I'm finishing out my basement and have a water heater which is on the main floor, it will be above a finished ceiling when the project is complete.
I want to move it into the basement. My problem is that there is no floor drain in my basement. I want to put the electric water heater in a room that has vent and drain stacks as well as the electric furnace and air handler. Is there an acceptable way to plumb the T/P valve and a drain from a water pan into the drain stacks? Or does anyone have any other suggestions that could solve my problem?
If I dump the TP to the pan. Is it then ok to plumb the pan into the drain stack as I would a sink with a p-trap?
That depends on your local codes. I've seen some places want the pan to discharge outside, I've seen others where it could be tied into sanitary via an indirect connection. An indirect basically means it has to drip into a waste receptor (not directly tied), and of course the receptor needs a trap.

The problem with connecting EITHER one of them to the sanitary system with a trap is that the trap will ALWAYS be dry, since neither of them will, or should, replenish the water in the trap when it evaporates. The drain pan is seldom connected to the sewer because it would overflow during a backflow condition.
Could discharge in a laundry sink or floor sink.

TiltShift Video brings life to your miniaturized world
TiltShift Video is an app that does a great job of giving your photos and videos that miniaturized effect, but it's missing a couple of basic features that would make it easier to use.
When you first launch the app, you can choose to start a video or photo project, but you can't use the app to shoot a new video or take a picture. That's a pretty big annoyance because you're going to need to shoot everything before even opening the app.
From there, the app lets you make a number of adjustments to give … Read more

Ozarks Exposure: Ever see a tree with a face?
Bruce Dillard has been telling people he made a new friend.
- 5:56 AM, Feb. 24, 2014
You will be redirected to the page you want to view in seconds.
Bruce Dillard has been telling people he made a new friend.
Much like the buffalo, the windmill has all but disappeared from the American landscape.
I first learned about Lakeside Forest Wilderness Area when I photographed it for a story a few years ago.
Light, beautiful light the stuff photos are made from.
I could've sworn it was spring last Monday afternoon. At Jordan Valley Park, a mother and toddler picnicked and a pair of Missouri State students tossed a flying disc.
You aren't crazy if you thought last week's full moon appeared to be smaller than normal.
I was at Lake Springfield photographing the aftermath of the polar vortex when a shriek caught my attention.
The 7-below wind chill tore at my cheeks as I walked to the fishing stations at Lake Springfield.
I recently drove through a battleground not Wilson's Creek, but the South Campbell Avenue Walmart parking lot.
Nothing puts me in the holiday spirit quite like Christmas lights and decorations. The colorful glow of the lights around town acts like a beacon letting me know the holiday is near.
The wreath caught my eye, but the horses made me stop to take a picture. They looked so peaceful on a quiet morning at Valley Water Mill Equestrian Center.
If you are behind me at the stop sign at Tampa Street and North Boonville Avenue and I linger a little too long, don't honk.
Looking for the perfect place to take that holiday family photo? I suggest the gazebo at Maple Park Cemetery.
This week, we reflect on what we are thankful for. I myself am blessed with a wonderful family, good friends, employment and health though I could stand to lose a few pounds.
There is something about me that may surprise you. At times I can be kind of a pest.
They are wild-eyed this time of year. They twitch and are easily distracted.
While photographing the recent Monster Dash zombie run at Ritter Springs Park, my ears suddenly picked up the unmistakable sound of a swarm of angry hornets behind me.
My two favorite seasons came together in one image.
On assignment at Phelps Grove Park last week, I noticed one tree immediately. The maple was the only tree on the south side of the park that had started changing color.
Illuminated by the setting sun, the clouds danced in front of me, growing larger with each passing minute.
I enjoy taking nature photos, particularly along Missouri's beautiful and pristine rivers where light plays against shadow and still waters contrast with rippling rapids.
Ido a lot of driving, and normally I don't mind. But every once in a while, I see something through the windshield that I want to photograph and wish someone else was at the wheel.
I don't like people following me. Maybe that is why I have been so reluctant to sign up for Twitter, which tells you instantly how many people are following you.
The golden hour is without a doubt one of my favorite times to be outside photographing things.
Early one morning, I looked out the sliding glass doors of my bedroom to spy a not-so-itsy-bitsy spider in the center of its web.
A recent 5-mile hike with my Boy Scout troop reaffirmed my belief that we are fortunate to live in an area where we are able to enjoy wildlife right in our own backyard.
He pranced and danced to no avail and even shook his booty.
Some things just cause me pause in my travels around town.
I spent a lot of time at the Missouri Hotel last summer, photographing families for our Every Child series on children in poverty. On an assignment there recently, I saw some familiar faces.
I always smile when I go to the recycling center.
It's been over a year since Lindenlure, a favorite summertime river destination of the Ozarks, was wrapped in controversy.
My morning campfire flickered, sending smoke across the waters of the Jacks Fork River.
I hate, hate, hate flying. Let me rephrase that. I actually like flying. It is the often insufferably long hours spent WAITING to fly that I hate. This was reinforced on a recent business trip.
Early morning light filtered through the leaves of the taller plants, casting patterns on the plastic.
In this case the egg did come first. Four of them to be exact, blue-green robins' eggs.
I see a lot of different things as I travel the Ozarks on assignment for the News-Leader.
Driving down Fremont Avenue I noticed all the signs of spring.
Despite the crazy cold temperatures, there are signs of spring. Breaking out the mower for the first time a few weeks ago, I stumbled across one quite literally.
Sometimes it just takes a bigger lens to see things clearly; in this case, it took a telescope.
Have you ever seen a pine tree turn into a bear?
It was no ordinary window. Small, but I had looked through smaller.
Don't hate me because I have a beautifully clean driveway. I shoveled it twice before 10 p.m., and it was clear of snow come morning. There is a good reason.
Google Maps won't direct you there, nor Bing, Yahoo or MapQuest even though it might be the preferred route.
My noisy neighbors were cawing about their latest victory. Quite literally they are crows. More properly called American crows.
I was walking in a cloud, oblivious to the wailing and gnashing of teeth of rush hour motorists making their way to work through last Tuesday's rapidly falling snow.
Next time you're at the Gillioz Theatre, you might notice a mask peeking out from behind the latticework on either side of the stage. A colleague pointed them out to me during a recent press conference. Weird. What's the story on those, we wondered.
An approaching cold front six days ago created a remarkable though short-lived halo around the setting sun.
At first glance, it looked like two vultures huddling on a branch.
Based on the photos above, it should be easy for you to guess who got a new app for his iPhone.
Roaming a rural road south of Lake Springfield, I spied a gray, haphazard mass of branches atop a towering, bleached-white sycamore tree.
I always enjoy out-of-town assignments. It's nice to get out of the office for a while, especially with a co-worker I don't get to chat with very often.
Since I first started taking wildlife photos two or three years ago, there has always been one animal I've wanted to photograph. With a little bit of luck, a lot of patience and an excellent tip, I was finally able to photograph a bald eagle in the wild.
As dusk approached on my last day of work in 2012, I headed to my favorite local place to photograph wildlife: Lake Springfield.
I shot a lot of photos in 2012 and while I am hesitant to pick out a favorite photo, I can easily pick out a favorite moment.
Christmas came early for me this year with a present from Mother Nature. This gift was not located under a tree, though it was found in it, some 20 feet up.
I have had my fill of snow and cold, growing up in Minnesota and spending several years working in both the Dakotas. Yet last week, far from the norm, I was excited to venture out Tuesday morning into temperatures in the mid-teens.
When two people told me about the Glade Top Trail on the same October day, I wanted to see it before the trees shed their leaves. So a few days later my husband, Jamie, and I packed a picnic lunch and headed east to find the scenic byway.
This was supposed to be a column about the gorgeous red leaves on the sugar maple in my front yard, but every photo I took fell far short of capturing their beauty. To run such a photo would cheapen the wonderful sight I see every day.
The broad daylight life and death struggle at the corner of Campbell Avenue and Chestnut Expressway went largely unnoticed. Motorists, even passing police cars, sped by within feet of the scene, yet did not stop.
I have canoed the Buffalo River many times, but I had never seen it like this. First, I was viewing it not from a canoe but while on foot backpacking with my Scout troop. Secondly, I am usually only here to float.
The float on the Eleven Point River has ended in Riverton, the canoes loaded, the gear stowed on the trailer.
The Eleven Point River meanders through more than just nature's beauty. This spring-fed stream also traverses an area rich in history. On a recent canoe trip I have run my hand over rusted iron that was once a grist mill.
I first learned about Maramec Spring Park a few years ago when I volunteered at the Missouri Photo Workshop in St. James. I remember hearing that it was a special place, but I didn't have a chance to see it until recently.
A waning sun bathed cross-country runners in a beautiful golden light as they made their way through the trees at a recent meet in Nixa. Summer slips away, the weather cools and leaves change colors. I have often thought sunlight changes color, as well.
My husband, Jamie, is obsessed with trout fishing. Nearly every weekend he tries his luck. Sometimes I go with him and hunt for photos, but usually I'd rather sleep in, especially when he leaves before sunrise.
Rain can transform the area. Grass and trees thrive. Rivers become floatable. A spider's web becomes a bejeweled necklace, holding onto the rainwater. The lack of rain can equally transform a region.
Wilson's Creek National Battlefield is one of my favorite places in the area. In addition to the history, it's a great place to get some exercise and, as I just found out, view wildlife.
I did not find the wild horses of Shannon County in the pasture. This time they were in the trees along the banks of the Jacks Fork River foraging for food.
We often have spectacular cloud formations in the Ozarks and I enjoy photographing them. The challenge is to find something to pair with them to make the photo more interesting. I achieved this last week.
Up above, as I sip my morning coffee on my backyard patio, tightrope walkers perform daring feats.
Twenty years ago to the day last Friday I almost walked through the doors of the News-Leader to begin my new job as photo editor. I say almost because every door I tried was locked, and I couldn't get into the building.
The dry, parched soil guzzles the water from my garden hose as fast as it flows, yet always thirsts for more. My flowers are wilted, the cucumbers yellow and shriveled. Radishes are as thin as pencils.
Slowly I approached the great blue heron. I spotted him through the trees which line the bank of the James River, sitting on one of the many logs that jut out from the riverbed as I drove up Farm Road 193 which parallels the river.
There have been a lot of tweets going out from my neighborhood lately. Not social media tweets. These were real tweets from birds. Starlings, to be exact. Thousands of them blackened the early evening sky around my house last week.
The most patriotic of birds drew me away from the task at hand, packing up camp along the banks of the North Fork River. I was on a canoe trip with the Boy Scout troop I lead. A shout from a Scout 'An eagle!' drew my attention.
Last month I noticed a couple of mysterious plants growing near the rosebushes in my backyard. I thought they were weeds and almost pulled them, but my husband, Jamie, wanted to let them grow.
I recently canoed the Jacks Fork River hoping to visit the friends I had met on the previous year's float, the Shawnee Creek herd of wild horses. I didn't expect to run across some new ones.
While photographing Pam and Paul Price last month for a story about the new management at Fellows Lake Marina, my ears perked up when Pam commented that the lake had the best sunset views around.
If utility poles in this town could talk, they would utter one word repeatedly. 'Ouch!' I photographed this one at the corner of Atlantic Street and Grant Avenue while I stood behind it as police investigated possible gunshots in the area.
Here in the Ozarks, May is one of my favorite months. While the days may be warm, evenings are often cool, a perfect time to relax in the backyard. I watch the wildlife.
I had just finished my last assignment of the day and was in no hurry to get back to Springfield from Walnut Grove. As I approached my turn on the drive home I did something I don't normally do; I decided to take the long way back.
Near the end of my river soliloquy, I camp on a pristine gravel bar a mere 100 yards downriver from the trailhead to Hemmed In Hollow on the Buffalo River. I recline in my chair dinner cooked and eaten, tent set up.
Hemmed-In-Hollow has haunted me. I first laid eyes on the 200-foot waterfall trickling down a horseshoe-shaped limestone bluff four years ago.
The picture above is brought to you courtesy of Angela Collins, Chuck Millen and Andy Boye, three fine folks.
Finally a weekend with sunny skies, 80-degree weather, the upper Buffalo River at just the right water level to canoe and, best of all, no pressing chores at home to do at least that was my opinion.
I've always been mesmerized by flight. Whether it be a bird soaring through the air or a plane, I often find myself looking to the sky.
I don't remember a lot about my life before I used a camera. Seems like there has always been a camera in my hand or within reach. I don't see that ending anytime soon. What will end soon is my byline in the News-Leader.
Back at my desk following a meeting I noticed the red light on my phone aglow indicating a new voice mail. Now to me voice mail, if I may steal a phrase from a popular movie, is like a box of chocolates.
A challenge for the most experienced paddler, the St. Francis River is the gem of Ozarks rivers for whitewater enthusiasts.
There is someone in my neighborhood in desperate need of female companionship. Each morning for the last three weeks, I have found him outside trying to woo a mate with a love song.
The budding maple trees are a sure sign that spring is here. They are a much gentler indicator than stormy weather, which we experienced last week.
Glen Campbell was recently honored at this year's Grammy Awards for Lifetime Achievement. Campbell, who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, was a frequent performer in Branson.
Sometimes the harder I look for a feature photo, the more elusive it becomes. I have learned to appreciate the little moments that fall into my lap when I'm not even looking.
In an office on the second floor of a century-old frame building in Galloway, David O'Neill, 73, leafs through a binder of dozens of photographs.
You are fortunate that I have a 15-year-old son with a learner's permit, or there would be one more distracted driver on the road in the morning. Me. I ride shotgun as he drives to school.
As much as I love the outdoors, I don't consider myself an outdoorsman.
I first heard about Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds a few years ago when I was photographing a farm family in Moberly. The catalog they showed me was full of beautiful color photographs of plants and produce.
For someone who really doesn't care much for cold weather, it might seem unusual that I look forward to photographing outdoors in January. But while the air may be crisp, the light and colors are dazzling.
Subjects in shadows often are more interesting to photograph than things that are well lit.
Patience is not a virtue I possess. This is why I'm not a wildlife photographer or a hunter. I have too much energy to sit and wait for animals to do what I want them to do.
A full moon was quickly rising in the eastern sky and the race was on. I wanted a photo of it but first I needed something of interest to have in the foreground.
While stopped for a train on Boonville Avenue recently, I thought I saw a few people standing in a parking lot. As I got closer, I realized they were statues. There were about 20 in the same style -- a soldier, a pregnant woman, children and horses. Such a mysterious scene intrigued me, so I parked and grabbed my camera.
The colder it got, the more they shed their clothes.
I looked up at the cold, gray sky. Another day of damp, heavy air weighing down my soul. Would we ever again see the sun?
Civil disobedience and civil servants met on a late Friday afternoon a few weeks ago and the meeting was ... civil.
In this fast-paced world, sometimes it is best to slow it down. By "it," I mean the shutter speed of your camera.
It was a sea of red up and down the streets of St. Louis.
Pairs of piercing eyes sometimes visit me in my dreams. They burn in my mind though more than a month has passed since my encounter with the wild horses of Shannon County.
Up to five small bands of wild horses roam parts of Shannon County north and east of Eminence, according to Jim Smith, a member of the Missouri Wild Horse League and owner of Cross Country Trail Ride.
That wascally wabbit. What was it up to?
Road trips are a favorite activity of mine. I enjoy just hopping into my car and driving, not having a destination in mind or knowing where I will end up.
Sitting on the banks of the Jacks Fork River under my favorite sycamore tree, I admired its beautiful leaves as the sun filtered through them. It was my favorite tree only because I had to be canoeing to see it -- the spot where it stood was only accessible by water.
Recently, I braved the rain to see what was happening at the Gray/Campbell Farmstead.
Two young brothers rolled jubilantly down a small grassy incline along Grand Street, doing what children do, making their own fun while awaiting the Labor Day Parade.
Making interesting and different images of sporting events can be a real challenge.
Last weekend my husband, Jamie, and I explored Busiek State Forest and Wildlife Area.
I soiled myself and thoroughly enjoyed it.
About this time of year, when I look over a rural valley and the humidity seems to hang like a blue haze, I often recall one of my most memorable visits to the Ozarks hills.
The anticipation grew as steadily as the line for the ride "Enterprise," which had been shut down all day for repairs.
One of the best parts of living in Springfield is the number of nearby Ozarks destinations. Every time we get a chance, my husband, Jamie, and I pick a new place to explore. Recently, we wound up at Roaring River State Park.
The saying "One man's trash is another man's treasure" applies to the animal world as well.
Traipsing through the woods on the bank of the Jacks Fork River looking for firewood, I spied a spider instead -- so itsy-bitsy it was hard to see.
There is nothing more Americana than a child's lemonade stand open for business on a hot summer day.
It seems that Betty Ford meant different things to different people. Her passing last week has brought attention that shows she was universally accepted as a unique first lady. Outspoken in her beliefs, she opened doors to subjects not usually in the comfort zone at the time. Today her social platform would find itself squarely in the opposite political camp. For me she brings back another, more youthful set of memories.
The Fourth of July was always my dad's holiday. He was adamant that there was no fireworks show better than Tulsa's Boom River (which has since been renamed ONEOK Freedom Festival).
In the dark I can hear the waters of Lake Taneycomo. Its swift currents below Table Rock Dam flow like a river. Its cold water has lured trout fisherman since before the dawn.
I enjoy the wildlife that lives in my south Springfield neighborhood. I have the usual rabbits but have seen opossums, an occasional hawk, and last year a pair of ducks had taken up temporary residence in my neighbor's yard.
Earlier this month, I was photographing a man in Joplin who lost his job at Greenbriar Nursing Home after the May 22 tornado, when we heard piano music.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Bluegills are about the coolest un-cool fish on the planet.
There, I've said it. Yes, the same guy who has caught steelhead in Alaska, redfish in Florida, bass in North Carolina and trout throughout most of the Rocky Mountains is, and shall remain, an unabashed fan of the lowly bluegill.
I like bluegills because they're generous.
When bass have lockjaw and trout are being snooty, bluegills cooperate. When fishing for one of the glamor species involves a lengthy road trip, bluegills are just minutes away. When weather conditions are less than ideal, bluegills put on slickers and weather the storm.
Granted, bluegills aren't top-end predators like muskies or largemouth bass. In fact, bluegills occupy a spot only a few rungs off the bottom of the food-chain ladder.
Creatures toward the lower end of the food chain tend to 1.) be small; 2.) be abundant; 3.) get eaten by larger creatures; and 4.) feed opportunistically on even smaller creatures.
Bluegills exhibit all those characteristics, and therein lies part of their charm.
Let's address size. Yes, bluegills tend to run small. If one tips the scale at just 1 pound or more, it qualifies for a Division of Natural Resources Trophy Fish Citation. But what 'gills lack in size they make up for in spunk.
Their flattened, oval-shaped bodies help them seem much larger than they are. When hooked, they turn their bodies in a way that makes them difficult to reel straight in. A couple of years ago, I hooked a 9-inch bluegill and a 13-inch bass on consecutive casts, and I sincerely believe the bluegill put up the better fight.

bucfan82 sounds like my wife.......I'm a treanch guy and spelling is a who cares thing. As long as I can make out the words and they report what I need to know I'm good.
Anyway, what was the article about.....oh yeah...Manning.
Well I live in COLTS country so I know a lot about the guy. We should be wary...he is smooth, slick and will thrust a dagger in your heart ay any time.
Best thing we can do is keep him on the bench somehow...maybe the Doughernauht...(who the heck knows how to spell that one) can run for 250 yards in steady 5 yard carries and we control the clock for the whole game?? Would keep our vaunted secondary om the sidelines too.
Hey, I like that game plan. No way it would work but it sounds good.
Really we need to play BUC ball, score points (TD's please, FG's get us beat, ie. Atlanta game) and hold fast. Need McCoy to have 3 sacks on 3rd downs to put Manning on the bench and bring out our offense.
(I'm still whinning over last week sorry we should have won that one)
We need this win badly if we are to show everyone we deserve to be in the "P" word thinggy..
I really would like to see this team make it, we are dangerous. But alas our secondary God Love Them will have to find a way to stop some really good folks....and really soon too.

Charleston Catholic really wasn't seeking revenge against Poca for the Dots' upset of the Irish in last year's girls soccer sectional. For one thing, a lot of today's Irish players weren't involved last year.
They were in middle school.
Freshmen accounted for 11 goals Wednesday night in Catholic's 12-2 rout of the Dots at The Fields at Trace Fork. Speedy Catherine Dundervill led the way with four goals, with Payton Mullen, Sophie Bumgarner and Peyton Keener scoring twice. Sarah Fox added one, and Hannah George scored one for the senior class.
The young Irish (14-5-2) captured the Class AA-A Region 4 Section 2 championship and will play for the region championship at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Ripley High against the Section 1 champ, either Sissonville or Herbert Hoover.
"It has been a nice combination with our veterans, with our freshmen," said Catholic coach Amy Mullen. "It has been favorable to our games."
The Dots put up a good challenge in the first 20 minutes, tying the game at 1 on a Harley Hutchins goal off a rebound in the 11th minute. Dundervill, who shook off a rash of early offsides infractions, had opened the scoring off a strong run.
In the 23rd minute, the Irish took the lead on a Payton Mullen penalty kick. Three minutes later Bumgarner sneaked a lob shot over Poca goalkeeper Autumn Williams to make it 3-1.
Then the floodgates blew open. Payton Mullen in the 30th minute, Keener in the 32nd, Dundervill in the 33rd, Keener in the 34th, and Dundervill and Fox in the 38th, Fox on a penalty kick to provide a 9-2 halftime lead. Poca scored in the 35th minute on a Marissa Perkins penalty kick.

Diner Reviews
My group was there right at
opening time on an afternoon, so there wasn't much of a crowd. The setup of the restaurant look very accomodating to a large crowd that can easily socialize. There are two bars (front and back) and fit for live entertainment. I would love to experience the atmophere again during prime time."
Dined on 2/8/2014
Overall a good experience. From a
staffing perspective they knew ahead of time that it was a "designated" gathering point for Broncos Fans (they had banners out front) and were woefully understaffed for the crowd. I'd even say they were understaffed for a normal weekend."
Dined on 2/1/2014
Reservation was not honored --
claimed computer problems. They offered a free round of drinks but said we would have to wait at least an hour for our table. We left -- so no basis for the food rating."
Dined on 1/31/2014
First time here because it
appeared to be somewhat ok for business lunch, but it was not that. The ambiance was not welcoming. Service persons were nice. But the food was nothing to be raving about. My burger was not done medium rare, and unappetizing. And the bun was breaking apart...either bad bread or old. Either way, I was not excited about the fanfare. I met a colleague to discuss work but the way the place is constructed, there is lot of noise that travels and bounced, like echo. I also sat next to group of guys so it could be. But I have been around lot of restaurants and the noise level is actually due to the construction of the place. Try a different place."
Dined on 1/13/2014
Good casual meal served
efficiently - good bar and plenty of TV's as well."
Dined on 1/6/2014
My waiter was Petie. At about 9:15
I was told that a bachelor party was scheduled for 9:30. I would have liked to have been notified when I was seated. Then a host asked if we would like to continue our dining experience in the bar area. We declined and settled our check. The service was ok. The lamb sliders and fries were great!"
Dined on 12/13/2013
I LOVE that it's the official
Broncos Bar in NYC. Being from Denver originally, I love going to Butterfield 8 and seeing the Denver Broncos play among other fans. Plus, they have a great deal during Broncos games, $30 gets you all you can eat wings and all you can drink Bud Light. The only downside is that service was VERY slow during the game. I don't understand how you can call yourself the official Broncos bar and yet be short or understaffed for the Bronco game! We had a party of 7 and our meals all came out at different times, we had a hard time getting refills and eventually had to just go to the bar to get a drink. We'll be back, but it's because we love to watch the Broncos among our people and we love the wing/beer special."
Dined on 12/8/2013
Our favorite is popcorn shrimp,
also the seared tuna. The service is always excellent, attentive, and the kitchen is flexible - they can mix or add or replace , the way we want.."
Dined on 12/1/2013
Go with colleagues if you have
nothing important to talk about because the music will be blaring and you will scream at each other for an hour."
Dined on 10/8/2013
For those familiar with San
Francisco and its plethora of bar & grills, then I'd say this is a bar & grill wannabe. Walk in and the decor -- dark wood floors and banquet booths -- and ambience give the vibe of cool Americana bar and grill. I've been here twice for lunch, and I only wish the food lived up to my expectation. On this trip I had the tuna, which I ordered medium. Didn't matter. The rare interior of the fish, which I wanted, was a strip of mushy fish that lacked any flavor or texture. I tasted my friend's tater tots. Could not tell the difference between the supermarket Ore-Ida's. In fact, I think the frozen supermarket variety were better. If the food quality improved, I'd be here all the time."
Dined on 10/21/2013
4 out of 5 meals were brought out
cold or undercooked. They were out of a lot of key ingredients limiting the menu. Finally took our server 3 tries to bring out a correct bill."
Dined on 10/14/2013
This was always a favorite for
watching Broncos games. I had always requested a booth for the games, but this time I was denied a booth and sat in the back room even though booths were still open. Our server had a horrible attitude and she did not want to be there. We ordered food, wine and beer and they were out of all three items we chose of the menu. Everytime we needed something we had to get up from our table and find our server. I guess we will find a new place to watch football."
Dined on 10/13/2013
Went for business lunch during the
week. There was only one server for the entire back room who was not a good server to begin with. We ordered salads, which were nothing special, nachos which came out burnt, and the tuna with wasabi mashed potatoes which were so spicy they were nearly impossible to eat. All in all, a very poor 2-hour dining experience."
Dined on 9/17/2013
Service and food was very good.
Had a biz lunch for 4 of us .... not very expensive, but reasonable prices on a typical bar pub menu."
Dined on 9/3/2013
The crab cake was delicious
although I had to be escorted through the crowd to get to the seating area. The bar was so loud there was no chance for dinner conversation."
Dined on 8/22/2013
I caught up with a friend and
decided on this establishment due to the close proximity to Grand Central Terminal. We both enjoyed our mahi-mahi sandwich and cocktails."
Dined on 7/31/2013
It's a great location and nice
decor but not suitable for a business lunch. Too loud and staff was inattentive."
Dined on 7/26/2013
terrible service., terrible skirt
steak, no attention to detail, out of many items on the menu, desserts were awful. The appetizers were good tasting. It was my birthday dinner and it was not a happy occasion, I left very disappointed and then we had to go somewhere else for dessert."
Dined on 7/4/2013
HH draws the crowd here on a
Thursday- however, it's very noisy if you want to have a meal. The layout of the restaurant has the tables right along the bar, which makes it almost impossible to have a conversation with your neighbor. Do not recommend as a date spot, but definetly good for groups. Scallops were delicious and cooked perfectly"
Dined on 6/28/2013
Restaurant food is ok, but it is
really noisy during lunch and as a result not a good place to go if you want to talk to the people you're with."
Dined on 6/18/2013
went to the one in White Plains
and thought this Butterfield8 might be similar. Was not at all kid friendly and very loud. Dining room pricing in a loud PUB environment. Not a good place for conversation. waitress was cordial but was clearly rushed and overwhelmed. Waitress recommends a white wine, brings red, then informs me the one she recommended is not available. The 10$ glass of wine was still on the check. Vents were blowing really cold air. Asked that they turn it down but we left pretty quickly because it was so cold. people at the table next to us were also very cold."
Dined on 5/17/2013
A great spot for meeting
colleagues for lunch - super friendly atmosphere"
Dined on 5/14/2013
The Summer in the City cocktail is
great. Mac and Cheese squares were tasty. Salads were mediocre."
Dined on 5/10/2013
Good food, friendly and
professional waitstaff. Good place for lunch near the library."
Dined on 5/10/2013
Tucked away - but in a good way-
for a decent lunch that doesn't break the bank. Food decent, and excellent service with personable waitstaff and warm inviting decor make for a perfect lunch spot."
Dined on 5/3/2013
Nice atmosphere, friendly service.
Tasty appetizers, burgers and salads. Fresh and nice-sized portions."
Dined on 4/11/2013
Music this loud is fit for
danceclubs, not restaurants! Quite unpleasant for dining, even when we moved to the back room."
Dined on 4/4/2013
The place is nice. Even though the
music was pretty loud, it was good music, so it made up for it. It did take awhile for our waitress to come to even greet us, but the place was also very packed, since it was happy hour. The food was definitely yummy and the drinks were delicious once we finally got to order. I'd go again in the near future."
Dined on 3/14/2013
awful awful awful- waitress messed
up the order- most likely sis not place our order , that's why we waited over an hour for truly horrific food-never again"

About 50 Delta County children and their families may not know it, but they are leaders on the cutting edge of a growing national trend aimed at building successful families and stronger communities.
Those 50 children and their families, located across the county and in every one of its communities, are participating in the Families Plus program.
Also known as All American Families Plus, the program is a unique, private enterprise initiative which from its beginnings 13 years ago now builds individually tailored, community-based "systems of care" that encourage and provide guidance for behaviorally challenged youth and their families.
"Delta County is truly ahead of its time," explains Brenda Holland, a local psychologist who serves as executive director of Families Plus. "We are doing something that the rest of the nation, and the state, are just coming around to."
Holland is referring to the program's child-centered, community-based system of care model that works to address a child's behavioral issues in the wider context of family and community settings.
Working with their primary focus on children from pre-school age to early adolescent, professional counselors who work with the program build a network
of family and neighbor volunteers who become, literally, an extended family for the child and his family. The community-based network thus created expands to include teachers and other "mentors" in the child's life.
While at all times maintaining the primary role of the child's natural parents and family in his life, the volunteer members of this social network make themselves available to assist, encourage, and support the child and his family in every area of personal and social development and health. The presence and role of the natural family is primary, and the parents' role and contribution to the family is always honored.
"Many of the families and children we work with come from low resource environments," Holland explains. "So often times they lack the kinds of social support that
other children may have for overcoming even the normal challenges that everyone faces when growing up."
Repeated failure for any reason in overcoming the challenges of life can lead very quickly to problems of social adjustment and behavioral issues for a child that even parents aren't equipped to deal with.
That is where the Families Plus social network model proves its worth. The Families Plus program can provide reliable, positive, ongoing interaction and support in a child's social environment, particularly through the involvement of the volunteer mentoring family. In addition to that, there is regular oversight with professional involvement including evaluation, testing, and monitoring of grades. That level of involvement creates an objective data set which shows that the program is working in local lives. "Ninety-five percent of our children attained a C average or better last school year," Holland says.
The Families Plus community systems of care model reaches far deeper into the social interactions forming a child's self image and behavior than
occasional individual sessions with a counselor ever could. In doing so, regular interactions with volunteer mentors make positive contributions to an intact family that may be struggling with persistent challenges. The family structure is strengthened. By strengthening the family structure, Families Plus helps build stronger communities. The model is a network of mutually supporting elements that is based on community while helping build community, And at the center of it all is the goal of success and health for an individual child.
The volunteers who provide mentoring for these children who face persistent challenges are the program's essential link between the child and the community that cares about him. Those volunteers come from the community itself. Holland says, the Delta County community is simply "amazing" in the ability and willingness of its people to bring resourceful caring into the lives of children and families.
"This isn't just a three-year program, and then it ends. Most people want to stay involved with the child once they have the relationship established," Holland said. "These family mentoring relationships usually become lifetime involvements and friendships."
The Families Plus mentors are recruited from community service organizations and churches across the county. They are everyday people just like anyone's neighbors, but they are people with very special, remarkably caring attitudes. "We just can't say enough to thank our volunteers for what they do," Holland says.
In addition to being a home-grown program whose focus is local youth, Families Plus is governed by a local board of directors with members from around the county providing guidance and oversight.
Financial support for the non-profit Families Plus program comes from a number of sources that include private foundations, along with most important contributions from local organizations, businesses, churches, and individuals. Holland says that some remarkable generous mentors have even taken the extraordinary step of establishing a college fund for their young Families Plus friend.

Just read it.
Thank you, Deborah!
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
You have to love that a guy in a cow suit was going around a Walmart, on all fours, and nobody there saw anything unusual in this.
At least he was creative...
How do they know it's not his?
If this isn't a sign of the desperation of these times I don't know what is. There are a lot of things to steal in Wal Mart, but when people are stealing basic foods, I think America and Americans should re-evaluate who they call 3rd world.
Does not compute. 26 gallons of milk at 8+ lbs. a gallon = 208 lbs. so the guy hid 208 lbs of milk in his costume???
@ The Sornton Man:
It was Walmart, not Bloomingdales or Albertsons...
you know, the same place that has a 70 year old woman wearing pants pulled up over the boobage (no shirt, no bra) and buying groceries...
you know, the same place that has "Touch This" on the back ass end of a heavy set woman with plumber's crack showing...
not sure why anyone would think this is out of the norm for Walmart...
I bet this guy needs a neurologist...just say'in...
Holy Cow!!!
Errrg, this happened right down the street from where I live... I would just like to say that not all of us are like this. I find it surprising, Stafford isn't a cheap place to live. I assume this was some kid in high school having fun and going to jail for it.
hahaha milk maid?:)
