Timberline Saddle Company
Timberline Sidekick
Trail Saddles
For Sale on eBay
Manufacturer: Timberline Saddle Company
Model: Timberline Sidekick
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I bought a Timberline Sidekick LE for my husband this past January. I bought it from Saddleoutfitters.com and paid $1995.00.
Likes: I bought a Timberline Sidekick LE for my husband this past January. He was having troubles with hip pain from too wide of twist on his previous trail saddle. His hip pain went away almost immediately after riding in this saddle because the twist is narrow enough not to strain the hip joint. I have since been riding in this saddle myself and love the security I feel from it. It has a deep seat and a fairly high cantle to really keep me in the saddle even when my horse gets squirrely on the trail. The tree is wide enough that it fits our wide bodied Spotted Saddle Horse with the short/round back.
Dislikes: I can't find anything I don't like about the saddle. Every horse we have put it on loves it too.
Quality: The leather is very nice quality, a lot like the original Ortho-flex saddle company used to use. The tooling and stitching are very good. I would say they have excellent workmanship and very good quality control standards.
Summary: I am planning to buy a Timberline Sidekick for myself now. I would recommend this saddle to anyone who has been experiencing hip pain or difficulty fitting certain types of horses backs.

If I were Jones I'd be a little pissed. This is a step back. He should be fighting someone closer to the top. Yeah, The Janitor doesn't suck, and can kick my ass in a minute flat, but Jon Jones is The Man! Hopefully, he'll sweep up the janitor and prove it so we can see him keep climbing that ladder!
UFC On Versus 2: Jon Jones vs Vladimir "The Janitor" Matyushenko
According to The Garv, Jon Jones returns to action against "The Janitor" Vladimir Matyushenko at UFC on Versus 2 on August 1st in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Jones will return to action following his destruction of Brandon Vera at UFC on Versus 1.
Matyushenko is no slouch. His 24-4 record speaks for itself, only losing to some tough fighters like Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Tito Ortiz and Andrei Arlovski.

Agreed, this is a wasted match up. Vera was ranked way above Matyushenko. Jones should at least have somebody from the top 10. Thiago Silva makes more sense. I don't think he's fighting anybody.
If you dont like the janitor then give jones silva or evans or maybe Machida..
WTH. Who the fuck is this guy to fight Jon Jones right now? GUUUH
well they justify it with record but i have a feeling hes gonna just notch another, he needs a step up in competition, not big, but a step up. couture brings it against anyone, i would be curious to see how he reacts against a huge name

Albanian Burek resipe???
- MVNYC Jul 27, 2006 05:28 PM
Looking for a good recipe for Albanian style Burek. I am not sure if i will make the dough or use phyllo as a substitue but i am looking for both dough and filling recipes.
These might help:
..(1) http://www.frosina.org/culturehistory...
..(2) http://www.okey.ro/recipes/index.php/...
..(3) http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook...
Have fun cooking.
re: Cheese Boy
Those are for Byrek Shqipëtar me Perime which is a vegitable pie. I think he's talking about a pastry. Or at least in Kosovo they commonly sold a meat & cheese pastry called burek which was extremely popular with both the local Albanians and the foreigners in KFOR.
re: MVNYC
This is a southern specialty in Albania. In the North, they refer to their pies as Burek or 'Byrek', and in the South, the meat filled pies are called 'Lakror', aka (St. Basil's Meat Pie).
Recipe: http://www.stefoodie.net/2006/01/03/l...
Hope this will do. Whattya think?
re: MVNYC
If you love this type of food get:
"Please, to the Table' by Anya Von Bremzen.
"400 glorious recipes. From the Baltics to Uzbekestan."
This is a great (indispensible) Russian/Eastern European cookbook that won a james beard cookbook award and was published in the last couple of years - you could get it in used paperback if you're thrifty at amazon.com.
I notice she does use phyllo for bourek, but her 2 recipes feature (1) spinach and (2) egg and cheese. But when you go to look on websites, etc. try both spellings: burek and bourek.
Thats it. Thanks, the link provided is always where my grandparents are from, Korce. I had never called it Lafror before. I will try making this. My grandmother only made the cheese and spinach versions and i had only had the meat ones out. i will post my results
Can I ask, is burek always Albanian? I've only had it once, at a pizza place in Chicago, and it was fabulous, so was the pizza by the way. (Noli's in a strip mall on Kedzie between Lawrence and Foster, if any Chicago hounds are reading this.) I've been wondering about burek ever since! (I was with a friend who ordered it, so I didn't even know how to spell it or I guess I could have done some internet research. Although to me it is always better to hear about it from someone whose grandmother made it, than to search on the internet. Probably a reflection of my age...) I look forward to your report on the recipe, if it works for you, maybe I will try it.
Burek can be Turkish, Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian. It is basically found all over the Balkans thanks to the Ottoman empire. Burek differs from place to place. Spanikopita is actually pretty much the same thing. My grandparents were both from Korce, but since my grandmother was ethnic Greek, we always called the spinach burek spanikopita. My grandfather's family was ethnic Albanian and called it Burek. I was looking for the recipe for the meat one cause i have only had it out of the house. Albanian Burek does tend to have thicker dough from my experience, but i am probably just going to make the filling and use phyllo dough. I am just waiting until it gets cooler, it is too hot to turn on the oven.
Also if you had it at a pizza place, it really could be any ethnicity as pizzerias are not just owned by Italians any more
re: MVNYC
Thank you, that is very interesting. It never occurred to me about the similarity with spanikopita, because the burek I had was on a whole different scale (it took two of us to eat it). But of course it was very similar. We ate it with a bowl of homemade yogurt.
The place I had the burek was definitely not Italian; it called itself a pizza place because it is near a campus, and pizza is what students eat. Serbian or Croatian seems fairly likely. I'll check it out more thoroughly the next time I am there. The pizza is incredible; I'm not quite aure why-- not just because I get to eat it with green olives (which my family can't abide, while the person I eat with at the burek place will eat anything)-- and not just because they don't put too much cheese on it-- I think there is something different (maybe subtly Croatian or whatever) about the tomato sauce.
re: ucpolish
The Armenian is boereg, or something like that. My ex-wife learned to make it from her grandmother - the dough is extremely stretchy, like a noodle dough, and after it gets that way THEN you have to roll it super-thin. Great for building upper-body strength! Years after we split up (though we remain great friends) I told her very proudly that I'd finally managed to get the dough right, and she looked at me with great pity and said, "What for? I just use phyllo dough - it's great!"
re: Will Owen
I suppose I could have added that my favorite filling is chopped mozzarella (or Armenian string cheese, traditional and similar) and parsley...and that of the two preparation methods, baking and frying, I'm addicted to the latter.
I think Burek is almost a more rustic version of the pitas you would find in Greece. My grandmother made her own dough which was sort of in between the burek i have had both in the US and the Balkans and Phyllo dough. She was an excellent cook so im not surprised she did all of the work to hand roll dough so thin.
Also Croatian food is similar to Italian due to their proximity and the fact that Venice ruled the Dalmatian coast for many years. Croatian food is a real treat. I love it.
Lakror in my family was always made with homemade dough, nothing can top it. Burek was a small pastry made with phyllo dough, filled with cheese and rolled into a triangle.
My grandparents were also from Korce, all 4 of them!
Here's a recipe for the Lakror dough, although if you've never seen it made it can be a challenge.
Lakror dough
4 cups flour (we always use King Arthur)
1 cup warm water (approximate)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 pound butter, melted (when brushing, avoid the sediment at the bottom of the pan)
Mix flour, salt and water to form a dough. Knead until dough is smooth. Cover and set aside to rest (about 15 minutes.)
Divide dough in half and. Set one half aside, then section the other half into 10-12 balls (9 or 10 is good for a beginner.) Roll each dough into a 6-inch circle, brush with melted butter and stack circles, pressing edges to seal. Do not brush top circle.
Roll stack into a sheet to fit pan with some overlap, usually a 15 or 18-inch round pan, but also can be made in a half-sheet size pan. Butter pan before laying in dough.
Spread filling of your choice evenly.
Repeat process with second half of dough. Place dough over filling, press and roll slightly to seal edges and trim if too much excess dough.
Bake at 400 degrees F. for 40 minutes (time will vary depending on your oven.) Dough will puff up. Should be a deep golden brown on top and bottom. Let sit at least 15 minutes before cutting.
There are many filling, meat, onions, saurkraut, eggs and cheese...my favorite filling is Leeks, here is a basic recipe, feel free to improvise.
Leek Filling
2 large leeks
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound cottage cheese
3 ounces cream cheese
4-6 eggs beaten
salt to taste
Clean and chop leeks. Saute in butter until soft. Let cool to room temp then combine with remaining ingredients. The more eggs you add the thicker and puffier the filling will be.
re: Jpan99
Thank you for the dough recipe, it seems my families is no where to be found. When the weather cools i am going to give this a go.
That leek recipe is virtually identical to my grandmother's. Leeks are my fave too.
re: Jpan99
Do you have a photo I could see? It does sound quite difficult to make. I would imagine you have to roll it out so that it is extremely thin. like phyllo dough that you get at the grocery store. correct?
Ooooh, just found this thread. Such good information here! Thank you for the discussion. I'll link to the thread from my original post on lakror.
I have had good results using Turkish yufka dough which is widely available in Brooklyn. It is refrigerated, not frozen, and I haven't had the problem with it sticking together. It isn't puffy, but I make bürek more often because it is so easy.
re: oerdin
Oerdin, My husband Nick is from Kosovo. He has a recipe for Burek. Once he gives it to me I will post it. (if he lets me--family recipe). But I also know a restaurant in the Bronx that he always goes and buys The Burek meat pie. They also sell the cheese, spinach, and I think pumpkin. It's called Tony & Tina's Pizzeria at 2483 Arthur Ave Bronx NY 10458 my husband and all his Albanian friends, brothers, cousins get their Burek there and at another restaurant in the Bronx. There is another one called Dukagjini Burektorja. At 758 Lydig Ave. in the Bronx near Holland ave. Good luck! You may have already discovered them by now! KathleenZ

She began a Young Dems of America Chapter in Polk, and a lil history folks so you can get your head wrapped around the courage this lady has. Big Ben HIll Griiffin, who built the "Gator Swampbowl" for the UF. He owns cattle, potassium farms, you name it. Well he has a Grandaughter named, Katherine Harris, (who grew up in Bartow Polk County) you may recall the name for she was the Sec of State of Fl who called the race for Bush against AL Gore in 2000. COincidence, we think not....
Jessica and I left a Purple county, just ready to claim it's voting rights, although voter suppresion and collusion to committ fraud was seen on 2010. Very powerful people control outcomes, but in the midterm 2010 we almost won a congressional race due to our high volunteerism and indeed Polk County was the ONLY County called out the night before the elction fro the exceptional work the county did. It was the people, and Jessica started the way. I can't wait to do this interview! Hope you will join us for encouragment on mid-terms and take away suggestions that worked for us In Florida 2010!

Promise Pegasus Daemon Cannot StartAt work we wanted to build a cheap network attached storage with a fair amount of space and some expandability. We decided that the easiest route was a Mac Mini Server with the new Thunderbolt compatible Promise Pegasus R6 RAID array. The solution is effectively plug-and-play. You turn on the RAID, plug in the Thunderbolt cable, and a new hard drive shows up on your Mac. While not required, the Pegasus comes with the "Promise Utility" that allows you to monitor your RAID. I'm a sucker for little toys like this, so I installed it… and was very disappointed when it didn't work.
Every time I launched the Promise Utility, it told me that the daemon wasn't running and to press OK to restart it. No matter how many times I tried, it never started. I tried a good old fashioned reboot (of both pieces of hardware), but still no luck. I even went to Promise's site and tried downloading the software again (assuming that which I installed was out of date and not 10.7 compatible). No dice. The last thing I did was launch terminal and check /var/log/system.log, going back to my Linux roots. There it was:
Aug 25 17:49:03 server-1 com.promise.httpd[546]: httpd: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for server-1.hq.companyname.com
Aug 25 17:49:03 server-1 com.promise.httpd[546]: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
Aug 25 17:49:03 server-1 com.apple.launchd[1] (com.promise.httpd[546]): Exited with code: 1
After that, I clicked on Promise Utility again and away it ran. Since the Pegasus R6 comes preconfigured out of the box as a RAID 5, there wasn't really any configuration for me to change. At least now I can get into the utility, down the line, to check on the unit status and verify everything is operating properly.

We would like to install a 3/4 in; quartz countertop that will have an overhang of 12 in; (and more in some places). I understand we need 5/8 plywood on the cabinets to provide support. What type of additional support do we need for the overhang area?

GA Pet Food Partners' recently invested in construction of a new environmental management facility on 27 hectacres of land in the UK.
GA Pet Food Partners, a UK superpremium private label dry petfood manufacturer, recently invested millions in the construction of a new environmental management facility as part of its 10-year sustainability plan to produce petfood using more environmentally friendly and sustainable methods.
GA's facility sits on 27 hectacres of land that features water treatment works, three biofilters and the ability to clean and recycle all air and water on site. The company also has an on-site packaging recycling plant that separates paper, cardboard and plastics to reduce landfill waste.
"Our new environmental management facility means that all of the brands that have their pet food made at GA are doing so in a very sustainable and environmentally friendly way. I believe that the environmental management infrastructure that is now in place at GA makes us the leader in sustainable pet food manufacturing when compared to other pet food manufacturers in Europe," said
David Bennison, GA's sales director.
GA says it has also entered into a Habitat Creation and Management Plan that provides benefits in terms of additional planting, and the creation of wetland areas and species-rich grasslands to encourage nesting and foraging bird species.

It's so ridiculously easy to become lost in somebody else's dream; to go from the dreamer, to the dreamt and to go from a creator, to the created. It's way too easy to forget that we are our own authorities and that none of our thoughts, feelings or actions need to be co-signed by anyone else. It's so damn easy to forget, but so f*cking important to remember.
As we sat in the middle of our mats, eyes closed, James asked us to picture our 7 year old selves sitting in front of us. And as we breathed our ujjayi breath (ocean breathing) with mouths open, each of us looked into the quizzical face of our 7 year old selves as they looked back and asked, 'How are we doing? How are we doing as an adult?'
From the moment we wake up till we go to bed, we make hundreds of decisions. Life is a continuous stream of decision making. Despite it being a common activity, most of us struggle with decision-making.
There is a survival system in your brain that is designed to see the world through the lens of problems and limitations. It assumes that past behavior has led to survival, so it creates thoughts and sensations to get you to behave as you always have, and it rewards you for doing so.
So if you've read all about the benefits of mindfulness and thought you'd give it a go, maybe you got yourself an app and duly set to work.
For me, breaking old mind patterns has led me to cut my office days, giving me the time to witness the seasons as they pass, to cook from scratch, to practice my Spanish, begin writing, and meet my boyfriend with whom I'm now buying a home.
On a late sunny afternoon October 2nd 2014, I skipped out of my new Doctor's surgery feeling like a teenager. Having just received the news about my present state of health, I had every reason to radiate joyfulness and exhibit my delight and gratitude.
At some time or another we've all experienced our share of emotional hurt. And often when we're hurt, we dump our feelings on others or speak harshly. But this doesn't always work. Getting stuck with the hurt and moping around feeling sorry for ourselves also doesn't work. Suppressing hurt also doesn't work. Why?
Sleep is the most effective way of renewing, refreshing and healing our bodies and minds. It is an essential part of functioning as a human being and we spend almost one third of our lives in a sleep state. Sleep is without doubt, the best way to improve your health, reduce your stress and make you more effective and alert during the day.
One observation that I found really valuable was the idea that you shouldn't blame tech for your own stress. Instead, we need to find ways to manage how we use it in an always-on culture.
'I want, I want, I want!' We all have greed for one thing or another. Are you aware of your 'wants'? When you get what you want, do you find yourself wanting more? And when you get it all, are you satisfied? For how long?
My Google Chrome has a permanent conga line of dormant tabs open for potential reads, until some of them disappear past the arrow of no return and I eventually 'x' them out of existence. This barrage of information, lying next to me, puts the mind in overdrive.
Do you ever get lost in daydreams? Do you ever close your eyes and get so swept away by some delicious fantasy or other that it's as though you're really living it? Then something snaps you back to the here and now, and if you're a really good daydreamer, and you were very much 'gone', it's quite a shock to land back here in your present circumstances?
Try the power of slowing down by focusing on all your senses while eating, by focusing on the food, the environment you're in and on chewing. Once you've experienced what going slow can do for you, you'll want to try it all the time.
This idea of where I feel most at home is often on my mind when I return to Sydney. I always have this need to reconnect, not only with my family, but also with myself. It's a chance to reflect on where I came from and where I am now in my life.
If you have ever spent 48 consecutive hours doing nothing but nourishing your body and soul, you know the value of stepping away from routine and taking a deep breath without the distraction of responsibility. A getaway built around an ambitious itinerary may be a great escape when you are looking to shatter monotony, but it can also leave you longing for a vacation from your vacation once you return home.

World of Warplanes alpha tester? Well, you may have it, but you'll also need to have a strong stomach when it comes to installing third-party apps on your computer.
Wargaming.net has thrown open the application process for its upcoming World War II aviation MMO, and would-be testers will need to install both Overwolf and Xfire on their gaming rigs. A news blurb on the official World of Tanks website spills the beans, and Wargaming.net says that the aim of the test is to "discover how functional and comfortable these programs are for you."
In addition to the alpha tester position, the devs are also dangling some sort of "special award" carrot. We're not sure whether it's an in-game title, ability, or other perk, but we do know that simply signing up doesn't guarantee you access to the testing phase. There's also a questionnaire that needs filling out, and "those of you who [...] provide [the] most detailed and descriptive answers will be awarded with the chance to become alpha testers [for] World of Warplanes!"

Waaaaay too much bs for a "chance" to alpha test? Best of luck those who want to jump through their hoops for a -possible- chance to test their game.
Posted: Sep 9th 2011 6:08PM FrostPaw said
I'll show my feelings on Xfire and Overwolf by not bothering to sign up. Question is....is that kind of feedback going to be recorded too?

As much as I want to play World of Warplanes, I stopped using Xfire about 5 years ago and don't plan on using it again, sorry.
Posted: Sep 10th 2011 12:25AM jdm12983 said
Yeah, too many hoops for a chance to be in the alpha.
I use Xfire and have no problem with it; but tried Overwolf and didn't really like it much.

i just de-installed xfire, and what is Overwolf?
Dear Wargaming, stop being foolish by requiring bloatware and just use the game.

Hmmm... You know I was watching this one for a while now, since i am a HUGE aviation buff (I still fly Microsoft Flight Simulator X). I would love to get in on it, but yeah the real test is going to be how my computer (and I) react to downloading all the other palava that will come with it. I have not used xfire in ages btw... I am on raptr though. (Under this name)
I suppose I will sign up... though I thought I already did.

"Life is like a camera... Just focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't turn out – take another shot"
"One of the biggest mistakes a photographer can make is to look at the real world and cling to the vain hope that next time his film will somehow bear a closer resemblance to it...If we limit our vision to the real world, we will forever be fighting on the minus side of things, working only too make our photographs equal to what we see out there, but no better."

Originally written on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 11/18/14
Game time: 7:30 p.m. TV: NBC Sports The Pittsburgh Penguins managed to add to their win streak over the Tampa Bay Lightning last month despite playing their first game without Evgeni Malkin. Malkin has resumed practicing, but it's unknown if he'll return from a concussion for Monday night's rematch with the slumping Lightning. Malkin has missed four straight games since colliding with the boards in a 3-1 win over Florida on Feb. 22. The Penguins beat Tampa Bay 5-3 two days later but lost the next two before Saturday's wild 7-6 overtime victory in Montreal. Brandon Sutter ended that game 52 seconds into the extra session and was one of three Pittsburgh players with two goals. Matt Cooke and Chris Kunitz were the others while Kris Letang had a career-high four assists and Sidney Crosby totaled three points. Malkin got a little closer to helping the Penguins again Sunday by going through a full-contact practice. The league's reigning MVP hasn't suffered fro...

"Untitled #9 (A Decorated Chronology of Insistence and Resignation)" (1992-93)
"For me, from very early on, that attention to really fine craft was a way of temporarily transgendering. I like that feeling. I don't know if I can explain that, but maybe it's an enculturated transgendering- not some sort of essentialist idea of gender. In other words, I feel very liberated and free when I'm working, being dutiful and attentive to the object."

Sales Tax Revenues Up 5 Percent
County Totals Jump During First Quarter of FY11
Henrico County's sales tax revenue grew by 5.1 percent during the first quarter of its 2011 fiscal year, compared to the same quarter during the 2010 fiscal year – an encouraging sign for county officials.
During the same quarter, the sales tax revenue in Richmond fell by 23.7 percent, while Chesterfield witnessed a 0.6 percent decline and Hanover saw a 1.9 per increase.
Some of the increased revenue to Henrico likely is the result of the implementation of a "Henrico" mailing address in 2008, which continues to help the county capture revenue that was previously sent to Richmond in error, Henrico Finance Director John Vithoulkas said. Henrico's diverse retail base also factors into the rise in sales in the county, he said.
The figures were compiled from the Virginia Department of Taxation.
"I don't think there's any trend we can draw out of it," Vithoulkas said, "but it's a good result leading into the holiday retail season. I think the local resident is tired of hearing all of the negative economic mumbo-jumbo on the nightly news and they're getting back to living the rest of their lives."
Henrico received $13.86 million in sales tax revenue between July 1 and Sept. 30 of this year, compared with $13.19 million during the same time period in 2009. During the same quarter, Richmond's revenue dropped from $8.31 million last year to $6.34 million this year, while Chesterfield's fell from $9.4 million last year to $9.35 million this year.
Hanover County also experienced slight growth, from $4 million during the same time period last year to $4.08 million this year.
The figures reflect sales in June, July and August, which were paid in July, August and September and distributed to jurisdictions in August, September and October.
The most significant jump in sales came in June, when Henrico's sales were up by 7.3 percent over the same month in 2009, while Richmond's receipts fell 42 percent from last June. (Richmond's steep decline was due in part to an adjustment of funds that it shouldn't have received initially.)
Several Henrico business owners who spoke with the Citizen last week painted pictures that reflected the upward trend, while others said they've experienced ups and downs.
One – Neil Chiappa, owner of N&W Salvage in Sandston – said that his business has been steady through the summer and fall, with a small spike upward at times as shoppers look to save money. His store offers a variety of discounted goods and food items that become more attractive in a down economy, he said.
"We saw a customer increase when the economy got worse, and saw people we hadn't seen before," Chiappa said. The company does little advertising and primarily benefits from word-of-mouth promotion.
Other Henrico businesses rely in part on the goodwill they've built through their involvement in the community. Saxon Shoes President Gary Weiner noted that his company helps between 300 and 500 children each years with its "Shoes for the Needy" project and routinely works with Bright Beginnings and United Way to give away 450 new pairs of shoes to underprivileged children.
"We try and do as much as we can, as often as we can, with the resources that we have," Weiner said. "If everybody gave a little, nobody would have to give a lot."
Saxon's strong reputation in the region helps too, and Weiner said that business is up from the same time last year at the Short Pump Town Center location. Now isn't the time for businesses that are succeeding to become complacent, Weiner insinuated.
"People are particular about how and where they spend their money," he said.
Midas of Richmond's four area locations (including two in Henrico) saw a 7.5 percent increase in revenue during the summer months and an 11 percent increase from last year, according to owner Mark Smith.
"We've seen a significant increase in traffic," he said, attributing his success to steady advertising plans and charitable efforts for Virginia Blood Services, Meals on Wheels and the Central Virginia Foodbank, which Smith is often heard promoting in his advertisements.
"What we're doing seems to be working," he said, "so we just try and stick with what works."
At the eight local Mexico Restaurant locations (including three in Henrico), sales were slower in recent months, according to co-owner Maria Garcia, but the restaurant has tried different strategies to boost business.
"We're trying to get more customers in to have a good business," Garcia said. "Profits aren't the same as they used to be a few years ago, but we're doing all we can and hopefully customers come back after they see the things that we have to offer."
"Overall we're hanging in there."

Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

Deccan Chargers did the hard work in the initial phase, now the task ahead for captain Adam Gilchrist and coach Darren Lehmann is to keep up the momentum.
Rajasthan Royals have begun the climb up the mountain after sliding down in DLF IPL 2010, so each match and each win is a toehold for captain and driving force Shane Warne to regroup into a confident unit.
RR's next game against DC in front of home supporters, coming on the heels of a convincing away victory against Kings XI, is the perfect opportunity to take a big step forward and build on the Mohali mood.
The players appear to know what the skipper expects from them, in contrast to the drift in earlier games when collective effort was missing.
A burst of boundaries is overdue from Yusuf Pathan, chipping in with wickets in previous two games. The performance anxiety seen previously is giving way to improved self-esteem via the bowling success. Captain Warne's faith in his batting ability is enough to spur the RR destroyer into action.
DC's Rohit Sharma is another player yet to justify the match-winner tag in the third edition, in keeping with batting roles in the first two events.
Sharma has the timing, shot and a feel for gaps in the field that places him right up there with Jacques Kallis in the approach to run-making and can play out overs in the manner Chris Gayle succeeded for KKR this time.
In the mood
Gilchrist rates him highly, so does teammate Andrew Symonds. The Indian T20 international got into mood with a quickfire 45 against Delhi Daredevils and remains a prized wicket.
He is also on Warne's hit list, though DC is not dependant on individual performances and anyone from among Gilchrist, Herchelle Gibbs, Andrew Symonds and Chaminda Vaas has fired for the defending champion so far.
The arrival of West Indians Kemar Roach and Dwayne Smith is additional firepower at Lehmann's command. The DC coach confirmed V.V.S. Laxman's availability for Friday's tie against RR.

Rossini Opera Festival, Pesaro
Week of 11/15/14
Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Comunale, Bologna Roberto Abbado, conductor
CAST: Carmen Romeu (Armida); Antonino Siragusa (Rinaldo); Dmitry Korchak (Gernando and Carlo); Carlo Lepore (Idraote and Astarotte); Randall Bills (Gofredo and Ubaldo); Vassilis Kavayas (Eustazio)
The story of the sorceress Armida, from Torquato Tasso's epic poem Jerusalem Liberated, has been set by several great composers -- including Dvorak, Handel and Haydn -- as well as any number of lesser lights. But of all those versions, Rossini's lively opera just may be the best.
MODEST MUSSORGSKY: Boris Godunov
Finnish National Opera, Helsinki
Week of 11/22/14
Finnish National Opera Orchestra and Chorus Michael Güttler, conductor
CAST: Matti Salminen (Boris Godunov); Jyrki Anttila (Shuysky); Koit Soasepp (Pimen); Mika Pohjonen (Grigoriy, the Pretender); Ann-Marie Heino (Fyodor); Anna Kristina Kaappola (Kseniya); Niina Keitel (Marina); Hannu Niemela (Rangoni); Hannu Forsberg (Varlaam); Aki Alamikkotervo (Misail); Evgeny Akimov (The Holy Fool)
Deeply rooted in the country's colorful history, Mussorgsky's epic may be the most famous of all Russian operas. Bass Matti Salminen does a star turn as the tormented title character, in a first-rate production from Finland.
W. A. MOZART: Idomeneo
Vienna State Opera
Week of 11/29/14
Vienna State Opera Orchestra and Chorus
Christoph Eschenbach, conductor
CAST: Michael Schade (Idomeneo); Chen Reiss (Ilia); Margarita Gritskova (Idamante); Maria Bengtson (Elettra); Pavel Kolgatin (Arbace); Carlos Osuna (High Priest of Neptune)
Idomeneo is a masterpiece that's only beginning to gain its rightful place in Mozart's canon. The opera does have an outlandish plot -- complete with conniving gods and a carniverous sea monster -- but it's also blessed with some of Mozart's most beautiful music and a troupe of opera's most touchingly human characters.
P. I. TCHAIKOVSKY: The Queen of Spades
Philharmonie, Munich
Week of 12/6/14
Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus Mariss Jansons, conductor
CAST: Misha Didyk (Herman); Larissa Diadkova (Countess); Tatiana Serjan (Lisa); Alexey Shishlayev (Count Tomsky); Alexey Markov (Prince Yeletsky); Vadim Zapletchny (Chekalinsky); Tomasz Slawinski (Surin); Makhail Makarov (Chaplitsky); Oksana Volkova (Pauline)
Gambling has gotten lots of folks in trouble, but few more dramatically than the unfortunate character Herman in Tchaikovsky's opera. Based on a chilling story by Pushkin, the operatic version is no less disturbing than the original.
GIOACHINO ROSSINI: The Voyage to Reims
Belcanto Opera Festival, Bad Wildbad
Week of 12/13/14
Virtuosi Brunensis Poznan Bach Chorus Antonio Fogliani, conductor
CAST: Alessandra Marianelli (Madame Cortese); Sofia Mchedlisvili (Countess di Folleville); Laura Giordano (Corinna); Marianna Pizzolato (Marchesa Melibea); Maxim Mironov (Count di Libenskof); Bogdan Mihai (Chevalier Belfiore); Mirko Palazzi (Lord Sidney); Mysketa Gezim (Don Alvaro); Bruno Pratico (Barone di Trombonok); Bruno De Simone (Don Profondo)
This score by Rossini is alternately called a dramma giocoso and a "scenic cantata." Either way, it's right at home in the theater, and contains some of the composer's most brilliant vocal writing.
JOHN ADAMS: El Niño
2014 Spoleto Festival USA
Week of 12/20/14
Spoleto Festival USA Orchestra Westminster Choir Joe Miller, conductor
CAST: Erica Brookhyser (Mezzo-Soprano); Daniel Bubeck (Countertenor 1); Brian Cummings (Countertenor 2); Caitlin Lynch (Soprano); Steven Rickards (Countertenor 3); Mark Walters (Baritone)
John Adams, Pulitzer Prize-winner and arguably America's best-known living composer, describes El Niño as, "my way of trying to understand what is meant by a miracle." This sweeping setting of the Christmas story is both compellingly contemporary and filled with ancient traditions, including medieval carolers, Latin American poets, and an ethereal children's chorus. As the New York Times put it, "El Niño bears so many gifts that the senses stagger under the load."
GAETANO DONIZETTI: The Elixir of Love
Royal Opera House, London
Week of 12/27/14
Royal Opera House Orchestra and Chorus Daniele Rustioni, conductor
CAST: Vittorio Grigolo (Nemorino); Lucy Crowe (Adina); Bryn Terfel (Dr. Dulcamara); Levente Molnár (Belcore); Kiandra Howarth (Giannetta)
There's not a lot to be taken seriously in this comic romp by Donizetti -- unless, of course, you count the music! It's some of Donizetti's finest, and takes the opera beyond the world of farce to a place where simple confidence leads to life-changing revelations.
