The Kerala Congress (M) has hit out at its detractors within the United Democratic Front (UDF) and held that the failure on the part of the Congress to discipline its workers was mainly responsible for the simmering unrest within the coalition.
An editorial published in the latest edition, dated November 14, of the party mouthpiece Prathichaya, took a serious view of the growing trend of Congress leaders engaging in public criticism of others in the party as well as leaders of constituent parties. Besides tarnishing the image of the coalition, such acts had resulted in a scenario in which the UDF lacked a definite stance on various issues concerning governance. Contrary to its name, the coalition lacked unity, the editorial said.
Certain instances in the recent past had compelled the Kerala Congress and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) to consider the possibility of quitting the coalition. The collective stance of the parties was also conveyed during the recent meeting of the UDF that was held at Kovalam. While the IUML had raised complaints regarding alleged attempts to isolate the party within the front, the problems faced by the KC (M) were much more serious in nature, it pointed out.
Criticising the actions of a few MLAs who had raised the issue of 'green politics', the KC (M) claimed that the party had strived for the welfare of the farming community since its inception. The party has stuck to its avowed policies on issues concerning agriculture and had championed several campaigns for farmers' cause.
It also took a serious view of the recent criticisms levelled by the Minister for Revenue against Finance and Law Minister K.M. Mani, chairman of the party. "Unfounded" allegations regarding attempts to undermine the powers of other departments were raised in the instance. The editorial stated that Mr. Mani had carried out the special directive of the Chief Minister in preparing the draft for the Kerala Land Utilisation Bill. While he could have chosen the system of submitting the draft before the Cabinet for considerations, Mr. Mani had instead sought the suggestions of the Revenue Minister in an attempt to ensure transparency and democracy. The woes of the KC (M) were further compounded after the Chief Minister chose not to back Mr. Mani.
The editorial concluded by cautioning that the party would be left with no other option than to take the extreme step of severing ties with the coalition if the Congress leadership failed to rein in its workers and continued to remain aloof to the actual problems faced by the coalition.

Clockwatchers is an American comedy-drama film released in 1997. Directed by Jill Sprecher, it stars Parker Posey, Lisa Kudrow, Toni Collette and Alanna Ubach as temporary office staffers in an office complex. The four become misfit friends in an office environment where they are ignored and mistrusted by their co-workers. Central to them all is Iris (Collette), a very mousy and quiet young professional who doesn't want to rock the boat. Margaret (Posey) is the polar opposite to Iris and a catalyst to help her change and speak up for herself. Paula (Kudrow) eagerly awaits post-work Happy Hours and the chance to hook up with the company's executives.Answered by Richie Rich, 03 Feb '09 08:36 am

The students weren't hurting themselves — in fact, they were so active at recess that they returned to class vibrant and motivated, ready to learn
'They left me no choice but to file a claim to get them to the table,' said mother Lynne Glover of the case, which seeks to ban dairy and eggs from the school
'If we don't think women should pay this price for having sex and we think motherhood shouldn't be forced on them … then a man, just because he had sex, shouldn't be penalized'
For kindergarten kids at Coghlan Fundamental Elementary School, tucked away in a remote rural area of Aldergrove, B.C., a new rule means games such as tag and even holding hands at recess are a no-no.
Italian police say they arrested four people who worked with a security company that charged tens of thousands of dollars to find children in contested custody cases
As critics fret about the distraction digital technology has wrought, moms and dads beg to be cut a little slack — life as a multitasking modern parent is hard
Increasingly, these activities are seen as a key ingredient in getting a young person into a good school and, hopefully, into a successful, happy, middle or upper-middle class life
The decision reflects the baffling new realities of reproductive technology, in which the old categories of mother and father no longer always fit, a law expert says
The symptoms of children who turned up at Denver's Children's Hospital included extreme sleepiness, difficulty in walking and lethargy
Generations ago, young mothers were the norm. But women's sustained entry into the workforce has made them a modern day anomaly

He's Our You will be a Sayid-centric episode (about time) and should prove to be quite interesting. With Sawyer in control and "thinking" about what to do next, I do not expect Sayid to wait around too long in his cell for Sawyer to figure it out. I think it's also safe to say we get more of creepy-kid Ben in this episode as well. The dynamic between Sayid and him should be compelling given the way that Sayid feels about Ben now.
ABC's Official Show Description
Spoiler Alert
"Things begin to unravel when one of the survivors goes rogue and takes matters into their own hands — risking the lives of everyone on the island"
The dialogue between Jack and Sawyer in last week's episode spells trouble for a jubilant reconciliation amongst the Oceanic 6 and those left behind, in my opinion. Three years is a long time and the situation has certainly been turned on its head, with Sawyer assuming the leadership role and Jack forced to essentially wait and see what happens next. In my opinion, that is one of the greatest components of Lost as a television series – the reality of the situation is that, in three years, much HAS changed as it relates to the interpersonal relationships within the characters on the show and the group cannot just pick up where things left off.

In almost 30 malls sprinkled across four states, Beauty Plus Salon beckons prospective makeover recipients with a fleet of skilled stylists and a colossal selection of professional beauty products. "The beauty industry never slows down," staffers say on Facebook, so "neither do we." That's why mall-goers find Beauty Salon open seven days a week. Between the retail shelves that average 500 nail polish colors, clients get gussied with services that pamper hair, skin, and nails.
Professional Barber Shop's flagship storefront has stood in downtown Hartford ever since 1927, remaining as a testament to a time when hot-lather shaves and shoe shines were routine. Now with three Connecticut locations, Professional Barber Shop stays true to that era by offering an array of gentlemen's grooming services and pamphlets touting the benefits of measles vaccines.
While sipping a cold drink or hot coffee, guests enjoy haircare treatments that toe the line between practicality and indulgence. Basic trims leave hairdos and beards looking well coiffed. Straight razors swipe through hot lather and shear away stubble before a cooling dollop of aftershave lotion. Gentlemen's facials in a 1920s style can indulge cheekbones with 3 Lucky Tigers massage creams and as many as 10 steaming towels. Once finished, guests can return home sporting a pair of freshly shined shoes and a timelessly dapper look.
The stylists at Hair Works Family Hair Care have seen it all. That comes with the territory when you work at a salon that caters to every member of the family?men, women, children, and Alfs. Their service menu is as varied as their client list; elite designer cuts transform shaggy manes into sleek hairdos, and professional keratin treatments straighten strands to make styling a cinch. Color retouches, highlights, and toners are also on the docket, as are permanent waves.
A classic barber pole is the first harbinger of Scott Anthony's Classic Barbershop's commitment to old-fashioned clipping techniques. Inside, clients lounge in large leather chairs in front of full-length mirrors and await an in-depth consultation to determine ideal hair length and rock star potential. Master barber and educator Scott Braga trims coifs into close-cropped cuts and fades, while Stephen Guillian renders jaw lines silky-smooth with soothing hot-towel shaves. The team wields their steel tools to create looks of any degree of difficulty, from shaved-in hair designs to distinguished whisker trims.
To provide natural rejuvenation for their clients, the staff members of Green Envy Salon & Spa's take a green approach when it comes to performing skin- and hair-care treatments. The team relies on biodegradable, botanically-derived Aveda products, which are processed using eco-friendly steam distillation as opposed to harsh chemical extractions. These products aid the stylists as they rejuvenate tresses by performing a variety of styling, coloring, and texturizing treatments that leave hairdos looking healthy and vibrant. Additionally, the spa can pamper visitors with its indulgent mani-pedis, therapeutic massage sessions, and revitalizing facial treatments. Even the decor?with its pastel green tones, taupe and mocha walls, and sentient plant life?reflects the spa's commitment to the earth.
At Defining Moments, owner J.R. Laliberte has expanded the salon services of the former Middlebury Hair Center by adding a full-service barbershop, a menu of spa services, and a team of Redken-certified stylists, nail technicians, and massage therapists that populate the shop seven days a week. Quaint white siding frames the black door that grants guests access to the salon, where hair must run a gauntlet of Redken products, scissors, razors, wax, and hot towels to be molded into chic bobs or perfectly sharpened handlebar moustaches. Defining Moments' mani-pedis keep nails looking like they just crawled out of a fashion magazine, and aches and pains melt into nothingness during Swedish, deep-tissue, hot-stone, and prenatal massages.

Product Review: Products for 'Rapid Cycling' of Marine Aquaria: Brightwell Aquatics' MicroBacter7 and Continuum Aquatics' BacterGen.M
Two products were tested under controlled conditions for their abilities to consume/convert carbon and nitrogen-based compounds (referred to as "cycling" by many hobbyists.) Results suggest that, at dosages recommended by the manufacturers, these products contain sufficient numbers of carbon-cycling bacteria to properly inoculate biochemical oxygen demand tests, and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria are present in numbers that can "seed" a sterile environment, and perhaps hasten the aerobic portion of the nitrogen cycle along by a few days when used as a supplement to conventional seeding via live rock, live sand, and hardy "starter" fishes. Potential problems with over-dosing are also discussed.
Tenji redefines "dive bar" with 7,500 gallon custom aquarium
A plant-less, coral-less aquarium isn't what we usually write about, but this unique build is a remarkable engineering achievement. And considering where it's located, it's probably a good idea it isn't filled with fussy livestock.
What's cooler than an underwater waterfall? How about two?
We've written about underwater "waterfalls" before, but this planted aquarium takes the concept up a notch. This 3 foot aquascape features not one but two full-height underwater "waterfalls."
Pachyseris inattesa is a new Red Sea stony coral
Pachyseris inattesa is the newest described species of 'elephant skin' coral. This new species has a smoother appearance than its congeners aquarists sometimes encounter. The best we can describe P.inattesa is a cross between Montipora verrucosa and Leptoseris sp. corals. (It's a good thing we have pictures!)
Might anti-anxiety medication help our fish?
Benzodiazepine is a class of drugs commonly used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders in humans. But research is finding that this type of drug has a surprising effect on fish. It decreases the mortality of fish fry, makes fish bolder and more active, and feed with more vigor. Is psychoactive medication the next frontier for aquarists and breeders?
Beautiful 1930s Art Deco Aquarium up for grabs on eBay
For $6500 USD (OBO), you can own a piece of aquarium history. This 31 gallon antique aquarium features amenities you will never see in any modern aquarium such as back-lit stained glass, beveled glass details, iron stand and frame, and marble base. They sure don't make them like they used to.

Let's all welcome the first Madagascar Clownfish baby born in captivity! Breeding a rare species of clownfish has been a goal of mine for many years, and it seems fitting that after 7 batches and thousands of eggs I was able to achieve this with an 'N' of one!
Discovery has REALLY jumped the shark this year
Remember the days when Discovery channel produced educational programming? This year's Shark Week has proven the network has completely abandoned quality content to pander for ratings. To think: Advanced Aquarist once promoted Shark Week.
Fritz will manufacture and distribute Mardel aquarium products
Texas-based Fritz Aquatics has reached an agreement with Sergeants Pet Care Products to both manufacture and distribute the popular Mardel chemical/pharmaceutical brand (a product line that includes Maracyn and CopperSafe, which most aquarists have used). Fritz provides Advanced Aquarist with their press release.
Two new cory cats for 2014
This isn't exactly breaking news, but no aquarist publication AFAWK reported about these two Corydoras spp. described earlier this year. And we know how much freshwater aquarists adore cories.
Toledo Zoo Fish Health Q&A: Gas Bubble Disease
Dr. Jafarey, staff veterinarian at the Toledo Zoo, answers why an aquarist may experience massive fish die-off with symptoms of swollen eyes and abnormal buoyancy.
Study reveals orange-spotted filefish have VERY selective coral diet
The orange-spotted filefish/harlequin filefish is one of the most beautiful, weirdly shaped and colorful reef fish available to marine aquarists. Once thought of as strict coral-eaters, bold reefkeepers have attempted this species in reef tanks with mostly positive experiences. A new research may explain why.
Tropical herbivores are mowing down temperate kelp forests
I'm sure this thought has crossed many reefkeepers' minds who live close to the ocean: How cool would it be to have a tropical reef nearby? Careful what we wish for. Many studies show coral reefs and their fish are moving poleward. A new study shows tropical fish are making quick work of temperate kelp forests.
Tropical fish may have the most delicate lil' hearts
Scientists studying fishes' response to warming water temperatures discovered tropical fish may have the toughest time coping. Tropical wrasses had the narrowest thermal range and able to only tolerate a few degrees of temperature shift before heart failure.

Legendary actor, singer, author, philanthropist, and force of nature William Shatner captains generations of fans on a warp-speed ride through seven decades of his wild career in How Time Flies: An Evening with William Shatner. A fixture of television more vital than the remote control, Shatner has owned acreage in the hearts, minds, and living rooms of fans since the times of phaser prohibition. Best known for his seminal roles as James Tiberius Kirk, T.J. Hooker, and Boston Legal's Denny Crane, Shatner's inimitable chops, charming machismo, and genuine love of his fan base permeates this special evening of memoirs and bon mots. During the show, the unparalleled Renaissance man enchants audiences with his live autobiography, recanting Star Trek secrets, Esperanto anecdotes, and possible dirt about Adrian Zmed, gifting the audience with his unique singing skills between orations of memories and monologues.
Shiatsu and LaStone therapist of Transense Healing Arts Holistic Centre employs two distinct therapy treatments to help clients reduce pain and discomfort. She uses her knuckles, thumbs, palms, knees, and elbows as instruments of relaxation, drawing from shiatsu techniques and Japanese-style acupressure to pinpoint and expunge stress. Alternatively, she uses heated basalt rocks formed from volcanic lava during LaStone therapy, loosening up knotted muscles.
Her experience stems back to the Aveda Institute in Victoria, B.C., where she graduated from in 1998 in esthetics. Since 2000, she has added LaStone therapy to her repertoire, which allows her to stimulated the autonomic nervous system and increase oxygen in the body. Her subsequent interest in shiatsu led her to Shiatsu School of Canada, which enables her to continue her journey of educational growth through her daily practice.

I love the hometown feeling. It's so calm and relaxing then hotels on the strip. Next trip im booking at the M. Rooms, restaurants, gambling and entertainment are great.
Sports book is amazing
Everything in the hotel was just perfect. It was great being away from the hustle and bustle of the strip
Nothing. Everything was great From the food to the comfort of the room.
Spacious room, very nice bathroom with deep tub and shower, room service was prompt and courteous as were all staff
No robes supplied. We'd just come from the Hyatt in Scottsdale where robes just gave that extra touch of luxury
service-bellhops, checkin, shuttle all were fine food at Pasta Bar was excellent sports book was very good
Xtra cost for gym Xtra cost for Wi-Fi Walls were not soundproof Friday buffet was expensive No fridge in room
The staff was great! The food was great! The room was great!
An amazing experience. Modern, spacious & relaxing. I recommend to stay at this hotel. The casino is spacious & great. The hotel is far from the strip (which was a good thing).
The main pool was closed for the season (november) and the other pool was not open before 10 am (a bit late).
Location was excellent for our needs. Staff was very attentive. Excellent bike, running path just out the door.
I'm not a gambler, so I avoided the smoke in the casino.
It felt very luxurious for the price. Beautiful property.
Gorgeous property, excellent staff, beautiful views, good casino. The room was very quiet despite being close to the elevator.
Feeling of captivity manifested by high coffee cost. For travelers who do not require daily room cleaning, there were few towels.
The hotel is big enough to have everything, but is small enough so you don't feel overwhelmed.
The room could have been a little cleaner. The attention to details that we saw on previous stays wasn't there this time. Breakfast service was slow.
It was a mistake when I clicked on the reservation. I didn't realize that it was not the hotel where my seminar is going to be held. Fortunately I bought the whole family and had a wonderful experience. The hotel was so amazing... We love the Eco concept , the view was spectacular and the room was so sleek...we are now planning to come and stay again at the same hotel for our next vegas trip ...!
The entrance of the hotel was a little bit of a challenge to find... We entered the lateral side instead but it worked well after that ...
The overall feel of this unique Boutique
Shower drain clogged
This place was awesome. They upgraded me to an incredibly suite, I had a beautiful view of the mountains and expansive room. Hotel was gorgeous, staff was nice, I really enjoyed my spa time and it was an incredible value all around.
Hotel is gorgeous, very new, big beautiful rooms. Bath view on the Strip (ok far away, but it was nice view). Very clean rooms. Loved the shower with strong water pressure to get shampoo and conditioner out! No outside streetnoise. I do recommend to people who dont care for the strip and just want to relax in the hotel.
No free wifi anywhere in hotel! Pillows on the bed were to stuffed so i slept without pillow every night but that was okey due to good matrass. at check in tried to get a complimentary upgrade but no luck. The hotel is far from the strip (about 15 min drive). Also no restaurants near hotel where u can get wifi. The no free wifi anywhere in hotel and the far drive to the strip made us decide not to return to this hotel in the future.
Clean, looks good, great pool and best buffet in Las Vegas. Rooms are clean and large with a good layout. The soaking tub was great after a long day. Every room has a view.
Our check is was not as smooth as we would have liked. We had to stay in a smoking room for a night til the non smoking was available. They apologized with a hand written letter but that didn't remove the faint stink of smoke from the room.
Loved our room (great value) and the restaurants served excellent food!
Booked non smoking room an got room that reeked of smoke. Was told this was all that was available. Had booked room one month in advance.
It's very clean and very quiet and the front desk are very nice!
Too many old people the elevator was starting to smell like bengay..if you stay there your best bet is to rent a car there shuttle service isn't worth a flip.
The whole expierience at the M was wonderful from check in to check out worthy of 5 stars in our view! and we have stayed in hotels all across the world.
I'm a smoker and did not know that smoking was even allowed in the casino because the air was so clean smelling.
Price a little high but I would stay again
I like the quality of the hotel room and breakfast

Sixty five local law enforcement, emergency personnel and tow truck drivers attended Traffic Incident Management training conducted by the State Patrol Monday evening, August 25. They learned best practices in blocking traffic in case of an accident, the best way to move around the scene of an accident as well as the recommended way to clear an accident.

A word from Monti's Rotisserie & Bar
Located in the Montgomery Village Shopping Center, Monti's welcomes you with its rustic Mediterranean ambiance. In addition to different nightly specials from the large wood-fired rotisserie, including CK Leg of Lamb and Liberty Farms Lavender Roasted Duck, Monti's menu offers both small and big plates that feature fresh local meats and seasonal produce. Also available are pizzas, pastas, salads and a selection of items from the raw bar. The well stocked wine cellar offers an extensive selection of wines, all available by the glass and there is a full bar. It's no surprise that this warm and inviting restaurant has become a neighborhood favorite since it opened in the summer of 2004. Patio dining is available.Continued

- The food was generally ok.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/23/2014Our salads were really boring, the lettuce in my caesar salad was slightly bitter and the pieces were not bite sized and had to be cut in thirds. My wife's Monti Cristo was actually very good, but my hamburger was marginal. The bacon was not crisp and it was certainly not worth $13. Our servers were attentive and very nice and the ambience was great. But it is really hard to recommend only because there was nothing that stood out enough to to want to share with anybody.
- Lovely mealOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/1/2014My friend and I enjoyed a pleasant evening dining outdide on the patio. It was a chilly evening but we were comfortable and cozy with the heaters and Monti's blankets to sit on and wrap around our laps. The food was great- we ate lightly splitting a Cobb salad and each having their fabulous wild mushroom soup with truffle oil, and topped it off with out if this world "butterscotch" pudding with crumbled ginger snaps. A lovely meal!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food and ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 10/31/2014We met my brother for dinner and it was all of our first time at Monti's. What a great place. Our waiter was great and the food was wonderful. We will be back.Special Features:
- Always a pleasureOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/20/2014We've been here many times and it is always an enjoyable experience. Great good, quality service, and a wine country atmosphere. We'll be back many more times, I'm sure.Special Features:
- Attentive wait staff & good food!foodies2Dined on 10/17/2014My birthday lunch was a hit at Monti's. Michelle was a super server; food was fresh, wine - a great rose suggestion. We'll be back!Special Features:
- Gotta love that pigthesupperDined on 10/16/2014Three of the four in our party ordered the suckling pig and, as usual, it did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this special.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/14/2014We had a great time, our server was the best the food was fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedMzDazeeDined on 10/2/2014As this being one of our "go to spots", at least once a month, I was extremely disappointed in the over experience. Not on my go to list for the newt group gathering.Special Features:
- A NEIGHBORHOOD GEMFlashDined on 9/29/2014Always reliable and has a wonderful menu. When guests come out of town we go, when we don't want to cook that night, we go and we never seem to be disappointed. It has been our go-to place for years now. Go. You will not be disappointedSpecial Features:
- Neighborhood GemFlashDined on 9/22/2014Monti"s is always consistent in quality and service. The menu does not change very often, but they do have a daily special, but you can always count on Monti"s to be there when you want a very good meal. Cost is about $ 81.00 for a couple including one glass of wine, tax and tip. Go and enjoySpecial Features:
- Mauihaoles123VIPDined on 9/6/2014Monti's continues to have very good food and are glad to see a new menu. As good as the old one was, we had it nearly memorized, and that got boring. So, will continue going. Good even for dinner and it's in a small upscale shopping center.Special Features:
- DependableKtLassDined on 8/29/2014You can always count on Monti's for a solid meal. A menu that will satisfy the foodie and those picky eaters as well. The wait staff is beyond wonderful. Never have had a negative experience at Monti's which is why its good for a drop in every few months.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Noise levelhomegirlDined on 8/26/2014Despite making an early reservation our table was too close to the kitchen noise. To further raise the noise level a rather large group that included two infants an a toddler was seated at an adjacent table. At that point I asked to be moved to a different table and my request was honored. It tool a few minutes to get us completely settled at our new location. The food is superb and it is always a good meal at Monti's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect!RAofSRVIPDined on 8/24/2014We had a great meal at this little local Stark restaurant. Our server Paul was fantastic, very friendly and hospitable, he kept smiles on our face and our wine glasses full! The mac n' cheese was uber creamy and the crunch from the bread crumbs brought it together nicely. Our entrees were excellent, my lamb burger was cooked perfectly and her scallops were so fresh and tender, so pleased with our selections. We will surely be back soon :)Special Features:
- Fun2BthereDined on 8/23/2014Was pleased to see how responsive staff was to special dietary needs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasantly surprisedOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/20/2014I was slightly nervous to bring my mother and our friend here since he can be a bit picky, and the yelp reviews weren't stellar, yelp was WRONG! Krista O. was our server and was very attentive, friendly and had a great sense of humor, (as a server I appreciate this.) I felt no sort if irritation when I asked to put our bottle of wine on a separate ticket as this can sometimes be difficult depending on the restaurants set up. Both my mother and our friend had the hanger which they were pleased with and I gave Krista the option of halibut or salmon, she chose salmon for me and promptly was by my side explaining her choice after our food had arrived. I will return again and will be requesting Krista as our server!Special Features:
- Always Better at the BarDustin21Dined on 8/17/2014I love Monti's. A lot. LOL I go here often, sometimes I have binges where I hit this join up multiple times a week. However, when I got to the bar with my woman the service is the best. Extremely great service... at the bar. When I sit else where in the restaurant I receive low quality service. I am not sure what goes on with management where their is a disconnect in communication, but honestly its god awful every time I've sat at a table. The food is great, the drinks are great, the dessert is great. Bar service, incredible. Table service, dirt on the ground.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 08/14/14FriendsDined on 8/14/2014Made a OpenTable lunch reservation over a week in advance requesting nice table. Upon arriving there were really nice location tables with reserved signs but I was given a run of the mill table that had no reserved sign on it. Why make a reservation?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tasty eatsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/12/2014Tasty eats and good amicable service-nice environment and easy parkingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Casual dining for foodie @ heartMaitePlusXaqDined on 8/8/2014Monti's was a stellar find. It represents both classic Italian and contemporary American cuisine. We recommend the butcher's board for to begin with which will leave any meat lover pleased. Suprisingly the farro salad with the salmon main was not the obmination you normally expect when someone makes a farro salad, in fact, it was a stellar representation of the grain's capabilities. The raviollini was a pasta dish should be the sauce could easily stands alone and in fact did. Leave room for dessert: refreshing sorbet for the lactards and a truly unique lemon tart for the rest. Great food, great service, great find in Sonoma!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Creative Locavore FooddparkinsonVIPDined on 8/8/2014Sonoma County has such great availability to great produce and protein, it's great when a restaurant makes good use of what's available. We had a very nice dinner on the patio. The veal chop from the rotisserie was delicious with sort of tarragon gremolata on top and the incredibly decadent and yummy cheesy mushroom potatoes. But be careful to ask how large the serving is. We both ordered the same thing but it was so large we could have split it and been comfortably full. The chop, however, was tender and flavorful. I highly recommend a visit to Monti's when you're in Santa Rosa.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lunch at Monti'sWilliams700Dined on 8/8/2014We (3) had a wonderful lunch at Monti's last Friday. So good, great service from our wait person. We couldn't have asked for anything more. A very enjoyable afternoon with 2 friends. I had the grilled pulled lamb with humus sandwich. It came with a small green salad. ($14.00) I highly recommend it. We decide to eat inside, but they have a very nice outside area, too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great GF ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/2/2014The gluten free food here is great. Love the seperate me u and the GF brew and hamburger buns. The server replaced the ice cream in the peach sundae with coconut sorbet for my son and he loved it! They served the cookie on a seperate plate for his brotherSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently GoodFlashDined on 8/2/2014Neighborhood Gem that is Consistently Good. Menu never changes except for one chef special.Special Features:
- The following 511 reviews are from the Monti's Rotisserie & Bar reviews archive.
- Always great!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/30/2014We live in the neighborhood and go to Monti's at least once a month or more. Food is always good, I had the Lamb special from the rotisserie and it was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding small platesTapasLover3Dined on 7/25/2014The flat bread with hummus was the best I have ever eaten. The olives and feta just rally set it off. The Calamari also was spectacular. The lemon aoli was delicious and was surprised. Normally I make aoli with more garlic, but this was just as good as my own.Special Features:
- Great Spot in Santa RosaSpartycalDined on 7/25/2014Another great meal on Friday night at Monti's. Great, fast service, helpful staff, and great wine selections by the glass. And as always, each of our food selections was outstanding.Special Features:
- Very Good but Nothing NewFlashDined on 7/25/2014Monti's is always good, but they are sitting on their past and I am getting bored of the food. They need to breathe some new life in the kitchen. What they prepare is very good and consistent, but I have not seen anything new on this menu for a long, long time. They also own willie's wine bar and they should move the chefs around to bring something new to the menu. God only knows that they have the best ingredients in the world to choose from and the farmers markets are in Santa Rosa offer a cornucopia of great ingredients, but this kitchen is running on automatic and is using only some of them. Wake up kitchen, wake up.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not as good as it used to beKTdinesDined on 7/19/2014I used to come here and get consistently good food. My last few visits have been less than stellar. This time the salmon was not cooked properly. It was completely coated in chili powder (not a great flavor) and appeared to be grilled over a flame that was way too high, making it charred on the outside and rare on the inside. The chicken was a bit overcooked as well. The side veggie dish with sweet corn and squash was delicious and the best part of the meal.Special Features:
- The BESTMzDazeeDined on 7/12/2014We have found Monte's has the BEST calomari in town!!! Looking forward to trying the skillet shrimp next time... Looked delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mac and cheese not authentic, saltyOntheFenceDined on 7/11/2014I've eaten at the sister restaurants, Willis Raw Seafood Bar in Healdsburg and Willis Wine Bar in Santa Rosa. Willis in Healdsburg seemed to decline in their quality over the years. I was anxious to see how Monti's sized up. I didn't go all out on the food. Ordered the mac and cheese, something I never eat but do like. And their baby greens salad with candied walnuts. The salad leaves weren't that fresh, the candied walnuts tasted as though they'd been made some time ago and the mac and cheese was very salty. They use white cheddar, I prefer the orange cheddar. The menu said bacon, it was ham that was very fatty. It was seasoned with nutmeg, overkill. It was my 1st time and I'd consider giving it another try. Outdoor seating was very nice.Special Features:
- Neighborhood GemEricVIPDined on 6/25/2014This neighborhood gem of a restaurant serves great food with excellent service. There is one consistent daily special for each day of the week; Wednesday is roast leg of lamb and is an excellent value as well as being delicious. Outdoor dining (with heaters) is generally quiet while indoors the scene tends to be livelier. Good wine list, but not extensive selection. It's a go-to place for us.Special Features:
- TimSherryDined on 6/22/2014This experience was a bit of a disappointment. My "Monti Cristo" was burned, but the kitchen still sent it out. My wife was disappointed with her biscuits and gravy. We both felt let down because, based on recommendations, we had expected something much better. Our server, however, was extremely nice, helpful, and prompt.
- Great Fun and FoodGFMargaretDined on 6/21/2014My friends and I reserved an outside table for lunch to watch the music event on the outdoor stage. The music was loud, but that was to be expected from a rock band. Even though the restaurant was extremely busy, the service was outstanding. There is a gluten-free menu if you ask for it. It is a full menu with numerous options. I had the spinach salad that was so flavorful and filling. The server did not rush us through the meal and we sat for two hours enjoying the music, food, and iced tea. I frequently go to Monti's for dinner because of the extensive gluten-free menu, and I was equally impressed with this lunch experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Memorable food and service!LindylouDined on 6/20/2014The needs of our party of six ranged all over the menu, and nothing disappointed! From the succulent raw oysters, to broiled veal chops and wood-fired pizza, to the decadent dessert-- we enjoyed all of the dishes! Our waitress was so well-acquainted with the menu, and her descriptions so detailed, we had a great time ordering and discovering the unique preparations the chef was able to create.Special Features:
- Perfectly prepared delicious foodJanknitzDined on 6/17/2014I had the coffee braised lamb dish and it was spectacular! The meat was fall off the bone tender, and the cheesey corn fritter was So good! Crispy and flavorful on the outside, oozing with sot cheese. Service was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food not up to par for amount paidHottyDined on 6/15/2014Wait service could have been much better. Waiter was not as attentive to requests as I would have liked.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The full MontiJoeCasualDined on 6/13/2014Internet reservations were honored flawlessly. Service was friendly, efficient and attentive. Lunch menu had something for everyone (3 generations). Appetizers were eclectic, from wings to flat bread with hummus, shrimp platter and calamari to roasted beets. Presentation was artistic, portions were generous and service was very attentive from bussers to servers. We'll be back….Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reliably good experienceDavidDined on 6/12/2014The food is usually done well, tasty. Service is good. A bit noisy for my taste but the food and service make up for that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Monti's in Santa RosaSFBayAreaKnowsDined on 6/6/2014This hidden gem is not far from the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. The staff is very friendly and accomodating; the bartender made great cocktails, and our server was excellent. The menu has a great selection of meat, fish, poultry, and veg choices. We ordered Dungeness crabcakes for our appetizer--the best I've ever had! The beef shortrib rigatoni was rich and scrumptious. For me, it was enough for three meals! Reminiscing about the Monte Cristo sandwich at The Elegant Farmer (1960s-70s Jack London Square, Oakland), my friend ordered their Monti Cristo. Although it didn't measure up to The Elegant Farmer's sandwich, it was tasty nonetheless. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The band's moniker is a reference to the jacket of an old hardback book, and front man Conan Zimmerman is an avid reader of literary legends like Salinger, Hemingway, and Chekhov. It's no surprise, then, that Dust Jacket's poetic lyrics stand out like Bob Dylan next to that first, infamous amplifier: "I'm the chimney that remains/Once the house is lost to flame/My façade is cracked and blackened/But my bricks are still in place" ("FEMA"); "There's a family in the lot living in their Dodge/And preachers sipping paper sacks 'til they see God/Fall on their knees to puke or pray/Sing a hymn and pass the plate" ("Greyhound Hours"). Musically, the Phoenix quintet sounds sort of like Bright Eyes, with a more stripped-down, lo-fi feel. All five of the songs on the EP are acoustic guitar- or piano-based, and the compositions are catchy but simple. The sound of crackling vinyl at the beginning and end of the CD is a nice touch. It'll be interesting to see what this promising band produces on its impending full-length.

Dierks Bentley wrapped the first leg of his 2014 RISER TOUR with his 9th Annual Miles & Music For Kids event raising $335,479 for Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, notching the event's biggest donation to date.
"I'm still coming down from the high of such an unbelievable last run of shows on the summer leg of this tour," said Bentley. "The fans in Cincy, Cleveland and Indianapolis were ready to close out their summer in a big way. Then we got back to Nashville, and I was totally blown away by the outpouring of support we got for this year's 'Miles & Music.' This little event we started nine years ago has taken on a life of its own. I feel like I'm just a small part of this thing. It has really become about country music fans and bikers coming together to help our community and those kids. It's incredible."
Joining Dierks in the cause were tourmates Jon Pardi and Chris Young. Kip Moore and Randy Houser also made appearances to entertain the massive crowd. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, and the crowd was loud, singing along with all the hits from the artists including "Beer Money," "Boots On," "Awe Naw," and of course all of Dierks' hits.

All such decisions are inherently political. Politicians can come up with a formula based on an objective set of numbers – but which numbers they choose, and what they do with them, will always be a matter of judgement.
The solution to London's housing crisis lies in building on the Home Counties, and we need a pressure group to make that happen. Anyone want to chuck the Campaign for the Promotion of Residential England a few quid?
The World Innovation Summit for Education awards $500,000 to the most innovative teacher - but British attitudes toward education mean that it's unlikely to ever be awarded to a teacher from the UK.
Last year, there were more than 700,000 homes in England standing empty. Finally, something is being done about it.
The "a spokesman said" formulation serves mostly to allow institutions to issue statements that no actual human would make.
There is a vast range of stuff involving taxpayers' money that taxpayers aren't actually allowed to know. Why?
If the Potter series author owned her own news outlet, she could change the mood music of British politics.

To The End Lyrics - Blur
Review The Song (1)
All these dirty words
They make us look so dumb
Been drinking far too much
And neither of us mean what we say
Well you and I
Collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it, yes it looks like we've made it to the end
What happened to us
Soon it will be gone forever
Infatuated only with ourselves
And neither of us can think straight anymore

floor coverings concepts for basements washroom. The basement isn't the most common, or the most crucial area in your home. Ceramic tiling is the greatest choice for basements. Hardwood flooring do appearance stunning, but the issue is they will get wrecked if moisture content packages in, until you use hardwood floor coverings that has been designed especially for basements. Other option is to utilize vinyl floors. You'll have to treat your plumbing related along with the entire restroom design with additional care if you're getting a restroom that works properly. Nevertheless, building a home restroom is something that you can do by yourself, if you possess the right abilities and data.
Naturally, if your developing features a empty listed below the quantity of your basement, no water pump at all will likely be required. If it's beneath the amount of the home floor, you'll have zero difficulty constructing a home bathroom the regular way. One way to know if your drainage is underneath the home ground level is that if your cellar has surface drain pipes for easy cleaning.toko brankas. It's a smart idea to draw out your proposed home toilet prior to talk with the plumber. Developing a basement restroom is a great idea for virtually every residence, and when you know the set-up of your home and what you need, it won't be also challenging. Home washrooms can be set up in the same way just like any other restroom by incorporating wrinkles. Basement restrooms can be quite a true pain inside the the neck and throat without the appropriate insulation. Basements bath rooms are probable, but be prepared for a substantial undertaking. Washrooms on top floors usually have significantly less traffic. Basement washrooms can be quite a genuine method to obtain mildew and mildew accumulation.
Thoroughly clean the toilet regularly and effectively ventilate your room therefore the moisture content doesn't are able to gather. Stopped porcelain tile basement ceilings are easier to set up, remarkably cost-effective, in addition to their easily removed ceramic tiles let ongoing use of HVAC channels, plumbing and wires. Putting in a basement toilet is a great idea, and it also pays back by itself by 80Per cent or higher as soon as the home is offered.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.The Dallas Mavericks will have several important decisions to make Thursday that will shape their immediate future when the NBA holds its annual draft at 6 p.m. from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.The Mavericks own the 13th selection of the first round of the draft, and top management is in constant talks about what it wants to do with the pick. Because the Mavericks — who also have the No. 44th pick — haven't drafted any players lately who have had a strong impact in the NBA, some believe they might be better served by trading the pick.Still, a slew of players made their way to American Airlines Center for pre-draft workouts, including Syracuse point guard Michael Carter-Williams, German point guard Dennis Schroeder and Gonzaga center Kelly Olynyk. They are hoping to be around to help Dirk Nowitzki win a second NBA title before he retires.Here are three things the Mavericks can do with the No. 13th pick:1Keep the pickThere's nothing wrong with keeping this pick, especially because it's a lottery selection and normally a player who could be involved in the Mavericks' rotation. But the coach, system and whether that team is on a NBA championship fast track, all could play a role in how many minutes that player is able to secure early in his career. The No. 13 picks over the past five years are Kendall Marshall, Markieff Morris, Ed Davis, Tyler Hansbrough and Brandon Rush.2Trade the pickThe Mavericks are open about possibly trading at No. 13. That way they could use the extra funds to have more salary cap space to pursue soon-to-be Los Angeles Lakers free agent center Dwight Howard. The most the Mavericks can offer Howard is a four-year, $88 million contract, while he can fetch a five-year, $118 million deal only if he re-signs with the Lakers. The Lakers could help Howard leave town with a sign and trade deal, but why would they do that?3Think foreignIf the Mavericks don't want to have the No. 13 pick count against their salary cap this season, they should draft a foreign player and let him play a few years overseas until his game progresses. The best of the foreign players include German point guard Dennis Schroeder (6-2, 19 years old), Russian small forward Sergey Karasev (6-7, 19 years old), Brazilian center Lucas Nogueira (7-foot, 20 years old), Greece small forward Giannis Adetokunbo (6-9, 18 years old), and French center Rudy Gobert (7-2, 20 years old).

Billionaire Warren Buffett's investment philosophy is anything but typical. Known as one of the greatest investors in the world, the frugal philanthropist has often done things his own way. His down to earth style is reflected in his investment approach, as well as in the way he lives the rest of his life.
Buffett's unique approach to investing can be described by the following attributes.
Value Investing
Simply put, Buffett looks for deals. When purchasing stock, Buffett looks for shares that are less than it seems the market should bear. This approach to investing is called value investing, and was a method advocated by Benjamin Graham, one of Buffett's earliest influences and mentors.
Deals Not Yet Recognized by the Market
Value investors, like Buffett, are the bargain shoppers of the stock world. Buffett looks for stocks that appear to have great potential, but are still undervalued by the market and therefore underpriced. However, Buffett is less concerned with whether the stock market will eventually drive the worth of these investments up and more concerned with the inherent worth of these investments.
Emphasis on the Company Rather than Perceived Market Worth
When Buffett chooses a stock, he cares little about the effect of the stock market on the future value of the investment. Buffett is interested in the intrinsic value of the investment, and to determine that value, he studies the company. Rather than focusing on market trends, Buffett studies company fundamentals.
Long Term Ownership in Quality Companies – Buffett's Criteria
Buffett's stocks are picked with company ownership in mind. Buffett considers several indicators of a healthy company. Is the company providing a healthy return on investment for investors? Is the ratio of debt to equity for the company low? Are profit margins on the rise? Has the company been in business and public for at least 10 years? Does the company offer a product that its competitors cannot replicate?
The Key – Determining Whether Stock is Undervalued
Key to Buffett's strategy is determining whether a good stock is undervalued by 25 percent. Once Buffet has analyzed the company fundamentals, he compares his determination of the company's intrinsic value with the company's actual current market worth. If Buffett determines that the company's intrinsic value is at least 25 percent greater than the company's actual worth, then the stock is considered a good value.
Buffett's phenomenal success is largely due to his determination of a company's intrinsic value. Intrinsic value is difficult to measure and few have succeeded in replicating Buffett's success.
Investing Rather than Speculating
Buffett considers his approach investing, rather than speculating, and makes a distinction between the two. Speculating focuses on what someone will pay for an investment in the future. Investing, as Buffett defines it, focuses on what the investment will produce. Buffett concentrates on his definition of investment, always shaping his strategy by the worth of the investment.
Researching and Taking Time
Unlike investors who buy and sell quickly, Buffett takes his time researching stock. Buffett is not concerned with the daily fluctuations of the market. He prefers to take a long term approach, holding onto carefully selected investments and backing his buying and selling timing with detailed research.
Never Borrow Money
Buffett claims to have never have permanently lost more than 2 percent of personal worth in an investment position. To that end, he advocates never borrowing money to make an investment. In a market fluctuation, losses could deplete your worth.
Concentration for Experts; Diversification for the Average Investor with Little Time
According to Buffett, if you're an expert or professional investor, with plenty of time to study markets and companies, then concentrate your investing in selected positions. If you're an average person with an hour or less to devote to investing on a weekly basis, Buffett recommends investing in an index fund using dollar cost averaging (investing a set amount, regularly, over a long period of time). Buffett and his partner generally invest in five positions at any time.
Buffett has stated that his approach is not for everyone. It doesn't provide the instant excitement of trying to guess daily stock trends; it doesn't promise getting rich quickly. Buffett's approach requires patience, study, and has potential for success over time.
|U.S. Treasury Bond
A "U.S. Treasury bond" or "T-bond" is a debt obligation issued by the U.S. government, having a maturity of more than 10 years. They exist either as paper certificates or as electronic entries in an account.
T-bonds are issued with a minimum denomination of $1,000. The price and interest rate is determined at auction and the price may be greater than, less than, or equal to the bond's par (face value). Interest is paid semi-annually and the income that the bondholders receive is exempt from state and local taxes. T-bonds have the longest maturity of any bond issued by the U.S. Treasury, from 10 to 30 years. The 30-year bonds are also called "long bonds." Individuals may purchase T-bonds through a broker or directly from the U.S. government at www.treasurydirect.gov.

VIDEO: Elie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2013
Elie Saab | Haute Couture Spring Summer 2013 by Elie Saab
About Elie Saab:
Self-taught Lebanese designer Elie Saab has long been a leading name in haute couture in the Middle East, where his romantic, crystal-encrusted gowns attracted princesses to his Beirut atelier, opened in 1982 when he was just 18 years old. His ready-to-wear line, which launched in 1998 in Milan, heralds the same feminine aesthetic as his couture dresses, with brightly colored silks, chiffons, pearl beading, and embroidered lace. With their Middle Eastern detailing and European sensibility, Saab gowns are also at home on the Hollywood red carpet; Halle Berry famously wore one to pick up her Academy Award in 2002.

YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan — Denver Broncos fan Petty Officer Eric Douglas was depressed to see his team beaten so badly in the Super Bowl. But he had a couple of consolation prizes.
First, he got to meet several NFL players who were visiting Yokosuka Naval Base to hang out with sailors during the Super Bowl, which aired live Monday morning in Japan.
"It's not every day you get to meet NFL players and get autographs," Douglas said. "And I won a Super Bowl sweater for trivia, so that made it better."
Former Green Bay Packers fullback William Henderson went from venue to venue during the game, along with Packers players Greg Van Roten and Brad Jones, Cardinals player Justin Bethel and Packers head athletic trainer Pepper Burruss. They signed autographs and had their photos taken with fans along the way.
"This isn't about sightseeing or tourism. We're here to meet the enlisted men and women who are actually serving," Henderson said. "We are privileged to be here today."
During half-time, the players met with the sailors at the Single Sailor Liberty Center, where Henderson competed in and brutally lost a chicken wing-eating contest. Petty Officer Nathan Zaffke from the USS George Washington was the winner.
Henderson spoke about his defeat in a mock press conference tone afterward.
"I tried to put my best into it. I gave it my all but I will say the better man won. He was willing to put mouth to wing and make it happen. I could do nothing but sit back and marvel at his capacity to chow down, appreciating every facet of the wing," he said.
Zaffke credited his win to experience.
"I've done the 'Blazin' Challenge' at Buffalo Wild Wings," he said.
