Apologies if this has recently been asked, but does anyone know about access issues to Enchanted Tower area? I've never been, and from what I can tell (on the main page) is that the road might be closed. Does this mean there's basically no access to this area? Can you walk there, or is there an alternative way? We were considering driving down there this weekend but obviously don't want to bother if you can't even get to the climbing. Thanks!!
Search the forum next time I used the search tool in the upper right side of the screen and found these five separate threads all on the first page of results. I searched "Enchanted Tower".
The 1st link is the only one from 2013.....but thanks for the input.
I figured ;-)) It's all good!
I don't know about the standard road being open, but It's my understanding that the back/alternative road is usually always open. It's slow going but it'll get you there. High clearance is nice but not necessary. Type in Davenport lookout in google maps. The drive takes you to the lookout and then down into the valley(s). I've also heard of being able to park right off the 60 on the same road used for the Davenport approach and hike up and over. Supposedly this is faster than driving the back road, but there is no trail. I also think one would need a pretty good sense of the land to know what specific direction to head.
Is it illegal? My bad. I've been told to go that way by Socorro locals, if that makes any difference at all. Edit: oh, so just the hike in way would be illegal? Didn't realize you'd have to cross private property. i've never done it. Again, though, i was also given that advice by a socorro local. But ok, I guess don't hike in. A better attitude would be cooler though, David. Just sayin. But you probably don't want anyone going there so I suppose you're right being so defensive. And is the access sketchy besides the main drive in approach? I'm aware of the poo problem and definitely preach to pack it out, but is that threatening access?
Ok, point taken. I should have realized. But for clarification, the Devenport road is all legal? If i remember it goes through some cattle guards/open ranches. And that strange academy.
Maybe I'll save it for another weekend......seems a bit...complicated ;-)) But I appreciate the efforts you guys!
LOL This place is s shit show, even with the gate closed it is still getting trashed. Of course, that is what you get when you have an area with super soft grades and climbs that require little to no technique. This type of thoughtless climbing is appealing to thoughtless climbers, who most oftentimes are new to climbing and learned how to climb in the gym. The person who has been long term leasing the property that access Thompson canyon hates all visitors, especially RV's and hunters, and is trying to permanently close the gate. Let's help out this generous man by parking on the side of the road and jumping his fence. Maybe he will shoot one of us and then get sent to jail: access issue solved.
"This type of thoughtless climbing is appealing to thoughtless climbers, who most oftentimes are new to climbing and learned how to climb in the gym." Wow, thanks for reminding me why I never post on these forums. That is quite a bold statement! I'm neither a thoughtless climber, nor am I a newbie, etc... So....thanks for the input? Good day!
Why does any talk about this cool little area always get everyone so buttmad? It's absurd.
I'd argue the El Rito is in second place for a NM destination crag due the soft grades... Always see UT and CO plates mixed in with NM plates. Check out the tunnel or last chance canyon, both have great climbing, IMO better than the tower if you are looking for place in NM to climb at without access issues.

Jesus, I haven't posted to this blog for over three months? That's pretty bad.
So what has kept me so busy? In October/November I took a work trip to Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. It was lovely. Then in December/January I went on vacation to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Again, very lovely.
For whatever reason, I am completely unable to blog while actually on a trip, making me one of the least effective "travel bloggers" out there. I am incredibly envious of those who can post a summary (with pictures!) at the end of each day, but I am lazy, hate lugging around a laptop, and would rather spend the evening drinking beer or sleeping. So now I have this gigantic backlog of photo processing/blogging. Which isn't helped by our new obsession with "Dexter" (thank you, Netflix!)
So once I get done processing all the photos I took (2,700 in Central Asia and 1,500 in Southeast Asia) I'll get around to posting them and perhaps writing a few words. And hopefully that will get done before 2014 rolls around.
OK, here is one of me at the Registan in Samarkand, Uzbekistan:

The US government has held a travel embargo against Cuba for more than 50 years, but that's not stopping Big Sky High School seniors Alex Mustard and Sammi Rasmussen from organizing a student trip to Havana this spring break as part of their senior projects."Sammi and I started talking because she also wanted to travel for her senior project and eventually we came up with the idea of Cuba, which was little out of the ordinary to us," Mustard said.
"There's a lot of reasons we chose Cuba."
"I just think it's the coolest thing, that's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and we might as well take advantage of it," Rasmussen said.
The students came up with the idea after brainstorming with Big Sky Spanish Teacher Jay Bostrom who will lead the group of 20 students along with three other chaperones.
The trip will focus on Cuba's unique ecology and organic farming system.
Bostrom says going to a country that only 50 years ago was on the brink of nuclear war with our own, will offer students a look into a world largely isolated from US culture.
"I think Cuba is one of those aspects of American society where all kinds of misconceptions and all kinds of fear and ignorance," Bostrom said.
"But I hope they get an opportunity to see what's beyond or borders what's beyond our coastline it might radically change who they are."
Mustard and Rasmussen were already granted permission from the US State Dept. when they first approached the school board with their proposal to bring 20 students and four chaperones to Cuba for an ecology-based tour over spring break.
They say going through the school board was the most challenging part.
"We had to get approved by the school board and that was a little bit difficult due to our diplomatic relations with Cuba," Mustard said.
The school board approved the trip last week in its regular meeting. The students are trying to cut down the costs of their trip with a letter writing campaign and an IndieGoGo account which is an online campaign site.

The Word: John Malkovich saves man's life
John Malkovich (and his penchant for scarves) to the rescue! The "Warm Bodies" star was out for a walk in Toronto when he heard cries for help that directed him to Jim Walpole, who had tripped and suffered a deep cut on his neck that was gushing blood, according to CBC Toronto News. "The way he was spurting I thought it was the carotid [artery] pr the jugular," Walpole's wife, Marilyn, says, adding that Malkovich was soon "taking over just like a doctor," applying pressure to the wound with his scarf with the assistance of a local restaurant owner. "They were so helpful, so wonderful," Walpole recalls. "I asked, 'What's your name?' He said, 'John.' And I didn't ask the last name because I didn't figure I'd remember."

Arizona Cardinals
Carson Palmer - #3 - QB
|6' 5"/ 235 lbs.
|Fresno, CA
|Years played
|2003, 1st round, 1st pick by Bengals
Cards' outlook for Faneca, Sendlein hardly grim
Arizona's offensive line has changed a great deal, but O-line coach Russ Grimm is up for the challenge, especially with new OLG Alan Faneca and old C Lyle Sendlein in the mix.
Top 20 key players in NFC West
Dan Arkush identifies the top five players on each NFC West team who figure to play crucial roles, including Rams rookie QB Sam Bradford.
NFC West training-camp reports
In the final installment of our training-camp reports, we look at NFC West teams, including the Seahawks, who'll use Aaron Curry as a stand-up end.
Coryell's quarterbacks
The late Don Coryell managed to quickly turn a pair of quarterbacks who'd been struggling like hell into All-Pros aerialists — Jim Hart in St. Louis, Dan Fouts in San Diego.
Cardinals' new WR trio packs fantasy punch
You will be committing a cardinal sin if you don't at least consider Larry Fitzgerald, Early Doucet and Steve Breaston as legitimate fantasy options.
Willis tops among NFC West IDPs
While the NFC West arguably remains the league's weakest division, it is strong in terms of individual fantasy defenders, led by IDP superheavyweight Patrick Willis.
Cardinals sign rookie CB Calvin
The Cardinals have announced the signing of sixth-round CB Jorrick Calvin to a four-year contract. Terms were not disclosed for the second member of Arizona's draft class to agree to contract terms.
Cardinals sign rookie TE Dray
The Cardinals got the ball rolling on the rookie contract front Thursday with the signing of seventh-round TE Jim Dray to a four-year contract.
Hightower could be Cardinals' third-down back
Even though he's listed first on the depth chart as the starting RB ahead of Chris "Beanie" Wells, we hear Tim Hightower could be the top candidate for the Cardinals' third-down-RB role.
Passing guru Coryell dead at 85
Former Chargers and Cardinals head coach Don Coryell died at 3:15 p.m. PDT Thursday at the age of 85 at Sharp Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa, just outside San Diego. The cause of death wasn't disclosed, but ...

Cardinals make changes to scouting department
Kyle Johnson has joined the Cardinals as a college scout, and several other changes in the personnel department were announced by the team Monday.
Schedule must be weighed in predicting outcomes
Don't tell me the schedule doesn't matter in the NFL. Here's a look at teams that will benefit the most and be hindered the most by whom they play this season.
The Arizona Cardinals have acquired quarterback Carson Palmer from the Oakland Raiders. The Cardinals gave up a conditional 2014 draft pick and swapped one of their sixth-round picks this year for Oakland's seventh-round selection.||||||| Palmer, who agreed to rework his contract with the Cardinals, is expected to move into the starting quarterback role for new Arizona coach Bruce Arians.
Palmer suffered cracked ribs and a bruised lung after a hard hit by Carolina linebacker Greg Hardy and will not play in the team's final game.||||||| Palmer was hit in the back by Hardy late in the first quarter while rolling out to throw. Hardy appeared to lead with his helmet and drew an unnecessary roughness penalty on the play. Raiders coach Dennis Allen said he is undecided whether to start Matt Leinart or Terrelle Pryor in place of Palmer.
Palmer topped 300 yards for the third straight game and had two touchdowns Sunday, but he also had one interception returned for a score and threw another in the end zone during a 38-17 loss to New Orleans.||||||| Palmer has 1,094 yards and eight TDs in his three games this month but has also been intercepted six times. He has 17 touchdowns and 11 interceptions this season.
Palmer was 29 of 45 for 368 yards, two touchdowns and an interception against Baltimore on Sunday.||||||| Palmer has been intercepted nine times in as many games this season, but continues to be a decent fantasy play if only because the Raiders are one of the NFL's most pass-happy teams. Palmer has attempted 45-plus passes in five contests this season.
Palmer threw for 414 yards and had three of his four touchdowns in the fourth quarter as Oakland lost 42-32 to Tampa Bay on Sunday. Palmer, though, also had three INTs.||||||| Palmer is on pace for his third 4,000-yard season.

Quick, Easy and Stylish
Joyful Wishes Folded Christmas Cards I used Magnetstreet for my wedding save the dates and invitations and they did a great job. Again, I trusted them with my Christmas cards and they turned out great. I think this design looks even better in person and picture was very clear. I changed the color of the block behind "JOY" to dark green to be more holiday looking, and then changed the text to a cream color. I also changed the typeface to something more traditional looking and our names to a green to match the front. I also added a bible verse about joy to the top inside panel. The cardstock is very sturdy too. The only thing that I was a bit disappointed in was the size of the print. It came out a lot smaller than I thought and did not fill as much of the space on the card as I wanted. I used size 9 font, and would recommend maybe a size 10. It's still readable and very pretty. The order shipped very quickly and within a week my cards were made, delivered and I've mailed them out. Thanks!
Amazing Outcome
Dear Santa Folded Christmas Cards I needed my order expedited due to some personal issues. I included a note in the online order I submitted and was hoping for the best. I was called later that same day by a MagnetCard rep. The rep assured me that they were going try and meet my needs. When I arrived home today a package was at my door and the cards were iniside, 3 days earlier than I expected. To say the least, they met my needs and exceeded the goal they set forth. I cannot thank you enough MagnetCard. You have a customer for life. Oh, and to top it off the cards were perfect!
Great Quality
Dotted Ribbon Folded Christmas Cards The card exceeded our expectations. The paper quality was better than "off the counter" at the store and personalized pictures came out fantastic on the card. The cards were delivered early which was also a huge plus. Great job and we'll see you again next holiday season.
beautiful cards and wonderful service!
Christmas Seal Folded Christmas Cards We absolutely love them; they stand out from the rest with the color and design. Our designer even got the print from our wedding bow ties and put it in our design for us! The material is great but would be nice to be able to write on it. And we got our order in 5 days from approval. We are thrilled! Thank you again!
Loved it - yet again
Elegant Ornaments Folded Christmas Cards Looks great - only feedback is that the photo looks much darker than it did online in the proof

Gretna Racing LLC attempted to argue that barrel racing was a form of Quarter Horse racing (Photo by Jami Dwyer/WikiCommons).
Last week the Florida First District Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling that "barrel horse racing" was not a legitimate form of horse racing eligible for Pari-Mutuel wagering in the state of Florida.
The ruling came as good news to horse breeders in Florida, who have been fighting this legal battle since 2011 when Florida issued a license to Gretna Racing LLC to operate a racino and card room.
In Florida, card rooms and racinos must be connected to a licensed horse racing facility. Gretna was hoping that by convincing lawmakers that "barrel racing" and "flag drop racing" were forms of Quarter Horse racing, they could operate their card rooms and racinos without the expense of operating an actual real-life racetrack.
Florida Quarter Horse breeders have been fighting them every step of the way, arguing that it will irreparably harm the legitimate Quarter Horse racing industry.
But just what is "barrel racing" and "flag drop racing"?
Both types of races are common gymkhana or O-Mok-See events. Gymkhana and O-Mok-See are equestrian events that involve pattern racing; timed events where riders take turns completing courses or challenges. Barrel racing is also a common event at professional rodeos, usually for female riders, and has been growing in popularity over the years.
In a barrel race, riders take turns completing a cloverleaf pattern between barrels in a ring. Each rider's run is timed by a judge or by an electronic timer. The rider with the fastest time is declared the winner.
In flag drop races, a rider has to complete a similar course of barrels in an arena, only in this type of race the rider has to alternate dropping flags from one bucket and picking them up from another. This type of race combines the speed of the horse with the agility of the rider, who has to both control the horse and manage the flags.
Again, the run is timed and the times of each rider are compared to determine a winner.
These events are certainly exciting, as evidenced by the growing popularity of women's barrel racing at major rodeos around the country. Some rodeos have even started holding the barrel racing events after the bull riding events because of how popular they are with fans.
What's at issue in Florida, however, isn't whether or not these events are legitimate forms of "horse racing." What is at issue is whether or not Gretna are the innovators of an entirely new form of Pari-Mutuel horse racing that will benefit riders, breeders and fans; or whether Gretna is attempting to exploit a loophole in the law so they can operate a casino without investing in the horse racing industry that has made brick-and-mortar gaming possible in the state.
What do you say? Would you like to watch and wager on this kind of racing? Or is this just a scam?

Anakin Skywalker
Discovered as a slave on Tatooine by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker had the potential to become one of the most powerful Jedi ever, and was believed by some to be the prophesied Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. A hero of the Clone Wars, Anakin was caring and compassionate, but also had a fear of loss that would prove to be his downfall.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
A legendary Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a noble man and gifted in the ways of the Force. He trained Anakin Skywalker, served as a general in the Republic Army during the Clone Wars, and guided Luke Skywalker as a mentor.
The Son was an embodiment of the dark side of the Force who dwelled on Mortis during the Clone Wars with his sister, the light-sider known as Daughter, and the powerful Force user known as Father, who tried to keep them in balance. Son sought to escape Mortis and wreak havoc in the galaxy, trying repeatedly to lure Anakin Skywalker to the dark side by changing form, possessing Ahsoka Tano and finally by showing Anakin a vision of the terrible acts he would commit. His efforts ultimately failed, culminating in his death along with those of Daughter and Father.
The Daughter of Mortis is a Force-wielder who aligns herself with the light side of the Force. An enigmatic being of tall stature who can transform into a griffin, she is the selfless counterpoint to her brother, the Son, who has allied himself with the dark side. Together they provide balance to the Force, a balance maintained and channeled through their Father.

A major storm hit the region, making a mess of the roads.
The bad weather is blamed for a death on Interstate 91 in Fairlee. Police say a Massachusetts tractor-trailer driver hit the guardrails and jackknifed. He got out of the big rig and was struck by another driver who couldn't see him because of a white out. The tractor-trailer driver died at the hospital.
And the winter weather is causing trouble on roads all across our region.
It was a mess for drivers on Interstate 89 southbound in Bolton Friday afternoon.
"It started with a chain reaction event," Vt. State Police Lt. Jim Whitcomb said.
A dozen cars ended up scattered along the shoulder and down a roadside ravine between Exits 11 and 10.
"One car at mile marker 68 southbound was off the road, troopers were responding. In the meantime, two vehicles went off the road into the center median as troopers arrived-- that reaction was starting," Whitcomb said.
State police redirected traffic as tow truck drivers worked to get drivers back on the road.
"We're all working hard to get the lanes opened up quickly, but we want everyone to be safe when we're doing it," Whitcomb said.
Police say no injuries were reported from those accidents.
The interstate wasn't the only place to see significant problems in the storm. Three delivery trucks got stuck in the snow blocking the road to Mad River Glen. About 100 drivers ended up leaving their cars on the shoulder as people hiked up the mountain to ski.
Police are reminding folks that no matter where you're heading behind the wheel, the best thing you can do to prevent more problems is to play it safe.
"Speed is really the key if we can keep staying slow and certainly even slow down more when you see red or blue lights in front of you," Whitcomb said.

"The Kids Are Gone and We're Strangers"
She SaysA Hollow Feeling
"I've been unhappy for a long time, but never allowed myself to acknowledge it," said a wistful Kate, 45. "But now that it's just the two of us, this emptiness won't go away."
"Phil and I have been together for 23 years. Our son, Ben, is a junior in college, and Meg graduated from high school in June. She's less independent than Ben, and I'm worried about how she'll manage at college. I'm upset enough about having them both gone; the fact that I feel as if I'm living with a stranger makes it worse. My husband and I occupy the same house, but we're emotionally alienated. We used to have such rich conversations -- about plays, books, current events -- but there are days now when we barely speak to each other."
"Frankly, I'm scared. Everyone keeps telling me how free I should feel, but I don't see it that way. I was very good at being a mom. Now, a period in my life that I loved is over. I'm just so sad: I'll be someplace like the supermarket, and the tears will start.
"Being a great wife and mother was my lifelong dream. Even as a girl I vowed never to get divorced because I knew the pain of a broken home. My parents split up when I was 3, and I moved with my father from Delaware to North Carolina. I gathered that Mom had had an affair, but Dad refused to talk about it. I didn't see her until I was 12, when she stopped briefly on her way to Miami. Over the years, I tried to have a relationship with her, but it was hopeless. I've finally given up. It all happened long ago, but I still feel this intense anger -- at my dad for taking me away from my mother and at her for letting him do it.The Beginning of a Family
"I met Phil the summer after I graduated from college. I was working at the local library. Phil came in -- he was from Boston and visiting his grandmother in North Carolina -- and I felt an instant spark. He was charming, funny, and cute in an all-American way. He invited me to dinner and, a week later, asked me to marry him. I accepted, but knew my dad and stepmother would flip out. So we had a long-distance romance for six months before breaking the news. When we did, my folks were delighted. Phil had just completed his engineering degree and had a job in New York. I moved up north, and we found a small house in the suburbs. Ben was born the following year, and we agreed I'd stay home. Meg was born three years later.
"I threw myself into motherhood. I sewed the kids' Halloween costumes myself -- no store-bought masks for my children -- baked cookies, decorated the house for every holiday. But it was hard to be both Mom and Wife. Phil is a great dad, but we'd quarrel because he'd want us to go away together for a weekend, and I felt uncomfortable leaving the kids with someone. On weekends, he wanted peace and quiet, but I loved the hubbub of having our kids' friends running in and out.

Last year Frank Ocean toyed with his fans' musical interest when he said that a track featuring Nas called "No Such Thing as White Jesus" was expected to appear on the Singers Grammy-nominated album, "Life Is Good." The collaboration was unfinished, because of a studio mess up.
It now appears that the lost track will finally be released to the public, according to the song's producer, Hit-Boy. Frank Ocean recently explained to MTV News that the music has been found following a mix up with Kanye West's engineer.
On The Track:
"It got mixed up with some drives that Kanye's engineers had, and they finally sent it back and I got the files now," he said. "Nas' manager reached out, and he's excited. I don't know exactly what's gonna happen with it yet, but that song is gonna be heard by the world one day."
"Me and Frank went in the studio a while ago and he just wrote the hook, just blindly, we just wanted to create," the producer said, explaining how the song came about. "He played it for Nas, and as soon as he played it he texted me and was like, 'Yo, Nas went crazy.'"
While the world waits for the release of "No Such Thing as White Jesus," the two Def Jam labelmates are both up for a number of nominations at this year's 55th Annual Grammy Awards, taking place Feb. 10 at Los Angeles' Staples Center.

Tracy Smith – This is for You
When this site was created the sole focus at the time was analyzing college football recruiting numbers and investigating whether or not oversigning really existed and to what degree. Now that our site has received some exposure, we are receiving a lot of emails and a lot of links to articles and other sites that are talking about oversigning.
Today we received a link to a baseball blog and an interview with Indiana Head Coach Tracy Smith. Before we go into the interview with Coach Smith and his comments regarding oversigning, we want to point out that we know very little about baseball recruiting rules and simply haven't had time to expand our research into other sports. To be quite honest, we really had no idea that oversigning was such a big issue in football until we really started talking to people about it and investigating the numbers, and we didn't realize it even existed in baseball.
At least now there is a place where people all over the country can funnel information regarding oversigning, regardless of where it takes place and in what sports, and it can be collected and read in one place here at oversigning.com. In the end, our hope is that we are able to help coaches like Tracy Smith who recognize the issue with oversigning.
Thus far, we have been able to identify that oversigning affects college athletics in the following ways:
1. When abused, oversigning does a disservice to players by enabling coaches to discard unwanted players or players from a previous coach's program.
2. It contributes to the professionalization of college athletics (we received an email today to an article where Boise State's President speaks about the professionalization of college athletics - hope to have something up on that soon as well).
3. It creates a competitive advantage against schools that are not allowed to oversign.
Coach Smith speaks directly to item number 3 in his interview below:
However, what gets little discussion, and is probably this biggest reason the conference struggles to compete on a national level consistently is the fact that other conferences can over-sign. Teams in the Big Ten that recruit a significant number of high level talent have to lay back and wait to see how the draft plays out on how many guys they are going to lose.
Coach Smith goes on to mention that his conference has acknowledged that their teams are at a disadvantage and will now allow teams to oversign by 1 scholarship spread out over 2 players. Smith continues...
It does help, but when other schools are over signing by 6-8 scholarships, the playing field is not even close to being even. The part that drives me nuts is nobody talks about this issue. Everyone wants to talk about weather, and huge stadiums, etc., as being the things the hold our conference back, but it's not. The issue of over-signing is the real problem.
My friends who coach at southern schools laugh when I tell them that we can't over-sign kids until our underclassmen physically sign a contact. They are like, "how in the heck do you guys recruit?" I have my response down to a science now, I put my hands behind my back and say, "like this."
That said, I am not saying I agree with over-signing to the level most southern do it, because it can create some ugly scenarios where kids are "run off." Again, too many reasons and not enough time to respond. But what I would like to see is some consistency with regard to the issue of over-signing.
Here Coach Smith echoes something we believe needs to happen in college football:
I like the limits our conference has put on over-signing. Now, if we could get the rest of the country to buy into the Big Ten Conference's rules, wouldn't it be great? However, I say again, why would they? They are at too much of a competitive advantage under the current system to want to change.
As someone who is trying win every game I play, I guess I understand their position. But if the NCAA wants to do what is "right," it will address the issue of over-signing, and adopt legislation that truly benefits our student-athletes all the while creating a more competitive environment for all of college baseball, not just some of it.
It really doesn't get any more cut and dry than this. These are comments from a Division 1 Head Coach, not an opinion from a blogger or some guy on a message board. Oversigning is a real issue and it is just a matter of time until the NCAA is forced to do something to close the loophole so many coaches and schools are exploiting.
There you go Coach Smith, this post was for you. Hope it helps and thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions on oversigning so openly, college athletics needs more coaches like yourself.
Thanks again to the reader who sent us this link - good stuff!!

The Haverhill Gazette
---- — Recycling is critical for the future of Haverhill.
We have worked hard at recycling household items, but efforts now go well beyond bins of paper, glass and plastic. Our downtown is going through an exciting and much-needed revitalization. Revitalization is nothing more than recycling on a larger scale. Our once-proud shoe factories, long disregarded and in disrepair, are finding new life as condominiums, apartments and retail space. Several empty, dilapidated buildings destined for decay have gotten a second chance. Their continued transformation will give Haverhill a second chance as well.
Haverhill was once a shoe-manufacturing giant. Our downtown is full of old mills that reflect the city's economic history. Shoes were produced in great quantity during Haverhill's glory days of the 19th century, but changes in the manufacturing industry and the effects of the Great Depression left Haverhill struggling by the mid-20th century. Sadly, at the time our city leaders chose the drastic option of destroying historic downtown buildings instead of finding new uses for them. Under the guise of urban renewal, they tore down our history and our identity. They had no vision. Let us hope that we never make that mistake again.
One old building that never fails to catch my attention and imagination is the Stevens Mill at the corner of Winter and Stevens streets. Once proud and prominent, that mill now stands as a monument to urban decay. Abandoned, boarded up and covered with graffiti, the building is an eyesore.
I photographed the mill last winter and could not help worrying about its future. From the outside, the mill appears ripe for demolition. However, a recent article in The Eagle-Tribune gave me and the city a glimmer of hope for this grand old mill. An investor is looking into renovating the property for a housing project. The exterior may look rough, but this mill was built to last. The strength and character of this building and others like it remain the foundation of Haverhill's history and future.
Recycling has proven to be very successful, but in today's mainstream society we still regard too many things as disposable. Electronic devices, furniture and houses are routinely thrown out or torn down. The cost and inconvenience of repairing things serves as justification for our thirst for something "new.'' Going Green is the current, necessary mentality to ensure the sustainability of our environment. Green is good, but old red brick and mortar mills are good, too. Haverhill once relied on these mighty structures for our economic prosperity. Many years later, we still do.
Email suggestions of Haverhill people and places to photograph to Don Toothaker at email@example.com.

"N8 - email.
Add two menu items -
1. "mark all".
2. "delete all".
Rather than current:
1. mark/mark all/move to folder etc (could be done with two presses - mark all/move..)
2.mark/mark all/delete (ould be done with one press - delete all)
15-03-2011 0:41
Needs an option to choose where sms messages are stored or the move messages option needs to be able to move them to another memory type eg mass memory or card so you can copy them off the phone. If the backup is as bad as on the N86 then it will only backup messages stored in C so anything on Mass memory is trapped in the phone as you cannot back it up or move/copy it off. This is especially annoying if the phone switch feature is flaky as it means you cannot take a copy of messages when you change phones.
Make disable touchscreen and screen saver timeouts seperate so you can turn off the screenlock but still have a short screen saver time. At the moment you only have one option so the screen stays lit up for whatever time the lock is set to regardless of when the backlight is due to go off.
Connection inspector that shows you what app is messing about with the flipping wifi when it has been told not to scan but it keeps on using it.
Camera UI isn't great. Needs to be like the N86 in the later firmwares.
Improved phone switch that can actually copy data properly without taking forever or corrupting the phone. A skip option so you could go onto the next thing when it gets stuck would be very helpfu. If you redo the transfer then it starts right back at the beginning rather than picking up where it left off or just after if it got stuck. Also if you have a lot of one type of thing eg messages there is no way of picking just a folder or doing it in batches which might help the time and hanging issues. For some reason using the phone switch is monumentally slower than bluetooth should be. If you bluetooth images directly they transfer in no time. If you use phone switch they take ages. Makes no sense.

Simply add a shortcuts bar to the home screen
then in homescreen edit mode, tap the shortcuts bar and select settings
add the 4 apps you want
01-04-2011 21:14
@synth_fg: thanks! that was one of my pet peeves and now its solved. ('course, now I feel like a tool for not finding it out sooner )
one suggestion I would make is to have messages auto delete after a specified length of time: ie 30 days (unless of course its already available and I just can't find it)
03-04-2011 22:18
> Marking messages/sms is very painful, need mark/unmark options next to the mesages.(Like in Gallery). IT should mark/unmark on a single tap.
>Need an option to move entire conversation to a folder. This would be really helpful to move and sort messages from different people easily.

Well how about some basic features?
1. Stopwatch
2. Timer
3. When I enter a birthday into a contact I would like that entered into my calendar, otherwishe I'll never know when somebody has a birthday.
4. Little less subfolder Application-Office etc....

I want the full version Myriad Alien Dalvik. So I can run android apps on my phone nokia n8!
01-07-2011 15:48
Here are some new improvments you should had to the Nokia N8 :
- For French users, an "AZERTY" keyboard on landscape and portrait view.
- Add an alarm and/or an agenda event for each contact's birthday.
- Ability to use the Xeon flash from the camera as a flash light (for few seconds for example, in order to find out the keyhole for example)
- Ability to adjust the volume of the SMS ringtone
- Get lastfm and deezer application
- Get Flash 10.1 and HTML 5 compliance
- Get Java 6 compliance
- Synchronization between Symbian calendar/agenda and Google calendar/agenda.
- Add a "Nickname" field in contacts info
- Don't lock the screen when a phonecall ends
- Implement a "blacklist" where we can add unlimited phone numbers
- Add temporary phone numbers and/or contacts for people doing carpool (with an adjustable length, in days for example, from 1 day to 30 days for example. Then the contact is automatically deleted).
- Improve the proximity sensor because it always ends with "Suspend the call" because my cheek is touching the screen while I'm calling... Or automatically lock the screen when the green button is pushed to answer a call
- It should be great to add a function that collects the info about a contact on Facebook (for example : phone number, postal address and birthday) and add these info on the contact currently registered in the phone. For example, currently on the N8, we could have the first tab with photo + "link to Social Networks" + phone number. On the second tab we could have for example the last status on Facebook, First name, Last name, phone number, postal address and birthday. And every time the current date is a birthday, we should have an alarm and an event on the calendar. I know from a friend which owns a Windows Mobile Phone that WMP 7 is doing something similar, you should check it out on Youtube.
01-07-2011 23:05
I agree with KADET, I just want more games. I'm sick of all these **bleep** games we are getting, and if we get Myriad Alien Dalvik for our phone it would solve alot of the hassles.
The only other things I would like fixed is the Browser, the Wifi connection ( it loses connection to my modem many times) and that's about all really.
Other then those few things it's a great phone.
BUT THE ONE THING I REALLY WANT IS Myriad Alien Dalvik so I can run games on our phone.
02-07-2011 3:59
iam very unhappy to inform you that nokia has not added the SEQUENCE MODE in N8's camera. it is a very good option. so please add the same atleast in upcoming version...
02-07-2011 10:36

Not possible with a Xenon flash, but there are a number of "Torch" apps in the Ovi Store which will illuminate the screen. Personally I use Nokia Bubbles from Beta Labs which has this function.

Look in Ovi Store, http://store.ovi.com/content/83318 is the Deezer app, http://store.ovi.com/content/75692 gives access to LastFM
I believe that there are also "blacklist" apps in the store.

This is possible using Mail for Exchange.

It is already possible. When looking at the contact, choose "options" > "edit", and then "options" > "add detail" and you will be able to add the "nickname" field to the contact
04-07-2011 11:20

A simple re-start widget!!! added menu items to hold down. ability to add single widgets to the home screens, not always a whole shortcut block. LARGER FAVORITES PICTURE BLOCK, SIMILAR TO SPB FAVORITES. ACTUALLY, THERE ARE A FEW SPB SHELL THINGS THAT WOULD BE GOOD
18-07-2011 16:20
A couple of suggestions, I haven't read all the previous posts so they may have been covered.
- Ability to invite guests to calendar events.
- HTML5 support in the browser.
- FM Transmitter to send current track details as RDS.
- Stop it freezing for 10-20 seconds everytime I send a text.
20-07-2011 16:16
I want Non-stop music playing... When i'm listening a mixed album is ugly the "silence" between two songs. i mean, the gap between two songs.
Will be great to eliminate that gap between songs.

The Washington Nationals must win Thursday's game or go home for the winter. In such games, it's often good to set the tone by scoring first.
Kyle Lohse is a tough pitcher who has had one of the best years of his career in 2012, and is a candidate for the National League's Cy Young Award.
Never mind that, said Nats first baseman Adam LaRoche. LaRoche worked Lohse to a 3-2 count, then fouled off three straight offerings from the Cardinals righthander before smashing a 92 mile-per-hour sinker over the center-field wall for a home run, giving Washington the 1-0 lead. It was LaRoche's second home run of the series.
The game headed to the third inning, with Washington's Ross Detwiler having held the Cardinals scoreless through the first two frames.

Colin Read, Everybody's Business
— I am most heartened when I see examples of ways that government can leverage the best resources among us to make our economy stronger. The recent proposal by Gov. Andrew Cuomo called Tax-Free NY is one such mechanism — if it can be implemented to its utmost effectiveness.
The governor's concept is not unfamiliar. Cuomo and SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher believe that our universities are community resources. Of course, we have always understood that they educate our children and allow them to be more productive. That benefits the overall economy, too. However, there is also a broader vision.
Our colleges harbor the expertise needed to advance our economies. Some expertise is devoted to imparting knowledge to the next generation. Some is used to govern the college and ensure it remains relevant and useful as our economy's and society's needs evolve. But, a good share of that expertise ought to stand ready to be tapped by our community in ways outside the classroom.
Of course, we all devote our energies to help our communities. We help our churches, our community-service groups, our school boards and our town councils. Some of those efforts are part of good citizenship, some are in a professional capacity.
I have CPA friends who lend their expertise to help with the books of non-profit organizations. Dentists and doctors offer their services at free clinics. Those who are skilled with their hands help build schools in Nicaragua, or rebuild our own communities when they are damaged by floods. There are many ways each of us can use our skills.
A college is a storehouse of such skills. The governor's initiative encourages universities to reach out to our business sector and help them in any way we can. The state will ante up, too, by offering tax advantages to new businesses willing to create jobs here.
There are aspects of this approach that concern me. Too often, we offer tax benefits to create jobs but then find those jobs or profits go elsewhere, sometimes to very large out-of-state entities.
I am also concerned that this initiative may favor new, large businesses but will not help the small businesses or initiatives that are the life blood of our community.
Still, I believe there are ways to make Cuomo's concept work, if it is done in a collaborative manner with our local workforce, businesses and university.
If we can figure out how to transform university assets into community resources, we will be richer for it, economically and culturally. There are examples of communities where their colleges are the economic engines that allow businesses to innovate. Research parks, industrial centers located near campuses, elaborate lifelong learning centers, a downtown arts scene fueled by campus talent, and even a cadre of consultants and college staff who volunteer are but some of the ways other college towns have married community and university.
I realize I am proposing, and Cuomo and Zimpher are advocating, a more inclusive view of the university. I have always considered public service to be more of a calling than a job. I prefer to be devoted to public service, not employed as a public servant. If we wanted to attract a priest to a local church, we would explore how that individual can enhance our community beyond the hour-long sermon and ceremony once a week. We want to see them take their wisdom and compassion and touch our community well beyond those who come to worship. Their calling ought to make our community a better place, hour by hour.
Imagine if colleges could serve our communities more broadly than through classroom teaching. I imagine that is what the SUNY had in mind when it spread colleges across our state. In fact, only a minority of our students come from Clinton County. If our colleges were not designed to serve the community in broader ways, we should perhaps just have one big college located in the middle of the state.
People understood the greater potential for our colleges and for SUNY well before Cuomo and Zimpher reminded us of a broader mission. I am glad they are trying to reinvigorate the concept, and I hope we can embrace their efforts for the good of our community.

I wish this was my house but, sadly, it isn't. It's Forty Hall, a Grade I listed manor house now owned by the London Borough of Enfield. It was originally built in the early 17th century for Sir Nicholas Rainton, a leading haberdasher who later served as Lord Mayor of London. The house has been a museum since 1951 and recently re-opened following a complete renovation and refurbishment.
I thought it would be interesting to find something about Forty Hall among our records so I decided to look it up in the Valuation Office survey. This survey was carried out in the years leading up to the First World War to assess the base rate for a new property tax called increment value duty, which had been introduced under the Finance (1909-10) Act 1910. Although increment value duty proved controversial and the legislation was repealed in 1920, 1 the surviving records of the survey now have a second 'life' in the archives. They are now one of the most popular sources for house history and local history, and are often used by family historians and professional researchers too.
- 1. If you are interested in the historical context of the survey, you might like to read Brian Short, Land and Society in Edwardian Britain (Cambridge, 1997). ^

- Notebook models not available through the Mobile Monarch Student Notebook Program are not eligible for hardware support in the Technical Support Center. Hardware repairs for excluded notebooks/manufactures must be arranged for by the student and obtained from off-campus service providers.
- Students who do not purchase a Mobile Monarch Student Notebook are not eligible for loaner notebooks when their non-program notebook is being serviced.
- Software assistance is available for non-program notebooks.
Mobile Monarch FAQ
Who is eligible to participate in the Mobile Monarch program?
Any new or current ODU student is eligible to purchase a notebook from the Monarch Techstore. Faculty and Staff may also participate by presenting their ODU ID card.
What if I already own a notebook or desktop computer?
Students may bring non-program notebooks on campus if that notebook meets the minimum standards set by the University. The suitability and operation of a non-program notebook is the full responsibility of the student. Non-program notebooks are eligible for limited technical support, and it is the responsibility of the student to purchase and load the recommended academic software.
What if I am a part-time student?
Part-time students are also eligible to participate.
Are there other notebook requirements at ODU outside of the Mobile Monarch Program?
Some schools and degree programs have their own specific notebook requirements separate from Mobile Monarch. You are encouraged to contact your department to determine the particular details of your program's requirement before purchasing a computer.

We recommend ordering by the end of July before you enter the Fall Semester. You can also purchase your notebook when you arrive on campus from the Monarch Techstore in Webb Center.
Why can't I just go to my closest retail store and buy a $300 computer?
You can, but beware; it may not be the best investment for your academic needs. Mobile Monarch notebooks are built with the student in mind and are made to last you for 4+ years. Mobile Monarch computers are typically business class systems with high quality components and features that ensure a safe and reliable computing environment.
What types of notebooks are offered?
What operating system and software will be included?
Dell notebooks come with Windows 8 Professional and Apple notebooks have Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) installed.

This software is available at the Monarch Techstore for $77 or available for purchase at the Online Store.

Any accidental damage covered by this service can be repaired at the on-campus service center. Cosmetic damage is not covered under Dell's CompleteCare agreement.

Diner Reviews
This was really disappointing. The
food was fine, but the service was so terrible that it counterbalanced anything good that came out of the kitchen. We ordered a cheese plate to start with, and when we were less than half way through the waitress told us she had to take it away to make room for the rest of the food. We asked to keep it, and she picked up the crackers with her bare hands, threw them onto one of our eating dishes, and took the rest away! Instantly, the four small plates we had ordered came out all at once (only lukewarm), so we had to eat very quickly to try to get it while it was kind of hot. We left less than 50 minutes after arriving, having been rushed through our meal (in a restaurant that wasn't even 1/4 full)."

I had eaten some tapas at the bar
2 years ago and when I came back to formally dine, I was surprised just how the meat an vegetable tapas were. Perfect sizes for sharing. And best of all was the consistently strong sense of customer service. Thank you for a wonderfully warm and fun dining experience."
Dined on 8/21/2014
My girlfriend and I went here for
Thursday dinner. Seating and service were quick. Off the restaurant week menu, we ordered grilled squid, green beans and squash with buttermilk dressing, bison short ribs, duck dish, chocolate flight, and grilled peach. All of the dishes were amazing and well-cooked. The restaurant can get a little noisy as the wine consumption increases, but overall it is a great place to wine and dine. Highly recommended!"
Dined on 8/14/2014
Dined during restaurant week and
truly got a feel of the entire menu and style of Vinoteca. Food and cocktails were delicious and unique. Service was excellent. Great find and definitely going back soon!"

Had a great time time! Great
location and food was awesome- different! Loved the cauliflower :) server was tolerant of our large group."
Dined on 7/20/2014
I would be giving Vinoteca 4
stars, but it is just frustrating to make a reservation in advance, put in the notes that you prefer outdoor only to be told we can't accommodate that request. I knew that ahead of time, that they can't reserve outside due to the difficulty of managing outdoor reservations...I'm sorry, but isn't this what you do? I even tried to call ahead to see if there were any tables available outside so they could hold, but again I get the same response. I love the courtyard for pre-dining and the front for dining. If I the night is beautiful, I would contact the 6 person party with a reservation at 8:00 if they wanted to sit outside, and make it happen. I will definitely go back, but it probably won't be as frequently."
Dined on 7/18/2014
Vinoteca brunch is absolutely
delicious and well priced in a city of stupidly over priced brunches. Good drinks too. Just really loud, even with just a few tables around you....It's so open and hollow inside that noise bounces off everything. Found myself yelling across the table and for my friends to still have trouble hearing me. I'd sit outside if the weather isn't too hot."
Dined on 6/29/2014
I had been to Vinoteca once before
for brunch when it first opened and remembered it was a pretty cute place. This time I went for my bday dinner with a group of 7 and it was great. The hostesses were great when I called 3 times to add people to the reservation and even called the day off to confirm I didn't have any more changes :) we ended up ordering pretty much every app- several of each, and it was perfect. They also have a great selection of wine and our waitress was very attentive. Definitely want to go again and try their main entrees! All of my friends plan on coming back as well."
Dined on 6/28/2014
A great place for small plates
(hordevers) and great atmosphere in the heart of U Street near Bohemian Jazz Club. The pasta was fresh and exploded with taste. The chicken was a little dry but the asparagus, house salad with buttermilk dressing and potatoes made up for it. The service was excellent."
Dined on 6/28/2014
Loved sitting outside. The food
was great (a tad expensive) and the wine list was similarly very well presented; however, when sitting outside be sure to ask for a seat closer to the entrance of the patio. Do not sit near the bushes/trees at the left end (facing the building) if you can help it! There is a liquor store there and it is very hard to enjoy a good conversation or meal with people hawking up spit, smoking, and loudly cursing right next to you. I am all for a city outside dining experience - but good lord.."
Dined on 6/27/2014
The service inside was absolutely
horrible but the food was very good and so were the mimosas. They have bottomless mimosas which is awesome, and they have outside seating in the front and the back of the restaurant so it has a really great atmosphere. It took us forever to get our drinks once we sat down at our table, but luckily the bus boy made up for that (he was great!). I would recommend this place despite the bad service we received. Perhaps our server was having a bad day."
Dined on 6/14/2014
They had a lot of neat sounding
snacks that I had high hopes for but almost all of them fell short in some way. Maybe the B team was working in the kitchen that night. The sangria tasted cheap and too sweet with fruit clearly added right before serving rather than soaked in the alcohol. Thats the kind of thing I'm referring to with each item ordered falling somewhat short. For the cost and the fact that I was underwhelmed I will not be returning."
Dined on 6/5/2014
This was our first time at
Vinoteca for a late Friday dinner. The tapas were delicious and well presented. The wines were also excellent and paired well with the food. Standouts were the Ahi tartare and the different types of bruschetta. Our server, Zach, was very outgoing and well versed in the food and wine options. I'd recommend Vinoteca and plan to return again soon. "
Dined on 5/30/2014
You'd think the server would know
to pour my red wine in the red wine glass and his white in the white wine glass... Food was good, wine selection ok, VERY LOUD! "
Dined on 5/21/2014
The small plates and wine are
always fantastic here. "
Dined on 5/9/2014
We wanted to try a new place for
our anniversary dinner and Vinoteca was the perfect location. We sat outside on the front patio and with the bistro tables and overhead strung lights it was very cozy. The wine list was huge and so our waiter helped guide us through it based on what we liked. We had some cheese and prosciutto to start and I could have just ate cheese all night! But we did order entrees where were great! It was a little noisy with fire trucks from U street, but that is unavoidable. "
Dined on 5/6/2014
I went to Vinoteca for Sunday
brunch. With all the new places in the U Streeet area I thought that it would be a good out of the way spot. I couldn't have been more wrong. The main dining room was packed, as was the front & back patio. The food was good, but they didn't have the staff to cover the volume. We were seated at our reservation time, but no waiter came over for a good 15 min. When he finally did we ordered, and never saw our waiter again. Runners brought the drinks & food, and finally the check. It was so bad it was comical. There are too many good places for brunch in DC to spend $ on being ignored. I will not be going back. "
Dined on 5/4/2014
We reserved a table a week in
advance and were looking forward to the wine bar experience for a mothers and daughters "date". We were sat immediately, however a server didn't even get to us until 20 minutes later. It seemed like they only had 1 server for the entire busy restaurant which is unacceptable. It was incredibly loud and you had to practically scream to talk to others at your table. If they just closed in the wall separating the bar and seating area I think it would be a bit more relaxing. Overall though, the wine and food were delicious. They have some unique wine flights which are fun, too. Just don't go expecting a romantic atmosphere because it is better for groups (which we were at least)."
Dined on 5/3/2014
My friends and I have brunched
here more times than I can count. Always delicious food, always great service. Highly recommend! "

Good food, great location and
decent drink prices - $3 mimosas etc :)"
Dined on 4/19/2014
I had never been here before, but
had heard good reviews from friends. Two close friends were visiting and I made reservations for dinner. The hostess was very friendly and took me to our table -- I came straight from the office and arrived 30 minutes before our reservation time. The server was just as friendly and accommodating. She recommended a delicious glass of wine, and once my friends arrived, we ordered the cheese and charcuterie tasting plates. Both were a very nice selection, but the cheese servings were tiny for 3 people to share. For dinner, I ordered the pasta with a pureed cauliflower sauce and it was incredible. My friends ordered the bison and tuna, both were equally tasty. I look forward to the next time."
Dined on 4/17/2014
Vinoteca is a happening place with
earnest servers and well prepared interesting food. The high noise level unfortunately detracted from the enjoyment of the experience when I was there. By the end of the evening everyone in the dining room was shouting to be heard by their tablemates. If the dining area could be protected from the bar this problem would be lessened and the food and wine could be properly appreciated."
Dined on 4/15/2014
We've dined at Vinoteca before and
have enjoyed it enough to want to return. Not so this time. The service was terrible - incredibly slow, and we asked for everything to be brought out at the same time since some of us ordered main courses and others ordered small plates. The small plates came out one by one, then the main course (ordered by someone who didn't order a small plate) well over an hour later. The wait might have been worth it if the food had been stellar, but it wasn't. Some of the dishes were passable, and the bison was reportedly very good, but others not. Overall, a very disappointing experience."

Came here with my friend for
brunch and even though the view isn't great we loved sitting outside on their front patio (I highly suggest asking for a seat at their back patio instead). Service was great and the food met expectations. I would go back again."
Dined on 3/22/2014
This was my second time at
vinoteca. Their menu is great and it is very difficult to make a choice at brunch. The restaurant itself is small and not very suitable for large groups bc it can get very loud"
Dined on 3/22/2014
We went on a Friday night and the
inside was packed! So noisy and loud and energetic and then we are outside and it was nice and quiet and peaceful. We loved the food, lots of small plates. We got two different wine flights and had a really great, low maintenance meal. I've been twice and I'll keep going"
Dined on 3/21/2014
I have eaten at Vinoteca several
times, and this was the first time the service was really lax. I could have forgiven it if the place had been packed, but it wasn't even half full when we arrived. The food was very good but I hope they address the slowness in the service. Waiting 15 minutes for a glass of wine is unforgivable at a wine bar."
Dined on 3/20/2014
We had a fabulous brunch - food
was fresh, inventive, and oh so flavorful (wild mushroom omelet, home fries, pork sausage, french toast with lavender honey). You can't beat the $3 bellinis either. Decor and atmosphere are perfect but service was a little shotty. I'm looking forward to my next visit."
Dined on 3/16/2014
Went here for a late brunch with
two friends. Drinks and food were delicious, but service was spotty. The bussers were efficient but our waiter forgot to enter one of the orders and we ended up almost finishing our food before the last order came. The manager came over and apologized (though oddly the server didn't). Perhaps he was new to the job. In any case the atmosphere was nice, food was very tasty, and drinks were good too. Would likely come back here and give the service a second try."
Dined on 3/16/2014
We went to Vinoteca for brunch and
got the bottomless mimosas for $15. That turned out to be an excellent decision, as the staff were constantly coming by to refill our mimosas the entire time we were at our table, even after we paid our bill! (The food was delicious too!) Highly recommended. Great service."
Dined on 3/9/2014
Sitting at a four top (not in the
bar), the dining room was so loud that we couldn't talk across the table. I thought maybe once the happy hour crowd subsided, it would be better but it never changed. The menu is really interesting and inventive, the food was good, the server was ok; this would be a great place to dine alone or with someone you don't want to have long conversations with during dinner."
Dined on 3/7/2014
A group of us went for brunch on a

Hello, I went with a group of

We took my son and his girlfriend
here over the weekend and had very poor service and food was mediocre at best. We did really like the ambiance as it's very nice but then got really loud with a band right by our table."
Dined on 2/16/2014
They ran out of many items on the
Valentine's day menu which was particularly upsetting for a $95 pp price tag. I think to remedy this, they should have adjusted the price of the menu. On a positive note, they had a great wine selection."
Dined on 2/14/2014
I've been to Vinoteca multiple
times before and enjoyed the food and wine. This time they had a special 5 course tasting menu. I'm not sure if it was just too ambitious of a menu or what but the food was not good (except for the bison and the duck confit parsnip soup - which were delicious). The seafood didn't taste fresh and the pasta was heavy and chewy. The deserts were completely uninspiring. For a $60 tasting menu at a neighborhood place I was wildly disappointed. Not sure I'd go back unless it's for boce in the summer."
Dined on 2/14/2014
I wasn't only impressed with the
food but also the drinks. I don't often request mixed drinks, but the bitters that Vinoteca had were just amazing. The atmosphere was great, too, and the staff were friendly. Vinoteca was just a great place to be. I also like that it's next door to Solly's Tavern, so you can stop by Solly's before or after for some music upstairs."

Flash lures are one of the most popular jigging lures for ice fishing. Potential jigging sequences are limited only by your imagination and your interpretation of how fish are reacting.
Swimming lures designed to represent real baitfish are great wintertime baits. They tend to work best in clear water and specific spots, particularly during the changing light periods of dawn and dusk, when walleyes commonly feed during the winter period.
One of the simplest, most efficient, and most effective ways for walleyes during fall is shorecasting at night.
Forage choices, and not seasonality will dictate what types of baits to use, when fishing for Redfish.
Step 1: Depress button keeping your thumb on the spool to control the lure. Hold the rod and reel so that the handle is pointing upward for greater wrist flexibility.
In order to keep your reels in top condition you should lubricate key areas to ensure that your day on the water is a success. Use this diagram as a guide to locate and maintain these areas with the correct lubricant.
