In 1997, a friend dragged me to see the original film version of The Full Monty. Instantly, it became a personal favorite. When it was announced that it would be turned into an Americanized musical, my feelings were mixed. It could be really exciting as a musical, but it could also lose the emotional qualities that were at the center of the original story. So it was with some trepidation that I headed to the Old Globe in the summer of 2000 to see the pre-Broadway production. Happily, my fears were put to rest. The musical still held on to the essence of the film. It still had heart and wasn't afraid to show it.
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"—FDR's famous quote during the Great Depression could easily be a tagline for this show. These men are all suffering from economic insecurity, and that insecurity leads to other insecurities about who they are, what they are worth and what is really important. Sometimes we need strip ourselves down, get at the core and understand ourselves before we can show others who we are. I think that is the beauty of this story. It's not the surface that counts, it's what's underneath.
And, of course, sometimes you just need to dance!
Manny Fernandes, Director
Creating Meaning, Pt. 5
Actor Dana Case, playing the role of Marty, shares her impressions upon reading CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION for the first time:
- I like the simplicity of it. The musicality.
- Quick snippets that are filled.
- Sort of Pinteresque. So much between the lines.
- I care about these characters.
- It starts out seeming trite, but steadily grows in depth.
- Ends with hope.
- Change.
Creating Meaning, Pt 4
I jumped at the chance to direct this Obie Award-winning play because there are so many things that I love about Annie Baker's work: the motley crew of quirky characters, the naturalistic way that her characters speak with sparse, nuanced dialogue, the clues that are revealed but not put together until scenes later, and her fascination with small-town sensibilities.
Annie Baker was highly influenced by Chekov, and, like Chekovian characters, these Shirley, Vermont residents are preoccupied with learning to accept disappointment in their lives. The lovelorn characters, regretful over misspent youth and missed opportunities, bump up against each other in poignant moments that are touching and awkward and funny.
I was drawn to the role of Marty immediately because, like her, I am a teacher. I must admit, I still tear up a little when Marty is disappointed that Schultz's family exercise hasn't worked — she feels she has let him down. Most of the exercises that Annie Baker showcases in her script are based on the teaching practices of Viola Spolin, whose work was intended to help actors focus their awareness in order to respond authentically to the given circumstances of a script. "Circle, Mirror, Transformation" is an improv favorite that acting teachers have used for years.
One of the challenges in producing Circle Mirror Transformation is the many blackouts and the lack of an intermission. Annie Baker is obsessed with pauses and silences and cares more for content than form. "Circle Mirror Transformation without pauses is a satire," she says, and she provides a chart with instructions as to the duration of each pause or silence, long or short. We are honoring the playwright by following her instructions exactly as prescribed.
My painful separation from the show has already happened – we opened. The experience is kind of like sending kids to college; as a parent, you want to hover, but you also know that they need to forge ahead on their own.
Creating Meaning, Pt. 3
I first read CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION with a group of NVA actors. Dana Case, Jack Missett, Daren Scott, Amanda Sitton, the late Sandra Ellis-Troy (pictured left), and I were participating in an Ensemble retreat out in Palm Desert. We read about 6 plays that weekend, and, of all the plays we read, this one stood out as the most exciting for NVA to produce.
We applied for the rights to produce the play, but we were denied for two years in a row because of other planned productions. We were thrilled to receive the rights for Season 13, which enabled us to produce the San Diego premiere of this prize-winning play.
What I love about this story is that it arrives at universal truths through simple storytelling. The show is remarkably subtle. Annie Baker trusts her audience to get to know these characters and travel with them through the story. She gives us time to meet them, time to get to know them, and time to share what they are going through.
There's no big dramatic action that happens in this play. It's about ordinary people in a small town, going through relatively ordinary things. But, through the work of a creative drama class, the characters' inner workings are revealed: slowly, comically, intimately, and beautifully. It's a perfect piece for the NVA stage.
Come and take the time to get to know Marty, James, Theresa, Schultz, and Lauren. We firmly believe that you'll be glad you did.

Creating Meaning, Pt. 2
The quality of Circle Mirror that first attracted me was how different it was from everything I've read, seen, and performed. It was atmospheric -a meditation, as the playwright described it. I've always been taught that plays are "heightened reality," and I generally agree with that. But if we apply that concept too rigidly, we fail to recognize the grit of pure "reality." Circle Mirror does away with traditional plotline and contrived dialogue and still ends up in a totally different place than where it began. There's something extremely intimate about this approach that tells the everyman that his/her real life is represented in art and is capable of radical change. I realized later that my attraction to Circle Mirror also stemmed from recognition of a similar transformation that had occurred in my own life.
I started "serious-actor-training" when I was thirteen, basically by accident, when my best friend who I thought I was in love with asked me to accompany him to a scary adult class that evening so he wouldn't be alone. Obviously I went. And that turned out to be my first exposure to New Village Arts; Lisa Berger (now co-owner of Meisner/Chekhov Integrated Training Studio) was teaching a Meisner class there, and I ended up staying for over three years. Long story short, her class prompted my networking, and I ended up training and performing at NVA, MiraCosta College, Patio Playhouse, and my high school. I remember severe anxiety every time I had to speak in front of my Meisner class. I remember not being able to focus on anyone but myself/my performance/my reception and preceding everything I said with an apology. After being given the opportunity to work with people who eclipsed me in skill tenfold, and having been forced to stand by my work in that environment no matter where I was in my journey, I have transformed.
But I'm not done yet! I feel like that's such a superficial way to illustrate success stories. I didn't stop growing when I was cast in this show just like Lauren doesn't stop growing after her six weeks in Marty's class. I was shocked when I heard that I would be playing Lauren. The actors in this cast have more years of experience than I have of my life, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can from working with them. As for "creating meaning," probably every good actor I know has told me that they're frequently troubled by the idea that they don't really know what they're doing. So describing the technique is a difficult thing to do, especially because I'm such a baby actor. Robert DeNiro said, "Sometimes I get moments I know are right on the head, almost an epiphany, knowing you're exactly there; you're in the moment, in character. Most of the other times it's just a struggle to get through it and hope that it's right." My experience thus far has been pretty similar. Some of the most important things I've learned so far include:
- Trust your instincts; they are good.
- You can't ruin everything. It's a play. It's bigger than you.
- You don' t have to "solve" the play, you only have to interpret it.
- First-year Meisner work, though it has positively shaped my life, has also caused me to lean towards self-indulgent, playing-at-emotion-acting that I need to keep in check.
- Focusing on the other person is the groundwork for everything.
- I am still learning.

"What kind of world is this that can send machines to Mars and does nothing to stop the killing of a human being?"
"If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good, and the very gentle, and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry."
"If I am killed, I can die but once; but to live in constant dread of it, is to die over and over again"
"Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself."
"Crabgrass can grow on bowling balls in airless rooms, and there is no known way to kill it that does not involve nuclear weapons."
"Firemen are going to get killed. When they join the department they face that fact. When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of work. They were not thinking of getting killed when they went where death lurked. They went there to put the fire out, and got killed. Firefighters do not regard themselves as heroes because they do what the business requires."

I don't know who's in charge of marketing over at Louis Vuitton, but that person is a genius. I mean, would I be writing about some stupid purses that I really don't care about if it was for the fact that Scarlett Johansson just so happens to be wearing nothing but lingerie in these ads? I think not.
Sure, LV probably paid a lot to get Scarlett Johansson half naked for their ad campaign, but the amount of free advertising they're going to get out of that move is gonna be big. And if Scarlett Johansson's breasts are any indication, it's gonna be really big.
Genius. Pure genius.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals tackle Jared Veldheer refutes Reggie McKenzie's claims
Jared Veldheer's signing with the Arizona Cardinals was big, both literally and figuratively.
The massive 6-foot-8, 322-pound tackle will step into the starting spot on the left side to solidify a position that has been a weakness for the Cardinals for several years. But the team on the other side of the signing is feeling an equally big loss.
Oakland Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie told Vic Tarfur of the San Francisco Chronicle Tuesday that losing Veldheer was difficult and the Raiders didn't pursue a contract more aggressively because the tackle wanted out.
"Losing Veldheer was a blow to me. He didn't want to come back. It wasn't about finances. The kid didn't want to play for the Raiders anymore, and I struggled with that," McKenzie said.
Veldheer refuted McKenzie's claims Wednesday morning with Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.
"I appreciate everything that Oakland did for me over the last four years, we just couldn't get (a contract) done. It wasn't that I didn't want to be there, because I know that's been said recently," he said. "That just wasn't the case. Things were unable to get done at the table and that led to free agency and now I looking forward to Arizona and looking to what the future has here."
Veldheer has been a member of the Cardinals for about two weeks, but had his first thoughts about joining the team four years when he was coming out of tiny Hillsdale College in Michigan.
"Coming out of college, I was down here on a pre-draft visit," Veldheer told Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Wednesday. "So I had a chance to meet with some of the personnel guys that are still with the Cardinals and I had a chance to be around the organization a little bit then.
"I was like 'man, this would be a pretty great place to play' -- and not just because it's a great football team but a really nice place to live and a place where I can see myself being part of the community."
Of course, that didn't happen right away. The Raiders selected Veldheer in the third round of the 2010 draft and he became a fixture on the left side of the team's offensive line before hitting the free agent market earlier this month.
"Fast forward four years and basically I didn't know what to expect going into free agency, because there's so much that can happen and everything happens so fast," Veldheer said. "But when (general manager) Steve Keim and my agent started talking, it went really fast. They were very aggressive and made it clear that they wanted me here and ever since then, it was clear that I was going to be an Arizona Cardinal."

For the longest time, I swore up and down that I would never be a whiskey (or bourbon) girl. I wasn't interested. As far as I was concerned, if the smell was indicative of the taste, I would surely hate it, and it wasn't even worth a sip.
… It took me I was 26 to even give it a try.
Fittingly so, my first grown-up whiskey drink was at Whiskey Kitchen in Nashville. And then I fell head over heels.
So when Winston and I were discussing what recipe to kick off The Cocktail Chronicles with, we pretty much came to a unanimous decision to start with a whiskey/bourbon drink. Then after flipping through the recipes, we decided this one was calling to us. And that was a good thing, y'all.
Here we go:
- 4½ tablespoons bourbon
- 1½ tablespoons cranberry juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup
- Shake all the ingredients extremely well with plenty of large ice cubes, and pour the mixture unstrained into a chilled glass.
- Garnish with a slice of lemon or a couple of cranberries.

Map of Marco's Journey
The Man of a Million Lies?
Apart from a book written by a writer of fiction dictated by a fellow prisoner-of-war, we have no evidence that Marco Polo ever undertook the epic journey that he relates. As a trading family, the Polo's testimony can be assumed to be true to a certain degree based upon the movements and reasons for travel of contemporary travellers. Historical records on such things as battles which Marco mentions, and trading routes, can also help to back up his story.
There is a general myth that has grown up around Marco Polo, mainly well-intentioned attempts to inspire children to study, that Marco introduced such things as spaghetti, noodles and ice cream to China and the West. There is no truth to any of these claims and indeed Marco never cites them in his book.
When Marco returned from his long travels and recounted his tale to his fellow countrymen, he was not believed by many, even long after his death. His stories about paper money and black stone that burned (coal) seemed too much to be taken credibly. Ironically, Marco Polo is now doubted by many historians precisely because of what he fails to mention.
Despite great attention to the architecture and structure of the buildings he sees, Marco never mentions the Great Wall of China, ironically built many years before to keep out the very Mongol people who now ruled over northern China. Neither does he mention the ancient Chinese practise of foot-binding, which, bearing in mind his usual fascination in foreign culture, seems an unusual oversight. The exotic, artistic style of Chinese writing similarly escapes note.
Of course, it should be remembered that the book was written some time after the events that it recounts, and any number of arguments can counter such accusations of fraud.
Two more areas of doubt surround Marco Polo's alleged affairs in the politics of Kublai Khan's court. One is his alleged involvement in the Battle of Xiangyang. In the chapter concerning the battle, Rustichello relates Marco's tale of how the Polo's developed seige engines "by which the city will be forced to surrender forthwith". In fact the seige had begun some three years before the Polo's arrival in China and a year before Marco's arrival in Xiangyang.
Marco Polo claims to have been a close and trusted aide to Kublai Khan and that he was made governor of Yangzhou for three years. Chinese records, usually meticulous about such details, never mention him. It has been argued that the word sejourna or "stayed" in Yangzhou, may have been mis-translated as governa or "governed". This seems a plausible explanation given the number of translations over the years and demonstrates how there are as many arguments in favour of Marco's exploits as there are those against.
Marco Polo's book nevertheless remains a unique and remarkably insightful book for its age. Whichever side of the argument you may subscribe to, the books importance should never be underestimated in the influence it eventually had for future travellers. Christopher Columbus left us a copy of a well-thumbed edition that he carried and read as inspiration on his own epic voyages.
Historian Frances Wood provides a full and lively debate on the subject of Marco's veracity in her volume, Did Marco Polo Go to China? For the interested lay person, nothing can beat reading the various translations that exist in print today. Of these, there are the Yule-Cordier edition, written by Sir Henry Yule in 1903 which provides extensive foot notes and background detail. Another important edition is the one by Benedetto which uses another earlier source as the basis for its translation. Probably the most accessible version currently in print is that by Ronald Latham. Whichever version you choose to read, the real journey for Marco Polo has only just begun.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A Gies Co. man stands accused of selling prescription drugs he bought using TennCare health care insurance. Lacy Frank Walls, Jr., 58, was charged with TennCare fraud, according to the Office of the Inspector General. If convicted, the Pulaski man could face up to two-year sentence.
He was arrested following a joint investigation between the OIG and the 22nd Judicial Drug Task Force. Officials say he used TennCare medical benefits to obtain the prescription painkiller Hydrocodone with the intention of selling some of them.
"Communities, local police, and healthcare providers across the state are joining with us in focusing on prescription drug abuse, especially when TennCare is involved," Inspector General Deborah Faulkner said. "We're working with local authorities in communities throughout Tennessee to stop those who are reselling their prescription drugs."

How the Internet Failed to Change Our Lives
Wrapping up this year and having spent some incredible time with an amazingly diverse set of innovations (and innovators), I starting wondering if and how the internet has really failed to deliver on its promise. One of the sobering realities of a capitalistic economy is that the almighty dollar, indeed, causes tremendous innovations, services, and technologies to arrest; to stop evolving for the sake of making money. Just the other week, I explored this idea with regard to our internet service and that led me to question how the same is true of the internet in general.
The Promise of the Internet
When I was working at Yahoo, years and years ago, and we were pulling together the different Y! properties (e.g. Sports, News, Finance, etc.), while the world continued to innovate media (Netflix), Commerce (Amazon), etc., the promise of what we were doing by aggregating everything held the possibility of ubiquity and omniscience.
Today, I'm saddened as a user and motivated as an entrepreneur by the fact that we still don't have that. Nothing works together; I have to have hundreds of accounts and passwords; reviews on Yelp don't affect my experience with Foursquare; I watch Hulu on my Wii but it doesn't know what I've already seen or reviewed on Amazon or Netflix; I tell the internet when and where I'm traveling but it's incapable of ensuring I get the best rates on my travel or remembering how and when I want to travel; I pay my taxes with TurboTax but it doesn't work well with my bank, Ameritrade account, or accounting – and forget about the government (or anyone for that matter) being able to take my money without me having to do something the old fashioned way (in person, via fax, with a signature). The internet knows everything about me – not just what I like but what I need – and yet online advertising still sucks. I can't pay for a song or service for music on one device and listen to the same song anywhere else whenever I want (okay, so that's not entirely true when you consider what Spotify has accomplished). I can't believe I still had to stand in front of a box that looks like it was built in the 90's to vote for the President of the United States using a dial and an LCD display instead of doing it from my home, naked, with complete and transparent insight to exactly what either candidate actually does – and therefore will do!
|Why? Not because it isn't possible. ALL the data exists. All of the APIs exists to connect everything. The standards have been defined and generally accepted to make it all work.
So why? Because entrepreneurs still generally believe in value in control. (and Governments are ensuring that belief, in spite of "the internet" revolting over the ideas of Net Neutrality or UN oversight).
|What is an API anyway?
An abbreviation of application program interface which is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer then puts the blocks together.
To some extent, it's true that control = value, but it's also what holds us back. Think about Google's mission and how they started – to index all of the world's information and make it available. They didn't decide that you had to have a Google account. You didn't have to pay for it. Then, and now, you didn't even need to use Google as they offered the search index and experience as an appliance so that anyone else could make it available on their site – free. And that thinking revolutionized the internet more than anything before or since. Sounds like a profound statement but I'd challenge you to justify that anything has had such a revolutionary impact (convince me I'm wrong in the comments). Did it hurt Google to give up that control? Hardly.
Only in thinking so big as to leverage what's really possible with the internet will we completely revolutionize what it does for us.
It can and should be ubiquitous. And accessible. And simple. And omniscient. It should have changed our lives so much more than it has because you should be able to manage your life simply, be entertained how ever you want, get accurate news and information on demand, provide feedback that's immediately heard and accounted for.
But you can't. Not because it can't, but because even though the promise of that world is incredible, we really don't want it.
One Response to "How the Internet Failed to Change Our Lives"
Jorge says :
I have used the Internet since 1991, when it was created and maintained for government agencies and quasi-government agencies such as universities. I never once during those years felt that it was something that held the potential to be commercialized, although I was completely wrong. Broadband internet costs a lot for the average working person, and they will continue to expect it to provide free content, like in the old days, and not to be a vehicle for paid services. Part of the reason is that those services don't work as well as they are advertised, which is part of what you are pointing out here. The Internet is just too slow to provide the services that go beyond text and images delivered in one direction (informational websites/blogs/journalism).

Problem with Mail Merge Office 2003 using Outlook
I have attempted to print out mailing labels from my Contacts Folder in Outlook 2003 without success.
I list here the steps taken so far :-
1.Contact page selected in Outlook containing all the addresses I want to print. I then click Tools> Mail Merge.
2. In the MM Page I have selected;- All Contacts,All Contact Fields & Mailing Labels
3. Selecting "OK" launches MS Word with instructions to click "SETUP" in Section 1 of the MM Helper Page which now appears.
4.When this is clicked , the "LABEL OPTIONS" Page appears
5 Here I select "AVERY A4 & A5 sizes" with Product Number of L7160.
6.cLICKING "ok" brings me to the Blank Label Page with MM Helper Page still superimposed on it.
7 There are 3 choices on this page with the 3rd choice "MERGE" greyed out.
I only use the Mail Merge facility rarely , the last time was almost a year ago , but I seem to remember that the 3rd choice here . i.e. "MERGE" was not "greyed out" the last time I used this facility.
Any advice as to how to resolve this would be appreciated.

In this I used the buttons as instructed which are on the Mail Merge Toolbar and which you use towards the end of the procedure.
This was a slightly different approach from the method I described in my OP in this thread where I did not use the MM Toolbar in Word and eventually got stuck at the point mentioned in that post.The last time I attempted to use MM I'm pretty sure I managed then without using the MM Toolbar.
However KB287561 enabled me to complete the task successfully.
Thanks again for the help.

As his knowledge of the game grew, he played poker casually throughout high school and college to supplement his income. Following college on the East Coast, Eli returned to the Bay Area to work at a software startup. At the same time, Eli began a more serious, intellectual approach to poker. Eli plays both tournaments and cash games at local card rooms and has had several strong tournament finishes.

How is the boa love button these days? I see it all the time on my account page and just wondering if it's a hard inq if I request it.
I hit the luv button about a month ago on BOA's website and got a CLI from $8300 to $10000. It was a soft pull on my reports. I have had the card for about 2 years with no CLIs.
it wasn't a hard pull for us, but it wasn't an approval, either
One caveat to my post above....I hit the luv button around December and was declined for a CLI then. Don't know what exactly happened in the next couple months, but they showed me luv in February. Both were soft pulls.
I hit the luv button yesterday for a cli I was then directed to a page that stated I needed to call this number in order to proceed, I had to speak to a credit analyst but was given a $1,000 cli and it was a soft pull. Good Luck
I keep reading about account closures after requesting a CLI online. I'm holding out to pull the trigger until I can afford to lose them.
04-03-2010 12:28 PM - edited 04-03-2010 12:28 PM
My husband had requested a CLI over the phone in Nov., it was a hard pull. Denied. He hit the button last month and it did the message. Called for a recon., they said it would be another pull and basically just a re-asking for one. We waited til we got the letter and the letter said per his credit card agreement there would be no credit limit increases. I have saved everything we've ever received from them through mail and online. Nothing stated those were his new terms. YMMV

- Awesome!MingoDined on 11/9/2014What a wonderful place for a special occasion! The food was very good and the service impeccable. The bottomless champagne didn't hurt either. We now have Chaminade on our radar and will be back soon.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 11/6/2014Nice views on a lovely sunny day. Food was disappointing, however. Rolls were dry and hard. Lunch special beef sliders were so dry we had to ask for mayo. Skirt steak salad was OK but overpriced.Special Features:
- Average-ish...joeandjenDined on 10/26/2014We are regular diners in the area, and devout foodies... We first tried Linwood last year, for restaurant week, and were very, very pleased. Our visit this year was not at all the same. We were disappointed in our service , even though there were only a few tables seated ~ there was a lack of timing, and attention to our group. Last year's amazing warm goat cheese salad had become, this year, a large deep-fried ball of goat cheese ; no subtlety there. The tomatoes in the caprese were amazing, but otherwise each of our dishes seemed to us to lack, well, passion... Perhaps it was an off night for them, but we have had many better experiences around town...Special Features:
- great view and food!Capitoladiner2Dined on 10/25/2014We ate at at Linwood's during Santa Cruz Restaurant Week. It was a $35 fixed price menu with great choices. Each of 3 courses was excellent in taste and presentation. The goat cheese arugula salad was excellent as was the smoked salmon pasta and the gnocchi with yummy braised fall veggies.They had a pumpkin creme brule baked in a mini pumpkin - cute and tasty! The pumpkin softened the intense sugar taste, a nice combination. Service was good, watched a nice sunset. Definitley will be back!Special Features:
- Great BrunchMrWizard10Dined on 10/5/2014This is a great place to go for a Sunday Champagne Brunch. Outdoor and indoor seating with a view of the ocean. Friendly staff who make sure that your Champagne glass gets refilled when you want to take your next sip. Definitely will go back again for special occasions and when guests are in town.Special Features:
- Nice for a get-away lunch.capsanjoseDined on 10/4/2014Outside the Bar and Grill is outstanding with the beautiful view. The food was okay, not particularly inspired, i.e, he fish tacos were just okay, felt like healthy was the goal with this dish. Go for the ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great View; disappointed with foodOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 10/1/2014Visited last week for a birthday dinner with our daughter. The ambiance is great; bar tender greeted and seated us. It was not busy and we were able to be seated outside at the "fire pit" tables that have a gas flame in the center. Beautiful clear night but if you want to enjoy the view; come early. We enjoyed the starry night. Waitperson was friendly and knowledgable. I asked about the gnocchi dish and he said it was very popular and gnocchi were "melt in your mouth." They were not; they were chewy, and tasted very pre-fab. The entire dish was a disappointment. Other two diners shared a salad and a pizzetta. They said they were OK; not remarkable. Linwood's can be so much better than our meal reflected.Special Features:
- ChaminadeLagodiComo123Dined on 9/25/2014Service was great, specials were very yummy and the go to menu is also good, view can hardly be beatSpecial Features:
- Wedding anniversary lunchLividdavidVIPDined on 9/6/2014We came here for our wedding anniversary lunch. Just a private celebration. A very nice menu and excellent champagne, too. The Reuben panini and the chopped salad were excellent. Other menu items sounded great, too. For dessert we had the lemon tart and the molten chocolate cake. The former was not very good (too sweet, not lemony); the latter was excellent. Service was wonderful at all points. This place is a keeper.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding View Wonderful BrunchCampbellgalDined on 8/24/2014Linwood provided an beautiful spot for a large family gathering for brunch to celebrate a family birthday. Food was excellent. They accommodated toddlers well. The view is beautiful. Highly recommend, especially for a special occasion.Special Features:
- One redeeming factorLv2eatDined on 8/10/2014The one redeeming factor in the meal for 4 people with 4 different food choices was the tempura green beans - although not enough of a portion to share amongst 4 people.Special Features:
- Great PatioSusanVIPDined on 8/3/2014I always like taking my out of town guests to Linwoods Grill for lunch. I like the patio so you have the beautiful view of the Monterey Bay and a nice lunch with good food.Special Features:
- Charming experience!Luv2DinewithmydogDined on 8/2/2014Wonderful patio area where I can meet with friends and take my dog. They even have a dog menu! The menu was good and the service was wonderful. The view was refreshing. I will definitely go back to this charming restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- DissapointingFBOracleDined on 7/19/2014Was there years ago and had very high end meals. Is now much more casual place and very limited menu. View very reduced by trees if sitting insideSpecial Features:
- Sunday BrunchdiningmagnetDined on 7/6/2014Outdoors on a beautiful day with great patio views to the ocean and beyond. Food was quite reasonable for the price and service was great. The champaigne glasses were filled with due diligence consistently. One negative was a group of women that were inappropriately loud and boisterous (much to drink and did not care of others around them). We were there celebrating our wedding anniversary and the gals made an otherwise perfectly romantic and pleasantly enjoyable Sunday brunch into a situation in which we wanted ear muffs to cushion the screaching and loud giggles. Once they left (which was at the very end) the environment was quite peacefull and lovely. I write this off to our bad luck with the clientele that day. We would go back.Special Features:
- terrible servicevalleyscum1Dined on 7/6/2014It took 20 minutes to get a glass of ice water after asking. Had to ask twice, then got it 5 minutes later. Never refilled. It took the same to get the check, just not attentive. I guess it's s laid back Santa Cruz thing. ... overheard the manager talking and the word "gnarly" was used 3 times is a brief conversation ! Lol ! I guess I'm just a valley, and expect better service? Oh, and we had a party of 6, so 18 and a half gratuity (guess that's why the service is crap, money in the bag. Why do anything at all? ) total tip was $38 ! Maybe 4 visits to table by wait staff ! Joke !
- Unforgetable dining experience!BlissDined on 6/23/2014From the view of the trees from the patio, to the delicious food and friendly service, we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experiences here. The friendly staff made us feel very welcome, especially our server, Sarah. They were very accomodating to my needs for vegetarian modifications, no questions asked. We had two excellent dinners there and were delighed by the grilled brussel sprouts, the battered green beans, and the fried artichoke hearts. WOW! We would go back if we lived closer.Special Features:
- Enchanting view, delectable food!BlissDined on 6/22/2014We ate there two nights in a row and enjoyed our meals both nights. Our waitress, Sarah, made us feel right at home. They accomodated all my requests as a vegetarian, such as making the tacos without the fish and the pasta with red sauce. The prices were very fair, the servings just right, and we had two dishes we never had before: batter fried green beans (OMG!) and fried artichoke hearts. We had a table looking over a canyon full of trees and it was refreshing for our souls. It is a place that takes your breath away!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ambiance was only good thingFlotrop05Dined on 6/21/2014I went here with my wife because I wanted a romantic restaurant near santa cruz with a beautiful view. The view was gorgeous and we sat outside at sunset which made the ambiance even better. The food and service were dreadful however. My wife and I both ordered a ribeye and it was so overcooked it was barely eatable. The rest of the food was either okay or substandard. The service was terrible. They initially told us they had no tables available outside but we decided to wait until one opened up. While we were waiting, I decided to go outside to check out the view. Not only were there tables open... the majority of the tables were open. The wait staff was slow and unhelpful. Go for a drink and the view. Nothing else.Special Features:
- BrunchLoMoraDined on 6/15/2014We had a wonderful time. My daughter and I treated our husbands for Father's Day brunch and the food was fresh and delicious! My husband and I have eaten there several times before and we always leave content. We have not had a bad experience with service or the food. It was a first for our daughter and son-in-law and they really enjoyed the ambiance, staff and food. They left Chaminade thinking it would be a great place to get married all over again. Who knows, they may renew their vows on their 10th anniversary!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BrunchGreatfoodsDined on 6/15/2014This was great to take my freiend out for Fathers day . We loved the brunch.Special Features:
- DisappointingFarmersMarketJunkieDined on 6/1/2014What an amazing gem Chaminade is in terms of location - historical, ocean view outdoor dining, wooded country setting. Sadly, the quality of the food served to us for dinner was very low yet the prices as high as some of our areas most renowned restaurants who use locally raised produce, meats and seafood, transformed into unforgettable meals. Despite friendly service, I could never recommend this restaurant to anyone because of the poor preparation of our food (old salad greens, plastic bag pieces cooked into the calamari batter, bland tasting braised meat, undercooked brussel sprouts), unimaginative offerings, and unjustified prices.Special Features:
- LionessDined on 6/1/2014My sister&I had Sunday brunch buffet(delicious/lots to choose from)sat outside(beautiful flowers/warm day)and very attentive wait people(all young ladies/pleasant manners)-we will be back!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/23/2014Linen table cloth prices, hard uncomfortable chairs/table seating.
- Sunday Brunch At The ChaminadeGreeneyedlady1Dined on 5/18/2014The champagne Sunday brunch is very good. This is the second time that we've gone to the Chaminade for their brunch, we have not tried any other dining experience as of yet. It is very reasonable, excellent display of various food and the food is very good along with a gorgeous views of the Monterey Bay, Santa Cruz and Monterey area. I would recommend the Sunday Brunch at the Chaminade for special occassions or just wanting a nice brunch with beautiful views. Sunday brunch buffets are few and far between and it is refreshing that the Chaminade has the Sunday buffet brunch. Thank you, Chaminade!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SusanVIPDined on 5/16/2014The view is remarkable. That is why I like to go. The wait staff seems a bit inexperienced and a little slow. The bread took forever to warm (really?) Doesn't a huge hotel always have bread? Otherwise everything was great.Special Features:
- Service terrible for price we paid.spoinkDined on 5/11/2014We went to their Easter and Mother's day brunches. Our experience was the same both times. The buffet is fantastic and the ambiance is wonderful. However, when we sit down, the staff takes a long time to notice us. When they notice us, they only talk to us once. If we need something while we're enjoying our meal, such as water, silverware, or the check, it was a challenge to find someone to help us. I was willing to forgive that once during Easter, but it happened again during the mother's day brunch. These are pricey buffets. We expect someone to ask how we're doing!Special Features:
- Expensive disappointmentStitchVIPDined on 5/11/2014We were really looking forward to spending Mother's Day here. First, we were not told that it would be a buffet, but OK, busy day it's understandable. The food was average to poor, though there was a lot of it. The prime rib was dry and tasteless. The service was deplorable. We were never told it would be $50 each for lousy food and service. Overall a disappointment and sad way to spend Mother's Day.
- Great location with a view!SFinSFVIPDined on 5/10/2014My girlfriend and I went here on a Saturday evening, and while the view was spectacular, the food was just "ok." It was fine for us, because we were there to relax and take in the sights. However, if you're a "foodie" or looking for a classic cocktail in a classy setting, you're setting your expectations too high. Consider reserving early so you can get a seat outside, but make sure you're near a heater because the weather can get chilly and windy quickly -- especially after sunset.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful viewdinnerfortwoDined on 5/3/2014We had appetizers on the patio in the early afternoon. Had tempura green beans and pear and cheese flat bread which were both delicious. Great view over Monterey Bay. In the evening we had dinner inside the restaurant and were not quite as satisfied. Had pork loin which was served too pink. When they tried to correct that, the pork was way too dry. The atmosphere inside was not very impressive. If we go back, we would have lunch on the very nice patio, but we would not go back for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brunch onlyOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 5/3/2014The dinner service was poor. Long wait so so food and poor attendance to needs by waiter. Portions are small.Special Features:
- Relaxed, nice but not tooElliotDined on 3/27/2014Relaxed, nice but not too formal, great view, good food , very pleasant waitress. Nothing bowled me over but it felt comfortable and would rise to the level of service I desired.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The service and food wereOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 3/15/2014The service and food were very good. Very beautiful view during sunset.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dining with a view....WinmatDined on 2/17/2014As you walk into Linwood Bar and Grill you are greeted with a smile by the friendly hostess. Seated right away to a table outside for some cozy late night dining. If we had only been out here in the daytime, the view would be even more spectacular. We saw the gleaming lights of Santa Cruz dancing in the distance while the smell of the ocean salted it's way up the hill. The cozy firetables served as a heater as we drank wine from the extensive wine list. We opted for some quick bites and the small bites menu served up just what we were looking for....Pizzettas, wth goat cheese and pear and then a round of tempura battered green beans....so good! Overall experience: so good, ambience even better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Valetine's day was a disappointmentOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/14/2014Valetine's day was a disappointment. We made reservations and were seated at 7:45pm and we were not served dinner until 9:30. The hostess staff was absent when we arrived and when they finally showed up, they were disorganized and had a poor attitude. The fixed menu seating area was only half full with about 20 tables. We were served one small roll of bread everytime we asked for more in addition the bread was not fresh. We even over heard the next table complaining that the service was below acceptable for the Chaminade. The food was good when it arrived and the meat was cooked properly. However I would think twice before coming back for any special occasion.Special Features:
- Valentine's DinnerChaminadeVIPDined on 2/14/2014Excellent food, service on a very special evening, we loved it!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Linwood's disappoints on V-DaysnewwithyouVIPDined on 2/14/2014We arrived on time for our 7 PM Valentine's Day reservation and were seated near the kitchen door and heavy wait-staff and other patron traffic routes to the kitchen and other tables. From the time we were served the very uninspiring, bland, and pitiful portions of our appetizer--roasted root vegetables on red endive, to receiving our entrées, over an hour and a half ticked away. The salads were served closer to the appetizer than to our entrées, but weren't memorable for their taste any more than the appetizer was. My duck confit was fine. The quinoa side was as boring as the appetizer. My husband ordered his filet mignon medium-rare and got rare instead. He was afraid to send it back for more cooking, as he might wait again. Desserts=bleh
- Not Ready for Valentines DayDougDined on 2/14/201445 minutes after sitting down - nothing but a glass of water was brought. We finally just left...
- Great Date NightOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 1/24/2014My fiancée and I had a Friday night dinner up in Lindwood's resturant. The view was great and we managed to get a table with a fire built into it. Booya! Had the salad special, which I think should be on the menu all the time. All in all, a perfect meal. I love being up here. I'm a local, and, feels like you are not in Santa Cruz up there, but on a getaway. Chaminade will now be in our date night rotation. Maybe we will even stay the night next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and View. Cool PlaceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 1/15/2014My wife and I had a great time Friendly staff Great food and view Try the Fish Tacos!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to nortriptyline: compounding powder, oral capsule, oral solution
Nervous system
Nearly all selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, mixed serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and tricyclic antidepressants cause sleep abnormalities to some extent. These antidepressants have marked dose-dependent effects on rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, causing reductions in the overall amount of REM sleep over the night and delays the first entry into REM sleep (increased REM sleep onset latency (ROL)), both in healthy subjects and depressed patients. The antidepressants that increase serotonin function appear to have the greatest effect on REM sleep. The reduction in REM sleep is greatest early in treatment, but gradually returns towards baseline during long-term therapy; however, ROL remains long. Following discontinuation of therapy the amount of REM sleep tends to rebound. Some of these drugs (i.e., bupropion, mirtazapine, nefazodone, trazodone, trimipramine) appear to have a modest or minimal effect on REM sleep.
Nervous system side effects have been common. Although nortriptyline is one of the least sedating tricyclic antidepressants, drowsiness has been reported. General stimulation (manifested by insomnia and subjective and objective evidence of increased activity) has been reported. Dizziness, sleep abnormalities, myoclonus, and cognitive impairment (especially in the elderly) have also been reported.
One study has suggested that use of parasympathomimetic agents, such as bethanechol chloride, may ameliorate some of the anticholinergic effects of nortriptyline (the active ingredient contained in Aventyl Hydrochloride) particularly in elderly patients.
Other side effects have included anticholinergic effects such as dry mouth, blurry vision, constipation, and urinary retention which have been reported frequently.
Cardiovascular side effects have included orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, syncope, PR interval prolongation, bundle branch blocks, and ventricular arrhythmias.
Both antiarrhythmic and proarrhythmic effects have been reported in association with nortriptyline therapy. Caution should be exercised if nortriptyline must be used in patients with cardiovascular disease.
One study has found a the relative risk of myocardial infarction to be 2.2 times greater in patients receiving tricyclic antidepressants including nortriptyline.
General side effects have included weight gain which has been frequently associated with the use of nortriptyline (the active ingredient contained in Aventyl Hydrochloride)
Endocrine side effects have been uncommon. Increased insulin sensitivity and hyponatremia (in association with SIADH) have been reported.
Gastrointestinal side effects have most frequently included constipation and dry mouth. Diarrhea and vomiting have also been reported.
Although nortriptyline (the active ingredient contained in Aventyl Hydrochloride) is not addicting, physical symptoms of withdrawal after abrupt discontinuation of tricyclic antidepressants have occurred. (Withdrawal from nortriptyline, however, has been reported less frequently than with other tricyclics.)
Hematologic side effects have been rare. A case of reversible neutropenia has been associated with the use of this drug.
Respiratory system side effects have been rare. A case report has suggested that nortriptyline (the active ingredient contained in Aventyl Hydrochloride) may depress CO2 sensitivity and ventilatory control in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Hepatic side effects have included case reports of hepatotoxicity associated with the use of nortriptyline (the active ingredient contained in Aventyl Hydrochloride) A case of fulminant hepatic failure has also been reported.
