The relationship between the media and law enforcement is often adversarial. Reporters appear to seek the sensational elements of a crime story, often to the detriment of the police, and officers tend to be uncooperative with journalists they seem to instinctively mistrust. Not so with "The Badge," a new series presented by a San Francisco Chronicle reporter/photographer team embedded with the SFPD. Kudos to the Chronicle for pursuing this series and to the officers who willingly put themselves in the media spotlight in the hopes of helping civilians develop a better understanding of life behind the badge. You're putting a human face on "the police," which will benefit us all. Read the full "Badge" series
Officer Pete Shields grabs his keys and his gear bag. He gets behind the wheel of a patrol car. He logs in to the mobile data terminal - which looks like a laptop mounted on the center console - and heads out.
Today's a good day for Shields: No pain. He gets headaches most days. Once in a while, they blossom into full-blown migraines, and he has to take the day off. The pain is a remnant of the time he got clocked in the skull during a protest against globalization. He spent a year on disability.
Now, he's back at work at Mission Station, working the swing shift with a dozen or so other cops. When Shields and the other officers walk into the building on Valencia Street, they pass by the photo of Jon Cook, a Mission Station officer killed in the line of duty a couple of years ago. When they walk out the back, to where the squad cars are parked, they pass by the wanted posters -- the "armed and dangerous" men who have killed, raped, molested kids and set fires.
Shields' partner is off, so he drives a patrol car by himself. The sergeant has reminded the other officers to be prepared to come running if Shields has any trouble.
The in-car computer has been oddly quiet for some time, and the big excitement comes from providing crowd control on 22nd Street near Mission while an ambulance crew tends to a semiconscious man. The guy had a broken leg and pain medication, which he apparently mixed with cheap beer. The man is barely conscious and moans pitifully when he slides to the ground.
"Sometimes, we're just secretaries with guns," Shields says as he pulls away from the scene.
Shields is 38. He's been with the department since 2000. He grew up in Colorado and Santa Cruz, got a criminal justice degree from San Jose State University and planned to become a lawyer. But the criminal justice classes made cop work seem a lot more fun. So he applied to the SFPD.
Now, he can't imagine doing anything else.
Shields is of medium build and soft-spoken. He lives in San Francisco and calls himself a "foodie." That's one of the reasons he likes working the Mission. He likes the restaurants and food shops. He knows which coffee shop makes a Spanish "cortado."
He has a Scooby-Doo sticker on the butt of his semiautomatic pistol.
"I like the whole community policing thing," Shields says. "I like walking around, talking to people and trying to help them. Every day is different."
Moments later, the computer screen shows a call for service at San Francisco General Hospital. It concerns Child Protective Services.
Shields heads over to the hospital. Rolling down Potrero, he says CPS workers sometimes have a problem with families of newborns. If they suspect the child might be in danger, they can ask the police to stop by and sign a form that allows them to keep the baby at the hospital until they can perform a home inspection and interview the mother, father, whoever lives there.
Shields tries not to think about it. This is just an administrative chore for him. On its face, anyway. It's tough when kids are involved.
He learned that lesson some years back, when he spent an entire shift caring for an 8-year-old who had gotten lost in the city. He bonded with her over a Happy Meal. When his shift ended, she was disconsolate. The situation eventually had a happy ending, but Shields realized he couldn't get attached.
"You have to build up a wall inside you," he says, "so it can't affect you."
Shields makes his way to the sixth floor at General.
A social worker meets Shields at the door to neonatal care. She guides him to a desk in the middle of the room where another caseworker is waiting. The room is yellow and white, crammed with fetal monitors, cribs, computers and stacks of files. Shields, in his dark-blue uniform and thick leather gun belt, stands out like a linebacker in a dollhouse.
The two social workers tell the story: A very pregnant woman came to the hospital the day before and demanded to have labor induced. She said she was suicidal and didn't want the kid.
The new mother was young and obese. The caseworkers knew that, her name and address, and very little else.
Shields looks over the paperwork, asks about the mother and her newborn. It's a boy, happy and healthy. So far. The police officer has to decide whether to authorize the social workers to take custody of this little boy. This moment that should be so special, this boy's first day on Earth, is ugly.
Shields signs the forms.
He walks silently to his car. He calls dispatch to say he's 10-8, back in service.

Titleist AP2 712 Irons
Building upon the high technology design and resounding success of the original AP irons, Titleist introduces the new high performance AP2 irons for avid golfers. The Titleist AP2 are multi-material, dual cavity irons that take the design mission of "Advanced Performance You Can Feel" to new heights.
The concept for the original Advanced Performance irons arose as a result of research that indicated serious golfers want performance with great feel, not performance at the expense of feel. The Titleist R&D team's advanced research group has been conducting extensive sound and vibration analysis aimed at reducing the harsh lower frequency vibration that causes poor feel in irons. This research led to combining several technologies and materials in the back cavity of the new AP irons resulting in a new Tuned Feel System to take feel to a new level.
Picture of the Titleist AP2 712 Irons:

I use oil in my home (and so do many others) and will not change to natural gas. I am holding out until i can afford geothermal...many people have their own reasons for not changing
Pure value play
Market leader over the long term. Likely to only up.
valuation is low
good business with great product set, which will see demand grow as the depletion of existing oil feeds requires exploration in more difficult to exploit areas
Invest then sit back and watch your money increase with this company.
Leader in energy equipment. Should benefit from energy infrastructure expansion.
3 little words sum this one up--No Other Vendor. Even with the bumps in the road the last 6 months, this one is set to bring in profits for the long term. Just like in the gold rush, its the company that sells the best picks and shovels that will make the most money. Buy and hold this machine, it will put your kids through college.
Estimated intrinsic value of $130.
I was looking for a drilling company and
narrowed it down to NOV & SLB.
NOV looked like the better value.
NOV is an undervalue stock waiting on its cycle. Should be up 10% to 15% by end of 2014
Parts supplier to the oil industry. Great management!
steady growth and dividend for years. this company isn't going anywhere and will spin off a branch of operations this year. look for nov and its spinoff to increase in value year after year.
FCF + spinoff
Spinning off the distribution business will enable NOV to improve its margins and benefit shareholders.
I spoke on Boston radio recently about NOV. http://audio.wrko.com/a/88619572/stock-talk-jim-royal-motley-fool.htm
Quality company, spinoff should unlock value.
Dividends500 tracks the 200 strongest dividends in the S&P 500. To qualify as a strong dividend, the company must meet two simple requirements:
- A payout ratio below 50%
- An increasing dividend from the prior year
Because there are more than 200 dividend paying companies in the S&P 500 that meet these requirements, the qualifying companies with the largest dividend yields were chosen.
Dividends500 intends to test this FactSet article, which highlights these strong dividend paying companies and their outperformance versus the S&P 500 as a whole (Page 12).
If you have questions or see something you think is inaccurate feel free to let me know.
Its a great company, but It'll take some time for it to move significantly.

Definitions for gliderˈglaɪ dər
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word glider
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
glid•erˈglaɪ dər(n.)
a motorless, heavier-than-air aircraft, launched by towing or by catapult.
Category: Aeronautics
a person or thing that glides.
a porch swing made of an upholstered seat suspended from a steel framework by links or springs.
Category: Furniture
Origin of glider:
Princeton's WordNet
glider, sailplane(noun)
aircraft supported only by the dynamic action of air against its surfaces
Any heavier-than-air aircraft optimised for unpowered flight; a sailplane.
A pilot of glider aircraft.
Anything that glides, especially an animal or aircraft.
In the Game of Life cellular automaton, a particular configuration of five cells that recurs periodically at fixed offsets and appears to "walk" across the grid.
Origin: to glide + -er
Webster Dictionary
one who, or that which, glides
A glider or sailplane is a type of glider aircraft used in the sport of gliding. It has rigid wings and an undercarriage. Some gliders, known as motor gliders, are also used for gliding and soaring, but have engines which can be used for extending a flight and, for some types, for take-off. Aircraft such as hang gliders and paragliders are foot-launched and so are described in separate articles, though their differences from sailplanes are covered below. Glider aircraft that are used for purposes other than recreation, for example for military purposes, do not soar. Sports gliders benefit from creating the least drag for any given amount of lift, and this is best achieved with long, thin wings and a fully faired narrow cockpit. Aircraft with these features are able to climb efficiently in rising air and can glide long distances at high speed with a minimum loss of height in between.
Business intelligence and shorter sales cycles for the contract process.Glider takes the pain out of managing sales contracts and brings visibility to the "last mile" of the sales funnel.Glider provides finance and executive leadership with objective insight into which contracts will actually be signed by quarter-end, how many contracts are waiting on legal, how many are stuck in negotiations, and how many are out for final customer signatures. Glider reduces close times for reps by taking the focus away from process and putting it back on prospects. Companies can quickly create customizable workflows, setup contract approvals, collaborate on clause negotiations, and ultimately get e-signatures.Primary benefits include: • Shorter sales cycles • Better tracking and reporting for Finance • Objective KPIs for Sales, Finance, and LegalThe company is backed by True Ventures, CrunchFund, TechStars, Portland Seed Fund, and a handful of first-class angel investors.

Haltom City Police Chief Keith Lane was excited about a new future in Arizona.Lane took over the Haltom City Police Department four years ago after spending 22 years rising through the ranks in Keller.But in September, he was offered the chief's job in the central Arizona community of Prescott Valley, about 12 miles northeast of Prescott.Lane, an avid cyclist, was ready for the dry climate, the proximity to the Grand Canyon and national forests. The people were kind and welcoming. The community, about the same size as Haltom City, would be a great place to retire, he thought.But, as his Nov. 30 departure date loomed, Texas started to tighten its grip on him."You know, when I told my folks that I took the job, I really wasn't ready for their reaction," he said. "Then the folks in the community and the City Council started reaching out to me."That started wearing on my heart."The community wanted to keep Lane as chief because he got results, said City Manager Tom Muir.Lane created new units for bike patrols, fighting street crimes and deterring drunk driving. In a recent interview, Lane said he was especially proud of the department's Crime Free Multi-Housing program in which police work closely with apartment complex managers to deter crime with background checks, improved lighting and landscaping and, when necessary, prompt evictions.According to Lane, "Part 1" crimes — burglaries, robberies, vehicle thefts, rapes and murders — used to average about 2,000 per year in Haltom City, but that's been cut to about 500."But," Lane added, "the thing I'm most proud of is we have not had a complaint against an officer sustained since 2010, and we average about 60,000 calls for service per year."Muir said the department has "really rallied around" Lane."He got them operating on a different level," Muir said, "but it's more of him in the background, cheering them on, and he gives them all the credit."The turning point for Lane came a few weeks ago during a 13-hour drive to Prescott Valley to sign some paperwork."I started thinking, 'Is this really what I want to do?'" he said.He decided no, but he kept driving to Arizona to inform the city officials in person about his change of heart. They accepted his decision and wished him the best, Lane said."The minute I told them and got their reaction, I felt instantly that I had done the right thing," he said.Fortunately for him, Haltom City officials had not begun to seriously look for his replacement. He still thinks about retiring in Arizona, however."It's definitely a place I'd look at because of the people, the geography … everything," he said. "But I probably have 10 to 12 years in me."

Spicy/Flavored Mayo advice
- j
- Janet from Richmond Mar 28, 2007 10:35 AM
I don't like plain mayo at all, but I do enjoy the flavored mayos that are becoming more and more common at restaurants and sandwhich shops. Are there any from the store that are very good? I like spicy but non-spicy recommendations are welcomed also.
P.S. Please don't tell me to make my own. That's not what I'm looking for here.
re: lagatta
Has anyone trie Hellman's citrus mayo?. It is the jar with the orange cap. I am really interested in this one but I don't want to commit to a quart. It seems to be popular with the Latino market.
re: rworange
Tried it, wasn't impressed. Add a little lime juice to real mayo and you get a better flavor.
I've purchased, used, and been pleased with wasabi mayo, chipotle mayo, and several different garlic mayos.
Also, at a small winery in California's gold rush area, I once picked-up a couple of mayos that'd been made using wines (I recall a cabernet mayo that was incredible) - haven't seen those again, though.
Are you up crushing a head of garlic and putting it in a blender with a pint of Hellman's? No commercial product is like it.
I take regular mayo, puree some chipotle peppers & mix the 2 together. Tastes amazing.
Try this one also amazing tasting & all natural ingredients.
re: MiniMom
I've seen a chipotle flavored mayo from Mexico - McCormick brand I believe. It has a good bite.
re: MiniMom
Try adding cilantro to your chipotle mayo. Yum!
re: sheilal
Trader Joe's Wasabi Mayo packs quite a punch!
Boar's Head brand mayos are very good. Sold wherever Boar's Head brand deli meats are featured, usually at independant or local chain markets. Three flavors, I think.
I started buying their horseradish because it was the only one that has no preservatives in it. Their Deli Style Mustard has horseradish in it--yum.
The spouse loves the McCormick mayo sold in Mexican mercados. The main difference is the use of lime juice as an acid. It comes both with and without jalapenos.
I also add a paste made of wasabi powder and water to mayo - add a little soy sauce it you like. Let sit about 10 minutes and use with grilled tuna steak.
re: rockycat
I don't eat mayo, but sour cream with sriracha sauce added is delicious, and I bet it's good with mayo, too.
re: Ruth Lafler
There's a recipe for 'dynamite mussels' that calls for mixing mayo with sriracha, Hon-dashi granules, and fish roe (such as the fine yellow kind you get on sushi). Mussels on the half shell are coated with this mayo and broiled. But the mayo is a tasty dip or spread by itself.
re: Ruth Lafler
Yup, it works with mayo. Turns out I don't like sriracha, so mixing it with mayo as a dip or sandwich spread is using it up.
I know you said you don't want to make your own but this "recipe" could not be easier. When I am out of chipotles and/or feeling lazy but want kicked up mayo, I reach for a bottle of habanero pepper sauce. I generally have a few lying around since my parents are from Belize and send me tons of Marie Sharps brand sauces.
Anyway, just shake a few drops of that stuff into a little mayo and you're set. I've only done it with Marie Sharps but there are lots of habanero sauces on the market.
As for store brands, as a generla rule I find that Hellman's anything beats much of the brands on the market, including spicy mayo.

Googles eBay Killer Gets Mixed Reviews
Googles recently updated online marketplace is getting mixed reviews, in particular because it cant yet measure the reputation of a buyer or seller.
In the past few days, items like bags of candy for sale at Google Base could be purchased using credit card information stored in a Google account.
Read more here about Google Base.
Seemingly overnight, Google Base changed into the feature many Google watchers long suspected it was: an assault on the online retailing business, incumbents eBay, Amazon, Craigslist and others.
Now influencers such as Nik Cubrilovic are getting a first, and very important, impression of what Googles got.
Cubrilovic wrote that the Google credit card payment feature is more intuitive, and faster, than at eBay and other online merchants.
But online consumers are used to reputation monitoring, an automated means to gauge the reputation of a buyer or seller. Without it, Google could suffer.
"What we are seeing here from Google is a direct shot at eBays market, as well as other services such as Craigslist, though they have some way to get there," Cubrilovic wrote.
Read more here about how Microsoft has a base of its own in the works.
A Google representative had no substantive comment.

The 203rd General Assembly (1991) gave evangelism continued high emphasis in the life of the church.

Presbyterians and Human Sexuality 1991
From Office of the General Assembly
This report comes to the 203rd General Assembly (1991) after three years of study, research, and writing by the Special Committee on Human Sexuality. The origin, membership, and process of the special committee are described in the Preface. The final draft of the report was approved by the special committee at its meeting in Tampa, Florida, on January 31-February 3, 1991.
As the special committee entered its final months of deliberations, it became clear that several members felt that our emerging drafts did not adequately express their views on various problems or on theological method. Efforts to integrate all views ...
Resolution on Christian Responsibility And A National Medical Plan
From Office of the General Assembly
The 203rd General Assembly (1991) decries our nation's failure to establish an equitable, efficient, and universally accessible medical plan. It asks the nation's legislative leadership, with help from religious, health care, insurance, and other organizations or industries, to break the impasse for the purpose of establishing a National Medical Plan. It returns to the roots of healing found in our faith and speaks forthrightly for healthcare services guided by theological vision. It calls upon the Presbyterian family to step into the fray, advocating access to health care for all.
A description of our current health care crisis could ...
God Alone is Lord of the Conscience
From Office of the General Assembly
For two hundred years, General Assemblies of the Presbyterian Church have been concerned with religious liberty and the relationship of church and state. The first General Assembly might well have heard the echo of Hanover Presbytery's mighty Memorial to the Virginia legislature: "We ask no ecclesias-tical establishments for ourselves; neither can we approve of them when granted to others." Since 1788, our basic Principles of Church Order have placed in the first position the powerful commitment of our Reformed faith to religious liber-ty: "God alone is Lord of the conscience.…
Life Abundant
From Office of the General Assembly
Health issues come closer to each of our lives than perhaps any other issue. Almost every Presbyterian has had some direct contact with issues of health, hospitalization, life and death. The 200th General Assembly (1988) has challenged the congregations, governing bodies, and agencies of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) "to become vigorous and conscious promoters of health in all aspects in the life of the church, active advocates and agents of health in social order, and responsible stewards of both health and health resources."
Pornography: Far From The Song of Songs
From Office of the General Assembly
Responding to overtures from the presbyteries of Elizabeth and Cincinnati, the 196th General Assembly (1984) adopted a resolution on pornography that mandated the Council on Women and the Church (COWAC) and the General Assembly Mission Board (Office of Women) to "persevere in their work in the areas of pornography and obscenity and the education of the church and society to combat the abusive treatment of women."
Taking action to provide the budget necessary for this study in both 1985 and 1986, the 198th General Assembly (1986) directed the Council on Women and the Church and the Committee on Women's ...
Christian Obedience in a Nuclear Age
From Office of the General Assembly
Since the adoption of Peacemaking the Believers' Calling in 1980-1981 , peacemaking has become increasingly important in the life of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The Research Unit estimates that by 1987, 47 percent of the church's 11,600 congregations had made a commitment of some kind to the cause of peacemaking through their sessions. Peacemaking committees and committed individuals have been exploring and implementing ways to put those commitments into action. Out of all this interest and activity, questions have inevitably emerged as to the most appropriate peacemaking strategies for individual Christians and for corporate bodies: congregations, presbyteries ...
Is Christ Divided?
From Office of the General Assembly
The Task Force on Theological Pluralism was established in 1985 by the Advisory Council on Discipleship and Worship and the Council on Theology and Culture with members appointed by those two councils and the Advisory Council on Church and Society.
The task force grew out of concerns raised within the Committee on Pluralism and Conflict of the Advisory Council on Discipleship and Worship, where regular consultations with special organizations (Chapter IX) consistently raised issues relating to theological diversity within the church. Among these issues were conflicting perspectives on the value of diverse theological positions, the limits of theological diversity within ...

Just in case you haven't heard enough about Microsoft's Zune, ZuneInfo.com says that Microsoft has launched two Web sites with enough info to get you pumped up about the upcoming portable player.
Zune.net is everything you wanted to know about Zune in one spot. It features info and pictures about the product and its add-ons, artist information with some downloads to personalize your portable, and a list of upcoming Zune events. It's a chance to meet geeks just like you!
The other site, Zune Arts is Flash-based and features some funky little movies and bizarre artwork. Not entirely sure what any of it has to do with the product, but it's a good 10 or 15 minutes well spent.
To recap, the Zune is Microsoft's crack at making an iPod killer. Not sure if this device will be the almighty iPod slayer that everyone has claimed to be in the past, but I certainly like their stable of weapons: 30GB of storage, built-in Wi-Fi, an FM tuner and a 3-inch color display.

Something stalkery like that, because I'm quite taken by this Victoria's Secret hot blonde and each successive lingerie and sexy photoshoot, like these amazing shots for the V.S.

Yes, I know lingerie doesn't go in the washing machine, I hang it to line dry in my sleeping quarters. Enjoy.

What do you do when the restaurant makes you sick?
- h
- HickTownBarnaby Dec 9, 2008 04:26 PM
I was having lunch at a restaurant and had the feeling that there was something slightly 'off' about one particular dish. It wasn't anything so specific as to raise a complaint about. Just a feeling, more or less….
Three hours after leaving the restaurant I suddenly experienced an explosion of sickness that was embarrassing---and that put my plans for the remainder of the evening….on hold.
This is a highly-regarded fine dining establishment, one that I've visited many times without incident. I wasn't going to say anything to the restaurant, but my friend said they should know about what happened.
So, after I had recovered and thought about it, I sent a gentle note to the owner just to make her aware. Her reply: silence.
On one hand, I can understand her lack of response. Almost any acknowledgement could be seen as an admission of fault on her part---and in her position she probably wouldn't know if it was her food that made me sick or something else entirely. On the other hand, I could almost be offended by the lack of response, if I wanted to be.
I didn't eat or drink anything before or after my lunch and I'm as certain as I can be about what caused the illness.
Oh, well. I guess things like this just happen from time to time….
Your thoughts?
A lot of people are SURE they've gotten food poisoning after an experience like this. The problem is, there are many, many varieties of the 24-hour flu that manifest exactly this way, I promise you. Just like this. They mimic the symptoms of food poisoning exactly. The only way you can definitely determine if you had something bad from the restaurant instead of a sudden, violent onset of flu, which again, does happen all the time, is a) you went with, or know several other people who ate there the same day and time, got the same thing and were also sick (this happened at a wedding rehearsal once, for example, and yet the owners still insisted nothing was wrong even though their bathrooms and bushes were filled with guests expelling the food from one end or another) and b) to have your "sample" verified to have an offending bacteria. With most true cases of food poisoning, by the time the person feels like they can actually get away from the house long enough to deliver such a sample, let alone researching whom in your area (your doctor? the health department?) should get it, it will have passed through and verifying the case is just impossible.
What I would do is to call and let them know about your experience and ASK if anyone else got sick that they know of. They will probably always tell you no, even if they know of other people who did, because they're trying to avoid a liability problem, but if alerted to the possibility of a problem, particularly with a certain dish, they can then take steps immediately to address it - throw out the offending item, discuss with the offending cook, etc.
I'm sure restaurants are in a very tricky place when they get a call like this. If the call is legitimate, they could be in very big trouble and saying or doing the wrong thing could literally shut them down for good. And if the complaint isn't their fault, the customer could STILL sue them and shut them down, even if they actually didn't do anything wrong. I think restaurant owner should take a crisis communications class or employ a consultant who can advise them what the safe thing is to say when taking a call like this. Silence isn't right, but an automatic apology is an admission of fault (kind of like if you get into a fender bender, if you say "i'm sorry," you have admitted fault to the other person and that can be used in court, but if you say, "well, this is just terrible, isn't it?" or "Jeez, what a thing to happen on a terrible weather day like today," that's at least acknowledging that something unpleasant has happened without taking blame. I don't think it would be an awful thing to actually have a card posted above the phone with the particular language a lawyer or consultant would suggest they could use when getting a call like this. I don't presume to know what that would be, but perhaps something like, "It's too bad you are feeling ill, that's terrible. We have/have not gotten similar complaints today. We will do an audit of the kitchen and the items that you ate immediately. Can I have your name and phone number?" Or something like that.
I have to second rockandroller's response. It is virtually impossible to say it was the lunch you had. Food poisoning can take as much as a couple days to rear its very ugly head. Very sorry that you were ill.
re: im_nomad
Check out this article on WebMD which indicates certain types of food poisoning can start as long as 4 DAYS after ingesting the contaminated food:
re: im_nomad
You're correct, most of the time when people think they have the flu (throwing up, diarrhea, etc) and it passes quickly, they don't actually have influenza, but rather some other type of viral infection.
However, most food-borne illnesses take 8+ hours to affect their hosts. Very few will hit you quickly. If you get sick shortly after eating a meal, something in it most likely didn't sit well with your digestive system.
re: pollymerase
Wow! Never thought my background in bacteriology would help out in a CHOW posting, but here's a brief run down:
The most common forms of food poisioning begin showing symptoms within 2-6 hours of ingestion. Typically, the milder the case, the LATER the symptoms show up - so if you have a very severe case (largest "amount" of bacteria ingested, or more severe form) you could have symptoms very soon after eating. Also, in severe cases, some people even recall feeling "off" or uncomfortable as they are eating - as the OP seems to indicate - only to get violently ill a few hours later. And the CDC notes (as pollymerase does) that many people who believe they have a "24-hour flu" or bug actually have a foodborne illness - up to 76 million cases in the US per year.
And then my own experience - a few years ago a few friends and I ate dinner at a local establishment, and then moved to the bar next door. I was on my first beer when I suddenly felt ill and had to stop drinking. One friend - with whom I'd shared a salad - said she was feeling the same way. And within 30 minutes, as I was leaving, a third friend, who'd also had some salad, was starting to feel ill. The next morning, we discovered we'd all spent the nights in the bathrooms. I contacted the restaurant manager the following afternoon and explained what happened, telling him first that I wasn't interested in any compensation or anything - just wanted to let him know. He was really gracious, and later that afternoon he called to say they'd gotten rid of all the spinach, as they felt that was the culprit (I'm not so sure...thought it seemed more like campylobacter from raw chicken, but it was a nice gesture).
re: RosemaryHoney
Thank you, Rosemary. It was the salad that got me, as well.....
I'm far from an expert, but my understanding is opposite to r&r1's description of the '24 hour flu'. I was made to beleive that there is no such thing as a 24 hour flu (flu being influenza).
People call it that because, yes, the symptoms are somewhat similar to flu, but clear up after a short time. Its actually a food borne illness like poisoning or other gastro related problem, sometimes light, sometimes severe.
Me? I think you were poisoned.
Its happened to me a few times, mostly mild cases with diarhea and sweats, but once with violent results, and another where I thought I was gonna die.
Like you (and with hindsight) something seemed just a bit 'off'. Not so much that it raised alarms, but just a subtle 'something' (I've since come to better trust my first instincts).
So what about the restaurant?
I think most places will fall into two categories - a high end place sanitation wise, (it could be a hole in the wall or a 3 star joint) or somewhere that either doesn't try very hard, or isn't educated in safe food handling practices.
Your complaint (or gentle note) won't make a big difference in either of these places: the high end place is doing its best and may never know where the problem occured. The low end place won't care.
I've had to field calls like this in my day. The customer always knew EXACTLY what caused the problem. I was always unhappy to hear of the distress, but there wasn't a whole lot I could do.
If I told them that other people ate the scampi (or salad or soup or whatever) at the same time with no problems, it was demeaning, as if I wasn't beleiving them.
If I agreed with their problem, it was if I should have known prior and avoided it all together (I was never worried about being sued or shut down).
A lack of response could be due to the reasons you listed, but a human aspect also comes up - its dificult to talk to someone who thinks you hurt them.
I would thank the patron (like you, they are usually trying to help), express my sympathy for them getting sick, and explain that we are constantly striving for the very best in food handling practices. This is usually satisfactory. If it isn't, I'd honestly explain that I don't know why they got sick, and that I'd discuss the matter with all kitchen personnel.
I'd also agree with your statement that it does happen from time to time. I've eaten at a couple of chain restaurants where it happened more than that - I simply don't eat there anymore.
It's nearly impossible to prove that a particular restaurant made you sick if all you have is your own illness. Sometimes food poisoning manifests itself almost instantly, but sometimes an infection can incubate in your gut for several days before you have any symptoms. Who knows, the "slightly 'off'" sensation you had at lunch may have been the first stirrings of food poisoning you got from a meal you ate two days before.
To really establish cause and effect you need epidemiology. If other people at your table ate the same stuff and also got sick, that's a good indication that the meal caused the illness. Especially if the folks who avoided the suspect food are fine. So let the restaurant know that you got sick, but don't blame them for it; if they get several reports they should notify the public health officials. If you're worried that they won't report, notify the local health folks yourself, but be prepared to talk about a lot more than the last meal you ate before you got sick.
Regardless of whether you can identify the source of your illness, you have my sympathy. It's no fun. Hope you feel better soon.
re: ipsedixit
Thank you all for your interestnig comments. I can't prove it, but I'm more convinced than ever that it was that dish---and a specific ingredient on the dish---that made me sick. I go back to that intuitive feeling that something just wasn't right about it at the time....
I'd almost be willing to bet money that the restaurant received complaints from other customers who ate the same thing I ate that day. If they did not get any other complaints they could have responded to me with that.
I will eventually go back to the restaurant that served the poisoned food because I like the place so much. (ha) I do think that most of the time they do the best they can. But I will never again order that one item from their menu.....
It has happened to me from time to time but I haven't done anything except for once because I was 100% sure that it came from the pie as we went through some "tests." I ended up reporting it to the Department of Health and called up the bakery. When I told the guy at the bakery, his response was, "Oh no. Oh no. I'm sorry. It was on Wednesday? I knew it ..." Kind of instills confidence in the place -- no? And then reading the DOH reports, I realized that this one place had really bad infractions, especially since it's part of a larger food court where the other establishments had relatively good scores. And there's another location of that bakery where the reports are fine. So it was this one particular location that was really mismanaged. I'm never going there again.
There was another time where I did consider calling the restaurant because I was 99% sure our food poisoning came from a bad head-on shrimp (thoroughly mushy). I was lucky as I only ate the head and just suffered some mild diarrhea. But poor DH really got violently ill as he ate the body. But I didn't do anything because all of the other shrimps were fine, and it was probably just one bad shrimp to slipped through.
Hope you're feeling better now.
But aren't there times when you know that the reaction is due to certain dishes/food and the reaction can occur soon after ingestion?
Example #1: Escolar. Not to sound crass, but if you are shitting orange soon after eating a white fish, it is safe to assume that it was probably escolar and that fish made you sick. After this happened to a member of my family, the restaurant (small, higher end) apologized profusely and gave a gift cert.
Example #2: Allergy/intolerance. Correct me if I am wrong, but if a person is allergic to or has an intolerance of one of the ingredients wouldn't the reaction also occur soon after ingestion? When this happened with a coworker the restaurant (small, local chain) gave her a list of the ingredients, and again apologized profusely. Happened to my mother at a large, local chain and not only would the manager not give her a list of the ingredients, didn't apologize. I ended up sending an (somewhat angry) email and got an apologetic response.
Example #3: Safety mechanism/reaction (don't really know what else to call it). Can the body recognize that the food if "off" and before it does any real harm expel it? So it might appear like food poisoning (vomiting,etc.), but it's not food poisoning because the food hasn't actually "poisoned" (does that make any sense)?
But what ever the case, and for what ever reason you contact the restaurant, the polite thing would be for them to respond in a timely manner. And next time you eat there you could gently remind them of your letter.
I think you've got her lack of response figured out, especially in this litiginous society. IMO, you were very thoughtful to contact her directly, and I presume you did this out of respect for the establishment's stature and your previous happy experiences there. Any serious proprietor of an earnest restaurant will want to have the opportunity to resolve problems in their operations (especially spoiled food!).
If it were a restaurant that I didn't know well, I wouldn't contact the owner. I'm not sure *what* I would have done, were I in your shoes, given that you were a repeat patron. I agree with those here who point out that we can't always be sure of the source of our illness. Just because something tastes or smells "off" doesn't mean it will make us sick.
OTOH, and the thing more of us need to understand, and really accept, is that just because something tastes and smells fine doesn't mean it won't. So, it's important to be as mindful as we can of safe food practices whether we're preparing it ourselves or dining out and depending on others to be vigilant in our behalf. What we can see in a restaurant is often limited, but there are some things we can always look for. Is food served at its proper temperature--raw shellfish served on ice; dairy and poultry served appropriately hot or cold, depending on the dish, etc.? Servers trained never to handle drinking glasses by their rims? Sneezing and coughing employees removed from service, etc., and general cleanliness? If I saw infractions of some of those guidelines and got sick (or, even if I didn't), then I'd probably be more apt to call the health inspector.
In all my years of eating out, which I used to do virtually everyday, due to my former career and lifestyle, I don't recall ever a incident in which I think restaurant food made me ill, even overseas. OTOH, I have two people in my family who had "food poisoning" that the ER medical personnel, for whatever reason, linked directly to specific meals eaten in restaurants. While, again, I agree that we can't usually be sure where we picked something up, and I thought it generally took longer than three hours for the nasties to incubate, I'm very sorry to hear you became so ill. I hope you're feeling fine now with no lasting repercussions.
re: Steady Habits
Thank you, Steady Habits.
i once drastically poisoned myself eating raw cheese that was just too far gone (out of my own fridge.) a friend nearly died from e.coli from making hamburgers at his own barbecue party. he was in the hospital 3 weeks and has a permanently damaged immune system. both he and i have eaten all over the world and in some very dodgy places, yet have nobody else but ourselves to blame.
i've been in the restaurant business nearly 20 years, and have fielded numerous calls from people "positive" they contracted food poisoning. not once have i gotten two calls in the same day -- in other words, there really may have been a problem with the mussels or the chicken. unless you go to a doctor, there is no way to be sure you have food poisoning. i work in fine-dining, and often times people's systems simply can't "handle" all the butter that's actually in their dinners and that makes them feel sick.
it's also possible you had a bug and spread it from your fork to your friends, by them sharing your plate.
you were right to contact the owner, however, she should have acknowledged your note, even if avoiding a claim of culpability.

Its all very disapointing. Some users say that their users can access their channel but then later on they cant.
It doesnt seem like too much to ask for, if YouTube knows who we are via the Header Mod then surely they can allow access to our channel.
Hey that's my thread! As you can see they occasionally appear saying they are going to help and then never do!
Its a complete farce. I thought I would add a channel to my page via "Featured Channels" to give access to a channel but it doesnt work.

Friday, 11 November 2011 00:00
The five undersigned Trustees have determined it necessary to provide this letter to our residents in light of current discussions regarding the former St Paul's School building.
We realize that St. Paul's is an ongoing issue for many village residents, and that some accuse us of having "no vision" if we do not agree with the Committee to Save St. Paul's (CSSP) and the Historical Society. To the contrary, we certainly do have a vision.
First and foremost, our vision is to preserve the infrastructure and services that Garden City residents expect and for which you pay with your tax dollars. Any plan to use the building, or part of it, must be considered in light of this primary consideration. We hope to flesh out a more defined plan for the 25-year vacant facility in the weeks and months ahead. We are going to move forward. We are aware that some might like a recreation, community and senior center. Some residents say they just want a decision. Others are very concerned about the economy and tax increases and do not want any money spent on the building. Others want it preserved. We hear all of you.
We also need to correct the inaccurate factual statements published by the CSSP and set the record straight regarding the recent events regarding the current version of the CSSP's "plan" and the so called "letter of support" it insisted that the Board of Trustees authorize for it, ostensibly for a grant application. We see the events leading up to and comprising the Oct. 6 public Board Meeting in a completely different light.
As you may have read in the papers, at the conclusion of the CSSP's proposal presentation to the public at a Board of Trustees meeting on Oct. 6, 2011, the CSSP, Mayor Brudie and Trustee Cavanaugh pressured the other members of the Board of Trustees to authorize the execution by the Mayor of the so-called letter of support. We were told that it was vital that we provide this authorization that evening because the time to file the application expired on October 31, 2011. We were not given a copy of the grant, any background information or any details on the legal aspects of the grant. We were told to just approve the execution of the letter by the mayor. When we objected we were ridiculed for delaying this important work. When Village counsel was asked if there were any strings attached to the grant he said that he did not know. Village counsel stated that he had not seen the letter in advance and he needed time to research this issue.
The factual background is now coming to light. The grant does have significant strings attached, including a preservation covenant. Under this preservation covenant if the Village used grant funds to repair the roof of the building, the village would be required to obtain the State's approval prior to any change to the building. The CSSP knew about this and the other strings attached to the grant. Its representative attended a meeting on June 15, 2011 where the rules and regulations on grants were explained – this was 114 days prior to the Oct. 6 board of trustees meeting. Again, the undersigned trustees first learned about the grant on Oct. 6 with the rest of the public. We question why the information and proposed letter were not shared with us sooner.
At the subsequent board of trustees meeting on Oct. 20, 2011, Mayor Brudie admitted that there were substantial strings attached to the grant application and that the village would not be moving forward with the letter or the grant application.
Prior to the referendum put forth earlier this year which asked residents whether or not the village should issue bonds to demolish the building and Ellis Hall (which is the small building to the right of the main building), the CSSP presented its plan to spend $8 million to $10 million for some limited renovation. They proposed to create approximately 10,000 square feet of public meeting space on the first floor of the 125,000-square-foot building, restore the chapel, and make minimal repairs to the structure. This virtually same proposal was made again in June of this year, and again presented to the board of trustees in September and October.
At an estimated cost of $8 to $10 million, the plan put forth by the CSSP is not, in its own words, intended to restore the building or even properly mothball the unused portion, but simply to make basic repairs to the existing windows, façade and roof. The village board of trustees is being asked to commit your tax dollars to partially "stabilize" the building. How much? Well it could be an initial $10 million under the most recent version of the CSSP plan, or it could be $21 million under the numbers submitted by its consultant – Turner Construction – a highly regarded international construction firm. Despite the CSSP's odd attempt to paint an opposite picture, Turner Construction is the CSSP's consultant – not hired or retained by the village.
The CSSP's original proposal made in June 2010, which we believe is substantially similar to its Oct. 6 proposal, was reviewed and examined by the village's expert consultant, Erwin Lobo Bielinski PLLC. ELB's findings are located in Appendix M to the Final Environmental Impact Statement of February 2011, located on the village website. That detailed report states that the CSSP plan is costly and defers the significant bulk of the work and expense of the required stabilization, restoration and renovation until a viable future use is proposed for the entire building. It goes on to state that the $8 to $10 million projected cost of this proposal:
(i) is under estimated;
(ii) would be largely wasted if a reuse option is implemented;
(iii) defers the cost of full stabilization, restoration and renovation;
(iii) requires a significantly higher Village expenditure to demolition;
(v) requires continued annual funding;
(vi) is insufficient to avoid future deterioration of unused portions of the building; and
(vii) relies on funding to complete the restoration from a yet to be defined future reuse.
The CSSP has been making the rounds in various village meetings and in the media stating there is no need for any independent review of the costs or the overall feasibility or practicality of their "new" plan. According to the CSSP, there need not be any expert opinion on what really has to be spent to preserve the building or bring it up to code to allow public use. The CSSP asserts that it has done all the vetting of its plan and the village board should just sign on and send out the bill to the taxpayers.
We assure you that any plan submitted to the board of trustees will be properly vetted by a consultant engaged by the village. In addition, we will not approve any band-aid proposal. And, we will not obligate taxpayers for the next 15 to 30 years with a project that has escalating costs, no plan for 90 percent of the space or any estimate of potential future expenditures.
But enough of the past. As stated earlier, we will be moving forward.

November 27, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - A person familiar with negotiations to bring Jennifer Lopez back as an "American Idol" judge says her return will be announced this week.
The person said Monday that a deal is close to being signed with Lopez, who was an "Idol" judge for the 2011 and 2012 seasons. The person wasn't authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The person says Lopez decided to rejoin the show because its production schedule will allow her to spend more time with her children, 5-year-old twins Emme and Max.
Lopez will join returning judge Keith Urban and a third person who hasn't been announced.
Fox has declined to comment on whether Lopez is joining "American Idol" and did not immediately respond to another request for comment Monday.
Lopez's agent did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
