Security Shield
Security Shield Description
Our malware experts have dug into Security Shield and found that it contains no ability to remove viruses and protect you from malware or any of the other functions that it markets. However, Security Shield has shown a marked proclivity towards traditional rogue security program tactics, including presenting itself as a free product while attempting to steal money by forcing you to register it. Since Security Shield hasn't even a drop of positive features, you should immediately uninstall Security Shield with a genuine security program to protect your computer and your wallet.
The Emptiness Behind Security Shield's Shiny Marketing
As far as rogue security products go, Security Shield has an exceptionally resilient and multifaceted marketing scheme. You'll find glowing references to Security Shield on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, as well as scattered throughout the web in general software storehouse sites. Security Shield claims to be able to perform a multitude of unrelated PC security and maintenance functions, but this isn't terribly surprising, since, although it would be difficult to program a product that had such functions, it's a cinch to market functions that aren't present in the first place! Despite Security Shield's various claims and the persistently positive marketing veneer that it hides behind, Security Shield isn't capable of performing even one of the functions that it advertises.
Don't Let Security Shield's Fancy Image Seduce You into Giving Away Your Wallet
Like other forms of scamware from the WinWeb Security family, Security Shield's only real purpose is to steal money and credit card information. You should, therefore, avoid giving away either of these in your attempts to remove Security Shield and stop any of the many problems that it may cause while on your computer. Security Shield hasn't been linked directly to older scamware like System Security 2012, Antivirus Defence, Disk Antivirus Professional, Smart Protection 2012, Personal Shield Pro, System Adware Scanner 2010, Smart Fortress 2012, Windows Attacks Preventor, Winweb Security, System Progressive Protection, Attentive Antivirus, Security Shield 2012, Windows Secure Kit 2011, Antiviral Factory 2013, Security Monitor 2012, Antivirus System, System Tool 2011, Live Essential Platinum, Antivirus Security Pro 2013, System Care Antivirus, Antimalware - Proven Antivirus Protection, MS Removal Tool, Advanced PC Shield 2012, Security Sphere 2012, AVASoft Antivirus Professional, Total Security 2009, System Security, Security Tool, Antivirus Security Pro, Live Security Platinum, Microsoft Antivirus 2013, Total Security, Security Scanner 2012, Advanced Security Tool 2010, Security Shield/Scanner and Windows Ultra-Antivirus.
Typical rogue security program dangers that Security Shield variants may incorporate include:
- Creating fake error messages or infection warnings at random opportunities.
- Blocking programs, such as anti-virus scanners, Notepad or Task Manager, under the fiction that they've been infected or damaged.
- Hijacking your web browser to redirect you to one of Security Shield's websites, as noted earlier.
- Setting your web browser's homepage to a Security Shield website and refusing to let you change it back.
- Constant requests for you to spend money on Security Shield to fix any or all of the above problems.
However, there's no need to pay Security Shield's rather expensive price to delete it; instead, you can delete Security Shield with any sufficiently-competent anti-malware program.

Thread: What did I do wrong??
What did I do wrong??
Okay. I was playing at Talisman from 10 AM till 6:30 PM... So, a span of 8 1/2 hours of non-stop badminton.
Well, I've been moving around, practicing my footwork and etc., when my left foot lost grip. I ignored it because it happens to me with the conditions of these "public" gyms (dusty )
When I started to play, my foot started to tingle and as the game progressed, it really started to hurt. When I was done, my foot started to blister and I couldn't walk home! I have to ice, and it is as we speak, so I was wondering if this is just a day-to-day thing or do I need to go to the doctor? It swelled up a little but now, it's returning back to normal but it still hurts and when I rotate my ankle, I hear cracks. I fear that it is a sprain and I can't play for a while. Also, my back is spasming (???) from time to time but I usually get that from not stretching so I expected that.
Anyways, what do you think it is and how can I prevent it from happening again so that it doesn't lead to a broken ankle or whatnot?Last edited by versionone_; 06-28-2005 at 11:44 PM.
Should probably see a doctor..
Especially if it got so bad that you couldn't walk on it.
How to prevent this from happening? Improve flexibility from stretching, improve strength, and don't play to the limits of your body.. 8.5 hours sounds quite excessive
next time, when u think u have twisted and sprained your joint, stop playing or sit down on bench and check it out. One day rest immediately is better than 10 days rest after u push it too far.
You shouldn't over-train. When you are fatigued there is a higher chance of injury. If you are training for serious competitions then injuries will set back your progress much more than any incremental benefit from over-long stretches of playing. Crackling sounds (or crepitus) are common after a bad ankle sprain. If you know how to compress and ice the area, you don't really need to see a doc for the time being, but you definitely need to rest the ankle. If after 2 weeks or so the swelling does not subside, and it still hurts a lot to walk, then there may be a fracture, do go see a doc then.
Blistered feet eh? Runners place advice placing Vaseline on their feet or just let it form a hard callouse (like mine! ). I'd go with the Vaseline thing though. I really think you've overtrained. Still, I think there are other things to it. You stated that you haven't stretched, a very important factor in performance. Do you warm up until you sweat before stretching? You should also stretch and cool down after playing/training. About the foot question, here's a link on symptons and advice....
I recommend just spinning your ankle once in a while. Place the tip of your toe on the floor and just rotate your ankle both clockwise and counter. Okay, that's all the practical advice I can give.
To answer the question "what did i do wrong", maybe nothing in particular-- but you did set up conditions for something to go wrong all on it's own... Just keep in mind that 8 hours is a long time to do anything-- fun as it is, you have to pace yourself. Playing until exhaustion is not always worth it!
Go check with a doctor! When you say tingle, do you mean a tingle due to the blisters? If it's in the ankle, I think it's quite common-- usually it happens with a bad twist, but even more often with a "flat footed" landing, especially when the joint is cold or tired.
I always stretch for a long time until I get sweaty, but my friends are very impatient and wanted to play until sun down, so I couldn't properly stretch. The tingling is from the blisters (pretty sure) but right now, the swelling has subsided and I don't think I'm gonna play for quite some time.
But just to be sure, I guess I shall see a doctor then. How fun that's going to be
Thanks for the advice people!

Phoenix Housing Market Update: 4/22/12
They say what goes up must come down. This was true for the Phoenix housing market through much of 2009-2011. It seemed like anytime we got any traction with upward pricing some external market force (i.e. expiration of the federal housing tax credit, robo-signing scandal) would push values right back down again.
With the worst of the foreclosure crisis behind us (trustee's deeds for last month were the lowest since Q3 of 2007 – see chart below) many housing experts believe Phoenix is on the slow road to recovery.
Further proof is in median pricing. According to Mike Orr's Cromford Report graph below, it bottomed in May, 2011 at $108,000 and has been on the rise ever since. As we sit today median pricing is at $135,500.
This is great news for home sellers. However, as a fix and flipper rapidly rising values make me cringe. According to Mike Orr's mid-April summary:
"The current price level is now 14.3% higher than last year on April 15. We reiterate our forecast that positive annual appreciation will be recorded throughout 2012 is likely to exceed 25% by September 2012."
When prices start going up like this everyone starts speculating; owner-occupants, buy and holders and fix and flippers. I'd prefer a more stable rise in values.
But because of the lack of inventory (there are less than 9,000 active single-family homes for sale on the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service in the greater-Phoenix area as of today) a feeding frenzy has ensued at almost every price point. We're selling almost 9,000 houses a month, leaving us with about a one-month supply.
Which is why I find the "there's another wave of foreclosures coming" story widely reported by the media to be so hysterical. This market could handle a tsunami of 15,000 – 20,000 foreclosures. They'd be devoured in 3 months.

Lecture: Islam, Modernity and the Enlightenment: A New Perspective
The Council for Arab-British Understanding, in collaboration with the Foundation for Science, Civilisation and Technology, hosts:
'Islam, Modernity and the Enlightenment: A New Perspective'
By Samer Akkach
Thursday 3rd May 2007, 6:30pmLecture Hall, Royal Asiatic Society14 Stephenson WayLondon NW1 2HDUnited Kingdom
Nearest Underground: Euston/Euston Square/Warren Street
Samer Akkach is Associate Professor in Architecture, History and Theory, and Founding Director of the Centre for Asian and Middle Eastern Architecture (CAMEA) at the University of Adelaide, Australia. He is the author of Cosmology and Architecture in Premodern Islam and Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi; Islam and the Enlightenment.
Before the wholesale adoption of the European Enlightenment ideas by nineteenth-century Arab and Ottoman intellectuals, Muslim scholars of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries had their own intellectual program that dictated their exchanges with the West. It influenced the choices they had made and enabled them to deal confidently with the new emerging ideas. In a sense, it can be said that they had their own enlightenment. While the experience of the European Enlightenment is widely recognized as being most important for the emergence of modernity and the making of the modern world as we know it, the concurrent intellectual developments in the Islamic world, which is equally important for understanding Islamic modernity, are still largely unknown. This talk will explore aspects of the intellectual history of the Arab-Ottoman world in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries that shed new lights on the roots of modernity in Islamic thought, offering a new perspective that can redefines the beginning of modern history of the Middle East.
Chaired by Professor Mohamed M El-Gomati the deputy Chair of the Foundation for Science Technology and Civilisation (FSTC).

All of a twenty million dollar ad by airing and only five swing states boss the controversy surrounding this Obama super pac cancer at a growing nationwide.
The president speaking later this -- will he meet calls to denounce it.
Welcome everyone I'm Stuart Varney in for Neil Cavuto and this is -- world it all started with this.
She passed away in -- two days.
I do not think Mitt Romney realizes what he's done anymore.
And I and furthermore do not think Mitt Romney is concerned.
The Romney campaign today calling this bad -- a pro Obama -- dispensable.
And accusing the president and his allies of perpetuating lies.
But it's -- the Obama campaign is now trying to distance itself from back -- take a listen.
I don't know the facts of when -- -- ex wife got sick or when she died I'd certainly don't know the specifics.
This man's case we have about as much to do with the priorities adds the super pac ads as Michael as we do with Michael Phelps legal metal plastic I can't speak to the -- -- is dead direct involvement to just last -- the president's deputy campaign manager Stephanie cut off.
Held a conference -- with the man featured in that -- detailing his case to reports.
A -- follow them also appearing on the campaign website for the Obama team.
To senior Romney advisor Bay Buchanan they welcomed the program.
The -- -- and they have not pulled this -- the White House will not repudiated.
What do you make of this.
Well it's it's a clear statement about the president himself he refuses to take responsibility he refuses to take any action.
To remove something that he knows well is up -- allies against his opponent.
And -- -- suggest a character issue here in my personal opinion.
That a man will take no responsibility you can't trust what would his campaign says you can't trust that they put on the air then in the press asked them about it as you pointed out.
They lie about it so this is a campaign of deceit.
The great man of hope and change has after three years of a failed presidency a -- to one of total deceit in an effort to deceive the voters about his opponent because he has nothing to run all one.
Can give no reason to the voters for -- to vote for him.
They I wanna go back to Stephanie content deputy campaign manager.
She has said that she doesn't know the facts of -- and this man's wife died.
-- and let me play you a sound bite from a conference school which featured the man -- soft -- Right.
It seemed like there are people would know concern about what they're failing still -- Now turn to call back -- just different.
Hey thank you they -- definitely appreciate you hit -- sharing your area.
There is an inexplicable there's a link it's right -- despite what Stephanie -- that.
This is astounding to me you know they act goes up and they say well we had nothing to do with it it's a pack arm's length.
Then they -- but they know fully well that that the ad is being funded.
By fundraisers -- are being done by Obama's cabinet his own secretaries.
And and so they're out there raising the money.
Then they should we knew nothing about it when we're totally moved from a only to find out they -- intricately involved in that they knew all about it.
They know well that this this ad is full of lies and certainly if they didn't know one week ago they -- today.
And they still haven't pulled it I have to ask yet.
What what do you think is cool and all over there what kind of campaign can -- 607080.
Million dollars.
The managed -- United States and grace that it most -- in the world and all actually can do is it to launch day of the one lie after another they ask.
That's very I have to ask you this I voted Democrat today on the ad saying that this is just a conversation within the beltway in other -- This -- will not stick in fact they will win with it -- response.
Well clearly they wouldn't keep running in unless they think that that's that's the answer you know -- -- this is that this is a campaign strategy.
When you don't have anything what to run -- want if indeed the voters in -- disgusting that candidates discuss the issues that are on the minds of voter.
Which is that they're scared about their future their economy is.
Is terrible if that's the issue Obama loses so what can they do they have to destroy their opponent -- -- to destroy Mitt Romney.
Make it so people wouldn't consider voting for -- that is true that is how far how low the president United States.
Barack Obama has -- that's all this campaign's going about this is just the beginning of it but I think what's key is that Mitt Romney.
Keep focusing trying to get the American people that there is hope.
That he does understand the problem that he can put America back to work.
And then you know if they just get -- -- Bay Buchanan with the Romney campaign right thank you very much indeed thank you you are welcome.

Mobile donations have been a hot topic ever since they were used by The Red Cross and others to collect large sums of money to help with earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. But disaster relief is not the only sector that can benefit from the ease of use of mobile payments and donations.
Popular radio show This American Life used mobile donations at the end of last year to double the number of donations brought in to fund their free podcast. And while that boost may not have been significant on the show's bottom line, the success of the program shows how much easier mobile makes it for consumers to give small sums of money.

If consumers are reticent to make purchases with their phones, they certainly haven't been demonstrating it this week. After the horrible earthquake in Haiti on Tuesday, individuals around the globe have been trying to donate money to relief efforts. The response has been generally impressive, but most surprising has been the outpouring that has been delivered via mobile phones.
Over $4 million have been donated to the Red Cross in the last three days via mobile phones. That's good news for Haitians, and also a big win for those in the mobile payment space.

- Early diagnosis may enable treatment before symptoms appear—intervention that could halt the advance of the disease. Scientists also hope to target drugs to particular pathologies as they pop up in the brain.
- A large number of potential treatments are in the research pipeline, and investigators believe some of them are likely to be on the market within 10 years or even sooner.
Kassie Rose, 30 years old, faces a frightening prospect: if a genetic coin toss fails to go her way, she could lose her mind within a decade or two. A mutation that causes Alzheimer's disease runs in her family, the DeMoes of North Dakota. The odds of any DeMoe harboring the mutation are 50–50, and if the mutation is present, the chances of developing early-onset Alzheimer's—the type that erodes memory before age 65—are 100 percent.
Five of the six DeMoe siblings—Rose's father and her aunts and uncles—have the mutation. One man is in a nursing home in his mid-50s; a second, younger, is on his way. A sister in her late 40s is already noticing her first symptoms. The next generation is tortured with the decision of whether to get tested. Rose, for now, chooses not to know. After all, she is unlikely to benefit much from the information: Alzheimer's remains incurable and, largely, unpreventable as well.

She loves the ring as much as she loves me
The signature cut diamond is beautiful and shines in any light, beautiful diamond and setting combination.
She loves the ring
Great service and great turn around time! She absolutely loves the ring!
My bother loved the ring. And I'm sure his future wife it's going to love it too.
Proposal Coming 11/23
I am delighted with the support I received from the two women I spoke with to get the ring ordered. And the ring is gorgeous. It is sitting secure at home waiting to go on a cruise and then to be given to its final recipient on 11/23. So don't know what her reaction will be, but I'm certainly hoping she'll be thrilled and impressed with the quality of the ring.
Price vs Grade
Diamonds have professionals assigning quality. Just go with quality & costs. Blue Nile has good prices for the quality you are buying.
Love it
My ring is everything I wished for. I originally got a different ring and exchanged it in. The exchange process was simple. I love the ring and the diamond is amazing.
Exceptional, delighted
Brilliant, Perfect cut and looks great, quality as promised
Exceptional beauty, quality, and service!
The Signature Round Diamond engagement ring I purchased from Blue Nile is truly exceptional. The sparkle of the diamond is absolutely incredible! I sacrificed a bit of size for superior color, cut, and clarity; after I saw the ring in person, I had zero regrets about my decision. The ring sends "fire" in every direction. I was also more than satisfied with the platinum setting and the craftsmanship involved during the creation of my girlfriend's custom ring. As you probably know by now, Blue Nile's website is exceptional and so is the quality and service you will receive. Don't be worried about ordering online from Blue Nile - your expectations will likely be exceeded. I was also amazed at the speed of the overnight shipping. Blue Nile delivered the ring across country in less than 24 hours!
The best out there!
The diamond was awesome! I took the ring to an appraiser when I got it. They were very impressed and said that it was everything the cert said it was. They said that if they appraised it, they would of classified it as an H (vs. the I). They ask what I paid for it, and were surprised when I told them. They did a search for a similar diamond on the wholesale listing site and showed me the deal I got (huge savings). All in all, excellent item for the money and customer service was great. This is the first review I ever written review for anything, and I did it because Im extremely impressed with Blue Nile. As for Signature Diamond, its worth the extra money, every penny!
Absolutely beautiful engagement ring
I shopped around first at 'your friend in the diamond business' but decided to go with Blue Nile. Due to an online ordering error, the diamond I had originally selected was unavailable after payment had been sent. Customer service contacted me ASAP and offered me a comparable 'signature' series diamond in its place for no additional cost! It's truly stunning. Amazing diamond at an unbeatable price.
I purchased a round signature ideal and it looks amazing and shines brilliantly.
Ring looked great, but I think the item could have been more polished prior to shipping.
Surprised Future Mrs.
This diamond is absolutely stunning. I received it next day, you really can't beat the price for the quality of the stone.
I placed a custom order for this ring in yellow gold and the sales associates were very friendly and provided outstanding customer service. I never felt pressured to buy anything. She loves the ring!
Awesome purchase!!!
I am glad I found blue nile. I am very very happy with my purchase. It's as beautiful as shown in the picture. Thanks blue Nile!!!! :-)
Simply Amazing!!!
By far the most amazing diamond I've ever seen in person! The fire, brilliance, clarity, and quality are unbelievable! My fiance absolutely loves it and still can't believe it's real! Thank you Blue Nile!!
Scintillating Solitaire in Elegant Setting!
The beauty of this diamond is breathtaking!! The ring looks exactly as shown on the website. The staff at Blue Nile are unbelievably helpful, providing pressure-free advice.The ring, ensconced in a beautiful burgundy wooden box, arrived promptly. I love the website and staff of Blue Nile.
She said yes!
Brilliant!!! She was very happy with the rock and setting. BN made the whole experience very easy and pain-free. Would reco to other for sure.
Highly recommended!!
Fine quality diamond at a fair price. Great customer service and shipping. Very happy!
She loved the engagement ring
the shopping experience with phone support was helpful and diamond was delivered on time
Gorgeous! Love it, out of my expectation.
Very sparkling, especially under sunshine.
Amazing Experience!
Absolutely gorgeous. Will never hesitate to buy from Blue Nile again in the future
She Loves Her Engagement Ring
I did a lot of research before I decided on a diamond. I was very impressed with Blue Nile's signature ideal diamonds. Also the online chat was very helpful. I used it a lot to ask questions. They made buying a diamond easier.
Went from completely clueless to perfect engagement ring
It's such an amazing diamond! The selection was excellent and allowed me to find exactly the right thing. I actually had the decision narrowed down to two stones and was torn over which would be better, but called and talked to a very helpful sales rep who guided me towards the right decision. Thank you!

Large room, with a massive and really comfortable bed. Great location.
Nice and professional team that they let us have early check in and everything was fantastic they had titanic show in Luxer which was unique and interesting. The buffet has tons of international food and high quality.
woodland hills
It was close to other hotels that we chose to patronize rather than our own Luxor.
Check in was great, cervantes could not have been better!
Love the Luxor. Cool hotel and great location.
Everyting was awesome
First room (pyramid) had a big leak, but was moved and upgraded without asking for the upgrade. Great style inside, and clean.
Very enjoyable stay
I like the Egyptian theme.
Really nice staff upgraded us after coming into a dirty room

Large room, with a massive and really comfortable bed. Great location.
People trying to sell you things in the hotel constantly! (but this seemed to happen in most hotels that we walked through).
All great
No problems at all
Nice and professional team that they let us have early check in and everything was fantastic they had titanic show in Luxer which was unique and interesting. The buffet has tons of international food and high quality.
It was close to other hotels that we chose to patronize rather than our own Luxor.
Restroom facilities were inadequate, taking multiple attempts to discard matter. The hotel had a very strong and invasive order, restaurants closed at 2pm in the afternoon, television only played promotions offered at Luxor and when asked about the cable, the front desk said we were responsible for asking that the television be reset...unfortunately we were checking out the next day! I will not stay there again...EVER on my dollar!!!
Check in was great, cervantes could not have been better!
I did not like the cash only policy with booking with you, I wanted room service but did not have a large amount of cash so I had to go downstairs.
Love the Luxor. Cool hotel and great location.
Horrible parking condition. After driving around for an hour, I couldnt find parking space. Tried valet parking, no luck. Ended up parking few blocks away. They should make sure hotel guests have enough reserved parking space.
Everyting was awesome
First room (pyramid) had a big leak, but was moved and upgraded without asking for the upgrade. Great style inside, and clean.
Was upgraded to a tower room, so lost the uniqueness of a triangle room. WiFi not in rooms, only on casino floor
Very enjoyable stay
All ok.
I like the Egyptian theme.
I don't like that smoking is allowed in the casino. It gets into restaurants and bars too because it's in the air. Even Ukraine has recently passed a smoking ban. Allowing people to smoke in public indoor places kills non-smokers through second-hand smoke and makes the air crap for everyone.
Really nice staff upgraded us after coming into a dirty room
Dim lights in room n gave us a dirty room
being on the strip
having to change trams to get back to the hotel
The egyptian theme is always nice.
It's kind of a run down hotel. I wouldn't say it's as dumpy as Excalibur, but it's still not in the best of shape.
Convenience and availability of activities
Time share resort reps attacking u on every corner
Lax VIP table, pool
The price
The ceiling leaked in my room all night from the rain, and the heat was broken. They returned $20 to me for inconvenience of the leaky roof keeping me awake all night. That hotel needs a serious upgrade. I have stayed in almost every hotel on the strip and this one was the worst !!
Funky building
Waiting for the train link at around 7pm which never arrived
This hotel is really cheap for what it is, specially with its awesome location in Vegas
It actually doesn't look as good and fancy when you get to the room ...
Nice rooms(not fresh) with good view. This hotel is situated on strip street so not far from main exhibitions. Free self parking
Obsessive staff close to reception which asking you "check in/out" every day.
The rooms were quiet and clean and comfortable. Close to the hotel that had our shows so we could walk easily. Closest to the airport.
The smell in the hotel is an overpowering bad car freshener smell. It stunk. Terrible. Pick a new sent! Also, very dark and not fresh in the lobby and casino. the other hotels are brighter and cheerier feeling.
location is good,room service is good attitude
Excellent Customer Service on arrival. Free upgrade. Booklet of coupons.
Cheeky to complain about the free upgrade but the fact is was a smoking room took a small edge off of it (I do not know if all rooms are smoking permitted). Cannot complain otherwise.
Clean rooms, easy to find your way around, good restaurants, casino floor not crowded, great atmosphere
Annoying people selling time shares. They constantly approach you and push their "deals".

Question by Phil J: How are Hospitals Responding to Health Insurance Exchanges?
I'm researching for a paper the topic of health insurance exchanges, a prominent component of the PPACA. Does anybody know how hospitals have responded to or prepared for health insurance exchanges? Any news articles from hospital or healthcare officials who have shed light on how these will exchanges will/have affected them? Thanks!

Call you state insurance commisioner office and ask for health ifo. They will mail you a form where you ask the question or state the problem and answer it for you.Or,call the Fed. gov't hotline for health insurance and ask them Depending if this Fed or State related.

Wood Tavern
Online Reservations
We had an early reservation for lunch and got a window table as requested...very pleasant! Wait staff is exceptional. We weren't rushed, even though people were waiting to be seated.
Our waitress gave us the perfect wine recommendation. Service was excellent. The gnocchi was fantastic, as well as the pulled pork and wild rice soup - we want the recipe! Our only hesitation in giving a five star rating is the noise level - too loud to be very romantic for an anniversary celebration. You have to really lean in to hear your table mate speaking, and have to talk loudly to be heard. And, rib eye was ordered medium, being assured that it would be pink, not red. It came very rare, and had to be sent back. We would go back for sure, but not order steak again.
We love Wood Tavern, it's friendly staff, laid back vibe, excellent food and cocktails. Wish it were easier to get a table but it makes sense that it's not! Super popular.
Very nice to celebrate a 72nd birthday!! Especially yummy appetizers & loved the crusted halibut.
The food was amazing - cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and elegantly presented. The service was amiable, courteous, and timely. We had a romantic and leisurely evening at Wood Tavern, and will be back!
Great bar with knowledgeable bartenders. Food is well thought out and excellently prepared! Service is friendly.
A close friend highly recommended this restaurant and I was not disappointed. We had every course they offered, which were paced well and never seemed like they were rushing us out to turn the table, they wanted us to enjoy the meal. Our selections from the butcher block and firsts were fantastic. The main dishes that we got were very good but were not the items that stood out in the overall experience. Dessert was also very good. The service was great and prices were extremely reasonable for the high quality food they serve. I would highly recommend this restaurant and we will be going back again.
The best place to bring a special guest. The best food in the East Bay and serves the best Bloody Mary's with a beer chaser. If you don't have reservations for dinner, you can sit at the bar but go early as the limited seating fills up fast.
I made reservations for my wife Carole and two fellow grade school teachers from SF. Two burgers and a pastrami later, my wife reported two more converts to the Wood Tavern mystique.
The food and service is exceptional here. A definite neighborhood gem!!!
They take usual combinations and crank it up a notch, e.g, who has not had figs with goat cheese &/or prosciutto &/or balsamic? Here the figs are bruleed, the goat cheese is a mousse, and the balsamic is aged. Portions are LARGE. The perfectly cooked pork belly starter: 5 LARGE cubes with pressed watermelon & watercress. 2 of us shared 4 starters, 1 main dish (of which we took 1/2 home) & 3 glasses of wine for $105 before tip. An excellent deal for very well executed food in the Bay Area. But the tables are very small and close together, so the noise level and the crowded feeling was a bit of a down side for us. My recommendation depends on whether you are in the mood for someplace "vibrant or energetic" or in the mood to focus on the food.
Wood Tavern is ALWAYS a fantastic spot to enjoy great food, people watching, a business conversation, or just a leisurely dinner or lunch with good friends and a glass of wine. The food is superb, with every attention to detail paid to ingredients and presentation, and the service attentive.
Terrific food, great drinks and friendly service. A little on the pricey side, especially for lunch, but well worth it. Will definitely return.
All the food here is fantastic, but it is the burger that keeps me coming back. A hamburger is a very humble and simple dish which is is why the outstanding hamburger at Wood Tavern is so impressive. It has all the usual parts -- bread, meat, cheese --but it is just juicy, and wonderful and head and shoulders above all the competition. The scrappy, crisp little shoe string fries are a perfect accompaniment.
First time to this restaurant for lunch. Enjoyed the warm feeling of the dining room. There is a wonderful smell of a wood burning oven. Nice wine list . The bloody Mary was so good. I tried the "fried pork belly" as a starter. It was awesome. Sandwiches were delicious. I will come back to try their pasta dishes.
Wood Tavern was phenomenal. Our waitress Ipe was superb! ~Hannah and Patrick
This was my second time dinning here only because it is so hard to get a reservation. The food and service is amazing! My palate is still satisfied after the Nieman ranch burger, which is the best I've ever had.
We came to Wood Tavern for my mom's birthday. The food was really delicious and beautifully prepared - but what stood out even more to me was the service. Everyone at the restaurant was so pleasant, with just the right attentiveness. We had a really good time with our server, and when she found out it was Mom's birthday she went ahead and gave us dessert with a candle, without me even having to sneak away to ask! We will definitely be back. The only (relatively small) drawback here is that it is pretty noisy. If you're looking for a quiet meal this is not for you - that being said, it didn't bother us at all.
Once again, WT delivers awesome food, amazing cocktails, attentive service, a great vibe and, compared with other places (especially at lunchtime), a good value. Can't go wrong with duck rillette, the burger and a couple of Woodford Manhattans. Will be back again and again, introducing friends and family -- and new fans -- to WT every time.
Believe it or not I booked a table for 6 one night before we dined at Wood Tavern...lucky me?!! Anyway the food and ambiance was great, such a nice area of Oakland.
Food is fabulous! Great menu. Excellent chef and magnificent competent staff. Great for lunch and dinner.
Great food and service. I wish there was less noise
Wood Tavern is one of my favorites. Food is consistently good and service is great!
Everything was absolutely fabulous - from the food to our server (Suzanne) to our awesome drinks. I love bringing friends and family here to showcase the best of Oakland and the entire east bay. The food is consistently outstanding, not just good, and Suzanne was spectacular. I've brought dozens here over the last few years and not a single one has left disappointed or not completely wowed. Can't wait till the next time!
We absolutely loved the food. The restaurant was a bit louder than I expected and our server was slow to take our food order. The people next to us who sat 10 min after we did received their appetizers before us. We were quite hungry and this didn't fare well. After that the service priced
Hands down the best cassoulet I've ever tasted... I will be dreaming of it for months as brisk autumn weather sets in. The seafood stew was also very tasty, as was the tomato cucumber salad with just the right amount of quinoa mixed in - very savory! Lovely small place, lots of natural wood and calm colors upwards towards soaring ceilings, but it lacks any sound-absorbing materials however, so don't expect to be able to have a quiet conversation... All in all a fabulous find - you'll love it!
We always enjoy our dinners at Wood Tavern. I especially appreciate their being able to prepare my dishes gluten free as I have celiac autoimmune disease. My wife loved the halibut,
There always seems to be one amazing dish, and then a couple that are only ok. My sister had the burger, which came highly recommended by a friend. Alas, the baguette-in-place-of-bun made it really tough to bite into, so the poor patty got squeezed and squeezed so much that by the end, it was really dry. I had the ribeye, which was really flavorful despite being overcooked. I ordered it rare and it came a definite medium rare. If it hadn't been overcooked, it would have been amazing! But then our one amazing dish - my fiance ordered the bone marrow risotto with braised short rib. That was sinfully delicious! Wish we had ordered it too...! That said, though, the service is really great. Everyone is so pleasant and helpful.
We had the calamari and butter bean salad which was light and refreshing. My husband ordered the ribeye which was perfectly cooked and I had the braised short ribs over a bone marrow risotto. We both loved our dishes and had to take half of it home so we could order dessert. Perhaps the most memorable part of the evening was when our server surprised me with a small vase of flowers during the appetizer part of the meal. My husband had told her at the beginning that he was just scammed by an internet company scamming people ordering flowers. I never got the flowers he ordered. Next thing I know she presents me with flowers from the flower shop next door. You can't imagine how surprised I was. We will definitely return!
Brought my friend here for her belated b-day meal. I've been raving about WT to her, as I do to most of my friends/family, and she'd been wanting to come. It surely didn't disappoint. We came on Sat. afternoon for lunch. The ambience was lively, the host was friendly (and Mr. Wood also was very welcoming), our server was good, and the food was phenomenal as usual. The WT Woodford Manhattan is the best in all of Oakland. I love introducing the place to newcomers and having them love it just as much. Thanks, Wood Tavern. You are still my favorite spot in the East Bay, maybe in all of the Bay Area.
Dinner can often be a crush at Wood Tavern and the noise level is high. Lunch is a different animal - quite, relaxed - the servers have the time to devote to you and I think the food is even better than at dinner. Beautiful flowers, pretty easy street parking and some of the best bread and butter in town. Get a window seat if possible for great people watching.
Wood Tavern is an amazing restaurant. After many lunches and dinners, I have never had an off meal there. I know of no other Bay Area restaurant that is as consistently excellent as Wood. Service is excellent and personable. Guests always love the place. It is my favorite Bay Area restaurant for many reasons.
As always, this place really delivers quality food, friendly service, and reasonable though not cheap prices. Our calamari and Italian bean salad was new to us and extremely well balanced. Brussels sprouts were fantastic, as always. And I can never resist the double thick pork chop here, one of the best in the Bay Area. We were too full for dessert, as usual, but finished with two good cappuccinos.
You can drive right by this pub on College Avenue in Oakland, and wind up suddenly in Berkeley. Stop, park, and find Wood Tavern hidden among the shops. It's worth it! Great food, friendly bartenders and service, decent prices, and reservations just about mandatory, even for lunch.
I moved my son into his first apartment and wanted to end the day of hard labor at a nice restaurant. Wood Tavern did not disappoint. Our waitress, Ipei, was knowledgeable about the menu, paired a beautiful Cabernet with our dinner and left us with a wonderful evening. It's all downhill for my son now that he's on his own! Try the pork belly, it melts in your mouth. Portions are generous but you keep eating. I'm coming back.
Wood Tavern never disappoints! Great food and wonderful service. One of my favorite restaurants in the Bay Area.
Had the tasty and generously portioned pork chop with roasted root vegetables. It was delectable, as were the coffee and dessert. Service was warm and personal. My only complaint would be that my food was just a bit on the tepid side. I was ravenous and it was perfectly prepared, so I happily tucked in. But would have been a 5 star meal if it had been warmer.
Baby kale salad with stone fruit, papardelle with lamb sugo, and seafood stew were all delicious. Attentive wait staff made for a great meal and overall dining experience.
All of the items on the menu sounded very appealing and upon delivery, they didn't disappoint. All the entrees were items you would find in any good restaurant, but each had an embellishment that surprised and enhanced, i.e. fu-yu persimmon in the salad and cheese risotto underneath the very tender short ribs. The pork chop was thick and juicy topped with a melange of unusual vegetables surrounded by an extremely delicious sauce. I am determined to go back again and again to try the other offerings.
As usual, Wood Tavern was great! Our group of three was greeted as soon as we entered the restaurant, we got a great window-side table, the service was perfect and the lunch was great. I loved the clam stew. Good wine choices too. Wood Tavern is consistently good!
My friend and I love to come here for lunch - reserved on the early side so it wouldn't be so noisy, and asked for a table at the end of the row along the wall since no window spots were available. She loved the cauliflower soup with brown butter (and cumin), followed by the little gem salad. I ordered my standby - the cod sandwich on superfresh baguette with a spicy aioli, crunchy flavorful slaw and housemade pickles on the side. Great service - always there when you need them, but always unintrusive.
We have tried to make reservations at Wood Tavern for dinner several times, I decided I would take a good friend to lunch here. It was perfect. Not only the food but the service was just right. They even let us linger and talk for hours as we were catching up
This is my 6th time dining at Wood Tavern, and it is consistently great. I came for lunch with a foodie friend who had never dined here. She enjoyed it and plans on returning as will I. The place is comfortable. The host and staff are warm, friendly and attentive. The food is just right. We shared the kale salad, cod sandwich and garlic fries. All were delicious.
The double pork chop was to die for. So was the lamb belly. Both had fabulous sauces.
It can be crowded and VERY noisy - but the service is friendly and the menu - although limited - is consistently good. Dinner reservations need to be made far in advance, but lunch is often an easy deal - particularly if your willing to eat at the bar or in the early afternon. The wine list is OK - the cocktales are outstanding. If you're in North Oakland, Wood tavern should be on your list.
Recognizing that a lot (most?) restaurants are quite loud, our experience was way beyond loud when two young women came in to sit with a third who had been waiting for them. We're in our 50s/60s, and our guests are in their 80's. We had been conversing, I wouldn't say easily, but conversing non-the-less, when the two women arrived (late). They were so loud it quite literally hurt our ears, and we had to leave earlier than we would have.
I went in thinking I'd order a salad for lunch but ended up ordering fresh pappardelle with veal sugo; the amazing, slow-cooked sauce was generous enough that I took home leftovers for another meal. The service was unobtrusive, and the recommendations terrific, which was helpful during a chatty business lunch where our attention was elsewhere.
Other than being so popular it can be difficult to drop in, Wood Tavern is a near-perfect neighborhood spot with an outstanding kitchen and great service. Food is flavorful and hearty and vegetables pull equal weight on the menu. Service is consistently warm, friendly and helpful, they are sincerely eager to please and are on top of their game. Menu rotates seasonally with many tempting choices. Just a great spot that I hope remains a strong Berkeley presence for the next 20 years.
Service was excellent. Must have reservation, other wise long wait. Little too noisy for relaxing dinner
We'd heard great things about Wood Tavern, and it was so hard to get a reservation! Was able to get a 9:00 for our anniversary, a weeknight. The day before I called, and they were able to bump me up to 8:15, which was much more appealing. All the food was great. The Pate' was smooth and creamy, and the double-cut pork chop was a winner. Definitely recommended.

Tim Burton teams up with Johnny Depp once again to revive the 1960s TV series Dark Shadows. Depp plays Barnabas Collins, a cursed vampire who is awakened after centuries of sleep. Now in the 1970s, he returns to his beloved mansion to find his wacky descendants living there and must help them restore the family business to the bustling empire it once was. Despite the promising combination of Depp and Burton, the film feels more scattered than inspired. DVD extras include deleted scenes and a making-of featurette.
Slick businessman Sam (Chris Pine) gets the surprise of a lifetime when his father dies and he discovers he has a sister (Elizabeth Banks) he never knew about. Though Sam is in dire straits for the cash he hoped to inherit, he tracks down his half-sister, Frankie, and realizes that with a rowdy kid to look after, she might need the break even more than he does. The semi-autobiographical story by Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek) is a bit hard to believe, and though Banks gives a great performance, it doesn't save the plot from becoming entirely too soapy. The DVD comes with commentary by the cast and by Kurtzman.

fullname vs username vs first + last name…
Hi; I think that the "Name" field in the Base group of the profile should be changed to Username; because it is a little confusing.
And then add First Name and Last Name fields.
It would be great to be able to sort the members with their first or last name !
I find it all somewhat confusing as well… First Name, Last Name, Nice Name, Username, Email… too many options. I think it's much better from a usability point of view to sign in using your email address… because users don't remember usernames. But that has nothing to do with BuddyPress. The way login works is a WordPress thing I presume.
The "Name" field used to be called "Nickname" (I think), back in pre-1.0. You should have seen how much discussion *that* caused on IRC when we were discussing if that should be renamed.
BTW… 2 seconds of searching on Google and I found a plugin to allow users to use their email address to login. I'm going to be plugging that in for sure. One less thing for users to have to remember and bug me about.
@DJPaul : Yes, nickname is a better appelation ! Why does this have change ? And why can't this field be renamed in the admin (Profile Field Setup) ?
@David : great ! I'll use it too.
But this doesn't help me for what I want to do : display users in the member component following there name, not their nickname.
…How could I do ?
1) Can I change the field name in phpMyAdmin or is it a bad idea ?
2) How can I display Name+Firstname when listing users,instead of Name (Nickname I mean)
3) How can I order members in the directory following Name then Firstname ?
Here's a piece of code to replace the displayed nickname by name+firstname.
change $first_name_field_id and $name_field_id to match your fields.
function user_name_firstname($fullname,$user_id=false) {
global $bp;
global $site_members_template;
if ( !$user_id ) $user_id=bp_get_the_site_member_user_id();
if ( function_exists('xprofile_install') ) {
$first_name= xprofile_get_field_data($first_name_field_id, $user_id );
$name = xprofile_get_field_data($name_field_id, $user_id );
if ($name) {
$fullname = $name;
if ($first_name) $fullname.' '.$first_name;
wp_cache_set( 'bp_user_fullname_' . $user_id, $fullname, 'bp' );
return apply_filters( 'user_name_firstname', $fullname );
add_filter( 'bp_get_the_site_member_name', 'user_name_firstname',9);
Now I have to find a way to order the directory member results by Name+Firstname… Any idea ?
just recognized that there is only ONE "Name"-field.
Why not use "First Name" and "Last Name" ?
I wrote a plugin :
No firstname/lastname because this does not work for a lot of international users.
so why is "username" , "e-mail" and "password" not sufficient ?
Why do we need an additional field called "Name" ?
Sorry, I do not get it…….
can I skip this "Name"-field from my website or will I run into trouble if I do so ?
BuddyPress uses the "display name" to know that they have filled out some profile information. It is the only *always* required field inside BuddyPress.
Because WordPress is centered around the "username" and uses the "nicename" for slug purposes, we're stuck with those no matter what. I like having my username be short for easy log ins if I can help it of course (sometimes "jjj" is already taken.), but I like my display name be my fullname because it's how people recognize me.
I don't see a way around this any time soon. And like Andy said, internationally sometimes people have 4 or more names. I use my middle name, but having a "middle name" field isn't always optimal either so I lump it in with my first name. (All those years of my mom yelling "John James you get over here this instant!!" must have stuck with me.)
You can rename the primary name field to be whatever you'd like, which is designed to alleviate some of the confusion. It lets you decide what that field means to your users. The "username" is the only thing they can't change, so they're using that for life.
Thanks JJJ,
so if I understand correctly, I could tell my users to insert "First-name and Last-name" into the field called "Name" ?
Would this work technically ?
@Erich73 I created a Last_Name and First_Name field so that I could do directory stuff just like you said. The only thing we're stuck with is the Display name field, which some find annoying and some actually like. Considering all the over the top registrations we have all done before, this isn't the worst. Facebook has it figured out, using emails as usernames and First name and Last Name when appropriate because it is more conducive to engagement. That's the most important thing: what gets your users to engage – seeing LadiesMan269 doing an action or John Smith?
Definitely LadiesMan269.
There are too many John Smith's in the world j/k
Hi Mike,
I still would like to know whether it would work to tell my users to write their "First Name" and their "Last Name" into ONE field called "Name" ?
like, e.g. putting the full name "John Smith" into the "Name"-field.
Typically my users would type "John space Smith".
Will this be working technically (including the space) ?
Hi JJJ, thanks for your explantions.
I think this is something you could put it the documentation…
And for you guys, you can check the plugin I wrote.
My BuddyPress installation will be only for french people so i don't need "international names"…
This is my pet peeve with Buddypress! Wasted at least two weeks on this issue last Summer.
I use the same Beau Lebens email as login plugin that David Lewis found. So I wanted to get rid of username entirely and have basically only real name and email address on my registration form.
To integrate a mailinglist script I needed separate firstname + lastname. Buddypress doesn't store them out-of-the-box. This is NOT a WPMU issue; WP/WPMU has firstname + lastname in wp_usermeta, but Buddypress simply refuses to synchronize those fields, so you can't count on the data being there for other scripts (mailinglist, events, etc.).
Here's my solution:
How to synchronize firstname+lastname between xprofile field_1 and wp_usermeta upon registration
How to autogenerate blogname (url) from Blog Title (or username from fullname!)
The Javascript I use for fullname->username looks like this
function copyinputuser()
var tmp = document.getElementById('field_1').value;
tmp = tmp.toLowerCase().replace(/^s+|s+$/g, "").replace(/[_|s]+/g, "");

}Unfortunately a lot of people sign up with only one name in the Fullname (field_1) field. Question:
Would anyone know how to validate/check the input for a two-part (minimum) name? You'd probably have to check for a space, make a space required. How would that script look?
No firstname/lastname because this does not work for a lot of international users.
Which countries are you talking about?! Name them.
With all due respect, this is such a bizarre argument. Not only the western world, but India, China, etc. all have no problem whatsoever using two or more names. Countries that use only one name or more than four can write their own plugins, along with the language pack etc.
More than two names is no problem; separating first and last name is primarily about having a first name available. Users can put their other two, three, four names in the second field.
If Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. have no problem requiring separate firstname and lastname, why is this such a controversial issue for Buddypress? Why make life difficult for 80-90 percent of Buddypress users just to prevent offense to 10 percent with different customs?
Is this post by Andy Peatling ("

") still the official position or have things moved on?Just want to note that if it is, it seems a bit rash to me. Loads of internationalized websites do have this basic distinction, whole disciplines (academia) are built on it. Besides, alphabetical ordering of members is virtually meaningless without it.
Here's my idea on how to "solve" this dilemma.
1 – Add a field to the base group labeled: "First Name" and order it before the "Name" field.
2 – Create a function to add the value of "First Name" before the value of "Name" (including it in links) wherever "Name" appears in all templates.OK. So #1 is easy.
Anybody have an idea how to code #2 so that alphabetical ordering will be determined only by "Name" value?"Is this post by Andy Peatling (""No firstname/lastname because this does not work for a lot of international users."") still the official position or have things moved on?"
Nothing has changed, so I assume it remains the official Automattic position and have given up on Buddypress. I'll continue to develop my sites as "custom code" on WordPress 3.0.
Is any of the buddypress builder an Automattic employee? Or is this project just supported by them? My Idea for the registrar page is to place alot of hlep icons that bring up an IN-PAGE pop up that explains it all.
me. I think its confusing that when you are viewing the activity stream you see a name. if you want to do an @ in a reply, you have to go to the person's profile to find their @name and then back to where you were to leave the reply/comment. Anyway ideas to work a way around this without a huge mess? Like maybe a little script/code so a tool tip pops up with the @name?
