			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever noticed how when you published a post (you have published something, right?), a thumbnail and mini-bio of you, the author, shows up under the post? That happens either manually (which is not all that easy) or more automatically using a Gravatar. A what-a-tar? You mean blue aliens versions of my persona? Slow down, partner, it&#8217;s just a thumbnail photo that will be used in a variety of places on a variety of websites&#8211;including this one.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The San Francisco Service Team of Professionals is a family owned and operated business dedicated to helping people get through unforeseen circumstances.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3257" title="Lyon Restorations" src="http://bniembarcadero.com/wp-content/uploads/lyon-restorations.png" alt="" width="250" height="68" />When the company’s owner, Nick Lyon, was expecting his first child, he and his wife Chelsea learned first-hand how traumatic and disruptive the restoration process can be. Their San Francisco home was showing its age and they began to notice mold growing around the windows and lead paint chipping off of the interior trim. As first time parents they were understandably concerned for the health of their new baby. Nick, having suffered from allergies his whole life, was determined to improve the air quality and remove all health hazards from their home. However, the process they went through to prepare their home for their child left them frustrated, and ultimately the pace and quality of work was not what either of them had expected.</p>
<p>Nick began his own restoration contracting company with a mission to provide high quality restoration services with honesty, integrity and skill. He believes that taking care of his customers is top priority and appreciates their need for information and assurance. He knows that property restoration can only be done well with proper knowledge, expertise and most importantly, pride in workmanship.</p>
<p>Nick aligned his company with the industry’s leading franchise organization, the Service Team of Professionals. Backed by the best technical advisors and business consultants available in the country, the San Francisco Bay Area Service Team of Professionals has a winning combination that assures every customer unsurpassed professionalism and service that’s second to none!</p>

<p>BNI Embarcadero social: SF MoMa! Thursday, February 23 @ 5:30.</p>
<p>Great time had by all. Our docent was a hoot. She had some memorable lines, including:</p>
<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s paint. Comma. Dammit.</p></blockquote>
<p>Got a personal tour of the museum, heard about the new plans for the new building, and took apart one painting so much we felt like we lived it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Want the full-service, personal approach only a community bank can offer? Discover a better way to bank with an organization that knows the Bay Area because we’ve been doing business here for over four decades.</p>

<p>At Fremont Bank, we know that community banking makes a difference to our customers, our business partners and our employees. After all, we were founded in 1964 &#8211; one of the oldest independently owned and managed bank in the Bay Area, headquartered in Fremont, of course. We’ve held to an unwavering commitment to providing the communities we serve with financial resources and building professional relationships second-to-none.</p>

Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo has $1.3 trillion in assets and more than 270,000 team members across our 80+ businesses.</p>
