Customer Reviews
Hotel de l'Ocean. What a gem. We chose to stay in the room set aside for Brittany Ferry customers which was at the back of the hotel. 20 Euros per night for a front sea view was a bit too steep for us. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. No complaints. We made good use of the heated pool every day. A lovely wind down after a day of sightseeing. Mr & Mrs Mears, June 2013
Warm, comfortable modern hotel well placed in Concarneau for a short holiday break. Mr & Mrs Barlow, April 2013
La Ocean hotel is small and extremely clean, it has the most wonderful situation being right on the coast overlooking the sea. There are numerous walks to be had from the hotel; both along the coast into Concarneau itself or walking along the cliffs and around the bay. The meal we had in the hotel was delicious and a good choice on the menu. Highly recommended. Dyer Family, July 2012
A seaview room would be lovely as great views over bay from the front of hotel. Mr & Mrs Brothers, September 2012
Hotel was lovely in a good position, a bit of a walk from Concarneau centre and Ville Close. Hotel restaurant served excellent evening meals, staff were efficient and friendly. Mr & Mrs Dowell-Bennett, August 2012
This is a very well run, clean and extremely friendly hotel. All staff were extremely helpful. Swimming pool and proximity to the beach were added attractions. Seamark Family, August 2012
The hotel was excellent - no faults The Warings, August 2010
Very clean & comfortable. Ideal location Mr & Mrs Franklin, May/June 2010

Some Curves/Average Height
These jeans are sexy, fit like a glove, and have the most beautiful color. I am a size 24 in Paige Denim and always choose between a 7inch and 7.5inch rise. When I tried them on for the first time I knew the website measurements were off. Sure enough I measured them myself and the front rise is 8inches. I don't have a torso long enough to rock a 8inch rise, so these babies are going back.
Some Curves/Tall
I bought this in my usual size 27 referencing fit guide as being true to size. However, I find it a little tight at the waist unlike the J Brand legging I bought in the same purchase which fits snugly. I am 5 '7 and the length ends nicely at the ankle though the waist is a little high and make my hip looks fuller which I dislike. Sadly, am returning this.
Newport Beach, CA
Some Curves/Short
I own close to 200 pairs of jeans including many pairs of skinnies, and these are the very best pair of skinny denim I have tried. Most of my collection is from Paige and J Brand, since they carry tts 23 unlike True Religion and Siwy which run larger. My measurements are 31-22-31, and the Paige Verdugo fit perfectly all the way to the ankle. They are darling when tight-rolled twice keeping the hem at the top of my feet. The color is a deep inky blackish blue which makes them great for dressing up.

He'll be fine except for, you know, priority moves. But it's not like those are common, right? Shuckle doesn't have good speed so it is kind of like all moves are priority against him & with the defence he has with power trick, not going to last very long with a pokemon at his level.

Topped Cottonwoods - "roadside attraction" on NE 90th Street |
The problem is they girdled and topped these Cottonwoods growing in a stormwater facility further down the road. Wildlife habitat is abundant here. I just about gag everytime I have to pass them. Anyone driving to Comcast, the Eastside Gym, Vertical Club, or any number of office buildings has to look at it.
The City is setting a painful example to citizenry and students of what NOT to do with trees. Comments?

Have you ever looked in the mirror at your eye when you turn the lights off? Well, if you haven't, then you're missing out on a really cool opportunity :).
When you first turn off the ligths before you go to bed, your pupil larges in size!! :O This happens because your eye needs to work harder to see in the dark. And your pupil shrinks very quickly when you turn the lights on in the morning, because your eyes havn't been used to the light. Very cool stuff, I know.

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Can the social networking giant live up to all the hype surrounding its impending IPO.
Dividing us -- venture capital heavyweight Tim Draper managing director of Draper Fisher.
And -- then.
Gonna get the last name of that partnership correct I sure hope so yes she did very very well thank you aren't so did you hear any scoop about what went on in the meeting today -- sentiment the mood.
Give us some color -- Yeah I think I actually think FaceBook is a great company and.
I think it's going to be to lead us.
Two maybe a new new set of opportunities for companies to go public.
But companies really have to be worth about a two billion dollars to go public.
I think there -- the rules and regulations have gotten so stringent that it's only there really really large companies that.
Can can stomach that the expenses the associated with going public but boy FaceBook.
What a great company grade IPO there is coming I'm sure.
-- trade up for after market I think it'll be terrific.
IPO and -- -- Read -- reinvigorate the the markets to recognize -- the value of technology.
Well Tim what specifically.
Would you -- what question do you have for mr.
Zuckerberg about.
That that might make you more or less anxious to invest more of your money.
-- -- -- You we've had probably wouldn't invest now but but would have way back when.
-- should we got out bid.
That I would be looking for user numbers see if they're continuing to grow -- look for.
Usage how how long is -- user staying on.
I'd be looking for how Weathers the advertisers are are growing it still it the rates that they were growing.
Before I think there are a lot of interest thing.
Charts and graphs that -- I would look at before.
Jumping in and and seeing what the future holds for FaceBook but I I got -- about -- -- I would point out -- yeah.
You are a private investor but you wouldn't by the public offering at all.
No I would invest in -- I would invest in I tender investing companies when their private.
And that's what -- that's what my role isn't so that's where -- I'll probably stick our V.
In fact the the public markets.
Have gotten to be a little bit.
Erratic and I think a lot of that is because some companies don't want to be public anymore and some companies.
Are benefiting from the public markets.
But I think that there's there's a disconnect and I think the jobs that might have a big impact on this so I encourage the FCC -- -- is.
-- the jobs act makes it easy for folks to to actually investing companies over the Internet and this this act actually might.
Increase the amount of money that small startups can get from the Internet.
Yes there's there's a crowd funding.
There's a a piece for general solicitation which allows.
Companies to in effect let the world know that they are raising money.
And and then there's a part that makes the regulations a little easier first for companies who want to go public.
And all three of these really need to go through FCC regulatory.
View and and hopefully SEC gets through that very quickly so that we can get on with our lives so do you expect a flurry of social companies -- -- social media companies tend to go public.
Maybe even FaceBook really is the dominant social.
-- company I think that there will be other.
Consumer Internet companies companies like -- or maybe even social cam or.
Or or some of those companies and I think some of these enterprise software companies.
Scheerer CRM there I think there are going to be some good.
Good public offerings from the Internet and they look all very promising.
I and I think FaceBook does lead the charge here I think it makes it so that people start focusing on.
Going public or at least listing I think people might start listing on expert financial -- If if those companies want to stay private.
But still be listed -- have tradable shares Tim Draper always a pleasure to have you on Tim thank you very much for coming -- appreciate.
Great to be -- thanks so much.

Commissioners David Foy, District 2, and Lea Ann Laybourn, District 3, were sworn in by District Judge Kevin Hoyer before the regular reorganization meeting of the commissioners Tuesday, January 8. During the reorganization meeting, the commissioners chose Laybourn as Chairman of the board, and Foy will serve as Chairman Pro-tem. Terry Hart is commissioner for District 1.
During the course of the meeting, there were many resolutions that were passed as normal business. All the directors of the separate entities were approved, except for landfill supervisor and fair manager. The commissioners hoped that by the end of the meeting, a supervisor for the landfill will have been chosen. All county employees were also approved by the commissioners
In a meeting with Laybourn and Foy, the commissioners talked about some of the business they have been doing. On December 27, the commissioners passed Resolution 151-2012, which states that any requests for a store to sell marijuana or any products using marijuana will be denied.
As Foy said, in talking about Amendment 64 which legalized marijuana in the state, "We will sit here and twiddle our thumbs at the county level, while the state legislators during the legislative session tries to iron out all of the problems created by this poorly worded Constitutional amendment."
Both Foy and Laybourn agree that there are numerous problems associated with this bill and no one knows what will happen.

Community Technology
Community Groups and Technology Survey Results March 2001
In order to understand how useful information technology tools are for local community groups, the Department of Information Technology and the Department of Neighborhoods created and distributed a survey to community and neighborhood groups. The goal of this survey was to learn about the ways that technology is currently being used in neighborhoods and to find out what sort of assistance is needed to help neighborhoods use technology more effectively. The survey was distributed to a list maintained by the Department of Neighborhoods, including representatives from Neighborhood Associations, District Councils, and local Business Associations. Surveys were sent by U.S. mail with postage-paid return envelopes, and via e-mail using the online survey tool "Zoomerang.com."
Three hundred and sixteen surveys were distributed, and a total of 91 organizations responded. Of those who responded, 75 percent were Neighborhood Associations, 24 percent were business associations, and 1 percent were District Councils.
Community groups are starting to move towards providing electronic versions of their newsletters.
Two-thirds (67%) of the groups surveyed produce a newsletter. Of those who do produce a newsletter, 31% say that it is available electronically, either through e-mail or the web. Of those whose newsletter is not available electronically, 53 percent say that it will be available electronically in a year and 47 percent say it will not.
Is your newsletter available electronically, either through e-mail or the web? (Base: Those groups that produce a newsletter)
E-mail is the most common way that group leaders are contacting other group members.
Respondents were asked to think about the last contact that they made with members of their group. Almost half (48%) of those surveyed say that their last contact with other group members was through e-mail. Eighteen percent say that their last contact was through a phone call.
Last Communication with Group (Base: All Respondents)
The majority of groups are using e-mail to communicate and find e-mail to be an effective communication tool.
Ninety-five percent of respondents to the survey say that they personally have an email address.
More than 4 out of 5 (85%) groups use e-mail to communicate with members. Those respondents who say no are evenly split between those who think their group will use e-mail to communicate in a year, and those who think their group will not in a year. Of those who do use email, 63 percent say it is very effective, 31 percent say it is somewhat effective, and five percent say it is not very effective. Only one percent of respondents feel that e-mail is not at all effective.
Effectiveness of E-mail for Communicating with Group (Base: Those groups that use e-mail to communicate)
Groups use e-mail for a variety of purposes including sending out meeting agendas (77%), sending out notices of events (74%), discussing issues (77%), and planning with officers/committees (75%). Forty-four percent of responding groups indicate that they use email for at all of the tasks listed above, 71 percent use e-mail for at least three of the four tasks, and almost nine out of ten (88%) use e-mail for at least two of the four tasks.
Members without access and trouble compiling e-mail addresses are keeping some groups from using e-mail.
Of those groups that do not use e-mail to communicate, three out of four (75%) state that it is because not enough members have access to e-mail. An additional one out of four (25%) say that other methods of communication work better for their group. Additionally, some groups commented that they do not have a good source for obtaining e-mail addresses from group members, and a number of those who do use e-mail to communicate with their group state that members without email access keep them from using e-mail all the time.
Although few groups are currently using listservs, there is high interest in seeing the City provide listserv services.
Of the group contacts who responded, only about one in ten (11%) indicate that their group uses a listserv to communicate. Of those who do not use a listserv, only 26 percent thought they would use a listserv one year from now. The largest barriers reported to using a listserv were not enough members with access (36%) and not knowing how to use a listserv (26%). When asked if they would use a listserv if the city provided the service, three out of four groups (76%) said yes.
Many community groups currently have or are planning to have web sites and see these sites as a way to raise awareness about their group and recruit new members.
More than two out of five (42%) of the groups that responded have a web site. Of the groups that don�t currently have a web site, 45 percent say that they will have one in a year while 55 percent say they won�t.
Does your group have a web page? (Base: All Respondents)
Those groups that have a web site were asked about the main purpose of their web site. Thirty-two percent responded that the main purpose is to raise awareness about their group and recruit new members, 21 percent said that it is to inform members about upcoming events, and 11 percent said to state their group�s position on issues that impact the community. An additional 11 percent indicated that their web site�s main purpose is all of the above. Twenty-five percent of respondents answered "other."
What do you consider to be the main purpose of your web site? (Base: Those groups with a web site)
Those groups with web sites have mixed feelings about the effectiveness of their sites.
Respondents were mixed about how effective their web page has been at accomplishing its purpose. Twenty-four percent say their web page has been very effective, while 41percent say it has been only somewhat effective and 30 percent say not very effective.
How effective do you feel your web page has been at accomplishing this purpose? (Base: Those groups with a web site)
Many groups feel that they do not have the resources necessary to maintain a web site.
Those groups that do not have web pages were asked about the barriers to having a web page. The majority (57%) responded that their group does not have the resources necessary to maintain a web page. An additional 31percent stated that they do not have the skills to create and maintain a page, and 22 percent say their group cannot afford a web page.
What are the barriers to having a web site? (Base: Those groups without web sites)
Community groups would like assistance in developing web pages and learning how to use technology more effectively for community development activities.
Respondents were asked what sort of training and assistance the City could provide to help their group use technology more effectively. This was an open-ended question and responses were post-coded by the most frequent responses. Fifty-eight of the respondents requested some sort of training or assistance. The other thirty-three either left the question blank, or responded that they did not need any specific technology training or assistance from the City.
Of those who responded, the largest number of requests (28%) were for training in developing and maintaining web pages. An additional 23 percent of requests were for general technology training and/or training in using technology for community development. Other notable requests included financial assistance (14%), web page hosting assistance (14%), and help with using email and listservs effectively (11%).
Requested Training and Assistance (Base: Those who requested some training or assistance)
This project is part of the City of Seattle Citizens Technology Literacy and Access initiative in cooperation with the volunteer Citizens Telecommunications and Technology Advisory Board (CTTAB) and Sustainable Seattle. Additional assistance for the forum is being provided by Progress Project of the Evans School of Public Affairs and the Glaser Progress Foundation and Seattle Community Network.

Therapeutic assessment
Therapeutic assessment is an innovative approach to psychological evaluation, which relies on collaboration between the assessor and client, as they work to help clients re-conceptualize their lives and move forward in their healing. Therapeutic assessment was developed by Stephen Finn (2007), Constance Fischer (1994) and others.
In the therapeutic assessment model, psychological testing is seen as more than just the collection of useful data. The goal is to make the assessment experience a positive and useful one for the client, and to help create positive changes in the client's life, in addition to gathering information that will be useful to the client and treatment providers. Therapeutic assessments are conducted so as to increase the probability of positive therapeutic shifts occurring.
In traditional assessment, psychological tests are used primarily for the purpose of diagnosis, treatment-planning, and treatment evaluation. In traditional assessment the main emphasis is typically on the collection of standardized data by an "expert" assessor, who then compares this data to norms and statistics to derive conclusions which he conveys to the patient or to a treatment provider.
The intent of therapeutic assessment is to create positive change. Clients and referring persons are engaged as collaborators, co-observers, and co-interpreters of test results. The client is engaged in framing the reasons for the assessment (the questions to be asked via the assessment), observing test responses and behaviors, discovering the significance of those responses and behaviors, and coming up with useful recommendations at the end of the assessment.
Therapeutic assessment can lead to positive psychological change for many clients:
Research has demonstrated that after a therapeutic assessment, many clients exhibit less distress and have higher self-esteem. In addition, valid and useful test data are collected, which may be used for diagnosis, treatment planning, or documentation of change after treatment. Documented benefits to clients from research on therapeutic assessment include:
- Decreased symptomatology in adults, children, adolescents, and couples (e.g., Jobes et. al., 2005; Tharinger et. al., 2009; Newman, 2004; Poston & Hanson, 2010)
- Increased self-esteem (e.g., Finn and Tonsanger, 1992)
- Increased hope (e.g., Finn and Tonsanger, 1992)
- Better compliance with treatment recommendations (e.g., Ackerman et. al., 2000; Ougrin, Ng & Low, 2008)
- Better treatment alliance with a subsequent psychotherapist (e.g. Hilsenroth, Peters, & Ackerman, 2004)
Research has demonstrated that the following features of therapeutic assessment lead to increased client satisfaction and therapeutic change:
- Giving feedback to clients
- Collaborative assessment techniques
- Informed consent
- Specifying the client's goals for the assessment
- Interactive rather than "delivered" feedback
- Clients feeling respected by the assessor
- Giving written as well as oral feedback to the client

Don't Squander Your EHR Investment
Despite the fact that more than
Why the hesitation? For some medical practices, it's probably about cost because some EHR vendors require additional fees to take advantage of the plug-ins. For other practices, it might be that their already overworked staffs just don't have time to learn and deploy the features or maybe they don't fully appreciate what these features can bring to a practice.
Understandably, most practices are already coping with enough IT obligations to keep them busy. Between the push to qualify for Meaningful Use and accountable care organization programs and the need to implement the ICD10 billing code system, most practices are swamped.
[ Is it time to re-engineer your Clinical Decision Support system? See 10 Innovative Clinical Decision Support Programs. ]
Despite these demands on your time and resources, it still makes good business sense to get these additional features up and running. A patient portal, for instance, can let your patients book appointments, request referrals to specialists, and pay their bills without having to talk to anyone on staff. And some EHR systems even let physicians send continuity-of-care documents to patients so that they can see a summary of their visits. Others have the capability to send lab results directly to patients, reducing the need for phone calls.
Another advantage of a patient portal, if set up correctly, is its potential to improve office workflow and clinical outcomes. In a recent conversation with George Brenckle, CIO and senior vice president at the UMass Memorial healthcare system, he said a system-wide patient portal is on his 2012 to-do list. In the meantime, UMass has seen positive results with a portal that focuses more narrowly on diabetic patients.
Patients who test their blood glucose at home can plug their glucose monitors into their laptops and send data to UMass Memorial's Allscripts EHR, according to Brenckle. Clinicians can then review that data in real time and alert patients by phone to any dangerous trends, rather than waiting for the patient to come in for his or her next visit.
E-prescribing is another EHR tool worth considering. Every clinican knows that handwritten scripts sometimes get lost in a sea of papers when patients walk out the door. When a practice fills those orders electronically directly from the office, it does away with that problem. A recent study conducted by the e-prescribing network Surescripts confirmed that e-prescribing makes a difference.
Surescripts, along with a group of pharmacies and pharmacy benefit managers, recently examined more than 40 million de-identified records of paper, phoned-in, faxed-in, and electronic prescriptions, and found the rate of first prescriptions actually being filled and picked up was 10% higher when prescriptions were written electronically. Higher first-fill rates generally lead to better medication adherence, fewer doctor visits, and reduced risk of hospitalization.
So given the advantages of patient portals and e-prescribing, it's worth investing the additional manpower and capital. What are you waiting for?
Healthcare providers must collect all sorts of performance data to meet emerging standards. The new Pay For Performance issue of InformationWeek Healthcare delves into the huge task ahead. Also in this issue: Why personal health records have flopped. (Free registration required.)

Gibraltar Museum
From GibMap
Situated in what is considered to be the best preserved Moorish Bath House in Europe, the Gibraltar Museum holds a vast display of artefacts, weapons, medals, ceramics, coins and postage stamps, as well as an extensive collection of bones, stone tools and other items of immense archaeological value.
There is also a magnificently detailed model of the Rock which was started in 1865 and completed in 1868 by the officers of the Royal Engineers - it occupies most of largest gallery, and the attention to detail is extraordinary, with every last window in every single building being included.
The Passage of Time Gallery takes you into a cave complete with archaeologists working in an excavation. Then there is the Great Siege Room in which weapons and artefacts from the eighteenth century siege are displayed and the events vividly described. There are galleries devoted to the wildlife of Gibraltar, and a 15-minute film "The Story of Gibraltar" which summarises Gibraltar's long and intense history.

Online Reservations
Booked for a pre-show dinner, so we were there fairly early; it was not crowded but more people were coming in as we left. Interesting decor retains charm of old building with modern urban updates. Attentive service: efficient without being obtrusive; quick and accommodating of our requests. Extensive and inviting menu - lots to chose from, but not overwhelming with clear explanations of dishes. Several mix plates to chose from; some good values for larger groups. All food ordered was very good. Short but nice wine/beer list - several Turkish selections, as well as quality US and international.
Really a middle eastern food treat with lots of subtle variations on the menu, but kind of cramped space with tables nestling upon each other
This was a nice find on Open Table; quiet place with great food and friendly hosts. Parking on North Charles Street may be a little difficult, but if one is willing to take a short walk, the side streets offer good parking spots. Valet parking is also available for $5. Cazbar also hosts authentic belly-dancing performances on the weekend evenings.
I have been to Cazbar many times and always leave happy. The food is amazing, the service is great and the ambiance makes for a great dining experience. Try the pomegranate wine!
I was blown away by the quality of my meal – everything was outstanding. We ordered a bunch of small plates and all were top notch. I will definitely be back!
I am never disappointed when I eat at Cazbar. Over the past five years, I have tried most of the menu and everything is always well-prepared, fresh and tasty. This is a great place to eat whether in a group or solo.
We have been here several times now and always had a fantastic experience. Incredibly long list of small plates but also delicious main courses. The grilled meats are a carnivore's delight, but there is a very extensive list of vegetarian dishes as well (they must have at least five different eggplant dishes alone). Everything is flavorful and nicely presented; prices are very reasonable. If you like Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food, this place is a very welcome change, as I have had dishes here I haven't seen anywhere else. The desserts always look tempting, but there are so many other dishes to try I never have room to spare. Perhaps next time, which I hope will be soon.
very attentive service. lots of warm bread kept coming. essentially, the cuisine is the same as Greek. so if you like that, hit it up best eggplant salad (babaganoush) I've ever had the shrimp in feta and tomato was fresh and tasty too. would surely go again. made me want to go to Istanbul
Three of us needed a place for an early weeknight dinner. We found Cazbar on TripAdvisor, and were very pleased with our experience. Good was delicious, service was prompt and friendly. Highly recommend the babaganoush!
Have always enjoyed eating here. It's a perfect place to stop off after work and the staff are very friendly. The spices are awesome in the food that they prepare and the portions are very generous. In a way, it is probably good that I don't live close by because I'd be in there way too much and probably have to buy a new wardrobe.
Highly recommend this restaurant as it has something for everyone. We started off with the "Three mezzes." which were delicious and included just enough mouthwatering bread to accompany them. I had the lamb shiskabob, moist succulent and delicately flavored. My husband had the calamari which was okay but could have included large pieces of calamari. We shared the apple tart with vanilla ice cream for dessert--really luscious. Our dinner reservation was fairly early so it was still quiet. Very competent and quick service. We have been there for lunch too and it is always excellent. And at dinner they have valet parking so you don't have to worry about finding a parking place.
I was surprised the hostess said I can wait for the rest of my party at the table. This is unheard of in NYC! If I am early, I usually wait in the bar. I asked the hostess if I can sit upstairs so we can watch the belly dancing show. She was very accomodating and seated me upstairs - which was another plus! Our waiter was very nice and gave me a glass of water right away. He even got my drink order even before my friends showed up. Our waiter made some appetizer, main course and dessert recommendations. I liked the app acili ezme - if you like spicy! Main course: adana kabab - awesome! Baklava - too moist and dripping with honey -I've had better in Dubai. Only thing I did not like were people were smoking hookahs and the smoke got to me.
Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Cazbar. We've had Turkish food a few times before and thought this was better than what we've had. We had an early Sat. eve. dinner so can't speak to noise levels if it was crowded. Staff were very accomodating, turning the fan off for us and everything was with a smile. We plan a return trip.
Went for lunch. Doner sandwich was good, not fantastic. The cup of soup that came with it was the tiniest I've ever seen, plus the taste was nothing to write home about. Saksuka, however, was delicious and the bread that came with it was excellent. Considering only one waitress was working the room, she did an adequate job, but my water glass was not full, when I needed it to be...
Falafel and margarita sandwiches are awesome. So is seafood salad. Had a great lunch with my wife. Owner was present and very attentive.
My sweetheart and I wanted to give this try during Baltimore's restaurant week, It was delicious. The servings were plentiful and we had enough to take home for another meal. The roasted vegetables with yogurt sauce was terrific. I loved the Turkish decor and the belly dancers at 10:00 were fabulous. The service was great and the restaurant was a cozy incredible neighborhood find. We will definitely be back. Thank you Cazbar staff!
I usually come here at least twice a week for lunch -- it is that good.
The food was very good and the wine was great. The belly dancing was good entertainment. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
First and foremost the food was VERY good...and quite frankly...isn't that the most important thing. Based on that alone I'd recommend the place. The decor was also very nice as well as how the tables were situated. Uncramped and convenient. Prices were reasonable. Now for the not so great. Service was only "so-so". Our server was well mannered and professional but they swapped our appetizers and since we were unfamilar with Turkish food in general we didn't recognize it until we are almost done eating them. They forgot a drink order I had made...buu the time they realized it I was already finished with my dessert so I told them nevermind. To polish off the night the valet brought us the wrong vehicle. A pickup instead of an Audi?
The food at Cazbar is consistently delicious and the service is great!
The lentil soup and hummus was very good,I enjoyed much.
Excellent Turkish food. Everything outstanding. One could order all appetizers and have a fabulous meal. They were extremely accommodating with my gluten free needs as well. 11 out of 10!!
The menu has lots of choices and the staff is willing to help with translations. The food was excellent and our server was attentive and helpfu. The ambience was very nice.
We booked Cazbar because it had 1000 points. We were very pleasantly surprised at the total experience. The food was excellent. I had a lamb dish that had no typical lamb flavor . Tender and delicious. My wife's meal was also excellent. We'd go back in a heartbeat. Very friendly service.
Want to bring back memories of Istanbul? Want to find out what visiting Istanbul would be like? Then just drop by Cazbar and have a great Turkish dinner-their lamb is the best. As is their Turkish pumpkin soup, desserts, and coffee. Remember, they do use middle eastern spices. Have returned several times and they always deliver.
No complaints about any of the food. It was all wonderful. The fruit wine was like sangria with a bit of spice that made it special. Definitely returning, hopefully staying late enough to catch some of the belly dancing.
A friend and I tried this place for dinner in early September. My friend ordered the Doner Kebap (shaved strips of lamb and beef) and raved about it. I had a similarly outstanding experience with the Adana Kebap (ground lamb w/ spices). The portions are generous. The rice is very well-seasoned and delicious; I am not one who eats much rice, but I would come back for a bowl of rice here any day. The service is very friendly and courteous, perhaps a bit unpolished (late teens/early 20s) but they took great care of us. Prices are very reasonable for quality and portions of food; dinner for 2 plus a couple of beers and we got out of there for $65 including 20% tip. I'll definitely be back.
relaxed, casual atmosphere, cool brick walls, waiter friendly and helpful. Great food especially the mixed sampler!
Great place, great food, and something different! You must give this place a try.
...trying Turkish food! I am glad we went here for my girlfriend's birthday. We love trying different cuisines and this was a great introduction. We will definitely return.
This is a small restaurant that can be easily missed going by it on the street. The food is quite tasty, very exotic flavors, but it's a little over priced. The service is exceptional; all the wait staff checked in on us without being annoying.
Always wonderful food, expertly prepared. Quiet, inviting atmosphere. Staff is always attentive and cordial. Facitlities are very clean.
The food was great - truly authentic and well cooked. The staff was knowledgeable and efficient. The ambience was so so but the belly dancers were great.
Food very good. Menu has changed a bit, and as with most changes, it looks like that means higher prices. Not sure if I can afford to visit as often anymore.
Great atmosphere. The Turkish cuisine was tasty and authentic.
Our waitress was very nice, professional, attentive without hovering and very accomadating.
We sat against the wall next to Hookah bar and I smelled smoke throughout my visit. Service was friendly, knowledgable but slow. Food was good, a littl better than average I suppose. Prices were 30% higher than expexcted. I did like the atmosphere.
Our latest visit to Cazbar was just as good as our previous ones. We had very good service and the food like always, was very good. I did notice that one particular item on the menu, the Turkish Tour had a significant rise in price. It used to be $39, but is now $50. However, the price is not updated on the website menu. We have tried various items from the menu and haven't been disappointed in anything we've ordered. Recommend Cazbar for a nice casual evening out. Parking can be a bit tricky as the street spots fill up quickly and you may have to circle the block a few times before you'll be able to find a spot.
Slow. Service and a bit pricey. Very good lamb and appetizers.
I went to Cazbah with tow of my girlfriends on a Saturday evening. We shared several "mezas" which were delicious. The portions were just the right size to fill up, but not overeat. The wine selection was fabulous and our waiter was very attentive and made perfect recommendations. The bill at the end of the night was very reasonable and that was with a bottle of wine.
love to bring guests from out of town here and we always have an incredible time! thank you for your hospitality and wonderful food!!
We arrived to a fairly empty restaurant on a Friday evening with a party of six. After a brief unpleasant experience being seated at an uncomfortable table, and having to argue in order to be moved, we were accommodated at a nice table with an excellent, attentive server. Our table ordered and enjoyed the chicken kebobs, a variety of pides, and the mixed grill. We also had 2 appetizer sized orders of manti, which were delicious! I would suggest if you make a reservation, and you want to hear each other speak, to ask for a table which is not in what they call the "lounge."
We were looking for Turkish food and belly dancing on Saturday night in Baltimore and the Cazbar exceeded our meager expectations. The upstairs lounge is darkly lit and intimate. Others are smoking hookah but its not bad, it just lends the air a sweet smell and makes night unique. We had an Italian wine (under $30) and the eggplant roll and zuchinni appetizers they were both delicious with fresh ingredients. The appetizers also came with a very good bread, which was almost like pizza dough. For our main course we shared the chicken saute which came with rice and a salad and to finish we had turkish coffee and baklava. The coffee came in the most beautiful silver vessels. It was a very fun find in the heart of Baltimore. We will be back!
My fiancé took me here for my birthday and I absolutely loved it. Our waiter was extremely friendly and helped navigate us through the menu. We stayed to watch the belly dancer and he made sure to extend the service so that could happen. The belly dancer did an amazing job as well! My fiancé an I each got 2 drinks, appetizer, entrees and each got dessert and were very impressed by the bill. We expected to pay a good amount more for such great food. The lounge was dimly lit and decorated beautifully which made for a great date night.
This experience was great! The staff was professional. Belly dancing was extremely entertaining. Food was delicious!
I luv different types of food from all cultures and this one you must try. The hostess and the waitress was very knowledgeble about the menu and excited to have us there. The waitress was helpful in helping us to decide our choices. But the promise from both was that we would luv it. The food is very good truly. The lamb was tender and you didn't need anything to luv the rice. The drinks were awesome as well.They have their own twists along with their own list of Turkush liquors. You won't be disappointed. Its more of an intimate or private restaurant not for families with kids. Its more intimate which is what I truly like. also has an upstairs with belly dancing entertainment. afriend or your special loved one. You will luv it.
I chose this spot for my friend's birthday party and requested to have a great table where we could enjoy the belly dancers. One out of our friend's is very hard to please. To my surprise, she had nothing bad to say about Cazbar. She right away liked the ambiance. She ate every bit of her food from her plate. This in itself is a testament to this amazing place. The belly dancers were amazing. They interacted with the audience which was very well received. Everybody of my friends wants to come back as soon as possible.
The Sultan Platter (small for 2 people, large for 4 people) is an absolute bargain at $65 (small). The mixed Meze plate includes babaganoush, hummus, and a few other cold Turkish mezzes that are fresh and delicious; the bread they provide to eat these with is also very good. Then the main course comes with the works and the rice is amazing. For dessert you get rice pudding. For about $33 per person, I challenge you to find a better deal for the quality and quantity of food in a large metro area. I love it here. The service is also excellent. The servers/waiters are generally younger (early 20s) and are attentive, friendly, and courteous. I've been 3 times in 2 months and will be back again.
I love dining at Cazbar! The manager recognizes me and the waitress is beautiful. Everything on the menu is good!
Pleasant decor, great wait staff, very enjoyable ethnic foods with a good mix of veggie and vegan dishes one would not ordinarily associate with Turkish cuisine (in addition to the lamb and beef staples one would), Cazbar does a great job of making you feel at home and serving food that pleases the palate at very reasonable prices. the appetizers and desserts alone are worth a visit, and everything else tastes equally fresh and home-made. The location is too often overlooked, unfortunately, when thinking of Mt. Vernon eateries as being North of the square, but it deserves a place among the few most welcoming and enjoyable ones.

"There are no B1G refs in basketball, just NCAA refs that work in different areas" post. But I think it might still be an issue in terms of style of play. |
44 weeks 6 days ago | I would agree with this in general |
The one thing I would question is how much our ability to avoid foul trouble is related to the B1G refs. It's conceivable that some of the reason why we pick up so few fouls has to do with the refereeing. I don't think this will be too much of an issue because 1. Our generally less physical style of play means we'll have less of a dropoff than other Big Ten teams and 2. Going down a bit from having the 4th fewest (or whatever the rank is) fouls won't hurt us that much. So I would agree that the switch will benefit us but, beyond opening up the offense, it might force us into some tactical changes on the defensive end. |

More than a quarter of American adults – 26% – used their cell phones to learn about or participate in the 2010 mid-term election campaign.
In a post-election nationwide survey of adults, the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project found that 82% of adults have cell phones. Of those cell owners, 71% use their phone for texting and 39% use the phone for accessing the internet. With that as context, the Pew Internet survey found that:
If a respondent said she or he had done any of those activities in the last campaign season, we counted that person in this 26% cohort. Throughout this report we call this group "mobile political users" or the "mobile political population."
Some 71% of cell owners say they voted in the 2010 election, compared with 64% of the full adult population in this survey who say they voted. (Note: The overall reported turnout was about 40% in the election. It is common for post-election surveys to hear from a greater number of people who say they voted than was actually the case.) There was no partisan tilt in the makeup of the mobile political user population. They split their votes equally between Democratic and Republican congressional candidates – 44% to each. About 2% said they voted for other candidates and 10% didn't answer the question or said they didn't know. Generally, there were few partisan or ideological differences in way this group used their cell phones for politics.
In most cases, those ages 18-29 were more likely than those in older cohorts to use their cell phones for getting and sharing political information.

Sal's old Maclaurin and Taylor series tutorial
Polynomial approximation of functions (part 7) The most amazing conclusion in mathematics!
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- Welcome back.
- So let's continue where we left off.
- So we had this intuition that i must have something to do with
- these sign changes, right?
- The pattern of the sign changes of i are very similar to the
- pattern of the sign changes in the Maclaurin representation of
- cosine of x plus sine of x.
- And then we also saw that the i's, whether they're positive
- i's or negative i's, correspond to the sine terms.
- So let's do a little experiment.
- And it's not an experiment because I know where this
- leads to, but it could have been an experiment.
- What is e to the i x?
- Well, raising anything to the i power really isn't defined.
- I mean, i, itself, was created by a definition.
- We said, "i squared is equal to negative 1 by definition." So
- i is a bit of a definition.
- So if we haven't defined what something to the i power is
- yet, we really don't know what to do with it.
- But let's just say that we can treat i just
- like any other number.
- And we do know what happens with i when you put
- it into a polynomial.
- That's one thing we do know.
- In fact, that's one of the reasons why i was defined in
- first place was so that people could take roots of all
- polynomials, even ones that didn't have real roots.
- So what happens if we take e to the i x?
- Well, I don't know what that is but we know we could put that
- into the Maclaurin representation of e to the x
- and actually, since you're taking my leap of faith, that
- that is equal to e of x and all of its derivatives are equal to
- e to the x's derivatives at x equals 0, it's not
- that hard to imagine.
- And actually, you could plot the graph of this and you'll
- see that they're identical.
- So if we take the Maclaurin representation of this,
- everywhere we see an x we just replace it with an i x, right?
- So that will be 1 plus i x plus -- let me just write it -- plus
- i squared x squared over 2 factorial.
- Oops. i squared x squared plus i to the third x to the third
- over 3 factorial plus i to the fourth x to the fourth over 4
- factorial plus i to the fifth x to the fifth over 5 factorial.
- I don't have to keep going.
- Plus, and it just keeps going, right?
- So what happens when you simplify that?
- So that equals 1 plus i x -- What's i squared?
- That's negative 1, right? -- minus x squared
- over 2 factorial.
- What's i to the third?
- That's minus i.
- So it's minus i x to the third over 3 factorial
- plus i to the fourth.
- So what's i to the fourth?
- That's just 1 again.
- So we get plus x to the fourth over 4 factorial.
- And then we have -- what's i to the fifth?
- Plus i times x to the fifth over 5 factorial.
- It just keeps going.
- We have something interesting here.
- Now, all of a sudden, we have something extremely similar to
- this except for only one difference.
- Compare that to e to the i x.
- The dots on my i's always get merged.
- Compare these 2 things that I'm circling.
- What's the difference?
- Let's see the 1, 1.
- Well, here, I have an x, I have an i x here.
- Then minus x squared over 2 fact -- so these
- terms are the same.
- Then on the x to the third, the signs are right but have an i.
- And then, x to the fourth over 4 factorial -- that's identical
- -- but then on x to the fifth, I have an i.
- So the only difference between this and this is on the terms
- that involve sin of x, right?
- So what are the terms that involve sin of x?
- This term corresponds to that term, right?
- This term corresponds to that term.
- These are the terms that correspond to sin of x
- in this representation.
- That term corresponds to that term.
- And the only difference is -- so this has all of the terms
- that the sin of x would have but they all have an i in
- front of them, right?
- Even the sign is right.
- This is negative, that's negative.
- But this just has an i in front of it.
- So it turns out, that you could rewrite this, right?
- You could rewrite this representation.
- Well, it doesn't turn out.
- It's pretty obvious you could rewrite it.
- Let me clear this just so we get a --
- So we could actually rewrite that e to the i x.
- And we could write it -- we could separate out the
- imaginary terms and we could separate out the real terms.
- What were the real terms?
- Well, the real terms were 1 minus x squared over 2
- factorial plus x to the fourth over 4 factorial minus x to the
- sixth over 6 factorial.
- And it just kept going to infinity, right?
- Those were the real terms.
- That's to infinity dot dot dot.
- This pen tool looks like minus signs.
- I don't want to do that.
- Oh, I can't undo it.
- So this is just dot dot dot.
- So those are the real terms, essentially.
- And then, the imaginary terms -- it was plus -- well, all of
- these terms are going to have i on them, right?
- So let me just take the i out.
- So, plus i times -- and we figured out that those terms
- were x minus -- well, I don't want to give it away too fast
- -- x to the third over 3 factorial.
- Plus x to the fifth over 5 factorial minus x to the
- seventh over 7 factorial and it just kept going on, on,
- and on to infinity, right?
- Well isn't this the Maclaurin representation of cosine of x?
- And similarly, isn't this the Maclaurin representation
- of sin of x?
- Well yeah, sure.
- And you probably realized it in the previous screen where I
- showed that all of the imaginary terms corresponded
- to the sin of x terms.
- And all the real ones, likewise, were the cosine of x
- when we we compared it to sin of x plus cosine of x.
- So if you believe me, that the Maclaurin representation of e
- to the x is equal to e to the x and the Maclaurin
- representation of cosine and sin of x are equal to those
- functions, then all of a sudden, we come up with this
- bizarre and amazing and mystical idea that e to the i x
- is equal to cosin of x plus i times the sin of x.
- And this is called Euler's formula.
- And actually e stands for Euler.
- That's where it comes from.
- Euler starts with an E.
- But this is amazing.
- Not only have we found a relationship between this
- bizarre, mystical, magical number, e, and these
- trigonometric functions that we defined as a ratio of the sides
- of right triangles, but now we're involving this other
- mystical, magical number that we invented just so that all of
- our polynomials would have some root, whether or not
- they're real or not.
- We have this number, i, all of a sudden showing up.
- This by itself is amazing.
- But now we can take it one step further and this
- should blow your mind.
- If it doesn't, then you have no emotion.
- I will just judge you.
- So if we take this and, essentially, we're taking it
- that when you take something to the i power, that you can just
- substitute it into this Maclaurin repres -- but I
- won't go into the details.
- But I think you can say that this is a pretty
- reasonable proposition.
- But what happens if we take something to the pi power?
- If e to the i pi power?
- Before, we didn't have any way of saying, "Well,
- what does that mean?
- Taking something to the i pi power?" But now we do because
- we're saying that these 2 sides of this are
- equal to each other.
- So what happens?
- Let me do this in a bold color because it deserves to be bold.
- e to the i pi is equal to well, where x is pi, is equal to
- cosine of pi plus i sin of pi.
- Well what's cosine of pi?
- This is equal to negative 1.
- And sin of pi, well that's just equal to 0.
- We get e to the i pi is equal to negative 1.
- This is amazing.
- Or you could also write e to the i pi plus 1 is equal to 0.
- Once again, amazing.
- Either of these should make you question your take on reality
- because we have the number pi, which is a ratio of a
- circumference of a circle to its diameter.
- We have the number, e, that comes from a continuous
- compound interest.
- And then we have the number, i, which you can say the square
- root of negative 1 or it squared is negative 1.
- And they all come together.
- This formula right here involves all the fundamental
- numbers in mathematics but they come from completely
- different directions.
- Completely different directions.
- And although we can prove this and we can say this is true,
- I'll tell you no one -- no one -- probably in the history
- of mankind, fully understands why this is.
- This is just a glimpse on some type of order in the universe.

Joshua Lionel Cowen Born August 25, 1877 – September 8, 1965 Toy Car Patent #: 1,113,312
Inducted 2007
Joshua Lionel Cowen invented model railroads in the early 20th century. Inventor Bio Born in New York City, Cowen attended the Cooper Union and Columbia
College. He spent numerous years experimenting with flash lamps, using
electrical current to set off a charge of magnesium flash powder to
provide a burst of light for indoor photography. After tinkering with
other uses for electrical current, Cowen envisioned using a small
electric motor, which he had attached to a blade to make a
battery-powered fan, to move a miniature car around a set of handmade
tracks. He pitched the idea to a local toy store, and the owner ordered
several sets. |

Okay, maybe not.
I have found, however, that little changes in how my day is structured and how I organize things, can make a big difference in how the household is run. So, for the month of June {and likely for many more months following!!}, I will be focusing on ways to get ourselves, our families, and our households more organized. I am starting things off today with a list of "30 Ways in 30 Days to Get Organized".
These are more general organization tips to get you started. The ideas may not all work for you, but hopefully you will find something to inspire you! Try one or try them all…. it is all what you make of it.
Organize in small doses.
There is no better way to kill your motivation than by overwhelming yourself. I know that you want your whole kitchen or your whole playroom to be organized today but start with one drawer or one cupboard and commit to keeping it clean. If you have organized it well, it should be quite easy to maintain.
Recognize your home's "Hot Spots".
We all have those places in our homes where the clutter tends to accumulate. Often times, it is the front entrance or kitchen counter. These are often good areas to start your organization magic and will probably be areas that you should check regularly for quick "tune-ups". Figure out what items end up there and create a new home for them. If it is not needed, get rid of it!
Yes, this is sometimes another hard one for us Moms. Find something that you love to do that is just totally for you and make the time to do it. It could be as simple as carving out 20 minutes to have a relaxing bath or read a book that has been collecting dust on your shelf. I am trying to give myself at least 30 minutes per day to do something that I enjoy {oh, and this does not mean watching a television show while folding laundry, dusting and doing dishes during the commercials!} This makes a happier, more well rested, productive, energy-filled you!!!
Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
Label as much as you can.
The more things that are labeled the better!! Not only does it help you stay organized, it helps everyone else in the household know where things go. It may take a little training, but even little munchkins pick up on this pretty quickly {actually the little guys usually know where things go more than hubby!} There are so many cute and creative ways to add labels these days and I'll be highlighting some of my favorite ideas later on in the month.
Make a Daily or Weekly To Do List
I am still experimenting with how to best do a 'To Do' list for myself and I really think it takes a little trial and error to find out what will work for you. What I have been finding works best, is to do a weekly To Do list of all the things I want to get done for the week. Then, each night before I go to bed, I put three "must do" items on my list for the next day. I will be doing a more detailed post on this later in the month so stay tuned!
Remember that perfection is the enemy to completion.
This, for me, is a BIG one! We all want to do things well but we cannot be perfect. Remember that doing something is always better than not doing anything because you do not have the time to make it perfect. {I think men are much better than women on this one!}
Follow the 80/20 Rule.
This is based on the premise that it takes just as long to complete the last 20% of a task than it does to complete the first 80%. All of those little nit picky details that only you would really notice take a lot of time but don't really make a big difference to anyone else. Yes, sometimes you need to spend a little extra time but, for the most part, I am trying to be happy with having everything 80% clean!!
Before you buy anything, think where you will put it and what function it will have. Even if you love an item {and marked down to 80% off!}, if there is no where for it to go or you will not end up using it, it will not be helpful to you. Instead, it will end up in a junk pile somewhere in your house or buried deep in a cupboard. This is also a great question to ask your kids before they buy that "must have" item.
One item in, one item out.
This one doesn't always apply but it is always a good to thing to think about. When you are buying something new, think of something that you already have that can be given away or discarded. If you are replacing an item, do you now really need two of them? If you bought a new pair of jeans, do you have an older pair that you don't really wear anymore? This also works great to help keep the kids' toys in check.
Be Realistic
When you are setting goals for yourself, start with small, specific tasks. As you see yourself crossing off items on your goal list, you will start to feel like you are actually accomplishing something. Feel proud of what you have done and use that to motivate you to continue on. Focus on what you have done and not on what you still have to do. Thinking about too many tasks often just sends us into shut down mode.
The easier something is to do, the more likely you will do it!! I have a couple of Command hooks on the inside of all my bathroom cupboards to keep my cleaning cloths handy as well as cleaning products in each bathroom. If something is in need of a clean, everything is right there. I know a lot of people prefer to use a cleaning caddy with all of their cleaning products in one place but, for me, that extra step of going to get it is often the difference between doing the task and procrastinating until later.
Store your items where you use them.
Sometimes you need to think outside the box for your storage ideas. Do your kids put on their P.J.s as soon as they come out of the bath? Why not store their P.J.s right in the bathroom. Do you have a craft room in the basement but often scrapbook on the kitchen table upstairs? Create a small craft caddy with some basic supplies to store upstairs. I keep one change of bed linens in each of the bedrooms instead of having a central linen closet. Go with whatever works for you!
Be mindful of your technology time.
Between the Internet, social media, Pinterest, blogs, texting, television, etc., your time can quickly evaporate! Often I get sucked into the computer and don't even realize how much time as passed. I am now trying to limit how many times per day I go on the computer and set a timer {usually on the upstairs oven so I have to get up to turn it off!} if I know I should only be on for a limited time. I find that by doing this, I actually enjoy my computer time more as I am just looking at things that really interest me and not mindlessly clicking away. Although I am pretty sure that I won't get around to doing all of the 1455 items that I have pinned on Pinterest, I will hopefully be able to get a few more of them accomplished!

Some say they're seeking outside therapy because they're dissatisfied with their VA health care. This morning, WUWM's Erin Toner revisits the clinic to report on another free service it provides – mental health services for the families of veterans. Family members don't qualify for care at VA hospitals.
Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources secretary Cathy Stepp has faced her share of controversy.Now, former Dane County executive Kathleen Falk is calling for her removal.Falk – one of four Democrats hoping to defeat Governor Scott Walker in a recall election – believes environmental enforcement has suffered under Stepp's watch.
An alarming number of suicides among American soldiers has/have been pressuring the VA to improve mental health services for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. As a result, the U.S. Veterans Affairs Department plans to add nearly 2,000 employees to reduce wait times for appointments. In Milwaukee, a growing number of vets dissatisfied with the VA have been supplementing their government care with therapy at an outside clinic. As WUWM's Erin Toner reports, it offers a less structured approach.

Clean and comfortable. Grab and go breakfast very limited, but the coffee was excellent. Pillows needed replacing but no big deal. Bed extremely comfortable. Thermostat build in so nice not having to turn on and off a/c manually.
