Meet the Team
- We would like to extend a big thanks for helping us sell our house!!! We had our house FSBO for 6mo. with not one call. We contacted Victor and he made a few recommendations. Once the upgrades were completed we had a contract on our house within a month. Victor represented us and our home with great pride. God Bless.
Mike & Angie B.
- Scotty and I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we appreciate the work you did to help sell our home. We still cannot believe how quickly and efficiently things were handled. In a matter of twelve days we had seventeen showings and three offers! Thank you for your hard work. We are also more than happy with the new home that you found for us. We have truely enjoyed making the changes that would fit our design taste. We wanted something that we could slowly work on and we have had so much fun! Pretty soon we will be bringing home our second child and we are so glad to have the extra space that we have here.
Scotty & Jillian P.
- Thank you for everything Victor. You have done a wonderful job getting our home sold. We appreciate your diligence and great work ethic.
Kevin & Tameka L.
- After meeting with Victor and receiving a thorough explanation of what to expect, I felt confident that I had found the right real estate agent. I was able to count on Victor's professional demeanor and aptitude through out preparing my home for sale, financing, inspections and even the purchase of a new home. I have a crazy work schedule and Victor showed me home after home, some homes more than once. He never lost patience or expected me to settle for less than I wanted. I now have a home that I love and will enjoy for a long time! I really feel blessed to have, had an agent that not only knew the area well, but was able to help me in every aspect of my real estate experience. I will truly recommend him to everyone in need of a real estate professional! Thank you again Victor!
Laura L.
- This letter is to commend Victor Amadi for the fantastic job he did helping us sell our house. We were in a situation where we felt like we had no way out. From the moment we contacted Victor, he was ready to answer any questions we had and explained every part of the process to us clearly. He gave us 100% of his attention and worked tirelessly by meeting us and potential buyers promptly.We were always kept up to date with the current situation by phone or email. Victor Amadi did an exceptional job, and is very knowledgeable in the short sale field. We recommend Victor to anyone who is needing a dedicated real estate agent to get the job done. Thanks for all your help!
Holly & Travis P.
- On behalf of my wife and me, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your hard work and dedication with our new home purchase. From the first time we met at an open house, we knew you were going to be the one to help us find our dream home and make it happen. Your professionalism, knowledge, and dedication are second to none. You did a wonderful job for us, and I have all intentions of recommending you to all my friends who are searching for homes of their own. When there was a question asked, you answered. When there was a concern I had, you expressed your honest opinion and you were always true to your words. Once again, thank you so very much for all you have done for us. We look forward to seeing you and your wife at our house warming party soon.
Richard C.
- I cannot begin to thank you enough for your hard work and perseverence with the negotiations. I think it made it all the more special for us to have you on our side. If you don't mind, I would like to keep you posted on the progress of our renovation process. Both Katie and I have already discussed having you and your family over once things are completed.
Eric B.
- I just wanted to thank you for your hard work and dilligence in helping my wife and I secure our first home. Every step was incredible. Victor, we are grateful for your level of sacrifice in the beginning stages, offering us a choice of a wide variety of homes that not only fit our budget concerns but even provide more than what we expected. You have made the journey very efficient yet effective. You jumped through very important hoops and stood the ground all the way through closing. If anyone ever needs a person that will work on your behalf, a person that knows the real estate business and establishes and secures trustworthy contacts, talk to Victor Amadi. I am confident that when I get other opportunities to buy more real estate, I am going to come looking for you Victor.
Charles & Teresa R.
- I can not thank you enough for the long hours you spent helping me find a home. Your perseverance, integrity and patience is truly amazing as well as admirable. You continued to believe that the perfect house would come along for me and it eventually did after many months of searching. Thanks for not getting discouraged with me and my careful selection in a home. Should any of my family and friends need a home, I will definitely recommend you with my highest regards.
Kristi P.
- I just wanted to thank you for your service and for the remarkable gift you left for me, It was really thoughtful of you to find the perfect item that any new home owner will need. I will always remember how helpful you were to me, going through my first home buying experience. You are definitely an Excellent Realtor and I'll be recommending you to friends and family members of mine that will require your service. It was a really good experience all the way to the closing table, so I thank God, because he put everything together and made it possible for you to be my Realtor.
Juwon O.
- It was definitely a blessing to have been referred to you. We are truly grateful for taking so much time to find us the perfect home! We know that we were not easy!! As first time home buyers, we were completely clueless from where to begin to what to look for. You seemed to just sit back and listen to us during our first day out together. We really felt like you got to know us that first day and took everything into consideration when looking at more homes. With your guidance, we were able to narrow down our choices to a few lovely homes in the neighborhood we were set on. We liked the houses but we just had not found the one. Then you led us to the house that we now call our home. You took everything that we wanted into consideration when we were looking. You were not pushy or overly aggressive. Most importantly, you were honest. It shows such good character that you would be the first to point out a flaw that we missed or remind us of how important 3 bedrooms were! We both agree that we are going to miss our outings but we are so happy we finally found the perfect house. Now that we have found it, you are walking us step by step through the process of finally securing our home. We look forward to referring you to others who need help finding their dream home! Thanks again for everything!
Natalie and Ryan C.
- We would like to thank you for all of your help and hard work with finding us our first home. You were patient and always willing to show us homes, even if it was at an inconvenient time. You made buying our first home an easy and stress free experience. You always took the extra time to make sure you communicated with us and you kept us very informed throughout the process. We are so happy with the home we are buying and would like to thank you again for being an excellent realtor. We will recommend you to anyone that is looking for a trustworthy realtor and we look forward to working with you in the future
Jay and Shelly V.
- From start to finish in our dealings with Producer Realty, everything was handled in a very friendly and professional manner. Victor was great in keeping us informed throughout the process, and in working with us for scheduling. I wholeheartedly recommend Producer Realty if you're looking for a realtor that will be sensitive to your needs, and one who will work with you to find the perfect house that you're looking for.
Seth & Rebecca C.

What else is new. During the Smallwood era, I am told that Joey Smallwood went from being, United/Methodist, to being Salvation Army, to being Roman Catholic, depending on which Christian Tradition was predominant in the particular area of the province where he was campaining. All in the name of political expediency. Nowadays its' opinion poll-riggingand flooding open-line shows. Same son, different tune.
- Never too late.
- March 05, 2013 - 10:08
I am so glad that the Media is taking interest and responsibility now even though it was blatant and glaring all along what was happening in the so-called polls! I guess it was not in the Media's interest to do so earlier.
- Too Funny
- March 05, 2013 - 09:46
That's funny. "Political ethics". That's called an oxymoron. That's funny too. Also, funny is the silence from the Liberal and NDP politicians. And now we see a Liberal government doing the same thing. The partys say they're different but they act the same.
- Wondering
- March 05, 2013 - 09:31
I understand the implications of this. But what I don't get is why is this only a 'story' now? It was well documented by poli sci profs at MUN a few years ago (during Danny's reign) that this exact type of thing was going on. No one in the media made a peep about it. I have to wonder if it was because no one in the media wanted to 'take Danny on', but Dunderdale is a much easier target. All the things we are railing at Dunderdale for now were initiated by her predecessor. Public opinion was manipulated with precision from 2003-2010 (as was 'spending like drunken sailors'). I guess being a bully with deep pockets has its own advantages.

And SNC-Lavalin's former CEO is now facing various charges (not yet proven in court). Was this the same person who was SNC'Lavalin's CEO when the company got the contract from Nalcor and gave the company the opportunity to make hundreds of millions off the Muskrat Falls project ? Please answer that Nalcor (Ed Martin)/Premier...... Or am I, as a voter, a citizen, a ratepayer prevented from accessing that information? If so ----- WHY is that information SECRET? Is there anything to hide?
- Herb Morrison
- March 05, 2013 - 07:21
So, what else is new? Here in Newfoundland and Labrador during the Smallwood era, it is recorded that Joey's Religious affiliation went from being Methidist/United Church, to Anglican, to Roman Catholic, depending on which Tradition was predominant in a particular community. Same old song, different tune.

Chelsea's Royal Hospital was established by King Charles II in 1681, as a retirement home for old soldiers.Sir Christopher Wren designed the buildings (completed in 1692). The architectural style is variously classified as Palladian, Renaissance and Baroque. The square courtyard has a classic renaissance form. Its layout with gravel walk, lawns and statues is English.
The land to the east of the Royal Hospital was the site of the famous Ranelagh Pleasure Ground in the eighteenth century. It was re-designed by John Gibson in the nineteenth century and is now a green retreat with shady walks, beside the site of the annual Chelsea Flower Show.
The Royal Hospital Chelsea is on the London Gardens Walk and included in the eBook guide to the London Gardens Walk

Metadata beyond the library
There are plenty of communities that manage metadata besides libraries. I frequently see job postings for data curators here at MPOW. I'm considering starting a metadata or data curation interest group on campus. I think librarians need to be proactive about the types of metadata services we can provide to our customers. Some of our peer libraries do a great job making metadata services a public service. See how MIT, Cornell, University of Indiana, and University of Wisconsin promote their metadata expertise.
At this point in time, I think our library can manage taking on a consulting type of role. Most of the people managing metadata on campus are specialists with advanced degrees in the discipline. There's a reason for that. Their "collections" require subject expertise in order to properly create descriptive metadata. The experts don't necessarily have training in creating metadata or doing digital preservation, however. And they probably run into the typical issues in managing metadata that libraries do. At the very least it would be useful to network with people that share common interests. It can only help us figure out how the library fits in with the emerging paradigms of scholarly communication.

Wow, I think I just found my HG mouth wash! I've been using Listerine for about a year and I think the alcohol started to make my mouth really dry, so I was looking for an alternative without alcohol. I was browsing Whole Foods when I saw this Tom's of Maine wash that was specifically for dry mouths, so I gave it a try. The flavor is awesome; it tastes just like lemonade! Since there's no alcohol, it doesn't burn your mouth, and it has made my mouth much more moist throughout the day. I hope they never stop making this.
More reviews by redhairdreamer
I like this new line of dry mouth products. It really does keep your mouth moist. On the other hand Lemon-Lime flavor leaves much to be desired. Its just not refreshing at all. I guess that is what I am looking for in a mouthwash. This is good if you just have a bad taste in your mouth. Its a fun flavor and I love Lime, but its just not working for me.

Brighton 1-0 Notts County: Match Report
Inigo helps Albion march onInigo Calderon hit the only goal as runaway League One leaders Brighton went 10 points clear with a 1-0 win over Notts County.The Spanish full-back secured a sixth straight win for Gus Poyet's men to nudge them closer to promotion when he tucked in Craig Noone's cross at the far post after 64 minutes.County, now beaten in five of their last six games, put up a spirited display but Brighton keeper Casper Ankergren was rarely tested as the Seagulls pulled off their ninth win in a row at home.Striker Chris Wood wasted two good chances for Brighton inside the first five minutes. The New Zealander put the ball in the side-netting following a cross by Calderon before heading an Elliott Bennett free-kick over from six yards.Seagulls top scorer Glenn Murray was also off target when directing a header over following a Gary Dicker corner, before County keeper Stuart Nelson tipped a dipping 25-yard drive from Bennett over.Albion substitute Francisco Fandaza forced Nelson to make a good late save and Brighton comfortably held on with Ankergren easily keeping out a late effort from Alan Gow.

Jose Mourinho: Real Madrid boss to leave next month
Real Madrid have announced that head coach Jose Mourinho will leave the club at the end of the season after three years in charge of the Spanish giants.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez broke the news at a packed news conference on Monday.
The 50-year-old Mourinho, who has been linked with a return to Chelsea, won the league and Copa del Rey at Madrid.
"Nobody's been sacked, it's a mutual agreement," said Perez. "We've decided to bring our relationship to an end."
Real are currently 13 points behind Barcelona in the league and were beaten by city rivals Atletico in the Spanish Cup final last Friday.
They also lost in the semi-finals of the Champions League in each of their three seasons under former Porto and Inter Milan boss Mourinho.
Real Madrid have two games left this season. They are away at Real Sociedad on 26 May before Mourinho takes charge at the Bernabeu for the final time on 1 June against Osasuna.
"The club and manager agree the timing is right to bring our relationship to an end," Perez added. "On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to thank Jose Mourinho for all his hard work.
Mourinho's honours
Champions League: 2004 (Porto), 2010 (Inter Milan)
Uefa Cup: 2003 (Porto)
Premier League: 2005, 2006 (Chelsea)
FA Cup: 2007 (Chelsea)
League Cup: 2005, 2007 (Chelsea)
La Liga: 2012 (Real Madrid)
Copa del Rey: 2011 (Real Madrid)
Serie A: 2009, 2010 (Inter Milan)
Coppa Italia: 2010 (Inter Milan)
Primeira Liga: 2003, 2004 (Porto)
Taca de Portugal: 2003 (Porto)
"The team has improved in his three years and we wish him all the best."
Real had not won a trophy in the two years preceding Mourinho's appointment.
His deal was scheduled to run until 2016 after he had signed a contract extension following last season's La Liga success.
An agreement has been made on his exit now, though, with fellow former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti tipped to replace him after he expressed his desire to make the switch to the Bernabeu.
Perez denied a replacement had been lined up to take over from Mourinho.
"We have no pre-contract signed with any managerial candidate," he said. "It's something we'll have to look at in the coming days."
Ancelotti, 53, has already asked to leave Paris St-Germain but the Ligue 1 champions insist the Italian is still under contract.
Analysis - 5 live's Ian McGarry
"It's a big leap of faith on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's part to bring Mourinho back. Let's face it, they parted on very bad terms.
"But Mourinho is box office and loves the media spotlight, although I think he's romanticised the relationship with the British media a little.
"It wasn't as cushty as he's made out in press conferences over the last few months, when he said he is loved by fans and the media.
"I think it will be a very different landscape he returns to and a very different Chelsea team. Chelsea have evolved since he was here."
Mourinho's failure to win any trophies this season appears to have accelerated his departure from Madrid.
The Portuguese, who left Inter Milan for Real in 2010 after guiding the Italians to the Champions League crown, has labelled this season "the worst of my career".
Mourinho finished second in La Liga in his first season - four points behind Barcelona - but won the title a year later, amassing a record 100 points in the process.
However, this season Mourinho has cast a sulky figure. He has argued with established players, such as Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos and Pepe, and was sent from the dugout for protesting a referee's decision during the Copa del Rey defeat to Atletico.
Ancelotti's achievements
Juventus: Intertoto Cup 1999
AC Milan: Coppa Italia 2003; Champions League 2003, 2007; Uefa Super Cup 2003, 2007; Serie A 2004; Supercoppa Italiana 2004; Fifa Club World Cup 2007
Chelsea: Community Shield 2009; Premier League 2010; FA Cup 2010
PSG: Ligue 1 2013
Following Real's Champions League elimination by Borussia Dortmund, he hinted at a return to Chelsea.
"I know in England I am loved," he said. "I know I am loved by some clubs, especially one."
Mourinho won two consecutive Premier League titles during his three-year spell at Chelsea, which ended in September 2007, also lifting the League Cup twice and the FA Cup once.
During his tenure at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho won 124 of his 185 games in charge, including a 60-game unbeaten run at home in the league before surprisingly leaving the club in September 2007.

22nd May 2013 - 9:08Chelsea fans are among the most cowardly in the league. All of the childish booing and hissing directed at TFSW, and chanting for RDM yet not a peep of criticism or protest against Abramovich the man responsible for firing RDM and appointing TFSW.
Gutless cowards, a bit like the City fans ranting and raving about the sacking of Bobby Manc on here, but daren't say boo to Sheikh Mansour. -

"I came across this recipe as I did a search for "Navy Beans". I've had a package in my pantry for quite some time and decided it was finally time to use them. I'm so happy I found this recipe. It was easy to make and tasted great. I served it with some nice crusty bread. Even the kids enjoyed it. Must be the bacon :)"

Traditional Bolognese Sauce in Half The Time
First the grapes, now Italians are trademarking all of their national dishes using DOC (Dominazione d'Origine Controllata). You can find Pizza Napoletana doc and Steak alla Fiorentina doc "official" and Bolognese Sauce is no exception. The traditional recipe for Bolognese sauce was deposited by Accademia Italiana della Cucina into the annals of Blogna's Chameber of Commerce, in 1982. The instructions are very clear that once all of the ingredients are cut, browned, and evaporated their recipe needs an additional two hours to simmer – a minimum of three hours total.
With a pressure cooker you can cut the simmering part of this recipe from two hours to less than 30 minutes! The result is a tender, chunky, incredibly flavorful (and official) Bolognese sauce in half the time! The trick to keeping this sauce thick in the pressure cooker, is to add a cup of water (the only addition to the original recipe) in the middle of the cooking time.
Serve with egg tagliatelle, fettucine, or some other rich, robust pasta that can hold up to the meatiness and flavor of this sauce.
Pressure Cooker | Accessories | Pr. Cook Time | Pr. Level | Open |
4 L or larger | none | 8 & 7 min. | High(2) | Normal |
- 11 oz. (300g) Beef, ground
- 4 oz. (100g) Pancetta, or unsmoked bacon, cubed
- ½ cup (125ml) Red Wine, Sangiovese or other dry Red Wine
- 1 cup (250ml) Beef Stock
- 5 Tablespoons Tomato Paste Concentrate (double or triple concentration)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, chopped
- 1 medium celery stalk, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Cream for finishing
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- In the cold pressure cooker with no oil or butter, with the top off, sprinkle the pancetta in a flat layer and turn on to the lowest heat possible to render the fat.
- After the pancetta begins to sizzle (in about 5 minutes) add the onion, carrot and celery and raise the heat to medium-low and cook until well softened (about 10 minutes). If things begin to stick you can add a little swirl of olive oil.
- Raise the heat to medium and add the ground beef and brown well stirring occasionally (about 30 minutes or until all of the liquid from the meat is evaporated and the fat begins to sizzle).
- Add the wine and scrape the juicy bits stuck to the bottom and sides of the pan and evaporate it completely (about 7 minutes).
- In the meantime, mix the tomato paste with the beef stock and add salt, pepper. Pour the stock mixture into the cooker and stir well.
- Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker and turn the heat to high. When the cooker reaches pressure, lower the flame to minimum heat and count 8 minutes cooking time at high pressure.
- Release pressure.
- Add one cup of hot water, stir the contents well and scrape any juicy bits from the bottom to incorporate.
- Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker and turn the heat to high.When the pan reaches pressure again, lower the flame to minimum and count
- another 7 minutes cooking time under pressure.
- When time is up, release pressure
- Stir in the cream and serve!

I really hope an expantion is made for this game. I would like to see more of the characters from 40k Universe brought into this game.
For example: Relic: Heros of Astartes. The expantion would include 5 new charcters unquie mission cards, New Quest Cards, and more threat cards for each threat deck. The 5 new characters would be Marneus Calgar Of Ultramarine, Vul'Kan He'stan of Salamanders, Pedro Kantor of Crimson Fist, Khan Jubal of White Scares, and Raven Gaurd Shadow Captain Aremis Koryn.
I think this would be really cool since Vul'Kan He'stan is lore is that he is already hunting down relics of Vul'kan. So every time the Vul'kan player completes enough missions to gain a relic, He would simply gain a Relic of Vul'kan, with would be a unquie effect for him. Something similar for Calgar, that either he gets to roll two dice instead of one for skill checks and attack rolls or he gets to re-roll a failed skilled check or attack roll. Pedro could have something like if you are in the same area as him you can add his cunning to your attack roll. Khan Jubal gets to roll two dice instead of one during his movement phase.

Branding and Images
A brand is not simply a mark, logo or symbol. It constitutes a pledge the University makes to those who look to us for leadership and excellence in higher education. It is important that we deliver on this pledge, and that we effectively communicate it to the public. Trust is the key to building mutually beneficial relationships with people who are important to us. And trust is built through consistency in performance and in communication. Consistency and coordination in communications are central to our ability to build public awareness of what we stand for and to communicate the quality of a BW experience.
One aspect of the Baldwin Wallace University brand is our visual identity. When the public views an item that carries the BW visual identity, they form or modify an opinion about us; our character, values, standards and goals. More than colors, seals and logos, our identity is an important communications tool and must be used appropriately. This becomes increasingly significant as we seek to define and differentiate ourselves in the increasingly crowded marketplace of higher education.
Like any professional and successful organization, we need to communicate our excellence through a unified identity, which strengthens our University brand. This guide creates a framework whereby all University organizations, departments and divisions can present themselves to our constituents with a unified look.
We hope you will find these guidelines to be useful.
If you have questions or comments about this guide, or the policies (established by the Office of University Relations) please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com.

biographical name(born 1383, Panicale, Romagnadied probably 1440–47, Florence, Republic of Florence) Italian painter. He came from the same district in Tuscany as his younger contemporary Masaccio, with whom his career is closely linked. The two worked together on frescoes for the Brancacci Chapel in Florence's Santa Maria del Carmine. Masaccio's influence is evident in Masolino's contributions, but upon Masaccio's death Masolino returned to the more decorative Gothic style of his earlier years.

Hi, I need instructions on how to graft a tomato to potato to save space. I have grown some tomato seedlings from seed and have gotten attached to them, I would hate to waste them if I use wrong technique.
My reasons for wanting to do this - extremely limited yard space (currently renting and can only use the flower beds). It will be a good skill to have once I have my homesteading land which because of cost might be only 3 acres. |

grow both tomatoe plant and potatoe plant to the transpant stage harden them off let them grow side by side out doors for one week make a one or 2 inch cut in the skin of each the plants where they will make contact then tape them together so no cut is exposed . Next let them fully recover . Then gradually cut back the potatoe leaves a few at a time until there are none ,let them return to good health check the graft to make sure the 2 plants have fused ( grown together as one ) if they have ,and the graft and tomatoe plant are both healthy and strong you can then amputate the potatoe branch just above the graft . Then let it grow until it is healthy strong stable and growing when the tomatoe is growing well and healed completely then you can cut off thr tomatoe roots . Then when it heals completely you have a tompotatoe plant ! The harvests you get are usually inferior to growng the 2 crops separatly . Good Luck! |

Slider Truck
Posted on | July 2, 2010 | No Comments
We stopped at the slider truck at the last First Friday, just for a quick snack, and split two sliders.
The Barbie had cheddar, fried onions, caramelized jalapeño,bacon, and was smothered in BBQ sauce.
The Pep Pep had lettuce, tomato, sauteed onions, bacon, cheddar, and plenty of creamy sauce.
I enjoyed both, but think I liked the Pep Pep slightly better. Both were fresh, well cooked, well seasoned, and all of those toppings on those tiny burgers worked surprisingly well, without overpowering the actual burger. I hear they're out in NW Vegas often, so I'll have to stop by again to try some additional sliders…

It's hard to dissociate pesto, focaccia, and ravioli from the dinnertime din of upstart New World trattorias. But sniff out their roots, and you will find yourself in Liguria, Italy's charmed crescent-shaped stretch of Mediterranean coastline, which curves northwest from Tuscany all the way to Provence.
The real Liguria and its disarmingly simple cuisine are a far cry from the Technicolor clichés that inevitably pop up when we think of the Riviera. Sure, lavish seafood extravaganzas make their way to tourist restaurants, and at patrician Genovese homes one can still sample baroque dishes that once crowned the tables of nobility. But the sea here is stingy, the land rugged, and the temperament thrifty. Give a good Ligurian cook a pound of pasta and a cup of fresh beans, throw in some young basil, a handful of olives, a splash of fruity oil—and miraculously these humble foodstuffs will be transformed into something utterly poetic.
"During the Crusades, Ligurians were identified by their smell of basil and garlic," a historian of gastronomy once told me. I believe it. This heady perfume followed me on a recent journey into hillside trattorias and smart restaurants, to markets and beachside cafés, as I traveled the length of the Italian Riviera, starting across the border in Nice and ending in Tuscany. (Liguria is also an easy drive from Milan or Florence.)
Balzi Rossi: Stars on the Border
Smack on the Franco-Italian frontier, the restaurant Balzi Rossi, next to a tiny town of the same name, offers a sneak preview of Italy. Mind you, with its two Michelin stars and fashionable clientele, it's like a Hollywood trailer for the neo-realist film that is the true Ligurian cucina. Sunday lunchtime: affluent families in German luxury sedans arrive from both sides of the border in Riviera uniforms—Hermès silk for signora, light blue jackets for signore, Ombeline sandals for their ravishing daughters.
In the kitchen, Ligurian lyricism shakes hands with haute-French formality. Zucchini blossoms are filled with a crustacean mousse that vanishes like an air kiss. Cima, a veal roll with delicate pine nut and pâté stuffing, resembles a Gallic terrine. The Ligurian seafood specialty called cappone magro comes as a pretty bouquet of baby shellfish laced with a tangy sauce of olive oil, vinegar, and anchovies. The medallions of orata (sea bream) with chanterelles are a miss—overcooked. But Mamma never made lasagna the way Balzi Rossi does: sheets of gratinéed pasta poised on iridescent-green pesto hide a vegetable filling as fluffy as a soufflé.
In and Around San Remo: Exquisite Pasta
Drive a bit east and you'll find yourself in San Remo, the flower capital of Italy, whose gritty old center and nostalgic glamour well merit an overnight stay. (Try the Royal Hotel, a grande dame with a sea view.) The town has its share of fancy restaurants—Paolo e Barbara is especially polished—but I took a shine to an archetypal neighborhood trattoria, Piccolo Mondo. Here, birdlike old women happily lunch solo, and businessmen raise their eyes from La Stampa only to pour themselves another glass of house wine; it comes cheaper than Coke.
Piccolo Mondo's pride is a bracing thick minestrone, along with an outstanding octopus potato stew and tortino—a luscious Ligurian vegetable or cheese pie first made in the Middle Ages. The pastas?A refined dish of linguine with shrimp and arugula; and an appealingly homey diamond-shaped sciancui, slathered with pesto and strewn with green beans, zucchini, and pine nuts.
If you stay in San Remo, take a day-long excursion into the nearby hill towns. Start in Bussana Vecchia, a once-abandoned ancient hamlet reclaimed by local artists; spend the rest of the morning exploring the medieval streets of nearby Taggia, known for its olive oil; and have lunch at Il Ponte, in Badalucco.
Il Ponte is nothing but a drowsy village restaurant, yet its food would turn heads anywhere. The earthy flavor of the smoked beef carpaccio is offset by the zing of tiny marinated mushrooms. Pappardelle are finished in a skillet with a slurry of tomatoes, basil, and cream. Voluptuous gnocchi come with wild mushrooms and truffles. These pastas, soothing and silky, are exquisite baby food for grown-ups. In contrast, the elegant tagliata di carne—cold slices of Piedmont beef, set on peppery arugula and topped with a blizzard of warm sliced porcini—is Armani for the taste buds.
After lunch, delve deeper into the hills, and end the day in Triora, famous for witchcraft and country bread.
Cervo: The One Not to Miss
Caterina Barla orchestrates your meal with the dedication of a seamstress sewing her daughter's wedding dress. Tall, prim, and slightly eccentric, she presides over San Giorgio—the region's most charming restaurant, in the stunning medieval hill town of Cervo, about 25 miles east of San Remo.
The subtle vibrancy of Signora Barla's flavors hits with the first bites of the antipasto platter—ethereal olive fritters, zucchini blossoms with pesto potato filling, and bruschetta topped by a festive pile of tomatoes, olives, and bottarga (pressed tuna roe). On the pasta menu: an intriguing black tangle of squid ink linguine with fresh pecorino; and trofiette, delicate "worms" of dough in a jade sauce of basil, fresh tomatoes, olives, and tiny squid. These calamaretti also appear in a main course, paired with fried breaded slices of porcini mushrooms. The taste sensation is typically Ligurian: seemingly disparate elements, the woods and the waters, playing together like happy children.
Genoa: An Ode to the Classics
Most tourists ignore the port city of Genoa, but that only enhances its raffish charm. The sunseekers are missing a trove of Baroque palazzi, arcaded shopping streets, phantasmagoric fin-de-siècle decorations, and a medieval quarter that rivals Barcelona's Barri Gótic.
At lunchtime I roamed the cacophonous alleys around the main market, Mercato Orientale, gorging on street food: focaccia, tripe, farinate (chickpea pancakes). My dinner choice was Antica Osteria del Bai, a wood-paneled institution 20 minutes east of the city center, with a pleasantly claustrophobic boat-cabin feel. Eleganza and tradizione, promised the brochure. Weary of the former (Fish terrine with strawberry sauce? Grazie, no), I was only too happy to surrender myself to tradition. The warm rabbit salad wasn't exactly grandmotherly fare, but it was pleasant and plump. Ditto for the pristine pieces of triglia (red mullet), rolled in lettuce and lightly fried—a takeoff on an old Ligurian preparation. And the simpler seafood entrées, such as mixed grill, were without fault.
But it is the pasta, even the teensiest examples shaped by hand, that shines. Nubby tundetti glow with magical pesto. The musky taste of porcini infuses strands of maltagliati. "In 1869," the owner announced, "Garibaldi ate here before sailing to Sicily to fight for the unification of Italy." Now, that's tradition.

After awakening from a nearly 70-year nap and helping to save the world from a plague of alien baddies, humble supersoldier Steve Rogers — a.k.a. Captain America — thinks he might finally get a chance to adjust to modern life in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Unfortunately, the world has other plans.
Today, Marvel unleashed the first moody poster for the Captain's second solo cinematic spotlight. Though the rest of the film's cast — including Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Anthony Mackie as Falcon, and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow — isn't pictured, fans of Chris Evans's silhouette, lens flares, and bird's-eye views of our nation's capital should be pleased. (Wait — is Captain America the one who really ended the government shutdown?) Check it out below:

12 Accessories That Instantly
Update Your Hairstyle
Nicole Richie is the poster child for hairpieces, turning any look from simple to hippie chic. We love that she placed the band over her bangs, making it so retro. Make sure to go with a thinner band like Richie's for a less drastic look.
Top 10 Quick And Easy Hairstyles
And who said buns are only for librarians and ballerinas? Kristen Stewart rocked an edgy bun this week with a gold chain wrapped around. Another fun idea? You could even use the chain to wrap around a pony or through a braid.

Big jeweled headbands have been all the rage lately (I have one that I wear all the time!). Jaime King's is great for her short hair because it adds a little oomph to a classic 'do.
Top 10 Sexy Short Hairstyles
Like Petra, many of us go for loose, less structured curls. But it's fun to mix it up a little with a clip here or there. Her silver studded bobbi is the perfect addition for a little sparkle without drawing attention from the perfect coils.

Blair Waldorf couldn't have done any better. Cobie Smulders' golden headband turned her simple updo from drab to uber chic! A new product we love that is similar to Smulders' is Goody's Double Wear Headwrap Necklaces ($4.99, target.com) that have that drastic gold look.
Sexy Celebrity Updos
Personally, we never think you're too old to wear a bow. Especially, when it bedazzles your updo like Chloe Moretz's. Side Note: going with a bigger accessory draws attention away from the 'do. For a gorg piece like this, you could pair with something as simple as a pony or side bun and pass them off as updos.
Try on Chloe Moretz's looks in the Makeover Studio!
And sometimes we just want casual. Bella Thorne's silver clip is perfect for pinning back a few loose waves. And the pearl in the center is just enough prep without the popped collar.
Sexy Wavy Celebrity Hairstyles
No look inspired us more this past red carpet season than Charlize Theron's Cartier headband at The Golden Globes. Diamonds really are a girl's best friend. They brighten any hair color and give off a stunning shine.
Try on Charlize Theron's looks in the Makeover Studio!
The headscarf is back in full force ladies! This is the perfect look for short hair that has limited styling options or for those bad hair days when you just can't tame those fly-aways.
Transition From Natural To Relaxed With Ease
Dianna Agron's stone headband is perfect for summer. Shells would be a little too much but fun colored gems pair greatly with bright swimsuits for an added earthy tone.
Try on Dianna Agron's looks in the Makeover Studio!
Glamour's Fashion Editor-At-Large showed just how captivating a little frosting can be. (How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days reference, anyone?) We love how the clip is placed within the updo for added depth.
Get The Look: Kate Middleton's Braided Updo
Another fun (and hipster) way to wear the headscarf is with wispy bangs like Alexa Chung. It's a great way to play with the trend without going all the way because it blends into the hair.

Guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Peter Mayer, of the Peter Mayer Group, has melded a unique and multi-faceted writing style, a distinctive voice, and inspired musicianship to create compelling and accessible music that is electrifying in live performance. Mayer has culled influences from his childhood in India that ranged from traditional Indian music to The Beatles, and from his studying and teaching Jazz guitar at Webster University in St. Louis, MO. Add the many years that he has shared the stage with Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band, James Taylor, Mac McAnally, Sonny Landreth, Don Henley and others, and you begin to trace the musical storyline of the Peter Mayer Group.
If Mac McAnally never sang or played another note of music, his place in music history is more than assured. And yet an almost inevitable momentum seems to be taking his career and carrying it to places it has never been. The fact that two of country music's biggest stars have given McAnally an almost reverential nod speaks to just how much energy the celebrated songwriter, guitarist, vocalist and producer is developing as a recording artist.
Over the course of his career he's built an enviable registry of credits that includes Roy Orbison, Hank Williams, Jr., Amy Grant, Jimmy Buffett, Travis Tritt, Linda Ronstadt, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Dolly Parton and many more. And his guitar and vocal skills weren't confined to the studio as he joined Buffett's touring Coral Reefer band, an association that continues to this day. McAnally has also produced several of Buffett's albums and written many of his songs.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is *Sweet Pea!
Facts about *Sweet Pea
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
*Sweet Pea's Info...
I am already spayed.
*COURTESY LISTING. This pet is NOT in foster care with Leftover Pets. Please refer to contact info BELOW for more info on this pet.
Sweet Pea (black tabby)-She really is the sweetest pea! Highly affectionate, 5 yrs. old, she loves sleeping with us or on us. Very smart and obedient. She is a great bug catcher! A little on the shy side with strangers.
Piper (grey and white fluff ball)- She is a highly affectionate 5 yr. old cat. She loves attention and sleeping on our lap. Not shy at all. She doesn't like sleeping on our bed but likes being in our room or wherever we are.
They are both indoor cats only. They are sisters and have always been together. They will need to be adopted together.
For more information or to adopt these cats, please contact Leftover Pets at email@example.com or 1-800-978-5226.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
*Sweet Pea, a Winder Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Winder, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Winder.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Winder already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Winder breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Winder paves the way for another one to be saved.

ANDERSON IN TOWN: Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Loewe, got a chance to take in the Spanish brand's newly revamped flagship in Tokyo Wednesday evening at a cocktail event. The Omotesando store reopened its doors earlier this summer. It marks the debut of the designer's new Casa Loewe concept, which draws inspiration from Loewe's 1959 flagship designed by Javier Carvajal and incorporates pieces from three generations of Japanese ceramic artisans. A store in Milan featuring the same concept opened earlier this month.
Anderson, on his seventh trip to Japan as the country is one of the biggest markets for his namesake brand J.W. Anderson, said he is eager to make each of Loewe's stores unique with "a more cultural kind of reference point to it," he said. "[For] each store, we are collaborating with different people." Up next, the designer is preparing his first women's wear collection for Loewe for spring-summer and gearing up for the brand's first store opening in the United States in Miami.

Water Service Categories |
The County's Water and Sewer Plan assigns a water category and a sewer category to every property in the County. These service area categories serve two functions:
The mechanism consists of the use of service area categories W-1 through W- 5 (for water) and S-1 through S-5 (for sewer). Who Needs to Know Their Service Area Categories?Most property owners are completely unaware of the water and sewer categories assigned to their land in the Water and Sewer Plan. In fact, most don't even know they're in a service area category. The need to know a service area category (and what it means) usually comes up in three types of situations:
Changing Water and Sewer CategoriesOnce property owners or developers determine the water and sewer categories designated for their properties, they're not always satisfied with them. Most often it's because those categories won't allow for the use of public water and sewer service on the property. A major part of DEP's work regarding the Water and Sewer Plan involves requests from property owners to change the water or sewer categories for their properties. Often these category change requests are requests to allow public service in an area designated for private, on-site systems. Visit the Service Area Category Changes page to learn more about how to change a service area category. Designations and DefinitionsThe Water and Sewer Plan classifies almost all properties in the County into one of the following water categories and one of the following sewer categories. (The exception is rights-of-way for public roads, railroads, and gas and electrical transmission lines.) Note that the County does not necessarily designate properties with matching water and sewer categories, such as W-3 and S-3. (For example, a property could have a water supply category of W-1 and a sewer service category of S-6.) The following table provides definitions and information on the County's water and sewer service area categories:
View a printable version of the Service Area Category Designations and Definitions table (MS Word). Finding Your Water and Sewer CategoriesJust as the County's zoning maps are the record of zoning decisions, the water category and sewer category maps show, in a geographic format, the service area categories designated throughout the County. You can find your service area category using the Montgomery County Map Viewer—an interactive mapping application (available from the Montgomery County Map Room on the Net.)
If you don't see your property identified by a category number, click the radio button (round button) next to "Sewer Category" or "Water Category." (You may select only one at a time.) Then click on the "Identify Features" button at the top of the map. Use the mouse to click on your property boundary on the map. A pop-up box will show the resulting category. |

The library, like the rest of the city, is experiencing a severe budget crunch. The library administration, headed by City Librarian Rick Ashton, has taken measures to cope with the deficit. Staff jobs have been cut, vacated staff positions have not been filled, and library hours have been cut back. In addition to these measures, Mr. Ashton has taken charge of most library fundraising and proposes the formation of a special tax district to bankroll this popular institution, thus freeing the library from accountability to the Denver city government.
As a retired staff member of the Denver Public Library, I am very much opposed to the formation of such a tax district.
At a recent meeting with the Library Commission, some library volunteers expressed concern over the way new and used materials are being handled at the Central Library and its branches. Branches have disposed of as much as 25 percent of the print collections in order to create space for thousands of new videos, CDs and DVDs. The disposal of print materials has been done almost at random and without concern for the needs of library patrons. The Cherry Creek branch, for instance, has no Encyclopedia Britannica because it "wasn't being used enough." At the Ford-Warren branch, a non-Spanish-speaking staff member was told to "weed" the Spanish-language collection even after informing regular staff members that she had no idea what she would be throwing away. The waste is astonishing.
In his August 7 "Checked Out," Steers pointed out another important library problem: Morale among library staff and volunteers is very low. As one longtime staff member put it, "We used to have low morale. Now we have no morale at all." The library has less staff to do more work, and volunteers are discouraged from doing most of the wide range of jobs for which they were trained. Members of the library staff are often overworked and worn out. The pleasure that so many of us found in our work has nearly evaporated. Very little, if anything, is being done to make staff members and volunteers feel appreciated and feel that their hard work is valued by Ashton, his fellow administrators and some branch supervisors.
Many staff and volunteers have "voted with their feet" and moved on to other library districts or to early retirement. I retired in March 2003 after 22 years of service.
To give the Denver Public Library the liberty to continue these kinds of waste and mismanagement of material and human resources without supervision would be unfortunate at best.
Carolyn Haenselman
Man overboard: My thanks to Stuart Steers for spotting the iceberg that threatens the titanic Denver Public Library. City Librarian Rick Ashton is "captaining" the DPL in such a puerile and egomaniacal manner that he appears to be adjusting the course in order to hit that ominous iceberg head on.
While Ashton shouts "We're the number one library in the country!" (read "I'm the King of the World!"), there are many people below decks who are uncertain of their future. I know this because I am shoveling coal in the engine room.
With many unwarranted changes, staff reassignments (some of which smack of punishment for speaking up), promotions seemingly predicated on the candidates' ability to see nothing, say nothing and do nothing, job descriptions for newly created positions written so that staff can predict exactly who is being called to service because only one person fits the qualifications -- we are a staff demoralized.
Stuart Steers reported that an internal memo prepared by the financial office said the now mostly defunct Friends Foundation had an overhead cost of .78/1.00 earned. With the Friends out of the picture, who is doing all the work for fundraising at the library? Could it be library employees, diverted from other assignments, some of them earning in excess of $80,000 a year? Someone grab a calculator.
Regarding the proposed library district: Mr. Ashton, you might want to get your staff on board before you set sail. And to Mayor Hickenlooper: S.O.S! Remember, when you spot an iceberg, only 10 percent shows on the surface.
Keep ringing that warning bell, Mr. Steers.

Heavy-mental music: I was extremely disappointed by Jason Heller's "Man Posse," in the August 14 issue. To call a style of music "electro-booty bass retard" is demeaning to people with mental retardation and perpetuates a hateful stereotype of a population that I consider a silent minority. To equate exploring "retarded ways to make music" with "making farting sounds into my Casio...and screaming, 'Party! Party'..." shows a level of insensitivity that's mind-boggling.
Mental retardation and related developmental disabilities affect about 1 percent of the population. In Colorado alone, with a population close to 4 million, these disabilities impact an estimated 40,000 individuals. Day-to-day living can be a challenge for an individual with mental retardation, and would certainly not be considered a party by anyone. The term "retarded" is no longer used to describe a person with developmental disabilities and is considered derogatory by people with developmental disabilities, their families and people who work with them (such as myself ).
I consider Westword an intelligent and viable alternative to the daily newspapers, and being a musician I have always appreciated your commitment to the music scene in Colorado. I do not think that it is necessary to demean a vulnerable population to promote a certain style of music. I question the intelligence behind Diggie Diamond and the International Male and wonder why, if they are truly talented, they find it necessary to pick on people with disabilities to get their point across. I am equally disappointed with Westword for helping them to promote their agenda by giving them press they don't deserve.

We just bought our first house and haven't even moved in, and the repairs are piling up. I don't even know what to call this, but the red brick part of the patio's high point is in the middle so the water flows both directions one being toward the house. I think years of that caused our more serious problem which is the cement looking part of the house has been eroded so water is getting on the slab. Any suggestions would be appreciated, even if it's to call a professional because it's complicated Thank You |

One way or the other, it needs to be sloping away from the foundation. |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Thu, May 16, 13 at 19:30
Remove the patio and regrade the area, then redo the patio. It's backbreaking work, but it's definitely DIYable. |
- Posted by BergiesGirl (My Page) on Fri, May 17, 13 at 0:06
So if we do that, does anything need yo be done with that portion that is already eroded? |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Fri, May 17, 13 at 10:51
It's hard to tell until you excavate that area if you'll need to do any repair there. It depends on where the foundation level actually IS, and it's condition as revealed by digging everything out. If you prefer not to spend all summer digging in the hot sun, a landscape company can probably handle the whole project inside a week. Especially if you can get a little Bobcat in there. |
- Posted by Geoffrey_B (My Page) on Fri, May 17, 13 at 14:21
From looking at the first picture - I see a potentially major problem. The ground should slope AWAY from your home - atleast 1/4" per foot. It looks like the yard is higher than the patio. This means you will have to raise the patio starting at the house. It looks like your yard should be regraded. |
Assuming you're not afraid of some hard work it is a quite straightforward DIY project, with lots of instructional materials readily available. What makes it a good beginner DIY project is that if you don't get it right the first time you just pick up the bricks and try again-- there's nothing that is irreversible in the process and no expensive materials are spoiled in the event of error. It is hard, heavy work though. You'll need to pull up the bricks, re-grade or replace the substrate underneath to get the proper drainage, compact it, then re-set the brickwork. Not rocket science, but you will probably get a few blisters. |

Admit it. Every one of us has been guilty of a stare-down with someone for the size of her (or his!) lips, cheekbones or breasts – or their oddly immobile face and some bizarrely dimpled body part. It's like those 'celebrity-gone-wrong' shots on the covers of supermarket tabloids, which are devastatingly perfect examples of 'what not to do' when it comes to cosmetic surgery. Think Heidi Montag, Jocelyn Wildenstein, Donatella Versace and Joan Rivers. C'mon, are these women for real?
Okay, enough banter. Now seriously – who's to blame for the existence of these extreme surgery addicts?
One of Chicago's foremost cosmetic surgeons is Julius Few, MD, of The Few institute, with offices in Chicago and New York. This well-respected physician draws the line when it comes to going overboard. Extreme cosmetic surgeries are verboten in his practice. And he's well aware of when too much is too much.
Plastic surgery pitfalls don't come out of left field. They begin with what Dr. Few calls "the distortion vortex, or people losing sight of what's what. Somebody gets a little bit of filler, things are plumped up and looking better, and they start receiving flattering comments. So they start looking into their 10x mirrors and find more subtleties that they want to fill up. It's a very insidious process and leads to too much surgery."
While Dr. Few is nationally acclaimed for his ability to craft beautiful countenances that embrace small, subtle amendments rather than overt changes, he also has a good radar for recognizing complex psychological landscapes that affect a patient's decision to get work done. He notes that unstable emotional and psychological factors should raise red flags for accredited surgeons – or any doctor for that matter. And he has perfected his radar so he can spot questionable reasons for plastic surgery.
"When a patient is pointing out issues that neither I nor my staff can see, that's one of the key signs. Often, what's behind this is something totally unrelated to the physical 'issue.' It's something else in their lives that usually has to do with stress."
And while obsession may be too strong a word to use in many cases, a penchant for drastic enhancements speaks to an addictive quality of trying to achieve perfection. Ironically, this is a catch-22 that can lead to regrettable disasters. Obsessions with wrinkle-free smiles and flat abs may actually be cries for help or a very unfortunate approach to the pursuit of happiness. "This is when I refer them to a licensed counselor who works with patients from our office," explains Dr. Few.
Now that it's never been easier to make body parts plumper, tighter and fuller thanks to doctors who have rendered wrinkles optional, many women are banking on multiple inexpensive and minimally-invasive procedures and surgeries to quickly turn back time. Instead, they're running the risk of looking extremely unnatural and overfilled.
What is natural, however, is aging, so embrace it. This is how Dr. Few breaks down the aging process. There are three main things that happen:
1. The face sags.
2. The skin wrinkles.
3. There's loss of volume.
"All give you a more aged or tired looking face," he explains. And those who benefit most from cosmetic surgeries never lose sight of this biological fact when they go in for a procedure. "Their expectations are reasonable and you wouldn't know that they've had anything done."
And that's something we should all keep in mind when we explore our options.
