Custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"). IF WE CUT IT, YOU OWN IT! Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Once we cut a stock size piece, we can't ever sell it as full size piece again. All cuts are nominal. So, PLEASE MEASURE CAREFULLY, and DOUBLE CHECK YOUR MEASUREMENTS BEFORE YOU ORDER. Custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable! The old adage is espcially true here: measure twice, cut once. WE do it before we cut your piece, and YOU should do it before you order.
Here's a little refresher on how to use a measure tape. First, let's talk about the increments. We'll assume that you're using the English or Imperial system of feet and inches. Extend your tape measure several inches and find the large 1 and 2. On most English measuring tape, the smallest increment is 1/16 of an inch. This means that there are 16 equally spaced marks between 1 and 2 inches on the tape. When measuring, count how many of these marks you are beyond the nearest inch. If your piece measures 7 inches and other 8 marks, that is 8/16 (1/2) for a total of 7-1/2". Let's say you were taking your second measurement (see below) and this time you counted 9 marks past the 7 inch mark. That means your piece is actually 7-9/16" long.
No! The sliding clip on the end of the tape is designed for two different types of measurements. When you take an outside measurement (where you hand the clip of the tape over an edge), the clip slides out a little to account for the thickness. When you take an inside measurement (push the clip up against a surface), the clip slides in, again accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts so, either way, you get an accurate measurement.

3 juveniles on the run are caught in Fargo, 2 are still on the looseFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- 2 juveniles, who assaulted an officer and escaped from youth corrections center in Mandan are on the loose, and considered violent and dangerous.
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- 2 juveniles, who assaulted an officer and escaped from youth corrections center in Mandan are on the loose, and considered violent and dangerous.
They were among 5 teens who escaped Monday. 3 were caught in south Fargo.
Authorities say the 5-teens, Emmanual Hunter, Terrick Kern, Kyran Johnson, Donnie Lee, Jr., and Bobby Devine assaulted a corrections officer, and stole the officers car. It was later found abandoned in Minot, where 2 of the teens are from. The corrections officer was not seriously injured.
About noon in Fargo today, Police say they noticed a mini-van driving erratically coming off the interstate. Police didn't pursuit, but they did follow.
The juveniles lost control of the vehicle in the 18-hundred block of Rose Creek Parkway, near Seasons. They hit a mailbox, then ran over a tree, disabling the van. They took off on foot, but were later caught.
Dale Boeddeker, homeowner, says, "Just heard the noise and saw them bail out of the vehicle, and running across the yard."
Joel Vettel/Fargo Police Dept.: "One of those situations where officers did the right thing. Were able to get to the area, locate the vehicle, made the good choice not to escalate the situation any further than it was."
The 2 other juveniles are still on the run. Authorities don't know where they are. They're considered violent and possibly armed. The 3 that were caught, are being returned to the Mandan facility, and face additional charges.

A boil, also called a furuncle, is a deep folliculitis, infection of the hair follicle. It is most commonly caused by infection by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, resulting in a painful swollen area on the skin caused by an accumulation of pus and dead tissue.[1] Individual boils clustered together are called carbuncles.[2] Most human infections are caused by coagulase-positive S. aureus strains, notable for the bacteria's ability to produce coagulase, an enzyme that can clot blood. Almost any organ system can be infected by S. aureus.
Signs and issues[edit]
Boils are bumpy, red, pus-filled lumps around a hair follicle that are tender, warm, and very painful. They range from pea-sized to golf ball-sized. A yellow or white point at the center of the lump can be seen when the boil is ready to drain or discharge pus. In a severe infection, an individual may experience fever, swollen lymph nodes, and fatigue. A recurring boil is called chronic furunculosis.[1][3][4][5] Skin infections tend to be recurrent in many patients and often spread to other family members. Systemic factors that lower resistance commonly are detectable, including: diabetes, obesity, and hematologic disorders.[6]
Usually, the cause is bacteria such as staphylococci that are present on the skin. Bacterial colonization begins in the hair follicles and can cause local cellulitis and inflammation.[1][4][5] Additionally, myiasis caused by the Tumbu fly in Africa usually presents with cutaneous furuncles.[7] Risk factors for furunculosis include bacterial carriage in the nostrils, diabetes mellitus, obesity, lymphoproliferative neoplasms, malnutrition, and use of immunosuppressive drugs.[8] Patients with recurrent boils are as well more likely to have a positive family history, take antibiotics, and to have been hospitalized, anemic, or diabetic; they are also more likely to have associated skin diseases and multiple lesions.[9]
The most common complications of boils are scarring and infection or abscess of the skin, spinal cord, brain, kidneys, or other organs. Infections may also spread to the bloodstream (bacteremia) and become life-threatening.[4][5] S. aureus strains first infect the skin and its structures (for example, sebaceous glands, hair follicles) or invade damaged skin (cuts, abrasions). Sometimes the infections are relatively limited (such as a stye, boil, furuncle, or carbuncle), but other times they may spread to other skin areas (causing cellulitis, folliculitis, or impetigo). Unfortunately, these bacteria can reach the bloodstream (bacteremia) and end up in many different body sites, causing infections (wound infections, abscesses, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, pneumonia)[10] that may severely harm or kill the infected person. S. aureus strains also produce enzymes and exotoxins that likely cause or increase the severity of certain diseases. Such diseases include food poisoning, septic shock, toxic shock syndrome, and scalded skin syndrome.[11] Almost any organ system can be infected by S. aureus.
A small boil may burst and drain on its own without any assistance.[12]
Furuncles at risk of leading to serious complications should be incised and drained by a medical practitioner. These include furuncles that are unusually large, last longer than two weeks, or are located in the middle of the face or near the spine.[1][5] Fever and chills are signs of sepsis that require immediate treatment. [13]
Antibiotic therapy is advisable for large or recurrent boils or those that occur in sensitive areas (such as around or in the nostrils or in the ear).[1][3][4][5] Staphylococcus aureus has the ability to acquire antimicrobial resistance easily, making treatment difficult. Knowledge of the antimicrobial resistance of S. aureus is important in the selection of antimicrobials for treatment.[14] Poor personal hygiene being common, the role of nasal S. aureus carrier may differ from communities with good hygienic practices. Staphylococcus aureus re-infection may result from contact with infected family members, contaminated fomites, or from other extra-nasal sites. This raises a suggestion to treat household contacts and close contacts if recurrence persists, because it is likely that one or more contacts are asymptomatic carriers of S. aureus. In addition to the increase in the cost of treatment in poor countries, the possibility of developing drug resistance must be considered. The most important independent predictor of recurrence is a positive family history. Boils are spread among individuals by touching or bursting a boil. The role of iron deficiency anemia in recurrent furunculosis was demonstrated, all patients were free from recurrence during the six months follow-up period after iron supplementation.[15] A variety of host factors, such as abnormal neutrophil chemotaxis, deficient intra-cellular killing, and immuno-deficient states are of importance in a minority of patients with recurrent furunculosis.[16] Health education about sound personal hygiene and correction of anemia should be mandatory in management of furunculosis.[9] It was found that recurrence was significantly associated with poor personal hygiene.[17] A previous study reported that MRSA infection was significantly associated with poor personal hygiene.[citation needed] It was reported that frequent hand and body washing with water and antimicrobial soap solution[citation needed] decreases staphylococcus skin colonization. Previous use of antibiotics is associated with a high risk of recurrence. This may be due to the development of resistance to the antibiotics used.[18] An associated skin disease favors recurrence. This may be attributed to the persistent colonization of abnormal skin with S. aureus strains, such as is the case in patients with atopic dermatitis.[18]

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Smithfield Chemical Company
Smithfield Chemical Company operated as a lacquer manufacturer from 1936 to 1961, manufacturing lacquers from nitrocellulose, an extremely flammable chemical used in several different solvents. There were 10 major explosions at the facility resulting in fires. After operations ceased, a final fire destroyed the plant in 1964. The ruins were plowed into one area and covered with fill.
The site is positioned between a town park, the YMCA, and the Smithfield Middle and High schools. The area is frequented by pedestrians that use the park for recreation. It also serves as a short-cut to the high school and a nature trail for the YMCA after school sessions.
An underground storage tank of solvents and associated piping was abandoned and the solvents that remained in the tank were a potential source of contamination to surrounding soils, ground water, and surface water.
EPA sampling documented acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, toluene and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the tank at levels that exceed the state standards.
In December 2003, the RI Department of Environmental Management asked the town, which owned the land, to clean the area and remove the tank. The town hired a contractor to do the clean-up. In early January, 2004, the area was fenced off and restricted to the public. The tank in question, as well as three more tanks found during excavation, were pumped out and removed for disposal. About three cubic yards of contaminated soils were excavated from under the tanks and disposed of.
Samples were taken from the excavation to determine whether contamination has migrated from the underground tanks. DEM worked with the town to remove contaminated soil.

Thanks to this chain, everyone can enjoy chunky, funky ice cream with a clear conscience. – The Scene
It's not just about the ice cream. Ben and Jerry, two childhood friends from Vermont, built their empire on a great product laced with social awareness. Sit in this scoop shop, grab an unbleached napkin and gaze at the murals depicting hormone-free cows munching in green, organic pastures. While you're there, pick up literature supporting some local environmental causes.
The Food
What a difference pure, delicious ingredients can make. Favors include Chunky Monkey, Phish Food, Cherry Garcia and New York Super Fudge Chunk, just to name a few. Decadent sundaes swim in real hot fudge topped with fresh, homemade whipped cream. Cookies, brownies and waffle cones are lovingly baked each day in-house. For the light-at-heart, there are sorbet splashes--refreshing, fat-free fruit slushies.
Give me a break! Why is it so expensive??? – I've been here a couple times now and I'm done with this place. Everything costs double because it says Ben and Jerry's so, if you have to have to have it, go to 7-11 and pick up a pint. You get twice as much for half the price. Everything is like $5 and up... for a scoop. The store kinda stinks too. No vibe, bitchy management, and tasteless desserts were enough to keep me outta here FOREVER!!!! It has a A rating but every time I went in the place seemed kinda scummy and dirty. Boo!

On Republican Bob Turner's victory in the NY-9 special election…
Look at all the conventional wisdom here that has to be thrown out, and I want to make a contrast of something. After Obama's speech last Thursday – the joint session of Congress speech, the campaign speech, where he announced his $457 billion in new tax increases – what did Boehner do? Boehner put out a Press Release immediately. And featured prominently in the Press Release was Boehner assuring everybody how eager the Republicans were to work with Obama on this. Now, Bob Turner, not one time, in a New York district that has been Democrat for 90 years, not one time did Bob Turner say, "I am eager to go to Washington to work with President Obama." What Bob Turner said was "Send me to Washington to stop this. Send me to Washington to roll this back."

Fake claims about the Mayan Palace resort have been distributed amongst the public in an attempt to disrupt the resort's popularity. Guest reviews tell a different story and show that the Mayan Palace is just as beloved as it always was.
CANCUN, Mexico, Feb. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - "Mayan Palace made for an amazing romantic engagement trip for me and my fiancé! We had the time of our lives and would definitely come back!" - 4 star online review.
The review above is one example of how guests are raving about their vacations after they stay at Mayan Palace. Some Mexican resorts receive a bad reputation for unscrupulous business practices so when the Mayan Palace fraud rumors began to spread around the Internet there was plenty of cause for concern. The key difference being that when somebody feels scammed or defrauded by a business they don't have the tendency to run to the web's most popular trip planning sites and leave glowing reviews. When Mayan Palace reviews are analyzed it shows the scam has not been pulled on vacationers, but rather on the resort itself.
The Mayan Palace fraud talk has been rooted out as nothing more than an Internet hoax perpetrated by an anonymous source for unknown reasons. This may have been done to damage the reputation of Mayan Palace or could simply be the work of an enterprising blogger looking to drum up some traffic for his or her own sites with negative news. Although the person or people responsible for the Mayan Palace fraud reports may never be found it hasn't hurt the popularity of the luxury hotel. Mayan Palace is still the go-to destination for travelers looking to experience the majestic areas of Mexico and this holiday season proved that no unfounded allegation was enough to keep people away, especially when they can easily read how much the resort is enjoyed by its previous visitors.

All of our parties are 45 to 60-minutes in length. They all start with a magic trick then include many different experiments (see below). They also come with a full color Mad Science poster for the birthday child to keep and Mad Science stickers for all of the children. All parties require you to provide a small table to set up the experiments on.
Our Preschool Birthday party is an excellent introduction to science for the younger children. In it we help the children gain an understanding of what air is, in a fun and exciting way. We have numerous toys that use air (pinwheels, balloons, beach balls, tornado makers) that all the children get to play with. We make bubbles using a bubble wand, a bubble volcano and, using Dry Ice, we make large bubbles that when popped release some smokey gas called CO2. The last 15-minutes or so are spent having all the children make our Loop-D-Loop Airplanes that they get to take home with them. Can be done indoors and outdoors. Requires water prior to the party.
In this party the topic is Polymers: anything that is stretchy and sometimes ooey and gooey. In it we make our little buddy Eggbert fit into a small flask using a little bit of science magic. We melt the Wicked Witch of the West using acetone. Everyone gets to make a tornado using Vortex Generators and Tornado Tubes. After a few other experiments involving air and polymers, all the children spend the last 15-minutes or so making Mad Science silly putty that they get to take home with them. Can be done indoors or outdoors.
This party is all about light and electricity. After our opening magic tricks we delve into the subject of electricity. The Mad Scientist uses a Tesla Coil to make small bolts of lightning, to light several light sources (neon bulb & florescent bulb), ignite some magician's flash paper and then holds the Coil by the business end of it in one hand, a light bulb in the other, demonstrating how electricity travels through their body to light up the light bulb. After that the children get to experiment with Rainbow Glasses to see all the colors of the rainbow. Following that is our indoor fireworks display! (We do promise NOT to blow up your house.) That leads into experiments with ultraviolet light. Finally, we switch gears to have all the children make some Slime! Due to the light experiments, this party must be performed in a room that can be darkened a bit. Requires water before the start of the party.
The topic of this party is Chemical Reactions! In this party the children will experience sand that is afraid of water, exothermic/endothermic reactions (hot and cold), and many more exciting, thought provoking, and fun chemical reactions. Other experiments may include Chemical Luminescence and light writing or a Mad Science water rocket launch and the famous Soda Fountain Spray experiment depending on whether we're inside or out. The final make-and-take for everyone will be Super Balls. Great for older children! This party can be performed indoors or outdoors, but if indoors a room that can be darkened is required.
Does your child enjoy reading about young wizards? Then they'll love this one. Experiments include: A Young Wizards Magic Wand trick, lighting bolts from our Electric Wand, making light with our Lumos Wand, secret message paper that disappears with a bright flash, and our Wizard's Indoor Fireworks display. The Mad Scientist will demonstrate Mystic Potions with Ice from the Mystic Cave of Yaaaaaaar, the screeching spoon, Voldemorts Volcano of Foam, and Magical Substances with Slime for all! This party must be performed in a room that can be darkened a bit. Requires water before the start of the party.
Are you looking for the perfect touch of spookiness for your Halloween party this year? Our Mad Science Halloween Party is just the thing. Our presentation will have your audience gasping and laughing at the Mad Scientist's peculiar and chilling science experiments. Through a mixture of science and magic the children will see a paper spider turn into a 'real-live' spider. Hear the tales of Count Eggbert and Countess Eggberta as they battle the wicked witch. Watch as the wicked witch is melted right before your eyes! Then, as a grand finale, the Mad Scientist will introduce the audience to the eerie world of Dry Ice, making bubbling potions and lots of fearsome fog. All will have an evening of gruesome goodness and fun! Included is Slime making for all!
(*Add $20.00 for Young Wizards and Halloween Parties)
15 or less children - $229.00
16 to 24 children - $249.00
25 to 34 kids - $269.00

NOTE: a $25.00 Travel Fee may apply for some locations. We can handle any size group! For parties larger than 34 kids, please call for pricing.

Not to perpetuate stereotypes or anything, but like who hasn't dealt with that one woman (or multiple women) at work who makes things really difficult? You know the one: She serves up backhanded compliments, intentionally leaves you out of meetings, gossips behind your back and is basically the professional embodiment of Regina George.

Staying up into the wee hours is okay as long as you're sleeping in and getting enough shuteye overall, right? Sorry, night owls and shift workers: A study published today suggests that exposure to bright light at night messes with the brain's mood and memory center--meaning that it could lead to depression and learning problems, even without the lack of sleep issue.

The study, published in the journal Nature, was done on mice, but the authors from Johns Hopkins University say we actually have a lot in common with the fuzzy lab creatures--including cells in our eyes, called ipRGCs (I know, the jargon is intense), that are activated by bright light and, in turn, send signals to the brain. When these mice were exposed to 3.5-hour round-the-clock cycles of light and dark, they began acting sadder and slower: They lacked interested in sugar or pleasure-seeking behaviors, moved around less, and did not
Turkey Terminology (Plus Which Bird is Right for You)By Healthy SELF, SELF Magazine | Shine Food – Thu, Nov 15, 2012 3:53 PM EST
Gourmet, Romulo YanesAmanda MacMillan, SELF magazineRead More »from Turkey Terminology (Plus Which Bird is Right for You)
It used to be that picking side dishes was the only big decision you had to make for Thanksgiving dinner; the main course was, without a doubt, turkey, and there wasn't much more to it than that. But check out many supermarkets or online grocery delivery services today and you'll see that things have changed--you've got plenty of options on the bird, too. Here's what you need to know before you buy.
To sort through all the lingo, I asked Willow Jarosh, R.D., and Stephanie Clarke, R.D., SELF's contributing nutrition experts, for a quick poultry primer on the labels you might see at your local grocer.
FRESH: This means the turkey's never been frozen, although some are chilled to temperatures as low as 26 degrees to keep them fresher longer. The meat may be more moist and flavorful than that of a turkey that's been frozen, but they're slightly more expensive (and harder to find, as a heads up). The USDA doesn't regulate how long turkey can be

Avocado: Ok, so avocado is technically a fruit, but I just learned this trick recently, which has helped me make the best guac ever, so I had to share it with you! Simply buy avocados when they are perfectly ripe (bumpy, dark skin and gives slightly to the touch) and then store them in the refrigerator until you are ready to use them. Placing avocados in the fridge stops the ripening process, so you can buy a perfectly ripe avocado at the beginning of the week and it will still be fantastic (and not brown inside) by the end of the week. Plus, I think it makes them taste extra rich
Find the Perfect Yoga MatBy Healthy SELF, SELF Magazine | Healthy Living – Tue, Nov 13, 2012 3:21 PM EST
Illustration by Pepper Tharp Amanda MacMillan, SELF magazine
I do a lot of yoga, but I tend to practice on whatever mat or blanket is available to me at the gym or studio. And on some surfaces--including the mat I've used at home for a few years--my hands and feet slide annoyingly out of downward dog; on others, I feel like I'm sticking too much or sinking in. Lately I've been feeling a little like Goldilocks, searching somewhat hopelessly for the mat that's juuuuust right for me.

Red Palm Fruit Oil: Rich in powerful antioxidants called tocotrienol and tocopherols (vitamin E), as well as carotenes (vitamin A), red palm fruit oil provides great anti-aging benefits.

This is usually when I say something like: "Sweetheart, Mommy's in the middle of something," "Just a minute, please," or "I'm trying to finish this right now."
Which, to this unrelenting toddler, means: "I'm not paying enough attention to you, so talk louder and push harder."
Which she does, to which I respond by offering the same excuses – just louder and with more inflection.
"ELLE," I bark, "I'M BUSY."
And so it goes, throughout the day. Me, attempting to: 1. Cook something, 2. Clean something, or 3. Do something that seems crucially important. Something besides playing with my 2-year-old.
It isn't as though I don't want to play toddler games with Elle all day. I am actually quite gifted at molding eccentric creatures out of clay, and appreciate the opportunity to practice my princess marker sketches. It's just that I often feel compelled to accomplish some portion of my Daily Adult Duties, like cooking, cleaning, or doing something else that's crucially important.
This faithful struggle between accomplishing something and accomplishing nothing pockmarks the days my daughter and I spend together. And it often leads to an aggravated mother and a frustrated child, neither of whom have actually "accomplished" anything besides wasting time in the midst of the attention tussle.
This week we were at it again. Me, attempting to fold clothes and pack for a camping trip while cleaning the kitchen and looking up maps on the Internet and emailing my mom. Elle, meanwhile, was attempting to play with me.
"It's basically impossible," I whined to Craig when he called to check on our progress, as Elle dutifully clung to my leg begging that I join her in piecing a puzzle back together.
OK, kid. You win this time, I thought as I hung up the phone, mentally consigning myself to completing zero tasks in the near future.
Instead of folding, typing, wiping, and organizing, I sat on a stool and my daughter and I took turns fitting multi-colored wooden shapes into their appropriate locations. We discussed the difference between a triangle and a diamond, then we sang "Twinkle, twinkle little star" (with extra attention paid to the "like a diamond" verse.)
"OK, mommy's going to finish packing now so we can go camping," I eventually stood up from my station, somewhat tentatively, waiting for the gripes and complaints my exit would surely produce.
"OK." Elle returned to the puzzle.
I lingered, expecting a bigger to-do. Whining. Pulling at my pant leg. Perhaps a tear or two.
Instead, Elle dutifully entertained herself for the next half-hour; a harmonious, peaceable half-hour in which I actually managed to accomplish what I needed to.
With so many divergent interests contending for consideration, it often seems vitally important to throw my concentration at accomplishing tasks (making dinner, returning emails, paying bills) rather than giving my daughter my undivided attention. Entire days can pass during which I'm splitting all my time, and all my attention, between my daughter and my duties – without giving 100 percent to either.
Although it may at times seem impossible to halt the cyclone of daily obligations to offer undivided attention to my toddler, not taking that time is actually more unworkable. Undivided attention, even if only for a few minutes, is vitally imperative to a child; and, as it turns out, to her mother as well.

The prosciutto pizza and calamari are great bites to pair with an Italian red before a show at The FOX
Ov-er-ra-ted – We took a group of 10 to Baronda, expecting a nice meal, as one of our group, a native Italian, considers it his favorite Italian restaurant in Atlanta. That may well in itself, speak sadly to the state of Italian restaurants in my hometown (4th generation).
The service was OK, especially as they chose to sit our group in the bar, not the restaurant. The food was also, no more than OK. My wife's 'steamed' mussels were served cold. My NY strip steak was quite possibly as bad a piece of meat as I have ever been served, and was inedible.
This restaurant will do fine due to its proximity to the Fox Theater, but rest assured I will resist any future efforts to put this on our list of places worth our time or money.
Totally In Love – I absolutely love Italian food, and Baraonda never lets me down. The seasonal menu keeps things exciting and makes me try new dishes (I tend to order the same thing at my favorite restaurants). Their brick oven pizza is superb - very light and flavorful! I also love their pastas...I highly recommend the bolognese. The atmosphere is very warm and the service is impeccable. I have gotten an Italian server several times, and he is quite charming and very knowledgeable about the food and wine. It tends to get really loud when the dining room is at full capacity, so I prefer to go Monday-Wednesday, or sit outside if the weather allows. This is a great spot to grab dinner before going to a show at the Fox. You need to try it out!!
Best Pizza Place Out There!! – I love their brick oven pizza. I went there before a show at the fox last week, and it was incredible. Great service, the pizza was on our table before we knew it, and it was delicious. Try the proscuitto and aruluga pizza, it's the bomb!!
Incredible Brick Oven Pizza! – We ate here last night with before we went to a show at the fox, and my husband and I were VERY happy with the pizza. We haven't had pizza like this in a while, we got the proscuitto pizza with parm, and arugula, we both cleaned our plates before we left. It was very busy though and we had to wait a little before getting seated, but we both loved it and will be back again.
WAS JAZZED ABOUT EATING HERE – As like most nights my husband and I were meeting some friends for a night on the town. Occassion, to celebrate a friends birthday. We decided the main event would be Jazz @ Churchill Grounds and elected to eat here because it was in walking distance to the venue. I've driven past this place on numerous occassions and thought it appeared somewhat quaint so I was jazzed to have finally gotten an opportunity to eat here. My husband elected to order the featured dish (some pork dish w/roasted potatoes) and I ordered Veal Scallopini. For starters we were disenchanted with the fact that for such a restaurant we would have expected hot fresh baked Italian bread. What we actually received was an old precut Italian loaf that no one dared to eat. When the food did arrive the veal on my plate was cold but the mushrooms (not portabella, which was what the menu suggested) in marsala sauce were hot. Back to the kitchen it goes. In an attempt to keep from ruining the dining experience for the rest of the group I sat in silence waiting on a dish to return that at this point I had completely lost interest in. My husband then leans over and says he has chipped his tooth on something in his featured pork dish. ....making a long story short. This was absolutely the worse dining experience of my life. The service was lousy, the food was mediocre and what should have been maybe a $80.00 dining experience will more than likely cost us close to $1000 as a result of the trip to the dentist. Man it's getting more and more expensive to eat in this town!!!
Try the Pizza Prosciutto di Parma! Best Pizza in town.
This is a regular restaurant for me and I always enjoyed the food.
Best Pizza's In Atlanta – I LOVE going to this place before going to a show at the fox. My husband and I go everytime we see a show at the fox and they always make sure we're out in time. You got to try the Pruscuitto Pizza, it's the best one on the menu.
great meal great time – went here before the ron white show at the fox. i do not live in town and i am not familiar with the restaurants in the city. this place was next to the fox; so i figured it would be good as any other place.
we ( my husband and another couple) walked into a very crowded restaurant. there was so much energy and everyone was bustling around so i thought maybe they will be able to get us in. we were told it would be about a 30 minute wait and to get drinks at teh bar, which is exactly what we did. the bar too was packed but i guess this is to be expected when you are so close to the fox. we got our drinks and then waited about 20 minutes before our name was called.
we were taken to another room that looked like a wine cellar. the pace was a little slower in this room which made it easier for the 4 of us to chat. we informed our server that we were in a pinch for time. she was very kind in guiding us what to order so that we could get to the show on time. to save on time, we all ordered pizza. WOW! it was so yummy, just like what i had in naples. i will make a special trip back into the city when i have time to really enjoy the evening and not be in a rush. i really want to try the carpaccio and their seafood linguini.
do not let the crowd scare you off (i almost did). the staff is very nice and professional. i could tell they had done this before and knew how to handle the crowd. great job baraonda! this country girl looks forward to seeing you soon!
Miglior pizza d'Atlanta – Being Italian I am pretty picky about my Italian food, but Baraonda never lets me down. La pizza e' buonissima!! you have to try it, people there are friendly and accomodating too, but this pizza is not a "wannabe" it's
"as good as it gets!
Great food – This place has a great staff, actually quite a few of them and they are all nice.
The food was wonderful. I got ravioli, however I thought $15 for lunch was way too pricey. That's just too much and why I gave them 4 stars and not 5.
I think I missed the boat by not getting the pizza, I've heard it's very authentic and delicious. So next time I'll try that.
It's a nice treat for a splurge.

Dunbar Armored selects Freightliner for hybrid solution
Dunbar Armored has taken delivery of the first-ever hybrid-electric armored truck – a Freightliner Business Class M2 106 Hybrid.
Freightliner Trucks announced that Dunbar Armored has taken delivery of the first-ever hybrid-electric armored truck – a Freightliner Business Class M2 106 Hybrid. Easily configured for a wide variety of bodies and different applications, the Business Class M2 106 Hybrid is ideal for stop-and-go and stationary power take-off (PTO) operations.
Dunbar Armored, which is the largest privately-owned armored car service provider in the United States, provides security service to commercial, financial, state and federal institutions. The company's new Business Class M2 106 Hybrid truck – which will be the first hybrid vehicle in Dunbar's fleet of more than 1,400 – will be in service in California.
According to Douglas White, Vice President of fleet maintenance for Dunbar Armored, the company was seeking a truck that would help them reduce fuel consumption and their carbon footprint.
"Not only do we want to offset future fuel costs, but we're finding that our customers are also looking to us to be environmentally conscious," said White. "Freightliner Trucks offered the best solution for our first hybrid vehicle."
All of Freightliner Trucks' hybrid products are equipped with EPA 2010-compliant engines utilizing selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology and the Eaton Hybrid Electric Drivetrain System, a parallel hybrid system that enables the truck to operate using the diesel engine alone, or in combination with the electric hybrid motor.
Dunbar's new Business Class M2 106 Hybrid truck is the first production hybrid in the medium-duty market to include Eaton's "engine off at stop" technology, which shuts the engine off completely when the vehicle comes to a stop. The "engine off at stop" feature also includes a hill-hold function, which prevents the truck from rolling on grades greater than 2 percent when the driver removes his foot from the brake and steps on the accelerator. Combined, the new features are expected to give customers up to an additional 8 percent in fuel savings.
"It is our goal to provide all of our customers with innovative, leading-edge products that provide a definite impact on their bottom line," said David Bryant, vocational sales manager-hybrids for Freightliner Trucks. "Together with Eaton, we continue to enhance our hybrid solution to help companies like Dunbar maximize fuel efficiency and benefit the environment."
Freightliner Trucks' commitment to green technologies is part of Daimler AG's global Shaping Future Transportation initiative. Launched in 2007, the initiative focuses on reducing criteria pollutants, carbon dioxide and fuel consumption.

Tom Cooney has been visiting Largo's Osceola Middle School for 25 years now, and he couldn't be happier about it.
The 77-year-old is pretty much considered a legend at the school. Throughout the quarter of a century that he's been there, he's made quite a connection with students and staff. It's safe to say they adore him.
For the past 25 years, the Clearwater resident has participated in the Great American Teach-In. He does not arrive at the school in a uniform or bring any tools of a particular trade, because he's there to explain to kids what it's like to be deaf.
Every year, he visits teacher Brenda Dannewitz's classes.
"I admire his ability to be able to talk about his life and share anything," said Dannewitz.
"The kids ask him lots of questions, and he's always so open about it. He also talks about how not everybody was nice to him all along."
Dannewitz is the school's Choral Director and prepares her students for Cooney's visit by teaching the kids a song in sign language. They also learn how to sign the alphabet, numbers and their names.
During Cooney's visit to Dannewitz's 6th, 7th and 8th grade music classes last Thursday, the students signed their names when Cooney called on them individually. Cooney led the group as they signed the alphabet and numbers.
The students listened intently as Cooney, who has been deaf since he was an infant, told stories about what it was like growing up without being able to hear. He joked about how he didn't really like homework when he was a kid. He told them about the time he met Helen Keller, and he told them how it was not fun to be teased because of his disability.
Cooney has performed the National Anthem in sign language at the Super Bowl. He's met seven presidents, and owns a baseball signed by 10 former presidents. He's been the recipient of the national Thousand Points of Light award and Florida's Points of Light award for his service to the community. And along the way, he's volunteered his time to help more than one million kids learn sign language.
By the time class was over, the animated senior citizen had made a true connection with the students, without hearing a word they had to say. The kids proudly took their photos with Cooney and even gave him a fist-bump as they left class for the day.
"The kids are so awesome to me. They talk to me in sign language, we laugh and have fun," he said.
No doubt, they'll look forward to seeing him again next year.

As an American, Rodriguez should fight against the charges, if he believes they are wrong.
But realistically, maybe he would be better off accepting the inevitable and slinking off to wherever for the length of his suspension.
Even if he manages to persuade an arbiter to trim his penalty, Rodriguez isn't going to come out of this looking any better than he does now. These hearings are "private," but Major League Baseball has more leaks than the Titanic.
And it's hard to believe MLB commissioner Bud Selig would mind anybody spilling the secrets of this case. Picture the meeting:
Selig, standing up in front of his staff, says, "I don't want any leaks to the press. No leaks at all. Don't reveal what's in this folder that outlines our entire case against A-Rod. I'm talking about the folder I'm going to leave on this table while I go to lunch for at least two hours. So don't make copies of the contents on the copier that's next door. Don't use my key code of 3245 for that copier. Don't hand over copies to any major baseball reporter, all of whom are listed in my rolodex, which is in my office, which will be unlocked while I'm at lunch. For at least two hours."
Just leave, A-Rod. Then come back, go on Oprah, apologize, and move forward.

"As you can imagine, I'm very excited about my new Rhythm Time franchise. A little nervous, but excited! For all existing franchisees, they will, I'm sure, totally understand. They will have woken up in the night, wondering how they would ever manage to get everything done in time, how they would persuade enough people to come to their classes, how they would ever learn all the songs, how their house would accommodate all their new instruments, footballs, mirrors, floor mats, puppets - you get the idea?
