Faculty provide core instruction in the veterinary curriculum, specifically in bacteriology, immunology, parasitology, pathology, public health, and virology. Additional elective courses are provided by the department within the veterinary curriculum. An emphasis is placed on the problem-oriented instructional approach in veterinary curricular courses. Faculty provide diagnostic services through the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. While engaged in service activities, faculty also provide instruction to fourth-year veterinary students as part of the Diagnostics Block. The department maintains a strong and rigorous graduate education program with emphasis on research training to the Ph.D. degree. The graduate program integrates course work relevant to obtaining a solid preparatory framework. One-on- one faculty mentoring constitutes the primary training method. Individuals successfully completing the program are well qualified to perform hypothesis-directed, state-of-the- art research. In the graduate education area, training toward board certification is provided in both veterinary anatomic pathology and veterinary microbiology. Most departmental post-D.V.M. graduate students trained in diagnostic pathology prepare for certification by the American College of Veterinary Pathologists and pass the examination. Departmental faculty serve as program directors on three federally funded graduate student training grants and on two short-term training grants. The short-term training grants have positions designated for minority students consistent with the department's strong commitment to diversity. The major research focus of VMP is infectious diseases (host-parasite interactions) including virology, parasitology, bacteriology, vaccine production and immunology. The VMP faculty has a long history of successfully seeking and acquiring extramural support. For the past decade, extramural support has surpassed the department's base of support from the State of Washington. The faculty also form a strong interdisciplinary group of investigators engaged in research to control diseases of international importance. This research program is supported by international funding agencies. Since 1938 the college, through VMP, has had collaborative research projects with research scientists of the USDA- Agricultural Research Service, Animal Disease Research Unit, housed within the department. A technology transfer laboratory within the department complements the instrumentation base available to faculty, staff, and students.

WAN optimisation gives rise to edge virtual server infrastructure
WAN optimisation has been effective in pushing the industry toward a data center without boundaries, but it doesn?t address all IT challenges in the branch. A new approach called edge virtual server infrastructure (edge-VSI) helps to bring the vision a step closer by allowing IT to consolidate and manage all edge servers in the data center with LAN performance at the edge, all at up to 50 percent of the cost of managing traditional distributed environments.

Institution: University College London
This is a brief summary of the organisational model that we have adopted in order to work more closely with Schools, Faculties and Departments and 'partner' with them in understanding and providing for the needs of their particular staff in a 'bespoke' way where appropriate. This positions us better to target our resource towards meeting real needs, while striving for enhanced alignment between UCL's research strategy and individual aspirations. This new model also enables us to work more closely in partnership with other key people deployed at a Faculty or Department level, such as Research Facilitators, Research Leaders, HR Consultants, Faculty Managers etc. -

Zoey was always a hardworker on earth, helping homeless children and helping people learn to trust animals. She never had problems till she hears about a male that tried to take over the world. She knew who he was he was talked about a lot and turns out that, he was the famous Loki of the nine realms. She decided to help the god kknowing he wouldn't like what she was going to do she went to asguard to ask to have Loki stay with her for a couple years, they did it all wrong and said that Loki had to marry her but that was not the case at all. She sat down and then waited for the god to appear.
Zoey hears the door get slammed open and whirling around she saw what was her new room mate, guessing the male that was pissed off was Loki. She clears her voice and smiled slightly,
"Hello you must be Loki, I'm Zoey" She introduced herself hoping this didn't upset him but man did he look pissed off. She winced slightly and sighed softly. She said slowly,
"Alright some house rules you should fallow, Do not up into the actic, Do not enter my room You are free to do whatever else you want but mess with the kitchen" She said dismissing him then to roam but not go in those places.

Lompoc police are relieved that the manhunt for fugitive Christopher Dorner is over.
Dorner is the former Los Angeles police officer suspected of killing four people, including two officers. He is believed to have died in a burned mountain cabin Tuesday in Big Bear Lake after a standoff with police.
Lompoc Captain Don Deming previously worked at the LAPD. He was mentioned in Dorner's "manifesto" posted on Facebook as someone who could confirm Dorner was a good report writer before he was fired.
Dorner had also threatened in his posting to wage "unconventional warfare" on law enforcement officers and their families.
Lompoc police took precautions to protect Captain Deming and his family while Dorner was on the run.
Chief Larry Ralston said the past several days were stressful for Captain Deming and his family who were displaced while the manhunt for Doerner was underway.
Chief Ralston expects Captain Deming to be back to work on Friday.

I've stayed here three times now and I know I'll stay again when I'm next in Krakow. Rooms are light and airy and tastefully decorated, staff are friendly and very helpful and the breakfast is always good. The location's not excellent, but it's still only 15 mins walk to the station and about the same to Rynek.

We stayed in the apartment (33b) and it was very nice, like having your own place there! The location was good for us, the area was nice and quiet and a short walk away from where we wanted to go (Kazimierz, Wawel castle, the riverside and the Old Town). The apartment does not include breakfast but it can be bought for a good price and there are also places nearby to buy something. The apartment is fully equipped, incl. kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine... Highly recommended! :)

Joe arrived at our doors in February 2007 from far away, Washington, DC to be exact. Just so no one gets the wrong idea, though, he was merely earning a living in DC; Joes cultural identity, as well as his professional sports allegiances and, when he has a few drinks in him, his accent, are all Baltimore through and through. After working on the wholesale side of the business for nearly 4 years, Joe decided that he wanted to work wine retail with the best, so he emailed Cindy Westby at K&L and the rest is history. While Joe is well versed in a number of wine regions, he most enjoys the wines of Europe, though he is growing increasingly interested in the great wines of the Santa Cruz mountains. When he is not at K&L, Joe enjoys cooking, traveling, catching up on The Wire, doing occasional PR, booking and recording work for reggae band JohnStone (www.johnstonemusic.com), and writing for his wine, food and music blog, Old world Old School (www.oldworldoldschool.blogspot.com)

2008 York Creek "MXB" Spring Mountain District Red Blend
Review Date: 12-11-2013
Fortunately for us and for you all, the goodies from York Creek continue to come our way. This is the most approachable and fruit forward of the wines we've had, but keep in mind that this is still York Creek and of course there is structure and grit and lots of character on display here. For a fuller bodied $16 red, there is very little (if anything?) around that is as delicious and satisfying as the York Creek MXB.
Price: $15.99
2011 Domaine Gerard Tremblay Chablis "Vieilles Vignes"
Review Date: 11-19-2013
I love young Chablis, and as much as I intended to stash away bottles from the recent great vintages of 2008 and 2010, invariably I am trigger happy and do not cellar nearly as much as I should. In the case of this delicious 2011, I'd be happy to open and drink many bottles without any guilt. While it surely will improve for several years, the price and approachable, friendly nature of the vintage both make this a drinker. Crab - check. Oysters - check. Tremblay Chablis VV - check! Your holiday party is now ready to go.
Price: $19.99
2011 Bodegas y Viñedos Ponce "La Casilla" Manchuela
Review Date: 11-13-2013
From my earlier minimal experience with Bobal grapes, I was not sold on this grape variety, not until I tasted Juan Antonio Ponce's wines. Boy was I ever wrong about this underrated grape! The 2011 La Casilla is legit, bonafide, purely fruited, seriously structured, complex, delicious yet tightly wound, cellar ready wine, no doubt about it. To use a much over-used expression in the relatively small, insular world of wine email blasts, "Don't sleep." For under $20, this is quite possibly my favorite young red wine of the year.
Price: $17.99
2011 Suertes del Marqués "7 Fuentes" Valle de Orotava (Tenerife)
Review Date: 11-13-2013
I would be hard pressed to find a Thanksgiving wine as unconventional, as novel, as surprisingly delicious, and yet as suitable at table as the Suertes del Marques 7 Fuentes. Aromas are spicy and floral, with white pepper and complex exotic spices - intriguing yet not so strong that they overpower the beautiful fruit. On the palate, the crisp fruits combine with the aforementioned spicy, floral, spiciness, for a fresh, refreshing mouthful of red wine that I'm predicting will work wonders with the traditional Thanksgiving spread. Light, bright, and quaffable at an honest 13.5% ABV. Canary red for Thanksgiving it is!
Price: $15.99
1991 Cambus 21 Year Old K&L Exclusive Signatory Single Barrel Cask Strength Single Grain Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 10-11-2013
Of all the new Signatory casks we recently tasted in the shop, maybe this single grain bottling from Cambus is the most intriguing? It is a singluar expression for whisky geeks, without being too challenging. Like "Dave OG" describes in his notes, I also get the exotic, tropical aromatic nuances in this whisky. It is generous on the palate, without any of the herbal or medicinal notes which single grain whisky occasionally shows. Awesome stuff.
Price: $109.99
1995 Fettercairn 17 Year Old K&L Exclusive "Exclusive Malts" Single Barrel Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 10-9-2013
I've got a soft spot for the ol' Fettercairn, I must admit. Their 1981 was one of the first very old whiskies I've ever tried six or so years ago, and it made an impression. The 1995 does not disappoint, with all of the intensity and personality I expect to find in this distinctive, unusal highland distillery. The maltiness, old wood aromas and flavors, hints of wild flower honey on an old woolen shirt...this is classic Highland single malt whisky and Fettercairn has got it in spades.
Price: $89.99
2005 Island Distillery 7 Year Old K&L Exclusive "Exclusive Malts" Single Barrel Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 10-9-2013
Peat, honey and a wonderful grainy quality to the aromas(brought out with a few drops of water)lead to similar flavors. Given the strength, this is a whisky with terrific balance and tasty sweet/savory flavors of Carr's wheat biscuits or even a less sweet honeynut Cheerios. Great stuff for the price; I'm definitely buying some!
Price: $59.99
2011 Beso de Vino Garnacha Cariñena
Review Date: 9-25-2013
The lip-smacking berry fruit of this Garnacha makes it as delicious for a pre-dinner copa de vino as it would be for a casual dinner of pasta with sauteed vegetables. Supple, roundly textured and very pure fruited, Beso de Vino is a "kiss of wine," indeed!
Price: $8.99
Campeòn K&L Exclusive Blanco Tequila 750ml
Review Date: 8-30-2013
I do not drink tequila often, but when I do, I prefer Campeon K&L Exclusive Blanco. Seriously, though, you don't need to be the most interesting man in the world to appreciate this tequila's spicy, agave character. It's crisp, very pure and clean tasting, and at under $30 this is definitely up there amongst the best values in the spirits department right now.
Price: $29.99
2005 Heras Cordon Reserva Rioja
Review Date: 8-9-2013
This is a lovely, softly textured, classic, fruit forward Rioja that is beginning to show a hint of the savor which we love in this region. To benchmark it, we recently had it open alongside another 2005, the traditional stalwart and one of our favorites, La Rioja Alta Viña Arana. I think that this more than held its own, perhaps showing less spicy intrigue and classic American oak flavors, but definitely exhibiting a similar effortless balance and comparable length on the palate. Very good stuff for now or over the next several years.
Price: $19.99
2011 Tilia Torrontes
Review Date: 8-6-2013
Torrontes is one of those grapes that makes unique, one-of-a-kind wines that are very easily identifiable, even by a novice. Ripe, rounded, yellow fruit flavors combine here with torrontes' typical fennel pollen aromatics to produce a lovely sipper, a white that is not particularly high in acidity but lovely and slightly floral, with juicy fruit that refreshes the palate and plays well on its own or with any South American inspired seafood dish. Ingredients that are typically tough on wine, such as herbs like tarragon and cilantro, and even dishes containing fresh fruit, often work particularly well with Torrontes. This is a versatile, delicious change of pace from other less aromatic summer whites.
Price: $7.99
2011 Conde de Valdemar "Finca Alto Cantabria" Blanco Rioja
Review Date: 8-6-2013
A great value white wine does not need to be a simple quaffer. Here we have an example of a wine that refreshes but offers a whole lot more, particularly bright fruit, tense minerality and a long finish. Any fan of Macon, Muscadet and other classic European dry white wine values will likely swoon over this white Rioja!
Price: $12.99
Bruno Michel "Blanche" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 8-2-2013
This is arguably, pound for pound, dollar for dollar, the most versatile and satisfying Champagne in the store. So bright tasting, with good minerality and delicious, juicy fruit. A colleague put it well when she called this champagne "friendly." I completely agree. It is indeed friendly, without sacrificing originality or wine geek appeal. One to always have on hand around the house (especially if you're inviting me over!)
Price: $34.99
La Guita Manzanilla Sanlucar de Barrameda
Review Date: 7-4-2013
This is not white wine. It's as refreshing, more complex, and has a far more storied past than nearly any white wine I can think of. The wine is Manzanilla, the lightly fortified white wine aged for several years in old oak casks in the seaside town of Sanlucar de Barrameda. Bright, appley, with notes of sea spray and subtle suggestions of almonds, Manzanilla offers quintessential summer drinking, whether it is as an aperitive with snacks, to accompany cheese and charcuterie, or to pair with your favorite grilled, fried or cured seafoods. Give this a try and see what all the renewed interest in Manzanilla and Fino Sherry is all about!
Price: $14.99
2009 Maurodos "San Roman" Toro
Review Date: 7-4-2013
San Roman is made by Eduardo Garcia, son of former Vega Sicilia winemaking legend Mariano Garcia. One of Vega Sicilia's hallmarks is the elegance of fruit and deft use of elevage, or oak ageing, to create one of the world's great wines. Clearly, Eduardo picked up some secrets from his old man, as San Roman is one of the most beautiful, aromatic, bright and age-worthy of Spain's fuller bodied Toro wines. In fact, it is more complex, balanced and elegant than most of the wines in the nearby, more highly regarded Ribera del Duero. This is incredible wine that not only impresses those who love rich, full bodied blockbusters, but also those who usually do not think much of these. I'd be hard pressed to think of a better $50 wine, with as broad a range of appeal, as the Maurodos San Roman.
Price: $49.99

Gamifi-what? What The Strange Word 'Gamification' Really Means
Gamification isn't a brand new concept and has been around for quite a while now. I'm pretty sure you have heard of it; however for those who haven't, you're not alone. Research conducted by Upstream in 2012 revealed a worrying fact; two-thirds of marketers don't know what the term gamification really means.

EUR/USD: Technical Analysis
Eurodollar has formed a double bottom at yesterday's lows and has managed to remain above the upper line of the wedge. Momentum is converging bullishly and we will probably see a rally from here. A rise above the neckline at 1.2913 would target 1.3000 – although a nearer target would be the tough level of resistance at 1.2970. A re-break of the 1.2824 lows would lead to a renewal of the down-trend perhaps to support at 1.2775.

Go Mama Go Wonder Bumper
Great investment for your infants safety! Amy1123 from Waretown NJ Great investment for your child's safety. My husband and I were totally perplexed about the safety of crib bumpers. My doctor told me about Wonder Bumpers and I decided that they were definetly the way to go. The traditional bumpers caused some infant deaths and I was not happy with the rough material of he mesh breathable bumpers. Wonder Bumpers are the only only other alternative to those two products and are the answer. They are soft, easy to zip on, and are safe for the babies. My daughter loved them and they added a beautiful touch to both her nursery and the look of the crib. They last forever and are definetly worth the price for something that is going to keep your baby safe and help them sleep better for the first few years of their lives. |
adorable AND safe texas mom from san antonio, tx These bumpers are so cute and are the perfect alternative to the older bumpers. My baby started rolling into the sides of his crib and so I had to find something to stop him and these were the perfect answer. the damask print is adorable and works for a boy OR a girl. but most importantly they're SAFE and prevent my son from hurting himself. |

Gary Barlow tips new Take That album for 2013 releaseGary Barlow has revealed that Take That will most likely release a new album in 2013. The band have enjoyed major success with their studio albums since reforming and are looking to release another soon. Speaking to the Daily Star, Barlow said that the tunes could well be inspired by music from around the world, with the singer recently taking a trip around the globe for the Diamond Jubilee track 'Sing'. He said: "The new album will probably be next year. Everyone's had their year off and we're looking forward to it." He also said: "Your location exposes you to music you wouldn't normally hear. When I lived in America for a year I came back with a whole different view on how music should be. Think how limited we are to what we listen to. I listen between Capital, Heart and Radio 1 and that's about it for me. Then you get to Sydney and get in a cab and go: 'What's this?' It gets the old Shazam going." Listen to Gary Barlow's Diamond Jubilee song 'Sing' below: Latest 10 Take That News Stories

Israeli PM orders forced evacuations from Palestinian tent protest
Activists protesting the Israeli settlement plans for the E1 land in the West Bank have been forcibly evacuated by Israeli police, AP reported on Sunday.
Demonstrators set up tents on Friday to protest the move by Israel to develop more Jewish settlements on the corridor of land, effectively stopping the West Bank from becoming a contiguous state.
Police spokesman, Micky Rosenfield, told the news agency that, although no arrests were made, around 100 protestors were evicted from the site early on Sunday morning.
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had isolated the area on Saturday night by shutting down access roads and declaring the site a "closed military zone".
Previous attempts by the Israeli military administration to expel the activists were quelled late on Friday when demonstrators successfully petitioned to the Israeli supreme court for the orders to be frozen
However, the court injunction was apparently lifted on Sunday although Israeli police sources could not tell AP which court had allowed the order to be rescinded.
Activists were attempting to create a Palestinian village - known as "Bab al Shams" - on the land, using a tactic more usually associated with Jewish settlers, of occupying sites in order to claim them as their own.

This is some cheap insurance to keep you from having to replace rear brake rotors, especially if you ride rocky areas like myself. The guard is built very strong and fully protects the entire bottom portion of the disk. The only downside to this style of guard is that now you have one additional thing you have to thread the rear axle through when you are installing the rear wheel. Not a big deal at all in the garage, but out on the trail, this could make things a little difficult. The supplied narrower axle spacer works great. I would recommend this product.

"Great Place To Stay"
Overall really enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Newport Resort. Room had 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, full kitchen, living room, fireplace, patio and 3 tv's. Beds were SUPER comfortable, kitchen was well-appointed. The general amenities were nice too ... indoor pool and hot tub, fitness room, free small continental breakfast, common area for reading, etc. The […] only real downside, and it wasn't that big of a deal, was hearing the guest upstairs walking around all the time ... and the lack of cream rinse for long hair. Other than that ... it was perfect! Читати даліДійсний відгук від користувача Hotels.com
"2 Thumbs UP!!"
Second visit, both times we loved the Newport Inn. Only suggestion would be to purchase comfortable couches in the rooms. I know they're hideaway beds but tough to sit on. The staff was GREAT!! Pool was AWESOME! Everything was clean and well maintianed. The staff gave my 3 year old daughter a pumpkin with a painted happy-face as we checked-out on the […] last day. They went out of there way to put a smile on her face. Great job, great stay, great weekend!!!! Читати даліДійсний відгук від користувача Hotels.com

Though we were told that there was an opening from hotels.com there was not according to Newport Resort. They ended up sending us to the Landmark Resort which was about 60.00 more per night. We didn't have much choice and were very disappointed. I really feel that there should be better communication between the hotels and hotels.com. I also do not […] feel that hotels.com should charge for any booking fee on this and will think twice before I ever use the site again. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

"quiet getaway"
we loved Door County and the little village of Egg Harbor...it was about a five minute walk into the heart of things...several good restaurants, a beautiful park overlooking the harbor...perfect for watching gorgeous sunsets on the water.

"Great hotel in great town"
I have nothing but positive things to stay about this hotel. We knew nothing about Door County and was looking for a 2-night stay which a lot of hotels would not accommodate. The hotel was super nice (great indoor & outdoor pools and lots of other kid-friendly activities), the room was stellar, and the location was great as well - a short walk to the […] downtown area. This was our 1st trip to Door County and without really knowing which town to stay in or what hotel, this was a total win. Our kids loved it as well. Highly recommend it - we will be back for sure!

We went off season & enjoyed everything from the one bedroom suite, Shipwrecked restaurant(microbrews), Casey's, Door Peninsula Winery & Distillery(excellent), the Log Den, breakfast at Rusty's Tractor Café, Harbor Ridge winery & the cheese shop. We'll return, we have 1 more winery to visit-Orchard Winery. One day it rained we browsed thru the antique […] shops on Hwy 42, by afternoon it was sunny again.

Very nice condo development in lovely Egg Harbor. Very clean and comfortable room in a centrally located area of Door County. Staff was very helpful, informative and friendly.

"We really enjoyed staying at the Newport Resort."
Our one-bedroom suite at the Newport Resort exceeded our expectations. It was clean and quaint. We also thought it was cute that there is a small, little book in the room where guests who have stayed there in the past have left notes and comments about the sights, activities, and restaurants in Door County. It was very useful and helpful. We enjoyed […] getting fresh towels delivered to our room, even though we had the "do not disturb" card left in our door. It's always nice to have fresh towels waiting outside in a basket when you get back to your room. They have the best-tasting coffee in their lobby/breakfast area. I wish I could have taken some home with me. The weight room had working, functional equipment: one treadmill, one eliptical, one stationary bike, some free weights, and also a universal weightlifting station.

"The Newport in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin"
The minute I stepped foot into the lobby, I knew that my stay was going to be good. The staff was awesome, super friendly, and helpful. I then stepped into my 2 bedroom suite and was totally blown away! I don't do a lot of traveling and I found this suite to be the nicest place I've ever stayed. I can't wait for next summer to stay again! I enjoyed […] using the fitness room and laying out by the pool. It was hard to leave on the last morning of my stay. My only criticism would be that the beds need fluffier pillows! I like big firm pillows and these were not like that. However, I did have a great night's sleeep, so the pillows is not a major issue.

"Sehr schönes Quartier für Familien"
das Hotel hat uns sehr gut gefallen, im Grunde waren es Apartments mit Hotelservice. Es war alles vorhanden, was man für ein entspanntes Wochenende braucht. Es gibt eine offene Küche mit großem Kühlschrank, Herd und Mikrowelle, sowie ausreichend Geschirr für 4-6 Personen. Das eine Kingbett iin einer der beiden Schlafzimmer ist für zwei Heranwachsende […] etwas schmal, einer unserer Söhne hat jeweils auf dem Schlafsofa im Wohnzimmer geschlafen, war kein Problem. Die Pools waren nicht "olympisch", aber ausreichend zum Schwimmen. Leider konnten wir die hoteileigenen Fahrräder nicht nutzen, weil das Wetter zu schlecht war. Der einzige Minuspunkt ist der ungemütliche, selbst bei schlechtem Wetter völlig unterkühlte Frühstücksraum. Sonst ist das Hotel sehr zu empfehlen!

"Zentral auf Door County"
Das Hotel liegt zentral auf der Insel Door County und eignet sich gut zur Erkundung der Insel. Fahrradverleihstationen sind schnell zu erreichen und das Hotel selbst verleiht Fahrräder. Der Weg zum Lake Michigan ist zu Fuß in wenigen Minuten zu bewältigen, allerdings verfügt Eggharbour nicht über einen Traumstrand. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, […] die Zimmer bzw. Lodges sind großzügig geschnitten und komplett für eine Selbstverpflegung ausgestattet. Das Frühstück ist im Gegensatz zu den anderen Angeboten eher spartanisch.

I am a part of the East Bay Figure Painters, a figure painting group I founded with Karen Zullo Sherr and other artists in 2007. We met at a figure drawing class featuring the typical 20 minute poses and found ourselves wanting to work in a figure painting environment that would feature longer poses (longer than 40 minutes), clothed models, and a diversity of ages and body shapes. Such groups existed but were not open to walk-ins.
With this challenge, we hired professional models from the Bay Area Model's Guild and found a location run by a local art collective, the Firehouse North Gallery. Our drawings and paintings all revolve around the figure, but there is a diversity of approaches and media the viewers find engaging. There are no warm-up or gesture poses. The clothed model arrives dressed in everyday clothes, and gets "posed" by one of the painters. Every twenty minutes, the model takes a short break and the artists pause to chat or view each other's work until the end of the three hour session. Other members take various other duties such as posing the model, changing the music, collecting the model's fee, and addressing walk-ins.

Nineteen civilians -- including five children and 12 women -- were killed in a roadside bombing that struck a vehicle carrying them in western Afghanistan's Herat province on Tuesday, police said.
Seven other people were injured in the attack, which happened at about 6 p.m. in the Obeh district, said Abdul Hamid Hamidi, Herat province's deputy police chief.
The bomb struck a three-wheel mini truck that was carrying more than two dozen people, Hamidi said.

Quiessence Restaurant & Wine Bar
Online Reservations
Fantastic food, great service, very unique setting. Would not hesitate to go back when I am in Scottsdale again.
Quiessence was perfect for my wife and I to enjoy a romantic dinner with each other. The ambiance was wonderful, set aside at night in a quaint house at the end of a farm. The food was outstanding, and with a daily rotating menu, we can enjoy different dishes whenever we go back. We enjoyed the tasting menu, which offered a 6 course meal complete with dessert, and it was just a wonderful experience for the both of us.
Excellent service. Tasting menu with wine pairing highly recommended. Wonderful evening.
This is the perfect farm to table restaurant. You are dining on the site of the farm. The service was perfect. Willing to substitute wines when the selected pairing was not to my taste. The only negative that I could note was that the portions were rather large on the tasting menu. I had to take my last (meat) course home to be able to enjoy the dessert course. I will definitely go back when in the area.
Had the tasting menu which was a delicious tour of seasonal ingredients. Stinging nettle soup was outstanding, as was the arctic char salad. The NY strip was so flavorful we asked the server what special spice rub was used; "little bit of salt, little bit of pepper and really good beef" was the answer--shows you what quality ingredients do! Wine pairings were excellent, and 3/5 pairings were from AZ vineyards and 1 was from NM, so the southwest was well represented with outstanding wines.
They were able to accommodate our dietary restrictions in the tasting menu. Wonderful meal.
On a recent visit to Phoenix my husband and I enjoyed both brunch at Morning Glories and dinner at Quiessence. Both experiences were simply wonderful but dinner was among our all time favorite dining experiences. We enjoyed the Chiefs' tasting with the wine paring. Our server was superb helping us learn more about AZ and west coast wines. Fantastic food and a great server made this a truly memorable dinner.
The staff was very attentive and helpful and even surprised us with dessert for our anniversary.
The starter course, the soup and terrine, were fantastic. The pastas and entrees were very good and we're always surprised by the creativity. The service, as always, was outstanding, helpful staff, always willing to answer questions or suggest wine pairings. The only criticism we have is we wish there was a larger selection of entrees to choose from. But we will always suggest Quiessence for a special occasion.
It was perfect night with great food and a fantastic atmosphere. It's located at the Farm at South Mountain and feels like you're being transported out of the city. The food was fantastic and the server did a very nice job. It was our 3 year anniversary, and Quiessence helped up celebrate with a complimentary dessert plate which was unexpected and very nice. We'll be back again, whether for our next anniversary or just to treat ourselves.
Intimate, eclectic. Fine food prepared and presented well. Attentive wait staff. Highly recommended for special occasions.
The service was well paced and consistent. The wine selection was appropriate for us and our food selection. The gnocchi was excellent, we have never had better. The setting of restaurant in a garden is relaxing and is completed by the decor. We do not get to Phoenix all that often but we will get to this restaurant the next time we vacation in Phoenix. The restaurant offers a casual, friendly and we'll organized experience which is not a common experience.
The first place I have been to in Phoenix that actually can make ice tea. Service, quality and unique flavors in one place! We enjoyed it. The portion are small for a guy, but the hubby just ate my food.
My wife and I went to Quiessence for our anniversary and it was outstanding! From the food to the service. They made the evening very special.
Quite simply one of the best food experiences we have had In the US in our lives. - Chris and Jennifer Bourdain, Larchmont NY
Our party of 5 had a wonderful time and we happened to be there on a night when they were short on staff and we didn't feel neglected in the least. Food and Wine parings where exceptional!
There food and wine flight is the best in the Valley, always fresh, always somthing original. One of the six courses was only good, the others exceptional. Not sure its worth the $300 for a couple for a food and wine flight, but I cant think of one better. Service this time was good but our waiter, who was wonderful, was over extended covering his tables (Not our eperience last time)
One of the top 5 or 10 restaurants in the world that i have had the pleasure of experiencing. Great evening wonderful service. We will be back
My wife an I had an outstanding experience here. Ordered the chef's dinner, 6 full courses and a light fava bean morsel to start with. Each course was delivered by a knowlegeable staff member (there must have been 4 or 5 different servers throughout the evening). Quiessence is located in a very quiet spot set back from the road. Even though it is very close to the airport, we didn't hear one air place. Sitting on the outdoor patio was very relaxing. I would highly recommend dining here for a quiet romantic dinner.
The food was excellent, however the meat course followed by the fish course was too similar in THIS SENSE: The fish (Kona Kampachi) was grilled with a pink center...perfectly cooked and very tasty. The pork tenderloin wrapped in ash, although a meat dish. WAS COOKED EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, with a pink center. The pink center was not the problem...one course following another should have a distinctively difference...oh yes, fish and pork is distinctively different. Presenting two course following each other, one should have the feeling of a NEW experience in appearance and method. The pasta course has always been the highlight at this restaurant
I have to say that this is the perfect place to celebrate an anniversary. It is such a beautiful restaurant and the atmosphere is unforgettable! I highly recommend this hidden gem for a romantic intimate dinning experience!
Bar none. If you want to impress that special lady, take her here.
This hidden gem is very quiet and a great romantic spot to enjoy some very wonderful food. We did the chefs trasting menu; 6 well thought out plates that were as beautiful as they were yummy. Deep rich flavors enticed with very fresh vibrant vegetables picked from local growers, some from their on site gardens. The wait staff were knowledgable, attentive and consistently great. I love this place and will go back again when they reopen this fall.
Our table was next to a rustic picture window looking out on a coarsely tended patio and yard area connoting roots of a rural farm environment. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and the wine list. The multi course pre-planned meal was a delight to all the senses. Each course brought a different highlight to the pallet. We are huge fans of chef Tony.
I loved this restaurant. The food and service are great
Quiessence was quite lovely, though there were just a couple of very minor hiccups. The setting for Quiessence is extraordinarily lovely; it's a converted farmhouse on a working farm. The first hiccup was they had run out of gin so a few of the drinks that we were considering weren't available. The only other minor hiccup was it would have been nice to have gotten water refills more regularly. Otherwise, service was excellent. My friend and I did the tasting menu, which ended up being 7 courses plus an amuse bouche. Everything was excellent but the halibut in particular was simply outstandingly excellent. A fantastic and creative menu that was very well executed. I strongly recommend it and look forward to going back.
I have been to this restaurant several times, but this time was absolutely amazing. They have a new chef, Sasha, who is brilliant. Thanks Sasha for making my girl's birthday dinner amazing. Staff and service were outstanding as well, very accomodating to our needs and making our event a very enjoyable experience.
This was my first time back to Quiessence since the new Chef Dustin started to run the restaurant. They have really given the restaurant & outer area a face lift. The Farm has always been magical, but now it is gorgeous. My husband and I shared the Pork Belly with Maple Mascarpone. We have always been a fan of Chef Dustin's Pork Belly dish at his other restaurant, The House at Secret Garden, so wanted to try the variance. We loved it. We also shared the Roasted Beet salad and Smoked Lamb Shoulder Cappelletti - beautiful. Chef Dustin's pastas are always perfect. I ended with the Duck. The portion was very large & I was more than full after. That didn't stop me from ordering the Persimmon Panzanella Salad. It was a piece of art & delicious!
Quiessence is my boyfriend and my go-to spot for a romantic date night! With romantic ambiance, amazing food and wine list, and great service, Quiessence cannot be beat! Tip: If the weather is nice, sit on the patio or reserve the brick oven table! It's so beautiful and perfect for an intimate dinner!!
Our server was Scottish and he was excellent. the food was very good and the atmosphere was great.
Food was creative and delicious,service attentive,ambiance unique and romantic! A great experience!
First time back since the new chef took over. It was a very friendly and familiar, farm fresh menu. We completed the server on the brussel sprout salad, which was really well done. We also ate from a delicious cheese board, and my wife and I both had the Mediterranean sea bass for our main course. They prepared the fish very well and it was delicious. We'll be back again sometime soon!
I just enjoyed a great dinner at quiessence. i haven't been in at least a year, but the farm was so beautiful and the food was even more delicious than i remember. some highlights from our meal ...the lamb heart was amazing (and much lighter than it sounds); Mayas foraged salad was beautiful, colorful, and so fresh and delicious; lamb two ways melts in your mouth; and the lemon tart was the perfect end to this meal. gorgeous setting, knowledgeable server, and amazing meal! I will be back soon!
The food, service and atmosphere were all outstanding. We went to the restaurant to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant was nearly empty and we were a bit apprehensive. However, we were pleasantly greeted roadside as the lights that illuminated the way to the scenic restaurant were out. Our server was delightful and very knowledgeable about the menu. Our appetizer of a brussel sprout and pomegranate seed salad was delicious. We were treated to a complimentary cheese board, which proffered the best cheeses I've ever tasted. Our entrees of lamb and sea bass were also wonderful. Although we were both full, we managed to share a dessert, an exquisitely prepared crepe. I would highly recommend Quiessence.
A great dining experience. The staff was excellent, attentive without being intrusive. Our waitress knew the menu and described each dish perfectly. The duck was delicious, as was the sea bass. The roasted vegetables were super fresh and seasoned correctly. I understand they are under new ownership/management and there are a few kinks to be worked out but overall we were very happy with our food, wine, service, and the ambience they have created. We will definitely return!
I am a chef and we were in if or the weekend and I haven't ENJOYED a dining like this since being in Europe 2 years ago! It is sabsolutely PHENOMINAL in EVERWAY! I would work here!!!!!! GO go go!!!
This restaurant is located on a farm in the South Mountains. When entering, the dark landscape is illuminated by christmas lighting stung along the trees. Once parked, the entry way is trellised tunnel with plants and romantic lights to guide your way to the restaurant. It is a relatively cosy place with a nice atmosphere, especially if you can sit outside. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable about the menu, but they are usually slow to respond to requests. The food is delicious, with a strong italian influence and a lot of farm fresh vegetables. Sometimes, the saltiness is a little over pronounced - but that might just be personal preference. I highly recommend that you try this restaurant at least once for a special occasion.

The Chingaza-Sumapaz-Páramo de Guerrero Conservation Corridor spans 600,000 hectares (nearly 1.5 million acres) of tropical rainforest, agricultural lands and inhabited areas in central Colombia. This landscape includes 110 protected areas of various designations and is home to approximately 10 million people. It contains unique species and provides essential ecosystem services upon which people depend. The corridor is the source of several significant rivers that provide irrigation and potable water for local people as well as the 8 million residents of the capital city of Bogotá.
To ensure long-term conservation and sustainable use of the Corridor's natural resources, CI has been working to establish a landscape-level program that prioritizes areas for conservation, restoration and natural resource use. This three-pronged approach will ensure species conservation while protecting important headwaters and mitigating climate change.
Existing protected areas cover approximately 30 percent of the total surface area of the corridor. The other 70 percent is unprotected, primarily private land. CI's strategy has been to organize landowners, both individuals and companies, to participate in developing and implementing a sustainable land-use arrangement. To secure financing to support conservation and restoration work while conserving forested areas and reforesting degraded lands, CI is developing a forest carbon program under the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism. This program, the first of its kind in Colombia, will mitigate the effects of climate change and generate carbon credits that can be sold on the carbon market. The revenue generated will support field activities and benefit local communities.
The first step in developing the carbon program involves a series of studies to inform the design. To design the project, CI has partnered with ACUEDUCTO, a private utility company that provides drinking water and wastewater piping and treatment for the city of Bogotá and surrounding areas. ACUEDUCTO owns land in the corridor and has vested interest in conserving and restoring the corridor, which supplies the water for its operation.

Santa Clara County Poet Laureate Program
Page Content
The honorary post of Santa Clara County Poet Laureate was created by the County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors on November 18, 2008. The County works in partnership with Silicon Valley Creates to select a nominee every two years for Board appointment.
Candidates go through a peer review and interview process, and are rated on artistic merit, commitment to the community, and the alignment of the proposed public projects with the mission of the post of Poet Laureate. The ratings were compiled and the top three candidates are referred for interviews.
Sally Ashton
, a poet, writer, teacher and editor of the DMQ Review, was appointed to take the post of poet laureate beginning April 1, 2011, for a two year term expiring March 31, 2013. She is the second poet laureate, following Nils Peterson, Professor Emeritus, San Jose State University.
The Santa Clara County Poet Laureate is an honorary post. The nominee is appointed by the County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors. The mission of the Poet Laureate is to:
Elevate poetry in the awareness of Santa Clara County residents and to help celebrate the literary arts;
Serve as an advocate for poetry, literature, and the arts;
Lead a community project that makes poetry more accessible; and
Contribute to Santa Clara County's poetry and literary legacy.
POETRY ON THE MOVE NEWS CONFERENCE - April 6, 2012
April is National Poetry Month. To celebrate, the County of Santa Clara Poet Laureate Sally Ashton launched "Poetry on the Move," featuring five winning poems of the Poetry on the Move Contest which ran from mid-December through January 31. Residents were asked to send their best poem that celebrates who we are and what we do in Silicon Valley. The poems were to be 50 words or less. Some ideas given to kick-start the creative process were to write about "invention," think of the poem as an invention and capture the spirit of "making new" that shapes Santa Clara County. The collaborative project was funded by the City of San Jose Office of Cultural Affairs.
More than 100 residents answered the call. Commuters are able to read and reflect on the spirit of invention and change as they make their way around the valley. Poems are also on display at County libraries.
The County of Santa Clara and Arts Council Silicon Valley held a news conference on April 6 to recognize the winning poets.
Attending the news conference were: Poet Laureate Sally Ashton, Councilmember Sam Liccardo, City of San Jose Councilmember and VTA Board Member, Mayor Mike Kotowski, Campbell; Mayor Tony Spitaleri, Sunnyvale; Poets - Mark Heinlein, San Jose; Dennis Noren, Campbell; Danielle Roberts, Santa Clara; Patricia McDonald, Arts Commissioner & Vice Chair Public Art Committee,
City of San Jose;
Nancy Glaze
, Executive Director, Arts Council Silicon Valley; and Joe Miller, Project Artist. Mayor Tony Spitaleri read for Diana Clarke, Sunnyvale who could not attend.

I´ll bet they forget the part about ´defending the Constitution´...
They didn´t want people to know who was attending and what language was used to ´´swear in´´ the president that represents only half the people....
Will the photographers be able to get a picture of the Koran?
Perfect. John Roberts holding a Koran for the big phony to "swear" an oath. What oath? Please, get a picture.

Daytona 500 – Drivers Who Have Never Won and Suprising Winners of The Great American Race
The Daytona 500, the granddaddy of all NASCAR races, is coming up this weekend. As I type this, there is practicing, qualifying, more practicing, and tons of coverage as drivers spend about 2 weeks at the track that many only dream of conquering. With that said, some of the best drivers in the sport have never won this race, while other surprisingly have.
Top 5 Suprising Winners
Trevor Bayne
In only his second Sprint Cup start ever, Bayne won the 2011 Daytona 500 by using the tandem draft on the last two laps in one of the most surprising wins in NASCAR history.
Derrike Cope
Cope basically stole one from Dale Earnhardt Sr. back in 1990. On the last lap of the race, 'The Intimidator' was leading on the last lap when he cut a tire, and Cope cruised to a gifted win.
Michael Waltrip
Waltrip had one of the most bitter sweet wins in NASCAR history. The winner of, now two, Daytona 500 wins, got his first one in 2001 – the year that Dale Earnhardt Sr. lost his life on the last lap of the race.
Ward Burton
In 2002, the older brother of Jeff Burton, Ward won the Daytona 500. It was the first year without longtime favorite Dale Earnhardt Sr, who crashed on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. After the win, Burton would not have a good year as he slipped to number 25 in the standings and never really was a factor in any race.
Dale Earnhardt
It wasn't so much a surprise that he won the Daytona 500 in 1998, but it was how long it took for him to win it. Earnhardt lost the Daytona 500 in every way a driver can lose a race. Either he would cut a tire, crash, or simply be passed on the last lap. It is sort of ironic, that the track it took him so long to win the big race on, was the track that sadly took his life on the last lap, on the last corner.
Top 5 Drivers Who Have Not Won
Tony Stewart
Stewart has won 17 different events at the track, but has never won the Daytona 500 in the 13 races he has started. He almost won the 2012 race, only to lose because of the tandem drafting that has taken over the race in recent years.
Rusty Wallace
In 23 races, Wallace could never get a win, even though he came close several times. The good thing for him, as that his 55 races won, were enough to get the ESPN analyst into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Terry and Bobby Labonte
The Labonte brothers have a combined 43 starts in the Daytona 500, but zero wins.
Mark Martin
Martin almost won the 2007 Daytona 500, but saw Kevin Harvick take the win from him on the very last straightaway. Like other drivers, the win has escaped him in so many ways.
Ned Jarrett
'The Gentlemen' was inducted into NASCAR's Hall of Fame back in 2011, but is another driver that has surprisingly not won the Daytona 500. However, one consolation is that he is the father of retired driver Dale Jarrett, who won the event 3 times – one of those times while Ned was in the booth calling the race.
So, there is a look at some surprising wins by drivers, as well as some surprising non winners at the Daytona 500.
Who do you think will win this year's Daytona 500?

U.S. stocks appear headed for a relatively flat open Tuesday as investors eye developments in Europe, along with some earnings and economic readings at home.
Dow Jones industrial average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures were all narrowly higher. Stock futures indicate the possible direction of the markets when they open at 9:30 a.m. ET.
Sunday's election in Greece yielded a victory for the pro-bailout party and eased fears that the country will soon exit the euro. The winning New Democracy party could announce a coalition government as soon as Tuesday.
But as fears of an imminent Greek exit from the euro recede, banking and debt worries in Spain have moved into greater focus. Spain's 10-year yield moved back up above 7% on Monday, raising worries about the country's ability to stave off a bailout. The yield remained above 7% Tuesday.
Leaders of the Group of 20 nations conclude a meeting in Mexico on Tuesday. Europe is at the top of the agenda, though analysts aren't expecting any significant policy announcements.
Anticipation is higher about the Federal Reserve's two-day meeting, which ends Wednesday. Some observers believe the Fed may announce another round of bond buying or plans to continue its so-called Operation Twist, which extends the maturities of debt held by Treasury.
In the corporate world, business software maker Oracle made a surprise earnings announcement after the close Monday, lifting its shares.
U.S. stocks ended mixed Monday after a day of choppy trading following the election in Greece. But CNNMoney's Fear & Greed index showed investors' level of fear continued to lessen.
Economy: In May, home builders filed for the greatest number of building permits since September 2008, the government reported Tuesday. Permits came in at a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 780,000, easily topping forecasts of 725,000 from economists surveyed by Briefing.com. Housing starts, which are more affected by weather than are permits, fell slightly to an annual rate of 708,000, a bit short of forecasts.
Companies: Shares of retailer JC Penney tumbled 5.5% in premarket trading after it announced late Monday that its president had left the company, effective immediately. Michael Francis was hired away from rival Target with great hopes in November to lead Penney's marketing efforts, but in May the company announced disappointing sales that sent its share price sharply lower.
Even before Tuesday's premarket slide Penney shares were down 31% for the year.
Drugstore chain Walgreens announced Tuesday it was buying a 45% equity ownership stake in Alliance Boots, the Switzerland-based drug wholesaler that is a major global drugstore chain. Walgreens will pay $4 billion in cash and an additional $2.7 billion in stock for the stake, and have the right to purchase the remaining 55% of the company within three years.
Shares of Walgreens which were initially higher in heavy premarket trading on the news, then turned lower and were down 3.1% about an hour before the market open.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon returns to Capitol Hill on Tuesday, this time to testify before the House Financial Services Committee on the bank's $2 billion trading loss. In testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last week, Dimon said he couldn't defend the trades that led to the bank's massive loss and said executives could subject to clawbacks.
Oracle shares shot up 5.2% in premarket trading. The company made an unscheduled earnings release late Monday that showed an operating profit of 82 cents a share, topping not only the consensus forecast but also the most bullish estimate of analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters. Oracle also announced a $10 billion share repurchase program.
FedEx reported earnings of $1.99 a share in its fiscal fourth quarter, excluding special items, topping both year-earlier results and forecasts of a $1.92 a share profit. But its guidance for fiscal first quarter earnings was below current forecasts and the upper end of its full-year earnings guidance only met the current forecast. Shares of FedEx fell 1.5% on the lower earnings guidance.
Financial services firm Jefferies reported earnings fell to 31 cents a share, excluding special items, from 36 cents a year earlier. But that was better than forecast for EPS of 28 cents, and shares of Jefferies rose 2.6% in premarket trading.
Book retailer Barnes & Noble reported a quarterly loss of $1.08 a share, up from the loss of $1.04 a share a year earlier. But the recent quarter included a 10 cent a share charge. Shares of Barnes & Noble fell 0.4% in premarket trading following the report.
Microsoft shares were up 0.5% in premarket trading. The software maker unveiled a Windows tablet computer of its own design late Monday.
World markets: European stocks were higher in afternoon trading. Britain's FTSE 100 gained 1.1%, while the DAX in Germany rose 0.6%, and France's CAC 40 bounced back from earlier losses to be up 0.5%.
Asian markets closed slightly lower, with the Shanghai Composite losing 0.7%, the Hang Seng in Hong Kong slipping 0.1% and Japan's Nikkei off 0.8%.
Currencies and commodities: The dollar was slightly lower against the euro, the Japanese yen as well as the British pound.
Oil for July delivery gained 20 cents to $83.47 a barrel.
Gold futures for August delivery rose $4.40 to $1,631.40 an ounce.
Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury was little changed, leaving the yield near the 1.58% level reached late Monday.
