8:04am Saturday 11th August 2012
Great Britain's established sprinters leapt to the defence of 18-year-old Adam Gemili on a night of yet more relay woe for the hosts at the Olympic Stadium.
While the men's 4x400 metres hurdles team finished an agonising fourth in the final event of the night, a courageous anchor-leg run from Martyn Rooney coming up just short, an all-too-familiar fumbled changeover cost the 4x100m quartet a place in the final.
Britain were disqualified when anchor leg runner Gemili set off too early as he was about to take the baton from Danny Talbot, 21. The 18-year-old slowed down dramatically, but the changeover still occurred outside the designated zone.
Gemili sprinted for the line and came home second, but the fact he immediately put his hands to his head told the story.
Chambers, 34, said: "It was a massive task for the two young boys. We had to use the best we had, those were the cards that were dealt to us and we had to deal with them as best as possible.
"They are taking responsibility for it. We are all out there trying our best. We had to put experience first and let the youth try and deliver. We asked a big task of them and they are disappointed as you can see.
"We were banking on getting ahead well enough, which we were, we were in a good position. We would have got the final and in the final we would have made changes."
Gemili said on the BBC: "It really is disappointing. I think I went on the check mark, maybe a tiny bit early."
The mistake continued a woeful record for Britain in the event, who, aside from the one glorious exception at the Athens 2004 Olympics, have lurched from one failure to the next.
Dropped batons at the Olympics in Atlanta (1996) and Sydney (2000) and the World Championships in Edmonton (2001), along with a disqualification at the last Olympics in Beijing and the World Championships in Daegu (2011) have ended their chances.
They also went out in the first round at the last European Championships in Barcelona two years ago, while at the most recent Europeans in Helsinki earlier this summer they also failed to get the baton round.
Malcolm said: "We know we're going to get the snipers on us now for not getting the baton round but you have to take the positives from this.
"We have two exceptional youngsters on the team who did an exceptional job today, it was just unfortunate.
"Adam didn't go off early, he went off on the check mark, but whatever you do in training you can't mimic when you get in that arena.
"When you have someone who is exceptionally talented they rise to the occasion and that's what Adam did. He rose to the occasion, got his adrenalin going and went out hard. It was unfortunate Danny couldn't catch him.
"You can't blame a lack of experience. To come in here in the biggest race of his life and be asked to run the last leg is a big burden, but he is the best guy to do the job right now."

Just another day
Seventy percent of the individuals accosted by an aneurysm bursting within their head will slip into a coma and then pass away that particular day, without realizing what has burst within them. As I got ready for a full day of writing fiction on Tuesday, March 27th this spring, I felt an odd sensation within the frontal left of my head. I told myself that it'd be wise to sit down for safety. Roughly an hour later, I found myself lying on the floor and unable to get up and walk at that moment. I crawled across a small room until I could grab a phone. Having called an ambulance, I then waited, still aware but feeling odd and vulnerable.
By the end of that day, I'd been delivered to a highly credentialed and enormously gifted neurosurgeon in Atlanta. Fortunately, he turned attention toward surgery and advised my wife and family that I seemed to be within the thirty percent standing a better chance of getting through alive.
I spent two weeks in intensive care, recovering well. The most important part of recovery involved my own awareness of my ability still to write. The pieces of characters began coming together within the context of the story I had been ready to begin on March 27th. They began coming together within the friendly home of my head, a head seemingly repaired.
It normally takes a year for full recovery after delicate surgery such as this. I seem to have progressed at a faster pace than that, according to comments from the surgeon. Now I can sit and continue the creative work I had planned for March 27th...and for other days. I can focus as sharply as ever on the drudgery involved in the art and craft of writing fiction, concentrating on keeping that fiction alive and well.
Each and every day when the writer is able to take on another blank page, or set of blank pages in any way, is a gift...appreciated more than ever.

A short documentary about sculptor Joe Fafard. Joe knows cows. He knows the way they tuck in their forelegs to lie down and ruminate, the way a calf romps in the barnyard. He also knows his friends and neighbours of the farming community of Pense, Saskatchewan. And he sculpts them all, in clay, in eloquent little miniatures. Joe's work has been exhibited throughout Canada as well as in Paris and New York. Here you see what he does.

Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: Scandal in Bohemia
"A Scandal in Bohemia" is the title of the first of a series of episodes of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes -- an excellent adaptation of a Sherlock Holmes mystery story, produced in Britain for Granada TV. In this episode, Jeremy Brett portrays the famed detective who, with the help of his companion Dr. Watson (David Burke), aids the King of Bohemia in recovering letters written to his mistress, the beautiful Irene Adler (Gayle Hunnicutt). This episode is unusual because Holmes shows considerable romantic interest in the intriguing Irene. This historically accurate series re-created the adventures of Conan Doyle's Victorian detective with impeccable faithfulness to the original story, sometimes to the extent of re-creating the illustrations which accompanied the original story publication in the Strand Magazine during the late 19th century. 13 of the Holmes short stories were adapted in this series, which was followed by two sequels, The Return of Sherlock Holmes and The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, as well as several TV movie adaptations. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre is yet another cinematic dramatization of Charlotte Bronte's classic 19th century romantic novel -- and at 239 minutes, the longest and most thorough. The familiar storyline traces the life of Jane Eyre from her miserable childhood in a bleak orphan's home to her assumption of a governess' post at the home of the mysterious Edward Rochester. Jane and Rochester fall in love, but their plans for marriage are blighted by the Terrible Secret hidden away in his attic. Only when total, devastating disaster befalls Rochester does he consider himself worthy of Jane's love. This 1983 multipart BBC adaptation of Jane Eyre stars Zelah Clarke in the title role and future James Bond Timothy Dalton as Rochester. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add Oliver Twist to top of Queue
The second British miniseries adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist aired over the BBC in 1985. Ben Rodska essays the title character, a much-maligned orphan boy who, unbeknownst to himself, is heir to a vast fortune. Before finding this out, Oliver falls into the clutches of the delightfully wicked pickpocket Fagin (Eric Porter) and the wholly evil outlaw Bill Sikes (Michael Attwell). Other familiar characters include the insouciant street urchin Artful Dodger (David Garlick), the tragic Nancy Sykes (Amanda Harris), benevolent Mr. Brownlow (Frank Middlemass), and the aptly named Bumble the Beadle (Godfrey James). Running for six half-hour episodes, Oliver Twist was later shown in the U.S. as part of the PBS anthology Wonderworks. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Robbery Under Arms
One of several feature film versions of the late 19th century novel by Rolf Boldrewood, this frontier adventure is set not in the Wild West of the U.S., but in the equally untamed Australian Outback of the same era. Two brothers, Jim (David McCallum) and Dick Marsten (Ronald Lewis) follow in their father's footsteps by leaving home to seek adventure as gunfighters. They become outlaws in the roving band led by stylish Captain Starlight (Peter Finch), who leads them on a series of escapades robbing banks and rustling cattle. Though they find the excitement and romance they craved, the Marstens soon become disillusioned with a life on the run and begin to wish that they could resume the mantle of honest, hard-working citizens. Unfortunately, events transpire to put the entire Starlight gang out of operation before the brothers can recommence their formerly law-abiding ways. Produced by Britain's Rank Organization, Robbery Under Arms (1957) was followed by a television series remake in 1985 and a handful of other films set against the colorful backdrop of the Australian frontier, including The Man from Snowy River (1982) and Quigley Down Under (1990). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Add Sense and Sensibility to top of Queue
Ten years before Jane Austen's novel Sense and Sensibility was transformed into a lavish theatrical feature by director Ang Lee, the property was adapted as a rather less lavish but no less entertaining British TV miniseries. Irene Richard and Tracy Childs starred as Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, two attractive sisters from a prominent British family. When the Dashwoods go broke after the death of their father, the flighty Marianne and the more reserved (and, need we add, more intelligent) Elinor go on an exhaustive search for proper, and properly wealthy, husbands. Sense and Sensibility was served up in three 60-minute portions by the BBC. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Secret Agent
Joseph Conrad's pioneering espionage novel The Secret Agent is perhaps best known to modern audiences via Alfred Hitchcock's 1936 film adaptation Sabotage. A less colorful but more faithful-to-the-text version of the Conrad novel was telecast in two 45-minute installments by Britain's BBC2 on July 8 and 15, 1967. Nigel Green starred as Verloc, a seemingly harmless London merchant who sidelined as an anarchist and a double agent for both the British and the Russians. Also in the cast was Rosemary Hill as Verloc's long-suffering wife, Vinnie, who was moved to a terrible vengeance when her husband's clandestine activities resulted in the accidental death of her mentally impaired younger brother. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Siege of Sidney Street
A real-life incident became the basis for this highly fictionalized drama about a January 1911 confrontation between political anarchists and London police in that city's Whitechapel district that resulted in an infamous, blazing gun battle. Sara (Nicole Berger) is an orphaned Russian girl who works as a singer in a nightclub. There she meets Peter (Peter Wyngarde), anarchist leader of expatriate Latvians agitating for the independence of their home country following the failed revolt of 1905. At first, Sara is sympathetic to Peter and his cause, but she soon discovers that the rebels are using whatever means necessary, including robbery and murder, to raise money for their crusade, and that Peter himself has an overly pragmatic, callous attitude toward the taking of innocent life. The group's nefarious activities have attracted the attention of London police, and an inspector, Mannering (Donald Sinden) goes undercover with the anarchists in order to help bring them to justice. Mannering feels sympathy for Sara and befriends her, coming to understand her lonely attraction to Peter. The gang's violent onslaught continues unabated and results in a raid that pits gang members against hundreds of armed police. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

The Victors
An epic and unusual anti-war drama about WWII, writer-director Carl Foreman's heavily ironic saga is loosely based on the novel The Human Kind by Alexander Baron. It follows the adventures of an American infantry platoon based in Sicily that participates in the invasion of France, marches into Germany, and remains there for the Allied post-war occupation. Interspersed during the nearly three-hour film are vignettes of silly newsreel scenes from the home front. These are contrasted with disturbing incidents from the war. George Peppard plays Corporal Chase, who has an affair with a woman who wants him to desert to help her run a black market business. He visits the wounded Sergeant Craig (Eli Wallach) in the hospital and finds that most of his face has been blown away. Sgt. Trower (George Hamilton) takes up with a woman who turns out to be a prostitute The plot is highly episodic, with characters coming and going. Originally released at 175 minutes, the picture was withdrawn from distribution and edited down to 156 minutes to place greater emphasis on onscreen action. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

Vanity Fair
Vanity Fair, William Makepeace Thackeray's once-controversial novel about the ambitious and amoral country lass Becky Sharp, has been adapted for British television on a number of occasions. This version, telecast by the BBC in 1987, was the most ambitious to date, running a full 16 half-hour episodes. Eve Matheson starred as the bewitching Becky, who rose to prominence in British society during the Napoleonic wars, only to crash and burn as a result of her own machinations and her predilection for loving neither wisely nor well. The 1987 Vanity Fair was later broadcast in America courtesy of the A&E cable network. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Residents consulted on a further £60m of cuts
2:00pm Monday 23rd September 2013 in News
FINANCE bosses will hold five crunch meetings with residents as they prepare to save an extra £60m.
Oxfordshire County Council will be in Oxford, Witney, Wantage, Didcot and Banbury to discuss plans with residents.
This comes after it announced it would have to save £60m on top of cuts of £200m already made or planned.
The budget-setting process will not begin until the council knows how much cash it is due to receive from central Government, and this may not be announced until December.
Council leader Ian Hudspeth said: "It is important that we hear from residents about the services they value most and which ones they could live without. We also want to talk about charging for services or raising income in other ways."
Meetings will start on October 14, at Banbury Town Hall,then on October 15 councillors and officers will be at County Hall in Oxford before moving on to Wantage Civic Hall on October 21.
They will be at Cornerstone Arts Centre in Didcot at October 23 and the final meeting will be at Henry Box School in Witney on October 24. All the meetings will run from 7.30pm to 9pm.

In the shorter term, someone independent needs to go over the council's finances and see where they can save money, but more importantly, HOW the council tax can be reduced. It is now one of people's biggest outgoings and is absurdly high.

Question My ten yearl old dog is suffering from arthritis in her back hips. What can I do to make her more comfortable?
Answer If you haven't already, you should take your dog to your veterinarian to find out if there are any medications that may help her with the discomfort and muscle strength in her back legs and/or lower back. Your veterinarian can recommend products to help keep her joints flexible and painkillers that should relieve her discomfort. If she is carrying any extra weight, getting her to lose even a few pounds may make a big difference in her comfort level and ability to get around. It may also help to provide a soft surface for your dog to sleep on.

You're using the wrong conceptual model. This is not a "computer room in a box", it's more a "very large self contained rack". While I could fit myself inside a deep double wide rack unit (and have done so to do cabling before the equipment is installed) it's not the normal mode of operation. There are other things packaged like this such as fire-control and missile guidance radars, or standby power generators (ever looked behind the facades at traveling carnivals?), and large scale portable HVAC. You'll also see "skid mounted" equipment, but, again, in the basic 8x10x20-40 foot form factor. There's probably no intention that anyone would work on it "hot". And, there's lots of industrial equipment that combines high power and water (if not corrosive liquids) in a shipping container sized package without problems. It's all a matter of good engineering. One of the big engineering challenges for the first H-bomb was how to get large amounts of liquid deuterium around the country and to the South Pacific without losing any of it. Big dewars and refrigeration equipment all packaged in containers or on a skid was how it's done.

Product Information
Designed by experienced guide and imaginative knife maker Russ Komer, the Packer Series knives were conceived on the unforgiving frontiers of Alaska. The unique handle design and blade shapes maximize cutting efficiency and reduce wrist fatigue. This semi-skinner is perfect for just what the name implies: quickly and smoothly skinning killed game. Though these knives were most certainly designed with the outdoorsman in mind, they also feature genuine stag handles and a beautifully crafted leather sheath. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation edition sports burl handles with a laser engraved REMF logo on the bolsters and a functional nylon sheath. Browning has done it again with a knife series that exemplifies function meeting form; the Packer will turn heads regardless of what you are doing or wherever you are.

It was touted as a triumph of modern engineering when it opened in 1928, a road across the once-impassable Everglades that took 2.6 million sticks of dynamite and 13 years to construct.
On Tuesday, U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar led a celebration of a long-awaited, different sign of progress on Tamiami Trial: the completion of a one-mile-long bridge designed to begin healing the ecological wounds inflicted by a road that has blocked the flow of the Everglades for nearly 90 years.
"It truly is a crown jewel of an achievement," said Salazar, who snipped a red-ribbon, then took a ceremonial first drive across the span in a hybrid SUV.
The $81 million bridge, scheduled to open to daily traffic in a few weeks, ranks among the most significant Everglades projects to date. It sets the stage for the first breach later this year of a historic road that has been far more than just a lime rock-and-asphalt barrier to reviving the shrunken, struggling River of Grass. The effort to get more water under the bumpy two-lane black top, originally launched by Congress in 1989, has encapsulated all the numbing delays, doubts and disputes that have dogged the broader plans to restore the Everglades.
The bridge took four years to build — but it was a two-decade battle to simply get it started.
"It's a day that a lot of folks thought they maybe would never see,'' said Julie Hill-Gabriel, Everglades policy coordinator for Audubon of Florida. In all, about 200 environmentalists, federal officials, park managers and rangers came out to mark the milestone and take in a new postcard vista. For the first time, motorists can view vast, bird-dotted marshes past the L-29 levee to the north and a tangled jungle lining the Trail to the south.
By itself, the bridge won't initially make much of a difference to the health of the Everglades – at least until crews later this year remove the old road bed it replaces just a few miles west of Krome Avenue, which will boost current water flows by as much as 15 percent. When the project is completed by raising and reinforcing about 10 miles of the adjacent Trail to handle higher water levels, peak rainy season water flows could nearly double compared to the volume that passes through 19 culverts built under the old road.
That should provide some relief to one of the driest swaths of the Everglades fed by the Shark River Slough, once a major artery of life-giving water. The Trail, along with levees and drainage canals built in the 1960s, choked water flow to a fifth of its historic volume and profoundly altered the landscape, killing off marsh plants and driving away wildlife, with wading birds dropping as much as 90 percent in the park. The ripple effects extended down to a too-salty Florida Bay plagued by sea-grass die-offs and algae blooms.
"The big story is that water levels in the wetlands can go up and that's a very good thing,'' said Tom Van Lent, senior scientist for the Everglades Foundation. Re-establishing the broad "sheet flow" of the River of Grass – rather than gushing water through narrow culverts – also will start to help recreate natural conditions that shaped wildlife patterns and the "ridge and slough" geography that defines the Everglades marsh, he said.
"Besides just getting water across the road, there is a lot of stuff in that water: fish, turtles, nutrients, sediments,'' Van Lent said. "Anything that is in that water needs to get to the other side of the road."

Online Reservations
Reservation honored right away. Menu offers very carefully thought out variety of choices. Loved my red flannel hash with two perfect poached eggs. My friends crab eggs Benedict good too, nice crisp and creamy home fries. Excellent Bloody Mary. Friend could chose a grapefruit or regular mimosa. Will go back to try other choices. Oh, price a bargin at $25 with drinks. In old industrial area the minimally modified warehouse was beautiful and relaxing.
My partner and I took my mother to Serpentine for Mother's Day. The brunch menu was a real treat and the unique plates such as Polenta and rabbit was pretty tasty. I had the brisket and crispy potatoes while my Mom had the fresh crab cakes. The bloody Mary was good and fresh (not some mix). Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely take friends from out of town. I've been there numerous times prior to Mother's day. It remains as one of my neighborhood favorites and right across the street from Mr. and Mrs. Miscelleaous makes being in the area even better. Easy to find parking and great interior!
This is our neighborhood place and we just love the food and people there. Everything is great on the menu!!
Two comments: 1. How many restaurants are brave enough to serve chicken livers as a appetizer - they were great! 2. Five [5] asparagus doesn't count as a side dish - that's a"garnish".
I brought a couple of very picky and opinionated friends there for dinner and they just loved the food - varied, interesting, and tasty - it's super noisy but a very cool space - it's out of the way in Dog Patch - drive - there are no cabs
Easy street parking! The food is high quality and delicious. We will definitely be back
great chicken liver salad and braised pork osso bucco. lovely service.
The last couple of times I ate at Serpentine I didn't have a reservation so couldn't leave feedback. I've had lunch, brunch, dinner and bar bites and been delighted with them all. The food here isn't fancy, but it's absolutely delicious. Everyone I've dealt with has been really nice and totally into local food and drinks.
When I'm craving good ole wholesome Californian food with high quality, sustainable ingredients, I come here. I can taste the love in the food. I am gluten, dairy, and egg intolerant. I've been a fan of Serpentine for awhile, even in my gluten/dairy/egg eating days. They make killer calamari, burgers, and frites. Drinks are great. Brunch is amazing! FINALLY THERE IS A RESTAURANT WHO KNOWS HOW TO MAKE A PROPER FRUIT BOWL. They use seasonal fruits, cut them fresh, and don't use melons. The service here is super friendly, and they are also extremely tolerant of the gluten, dairy, egg intolerant, which makes me happy. You won't feel like a glutard here. :)
Beautiful high ceilings match a chatty yet intimate ambiance with tons of natural light. Excellent coffee, appetizers, and filling yet still healthy main dishes. Splendid!
This was our fourth time at Serpentine and we love it. We like to bring friends and share this great find in the growing Dog Patch area of town. Service is friendly and attentive. Food never disappoints. Burgers, Chicken, Pasta...all really good. They don't have a big selection of wine by the glass but the ones they do offer have been thoughtfully selected. Good selection of beer as well. Parking is easy.
Perfect for a Saturday night...casual and trendy but not too crowded. The cocktails were amazing and we ordered 5...all different ones. Will definitely back for brunch.
Serpentine is a true neighborhood gem. My husband and I have been for both dinner and brunch just the two of us, dinner with visiting guests/family, and for brunch with friends. We've never been disappointed. The brunch offerings are delicious. The baked eggs over beans, squash, and mushrooms are great, as is the fried egg sandwich, and polenta dish. I've also enjoyed the mixed greens with grilled chicken breast. Everything had wonderful flavor and perfectly seasoned. My friend ordered the croque-monsieur "madame" style (with an egg on top) and had no complaints. The service is always friendly and attentive.
Everyone liked the food but the portions were really small. All adults were all still hungry after our entrees, the kids were fine. Nice service and venue.
We would highly recumbent the food especially the chicken livers - delish. Also ask to be seated in Tommy's section, he was fantastic. Our first waitress basically forgot about us and then Tommy stepped in and was great. Also some of the tables could use a little more light to see the menu and food. Will definitely be back though.
My favorite restaurant in the city, three years and running, was Foreign Cinema. But I think this is my new favorite! The food was fantastic, but what really set it apart for me was the intimate ambiance. We were in a booth that felt very private, and could have a quiet conversation without struggling to hear each other. It seems like a lot of the exceptional restaurants in the city for food miss this element. I'm pretty sure their menu changes frequently, but I had the scallops on top of a creamed corn (heavenly, and so fresh), mariposa plum tart with ice cream for dessert (so good!). We ordered the pork rib starter and that was also fantastic. I'd highly recommend all 3. Also, easy to park nearby.
My 3rd visit and I will be back again. A great menu, couldn't decide on salmon or a burger. Had to go with one the the best burgers in town... And of course, started off with a wonderful calamari appetizer. Outstanding cocktails too.
Fantastic food, great atmosphere. Seasoning was perfect on everything. Loved The Stalker cocktail and shaved summer vegetable salad. Will be back to try more options soon.
Amazing all around. Wonderful food, amazing service and a damn handsome head chef.
Serpentine is an unpretentious little gem in Dogpatch. Sometimes it's difficult to get reservations, but when you do, you can look forward to the following: Great cocktails Amazing corn chowder Light fluffy gnocchi scallops to die for good service friendly staff sneaky birthday dessert
We had the pickled veggies, the yogurt honey sauce was incredible! We had scallops and burger, both amazing!
Dinner was excellent. The space is cool, the staff was friendly and attentive. Every course was delicious. My favorite was the UNBELIEVABLE lemon buttermilk cake for dessert. It was out of this world. I will go back. Many times.
Manhattans were ordered right away. We ordered oysters- fresh and amazing. The stone fruit salad was delicate and sweet with nectarines and hazelnuts. The Indian spiced ribs are a must! Lovely and wanted more. We ordered the duck plate and seared scallops to share- YUM!!! The duck was leg and thigh and fell off the bone. Paired with root veggies, I was stoked. My friend had the scallops on a bed of truffled polenta that made me swoon. Along this plight we had The Acadian cocktail that was spicy and complimented the duck. My friend ordered a Sauv blanc that was outstanding. To end the meal I highly suggest the lemon cake and an espresso made to perfection.
We were starving when we arrived, and couldn't believe how quickly our orders came through! The food was delicious, even the calamari was very uniquely prepared...we were just thrilled. Can't wait to go back!
...is better than the first! The first time was good, but this place gets better! The Acadian was perfect again. My friend had Monice's shrine to which I will have next time. Spiced ribs and fries to start-bomb pairing. The hanger steak is a rich tender dishwith smokey notes. The pasta wild nettle tagliatelle was perfection - decadent. Buttermilk lemon cake with blueberry sauce is lovely!
We went there for a joint birthday dinner party with some friends. I liked the atmosphere and the food was great. You can tell that everything is made fresh. I got Monice's shrine, a cocktail with gin and grapefruit, and that was also delicious. The only downside was that as the evening got darker, so did the restaurant. We could barely see what we were eating. I understand that the dim lighting is for atmospheric purposes, but it sure would help to be able to enjoy the aesthetic of our food!
I've eaten at Serpentine about 8-10 times at this point. Several times for dinner, a couple for brunch and a couple for weekday lunch. They have a small but imaginative menu of things that are creative and delicious. Some nice cocktails as well. I've gone there for work dinners and the service is always great and the range of choices suits a party of 5-8 people well (enough variety but without making the process of ordering take forever). Brunch is another bright spot, especially the red flannel hash. They also have a great burger and I recently tried their spicy veggie burger, which was tasty as well.
Loved the food - savory bread pudding was really great. The place is lovely, but the noise level is far too loud!
Menu, lovely. Nearly impossible to narrow it down and I got more than I could eat simply because I wanted to try everything! Food, delicious and beautiful. Next time I'm back will I order the same thing, or venture from what was absolutely the most delicious gnocchi I've ever had? Service, friendly and sufficient. Rushed even though there was not going to be a table after us, and really, just poor timing. This little city is too full of great food with stellar service to make me feel obliged to tip well for self righteous wait staff. And I come from being a waiter myself. Made the difference between a $26 and a $40 tip.
first time here, in an industrial area, but is a gem. The food was great, I had the cod with vegetables which was fantastic. I will definitely go back if I'm in the area.
Had to wait a while for the waiter to attend to you. But the food was really good and the service as well - they are very friendly. And the queue isn't that long for brunch visits (I went there around 11.15am)
We had a friend in from out of town -- though she used to live here -- and wanted to take her to a really nice place that was still reasonable in price with delicious food and a good atmosphere. Serpentine was perfect. We all had fabulous drinks from the drinks list and the food was outstanding. A good variety of flavors but a very cohesive meal -- the Roasted Delicata Squash Salad was amazing! They were kind enough to be able to accommodate a request that we have a table where we could more easily talk, so it was ideal. The wait staff was excellent and attentive yet easy going in a really good way. Just a great evening out with wonderful food.
Service was excellent, food was delicious, and drinks were fabulous.
We love Serpentine. The food is consistently great, the cocktails are creative and well crafted, and the environment is cool yet unassuming. We love the funky, converted industrial space feel. (One note: the dining area can feel a bit cramped and many of the tables are close together, so don't go here expecting a private dining experience). We've been here 4-5 times in the past 2 years and we've never been disappointed. It's our "go-to" spot in SF. You should also check out their sister restaurant: Slow Club
A cornerstone of the Dog Patch, Serpentine is consistent and not too crowded (for whatever reason). If you feel like getting high quality food at a reasonable price without the hype, come here.
Serpentine is a fabulous spot if you're pulling a group together for brunch. Our group had an infant and they had no trouble accommodating us, even providing a tucked away spot so we were aside from other diners. The food was fantastic, too. Thumbs up, once again!
I made a reservation two weeks out for a Sunday brunch, party of 6. We were running late, but the restaurant was very kind and accommdating for our party. We got the cozy booth near the bar seating, giving us room to talk away from others. The bloody mary as well as my favorite, Monice's Shrine--a cockatail of gin, elderflower liquer, grapefruit juice and champagne. The Cured Salmon Benedict offered sharp yet delicate zing of a thinly sliced and crispy friend meyer lemon garnish that tops the Benny. The baked eggs were both rich tasting and refined. The country-fried steak and eggs were yummy, although we'd prefer the eggs over easy rather than scrambled. All in all a very happy birthday brunch. Thanks Serpentine!
One of my favorite restaurants. A hot spot in the dogpatch district. The food is consistently excellent. Service is always great. Cocktails are outstanding. A true gem!
For foreign visitors in town for biotech business in So. SF, Serpentine was a quick drive away and a quintessential SF experience. They loved every aspect: ambience, food, mixed drinks.
My first time at Serpentine after hearing so much about it. The food was really nice and made in such a way that the dishes were about each item and not covering with sauce or too much, but allowing the natural flavors to be tasted. The pickled veggies were a bit firmer than I would prefer and they should be more bite size since cutting is quite difficult without the proper utensils. The calamari was fresh and very tasty. Mains and desert were also really nice and very well portioned. Hand crafted drinks top it off and make for a custom experience vs. a generic one. Service was a bit hap-hazard but didn't affect the overall evening. Looking forward to going back!
Serpentine is exceeding expectations as this was my 4th visit. The service Monday evening was on par with my other visits to Serpentine. Every staff member we encountered was professional, warm and welcoming.
Our food was outstanding, our waitress was lovely and overall we had a super time.
My wife and I had a terrific dinner. We began with an apple salad and oysters, both excellent. My main was a swordfish dish with couscous and roasted vegetables that was just delightful. My wife had a "taliatelle with nettles" dish that, although I had poked fun at how it sounded on the menu, she really enjoyed it. We finished with a spiced chocolate cake and fruit upside down cake that were also wonderful.
we celebrated my mother-in-law's 70th birthday with a group of 11, including two kids. it couldn't have gone better. the food exceeded my expectations (SF foodie). the service was attentive but comfortable (not obsequious). the soft candlelit ambiance was superb. the vibe felt hip and warm and fun. we ordered a variety of starters and entrees and everything was truly great -- not overly precious. good portions. good flavor combos. yet straightforward (how i like it). the desserts were truly outstanding, though. every one was special (the lemon cake was especially superb, as was the apple cranberry tart, which was done less sweet and more fruit-forward in the european style). they did the candle thing without me asking. all in all, perfect.
Absolutely amazing. One of SF's finest breakfast/brunch spots.
Solid neighborhood joint. Service was prompt, attentive and helpful. Food was interesting mix of flavors and textures. Seemed to be very high quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Environment was quite clean and welcoming. Only complaint is that our booth was a little cramped with respect to legroom and it was a touch on the noisy side. I went for brunch, but would certainly go back and give dinner a go.
I have thoroughly enjoyed lunch here several times. The changing, seasonal menu features inventive dishes using local produce. Good vegetarian and meat options, ranging from sandwiches and salads to pastas, meat and fish entrees. Also has a full bar.
We always brunch/lunch at Serpentine after shopping the Dogpatch holiday extravaganza. Brunch was yummy, the server brought the wrong drink, but it was tasty enough to be amusing, so we did not advise him of the error. Portions not so very big, the couple next to us ordered a table full of dishes so they knew best. Fun, hip, not transcenantly wonderful, which is just fine. It is only food people.
Table was waiting for us even though the restaurant was quite busy. Menu had great variety and unique dishes. We chose the Dungeness Crab Eggs Benedict and Red flannel Hash. Both dishes were outstanding. Garnishes of fried thinly sliced lemons on the Benedict were so tasty and the beets in the Hash were perfect. Fresh Arugula was part of both dishes and it was quite fresh and tasty. Service was also quite good. Will go again
Menu changes frequently and always offers a great variety of both meat and vegetarian options- great cocktails. Atmosphere is modern but comfortable and service is very friendly and efficient.


text: In this book a mother and her daughter are hurt in a fire at a school, and while their bodies are in the hospital the mother follows her friends and relatives around to figure out what happened to them. While this is an unusual way to solve a mystery (although it has some common elements with "The Lovely Bones"), I found it to a compelling read. I very much enjoyed the solving of the mystery and by the end of the book I thought that the emotional twists also worked well without getting maudlin or sappy.

Classic Spanish cooking usually is not innovative, but at Barceloneta Mercat and Bistro — a restaurant in South Beach now opening a second location in South Miami — a Puerto Rican chef's twist is making tapas chic.
With its convivial atmosphere and authentic wine list, Barceloneta has become a South Beach hot spot. The new location in South Miami comes at a time when the neighborhood is becoming popular for happy hour, and Catalan cuisine has solidified its place in bars around the country because of its radical simplicity.
Co-owner and Chef Juliana Gonzalez said the name comes from the vibrant Barceloneta towns of Spain and Puerto Rico, which both have sandy beaches and fun restaurants. The focus on freshness reminds her of the colorful Boqueria food market in Barcelona. In the kitchen, equipped with traditional cookware like the paellera pans and terra-cotta cazuelas, she gets creative with the presentation and plays with ingredients.
"We don't make the traditional Pimientos de Padrón peppers. We use a Japanese pepper called Shishito, which is very similar," Gonzalez said. "Unlike the traditional recipe which only sautéed the peppers with salt, I add the sea salt Maldon, the blue-cheese Valdeón from León, made with cow and goats milk, and top it with a powder of candied walnuts."
The 75-seat dining room at 5850 Sunset Drive is set to open in December. It will have terracotta ceramic tiled floors, chalk boards and will be decorated with rustic dark wooden furniture, and low ambient lighting. Its straightforward menu includes dishes focused on quality ingredients from the Mediterranean coast and fresh organic vegetables from local farms.
Gonzalez, a Johnson & Wales University grad who also studied marketing in Puerto Rico, trained with the famous culinary trend-setter Chef Sergi Arola and Chef Ángel Palacios at La Broche, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Madrid. It once had a small location in Brickell, where she also trained with Chef Jordi Vallès at the former Mosaico and Salero restaurant. Now sous-chef John Gallo will be learning from her in South Miami.
At any taperia, the meal always starts with Pica Pica, a snack such as spicy marinated olives, anchovies or chips. The artisan cheese, at $5 a portion, is presented on a "tabla" with bread and marmalade. There are plenty of choices, including the famous sheep's milk Manchego from Don Quixote's La Mancha, the Idiazabal from Basque Country, which has a salty earthy flavor, and the creamy goats milk Garrotxa from Catalunya.
Diners can expect small saucers with the most basic of tapas — tortilla de patata or tortilla española, a small potato omelet, the crispy croquetas with ham, jamón serrano fermin, and sausages like embutidos, chorizo, and morcilla.
"We consider ourselves a product kitchen. Our chicken and beef is organic. We get our tomatoes, micro basil and baby arugula from Paradise Farm in Homestead," co-owner Daniella Rezai said. "We get our fideos from Barcelona, the garbanzos from Navarro, the rice arroz bomba de Calasparra from Murcia and the L'estornell olive oil from Barcelona."
The olive oil is used in almost every dish. For example, in the $10 Huevos Estrellados, it is used to mix fried fingerling potatoes that are creamy and butter flavored, onions, and chorizo. The mix is served in a casserole and topped with two organic fried eggs. Other dishes include local yellowtail snapper, langoustine from Nigeria, Calamari from Vietnam and Octopus from Spain.

KIRKSVILLE, MO -- With the NEMO Fair in Kirksville this week there will be rides, food, entertainment, and of course...animals.
Monday, our cameras saw the first of rabbits, sheep and cows getting settled in their areas at the NEMO Fairgrounds.
Throughout this fair week, 4-H and FFA students will be showing their farm animals and projects at various shows to be judged and get the chance to win awards.
For many kids, this is the time of the year all their hard work through the school year pays off.
"The best part for me is the competition. I like the to see whom I am up against with my rabbits and chickens. I know how to improve by looking at other's animals and asking them the techniques about it," said Tatum Thomason, who shows chickens and rabbits.
The animal shows at the NEMO Fair kick off Tuesday with the sheep, lamb and poultry shows at 9 a.m.
The rabbit and beef shows will take place Wednesday at 8 a.m.
The swine show is taking place on Thursday at 8 a.m and the goat show will be at 10 a.m on Friday.

Run by Stanford University's coaches' education trainer Mike Legarza and boasting a camper return rate of 90%, Legarza Basketball Camp develops young dribblers in a structured environment of positive support and fundamental basketball instruction, valuing hard work and effort. Morning camps focus on shooting and ball handling, as orb-bouncers will learn the basics of scoring and protecting the basketball. Players will be divided into teams for the week and play one game per day with a tournament at the end of the week. Afternoon camps concentrate on gameplay, as youngsters will be introduced to gamesmanship and strategy, such as when to feed the ball to the 7-footer in the post and when to feed the ball to the siberian tiger spotting up for a three-pointer.
Bay Area Hang Gliding offers hang glider training, sales, service and Tandem Discovery Flights. We conduct our lessons at one of our training hills in either Milpitas or Hollister California. Tandem Discovery Flights are done at one of the many bay area hang gliding sites.

The Silicon Valley Film Festival serves hungry cinephiles a slate of short and full-length films, music videos, and animations, with an emphasis on eco-friendly digital media. The festival showcases the efforts of young independent filmmakers only recently emerged from cocoons of Ingmar Bergman's mustache hair, supplying seasoned attendees with fresh, provocative works. Award categories this year include Best Vision of The Future, Best Music Video, and Best Green Earth Film, an honor reserved for talking pictures that emphasize environmental stewardship. Among the scheduled films include Bob Marley: Making of a Legend, and though this year's full slate of films has yet to be announced, one day of last year's festival featured more than 30 short films, a post-festival dance, and the revelation that tomatoes are actually fruit.
The extensive facilities of MVP Arena, which include indoor and outdoor fields, a basketball court, and batting cages, host visitors for an array of sports leagues and classes. Adults hone their skills in training classes and then unveil new maneuvers on one another during league games for basketball, flag football, and soccer. Bat wielders practice swing timing and charging the mound without fear of retaliation in the batting cages, where regulation pitching distance and a mural of the San Francisco Bay recreate the excitement of practicing in a big-league stadium. In addition, three of the cages feature virtual pitchers that help batters time ball delivery at different speeds or a random assortment of slow, medium, and fast.
For more than a decade, Team Bay Tennis's founder and director Igor Savanovic has fine-tuned the swings of athletes ranging from beginners to pros. Savanovic and two other instructors tailor their instruction to varying levels of play. They work with graduated court and racket sizes while forming a personal rapport and motivational relationship with students. Adults hone strokes in clinics or one-on-one lessons that focus on technical aspects of the game, such as how to deal with hecklers.
At Menlo Hub, both food and art find a place on the menu. The modern restaurant's walls are blanketed in original contemporary paintings, and on some nights, the dining space reverberates with music from live bands and solo musicians. But even on nights with performances, the main attraction is always found in the kitchen. Here, chefs design casual American dishes sprinkled with elements of Mediterranean cooking.
The menus focus on simple steaks and seafood, complemented by organic produce sourced from nearby sustainable farms. The artfully plated dishes include California sea bass, New York steaks with gorgonzola demi-glace, and eggplant-wrapped lamb shanks. While most visitors sample the cuisine in the airy main dining space, private groups eat in a secluded room warmed by a corner fireplace.
At the lively bar, flat-screen TVs broadcast sporting events as bartenders mix fruit-infused martinis and pour a range of California wines, which are made from grapes that are just thankful that they never became California raisins.

Subject: | Business Opportunity Rule |
Title: | Notice of Proposed Rulemaking |
CFR Citation: | 16 CFR Part 437 |
No Attachments |
My name is Vickie Levy. I am an Independent Associate of Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., and I am writing today about the FTC's proposed "Business Opportunity Rule R511993". I have been with Pre-Paid Legal for nearly eight years. I am greatly concerned because I believe this rule would have a negative impact on my home-based business, my income and my family. The FTC would require a seven-day waiting period before new Associates can sign up as a Pre-Paid Legal sales Associate. The FTC would require me to provide the names and telephone numbers of the 10 nearest prior purchasers of the "Business Opportunity" to all potential Associates. This disclosure will violate the privacy rights of other purchasers, and create opportunities for identity theft. The FTC would require me to provide a list of lawsuits filed against the company going back 10 years. This is unfair because it does not distinguish between findings and allegations. Since people file lawsuits for all sorts of reasons, and sometimes for NO reasons, requiring this kind of disclosure effectively allows meritless lawsuits to turn into winning lawsuits. While the FTC's proposal might be well-intentioned, I believe it is ill-conceived and would have a dramatic negative impact on many or most small businesses. It would unfairly target legitimate, publicly held, direct selling businesses like Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. While I understand and agree that there are corrupt "opportunities" popping up virtually everywhere, this is not the way to deal with them. It is punitive to those of us with integrity and vision, who promote doing the right thing. That is integral to our training! It is said that time will either promote you or expose you; Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. is a rock solid, NYSE company with over 33 years of experience! I respectfully request that you STOP this proposed rule! Sincerely, Vickie Levy

Go to YouTube and search ILLEGAL ALIEN WITH 10 US BORN KIDS if link doesn't work.
They claim not to be criminals. Listen and observe. I can point out a few laws that they broke along with a few they are probably breaking but doesn't show.
1. Being here illegally
2. Working without papers. Probably using fake or stolen SS numbers for jobs. She said they worked in Restaurants. Don't you have to have a SS card for that?
3. Driving without a license
4. Driving without insurance
5. Not having the correct child seats in the car. Watch as they drive away in their Suburban. It only has 8 seats. They have 2 adults plus 10 children.
6. (Speculative). Probably getting some type of welfare illegally. Their is no way you can support a family of 12 on minimum wage jobs. Raising 1 child on that is pushing it. They have to be getting some type of assistance. Illegals tend to push out at least 3 anchor babies while they are here. We are picking up the tab because they will never pay enough taxes into the system to support it.
Not criminals huh? If I did any of the first 5 I could get arrested. Why do these people get a pass? They knew they were breaking the laws by coming here. If I break the law and a warrant is put out on me I know that in the back if my mind that someday, sometime, somewhere I could get arrested at any moment. Am I able to say "you can't take me away I have children" "it's okay officer, I am hard worker"? No I can't. That's what these people just don't get.
Certainly makes you wonder why businesses worked so hard to get them here.
Oh, I know. The one rule of business.

Saxe-Coburg and Gotha or Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (German: Herzogtum Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha) is the collective name for the duchies of Saxe-Coburg and Saxe-Gotha in Germany. They were in what today are the states of Bavaria and Thuringia, respectively, and were in personal union between 1826 and 1918. The Duchy (German: Herzogtum) came to an end in November 1918 with the other German monarchies, and the Free State of Saxe-Coburg and the Free State of Saxe-Gotha were established. The former was merged into the Free State of Bavaria and the latter into the new state of Thuringia two years later.
The name Saxe-Coburg-Gotha also refers to the family of the ruling House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, which played many varied roles in nineteenth and twentieth-century European dynastic and political history, branches of which currently reign in Belgium and the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms.
Saxe-Coburg and Saxe-Gotha were Saxon duchies held by the Ernestine branch of the Wettin dynasty. The duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha originated as the personal union of these two duchies in 1826, after the death of the last Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg without male heirs. His Wettin relations repartitioned his lands. The former husband of Louise of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, the only niece of the last duke, was Duke Ernest III of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. He received Gotha and changed his name and title to Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, although the two duchies remained separate.
Ernest I died in 1844. His elder son and successor, Ernest II, ruled until his own death in 1893. As he died childless, the throne of the duchies would have passed to the male descendants of Ernest's late brother Albert, the Prince Consort, husband of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. However, the constitutions of both duchies excluded the British heir apparent from the ducal thrones if there were other eligible male heirs,[1] although Albert Edward, Prince of Wales had already renounced his claim to the ducal throne in favour of his next brother, Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh.
Alfred's only son, also Alfred, committed suicide in 1899, so when Duke Alfred died in 1900 he was succeeded by his nephew the Duke of Albany, the 16-year-old son of Queen Victoria's youngest son, Leopold, Alfred's next brother Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and his son Prince Arthur of Connaught having renounced the succession. Reigning as Duke Carl Eduard, or Charles Edward, under the regency of the Hereditary Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg until he came of age in 1905, the new duke also continued to use his British title, Duke of Albany. As a result of Charles Edward fighting for Germany against the British in the First World War he was stripped of his British titles in 1919.[2]
Charles Edward reigned until November 18, 1918, when, during the "November Revolution", the Workers' and Soldiers' Council of Gotha deposed him. The two Duchies, now without a common ruler, became two independent states, the Free States of Coburg and Gotha, but in 1920 they ceased to exist. Coburg united with Bavaria while Gotha merged with other small states to form the state of Thuringia in the Weimar Republic.
The capitals of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha were Coburg and Gotha. By 1914 the area and populations of the two duchies were:[3]
Duchy | Area | Population | |
km² | sq mi | ||
Saxe-Coburg | 562 | 217 | 74,818 |
Saxe-Gotha | 1,415 | 546 | 182,359 |
Total | 1,977 | 763 | 257,177 |
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was the only European country to appoint a diplomatic consul, Ernst Raven, to the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. He was assigned to a position in the state of Texas. He applied to the Confederate Government for a diplomatic exequatur on July 30, 1861 and was accepted.[4][full citation needed]
According to the House law of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha the full title of the Duke was:
Wir, Ernst, Herzog zu Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha, Jülich, Cleve und Berg, auch Engern und Westphalen, Landgraf in Thüringen, Markgraf zu Meißen, gefürsteter Graf zu Henneberg, Graf zu der Mark und Ravensberg, Herr zu Ravenstein und Tonna usw.
