A word from El Paseo
In 2009 local Mill Valley residents Tyler Florence and Sammy Hagar partnered to take over the restaurant. Seeking to maintain the historic charm and integrity of the building and gardens, they planned and designed a complete restoration of the storied interior and exterior spaces.Continued
We are very excited to bring a local institution back to its former glory.

- Good food, not the most consistent serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 11/25/2014When we arrived we had to wait almost 15 minutes for our reservation, and even then we had to go back and find the host, he seemed to have forgotten us. He was very nice and overall you can tell that the staff has had a lot of service training. Dinner was very good, no complaints about the food. Well, except the popovers, which were served before food arrived, were a bit too thin and dry, but served with very good butter. But as the evening progressed, our service got slower and slower. Finally our dinner plates were cleared and we sat so long at an empty table that I had to flag down a runner to ask for our waiter. When he finally arrived, we ordered dessert and asked for the check at the same time. But it took a very long time to receive dessert and he still didn't bring the check until after dessert. Overall, it was a good experience, but the service needs to be more consistent. We'll go back but not for a while.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- El Paseo Rip OffOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/25/2014I ordered a NY Strip, which appeared at the bottom of the menu without a price. I thought they just ran out of space on the menu and that the price would be reasonable. Well, I was naive. It cost $140 dollars, more than double anything else on the menu. To say that I felt taken advantage of would be a gross understatement. The waiter should have advised me.
- Okay food. Great Atmosphere.OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/24/2014El Paseo is a gem. It's a beautiful, all brick, romantic restaurant tucked away in a winding old alley in Mill Valley. Wonderful ambiance, but the food is marginal and pricey. If I'm paying that much for a steak it better melt like butter. Speaking of butter, the mashed potatoes were out of this world. Wine list is good. Chef made us caramel sauce as a special request and that was a nice touch, but still, overall, too much money for too little food wow factor. Service was very good.
- Great food, great ambiance, ZERO serviceScottypDined on 11/23/2014Not much one can say about the food except WOW! From salds to desert the food was the star, which was a good thing. The service was HORRIBLE. We sat for 55 minutes before our salads arrived. Drinks were not refilled until we asked and the whole experience was ruined by our server who seemed annoyed we were there.
- The food was outstanding! Lovely experience.MeandmydogsDined on 11/22/2014The restaurant is beautiful and feels very cozy. We ordered several small plates to share, which was a great way to taste several dishes. One of my favorites was the Morrocon lamb, with the perfect combination of tangy, sweet and savory. Also the red snapper with the chorizo paella was terrific. Definitely the place to go for a special occasion. Their version of bread pudding was unique and very good, with a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Yogurt ice cream was a nice touch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great night night outAndyPDined on 11/21/2014My wife and I would like to thank your establishment and the staff for a wonderful night. Service was wonderful and very helpful. Meal came at a leisurely pace but, appropriate. The filet was outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Normally an amazing place!OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 11/14/2014I will always love this Restaraunt, but sadly they missed the mark this last visit. We waited longer than usual for our food and wine order, and felt the waiter didn't have an interest giving great service just good. Food was good, but a couple of items were served cold. We will be back but left feeling frustrated this time vs other amazing dining experiences at El Paseo.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We were disappointed in the food and service.KukanaVIPDined on 11/14/2014Very spendy for poor quality of food. I doubt we will return in the future.
- DickDined on 11/10/2014Consistently excellent. What's often overlooked is the lovely opportunity for outdoor dining. On a mild to warm night, the backline courtyards are splendid.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/8/2014Was rather surprised and disappointed that they were out of three entrees by the 2nd seating.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing atmosphere, good foodLive2EatDined on 11/8/2014I'm a big Tyler Florence fan, so I had high hopes for El Paseo. The overall "vibe" of the restaurant did not disappoint! Such a charming atmosphere - cozy and so romantic. Lots of exposed brick, gas lanterns - such a lovely feel. The food was delicious! The menu definitely matches the warmth and charm of the restaurant itself. The maitre d was incredibly gracious and accommodating when we asked to be moved to a different table further away from the bar. Unfortunately our waiter was not engaging or informative. He seemed rushed and uninterested which is probably the main reason I wasn't truly "wowed" by the dining experience. If we lived in the area, we'd give this beautiful restaurant another try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- camilleVIPDined on 11/8/2014Restaurant is lovely, but we had a hiccup when we showed up 15 minutes early for a 6:15pm reservation. We were directed to the bar where there was no seating available, even though the restaurant was mostly empty. There were enough open tables which could accommodate the 6pm reservations and the 6:15 reservations, which they did after we hovered around pleading for a table. Why not just seat us? It was a negative way to start the evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FantasticmarindinerDined on 11/6/2014Love, Love, Love this restaurant. Chef Mike Ward hits every dish out of the park. My only regret is that my appetite isn't large enough to try everything on the menu. Everything I've tried has been fantastic. This is my absolute favorite restaurant in the bay area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- greatOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/1/2014The food, atmosphere and ambience were fantastic. I had a great experience here and would love to come back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time diningOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/26/2014I love the relaxed feel of this place – like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The steak and frites was delicious and squash soup was amazing and wine suggestion for our dinner paired well with our entree. Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable." Will definitely go back!Special Features:
- Love el paseo- but don't eat in barKatat49Dined on 10/25/2014We have been here several times and love it- on 10-25 we were early for our reservation and ready to wait; the host offered a table which turned out to be next to the bar.. Bad idea. The waitress hurried us ridiculously til we called her on it, then acted shocked ; took wine away before empty and really destroyed this celebratory birthday dinner . The noise from the bar got worse thru out dinner -we should have turned down the early table. Very disappointing. The food was great as always but the service and atmosphere was inferior- for the first time in our experiences there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RadhaDined on 10/23/2014This is a lovely place to have excellent food and feel incredibly well taken care of. It is a family favorite for our huge extended family. We had our daughters wedding here and it was amazing. All the details are/were perfect!Special Features:
- CaroleDined on 10/22/2014Our waiter struggled to handle all his tables (too many assigned to him?) but was pleasant and recommended very nice wine.Special Features:
- Sensitive and attentive staffMikeDined on 10/19/2014The manager and our waiter were very helpful and patient, and charming, with our large group. And the food was delicious. My out of town guests were impressed by the various aspects of the several dining areas.Special Features:
- Anniversary CelebrationAmbianceHunterSFVIPDined on 10/18/2014My husband and I celebrated our one-year wedding anniversary here last Saturday and I couldn't have asked for a better spot. From the exposed brick and warm candlelight, to the absolutely delicious food and friendly service, it was truly a perfect evening. Highly recommend for a special romantic occasion.Special Features:
- Delicious!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/18/2014A true gem in Mill Valley, from the food to the ambiance. Wonderful!Special Features:
- Food - Service = MehTamalGuyDined on 10/18/2014We chose to come here for my wifes birthday, having just moved into MV last year. Everything seemed fine until the waitress asked if she could bring our main course even though we hadnt finished our salads yet because we were talking. When I asked the manager to slow it down, the service from the waitress became less than acceptaple for a nice restaurant and we had to ask for every thing, including water after that. With a toddler at home and few opportunities to go out, I would not want to waste my time or money going here again despite the food being amazing. For the money, I would like the opportunity and time to enjoy our meal, without being rushed. We passed on drinks in the bar because of this.Special Features:
- Intimate but priceyMrli1Dined on 10/17/2014Great spot, great food, great service but be prepared to spend some money.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- El PaseoHungryDined on 10/17/2014Very intimate romantic dining. Our dinner was outstanding. The risotto was outrageous!Special Features:
- Service terrible, food mediocreMvleslieannVIPDined on 10/16/2014We went to El Paseo for our 31'st wedding anniversary and considering the service we were lucky to get out before our 32d. While the pastrami bone marrow and duck wings appetizers and lemon cream puffs desert were excellent the main course $80 cowboy rib eye was bland and flavorless. And we had to wait about 45 minutes to get the appetizers, 30 minutes to get the main course and probably another 60 minutes to get desert. And the waiter never apologized for the delays, he simply gave a shrug as thought "this is how things are." All in all dinner took about 3 hours when half that time would have been OK. And with a $70 bottle of wine this marathon dining experience cost about $250 for 2.
- MemorableJaneDined on 10/15/2014I took my special someone for their birthday to El Paseo as a surprise because he was a big fan of Sammy Hagar & the restaurant is part owned by him, along with Chef Tyler Florence. I mentioned this when I confirmed our reservations & when we got there, they gave us both a big surprise by seating us at the owner's table! Right where Sammy sits when he eats there. Needless to say, we were stoked about it & the whole dining experience was just fantastic. From the food, the wine & the ambiance. We couldn't ask for a more romantic & special dinner. An experience we will never forget. Thank you El Paseo!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great date night spot!DeliKingDined on 10/15/2014My wife and I shared the NY Strip, pumpkin soup, and Mac&Cheese. Each item was sooooo good! The buser's were great and refilled my water glass at least 10 times. The ambience was excellent and super romantic. I enjoyed the music in the background as well as the New Orleans style brick work/lighting. Only downfall of the whole evening was, nobody said happy birthday to my wife and there was no free dessert or drink. I specifically stated it was her b day in my reservation, but oh well... Lastly, wine list was great and beer list was okay. I really feel a fancy place like this needs to sell hard liqour though. All n all, great meal and great time and I'll definitely be coming back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not accommodating.OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 10/15/2014When I tried to change the reservation from 6:30 to 7. The restaurant said that because they were busy only 6:45 worked. When we got there the place was empty and was only half full through our entire dinner. We thought they could have been more accommodating.
- A French FairytalekyylllaaaaDined on 10/12/2014We went here for our one year anniversary and had a magical time. Everyone from the hostess to the person clearing our plates made us feel so welcomed and special! And the food was delicious! Hands down best chops we've ever had, the chef was even kind enough to send us some soup on the house as we waited for our steaks! We will be sure to be back for every anniversary here on out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- kimkDined on 10/10/2014the service was impeccable. the kitchen accommodated our special needs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful birthday celebrationBarbDined on 10/8/2014Mill Valley was happening on the night I celebrated a big birthday at El Paseo. The film festival was in full swing, and the town was packed. But all that did not affect the excellent service, food, and ambiance our party of seven experienced. All of us rated the dinner a five-star event.Special Features:
- Always flawed…disappointing...OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 10/7/2014IF you are going JUST for drinks and snacks, this is a cozy and charming place though considered overpriced even in the local community.. Unfortunately this will be the last time we go back (after 3-4 visits since opening.) Somehow even the simplest things are missed, just not done "right." Salad gritty and under-dressed, as well as quite small. (Pet peeve: why do so many restaurants skimp on a few lettuce leaves?) And why did the waitress never ask how it was but two different bussers asked if I was done with the salad even though I clearly hadn't finished. Wine pour seems minimal for the price. Perfect crispy frites with steak were swimming on top of a large amount of (tasty) sauce, but made the fries instantly soggy. Too bad. Oh well.
- Praise the lardpraisethellardDined on 10/7/2014Dining at El Paseo last night was a real treat. I figure when a fine dining restaurant leads off it's entrées with a hamburger, one has to try it. I am so glad I did! The combination of meats was so juicy and flavorful & the additional blue cheese, aioli, artisan bacon, and amazing pickles made it a perfect hamburger. We opened with the deviled eggs… outstanding. My wife had the walnut, mushroom and truffle risotto...she was in heaven. Our party had a limited time to eat and they actually opened up the restaurant 15 minutes early to accommodate our needs and we had never dined there before. Kudos to El Paseo!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- VFL1985Dined on 10/3/2014It has to be special to leave the multitudes of great restaurants in San Fran and it delivers. Love Mill Valley as well!Special Features:
- Love this placeelsalilliVIPDined on 10/3/2014how can you go wrong if you love steak! Its fabulous. I've been there several times and have sat at tables in the dining room, at the bar as well as outside. All three provide a different dining experience and all are fabulous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic!OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/27/2014Don't miss an opportunity to visit El Paseo - it's always a hit and fun experience!!Special Features:
- Solid Food & Spotty ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 9/26/2014From this Mill Valley standard, surprised with inconsistent table service. Food was solid although pork belly over prepared/ cooked. A lighter touch with salt would have been nice.Special Features:
- Very tasty but expensiveFizzleDined on 9/26/2014The food is great. But it is pricey. $19 hamburger, for example, was delicious.Special Features:
- good not greatsfosparkyDined on 9/24/2014kale salad with tomato was yummi and I had no real issues however, we had said we would have another glass of wine with our entree and even though the restaurant was not crowded we were nearly done with the entree. I ordered the Pork chop which obviously was good (not great) but maybe I am a bigger fan of cutting my own porkchop instead of having it sliced. My other guest enjoyed the red snapper. That said, its worth another try for meSpecial Features:
- El Paseo ReviewSimoneDined on 9/21/2014Normally, the fact that it took 45 minutes for the waiter to take our order would have annoyed us greatly. but we were there early and were celebrating a friend's birthday so we didn't mind. The food was excellent. The four of us shared two butter lettuce salads and the beet and fig salad -- all good. I had the scallops -- it was the perfect sized portion for me but I think anyone else would think it would have been too small. The other 3 had the lamb shanks and while they all really liked the flavor, the dish looked on the small side to me, especially considering the price ($32). Overall, pricey, and I'm not sure it was worth it. I wouldn't make a special trip to go there again but would if I happened to be in Mill Valley.Special Features:

The pilot stated that he fueled the airplane for two flights with skydivers and thirty minutes of reserve fuel. He further stated that during the second approach he had to adjust his intended flight path for other airplane traffic. Then, as the pilot decreased the pitch of the airplane on final approach, the engine sputtered and lost power. The pilot landed the airplane in a field; however, during the landing roll the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing spar. The pilot reported that the airplane experienced fuel starvation and that he did not maintain the required reserve. The pilot indicated that more fuel would have been his recommendation to avoid this accident.

Why can't he get hard when we are in bed?
Two days ago was the first time a I got this guy that I have been wanting for months into bed. He came over we talked, watched some movies on the pc. He straddled me and I straddled him, he picked me up and I am not a small or skinny girl at all. Then we got in bed and he fingered the heck out of me and nibbled on my nipples, yet when it came time for him to get inside me he kept going soft. He said he was a little tired so I let it go and just gave him head, even while I was giving him head he was still semi soft. then last night he came back over and after he studied a bit in my dorm, he got on the bed and ran his hands up my legs and started to fondle my breast, then suddenly he stripped me and started to finger me again, he brought me to orgasm I don't know how many times. We were going to have sex this time too but he kept saying that I talked to much and my voice (I have a cold) throws him off. So I gave him head again and this time he got hard a s a rock and came in my mouth. I don't know if he likes me the way that I like him because I really do like him. I just want to know why can't he get hard when its time to have sex or when he gets hard y can't he stay hard? I don't think its me because he says that he loves my body and that I'm cute...idk? What's wrong? Someone please tell me before I get too attached and end up getting hurt!
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
There is no one single cause for erectile dysfunction which makes it very hard to guess what the problem might be.Certainly how tired he is will play a role in it. Also, how healthy and physically active he is will either help or hurt the situation (healthier/move active = better). He may also have been nervous if this was the first time you had seen him naked and/or first time you two were going to have sex. I know that sounds weird, but guys can get nervous too. He might just need some time to warm up to you.Are you using protection (birth control, condoms, etc)? He could be worried about stds, pregnancy, etc if you aren't using anything.
What Guys Said 1
it's probably nerves. that's super common for guys their first few times with a new partner . . . probably won't be a big problem if you don't make a big deal of it. things SHOULD start working soon . . . just to bad that he was making excuses and blaming you. I'm sure he was just embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Still: not yer fault.
What Girls Said 2
Might just be nerves. Some guys have trouble maintaining an erection when they are nervous with a new partner. My boyfriend was like that the first few times, until he got comfortable with me. If the guy got hard in your mouth, then he can during sex as well. Give it some time before giving up.

The Boston Globe reports that: Doctors may have oversold the benefits of mammography and underplayed its risks, which has left many women unable to make an informed decision about whether or not to have regular breast cancer screenings beginning at age 40. That troubling finding is based on […]Read the rest of this entry »

The Obesity Paradox: Do overweight people live longer?
According to a study by Flegal and co-authors, the answer is yes. The study conducts a systematic review and meta-analysis and finds found that individuals who are overweight live longer than those who are healthy weighted.

Although AFib may cause no symptoms, it is often associated with symptoms such as palpitations, fainting, chest pain, or congestive heart failure. In some people, however, Afib is caused by otherwise idiopathic or benign conditions. AFib also increases the risk of stroke. If you […]Read the rest of this entry »

Nora Jane Struthers & The Party Line
Southgate House Revival, 111 E 6th St, Newport, KY
8pm doors, 8:30pm show, $10, Buy Tickets
Nora Jane Struthers will release 'Wake' on February 24, 2015, a powerful statement of her own rock-n-roll awakening. Backed by her band The Party Line, the "beguiling…guided by fire" (NPR's Ann Powers) Struthers mixes pedal steel with robust guitar riffs and her own fearless voice. The 11 original songs on 'Wake,' which Struthers self-produced, evoke the realization that she can, as she says, "reconcile my love of both bluegrass and Pearl Jam," and make sonic magic. NPR Music's The Record premiered lead track "The Same Road," praising its "propulsive direction" and saying the song "should make anyone excited to hear the whole [new album]." Listen here: http://shorefi.re/1t8mDhU

The Grownup Noise, Kim Taylor

MOTR Pub, 1345 Main St., Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati, Ohio; 513-381-6687
free, ages 21-up, 10pm
Since releasing their self-titled debut in 2007, Boston's The Grownup Noise has evolved into a rousing and innovative pop-music outfit, bridging the gap between americana and indie music. With lyrics written by guitarist/songwriter Paul Hansen and arrangements and instrumentation by the band as a whole, The Problem with Living in the Moment (out October 28th) came together easily despite being their most ambitious album to date.

The curtains were very nice, but unfortunately not quite what i was looking for. Having bought them online, I didnt realise how sparkly they were. I do enjoy wandering around the store, but only found them online. I was concerned that i was told to collect one set from Amsterdam Way, Norwich Airport estate, but was told instore that there is no Dunelm there and all 3 sets i had bought were with the rest of my order. Love Dunelm, always find something to buy.

Federal Emergency Management Agency officials say there's still a lot of people who don't know what assistance is available to them, so FEMA came to them, going door to door in communities devastated by last month's tornados'.
FEMA spokeswoman Patricia Brach says, "Call 1-800-621-FEMA, it's the only way to get into the system."
Once a person is registered they'll find several sources for help, including volunteer assistance to state and federal help.
This is how the FEMA disaster assistance works. First, call 1-800-621-FEMA. Once your registered, you'll be asked general information about income, insurance and damage to your residence and housing needs. A few days a FEMA inspector will make a visit and inspect the home. After that if you qualify you'll receive a check in the mail explaining how you may use the check for such things as rental assistance, repairs, sanitary to make the primary rooms habitable.
There's other programs available like the "Small Business Administration" loan. FEMA officials say anyone with tornado damage should call and register with FEMA just in case. Officials say many times people think their insurance covers more than it does and when disaster strikes they find out the insurance won't cover everything.
To call FEMA the number is: 1-800-621-FEMA

On Tuesday, Oct. 24, at a press conference outside the newly opened Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York Islanders owner Charles Wang announced that following the end of his lease at the Nassau Coliseum on July 31, 2015, his team, the Islanders, would be moving to the Barclays Center. This came as little surprise to most Islander fans that figured the teams days in Nassau were numbered after the vote failed last year.
A little background for those who may not be familiar with this seemingly never-ending saga that finally ended. Twenty years ago the Islanders made their first attempt at getting a new or refurbished Coliseum, that attempt obviously failed and here it started.
Earlier this year, AARP launched "You've Earned a Say," a national conversation about the future of Social Security and Medicare, to engage citizens in communities across the country. To date tens of thousands of New Yorkers shared their thoughts through surveys, community conversations, forums, teletown hall sessions and other activities.
Through this conversation, AARP is providing voters with balanced information about the pros and cons of Medicare and Social Security proposals that are being debated in Washington and on the campaign trail — minus the political jargon and spin.
Each year some of the most adorable, and some of the most spooky ghouls and goblins line the streets of Farmingdale for the annual Rag-A-Muffin parade. This year, the Breakfast Rotary will host the annual parade on Saturday, Oct. 27, assembling at noon at Northside Elementary School, proceeding down Main Street to the Village Green.
Kids of all ages will have the most fun showing off their Halloween costumes and having the chance to earn a prize for the several categories.
This weekend, I chaperoned a Girl Scout Troop to see Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns tour at Old Westbury Gardens where more than 5,000 carved pumpkins returned to Long Island for its annual display; the carving talents are unreal. The girls were most impressed with the commercial character carvings such as Angry Birds and the Disney princesses. The fathers who chaperoned were attracted to the sports team carvings, although everyone was in amazement at the "tribute" pumpkins, carved to honor the greats like Neil Armstrong, Lewis Carroll, Albert Einstein, and Whitney Houston. Others adored the scenic carvings like Coney Island, Statue of Liberty, the Montauk Lighthouse, and the Brooklyn Bridge.
Naturally though, we were all amazed to see the historic scenes of Girl Scouting carved in pumpkins set on special pedestals, such as the flag raising, cookie sales, and camping.
I am pleased to announce that New York Farm Bureau has recently named Assemblyman David McDonough to our annual "Circle of Friends" list. This legislative award is granted based upon his record of legislative support for New York agriculture and the Farm Bureau. New York Farm Bureau is a non-partisan organization and does not endorse elected officials or political candidates.
Assemblyman McDonough joins a number of other legislators in the Senate and Assembly that have a superior voting record on issues and have shown strong support for New York farming during the 2012 state legislative session. Each member of the Farm Bureau "Circle of Friends" has demonstrated an understanding of the important issues impacting farmers and the considerable impact the industry has on our economy and quality of life.
(Police Chief Charles Gennario of the Rockville Centre Police Department, is a member of the Nassau County Heroin Prevention Task Force and submitted this letter on behalf of the Task Force.)
Prescription drug abuse in the nation is at an unparalleled height and it's having a detrimental impact on our society. Nassau County is no different than the rest of the country and we are seeing ever-increasing abuse in our communities. It is affecting people of all ages, but is having the greatest impact on our youth.
As noted on the second page of this week's issue, the new deadline going forward for the Farmingdale Observer, as of next week's issue (Friday, Oct. 12), will be Thursdays at 4 p.m. for the following Friday's edition. This deadline is for all submissions: articles, photos, announcements, obituaries, calendar items and letters to the editor.
As always, please consider the deadline on Thursday to be a last-minute deadline, as we prefer to receive submissions earlier rather than later.
Historically, a service flag with a blue star was hung in the front window, or flown outside of a home when someone in the family was actively serving in World War I. If the soldier died while serving in France or elsewhere during WWI, the blue star was replaced with the gold star to indicate the family's loss. A gold star on a purple background banner is a symbol of a battlefield death.
I want to thank Anton News, and you for running the World War II Heroes contest and for choosing my essay as one of the finalists. Our family really appreciates your recognition of the World War II veterans and all that they sacrificed for our country. It was an honor to actually fly aboard a B-17. This experience was not only awesome, but will remain one of my most memorable. Thank you again.
Rose Wilson
On Saturday, Sept. 22 the Rose Garden at Eisenhower Park will be rededicated, as part of the Long Island Transplant Recipients International Organization's (LITRIO) annual ceremony to recognize and honor organ donors and donor families. The opening ceremony begins at noon near parking field 6 in the park.
I recently made the effort to check that little box on my driver's license to indicate that I am a willing participant in the organ donation program. It was simple and could enhance the quality of life for dozens. Thousands of people die each year waiting for vital organs. My gesture could also one day save a life. In addition, something that I have not done yet is also indicating my organ donation intentions in the language of my will.

Bureau of Indian Education
The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), headquartered in Washington, D.C. and formerly known as the Office of Indian Education Programs (OIEP), is a division of the U.S. Department of the Interior under the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs. It is responsible for the line direction and management of all BIE education functions, including the formation of policies and procedures, the supervision of all program activities, and the approval of the expenditure of funds appropriated for BIE education functions.[1]
The BIE school system has 184 elementary and secondary schools and dormitories located on 63 reservations in 23 states, including seven off-reservation boarding schools and 122 schools directly controlled by tribes and tribal school boards under contracts or grants with the BIE. The bureau also funds 66 residential programs for students at 52 boarding schools and at 14 dormitories housing those attending nearby tribal or public schools.[1]
In the area of postsecondary education, the BIE provides support to 24 tribal colleges and universities across the U.S. serving over 25,000 students, and directly operates two institutions of higher learning: Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas, and Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[2] The latter, however, lost accreditation in July 2010 and has been designated a "candidate" by the Higher Learning Commission.[3] Additionally, the BIE also operates higher education scholarship programs for American Indians and Alaska Natives.[1]

Visiting undergraduate and postgraduate students can research a wide range of integrated conservation and marine biology topics at our field sites in Madagascar and Belize.
"Beyond being a first-class conservation organisation, Blue Ventures is staffed and directed by true leaders in the marine sciences who have delivered a wealth of fundamental research on par with many academic institutions.
Blue Ventures is therefore poised to offer an outstanding education experience to undergraduates and postgraduates alike, who can rise to the challenge of good science."
Dr Sam Purkis - Professor, National Reef Institute, Nova Southeastern University
Past independent research projects have covered such diverse issues as the ecological monitoring of coral reefs and feasibility studies for community-based aquaculture development.
Blue Ventures do not offer financial support or funding for independent research projects, however, we can host undergraduate and postgraduate students at our field sites and offer an independent research package that includes project guidance and supervision, food and accommodation, site transfers, pastoral care while in the field, and comprehensive health and safety provision. Boat use, scuba diving and local guides can all be arranged at additional cost; please download the Independent Research Programme booklet and contact us for more information.
We suggest that undergraduate students choose a project that can utilise archived databases and is not dependent on new data collection due to the time constraints involved with undergradaute thesis projects. While we advise prospective researchers to choose from our list of project titles, we do also welcome applications from students with their own projects.
Independent Research programme fees
Four-week independent research package:
- £875 for food and accommodation at our site in Andavadoaka or Bacalar Chico Marine Reserve including transfers to/from Toliara or San Pedro/Sarteneja
- £95 bench fee for staff supervision and guidance
- Madagascar only - £185 for overland tour from Antananarivo to Toliara (optional)
Six-week independent research package

There can be no doubt ; getting a mortgage is a complex process. You wouldn't be visiting our website if you could fill out a one-page application and receive the best loan funded in one day. We do the heavy lifting for you, so you can concentrate on what's important — preparing to move into your new home or saving money.
There are four primary steps involved in obtaining a loan.
A couple of factors determine this amount. What kind of monthly payment are you looking for? And given your unique credit and employment history, income and debt, and goals, how much will a lender loan you? Use the calculators on our website to determine your monthly payment amount. We'll also help you through different scenarios by asking a few simple questions. Because lender guidelines are fairly standard, we can give you a good idea of how much you can borrow after a short conversation.
This step is where Bank of Eastern Oregon can begin to save you money. You will supply information about your employment, assets, and residence history. You'll supply information on your employment, asset, and residence history. We run your credit score and report. We will review this info then will give you a letter of pre-qualification.

Caroline County sheriff: Stop calling 911 to report Tamerlan Tsarnaev's burial

Raymond Pert: When a boy, I kept being told by kids older than I that there was no Santa. I'd wake up on Christmas morning and under the tree I'd find a baseball mitt or a farm set or a new space heater and this continued year after year … in high school, it'd be a study desk or a new pair of slacks and then I got older and older and my parents helped me with a down payment on the house I live in now and after last Christmas I have new books to read and dvd's to watch. … There's definitely a Santa Claus. Still, in my middle age, people still ask me, "Was Santa good to you?" and I say, "Yes, he certainly was." I never say, "Oh, there's no Santa." I always try to tell the truth.
DFO: Well done.

Re: Big Brother US 14 **DO NOT POST SPOILERS**
if production actually cared about drama they would have led brit to question dani and blow up her fake bad blood w/ dan. but the show is almost over and i don't they care. they also have the habit of calling people to DR when fights are about to go down and people come out clam.
i know how jeff can be, but he was still more liked. frank is mostly hated by the live feed watchers.
ian came out numerous times this week that the dr didn't want him to use the veto and that they wanted him and brit to work w/ dan. ashley on week 1 was willing to vote kara to stay, even after the blow ups, but she went in a DR for about her and came out and changed her mind. when shane was about to nominate froogie they kept asking him if he was sure and he came out unsure. dr clued dan in on frank possibly backdooring him.
BB13 reintroducing the teams and having that veto that saved rachel and jordan was blatant. they also manipulate competitions to their needs that favor certain players.
joe is actually the most aware player in the house. he's the only one that considered that dani and dan was stunt but he told the people who had their best interest in keeping the fake fight going.
frank position is kind of bad. if it's endurance you can write joe off, you can probably write jenn off. dan might win it, but he honestly has no reason to. ian needs the HOH and shane is willing to throw it to him and dani. dan is only fucked if brit stays and even then brit hates franks more.
if frank made to the f2 w/ dan then frank is in danger of losing. he'll lose 3 votes, he thinks he'll have the second ever 7-0 sweep. joe votes with shane and shane might just vote dan which gets him joe votes. brit and ian would work on shane to give dan the vote. if the quack pack votes together than frank loses.

Details About the Law Aporte Familiar Permanente
Michelle Bachelet signed the Bill of Law Aporte Familiar Permanente de Marzo on March 13, here are the details about who can benefit of this law.
SANTIAGO — The discussion of this project began last Wednesday by the Finance commission in the Congress. But the question is who will benefit from it? According to the design of the project presented by the President, these are the requirements to gain CLP $40,000:
1. Family Credit: those who are eligible for this benefit established by the law No. 18.020 on Dec. 31, 2013, will receive CLP $ 40,000 for each household allowance.
2. Family or Maternal Assignment: those who perceived have an income at or below the maximum limit laid down in Article 1 of the Law No. 18,987 (to CLP $ 501,978) since last Dec. 31. In this case, the family contribution will be CLP $40,000.
3. Subsystem of"Securities and Opportunities": Persons or families that since Dec. 31 were users, where the family contribution will be $ 40,000 for each family.
4. Subsystem "Chile Solidario": people who have been in this program since Dec. 31, 2013, will receive $ 40,000 for each family.
In the cases of options three and four, people who will receive this benefit are not beneficiaries of any other subsidies or aforementioned allowances.
There is also another aspect to consider, the priority for mothers. If there are multiple beneficiaries, it provides that "the bond should always be preferred to the mother," having the obligation to deliver the lifelong family contribution to the family member who is receiving the maternal or family allowances.

SEATTLE — The Sox have a do-it-yourself project to start working on when they get home Monday night.
Instructions? Beat the Twins and Tigers and whatever you do, don't ask for help.
"We have some hopes,'' manager Ozzie Guillen said of trying to catch the American League-leading Tigers over the final 31 games.
"The thing is there. We don't have to wait for someone else to beat them to take the place. We can do it ourselves. Hopefully we are thinking that way.''
The Tigers have a six-game lead despite their 14-7 record the last three weeks.
"We have to win the most series we can,'' Guillen said. "We can't say we have to sweep Minnesota and Detroit and Cleveland. It sounds nice, but it's not realistic. Try to get two out of three and hopefully at the end of the day you are close and have a big punch. It's going to at least be fun going [to Detroit] and fight for something.''
21 scoreless
Josh Bard's home run off the right-field foul pole in the eighth inning against right-hander Gavin Floyd (12-10) snapped a streak of 21 scoreless innings for Sox pitchers.
John Danks, who pitched a three-hit shutout with 10 strikeouts against Seattle on Saturday, was the first Sox since Alex Fernandez vs. Milwaukee in 1994 to throw a shutout with at least 10 strikeouts. Danks (6-9) is 6-1 with a 2.03 ERA in his last 11 starts.
Better for Beckham
Gordon Beckham (.235) has not let his struggles at the plate affect his defense. He made exceptional plays on consecutive grounders hit to his left in the fifth, the first robbing Brendan Ryan on an in-between hop.
Better yet for the second baseman, he had two hard hits, including a deep double.
"One of the first times I've felt really good on three different swings in a game this year,'' Beckham said. "Nice to have that feeling. Maybe it's the start of something.''
Catcher Tyler Flowers' grand slam in the Sox' six-run sixth was the first of his career and the team's first since Paul Konerko hit one last September
"It was nice to give Gavin a cushion so he can cruise through the rest of the game,'' Flowers said.
◆ Konerko (calf) is close to playing first base again.
"We try to get him back on the field Tuesday,'' Guillen said. "He bounce around pretty good [Saturday]. He is not going to go there just because. When he's ready, we play him there.''

Oakdale Chamber Golf Classic
(Monday, September 8, 2014)
Oakdale Chamber of Commerce hosted a new event; a golf tournament at the Oakdale Golf & Country Club on Monday, September 8th.
This was a great networking event between Oakdale Chamber members and Oakdale businesses. The tournament gave companies chance to reward favorite clients, market to potential customers and support Chamber initiatives to strengthen the economic vitality of Oakdale.
As an added bonus, the Chamber of Commerce broke businesses in the region into various sectors for some competitive fun; called the Challenge Cup. We will establish an annual legacy of who the best golf team is by sector.

Agribusiness: Yosemite Farm Credit
Finance: Oak Valley Community Bank
