Benoit Restaurant and Bar
Online Reservations
The 3 appetizer menu was great. Also loved the lobster with quinoa. Of course, chocolate soufle was outstanding.
Wonderful classic French food. Excellent prix pixe menu. Very good wine list by the glass or carafe. Somehow dessert failed to be delivered after a 20 minute wait, and we had to leave to attend a dance performance.
Had a great night here with my parents friends who were visiting from out of town. The food was outstanding (the visitors were french and the coq au vin held it's own against their high standards). It's on the pricery side of things, but felt that it was worth it. The staff was great and the ambience perfect. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great place in the area.
Everything at Benoit is calculated to replicate the ambiance of a Parisian bistrot. The menu is very traditionally "bistrot;" service is attentive; and, except perhaps that the lighting would be a bit brighter in Paris, it was just like being there.
Went for my birthday. The staff was on top of everything,when we arrived we were seated with a smile!!!
The mussels were very plentiful and well prepared. The whole chicken for 2 was outstanding. The chicken is roasted and then brought to the table whole for the diner to see and approve and then taken away and separated into 8 pieces and returned to the table. Delicious. The frites were very good, hot, and plentiful. Onion soup was reported wonderful by one of us.
Any establishment owned by noted chef Alain Ducasse has to be good and this restaurant certainly is. They offer a full menu of fish, chicken veal and vegetable specialties all delicately seasoned and prepared to perfection in the French tradition. Any dish that we have ordered here has been superb from the appetizer to the desert. The restaurant offers an extensive wine list to please the most discriminating connoisseur and also has a bar up front . The decor is all French and the service is excellent. Its the closest thing to Paris in NY that you will find.
Great cheese soufflé appetizer and a good wait staff. A little noisy but not unbearable
Excellent food with a lovely ambiance. Great for a night out with friends.
From the French speaking servers to the French comfort food there really is not much difference between the NYC location and the Paris one. The food and service was great. In additon if your complaint has always been small portions when it comes to French food these portions have been Americanized. You won't leave hungry. Bon appetit
One of our favorites in NY I would have given the service 5 stars but we did need to wait a little too long for our check. However once we received it the waitress was prompt in returning the credit card. the food is amazing. My husband had their signiture fish dinner Luppe de mere, I had a cauliflower soup that was elegant along with a beet salad. The sharing apitizers are fun and delicious . We had leeks, celery root salad and octopus. Each of these apitizers are small so you will not fill up on them prior to your entreee
Food was very good........chicken excellent.............dessert disappointing we went to order the same as we had last time asked if it was salted carmel - the waiter said yes IT WASN'T ! it was vanilla with pink icing??? Tasteless! I would have ordered the chocolate souffle had they not had that flavor the coffee came very late - the time before I had the cheese souffle - EXCELLENT!!!
Dining at Benoit looks and feels like we're in Paris, except everyone is really nice. We eat there regularly and each time we marvel at how good the food is, the wine, the cheerful and charming wait staff, the warm ambience. It's perfect for an early pre-theatre dinner, and even better if you come at 7:30 for a leisurely meal. They have the best roasted chicken we have ever had and their steaks are always cooked perfectly. The fish is delicious, too. Lunch or dinner, no difference in the quality or the experience.
Benoit is my go-to for pre-Carnegie Hall dinners. Their cassoulet is justifiably famous. Delicious food, friendly and efficient service, charming room located in the former La Cote Basque. Highly recommended.
Hats off to Mr. Ducasse for recreating the Parisian look and feel of the original. The lunch prix-fixe was excellent on all counts. Loved the skate and the leeks. The room is attractive, the service attentive, and the noise level is good. Merci beaucoup, Monsieur.
Excellent service with high quality food choices. Pre- theater can be hectic but Benoit handled it in style. Need to book earlier next time.
We found Benoit's in NY about 4 years ago when we were actually living in Paris and taking weekend breaks in NY. We just loved the food, the quality, presentation and flavors. We have since moved to the US and still make a point of going to Benoit's whenever we get to the city. We have never had a bad meal or bad service - could not recommend this wonderful place enough.
A very reliable, traditional French restaurant. Very busy even with the early pre-show crowd. Would recommend to anyone for lunch or dinner.
Benoit was a wonderful experience in every way! The food is absolutely perfect---cooked perfectly with excellent presentation. The service was flawless---attentive, courteous, and delightful to talk to. The maître D was helpful and checked on us several times during the meal, and the sommelier made excellent wine suggestions. The wine list was to die for---what a selection of mostly French gems! There were super rare wines that were available by the ounce through the Coravin wine-by-the-glass system, and we ordered two very special tastings that were superb. I will definitely return to this wonderful restaurant!
Excellent French bistro food and service. Definitely a special place in NYC
Had lunch here this week and I haven't been here in awhile. The food never disappoints and we really enjoyed our lunch. Our waiter was very sweet but the service was not as great as I would have expected. The soup of the day turned out to be something completely different and my ice tea showed up when I was finished with my lunch. I would definitely go back because the food is so good.
Very good French bistro with a nice ambience. They also have a reasonable price-fixed menu.
We stumbled upon this place while waking the streets of NY on a recent visit. My husband has the Caramel Apple French Toast which was absolutely delicious. I ha the Hanger Steak with fries. The steak was cooked perfectly and was juicy and tender, but needed some seasoning. We ate all the fries as they were hot and salty. We didn't have dessert, but they had quite a few and they all looked delicious. Next time we will definitely try some. Bloody Mary was spicy, as my hubby asked for it that way, and my Bellini was also tasty, great choice of champagne.
Hard to beat the chicken for two followed by profiteroles, Al's for two.
Excellent choice for a meal before a performance at City Center. Pre-theater menu in addition to very good menu selections. Service was terrific and we did not feel rushed since we did need to make a 7:00 curtain. We will definitely return.
Appetizers are very diverse and yummy. If you love meat this is the place to go. The salmon on the menu was also incredible. Don't forget to order French fries and leave you diet at home. Definitely a power dinner.
This restaurant was recommended by a magazine and it was great. We went there on a trip to New York pre-theatre and had a really nice meal. Service was attentive but not over the top. Food was delicious. We thoroughly recommend it.
Benoit is one of the best French restaurants in New York. Delicious bistro menu. Friendly and efficient service. Perfect for dinner before the theater.
Very good.... excellent onion soup and escargot.... those cheese puffs were to die for
From the outstanding meal to the impeccable service, Benoit blew us away. What was particularly impressive is how the staff works as a team. The service was spot on, not a single detail missed by anyone who passed by the table. It was the perfect level of attentiveness without being overbearing or pretentious. Everything was perfectly timed, perfectly plated, perfectly prepared. The spacing between the seated parties allowed space for quiet conversation. When you step inside, you'd never know Manhattan is out the front door. Truly a gem!
Perhaps because it was a Monday night the dining room wasn't as busy as it otherwise would be, but that was just fine because the quiet atmosphere lent itself to a great evening, making it easy to have a conversation over a good meal.
Food here was excellent, especially appetizers (foix gras, charcuterie) with a wonderful carpaccio main course. Fish for business partner likewise excellent. Service excellent, except at the end of the meal, when staff seemed to evaporate, and getting the check from the harried captain was a bit delayed. Would recommend and will return.
We went specifically for the Tarte Tatin and it was wonderful! Everything else was properly French and delicious as well.
"Alain Ducasse's bistro evokes the charm and pleasure of the original Benoit in Paris". This quote convinced me to book a table for a pre theatre dinner with my wife. It's hard to find a good French restaurant in midtown that won't break the bank! Benoit was a pleasant surprise. Very true to its original Paris bistro which we have enjoyed each time we go to Paris: good food, good wine, good dessert, good service. We liked sampling the hors d'oeuvres for the table. The stake tartar was hand chopped and prepared simply & beautifully. The chocolate soufflé was light & rich and a great way to finish a very pleasant dinner experience, delicious!
It was the perfect place to be at Thanksgiving, what a great meal we had. Delicious food, attentive service. Felt like coming home. We will be back!
Great Thanksgiving dinner at Benoit. The prix fixe meal offered plenty of good food; the wine was more than adequate (We had a nice Pouilly-Fumé); and the service top-notch. We enjoyed the lobster bisque for our starter. Then the Vermont turkey and the pasta. Both good choices offering many different flavors. Dessert? Great pecan and pumpkin pie. I also enjoyed the varied guests the restaurant was hosting. Their ages ranged from babies (quiet) through children and teens (well-dressed and well-behaved) to those into retirement. The ethnic variety of the guests the restaurant attracted was also pleasant. All of this against the lovely background of restaurant. Love the ceiling.
We had Thanksgiving here. Now twice in a row. We love the food. We love the service. Very welcoming atmosphere. Awesome every time.
A real gem. Enjoyed it very much, indeed. A lovely addition to our portfolio of favorites around the world, including Le Benoit Paris. Thanks to Le Benoit team. We will be back!
My go to restaurant for pre-theater, whether you want classic French food (quenelles, cassoulet) or steak frites, fish or great salads. Save room for terrfic desserts. Wonderful wine list, by the glass, the carafe or the bottle. Excellent service.
I had out of town friends who wanted to catch up. Brunch we very good and they never rushed us out. I'll certainly go back.
While in NY we went to Benoit for dinner before the theater. Service was immpecable, attentive without being overbearing and efficient. The staff anticipated any needs that arose and our meals were wonderful. Very enjoyable experience. The restaurant filled quickly and we regrreted having to leave right after dinner to get to the theater.
Chose Benoit for its menu and proximity to Carnegie Hall for an early-evening family dinner. French onion soup an event in itself, the scallops and cod sublime, a very welcome surprise in the Michigan Riesling, great service and wheelchair-friendly. Loved it!
We went with friends, partially to remember a great dinner at Benoit in Paris that we had several years ago. Future memories will be of Benoit, NYC. The food was lovely: venison, tournadoes Rossini, the best calves liver ever!!! The twice baked cheese soufflé with truffles was fabulous. On the slightly negative side, all agreed that the pate and the beef tartare was a bit bland (we ate it all anyway). The service was wonderful and the buzz in the room was very happy--perfect for the holiday season in NYC! We will be back often.
Alain Ducasse has created a pleasant environment in which to showcase his fabulous food. Just be prepared to relax and wait to be served...service was good, but very slow. Our waiter seemed preoccupied, or else had too many tables to serve.
Enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Each item ordered was very good. Service not so great. Waited several minutes to have our drink order taken. Once dinner was served the breakdown of service really occurred. Waiter never refilled our water glasses and that was a problem since we had already consumed our cocktails and that was our drink of choice to end the dinner. Had to finally flag him to then finalize bill then he seemed putout that we did not order coffee and dessert. Might have if we weren't tired of waiting. Will give it another try because the food is worth going for again.
We went to Benoit for pre-theatre dinner. Everything from appetizers onward was just wonderful. We could have spent the entire evening at Benoit. We got the charcutterie platter which was scrumptious, moule frite - the mussels were practically fist sized - yes, exaggerating but they were great. We ran out of time and were sadly unable to have dessert. Will try Benoit again for next theatre dinner.
I have to admit, we weren't expecting much when we went - just hoping for passable food on a busy December Saturday near Rockerfeller Center that wasn't going to break the bank. We had FANTASTIC food, and given how ridiculously over-priced some of the chi-chi restaurants can be in NYC, it was very well priced (note - it was not "cheap" but it was definitely excellent value for the money). The service was fast, friendly and informative. The place was hopping busy with a mixture of locals (looks like a place that generations of family frequent) and a few tourists. We had a few small snacks, and the most exquisite braised pork cheeks ever. And the steak tartar was excellent! Great value wine by the glass list as well.
Second time we've been to Benoit and enjoyed the ambience and food both times. Not cheap. but more affordable than a lot of high-end NY restaurants. Service was prompt and very friendly.
We had reservations at another restaurant on this particular evening. When we arrived on time for our reservation at said restaurant, we still were waiting after 40 minutes. A friend of ours had recommended Benoit, so I looked on Open Table and was able to secure a reservation right away. We were welcomed with wonderful food, a terrific wine list, and best of all, no wait. The service was excellent. Alain Ducasse's restaurants are known for being a bit pricey, and Benoit is no exception. However, this is New York City, and the food and service more than made up for the bill.
The waitstaff was knowledgeable and attentive, and everyone seemed to be authentically French. We started with the escargot which was buttery and delicious. The Croque Madame was amazing. Had we had some room left we would've tried the desert bar, but instead just shared a small but delicious opera cake.

Maemo Update to Allow N900 to Dual Boot with MeeGo.
Not the full experience, but we'll take what we can get.
The MeeGo blog has confirmed that the upcoming update for the Nokia N900 (PR 1.3), will allow a dual-boot option between MaeMo and MeeGo. Considering Intel's recent announcement that the smartphone market won't be getting an official MeeGo device until 2011, users eager to try the OS out on a phone are going to have to take what they can get.
An interesting note for developers, the dual-boot feature allows for testing Qt apps in both operating systems. App development for both MeeGo and Maemo are based on Nokia's Qt development APIs, allowing apps to be written on a PC and then transfered to both Maemo and MeeGo.
Nokia told the MeeGo blog that the N900 is used as a development hardware platform and that there is no plan to implement the dual-boot option in commercial software releases.

Take it from Minnesota native Jill Vegas, author of Speed Decorating: You can get a whole new look for a room (or even your entire home) with a few simple changes. Three of her lessons in quick decorating are pictured here.
Make instant furniture. Stack hardback books on the floor or on a low stool or dining chair. Top the pile with a lamp, vase or bowl to create a quick side table or nightstand. Place it where it won't get bumped, such as close to a wall.
Switch out art. Perk up walls by putting new artwork in frames you already own. "You can change your room so quickly with art," Jill says. "Go on an adventure and find some local artists that you like." For low-cost art, use the old standbys: pages from photography books or arty wall calendars. Even pro designers do it.
Refresh seats. A vibrant textile quickly transforms a worn sofa or chair. No sewing required! Tuck fabric between the chair and cushion, Jill says, and bring in coordinating pillows.

Warrington Wolves have named Brookson as their main shirt sponsor for the 2013 season.
Employees from throughout the local specialist accountancy firm celebrated this new partnership by posing for a team photograph in the new shirts at The Halliwell Jones Stadium earlier this week.
Brookson provides services to contractors, freelancers and self-employed professionals across the UK. It has agreed the partnership to continue to grow its brand after a successful year in which it was named among the UK's top accountancy firms.
Carolyn Nevinson, founder of Brookson, said: "We're delighted to be supporting the Challenge Cup holders. It's the perfect partnership after a year in which we received national recognition from our industry and launched our own Super League service, Brookson Connect.
"We see the partnership as two winning organisations aiming high together and we hope that the new shirts bring every success for the season ahead."
Andy Gatcliffe, Wolves' chief executive, said of the partnership: "Brookson are a perfect match for Warrington Wolves. We're both local, passionate and focused on the future. I look forward to working closely with the Brookson team throughout the upcoming season."
Carolyn added: "This partnership is undoubtedly good for Warrington but it is far from a North West agreement. By sponsoring the Wolves we are working with another market leading business and I think this will add to Brookson's strong national profile following a heritage which has seen us support more than 50,000 contractors over the past 17 years.
"I have had a long term involvement with the Warrington Wolves CEO, players and backroom staff, through the local business community and they always struck me as being passionate and forward thinking as a club. That resonates with me as Brookson's ethos is about caring for our colleagues and customers and working hard to do our best for both. That's why we decided to support the Wolves this season as we believe this shared ambition can really benefit both organisations."

Friendly staff, clean rooms and great value. Worth spending that little extra on the sea view, which will provide you with either a balcony or "bay"... window (allowing access to micro balcony). The view of sea (and crashing waves when the tide comes in) is wonderful. About a 15/20 minute walk along the seafront to the old walled city and plenty of restaurants nearby. Right next to tabac, boulangerie and a mini supermarket and "sandwicherie" very close by. Free wifi and reasonably priced bar. Can't comment on the breakfast as we developed a little habit of buying fresh pastries next door and coffees from the cafe 2 blocks left (although it looked good!). All in all, a great choice. 来自 London 的 Neil 于 2013-09-01 发表点评

Rated 4 out of 5 by surfriderfan Best location
Best location for hotel, right on the beach and middle of all the great shopping. The view from the hotel pool side & pool bar is stunning. Most of all, super friendly staff from front desk to pool staff. We would not consider going to any other hotel in Waikiki.

Rated 4 out of 5 by hnmr No SPG Recognition, but overall had a good stay
No SPG recognition. I might as well have been standing in the regular line at check in. There was only 1 FDA helping the SPG line and 2-3 FDA for the regular line. The SPG guest in front of me was being helped, so you'd assume when one of the other FDA was free of helping one of the regular guest, they'd call on the next SPG guest waiting in line. That was not the case. It happened to me at check in and at check out. Also, there were no other special treatments that I got during my stay like I had at other hotels.
The hotel is nice and upscale. Nice look, relaxing feel. Room was alright, except that we could smell cigarette smoke coming from next door.
Overall, not bad. Could've been better if there were more SPG customer service.

Great hotel and excellent location
Stayed with friends for thanksgiving and had a great time. Staff doing a great job. I will be back soon. Perfect for relaxation as well as for adventures .

Rated 5 out of 5 by pennbee Great stay!
Pros - staff is top notch from top to bottom. Rooms are well appointed and clean. Realize you are paying for the ambiance and location (YOU ARE RIGHT ON THE BEACH) rather than a fancy / big room. I think this hotel has the best public spaces (lobby, beach bar, etc.) and best location (near the beach and top shopping).
Cons - the pool is a bit small and outdated. Hard to get a poolside seat once hotel is full.
The staff is the best from the valet to the general staff. Roxanne H. is a standout did a great job to make our stay awesome.

Rated 4 out of 5 by TPH1 Fix the wifi
We have stayed at the hotel 3 times in the last 20 months. We love the hotel, its location and facilities.
At the present time i cannot recommend the hotel to guests who may be needing wifi for business purposes whilst staying at the hotel. Despite numerous requests we were never given a proper explanation for why the service was not reliable. The fact that you are charged for it in your daily resort charge only makes it more frustrating. This may seem trivial for such an otherwise great hotel but there is nothing more frustrating taking longer to deal with business issues when I would rather be sitting on the beach.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SPG1 Great stay!
Despite a number of non-positive comments and the somewhat average rating (3.8 / 5) on this website, I have nothing but good things to say about the hotel, all staff and platinum recognition. Our room was immaculate and the housekeeping excellent - as soon as we left each morning our room was quickly made up and refreshed whenever we called. All requests were quickly accommodated and the platinum continental breakfast was better than that of many other SPG properties. From lunchtime to late evening there was live entertainment in one or more venues of the hotel making for a very relaxing stay.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rafa Great hotel, restaurant customer service not as great
This hotel has all characteristics of a lovely hotel you would choose as your main option when considering Oahu Island in Hawaii. It has great location, rooms are pretty and the view is just amazing. What I liked most about this hotel is how it has a more classic look from outside without losing its modern look from inside the rooms. There were two aspects that could improve the overall stay - 1-) Hotel does not have a nice pool similar to the another hotel nearby from the SPG family - It could have an inifinity pool or something like that 2-) The hotel's restaurant customer service is not as trained, especially considering such a premium hotel like the Moana Surfrider. Waiters were sometimes aloof to guests and service was inconsistent (sometimes they would say good morning, sometimes they would ask what type of tea one would like etc.) Overall, a good experience, almost great, but, good nonetheless.

THANK YOU MOANA :) Your staff was FABULOUS! You folks took really good care of my family when we were checking in. Our room at the time wasn't quite ready yet, but the Guest Service Agent knew my 2- year old was tired and wanted to go straight to the room. (I forgot his name) was really quick in taking care of us and finding a room ready to get us on our way to rest. Our room was GORGEOUS with a breath taking Ocean View and newly renovated. Mahalo Nui for EXCELLENT SERVICE and stay :) Will come again soon..

There's a reasonable explanation as to why head coach Alain Vigneault threw down the goaltending gauntlet before Tuesday's game. Not only did he manage to rip his most recent starter, Roberto Luongo, he managed to put everything of the shoulders of his latest No. 1, Cory Schneider. He clearly knows what most have seen from the Canucks during the past month. The Canucks have one period in them every night. It sure wasn't the first on Tuesday. After eight days without playing, which he spent re-working his game with goalie coach Rollie Melanson, Cory Schneider started out as slick as he's been this year. He needed to be. The floundering Canucks, who came into the game having won five of their past 16 games, had what was maybe their worst start of the season. They were outshot 15-3 by St. Louis. They were out-chanced 8-1. They looked out-classed, and they should have been embarrassed. They played like it after the first intermission, thought. That's the good news. The Canucks poured in three second period goals, then had to hold on as they backed off to win 3-2. They faded yet again in the third period. The Canucks were carried by Schneider but sparked by Jannik Hansen's tenacity. His breakout season has been lost in the sludge of a goalie controversy, the power play disaster and the ongoing listless play which has led to calls for Alain Vigneault's head.
Canucks' Schneider looks slick in 3-2 win over Blues

Congratulations to 2011 Ph.D. alumna and Smart Growth Center affiliate Rebecca Lewis for receiving the Barclay Gibbs Jones Award for Best Dissertation in Planning from the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning! Rebecca was presented the award--which recognizes her for writing this year best dissertation in planning in the nation--yesterday at their conference in Cincinnati.See more on the smart growth website.
Dissertation on Smart Growth in Maryland Recognized as Best in the Nation
Maryland alumna and smart growth center affiliate Rebecca Lewis (Master of Public Policy '08, Ph.D. Urban and Regional Planning and Design '11) is this year's recipient of the Barclay Gibbs Jones Award for Best Dissertation in Planning from the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning (ACSP). Her 2011 dissertation, which examined the effectiveness of smart growth instruments in Maryland, was selected among a bevy of doctoral thesis entries nation-wide. Award Committee Chair William Goldsmith recognized Lewis this week at the ACSP conference in Cincinnati, OH.
I am humbled and honored to receive the Barclay Gibbs Jones dissertation award for the Best Dissertation in Planning," said Lewis. "The data and collaborative research environment offered by the National Center for Smart Growth, financial support from the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and particularly, the direction and support from my advisor, Gerrit Knaap, enabled me to achieve this great honor."
The Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning promotes planning education, research, service and outreach in the United States and worldwide through institutional collaboration and community outreach. The Barclay Gibbs Jones Award recognizes theses that address pertinent issues faced by government and planning agencies and that also provide guidance on decision-making. This year's award committee consisted of distinguished professionals in a variety of planning facets, including city, regional and federal planners.
Lewis' dissertation, entitled "Do Smart Growth Instruments in Maryland Make a Difference?" examined the effectiveness of three smart growth instruments used by the state of Maryland to manage growth and allocation of resources for appropriate development, preservation and revitalization. In addition to presenting her findings, Lewis suggests ways Maryland can better integrate state programs with local planning statutes to improve instrument implementation and performance. Two papers from Lewis' dissertation have been published in the premiere planning journal, The Journal of the American Planning Association and a third is forthcoming in Regional Science, Practice and Policy. In addition, Lewis was named a C. Lowell Harriss Dissertation Fellow by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy in 2010.

The problem was that under no load, the servo would overshoot the desired angle by 10 degrees.
Sharp IR Range finders take 5ms or more to refresh depending on the model.
I can get decent scans with a delay of roughly 8-10ms. Below 8 and I got plateaus.

Skippin' Stones starts just right of Quartz Sports on a nice face below a large-ish overhang. The whole route is easier than it looks. Follow 5 bolts up the face (5.9) to a good shake under the 45 degree roof. Get started under the roof and twist through the crux at bolt 7. Use some monstrous jugs to finish the overhang (.10) and hit the anchor. This route features a high concentration of steel (more bolts than I usually place, especially through the roof...), so it feels super safe, but still quite fun. It should be a good warm-up for the harder routes on The Crystal Tower and will clean up nicely with traffic.
9 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor, 65'.
I enjoyed this line and it is a nice addition to the wall, but I think 5.11- is a bit of a sandbag. The route is pumpy and the holds above are a bit blind. As well there is a crux pinch that is pretty tough for small hands. I think on-sighting this would be pretty unlikely for a 5.11a climber. I can generally flash 5.11- for a warm up and I was punted from this climb on my first try.
Awesome route, cool position. Thanks!
Hey, we're in CCC, remember? Land of "Charmin-soft" grades, close bolts, etc. This rig is mad-burly for CCC 11a. Gawdamm excellent, brilliant line, however!! Awesome position, strangely "big" air for a 1-pitch sport route. Thanks for establishing this absolute gem! You guys really know what you're doing, and we appreciate it.
This route rocks. Quality moves and good stone the whole way. 11a sound good? ..
Very cool moves and sustained climbing. This sandbag at 5.11- may go at 5.11c or hard 5.11b. However, you won't get hurt trying regardless of the grade. It's super well bolted in the crux roof. Also, there are two a more new routes around to the right that look like they were put in by the same group. What's up with these??
You WILL get hurt if you fall off the roof in the right (wrong) place. I managed to bash my right knee on the lip and burn the back of my left knee on the rope in the same fall.
Pretty mellow until the roof. Shoot off the left hand pinch to a solid rail, match and bump up left. I didn't see the potential for an injurious fall. I saw the second set of anchors only after the fact. they may make the finish a bit less awkward. By the way someone got into serious trouble using the Tyrolean this weekend. Always clip both ropes or you will dangle in the water.
Dipping into the creek on the tyro is how this route got its name. I stopped the route short of the upper anchors because you need to use some fragile pillars to get there.
This route was a lot of fun. I didn't get it clean though. I had to hang repeatedly through the crux but got to the top on my own power. I found it harder then overflow on the River Wall (11b) which I onsighted. Maybe it's only 11b just more sustained? Overflow must be a one move wonder. I would say it's similar to Hot Dog on the Dog House, but I made it up Hot Dog a little cleaner only resting 2 times on that one. I'm not exactly qualified to say (plus I've been mostly aid climbing lately) but 11c seems about right to me (at least as far as the onsight attempt was concerned, now that I know the holds and sequences who knows, guess I will just have to go back and see).
Probably one of the best 11s in the canynon. Great fun and well bolted!
This is now my favorite 11 in the canyon, replacing curvaceous. Though there are still many I have to tick off. Very high quality route with solid movement over the roof. Super enjoyable. Make sure to look around when hanging off the HUGE jug up top and enjoy the exposure. VERY well-bolted.
A very good route. I struggled with the route's crux and finally sent it clean after the end of the second day. 5.9 climbing except the obvious, boulder-like crux on the roof. Now, it works as a good second warm-up.
Great route! Really good moves and good stone, and the crux is a burly little section for only being 5.11b/c. Do it! Perfect warmup for the harder stuff on Primo Wall as well....


text: Paris has a long history of excellence in delectable treats. From the pâtisserie that line the charming streets, to the crepe stands at every corner, and the smell of freshly baked confections wafting through the air—Paris is a sweet city. The king of Parisian sweet treats is the macaron, two rounded cookies filled with jam or paste. Originally intended as a light and airy cookie, the macaron evolved in the 1830s in Paris into the modern day sandwich version. When made correctly this French delicacy cannot be beat.

Federal Food Safety and Security System:
Fundamental Restructuring Is Needed to Address Fragmentation and Overlap
GAO-04-588T, Mar 30, 2004
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
The safety of the U.S. food supply is governed by a highly complex system of more than 30 laws administered by 12 agencies. In light of the recent focus on government reorganization, it is time to ask whether the current system can effectively and efficiently respond to today's challenges. At the request of the Subcommittee on Civil Service and Agency Organization, we reviewed and summarized our work on the safety and security of the food supply regarding (1) the fragmented legal and organizational structure of the federal food safety system, (2) the consequences of overlapping and inconsistent inspection and enforcement, and (3) options for consolidating food safety functions.
As we have stated in numerous reports and testimonies, the federal food safety system is not the product of strategic design. Rather, it emerged piecemeal, over many decades, typically in response to particular health threats or economic crises. The result is a fragmented legal and organizational structure that gives responsibility for specific food commodities to different agencies and provides them with significantly different authorities and responsibilities. The existing food safety statutes create fragmented jurisdictions between the two principal food safety agencies, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). As a result, there are inconsistencies in the frequency of the agencies' inspections of food facilities and the enforcement authorities available to these agencies. In short, which agency has jurisdiction to regulate various food products, the regulatory authorities they have available to them, and how frequently they inspect food facilities is determined by disparate statutes or by administrative agreement between the two agencies, without strategic design as to how to best protect public health. In many instances, food processing facilities are inspected by both FDA and USDA. Furthermore, federal food safety efforts are based on statutory requirements, not risk. For example, funding for USDA and FDA is not proportionate to the amount of food products each agency regulates, to the level of public consumption of those foods, or to the frequency of foodborne illnesses associated with food products. A federal food safety system with diffused and overlapping lines of authority and responsibility cannot effectively and efficiently accomplish its mission and meet new food safety challenges. These challenges are more pressing today as we face emerging threats such as mad cow disease and the potential for deliberate contamination of our food supply through bioterrorism. Therefore, fundamental changes are needed. First, there is a need to overhaul existing food safety legislation to make it uniform, consistent, and risk based. Second, consolidation of food safety agencies under a single independent agency or a single department is needed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the current federal food safety system. Integrating the overlapping responsibilities for food safety into a single agency or department can create synergy and economies of scale, as well as provide more focused and efficient efforts to protect the nation's food supply.
Status Legend:
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Matters for Congressional Consideration
Matter: To provide more efficient, consistent, and effective federal oversight of the nation's food supply, Congress may wish to consider enacting comprehensive, uniform, and risk-based food safety legislation.
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Several food safety bills have been introduced in Congress that would provide a more efficient, consistent, and effective oversight of the nation's food supply. The Senate-passed version of the omnibus farm bill (H.R. 2419)would establish a Congressional Bipartisan Food Safety Commission to recommend statutory changes to modernize the food safety system and ways to harmonize food safety requirements across agencies. The language provides extensive guidance on commission membership and on the programs to be examined, sets timelines for completion, and provides $3 million annually in funding. owever, as of September 2008, Congress had yet to passes any of these bills. In addition, H.R. 1148/S. 654 also would authorize a new food safety system to be based on a comprehensive analysis of food hazards. They would require the registration and regular inspections of all establishments (except farms, fishing vessels that do not process food, and retail establishments), which would have to follow process controls tied to science and health-based regulations, including performance standards.
Matter: To provide more efficient, consistent, and effective federal oversight of the nation's food supply, Congress may wish to consider establishing a single, independent food safety agency at the Cabinet level.
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Congress is considering several bills that would establish a single, independent food safety agency. H.R. 1148 and S. 654 Safe Food Act of 2007 (DeLauro/Durbin). These bills would establish a new independent Food Safety Administration to administer and enforce all federal food safety laws. The bill would require: (1) a national food safety program based on an analysis of the food hazards; (2) standards for processors of food and food establishments; (3) a certification system for foreign governments or food establishments seeking to import food; (4) a system for tracing food and food producing animals from point of origin to retail sale; (5) maintaining an active surveillance system of food, food products, and epidemiological evidence; (6) a sampling program to monitor contaminants in food; (7) an analysis of hazards in the food supply; (8) a national public education campaign on food safety; and (9) research relating to food safety.
Matter: If the Congress does not opt for an entire reorganization of the food safety system, it may wish to consider modifying existing laws to designate one current agency as the lead agency for all food safety inspection matters.
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: As of September 2008, Congress had not opted for an entire reorganization of the food safety system, but is considering the establishment of a Congressional Bipartisan Food Safety Commission to recommend statutory changes to modernize the food safety system and ways to harmonize food safety requirements across agencies (H.R. 2419). The recommendations of such commission could include designating one current agency as the lead agency for all food safety inspection matters.

Here is my ode to The Great Gatsby. Fashion is experiencing a throwback to the times of art deco, pleats, beading, speak-easies, and the Belle Epoque. Legendary designer Paul Poiret has been referenced and you can see his dropped hemline and flapper hats in a major way in the Proenza Schouler Fall 2007 collection. After all the 70s and 80s we've been seeing on the runway these seem fresh and a step in a new fashion direction - just don't take away my booze!
Looks like this is a trend that's going to be around for a couple seasons so if you fancy it, check out these glamorous Spring Gatsby finds, read more

While you could hop the pond and road-trip around America to see the world's biggest arbitrary objects, the experience would probably lose its charm after the eighth world's biggest yarn-ball. An easier, cheaper and far more exciting option is seeing the world's largest swing and getting to use it to swing in a huge arch over an enormous football stadium. In fact, apart from being the biggest, according to The Guiness Book of World Records, the Moses Mabhida swing is also the world's only stadium swing.
After a few breaths, an attempt to calm your jelly-legs and the signing of an indemnity waiver form, you'll be kitted out in a full-body harness and shown a demonstration of correct swinging technique. While you might scoff at this, the tyre swings of childhood's past have nothing on arcing 220m at roughly the speed of a very fast car. Of course, before you attempt this adrenalin-pumping activity, you'll be introduced to the Jump Master who will ensure you know exactly what you're doing.
Apart from this final check-in, you're instructed by qualified jump crew and protected by well-checked and high-quality equipment. After you've descended the ladder to the jump point, been hooked to the jump-line and nodded your I've got this, you'll count down from three to one and leap – what happens after that is something you have to experience for yourself; a 60m free fall, accelerating to 120kph and swinging across a football stadium.
When it's over, you'll be brought smoothly back to ground-level (though it's alright if you leave your head in the clouds) and, within a few minutes of your return, you can watch a video of yourself defying gravity and tackling the big-kid's version of a swing-set. Of course, this video is available for purchase, so you can relive the experience in the comfort of your own home.

The Levi's collab shoes were the best thing Nike SB has done in a while. Way better than the red Supremes and Pushead 2s, in my opinion.
i have vnds low white with red bottom jordan xi for sale if anyones interested
how do those bodega saucony's fit?? i wear an 11 in nbs, asics, and 11.5 in most nike trainers.
I'd say they fit very similar to an Air Max 1.

Been on the hunt for SJ's for a few weeks now. Didn't realize how hard they are to come by (for a reasonable price that is).
i have been selling off many of my sneakers. at one point i had close to 170 pairs. many of them rare. lost interest in collecting. i pulled some more out of the dungeons..
these are all size 12 us......
the white and blacks have been worn but te other have never ever been worn outside. the ferrari pumas have a small cut on both shoes under the side ferrari emblem. have no idea why.
these sizes are all 11.5 us.......
they have never ever been worn outside.
the boots are steel toe and just dusty but never worn. not sure if 11.5 or 12. does not say.
these are a size nine but i fit in them and i am a 12. but i cannot walk too far.
they are rare but the plastic is cracking off. they have been in the box and in the attic since 1991 or 1992.

poking around on ebay the other day, looking for Leatherbacks and was blown away.
are they really worth ~$800? and are people actually paying that price?
welcome to the layer cake
I can't justify paying retail for a sneaker let alone 8x the retail. I think they're dope and if people are willing to pay $800 then people will try to sell them for that much.
Sneaker resale is crazy. I'm practically giving a lot of my stuff away compared to 'market' or reseller prices.
WFSU | VWFiends | Shake's Estate
wait, what size do you have? 9, 9.5, or 10?
welcome to the layer cake
Leatherbacks are trading for ~$400. Not sure where you're getting the $800 figure from.
i'm getting that figure from the few on ebay that are priced at $799.00.
not sure if they're selling for that price, but that's what's being asked, with refused offers.
welcome to the layer cake
i have a pair of nike woven footscape chukkas rainbow pack for sale VNDS, worn once outside. theyre sz 11.5, they run .5 big so that is why im selling. let me know if youre interested.
Anyone got Jordan III's white/cement or black/cement 9.5 or 10 for sale?
Also if anyone is interested in DS '09 Spacejams size 10, my pair just came in and they are WAY too nice to wear. I was expecting a tiny bit of yellowing, but these are factory fresh. I'd argue that they are the nicest DS pair out there.

The San Luis Obispo Vet Center will hold a dedication of their building on Nov. 3, at 2:00 p.m. at the SLO Vet Center to honor central coast Veterans and families.
"We care," said Mr. Steven Reeves, Pacific Western Regional Manager for the Vet Center Program. "We are here within this community to support each and every combat Veteran, including their families and significant others who walk through the doors of the San Luis Obispo Vet Center. If you are a combat Veteran, allow us an opportunity to meet you, discuss your service, answer your questions, but most importantly, to welcome you home. Whatever your war-era experience, just 'Walk on In.'"
Vet Center services are earned through military service in a combat zone or area of hostility and are provided at no cost to Veterans or their families. They are staffed by small multidisciplinary teams, which may include social workers, psychologists, psychiatric nurses, master's-level counselors and outreach specialists. More than 70 percent of Vet Center employees are Veterans themselves, a majority of who served in combat zones.
SLO County is one of several communities nationwide receiving a VA Vet Center following Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Eric K. Shinseki's announcement on Aug. 14, 2009 that combat Veterans will receive readjustment counseling and other assistance in 28 communities across the country, where the Department of Veterans Affairs will establish additional community-based Vet Centers.
Vet Centers also conduct community outreach offering counseling on employment, family issues and education to combat Veterans and family members. Staff also offers bereavement counseling for families of service members killed on active duty and counseling for Veterans with military sexual trauma.
SLO Vet Center is at 1070 Southwood Drive, San Luis Obispo, CA and is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Veterans and families may also call 805-210-6634 to make an appointment. Staff is also available to offer evening and weekend services on appointment for the convenience of Veterans.

I chatted with oneof the online chat agents the other day about issues with Internet Explorer 9. She told me to delete IE 9 and download Internet Explorer 8. I tried to do that, but received an error message that IE 8 is not compatible with Windows 7. Do you have any other suggestions. i am using Google Chrome right now, but was happier with IE. Why did the service with IE go bad all of a sudden?
Control Panel => Uninstall a Program => View Installed Updates (on left side-bar), uninstall Internet Explorer 9, it will roll back to 8...

Why did the service with IE go bad all of a sudden?
Did this chat person give you a reason for doing this? Were you having some kind of problem in Comcast using IE9? I have a laptop with Windows 7, and IE 9. Everything in Comcast seems to work just fine for me.
Just curious.
comcast techs indicate that they have experienced inherent problems with ie 9. My problem is with video downloads listed on the xfinity home page. It appears that the videos are trying to download, but never gets to that point. Strangely, videos used by ads work just fine. There seems to be a problem between comcast and microsoft in terms of finding out how to resolve this problem. On occasions the videos shows up when clicked on, but the problem keep reoccuring.
Reset your browser, Tools => Internet Options => Advanced => Reset
Uninstall, then Reinstall Microsoft Silverlight, as well as Adobe Flash Player
OK I just tried again with the laptop, Windows 7 and IE 9. I played two or three videos off the Comcast homepage with no problems. So I'd try what bnaughty said first. Also, if you haven't already, clear out the cache including browsing history and cookies, and then restart IE.
07-04-2012 04:21 PM - edited 07-04-2012 04:21 PM
If you truly want to rollback to IE8, I posted instructions in an earlier post... It's done by uninstalling the IE9 update which rolls it back to 8, not just downloading and install 8...
They were all techniques that were offered before and tried. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. The situation always tends to come back which means that the basic problem still exists and needs to be rectified between comcast and microsoft. I noticed that on my modem there are five lights that exist reflecting different functions. Three green, of which one constantly "blinks" and two blue. When the blue one (second from the left as you look at the modem) occasionally turns green, I can't receive the video. That hasn't been dscussed with a technician, but it's apparent that it could indicate the cause of the problem.
07-05-2012 10:21 PM - edited 07-05-2012 10:22 PM
Well you haven't posted your modem model but like other modems, the green or blue color indicates bonded channels are in use... So I'm gonna take an educated guess, and figure that you have a Ubee DDR3513... The blinking light blinks to indicate connection to your router or computer... "Second from the left", assuming you have the modem I think you do, is the DS light... Even though it drops down from blue to green, but stays solid, you should still be able to view videos, but that may be an indicator of OTHER service issues...
Please post SPECIFIC modem info... also are you using Internet Exploder as well?
The modem is a ubee D3.0, I'm using internet explorer 9. Interestingly, the video portion from my xfininity home page has been working properly since this past weekend when downloading appeared to be extra slow and the blue light that was referenced didn't appear. Even the download for easy solve was slow in responding. I'd like to reiterate that this problem has been with me for months with a number of "tickets" being submitted to comcast techs who have looked into the problem(s). I've had responses such as "It's something in-house" to problems with i.e. 9.
07-06-2012 03:23 PM - edited 07-06-2012 03:28 PM
All those tickets are doing is sitting there.... Especially some ticket about 'video on comcast.net not working properly'.... you are losing your blue light for the bonded channels connection, you are having some type of service issue... Check for a splitter in the room.... If you find one, bring both the splitter and he modem to be replaced... If you continue to have issues, get a tech out... Your issue is deeper than ie9 and videos...
After your service issues are resolved, you will still have issues with IE9, read this entire thread, solutions are posted in it...

Hope someone can help me figure this out. Here's what I know:
RAIDiator version: 4.2.19
Performance tab settings: Only enable Disk Write Cache is checked
Network switch model Dell PowerConnect 6248
NIC on your PC: Broadcom NetExtreme 57xx Gigabit
Number of disks and disk models:4 500Gb disks, don't remember the model
The read/write MB/sec numbers from IOMeter or drag & drop test. 8.4MB/s write, 9.3MB/s read (from IoMeter)
Additionally, another NAS on the same switch (different brand) offers performance in the 40MB/s range, and my computer can download from the Internet faster than from the 2100. Soon I will be able to configure the 2100 more aggressively (it isn't on a UPS at the moment, but will be shortly), but I don't think that's going to solve this problem.
The device is installed in a server room, and there are certainly a couple of switches between me and the device, but as noted above my performance through the same switch to another device is much better.
The disks are healthy, there's nothing obvious in the system log.
I will try to get the info on the switch it is connected to if that is required, but for now I'd love some ideas of what I should look at.
[edited 4/23 to include network switch specifications]

I am new to this forum, looking for some advise.
In late Feb and early Mar, we always come down to visit my in-laws in Foley, Al.
I live in Michigan, and am use to fishing lake Michigan, for salmon and trout.
My boat is on the small side, but as long as i watch my days it does fine on big water.
and i have lots of experience and know when to head in.
Anyway i am bring my boat down this year and i would like to fish out on the gulf, Perdido Bay and Mobile Bay. ( i have down riggers and planner boards if needed ? ), i have rods set up for almost any kind of fishing, I also bought a map of the gulf near shore, it goes about 10 miles out and shows depths wreck and reefs, also shows Mobile bay.
If need be ?, I would be vary comfortable running 10 to 15 miles out into the Gulf, if that is what I need to do.
I will be fishing with my father in law, and just want to catch some fish and have fun.
in late Feb and early Mar, what would be the best way to fish and for what ? .
Thanks for any advise you are willing to share.
Last edited by Kevin B; 11-29-12 at 03:55 PM.
This is totally amazing , over 300 people have looked at this thread, But not one person has any advise on how ? or what ? to fish in the Gulf around the 1st of March.
You seem to be really expert and you did not leave any thing up to us so we could advise you.
I will just say that enjoy the fishing and have a good time .
Our forums receive lots of traffic and views, but posters are a bit reluctant to post unless the thread gets going a bit. Let me help!
Late February might be a bit cold for offshore species such as mackerel, cobia to start showing at the nearshore reefs and structure in the northern Gulf. If you can wait until March, they might have moved up the Gulf Coast into the area. An early Spring would help! But I wouldn't count on it. Plus, if winter weather is still around, it roughs up the Gulf waters more than any other time of year.
But the redfish, seatrout, flounder fishing should be turning on inshore. This is shallow water fishing in Mobile and Perdido bays. This is what I would plan on doing. Use light (bass fishing) tackle in this scenario. Use a 20-pound leader tied to jigs, soft plastics or plugs. Or, get live shrimp for bait (if you can find it).
Local info is the best for finding fish, but you should be able to pick up a map of inshore spots when you get into town. Or head out on the water looking for structure such as oysters, drop offs, dock pilings, and other fishy looking structure. Also, fish current edges where inshore gamefish have a chance to hide out.
A couple articles that are right up your alley:
-Techniques for catching redfish in Alabama: http://www.saltwatersportsman.com/gu...ish-techniques
-Orange Beach Alabama experiences big-time redfishing in colder months:http://www.saltwatersportsman.com/or...g-bull-redfish
-Trout fishing can be hot at Gulf Shores: http://www.saltwatersportsman.com/sp.../gator-country
Oh, and leave the planers boards for salmon up north. You could bring downriggers for kingfish that are hanging in the deeper waters off the coast, but I don't think it would be necessary. They'll hit baits at the top of the water column, no problem.
Good luck!
