I stayed here for two weeks and changed rooms. After changing rooms I broke out in what I thought wAs a rash that itched like crazy!!! I then found a bed bug crawling up my leg. I tried everything to get rid of the itching but nothing helps! I notified the front desk and they were not concerned and denied the fact that they do not have bed bugs! The lack of housekeeping, once a week, might contribute to the problem! 5/14/14

On The morning of June 25th 2011, my husband woke up to find a live bed bug in his bed. He brought it down to the front desk, and verified that it was a bed bug.

About this title: The Eagles recorded their albums relatively quickly in their first years of existence, their LPs succeeding each other by less than a year. One of These Nights, their fourth album, was released in June 1975, more than 14 months after its predecessor. Anticipation had been heightened by the belated chart-topping success of the third album's "The Best of My Love"; taking a little more time, the band generated more original material, and that material was more polished. More than ever, the Eagles seemed to be a vehicle for Don ...

Champions of England and Champions of the world. It wasn't a bad season.
Not that it began particularly well, mind you. The Reds won just two of the first seven fixtures (both against Portsmouth) and lost the European Super Cup to Zenit St Petersburg in Monaco. At the end of September, the Reds, incredibly, occupied 15th spot. But once Sir Alex's men clicked into gear (and club-record signing Dimitar Berbatov settled in), United's matches soon made for must-see viewing.
Between late September and Christmas, the Reds lost just one league game (away at Arsenal) and had inched closer to the top of the tree. By the time United flew to Japan to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup over Christmas, the Reds were fourth in the league, behind Aston Villa, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Then, as Sir Alex's men so often do, United turned on the style. After returning from the Far East as world champions, the side won 11 league games on the trot. Central to the title charge was Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, who ended up with 30 league goals between them.
Edwin van der Sar and the Reds defence played their part, too. Indeed, the Dutchman set a new English, British and European record for the most minutes - 1,113 - without conceding in the top-flight. The goalkeeper wasn't beaten between 8 November and 4 March.
United's imperious form meant Sir Alex's men had gone from being six points behind Liverpool in mid-December to seven points clear of the Merseysiders when they arrived at Old Trafford on 14 March. A home win would almost certainly seal a record-equalling 18th league title and put the Reds on the brink of English footballing history.
But United don't do things the easy way. On a freak afternoon many fans won't want reminding of, Liverpool won 4-1. Then United lost away at Fulham and, suddenly, there was only one point in it.
When Aston Villa went 2-1 up at Old Trafford the following weekend, it looked like Sir Alex's men had crumbled. But Ronaldo dragged the Reds back into the game and then 17-year-old Italian Federico Macheda scored a fairytale injury-time winner on his debut to seal victory and kickstart a final push towards an 18th league title.
The run-in featured a classic come-from-behind victory over Tottenham (2-0 down at half-time, 5-2 up at full-time) and an impressive Manchester derby win before the Reds wrapped up a third consecutive league title with a 0-0 draw against Arsenal at Old Trafford, on the penultimate day of the season. United were Champions again.
Points tally: 90
Nearest challenger: Liverpool (86 points)
Most appearances: Nemanja Vidic (34)
Top scorer: Cristiano Ronaldo (18)
Player of the Season: Cristiano Ronaldo
In his last season as a Red, Ronaldo hogged the headlines. United's top scorer and chief creative outlet, he injected flair and finesse to almost everything he did.

Brows That Mean Business
A good pair of brows can transform your face. Use Hollywood's most coveted arches as your guide, grab some powder and a pencil, and you'll quickly be saying "Wow!" to yourself in the mirror.
By Marissa Oliva
Eva Mendez
Eva's perfectly-sculpted arches frame her face and make her eyes pop. For a similar look, use a brow powder then a pencil to fill in sparse areas and create extra fullness, says Soare. Apply the brow pencil using thin dashes to add weight and definition.

Love arcade scrolling beat-em-up classic Double Dragon from ye olde days of late 80′s arcade gaming? Course you did! It was blooming fantastic.

Which is exactly why The Stunt People now bring you: a fan film of Double Dragon, one of the best beat em ups ever made. Many nods to Streets of Rage too.

Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 11/4/14
It's early yet to start predicting the effectiveness of any NFL team's offense or defense, since we're primarily seeing names on the backs of Raiders jerseys we might never hear of again. However, if Monday night's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys is any indication, fans of the silver and black may be able to cheer on a defense that hearkens back to a more glorious era. The Raiders' defense last season was abysmal, ranking 29th in the league. This year they didn't fare much better with the critics, garnering the 28th spot out of 32 teams. So it doesn't get much worse in terms of grade. But before anyone panics over visions of another 8-8 season, let's remember that the Raiders had a defense ranked 11th in 2010 that starred some of the same veterans that appear on this year's squad. Additionally, Monday's game, a difficult to watch 3-0 loss, showed some flashes of brilliance from the much maligned Raiders D. The Raiders managed ...

More bang for Buck on "United States of Tara"
Happily, Showtime has released an extended trailer and behind-the-scenes video for Season 2 of United States of Tara.
The trailer reveals more about the relationship between Joey Lauren Adams' character Pammy and Tara's alter Buck.
As producer Diablo Cody explains:
Buck actually has a full-on romantic love affair with another person, which begs all kinds of questions about 'What is cheating?' How much autonomy are these alters allowed to have?"
The affair also presents some interesting questions about gender identity, since Tara herself (Toni Collette) identifies as female but Buck is male. Here's the trailer:
At the TCA press tour recently, Cody told critics that the season brings a different approach to Tara's personality changes:
One thing that was liberating about going into Season two — if you watch the first season, you know that every time Tara transitioned, that she would have to don a new costume to signify to our audience that this is an alter. Now that we've established those personalities with our viewers, we were able to present the alters in a more realistic manner.
We're also going to see at least one new alter this year: Shoshanna, who serves as "mentor of sorts" to the family, according to Cody.
The cast and Cody talked about Season 2 in this slightly spoilerish behind-the-scenes video.
While I wish we didn't have to see Marshall "explore" his sexuality, I'm trusting that Cody will give us something other than the conventional storyline. And after seeing these videos, I'm pretty excited about what's ahead for United States of Tara. The season starts Monday March 22, right after Nurse Jackie.
Are you looking forward to a new season of Tara?

Cat Fight: Lockheed Martin Upset Over SpaceX's Air Force Contract

Elon Musk
(Source: wired.com)
Lockheed said SpaceX is inexperienced and is cutting corners by cutting costs
SpaceX is the underdog that proved a private company can rise to the occasion and
send a rocket into space
, but can it step up and transform the Air Force as well?
Lockheed Martin and Boeing have had a strong hold on the Air Force's launch missions for the last six years. But last month, the Defense Department instructed the Air Force to find a new contractor to break the launch monopoly in an attempt to cut costs. In early December, it was announced that SpaceX was selected for trial missions.
SpaceX scored a $900 million contract with the Air Force for two launch missions in 2014 and 2015. The trial missions will test to see if SpaceX can successfully carry military and spy satellites.
As expected, Lockheed Martin and Boeing, which are partnered in a venture called the United Launch Alliance (ULA), are not too happy about it. They took a few jabs at SpaceX's inexperience in both space launches and in the military.
"I'm hugely pleased with 66 [successful missions] in a row from ULA, and I don't know the record of SpaceX yet," said Robert Stevens, chairman and chief executive at Lockheed Martin. "Two in a row?"
Lockheed Martin also took a stab at the Department of Defense's search for cheaper alternatives to ULA, saying that cutting corners will have poor results.
"Cost doesn't matter at all if you don't put the ball into orbit,'' said Stevens. "You can thrift on cost. You can take cost out of a rocket. But I will guarantee you, in my experience, when you start pulling a lot of costs out of a rocket, your quality and your probability of success in delivering a payload to orbit diminishes.''
SpaceX Elon Musk fired back, saying that "All of SpaceX's Falcon 9 missions have reached orbit and completed all primary mission objectives." As far as costs go, Musk said that SpaceX's equipment is cheaper because it contains better technology.
"The fundamental reason SpaceX's rockets are lower cost and more powerful is that our technology is significantly more advanced than that of the Lockheed-Boeing rockets, which were designed last century," said Musk.
The ULA's Delta 4 and Atlas 5 rockets cost about $464 million per launch, more than double a previous estimate of $230 million.
SpaceX stepped in with its Dragon capsule and Falcon 9 rocket
as a means to send supplies
(and eventually astronauts) to the International Space Station (ISS) after NASA retired its space shuttle fleet in 2011. This left American astronauts with no way to the ISS except aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket, but these seats became very costly.
SpaceX launched its Dragon capsule and Falcon 9 rocket to the ISS
for the first time back in May
for a test supply run. After that successful trip, SpaceX and NASA signed a $1.6 billion contract that allows SpaceX to complete 12 supply trips to the ISS and back.
On October 7, SpaceX made its first official supply run as part of that contract. It
arrived October 10
, making the trip a success.
Dragon is due to make its second run in January 2013. SpaceX is also looking to send the first manned Dragon capsule to the ISS somewhere between 2015 and 2017.
SpaceX is also making huge strides in the use of reusable rockets with its new
Grasshopper Project
The Grasshopper Project is a Falcon first stage with a landing gear that's capable of taking off and landing vertically.

RE: costs
I agree Dragon is cool and has lots of great ideas and potential, it'll be interesting to see how the various systems do as they are tested and refined. I am always a little worried for these and other up and comming companies that space flight is rather unforgiving and that it took NASA a lot of painfull experiece to learn how to do it, I'd hate to see this new rush of optimism and growth in the industry crushed by some small mistake/oversight. But for now it is nice to see what can be done when a company/group has a clear goal, vision, and the money to execute it. It is even more refressing to see a solid business plan.
As to Orion, we'll see I don't get the hate for it by so many here. But whatever I just hope we get to use it for something inspiring I'd love to take my son to see the launch.
Now if someone could make a next gen spacesuit that uses mechanical/elastic force to maintain pressure rather than the fancy air bags we make now... but anyway I digress.
RE: costs
I think the Orion situation is not so much a hate thing as a reaction to some of the critical comments about Dragon and other commercial companies. Quite often the criticisms leveled against the private ventures are equally or even more so applicable to Orion (running behind, more expensive, hasn't flown yet, etc).
It doesn't make it a bad spacecraft. Heck, in my opinion it was the one and only thing that should have survived the expiration of Constellation. I was thrilled when everything else was circular filed and Orion was kept.
The SLS issue is the same, though slightly lesser magnitude, as Ares. It's bigger than it needs to be for its intended mission (see Augustine, et al), it costs more than it should, and it will take forever and a day to build. That's not Orion's fault. If Orion had a functional launcher it could fly in relatively short order.
That said, I want SLS to succeed because I do see a benefit to an wholly-owned NASA rocket with eyes firmly toward BEO. But I think it could have been done in a better fashion than the 'everything for everyone' approach it was built under that caused so many problems with STS. In short I fully believe SLS is the rocket congress wants, not necessarily the one NASA wants for the job.
But, back to the point, Orion hasn't flown yet and won't before manned Dragon. And it is being built by Lockheed which has built exactly as many manned space vehicles as SpaceX (read 0). It is more expensive and it is over initial time estimates. And so naturally when someone starts on a litany of all the risks and problems with Falcon/Dragon, the first reaction of those who support it is to point out the exact same flaws in SLS/Orion. But I think they should both be built. I just think the debate needs to fairly note the benefits and flaws of both systems instead of pointing out one system's flaws in a vacuum.
"Well, there may be a reason why they call them 'Mac' trucks! Windows machines will not be trucks." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

Otto Olive oil gelato
- VAfoodie Jun 27, 2008 11:45 AM
This is a spin off of another post. I've got to have some of that Otto OO gelato, but it seems the cart is not up this summer, and there's debate about whether or not you can get a pint to go from Otto. I'm not keen on sitting down for a meal at Otto, but was wondering if my dh could drink vino at the bar while I eat gelato? Is that a plan?
i've sat at the bar and had the olive oil gelato with a friend a couple of yrs ago. it should not be a problem. i think people do it all the time.
You can totally order olive oil gelato at the bar. Make sure you get the dish that has the fruit component and the sea salt. I think it's the "coppetta" but I would ask the bartender to make sure.
Note that the Otto gelato cart did NOT offer the olive oil gelato any of the times I tried last summer. Some excuse about "temperature" controls. The cart also took all of August off! (Makes me wonder what the point is then...)
re: kathryn
in fact, if you dine at the bar, the olive oil gelato will be pushed on you anyway! (this is good, of course.)
Yes, you can get gelato to go (small or large container). And you don't have to have it at the bar.
re: tpigeon
They also do delivery on pints of gelato...we always make sure to keep at least two flavours in the freezer ^_^
re: bearzie
Do they have a balsamic vinegar sorbet to go with it? That would be perfect!
re: Big Bad Voodoo Lou
When I ate in there a few months ago, I had it with the tangerine and blood orange sorbets; the trio was delicious. I think it came with candied kumquats and candied fennel.
Your post inspired me to stop into Otto today for some of their gelato. I sat at the bar and ordered the Olive Oil Copetta, which came with some strawberries (instead of kumquats) and what tasted like some sort of citrus-flavored granita. I saw little pools of olive oil in my dessert as well. I loved the gelato with the strawberries, but I don't know that I'm a big fan of the sea salt that was sprinkled on top. My tongue was thoroughly confused by the tart granita, the sea salt, and the gelato all at once. I thought they should have omitted either the salt or the granita. Both together in one bite was confusing. Am I crazy?? Is this blasphemy?

2003 Ford Taurus
transmission Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: Most people need a car that shifts gears & coil springs that don't shred tires. The Taurus fails in that respect.
The 2003 Ford Taurus has major issues with the transmission failing. Typically the 2003 Taurus transmission failure costs $2,000 to fix by about 90k-100k miles. Not good.
Adding insult to injury, the 1999-2003 Taurus also has a huge problem with coil springs breaking which can puncture or even shred tires while driving.
The US government spent THREE YEARS (2008-2011) investigating the 2002-2003 Taurus coil springs. Although Taurus/Sable from earlier years were recalled, ultimately the NHTSA did not force a recall. They determined that because there had been no deaths & very few bad crashes & injuries, the broken coil springs defect was no big deal & not a safety defect. Tell that to all the owners who had close calls...

Dining in Key West
Will be coming down to Key West in a couple of weeks to do some diving. What are the best places to eat...or drink. Thanks for all your help.
re: katidyd
Dinner!!! No dress code. But I wouldn't go in shorts and flip flops.
Save it for a special night during the trip. Save room for dessert!
re: Tippi
This was a great find. I had totally forgotten about this little restaurant on a quiet street in KW.
My friend and i shared a meal of stone crabs and the 24 oz porterhouse that was cooked to perfection.
Much, much, much better than Louis Backyard.
If you're in the mood for prime aged beef, Michaels is the place.
If your looking for a romantic spot, not filled with tourists, but more of locals, this is the place.
highly recommended.
perfect way to enjoy the island.

re: DiFlorida
Wow - thanks so much. This should really help answer the question of where to eat. Great variety and I'm sure we'll enjoy them all.
Thanks again for your help.
re: DiFlorida
That is a good selection (well picked), but I would personally add La Trattoria on Duval Street. I haven't tried Alonzo's Oyster Bar. We used to go upstairs to A&B Lobster House, but I've stopped going since they changed owners. I took the wife and a couple (friends of ours) right after the ownership changed. I spent $250 on dinner and the quality was terrible. The lobster bisque was awful. We complained about that (very politely) and were basically told "Oh well".
There are a lot of expensive, inferior restaurants in Key Weird so I would definitly advise listening to peoples suggestions of places they have been or frequent. It has become way too touristy since I started going there (over 20 years ago). I still love it down there, and I would move down to the Lower Keys (Big Pine through Sugarloaf being my favorite area) if I could convince the wife to do it. I wouldn't want to live in Key West (or any further down than MM10), but I do love the Lower Keys.
re: kempshark
The Chef stayed on well past the ownership change at A&B and his recipes didn't change. When he did finally leave he left his recipes. Give them another try. Maybe it was just an off night but they place wins local awards and local cooking contest throughout the year. The bisque is the exact same recipe.
We stumbled onto this place last night after visiting with a friend on Catherine Street.
Not only was it reasonably priced, a mom and pop joint, food made fresh to order, and very nice wait staff.
I had the skirt steak and my friend ordered the frita vaca.
Our food was delicious!
And it was nice that it wasn't as overpriced as the rest of the restaurants on the island.
i counted 5 tables inside and lots of places to tie your bike up outside.
we sat at the counter because the place was filled with people.. all locals.
i will definitely come back here the next time i come back to KW.
highly recommended!
re: Shirley U. Jest
Shirley, which place are you referring to? I didn't catch the name of the restaurant in your post. I'm always looking for places down there with good quality food.
I just got back from four nights in Key West, and I think I'm more disappointed in the quality of the food down there each time I go. I used to look forward to eating out in KW, but anymore the vast majority of the restaurants are overpriced and low on quality. That always seems to happen when a place gets majorly touristy as KW has gotten in the last 30 years. A lot of the places seem to worry less about return customers and more worried about immediate profit margin.
I still love the Lower Keys and visiting Key West, but I'm more likely to cook a lot more of my own food (especially fish I've caught) then I am to go out to eat anymore. I'm not a real old-timer when it comes to the Keys, but I have been visiting regularly (4-6 times a year) for the past 20 years.
re: kempshark
I'm pretty sure she's talking about El Siboney.
re: carolinadawg
It does sounds like it from the description of the food, but El Siboney has a lot more than 5 tables inside... maybe if you didn't realize there was a large dining room in the back, you might think it only had 5 tables.
El Siboney!!! Their Skirt steak is delicious. It may be Cuban but its not all beans and rice !! No view. Residential location. just excellent food....and very reasonable compared to anything else in Key West.
900 Catherine St, Key West, FL 33040
We like Salute on the beach, near the Casa Marina, great Italian food, also seafood. For breakfast or lunch, Alan Merrill's outdoor Cafe at The Inn, out on the boulevard ... they have misty fans, and a big canopy. Definitely Banana Cafe (authentic French-locally owned) for breakfast/lunch/dinner, on Upper Duval ... wonderful food and a better buy than most for breakfast. Great authentic Thai food at the Garrison Bight Floating Thai restaurant, in a funky setting, on a houseboat, at a dock, you walk up to it, sitting on the water. There are at least 2 other good Thai rest., too, one across the Bight ... the other on Greene Street, in Old Town. For a more reasonably-priced Italian rest., try Mangia Mangia, indoors or out, on Southard, Old Town.
900 Southard St, Key West, FL 33040
re: katiet
Personally, I was thoroughly disappointed in all three of those Thai restaurants. The floating restaurant concept was cool, but the food was not of a very high quality. We found it overseasoned and fairly expensive even by KW standards (for what you got).
We were also disappointed with the food quality at the one on Greene Street. Again, the location was awesome, but the food (especially the sushi) was definitely subpar.
As for Thai Island (the other one at Garrison Bight) the was the first Thai restaurant where I actually found the food disgusting. We took the whole family there (8 people), paid a very large tab, and left most of our food there to search for another meal! We ended up going for sushi and enjoying that meal.
I might be a little more demanding when it comes to southeast asian food, since my wife if from Laos and we eat Lao/Thai food and Vietnamese food on a weekly basis. Then again, there are many places in our area (Tampa Bay) that we go eat (and enjoy) these foods on a regular basis. I've been trying to get the wife to move down to the Keys (with me along of course) and open a Southeast Asian restaurant (mostly a mixture of Thai and Vietnamese food) for a while now. It is a type of food that is sorely lacking down there.
re: kempshark
Num Thai on Key Largo is pretty autentico. My wife is not South Asian, but we found it to be on par with many of the good Thai spots in New York City. I will take your word on Key West. Miami is a desert for good Thai spots, although there is some good fusion and I know the real thing is happening in Broward.
Spent a long wild weekend in Key West for our 1st Fantasy Fest and had some very good dining at surprisingly empty restaurants. I had made some reservations months ago worried about the crowd but soon learned that most people are dining at the food vendors on Duval or attending parties instead of going to restaurants.
Upon leaving the Key West Express we headed to Turtle Kraal for oysters and a refreshing ceviche. Our 1st dinner was at Hot Tin Roof, which is a long time favorite and it didn't disappoint. Rather than a formal dinner we grazed on the more interesting small plates, like the pork chicharonnes and onion mojo an absolute killer. The scallop with bean grits and every other plate was a winner. Service and wine were polished.
Next day, lunch was a simple meal of a heaping platter of royal red shrimp at Conch Republic. They are the only place in town serving them and aren't listed on the menu. You need to ask. They are hard to catch as the shrimp are in very deep water but have an incredible lobster like taste. Well worth the premium price. Happy hour was at 2cents, a gastropub. Marinated castelvetrono olives were good, but the Quack Quack Nachos were the best we've ever had. Made with duck confit, black beans, cheddar, sour cream and salsa served over very thin chips. There were other exciting things listed on the menu and we were going to return for lunch our last day on Sunday, but they only offered Sunday brunch with breakfast items. Drats! Dinner was Onlywood, with a beautiful woodfired oven in the front of the restaurant. We split the wonderful Estiva salad with baby arugula, hearts of palm (fresh, not canned), tomatoes, avocado and shaved parmesan cheese. This was followed by an authentic Neapolitan type thin crust pizza, with a bit of a charred crust like you see back in their homeland. This is real Italian, not American Italian!
Back to Conch Republic for 3rd day lunch and more royal reds and a beautifully fried plate of cracked conch. Most places serve the ubiquitous conch fritters which tend to have more bread than conch. This is the first time I've had big pieces of conch lightly breaded and fried. Many restaurants were closed on Saturday because of the Fantasy Fest parade so we ended up at Inca's. We are spoiled because of Inca's Kitchen in Naples but this newly opened Inca did a very good version of ceviche and an excellent Lomo Saltado.
On our last day we decided to forgo the B&B breakfast and headed to our favorite bakery, Croissant de France on Duval. Santiago's Bodega, for lunch, was a very good spring mix salad with duck confit, dried cranberries, walnuts, red onions, and citrus ginger vinaigrette, shrimp and chorizo skewers, and great ½ rack of lamb encrusted with Dijon mustard, pecans, and thyme. Before boarding the boat back home we hit the Turtle Kraal again. We disliked the pork belly sliders and the chorizo and goat cheese empanadas which were both cloyingly sweet. We had tried their wood grilled wings on a previous trip and found they had a funky taste. Not sure we will back--may try the ½ Shell next door.
re: RevrendAndy
Thanks for the pointer on the royal red shrimp at Conch Republic......had a bad dinner there years ago and haven't really eaten there since. Will have to give them another try, and will definitely call ahead to see if they have the royal reds. Will also try 2cents.....have been wanting to try there and Grunts, but we just never seem to make it there. Will be down again shortly though and hope to remedy that!! :)

That's the only reason why I ever ate there and would go back... that and the stone crabs but that's because I'm in the Midwest.
re: jmdhsmiami
I'm also interested in input. I have a reservation at 7 Fish and one at Cafe Marquesa (I'm staying there so it just seemed easy and seemed to get fairly good reviews). I'm thinking My Blue Heaven for my last day. Do I need a reservation for this place? Dining alone if that makes a difference (I'm happy to sit at the bar if there is one). Does anyone have any strong objections to the Cafe Marquesa meal? Thanks in advance for advice/info.
re: LulusMom
What did you think of cafe marquesa?
re: herbert1
Hmmm. The people are really nice, they have a great wine menu. The food ... eh. I feel like maybe they feel the need to put one too many ingredients into each thing on the menu. Some people (and you'll know if you are one of them) like this way of cooking/eating and others don't. If you look at the menu and try to imagine each course I think you'll know whether it sounds good to you or not. Nothing was *bad* - definitely not. Just wasn't absolutely wonderful. I did, however, love 7Fish and Blue Heaven.
I have a small place in my heart for the following:
Bo's Fish Wagon (Grouper sandwich)
DJ Clam Shack (Lobster roll!)
Cuban Queen (Iced coffee is nice when walking around.)
re: SimonF
Personally, well relaxing down there I like a real causal breakfast......normally get a breakfast sandwich pressed on Cuban bread at either Sandy's or Cuban Coffee Queen.....if at CCQ Is nice to enjoy the sandwich and a cafe con leche while sitting by the harbor enjoying the view. Last trip down we really enjoyed great burgers and tacos for lunch at Cayo Mexican Cantina.....then again, lots of times I just walk down to Old Town Bakery and grab a warm baguette for breakfast to go with some good cafe con leche (if not having cuban toast or cheese toast with it).........very cheap but delicious breakfast!
Haven't been for two years but are headed down tomorrow. Any reviews about Grunt's? Yelpers cited a lot of service issues but there isn't a whole lot that I can find on line. Thanks.
