restaurateur, Manuel Iguina, and under Chef Giovanna Huyke's seasoned expertise, Mío presents daily a unique menu from Latin America's most influential cuisine capitals - a menu sophisticated in flavor yet true to its origins.

Just south of Thomas Circle, Mío also features modern American selections in a convivial atmosphere where customers are treated with Latin hospitality. Don't miss "Puerto Rico Fridays" - with a genuine roasted lechón and expanded Puerto Rican menu.

Diner Reviews
First time and enjoyed the
experience and very good food."
Dined on 7/26/2014
Our server and the daughter of the
owner Manuel (so I found later), Daniela, was very good. All the appetizers that she suggested were loved by my group. We could feel passion from her when she was explaining us the menu and giving us suggestions. That is important. Thank you Daniela for your great hospitality!"
Dined on 7/25/2014
The food was good but they
indicated that they were transitioning with a new chef so many things that were on the menu they didn't have. The decor of the restaurant is quite nice. And the wait staff was attentive. They also sat a group with a child right next to us when there was room to put them at least one table over where it might have been better for all of us."
Dined on 7/24/2014
Mio's is one of my favorites for
lunch. Great drinks and really good food! Definitely try the mojito."
Dined on 7/22/2014
This place is the closest thing to
a Puerto Rican restaurant in DC. I went on a date night with the girlfriend. They have Puerto Rican Fridays where they have a whole lechon asao (roasted pig). They also have Medalla beer and Don Q rums. The food was excellent, and the restaurant itself is very nice. It's a little bit pricey, but well worth it. The mofongo de yuca is great."

Took my husband there for his
birthday! We loved the food!! And they were so nice, they gave us a free bday cake. Great romantic ambience too :D"
Dined on 7/18/2014
I went to dinner with some
girlfriends last Friday and had a great time! Our server was amazing, the food was quite tasty (for all of us) and the restaurant is very nicely adorned. The only thing to note, and it is minor, is that the noise level is a bit high. If you are looking for a romantic, intimate spot, this may not be your cup of tea. Outside of that, I would definitely return...great spot!"
Dined on 7/18/2014
Super service; very good food; fun
atmosphere! - want to try this again."
Dined on 7/12/2014
I enjoyed eating at this
restaurant. The food is always great. The service is very good. They make recommendations based on what you want and know the menu very well. If you are looking for authentic Puertorican or cuisine this is the place to go. The drinks are also fabulous. The ambience is good. You can select to eat outside, inside or they have a very nice lounge in the bar area you can sit and eat/drink with your group. The restaurant is right beside a parking garage. You have to pay, however, the cost is reasonable. I highly recommend it."
Dined on 7/7/2014
We celebrated my husband's
birthday with a first visit to Mio. Upon arrival we were so warmly greeted and seated at our lovely table. We tried two appetizers and both were delicious. The tuna tartare is one of the best dishes in the city! The calamari is also really enjoyable. My husband got the whole red snapper and it was fabulous. It was so beautifully plated and served. I ordered the veal and plantain lasagne and it was really good and a very different dish. We were also given two delicious complimentary tastes of their homemade coconut ice cream and it was a winner as well but we were just too full to order dessert. Our server Cynthia was just amazing. She gave us great tips about what to order on our first visit."
Dined on 7/7/2014
It was our first time in
Washington DC and we were staying at the Loews Madison Hotel on 15th & M, which made the walk over to Mio a very close walk for us. We'd already spent two days walking all over the beautiful city, and we were tired and hungry! Mio did not disappoint. We left full and very satisfied. We shared an appetizer of squid and it was divine! It came with asparagus and its seasoning was tantalizing to the taste buds. I had their asopao and my hubby had the seared fish of the day. I was very pleased with how much seafood it had and again each one was cooked right! The streets were quiet when we went at around 8:30pm, and although the restaurant wasn't full it was a great dining experience. Service was prompt and friendly."
Dined on 7/5/2014
Our server was absolutely
delightful. The food was far from the everyday - delicious and exciting; great presentation. Highly recommend the mojitos."
Dined on 7/2/2014
We arrived during Happy Hour and
the noise was a bit much, I was there with two business associates and for the first 30 minutes it was difficult to have a conversation. After 7:00, the noise died down and it was much better. The food that we tried was excellent. The appetizers were served in a manner that made it very easy to share and we each tried something different, so this was nice. None of us had ever tried Puerto Rican food before and even our least adventurous cohort agreed that the food was good! The flavors were different and flavorful, without being overbearing or to spicy. The meals were sized so that we all had room for desert and they were worth saving room for."
Dined on 6/23/2014
Unfortunately, all the reviews
suggested this would be an upbeat, fun restaurant with tasty nuevo latin food. So no true. We were there Saturday night and it was over half empty. And, you can see why. My fish was over cooked, the sauce was rich and tasteless. And, my salad was drenched in salad dressing. All for the reasonable price of $150, with tip, for two people. You can do better."
Dined on 6/21/2014
Everything was very tasty. I went
with a group of 5 and everyone enjoyed it."
Dined on 6/19/2014
I went to Mio for the first time
recently with a coworker ... Food was great and I highly recommend the guava lemonade. Service was friendly enough but nothing special. They also have outdoor seating which would be great for a nicer day. I'll definately be going back."
Dined on 6/19/2014
We recently enjoyed a Monday night
dinner at Mio. The service was fabulous, from the bar to hostess to server. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Mio can be loud if crowded but that night was perfect."
Dined on 6/16/2014
Mio Rest. was a great place to
celebrate our anniversary, food was great and the service was amazing, our table was never with dirty plates because the staff was always checking and taking it away, customer service was friendly and first class. Unfortunately one of my favorite dishes was not available because there was a guest chef but I'll be back to enjoy."
Dined on 6/15/2014
Very good food. Wine list had a
number of great selections in all categories. Service was excellent. My wife has certain dietary restrictions. Server confrmed choices and followed up. The manager came by to see how we enjoying ourselves and chatted briefly. Drinks were served quickly. Each course was served in timely manner. The entire evening was very relaxing and enjoyable."
Dined on 6/14/2014
Excellent latin food, I had for
apetizzer the grilled octopus and the duck chest with cilaantro rizotto and was excellent."
Dined on 6/11/2014
Dinner for 2; great kale salad;
the seafood "stew" was very good."
Dined on 6/11/2014
This is a very good restaurant in
all respects. Puerto Rican food at its best. The grilled fish on yucca mofongo was outstanding. Attentive and courteous service and elegant décor. It will not disappoint."
Dined on 6/10/2014
I was extremely impressed with the
service and the food. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I'm pretty peculiar about hispanic food and I can say that I love every single bite. The food was amazing and the service outstanding. We went there for lunch and left wanting to come back to try their dinner menu. Is definitely a place I would go back to eat again."
Dined on 6/5/2014
While my main course was really
good, others at my table were not blown away. We were quite late and the waitress did not make me feel bad about it which I really appreciated. The rating says that the costs of the meal should be at $$ but it was extremely pricey for what we got. Don't know that I'd go back sadly unless I were just going for the asapao which I thought was really tasty."
Dined on 6/4/2014
I had gone there for lunch and
thought of it for dinner. I wanted a place with good energy and atmosphere and interesting menu. Mio fit the bill. Mio is a beautiful restaurant with different eating areas. There was a good selection of appetizers. We had the pan roasted calamari that was excellent. While fried calamari is always a sure bet, it was nice that they prepared it differently, and it was tasty. The fritters stuffed with crab were a slight disappointment, but not enough of a disappointment to stop eating them. We both ordered the whole fried red snapper. The presentation was superb and it was prepared very well. I enjoyed the sides that came with the snapper. Mio has a good beverage selection and love the mojitos. "
Dined on 5/30/2014
Mio is a beautiful restaurant and
the service is great! BUT when it comes down to food... it needs flavor. Puertorrican Lechon meat was a bit blend. Arroz con Gandules tasted like yellow rice and not to Gandules. We were there for Mofongo which traditionally is made out of plantains... Mio only offers yuca mofongo. The 1st 2 drinks we ordered during happy hour, were charged without the happy hour saving. So... my point is... got to make the food better"
Dined on 5/23/2014
My friend had the rockfish, I had
the seafood soup, we had the calamari/mushroom appetizer and everything was sooo delicious! We sat outside on a beautiful day and caught up for the first time in months. The waiter was average, but I will say that he described the menu well and never pressured us to leave. We had a wonderful night, wonderful food and drinks and I would definitely return!"
Dined on 5/23/2014
Foodies would love this place. I
know I did! I had business lunch meeting. Had the salmon and switched out the vegetables for the kale salad. We also had an appetizer that was also good. "
Dined on 5/23/2014
My salmon, which was served on
spinach and brussell sprouts was excellent. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. The service was great. I would definitely come back."
Dined on 5/23/2014
A lovely experience from start to
finish. Food was interesting and tasty. Service outstanding. Good wine selection. Pleasant outdoor setting. We will return as we are neighbors. "
Dined on 5/22/2014
Simply great food and outstanding
service at reasonable prices in a wonderful atmosphere...would highly recommend. "

Already made reservations for my
2nd. trip! Have also recommended MIO to several of my friends. My new go to place when I want to feel like I'm back in San Juan."
Dined on 5/11/2014
Love this place...I absolutely
thought the food was delicious...Could not get enough. The Spicy Machu Pisco is amazing. However, the service for lunch was quite slow which is a huge deterrent when you have limited time."
Dined on 5/9/2014
My husband and I were in DC for a
week, which meant 6 dinners out. We tried to set up a variety of reservations looking at the information and reviews provided on Open Table and Mio was one we selected. This ended up being the best meal we had all week! We even considered cancelling our reservation for the next night and going back! Delicious! If you have a chance, check them out! Also, plan to have dessert. Two were recommended to us, so we each had one and shared. They were outstanding!"
Dined on 5/7/2014
The food and service were good,
but I will NEVER go back. This was one of the noisiest restaurants I have ever visited. By the time my wife and I left the restaurant, what was supposed to be a relaxing evening ended up as a miserable time. We both left tense and with headaches. After walking for about an hour around DC, we finally were able to relax and unwind. A restaurant should not result in more stress, which is precisely what Mio did. Clearly there are ways the restaurant can reduce noise, such as having a solid wall between the bar area and tables. But, the restaurant has chosen to keep noise at this unacceptable level. Too bad, because the food and service were good. But I will never return."
Dined on 5/2/2014
I love to have the steak and
plantains with rice and beans here and they also have some really awesome empanadas! Great service and very accommodating."
Dined on 4/30/2014
food was tasty, but portions were
ridiculously small. The over all experience was confusing in that it just did not work well: the main course would have left any small child hungry (and broke). $85 for two for lunch was excessive and there was no alcohol consumed. (I brought a client who confessed he was still hungry when finished eating. Ouch!) The experience was so poor it drew my attention to other inconsistencies... PS: it had been my second time to the restaurant, and the first - which was a weekend and not weekday visit - was fine. "
Dined on 4/28/2014
I have never had a bad meal there.
Manuel, the owner is a terrific host. The food brings me back to my Mom's home cooking. Love it!!!"
Dined on 4/20/2014
Incredible experience and
delicious food fit for foodies everywhere! A real gem, not to mention the ambiance was romantic, and welcoming."

Who won the election for Mission Viejo City Council? New numbers recently released by the Orange County Registrar of Voters reveals the results may change before every vote is counted.
Challenger Wendy Bucknum trails Councilwoman Cathy Schlicht by 247 votes as of yesterday's vote count. That's fewer votes than she trailed by early Wednesday morning after all electronic votes had been tallied. Then Bucknum trailed by 302 votes.
The percentage-difference of the total votes between the two candidates remains the same at .5 percent.
Now 7,918 Mission Viejo votes have not been counted, the registrar website says.
"That was a surprise to me," Bucknum said Friday morning.
In an e-mail to supporters Wednesday, Bucknum said "it looks like we're going to end up a few votes short of our goal of election to the Mission Viejo City Council."
Now her message is different:
"I did send a message out saying it looks like we're a few votes shy, but I did not have that information about the provisional ballots and absentee ballots."
Schlicht has 23.1 percent of the total vote count and Bucknum has 22.6 percent.
Here are the votes that remain uncounted:
Vote-by-Mails: 5,667
Provisionals: 2,251
Provisional ballots aren't counted until the elligibility of the voter is verified.
Each voter could vote for two of the six candidates for city council on each ballot. So far 57,205 votes have been counted, which make up a maximum 28,600 possible ballots. That means at least 27 percent of Mission Viejo voter ballots have not yet been counted.
Also left to count are the county's estimated 17,000 paper ballots.

The nation's unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent in September, its lowest level in nearly four years, according to figures released Friday.
High unemployment, and previous promises by President Barack Obama to keep the rate below 8 percent if the stimulus passed, have been repeated often on the campaign trail.
The next employment report is due just days before the November election, so these September figures may be the last jobs report with any impact on the election.
SO HERE'S THE QUESTION: Do you think this unemployment report helps President Obama secure re-election?
Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
According to the Illinois Department of Economic Security, the unemployment rate in the 11 out of 12 Chicago metro areas has declined compared with a year ago, falling 1.7 points to 8.8 percent in the Chicago-Naperville-Joliet area. Since last August, IDES also reports the Chicago-Naperville-Joliet area has seen a 1 percent increase in jobs, for a total of 35,000 new jobs. Economists suggest an ideal U.S. unemployment rate is between 4 and 6 percent.

UPDATE 10 a.m. Saturday: This intersection re-opened at 9 p.m. Friday and remained clear this morning, according to Schell-Vista Fire Department.
Original story:
North Bay residents are used to seeing Highway 121 flooding at the intersection with Highway 12, south of Sonoma, during heavy rains.
But vehicles don't always get stuck there and have to be towed.
"We try to close the road before that happens," a Highway Patrol officer told Patch on Friday.
But at 4 a.m. Friday, Sonoma Creek started backing up and it wasn't long before some cars were stranded.
CHP closed the highway at 5:30 a.m. due to "extreme flooding." Four vehicles had to be left on the road because it wasn't safe to send tow trucks in to remove them, spokesman Jake Ramos told Patch.
Ramos said it's possible Highway 121 may open at about 4 p.m.
Caltrans scraper trucks are attempting to move water off the highway, as tow trucks remove vehicles.
Motorists are taking Watmaugh Road out of Sonoma to Highway 12 and Napa Road.
We will continue to update storm coverage on Sonoma Valley Patch.

The railroad's officials decided the limited service would work for them and commuters "due to the severe impact of the winter storm on our service territory and projected lower ridership." Here's the text of this morning's release:
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) expects most Friday morning rush hour service to operate as planned, but heavy overnight snowfall may lead to further service changes in northern points of the MTA Metro-North Railroad network. Weather- related delays remain possible on all services and customers should consult www.mta.info before starting their morning commute.
Metro-North plans to operate a Saturday service, which is about 40% of normal weekday service. However, service is subject to change depending on conditions north of Croton-Harmon on the Hudson Line, north of North White Plains on the Harlem Line, and north of Stamford on the New Haven Line. The first trains operating from those terminals will be diesels to ensure they can plow through any accumulated snow. Off-peak fares will be charged.
4:29AM—Bee-Line buses and Paratransit are not operating at this time. Service will start once road conditions permit safe operations.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Death penalty opponents are appealing to Oregon lawmakers, asking a state House committee to allow the public to vote on outlawing capital punishment.
The House Judiciary Committee heard testimony about the death penalty on Tuesday.
Death-penalty critics arrived at their position for a variety of reasons. Some are morally opposed to the government taking someone's life. Other say it costs too much, or that the risk of executing an innocent person is too high.
Supporters say society's most egregious killers should be executed for their crimes. They say Oregon's extensive appeal process ensures innocent people aren't executed.
The committee did not decide whether to advance the measure, which would put the death penalty repeal on the 2014 ballot.

Just wondering if anyone has compiled a list of people willing to do ground transport to the various airports you use? I'm new to the board - today - and have spoken by phone with Jim Carney a few times, though we've always managed to pull off ground transport for our shelter dogs so far. The only potential we had was a nearly 100 pound tortoise from upper Ohio going to either the Nashville Zoo or myself for further transport to Florida. Didn't go through on the senders end.
Anyway, I know we've got some great volunteers here at our shelter - one has driven dogs over 3 hours in each direction to help - and I wondered if having a ground transport group available to pick up fur kids from shelters or rescues and transport them to the airports would be of any help?

Web services are basically a modern form of a remote procedure call (RPC) system. They allow applications on one machine to execute operations on another machine. Systems integrators use web services to make widely differing systems talk to one another.
Table of contents
An Example
To understand, let's take a look at a hypothetical example. Imagine a class like this:
NewsTicker ournews = new NewsTicker(); string headline = ournews.GetHeadline(1); Console.WriteLine(headline);
This could be a local function operating on your own machine, or it could be a web service. If it were a web service, the actual code that returns the headline might be running on some other machine somewhere on the internet. You don't have to know what it's doing; there might be a database on the other end of the service, a screen-scraper, or a carrier-pigeon-message translation service. The code on the remote webserver might be PHP, Java, Python, or COBOL. That's the point of web services.
Technical Background: SOAP
Under the hood, Mono uses a protocol called SOAP to make web services work just like other methods. In the example above, when GetHeadline() is called, Mono generates an XML file that describes an information request. It could look like this:
<webservice url="http://somenewsservice.com/webservice"> <function name="GetHeadLine" > <int name="number" value="1" /> </function> </webservice>
In the real world it looks very different and much more complicated, but that's the basic logic. The remote webserver reads the request, interprets it, and runs some business logic. It sends back an XML response packet something like this:
<webservice url="http://somenewsservice.com/webservice"> <function name="GetHeadLine" > <int name="return" value="This is some new from CNN" /> </function> </webservice>
Mono knows how to take XML response packets and turn them into data your application can use.
Internal Communication
In order to use a web service, Mono requires a descriptor file written in WSDL (Web Services Description Language). WSDL is an XML description of the API for a given web service. Mono's tool wsdl knows how to translate a WSDL file into a C# library that can run that web service. The local library file is a wrapper around the web service, but it gets installed into the GAC just like any other library.
Consuming Web Services
As an example of what can be done with web services, let's use a part of Google's publicly accessible web services, the Google spell checker. When you enter "spelll checker" in Google, it will ask you if you meant "spell checker". With the Google web service, you can use that function directly from C#.
First Steps: Creating the Local Stub
To create the local library that will invoke Google's web service, we'll use their WSDL file. You can get the Google WSDL files at http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl. To generate the C# stub source type:
wsdl GoogleSearch.wsdl
This will result in GoogleSearchService.cs . Compile with:
gmcs /target:library GoogleSearchService.cs -r:System.Web.Services
The above command line instructs the compiler to generate a library, and to reference (-r:) the System.Web.Services library.
Now you have the final stub assembly: GoogleSearchService.dll
Google License key
Google does lock the web service with a special key. You can obtain a key at https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount. This key allows ~50 actions per day. You must replace my sample key with yours.
Application 1: The Google Spell Checker on a Webpage
We will start by using the spell checker on a simple web page. First you will have to drop the stub GoogleSearchService.dll in your ASP.NET bin directory. The example is very simple to understand.
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
Hello WebService!
 <form runat="server">
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

<asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server"></asp:Label>

<input type="submit" value="Submit" runat="server"></input>
 </form>
This will look like this:
The code where the web service is accessed is marked red. To test the service enter "spelll checker" for example, and watch it correct your spelling.
Application 2: A Console Application
You can also consume the WebService with a Console or Gtk# application. You'll need to reference GoogleSearchService.dll when you compile.
mcs /r:GoogleSearchService.dll spellchecker.cs
The Code:
using System; class SpellChecker { public static void Main(string [] args) { // Your license key const string licensekey = "FCszK/FQFHJWQE1n5OkeGmZAWzCFY5+7"; // Create a Google Search object GoogleSearchService Service1 = new GoogleSearchService(); // Ask for spelling suggestion // The first argument is your key // The second one, the text the user should enter. String suggestion = Service1.doSpellingSuggestion(licensekey, args[0]); // Display the suggestion, if any if (suggestion == null) Console.WriteLine("[No suggestion]"); else Console.WriteLine(suggestion); } }
If you want to do more, you will require documentation of the web service. For Google's API, one place to look is in the comments of the WSDL file. Individual web service providers are responsible for providing good documentation, though you may be able to use the C# introspection tools or read the source generated by wsdl for a slightly better idea of how any given web service works.

Mountain component manufacturers design brake levers and shifters to be mounted to one clamp, saving on precious handlebar space, making adjustment easier & quicker, and just plain looking better. Usually, these only mate with the corresponding product from the same manufacturer, so Problem Solvers decided to mix 'em up. Their MisMatch Adapters allow you to mix 'n' mach Shimano I-Spec and SRAM MatchMaker products.
Note: 2014 Shimano I-Spec-B brakes are not compatible with the MisMatch 1 adaptor and will ned the MisMatch 1.1.

Fantastic idea for those looking for a clean 1 clamp setup. Shimano brakes are world's better than Avid/Srams...so thsee make for a nice combo. The cost is terrible....these shouldn't cost $40 bucks since they are a simple CNC part, but that's classic for the bike market.

Comments about Problem Solvers Mismatch Adaptors:
Unfortunately the only option to mate new Shimano brakes and SRAM shifters. They were easy to install, and did the job. However, the threads on one of the nuts needed to have a tap run through it to clean the threads and allow the bolt to attach. Not a big deal, but for the price I would expect this to have been done at the factory.

MANATEE -- Blake Medical Center was approved as a verified trauma center Friday by the Florida Department of Health, a landmark event in an often grueling three-year process to date for the hospital.
While Blake has treated 1,200 critically injured patients since getting provisional trauma status in November 2011, its status was uncertain after Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, Tampa General Hospital and two other hospitals filed a lawsuit regarding the center against the Department of Health.
The lawsuit claimed that a trauma center at Blake would siphon off millions of dollars from their trauma customer bases, the Herald has reported.
But while that suit still twists and turns through the legal system, Blake is looking forward.
The Department of Health feels confident that because Blake's application was submitted before the issue of new trauma centers was raised, Blake should not be threatened, State Sen. Bill Galvano, R-Bradenton, said Friday.
"Can someone bring a challenge?" asked Galvano. "Theoretically, yes. But I don't believe there is a basis to bring that challenge."
Blake's trauma team welcomed the news, even as the Department of Health held a public workshop in Tampa Friday allowing discussion on how trauma status should be awarded in the future.
Representatives from older area trauma centers, like Bayfront Medical Center and Tampa General, argued that their emergency services were effective and competitive trauma centers were not needed.
But Dr. Brian Kimbrell, Blake's trauma medical director, spoke on behalf of Blake, stating that Manatee County patients were not all being served effectively by the nearest trauma center being in the Tampa Bay area.
Kimbrell told the audience at the meeting that Manatee County ranked 12th out of 67 Florida counties in morbidity.
"What we have discovered is that only 20 percent of people from our service area who need it are going to trauma center for care," Kimbrell said.
Kimbrell said he expected that number to radically change in 2013.
"Hugs and pats on the back, maybe even the trauma team dancing a little jig," said hospital spokeswoman Stephanie Petta of the moment at 3:43 p.m. when an email came from the Department of Health.
Blake's actual designation is "Level II Trauma Center."
"A trauma center is a pooling of resources to be available immediately," said Dr. Brian Kimbrell, Blake's trauma medical director. "For example, we have a surgeon in house who sleeps at the hospital. We have surgeons available 24/7.
"Level twos can deal with 97 percent of all the traumas," added Kimbrell. "We have four neurosurgeons, and that is rare and hard to come by. That is a great resource. We have 12 orthopedic surgeons and one trauma orthopedic specialist who has training in difficult cases, like complex pelvic fractures."
That's handy because of the 1,200 patients Blake has treated in its first year, the top three causes were vehicle crashes, motorcycle crashes and falls, Petta said.
At a regular hospital, a surgeon is usually on call and needs to drive in from his home, often in the middle of the night, Kimbrell said.
"Our operating room staff sleeps over, too," Petta said.
Level I trauma centers tend to be in large cities, are affiliated with universities and colleges and possess burn centers and highly-specialized resources, like the ability to reattach a limb, Kimbrell said.
Blake's parent company, Hospital Corporation of America, invested more than $16 million for Blake to become a trauma center. It spent $2.5 million for construction of two trauma bays in the emergency room and a control room. It built a ramp for the helicopter landing pad and a second helicopter landing area. There was $5 million spent in salaries for roughly 30 extra staff, Petta said.
"There was a real community need," Petta added. "Trauma was very underserved."
Blake was already focusing on emergency care when its officials decided to make the jump to trauma.
"We had a great emergency room, a chest pain center, primary stroke center and we had worked with local EMS providers to improve the chances of patients who have had very serious heart attacks," Petta said. "We felt we were a good fit. We excelled in the emergency world."
Bayfront Medical Center and the other hospitals that sued the Department of Health won the suit, but the Department of Health appealed and the case has reached the District Court of Appeals, Galvano said.
"There is a decision pending there," Galvano said.
The suit claimed a Department of Health rule was outdated that said hospitals in specific "trauma service areas," one being No. 13 -- Manatee, Sarasota and DeSoto counties -- could become trauma centers if they desired, Kimbrell said.
"The Department of Health believes it was a valid rule and Blake's approval was granted under that rule but what the department is doing with its hearing is looking forward," Galvano said. "But it will not impact where the Department has been.
"Blake Medical stepped up and they are serving the region," Galvano added. "When you see they had more than 1,000 cases in the first year, you realize that is a substantial number of life-and-death situations. I think having Blake in Manatee County fulfills our state policy of having timely, accessible and quality health care and those who challenge it are more interested in market share than delivering health care."

Experienced an almost perfect wine pairing for Cantonese Seafood at Maple Yip.
After taking a couple of out-of-town relatives to try out O Mei's Giant Lobster 4 ways two nights ago. This evening, it was Maple Yip's turn to show off their Steamed whole fish skill and wow my guests!
In addition to ordering their house special " Steamed whole Floridian Strawberry Grouper, Cantonese style" and their " Baked fried rice in lotus leaf wrapper topped with whole Dungeness Crab". We also had a few interesting and tasty dishes including a seldom found " Stirred fry pig's stomach tip with preserved Chinese Mustard Green and Bitter Melon" and "Braised giant goose web/feet with equally giant Chinese Shitaki mushrooms".
As expected, the fish was perfectly cooked to the nano second! The fried rice was one of the best tasting fried rice dish I've eaten in the GTA. Can easily rub shoulder with Hong Kong's Michelin 1* Cantonese specialist, Yung Kee at its prime!. The stirred fry pigs stomach had lots of smokey wok-hay with the various ingredients providing all sort of textural crunchy and chewy sensation as well as a combination of interesting sweet, sour, savory and bitter taste profile. The Goose web was unbelievably off-the-bone tender and saturated with the mushroom/oyster sauce taste and aroma.
However, it was the pairing of the seafood dish with the bottle of "1998 Weinbach Schlossberg Grand Cru Riesling - Ste Catherine" that made the whole dining experience unforgettable. Intense and complex, this Alsatian Riesling, with all the nuance of a fine German late harvest Riesling, but less sweet, was a perfect match for the delicate sweet meat of both the fish and crab and their accompanying sweetish premium soya sauce. Guess I'll bring along a bottle of nice Riesling each time I order whole steamed fish!
Hey Charles. Is Maple Yip the best place for steamed whole fish in GTA? What was the price per lb for the grouper?
I don't know if it makes a huge difference, but the only times I've had steamed whole fish, it's been butterflied, which may help the aromatics flavour the fish more...does that make sense?
re: grandgourmand
Maple Yips chef is known as the ' Guru' of steamed fish in the GTA. Immaculate timing irrespective of size of fish! The fish we had was specially ordered for us in advance. About 2.5 pounds. Cost around $50, inclusive of preparation cost.
If you like steamed whole fish, O Mei also offers ''LIVE French Turbot' at around $24-27 per pound. Again preparation price included.
Emperor has ' LIVE Black Bass' for around $33 per pound. But the fish can be huge! 4+ pounds. Usually prepared 2-3 ways. Soup, braised belly and stirred fry fillet.
The steamed Grouper we had the other night was so memorable, my relatives requested a re-visit tonight.
Whilst we had the more common varietal " Red Grouper' a day ago, tonight, Chef Ho managed to acquire a much rarer ' Red Hind Grouper' from his supplier for us. 'Wild Line Caught' and only available about 20 per week, this fish tasted spectacular and sooo fresh!!
For those of you fellow chowhounder who wanted to try, do give owner Maple or Chef Ho at least two or three days advance notice to secure the fish for your party! Worth every cent!
re: Charles Yu
Looks fantastic! I'm planning to take my family there next weekend. How much did this cost (how many lbs) and was it noticeably better than the Red? Can you give an English pronunciation of what this would be called in Cantonese? You did a great job for the Strawberry Grouper in another thread!
re: Charles Yu
Hi Charles, we have tried the strawberry Grouper 3 times after reading from your thread. We have tried the whole fish steamed twice and other time have it 2 ways. I have to agree that the chef is the guru of steamed fish. But I found that the taste of the fish was not that impressed, it lack of that taste of freshness.
re: jojobobo
@ jojobobo: May be you are used to eating steamed 'LIVE'' fish from the Orient?! Even though the fish acquired by Maple Yip was freshly chilled and airfreight from Florida, comparing to 'live' ones, there bound to be a difference in taste. Just as eating sushi in Japan vs elsewhere!
@ jl_1978. Red Grouper is pronounced ' Hung Barn ' in Cantonese.
Red Hind Grouper is pronounced ' Dong Sing Barn '.
re: Charles Yu
Thanks Charles! I went to pre-order the grouper, chicken with glutinous rice, and crab with rice in lotus leaf. They said they won't know which of the red hind or strawberry grouper they'll have until a few days before. I forgot you wrote "Barn", so I said "Bahn" to the woman and she had no clue what I wanted (A "red board"? lol). My Cantonese was good enough to tell her it's a fish though.
re: jl_1978
re: Charles Yu
Thanks again for the tips! Had the red hind grouper, crab with rice in lotus leaf, chicken stuffed with glutinous rice, beef tenderloin, seafood bird's nest, and some veggies. Everything was prepared perfectly and the favourite ended up being the chicken! I was surprised when they brought a whole chicken out and ended up cutting it at the table, realizing that it was deboned. Nice crispy skin, moist meat and very tasty rice!
The grouper was also really good, but at $57 (I think it was about 2.5lbs), I don't know if I'd get it again over a cheaper variety that I'm sure would be cooked just as perfectly. I'm glad I tried it though.

For The Daily Item
MILLERSBURG — If Line Mountain thought that it could go into Millersburg and roll over the Indians just like it did a year ago, the Eagles were sorely mistaken.
Despite racking up more than 400 yards on the ground, Line Mountain made too many mistakes and Millersburg took advantage of them.
The Eagles fumbled the ball three times and committed five penalties of 10 yards or more to fall to the Indians, 28-26, in the Tri-Valley League matchup on Friday.
"We had too many mental mistakes, too many penalties, a couple of turnovers and that will do it for you," said Line Mountain coach Rodney Knock, whose team beat Millersburg 38-0 a year ago. "We were lucky to be in the game at the end considering how many mistakes we made.
"Millersburg played well and they came ready to play, and we didn't come out ready to play and it showed," added Knock.
The first big mistake Line Mountain (1-1, 0-1 TVL) made occurred early in the second quarter.
Moments after Millersburg (1-1, 1-0) scored on a 15-yard run by Tylor Erdman to take a 7-6 lead, Christian Wingard squib-kicked the ensuing kickoff, which the Indians recovered at the Line Mountain 37.
Three plays later, the Indians found the end zone again as Austin Lehman caught a 22-yard pass from 6-foot-4 quarterback Ethan Troutman.
After its next drive fizzled out, Line Mountain got new life when Garrett Hepner recovered a fumble by Millersburg fullback Connor Keim at the Indians' six-yard line.
The Eagles' Hunter Hojnacki quickly turned that turnover into six points when he bounded into the end zone from six yards out. Seconds later, Cory Warford tied the game at 14 by carrying the ball in on the conversion.
Warford ran for a game-high 228 yards on 21 carries.
But any momentum Line Mountain had from the touchdown was erased in a big way.
On the first play of Millersburg's next series, Austin Lehman took off for a 70-yard touchdown run to give the Indians the lead for good at 21-14.
And if fumbling the ball away on the final play of the first half wasn't bad enough, Millersburg's Alex Frederick returned the second half's opening kickoff 80 yards for another touchdown to make the score 28-14.
"Big plays and too many mistakes — that sums it up," said Knock. "Our kids, I give them credit, because they played to the end, they played hard and they played to the end."
With seven seconds remaining in the third quarter, Line Mountain got a 56-yard touchdown run from Warford, and then late in the fourth quarterback Ryan Reed ran for a one yard score.
Reed finished with 147 yards on 21 carries for Line Mountain.
However, the Eagles couldn't convert on the conversions of either touchdown.

S.F.'s Longest Food and Drink Lines, Ranked

When Hurricane Katrina reminded us that New Orleans was a national treasure, I wasted no time in enjoying a nostalgic, lush, and luscious dinner of New Orleans-style cooking at Andrew Jaeger's House of Seafood & Jazz. On the drive home, Robert remembered that he'd heard of another, more raffish-sounding place, recently opened South of Market, that sounded like it had its roots in the bayou, too. But where was it? Somehow we turned down the right street, and there it was, just a block below Market, in the gritty, unchic part of SOMA, on Sixth: Hooker's Gumbo Shack, in the dark of night looking like it had been there forever.
I waited a bit before scheduling a dinner there with two guys from work, who made the requisite crack about the restaurant's name, inquiring whether the gumbo was prepared by hookers, or for them. I'd checked out the Web site by then and told them the Hooker was owner James Hooker, a San Francisco native whose "California style of soul food" incorporates Southern country, Creole, and Caribbean influences, and who has undoubtedly heard every possible version of the gag.
Earlier in the day Joyce had called, stuck at home and hoping I'd be able to join her for an impromptu lunch. I'd been tethered to my desk, but later, when the dependably undependable duo canceled right on schedule, Joyce was still available to join me for an early dinner.

We entered a long corner space, one side taken up by a white-tiled open kitchen, and lined with rows of tables on the other, cheered up by a festive wallcovering of vertical stripes, black and a pink so hot it was almost red, at the same time circus-y and Vogue-y, a wallpaper designed by Elsa Schiaparelli. There didn't seem to be a whole lot of choice on the one-page printed paper menu: two gumbos, one seafood, one not; a half-dozen sandwiches and lighter entrees; four dinner entrees; four salads; a half-dozen vegetable sides; and a couple of desserts. We decided to share a classic seafood gumbo (which felt a bit pricey, both for the neighborhood and for the modest if cheerful surroundings, at $24.95, but the menu said it contained "Lot's [sic] of Fresh Crab!") and an oyster po' boy, quickly adding a starter of crab cakes when our affable and friendly server, whom I recognized as Mr. Hooker from his picture on the Web site, told us they were a special that night.
And they were special: two of the biggest crab cakes ever, juicy, crabby, with hot-sauce-induced heat. Joyce moaned with delight. There was indeed lots of just-steamed Dungeness crab heaped atop the tomato-y, pleasantly spiced bowl of gumbo, okraless but otherwise brimming with fresh vegetables, bits of chicken, shrimp, and chunks of sausage in its soupy broth. I'd been a trifle worried because the Web site had described the restaurant's cooking as "healthy," in a way ("low fat, rich in nutrients") that sometimes translates -- especially in adapting a cuisine that doesn't give a damn about health and is only concerned with tasting good -- to faint flavor. But this was a robust, well-flavored stew, and the crab was as good as it could be.
I was more impressed with it than with the oyster po' boy: The oysters, on a boring roll lined with one limp lettuce leaf, were more flabby than crisp. Not so the freshly made sweet potato chips alongside. We also shared sides of rich, sugary candied yams, here called yams with sweet onions, and made from fresh yams rather than the usual canned; nicely bitter chopped collard greens; and the only dish that betrayed its California-zation, too-clean "dirty rice" with not a hint of the chopped chicken gizzards and livers that give the concoction its name, just disappointing minced vegetables. Joyce was more a fan of the thin, chewy, seemingly unsalted hot-water corn bread than I was.
We were delighted by both the refreshing homemade berry lemonade and a blueberry cobbler a la mode, but I was even more impressed when I got the check and found out that the gumbo I'd thought was the $24.95 size was in reality the smaller $12.95 version, which easily fed us both.
A night later, I felt drawn back to Hooker's after Hilary and I saw the delightful Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio a few blocks away at the Metreon. I loved Jane Anderson's quirky script (based on local author Terry Ryan's memoir) and direction, and Julianne Moore's spunky, luminous portrayal of the mother of 10 who supported her family by entering slogan and essay contests. But the truly chilling moment was near the end, when Mom wins a prize that includes a weekend in a hotel, where she, for the first time, "sleeps in a bed she hasn't made and eats a meal she did not prepare." I wondered: Have I eaten more meals prepared by myself or others? I figure if you include the 17 years of meals prepared by my own mom, it's a tossup.
I really enjoyed this meal prepared by others: a silky, thick, grilled New York steak, an excellent piece of meat ("I had it with eggs for my breakfast -- it's my birthday!" Mr. Hooker told us), sided by luscious caramelized onions, for me; and big, fat fried chicken wings with collard greens, a bargain at $6.25, for Hilary, who had never had collards before. She liked them! We exited the brightly lit rooms for the slightly creepy walk back to our cars (the Web site's characterization of Hooker's as "conveniently located near Union Square and Moscone Center" may be a trifle optimistic).

Apple triggers 'religious' reaction in fans' brains, report saysFor Apple fans, the brand triggers a reaction in the brain that's not unlike that of religious devotees, according to a BBC documentary series that cites neurological research.
The neuroscientists ran a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test on an Apple fanatic and discovered that images of the technology company's gadgets lit up the same parts of the brain as images of a deity do for religious people, the report says.
The first episode of the documentary shows Apple employees "whipped up into some sort of crazy, evangelical frenzy" at the recent opening of an Apple store in London.

If you've ever turned up at an airport and tried to park your car without having booked a space, you'll know how exorbitant the price of airport parking can be. But did you know that if you book in advance with us, you can save up to 60 per cent on your airport parking? Thanks to our amazing deals on parking at 26 UK airports, plus two in the Republic of Ireland, taking your own car is very likely to be cheaper than a return taxi - and more convenient all round than getting a friend to give you a lift. And you dont have to worry about the car parks being full either your space is guaranteed.
Anyone whos ever caught an early flight will be familiar with struggling out of bed before dawn and fighting their way through traffic with an extra-strong cup of coffee to hand. Wouldnt it be nice to roll out of bed and find yourself at the airport? You can do just that by staying at an airport hotel. Why drive past a row of great hotels at 5am when you could be tucked up in bed in one of their rooms?
How about spending those three hours before your flight actually enjoying yourself, as opposed to waiting around in a busy airport terminal? Here's how: book into an executive lounge. They're not just for executives you know. And, when you book with us, they don't have an executive price tag either. No really, by booking in advance you can bag yourself a bargain.

LD Christopher Landy of Vibrant Design LLC lit the Woodie Awards for mtvU (MTV Networks' 24-hour college network) for the fourth year and collaborated on media design.
Lighting designer Christopher Landy of Vibrant Design LLC lit the Woodie Awards for mtvU (MTV Networks' 24-hour college network) for the fourth year and collaborated on media design for the annual show that recognizes music voted best by college students nationwide. The show aired on mtvU, MTV, MTV2, and Palladia in December and is currently available online at Woodies.MTV.com.
Once again, New York City's Roseland Ballroom played host to the awards. "The show is a tribute to the music college students live their lives to," says Landy. "Keeping that in mind, we chose to take an alternative approach to the show. The challenge we were given was to rethink how we use the room—to invent a unique and dynamic ground-plan. A show like this requires two stages: a performers' stage and a presenters' stage." They chose to turn the room around, using the old architectural stage as the performers' stage, which Landy says gave a long horizontal shot in 16x9, and they placed the presenters' stage in a corner, allowing them to show off the seldom-seen architecture of the room. "The Woodies have a different vibe than MTV's Video Music Awards—VMAs—but all the elements are there for a major two-hour awards show," Landy adds. "It's a huge show; we cram a lot in and push Roseland to the limit."
Eric Conte, vice president of production at MTV and the show's executive producer, calls The Woodies "indie music's annual moment of truth. Chris does a great job creating exciting custom looks for all of the show performers. He works closely with each artist, explores their motivations, and brings their songs to life in a very powerful way."
Landy and production designer Tom Lenz of 513 opted to incorporate more video into this year's show. "We used the venue's balcony as a projection surface that wrapped the stage," Landy explains. "For the balcony, we used nine [Barco High End Systems] DL.3 projectors, blended to create one 90'-wide image. This allowed for some pretty cool imaging. Tom designed this massive truss that looked like it was crashing into the balcony. We wrapped it in video and utilized it for the presenters' names. Instead of traditional masking, we used the low-res G-LEC LightFrame."
The performance stage featured three screens upstage for high-resolution video content and six low-res screens on wagons. Each wagon was approximately 8'-tall by 4'-wide, with transparent low-res video panels on top and Vari-Lite VL2500 spots and Philips Color Kinetics ColorBlasts. "The wagons were brilliant," says Landy. "They allowed us to customize the look for each band beyond the lighting or the media content." Two I-MAG screens, provided by Nocturne Productions, bookended the stage.
Landy teamed with Lenz and visual media programmer Cameron Yeary to craft original content for the bands. "Some of the bands provided imagery that acted as a catalyst for us to run with," Landy recalls. "It's great to work with up-and-coming bands. Often a show like this offers them more production value than any venue they've played. Some of the bands have yet to really participate with designers on a collaborative process. It's pretty gratifying."
Landy notes that, when he and Lenz partner on projects, they are often called on to do more and more video elements, bringing together designers and artists they know can deliver amazing work. "We created characters that could walk and dance around the length of the balcony," Landy says. "We created light-writing images to announce the bands, we shot original footage, and we made all of our content unique. We made a lot of work for ourselves, but we had a great time doing it."
"Chris and Tom work well together to make sure the stage design works with lighting and projection," adds Conte. "That provides great efficiencies in production and results in a very unique-looking show that we're very proud of."
Scharff Weisberg provided lighting and video gear and helped manage the video. Associate LD was Matthew Piercy, with gaffer Ronnie Skopak and lighting programmer Cory FitzGerald. MTV's Ross Martin was also an executive producer, with Tracy Hellerud as supervising producer.

is there a how 2 on removing wing mirrors ?
is there a how 2 on removing wing mirrors ?
200 Horses nice !!!
As for glass itself, slide your hand flat behind the mirror from the outer edge and just pop it. As for whole assy, remove smal triangle plastic cover inside the doors, remove insulation and ther is a spline bolt which holds the whole unit. To remove triangle plastic you might have to remove door card as i never tried to remove it without touching door card.
Professional chiptuning (most makes and models) and diagnostics (VAG, BMW, Vauxhall).
where can i buy the spline socket that i need to remove the whole unit ? i had a look in halfords but they didnt have any i could have a look on ebay ! do you know what size it is that i need ?
200 Horses nice !!!


text: Crucible is a classic revival from the Second Wave of Phasic Construc-tivism. Nearly all the hallmarks of the obscure Manifesto are present: geometriculated letter chassis, protrusive lateral escapements, and encyphered stanchions based on the Venerated Slope. The only element lacking are the transpersive sines, but they are more than compensated for by the emplacement of fourth-order bulkheads.

NOTE: During the race I'm at a separate blog post. Thanks.
* * *
Good morning from Watkins Glen International.
If you haven't seen them already, here are our stories in today's paper: a main preview and report of qualifying by me and report of qualifying by me, as well as a Nationwide race report as well as a notebook focusing on Western New York natives by Larry Ott.
We'll have a few notes here leading up to the race, when I'll do a live interactive blog. I keep notes on the race anyway -- it will be something I reference when I'm putting my story together later on.
9:21 a.m. As any race fan (or race reporter) knows, It's always great to get to the track very early on race day.
The drive up from Corning was pretty smooth -- I took an alternate route to stay away from potential backups and clogged infield roads. A house close to Corning on Route 414 was decorated with some serious Jeff Gordon material, including a birthday wish (he turned 39 on was Aug. 4). The local police, as they have for years, have divided the two-lane roads to the track into three lanes with temporary barriers -- a big help for the tens of thousands of fans making their way to the track on race day.
9:49 a.m. A shout-out to Mother Nature for what has been a fantastic weather weekend, one thing that was missing last year when the race was rained out and pushed to Monday for the first time.
11:47 a.m. Went for my annual Sunday morning walk around the infield, which was pretty great considering the weather, what seemed like a better-than-usual crowd and an infield setup that seems to improve every year. There was a time where it was quite cramped when one walked around the merchandise trailers, but the layout has improved in the last couple of years.
The Turn 10 Village -- which consists of various merchandise trailers -- had steady traffic while throngs of people made their way through paths lined with tents set up by various companies, many of them offering freebies or prizes. There was also the Speed television stage, where the network has been broadcasting all weekend, and various food options. Seemed like an improved fan-friendly experience from previous years.
I took some photos and will add them soon.
12:18 p.m. This one will be quick. I just want to thank Watkins Glen International for going to the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que for its media center food this year. Yum.
I also highly recommend the Terrell's Dinosaur Bar-B-Que potato chips, although I'm not sure if the Syracuse company's chips are available in Buffalo. What can I say? Sportswriters become sportswriters for the free food.
12:21 p.m. Race time is about an hour away. The ESPN broadcast starts at 1 p.m.
1:06 p.m. The National Anthem has concluded (former American Idol guy Bo Bice, for those of you in anthem singer fantasy leagues).
1:13 p.m. Time to shift gears (heh). We've got our live blog/chat post up now.

We live in a time today where it would be very difficult to imagine what life was like during the second World War. Our country has been through a lot as of late, but it doesn't really compare to what the millions of people went through in the 40's. My grandfather fought in WWII and Korea and if he were still alive today would be in his 90's. As it is, he passed away of cancer in 1983 and never spent a lot of time discussing his time in battle. I do know he was a gunner's mate who manned the big turrets on merchant marine ships and was sunk three different times. I also know that he was a railroad worker, and eventually worked at an alloy plant, manufacturing steal for the government here in southeast Ohio.
What I did not know about the era he grew up in was how sports in general survived such a harrowing time in our history.
This is the story of one of those teams that flourished during this time and set the standard for success in basketball at THE Ohio State University.
