During an eye exam, an eye doctor reviews your medical history and completes a series of tests to determine the health of your eyes. The information from an eye exam may lead to medical procedures or prescriptions. Eye examinations should take place periodically as follows:
Before age 3
All children should have their eyes checked before age three. If there is family history of childhood vision problems, or if the child has a wandering, crossed, or other eye problem, his or her eyes should be checked earlier.
Before the age of 20
Every one to two years or as recommended
Between 20 to 40 years old
Every one to two years, unless you experience any problems such as visual changes, pain, flashes of light, new floaters, or tearing, or if you sustain an injury to the eye.
Between 40 to 64 years old
Have a baseline eye exam at age 40, unless you having symptoms or have a risk factor for eye disease. If you have symptoms or a risk factor, such as high blood pressure, diabetes or a family history of eye disease, consult your ophthalmologist or optometrist for how often you should be examined.
Over 65 years old
Every one to two years
African-Americans are at eight to nine times greater risk for glaucoma than whites.
People with diabetes are at risk for several eye disorders, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts, and should have eye examinations every year.

A modern opus for flutists with optional percussion part as well.
Katherine Hoover's latest opus for multiflutes is presented as a quartet, but is designed for any number of flutes. In fact, its first appearance was in Central Park (New York), and its first performance was at the 2011 NFA Convention, with all attendees invited to join in. An optional alto flute part was added, as well as a percussion line. Hoover even suggests that, "with the steady rhythm and light nature of this piece," the percussion part may be better performed by a tap dancer. For intermediate to advanced players.

The practice of female genital mutilation, imported into Britain along with masses of non-White invaders occupying large parts of that country, have driven the British Police to offer substantial financial rewards for informers whose information might lead to the first conviction for that practice.
The Metropolitan Police are offering a 20,000-pound (US$40,000) reward for information leading to Britain's first prosecution for female genital mutilation, Detective Chief Superintendent Alastair Jeffrey said. Police say they do not have comprehensive statistics about the number of victims. But midwife Comfort Momoh, who specializes in treating them at London hospitals and clinics and who works with police, told the news conference she treats 400-500 victims every year.
Arranging or carrying out the procedure -- in Britain or abroad -- is a criminal offense punishable by up to 14 years in prison, but no one has been prosecuted since it was banned under British law in 2003, Jeffrey said. The fact that non-Whites are involved in the practice means that the police are always scared of being called racist should they act against the perpetrators. Police estimate up to 66,000 non-White invader girls in Britain face the risk of genital mutilation.
Jeffrey said the timing of the campaign was so we can get in before the summer holidays, a time when young girls are taken abroad and subjected to genital mutilation," he told a news conference.
Between 100 million and 140 million women are believed to have been subjected to the practice in Africa and an additional 3 million girls face the threat of female genital mutilation every year, according to UNICEF.

Measure your foot with a ruler, using cm or inches; convert to Euro or US using this chart. If you need mondo sizing, please refer to the SCARPA chart on this page/tab. We recommend you purchase two sizes, the size you think you are plus one .5 size bigger for fit testing at home. As long as the products are in like new condition and the packaging is 100% intact, we will credit you for the returned product.
General fitting rules depend on the product's intended use... follow the appropriate guidelines below for best results.
Trail/mountain/approach/lifestyle products:
- The bigger/heavier/more supportive the product, the more you may want to upsize .5 - 1full size. Lighter, softer, more supple shoes can be sized closer to your measured size.
- Note: SCARPA Plastic mountain boots all use UK sizing; UK converts easily: 1 full size smaller than US men's size, 2 sizes smaller than US women's size.
- Try on with appropriate socks for your usage. The bigger the boot, the more appropriate a bigger sock (sounds crazy, huh?)
- If you use orthotics or already have aftermarket footbeds, measure against the standard footbed in boot. Fit into boot for sizing/fitting the boot.
- Best to try on at the end of the day when your feet are larger/swollen, than when your feet are fresh to ensure good fit after a long day.
- Lacing can play an incredibly important part of a good fit. Be sure to play with lacing when analyzing fit.
- Make sure your heel isn't slipping.
- Make sure your toes aren't hitting the end.
**Approach shoes may be sized smaller for performance purposes but beware... small shoes are really uncomfortable on the trail.
Rock climbing shoes
- From your measured size, you'll want to consider downsizing .5 - 2 full sizes. The flatter the shoe, the closer to your measured size; the more downturned/aggressive the shoe, the more you'll want to downsize.
- The best fit is comparative between sizes and only you will be able to judge that, though an experience climber could offer good insights to your fit.
- If it feels painful, it may break in... or it may not.
- Pain sucks as a rule of thumb though and makes climbing miserable.
- Only you can judge what's 'acceptable' discomfort.
- Good fitting rock shoes shouldn't necessarily be 'comfortable' by walking/running shoe standards.
- Look for looseness/bagginess in the toes and heel. Bagginess can mean 'slop' when climbing with feet perspiring, etc.
- Toes should completely fill the toebox.
- Heel should feel solid; like they won't pull off if heel hooking.
- Any foot movement in new shoes will mean sloppy fit when broken in.
Ski boots
- From your measured foot, convert to US size using the scale. Translate the US size to Mondo size using the SCARPA mondo scale (not 'true' mondo conversion)
- Shell fit: taking liner out of the shell and inserting foot, toes touching end of shell but completely flat.
- Should have 1.5 - 2 fingers of space behind heel and heel of shell (between 14mm - 20mm)
- Too little space = go up one shell
- Too much space = go down one shell
- If not sure... fit test BOTH shell sizes
- Put on a ski sock for gosh sake!
- Use and orthotic? Put it the boot (after taking out the standard footbed).
- Put foot in boot AND BUCKLE IT! You can not tell a boot fit without buckling it
- This will pull your heel back into the heel pocket, relieving cramped toe space
- Boots do pack out! A 'comfy' fit when new will mean slop later.
- Regardless, your toes should NOT be pressed against the end of the liner
- Get your Intuition liners molded! This provides THE BEST FIT available.
- Any minor pressure points or space will be eliminated by molding
- Find an experience SCARPA dealer for fitting/molding
- Boot fitting is an incredible service and generally requires a service fee of varying amounts... it's worth it though!
More good information fitting available here.

The Boostic is my shoe of choice for superb edging power and precision on the most technical of face climbs.

My go-to face climbing shoe, superb edging power but still sensitive.
Anonymous Oct 13, 2013
These shoes are face climbing masters. I size them down a half size from my street shoe and feel like I can stand on anything
Anonymous Sep 24, 2013
These are probably the best-fitting high-performance shoes I have ever worn. When I put them on, I can hear and feel the air whine its way out, almost as if they are sucking onto my feet. I have a pretty wide forefoot and narrow heel, and I think others with this foot shape will be similarly impressed. I've been using them for techy granite trad routes, sport climbing, and bouldering, and love how they can climb so aggressively and still be relatively comfortable. Not all-day comfy, but at least for a few hours. Seems like sturdy construction and quality materials, too. Highly recommended.
Anonymous May 6, 2013
Awesome! They fit like a glove, particularly the heel. It allows for a lot of power on the toes. And they look great! What else could you ask for?

Written while sick & neither drinking, smoking nor cavorting with hipsters. But written while writing, so hope prevails.
- If you ever want someone to talk to, let me know.
– My mother taught me not to talk to strangers.
– Can I still take you up on your offer to chat?
– I have a fare in Albany Park at 10:30, but can meet for a drink now.
– (Now?! A drink right now? Where?) Ok. Where? I mean, I don't go to many bars. You're the cab driver; aren't you supposed to know all the good bars?
– Do you know Ricochet's?
I know Ricochet's. The way you know that one seemingly abandoned house in an otherwise family-friendly neighborhood. The one that's not had a paint job or been mowed in anyone's memory, but emits a vibe that tells you it is inhabited. You know it because of everything you don't know about it.
There is a stretch of Lincoln Ave. in Chicago that makes me keep paying too much rent. It is lined with trees, pedestrians and cultural hubs including a regional library, a park complete with art nouveau gazebo, a venerated music school and a movie theatre, with independent bookstores, coffee shops, vintage clothing, record and toy stores, superb restaurants, bars… And the European apothecary, delicatessen and bench-lined plaza helps it maintain an old world feel even as kitchy boutiques and chain operations begin to creep in. It is a lovely street for a lovely stroll, some lovely shopping and a lovely meal. It is all very lovely.
Except Ricochet's. This shady bar on a shady corner in the middle of it all has that vibe that will keep saying, "We don't want nobody nobody sent," long after political reformers make good on promises of transparency. While the door is always open, it's too dark to see what's going on in there, and the wafting scent of beer stale at 2pm makes you veer a bit closer to the curb as you walk past. There are always people there. You don't know what kind of people are drinking there at this hour, but they are not like you. While yuppies with toddlers meander and socialize up and down the sidewalk, people come and go from Ricochet's alone and with purpose, as if maybe picking up keys. Seems like the kind of place you go only if you know the bartender well enough he'd have your spare keys.
In the back of the small, narrow room, past the bar, the dart boards, the bathrooms and the side door is a little round table with a little lamp with a fringe lampshade. And two tall round barstools. The music is awesome: Stones, Bowie, Doors, Velvet Underground… "Stones or Beatles?" "Oh Stones, no brainer." Now I don't care that I am drinking boxed wine. I drink wine. Ricochet's does not serve wine from bottles. They only serve boxed wine. It is quiet in the back. The company is good. I drink the boxed wine and point laughingly to an aged frat boy in a baseball cap dancing blissfully near the bathrooms. "The thing is, he probably has more education than I do." "We can laugh at him, but he's probably happier than we are too." We are not happy people, we agree, grinning and laughing and having a great time.
I'd have never come here with friends. I've lived in this neighborhood for 11 years and have never come here with friends. Even my unhappy dive bar aficionado drinking companion is giggling with shame. "Next time I'll take you some place a little more classy, ok?"
- Weird night. Wanted to hear a friendly voice. How are you?
– Weird night myself. It's good to hear from you. I still owe you a drink.
– What does your week look like?
– I am boycotting the 4th of July.
– There is a place by me called the Skylark.
After one hour and one virgin el line excursion, I arrive in part of Chicago I've never set eyes on before. A concrete cancer seems to have decimated any living plant or animal for miles. Every building looks like an abandoned warehouse, even the ones that aren't. I walk across a rusty bridge over the river, or sanitary canal, I don't know, lined with what could be a proper junk yard if someone put some effort into it. No shade for miles. I am early. I find a bench to sit on around the corner from a gas station, but everything about it screams, "Do not sit here!" There's no one really walking down the sidewalk. I wonder if this is what F. Scott's Valley of Ashes looked like. Across the street is a sign, "Skylark." I look around for another. Maybe this is just the original, the sign is here for historical value, but where I am going is like down the street or something? Well, ok, it is classier than Ricochet's, but so are many middle school bathrooms. The nondescript building is on the west side, facing west, with no skyscrapers, lake breeze or population density to shield me from the blazing July evening sun. I head toward the bar feeling like I am about to be cast in an indie movie no one would remember why they placed in their Netflix queue. Maybe Steve Buscemi would be there.
Inside it is roomy, dark and empty; so dark you can see dust particles in the air in the sliver of light that appears when the door opens from time to time. I settle into a booth and decide to get some peirogi. Outside, Americans are in backyards and alleys eating hotdogs and producing amateur pyrotechnics displays in celebration of our glorious nation. Inside, we're getting tipsy and celebrating our own independence. "I just want to be able to go to bars and have drinks with pretty girls." "I just wanted to be Dorothy Parker when I grew up."
Late at night we sped home through the west side streets, hundreds of small fireworks displays in every direction, me half expecting Myrtle Wilson to run out in front of the cab, he warning me not to get involved with him.
- Why don't I show you the Rainbo before we go to the play?
– Ok.
I'd never heard of the Rainbo. Why should I have? I wasn't playing coy when I said I don't really go to bars. I drink at friends' houses, wine, from bottles. Maybe if there is a cookout, I'll bring supplies for Cape Cods. I don't cook. I also live, work and play near the lake. I came from rural Illinois and have a phobia about straying too far back into its bowels. Slippery slope. One day I'm in West Town, the next I could be in Peoria. And why would I ever need to go to Ukrainian Village? If I wanted to see Ukrainian villagers, I could go to, you know, Ukraine. Right?
I'd never heard of this Rainbo madness until I was handed a postcard advertising an upcoming art show there. After that I began to hear a lot about the Rainbo. Some people talk about their children. Some people talk about their bar. Of course I had to go. Based on the track record of my partner in dive bar crime, I had pretty low expectations of it being "a little more classy" than an outhouse. In fact, I secretly hoped it was in a condemned building, where serial killers and postal workers hung out, accessible only by the alley. With no bathrooms. And everything was served in Dixie cups. And everyone had to stand.
Rainbo is actually kinda lovely. If you get there early, you don't have to stand. There are nice red leather circular booths and a newly reupholstered red leather couch. You can get in through the front door, drinks are served in glassware, wine comes from a bottle (a bottle: only one choice of red), and while too dark to inspire confidence in the hygiene of others (not ruling this out as responsible for my current illness either), there are bathrooms.
I'm told hipsters congregate here. On one occasion, a group of hipster younglings from LA in the booth next to us offered to buy a round. What nice young hipsters. Such good manners. But mostly I am there too early to witness true hipster atrocities firsthand. Early in the evening, there is the man managing the bar and a few bartenders, maybe the owner and the owner's dog, a guy who runs a breakfast joint and Tim Kinsella slipping in and out of the back door. The other night there were some youthful fellows in the newspaper business discussing the recent floods. All very above board, IMO. No serial killers, postal workers, annoying hipsters. The only crime I've seen committed, be it against the law or our refined sensibilities, was when the cab driver stole the breakfast man's cigarettes.
The bar is dank yet classy, lined with art high upon the walls and in display cases, and featuring a small but elegant stage with black velvet curtains and an ornate ivory border. There is a mounted deer head. I grew up with a mounted deer head in the home; I'm neither disturbed nor impressed by some ironic deer head. A vodka & soda and a glass of wine will set you back $8. Together. It's a good place to be poor, beautiful and drinking. "I used to think, and maybe still do, that the relationship between Sartre and de Beauvoir was the ideal arrangement. Living apart and all that jazz." "And her affair with Nelson Algren." They say he used to take her here.
It is a good thing I'll drink that boxed wine. It is my only defense against accusations of pretension now that I've off and compared myself to Simone de Beauvoir.
So that's why hipsters go to dive bars.
Poor hipsters and their bad rap. I can think of far worse pastimes than adoring brilliant writers while drinking cheap booze in dive bars in Chicago.

- Server Kelly was GREAT!InfrequentDinersDined on 9/13/2014After an initial drive-by, we found an entrance to a back parking lot and were impressed with the glowing fire pit. Upon walking inside, we were a little surprised that the atmosphere did not seem to match what we had seen on their website ... had we known, we'd have dressed more casually. Overhearing a lengthy phone conversation from the hostess, we learned she was new ... and, although she eventually gave us the nod acknowledgement that she'd be with us, we found it curious why another staff member couldn't have stepped in (they were not at all busy)? Finally, our fabulous server appeared and seated us ... Kelly took great care from there! Other than a dirty knife and tough cut of steak, the food tasted good but KELLY made the night!!Special Features:
- A Little Too Quaint...TheWingedOneDined on 9/12/2014I had read the reviews online and hoped the food would make up for the ambiance. It didn't. There was water damage on the ceiling that had obviously been there a while, the lights flickered constantly, and I couldn't shake the feeling I was in someone's living room. The food was overpriced and was very similar to a spicy Olive Garden. The wait staff was terrific, but it didn't make up for the shortcomings. Simply put, I could have had a better experience at Olive Garden, and that's sad.
- Fast351sgrlDined on 9/10/2014As always - great food, great service. It was a bit slower than usual, but our waiter let us know they were extra busy yet short staffed, and we didn't mind. I just finished the left-over pasta for breakfast this morning, and what a treat that was!Special Features:
- good foodmndinerDined on 8/31/2014They were out of manicotti but I ordered lobster ravioli which was fine just a bit to rich flavor for my taste. Husband had lasagne which he liked. Would go back hopefully they have manicotti.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved it!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/31/2014Came here for our anniversary celebration. It was perfect. Our server was excellent. she was very attentive, gave reccomendations when asked and took good care of us! Our food was delicious. From the Spinach Dip appetizer to my pork medallion meal and my husbands steak, we enjoyed it all! We loved it and will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful time at Bunoa SeraOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/27/2014Rachel, Our server, made this an experience. She was fantastic, she was informed and seemed excited about us being there for the experience. The Artichoke Spinach dip was gorgeous, unexpected visually and so tasty to top it off, not the white on white slop with spinach mixed in you get everywhere else. The Tortellini was the best I've ever had, the pasta was perfect without being mushy and the sauce was so pleasant and complimented all the ingredients bringing the dish together rather than over powering it like many other "Italian" restaurants seem to do. I don't like fish but the pecan glazed salmon I may actually order as my main the next time I visit it was that good! We will for sure be going back.Special Features:
- simply amazing!kingetteDined on 8/23/2014We noticed servers only have 4 tables no doubt a plan they know the minute you need something but they dont hover your table. Its a smaller venue but all the food smells blend well. Im very sensitive to sea food but the items that were served never over powered. For as small as it is was not too loud. They have a too die for wine menu and the server was on his game to pair based of what we said we liked not just off what we ordered on the menu. I camt wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Who knew?!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/19/2014Neatly tucked away, little neighborhood secret. I have always driven by this place, but never knew anything about it. My first experience was amazing!!!! The food was really good, but the service will keep us coming back:) The staff here have some of the best personalities around!Special Features:
- Great Service!jeh1Dined on 8/19/2014We celebrated my Mother's 73rd birthday and everyone had a great time. The food is very good, the portions are huge and the service was exceptional. This is a great neighborhood spot and we were made to feel like we were family.Special Features:
- Love this place!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/12/2014We love this restaurant! The food and service are fantastic! I've been here a few times and always order seafood inspired dishes and they all have been delicious! This quaint neighborhood restaurant is a gem! The place is small so it gets a bit noisy when full so if you prefer a little quieter atmosphere, go early as we do before it's crowded. I highly recommend this place!!Special Features:
- Italian GoodnessNotSuperCriticalDined on 8/9/2014Have driven past Buona Sera before and have seen the crowds, but Open Table got a spot for us within an hour and a half! It was less busy than I expected but I'm not sure why since the food, service and selection was great! The waitress hand-picked a wine for us, dinner was awesome and dessert was scrumptious! Had a great first experience at Buona Sera!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful foodMarty57Dined on 8/5/2014Our party of four enjoyed our wine and meal very much. Our server was attentive without being in the way. The food was wonderful. Very flavorful and presented nicely. We had the Pollo Saltinbocca, Beef Gorgonzola and Salmon. All fabulous! The dining room is a small space so a bit noisy but the coziness is what makes it special. This is our place to celebrate special occasions in our lives.Special Features:
- Luv2eatVIPDined on 8/1/2014It's always a delight to dine at Buona Sera. The food is always the BEST, and the service is always friendly and efficient. The entire service staff works together and provides unfailing great service. The only drawback (if there is one) is that you usually need a reservation or a spur of the moment visit can be a long wait for a table,.....if they can accommodate you. One of the best dining experiences in the Twin Cities!!!Special Features:
- FantasticRAMAADined on 7/30/2014Service and food were both exceptional. I brought a small group of seven from work for a business dinner and they really enjoyed both the food, service and ambience. My husband and I really enjoying stopping in there for dinner as often as possible along with the rest of my family. We always have great service and exceptional food.Special Features:
- One of our favorit spotsnubien3Dined on 7/26/2014We absolutely love Buona Sera, every time we go we enjoy the food, the ambiance, and the service. It's one of those places that we often forget about because it's off the beaten path, but when we remember it we get excited! I'm so happy to have found this place, I've never been unsatisfied.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/26/2014we totally enjoyed our dinner experience, the staff was attentive and the food was very good and fresh. will definitely go there again.Special Features:
- great date nightjcmaxmomDined on 7/25/2014Had A Great Night At Buena Sera. We Had A LeisurelY 2 Hour Dinner. Food Was Tasty And Came out Hot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent as alwaysseniomsedDined on 7/19/2014Buona Sera is our favorite special occasion restaurant. We enjoyed pre-dinner drinks on their patio. The wait staff is outstanding and the food is unbelievable. The stuffed mushroom appetizer - excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Evening DiningluvurfoodDined on 7/15/2014We really enjoyed our servers and the food was great. We definitely did not leave hungry and had to take some home with us. Thank you for the experience. We will definitely make a return trip some day.Special Features:
- MontanaWoehsmissingitalianDined on 7/12/2014In town visiting and happened to stop in. Food was amazing! Never had better Salmon...ever! Wine selection was fab! We will be back!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MandnDined on 7/12/2014We have been coming here for several years. We have always had great service and the food is outstanding!Special Features:
- Always Good!!CathDined on 7/12/2014We love going to Buona Sera for special occasions or if we really want great Italian food! The food is always good. It's such a cute spot and so different, we like to take friends there who have never been - they are surprised and always happy with the food.Special Features:
- Just as good as I rememberedmagicjake7Dined on 7/2/2014Took my girlfriend here for her birthday and put a note in that it was her birthday. All the staff wished her a happy birthday the entire night. The restaurant is cozy, so don't be put off if it appears small. The tables have plenty of room and all have paper tablecloths with crayons for all ages to enjoy. We went on a Wednesday evening and it was not very busy, but it appeared that there may have been one server missing as our waitress struggled to keep up with our table. She was very nice and very knowledgeable, but always seemed about 5-10 minutes behind. The food was outstanding and with perfect portions. The price is about olive garden give or take; for the two of us, a bottle of wine, an appetizer and two entrees was less than $100.Special Features:
- BrianBrianDined on 7/2/2014Went for our 3rd anniversary and had made some special requests through open table. The waitress remembered everything and managed to NOT make it feel like she was fishing for a tip. From the waitress to the chef asking about our meal service was exceptional. Sauces were great, veal was a titch overdone. Wine was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expected a little more!GermanChickDined on 7/1/2014To start with and what bothered me most was that my husbands and my pork medallions were not evenly cooked and raw in places. I also didn`t like the side paste swimming in marinara sauce. Sometimes less is more :) The overall taste was really good though!Special Features:
- OutstandingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/29/2014Awesome meal for our special occasion. Looking forward to bringing our out of town guest there.Special Features:
- Great Little PlaceSmurfDined on 6/28/2014My husband and I heard about this resteraunt after visiting its sister resteraunt in Stillwater. The food is delicious and authentic. As a person who is gluten intolerant I appreciate that they have a decent selection of entrees besides just pasta. Waitstaff has always been very friendly and helpful. We will continue to come back again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/28/2014food was very good but my friend had wanted a beef dish and was told that there was no more beef. waiter recommended alternate dish which quite a bit higher in cost. more appropriate alternate should have been offered. she was unhappy and will probably not dine here again.Special Features:
- Disappointed.LeahdDined on 6/20/2014I had been referred to this restaurant by a friend who swore the food was amazing. When we got there, we waited forever to be seen by our waitress- no water, no hello, nothing. I held out because the food was supposed to be good. The soup was great, but everything else was mediocre and a bit over cooked. I wouldn't have put up with the poor service if I had known that the food was nothing special.Special Features:
- GREAT DINNER!dinner4us2Dined on 6/20/2014We always look forward to dinners at Buona Sera especially when we can sit on the patio. As usual we were not disappointed. Great food and great service.Special Features:
- A little bit of Italy in ChamplinbadminDined on 6/18/2014Love this place! The food is awesome and to have the owner/chef have his touch on every meal AND come out and greet you at the table is something special. Food is a bit pricey, but is definitely worth those special occasions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Authentic Italian2nearRRDined on 6/13/2014This is one of our favorite restaurants to go to for food quality only found in Italy. Everything was delicious!Special Features:
- Tired Italian so is the FoodSafariRomanticDined on 6/10/2014Tired Italian so is the Food... I like this place, its cozy warm great service and lots of potential. But the food quality is really sadly tiring, we have much better Italian chefs in the twin cities that cost much less. For example the mussels where overcooked, and the broth unseasoned and blend. So was the New York Strip, blend unseasoned not certainly not from the grill as it was stated on the menu, also all pastas where store bought. Nothing was homemade, sad very sad...wake up Chef -please.

Not adaptable for a case? Counts me out
This is simply not worth $120. I don't know why you would pay that amount of money when the Navigon app works just as well as any dedicated GPS. I wouldn't pay more than $40 for it (which is what I hoped it would be priced around). Overpriced, just like the TomTom app, which is worthless.
Navigon all the way!
Can't wait for the test results, tomtom have the best navi data out at the moment, everything else is too far out of date
looks perfect for my needs
who the hell keeps their iPhone in a case anyway
But if you have $120 to waste on something as ridiculous as this, then you probably wouldn't care about breaking your phone either.
I bought a case for a reason and I wouldn't want my phone in direct sun light when it gets 120F+ here.
Over priced JUNK. I'm really glad I was able to "try" tomtom. I would have been really mad spending $100 and total JUNK.
Navigon FTW
It's a nice design, but not worth $120. I wish someone would take TomTom's powered dock look and feel and release one without the built-in GPS for about $20-35.
It will fail without case removal
Tom Tom really did not think this one through...It is a shame....
definitly a great accessory but as everyone said.. no case, no care. Then there is the price and limited to TomTom app only
hahaha everyone here is thinking the same. When I first saw that video, I was also thinking about the case. I'm NOT getting this for sure.
Personally, I use a combo between the Invisible Shield by Zagg to protect my phone from scratches as well as iFrogz hard case to protect it from drops.
I use both TomTom and Navigon on my phone and from personal experience here in LA, the GPS signal using the built in iPhone receiver isn't as reliable as it should be. The phone would loose GPS signal just by passing under an over pass or a large big rig. The worst would be when traveling on the highway, TomTom and Navigon would state I am located in some bogus location before figuring out my real location while mid travel.
I don't mind removing the hard case temporarily seeing as I have the Invisible Shield anyway. Any if it is true that this GPS receiver is capable of being used with other apps like Navigon, I think I might give it a go and drop my dedicated Garmin GPS.
I don't use a case and would like this to supplement CoPilot - but not at that price. Shame.
The GPS is fine already on the iPhone,went from Manchester to Halifax without any problems, well my mum drove :P!
LOL!! Same here, I got CoPilot because it's cheap but I also "tried" TomTom and I have to say TomTom is better!!
Why do you think TT is better - IMHO it fails on every count.
The GPS on the iPhone is so much worse than on every other phone it is unbelievable, the information it passes to the s/w is a fraction of nmea standards and needs to be requested. I truly is awful.

As you've probably heard, the federal shutdown is over.
What did the political impasse cost? According to Standard & Poor's, the company being sued by the U.S. for lying repeatedly during the financial crisis, $24 billion was sucked out of the economy.
There were other costs. Vacations were ruined, businesses suffered and government workers endured a lot of stress.
Some of the stress was from not working or knowing when the next paycheck would arrive. For one woman, the stress may have been from overwork.
As the vote was being taken to end the shutdown, a stenographer working in the House of Representatives began shouting about God, Founding Fathers and the Constitution. [Listen to the audio]
Initially, many House members thought she had gotten ahold of a campaign speech.
It's a shame they dragged the stenographer away. She may have been the sanest person in the room.
The House vote to end the shutdown passed by a 285-144 vote. All Georgia Democrats voted "Yea," all Republicans voted "Nay."

Why does someone who is sick and tired of watching the scum of the earth destroy this nation and speaks out when she knows she has the media's attention automatically assumed to be mentally ill? We have the vast majority of the clowns in Congress believing that they can spend more money than the government steals from everyone and that is the foundation of a sound economic policy. We have people on both sides of the aisle who would sell out the future of America for a billion dollar pork payoff for their campaign donors back home. We have people on both sides of the aisle who think its ok to waste a couple of trillion dollars destroying countries, killing innocent men, woman, and children, occupying nations and costing the lives and futures of US soldiers all to secure pipeline rights and oil for the major US oil companies. We have folks on both sides of the aisle who actually think that a private banking cartel headed by the Federal Reserve that has the power to create money out of thin air who lends trillions of dollars to foreign banks, American companies, and directly bails out the companies their leadership used to work for should remain in charge of the American money supply. I could go on and on.
Let's hope she is not the last person we hear from expressing their disgust with the two-party failure that has destroyed this nation.

Poor babies. Some government employees suffered some inconveniences because the Congress had to hammer out a deal based on a disagreement about what is best for our country. I hope those babies can survive the blip in their lives. Ask not what your country can do for you…. ask what (oh never mind. forget it – they wouldn't understand).

Actually, Pitbull, it was more than an inconvenience. Many federal workers who have mortgages, bills, family obligations, car notes, school debts that accrued during the time when the government officials were sitting around on their a**es trying to make a political statement. As a government worker, I didn't ask for Congress for any special handouts or any special treatment. All I ask is that Congress do its job! It's a sorry state of affairs when the leaders of this country can't accept the result of elections!

All this does is kick the can down the road until January, when this will all come up again. All the Dems want to do is spend us into oblivion as a nation, much like Greece did. Obama has spent more than all other presidents combined. Let that sink in. 1 more than previous 43.
Now they wanna throw in obozocare? God help us.
For the GOP, only 18 of them are worth anything. The other RINOs need to be voted out next election so we can get some representatives in there who have balls. The only way to right our sinking ship is to boot the dems out of the white house and congress and get true conservatives in there…republicans will soon go the way of the whigs.

Hidden Agenda: First of all, I'm typing this from the continental US, and as of right now, we have not yet "been destroyed". Would you prefer a singular party rule with no other choices? Third parties never do well, so I'm not sure how you expect this to change any time soon. Second, I don't recall anytime recent where a Democratic POTUS spent trillions destroying other countries. Obama is trying to wind down our wars. I'm certinaly not saying blame falls squarely on Republicans for everything, but for war-mongering…um, heck yes.

I guess I must have missed where some party other than the democrats and the republicans was responsible for imposing upon this country the criminal Federal Reserve, the Income Tax, Social Security, Medicare, Medicare Part D, Vietnam, Korea, Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Lybia, Syria, Somalia, Pakistan, Lebanon, $17 Trillion in debt, over $1 Trillion in projected annual deficits for the next 10 years at least, $250+ Trillion in unfunded liabilities for SS, Medicare and Part D alone, Obamacare, HMOs, the failed War on Drugs, the highest prison population on the planet, electronic eavesdropping on virtually every electronic communication on the planet, a CIA that runs drugs, created the crack epidemic of the 90s, assassinates world leaders and overthrows governments (Iran 1953, Diem in Vietnam as just two examples), a government that pays farmers not to grow crops, a regulatory apparatus that destroys jobs and forces companies off-shore just to compete, a government that throws people in jail for wanting to drink raw milk, a government that is conspiring to protect Monsanto while it systematically takes control of the global food supply while destroying the remaining food items and possibly the bee populations with its untested GMO crops, and I could go on and on.
Your attitude of resignation is disgusting. The two major parties are virtually the same on every critical issue and yet Americans continue to support them both, showing absolutely no courage in supporting any of the hundreds of principled alternative parties or even working for better candidates within these two failures.
We are absolutely getting the government we deserve – from both sides of the aisle.

@ The Hidden Agenda, I gotta say, you do have a long list of failures our government is responsible for directly or indirectly. Unfortunately, our government design requires compromise just to get out of bed in the morning and to solve a lot of these issues would require a lot of time and compromise and that's in short supply these days. You're right though, it is the government of the people.
October 17th, 2013

October 17th, 2013
11:33 am
Actually the constitution as written does not require compromise at all. It is very clear on the limits of government power and the proper method of altering those limits (amendments).
The only thing the two major parties that "run" our government ever compromise are the principles of freedom and liberty (and the supposed constitutional limits on government power).
If the people we elect would NOT compromise these things, we never would have ended up where we are.
October 17th, 2013
12:21 pm
Actually I think you're wrong, compromise is the backbone of our government, this government was formed when a majority put aside distinct differences in opinion and personal priniciples to work together to found the new government. I would argue that the limits of government are to foster compromise rather than allowing one vision be the rule. I would also argue that maybe your version of freedom and liberty differs from mine. I think you saw what happens when elected officials do NOT compromise, federal government does NOT function. It has to function in order to change, even to compact itself into a leaner government. Even governments with multiple parties routinely see those parties form coalitions to pass laws that compromise some of their principles.

The rest of the world is watching Obama and the American media tell the dumbmasses of this country what to think. I am on international confernece calls on a daily basis, and people from all over the globe are right to say that Obama, the Dems and our media are destroying this country. It is sad when people in other countries all over the world understand how our government is suppose to work, moreso than the majority of the American people do.
How much longer will you people believe that the Republicans a dead party one minute, then turn around the next second and give them all this power to stop the government? It is scary the way Obama has brainwashed you into zombies. No wonder the Walking Dead is such a hit of a TV show, it is reflective of the way you people think.
Anyone that continues to support what Obama is doing to this country should be ashamed at the irreversible damage you are allowing him to do to US.

"Is it too much to ask for an actual budget? Not even a balanced budget, just a freaking budget."
Obama doesn't want a budget, he likes the Continuing Resolution approach where he is given a blank check every three months to spend us into oblvian. He will do this again in 3 months and blame the Republicans and Tea Party for not allowing him to spend, spend, spend.
By the time Obama leaves office the damage will be done.

Any 6th grader with access to the internet can figure out that marijuana is nigh harmless when compared to alcohol. Sounds to me like you want complete anarchy. So you don't think medicare and social security are good ideas? What, another "Socialism" is evil "argument"? The richest country in the world that professes to be Christian can't take care of its old/homeless/poor? You sound like a complete ranter with no solutions to offer, but lots of grievances.

@ BenDaho, If you read Kyle Wingfield's column, then you'd realize even he knows that you and your kind are going to alienate everyone in the middle with you're less than persuasive, "you all are sheep"-style rants. When Obamacare fails the prez will get all the blame if you clowns get out of the way and just let it happen. Otherwise he'll blame it on your obstructionist tactics and some in the middle will buy that arguement. The conservatives won't reap as much from the failure of Obamacare as long as y'all keep railing against it. You end up looking like your tilting against Windmills. Do you guys even realize you're starting to sound like the professional victims that y'all are constantantly claiming are sucking up all our tax dollars from entitlements.

SUMMIT, N.J. (AP) — Students who forget lunch or homework will be out of luck in one New Jersey school district.
Summit schools are stopping unannounced visits in the interest of safety.
The district says as many as 400 people visit Summit High School daily.
In a letter to parents, school Superintendent Nathan Parker writes many visitors are parents dropping off lunches, homework, musical instruments and athletic equipment.
Parker writes that eliminating the visits will make the schools safer and teach students to be accountable.
Students who forget lunches will be fed in the cafeteria and given IOUs.
Parents will need to make appointments to see teachers and administrators. Parents also must send notes the day before in order to pick up children.

KHQ.COM - Rescuers in the town of West, near Waco, Texas continue to comb ruins left from a massive fertilizer explosion Wednesday.
The blast leveled homes and businesses and shook the ground with the strength of a small earthquake. As many as 15 people could be dead and more than 160 are injured.
Explosions at fertilizer plants are not common. However, the mix of gases and chemicals created during production are potentially dangerous.
There is a facility in Post Falls, Idaho and another in Kennewick that is similar to the fertilizer plant in West, Texas. As for Spokane, there are fertilizer storage facilities in the area that also house ammonium. However, experts say the odds of an explosion like the one in Texas happening here is extremely low.
"It is so rare, I do not think anyone has a good guess," said Jim Fitzgerald, Executive Director of the Far West Agribusiness Association. "I think it is going to be difficult just looking at the pictures of the explosion to figure out what's happening."
The cause of the explosion at the plant in West, Texas has yet to be determined. So for now, no changes will be made at similar plants here in Washington.
"In this particular isolated case we don't know what caused it," Fitzgerald said. "We don't know if there is a risk."
Although the explosion at a fertilizer plant is rare, the Spokane HAZMAT Team is prepared to handle it if it were to happen.
"They have special training, special equipment and just an incredible amount of capability to be able to take care of those problems," said Spokane Fire Department Assistant Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer.
Fire Station One in downtown Spokane has two HAZMAT trucks, along with crews on call that are trained to detect any kind of chemical.
"We also have weapons grade instrumentation, so if there is a chemical used in a weapon of mass destruction, we have equipment that will identify and register that," Schaeffer said.
There is even a database that keeps track of what businesses store high-risk chemicals.
Recent events like the explosion in Texas and even the bombings at the Boston Marathon, help crews better prepare for worst-case scenarios in Spokane.
"We are very dialed in when it comes to what happens nationwide, domestic or international terrorism," Schaeffer said.
Right now, the HAZMAT team has equipment on loan that could be used at Bloomsday this year. The equipment has several monitoring devices that can detect explosive material in a two-mile radius. Therefore, if someone were to walk by with an explosive of any kind, the monitor would send a signal to a laptop hooked up at the command center. That way, police could then go locate the explosive.

FSCs offerings expanding
By Meg Olson
The Blaine family service centers expanding menu is reaching out to adults this year, with a growing list of classes, workshops and outreach programs geared to help kids by helping their parents.
We want to get an adult program going that will focus mainly on three areas: service to the English as a second language (ESL) community, fun things for families to do together and helping people with career development, said family service center coordinator Leaf Schumann. A lot of that will blend together.
Through the three-year 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant that will provide $810,000 for the school district to build on community activities, the family service center hasdeveloped new after school and summer programs for children. This year the center will add two new positions and get several new programs rolling that provide fun and learning opportunities parents and kids can share.
Schumann said the district is hiring a family projects coordinator that will work with parent teacher organizations to develop more after school family activities. We want to work with whats there and create what isnt, he said. Wed like to get regular programs going in the evenings for families to do together. One program now in development is a family reding program, through which parents and young readers share a reading lesson and get a free book to take home.
The new coordinator will also be developing open library nights at designated schools. Schumann said they will try and develop job search classes for parents that mesh with the open library nights.
We want people to be able to come here, take a class on interviewing and resumes and then be able to go into the library and access Washington job resources on the Internet while their child reads a book or plays with friends, he said. They are side by side with their child.
Alex Elizavetsky was recently hired to serve as a community outreach and ESL coordinator. He is working with the Russian immigrant community, providing translation services and helping them get access to resources.
We hope this will lead to job search services and strengthen the districts relationship with this segment of our community, Schumann said. Through the Whatcom Literacy Council, trained volunteers are providing one on one English tutoring for ten adults, and the program antricipates adding ten new students each year as volunteer tutors are available.
Through the Wednesday morning parents group, the service center has been bringing in experts on everything from finding work to solving family conflicts. Schumann said they plan to offer more special classes and staff and community workshops.
In Februry, two Thursday afternoon workshops will focus on kids with difficulty reading and mental illness issues for children and families. March worshops will address attention deficit disorder and alcohol risk. An class is also planned for June through Bellingahm Technical College on raising a spirited child.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Nine times out of ten, whether it's Fox or Basil, Gold Capped has an article dedicated to helping those less successful auctioneers step up their game. Consistently this article is well written, by both of these gentlemen and it rarely excludes Warcraft's "middle class".
You may take offense to this particular article, but look at it from that perspective. I'd also point out that there are authors on this site that consistently write articles aimed at progression raiders, and by that I mean articles that have absolutely no value to anyone that isn't in a top end, hard core progression guild. This makes me feel, I'm sure, something similar to what you're feeling when you read this article, you see, as I'm a casual raider. And they write those articles assuming that their entire audience raids like they do. Which means I rarely, if ever, read those authors anymore because they ARE detached from their audience.
So my point is, this is just one article, take a deep breath and come back next time. Or peruse some older articles in the Gold Capped series, I guarantee it would be worth your time.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Kalamazoo Public School kids got an extra day of winter break and it wasn't because of yesterday's wimpy winter storm. The district issued a brief statement Thursday night citing "heightened concerns" but not mentioning any specific threats. Alex lee explained they are taking the step to help calm community anxiety.
It wasn't only Kalamazoo Schools, five school systems in Battle Creek and other schools scattered all over the state did the same thing.
But some may have their anxiety lifted over the winter break. Officials say they plan to spend it tracking those responsible for initiating any threats or spreading rumors.
A Fraser High School student could be spending Chrismas in Juvenile Detention, after he was taken into custody on charges of making a false threat of terrorism after allegedly saying he was going to shoot people.
A fellow student told the principal about the comments andFraser Public Schools Superintendent Dr. David Richards says they did not hesitate to act.Penalties can range from 5 to 20 years for making threats under new anti-terrorism laws. It's no longer considered a prank.

The Middlesex-London Health Unit is getting ready to make a push for smoke-free apartment complexes.
It's a movement that has been picking up speed in Ontario and has been spearheaded largely by the Non-Smokers' Rights Association and the Ontario Coalition for Smoke-Free Housing.
The local effort ' expected to hit the public eye this fall ' comes as Drewlo Holdings swings the doors open on what it's billing as the first smoke-free complex in London.
Linda Stobo, program manager for chronic disease prevention and tobacco control at the health unit, worked with Drewlo on its development at 70 Capulet Ln.
Since no one at the provincial or local level keeps stats on smoke-free housing units, there's no way to know if Drewlo Holdings really is a pioneer in the Forest City. It is, however, the only one the Health Unit knows about.
"If there are other (smoke-free) units out there or other property management groups interested in (going smoke-free) … we encourage them to contact us," Stobo said.
But, she added, one thing is certain ' demand is increasing for cleaner high-rise air.
"We have been talking to other property management groups that have been exploring (the idea of) transitioning (older properties) or making new developments smoke-free," Stobo said.
The interest comes as people become more and more aware about the dangers of old news, like second-hand smoke, and something that's a bit newer on the cancer-causing list: The residue left over after smoke evaporates, called third-hand smoke.
Since cigarette smoke drifts through practically everything in an apartment complex ' including light fixtures and electrical outlets ' snubbing it out all together is the only way to keep people safe, Stobo said.
At the national level, the Non-Smokers' Rights Association has been pushing the idea of non-smoking complexes for several years. The nonprofit has written procedures for landlords to follow if they are making the move and has published several case studies on companies building smoke-free units;. They are also behind smokefreehousingon.ca, which provides information about the issue.
Right now, the group is working at the grassroots level to rally support for the cause. Once there's enough support, the issue could land in legislators' laps, said Garfield Mahood, the association's founding executive director.
"You're seeing more and more work being done on this by the health units across Canada," Mahood said. "This is definitely one of our hottest issues. One of the most active files in tobacco-control today."
