(CNN) -- A car bomb exploded Monday in one of the largest public squares in Damascus, Syria, and a number of people are believed to have been killed, Syrian state TV reported. Gruesome video showed mangled bodies at the scene. An opposition group, the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the attack at Sabaa Bahrat Square killed at least eight people and injured dozens of others, citing reports from the group's activists in the area.

A sculpted mahogany body with a fast-playing Wizard III neck and versatile humbucking pickups.
The S421 Electric Guitar represents the cutting edge of Ibanez design and continues to be a marvel of form and function. Its signature body shape—sculpted, lightweight, and mahogany—is stronger and more musically responsive than guitars weighing twice as much. Though no longer called by its original name, the Saber, the S series is still a rock version of that quick, graceful and potentially lethal weapon. Its archtop body not only provides a warmer tone but contributes to picking hand support. The clearance offered low-profile design of the Gibraltar Standard Bridge optimizes strumming/picking style possibilities. The Wizard III Maple neck is fast, flat and thin for speed and player comfort. The INF1 neck pickup is versatile and responsive, with warm classic tone and added output. The INF2 bridge pickup has enhanced mid-range output, with an Alnico-5 magnet for individual string clarity and excellent dynamics.
Case sold separately.

ROCHESTER, Minn. — The primary treatment for wet macular degeneration, a chronic eye condition that causes vision loss, is effective even if patients have macular traction problems, a Mayo Clinic study shows. The findings will be presented today at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology in Chicago.
Due to the aging population, an increasing number of patients are being treated for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), an eye condition in which abnormal blood vessels develop and leak into the eye. When patients develop wet AMD, they receive injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor medication (VEGF). VEGF prompts growth of new blood vessels in the body. In the case of AMD, however, such new growth is unwanted and may cause bleeding in the retina.
It has not been clear whether this treatment would also serve patients experiencing other symptoms, such as vitreomacular interface disease (VMID), in which there is traction or contact between the retina and the vitreous matter in the eye. Mayo researchers retrospectively studied 178 patients, of whom 18 percent had VMID over an average of 2.5 years.
Findings showed that while eyes with some kind of macular traction required more injections, they still showed improvement (best corrected visual acuity) to similar eyes without VMID.
"This finding is significant," says senior author Sophie J. Bakri, M.D., "because it showed that patients with VMID are not necessarily treatment resistant for AMD." She also says it may help physicians not give up on treating such patients, and understand the need for more doses of medication for those with VMID. Researchers say more study is needed, including a prospective clinical trial.
Co-authors include Amy Green-Simms, M.D., Blake Fechtel and Zubin Agarwal, M.P.H., all of Mayo Clinic. The research was funded in part by Research to Prevent Blindness.

The trend toward smaller, more efficient homes is still in full swing, with new home builders offering floor plans that lower square footage while amping up usability. If your home is older, however, or you live in an apartment, your smaller space may just feel ... well, small.
Being short on space doesn't mean you have to be short on style or efficiency. Even older small spaces can get an open, useful feel with the right design and decorating tactics. Here are a few ways you can optimize your small space:
Be size wise
Nothing makes a small room look more cramped than filling it with furnishings that are too big for the space. For example, if your living room is 10 by 12, a 9-foot-long sofa is going to dominate the room and leave little space for anything else. Conversely, placing a smaller bed (such as a twin or single) in a modestly sized bedroom is a classic trick designers and home stagers use to make a bedroom look larger.
When buying furniture for your small space, keep scale in mind. Furnishings should fit the space well, leaving plenty of area for you to move around them. Mohawk Homescapes blogger Cecilia Staniec advises homeowners take room measurements. "You should never shop for furniture without a complete set of measurements," she writes.
Open up floor space
Smart use of wall space can open up floor space, which is often at a premium in small rooms. Some items must occupy floor space, such as sofas, tables and chairs. Others – like lighting, TVs and electronic components – don't.
Wall-mounting TVs, especially flat screens, can be a great way to conserve floor space and create an appealing focal point for a petite room. Low-profile wall mounts, like Sanus' Super Slim Full-motion VMF408, are perfect for small to medium screens of 26 to 47 inches. The mounts keep the screen close to the wall while providing a full range of motion for optimum viewing from multiple seating areas. Similarly, you can wall-mount your computer monitor – even an iPad.
Work with your walls
Your walls can work for you in other ways, too. Even in small rooms, the walls are one of the largest design elements. Choosing a bright or light wall color can help a smaller room feel more open and airy. Adding mirrors is another way to make a room appear larger. You don't need to install a full-length mirror on one wall; a series of smaller mirrors attractively positioned in a cluster can do the job just as well without being overwhelming.
Carefully consider accessories you place on the wall, and don't overdo it. Too much on the walls will make them look cluttered and even smaller. Sometimes, one or two thoughtful graphic elements are all you need to make a design statement.
Let there be light
A lack of lighting can make a small room look positively cramped. Whenever possible, enhance the size and appeal of your rooms with plenty of light. Natural light is optimum and adding a skylight or solar tube is a great way to bring sunshine into your home.
If that kind of renovation isn't in your budget, however, maximize natural light by keeping window treatments light and open. Avoid dark colors around windows, as darker hues absorb more natural light. Recessed lighting overhead can help a room feel loftier, and wall sconces provide illumination without occupying valuable floor space.
When it comes to home decorating, bigger isn't always better and smaller doesn't have to mean cramped. With the right blend of furnishings, colors and accessories, it's possible to live large in any small space.

I'm looking at next weekend if the weather permits -- and I might get both Rigid 10" LED bars done, up front, too. At least that's the plan.

The next amp I wire will be done allot different (in a different truck).

The best part was the light came with a whole light harness set (lights included). My left tail light had a turn signal out, so I just used one of the lights from the new harness (didn't need it, just the casing broke). Two fer one!

She was absolutely right. Movements don't start with specifics or 10-point plans. They start with people meeting up and talking. Ideas are generated, plans are made and one day, action is taken. It's a slow process. This is where Reboot is now. Perhaps from this generation -- prompted by leaders like Levin -- an articulate minority will emerge and point the Jewish community in a fresh direction, just as Heschel and Herzl did many years ago.

We've been revisiting a series on entrepreneurship this week on Lake Effect. WUWM Environmental Reporter Susan Bence wasn't setting out to do a story on entrepreneurship when she left for the north woods in April – she was planning to do a story on the debate over a proposed iron ore mine. But while she was in Ashland, she found herself introduced to the creator of a company that fills a unique niche in – of all things - the feminine hygiene realm.

Does anybody know what is going on with Redrock's microRemote? There seems to be plenty of reviews, boasts, blah blah (since 2010 btw) on the web but nowhere to order the thing.
Does anybody know what is going on with Redrock's microRemote? There seems to be plenty of reviews, boasts, blah blah (since 2010 btw) on the web but nowhere to order the thing.
Yeah, still in the R&D phase still I believe.
I asked them at NAB this year...and they gave the same answer that they did for the past three years.... "it will be out this summer".... Rrrrriiight.........
I actually got an email from Redrock with a 'non transferrable' link to confirm intrest in remaining on their 'Early Notification List' on April 15th. In the body, it mentioned that I needed to repond by April 13th to remain on their list and that they are 'close to production'.
Terribly sorry old chaps, I seem to have misplaced my time machine. Also, I was interested when I signed up for early access/beta 4.5 years ago. I admit my interest has dimmed somewhat in the intervening years. I hooked up with another WFF a number of years ago, in fact. Sorry Redrock, it's not me, it's you.
Microremote allegedly ships June; one motor package with the non-iPhone remote and no range finder is allegedly under $2500... not sure how much the iPhone version adds in terms of cost. I love the idea of seeing DoF and actual range to subject overlaid - I hope it works as well in practice as it sounds like it would in theory.
They need to watch that price, at some point it becomes better to just get a used Bartech.
What i find most interesting is the little thumb-roll thing. I find normal FFs unergonomic on hand held rigs.
Anybody know of any similar products?
I'm definitely watching this closely, I like the handheld idea a lot
Hi Guys,
I know it's been a long time coming, but the big deal this year was that we were showing our own digital motors. Previously we were compatible with a wide range of motors, but they would all nearly double the price of the system. The prices you saw above ($1,400 for the thumbwheel version and $2,400 for wireless) is for a complete digital system which means that it includes our own digital motor.
So Shawn, I wouldn't see it as "coming close to the price of a used bartech" because the fact is the microRemote will be on par with a wide range of digital systems in all aspects. We don't want people to have to "settle" for a less expensive system, the microRemote will be able to play with the big boys just as much as any other system, but at a more end user price range.

How about interfacing with Kessler's Fusion? That ability would interest me.

After a busy week in Mexico City, we looked for a place to recharge our batteries and relax. The location is a bit off the main Nuevo Vallarta area but... it was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, no hassle, and comfortable. Breakfast was made whenever we woke up and went downstairs. Very hearty and homey. Fresh coffee, fresh juices, bread, fruit, and a main entree. The house is beautiful. The rooms are big. The ac is cold. The pools clean. Only downfall is it's a bit secluded. Not too many dining options nearby but who cares? Virgilio and the comfortable house was all we needed da Tim da Atlanta, ga il 15/11/2013

Summary and Book Reviews
Wonderstruck: Summary and book reviews of Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick
Like The Invention of Hugo Cabret, this will be an instantly successful book for children and adults...It is built on the bones of several quite sturdy ideas—about deaf culture, about museums and collections, about missing parents and lonely, fiercely intelligent children—but it moves by emotion. Sometimes Selznick's art is dazzling in its textured complexity, as when he portrays the historically accurate interior of the AMNH, and other times, it is the simplicity of a single image that startles the eye and the heart. The end of the book is a pure triumph. (Reviewed by Amy Reading). Full Review (911 words). Media Reviews

Pygmy Hog Conservation: Hunting for genetic diversity in the long grass of Assam
To save the Pygmy Hog species first you have to catch a Pygmy Hog, or two.

"I'm still optimistic that humans will decide to deal with greenhouse gases in a realistic fashion," he said.
To illustrate why that's important, he pointed me to an online video that shows the death of a young polar bear cub. It's linked here but, as a Mother Jones writer put it, "Be forewarned: this is graphic and ghastly." I wouldn't watch it unless you absolutely feel the need to do so. What's more important is Derocher's reaction. For him, the video echoed his experiences in the Arctic, surveying bears that are struggling because of sea ice melt.
"When you watch that," he said, "you have to, I think, be pretty hardhearted to think that maybe humans aren't treading a little too heavily on this planet."

Rondele Plain Cheese Spread is a great alternative to cream cheese when you need to store your spread at room temperature. It only needs to be refrigerated once opened. I buy the single servings and store them in the pantry to use with the bagels I have in the freezer. The flavor and consistency is very much like cream cheese. I would have just assumed that is was. My daughter thinks it is. Yum.
Logitech Harmony 700 Rechargeable Remote ★★★★☆
This review was originally posted October 18, 2009.
Logitech Harmony 700 Rechargeable Remote with Color Screen
I have heard so many wonderful things about the Harmony line of remotes. I could not wait to try the Logitech Harmony 700.
In the box came a remote with a USB cord and a charger with partially charged rechargeable batteries.
The remote is sleek and stylish. It is weighted towards the bottom, but my hand wants to be in the middle to control the buttons up top, so there were balance issues, but no big deal.
I have lots of rechargeable NiMh batteries, so I put a pair of fully charged hybrid batteries in. That way, I wouldn't need to plug in my remote very soon. It immediately flashed instructions on the little tiny screen about how to set it up, including when to connect to a computer and what website to visit.
Setup was easy but much more time consuming than I expected from all the buzz. I am not that familiar with the Harmony remotes, but I thought ease of setup was its allure. So when the instructions said to allot 45 minutes for setting up, I was surprised. And remember, you'll need a computer with an internet connection. For the technologically challenged, this could be a problem.
Most of my time was spent pulling the AV units out of the cabinets and looking for a model number. I also had to run up and downstairs in order to answer setup questions about how the remote operations are set up on my television. Once, when I did not know the answer to a question of how my old remote is set up, the Harmony "learned" from my old remote by having me place my old remote behind it.
The availability of channel icons is pretty limited. I could not find most of the ones I wanted and had to either go without or find them on the internet, download them, unzip them and install them.
Once I was done, I got to experience the beauty of the remote.
Once it's set up, it's very easy to use. My 8 year old figured it out right away. My husband, who's not technologically savvy, figured it out.
The favorites show up on screen as soon as I press the "watch TV" button. If you have a very challenged family member, put their favorites right there and s/he can just press the button next to his/her favorite channel.
I press a button and all the proper equipment turns on or off. Want to watch TV? The satellite receiver and TV turn on but the DVD player and VCR stays off. Want to watch a movie on DVD? Press the button and the DVD player, TV and satellite receiver (I have that set to always be on but it can be set to automatically be off) are on but the VCR stays off.
The biggest disadvantage with the operation I see is a mild delay when I press the commands. Press the "watch TV" button and I have to wait a second. Press the Disney channel and I have to wait a second. It's not a long wait, but it is noticeable.
+ a true all in one remote
+ Harmony remote can "learn" from other remotes
+ easy to use and learn
+ one touch on/off operation — simultaneously turn everything you need on and off at once (things you don't need on will stay off)
+ set up instructions flash on screen when batteries installed — includes which website to visit
+ sleeps when put down, wakes up when picked up
+ favorite channels show on remote screen when watching TV for quick access
+ comes with batteries
- allow 45 minutes to set up
- included icon selection is limited — must download your own
- must plug in to recharge — no cradle, and no memory if batteries removed
- need an internet connection for setup
- weighted towards the bottom but my hands wants to be near the top — causes balance issues
- slight delay between pressing a command button and seeing the action desired
Overall a terrific device, definitely a step above the all-in-one remotes requiring code entry. Love the customizability of the favorites channels and the ability to add icons. Wish I didn't have to go hunting the internet for those icons and would like a cradle for my next Harmony. I do plan on upgrading one day.
UPDATE: I did find a way to fix the delay issue in the online manual (that is another disadvantage, no printed manual), but I haven't gotten around to fixing it, yet. If it's a problem to fix, I will update.
UPDATE: Before writing the initial review, I did take out the batteries to see what would happen with the remote. When I put them back in, the remote would not turn the TV or any other device on, so I had to go back to the computer to get my settings back — hence the comment about no memory.
I have since been told there is a memory, so I went back to try again. This time, I did get the settings back, but it was not perfect. Some things changed, little things, like the remote assistant is on when I turn on the TV. I had it set to off.
Thank you, Logitech, for assisting me. At least I know there is a memory.

Snikiddy All Natural Baked Corn Puffs, Mac n' Cheese ★★★★★
Snikiddy All Natural Baked Corn Puffs, Mac n' Cheese
I thought my kids would like Snikiddy All Natural Baked Corn Puffs, but I wasn't sure how much I'd like it. Turns out, it's pretty good. If you like Cheetos Puffs, this is a milder version. My whole family enjoyed it and Cheetos is the first thing that came to everyone's mind. I'm surprised the makers of Cheetos didn't come up with this. One bag didn't last very long in this house. It's good, almost addictive.

Chef's Star® Fruit Infused Pitcher ★★★★★
Chef's Star® Fruit Infused Pitcher with Cooling Rod
I just recently gave up my diet caffeine-free sodas for water. I didn't want juice for all the Calories, but I longed for some flavor. Enter Chef's Star® Fruit Infused Pitcher
. I am so happy to have this. I put in some cut up raspberries and out came lightly flavored like just like the waters we can buy in the stores. Yum.
When done, I just take it apart and put it in the dishwasher. I love kitchen gadgets that are dishwasher safe.
The one thing that doesn't work that well is the tube that holds ice. It does make the water cold, but it's not as cold as if the ice was actually in the water. If we have water in the pitcher, there's no reason not to put ice directly in the water. If it's some other drink, putting ice in the tube will help prevent the drink from getting watered down. It is removable if you don't want the tube and infuser. If you want to use the infuser, the tube is attached to it. You don't have much choice.
I don't mind the tube at all, if it means I get the infuser. It's great to always have flavored water around whenever I want. It's inexpensive, healthy, and tastes great.
This product was provided for review by Dakota Trading.
ADDENDUM: I would like to add that when the tube is used, ice or water needs to be in it to weigh it down or else the tube will float the lid off.
uNu Enerpak Flexi Portable USB Battery Pack with Integrated Charging Cable ★★★★★
The uNu Enerpak Flexi Battery Pack gets an "A" for style. One small power bank with a charging cord stored onboard. It can be removed and used either for charging your small electronic devices or charging the power bank itself. The cord has a micro USB connector. If that's what your device uses, it's possible you may not need to bring any extra cords along on your travels.
The Flexi can charge any device that charges with a USB port. I have an iPhone 4S which uses a 30-pin connector. That's not included, but I use a charging cable I already own. It plugs right into the power bank and I'm able to get two full charges from the Flexi.
The Flexi also charges my Kindle HD 8.9″ tablet. Of course, it doesn't have the capacity to give it a full charge, but it can give it a good partial charge to keep me going. The micro USB head on the Flexi cable has a bit of plastic around the connector, so it doesn't fit the Kindle port well with its case on.
This is a good power bank for cell phone users — small, convenient, and a splash of style,
+ small, lightweight, stylish
+ includes micro USB charging cord stored onboard
+ can give an iPhone two full charges
+ matte finish (no fingerprints!)
- no extra connectors included
- micro USB head needs extra clearance on device to seat securely
- 1 amp output (slow charge)

Avery Mailing Seals, Clear ★★★★☆
Avery Mailing Seals, Clear, Permanent (05248)
Avery Mailing Seals are perforated. They are also matte with a rough finish so they can be printed or written on. I was expecting smooth and glossy. Templates are provided on the Avery site.
There is a tear away feature for each column of seals, so they can quickly be removed from the sheet and applied. If you are doing large volume mailing, it is a convenience.
Personally, I just wish they were glossy. Otherwise, they work fine. The perforation is an added bonus.
Life Cereal Cinnamon ★★★★★
Life Cereal is one of my family's favorite cereals. Even my son likes it, and that's saying a lot. It's light and crunchy, full of cinnamon flavor with just a touch of sweetness.
Low in fat and calories, sugar is not too bad in my book (that's always debatable depending on who you ask, but I don't think 8 grams per serving is horrible). It even contains fiber and protein and 9 vitamins and minerals.
We love this cereal for breakfast, or any time we need a quick on the go snack in a bag.
per 3/4 cup serving:
Calories – 120
total fat – 1.5 grams
protein – 3 grams
fiber – 2 grams
sugars – 8 grams
total carbohydrate – 25 grams
Hefty Slider Value Pack Gallon Storage Bags ★★★★☆
Hefty Slider Value Pack Gallon Storage Bags
Hefty Slider Bags are nice bags. I prefer them to the regular sealing bags because I don't need to feel around to make sure they are sealed.
The seals do fail under less pressure than the regular bags, so if you're cramming the bags full of whatever, you may want to look elsewhere. Under normal usage conditions, the seal seems to hold together fine.
The bags have a little weight and thickness to them, enough to not feel cheap. I feel confident they won't tear easily. We always have some around just in we need some for storing food or knickknacks.
Car Trash Bag By Carscaper ★★★★☆
The Car Trash Bag hangs on the headrest of a car either behind the seat or in front of it. It can be used for more than just trash. I store my small electronic devices in it for easy reach.
There are a lot of little features to this bag. The bag has a Velcro closure. The sides have mesh pockets for small supplies. The bottom has a hook attached to an elastic strap. Hook that to the bottom of the car's seat to hold the bottom of the bag closer to the seatback. Inside the bag are straps that snap around the handles of the plastic bags to hold them up – keeps the inside of the trash bag clean.
The Velcro strap that goes around the headrest is quite strong, but some of the other features need improvement. For instance, the strap with a hook. I'm worried the hook may eventually rub a hole at the bottom of the seat where it attaches. This hook and strap are a permanent fixture on the bag, so if we don't want it, it's there anyway. I guess we can cut it off, but maybe it would have been better if it there was a way to remove it or store it.
The straps inside the bag that snap around the handles of a bag is a great idea. Unfortunately, most grocery bags are so big that these straps don't do much to hold the bag up. If you have small bags with handles, this could work.
The Velcro that holds the bag closed is good unless the bag is on the full side. For the most part, it does its job.
I find the bag more useful in front of an empty passenger seat. Behind the passenger seat, it gets in the way of the person sitting behind it. When my son sits behind it, he always takes it down.
Overall, the trash bag is well constructed. I would say it works best in cars where there's a seat that is always empty, like the front of my front passenger seat. It holds everything I need.

UPDATE: The vendor pointed out to me that the straps on the inside of the trash bag do not need to go through the handles of the shopping bag to hold it up. Place the plastic between the snap buttons and close them. I went and tried it and he's right. Lightbulb moment! Those straps are useful because of the snap buttons on the end of them, not the straps themselves. I'm not sure if a lot of people would get this right off the bat. A visual aid or instruction sheet would help point out these features, but I'm happy to know this nifty little fact.
Dream Bath Christmas Shoes Soap Dispenser/Lotion Dispenser ★★★★★
Dream Bath Christmas Shoes Soap Dispenser/Lotion Dispenser
I was so pleasantly surprised when I first saw the Dream Bath Christmas Shoes Soap Dispenser/Lotion Dispenser. I honestly expected dollar store quality, but that is not what I got. The detail and craftsmanship is very nice, not at all cheap. I especially noticed the colors. They are precisely done, not thrown on. There is no spilling over from one color to the other. The pump feels like plastic but looks more like metal, and the ceramic has weight to it.
The dispenser works as well as expected. I use it for liquid hand soap and I haven't had any issues with it pumping just what I need.
It's an attractive dispenser. I plan on using this every Christmas until it falls apart, which doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon.

Considering a PV System?
The reasons for buying a PV system are different for each person. Often concern for the environment is high on the list of reasons, and providing your own energy through a renewable source is a great way to reduce your impact on the environment by reducing air pollution and preserving fossil-fuel resources. A solar electric system adds value to your home and is a good way to improve your property while also producing clean, quiet energy that will last for many years. There is a sense of independence that many people seek which can be found in producing your own electricity. This reduces the amount of electricity that must be purchased from the utility and prevents you from being at the mercy of future price increases. Rather than buying energy you make it yourself! If you are building a home in an area that is out of reach of an established utility service, an off-grid system may be less expensive than having a utility line extended to your home making it a better choice practically, economically and environmentally. Solar energy is considered to be the energy choice for the future and, while technology will surely improve, it will not do so at such a rate that makes buying now unwise. What you are really doing is getting in on something beneficial now that other people may not understand the value of until later, meaning you start saving money today!

Big 4 Restaurant - The Huntington Hotel
Online Reservations
Refined, traditional, and sophisticated. A welcome holdover from a more elegant era. There should be a category that embodies these; but I guess there are too few restaurants of this sort left to warrant such a category.
Traditional; no surprises; excellent service; wines expensive but 1/2 price if you ask on Sunday.
The clubby, intimate dining room is classic old style San Francisco dining at its best! The menu and food is straight-forward with generous portions and great presentation. Ron, our waiter, could not have been more hospitable and knowledgable about the history of San Francisco in general and about the "Big 4" in particular. He brought the room alive by regaling us with facts, interpretation and explanation. Although we are 'locals', we learned so much from him throughout the meal and it made the experience just that much more memorable. We hope and trust that the new ownership of the hotel will preserve this terrific dining room for future guest experiences like ours. Truly memorable and enjoyable!
The food and service were wonderful. The wine list is undergoing major changes - and not for the best. There were only 3 chardonnays available. The options for pinot noirs was similarly lacking. The new owners have added a lot of Rieslings and Gewurztraminers which do not go with the menu items.
A traditional SF style restaurant celebrating a time in history never again to be repeated. A definite must for people interested in SF and California History, combined with excellent food and service!!
Love the ambiance, the location, the staff, the food and that they carry our wine-Rosati Cabernet! Cheers
The food was great, the service even better. I didn't care for the valerian chocolate cake. Very elegant and you must go into the banquet room to see the panorama of early San Francisco.
This is our favorite restaurant in the city! The classic decor takes you back in time. Service and food are impeccable. It is truly a treat to dine here.
The food was amazing, atmosphere was romantic and what can I say about our server Ron H, he was incredibly knowledgeable. I would definitely come here again. Bill for 3 was $236.56 starter, main course and dessert, no one had wine. What a great place to bring a date.
A classic dining experience for the old souls of San Francisco. A gem not to be missed.
Amazing staff in a beautiful setting exemplifies 40s san fran dining experience!
With the bustle of the city and the sometimes manical ambiance if all the new hipster gastro-pubs and foodie dens, it's great to head to the Big 4 for a cocktail at their bar or an exquisite dinner in the adjacent restaurant. The old, smoking lounge appearance, with heavily-wooded ornate detail, creates an ambiance in which the eye can wonder and conversation need not rise above whispers. The pianist in the open-seating bar sets the tone for the evening, upon arrival. The bar food and drinks are delectable and the food in the restaurant have some very unique flavor combinations, expertly prepared with great presentation. The staff is professional and warm, adding to the charm. What a jem.
Pampered from valet to Maitre D' to Waiter. Superb cuisine. Pure San Francisco classic vibe. Nuanced flavors and perfect execution of tantalizing specials. If you're staying at the hotel, it's a no-brainer. If you're at the Fairmont, walk half a block and you're there. The real deal.
Beautifully appointed with wood and green leather booths. Big 4 pays homage to the sentiment of Old SF, and is very well kept and looks right in place for its location (top of California Street with the Fairmont and the Mark across the street). Dinner was fantastic, and of course, pricey. Seafood risotto with saffron--Excellent! Lamb--fantastic. Decided to take a walk over to the Mark to see what the Top of the Mark looks like these days. Wow, remodeled to accommodate more people/ tourists and instead of the intimate atmosphere of days gone by, looks like and sounds like a cafeteria now. See ya. Tried theTonga room, no rez-no sit down. Back to Big 4. Scored great seats in the Piano Bar, ordered dessert and we were in heaven.
Dean and his gang were on top as usual. My SF favorite restaurant and I'm addicted to the Chicken Pot Pie.
We enjoyed a great meal and had great service to say the least. We look forward to go back soon.
My husband and were excited to try Big 4 after reading reviews. We were staying at another Nob Hill hotel and they were the ones who originally recommended it to us. We arrived too late for our 10pm reservation . However, the staff there could not have been classier in their effort to keep us happy. The maitre d' offered to get us a reservation somewhere else or to accommodate us in their bar area where a limited late night menu was available. We agreed to stay. The staff was gracious and accommodating and the food was very tasty. They had a pianist playing jazz and American standards and the bartender was friendly and kept a lively bar scene going. We enjoyed the food and the ambiance and were glad that we stayed!
This restaurant is as if you stepped into the home of Sherlock Holmes. It's dark inside. If you don't mind this eating in an English library, then this atmosphere is for you. It's an older local repeat crowd or referrals for the large hotels in the neighborhood. It's all about the old steamship lines that were built in SF history days. The food is pricey but good. We selected it because it is in walking distance to Masonic Temple where we had show tickets.
We always stay at the Marine's Memorial Hotel just down the street and had never been to this restaurant. I chose it because I love the California history. The food, ambience and friendliness of the wait staff was wonderful! I had the rack of lamb and my husband had the seafood risotto. Both delicious!!! Next time I am ordering the sole... it looked unbelievable!!!!
I took my husband here for his birthday. We have been to this restaurant many times and never get tired of it. It is elegant and the food is fantastic, especially during Wild Game Week. This is a very romantic restaurant.
Outstanding service and food. Boar and scallops were wonderful. We have been here many times over the years and it is always excellent.
This is old San Francisco at it's very best. I love this place. The food is very good. If you are looking for high gourmet, this is not your place. The food is traditional and very enjoyable. The atmosphere is absolutely wonderful. The staff is warm and attentive but not overly so. This is always my pick for a special evening for intimate conversation and a relaxed and enjoyable first class experience.
Had the Seafood Risotto and my wife had the Rack of Lamb, both excellent choices as the meal was outstanding. Both first courses and deserts were equally as well. Service was great, as I believe our waiter's name was Phil. Checked in often on us and the remaining staff was readily available to fill water glasses and remove empty plates. Great spot if your going to close by concerts or to the theatre.
We eat out a lot in the city and one of our favorites is the Big 4. We love the atmosphere, the understated elegance, the staff and of course the food. The bar menu is fabulous and the main dining room is always a wonderful place for a special occasion or just a romantic night on the town. They are also one of the few places with a live pianist... which is sadly a dying trend here in the city. Very few places have live music, but you can still hear a real piano at The Big 4.
We were warmly greeted and ushered to a beautiful table, surrounded by rich leather and wood. The food was superb as was the service. My wife chose the scallops and I had the rack of lamb, both of which were as good as it gets. The prawn appetizer and onion soup were also outstanding. There is a beautiful full bar and nice choice of wines by the glass. There is also a bar menu offering more casual dining. This is civilized fine dining at its best!
It was a delightful experience dining at Big 4. The beautiful dining room has a wonderful old San Francisco feeling, but the menu is modern and offers excellent choices. The food was delicious-no disappointsments. How nice ( and unusual) to be able to hear the people across the table without shouting!! The addition of a piano player was the frosting on a great evening.
Excellent service, quiet ambiance, healthy and indulgent food options; a lovely for a long lingering meal. It was perfect for us.
It was a lovely evening in a first class San francisco landmark. We were not disappointed in any way... the scallops were perfect, the wild boar quite nice and plentiful... the lobster bisque and organic salad superb. everything was wonderful...
Impressive food and classy atmosphere like a traditional club. Warm and decadent environment.
My husband and I had completely different takes on our dinners. Husband loved the wild boar, the best meal he ever had. My seafood risotto was mediocre, chewy seafood and underdone rice.
We had a large group and they were very accommodating! The service was just as good as when it is just the two of us. It was a wonderful new experience for our guests and I know they will return again.
I've been going to this restaurant for the past 8-10 years and I have not been disappointed yet! Great affordable wines. Great food! Don't forget to ask for dishes that are not even mentioned on the menu. (Not specials,but regulars like Venison Chilli).Great service! I love the cozy bar and the live piano music. Romantic.
My husband and I had received a gift certificate to use at the spa or restaurant. Since it was his 55th birthday - we went for an early dinner so we could walk around the area a bit. It was wonderful! Parking was a breeze with the lot so close and there was a photography show in the part across the street. The restaurant, bar and hotel staff were very welcoming and friendly. We started with drinks in the bar by the fireplace and then moved to dinner. The food was amazing - rich and plentiful! We arrived early for a 5:30pm dinner on a Saturday- which was really great- the crowds started arriving about an hour later......I loved the setting and enjoyed the history related to the hotel!
Great old school atmosphere. Creative presentation, wonderful food.
We chose Big 4 mainly because it was within walking distance of The Masonic. But, with that said we were very pleased with service and the food. For such a formal feeling restaurant there was still a very friendly feeling. Even thought my husband was one of only a few men that didn't wear a sports jacket or suit he was not made to feel uncomfortable. We will definitely return!
outstanding and classy restaurant with rich San Francisco history, excellent food and presentation, comfortable and pleasant atmosphere, beautiful piano music in the background; a great place to entertain out-of-town guests; valet parking; cordial and polite service
romantic restaurant with piano music in the background and clubby ambiance; the wait staff was unobtrusive but available, personable, trained ....the food was magical. Absolutely delicious fresh seafood and side dishes;plating was beautiful as well as colorful and yummy. I will surely come back and take a special somebody.
It was a dinner before a concert at the Masonic and was everyting we expected. Dark-ish, club atmosphere that was very quiet until the dining room filled before the concert. Limited specials menu but outstang creations of soups, salads and wild game. Service was perfect, waiter just chatty enough and bus boys (men) were always there to fill water glass or clear table. Service between courses was slow and relaxed -- allow 2hrs (at least) for dinner. Pricy, but not over the top. We'll be back.
We had a wonderful meal at this long time San Francisco restaurant. The highlight, in addition to food, is the atmosphere. Quiet, elegant, without being "stuffy". Great service. I would go back anytime. The bar is also lovely, with piano player. And you can order quite a few thing on the bar menu if you aren't looking for a big meal. Just wonderful.
Wonderful food and service in an gracious dining room.
The Big Four is my favorite restaurant. The dining experience is wonderful due to the lovely atmosphere, kind and professional waitstaff, and delicious food. I am aware of the upcoming plans to renovate. I hope that the new owners will keep the Big Four style as close to its present form as possible. It is old world charm at its best.
Excellent atmosphere unlike most hotel dining feel as if you are in a stand alone restaurant. Wonderful comfort food (chef excels at wild game as well - look out for her wild game dinners, usually in Jan / Feb ?). I'll be back
This is the place to return again and again for reliable and constant cuisine and excellent service.Large portions and great wines by the glass-the place was packed early on a midweek night with many repeat customers. Always a unique San Francisco tradition that has a huge following of locals and travelers alike. Nice desserts also.
With a sense of grace and a kindly spirit, The Big 4 is the type of place that makes you feel better about life. Lots of neighbors around Nob Hill are regulars here, and you can feel the connection between the staff, some of whom have been at Big 4 for years and the patrons. That same friendliness if offered to newcomers as well. The food is well made and the attention to detail is meticulous; drinks are strong and cold, and the wine list has good offerings in all price ranges.
We decided to dine at a nice restaurant rather than cook a big dinner for just two people. We had seen a review on "Check, Please" and we knew our dining experience would be fulfilling. We were not disappointed. I started with a warm crab and avocado salad - great flavors! Dawn had the ahi tartare - cleaned the plate! My entrée was naturally the roasted turkey with all the fixings. Very good! The turkey was moist, both white and dark, stuffing, gravy, yams, pearl onions, butternut squash, green beans, and mashed potatoes (which were cold). I could not eat everything on my plate, even though I tried! Getting stuffed on Turkey Day is, for me, part of the tradition. No room for dessert! Costs were not out of line, considering all that we had.
We had Thanksgiving dinner here. The food was beautiful and tasted great. Our table was cozy and Intimate, but we did not feel isolated. Last year our table was too small for our party of three and we felt cramped. This year we had a larger table so we felt more comfortable. We had a great time.
Big 4 provides a wonderful setting with excellent staff (from the bartender to host to servers and assistants) and a dining room that you can sit back and enjoy the well prepared food in a quaint environment.
Our waiter was Ron. a long-time employee of the restuaurant who earlier that day (Nov 29) had just converted the decor from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Despite his long day, he exhibited no weariness when we arrived for our 8:00pm reservation. He gave us a detailed explanation of the menu which only whetted our appetite more. During the course of the evening, he shared his tremendous wealth of knowledge of the restaurant, Huntington Hotel, the surrounding Nob Hill Restaurnant and many of San Francisco's citizens and visitors he has met during his entire career. The menu was varied...I had the Seafood Rissoto which was disappointingly filling...disappointing in the fact that I did not allow room for dessert. Expensive, but WELL WORTH IT!
This neighborhood gem is a must for all who love San Francisco. The food, the ambiance and especially the service are wonderful. We shall miss The Big Four while the hotel is under construction. We think it's a bad idea to close it for even one night!
This is one of my favorite restaurants for many reasons. Precious historical site, wonderful sincerely friendly staff excellent menu (both in dining room and bar), and the iconic piano player sets the sophisticated tone. There is nothing else like it in San Francisco.

Ireland soccer star Anthony Stokes has been accused of shaming Glasgow Celtic football club after publicly supporting a Real IRA event.
Celtic have taken action against Stokes after he attended a memorial service for dissident Republican Alan Ryan.
Currently out injured, Stokes was caught at camera at a Dublin event in honour of the murdered Real IRA leader.
Club boss Neil Lennon has told Stokes that he damaged the club's reputation by attending the memorial for family friend Ryan.
Stokes also posted a Twitter message in support of Ryan on the day of his funeral which read: "Thinking of you Alan..."
The Irish Independent reports that the international striker also threatened to sue a journalist who wrote about his links to Ryan.
The Real IRA leader was shot dead in Dublin last September. Ryan was a regular at the Players' Lounge Bar in Fairview which is owned by the footballer's father.
Stokes also received a tweet from a user who wrote that he hoped 'the UVF put a bullet in your head'.
When asked on Tuesday if Celtic had warned Stokes about his behaviour, Lennon said: "Yes we have. We spoke to him internally.
"I am not going to moralise to him, but you cannot damage the reputation of the club. He is aware of that now. The matter has been dealt with internally."
How come we never hear about crazy uk fans threatening clubs like liverpool for having a New England Bostonian owner...the Yanks have made the UK look like idiots several times since 1775 including the war of 1812, or when they prevented the confederates from trading with the brits or when the hired the fighting Irish for the civil war or when they leased bases in the UK and put the UK into severe debt for 65 years and so on. Oh because its not British policy because they would get there ass kicked.
anglo-norman, you an Erica Jong fan? I would never have guessed it.
pilib04- Another man under the bed
Finally something that can be agreed upon. Clearly Stokes can offer sympathy to family and friends of Ryan. Just don't go overboard with the twitter and such. I believe that Lennon received a bullet in the post. Such threats by the pro-brit deathsquads continue to this day. Heard that Pete Robinson and Naomi Long both received threats the other day over the flag nonsense. The thing about the Celtics are their diverse fan base that blends provos with dissidents along with blue shirts and ff. If you like rebel songs you are going to love a Celtic home match. Of course Seano is correct, Stokes can attend any funeral/memorial service he chooses. He just needs to remember that the blue shirts are watching him in collusion with the mob.
seanomelb- The man under the bed...
Boston. What had Hitler and Ryan got in common ?
true to the history of a people so terrorized by glorious Empire whose dealing in humans boggles the mind. Genocidal Famine masters must not be reminded of their slaving/convict shipping ways Cromwell and Saxon Hitler is in their genes. Let free speech reign. Play ball .
true to the history of a people so terrorized by glorious Empire whose dealing in humans boggles the mind. Genocidal Famine masters must not be reminded of their onical
I do believe he would go to Hitlers Funeral if he were his friend also. With friends like this who needs enemies.
Stokes has every right to attend the funeral of any individual he likes a plague on the naysayers.
The problem is that Celtic has a hisotry of receiving anti-Catholic violence. Lennon himself received a "nail bomb". This does not need to be "blown up" into a major distraction. It is called common sense. Ryan was a friend. However, be low key about your respect. Do not confligrate a renewed civil war in Scotland.
Fair play to Stokes in not denying his friend.
