Summer is synonymous with many things – baseball, fireworks and, unfortunately, mosquitoes. The bugs can ruin a summer barbecue faster than a rotten hamburger.
So how can you prevent them from invading your yard?
For homeowner Jerry McVeigh, living on a wooded lot with a pond and a lake, he has seen his fair share of mosquitoes. So McVeigh hired a professional mosquito control company to treat his yard regularly.
"We tried everything: foggers, all the different coils," he said. "You name it, we tried it. And a lot of other people I'm sure understand this - we were so sensitive about strong chemicals because of what's going on with the wildlife."
With a little preventative maintenance and monitoring, you can gain the upper hand on mosquitoes.
"There are many places around a homeowner's property where they can look for sources of standing water," said mosquito control contractor Ken Frost. "The thing is we are only looking for a very small amount of water. In fact, it only takes a soda bottle cap full of water to breed several hundred mosquitoes."
Empty bird baths, kiddie pools, flower pot saucers, and keep gutters clear.
"We can go out now with the children and grandchildren and be out in the evening, walk around anywhere, go down to the lake and fish," said McVeigh.
Better to have the fish bite than the mosquitoes.
Several types of plants also act as a natural mosquito repellent. Mosquitoes avoid catnip, lavender, marigolds, basil and peppermint.
Mosquitoes can transmit serious diseases including West Nile virus and malaria, and can expose dogs to heartworm.
The good news is you don't have to run for cover every time the sun goes down. With a little preventative maintenance and monitoring, you can gain the upper hand on mosquitoes.
Angie's List, the nation's leading provider of consumer reviews
Mosquitoes go through four stages in their life cycle: egg, larvae, pupa and adult and all but the last stage occur in water. Without water, mosquitoes can reproduce.
You might think your yard is safe from mosquitoes because there's no obvious sign of standing water, but the reality is that even a bottle cap full of water can become a mosquito breeding ground. The number one most important thing you can do is eliminate standing water.
Angie's List Tips: How to eliminate standing water
· Empty water from bird baths, flower pot saucers, pet dishes, old tires, unused swimming pools, fence posts, and other items that collect and hold water.
· Make sure rain barrels are covered.
· Keep gutters cleaned. Clogged gutters or gutters that don't drain properly are common breeding sites.
Angie's List Tips: Mosquito prevention
· Trim back vegetation: Mosquitoes feast on plant nectar when they aren't prowling for blood, so they spend a lot of time in tall grasses or around shrubs and bushes. Trim vegetation near the home and keep lawns mowed.
· Use mosquito-repelling plants: Several types of plants act as a natural mosquito repellent. For example, the citronella smell used in mosquito-repelling candles is derived from the citronella plant, a grass that can be grown in climates where it doesn't freeze or raised in a pot in colder climates. Mosquitoes also avoid catnip, lavender, marigolds, basil and peppermint.
· Remove yard debris: Be aware of areas where debris collects in the yard, such as grass clippings and piles of leaves.
If prevention doesn't produce adequate results, professional mosquito control companies provide barrier spray treatments that kill adult mosquitoes, and larvicides that kill mosquitoes in the larvae stage.
Angie's List Tips: Hiring professional mosquito control
· Ask about chemicals: If you have pets or children, ask which insecticides will be used in the treatment. Ask to see the label of the product.
· Are you licensed? In many states and jurisdictions, exterminators must be licensed. Check with your state pesticide agency to find out if this applies to your area. The exterminator may also be required to a hold a license to use certain pesticides or chemicals. Ask to see the exterminator's license before making a hiring decision.
· What is the application schedule: How often will the company come out? Most mosquito control companies offer plans where a technician applies a one-time treatment or comes out several times a year. Some homeowners will schedule a single treatment before an outdoor event such as a wedding or party.
· Read the contract before signing: All details should be clearly stated in a contract before you sign the dotted line, including whether the company offers a guarantee.

Buying a Quarter (or Side) of Grass Fed Beef (and other local meats)
- Delairen Apr 2, 2010 11:10 AM
I'm about to take the plunge and purchase my first (probably) quarter or (maybe) side of beef, and I was looking for recommendations from people who've done this sort of thing before. Anyone have any personal experiences they would like to relate?
Things I'd like to know:
Where did you buy?
What (amount) did you get?
How was the quality?
Would you do it again?
If you have experiences with Goat, Lamb or Pig, I'd also be interested in that. We just bought a big ol' chest freezer, and Mama's looking to fill 'er up.
Hi Delairen, we also are looking into buying a side of grass fed beef. We have a farm in Vacaville already in mind though, Nature's Bounty, we just need someone to go in on it with us. You have to buy the whole cow. It's a dollar a pound, significantly less than other venues in the area, mainly because there are no courtesies provided. They will cut it into equal amounts of steaks and cubes, with bone. They don't debone, shrink wrap, pack or custom-cut. You pick it up in bulk bags, NOT FROZEN--you have to take it home and wrap yourself. Just let me know if you'd be interested. misskoral at yahoo.com
Nature's Bounty
211 G St, Antioch, CA 94509
We've bought a whole steer twice from Double-Bar-O Angus Ranch in Esparto. The taste is incredible -- meat with an almost floral scent and grassy, light fat. (If that makes sense!) The steer is grass-fed and dry-aged after harvest at least 3 weeks. The last steer we bought was 1600 lbs on the hoof but significantly less after dry-aging. (We split the meat between 12 people/households.) I will absolutely do it again; it's practically the only way we buy beef now. Last year it was $1.30/pound on the hoof. Not sure of the exact harvest and butchering fees. We did have it butchered and frozen locally in Esparto and they were very accommodating about our preferences. You should let the rancher know in advance (before harvest) which organ meats etc. you want to keep.
Bud's Custom Meats processes a lot of single-animal orders--cut, wrapped, labeled, frozen. You might call and ask them if they can put you in touch with a rancher.
Bud's Custom Meats
7750 Petaluma Hill Rd, Penngrove, CA
I buy my grass-fed beef from Beltane Ranch near Sonoma by the quarter cow. It fills about two shelves of the freezer and is excellent. I highly recommend it.
Its been many, many years since I've bought beef on the hoof, but if possible, this is the time to dry-age the beef if you like that. So much less waste if dried by half or quarter, rather than primal cuts. Bud's in Penngrove has a good reputation for handling.
Hi, Delairen. I might be able to help you especially with the quality question. Or more accurately, how to increase the chances you'll get a beef with a flavor & texture that appeals to you (it will vary by farm, breed, diet, aging time/technique, and talent). I'm not sure whether you can find my email through Chow - if not, you can find it on my site.
One simple word of advice - see if you can get a sample of a small steak and some burger (it's worth paying for it) before you buy the 1/4 or 1/2. While with grass-fed beef (or any pastured meat) flavor will vary throughout the year as the forage and age of the livestock changes, you should get some idea of whether you like the meat from that particular farm/breed etc.

November 26, 2014
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) - Prosecutors say a Southern California sushi chef accused in the strangling death of a sushi chef has likely fled to Nicaragua.
The Orange County district attorney's office said Tuesday that a $1 million warrant has been issued for Henry Nunez-Godinez , who has been charged Murdering killing Chang-Ho Jung on Dec. 11.
Prosecutors say Nunez-Godinez, who worked with Jung at a restaurant in Lake Forest, strangled him with a cord on Dec. 11 in the Laguna Hills apartment they shared.
The owners of the sushi restaurant found Jung's body at the apartment after he failed to show up for work.
Sheriff's officials say Nunez-Godinez fled the U.S., drove the length of Mexico in his black 2005 Volkswagen Jetta and has reached Nicaragua.
He could get 25 years-to-life in prison.

A Leo-Cedarville utility is seeking a water rate increase that would affect more than 400 Allen County customers, the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor said Thursday.
Pioneer Water wants a rate increase through the state's Small Utility Filing Procedure, which is available to utilities with fewer than 5,000 customers and is designed to reduce the time and expense involved with regulatory filings.
The utility's request would raise rates in two phases.
For a residential customer using 5,000 gallons a month, the monthly water rate would increase from $35 to $48.68 and would rise to $57.01 after the utility completes its financing.
Affected customers are asked to contact the Office of Utility Consumer Counselor with questions, comments or concerns at www.in.gov/oucc/2370.htm.
The office is scheduled to complete its review and file a report with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission on May 23.

- Special nightAlwayseatDined on 11/22/2014We chose this place for our 35th anniversary celebration and it didn't disappoint. The food was tremendous, service was on point and the ambience was quiet and secluded. Just what the doctor ordered. Will definitely be coming back and enjoying its menu again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UnderwhelmingOhKayDined on 11/14/2014So I'll start with the positives. Service was outstanding and the menu was unique. The restaurant itself was intimate but not too formal. Unfortunatley for us the negative was the food. We had received recommendations from friends and restaurant reviews all raved about the fresh and local menu selections. No doubt a lot of work was done in preparing the food, but we found that it didn't transfer to the taste. It wasn't bad, it just didn't live up to the expectations we were expecting. I'm hoping that it was just the selections available the night we wentbecause we are willing to give it another try (we've been told the clam chowder is to die for but is only available during a limited time).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GoodfindDined on 10/31/2014Great food and excellent service with nice ambiance.Special Features:
- Surpassed ExpectationsMaryDined on 10/29/2014My husband and I agreed that the food we had at Margarita was the best restaurant meal we have had since moving to Colorado Springs earlier this year. I selected the vegetarian entrée and he had the pork chop. Both exceptional.Special Features:
- A lot of hypeRmwilleDined on 10/29/2014I was told by someone that this was an amazing restaurant. I was not impressed. 4 choices on the menu. I got the sesame chicken salad. It was massive. The chicken had a weird mushy texture. The dressing was good though. My mom had relleno pepper dish and she maybe ate 1/4 of it and couldn't eat any more. She did not like it. Dessert came with our meal, however when we asked what was on top of the cake the server seemed to have no idea. Luckily I looked closer because I'm allergic to oats and there were oats on top. I was not able to eat my dessert.
- Amazing place!luv2eatHealthyDined on 10/29/2014I had never been to Margarita at Pine Creek for lunch before, only dinner, which is amazing. The lunch menu is unique, concise and even has choices for my vegetarian needs. For an extremely reasonable price, lunch includes bread (with a tasty spread in addition to butter), salad, the entree, AND the dessert of the day!! Our server was very fun and thoughtful. I have told my friends about this place and will be going again very soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, but not intimatediningdivaVIPDined on 10/24/2014We love the food at The Margarita at Pine Creek, but the noise makes it a bit challenging for a romantic dinner. The tile floors and small main dining space make it hard to enjoy a quiet meal as you are able to hear everything going on around you as it reverberates off of the floor and walls. So, while we will go back on occasion due to their quality of food, due to the noise, and the price point, it is not what we would consider a top fine dining restaurant for Colorado SpringsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent! Eggs Benedict delish!CologurlDined on 10/19/2014Enjoyed a great brunch - super service. They were able to accommodate a late request for a 80th birthday "cake". Fun brunch spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fantasticjbird152Dined on 10/18/2014Had dinner with my girlfriend and I can't think of a dining experience in recent memory that is even in the ballpark. It was great all the way around.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A favorite celebration spot!Susan1Dined on 10/14/2014Dining at The Margarita is always a special treat and this visit was for a friend's birthday luncheon. We all had the soup and salad which came with a fabulous slice of their homemade coffee cake for dessert! Exceptionally great house dressing on the salad and the soup is always amazing but the best treat is he homemade pimento cheese spread that comes with the warm loaf of honey wheat bread! It's a splurge calorie-wise but SO worth it!!! Great views, secluded seating leads you a million miles away from the hubbub of a chain restaurant! The only slight complaint that day was the service. iced tea refills were hard to come by and time between courses and even being acknowledged after arriving were uncomfortably long. That was unusual!Special Features:
- Great fresh foodswim2Dined on 10/9/2014The food at the Margarita is fresh, simple and delicious. I have never had a bad meal there and especially like going for lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingCivisUSDined on 10/7/2014They have an amazing three course lunch for a very reasonable price! Only two entree options but it changes everyday and I have never not found something I didn't love! My favorite place for lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MarGinDined on 10/2/2014We try to visit Margarita's when we're in Colorado Springs. It never fails to provide an excellent meal, and the service is always first-rate. They have a good wine list and its nicely appointed, with the tables providing an appropriate amount of privacy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous food and romantic settingMichelleDined on 9/30/2014The food here is always great - I have yet to find a dish I didn't love. The service is good and the setting is so romantic with little nooks and crannies and tucked, hidden away tables.Special Features:
- The Getaway PlacedinerDined on 9/26/2014Everything was great except the taped music played same thing each hour. I did say something. They did have live music on the patio for "regulars" which I took offense to (use to live closer but came back for Restaurant Week). Still a good place to getaway!Special Features:
- Great place with great people!!LawmanDined on 9/24/2014I had a romantic date and they placed me in a cozy spot in the restaurant and were very attentive. The food was excellent everybody there made us feel special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Sunday Brunch FavoritedemchoDined on 9/21/2014I like the atmosphere at Margarita at Pine Creek--quiet, lots of nooks and crannies inside, great outdoor dining patio. I also like the selection of benedicts on the Sunday brunch menu. On this visit I had a Cubano benedict, which was good. On a previous visit I tried the enchiladas, which were amazing. You always get a bit of coffee cake as a starter for brunch, and on this visit it was hot and fresh. Service was a little scattered this time (several different servers & sometimes disappeared for a while), but friendly and helpful, available at key times, and we didn't feel rushed at all. This is a great little local place and has its own personality. I will definitely continue dining there and recommending it to others.Special Features:
- Wonderful, as alwaysDinerKDined on 9/21/2014We discovered The Margarita at Pine Creek shortly after we moved here 20 years ago. Our daughter was home recently for a brief visit from overseas, and Sunday brunch was on her to-do list. Our brunch was outstanding- the atmosphere, service, and food were terrific as always, especially the coffee cake and hot cinnamon tea! One of our favorite things about the brunch is to eat on the patio, but it was a bit chilly and breezy to eat outside on the morning we were there. This is a great place for adults and older children.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyed our first visitOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/19/2014We went for our wedding anniversary dinner for our 1st visit. We were pleasantly surprised. The service was great and helpful with wine selections. The food was wonderful. All five courses were absolutely delicious!! Wish we had come here sooner.Special Features:
- Love this place!KelliDined on 9/19/2014The food here is always outstanding and today was no exception. At lunch, they have a limited menu with a couple of daily specials. One is generally vegetarian. I am not vegetarian and tend to stay away from these options but the locally sourced green chile in the vegetarian dish pulled me in. I'm so glad I ordered it as it was simply delicious! I would not hesitate to order a vegetarian dish here in the future. Their food is always so fresh and made with local and in-season vegetables. Service is always great and the setting is simply lovely. Love it, love it, love it!Special Features:
- Funky outside, delicious inside.KimbaDined on 9/17/2014They have 3 ($36) and 5 ($42) course dinner specials with or without suggested 2 ($14) and 3 ($20) glass wine pairings, as well as soup, salad, entrees and desserts. The food is fresh, and locally produced/procured where possible. The staff is very friendly and efficient without being fussy. I OMG'd every bite and I highly recommend this gem.Special Features:
- Showing its agehappydinerDined on 9/12/2014This was my first visit to Margaraita at Pine Creek although I have lived her 16 years. I found out that the resturant has been there 40 years so I then understand the aged look of the building and landscape. Since it is pretty close to Fall now I would expect a lovelier curb appeal. Leaves & pinecones raked, dead flowers removed, maybe a pumpkin or two dotting the area etc. So much could be done to please the eye before the customer even enters the lovely building. The leisurely dining and effecient happy waitress were the best part of the experience. Would I return? Possibly.Special Features:
- WonderfulLuv2cycleDined on 9/7/2014Wonderful dining experience! The food is amazing!! We will always want to return for a great dining experience.Special Features:
- Outstanding Brunch!LizzieDined on 9/7/2014We enjoyed a Sunday brunch on the patio at Margarita. The setting was absolutely beautiful. The service was excellent. The server was prompt and friendly, and other servers kept an eye on us and assisted if needed. The food was delicious, and the presentation of the food was beautiful. Everyone in our party tried something different, and we all raved about how good our food was. I would highly recommend The Margarita at Pine Creek!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best place in Colorado SpringsAndyWVIPDined on 9/6/2014We have dined at The Margarita At Pine Creek since moving here in 2000. Never a bad meal, we use it for business dinners, family get togethers and just the two of us. Highly recommended, and select the 5 course meal - it's worth the extra few dollars.Special Features:
- Great RestaurantJimLVIPDined on 9/3/2014Our favorite restaurant in Colorado Springs both summer(on the patio) and winter(cozy with fireplaces). Food and service always outstanding and creative.Special Features:
- Time warpOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/2/2014The website for this restaurant is modern and up to date, too bad the owners & chef didn't follow suit with the menu and restaurant. A dirty and dilapidated restaurant is never a good sign of what's to come from the kitchen. For lunch it was a small offering of the same items just reinvented. More like cafeteria food than an upscale restaurant. The health inspector should make a visit.
- Great for an anniversaryOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/23/2014We celebrated our 50th here. The food was excellent we had a nice quite table and the guitar music was very pleasantSpecial Features:

- Just Like Old TimesDoriecakesDined on 8/2/2014I used to go to this place when I was a secretary at the Air Force Academy. It was an adorable place then and it has still retained its charm 30 years later. I now live in California and have become accustomed to delicious, clean food. I found The Margarita to be on an equal level as the fancier restaurants here in California. So happy the place is still around. I will visit again (every time I visit my parents who still live in the city).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The food was amazing, the complementing wines were delicious, and the service was upbeat and positive the entire time! We started off at one small table by the kitchen, but asked to move to a bit of a quieter spot with no problems. Overall amazing experience for a great price. Highly recommend!Special Features:
- JoanVIPDined on 7/15/2014Margarita at Pine Creek is always a special, quaint place to go. Tucked away and off the road, you feel a million miles away. Good food and good service and always GUS! Thanks Patty - for creating and continuing a wonderful place to go.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect For Date NightMaximillian00VIPDined on 7/11/2014My wife and I went here for date night and loved it. The menu for dinner is a fixed 3 or 5 course meal with plenty of great choices. We had two great bottles of wine that were reasonably priced and the food and service were very good. We had the 3 course meal which excludes soup and dessert, but even then we both had plenty of food left over to take home. I wouldn't bring kids, but for a date or an adult group, it is highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I would come back here again and again for the location alone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Great LezBritain: "Lip Service" Recap (Episode Five)
Cat and Frankie arrive outside Frankie's flat and as she relays words of encouragement about the possible repercussions of setting a school on fire, Sadie steps from the shadows. Cat is driven on by the taxi and Frankie looks gutted to see her go.
Sadie: Couldn't get you on the phone? Just wanted to make sure you were alright after yesterday?
Frankie: Yeah I'm fine, just a busy day.
Sadie: I didn't even make it in to work. I can barely remember anything that happened last night.
Frankie: Yeah, that's probably a good thing.
To make feel Sadie feel even more rubbish, Frankie invites her in "just for an hour" because she's having an early night. Feeling rejected and a bit of a tool for waiting around for her, Sadie says she's not going to come in. Frankie gives her a peck.
Frankie: Okay, whatever you want. [As if this decision was entirely Sadie's, not caused by Frankie being completely void of emotion towards her]
Frankie has done the unthinkable; she has de-swaggered the Artful Dodgeress. A girl that can swipe the complete works of Shakespeare from Borders without breaking a sweat has been left needy and vulnerable by the Frankinator.
Like a scene from a modern-day Calamity Jane, Cat pulls freshly baked goods from the oven, while her strapping DS walks over and kisses her. The DS admits to being turned on by their domestic ways. She tells Cat that she can smell smoke on her but Cat lies and tells her it was from the builders' onsite.
Lee: Goodness, another Frankie lie so soon?
Sarah: I feel complicit because we were there, enjoying it.

text: NBC's First Read Redefines 'Success' for Gun Control Advocates Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 20 Mar 2013 post a comment Man alive, all we've heard from NBC News and its leftist ilk since news of the tragic Sandy Hook Elementary shooting broke is, "Assault weapons! Magazine clips! Gun shows! Background checks!" But now that all of that except background checks (which is iffy) have gone down in a sea of humiliating hellfire, NBC News has decided to shamelessly move the goal posts for victory: But this is the game, folks, and it's always been the case: Background checks will define success or failure. As we said above, the assault-weapons ban never had a chance for passage[.] What happened here is that Obama and his media got their collective butts kicked in this debate. Their coordinated attempt to cynically and dishonestly win a political battle by dividing Americans on cultural grounds might have won Obama re-election, but not this one. (Have you seen Obama's latest poll numbers?) And now in a patently desperate face-saving move, NBC News and First Read have decided to hustle us by screaming, "Nevermind, America!" That's right, nevermind 18 gajillion hours of programming from a cable channel called MSNBC that relentlessly pushed gun-grabbing. Nevermind the 25 gajillion packages broadcast across all NBC platforms about those scary-looking assault weapons and magazine clips. But most of all, let's make sure to nevermind that almost everything proposed by President Obama has already gone down in a flaming ball of fail: Requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales, including those by private sellers that currently are exempt. Reinstating and strengthening the ban on assault weapons that was in place from 1994 to 2004. Limiting ammunition magazines to 10 rounds. Banning the possession of armor-piercing bullets by anyone other than members of the military and law enforcement. Increasing criminal penalties for "straw purchasers," people who pass the required background check to buy a gun on behalf of someone else It is a simple fact that the ObamaMedia's fascist gun-grab failed and that New Media and the NRA are the reason why. But when it comes to protecting Obama, facts have never mattered to the media. So now, in order to avoid having to discuss this humiliating defeat, NBC's decided to change the rules -- as though all they anyone ever wanted was background checks. This way, if background checks pass, the media can crown their Precious One a success. And if background checks fail to pass, the media will simply memory-hole the rest of the failure.

- A reliable gemSarahVIPDined on 10/25/2014My husband and I return again and again to this wonderful spot. Although we usually get talked into a daily special, on this visit we both dined on delicious pasta off the menu. I highly recommend the Buccatini. Amazing flavor!Special Features:
- love this place!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/5/2014very good food every time I've been, will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine, but nothing specialBucktownBobVIPDined on 10/3/2014VC is a fairly good Italian restaurant on the Division Street strip. There were several issues, however. We waited awhile after our reservation time to be seated, and the service was exceedingly slow. They were "out of" certain spirits required to make an advertised cocktail. The salad course was missing ingredients (which came later on a side plate). All of this would be OK but the service was so slow, it took awhile to correct these issues. The food itself was good (the "Santa Lucia" pasta dish was especially tasty), if not on the overly-salty side. I guess if you're in the mood for mid-level Italian food and you don't want to wait for a table at a better restaurant, this place would be an adequate choice. I probably won't go back.Special Features:
- Fantastic Italian FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 8/5/2014This was a great local find for us for it's so hard to find tasty authentic italian food.

They seem to use great ingredients - everything always seems so fresh.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Mistaken IdentityKevinDined on 5/2/2014We showed up to a mostly empty restaurant at 7:45 on Friday. I noticed a tv with a foreign language soccer game on, and thought "Well, it's an Italian restaurant, makes sense". As the evening went on the place started to fill up and we noticed the strange music selections (Van Morrison followed by Modest Mouse). Then all of a sudden there were many more TVs on, and the sound for a hockey game was playing through the speakers. Is this a nice Italian Restaurant, or a sports bar? The evening would have been great without the TVs, they ruined the ambiance for sure.Special Features:
- best lobster ravioliDnD1999Dined on 4/25/2014We're big fans of lobster ravioli and this was the best ever. Great carprese salad too. Good atmosphere. Will definitely be back again soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Tasty Food, Cold FeetSteveVIPDined on 2/15/2014We weren't exactly blown away by Via Carducci, but I definitely want to give them a second chance because the food was very, very good. The problem was with everything else. Specifically the enclosed outdoor "patio" that they are using for overflow seating. It's really really cold. And cramped. Yes, they have heaters out there, but my feet were frozen solid before we finished our appetizers. By the end of the meal, my wife was wearing her coat at the table. Speaking of coats, don't wear your long winter coat because there's nowhere to put it other than the back of your chair. Our waiter was competent but overly aggressive about trying to upsell us. I realize that's kind of his job, but he took it way too far. We'll try again in the summer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not so romantic Valentines dinnerHipsterHatingHipsterDined on 2/14/2014Food was okay, atmosphere wasnt romantic at all, it was very hectic. the waiter was rude and snooty (when i mispronounced an item on the menu he stopped me midway through the word and corrected me). We were inches away from the tables next to us. we could hear everyones conversation except for ours. The best part of the date was leaving the restaurant. I had to make it up to my date the next night by taking her to Balena in Lincoln park. But i mean, what else did i expect from such mediocre prices. Never again will i step foot in that restaurant, and i recommend you dont either.Special Features:
- Excellent!!AChiEatrDined on 2/14/2014Food, service, space, everything was simply excellent!! Got the lasagna and grilled calamari, both were delicious!! I'm going back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good food. I had thejeffjDined on 2/14/2014Very good food. I had the bowtie pasta which was excellent. We shared bruschetta appetizer which was outstanding. Will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not great.RbodVIPDined on 2/14/2014Previous times have been very good. This time the service was non-attentive, the entree was delayed by at least 45 minutes, and the surf and turf special was over-priced, lacked flavor and was tough. Guess I should have stuck with Italian food. Overall, quite unsatisfactory for Valentine's Day.
- Very good, sauce was excellent,groupguyDined on 1/24/2014Very good, sauce was excellent, service was spot on perfect. Only two negatives: shrimp in the pasta was not the freshest (not bad, just not the freshest) and cold air would come in when the door was opened (not an uncommon problem in this very cold winter). So, very good and I'd highly recommend.
- good but nothing specialAvisVIPDined on 12/30/2013They were out of penne pasta (?) and no risotto on the day we were there. We were the only customers in the restaurant, yet the service was basically non-existent, as the employees were busy chatting amongst themselves at the bar. My glass of wine wasn't even on the bill - we had to let them know they made a mistake (in our favor). The food was fine - nothing special. If you're in the area and want decent Italian food, it's worth a try.Special Features:
- Quaint spot in Wicker ParkANukeDined on 12/15/2013We came here door my wife's birthday, and we were very pleased. I had the Chicken Marsala and was very happy with it. Highly recommended!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Ekerö Municipality (Ekerö kommun) is a municipality in the province of Uppland in Stockholm County in east central Sweden. The name comes from the island Ekerö, and literally means "Oak Island". Its seat is located in the town of Ekerö.
Even if the City of Stockholm is the official capital of Sweden, the King of Sweden actually lives in Ekerö Municipality, at Drottningholm Palace (see below).
Ekerö is the only municipality in the Lake Mälaren region composed exclusively of islands. Land elevation has reduced the number of islands to 140, the largest of which, distinguished on the map below, are Adelsö, Munsö, Ekerö, Färingsö, and Lovö. 2000 years ago, during the Roman Iron Age, Färingsö was more of an archipelago of 20 islands.[3]
Originally, when the first local government acts were implemented in Sweden in 1863, eight rural municipalities were created, each corresponding to an old parish. The municipal reform of 1952 grouped them in two new larger entities. The next reform in 1971 merged them into the present municipality.
The municipality contains two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. One is Birka, an old Viking Age village, and the other is Drottningholm Palace and its surroundings.
Drottningholm, located on the Lovön island, was originally a Renaissance palace built by King John III for Queen Catherine Jagellon. Starting in 1661, Queen Dowager Hedvig Eleonora had the old neglected palace rebuilt into a new French Baroque palace to the design of architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder, a work later completed by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger, Carl Hårleman, and Jean Eric Rehn. Since 1984 it is the official residence of the Royal Family, but large parts of the park are accessible to the public. The palace features several uniquely preserved structures, including the Palace Theatre, inaugurated in 1766 and still delivering operas using the preserved original machinery; and the Chinese Pavilion, the Rococo design of Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz filled with Chinese luxury delivered by the Swedish East India Company.[3]
Birka on the Björkö island is the oldest urban structure in Sweden, founded in the mid 8th century. In the 9th century, Ansgar, Archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen, made two failed attempts to convert its inhabitants. The settlement was finally abandoned in the late 10th century for unknown reasons. The excavations of the approximately 1.100 graves in the area started in 1871 and have continued since. A museum was create in 1995, and in summers various boats carry large numbers of tourists to the island.[3]
Other notable historical sites[edit]
Other historical sights of interest are several runestones and other Viking remains, eight medieval churches, and old towns.
On the Adelsö Island is Hovgården, together with Birka a world heritage site, featuring barrows, thick walls, and runestones. There is also Alsnö hus, the ruins of the summer residence of Magnus Barnlock were the Ordinance of Alsnö created the foundation of Swedish nobility, and a romanesque church from the 12th century.[3]
Next to the royal palace is the residential area Drottningholmsmalmen ("Drottningholm Ridge/Esker") which draws its history back to the Torvesund manor built in 1579-80 and which served as a place of refuge for the Jesuits following the Reformation. During the 18th century, soldiers, carpenters and other craftsmen working at the royal palace settled in the area. Intentions were to develop it into a suburb to the palace like at the Versailles Palace, and this end the area was granted the status of a city to attract entrepreneurs and artists to the royal court. During the reign of King Gustav III had several building erected, including the Långa raden (the "Long Row") to accommodate the royal body guard. By 1815 78 properties existed in the area. However, it failed to develop in the direction sketched-out by the Gustav III, and instead evolved into a summer residence area inhabited by wealthy burghers, the large-scales villas in a wide range of styles have given the area its characteristics. In the middle of the 20th century several buildings by well-known Swedish architects, including Nils Tesch, Ralph Erskine, Peter Celsing and Bengt Lindroos, were added.[4]
Kanton is a group of 20 buildings next to the Chinese Pavilion built in the 1750s and 1760s intended to be a mercantile prototype settlement. 70-80 people lived there for a few decades producing luxury items for the royal court and the nobility, including some of the interior of the China Pavillin.[5] The buildings later inspired author Elsa Beskow to some of her fairy tales.[3]
Kungshatt ("King's Hat") is a rocky island south of Lovön where, according to a legend, a king Erik Väderhatt ("Eric Weather Hat"), so named because of his fortune with the winds which he could foretell with his hat, escaped his enemies by jumping from the cliff with his horse. The location for this event was furnished with a copper hat, now substituted with an iron hat.[3]
Svartsjö Palace was originally a Folkung mansion. The palace King Gustav Vasa and his sons had built here was destroyed by fire in 1687. The Rococo palace, built 1735-39 to the design of Carl Hårleman and later expanded by Queen Louisa Ulrika, was neglected for centuries before being restored. Its Baroque and English gardens are preserved.[3]
Hilleshög Church is a mostly Romanesque edifice, built in granite and brick, with some parts from the 17th and 18th centuries and later additions. Many of the paintings in the interior, dating back to the end of the 13th century and the early 15th century, were painted over in the 18th century but were restored in the 1920s and in 2002, together with some of the furniture.[6]
Ekebyhov Palace is a mansion created around 1630. Its main building is a wooden structure begun in 1674 and completed in 1704. The gardens of the palace boasts several unique plants and features a café. It is since 1980 owned by the municipality.[7]
Skytteholm was one of the mansions Johan Skytte, mentor of King Gustav II Adolphus, had built in the Lake Mälaren region. Founded in 1631, its present appearance is mostly from around 1920. It is today mostly used for conferences.[3]
In the 1950s, ancient remains were found on the island of Helgö. The excavations that followed unveiled eight groups of buildings and objects from Ireland, Egypt, and India dating back to the 8th century offering a hint of the extent of the trade of the era. The settlement is, however, believed to be considerably older and have reached its peak around 500-600 CE.[3] On Helgö is also the Kaggeholm Palace, with a history stretching back to 1370, the palace was built in the 1720s.[8]
The Barrow of Björn Ironside on Munsö Island is part of the Iron Age grave field Munsö-Husby. On Munsö is also Munsö Church, one of three round churches in the Stockholm area. Probably built in 1187, it contains several medieval wooden sculptures.[3]
There are several outdoor activities that can be enjoyed, such as fishing and bicycling, as the nature is always nearby. Each of the islands also offers distinctive experiences and sights.
Public transport[edit]
Ekerö is served by the Stockholm public transport system. All bus routes have connection with the Stockholm metro at Brommaplan.
The county road 261 offers connection to motorists from Brommaplan and other western suburbs of Stockholm. There is only one bridge connecting the municipality with the mainland, but there is also a car ferry taking motorists to Botkyrka Municipality south-west of Stockholm.

TUCK! sez: Sawx smash!
Next: THT Awards »

Tom B said...
I don't get it.
They went 2-10, not 2-7.
Then they went 7-1 (Toronto, Oakland, LA… color me unimpressed…)
Then they went 2-4 over the next week against Baltimore and Seattle?
So… your now box should say "RAWR SOX MEDIOCRE" at best…
TUCK! said...
@Tom: Apparently when they were winning, they were "angry." Guess they should've been, what, madder, against Seattle.
Tom B said...
My how the memory fades so quickly.
The RedSox won both of those games off of the bullpen, not the starters.
6k's 1 walk from Weaver, 10k's 1 walk from Felix, I'm sure they were terribly distraught with their performance.
diskojoe said...
The Sox were plenty mad @ King Felix, as well as Jered Weaver & Harden.

State Laws
Several states have laws that require nationwide credit reporting agencies to give residents free copies of their credit reports. These are in addition to the free annual reports made available through AnnualCreditReport.com.
Number of free reports: If you live in Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey or Vermont, you are entitled to one free report per year under state law. Georgia and Puerto Rico residents get three free copies per year.
How to request your report: See the ordering instructions section of this article.
Lost your job? You are entitled to a free copy of your report if you are unemployed and certify to the credit reporting agency that you intend to apply for employment within 60 days.
Number of free reports: One from each major credit reporting agency.
How to request your reports: See the ordering instructions below.
Ordering Instructions
Online: Visit www.equifax.com/fcra
By Phone: 800-685-1111
Write to:
Equifax Information Services
P.O. Box 740241
Atlanta, GA 30374
When requesting a credit report by mail, Equifax indicates that you should include your full name, current address, Social Security Number, and most recent former address so it can match your file. State the reason you are requesting your free copy of your report as well.
Tip: Equifax's online ordering system, while convenient, requires you to agree to mandatory arbitration to settle any disputes that arise. For that reason, I recommend you order your report by mail.
Online: www.Experian.com/freestate
You can request your free report due to fraud, or under state law, at this website. Other requests must be made by mail. The online system identifies whether you are eligible for a free report under state law.
By Phone: 866-200-6020
You can order a copy of your free report due to fraud or under state law using the telephone system. If you are ordering a free copy of your state-mandated free report by phone, Experian's automated telephone request systems automatically recognizes your location by the area code from which you are calling. (If you are calling from a cell phone with an out-of-state area code, call from a different phone.)
By Mail:
PO Box 2002
Allen, TX 75013
State why you are requesting your free report and include first name, middle initial, last name; current address and previous addresses for last 2 years with zip codes; date of birth; Social Security number; one copy of a government-issued ID card (driver's license, military ID, etc.); one legible copy of a recent utility bill, bank or insurance statement with your current address.
Online: A request form to print, fill out and mail is available here
By Phone: 800-888-4213
Include the form you download online. In addition, TransUnion requests that you include the following information to expedite your request: proof of address, e.g, utility bill; copy of adverse action letter if you received one; copy of police report in the event of fraud.
Tip: The phone system can be confusing. There are multiple prompts to purchase a credit score or credit monitoring service. In addition, there is no indication whether the free report requested through this number counts toward the report available through AnnualCreditReport.com. For that reason, I recommend you print the order form online, and request your copy by mail.

Weve heard plenty about bars being shot down by the community when they try to open, but what about when theyre trying to close? Lindsey Caldwell sent us a desperate e-mail on behalf of her husband Myles Tipley, a co-owner of the artsy Williamsburg hip-hop bar Triple Crown, saying that the community board refuses to allow [the owners] to sell the place. The bar has been closed for eight months (with events here and there) after the burden of addressing noise complaints proved too much. But in the meantime, rent and bills have cost the owners $135,000, plus an average of about $7,000 per week in lost revenue, Caldwell says.
According to Caldwell, a months-old plan to sell the bar to potential buyer Mike Jaramillo, owner of the Maxim gym, fell through when neighbors wearing No Triple Crown T-shirts presented a petition protesting the sale. Jaramillo rescinded his offer in the middle of a community board meeting. Last Wednesday the CB refused to approve a sale to Jeff Webber, a bartender at Balthazar who has been under contract for the past eight months to buy the bar and turn it into what Caldwell says would be a lounge/wine bar/cafe. WAY more chill and quiet. The neighbors are apparently suspicious of guilt by association, and the CB says it will approve the transfer only with certain provisions to be outlined later (and that Caldwell suspects will be unreasonable). This is a personal vendetta against us, insists Caldwell. Which makes us wonder how the neighbors feel about the bar down the block that lets people smoke and stays open after-hours?

Today once again I changed up the strength training workout using new machines and some different exercises. It is amazing how much more interesting it is to try new things, and how much more you feel it. I've really been trying to work on those stubborn triceps and keep trying new things and adding more exercises for them. I don't really see much of the flabbiness going, but I know I'm working them pretty hard, so hopefully I'll get some return on that effort.
I always feel so much better after the gym, I am so glad I've been so dedicated to my work-outs, because it gives me such a better body image.
So, here's to one more gym day this week(Friday)and of course the dreaded cardio tomorrow!
I realize I keep posting about my exercise and fail to talk of anything else. So in an effort to put my feelings and state of mind into words I must say, that my fear of waning determination or focus has not yet come to fruition. I'm very pleased with my continued committment to healthy living. My eating has been better this week than at anytime before, and of course I never skip on my exercise. I havn't felt the need to take any "days off" from anything I've been doing. Which to me seems like a good sign that I have totally adopted healthy habits. I don't know how the weight thing is going to play out from here, maybe I'll have weeks where I don't lose, but I do know that I'm really living the right way now, and it's habit, more than work to do so.
Today I really didn't feel much like exercising, but I knew once I got moving I would keep moving. Although I procrastinated by sleeping in and not eating breakfast until 10 am, and doing some laundry, and sweeping the kitchen floor, I got out about 11 and walked for 1 hour 3 minutes. It wasn't my quickest time, but I did 4.5 miles, running for the first 30 minutes and walking/running the rest. It always feels so great to get it done, and I love how my skin is tingling afterwards. It really is a great thing and I can't believe I spent so much of my life avoiding doing it! So, I've had a really good couple of days with food so far this week. In fact, I found that I was under my calories once dinner was done, last night. So, I had some dry cereal and a piece of fruit to make up for it. I also saw a segment on TV about peri-menopause this morning that listed as a symptom, an increased appetite for 2 weeks before you get your period. That explains what has been going on with me! Here I thought it was something I was doing wrong, but now at least I'll know what is happening and why and hopefully do a better job dealing with it!
So here we are into another week(week 55 for me)and it's a pretty good feeling to have sustained my healthy habits for that amount of time. I have come to admit that in the beginning I was not eating enough calories - probably for 6 or 7 months. I never did have a week where I didn't lose, but I think I was very lucky to not hit a plateau.
Yesterday was just aweful. I still feel sad over seeing my daughter's ex-fiance. Saying good-bye to him was one of the worst things I ever had to do. He was a part of our lives, family, and hearts for over 3 years now, watching him drive up the road and be gone forever just haunts me. But, this morning I got up and went to the gym and got a very good(not great)workout in and I'm feeling somewhat better. The weather here is still dismal, though not cold, but, that's life. In regard to the horrible things most people face this is so very insignificant, I just hope he finds happiness in his life.
So, now as to my weekly weigh-in: I'm down another pound=total of 123.9 lost. I'm 30.1 away from my goal weight now. I am gettting a little impatient, and I don't like having moved from Stage 3 to 4. I'm not in maintinance mode yet, I still have a long way to go. I'm seriously thinking of going back a stage until I reach goal. I think that's what I'm going to do.
Well today is one of those days...and even the weather is dull and unpleasant. First of all the Eagles lost yesterday, no, let's say they gave up(or at least the coach did), we in Eagle-land can take losing, it's not giving it your best shot that feels so bad. Add to that the effect of my TOM, the weather and the fact that I'm going to see my daughter's ex-fiance today, for the fist time since they broke up in October, oh, and my other daughter's college softball coach was forced to resign only weeks before the season begins, and, my kids are going back to college!!! ARGHHH! But, I will find something positive to grab onto and make my focus....
and another week's worth of gym work-outs completed! That's 23 weeks now, and I'm really seeing a difference in a lot of places. There is still too much jiggle in places, but I am getting some awesome muscles now. I had a very good week by trying an alternative work-out using only dumbbells and the exercise ball. It's mind-boggling how intense of a workout you can get like that. For instance, I've been doing abductor/adductor machines and had the weight up to 120 pounds, but simple moves like wide-leg squats with 10lb dumbells really gets the inner thigh burning, while leg swings worked the heck out of my hip flexors and outer thigh. So, my new goal is to try and use different equipment every couple of weeks to freshen and change my program. It really makes a difference, and hopefully that coupled with my cardio sessions being 50-60 minutes this week, will move that scale in a downward direction.

A Wichita man who was nearly electrocuted by a Westar Energy power line is now suing the company for negligence. Don Hollimon was shocked with thousands of volts of electricity on July 5, 2011, in the 2400 block of South Hydraulic.
Hollimon was working for Micor Communications, a subcontractor for Cox Communications. A civil lawsuit filed in Sedgwick County District Court last week says Hollimon had climbed the Westar pole to service the Cox line that was also there.
"The pole and power lines had foliage on them," the complaint reads. "Subsequently, when plaintiff reached the area of the pole to begin his work, electricity from defendant Westar's transmission line went through the foliage and plaintiff was shocked and knocked unconscious."
The lawsuit claims Westar was negligent in several ways, including by failing to inspect their transmission lines regularly, failing to cause removal of foliage from their lines, allowing a dangerous situation to exist on their electric poles, and failing to warn plaintiff and others with access to the pole of the dangerous situation.
Hollimon claims he has suffered damages in the form of pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of time, loss of enjoyment of life, medical expenses, economic loss, permanent disfigurement and permanent disability. He is seeking monetary damages in excess of $75,000.
A civil discovery hearing is scheduled for Aug. 30 in Sedgwick County District Court.

- Studio: Magnet Releasing
- Release Date: Oct 4, 2013
- Starring: Gillian Jacobs, Ken Marino, Mary Kay Place, Patrick Warburton, Peter Stormare, Stephen Root
- Summary: Duncan's life is a real pain in the ass. Tormented by a manipulative, crooked boss, a nagging mother, a deadbeat new age dad, and a sweet, yet pressuring, wife, his mounting stress starts to trigger an insufferable gastrointestinal reaction. Out of ideas and at the end of his rope, Duncan seeks the help of a hypnotherapist, who helps him discover the root of his unusual stomach pain: a pintsized demon living in his intestine that, triggered by excessive anxiety, forces its way out and slaughters the people who have angered him. Out of fear that his intestinal gremlin may target its wrath on the wrong person, Duncan attempts to befriend it, naming it Milo and indulging it to keep its seemingly insatiable appetite at bay.

Call it odious, call it repugnant, call it downright nasty – just don't call it dumb.
Rarely goes so far over the top that it loses you completely. It is, to put it mildly, not subtle. But if you watch it expecting to see a dumb idea executed with appreciable skill, you'll have a blast.
Bad Milo! gets nasty laughs out of putting its overmatched hero through a gauntlet of comic humiliations, but it works just as well as a dark allegory about the way we handle our demons.
Props to Bad Milo for its fearlessly pulp approach in exploring well-worn characters and their ho-hum dilemmas, but you know you've got a dull story on your hands when not even a butt monster can jazz it up enough.
What could have been a very funny short film about self-control and befriending your id instead becomes a rambling commentary on father-son dysfunction and the limits of proctology.
Score distribution:
Positive: 3 out of 4
Mixed: 0 out of 4
Negative: 1 out of 4
Oct 8, 2013Hilarious concept, and Ken Marino is the only person I can imagine playing this part. He's seriously one of the most underrated comedic actors out there. Some of the execution is lacking, but the scenes in which Milo needs to "crawl home", and Marino's reaction to it, are priceless. It's experimental absurdist humor, it doesn't overstay it's welcome, and, as such, I'd recommend it.… Expand
Mar 3, 2014Bad Milo! is just that BAD! The movie is poorly executed, badly directed, its suppose to be funny. But I didn't laugh. It was also a bore for me. Avoid this movie!… Expand

NASHVILLE -- U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais, R-Tenn., has gotten a boost in his reelection bid in the form of an endorsement from the powerful National Rifle Association's political arm.
"On behalf of our five million members across the country, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund is proud to endorse your candidacy," wrote James J. Baker, the group's director of federal affairs in a July 14 letter.
The NRA-PVF gave DesJarlais an "A" rating.
Baker told the South Pittsburg physician in the letter that "throughout your career you have consistently opposed all attempts to ban lawfully-owned firearms and magazines, and have stood strong against President Obama and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloombberg's gun control agenda."
DesJarlais faces state Sen. Jim Tracy, R-Shelbyville, along with several other candidates in the largely rural 4th Congressional District's Aug. 7 GOP primary. Early voting has already started and continues through Saturday.

"On your hands and knees baby!" he growled.
Emma eagerly took position. She let out soft growls of pleasure, as she felt the velcro cuffs close around her wrists, and her arms stretch

I had sex with my cousin again a few days ago. I was laying in bed with my cousin and she fell asleep. I was so horny I slid my hand up her shorts and panties and started fingering her pussy while I jerked off. I couldn't handle it anymore knowing she didn't mind if I fucked her in her sleep.
