Surviving Sunday: Packers News, Notes and Links for the Football Deprived
Forgive me, Packers fans, I'm about to stick up for the Chicago Bears.
(*The author pauses for a moment to put on his bullet-proof vest, change the locks on his home, and take a deep breath*)
I have no problem with the Bears one year, $2 million contract offer to Brian Urlacher. I'm actually insulted that Urlacher called the offer "insulting."
Football is a business. Good teams make roster decisions not to reward once-great players or keep local heroes around to appease the fanbase. Football has been trying to teach us this lesson over and over again, but most people will never learn it, or simply refuse to even try to learn it.
Urlacher was a free agent for the first time in 13 seasons. He'll be 35 years old in May and he missed the last month of the 2012 season with a hamstring injury.
In the 12 games that Urlacher did play, Pro Football Focus graded him out positively in only three of them. He finished with an overall season grade of -11.3. Pro Football Focus is not the be-all, end-all of player evaluation, but from what I saw of Urlacher in 2012, a -11.3 seemed generous. I thought he was slow and a shadow of his former self.
Does a $2 million contract offer for a once-great, but now aging player coming off an injury and likely on the downswing of his career really sound that insulting to you?

Decade of Destiny is Saddleback Church's 10-year vision that focuses on moving the church forward in helping you and your family succeed in the areas of physical, financial, relational, emotional, mental, vocational and spiritual health. It is your church in action. "Without vision the people perish." (Prov. 29:18)
Click here to listen to the entire Decade of Destiny Vision Rally with Pastor Rick to learn how you can fulfill your God-given destiny and the Saddleback family's destiny together.
The videos below contain updates from the Saddleback leadership team. Hear from some of our pastors as they describe the amazing things God has done in our community during the first year of Decade of Destiny.
Giving to Decade of Destiny3-Year Commitment1-Time Gift
Your giving in this first three-year phase of the Decade of Destiny fund will be used to:
Your Health Are you ready to get physically healthier TOGETHER? We've teamed up with three leading medical professionals – Dr. Mehmet Oz, Dr. Daniel Amen, and Dr. Mark Hyman for the Daniel Challenge. Starting this January, they'll help energize us with a comprehensive fitness and wellness program. And this is just the beginning!
Your RelationshipsOur goal is to enrich your life, family, and other relationships by using our new Rancho Capistrano campus as a retreat center. We'll use this beautiful place to reduce your stress, focus your life, and grow your career and family. Our hope is that you experience the presence of God in that peaceful setting.
Your Career DevelopmentWe want you to go into the next decade equipped with tools and learning skills that will enable you in your career or in your endeavors to obtain a new career.
Your FinancesBe committed to making 2011 your year to become financially free. We'll be offering more classes, workshops, and counseling to help you get out of debt and manage your money for the future.
MentoringOur goal is to empower our first generation to mentor our second generation.
Church PlantingWe have always been strategic in what cities we plant new Saddlebacks. And now, we plan on going national and global! We are looking at Paris, Tokyo, and other strategic cities around the world.
Upgrade and Expand TechnologyIn order to keep afloat in this ever-evolving technological world, we need to upgrade some of our technology, while also investing in new screens, cameras, and a mobile studio that will provide HD quality video from any campus.
P E A C EAlthough we've reached an incredible PEACE goal this year, there are still people in need of the Good News. We are going to the last unreached people groups in the world. There are 3600 people groups without a single church. Saddleback hopes to give them one.
Another Worship CenterThis new 1,000 seat venue will be utilized throughout the week as well as on the weekend. It will be located centrally on our Lake Forest campus, allowing for better parking access and shorter distances to our children's and student areas.
A PEACE CenterTo make it even more convenient to reach out to those in need, we're going to house all of our compassion services at one location at the Lake Forest Campus: the food bank, free clinic, car repair, counseling, thrift store, and bookstore.
A Training CenterWe're going to train members, church planters, worship leaders, and second career staff to be a part of church planting teams through a new academy at Rancho Capistrano.
Worship Centers For Our CampusesAs we seek to enlarge our church family by opening new Saddleback campuses; we want them to have a place of worship. Half of the Decade of Destiny offering given at each regional campus will go to building fund accounts for each particular campus.

Three years ago I got employed at the company I am working for at the moment as a software developer. The company is an ERP solutions provider in the finance, procurement and logistics industry. I performed my job description with excellent results and got good recognition.
About two years ago I had an idea on implementing an SIS for education institutions. At that time when we presented ideas to the CEO. The CEO watered down the idea and said it was not within what the company was doing. Some of the other ideas went through and got factored into RND budgets.
I began developing the system individually (without company assistance) and above my normal workload, I still am the sole product development, engineer, tester for the solution till this day. Now that the solution has taken shape, the CEO is interested in it and has thrown me all this "work for hire" stories to shrink my clout. But am not taking non of that.
We are at a point of inflection as a company due to limited resources. Where restructuring is inevitable. The CEO is now receptive to the idea of a Revenue Share Agreement as we are in agreement that the business derived from the solution should be handled differently.
Both sides me & CEO know the cards we have. My side: I have created the solution I have the blue print of the whole solution coming up with idea, actioned the idea, did initial marketing by creating a website and brochure to define what the business will be. On CEO side he has me as an employee. The company now has thrown full weight to this effort.
If we were to share on revenues what would be the most fair percentage that I am entitled to?

Question by Kamal 27215 · Nov 11 '11 at 03:40 AM · balls inflatables liver chocolate coconut
Quick question about my balls.
I've got three at the moment. One inflatable ball that I keep at the office and haven't used in forever, one that I have at home and use very sporadically to toss around, and one from a set of those little Chinese exercise balls used for relaxation. Balls are truly amazing things, and I feel like I am under-utilizing mine. How do you use balls? Do you exercise with medicine balls? De-stress by tossing one against the wall, like House MD? Anything I'm missing from the wide world of balls?
And on a very distantly related note, do you ever form random foods into balls? Like rice balls, ground liver balls, coconut balls, dark chocolate balls, etc etc?
There was a vote to close this question. Please folks, keep your answers on topic. If you answer without mentioning either balls or nutsacks, I might have to delete your answer. We have to keep the ball+nutsack to noise ratio high.

I've always been told that the balls should not be neglected, although it's easy to forget to play with them when distracted by other activities. But I know that playing with balls develops joint strength, while also increasing power, and especially speed. But that increase in speed sometimes comes at a cost to the snatch, which should not be rushed but done in a smooth, continuous motion.
Since I don't have balls of my own, but use my husband's instead, I confess I don't know the effect of ball play on the clean & jerk, but perhaps some of the power lifters here with balls of their own can chime in on that.

PUFAs have been know to thwart the ancestral condition of strong ball skills. Problems with transcription factors involved in ATP synthetase pathways and mitochondrial telomere density fructose sometimes inhibit reward motivating tendencies. In short, this report has been about Brazil.
Answer by jesuisjuba - paleorepublic.com 20476 · Nov 11 '11 at 03:39 PM
How fortuitous that this question is posted as I just happened to be playing with balls since early this morning! A wide variety of shapes and sizes for my choosing, it was just a matter of selection.
I definitely warmed up with small so there wouldn't be any range of motion issues and then it was just making sure my hands weren't too cold to handle the next size, didn't want to have any problems establishing contact. I decided that about a 30% increase from last time sounded about right to effectively work my arms, core, legs, and back.
It's truly amazing what balls can do for someone, they really provide an outstanding dimension of functional training that will prepare the body for movements made in everyday life.
Basically I'm just an equal opportunity ball handler. Lacrosse, Slam, Medicine, Nut, Yaki Onigiri.

I've been thinking about getting rid of my front door so that I can roll a giant stone ball in front of the opening like our paleo ancestors probably did (according to cartoons.)
Ball tip: I recently learned of a woman who was able to unlearn her southern accent by keeping her mouth filled with marbles when she spoke.

Balls. Balls. Balls.
All the live long day it's balls in my life.
Yoga/Swiss balls. I've got two. Bought them whilst prego and needing a place to sit that didn't make my butt hurt like hell. It worked. Also they were great for bouncing on while in labor. Now, I just throw them at my 22 month old. He loves it.
I have a medicine ball but it's too heavy for me to throw. But it's so nice and solid that I've started using it for thoracic mobilization stuff. Also rolling on it along my IT band makes me want to scream, but works the kinks out like a charm.
I use tennis balls for muscle release. Use one of those on your piriformis or your quadratus lumborum and you'll be screaming for your mommy!:)
Finally the good ol' golf ball. So small, but so hard. Great for foot massage. Step on one and roll it around your foot for a while. You can write me a check for that advice once you awaken from your blissful stupor!
Balls. I love 'em. I use 'em. You could say I am a ball a·fi·ci·o·na·do!

As a male, I never like to see the word "hack" and "balls" used in the same sentence. The image is painful.
Answer by gydle 5076 · Nov 11 '11 at 08:29 AM
Balls are great in a massage context. I use a lacrosse ball for my plantar fascia, for example. Perhaps a mouth-sized ball, like a golf ball, could be used as a snack-avoidance mechanism. Even though I live in Switzerland, I haven't got myself any Swiss balls yet. My husband's American set is still in great shape.
Answer by Chickenosaurus Rex 3299 · Nov 11 '11 at 07:26 PM
There's a reason nature does not make soap bubbles shaped like a cube. A sphere is smooth, strong, and challenging. It can keep rolling, even when kicked. Just be careful not to deflate your balls and they'll serve you well for many years. Last but not least, let us not forget the Hairy Ball Theorem from Algebraic Topology!

Repopulating my name list - suggestions?
I've recently fallen in the love with the name Calvin, which may or may not have something to do with my rereading of the Time Quintet. The problem is that Calvin goes with nothing on my original list, and over the past week or two I've tossed aside the entire list in hopes of finding some viable sibling names. Nothing works. Nothing feels right. They're all either too old-fashioned or too modern or just don't sound like siblings.
So what I'm asking is this: can you think of any names that go with Calvin? Middle names, sibling names, anything. Seriously. Any answer would be of tremendous help.

My suggestion would be look back at the social security data for when that name was at its peak and check out the other names around it. You can also work backward from nick names. Do you like Cal as a nn? Other similar nns would be Ned, Sam, Ted, Bo, etc. I think there's a list or blog post about vintage nick names that might give you some ideas for full name options.

Mommy to Everett Callan, born 2010 and Callie Sage Eilonwy, born 2013
and 2 fur babies: a male standard poodle named Shasta, and a female Australian shepherd named Scout.

I've also come to appreciate the somewhat old-fashioned, somewhat quirky, (somewhat Kevin-y) Calvin.
Names that might just go with Calvin are...
Alden, Xavier, Miles, Dean, Lawrence, Zander, Byron, Oscar, Everett, Malcolm
Roxanne, Vera, Martha, Cora, Audrey, Ada, Celia, Alice, Celeste
Another (very different) Cal name I quite like is Callum.Engaged, and dreaming...
Vera, June, Nora, Cordelia, Flora, Greta, Eleanor, Matilda, Meredith, Elisabeth, Louisa, Maisie, Ada, Agatha, Stella, Maggie, Calla, Catherine...
Edwin, Frederick, Calvin, Glen, Simon, Callum, Rowan, Arthur, Adrian, Walter, Winston, Declan, Keith, Robert...

Calvin is very vintage to me. These would be my suggestions, that I think would all work today in the modern world:
G: Violet, Alice, Clara, Amelia, Lillian/Liliana, Phoebe, Rose/Rosa, Arianne, Florence, Eva/Evelyn, Eleanor, Hazel, Genevieve, Iris, Willa, Lena, Natalie, Nora, Penelope
B: Finley, Henry, Jonah, Julian, Maxwell, Arthur, Elijah, Micah, Edward, Samuel, Lucas, Benjamin/Bennett, Elliot, Leo, Oscar, Rafferty, Dorian, Thomas, Otto
My top choices would be:
Calvin & Alice
Calvin & Eleanor
Calvin & Hazel
Calvin & Micah
Calvin & Edward
Calvin & Oscar

My research interests involve connecting the history of philosophy, especially Hegel, with contemporary ethical and political theory. To bridge these two spheres, I focus on the concept of "practical identity," a term used to describe the commitments we make that inform our ethical lives. I am especially interested in the ethical nature of our inherited commitments, including family relations, nationality, and race. In "Hegel on Political Identity" (Northwestern University Press, 2011), I use Hegel's philosophy to consider the meaning of patriotism as a component of practical identity both historically and in contemporary society. In my current manuscript project, I explore what Hegel's theory of aesthetics can teach us about agency and practical identity. I am especially interested in how comedy as an art form reveals assumptions we make about our identities and the communities that shape them.

Our collection of lingo, jargon, and technical mumbo jumbo is a foreign language to our customers. The sooner you can quit speaking to your customers using this foreign language the more successful you will be.Let's take a look at search engine optimization (SEO), which—in everyday English—is understanding how your customers are trying to find you and making that search as easy for them as possible. You want to avoid losing a customer or having them go to a competitor because he/she couldn't find you. To capitalize on SEO, it is important to understand the answers to three key questions:
1. What is a search engine?
2. What is a keyword?
3. What can I do to help people find me?
What's a Search Engine?
A search engine is a program that searches the Web for data, organizes and indexes the data, and makes that data accessible when someone enters a query. Oftentimes a search engine is referred to as a spider, and those spiders go by many names: Google, Yahoo! Search, Bing, and Ask are some of the more recognizable ones.
The key to success with search engines and making sure a client can find you is using proper keywords. If you aren't using proper keywords, your client may have to sift through unnecessary information. A recent Google search of "How to use a search engine" produced well over 53 million hits. I encourage you to type "printing company" into Google. I believe you'll understand why it is so important to communicate the right way with customers.
What Are Keywords & Which Ones Do I Use?
At this moment, one of your customers may be accessing a search engine, asking: "Help me find what I'm looking for." No one is there to tell your customer what words to enter that will best pinpoint their needs, so your customers are entering words that they believe are appropriate. The challenge is that your customers are not educated in the world of printing, and words they use to describe your services are quite different than what you use. The words that your customer uses are what we refer to as keywords.
You want to prevent lost opportunities—that is, the future clients you never meet—that use a completely different set of keywords than you do, because you speak a different language. Your customer is searching for the term red flag and you are frantically waving a burgundy banner in vain. Using keywords on your website and in all marketing pieces is absolutely critical to your success.
Back to our friend the spider. The spider looks for whatever it is told to look for. As it scours the Web for any and all information related to your customer's search request, it pulls in the keywords your customer or prospect entered.
The most effective keywords are basic, they are simply the names of the products you make in the way your client thinks about them. What you do, what you make, what services you provide. Finish it, put it in a box, and wrap it up—that thing in the box is your keyword. And for every four-color, tri-fold in the box, there are about a dozen names it goes by out in the non-printing world. It's a brochure, a pamphlet, a hand-out, a bag stuffer, a mailer, and so forth. Those words—call them layman's words—are the best keywords money can buy. By the way, you can take these and use them in your marketing.
There are numerous resources available to you to help determine the best keywords. Google Adwords and Google WonderWheel are two Web-based tools you may want to consider. It's easy enough to open up Google, type in those keywords and click through their "getting started" and "step-by-step" pages. Very quickly, you will learn how your clients and potential customers are navigating your website and the websites of your competitors.

Sir and Star at the Olema
Online Reservations
Artistic preparation of locally grown ingredients with a wine list of Marin vintners marks this restaurant as a great getaway. Near Pt Reyes Station, treat yourself to a great dining experience.
New tastes, lovely setting, wonderful West County showcase....
Food Quality Comparable To restaurant at MankaS, very Creative And delicious.
Four of us, all great eaters, etc., tried the Sat Night Tasting menu. ALL very well done, and took all of 3 hours to get fed. We like the ambience, the decorating, the menu, but the only area where things faltered, was in the service. We'll go back for the al a carte menu, not the pri fix menu.
I never made it to Manka's before the fire, but had enjoyed several meals at the Olema Inn. I was eager to see the re-vamp. A group of three omnivores and a vegetarian went on a Saturday night for the five course prix fixe... There were vegetarian options for all courses, and both "sides" enjoyed it all. We all noted that we appreciated the portion sizes - not skimpy by any means, but we did not leave feeling over-full (and we eagerly anticipated the arrival of each course rather than dreading the last few as can happen in a long multi-course affair). The service was accommodating and friendly but a bit rough around the edges (e.g. plates stacked at the table, etc.). All in all an enjoyable experience.
We had been going to Manka's for years and were so sad when we learned that it burned down. We were excited to learn that, after over a decade, the new restaurant was finally open. The duck "faux" gras was amazing. The albacore tuna was delicious beyond words, the quail was also perfect. Imaginative, perfectly balanced flavors. The service was attentive, well-timed and knowledgeable without being stuffy. Our meal was perfect, the setting quite lovely.
We made reservations here for our anniversary and the food did not disappoint. Delicate and flavorful courses. The wine list is heavy on Pinot noir and not many whites, which was sad. Service was slow, which might have been due to only 2 waitstaff for two busy sections of the restaurant.
Good food, attentive service, nice place to take our-of-townerrs.
We had the tasting menu and liked all the courses except the sardine. The soups and the main course (pork 3 ways) were all very good. We found the service to be quite good and our only complaint would be the noise generated by a large group was not pleasant--but what is a restaurant to do with slightly boorish guests?!? Will definitely return when in the area again.
Great food, wonderful work on renovating this location. It is very loud since there are hardwood floors and no wall coverings. We had a table for five and we had to really raise our voices to be heard. The wine list is good but it's priced for Larry Ellison.
The plates are small but artfully presented. The food is all locally sourced in West Marin, including wines, which makes for a limited wine list. The atmosphere is spare but in a 19th century building facing a garden setting, colors subdued. Service is very good. Menus have plays on words, so humor is not lacking. Understated all around. Prices not unreasonable for the quality.
We tried Sir and Star after it got excellent reviews in the SF Chron. Since we dined on Saturday evening, the only option was the prix fixe menu. The food was exquisite. The sequence and development of the meal was outstanding. None of the dishes felt out of place. We had the beef for the main and it was perfectly prepared. The dessert capped the experience perfectly. The room is lovely and warm and inviting. Our server was attentive and friendly but not over-bearing. Would certainly come again.
The food and service was extraordinary. I think the prices very reasonable. Service very good. A very minimal environment and impersonal room. Would not recommend for a romantic evening but excellent for any other occasion. I will return.
Wonderful combination of fresh local products combined with a creative use of seasonings. Attentive low key service with a fairly priced wine list. The menu is constantly changing depending on the fresh products available. Pleasant atmosphere-all in all a very pleasant dining experience.
Our meal was wonderful, the service was excellent and the space beautifully redesigned. Our only problem was the limited choice of deserts.
My husband and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary at Sir and Star - the best meal we've **Ever** had! Seriously. They source their food fresh within 10 miles of the restaurant so the menu will never be repeated - amazing. Salmon that melted in my mouth - 'our bacon' that was sinful -- they even served soft-serve ice cream from a cow milked the same-day!!! Unreal. Fabulous service. Beautiful old-world candelabras. We'll be back again and again.
The restaurant, in its smart new coat of black paint with bright piles of pumpkins on the front porch, is beautiful. Inside the decor is simple and warm. The dining room is devoid of color, so that the arriving food takes center stage. ...and the food is amazing. We chose the "Oh Yes", a 5 course meal chosen by the chef (well priced at $45), each of them a stunner. Highliting Marin farmers, Marin vintners and cheesemakers, along with finds from the sea near Bolinas, the entire meal was intensely flavorful and inspired. I won't describe the food, go for yourself and see.... but I will say that their soft-serve ice cream drizzled with McEvoy olive oil and sea salt was the most unexpected and wonderful flavor bomb I've had in some time...
What an amazing experience. We did the set Saturday night menu. The food was so creative and delicious. The décor was just beautiful. This was pricey, but worth it.
So smooth the service was almost choreographed perfection. Friendly attentive and on it without hovering. And every dish made us sigh at the flavors. Wonderful experience! Beautiful setting.
As soon as you step into the Olema Inn you feel the magic. Sparse decor, yet elegant. You can feel the spirit of the Earth here. Everything we ordered was exceptional in flavor, texture and creativity. This is the comforting meal you dream of having when dining out. A special gem in the wilderness.
Beginning with the menu, the entire experience was excellent: food, service, ambiance and personal attention - wish I could be there every single week!
My newest best restaurant ....worth the trip up from SF!!!! Everything about this place is a delight on the senses. A not to be missed if you are in the general area But better yet, make a reservation and plan a drive up on scenic route 1 . You will not be disappointed in the drive or anything about Sir and Star!
The food was very good, but surprisingly heavy for a gourmet restaurant with the wonderful folks from Manka's. My pumpkin soup was way too rich, the kale and broccoli was covered in sauce to the point you couldn't taste the vegetables, the quail was nice but the stuffing too rich. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing....Ambiance and service was outstanding. I will be back!
We had the O Yes $45 chef's surprise (omakase) - 5 courses, some of which were on the a la carte and some not. Faux Gras of Local Duck Livers, as everyone says, was delicious, but mainly because of the pairing with a wine jelly, so a bit like peanut butter and jelly, good contrast of textures and tastes. High point though was a whole deep fried petrale sole. It was arched, mouth reaching back almost biting its tail, as though leaping out of the ocean. A simple take on those haute cuisine fishy images you see of elaborately contorted and decorated fish leaping off the plate. This was a whimsical fish and chips. Simple, cooked to perfection, so you could taste the sweet mildness of petrale. Crowned with a few slices of briny pickled seaweed.
Turned up on time for our reservation. Waited 25 mins to be seated. The ticked for our order got lost which meant we waited another 50 mins total until our good arrived. When it did the food was awesome and they tried hard to make things better with a visit from thd chef and free deserts / coffee. All seemed like a genuine mix up and would give them another chance to try their food again!
I am 70 years old, have traveled the world and have eaten at most of the world's top 25 restaurants. I'm a foodie. However, my meal at Sir & Star was probably one of the best in my life. While the ingredients in each dish were familiar, they were cooked ( or not) and presented in such a manner that it was like eating them for the first time. And the service and atmosphere were perfect and comfortable. The price point was also amazing, as I would have expected to pay double what we did. I'll never forget that meal and am lucky to be in the area long enough to return for a 2nd meal later this week.
I loved every bite. Local food prepared with culinary excellence.
Really kind and intelligent servers . Good music . Artistic minimal décor . The food seems so fresh and healthy and delicious . We were there on Halloween night . This is like the Chez Panisse of Tomales Bay . We were very happy with the whole experience.
Celebrating our 39th anniversary with a close friend was made most enjoyable by dining at Sir and Star. There was nothing wrong about the evening. The setting, the food, the service made for a memorable experience. Makes one proud to be " a hippie from Olema".
We started w/ the faux grax which was delish! The prix fixed meal itself was: 1) Have a ball - chicken pot pie in a dumpling/croquete - soooo good 2) smoked sable fish - very tasty 3) onion soup - so simple but so flavorful 4) cauliflower - good but a bit pedestrian 5) bouillabaisse - not a fan - too veggie 6) cheese trio - very good 7) vanilla bean ice cream w/ caramel and cookies - good
a liitle gem in the olema area. Always a pleasure to experience great food and great ambience which comes from the care and creativity of the owners.
It's almost impossible to find on a dark, windy night. ... Poor signage. Large, rather cold rooms and lots of windows - but almost no decor ( oh yes, simple candelabras in the corners). The host/chef was quite cordial. With a long menu, our favorite was the faux grax. Thankfully all food is $20 or less, so it's easy to select several items. Our two hour visit ended on a sour note: our waiter disappeared for the last 45 minutes, and several staff decided to rearrange tables and chairs All around us. Oops, did I do something to offend you?
The space is beautiful. Rustic while a bit grand with soaring ceilings, locally spun linen, health ceramics. The food is stunning, local, imaginative, made with enormous talent and pride. This is an artist who celebrates everything true and good about Marin.
The setting is lovely at Sir and Star, and the food is outstanding. However, a few criticisms: the menu tries too hard to be cute or clever, and the service is several steps below professional. When my wife told our waiter that she couldn't eat a certain food, instead of suggesting a substitute, he said, bluntly, "why?" Still, on balance, a big addition to the Point Reyes area; we'll go back.
The food was the best! Service was excellent and the wine we chose almost at random was delicious. It was an intriguing bonus to learn that all the food and wine are locally produced.
Because we had reservations for a Saturday night we were forced to eat the Chef's menu - five courses and way more than I would normally order. But I wouldn't have missed a single bite. The parsnip soup was perhaps the best soup I've ever tasted. The halibut second course was perfect in a wonderful sauce. One person had the vegetable bouillabaisse which she said was exceptional and the rest of us had the pig with pumpkin which was also wonderful. This was followed by a cauliflower dish with local Toma which was wonderful and then the dessert of brown butter cake with cinnamon apples which was divine. The service was top notch.
Sir and Star attracted us with their quirky menu-- the food is not so quirky, though it is creative, but the way that it is presented on the menu is entertaining. The food followed through. We shared a number of dishes and they didn't disappoint. Highlight was a dish of chanterelles, some other 'shrooms, and cauliflower. Unbeatable. The service was reliable and fun, despite being a little quirky. (I know, I keep saying that, but I think it is a great descriptor for the vibe of this joint.) Local wine list + bubblies from outside the area. All food sourced from very locally. Loved the ambience-- they really captured the feel of an inn mixed with fine dining mixed with rustic. I would recommend this to anyone.
Elegant Ambiance with Staff that did not disappoint, not too attentive or solicitous. Each aperitif or entre came to us hot from the kitchen and presented as a work of art. An interesting but not overwhelming menu not short on promise, studded with new dishes never before experienced but promising flavor and sensation. One of my most memorable dining experiences ever covering half a century and experienced over many continents.
Our meal was just exquisite! Do not miss this gem of an eatery. Highly recommended We had a rough start...the Matron D, when she knew this was out first time, was very confusing as she described the menu. Then she went on, in great detail, about the "Let Our Chef Just Cook For You" option. We were very excited about this one since it was the only item with Dungerness Crab ( season just opened) only to be told the Chef had an "issue" and just said no more. So disappointing. I even told our waiter I was from back East and was here because of the review in the Times. I was hoping for something from the Chef to make it up....
One of the ten best meals of our lives.Definitely order the "faux gras"--wow!!!
Had a lovely dinner at the Sir and the Star! The food was wonderful and the service was attentive, friendly and efficient. Well worth the drive!
After the loss of Manka's restaurant, I was overjoyed to discover Sir and Star. Every morsel of food was from local sources that were not over a 45 minute radius.The food was OUTSTANDING as well as the impeccable service. From the moment of out arrival until the our exit, the perfect service was ongoing.
There was a mess up with the reservation – we were not in the books. Sir and Star informed us that for Thanksgiving they were not using Open Table. As I wrote Sir and Star: Yesterday evening we enjoyed another fine meal with yourselves. But it was a bit on the fringe, and nearly didn't happen. I'm guessing that the error lies with Open Table, and that you'll be able to correct any future similar glitch. While I can appreciate having to fit in some unexpected guests at the end of a long service, it was a fine balance between made to feel like interlopers/chancers and return/welcome guests. Our waiter tipped the balance (for the better), thankfully. I would hate to go through that again, or for anyone else to either.
They're living up to the cuisine of the old Mankas and I like the new space better, more open, lighter, the details of the wall sconces are wonderful.
Great food. Wonderful Service. All local food meticulously prepared. Go and eat a very fine meal in a relaxed quiet unsnooty setting.
Food was great - notable for its policy of sustanability - I think they said everyhting came from within a 30 mile radius. The place was wonderful - totally worth the drive from Sausalito. Lovely waiter staff people, and very artistically decorated. Highpoints were Faux Gras - duck liver pate which was prefection and an awesome soup paired with a great Pinot Noir - a Dutton Goldfields from their Devils Gulch VIneyard recommended by our eserver. All wines are from or made in Marin (except of course the Champagne). It was a nice offshoot of sustainability - made you foucs on Marin wines and do some discovery. Heartily recommended
I live in the area, and always feel this place feels like home
Incredible. Sitting there, after a bite of the "faux gras," was as if I had started a novel and after a couple pages realized that it was not just another book but an extraordinary experience, a gem, a breakthrough, a discovery. I was sorry that I could not try everything on the menu. I must contrive a return to Marin ASAP.
The hyper local sensibility worked well for the food. Every course of our Saturday night set menu was delicious. The hyper local wine list was not so great. Our Marin pinot noir was a bit hot, and the waiter didn't really help us navigate the wine list. In general the service was a little too hands off. Menus were simply plunked down when we sat down. We weren't asked what we like to drink upon sitting down and had to wait awhile for our order. The food came before the wine on one course. Nothing about the menu or the dishes were explained to us, inviting us to learn about the chef's sensibilities, And the dining experience was pretty fast-paced considering that the restaurant advertises a slow leisurely dinner for these prix fixe meals.
A locavore's delight. Excellent for farm to table fare.

Outdoor Artworks in the South End Signal the Hop Is Nigh
State of the Arts
Andrew Sawtell
"Unlocked," by David Tanych
Want to get a jump on Burlington's South End Art Hop? Then skip along Pine Street and Flynn Avenue to view the outdoor sculptures that have been sited in advance of the September 11 to 12 extravaganza.
The 20 public pieces included in this year's Hop vary widely in scale, shape, material and level of aesthetic achievement. The uneven quality of the works reflects what Art Hop Chairman Mark Waskow describes as a "very egalitarian" selection process. It's simple: Anyone who pays the $45 registration fee will have his or her work displayed.
"We don't reject things for any reason, aesthetic or political," Waskow says. "That's what makes the Art Hop so wonderful."
A few pieces, such as John Clarke's "Egg" and "Dancers," are quite elegant. This slender pair of 5-foot-tall carved wooden figures curves and twists rhythmically in the VCAM office at 208 Flynn Avenue. Male and female partners are readily recognizable in "Dancers," while "Egg" abstracts their forms into a softly geometric composition.
In James Irving's "Divided," an 8-foot-tall metal arc resembling a giant stand pipe is dramatically bisected by a polished shard of granite that is itself split into halves. Because of its industrial look, this sleek sculpture appears right at home outside the Public Works Department on Pine Street.
A couple of pieces might easily be overlooked, due to their size, location or both. "Leary's Last Lines" will bring a smile to Hoppers who recall the high priest of LSD — assuming they know to look above and to the left of the entrance to the South End Arts and Business Association at 180 Flynn Avenue. That's where the roughly 120-square-inch plaque by James Teuscher hangs.
At the other end of the visibility spectrum looms David Tanych's 1-ton, two-part steel behemoth that will gobsmack drivers or bikers as they approach SEABA's office. It consists of a stylized mega-key, which also resembles a cannon, standing on a grassy knoll about 20 feet from an equally oversized lock. "Unlocked" is as amusing as it is monumental.
Tanych hauled the piece on a flatbed trailer from his home in Kirby to its temporary site on SEABA's grounds, where it was hoisted into place by a crane. The artist says it took him about 120 hours and $2000 to cut, bend and weld steel beams into the desired shapes. "I'd love to sell it," Tanych says of the work.
He's also represented at the Art Hop by "My Penny," a rust-colored disc the size of a cable spool. It looks much better on Tanych's website, where it's photographed in a snowy field, than it does in the shadowy spot it now occupies outside the Burlington Electic Department on Pine Street.
"Irie" by Randy Abar perhaps best expresses the festive spirit of the Art Hop. This frontal silhouette of a 5-foot-tall carnival dancer is posed on one black metal foot in front of Sondik Supply at 716 Pine Street. The crazy-haired figure wears red, yellow and green striped pants and holds wind chimes in its left hand. But what's that in its right hand? A menorah with a suspended flap of green felt? Viewers can decide for themselves.

I have been using another technique for removing a fishhook. You don't have to push the hook through the opposite side
You back the hook to skin level; you should be able to feel the barb of the hook under the skin. You can make a nick over the barb.Take a #18 gauge needle and slide it down the hook until the beibel cover the barb.Once the barb is covered the hook will slide right out. It takes a few minutes to do.You can put in a digital block if you like.
Fishhook in Boy's Finger
Fishhook in Boy's Finger
A 3-year-old boy was at home with his cousin who was preparing for a fishing trip when a fishhook accidentally became lodged in the distal part of the child's right middle finger. Radiographs confirmed the absence of bony infiltration.

19 February 2009
Caerphilly County Borough Council's Cabinet called a halt on the cost of heating and lighting for many of it's residents living in council owned sheltered accommodation complexes - despite significant increases in the costs of these utilities nationally during the past 18 months.
At a cabinet meeting yesterday, members reviewed a report put to a recent Living Environment Scrutiny Committee on the results of the "Housing Revenue Account (HRA) Charges 2009/10.
Leader of council, Cllr Lindsay Whittle said, "We are committed to ensuring the wellbeing of our county borough's residents, particularly our more vulnerable ones, and through agreeing to put a halt to increases in costs for heating and lighting in many of the council owned sheltered accommodation complexes, we are helping those on low incomes to keep warm and safe.
Had we instigated these changes, the council would have generated a saving of £63,000 over the forthcoming financial year, however the safety and wellbeing of residents is paramount - this possible saving for the council does not even enter into the equation."
The report recommended that in order to assist the council in meeting the increases in utility charges, members should agree to place an increase on, amongst other things, heating and lighting charges for many residents in council owned sheltered accommodation by £3.00 per week to £15.70, as was recommended by Welsh Assembly Government guidelines.
Cabinet members however, opposed this recommendation wholeheartedly, feeling that this was completely the wrong stance to take, particularly given the current difficult economic climate, and extremely unfair on some of the county borough's most vulnerable residents, who may simply be unable to afford this increase in utility costs.

Vehicles parade through Miller Place Star Wash & Fast Lube Center's wash tunnels seven days a week for a cleaning, or stretch out on a service bay and allow a trained technician to replenish their reserves of component fluids. Wash and detail packages come with myriad treatments, including Teflon–fortified sealant and paste wax that give cars the confidence to overcome mid-odometer crises. Standard and synthetic motor oils twirl through funnels and into cars to settle the friction between dry parts. Miller Place Star Wash uses biodegradable cleaning products, and instead of discarding their old oil, they recycle it into energy that heats and powers the building and its resident transformer.
The Jiffy Lube Signature Service oil change comes standard with a fresh-from-the-box oil filter and up to 5 quarts of motor oil, plus a comprehensive lineup of other vehicle-maintenance checkups, an exterior window wash, and interior floor vacuum. Trained technicians entreat cars to say "Ahh," before quenching automotive thirst with a refill of transmission, differential, transfer-case, power-steering, and windshield-washer fluids. A detailed inspection enforces the well-behaved manners of the antifreeze and coolant reservoirs, engine air-filtration system, serpentine belts, wiper blades, and exterior lights. By evenly distributing the weight across each tire, a fresh tire rotation helps to minimize wear and tear, maximize traction, and avoid the need to conceal balding tires with cumbersome toupees. Though Heartland Automotive Services Jiffy Lube sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Harrogate web solutions were also able to make accurate predictions based on statistics about when higher levels of web promotion would be most effective for the type of company that we run. This meant that we saved a lot of money because we were able to be more selective about where our money was spent.

I am Christian, but the difference with me is that I have actually read the bible three times in full. My interpretation isn't exactly like what you may be familiar with.
I was born and raised a christian but when I swiched to become agnostic my parents exepted it. so I'm primarily agnostic but I do take belifs from many other religions including some of the pagan ones. they are really misunderstood.
i'm very much an agnostic i don't know why but i just am
I personly have no idea what you'd call me but I believe that alot of religion's God(s) & Deites are real but they don't want/need to be worshiped. As for Jesus Christ if he was real I believe he might have been a psyic & all other people like him who made "mericals." But what makes Jesus great is that he could use telephy on a spiritual level so he didn't have to meditate (O.B.E.) talk to God or other Deites & tap into the collective unconious mind of man to push the thoughts of others this inclueded animals, demons & the souls of the elements. As for the Holy Spirit that might be the psyic ablity/medium used by "merical works." All of that is pure seculation based around my person religous experance. Which went something like this. It was march or apirl of last year & I was doing some O.B.E. for the first time. I started to by unlocking my chakras (gates that hold spiritual energy, if open they can maximize PSI abilies. It is hindu but I find it to be more of science then religion) well i unlocked all 7 & achieved O.B.E. Then I had a vision of ascending to the spirit world & spirits summoning me & being summoned themselve to me. I felt the need to ask them "How do I become more powerful?" they replied "are you strong enough for our knowledge?" "no." & at those words I came back to our world. (later I found out the 4 spirits were called the four Saint Beast of the shinto religion. I never knew about them after the next morning when I resreached them.) a month or so I tryed O.B.E. agian & a similar thing happened & agian a few more months later. The last to times one of the spirits tought me PSI techniques.
