Yum Yum Yum – Went to Puerto Alegre on a Friday night with a bunch of friends -- luckily we made a reservation otherwise we would have waited forever!
This place is definitely fun and great for groups. The ambiance is very lively -- they even have a mariachi band play for your table if you'd like.
The food is great! I ordered a combo plate (shared with a friend) and LOVED the tostada with shredded beef. I generally don't like shredded beef as it's usually pretty dry, but this was amazing. The spices, marinade, flavor!!! YUM!
Will definitely be back.
One of my favorite spots in Sf! – I love this place! Not only have I been coming here for a good solid 8 years, any friends or family that come into town I take here. The food is always cosistently good, the margaritas, awesome! I always laugh to myself when people walk away that don't won't to wait 45 min for a table. They have no idea what they're missing. We're not waiting in line for fun. It's really for the margaritas!
Fun but not that cheap – I don't know why people say this place is cheap as the prices are in the upper end for Mexican in the neighborhood. I had a good time though.
What a bummer – My boyfriend loves this place-- he's been going here for years and loves their margarita's and food. Me? I could care less-- I'm no snob but the food does not justify the wait for a table. Last night was the last straw for us-- we waited for 10+ minutes at their podium with the "please wait to be seated" sign, wanting to put our name on the wait list. The place was half empty and all the waiters were lazily cleaning/prepping tables. At least 3 of them walked past us several times without even acknowledging us. We are not newbie's, we know the drill-- the place always requires a bit of a wait, but COME ON. No acknowledgement? Even the boyfriend was ticked off. We decided to take matters into our own hands and just plop ourselves into a booth. Wow-- that was all it took to finally get someone's attention and we were told that people were waiting for the tables (though they must have all been at one of the various bars nearby because NO ONE was outside). When we told them that it wasn't cool just to keep us waiting here (ESPECIALLY when it wasn't even busy), and that they could have at least said "hey sorry we're a little busy we'll be right with you". They chose to ignore basic customer service and told us "that's why the sign says 'please wait to be seated' and didn't even ask if we'd like to be added to the list. Needless to say we left and went to a different Mexican restaurant two blocks away that has MUCH better food and customer service. I know this town is dying for more sit-down Mexican restaurants, but this one isn't worth the ice they put in their half-ass margarita's.
Fun place with unexpectedly good food – Since moving to SF a few months ago, I'd been looking for a place with good Mexican food where you could also have a margarita. This was the first one I found, and it was surprisingly good. First, however, my party had to wait a good half hour past the time of our reservation to be seated. After that, all four of us were happy with our meals; the margaritas were stronger than I expected but still good. I would say this is a fun place to go with a small group - it's small, very crowded, and noisy, but that's kind of what creates the atmosphere. Service wasn't top-notch, but I wouldn't expect that in such a busy place.
Awful – From the get go this place is bad. The hostess was so rude that we wanted to leave immediately but one of the people in our party assured us the food was worth it. We waited forever, the service was slow and the food was mediocre at best. I don't know what the people who gave it a good review ordered but we sure didn't get it. The margartias weren't bad but three of the four of us agreed they're not good enough to get any of us to go back.
Great Place, especially for English-only speakers – Authentic food, great margaritas, and a staff that won't lead you wrong. All the flavors of Mexico accessible to anyone who speaks English, something you won't always find behind the counter in the Mission District. The lines may be long but that's because there is no pressure to immediately turn over tables. So if you want to linger a couple of hours, you've earned it. Prices have inched up, but you get great value and those fantastic margaritas.
The best restaurant in San Francisco – 10 Years in San Francisco, and we've never found a more charming, more fun, and better restaurant than San Francisco. From the gracious host, to the mariachi bands, to the fantastic food (MOLE!), to the best margaritas we've ever had -- we promise to spend every special occasion here.
This place ROCKS! – If you want good cheap Mexican food this is the place! The margaritas are pretty average. They would be better if they used fresh squeezed lime juice instead of a generic mix and had a better selection of tequila. It can be annoying with the mariachi bands that allways come through but hey, thats part of the Mission! Allways crowded at night so get there early or be prepaired for a wait. You can allways order food at the bar if you can't get a table.
This is place is AWESOME! – Vintage, Cozy- this place is homey and the atmosphere is fun. Yes it gets packed in the weekends and nights, but that is a good sign... isn't it? It is worth the wait, believe me. The Margaritas are incredible and are a good deal. The food is traditional and delicious (try the Camarones a la diabla, Huevos Rancheros). The service is great, everyone is so nice. The only downer is the parking! But this place is really worth it all.... By far the best mexican restaurant in the city.

Meet Natalie
My mother has called me eclectic but down to earth and I think that accurately describes me. My interest and hobbies range from gardening, cooking, golf, arts and crafts, health and fitness, hanging out with my husband, family and friends, traveling and riding my motorcycle.
About Natalie
If I had unlimited time in a day I would start out at the farmer's market, hit the gym, stop by the local coffee shop, take a quick spin on my motorcycle out into the country, go on an art tour, hit some golf balls, plants some annuals, go to a wine tasting, buy some new
shoes, cook dinner for a bunch of friends and family and hang out by the fire. I attribute all of this to how I was raised and the fact that I have a really hard time sitting still! Living on a small farm in southeastern Minnesota, we grew our own food, raised animals and used our imaginations to fill our days. To this date I have a hard time cooking anything that comes out of a box and I eat breakfast everyday!
Now my husband and I are what I like to call "working snowbirds." We share our time between Minnesota and Arizona. We've been married for 22 years and have been doing what we call the "Arizona Minnesota thing" for six years. I'm fortunate to have a position that allows me to work out of both states. Of course this gives me year-round access to riding my motorcycle and enjoying my other hobbies! This also gives me a great excuse to ride across the country twice a year because we just can't trailer our motorcycles back and forth!
Why I rideThis can be a simple answer. I ride because it makes me smile! The instructor I had during my training told our class one evening "if you're not smiling while riding, you shouldn't be riding!" How true is that statement? I can be having one of those long days and I will immediately start smiling once I'm on my bike. There's a sense of freedom, confidence and independence I get on my own bike. There's also the camaraderie I have with my gal friends who ride. Ok, can I also say "I look good on my bike!"
How I learnedI learned to ride by taking training courses in Arizona. I initially took an Introduction to Motorcycles course. This was a four-hour non-threatening type of class. We were immediately sat on the bikes and by the end of the four hours we were putting around the course in first gear. I remember the instructor approaching me and asking when I would be in his Rider's Course. I told him I would sign up the next day, which I did! Two weeks later I had my license. The next weekend I owned a bike! The instructor I had was attentive and very knowledgeable. His words of advice and safety stick with me today. I was in a class with 10 men and scored the second highest score of the class. Jim, the instructor asked how long my husband had been riding and when I told him "his whole life", Jim told me I'd be right there with him on the road. Those words were the greatest confidence booster!
Why I wanted to learnI was a passenger for years. When I first met my husband he didn't' even own a car, he only had a motorcycle! But, I think riding my own was in my blood before I met him. I grew up in Southern Minnesota on a small farm and spent summer days riding my own go-cart and dirt bike. The winters were spent riding snowmobiles.
In 2002 my husband, Terry and I moved to Arizona and of course, riding became a big part of our lives. We got involved with a local HOG group and met many fabulous people who are now dear friends of ours. Many of the riders are women, which I thought was great as I didn't know many women riders in Minnesota! About a year later Terry started working in Minnesota and was traveling back and forth between Minnesota and Arizona. I guess I just got tired of waiting for him to come home to "haul my butt" around on the back of his bike. All of my friends would be out on a ride and I sat home (or hoped I would have a seat on the back of someone else's bike!). It didn't take long for me to get my license and bike!
The cutest thing now is how Terry will tell people how he sometimes misses me "blabbing" in his ear while riding on the back with him as I tell them how I love riding my own bike!

Chelsea take on Rubin Kazan in the quarter-finals of the Europa League next Thursday (4 April), with tickets for the game now on general sale (maximum four per person) at a reduced price of £30 for adults and £15 for juniors and seniors.
The Blues secured our passage with a 3-2 aggregate win against Steaua Bucharest, with Fernando Torres' strike in the second leg proving decisive, and Rafael Benitez will be hopeful his side can carry our recent run of form into the first leg against the Russian side.
Rubin Kazan, having already eliminated Levante and Atletico Madrid, will undoubtedly provide a tough test, so make sure you come along to Stamford Bridge and get behind the team as we look to take a positive result into the return in Moscow a week later.
Tickets for the game are available from the Stamford Bridge box office, online or via the call centre on 0871 984 1905.

I'm sorry you are hurting...it IS like a festering ulcer.
But, I'm glad you have new IC for support & direction.
(((((huge hugs)))))
How is everyone doing?
A couple of things on my mind. One is that in reading through the posts, especially lately (it seems), there are a substantial number of BSs out there whose WSs continue to lie and deny, yet the BS proceeds with what they know to be the truth, even without concrete evidence.
I wonder why I can't seem to do that? It's exactly what I need to do, but I find it so, so difficult. I'm working on that.
The other thing has to do with SI being down. And don't get me wrong . . . I'll be eternally grateful to have found this place and I'm glad it's back up and running . . . but I also found that, without access to it, I stopped thinking so much about my sham of a marriage and became more focused on other parts of my life that are, at this point, more important (i.e., being a mom, my work). I've been pouring all this energy into obsessing about my marriage . . . and for what? It's completely unproductive.
I want to hand this problem straight back to my H. He brought it on--he can deal with it . . . or not, which is the more likely scenario. But I feel closer to being finished with the whole mess, tired of feeling helpless . . . and hoping I'm on the right track here. ??
JR~ When SI was down, some of us communicated via myspace, facebook, or twitter.
Yes, I completely understand about the "obsessing" of which you speak about, too.
However, I am EXTREMELY CONCERNED, more than ever, in these frighteningly bad economic times, that WH is "keeping me in the dark" about our finances so I really need to know ALL that I can.
I am EXTREMELY CONCERNED, more than ever, in these frighteningly bad economic times, that WH is "keeping me in the dark" about our finances so I really need to know ALL that I can.
Yes, it seems that financial infidelity often goes hand in hand with the other kind. Same situation here. H has always lied to me about how much money he spends. Talk about a sense of entitlement.
I just feel like this elephant will always be in the room and sometimes it is smothering me.
Hi happyending, and welcome, though I'm sorry you find yourself here. I live with several elephants in the room myself--a whole herd of them, actually--so I understand the frustration.
He wrote me back with the usual figures and that it was doing fine.
Well, I want & need VERIFICATION!
He's been such a LIAR and unless I see it with my own eyes I just cannot trust/believe him, & I agree with JR about Financial Infidelity going "hand in hand", too!!
Well, today, I asked for the PW into the online IRA acct so I could see this for myself & was met with silence.
(Oh, he replied to some other inane article I'd sent, instead.)
I asked him, AGAIN.
I'm afraid that I'm gonna be a Pit bull about this. He's not shaking me off so easily this time. He does not get to do this to me when we are M, the creepy bastard!
How many are met with silence or avoidance when being direct about PW's?
Oh, I think I'm losing my mind even posting such a silly Q. here in this thread --of all SI threads!
I feel those elephants crushing me. *GASP* Why, I can barely breathe!
*Everything* I ask my H is met with lies, denial, and avoidance. If I asked him for a PW, he's give it to me, but he'd cover his tracks, so it wouldn't mean anything.
Have you talked to an attorney about what your rights are concerning your H's finances? That's the only thing I can think of trying. . . .
I've heard it so many times. I'm just about done with it.
Me: 34 BH
Her: 34 WS
1 amazing, wonderful, perfect son-2 years old
D-Day- None yet, she won't admit she is doing anything wrong
Yes, it seems that financial infidelity often goes hand in hand with the other kind. Same situation here. H has always lied to me about how much money he spends. Talk about a sense of entitlement.
Yes, when I added up what my WS spent on his affair last year it was over 10k. This from a man who said it was "too expensive" to buy me an xmas gift and that "we didn't have enough $ to buy the kids any" (I did anyway!).
Now he complains he has no money. Although he was on my accounts since we married in 06, he somehow kept forgetting to add me to his..
Finally I forced the issue.
I still can't figure out where his money goes or where he gets more.
Now I am thinking there is another PO box and cc's I don't know about and probably another checking account too...
You know the old adage: "Follow the money."
In this case, I think it is true. For one thing, people show their priorities on what they spend their money on.
In my case it's kids' college tuition, food for them, etc, and rarely any on me beyond roof over my head..
it's all about James Hunter, now ;)
And here's the 180 link:
My first IC asked me a question once "does it matter if it was 1 or 50? does it matter if it was $100 or $10,000? It was all betrayal, he lied, he cheated on you, he's still lying. Look at his character not the actual acts." So that's what I've had to do.
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. -- Yoda
I think that I was a rat terrier in a Past Life.
Because I just *ache* with wanting to KNOW & its so very difficult to shake that loose or not explore all those tunnels.
Now I have to think "Who's benefiting from this discussion and who's going to get hurt?" I'm the one who's going to hurt. What do I give him? A stroll down memory lane?
I was literally killing myself with the questions. Blood pressure, diabetes, heart palpitations, weight gain, wrinkles!
There is no way for a right-thinking, moral, reasonable, sensible person to make sense out of an affair mentality. The term is making sense out of nonsense. It just doesn't happen for us.
I'm struggling today with questions, but I won't ask him. And it's a big one about how he reconciled something he did with the person he is. He wont' have an answer, he never does. And all that will do is add to my frustration and anger and depression.
SO who am I hurting and who am I helping? He gets to be angry and distant and make me feel worse? I get hurt. No, I'm protecting ME. How he lives with himself is his problem.

I have a breeding question. I have a male Servine and I want a Snivy. I have 2 female Cottonee to chose, one has a Jolly nature (+speed -sp.attack) and scatter things often (+HP); while the other has a Naive nature (+speed -sp.defense) and often dozes off (+HP). Both Cottonee are on the same level and same moves.
My Servine on the other hand has a Hardy nature (+attack -attack) and loves to eat (+HP).
So which would be the correct combination to breed a Snivy?

New Findings on Asian Alcohol-Protection Gene
Only certain East Asian populations have a high prevalence of a gene that protects against alcohol over-consumption, and researchers speculate that some event must have occurred over the past few thousand years to make this genetic protection advantageous, Reuters reported.
Yale University researchers said that unknown environmental factors are the likely cause for the prevalence of the ADH1B*47His gene variant among some Asian populations, but not others. The gene causes rapid metabolism of alcohol into acetaldehyde, a chemical that produces hangovers, flushing, nausea and other unpleasant symptoms that make even moderate drinking a poor experience.
Researchers found that the gene variant was very prevalent in East Asia, fairly common in West Asia and North Africa, and rare in other parts of the world. In Asia, the gene was most common among speakers of the Hmong and Altaic languages. Within these groups, environmental factors apparently made survival more likely among individuals with the gene than those who lacked the variant.
However, researchers doubt that protection against alcoholism was the key to survival, noting that consumption of highly concentrated forms of alcohol is a relatively recent phenomenon. One possibility is that the gene protected these populations from toxins in their traditional foods that was not present in the diets of other populations.
The study was published in the journal PLoS One.

2012 National Dog Show Winners -- Best in Show Is..
This win is one for the history books.
For the second year in a row, a Wire Fox Terrier won the coveted Best in Show title at the National Dog Show presented by Purina. The same breed hasn't won two years in row in a major competition since an English Springer Spaniel won Westminster in 1971 and 1972.
The 4-year-old female faced some serious canine competition. Out of more than 1,500 dogs, 160 breeds, and six other Group Winners, Best in Show Judge Vicki Abbot chose GCH Afterall Painting the Sky to win the prestigious honor.More on Vetstreet.com:

For Immediate Release.
Minnesota Department of Commerce offers energy saving tips for consumers
ST. PAUL, MN – As summer heats up, the Minnesota Department of Commerce offered some simple energy-saving tips today to help Minnesotans keep cool, conserve energy, and reduce their utility bills in the months ahead.
"By taking a few simple steps to keep cool air in your home and warm air out, Minnesotans can see significant savings on their utility bills this summer," said Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman. "Taking steps to save energy is good for our environment and our economy; and those steps often can mean real savings in your family budget."
Check out the following tips to keep cool, save money, and help prevent unnecessary power outages by easing high demand of electric power this summer.
Ten tips to beat the heat, save energy
Get an Advanced Energy Audit. Find out how your house is working. An advanced energy audit will provide an evaluation of your home's energy use, insulation levels, air leakage and mechanical systems. Utility companies and private contractors can provide audits; check with your utility or the Minnesota Building Performance Association at www.mbpa.us.
Seal Air Leaks. Over half of our home's energy is used to heat and cool our homes. To keep the cool air in, it is critical to reduce air leaks in attics, walls, windows and doors. An advanced energy audit will identify the locations and methods for sealing air leaks.
Use a Programmable Thermostat. Install and use a programmable thermostat with your central air conditioner and set it to 78 degrees F. Or, if you are home throughout the day, manually turn on and off your aid conditioner as needed.
4. Maintain HVAC Systems. Heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems need to be inspected annually to ensure they are working efficiently. Change furnace and air conditioning filters regularly, and keep air conditioner coils clean and free of dust and dirt to increase efficiency and lifetime use.
Cool Efficiently. Replace old inefficient air conditioning systems with high efficient, ENERGY STAR models (www.energystar.gov). For central air conditioners, look for a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating of 14.5 or more. Have your utility cycle your air conditioner during times of peak electrical demand to reduce the need for additional generation—and you will get a discount on your utility bill.
Keep the Cool Air Inside. Keep shades pulled and doors and windows closed during the daytime when temperatures are at the warmest. Open windows at night to let cool air in.
Use Fans. Use fans to cool your body or to pull cooler air in through windows at night. The use of ceiling fans and oscillating fans in hot weather will create a windchill effect that can make your home feel cooler and reduce the need for air conditioning.
Air Dry Dishes and Clothes. Reduce the electricity use of your dishwasher and clothes dryer by air drying dishes and clothes.
Conserve Power. Turn off devices when you are not using them (lights, TVs, entertainment systems, computers and monitors); plug home electronics, such as TVs and DVD players, into power strips; and turn the power strips off when the equipment is not in use (older TVs and DVDs in standby mode may still use several watts of power).
Use CFLs and LED lighting. Replace your old inefficient incandescent lights with compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) or light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Current ENERGY STAR-labeled CFLs, for instance, use about one third of the energy and last up to 10 times longer than an incandescent bulb with the same light output.
For more energy-saving tips, visit www.energysavers.gov as provided by the U.S. Department of Energy or talk to your utility. Also, check out the Division of Energy Resources' "10 Ways to Save Energy" fact sheet and its website at www.energy.mn.gov.

Corey Flintoff
Corey Flintoff is NPR's international correspondent based in Moscow. His journalism career has taken him to more than 50 countries, most recently to cover the civil war in Libya, the revolution in Egypt and the war in Afghanistan.
After joining NPR in 1990, Flintoff worked for many years as a newscaster during All Things Considered. In 2005, he became part of the NPR team covering the Iraq War, where he embedded with U.S. military units fighting insurgents and hunting roadside bombs.
Flintoff's reporting from Iraq includes stories on sectarian killings, government corruption, the Christian refugee crisis and the destruction of Iraq's southern marshes. In 2010, he traveled to Haiti to report on the massive earthquake its aftermath. Two years before, he reported on his stint on a French warship chasing pirates off the coast of Somalia.
One of Flintoff's favorite side jobs at NPR is standing in for Carl Kasell during those rare times when the venerable scorekeeper takes a break from Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me!
Before NPR, Flintoff served as the executive producer and host of Alaska News Nightly, a daily news magazine produced by the Alaska Public Radio Network in Anchorage. His coverage of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill was recognized with the 1989 Corporation for Public Broadcasting Award.
In 1977, Flintoff got his start in public radio working at at KYUK-AM/TV, in Bethel, Alaska. KYUK is a bilingual English-Yup'ik Eskimo station and Flintoff learned just enough Yup'ik to announce the station identification. He wrote and produced a number of television documentaries about Alaskan life, including "They Never Asked Our Fathers" and "Eyes of the Spirit," which have aired on PBS and are now in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution.
He tried his hand at commercial herring fishing, dog-mushing, fiction writing and other pursuits, but failed to break out of the radio business.
Flintoff has a bachelor's degree from the University of California at Berkeley and a master's degree from the University of Chicago, both in English literature. In 2011, he was awarded an honorary doctorate degree from Drexel University.

Improving Urban Vegetation for Water Quality
Plants benefit cities in many ways: They regulate climate and air quality, provide recreational opportunities, and much more. Yet we know little about the impacts of various kinds of vegetation on the location, movement and quality of urban water, or about what influences decisions about urban vegetation.
This project is exploring:
- how people decide how to manage vegetation on public and private lands and how social networks influence such decisions;
- how land cover and management decisions affect water quality; and
- how government and other institutions use information about behavior and the effects of vegetation cover and water quality to help or hinder links between people and the environment.
By identifying factors that shape management of vegetation and land cover in urban landscapes and determining the consequences of management for waterways and ecosystem services, the researchers hope to develop strategies for improving water quality in urban settings.
Year 1 Progress Report (January 2012)
In 2011, the researchers collected and analyzed soil and vegetation samples from St. Paul city parks to explore the influence of trees and lawns on nutrient cycling in soils and nutrient flows to groundwater. They also worked with the Capital Region Watershed District to determine variation in nutrient loading of groundwater and storm water across a network of storm water monitoring sites with different land cover. Finally, they established a network of citizen science volunteers who sampled small ponds in the CRWD to examine landscape and seasonal variation in water quality from May through September. Team members have given nine presentations on their work to classes, local community groups and a scientific conference. They have received more than $780,000 from outside donors, including the National Science Foundation and the Bell Museum of Natural History.

NCAA Interim President
The NCAA routinely reviews current trends and how they could impact our rules. As a part of this ongoing effort, the NCAA has begun preliminary discussions about our current agent and advisor legislation. We need to ensure that those select student-athletes with professional athletic opportunities have the best information at the right time to make informed decisions. While the NCAA wholly supports student-athletes getting complete information, the membership is not likely to change its opposition to student-athletes receiving benefits from agents and advisors. As a result, this discussion within our Division I governance structure will be framed in the context of existing rules and how advisors might assist in providing information to student-athletes who are weighing their options. Feedback from NCAA members, including coaches, athletic administrators and others, will be vital to this dialogue.

Whenever any faucet is open in the house there is noise of rushing water in the basement pipes. The noise seems to be predominant at the PRV and at the pipe just above it, but the sound of water can also be heard throughout the rest of the pipes. Could the PRV be causing this noise or are there other factors involved? The PRV appears to be in good shape but it came with the house so it is 15+ years old. I did remove and clean the PRV strainer recently but that did not help. The strainer actually was fairly clean. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,

This is fracking waste in Pennsylvania
And it could be dumped into our rivers — just as they're coming back from decades of pollution.
Through Environment New Jersey, thousands of citizen members are teaming up with a professional staff to stand up for the places we love and the environmental values we share.
Working together, we can defend the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a program that cuts pollution and funds clean energy across the Northeast. When Gov. Christie moved to kill the program, we united tens of thousands of New Jerseyans. Now, we've taken the governor to court. We expect a decision in early 2014.
Learn the truth about fracking. Watch our new expose and take action to stop fracking today. Take Action.
Our sister organization, Environment New Jersey Research & Policy Center, has released a new report on New Jersey's wind potential.
