Two men attacked in Thamesmead 'within 200 yards of each other'
Updated 12:02pm Tuesday 19th February 2013 in Bexley By Alan Woods
DETECTIVES are appealing for witnesses after two men were attacked within yards of each other in Thamesmead in the early hours of Friday morning.
In the first attack at 5:50am, a man in his 30s was attacked by three men between Summerton Way and Crossway.
Although the suspects made off empty-handed, they assaulted the man and tried to steal his personal property, leaving him with injuries to his hand and face.
Ten-minutes later, a man in his 50s was punched in the face and had his phone stolen as he was waiting at the Woolwich-bound bus stop in Manordene Road.
The suspects then made off in the direction of Summerton Way.
Officers say they are appealing for witnesses who saw a group of three or four white men in the Crossway area to get in touch.
They are described as being aged between 20 and 25 and one was wearing a black jacket with white stripes on the sleeves.
Another was wearing a red jumper and jacket.
Call the Bexley Police Robbery Squad on 020 8284 9203 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - An airplane crash Tuesday in Cumberland County has put a spotlight on the safety of experimental airplanes.
Pilot Sam Robinson, who is the Knoxville chapter president of the Experimental Aircraft Association, says recreational aircraft are safe.
Robinson built his own experimental aircraft, an RV10.
"The plane was built in our garage," said Robinson. "My wife and I built the plane."It took Robinson and his wife eight years to complete it. They were first able to fly it on December 28, 2011.
"It's really no different with an experimental than it is with a commercially-built airplane built in a factory," said Robinson.Robinson said there are hundreds of companies that provide kits to build airplanes, but you need to be careful and find one that is credible because once it is checked by the FAA you might not be able to fly your airplane."As you are building it," said Robinson, "It is a good idea to have people come and look at it that have built planes before."It also helped that Robinson is a mechanical engineer.
Robinson says he would not fly an experimental plane if it were not safe. "I do not feel it's a dangerous hobby," said Robinson. "If you look at the data over the last several years, the things causing accidents in experimental are the same things causing accidents in factory-built airplanes, a lot of pilot error."
Robinson hopes Monday's accident will not make people feel these type of planes are not safe.
Robinson says after you build a plane, FAA officials will inspect it and give it an airworthiness certificate.
He says one reason he decided to build a plane was the cost. Experimental planes are much cheaper. A plane like his that was commercially built could cost a half a million dollars. He paid $140,000.
Robinson says there is about a half dozen experimental planes at Island Home Airport, where he keeps his plane.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Nick Markakis, who suffered a wrist injury on May 29 in a loss to the Blue Jays, had to have surgery on the hamate bone in his hand. At the time, it was stated he'd be out from three to four weeks.
Looks like that timetable has been extended, but just by a bit:
With Terry Crowley watching, #Oroles' Nick Markakis took batting practice in Aberdeen. Swung easily and drove final pitch over rf wall.
— Rich Dubroff (@RichDubroff) July 2, 2012
That's good news for Markakis and for the team; the Orioles, who were in first place when he went down with this injury, have gone 13-16 since.
Of course, this doesn't mean Markakis will be back in the lineup any time soon; there will be the usual rehab stint, and with just a week left before the All-Star break, it's likely his return will be after the break ends.

22 oz. dark brown bottle. Some code (277B), but no freshness date.
Served in a nonic tumbler.
It pours a dull copper color with foamy 2" beige head and minimal lacing.
The smell is sweet malt upfront, followed by mixed fruit, spices, citrus and a dose of resinous hops. A distant smell of Life Savers Pineapple candy comes to mind.
While this is a citrusy hop-forward ale, there are nice balancing contributions from caramel malt, spices, candy, spruce and mild rummy flavors.
What's so impressive, is that this Winter Ale can provide a cozy and warm sensation without the clobbering ABV found in many seasonal brews nowadays, and for that reason I've felt compelled to mark Pike up a bit for this marvelous feat.
Shoulda bought 2 while I was out...

Seems a little strange to drink holiday brews in early November but I have wanted to try this for a few years now,glad to find it in my area now.Poured into an imperial pint glass a clear deep copper/amber with a thinner but lacy white head atop.Aromas are almost non existent with only a passing caramel and nutmeg note coming thru,dissapointed in that.Not as full as I would like for a winter warmer in the mouth,slightly fizzy.Buttery caramel and nutmeg spice flavors along with gentle drying/herbal hops,the orange peel offers light fruitiness in the aftertaste.I wanna like this beer more than I do but I cant,it just lacks a few things.

Review from BeerAdvocate magazine Vol. II Issue XI:
This is a holiday in the bottle, as it's brewed with orange peel, coriander, cinnamon and nutmeg. Towering light tan head comes right up to the rim of the glass and does not settle quickly at all; good stickage. There's a mild haze in this amber-colored brew. Very aromatic as the nose jumps from biscuity malt to the spicing and then to the woody herbal hops. Fluffy, moderate-sized body with a bit of smoothness on the palate. Hops make sure that they are present and accounted from the get-go, for ample bitterness and a lingering herbal flavor. Spicing rounds out the palate with the orange peel and coriander up front and the cinnamon and nutmeg in the back. Maltiness strolls up and cradles everything within a thick biscuity graininess. Dry in the end with some lingering hops, grain and coriander.
Wow, we found proof that a spiced Winter Warmer can be a session ale. Give credit to the perfect amount of spicing and the generous hopping. Again, holiday in a bottle.

Poured into brandy snifter from 22 oz bottle. Giving it every opportunity to deliver. Allowed to warm from cold beer fridge storage.
Good appearance, minimal head.
Somewhat flat tasting. Put "Hoppy" in the name you expect a little more. At 32 IBU, I think not. A little sting in the aftertaste that is a little off-putting. Nothing to offer worth noting.

22oz brown bomber with no freshness date.
Clear amber with some active bubble action that provides a dense lacing. Malty aroma with a mixing of spice and hop, coriander and orange peel are more up front. Smooth with a fluffy light to medium body, spicing is prevalent from the get go though never cross the line of being dominant. Maltiness almost has as sugar cookie and holiday bread flavor ... the spicing helps with that. Bitterness comes from both the hops and coriander, just enough to keep balance. Finishes semi-sweet with some lingering spice.
Compared to most of the spiced Winter Warmers out there this one is top shelf, it all comes down to balance.

22 oz bottle -- 2011 vintage.
Pours clear; iced tea color with a large,frothy, durable tan head. Moderate amounts of sticky lacing get left behind.
S: nice mix of 'winter spices' and medium malt.
T: spicing is a bit excessive for my tastes, and certainly not subtle. Some bitterness seems to come from the spicing rather than the hops, which are hard to detect over the spices.
M: near medium body; perhaps a bit light for style. Good, medium carbonation.
O: This winter ale is not alone in being over-spiced. Unfortunate, because the underlying beer may be quite good.

650ml bottle. I'm reminded of a now-tired Denis Leary rant about Santa Claus not being on the list of acceptable images to be on his beer bottle label.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium copper colour, with one finger of foamy, bubbly tan head, which leaves a smattering of droopy curtained lace around the glass as it readily recedes.
It smells of light biscuity caramel malt, a prominent display of drupe fruitiness, a mild white pepper note, and understated gingerbread spices - cloves and cinnamon, mostly. The taste is a slightly biscuity caramel malt, some wavering apple/pear fruity character, enduring gingerbread notes, the graininess and usual suspect spices, natch, including the advertised coriander, citrus, and spicy floral hops.
The carbonation is moderate in its supportive nature, the body a tacit medium weight, and fairly smooth. It finishes pretty dry, just a slight bit of biscuit malt wading into the emboldened spicy hops at the end.
A decent enough winter holiday ale, but reserved to a certain degree all around. The latent hoppiness is nice, but the malt and spices could be equally ramped up, to better ward off the encroaching seasonal pallor.

3.8/5 rDev +3.5%
Appearance - Pours a semi-hazy, deep amber color with an off-white, finger width head. Fair retention. Nice, thin layer of head remains floating on the surface, while lacing on the glass is streaky/spotty with fair stick.
Smell - Aroma is full of holiday wonder; notes of nutmeg, orange, cinnamon and gingerbread abound, rounded out by a pleasant floral hop presence.
Taste - Follows the nose. Strong, toasted bread notes with the spice of cinnamon and nutmeg creates a gingerbread-like flavor upfront, while the hops come through mid-taste and strengthen near the finish, with character that ranges from orange rind to floral and grassy bitterness in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Medium to full body, with moderate carbonation. Smooth. Finishes with a fair amount of dryness.
Overall - A good, solid Holiday brew. Nothing particularly original or noteworthy, but it's nice to drink on a cold, winter night.

A decent appearance of medium foggy yellow, with some soapy head. Thanks Trevor. A German style beer, with spices that are right there without being in your face. I taste the light orange, the nutmeg. Good drinkability and 5% appreciated. Carbonation is appropriate and the mouthfeel is above average.

When was the last time I had a Pike beer? I don't remember. I believe it was their XXX Stout and it was damn good. It's also hard to pass up a cheaper bomber too.
It pours out a dark amber-colored and murky beer. The head doesn't form up too thick. It's off-white and creamy. I get some lacing but not much.
There aren't any strong aromas coming from this. I get a toasty, grainy smell that has a big of phenol in there too. Hop smell is barely there. I get a bit of perhaps raisin and citrus. A tad sweet.
Grainy and slightly sweet malts come out most in the taste. It's a little toasty and this being a "hoppy" beer is not really true. Perhaps I can taste very faintly the cinnamon, coriander, and nutmeg in this but it's barely noticeable. The toasty grain and white sugar sweetness do make it pretty decent, though.
This is medium-bodied and drinkable. It's pretty smooth throughout with a dry finish.
Well, this is the first winter warmer style I've been disappointed with. It's not very flavorful. Most winter warmers are very malty, bordering on scotch ale malty, but this doesn't come anywhere near that. It also isn't very hoppy as the name would suggest. It's not bad...but it's not memorable.

3.18/5 rDev -13.4%
Poured into a 1 Pint + 6 FL OZs. a Tulip glass...
Appearance: Clear amber/copper beer with a patchy cream off-white foam head that clings to the sides of the glass.
Smell: Very pronounced orange hop aromas, spicy with background sweet malts and a faint bready grain aroma.
Taste: Not bad, very clean with a variety of flavors; orange, hops, and spice, without an over-load of alcohol, but still present.
Mouthfeel: is smooth and creamy with a malty thick full-body. The initial taste is orange with a hop assualt on the palate! A spicy, stinging and salty plethora of citric nuances literally overwhelm the senses. Earth, leaf and grass flavours pull-thru, then are followed by an alcohol presence and spiciness. The malt in this beer is definately present but gets its ass fiercly kicked by the hops. Malt includes some toasted, slightly bready and light honey flavours with an even malt sweetness. It hardly balances the beer, but does keep it somewhat control. Beer finishes with residual hop spice and malt sweetness, which tends to linger for some time.
Notes: This is my first Pike Beer in about 10 years (and I'm from Seattle!!!). I was impressed, but not 'floored,' just OK. Good for a Winter beer, suprised by the low alcohol %, but feel any more wouldn't improve the beer either. Bottom line, OK, not horrible.

This 5.0% ABV IPA pours amber/copper with 2 fingers of sand colored head. Good head retention & above average head retention
S: Breadyness & a bit of orange peel, plus some cinnamon and other spices as this warms
T: Citrussy hops, a bit of cinnamon, plus piney hops up front. Lemony & orange hops come to fore as this warms, plus vanilla, & a bit of caramel, along with more cinnamon & other spices, a bit of dryness. Finishes a bit wet with subdued orange, spices & a touch of lemony hops
MF: Light/medium bodied with low carbonation with pretty good balance
Drinks pretty good, this isn't an IPA IMO, more of a winter warmer. One you could have a few of, but after a while the spices would wear me down. I prefer more malt heft

22 oz bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a clear copper, with a ½ finger of foamy off-white head. This maintains some robust edges, leaving back a fizzy looking cascade of spotty lacing. The aroma smells, as advertised, of coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange. It's coming on pretty strong here in the nose. A light grass feel and some sweet maltiness sit along the back.
The taste is pretty much the same mix of spicy and zesty flavors, with the orange in particular standing out to me in a positive way and seems to be brought out a bit more by the sweetness of the malts. A green citric bitterness runs through the middle of this, leaving some firm bitter pith in the finish which lingers with some leftover spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and crisp on the tongue but then more smooth and creamy as this spreads out into the mouth. This is a nice feel that keeps an easy presence in the mouth.
I thought this was interesting mix of hops, malt, and holiday flavors but came on a little too strong for me with the spices. I did appreciate the lower ABV and easy feel here though, making this more drinkable than it should have been for me.

A - poured a slightly hazy copper, two fingers of off white head, retention and lacing both nice
S - orange zest, spices of nutmeg and cinnamon, some light piney hops, hints of roasty malt
T - the orange zest is very strong, and the cinnamon really gets into your nostrils, the nutmeg spiciness and hop bitter round out the finish with the orange still lingering
M - bubbly and spicy fills the mouth, leaving a dry and lasting tingling sensation that almost made me sneeze
D - given the name I was expecting more hop flavours, but still a fairly complex brew, and although the orange peel can be a bit overbearing, it is balanced and light enough to be very drinkable any time

A 650 mL bottle purchased at Liquid Solutions.
A: The winter warmer looks more like an IPA with a bright copper color. Auburn highlights come through, adding to the brightness. A finger and a half of head was craggy before dissolving.
S: The aroma confirms my suspicions, lots of hops are packed into this bottle. Orange peel and a spice profile are a nice counterpoint to the hops.
T: The taste is the first sign of a winter warmer. The spice profile knocks the ale out of the park. Nutmeg and cinnamon are strong, not quite pumpkin strong, but strong nonetheless. Orange peel and brown sugar follow. On further re-assessment, the hops aren't nearly as strong as the nose lets on.
M: The mouthfeel is a little bizarre, a spice bomb that could really use some hops to balance 'em out.
D: This one started out promising before dovetailing in the opposite direction. More hops, please.

I had this in a taster tonight here in Seattle on 1st street at the pike pub. The first thing both myself and friend notices as all of the beer were set down was the apricot smell.
By the end I had convienced myself that it didn't taste that great. I puckered up on the first taste and then tryed to like it but i couldn't bring myself around to it.
It poured with a dark copper color with a white pure head on it.
Sorry Pikes I like so much more then this from your brewery....

Thanks to markgugs for the chance to try this tasty brew.
Amber in color with hints of orange and ruby. Head rises quickly and falls just as fast. It leaves patchy spotted lacing.
Interesting aroma with hints of orange, cinnamon and other spices. None really dominate, they just kind of mingle together.
Caramel malt backbone in the flavor, with spices mixed in. I taste nutmeg and some cinnamon along with some other spices that I can't identify. The spices compliment the beer nicely with out going too overboard as some winter ales do. The hops really kick in during the finish and add new life to the beer. I think of this beer as more of a hoppy winter warmer, than a spiced IPA.
Mouthfeel was a little light for my taste at first but recovered nicely as the beer warmed.
Very drinkable. Wish I had another. This will be on my wants during the next holiday season.

pours a muted light golden amber hue with a thick and clean off-white head that fades leaving some nice blotchy lacing down the glass. glows a pink grapefruit when held to a light, with just a touch of murkiness.
aroma is different with some interesting spices yet not a ton of sweetness. Nutmeg and cinnamon dominate. A subtle bready malt comes through, along with a citrusy, almost candied hop aroma. A hint of citrus zest on the nose.
Taste is fairly unique. Typical winter warmer caramel malt backbone, leaning a bit more toward the biscut side of the flavor spectrum. The spices are there too, with cinnamon and vanilla coming through on the tongue. What's most intriguing is the blend of citrus and hops that subtly sneaks in toward the finish and really adds some depth. Tangerine and grapefruit linger, blending into orange and hops as it sits on the tongue. Hops and citrus zest stay, taking it further than a usual winter spiced malt bomb.
Mouthfeel is clean and crisp, just a touch syrupy, with some light creaminess. The smooth caramel flavors coat the tongue, while the lingering grapefruit and hop bitters tingle the sides of the tongue.
All in all, a pretty solid brew. A bit different from the usual winter warmers. Kind of fills the void between the spiced malt bombs and the slightly spiced strong IPAs that are so prevalent during this season (at least in the PNW). It's both a deliciously malty beer and a fairly hoppy almost-ipa, but ends up somewhere nicely inbetween. And the coriander and orange that I was a bit apprehensive of turned out to lend their flavors beautifully. It doesn't pack quite a flavor punch that i would have liked, but sometimes that may be a good thing. Definitely seek this one out.

Poured into a Cigar City snifter. Says 264B on the label but I have no idea what that means.
A- Pours a dark copper color with a 1/2 inch head that's reduced to a big-bubbled ring around the edge of the glass and thin foam on the surface. Pretty good lacing too.
S- Smells malty and a bit alcohol-y and astringent with some hop notes at the tail end. Has also a bit of a fruit smell with some cherries and maybe some raisins.
T- Odd. The taste comes in and brings a confusing sensation to the palate. I don't taste the orange peel, coriander, cinnamon or nutmeg that's listed on the label. Just an unusual fusion of hops and malts that's plain off-kilter and has an alcohol burn that, honestly, should just not be there for a beer that's only 5.5%. Some cereal grain sweetness keeps things interesting, though.
M- Decent enough. Medium-high carbonation.
O- This beer is OK to drink but definitely not one of my favorite holiday ales.

From a 650 ml brown bottle. Tall, loose frothy off-white head on the pour, while the body is a hazed yet bright deep copper hue.
The aroma is all floral, citrus, herbal, grassy hops, some clean grainy malt in the background, some earthy spice.
Malt is mild and fairly neutral in the flavour, the extra ingredients and spices that pop up in the middle just don't seem to gel together although the coriander manages to shine through the hubbub, while the hops pretty much carry the show from the middle on through the finish and well into the aftertaste. Grassy, herbal hops, a touch of earth and spice.
Medium-body yet low carbonation, it works for what it is.
Right then, as much as I hate emoticons and text message abbreviations and shit like that, my final verdict is Pike, WTF? What is this? Even outside those boundaries, there isn't much cohesion with what's going on here, this is a sub-par offering from a brewery that I know is capable of so much more.

- Just Getting BySouthboroughVIPDined on 8/31/2014This was my second time here. It was a rather quite night so neither the kitchen nor staff were getting slammed. We sat at a booth in the bar area. We ordered an appetizer, a salad and main dish. the App was quickly followed by my salad. Then my clams with garlic entree came. Someone must really like garlic because the dish was overpowered with it. Not subtle just too much. The staff just felt like they were going through the paces.
- Great FindtomanddiDined on 8/24/2014We loved the relaxed and welcoming feel of the place so much that we returned to celebrate our anniversary after discovering it a few weeks ago. The food is fresh, delicious and beautifully prepared. The service is impeccable and the beer and wine list is exceptional. My dinner of salmon encrusted with pistachio crust, red himalayan rice, and grilled asparagus was perfect. My spouse enjoyed his pasta bolognese thoroughly. Our guest loved her kale salad with grilled chicken and said she would be returning to share this wonderful place for a casual meeting with friends who would enjoy the outdoor dining that reminded her of cafes in Italy. It is a perfect place to have a conversation and enjoy great food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dining on PatioSusanoVIPDined on 8/23/2014On nice nights, dining on the patio is a great option. We were there on a Saturday night and the patio was probably busier than inside. The special Harvest Salad was very good. Portions of the parmesan meals (e.g. eggplant, chicken) are huge, but they offer a half/small which I highly recommend unless you want to bring home leftovers, or are very hungry!Special Features:
- Early dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/22/2014Excellent dinner we had made reservations but didn't really need them as it was fairly early. We were seated right away and our waitress came over to the table immediately. The food was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine Chow TonightOpenTable Diner Since 2000VIPDined on 8/21/2014Very nince meal tonight. Crab Cakes, Veal Saltimboca, Pizzas recommended. Service was excellent... Nick is a true professional.
- disappointedNancyVIPDined on 8/20/2014tavolinos always had good food, great service and ambiance. the other night, tied and hungry after a long work day, we ordered as soon as we could after sitting down and were served 1 hour after we sat down! Food was ok and we will certainly give it a try again as maybe the kitchen was just swamped this one time.Special Features:
- Great first time at Tavolino!JessDined on 8/19/2014Came here on a Tuesday night for party of 6 to celebrate a birthday. Very friendly host staff that gave us the option to sit outside. Lovely patio. All of our party ate of the "4 course for $24.95" menu (calamari, bruschetta, chicken parm, chicken piccata, and much more)and all really enjoyed our meals. Have only great things to say. I was especially impressed by the birthday flower and dessert they brought over for my grandmother the birthday girl. Great staff, food and ambiance. I will definitely return.Special Features:
- Quiet inside, busy out.WHUFCDined on 8/16/2014Been here several times and to be honest, wasnt anything special this time, not enamered with any wow factor, just ok. Seated straight away, served a little slow to start, pleasant. Food was ok.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice find....CricketDined on 8/15/2014I was looking for a new restaurant in the area. I checked out the website, looked at the pictures, looked at the menu and wine list and thought this would be a nice place to try. It was!Special Features:
- Local gem and allergy-friendlyEggsAndToastDined on 8/9/2014We were looking for a restaurant that could accommodate our picky 3-yo and our celiac 6-yo AND have a feel of a fancy night out for we adults. TAVOLINO fit the bill! I was over the moon to find they had a gluten–free menu for kids...GF-pizzas and pasta! The menu was great for Foodies with plenty of authentic Italian dishes and specialty pizzas. My only disappointment was our waiter. Each adult (4 total) ordered a pizza which could have fed a party of 8-12 people! He should have given us advice since we were first time diners..e.g. "Our pizzas are fairly large, I would recommend two pizzas for your table". He was also a little over-attentive and a bit patronizing- referring often to our 65-yo granny as "The Young Lady" was a bit much.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Generally good but can be variableanonDined on 8/3/2014Food this time was too salty, and the menu's only seafood pasta dish was not available by 7:30pm. Service was good at some points in the evening not at others. They did not light the insect flares until after 8pm by which time one of our party had been badly bitten by mosquitos. Disappointingly off previous high standard but we will be backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pricey but goodKatedtDined on 8/1/2014Tavolino is a typical fancy Italian restaurant. The service was great, and very patient with wine selection and allergies. There was a young couple next to us enjoying a first date and a few larger groups of adults. The dress ranged from button-downs to T-shirts and the food selections were equally diverse. Still, our bill was over $60 a person- for food that was good, but not amazing. Next time, I will stick with a small app just for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great local restaurant........jerriDined on 7/26/2014thanks...great food and service yet again. thank you. outside patio is very niceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tavalino - a good findExcellenceDined on 7/26/2014excellent service and food portions, chicken parm and caesar salad were prepared nicely and split romantically with my date. A little less dressing on the salad would have been best.Special Features:
- Heat nightOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/20/2014The weather was perfection for outdoor dining on this particular evening. The service was excellent and our waiter Alexander treated us like we were at a four star Restraunt ! Everyone was happy.Special Features:
- Outside SeatingOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/18/2014I requested outside seating which I understand is no GTE however I arrived for my reservation on time , there was a seat available on the patio but I was told that it was based on when my reservation was made..? didn't make sense I was there , table open but I could not get, so that I was disappointed... only one cabernet to choose from on the wines by the glass.Special Features:
- Another Winning MealOpenTable Diner Since 2000VIPDined on 7/16/2014This place is growing on me more and more. The food has been very good for quite a stretch now... and service (Ulyses) was excellent. Great spot for families.
- Great Location, Exorbitant PricesDavidDDined on 7/12/2014We had a four top, with an OpenTable reservation on a Saturday night. Upon confirming to the hostess, in a restaurant that was full outside on the patio, and half filled inside, we were seated in perhaps the worst table in the restaurant (Just outside the kitchen doors, in a high activity area). We were reseated. Food was ok, no one echoed anything spectacular about their dishes. I had the Chicken Picatta, asparagus spears were tiny and overcooked, and the slop of potatoes were clearly scooped from a pre-made vat. Pricing for this area was above what I would have paid in the North End of Boston, we chose this over the popular Italian restaurant across the street due to the patio, but were never offered patio seating.
- YumKarak143Dined on 7/11/2014Tavolinos offers delicious food! The Veal Picatta is to die for... Super delish!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lunch at TavolinoOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 7/11/2014Great menu! Had been to this restaurant twice before and found the menu a little boring - at least the lunch menu is delightful. Definitely not the place for the one-hour lunch - take your time and enjoy!Special Features:
- Consistent ChowOpenTable Diner Since 2000VIPDined on 7/8/2014Veal Saltimbocca is my current favorite here. Perfectly prepared, like the pasta and asparagus served with it as well. Family enjoyed the crab cakes and pulled pork pizza. The food has been consistently good as of late. Our waiter, Alex... excellent, very professional service.
- Great food and serviceSusanoVIPDined on 7/2/2014Food is great. I ordered two appetizers - either of which could have been a meal for me. The special eggplant caprese was very good. The beet salad is like a meal. Eggplant parm comes as small and large portion. The small portion is a good sized meal (for a woman). The large portion makes for great take home. The servers and staff are very pleasant, personable and attentive. Great neighborhood restaurant.Special Features:
- Very Solid MealOpenTable Diner Since 2000VIPDined on 7/2/2014Really enjoyed our meal tonight. We particularly liked the Veal Saltimbocca, Beet & Goat Cheese Salad and Pizzas. Centine from Tuscany... an enjoyable well made dry Italian wine... moderately priced. Great place for the area.
- Really nice timedharr0108Dined on 6/29/2014We had a group celebrating a birthday and everyone enjoyed it. We sat outside, which was lovely, despite no view. The servers Sophie and Chris were excellent. They were attentive and made excellent recommendations, but were not intrusive. The food was delicious and each person enjoyed their meal. Have been there before and will go back - always consistent.Special Features:
- delicious food and great serviceDollyDined on 6/28/2014we celebrated our wedding anniversary at Tavolino. We were seated immediately and were served promptly and efficiently. Steak was cooked perfectly and the chicken piccata was delicious. We mentioned on our reservation that it was our wedding anniversary - we were very surprised by the lovely touches - a glass of champagne to start, then a selection of 3 dessert glasses. Then I was presented with a flower and my husband, a beer glass. Lovely was to spend our anniversary!Special Features:
- Almost greatSeindeanyDined on 6/19/2014The apps were good, the drinks were good but the fish entree came out raw after we asked for it to be cooked well done. These things happen and the kitchen was able to remedy it but it was still disappointing having to have one of our party wait an extra 15 minutes for her food.Special Features:
- birthday dinnerBirthdayDined on 6/8/2014We went there for the first time for my boyfriends birthday. We ordered the halibut, which was OK but pretty dry and needed some type of sauce. The gluten free pizza was pretty good, with bacon and sweet potato. When desserts came, we chose a few and they were very good. However, I called ahead to request they write happy birthday or put a candle or something on his dessert. I was very disappointed when the dessert came and there was nothing special on it for him. I should have just asked when we arrived, but I wanted to make it a surprise.Special Features:
- Excellent ServiceNancyDined on 6/7/2014This was a return visit. We first went here with a large group of couples and then recently with the kids. Excellent service both times. Will request an outdoor table next visit.Special Features:
- wineandinewineandineDined on 6/6/2014First time at Travolino's for 4 of us in our party of 6. We all had very good-excellent dinners. So glad we found a new spot!
- Great Off Peak OptionOpenTable Diner Since 2000VIPDined on 6/4/2014I like coming here when it's not jammin... usually for dinner on the early side during the week. The weekends are packed, a lot of families... so it's often very loud. The food is good to very good. Wine prices are fair.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/2/2014Service and food were outstanding! It's a favorite spot in my hometome of Westborough!Special Features:
- Solid food, friendly serviceJenniferDined on 5/31/2014Tried this place for the first time; it's great to have dining options like this in Westborough. Fried calamari appetizer was terrific, and substantial. Wine list is nice, and it's a lovely touch that you can order basically a very small carafe -- about 1.5 glasses; perfect. Artichoke heart appetizer was prepared and presented beautifully. Entrees were OK (chicken picatta and a lamb/squash stew) -- just not as good as the apps. Service was genuinely friendly and attentive.Special Features:
- Totally let down by thisMumsedsoDined on 5/31/2014We were seated at decent table,far from other diners & their conversation,but it went downhill from there.As waiter was filling our water,I ended up w/ an abundance of ice water down my back which left me soaked for the rest of the night.A nearby diner came over to help & said"well, that's worth dinner on the house"& I agree & told our server so.Instead,the mgr came over to apologize & offered some extra napkins & free side salads.The dinner meals were tasteless.I had the halibut special.Friend had the cod on the menu.Not even seasoned with salt&pepper.When it came time for dessert,we told server we would order ONLY IF it was free which he agreed to do.Still,with 2free salads & desserts,bill was still $70 for just an OK meal.DisappointingSpecial Features:
- Four course mealBarryDined on 5/26/2014My wife, myself, and my two adult sons chose the four course meal option with the wine pairings. Every course had multiple menu choices and they all were very good. Although the menu says the portions are small, we found them to be perfect, perhaps larger than we expected. The only negative was the time between courses was long. Luckily we were eating outside and it was a gorgeous evening. Our hostess and server Sophie were delightful.Special Features:
- early eveningJud43Dined on 5/21/2014a perfect place for a gathering with friends to share a meal and conversationSpecial Features:
- AmazingBentleygradDined on 5/17/2014We went here for dinner after my college graduation with 7 people. The service was amazing and they went above and beyond. At the end of the meal the waitress came over and gave me the desert menu and told me to choose anything. While we were waiting for that to come, the manager came over with a raspberry Cabernet gelato on a plate that had "congratulations" written in chocolate. He also gave me a beautiful flower. Food was excellent and so was the drink selection. Will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MenuVegeterianDined on 5/16/2014Have more vegetarian food options or be flexible in making them.
- Not friendly servicefoodieDined on 5/16/2014Our hostess was nice. She changed our table on our request as we were too cold at the first table. However, our server didn't seem to care about us. He was providing good service to people on other tables who were regulars. But, for us first timers, he didn't even sport a smile. He would bring a dish & disappear for several minutes not caring if the customer would need anything else. For instance, with mussels, he forgot to provide us with a vessel to discard shells. Besides mussels for appetizers, we had a salad & pizza. We requested black olives as one of the toppings but they brought it with green olives. The lady who brought the food said that it wasn't mentioned on the ticket. We asked our server & he lied that kitchen doesn't have it
- JeffDined on 5/16/2014Parking, at least on a rainy Friday night was problematic. Wear hiking shoes or bring a skate board. Seating was prompt and friendly. Bread with dipping sauce worth the trip alone. Food and service were great. Preparation seemed to take longer than we anticipated. Hearing protection is also recommended. Venue would NOT be mistaken for a quiet romantic site.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mothers Day brunchroscoeDined on 5/11/2014The food was good but had to ask more than once for items on the breakfast table to be refilled. There could have been a larger selection for the price we were paying.Special Features:

I watched several 100th anniversary Titanic specials, but some highlights:
I just saw an amazing new special on the Titanic that said that Titanic no way would have sunk were it not for the refractive effects of the atmosphere that night. The iceberg they hit was camoflouged by a mirage for 30 minutes and did not clear up until the last few seconds, and by then it was to late.:
on coast to coast, a famous ocean archaeologist, Charles Pellegrino:
described the rusticles and details of the remains .
A tremendous series of specials did justice to this fascinating topic.

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syria's main opposition group is demanding a swift international response following the U.N. report confirming the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
The Western-backed Syrian National Coalition says the U.N. report offers "damning and irrefutable evidence" and clearly shows that only the Syrian government forces could have carried out the attack last month.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the Security Council when he presented the report that the attack was a "war crime."
Meanwhile, the Assad government is slamming the U.S., British and French foreign ministers, accusing them of trying to impose their agenda on the Syrian people. The Foreign Ministry's criticism appeared to be in response to the allies' demands that Syrian President Bashar Assad step down even as the West increases efforts to bring the warring sides to an international peace conference.

For a few years now, the consensus around the NFL has been that Cowboys NT Jay Ratliff has fallen into the underrated category: a high-energy penetrator who plays beyond his average nose-tackle body and makes those around him better. But in league circles, that isn't necessarily the universal take on him. Ratliff, who received a five-year extension worth $40 million ($18 million guaranteed, including a $10 million signing bonus) this week, got a mere passing review from one pro personnel director who is familiar with his work. "The past few seasons, (Ratliff) hasn't been the same," the director said. "In (2007 and '08), you could see it: He was splitting gaps, slanting well, getting low, wrecking blocking (schemes). They used him well. Wade (Phillips) should have moved him off the nose; they thought he was best there. But he gets swallowed up a lot. He gets pushed around more inside. The size (6-4, 285) is prohibitive now as the quickness has gone a bit. I'd play him at the five (technique) more."

Buddy Check 12: Care for Uninsured WomenBy: Christy Hendricks
VIENNA, Ill. - At least 45 million Americans do not have health insurance, something many in the Heartland deal with every day.
That's why a state program in Illinois works to make sure women without insurance find the breast and cervical care they need.
The Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program provides mammograms and pap smears to women without health insurance.
For many it can mean the difference between life and death.
"It's a huge piece of mind to have this program to fall back on," said Vickie Craig.
Vickie first enrolled in the statewide program three years ago.
Since she doesn't have health insurance, Vicki was able to receive mammograms and had two lumps removed on the program.
"If it wasn't for this program, I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to have it removed with no insurance," she said.
Luckily, the lumps were benign. But it's exactly why Program Coordinator Marla Groaning says the program is so important.
"Early detection is the key. If we can find a breast cancer while it's still in the stage one. Over 90% of those women have a long term survival," Marla said.
Marla heads the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program in the seven most southern counties.
She saw a 10 percent increase in the number of women seeking services when the state dropped income guidelines a year ago.
About 400 women use the program each year in the southern seven, but that's less than 25 percent of the total 1700 women estimated that are eligible to receive the services.
What's more, all the services are completely free and that adds up when it comes to diagnostic mammograms, ultrasounds, and surgical biopsies.
"Like me with no insurance, it's just heaven sent because I know and I'm sure there's other women out there that would not have a mammogram or a pap smear or anything. If you don't have any insurance, you don't go to the doctor unless you're sick or unless something's wrong," said Vickie.

This Saturday April 13, the UFC presents The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale live on FX. In the main event, former WEC champion Urijah Faber takes on Scott Jorgensen. Before that fight, FX presents 4 additional main card fights, including the finals of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen, and a fight to determine one of the coaches for next season. In this Bloody Elbow fight card primer, we take a look at the main card action, breaking down everything you need to know about these fights. Be sure to take a look at our prelim primers, and check back later for Faber vs. Jorgensen.
The Ultimate Fighter 17 Live Finale airs live from Las Vegas this Saturday, April 13, on FX with the main card starting at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
Uriah Hall (7-2 MMA; UFC Debut) vs. Kelvin Gastelum (5-0 MMA; UFC Debut) - Middleweight TUF Finals
This is the finals of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen, and it's an all Sonnen final. For those who have not watched this season, you've missed something special in Uriah Hall. The explosive and vicious striker has absolutely torn through the competition with three brutal KO wins - a spinning hook kick, a 17 second KO, and a TKO from his back against his opponent in top position. He's a scary fighter who won most of his fights on the show from sheer intimidation. He has good experience, and while he may not be the immediate title contender Chael Sonnen claimed on the show, he definitely is the most exciting TUF prospect in ages. Gastelum is the Rocky style underdog here. Picked last by Sonnen, the 21 year old showed great heart and improvement during the show, upsetting both Bubba and Josh Samman to get here. Gastelum is a decent wrestler on the mat and a brawling puncher with KO power on the feet.
More Bloody Elbow coverage of UFC The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale
Miesha Tate (13-3 MMA; UFC Debut) vs. Cat Zingano (7-0 MMA; UFC Debut) - Women's Bantamweight
When this fight was announced, it seemed like it was here for one clear purpose - to set up Rousey vs. Tate 2. Miesha Tate is the former Strikeforce champion who Ronda Rousey defeated for what is now the UFC Women's Bantamweight Title. More importantly, she was the first fighter to even give Rousey a fight, and is a brash talker. Dana White essentially confirmed the plan to build her up to another title shot when he announced that the winner here would not only get the next shot at Rousey, she would also get to coach against Rousey on the next season of TUF. Looking to spoil those Team Rousey vs. Team Tate plans is the undefeated Cat Zingano, a 5 year pro with solid wins over the likes of Carina Damm and Takayo Hashi. She last fought in Invicta in October, defeating Raquel Pennington via submission. Tate is coming off a win over Julie Kedzie in a great fight. Expect a potentially show stealing ground battle between these two ladies.
Gabriel Gonzaga (14-6 MMA; 9-5 UFC) vs. Travis Browne (13-1-1 MMA; 4-1-1 UFC) - Heavyweight
Outside of the main event, this is the only fight on the card to feature anyone with prior UFC experience. These two Heavyweights have both shown real potential at times in their careers, but are both in need of a win tonight. Browne made his UFC debut in 2010, and was immediately hailed by Dana White as a future contender. He had a good win over Stefan Struve in 2011, but since then has been in either unmemorable fights, or on the losing end, such as his last fight with Antonio Silva. That was the first loss of his pro career, and he's looking to bounce back. Gabriel Gonzaga challenged Randy Couture for the UFC Heavyweight title way back at UFC 74. He faltered after that loss, and was released by the UFC in 2010. After a win outside the promotion, he was brought back, and is currently riding a 3 fight win streak and coming off a submission win over Ben Rothwell in January - Gonzaga's biggest win in ages. The days of the Cro Cop KO kick are long past, but Gonzaga is still a viable Heavyweight.
Bubba McDaniel (20-6 MMA; UFC Debut) vs. Gilbert Smith (5-1 MMA; UFC Debut) - Middleweight
Opening the show are two of this season's Ultimate Fighter contestants. Bubba (or, if you prefer, "Robert McDaniel"), made a big mark on the show. A training partner of Jon Jones, he came in with a lot of praise and a big ego. But he seemed to completely psyche himself out, mentally defeating himself throughout the show. He was upset in the first round by Gastelum, came back through the wild card fight, then was obliterated by Hall in the quarterfinals. He seems like a solid fighter if he can get his head on straight. Smith is a small Middleweight at only 5'9". He was eliminated early by a Luke Barnatt flying knee KO. Smith didn't show much in that fight. He's a 2 year pro with 6 fights, none against notable opponents. These guys are almost definitely fighting for their jobs.

Anne and Maurice celebrate Diamond year at Cannington
8:00pm Wednesday 5th September 2012 in Bridgwater Area News
A COUPLE from North Petherton have celebrated their Diamond Wedding Anniversary with a party attended by 40 family and friends.
Anne Loveridge, 86, and Maurice Loveridge, 89, both grew up in Bridgwater and heard moving speeches from family at a meal at Blackmore Farm, Cannington.
Daughter Lynne Marlborough said: "They were really pleased everyone could come. They had a big cake, and my dad gave a speech and presented my mum with flowers.
"They met at a skittles match at what was once the New Inn in Cannington. My dad was from Cannington and my mum was from North Petherton.
"I'm their only child but they have two grandchildren – one was there for the party."
Lynne said the couple attributed their long marriage to 'give and take'.

ETC, the Middleton, WI-based lighting manufacturer, has purchased the Germany-based transtechnik Lichtsysteme division from parent company transtechnik GmbH as of May 31. Terms of the purchase were not disclosed.
Transtechnik Lichtsysteme will continue to offer its products and turnkey/project management services to clients like theatres, opera houses, and TV/broadcast studios. ETC will support transtechnik Lichtsysteme to continue to service its customers and to further build on its product offering. Operations will continue to be based in Holzkirchen (30km south of Munich). The headquarters for ETC's European sales will remain in London and provide continued service to ETC customers throughout the region.
ETC says it sees a strong synergy in the new union with transtechnik Lichtsysteme, which is known for its lighting control systems and studio automation in the central European market. According to ETC CEO Fred Foster, "We have long had great respect for transtechnik's reputation and technology in our industry. The two companies share the same dedication to serving our customers. We will be able to increase our range of products and services to the German as well as the global markets."

Gas prices in the Greenville area have fallen 9.5 cents in the past week, according to GasBuddy.com.
The gas price-reporting website said prices averaged $2.93 on Sunday, which is about 30 cents lower than the average national price.
"The drop in gas prices certainly has been well noted - in some instances people have been calling this a gas price crash. Dub it whatever you like, but I'll remind motorists: gasoline prices in some areas still could set all-time record highs for Christmas Day," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan.
DeHaan said while prices have dropped, he does not consider it a gas price crash.
"Call me a Grinch, call me a realist, but at the end of the day, data doesn't lie - and that data shows that gasoline prices are still clinging near all time highs for today's date," DeHaan said.

There will be changes, including updates to the clinic and boarding facilities, which were built in the 1970s, but some things will remain the same. According to the agreement, Springer will remain at the clinic as a veterinarian and continue to see patients for at least five years.
The clinic's third veterinarian, Martin Roberts, is a Jasper native who said he was excited to be returning home. Kimbrell said he hopes the addition of another vet will decrease wait times for patients.
Although Roberts is the "new" vet in the practice, he has been working around the clinic for Springer since he was a teenager, much like Kimbrell.
One immediate contribution of the new vet has been taking the clinic into the digital arena, setting up an email address and Twitter account to give clients more access to the clinic. He is also working on an interactive website and Facebook page. Eventually the clinic hopes to be able to refill prescriptions and provide other services via the website to better serve its clients.
Kimbrell has also added new office manager Marsha Miller, one of the founding members of Rescuers United for Furbabies, the local rescue that is working to help Walker County's stray population.
Miller said the vet's office was already a huge part of the rescue.
"I was here all the time anyway," she laughed.
Kimbrell hopes to be able to help that endeavor even more in the future with programs that would encourage residents to spay or neuter their pets.
He would also like to increase the accessibility of the clinic for clients and will be expanding and altering the clinic's hours to try to accomplish that. He also plans to work out some arrangement that would allow the clinic to provide emergency care for local animals in the future.
Currently, anyone with a veterinary emergency would have to drive their pet to Birmingham or another area to seek that care out.
The Animal Clinic of Walker County is located on Arrow Road in Jasper. They can be reached by phone at (205) 221-4500 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also follow them on Twitter at www.twitter.com/animalhofwc.

Came here for "All you can eat mussels" with my wife on a tuesday night, and it was perfect. Unbeatable price ($14), good food (choice of 3 sauces for the mussels, good mussels, great french fries), beer selection was surprisingly good, relax atmosphere with good music. Service was great - you were attended pretty fast by your server or a busboy - but the waitress could have been better (smile? impersonal). Anyway, it didn't change the fact that we both really enjoyed it. Try it!
Posted by Naimah Hines on 01/17/2011
Chez Oskar was and is the most amazing experience not even including the outstanding food and great customer service! Its the complete package and truly the best 1st choice to dine in any occasion. Walking in they have mastered a warmth and an at home feeling The wait staff are really nice and attentive. I ordered the New York Grilled Salmon (medium-well), Garlic Mash potatoes and Brussel Sprouts. The salmon was grilled and seasoned to perfection and mash Potatoes so moist. Ive never even eaten Brussel Sprouts and they were so tasty, I loved it!

The cook did a phenominal job on the domestic lamb shank! The meat was tender and it fell right of the bones! The squash and the spinach were made to perfection. Kudos the the cook and the Resturant. Will definately go back!

Had the eggs benedict! My favorite brunch dish. It was made perfectly. I also had a mojito (not a good mix) but the drink was delicious. Just should not have eaten eggs with it. Will go back again.
Posted by anonymous on 05/05/2010
We had one of the worst brunches ever here! I had eggs Benedict,the sauce was almost slimy,the eggs hard and overcooked and the muffin totally burnt. The waitress made it very clear she couldn't care less and told me I should never expect good poached eggs from a busy kitchen! Wow! What incentive is there for us to go back? We live real close to Dekalb and the great news is that there are SO many really good restaurants with nice staff who care that we just never have to go to this place again.
Posted by Brooklynite on 03/09/2010
Wow! I was a little skeptical after reading so many mixed reviews but we just had a delicious meal. Cute space. Lamb shank and cassoulet were the highlights. Not the best french food I've ever had in New York but certainly very, very good and worth the trip. The service was also very accommodating. Our waitress was really helpful and when she made a slight mistake, went above and beyond to the rectify the situation. Yuuuum!
Posted by Kelly on 03/17/2009
We love Chez Oskar- worth the trip just for the steak tartar. Its a good value, especially if you try and have some appetizers as entrees (they can be quite large). Also all-you-can-eat mussels night is a favorite. Try and sit outside in the summers and bring your dog.

This motorized replica of the headstrong little "droid" from the iconic Star Wars films responds to voice commands, navigates rooms and hallways, and makes any home feel like it has been transported to a galaxy far, far away. R2 obeys more than 40 voice commands ("Turn around!," "Move forward two units!") and he plays games like tag, using an infrared sensor to search for people in a room. His sensor helps him follow behind you, or it can be set to detect motion, turning R2 into a room sentry that sounds an alarm when a secured area is invaded. R2's lights, swiveling dome top, and distinctive happy and sad sounds faithfully mimic the real thing, right down to his occasional "bad mood." (A simple command of, "R2, behave yourself!" snaps him out of it.) R2 can also replay sounds and dialog from Star Wars movies, answer yes-or-no questions, and dance while playing the famed cantina music. Requires four AA batteries and four D batteries. Minor assembly required. Ages 8 and up. 15" H x 7 1/2" W x 10 1/2" L. (6 lbs.)

A Good Guard Sentry.
By Jody
from Greensboro, N.C.
Use to Room Guard for Intruders while you are there or away. I would like to put a cameraon him. I need Electronic Diagram. He needs bumpersensors on him or proximity sensors so he will notbump into objects. I know this is a toy but ithas the ability to be so much more. I would pay twice as much for a new design like this. I lovethis little robot anyway.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have a new Playmate!
By Feel like a kid again
from Rockaway, NJ
Well packed item. (It must have taken me 15 minutes to get him out of his little carton.). He comes pretty much fully assembled. There is a very thin, hard to see band around the torso of R2 that keeps the cargo doors closed for shipping purposes. Be sure to remove this or you will have difficulty removing the screw anchored battery door.My R2 operates like a dream. (I was concerned after reading some of the negative reviews.). His "maiden" voyage lasted about 30 minutes, during which he operated flawlessly. (I am so looking forward to "introducing" him to my new puppy.)Luckily the store near me was having an outstanding sale on batteries, so boy did I stock up. I must also confess that I am "fifty-something" and, having wanted an R2 for, like, FOREVER, bought him for myself. My inner-child is ecstatic!!!!!

The kid loves it
By AndieFandie
from Colorado Springs, CO
This droid is exciting to any Star Wars fan. It does everything as advertised. Kept the 10-11 year old entertained and says the best part is the "Do you remember" commands.

Too headstrong
By Paul
from Kingston, Ontario
I regret to say this product was not what I expected. It appeared to get confused too easily and seemed to be always in a bad mood. I thought it would be a little bigger and would come to you on voice command. Unfortunately it is not what I expected and I do not want it. It might be more useful for teens or Jedi followers, but it is not for me.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Bought for 11 year old Star Wars fan and he loves it! Turns out his 7 year old sister loves it too and can't stop telling people about the amazing things R2-D2 dose. The entire family, mom, dad, and grandparents are amazed by it and all having fun with it.
Okay buy
By MIke the Photographer
from Hamilton, Ontario
The product quality is pretty good. It does as advertised. The major con of it is that when it is moving or if there is other noise, then Artoo won't hear the commands or mishears them and does something else.
