NSF advises parents to "read warning labels" when buying toys
02.23.10 NSF advises parents to "read warning labels" when buying toys
While at Toy Fair last week, I had the chance to visit with the team from NSF International and talk a bit about a topic that can be very frustrating, toy safety. Following is a quick interview with Dave Parzen, Business Unit Manager for the Consumer Products Safety at NSF. Some good news on the horizon...
Dina: I understand the NSF started testing toys and children's products just last year. What were the reasons behind expanding into these areas?
Dave: NSF International's mission is to protect public health and safety. When more than 20 million toys were recalled in 2007, mostly for having excessive levels of lead in paint, NSF wanted to be proactive and part of the solution to assure kids would be safe when playing with toys. When congress passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act in 2008, NSF International became one of the first labs to be approved by the Consumer Product Safety Commission to test toys. According to the law, all toys sold in the US are required to be tested by an accredited lab like NSF.
Dina: What has been the biggest challenge so far?
Dave: The biggest challenge has been adapting to the constantly changing law. The new CPSIA law can be confusing. Since it is a new law, there are still new pieces that are being added and changed on a daily basis. Part of our responsibility is to help toy manufacturers comply with all the necessary parts of the law. In order to do this, we need to stay up to date with what is going on.
Dina: There is a lot of misinformation out there and most parents are confused. Any tips?
Dave: The best thing parents can do before buying a toy is assure the age grading on the toy is appropriate for the child, read the warning labels for potential hazards, and buy from trusted stores. For more tips and advice, you can also check out NSF International's toy safety blog at playsafer.wordpress.com.
Dina: I've spent hours researching toys. Do you (or will you) have an easily searchable database where parents can look up toys to see if they're safe? If not, is there a database that exists?
Dave: Part of the CPSIA law requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission to establish a public database that will contain information about products that are dangerous. The database is expected to go live sometime in 2011. (YAY!! - that was from me - not dave - although i'm sure he shares my excitement)
Dina: What is the biggest danger to look out for?
Dave: The most common dangers that we see when we test toys are small choking hazards, sharp points, sharp edges, excessive levels of lead, and phthalates.
Dina: Any more advice for parents?
Dave: The industry is evolving as a result of the new legislation, toy safety is moving in the right direction to assure parents and consumers that they toys they buy are safe for their children. Buy smart from second-hand stores. Inspect the toys to verify that they are in good condition and contain all original instructions for proper use. Our recommendation is to be very careful when purchasing used toys and make sure to buy things that are appropriate for your child's age and ability level. Most toys will contain an age grade label, such as 12 months +, or 3+. Use this as a guideline to find developmentally appropriate toys for the given age. Products with small parts, small balls or marbles can be particularly dangerous to children under 3 years old.
Thanks for your time Dave! Keep up the good work!

What is a doula? How can a doula help during my pregnancy and birth?
These are the two most common questions asked by moms-to-be, especially those who are considering natural birth options. Doulas have been around for a long time, but they didn't always have a title.
The earliest "doulas" were sisters, mothers and best friends of the laboring mom. As a profession, personal labor assistants have been around for decades.
The word doula is from a Greek word meaning woman servant. A doula helps a laboring mom gather information, educates her about birth and beyond, provides emotional support and comfort, and serves as a liaison and advocate during her labor.
Before the birth, a doula helps a laboring mom by providing information regarding her birth options. During labor and childbirth, the doula explains procedures and talks with the laboring mom in layman's terms. Because she is not playing the role of OB or midwife, she can be helpful in ways the medical staff cannot.
Whenever your caregiver, whether it be a doctor or midwife, suggests an option or procedure such as "breaking your water," your doula will provide you with the benefits and risks, discuss your alternatives, remind you of your birth plan, and support you regardless of what decision you make.
When a woman is laboring, trying to have a natural birth, she needs encouragement! One of a doula's most important roles is simply telling her client she is doing a wonderful job and that what she's feeling is completely natural.
Because of his lack of training and emotional involvement in the birth, a new father isn't necessarily the best person to provide the specific comfort measures that a doula has the training and experience to deliver. A doula is tasked with constantly providing nourishment and comfort measures, which could include a massage of the lower back and suggesting positions in labor that will help the baby get in proper positioning for the birth.
When evaluating your birth options, consider all your options. There are many to consider, including which caregiver is right for you, all of your birthing preferences, which hospital or birthing center to use, and even what undergarments and other choices for what to wear during your pregnancy and nursing. The last option you would want to neglect is who will be part of your labor support team.

For the past year, shares of Wal-Mart Stores have been stuck in the mud. But that doesn't mean that the world's largest retailer isn't on the move.
A piece by the Economist brings reader up-to-date on initiatives that Wal-Mart Stores WMT -1.09% Wal-Mart Stores Inc. U.S.: NYSE $73.96 -0.82 -1.09% July 31, 2014 11:37 am Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3.82M P/E Ratio 15.19 Market Cap $241.06 Billion Dividend Yield 2.60% Rev. per Employee $216,954 07/31/14 Synchrony Financial Shares Ope... 07/31/14 Target Picks Pepsi Veteran as ... 07/30/14 Synchrony IPO Gets a Tepid Rec...

More quote details and news » (AMZN).
Wal-Mart is "at an inflection point," writes the Economist, using words attributed to Bill Simon, the company's chief executive officer of its U.S. division.
What's not clear is whether the company can overcome problems that have stalled its share price in the past year, including weak U.S. same-store sales at its bricks-and-mortar outlets and a Website that doesn't come close to Amazon's.
"Walmart is some way from fusing a new, Amazonian brain onto a bricks-and-mortar body,'' the Economist adds. "Its e-commerce operation still runs separately from the main American business: it holds its own stock and has its own buying team. Shipping is thought to cost Walmart nearly twice as much per package as it does Amazon. Walmart's e-commerce sales are growing fast and reached $10 billion in 2013. But that is still puny compared with Amazon's $75 billion or so."
Like many Economist profiles on companies, the story fails to value the stock given the company's prospects going forward. Still, anyone who wants an update on the steps Wal-Mart is taking to transform itself should read this article. One thing is for sure: Wal-Mart has miles to go to compete head-to-head with Amazon in cyberspace.

"The company's valuation is also very compelling," writes the StreetAuthority's Marshall Hargrave. "Hess is trading at 7 times earnings, well below its five-year average of 13 times. Shares also trade near its book value per share of $74. Its enterprise value-to-Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) ratio is only 5. Compare that with Exxon Mobil XOM -2.15% Exxon Mobil Corp.

More quote details and news » (BP) at 5.6."
Hargrave does point out that as the U.S. becomes more energy independent and relies less on foreign oil, the price of crude oil is likely to fall – a clear risk to owning Hess or any energy stock. But with a price target of $105, based on the stock trading at a reasonable enterprise value/Ebitda of six times, the stock has huge potential upside.
In recent days, plenty of ink and bytes have been devoted to determining when and where to invest in emerging-markets stocks, a sector that has sharply underperformed U.S. stocks. A story in the Financial Times contends that, "In the view of many fund managers, better bargains are to be had in sovereign bonds than in equities, partly because debt markets tend to be dominated by institutions, which so far are displaying a more enduring faith than retail investors in the emerging markets theme.
"Emerging market [sovereign debt] really does stand out as best value for pension funds," Jim Craige, fund manager at Stone Harbor, reportedly told the FT. (A subscription is required to read the article.)
Overselling of emerging-market hard currency sovereign bonds in recent weeks has led to spreads widening to about 50 basis points over U.S. Treasuries, making them a bargain for investors with experience of emerging-market crises, the FT writes. The piece gives examples of countries and industries worth considering, including Taiwanese electronics firms and even Turkish banks, whose bonds have taken a hit because of a selloff in that country.

Vermicomposting benefits
Pet worms? Well, not exactly.
But those whose plants have benefitted from the rich vermicompost that worms produce are usually enthusiastic about having a plastic bin of these wiggly red creatures in their home. Vermicompost is a humus-like material that contains large numbers of worm castings produced when organic materials pass through a worm's gut.
"It's an alternative to conventional backyard composting," said Henrico Extension Agent Karen Carter. "And it's generally a faster process."
Conventional composting depends on micro-organisms to break down organic wastes. Vermicomposting uses worms for most of that work. The worms are housed in a plastic "worm bin." Carter periodically gives "make and take" workshops for people interested in trying the process.
"None are scheduled right now," said Carter, "but if you're interested, call the Extension Office, and we'll put your name on a waiting list."
To make a worm bin, drill air holes around the top of a 14-gallon plastic container, roughly 24 x 16 x 12.5 inches. Add roughly 4 pounds of shredded newspaper, a gallon of water, and 2 quarts each of coffee grounds and purchased bagged compost.
"We recommend the bagged compost," said Carter. "With backyard compost, you run the risk of bringing in insects."
Last, and most important, add a pound of worms.
"Be sure you get the right worms," said Carter. "That's critical because not just any earthworm will work. You need Eisenia fetida, the red wiggler worm."
The worms are commercially available on line, or you may be able to get them from someone who is already vermicomposting. Periodically, the bins have to be divided both as a method of harvesting the vermicompost and because the worms can easily double in number.
"Harvesting the compost can be the most challenging part," said Carter. "Some people use purchased systems rather than making their own because they can make separating the worms from the vermicompost a little easier."
Worms can eat most fruits and vegetables provided they are not too salty or too acidic. Meat, dairy products, and fatty or greasy foods shouldn't be given to the worms. Coffee grounds including the filters and tea bags also make excellent food.
"Make sure you don't overfeed the worms," cautioned Carter. Under optimum conditions, worms can process their body weight in food each day. Typically, however, they can't quite eat that much, and overfeeding can create odor problems.
Carter recommends anyone interested in starting a worm bin look online at the Virginia Extension publication, "Composting Your Organic Kitchen Wastes with Worms."
"It's excellent," she said. "But we recommend one slight change. Don't drill drainage holes in the bottom of the bin. Not having them doesn't turn out to be a problem, and sometimes having those holes in the bottom of your bin makes a mess."
Without the drainage holes, a worm bin can be kept in the kitchen or basement, anyplace where temperatures don't fall below freezing or go over 100 degrees Farenheit.
"Vermicomposting can be more convenient than backyard composting," said Carter. "Plus, it's an interesting process to watch, particularly if you have children and want to teach them about the natural world."
Agencies combine on new entry point to Chickahominy
Canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts soon will have a new access point to the Chickahominy River. VDOT, the James River Association and Henrico County Parks and Recreation are teaming up to establish a new site in Eastern Henrico.
The James River Association negotiated the deal with VDOT to procure official access to the area located just east of I-295 on North Airport Road in Sandston. The site includes a park-and-ride commuter lot bordering the Chickahominy River and has been an unofficial launch site used by paddlers for years. > Read more.

Microsoft no longer supports XP users, but a host of antivirus products tested by AV-Test can still defend you from viruses.

Don't cancel your virus scans because they're inconvenient. Reschedule them!

"Not just one of my favorite authors . . . not just one of my favorite storytellers . . . one of my favorite people." -- Tracy Hickman, The New York Times best-selling co-author of Dragons of the Hourglass Mage
Tragedy hangs over the forges of Mithral Hall like a black curtain, and Drizzt is hardly immune from its effects. And with drow massing in the deep caverns beneath the hall again, Drizzt leaves the sorrowful dwarves behind in a desperate attempt to prevent all-out war.
Matron Mother Baenre, the cruel mistress of the drow city of Menzoberranzan, couldn't be happier to see the renegade Drizzt return to the City of Spiders. Lolth, the Queen of the Demonweb Pits, still hungers for his blood, and Matron Mother Baenre is only too happy to finish what Drizzt's own mother couldn't.
And more than just a matron mother awaits Drizzt in the city of his unfortunate birth. An old enemy has found his way there, too, one who thirsts for revenge as greedily as any drow. When Drizzt returns to Menzoberranzan, he'll face off against nothing less than the entire city.
Starless Night brings the Legend of Drizzt back into the depths of the Underdark, to the City of Spiders, where it all began. The threats first hinted at in The Legacy explode into nonstop action that continues through Starless Night and into the next chapter of the Legend of Drizzt, Siege of Darkness.

What a great Día de los Niños/Día de los Libros here at the library! Acclaimed bilingual author Pat Mora, who has written books for children, teens and adults, founded Día to nurture bookjoy—delight in the magic of words and a passion for reading. On Saturday, April 24th, Fantasía Ballet Folklórico performed several traditional dances and students from El Sol School performed songs and a readers' theatre piece. All children who attended received a special prize and a book to keep. Next time you come to the Central Library, take a look at the posters created by El Sol students for Día. You can see them on display as you pass into the Children's Room.
Brian Brook and his wife Judy brought two llamas to the Eastwood Branch Library for a program last Friday afternoon. Paco and Paint-Your-Wagon, the magnificent beasties in question, were on their very best behavior, basking in both the warm sunshine as well as the admiration of an appreciative audience.
Llamas are members of the camel family and are domesticated pack animals native to South America. They have two-toed feet, and walk on leathery pads which give them superb traction in mountainous terrain. As you may have heard, llamas can spit. But normally this is intended for other llamas who provoke anger or a disturbance. Of course, the llamas visiting Eastwood were relatively at ease and quite calm, so "No Spitting" was the rule of the day.
Paco and Paint-Your-Wagon live with Brian and Judy along with about 25 other llamas on a farm in Three Rivers. Judy regularly combs their substantial coats. She uses the harvested fibers to make rugs, purses, and sweaters, selling these at craft shows throughout Southwest and Mid-Michigan.

Will former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's lead in Maryland turn into a win in Tuesday's GOP presidential primary?
Romney has a 17-point advantage over former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum in Maryland, according to a poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports on Wednesday. It showed Romney is supported by 45 percent of Maryland Republicans, Santorum by 28 percent, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich by 12 percent and Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, by 7 percent.
Even though in Maryland on Tuesday, it is expected to be an important day in the presidential race, when the "moderate middle of the Maryland GOP will be relevant," according to The Washington Post.
"There are more of us in this state than in others, I think, that are fiscally conservative and socially libertarian," state Sen. Allan H. Kittleman, a Howard County Republican who supports Romney, told the Post. "Many Republicans here are concerned about some of the stands that senator [Rick] Santorum has taken or been advocating for . . . focusing more on social issues than economic ones."
The Republican primary has become a race to the magic number of 1,144 delegates that would give a candidate the nomination. Romney has the lead with 558 delegates. Santorum is next with 273. Gingrich has 133 and Paul 50.
Maryland's delegates are allocated through a combination of a winner-take-all system and a proportion distribution. The primary is also closed, meaning only registered Republicans can vote.
Maryland election officials that turnout Tuesday would likely be low, as the number of Democrats outnumber Republicans by a 2 to 1 margin.
Wisconsin and the District of Columbia are also holding primary contests this week.
In recent days, Santorum has been campaigning on his appeal to working class voters. He went bowling in Chilton, WI, on Sunday.
"I feel a common denominator with him," Carrie Pritchard, 40, a homemaker, told The New York Times. "If anybody can come to a bowling alley and hang out with everyone, I like that a lot."
Santorum has not visited Maryland, but the state has attracted attention from other presidential candidates.
Romney stopped in , and Paul has visited the University of Maryland.
Gingrich and at Salisbury University last month.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — A much-anticipated sentencing following the conviction of Tonawanda Coke and its environmental manager, originally scheduled Monday, has been put off until September.
U.S. District Judge William Skretny moved the hearing to 2 p.m. Sept. 30. Tonawanda Coke faces fines that could total $200 million after being found criminally responsible for violating the Clean Air Act.
A jury found Kamholz and the River Road facility guilty in March of violating two federal environmental laws, the Clean Air Act and the Resource Recovery and Conservation Act, after a 30-day trial. Kamholz faces the possibility of 75 years in prison.
The deadline for submitting victim impact statements has also been moved as a result of the delay. Residents now have until Aug. 1 to submit the statements to the United States Attorney's Office.
Those who wish to submit statements about how Tonawanda Coke has impacted their health or standard of living are instructed to describe any impact the crimes had on them and any thoughts about what sentence should be imposed. Residents are advised that the defendants may see the statements.
The statements and any questions can be sent to: United States Attorney's Office, Attn: Sharon Knope, 138 Delaware Ave., Buffalo, N.Y., 14202 or by email to email@example.com. Residents with questions about their submissions can call Knope at 843-5828.

Diner Reviews
I met with friends for a delicious
lunch at the bistro. We ate out on the patio, which was very pleasant. I had the Turkey Cranberry sandwich with a "petite" house salad. The salad was amazing and abundant. The sandwich had lots of flavor, and I was able to take half of it home. Great experience."
Dined on 7/12/2014
Halibut was over cooked, they
replaced it with perfectly cooked lamb chops. Ordered my rib eye medium rare it came out well done. Very nice staff and took care of the issues. I would return and give them a second chance."
Dined on 7/11/2014
A nice place for Sunday brunch.
It's relaxing, and has a nice varied menu. Love the Eggs Benedict, the Breakfast Burrito, and the perfectly salted breakfast potatoes. Burgers and salads are also good."
Dined on 6/22/2014
Everyone we had contact with from
the Hostess to the Serving Staff went out of their way to make sure we felt welcome. They all made sure we had what we wanted and every thing was served in a timely manner."
Dined on 6/15/2014
The food is excellent, service was
good. I will definitely be back."

very happy with the food and the
experience. Service was good. We will return."

My best friend and I caught up
over dinner at Wild Grape as she lives in Colorado and I now live in SLC. It was the perfect atmosphere for our girls night out. The service was great, and so were the drinks he made us as our waiter was also the bartender. Had a great meal and will definitely be returning!"
Dined on 5/7/2014
The waitstaff was friendly and
extremely professional. The food was very good. The menu was over-priced for the food."
Dined on 5/4/2014
A great place to treat somebody to
a wonderful meal. The service is first class and the food is wonderful. There are many options available on the menu and everything I've tried has been full of flavor and fresh."
Dined on 4/29/2014
I don't generally do lunch at the
Wild Grape. I was a bit disappointed with the food. It was not up to par with the dinner offerings. It was adequate though. It was very warm in the restaurant and I came home smelling like I had been sitting in a barbeque smoker. Better ventilation would be an asset. The service was ok."
Dined on 4/16/2014
We've been to the Wild Grape
Bistro several times and it never fails to be excellent."
Dined on 4/12/2014
We brought guest from out of town
here based on a previous recommendation. Not only were we disappointed but we were embarrassed to have picked this restuarant to bring our guests too. The service was terrible. Our waiter took a very long time to even come to our table despite an almost empty restaurant. He then rarely checked on us. It was almost an hour from the time we sat down before we got our main course. But because he never checked on us, we couldn't tell him all four of our meals had mistakes. None of the burgers had the cheese as described on the menu and all four were cooked the same although they were ordered to be cooked differently. They were all dry without flavor."
Dined on 4/5/2014
Our son lives in SLC and this is
the second time we went to Wild Grapes. The last time was for lunch. Dinner was just as delicious and the service was great!"
Dined on 3/29/2014
A friend recommended this place
several months ago. The service was dismal...our server had a very disengaged approach and seemed less and less interested to help us as the night went on. The food was just ok...not much flavor and really lacking in the presentation. My husband's steak was fatty and of overall poor quality. The bread pudding was more like a dense paste...so terrible that we sent it back. The best part were the drinks but way over priced for the restaurant. Our bill was 90.00 and I don't understand how that's possible with the subpar food we ordered. When I shared this experience with my friend, he said he had the same results and of late and stopped going. This please needs done help...I will never go again!"
Dined on 3/21/2014
Always a great place to go for an
excellent meal in a very nice, relaxed environment."
Dined on 3/1/2014
Food was well-presented and
excellently prepared! Portion size was perfect - neither stingy nor over the top. Wine by the glass menu could use a little more variety but overall, not bad at all. Well worth the price for a wonderful meal."
Dined on 2/20/2014
We were searching for a special
place for a nice romantic dinner with an excellent menu. Wild Grape exceeded our expectations on every level. We enjoyed their Sunday Prime Rib special which was outstanding. We look forward to returning and enjoying other items on the menu. The special Lemon Drop cocktail with rosemary was a very special treat. The house red wine was very nice. Terrific selection of beer. The service was fast, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Thank you, Wild Grape, for a very memorable evening."
Dined on 2/16/2014
The restaurant was a little more
crowded than I expected and that led to some higher volume background noise. However, the food and incredible service more than made up for it! Best Valentine's dinner I have ever had!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
The halibut was very tasty. Our
waitress was attentive on a very busy Valentine's Day. However our order was lost and we patiently waited an hour for our food."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Slow service, unseasoned food that
sat under the heat lamps for too long"
Dined on 2/14/2014
Their bloody mary's are my
favorite! I recommend the House Infused Habanero Vodka, but it can be inconsistently hot, so times very spicy, and some times barely bearable. Still my favorite brunch place, and I'm in there almost weekly."
Dined on 2/2/2014
Great Sunday brunch. Good food and
relaxed atmosphere."
Dined on 1/26/2014
I was in SLC on a business trip
and wanted bison, working on the presumption that I was in the "west" and that bison would be local. It was more difficult than I thought to find a place serving bison, particularly a place that seemed local. I found Wild Grape via OpenTable reviews and was delighted that it lived up to the great reviews posted. Food was delicious, service was excellent, and the overall quality was amazing (including locally sourced and organic foods). Such a treasure! A great way to finish a fabulous trip."
Dined on 1/24/2014
We had a wonderful dinner!
Delicious gnocchi and a lemon drop martini that was to die for."
Dined on 1/19/2014
While the service was great, the
appetizers were very good, the entrees left a lot to be desired. I had the Halibut, which was just about inedible. The level of oil, grease, butter combined with the potato cake on the bottom soaking it all up was very unappealing. Plus at a price of $24.00, there was nothing green on the plate to cut the grease. Very disappointing. The Salmon with barbecue sauce was overdone and had no color. The creme brulee, was the worst. It was so heavy with an over abundance of butter. For a dinner costing $200.00 plus, we will not be returning to Wild Grape. We have had wonderful meals in the past but this was a big disappointment especially with trying to show a client a nice evening."
Dined on 1/17/2014
One of our favorite spots. Brunch,
lunch and dinner are all wonderful. My husband lives the beef rib."
Dined on 1/11/2014
....and we have no idea why! The
menu is varied and the selections have always been delicious. Service is also a high point at the Wild Grape. Wine and beverage selections are appealing and reasonably priced. We'll make a point of coming here more frequently."
Dined on 1/10/2014
Awesome food with great Flavors!
Will visit more often."
Dined on 1/10/2014
I used to live in Salt Lake and
work not from the Wild Grape (in fact, I remember when it opened). From then to now, the Wild Grape Bistro has prepared delicious food in a lovely ambience. I moved away 3 years ago, but met some friends at Wild Grape for dinner last week and was delighted once again. My burger was phenomenal. My friends had the pork chop ... and something else. I don't recall--but we were all satisfied. The only snafu was the dessert they ordered and split. It was the s'mores mousse, and both of them felt like it was stale and not delicious (but I never ate any ... so I can't complain, I suppose)."
Dined on 1/9/2014
I specifically asked (in my
reservation on-line) for a booth by the window as it was my husbands birthday. We got sat right next to the kitchen right where servers come in and out not even next to a window. The server was not very attentive. By the time she came to check on us after the food-runner brought it out, we were already done. My husband ordered the Bison burger med-well and it came out med-rare. We waited to tell the waitress but it took too long so he only ate about 1/2 of it."
Dined on 12/31/2013
Went here for New Year's Eve
dinner and it was spectacular. Our server was polite and helpful and the food made my taste buds dance. I still dream about the tasty dish I had. It was hard for me not to steal several bites from my boyfriend's plate and I was definitely eyeballing my neighbor's dish as well."
Dined on 12/31/2013
My wife and I booked a table at
Wild Grape for lunch on my last day of work. The service was outstanding! The food was exceptional. We were at the table for over an hour and a half and our waiter was always attentive without hovering."
Dined on 12/31/2013
A much better experience than our
last meal here which was a dinner. The food was fresh and well made."
Dined on 12/29/2013
We love Wild Grape. We went for
lunch and were delighted we could still order some breakfast items. The service is great. Attentive but not in your way and interrupting."
Dined on 12/24/2013
We chose this restaurant due to
its proximity to the location of a concert we would attend later in the evening. The food was exquisite, service was pleasant, and the atmosphere delightful."
Dined on 12/12/2013
The Wild Grape is a hidden gem.
Not many know of this place, but once you find it you come back again and again. Never had anything food that was not superb! We love this place! Only bad thing...it's about a 30 minute drive away."
Dined on 11/29/2013
We had the steak, pesto chicken
pasta, mushroom and squash soups, and The grape salad. He salad and mushroom soup were delicious. The other dishes were not."
Dined on 11/23/2013
We had come for brunch before and
enjoyed it so was excited to check it out for dinner. The service was really slow--took almost 20 minutes before we got our drinks, but once we told the waiter we were in a bit of a hurry, the service did speed up. We ordered a flatbread appetizer. The dough was very yeasty and not good at all. However the toppings of the flatbread, grape jelly and cheese, did mask it somewhat. I ordered the gnocchi which was good, but they put a lot of sugar snap peas in there which I really didn't care for. The other couple in our party ordered burgers which they loved. Not sure if I'll come back for dinner--maybe it's just a better place for brunch."
Dined on 11/22/2013
Went for brunch and was impressed.
The food was phenomenal and the cocktails (although more expensive than a lot of places) were outstanding. I recommend the prickly pear mojito and Bloody Mary with habanero infused vodka. The service was a little slow, but accurate and polite. We accidentally showed up an hour early, but they sat us as soon as possible. All in all I would go back soon and rate them 5/5"
Dined on 11/10/2013
We had high expectations for the
restaurant and food based on the reputation of the owners and the menu listing on their webpage. Unfortunately, the restaurant did not live unto expectations. The food was non-exceptional, and while we anticipated an excellent offering, it was not to be had - our food was average, at best and non-memorable. We opted for soup instead of salad and found the soup to more of a puree than chunky soup, which is what potato/bacon soup usually is, and relatively tasteless. Our server was attentive to the point we receive our entrée, but unseen until the check arrived. this may be a great place for lunch, no ambiance and quite stark and pedestrian decor and surroundings. We will not diner here in the future."

KUs Hinson, Manning could be on the move
Eagle news services
Is Kansas on verge of losing half of its coaching staff?
Director of basketball operations Barry Hinson is expected to be named Southern Illinois' coach, perhaps as early as today, according to a source close to the program.
Also, assistant coach Danny Manning could be the favorite for the Tulsa job, according to the source. Signs pointed to a decision soon when Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton, considered a favorite for the job, informed Tulsa that he was pulling his name from consideration.
Hinson would return to the head coaching ranks for the first time he was fired from Missouri State after the 2008 season.
Hinson was 169-117 at Missouri State and went to three NITs. He previously had coached at Oral Roberts.
Former Illinois coach Bruce Weber was believed to be the leader at SIU, which is looking to replace Chris Lowery. The Salukis finished 8-23 this season.
Manning, the hero of Kansas' 1988 national championship team, joined KU's staff after a 15-year NBA career. He was a part-time coach until 2007 when he was elevated to full time assistant.
Taylor keeps shooting Its true that Tyshawn Taylor hasnt made a three-pointer in a dome. In six NCAA games in bloated arenas, hes zero for 16. But he hasnt been good in any arena in NCAA Tournament games.
Taylor is 3 of 37 in the tournament (8.1 percent), which is bizarre. Hes a career 37.2 percent three-point shooter who is having his best season at 38.5 percent from behind the arc.
And that season total was much better a couple of weeks ago before Taylor started his current zero-for-20 streak.
On Saturday, Taylor is going against one of the nations top defensive points guards in Ohio States Aaron Craft. That has Taylors attention, but it wont change his approach.
Hes a great player, and Im excited to play against him, Taylor said. Hes going to make offensive looks hard.
But Im worried about not shooting the ball well. I mean, Ive played against pretty bad defenders in the tournament and havent shot the ball well. I just have to continue to be aggressive, and thats not going to change no matter who I play against.
Self said Martin dropped hint Kansas coach Bill Self said Kansas State coach Frank Martin dropped a hint that he might not be long for Manhattan. Martin was introduced as South Carolinas coach on Tuesday.
I spoke to him last week after the (Big 12) tournament telling him congratulations on another great year, Self said. He told me this could be a possibility. I dont know what the situation is down there, but I think he left a good situation so he must feel this is a really good situation for him personally.
Our league will miss him. He did nothing but good things for our basketball league.
Bonus, babies Self has locked in $150,000 in bonuses this month $50,000 for winning the Big 12 and $100,000 for making the Final Four. Two wins this weekend would bring in another $200,000 for the KU coach. This on top of his $2.5 million annual salary.
And hes the lowest-paid coach at the Final Four.
Ohio States Thad Matta makes $2.735 million, Louisvilles Rick Pitino gets $3 million and Kentuckys John Calipari is paid 3.8 million annually and gets a $1 million retention bump starting next season.
The potential of $350,000 in incentives for Self pales in comparison though to what could await Calipari.
Already, Calipari has cashed in for winning the Southeastern Conference regular-season titles, worth $50,000 each. He earned $100,000 each for making the regional semifinals and finals, and $150,000 for beating Baylor and taking the Wildcats back to the Final Four.
Winning the basketball-mad schools eighth NCAA tournament title would net another $350,000.
Its a heavyweight group, no question about that, Self said.

For The Daily Item
SHAMOKIN DAM — Like a tall, cool glass of moonshine, Nate Myers' music packs a powerful wallop that leaves your heart racing, your head spinning and a longing for more. Much more.
With his towering frame, basement deep voice and inked skin, Myers cuts a daunting figure that is only further amped up when he grabs a mic and lets forth a fiercely intense stream of energized vocals offset by the blistering hot wail of his trusty harmonica.
Tonight, the searing sounds of Nate Myers will echo off the hills above Shamokin Dam when the area native and Harrisburg-based music maker and front man for the band Nate Myers and the Aces, spices things up at Skeeter's BBQ with a newer hybrid of music from the Nate Myers Trio.
"We're using this trio to help us grow. This type of show requires a different approach from the electric band. It has some limitations that we're learning to adapt too and it also has some freedoms that we're exploring," said Myers as he was getting ready for one of his dozen plus gigs this month. "We're playing some of our music, writing new music for this format and playing cover songs that mean a lot to us. We hope that the trio shows our love for all roots music and good song writing, be it our material or the work of other artists we love and respect."
Helping create this new sound — a mix of rockabilly, country, blues, originals and covers — will be Pete Netznik on acoustic guitar and bass along with expert drummer Dan Jones, each drawing from a wide array of musical styles and adapting them in their own strong way that represents their talents and skills.
"Music has been a great source of stability in my life, after my family and faith it's been a constant over the years that I lean on," he said. "Music has also been a great source of joy and, at times, a great source of frustration. I've learned a lot and hope to learn a lot more as the years go by. In a nutshell, it's made me a better person and helped me develop some quality relationships."
Myers, a regular performer at Skeeter's noted the venue always offers a good time and a lively crowd that appreciates an eclectic mix of music and musical styles from old school rock, blues, rockabilly and some old-time rock tunes from a long ago era.
"I'm fascinated with the past, music, old cars, motorcycles and artifacts. I'm a yard sale and flea market junky," Myers said. "I love the stories that go along with the artifacts and I never get rid of anything. I'm a bit of a hoarder but I come by it honestly!"
