Diner Reviews
We have eaten here since they
opened. It still is a favorite after many years. The quality stays high."
Dined on 6/13/2014
The ambiance was very inviting and
relaxing, the food and wine was great. My wife and son really enjoyed their dinner. On a busy night the staff worked hard to fulfill orders. I plan on going back"
Dined on 5/11/2014
Ordered the Fisk and risotto
special. The risotto was way too wet and that also caused the breaded fish to be sopping wet as well. Bread was excellent. Wine was good and nicely priced. Service was very good. I might try it again for the pasta."

Excellent food and friendly
service. Quiet enough to have good conversation. "

This was the first time there and

My wife and I just moved here from
Buffalo,NY. We found Bella Luna by accident by just driving around, and now been there 5 times. All our guest that visit we have taken there and all loved it. Everyone always friendly, service is the best!!!!!! Thank you Bella Luna"
Dined on 3/30/2014
Enjoyed this meal. Very good
starters -- Four of us shared the Antipasto Mediterranio and also the Mussels. Plenty of food, everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Two individuals ordered the specials, which they enjoyed; shrimp was cooked properly, and sauces were good. The other two meals... The Eggplant Parmesan was tasty and not greasy, but as it was sliced very thin, there was a bit too much breading and not enough vegetable. The Saltimbocca was very good, and that plate was cleaned! Spaghetti was done perfectly, although my personal taste runs to a richer marinara. The wine list wasn't huge, but had good variety. The Chianti Classico Reserva was very good (although a tad pricey per glass). Too full for dessert! We will go back."
Dined on 3/15/2014
The local restaurant had very good
Italian fare at a competitive price, but lacked the attention to service. When I arrived at our reservation time I was informed I would need to wait because I was already crossed off the list. Outdoor seating next to the parking lot was ok but, somewhat distracting in the strip mall. The waiter appeared occasionally, but seemed distracted by our presence the entire visit. The meal from the menu as well as the daily special were both very good, when they eventually arrived. The young hostess was most attentive to the guests and flow of the service, whereas the senior hostess seemed more interested in the staff."
Dined on 2/22/2014
After watching an employee come
back from the local grocery store we waited over an hour and a half for our main dish. Which was over cooked and way to salty. Probably not going back."
Dined on 2/15/2014
A friend and I wanted a nice place
to go out for dinner one evening. I'd never been to Bella Luna but had noticed it when shopping in the center it's located in. Oh my goodness! The food was excellent. Very authentic dishes. I had the orange roughy and my friend had the veal oscar. Superb! And the bread pudding was to die for!!!!! We chose to eat outside as the restaurant was busy and a bit noisy. Service was the best I'd experienced. Can wait to go back again!"
Dined on 1/25/2014
I was taking friends out for a
holiday meal. We had the Chef's special. Filet mignon, grilled shrimp, butternut squash ravioli with a rosea pesto sauce and baked asparagus. It was a joy to eat."
Dined on 12/8/2013
This is the second time we have
dined here recently & this time we brought some of our friends. Food is wonderfully fresh with many menu options. Easily the best dinner we have had recently and a great find for anyone who appreciates Italian cooking."
Dined on 11/9/2013
Love your Restaurant, but wish we
had eaten outside. It is soooooo loud in there, you can't hear your guest speak. Also, you don't carry a Variety of White Wines, such as Reislings. A glass of Wine for $8 + dollars in a little neighborhood Restaurant is Ridiculously High...."

We have dined at Bella Luna many
times. Always a great experience"
Dined on 11/8/2013
Great place for good Italian food.
Staff was friendly and the service was great. We''ll be back!!!"
Dined on 11/8/2013
We wanted something that was a
combination of items on the menu and they were very accommodating about meeting our needs. The service was great and so was the food. I would go back in a heartbeat!"
Dined on 11/8/2013
I always use Open Table when
traveling. This is a great find. Wonderful menu selections, fantastic personal service. I asked for stuffed olives in my martini, so the bartender made them for me on the spot! Dinner and dessert were excellent."
Dined on 11/5/2013
Unfortunately, we were annoyed by
the lack of light (couldn't read the menu). We asked for a flashlight (none) so the server let us use his cell phone light. The bread was like wonder bread with a crispy crust, definitely "blah". However, the garlic infused butter was a nice touch . Salad was from a bag w/ cold slice of tomato on top....uninspired. Husband liked the chicken parmigiana, and I enjoyed my farfalle w/chicken & vodka sauce. Our companion felt "cheated" by only getting 2 clam shells on her linguine and complained that her old fashioned wasn't crafted properly. Still, it was not a corporate restaurant which is good, had a pleasant atmosphere (except for the lighting). We wouldn't make a point of going there again...but it was ok."
Dined on 10/26/2013
very good Italian food. We both
enjoyed our meals very much. Yummy garlic infused breads in the bread basket is a nice touch. Good, friendly service. Would definitely go back!"
Dined on 10/13/2013
it was my wife and I's anniversary
and we chose Bella Luna and I personally feel it was a great choice the food is great the service was outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for the special night between my wife and I thank you very much staff and management of Bella Luna"
Dined on 9/20/2013
I was with a fellow group of
golfers west of Phoenix recently and found Bella Luna on Open Table. The restaurant is well adorned. The food is good. I ordered the lentil soup and Bolognaise. The soup was great and the Bolognaise was good (It's been Americanized). The service was superb. Unfortunately, The wine list was overpriced. There was nothing decent under $35/bottle. For a small town, like Goodyear Arizona, the pricing was a bit pretentious. Overall, a good restaurant and one of the few interesting options in town."
Dined on 9/18/2013
Celebrated our 6th Anniversary and
chose to eat somewhere different, so we tried Bella Luna for our first time. Very romantic atmosphere- even though we brought our 4 year old. Very excited they had kids menu and chocolate milk! Great Italian bread with amazing herb butter. Odd that they only had one salad dressing but it was delicious. Entrees were wonderful as well as service. We will definitely be back!"
Dined on 9/1/2013
This place is a gem. Family owned
and operated. Staff is first class. Food is full of flavor. A very nice place that reminds me of ITALY. This is the best I've found all things being equal in the SW Valley. It's comfortable and rewarding. Pricing is perfect."
Dined on 8/18/2013
Food was outstanding, we had the
special which was scallops and shrimp scampi over a bed of spinach/risotto with a lemon/butter sauce. We were there during the week so it was not very busy and very quiet. It was a cute little place with black linen table clothes tucked away in the corner of the Safeway shopping center. They have a nice patio for outdoor dining but we were there in July so it was a tad warm to be eating outdoors. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. I love the fact that it is not a chain restaurant as well."
Dined on 7/11/2013
The atmosphere was quiet and
un-rushed, the service was spot-on and the food was to die for. The Chef's special of rolled chicken filled with three cheeses and spinach in a marsala sauce was excellent and so was the seafood diavalo. The portions were large so that an appetizer would have been too much. And the Sicilian twist on the desert was very good. We left the plate clean. From an old Italian boy (with roots in Naples Italy) from the east coast, the flavors and evening were terrific. Gratia from my wife and I."
Dined on 7/8/2013
Attendance was low for a Saturday
Evening. Background music was appropriate and unobtrusive. Orange Roughy was the evening special. It was sauteed with an egg/flour coating and served over a bed of rissoto with sauteed spinach. We shared a bottle of very nice white wine. It was altogether a delightful evening."
Dined on 7/6/2013
Took my mom there for Mother's Day
Brunch. Food was just Ok ( A bit under seasoned) nothing really special, seemed to me that the Brunch Menu was an after thought. My Mom was served her entree a good 5 min before mine, the Fruit Salad consisted mostly of grapes (which still had stems on them) We also never got asked if we wanted another mimosa, found out later that re-fills were only $2.00. The chocolate-covered strawberrie that we received at the end of the meal was almost laughable No PRESENTATION what-so-ever. It seems that Bella Luna is really trying to be something that it's not (fine dinning) BUT it's just not. The service and the food do not warrent there high prices. I wanted this to be special for my mom and it just wasn't."
Dined on 5/12/2013
Bella Luna in Goodyear is the
neighborhood's best spot for Italian food. Service was good and everyone at our table really enjoyed their dinners. Can recommend the veal marsala and their special mixed seafood entree ( almost like a cioppino)."
Dined on 4/29/2013
After finishing our salads and the
plates were cleared, we waited a solid 15 minutes for our main course. Not trying to complain but really too long of a wait. It was not packed, so the 15 minutes seemed forever. Food was average, not bad but just not great. Service was good, and decor was a nice theme. Nice Patio out front so that could be very nice enjoy a meal when the weather is just right. It's nice to know it's there and would not rule out again, but we will explore else where first."
Dined on 4/27/2013
There server was pleasant and
helpful, ensuring we got the happy hour specials. The meals were great. They actually taste like great Italian food, as opposed to the food from chains which is clearly non memorable and designed only to feed you. It was so good we visited again-very unusual for us to do so as we like to try different places. But great food and great service trump a potential new experience that often turns out to be quite unremarkable. Also love the idea of 10% off for cash-there are no surprises here."
Dined on 4/12/2013
We discovered Bella Luna last year
for a late lunch and have been enjoying it ever since. It is the first place we think of to take visitors for dinner and recommend it to anyone looking for good Italian food."
Dined on 3/23/2013
Being Italian, I know what good
Italian food tastes like and Bella Luna is most definitely authentic Italian dining. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an good restaurant to eat out in Goodyear."
Dined on 3/14/2013
food was good. we had been there
several times before. we had reservations for 7 p.m. when we arrived the restaurant was packed with many people milling around outside waiting to be seated. it was obvious that the restaurant was overbooked by a lot. we finally got seated at 7:30 (The first time that happened to us with an open table reservation) the wait staff was friendly, but overwhelmed. it took us almost 2 hours for dinner. this was an hour longer than we would expect. this was not our choice, but an overwhelmed kitchen. in the midst of our dinner, the owner had an argument in front of our table with an irate customer, disturbing our dinner."
Dined on 2/16/2013
Service was horrible food wasn't
priced well for what you got and it was under seasoned."
Dined on 2/13/2013
Enjoyed our calamari, lasagna and
spaghetti. Service was very friendly and attentive."
Dined on 2/5/2013
The service was excellent. When we
arrived at the restaurant, our table was not ready. We were directed to wait at the small bar and encouraged to enjoy a drink while we waited. At the conclusion of our meal we discovered that the wines we had while we waited for our table were not charged to us. A very nice policy! Regarding the food, it was good but not outstanding. The stuffed salmon and stuffed shrimp were overcooked. The veal oscar was just okay. Nevertheless, the dining experience was overall pleasant, but we will probably not return. The prices are rather high for the food not to be of the highest quality."
Dined on 12/24/2012
This place has fabulous food. I
have already been recommeding this place before I even came back."
Dined on 12/17/2012
The staff was very friendly and
accommodating, food was good...took a group of 7 and the people were very impressed with the ambiance of the restaurant."
Dined on 11/10/2012
Great Italian fare. Excellent,
knowledgeable service. Josephine is the best. Richard is a gem. All veal dishes we've tried are delicious--the veal francese is my favorite."

Diner Reviews
The food at this venue is AMAZING
however the service was incredibly slow. I waited 20 minutes from finishing my appetizer to getting my main dish. The slow service could have been due to the fact I came for restaurant week or the fact it was a sunday. I got the chicken on the restaurant week special and I have to say it was one of the best chicken I have had. The red peppers were cooked perfectly and I had enough sauce that my dish was not dry."
Dined on 7/27/2014
main course was very bad, salad
and desert delicious. Service apologized for food."
Dined on 7/24/2014
staff was very accommodating
constantly seeing if everything was ok.no bones in the branzino!"
Dined on 7/24/2014
Abysmal service -- had to ask 8
times for menu and no appetizer for 25 mins so our party ended up leaving. Completely unacceptable"
Dined on 7/23/2014
Food was good for the most part -
entrees were delish - I had shrimp, my pal had whole branzino. The bruschetta app was eh - I wouldn't really call it bruschetta, no crunch, bread was odd. It must have taken at least 30+ minutes for the three little bruschetta pieces to come out, and it wasn't even busy. For lunch? Then another 40 minutes for entrees!! You have to speed it up a bit when people have to get back to work."
Dined on 7/21/2014
This was my wife's birthday dinner
and it was perfect in every way. Food was outstanding, a little noisy but high energy. Itt was also directly acvross the street from the show we were attending... She said she would go back for the Beet Salad alone!! Thank you!"

Our waitress was very sweet and
accommodating. The prix fixe was a great deal. The ambiance was terrific. I will return the next time I go to a show at City Center!"
Dined on 7/12/2014
It would have earned 3 plus stars
IF the food which I ordered was improved in two ways. A somewhat larger portion, and prepared as spaghetti is expected to be prepared. I ordered one of the standard spaghetti with tomato sauce items,and a small green salad. The flat spaghetti was not not properly cooked, it could not be rolled on a fork and spoon as one usually expects,it had to be cut with the edge of the fork because it stuck together at the bottom of the plate/bowl in which it was served. The portion was so small that it also detracted from the meal. The next time I am in New York I may go back ...in the hopes that this experience was not usual But they missed on the basic...food preparation."
Dined on 6/27/2014
Not greated as walked in. Server
didn't know where fish was from. When asked if they had Veal Scallopini the server said, "no but we have scallops." What a joke. Would not return. Would not recommend. In NY, this restaurant which pretends to be Italian shouldn't last through the end of the year."
Dined on 6/26/2014
It took MORE THAN AN HOUR from the
time of our arrival to get our main course! We arrived into an almost empty at noon on matinee day, ordered and got our appetizers quickly. Then as the restaurant filled and other tables ordered, we continued to wait. And wait. It was after 1 pm before we ....and other tables.....got our main course. With a 2 pm curtain, that created a bit of a time squeeze."
Dined on 6/25/2014
The service and cuisine were fine
for a pre-theater meal across the street from City Center. Pre-fixe option was my choice, enjoyed it."

Everything we ordered was
wonderful. We had a walk in Central Park first and then a walk home after."
Dined on 6/17/2014
There are over 7 Italian
restaurants on West 55th street, and this is the one to avoid! We tried most of the rest and read the reviews on this one and gave it a shot- I hope the past reviewers try the OTHER restaurants if they thought this was rated 4 stars! First, the bread they served us was Stale and the waitress said sorry, would we like more bread sticks? My wife's Seafood salad was really a Mussel salad with very little other seafood, and her Seafood special was way overcooked and drowned in a brown Mush. Only my Duck main course was something good. Will not be back with so many other/better choices on the same street!"
Dined on 6/17/2014
What a great place to dine with
friends pre theater. The grilled octopus Is always special and the wine list is very good and reasonable. I highly Recommend Abbocatto to foodies and oenophiles alike."
Dined on 6/14/2014
Restraurants in that area tend to
be pricey, and Abboccato is no exception. Portions could be larger and $4.50 for a cup of coffee is outrageous!"
Dined on 6/11/2014
We enjoy dining here before
theatre at City Center. We know we will have a fine meal and great service. And it's so conveniently located directly across the street from The Manhattan Theatre Club. You never have to rush a meal to get to the show. We like it very much."
Dined on 6/10/2014
Very good dining experience at
Abbocato; the only soft spots were the veggies which were surprisingly overcooked for an Italian restaurant. Location is adjacent to City Center and a short walk to Carnegie Hall and Radio City. Service was fine; prices average for NYC. We'd go back."

great food, good, friendly
service; timely and supportive wait staff."
Dined on 6/6/2014
They have a way with pasta that
makes the simpler dishes, such as bolognese or fungi, into absolutely delicious entrees. Served in oversized dishware, what appears to be a a modest serving, suffices perfectly. And don't miss nonna's meatballs as an appetizer!"
Dined on 6/5/2014
We have been here before and
returned for a pre-theater dinner. They have a wonderful prix-fixe, with large portion sizes which is something you don't usually see. The wine list was quite extensive and our waitress was lovely. We will return."

I had been here before but this

I booked lunch for 12:45. When
we arrived, the restaurant was almost empty (adn remained so), yet we were seated at the back opposite the kitchen and toilets. Service was extremely slow and offhand. I ordered the prix fixe lunch, which included dessert. We ordered green tea separately, which arrived (extremely HOT), and I waited and waited and waited for someone to finally serve the dessert, then had to wait and wait and wait in a empty restaurant for someone to bring the check, so we could escape."

If you can't say something nice…..
Well, there are just too many good restaurants in town to go out your way to dine here. Thick crusted calamari, ok Tomatoes & mozzarella. Salt drenched chicken dish. Tasty, but overcooked skate. Inedible $22 bowl of pasta w/bits o'seafood just swimming in oil or butter. Left it almost uneaten and not a word from the waitstaff. Guess it's not unusual. Seemed to be several office groups dining here. Well, if Abboccato is really nearby….."
Dined on 5/14/2014
A great spot for pre-theatre. Well
located, good food and good service. They are very flexible about sharing etc. Quality was very good - not really gourmet but very well prepared. Busy but not hectic."

The veal chop with veggies was
wonderful. So was the appetizer of grilled octopus. Pricey and worth it!"

We have enjoyed this restaurant
pre-theater especially before City Center. The food is uneven and this time my husband's Osso Buco was very fatty. My fish was very good."

Food was surprisingly good.
Interesting cocktail. Ok service. Overall good value for the location."
Dined on 5/6/2014
Despite an advance reservation and
nearly empty restaurant, the maitre'd tried to seat us at an undesirable table; the waitress forgot our drink order, then thought we were getting a second main course instead of dessert; soft shell crab was deep-fried vs. sautéed, leaving it greasy. Food was okay, but pricey for its quality. Too many better restaurants in the neighborhood to return here."

We visit NYC every few months and
have a few favorites we always frequent. This weekend we decided to be adventurous & try a new place. We always use Open Table. We found Abboccato. From the Fuji Apple salad to the Grilled Branzino - our taste buds were in heaven. The service - although the small restaurant was crowded we felt like we were the only ones dining there. The staff - was attentive and pleasant. We WIL go back. "

We enjoyed our meal in every
way.....the food was great especially the pasta......surprised it was'nt busier"
Dined on 5/3/2014
Everyone thought the food was
outstanding and prices were moderate compared to average in new York City. The ambience was good but the table next to ours was noisy but the4y responded to our glares and became quieter."
Dined on 5/3/2014
Quiet, nobody in dining room when
we arrived, only a group of young people at the bar. Like space between tables and booths, one of which we sat in. Beet salad, which was fine; squid ink pasta with cuttlefish and tomato sauce, which was good, but too much tomato sauce and a touch too much cayenne; grilled branzino (quite good), which they brought out to show us after it was grilled, took back in to filet it, and didn't bring it back until we started pestering the waiters for it as it took a long time, and the server said that they had to heat it up again, which was ridiculous as had they filleted on time they wouldn't have had to.

The Chronicle
Pella —
Sixty local Rotary Club members and spouses, current and former, celebrated 75 years of our club in Pella on May 14th at the Central College Sutphen Room. District 6000 representatives in attendance included Terry Geiger, current District 6000 Governor and his wife Peggy, and Past District Rotary Foundation Chair Corliss Klaassen and wife Jeanne. Thirty some special guests who belong to the club only in spirit now, Pella Mayor Jim Mueller and John Van Berkum whose membership dates back to 1967 as well as several past presidents, also attended. Current members Dick Van Zante in his 45th and Orville Duncan in his 40th year as Rotarians, current president Chris Huston and beneficiaries of Rotary's international programs Jessica Klyn, former Ambassadorial Scholar and current Austrian Rotary Exchange student Barbara Alliger added to the total attendees proving Rotary is alive and well in Pella.
The event was organized as a group effort of 10 members. The evening started with members and guests being welcomed with a commemorative program outlining the club and organization activities over the years since 1938 when the Pella Club was sponsored by the Oskaloosa Rotary Club. Special acknowledgements included the major donations by Mr. Fultz and Francis Huyser and of the leadership provided by former presidents who maintained the Rotary spirit over the 75 years. A social hour with members reminiscing with the help of Rotary memorabilia and awards commemorating innumerable exchanges and events and a slide show of club activities and members was followed by dinner, a special business meeting and program all in a lighthearted celebratory mood.
The meeting included the normal rites that members share every Tuesday noon. The program, emceed by member Wes Chaplin, included presentations by Ms. Klyn, a review of the wide ranging help that Pella Rotary has been to the community and world by treasurer Dan Bogaards and a summary of the aid provided to handicapped people around the world through the local PETS group by its president and Rotary member Bill Bruxvoort. The evening continued with addresses by District Governor Terry Geiger and District Rotary Foundation Chair Corliss Klaassen, presenting the Club's 2013 Paul Harris and Rotarian of the Year awards and a raffle drawing benefitting PETS and PolioPlus. The evening ended as all meetings do with the Four Way Test revisiting the major tenants of Rotary International.

The Associated Press
The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — A Blanchard man was sentenced to death Tuesday for the killings of a Dibble woman and her two children.
McClain County District Judge Greg Dixon followed the jury's sentencing recommendations for Shaun Michael Bosse, who was convicted Oct. 29 on three counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree arson for the July 23, 2010, deaths of 25-year-old Katrina Griffin, 8-year-old Christian Griffin and 6-year-old Chasity Hammer.
Dixon sentenced Bosse, 30, to death on each of the murder counts, plus an additional 35 years in prison and a $25,000 fine on the arson charge, the maximum penalty, Assistant District Attorney Lori Puckett said.
Bosse's execution is scheduled for Feb. 28, but Puckett said that date will be postponed during an automatic round of appeals for the conviction and sentences.
Bosse, who did not testify in his own defense during his trial, said nothing before the sentences were handed down, Puckett said. Members of the victims' family attended the sentencing hearing, she said.
Meanwhile, Bosse's defense attorney, Gary Henry of the Oklahoma Indigent Defense System, said Bosse is hopeful he'll successfully appeal his convictions and sentences.
"His spirits are good. He is actually pretty positive," Henry said. "He's hopeful that something comes from that."
Henry said Bosse's first round of appeals was filed immediately after Tuesday's sentencing hearing.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled that Griffin died from multiple sharp force trauma, while Christian died from multiple stab wounds. The medical examiner report says Chasity died from smoke inhalation and burns in the fire. Prosecutors said Chastity was thrown into a closet and a chair was used to block the door.
Prosecutors said DNA evidence showed the victims' blood was on Bosse's clothing. Scratches on his knuckles and arm and pawn tickets in his wallet indicated he hocked some of the nearly 140 items taken from the family's home, according to prosecutors.
Henry argued there was no evidence Bosse committed the crimes.
Witnesses testified that a McClain County deputy visited the victims' mobile home shortly before midnight the day before they died and that Bosse was there. But Henry said Bosse was observed in Oklahoma City the following morning and had been there for several hours when smoke was reported to be rising from the burning mobile home.

Report: DHS Spent Money on Zombie Simulation
Sen. Coburn details 'wasteful' security spending in report.
Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, right, isn't pleased that Janet Napolitano, left, has allowed DHS to dole out cash for questionable expenses.
Government officials are spending taxpayer dollars preparing for a zombie apocalypse, according to Oklahoma Republican Sen. Tom Coburn's annual report on wasteful security spending.
The report, "Safety at Any Price," identifies millions of dollars the Department of Homeland Security dished out for programs to install underwater robots and remote-control helicopters.
According to the report, DHS has paid more than $35 billion trying to keep Americans in cities across the country safer, but Coburn says some of the money was spent unwisely. Coburn calls attention to $1,000 that was spent sending law enforcement to an event that included a live demonstration of how to take down zombies at a HALO counterterrorism summit in California.
The civilian tactical training company Strategic Operations "was hired to put on a zombie driven show to simulate a real-life terrorism event," the report says.
The HALO Corporation called the report misleading and untrue.
"The report's suggestion that Department of Homeland Security and Urban Areas Security Initiative funds were used to pay for the zombie apocalypse training is absolutely untrue," said Brad Barker, president of the HALO corporation. He added the program was put on by a sponsor and no taxpayer money was spent.
[ENJOY: Political Cartoons on President Obama]
"At a time when our $16 trillion national debt is our greatest national security threat, we must make sure that all programs, especially those meant to prevent terrorism, are achieving their mission," Coburn said in the report released December 5. "For instance, paying for first responders to attend a HALO Counterterrorism Summit at a California island spa resort featuring a simulated zombie apocalypse does little to discourage potential terrorists."
Other questionable spending targeted in the report includes the small town of Keene, N.H. — population 23,000 — buying an armored vehicle to patrol its pumpkin festival.
Pittsburgh, Pa., used DHS funds to buy $88,000 worth of "long range acoustic devices." The city used the noise makers to break up protesters at the G-20 summit, but allegedly gave one person permanent hearing loss.
A town in Ohio spent $98,000 on an underwater robot, which it said could be used for "underwater rescues."
[RELATED: Farm Bill May Ride on Fiscal Cliff's Coattails]
The report alleges that Michigan law enforcement officials used DHS funds to buy 13 sno-cone machines and in Illinois, officials spent $45 million on a video surveillance program that malfunctioned.
The report is an effort by Coburn to reform the way DHS hands out its Urban Area Security Initiative funds, a $7.1 billion grant program for local government security initiatives.
DHS, however, says their spending is sound.
"The Department appreciates the issues raised in Senator Coburn's report, but fundamentally disagrees with the report's position on the value of homeland security grants and the importance of investments in our first responders on the frontlines and the development of critical capabilities at the local level," says Matt Chandler, a DHS spokesman. "We have seen the value of these grants time and again."

The BlackBerry Z10 launched a few days ago, but not in the U.S. -- people in this country will have to wait until March to get it. But this isn't the fault of BlackBerry, it can be blamed on the wireless carriers.
Telecoms in the U.S. do extensive testing of every device they offer, and these tests go on for months. The carriers are trying to be sure that handsets don't cause problems for cell towers or the wireless network.
The American carriers appear to be more cautious than their European counterparts. That's why the BlackBerry Z10 debuted in Europe last week, but won't be on U.S. store shelves until next month.
Canada apparently falls somewhere in the middle -- telecoms in that country are going to introduce this BlackBerry 10-based model tomorrow.
Next month, Verizon is going to be the first U.S. carrier to introduce the Z10, asking $200 for it with a two-year contract. It's also headed for AT&T and Sprint.
Learn more abut this smartphone in our hands-on preview of the BlackBerry Z10.

NEW YORK -- Thomas Vanek isn't ready to return. Ryan Miller isn't ready to come out.
Vanek, the Sabres' leading scorer, will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury tonight when Buffalo visits the New York Rangers.
"For his best interests and the best interests of the team right now, we decided to hold him out," interim coach Ron Rolston said this evening in Madison Square Garden. "He just can't do some of the things we need him to do. He's real close, though."
The Sabres continue their four-game road trip Tuesday in Carolina, and Rolston said Vanek showed signs of being able to play against the Hurricanes.
Miller, meanwhile, will make his 13th straight start tonight. He is 9-10-1 with a 2.82 goals-against average and .916 save percentage. Backup Jhonas Enroth hasn't played since giving up four goals, including three in the first period, in a loss to Ottawa on Feb. 5.
"We're just again going game to game," Rolston said. "There is a plan in terms of we have to get him in here in this next stretch. It's just picking the right opportunity."

|M.A. Degree in Physics
The Department will not consider applications from students who intend to work toward the M.A. degree only. However, students in the physics doctoral program may apply for the M.A. degree after completing requirements listed below. Ph.D. candidates are not required to file for the M.A.
The Master's degree is administered according to the regulations given in the Graduate Division section of the General Catalog. The Physics Department requires a comprehensive examination rather than a thesis; passing the written preliminary exams is considered the comprehensive exam (Note: If the student does not pass the prelims, passing a one-hour oral exam consisting of three faculty members in the Physics Department of the student's choosing shall be required in its place; the exam will cover only coursework taken by the student).
The Physics M.A. candidate must complete:
Note: Total units required for M.A. degree is 35 semester units of upper division and graduate work in physics (or related fields) with an average grade of at least B. Eighteen of these units must represent graduate courses in physics. Neither upper division courses required in the Physics Major Program nor Physics 251, 290, 295, 299, 300, or 602 may be used to satisfy the 35 unit requirement. No more than one-third of 16 elective units may be fulfilled by courses graded Satisfactory, and then only if approved by the Department.
Applications for the MA degree can be obtained in Student Services, 370 LeConte. Deadline to file an application for a Fall MA degree is September 21, 2012 and for Spring, February 15, 2013.

The NHL is back, and its alive and well.
Despite months of uncertainty, anger and, ultimately the most worrisome, apathy, the NHL has returned, and with it have the fans, who still love the game far too much to leave it regardless of all the drama.
Luckily for them the ups, downs and turnarounds of the league, the endless storylines that make the NHL so compelling, have come back in full swing, even just two weeks into the 2013 season.

Troy Onink, Contributor
I write about financial planning to pay for college.
Just because your child is a good student doesn't mean her good grades will translate into college aid. This kind of financial aid is called academic merit aid, and few colleges offer it based just on grades and test scores alone. I cannot tell you how many times after a presentation to families I've heard parents saying that their child should be able to get a "full-ride" at this college or that university.
No, they probably will not get a full-ride based on grades, and they may not get ANY aid based on grades at a lot of colleges, especially state universities. That's because the majority of state universities and the most selective colleges out there, including the Ivy League schools, the Wesleyans, Bates, Dukes, Swarthmores and Stanfords of the college admissions elite, do not offer academic merit aid; where if you have the grade, you get the aid. It just doesn't work that way at most schools anymore.
Yes, many smaller, perhaps less-known private colleges still offer academic merit aid of substantial value. I mean more than $5,000 per year, up to a full-ride. That's because they have to in order to be competitive. The good news is that with the advent of the government rule over colleges being required to provide a net price calculator on their websites, it is easier than ever to identify if a student is eligible for academic merit aid by just typing in the student's GPA and ACT or SAT score. In fact, that's exactly what kids do. They'll hit a school's net price calculator (NPC), go through the first step of the net price calculator to see if they are "estimated" to receive any merit aid money, and if not, most bail out, abandon the calculator and move on. Of course, even if the NPC does show that a student is "eligible" for academic merit aid, it does not mean he or she will receive it for sure. Many merit awards are competitive. A student may be eligible to compete for an award, often at an on-campus weekend before college starts, or via a committee review of the eligible applicants. Still, there are "merit" awards that are for specific majors, usually limited to a number of students, and have wider criteria than just GPA and test scores. So a school that offers no academic merit aid may still have scholarships available in niche areas, and you should ask about such possibilities.
The big point I am trying to make here is that just because a student has great grades and test scores, it doesn't mean those "merits" will translate into college financial aid, because not all colleges offer academic merit aid, of those that do, it may be a competitive award, or related to a specific major or limited to only four students out of all that are eligible. In addition, some state universities that do offer small academic awards are often available to students who are state residents, or on a reduced basis for out-of-state students.
Here is another thing to know. Most academic awards are awarded by the admissions office of a college, not the financial aid office. Most often, the admissions department will automatically notify a student if they are eligible for a merit award when they submit their application for admission, because again, these awards are based on the things admissions professionals look at most: grade point average and standardized test scores (ACT and/or SAT). For those of you who have kids who are taking AP courses and have a GPA that is considered "weighted" to reflect these advanced courses, you should be asking yourself if colleges recalculate GPA for academic merit aid purposes.
Why? Because let's say the kid took the advanced courses and comes in with a GPA of 3.71 versus possibly having gotten a GPA of 3.75 or better taking slightly easier courses. Since a lot of merit aid awards are based on GPA, and typically the criteria is 3.75 or higher, the potential exists for the kid with the 3.71 to NOT have the grade, and NOT get the aid. The good news is that most admissions offices do recalculate GPA based on academic rigor, so the kid that challenges herself doesn't miss out on merit aid. I'll explain how colleges recalculate GPA based on rigor another time, but recalculation is good for merit aid because the right kids are duly rewarded.
The other type of financial aid is need-based aid, the kind that a student demonstrates a "need" for based on the family's financial aid information as submitted to a college's financial aid office on the two financial aid forms, the FAFSA and CSS Profile. I've written extensively about everything you need to know about this kind of aid, just read my 2013 Guide To FAFSA, CSS Profile, Expected Family Contribution (EFC) And College Aid.
Also From Forbes:
Excellent article, Troy. Looking forward to your next on how colleges recalculate GPA based on rigorous course schedules.
Great article Troy. So I assume that certain colleges give merit aid because they want to attract a higher quality student and importantly boost the "average" stats that appear in all the rankings and guides. It would be helpful if you created a list or perhaps a gallery of the 25 most selective colleges that provide merit aid.
Excellent article! I was told that with my son's high ACT score, colleges would call US and offer him scholarships and lots of merit aid. WRONG! We had to apply for tons of private scholarships and he ended up winning a lot of money, but it was not just handed to him automatically. This info. needs to be shared!

In college and graduate school time is best used when you study smarter and develop a better memory. Try it. http://7c531xriu7zy4l7ftvzo-d7q75.hop.clickbank.net/

Except for one Taco Bell-after-midnight disaster (I mean, the meat was already on the Mexican pizza, what could I do?), I've stayed on track with my new meat-conscious lifestyle.
There was a moment last week when, as I waited patiently for my Greek salad from Shartel Caf� (a great salad, really), I seriously considered knocking a little girl over and stealing her chicken fingers, but I resisted. Barely.
The great folks over at Prairie Thunder, however, have me back on track. Ordering my favorite veggie sandwich yesterday, the woman behind the counter told me about "Veggie Thursdays," when the outstanding bakery features veggie specials.
Just down the street, the newly opened Midtown Deli also has veggie sandwich options (and my sandwich was fantastic) and a salad bar. And Sage Caf� and Market has to-die-for macaroni and cheese.
Also, keep an eye out for 105degrees, slated to open in September in the new Classen Curve Development across the street from Pearl's Graveside. The caf� is bringing something new to the metro " raw food cuisine.
Whenever people mention raw food, I immediately think of the scene in "Notting Hill" when one of William's dates points to the boiled carrots and says they've been murdered. Poor little carrots. But, guilt pleasure movies or no, I'm excited to try the whole raw food restaurant concept.
In a recent article I wrote for Oklahoma Gazette, I learned a lot about the revitalization efforts of local elementary schools. Wilson Elementary is on one end of the spectrum " the parents, administration and community have worked hard for years to improve the school " Edgemere Elementary is at the other. The school is at the very beginning of its own revitalization effort, but the new principal, with the help of the community, is making the right steps.
Besides focusing on the basics to improve education in the school, Principal Dennis Gentry has also started working with the surrounding communities to create effective programs for the students.
One of those programs is PEEPS, which stands for the Paseo Edgemere Education Partnership Spectacular " I was told the "spectacular" could in no way be left off by my husband, who helped develop the program through Leadership Oklahoma City's LOYAL program. PEEPS links the artists of the nearby Paseo Arts District with Edgemere students.
Unlike Wilson, which has a dedicated art teacher, Edgemere shares an art teacher with other district schools, so the kids don't get a ton of contact with the arts. Gentry said the PEEPS program is only open to those who have good grades, attendance and behavior, and the students must be nominated by a teacher. So far, the K-2 classes have been full and the 3-6 classes have been almost at capacity.
The students meet four days a week after school for an hour with different Paseo artists to create works of art in different mediums. For a lot of these kids, this may be their first creative outlet, and who knows, maybe we'll see one of their own works on display in the Paseo in a few years thanks to PEEPS.
I was once the proud owner of one ugly couch. When you're in college and counting pennies for a pack of ramen, you'll take any free thing you can, which is how my couch and I met. She was the cast-off of a friend's dead grandma. I was a bit worried that the cushions contained her wandering spirit (since I did find a dirty sock tucked between the cushions), but the only thing left of the g-ma was a lingering smell of old lady perfume (which is, by the way, one of the worst smells out there) and Bengay.
My couch wasn't just passively ugly " it worked hard to be truly hideous. The velour fabric was printed with a large swath of blue and brown flowers. The massive armrests were detailed with dark wood. The bottom was fitted with a pleated skirt. In a kick of self-preservation, my couch made sure it didn't fit any of the standard slipcovers.
That couch is now probably moldering away in the back of a local Goodwill, which is too bad. For once, it actually pays to have an ugly couch.
The Web site Pimp My Pad and Furniture Gallery USA started a contest March 16 to find the metro's ugliest couch. Until March 30, couch owners can e-mail in pictures of their monstrosities in the hope of winning $599 towards a new couch at either the Edmond location of FG USA (560 E. Memorial) or the Chickasha location.
The rules are simple. Check out the site to find out where to e-mail your pic and other little details. The top 10 finalists will be chosen on April 1 and then people will have a chance to vote on their favorite ugly couch.

Carefully spent 6ish hours making my way into the driver's side dash bit by bit ... and driving the truck each time I removed something ... to track a squeak that's been driving me mad.
No luck in the dash or even under it, so it had to be outside the truck. As it turns out, the metal shielding around the parking brake cable was rubbing on something outside the truck ... and the cable was carrying the sound into the truck (as cables under tension are apt to do). I zip tied it in place and the squeak was gone.
Sadly. I was running out of daylight so I had to reassemble the driver's side of things quickly ... and think I introduced a new rattle in the process. I'm 100% sure that's in the cab .. and I'll dig into isolating it, next weekend.
got to go home to san antonio early, so I had thursday night until sunday morning to do stuff...
1) Mounted my JD2 bender dead center into our guest house garage using female concrete anchors (so it can be moved if necessary)
-looks pretty SEXY i must say... ;)
2) Began my custom front bumper build
-bent my main bumper tube (1.5" schedule 40 steel pipe)
-removed my stock bumper
-cut off the frame horns with a saw-zaw
-did a light wipe down of most of the front end frame, and sprayed some rustoleum truck bed coating on it, to prevent rust on the fresh cuts while i take my time making my bumper over the next, however many weeks it takes.
3) Removed all driver and passenger side moldings
-just earlier tonight used my astro eraser pad mounted in a standard drill to remove all the adhesive (got all expect top adhesive strip on driver door, and both adhesive strips on passenger door before drill battery died, put on charger and went to the gym)
4) Cut and installed 3/4" MDF into my toolbox for a mountable floor just like @SurrealOne has done with his.
-removed toolbox tray and trashed it
-everything is very clean and organized in my toolbox now!

Yesterday I drilled some holes into the frame of the flatbed on my Duramax and bolted on 2 fuel filter heads. Then I cut a section out of the fuel line running to the engine and installed a compression fitting on the rear section and one on the front section. Then I ran fuel hose to the 2 filter heads. I installed the fuel/water separator and the CAT fuel filter and primed the truck. Now I don't have to worry about dirt and crap getting into my diesel injectors and the cat filter will only cost $20 to replace and the crappy expensive factory filter will have an extremely long lifespan.

So with the spring/summer approaching and the end of my winter bulk (+25#'s over the winter) coming to an end I'm starting to get ready to cut, and want to try doing a carb nite cut (first time) to maintain as much muscle as possible. My question is what are my meals/foods going to be looking like during the week. I'll list what I think I'll be eating and if you see something missing or if you know some tips and tricks that would help me out that would be great. favorite low carb meals/foods ect.
Protein shakes (probably will have to throw an extra one in while cutting on top of already having one in the morning and after my workout)
meats - chicken, beef, pork, fish
Cheese - low fat
Nuts - almonds/peanuts
vegetables - I could use some insight in which would be best
yogurt - low-fat greek no fruit
fruit - NONE
I currently use RESULTS which I'm guessing I will have to drop from my diet? (50g carbs) and switch to just plain creatine?
Thanks in advance.
If you're going the low-carb route.... stick to the higher fat options (hard cheese, full fat yogurt). When you cut the fat, typically sugar is added for flavoring.
Pepperoni and cheese is a good snack.
Sugar free jello when you get a sweet tooth.
Watch the carbs in things like nuts
Seasonings and carb free sauces/dressings are clutch.
Franks Red Hot for chicken.
Basically, center most meals around a meat, a fat source (good oil or nut), and green veggies (fiber, micronutrients, lower carbs typically).
Trample the weak, hurdle the dead
Satisfaction is the Death of Desire...
awesome, thanks blood. I forgot to add eggs to my list as well after looking back at my post..
I'd also add psylium husk fiber tabs a few times a day. Make sure you're getting enough fiber and water.
I think the big key is keeping hunger at bay like any other diet, but also keep the sweet tooth at bay as well. I used sugar free jello with a little whipped cream as a snack or a piece of 90%+ dark chocolate. This will ease your mind when you want to dive face first into a bowl of fruit or candy haha. Another tip is to freeze diet soda with a toothpick or something in it to use as ice pops.
Trample the weak, hurdle the dead
Satisfaction is the Death of Desire...
If you get a sweet tooth, you can throw in an Atkin's bar once in a while. They have low plenty of low net carb choices.
Supplements I currently take: Nitrean , BCAA , Creatine 500 , Multi-Plus , Fish Oil

no need to jump straight into low carb..
right now im 12 weeks out from my show and im eatin 3500 cals over 400g of carbs and losing 1.5 pounds a week. you can manipulate the body in other ways.. All low carbs are going to do is make you look flat and exhausted.

text: Hemophilias A and B (deficiency in factors VIII or IX) are hereditary bleeding disorders. We are examining how these deficiencies modulate thrombin generation, and clot formation, structure and stability. We have observed that hemophilia causes the formation of clots with an abnormal structure that are weak and poorly formed, and have decreased stability in the presence of fibrinolytic enzymes. We hypothesize that hemophilic bleeding results from formation of poorly structured clots and that therapies that stop bleeding do so by normalizing clot structure and stability. We are comparing different strategies to treat hemophilic bleeding, including replacement therapy and bypass therapy with high dose factor VIIa, FEIBA, or novel bioengineered "superenzymes."

Dragonborn DLC Required
Heart Breaker - A Killmove Mod gives you the ability to go all Temple of Doom on your enemies just before they die. If your enemy is injured enough to fall to one knee (i.e. Bleed Out), you will be able to press your activation button (Default "E") to rip out his/her Heart. A Heart, based on the race of your enemy, will then be added to your inventory. Any Hearts that match the Heart you ripped out will be removed from the NPC's inventory. (e.g. If you rip out the Heart of a Daedra, then you will no longer find a Daedra Heart on the corpse.)
Recent Changes
Version 3.02
- If you were in first person view when you activated the killmove, you will be returned to that view when the killmove has completed.
Version 3.01
- Since hearts shown in the player's hand are equipped as armors using biped object 60, a small scripting change was needed to ensure anything that was already equipped to biped object 60 will be re-equipped at the end of the killmove.
Version 3.0
- New once a day Spell Power that enables you to force an enemy into the BleedingOut state with a single hit, allowing you to perform the killmove.
- New Magic Arm option that comes with 4 different visual effects that are applied to your arm when you activate the Spell Power or perform the killmove.
- New Disarm toggle causes enemies to drop their weapons at the beginning of the killmove.
- Messages about killing essential NPCs and hearts being added can now be in 1st person, 3rd person, or turned off.
- Hearts in your character's hand will now visually match the hearts added to your inventory for Daedra, Briar, and Heart Stones.
- All vampire hearts will now turn to dust in your hands and Vampire Dust will be added to your inventory instead.
- Heart toggles have been removed and replaced with a Menu Option.
- Explosive Heart Breaker toggle has been removed and replaced with a percentage slider, 0% is now off.
- Satchel left by Special Essential NPCs has been renamed to "Blood Soaked Satchel" and has blood soaked textures to match.
- Satchel left by Special Essential NPCs will no longer sometimes flag all items in it as stolen.
- If the killmove animation happens to fail as described in #3 of Things You Should Know, you will no longer receive a heart.
- Support has been added for General Falx Carius. If you perform the killmove on him, you will see the Heart Stone removed from his chest and added to your inventory.
- Heart Breaker is now fully compatible with the original quest from which this mod is derived. The original killmove for the NPC will be properly played regardless of any of your settings in the MCM. I have also corrected a visual bug with the killmove on the NPC where the Heart Stone was removed before you actually pulled it out.
- Support mentioned for the two NPCs was achieved without actually editing either of the NPCs themselves.
Things You Should Know
1. The Heart Ripping animation is from the Dragonborn DLC; this mod uses that animation, which is why it is required. Apparently, FNIS now supports paired animations. Possible Dragonbornless, FNIS required version in the future? Maybe, maybe not.
2. If an NPC is too close to a wall, or has weird positioning relative to you, it is possible that the animation will play, but you will rip the Heart out of thin air. This is also a problem with normal killmoves and there's nothing I can do about it.
3. There is a rare issue that happens when you activate the killmove where the camera forces you into third person, no animation plays, the NPC doesn't die, and you wind up with the heart added to your inventory. Like #2, this usually happens because of weird positioning. If you reposition yourself and try again, it should work properly.
4. When you kill Normal NPCs or Normal Essential NPCs with Explosive Heart Breaker enabled, you will be able to loot a gore pile for their items. Special Essential NPCs explode slightly faster, even with Explosive Heart Breaker disabled, and leave behind a blood soaked satchel filled with their gear.
5. The new Spell Power adds a magic effect to enemies and forces them into the BleedingOut animation, however, the animation may get interrupted, if that happens you can still activate the kill move on the NPC since the activation is based on the NPC having the magic effect, not actually being in the animation.
6. Punching an NPC when you have the Spell Power applied will do nothing, you must use a weapon.
7. SkyUI and SKSE are required for the MCM to work; however, Heart Breaker will still work for you even if you aren't using them. To toggle features On/Off, use the following console commands:
Set HB_ModActive to # (Default: 1)
Set HB_EssentialKills to # (Default: 0)
Set HB_DialogueMenu to # (Default: 1)
Set HB_Hearts to # (Default:3)(Off: 0, Vanilla: 1, Custom: 2, All On: 3)
Set HB_ShieldRemove to # (Default: 1)
Set HB_ExplosivePercent to # (Default: 0)(0-100)

Sept. 7 was the kick-off for Coins for CAAC, a fundraising campaign sponsored by the Clover and Lake Wylie Rotary clubs. This is the first time the two organizations have joined together in a fundraising effort for the same cause.
Why? Because we recognize there is one important agency that assists those in need throughout Clover and Lake Wylie - Clover Area Assistance Center. Coins for CAAC is a way to involve the entire community in supporting the final renovations for CAAC's Full Choice Pantry.
Neither club is new to helping CAAC. In November, Lake Wylie Rotarians helped complete Phase One of the pantry by removing old shelving, installing new shelves and constructing a public donations sorting area.
For many years, Clover Rotarians have been providing yard and outdoor care for CAAC's main building on Highway 55. Clover also was involved in the original renovations of the building in 2003, turning it from a fish camp restaurant into CAAC's pantry, warehouse and offices.
We have always believed in CAAC's efforts, but were so impressed with the Full Choice concept and the benefits behind it that we wanted to be a part of its development.
In the spring, Lake Wylie and Clover clubs prepared grant requests to the Rotary Foundation for initial funding to support the pantry renovations.
Each club received a grant from the foundation totaling $6,000. A requirement of the foundation grant is that the two local clubs have to raise matching funds and involve the participation of every Rotarian.
Not only will Clover and Lake Wylie Rotarians raise the money, but they also will supply the manpower to install refrigeration units, more shelving and construct two private intake offices.
The total cost of the pantry renovation project is $25,000. Our goal is to raise the matching $6,000, plus the remaining $10,000 needed to complete the last two phases of renovations (with $3,000 already donated by an anonymous local business to use toward the refrigeration units).
Coins for CAAC is a coin collection drive that will take the support of individuals, families, churches and businesses throughout our community to succeed. Thanks to the marketing and graphic skills of a Lake Wylie Rotarian, we have designed easily identifiable blue and gold cans that can be picked up at CAAC or any participating site. Simply take the collection can home, fill it with coins and return it to a participating site anytime through Oct. 26.
Clover School District also will have a collection can in their classrooms so donations can be made at the schools.
The following locations have been designated as official collection can pick-up and drop-off sites: CAAC, Sifford-Stine Insurance, Bordeaux & Bordeaux CPA, Family Trust Credit Union, and both the Lake Wylie and Clover offices of Clover Community Bank and Rinehart Realty.
You can also look for our blue and gold table at several upcoming community events. We will celebrate the closing of Coins for CAAC at the Clover Rotary Mummy Shuffle on Oct. 26.
Please show your support of our fundraising efforts and help us to help CAAC serve those in need in our community.
Vance Stine is president of Clover Rotary Club and Mary Sieck is president of Lake Wylie Rotary Club.

The GAO just came out with a report on the use of contractors in war zones. They focus on how the military still needs to improve its planning for deploying and using contractors out there on the ground where the war is happening.
But the most interesting thing I saw in the report was how in many cases individuals who were contractors were ready to fly to the war zone even though their contract did not require them to deploy. People criticize the use of contractors by the military, saying "what if they won't go," but our experience to date backs up common sense that says the contractors are about as devoted to their job and as patriotic as the military personnel are. They go, even when they don't have to.
