For our wedding anniversary dinner, it was a wonderful experience, food and the service was very good.
The food was on point. Creative, tasty, and well presented. The ambiance was lovely.
This restaurant was so good. The food was beautiful and inspired. The chef really went to extraordinary lengths to make the meal interesting and used unique ingredients. It was a great take on southern cuisine.
used a travelzoo voucher for this visit...it was my first time at the Presidio and the place was stunning. the 5 course meal was more than 5 courses! it was a delightful experience!
It was our first visit and we completely enjoyed the 5-course tasting menu. The service was impeccable and the food and wines were delicious. We can't wait to return with friends.
So not only were the canapes amazing, not only were the entrees really delicious, but the quail!!!!!!! Oh my goodness!!!!! Chicken fried quail corn jalapeño and creme fraiche.... And don't forget the nasturtium leaf, its blossom and wait for it NASTURTIUM HONEY!!!! AMAZING JOB GUYS!!
I have gone to many Micheline Restaurants and I know as (having been a server myself when in college) that the server has a huge influence on the feel of the evening. The quality and taste of the food was wonderful. But my server reminded me of being in a coffee shop...or less. He spoke to us while in constant motion. He spoke approaching the table and while walking away. He barely stood at the table. He was not engaging at all. He was very nice...don't get me wrong but there was no elegance about him. He really could use a little training in serving in a fine dining restaurant I live in Alameda but it was worth going over to have dinner. Food was good
I've eaten at Dixie twice now, and love it even more after my second visit. The food is deliciously unique and well-prepared. The service is impeccable. GO.
The bartender was friendly and provided a sample of a unique artichoke liqueur before I committed to a full cocktail that included the stuff. At the table the service was outstanding with a whole team seamlessly bringing the courses, wine, fresh silverware, clearing plates, and refilling water. The servers obviously are experienced in fine dining with the way they kept the table free of clutter without taking anything too early and without interrupting conversation. Every dish was fun and impressive in presentation and taste. I particularly enjoyed the imaginative takes on traditional dishes like chicken fried quail legs and acorn grits w/ poached egg and truffle butter.
Relaxed atmosphere with great service. Our group of 6 really enjoyed the tasting menu. Service was excellent food was creative and fun without being over the top. Would love to go back for their brunch on a beautiful day and sit outside
Nice location, the hostess was nice and attentive. Our servers were professional, knowledgeable, kind. The atmosphere was unique and comfortable. The food was very good and unique. Had a good time and would go back but would check it out for brunch next time. Had an alarm that went off and lasted about twenty five minutes before it turned off then felt as if we needed to wrap things up sooner than what we would have. Overall we enjoyed Yummer
Delcious... Delectable... Palatable... Maybe Ambrosial would be the best word to describe the food here. Every single item we ordered for dinner was incredible! The oyster trio, the deviled eggs (a MUST), the garlic soup, the duck, the sturgeon, the grits, the quail, the chocolate-cherry cola cake, the rice pudding, the apricot cornmeal cake, buttermilk cake, even the spicy beans with the crackers was much more than just enjoyable. It was outstanding! I'm determined to go back and try every single thing on the menu! Even the grilled cheese sandwich and BBQ chips they made for my son was really good! Along with the s'mores cookie - YUM! And on top of that, the staff is EXCELLENT. Very accomodating, very attentive, very nice. Love Dixie!
We went on a Living Social deal for a five-course tasting menu paired with three wines. The food was quite good. Two of the wines were also quite good and paired well. The third was OK but not a very good pairing to the food (slightly sweet and too low in acid). The server was good, but the bus person was great (he untiringly kept my water glass filled, a big plus to me). And we were impressed that each new course brought a clean silverware - I hate it when a used fork or knife is removed from the plate to be cleared and set back on the table.
My son and I recently took my Mom to Dixie to Celebrate her 85th Birthday. The food was excellent and well prepared. The portion sizes was just right. The restuarant is very well maintained and actually spotless. The quality of the service was above excellent from the matre'd to the servers all did an excellent job. I will definitely return to Dixie. More importantly my Mom enjoyed her Celebration.
Everything about Dixie was amazing, except for the service towards the end and the serving of improper red wine glasses during the tasting menu.
We like Dixie ! It different and the food is very good. Had hush puppies, deviled eggs to start, then the shrimp, quail, and delicious chocolate cake with a cherries and cola ice cream. The cocktails are very good. We a fans of Chef Joseph ! Very good experience every time we go.
The chief's multiple course tasting menu with (generous) wine pairings is the best. Just bring a good appetite.
Granted, street parking near Lyons is a pain, though you could pay for the underground garage. We went for a nice lunch and were pleased by the melange of flavors - fried chicken, fried cod, grilled shrimp all with vegetable underpinnings that coordinated and delighted the eye, as well as the month. Because it was Aug. in San Francisco, the dining room was deserted at lunch - wonderful decor. Though pricey, we enjoyed the experience.
Beautiful location and spectacular interior. Wide open space with high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. Very airy and impressive dining room. Menu has some interesting choices. Complimentary exotic lavosh style crackers with black eyed pea spread served with our very unique cocktail, "the long swim" made with rum and artichoke liquor. Ordered the chicken fried quail which was very crisp and tasty and deviled eggs to share. I had the duck entree and my friends ordered the fish entree. All were accompanied by southern themed side dishes done with a creative twist. The cheese grits were divine. The Key lime pie was fabulous. Service was friendly and timely. Lots of parking on the street, you do not need to park in the garage.
Interesting menu with many unique items and varied tastes. The service was good and friendly and the food was served without any long wait between courses. A beautiful space and not much changed since the old Per Se Vie days. We would return.
Dixie was fantastic! Took my parents here for a birthday celebration and the food was great! The location is kind of hard to find (it's located in the presidio-- a little tucked away, but tey have their own parking area, which is convenient). The service was slow so I feel like I have to mention that since there weren't that many tables to warrant that long of a wait. Otherwise, fantastic, delicious food! Gulf shrimp appetizer was delicious-- served with fresh microgreens, a creme fraiche and some apple julienne-ed. I had the red wine steak, my mom had the duck and he had the sturgeon. Everything was delicious!
Had a very positive experience there on a recent Wednesday night. We were greeted by a wonderful hostess who was genuine and really made us feel welcomed. The food was excellent with some great flavors. One dish was tortellini and the other was a beef cut with an amazing sauce. Grits were awesome! Deviled eggs a must. The service was a bit slow at times even though the restaurant was not that busy (late dinner). The other observation where I felt could have made it a 5 star experience was the lighting as it was simply too bright for such a beautiful interior. If the lighting were a bit softer the mood would have been a lot calmer and enjoyable. Nonetheless, I will go back very soon and would like to try the bar as it is a great space.
There was three of us for Sunday Brunch and we found it to be very enjoyable. We all had something different to eat and drink, and we will return. It's very pretty there, inside and outside. The only complaint was the wait staff, it took way to long to come back and take our order for brunch. We were the first people to arrive for Sunday brunch, and people all around us were eating their meal, and no one had come back to take our order. The meal was really good when it finally arrived, if you like Southern food, you will like Dixie.
The Presidio is a lovely place to be and the restaurant has a sophisticated ambiance. The food suffers because they try too hard to be cutting edge. For example, they added smoke and bacon flavor to their Bloody Mary which was not what i wanted at all. The eggs Benedict was made with a biscuit and kale - no canadian bacon. Sorry, but that isn't an eggs Benedict -that is another concoction with an egg and hollandaise sauce . There was only one omelet and it was dull. The hush puppies were dry and unappealing. The coffee was fantastic however - some of the best ever. I will go again just for the ambiance, the great coffee and because I believe i will find something on the menu I like as they are trying hard.
I loved the twist to southern food... yummy... my mouth waters everytime i think about their food
Servers need to smile more even if you are not the primary server of a table. Our dessert was brought to a waiting station and no one picked it up until 3 minutes after it was brought out even though there were other severs milling around. It had ice cream.
Great brunch went back for lunch. Very comfortable will definitely return
Dixie serves up soutern comfort with a refined upscale accent. Classic southern dishes are excuted with the kind of precesion and respect for ingredients that would make Alice wathers proud. The cocltails, both alcoholic and non- are a treat and the ambience is upscale without being fussy. The resturant is located in a lovely park that George Lucas developed as part of his facilties in the Presidio so an after meal stroll is an added bonus.
Okay, so I wasn't that impressed with Dixie when it opened a couple of years ago, but wow, dinner the other night was over the top. Four of us shared the deviled eggs with crispy chicken livers and the cod beignets and absolutely loved them. Then came the entries,which were all wonderful. I had the fried chicken, which was boneless, and right up there with the best ever. I wasn't keen to go back to Dixie, but after dinner the other night, I can't wait to go back. The cuisine isn't just Southern, but the flavors and ingredients are clean and delicious. Highly recommend.
Be sure to try Dixie! Food was exceptional, presentation wonderful. Service over the top. And such a beautiful interior! Set in the gorgeous Presidio - we will most definitely return again and again. Loved the Louisiana Catfish dish!
I had read many negatives but decided to try Dixie, and I am glad I did. Granted we went on a Monday night and it was almost empty, but the service was friendly, quick and efficient. The deviled eggs and the hush puppy appitizers were recommended, so we tried them and were not disappointed - only the portions were small for the price. For a starter we split the prawns dish. The portion was enough for two and the taste was great. The entres we ordered were the steak which came with potatoes and was a good portion and cooked perfectly; and the blackened catfish which was a large portion on a bed of veggies and beans and delicious. For dessert we spit a key lime pie which was wonderful. If you have not been since the chef changed, try it!
Great meal. Service was outstanding. The food is the star: cornbread bites with paprika honey butter as your bread was a wonderful touch. The deviled eggs are heavenly, with Tasso ham giving just the right flavor. The thick ham appetizer was fun and scrumptious. The special was a rabbit course that was, frankly, the best cooked rabbit I have ever had. The server was so pleased with my reaction, he invited me to the kitchen to compliment the chef! Dessert was outrageously good: frozen nougat was a heavenly treat. Decor is fascinating, and the location makes it seem like you are on vacation in the city. Huge heated patio, wonderful service. We'll be back!
Very creative fusion of southern and California cuisine. Impeccable execution on very delicate items like fried oysters. Hushpuppies are world class. Service is wonderful and cocktails are a must...
This was our 4th time at Dixie and I think we like it even more each time. It's an incredible deal for San Francisco - an elegant dining experience, top notch service, a fantastic menu and all at very reasonable prices. The duck confit risotto was to die for, as was the fried chicken. The dessert were notable as well; we especially loved the cobbler. I also can't stress how nice it is to dine in a restaurant where the table are well spaced and you can actually hear your dining companions. Very rare for San Francisco. We would definitely recommend.
Went for a b-day dinner and met all our expectations. Service perfect. Food good. Not alot of people know about this restaurant in the Presidio which is a shame.
Food was delish. Excellent Bloody Marys! Service was good. We ate outside because the weather was nice, but checked out the beautiful insides as well. Love the lounge--we will be back!
My 89 year old mother wanted to sit in a quieter location even though the booth we were originally seated at was pleasant and quiet. The staff were super-friendly about allowing us to change our seating twice to accommodate her. We ordered the oysters (yummy), gem lettuce (beautifully presented and divided over two plates), catfish (tasty and generous portion). Overall, a very nice experience with every plate esthetically presented.
We went on a travelzoo deal. They made the deal even better when we got there. Hushpuppies and fried appetizers to start were very good. the shrimp and grits were delicious and the grits were unique as they were fried balls as opposed to polenta-like. the flat iron steak was superb and the side of fried okra was great. we had a lime tart and buttermilk cake for dessert. i liked the buttermilk cake and we both liked the key lime tart. we would definitely go back.
Amazing food. Hidden location which is awesome. Beautiful grounds. Great bar and lounge area. Validated parking for underground garage (at location).
The menu definitely reflects the roots of a chef from the south. His twist on Southern comfort food is very well prepared and plated. Every single bite is FULL of flavor. Highly recommended.
If the food had been more than barely warm, it would have been outstanding. Luckily, our waitperson gave us a complimentary dessert that made up for it! The venue is beautiful and the waitstaff very attentive.
Dixie is going through a lot of changes since the chef/ partner and his kitchen staff walked out last month. The wine steward and much of the serving staff left as well, and obviously, they are going through a revaming, but at their prices, one does not expect to be part of that process. Hopefully, they will work it out.
used a travelzoo deal for this visit and had a lovely time. wait time for each course was a bit slowe but we did not mind.
Used Travelzoo voucher and enjoyed the selection of all the courses. Especially like the Key Lime tart for dessert!
The new menu and the new team are making a success of this restaurant Overall much better than before!
after being seated at dixie, it took a while to get an order in and be served. but once the first dish came out, all of the rest of the food came out in a relatively short period of time (seems to indicate a service problem, not kitchen problem). i had read a few comments on yelp about slow service, so i wasn't too surprised. enjoyed all of the dishes (although the thick cut bacon chunks in the brussel sprout salad were quite salty). i loved the dixie old fashioned. great ambiance. free and EASY parking. lots of space for casual drinking/bar bites in the lounge area next to the dining room - very nicely decorated.
Although the chef has recently changed, we found the food to be fresh, well presented and service to be outstanding. Several items previously on the menu were no longer there. We had a catfish entree and the New York steak. Both were excellent. Not sure about the variety of entrees as there was nothing that really called to us. That being said, we would definitely go there again and recommend it to our friends. Only down side was the cost of the parking if you came before 6:00 pm -- $6.00 an hour or $5.00 per hour after 6:00 pm. P.S. We used a Travel Zoo discount.
The restaurant is beautiful. Every detail has been gone over at this restaurant. The food was excellent.
Well the new management at Dixie has improved this lovely restaurant at many levels Friendly hostess, wait staff,and excellent food Keep up the good work
Just inside the Presidio, is a very nice place to do a leisurely lunch or brunch on the weekends. Probably a very different vibe on the weekdays with lots of local workers dropping in, but on a recent Sunday it was quiet, peaceful, and great food with great service. Highly recommended.

E.T. and Elliott (Universal Pictures)
I guess there's never been a good time to grow up a geek - those of us who prefer to be challenged mentally rather than physically have never had it easy, especially as kids – but in terms of cultural richness, I reckon I can make a good case for the period of my childhood as a golden age for the genre.
I guess if we're dads, many of us will have grown up in the late seventies and early eighties. In movies, we had Star Wars and Superman, Close Encounters and Ghostbusters, Indy and Marty McFly. Elliott was us, we were Elliott, living in the suburbs, playing with Greedo and Walrusman, rolling our d20s and finding freedom through our bicycles. The period ended, perhaps, with the ultimate kids' film, The Goonies.
On TV, in Britain, we joined Blake and his band on board the Liberator, boldly going into territory which Firefly would later visit. Tom Baker, a great Doctor, gave way to a fantastic new one that was ours to own: the young, breathless, dynamic Peter Davison (current showrunner Steven Moffat's favourite). The historical became hysterical through Rowan Atkinson's Black Adder (I tried to convince my parents to let me watch it on the thin argument it would help with my school History essays).
In books, (and then TV, radio, records, towels…) I discovered the genius of Douglas Adams through a moth-eaten copy of the Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy bought in a school féte. To an adolescent the world seems crazy, but Adams knew that was the case for everyone, and parodied it to perfection through the medium of sci-fi. Asterix and Tintin books from the continent were breaking through in Britain, while our home-grown comics were hugely popular, a golden age for the Beano and its ilk, and the groundbreaking 2000AD featuring Judge Dredd.
In toys and games, Lego entered a creative period that laid the foundations for its current world-beating success, with the introduction of themed ranges populated by minifigures and the first Lego Technic sets. In the UK, computers such as the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 were the first games consoles; but titles like Knight Lore and Manic Miner inspired a generation to program themselves, kickstarting the UK games industry that has become so prevalent. And pen and paper gaming also encouraged eighties kids to get creative – we not only crawled through amazing purchased dungeons, we wrote our own. Dungeons & Dragons defined the generation, taught us math and teamwork in a fun, exciting way, and introduced a new generation to the works of JRR Tolkien.
So that's the case for c.1977-1985 – a period of intense creativity in imaginative media. I count myself lucky to have been the right age to experience it. Or perhaps, with geek culture hitting the mainstream, today's generation has it better? Or was there an even greater era to be a geek-kid?

I would argue for the early 90's. First exposure to home computers, NES hayday. 1986-1993 I don't remember the movies, from that era much, but at 6 getting my NES in 1986 was love at first play. Many family events revolved around playing together, keeping notes, figuring out riddles, and if I was lucky my dad let me actually use the controller. FIrst home computer in 1992. P33(with a turbo button) 4 meg of ram and a 20 or 30 meg hard drive. DOS tutorials and all that jazz. That's the period of time that shaped me, so obviously biased that it is the best time.
Ahhh, so true, so awesome of a time to grow up....
I spend many hours scrolling throught www.retrojunk.com looking at old tv shows, cartoons, toys, and especially the commercials.
Thanks Nathan. Yup, 42, the answer to life the universe and everything! '88 to '89 was a strange time, with hair rock giving way to indie and Madchester in the UK almost overnight.
Lovely post Martin, we must be about the same age (40ish?) makes me feel all nostalgic. Most of the history I know comes from Blackadder in some way.
I wouldn't have minded being a little bit older though, purely so I would have been old enough to join in the fun of the M25 rave scene around '88, although I did get to experience the indie music revolution instead I suppose
The best era was 1983-1990.
Apple 2 computers were entering the used computer market, Commador Vic 64 was on the market allowing families with lower incomes to snap up Vic 20's cheap. TSR 80's are all over the flea markets. More computing power was available for young people then had ever been available for children to get there hands on. The Atari market crash was about to hit causing huge numbers of games to be sold cheaply. Nintendo was about to take over our life.
TV had some great Sci-fi AirWolf, Greatest American Hero, Star Trek the Next Gen. Cable TV hit our local market.
Best Sci-fi Movies ever. Final Countdown, Aliens, Dune, Predator. Great Movies Like Space Balls. (I Kid)
Fall of the Berlin Wall

text: Cerebral palsy This is an abnormality of muscle control that occurs because of a brain injury. It affects muscle strength, coordination, and may cause spasticity of muscles. It may or may not be associated with mental disability. Children with cerebral palsy may have difficulty with walking, speech, hearing and arm/hand coordination. The amount and type of involvement of these functions is variable and hard to predict at birth. It is an uncommon problem occurring in about 2 per 1000 infants. Cerebral palsy is associated with very premature delivery, problems that result in a loss of oxygen to the unborn infant and illness in the immediate post-delivery period.

Varicocelectomy is surgery to repair a varicocele. A varicocele is swelling of veins in the scrotum. This swelling is due to blood backing up in the veins. A varicocele can cause pain or a heavy feeling in the scrotum. It can also cause problems with fertility. During the surgery, the swollen veins are cut and the ends are closed off. Other veins in the groin area then take over carrying the blood supply. The surgery is done with a technique called laparoscopy. A thin, lighted tube called a laparoscope (scope) is used. The scope allows the doctor to work through a few small incisions. This sheet explains the surgery.
Prepare for the surgery as you've been told. In addition:
Tell your doctor about all medications you take. This includes herbs and other supplements. It also includes any blood thinners, such as Coumadin, Plavix, or daily aspirin. You may need to stop taking some or all of them before surgery.
Do not eat or drink during the 8 hours before your surgery. This includes coffee, water, gum, and mints. (If you have been instructed to take medications, take them with a small sip of water.)
This surgery takes 2-3 hours. You'll likely go home the same day.
Before the surgery begins:
An IV line is put into a vein in your arm or hand. This supplies fluids and medications (such as antibiotics).
To keep you free of pain during the surgery, you're given general anesthesia. This medication puts you into a state like deep sleep through the surgery. A tube may be inserted into your throat to help you breathe.
A thin tube (catheter) is placed in your bladder to drain urine.
During the surgery:
The doctor makes a few small incisions in the abdomen.
The scope is placed through one of the incisions. It sends live pictures of the inside of the abdomen to a video screen.
The abdomen is filled with gas. This makes space for the doctor to see and work.
Using tools placed through the other incisions, the swollen veins are cut. The ends may be sealed with tiny clips. Or the ends may be cauterized.
When the surgery is complete, all tools are removed. The incisions are closed with stitches or staples.
Note: The doctor will begin with laparoscopy. But he or she may need to change to open surgery for safety reasons. Open surgery is done using an incision in the abdomen or the groin. You'll be told more about this possibility before surgery.
You'll be taken to a recovery room to rest until the anesthesia wears off. You may feel sleepy and nauseated. If a breathing tube was used, your throat might be sore at first. You'll be given medications to manage any pain. The catheter will be removed from your bladder. When you're ready to go home, you'll be released to an adult family member or friend.
Have someone help you at home as your healing begins. Follow all the instructions you've been given. Make sure to:
Take all medications as directed.
Care for your incisions as instructed.
Apply ice or a cold compress to the scrotum for 10 minutes at a time for the first 48 hours. This helps reduce swelling.
Follow your doctor's guidelines for showering. Avoid swimming, bathing, using a hot tub, and other activities that cause the incision to be covered with water until your doctor says it's okay.

After a couple of frustrating days trying to get the SPI interface to work, I ran across a post by Brett Wilson about using the shield with an I2C interface.
In his post he plugged the shield into a proto-board. I wanted to keep it attached to my FezPanda (.NET Micro, Arduino clone).
The attached PDF details the hardware mods to use the shield with the I2C interface. I will post NETMF C# code soon.

We'll bring you -- the president did get a bounce from this week's Democratic National Convention governor Mitt Romney also got a very small one after his Tampa convention enough to make this race a dead heat.
And everything's data where they stand right now combat -- co-founder of real clear politics Tom good to see it today.
-- let's start -- had to have what are the latest numbers show you about the -- race Obama vs Romney.
Well Obama is receiving a bump from his convention and it's not clear exactly how much of a bomb that he will get.
We have a couple of tracking polls -- a bit tracking over the weekend.
Gallup showed.
Obama moving out from a one point lead about a five point lead.
And in the Rasmussen tracking poll showed.
Romney had last week and now -- -- by about -- so.
He's up by a point happened the report politics average but again we'll see more polls coming out early this week -- -- give us a better indication of where the race actually stands it.
We've had some fluctuation as well in the job approval rating for the president's.
The way in Gallup poll has approved now 52% disapprove at 42% which seems -- yet.
At least especially when you're talking about economic issues the president it seems has not feared as well with the general public when asked about that.
-- the Rasmussen poll shows 49% approve 50% disapproves of flipping those numbers but they're still relatively.
Clausen and the overall average of repair politics is 48 point 5% approve 47 point 7%.
It did usual all of the customary to see numbers this tight about sixty days out.
And lets you question it.
Obama definitely we've we've seen a bomb in his job approval rating -- the one thing that that.
You know you viewers should be aware of is that some of these numbers now are aren't taking it -- they've taken -- into account the convention but not the news that came after the event which was that bad job of what -- came out on Friday so.
We saw in doubt today the numbers just came out about twenty minutes ago that his job approval rating actually -- down.
Four points to his his approval rating went down to in his disapproval rating went up to.
And that took into account -- those Friday numbers so again we're gonna have to wait and see both on the job approval front and on the on the polling the head to head numbers front.
Not only that the convention bounce but as that.
That last jobs report get sort of ingested.
By the public -- to see where where this race really does stand as as were under the sixty day mark now.
Well that's what the the Republicans or Democrats.
If it did it bounces we generally see from these conventions how long did they last are they tempered by things like the one that you know another -- jobs report.
You know how long can they Colton did have that little bubble coming off of the convention.
Watching another good question I mean historically bounces will.
If it depends it it's it's a case by case scenario really.
And and the thing with now heading into the into the general election Romney now.
Has the bomb remember he spent hundreds of millions of dollars prior to the -- of time frame.
Mitt Romney negatively Romney now has the advantage here in the final -- he's got access to his general election dollars and they are launching.
A huge -- the -- so we'll see if that moves the needle any any in his direction.
Though that.
Tons of advertising that -- that Obama did earlier didn't move the needle very much and has directions a lot to see I think the debates are actually going to be a key pivotal moment this campaign we have a debate every.
Every week during the month of October.
And you think -- that the vice presidential debate is going to be a factor a lot of people say the second person on the ticket doesn't matter that much but there seems to be a great deal of interest -- what we're hearing from our viewers and just anecdotally between people that they want to really see this by -- Biden Ryan match up.
Almost more interest in that one and they are the top of the ticket.
Yes although you know and that -- save -- four years ago Sarah Palin vs Biden same thing with you know Dick Cheney when he was on the ticket.
Battling John Edwards so.
There is a lot of interest in the vice presidential debate but you're right in the end the people are voting for number's on the ticket they're voted for the top of the ticket it's -- -- be Romney vs Obama.
Those debates will be the ones that matter most.
A -- half three of those I would ask you -- something that's puzzled us a lot the last few months when you have numbers that show when it comes to the economy when it comes to his job approval.
That more people favor Romney then do -- Obama.
But yet.
Obama continues to pull ahead of Romney and overall head to -- -- in most of the polling the last few months.
How is it in your experience -- following these numbers that people can disapprove of the way that somebody is doing their job but still say I still think that there are the best person the most confidence in them to continue leading the country.
That's a very question in this is strange election in usually all the metrics or if they're like pieces puzzle pieces and -- all sort of fit together.
In this election they don't we've got two thirds of people saying that they disagree with the direction the country moving in you've got a job approval rating for the president under 50%.
As you mentioned on the economy even lower than that and yet he still leading these -- so it's jumbled up I think the main reason for that Shannon.
Is that people don't art there's still cutting the president some slack they know inherited a mess and and at least some of them certainly Democrats and some independents are still.
Buying the fact they blame it on bush.
And -- by the fact that the president says look I've done the best job that I could I need more time to work this out we're moving in the right direction so.
We'll see if that argument continues to sell here in the in the final days.
And he -- can make the debates more important than ever before Tom -- thank you so much always good to hear from you.
Thank you.
-- the employment.

I wandered over here to your thread to check out your batteries, and I got caught-up reading about your bike. Its really awesome.
When I first encountered this site about 6 months ago, it was the first one I read, but I didn't know the meaning of all the info. Now that I understand it, I'm really impressed with your results. 10 amps to go 20mph is excellent.
I think it was a huge gain switching to a 20 inch tire. I always favor smaller tires for all ebikes because we use motors that spin at 3000 rpms, so we're always gearing down. It seems like you ccan never gear down enough. In your case you really benifited.
This chart shows that you hit your max efficiency at 40mph (top speed) I think that's an indication that the smaller tire really helped. WIth your bigger tire, your bike must have been running at lower efficiency--perhaps 85% because that would coencide with about the 33mph level. In my estimation, an eve smaller tire could offer a little more power and efficiency (not that I'm suggesting you switch again).
In one post you said that you were able to get about 30 amps from your packs, but I could swear that I saw a post of yours earlier saying you re-soldered your connections and you're now getting more amps. WHat is your battery power status now?
it seems like if you drew 2C (is that realistic?) you'd be getting 66amps! That's 4500 watts!
Does that thing go 50mph now?
My next mini-project is to re-FET the controller for 60-80 max amps, and have installed an adjustable limit so I can limit it to 35-40 amps until I can build a 23s4p emoli "sport" pack that can handle 80 amps.

Tips & Tricks for your Priority Inbox in Gmail
I love Gmail. The moment I switched from Hotmail and Yahoo to Gmail, my life changed.
And as a person that works in Google, Gmail is part of my working day.
I've been using Priority Inbox for a while now and there are some tips that I'd like to share with you. Feel free to add/share/ask anything in the comments for this post.
Just in case, for those who don't know what Priority Inbox is, let me explain quickly. Priority Inbox, attempts to automatically identify your important incoming messages and separates them out from everything else.
Your inbox will have the important emails in first place and it'll show the rest after them.
Gmail uses a variety of signals to prioritize your incoming messages, including who you've emailed and chatted with most, which keywords appear frequently in the messages you opened recently, which messages you open or reply to, your stars etc.
However, although in a first attempt, Priority Inbox, is quite accurate you'll see that sometimes, not important emails appear in your Priority Inbox and viceversa. You need to train a bit your Priority Inbox…
Why is that?
The tool is not perfect… but It can be with a little help.
Rule number 1: Filters and labels
Is your email correctly filtered and labeled?? That's the first step in general. Not only for the Priority Inbox, but for you life!!!!
Most people don't use filters and labels correctly but if you're interested I'm more than happy to write a post about it.
I just want you to keep this idea in mind. Labels are folders and filters are the different dividers within that particular folder. I hope you get the idea.
Rule number 2. Mark as important or not important
When you create/edit a filter you can "Mark always as important" or "Mark as not important". If you select the first option the emails for that filter will appear in your Priority Inbox.
Two simple steps and your email will be automatically organized for you. You may spend 30 minutes organizing your email but you'll forget after it.
Rule number 3: Marking individual emails
Another option if you have some emails with no labels is using the importance arrows to indicate prioritization.
Rule number 4: Archive!!!!
Archiving is not deleting. Archiving means that you've read the email (a.k.a your folder is full of papers) and you decide to put it somewhere else (get all those important papers and put them into a cabinet) so you inbox is empty (you can put more new papers in your folder)
If you ever want to read those emails again, you can use the search(ask the colleague seating next to you) or go to "All mail"(check your file cabinet)
Rule number 5: Customizing your Priority Inbox
If you don't like the way it looks… change it!
By default, Priority Inbox organizes your messages into three main sections:
• Important and unread contains messages that Gmail thinks are important that you haven't read yet.
• Starred shows messages in your inbox that you've starred.
• Everything else shows messages that are in your inbox but are not included in the other two sections.
If you'd like, you can customize these sections. You can choose to show different types of messages in each section, to set maximum sizes for each section, and to hide or add a section altogether. There are two different ways to customize your sections: you can go to Settings, or customize them right from the inline menus.

Level 3 sex offender seen talking to children in Lexington
LEXINGTON, Mass. (WHDH) -- Parents in Lexington are on alert after reports of a sex offender talking to children -- and what's most concerning for them is that police say there is nothing they can do about it.
Lexington schools warned parents that a level three sex offender has been approaching children.
"Emails have been circulating, and everybody has heard about who he is and what he's been up to," said Beth Randall, a concerned parent.
William Lafauci served his time for indecent assault on a child in 1993 and exposing himself in 1998.
The Sex Offender Registry Board considers Lafauci at high risk to re-offend, so when a mother spotted him talking to her child on the walk to school, she became concerned.
"I was surprised to know that a level three offender was able to speak with children. I thought there would be some sort of restriction on that," said Jenny Lisle, a concerned parent.
School officials at Bridge Elementary sent a letter home to parents, but Lafauci isn't breaking any laws; Lexington has no specific restrictions to stop sex offenders from going near parks and schools -- so police can only urge awareness of Lafauci, and all sex offenders in the area.
"It's sort of a Catch 22. I mean, you don't want to violate somebody else's rights, obviously. But at the same time, you do wish that there was something more defined -- that maybe there were a limit -- he's not within a certain radius of children. Near practice fields or schools, that kind of thing," said Randall.
The town of Lexington would have to change its laws to keep sex offenders away from parks and schools.

The original hitman of paintball returns to reclaim his rightful crown in the one comedy that proves you're never too old for a killer comeback. Everyone knows that the name Bobby Dukes (Rob Corddry) is synonymous with the game of paintball, and when the teenaged Dukes led his team, the River Rats, to three consecutive wins at the East Coast's legendary Hudson Valley Paintball Classic, it appeared as if the game was finally about to break big due in no small part to Dukes' dead-eye aim and easygoing charisma. It was that fateful attempt at a fourth win that ultimately derailed Dukes' career as a triggerman, though, and after being shot during one of his signature moves, the three-time champion committed one of the most heinous acts in all of paintball -- wiping. Spotted by a keen-eyed referee and subsequently ejected for his attempts to cover up the telltale stain, Dukes' was devastated to become the laughing stock of the paintball community. Now, the time has come to let go of the past and lay claim to the future, and though no self-respecting paintball player would be caught stained on the team of a man who once wiped, Dukes is soon joined by the very same referee who exposed his deceitful transgression in assembling a ragtag team of underdogs and once again laying claim to the coveted Hudson Valley Paintball Classic title. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A man attempts to deal with a truly remarkable variety of personal and emotional problems in this comedy drama based on the real-life experiences of comedian and author Jeff Nichols. Jeff (Seann William Scott) is a man edging into his thirties who has a serious drinking problem along with Attention Deficit Disorder, Dyslexia and Tourette's Syndrome; to say Jeff has a hard time dealing with others stretches the boundaries of understatement, and he devotes a fair share of his day to support meetings, even ones dealing with conditions which don't involve his problems. Jeff prefers to blame his wealthy parents (Dierdre O'Connell) and (Denis O'Hare) for his problems, even though they haven't done much besides stand aside as he's burned down their home. Unable to hold down a job, Jeff has been evicted from the garage he was renting from Bert (Kevin Conway), who can no longer handle his many eccentricities, but with nowhere else to go, he somehow charms his way into the heart and home of Lynn (Gretchen Mol), a woman he met at a support group for people with relationship problems. While Lynn is a walking mass of phobias regarding men and romance, she discovers something in the damaged Jeff that encourages her to take a chance on him. Adapted from Nichols's autobiography The Little Yellow Bus, Trainwreck: My Life As An Idiot was the first theatrical feature from director Tod Harrison Williams. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Neil (Cillian Murphy) is a dyed-in-the-wool movie fan who runs a video store, "Gumshoe Video," specializing in classic film noir and offbeat cult items. Neil spends nearly every evening on the couch, soaking up classic movies from the blue glow of his television; Neil's lack of a social life has not been good for his relationships with women, and his latest girlfriend walked out on him after he declared he wanted her to be more like Katharine Ross in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. But then Neil meets Violet (Lucy Liu), a sexy and adventurous woman who is immediately taken with him. However, Neil soon decides Violet may be a bit
adventurous -- while he's content to get his excitement from watching movies, she would rather throw herself into thrilling situations rather than observe them from a distance, and her appetite for danger proves to be far more than he bargained for. Watching the Detectives was the first directorial effort from Paul Soter, who as a member of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe helped write the films Super Troopers and Beerfest. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Jack Black and Michael Cera headline Harold Ramis' Biblical comedy about a pair of misfit hunter-gatherers who embark on a wild journey through the ancient world after being banished from their primitive village. Zed (Black) and Oh (Cera) may lack in the skills that their chieftain is looking for, but they have plans to make it big. Zed has a gut feeling that God has "chosen" him, and so he leads his buddy on a trip through the unknown countryside in search of bigger and better things, bumping into several weird characters along the way -- like a feuding pair of brothers named Cain and Abel (David Cross and Paul Rudd). Unfortunately, their quest for greatness hits a few snags, like being sold into slavery, and later becoming the object of interest to a very amorous, very hairy high priest (Oliver Platt) in the opulent city of Sodom. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A clerical error tests the lifelong friendship of two brides-to-be by scheduling their respective weddings at the famed Plaza Hotel on the exact same date in this romantic comedy starring Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. Ever since they were little girls, Liv (Hudson) and Emma (Hathaway) have bonded over planning their weddings down to the very last detail. Now, both in their mid-twenties, Liv and Emma have each found the men they want to spend the rest of their lives with. But while most of the details regarding their respective weddings don't overlap, the one thing that both Liv and Emma have always dreamt of is holding their ceremony at the legendary Plaza Hotel -- New Your City's ultimate bridal destination. Unfortunately, a simple clerical error has scheduled both of their weddings on the exact same date, at the exact same place. As a high-powered lawyer who's used to getting her way, Liv simply isn't willing to settle for anything less than perfection. And though simple schoolteacher Emma has always placed the needs of others above her own, the prospect of making any sacrifices on her big day brings out her inner bridezilla in ways that shock her unsuspecting friends and family. There was a time when Liv and Emma would have done anything for each other, but now that the two best friends are at odds over who will get their dream wedding and who will have to settle for second best, the lacy gloves are off and it's all-out war. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

July 29, Colombo: Incidences of communicable diseases in the camps housing the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Northern Sri Lanka continue to decrease, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a recent report.
As the disease surveillance activities in the camps continue to improve, the incidence of hepatitis, chickenpox, dysentery, and watery diarrhoea have shown declining trends, the WHO reported. According to the WHO there were few cases of measles and mumps but no new cases have been reported from the IDP sites.
Who and Sri Lanka Ministry of Health are vigilantly monitoring the disease situation in the camps and other health issues like malaria, dengue, tuberculosis (TB) as well as H1N1 infections. The Ministry has also established new immunization guidelines in the camps for the children and the health workers, WHO said.
The Sri Lankan government is gradually transferring the IDPs in the schools and other public sites to new welfare villages to ease congestion in the camps. According to the WHO, there are 264 822 IDPs, consisting of 85 748 families in Vavuniya. A majority is housed in 13 welfare zones.
WHO said the Sri Lankan government has developed a 180-day plan for rehabilitation and resettlement of IDPs in the conflict-affected areas in Vanni.
Based on the government's 180-day plan, the Health Ministry has also developed its own plans for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the health facilities in the North and provision of medical equipment to those facilities.
WHO along with other organizations including UNICEF, UNFPA, IOM, ICRC, MSF (Holland), MTI, Handicap International, Muslim Aid, Sarvodaya, SewaLnaka, MercyMalasiya, and CARE International are coordinating and assisting the Health Ministry's efforts to provide health care services to the IDP population, WHO assured.

OGDENSBURG - Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center has laid off eight of its over 675 employees and is seeking other ways to cut costs.
In the first half of this year, the hospitals revenues have grown less than one percent while expenses have risen four percent, according to information provided by the hospital.
These financial difficulties are attributed to a decrease in Medicare funding for hospitals. CHMC will receive $450,000 less medicaid funds in 2012, and $806,000 less in 2013. These cuts will grow yearly as part of the Affordable Care Act.

Does anyone plan to try this? I gave it no thought until my mom called and said she saw it on tv and wanted me to do it... her treat. I asked my doctor and she said the science behind it is very accurate. I know there is a whole debate about if this is moral and could lead to possible gender selection issues, which I am against, but I was just curious if anyone had heard of it and is trying it. I am still a little torn myself...

What is it?
MY PERFECT BABY BOY IS HERE!!! So Little Time But So Worth It!
http://www.pregnancystore.com/baby_gender_mentor.htm Does anyone plan to try this? No way. I would rather save $275 and wait until 20 weeks. If it was a gift...then sure I see no problem with it but I would never spend that much of my own money. I would also assume that because of the cost it would eliminate any gender selection issues. I think that there is no real way to prevent people who are so dead set against one gender from aborting a pregnancy. You'd be surprised at how resourceful people are when they have little integrity.

I considered doing it, just because my ultrasound wasn't scheduled until 26 weeks! I was dying of curiosity. Instead, we paid $180 for the 3D/4D ultrasound. Way better money spent, I think!
Ethan 2/5/03 Kelly 11/25/05 Maddox 6/18/08 I have CDO. It's like OCD, but all the letters are in alphabetical order...like they should be.
We did it at 7 weeks and the results were accurate for us but I have heard from some others that the company has a lawsuit out against them for not paying up appropriately in the inaccurate cases. It was a treat from my mom and fun to do but it does cost a lot for "fun."

Comments: My favorite candy! too bad it isn't available here in Philippines. |
Comments: Very fresh candy! |
Comments: I do love these. they remind me of my youth; my great aunt always had them on hand but doled them out only a few at a time, which was frustrating and only made me want them more - now i can have them anytime i desire! |
Comments: These remind me from when I was a kid and we would go to the local candy shop and have a great time eating these candies. I had trouble finding these until I checked here and there they were. Now I've been snacking on these ever since. |
Comments: I love this candy and I can't say one bad thing about it because I think it's perfect. I just wish I could afford to keep it around all the time. |
Comments: Delicious treat and always fresh! Flavors are so intense! |
Comments: i wish i could buy the blackberry candies seperated from the raspberries i favor the blackberry flavor better than the raspberries, but if i can't buy just the one flavor, i'll take them both anyway i dig to eat the blackberries first and then eat the rashberries very flavorful (they are hard to find) i only see these at cracker barrel stores |
Comments: I like to just grab a hand full and eat the crunchy outside and then chew the inside |
Comments: These have an addictive kind of taste and texture. I don't often have them but they are definitely my favorite candy, bar none. The first time I had them I bought them from a local candie store. There is a similar copycat product out there that uses larger dots on the outside of the jellies and are generally larger all around with a less vibrant color. Do not be fooled...Those are terrible! Jelly Belly makes the best Jellies by far! |
Comments: A great after-dinner sweet. Best if used as a special treat. |
Comments: love, love, love them !! simply the best !! |
Comments: This candy is so good that it is as if you are eating sweet berries. Even if you are too full for dessert you still can have these. You just can't hardly stop with one. |
Comments: I think I ate them all. They were gone within 1 week. |
Comments: I remember eating these when I was little as our local candy store sold them as individual pieces for a penny. I have always had trouble finding them until I found out that they were made by Jelly Belly. They are even better than I remembered. Coming straight from the factory or their warehouse they are fresh and the flavors burst in my mouth more so than ever. They do shed the candy dots a bit, but I don't mind as they usually shed them in the container which you can then eat as well. It is unfortunate that they do not last longer as they get eaten very quickly in my household. All in all a great tasting memory pleaser. |
Comments: I am obsessed with this candy! I would buy a package almost every week because I love them so much. Unfortunately, recently I cannot find them in stores anywhere, and trust me. I have searched everywhere. I could honestly eat them everyday if I could find them. I love them so so much! |

Origins News Round-up for December 6, 2013
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
We are often offended that God should have to accomplish anything in steps, as though that made him less divine and all-powerful. But engaging a child can be a fruitful remedy for the biases that have been woven into the fabric of our thinking over time.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
People who believe in miracles usually don't think of them as God's "breaking" the laws of nature but as God's being constantly attentive to his cosmos.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
Were one to propose creation by means of theistic evolution, some of the presuppositions for these responses to the problem of evil no longer function. Therefore, advocating some form of theistic evolution poses problems for standard explanations of the problem of evil.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
As I stressed in my column about the YEC view, creationism is ultimately about theodicy—it's not only about theodicy, to be sure, but the belief that animals must not have suffered and died before Adam and Eve committed the first sin is crucial to the "young" in Young Earth Creationism. To a significant degree, Theistic Evolution is also about theodicy.
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss.
Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "Did death occur before the Fall?", revised by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma. This question provides an overview of the issue and points readers to more resources within and beyond the BioLogos website.

The new LM16 LED Lamp matches the performance, appearance and ANSI form factor of the traditional halogen lamp, and it also works with a broad range of transformers and dimmers to replace it in existing systems. Embedded protective dimming circuitry and intelligent thermal software in combination with Cree's fanless housing design, help deliver a long lifetime of quality and performance.
The Cree LM16 50-watt halogen equivalent delivers 620 lumens (consuming only 9W) and the 35-watt halogen equivalent delivers 425 lumens (consuming only 7W). The new lamps are designed to provide a minimum of 25,000 operating hours, reducing the need to replace lamps. The 50-watt equivalent is dimmable to five percent on a broad range of dimmers and transformers, the vendor said.
