Hardwood cuttings provide an easy and reliable method of propagating a range of deciduous climbers, trees and shrubs, and as bonus, they are taken from mid-autumn until late winter when more time is usually available to the gardener.
Most deciduous shrubs including: Abelia, Deutzia, Buddleja (butterfly bush), Cornus (dogwood), Forsythia, Philadelphus (mock orange) Ribes (flowering currant), Rosa (rose), and Symphoricarpos and viburnums.
Many climbers can be propagated by hardwood cuttings: Vitis (vines), Lonicera (honeysuckle), Jasminum, and Parthenocissus.
Fruit, including: gooseberries, black, red and white currants, fig, mulberry.
Trees, including: Platanus (plane), Populus (poplars) and Salix (willow)
Although usually restricted to deciduous plants, some evergreen cuttings are taken at this time including Cotoneaster, Ilex (holly), Ligustrum (privet), Skimmia. However these are treated in the same way as semi-ripe cuttings.
Hardwood cutting are taken in the dormant season (mid-autumn until late winter) after leaf fall, avoiding periods of severe frost. The ideal time is just after leaf fall or just before bud-burst in spring.
Although this type of cutting may be slow to develop roots and shoots, it is usually successful.
The cuttings can generally be forgotten about until the following year, as the cut surface undergoes a period of callusing over the winter from which roots will develop in the spring.
Hardwood cuttings are often grown on outdoors in the ground in a prepared trench. However, if you are only taking a small number, you can grow them on in containers too. Some, dogwoods for example, benefit from protection with cloches or coldframe.
If outdoor conditions are unsuitable, or for slow rooting plants, bundles of 10 to 12 cuttings can be temporarily planted in a frame or pot filled with moist sand until the spring. Cornus and Laburnum are examples of hardwood cuttings which may take longer to root.
In early spring, before the buds break, make a trench 12.5cm (5in) deep and set the cuttings out as described above.
If you need more than one row, space them 30-40cm (1ft-16in) apart. Firm the soil around the cuttings.
The following autumn the cuttings should have rooted and can be planted out or potted on as required.
If you are only taking a few cuttings, there is no need to dig a trench as outlined above, simply insert cuttings into deep containers of gritty potting medium such as 50:50 coarse grit and multi-purpose compost. Keep the pots in a sheltered cold frame or unheated greenhouse until the following autumn, ensuring that they do not dry out.
In cold winters or regions hardwood cuttings may root better with protection from a coldframe, cloches or inside a frost free building.
Cuttings will need to be protected from rabbits and deer if they are a local problem. Mouse and rat control may also be needed.

Wikia's notification system is broken and does not send me notification e-mails, so I will not see messages you post on my talkpage.
Welcome! Edit
Hi Dantman -- we are excited to have Animanga Wiki as part of the Wikia community! Thanks for joining us, and we'd like to give you some tips to help you get started on making your wiki great.
Your first four steps: Edit
1. Create your User Page - this is a great place to introduce yourself (and practice wiki-editing!)2. Add a logo - learn how to create a logo image, then click here to add it to the wiki.
3. Create your first 10 articles - use the box on the right to create ten pages, starting each one off with a few sentences. For example if you are starting a wiki on a TV show, you might create an article for each main character.
4. Edit your Main Page - add internal links ([[like this]]) to the ten articles you just created, and any other improvements you can think of.
Once you've done these four things, you've created a great starting point -- your wiki looks friendly and ready for visitors. You can then invite some friends to help you create the next twenty pages, and expand the ones you've built.
Keep going! The more pages you create and link to each other, the sooner that others who are searching for "Animanga Wiki" will be able find your project in search engines, read your content and join you in editing.
If you have more questions, we've provided a full set of help pages, or you can email us through our contact form. Don't forget to check out other wikis on Wikia for ideas on layout, organizing your pages, and more. Have fun!
Best wishes, Catherine Munro 23:11, May 26, 2009
Kyo Kara Maoh Edit
I moved that line to the top, cleared my browser, but when I tried an article to see if it worked it did the same thing. I got tired of seeing the message so I deleted all the tables, however, if you'd like to see what it looks like go to the Conrart Weller page on my wiki.--Kylecharmed 15:32, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Templates? Edit
Hi there. I'm Tou, and I noticed that you said that any wikis that wanted to sync up with yours should just come to you. I need just that. My wikia is: http://phunk.wikia.com/wiki/Phunk_Wiki If you need me, feel free to drop a line on my talk page of email me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks. :] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tou (talk • contribs) 14:24, July 17, 2009
That wiki is currently unfinished, but myself, and a few friends of mine roleplay Naruto, and we wanted to make a wikia similar to bleach.wiki and Narutopedia for our characters. We thought that it would be cool to have the templates featured on those wikias as well so that we could have that official look to it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tou (talk • contribs) 00:34, July 18, 2009
- Well, is there any way that you would like us to prove to you that we deserve the templates and such? --Tou 06:15, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Scope Edit
What is the full scope of the animanga wiki? Is it mainly just a directory for full wikis, with other related articles like authors, production companies, and definitions?
I'll get to cleaning up the pages I dumped from wikipedia (to just intro and plot), but what about small titles that don't currently, or may never have a wiki of their own like Kure-nai, how much should I remove?
On a side note, should I be adding "banners" to articles on w:c:anime w:c:manga for titles that have their own wiki and/or are now listed here to direct users here?--Sxerks 23:10, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Rollback Edit
Can I be added as a Rollback on this wiki? It would make reverting stuff like this easier.
On a side note the blue-link on blue-background of the Series Template doesn't stick out well, I think it also needs to be a little bigger in order to emphasize that there is/isn't a dedicated wiki.--Sxerks 02:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Question Edit
Can we create the characters we want to promote? Coldhandzz 08:48, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
RE: logos and series template and xml Edit
I only noticed afterwards that there was the ability to do a server-call for the link, from looking at another of your templates. It does look better now without the blue-on-blue links.
So the genre at the top aren't categories? But at the bottom of the page there is a "Special:SearchByProperty". People clicking on a genre like "comedy" in the series box would more than likely be looking for other comedies and not a definition. If its going to stay like that, what other than a link to "Special:SearchByProperty" at the top of a genre page would be best?
Side question- Is there a way to use input forms to generate a large block of xml pages that can be imported into a wiki?
Example: Fill in "series name", "# of volumes", "# of chapters", "# of episodes" and get hundreds of pages with links to each other (previous-next chapter...) in one xml file.
Or is that something that is not possible here, but could be done off-site?
I'm mainly looking at helping new wikis easily generate pages, because it helps contributers jump in, even if there are just generic headers on every page like (summary and characters introduced...).--Sxerks 17:12, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
- When looking at Property:Genre I see some dupes with different spelling (Slice of life, Slice of Life, Slice-of-life and diff sci-fi). First, which spelling/capitalization should be used. Second, is there a page that lists Genre properties in an alphabetical list to more easily find the dups?
- As for the XML thing, I don't think I explained what I was talking about well enough, it didn't have anything to do with templates here.
- I was looking to see if it was possible to generate multiple pages with generic content headers and interlinks like this that can then be imported(Special:Import) into a brand new wiki to facilitate easy growth.
- I wanted to know if the "Edit with Form" like tools were powerful enough to do this or whether it would be easier with an off-site program.--Sxerks 01:30, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
- The format itself mandated or static, the pages default content would be inputed in a Form box.
Mine would be something like:
[[File:C###.jpg|320px|right]] Title Title Japanese Date Volume [[CP###|Previous Chapter → CPN###]] [[CN###|Next Chapter → CNN###]] ==Synopsis== ==Referbacks== ==Trivia== ===Cultural References== ===Unanswered Questions=== ===Memorable Moments=== ==Quotes==
where start with other Form values: C### = Minami-ke Manga Chapter 001, CP### = Minami-ke Manga Chapter 000, CN###=Minami-ke Manga Chapter 002, CPN=000, CNN=002 It then generates 130 pages with all the correct values in one xml file and its imported.
For SoulEater, something like:
{{Infobox/SoulEater/Episode |blank info .... |episode = ### |blank info ... |} ==Prologue== ==Summary== ==Differences from the manga==
The only different is in that case you are using episode titles in the page name(which could be in another form box)
What I have seen in going though all the anime wikis here on Wikia is that most of them are blank, or they only have character pages. Most new people can only figure out enough of wiki code to do simple editing anyway. I would go and generate pages on semi-dead/dead wikis for series I've never seen/read to help growth, I did it manually on rosario+vampire. --Sxerks 02:20, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
Hello Edit
Hello annoying user, just don't ever talk to me.This is all I am saying to you. Don't respond.Saimaroimaru 22:09, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
Series Template Edit
Is the "type=Anime, Manga...." going to be displayed like the Genre and Tag are, or at least part of some searchable category?
And is that field going to be editable with the "Edit this Forum"?
If a series has a Fanon wiki, can it be added to a category like "Series with Fanon Wiki" that with display at the bottom along with the "Series" category?
- --Sxerks 03:48, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
why? Edit
Why did you delete my page. This is ironic you baned me in the naruto wiki for the same stuff you just to me.Saimaroimaru 20:52, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
Anyway, I've come to apologize for my behavior in the naruto wiki. In the bleach wiki we are allowed to delete whatever we want on our talk and user pages(if we aren't alowed well that rule isn't enforced there) and I just overreacted.I'm sorry. Can you unban me?Saimaroimaru 21:18, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
Okay, whats your policy on the word shit because someoneuser on bleach wiki is calling my idea a full of shit. Its one thing to disagree and prove wrong its another to go around calling others thought shit. Bleach wiki seems to be losely governed while Naruto wiki has a nice set of enforced rules. Iam I unbaned? I have some words to say on this yoton debate and a sugesstion.Saimaroimaru 21:31, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
I see. Well watch out for Tinni on the bleach wiki, he'll call your idea full of shit if it doesn't conform to his ideas.Saimaroimaru 21:51, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, great now i'm stuck in a flame war with this person on the bleach wiki.Saimaroimaru 22:14, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
Sorry Edit
Sorry I was unaware, it wont happen again - TheColorEarth
Create article Edit
Is there a way to modify MediaWiki:Newarticletext to include the Series article Form, since clicking on a red-link doesn't offer the Form now?--Sxerks 16:43, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
RE: TGlevel1.jpgEdit
This file is my original artwork, created from scratch in pencil and then rendered up in photoshop. Every piece of artwork I've uploaded here was created by myself and released under a GFDL license. If I should have used a different license, please let me know, but you have my word as the image's creator that it is totally legit. Ciao, TGcomix 12:30, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
- Well, every image in that article is my original work; three of them were originally posted on the Spanking Art Wiki under GFDL (which I was told was the correct license to use). You can check their sources here:
The fourth image is more recent, but I have also released it under a GFDL license here.
And if your statement that you drew them yourself was true then they wouldn't even be authentic images.
No, they aren't Japanese screencaps, manga or CG, but then again, neither is the picture of Wiki-tan being used as the site's logo. They're illustrations which can be used by anyone on this site without risking fair use challenges or similar complications. TGcomix 13:04, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I could replace them with small-sized screencaps from some of the shows mentioned in the article. If that would be an acceptable solution, please let me know what conditions would satisfy the fair use rationale, and I'll get onto it. Ciao, TGcomix 02:10, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
Tag Sync Request(s)Edit
When you have the time, add w:c:codegeass to the template tag sync queue. Thanks. Simant 19:19, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
- Other admins agreed (Anubis zero, Plau), also got request for w:c:codegeassfanon to have them added as well from Anubis zero. Simant 20:51, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
- I think the tweaks for the codegeass wikia are complete, I just can't touch the fanon wikia since no admin privileges there. Simant 18:24, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
spotlight background Edit
I just noticed that the "Code Geass" spotlight I put up has white text and transparency making it unreadable. Is there a simple way to add a "background color" option to the spotlight template.--Sxerks 21:18, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
Death Note Template Edit
I am sorry to ask as I am sure u are busy, but on Animepedia I found this Death Note Template. Here's a link [4]. I couldn't find it on this Wikia so I figured I'd ask someone. Iwould like to put this on my talkpage located here [5]. This is not by any means a priority question, but if u could help me with it that would be great. Thank u for u'or time. Minato 22:36, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
Hey sorry, but I've got it now. U can delete this message if u want. Minato 22:56, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
Show/Hide Edit
I noticed you did some Show/Hide work with the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki. Would it be possible that you could do this for my Wiki as well? --KamikazePyro 21:20, December 11, 2009 (UTC)
- I've done that but it still doesn't seem to be working. Thanks though. --KamikazePyro 22:06, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

- Alright, I deleted that stuff. Is anything supposed to look different? --KamikazePyro 02:16, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, it is now. Thank you very much. --KamikazePyro 02:43, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Promoting onto a Bureaucrat (in MMKB)Edit
Celebrating my 2000th edit in Mega Man Wiki, I was wondering if I could be promoted to become a Bureaucrat. Quick, there is inactive, and this wikia has been suffering some edit wars. Can you respond ASAP? --Vzing 22:42, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
Sengoku era sword and sorcery Edit
Just to inform you, "Sengoku era sword and sorcery" is not a genre recognized by Wikipedia. It is a compound genre description consisting of "Sengoku era" and "sword and sorcery". It is unique to the article about InuYasha and is featured in exactly one article. I may misunderstand some things but I have always been under impression that genre labels' primary function is to find works similar in tone, setting, and plot. Considering that InuYasha is the only anime/manga that can be found under "Sengoku era sword and sorcery" "genre" under current constellation, its function is completely lost to me. :) --Koveras Alvane 19:12, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
Image float right, next to infoboxEdit
I was wondering if you wanted to copy this over here. Simant 18:58, February 20, 2010 (UTC)
Re: Template QueueEdit
Sure, i'll clean a few up and move them over. But just to check, are certain templates being left out, or are all of them being moved. Simant 15:35, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Series Tag Edit
Oh, OK! Sorry about that, I'll definetely remember that from now on. Thanks! Ilyanathundersage 17:34, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
AnimeBot? Edit
Hey Dantman, I've been wondering for some time now: Over the past 2 or so years, the anime wikia has jumped around quite a bit, but has the AnimeBot been following it as far as its template source for copying to other wikis is concerned (that is, where is the bot currently pulling templates to copy from)? 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 15:17, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
- AnimeBot currently syncs from anime.wikia, js and css is also shared from there. That's basically the only real reason anime.wikia is still floating around. Templates are being slowly copied over here, cleaned up, and improved. Once that's done I'm going to do some more thought on syncing and come up with a new method of syncing pages. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk ⁝ Animanga Talk)
- So if I want to improve content that AnimeBot syncs, should I do it at anime.wikia or here (or both)? 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 19:43, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
- anime.wikia has the things currently being synced. It's nice to also improve the stuff here that'll eventually replace it too though. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk ⁝ Animanga Talk)
- How exactly is content being moved from anime.wikia to here? And, depending on that, would you mind me moving stuff if I come across something on anime.wikia that isn't here? Also depending on that, what about backporting changes from here to anime.wikia? And one last question, are you aware of templates.wikia? 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 20:13, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
- Templates are moved manually and cleaned up. I asked Simant to help a bit, you're free to also. Anything copied over should be cleaned up similarly to w:c:anime:Template:Wikipedia which became Template:Wikipedia. Documentation is moved to a separate page, templates like ACGNetwork are removed, and for sitename use {{WIKINAME}} is used.

- I wouldn't bother paying attention to templates.wikia even if it had come to my attention. The templates there are the same as the templates around the rest of Wikia, they're wrought with bad practices brought on by lack of ability to control css styles, which doesn't apply to Wikia's smaller communities. As well as other ugly ways of doing templates, most of the templates on anime.wikia were personally improved by me and made to be nice and flexible. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk ⁝ Animanga Talk)
- All right, though I can't see why {{Doc}}'s styling doesn't seem to get used on other templates - is this a problem only I am having, or is it a known issue? And I bring up templates.wikia not necessarily to pull ideas from it (though I personally wouldn't be quite so quick to dismiss it), but rather to look at porting some of the better or more general-purpose features from animanga.wikia's content set to there. In addition, it would seem to me that new and updated templates for starter.wikia are more likely to be pulled from there than anywhere else on Wikia. 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 02:56, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Where is {{Doc}}'s style not showing up? It should be showing on all template pages. A screenshot might help. As for templates.wikia I dunno, the incompatibility goes both ways, the templates here use actual css rather than inline styles, so taking them outside the project makes the styles and half their advantages disappear. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk ⁝ Animanga Talk)
- Hmm, now it is... must've been some sort of browser cache bug on my end. =/ As for templates.wikia, I understand the use of the inline styles versus classes here, but considering that wiki's purpose, it's a necessary sacrifice. Still, I could understand why you wouldn't want to take time adapting templates for use there, considering how much work it can be converting classes to inline styles (and especially considering that some class CSS is next to impossible to make work inline). 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 02:55, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Importing anime and manga over from Wikipedia before its destroyedEdit
For quite some time now, a group over at Wikipedia have been sending batches of Anime and Manga articles to AFD each week. These are always listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Anime_and_manga so they are easy to find. This includes those that have been published in notable manga magazines, which more often than not, get deleted do to lack of coverage in third party media sources. If you want a fast way to add to your Wiki, and save articles that deserve to be saved, then that's a good place to grab some to export from Wikipedia, and import over here. Only administrators can use the import command of course. Dream Focus 05:25, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Why not fix Candidates for Deletion? Edit
I have noticed that there are some Series Articles dumped into the Candidates for Deletion because it was "poorly done". The term "poorly done" is vague enough, and the lack of editors (especially from the admin or bureaucrat side) is disappointing. Why aren't these articles properly maintained? Isn't it the job of the admin to actively edit stuff he/she thinks needs editing? Or does the problem lie with the lack of an admin which is knowledgeable with anime?
I hope those decent articles over at the Candidates for Deletion category are moved away from that category and fast. It makes this Wiki less maintained. heraldofmeridian♣ 03:54, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Well, we don't really need a very extensive way of handling stuff. We just have to show that we accept the good edits that users contribute, not blatantly mark them as "bad" edits and throw them elsewhere. Categorizing articles as "for deletion" might scare away Wiki creators.
- As for your your other point, yes, I can't expect that an admin is gonna fix what a user contributed that has some flaws in it, but "A page may be written poorly, yet still have a purpose... Clarify it instead of throwing it away," according to here. Also, this Wiki is a community. You might be the admin, but everyone else can help out anyway. heraldofmeridian♣ 12:44, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Independent Deadman Wonderland Wiki Edit
Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm gonna stay with Wikia. An independent site will be more work and a whole new start, now that I've done so much for the current wiki. I'm just used to Wikia and I think it's an easy way to work and edit the wiki. Again, thanks for the offer, but it's just going to stay the way it is. *Burtn (shout!) 13:40, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

Animepedia Bot Edit
Hi Dantman. I am an editor at InuYasha Wiki and created my own wiki Maison Ikkoku Wiki (which is deleted, by the way). I'd like to know how my wiki can get the 'special' or TagSynced templates like {{-}} and {{hover}}. I was told that the bot isn't working anymore, so can you help me out? Thanks, Ryoga (talk) 04:05, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
HELP PLEASEEdit
Hi I am hoping you and Sx can help, they (Brandon) are trying to delete the School-Days wiki because the visual novel that the anime is based on had sex scenes in it. I'm sure you know that a lot of anime are like this (Fate/stay, Kanon for example) and this has very wide-spread implications. +y@talk 02:39, February 19, 2012 (UTC)
anime wiki merge Edit
The merge between "anime" and "animanga" is going to use "anime" as the primary subdomain. Since you are the one who came up with the name, do you have any opinion one way or the other. see my talk page. --Sxerks 04:40, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

At around 6-foot-5 with a quick first step, Battle is tough to guard and has made an impact from day one at the high school level. Battle first emerged playing up on the AAU circuit for Team Final, and he has only gotten better and more consistent with his play.
"It is a good chance to see what it is like," said Battle. "This is all a learning experience for me. I also have a lot of help, so it has just been real good."
Battle has grown noticeably since July when he first was seen on the circuit, and he says the doctors think that he will get even taller.
"They can't predict my height because I am off the chart but I am just blessed to be this tall with my mom and dad being average height," Battle said.
As would be no surprise, several schools have already stepped up and offered Battle a scholarship.
"I have seven scholarship offers, Syracuse, Rhode Island, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Miami, SMU, and Vanderbilt," said Battle.
So far Battle says the recruiting experience has been a great one.
"It is a great experience," said Battle. "Getting a chance to see the coaches seeing me play is just great. It is just crazy. It has all happened so fast and I am just getting used to it."
For now Battle isn't letting any recruiting attention get to his head, and he knows he must get better in order to remain one of the top players in his class.
"I know I have to work on everything, but mainly I am working on my ball handling and off the ball defense," said Battle. "Also I want to be a better leader on the court."

There's a lull in dealmaking over the natural gas-rich Marcellus shale.
The Associated Press reports that Marcellus merger and acquisition activity "fell to zero in the third quarter of 2012, after major energy companies spent tens of billions of dollars over the last three years," according to a quarterly report by PricewaterhouseCoopers. In the previous quarter, the deals totaled $1.6 billion.
"PwC said low natural gas prices were the main factor, not the output or potential of the vast shale gas formation that lies under parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New York, Ohio and Maryland," according to the AP."The problem ultimately for the Marcellus is gas prices," Rick Roberge, a principal in PwC's energy practice, tells the AP. "The Marcellus is the biggest shale play in the U.S. It's got a great future. But it's got one big headwind."That headwind, the AP notes, is the Marcellus production of mostly conventional dry gas — a market that's now glutted.According to PwC, there have been about $32 billion in Marcellus merger and acquisition deals since the beginning of 2010. The third quarter of this year was the first in that period with no deals at all.
It's pretty well documented that Robert Murray, CEO of Pepper Pike-based coal mining giant Murray Energy Corp., is no fan of President Barack Obama.But Mr. Murray, 73, really cuts loose in this piece in The Irish Times looking at the role environmental issues are playing in the presidential election."I don't really understand who this Barack Obama is. All he is to me is the greatest destroyer of jobs that I know," Mr. Murray tells the newspaper.If that's too nuanced for you, he elaborates as follows about the president:"I know the names of my coal miners, all 3,500 of them. I founded this company from a mortgaged home, and it now produces 62% of Ohio's coal. But if these mines close, these men lose their homes, their honor, their dignity, everything. … He's evil. It's hard to know where the incompetence ends and the evil begins."The source of Mr. Murray's ire is new Environmental Protection Agency regulations that put new limits on emissions of toxins from coal-fired plants, which agency officials say will save thousands of lives and reduce respiratory problems such as asthma.Mr. Murray's preferred candidate, Mitt Romney, has pledged to dismantle the new environment regulations.But Mr. Romney wasn't always so friendly to coal.The story notes that in 2003, as governor of Massachusetts, Mr. Romney stood outside a coal-burning plant in the state and announced to reporters and camera crews, ""I will not create jobs or hold jobs that kill people, and that plant, that plant kills people."Mr. Romney now "agrees with the coal industry which says that new standards will lead to significantly higher electricity costs and mass layoffs," The Irish Times reports.
Ohio has nearly 10,000 people whose jobs involve improving energy efficiency, and their work generates $2.1 billion in annual sales, The Columbus Dispatch reports, based on a study being released today by a trade group called Advanced Energy Economy.The study coincides with a conference the trade group is hosting in Columbus.The Dispatch notes that Northeast Ohio "is home to about 50% of the jobs and annual revenue in the report, largely because of the strong presence of manufacturers in the region." Central Ohio accounts for nearly 20% of the total, both in jobs and revenue.The trade group's report covers jobs in 13 sectors, including those related to high-efficiency boilers, cooling systems for data centers and lighting systems, the newspaper says."For some perspective, the nearly 10,000 energy-efficiency jobs in Ohio represent a fraction of 1 percent of the state's 5.2 million nonfarm jobs, but account for a sector similar in size to the mining and logging industries, which employ 11,500, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics figures," The Dispatch adds.
The questionable taste award for the week goes to this piece, from Forbes.com.The teaser for the story: "While the East Coast is battered with Hurricane Sandy, smart investors will be looking at these 10 companies that are likely to see a boost in their business thanks to the storm."

Makes a good pet, as they are intelligent, curious, and as I have earlier stated, a pack animal, and therefore easily suited to life with a family of many people, or fewer.

FDA food safety and other tips for hurricane preparedness
When in doubt, toss it out. That's the advice of food safety experts at the Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture.
They offer the following tips on what to do if storms cause your home to lose power or bring water or flooding to your door. A full list is available here.
If the power goes out:
Group food together in the freezer — this helps the food stay cold longer.
Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain the cold temperature.
A refrigerator will keep food safely cold for about four hours if it is unopened. A full freezer will hold the temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full) and the door remains closed.
Discard refrigerated perishable food such as meat, poultry, fish, soft cheeses, milk, eggs, leftovers and deli items after four hours without power.
Never taste food to determine its safety.
Buy dry or block ice to keep your refrigerator and freezer as cold as possible if the power is going to be out for a prolonged period of time. Fifty pounds of dry ice should hold an 18-cubic-foot full freezer for two days.
When the power comes back on:
If the power has been out for several days, check the temperature of the freezer with an appliance thermometer. If the appliance thermometer reads 40 degrees F or below, the food is safe to refreeze.
If a thermometer has not been kept in the freezer, check each package of food to determine its safety. If the food still contains ice crystals, the food is safe.
If food got wet:
Don't eat it. There are two things to worry about here, floodwater and rainwater. Floodwater is especially dangerous because it can contain sewer overflow, which can carry serious diseases.
Discard any food that is not in a waterproof container if there is any chance that it has come into contact with floodwater. Similarly, discard wooden cutting boards, plastic utensils, baby bottle nipples and pacifiers.
Thoroughly wash all metal pans, ceramic dishes and utensils that came in contact with floodwater with hot soapy water and sanitize by boiling them in clean water or by immersing them for 15 minutes in a solution of one tablespoon of unscented, liquid chlorine bleach per gallon of drinking water.
Undamaged, commercially prepared foods in all-metal cans and shelf-stable juice or seafood pouches must be washed and sanitized. Remove labels that can habor bacteria.
But storms also bring rain, and rain can carry contamination. Rain that has fallen on roofs and then gets inside can be contaminated with bird feces or other materials and can be dangerous to consume.
Even rainwater that has fallen straight from the sky can be a problem because, in storms, water can have blown around and through houses, trees and other objects, bringing with it any contamination present on those surfaces.
Any food that came into contact with flood or rain water should be thrown out. That includes foods packed in plastic, paper, cardboard, cloth and similar containers that got water-damaged. The same applies to all food and beverage containers with screw-caps, snap lids, crimped caps (soda bottles), twist caps, flip tops and home canned foods. It's impossible to disinfect them, so they're not safe to eat.
Your local health department should get the word out quickly if your local tap water is safe to drink as soon as the storm has passed. If it can't, use bottled water.
If you don't have bottled water, boiling water will kill most types of disease-causing organisms that may be present. If the water is cloudy, filter it through clean cloths or allow it to settle and draw off the clear water for boiling. Boil the water for one minute, let it cool and store it in clean containers with covers.
If you can, put your medications in a sealed plastic bag and then inside a water-tight container to make sure they stay safe and dry before the storm hits.
If they get wet, you shouldn't use them. But if you have important, lifesaving drugs that you can't replace right away, and if the container is contaminated but the pills are still dry, it's OK to use them until you can get replacements. But if the pills are wet, they are contaminated and should be discarded.
Other items in a medicine cabinet that has become water-damaged, such as oral liquids, drugs for injections, inhalers and skin medications, should be discarded.
For diabetics who take insulin, it should stay refrigerated because insulin loses potency if it gets warm. However, under emergency conditions, you could still use insulin that has been stored above 86 degrees. But understand that such extreme temperatures may cause insulin to lose potency, which could result in loss of blood glucose control over time. Try to keep insulin as cool as possible, but if you are using ice avoid freezing it. When properly stored insulin becomes available, discard and replace the insulin vials that have been exposed to these extreme conditions.
If you're ordered to evacuate, take your pets with you if possible. Either put them in a carrier or on a leash so they don't get away. Remember that emergencies can make pets display unexpected or uncharacteristic behaviors. It may take several weeks before your pet's behavior is back to normal.
If you have to evacuate, bring along familiar toys to help them get used to new surroundings. For everyone's safety, you may also wish to bring a muzzle if your pet doesn't react well in stressful situations.
Do not stay behind with your pet if state or local officials order you to evacuate. Some evacuation shelters also have emergency pet shelters. If possible, bring with you a clear and current photo of your pet, as well as name, species and breed, sex, color, distinctive markings, age, microchip identification number, vaccination records, health conditions and required medication.

Charges Reduced For UF Basketballers
May 9th, 2011 12:12 PM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Florida
Tags: Ditto Adel, Joshua Adel, South Dakota, State Attorney
Two Florida basketball players and one manager got good news today as the legal charges against them were lessened and — in one case — dropped.
Erik Murphy, Cody Larson and manager Joshua Adel were arrested on third-degree felony charges after allegedly attempting to break into a car outside a St. Augustine bar last month.
This morning, the State Attorney's office announced that the charges against Murphy and Larson have been reduced to second-degree misdemeanor criminal trespass charges.
"They have paid restitution to the victims to get a headlight fixed," a spokesperson for the State Attorney said. "The charges reflect that they tried to go into another person's car without permission."
"When we were talking to the victim of the crime and looking at the facts of the case, it wasn't a very sophisticated crime. They were at a bar, they had been drinking and they kind of did an impulsive act."
The charges against Adel have been dismissed altogether.
"He was charged as being the lookout when the evidence showed that wasn't the case," the spokesperson said. "He was, in fact, discouraging them."
No court date has been set for Murphy and Larson to enter pleas. Larson's plea could have an impact on a deal he cut with prosecutors in his home state of South Dakota prior to his arrival in Gainesville.
Both Murphy and Larson are currently suspended from the Gator team. Ditto Adel.

your skin exhibiting the classic signs of ceramide
depletion: scales, sensitivity, and dryness beyond
reason? When skin feels this thirsty, give it a
drink of Ceramide Milk.
Particularly parched skin can't be satisfied
with hydration alone—ceramide therapy is a
must. Found naturally in healthy skin, ceramide
is a lipid that holds cells together by creating
a moisture barrier that restores softness to skin's
surface. This smooth, firm shield also helps protect
skin from the elements, locking critical moisture
in and skin-degrading impurities out.
DHC Ceramide Milk is a super- hydrating, texture-restoring
taskmaster that reconstructs skin's moisture
barrier with 100% botanical ceramide and delivers
a deluge of moisture-rich botanicals, including
DHC's extra virgin olive oil, squalane, and
quince extract.
Wear Ceramide Milk under makeup without the worry
of being weighed down—even with all these intensive
moisturizing ingredients, it remains light enough to use
as your daytime moisturizer.

Overall Experience:
Spencerian college of louisville is an awesome school that not only educates you about your feild but is hands on. My first college attempt was the worst experience. But here at Spencerian its not just a school. Your building a foundation towards you career, gaining new friends that are like family. Everyone is always positive, willing to help how ever they can. What make my school unique is that its built around what field your studying, for example I'm studying to be a Medical/clinical Assitant. All my classes pertain to that. The classes are small so that you can focus more and understand things since you'll be working on patients. This School is so amazing that you get to do clinicals and actually work in a setting that your studing for.
The people that work at my school is the best thins about it. Everyone is willing to help no matter what.
Career Services:
My school offer a great career service program that helps you prepare for a job interview. They are good about helping you find a job when you graduate.
Student Body:
I love my classmate!! Without them I don't think I would it made it far. Everyone is very friendly and nice.
Academic Flexibility:
I have no frustration with my class. The school is quick about posting the new schedule online. The school is very organized.
Academic Experience:
My school has lots of programs to offer that work with any work schedule.
Academic Experience:
The teacher give me enough time to prepare my self with homework or school projects.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Tuition is a litle expensive but it's worth the money for the kind of attention and teaching I am receiving
Campus Resources:
The campus is small enough for me to get around without getting lost.
Campus Resources:
It's the best!! We have lost of computer that are updated every year with top technology.
Overall Experience:
I am having a blast at my current school. Everything about it is great!!!
Online Courses:
I am currently attending Spencerian College and I think is the best school in Louisville! The teachers are very nice and helpful!!! I am enjoying my self at this school. I would recommend anyone to this school.
Online Courses:
I don't take online classes, however I've heard that the online courses that are offered are amazing.
Everyone is very friendly. Class sizes are somewhat small which is an awesome advantage to students that attend. It is very major focused.
Academic Experience:
The PN program is pretty unorganized, the instructors have different expectations for the same work. The classes should be reviewed as far as lenght/credit hours and appropriateness for the job.
Student Body:
The nursing program is fairly diverse as far as ethnicity and backgrounds. most of the students are female but that is pretty much normal.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
the tuition is very high compared to the local community college but in line with other private schools. That doesn't mean that it isn't expensive or over priced. The nursing program is o.k. it would seem that the administration is more concerned with what a person is wearing rather than if they are learning what they need.
Online Courses:
I haven't took any of there online courses but from there website when you need them, they Respond very quickly and promptly to Any questions that you have
Academic Flexibility:
The main reason why I chose this school was because of how flexible the class schedules were and also because I can remain being a full-time employee at my job as well. I'm very happy about that, I don't want to struggle with my bills while being in school full time to Finish my nursing degree.. Very happy
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I Truly think that the education that I am paying for is well worth the money, for me to become a RN, it's worth it!! Just make sure that you have all your papers filled out and your financial aid done as soon as Possible, so you can get the most money Available to you.
Student Body:
My school is great! Most of the faculty there is going to school themselves so it makes it easier when the faculty can keep up with todays knowledge as well as teach it.
Campus Resources:
Spencerian is a small private school so there are no sports or many student activities. They are a very straight to the point campus. Even though I like the straight to the point, I do wish there were a few more activities or organizations. The library is great, but it is a little small. I love books and reading and there isn't a very wide selection.
Overall Experience:
If I could go back a year ago, I would have chosen Spencerian over my first college of choice. I was attending a huge university that had a lot of distractions and the teachers were very distant from the students. Spencerian is a whole different ball park though. The classes are small and quiet, the campus is small and resourceful, and the teachers care about the students and their performance in class. I feel like I wasted a lot of money and time before I decided to go to Spencerian, but now I feel like I will accomplish anything.
Student Body:
Everyone who attends Spencerian have great personalities. The students are considerate and all of the upper class students have been very helpful with preparing the new students for the classes and professors ahead.
Career Services:
Spencerian Has a Great Student Service Center – Afyer i graduate i dont think that i will have problems in finding me a job because spencerian student service center helps students find and get the job in their field before the graduate. only thing that they have to do is fill out a resume.

Six years ago my husband and I moved into the Marshalltown community. In that six years we have met and become friends with many wonderful people. It is with sadness that, in our time of politics, an individual or individuals are going through our neighborhoods at night, trespassing on private property and removing political signs that do not belong to them.
We live in the greatest country in the world with the freedom to express our beliefs. I understand we cannot and never will all agree on our political views, however, stealing the signs is wrong. I would hope the citizens of our community would be very disgusted by this behavior and denounce it now.

In recent years, mortgage underwriting requirements have become stricter, and the days of closing real estate deals with high leverage, low to no down payment, minimal documentation, and easy approvals are over. Faced by new regulatory requirements and an overall aversion to risk, many financial institutions have pulled in the lending reins by tightening credit standards, often requiring in-depth proof of income and assets, better credit scores, and higher down payment amounts (up front equity invested in the property) than before the financial crisis.
The good news is that lenders are looking for qualified borrowers, and there are signs that frozen credit markets are beginning to thaw. A recent Federal Reserve survey found that 6.1% of respondents said their bank's credit standards had "eased somewhat" or "eased considerably."1 Understanding the best way to navigate the mortgage process' "new normal" can help increase your chances of getting the loan you need at the best possible rate.
Check your credit. Your credit history and scores are important factors on which your lender will base its approval of your loan as well as your interest rate. Credit scores, including the sector-leading FICO score, are based on a number of factors including the length of your credit history, payment record, total credit, and the number of recent inquiries for credit. The February 2013 Ellie Mae Origination Insight Report, which includes data on mortgage trends, found that the average FICO score of loans closed in February 2013 was 745.2 However, it's possible for borrowers with lower credit scores to be approved, depending on assets (also referred to and viewed as "reserves"), debt ratio (used to measure "capacity" to repay), and on the loan-to-value ratio of the home and among other factors.
The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) entitles U.S. citizens to receive one free credit report per year via www.annualcreditreport.com or by calling 877 322-8228. This report will not include your credit score, but will include information about how to purchase your credit score from one of the top three reporting agencies — Equifax, Experian or Trans Union. It's a good idea to get copies of your report and score from all three bureaus and check for errors or expired information. A recent Federal Trade Commission study found that one in four consumers had errors on their credit reports.3 Negative misinformation can drive down your credit score, which may affect your interest rate or cause you to be denied for the loan altogether.
Reduce your debt. In addition to credit scores, borrowers look at the amount of debt you carry, including credit card, automobile loan, student loan, and other outstanding balances. High debt-to-income ratios can reduce the mortgage amount for which you qualify or could cause your application to be denied. As a general rule, your monthly housing cost, which includes your mortgage principal and interest, property taxes, hazard insurance premiums, and private mortgage insurance premiums (if applicable), should not exceed 28% of your gross monthly income. Add in total monthly payments on items such as car loans, credit cards and other debts and the total typically shouldn't be more than 35% of your gross monthly income. Although these are general guidelines to consider, higher ratios may be available, but at potentially less favorable terms for interest rates and fees.
Meet with a loan officer or advisor. It's never too early in the process to meet with an experienced, reputable loan advisor to help you evaluate your situation. Your advisor can inform you of the various loan programs and products available, including conventional mortgages, government-backed mortgages, jumbo mortgages, and other lending products. Interest rates, down-payment requirements and other loan terms may vary significantly from program to program. For example, a Federal Housing Administration (FHA)-backed loan may require as little as 3.5% of the purchase price as a down payment while a conventional mortgage might require 20% or more. If your credit score and debt ratios are within the bank's target ranges, your advisor might be able to give you same-day conditional loan approval.
Prepare your paperwork. A conditional approval is just that — a preliminary green light that will be honored as long as other conditions are met. The next phase of the process begins. You'll be asked to fill out a complete application and provide documentation of income, assets, and expenses, including pay stubs, bank statements, and two years of tax returns. The lender will likely require you to fill out Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 4506-T , which allows the lender to receive a transcript of your tax return from the IRS. Be sure to keep copies of all paperwork just in case the lender needs anything resubmitted.
Understand interest rates. Your loan representative will explain the interest rates for which you qualify. Fixed interest rate loans "lock in" at a specific rate, so they won't change as long as the loan closes as planned. Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) may change from year to year, although they may have a fixed-rate period for a period of time, such as three or five years, at the start of the loan. While the interest rate the bank offers you may be slightly more than advertised rates depending on your credit score, debt, and loan-to-value ratio, beware of lenders who offer very low introductory rates and then try to sell you a loan at a much higher rate. Even a few tenths of a percentage point difference can mean many thousands of dollars over the life of a 30-year loan. In some cases, it might make sense to pre-pay some of the interest — often called "paying points" — to reduce your monthly payments. TIAA-CREF, through its banking subsidiary TIAA Direct, has some useful calculators that can help you compare current loan products and understand the interest you might pay over time.
Familiarize yourself with fees. By law, your loan representative must provide you with a good-faith estimate that summarizes any fees and costs associated with your loan, as well as the terms and interest rate. Review the fees and don't be afraid to question them. The Federal Reserve published an excellent overview of fees that might be expected, as well as typical ranges.
Know what you can afford. Remember that every home comes with hidden costs. In addition to the down payment, closing costs, principal, interest, hazard insurance, and property taxes, you may have homeowner's association fees, utilities, private mortgage insurance (for loans that exceed 80% of the home's value), and improvements or unexpected repairs. It's important to not underestimate the total expense of purchasing and running your home, or you could soon find yourself racking up debt.
Be patient. While your conditional approval may be done in a flash, today's loan underwriting process can take as long as 60 days or more, depending on the circumstances. You may be asked to provide additional documentation or resubmit paperwork. Keep in touch with your loan advisor, who should be able to answer any questions you have about the process. On the closing date, when the loan agreement is signed, be sure to double-check the paperwork, fee schedule, interest rate, principal and other terms to be sure there are no errors.
If your loan or refinance is denied, don't be discouraged. Often, your loan advisor can tell you specifically why and help you develop a plan to address the issues. Perhaps you need to pay down additional debt or save more of a down payment. Create a plan to address the issues and, when you've done so, apply again.

I have been on a late night baking kick. It seems like the perfect time to get into the kitchen and make some magic. Oh, who am I kidding? I have no other time to do it. But I still like it!
And these muffins. I love them. I mean really love them. I wanted spicy and chocolate-like, not to mention I was slightly motivated by the very ripe bananas sitting on my counter. They needed to be made into something or into the freezer they would go.
Now, let's get back to the spicy. Have you had chili and chocolate? You're missing out if you haven't. I used chili powder and cayenne to create the heat and flavor I wanted. The spicy taste lingers and heats up. It's perfect. You could even add a cream cheese frosting if you wanted to be fancy, but the muffins don't really need it. They're moist and sweet and spicy. They could easily be dessert.
Spicy Double Chocolate Banana Muffins
Makes 23 muffins.
3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1-3/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
4 very ripe bananas
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 F. In a large bowl, add flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, chili powder and cayenne. Sift together to combine. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add sugar, eggs, bananas and buttermilk. Blend until thoroughly combined. Add flour mixture alternating with buttermilk and ending with flour. Mix just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Add 1/4 cup batter to each muffin liner and bake for 25 minutes or until done.
Cool for five minutes in the pan and remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Valpo's Vavra Earns Horizon League Player of the Week Honors
Monday, February 27, 2012
Valparaiso University infielder Tanner Vavra (Menomonie, Wis./Menomonie H.S.) has been named the Horizon League's Batter of the Week after hitting .583 in the three-game weekend series against #4 Arkansas.
In Sunday's 10-inning, 10-9 upset victory over the Razorbacks, the junior college transfer went 3-for-5 at the plate with a double and scored three times. He also drove home a run.
Vavra went 3-for-4 in Saturday's 4-3 loss, and also had a hit in the series opener on Friday. He drew a walk and was hit by two pitches on his way to posting a .667 on base percentage over the weekend. Playing both second base and shortstop, he was flawless in the field.
On the season Vavra is second in the Horizon League batting .423 (11-for-26) with four runs batted in. He has hit safely in five of the six games this year, including three three-hit contests.
Valparaiso (3-3) will return to the diamond on Saturday afternoon as the Crusaders face Gardner-Webb. First pitch in Boiling Springs, N.C. is set for 1 p.m. CST.

When I look back on my childhood, I have to believe my parents did a pretty good job. After all, my sister and I both turned out to be pretty decent grownups. Now that I'm a parent of my own, however, I'm starting to see some of the ways that they might have done better, some of the ways that they let me down a little bit.
As Mother's Day approaches, and I think about the things I appreciate about my mom (and my dad), I can't help but think of the following things that I wish my parents had done for me when I was growing up.
1) Let me watch television as much as I wanted. When I was growing up, we weren't allowed to turn on the television during the week until 4:00 pm. And that was only if we had all our homework done. After supper, we had to clear the table and wash the dishes, finish homework and practice piano before we could watch one show before bedtime. Saturday morning cartoons were always cut short because the television had to be turned off at 10:00 am. I'm sure I learned some "valuable life lessons" about following through with responsibilities and working hard for a worthy reward, but I sure missed a lot of really good TV shows.
2) Signed me up for a whole bunch of classes after school and on weekends. We lived on 2 acres and had a huge cornfield beyond that. Much of our free time was spent making up games that involved us being spies entering enemy territory. Every winter we had snow people and snow forts all over the yard. In the summer, I learned how to play most sports in the neighbor's yard with all the neighborhood kids. If my parents had only signed me up for more after school classes, I might have discovered a latent talent for ballet dancing or competitive chess. Now I find myself curious just how many undiscovered talents have been lying dormant all these years.
3) Let me eat what I wanted, when I wanted. My mom had a reputation in the neighborhood for being a mom who made her kids eat vegetables, and not just the ones that everyone likes. We had a vegetable garden in the back yard. Not only did that require hours and hours of my blood, sweat and tears to keep weed-free (see item #5), it contained some of the worst-tasting vegetables imaginable. We had to eat everything on our plates so that we could have one little cookie or candy after supper. Now, of course, I find that I have a palate for all kind of dishes and even those once-despised vegetables. But variety is not necessarily the spice of life, and surely my life would be easier and much more simple if there were only a few dishes and vegetables I was willing to eat.
4) Bought me the latest trends and fashions. I have to admit that I grew up thinking we were pretty poor. We never bought anything that wasn't on clearance. I think that I could have told you the price of everything in my closet, since finding a good bargain was greatly to be praised. I was always advised not to buy things that were sure to go out of style after a single season. Everything I owned was something that would serve me well for years to come. Now that I am more aware of economic theory, I'm aware that we are a capitalist society built on consumerism. My parents would have done well for the economy if only they had bought us more things that were on trend and at full price. Now I find myself even as an adult unable to purchase something that isn't a bargain and that won't last for more than a single season. With this mentality, how can I do my part to contribute to our country's economic growth?
5) Given me a bigger allowance and fewer chores. By now, you have probably picked up on the fact that my parents gave us plenty to do. Weeding and harvesting the vegetable garden, cleaning two rooms plus our bedrooms every week, washing the dinner dishes and clearing the table were our contribution to the household. Our reward for all this work was $1.50 a week allowance (in today's economy that would equal $2 a week). Shouldn't I have been taught money management by being given a higher allowance? And wasn't my childhood robbed from me by the slave labor to which I was subjected? Yes, I have reaped the benefits by learning the value of a job well done and by turning into a domestic goddess. But, I ask you, at what cost?
You would think that looking back with so much regret that I would be raising my own children in a way that is diametrically opposed to the way I my own parents raised me. Instead, I have come to see the benefits of a life of "deprivation," "limitation" and "restraint."
Now I am doomed to follow in my parents' footsteps, in the hopes that my children will some day follow in mine.

Monday-Sunday 7:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Central San Antonio
The food was amazing. I think lunch coast me under 5 bucks
Best tacos – I had the Norteno taco today. It was awesome. Its a big tortilla with beef fajita and beans and cheese. WOW. The place isnt very big and you might have to wait in line but it was well worth it.
Awesome – Thetacos are huge and so good. I had a fantastic breakfast and it was only $5. 00. You cannot beat this place. There was a wait but it was worth it!!!!!
Horrible Treatment By Management and Staff – Wow! I have never been treated by anyone like I was treated there today. We were asked to wait outside, so I did with my ten month old baby. Other people walking in were allowed to stand inside and were seated. So naturally, I open the door to walk inside and a server puts her hand in front of my chest and pushes me outside- yes, while I was holding my baby! The manager said that she was too busy to deal with me. I am still in shock.
HORRIBLE FOOD AND SERVICE! – When we walked in the place was disgustingly dingy. We were in from out of town and I was hesistant to sit down but was starving. Waitress was cold and unfriendly. We placed our orders and the food came out and was luke warm. We ordered deluxe nachos and I don't know what was deluxe about them as they barely had any cheese and maybe 4 pieces of fajitas and more beans than anything. We asked for more cheese and the waitress took out plate without saying a word she was soooo rude! On top of that my friend ordered just nachos with cheese and beans for her son and they didn't even bring it out! We were all finished and the poor 4 year old was eating from siblings plate and when we finally say we don't want the order since they forgot about because we were pressed for time they bring them anyway and say we already made them and try to charge for it. R U KIDDING ME!! I have no idea what the magazines where thinking just walking in the place it looks gross! The food is not even authentic it's luke warm and the eggs are runny !
Just ok... – My boyfriend and I picked up tacos togo from this place and we were a little disappointed. We had heard so many good things and the tacos were just mediocre. The bacon in my taco was almost non existent. We wont be back. There are so many other places in the area that have better food.
Too small and a waste of time...disappointed – Those white folks from that food magazine don't know good mexican food. Go to The Original Donut House on Fredricksburg Road. The tortillas are much better and the salsa is off tha chain! Take cash ya'll because they're old school and dont take credit cards. There was a fine asss waitress with curly hair at Taco Taco. She can help me out anytime!
Big disappointment – After hearing about this restaurant from friends, we drove there and waited at least thirty minutes for a table. We were told to anticipate the wait, so it was not a big problem. Once we sat down, it took over ten minutes to get a menu. After ordering, it took twenty minutes for half of us to get our food and another twenty for the rest of the group to get their food.
The food -- the tortillas were soggy, and the filling was bordering on tasteless. We asked for some Tabasco sauce, and our waitress acted as if we were crazy. All she brought was more salsa. In addition to the tortillas, our refried beans were gummy -- worse than anything out of a can.
We will definitely not return to this restaurant.
call from out of state to get a menu faxed for a party of 25 management said on numerous occassion they would fax it and never did. bad management
Not worth the drive – After hearing about Taco Taco Cafe on the Food Network, we had to take a drive from the Stone Oak area to visit this local eatery. After waiting for 30 minutes in the heat and being rudely ushered to our seats, I found a sugar packet wrapper in my coffee and flies were everywhere you looked. We found the salsa to be grossly under seasoned and the Taco Norteno to be nothing more than an extra large fajita taco. This small cafe could use a huge renovation/expansion as well as a visit from the health inspector. The tortillas would be my only noteworthy observation at Taco Taco, but if I?m going to make that far of a drive it will be to Lisa?s Mexican Restaurant on Bandera which serves far better food in a nice clean environment.
