A word from Italian Kitchen - Vancouver
A spectacular newcomer to Vancouver's prolific restaurant scene, Italian Kitchen arrives in the vibrant downtown neighborhood. Italian Kitchen features a multi-regional modern Italian menu dished up in ultra-sleek surroundings. Guests will delight with warm wheels of handcrafted pizza, peerless antipasto platters, creative pastas and dry-aged steaks. The 60-foot white marble 'DOC' bar serves classic cocktails with a new-age kick and a glass-walled wine cellar is stocked with predictably excellent Italian vintages with New and Old World offerings.Continued

- Nice but super noisy and crowdedFoodieloverDined on 8/31/2014Nice italian food at a reasonable price however a super noisy restaurant (and crowded) so keep that in mind. Last time I feel that our server had a few too many tables to look after and we had to keep asking for water and spoons etc that never came but overall it's a pretty trendy and well run restaurant.Special Features:
- Dinning upstairsOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/30/2014We were greeted by a hostess who didn't welcome us. Perhaps, a warm smile would have been nice. She took us upstairs where we smelled urine by the bathroom. Yikes!!! We were seatted at the round table which was alright but we noticed when the same hostess brought other guests she asked them where they would like to seat by giving them a choice which she never offered us. We have been to this restaurant numerous times but it was our first time dinning upstairs. Please let the management know the guy who walks around the table to see how far along guests are with their meals to be little more discreet talking to his microphone. It was very rude of him walking around every 5 minutes and we felt like we had to rush our dinner.Special Features:
- Bad seating arrangementOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/29/2014We booked three days ago for two, the restaurant was not even full the entire time we were there, but we got seated at a corner with the two of us facing the wall, my girl friend's back is almost hitting the other customer not the other side. I can understand if they are full but not when it is half empty.
- Would and Have Returned Many Times!dgaylelDined on 8/26/2014This time we sat upstairs. Enjoyed the quieter environment and the window table on a beautiful sunny evening. Ordered the Ravioli of the Day option (Cheese ravioli, prawns with cream sauce). Delicious! The donuts for dessert, Mouthwatering and sharable. Excellent serving staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food and ServiceBobbyPDined on 8/25/2014This is a popular hot spot that many go to if they are Downtown and are looking for decent Italian food coupled with good service and nice surroundings. I wouldn't say it's the best Italian food in the area but still above average. While the prices are on the higher side, the shared plates are a good deal since they provide you the chance to sample a range of their dishes. Like the other Global-owned restaurants, the only downside is the noise level can get pretty high so if you're sensitive to noise or want to have a nice quiet meal with your significant other or friends be forewarned. Reservations is a must as this place can get quite busy.Special Features:
- Quite DisappointingBozpoonVIPDined on 8/25/2014I had some very important guests coming from Shanghai - two CEOs of two international companies. They wanted Italian food. I thought the Glowbal Group should be able to provide us an excellent dinning experience. Service wise. Not bad, but definitely has room to improve. The waitress of our table forgot my order of apple juice for approx. 20 mins, and forgot to get my coffee towards the end. Food and drink wise. Wine was good. My guests were happy with the collection. However, food wasn't authentic enough. The pizza was thick, North American style. Veal was really dry. And the texture of the pasta doesn't seems to be freshly made. Overall taste was too bland. My guests were disappointed. We didn't get the taste of Italy afterall.Special Features:
- Fantastic!PickyeaterDined on 8/22/2014What a fantastic place that can meet any dietary restrictions you may have and still be yummy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodCaysDined on 8/20/2014We were still hungry after our meal but the food was good. It was a little too loud inside but that's just the way it us. Service was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- StaffGoodstaffDined on 8/17/2014The staff here were very good. I appreciate the attentivenessI would recommend this to a friend.
- usually betterHomeSliceDined on 8/13/2014Got a corner table since lunch was so busy - not the best spot. Food was solid but salad not as crisp as usualSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant experience every timeGot2eatDined on 8/9/2014The Italian Kitchen has become one of our family favourite go- to restaurants for special occasions or just to have a treat. Food is great and the service is always good. It's a bonus that we can reserve online using Open Table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely ambienceTinaDined on 8/7/2014Attentive service and consistently good food. A great place to sit at the bar and enjoy a glass of wine and a small bite, or to enjoy a romantic meal at a table. The service is always attentive!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/6/2014Loved it! Our server was fantastic! Fast, knowledgeable, engaging.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Con911Dined on 7/31/2014Anika was amazing :) the service and level of satisfaction was greatSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RozmeDined on 7/30/2014This was my 2nd lunch at Italian Kitchen. My most recent lunch was mediocre at best. The pasta was stiff and the gratin was overcooked. The vegetables in the dish were more of a garnish than an integral part of the dish. The salad greens didn't look the freshest, and the dressing was rather acidic. Overall, the food was a disappointment. The waiter did not come by to offer fresh black pepper for my pasta dish. On a positive note, the meal was concluded in about 45 mintues, so it was a quick weekday lunch.
- Out of lasagnagreatlunchVIPDined on 7/29/2014I went there for a business lunch and at 12:30pm on a Tuesday the restaurant was out of their signature lasagna dish. I ordered the penne and enjoyed the food the service and the ambience. The appetizer was excellent and so was my cappuccino. However not having a lasagna left at 12:30pm left a bitter taste in my mouth.Special Features:
- Consistently good experienceSeafoodloverVIPDined on 7/21/2014Chose their risotto feature, after asking the server what she would choose, between that & the ravioli feature. And she didn't steer us wrong. The risotto had lobster & pancetta, & was cooked perfectly. She, & other wait staff, came by to refill our waters frequently, & check on how we were doing. All-in-all, another successful trip to IK. I will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- excellentkateDined on 7/19/2014We arrived early for our reservation and were lucky to grab a seat at the bar where we ended up choosing to stay for dinner. The action in the open kitchen was fun to watch and the food and service was fantastic! This was our third time dining here and we will absolutely be back next time we are in Vancouver. The spaghetti and meatball is beyond worth it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good deals during happy hourOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/16/2014We got two appetizers and got our 2nd entree for free. Plus up until 6pm happy hour drinks were $5.00. The food was delicious and the service was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Server was too invasiveOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/14/2014Food was okay but nothing special. Food order was messed up and not worth the price.
- The noisiest establishment ever!DinerDameVIPDined on 7/12/2014The first floor featured pounding loud music, we were escorted upstairs to an extremely loud (concert-like) scene, where people are packed like sardines into a small room with no AC. We were given a 2x2 table and 2x1 hardcover menus. Due to lack a space the guy next to us accidentally set his menu on fire with the little candle on the table. There were also 2 bachelorette parties in the room... Oh the screeching! It was too late to get reservations elsewhere, so we quickly ate a main course and left. The food was great and the staff was fantastic! I wouldn't recommend this for dinner. But it's perfect for a bachelorette party :). Maybe try it at 5pm on a Tuesday night :)Special Features:
- Bad service along with average foodBaBaDined on 7/12/2014I had been to Black and Blue, Coast, and Glowbal restaurants a few times with good experiences. Since Italian Kitchen is part of the Glowbal collection, I would expect similar experience but I was so wrong. When my wife and I walk in front of the reception desk waiting first in line (nobody was there and no one was waiting), by the time receptionist came, there's another guy waiting behind us. Not only the receptionist treated us like invisible beings, she greeted the guy and took him to a table. Then we waited and she didn't come back. Another receptionist came and when we expressed our incident, she apologized but that's it. It's at 12:30 pm on July 12th. She is a big Caucasian lady with long black dye hair.
- Great patio dinner!FoodjunkieVIPDined on 7/10/2014A beautiful VANCOUVER evening on the patio with good food! We were craving cacio pepe which thankfully the chef was able to make. It was delicious and noteworthy. It was delightful to see Claire back on Alberni after her various stints elsewhere post Coast. Guests will be assured an excellent dining experience with her at the helm. The wine list could use some tweaking but overall it's a good list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food underparJacquesVIPDined on 7/9/2014The calamari was quite good, but the main courses were unfortunately not very good. Pasta too rich and difficult to digest, a veal scaloppini was tough and too thick. We would like to be more positive since they were more than accommodating in bringing new dishes to try and satisfy us, but they just did not do the job. Great attitude, atmosphere but poor food!
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/8/2014Appies and Pasta are usually very consistent. The appies special in the sampling size was excellent. Unfortunately one of the pasta and a pizza we ordered were extremely salty. We didn't want to be rude, so we just ate half of them and did not send it back. I would recommend this place, hopefully it won't be as salty next timeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall experienceGigiDined on 7/8/2014Ambience was good for the type of Italian Cuisine however arugula & beets salad was not as fresh as I expected as I can find yellow leaves & already cut beets from couple days ago. Meatball spaghetti was OK, is just the sauce was a bit salty. I'm not a picky eater however for the price they're charging I expected a higher quality product.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always consistentFoodloverDined on 7/6/2014As with all the Glowbal restaurants, you can always count on great food and great service.Special Features:
- Great Food and Service!sbomDined on 7/6/2014The food was fantastic! We were a party of four. Two of us had the special (smoked bacon ravioli with salmon and lemon cream sauce). And two of us had the pasta sample platter. We were also debating about ordering a side of meatballs to start and decided to skip it and order calamari instead. Our waitress brought out a plate, on her, so we could try them. I can't remember her name, but she was very helpful and friendly, and helped make it a great experience. We'll definitely be going back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/5/2014First time we were in the Italian Kitchen and my only comment would be we found it a bit noisy - other than that it was a great meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently good 🍷LuvItalianVIPDined on 7/4/2014Daniel (our waiter) was professional & efficient...⭐Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place for late night ItalianOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 6/30/2014Needed a place for a late night dinner with the family since we were staying downtown. The food was very good but what made this an excellent dining experience was the service. We were very well taken care of and even the little ones were entertained by the excellent staff. They also made sure that the little ones received the drinks that they wanted.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not the bestmarmurDined on 6/30/2014I have been to The Italian Kitchen many times, this trip was by far the worst... I took a friend for a birthday dinner, it was early in the even so not so busy. I was expecting a special dinner as I had enjoyed here in the past. My friend had not been to the Italian Kitchen so it seemed like a good choice. The server was a bit bossy but tried... seemed to be having issues, took forever to get a glass of wine, spilled coffee on the table, etc. So service was not good and it just seemed off. The dinner was good but late, my entree was a bit cold so had been sitting waiting to be served. The Creme Brulee was burnt and lumpy and not made properly. For the price, they need to be better.
- A nice brunchhappydinerVIPDined on 6/28/2014We came for a Saturday brunch and were seated immediately. We liked the variety on the menu and the service was attentive. The pasta, pizza and egg tangine was delicious and hot. The restaurant was busy and some what noisy and the tables seemed too close but the food and libations were very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food & Excellent ServiceshomechefvincentDined on 6/27/2014The location is in the heart of downtown Vancouver. The waiters are attentive and the food is good. Portion is larger than average. Will come back again for more.Special Features:
- Great for LunchGTAfoodieDined on 6/24/2014Met with clients when I was in town and the over ambiance was good, food was good, the service was good but the noise level made it a bit difficult to hear each other. I would definitely come back for lunch and dinner but not for a business meeting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good comfort foodDedeDined on 6/22/2014This is a nice place. The spaghetti and meatballs were very good, not outstanding . My husband had pork chops which he enjoyed. The ambience was cozy and not too noisy. Wait staff was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I used to like this place...FoodenthusiastDined on 6/17/2014Terrible service. The waiter even forgot to bring our wine to our table.. The "sandwich" meats were old and stale-ish. The noise level was horrible, we had to almost yell at each other.. Plus, our table was wobbly.. When this place first opened, I LOVED IT, now I shall never return...
- SieglindeVIPDined on 6/13/2014Appetizer of clams and mussels were great, nice sauce, but had to ask for some bread for dipping. The pasta entrees were very large and could have been shared between two large eaters. The scallops were great, but only 5 of them for $32.00, not a great deal. Wine list is good with options on lower priced or higher wines. Overall most food prices were overpriced but the atmosphere was lively.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic!hrcnvDined on 6/7/2014My girlfriend and I were both craving Italian food, and immediately the Italian Kitchen came to mind. I especially was craving their Paparadelle dish with lamb. Upon arrival, we were smart enough to make a reservation before hand so there was no waiting on our part. We were seated immediately on the upper level, in a quiet corner. Unfortunately due to the fact that they had a large party so we were moved to a better spot, which was closer to the window. Because of the move, the restaurant manager told us that the desserts would be on the house because of the possible inconvenience to move may have had on us. Long story short, the food was absolutely amazing, the service was just fantastic, the ambiance, again, fantastic. Overall, amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing waiterpastaloverDined on 6/7/2014We have been to Italian Kitchen many times before. We have never been disappointed. The pasta platter for 2 is a great option. The kids menu has some great gourmet but kid friendly items. Our youngest son (12) always gets the steak. The service is always excellent. This is our number one choice for family celebrations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Though the Cowboys appear poised to continue their tumble that would be a mistaken assumption. The Panthers have lost three straight to the 'Boys and they seem to have the type of game that plays to the Panthers weaknesses.
#1: They run the ball well
Game Balls: Dallas Cowboys Vs. Baltimore Ravens - Blogging The Boys
Improvements in the guard play had a lot to do with the success of the running game. Nate Livings looked dominating and powerful nearly the entire game. He managed to keep his balance and didn't get caught reaching or overextending. Mackenzy Bernadeau played his best game as a Dallas Cowboy. This is a big and powerful offensive line that is beginning to find their identity. If the Cowboys can block like this more often, then they will be a lot more dangerous offensively.
So we get to line up on the guy we used to call the 'turnstile' in Bernadeau. I think it might be pretty telling if we fail to get pressure up the middle against them. I'm really hate seeing players that we jettison then look really good somewhere else. I'm not predicting that for MacBern but he is still starting in Dallas.
The only saving grace here is DeMarco Murray will likely miss the game. That means Felix Jones will most likely get the majority of carries and though he has some speed he is coming off of injury himself. He did look good this past Sunday so maybe he is finally 100%.
#2: They have a big, physical WR:
Dez had a great game statistically (13 catches for 95 yards and two touchdowns) and he was involved in the game from the beginning to the end. Bryant is such a difficult receiver to bring down and his pure strength allowed him to break tackles and make plays that kept the Cowboys in the game.
The fade pattern and back shoulder throw to Bryant are nearly impossible to stop, unless Dez drops it. Unfortunately for Bryant and the Cowboys, that is the play that people will talk about and remember.
Think about how Ramses Barden and Roddy White had their way with our secondary and you see why Bryant concerns me. We have to get pressure on Romo to rattle him or he can get hot and kill us.
#3: They can rush the passer
DeMarcus Ware...do I really need to say much more here? He's tied for 4th in sacks with 6.0 and is showing no signs of slowing down.
I'm not exactly confident that the Panthers used the bye week to better prepare for the Cowboys.

Eagles WR DeSean Jackson passed the Eagles' post-concussion test on Monday and spoke publicly for the first time Tuesday about the hit that knocked him out in Week Six.
Jackson said it felt like he "was in a car accident," on Comcast SportsNet's Daily News Live. He said he lost consciousness for "a couple of minutes." Jackson was on the receiving end of a violent hit from Falcons CB Dunta Robinson that knocked them both out of the game, and Jackson also missed Week Seven's loss to the Titans. Robinson was fined $50,000 for the hit.
The Eagles have a bye this Sunday before returning to action in Week Nine against the Colts. "I look forward to be playing," Jackson said.
The third-year player has 19 catches for 395 yards and three TDs this season. He still needs to undergo tests from an independent neurologist before being cleared to play.
The way we see it
It's good news that Jackson himself is confident about playing in Week Nine, and probably helpful the Eagles have a bye this Sunday. After falling to the Titans 37-19 and facing the Colts' offense in Week Nine, they could use Jackson's speed to get back on track.
Fantasy spin
It looks like Jackson should be ready for Week Nine, which means he can re-enter your starting lineups. It will also diminish the fantasy value of WR Jason Avant, who filled in for Jackson.

The Midpoint Bridge has reopened to traffic after an early morning accident involving three vehicles shut down both sides of the bridge.
According to the Fort Myers Police Department, the accident happened around 4:00 a.m. at Colonial Boulevard and Via Royale.
They say a Toyota pickup truck traveling east on the Midpoint Bridge, just east of the McGregor Boulevard overpass, hit a puddle and fishtailed, losing control and striking a utility pole and several trees.
The utility pole fell across both eastbound lanes of the road.
A second truck then lost control after attempting to brake to avoid hitting the pole, but ultimately hit the pole and trees.
A car then drove over the utility pole.
FMPD says there were only minor injuries to two of the drivers and they believe the crash was weather related.
Both sides of the bridge were shut down for a short time, but the westbound lanes reopened to traffic quickly.
Once crews removed and replace the utility pole and tow trucks removed the vehicles from the scene, police were able to open the eastbound lanes before the morning commute.

I've been waiting for this to show up online for a while now. It's Giraffes!, the sequel to Sloths!, my favorite SNL digital short of all time (which I've also included after the jump). It doesn't quite live up to the original, but then, what does?
On an unrelated note, I wonder if Kristen Wiig likes to snuggle. I bet she does. I bet she's really nice to animals, too.

One of the amazing parts of conversations with retiring teachers is hearing stories about the non-curricular areas they helped to sponsor or coach. It is not uncommon for 40-year veterans to list 10 or more activities, both paid and unpaid.
Educators understand the value these programs have for the success of their students. Our principal frequently reminds the student body that there are extra and co-curricular programs for everyone at Chesterton High School and that there is no excuse not to get involved.
Many Chesterton High seniors understand this message, and next year we will see students heading off to Harvard, Columbia, Penn, the U.S. Naval Academy, and possibly MIT, West Point and the Air Force Academy, as other seniors wait on decisions. For those at the top of the academic rankings, extra and co-curricular participation is a given.
You have to go well down the class rankings to find a student not involved in sports, clubs, musical groups, plays, student government, speech and debate, or one of myriad other activities offered at Chesterton High.
For those at-risk students, however, participation in an extra or co-curricular activity can be a lifeline that ties them to the school in a way that leads to a diploma and much more. Besides the fact that students must have a passing grade in at least five classes in order to participate, extra-curricular activities can keep students interested enough to hang around school until they realize the importance of a high school diploma. In the meantime, these teenagers are kept off the streets after school and become part of something that is bigger than themselves or their circumstances. Ultimately, these clubs and activities can serve as a springboard to expose the country's most valuable assets, our children, to skills, ideas, and situations that will help to guide them throughout adulthood.
It is the job of educators to enable these students to get involved in extra-curricular activities that can inspire them to fulfill their potential. One of the most successful programs at CHS is our Bridges program, which essentially takes the 10 percent of incoming ninth graders deemed most at risk of not graduating and gives them extra help and encouragement, including a deliberate push to get involved in extra and co-curricular activities. Two of the Bridges students joined our highly successful Speech and Debate program, and this year were two of our five national qualifiers.
Teachers, administrators, and students believe in the impact that programs at Chesterton High School can have on our students. It is not uncommon for staff members to escort students to our coaches and sponsors for an introduction, encouraging these young people to sign up and commit to a program that could be the exact motivation to stay in school, obtain that diploma, and move on to bigger and better things.

Police are offering a $1,000 reward for information about an armed robber who held up a man walking his dog late last month in west suburban Naperville.
The victim was walking his dog in the 600 block of Porter Avenue about 5:50 p.m. Nov. 30 when the male suspect asked him for directions, a statement from police said.
After getting directions, the suspect pulled out a black semiautomatic handgun and demanded the man's cell phone and cash, police said.
The suspect was not able to get anything, however, and walked away. Police searched the area, but could not find him.
Shown in a sketch released by police, the suspect was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, jeans and dark gym shoes, police said.
Anyone with information should call Naperville police or Crime Stoppers. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and are eligible for the $1,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.

The ship is beautiful and well planned we had no trouble getting around at all.
The shows were great and the Cruise director Butch and baby Butch were wonderful. We participated in the team contest and won a trophy for decorating our door and since we don't live together he was great about getting us another one so we could both have one.
The food was very good and our service was great I enjoyed dancing with our waiter Alvin.
The last cruise I was on was to the eastern caribbean and I believe I enjoyd those pors ov call better than these.
At Cozumel the winds were too rough for the helmet dive we had scheduled but we were about to book the dolphin experience instead and it was a Dream come true. Other than the weather with the wind being so strong and the tems lower than I would have liked it was enjoyable.
Belize was really interesting we did the Myan ruins and the river wallace and it was neat.
Roatan was different we went to the west end and that was quit an experience the roads are terrable but it was interesting to see.We then went to the beach and hungout for a while.
At Costa Maya we just shoped and it was fun to bargin with the people. Got some good deals.
As for the if I would take this cruise again probably not really like the Eastern better but if I would go on the Dream again Yes it was lots of fun.

Schlegel's (smeagol??) problems in pass coverage
All I could think of was smeagol.
Is that what he's doing now?
I'm not surprised he's having problems with pass coverage.

Jets | Mangini discusses Schlegel's problems in pass coverage
Thu, 24 Aug 2006 01:58:08 -0700
During his press conference, New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini discussed LB Anthony Schlegel's problems in pass coverage. "Its one of those things where sometimes you call a play and you're hoping it will be one match up and they call a formation and it becomes another match up. You have to be able to handle those match ups when they come up. There were times when other guys with 'stiff hips' have covered and played with better technique then Anthony did on that wheel route. The important thing is for him to look at that and understand where he made the mistake, which is something that we covered, so the next time if it does happen just really play to his strengths and understand how he has to play that more specifically and that will help him."

This excellent network of marked trails in the Manteigas area makes the town a great base for hiking. There are 16 routes, all with their own leaflet at the park office in town. You can browse the trails online.
This excellent network of marked trails in the Manteigas area makes the town a great base for hiking. There are 16 routes, all with their own leaflet at the park office in town. You can browse the trails online.
The relatively easy ramble through this magnificent, glacier-scoured valley, one of the park's most beautiful and noteworthy natural features, is a highlight of any trip to Manteigas. Its only drawback: the trail is shadeless and baking in clear summer weather From Manteigas, follow the N338 for 2.
Take a fascinating day trip from Lisbon to the Portuguese towns of Óbidos, Nazaré, Fátima and Batalha. During the day, explore the charming medieval village of Óbidos and learn interesting facts from your local guide. Enjoy lunch (included) in the picturesque fishing village of Nazaré.
Get ready for something novel: for those who believe 'slow is beautiful' this might be your kind of travel – covering 10 to 15 kilometres per day on foot with nothing but you, your walking legs, stunning nature and your, err, burro (donkey) which carries your luggage.
If you've got a vehicle and want a taste of the high country without having to climb on foot from Manteigas, consider this trek through the boulder-strewn hillsides and sheep-grazing meadows between two artificial lakes: the Vale do Rossim reservoir and Lagoa Comprida.
There are several charming walks through the countryside, past ancient monuments and along cobbled lanes trellised with vines. The turismo has literature on routes ranging from 5km to 14km.
Combine a morning sightseeing tour of Lisbon with an afternoon exploring the Estoril Coast, Cascais and the romantic mountainous region of Sintra.
A medium-difficulty walk from Manteigas goes to Penhas Douradas, on a ridge high above. The track climbs northwest out of town via Rua Dr Afonso Costa to join a sealed, switchback forestry road and, briefly, a wide loop of the Seia-bound N232. Branch left off the N232 almost immediately, on another forestry road to the Meteorological Observatory.
If you are going to do anything in Sagres, you must do this – a guided walk around and/or near Sagres and Cabo de São Vicente. The delightful multilingual guide, Ana Carla (she speaks English, French, Spanish and Portuguese) explains the history and other details of the surrounds.
There are several wineries around Reguengos (part of the wine route), including the acclaimed Herdade do Esporão , 7km south of town. The property's border was defined in 1267 and it has vestiges of Roman times. Under the direction of oenologist David Baverstock, it produces a wide variety of wines for the domestic and overseas markets.
On both sides of the Rio Lima you'll find riverside paths. Given the distances it's best to explore them by bike or horse. Rent wheels (per hour €2) at Clube Náutico or at Passeig 25 de April (per hour €2, per day €8) On the right bank the paths follow the river west for 9km to Fontão and east for 8km to the settlement of Refóios do Lima.
Ria Formosa and Lands are highly recommended outfits working under the name Formosamar to genuinely embrace and promote environmentally responsible tourism.

BREAKING: Master Sergeant Christopher Grisham has been found guilty of interfering with police duties, a class B misdemeanor. Grisham could face a possible $2,000 fine and up to 180 days in jail for the offense.
The retrial of Fort Hood soldier C.J. Grisham began Monday after a jury was unable to come to a verdict in the case last month.
Monday, the jury heard two witnesses testify including the Temple police officer who arrested Grisham as well as the woman who made the call to police.
Temple police officer Steve Ermis took the stand to give his account of what he said happened last March when he stopped Grisham and his son after a concerned citizen called police about a man carrying a large black gun on the wrong side of the road.
Ermis testified that he believed Grisham did interfere with police duties when he tried to disarm him of an AR-15 rifle he was carrying while out on a hike with his son for a Boy Scout project. During testimony, the jury in the case also got to see firsthand what actually happened through police dash cam video taken of the incident.
In the video, Ermis is seen approaching Grisham and his son asking the two what they were doing and grabbing the gun off Grisham's chest. Ermis is then heard asking Grisham why he had the gun to which Grisham replied "because I can."
When Ermis tries to disarm Grisham, he reacts by reaching up at the gun while Ermis draws his own pistol and points it at Grisham's head out of what he said was fear for his own safety.
Grisham can then be heard yelling that Ermis can't take his weapon and that he has a concealed carry license and is legally able to have the gun. Ermis then proceeds to take the weapon and gives it to a fellow officer while Grisham is handcuffed and held face down on the hood of the police car.
The video ends with Grisham being detained and the second officer telling Grisham he is being taken into custody for resisting arrest.
That charge was ultimately changed to the current charge of interfering with police duties, and Grisham could face a possible $2,000 fine and up to 180 days in jail for the offense.

Stamford (AP) — Connecticut will begin imposing stiffer penalties against drivers who speed through work zones.
A new requirement will force motorists into a retraining program if they are convicted of endangering a highway worker.
The Advocate of Stamford reports that the endangerment charge is defined as motorists driving more than 75 mph or truckers going faster than 65 mph in a work zone.
Those convicted of the offense also will be subject to a two-point reduction on their driver's license.
The law also commits more than $100,000 a year for state police crackdowns of violations in work zones and other safety initiatives.
The state Department of Transportation plans to measure how long traffic is delayed near work zones to determine how to move traffic more quickly with fewer accidents,

Designing Cities
Phoenix Regional Conference 2013
On October 27-29, 2013, as part of its Designing Cities: Leading the Way to World Class Streets initiative, NACTO headed to the Southwest to host a regional conference in Phoenix, AZ. The conference brought together national and local leaders in transportation, engineering, and design, convening an unparalleled body of expertise and experience drawn from city transportation officials around the nation.
The conference engaged pressing themes in transportation planning and urban design today, including:
- Urban Street Design Standards and Guidance
- Bike Share
- Light Rail Transit, Streetcar, and Bus Rapid Transit
- Economic Impacts of Streetscape Projects
- Pedestrian Safety and Design
- Innovative Project Delivery and Interim Design Strategies
Speakers included:
- Janette Sadik-Khan, New York City Transportation Commissioner
- Greg Stanton, Mayor, City of Phoenix
- Victor Mendez, FHWA Administrator
- Mary Peters, Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation
The Phoenix conference closely followed the official release of the Urban Street Design Guide. The Guide served as a template for the conversations that took place at the conference, leading participants through a discussion of the essential factors of 21st century design and engineering. In addition to these peer-to-peer activities, local transportation officials led walking tours (WalkShops) of major transportation projects throughout the region.
The presentations from the conference breakout sessions are available on NACTO's website, organized by panel session. Visit nacto.org/designing-cities-sessions-2013/.

Cities are at the forefront of innovation — investing in sustainable transportation projects that reimagine and reinvent their streets.

Yes, there's a "Black Friday" effect in today's trading. Consumer discretionary stocks are near the top of the S&P 500 (SPY, IVV) this morning, with a handful of retail-themed exchange-traded funds following suit.
The SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT) is ahead by 0.8%, touching the highest level since Nov. 7. The Consumer Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLY) and the Vanguard Consumer Discretionary Index Fund (VCR) are each up by the same amount to hit levels last seen on Nov. 6.
Some of the good cheer may owe to early indications of strong online sales, though it goes without saying that the benefits would be shared unevenly. From Dow Jones Newswires' Karen Talley:
Online shoppers had another strong showing on Thanksgiving, with Internet sales growing 17.4% from a year ago, IBM says. The number is significant, but less than half the growth rate of 39% seen the year before. Some 82% of online sales were done through PCs, but mobile devices continue making inroads. Sales through smartphones and iPads made up 18.3% of all online sales. Last year's rate was 11%.
If the enthusiasm owes to the early start to holiday sales, my colleague Avi Salzman points out that an early start doesn't necessarily mean bigger overall sales. It could simply mean spreading them out.
As exchange-traded funds and other investing vehicles have ballooned in number, the task of figuring out what works well and what doesn't has only gotten harder. Barrons.com's Focus on Funds looks under the hood of ETFs, mutual funds and hedge funds for overlooked values, actionable ideas and the latest pitfalls for fund investors.

"It's not just finding this stuff that's interesting," says Alan Decho, a geobiologist at the University of South Carolina's Arnold School of Public Health. "It's showing that the life had some organization to it." Ridges that crisscross the rocks like strands in a spider web hint that primitive bacteria linked up in sprawling networks. Like their modern counterparts, they may have lived in the equivalent of microbial cities that hosted thousands of kinds of bacteria, each specialized for a different task and communicating with the others via chemical signals.
Many of the textures seen in the Australian rocks had already shown up in 2.9-billion-year-old rocks from South Africa, reported on by Noffke and colleagues in 2007.
Still, old Australian rocks have proved deceptive before. As early as 1980, rippling layers within the Strelley Pool were thought to be the handiwork of bacteria. But such stromatolites, which are different from the structures that Noffke studies, can also be the work of natural, non-living processes. For instance, water flowing along a seafloor can create similar structures under the right conditions. So can spraying jets of liquid loaded with particles onto a surface, as scientists at Oxford University demonstrated in laboratory experiments.
That's why Noffke and her colleagues corroborated their story by measuring the carbon that makes up the textured rocks. About 99 percent of carbon in non-living stuff is carbon-12, a lighter version of the element than the carbon-13 that accounts for most of the remaining 1 percent. Microbes that use photosynthesis to make their food contain even more carbon-12 and less carbon-13. That bias, a signature of "organic" carbon that comes from a living being, showed up in the Australian rock.
"It's always nice to have a number of different lines of evidence, and you definitely want to see organic carbon," says geomicrobiologist John Stolz of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan says staff from her office will monitor Illinois' primary election to ensure voting rights are protected and polls are accessible.
In a statement, Madigan says voters should call her office if they suspect illegal or improper activity.
Illinois' primary is Tuesday, and polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Madigan says voters have the right to cast a ballot if they're in line when polls close at 7 p.m., or at any other time during voting hours.
If a voter can't read, has a disability or has trouble understanding English, they have the right to request assistance.
Madigan also says no one is allowed to try to influence a voter within 100 feet of a polling place.

A man was taken to the hospital Wednesday night when a Tacoma police officer intentionally hit him with a patrol car as he tried to run from authorities, police spokeswoman Loretta Cool said.
The man, who is about 25, complained of leg pain after he was hit and was taken to the hospital, Cool said. She did not have further information about the man's condition.
She said the officer tried to contact the man about 9:10 p.m. in the 1500 block of South J Street, when he turned and started to run.
The officer hit the man with the car, and he ran a few blocks, until he was taken into custody in the 1100 block of South 13th Street, Cool said.
She did not immediately know what caused the officer to approach the man, but said a gun from the man was recovered at the scene.
Cool said the officer would be on administrative leave, per procedure, as the use of force is investigated.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was all smiles after stepping from his car, accepting congratulations from team members, his crew chief and even Richard Petty.
He approached a small group of reporters waiting to hear his thoughts on finishing 10th at Phoenix – his first top-10 at the 1-mile desert track since 2008.
"That's more like it," he said quietly, with a smile.
Earnhardt Jr. immediately cautioned that his revamped No. 88 team "still has got a little ways to go." But he was clearly pleased with the performance.
"We had a pretty good car!" he said cheerfully.
The top-10 finish was only Earnhardt Jr.'s third in the last 20 races, a maddening streak which has only added to his winless woes of the last couple years. As he struggled through the second half of last season and fell out of a Chase spot, Earnhardt Jr. only grew more frustrated.
But he and new crew chief Steve Letarte seem to have found a connection so far this year, and Phoenix showed the team could be headed in the right direction.
"We need to keep doing this," he said. "We need to do this a little bit better. We need to keep this up. I haven't run good here in a long time – I really haven't."
It was a solid day for Earnhardt Jr. all around. For some reason, he got some lucky breaks in situations where he wouldn't have been so fortunate last year.
He found his way through the early "big one" despite starting 35th ("Just luck," he said) and was able to overcome a loose wheel that caused him to pit under the green flag.
When a reporter observed the loose wheel would have ruined Earnhardt Jr.'s day last year, the driver nodded.
"Oh, I know," he said.
The team also had a wheel break on its jack during one part of the race. Asked why his equipment seems to fail him at times, Earnhardt Jr. smirked.
"We're just under a lot of pressure, man," Earnhardt Jr. said. "And even the parts feel it, I guess."
It's only the second race of the season, but Earnhardt Jr. is 17th in points (up five spots from Daytona) and feeling positive about his team's direction.
"He drove a great race, and he never gave up," team owner Rick Hendrick said. "To pit under green here with less than 100 laps to go, and come back for a 10th-place finish, you've had a good day."
Another reporter pointed out that Earnhardt Jr.'s Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jeff Gordon, snapped a long winless streak on Sunday – and asked how close NASCAR's most popular driver was to doing the same thing.
"We were nine spots behind him," he said, "so that's about how close we are."

Federal household surveys today face several significant challenges including: increasing costs of data collection, declining response rates, perceptions of increasing response burden, inadequate timeliness of estimates, discrepant estimates of key indicators, inefficient and considerable duplication of some survey content, and instances of gaps in needed research and analysis. The Workshop on the Future of Federal Household Surveys, held at the request of the U.S. Census Bureau, was designed to address the increasing concern among many members of the federal statistical system that federal household data collections in their current form are unsustainable. The workshop brought together leaders in the statistical community to discuss opportunities for enhancing the relevance, quality, and cost-effectiveness of household surveys sponsored by the federal statistical system.
The Future of Federal Household Surveys is a factual summary of the presentations and related discussions that transpired during the workshop. This summary includes a number of solutions that range from methodological approaches, such as the use of administrative data, to emphasis on interagency cooperative efforts.

Community and Environmental Health faculty have had extensive federal funding to conduct research in community based partic research approach to reduce reproductive health and respiratory diseases practice.
Our Dental Hygiene program boasts the first and only Dental Hygiene Research Center in the country and faculty have recently published at least 5 major dental hygiene textbooks. The Research Center has been particularly successful in the development of collaborative clinical studies evaluating the effectiveness of different dental technologies. A major technological development was the design of the ODU 11/12 Explorer dental instrument, a popular dental probe representing a highly successful collaboration between Dental Hygiene faculty and industry.
Medical Laboratory and Diagnostics & Translational Sciences faculty have extensive laboratory research capabilities and have been involved in a variety of research studies including: 1) Ergogenic effects of supplements on athletic performance in collaboration with faculty from Exercise Science, 2) Use of a glucosensor watch in exercising type two diabetics, 3) Ergonomic studies of cytotechnologists, 4) Asbestos and related disease in lung tissue, and 5) Endocervical adenocarcinoma in situ in the female genital system.
In the 21st century, rigorous scholarship is necessary to move the profession of nursing forward and to contribute to positive health and health systems outcomes for our nation's populous. Nursing often has significant competing priorities for teaching, service, and scholarship that are directly tied to professional practice standards (AACN, 2013). In light of these competing priorities, the Boyer Model sets forth a frame for scholarship that supports a broad yet rigorous approach to scholarship. Boyer asserts that scholarship can encompass any of the four areas that constitute academic work. These include:
a) Scholarship of Discovery- generation/discovery of new and unique knowledge, encompasses empirical research
b) Scholarship of Integration- new relationships among disciplines are discovered interpreting research into a larger, more comprehensive understanding, answering "what do the findings mean"
c) Scholarship of Application/ Practice- how knowledge can be responsibly applied to society's problems, applying knowledge to practice
d) Scholarship of Teaching- where the teacher creatively builds bridges/programs to enhance students' learning; transmitting, transforming and extending knowledge.
These four focus areas of scholarship are vital in academic nursing, where each specific area supports a profession committed to advancing science and social relevance. This focus is based on the work of Boyer, the history of nursing scholarship, beliefs and values of academic leaders on inter-professional collaboration, research, faculty practice, and education. The faculty of the Old Dominion University School of Nursing (SON) embraces all four areas of academic work.
Our Physical Therapy faculty have been involved with a number of studies of sports injuries and collaborate extensively with other ODU faculty. In particular, Physical Therapy has a well-developed Motion Analysis Laboratory for the study of human motion and forces under normal and pathological conditions and our faculty collaborate on teaching and research projects with faculty in Exercise Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering. The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program also collaborates extensively with Eastern Virginia Medical School in exploring the use of 'standardized patients' for improving patient care. Faculty are also involved in several unique studies including: 1) an analysis of factors influencing the receipt of physical therapy services among stroke patients, and 2) factors contributing to choice of physical therapy as a specialty by minority individuals.
Our vision is to be a nationally ranked and internationally recognized leader in advancing healthcare by educating competent health professionals, generating practically significant scientific knowledge and innovative technologies, fostering scholarly collaborations, and promoting positive public health policies.
Strategic Goal: Expanding Research
- Greatly increase external funding and PubMed cited research
- Establish internationally influential research centers
- Become a substantial contributor of NIH funding at the University
- Establish a WHO Collaborating Center

Rumors Coffee and Tea House will host "Another Climbing Zine Thing" on Friday, July 15 at 7:00 p.m. The event will celebrate the recent release of the third volume of The Climbing Zine, written by Colorado author Luke Mehall. The Climbing Zine is an independent publication that aims to offer a unique view on the world of climbing, and its culture. The zine focuses primarily on the essence of climbing, and the journey that takes place during these adventures. The featured story from volume three is called "Go West Young Man in The Freedom Mobile", a tale about two men heading from Colorado to California, in late autumn, a vehicle well over 200,000 miles that seemed destined to break down at any moment; all for the hope to climb another day as the climbing season is winding down. Mehall and Al Smith III (co-founders of The Climbing Zine) will present slideshows of recent adventures and misadventures. The event is free, and copies of The Climbing Zine will be for sale. Rumors Coffee and Tea House is located at 414 Elk Ave. in Crested Butte. Any further questions about the event can be directed to Mehall at email@example.com. All volumes of The Climbing Zine can be read for free online at lukemehall.blogspot.com.
