- Not as goodKennyVIPDined on 11/25/2014I come to Massimo on my birthday every year, to support local restaurants. This is probably one of the best restaurants in Fremont. However, my experience is getting worse year over year. Food was fine. Table side salad is awesome. Entrees are without mistakes. Service needs improvement. No one took away empty salad plate. Waited 20 minutes for dessert menu.
- neighborhood gem?cheftoddDined on 11/25/2014Have heard of this place forever- a little lax in getting a drink order once seated- mid week early time- absolutely no excuse for not having food piping hot when served! portions small, cooked very well- was nice to have the owner come by the table- will give it one more trySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fremont's best restaurantTonyDined on 11/15/2014This is the best restaurant in Fremont. I would definitely continue to recommend this place to my friends. They serve great food and have outstanding service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Service needs workOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/8/2014Even though the food was outstanding, some work needs to be addressed about the service. We had reservations for 7:00 pm we did not get seated until 7:45. Our waiter was friendly but, his timely matter was unexceptable, we had to continuesly look for him for serviceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding everytime!Bonnie7Dined on 11/6/2014David is the best, and the experience the greatest...thank youSpecial Features:
- Great Experience for business guestOpenTable Diner Since 2002VIPDined on 11/5/2014Had 3 executives from a Japanese key customer. It food was prepared very well and the service was implacable. My Japanese customers were very complementary for the pasta they had for lunch. Will continue to bring customers and partners to this nice place in Fremont.
- Fun birthday eveningHondaLaneDined on 11/4/2014My brother, sister, and I go out for dinner 3 times per year to celebrate each other's birthdays. They live in the South Bay and I live in the Tri-Valley area. I asked a friend who lives in Fremont a good place to get a nice meal since Fremont is a halfway point for us. She recommended Massimo's. The food was delicious, fresh, presented appealingly, and the portions were just right. The service is very attentive and professional. The items on the menu are above average price, but the quality of the atmosphere and the dining is well worth it. It was a perfect place for a special night out with my siblings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Hidden GemGotTipsyDined on 10/22/2014I just LOVE this place! From JD the bartender to David our server, you simply can't beat this place. Honestly, THE best in this area. It's tucked away in a strip mall and a little hidden, but absolutely worth the search. The table side Caesar salad is delish and the special risotto never disappoints. The bar area is lively and JD is a master.Special Features:
- A Nice Italian RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/18/2014A friend recommended the restraurant to me a few days ago, and I made a reservation to have dinner with my friends on last Saturday evening. We were very pleased with all the foods we ordered. My husband enjoyed the Prime Rib very much. We all had a wonderful dinner. One thing I would like to mention is that the restaurant is not so easy to be found. It took me several minutes to find it that evening. Anyway, it was a great restaurant. Reservation is easy and free.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Meeting HalfwayOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 10/18/2014We meet friends for dinner occasionally at a midpoint between our homes. Massimo's was recommended by our daughter and met our criteria. Although it is located in as strangebuilding it was a pleasasnt surprise. The foot was excellent and our waiter was exceptional. We shared the mussels and clams appetizer which was great with extremely large mussels. The Massim's special pasta also proved to be quite good. Our friends had the seafood pasta special which they enjoyed thoroughly.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/16/2014It was tasty food. Good service. Great place for a lunch meeting. Would go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lost attention to details & careOpenTable Diner Since 2002VIPDined on 10/16/2014I have been dining at Massimo's for years. in fact I have entertained customers, business partners and company events at the restaurant and was satisfied. on 10/16 we received oily and over fried calamari, over cooked fish and when I mentioned it to the waiter he said he will tell the cook. The level of attention to quality has deteriorated.
- Classy ItalianSpecialfor2Dined on 10/15/2014Great restaurant. I celebrated my birthday here. I had the short ribs special with garlic mash potatoes and vegetables. Service was great, attentive, and timely. I will go back.Special Features:
- Wonderful place for anniversaryLing0718Dined on 10/10/2014We went to Massimo's-Fremont for celebrating our 20th anniversaries. The food there was awesome and the wine we ordered was perfectly match our food. I want to recommend their deserts here. We ordered New York cheese cake, tiramisu, and special gelato. These deserts are not as sweet as those traditional America's so we did enjoy them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant SurpriseKimCDined on 10/10/2014We were looking for a dining location between Danville and San Jose where we could enjoy a relaxing quite dinner with out-of-town friends. Our sever was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The ambiance was wonderful! I must admit I was apprehensive about a location within a shopping center; thank you for the pleasant surprise!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner at Massimo'sMangaDined on 10/9/2014The service was great but the halibut was over cooked. The server brought a sauce to put over it which helped but I should have sent it back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still Fremont's BestPastaloverVIPDined on 10/9/2014We returned to Massimo's for our anniversary. The service was attentive but not smothering. The waiter's recommendations were excellent and the entrees were expertly prepared. We received a complementary dessert without asking or expecting one. Although the neighboring table was a bit loud, we can't blame the restaurant. The evening was just what we had hoped, and we will return again with friends.Special Features:
- Business Meetingf00d1eDined on 10/9/2014I needed to find a restaurant between Concord and South San Jose for an initial business meeting with a new vendor. The meeting was on a Thursday Night and I wanted to limit the driving distance for both of us. I chose Massimo's after reviewing their menu and wine list as well as reviews on Opentable. Upon arrival we were seated immediately. Our server arrived at our table moments later and since I had already reviewed the wine list, I recommended my favorite bottle of Ridge Zinfandel. The specials included Steak Diane and an Alaska Halibut dish as well as a Poached Pear salad. My business colleague and I both ordered the Steak Diane and pear salad. Both were outstanding, perfectly prepared and delicious. I highly recommend Massimo's!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Massimo's 10-04-2014ReluctantDinerVIPDined on 10/4/2014The only issue I had with the restaurant was the service. Firstly, the waiter was not very attentive, and seemed more interested in other tables while attending to us. Secondly, the service seemed unequal. When asked by the waiter, we informed him that we were celebrating our daughter's birthday. We felt slighted when we were not offered anything while the tables around us were given complimentary desserts for birthdays and anniversaries. The experience was the same with the same waiter when we were there to celebrate our anniversary earlier.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Old School Dining at its Best2dogladyDined on 9/13/2014Massimos, with it's updated interior, still reminds me of the places I went with parents and Grandparents in the 1970's. Love the updated bar/lounge area. It is nice to have a drink there before dinner. Very cozy with lite fireplace in the middle of the bar on chilly nights. The merlot colored tufted booths are so comfortable. You can also eat in the bar as well. We have been going here to for several years now for special occasions. It is rare these days that you find table side service for Caesar salads and bananas foster, insert "old school" reference here....Service is outstanding. Our regular waiter "David" is always excellent, along with the rest of the staff. Classic menu, with an Italian slant. Relax and have a fun time!Special Features:

View All Recipes Which Use "Cottage Cheese". Add Information to "cottage cheese" or Add a New Entry.
A fresh cheese made from whole, part-skimmed or skimmed pasteurized cow's milk. Sweet curd cottage cheese (the most popular) has a mild, sometimes bland flavor because the curds are washed to remove most of the cheese's natural acidity. The texture is usually quite moist. If the curds are allowed to drain longer, pot cheese is formed; longer yet and firm farmer's cheese is created. Cottage cheese comes in three varieties: small-curd, medium-curd and large-curd, sometimes called popcorn cottage cheese. Creamed cottage cheese has more cream added. Cottage cheese is available plain and flavored, the most popular additives being chives or pineapple.
Season: available year-round

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Colorado Rockies right-hander Tyler Chatwood says he has a minor left hamstring strain and expects to make his first regular season start Wednesday.
The right-hander left in the third inning of Friday's game against Seattle after he pulled up while running out a triple. Chatwood said Saturday he was feeling better and planned to play catch and ride an exercise bike.
Chatwood says he's "on track" to start against the Marlins in Colorado's third regular-season game.
The Rockies are already without top right-handed starter Jhoulys Chacin, who is expected to be out until early May with a strained shoulder.

+ New tennis centerto be dedicated
The Town Commission decided to dedicate the new Longboat Key Public Tennis Center building to the Mrachek and Schlorff families at its regular workshop Jan. 21, in recognition of their vision and commitment to make public tennis a success on Longboat Key.
The dedication of the new building will occur at noon Sunday, Feb. 28 in conjunction with the center's grand-opening events.
Activities will include an exhibition match featuring world-class tennis players Larry Turville, Lorne Main, Hugh Thomson and Joe Bachmann, all of who are world and national champions. Light refreshments will be provided, and all residents are invited.
+ Harry's grantedspecial meeting
Harry's Continental Kitchens co-owner Lynn Christensen asked for and was granted a special meeting to be held before the 2 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 18 regular workshop for the commission to review a request by the restaurant to have 24 outdoor dining seats on its extended patio.
Said Christensen: "A lot of people in the community are waiting for outdoor dining, and we're trying to accelerate outside seating on our patio before the season ends."
+ How many groins will be built?
Longboat Key residents David Brenner and Dr. Murray "Murf" Klauber told the Town Commission at its Jan. 21 workshop that the town should build only one of the two groins being built behind The Islander Club.
"If one groin does the job, why not just wait and see?" Brenner said.
Klauber suggested the second groin would be better suited for the north end of the island.
Coastal Planning & Engineering Engineer Doug Mann, however, said it's a combination of the two groins that will provide beach stability behind the condominium.
+ Correction
The couple featured in the Health Matters Picture of Health column were Phil Segerstrom, 73, and Beverly Albertson, 70.

• Key Club Islandside Project Hearings — 9 a.m. Friday, Jan. 29, Temple Beth Israel, 575 Bay Isles Road.
• Town Commission Regular Meeting — 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 1, Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.

What's the worst generic food ever?
- natewrites Jan 2, 2011 04:43 PM
In the eighties, my sister and I had a box pizza called Momma Bosso's from Aldi (a discount food chain), and it was horrible. Crust didn't set; the sauce tasted like ketchup. It was sort of a soupy mess. That and that old black and white beer that came in cans that just said "Beer" was off the hook crapola.
So what's the worst tasting generic food you've ever had?
re: lilgi
i made an opposite sort of mistake recently!
I was baking cookies for my office, and not being a great baker, I figured I would buy the best possible quality ingredients.
I bought sweet cream butter fom Italy. The packaging and description sold me! The $10 price tag did not deter me...
When i got home and sneaked a little taste - I was horrified to discover that the natural taste of this stuff was actually quite "cheesy"...almost like stinky feet cheesy!
Luckily I had gotten some Hotel Bar butter - just in case!!
re: NellyNel
I bought Plugra for the first time and it was $5/lb, but I didn't care for it either. Breakstone, Hotel bar, are all good and I've also baked well with other store brands like Richfood, no problem there. The experience with Shoprite butter altered my xmas baking karma this year, it really grossed me out!
re: NellyNel
Interesting. I've never had _any_ issues with ShopRite butter. I've used it in cooking, in baking, and spreading. And when it goes on sale for less than $2/lb I make a supply of ghee.
I've never experienced any off tastes with it (and for spreading, I don't even refrigerate it).
re: Isolda
I imagine, it would have been good in a savory dish....
but not for Christmas cookies!
(Although I did sneak a little of it into one of the cookies. (I made 5 varieties) I think I used it for the ginger ones figuring they are robust, and spicy, and the strong cheesy taste wouldnt come through! )
re: Isolda
Ahhh Isolda, thought I was going nuts, I'm so glad you said that.
That's why now I'm obligated to spend more; wasting dishes is the worst! so much time and effort, not to mention it ends up costing more.
re: buttertart
i should partially rescind my diet soda comment. years ago, in college, the walmart near me sold diet pink grapefruit soda. highlighter pink. surely chocked full of chemicals. twas bliss.
i can't remember the last time i bought a generic food product, so i'll go back to my childhood & college years to answer this one:
- cream cheese
- sugary breakfast cereals
- diet soda
re: Sal Vanilla
good call Sal, i think we should clarify here. technically any private-label or "store brand" is a generic brand...but when i hear "generic" i don't immediately think Kirkland or the 365 label from Whole Paycheck...instead, it brings to mind the things the OP mentioned like beer that's simply labeled "beer" or soda that just says "cola" on the bottle.
so if we are including the better private labels, then i do buy generics - specifically Kirkland (i don't shop at Whole Paycheck anymore so no 365 for me). but as you pointed out, store brands have really improved over the past 20 years or so...which is probably why i had to go back that far to think of bad ones! :)
re: Sal Vanilla
Same here. I find the store brands are actually quite often _better_ than the name brands...and the pices are usually (though not always) significantly better.
re: Bob W
Ain't it the truth, Bob W? Albert Brooks had a hysterical bit about that in the movie he did with Debbie Reynolds about 15 years ago: his mom stocked the freezer with (well, she froze everything, including leftover salad) brands like "Frosti-Kreem" ice cream and it drove him nuts.
Beer=definitely the worst offender.
re: mamachef
re: mamachef
Reminded me of Repo Man.
re: Cachetes
I was thinking of Repo Man too!
re: mamachef
best movie ever.
"i like my cheese in the ounces. when it weighs as much as a fiat, i get scared."
he did also say that salt is salt. unfortunately, or fortunately, i don't feel that way anymore.
re: mamachef
I always want to watch 'Mother' on Mother's Day, (hey I love mine but that doesn't mean I don't get to laugh at her food foibles) but sadly there's also a bittersweet Japanese movie of the same name they show instead.
re: hill food
Is there a "mom's food foibles" thread? Hmmmm......lotta subconscious (some, not so much) fodder there.....
re: mamachef
oh yes there are more than several - the names escape me at the moment.
wait, here are a couple, but there are more.
re: small h
We eat a ton of mandarin oranges at our house, so a couple of years back when I was at one of those wholesale liquidator stores I saw a pile of mongrel brand mandarin orange cans. Like you, I thought, "how bad could they be?" They tasted fine but the segments were all busted up. There was barely an intact segment out of all the cans we bought. Just juice and orange shreds.
This is too funny, I don't remember seeing any of this kind of food! I'm trying to think....
re: sueatmo
Fake Miracle Whip?????
That stuff is fake to begin with. :-)
re: The Professor
Yeah, I don't know what I was referring to, unless I had had some off brand salad dressing. I've used Hellmann's for years.
Back in the 70's when I was in high school, one of my friends painted their Ford Maverick white with a black line down the side and stenciled in "CAR" on the rear quarter panels.
I have always liked store brands in a certain way!
I really can't remember one that horrified me, and I have loved a few!
Shoprite mac & cheese, and Pathmark cola are 2 of my favs...
i suppose thats a different thread though
re: magiesmom
re: magiesmom
The store-brand cereals -- at least at Harris-Teeter -- seem a lot better these days, and they are half the price, so we buy them a lot. They aren't exactly like the name brand stuff but they taste good enough.
Of course, my daughter is now old enough to correct me when I say, "Do you want some Rice Krispies?" She says, "You mean Crispy Rice." "Uh yeah, same thing." "No, not exactly." LOL
Ahhh, just remembered an episode of "Everybody Hates Chris" and how Julius LOVES the generic stuff; this one was Halloween :)
Odd, No one has mentioned cheap coffee. My father has one tastebud. He will buy anything based on price. He buys london broil buy the cart load then freezes it. In the two or three years to eat all that, It's still good to him! So one year he gives me a gallon size tub of ???? brand coffee. No amount of milk, heavy cream, honey, sugar, cinnamon, and ... could fix the burnt and bitter, or just poorly roasted fourth rate bean, flavor.
I have had just about every bad generic that one can think of thanks to my husband having gone on a really bad tangent by replacing all of mine and my kids' favorite foods with generics:
Kraft Mac N' Cheese= Hyvee Generic and or Cheese Club
Kraft American Singles= Happy Farms Generic
Kraft Shredded Cheese for things like tacos and pizza or others= Hyvee Generic
Philadelphia Cream Cheese= Happy Farms Generic
Bisquick Baking Mix= Baker's Choice Genric
Gold Medal Flour= Baker's Choice Generic
Stove Top Stuffing= Chef's Cupboard Generic
Lipton Onion Soup= Chef's Cupboard Generic
Any and all cereals= Millville Generic- Hyvee Generic- Great Value Generic and other Generics
Cream of soups= Hyvee Generic
Campbell's and Chef Boyardi Products= Bon Italia Generic
Spaghetti Sauces and other sauces= Regano Generic
Lunchmeats for sandwiches and school lunches= Friendly Farms Generic- Walden Farm Generic- Lunchmate Generic
Wyler's Bullion Cubes= Chef's Cupboard Generic
Snack Items like Chips- Party Mixes and others= Clancy's Generic
The Eggo Waffles that Nay Nay loves have been replaced with Breakfast Best Generic
Any and all types of Tuna: Northern Catch Generic
Pies- Desserts- Breads- Buns and a few other things: L'Oven Fresh Generic
Dessert Toppings like Cool Whip: Friendly Farms Generic
Yogurt: Friendly Farms or Happy Farms Generic
And a good majority of these yucky little generics can be found at the "Crown Jewel Seller Of Generics"- Aldi.
The rest are HY-Vee- Walmart- Dahl's- Fareway and other stores.
I can't stand any of them- I'm tired of them and I would love to just throw them all away or donate them to local church food pantries. AAAACK!
Generic cheap american cheese slices, the worst . I remember my mom bringing some home from aldis ewww. I tried to make a grilled cheese and the cheese tasted awful and didn't really melt. It was 1989 I was 16 and I still remember that nasty oily flavor. I would have eaten almost anything at that time, as I had spent all evening "studying" with friends but I could not eat that generic grilled cheese.
not food, but for food storage nothing sucks more than generic aluminum foil - the least bit of acidity in the food and a layer will leach off into the food - just kiss that sheet of lasagna goodbye.
I bought a few cans of canellini beans not long ago. Store brand, or generic or whatever it is. Anyhoo, imagine MY suprise when I opened all three cans to make a quick cassoulet and I'll be damned if each can didn't contain full liquid and like seriously, 3 beans. And I was so mad that I didn't taste them so I can't say if they were actually bad food but it was certainly a bad moment and a bad batch/buy.
Yes, I got my money back. The store manager said that if I'd gone to the trouble of decanting the bean liquid into a jar to bring it in as proof, it was certainly the least he could do.
Target's "Archer Farms" stuff is pretty awful, especially any of the shelf stable pasta kits that come with some sort of envelope of sauce mix.
In general though I think store brand/generic stuff has gotten a lot better in terms of quality from what I remember as a kid. I'm a big fan of Save-A-Lot's store brand canned tomatoes and sauces. Same goes for Trader Joe's sauces, condiments, frozen goods, and spices. Whole Food's 365 brand stuff is also good quality. Even World Market has a great selection of their own store brand spices, which are cheaper than McCormick, and very fresh.
re: Atomic76
Miracle Whip!
When I know I'm getting close to the shelf at the store that it's sitting on I keep walking and avert my eyes until I know I'm well passed it.

UPDATED Friday, December 7, 2012--4:10p.m.
MADISON--Edgar Salinas-Leal is the man guilty of killing Darrell Ballweg--and his sentencing spawned an emotional day in court.
It all started back in February. At the time, Salinas-Leal, his wife and their infant daughter lived with Darrell and Deborah Ballweg.
One night an argument about sharing food escalated into a fight. Salinas-Leal shot and killed Darrell Ballweg, before fleeing with his wife and infant child.
That sparked a several day manhunt around the area as authorities first found his wife and daughter.
He was taken into custody after a SWAT team captured him hiding out in a vacant Madison apartment.
Salinas-Leal plead guilty to the killing -- today he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with another 15 years of extended supervision.
He says he'd take back his actions if he could: "I wish I had the power to heal you, to heal Darrel's family," said Salinas-Leal. "I wish I had the power to bring him back. I wish I could go back in time, I would trade spots with Darrell anytime."
In an emotional twist--Ballweg's widow, who is deaf--spoke to her husband's killer, with help from an interpreter. "I want you to know that I do not hate you," she said. "I am speaking from my heart. I love you and I forgive you. Take care of yourself."
UPDATED Tuesday, September 25, 2012 ---- 6:15 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A man charged with killing his landlord after an argument over food has pleaded guilty to charges in an agreement with Dane County prosecutors.
Twenty-five-year-old Edgar Salinas-Leal has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of second-degree intentional homicide, among other charges, in the Feb. 3 death of Darrell Ballweg.
The victim's wife, Deborah, witnessed the shooting and was in court for the plea Monday. A criminal complaint says the Ballwegs were eating in the townhouse they shared with the defendant and his family. After Salinas-Leal's wife asked the Ballwegs to share their food, they refused and Salinas-Leal and Darrell Ballweg began to fight.
Authorities say Salinas-Leal left, returned with a gun and shot Darrell Ballweg in the chest.
The State Journal (http://tinyurl.com/963y9x9 ) says a sentencing date has not been set.

UPDATED Monday February 13, 2012--6:40p.m.
MADISON--Edgar Salinas-Leal is charged with first degree intentional homicide--as well as five other counts--following the death of Darrell Ballweg.
He died on Friday, February third.
Now, the wife of Salinas-Leal says he acted out because their infant daughter was in danger.
As we've reported: Salinas-Leal, his wife and their child were roommates with Ballweg and his wife.
The criminal complaint says Salinas-Leal shot Ballweg during a dispute about sharing food.
Salinas-Leal then disappeared, resulting in a four-day manhunt across the area before a SWAT team brought him in on February eighth.
His wife was present at his court appearance today and spoke with us.
She says it was all just a big accident--and that Salinas-Leal acted to protect their daughter.
In court today, the attorney for Salinas-Leal says that her understanding is that the victim initially armed himself with a knife and then came after Salinas-Leal.
Bail for Salinas-Leal was set at a million dollars and he's not allowed to have contact with either the victim's wife or his own.
UPDATED Monday, February 13, 2012--3:40p.m.

REPORTER: Chris Woodard
An accused murderer is in custody tonight, putting an end to a four day manhunt across the Madison area.
But police say more charges may still be coming.
Tonight Edgar Ivan Salinas-Leal is in custody. When police raided a vacant unit in an apartment building this morning to capture him, it made for some frightening moments for others who live there.
Anthony Kellogg lives across the hall. He says the apartment Salinas-Leal was found in has been empty for months and says the door was always locked.
He doesn't know how Salinas-Leal could have gotten in.
He and his wife, along with their two kids, were escorted out of the building by armed SWAT members sometime before 4 a.m. this morning.
He says, "I don't understand. I don't know if he climbed up the balcony or was watching to see when we came in or what was going on, but it seems sketchy to me. I don't know if it was an inside job but we're very concerned."
Early this morning police SWAT raided the apartment on the 5800 block of Raymond Road.
They say the 24-year-old Salinas-Leal was captured inside the vacant unit.
The capture puts an end to four days of around the clock searching, involving just about every single unit in the Madison Police Department.
Police say they may not be done yet
Police spokesman Joel DeSpain says, "The possibility exists we may see another arrest or arrests if we find people who were aiding and abetting the suspect when he was on the run."
Police had been looking for Salinas-Leal since Friday when they say he shot his roommate after the two had an argument over sharing food.
Friends of the victim, 38-year-old Darrell Ballweg, say they are relieved Salinas-Leal is off the streets. They say there will be a funeral and visitation for Ballweg Thursday.
UPDATED Wednesday, February 8, 2012 --- 4:10 a.m.
From the Madison Police Department:
Edgar Ivan Salinas-Leal was taken into custody through an excellent coordinated effort by patrol, detectives, CPT, CPGU and SWAT members.

REPORTER: Chris Woodard
While police have not released the name of this murder victim, tonight we're learning more about the man killed, 38-year-old Darrell Ballweg, from those who knew him.
Ballweg was deaf.
It's something that made him part of a very tight knit community in this area and one reason so many people are grieving tonight.
What happened at the home of Ballweg and his wife Friday night is too horrible to believe for some friends.
The 38-year-old Ballweg was murdered.
The man police say pulled the trigger is someone Ballweg was allowing to live with him, simply out of kindness according to friends.
Through an interpreter Michael Hulkoff said, "I'm shocked."
Hulkoff also lived with Ballweg and his wife for a while when he and his wife were down on their luck. He calls Ballweg a good friend.
Like Ballweg, he's deaf.
He said, "He's a hard working man. He always is tough and generous and helping."
Hulkoff was just helping Ballweg remodel his bathroom earlier this week and says he can't believe he's gone.
Today he left a flower on the doorstep to Ballweg's home.
He said, "My kids loved Darrell, always went to him as soon as we went to their place. Darrell would be watching football and the kids would come up and sit on his lap and want to watch SpongeBob and he would channel surf until they found it."
This death is hitting the deaf community hard.
Hulkoff said, "Deaf is a small world. We all know each other."
Today I spent time sending messages as a way to communicate with people who say Ballweg was a friend.
Some have known him since grade school and shared their pictures.
One friend called him a sweetheart and said he was always helping people. She said the entire deaf community is grieving.
Another friend called him friendly, funny and helpful, always a joy to be around.
One friend even sent us a picture of Ballweg with Ivan, the man police believe killed him, and Ivan's wife.
Others tell us they knew Ivan as well and always thought he was a good person.
Many in this tight knit community are now struggling to make sense of a crime that has them reeling.
Hulkoff said, "That day I was with Darrell and my gosh, I can't believe he's gone."
One question we're hearing a lot is from people wondering why the suspect was living with Ballweg and his wife.
I'm told Salinas Leal's family moved out of state and when he had nowhere to go the Ballwegs allowed him to move in because he was a friend.
UPDATED: Saturday, February 4, 2012 --- 4:45 p.m.
While Edgar Ivan Salinas-Leal is still at large, NBC 15 is learning more about the man police think he shot and killed Friday night.
The 38-year-old man's name is being withheld until family are notified, but neighbors say they are surprised anybody would want to harm him.
"He had a hearing impairment so he could read my lips but when I talked to him a lot of times he would have to write a note for me," said Jim Maier, who lives across the street. Maier says the two would occasionally collaborate on projects, and that the victim was always friendly.
"That whole family was deaf," said Neighbor Jim Robinson of the victim and his wife. "They would always give a friendly wave to us. It's a total shock that something happened like that over there."
UPDATED: Saturday, February 4, 2012 --- 11:05 a.m.
As investigators search for Edgar Ivan Salinas-Leal, the investigative team does not know if Jessica Salinas went voluntarily with him.
Detectives have concern about her safety, and for the welfare of the couple's baby (between 4 and 7 months old). Click on the PHOTOS tab for a picture of Jessica.
Police tell NBC15's Phil Levin that Salinas-Leal has connections to Texas; so he may have fled out of state.
As we've reported, a 38-year-old man was shot last night on Madison's north side. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim's wife, we are told, was a witness to this crime.
Again, anyone with information should call 911.
UPDATED Saturday, February 4, 2012 --- 8:20 a.m.
From the Madison Police Department:
The Madison Police Department is investigating the city's first homicide of the year.
A 38-year-old man was shot and killed by a housemate following a dispute inside a home in the 4400 block of White Aspen Rd.
The victim's family and the suspect's family lived in the same residence.
Officers were called to the scene shortly after 8:00 p.m.
Prior to their arrival, the suspect - Mr. Edgar Ivan Salinas-Leal, age 24 - fled in the victim's vehicle: a blue/green 2006 Chevy Uplander with Wisconsin license plates 69157D.
He is believed to be with his wife Jessica and their infant child.
There is a warrant for his arrest, and the MPD has asked law enforcement agencies, inside and outside of Wisconsin, to be on the lookout.
Mr. Salinas-Leal should be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone seeing him should call 911.
The Dane County Medical Examiner will release the name of the victim after all of his family is notified
UPDATED: Saturday, February 4, 2012 -- 7:46 a.m.
The 38-year-old man who was shot last night on Madison's north side was pronounced dead at the scene, Madison Public Information Officer Joel DeSpain tells NBC15.
DeSpain says the victim's name is not being released at this time. The suspect, 24-year-old Edgar Ivan Salinas-Leal fled the scene in a 2006 Chevy Uplander he stole from the victim. Authorities believe he fled the scene with his wife, Jessica, and their infant daughter.
Authorities say the Salinas-Leal and his family lived in the same side of a duplex on the 44-hundred block of White Aspen Road. The two men were in a verbal dispute in that duplex when police believe Salinas-Leal fired at least one shot at his victim.
Salinas-Leal is considered armed and dangerous. Police do not know where he might have gone, but they've spread the word to other law enforcement departments in the area. If you see him, police say you should call 911 immediately.

France, 1993 (MIFF 1994)
Director: Tonie Marshall
Maxime is a 40-year-old three-pack-a-day Parisian gumshoe whose personal life is as loose fitting as her wardrobe. Freewheeling, tough and independent, she travels solo with the odd sojourn in the sack with various young men and occasionally women. But her (low) lifestyle without strings runs into her rather over populated past when working an insurance fraud angle. Maxime has to juggle principles, ethics, justice, morality and perhaps for the first time in her life, emotions.
French comedian Anemone plays the private eye at the centre of writer/director Tonie Marshall's dryly humorous cinematic storm. In most stories the hard-boiled bachelor is always a man with the women waiting in the romantic wings. In Something Fishy (or the more appropriate French title, Pas Tres Catholique) Marshall turns the tables and allows Anemone (France's equivalent to the early, gutsy Bette Midler) to revel in Maxime's hard bitten, slobby demeanour and ballsy putdowns. Deliberately unmade up and unglamorous her strikingly raw and dynamic 'lived in' performance sets the film far apart from the high gloss of most French cinema and launches the film into the seldom charted terrain of the older single woman. Anemone (for whom Marshall specifically wrote the character) is astoundingly three-dimensional and makes Maxime's story so moving that it is a testament to her craft. Life may be tough but so is Maxime. They were made for each other.

Tivoli Marina Vilamoura
Specially set up as a holiday destination, Vilamoura can lay claim to being the biggest resort in Europe. It's a real testament to man-made development as every inch of the resort has been meticulously planned to bring the best out of sun holidays. So whether you love sports, nightlife or beaches, you'll find your every need is catered for in Vilamoura.
Purposely built for brilliant holidays
When it comes to sports, Vilamoura really shines. There are six golf courses within the resort, and the perfectly manicured fairways with huge glassy lakes have led to the Portuguese Open being played here. Active types will also love the large, modern Vilamoura Tennis Club and the Vilamoura Riding Centre that takes you and your horse on trails through the peaceful Environmental Park.
Balmy evenings in Vilamoura are often based around the resort's stunning marina - it's big enough for over 1,000 gleaming yachts and is a great place to people watch as the rich and glamorous get dressed to impress, ready for a night on the town.
With most hotels just moments from the beach, such as the Crowne Plaza available with Jet2holidays, Vilamoura seems set up for sunbathing. The cotton-soft sand of Praia da Rocha Baixinha stretches across an open expanse, all the way to the local city of Albufeira.
Up in the hills, just five miles from Vilamoura, the idyllic whitewashed village of Loulé will give you the perfect Portuguese counterpoint to the bustle of the resort. Stop and admire the pristine townhouses and then when you're ready to return you can head back for a quick round of golf before sunset. After all, holidays in Vilamoura are all about enjoying yourself!
Super sporty activities and a hint of the past
Being a purpose-built resort, you may think that Vilamoura only offers modern activities. But in fact the excavation work in the town has ensured that there is an even greater variety of things to do, as you can even see ancient ruins at the resort's museum.
However, it's likely that on your holidays in Vilamoura you'll be expecting a great game of golf, and that's certainly what you'll find. It's actually not an exaggeration to claim that Vilamoura has some of the best golfing facilities in the whole of Europe, as there are six golf courses all within the resort. The most popular is the Oceânico Old Course, which has long, narrow fairways surrounded by densely forested trees. Created in 1969 by Frank Pennik, the course has been used for the Portuguese Open, highlighting its quality.
By contrast, the Oceânico Millennium has very wide, open fairways, large water features and deep sandy bunkers. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the name, it was opened in the year 2000 and is one of the newer courses in Vilamoura. Upping the difficulty level, the second course created by Frank Pennik, Oceânico Pinhal, is one of the toughest in the resort. Fairways are extremely narrow and feature overhanging trees, which means you have to play your swings with pinpoint accuracy. Pestana Vila Sol is one of the only golf courses in Vilamoura not owned by the Oceânico group. It's an ideal place for beginners, as there's a full coaching academy and driving range here, whilst the course is a lush oasis lined with trimmed cypress trees.
Lying on the north-west outskirts of the resort, you'll come to the final two Oceânico golf courses. Designed by golfing legend Arnold Palmer in 2004, Oceânico Victoria is perhaps the most beautiful, as it features huge lakes and artfully designed bunkers. It's open fairways and lack of trees may look forgiving, but you'll need all your golfing skills to conquer the dog legs and island greens the course challenges you to. Finally, Oceânico Laguna sits close to a nature reserve, and some of its beauty seems to have rubbed off on the course itself. Like Victoria, Laguna features a number of large lakes that always add intrigue.
If you're feeling suitably sporty after your time on the greens, you'll be pleased to know there's a whole range of ways to keep active in the resort. The Vilamoura Tennis Club is one of the biggest in the Algarve, and it features twelve hard surface tennis courts kept in pristine condition. And as the warm evenings in Portugal are perfect for tennis, five of them are floodlit so you can carry on playing well into the night. There's also five floodlit five-a-side football pitches and full tennis coaching available for everyone, from experts to beginners.
Out to sea, the action continues in the form of big game fishing and deep sea diving. The warm Atlantic waters that surround the Algarve are a haven for sea life, from dolphins and whales to marlin and tuna. The crystal clear waters make scuba diving very special – at the seabed it's likely you'll see octopuses, conger eels and brightly coloured coral.
For exploring the beauty of the green countryside that engulfs the coastline of Vilamoura, you may instead prefer to go on a relaxing horse ride. The Vilamoura Riding Centre even offers lessons in their horse riding ring first, so you can get used to riding a horse if you're a complete beginner. Once you feel confident, you can ride into the Environmental Park, protected green wetlands that cover over 200 hectares and attract hundreds of wild birds.
That brings us back to those ancient ruins. During the building work of Vilamoura, the foundations for a Roman villa and baths were discovered, named Cerro da Vila. Incredibly, the ruins date back to the 2nd century AD and the time of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor. At the site, you'll also see salt baths and patterned monochrome mosaics with a modern museum just opposite that displays Roman, Visigoth and Moorish artefacts.
Authentic cuisine and ultra-fresh seafood
The national dishes of the Portuguese cuisine are incredibly vibrant and varied, and you'll have ample opportunity to sample them on your holidays in Vilamoura. Being a coastal country, Portugal has something of a speciality for fish dishes and in particular cod. You'll notice that the Portuguese method for preparing cod varies differs greatly from the British. Generally, cod is salted and dried (reflecting the old way of preserving fish before refrigeration) before cooking, giving it an intensely fresh and flavourful taste. One of the most popular meals in Portugal is also Caldeirada, a rich fish stew made with cod, prawns, mussels, white wine and potatoes.
Despite being a relatively new resort, you'll be surprised to see that there's an abundance of authentic Portuguese restaurants. Some of the best include Casa do Pescador, which has a charming palm tree covered terrace near the marina, and the popular Don Alfonso.
But to really capture the spirit of Portugal, you could always head into the nearby village of Loulé. Just seven miles inland, its quiet cobbled streets are lined with sparkling white townhouses and fragrant orange trees. The restaurants here are almost entirely Portuguese, and dining outside in the leafy courtyards makes for a very memorable experience.
Back in Vilamoura, you'll notice that international flavours are on the menu too. As a worldwide tourist resort, the number of eateries has continually expanded to reflect popular demand. So you could just as easily find yourself enjoying Thai green curry or even a British fry-up whilst on your holidays in Vilamoura.
If you just want to relax you could always opt for half board or even all inclusive for your stay in the resort. The Dom Pedro Golf hotel is close to many of the major golf courses and offers you the choice of bed & breakfast, half board or all inclusive holidays.
Cliff-backed beaches of golden sand
The central beach in Vilamoura is known as Praia da Marina or sometimes Praia da Vilamoura. It's a wide, spacious expanse of golden sand that stretches for almost the entire coastline of the resort. As a Blue Flag beach it is also keep very clean with the added safety of coastal guard lookouts. Being one of the focal points for holidays in Vilamoura, you'll also find that the fun continues out to sea. The watersports on offer here range from parasailing to pedaloes and jet-skiing. At the western end of this shoreline, closest to the marina, there is a private beach called Purobeach. For a fee you can enjoy the sun on private canopy-covered beds, enjoy indulgent Thai massages and listen to a live DJ play smooth chill-out tunes.
The other major beach in Vilamoura is Praia da Rocha Baixinha. Its creamy coloured sand make it one of the most attractive stretches of coastline in the Algarve. Unusually for Portugal, the both of the beaches in Vilamoura are very open and expansive, which is a marked contrast to the cliff-backed beaches in Albufeira. But if you continue along the coastline of Praia da Rocha Baixinha, which transforms into Praia da Falesia midway, you'll eventually reach the Algarve's main city anyway.
It's certainly worth travelling to Albufeira at least once, as the Old Town has pretty pastel buildings which house atmospheric bars and restaurants. Praia da Oura is the first beach you'll reach if you're arriving from Vilamoura and it is surrounded by moss-topped cliffs of gold. Praia do Tunel and Praia do Pescadores are also backed by steep craggy cliffs and are less than 10 miles away from Vilamoura.
A combination of cultured and lively nights out
The nightlife in Vilamoura tends to be focused around the marina, as there's something particularly alluring about sipping cool cocktails whilst watching the gleaming white yachts bobbing in mirror-like water. Most bars have a classy, sophisticated feel in keeping with the upmarket nature of the resort. That's not to say you can't have a lively night out here, as pubs like O'Shea's, O'Neill's (both Irish) and Grogan's have a warm atmosphere and great value drinks deals.
Being a particularly sporty resort, Vilamoura even reflects this characteristic in its choice of bars. One of the most famous is Bar Sete ('seven' in Portuguese) as it is part-owned by the football legend Figo. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the bar has all sorts of Figo memorabilia, including his framed Portugal football shirt and photos from famous matches. There are bars made with golfing in mind too, such as the Hole in One and the 19th hole bar which features karaoke and live bands.
For a glamorous night out you could always head to the Vilamoura Casino. With the vibrant neon lights and sparkling fountains inviting you inside, you'll find there are plenty of games here for a frivolous flutter. More than 500 slot machines are spread across a huge gaming floor, as well as poker, blackjack and roulette tables. The casino also has a cabaret, a laser-lit club, a bar and two restaurants to ensure you're always entertained.
On the outskirts of Vilamoura, just beyond the Oceânico Victoria golf course, you'll come to a place for serious partying! The Kadoc Club is the largest nightclub in the Algarve, and has the capacity for 7000 people spread across different rooms and an outdoor terrace. The size and stylish look of the club attract big name DJs from across the world.
Located in the Parque Mourabel complex, the hotel shares facilities with two other properties which are separated by no more than 100 metres. The apartments are ideal for families and couples who enjoy relaxing in peaceful surroundings and want to enjoy all that Vilamoura has to offer.

Yellowcard Gifts And Curses Lyrics
Last updated: 03/24/2012 11:00:00 AM
Mary belongs to the words of a song.
I try to be strong for her, try not to be wrong for her.
But she will not wait for me anymore, anymore.
Why did I say all those things before I was sure?
(She is the one), but I have a purpose,
(She is the one), and I have to fight this,
(she is the one), the villain I can't knock down.
I see your face with every punch I take,
and every bone I break, it's all for you.
And my worst pains are words I cannot say,
still I will always fight on for you.
Mary's alive in the bright New York sky,
the city lights shine for her, above them I cry for her.
Everything's small on the ground below, down below.
What if I fall, then where would I go, would she know?
(She is the one), all that I wanted,
(she is the one), and I will be haunted,
(she is the one), this gift is my curse for now.
I see your face with every punch I take,
and every bone I break, it's all for you.
And my worst pains are words I cannot say.
Still I will always fight on for you.
I see your face with every punch I take,
and every bone I break, it's all for you.
And my worst pains are words I cannot say.
Still I will always fight on for you.
Fight on for you...
Fight on for you...

I love the song very much. | Reviewer: Khanindra(ray) | 3/24/12
This is a fantastic song.... Every time i listen to this song, it remembers me of someone special..... But that beautiful time has gone. I thought that it was a gift. But it became my worst curse ever. I don't know what happened. But she was really the one for me.
gift n curse | Reviewer: tata | 9/18/10
same as those comments before....this song is so amazing......about the meaning of lovin someone between gift n curse...i ve ever felt this....when i loved someone...i cant understand it was the gift or the curse fr me...bcos i love the guy tht i cant even own...even just to see him n talk to him i cant....it was so fun bfore bt in the end its killing me... :'(
this is my song.. :( | Reviewer: Jester | 11/17/09
"she is the one, all that i wanted
she is the one, and i will be haunted
she is the one, this gift is my curse for now.."
i left the girl of my dreams in KY to move to NJ so i could pursue my music career..and she hated me for that, i chose my dreams over her..i really love her, but now she won't talk to me..i know im gonna regret that decision for the rest of my life.. :'(
Reflects on me | Reviewer: Jantrina | 10/7/09
Wow the line that"I tried to be strong for her,try not to be wrong for her"
This is a song of my lovelife...A dying song of my heart..It hurts,it makes me remember all the sad things w/ my love..:(
Amazing | Reviewer: pinoybandit101 | 5/27/08
The part of the song where "What if I fall, then where would I go, would she know?
(She is the one), all that I wanted,
(she is the one), and I will be haunted,
(she is the one), this gift is my curse for now."
It feels like what I'm going through... Like if I let go of her would she ever know that I liked her and that it would haunt me forever because I may never know the answer... That the love I have for her within me is like a gift yet a curse at the same time.. something like that idk
Even the part w/ "And my worst pains are words I cannot say,
still I will always fight on for you."
That's how I feel when ever I see her and I can't say those words to her cuz it jst can't come up and it jst hurts me but yet I'll always fight on for her
So yeh 'nuff said bout my love life but all in all this song is amazing
Fantastilicious | Reviewer: Jaydee | 2/16/08
This is to my mind one of the most beautiful songs ever written in this genre.
It's an emotional wonder and the musical arrangement is just absolutely amazing!
Suits the film perfectly.
Goosebumps, for sure!
he was the one | Reviewer: kassie | 1/22/08
this song reminds me of someone i wasn't sure if i loved or not...i let him go before figuring that out and now he's gone with another girl and I can never have him it hurts to here this song because he took the lyrics and instead of Mary put my name it was sweet, he was my Spider-man and I miss him dearly.
Beautiful Song | Reviewer: Mary | 1/8/08
I love this song! Everytime I hear it I cry. I was really confused about who I really cared about then one of the guys that I really liked said to me, "Well Mary... i found a song and it reminds me of you. I find it funny how true it is about me and you." So that night when he got offline I finsihed downloading and after hearing it Im not confused Anymore. I cried as soon as the "She is the one" part came on.
Love this song | Reviewer: thomas | 12/12/07
It reminds me Of someone special that I could not have because I had Epilepsy but i still love and I will always fight on for you.

Its awesome!
I love the instrumental
part too it sounds so cool!
The violin part sounds madass!
It's one of the greatest songs!!!:)
Brilliant - but that's no surprise! | Reviewer: Sarah | 7/29/05
There isn't a better band in the world, at the moment, then Yellowcard. Gifts And Curses is beautifully written and Ryan Key's voice suits the song perfectly. Put simply, this song is amazing, but as it's Yellowcard behind it... that really does not surprise me.
HELLS YA!!!! | Reviewer: Em | 1/5/05
I love this song because the lyrics are amazing. unlie the other people i heard it on the cd because i have always loved this group. Yellow card has a very smooth and mellow sound with some of their songs and the violins are perfect, who els could honestly pull off a punk band....with violins? 5 STARS BABY!

This undated photo made available by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows a branch of the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. The fungus can also cause skin infections if it enters a break in the skin. The meningitis outbreak is linked to the fungus being accidentally injected into people as a contaminant in steroid treatments. It's not clear how the fungus got into the medicine.
