Maybe elegant evening gowns. Lots of shiny, sparkly decorations. Music. Dancing. Party horns. Big crowds of people. Fancy food.
When I think of the words New Year's Eve, only one of those things comes to mind and even that is only vaguely similar. Food. Food without the fancy. I also think of pajamas and a fire in the woodburning stove. I think of movies, blankets, and cocoa. On New Year's Eve, we are homebodies. However, my husband and I don't want our kids to grow up with memories of New Year's Eve being just another night at home. It is a time of celebration, the end of another year of memories made and the anticipation of a new year of growth. And while being at home together in a laid back atmosphere wearing pjs is how we most enjoy celebrating, we still make it fun and memorable for our kids.
If your family celebrates the way mine does, it doesn't mean you have to miss out on all extras that those who spend the evening out get to enjoy. You may not need an elegant evening gown but you can buy or make new pajamas for everyone. You can still decorate and listen to music and dance. While there might not be a big crowd of people in your living room celebrating with you, you can still fix a variety of party foods.
Our home and our lifestyle in general are what most people describe as rustic and this carries over into our New Year's Eve celebration. Since we like to snuggle up under blankets and watch movies, I decided to make a few new blankets this year. I used a variety of muslin and flannel materials to create a patchwork design for the front. To keep it as simple as possible, I skipped the batting and quilting and, instead, lined them with fleece. I wanted to keep things simple but still wanted the blankets to have a fun flair to them so I added a monogram applique to the center block. You can whip one of these up in a couple of hours using the instructions below.
1. Using the Fiskars 45 mm Comfort Grip Rotary Cutter, the 3.5 Inch x 18 Inch Acrylic Ruler, and the18 Inch x 24 inch Cutting Mat, cut five 15 inch squares from 2 different muslin fabrics, four 15 inch squares from cream-colored flannel, and one 15 inch square from a patterned fabric.
2. Print off a monogram letter or shape of choice and trace it onto the paper layer of a square of lightweight fusible web. Fusible web is transparent so simply lay it on top of your monogram print out, paper side up, and trace away. If using a letter, remember to flip the letter before printing it out or you will end up with a backwards letter after adhering the fusible web and cutting it out.
Following the instructions provided with it, iron the square of lightweight fusible web to the back side of a square of fabric.
Cut the shape out, peel the paper backing, and iron the patterned fabric square that is to be the center of your blanket.
Machine or hand stitch around the applique. I used a blanket stitch around mine.
3. Using a 1/2 inch seam allowance, stitch the squares together in rows of 3 squares (ironing the seam allowances open as you complete a row) and then stitch the rows together. Iron all seam allowances open.
4. Lay a 2 yard length of 45 inch wide fleece face up on the floor. Lay the pieced blanket on top of the fleece, right side down. Pin around the edges. Stitch the layers together using a 1/2 inch seam allowance, leaving a 10 inch opening for turning the blanket right side out.
Because you are using fleece and the layers will be thick, it is a good idea to use a walking foot on your machine for this step. When sewing thick layers together, the layers tend to shift leaving you with unmatched edges as you reach the end of your seam. A walking foot pulls the top layer of fabric through as the feed dogs pull the bottom layer through and this prevents the layers from shifting.
5. After making sure all pins have been removed, clip the corners to reduce the bulk and turn the blanket right side out. Stitch the opening closed. Press around the edges of the blanket. Top stitch 1/4 inch around the perimeter of the blanket.
We drink a lot of cocoa on New Year's Eve. I fill a pump dispenser with it and leave the dispenser out for everyone to refill as needed. Setting up a Cocoa Station makes drinking cocoa even more fun. I skewer marshmallows with plastic spoons, coat the mashmallows with melted chocolate, and then dip them in sprinkles and crushed candy cane. I store the spoons in a glass jar so everything right there, quick and easy for everyone. Tying a scrap of fabric from the blankets around the jar and adding tag made using a stamped snowflake from the Winter Wishes Repositionable Rubber Stamp set framed by a punch using the Seal of Approval Extra Large Squeeze Punch helps coordinate the cocoa station with the blankets.
I made personalized mugs using "Scrapbook" mugs. The base of the mug is removable allowing you to slip papers and photos between the clear walls of the mug. I created simple monograms by printing them out (in reverse) on book paper and cutting them out with the Fiskars Retractable Fingertip Knife. I trimmed them with papers from Graphic 45 punched with the Limited Edition Fiskars Flaking Out Border Punch.
While I do let our kids enjoy sweet treats over the holidays, I try to serve healthier snacks when possible. During movie time, rather than give them popcorn and a bowl of candy, I decided this year to mix up a healthier trail mix. It will be set out on the snack table in a glass jar embellished with a pennant banner I made using freehand cut shapes, a punched shape using the Seal of Approval punch, and the Happy New Years stamp from the Holiday Hooplah Repositionable Stamp Set. These were attached to a length of twine by machine stitching.
To help them keep a handle on all of their treats as they sit on the couch, I've decided to serve the trail mix in mason jars and the popcorn in paper cones that can sit nestled inside the jar.
A pattern for the cones can be easily created using white paper and a Fiskars compass. Using 1/4 of a 12-inch circle as the pattern, trace this onto your paper of choice. Along one edge, extend outward to create a tab. This tab should be cut at an angle at the tip of the cone. Cut the shape out, roll it into a cone overlapping the edge onto the tab, and staple the edges together.
I made a coordinating cozy for my cocoa dispenser.
1. Measure the circumference of your dispenser at the top and bottom. Add 2 inches to both numbers to allow the ends to overlap. Then add 1/2 inch to each side for seam allowances. Measure the height and add 1/2 inch to the top and bottom for seam allowances.
2. Cut 2 layers of fabric to these dimensions. If the top of your dispenser is smaller than the bottom (20 inches by 22 inches in my case), make sure to center the shorter edge so you end up with your fabric cut to the proper shape. In my case I cut a 22 inch rectangle (the longest edge), and measured in 1 inch from each side on the top edge. I arrived at this by taking 22 inches (bottom edge) - 20 inches (top edge) = 2 inches. This 2 inches has to be shared by both sides so 2 inches divided by 2= 1 inch. This is how far I measured in from each side at the top.
3. Find a snowflake pattern you like and create an applique following the steps for the monogram on the blanket and adhere it to the front panel.
4. Place the lining fabric face up, the front panel face down on top of the lining, and a piece of quilt batting on top of this. Pin the layers together and stitch them together with a 1/2 inch seam allowance leaving a small opening for turning. Clip the corners. Hand stitch this opening closed after turning the cozy right side out. Top stitch 1/4 inch from the edge of the cozy.
To continue with my rustic theme, I will be serving blueberry muffins baked in parchment paper liners. I love how these liners brown in the oven. The liners are simple to make. Using a Fiskars trimmer, cut 6 inch squares and fold them to fit into the cups of a muffin tin. Fill the liners with batter and bake according to your recipe. Served piled up in a basket, I think the muffins add the perfect finishing touch to our movie snack table.
We may not be out on the town on New Year's Eve, but you can bet we'll still have a memorable night of fun!

It's All About the Community
If you like community gardens, then you'll want to visit the Avant Garden at the corner of First and D streets in Benicia.
The Benicia Community Garden (BCG) signed a lease agreement in the fall of 2010 with Estey Real Estate to establish a downtown community garden. The land is for sale, but until it's sold, it's a community garden.
The mission of Benicia Community Gardens? "To encourage and enable local citizens to establish and care for gardens throughout the city that provide ongoing sources of healthful food, fellowship, beauty and discovery."
According to their website, the Avante garden is called that because "it represents an experiment not only to provide wider opportunity for more people to observe and practice organic urban farming, but also, because BCG will be making private, undeveloped property in the heart of our historic commercial district productively used for growing food."
Residents lease individual plots and grow such foods as tomatoes, peppers, kale and cabbage. Ornamental flowers line the fence. Signs warn guests not to reap the benefits of what other have sown.
We stopped by there last Sunday afternoon and were amazed that despite the colder weather settling in, insects abound. We saw such pollinators as honey bees, a yellow-faced bumble bee, a hover fly, a carpenter bee and a green metallic sweat bee, as well as a pest, the spotted cucumber beetle. Assorted cabbage white butterfles, also pests, fluttered around the cucurbits.
What a treasure! A good place to spend part of a Sunday.

Hovering in the Wind
The 40 mile-per-hour howling wind didn't seem to bother the syrphid fly, aka hover fly and flower fly.
It clung to a blossom on the tower of jewels, Echium wildpretii, and proceeded to nectar. Its wings sparkled in the morning sun.
This is a pollinator and one that's often mistaken for a honey bee.
A honey bee it isn't. It's a fly.

The Girl and the Bubble
Ah, the little intricacies of life...
We were walking along a stretch of the coastal town of Bodega Bay when we spotted something we'd never seen before: a bubble on a syrphid fly.
Syrphid flies, also known as hover flies or flower flies, are pollinators, just like honey bees. As floral visitors, syrphids are often mistaken for bees. They're not. They're flies.
But what was the bubble?
Several of our UC Davis entomologists weighed in.
"Weird, I wonder if that's an egg," said one entomologist. "Looks like the ovipositor is extended."
Said another: "If this were a honey bee, I would suggest that you shot your first defecation photo." (Spoken like the true honey bee expert he is!)
And another: "My guess is that droplet is fly (note: brace yourself--here comes the "p" word) poop, composed mostly of digested pollen grains that the flies commonly feed on. If you look closely at the abdomen of these flies, you often see the gut outlined with yellow or orange through the semi-translucent membrane areas of the abdomen due to the pollen they have ingested."
We asked fly expert and senior insect biosystematist Martin Hauser of the California Department of Food and Agriculture's Plant Pest Diagnostic Branch for an I.D. of this syrphid fly. "A female Sphaerophoria," he said.
And, oh, yes, the bubble is not an egg. It's the "p double oh p" word with pollen inside. Hauser pointed out that the eggs are oval and white, so the yellow bubble is not an egg. Check out this photo of syrphid eggs on the bugguide.net website, Hauser said. And here's a image on bugguidenet.com of the syrphid fly ovipositing.
Mystery solved!
Sounds like a good question for an Entomology 101 quiz...
Or the Linnaean Games...

Why Organic Farmers Love Hover Flies
"If you were an aphid on a head of lettuce, a hoverfly larva would be a nightmare. They are voracious eaters of aphids. One larva per plant will control the aphids."
That's what organic researcher Eric Brennan of the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), U.S. Department of Agriculture, told reporter Jim Robbins in a recently published New York Times article.
Headlined "Farmers Find Organic Arsenal to Wage Wars on Pests," the news story drew attention to why natural enemies are "key to the organic approach."
Brennan is based in Salinas Valley, known as "The Salad Bowl of America." It's reportedly where 80 percent of Americans get their greens.
And it's where the lettuce aphid gets its lettuce.
To help resolve the problem, organic farmers are planting alyssum in their lettuce beds. Hover flies "live in the alyssum and need a source of aphids to feed their young, so they lay their eggs in the lettuce," Robbins wrote. "When they hatch, the larvae start preying on the aphids."
Could be that the "salad days" are over for the aphids--thanks to Brennan, alyssum and hover flies.
Hover Fly
How Grand They Are
Aren't syrphid flies grand?
Syrphid flies, aka hover flies or flower flies (family Syrphidae), are especially grand in a Calandrinia grandiflora, aka rock purslane.
Often mistaken for honey bees, these insects hover over flowers, wings spinning like helicopters, and then dart inside a blossom to feed on pollen and nectar.
We spotted a brightly colored syrphid on a rock purslane in our garden last Sunday. It appeared in no hurry to leave its host.
Is it true that this colorful fly is in the same order (Diptera) as the common housefly? It is.
Hover flies are found everywhere in the world except Antarctica. For a look at some of the species, check out BugGuide.Net. The site contributors are self-described naturalists "who enjoy learning about and sharing our observations of insects, spiders, and other related creatures."
Another great source is entomologist Robert Bugg's 25-page booklet, "Flower Flies (Syrphidae) and Other Biological Control Agents for Aphids in Vegetable Crops," published in May 2008 by the University of California, Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR).

Calhoun County pulls in nearly 5,000 workers from the surrounding area every day while the majority of its own workforce stays put, U.S. Census data shows, indicating economic strength and the potential to attract new industries. Economic experts say that with a strong health care industry, public institutions such as Jacksonville State University, multiple manufacturers and a healthy highway infrastructure, the county is on strong economic footing with the potential to lure in more industry.
According to 2010 Census data, the county's 117,149 population grows by 4.3 percent every workday due to commuting, ranking it fifth among the Alabama counties with the highest daily commuter growth. Meanwhile, of the county's total working population, 83.2 percent stay in the area to work, ranking it among the 10 Alabama counties with highest local workforce retention, the data show. The data have remained consistent, despite a decline in the local manufacturing sector in the past decade and more recent job losses in the defense industry due to the end of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
"We're fortunate that we have a pretty good industrial base where people can commute in ... and good transportation," said Don Hopper, executive director of the Calhoun County Economic Development Council. "It's easy for people to commute in here ... and we have a tremendous workforce."
Located by Interstate 20, the county is at about the midway point between Atlanta and Birmingham, making it a good spot for commerce and industry, Hopper said. The census data show other aspects of the county that could potentially lure in new industry, he said.
"When an industry is looking to locate here, they're not just looking at Calhoun County for the workforce, they are looking at the region," Hopper said. "The prospect of looking at commuting patterns and where we're drawing people from, it makes that decision-making process for them easier."
The data appear to show Calhoun County draws workers from all the surrounding counties, such as Etowah and Talladega counties.
Mark Hearn, professor in the department of management and marketing at Jacksonville State University, called the census data a good sign for the county.
"We're pulling from the surrounding rural areas as an employment center, expanding our labor force," Hearn said. "That meets the need of industry."
Hearn and Hopper said several factors are contributing to the county's economic strength, such as the health care industry, which includes three hospitals, Regional Medical Center, RMC Jacksonville and Stringfellow Memorial Hospital.
"Health care is the fastest growing industry in the U.S.," said Robert Robicheaux, chairman of the department of marketing, industrial distribution and economics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "The aging baby boomer generation is part of that ... but the nation is also providing more health care to more people now."
Hearn and Hopper also said the county still has a broad industrial base, from the Anniston Army Depot to various auto suppliers for the Honda automotive manufacturing plant in Lincoln. The auto industry has recovered considerably since the 2008 recession, with Honda reporting strong sales growth in recent months. JSU is also a large employer in the area, they said.
Robicheaux agreed with Hearn that the data suggest the county is in a good economic position.
"It suggests that the skeleton, the business infrastructure in the county is strong," Robicheaux said. "Employing a large number of people in the county and importing people in the county ... the fact that you have a healthy economy is all attractive to industries."
Robicheaux added that the daily commuters are good for the local economy.
"They are spending money, buying gas, but they don't have kids going to the schools or are using public services," Robicheaux said. "Every dollar they spend is equivalent to a tourist dollar."
Keivan Deravi, economist at Auburn University Montgomery, countered however, saying those commuters are not spending significant amounts of money on things like housing or even restaurants for dinner.
"They spend their money where they live," Deravi said.
Deravi said the census data does appear to show the county was an economic engine for the region.
"What's important is how many people come in to work," he said. "If that number is large, then that means the county is a magnet for jobs."
Still, Deravi was not convinced such statistics alone would be enough to lure in more industry to the county. Deravi said industry looks to see how close a potential location is to transportation, what the quality of the labor force is, the tax rate and the environment.
"They are looking to minimize cost and maximize mark-up," Deravi said. "But everything being equal, they are attracted to interstates, rail services, workers and people."

New F-150, Stadium Super Trucks, and More!
F-150 Facelift
In our August issue we told you about how the Ram 1500 will be essentially all new for the '13 model year. Now Ford has announced the changes in store for the '13 F-150. Some are cosmetic, such as a new grille that incorporates high-intensity discharge (HID) projector headlamps and new designs for the 18- and 20-inch wheels.
Other changes are inside. The center stack on XLT and higher trim levels has been redesigned, as the voice-activated Sync infotainment system is now standard on XLT models and includes a new 4.2-inch touch screen that also displays audio and climate controls. The Lariat (seen here), King Ranch, Platinum, and new-for-'13 Limited models get a version of Sync with MyFord Touch—which adds voice control to more vehicle systems—and an 8-inch touch screen.
Light-Duty Diesel for GM?
So, we have an all-new Ram and a revised F-150 coming soon. What's up with Chevy? GM is still a year away from debuting a new Silverado/Sierra 1500 pickup, but according to a recent Automotive News story those trucks may have a diesel engine option to accompany the Duramax diesel (seen here) in GM's heavy-duty trucks.
Now, GM has been talking about a light-duty diesel engine since at least 2006, but it has a new motivator in Ford's EcoBoost, which can deliver V-8–like power with V-6–like fuel economy. Rather than go head-to-head against EcoBoost with its own turbo gas V-6, GM brass is indicating that the automaker could go diesel to offer half-ton truck buyers an option Ford does not.
Tactical Black
Seeing a trend toward tactical-type off-road vehicles, Yamaha has introduced Tactical Black finishes on special editions of its Grizzly 700 4x4 ATV and Rhino 700 4x4 side-by-sides. Both are assembled at Yamaha's factory in Georgia. The Grizzly sells for $10,000, the Rhino for $12,999.

This Just In
• SEMA released news of a study that shows E15 or E20 gasoline blends (with 15 or 20 percent ethanol, respectively) can damage engines. The Coordinating Research Council (CRC) tested eight vehicle types from the '01-'09 model years representing a variety of popular engines. During the tests, two engine types failed when running on E15 and E20 gas. Ethanol increases water formation, which can then create formic acid and corrode metals, plastics, and rubber, says SEMA, which was against the EPA's approval of the use of E15 in '01 and newer vehicles. SEMA has asked Congress to enact legislation to stop the sale of E15 until further studies can be done.
• Demand is growing for high-buck trucks. According to a recent Automotive News story, dealers bought up the complete allotment of '12 Ram Laramie Limited pickups in just three days. Ford has found that demand for its high-line Platinum F-150 was double what it expected. The luxe Denali versions of GMC's heavy-duty Sierra pickups represent more than a third of Sierra sales this year, up from just 15 percent in 2010. While truck sales have grown as the economy has picked up, the trend toward $40,000-plus trucks is something different. "There are guys in New York, in Florida, in the Midwest, and in the Northwest who aren't exactly into that cowboy, southwestern, barbed-wire feel," said Ram brand president Fred Diaz. A Dallas-area dealer was quoted in the story as saying, "I don't know if you can put enough bells and whistles on trucks."
Earth Watch
• An anti-OHV lawsuit that affects the Eldorado National Forest in Northern California has forced the cancellation of at least one longstanding off-roading event, the Lake Tahoe Hi-Lo's Poker Run, which was scheduled for August. According to the website of the California Association of 4WD Clubs, the forest's Environmental Impact Statement for water crossings must be redone. While the study is being done, no OHV trails will be allowed to cross streams or meadows.
• In more bad news out of California, the California Assembly Budget Subcommittee approved the "Sustainable Parks Proposal" to shift up to $31 million from the OHV trust fund in order to pay for the state parks' budget shortfall. The law provides that the OHV parks shall be equal to other state parks, and that budget impacts should be equally shared, yet the OHV parks have already had millions of dollars taken from them over the last three years. Californians furious about this (and you should be) can visit www.arra-access.com to find a letter you can send to your representatives to urge them to stop taking our funds.

How to Grow a Mango Tree
You can use any mango from the grocery store, but it's a good idea to make sure you use the seed of one you really like as far as taste or whether it's organic or not, and you can buy organic potting soil to keep it organic.
After you slurp up your fresh juicy mango and are left with the inner seed husk covered in mango hairs, wash it really well under running water and either use your nail or something like a brillo pad to scrape off all the fibers so that you are left with a clean husk.
Set the husk aside on a paper towel for 2-3 days until it is completely dry and begins to crack apart and the seam. Now you can pry it apart with your hands or a butter knife (be careful of the seed inside though!), and you will find a seed that looks like the one above.
Let the seed sit for another night or so to dry out the thin brown outer layer, then peel as much as you can off of the seed. Your seed may already have a little tail sprout at the bottom pointy end... this is great!
Plant the seed into a 6 inch pot pointy side down. The round side (right side in the photo) should just poke out of the dirt. Keep the pot in a warm sunny place that can reach about 80º F. It helps to put a plastic bag on top of the pot or prop some plastic wrap over the top to create a mini greenhouse. I definitely don't have an area that gets 80º every day, so I am using the plastic wrap trick and at night I keep the pot next to the heater so the seed won't go dormant.
Water the seed each day but make sure not to over-water it. The soil should be moist. It will take about a month to sprout on the top end of the seed, and once this happens re-plant the seed in a larger pot to get ready for a mango tree!
*I will post some photos once my seed sprouts, I have had it for about 3 weeks. I thought it might have gone dormant a few days ago so I started digging up the seed only to find a huge root growing at the bottom!
**This plant, once started, is a long term investment. It will take 5-7 years for the tree to fruit, and keep in mind that a full size tree is very large. If you want to plant outside you should live in a very warm southern climate, otherwise keep it as a house plant and continue to re-pot the plant as needed while it grows.
P.S. Keep an eye out for a guest post coming soon!

On this first day of November (which happens to be my birthday), I am in a contemplative mood. As I reflect on beauty, the ability to be present and enjoy the abundance in our lives, my thoughts go to artists working in a variety of mediums who provoke and infuse our senses.
Alot of us have heard gardening authorities over the years discuss the importance of exposing ourselves to other art forms: painting, sculpture, movies, music and the written word to inspire us. The majority of gardeners, I believe, are involved in at least one of the following activities: visiting gardens, reading gardening books and magazines, participating in gardening clubs and attending workshops and symposiums.

Parathyroid Gland – Gland Slam!
The parathyroid glands secrete a hormone that tells the body how to divvy up calcium between the bones and the blood. They hang out on the back of the thyroid gland in the neck area, but rumors about a relationship between the two are just that — they're just friends. Can you believe we sell parathyroid lapel pins in the I Heart Guts store?

Austin >Food & Dining > Vespaio
1610 S Congress Ave, Austin, TX | Directions 7870430.247389 -97.750788
Tuesday To Friday From 05:30 PM To 10:30 PM Saturday From 05:00 PM To 10:30 PM Sunday To Monday From 05:30 PM To 10:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Bouldin
Before every other word out of your mouth was "local," Vespaio was doing the grow-its-own-vegetables thing, and way before local cuisine had caught up to South Congress, no less. Austin may be weird, but this is Italian food that proudly resists change: You'll find all the classics here, like Lasagna Bolognese and Pizza Margherita, but they're not just any ol' Italian standby -- they are Platonic ideals of the form.
All hype, not substance – Well, the food was not bad, but not good either. The place is loud, uncomfortable, and populated by a bunch of loud young Westlake rowdies who had to shout at the top of their lungs while their women screamed in approval about how much they made and how cool their cars were and where they vacationed.
Bad enough to make me not return yet.
For the price, I expected better.
Vespaio is a tummy ache waiting to happen – Where to begin? I had heard horror stories about the management and the French owner of this place. My friend talked me into going here because she had always wanted to try it. I gave in.... We arrived around 8:30, the place was hot as hell, I'm thinking they do not invest any of the many dollars they must make back into keeping up the comfort level here.. not a good dining temperature. We sat at the bar where a very colorful character, Tom greeted us. He was very entertaining but seemed a little buzzed himself already. He makes a fine martini for sure. We ordered the tuna tartare which was underwhelming to say the least... there is enough bread here to choke an army with a thimble's worth of tuna to go with it. If this was Uchi grade tuna then I could possible almost see the value but the fish was starting to oxidize and was not pleasant. We ordered the veal saltimbocca and the tagliatelle for entrees.. Blah! The veal was so overdone and tough (hard to accomplish with veal) and slathered in butter that it was inedible.. the pasta, while homemade, was disgustingly overly creamy with no emphasis on subtle nuances.. just a big creamy gut bomb. We were missing Tom at this point, he had disappeared for what I assume was a cigarette break, when he walked behind us to come back behind the bar the odor of nicotine followed him. In the meantime, the manager had taken his place behind the bar and had this condescending, fake b.s. attitude that made our already unhappy stomachs crawl... The kind of guy you expect to find at a used car lot. This was seriously, one of the worst dining experiences I've had in the world and it would have been funny if not for the exorbitant prices these clowns have the audacity to charge for this mess. Avoid.
Save your $ – We had wanted to go to Vespaio for a while because of all the great reviews. When we finally went this week it was an awesome disappointment. The bartender was too busy doing inventory to make any conversation or even get our bread before the food arrived. We were the only one's there at the time. The bread was lousy considering it's made on sight. It was cold, undercooked and bland with a poor crust. The pizza was lousy, undercooked and bland. The lasagna was a pool of bad pasta and lackluster bolognese. The salmon and crab ravioli special was so bland and the "homemade" pasta was terrible. We ended up just having everything packed to go-for our dogs-and grabbing an awesome burger at Hut's. It was a $100 waste.
A taste of Italy – I used City Search to research restaurants for a recent 5 day stay in Austin. I was impressed with the reviews others gave this restaurant. It did not disappoint. Beginning with the bartender who was so friendly and offered suggestions on the wine and the food and the waiter who made us feel we were the most important people in the restaurant. The food was spectacular...the Duck Bolognese was fabulous as was everything else to include the dessert which was a cappuccino flavored mousse that was to die for.
Don't miss this one!!
love it – great menu, great quality, great service! it's a little small and can get loud so i wouldn't recommend if you are trying to have an intimate dinner.
LOVE! – LOVE, LOVE this place. love everything about it really. (oh, except it can get pretty loud - but i won't be stopped!) everything i've eaten here has been delicious. the butternut squash ravioli - YUM, the pizza - great, salad - yes, dessert - give me more! i also love how slow it is. you are not rushed to give up your table for the people waiting. they bring you each dish with a pause between - it gives you time to unwind and relax and TALK! such a great place to go when the kids are home with the sitter!! give me more!!
oh, and we went a little early, put our name on the list, gave them our cell #, walked around the shops and they called us when our table was ready. love it!
Nice place for a date, night out, etc – It's a romatic place with pretty good italian food. Everything has so much butter and that's totally not italian at all though. Service is pretty good, not the most impressive. Quality of food is not consistent. I eat here pretty often and I order pretty much same appitizer/dish and the taste of food changes every time.
it's okay, too moo much hype – This place was so crowded, we bumped elbows with the table next to us. It was my date's favorite italian in town. We made reservations but still waited half an hour. Nice rustic brown interiors, the ambience might have been good if it wasn't so darned busy. Prices were pretty high. The food was really oily and not as tasty- I felt like I was missing some essential italian herbs. I was pretty dissapointed.
Best Italian in Austin – Vespio is the best Italian in Austin--and probably one of the top restaurants in Austin.
Here's the little known secret: The best way to have fun and enjoy Vespio is to sit at the bar, which is much livelier than the restaurant. Tom, the bald bartender with glasses, is among the best mixologists ever. Sit at the bar and let him recommend the food and wine pairings. The tuna tartar is to die for, so that's a must. And Tom will set you up with a nice antipasto plate and maybe a pasta for sharing. Maybe a salad too, and you're full. No need for entrees for each person.
After reading the prior review, I felt obligated to share my opinion. It's so weird that those people thought Enotica is fabulous and Vespio is not. Hello...it's the same owner and chef, except Enotica is a little cheaper / casual and doesn't serve the tuna tartar. They're both great!
Terrible! What gives? – My husband and I were looking for a new restaurant late on Saturday night. We gave up and tried Enoteca because we loved it, but it was closed. So we ventured next door to Vespaio, thinking you can't screw up Italian food. WRONG!
We started with a cocktail as we browsed the impressive menu and wine list. I was excited. it looked great! We ordered a bottle of wine, per our usual routine, and got vinegar! It was terrible! We ordered the flavorless, rubbery calamari and cesar salads (which were pretty good).
We then ordered our meal. The waitress recommended the veal which was tough and salty. It tasted like Luby's chicken fried steak. To be fair, the fried zuccini was crispy and fresh.
My husband's lasagna tasted like chef boyarde... plasticy and sausage-heavy.
The food was over-priced and all we could do is laugh at the experience. At least our hefty bill could count as entertainment. We learned to never go to a place just because it's open... and we will never again go back to Vespaio.
I just can't understand why there are so many great reviews. Either nobody knows anything about food or wine or they are just stacking their own blog.

A gathering place for moms in Upstate South Carolina
A few weeks ago, I noticed my 7yo son was having some urinary issues; dark urine to be specific. I first thought he must be a litle dehydrated so I did my best to increase his liquid intake. Despite that, there was still a problem and eventually I noticed a pinkish-red color. We immediately went to our family doctor who did blood work and a urine culture, which showed "a LOT of blood" according to the nurse. The blood work was all normal, so we spent another 2 weeks hydrating. Another culture on the 3rd of this month, still revealed blood. The next step was referral to a pediatric urologist. Our family doctor didn't think it was kidney related, but possibly ureter or urethra related. I wait a week to hear from the urologist, and finally call our family doctor back. She said it might take several days to hear from them. Okay, that's fine. We actually did hear the next day, but the appointment they gave us isn't until July 12th! I hate waiting like this since I'm so worried about what could be the cause of this. I've talked to a guy I'm friends with, and he said he had a very similar issue as a child. It was a normal variant and he was fine. Praying that it's nothing serious!
Views: 81
They told us the nurse would schedule the ultrasound and call, but I've heard nothing. I'll call them in the morning if I don't get a call by the end of the day today. We're supposed to see Dr. Norris again on the 28th.
I turned 40 in April after I had Jake in October. I'm not sure I'll ever get used to someonen asking if I'm the grandmother! LOL
Oh, don't feel funny! Mom's come at many different ages, shapes, sizes, colors, etc... :) I'm 29 and sometimes feel a little funny about being such a young mom. Even though I was almost 22 and married when I had her, a lot of moms are waiting until they are older to start a family now so I definitly get feeling a little out of place. When they did the end of the year program, one of the moms came up to introduce herself and she thought my step mom was Millie's mom! :)
So did you guys go for the ultrasound yesterday? When do you get the results? That was what really helped with us. We were able to see just what we were dealing with in terms of Kids size and function.
Thanks, Lacie
I remember that!! Jake didn't say her name, but I remember him waving at someone. Bless her heart for having to have surgery. I'm so glad she's doing well! We saw Dr. Regina Norris in Greenville? Since it doesn't seem to be anything with the urinary tract, the next step is to check the kidneys for shape, size, function, I guess, with the ultrasound. It's so odd that he still has it and every test he's had has come back normal. I really feel like the ultrasound will be normal, too. I just hope that it does.
I'm so much older than most of the moms at AMES so I feel funny when I'm there for any kind of event. lol Poor Jake has the old mom!
Hi Jan,
My daughter, Millie, just started at AMES in April when I got married and moved to that side of town (we live in Bradford West). I think she was in the same class as Jake. We actually saw him at Wal Greens a couple of days ago and Millie said hi to him. :)
Anyhow, what specialist is he seeing? We have had some problems ourselves but she is much better now. We were told there weren't any pediatric urologist in town so we were sent to Charlotte to see Dr. Luis Perez. He is awesome!!! So down to earth and such a nice guy! I wouldn't have chosen anyone else! Millie had Kidney Reflux. I found out it is pretty common and most children grow out of it. Millie, unfortuantly, did not, so she had to have surgery. She had two different surgeries and hasnt had any problems since her last surgery on Halloween day 2009. It doesn't sound like that is what is going on with Jake since you said they don't think it involves his kidneys, but, nonetheless, he is a great Dr. for anything urology related! Hope you guys figure it out soon, I know it is scary! We will say a prayer for him :)

The Washington Redskins plan to place cornerback Chase Minnifield on the reserve/physically unable to perform list to open training camp, according to a tweet by ESPN Radio980 in Washington.
Minnifield was signed as a rookie free agent by the Redskins after going undrafted because of microfracture surgery on his knee in January.
He reportedly excelled in Washington's minicamp, with an interception return for touchdown. Defensive Coordinator Jim Haslett was impressed with Minnifield's play and said the Redskins were "lucky" to get him as a rookie free agent with Defensive Backs Coach Raheem Morris adding Washington was "ecstatic" about Minnifield joining the team.

Viennese Architect and Designer Josef HoffmannFeatured in Clark Exhibition Opening June 16
For Immediate Release
April 22, 2002
Rarely seen work of designer Josef Hoffmann,a leading figure in Vienna's art revival of the early twentieth century, will be featured in Josef Hoffmann: Homes of the Wittgensteins, on view at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute June 16 through September 2. Hoffman helped found the influential Wiener Werkstatte and stimulated the American Arts and Crafts movement. His decorative arts will be explored in the exhibition through his work for Karl and Paul Wittgenstein, a prominent Vienna family. Furniture and silver commissioned by the Wittgensteins, much of which is drawn from private collections and never before seen in the United States, will be featured, in addition to more than fifty design drawings by Hoffmann, on loan from the Austrian Museum of Applied Arts (MAK).
"These commissions created by Hoffmann for the Wittgenstein family exemplify the sleekness of design, emphasis on practicality, and celebration of craftsmanship that made Hoffmann one of the pivotal designers in the modernist movement," said Brian Allen, director of curatorial administration at the Clark.
It was through the patronage of clients like the Wittgensteins that Hoffmann was first able to experiment with new design ideas. The Wittgensteins were one of the wealthiest and most influential families in Vienna. Patriarch Karl Wittgenstein, a self-made entrepeneur, had eight children including philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and pianist Paul Wittgenstein. The family's social ambitions provided Hoffmann with the financial support he needed for his novel, and sometimes extreme, design ideas.
The furniture in the exhibition includes a black-stained oak writing desk commissioned in 1905 by Karl Wittgenstein's daughter Margarethe Stonborough. The architectural and cubic desk is one of Hoffmann's most architectural designs and has the look of abstract sculpture. Hoffmann's interest in the English Arts and Crafts movement can be seen in silver pieces such as a 1903 sugar bowl bought by Justine Wittgenstein. In addition to the works by Hoffmann himself the exhibition includes a silver vitrine from Karl Wittgenstein's Vienna Palace in Alleegasse; designed by Carl Czeshka, the vitrine decorated with moonstone, opal, lapis lazuli, and onyx is one of the most lavish objects ever produced by the Wiener Werkstatte.
Born in Moravia in 1870, Josef Hoffmann studied architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts under Carl von Hasenauer and Otto Wagner. He established his own office in 1898 and was a founding member of the Vienna Secession, a group of revolutionary artist and architects. In 1903 he and a group of Vienna designers founded the Wiener Werkstatte, a workshop based on the teachings of William Morris. Hoffmann's early work relates to Art Nouveau, while the function and purity of his later works show him to be a precursor of the Bauhaus movement. The exhibition is organized for the Clark by Christian Witt-Dörring, curator of furniture and woodwork at MAK, the Austrian Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna.
"It is due to Dr. Witt-Dörring's great expertise that we are able to present this selection of works that the public would otherwise never have the opportunity to see," noted Clark director Michael Conforti. "Because of his special knowledge of Hoffmann's work, including pieces in private family collections, we will be able to show the artist's greatest objects through one set of commissions."
Josef Hoffmann is one of four focused exhibitions presented by the Clark in summer 2002 that explore the deep cultural change Vienna experienced in the 18th and 19th centuries. Gustav Klimt Landscapes is the first exhibition devoted exclusively to the poetic landscapes of the great Viennese Symbolist. Bernardo Bellotto's cityscapes of Vienna from 1758 to 1761 show the old city at the height of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and an exhibition of architect Otto Wagner's work focuses on designs for the never-built Vienna Academy of Fine Arts.
The Vienna Project
The Clark's Vienna exhibitions are part of "The Vienna Project," a collaboration of eleven leading Berkshire cultural attractions during the summer and fall of 2002. Programs range from the age of Mozart to the present and include art exhibitions, music, theater, opera, and film. Participating organizations are: the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, MASS MoCA, Tanglewood, Shakespeare & Company, the Williamstown Theatre Festival, the Berkshire Opera, the Berkshire Museum, the Norman Rockwell Museum, the Williams College Museum of Art, the Berkshire Theatre Festival, and the Berkshire Choral Festival. For more information, visit www.berkshirearts.org.
The Clark
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is one of the country's foremost art museums and also a dynamic center for research and higher education in art history and criticism. The Clark's exceptional collections of Old Master, Impressionist, and 19th-century American art on display in the museum's intimate galleries are enhanced by the beauty of its 140-acre setting in the Berkshires. The Clark is also recognized for its special exhibitions, such as the recent Impression: Painting Quickly in France, 1860-1890, which concurrently advance critical thought and generate popular interest in the arts.
The Institute is one of only a few art museums in the U.S. that is also a major research and academic center, with an international fellowship program and regular conferences, symposia, and colloquia, and an important art research library. The Clark, together with Williams College, jointly sponsors one of the nation's leading M.A. programs in art history, which has been part of the professional development of a significant number of directors of art museums, curators, and scholars. The Clark's Fellows and conference programs draw university and museum professionals from around the world to pursue research and share new scholarship. The Institute encompasses one of the most comprehensive art history libraries in the world. The Clark also is home to the Williamstown Art Conservation Center, which serves more than 50 institutions in the region and also provides professional training in art conservation.
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is free through May. For more information call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

no more playing blackjack here.
God created us in His own image so we can know Him personally and have a joy-filled life. He did not make us as robots to automatically love and obey Him, but gave us a will and a freedom of choice. Since the beginning of time, we have chosen to disobey God and go our own willful way. We still make this choice today. This results in separation from God and ends in misery.
am having same problem---for toument blackjack--no play for a couple of nights--anyone know what is going on!
Anyone having trouble signing in for the blackjack tournament on AOL? I could not get in Friday night or Saturday night to play. Did they have the tournament and is my computer messed up or is it AOL that is messed up? Anybody know anything?
Dude the genuine Mongralmick has 97,470 points,13 badges & 17
games under his belt. You just played 2 miserable games nothing to show at all,
that is only black jack & SP 21.... take a good look at your profile.
Please don't treat us as fool.. Thank's for your greeting anyway. I felt so honored that you still remember us after quite sometime. Look your post the other day to us "woodoo shalome, no other than imbecile - illiterate Thai "IT" with his runt of he the litter
sidekick Susan Guenn, another Thai unfinished mutt. " Leave
Susan alone, let her enjoyed her game. She is a very nice woman. Ty.
Hey dzulki not so fast, hope you remember , who is william bono? Happy Hanukkah from Cin and I
One feels quite sane reading these comments lol
The wicked will have his day soon.
8 ball pool needs maintaince ;o(
@bandit.charles yes do you have java and flash player,,,,and your java you need to go into and put your security settings on medium and then reboot
@bj_queen3 I made it to the table tonight by using a different browser. I was kept out 8 nights. I made it to the final table and came in 3rd. You were were at my first table but of couse you did not get to play
@bj_queen3 I was able to get to the table tonight by using a different browser. I was kept out for 8 nights. You were at my first round table but of course you didn't get to play. I made it to the final rnd and came in 3rd
@HellzaPoppinBabyyou have difficulty with social interaction and impairment in carrying out the activities of daily living. Yes you really need a doctor before it's too late.
@bj_queen3 The first round was played as usual for me. But, when I won my position at my table, I noticed it said, 2 of 9 tables...hand 8 and here it is nearly an hour and a half after I won at my table and it has only moved to 2 of 9 tables, hand 22 right now. So, I don't know if it will eventually catch up and play will begin for the second round of the night or we are all just plain screwed. I did receive the exact same message as you described upon my initial attempt to sign in, but I closed down my browser, tried again and was able to sign in and gain access after the second attempt. In other words, I was able to play the first round, but the system did not move me to the second round. I suppose the tournament ended there, after the first round. But, again, it is still moving along, showing 2 of 9 tables, hand 23 at this moment. It is all still a mystery.
What's your problem now Set? Your boy friend leave you? As for you Parbuick5, I don't preach, a better word would be "teach". I've seen much worse than commenting on the truth of Life. Either of you have a dislike for comments made by me, move on. :)
@king fish Totally agree my sentiments exactly.
@patsylml I believe in every word you say, but I find myself in a terrible dilemma with my God through the actions of other "christians" what I am being told does not sit well and I am really confused because my only request in life is to go to Heaven when I die to serve my God
@anksix Having the same problem Fri, Sat &Sun. Also cannot play the multiple players table but can play the individual table
@dzulki MERRY CHRISTMAS

@wuzolan @bj_queen3 ty but that didnt work at all. I even uninstalled browser and tryed others didnt work. the error msg says
error from server: cannot retrieve player info from DB
@HellzaPoppinBaby @Set1040 If you wonder why you have no friends, and are not respected, and have trouble with co-workers and management where you work, you should consider getting some intense therapeutic help. Nobody agrees with anything you have to say. You've got both feet planted firmly in the air. Wake up jerk.
@HellzaPoppinBaby Satan was God's best friend. Christ and Lucifer were in perfect harmony in the beginning. They enjoyed the closest fellowship and communion with each other. They co-ruled heaven together. Lucifer was God's second in command until the time came where he questioned God's sovereignty over all beings. He felt that Christ and himself should be equal because all beings are God. He questioned the hierarchy of the Elohim and decided to change it because he thought the trinity were wrong in perception.
My Christmas wish for you, my friend
Is not a simple one
For I wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun
I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer
May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought
May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold
I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too.
@HellzaPoppinBaby @air wolf bat 21 your an idiot and an ass hole LOL

Sandwidi Pierre—Vol. 3
Face A
Cousin Halidou
Face B
Boanga President
Cousin Halidou
Final recording by one of Burkina Faso's more powerful vocalists, circa 1995. Pretty much a lively synth-horn section and twinkly guitar supporting Pierre's grown-n-sexy party tunes. Music to sway in your seat at a wedding to. At the very least.
Check out a probably cooler Sandwidi Pierre record at Ghost Capital, upped by pal Jason Urick.
This dude actually appears on the recent Bambara Mystic Soul compilation from Analog Africa.
