Everything about it is inviting. Especially the price.
Prepare to reassess your expectations of how much diesel power and performance you can afford. The 2014 Ventana combines Newmar's most asked-for high-end amenities into a single spectacular package of style and craftsmanship that will have you asking whether it's even possible to have too much of a good thing. Here's your chance to find out.
Every inch a Newmar.
Inside and out, the Ventana includes the extras you would expect from Newmar. There's power to spare, with selected models offering the robust 400 horsepower Cummins® ISL engine. The Freightliner® Custom Chassis is renowned for its exceptional ride and handling, tight turn radius, and extraordinary dependability. And Newmar's exclusive Comfort Drive™ Steering makes driving natural and effortless.
Adventurous spirit. Unbridled comfort.
Convenience is the byword off the road as well – the Flexsteel® captain's chair includes a recliner footrest, while the passenger seat features a foldout desk. When you add in features like easy access cargo slide-outs and a sidewall that reveals a 40-inch Sony® HDTV, it's clear the Ventana is full of surprises.
Surrounded by style.
No matter where you look, the Ventana greets you with high-end design and legendary craftsmanship. Solid wood glazed cabinet doors line the cabin, while the residential-quality Flexsteel® sleeper sofa and lounge beckon for you to relax and admire the stylish lighting sconces and wall art. Just a few steps away, the kitchen will make you feel at home. Its top-shelf appliances, porcelain tile flooring, expandable four-person dinette, and solid-surface counters accented with a handsome glass and marble backsplash all showcase the sophisticated utility of the Ventana.
Two for the road.
Ventana's master bath has double vanities for twice the convenience when prepping for the day ahead. Hardwood cabinetry and solid surface counters only add to the rich appeal. Even more impressive and thoughtful: a new, larger shower enclosure with residential-quality fixtures and a stunningly photo-realistic shower wall with the appearance of natural stone. Twin bathroom vanity sinks and even a one-piece washer and dryer prove that you don't have to compromise when shopping for a brand new motor coach. It's not a day at a resort. It's life on the road in the Ventana.
Seize the day. Savor the night.
Retiring to the Ventana's well-appointed bedroom could be the best part of your day – and will surely be the most comfortable. You'll find lots of restful reasons to enjoy the king-sized bed with home-style coverlet, as well as a faux leather headboard surrounded by a hardwood frame.

Oklahoma should vigorously fight a lawsuit filed by a convicted rapist who says the state should pay some medical expenses involved in a sex-change operation.
The inmate, Ronny Edward Darnell, says he was born a woman in a man's body.
The lawsuit states Oklahoma should pay for hormone treatments, laser hair removal, and counseling as part of his transition from male to female.
Darnell says the state is denying medical treatment for his "serious medical need."
Gender identity disorder is considered a legitimate psychological disorder.
And states have long been held responsible for treating inmates with medical conditions.
But Darnell's medical condition is not the same as diabetes or cancer.
His condition is not life-threatening.
The state should help him with psychological therapy.
But his lawsuit could lead to the state paying for his sex-change operation. And that's going way too far.
Darnell is imprisoned in Helena after being convicted of repeatedly raping a 13-year-old girl in 1997.
Darnell's claim that failing to pay for hormone therapy has put him into "a deep depression and gives him anxiety attacks on a daily basis" falls on deaf ears when compared to the needs of the girl — now a woman — that he raped.
Some may say that Darnell switching from male to female would be a good thing for a convicted rapist — much like chemical castration.
But remember, rape is not as much about sex as it is about violence. There are no guarantees that the demons inside Darnell are exorcised by a new appearance.
Prisons are for paying your debt to society, not for having society pay for your sex change.

I kind of thought that. There are a couple other Illinois cases I am thinking of - one is the Champaign Jane Doe. And the Highland one which has some similarities to the Summerfield case.
And both of those are very interesting too.
Re: MEDUSA, Summerfield Jane Doe Was Identified !!!!!!!!
Katie found and lost her mother in one day.
Katie is the daughter of Summerfield's "Jane Doe," who was strangled and left in a cornfield outside the small village. She remained unidentified for more than 21 years until in January 2008 an FBI fingerprint recheck revealed she was 27-year-old Eulalia Pholia Mylia Chavez Wilcomer.
"I was at work and I waited until I got home and I Googled it," said Katie, who asked that only her first name be used to protect her and her adopted family. "I was like, 'Oh, my God!' So I found out who she was and that she was murdered in the same day."
Katie, now 32, learned the name of her mother, who gave her up for adoption in California when she was an infant, from her mother's high school friend in 2008, then learned through a computer search that her mother was found in an Illinois cornfield near a small town called Summerfield, strangled, mutilated and unidentified for decades.
The news of her mother's murder brought fear, said Katie.
"He could still be out there. You would think that after 20 years, he is obviously unstable. If something with my name on it goes into print, anybody could read it," Katie said. "He might be cuckoo bananas if he's going around killing people."
Though its been 24 years since the murder, police insist they are still pursuing the killer by following every lead, including the latest that involves a register for what used to be called the Lebanon Hotel.
"Although it's been a long time since this homicide happened, it's still very important to the citizens of St. Clair County and to the sheriff's department to continue to investigate it," said Capt. Steve Johnson of the St. Clair County Sheriff's Department. "Throughout that time, the case has changed hands through many investigators who have come and gone, but we are always constantly looking for possible leads."
A former Lebanon police chief, Jerry Harris, said he remembered hearing that Chavez had stayed overnight in a room in the village, possibly with a boyfriend.
Three years ago when reporters tried to follow up on this tip, the former hotel owner refused access to the sign in book. Recently, at the request of the News-Democrat, another former police chief, Adolph Bradley, went to current Chief Dale Warke and asked him to investigate the sign-in book. Warke said he would investigate and contacted the sheriff's department.
Katie said she hoped her mother's killer would be caught.
"It would be really nice if this murder could be pinned on somebody and somebody would pay for it," Katie said.
For Katie, the news of her mother's death has brought disappointment and a realization that any information she learns about her mother would be second-hand from her mother's biological sister, newspaper accounts and police reports.
Katie knows nuggets of information. She knows her mother liked to be called "Lia" and did not like another nickname, "Lolly." She knew that she was an artist who drew and made jewelry and clothing. She attended Foothills College in Palo Alto, Calif., in winter and spring 1976. She volunteered with Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
Katie knows Lia Chavez, then 18, gave birth to her at Stanford Hospital on Sept. 21, 1977. Chavez took her baby girl home to her apartment, kept the baby for four to six months, then gave it up for adoption.
Katie was told her father was English and a musician.
"It would be kind of cool to know who he was," Katie said. "I have nothing on him. I have no idea."
Lia Chavez and her sister were close, but lost touch after she gave Katie up for adoption, Katie said. Katie keeps in touch with her aunt.
Katie also contacted her grandmother, Sonja Wilcomer, who adopted the Costa Rican-born Lia and her sister, when the family lived in Panama. Sonja Wilcomer has said that her daughter left home about five years after her husband, Maurice Wilcomer, a former U.S. Foreign Service employee, died in 1972.
"Her reaction was not warm, at all. She didn't speak warmly of Lia, at all," Katie said. "I would think that even if Lia was a really bad kid, whatever, was into drugs, most parents, if your daughter's dead and your granddaughter calls, you're not gonna be like your mom was a bad seed. I don't want to talk to you."
Katie said Sonja Wilcomer told her that Lia came to her house once with a baby, but she didn't pay much attention.
"Sonja said, 'I thought that baby was a boy, though,'" Katie said.
Sonja Wilcomer told Katie that Lia was into prostitution and drugs. No drugs or alcohol were found in Lia Chavez body during her autopsy in 1986.
But during a Saturday interview, Wilcomer, 88, said she remembers the conversation with her adopted granddaughter differently.
"When she called, it was kind of a shock to me," Wilcomer said.
"Maybe she thought differently, but I believe I spoke very affectionately of her mother. I'm amazed that she thought that I didn't. I told her about all the things her mother liked to do."
Between 1977 and 1986, Lia Chavez's life becomes a mystery to Katie, her sister and her adopted mother.
Southern Oregon State College security officers arrested Chavez near its Ashland campus on July 1979 for stealing a purse. Chavez, then 20, did not list an address.
A farmer harvesting corn found Chavez in a field south of Summerfield on Sept. 6, 1986. She had been dead for less than 24 hours. A collection of mismatched women's clothing in various sizes was strewn near her body. She was strangled with a piece of clothing and her genitals were mutilated with a knife after death.
She remained unidentified when her body was exhumed in June 2007 and transferred to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in an effort to identify her. There, well-known anthropologist Richard Jantz placed the remains in the anthropology department's heavily guarded bone yard, called "The Body Farm," to become fully skeletonized.
An FBI fingerprint check later led to her identification. A fingerprint check shortly after she was found failed to identify her when an investigator mistakenly entered an age range of 18 to 25 for the computer. Chavez turned out to be 27.
Sonja Wilcomer opted to leave Chavez's body at the university, despite the efforts of several Summerfield residents to arrange a burial in their village. After her identification, Chavez's bones were transferred to a collection box and placed with about 800 other sets of human remains for study.
Katie said she thought it would have been nice if her grandmother would have taken the people of Summerfield up on their offer to bury Chavez there.
"For all I know, my mom was some crazy drug addict. I have no idea," Katie said. "But even if she was, I just think that there were other, really nice things about her. Why couldn't she be portrayed in a nice a way as possible?"
Re: MEDUSA, Summerfield Jane Doe Was Identified !!!!!!!!
Tommy Lynn Sells, The Texas Death Row serial killer, admitted to killing Eulalia Mylia "Pholia" "Lily" "Lia" Chavez. She was found naked and dead in a corn field, in Springfield, Illinois, 1986. She had been strangled, raped and sexually mutilated. She was a "Jane Doe" for 21 years.
She was molested by adoptive parents and began running away at age 13. She was also an artist and cross country drifter. Mr. Sells is a noted amateur prison artist and was also a child molestation victim before becoming a drifter and perhaps the biggest serial killer in American history. Ms.Chavez may have traveled with Sells, witnessing his crimes.
I recently read of a lady named "Katie" who was looking for her real mother. She found her mother on the internet. Her mother is my murdered friend. Sells was convicted of murdering a girl named Kaylene 'Katy' Harris. Mr Sells is also the murderer of the Dardeen family in Ida, Illinois, on November 18, 1987. Chavez's body was found in Springfield, Illinois, which is about 150 miles from Ida. She was killed elsewhere and dumped in the cornfield. Mr. Dardeen was sexually mutilated and also dumped in a field.
I once drove Ms Chavez to Stanford Hospital, in Palo Alto, CA. I found her walking on a Palo Alto street, in our old naighborhood.She was pregnant and hemorrhaging and told me she had been raped in a park in Southern, CA. I never learned what happened to her unborn child. I am not sure if this pregnancy produced Ms. Chavez's daughter Katie. Katie's father is believed to be from the Palo Alto, Mountain View, Menlo Park, CA area. Lia and I attended High School together.

Re: MEDUSA, Summerfield Jane Doe Was Identified !!!!!!!!
I just came across this and I am Katie--the daughter of Eulalia Chavez. I am very happy to see that this finally is solved and that I know who killed my mother and also am happy that he is locked away. I read through his history and he appears to be a seriously deranged, dangerous man who killed many, many people. Very sad and very weird to think about how people get to this point and engage in these things. Anyway, to the poster above me, I understand you knew my mother in high school. Would like to learn more and hear about what she was like when you knew her.
Re: MEDUSA, Summerfield Jane Doe Was Identified !!!!!!!!
I wonder if this case could be related, as there was internal organs missing from the body:

At Fort Rock State Park, you won't find many people, phones, radios or TV's and most of the folks who visit the distant site like it that way.
"I saw it through the forest from a distance and thought, 'Is that it? Is that it?" said Eugene resident David Foster.
He traveled to Fort Rock – camera in hand – to explore a unique chapter in Oregon geologic history far away from the city's hub-bub and noise.
"Is there anything better than this," he asked with a chuckle. "I don't think so! I mean – with imagination, you can see the waves breaking and weathering the rocks over tens of thousands of years. This was a very different place back then!"
Foster is right! Fort Rock isn't an old military outpost but an ancient volcanic eruption.
Fort Rock was a small basaltic vent that formed a tuff ring when it first exploded to the surface - and under the water - 100,000 years ago.
You see, the surrounding landscape was once an expansive inland freshwater sea – up to three hundred feet deep - that resulted from melting glaciers that reached into the area.
"It's a landmark," said Joe Wanamaker, Oregon State Park Manager. "You can see for miles around and it's very distinct; almost a perfect circle with one side missing."
Over thousands of years, wave action of the lake eroded the tuff ring's southwest wall away and left terraces along the front and insides of Fort Rock.
Most park visitors enjoy exploring the expansive caldera, searching for petroglyphs and the towering the rock walls are intriguing places to scramble on or try some easy rock climbing.
"There is a short – 1.2 mile long - loop trail that goes through the entire caldera," said Wanamaker. There are pretty spectacular formations where you can actually see the magma's gas pockets, plus the lake sediment under your feet is quite sandy and offers easy walking - it's all pretty neat."
Be prepared for wildlife viewing opportunities of all sorts too – from soaring prairie falcons to perching eagles – or down low to the ground: speedy lizards that zigzag across the rock formations.
Plus, there are many varied and colorful desert wildflowers that skirt the hiking trail.
Wanamaker added that the summer temperatures can soar to a hundred degrees, so be prepared with water, sunscreen and solid boots.
"No flip flops!" advised Wanamaker. "This rock is abrasive and if you wish to do some rock scrambling, you'll want to wear good boots."
If you want to ramble for a longer stay, check in at LaPine State Park that's 45 minutes away - along State Highway 97. The huge parkland offers rustic cabins for rent, plus full hook ups for trailers or RV's.
"The LaPine SP location is central to so many recreation activities," said Wanamaker. "The High Desert Museum is nearby; there are countless cascade lakes for fishing, plus the Deschutes River winds through our parkland."
David Foster said that Fort Rock calls him back and may do the same for you – so bring a camera to capture intriguing scenery and to let your imagination travel back to a distant time in Oregon.
"The geology of Oregon is amazing," said Foster. "And a lot Oregonians have no idea of what's out here. There's so much to Oregon. It's amazing!"

American Exceptionalism Is a Heresy!!!!!!
Faith Lib Pastor Jim Wallis: 'American Exceptionalism…Is a Heresy…& It's Very Dangerous'
Pastor Jim Wallis isn't one to candy-coat his views about Jesus and the Bible. Wallis, who is revered as the modern-day father of the "Christian left," has urged believers to embrace the Occupy Wall Street movement and has made his own, personal quest for social justice known. He continues to allege that the protesters who insist that they are "the 99 percent" are people who "stand with Jesus."
Over the weekend, The Blaze reported about a video interview with the leftist pastor that was aired earlier this week at Lifetree Café locations across the country. In a short clip from the presentation, Wallis was seen claiming that America is "not a Christian nation" and that it has "never been a Christian nation."
(Related: Liberal Pastor Jim Wallis: America Is 'Not a Christian Nation — It's Never Been a Christian Nation')
"We set this up so that it would not be a Christian nation for any religious framework," he proclaimed. "Where in the Bible is there a special place for America? Where do we get that that's bad theology…just bad theology."
While the entire speech isn't yet available, The Blaze was given exclusive access by Lifetree Café to see a longer portion of Wallis' commentary. In addition to making this claim — that the U.S. is not, as many believe it to be, a nation rooted in Christian values, Wallis railed against American exceptionalism.
"We are accountable to God's purposes and God's principles, but there's no special covenant with America here," Wallis continued. "It doesn't exist and to say so is really…a heresy. American exceptionalism, theologically, is a heresy. It's not true and it's very dangerous."
American exceptionalism is the notion and worldview that the U.S. is a nation that is unique in its creation. The ideological constructs that govern the U.S. and upon which it was founded — liberty, egalitarianism, individualism, populism, and laissezfaire — set it apart, according to the theory of exceptionalism, from any other nation on the earth.
The term was coined in 1831 by French political thinker Alexis de Tocqueville, who visited America and subsequently wrote the book, "Democracy in America." "
"The position of the Americans is quite exceptional, and it may be believed that no democratic people will ever be placed in a similar one," Tocqueville said.
Historian David Barton
Conservative historian David Barton has covered this issue in detail, writing:
America has a wonderful spiritual and constitutional legacy. It is no surprise that Secularists, Atheists, Leftists, and Liberals have relentlessly attacked every aspect of that heritage. They must sever citizens from a knowledge of their true history if they are to succeed in moving the country in a new direction.Clearly, Barton would argue that Wallis' words fall into the category he is warning about in the aforementioned text. In his interview, Wallis went on to explain how he views the nation's faith identity and admitted his penchant for telling the international community that America is not a Christian country.
"Most of us in the faith community believe in religious liberty and that we should be a diverse and pluralistic nation in terms of our faith traditions and want to respect and affirm and live out of that mutual respect and collaboration," Wallis said. "So we're not a Christian nation. I've said that on Al Jazeera, on Voice of America — because I want people to know this is not a Christian nation in which other religions should be afraid."
Watch the extended clip that shows these words, below:
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know!"

Mike Gimbel, the county's former drug czar of 25 years, wants Baltimore residents to seriously consider taking advantage of the annual National Take Back Initiative this weekend.
Baltimore County police, working alongside Drug Enforcement Administration agents, are hosting three no-questions-asked prescription drug collections at precincts across the county. The collections are part of a national effort to safely remove prescription drugs from the home.
"The issue is that abuse of prescription drugs affects the entire population ... teens and seniors, alike," Gimbel, a Timonium resident, said. "We have people overdosing more from prescription pills than heroin and cocaine combined."
Officers and agents will be stationed at the precincts between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The release states that anyone showing up after 2 p.m. will be sent away.
"Residents should drop off medications in the original packaging or remove them and place the drugs into the disposal box," the according to a release. "Liquid medications should be tightly sealed and in the original containers. Remove any identifying information that may be on the prescription label."
The initiative focuses on safely disposing potentially dangerous drugs.
Gimbel also serves as the director of the drug and alcohol diversion program Powered By Me! at St. Joseph Medical Center. He said patients hang on to unused pills for months or even years on end, which adds to the problem.
"It's a real dilemma that we have ... that we need to use these drugs in the first place. Then people say 'I'll just keep what I have until I need them again so I don't have to go back to the doctor,'" Gimbel said.
The drug expert went on to explain the rise in thefts both in the home and at local pharmacies. "We have pharmacies robbed of Oxycontin and not even cash," Gimbel explained.
He also noted a tactic in which drug addicts will pose as interested home buyers and attend open houses just to take a peak into someone's medicine cabinet. Senior citizens are often the victims of "handymen" or "workers" who are also known to take advantage of an unlocked medicine drawer, according to Gimbel.

Love these earrings!
By LOVE TO SHOP
from OLDS
These earrings are comfortable and light to wear, a great size and can be worn with just about any colour outfit. They are very neutral, make a great pair of go-to earrings and the moonstone is mostly a very light peachy colour, or pinky beige, but you can tell they are made from real gemstones. I get a lot of wear out of mine, so glad I got them, even though I paid more than this clearance price.
Loving the unique color
By Darlene

Light weight and such a great neutral color that can be worn with any color or outfit.I think they are a great everyday wear pair of earrings.Worth getting at this price.

GENEVA — Lora Mae Stegall, age 79, formerly of E. 14th St., went home to the arms of her loving Savior, Jesus Christ, Tuesday, Nov., 20, 2012, with her loving family at her side.
The daughter of John Henry and Electer (Edwards) Fuller, she was born on June 19, 1933, in Wheeling, W.Va.
Lora and Arthur T. Stegall Jr. were married on August 12, 1949, in Jefferson, Ohio. Arthur was sixteen and Lora was fifteen at the time of their marriage. For sixty-three years, they loved each other and raised their family. Through the ups and downs of life, they remained steadfast in their love for each other. Theirs was truly a marriage that was meant to be.
Lora was a wonderful pianist and organist, for many years she was the musician for New Hope Pentecostal Church, she considered her musical talent a gift from God and was pleased that she could share her gifts with others. A wonderful cook, baker, seamstress and gardener, she could do it all. Her spaghetti and meatballs were the family favorite. No one could make sweets like Lora; she was a wonderful seamstress, making clothes for her daughters and herself. She loved working in her flower gardens. The many flowers she grew brightened the neighborhood.
Lora will be remembered as a wonderful wife, mama and grandma, her love for her husband and children was unending.

While spreadsheets will remain an important tool under Solvency II, they can be inherently difficult to control. Reducing dependence on spreadsheets will therefore be the first priority under Solvency II, though eliminating them altogether is likely to be unfeasible.
How can you manage the risks more effectively?
A move away from the adhoc way that spreadsheets are generally used today towards the more systemic framework for deployment and control generally applied to IT systems is crucial. This includes identifying potential risks and building the necessary controls into the overall capital evaluation process. It will also be important to look at how these controls can be documented and opened up to effective third party scrutiny and verification.
PwC is helping a range of insurers to get to grips with the practicalities of Solvency II implementation. If you'd like to know more about how to manage spreadsheet risk more effectively, please contact our specialists on the right of the page.

This is one of my favorite spots
in DC. Never had a bad experience. Drinks are amazing and food is awesome."
Dined on 7/29/2014
When for a dinner date with my
sister who is a big chocolate fan. Unfortunately, the regular menu does not provide many chocolate infused foods and the plates are small. Service was acceptable but we had to send a dish back because we learned it had nuts in it even though we had informed the server that we were allergic prior to ordering. The cocktail list is quite fun. We had a strawberry & chocolate vodka frappe and one containing blackberry, mint and honey bourbon. Recommended for dessert (it's what they are best at) and for cocktails."
Dined on 7/29/2014
Uncomfortable seating.....hostess
was rude and seemed agitated when we asked her to move to another table."
Dined on 7/26/2014
Four courses and each one had a
form of chocolate integrated in some way. Latin-fusion style, rich, not sweet. Until desert -- that was sweet and amazing bet on words."
Dined on 7/24/2014
Did a recent dinner for 3. Seated
immediately. Attended to immediately by server. The food was great. I enjoyed the Red Berry Tea. The Innocent Bystander drink was good (more of a desert wine but can order with the meal). The fries that came w/my slider was great and seasoned well. Especially enjoyed the cupcake infused w/Baileys. I also recommend the Sticky Situation Desert (combination of real chocolate, chocolate ice cream, caramel). I definitely recommend and will be returning!!"
Dined on 7/24/2014
I went here for brunch, and I was
very pleased with the food and service. I'd definitely go back."
Dined on 7/20/2014
I took a date to Co Co Sala for a
our third get together. The ambiance of the place was a bit too chic for my taste, with dark lighting and colors. They sat us at a very low table that was incredibly heavy and difficult to move. Consequently, we are a bit uncomfortable, and the seating arrangement made conversation slightly difficult. The food was alright, but I felt as if some of the choclate infusion left something to be desired. While I agree that choclate infusion should not overpower or dominate the flavors, come of our choclate infused dishes lacked the taste or hint of choclate at all. Unfortunately, we did not have the main attraction, which is desert. I will be sure to visit again to try."

I went out to celebrate with my
bestie for her bday. Overall my experience was great. My extensive review can be found here on my blog http://needlethreadandaprayer.com/2014/07/18/coco-vs-coco/"
Dined on 7/17/2014
Perfect ambient for a date night.
Food is really good, Chocolate is a perfect combination for food, drinks an desserts. Rich flavors, I love Fetish drink and seafood is just delicious. Rosemary & Parmesan Fries and Salads are great too. I will keep trying other options they have in the menu for sure. For dessert Some More CoCo was great."
Dined on 7/14/2014
We ordered delicious drinks and
got a trio of desserts. I could not rave more about the food, drinks, and overall experience. This is not priced for a weekly treat, but we will certainly return to celebrate special moments in the future."
Dined on 7/12/2014
Place was great!! Service was
awesome, cocktails were awesome and the chocolate was beyond fantastic. I truly recommend the 3 course chocolate tasting menu. It was FAB!!! We paired that with cocktails and coffee and I honestly wanted to sleep there so I could wake up and do it all over again. MAKE RESERVATIONS. It was hard to get a decent time, but so worth the effort. YUMMMM!!"
Dined on 7/12/2014
Everything about this place is
just wonderful. I went with one of my girlfriends and we ordered a few items off the menu... everything was so tasty! It takes a lot to impress us because we are foodies in the hotel and restaurant world. The ambiance was perfcet for a Friday night and the whole staff was friendly and efficient. I love this place!"
Dined on 7/11/2014
The restaurant met all of my
expectations. The food was flavorful and tasted great. The tenderloin wasn't exactly tender but still tasted great. The fritters I'd recommend to everyone. Very tasty and the cheese flavor was rich and they literally meet in your mouth."
Dined on 7/9/2014
A great spot for a romantic
dessert focused night out. The service was attentive but not overbearing. The server said it was fine to just have dessert or dinner too. The arugola salad and shrimp and grits (a little spicey) were delicious. The place is known for chocolate desserts and it was not a let down."
Dined on 7/5/2014
I took my wife for our monthly
date night. We try to go to different places each time. Since I had been here before I wanted her to experience it as well. She really enjoyed the drinks (something with honey burboun (sp)). The food was good but they really do not give you a lot. One would expect more than three scallops and two crab cakes to cost less than $100.00. But it was not about the food, but being with each other. So I would recommend it to others, but would make sure to tell them not to expect to get full. We ended up getting some Ollie fries down the street after we left. Still we had a good time there."
Dined on 7/5/2014
A fun restaurant with unique
dishes that work. Specialty cocktails are interesting and tasty."
Dined on 7/5/2014
Food was very good but not a good
portion for the price. Two mini sliders for 12 dollars. OUCH. S'more desserts very good, flavorful and well presented. Cup cakes were just too much. Perhaps different flavors with the chocolate cremes anglasie icing. Fritters were not good and didn't have a good flavor. Try a biegnet with a chocolate center or a brioche doughnut with ganache center. Yum... Mac and cheese was flavorful but portion size was way off. I would visit again but try not to het the same server. Don't know his name, not really friendly and didn't want to talk to much to him due to his bad breath. Very cute and tready place for DC."
Dined on 7/2/2014
Service was fabulous. Most
enjoyable meal while visiting Washington. The black onyx was a treasure."
Dined on 7/2/2014
I had ordered a vegetarian flat
bread without meat. They accidentally put bacon on the flatbread. When i pointed out the mistake, the waitress was extremely apologetic and got it remade the right away in 5 minutes. They went the extra mile and gave us a free dessert entree for inconvenience. I have been going to CoCo sala for more than 3 years and i have had excellent food and customer service every single time. Highly recommend it."
Dined on 6/29/2014
Our three-course brunch was
wonderful! The amuse is different everytime and I love it."
Dined on 6/29/2014
The hostess and host were rather
rude and snooty, really NOT welcoming and we even had a reservation. We also got frosty treatment from the bartender--my friend and I were waiting for other members of our party and just had water. I get it--they want to make money--but we only sat at the bar b/c there is no other place to wait and not be in the way, and it was just a few minutes. BUT, after that, our WAITER was WONDERFUL--so friendly, smiley, enthusiastic, patient, and accommodating--it seemed like he actually enjoyed his job and did not have disdain for the customers!! And the FOOD and DRINKS were DIVINE. So, I was able to look past the rocky beginning, and my friends and I had a very nice evening."
Dined on 6/28/2014
We thoroughly enjoyed our meals.
There were four of us; we each chose a salad and a small plate to share. We then also shared two desserts--and we each had a delicious cocktail. Coco Sala's take on a Mohito--the Cohito--was terrific--refreshing and unique. Dishes we'd particularly recommend included the watermelon salad, the arugula salad, the prawns & grits, and the scallops. This was a fun place to go for a Girls Night Out. We'd go again! The only hiccup was that our waiter, tho very pleasant, was a bit slow."
Dined on 6/28/2014
Really loud, excellent food in a
nightclub like setting."
Dined on 6/27/2014
If Co Co. Sala has fallen off your
list of places to go... put it back on immediately! The service was top notch; the food was unique & delicious & the attention to detail was beyond my expectations! From the sparkling flight to the chocolate bacon garnish on the mac & cheese, from the sweet & sour cauliflower to the incredible desserts... there was no disappointment in our fabulous birthday celebration!"
Dined on 6/25/2014
This is one of our favorite
restaurants in DC. The drinks, food and atmosphere are incredible. What's not to love about a chocolate restaurant! It is a dining experience. The weaving of chocolate bits into every dish without it being overwhelming is a feat. Must haves: crab cakes, deep fried cauliflower, mac & cheese and the amazing Chocolate Onyx. Our server was so informative and fun and left us to our own devices as we were entertaining guests. Love this place!"
Dined on 6/21/2014
The food was okay. The cauliflower
appetizer was unique. The desserts were really good. We tried two of them and both were good."
Dined on 6/21/2014
This was my second time at Co Co
Sala. I took my best friend here for her 25th birthday. The food was great except the shrimp mac & cheese. The drinks were good as well. The only thing I didn't like was I requested a dessert for my friend (usually restaurants give that on the house if its a birthday celebration) but I had to pay for the dessert. Other than that, the experience was great. I would definitely go back."
Dined on 6/20/2014
Once again Co Co. Sala did not
disappoint. We enjoyed every aspect of our meal, drinks, and definitely the dessert as well. One of my favorite highlights (which I'm still savoring 3 days later) was the sweet & sour cauliflower.....great flavor+texture combination. The desserts were great too. The "milk chocolate peanut butter gelato" in the "Co Co. Grown Up" was one of my favorite pieces to the multiple desserts we ordered, and I feel bad that I stole a lot of it away from my sister-in-law. The Bahibe Buzz was also a new addition to the dessert menu since our last visit there, and it had a great combination of flavors to bring in the summer."
Dined on 6/20/2014
I absolutely love the decor. Very
chic! The menu has some unique and tasty options. It is mostly made up of "small plates" but don't worry.. that doesn't necessarily mean you have to share. It is a great place to bring your significant other on a date or to go for a girls night out. The drinks are to die for. Who doesn't love chocolate-strawberry cocktails?!"
Dined on 6/20/2014
I always bring my out-of-town
visitors to brunch at Co.Co. Sala. The food is consistently great, the service is always kind and helpful, and the location is perfectly convenient for going to the Portrait Gallery for some culture after our meal."
Dined on 6/15/2014
I dined at Co Co Sala for my
boyfriends birthday. The service was so great. Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the menu and recommended some fantastic items. He was right on time with his birthday desert equipped with a candle. And the food was beautifully presented and delicious. And I had the best drink of my life, the Alisar. My boyfriend started planning our next trip there as we were walking out."
Dined on 6/9/2014
My boyfriend and I went here for
dessert after a hearty dinner. The shots of chocolate milk (?) were delicious!"
Dined on 6/7/2014
Had very enjoyable evening in back
room where it was guieter. We loved the speciality drinks. The Onyx was amazing!"
Dined on 6/6/2014
The salad was excellent. The
food was OK to good. The service can be better. Our food orders were not brought at the same time. People going to dinner together should be able to eat together at the same time. "
Dined on 6/4/2014
While the drinks and desserts are
excellent, the food is unremarkable. I ordered the canceled and the actually were terrible. The waitress seemed to care less. She was not very friendly. I would go again but not for dinner."
Dined on 6/4/2014
Co co Sala was an excellent choice
for our evening. The food was divine as well as our recommended drinks. The knowledgable waiter offered fitting suggestions; every dish we ordered was delectable. Staff was great & friendly from the moment we walked in. CONS: Our 7:30 reservations meant there were several happy hour remnants & therefore very LOUD. We couldn't hear our waiter's introduction of the menu despite his efforts. 2.We were seated immediately next to the bar which explains the above but also meant very limited space between our dinner table and those lingering for happy hour. My husband was being brushed every few seconds by the crowd. When the hostess noticed this she asked them to respect the dinner space which worked fabulously."
Dined on 5/30/2014
The food tasted great but the
portions were too small. We took the pre-Theater package (5 courses) and still left hungry. No bread is served either. Dessert was small too. Drinks are overpriced. "
Dined on 5/30/2014
Brought an out of town friend here
for brunch! Great menu! We got the brunch experience. The portion sizes are HUGE! I got the crab cakes and it came with THREE plus a salad. My friend got the cheese souffle, which I thought was going to be really heavy but ended up being quite delicious. Then came dessert (included) - Latin Love Affair and Chocolate Onyx - I recommend both! Plus a beverage was included (champagne, bloody mary, mimosa, or coffee. Definitely recommend going here for a relaxing brunch. It wasn't crowded at all. There are outdoor seating options, too."
Dined on 5/25/2014
Beautiful ambiance, but if you're
looking for a hearty meal, I would probably try something different. Dessert was excellent, albeit small. Nice if you're looking for a little treat, but not if you're hungry and looking to pay less than $120."
Dined on 5/24/2014
It had been a couple of years
since I've dined here. I came with a small group of friends for my birthday. Everyone is still raving over the food and telling everyone about Co Co. Sala. The Sweet and Sour Cauliflower is delish! The MMM and the Fetish were divine. Oh, can't I forget the Bacon Mac and Cheese. The best part was the Co Co. Cupcake Chaser. The liqueur was in a plastic pipet. I'm a chemist, so I too tickled! I'm definitely going to eat there again. You should, too. :-)"

In which I prematurely ponder the next basketball season.
Ah, the perils of social media amid a coaching search.
Sidney Lowe brought up plus/minus system for 1st time. Richard Howell and Tracy Smith have good +/- when playing together.(Via.) For what it's worth, here's what I have on that (thru 14 games)... Howell/Macrowave: +22 over 71 offensive and 72 defensive possessions 116.9 OFF EFF / 84.7 DEF EFF Yeah, that's pretty damn good.
NC State begins league play with a decisive victory.
Pack survives a tough first half.
-- Sid says that Richard Howell will mostly play the four now that Tracy is back. Leading up to the season, Sid said Tracy would spend a lot of time at the four, but it looks like circumstances...
Tracy Smith returned from injury to score 16 points and NC State had no trouble with San Diego.
State misses another opportunity.
Could Smith play on Sunday? "If he feels like he's ready to go," Lowe said. "We'll certainly watch his minutes. We'd love for him to get some action first. Contact. ... Get up and down the floor. As opposed to just coming in and playing in the ballgame. That's a bit difficult. Hopefully – maybe on Saturday he can do something, see how it feels."Smith's return delayed. Doesn't sound likely he'll play on Sunday.
NC State struggles but prevails.

Register Sports Editor
The EKU coaching staff knew coming into the season that the team's offense had a big-time play-maker at receiver (Tyrone Goard) and a rock-solid All-American running back (Matt Denham).
Still, they were looking for other players to step up and make a serious impact.
And in recent weeks, that's started to happen for the 18th-ranked Colonels (6-2, 4-1 OVC).
Led by Cameron Bailey, the EKU offense has become much more diversified as new offensive threats have emerged.
"We've got the three wide receivers and we've got some other kids who are ready to break out," EKU coach Dean Hood said. "We've got the two tight ends and Tyrone and Cam. We can throw it to the backs as well."
Bailey has made the biggest impact.
The senior wide receiver had at least one catch in every game last year and finished second on the team with 314 receiving yards and 29 catches.
He's already surpassed those career highs with three games left in the regular season.
Bailey has 33 catches for 472 yards and four touchdowns. Two weeks ago against Austin Peay he posted his second career 100-yard receiving game and last week at Tennessee Tech he had his first two-touchdown game.
In the past two games, Bailey has seven catches for 206 yards and three touchdowns.
"Nothing has really changed," Bailey said after the win at Tennessee Tech. "You've just got to keep working hard. I don't do this for myself. I do this for my team."
Bailey is not the only Colonel to step up.
Ike Ariguzo, a junior transfer from the Air Force Academy, had a career-best three catches last week against Tech and caught his first touchdown — a 28-yard pass from T.J. Pryor in the fourth quarter.
"It's great to have Tyrone out there, but sometimes they double-team him and someone else has to step," Pryor said. "Those guys have been patiently waiting for their time and now they are stepping up and making plays."
EKU's tight ends have been making plays as well.
Nathan Watts, a junior, had just two catches through the first four games, but has 10 catches in the past three games.
He had a career-best four catches for 63 yards against Tennessee State.
"We kept thinking Watts was going to breakout some time," Hood said.
Paul Henry, a senior tight end, has five catches on the year, including a touchdown against Morehead State.
The Colonels had seven players catch at least one pass last week against Tennessee Tech, including Denham (six catches) and fullback Jeremy James (two catches).
"It's all come together," Hood said of the EKU offense.

The first call at 4:51 a.m. Thursday alerted units of a structure fire at 4182 Husky Highway, the address listed for Blondie's Bar and Grill in Farmington.
Reports that North Marion High, Mannington Middle and Blackshere Elementary schools were closed was confirmed through the West Virginia Department of Education's website.

text: A new study has found that some plant systems may thrive initially in a warmer climate but then deteriorate over the long term. During a decade-long study, researchers from Northern Arizona University (NAU) transplanted four grassland ecosystems from higher to lower elevations to simulate a warming climate, and also introduced a range of predicted precipitation changes. After observing a boost in plant growth during the first year, the researchers say the positive effects of warming diminished over the next nine years before ceasing altogether. According to their study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, exposure to warmer temperatures over several years caused the loss of some native species and encroachment of alien species better adapted to warmer environments. And while the ecosystems cycled nitrogen more rapidly, much of the nitrogen did not boost plant growth but rather was converted to nitrogen gases or leached out by rainfall.

"Now let's take the guy full of faith, but still reeking of alcohol. He believes he is devout. His religious observance is scrupulous. He's sure he still believes in God, but suspects that God doesn't believe in him. He takes pledges and more pledges. Following each, he not only drinks again, but acts worse than the last time. Valiantly he tries to fight alcohol, imploring God's help, but the help doesn't come. What, then can be the matter?"
To clergymen, doctors, friends and families, the alcoholic who means well and tries hard is a heartbreaking riddle. To most A.A.'s he is not. There are too many of us who have been just like him, and have found the riddle's answer. This answer has to do with the quality of faith rather than its quantity. This has been our blind spot. We supposed we had humility when really we hadn't. We supposed we had been serious about religious practices when, upon honest appraisal, we found we had been only superficial. Or, going to the other extreme, we had wallowed in emotionalism and had mistaken it for true religious feeling. In both cases, we had been asking something for nothing. The fact was we really hadn't cleaned house so that the grace of God could enter us and expel the obsession. In no deep or meaningful sense had we ever taken stock of ourselves, made amends to those we had harmed, or freely given to any other human being without any demand for reward. We had not even prayed rightly. We had always said, "Grant me my wishes" instead of "They will be done." Therefore we remained self-deceived, and so incapable of receiving enough grace to restore us to sanity."
Still crazy after all these years?
"In no way, shape or form, however, was the idea conceived to avoid guiding our beloved newcomer along the path of spiritual progress. Quite the contrary, our whole purpose as recovered alcoholics, was and is to help the next person achieve sobriety. If that person is a real alcoholic his only hope is God. So in its most basic and simplest terms our only real purpose is to help the still-suffering alcoholic to find God. A loving God, a healing God is the alcoholic's only real hope."
Alcoholics Anonymous' singleness of purpose is to find god.
How is that not a religion?

we all know what the BB definition of singleness of purpose is. However, the primary, the single, the ultimate purpose of aa is the development of belief and faith in an interventionist god. During meditation (BB definition) this god will reveal his will for the believer. And as with all extreme religions, the goal of the faithful is the conversion of others.

How can you ignore the words of the Big Book alkie? It's right there, plain as day. Easy to see and read. They say the crap your talking about (purpose is to help people quit drinking) in the preamble. That's to suck people into the program where they will find out what the real purpose is: Indoctrination and God. Religion.

Three men are in a hot air balloon. Soon, they find themselves lost in a canyon somewhere.
One of the three men says, "I have got an idea. We can call for help in this canyon and the echo will carry our voices far." He leans over the basket and yells out, "Helllloooooo! Where are we?"
They hear the echo several times. 15 minutes later, they hear this echoing voice, "Helllloooooo! You are lost!"
One of the men says, "That must have been an Orange Papers Forum member."
Puzzled, one of the other men asks, "Why do you say that?"
The man replies, "For three reasons: 1) he took a long time to answer, 2) he was absolutely correct, and 3) his answer was absolutely useless."

Wow. wilson was a stone cold walking & talking psych ward. This billshit is unbelievable. Telling people the appropriate way to practice their religion & belief & interactions with God. How in God's name is this billshit still around? How can any sane person a judge or doctor recommend this insanity to anyone? This guy wilson just needed to fill a book with psycho babble to earn a living. The book had to be full of words & he had nothing so he just made up all this billshit pseudo religion. Evil.
Very good, patti. You're really making some strides in picking up the cultspeak.

of nowhere is what I meant to say. Look in the mirror Alkie. You are a miracle. I am not joking. I hope that you see your best friend. AA does not teach this. Read the steps. If you want I will read them with you. I tried Alkie. 13 years of trying. It wasn't until I stopped AA was then I found answers and relief. If you have found it the AA way. Then so be it. My AA experience was not good!!
Fri, 07/13/2012 - 02:21
It's clear that steve's answer is not alkieanon's answer. Does anyone here believe steve's concession - "If you have found it the AA way. Then so be it." - is genuine and that this will be the end of it?

2. Special Pleader Stepper – The hidden agenda, 2nd most dangerous
They attend AA meetings because they have a stake in making sure that AA survives. They go, not to help the group to solve the problem of Alcoholism, but to protect their interests. Discussion is a platform from which they can air their rights and wishes. They are there to protect special interests (such as a Sober House or Rehab) and are willing to fight for a larger flow of customers. Often teams up with the Aggressive Stepper. http://orange-papers.org/forum/node/189

" . . . and for those that seek (another way)/ I will encourage them.":
"Another way" different than what you are currently doing? That would include AA, would it not? That would include Scientology, would it not? That would include Buddhism, would it not? That would include suicide, would it not? I'm assuming conventional Christian religion is out, seeing as how you specify that only the individual can help himself. That would exclude a Christian God, correct?

And by who? Says that this is the cure ?,remedy,? temporary remedy? Remedy for what? For what ever ills ya?? Kinda like AA? You know Alkie,not only do thinking people exist in our past. We are here along with you today. You know .I realize that I am not a very smart man in the typical sense but I got balls AND heart!! They could only interpret what they were handed down. They were incapable of knowing more than that ,only(presuming) what God told them or what direction man should go. Its Bullshit!!Who gave them this authority? We did, and still do. Lets go you intellectual muthafu---er!! AA is not healthy. While it may keep people from not drinking(because of peer pressure) for awhile. It never and I will say never, gets to the root cause of why people hurt themselves with alcohol and drugs. It is brainwashing/faith healing in plain sight. Peace.

Ok, so I don't have to buy all the xAA or OPF dogma either. Who's concerns? Theirs or mine? If I there is no direct knowledge, then it has to be taken at face value. Do you believe that AA has to do your bidding when you snap your fingers?

Because he was seen as more of a personality, Reilly found few outlets in features: he debuted in a small role in the superb "A Face in the Crowd" (1957) but was virtually wasted in the uneven musical "Two Tickets to Paris" (1962). By the time he was an ascendant Broadway player, he found more opportunities in TV. After a brief run on the short-lived variety series "The Steve Lawrence Show" (CBS, 1965), Reilly found a niche as the modern-day descendant of a sea captain whose spirit is haunting a rental property in the sitcom version of "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" (NBC. 1968-69; ABC, 1969-70). He went on to become a frequent guest on "The Dean Martin Show" and hosted the 1970 NBC summer variety... Continue Bio >>

Tellico Desktop Database
Linux has a fantastic collection of database servers, but many users just want a simple desktop database. Tellico fills the niche.
Tellico [1], formerly known as Bookcase, was originally designed as a literature database. Now the program not only gives users a virtual bookshelf but also helps organize video, comic, coin, and stamp collections. You could even manage your wine cellar with a little help from Tellico. Just recently, the program introduced a feature for user-defined collections, giving users a handy tool for small data sets. The only restriction is that Tellico does not support database relations.

Looking for another reason to lower your stress level? You could be passing it on to your child.
"Parents who react negatively to stress are going to have kids who, in all probability, will do the same," says David Elkind, PhD, professor of child study at Tufts University, in Medford, Massachusetts. That's because children learn how to cope by watching their parents. So if you handle stress by holding it in, lashing out in anger, or blaming others, chances are your kids will, too.
Not surprisingly, stress has the same detrimental health impact on your child as it does on you. When you pass on stress, you're also passing on increased risks for high blood pressure, heart disease, and a host of other stress-related ailments. In fact, a University of Pittsburgh study found that children who react to life events by getting hostile are at higher risk for heart disease than those with better coping skills. Likewise, researchers at West Virginia University, in Morgantown, West Virginia, found that children whose parents suffer from stress-related hypertension also suffered spikes in blood pressure when faced with a stressful task.
Think your child might be stressed out? Dr. Elkind says the following warning signs may be an indication of stress overload in young children: chronic headaches, stomachache, bed-wetting, or change in appetite. Adolescents may start drinking alcohol or taking drugs, get in fights, become sexually promiscuous, or lose interest in schoolwork. "Look for any radical change in their usual behavior," he says.
To help younger kids unwind, Dr. Elkind recommends the following deep-breathing exercise: Sit with your child in a quiet room, and show her how to breathe in through her nose and out through her mouth. Gently place your hand on her tummy when she inhales so that she will learn to take deep breaths into her stomach rather than shallow breaths into her chest.
For older kids, Dr. Elkind uses a meditation technique. Have your teen sit cross-legged, with hands resting gently on her knees. Tell her to close her eyes, breathe deeply, and envision something pleasant, such as a rose. Ask her to imagine details such as the color, texture, and smell.
