Cellar/Tasting Notes "A blend of barrels taken by Nicolas Tari. A total of 46 barrels produced. This sample taken before any racking has taken place although there will probably be one in May (instead since the 2004 vintage, the wine rests upon its lees with batonnage dependent upon each barrel.) A more Semillon based..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very tight green flavors, herbaceous, with lively fresh fruits, but restrained into a taut, mineral jacket."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Light to medium gold with a greenish hue, this wine exhibits wonderfully pure notes of wood spice such as vanillin, honeyed citrus, a hint of under-ripe peach, and touches of creme brulee and marmalade. With great acidity and finesse, this is a medium-bodied, impressively endowed, but generally..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Sigalas-Rabaud has a well defined nose: grapefruit, nectarine, honey and lime, much more primal than some of the other 2009s. The palate is very well balanced with excellent acidity: apricot, honeysuckle, a touch of orange zest and then vibrant white peach bursting across the finish with lime..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is initially very muted on the nose, but it unfurls seductively with subtle, perfumed aromas of lime leaf, white peach, fresh apricot and touches of white flowers: very pretty and well defined. The palate is beautifully balanced, so pure and succinct with wonderful precision towards the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The minerality and stoniness really comes through on the nose of this Rieussec, more than the 2007. The palate is very well balanced with superb acidity, real tension, steely with great precision with notes of apricot, white peach and honey on the beautifully defined finish. Probably the best..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Tasted single blind against its peers. Denis Dubourdieu conjured a wonderful Barsac in 2007. Here there is an initial lightness on the nose that builds with each swirl of the glass. It exhibits fine minerality with apple, dried honey and a touch of wet stone. The palate is very harmonious with..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very lively white with wonderful pineapple, honey and lemons on the nose and palate. Great finish with such intensity. Mineral, white pepper, and tropical fruit. Complex aftertaste of spices, pie crust, and lemon meringue. Fab. 66% Sauvignon Blanc, 12% Semillon, and 22% Muscadelle. Production..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The palate is impressive: tightly coiled, honeyed fruit, very fine acidity, linear at first then fanning out across the finish with notes of dried apricot, nectarine, a touch of almond and a faint hint of spice. With good length and unctuous on the finish, this Guiraud is impossible to ignore.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Fresh melon and green apple notes intermixed with hints of mango and pineapple, zesty acidity and subtle oak all make for a delicious, full-throttle wine.

Wooty and bhazard, thanks for the responses. I probably was used to the brightness and vividness of LCD. I did tend to push those limits. Perhaps I will give it more time and see if I like it better. Sharp has a new 70" LCD set out which is tempting, but they do not have as many apps as LG, at least for now. Thanks again.

What's Happening: November 3 to November 10
El Dia de Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) Celebration
To Mexicans the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) represents something more than just remembering their loved ones no longer with them. It is also an opportunity to poke fun at the ever gloomy "Grim Reaper." It is an opportunity to visit the family plot and to display beautiful and very creative pieces of popular art with very specific accouterments that fill markets and popular shops all over Mexico. In the meaning the Day of the Dead is a celebration that in may regards may be considered very close to Memorial Day in the US or Remembrance Day up north in Canada. It is a day set aside to honor the departed, although in the Day of the Day the memorial is dedicated to honor any and all dead nor just those fallen during military service La Casa Community Center—www.lacasadeesperanza.org

November is Diabetes Month
The number of Americans (including children) developing type 2 diabetes is staggering and the toll is enormous. In addition to high medical costs, the years of illness, disability, and life lost affect millions of families. This is a disheartening situation because diabetes can often be prevented with minimal effort. As with all chronic disease, it is so much better to prevent if possible then it is to treat after diagnosis.
It is never too late to choose a lifestyle that will protect and enhance your health and well-being. At the top of the list is increasing physical activity. This should not be too hard to do, even if you don't like to "exercise". You simply need to make it a priority in your life to be more active and choose something that you like. Be sure to start slowly with the goal of increasing to thirty minutes of activity on most days of the week. A brief walk after dinner would be a great place to start. Once a more active lifestyle becomes a habit, you will probably want to do even more because you will notice the overall benefits.
Next Teen Book Club - Speak
Join us for the next Teen Book Club meeting on November 20th from 4:00 to 5:00 pm. We will be reading Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.

Spend a little quality time...
Waukesha's Spring House Tea Room, located in Historic Downtown Waukesha, is the perfect venue for enjoying others company. Make a reservation for a 2 hour afternoon tea which includes a full tea presentation and finger food in true tearoom style making a great [holiday, birthday, shower, engagement, good bye, anniversary or 'just because'] party truly memorable.
What is an 'afternoon tea'? (according to: www.steamingcupwaukesha.com)
An afternoon tea should combine both sweets, savories and desserts. Tea sandwiches and/or quiche are the perfect accompaniments for a beautiful presentation of small sweets such as shortbreads, dipped fruits, cookies, muffins or finger foods. Of course, you must have fresh scones accompanied by cream and preserves. Cakes should be not heavily frosted. Cake portions should be small if other foods are served. It is much better to serve several small beautiful foods rather than large portions. After all, the purpose of afternoon tea is to satisfy the soul rather than the stomach! But that has not stopped us from making sure that all participants leave fully satisfied!
Tosa East spikers have tough road ahead...and other random thoughts
The Wauwatosa East Red Raiders will have their hands full at the WIAA Boys State Volleyball Championships this weekend at the new venue - Wisconsin Lutheran College.
Coach John Simons' team will open at 5 p.m. Friday against Middleton, the state's second-ranked team, and if the Red Raiders can rise up and beat the Cardinals, they would probably face Marquette on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. The Hilltoppers are the top-ranked team in the state and they beat out Tosa East for the Greater Metro Conference title in the regular season.
Auction Tomorrow Night!
Come one! Come all! The Friends of the Brown Deer Library present their annual auction this Thursday night!
There are lots of new and exciting items this year, including paintings by Owen Gromme. One of the best known and well-loved artists to come out of Wisconsin, Owen Gromme was born in Fond du Lac on July 5th 1896 and grew up along the shores of Lake Winnebago. One of Mr. Gromme's finest accomplishments is his book "Birds of Wisconsin", which is beautifully illustrated by many of his paintings.
Theft From Vehicles
Recently there was a series of thefts from vehicles on the east side of Wauwatosa. In each case the cars were left unlocked with some desriable items inside, mostly that loose change often left in the car.
Please review the following tips in an effort to reduce the opportunity for crime:
Never leave anything of value in your vehicle
Remove not only your portable electronic devices but everything related to those items as well
Never keep anything of value in plain sight if you must leave it your vehicle for a period of time
Get out of the habit of leaving loose change in your car
Always park in a well lit area, if you park in the driveway at home install sufficient exterior lighting
Always lock your car
Curing crutches
Photographers have these things we like to call "crutches."
Similar to the actual medical tools, a trusty old crutch can be our best friend and worst enemy. It simply depends how often we need to use it.
A "crutch" is something we might fall back on to make an otherwise dull photo a bit more interesting.
For example, several years back, a mentor and friend of mine told me repeatedly, "You tilt your camera too much." By tilting the horizon, I was trying to make the photo something it most definitely wasn't: Interesting. I even remember I got a NastyGram e-mail from a local resident, saying it made her feel queasy every morning to look at my tilted photographs. People can be brutal. :)
Another crutch I'm 100 percent guilty of, brought to my attention by a former photo editor: "Get your camera off the ground." I was, am still am, too dependent on a low angle photograph.
Editors sometimes cringe at crutches, such as motion blur or fish eye lenses, because more often than not, we should instead be finding real moments, or expanding our horizons and attempting new photographic techniques.
When I was shooting down in Florida, my good friend Chris McGonigal (now a picture editor at AOL) told me one of his biggest pet peeves is when photographers use a flag as the crutch of their photo. Flags can be cliche, but flags are patriotic. There's a time to get the American flag in a photo and there's a time to leave the flag alone. Veterans Day: Appropriate. Wedding photos: Not-so-appropriate. (My brother was married a few weeks back, and needless to say, he and his new wife were a bit confused when the photographer took their photo standing by a flagpole on the golf course.)
As I shot these photos for Veterans Day, the American in me was grateful for all the sacrifices made by veterans of past and present, for without them, the First Amendment would not exist. And the photographer in me kept thinking, "What would Chris say?"

Shorewood/Messmer's Davies knows what finalists Keel and Taraska are going through
Veteran football coach Ron Davies belongs to an elite fraternity that Homestead's Dave Keel and Arrowhead's Tom Taraska will gain entry to Friday at 4 p.m. in Camp Randall when the pair send their teams out to do battle for the WIAA State Division I championship for the third consecutive year.
Davies knows where the pair are going and what they're going through. He's been working hard these past seven years trying to bring the troubled Shorewood/Messmer program back to respectability, a task that reached a pinnacle this season at 6-3, but long before that, he led the juggernaut that was Kenosha Tremper to three state Division I finals from 1990-1992. His squads lost to Superior in 1990, defeated Appleton West in 1991 and lost to West in a rematch in 1992. Paul Engen's West team would gain entrance to the elite group of three-time finalists the following fall, where ironically enough, it lost to Taraska and Arrowhead in what would be the first of four titles for the vaunted Warhawk program.
Great American Smokeout
November 20th is the 33rd Great American Smokeout sponsored by the American Cancer Society. Smokers are encouraged to stop smoking for at least one day, but, of course, the hope is that they will quit for good. By now, everyone must be aware that smoking is a very dangerous habit with devastating health consequences. Even the tobacco companies admit this.
Among current U.S. adult smokers, 70% report that they want to quit completely. In addition, more than 54% of current high school smokers in the U.S. have tried to quit smoking within the preceeding year. If you are among either of these groups, please choose a quit date (the 20th would be a good choice) and join the ranks of former smokers. Perhaps thinking of your loved ones will help motivate you or if nothing else, think of the money you are literally burning up. Cigarettes cost an average of $5.86 in Wisconsin and it adds up fast. Who couldn't use a few extra dollars in these economic times? Whatever the motivation, please take the steps to quit whether it's for one day or a lifetime. In all likelihood, you will appreciate the benefits of being a former smoker and want to continue on this path.

Massage >Curatio Spa & Rehabilitation
7810 Ballantyne Commons Pkwy Ste. 317, Charlotte, NC | Directions 2827735.059118 -80.811357
Neighborhoods: Provincetowne
I have always gotten stellar massages from Curatio. I was dismayed to read the previous review about finding the business closed. Upon some investigation, I found that the business was sold in June and that it stayed open only about 7 weeks after that before the new owner closed it down. I'm very sorry to see it go, and it's a shame that it was closed so abruptly and unprofessionally. There's no way the previous owner ever would have done anything like that.
I give this place no stars, I had an appointment set up and when I called the week before to confirm after already paying, no one answered the phone, their message box was full and I went to the location to check and the doors were closed and locked during normal business hours. No one was informed of the closing and that is very bad business. Do not visit if they were to re open!
I wasn't impressed when I walked in. No spa feel at all. But then I had a 90 minute deep tissue massage from Jennifer and was in total bliss. May be the best massage I've ever had.I'll go back just for her!
Absolutely loved my massage! Very friendly staff! Worked all of my pain out! I will be returning! Thank you Curatio!
Great experience – My husband was having horrible migraine headaches and total back pain. After reading the reviews in their website I decided to schedule a massage for him with Billy. Since I had never had a massage myself, I decided to do a couples massage. What a wonderful first time experience. My husband felt better that first day and we decided to get a pre-paid package deal [great deal!!]. We have since been several times and Billy, Deann & Najmah are wonderful!! We liked it so much that this year we are giving our customers a 60 minute gift certificate for them to discover this wonderful place. Thanks Curatio.
Curatio is THE BEST! – First off, the staff at Curatio is welcoming. They make you feel like they actually want you to be there, unlike some places. Second, they explain things to you. They don't make you feel inferior, yet they explain your body and the way things are working (or should work) to you. They give you tips and are very knowledgeable. Third, they are very competitively priced. Best off, you feel great when you leave there!
Charlotte's best kept wellness secret! – It's great for feel good vibes when you just need to relax, but most importantly the therapists at Curacio help to heal and speed along your rehab or recurring issues! They are so well practiced and knowledgeable of the body and what I need that I don't have to worry about whether or not I'm getting what I need; I know I am! In addition to professional, quality, focused body therapy I'm always given tips, or exercises to do on my own to facilitate healing. The cost is very competitive, especially considering what you get here compared to the treatment received at other places! Very, very good!
Best Massage in Clt! – I bought the groupon that came out yesterday for a 60 minute massage and made my appt asap because my shoulder had been killing me. I was able to go in this afternoon and see Benita. I opted for the deep tissue and was very please to find out she is a licensed neuromuscular therapist. She did an AMAZING job.
I've been to about 5 different places in clt, including; urbana, zen massage, massage envy, and a few others. I have also tried numerous therapist at these places. Every time I would tell the therapist what was bothering me and then they might do a few minutes extra in that area. Overall, they would just do what I guess is their normal massage routine.
Benita actually listened to me. She took the time to work on the areas that have been bothering me and were tight. The massage actually felt customized to my needs and what was wrong with me, instead of just a run of the mill massage. She was also very knowledgeable. I have to say, it was the best massage I've had in Charlotte!
I think everyone should also know about their great deals on packages. You can buy a 5 hr package for $165 or a 10 hr package for $310 or 20 hr for $650. There is no sign up and you can use the hours however you want. I've seen so many packages that try to sucker you into a monthly fee that I think this is a much better more economical approach. I will be going back to Curatio!!!!
Life Changing! – Working with Billy at Curatio Rehabilitation has completely changed my rehab process. I broke my medial epicondyle in my elbow last year pitching for the Providence High School baseball team, and my recovery seemed like a never ending process. A year and a half after surgery, I still had pain in my arm, but finally I ran into this place called CURATIO through groupon and it has changed everything. I have been working around my baseball schedule and my arm has never felt better! Billy is so knowledgeable and has been able to customize my therapy to my situation. I would suggest this place to anyone from a lady just wanting a massage, to a man like me needing to be healthy for his sports season ahead. Thank you guys so much for everything you have done for me. I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. :)
Healing Massage Like No Other – Several years ago, I struggled with truly horrible plantar fasciitis (terrible, debilitating foot pain). I tried everything from chiropractic care, experimental laser treatment, wearing therapeutic "boots" to bed,... nothing worked. I saw several massage therapists, all of whom focused on my feet and calves, often leaving me in more pain after the massages than I was in before them. Any relief I found was very short-lived. And then I found Billy at Curatio.
Billy is a healer. He practices therapeutic neuromuscular massage, and he is nothing short of amazing. He examined me, briefly, and concluded that my foot pain was not a result of tight calves, as everyone else said, but of tight hamstrings. And then he proceeded to work on me without ever even touching my feet. After one session with Billy, my plantar fasciitis diminished almost to the point of non-existence. After two more sessions, it was completely gone. Completely. Gone. This pain that I had lived with for years, that caused me to hobble in the morning and to reduce my physical activity to the point of being almost sedentary, just vanished. After that, for two years, I had no foot pain at all. Then, when the pain came creeping back, I saw Billy once again for a follow-up. Again, the swelling and pain went away - this time, pretty much indefinitely.
I now go to Billy whenever I have any kind of pain. He can wipe out headaches, muscle aches, tension,... and of course he nips any foot pain I have in the bud. He has a far deeper understanding of anatomy than most and some kind of innate gift of knowing what hurts and how to help. He listens to what my body has to say, and then he gently acts on what he learns from it.
I have friends who had seen other massage therapists at Curatio and have been delighted with them as well, and if I were in pain and couldn't get an appointment with Billy, I would certainly see a therapist who is under his tutelage. But if I have a choice, t's all Billy, all the way. He has become the standard by which I will always measure any massage I ever receive. He has spoiled me.
Curatio has reasonable, competitive rates, in general, but I almost always buy packages of multiple massages, as this gets me more bang for my buck. And the fabulous office staff at Curatio makes that very easy. They keep track of everything perfectly, so that when I book a massage, and when I come in for a massage, all I have to think about is feeling better.
Billy, and his wife Rose, own Curatio. They have a vision of healing, and they make that vision into reality every day. I very highly recommend Curatio.

This Canon EF 28mm f2.8 IS USM is a very good lens, if you are looking for a 28mm lens then really this is the only one that stands out. The relatively slow f2.8 maximum aperture is more than compensated for by the image stabilization in terms of suitability for working in low light. From the point of view of depth of field it will be much harder to get a clear differentiation between sharp focused areas and soft out of focus areas, but a 28mm lens is not the obvious choice for this style of photography anyway. On balance, this is a good and well priced lens that should be given serious consideration.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The second in our series of selecting the best-quality lenses for your camera concentrates on one of the most highly-anticipated cameras of our time, the successor to the hugely popular EOS 5D Mark II. But by the time it was announced, in early March, it's probably fair to say Nikon had taken fair amount of interest away by announcing the 36M-Pix D800 and D800E models the month before. Be that as it may, there's no denying the 22.3 M-Pix EOS 5D Mark III is a remarkably capable camera, and a formidable rival to the Nikon.

An motor oil leak can be one of the many frustrating issues that may affect your Chrysler . Oil leaks may be a result of a defective valve cover gasket, which may lead engine oil to splatter all around, dirtying your vehicle's other parts and quite possibly endangering them. That is why you'll want to take note of the condition of your Chrysler valve cover gasket by doing frequent maintenance assessments on your vehicle.
Your own automobile places a lot of pressure on the Chrysler valve cover gaskets in its everyday functioning, causing them to wear down after some time.

For improved engine output and exact fit, you should buy a good-quality OE-approved valve cover gasket that will withstand tough operation circumstances far better and is more durable.

Once it's filled, there is no pumping and no worry about the outdoor temperature. Just shoot until the gun needs to be refilled. The Discovery Airgun has a 2,000 psi fill level and can be filled with compressed air using a high pressure hand pump (not included).
How does "dual fuel" work? An inexpensive CO2 adapter (included) converts this Rifle from compressed air to CO2 operation, making it easy to fill from a standard paintball tank and offering more shots from a single fill. CO2 is excellent for indoor use or for outdoor casual plinking.

Let The Day Begin
My daughter Carlene and I have been holding down the fort here at Luca's mom and dad's house, namely watching g-baby Claire and cooking and freezing meals so Cassie and Matt can settle into life with two children without having to think too much about what to have for dinner.
Watching Claire, I'm reminded why MizFit calls her daughter The Tornado. I bought her a tricycle yesterday, and some friends gave me their sandbox so I also bought sand and filled it up. Claire wanted to ride her trike, then play in the sandbox, then ride her trike, then play in the sandbox, then ride her trike… Then she'd see her stroller in the garage and she'd sit in it and yell something that meant, "Hey! Push me around!" and so we'd go for little walks or I'd race her around in figure eights in the driveway. It takes a lot of energy to be Claire, but it takes even more to be her caretaker.
I don't have time to ponder too much in this blog entry since Ms. Thang will be awake soon, but in the few quiet moments of this morning, I'm grateful once again to my 300-pound self for taking that first step down the scale. Often we chastise our past selves or wallow in the "How could I?"s or "What was I thinking?"s instead of looking at the feelings and emotions underlying our lives at that time. I was still a kind and loving person at 300 pounds. I wouldn't have been able to chase around a toddler like I do now, but that doesn't give me the right to beat up on what was. And so I choose to pay her homage and to thank her for looking out for me.
Thanks again for all of your support and kindnesses, not just as it pertains to Luca, but to my blogging and weight-loss/maintenance efforts. We all need support in whatever journey we're on. I'm glad to have you along on mine.

Isn't it nice to reap the rewards of your weight loss by being able to chase her all day? I'm so happy for you - what a wonderful time for your family.
- May 24, 2009 at 6:45 PM

444 Castro St Ste 702, Mountain View, CA | Directions 9404137.390569 -122.081316
Neighborhoods: Old Mountain Views, Old Mountain View
I joined two months after my divorce and this sure beats sitting at home and emailing people on the internet. I was tired of not having a date for work functions and liked that I got to meet people in person. My counselor Mandy is terrific and very supportive. She also gives me advice on who to sit by and what to talk about, which is helpful since I was married for so long I forgot how to date!
All in all this is a nice place if you're looking to get out and have fun. I wouldn't join with high expectations of 'meeting the one' because they might not happen. It's also nice to meet other people who are going through the same thing you are.
I have a date for my company Christmas party and I'm looking forward to having a dancing partner.
When I first joined this service, I was a bit skeptical. At my age, it's difficult to find someone who I would want to settle down with, again. I know I have outrageous criteria for the man I want to meet, but I figured since I wasn't meeting this man on my own, I might as well try out a service! During my intial meeting, I laid out all my criteria, signed up, still skeptical, but open.
After many chats with my matchmaker, and a number of drink introductions with new men, I felt like the right man was on the horizon. My matchmaker reassured me from the beginning that this was going to be a journey, that the first man may not be exactly right for me, nor the second or third, but eventually through gaining dating experience and feedback on what I could do differently, I would find the man for me. On my fourth match, I met Thomas. Thom (for short) lives an hour from me, he is shorter than the height I required, and he has more pets than I'm used to, I know he's the right man for me. He's strong, a gentleman, likes gardening, and I just enjoy being around him. It's still early on in our relationship, but I know things will go far!
I'm so happy that I joined this service and that I was able to bounce ideas off my matchmaker. Realistically, I hadn't realized that my requirements for dating were the same from when I was in my 20s, when I met my first husband. Now at the ripe age of 60, things are different, adjustments have been made, but I know in my heart that Thom is exactly what I'm looking for!
Awful disappointing experience. They over hype the experience and then dont match with even your most basic criteria being met. Avoid this service. Big price does NOT NOT NOT translate into big result or opportunity. Despite delivering sub par results they will not return even a portion of your money. Apparently they have no obligation to deliver anything but the minimum of 3 male bodies at a table for you despite the sales presentation to the contrary.
I originally joined the service four years ago and as luck would have it, I got back together with my ex and we stayed together for two more years. I had gone on a few dinners and one match while I was a member and when I suspended my membership Mandy was really accommodating and supportive. She even gave me some really helpful advice when I explained the situation. After the final break up I decided to take another year off before dating again. This time when I came back I was delighted to find that Mandy was still with the company and that she would still be my match maker!
This is the same great service that it was when I signed up. The quality of people that I am meeting is very promising that I will meet a partner that is my equal. I have worked very hard in my life to achieve my goals and it's so important to me that this time around I can find a partner that can identify with that. I am currently dating a couple of guys that are total gentleman and really interesting. Mandy continues to give me great guidance as things progress and it has really helped me to open up to new opportunities without sacrificing what it is that is truly important to me in a relationship. I am so grateful to have a match maker that takes the time to work with me one on one and it's especially helpful that she knows the people I am dating too. That's not something that you can get anywhere else! I really recommend this service to every single person I know.
Having Fun! – I joined the service right at the start of the year, part of my New Year's resolutions. It is definitely a priority to date more, and hopefully find someone great to be in a relationship with. I'm an attorney, and don't have tons of time outside of work. I tried online dating stuff, but spent lots of time just weeding people out, and didn't actually meet many men face to face.
I work with Mandy, Stephanie and Jessica. I love going to my dinner parties. I've actually gone out again with a guy from every dinner party I've attended. My last dinner part I met a cute doctor, and it turned out that we had mutual friends. If only my friends had been better at fixing me up!
My only complaint is that between my busy work schedule, and how it seems my matchmakers spend most of their day on the phone, we end up playing phone tag. When I'm scheduled to go out that evening, I always hear back from them, but otherwise it can take until the next business day. I'm happy with the quality of guys I'm meeting, and I've made some new girl friends as well. My dating life is definitely busy these days!
North Meets South – I decided to join about 8 months ago because I travel a lot for work between LA and San Jose which makes it difficult for me to set things up with people I encountered online. Mandy and Anni have done a really great job of collaborating to make sure that they can maximize my membership in both locations. I have met some really nice guys and it's great to have the girls setting me up because they are able to explain my work-life schedule to the guys before we go out which makes it a lot less awkward for me in the beginning. It's also really nice to have a dinner to go to in the evening when I am traveling because nights tend to get a little monotonous when I am working. I have met friends in both locations that I keep in touch with and now my social life in both locations is just fantastic. I actually don't feel so bummed about having to travel back and forth so much anymore!
What has also been nice is that I have been able to meet guys that have roots in Northern AND Southern California which gives us more long term potential if we hit it off. Right now I am dating a couple of guys that I have met through the service consistently and I have a good feeling that things are headed in the right direction, but I'm taking my time to make a decision and just enjoying the process. It actually seems strange to think that I actually ENJOY dating now, but I do! Just meeting new people and always knowing I have a new opportunity around the corner takes a lot of the pressure off. Plus working with the match makers is a lot of fun too. They do a great job of getting to know each of us and you can tell in talking with them that they enjoy what they do and are not afraid to tell it like it is!
This is a fun way to meet people and I recommend giving it a try if you are a young professional that is over the whole online thing.
After a few strikes, knocked it out of the park! – When I first joined I had gotten out of a 20 year marriage a couple of years before and hadn't explored many options when it came to dating. I couldn't even remember what it was like to go out on a date and the thought scared the hell out of me. My friends had tried online dating and I didn't feel comfortable with that given that I teach in a somewhat small community. The thought of a student seeing me is pretty mortifying!
I felt really safe with the concept because I would have the support of the other women I would meet and I could have a buffer between an eventual one on one date. Mandy really gave me a lot of encouragement, even calling me on the nigh of my first dinner to give me a pep talk! That was the first of a few dinners where I met some really nice people, some who are now very close friends. I began to recognize after each dinner that I had a better sense of what types of men I was open to dating, and it was so helpful to be able to analyze things with an expert. When I got the courage to go out one on one I met Paul. I really felt as I sat in front him on our first meeting that Mandy had somehow manufactured a prototype based on everything I had shared with her. Luckily he felt the same way! Paul and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary yesterday and we both anticipate that it will be the first of many.
I am so glad that with some encouragement, guidance, and support I was smart enough to try it until it worked.
Met a great guy – My experience from Table for Six has been a nice surprise. I have met so many amazing people. The ladies who are my match makers always take great account of whom I am looking for. I haven't found the one yet, but I am extremely hopeful with the matches that I have received. Good job, Ladies! Keep em' coming.
My matchmakers get me – My experience thus far has been great. I have no problem meeting new people. I am just tired of meeting co-workers friends at happy hours. I really enjoy the dinners and one on one matches. The best part of this service is that I can express my feelings about the men that I meet to my matchmakers, Angel and Mandy. This cuts out any potential drama that could ensue through co-workers. They give me great advice and are just so pleasant to chat with. I have met so many intelligent people who have done so many interesting things. Bottom line: Quality people and Quality service.
Beats online "dating"! – I signed up for the service with Lynne about 6 months ago. I was apprehensive at first, especially after reading some of the reviews on here, but I decided to take a chance and I'm really glad that I did. I'm a good looking woman in my early 50's and I had tried online with out much luck. I felt like Lynne really understood where I was coming from.
Now, I get it. Sometimes I meet guys at the tables that aren't for me, but I always have a nice time because the people who I've met are really good people and I always seem to have something on the calendar. Mandy does a great job of describing the people I will be meeting so I'm prepared before each date. I've gone on of second and third dates with some of the men I've met. I've gotten some great advice and I have a lot more confidence since the men are actually coming to ME for dates.
Having the support of the staff to make things happen is really convenient. Given my experience so far, I am hopeful that I will meet my match through the service.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. voted to require banks with between $10 billion and $50 billion in assets to conduct yearly stress tests to assess their ability to withstand possible worsening economic conditions. The requirement is mandated by the 2010 financial overhaul law.
Two other regulatory agencies also are expected to adopt the requirement. It takes effect in October 2013 and will affect about around 1.3 percent of all U.S. banks.
Stress tests subject banks' balance sheets to scenarios such as rising unemployment and falling home prices.
The 19 largest U.S. banks already undergo annual stress tests conducted by the Federal Reserve.

Travel Overview
Approval is required prior to all University business travel. Travel expenses are reimbursed after the trip.
An individual is in travel status when traveling on official business for Purdue whether or not expenses will be reimbursed by the university.
All University travelers seeking reimbursement should incur the lowest reasonable travel expense (examples : sharing a room or riding together) and should exercise care to avoid impropriety or the appearance of impropriety, including the perception that a business trip has been taken for personal reasons. Only travel expenses related to University business can be reimbursed.
Only travel expenses related to University business are reimbursable. Reimbursement is not allowable for items provided free of charge (such as frequent flyer miles or award programs for hotel & car), items previously reimbursed or prepaid by University or other third-party source, or costs that will be paid/reimbursed from any other source.
If a circumstance arises that is not specifically covered, either the most conservative course shall be adopted or consultation for guidance with the travel policy shall be pursued.

In Pictures: The 10 fastest supercomputers on Earth
The latest twice-yearly Top 500 report is out – see which supercomputers are the world's fastest.
The latest twice-yearly Top 500 report is out – see which supercomputers are the world's fastest.
The latest Top500 list details the world's mightiest silicon
Controversial quantum device maker D-Wave is hoping to find a home for its cutting-edge technology in the high-performance computing (HPC) market.
The latest twice-yearly Top 500 report is out – see which supercomputers are the world's fastest.
Supercomputing power is being concentrated in a smaller number of machines, according to the latest Top 500 list of high-performance computers. Keepers of the list are uncertain how to parse that trend.
Helping scientific supercomputing take advantage of emerging big-data technologies, high-performance computing manufacturer Cray is releasing a set of packages promising to optimize the process of running Hadoop on the company's XC30 machines.
In the rush to exascale computing, Intel is making a small change that could have a big impact on system design with its upcoming Xeon Phi chip.
Georgia Tech researchers building an experimental new supercomputer say graphics processors may help pave the way toward future exascale machines, which would be 1,000 times faster than today's most powerful supercomputers.
When you enter the computer room on the second floor of Tokyo Institute of Technology's computer building, you're not immediately struck by the size of Japan's second-fastest supercomputer. You can't see the Tsubame computer for the industrial air co...
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The GDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay Systems provide optimized reagents and a protocol for the sensitive and specific detection of glial cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). After an overnight coating of a 96-well plate, the specific protein is detected using an antibody sandwich format. The systems use horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody and a single-component TMB substrate for the final chromogenic detection of bound neurotrophic factor. Using this system, GDNF in tissue culture supernatants or tissue homogenates can be quantitated in the range of 15.6–1,000pg/ml.

This is my neighborhood stop for nigiri sushi + <3 the 7d/wk HH . But don't miss some of the other dishes on Chef Nemoto's menu.
Excellent nigiri and specialty items by chef Chris Nemoto. Uni, hamachi and salmon are noteworthy. Green tea cheesecake is yummy too
if i could post this without giving it even one star, i would. i got there with my friend. a waiter came to us and was clueless. we asked for edamame and he spoke no english, so we gave up on that. i asked him what was in the seafood salad and he had no idea. he asked the chef and came back saying "fresh fish." i said "i hope its fresh! WHAT KIND?" he said
"I'm not sure" in some delirious tone and walked away. 5 minutes passed. looked around for him and saw him laughing with someone at the bar. PATHETIC! not sure how this terrible place stays in business. DISGRACE! !we walked out; not giving them a penny.
Over it – I've been going here for years and have noticed lately that the experience is not nearly as enjoyable or tasty as it used to be. For example, a few months ago the chef offered us a roll while we were at the sushi bar - something new he was working on. We were charged $15 for that roll. Also, we ordered some tuna nigiri yesterday that was very fishy and had a strange, almost previously frozen, texture. The chef replaced our 4 pieces with 4 pieces of the same yucky tuna, and our waiter charged us for the 2 we ate (and spit out). Just doesn't seem right.
I used to really enjoy going there- it's a great location, cool space, really quiet, but it seems to now be more expensive and poorer quality. I can do better at a lot of other places, so I'm over Zushi for now.
Awesome atmosphere and delivery – I went here with my girlfriend recently and the place is amazing inside. It is modern and extremely nice. We had a few drinks and a few maki rolls that were awesome. I reccomend the deadliest catch and rainbow rolls! Overall, a good atmosphere, good location, and really amazing, fresh tuna. We also recieved discounts by becoming part of their member email list at zushihouston website.
Terrible – Thought this was going to be a delicious sushi dinner but was completely unsatisfied.
In a nut shell, the wine was hot, waited an hour for 2 rolls, one was good, the other was terrible (poor quality and NOT what we ordered) I consider myself a sushi connoisseur and this was not quality sushi. When we inquired we were told that was normal.
I expect bad service to be acknowledged and apologized for, but to disregard your poor service and quality and then slap a $100 bill on the table (for 2 diners) is unacceptable in my book.
I will not be dining here again!!
I always enjoy it here – I frequent this establishment, sometimes as much as 2 times a week. All the servers are very good. I mean there has been a few times the food took a few minutes to get... but it was always worth it.
They have a great happy hour too! I reccomend it.
Try the tamago.. YUM!
Great Sushi – I love to come here with my friends. Has a good atmosphere and the music is usually pretty good. I always order the Miso soup, it is by far my favorite soup, because its a great starter before digging into the hand rolled sushi. Also there udon is quite tasty and was a good experience the first time I tried it. My favorite things to order from the sushi list is always the unagi, eel, tuna, yellow-tail and usually the salmon. You can never go wrong with salmon or the eel. Overall I always enjoy coming here to eat and relax with friends and occasionally with my family since we all are big on eating sushi whenever w
Don't Waste Your time!!! – If you've bought their $15 off $30 worth coupon from Groupon. Don't waste your time to go spend it in there. We did not know there are so many restrictions to use the coupon until we were ready to pay our bill. End up we CANNOT use it. We wasted 15 dollars to buy a useless coupon from Groupon. They don't tell you all the restrictions before you purchase the coupon. According to our waiter, we are not the first. They've dealt with the same issues with their customer in the past months and a lot of customers are not happy with it. I can't believe the owner don't do anything about it. POOR management and false coupon.
juju are you serious. This is industry standard. You just don't get out that much do you. I checked out all the feedbacks that you left and nothing more than one star and all you ever complaint is about the drink prices.... you should just head to the liquor store and drink at your own pleasure which is at your house
not particularly worth the wait – I was looking forward to trying this restaurant after buying the Groupon for $15 off $30 worth of food. We sat down and asked the waiter for a minute before deciding what to get. Little did we know our waiter would use that as an excuse to forget about us. I could see him going around to the other tables, but thanks to the large wooden furniture next to our table, it was hard to get his attention. The bartender happened to notice our displeasure, and took over. Our "waiter" came to take our order 10 minutes after the bartender did, and that was the last we heard from him.
The food was well prepared. I ordered the large chirashi, and it was fresh, presented nicely, and there was plenty of it. My only gripe is that it came in a wooden steamer, and the slats on the bottom made it somewhat hard to eat the rice. We were also pleased with the desserts -- I enjoyed the green tea ice cream, which lacked the usual bitterness of green tea.
Despite the good food and our attentive bartender-turned-water, the experience left a bitter taste in our mouths. It felt as if the $15 we saved with the Groupon was actually paid with our time. Thankfully there are plenty of other restaurants in Houston where I can get my sushi fix.
Disappointed in Service; Sushi was mediocre – Since our dollars only stretch so far these days, I recommend skipping this place and taking advantage of how competitve the food market is in this town - we have so many good options and this isn't one of them!
I was excited to try this restuarant only to be disheartened by poor service. The sushi was ok but have enjoyed better sushi at many other places in town that offer a complete package of a relaxing, enjoyable evening. A few notable things that ruined the dining experience for me:
- the waiter was not attentive, though there were only about 5 other tables seated at the time. I had to get up and search him out after a long wait after initial contact. The service remained slow throughout the night.
- the wait-staff was ill-informed on beverage options and didn't even know what kind of specialty drinks the bar offered. We had to ask twice about drinks beyond beer and wine and the waiter seemed bothered by our inquiry. Isn't the bar how restaurants make money?
- the valet is not complimentary but it seems to be the only real option when you arrive. In fact, he asked me to give him $5 upon my arrival (thought that was awkward), then handed me my keys about 30 minutes later (he was leaving, it was a slow night). He left with my money.
- I called the manager to share my experience with him/her. They never called me back after I left a message with the hostess during a non-busy time at the restaurant.
Take your hard-earned money elsewhere for a better dining experience. I plan to.
Just another overpriced Sushi Restaraunt! – Service was good, but the Sushi was way overpriced especially for the quality. I don't know who they are paying to write these reviews especially the one before mine. Location is bad and hard to get to. Nowhere really to park.
There are better Sushi Restaraunts out there, especially for the price.

Silicon Valley remains the gold standard for startup ecosystems. The area's support network and funding potential (capital raised in SV is 32% higher across all stages of a startup's development) make it the ideal location to start a new business. The greatest challenge may be living up to the region's all-star lineup of founders, which includes Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook (FB)), Jack Dorsey (Twitter and Square), and the late Steve Jobs (Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500)).
Turnaround artists, empire builders, and a rapper-entrepreneur made smart moves that earned them spots on our annual ranking of the best in business.
