Cioppino's is an award winning Italian and Mediterranean restaurant specializing in fresh ingredients. Executive Chef owned and operated.
I ate here with a friend last friday night. This is a beautiful restaurant and we sat out on the patio area.
We ordered an appetizer each.
-Porcini and Chestnut Soup: low fat vanilla Chantilly (Gold Medal Winner 2007) $ 14.95 - This was a good soup, I wouldn't give it an award but overall good. I guess when I read that it's award winning I expected perfection. 4 out of 5.
- Burratta (special appy for that day) $25 - This was tasty but seemed very expensive for what we got. 4 out of 5
I had the Pappardelle: 4 hour-braised veal cheeks and porcini mushrooms $ 25.00 - This dish was great, a 5 out of 5 for me. I have no complaints here.
He had a rack of lamb for $40 that he enjoyed. He said portion was too small.
Dessert - I had the Light milk chocolate mousse, raspberry cream centre, amarena cherry, mango coulis $12. For a $12 dessert I wasn't impressed. I've definitely had better mousse before. This was small portion and all fancy looking but that's about it. Still was good but I am fussy when the prices are SO high, 3.5 out of 5 on this dish.
With 1 beer each the bill came to $146 taxes in.
Overall, great place, great service, great food, Very expensive. If I were to return the only thing I would order again was the Menabrea beer and the Pappardelle, that was an excellent dish.
Went to Cioppino for lunch. This restaurant is not open for lunch and they only do dinners. It was not very busy at lunch time. Service was good and food was not bad. It was very expensive. It's a good thing that i was not paying otherwise I would have not been happy. It's overrated for what they serve. Their coffee was average. The portions were small and it cost us about $250 for lunch without drinks. I think there are much better restaurants in the city if you want to pay this kind of money. Parking was also hard to find.
Went here on a weekday night and it was still quite busy. The chef makes a effort to be seen around the restaurant which is good and he was actually clearing tables. Good to come around and greet customers. Tried the medium rare, thinly shaved veal as an appy. Very good with a nice sauce. Tried the traditional osso bucco and it was actually a bit on the dry side, could of used a bit more sauce. The rissoto was very good. Service overall was excellent, with great recommendations, folding of your napkin each time you got out of the seat and never rushed. The value was just good as there seemed like more thousand dollar wines on the list then under one hundred dollar wines. Food prices are resonable for the quality. Great room and decor. Would return for a special occasion.
Made reservations for a thursday night, arrived on time, and was seated immediately.
The server was superb, polite and attentive.
We ordered an appetizer of diver scallops on barely risotto with romesco sauce.
For my main, I ordered the pasta with spotted prawns, dungeness crab & cherry tomatoes, and my dining companion ordered the daily feature item of seared halibut with vegetables. Both were absolutely exceptional.
The room is warm if slightly dark, the dining area in the wine room is amazing.
When you see all the awards this restaurant and its head chef have received, I really need not write too much here. This restaurant has been my absolute favourite for years, and it seems to get better and better. Every time I go, I get a pleasant surprise in how they keep creating new dishes that I have never heard of or tasted anywhere else but tastes absolutely fantastic. This time, three of us went for dinner, and had a variety of appetizers, including seared scallops, artichoke soup, and crab meat salad. The flavours were beyond description, everything came out fresh and hot, and really tickled our tastebuds. The main dishes were equally awesome, from pasta with texture and flavours that no other restaurant could come close to, to incredibly tender and flavoured veal, cooked to perfection. Dining experience just doesn't get better than this. Expensive, but well worth the money.
Truly a fine restaurant and we enjoyed our meal. When my wine arrived I asked the server if that was a sample as the glass seemed so small. He claims it was 5 ounces and I must wonder why they don't provide six ounces which most restaurants seem to do. We had a nice bowl of soup which was $ 15.00 which seemed a little pricey but we shall return
Well I just had high expectations based on reviews, this place left us disapointed (two couples).The resturaunt itself is nice, warm and quite in places that was good, unfortunately the food preparation seemed quite slapped together The scallops appetizer was two scallops on a plate for over $18. My maybe one cup of risotto with mushrooms was over $30 it was bland and had a very starchy taste to it with very little mushrooms. Bread came cold and was served with hummus...My husband had his drink taken before he even finished it. $100+ per person not including alcohol.
To much to choose from in the city we will not return.
I love the prosciutto and melon served here - have it every time. Whether I have sat at the bar for drinks and appies or dinner in a private room, I have enjoyed the food and service here. The chef/owner really takes care of you as reflected by the bill. You do get a great quality Italian dining experience here every time. The architecture and design really creates the atmosphere here but dinner on the patio in the summertime hits the spot too.
In July of this year, I emailed Cioppino's to see if they could could a traditionaly italian menu to celebrate my anniversary with my wife. We had honeymooned in Italy and wanted that taste again. I began emailing with what turned out to be Pino, himself, and giving him our requirements for the meal (which were very few).
We agreed on a target price for food and wine, and gave it over to the chef. On the night, we were not disappointed. The wine came out immediately, something delicious that we had never tried before and then the meals started coming. Course after course, everything was delicious and very little of it was on the actual menu.
We were served octopus, uni, lamb, duck, rabbit, beef and the list goes on. We were blown away by the food and it surpassed every expectation that we had. Pino's dedication to his customer's puts him in a class of his own. He made sure to come out at the end of the night and introduce himself.
And to great happiness for my wallet at the end of the night, the bill came exactly to what we had agreed upon. Yes, it was a little more expensive than other places we could have gone, but it was well worth it.
This place is incredible! Definetely the best restaurant in the city. The food is to die for. Their pastas and rissottos are perfect. The ossobucco is one of the best. Others will agree that evenings end perfectly with warm truffle filled chocolate cake. Service is top notch & professional. Room is beautiful. Recommend
I'm not too critical of most places, so keep that in mind when reading this. I ordered the Warm Octopus Carpaccio and it was quite nice, very warm, soft textured, and the garnishes complemented well. My friend had the Prawns with Chorizo and they were also brilliant. The duck was great...I'd give the duck 7/10...my Atlantic lobster was about a 5/10...definately was not spectacular, the scallops were a bit overcooked on my dish, as were the prawns.
Their wine list is amazing though, and the service is brilliant, everyone there is so professional...if only more restaurants could have this grade of service!
Overall I'd go back for the ambiance, and the food aint bad either!
If you love pasta this is the place for you. We went to Cioppino's last night for a business dinner and it was fantastic. The service is top notch, very knowledgable and attentive. I had a Warm Goat Cheese salad with portabello mushroom, artichoke and a maple caramel reduction drizzled on top. It was sooo tasty. For my Main Course I had a Lobster and Crab Pasta with a Tomato Cream Sauce. It was some of the best pasta I have ever had, the sauce was simple but so flavorful. To finish off the meal I had an espresso and a Rasberry/Mango Sorbet. It was a perfect way to end the meal.
I am still fuming as I'm typing this.
On sep 9th, my girlfriend and I chose this supposedly highly rated and much anticipated restaurant for our girls night out. The food was okay, but the service was a different story. Our server was a middle aged Italian man with a very heavy accent. He did not understand what personal space was, and we found him very offensive and extremely inappropriate!
When I asked the difference between one particular appetizer special and another app in the main menu, he quickly slapped my menu shut (which was still in my hands) and said abruptly "NO!! they are different!" Of course I know they are different. I am not an idiot. I am merely asking about the difference, as the main ingredients are the same. We are two young looking girls, but we do not appreciate this kind of abrupt treatment. But I didn't want to argue with him as I didn't want to ruin the night.
I ordered for the both of us because we wanted to share everything. We have always done that at many high end restaurants with no problem. However, this server of ours replied "um...." with the longest pause, to which I replied, "what's wrong?" He said, "let me think." and then the longest and most uncomfortable pause. He said, "OH!!! you want to share EVERYTHING? Just like Chinese! You Chinese like put it in the middle of the table and share (with exaggerated hand gesture)...." and on and on. We were in shock! Yes we are Asian, but what makes him assume we are Chinese, and it's the tone that really put us off!! What an ignorant remark. The worst is yet to come.
In the middle of the service, he came to our table and said "Oh Louis Vuitton is soooo expensive!!!! What are they now? $2000 $3000? How much did you pay for yours???" I couldn't believe my ears! My friend has a Louis Vuitton bag, and he actually went as far as touching it! He then went on and on and said "oh I want to buy it for my wife but soooo expensive..." We just wanted him to shut up and let us be. It's just a bag. I wanted to complain to the manager and change table, but my friend didn't want the hassle. We decided to ignore him as much as possible to avoid any potential inappropriate comment. But that doesn't stop him from coming too close to our table a couple of times.
Service can really make or break an evening regardless of the food. The food doesn't come cheap. Sadly, this high price doesn't warrant this kind of unprofessional service at all. We could not enjoy our food, and the service left a bad taste in our mouth. This is one expensive meal yet with the worst and most uncomfortable service to date. We both regretted going there.
I am still in disbelief of what happened that evening. The server just didn't seem to have any savvy.
This weekend we wanted to try a new restaurant in Yaletown and stumbled upon Cioppino's. The menu looked appealing and we both love beef carppacio so we were hooked. It was a busy evening but luckily they managed to find us a table on the patio. I have dined in several high end restaurants before but I just found the experience to be pretentious and the prices over inflated. Although I ordered the carpaccio and enjoyed it, I didn't think it was worth almost $20 nor was a small bowl of pasta worth $25.
We had a family dinner here this evening. I was impressed with the service and the way we were treated on arrival. Whilst we waited for our family and friends to arrive my wife and I were remarking on the high prices for each food item.
Whilst we were not paying the bill we were still congizant of the food prices. Entrees average around $40 each. Having said that I must admit the quality of the food was spectacular. We were also waited on hand and foot whilst we ate on a busy evening.
I would say this place is a bit exorbitant, though if really want to make sure you dine at a fine Italian place then this is it.
We live in Yaletown and dine out a lot, so we've tried pretty much the full range of restaurants in the area. We had always found Cioppino's to be expensive from reading the menu outside, and with so many other good options around, we left it for a special occasion. Bad idea.
The first problem was the overload of off menu "specials" which was recited rapid fire at us. There were probably 8 or 10 of them, but I lost count. In hindsight (see below), this is a sign of a chef with too big of an ego to let go of any new creations and can't focus on a handful of items that are truly exceptional.
Second problem was the sommelier. We are not wine novices but he treated as if we were, maybe just because we look young. We would have been quite capable of navigating the 60 page wine menu, but we didn't even have 2 minutes with the menu before being interrupted. He asked for a price range and said he would see if he had some bottles not on the menu for us. Never came back with any. Later, we asked his opinion about two specific bottles and he gave some useful comments. But just as we were about to decide, he bring up another entirely different category. We were going to choose a Burgundy, but then he directed us to New Zealand Pinot Noir. Same grape, but completely different styles! We were about to tell him our choice, and again, he brings up a completely different category. Really, he was quite a useless sommelier to help us choose a wine.
Third problem is the food. Tiny, tiny portions and exorbitant prices. Some items are tastefully prepared, but overpriced compared to other restaurants of similar quality in the Yaletown area. The "award winning" Porcine and chestnut soup was particular disappointing--neither mushroom not chestnut flavours were evident. Both of us tried it, and it tasted mostly like creamed celery soup. We returned the soup without eating it. It was not taken off the bill.
The nail in the coffin was the chef. The manager asked why we didn't like the soup. We gave him our frank opinion. Moments later, the chef comes to our table and accosts us for not appreciating the 14, 16 hour days he puts in toward his craft, blah blah blah. He continues like this for about 10 minutes. The manager is nowhere to be seen to restrain this chef or to defuse the situation. I would have walked out right there, but that would have giving him a reason to call the cops or something and accuse us of not paying. The verbal assault was completely unacceptable. If you are going to ask for customers' opinion, don't go shouting at them when you don't like what they have to say. I've never met such an egotistical chef.
Don't dine here.
My gf and I went to Cioppino's to celebrate my bday tonite. We do not drink wine n it seems strange not to do so in there as more than ninety percent of the diner do so. Fortunately, the server treat us the same way as others. Before we order any food, the bread had been brought to the table. We don't like it because it's a little to hard, and it tasted bad. On the bright side, the restaurant serve bread with smashed tuna instead of butter. That's nice and rare to see elsewhere. We order a pan seared foie gras with "poorman" salad(stupid name for the salad) to start. The portion was disappointingly small as we only have two thin pieces of foie gras for the whole plate. We are both very surprise the size of the foie gras plate is ridiculously small compare to other restaurant we visited. We look around the restuarant and saw the whole dinning room is having small portion food in a big plate. The taste was ok(i had better ones b4), but once again it didn't shock me as much as the size did. Then, our entree ( 2 lobster tail and rack of lamb) are up. They are also in small portion and are being served with the same sides(vege and beans). They taste fine but we already have the feeling we r not gonna b full when we walked out. We looked around n saw the table next to us actually ordered 8 plates for 2(guess they r familiar with the restaurant and knows how much to order to please themselves). The largest dish we saw in the whole dinning room was the steak, but i doubt that people wants to have steaks in here rather than Gotham Morton or Hys. The most impressive part of the whole dinner is the dessert. We had the trio of creme brulee and a pear tart(with pear sorbet). They are considered to be some of the finest dessert that i have ever had. If you are rich enough to visit this restaurant, desserts will surely be the thing that you cannot miss. If you want to be full, i guess you might have to break into a bank to do it.
My friend and I dined at Cioppino's for the first time on weekday night.
The restaurant was about 90% full, and the service was excellent.
The appetizer: Beef Carpaccio was delicious, but I had a better beef Carpaccio at CRU for a better price.
The pasta: Although the price was twice as expensive as Anton's, the taste was twice as good. The portion is about 1/4 of Anton's, but very satisfying. I feel like I finally found a restaurant where they cook the pasta perfectly.
The dessert: Simply delicious. For me, the most impressive part of the dinner was the dessert... I had a warm apple tart, and the flavor just burst in my mouth.
What I loved the most about this restaurant was the service and ambiance.
Tables were distanced well, so that I didn't get bothered by another table's conversation.
The waiter was very knowledgeable and courteous.
They are very prompt when we need them, and never arrogant like some snobby places. The food was simply delicious. May be I will skip the appetizer next time, so that I can come here more casually.
All around this was a great experience, excellent top notch friendly service. An extensive wine list that was a little over priced but lots of quality to choose from. The Chef/Sommielier visited our table often and ensured quality. The owner as well spent time with our table making sure that we were happy in an old school Italian way. The food was excellent with a good menu, although it was hard to read. Over all a great experience and certainly left quite satisfied.
I loved this place, never been before. We walked so parking was not an issue but I see how it could be being in the center of Yaletown. To start off I have very high standards on Italian food so maybe I cannot properly judge (as I am bias) Service and greeting is true to the previous reviews. As for the food, I rated it a solid, firstly, kind of small portions and one thing I did notice was the menu was not that extensive, I do not even recall seeing spaghetti on the menu. Positives, appies were delicious, I had the typical Osso Bucco and my husband the ribs…yum yum to both, and my goodness the wine menu was a binder! many bottles into the thousands of dollars- now that's impressive. The restaurant itself is huge, yet still manages to be cozy for us couples. This certainly seems like a place to smooze the boss, or important male clients. Btw my husband loved both food and ambiance.

Swiss Pork Steak
Recipe by Country Cook in Okl
I always have pork in the freezer. One day I was hungry for swiss steak and was out of beef, I fixed it with pork instead of beef. True comfort food served over mashed potatoes or rice yummmmm. We really like it..hope you do too!!
Top Review by jovigirl
I was really glad to find this! I love Swiss Steak and only had pork cutlets, so I did a search on pork recipes and this jumped out on me. I love beef, but in an effort to eat a little better, I keep pork around. This was really good and I had all of the ingredients right here! (we were in the middle of a tropical storm so I wasn't about to go to the store lol!!). I didn't use mushrooms, but followed the rest. The meat was extremely tender and the flavor was great! I served it over rice and alongside some buttered broccoli. Great easy dinner!

Hello Dear, thank you so much for your questions,
Operations that commonly occur together are the Tummy Tuck and the BBL. Perform these three together operations may involve a risk, because you would more time under anesthesia, this is why I would recommend you make the arm lift to another operation, but this would be something that you would argue with your board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope hear from you soon, best wishes!!

Christmas Trees
Many areas in Pennsylvania are compatible for Christmas tree production. In the past, many producers used their marginal land for tree production. This marginal land included hill sides, low (and possibly high moisture) areas, and soils that would not produce agronomic or horticultural crops well. These practices have diminished in recent years due to the use of tractors for planting, mowing and pesticide applications. It is not safe to operate equipment on steeper slopes and pesticide applications in areas with high water tables may cause contamination.
Another factor in Christmas tree production is that you will need to wait at least eight years for a return on your investment. Production costs that build over a period of time are harder to recoup than annual crops as the interest on investment compounds over the production period. You will also need to work in temperature extremes as you will prune and apply pesticides to the trees in mid-summer and harvest is in early winter.
It is best to develop your marketing plan before or very early after planting. Many service organizations sell Christmas trees before the Holidays as fund raising for the organization. If you are planning wholesale marketing, this may be a good option. You should contact them to determine their willingness to purchase from you. They may also have advice on which types of trees are the most popular in your area.
If you are planning a retail operation such as a cut-your-own or pre-cut sales, take note of other operations in your immediate area. Will the local market allow another operation? You will also be dealing directly with the public and if you have cut-your-own, your liability increases. Contact your insurance provider prior to beginning harvest to be sure you have adequate coverage.

Mick Jagger and his longtime girlfriend L'Wren Scott had reportedly split before the fashion designer's "apparent suicide".
A law enforcement source described the 49-year-old fashion designer as Jagger's "former" girlfriend and it has also been revealed that Scott had told a pal from her native Utah that the musician had dumped her, the New York Post reported.
Sources have also claimed that Scott planned on going for apartment hunting when Jagger returned from his tour. [2]
However, The Rolling Stone frontman's rep insisted that the couple, who began dating in 2001, were "absolutely" still together when she died and the reports about their split are 100 percent untrue.
Scott was found dead hanging from a doorknob by her assistant at the fashion designer's duplex apartment on Eleventh Avenue and West 24th Street.

Biden to Meet With Issa
Rep. Darrell Issa, the California Republican who's set to be the next watchdog of the Obama administration, has complained that Vice President Joe Biden won't meet with him to discuss oversight of the economic stimulus spending.
So, the vice president invited him to the White House.
Mr. Issa will meet with Mr. Biden at 3 p.m. Tuesday "to discuss oversight of the Recovery Act and opportunities to increase transparency in other federal programs," according to a schedule released by the vice president's office.
Forgive the pair if they dispatch with the pleasantries and get right down to business. Mr. Issa singled out the vice president in an interview with Bloomberg Television last month for his failure to conduct proper oversight of the stimulus, saying, "Vice President Biden was supposed to be the great overseers of stimulus money."…

Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra said his side had got what they deserved after being eliminated from the Europa League by Athletic Bilbao on Thursday.
United needed to overturn a 3-2 deficit from the first leg, but they never looked like troubling Marcelo Bielsa's slick side and went out after a one-sided 2-1 loss at San Mames saw them beaten 5-3 on aggregate.
It was the latest setback in a string of European disappointments for United, who meekly exited the Champions League at the group phase after losing 2-1 at Swiss champions FC Basel in December.
"It has been a bad year in Europe for Manchester United. We have had a difficult season," said Evra, who captained United in Bilbao.
"We have been more focused in the league, I don't know why. You have to be honest and say we don't deserve to be in the Champions League or the Europa League this season."
Beaten 3-1 by Barcelona in last season's Champions League final, United now find themselves without a major final to look forward to for the first time since the 2001-02 season.
Their only hope of silverware rests with the defence of their Premier League title.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side currently leads nearest rivals Manchester City by a point, ahead of their trip to relegation-threatened Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.

|Discussion on Mirianism
This article contains references to theological and scientific implications that the Mirian Church generally makes use of in describing how the Universe works, and what is essentially behind these workings according to central Mirian beliefs.
B-reyšitā (In the Beginning...)
Mirian cosmological beliefs about the beginning of the world are not central to the Mirian message, but there is a doctrine that is distinct from the dogmatic christian doctrine. God the Father is still held as the source and origin of all things, but, in theory, the creation of the Earth is not held to be six literal (24 hour) days. The six day theory is said to acctually be six periods of time, and the seventh period is when creation was complete.
Another theory is that the world was created in six literal days from the Divine point of view, and 15 billion years from the human point of view. Therefore, there is no contradiction between Genesis 1 and the 'Big Bang' in terms of time. It all depends on the reference frame. Einstein's Special and General Relativity changed the way physicists looked at space and time before Einstein overthrew the old Newtonian concepts.
The concensus between science and biblical religion is that the Universe, as we know it, had a beginning and will probably have an end.
'Ālām (Cosmos)
Šmayā (Heaven)
Mirianism teaches that there are many states of existence, but these states (called 'ālmeyn or aeons) are subject to constant change. In general, Mirianism holds both linear and cyclical views of the history of the Universe, and that everything passes away, including heaven and earth (Matt. 24:35).* In other words, history is a spiral that occasionally repeats itself, albeit in different circumstances, until it is altered by significant events.
Heaven (Šmayā) is God's throne, and is that which governs all existance. The laws of the Universe are enforced by Heaven and are believed to be the manifestations of angels of the Middle Sphere hierarchy (see below).
* Note here that "heaven and earth" also refers to the duration of the Old Testament's authority (Matt. 5:18). In apocalyptic language, "heavens" refer to governments and rulers, and earth refers to the nation of a people. Mirianism teaches that Old Testament authority has already passed away in the "Mini-Apocalypse" of 70 AD.
Pardaysā wa-Šyūl (Paradise and Sheol)
One of the most important questions that humanity has faced since our beginnings is "what happens after we die?" Mirianism doesn't claim to know the correct answer to this and similar questions, but it does teach that the body and spirit depart when buried and returned to the earth. The flesh goes back to the earth, while the spirit (attached to the soul) goes to the underworld. Yeshwa's parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man (Luke 16:19-31) seems to indicate an ancient belief that, after death, a wicked person's soul would go to a state of torment in the underworld (Hades). The soul that had "received bad things" in earthly life would go to a state of rest in the underworld; hence Abraham's Bosom, or Paradise.
Hades (Sheol), however, is not the same thing as "hell" (Gehiinaum), and Yeshwa's parable never once mentions gehenna. Likewise, Paradise is not the same thing as "heaven" (Shmayā), and the parable never mentions heaven either. Reincarnation out of these temporal states is certainly possible, given that Mirianism does not deny the existence of reincarnation (gelgol). Paradise is where benevolent spirits, repentant spirits, spirits of miscarried children, and saints go while they await due resurrection. Similarly, malevolent spirits are said to go into the state of torment prior to the fulfillment of the Providence of Resurrection and the renewal of all things. Heaven is God's throne, that which governs all existence and which enforces the laws of the Universe via angelic hierarchies.
'Ālmā (The Universe)
Since the beginning (reyšitā), the Universe has been governed by many physical forces, all of which were once theoretically unified into one "superforce" before the Creation. Mirianism, with the help of modern physics, teaches that God created the heavens by way of breaking supersymmetry. Prior to the break, God prepared the Universal laws during what is known by physicists as the "Planck Era" (before 10-43 seconds after the Big Bang).[1] After the break of supersymmetry, the result was utter chaos, but not without merit. All laws were established before the beginning of our Universe, and "inherent properties of matter that permit, or rather cause, the orderly organization of the matter of our universe are represented by the strong and weak nuclear forces, the electromagnetic force and the gravitational force."[2] These forces make up the four fundamental interactions and are caused by force-carrying particles called bosons.
In the view of Cabalists, at the instant of creation, God had "contracted."[3] God fills all eternity, but contracts to create universes from a single point, which in Hebrew is termed tzimtzum. According to String theory and M-theory, all of reality exists in ten (or eleven) dimensions. Only four of these dimensions are measurable within our universe (length, width, height, and time). The Universe is seen to be contained within (3+1)-dimensions on a brane within a higher dimensional space. The higher dimensional space is called the "bulk;" the extra six or seven dimensions are contained within the observable Universe, but are smaller than the smallest subatomic particle. This makes the "bulk" model irrelevant in this context, since the higher dimensions are compactified within the Universe. Thus, reality is highly interconnected and nothing holds together apart from anything else.
While God can certainly exists within these higher dimensions, He can also exist within the spacetime continuum of our Universe, but will have to take forms that will not violate or destroy all the laws of physics. It is believed that God participates in the history of the world, but mostly through natural means; this is the reason why miracles are rare.

The most powerful tool to protect ourselves and our children is information. Making "drugs" illegal only creates a greater threat for the users than the harmful potential of most substances. By making the subject a taboo, children are often completely uninformed about the real short and longer term effect of different substances. "Drugs" are considered generally bad, so most of them are put in the same category without making clear that most of those substances are very different from each other, create very different behavior and long term effects.
Here we share diverse information on all the general information about the most popular and widespread substances. The only way to do the right choice is to have information !

The amount of ideas I have for this story... I know I should continue previous chapters, but then something like this wiggles its way into my mind and oh well here we are. I am always looking for ideas for future oneshots!
"Oi, Alfons! Headed to the market- y'need anything?"
"Could you pick up a loaf of bread for dinner tonight?" Alfons tried not to lose his entire train of thought.
"Yeah, okay. How's the big report coming, anyway?" Each of the scientists at the lab were required to submit a yearly summation of what they'd been researching. Being the absolute chemistry genius that he was, Edward had breezed through his own writing (mentioning something about having to write a "freaking crap ton" of long reports for a past job). Alfons, on the other hand, was not quite as gifted.
"Fine- hey, before you leave, what'd you do with my copy of The Mars Project? I need a reference for this damn paper."
"Oh, uh, it's in my room somewhere, I think. You're free to look around. Soon as I get back I'll find it, but the market closes at sundown, so if you wanna eat tonight..."
"Ja, I think I can work around it."
"In that case, I'll be off. See ya in a bit." Alfons raised his had as a farewell, not wanting to ruin his own focus by speaking.
It was probably bad to admit, but in moments like these, Alfons enjoyed the peace and silence that came with having the apartment to himself. But he could've been in the most calm, serene environment ever and still not been able to focus. Without that book, this report wasn't going to go anywhere.
Sighing, Alfons got up from the desk and made his way to Edward's room.
For a crazy scientist- especially one with a personality like Edward's, his room was fairly nondescript. Nothing on the walls- just a bed, a dresser, a bookshelf and his desk, with a door that led to a tiny closet. The problem was the things within the furniture. Books were piled by his bedside, papers overflowed from the desk and dresser drawers, and rolls and rolls of plans and blueprints were messily stacked in a corner. It was a wonder Edward had anywhere to put his clothing.
Alfons shuffled into the room, already exasperated with its untidiness. This book hunt was going to take longer than initially thought.
Thinking that the piles of books would be the best place to start, he searched through every one. No sign of the one he'd been looking for. Nothing on top of the dresser, nor on the desk, the drawers of which were much too stuffed with crumpled papers and hastily scribbled notes to ever be able to fit a hardback book.
While Ed's sense of organization seemed skewed at first glance, there was definitely some sort of method to the madness. Believe it or not, it seemed Edward had actually sorted and filed everything in some sort of systematic pattern that Alfons couldn't figure out. Now it was just up to Alfons to figure out where the book was.
"If I was Edward," he muttered to himself, "where would I put that damned book?" He sifted through the rest of the books by the bed, making absolutely sure none of them were the one Alfons was wanting.
At this point, Alfons felt slightly guilty. To Edward, privacy was crucial, and though Ed had given him permission to look for the text... it still made Alfons feel like a snoop. But the thought of tomorrow's deadline in his mind overrode Alfons's usual sense of respect for others' property. Besides, Alfons already knew about Ed's odd robot arms and all. What else could the foreigner possibly have to hide?
Reaffirmed with said mindset, Alfons opened the closet door. Still more books, a pair of winter boots, Edward's old research notebooks which had already been filled with pages of notes. Only Ed's brown coat and a suit jacket hung on the rod in the closet, and Alfons could see the trunk (filled with prosthetics and repair tools, no doubt) hidden away in the back corner of the closet.
Now Alfons was starting to become exasperated. He checked under all the furniture, beneath the blanket of research on Ed's desk, even read the titles of every single text stacked on the bookshelf (and there were a lot). He ran a hand through his now-unkempt hair. The only place left unsearched was the dresser, which should only hold clothing... right?
Knowing Edward, of course not. Alfons opened the top of the three drawers. It held a stack of envelopes and stamps, some blank paper scraps, three pairs of socks, and two individual socks that didn't match. No Mars Project, unfortunately.
The second drawer seemed to actually bemused for its intended purpose. Shirts, pants, and sweaters, messily folded but nonetheless stacked in three piles. Alfons was about to close the drawer when a flash of silver caught his eye.
He'd waited in line at the bookstore for hours in order to get an advanced copy of The Mars Project- a hardback copy with silver inlay on the spine. Hell, that particular book was probably one of the most expensive ones he owned. But why would Ed place it underneath such a large pile of clothing?
Brushing the shirts off to the side of the drawer, Alfons breathed a sigh of relief. He'd finally found his book.
Oh, wait.
Sitting, hidden beneath Ed's clothing, was a silver pocket watch.
Feelings of possible guilt were overridden with curiosity. Edward himself had said that he'd come to Germany with nothing but the clothes on his back. So where did something like this come from? A gift from the father Ed didn't like to talk about? Something he'd managed to pick up?
Alfons examined the watch more closely. A Lion-ish design was imprinted on the front, and from what Alfons knew of rare metals (which wasn't much), both the watch and the chain appeared to be pure silver. This thing was probably worth more than everything else Edward owned.
If he had something this nice, why was it inconspicuously hidden in the drawer of his dresser? Was he afraid it would be stolen? Alfons had been about to buy him a wristwatch for Christmas, since Edward was always so keen on knowing the time. So why was such a nice watch not in use?
Alfons attempted to open it, to check the time himself, but it seemed the thing didn't want to budge. He looked at where he assumed the clasp was, only to find it had been... welded shut? That certainly didn't make sense. Whoever had welded the thing must have been a master: the two edges of the watch seemed to be stuck together almost seamlessly.
Giving a final, half-hearted pull at it, the weld on the watch appeared to crumble before Alfons's eyes, almost as if it had lost the will to hold the thing together. The lid of the watch swung open with a creak.
The hands on the thing weren't running (maybe that was why Ed didn't use it), but turning the thing in his hands, Alfons couldn't seem to find where you could open the watch in order to repair it. The make of the thing was obviously something foreign.
At last, feelings of guilt washed over Alfons. He shouldn't be doing this. Ed's business was not meant for Alfons to snoop into. He was about to close the watch again and stow it away when he saw an engraving on the inside of the lid.
It looked like someone had taken a penknife to the lid. There were some words in a language that wasn't German, as well as numbers. 3 and 11. Odd.
The door to the apartment opened with a loud noise, causing Alfons to almost jump out of his skin.
"Hey, I got the bread and some sausage... Alfons? Where are you?"
"Oh, uh, in your room. Just looking for my book." He shoved the watch back under the shirts and closed the drawer loudly before coming back into the living room. "Are you sure it's in there?"
"Actually, now that I think about it, it may be by the sofa. Here, let's eat, and then we'll look for it. A long day of reports really works up an appetite, doesn't it?" Ed laughed, oblivious to Alfons's discovery. "D'you want me to cook?"
"I think we both know that we'd die of food poisoning. Here, give me the groceries, I'll heat something up."
The smell of sausage frying in a pan was making his mouth water, but, in the deepest corners of his mind, Alfons couldn't forget about that pocket watch. He made a note to ask Ed about it, as soon as he could find the right time.
So I made this report thing sound like the State Alchemist yearly exam... not intended, but I think it's ironic.
In case you're confused: the "weld" on the watch broke because in this world, alchemy doesn't exist, so the alchemy holding the watch together was extremely weak- weak enough to break under Alfons's pulling.
Ohmygod so in order to refresh my mind on the details of the ending of the first anime (to make sure what I said in this chapter was technically feasible with the plot of the anime) I decided to watch the last episode again and what have I done to myself this is not okay.


text: If the economy really is deteriorating as many fear, then there are numerous sectors poised to take even more hits. In particular, firms with peripheral exposure to the real estate market -- namely office furniture makers, building material suppliers, and construction firms -- face significant hurdles. And within these groups are three names to avoid: HNI ( HNI), Vulcan Materials ( VMC), and Perini ( PCR). The overall bearish theme is that these sectors are hurt in a slowing economy as office vacancies rise, commercial construction starts fall, and government spending on transportation infrastructure weakens. While these stocks are at or near 52-week lows because of their close ties to the real estate slump, they haven't been truly hammered like other sectors, such as the homebuilders. The stocks also aren't heavily shorted yet -- with each carrying a short interest of less than 12% of the float. So hedge funds are looking at these names as the next popular shorts. The companies either declined to comment for this story or could not be reached for comment.

Roederer Estate Brut
Non-Vintage Sparkling Wine from Anderson Valley, Mendocino, California
Winemaker's Notes
Roederer Estate Brut, the first California sparkling wine produced by Champagne Louis Roederer, builds upon a 200-year tradition of fine winemaking that has made Roederer champagne among the most sought-after in the world.
Roederer's winemaking style is based on two elements: ownership of its own vineyards and the addition of oak-aged reserve wines to each year's blend or cuvee. All the grapes for the Anderson Valley wines are grown on the Estate.
Each year, the winemaker selects a portion of the best wines for aging in Center of France oak casks. Aged from one to three years, wines from this reserve cellar are added to the blend, creating a multi-vintage cuvee in the traditional Roederer style, known for its body, finesse and depth of flavor.
The Roederer Estate Brut debuted in October 1988, and has since established its reputation as one of California's premier sparklers, remaining true to the heritage of excellence and style of its French forebears.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "A voluptuous and expressive sparkler, with floral red apple, brioche and cinnamon spice aromas and rich, vibrant flavors that finish on a luxurious note."
Wine Enthusiast - "The fruit flavors are apparent, fresh and lively in this medium-bodied, beautifully balanced brut. Light pear and pineapple aromas are followed by richer pear and citrus flavors, and subtle hints of baking spices, almonds and a nice earthy touch emerge."
Wilfred Wong of Wine.com - "The Roederer Estate Brut has always garnered a special place amongst the folks in the wine trade. This is my go-to bubbly from anywhere in the New World and often in place of higher price bubblies from France and Italy. Yes, this one is as solid as they come. Medium straw color, refined beads; excellent aroma of ripe apples and light creaminess, maybe even a hint of hazelnut; medium bodied, delicately layered on the palate, excellent structure; dry, fine acidity, well balanced; complex flavors of ripe apples and cream; medium to long finish, fine nuances in the aftertaste. (Tasted: August 11, 2015, San Francisco, CA)"
Connoisseurs' Guide - "Year and year out, the Roederer Estate Brut ranks high on the list of preferred non-vintage Brut bottlings and, in this outing, impresses more than usual. It is vibrant and fresh and unstinting in autolyzed richness all at once, and it is as impeccably balanced as it is deep and continuous in flavor. Its wonderfully refined, terrifically sustained mousse heightens its sensations of brightness and youthful vigor, and it shows the complexity and crafting of a wine that we would guess costs far more than it does."
Decanter - "I would happily drink this wine every day if there weren't so many other wines in the world to taste. Its wonderful play of creamy yet kinetic textures, the custardy, limey flavours, and its impeccable focus all add up to one of the best ways possible to greet 6pm after a long work day. Roederer Estate was, in my opinion, the first California sparkling producer to achieve complexity in its wines – especially in the estate's prestige cuvée, L'Ermitage. The Brut (sold as Quartet in the UK) is generally 60% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir. "

About North CoastView a map of North Coast wineries
Beyond Napa and Sonoma in the north you find a couple of other counties producing great wine. Among these are Mendocino and Lake County. The northernmost California winegrowing regions, these two counties are right above Napa and Sonoma, geographically. Yet, wine-wise they are very different – both from their southern neighbors and from each other.
Notable FactsMendocino has a high amount of organic vintners and vines. The first winery to settle here was Fetzer, which practices organic viticulture and holds some of the most vineyard land in the area. Mendocino has many pockets of micro-climates while Lake County, being smaller in size, is less diverse climactically. As for the grapes, Chardonnay is the most popular in both counties, but there are also some excellent Sauvignon Blancs, particularly in the Lake County. In red wine, Zinfandel leads the way, followed by Rhone Blends and Petite Sirah. The reds in both counties are complex and sumptuous. Anderson Valley is a sub-AVA of Mendicino and is quite well known for its excellent cool climate, producing the delicious Roederer Estate sparkling wines and some wonderful cool-climate Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country unto itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Cadence Design Systems, GmbH (NASDAQ: CDNS), the leader in global electronic-design innovation, announced that three additional universities will take on active roles in its academic network in Europe. The network promotes the proliferation of leading-edge technologies and methodologies at universities renowned for their engineering and design excellence. The latest additions to the Cadence® Academic Network are the CETTI/TU Bucharest, which will focus on PCB design; the KTH Stockholm, which will concentrate on wireless radio design; and the TU Braunschweig, with the focus on digital low power design methodology.
Each university focuses on a specific design domain so that the entire design cycle is covered among network participants. Existing participants are the TU Ilmenau/IMMS (radio frequency), the University of Freiburg (analog/mixed signal), the University of Bristol (advanced verification methodology), and the University of Heidelberg (advanced SoC verification).
Acknowledging the increasing need for the semiconductor industry to hire graduates with deployable design skills, Cadence provides design methodologies and a forum for networking where universities share their knowledge and best practices with other academic and research institutions. Trained on the most advanced design automation software available today (distributed by the EUROPRACTICE program, managed by STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory), students graduate with an in-depth knowledge of how to address today's pressing design issues.
"The academic network from Cadence is unique in its approach," said Prof. Dr. Ralf Sommer of TU Ilmenau. "Using leading-edge methodologies, our students are now well-equipped to research new solutions that tackle the most advanced design demands presented by the industry. For example, managers from a leading German foundry recently hired trainees from our university and were enthusiastic about the practical skills they had acquired during their academic training."
"One of the benefits of the Cadence Academic Network is that our teaching is supported by the latest electronic design and verification tools and methodologies," said Dr. Kerstin Eder, University of Bristol, UK. "This gives our students a competitive edge in the job market. Many of the students who graduated last year have now been recruited into the local microelectronic design industry. We started using Cadence's SoC Functional Verification Kit, which provides a realistic example of an SoC design for teaching, research and student projects. In that way, our entire microelectronic activity is supported by state-of-the-art technology and methodologies."
Prof. Dr. Paul Svasta from CETTI/TU Bucharest said, "With our participation in the academic network, we look forward to sharing experiences with fellow universities and acquiring expertise in education, training and research. By offering practical training, we hope to stimulate the interest of students to participate in innovative CAD activities associated with research and development of electronic products."
Recognizing a sustained interest from the industry and academia, Cadence will host again an academic track at its annual user conference, CDNLive! EMEA (Munich, May 4-6, 2010).
