Epic Roasthouse
Online Reservations
The marrow appetizer that I like to call "Meat Butter" is my all time favorite that never disappoints. This past Monday was an opportunity to enjoy it again along with a perfectly prepared Ribeye. Whenever I go to SFO, a reservation at Epic is always first on my agenda.
My family went to Epic for our daughter's 18th birthday and the experience was wonderful. I had made the reservation with the note that it was her birthday. From the moment we arrived, they greeted us and wished her a happy birthday. The server also wished her a happy birthday. Service was timely and attentive to our needs. The food was outstanding. We has steaks and scallops. The food was prepared just the way we wanted. Desert was just the topper. Delicious. The setting was just outstanding. Sitting just off the water's edge. I cannot say enough about the experience.
I've eaten here a number of times and never had a bad meal. The service is excellent, the food is great. This is the place I take my picky out of town guests.Today I had the burger. It was amazing.
Enjoyed lunch on the patio earlier this year and wanted to return for dinner. An out of town guest was the perfect excuse to have dinner and enjoy the Bay Bridge art lighting installation by Leo Villareal. I will be returning to share a special with other close friends.
We came from out of town for the theatre & Bay Bridge Light Show & ate here based on the recommendations of a friend & the hotel concierge. We weren't disappointed. The view couldn't be topped. Our server was attentive but not overbearing. Our steaks were excellent & the mashed potatos were melt in your motuh.
Great food, very pricey, server was a little snobby, which is inexcusable, but we were pleased with the flavors and quality of every dish. Best things are their meats, crabcakes not so good. Every dessert was homemade and amazing. When we arrived, we were not happy with the location of our table and they switched us, no attitude, to a fantastic booth, so bravo to the host. This started our experience off on the right foot. We will return.
Epic Roasthouse is expensive, but worth every penny. We were treated with smiles and professional service in all aspects -- from the receptionist to the servers. My friend and I both had the fresh Alaskan halibut, and it could not have been prepared more perfectly. We shared the fig salad and the sorbet dessert. Everything was first rate, and we were not hurried at all. This is a great spot for an occasional special dinner.
What a view! I've dined at Epic Roasthouse several times-both lunch and dinner. The view is one of the best if not the best view in SF. With that said, the food is awesome! I had the sautéed Branzino at my most recent experience and it was perfectly cooked. Petra, the Wine Director, is wonderful. Attentive and friendly without being pushy. I love this place!
I thought the food was amazing. The views from the restaurant are amazing. The service was great. If you are looking for a romantic restaurant with a amazing view this is the place.
The view is unbeatable... absolutely fantastic. The service and food are amazing as well...
I would come here more often if I could afford it, because every dish is sure to please. Steak portions are large enough to share, which is great since the salads and appetizers shine. The details of the dishes are unique. I still remember how interesting and delicious the roasted cauliflower was with the pickled golden raisins. Such a deliciously salty, sweet, and savory combination that I never would have thought would work well together. The service is attentive and the views can't be beat.
Gordona and Michael were wonderful, informative, and a pleasure to have serve us at this special birthday dinner. the filet mignon was wonderful. Just wish there were lamb or duck on them menu on a regular basis. My husband doesn't eat beef or pork so having the roast duck or lamb would be a wonderful alternative. the hostess was terrific as she accommodated our request for window table for the Birthday Dinner. FANTASTIC. Thank you to the new chef for the PRIME CUT BEEF. rivals Michael Mina's Bourbon Steak House, and FAR better than Harris' or Ruth's Chris. The bordelaise sauce perfect, and the roasted figs with endive were out of this world. Thank You for being in a tourist spot but offering such wonderful cuisine. We locals love it.
The view from this restaurant is fabulous. The food was good. The waiter was attentive but small details we're overlooked.
Great views, great food and delivery of food. Stuck with the steaks, which were excellent cuts and prepared properly.
We went for our anniversary. Great choice. The food was delicious and the Staff made us feel very welcome. Robert, the Manager, greeted us with champagne and checked on us several times during the evening. The sweetbread appetizer was amazing as were the short ribs and my rib eye. We will be coming back.
Great service, even better food. Definitely worth it. Definitely a place I would suggest to someone who is celebrating an event like an anniversary. Sat outside and the view was unbeatable. Thank you, Epic Roadhouse for being a big part of a wonderful day!
Decent food. Very nice outdoor space directly over looking the Bay. Service was unhurried. When we were done eating, they did not push us out. Prices were reasonable. Really good alternative for a Sunday brunch.
Finally, a place that brings the best of the bay views (Bay Bridge, Bay) in an upscale, relaxing patio setting without having to sacrifice the food! Epic Roasthouse covers the brunch basics with flare. Mimosa is the best in town and the Epic Bloody Mary's are just that. The patio is spacious and relaxing. Great for groups, visitors, or romantic moments.
Everything including food, service and experience at Epic was amazing!
If you like steak, this is your place. I got the fried chicken and was slightly underwhelmed. Overall solid place that I keep going back to. Fantastic happy hour and bar scene
The view is outstanding. We asked our waiter to take a picture and he offer to take us outside to get a better picture. Really good service.
This is one of our favorite restaurants in the city. The steak is awesome! And the mashed potato sides as well as grilled squash are delightful. Unfortunately they removed their spinach salad from the menu which is unfortunate. That was always very tasty. The little gem salad was nothing spectacular. Deserts where fabulous as always! Great restaurant for a romantic date. We always get the table by the window for our anniversary diner and watch the sun set over the bay. Always excellent!
This was my second visit to Epic while I was visiting San Francisco attending a large conference. First was with a large group and the restaurant staff and service was unmatched by other locations the team had visited. The second visit to Epic was with my lovely lady and the two of us enjoyed wonderful food, spirited conversation with the staff, quality service and a view of the Bay Bridge as the day quietly moved into the evening. Wonderful and memorable.
The food was great...our server was good too...a little condescending at times when he asked me a question (addressed me as "captain")
My husband and I came here for an anniversary dinner. I had the filet mignon with the blue cheese, and macaroni and cheese. All of it was really good. The service was a little slower but I kind of liked not being totally rushed. The view of the bridge is awesome as well. Definitely would go back.
We were an awkward sized party of 6. the restaurant honored our reservation time, found us a table to accommodate us with a gorgeous view, and then served us well and cheerfully. The meal was a success. A minor quibble is that two of the wines I asked for off the menu were no longer available. I was given a good suggestion for a wine to try instead and it was fine. Prices take some getting used to. It is definitely not an economical place to dine, so better have your expense account ready. That said, if you're entertaining out of town guests, the view of the Bay Bridge lights is worth the price of admission.
We went for our 29th anniversary dinner & it was just lovely! They gave us a nice table at the window with wonderful views of the Bay Bridge with its beautiful light installation. Our dinner was perfectly cooked & every dish was well spaced. Not too fast nor slow. The service was perfectly timed & we never had to wait for refills of water or drinks. Everyone when they first came to the table wished us a happy anniversary & a happy anniversary sugar plack came with dessert. All in all a lovely evening at the Epic Roasthouse!
The menu is very limited. The food that we got was good - not great - but good. But what really made this dining experience great was our server. The last time we were there we had a terrible time. Our server last time seemed as though he didn't want to be there like we were a bother to him. This time, however, our server was great. Very friendly, suggested items, was there when we needed something yet not intrusive. I believe his name was Ashlyn...? I was a server for 10 years and I can tell you that he was a great example of how servers should be. If we dine there again, we will be sure to ask for him!
Lived up to the name. Good food and great service. Very loud so not the best for intimate gatherings.
Dining at Epic Roast House is truly an epic experience. Not often do you get outstanding food along with a magnificant view. Well, here you do.
I took a client here for dinner. The food options were great. She had the pork chop and I had the filet mignon. The filet was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. The endive salad with apple and blue cheese was incredible. Normally I pass on desert but opted to order tonight. Some strange named desert (Mushroom Caps...) caught my attention and I took a chance. I was so happy with this choice. It was delicious. The only critism is that our waiter didn't check in on us enough. We probably would have finished our meal 15 mintues sooner had he been a bit more attentive (which would have been our preference). I would recommend the Epic Roasthouse.
Diner was fantastic with great view, the crew is attentionned. The restaurant himself looks great, a little bit noisy, but the ambiance makes you forget this detail very quickly.
I was searching for a spot to send my parents while they visited SF. My goal was delicious food with a stunning view of the Bay Bridge Lights. Epic delivered. They are still raving about the exceptional service (they said that their every need was met, it was as if the wait staff read their minds but were never intrusive). Their waiter was so good & knowledgeable that they told him he should open his own restaurant. The filet was perfect & the duck delicious, both nicely proportioned (not too big). They were treated to perfect views of the bridge & an extra glass of Madeira after dinner, compliments of the house. They said it could not have been a more enjoyable evening. Thanks Epic, for making my parents' night so special.
A Noon Martini on the upstairs, outdoor deck overlooking the Bay Bridge with seals frolicking in the waves started a most enjoyable visit? A good friend and I enjoyed the Epic Dungeness Crab Benedict . . . done with spaetzle instead of an English Muffin . . . Brilliant! Drinks were well made with special attention to outstanding-quality olives, our bartender was personable and excellent, as was our waiter and the host desk.
The brunch here is terrific. It's spendy, but the patio in nice weather makes it absolutely worth it. And the service is impeccable.
I took my boyfriend out for a celebration dinner for landing a new job. We ordered the prime rib and the liberty duck (a new menu addition) and each grabbed a cocktail. The meat was delicious--tender, juicy, and flavorful. We ordered two sides--the spaetzle, and the "Julia Childs" potatoes. The Julia Child's potatoes with Gruyere were delicious. The spaetzle (German egg noodles), were heavy and bland. For dessert, we got the butterscotch budino and it was absolutely delicious. I recommend this place, but for me, it's definitely a very special splurge. This meal, plus tax, tip, and San Francisco city Mandate surcharge, was $173!
The food was wonderful..steak, Julia Child potatoes and bacon brussel sprouts. The noise level was horrendous. The bar opens to the dining room. There were several women laughing, talking and having a good time but it traveled into the dining room. It was very distracting.
The food was very good as was the service. The restaurant is VERY loud. This was my 2nd trip here and would return.
Expensive, but worth it! Must have dinner there before the light show on the Bay Bridge comes to an end. It is always a beautiful view, but the light show is absolutely stunning.
Everything was delicious, service was great, restaurant was nice and clean. Only problem was that all three steaks were cooked incorrectly. Two were ordered medium-well and came back medium and one was ordered medium and came back medium-rare. Other than this, it was an excellent experience.
I know that most steak houses are pricey, this place takes the cake. Oh, while we are on the subject of cake, I brought a very nice cake in for my daughters Birthday and they charged me 5 dollars a person to "plate" it. I could see 2 dollars but, I guess that is normal??? The view sets them apart from the rest but I wished they would set themselves apart by adding one vegetable to their already inflated prices so you don't feel quite as taken when you get your bill. The meat was great and my husbands Duck was very good as well. My fish was so so but what do I expect by ordering fish in a steak restaurant?
A special thank you to Lydia & Robert for recreating my meal that stayed in SF rather than coming home with me on 11/13/13. It is because of this kind of exceptional service and the extraordinary food that we repeatedly dine at Epic Roasthouse. This is the way to keep customers coming back - and we will. Always a great experience - Many thanks for understanding and making it right! My husband is picking it up today on 11/15/13. Bravo to all! We will return and spread this story of going the extra mile! You can't buy this kind of good advertising. Thank you again.
My parents and I stumbled upon this restaurant a few years ago when we were wandering around the city. It made a big impression on us then and it did as well the other night. I think that was the best steak I have ever had. The dry aged rib-eye is incredible. It almost melts in your mouth, and the truffle-miso butter is out of this world. All of the food that we ordered was amazing. The server was extremely attentive, and we did not feel rushed at all, even though we came in as their last seating. They also have mead on their wine list! It was really unusual to see, but they were really incredible and unique. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
We celebrated a birthday. Amazing view of the Bay Bridge light show. We had no idea that the food and service were going to be amazing. Highly recommended.
Great food and service and one of the best views in the Bay Area. My regular place for a great. RPM. (Real peice of meat)
The view was great -- unbelievable view of the waterfront, the bridge (with new light show), etc. The service was good -- attentive but not badgering. The food was yummy. However, it all comes at a price. Be prepared to spend $100 per person WITHOUT wine/drinks. More if you imbibe. And, the valet parking is another $20. All in all, I would recommend this for a special occasion. such as anniversary, birthday or even a great business meeting where you want to celebrate the closing of a deal.
We had Brunch recently at Epic Roasthouse after our wedding ceremony at San Francisco City Hall. We had 11 close friends & family in attendance. The staff was amazing, the food was delicious and the view was awesome. Thanks so much for making our special day even more incredible.
Food and service where very good. View was beautiful.
How did my SF native self not know about your Mon-Fri lunches till day after Thanksgiving? WOW - the heated patio with fireplace is amazing, the view unsurpassable, food is fab, service rocks! Next on my list; weekend brunch at the very same table
The for was the best that I have ever had at Roasthouse. The filet was to die for. Thanks!

This was a gift for my son at Christmas 2010. When we put the unit up during Spring 2011 and it took close to 3 hours to put up. The instructions are very poorly written along with the diagrams. However, the unit snapped a bolt during a wind storm here in IL, and the warranty do not cover "an act of God". So replacement parts need to be ordered. THe product doesn't seem to be able to endure weather conditions when winds are 30mph winds. Calling into their customer service line to get replacement parts was like root canal.

Backboard set exceptional
By Madhatter
from Upper Darby, PA
We bought it for our grandchildren, and they are young, so we needed a basket that was sturdy and adjustable. This fit the bill. I also, must complement you on your employee, who works at the Media, Pennsylvania Toy are Us. Her name is Lisa.She assisted us in getting the backboard to Pittsburg in an extremely short period. Thank you for your assistance.
Good basketball hoop
By Dan the Man
from San Rafael, CA
About Me Street Baller
Putting together the basketball hoop was tricky and took a few hours. And it takes TWO people. But my 10-year old son and I were able to do it. That said, once it's put together it works well. It wobbles a little bit when the ball hits it, but not much and that's not a problem. We like it.
Great Value
By BBall Mom

About Me Competitive Athlete
Overall this is a great value. My son loves it. The only thing I would change is to make it easier to raise/lower (he is able to do it on his own, but I have seen hoops that are easier to adjust).

Been great for us for over a year now...
By Mom to 2 Boys
from Iowa
We bought this hoop for my son's birthday last summer and it still looks and works great(we do roll it to the garage during the harsh midwest winter months). My 9 year son and his friends use it all the time and we have not had any complaints about the hoop yet. To make it easier to move when we want we do not fill the base with water or sand but simply lay two sandbags over the base which can be lifted off at any time we want to move or store the hoop.
We love it!
By texasmommyofboys
from Humble, Texas
This was a good deal. Bought this for my boys for Christmas 2011. It is very sturdy and the boys love it as do I. Give us a chance to play something together besides video games.This piece is hard to put together. It took my sister and I 3 1/2 hours Christmas Day to put this together. You need 2 of every wrench and need about 6 different wrenches. It does take two people to put it together.One of the poles was damaged during shipping and we had to take a hammer to it to get it to bend properly. I gave it 4 stars due to the time it takes putting together and the damaged piece.

Very sturdy and well built basketball goal for the price. Our grandson is really enjoying this and was super excited to get it! The shatterproof backboard and breakaway goal are really nice. My only complaint is that the instructions were not that easy to follow. In fact, there was a step that my husband and son-in-law had to figure out on their own that wasn't included in the instructions. It took 2 hours to assemble.

Hirshhorn Bubble Update
This February, when the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts reviewed the Hirshhorn Museum's plan to create a seasonal, bubble-like pavilion in its courtyard, the organization's chairman Earl A. Powell encouraged the museum to "go forth and inflate."
Now, the National Capital Planning Commission, a 12-member group that decides the fate of proposed architecture in the Washington, D.C. area, adds its support. "The semiannual transformation of the museum's central courtyard will create an exciting and unanticipated attraction along the National Mall," wrote Marcel C. Acosta, executive director of NCPC, in his recommendation.
Unanticipated, for sure. The 122-foot tall globular auditorium, which looks like something you might see in a Ghostbusters movie, will balloon through the whole of the donut-shaped museum and be a sight to see from all vantage points along the National Mall. The Hirshhorn envisions using the space during the year's warmer months from May to October to host conferences and promote the discussion and exchange of ideas.
The estimated cost for the initial construction of the pavilion is $5 million, with additional expenses expected for its biannual installation and storage. The NCPC did recommend that the museum continue to work with the architectural firm, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, on two possible designs before making the final decision.

In a house whose garden is dedicated to sculpture, architects should not try to compete, but with simplicity and un-adornment provide a sanctuary where the sculpture can stand on its own and be showcased. This is certainly a difficult task in an arena of competing spacial forms and collected diverse sensibilities for any museum. The refined cylindrical insula of the Hirshhorn with its open oculus is a pure and inviting shape that speaks with a Zen sensibility, which is as much interior as it is exterior – open and yet closed, floating yet fixed. The architecture is very much in keeping with how sculpture begs to interface with the environment. The proposed roof bubble detracts from the pure shape and statement of the building's original designers. While its proposed succulent mammary form is inviting; as a sculptural statement it is lacking. It cries out for a nipple to be complete. If form follows function, this attempt at providing a solution to a practical design need, mocks the well constructed and thoughtful intentions and of the buildings' architect. This proposed new form is one of architectural ego and personal statement at its worst.
The design review committee that approved this solution should be ashamed of their judgment. The arts are suffering, more than any other demographic, in the poor economy that we are all experiencing. Does the review committee feel that it can boost the interest of the common man in sculpture, the most difficult of all the artistic media in which to make a living, or increase museum visitation by repackaging the Hirshhorn's spacial presentation – and turning it into a circus tent? Are things so bad that the nation needs to bring itself to such a level of shame? For all artists I say, give us bread, but do not denigrate us with your circus. Do not demean the Peoples Mall, the urban landscape and the architecture of our nation's capital with a visual affront of such silliness, folly and poor taste.
"The proposed roof bubble detracts from the pure shape and statement of the building's original designers." -cliff
Change is the only constant. To create a work of sculpture or bring to fruition an architectural vision and expect it to exist within a vacuum of its own spatiotemporal point of conception for eternity is ultimately far beyond in orders of magnitude the ego presence of the bubble. The organizations and individuals who portend to defend the original vision of the artist, designer, architect, choreographer, photographer etc etc.. miss the point of such a layering of time and space as the bubble represents. The bubble represents change. It represents the possibility of an alterable future. It is creative commons as architectural manifest. It represents a new potential while non-destructively re-framing the past in a temporary manner. No ego is more destructive than that of the obstructionist, preservationist with no sense of whimsy to toss to the wind. If you think its hard to make a living in sculpture.. try dancing. If you think its difficult to defend the original vision of a physical form such as sculpture, try preserving the original vision of a choreographer. Its all relative. More Banksy less Bankster

I can't wait and will make it my mission to go to the museum when the structure is up!

If the initiatives that Project H Design has taken on so far seem largely geared toward young people — Learning Landscape playgrounds and sustainable food programs for public schools, to name but two — it may have something to do with the fact that Emily Pilloton, the founder of the two-year-old humanitarian organization, is herself only 27. But she figured out what she wanted to do early in life. "I was working in the headquarters of a retail clothing company as their U.S. store designer," Pilloton recalls, "and was stuck in a meeting arguing over which doorknobs we should choose for our next year's store renovations. That was when I realized just how misguided much of the design industry had become, and how I had lost sight of why I got into design in the first place: to solve problems. I quit the next day and never looked back."

Area chef competes on Iron Chef television show - Lake Martin Magazine
Springhouse Restaurant Executive Chef Rob McDaniel has had since July 2011 to get used to the idea of being on national television. And now, he's finally ready for all the questions about his Iron Chef experience to be answered.
"I've gotten used to people asking me questions and me not being able to answer," McDaniel said. "A lot of people know we went and competed, but that's all we've been able to say."
McDaniel was chosen to serve as sous chef for Chris Hastings, executive chef at Hot and Hot Fish Club in Birmingham, for an episode of the show Iron Chef America filmed in New York City last July.

By BASSEM MROUE, Associated Press
BEIRUT (AP) — A Syrian activist group says a suicide car bomber has killed more than 50 Syrian soldiers and pro-government gunmen.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the attack in the village of Ziyara in the central province of Hama was carried out by Jabhat al-Nusra, an al-Qaida-inspired Islamic militant group.
The death toll could not be independently verified.
State-run news agency SANA said the blast occurred outside a state-run development agency. It said Monday's blast caused deaths but gave no figure.
The Observatory also reported that an air raid on the northern town of Harem killed at least 20 rebels. It said a rebel commander was seriously wounded in the raid.

Elk Hoof Disease in Southwest Washington
Sporadic reports of lame elk or elk with overgrown or missing hooves have been received in southwest Washington since the mid 1990's. Reports of this "hoof disease" have been increasing and hunters have regularly seen and sometimes harvested an elk with this condition. At times, many individuals in a group are reported limping and showing signs of hoof disease, which has been noted in both males and females and old as well as very young animals.
There are dozens of hoof diseases known to occur in domestic livestock. Many hoof diseases are specific to the species (sheep, cattle, goats, etc.). They all have different causes (infectious, metabolic, toxic, nutritional, physical), and different modes of transmission, prevention, treatment, prognoses, etc.
WDFW is working with specialists, both here and abroad, to gain a better understanding of what is causing hoof disease in southwest Washington elk. The condition we are seeing in elk doesn't appear to be an exact match with any of the known hoof diseases in domestic or wild animals; however, it does have similarities with several of the diseases known in either wildlife or livestock. Based on interviews conducted with local veterinarians, the condition does not seem to be affecting domestic livestock in the area.
Given this complexity, there is more research needed to help us better understand and manage this problem. We are coordinating with other agencies and universities to prioritize the work needed given the limited funds. Even if we are able to determine what is causing this hoof disease, it will be very challenging to address as there are likely very few, if any, treatment options for wild elk. However, understanding the cause of elk hoof disease in southwestern Washington is an important step in understanding and managing its impacts.
Please refer to the links on this page to learn about what WDFW has done to date as well as some background information on hoof disease.

STAMFORD, Conn. -- As dozens of employees looked on, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy cut the ribbon at the official opening of the Navigators Group Inc.'s new headquarters in Stamford on Wednesday morning.
"We want Connecticut in the future to be known as a job growth state," Malloy said in brief remarks at the company's 400 Atlantic St. headquarters. He told his audience that he signed an executive order Wednesday to review state regulations that are four years old and older to see whether some can be streamlined or eliminated.
"Quite frankly, we need to get rid off a lot of that stuff," he said. "It is a multifaceted approach to making Connecticut a truly business friendly climate and to throw off the reputation we have had in the past of being overly bureaucratic."
Navigators Group President and Chief Executive Officer Stanley Galanski praised the state for its work in bringing the company to Stamford from .
"Their pro-business attitude and their pro-job creation attitude was very evident and just the integrity and they way they negotiated with us was just a fantastic experience," he said. "We're delighted to be members of the community here," he said.
The company was lured to Stamford from its former home in Rye Brook, N.Y., by the state's Next Five program, which seeks to entice companies to move to Connecticut.
The program will provide a 10-year forgivable loan of up to $8 million at no interest. Navigators Group will also receive a $3.5 million grant to help offset the $25 million relocation cost.
The company employs 87 people at the Stamford location, with an additional 35 across the state, Malloy was told at the event.
The Next Five program provides incentives and tax credits to businesses that create a minimum of 200 new full-time jobs within five years.
Navigators is expected to create slightly more than jobs within five years.
Economic Development Commissioner Catherine Smith also attended. "This important project represents high-quality jobs, millions in capital investment, and another step in our efforts to strengthen our insurance sector," said Smith. "It also shows how Connecticut corporations are making a difference in other ways. Businesses all across the state make countless contributions to the communities in which they call home — their investments in charities, arts and cultural organizations, or sporting activities have a tremendous impact locally and touch the lives of thousands."
Navigators Group, in partnership with Cos Cob-based Kids In Crisis, announced it will be the title sponsor of the Navigators Stamford KIC IT Triathlon. The June event consists of a 1.5-kilometer swim in Long Island Sound, a 40K bicycle ride and a 10K run through Stamford.
The Navigators Group is an international specialty insurance holding company with insurance company operations, underwriting management companies and operations at Lloyd's. With its headquarters in Connecticut and insurance operations based in New York and London, Navigators has offices in major insurance centers in the United States, the United Kingdom and Continental Europe, as well as representatives in China and Brazil.

I am preparing to build a PC for the first time and I was hoping to gain some insight/advice. I am relatively IT savvy, but I know the majority of the users on this forum have far more knowledge and experience than I do so please be critical. I have put together a list of components and I was hoping to get advice regarding the compatability and quality of the parts, as well as advice regarding whether I am spending more than I need to on my system. I will be using this computer for a multitude of tasks including office tasks, web browsing, music, movies, and web design using Microsoft's Visual Web Developer and Adobe's CS5 Series. I know none of these tasks require a plethora of system strength, but I want a very fast system because I am a very heavy multi-tasker. I attached a parts list in an excel file, and in a txt file for those who cannot access excel. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark.
I'll do you a favor and show everyone the parts and took the none and N/A out. People are lazy, ya gotta make them work the least possible, especially if you want them to help you. Also put color for more clarity I'd personally go with the HAF X. Perhaps a different CPU cooler too. Do not forget the Thermal paste, OCZ freeze or MX-3 or MX-2 just be great. I'd also look into an Auzentech or an ASUS Soundcard. If you need Win XP compatibility mode, Windows 7 Pro. Make sure the 12GB RAM is 3x4GB
The X-fi Titanium is probably a waste of your money unless there is a specific feature that you are buying it for. The on-board sound on that motherboard is pretty good. I would use that extra money on a better video card. However, you also don't mention being a gamer. If that is the case, just get a $25 HD5450 and be done with it. You also don't need an 850 watt power supply for the hardware you've selected. 500-600 would be perfectly fine unless you plan on adding some big video cards in the future.
Thanks CJ. No I am not going to be doing any serious gaming with this system, but I will be watching high-def movies, using adobe photoshop, and possibly CAD. I don't know too much about video cards so I just wanted to pick a mid-grade card that got good reviews.... As for the sound card, I just saw it on an existing system that I liked and I thought the sound clarity was great. My system would be hooked up to a 7.1 stereo system in my living room and I will use it for music all the time. However, if you think the motherboard will provide ample quality then I will take your advice for it.
If you listen to lotsa music, buy a good soundcard for sure The HX850 is overkill, but at least will last you a lot of time and keeps practically any option open for the future. Still, HX650 or HX750 might be a better choice.or XFX 750W is awesome too I'd suggest investing in a small SSD. 60~64GB. OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G 2.5" 60GB SATA II ML... would do great I also like gigabyte motherboards better. perhaps a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R GPU wise, look at a GT430 or GT240
Thanks n-ster. I thought the HX850 might be overkill too. I will probably take your advice and go with the 750. In regards to the SSD would you suggest this in unison with the HDD I already just for speed. If so would I want to store my OS and most used applications on the SSD and just store all data on the HDD... or how would that look? Also, thanks for the advice on the motherboard. That was one of my most time consuming decisions and I was still very unsure. Do you like Gigabyte better because of performance, durability, compatibility, etc.? I only ask because I am definitely going to look into it and I would just like to know why it is your preference so I can know how to judge the comparison. Again, thanks for all your input. I really appreciate it. Mark.
First observation: This system will be noisy. I'm thinking you don't want a whining, clicking, whirling system sitting there while you work or watch a movie. It's hard to build a high performance system that's also quiet. (since I started this, others have made recommendations. It is not my intention to disagree with them) Suggestions: *Replace that RE HDD with a couple blue 1TB in Raid 0 (SATA3 version here) and then get a green drive to backup the Raid drives to and consider a SSD drive for your boot drive. *Absolutely no reason to buy an out dated (previous generation) video card. A GTS450 can be had for not much more, just make sure the fan quiet. (Cuda support for CS5) *Case. With quietness in mind, consider the RAVEN RV02-E (make sure it's the -E version), SST-FT02 or the Antec P193 *PSU The CMPSU-850HX is a great PSU, but the AX850 is better and is actually cheaper with today's Newegg e-mail promotions. Its fan does not even turn on until it gets warm enough. I would recommend an 80+ silver or better PSU, which ever one you choose.
Thanks for all the advice Bluebumblebee. You're right... I definately would prefer to have a quiter system. Regarding the HDD I will have to do some more research. I had some noise concerns about the HDD I picked, but I picked it because I saw some great reviews and read an article about its optimum performance in a tech magazine. I have briefly looked over the HDD's you recommended and they look good and sound good from the product descriptions, but they are getting an alarming number of poor reviews. Do you have any experience with those drives? Regarding the video card, I really appreciate your advice. I didn't even realize that it was an outdated card. I will definately look into that upgrade. Regarding the PSU, thanks for the input. I will definately look into those brands. Again thanks for all your help, and if you have time please do elaborate further regarding your HDD selections. I will do further research, but in all reality I only understand a few metrics regarding HDD's so deciding which HDD is right for my system has been a real headache. Thanks, Mark.
oops, I have WD 640GB blues and they have been great and I made the assumption that the 1TB's would be too. The Samsung drives have been getting good reviews. HDD's have been the most difficult purchase decision over the years for me too. Which brand to buy seems to cycle through all of the brands over time. For further reading about building a quiet system: http://www.silentpcreview.com/
Hey BumbleBee, If you are still checking this forum I want to jump back to this HDD topic and ask you a few more questions. You recommended I use two of the blue hard-drives in a RAID-0 configuration and then back them up to the green... Would this be a RAID 1 + 0 configuration? How exactly would this scenario work? (Sorry I learned about RAID's in college and haven't really thought about them since). Also, if I had my SSD as my boot drive wouldn't I want that drive to be in the configuration for redundancy as well? Sorry I know this is probably a relatively complex explanation that may be tough to explain to someone with less knowledge. I am just trying to make my components decision and after talking to you I am intrigued by the RAID idea, but a little bit perplexed. I have read good and bad things and I just don't know if I'm fully convinced that the perceived benefit will be worth the extra money and hassle of configuration. Again, if you or any other viewers could give me any additional insight I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Mark.
what's the point in getting a 970/980 and only a gts250? I know you said you don't game much, but your already spending that much $$ why not spend the extra for a bad ass card also. 6870 for example or a gtx570
Yea I've changed my mind on that. I haven't decided what card yet, but I am trying to evaluate all the good advice I have been getting to put together a new list of components. I am almost done and will post it back on this forum so hopefully you guys can give me on last go around of advice. I have am changing nearly everything but the CPU at this point, so hopefully this next system will be a big improvement. I am just trying to keep the price under control.
If it's not the 802.11n card will be backwards compatible...being about the same price N is the better option
My idea was to give you the performance of the RE drive with quieter drives. Therefore, install OS and programs on the SSD and your data on the stripe set (RAID 0) and use a slower still drive to backup the RAID 0 drives since your data is gone if one of those drives dies. I don't know if the system could RAID 1 the stripe set and the backup drive, but I think there would be a performance hit for that. The other option would be to go with 4 drives and RAID 01 or RAID 10 them.
Thanks Bumblebee, I actually was looking into a RAID 10. I guess I just don't fully understand how that configuration works. I understand that it combines the RAID 1 and RAID 0 configurations, but logistically how would the process look? I am going to attempt to illustrate my understanding and maybe you can let me know if I'm on point at all. Say I have four drives a, b, 1, and 2. Would drives a and b be in a RAID 0 configuration while drives 1 and 2 were also in a RAID 0 configuration, and then virtual drive ab is in a RAID 1 configuration with virtual drive 12? Is this how the configuration works, or am I incorrect? Also, how much of a speed improvement would I see doing this? Could I still have an SSD boot drive in this configuration without buying 4 SSD drives, or would I even need one in this configuration? Finally, how difficult is it to program this configuration. Would a beginner like myself be able to complete the configuration using an online tutorial, or is it far too advanced....? Any insight on this stuff would be greatly appreciated considering it is one of the last details I need to iron out so I can go ahead and order my parts. Thanks again to Bumblebee and everyone else I really appreciate all of the valuable feedback I am getting here. Mark.
Thanks Bumblebee. I have been reading quite a bit on the subject, but I embarrassingly hadn't even checked wiki and that was a very helpful article. However, you recommended I use the SSD bootdrive. This is a quote from wiki "[edit] Efficiency (potential waste of storage)The usable capacity of a RAID 10 array is , where N is the total number of drives in the array and Smin is the capacity of the smallest drive in the array." Obviously I wouldn't want my array to have a maximum capacity of 1.5 x SSD-Boot-Drive, so are you recommending I keep it out of the array? Would I just want to back it up on an external?
Ok so I after all the advice and further research this is my updated components list. I am pretty happy with it (other than the price), but I just wanted to put it back out there to everyone so anyone can chime in with any last minute advice. I will probably start ordering comoponents within the next week. Please if anyone sees any compatability issues, or an individual part that they think is poor please let me know. Again, thanks everyone for all your help. Mark.

Good catch n-ster. Mark, you've said this is your first build, and it is obvious that you are trying to build a powerful do-it-all workstation. Almost no one really talks about building a workstation, but there is a lot of talk about gaming systems. Both types of systems are high performance, but a workstation should not be OC'd where as it is assumed that a gaming system will be. The memory that you chose is great, no matter what, but is designed for gaming. I looked on Newegg last night and saw 12GB kits for ~$140 that will do just fine. The other thing that I wonder is if you really need a 6 core 12 thread system. Please finish the following sentence: I want to be able to.....

-- Thanksgiving is -- time to give thanks not sure why exactly but that's what the hallmark people tell me.
-- five reasons why should be thankful the president was reelected.
One it's like staring off a bit dated one shot to -- you think if he lost he wasn't gonna come back in eight years to run again.
With grayer hair making him three times more trustworthy -- Kofi -- and -- mean who knows so it's like having dinner with the in lies you want to get it over with that he can go often become emperor of Europe.
-- word out 50% less racist.
Although I doubt the left we'll see it that way -- -- that that they think re electing Obama makes this more racist because we actually forced him to run well we should have anointed him or the very least recognize that he was born among us to forgive our sins amen.
Three Eva Longoria can now run for senate and get up Twitter if she promises young voters think it's the other parent's health care -- fifty she could be president.
Watch Obama become more conservative as -- it's -- team.
You think the president really wanted to date in Occupy Wall Street held though they'll call -- -- deceive his grandsons are of age.
Five Obama's dog is safe for another four years.
If it's still the same dog draw the best way to hide -- canine diet eat the same dog over and over again and replace it with the same type.
It's what she's doing to Jasper.
-- to think gun rights Erica that.
It's good that he got reelected because who's gonna run again anyway well sure -- -- -- lived there at the public groups are going to be very happy he got reelected the illegals -- -- have because they'll be amnesty in the second term no question about it but here's one that no one.
Has really talked about I think that's gonna happen the second term.
I think he's gonna set up an infrastructure bank.
-- set that up they'll put.
Billions and billions of dollars taxpayer dollars into -- and the unions are -- are the ones we're gonna benefit from a he's gonna -- -- union contracts through the an infrastructure bank.
-- god knows we need infrastructure help what can the American taxpayers -- in other words it's the stimulus that he did the first time around.
The second there's only 7% unions in the construction -- -- -- and guess what -- guess what they do -- benefited from the stimulus bill benefit from a you know what's great about this is like this is like a Thanksgiving dinner where -- accidentally introduced politics into it yet.
That was on the -- of oil content being not to do I got my it's getting cold -- sorry.
It let let me just say I think is a blessing -- the president got reelected for all of you realize that the more important it.
You know you can say how he divides the country -- division against the whopper Jefferson died in nine and yet the Republicans have divided the country with the 47%.
Percent 3% so I think there's new word for dividing the country goes clearly to the Republican they do that and it's.
At forty separate us how to get a lot of setting yourself dug dug out a bush ever -- that they divided if you take Mitt Romney's words and been you know put it in the blender and get it cut cut cut comes out like this stuff right here.
And say that -- he did -- He wasn't talking about Osama people who receive benefits that's we've talked about he wasn't dividing the country.
By the way all we had to listen to this year was President Obama land back the rich he's been openly hostile to businesses that Kelly got elected was crap class warfare is done and I class warfare is he now wondering generally class -- won't -- -- -- -- -- absolutely -- -- -- -- come -- Occupy Wall -- -- where did you get the 991% that's -- -- Occupy Wall Street which was all about class when that's only wants to leverage section of 1%.
I once did more than that we know that it's an off with raising taxes I want to thank you haven't -- -- on Thanksgiving Day.
Dana but I'm thankful for is that at the election is over.
And and that it was decisive and that he won -- -- -- Republican Party is going to have to regroup I think that that was good for everybody get it done over with and move on.
-- -- Because if you if you will.
And I that think that it's -- I think people are.
Thanksgiving will be a good time to just press the reset button and Siemens.
And you also if he had lost.
The media would be devastated and we'd have to deal with that that I would be thankful for that I think I have I.
I'm not thankful that he got reelected I'm sorry I can't -- it's a good thing for the Republican Party I don't I don't think it's a good thing for the country I'm not thankful for.
I don't care that it gives us four more years to regroup I think the damage he's gonna do in four years is going to be pretty -- to a you know history I'm not getting hit the reset button.
I'm going to hit the button on the box so wine and where some clients get through the next four years and just -- -- all real social -- -- party stands for.
That's you know the thing -- we don't have that problem or you shouldn't -- No -- we don't that they don't have the messenger they are message you know you guys I can ever had a message but yet -- tiger them.
I agree with you.
Tiger with -- I figured if -- Republican Party doesn't have.
The of the proper focus on -- message there -- it's a splinter group as far right who believes -- one thing there's that's OK senator.
That's that's okay establishment that believes in something completely different but I agree with -- and the next four years can be really that I.
The left has a message its dependency politics they've got a message and -- messenger our message which is not dependency politics.
They don't like it people like did eats well if you buy a house and you take your mortgage deduction you know that -- that you're -- -- And it looks like the Democrats might actually do that and I'm grateful that Romney's -- flat tax flat tax -- and.
I had to say though I I don't mind that there is that a division on the right you is that -- I think it's good.
And I think about what's more -- is finding a leader that is inspirational Ronald Reagan.
But you'll run rate that is disagreed with a lot of stuff got Reagan did yes nobody does it matters when -- -- -- a split factions on the right.
The vote turnout doesn't happen because of people who don't like that the candidate saying I'm not -- we have three million fewer boats this -- on the -- with.
Well I think -- got so it's a lot outside and he's definitely separate from the right can become president -- that.
I think some -- from the right will be in the next president.
Doesn't get to that point I knew about this dependency politics and a President Obama Marty tried to limit -- charitable deductions and it's Thanksgiving Day.
That's gonna prevent a lot of people from getting to a lot of very good causes -- this is a democratic idea.
So Bob I'm interested to see what happens with -- fiscal cliff I you know if I pay for all these social programs they're gonna limit deduction to -- I.
Think it's terribly taken it's a deduction revenue the dollar your hedge fund people I think it's just RB did you -- number two on your list of things not to bring a fiscal cliff yeah.
But there was a -- on the one name and some really cool guy that's come on over to dance a lot of money gap fiscal cliff that he's going to be -- -- some records.
Greg -- to get issued -- now this is yeah I do -- -- get out air coming up what year.

Mt. Healthy
Green Again
The Mt. Healthy Urban Tree Commission began as a group of citizens who wanted to see more trees planted in this community. In 2011, the Mt. Healthy City Council passed an ordinance officially establishing the Commission for the purpose of making recommendations and disseminating information on the planting and care of trees in the city.
We offer assistance with tree selection and care, as well as advice on what to do about tree problems. Our goal is to aid both the city and private homeowners in putting more trees into our landscape.
Would you like a tree? The Urban Tree Commission is looking for a few residents who would like a new tree planted in the space between the sidewalk and street in front of their homes. We will plant the tree for you, and you would be expected to care for it. The city has agreed to pay half of the cost, and the resident would pay the other half. You would need to commit to watering the tree weekly for the first two years. Please contact us if you are interested in participating.
We meet the second Monday of each month at 7 p.m., and would love to have you join us.
Where we'll be meeting in 2013:
- February: No meeting
- March 11: City Hall, second floor
- April 8: City Hall, second floor
- May 13: Community Room (by the pool)

Job Interview Tips
This section is designed to help you interview effectively. Find out how to prepare and make a great impression, read through common interview questions and create insightful questions of your own. You can also get advice on how to negotiate your salary and select references.
There are some standard interview questions that most of us will be familiar with and expect to crop up in an interview.
If your CV and cover letter have been impressive enough to get you an interview, the job could be yours – provided you perform well at the interview.
Managers typically have a direct impact on the morale and success of their teams.
It's the interview moment every job seeker dreads. Just when you thought you had them eating out of the palm of your hand, you're hit with a question straight out of left field.
Most people experience a degree of nervousness before and during a job interview. Nerves are a natural response to an important event, and simply indicate that you care about the role on offer.
The key to a successful interview is preparation. Researching the company, understanding the role and offering polished responses shows initiative, enthusiasm and a keen interest in the job.
The interview is your opportunity to convince a potential employer that you are the strongest candidate amongst tough competition. No matter how compelling you appear on paper, it is the impression you make in person that is the deciding factor.
To demonstrate at an interview that you are the right fit for the role, preparation is vital. Use the common interview questions below to prepare succinct, relevant responses; matching your skills and attributes to the needs of the company and role wherever possible.
Preparing relevant, insightful questions to ask at the interview shows initiative and your enthusiasm for the role on offer.
To negotiate your new salary from a position of strength, preparation is crucial. You must have clear and realistic expectations of what your skills and experience are worth and be prepared to ask your potential employer for what you want.
Employers use psychometric testing to help determine who will make the best fit for a role. Psychometric tests measure your competencies, motivations, intelligence, preferences and personality traits under standardised conditions to create a more complete picture of you alongside your resume, interview answers and referee comments.
Referees play a crucial role in your job search by representing you to a prospective employer. Their references can make or break your chances of securing your next role, so it is critical that you choose the right people.

-The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.Mr. MMA News Poster, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone at this forum site is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
