this is why Lake Garda attracts so many people from all over the world.
Lake Garda is the largest of Italian lakes. Already well-known for its beauty at the old Roman times, Lake Garda displays a succession of castles, villas, small ports and typical pastel-colored villages, only interrupted by olive groves, cypress trees and sheer rocky cliffs.
The mitigating influence of its waters and the mountain ranges protecting the area from all sides make possible that typical Mediterranean plants like cypress, olive and lemon tress thrive undisturbed all around Garda shores. Summers are never too hot nor are winters too cold on the lake.
Tourists can choose ...
... from a variety of themed visits, such as gourmet tours, the wine road, castle, churches or museum tours, etc.
The area offers plenty of fun and action packed activities to suit everybody´s taste: amusement parks, safaris, water parks and, why not, natural and thermal parks, too. Gardaland, just to mention one, is Italy´s biggest amusement park.
Lake Garda is also a paradise for sport lovers at all stages. From the more "relaxing" sports like swimming, golf and tennis, to action-related ones like windsurf, horse-riding, hiking and mountain-biking, just to end up with definitely more extreme activities like free-climbing and paragliding. International climbing competion Rock Master is held every year in Arco.

There's nothing much better than waking up or coming in from the cold to a fresh cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter's day. By "fresh", I'm talking about using only real ingredients: cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, maybe a dash of salt and milk. That's it: pure, honest and clean – and far fewer and much easier to pronounce ingredients than those found in a container or packet of instant hot chocolate powder that's intended to be mixed with hot water.
The only drawback to making fresh hot chocolate is taking the time to warm up milk on the stove without burning it to the bottom of a cooking pot. So, how 'bout we get rid of the pot and stove and just make the hot chocolate with the same fresh ingredients right in a mug using the microwave oven to warm it exactly the way we like it? Easy!
You'll see in the recipe below that I use 2 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of sugar, which makes for a flavorful but not very sweet hot chocolate. I recommend starting with that ratio of cocoa powder to sugar and then adding sugar to suit your taste after you give the hot chocolate its first blast of warmth as mentioned in step 5. Again: all very easy - and even easier with step-by-step picture book directions you can get by clicking this link.
Preparation Time: 1-2 minutes
Cooking Time: 1-2 minutes
Needed (to make about 12 ounces)
- 2 Teaspoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Dash Salt (optional, but enriches chocolate flavor)
- Milk
- Whipped Cream (optional - but great!)
- Large Microwave Safe Mug
- Teaspoon
- Tablespoon
1. Add to a large microwave safe mug 2 teaspoons cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon sugar, a dash of salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and just enough milk to moisten the dry ingredients.
2. Stir the ingredients until they are well mixed together into a thin liquid paste. You don't have to try to get rid of every lump. Any cocoa powder lump in the milk will dissolve easily when the hot chocolate is warmed.
3. Add milk and stir until the mug is mostly filled.
4. Put the mug in the middle of the microwave oven and cook using your microwave oven's HIGH heat or 100% power for 1 minute.
5. After cooking, carefully remove the mug from the microwave oven by taking hold of the mug handle and check the hot chocolate both for warmth and flavor. If the hot chocolate is not as warm as you'd like it (it probably won't be very warm after only one minute of cooking), keep cooking at 30 second intervals until the hot chocolate is warmed to your desired temperature. At the same time, if the hot chocolate is not as sweet as you'd like it, add sugar to taste.
6. Give the cooked hot chocolate a quick stir and either have it as is or with a good shot of whipped cream (Yah!).

CITY LAKES PROVIDE HAVEN FOR BIRDS AND BIRDERS - According to species counts reported by the website eBird.org, Urban Tucson draws even more bird species than some of Southern Arizona's most popular birding destinations, such as Madera Canyon. The website, which is run by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society, says 345 species have been reported at about 41 hot spots in the Tucson metro area. That compares with 265 species at 15 hot spots in Madera Canyon, and 295 species at nine hot spots along the Upper San Pedro River. Birding spots in Tucson include the lakes at Reid, Kennedy, Columbus and Lakeside Parks. Story in today's Star.

For the Times West Virginian
The general consensus as West Virginia heads into a new season is that it had best prepare itself to learn to live a life without Geno Smith, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey, which common knowledge would tell you would be a life without the luxury of outrageous offensive figures.
Neither coach Dana Holgorsen nor his offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson necessarily deny that such an event could occur, considering the uncertainty at the quarterback position, but they also caution anyone who will listen that they always have found a way to manufacture an offense.
Knowing they're armed with capable receivers and knee deep in experienced backs headed maybe in both areas by Houston transfer Charles Sims, there has been no one looking for pity on the offensive side of the ball.
"We're going to do whatever it takes to win the game," Dawson said. "If that means winning 31-28 or 14-7 we're going to do that."
See Dawson understands the beauty of the Holgorsen offense, based upon a rather simple principle. They look for mismatches, then attack them, trying to force mistakes.
They do it in three different ways: By playing uptempo; through changing formations; and by using personnel groupings that are capable of attacking an opponent's weakest area.
"We're trying to figure out the weaknesses of the defense," Dawson said. "If they're playing down, we're going to take a shot."
Most of the time they will do it while paying fast.
"We're never going to get away from the background we have of playing fast at times," Dawson said. "We will mix tempos up a bit more. When you play fast all the time, that's pretty predictable too. The beauty of what we do here is we're going to fastball and when we're not going to fastball."
Dawson says that most everything WVU does is standard.
"There's one thing that fluctuates in our offense. The plays don't change but the emphasis on the plays does," he said. "It depends on the makeup of your team. You're going to get in formations that are best suited for your personnel, and that's what we're doing."
So, your strength is in the coverage of your safeties?
WVU will throw to its slot receivers up the middle, throw quick screens, anything to take the corners out of the game.
You don't have a lot of speed? WVU will run to the outside, using its fastest personnel to run and to receive out there.
Mismatches lead to mistakes.
This may best be seen with the way Holgorsen is using Cody Clay, a fullback/tight end type of player who doesn't seem to fit anything but goal line and short yardage situations in Holgorsen's offense.
Holgorsen, however, keeps expanding his duties because he sees him as a highly talented player who is very difficult to match up with.
"We started off doing just fullback stuff, then we moved to tight end stuff. Now, they have us doing a lot of tempo stuff, where we'll go from fullback, to tight end, to wide receiver in three plays," he said.
The idea is when you are going up tempo, the defense does not have time to substitute nor does it have a lot of time to figure out just what Clay is doing on a certain play … fullback, tight end, wide receiver.
It's almost a mad scramble.
Certainly WVU's depth at running changes a lot of things from last year with Sims, Andrew Buie, Dustin Garrison, Dreamius Smith, Wendell Smallwood and Clay all offering different assets. It would be a waste not to use them.
"It doesn't matter how you get them the ball,'' Dawson said. "The important thing is getting it to them any way you can.''
And that goes back to creatively setting up what you need to take advantage of mismatches.
"Obviously there's a difference between Dreamius running in between the tackles and Dustin. The body types are different and the skill sets are different,'' Dawson said. "But if you get Dustin in the open field he's pretty good. That's our job being smart on how to utilize people.
"Still, if Garrison is in the game, we can't do just this with him because it's not going to take long for those guys to know that he's either running this play or that play. They'll do it all.''
But on the plays that can make a difference, he will do the play he does best against what the defense has the most trouble defending.

When I was searching the shelves at the West Hollywood BevMo! I came across this next to the Rogue beers. "Oh great a Rogue beer that I haven't tried." or so I thought. I pretty much hate rye. I quite like Founder's Red Rye and Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye so I figured Rogue could make a proper rye beer - 'cept this one wasn't Rogue.
When I got home I saw the Bison logo on the top and about 2 seconds of looking at the bottle later - I realized this was no Rogue. Oh well - worst case scenario is that this isn't very good and some of the proceeds from me being it goes to a good cause. Not too bad - nor was the beer.
Like the 2 other rye beers that I mentioned, this one thankfully had a very subtle rye flavor. Almost not there at all. I got strong caramel malt and an Armarillo hop tone.
A good beer for a good cause.

I tried this the other night with a friend, but did not have my word notebook to take notes. These are taken from phone...
Pours a nice deep red color. Good two finger head with good retention and beautiful lacing all through out the glass until the last sip.
My friends said it smelled like some sort of cleaner or chemicals. I got that a tad bit, but I got more hints of red delicious apple with belgian candied sugars.
Taste was full of sweet malts, caramel, rye spiciness, could definitely taste the caraway seed. No bitter hops. Nice and malty.
Coated my mouth. Nice and smooth on the tongue. Not too much heat.
Overall this was a very delicious brew and was sad to take the last sip. I wish I could get my hands on more of this and thank my good friend Justin for sharing this with me and my good friend Jesse. If you get your hands on this, give it a try, I think it's a very interesting brew and worth trying.!

Poured from a 22oz bomber into a 22oz pilsner glass. Poured a reddish brown color with very little head and no lacing. On the nose, I got sweeter malt and nothing else. Taste was quite nice, however: caramel, sweeter malt, a touch of rye, and some spiciness with no hop bitterness at all in the finish. A very nice brew; wish I had another bottle or two.

What a random find @ Abe's Cold Beer in Bethlehem, PA. 2008 bottle randomly on the shelf, weird. Let's see how 3 years of age has treated this.
Pours to a beautiful transparent, coppery dark red color with a light but creamy head formation.
Aromas begin with inviting sweet caramel malts and a surprisingly nice mild dose of spicy hops. Spice may also be from the rye malts. Lots of caramel maltiness though. This reminds me of that AleSmith 2006 Decadence I had a couple months back
The tastes begin with chewy caramel maltiness. Next I get the the flaked rye, which adds a mild spiciness to the beer. I get just a hint of the caraway seeds, which creates the allusion of a slice of fresh rye bread. A slight fruitiness is present; a small peppery hop bitterness rounds out the finish.
Mouthfeel is medium to light bodied with a nice. Carbonation is slightly lower than I would like but it's not a major detractor.
Overall, this is a tasty red ale with an extra kick and a bit of added spice bite from the rye malts. I wish I had this 3 years ago when I bet the caraway and the hops were more predominant. A good beer but at this point it is past it's prime, not bad or spoiled, just was probably a higher quality flavor profile.

The beer pours a dark amber color with a thick frothy off-white head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is decent. It has a dry, roasted malt scent along with some caramel malt sweetness and a touch of rye spiciness. The taste is decent as well. It has a bitter hop bite up front with some dry caramel and roasted malt character thoughout. The rye provides adequate spice as well as the caraway. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a medium/full bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is a very drinkable ryew beer. It's malt forward with plenty of spiciness.

Nice dark rich color with a decent head, but on the minimal side. The carbonation is nearly unnoticeable in the taste. The smell is earthy with a strong sweetness that doesn't quite remind me of malt so must be the rye influence. The taste is excellent. It hits all parts of your tongue with a rich caramel oak flavor followedd with just a touch of bitterness. It's pretty rich all the way through the aftertaste. It's a really drinkable beer. Definitely happy I picked this up and hope to get future ones. Glad to know the money's going to a good place too.

whoa, for some reason, surprisingly good. Poured with a smallish very light tan head and some lace. Color is a clear dark amber. Aroma is malty, spicey, a little sweet floral fruit, don't pick up the caraway. Ditto flavor except much more caramel & toffee there. Great body and carbonation. Finish is like flavor. Really easy drinking beer. Session for sure.

.. 22 picked up Friday at Brewforia.. Shared with Brenda... Very little carbonation.. almost no head or cap... there is some CO2, but not alot.. the brew is a pretty deep amber.. very clear... pretty.
Bready.. caramel essence shows more than a caramel sweetness.. grassy hoppiness is pretty muted..
Flavor shows more rye than the nose.. toasty maltiness.. I get a little bit of caraway seed I guess, but I would have probably not identified it had I not been looking for it... nice and pretty dry mid palate through the finish.. the body is nice and medium... needs more carbonation.. this brew is seeming a bit dusty.. maybe too old.. Ehhh... glad I got to try it.

I'm not quite sure why this bottle was put back up for sale at local stores recently. It's still quite drinkable, though. The beer is a shade between burgundy and garnet with a small white cap that fades quickly, at this point anyway. There's a healthy dose of rye in the aroma. It's spicy and sweet, like a light rye bread. There are also some interesting raisin-brandy notes floating around in there, possibly from the age of the bottle. The flavor is still quite clean, though the hops seem washed out. It's like a light specialty malt barleywine. There are brown sugar, brandy and caraway seed mixing together. It's a tad thin and this feel shows off the age a bit, but the beer has aged quite well given that it's not really a prime candidate for such. At any rate, it's better than expected and rather nice for an evening nightcap.

I love this beer.
This beer has a reddish hue to it with a small thin but everlasting head of foam. Fine looking legs stick well to the sides of the glass. Very pretty looking beer. A malty aroma of carmel and chocolate with some dark fruit notes and spicy overtones as well. This beer smells great. Like the bottle tells us it is very malt forward. The spiciness from the rye is balanced just right with the rest of the beers fine ingredients. Very sweet on my lips but finishes dry with spicy but never bitter aftertaste. Full body. Sweet malt coats the inside of my mouth followed by the rye. The spiciness from the rye may be hiding the hop but i'm sure those fresh looking objects made it in there somehow to help balance out everything just right. And it's being made for a good cause. Nice job Bison.

Cool 22oz bottle served in a curved Dogfish Head label pint glass. Beer pours a dark, chestnut-red-tinted brown with a thin, dark tan head, which falls quickly.
Beer smells like an IPA with a hint of caramel. First sip is pleasant, crisp, and refreshing, with a bitterness that rises before it falls. Tastes coppery, more like a red ale in the middle than an IPA. I'm thinking Palisades or Northern Brewer hops.
Unlike many other American rye beers, it's not a super high gravity IPA. However, I do taste the rye. Not so much the caraway, though. Then again, I do kind of want a corned beef sandwich with muenster, so maybe it's working.

Clear amber body with a tan creamy small head. The head stayed for the entire beer. The smell is nice, spicy rye bread, biscuit malt, and I can actually smell a little caramel. The taste is top notch, there is an immediate rye spiciness, then a real creamy, almost lactose like sweetness, the sweetness stays on my tongue until the slight carbonation clears it all up with a quick spicy rye bite. I really like the mouthfeel, not too thick, low carbonation, but just enough to release the spicy rye. A very drinkable beer, it gets better as it warms up.

A: Poured noisy, large, viscous glugs from the bottle into my glass. Seems like trouble right off the bat. Light, reddish mahogany in color. Clear. Very minimal head reduced to nothingness.
S: Malt and light woodiness.
T&M: Sweet malt compounded by being undercarbonated, resulting in a cloying syrupy beer. Bottle indicates flavored with caraway, which was fully non-existent. Even the rye wasn't very strong. Virtually no hop character at all.
D: Just not a very good beer. Overly malty with nothing to counter balance the malt sweetness. Typically the rye and hop spiciness act to balance the beer, but not in this one. I drank it as a sipper, though I don't think beer was meant to be a sipper. Not so bad as to be a drain pour, but I won't be revisiting this one ever again. While I appreciate the cause behind the beer, I cannot appreciate the beer itself.

Social Security cost-of-living adjustments have ranged from zero percent in 2010 and 2011 to 14.3 percent in 1980. To maximize the dollar amount of your inflation adjustment, take steps to boost the amount of Social Security you will get. "Focus on when you start your Social Security benefits and maximizing that will help you deal with inflation," says Steve Vernon, a fellow of the Society of Actuaries and president of retirement consulting firm Rest-of-Life Communications in Oxnard, Calif. Payouts increase for each year you delay claiming between ages 62 and 70.
TIPS. Some types of government bonds promise a rate of return above inflation. The principal amount you invest in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities increases with inflation and decreases with deflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index. TIPS pay a fixed interest rate twice a year on the inflation-adjusted principal. Interest payments will rise each year as inflation occurs, but could fall when there is deflation. Interest income and growth in the principal value are exempt from state and local income taxes, but are subject to federal income tax.
Inflation-fighting investments. It's a good idea to allocate part of your portfolio to investments that have historically kept pace with inflation. "Have some exposure to commodities, stocks, and real estate, but don't go overboard," says Lyle Benson, a certified financial planner and founder of L. K. Benson and Company in Baltimore, Md. "You don't need to shift your entire portfolio into inflation-fighting investments."
[See How to Get Retiree Health Insurance Before 65.]
Pay off your mortgage. Paying off your mortgage eliminates one of your biggest monthly expenses and insulates you from rent hikes. "If you pay off a $2,500-a-month mortgage, you have saved yourself $30,000 a year in cash-flow needs," says Larry Rosenthal, a certified financial planner and president of Financial Planning Services in Manassas, Va. "In inflationary times, you should keep your monthly overhead as low as possible." If you need to, you may be able to tap the equity in your home using a loan or reverse mortgage. Some retirees also downsize to a smaller home or a more inexpensive area of the country to further cut costs.
Inflation-adjusted annuities. Some investors turn over a portion of their savings to an insurance company in exchange for a promise to receive a specific monthly payment for the rest of their lives, no matter how long they live. Some annuities offer the option of payments that are indexed for inflation. "Consider putting part of your money in an annuity, and then the other part you invest and draw down over time," says Vernon. "Annuities sometimes have a bad name because some annuities have high fees and poor performance. Look at the strength of the insurance company and shop among insurance companies to get the best price."
Work part time. Continuing to work part time in retirement allows you to be paid at current rates. "If you are working, inflation will probably drive up wages as well," says Benson. "Maybe you can save a little more as wages go up."
[See How to Save for Retirement on a Low Income.]
Reduce spending. When you reduce or eliminate some of your discretionary expenses, you will be better prepared when the prices for necessities rise. For example, to cope with rising gas prices, retired couples could downsize from two cars to one. Your savings on insurance and maintenance and the income from the sale could finance years' worth of higher gas prices. "Things that are going to definitely go up are consumer staple items, food, fuel, and energy," says Rosenthal. "Maybe you can cut back on eating out a little bit because you know your gas bill is going to go up."

Daily Star
---- —
Now that both kids are in school, all of the thankless work from the last eight years is starting to pay off. As a result, I don't see as many other people as I used to.
It's not that I've finally committed to being a full-time hermit, although this winter made me have a good long think about the benefits of never leaving my house.
Nor is it that I don't have friends.
At least, I'm pretty sure I have friends _ but I haven't seen them for a while. I'm assuming they still exist.
Instead, I've entered a stage of parenting where my kids seem to need me in a less immediate and physical way. Which isn't to say I'm not needed, just that the job description has changed.
From the time they were born until the time they hit kindergarten, both the Dude and the Diva's lives revolved around where their parents were at any given moment. Ideally, one of us would be within arm's reach of them to provide snacks or hugs the instant they were required, no matter if we were at home, in the big world or at a friend's house.
Even when they were being cared for by other lovely, responsible adults, my preschoolers' needs were never far from my mind. And this state of constant vigilance has a way of draining the life right out of you. The best way to refill that life, barring frequent trips to Aruba, is to spend time with other parents who are in that same stage of the game.
Because you forget, really, what those first few years of life are like once you get past them. Talking to someone with older kids is great because they give you hope for the future.
But only someone in the meat of the very young child ordeal can fully commiserate with how simultaneously boring and exciting the whole thing can be.
You wind up seeing each other a lot. Playdates at that age require a parent on hand. Besides, another adult in the house really brightens up your day when you've sung "Wheels on the Bus" for the 96th time.
But as the kids get older, your physical presence is required less. Now, I tend to only see other parents when dropping kids off or picking them up. Plus, my kids have their own complicated social lives that do not include me.
Nor, frankly, do I really want to be involved in them. My almost-9-year-old, her friends and I have markedly different interests.
For example, I simply want Justin Bieber to get his hair out of his eyes because it's dangerous to walk around when you can't see clearly.
It's also hard to see your grown-up friends when both you and they are always traveling and making up for all of the trips you didn't take because going too far with small kids is a pain in the rear. If nothing else, older kids can schlep their own junk.
We plan to take full advantage of this family trip sweet spot for as long as we can.
Once the Diva hits puberty, she'll simply resent being torn away from all of her friends who are far cooler than her family could ever hope to be. But, now, she relishes a chance to go someplace new, especially if there's a pool.
Ditto the Boy.
The truth is that I'm enjoying my kids a lot more now. Not that I didn't love them before. Not that I didn't want them around when they were younger.
It's just that those younger years are so much work, where you are constantly trying to stay on top of both quality nurturing and personal hygiene.
Now, however, the Boy and the Diva can fend for themselves for the most part. They can finally articulate what is going on in their inner worlds _ and those worlds are by equal parts fascinating and amusing.
Like, for example, the Boy's creative problem-solving when thunderstorms strike. Rather than cower in a grown-up's lap until the turbulent weather passes, which involved a fair number of tears and shrieks, he simply wraps his blanket around his head like a turban. On blustery nights, he falls asleep that way, like a king of some faraway land.
While part of me misses having that shivering child clinging to me, most of me is thrilled that he's learning how to take care of himself.
And, yes, part of me also misses hanging out with other parents for hours on end because it was such a welcome change of routine, most of me is thrilled that I can now spend the bulk of that time going places and doing things _ both with my kids and without _ that were insurmountably difficult just last year and well-nigh impossible two years ago.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Southmoore's road to the state tournament has been a long and arduous one for senior Kayla Tucker. As one of the few members of the SaberCats who has been with the team the last four years, she has seen the program at its lowest.
But as Tucker is on the verge of ending her high school career, she said the turbulent times prepared her to lead a young Sabercats squad to new heights.
"It means it was all worth it to go through those three years and everything that I've been through," Tucker said. "All the hard work we have put in, it just makes it worth it."
In the three previous seasons, the SaberCats racked up a combined 21-42 record under Mark Harmon and Derek Dorris. But she said the low point came during the middle of her junior season. Even though the team had an 11-12 record, she said the "turmoil" the team endured all but made it a lost year.
The Southmoore transformation started during the offseason when Britney Kannady-Sayes was hired as the team's new head coach. She was the third coach in four years for Tucker.
But Kannady-Sayes and her staff quickly raised the expectations of the team and helped squash any issues that were carried over from the previous seasons.
"It's definitely been hard the past three years, and all we've been through it," Tucker said. "But it's definitely worth it now having coach Sayes here and getting this chance and opportunity to win a state title my senior year. That makes it all worth it."
Even though she has known Tucker for less than a full year, Kannady-Sayes has marveled at the growth of her top player. From signing a National Letter of Intent to Alabama State to making it to state, she said Tucker deserves it all.
"She has been amazing all year," Kannady-Sayes said. "Everything she's had to go through has made her the strong player and person that she is. As a coach, I couldn't be more happy and it couldn't come to a better person and player than Kayla."
However, this has been far from a one-woman wrecking crew. The SaberCats have a balanced inside-out attack that is keyed upon the play of sophomores Kyeria Hannah and Serithia Hawkins. While both 6-foot-1 sophomores have cleaned up on the backboards, Hawkins has been particularly effective as a scoring threat. That included posting 22 points in Saturday's area tournament.
"She just keeps fighting," Kannady-Sayes said. "She is getting hammered every time. She is getting double- and triple-teamed. Just stay the course. She has done that and she's fought. She is a heck of a ball player as a sophomore."
Senior Kyra Gilbert and junior Cydni Campbell round out the starting five and have provided strong defense and timely shooting. Senior Bailey Olsen and freshman Jamia Sheppard come off the bench to provide Southmoore with a little depth and a change of pace.
"When the season started I knew we were going to be better than we have been in the past years," Campbell said. "The new coaching staff and new attitudes with each other, I imagined that we would do really good but I never imagined we would have a chance at getting a ring."
Southmoore will face Booker T. Washington in the quarterfinals of the 6A state tournament at 7 p.m. today at Skiatook High. It's the farthest any girls team has gone in the short history of the program. But they are not settling for just making it to the big dance.
"It's a Cinderella story," Tucker said. "Nobody expected us to be here. It was full of surprises. We surprised ourselves in how we progressed so quickly this year. But I never would have expected it the way things were going my freshman year. Especially after my sophomore and junior year, I wouldn't have expected us to be in this place."

Diner Reviews
Came for lunch with a friend. Had
to wait forever for a waiter and there weren't that many people in the restaurant. Does anyone realize that business lunches need to be done with prompt service? Had a bland salad, nothing to write home about. Expensive and not worth it."

My boss took me here for a
birthday lunch. I had never been to the NY location and we had such a nice experience here "
Dined on 6/5/2014
We had a great experience
celebrating two joint birthdays, party of 8 plus one toddler! We went on a Wednesday therefore it was fairly empty which definitely contributed to the added service which we loved. All of us agreed that steak was cooked a little more well then other steak places. We've been to Smith and Wollensky, Del Frescos, Peter Lugers, etc. Other than that, great location, ambience and staff! "
Dined on 5/28/2014
Very happily surprised at quality
of the food and service. Great to have a "local" steakhouse so close to home. Expensive but an excellent meal "
Dined on 5/22/2014
Went last week with a friend and
had a great time/meal. Our server Ryan has actually been there since the Angelo and Maxies days. We split the seafood platter and had the NY strip and the bone in ribeye. Both were excellent and cooked to perfection. Great NYC steakhouse experience."

Had a great lunch with coworkers
and looking forward to doing it again. This was a old tradition that was bought back and needless to say it was worth it. "

Romantic, eclectic setting. Well
designed ambiance combined with excellent food. Had the Petite filet for lunch it was excellent and perfectly done medium rare. The Tuna Tartar was a perfect appetizer done very tasty and it could be shared which we did. The house Cabernet was smooth and tasty. The wait staff friendly and knowledgeable. They answered my every question. "
Dined on 4/22/2014
I used to always hear people say
"you can tell a good steak by the fact that you don't need any sauce on it" and I never understood it until I went to Vic & Anthony's. The steak literally melted in my mouth. It was a thing of dreams! The ambience and the wait staff was truly professional and amazing. I HIGHLY recommend coming hear for ANY occasion!"
Dined on 4/12/2014
I thought it would be nice to
enjoy a nice steak for dinner.....the food here is very bland. If I were the chef I would be very disappointed. There was no taste in the apps and the steak came out cold. The server told us that it was the medium rare. NO, I'm sorry I have been to many 5 star restaurants and NEVER have had a steak come out cold. I will never go here again."
Dined on 4/11/2014
My family had attended this
restaurant a few times and the service and food had been excellent. My husband was very impressed with the oysters and the steak. We liked it when it was Angelo's, but now the ambience is much better; Angelo's was kind of noisy. We will definitively return and recommend to colleagues and friends."
Dined on 4/6/2014
Everything was good except the
steak. The service was good and the sides were good. I've cook better steaks at home."

We were celebrating my father's
85th birthday and had a wonderful time."
Dined on 3/15/2014
Ate here for dinner with a few
girlfriends to start off our weekend this past Friday. We wanted some great food and wine and this was the spot. We were all visiting from out of town but staying near Union Square so the fact that we could walk here was even better! While one got the Surf and Turf special, myself and another got the filet. It was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth. We both got the bernaise sauce in addition and that was heaven. As sides we chose asparagus and the au gratin potatoes, both were fab but the potatoes took the cake. They are super rich, so we could only have a couple bites but worth taking home. Overall, we couldn't have had a better time and experience! The follow up call the next day was the cherry on top"
Dined on 3/14/2014
Great quality of food, service,
and ambiance for client lunches, client dinners, or romantic dining."
Dined on 3/14/2014
Dear All, I "shop around" for
elegant, romantic, nice, laid back, reasonable dining experiences and this is another one I must say sets the bar. From the service walking in to the, being seated, to the waiters/waitresses, to the menus everything. Amazing place inside and out. If you're a wine drinker then the scenary is for you. I do not know much about wines but I am a fan to try and learn them when they come along. Vic & Anthony's helped bring that candle light back into my relationship. Not that the light went out but it dimmes and sometimes you needs to spice up the night. It was very romantic and I want to THANK everyone at V&A's for sharing in laughter with me and just putting smiles on our faces."
Dined on 3/13/2014
We went to Vic and Anthonys for a
special birthday and we left extremely happy. Everything we ordered was perfectly prepared and savory and our waiter was completely knowledgeable of the menu and couldnt have been any nicer. It was a "10" for us !"

My husband and I went there for
Resturant Week. The last time we where there was when it was Angelo amd Maxie's. We thought that the service was excellent. Our server was cordial and helpful. The food was very good and the calamari was as good as any that we have had. We definitely we be going back there."
Dined on 3/5/2014
went here for the first time for
the restaurant week lunch special. the food was absolutely amazing and the service was remarkable. i ordered the filet with haricot and it was absolutely amazing. both the wedge salad and the caesar salad were also very good. the restaurant was clean, and the ambiance was wonderful. i love the feel and lighting of the place, and the decor and presentation of everything from the first step through the double doors to the last bite of red velvet cake was fantastic! I can't wait to go back for dinner and drinks one night in the spring. this place was absolutely fabulous!"
Dined on 3/5/2014
My husband and I dined here on
Monday 3rd March and we had the most wonderful evening. From the bus boy to the sommelier to the manager and waiter, we were treated to the kind of service that is sadly lacking these days in most establishments. I ate from the restaurant week menu whilst my husband ordered the 10oz filet. Both were AMAZING, the kind of cut of beef you expect but do not always receive. In turn the potato au gratin was full of flavour , the potatoes cooked to perfection! All in all I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking to tick all the boxes. A most pleasant eve, we left full, content and in the best of humour."
Dined on 3/3/2014
Vic and Anthony's is priced in the
high range for a steakhouse, which I feel is something new for them. The food quality is almost there, but the service is not. This last visit, we weren't told that one of our entrees had run out until after the appetizer, which also took a bit longer than you'd expect raw oysters to take. Dirty plates and unused glasses were left on the table too long, making it hard for us to get to our food. I know of at least one other steakhouse in the area where you will get comparable food (or better) for a lower price, and better service. I probably won't be going back unless the prices get a bit more reasonable."
Dined on 2/28/2014
Waitress was friendly and
informative . Decor of restaurant and ambiance was impressive . The food was very very good. We shall return in the near future"

Took my wife and son there, it's a
very nice restaurant. The staff is very friendly the service was very fast. My wife and I had the filet mignon we didn't enjoy it very much. We have been to different restaurant and had better steaks. Everything else there was fine. It's a perfect restaurant for a first date."

Took my mother there after a
Broadway show, for her birthday. She was very impressed with the ambiance and the service was impaccable. However, she found the entree (pamegian crusted sirloin w/mushrooms and creamed spinach) to be a bit salty. She informed the staff, which was very apologetic. She definately enjoyed her dessert of red velvet cake. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience."

It appeared to be a slow night.
Hostesses were not very engaging...had to push them to get personality. Server was good but steak was worst expensive steak I've ever had. I've had much better at this restaurant before."
Dined on 2/10/2014
I was pleasantly surprised to find
this sleek cool seafood and steak restaurant a winner. Tables are nicely spaced and chairs are comfortable making this a pleasant dining experience. Food was quite good and reasonable compared to other similar restaurants. Staff was friendly and, despite it being a busy Friday night, very attentive. Wine is properly stored in temperature controlled glass closets and was excellent. The only drawback is that it tended to get noisy and the live music at the bar was not necessary and made hearing each other speaking difficult."
Dined on 2/7/2014
Steak was dry, even medium-rare;
caramelized onions were slightly burned"
Dined on 1/24/2014
The porterhouse for two was
amazing and cooked perfectly at medium rare. The sides were generous portions and a good thing the waiter warned us otherwise we would had too much food. The service was outstanding. The wine list was extensive and the sommelier was so knowledgeable and friendly. There was also live music which was a bonus singing oldies and Sinatra. The restaurant was just beautiful and the perfect setting for a special, romantic occasion. It was very intimate too because the tables are not on top of each other. All around, this was a great dining experience and I would definitely recommend this restaurant."

Very quiet this past weekend but

First time I had been at this

Buying Legitimacy: How A Group Of California Executives Built An Online College Empire
CLINTON, Iowa -- Inside the red brick campus of Ashford University, perched on a bluff above the Mississippi River, the door marked "President's Office" remains perpetually shut. Telephone calls to the university's head are swiftly transferred to a corporate office some 2,000 miles away, in San Diego.
A new, 500-seat football stadium adorns the campus, and is featured prominently in Ashford's promotional literature, though the university has no football team. Signs around campus proudly read "Founded 1918" and "90 Years Strong," despite the fact that Ashford -- one of the nation's fastest-growing for-profit colleges -- has existed for less than a decade.
The perplexing campus landscape here in Iowa amounts to an elaborate stage set for a lucrative, online education empire that uses these trappings to sell itself to students as a traditional college experience. That strategy was the brainchild of the corporation behind Ashford: Bridgepoint Education Inc., a publicly traded venture started by a group of former executives from the University of Phoenix, a name now synonymous with for-profit higher education and the controversial marketing practices that have brought the industry crosswise with federal regulators.
Six years ago, Bridgepoint purchased what was then called Franciscan University of the Prairies, a near-bankrupt, 300-student college that for decades had been run by a local order of Franciscan nuns. The school delivered a crucial commodity: legal accreditation. That enabled Ashford's students to tap federal financial aid dollars, the source of nearly 85 percent of the university's revenues -- more than $600 million in the last academic year. Ashford now counts nearly 76,000 students, 99 percent of whom take classes online.
Two years ago, Bridgepoint engineered an initial public stock offering that brought in $142 million.
WATCH a tour of Ashford's campus:
The story of how a California corporation managed to use a small campus in Iowa as the springboard for a national, online education venture underscores a key element that has enabled explosive growth in the for-profit college industry: Schools with dubious educational records have secured the imprimatur of legitimacy simply by owning an accredited institution.
Many accreditors do major reviews of colleges just once every 10 years. The next comprehensive evaluation for Ashford is not scheduled until 2014.
"It's an area where the old rules don't fit," said David Longanecker, a former assistant secretary of education in the Clinton administration who now serves as president of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, a consortium of colleges founded by Western states in the 1950s. "Accreditation hasn't quite caught up with the contemporary world."
Just as Wall Street managed to use simple things like home mortgages as raw material for complex and profitable investments, Bridgepoint has pulled off its own bit of alchemy here in Iowa: It has leveraged the purchase of of a failing but accredited campus into a badge of authenticity for its entire sprawling operation -- even as students have fared poorly, dropping out in large numbers and increasingly unable to pay back their federal debts.
The cachet of the traditional ground campus in Iowa, with its sports teams and historic buildings, has been a key marketing tool for Ashford, a feature that distinguishes it from other online rivals such as the University of Phoenix or Kaplan University, according to former and current employees.
The school's website boasts idyllic autumn scenes and photos of smiling students walking the Iowa campus. Just a few months back, Bridgepoint Education sponsored a major college football contest, the Holiday Bowl. Slick commercials for Ashford University were beamed out to a national television audience.
But for the thousands of new recruits who enroll online at Ashford each year, the friendly image of the Iowa campus ends soon after their applications are complete.
Behind the university's rapid growth is a pressure-cooker recruiting environment that treats prospective students like figures on a balance sheet, not people seeking opportunity through education, according to more than a half-dozen current and former employees ranging from management to entry-level recruiters interviewed by The Huffington Post in the past month.
All cited the central importance of a rigid performance matrix handed down by management -- one that rewards and punishes employees almost entirely on the basis of whether they are able to meet six-month recruitment targets.
WATCH Clinton, Iowa residents discuss Ashford's role in the community:
The goal, employees say, is getting "starts": students who fill out the paperwork for student loans and make it through at least four weeks of their first five-week course. That is the point at which the university is able to keep the student's federal aid money, regardless of whether they continue their studies. After that, according to the Ashford employees, any form of counseling drastically drops off.
"There were numerous times when I enrolled students and thought, 'All I've got to do is babysit them for four weeks,'" said a former leader in the admissions department, who spoke on the condition that he not be identified because he is still employed at another for-profit university. "I'd be thinking, 'Come on, this person is clearly not ready to go to school.' But I'd call you, pump you up, keep you confident for four weeks, and once I knew you completed, you were forgotten. It's easy when I'm counting the money."

Former Navy SEAL Team 6 member comes out as transgender womanHer military file has her listed as Christopher Todd Beck, a retired 46-year-old Navy SEAL who spent five years in Virginia Beach, earned a Bronze Star with valor and a Purple Heart and served in three different SEAL commands - including the exclusive SEAL Team 6.What it doesn't say is that Christopher now lives openly as Kristin Beck, a woman who never would have been allowed to serve had she been honest about her transgender identity.
In a memoir titled "Warrior Princess," released Saturday with little fanfare by a tiny publishing company, Beck describes two decades as a member of the Naval Special Warfare command, with seven combat deployments, including service in Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

The GOP Should Align With Gun Owners, Not the NRA
Republicans can start winning back women if they support common sense gun control policies opposed by the NRA.
The President's new push for gun control presents an opportunity for Republicans to start rebranding themselves and maybe even win back some of the women's vote. According to the latest polling by Pew Research, support for gun control is lower today than it was when President Obama first came into office. The number of Americans who said it was more important to control gun ownership than to protect gun rights has dropped from 58 percent in April 2008 to only 49 percent today. Meanwhile, those who would rather protect the rights of gun owners has grown from 37 percent in 2008 to 46 percent today. Even in the wake of Newtown, enacting gun control is not a slam dunk.
Americans' concern for the rights of gun owners coincides with a remarkable growth in the percentage of women who own guns. In 2011, Gallup reported that the number of women who said that there was a gun in their home hit a new high of 43 percent. The percentage of women who say they personally own a gun has almost doubled: In 2005, only 13 percent of women reported owning a gun; that's grown to 23 percent now.
[See a collection of political cartoons on gun control and gun rights.]
More Republicans than Democrats own guns, but that same 2011 Gallup survey found that the percentage of Democrats who self-reported gun ownership spiked to 40 percent, up from 30 percent just two years ago. There may be an opening for Republicans here because not every Democrat—nor every woman—necessarily supports the president's overreach on gun control.
Take the example of Laurie Adamo, a mother of two in Scarsdale, N.Y., who told the CBS affiliate there last year that she personally made the decision to buy a gun and get trained, rather than her husband. Here's how she explained the decision: "I know that we're OK and nothing will happen because I won't let it happen. I think your perspective changes a lot when you have a child and you see things happening in the world." That strikes me as a sentiment that most mothers share: nothing is going to happen to my child because I won't let it happen. I haven't seen any statistics on it, but I'd be willing to bet that many of the women who own guns are female heads of households.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Should There Be More Armed Guards in Schools?]
Polling last year of gun owners and National Rifle Association members by Frank Luntz found that unlike the NRA leadership, wide majorities of gun owners support enacting universal background checks, and 3 out of 4 want permits only for those who have completed gun safety courses. A majority also support giving "concealed carry" permits only to applicants who have not committed any violent misdemeanors, including assaults—a position I'm sure many women agree with, as well as denying permits to those who have prior arrests for domestic violence. Luntz found that the NRA rank and file supports barring people on terror watch lists from becoming gun owners—incredibly, a position the NRA national leadership strongly opposes as well. The GOP would be smart to align its positions with these grassroots gun owners, not the NRA lobbyists in Washington.
Last month, Pew found that while a plurality of Americans thinks gun ownership does more to protect people from becoming victims of crime than it does to put people at risk. But then there's this: A majority of women believe that assault weapons make our country more dangerous by a whopping 73 percent to 15 percent. While the NRA loudly opposes any sort of assault weapons ban, Republicans could show how out of step the NRA's leadership is with its own membership, with the majority of women in general, and with law enforcement leaders who are concerned about the police being outgunned on the streets.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Should Obama's Gun Control Proposals Be Enacted?]
The GOP should continue its strong support for gun ownership—especially as a way to empower women seeking to protect their children and themselves—but the party could have a Nixon-goes-to-China moment if it backed reasonable measures to keep assault weapons and armor-piercing bullets out of the hands of known criminals and the mentally ill. Both women and police support that.
Whether Republicans like it or not, the massacre at Newtown has changed the world. Sales of guns are surging across the country, and at the same time polls show a majority of Americans are concerned about assault weapons falling into the wrong hands. There's nothing about keeping assault weapons out of the hands of criminals that is incompatible with strong support of the Second Amendment.
Republicans are facing a choice between the national office of the NRA and the law-abiding citizens— many of them women—of this country. If you ask me, that's an easy call.

It's engraved on the Perry Hall High School ring and appears on Perry Hall's welcome signs, but few have actually set foot inside the Perry Hall Mansion.
For the second year in a row, the Historic Perry Hall Mansion organization will hold its holiday open house inside the mansion. Attendees are invited to not only tour the mansion, but also learn about its history, enjoy food and wine and watch Christmas-themed musical performances in the decorated ballroom.
"Our annual holiday reception is an important event for Historic Perry Hall Mansion. It allows us to increase awareness about this historic site, while also raising funds to support future improvements," according to administrative director Jeffrey Smith.
The "Deck the Halls" Annual Holiday Open Houseis planned between 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 15, inside the mansion at 3930 Perry Hall Rd.
Tickets are $25 each or $40 for a pair for members, and $30 each and $50 for a pair for non-members. Membership is $10 per household, $5 per single person, and $30 for an organization or business. Tickets are available by mail. See the PDF order form attached to this article for details.
Previously, county regulations prevented public use of the building, causing the 2010 holiday event to be held on the mansion's lawn. County officials, however, shifted their position and approved use of the mansion in time for the 2011 open house.
All proceeds from tickets to the open house will go toward mansion restoration and every aspect of the event, including decorations and food, will be donated by volunteers.
"Volunteers from the community, and their ideas and energy, help to make these receptions fun for everyone," Smith added.
Several volunteers are needed before and during the event. Contact events director Laura Kimball at email@example.com if you are interested in assisting with the following tasks.
Before the event:
- Clean and decorate the mansion on Friday, Dec. 7, between 10 a.m.–2 p.m., bring cleaning supplies, including mops, buckets, rags, gloves, vacuums, etc.
- Decorate and set up on Saturday, Dec 14, between 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
- Supply decorations (just for the event or donation)
- Donate magnolia, pine and holly clippings
During the event:
- Donate food items for the open house
- Provide musical performance during the event—so far, three performances are booked
- Provide a Santa suit and Santa Claus to meet with children around 6:30 p.m.
- Assist with the children's activity room and act as a room attendant
- Event greeters, ticket takers, gift shop attendant, parking attendants, food service helpers, etc., are needed
- Assist with fundraising raffle—donate items, procure items, sell tickets during the night's event
- Clean up after the event
- Other donations and volunteer services

Two railroad industries will locate facilities in the Lincolnway Industrial Rail and Air Park this spring pending final approval of state and local incentives, bringing 90 new jobs to the area.
RAIL.ONE, a German rail track supplier and Utah based Nevada Railroad Materials, Inc. (NRM) will work in conjunction to become the first rail served tenants in the park since the railport groundbreaking in 2010. They will join the park's only tenant, the 10-million gallon bio-diesel plant, Clinton County Bio-Energy .
RAIL.ONE will build a new manufacturing facility for the production of concrete rail ties in the Lincolnway Industrial Rail and Air Park.
"We had good reason for choosing Clinton as the location for our factory, which will be one of the most advanced production facilities for railroad ties in the world. Its good location and its outstanding infrastructure links were convincing for us," Jochen Riepl, CEO of RAIL.ONE GmbH said. "Likewise, the natural resources in this region offer us the best of opportunities for production of top-class products. These are crucial factors that led us to opt for Clinton over other competing regions and, in turn, to decide to create new jobs at this location."
The new factory will be RAIL.ONE's first plant in North America. The total economic impact of the RAIL.ONE project is estimated to be $20 million, with 62 direct jobs.
NRM will partner with RAIL.ONE, supplying railroad cars to the company and recycling old, wooden railroad ties. In business for 20 years, NRM is headquartered in Ogden, Utah, with additional locations in Arizona, Oregon and Nebraska.
NRM will bring 30 jobs to Clinton.
"The Clinton community can take pride in its steady commitment to create an environment that attracts new companies and supports the growth of existing business," Clinton Mayor Mark Vulich said. "The two new tenants for our railpark are a result of a vision that began over ten years ago. And thanks to the commitment of many dedicated individuals, we are now seeing the fruits of their labor.
Pending approval of local and state incentives later this month, these companies plan to move forward with their respective projects this spring. Also, Data Dimensions will construct a 26,000 square foot operations center in the Lyons Business and Technology Park pending approval of local and state incentives.
The processing plant will bring 130 jobs to Clinton, doubling Data Dimension current Clinton workforce.
The new facility will nearly double the size of Data Dimensions' current facility located at 2001 Manufacturing Court. It will also house a state-of-the-art Tier II data center will allow the company to service its tremendous growth anticipated over the next three years, according to Clinton officials.
Wisconsin based Data Dimensions first located a processing facility in Clinton in 1988. It doubled the size of its facility in 1999 and his since continued to bring jobs to the area.
"This pending expansion in Clinton comes during our celebration of 25 years of being privileged to be part of the Clinton community. Our Clinton production facility has been a key contributor to our growth and long-term success over the past 25 years. We are excited to make such a substantial investment in the community of Clinton."
The announcement that Data Dimensions would build the new facility came at the same time it was announced that two businesses, RAIL.ONE and Nevada Railroad Materials would locate in the Lincolnway Industrial Rail and Air Park at a press conference at city hall this morning.
