Not sized right
By Annie
from North Port, FL
Shoes looked nice but were too small even though I ordered my exact size I normally wear. Waiting for next size up.
I would buy this product again and again
By Katstone
from Sicklerville, NJ
I ordered these a while ago. I put the nail art zebra design on the bow ends on either side with a tiny bling in the middle on both shoes and they looks fabulous. Everyone asks about them. They are so comfortable and I slip into them to go out anywhere; shopping, etc. The only thing I do not like is the cut of the shoe at the bow point. It's very wide and I was going to order another pair, but there is no option to order a Narrow width. It's been so long since I ordered them and I wear them to death, that I rubbed the size off and I don't have any of the paperwork. So, I don't know what the original size was.

Kick off 18:00 BST at Gemeentalijk Sportstadion, Zaventem, Belgium
International Challenge Trophy
Belgium - Naudts 38'
England - Spencer 14'(pen) Gray 76'
Andre Gray was the match-winner as Paul Fairclough's England C Team beat Belgium in Zaventum on Wednesday night. The Luton Town striker popped up with 14 minutes left to snatch the win for the Three Lions, who needed victory to keep alives any hopes of reaching the semi-finals of the International Challenge Trophy. Hyde hitman Scott Spencer had earlier given England the lead, but they were pegged back just before half-time when Arne Naudts levelled matters. But Fairclough's side pulled off a great victory in their final Group A fixture to give themselves an excellent chance the last-four of the competition. Arriving in Belgium, England knew that only a victory would suffice, so set about their task in convincing style pinning the Red Devils back in their own half. They had an good opportunity on three minutes when Josh Gillies broke down the right and crossed for Stephen Brogan. He fired over from the edge of the box. The early pressure finally paid off, though, when England took the lead from the penalty spot. Gillies, who was having a promising start on his debut, again found space on the right and his centre picked out James Vincent. But a Belgian defender to hauled him to the ground giving the Austrian referee an easy decision. Spencer coolly slotted home. This appeared to be a wake-up call for the home side who began to push forward in search of an equalising goal and they soon had Preston Edwards in the England goal stretching to reach a curling free-kick. The home side were impressive when in possession but on 35 minutes a misplaced pass by Sanusi went straight to Gillies on the edge of his own 18 yard box. The Gateshead front-man broke impressively before freeing Spencer who curled a shot from 20 yards just over the bar. This proved costly as moments later Belgium were on terms in fortuitous circumstances. A free kick from fully 25 yards by Naudts took a wicked deflection off Eddie Oshodi and left Edwards totally stranded. A nasty looking injury to Keiron Forbes after 41 minutes led to a nine-minute hold-up as the England medical team and paramedics worked on what looked like a serious neck injury before he was stabilised and taken to hospital. Adam Watkins replaced Forbes and half time arrived with the game evenly balanced. The visitors began the second half in a similar fashion to the first, pushing forward looking for that decisive second goal. Andre Gray, who replaced Brogan at half time, was impressive with his strong running and was linking up well with Spencer up front. On 67 minutes it was the Luton forward who broke powerfully into the box and squared the ball to Vincent who shot wide when well placed. Belgium were also playing their part in what was an entertaining game with both Carigioni and De Belder going close. England finally made the breakthrough that their play deserved on 76 minutes when Gray took a clever knock-on from Spencer and made his way into the box. Drawing out the Belgian keeper Defourny, he slotted home for what proved to be the winner. Despite some late home pressure Fairclough's Lions remained composed to see the game out. The win puts the side with a foot in the semi finals but their remains an agonising wait until Russia visit Italy in November. If the Italians were to pull off a shock win then they would pip England to claim the knock-out berth. England C Team Edwards (Ebbsfleet Utd), Turley (Forest Green Rovers), Thomas (Grimsby Town), Oshodi (Forest Green Rovers), Forbes (Forest Green Rovers) (Watkins (Luton Town) 45), Ainge (Guiseley), Gilles (Gateshead) (Taylor (Luton Town) 90) Vincent (Kidderminster Harriers), Spencer (Hyde) (Wilson (Guiseley) 87), Brogan (Guiseley) (Gray (Luton Town) 46 ), Meikle (Mansfield Town) Sub Not Used Ormson (Stockport County) Goals: England - Scott Spencer 14 (pen), Andre Gray 76; Belgium - Arne Naudts 38 England C's next fixture is a friendly against Albania in Durres on Tuesday 16 October

It was the Monday doggy night and many dogs showed up. They only dine in the backyard. Small french bistro style tables. Food was flavourful but a little off for the entree. Onion soup and chicken liver pate served on toasts were delicious. Duck leg was not crispy (may be the sauce was poured directly on it) and pork chop had some dry spots (~20%). Both entrees were a bit oily for me but it could be just the style. Wine list was OK and many wine offered in carafe (about 400-500ml) and prices were in reasonable city range. Will go back and recommend to friends.
This is a great little french restaurant. The food was good, but maybe a little expensive for what you get. Expect to spend $50+ on a dinner for two without drinks. What makes it great though is the ambiance and staff. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a romantic dinner for two. I haven't tried their brunch yet, and I hear that that is where Zazie really shines.
The Mimosa "Bourgogne" was outstanding - champagne with white peach sorbet and black currant! The fettucine with prawns was also excellent with bits of fresh asparagus. Overall, it was an excellent experience and we will definitely come again and also tell all of our friends.
This was our first visit and certanly not our last. We were greeted by the waitstaff that was happy to see us. The staff treats you really well. You can tell they love what they do. The food was really good. Our entrees came out a little faster than I anticipated. We were enjoying drinks to begin with. We skipped the appetizers. I would reccomend this place to any food lover that loves a great ambience while dining.
I loved it, yet every thing had salad. I had a thought for a moment that my dessert would come with salad
Zazie's has a great vibe and it's in a lovely neighborhood but, most importantly, the food is delicious. Fresh, well prepared and presented with fine French flair. The service is always prompt and friendly too. Thank you for good eats! Wish we had a Zazie in our little town.
It was wonderful, as always! I recently had family in from all over the country for my graduation-- and every single person enjoyed our dinner out at Zazie.
I recently went here for my birthday dinner. Fortunately for me and my crew, the weather was beautiful and the back patio was amazing. This place is so quaint and cute, and the food is delicious. The trout is consistently delicious, the cheese plate, the chicken, the pate, so many things, not enough room to eat them all! I loved it! This place is great for a romantic dinner but also good for a small group. I highly recommend it!
I live a few blocks from Zazie so frequent it very often, but it is also worth a drive. Never disappointed. The food, service, and place is awesome!
I've been going to Zazie's for many years and have always found it consistently good with excellent service and atmosphere. The lamb and the trout are superb!
Been coming for years. We chose to eat in courses, paired with wine, shared by the table. Didn't feel rushed. Lovely out door area with heaters.
Back patio was great with the heat lamps in the chilly SF summer. Fresh pasta w/ squash & poppy seeds was super unique and delicious. Great service and nice atmosphere all around.
I love this place - I travel to the south of France and I am very fond of the food you might find in Nice, or Cannes...Zazie's is fabulous! Hand made, wonderful flavors with a rustic, casual feel. I return often!
We went with a couple of vegetarian friends, who were very satisfied with what they got. My poulet francais was excellent. Amazing what comes out of that tiny kitchen. The patio in the back is very inviting. The tiny bathroom is awkwardly located right next to the kitchen.
We loved it and wish we were closer. If we lived in the city, we'd be regulars! The food was excellent, our server delightful " check please Bay Area" was right on
Went there for the first time and liked it. Staff was courteous and helpful. Instead of a main for dinner, we just ordered four appetizers which ended up being too much food for the two of us so we took one home.
I have found brunch and dinner to be the best meals at Zazie. Lunch is a little underwhelming and there are competitive local spots that have more variety and more interesting lunch fare. Their dinner selection is nice. It's a cosy place where you can hear yourself talk, which is a bonus!
French Bistro atmosphere, terrific food, wonderful servers, and lovely outdoor garden option make this a gem. It is wonderful.. too bad there is no frequent flyer program or we would be platinum members!!
We had great service and loved Tuesday night no corkage night. I had the pork chop and it was okay not a lot of flavor (I wouldn't get it again), but my mom had the lamb and it was great with lots of flavor and very tender! I wish the menu would change more often, but still love it. Our dessert was good (chocolate) but the marshmellows were a little much. It was really rich and I'm glad that I got the gelto on the side.
Just dig this spot as our favorite family easy spot with cool, casual atmosphere, friendly folks, and reliably great and standard cali-french food
Every time I go to Zazie I have a great time. My husband and I decided to go there this week for our anniversary. As usual, it did not disappoint. As usual, I left feeling full & happy. The staff is so nice, and although I've never been for brunch, I hear it's amazing. See you soon, Zazie!
We've been here twice. Once for breakfast and once for dinner. Zazie's is one of those little gems that defines what a charming and romantic neighborhood should be. The food is excellent, the service is superb, and the ambiance wonderful! We can't wait to visit again.
Never disappoints as a charming neighbourhood go-to restaurant. Authentically French bistro atmosphere. Servers tend to be long term and very good.
This is a wonderful go-to neighborhood restaurant. I love the staff and the setting. A few of the tables are too close to the entrance, but that is my only constructive feedback. Everything else is lovely-- the food, the staff, the setting, and even the noise level! We have a standing dinner here every few months, and it is just right.
Zazie is a hidden gem in file valley. You don't even see it right away but inside is an intimate setting eclectic bistro style with the best server we ever had. She was outstanding and do much fun. Her service along with delicious food made our trip to zazie memorable. Very delightful!
Zazie's is a haunt and a neighborhood treasure. The staff are welcoming and the food is very good.
Never disappoints, one of my favorite restaurants. The food and service is always amazing. A must go to for anyone considering it.
Delicious bistro food -- always fresh and made with great care. Plus a staff that genuinely cares about the place and customers.
This is a wonderful neighborhood gem in Cole Valley. There are two sidewalk tables in front of the restaurant, some great tables in the front windows, and also a lovely landscaped patio in the back, so lots of attractive seating options. Really wonderful ambience and service, with good food too.
Sat in the outdoor patio & had a very pleasant evening.
I liked this place a lot. An extensive menu for such a small place, reminiscent of the fabulous little neighborhood restaurants when I lived in Paris 45 years ago. Everything fresh, well balanced and seasoned just right, with a few innovative touches that could be called California French fusion cuisine. An attentive friendly and informed staff, a noise level that made it easy to talk and hear what everyone at your table is saying...a blessing! You will never have a bad meal here and, in fact, can expect a very good one.
took a night off from visiting a friend @ UCSF Medical Center. What a pleasant interlude. The staff were beyond reproach. They were not only welcoming and friendly but candid and willing to provide the answers to any questions we had while making us feel like local friends. All of the food and the wine were scrumptious.....(even if we didn't have our Great Dane with us qualifying us for a $10 discount). We had great fellowship with other dogs and their owners. Can't wait for an excuse to come back.
Zazie is adorable and has excellent food too! They are cooking up delicious and homey meals and you feel like you're stepping into a cute little bistro in France. I know this place is always slammed for brunch, but I say try out the dinners. Also, they will do a vegan dish if you're interested.
We came here for dinner and had a great time. We were seated early with our reservations which was a bonus since the restaurant looked booked and busy. Zazie has a casual ambiance and really good food. We enjoyed our appetizer sampler that included mussels, warm arugula with chèvre, and page. The portions were generous. For entrees we had the coq au vin and steak. Both were really tasty and right on the mark as far as flavor and seasoning. I ordered a double shot of espresso for desser and it looked like a bowl of coffee. This wasn't what I expected and will not order espresso next time but the pear crumble was awesome even without the ice cream.
the overall ambience was wonderful. service was incredible. however, food was more 'home-cooked', perhaps fair for the price you pay for. The platter was great, big serving of the pate. the mussels were delicious, but found some empty shells. Duck was amazing, but the trout had multiple bones, the vegetarian pasta needed seasoning. For the dessert, crumble was nice, the marshmallow chocolate pudding sounds amazing, but it was a little burnt, overall it needed something to make it moist. staffs were wonderful, friendly and giving helpful opinions when we were placing orders. the outdoor area is probably the best in the city. there was plenty of space between tables, and it was warm with the heaters on. great place for outdoor dining.
Food was great! This is a nice place for a couple or small group to enjoy French food at a reasonable price.
Living in Cole Valley, Zazie is one of our favorites (we go there at least once per month or more). Nice food, friendly service and reasonable prices. One of the few restaurants where the staff is the same as the owners treat them nicely.
Went there for a first date, and had a great time. It was easy to get a reservation, and we were seated right away. We got the patio table that we requested, which was perfect because the area was lush with beautiful flowering vines and strings of lights. The server was prompt, polite and friendly. He knew the menu well and made suggestions for us. The food was DELICIOUS. The wine was good. The only drawback was that our neighbors' table was much too close to ours. It was difficult to have a first date without much privacy. And when those of us seated on the bench needed to get up to use the loo, our legs barely fit between the tables. Otherwise, it was a really nice experience.
I ate at Zazie twice this past week! Once with a girl friend on Wed (enjoyed it so much, booked again on Friday). Since the weather was so nice this past week, I decided to book a dinner on the Patio for my boyfriend and I for date night just a few nights later. Although it cooled down, the patio has heat lamps and is somewhat protected so we were still able to enjoy a really nice meal and stay toasty warm. One of my two favorite patio dining spots in the city. And for those really cold nights where it's not warm enough, the inside is very cozy and charming as well. The food is consistently good, as is the service and wine list. Great for brunch/lunch also. I look forward to going back soon!
Some of the best french food you'll find in San Francisco. Everything on the menu is good, you can close your eyes and point and wind up with a fantastic meal. Great wine list too. This is our go-to restaurant for a special occasion or a romantic night. Highly recommended.
We live about an hour away but still make the effort to come here a couple times a year. We had my husband's birthday dinner here on Sunday and it was perfect as always. Our waiter confessed up front that it was his third day on the job and had to run back and ask a few menu questions but he did a great job. While all the food was outstanding, as always, the beef bourguignon was the hands-down favorite. The ambiance, cozy and warm. One of these days we'll get there on a summer evening so we can really enjoy the back garden. I would highly recommend this place for a casual meal or a special occasion. It's our go-to birthday dinner place.
We so enjoyed our maiden voyage to Zazie. Will definitely be back. Good and service were lovely!
Despite having two wild kids in our group, the staff was extremely patient and helpful with our overly active children and mess! 5 stars for an amazing staff/service and unusual kindness not common in most restaurants. The food was also quite delicious. I ordered the cheese appetizer and duck entre. My sister's beet salad was yum. Overall I would highly recommend this restaurant!
Once again, enjoyed a relaxing early evening dinner on Zazie's back deck. The Boeuf Bourguignon was flavorful and filling. French comfort food. Nice it's close to Golden Gate Park, so convenient after a "museum day" at the De Young.
Coming from the East Coast, we were delighted by monday night's dog-fest on the patio. What a terrific idea! We haven't ever seen this done in our Maryland community. The food and service were excellent. We also commend Zazie's for providing health and dental benefits for employees through a surcharge. What a great idea.
Dining experience was great. But if you don't live nearby, be sure to give yourself time to look for parking! It was the pits!! Took me 40 minutes to find a space! We went for dinner. I had the fish soup provencal and it was full of mussels, fish and flavor. Very satisfying. the waiter recommended the ravioli with truffle which my friend had and she thoroughly enjoyed the earthiness of the dish. Dessert...gotta have the hot chocolate!!
Went here for Sunday dinner with the family. Warm, unpretentious atmosphere, wonderful food (never knew mashed yams could taste so divine) and a very sweet waitress. If you're looking for a cozy place with great food check out Zazie.
We went to Zazie's to celebrate our son's birthday. We had been to the restaurant before and enjoyed our experience. Diane was our server and she was outstanding! She made the dinner very much of a celebration. Great personality and great server. What an asset to your delicious food! Thank you!
Tuesday is no corkage to allow you to bring your favorites to pair. The fixed price menu is a great value and all the Zazie classics are available as well. The vibe is warm and inviting, its such a wondrful neighborhood gem. Enjoy.
Wonderful food, neighborhood gem, but I'm glad I found it--having come all the way from San Jose. Very convenient to the Golden Gate park and museum area.

Has any one here used them before? How did they work out?
Has any one here used them before? How did they work out?
Call them and talk to their technical guy...he should be able to give you some references of folks that have used their paints. I talked to him about their "marine alkyd enamels" and I plan to try a gallon the next time I need some semi-gloss paint. Per there tech guy they have been in business since 1949 making Marine paints.

Do you know if they will custom tint paints? Any thing known about their varnish? Prices?
Yes they custom tint paints... and it sounds like they have a solid product in an exterior alkyd enamel.... $23/gal I think. I don't know about their varnishes... I would think you would want to go with a major player in varnish...

(With thanks to Tony Bennett, who sang at the 2009 Macworld Expo to conclude the final Apple keynote address.)
This week's Macworld|iWorld Expo was my tenth one, all of them for MyMac. I got a real stinker of a cold at the end of day one, Thursday, that put me on the disabled list for the duration of the 2012 conference. Nemo not happy.
Our other attending staff covered my appointments. Super thanks to them.
I was a solo act for most days of the first few years at previous Macworld January events. I ran around the enormous showroom floors in Moscone's South and North halls like a maniac, then dashed back to the press room to submit my articles and photos. Later, after dinner with San Francisco relatives, I would stay up late planning the next day's version of what I had just done.
Using the first-in-last-out method, I was the earliest early bird and the latest night owl in the bowels of Moscone press room every morning and night.

Don't get me wrong!! I see lots of families and their kids having lots of fun!! But kids have fun with almost anything and the parents are happy their kids are having fun!! But it's not what you would expect!!
Don't get me wrong!! I see lots of families and their kids having lots of fun!! But kids have fun with almost anything and the parents are happy their kids are having fun!! But it's not what you would expect!!
The kids enjoyed the visit to this place but it' just average if you compare it to other aquariums. As a matter of fact, I can't really remember anything that really stood out during this visit. Or was it maybe the gemstone shop you need to go through before you can reach the exit.....
For all the hype ... we were very disappointed with the whole display. Not to mention the ticket prices which certainly did not justify!!
Good for kids, this shows a big collection of different fish types. If a photography freak, make sure the settings are good to capture for aquarium as flash is not allowed. There's a shopping center inside but I didn't find any place specific souvenier and other items were relatively costly for Langkawi perspective. You can get yourself photographed and get... More
Absolutely worth seeing. Lots of very interesting fish, even pinquins(?!) and a beautiful garden with monkeys and birds.
This place has a pretty decent collection of Fish, Penguins and other Aquatic creatures.Though not comparable to the Sentosa Under Water World, this place is enjoyable for a one time visit.
This waterworld was the most sad and depressing thing I've ever seen. Built in a massive industrial hall the place had almost nothing similar to the underwater world those things originally live in. It made me really really sad to visit that place! :(
we a family of 11 members visited underwater world , Langkawi, its really really worth going there. Everyone will love to be there. The most important part is how the are maintaining the huge area perfectly. There are lots of things to see, Flamingo, penguins shark, ray fish, apple fish, fountain, different type of fish.. etc,,,, Children will love it... More
Newly improved attraction. Been here twice, last time was somewhere in 1997. The babies love the seals. Very animated and kept swimming back and fo.
The tickets are too expensive. The children are not enjoying it as much as we thought they would. If you've been to Aquaria, then don't bother going to this one. You've seen one, you've seen them all.

Comments about Red Poinsettia:
My Aunt loved the Red Pointsettia plant! She said it was overflowing with flowers. Pointsettias are her favorite and just what she needed to cheer her up after her surgery.

A lovely fresh plant.
Beautiful Christmas Memories
By: Jack
From: Tijeras, NM
The poinsettia plant was beautiful, very symmetric and perfect for the Season. Upon checking the dimensions, we found that it was the same size as quoted in the online catalog. This is always a concern when one orders a floral product online or over the phone to be delivered at a later time to a different location. Especially important was that it was to be delivered just before Christmas and though it was a frigid day, the plant was in excellent shape with no frost-bitten leaves and no overall damage.
Way better than I expected
By: Fer
From: Orange Park, FL
I really thought this was an over-priced poinsettia, but was willing to go ahead and buy it. How wrong I was! It's big, colorful, and certainly well worth the price. The florist did a great job, as it ended up looking better than on the picture in the site. It even came with a nice pot!

Release Date: July 20, 2007
MORGANTOWN, WV — A research program funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is making significant progress in developing new ways to treat and use water coproduced with oil and natural gas. The ultimate benefit is a two-for-one solution that expects to boost domestic energy supplies while enhancing the Nation's water supply.
Coproduced water—some of which occurs naturally in subsurface formations, and some that is recovered following injection of water into an oil or gas reservoir to boost production—accounts for 98 percent of all waste generated by U.S. oil and natural gas operations. Produced-water volumes average nine barrels for each barrel of oil produced. Handling, treating, and safely disposing of this produced water has been a tough, costly challenge for oil and natural gas producers for decades. Much of the produced water has high concentrations of minerals or salts that make it unsuitable for beneficial use or surface discharge. An oilfield operator often must reinject such produced water into deep formations, sometimes resorting to costly trucking of the water to deep-injection well sites specially designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
More recently, concerns over produced water have threatened to cripple expansion of the Nation's fastest-growing new source of natural gas supply: coalbed natural gas (CBNG). Much of the water produced in the process of recovering CBNG from coalbeds can be treated and used for crop irrigation, livestock watering, and industrial purposes. But the costs are high. Especially large volumes of produced water are generated in association with CBNG development in the Western states; there is tremendous appeal in turning wastewater from oil and gas operations into a useful product, especially in this arid region where drought is a chronic threat.
DOE's produced-water research program, which is managed by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) as part of its Environmental Solutions program, focuses on cost-effective solutions for treating produced water for beneficial uses and limiting production of oil and gas field produced water. The program also assesses and communicates to industry "best management practices" among oil and gas producers coping with this challenge. Three projects under the produced-water program have recently logged key milestones:
These are only three of the nearly three dozen NETL-managed projects for developing new technologies to increase the beneficial use of produced water, ultimately allowing oil and gas producers to turn a costly waste product into a valuable resource. The upshot: America will see significant gains in the availability of two of her most important resources: energy and water.

Wardrobe Malfunction
A couple weeks ago, I was in Liverpool, enjoying the festival of peach nylon and mahogany sprayed flesh that was Ladies Day at Aintree.
Thousands of girls in Primani's finest and 5 inch heels had turned out for the race. 1 mile from the course some enterprising young scally had decided to capitalise on their inability to walk and was selling rattan sandals for a quid, which I though was a bit premature as he probably could have tripled his price for the return leg. Still at least he wasn't out nicking cables from railway lines.
Anyway, amongst all the push up bra's and 2 inch thick foundation it was me that suffered a wardrobe malfunction most horrid. The moose knuckle. The male camel toe. Call it what you will as long as one of the adjectives is embarrassing and you don't google it with safe search off.
Yes without realising it, it appeared as though I'd brought meat and 2 veg to the races and there was nothing I could do about it, except grin and bear it and be thankful that my usual uniform of stripey shirt, shoes, jacket and a pair of jeans doesn't ever cause this problem. Thanks Jenny for making such a big thing (sic) of it.
Also this week we had our inaugural Mad Men Day, whistles, shirt and tie day at work. Which saw the entire agency turn out in their Sunday best. The difference was striking, and for once I could imagine what it might be like to set up an agency in the centre of Milan – well if you squint your eyes and forget about Jarvo.
Anyway let's move on, in light of these episodes, today I wanted to talk about Media Office dress code. Walk into Hawksmore London and you can instantly tell the media people from the real people, let me tell you why – and unusually I thought we could do it in the style of a game…
Let's play Guess Who?…
Have they got…white converse, baggy jeans and a cap = digital planner buyer
Have they got…ridiculously thick framed glasses = Creative
Have they got…vertical Stripey shirt, jeans and brown shoes = press media buyer
Have they got…horizontal Stripey Polo = Hobbo
Have they got…full suit along with blue tie = JCdecaux
Have they got…tiny skirt, an iPad and lots of make-up = digital sales rep
Have they got…tits and teeth = magazine sales rep (see previous blog post)
Media is weird really – in the spirit of community I know quite a lot of the fella's on my street who leave for work suited and booted each day, I'd say 9 out of 10 in fact. Why is media so casual – I would go as far as to say that on Tuesday the agency was 5% more productive due to the straight creases , business dresses and skinny ties – this can only be a good thing. I am thinking about introducing a full uniform to the7stars in an Asda style.
So am thinking – Polo shirts with embroidered 7stars logo, nylon black trousers, and a blue and grey hoody. I even think we should have name badges resplendent with our names and Happy to Help. I'll let you know how I get on.

"I Won"
Perhaps the Left will finally realize that ´O´ likes to give them the middle finger too. From what I hear there is as much opposition on the Left to Hagel´s appointment as there is on the Right.
As if we needed more proof of Obama´s hatred of Israel. I hope Republican Senators do a proper job of roasting this bird before the inevitable confirmation.
he will appoint him by executive order....illegal? who cares the constitution is for American born elected officials.
Why? There are really good people who could do a far superior job and don´t drag the baggage. Does Obama ever put any thought into who could do a good job, rather than rewarding his cronies or sticking fingers in someone´s eye? That was a rhetorical question.
What´s good for the Bork should be good for the Borkers.If we can´t raise the votes we can still raise hell.Paging Mr. Trey Gowdy..........
There´s a vile strategy going on here. Hagel is meaningless to Obama. In the past, even recent past (2-5 years) all of the top Republicans are on record with praise for Hagel. It´s the normal DC bs praise. McCain even said there´d be room for Hagel in his cabinet. Obama nominates Hagel, GOP pounces, Obama orchestrates a media campaign showing what hypocrites and haters Senate Republicans are using their own statements against them.
Chuck Hagel...perfect for the Obama administration. Creep.
Did anyone think Barack wouldn`t nominate Hagel? After his name was dropped as a trial balloon, there was opposition on both sides. Obama doesn`t care what anyone thinks. He probably welcomes the public anger. It`s a badge of honor for him. Even if the senate rejects Hagel - which they won`t - Obama will put him in that position anyway. He just won`t have the title.
Just as bad as Penetta.
Will have great fun pointing out to my fellow Blacks that Zero refused to go to the mat for Susan Rice for State but apparently is willing to do so for a former Republican Senator...former Clinton Admin appointee Rice was called an ingrate and enemy by Hillary´s camp in 2008 because she supported Zero early in the primary...
Bagel is much worse than Panetta. Panetta had experience in management (CIA for one). From all I have read a major complaint about Hagel is that he has none. The Pentagon is a huge responsibility for a novice to try to oversee.Reports also have stated while he served as Senator he had little interest in the military.
First Kerry & now Hagel. ...The, ´´revenge,´´ President strikes AGAIN!!!
elections have consequences. President zero will rub everyone´s nose in it by selecting hagel. That´s what happens when a man with a narcissistic personality disorder, with shades of passive aggressiveness thrown in, does.He is finally acting on those unarticulated, festering, racial injustices he imagined that he suffered.
70% of voting Jews don´t care, why should I?I have reached my tipping point.
Hey Jeremy, 0bama can only nominate a defense secretary. read the Constitution, if it still matters to you.
Nominated, the word is NOMINATED.
I would be in favor of a Defense Secretary, other things being equal, whose motto is" Kill The Enemy." There doesn´t seem to be a lot of that going on.

The forecast was cloudy at 67 degrees but WABC-TV weatherman Bill Evans brought a bit of celebrity sunshine to kids in Secaucus on May 16. Fifth and sixth graders in the school district gathered at Huber Street Elementary Schools for an assembly to hear Evans speak. A senior meteorologist for Eyewitness News, Evans has been talking to school kids about his work and the weather for 35 years.
Evans talked about meteorology, his experiences as a weatherman, and the various types of careers available in his field. He also promoted his latest children's book, "It's Raining Fish and Spiders," which came out on May 22.
"You are our future meteorologists." – Bill Evans
Real world lessons
"I wanted to be a meteorologist when I was your age," said Evans. Evans began his broadcasting career at the age of 13 in his hometown of Meridian, Miss. on WDAL Radio and WTOK-TV.
He told the students that he pursued meteorology because he wanted to help people after living through a hurricane at the age of nine.
"Our town was destroyed by a hurricane in 1969," said Evans. "That incident in my life made me want to be a meteorologist and help people." He chose a different path from his father, grandfather, and great grandfather who had all been in the clergy.
"I just didn't see myself as being a minister," said Evans.
"I help you get dressed for school. I let you know if there is going to be a snow day," said Evans. "I help you protect yourself from the weather and tell you if there is going to be lightning or a hurricane."
Exploring the world of meteorology
"Lightning is the size of your pencil," said Evans. "Even though it has a billion volts of energy in it, it is still very small, bright, and brilliant."
Evans also showed a number of images of his own experiences and the far-flung places he has been to do the weather. He showed images from the eye of a hurricane, scuba diving, and out west chasing tornadoes. He often does weather on-location all over the Tri-state area, Florida, and the Caribbean.
Evans showed images of meteorologists on naval ships, on a financial trading floor, in airplanes, and in the pursuit of tornadoes.
"There are more things to do career-wise in weather as meteorologists than you might think," said Evans. He said more meteorologists are needed, especially women, since men dominate the field.
"You are our future meteorologists," said Evans. "If you like weather, that is the road to take."
Meteorologists in the making
Some girls at the assembly may just help shift the balance in the field of meteorology. As part of an accelerated learning program referred to as Elinc, or "Educating Learners in the Next Century," students explored the world of meteorology and learned about clouds, hurricanes, tornados, and how the weather works.
"It is kind of interesting to become a meteorologist because we can over time…learn how to predict different weather," said eleven-year old Nisha Patel, who said she may pursue the field.
"Cumulonimbus clouds, the big puffy clouds that are high up," said Patel about a topic she enjoyed learning about.
Eleven-year-old Christina Morano, who wants to be a newscaster, was excited about the Evans visit.
"I'm a big fan of news. I watch it all the time," said eleven-year-old Christina Morano. She gave a number of reasons why watching the weather helps her including being prepared to face the day.
"It is good to know the weather for safety reasons."
"I think it is interesting how he has learned over many years to predict weather," said fifth grader Jack Hayes about Evans.
"If I see clouds, I feel happy to know what kind of clouds I know they are," said Lee.
"I wanted students to know what it is like in the life of a meteorologist from someone in the real world," said educator Allan Bonin. Bonin, an educator of 11 years, teaches the Elinc accelerated learning classes to fifth and sixth graders at Huber Street Elementary School. Bonin had emailed and called WABC since November to get Evans to visit the school district.

USAF / USA / USN / USMC Vision
#21 Guest_clemon220_*
Posted 06 December 2006 - 04:35 PM
It seems my vision is roughly 20/20 now, one month out and with the cyclo drops in. This would be cause for celebration, except it still seems to fade in and out at this point. Wondering when (if ever) it will stabilize. My optometrist says they still might be changing a bit, but she's only ever dealt with 1 other prk patient before in her life (not the same doc. that performed the surgery).
Here's the disturbing news. after the drops went in, and we ran all the tests, she told me:
her: "congrats; you're 20/20. However, you now appear to be a little far-sighted."
me: Wait a second, before the surgery, didn't I just have asitgmatism and near-sightedness?
her: "yes, but it seems you may have been overcorrected a bit. Nothing to worry about; you are what we would call 'marginally hyperopic."
me: what's that mean in a prescription?
her: "oh, well, it ends up being only like a +.75... It may even correct itself over time, as it's possible your eyes are still healing."
OK, at this point, bells, whistles, and warning lights began flashing in my head. So I came here to see what information I could get before I proceed any further.
My understanding is that... in order to qualify for ANY rated slot (FC1, 1A, 2, 3, etc.) I could have ZERO hyperopia. Am I wrong here? Is that ZERO number the prereq. for the surgery only? Someone throw me a life raft here, b/c if I just forked over a ton of money and had a great doc. (he really is one of the top surgeons in the field) who somehow overshot the mark and now earned me a DQ, I need to start taking some action, or at least looking at my options.
The other side of it is this. Let's say I can't be hyperopic at all... Is that when I get to Brooks, or at ANY point of the post-op recovery. In other words, let's say my doc. is right and my eyes are still changing, and the hyperopia goes away over the next few months. If it's on the sheet at month 1, is that a DQ? Moreover, one of the requirements is that I don't have a change in vision by more the -.50 during my recovery. If it changes from +.75 to a 0, am I really gonna get DQ's for that?
I'm getting a bit nervous here, and I'm going to go to the optometrist tomorrow to get an official copy of the numbers, but if anyone can clue me in here before that, let me know... please!

Let me answer your post from 2 directions personal and professional.
I had PRK in 2002, now I am considerably older than you so I was told going in that my perfect near vision would be gone and replaced with perfect distant vision ( I have to now wear reading glasses) The juice was worth the squeeze for me since I had worn glasses for my distant vision most of my life. As I recall, what you are experiencing is the normal healing process and things should get better with each visit to your doc.
From the professional aspect, what you have posted is no cause for alarm at this point for several reasons:
1. It's too early post-op
2. After your 3 month visit, you can begin/complete your IFC 1 (a considerable amount of healing should have taken place by then).
3. 1 year post-op you can get your MFS (most, if not all healing should be complete by then)
4. If your near vision has changed and now you have 20/30 or better uncorrected near vision that is correctable to 20/20 you won't need a waiver for it.
So hang in there, be careful with your new eyes, get all of your required follow-ups, and then let the chips fall where they fall.
Good luck

If you could expand on this 3 month date, please do. My recruiter has not been entirely useful (as I've stated before) on the grounds that he is/was convinced that my vision already eliminated me from any slots other than FCIII.Originally posted by P27:17:
2. After your 3 month visit, you can begin/complete your IFC 1 (a considerable amount of healing should have taken place by then).
Good luck
I was of the impression that I could apply for the waiver once my 12 month eval. had completed. If you don't have the time to answer this post, don't worry about it (I'm sure it's complicated). I'm lucky enough to have a very dedicated contact with a Col. at an ROTC Det. that has already jumped through hoops to help me wherever my recruiter may fail. Nevertheless, knowledge is power.
Therefore, more knowledge makes me more powerful...
or something like that.
#24 Guest_P27:17_*
Posted 18 January 2007 - 09:29 AM
You can get your IFC 1 exam done (anywhere other than Brooks)3 months post-op PRK. It will go through the normal waiver process and once stamped it will say something to the effect "Qualified with waiver for PRK, pending MFS eval". This means you cleared on your IFC 1 but need to go through MFS 1 year post-op at Brooks prior to UPT.
Hope this helps.

Posted 09 January 2007 - 08:19 PM
As for a glimpse...
- pre-op vision test will be on the order of: if the doc holds up a finger, asks how many, and you guess either one or two, you will qualify for corrective surgery
- if you've had or want to have vision corrective surgery and are seeing or are correctable to 20/20, you will be in the game

I was DQ'd from USAFA's PRK program in 2004 for excessive pupil diameter. Pupils were 8.7 and 9 mm when dilated. My refractive error is now -3.75 and -4.00 in each eye. I applied for an ETP and was shot down by the Vice Chief after graduation in May '06. I'm now in Nav training on a waiver for my eyes. What would the new standards mean for my gettin surgery, particulary would it affect pupil diameter at all? If I could get surgery, could I then re-apply to UPT in the future. Thank for your info, your expertise is priceless in this forum.
#30 Guest_rtstolwo_*
Posted 23 January 2007 - 01:35 AM
When you answer SBKJr's question will you elaborate on the pupil size restrictions for me. Im sure it has to do with possible post-op halo but I was unaware there was a numerical restriction. I worry because the doc that just did my surgery made a passing comment about me having large pupils. Is the restriction just for those that are to have the PRK done by air force docs as a preventative measure or can a civvie be DQd from going the OTS route for having too large pupils? I've searched but found no specific policy from Google or an educated answer to this question from Baseops.
#31 Guest_P27:17_*
Posted 23 January 2007 - 09:52 AM
You DO have large pupils...there is no standard that disqualifies you based on the size of the pupils. What the USAFA surgeon basically said is you aren't a good candidate for PRK because of the size of your pupils and the likelihood of night vision problems/halo issues post-op. You could go out and "Doc Shop" until you find a PRK surgeon who will do the surgery but be very cautious...if you are found DQ, it will be the results of the surgery that DQ you...not the pupil size.
Also, as a Nav in training you can't get PRK...once you are done and if you decide to get it you'll have to go through the Aviation CRS Program.
Good luck
I hope this clears up your question about pupil size...a passing comment is better than "we won't do your surgery because your pupils are too big"...

Rage would know the specifics much better that I on the content of changes coming down the pike.
I suspect though, any changes to the color vision standards would tend to be MORE stringent not less...
Here is what one of the specialists I work with have to say about your question...
"When first FDA approved, lasers could only deliver a 5.0 mm ablation zone. Consequently, anyone with a pupil much larger than that was at risk for night problems. Gradually we have expanded ablation zones to 8.0 mm today (there may be some lasers that offer larger zones, but that's where Wilford Hall Medical Center (WHMC) is at with the VISX S4 system). So we still get uncomfortable treating people with pupils much larger than 8.0. I'm sure we will eventually have lasers with larger ablation zones, however, there isn't that much motivation to go beyond 8.0 as very few people have pupils larger than 8.0.
I saw someone note that civilian centers have lasers with ablation zones of somthing like 10.0 mm. As far as I know that's not true."
Hope it helps...good luck.

The 20/50 cut-off is for the PPQ (Potential Pilot Qualification)...20/70 is the max (before needing a waiver) for the AF.

"How come some sources say that the visual acuity requirements for a pilot in the AF is 20/70, and some others such as the AFROTC website say that it is 20/50?"

I have a question. I wear a weak pair of glasses (brings me to 20/20, my distance is slightly worse than 20/30 and my near is 20/20, uncorrected) and have seen the eye doctor routinely for basic check ups and whatnot. Beyond my vision, there's a lot of numbers and terms along that requirements list I don't recognize. Is being outside the margin's on those noticable? Anything I could look for in my eyesight to be able to tell if I have any of that?

If I understand your question correctly, the other numbers have to do with your refraction.
Your glasses have a manifest or by lens refraction. The refraction we use to determine if you meet the standards is called a cycloplegic refraction (dilation of the eyes). The standards have been posted by Rage many times. If your uncorrected distant vision is 20/70 or better and corrects to 20/20 or better you won't need a waiver unless your cycloplegic refraction exceeds the standards (the other numbers you were asking about).
Let me know if this clears the mud...

Alright. I think I might know. It's the part of the eye exam when they go through the series of different lenses in their chair attachment and say "Better, or worse? 1 or 2?"
I have no idea what mine is, though. I don't think the doc has ever mentioned it or anything. I can only hope by not mentioning it, it's relatively normal.

"Our father and grandfather have been in the wholesale and retail produce business, and that type of store was a natural for us," Isaac Nava says, referring to the market and deli he opened with his brother Moishe in 2010. The third establishment to bear the Nava name, it supplies first and second spots—both homestyle Mexican restaurants—with fresh fruits and veggies, meat, and dairy products. Customers will also find plenty of household goods lining the grocery store's aisles. And at the deli counter, a sprawling menu details sandwiches made with salami, roast beef, and turkey, as well as wraps, salads, and freshly blended smoothies that constantly battle with daily soups over the control of cups, bowls, and curved hands.
Growing up, Barron Perl and his six brothers spent a lot of time helping out with their family's sausage manufacturing company. Barron expanded the Perls' meat-making legacy years later when he opened Deli Direct, a gourmet food distributor specializing in smoked meat and natural Wisconsin cheese. In addition to handcrafted sausages and blocks of cheese, the store also specializes in tangy mustards, gluten-free party dips, and tasty horseradish products—including spicy pickles by the gallon. For the perfect gift, the staff assembles wicker baskets that overflow with edible treats, and you can assemble your own smorgasbord at Deli Direct's outlet store.
Diamond Fresh Seafood Market & Cafe is a gathering place for fresh-caught seafood from the far reaches of the world's oceans. As daily hauls of imported and domestically snagged premium seafood arrive, the knowledgeable staff doles out creative café-style meals that include shrimp alfredo and hearty salmon burgers. Customers who prefer to cart home their catches pick up home cooking tips at cooking demonstrations by pro seafood chef Carol Mackey, who reveals the culinary secrets behind potato-encrusted sea bass and other recipes. At the monthly demos, attendees can also bring their own spirits to sip during the presentation and the resident singing trout's lounge act that follows.
With a broad selection of organic and locally grown produce, imported cheeses, and freshly caught seafood, Fresh Farms International Market seamlessly blends local and international flavors. Specialists in aquatic fare guide patrons through the details of live lobsters ($7.99/lb.) or wild octopus ($2.99/lb.), explaining how to prepare them and train them to guard a bank vault. Dairy experts brandish a cooled case full of rare cheeses and everyday essentials, such as Bulgarian feta ($2.99/lb.) and Mountain Brand swiss ($3.99/lb.). Meanwhile, meat mongers dig into smoked ham shanks ($1.49/lb.), flanked by California broccoli ($0.79/lb.) and Wisconsin dry yellow onions ($0.19/lb.), to create a full meal or a trap for a hungry tyrannosaur.
The artful bakers at Upper Crust Bagels craft more than 15 varieties of kettle-boiled New York–style bagels fresh daily. The dough wizards work through the night to forge the circular comestibles, deftly mixing, shaping, and punching out their centers to ensure that they rise from their nocturnal slumber. Esurient shoppers can construct a baker's dozen of flavor halos, populating their assembly with savory and sweet denizens such as sundried tomato, pumpernickel, and chocolate chip, along with a plain bagel for frills-free palates. Once a phalanx of 13 disks has been bagged up, nibblers appoint one of Upper Crust's freshly whipped cream cheeses to the role of bagel haberdasher, cloaking floury plains with rich layers of spreads such as light lox spread or cheddar cheese.
Doctor of Chiropractic Felde got his first look at the chiropractic profession when he was only 16 years old, and he never turned back. After incurring a back injury during a jet-ski accident, he sought alternatives to prescription drugs and surgery; his quest soon landed him in the office of a chiropractor, who helped him to recover fully and ignited his fascination with the field. Chiropractic therapy would continue to play an integral role in his life for years to come, helping him to keep up with the physical demands of collegiate rugby and finally leading him to pursue his own chiropractic doctorate.
Today, Dr. Felde owns his own practice, where he draws upon his wealth of personal experiences to help his clients to overcome pain with safe, noninvasive methods. Before each treatment, the doctor gathers a clear picture of his patient's injuries through neurologic, orthopedic, and chiropractic evaluations. He then sets out to correct misalignments and knead the kinks out of vestigial tails with chiropractic adjustments, massages, and acupuncture treatments.
