I'd like to thank Amy Butler for sponsoring this contest, and for all of the wonderful entries, it was inspiring for me to see all the designs of so many talented readers of this blog. :)
And since we all love surprises… I have a few extra patterns that I'd like to give away. I'll randomly select a few winners based on your replies to this post. Here's the topic: "What makes a house a home". You can go as deep as you'd like on this one. I really want to hear some unique perspectives on this, so if you'd like to take part, please comment below. This contest will only run for today ONLY. Since I'll be away from my desk until tonight, none of the responses will be shown below until after 6pm EST. I think this keeps it fair, as no one can peek at the comments of others for "help" on this. :) Your comment below will be approved and posted on the blog after 6pm. I'll reveal the winners in the comments section tomorrow, Saturday, June 23rd. Have fun.

Click Here to vote for your FOUR faves!
This is the last entry! Well, the last one that I will post. There are many more, but some of the links were dead, images not sharp enough or too small, not enough information, etc. We need to get back to the regularly scheduled program here on decor8, so the next post about this contest will contain a link that will take you to a short survey where you'll be asked to vote for your favorite four. Wrapping up this contest today is a lakeside retreat from Vermont-based Rachel Stewart that looks like absolute getaway perfection to me.
Name: Rachel Stewart
Occupation: Color Designer/Graphic Designer
Location: Vermont
Theme: Green Mountain Lakeside Retreat
Inspiration: Lately I am OBSESSED with homes, floorplans, furniture, decorating etc. I knew immediately what I wanted to create for this mood board: my dream lake house using Lake Champlain and Vermont as my inspiration. Every night I come down the stairs at work and see the beautiful blue green sky and the mountains across the lovely lake. What a dream to have a home on the lake and be able to see that view everyday. Since moving here to Vermont I have noticed my taste change as I am inspired by new cultures and people. It is very earthy and natural here. People are more aware of the environment and willing to change their life styles even if it means that they are maybe not as comfortable (like riding a bike in the rain or paying more for organic heathly local produce). I love the "hippy" styles that the girls sport and the outdoor lifestyle of everyone. I have to admit it is not really me though, so I decided to create the board with a style that would fit in Vermont and still have my personality. Hope it inspires others as well! Thanks Amy Butler for motivating me to be creative and decor8 for pulling it together.
Thank you for entering the decor8/Amy Butler mood board contest, Rachel.
Okay everyone – time to start voting… Get ready, I'll post the survey monkey link soon!

Quote of the Day
"I know we live in an age of fifteen-second sound bites, and that movies are a medium of mass entertainment. So perhaps this is what the public wants; perhaps we the people deserve no more. I do not believe this pessimistic and cynical judgment. I acknowledge the obvious fact that mass markets will accept and embrace pap when offered nothing else. But complex films of genuine merit can also be great commercial successes."
—Stephen Jay Gould, reviewing the godawful Arthur Hiller film, "The Babe," starring John Goodman, in "Triumph and Tragedy in Mudville."

Ted Nugent On New Bands: Jack White Lacks Soul, Black Keys Need Him on Guitar
Nugent has listened to a pair of today's hottest acts, he has some suggestions.
Nugent has listened to a pair of today's hottest acts, he has some suggestions.
The Black Keys have released the second single, title track and track listing for 'Turn Blue.'
The Black Keys have released the first single off their upcoming eight album, 'Turn Blue.' You can listen to the bass-heavy 'Fever' above.
The Akron rockers will release 'Turn Blue' on May 13.
Looks like not everybody had as much fun attending Van Halen's current tour as we did. Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney said he didn't enjoy himself "at all" when he attended one of the legendary group's shows, and went on to question why Van Halen were performing without their original bassist.
One of the most highly anticipated concerts of the summer is here tonight. The Black Keys are an American blues rock duo based out of Akron, Ohio. They are on tour promoting their 6th studio album Brothers released in 2010.

Back in June, we learned that part of Radio Shack's turnaround plan is to start in-store repair counters for mobile devices as a bid for relevance and an attempt to offer at least one thing that no other retailer does. However, the credit-rating agency Moody's doesn't think that Radio Shack has enough cash to make it through 2015, let alone turn itself around by then. [More]
Radio Shack Wants To Fix Your Phone, Its Business Model
We've followed Radio Shack's ongoing quest for relevance here at Consumerist for most of the last decade. A focus on mobile gadgets hasn't helped, since mobile phones and plans are sold almost everywhere. The company's second-quarter results show that its funny Super Bowl ads didn't help, either. What can Radio Shack offer that no one else has? [More]
Radio Shack Issues Vouchers After Class Action Settlement, Won't Let Me Use Them
Diane received a merchandise voucher from Radio Shack as part of a class action settlement. It has the very nice feature of being usable on "any merchandise" in the store, but in this case "any merchandise" means "anything in the store except for that thing you wanted to buy." [More]
Radio Shack Kiosk Worker Screws Up, Gets Our Phone Insurance Canceled
What happens when you do the responsible thing and buy insurance for your shiny and expensive new smartphone, but the insurance gets canceled because of an error that wasn't yours? Well…Bill and his girlfriend aren't sure. When the employee at a Radio Shack kiosk at their local Target billed a Mastercard gift card instead of their credit card or phone bill, the insurance got canceled early on. Three months in. Then, of course, his girlfriend dropped the phone. [More]
Is RadioShack Preparing To Enter The Wireless Provider Arena?
RadioShack might be making a move from the place you go to buy batteries and maybe sign up with a major wireless carrier for a phone plan, to the place where it is the actual wireless carrier. Leaked documents circulating the document seem to indicate that the company is teaming up with Cricket Wireless to become a no-contract mobile virtual network operator. [More]
Protection Plan Protects Radio Shack From Replacing Your Keyboard
Thomas got a good deal on a wireless keyboard and mouse at Radio Shack, and also went ahead and bought the warranty and replacement plan. The plan that lasts for one year. Six months later, the item wouldn't work. So just drop it in the mail or take it back to the store where it was purchased for a replacement, right? Not so fast. The Shack was determined that he wasn't going to bring home a replacement keyboard on their dime. [More]

The rebate card was supposed to show up within two weeks. Six months later, he's still waiting on that gift card, and he hasn't exactly been sitting around twiddling his thumbs and waiting for Target to mail it. Finally, at the 6-month mark, he decided to take his dissatisfaction to the very tippity top, writing to Target's CEO. [More]
Best Buy's Genius Plan For The Future Is To Become RadioShack

Call This Radio Shack Salesman On His Crap, And He'll Call Security On You
Eric writes that he wanted to upgrade the phone that he uses on his T-Mobile prepaid plan. He decided on a T-Mobile Comet, and found a great price on it at Radio Shack. The crack sales team at The Shack had the phone in stock, and would be very happy to sell it to him along with a two-year contract. This being the reason why Eric has a prepaid plan, he declined.
The salesman insisted that this was a policy that came straight from the district manager, and "called" to confirm it. When Eric asked for the manager's number so he could discuss the problem himself, the manager turned out to be a fax machine. When Eric insisted on being given the real number, that's when the salesman threatened to call mall security.

ST. HENRY — Someone asked Matt Bradley how he was doing Saturday night.
"I'm not sure how to answer that," said the Wapakoneta Redskins varsity boys basketball coach.
Bradley had just watched his squad come up just short in a close game against a strong opponent for the second night in a row.
On Friday, Wapak's late rally came just a little too late as the Redskins fell to the undefeated, Western Buckeye League-favorite Elida Bulldogs, 46-41.

For deputies, police officers and troopers, they pursue a career in law enforcement to protect and to serve — those duties are not always isolated to stopping law breakers.
For a group of 55 members of law enforcement from police officers to dispatchers, from probation officers to victim's advocates, they felt it was important to help make Christmas for 103 families more enjoyable and to bring smiles to children's faces.
Cost-of-service studies on utility rates charged to Wapakoneta consumers should help city elected officials determine future increases to deal with higher costs of business and mandated projects.
Wapakoneta City Council Councilor-at-large Steve Walter, who also chairs the Utility Committee, told city administrators he would like to have rate studies completed on water, wastewater, electric and refuse to help his committee set future rates.

Named Scholars Program
With a gift of $5,000 to the Bates Fund, you can create a Named Scholarship: a need-based scholarship grant, in your name or the name of a loved one, to a Bates student.
- Your gift provides need-based scholarship assistance, in your name or the name of a loved one, for a student in the current academic year.
- You will receive an activity report about your scholarship recipient.
- Donors typically receive correspondence from their Named Scholar and often have the opportunity to meet their student at a campus event.
- Your gift of a Named Scholar grants you membership in the Mount David Society, the special organization of Bates Fund leadership donors.
Meet some of our Named Scholar donors and their recipients:
Jennifer & Danielle
Jennifer Guckel Porter '88
Trustee, Belmont, Mass.
Ellis W. Cole Scholarship
"I want current students to have the same opportunities that I had. I want them to stretch themselves and grow, and I want them to understand the lifelong connection to Bates. Bates is a very special, rigorous and engaging community. Any student who has the ability to contribute to this community should have the chance to do so, regardless of financial circumstances."
Danielle Munoz '15
Bedford, New Hampshire
"The student body and faculty at Bates have made me feel welcome and capable of achieving great things. Thanks to Named Scholars, I will leave Bates with a phenomenal education, little debt and a bright future."
Geri & Graeme
Geri FitzGerald '75
Trustee, New York, NY.
Donson E. FitzGerald and Elizabeth Parke FitzGerald Scholar
"While I graduated in 1975, I think of myself as a citizen of all generations at Bates. Named Scholars and the one-to-one relationship between donor and student connect me to the college now and across the decades. We all think about legacy. Helping today's students have the opportunity to explore their potential and building a meaningful life is mine."
Graeme Welds '15
Kingston, Jamaica
"It's difficult to quantify the impact of financial aid for me because, in a sense, it's everything. The fact that I'm here; that I experienced snow for the first time; that I get to take classes with amazing professors; that I studied abroad — it's all made possible by the scholarship. It's defined my Bates experience just by allowing it to happen."
Gretchen, Jerry & Ben
Gretchen and Charles "Jerry" Davis '61
Alumni Council, Topsham, Maine
Charles G. Davis '61 and Gretchen Shorter Davis '61 Scholar
"We believe strongly in the power of a Bates education and have supported the college financially since graduating in 1961. Names Scholars lets us contribute to the educational mission of the college by ensuring that any talented student has the opportunity to come to Bates. In turn, we hope our students make the most of all Bates has to offer and discover the importance of giving back to this wonderful community."
Ben Claeson '15
Bangor, ME
"As a student from Maine, I feel fortunate to be able to attend such an academically excellent school while remaining close to family. Bates' welcoming spirit and extracurricular opportunities like the Brooks Quimby Debate Council have given me the confidence to fully participate in the intellectual community here."

The Forum of Commissioners of Finance of the 36 states of the federation on Thursday in Abuja passed a resolution for the removal of fuel subsidy.
The Chairman of the forum, Mr. Timothy Odaah, told journalists shortly after this month's Federation Account Allocation Committee's meeting, that the resolution was passed following irregularities observed in the fuel subsidy regime.
The forum passed the resolution just as fuel scarcity that started last week spread in the Federal Capital Territory, with many motorists queuing for hours at filling stations.
The FAAC meeting, which was chaired by the Accountant-General of the Federation, Mr. Jonah Otunla, was convened to consider and approve the statutory allocations for February.
Odaah, who is also the Commissioner of Finance, Ebonyi State, said the resolution on the fuel subsidy regime would be sent to the Nigerian Governors' Forum for transmission to President Goodluck Jonathan.
He described the payment of fuel subsidy as a scam against some states, especially the less industrialised ones, as it had made "the rich to become richer, while the poor are becoming poorer."
He argued that if Nigerians had not protested against the removal of fuel subsidy in January 2012, most states would have experienced significant level of development by now.
The Federal Government has a budget of N971.1bn for fuel subsidy payment in the 2014 fiscal year, same as in 2013.
Odaah, said, "We looked at subsidy on oil as more or less a solution worse than the problem it is meant to solve.
"Looking at it presently, you will discover that it is not solving the problem, which it is meant to solve. In the first place, the NLC (Nigeria Labour Congress) and the majority of the Nigerian populace appear to have been deceived into clamouring for subsidy.
"It is a system that robs Peter to pay Paul by making the rich to grow richer and the poor to go poorer.
"There are some states that are fully industrialised and you use this subsidy in that particular place and the people who benefit more are those from the states that are industrialised."
Odaah added, "The fuel consumption of those industries uses more of the fuel subsidy unlike the states that are under-industrialised.
"So, what we are advocating is that the subsidy be removed so that every state or any member of the federating unit sharing from FAAC will take his own money, then decide to use it or grant subsidy in a level that it will be able to afford."
The forum also accused oil marketers of taking advantage of the subsidy regime to engage in sharp practices, noting that the payment of subsidy was exerting immense pressure on the Excess Crude Account.
Odaah said if the issue was not urgently addressed, it would get to a point where the states would have nothing to share from the Federation Account as their allocations would be wiped out by subsidy claims.
He added, "If you also look at the oil marketers, they are also not showing the intention of the Federal Government because it has created a very big market for them in certain ways because transparency is not coming up.
"There are some people who are eating on the subsidy to the disadvantage of others. It is because of that that we passed a resolution at FAAC because many states are crumbling as subsidy payment has eaten so much into the crude reserves."
Odaah also said the forum frowned on the decision of the Central Bank of Nigeria to withdraw 75 per cent of public sector funds from Deposit Money Banks, noting that this had made it difficult for the states to access loans at low interest rates.
As a result of this development, he said the forum called on the Federal Government to reverse the policy to enable states and local governments to raise funds for developmental purposes.
He said, "As of today, 75 per cent of the public sector deposits is taken into the central bank. This is a deliberate creation of scarcity of funds because states and local governments cannot borrow money because the interest rate has gone so high.
"There is a plan by the CBN to raise it to 100 per cent. If that is done; then, we will be having absolute scarcity of funds created by a manipulated means.
"So, we are calling on the Federal Government to look at it and review it by bringing it down so that cash will be available because the cost of funds is growing too high and with that, states cannot meet up."
But Otunla, who also addressed journalists shortly after the meeting, said a 12-man committee had been set up to assess the impact of the fuel subsidy regime.
The committee, to be made up of six representatives each of the states' commissioners of finance and accountants-general, has one month to submit its report.
"We discussed the issue of subsidy and we have set up a 12-man committee comprising six members from the commissioners' forum and six members from the Accountants-General Forum to help us review the impact of subsidy on the Federation Account," he said.
Otunla said FAAC shared the sum of N641.29bn to the three tiers of government as statutory allocation for February.
He said during the month, the gross revenue of N666.75bn was received, which was N125.87bn higher than the N540.87bn received in January.
He said while an exceptional payment of N82bn was made by the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, which helped to boost revenue for the month and that the committee transferred the sum of $1bn to the Excess Crude Account.
This brings the balance in the ECA to $3.5bn.
When contacted, the acting General Secretary, Nigeria Labour Congress, Mr. Chris Uyot, said the union had not changed its decision to resist any ploy to increase fuel price through subsidy removal.
"We have a position on that; nothing has changed," he said.
In a communiqué issued after the March 6 emergency meeting of its Central Working Committee, the NLC described the current fuel scarcity as "a cruel conspiracy" between the Federal Government and the marketers "to impose hardship and trauma on the poor and hapless Nigerians with a view to ostensibly increasing fuel prices".

- Amazing food and viewsjonesdljsfVIPDined on 11/23/2014Had heard a lot about Greens the past few years, but had never been there before. It's often too busy on the weekends to get in. However, we made a reservation and tried it this past weekend. It was worth the wait! The menu is very unique with combinations of items you wouldn't normally think of, but they really great. I did the poached egg items with squash, etc and it was terrific. Other's at the table tried the pupusa and that were excellent, as well. Highly recommend that you have to try this place and doing it on Sunday with the Farmers Market right outside the door is a perfect combination.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ambience, but mediocre foodDannyCVIPDined on 11/20/2014Took my parents here from out of town. Service was great, however, we were very underwhelmed with the seasoning of all the food we ate. The butternut squash pizza really didn't taste like anything. A touch of seasoning would have gone a long way. Everything else we ate was just meh. We did love the ambience though. Just would love to see the food taste elevated. Quality of food seemed great, just missing something special in the kitchen.Special Features:
- Wonderful VEGAN food.AnoelllDined on 11/18/2014Wonderful VEGAN food. One of my very favorite restaurants. I feel that I am eating very healthfully when I am there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DissapointedNat1234VIPDined on 11/16/2014I had come here some years ago and looks like the restaurant has gone downhill. We were waiting for about 5 minutes before we had anyone come to the table to greet us and offer us drinks. The food was mediocre and the presentation of the red curry dish was not impressive.Special Features:
- Scenic Green'sFioriDined on 11/16/2014A very good brunch made with the best organic ingredients. Combined with the beautiful view, Green's is always a good choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Would like to KvellGMOGottagoDined on 11/15/2014I would so like to recommend this beautiful restaurant with even more enthusiasm than I felt after eating there. Dreamily located the SF Fort Mason pier, it was conveniently near the Greens Festival where my husband, a food safety attorney, gave a talk on Nov 16th. Greens tries very hard, and in many ways excels, at being the health food diner's safe spot for healthful cuisine. The menu choices are creative, the wait staff is excellent, and it is such a lovely space in which to dine. We enjoyed the food we ate. Not much in the way of gluten free desserts, mind you! Yet, it seems to be a little vague about its commitment to being organic/GMO free. Why, for instance, does the online menu not actually say that the food is organic, yet the website 'About Greens' section boasts that its produce is sourced from an organic farm. Why did our very nice waiter have to ask the kitchen about the oils used? Why did we have to ask him what was organic? Should this info not just be common knowledge restaurant wide. Better yet, could this restaurant not be more bold, and perhaps more consistent (if needed) about being GMO-free and organic and make me, and other health foodies of my kind, completely trust Greens as a restaurant most worthy of its name?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Has service has gone down hill and the food.OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/15/2014Server was ditsy, came to our table to verify our order twice. Long wait, 40 minutes for food. Sat at 1pm. Server seemed confused. Kitchen slow.Special Features:
- No parking, overpriced, didn't love the food.DebCDined on 11/15/2014There was a huge event or two at Ft Mason and a beautiful day in SF so the whole world was at Crissy Field etc. Searched for parking for over 45 minutes w/ my party waiting for me stressed out in the restaurant. Finally took the food to go. They were very worried about it at the restaurant. And it was 1/2 empty because ppl couldn't park. We came in from Marin and didn't have time for bus not did we know it would be impossible to park. We took the food and sat in a windy, cold park and ate. I didn't really like mine and my son was hungry still after. They were kind enough to give us a dessert but to one we liked. I've eaten at Greens off and on over the years and it's one of my guests favorites, but I can't really recommend it. I called to see if we could move the time back 15 mins earlier in the morning and that would have been a great time to tell us parking was going to be impossible and I could have parked in a garage and walked over etc. Need to coordinate w/ Ft Mason and let ppl know to take transit and plan when the whole venue is going to be sold out. Also lovely SF has sold a bunch of spots as permitted parking only now where you used to be able to park at the Marina and Crissy Field which were mostly empty. This is all not really Green's fault but still, bad experience. And Green's is over priced for what you get. The one thing that was to die for was the pizza w/ squash etc.
- A vegetarian superstarVegangourmandiserDined on 11/11/2014The best vegan and vegetarian food I've eaten in the USA, and, almost, the world! Excellent vegan choices, well balanced, yet intriguing flavors, with a uniquely South American twist.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Greens Always PleasesMizKatzVIPDined on 11/11/2014NOTE: Very peaceful & quiet this survey didn't allow that to be noted. I take every opportunity to dine at Greens. The food and service are tops, as usual. My sister & I shared an order of pupusas -- !!excellent!! -- and since there were two of us and the pupusas are silver-dollar size, it would have been nice if one order had been for 4 instead of just 3...they were THAT good! I had the divine!! goat cheese & butternut squash pizza. I forgot that there were walnuts on it, so failed to ask for them to be left out of the composition. My sister had the broccoli soup and a side of polenta. We shared the snickerdoodle ice cream sandwich...perfect end to a satisfying meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner before Magic TheatreFoodieinvernessDined on 11/11/2014This s a great place to come for dinner before going to the Magic Theatre. The food is always top notch and the service excellent. Nice variety on the wine list. The meyer lemon ice cream sandwich was truly memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Vegetarian FareOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/11/2014Excellent gourmet vegetarian food. It is a pleasure to not have to peruse a menu looking for the vegetarian options! The view is spectacular and the noise level enables conversation.Special Features:
- Greens, as good as ever!AlanVIPDined on 11/9/2014Hadn't been in a number of years, but it was as good as ever, and the food was as creative as ever...! We simply love the creative way food is created and presented here. And the service was most attentive and thoughtful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still a winnerOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 11/9/2014Hadn't been to Green's in a decade and was pleased to find the food still excellent and the atmosphere still fun.Special Features:
- Good but not greatPrashanthVIPDined on 11/9/2014Great location, but food was ok, we are vegetatarians and so was great that we could eat anything on the menu. Felt healthy, but portions were small and taste was just ok,and nothing creative. Now I can say been there done that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Favorite Brunch SpotReenaVIPDined on 11/9/2014One of my favorite restaurants. I like the setting and the food speaks more for itself than review than I can write. Every single time I come here with friends or family, I always (every single time) have fantastic food that is creative and flavorful. Often we associate vegetarian restaurants with lacking something, meat, flavor, etc. but when you dine at greens, you feel full, happy, and healthy and I'm not even vegetarian. Great place to eat!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/9/2014Wonderful experience. Gracious, friendly service. Lovely environment. Food was delicious!
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/9/2014Beautiful view and yummy food BUT had to wait a whole hour for our food for a table of two!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable Dining Every TimeJaelDined on 11/9/2014We love the consistently great food and variety of options on the menu. Location is beautiful and you can enjoy a great walk before and/or after your meal. Good for couples, families or groups and kids willingly eat their vegetables!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great veggie food, lovely ambienceFluffychuffyDined on 11/8/2014We had a delicious dinner at Greens on a Saturday evening - really good 4 course menu - nibbles to start - olives, bread and cheese then a choice of starters, mains and puddings - all which sounded delicious. There was a really good selection and some really inventive cooking - I cant praise it highly enough. Also matched wines, which we didn't have, if you want and a few cocktails, beers and soft drinks - all which were lovely. My partner asked for a beer and one was duly recommended, and was exactly what my partner wanted - I had a prosecco - very dry and cold - prefect. The ambience is great as it is soft candle light and a lovely view out to the water so perfect for romance or a group of friends - just a great relaxed atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SharonVIPDined on 11/8/2014The delicata squash entree with Indian spices was fabulous as was the raspberry-ginger tart dessert. I thought the Pre-fixe menu, however, was overpriced at $58. Adding one glass of wine each, tip, and gratuity our dinner for two was $184.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Even non-vegetarians will love itCaliDadDined on 11/8/2014Fantastic meal! Had the soup and quinoa app. Both excellent. Entree was mushroom ravioli and Mexican squash. Very flavorful and filling. Flour less chocolate torte was the perfect finish. Will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- My favoritehungreythanksDined on 11/5/2014Still one of my favorite places to eat after all theses years.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedSlowPokeDined on 11/4/2014Having been a customer of Green's for many years, this visit I felt the food, overall, uninspired. I hated the pile of tasteless grains with my dry Brochettes meal, and the slaw was way too spicy for me. The grains/slaw part of the plate wasn't attractive in any way. A friend ordered the linguini, and thought it was tasteless. Another friend ordered the pizza. She shared it with me, and that salvaged the entrée portion of the meal for me. I loved that pizza. We ordered 2 desserts to share, and our server was wonderful about making the cookie substitution I requested. ... An old-friends' get-together, we were not hurried at all by Green's staff.Special Features:
- Always amazing.AurosDined on 11/2/2014Excellent meal, not that I'd expect any different. The cauliflower-quinoa griddle cakes (appetizer) were a highlight. Desserts were excellent, too.Special Features:
- Vegans rejoiceFranklySpeaking94556Dined on 11/2/2014this remains the premier restaurant with those maintain a vegetarian diet. Food is terrific and the atmosphere unprecedented. We brought guests from New York City who were a couple not easily impressed. After dinner, they rave about our choice of restaurants. There's always something on the menu for the carnivores so no complaints here. A wonderful dining experience after nearly 20 years since our last visit. Amazing that the restaurant has maintained its style and excellence throughout. A San Francisco treasure for sure!
- Disappointing given reputationgourmetgrannyDined on 11/1/2014I had never been to Greens but certainly knew its reputation as one of the first great vegetarian restaurants. This was a special occasion meal for my guest's birthday. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. That was the last prompt interaction of the evening. The room was not crowded for a Saturday but there was a large party in the back room and that may have had something to do with the generally slow service. We were in no hurry and really didn't mind the wait but did feel neglected. The dishes were from the prix fixe menu. While the ingredients showed imaginative combinations not everything worked that well. The pears in my salad were unpleasantly mushy. My squash curry entree was bland. I've had better at MillenniumSpecial Features:
- Out of state guest with guestsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/1/2014Everything was outstanding and the view was incredible. Would definitely make a point of going there when we are in town again!Special Features:
- Still the greatestLouisJaffeDined on 11/1/2014Greens remains a true original. The food and ambiance under chef Annie Somerville have been remarkably consistent for decades. I've been a satisfied client for 25 years.Special Features:
- OutstandingrhintonDined on 10/31/2014Been going for years and sometimes like the food better than others. This time it was outstanding: fresh, flavorful, interesting combinations and all vegetarian. Service was warm, friendly and knowledgable. We wanted to linger and it was fine with them.Special Features:
- Always excellentBertDined on 10/30/2014Been there many times. It's our go to place when showing friends the Bay Area. This time we rented bikes at Fishermans wharf and stopped at Greens on our way to the GG Bridge. It's excellent vegetarian food,but carnivores are always equally impressed, beautiful view, hip vibe.Special Features:
- Anniversary dinnerEeekDined on 10/26/2014My husband and I hardly make it up to the Marina, but made a special trip to Greens for our Anniversary. We waited a few minutes for a window seat to become available. The spectacular view of the Golden Gate Bridge and surroundings was well worth the wait. Dinner was delicious. The service was great. They even brought us vegan (for me) and non-vegan (for him) desserts on the house in honor of our special night. It was a wonderful night. I hope to repeat it next year. Or sooner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Scenic viewLLlove2dineDined on 10/26/2014Great scenic view and good service. Food was fabulous. Tasty and well prepared.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great restaurantMarieDined on 10/26/2014Excellent choice! Was fantastically delicious, service was Great and the atmosphere was comfortable. Most of all the food choices were so wonderful and the dishes we tried were all so delicious and for the most part, a healthy delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overpriced set menu for dinnerkim2014VIPDined on 10/25/2014To my surprise they have a 4 course set menu for dinner, no other options. 60 dollars for what is really a good lunch or normal dinner. First course is bread and olives, that is not what i would call a seperate course. Food was fine but very overpriced! I wont be back for these prices...Special Features:

Collective Identity
Collective identity is generally acknowledged as a major catalyst for change throughout history. The concept refers to the component of one's identity held in common with a larger group. It manifests as a shared feeling of "we" or "groupness," and often coalesces around common social or political objectives. These common goals derive in part from the group's shared sense of identity, and also contribute, in circular fashion, to binding and reinforcing the group's sense of solidarity and collective identity. This mutual reinforcement between identity and goals may help explain the tremendous transformative power collective identity has historically produced.
Examples of social and political movements in the twentieth century that derived much of their power from collective identity include movements as ideologically diverse as: the Bolshevik revolution; the rise of Nazi and Imperial Japanese fascism; the numerous post-World War II movements for colonial independence; the civil rights, second wave feminist, and gay pride movements in the United States; the growth of the Japanese industrial economy from the 1960s through the late 80s; and the multiple and various movements involved in the conflicts in the Middle East throughout the twentieth century, and especially since WWII. The diversity of these examples demonstrates that collective identity may coalesce around many different factors or combination of factors, including class, race, ethnicity, indigenous connection to the land, common position as subjects of oppression, gender, sexual orientation, national pride, or religion. In addition to these factors, specific ideas and goals are often intrinsic to any given collective identity. For example, ideas and goals usually serve as the basis for the collective action of NGOs or international charity organizations, whose members may then begin to identify as a collective through their shared sense of purpose in realizing the ideas and goals of the organization's mission.
Although its conceptual origins trace back to Marx and Durkheim in the nineteenth century, collective identity as a concept for theorizing social and political movements only began to gain serious momentum fairly recently. This momentum is great, however, generating an enormous volume of research in the past several decades in academic fields as diverse as sociology, history, international relations, philosophy, law, and literary studies.
Collective identity differs in important ways from two other kinds of identity — individual and social. Individual identity is self-identified; it is what is identified by use of the word "I." It is generally comprised of individual traits unique to the self, such as physical appearance and attributes, personality, conscious and unconscious wants and desires, and personal experience and history. Social identity, by contrast, is comprised of the categories and roles that come from the society to which one is born. While individual identity is self-determined, social identity is other-determined — it is embodied in the other's use of the word "you." Social identity is tied to many factors that arise from the interactions of individuals in a society, such as class standing, family or clan history, employment, and reputation.
In post-enlightenment Western culture, individual identity is often thought of as a source of authenticity — it is perceived as something essential to the self, and in some sense "truer" and more authentic than one's social identity. Some thinkers, such as Frantz Fanon and Charles Taylor, argue that individuals often internalize their imposed social identities, mistaking "inauthentic" social identity for "authentic" and intrinsic individual identity. This misrecognition results in harmful oppression when the individuals in question internalize demeaning self-images. Fanon in particular exposes this psychological mechanism as an important strategy of the colonizer to subjugate indigenous populations. Collective identity has proven a useful counter to this imperial strategy, for it provides a basis for rejecting the demeaning self-images deployed by the colonizer, and replacing them with more positive and affirming images, leading to greater agency and autonomy for the colonized peoples.
If the self proclaims individual identity when it says "I," and society dispenses social identity when it pronounces "you," then the group claims collective identity when it announces "we." Like social identity, and unlike individual identity, collective identity derives from the individual's relationship to others in a larger community. Unlike its social counterpart, however, collective identity shares with individual identity a sense of autonomy and self-direction. It is not imposed by an extrinsic society, but is instead self-identified by the individuals themselves. This quality of self-identification enables collective identity to share individual identity's claims to authenticity, while also making social and communal goals intrinsic to this authentic identity.
Collective identity has proven a useful basis for resistance to colonization, and by extension to neo-colonialist economic globalization. Collective identity provides a counter to the demeaning self-images imposed by the colonizer (examples in the colonial era would include images of non-Westerners as dumb, lazy, shiftless, and incapable of self-governance; examples in the neo-colonial era might include a more subtle image of the "modern industrial worker" climbing the economic ladder into the middle class — an image not as blatantly demeaning as it might be misleading or deceitful). The authentic quality of collective identity as a self-determined self-image gives the movement autonomy and agency. No longer the passive recipients of the colonizer's image, the collective asserts its own self-image, an image often formed around concrete political goals. The mutually reinforcing relationship between solidarity and goals means that as the collective works toward its goals, its identity increasingly solidifies, and the movement gains further momentum and strength.

Tentacle erotica can be consensual, but frequently contains elements of non-consensual sex. Cuckolding can also be mixed with other non-monogamous relationship arrangements with which it has substantial overlap such as Swinging, wife-swapping, open relationships, and polyamory, etc. Diaper fetishism is totally independent from pedophilia as the wearer derives pleasure only from the diaper and/or use of it.

fetish pornography features heavy emphasis on the feet of the participants, either in combination with kissing and genital sex or in the context of acts such as trampling or crush fetishism. Mammary intercourse is a sex act, performed as foreplay or as non-penetrative sex, that involves the stimulation of the male penis by the female breasts and vice versa. Pornography is often distinguished from erotica, which consists of the portrayal of sexuality with high-art aspirations, focusing also on feelings and emotions, while pornography involves the depiction of acts in a sensational manner, with the entire focus on the physical act, so as to arouse quick intense reactions. The concept of lesbian, to differentiate women with a shared sexual orientation, is a 20th-century construct. In academic discourse, racial fetishism is a postcolonialist term found in the writings of authors such as Homi K. This stop and go build-up, known as edging, can achieve even stronger orgasms.

Sweet Surrender Lyrics - Jaci Velasquez
Review The Song (1)
Mark Heimermann & Wayne Kirkpatrick
It's not a mysterious wind
And it's not the thunder rollin' in
It's a spirit that I feel within that's callin'
I understand but I can't explain
Now I see love in a different way
And with a single leap of faith I'm fallin'
Into Your lovin' arms
Showing no resistance
There's a peace that flows over me
Sweet surrender
Love me tender
You have captured my desiring heart -- completely
Sweet surrender
Yours forever
I will gladly give my all to You -- receive me
Oh Lord, I am ever Yours
Your love offers no escape
But I don't feel the need to run away
My heart has found a place to stay -- here with you
Nothing else could satisfy
The deep void that I had inside
From all the worldly battles I have lived through
Now here in Your loving arms
I have gone the distance
I will rest my soul in your embrace

HP Extends Z Workstation Family into Virtualization Realm29 May, 2014 By: Cadalyst Staff
Scheduled for June release, the HP DL380z will enable access to CAD and other graphics-intensive software from nearly any device in any location.
At the Citrix Synergy conference in Los Angeles earlier this month, HP debuted the HP DL380z Virtual Workstation, designed to support virtual computing in the fields of engineering, CAD, AEC, digital media, oil and gas exploration, education, and government.
Virtual computing allows users to access software — in this case, CAD and other compute-intensive applications — from virtually any location and using virtually any device, including thin clients, laptops, and tablets. Virtual computing, which comprises computer desktops and Windows-based software (apps) that are hosted on a server in a company's data center — is growing in popularity thanks to benefits that include improved data security, IT cost control, and support for a mobile workforce.
The HP DL380z Virtual Workstation resides in a company's data center but can be accessed from virtually anywhere.
In a virtual computing environment, the HP DL380z draws on HP server technology to support Citrix XenDesktop with HDX 3D Pro graphics-acceleration technology and the NVIDIA GRID Visual Computing Appliance. Certified for use with the Citrix virtualization stack and NVIDIA GRID, the HP DL380z incorporates the industry-standard 2U form factor, which means it can easily integrate into an existing data center infrastructure with no additional chassis hardware required.
"As IT needs change, customers are looking to HP for a virtualized workstation solution to support centralized, secure data access, high-availability applications and demanding graphics workloads," said Jim Zafarana, vice-president and general manager, Commercial Solutions Business Unit, HP. "The HP DL380z will provide a true workstation experience that offers end-to-end security and industry-leading ILO [Integrated Lights Out] centralized management."
The HP DL380z enables use of dual NVIDIA GRID K2 graphics cards and NVIDIA GRID GPU virtualization, supporting as many as eight users on one workstation. NVIDIA Quadro K6000, K5000, and K4000 graphics cards also are supported. By keeping the compute engine colocated with high-performance storage arrays in the data center, customers can experience dramatically reduced project load times, according to HP.
Rakesh Narasimhan, group vice-president and general manager, Desktops and Apps at Citrix, said, "Enterprises that are adopting app and desktop virtualization to provide a personalized mobile workspace must address a key user group: design and engineering users. Organizations must maintain tight security and control over valuable intellectual property as these users become more mobile and distributed. Providing customers with the powerful combination of HDX 3D Pro in XenDesktop with HP's virtual workstation with NVIDIA technology, we can deliver the high-performance experience of 3D apps that this specialized workforce needs."
The HP DL380z keeps intellectual property and other sensitive data centralized and secure by transmitting encrypted pixel data over LAN or WAN to remote users. It also allows for flexible IT management with a choice of pass-through GPU and virtual GPU modes that can be configured according to usage needs, making IT change management simple and efficient.
Virtual workstation environments can be configured in a variety of ways depending on the type of user. Source: HP.
The HP DL380z also supports HP Remote Graphics Software (RGS), which pioneered remote access to graphics-rich applications and the ability to host collaboration sessions from multiple devices and multiple operating systems, including Linux. The newest HP RGS release 7 added the ability to have true workstation productivity from a tablet while bringing intuitive touch controls to nontouch applications. The workstation also supports HP Velocity software, which significantly improves network performance, according to HP.
The virtual workstation software ecosystem supports a variety of end-point operating systems. Source: HP.
Pricing and Availability
The HP DL380z is scheduled for release in June. Pricing depends on the number of users and the system configuration and is available on request. For more information about the HP DL380z, including the full list of system specifications, visit the HP Virtual Workstations web site.

By PoliceOne Staff
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Police conducting a drug raid at a western New York apartment complex were confronted by 16 pit bulls suspected of being involved in a fighting ring Tuesday morning.
A Rochester narcotics officer was bitten on the lower leg during the raid and police shot three of the dogs, two fatally, Police Chief James Sheppard told the Democrat and Chronicle.
The seven adult pit bulls and nine puppies were found when police arrived to execute two warrants.
Police found drugs in the home, according to the paper. An unidentified person was charged on felony drug counts, and several others were taken into custody.
Sheppard said a dozen officers participated in the raid and acted according to policy, which requires an efficient entry.
"In that entry the dog is either going to run or it's going to be put down," Sheppard said. "As you enter that home, if you allow somebody to get a weapon, that's even more dangerous than the dog itself."

It turns out this year's deals incited some violence at big box stores across the country.
As the clock struck midnight, bargain-fueled madness got the best of these shoppers in Little Rock, Arkansas, where a riot broke out over a two dollar waffle iron.
In Los Angeles, a woman doused fellow shoppers with pepper spray.
The woman allegedly tried to take out the crowd, because there were too many people between her and a coveted X-box.
"There was just like a big fight at Games, and then people started screaming, and kids were on the floor," said a witness. "Then, everyone just started inhaling it."
Cops say the female suspect managed to grab an X-box and then check out.
Police are still searching for her.
In Fayetteville, North Carolina, police say two suspects opened fire before one ran inside after his intended target.
"It's scary because I have young children and my niece is with me," explained Eddrena Wiggins.
Black Friday even turned bloody in one Phoenix Wal-Mart.
A grandfather was slammed to the ground by cops who thought he was stealing something.
Witnesses say the shopper was just trying to lift his grandson out of harm's way, after the crowd went crazy for an open box of video games.
"It just got ripped to shreds by people and you literally would have thought there was the cure for cancer in this box," explained Skylar Stone who was there. "People were going insane."
Meanwhile, back here in the Capital Region, it was a busy Black Friday but no reported violence.
The closest incident was in Rome, New York.
Police arrested one man after two women were injured during a fight in Wal-Mart.
Back in 2008 a Wal-Mart employee was killed in a stampede of shoppers.
In an effort to control the crowds this year, Wal-Mart staggered its door-buster deals instead of offering them all at once.
