Summary: They started seeing patients in May 2002 on Mother's Day weekend, yet after barely 5 months of operation, the $3.5 million Providence Everett Comprehensive Breast Center at Providence Everett Medical Center in Washington State, with its cutting-edge technology, is on its way to reaching its goals. According to Dr.
They started seeing patients in May 2002 on Mother's Day weekend, yet after barely 5 months of operation, the $3.5 million Providence Everett Comprehensive Breast Center at Providence Everett Medical Center in Washington State, with its cutting-edge technology, is on its way to reaching its goals. According to Dr. Nancy Neubauer, the Center's Imaging Director, "The overriding aim of the Center is to become the area's centralized location to streamline quality breast care for the community, working in clinical parallel with the referring physicians and patients." The goal of the Center is to embody a comprehensive approach, she explains, working with breast surgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, pathologists, and all the myriad people who take care of women with breast cancer.
The Center now employs 25 full-time and part-time personnel, including 8 technologists. According to Dr. Neubauer, the Center's long-range goal is to see 90 patients a day. She says that she and the Center's Medical Director, surgical oncologist Dr. Thomas Smith, expect the Center to become a hub for breast cancer caregivers and patients. "We will be offering high-quality screening, diagnostic, and minimally invasive procedures onsite and providing continuity and comprehensive care with other referring physicians," she explains.
They now have four state-of-the-art Instrumentarium Diamond Mammography Units (Instrumentarium Imaging, Milwaukee, WI), a Mammo- Reader™ CAD (icad, Intelligent Computer-Aided Detection system, Boca Raton, FL), two ultrasounds, and two stereotactic units. One of the stereotactic units is a prone stereotactic table (Fischer Imaging, Denver, CO); the other is an upright Diamond Unit, which is an accessory kit to the Diamond Mammography Unit. One of the Diamond units (which will be operational by the end of the year) also offers three-dimensional breast imaging using TACT (Tuned Aperture Computed Tomography). The Center is planning a wide range of professional, wellness, and support services, including breast self-exam instruction, nutrition counseling, genetic counseling, second-opinion and peer survivor programs, a resource library, and educational programs for newly diagnosed women and their families.
The development of this busy modern center was not without some challenges along the way, says Dr. Neubauer. She acknowledges that although they are moving toward their goals, they are not quite there yet. Operational and technical problems still occur from time to time.
Despite these hurdles, the staff at the Center is in agreement that their vendor, Instrumentarium Imaging, has provided excellent service. The Manager of the Center, Claire Neal, says, "I like Instrumentarium because they are on top of their equipment. Not only are they here very quickly when we call, but they anticipate our needs, and come back here with their upgrades and updates." Lead technologist Teresa Murphy agrees, "Their support service has been outstanding." In fact, she adds that many of the suggestions the Center's staff made at the initial presentation were implemented into the newest model of Diamond machines. (The original Diamond was approved only in 2000.)
The Center houses four Diamond Mammography Units that it purchased from Instrumentarium Imaging. The new Diamond SP-cathode tube construction has a better gaussian intensity distribution on the focal spot, which is designed to make the finest details visible, especially with the small focus. Don Blomstrom, Vice President of Mammography at Instrumentarium, proudly announced that the Diamond Mammography Unit was selected as the best new product at the Radiological Society of North America meeting in 2000.
Connie Sheran, a medical imaging technologist at Providence who was involved in the purchase of the equipment, says that the product selection team "decided to purchase the Diamonds because of the quality of the image and ease of use." Adding to this, she says that they believed that this equipment "would take them into the future."
ECS (Easy Compression System)
One of the unique features of the Diamond is its Easy Compression System (ECS), which is designed to minimize discomfort. Any woman who has had a mammogram knows how uncomfortable it can be when the paddle presses down on the breast, squeezing and pinching skin in order to compress a woman's conically shaped breast into a rectangular shape for clear imaging. The ECS, on the other hand, is designed to minimize this discomfort through its bi-directional compression system. According to technologist Murphy, in the ECS, unlike traditional mammogram units, the movement comes from the bottom as well as the top. She says, "In the old way, you place the breast on the bucky [the portion of the machine that holds the film in place]; you then get the paddle as close to the chest wall as you can, sliding it down the chest to get the pectoral muscle in view. In doing this, the technologist may potentially tug down on the skin, which can be painful. With the Diamond unit, the breast is captured on the bucky, and the unit's Easy Compression System raises the breast up from the bottom, which is the mobile aspect of the breast." Ms. Murphy explains that although the patient still feels the technologist compressing the breast, there is often less discomfort because the skin is not pulled down along the chest by the paddle. Moreover, she adds that the technologist may include more of the pectoral muscle, which can optimize the image. She also notes that the Diamond has rounded the corners of the bucky, which is potentially more patient friendly.
Technologist Murphy is also impressed with Diamond's ParkBack tubehead feature, which allows the operator to move the X-ray tube out of the way when positioning the patient. "When we angle the machine, the tubehead is able to slide backward, enabling the technologist to visualize and manipulate the patient's positioning, without compromising the technologist's back." Ms. Murphy also likes the flexibility of the face shield on the Diamond. If necessary for challenging positioning, it can be removed from the top while the patient remains under compression, as opposed to having to release the compression and reposition the patient.
TACT (Tuned Aperture Computed Tomography)
This exclusive Instrumentarium technology reconstructs a three-dimensional image from a series of two-dimensional images taken with a digital receptor, allowing the radiologist to see objects within the dense part of the breast or areas obscured by superimposed structures. By using the automatic movement of the Diamond tubehead, the breast is imaged from different angles in ways not possible before, as a three-dimensional image or as layers, much as with a CT scan.
Ms. Murphy explains, "Mammography is still predominantly a film-based modality. Two-dimensional digital imaging produces the same results as two-dimensional film imaging; it is simply a different medium. Digital mammography is still in the trial stages and has not been proven to provide a better image than traditional film-based systems."
"For our traditional screening and diagnostic mammography, we are still film-based. TACT, on the other hand, is a three-dimensional digital image displayed on a monitor that can be manipulated to view the breast image from various angles with a computer-generated image. The advantage of the three-dimensional digital imaging is that it can differentiate a suspicious density as overlapping dense tissue rather than a solid mass. We can then produce various angled hard-copy film images for further evaluation. Essentially, we are producing a digital image and then photocopying it onto a piece of plastic that resembles a film mammogram."
Providence Everett Comprehensive Breast Center also has two icad (Intelligent Computer-Aided Detection) MammoReaders (distributed exclusively by Instrumentarium), which are utilized for all screening mammography.
A film-based mammogram is fed into the MammoReader, which displays a digitized image on a monitor for the radiologist to view. The MammoReader identifies suspicious areas automatically and landmarks them, indicating potential abnormalities. Radiologists first read the film mammogram, then compare their findings to the icad MammoReader's findings. The software is designed to analyze the image and highlight areas that contain features associated with breast disease. Currently the Center is using the MammoReader only for screening, not as a diagnostic tool, although it has recently been approved for diagnostic use.
The development of the center and choice of equipment was determined by a team of physicians, technical personnel, key administrative representatives, and breast-cancer survivors. The vision for the Center is to partner with equipment vendors to provide outstanding professional service to the community utilizing the latest breast imaging technology.
"We wanted to have a solid foundation that would support our desire to utilize digital mammography as it becomes the standard of care for women's breast health," explains Ms. Neal. "Our vision was to partner with a company that was investing its efforts in research and development of digital imaging. Instrumentarium provided the opportunity in two ways. First, all four machines produce standard film mammograms. One of the units can be used as a two-dimensional digital stereotactic device, as well as three-dimensional digital imaging (TACT). Second, all machines are upgradeable to digital imaging, so we will not need to purchase new units to move completely into digital mammography."
Today, Providence Everett is rapidly progressing toward completely fulfilling its vision of a unique breast imaging facility committed to providing integrated patient care and meeting the needs of the community. Through its ongoing partnerships with equipment vendors, physicians, Breast Center staff, patients, and the community, Dr. Neubauer hopes the Center will truly become "comprehensive."

Yea it may look good, and believe me it does , however i lost some performance running at those settings at 1280x1024. Now i get 8-16fps. Still playable to me(runs pretty quick when it hits 13) But if i set the resolution to 1024x768, i get 13-22. Only thing i refused to play at 1024x768 in Jericho anymore, because the game looks wash out and ugly looking. At 1280x1024, it looks like a whole new game. I found a fix for w2k users to be able to play it, so i will try to see can i play it on this rig in a few days. If i can, that would be awesome Nice screenshots btw.
Not a screenshot, but not bothering to make a new thread. Mission of IL2 on the weekend. Sounds etc are all mods. ask for links etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OncV5PZuNOw (watch in High Quality). Low frames caused by Fraps.
yes sir it does. I need my RAM to get here, damn Paypal, I need my payment to clear first I am waiting for it to try out Far Cry 2, still haven't played it. Also I'm dying to play some FSX again!
I feel left out LOL Crysis SP Demo... on mt Laptop Medium ...Some Resolution....I did Auto Choose Graphics
You're right. This game is pure WIN. FarCry2 was a complete waste of my time. Maybe you'll like it but it wasnt my thing. It's like a FPS Grand Theft Auto Safari edition. Just play MP then... which imo is also pure WIN.

This is truly a fantastic product. The writers and editors put in a lot of work to "get it right," and it certainly pays off. As the subtitle states, Eureka gives you 501 "adventure plots." Each plot starter contains enough information for you to expand the plot into a single adventuring session or perhaps a longer arc. The plot starters are sorted into three broad genres—sci-fi, fantasy, and horror—but are also tagged with more specific descriptors that cover both settings and plot features. Suppose, for example, that you're running a superhero game and you want a lighthearted scenario. With Eureka, you can flip over to "Index 1: Plots by Genre," and look for plots that are listed under both "Supers" and "Comedy" (#27 is the first one that fits both genre designators). Or maybe you want to take the superheroes into outer space; cross-references "Supers" in Index 1 with "interplanetary" in Index 2 to find a useful plot. Production values are very high. The PDF is thoroughly bookmarked, and the table of contents is hyperlinked. The download includes both "full" and "plain" (lacking background/border graphics) versions of the PDF. Eureka truly deserves the highest possible praise for an "adventure seeds" product.

WHAT WORKS: Utility is the watchword here. I didn't even scratch the surface of the plot seeds available in this book, and that's not getting into the twists, genre shifts and so on that you can apply to every plot seed in the book. The genre index breaks it down by sub-genre as well, so it's not just three big lists of horror, fantasy and sci-fi, but Grim and Gritty Fantasy, Gothic Horror, Supers, Western, etc. The hyper-linking throughout the PDF makes it incredibly user friendly above and beyond the searchability and book marking.
WHAT DOESN'T WORK: While digital books are gaining more and more ground, Eureka does seem priced above the sweet spot that I have unscientifically found the average PDF purchaser to have...especially for an art-lite, black and white book. However, with the "free PDF" deal, the biggest strike against this book is practically a non-issue. Sure, you will find a few plots that don't do anything for you, but there are plenty, plenty more plots for you to play with.
CONCLUSION: And in this case, art-lite is a huge boon to the book as it is CRAMMED FULL of material, and it is completely system-free, so it's not just a great addition for one of your RPGs, but for EVERY RPG. Unless you just never, ever get stuck for ideas, then this is practically a must-buy for any GM.

Forenote: I'll copy and paste these very same words for both Masks and Eureka+Masks bundle. Actually there is no reason (apart from starvation) to NOT buy the bundle.
I don't think it is worth the pain of writing a full-blown review for Eureka. Trolling the net you will stumble upon tons of enthusiastic opinions about this product. Here is mine!
I'll cut is short. If you fall in one of following descriptions:
- game master (or GM wannabe)
- designer/author
- writer
- illustrator/visual artist (yep, I'm serious)
then, simply put, buy this book. Maybe you still don't know but you need it. Dot.
If you don't, keep away! Reading such material could spoil years of gameplay, even if your master doesn't use it. Believe me!
This is one of that books that should be kept right behind GM screen (or in a writer secret drawer) to express its full potential.
With Crimson Exodus, this is the best product I've ever bought on this site.

(originally posted at TenkarsTavern.com)
Does anyone else remember the AD&D Encounter Cards? They were my GoTo Resource when I had nothing planned for Sunday's Weekly Game (which happened more often then I would lie to admit). I'd pull a few cards at random, figure out which one (or more) had a seed of something larger in it, and ran with it.
Eureka: 501 Adventure Plots to Inspire Game Masters is similar, but for the most part the plots are deeper on role-play the those old encounter cards ever were. The pieces here also tend to have more depth and dangling threads, as these are plots - or plot seeds if you will.
167 plots each for fantasy, sic-fi and horror, but you can tweak nearly all to fit outside their default genre. Which puts this at less then 4 cents a plot.
Did I mention this is a full bookmarked PDF? And that they are further broken down by Dramatic Structure? Nicely done. This, my iPad and Goodreader will have me making notes right on the PDF for the plots I want to use.

Other reviewers have gone into detail about what the book covers, so consider this more of a testimonial.
This is a book that any GM should have. Period. It has gotten me past GM's writer's block. It has helped me finish half-formed ideas for story arcs.
The fact that it's available in pdf makes it even better. While the indexes are impressive (to say the least), the ability to search for a keyword like "horror" or "space opera" and flip immediately to those entries is a huge value.

This one is going to be pretty short. This book is exactly what it says it is . . . 501 plot hooks. The helpful part of the book is that it is organized and indexed in several ways. Chapters focus on Sci-Fi, Horror, and Fantasy. Within the chapters, the hooks are organized by the general theme you are trying to convey. The book is then indexed so that you can pretty much pull anything out by any combination of the tags in a matrix. There is a broad set of themes, tons of cool hooks, and some introductory advice on building adventures.
This is a good book for GMs wanting to put some fun hooks into their games.

Nearly 300 pages of plots (usually two per page). EXTENSIVE hypertext linkage and 3 indexes, each adventure tagged for the genre and tone (cyberpunk pulp action). Although it uses as a focus the classic book "36 Dramatic Situations" it goes beyond that. Far beyond that. Includes GM advice and how to re-skim plots. Compares very favorably to the "Seeds" (supers/western/pulp) and the 100 (planets/adventures/conspiracies) series.

Normally I'm a big believer in do-it-yourself GM'ing, or fully fleshed out scenarios, and find hooks and the like very unsatisfying. So when I decided to review this, it was partly out of morbid curiosity.
I was pleasantly surprised.
Eureka basically lays out a ton of simple scenarios, but it does so in such a well-written and perfectly "fleshed-out-but-not-too-detailed-as-to-stifle-creativity" method that it is a bearable read.
Not only that, but almost all the plots can be run cross-genre, meaning that the fantasy plots (say, killing a bandit leader and causing a power vacuum) can be sometimes moved into a cyberpunk setting (replace bandits with gangs) or whatnot.
If you just can't think of one more adventure, but the next session is rolling around regardless, you can get a lot out of this book for its decent price. You can easily find a plot based on a specific element that you want to incorporate (or avoid ones on those you don't), and inspiration seems to flow freely.
I've spent a lot more money on things to try to get a better adventure than I have on this and come away from it with a lot less, if you want to get some surefire adventures, look no further than Eureka!

This book comes in both a full-color version and a printer-friendly version with the background and border imaging removed to save you toner/ink. It retails for $16.95 and comes in at 314 pages (that total includes the front and back covers). The book has an exceedingly slick layout that's pleasing to the eye and logically laid out – Darren Hardy, who did the layout for the book, did a great job. The editing on the book is also top-notch with very few grammatical mistakes or other issues.
The art, including the cover and the borders, are quite good – the cover is very nice and much of the interior is also nice (I especially like the borders) although with the variation in styles it's a bit of a mixed bag. While I would have liked to see interior art that tied more directly to the contents, doing so would have likely cut down the number of plots. The front and back cover are full color while the interior is black & white, but that doesn't detract at all from the book's appearance and means that the print version of the book won't be ridiculously expensive to print.
The indexing in the book deserves special mention because it's simply amazing. The book features multiple indexes: Four in fact. Index 1 indexes the contents by genre (more than 20 are listed) , Index 2 divides the plots by tags (more on them later), Index 3 breaks down the contents by title, and Index 4 breaks the plots down by author. The table of contents is also wonderfully detailed with fully functional hyperlinks to each of the ToC's entries, making having the PDF a huge plus.
Overall this is a very professional looking self-published book, something which GM advice books haven't always managed to pull off.
I am happy to report that the book's actual contents live up to its appearance. This is a great book, which is just as useful for a novice game master as someone who has been running RPG games for decades.
The book's contents opens (after a forward by Monte Cook and an introduction from one of the authors), with a sizable chapter providing game mastering advice which is largely aimed at explaining how to use the book's contents and the organizing philosophy driving the book's contents and organzation. Specifically, the plots all fit in to one of 36 themes (also known as the 36 Dramatic Situations, which are adapted from a book on dramatic plots by Georges Polti ). Furthermore, the plots are divided in to one of three broad genres: Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Horror. For those of you keeping score, there are 167 plots per genre (501/3) with each Dramatic Situation typically getting 4-5 adventure plots each.
Aside from genres and Dramatic Situations, Eureka also identifies each plot with a series of tags – these are similar to the way tags are used on the internet, providing a shorthand method of identifying significant elements that are part of that plot – tags include things like locations, goals, plot twists, and playstyle. For example, the "Web of Deceit" plot includes these tags: Betrayal, city, investigate, shady, stealth, tactical planning, trade, twist, and villain. Thus, with a quick glance a GM can see what types of elements are going to be involved with that particular plot and decide if it suits their needs as well as the style of the group. As mentioned earlier, these are all indexed at the end of the book (Index 2) making finding something based on a particular tag a snap.
Chapter 1 also includes tips on turning the adventure plots in to actual adventures and adapting plots, including how to create suitable NPCs, choose a location, and set the adventure in motion. The advice on adapting plots includes details on how to change the plots to suit your needs, including how to reskin or even remake the entire plot. This section is a great addition, especially for the novice GM, because it presents principles and methods which can be used outside the actual book's contents. For example, the principles might be applied to 4th edition D&D monsters to re-skin them to create something that suits your particular needs, or even applied whole scale to a pre-published adventure.
The first chapter finishes up with an explanation of the big three genres Eureka uses, and how the various sub-genres fit in to these (for example, Cyberpunk is a sub-genre of Sci-Fi), as well as a brief explanation of the various tags and themes used in the book.
My one criticism of this chapter is that it at times repeats itself. For example, very similar advice on how to use the tags is presented multiple times. However, this is a minor quibble and probably one which many readers will appreciate since the explanations are used in different contexts.
Chapters 2, 3, and 4 include the real meat of the book: 167 plots in each, with 1 to 2 plots presented per page. Each plot briefly outlines the set-up, situation, and predicted events of the plot, arranged so that a GM can extract enough scenes or encounters to fill an evening worth of gaming. This breaks down to roughly 3-6 scenes/encounters per plot, arranged in the most likely sequence that they will unfold. While it may sound like these are basically telling the GM "railroad the players to get them here", the information presented is very open ended and offered simply as possible events that might unfold. How closely one adheres to them or forces the structure upon the group is largely left up to the GM, and the previous chapter provides good advice on how to avoid simply running the plot as a pure railroad session.
As written, each of these plots could be use for a very improvisational session (basically using the set-up and running from there) or could be used to create a very organized and tightly orchestrated adventure. Similarly, while the goal is to provide a plot for enough material for a single session, there's the potential to get several sessions worth of material out of a single plot depending on how the group interacts with the situation.
How are the plots? Most of them are quite good. While not every plot inspired me – expecting that would be ridiculous given the book contains 501 of them! - almost all would work as the basis of an adventure and some are really good. For example, I really liked the Dark Changeling plot (p. 65) from the Fantasy chapter and the Faulty Memories plot from the sci-fi section. There are some real gems and in a pinch any one of these would work.
Eureka is a great product and one which I would wholeheartedly recommend to people – there's something in here for everyone, whether you're struggling to create your first adventure, are suffering from a creative block, or just want to break out of a rut. New GMs will find an endless wellspring of ideas, while experienced GMs can use the plots for last minute session prep or as inspiration when creating their latest adventure. As a PDF this is a must-have for taking to a con and I've already added it to my iPad as a permanent addition.

"Not a bad crash pad"
Not a bad spt to crash. Wall mart across the street, Chilli's across the street, right next to the freeway. Desk staff was great and helped me find a nearby place to watch a fight. Check-in/out fast and easy. NOt the fanciest but for the price, as good as can be expected.Verifierad gästrecension
"No breakfast, but comfortable beds"
I had to keep extending as this was for my husband's hospital procedure. They were very accomodating. The room was good for the money. The staff very helpful when asked. The cleaning crew tended to smoke outside the rooms they were cleaning so there seemed to be a smoke smell most of the time when exiting your room. Not in the room though. This was […] ground floor. I'll stay there again. MerVerifierad gästrecension

"Very convenient location!"
Outstanding rates and very convenient location!Verifierad gästrecension

"close to everything but prefer otherhotel"
The place needs some work hopefully it will upgrade it said spa n pool they aren't there at the location room service wasn't the best location good but I have seen betterVerifierad gästrecension
There was no hot water in the sink. The beds were old and uncomfortable. The air conditioner was noisy. The drapery had cigarette holes in them. For a no-smoking establishment it smelled nasty. Will never stay at this establishment again.Verifierad gästrecension

It was low priced and we were concerned about the homeless person in the lobby. The person at the service desk allowed us to check in early. That was great!!! Beds were super small but we were tired. We won the horse race and enjoyed the visit.Verifierad gästrecension

"dissapointed guest"
the recepcionist was not gentle, they didn´t clean my room completely (the floor was dirty), I needed another towel and they didn´t want to give me one.....etcVerifierad gästrecension från Expedia
My overall stay was average, but at checkin the person attending the front desk was not at all friendly. Did not say "hi" or "how can i help you". Made us feel more like a bother to him than anything else. Wouldn't want to stay at this location again.Verifierad gästrecension
"cleaning of the room"
We arrived around 4 PM to find the room uncleaned. was told by cleaning lady that it was next to do. Five minutes were spent on the room and not once was vacumm removed from her cart. Then she had to tell me she was sick and did not feel like working.Verifierad gästrecension
"Great for family on the go =) close to restaurants"
I've stayed here in the past and found the rooms very comfortable. I found the beds very comfortable and soft, roomy and close to I-10, Cracker Barrel, Chili's, Bank of America and other shopping nearby. The King size bed I had in my room was more comfortable bed in my own home. I had a late check-in and they had a roll-a-way bed for m y son already […] in the room =) Zeke was great in checking me in, and Ivan was a great help early in the morning. I look for forward to future visits to this hotel =) ... El Paso is a half way point between McAllen, TX and Los Angeles, CA, so I plan my stops, meals and resting place.

"Disappointed, I read the reviews before booking"
I had checked reviews before booking this Inn. Am horrably disappointed. Room had a ring of dirt and dust around the edge where vaccum could not reach the wall. The carpet had a couple of rolls that were almost high enough to trip over. There was a plastic piece that socks are attached to when you buy them on the floor behind the front door. There was […] something in the sink besides the cracks and rust...not sure what it was but was grossed out. How anyone could of oked that room to be rented is beyond me. It was at the back of the hotel. when we arrived they gave us a third floor room. But we have a small dog. The clerk said that did not matter... I said if you have a first floor room ready it would be easier for us.That is when we were given the dreadful room. But he never said a word about the condition of the roomafor all I know they all look like that. They offered us another room but after 13hrs on the road we just were tired of moving. MerVerifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"Nice stay"
Clean, quiet, comfortable, very friendly help, however, the basin was all cracked and stained and the bathtub leaked. Otherwise, it was a good room with all the extras (frig, microwave, safe) and very quiet for so close to the highway.Verifierad gästrecension
"comfortable affordable stay"
the king size bed was very comfortable. good price, plain looking, simple for a one night stayVerifierad gästrecension
Some rooms were remodeled and good. Others were not. If they finish remodeling all of the rooms, for the price, it was a good value.Verifierad gästrecension

"good hotel"
nice hotel, good location close to nice restaurants, clean restrooms and a huge bed...Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia
This hotel is getting some wear and tear. I have stayed there on previous occassions and it was qiute nice. The AC is very loud. aND THE ac FOR THE LOBBY WAS OUT OF SERVICE.Verifierad gästrecension
"No wi-fi"
I really needed wi-fi for my work, and it was not working.Verifierad gästrecension
"a room for a few hours sleep"
Don't expect ANY perks at check in they even ask you what level of housekeeping you want. There were only paper thin towels in our king suite, no hair and when husband asked for one he had to sign it out, no iron or ironing board and it didn't even have a "do not disturb". We were visiting a relative in the hospital so thank goodness we weren't there […] much. MerVerifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"Don`t believe what you read on the website!!"
I travel quite a bit and it is always with my children. I picked this hotel because the website said microwaves and refrigerator available on request. However when I got there they did not have any refrigerators or microwaves at all except the one in the lobby. On top of all that the pool was closed and green. Most of the staff was great except for […] the woman who worked the graveyard. I understand she was dealing with a stressful situation but that was no reason to be rude MerVerifierad gästrecension
"Easy acess"
Good room, quiet as I ask for, the internet was very badVerifierad gästrecension
"Great location if passin through El Paso"
It was a fast stop on the way to final destination. Good location next 2 several different shops, gas staions & resturants. I'd stay again when visiting El Paso.Verifierad gästrecension
"You get what you pay for."
I decided to book this hotel simply because it was inexpensive. For the price, I was obviously not expecting a top of the line room, just a place to stay for the night. However, I was still dissapointed in the upkeep of the facility. The bed sheets were stained with dark red spots, so I slept on top of the sheets, not in them. The carpet was dirty and […] the bathroom light did not work. When I informed the front clerk about it he seemed bothered by it instead of helpful. I do not plan on staying here again. Not even for the price. MerVerifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"Good for a quick stay"
It was good , it had no microwave or frig. They had coffee in the lobby but only had powderd hazelnut creamer.great for a night or twoVerifierad gästrecension
I think it needs an provement, renovation.. Elevator is so hot and it's smells , carpet old and dirty... I ask for extra towel told me that they don't have any more... No shampoo nor conditioner, no hair dryer, lotion..but the cleaning lady was very nice .. I would not recommend it to my friend.Verifierad gästrecension
"Value yet nice"
Very nice. Bed comfortable. Reasonable price for a family.Verifierad gästrecension
"to whom it may concerned"
The room where me and my family stayed at was a very clean room, so was the restroom, shower and tub. One of the issues we had with the hotel is that everything just looks old the carpet, the sinkds, tub, shower and speacialty the carpets. One of the worst smell ever in the elevator. We stayed in the 3rd floor ther for had to use the elavator every […] time, and that smell in there was just horrible.... MerVerifierad gästrecension
The room itself was acceptable but a strong odor of raw sewage permeated the lobby, elevators and ground floor.Verifierad gästrecension
"Cheap and good"
For the price you cant beat the location. Cracker Barrel and Leo's Mexican Restaurants next door. Cinemark and Walmart in walking distance along with Famous Daves.Verifierad gästrecension
"Bad TV reception"
My stay was okay, but they need to upgrade their televisions.Verifierad gästrecension
"El Paso Red Roof"
Very nice hotel for the price. Clerks were helpful. There was a luggage cart, which was convenient. There was an elevator, even more convenient. Neighborhood was great--a WalMart across the street. Very convenient to the freeway. Would definitely stay again.Verifierad gästrecension
.Verifierad gästrecension
Good price, and the hotel is ok if you need to check in late and check out the next day.Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"Red Roof in El Paso TX,"
The hotel is ok, however the service is HORRIBLE, the front desk clerk ERNESTO (skinny guy with glasses) Is very rude, dont ask him twice or too many questions because he will talk back at you in a very rude way and with an attitude, he raised his voice at me in front of my family and others and that is unacceptable, I think he needs Jesus in his life […] and a diffrent job position, maybe working at a circus so it can bring happines to his life. MerVerifierad gästrecension
"Worn out hotel"
Dirty rooms, cigarette holes in chairs and comforters in a NON-smoking room. No hairdryer or iron in room, although one was available to check out at front desk. Mattress worn out as well as the sheets on the bed. Hotel looks good from outside but worn out rooms on the inside.Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
And that's the memo now reaction joining us from New York Dinesh D'Souza he's the author of the new book Obama's America the -- making of the American dream.
And he joins us now.
All right did Nash job tell me what you think and Joseph Biden -- still.
Provide late night comics -- a lot of fodder but there's serious issues at hand in this country is facing cataclysmic challenges.
Well I think Biden's distinguishing mark is kind of his -- a frantic on devotion to -- -- by the -- -- -- -- in my new -- 2016 and -- He basically accuses me of linking Barack Obama with his alcoholic father and of course Barack Obama's father was an alcoholic.
And he says I'm also saying that Obama shares this father is anti colonial dream and of course Obama wrote the book dreams from my father.
So Biden is and it's customary way on known for around.
Make it a bit of a fool of himself.
While -- Biden it can't be helping Barack Obama as as being considered serious.
-- individual to take over the presidency mean not if one republic -- Had said it one of the things that Biden has said in the past two weeks.
There'd be no and to be.
Media had a line to get him removed from the ticket money might be good for Republicans to have Biden on a ticket but how does a good for the country.
Well it -- really seems hard to believe that four years ago Biden was brought on the ticket as a statesman who would add gravitas but then of course let's remember that four years ago Barack Obama was seen as a healer and unifier.
Well that's that's true and when you when you move on to -- Niall Ferguson's.
Front page cover story Newsweek at its stand out hit the road Barack where you go through all of the failed promises of this administration.
One after the other from.
His his promise about dealing with the financial industry to his promise about jobs and and on one of to the next indicator.
This man has failed but he's a celebrity hangs around Clooney in and -- torrent Sarah Jessica Parker and and apparently the cool factor he thanks is gonna get him over the edge.
Lord here I wanted dissent a little bit from the Neil Ferguson article because I think -- it makes a Cogent case against Obama.
It has a premise that is fundamentally wrong the premise is that Obama is that a -- alert he's an amateur he promised next but he didn't know how to deliver.
And he's falling short of its promises.
The I don't think that's it at all I think that Obama actually has a very different goal for America than we often think.
-- he wants to redistribute money away from America and toward the rest of the world.
He wants to block oil drilling over here but promoted and other countries he wants America to have a smaller footprint in the world.
And specifically in the Middle East so the point is -- bowl -- Obama is often portrayed as getting results opposite to what he intends whereas in my view he intends the results he's getting.
So he's trying to attack the US economy is that I -- well he's trying to add to produce a massive shift of wealth away from the United States and -- the rest of the world now this is not because he hates America all he's a -- or any of that stuff.
It's because he subscribes to an ideology that sees it as good for America.
To have a smaller economy a more modest role in the world.
So you're saying is American families be damn that and so the president sees people really suffering out there they'll Rust -- and and people who are working two jobs or underemployed -- just given up for work out looking for work at all.
That he's not really concerned with that because he wants to remake everything and some new European and -- so if people be -- This is not about -- of this is really about the world and I think when most people look at Obama and they think of the 1% to 99% they think that Obama's talking only in America whereas I think Obama supplying a global standard so let's remember that even.
Middle class Americans even more Americans are rich by world standards and not -- single -- -- isn't particularly concerned if money is redistributed away from them.
-- -- people and -- did you narrow -- by.

The CFG's Caron Bradshaw says its survey of 373 members shows notable differences between large and small charities
Most charities took steps to reduce their labour costs in 2011, according to a survey of finance professionals by the Charity Finance Group.
The CFG survey of 373 members, released yesterday, found that 54 per cent of charities had taken some steps to reduce labour costs. Forty per cent said they had made redundancies.
It also found that 51 per cent of organisations had not made a pay increase for all staff, and those that had done had awarded, on average, a below-inflation 2.6 per cent. Only 55 per cent of organisations said they expected to award across-the-board pay increases in 2012.
Large charities, with incomes over £25m, were significantly more likely to award across-the-board increases, with 63 per cent doing so last year, and 69 per cent planning to do so this year.
The survey found that 12 per cent of staff rated their work-life balance as "excellent", and 50 per cent as "good". This was almost unchanged from the previous year, but down significantly from the first survey in 2010, which found that 44 per cent rated their work-life balance as "excellent" and 32 per cent as "good".
Among smaller charity employees, however, 24 per cent said their work-life balance was excellent.
Caron Bradshaw, chief executive of the CFG, said: "This year we really homed in on the differences between small and large charities because we were seeing notable variations between charity size.
"While larger organisations appear more likely to offer annual salary increases and other tangible financial incentives to staff, smaller charities are more likely to offer a better work-life balance and opportunities for flexible working."

Man dies after live roach-eating contest in Florida
MIAMI (AP) — The winner of a roach-eating contest in South Florida died shortly after downing dozens of the live bugs as well as worms, authorities said Monday.
About 30 contestants ate the insects during Friday night's contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach about 40 miles north of Miami. The grand prize was a python.
Edward Archbold, 32, of West Palm Beach became ill shortly after the contest ended and collapsed in front of the store, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office statement released Monday. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities were waiting for results of an autopsy to determine a cause of death.

To all gays, bisexauls and lesbians!
I'm interested in this thing.
If you've come out to your family ,whats your coming out story?
To make things fair I'll tell mine first.
I was around 16 and I was dating my first girlfriend, and I fully knew what orientation I was, I was talking to one of my friends and one of the things I said to them was "Should I tell them? I know they will still love be but I'm really nervous." and they said to me "If you're fully comfortable with who you are then theres no problem telling them." I agreed so I got up from my computer and went downstairs, and sat myself downstairs on the bottom step thinking what I should say to them, then I got up and approached them in the living room, with a seemingly straight face I told them "Mum, Dad, I'm bisexual." they turned around and my face was burning at this point and they said " Yeah, Lizzie we've know that since birth, and there was no need to be nervous telling us." I felt silly because I got myself so worked up in telling them.

Vote for your favourite East Lancashire cause (From Burnley and Pendle Citizen)
When news happens, text LT and your photos and videos to 80360. Or contact us by email or phone.
Vote for your favourite East Lancashire cause
1:57pm Tuesday 10th September 2013 in News
THE voting is underway as 17 worthy East Lancashire causes compete for a share of £250,000 of lottery cash.
In June, we invited grant applications after revealing that we had teamed up with the Big Lottery Fund to give out the money across the newspaper's readership area Almost 70 organisations applied for grants from the Lancashire Telegraph Community Cash Awards of between £10,000 and £30,000, and a shortlist of 17 has been drawn up.
Over the next two weeks, readers will have the chance to vote for their favourite project, which will be prof-iled each day until the end of next week.
To vote, readers must follow instructions and use the form below. The form will be printed each night until September 21.
After the votes are counted, successful groups selected to receive Lancashire Telegraph Community Cash Awards will be revealed during the week beginning September 30.
- Age UK Lancashire (Number 1) wants £17,452 to establish a dementia-friendly community garden as an exten-sion of its specialist Dementia Day Support Service.
An unused piece of land behind the day centre build-ing will be transformed to provide a therapeutic envir-onment for people with dem-entia, and their carers.
The development will be in collaboration with local sch-ools to encouarage links and better understanding of dementia, while ongoing maint-enance of the garden will provide volunteering opp-ortunities.
The application says: "The therapeutic benefits of nature, and access to nature, have proved to be helpful in supporting people who can get distressed within a building. There is strong evidence to suggest that people with dementia ben-efit from opportunities to walk and that aggression and anxiety is reduced."
- Audley Community Jun-ior School, Blackburn, (Number 2), in conjunction with St Thomas' Junior School and St Matthew's Junior School, has bid for £27,580 which it will use for three ground improvement projects to create at least five different habitats. The facilities will be shared among the three schools, allowing children to experience, study and understand the different types of habitat.
The habitats will be grassland, an orchard, managed food growing spaces, a woodland and a pond. After-school sessions will be delivered by Groundwork Pennine Lancashire to teach the children how to best use the facilities, and the schools will start clubs to use the new facilities and involve parents, and the wider community, in projects where possible.
Over the next two weeks, readers will have the chance to vote for their favourite project out of the 17 which will be profiled.

49ers sell 75 percent of tickets in new stadium
UPDATED 7:38 AM CDT Mar 10, 2013
The San Francisco 49ers have already sold three-quarters of the seats at its new Silicon Valley stadium, thanks in part to the team's Super Bowl run. The 49ers said Friday that fans and corporations have bought $403 million worth of tickets at the Santa Clara stadium that's set to open next year, when the team leaves Candlestick Park in San Francisco. The new $1.2 billion stadium requires fans to buy seats that cost between $2,000 and $80,000, then purchase season tickets that cost $850 to $3,750 each year. The most expensive seats in the 68,500-seat stadium have already sold out.

NO TRANSLATION REQUIRED / KEINE UBERSETZUNG BENOTIGT on View at Emory University in Atlanta, Now thru 4/6
Emory University's Visual Arts Department presents "NO TRANSLATION REQUIRED / KEINE UBERSETZUNG BENOTIGT: A Visual Collaboration Between Liane Birnberg & Katherine Mitchell," today, February 7 - April 6, 2013.
Berlin-based artist Liane Birnberg will present new work in visual conversation with her long-time friend, Atlanta-based artist Katherine Mitchell. Birnberg's drawings will be presented at the Visual Arts Gallery on Emory's main campus, and Katherine Mitchell's works on paper will be presented concurrently at the Catherine Hunt Gallery of Candler Hall at Emory's Oxford College. The opening reception is tonight, February 7 from 7-9 p.m. in the Visual Arts Gallery on the Emory campus, with a talk by Birnberg.
Born in Romania, Birnberg is the daughter of Holocaust survivors, and the harsh realities of their experiences in a Romanian concentration camp inform much of her work. Working in multiple mediums-drawings, paintings, photographs, found objects, texts, music and film-and navigating between realism and abstraction, she explores the roots of memory and identity through the lens of her own heritage. Birnberg's musical background also lends much to her visual art through the abstraction of musical notes and forms.
Mitchell taught drawing and painting for twenty-nine years in the Visual Arts Department of Emory University and retired from teaching in 2009. She has had numerous exhibitions in museums and galleries, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, Atlanta City Gallery East, Factory Kunst Halle, in Krems, Austria, and the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. She has also exhibited at Atlanta's High Museum of Art, the National Museum for Women in the Arts, Washington, D. C., and the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters in New York City.
In recent years Mitchell's work has continued her long-standing interest in architecture and geometry, but she also has explored the inclusion of various texts embedded in layers of paint. In these texts, partially of her own writing, but with quotations from a variety of artists and thinkers, she has explored the sources of creativity, and the making of works of art, the creative process.
The exhibition "NO TRANSLATION REQUIRED / KEINE UBERSETZUNG BENOTIGT: A Visual Collaboration Between Liane Birnberg & Katherine Mitchell" is cosponsored by Oxford Studio Arts, the Department of Film and Media Studies, the Department of German Studies, the Art History Department, and is supported by a grant from Der Regierende Bürgermeister von Berlin. Hours for the Visual Arts Gallery are Monday - Friday, 10-5 p.m., Saturday, 12-4 p.m., and by appointment. Visit http://visualarts.emory.edu/home/ for details.

Vitaly Raskalov Releases Video Of His Thrilling Tower Climb
On May 4th we told you about a 19-year-old adventurer named Vitaly Raskalov who, along with two thrill-seeking friends, climbed a massive bridge and a 1,000 foot tall crane in Russia to snap some incredible pictures of the town below. They did it all without the safety of a harness and over the last three weeks have become cult heros on the web, featured on HuffingtonPost, Daily News, Gawker and several other sites. We will proudly pound our chest and say that The Roosevelts were the first U.S. based website to feature Vitaly's daring exploits. Because of this we want to offer a follow-up video of Vitaly's climb up the tower that puts the danger of his daring feat into perspective.

Trattoria Contadina
Online Reservations
Italian Restaurant hidden gem. In my opinion the best in San Francisco.
What a great experience ... I will be back. Fun, friendly and great food....
Great food great service ; nice neighborhood ambience.
I found this restaurant on trip advisor and it said it was a half mike walk from my hotel. It didn't say it was almost all uphill and somewhat "deserted". The food was worth the climb. Very fresh and delicious. Only complaint is the restaurant is very small so the tables are very close together. I was a single diner but I could tell that the table next to me was very uncomfortable having a conversation because I was so close. I was there early so maybe this is nit an issue as it gets more crowded. Obviously a local favorite.
This restaurant never disappoints. From the moment you walk through the front door you feel as though everyone is really happy to have you. It is like a "joining your family for Sunday dinner". The food always very good and the service flawless. Servings are large so sharing is an option. A San Francisco must...
We finally made it to Trattoria Contadina after a few cancellations. The food was amazing - we had the cheese stuffed roasted pepper for an appetizer - A MUST if you go. Pastas were obviously homemade and the olive oil they served with the bread one was of the best we ever had. We were in a nice little room upstairs, both up and down were very busy even at the early time we went (6:00 on Sat). Easy to talk, what a pleasure! We went on an unseasonably warm day here in SF and it was a bit warm - no air conditioning.
Trattoria Contadina is a fine restaurant when celebrating a birthday. Let them know ahead of time that you are celebrating a birthday and they will bring out a slice of Tiramisu (light and delicious) with a birthday candle. The place is small enough so that everyone sings happy birthday and it was a charming place to dine. The food was exquisite. Made with fresh ingredients, from the Ceasar Salad to the pasta dishes, all was just marvelous and tasy. They have a $20 corking fee which is fair and I found the service impeccable and attentive. People were friendly without hovering and I would highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a nice Italian restaurant in the North Beach area, away from the crowds and tourist spots. A (plus) work.
We were at the end of our stay in SF and wanted some red sauce comfort food. The Trattoria Contadina was recommended and met the need easily. Great red sauce Italian, a nice wine list and warm service added up to a great dining experience. The place is not fancy, but the food was divine. If you want good value, Italian comfort food, don't miss it. Down to earth and delightful.
We had a vert good dinner here this week. This is not a North Beach tourist joint. To start, my Sazerac was well done. I asked the waiter which wine by the glass would be good with my entree. He gave me a taste of two different wines. What I then noticed was that the bartender tasted the wine and opened a fresh bottle. I appreciated his attention to detail since we were the first diners of the night because we were going to a show My Veal Salimbocca was really good. The sides of the roasted potato and sauteed garlic complimented the veal. Nice portions too! If you are too full to eat dessert, you still have to share the spumoni pie. Great finish.
Trattoria Contadina was recommended by a friend and perfect. The food and service were outstanding. We ate at an Italian restaurantin the Financial District, which was much more expensive and chic, and if that's what is important then enjoy. If you're looking for outstanding Italian cuisine and a homier, more intimate experience,.with a more reasonable price then I recommend Trattoria Contadina. We will go again the next time we're in San Francisco.
In San Francisco. Outstanding traditional experience in this cozy spot. Puttanesca is perfection. Service as good as it gets. It's just like walking into your family home for Sunday dinner.
Great food, crowded and energetic atmosphere. Love this.. Best Italian in SF
When trying to find good Italian food, most places aren't able to distinguish themselves these days. Trattoria Contadina doesn't have an issue with that. First off, the place is quaint as can be with it's small dining area so make sure you have a reservation for this place, otherwise you could be waiting awhile to dine. Also realize that when you dine here you're going to be up close and personal with other guests with how close everything is placed to one another. As for the food, OMG!! I love spaghetti, but have never been a fan of meatballs. I ordered the Spaghetti and Meatballs after our waiting suggested it was the best dish...and was it ever...i left my plate completely white after inhaling everything. You can't go wrong here!!
This restaurant was a fabulous find. It was a bit off the beaten path of North Beach. The food was wonderful. There were 4 of us for dinner and we were all tasting each others food~ everything was delicious. The antipasti was a fun dish to share and was wonderful. This restaurant is friendly, comfortable and delicious!
This restaurant combines great Italian food with an almost unique relaxed atmosphere of dining without being rushed. Just like in Rome.
I love this little corner nook, so I may be a bit biased, but I always take my out of town friends there for dinner. The wine list is fantastic and the menu is excellent and just the right size; not too large and not too small. Portions are not so tiny that you leave hungry, but not so large that you feel extremely stuffed should you finish everything. If you are looking for "romantic" ambiance, this may not be the place. Tables are somewhat close together and the bar is small. That being said, you will love the food and the wonderful service. Everyone I have taken there has been impressed. You will be also.
Don't miss this great little Italian restaurant in North Beach, right at Mason and Powell streets, next to the cable car tracks. But be sure to book a reservation, as they have limited seating capacity. I had the meatballs and spaghetti - the meatballs were the best I've ever had (even better than my wife's great recipe). My wife had a caesar salad with excellent penne pesto pasta. Great intimate seating with a view by the window. And pricing was very reasonable, especially for San Francisco. Be sure to hop on a cable car after dinner for a fun trip down to Market Street. Would recommend highly to tourists and residents alike. Will be sure to visit again during our next trip to San Francisco.
Fantastic little Italian place where the "locals" eat. Awesome food and awesome service at a very reasonable price. But make a reservation or you will be disappointed: there are "only" about 13 tables in the Restuarant! This is always one of our must stops when in San Francisco.
Loved it. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great dining experience.
Had a terrific dinner. I had very fresh snapper and my husband had the veal saltimbocca and all was great. Fair prices, good service and we'll be back.
Been here twice and always a great meal, and ambiance!
Everything was wonderful from the Cesar Salad to the lamb chops. What a wonderful dining experience. Will definately go back with friends.
We tried a number of places advertised as Italian and all were disappointing. Picked this one based on the menu and the fact it was a neighborhood place. The food wasn't quite like Mama's but it was very good. The food was very good and the atmosphere homey; no glitz. We had a nice, quiet meal and enjoyed ourselves. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will go there again when next in San Fran
This place serves authentic dishes that are prepared very well!! I lived and studied in Florence, Italy and remember eating at local Trattorias around town...........this place is one of those type of places.........away from the tourist avenues and you get the real feel of dining next to the locals
Our group of 6 ordered 6 appetizers and we loved them all, there was not a scrap left. We were so full we ordered 2 of their signature pasta dishes and the beet salad to share and still had leftovers to take home. The food was consistently excellent, the sauces and pasta just right and the melanze was to die for. One of our party was miffed we didn't go to the tapas place and he ended up being the most enthusiastic! The wait staff was gracious and attentive and had no problem splitting up the bill. The noise level got louder as the restaurant filled up but we were still able to have a conversation without shouting, always a plus.
We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Trattoria Contadina. We had to get to the theater and they accommodated our busy schedule. The food was lovely as was the service.
Great neighborhood...just on the outskirts of the busy North Beach area. This gem has been my go to restaurant for years. DELISH!!! Love this place.
Wonderful experience. Classic home cooked Italian food and great wine list.
I have bwen here twice in the span of 5 years and both were amazing. Make a reservation a day or so ahead. We tried multiple things on the menu and you really can't go wrong
We haven't been to San Francisco in 10 years and finding that this restaurant was still in operation was a thrill! Excellent food, lovely waiters! Hopefully we won't wait another 10 years to come back!
From the moment we entered the restaurant, we were treated like regulars even though it was our first time there. The staff was wonderful and the food was excellent. We will return again and would encourage anyone who enjoys fine Italian food to enjoy this restaurant.
Everything as perfect the moment we entered the restaurant. The smells and frangrance of garlic was just what we wanted. Trattoria Contadina was just what we were expecting, a neighborhood 'find' with fantastic food. The only downside - the parking. Need I say more! The ravioli was the best ever. It was stuffed with chicken, dressed with some sun-dried tomatoes and I believe a light mascapone 'sauce'. I couldn't stop till the last bite was gone. Others in the party equally delighted their tastebuds. Our table was filled with lamb chops and polenta, veal parmigiana and a penne pasta. Of course I finished off with hazelnut gelato, my absolute favorite. Wish there were only a short distance away. We WILL return....!!!
This restaurant is definitely a must while in San Francisco! Very small place so be sure to make a reservation.
Every November I travel with friends and students and we ALWAYS put Trattoria Contadina on our list of "must-dos" while in the City. The food is amazing, the little house that the restaurant resides in is charming, service is always wonderful, and the location is perfect, wherever we stay. This year did not disappoint.
We loved the cuisine and service but the front room was incredibly noisy
Great food, great atmosphere. Our waiter forgot our app, that's why the lower rate on service. Food was great, nice authentic and great neighborhood.
Group of 4 on a business dinner outing. Wanted a local flavor spot with great food and service. We found it!! Definite return spot.
I've been coming back to Trattoria Contadina for many years. I used to live near this restaurant years ago and now i visit whenever i'm in San Francisco. This is fresh, traditional italian cuisine that's simply delicious. The chef continues to find new ways to improve on the traditional cuisine. During this trip, I had the rigatoni with eggplant and it was beyond descripton! So fresh, and everything in the dish blended together perfectly. I highly recommend Trattoria Contadina, with it's delicious food, and friendly and welcoming staff. Don't hesitate to go any time you have an opportunity!
The food is fantastic. I have been here twice now, and thoroughly impressed each time. This time I had the Fruiti del Mare, and the seafood was succulent. They have a wonderful selection of wine. And the restaurant has such a nice, intimate vibe. Almost feel like you are at home (but in a good way!)
Love this place: Quiet, intimate dining with great service. Food very fresh and portion sizes perfect. Only criticism would be over-salting the pasta.
Every time we make it to San Francisco, we figure out way to make it here. First rate food in very comfortable neighborhood, comfortable setting. Done so for a dozen or so years and hope it's there for that many or more!
We were on vacation for 7 days over Thanksgiving and looking for a place to celebrate our son's 15th birthday. So many options in North Beach, but we chose Trattoria Contadina based on other reviews and the menu. It was just what we were looking for. Excellent, traditional Italian dishes, good wine and bar choices and attentive service. We were a bit early for our 7:30 reservation and they were able to seat us immediately, despite how busy they were. It is somewhat loud and bustling, which was kind of the atmosphere we were looking for that evening. All of our dishes were great, with the risotto/sausage special the highlight of the evening.
We love this gem every time we are in the area. For the past 25 years! Nothing beats the roasted pepper appetizer. All is great and away from the tourists in Little Italy.
These folks serve up fabulous pasta dishes, and great appetizers also. The dinner portions are large, we shared 2 pastas between 3 people, and were pleasantly full. The service is outstanding as well.
We started with the warm olives, had the chicken ravioli as our entree and finished up with raspberry sorbet. The food, service and local charm made this a wonderful event. Ci torneremo!
I went here for brunch this past Sunday with my sister and we had a WONDERFUL time. The service was friendly and efficient, like you were stepping into your friends house and the food was creative, well thought out and of course DELICIOUS. The zucchini bread was so wen and fresh and came with a sweet dip, I think it was a variation of Apple sauce, that was so unexpectedly great. I ordered the chicken sandwich and my sister had the molto buono(or something like that). Both amazing. Can't wait to go back!
it was nice and i liked their food just didn't realize that it gets a little smokey upstairs. also the seating puts you right next to other ppl the tables aren't spread apart at all. the service is pretty good and usually not hard to get a server at your table.
Great restaurant! Can't wait to go back. The gnocchi was better than what I had in Italy.
We've been coming here for 3-4 years and have never been disappointed in the quality of food and service. Make sure you make reservations as it is very popular. Location is only a couple of blocks off Columbus on a corner of a quiet neighborhood.
Great neighborhood restaurant. Friendly and professional service, very good food, understated decor. Great for families and food is very very good

News Release
UMBC Soccer Earns NSCAA Team Academic Award
BALTIMORE – The UMBC soccer teams were one of 150 schools that had both of their men's and women's program recognized by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America for the 2011-12 College Team Academic Award, as announced by the NSCAA on Thursday.
"It is a great honor to be recognized for this award," women's soccer head coach Leslie Wray said. "I am so proud of the work these young women do on and off the field. It is good to see they are given credit for their hard work."
A total of 723 college soccer teams (221 men and 502 women) posted a team grade point average of 3.0 or higher, to earn the honor. The UMBC women's team posted an overall GPA of 3.21, while the men finished with a 3.07.
"I am just as proud of our team's accomplishments in the classroom as I am of our play on the field," men's soccer head coach Pete Caringi said. "Our guys have worked very hard academically and have gotten the results."

It's going to cost you more for season tickets to see the Aggie Football team play at Kyle Field this fall.
As the university transitions to the SEC, ticket prices are going up $25 per game for students and $50 more for general season ticket holders.
The new price for season tickets now averages $360 dollars a seat.
Texas A&M Senior Associate Athletics Director Jeff Schmahl tells us the move to the SEC is bringing new financial challenges.
"We've only had one season ticket price increase in the last nine years and that was 6.4 percent back in 2008. We continue to have budgetary challenges that we need to meet but there are some increased costs in moving to the SEC Conference," said Schmahl.
There are currently 4,500 on the waiting list for season tickets which athletic officials say is an unprecedented demand.

Sorry to resurrect this but it seemed appropriate.
With all the snow do you think that Avalanche Gulch will still be in climbable shape in August or will it be a talus climb? If it melts out, will crampons and snowshoes still be necessary or could I save weight there?
The reason I ask is I'm going to be working in Utah from March until November with a week off in August. I might have a break in May but I'm not sure.
