Good morning
Morning ladies,
It's 5:31 a.m. in the morning here and YOU GUESSED IT....I DIDN'T SLEEP AT ALL FOR THE NIGHT!
Whatever I finished my book, tried again only for the snoring duo to keep me up. Finally got so tired of trying to relax when I just wanted to strangle them both. I came and started up the computers, took my one BP pill that I take after my thyroid pill, which I took at 4:26 a.m. and then came in, pulled my tickle file, rewrote some instructions and came on line.
Already did my Food & Exercise Journal and my cardio board too. And my next stop is you lovely ladies. I am not going to kid myself and try weights this a.m., so will do a workout with Suzanne and my evening workout (hopefully)
Well off to mail and my other boards till the "snoring duo wake up".
Do it once for a Lab and it's a forever thing!
All I have to say is.......W.A.G.A.R.A!
Happy Friday everyone . Have a blessed day.
Good morning my friends!
Make it a great day!
Good Morning! If you aren't up and at 'em yet, you're either sick, or slacking... :-)! Have a great day!
Wow close to 2 p.m. here and no roll call.....we must all be busy beavers....
Starting roll call
Hi Annie,
I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was good, but quick and busy. Sat. I did housework and food shopping. We went to a friend's birthday party on Sat. night. Sunday we spent most of the day with my folks. Than I just had busy chores to do, before you know it, its bed time. I didn't sleep all that well last night either. I kept waking up and when I did fall asleep, I was having weird dreams.
I'm just looking forward to next week off! I just want to relax and have fun. I actually bought a ticket to see Crosby Stills & Nash for next week. They are playing pretty close to home. DH doesn't care about them, so I just got one ticket. I was going to get one for a friend, but all the cheap tickets were sold out. I couldn't afford to buy two $100 tickets, so DH said he would just drop me off and pick me up. I used to be crazy about them when I was a teen, so I think it should be fun.
I ate my share of bad stuff this weekend. We'll see what that scale says today at the gym.
Post those workouts here ! JUST DO IT!
Good morning ladies,
Just getting us going for another week.
Hope that it will be a great one for all of you.
Good morning my friends!! What are your plans for today?
It's a new day! Let's enjoy!
Where is everyone??!!!
It's me Ginger!
Good Morning,
Here's to a great weekend.
Can you believe August is almost over . Only 16 days and then we will be going in the fall.
Any special plans for Fall one of my favorites times of the year .
I love the fall leaves(which Bama doesn't really have any only the Bartlett Pear trees) and fall Décor .
I was sick in the bed all day yesterday . I must have ate something as I had The BIG D . Seem to be all right this morning and tired of laying in the bed and running to the Bath Room . So I shall see have today it . Behind in everything after spending the day in bed . Only had a bowl of oatmeal and water the whole day.
Need to get caught up with posts and will do that later when I get caught up here in the house . A lot of Washing to do so Lucy and Ethel will be busy this morning.
Happy Thursday my friends
Starting a thread!
A good friend of mine recently explained why she does chores right away. She called it being smart lazy. I am lazy, so dishes pile up in my kitchen. And when it is time to do them, it is a crusted on fiasco. She does them immediately after a meal, because a freshly used pot or pan just takes a swish to get clean, whereas my crusted on ones require some brillo pad scrubbing. She says she is smart lazy. She doesn't want to do all that scrubbing. I think this is brilliant. Why am I making all this extra work for myself? So I'm trying to adapt. It is difficult, but every time I swish out a pan, I smile to myself.
Just starting roll call,

Turkish Bath Garden, Old City of Akko (Acre), Israel
The World > Asia > Middle East > Israel
Down at the end of Al-Jezzar Street, just around the corner, is the Municipal Museum, originally the hammam, or Turkish bath, built by Ahmed al Jezzar Pasha as part of his mosque complex in the 1780s. The museum's collections, including antiquities, an exhibit on Napoleon's attack, the Museum of Heroism, and a folklore exhibit are often closed as the building undergoes repairs, but the building itself is fantastic. Visiting art exhibitions are also displayed here.
Turkish baths were modeled after the Roman plan, with three distinct rooms. The first was the entry and dressing room, the next was the tepidarium (its Roman name), with warm steam, and the last was the caldarium, with hot steam. The hot room was always the most ornate.
As you walk through the first two rooms, note the tiny glass skylights in the domes. The third room, the one for hot steam, is rich in marble and mosaic work. In the center is a circular platform for steam bathing. The heat source was beneath it. Some Turkish baths have a small swimming pool here instead. Four private steam cubicles occupy the four points of the compass.

Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.
The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.
Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!
When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.
Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.

Study Abroad
As an opportunity for both academic enrichment and personal growth, William Jewell College recognizes that study abroad promotes the development of critical thinking, self-reflection and cross-cultural skills students continue to utilize long after they've returned home.
William Jewell offers its students a list of quality study abroad programs that are neither owned nor operated by Jewell, but which have been reviewed and approved by Jewell faculty and staff for academic rigor and good student service. Students interested in studying abroad for either a semester or academic year should select from among these college-approved programs. If you are interested in a program that does not appear on Jewell's approved list, please visit the Center for Global Studies and Journey Grants to discuss your options.
Choosing a Study Abroad ProgramTo select the right study abroad program, you should carefully consider both the goals you hope to meet during your study abroad experience and the challenges that might prevent you from achieving your goals. You can begin to define your goals and identify challenges by asking yourself...
Once you have answered these questions, you will have some guiding principles to help you better assess your program options.
Application ProcessStudents who desire to study abroad for either a semester or full academic year, must first obtain Jewell approval to study off-campus and then apply for acceptance by the program provider. The application deadline for semester or year-long study during the 2014-15 academic year is January 24, 2014. Applications submitted after this deadline will not be considered. Your application should include:
You will be contacted via email within three weeks with the committee's decision. If approved, your email will include instructions for submitting your application to the program provider. Students desiring to study abroad during the summer are not required to obtain Jewell approval to study off-campus and should not complete an Application for Approval to Study Abroad. Students applying for summer study with the approved Guadalajara program should submit their program application to the Office of International Studies. All other students wishing to pursue summer study must work directly with the program provider, seeking only pre-approval of the program coursework by the Registrar.
Application EvaluationWhile the opportunity to apply for study abroad is available to all qualified William Jewell students, participation is not guaranteed. To be approved, you must meet Jewell's minimum eligibility criteria and demonstrate that you will benefit both academically and personally from the study-abroad experience.

Author Gary Schmidt's Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy (2004) was that rare book that appealed to both teenagers and younger readers. An eloquent, beautifully written novel based on the destruction of an African-American community in Maine in 1912, it came as no surprise that it earned both a Printz and Newbery honor.
Now, with Schmidt's new novel, The Wednesday Wars, he has achieved something equally rare: a book that manages to be an accessible, humorous school story, and at the same time an insightful coming-of-age tale set during one of the most turbulent times in 20th-century America.
Like his 12-year-old protagonist, Holling Hoodhood, author Gary Schmidt grew up on Long Island. Schmidt's own school recollections include vivid memories of a middle school teacher named Mrs. Baker. Holling also has a teacher named Mrs. Baker, and as the book—and the school year—open, he's convinced she has it in for him:
Of all the kids in the seventh grade at Camillo Junior High, there was one kid that Mrs. Baker hated with heat whiter than the sun.
On Wednesdays, you see, everyone in the seventh grade—except Holling—is excused early to go to weekly religious classes. Half the class is Catholic; the other half, Jewish. Holling, being the only Presbyterian, is left behind to be the bane of his teacher's existence.
"Just as in the book, I really was the only one in class for the last couple of hours every Wednesday afternoon. But my Mrs. Baker really did hate me," notes the affable Schmidt, a professor of English at Calvin College in Grand Rapids. "After all, I was standing between my teacher and freedom—early release every Wednesday."
Like his young hero, Schmidt breathed in his share of chalk dust cleaning erasers on those Wednesday afternoons. But unlike young Holling, he most definitely did not spend the year exploring the plays of Shakespeare, gaining a fuller appreciation of his teachers as adults with their own trials and problems, and coming to terms with complex school and family relationships. Most especially, the author did not have to grapple with two gigantic, escape-artist rats named Sycorax and Caliban. "I haven't told you about Sycorax and Caliban yet, and you might want to skip over this next part, since it's pretty awful," Holling courteously warns readers.
Holling's year in seventh grade takes place in 1967-1968, a time of social upheaval in America. Although the timeframe does not correspond to Schmidt's own seventh-grade year, his choice was deliberate.
"This was one of our country's most violent years, with the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy. Vietnam dominated the evening news, with 250 soldiers being shipped home in body bags every week," says Schmidt.
To better understand this era, Schmidt did extensive research. "I read The New York Times for the entire time that is covered in the novel. And although this was not in any way meant to be a book about Iraq, over the past three years as I was writing it, I was struck by the similarities to headlines today."
Although the issues in The Wednesday Wars are serious—prejudice, the backdrop of Vietnam, uncertain family and school relationships—Holling is a self-aware, engaging narrator, and the situations he relates are often laugh-out-loud funny.
There are those rats, of course. And there's also the matter of Holling's costume for his debut as Ariel the Fairy in the Long Island Shakespeare Company's Holiday Extravaganza. "I got through the whole dress rehearsal playing Ariel the Fairy while wearing bright yellow tights with white feathers on the . . . well, I might as well say it—butt. There. On my butt!" Holling tells readers. "White feathers waving on my butt."
"I wanted to try something different by writing in a colloquial voice," says Schmidt, noting how different The Wednesday Wars is in style from Lizzie Bright. "I also wanted to show the mixture between drama and comedy, sad moments and silly ones. That's how we live our lives:really ping-ponging back and forth."
One of the most poignant relationships in the book is that of Holling and his father, an architect with ambition. Holling's father rules "the Perfect House," which is scrupulously maintained to outshine every other house on the block. He's also determined to be the head of a perfect family, which inevitably leads to conflicts with Holling and his older sister.
While at the outset Holling is simply "the Son Who Is Going to Inherit Hoodhood and Associates," by the end of the school year he has begun to develop the courage to stand up for the right to choose his own future.
"The idea for this book originally came to me as one simple image," Schmidt explains. "I could see a kid running, with a teacher standing on the sidelines, shouting encouragement."
That scene does, in fact, make it into this rich and multilayered story. It occurs toward the end of the school year, in April. And it is well worth waiting for, both for readers and for Holling, who has begun to realize just how special his Wednesdays with Mrs. Baker have been.
One thing readers will not have to wait too long for is another book by Schmidt, who somehow manages to balance being the father of six children, a professor of English and one of the most talented and thought-provoking writers for young people.
The next novel, he promises, is already done. Copyright 2007 BookPage Reviews.

Horn Book Magazine Reviews 2007 #4
Entering seventh grade, Holling Hoodhood knows all about teachers. They're "born behind their desks, fully grown, with a red pen in their hand and ready to grade." And the worst of them hate your guts, which is precisely the way he believes Mrs. Baker feels about him. Every Wednesday afternoon, when the rest of his class leaves early to attend Hebrew school or catechism class, Holling, the lone Presbyterian, stays behind with Mrs. Baker. As Holling sees it, she uses the extra time for special torture, ranging from cleaning out rat cages to diagramming impossibly convoluted sentences to reading Shakespeare. That the two will grow to respect each other is a predictable trope, but the alliance nevertheless becomes convincing and winning. Insistently in the background is the Vietnam War: Mrs. Baker's husband is missing in action at Khesanh; the school's cook loses her husband in the conflict; the presence of a Vietnamese refugee in the class triggers hatred and bigotry. At home, Holling's sister supports the peace movement and women's rights; his father puts his architectural business above all; and his mother passively acquiesces to Mr. Hoodhood. Ultimately, Mrs. Baker steps out from behind her desk as a multilayered individual who helps Holling (often through their discussions of Shakespeare's plays) to dare to choose his own ending rather than follow the dictates of others. Schmidt rises above the novel's conventions to create memorable and believable characters. Copyright 2007 Horn Book Magazine Reviews.
Kirkus Reviews 2007 May #2
It's 1967, and on Wednesdays, every Jewish kid in Holling Hoodhood's class goes to Hebrew School, and every Catholic kid goes to Catechism. Holling is Presbyterian, which means that he and Mrs. Baker are alone together every Wednesday--and she hates it just as much as he does. What unfolds is a year of Wednesday Shakespeare study, which, says Mrs. Baker, "is never boring to the true soul." Holling is dubious, but trapped. Schmidt plaits world events into the drama being played out at Camillo Junior High School, as well as plenty of comedy, as Holling and Mrs. Baker work their way from open hostility to a sweetly realized friendship. Holling navigates the multitudinous snares set for seventh-graders--parental expectations, sisters, bullies, girls--with wry wit and the knowledge that the world will always be a step or two ahead of him. Schmidt has a way of getting to the emotional heart of every scene without overstatement, allowing the reader and Holling to understand the great truths swirling around them on their own terms. It's another virtuoso turn by the author of Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy (2005). (Fiction. 10-14) Copyright Kirkus 2007 Kirkus/BPI Communications. All rights reserved.
Publishers Weekly Reviews 2007 April #3
On the first day of the 1967-68 school year, Holling Hoodhood thinks he's made a mortal enemy of his new teacher when it turns out he's the only seventh-grader who does not leave early every Wednesday to attend Hebrew school or catechism. (Holling is Presbyterian, and though eminently likeable, he does have a knack for unintentionally making enemies.) Stern Mrs. Baker first gives him custodial duties, but after hilarious if far-fetched catastrophes involving chalk dust, rats and freshly baked cream puffs, she switches to making him read Shakespeare. He overcomes his initial horror, adopting the Bard's inventive cursing as his own to dress down schoolyard bullies. Indeed standing up for himself is the real battle Holling is waging, especially at home, where his architect father has the entire family under his thumb. Schmidt, whose Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy won both Printz and Newbery Honors, delivers another winner here, convincingly evoking 1960s Long Island, with Walter Cronkite's nightly updates about Vietnam as the soundtrack. The serious issues are leavened with ample humor, and the supporting cast--especially the wise and wonderful Mrs. Baker--is fully dimensional. Best of all is the hero, who shows himself to be more of a man than his authoritarian father. Unlike most Vietnam stories, this one ends happily, as Schmidt rewards the good guys with victories that, if not entirely true to the period, deeply satisfy. Ages 10-14. (May)[Page 49]. Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
Gr 5-8-- This entertaining and nuanced novel limns Holling Hoodhood's seventh-grade year in his Long Island community, beginning in the fall of 1967. His classmates, half of whom are Jewish, the other half Catholic, leave early on Wednesdays to attend religious training. As the sole Presbyterian, he finds himself stranded with his teacher, Mrs. Baker, whom he's sure has it in for him. She starts off creating mindless chores for him but then induces him to read Shakespeare--lots of Shakespeare. Chapters titled by month initially seem overlong, relating such diverse elements as two terrifying escaped rats, cream puffs from a local bakery, his dad being a cheapskate/cutthroat architect, and Holling's tentative and sweet relationship with classmate Meryl Lee. The scary Doug Swieteck, and his even more frightening brother, and the Vietnam War are recurring menaces. A subplot involves a classmate who, as a recent Vietnamese refugee, is learning English and suffers taunts and prejudice. Cross-country tryouts, rescuing his older runaway sister, and opening day at Yankee Stadium are highlights. There are laugh-out-loud moments that leaven the many poignant ones as Schmidt explores many important themes, not the least of which is what makes a person a hero. The tone may seem cloying at first and the plot occasionally goes over-the-top, but readers who stick with the story will be rewarded. They will appreciate Holling's gentle, caring ways and will be sad to have the book end.--Joel Shoemaker, Southeast Junior High School, Iowa City, IA[Page 110].

West Virginia ended its 2011 season by aerating Clemson in the 2012 Orange Bowl, putting up 70 points in an evisceration of the Tigers. For their spring game on Saturday, the Mountaineers toned down the offense a bit. But only just a bit.
Geno Smith threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns. His backup, Paul Millard, threw for 253 yards. Three interceptions by the two quarterbacks helped the Blue defense down the Gold offense, 43-34. The defense earned five points for each three-and-out, and three points for each drive stop, interception, and fumble recovery.
West Virginia is transitioning to a 3-4 defensive scheme after running a 3-3-5 in Dana Holgorsen's first year, and Holgorsen is pleased with his young defense's progress.
"The trend lately has been the defense getting after the offense for about the last five practices," Holgorsen said. "The first 10, offensively we did some good things, but probably in particular, the last five or six practices, the defense has been doing a lot better."

Authorities are investigating after a 15-year-old girl reported being sexually assaulted after a night of drinking with other teens inside a Shawnee home.
Police said the girl was with the group in the 17000 block of West 66th Terrace Saturday night.
Bill Hisle with the Shawnee Police Department said the three girls and two boys were drinking alcohol. The five were of similar age.
The victim was later found naked in a bedroom by the two other girls.
Hisle said the girl does not remember what happened, but there is enough information for authorities to investigate her allegations. Her parents apparently got her medical treatment.

SAO PAULO (AP) -- Brazil's Carnival was not just about wild partying, heavy drinking and samba dancing.
The country's huge Carnival celebrations this week also provided key lessons for World Cup organizers trying to prepare the nation for football's showcase event in two years, and authorities are happy with the results.
With tourists jamming many of the World Cup host cities, Carnival served as a test run for authorities seeking to evaluate their newly implemented World Cup projects, from infrastructure improvements to public safety programs to medical services.
Hoping to gather valuable information to be used in 2014, organizers watched closely as millions of tourists traveled the country for the festival, just like they will do during the World Cup in 2014.

Bobcats Camo by Delaware Bobcats Womens Icehockey - 9 months ago
"The Delaware Bobcats Womens Icehockey Red team decided it was time for some new swag. Since many of live the rural lifestyle, we felt that digital camo was the way to go. This photo was taken in our locker room before our game against the Hawks on 12/15/2013. When I decided to place the order with CustomInk, I gave them a ring and handled everything over the phone. The customer service offered is far superior to any online company I've used. I was able to talk to the artist to get our logo just right! "

Good food, good service, nice
atmosphere, free valet parking. All good - too bad it's closing at the end of this week. But the Alamo Heights location will remain open."
Dined on 8/17/2014
It's the best in town! The
gnocchi is pan seared to perfect and covered in the perfect amount of creamy Gorgonzola sauce. I've never experienced anything quite like it. Amazing!"
Dined on 8/16/2014
We visited San Antonio last
weekend; our group of 8. I was looking for someplace reasonably priced that would satisfy all our varying tastes, and that could confirm an early dinner reservation. We all loved the dishes we ordered. I had the pan toasted gnocchi and would highly recommend it. A great little find."
Dined on 7/10/2014
Overall, this was a disappointing
experience. The menu looks great on paper but the food was uninspiring and ordinary, especially given the price. Parking is an issue at this location, as well. Will be surprised if this restaurant exists at this location one year from now."
Dined on 7/8/2014
We had recognized that choosing an
Italian restaurant in the middle of the San Antonio Riverwalk area probably was not the right cuisine choice given the strong Mexican influence, and regrettably this caution proved true. We had indicated in the reservation that it was our son's thirteenth birthday. I do not expect anything other than an acknowledgment and well wishes, of which neither were received. The service was slow and non-attentive, and the food was mediocre, and given the price, not a well spent evening. They claim homemade pasta, yet it was primarily tasteless, and my wife's and son's pasta (spaghetti) arrived as a glued mass, and could not be easily separated to spin on a spoon. Regrettably disappointing."
Dined on 7/5/2014
My wife and I go here every time
we visit San Antonio. The food is amazing, and staff is really attentive and friendly. The drinks are pricy for what you pay for, I recommend sticking to the much cheaper beer selection."
Dined on 7/4/2014
This has quickly become our
favorite place to eat at when we visit San Antonio. the food is fresh and flavorful, the service is very attentive and it is convenient to the Riverwalk. Overall, a very good experience."
Dined on 6/25/2014
Had reservations, but told to wait
for a dirty table to be cleaned. Baffling b/c there were clean tables. Part of the appeal of brunch is the $1 mimosas. The server said no Champagne for mimosas. Pretty sad since it was Father's Day. Ordered an app. to start w/, server disappeared for about 10-15 mins. For us to order entrees we asked another server to find him. Our water glasses sat empty. Fruit plate came out as a fruit parfait in error but was corrected. Had to ask for the bill & when I gave cash, said he had to go downstairs for change, which took another 10 mins. The service soured the whole experience. When paying $50, plus tips, there is a level of service that is deserved, this missed the mark."
Dined on 6/15/2014
I selected this restaurant from
the web site for my Birthday. Perhaps we just went on a bad night, but they didn't have Italian Beer, there was no bread and even though our server said he would bring some he never did. The food was just fair. The service was not very good in spite of the fact that they were not busy!"
Dined on 6/3/2014
Located in a historical building
which I loved. Very charming. The service was a little slow and they forgot a few things. In all, the food was great. Had a great time and would go back. Our waiter/bartendar was very friendly. He even stepped outside when we were trying to get a cab and offered to get one for us. Really nice."
Dined on 5/25/2014
We were treated so very special,
all to the assist my Bruno Sad...he made it a memorable moment for the three ladies spending several days downtown being pampered."
Dined on 5/21/2014
The food was very good. The
bartender was our waiter and he was knowledgable and attentive. He made several suggestions for our dinner and rink options and we were very pleased with what we ordered. The restaurant is clean, attractive and comfortable. "
Dined on 5/20/2014
Service was perfect, food was also
great. Highly recommend if in the area, plus they have free complimentary valet service. "
Dined on 5/11/2014
Upon arrival no one was at the
reception station and we had to wait a while for someone to greet us. There seemed to be some confusion as to our seating arrangements and had to wait even more though the restaurant was pretty empty. When we finally were seated, not all our guests received menus, I had to go back up front to get more. It just got worse from here, some drink items on menu were not available, the kids plates came out 10 minutes after the adult main courses, and then we had no silverware to even begin eating. No one ever came to check on us. In the end, I ordered a coffee with dessert it was of course served to me after the dessert was finished and then it was presented to me in Styrofoam to go cup after I got the bill ! "
Dined on 5/11/2014
Dined here with a group of
colleagues at the recommendation of our hotel bartender. EVERYthing we had was delicious. The waiter gave candid suggestions and knew the menu very well. The cauliflower ravioli was wonderful - silky smooth filling and creamy sauce. We shared a pizza as an apetizer (again the waiter's suggestion) and it was fantastic. I'd have happily eaten there several more times. Since it has pizza and pasta, it's good to go with vegetarians, which is nice. The atmosphere is sort of upscale/rustic; very pleasant, but the most outstanding feature was the food, which was just terrific."
Dined on 5/3/2014
Not polished enough, as we were
expecting, based on previous reviews. Food was ok, not great. Good combination of flavors on main dishes. Aperitifs were disappointing. "
Dined on 4/25/2014
I made a reservation for 9 via
Open Table; when we arrived on time, the host tried to seat our party at a table that sat 6 comfortably. We were asked to wait for 10 minutes as the people were leaving to attend the Fiesta float parade. The server told us that he would be over to take our drink orders. After 30 minutes of waiting with no contact from anyone from the restaurant and several request for status, the party was escorted to a table that was had partial settings; 7 guests that tableware, 2 had no glasses. We received the items after several requests. I requested a visit from the manager; I was told he was busy. We received free appetizers (just delivered with no explaination) but not a visit from manager during our dinner."
Dined on 4/21/2014
Kitchen closed early at 7:30 pm
Easter night but nobody told us that when we called to confirm our 8 pm reservation---closing time for the restaurant was supposed to be 10 pm. So the closed kitchen meant no hot bread and some entrees were not available. Servers were not happy to see us. Fiesta street closings made it difficult to get to the restaurant and to find parking. Maybe the restaurant should re-think their hours and then post them accurately on Open Table so that patrons are not disappointed!"
Dined on 4/20/2014
The service and food were great.
I enjoyed the trout and mozzarella appetizer. The only detail less than great was that the wine that we ordered was not available but was on the wine list."
Dined on 4/19/2014
Previous comments were spot on -
the crispy trout and pulled mozzarela were dishes not to be missed. My colleague asked for an individually design pizza that was with grilled shrimp and some of their wonderfule lemon recotta (four cheeses) - it was out of this world! Great for business client!"
Dined on 4/12/2014
Great vintage building and place
had a good neighborhood bistro vibe."
Dined on 4/12/2014
The food is wonderful! Complex,
surprising flavors and ingredients that are fresh, fresh, fresh. The server was knowledgeable and attentive, but didn't hover. I recommend it for couples and small groups and will return soon myself."
Dined on 4/8/2014
Found this excellent Italian
restaurant while staying on San Antonio Riverwalk. Went with my wife and 10/11 years daughters. Food excellent and service very good. While no kids menu they would make any kid friendly pasta dish you'd like. It was a block off the riverwalk and a nice break from the hectic riverwalk scene."
Dined on 4/3/2014
Made the reservation here and they
sat us at a high top new the bathroom. Not a good start. Part of the Fairmont Hotel. Very attractive from the street view. Actually a nice looking place with a good bar. The pizza was very good. Wine selection average but decently priced. The Wagyu Meatbals with Spag were OK but nothing special They were out of the fish of the day??? Can't add a fish? Just too many good restaurants in San Antonio. Next time I pass on this one."
Dined on 3/31/2014
Service was good. Drinks a little
strong. Food was OK."
Dined on 3/21/2014
A very unimpressive entrance in an
historic hotel a little away from the center of San Antonio activity, this was a real find. Invited 14 business associates and my BW for a Monday night gathering and the place was packed. Excellent taste of Italy from the Tuscany region. The Trout was amazing and more than you can eat, Cudo's to the Pasta's and Rissoto. Tuscan Steak got great reviews from my BW. Ably served by Alex and Peter considering the busy night. Seek and you shall find !!"
Dined on 3/17/2014
Great find with authentic Italian
dishes made with a flair. Not the usual fare.... great to try something new here! Nice views, great staff. Excellent drinks!"
Dined on 3/14/2014
This was stop #3 on our food tour.
The room is sparcely decorated and has the potential to be loud; it was not. Served by the bartender, the service was attentive. The hand-pulled Mozzarella and house made Proscuitto and Soppressetta were delicious. They have a nice wine list and a full bar, Heidi loved the Martinis. The pasta in the Pappardelle Bolognese was crazy long but, the sauce was luscious: best bite of the night! The Grilled Crispy Skin Rainbow Trout came on a platter and was a ridiculously huge portion; it could have fed 3 people easily! The fish was crisp and the Caponeta tangy! The Pasta Oglio Olio was a bit disappointing. At first, way too salty; it improved through the meal but, was still my least favorite of the night. Visit!"
Dined on 3/10/2014
We usually go to the Tre Trattoria
on Broadway, but decided to try the downtown location this time. The atmosphere is similar, with some small changes to the menu. My wife had the roasted tomato caprese with home made mozzarella (always a favorite!) and I had the white bean soup (very good as well). We split a pork chop entree, which is one of the differences from Broadway, and the Tuscan ribeye; both were cooked perfectly. We even had enough to take home for lunch :-) .. If you like polenta, I would highly recommend getting the side, and it's also big enough to share. Finally, Nutella X3. I'm not even sure if they have any other desserts! Great meal, service and a nice evening at the Riverwalk.."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Had to come back the next night
because it was so good! Wish someone in Colorado could fix that pulled mozzarella like you did. Olive oil, sea salt, pepper, tasty bread. YUM! Homemade pastas were tasty. We had great service from Alex. Thanks for a wonderful second evening experience! :)"
Dined on 3/8/2014
We were visiting San Antonio and
this restaurant was near the Marriott where we stayed. Walking by one afternoon and Peter came out and said, Ladies, you need to come in! We have great food at reasonable prices as we are not on the River Walk. Well the next night we came in. Alex served us and was amazing! It was so good we came back the next night! Had the mozzarella appetizer both nights. What's not to love! And the goat cheese wood fired pizza - YUM! And their pastas are home made. Had the cauliflower one night and the tagliatelle the next night. You won't be disappointed! Be prepared that your drinks can cost more than your food bill! We would definitely return if we are in San Antonio. Thanks! :)"
Dined on 3/7/2014
Great for Sunday brunch! I duck
hash dish - delicious. Fried chicken with waffles is another favorite!"
Dined on 3/2/2014
This is a Jason Dady restaurant
and it's a winner. The food was excellent. We went for brunch and did a breakfast pizza in addition to other menu options. Loved the specially-priced mimosa drinks. It was a treat."
Dined on 2/23/2014
On a recent trip to San Antonio,
we did not care for the touristy feel of the River Walk and really had no suggestions for dinner our first evening after traveling to S.A.. Used the OT app to find something not too pricey but not a chain either. Brandon was very knowledgable about the special offerings. We started with a "market priced" salad-it was delicious! Radicchio, basil, melon, croutons and fresh made buffalo mozzarella with olive oil, salt & pepper, red wine vinegrette...the sweet melon and a bit of fragrant basil with slightly peppery bitter radicchio with the crunch of a crispy crouton slightly saturated with olive oil and vinegrette, topped with creamy mozzarella was a wake up for my taste buds I had not had in a long while!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
The food is fantastic, traditional
invaluable dishes mixed with new and exciting creations by the chef. Definitely try the hand pulled mozzarella appetizer!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
I visited this restaurant during
Social Hour 4-9 .... the Pizza is 1/2 off.... selected wine $5. The pizza had a great taste."
Dined on 2/18/2014
we had reservations for saturday
night after valentine's day...a bit of a shock to see that there were a few tables empty where we were seated, which had me concerned. we had the caprese, bruschetta, tenderloin pizza, gnocchi with gorgonzola, and polenta...all were delicious, not oversalted, seasoned just right. soon, all the tables around us were filled. we were so full there was no space for dessert, if you're wondering if the portions are small. they are not. i will definitely come back to try the other items on the menu. the prime area to be seated is near the front of the restaurant by the windows. they could probably do something to enhance the back area where we were seated...it was just a giant mirror and that was about it."
Dined on 2/15/2014
This is a good restaurant, but not
great. The flavors a good, but the proportions are small. If you don't need a steak and potato to fill you up, then this place will suffice. They have a nice staff and the ambiance is nice. Their bar is actually a pretty good layout and good for a group of 4-6 people to still interact and not feel spread out. It isn't a loud place, even when the bar is full. Big bonus is that there is complementary valet parking. Good location just between downtown and South Town, so lots of after dinner options."
Dined on 2/14/2014
I was trying to find a new spot
this Valentine's bcause we've done almost every other hot spot in SA. Service was awesome, nice romantic setting on one side of the restaurant, more of a lunch time vibe to the front. We asked to be moved to one of the three empty tables by the window and were denied :-(. Ok whatever, on with the food im hungry. Food was delicous, just not enough of it. We had a four course meal and walked away still hungry. My main course had TWO medium sized scallops that were placed on the plate by an artist, beautiful presentation. Drinks were mediocre at best. We both agreed, for $220 bucks we could have had a meal as good or better for half that at other restaurants we patron."
Dined on 2/14/2014
In San Antonio for a business
meeting. There were two of us that went to Tre Trattoria and it was great. Everything from the service to the food was fantastic. Will stop again on my next visit."

No, we aren't done talking about Austin yet. I suppose, though, this photo speaks more about bloggers than it does about Austin.
We stopped by Wheatsville Co-op a couple of times during our scouting visit last spring, because it's one of the most fantastic co-ops, period. (They have their own vegan lip balm and bottled kombucha, folks.) We grabbed a table in that famous Texas sun and were photographing our lunch, when I had a rare moment of self-awareness.
Bloggers spend a ridiculous amount of time photographing food—no breaking news here—but we seem to not notice that we're doing it or let it bother us. But it's weird, right? Look at this table full of food, including (of course) the Wheatsville signature offering, popcorn tofu, and we can't just dig in? What's wrong with us?
Don't you worry, after our little photo shoot we got down to business. After all, we had lots of exploring to do.
We miss you, Austin. We miss you, Wheatsville. We miss you, popcorn tofu. Until we meet again…

Clark signed his $1.32 million restricted free agent tender on Wednesday.||||||| Although Clark has made just a half-dozen starts for the Broncos over the last three seasons, he figures to get plenty of first-team snaps as Peyton Manning's blindside protector when offseason workouts begin. That's because Pro Bowl left tackle Ryan Clady is recovering from right shoulder surgery and is planning to skip the team's offseason program rather than sign his $9.8 million franchise tag.
The injury-riddled Denver Broncos were awarded running back Andre Brown of the New York Giants and offensive lineman Chris Clark of the Minnesota Vikings off waivers on Sunday.||||||| Clark spent the last two years on the Vikings' practice squad after going undrafted out of Southern Miss, where he started the final 39 games of his college career. The Broncos are banged up along the offensive line, where right tackle Ryan Harris (ankle) was injured in the preseason finale and All-Pro left tackle Ryan Clady is still feeling his way back from a torn left patellar tendon, which popped while he was playing a pickup basketball game in April.

Commissioner John Kady brought his request before the board at Tuesday night commission meeting about the consumption of alcohol at city parks. He asked the commission and city administrators to look into the ordinances that deal with this issue.
This came after several requests from citizens wanting toasts or limited alcohol consumption at their weddings and other events.
After some clarification from city manager Jeff Brown, it was clear that the newest ordinance, Chapter 17 section of the code, allowed such practices as long as a permit for alcohol liability insurance was obtained from the city.
"Well, its my understanding that staffs believe it is permitted," said Kady. "So, they are going to work administratively to clarify it. But, they will be accepting requests for folks that are having those types of events in the parks. So, I'm looking forward to that.
Mayor Greg Brudnicki says he does not mind accepting the terms as long as alcohol is not used excessively at the parks. Residents can immediately start submitting requests for permits at city hall.

Technically, California has a law that's supposed to prevent surcharges for plastic. But as my buddy David Lazarus has pointed out in his column, Section 1748.1 of the California Civil Code has some big fat loopholes. Gas stations get away with double pricing because they're supposedly offering a discount for cash, not a surcharge for plastic.DA member me1004 has more details about California gas stations in a reply in this DA forum thread.

During the visitors' section, Police Chief Mike DeLaurentis presented department commendation plaques to Officer Jason Dorman, Det. Patrick Slattery and Sgt. Sean Humphrey for their work in the arrest of Davon Cunningham, 22, of Mississippi.
The incident began at 8:45 p.m. March 14 when a report was received to be on the look out for a stolen vehicle allegedly used in a burglary in which several guns were stolen in Trinidad. The driver reportedly had been fleeing from the Pueblo Police Department on Colo. 96 by Pueblo Reservoir. About 10:08 p.m., the Fremont County Sheriff's Office requested an assistance from FPD at Colo. 115 at McCumber with a trespass call.
"Upon arrival of deputies, shots were fired," Delaurentis said. "It was determined the vehicle involved was the vehicle from the BOLO, (be on the look out)."
The police officers worked together and coordinated a plan to stop the vehicle coming into Florence without incident.
"Loaded guns were recovered and a dangerous subject was taken off the streets of Florence," Delaurentis said to those involved in the incident. "Your dedication and professionalism reflect credit on yourself and the department and now cause your written commendation."
He also praised the department for its work in the community.
"This shows how our police department works together as a team," Delaurentis said. "The man probably thought about taking out the officers, but didn't. At the last minute, he was taken without a shot being fired. I'm very proud of their actions and I'm very proud of how they work together."
Cunningham appeared in court Thursday for a hearing. District Judge Patrick Murphy set the case over to April 11 for a hearing to determine if Cunningham needs a sign language interpreter, as he claims.
Deputy District Attorney Stacey Turner also filed charges Thursday. Cunningham is charged with one count each of felony menacing, first-degree aggravated motor vehicle theft, theft by receiving and second-degree criminal trespass.
Rachel Alexander assisted with this report.

Some teams hand out bigger contracts than others, but you may be surprised to see where NFC East teams rank when it comes to the number of players with the highest 2014 salary cap numbers at their...
Dan Graziano has a good perspective on Romo "Talk that Jason Garrett and the Cowboys don't trust Romo is ridiculous. Watching Romo on Saturday night, you saw a guy who was in complete control of his offense. A guy who was picking among fantastic targets and had the confidence and competence to find the right one. Heck, all three of his touchdown passes came from inside the 10-yard line. You don't keep throwing the ball from the eight and nine if you don't trust your quarterback. Romo's reputation is a tough one to shake, but he's done nothing wrong in the second half of this season. He is not the reason they lost to Arizona and New York in the two games before this one. And as the Cowboys look ahead to their final two games of the season, knowing they win the division if they can win them both, they do so with a great deal of well-deserved confidence in their starting quarterback."
The MSP Cowboys Annual has a great section on the Cowboys coaches, with in-depth reviews of JG, Ryan and his defensive staff, Woicik and Jimmy Robinson (great work by our BTB bloggers BTW). This...
I finally went to JimmyK's new site, Blogging the bEast, and it has made it into my bookmarks. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should. Especially interesting is his take on the best offensive tackles in the NFC East.
Las Vegas releases odds for the 2009 season.
The Dallas Cowboys draft grades are in and how did they compare to the Giants, Eagles, and Redskins draft? Plus other Cowboys draft news.
Ok, this has already been discussed a bit, but with the resurgent 'Skins looking like a force, it is time to ask whether or not the NFC East of '08 is the best division in the history of football....
12. Cowboys Cowboys fans aren't nearly as rabid as Eagles and Steelers fans, but the Cowboys have more of a worldwide audience. If you stay in the team hotel, you'll see something pretty remarkable. No matter where the Cowboys show up (even Appleton, Wis.), there are at least 30 fans waiting for them in the lobby. Texas Stadium is iconic because of the hole in the roof, but now it's simply a dump. This isn't a fan base that feels a great deal of hatred for certain teams or players. In fact, I think Texas Stadium is one of the safest places in the league to wear an opposing jersey. The most hated player from an opposing team is now lining up at wide receiver for the Cowboys. -- Matt Mosley Mosely also notes in his blog that "NFC East fans scored higher than any other division." The other 3 were all in the top 10.
ESPN Football Today podcast with Jeremy Green focused on the NFC East yesterday, with ESPN's NFC East blogger Matt Mosely and Emily Solana (?) as a Cowboys superfan (along with superfans from the other division teams). There's really no great insights into the Cowboys that folks here don't already know, but the other superfans all get into bashing each others' teams which is kinda fun.

I am using Norton Identity Safe on my Samsung Galaxy 7.7 tablet. I have two problems that I can't find a solution for.
If I add a new password to my vault on my laptop, I don't see the new link on my tablet unless I uninstall and reinstall the Norton app.
My other question is how to save a new password within the tablet itself. In other words, let's say I visit a site for the first time and enter a password. Identity Safe is not asking me if I want to save the login info as it would if I were on my laptop.
Any help you could provide would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Hi John,
There is an auto-sync feature and your new saved account should show up the next time you open up your account list. It might be possible that there might be a few minutes delay for that to happen. If that does not work, try closing the vault and log in again.
For our initial release the Android app does not have the ability to store new logins. We're working on adding that to a future release. Currently the only way of storing a new login is via the PC/Mac clients. Hope this helps.
Hi Albert,
Thanks for such a quick response. I thought I did log out and then back in to the vault, but I'll make sure to try it again. I look forward to future updates and enhancements.

CATEGORIES MoviesAside from some fleeting cameo appearances in the last two "Expendables" movies (and that incredibly brief walk through in "The Rundown"), Arnold Schwarzenegger has mostly been absent from movies. (His last leading role was 2003's "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.") Much of this had to do with his political career as Governor of California, a part most agree was almost as bad as "Junior," then there was that itty bitty sex scandal that threatened to derail his career even longer, but it seems it's all in the past and he's ready for his big comeback.
That comeback comes in the form of this week's hyper-violent, modestly budgeted "The Last Stand," the western debut of acclaimed South Korean filmmaker Kim Ji-Woon, which pits Arnold's grizzled old sheriff (and a team of ragtag locals) against a notorious escaped convict making his way towards Mexico. But is this the comeback we've been waiting for or further proof of the actor's craggy irrelevancy?
PRO: It Is The Perfect Comeback Vehicle Arnold was very smart in choosing "The Last Stand" as his return to the spotlight. It's just the right kind of slam bam action flick that gets people excited, and it's one that doesn't try to hide the fact that he's old as hell and maybe not the most badass on the block anymore. There's an easygoing charm that the actor possesses that is on full display here, and a willingness to play the senior role to a bunch of younger actors (they don't try and saddle Schwarzenegger with a love interest, for example). Arnold gets to run and jump and shoot people in the brain, but he also gets to take on a haunted world-weariness that he's never gotten to explore before, mostly because he was too busy throwing knives into people or piloting jets or terminating. As far as Old Man Arnold goes, this is the perfect role and the perfect project. By the end of it you will be very glad to have him back on the big screen, towering even mightier than he does in real life.
CON: The Villain Is Pretty Lame The conceit is that the bad guy is really, really bad is reinforced throughout "The Last Stand," most notably by a monologue given by the senior FBI Agent (played gamely by Forest Whitaker), who describes him as the most vicious drug kingpin since Pablo Escobar. They even hide his face until the last minute, to give him an even more menacing aura. Except that when you see who it is, it's not anyone you recognize (unless you're a big ole nerd like me), and he's honestly not all that scary anyway. It's Eduardo Noriega, who starred in Spanish productions like Guillermo del Toro's Criterion-bound "The Devil's Backbone" and "Open Your Eyes," the movie that "Vanilla Sky" was based on. Quite frankly his goons are more convincingly evil, particularly Peter Stormare, who plays a white trash baddie posing as a truck driver.
PRO: Kim Ji-Woon Elevates The Material Another reason why "The Last Stand" feels like such a perfect comeback for Arnold is because he's teamed with Kim Jee-Woon, a ridiculously intelligent, playful and talented South Korean filmmaker known for movies as diverse and brilliant as "Tale of Two Sisters," "The Good, the Bad, and the Weird" and "I Saw the Devil." The team-up feels very much like Arnold partnering with madcap European auteur Paul Verhoeven for "Total Recall" -- a mashing together of two distinct aesthetics that merge to create something new and visceral and exciting. The most noticeable thing about Jee-Woon directing this movie is his keen observation and sharp satirical barbs aimed at America's gun culture (something that is obviously very much in the public consciousness right now). There is something very knowing and probing about the way he dramatizes the citizenry's relationship with guns, and it is both funny and observant (while still being exciting). If there's something that elevates "The Last Stand" above casual B-movie status, it's Kim Ji-Woon's involvement (along with his frequent collaborators, cinematographer Kim Ji-yong and composer Mowg).
CON: Kim Ji-Woon Feels Somewhat Hampered At the same time that bursts of "The Last Stand" feel exhilaratingly Kim Ji-Woon-y, there are also moments that reek of studio interference or someone dampening his wild, playful visual style. You just wish it had more of what the director is typically known for. There is, however, a moment towards the end where Arnold and the villain are racing through a cornfield that is so bizarre and visually striking that it borders on the hallucinogenic. It was a pretty clear moment when Ji-Woon got to go nuts, and you just wish there were more moments like this throughout the film.
PRO: It's Got A Great Supporting Cast Surprisingly, "The Last Stand" is stocked with really wonderful characters in supporting roles, including Johnny Knoxville (channeling the "Weird" character from "The Good, the Bad and the Weird") as an outrageous gun nut; Rodrigo Santoro (from "Lost") as a perpetually intoxicated local (who also happens to be an Iraq vet and a crack shot); Luis Guzman as Arnold's loyal deputy; Jaimie Alexander (from "Thor") as another member of the police force; Genesis Rodriguez as an FBI Agent; Zach Gilford (from "Friday Night Lights") as a young policeman; and Harry Dean Stanton as a farmer. Not exactly superstars, but all really wonderful at what they do, gleefully adding some zippy color to the movie.
CON: Arnold's Backstory Is Never Fleshed Out At some point during "The Last Stand" you learn that Arnold used to work the drug beat in LA before becoming disillusioned after members of his team were brutally murdered. For the rest of the movie you're waiting for the revelation that the bad guy that's coming through town is the same guy that had Arnold's men killed, but it never comes. It's so bizarre. It would have raised the stakes emotionally and just seems like it would fit together, from a narrative perspective. Apparently not.
PRO: A Truly Awesome Title Card Never underestimate the power of an amazing title card.
