How do I view Google US results when I'm in Canada?
I get this question asked a lot from co-workers and customers.
Whenever you open up a web browser and and type www.google.com in any browser, Google will automatically change the url to www.google.ca and page to Google Canada.
Google is geotargeting based on your ip address. It does this to provide relevant results to Canadian surfers. Google knows that the vast majority of people within a particular country want to be directed to a Google site that is themed to their specific location and language.
But what happens if you want to do a keyword search and find out what US surfers are seeing on their computers.
To bypass geotargeting, you modify the end of Google browser URLs.
For example, when I do a search for "christmas", the Google browser URL is:
So if you want to view Google.com US results from Canada, just add &gl=us to the end of the above url.
This will bring up what you would see if you were a Google.com user located here in the United States. This same thing can be done to bring up results from other countries just change the country code in that URL to whichever one you'd like to see.
To see a list of two digit country and territory codes, go here.
If you're using Firefox browser, download this plugin called Google Global Extension which makes it easier or permanently access Google US results all the time.

Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are reportedly going to welcome in a baby girl this summer as reports claim the expecting parents know the sex of their bundle of joy.
According to reports, Kanye's dream of having a daughter will now turn into a reality.
Start buying little leather dresses! Kim Kardashian and Kanye West just found out they're expecting a baby girl, a source close to the pregnant reality star tells Us Weekly exclusively. "They're over the moon!" a source close to the first-time parents-to-be tells Us. "Kanye always wanted a girl." Kardashian, 32, and West, 35, began dating in April 2012 and announced they were expecting on Dec. 30. The couple's daughter, due in July, will no doubt be very well dressed. "If anyone knows Kanye, they just know how into fashion he is, and I think he's going to have things specially made," Kim said of the rapper and fashion designer on Jimmy Kimmel Live in January. "So I don't think hand-me-downs are going to work." (Us Magazine)
Last month, Kim K talked about taking baby lessons from her sister and preparing for motherhood.
"I think I've had a really good example by watching Kourtney for sure on how to juggle motherhood and a career and a great relationship and stuff like that," Kim said. "But I think you're never really prepared until you go through it yourself, so all the advice, it can't really help that much." But it doesn't seem like we will get to see first-hand how Kim will adjust to motherhood, since she revealed that she plans to keep both the birth and her baby "private." But Kardashian fans, don't be disappointed yet, Kim said there will be some baby talk on this season of "Kourtney & Kim Take Miami," which premieres Sunday on E! (MTV)
G.O.O.D Music's Common recently discussed seeing his longtime friend prepare for fatherhood.
"I'm real happy for him because Ye is a good brother and I think he really wants a good family right now," Common said in an interview. "[He wants] to have a great family and Kim is, man, Kim is a sweet girl. She's a pretty cool girl, so, I love it. He been with his lady, you know how it is, when you're with your lady, you're chilling. [laughs] But he still kicks it with the squad, man, when necessary. [laughs]" ("Big Boy's Neighborhood")
Mr. West announced the unexpected baby news during a concert in late December.
The rapper announced at a concert Sunday night that his girlfriend is pregnant. He told the crowd of more than 5,000 at Revel Resort's Ovation Hall in song form: "Now you having my baby." The crowd roared. And so did people on the Internet. The news instantly went viral on Twitter and Facebook, with thousands posting and commenting on the expecting couple. (CBS News)

Wow, the trolls are winning by a ton!
Also, I'm really surprised this hasn't gotten more comments; seems to me that a poll like this is just begging the crazy fans to come out of the woodwork and defend their favorite series. Well, I chose I go Wah! because I haven't seen even a single episode of Gintama or Bleach and am not a huge fan of One Piece or Naruto, though I've seen a significant amount of both. I am surprised that Naruto hasn't gotten a single vote to date though. If I'm taking 'Naruto' to mean the whole franchise I can understand, but just the series Naruto (so no Shippuden or the movies) I like quite a bit.

Hm, if we're going by manga, then One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, in that order. I have no opinion on Gintama, as I read part of volume 1, but it didn't grab me.
Bleach anime I really, really liked up until the Bounto arc. Then it fell apart and I gave up. Even when the canon came back, it was so interspersed with filler, I never regained interest. I come back every now and then (the Visored flashback arc was amazing), but that's it. I've also stopped buying the manga, because that is getting dragged out as well, and it seems like Kubo has gotten lost with where he wants to take the story. I stopped buying around volume 31. I do really like Kubo's art and design though, especially his chapter title pages. He should go into fashion design.
Naruto is surprisingly good, despite the amount of flak it gets from anime fans. I enjoyed the anime quite a bit, all the way up to the filler, skipped all of that, started watching Shippuuden, and then watched it really really drag out. Got bored and stopped. When Viz was releasing the manga in 5 volume chunks, that was a blast. I blazed through that. Now it's caught up more or less to the Japanese release, and it comes out sooooo slowly. But I still buy it, 'cause it's pretty good.
One Piece is my favorite, and I prefer the manga over the anime. It took me a while to get used to Oda's art style, but it has really grown on me. One Piece makes me cry QUITE often because the story is so freaking good, and the characters are amazing. Viz's release for this one drives me even more nuts because I like this more than Naruto. This one volume every 4-5 months is killing me.

|aw, I'm no giant fan but I had to give some love to Naruto. All episodes of the first season up to the filler. Shippuden up to around 140, none of the others inspired me to go that far, although I've never given Gintama a chance.

|Going "WAH" on this one and throwing out Dragon Ball Z. I have yet to see One Piece or Gintama, but what I have seen of Naruto & Bleach isn't spectacular in my opinion. They start out with a lot of promise and energy, but eventually just fizzle and fall into a tired routine that usually involves a lot of unnecessary angst in a vain attempt to create "serious character drama." So if we're championing shounen fighting anime, I've gotta go with one that's infinitely sparser on pretension & attempts to be something its not and just cuts right to the chase. Pacing problems aside, it's just loud, light, over-the-top fun, which is really all I expect and all I ever want out of this genre. I'll get my drama elsewhere.

|I understand that, but since my vote was going to wind up being the "none of the above" option regardless, I thought I'd champion a past show from the same genre that I did enjoy all the way through, simply so I don't sound like a complete hater.

Ya, Dragonball & DBZ are awesome! Same opinion; its lack of pretension and straight-forward butt-kicking can be a fresh of breath air. I haven't really been following DBZ Kai, but I've seen the Namek arc and they did a really good job on buffing up the animation, and cutting out what little filler there was in the anime.

I voted for One Piece. Although I've only read the first 12 volumes, I greatly enjoyed what was contained in those pages.
While I loved the cultural comedy of Gintama, I unfortunately found the manga too wordy and almost impenetrable (at least until I get closer to a Level 1 mastery of Japanese culture and Japanese).

|This changes from time to time for me. Now Naruto takes a very strong lead, mainly because something is happening again. Bleach is well... meh. One Piece has always moved at a snails pace, and I don't watch Gintama.

I love both Gintama and One Piece almost equally. I'm up to date with Bleach and sort of Naruto in the manga (Naruto has made me too bored to continue. I'm just plain NOT interested anymore and I'm just waiting for Sasuke to die and Naruto to become Hokage already). Everyone knows Bleach was awesome until the end of the SS arc when (although it was still interesting) it kept on dropping a notch. Now, it's just grasping for straws. I still like it but... Basically Naruto had more moving stories than Bleach so it's more emotionally influencial whereas I enjoy the art and overall style of Bleach (not to mention the HOTTIES in it)
But then there's One Piece and Gintama.
Gintama is the FUNNIEST thing I've ever seen; I just can't describe it. It's annoying too because it's such a troll but that's why I love it. It's hilarious and so unique (by being so un-unique), and NEVER gets boring because it's so crazy and the arcs only go from like 2-8 episodes. I don't know why it's being compared to these other series though It's a comedy manga really. Though there are some BADASS fight scenes too. One of the things I ADORE about it though, is there's always a message at the end of an arc/episode. Some of them are stupid and don't make sense, but then there's some that really influence me. And they're not always the typical "if you try hard you can become better" messages, they're sometimes about every day life and romance etc too. I have learnt a lot from Gintama (also, I know nearly every rude Japanese word because of it )
And One Piece... Honestly, it can't be compared to Naruto and Bleach. Naruto and Bleach have had their moments, and I still like the series a lot, but One Piece is just... It's so moving, unique and romantic. Whilst Naruto & Bleach are dying down and have gone past their peak, One Piece just keeps getting BETTER and BETTER. There's so much mystery & fantasy, I mean just the title of the series is a mystery (What is the One Piece treasure??). The environments, creatures & characters are so strange yet spectacular. It is really filled with precious imagination. People concerntrate on things like story pace, art, fight scenes etc but they're not the essence of a great series. It's about emotional impact. And One Piece has made me cry so much (and I'm not much of a crier). I feel such a deep attatchment to the Strawhats (I love them ALL and besides Gintama, this is the only series who doesn't have a main character I dislike), and I adore the idea of nakama. Also it's so HILARIOUS too (second to Gintama). It has a similar feeling to Naruto, except the story & characters are a lot better. Bleach is just sorta there. I don't feel much for it :\
Sorry for my long rant, but I just wanted to express this

Anime-wise, Gintama by a mile (which is what I voted). It has a few episodes that fall flat, but most of the time it's pretty much the best anime comedy.
Manga-wise, I'm not terribly attached to any of them. I'm not sure why I don't like Gintama the manga as much as I do the anime, but it doesn't grab me nearly as well. I might float Bleach to the top if I had to pick one.

text: Doctor Charged With Murder Previously Had Frozen Fetuses in His Albany Office - Democrats Prevented Investigation by Rusty Weiss 6 Jan 2012 post a comment Share This: A potentially huge Democratic scandal is brewing in upstate New York, regarding a trophy-keeping abortion practitioner who had a collection of 17 frozen fetuses confiscated from a clinic in Albany back in 1996. An assistant to the Attorney General's office is now claiming that the doctor, Dr. Steven Chase Brigham, was never thoroughly investigated due to political pressure from the Albany Democratic machine. Now, sixteen years after the fact, that same doctor has been charged with murder. [caption id="attachment_403052" align="aligncenter" width="380" caption="Dr. Steven Bringham"][/caption] Could hindering an investigation of Dr. Brigham make Democrats in Albany an accessory to murder? Last week, LifeNews reported on a pair of abortion practitioners who were charged with murder across two states: Operation Rescue has learned that abortionists Steven Chase Brigham and Nicola Irene Riley have been charged with murder related to the deaths of viable babies at an illegal secret abortion clinic that the pair operated in Elkton, Maryland. Brigham is currently in the custody at the Camden County Jail in New Jersey and Riley was arrested and is currently in the custody of the Salt Lake County Jail in Utah. Both are awaiting extradition to Maryland. Brigham was charged with five counts of first-degree murder and five counts of second-degree murder. Riley was charged with one count of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder. The charges are the result of a Grand Jury investigation. This is the same Dr. Brigham who had once been profiled in a New York Times article with sympathetic leanings to the cause of abortion doctors, even citing his record as "proof of the shortage of abortion providers" and demonstrating that "the small number of people still performing abortions are working in a war zone." Yes, a war zone where the enemy is an unborn, defenseless baby. Now we've learned that Brigham also had a long history of late-term abortions, including harboring 17 frozen fetuses in his Albany office back in 1996. The Times Union has discovered that: A New Jersey doctor charged with murder last week for performing several late-term abortions in Maryland had once operated an abortion clinic in Albany County at which state investigators discovered 17 frozen fetuses in 1996. The discovery was part of a broader investigation by the New York attorney general's office, which declined to pursue criminal charges related to allegations that late-term abortions, in violation of New York's fetal homicide law, were being performed at the Colonie clinic then owned by Dr. Steven Chase Brigham. At the time, investigators said there was evidence that Dr. Mark Binder, who worked for Brigham at the Central Avenue facility, American Women's Services, had performed abortions on fetuses that exceeded 24 weeks. The frozen fetuses were discovered in a freezer at Brigham's Central Avenue clinic, and were later buried in Albany Rural Cemetery. Charges though, other than Medicaid fraud, were never brought. John Meekins, a former assistant attorney general who worked the case stated he "encountered political pressure against the investigation from the Albany Democratic machine, including a judge who had ties to the Colonie clinic's landlord." There simply is no level that liberals won't stoop to in order to promote their pro-abortion agenda, as this seems to indicate. Details of the case are bone-chilling: Meekins said, "In fact, I spoke to an undertaker and he said he picked up the body of a child there that looked to him like it was fully developed. I couldn't get any confirmation of that," Meekins said. But a health department report refers to a coroner describing one of the fetuses as appearing in size to be about 7 or 8 months. Perhaps had Albany Democrats not stepped in to hinder Brigham's prosecution back in 1996, they could have saved other babies from meeting the same fate, preventing further murders.

Recently my son took part in the Little Linksters program at a local golf club.
There, with other children his age, he received lessons from a golf pro, and plenty of practice time with help from the instructor. I'd highly recommend checking it out, and my son loved it!
Naturally, it wet his appetite for more of the game, and so we braved the insane wind as a family, and spent some time at the driving range. He's excited to play even more, and so I've been putting together some creative golf ideas that we can use in our family time.
With a six and a four-year-old, we might be hard pressed to actually get through nine holes on a golf course, but if we do, I think we should dress up in fun golf outfits to do it. Argyle vests, high socks and funny hats should do the trick.
For an activity that will take up less time and attention, I find the driving range is a great alternative. Buy a couple of buckets of balls and set up at your stations. At times, when I know that our children will need some instruction, I try to warn them beforehand so they know what to expect, that the learning is a good thing, and we're not just trying to spoil their fun.
You can include some positive reinforcements for things like a great follow through, contact with the ball, and correct feet placement. To add a bit of silliness, challenge them to have a partner set them up and drive the ball with their eyes closed, or to attempt a "Happy Gilmore Drive."
Lots of fun can also be had on the putting green. Start by placing small markers at varying distances outside the green, and compete to see who can chip the ball onto the green. On the green, you could line up a row of balls and "speed putt" them into the hole.
Give them one minute to sink as many shots as possible, but remember no running and no divots.

Chuck Hagel Unloads on GOP
Republican Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska has always been known as one of Washington's biggest moderates. He frequently reaches across the aisle and works with Democrats, and he even refused to endorse John McCain in this year's presidential race (his wife endorsed Barack Obama).
Now, after not running for reelection, he has only two months left of his Senate career. And he apparently intends to use it bashing his own party…
Appearing at a forum at the Johns Hopkins School of Advances International Studies, the outgoing Nebraska Republican leveled harsh criticism at his own party, the lack of intellectual curiosity among some of his colleagues, the Bush administration's handling of nearly every aspect of governance and — perhaps most bitingly — the conservative radio voices that often dictate the GOP agenda.
"We are educated by the great entertainers like Rush Limbaugh," said Hagel, sarcastically referencing the talk radio host who once called him "Senator Betrayus." "You know, I wish Rush Limbaugh and others like that would run for office. They have so much to contribute and so much leadership and they have an answer for everything. And they would be elected overwhelmingly," he offered. "[The truth is] they try to rip everyone down and make fools of everybody but they don't have any answers."
Hagel is free to speak as he likes — he has nothing to gain or lose as he rides off into the sunset of retirement. I bet he can't wait to go back to Nebraska and live out the rest of his days in total obscurity.
Unless… What's that, Mr. Obama? Did you say that you're looking for some Republicans to serve in your Cabinet?
Well, I guess Chuck Hagel could maybe be persuaded to stay…
Tags: Barack Obama, Chuck Hagel, John McCain, Rush Limbaugh, Senate

Teacher quality

Parent involvement
The Island School is where we ended up when the great public schools of Bainbridge Island were not a fit for our son. I am pleased with the experience thus far. My son is comfortable and engaged in the school activities and feels secure with his teachers. He is thriving. Excellent place for sensitive who are overwhelmed by larger and busier environments. This school has heart in a unique way and the kids know it.
This school is a special environment. It is small, protective and feels good the minute you walk in the door. We love the Head of School, who is often down on the floor with the kids, singing along during the Monday Morning Sing. The teachers know all the kids' names - I mean in the whole school. There is no tolerance for bullying or teasing, which made our child feel safe. While I hope the school realizes its goals, it's hard to imagine it growing too large - the intimate environment is too precious. we also love the emphasis on fun - rare these days. Our child, who used to loathe school, is excited to go and feels free to be himself. His teachers both cherish him. We're so grateful to be part of the community, and our son is happier and more at ease now that he's there.
Parent involvement is a must for young children. Learning respect, and care from adults is essential for an integrated program that allows children to learn in an atmosphere of learning for the love of it. I will always cherish my past experiences where I got to know our teachers, the students and felt such a warm acceptance for my help and interest.
In a school system of good elementary schools The Island School is a stand out. It has been part of the island community for 30 years. The teachers are experienced and caring, and each class is small with a teacher and a teacher s assistant. The volunteer spirit is vibrant and it is common to see parents or grandparents reading with children in the halls or helping with other activities. There is something very special about this school. My wife and I felt this positive energy the moment we walked in the door and were greeted by the wonderful Principal. After a touring, we knew this is where we wanted our child to start his academic life and we have never regretted that decision. We would recommend The Island School without reservation and encourage every parent of an elementary age kid to at least visit the school and see for yourself.

Sharad Pawar-led NCP on Monday promised reservations to Muslims as well as Marathas, implementation of Rajinder Sachar committee report, and support for `statehood to Andaman and Nicobar' in its manifesto for the Lok Sabha election, released in Mumbai.
It also advocated privatisation of agriculture; privatisation and price protection to farmers would be Government's strategy "to synergies agriculture growth", the manifesto said. Private sector's participation would be promoted through contract-farming, it added.
The party, which is in alliance with Congress in Maharashtra and is a part of the UPA, has presence in (apart from Maharashtra) Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Nagaland, Gujarat, Odisha and Kerala, manifesto pointed out.
It promised support to statehood to Andaman and Nicobar Islands, full state status to Delhi, and "zero tolerance" approach to terrorism.
The 44-page manifesto also said that NCP did not support introduction of uniform civil code. It was for continuance of personal codes so long as they did not violate the Constitution, it said.
It promised representation to minority communities in public sector, Government and semi-Government establishments.
It would work for passage of Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill, 2013, the manifesto said. Further, it promised that NCP would ensure implementation of Sachar committee's recommendations including job reservations for Muslims without delay.
Reservations would be provided to weaker sections such as the Muslims and Marathas in education and jobs, it said.
Marathas, who are politically dominant in Maharashtra, form a backbone of NCP's base in the State.

Not according to the wives of the investigators. In A Wife for a Life (O'Neill's first play), a husband seeks revenge for his wife's infidelity. He meets a young man in love and is forced to reconsider the very marriage he seeks to defend. Two little-seen plays in one gem of an outing.

The Light in the Piazza
A glorious musical story set in Italy in the summer of 1953. Margaret is touring the Tuscan countryside with her daughter, Clara. While sightseeing, Clara has a chance encounter with Fabrizio, a handsome Florentine, and they fall in love. Margaret tries to keep them apart to protect her daughter, who isn't what she seems. But the romance of Italy is powerful, and it slowly transforms them all. From the writer of the musical Floyd Collins, which the Shaw Festival produced to huge acclaim in 2004.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 5 Episode 1 kicked off another run of 90210 insanity on Bravo Tuesday, and what better place to get it going than ....
The White Party. It has been the stuff of legend as long as we can remember.
In addition to newcomers Eileen Davidson and Lisa Rinna, former cast members Adrienne Maloof, Camille Grammer and Taylor Armstrong all attended.
The stage was set for drama at Kyle Richards' annual soiree. Who delivered?
Clearly the soap opera stars did not join the cast to make friends. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 5 Episode 1 proved this point in spades.
It was a series veteran who served as the foil for most of the cast, however.
First, we catch up with Yolanda Foster, who is proud of her daughters Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid, and with Brandi Glanville, who is a total mess as usual.
She's still holding a grudge against Lisa Vanderpump after last season. Sigh.

Counties across the nation are reviewing their public defender systems. Some are learning that attorneys are overwhelmed with cases.
Assistant Public Defender Jessica West is among those speaking for the accused in Douglas County and one of them is Michelle Lopez.
Ms. Lopez said, "I couldn't say that I wasn't guilty. I was guilty."
After drinking with friends at her home one night in March, Lopez said she made a decision that could have ruined her life: she drove drunk.
"At that time I did not think about my children, my grandchildren," she said. "I think of what could have happened to me or happened to somebody else."
Jessica West said, "I'm on their side when I may be the only person on their side."
Almost every day, West and other public defenders move swiftly from courtroom to courtroom representing clients who cannot afford a private attorney. Most of them are people just like Lopez.
West said, "An individual is so much more than the worst thing that they've done. We've all had bad days and you know that you are better than you are on your worst day."
Mixed in, are cases we do hear about - clients accused of murder, robbery, and rape.
Across the nation counties are questioning if public defenders are too overworked to spend the time needed for each case.
So far this year, West has had 46 felony cases and 86 misdemeanor cases. Private attorneys we talked to say they see about half that number in an entire year.
West told us that her caseload does not interfere with the quality of the representation she provides.
She said, "Just because I'm not by my phone you should take that as a good thing because that means that I'm up in court fighting."
Douglas County Public Defender Tom Riley says his office has a formula to assign cases evenly so that no one attorney is overwhelmed. However, sometimes the courts will assign more cases than normal, causing higher caseloads.

November 24, 2014
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Crews are dismantling an amusement park
ride that amputated a teenager's feet last summer.
Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom began taking down the Superman Tower
of Power ride on Wednesday, eight months after a cable snapped and
cut off 14-year-old Kaitlyn Lasitter's feet.
Kentucky Kingdom spokeswoman Carolyn McLean declined to say what
will become of the ride or if anything will go in its place when
the park reopens in the spring.
Lasitter and her family are suing Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom,
claiming the park failed to maintain the ride and equipment and
ensure riders' safety. In court filings, the amusement park has
denied liability in the accident.

A word from Sotto
It is a concept of casual intimacy and communal romance. Sotto is the art of simplicity, a steward of restraint. It's undressed, gutsy and human. It is fire, meat, wheat, and laughter. Above all, Sotto is Italian.Continued

- Great food and atmosphereJeffVIPDined on 11/26/2014We dined at Sotto's on a Wednesday night as our son and his girlfriend were in-town from the East Coast. We had a great experience. We each ordered a salad, appetizer or pasta, and then shared the open-fired cooked 35 oz. porterhouse. The insalata di pear with gorgonzola salad was wonderful. The house made cappellacci pasta stuffed with short ribs was outstanding. Jerry works the open hearth expertly, serving the steak a perfect medium rare with a chimichurri sauce. We all enjoyed the famous ricotta doughnuts for dessert. The atmosphere is lively with the open kitchen, exposed brick walls, and energetic bar. Diners were still arriving at 9:30 on a Wednesday evening. This was our third visit to Sotto in the past year, and have enjoyed it each time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great again!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/26/2014We have been several times for special occasions. We love the food and atmosphereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent for my anniversaryOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/25/2014Sotto exceeded our expectations. We were told it was a good place, but my wife and I had a great experience in our anniversary. Vibrant attendance, Excellent food, Excellent serviceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cool Basement!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/23/2014I love Sotto!!! The atmosphere is just amazing!! So intimate & such character!!! The staff goes out of their way to make your visit perfect!!! And the Zeppoli (donuts) are to die for, especially with the caramel syrup!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Innovative ItalianMaryAnnVIPDined on 11/22/2014Food was very good and service was adequate, We were seated in the bar area and it was a little too noisy for my liking. We were celebrating my birthday and would have preferred a quieter dinner. Will try to book earlier next time and request table in dining area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of Cincinnati's best!NickDined on 11/22/2014The wait staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and is very helpful with wine pairings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 11/21/2014Overall great experience! The atmosphere was fresh and hip. The food was amazing. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and able to recommended several great dishes. He also recommended I try something out of the ordinary and the dish was great. I will go back next time I am in Cincinnati!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/21/2014Sotto never lets me down! Amazing food and romantic, intimate setting.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/20/2014The foot, ambiance, and service at Sotto were great. However, after ordering two appetizers, two entrees, and dessert, we left Sotto ready to eat another meal. When we splurge on dinner, at the very least I expect to be full when I leave. While the entire experience was excellent, I felt that I didn't get my money's worth here. Next time we will be going somewhere where we get the same quality AND more bang for our buck.Special Features:
- JimbusDined on 11/20/2014Love the atmosphere and sharing all of the different courses with your friends. The selections are really good and everything we've eaten there has been fantasticSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for a quick bite or a relaxing evening outJodyDined on 11/19/2014We had a pre-theater dinner at Sotto this week and were impressed by the service and attention from the moment we entered the door. While the menu is a bit limited, there were several options we considered. The penne with vodka sauce and pork loin with beurre blanc turned out to be the perfect choices for my husband and myself. Sotto must be distinguished by the attention to detail and emphasis on friendly service. Lauren did an excellent job and was supported by at least 2 other staff members in making sure our food arrived fresh and hot. The assistant manager also stopped at our table to be sure we were pleased with the food and service. We are already looking forward to our next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- KingDined on 11/16/2014The description of the menu items was not clear. You shouldn't need a translator to explain pasta noodles in a red sauce.Special Features:
- Never disappointsCityqueenDined on 11/15/2014Sotto is always changing up their menu with seasonal selections. The butternut squash ravioli in brown butter melted in my mouth.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Near disasterOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/14/2014We enjoyed the food and wine. Too dark. My son nearly ate a doughnut with the pistachio dip after the server told us that there were no nuts in the desert. We asked our waitress a few moments later to confirm that the dip was pistachio, and my son spit out what was in his mouth. The waitress apologized (therefore aware) but no further mention of the potential blunder was made. Nothing off the bill. I didn't complain, because it was my wife's birthday and I didn't want the evening to turn contentious. But I was very disappointed. If my sons allergy was more severe, we might have spent the night at the hospital. All wait staff should be aware of food allergies, and Sotto should take more accountability.Special Features:
- Noise levelDeafeningDined on 11/12/2014The restaurant is entirely too noisy. Hard to have a good table conversation. Why not soften the walls and ceiling?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent experience!OpentablerVIPDined on 11/12/2014First time for us at Sotto, it exceeded our expectations! We will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RickNoiselevelDined on 11/10/2014Noise level in this restaurant was VERY HIGH. Our party of 6 could not converse with all of our guests. Our conversations at the table were limited because of the noise level of the restaurant.
- A Great Night OutZManDined on 11/9/2014Terrific, creative menu, with a young, vibrant staff that bends over backwards to help you and each other out. Great music piped in.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Other options availabldeejal01VIPDined on 11/8/2014The menu lends itself to a simple Italian trattoria offering simple plated dishes with an embellished flavor profile. Overall, the food is flavorful but the plating leaves a lot to be desired. The menu does not mention that gluten free pastas are available, however, if you ask the server for gluten free options, they will be pointed out to you! Very nice!
- DollarjrDined on 11/8/2014Seth was awesome - he thoroughly explained every single dish on the menu and never let us sit with an empty drink! He also taught us how to make some of the newer additions at home. Food was amazing, per usual.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Second visitrepeatper4manceDined on 11/8/2014The first time I went with a friend who is a died-in-the wool foodie. She ordered for both of us. Had a problem chosing wine - server brooght out samples of the three we were considering! This time my wife and I went with friends. The menu is "mostly" in Italian. The server took the time to describe EVERY dish. The food was amazing, We were not rushed. We will go back soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Romantic Night OutSuecraigDined on 11/7/2014I spent Friday night at Sotto. Everything was fantastic and the ambiance can't be beat. One of my favorite places to visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still AmazingthistlepupDined on 11/6/2014This is my second time back and if I could eat there every night I'm pretty sure I would. Tried the pork loin and it was amazing so tender and the acidity from the lemon caper sauce set it off. As always the short rib pasta is heaven in your mouth.Special Features:

- Fan-Freakin'-Tastic!kipsanddipDined on 10/31/2014We went there for our anniversary dinner, and were treated like royalty! Our server was extremely helpful in finding the perfect dishes for us, and he even found a wine that we both loved based on our likes/dislikes in wines we have had previously. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself is really beautiful...exposed brick, our table overlooked the wine pit, dim lighting, natural wood...just amazing! We already want to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/30/2014Great service! It was a little loud in the main dining area and our party of 8 had a hard time hearing everyone at our table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great find!ilove2eatDined on 10/25/2014This restaurant really met my expectations, especially being a sister company to Boca. The food was really good. I have to say the best things we tried were the goat cheese and honey bruscetta, the Fusilli bolognese, the Branzino, and the doughnuts for dessert. The restaurant was dimly light and a little noisy giving it a rustic cellar feel. Our server was awesome and made several recommendations. A must try in Cincinnati.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Out of this world!drfoodieDined on 10/25/2014We had been recommended Sotto by Cincinnati locals before we came into town last year but could not get reservations at that last minute. This year since it was s special occasion we booked ahead of time and boy was it worth it! The food and service were out of this world : fresh ingredients served simply and beautifully. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific in every wayOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 10/25/2014We thoroughly enjoyed Sotto. The atmosphere and service were top notch; attentive, but understated. The food simple but outstanding, it reminded me of the early simplicity Mario Batali brought to life on Molto Mario. The grilled Blue Oven Bakery bread was so good, and the textures of the house made pasta were magical. Then wrapping up with the donuts that were as soft as clouds. We've already booked our next night to Sotto. Top notch night out.Special Features:
- LOVE it!YummyinDenverDined on 10/25/2014Amazing experience at Sotto. Fabulous service, ridiculously delicious food, great options. Only thing I could possibly say was "bad" is that it is very dark...but that definitely adds to the ambiance so nothing I would change. Recommended 100%!Special Features:
- CharDined on 10/24/2014We were celebrating a birthday; everything was really good. Our experience was enhanced by our waiter, Seth. It was our first time dining at Soto, he explained everything and made great suggestions. He is a plus for the restaurant. We will all definitely go there again.Special Features:
- Food great, but too loud, darkIrishAlwaysDined on 10/24/2014We sat at a perimeter "barrel" style booth which were even more dimly lit than others. It was so dark you could not possibly read the menu. Server suggested that we get the flashlight app from apple and use that (?), when she figured out that was impractical to ask of us we were brought a candle which made it possible to read. Strange dichotomy of very "low light" ambiance and very loud rock music throughout. So it can't hit the "romantic" either. Very beautiful reclaimed wood and stone on walls, but could barely be enjoyed in poor light. Place was empty at 5:30 but we were told would be jammed in 10 minutes. Many folks must have ditched their reservations. Still much less than half full when we left at 7:00pm.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SottoAudreybgDined on 10/23/2014Beautiful restaurant and excellent service. Menu is very limited.Special Features:

About Janine Swenberg
Part time resident of Hawaii. We plan to retire here one day. In the meantime, we enjoy sharing this property and beautiful island with travelers from around the world.
Janine Swenberg purchased this condo in 2005
Why Janine Swenberg chose Kailua Kona
This property is centrally located on the west side of Hawaii. There is easy access to many beaches, restaurants, and activities within a 5 - 20 minute drive. We enjoy water sports a lot, so the proximity to them is important to us. The Alii Cove complex is kept in great condition, and there is a nice poolside/gym/bbq area to enjoy.
What makes this condo unique
The loft is spacious and the condo is not cluttered with miscellaneous items. There is a landscaped lawn and garden below the master bedroom and lanai, which feels more private than having cars parked below.
