Help Henderson event Saturday in Central Park
Pat Wilson's Beauty College will offer a day of free haircuts and other activities as part of the annual Help Henderson event Saturday in Central Park.
Samantha Buckman, head instructor for the beauty college at 326 N. Main St., said representatives from the college will pass out fliers at the event.
Then those wanting free haircuts can take the fliers and go to the beauty college from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Monday to receive the haircuts.
"It's a first come, first served basis," Buckman said, adding that people must have their fliers from Help Henderson to receive the haircuts.
In addition to haircuts, "We will have glitter tattoos, fingernail polish, snow cones, popcorn and balloons," she said.
"We love it," Buckman said of Help Henderson. "We are excited."
Coordinated by Henderson's faith-based community, Help Henderson
is scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is a day when local churches and other agencies join forces and resources to serve citizens in need.
As in the past, those attending Help Henderson will be brought to a welcome area, asked to write down their needs and then be directed to the proper area of assistance.
Volunteers will also pray a blessing over those attending the event, according to a news release provided by the Help Henderson committee.
Organizers said in 2011 more than 800 attended Help Henderson to receive assistance.
Free food and drinks will be served as long as supplies last.
Churches, organizations and individuals are encouraged to set up a table and distribute needed items.
In previous Help Henderson events, examples of help have included toiletry items, free haircut certificates, a free drink station, Bibles from the Gideons, clothing from Goodwill Industries, face painting, garden vegetables, food from Tri-State Food Bank, health information, blood pressure checks and wellness checks.
Churches are also asked to consider donating a church van to be used to pick up those in need of transportation, organizers said. Volunteers are needed as well.
Any donation of goods, services or cash can be submitted to First United Methodist Church under Help Henderson 2012. Cash donations will be used to provide food the day of the event and other supplies.
All are welcome to attend the final Help Henderson 2012 planning meeting from 11 a.m. to noon Friday at the Citi Center Sandwich Shop.
For more information, contact Darlene Marshall-Ware, coordinator, at 577-3183 or Larry Butler, booth placement/set-up, at 860-6782.

Reviews of Portland Garage Builders
It has been a pleasure to work with Frank and Walt on the design. They were always receptive to my requests. The crew who arrived on site to construct my garage were exceptional. Friendly, courteous, and blazing fast.
Portland, OR
Whether I would recommend them to a friend depends more on the final product than first impressions. I was impressed by all of the people that you sent to the house. Most were stymed by the fact that my house is so close to the property line. Only Swanson came up with a viable way of doing the excavating. We'll see how he does, but he is confident he can get his equipment into my backyard without imposing on my neighbors. He said he could have people start this week, but he has to finish a job that is almost done. That impressed me! I told him to put all his energy in what he has going, then we can start with this.
Portland, OR
Very satisfied with the quality and value off the construction of a 10x18 storage shed. attention to detail was very good and I would recommend Swanson Construction for any project.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Here's what you need to know about the housing numbers released Tuesday.
They weren't great. But they weren't terrible. For once, whatever was wrong was not really about the weather.
Overall, new homes sold at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 440,000 in February -- meeting the average forecast in a survey by Econoday, and about 1% less than at this time last year.
That's the good part, which augurs fairly well for the spring selling season. It's a big deal for the economy because residential construction and related specialty trades are still more than a million jobs short of the pre-recession highs. A surge in construction offers hope for both employment and higher wages -- home building wages have climbed 5% in the last 12 months for which the government has reported data.
The bad news: The big dip in the numbers was sales in the western United States, where sales were down 27% from a year ago, to an annual rate of 95,000 homes. Since the weather wasn't a major factor in the West -- it has been dry in California and not snowy as it has been in the East and Midwest, for instance -- that's at least a mild concern.
Sales rose 20% in the southern states to 255,000 homes a year, so concerns about the economy may not be the problem. Instead, it may be that affordability is an issue in some markets, especially out west.
A new report by Trulia.com says the national housing market is still about 5% undervalued, but a larger number of local housing markets have seen home prices rise faster than local fundamentals should support. And they are concentrated in the west -- right of the top 11 California metropolitan areas are overvalued, Trulia's Jed Kolko says, out of 19 overvalued metros nationwide.
There's not any huge risk of a new housing bubble -- as Kolko points out, the Case-Shiller/Standard & Poor's House Price indexes show price growth moderating in recent months.
In a new report Tuesday, Case-Shiller said its 20-city home price index actually dropped 0.1% in January before seasonal adjustments. But the relative vigor of the recovery in months to come could vary depending on affordability, especially out west and in South Florida, Kolko's data suggest.
Home builder stocks are mixed Tuesday, so the market doesn't appear to be taking this news as a deal maker or deal breaker. With final winter storms rolling through much of the eastern U.S., the next big housing news to watch is the April sales, which will give a pretty clear indication of prospects for the full year.
Housing Sales Still Under the Weather, But Not From the Weather
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Here's what you need to know about the housing numbers released Tuesday.

North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem is warning state residents about a computer virus/computer scam using a false security warning claiming to be from the FBI threatening imprisonment unless the user follows instructions and pays a demanded fine.
Stenehjem said "by using the name of a government agency and threatening imprisonment, the scam artists hope to intimidate the victim into sending money immediately. This is the worst kind of scam."
Monday Barnes County law enforcement personnel said that they had not seen any reports of the scam from local residents.
Rachelle Muir didn't plan on competing in the Miss America Scholarship Preliminary Pageant while her little sister Sarah lay unconscious in an Atlanta, Ga. hospital bed, but she did it anyway. It's what her sister would have wanted, she said.
FARGO — All year long, Valley City High School senior Jasmine Stevens played a crucial role in the volleyball team's offensive success, and when the team entered Friday's elimination match in the Eastern Dakota Conference tournament, coach Katy Van Dyke had her ready for more.
"I talked to her (Thursday) and told her 'I'm going to depend on you. You might not kill the ball every time, but you are so dependable about getting the ball over the net,'" Van Dyke said.
VCSU Swept at A.I.I. Tourney
The Valley City State University volleyball team was eliminated on the first day of the Association of Independent Institutions' conference tournament Friday in Mayville.
The Vikings lost 3-0 to both Ashford (Iowa) University and Jamestown College.
Against Ashford, the Vikings had a hard time finding kills and fell 25-16, 25-15, 25-12.
Special Chocolate Day Story Hour at Library
Special to the Times-Record
Wednesday Valley City junior high school teacher Kristi Shanenko and her third-period eighth-grade reading class did a special library story hour recently at the Valley City/Barnes County Public Library.
The special story hour was in connection with the library's annual Chocolate Day fundraiser Saturday which raises money for children's materials.
Keith Hovland's service during the Vietnam Conflict ended more than 40 years ago, but to him, it still feels like yesterday.
Rhiny Weber's World War II military service may have been shorter than some of his contemporaries at two years, but during those two years he earned a Bronze Star, three battle stars, an infantry combat badge and a POW medal, and spent six months as a prisoner of war in Germany.
Weber became a U.S. soldier at the age of 20 in December 1943, and took basic and infantry training in Fannin, Texas. He spent his time as a soldier in Italy serving in the infantry with Company F, 351st Infantry Regiment, 88th Division.
Austin Gordon spent the last ten years serving overseas in three different deployments with the North Dakota National Guard, while attending Valley City State University and raising a family of three with his wife Nicole. He said traveling with the Guard gave him much to learn and much to experience.
Gordon, staff sergeant, was first deployed to Kosovo in 2000, two years after he joined the military. His engineer battalion spent six months there, doing construction on the camp and a little work in the surrounding areas.
The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and the North Dakota Highway Patrol (NDHP) have issued a No Travel Advisory for the northwest region of the state due to freezing rain creating glare ice causing hazardous travel conditions. This No Travel Advisory includes areas surrounding Williston, Watford City, New Town, Crosby, Bowbells and Stanley.
I just heard a fella say it and I couldn't agree more. The man said, "If I have to hear the words "Pew" and "Gallup" used together ever again –I hope it has to do with a horse that's passing gas and not political polls!" Smart man, that fella, he is.
I know with some certainty I am maturing. Call me a late bloomer if you must. I am what I am. I'm just a girl trying to get by another day. I'm betting you are too. The new mature me isn't going to say a word about the election, the outcome or my opinion on it all. No sir! I'm going to train my tongue to be wise or die trying.

AMSPolished Large Bell Cast Aluminum Utility ATV Wheel
- Part #: 551751
- Manufacturer Part #: 02300034
This item is no longer available
Overview of AMS Polished Large Bell Cast Aluminum Utility ATV Wheel
- Advanced, one-piece lightweight aluminum wheel design
- Reinforced outer lip is stronger than stamped or spun aluminum wheels
- Available for all of today's popular utility ATV models
- Aftermarket wheels are not exact matches for OEM wheels. This wheel is specified for every model that it will bolt onto, regardless of the original wheels width, diameter, offset and other specifications. It is your responsibility to determine whether it has similar specifications to your original wheel or not, and whether a tire size change is necessary when fitting it.
- When changing wheel offset, width, diameter or tire size from the original, you must check clearance for the brakes, a-arms, fenders and any other items that the wheel or tire may interfere with before mounting a tire on the wheel or the assembly to your ATV. If the replacement wheels offset does not match the original exactly, it is better to have less offset in and more offset out to eliminate possible clearance issues.
- For additional information, including your original wheel sizes and offset, refer to our printed catalog or contact us.

Football: Messi targets record fourth world player award
More News from Agence France-Presse
ZURICH – Record-breaking Lionel Messi is poised to become the first player to win four successive Ballon d'Or awards on Monday, sealing his status as the greatest player of his generation.
The 25-year-old is the overwhelming favourite to see off the challenge of Barcelona teammate Andres Iniesta and great Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo for the prize.
It will crown another landmark year for the Argentine who is the top scorer in La Liga this season with 25 goals having also broken Gerd Mueller's 40-year record for the most goals in a calendar year.
He finished 2012 with an astonishing 91 goals in all competitions.
But Messi has insisted that his scoring records will mean nothing if Barcelona do not go on to take La Liga title off Real or fail to win the Champions League.
"It's nice to beat records but the win for the team is what is important. My goals are to win titles with the team, the Spanish league, Spanish Cup or Champions League is more important than any personal records."
He remains just as modest when it comes to Monday's awards in Zurich.
"If Iniesta wins, it will be well-deserved for all that he has done, for the way he plays. Again, it will also be a prize for the dressing room."
Messi and former French star, UEFA president Michel Platini, are the only players to win three straight Ballon d'Or awards while Dutch stars Johan Cruyff and Marco Van Basten have also won three accolades.
Barca coach Tito Vilanova has no doubt that Messi will be a deserving winner.
"Leo's great quality is that he plays as if he still a child," said Vilanova.
"He was always good as a youngster and you didn't need to be a coach to say that. It was a joy to see him play as a 15-year-old and that continues now."
Portugal captain Ronaldo admits he would love to win but it would not be the end of the world if the prize went elsewhere.
"If I win, perfect. If I don't, never mind, life goes on. But obviously I'd love to win. I'm not going to lie or be hypocritical," said the 27-year-old Real Madrid forward.
"Fair or unfair, the decision will be what it will be… I'll maybe be very happy or maybe very sad. But that's life. I can't live according to an individual prize,"
the 2008 Ballon d'Or winner added.
Other awards on Monday will see Vicente Del Bosque — who led Spain to Euro 2012 glory and made them the first side to win three back-to-back tournaments — in line for the best coach award.
He will be up against Real Madrid's Jose Mourinho and former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola.
For women's player of the year, five-time Brazilian champion Marta goes up against US pair Aby Wambach and Alex Morgan.

Why can't I call some of my contacts in Skype for iOS?
This may be because you are trying to call a contact from the main address book on your iPhone or iPad, rather than from your Skype contact list, so make sure you are viewing your contacts within the Skype application.
You also cannot call or video call your Messenger contacts if they are not signed in to their Microsoft account using Skype.
If a contact from your Skype contact list doesn't have a Skype account, they cannot participate in a video call. You may have added a new contact by manually typing in a new name and phone number in your Skype contact list, but if no Skype account is associated with that person, you can't video call them.
However, you can still use Skype to make low cost calls to that person or send them a text message. You'll only need a little Skype Credit or a subscription. Simply tap Voice Call or SMS.

Here is a link to the WOWT News story video:
Here is a transcript of the news story:
In the corner of his basement, Bryon Line is hard at work. When he's not painting a scene made by Mother Nature, he's recreating an image from his 15(??) years in the army. "You get reminded if you ever did it, what it felt like to be one of those guys," Line said. Like Bryon, many veterans find therapy in art. "You found energy, you felt motivation, and you felt comraderies," Line added.
Bryon's paintings are on display at this gallery – 75 miles away in the quaint town of Kimballton, Iowa. Line says, "I'm very much impressed with the way they've helped revive Kimballton, Iowa.
But the connection between Bryon Line and Kimballton is thicker than the oil based paints on his canvas. "I served in the marine corp from 70-74 and I was in the air wings," Scott Smith, Director of the New Century Art Guild said. Like Bryon, Scott Smith is a veteran. Eight years ago he helped create the New Century Art Guild – an art organization created by Veterans for Veterans.
"One veteran in particular, I challenged to make a series of paintings about his experiences and it changed his life," Troy Muller, art instructor and board member of the New Century Art Guild, states proudly. Through funding and workshops the Guild helps Veterans reconnect with Society and recapture the comraderies experienced in the armed services. "Like I said before, those kids (using the brush) and getting into it and forgetting all that stuff that was scaring them, it talks to you," New Century Art Guild board member, Jim O'Keefe adds.
A movement started by a handful of guys, making a difference in veterans lives, one brush stroke at a time.
The Art Guild is undertaking a massive project. They're planning on building a Living Liberties sculpture park that will feature up to 30 life size statues. These monuments will be dedicated to American servicemen and women who fought for our freedom. The price tag is hefty… 2.7 million dollars… and it will be funded mostly through private donations.

GARDEN GROVE – A woman accused of drugging her estranged husband, cutting off his penis and putting it through a garbage disposal appeared in court for the first time Wednesday.
Catherine Kieu Becker, 48, of Garden Grove has been charged with felony torture, aggravated mayhem and sentencing enhancements for great bodily injury and personal use of a knife.
(To read about how investigators and therapists were stunned by this case, click here.)
Becker, who appeared in a blue jail jumpsuit with her long, dark hair hanging in front of her face, was assigned a public defender. She did not speak, except to answer "Yes" when the judge asked if she agreed to postpone her arraignment.
Her arraignment was set for July 22 at the West Justice Center in Westminster. Judge Debra Carrillo ordered her held without bail.
"It's hard to believe what would motivate a person to do this sort of thing," said Susan Kang Schroeder, chief of staff of the Orange County District Attorney's Office, outside of court. "It's one of the worst things you could do to a person short of killing him."
If convicted of all counts, Becker faces a maximum sentence of life in state prison with the possibility of parole.
She was being held at Orange County Jail, where she was placed in the medical ward to be psychologically evaluated, said Jim Amormino, Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesman.
Detectives interviewed the 60-year-old victim Tuesday at UCI Medical Center in Orange, where he underwent surgery and was listed in good condition, Garden Grove police Lt. Jeff Nightengale said. Police corrected his age.
"The detective described his demeanor as in 'surprisingly good spirits' for everything that he has gone through," Nightengale said.
At about 9 p.m. Monday, officers went to a condominium in the 1400 block of Flower Street after a woman called 911 and reported a medical emergency, Nightengale said.
Becker, 48, met officers at the door and told them her husband was in the bedroom, Nightengale said. Becker also told officers that he "deserved it," he said.
Officers found the man tied to the bed and bleeding profusely from his groin, he said.
Becker is accused of using an unknown poison or drug in her husband's food to make him sleepy, Nightengale said. She then tied him to the bed and, as he woke up, she cut off his penis with a sharp 10-inch kitchen knife, Nightengale said.
She tossed the penis in the garbage disposal and turned it on, Nightengale said.

You're very welcome, and I really enjoyed the entry
As an author, Lustbader is pretty formulaic in his approach, and most, if not all, his books feature a twin timeline, shifting between the two throughout the book till they conclude at the end (the flashback timeline never meets up to the beginning of 'the present', but is always related) but he does what he does very well, and uses excellent description and very well defined characters, and it was that characteristic which I was comparing your writing to, not his formulaic approach

Thanks ^_^ I wanted to take a slightly different route than 'just another drone', remembered reading about the Royal Protocol, and thought it might be interesting to see what might happen if that process was somehow interrupted. And of course, in First Contact, she introduced herself as the One who is Many, I figure that could indeed be her designation, or at least a recognizable one ^_^

At this moment, Eleven is probably best described as an uncrowned Queen... She has not only the knowledge of the Collective, but all the capabilities of a Borg Queen, just no connection to the Collective. A potential mini-spoiler is that I
mentally debating the idea that Eleven really
One who is Many, but simply used the history of Holly Masters as a ruse to relieve suspicion (a bit like how in Master and Commander, the captain of a French vessel pretends to be the ship's doctor, and that the dead guy in front of him is the captain, so he can escape) after all, she would have the knowledge of millions of officers at her disposal, so would be able to concoct such a story at a moment's notice, and simply relied on Amanda's willingness to want to give the benefit of the doubt... Of course, that's just an idea, I'm really not sure how and where to go with Eleven from here, that is just one option I'm mulling over, she may indeed remain true to her story of being an assimilated officer... I may have her promoted to replace Lambert, I may have her brought to Starfleet Command for debriefing and then left in their hands, I really haven't decided how things will go there yet, I think that's why I felt the need to write

Review: HTC One (M8)
March 30, 2014
There are a lot of great smartphones out there. But what if you're looking for one that was forged out of premium materials, with a focus on high-end design?

By Eric Mack
March 25, 2014
HTC announced its successor to last year's heralded HTC One in New York on Tuesday, which we'll be calling the HTC One M8. Although the main details of the phone had largely been leaked in advance of the event, there were still a few surprises and a lot to like in a phone that keeps and improves upon the best features of the original One, while also adding new features from other top phones of the past year and taking an above-and-beyond approach to customer service.

Samsung Galaxy S5 vs. HTC One (2013)

Read on, as Gizmag compares the two phones' features and specs. Read More
2013: The year Android grew up

|By: ATRI Staff; ©2006
|Critics have a problem: any time archaeology does not directly confirm something the Bible teaches, the tendency is to allege an error in the text. On the other hand, liberal critics frequently tend to avoid the use of archaeology where it confirms the Bible! This type of bias, the authors say, seems evident to everyone—except those doing it.
The noted classical scholar Professor E. N. Blaiklock once wrote, quite correctly, "Recent archaeology has destroyed much nonsense and will destroy more. And I use the word nonsense deliberately, for theories and speculations find currency in biblical scholarship that would not be tolerated for a moment in any other branch of literary or historical criticism."[1] Geisler and Brooks remark, "As for the critical theories which were spawned in the early 1800's but still persist today, they are left without substantiation. The great archaeologist William F. Albright says, 'All radical schools in New Testament criticism which have existed in the past or which exist today are pre-archaeological, and are therefore, since they were built in Der Luft [in the air], quite antiquated today.'"[2]
Indeed, the biases of modern critical biblical scholarship seems evident to everyone except those doing it. And those with biases to uphold usually don't want to be bothered with troubling little facts. As Kitchen points out:
Thus, "Biblical studies have long been hindered by the persistence of long-outdated philosophical and literary theories (especially of nineteenth-century stamp), and by wholly inadequate use of first-hand sources in appreciating the earlier periods of the Old Testament story in particular."[4] One predominant example is the documentary hypothesis or the "JEDP" theory of the first five books of the Bible, which we will discuss in a moment.
The irony, or perhaps hypocrisy, of liberal critical scholarship at this point is illustrated in its two-minded approach to biblical archaeology. On the one hand, any time archaeology does not directly confirm something the Bible teaches, the tendency is to allege an error in the text. Thus, "any element in the [biblical] traditions which was not corroborated by archaeological evidence has been considered suspect or anachronistic."[5] On the other hand, liberal critics frequently tend to avoid the use of archaeology where it confirms the Bible:
For example,
To cite another example, archaeology has discredited the theories of form criticism, which holds that the content of the gospels was largely invented and only written down 100-150 years after the apostles lived, in the second century A.D.[8] It may surprise no one that form critics have ignored archaeology when it discredits personal theories that they have held to for emotional as well as academic reasons. But how scholarly are they being? Scholars, presumably, are interested in the truth and will allow the evidence to take them where it will. Yet when it comes to the Bible, it seems there aren't very many real scholars in modern academia.
An illustration involves the documentary hypothesis. This theory rejects Mosaic authorship in the fifteenth century B.C., and supposes a much later compilation by a variety of authors who wrote documents termed "J," "E," "D," and "P." This material was later shuffled and reassembled by editors to form the Pentateuch and, allegedly, later writings of the Old Testament also. Yet "even the most ardent advocate of the documentary theory must admit that we have as yet no single scrap of external, objective material (i.e., tangible) evidence for either the existence or the history of 'J,' 'E,' or any other alleged source-document."[9]
For more than 100 years the Graf-Wellhausen or "documentary" theory has been taught in most seminaries and universities as the "absolute truth" concerning the literary evolution and development of the Old Testament—and yet not a shred of evidence exists to support it! Instead, this theory has been thoroughly disproven for decades, even by non-evangelical scholarship, yet it continues to be taught as truth. How's that for illustrating the objectivity of those in the scholarly community supporting this theory? Essentially, liberal biblical scholars are promoting elaborately devised myths in order to reject Mosaic authorship and the divine inspiration of the Old Testament so that they can "uphold" their own personal views of the Bible as a humanly devised document. What could be fairer?
As Dr. Kitchen infers, the documentary hypothesis, since it is disproved, should be abandoned, but perhaps one should not hold one's breath. Anyone who reads even a relatively brief survey of the evidence against the documentary hypothesis, as that given by the noted biblical and linguistic scholar, Gleason L. Archer in his A Survey of Old Testament Introduction, will realize how thoroughly liberal Old Testament scholarship has been based in fantasy. For example:
Incidentally, Archer's text, A Survey of Old Testament Introduction has many examples of archaeological confirmation of Old Testament books; and yet he also points out that an attitude of skeptical prejudice toward the Bible "has persisted, without any logical justification."[12] That the majority of liberal Old Testament scholars allow their personal biases to dictate their research methods and conclusions—merely to support personal views—is no small indictment given the fact that such theories have been discredited for decades.
What one finds through archaeological research is that alleged biblical errors have later been shown to be factual truths. What else, then, can one conclude about higher critical scholarship—other than the fact that it is the problem, not the Bible? "In the light of past discoveries one may expect that future archaeological finds will continue to support the biblical traditions against radical reconstructions."[13]
As we have noted, biblical critics have pointed to all kinds of people, places, and things in the Bible that no archaeological evidence could confirm. Skeptics rashly heralded such lack of confirmation as proof of "biblical errors." Consider one more example:
In fact, until scholars can manage to keep their biases against the biblical text in check and treat it as they do other ancient documents, probably no amount of extrabiblical supporting evidence will convince them otherwise. And until this occurs, conservatives will be correct in referencing such work more as propaganda than good scholarship.[15] Further, archaeologists sometimes admit that their chronology has been wrong and that this is why there has been a lack of supporting evidence for the Scriptures. As noted scholar Dr. John Warwick Montgomery points out,
There is ongoing debate among scholars as to dates, and even as to the nature of such buildings as the stables or store houses dated now to Ahab's time instead of to Solomon's.
Most conservative scholars, however, have always placed Abraham close to the third millennium B.C., about 1900 B.C.
Nevertheless, as archaeological excavations continued in Israel, time and again what was once an "error" was subsequently confirmed as fact. Whether it was the fact of a branch of the Hittites mentioned some 50 times in the Bible (as early as Genesis 10:15), King Sargon (Isaiah 20:1), Darius the Mede (Daniel 6:1),[18] or many others, biblical history was repeatedly upheld:
Archaeological research has established the identity of literally hundreds of places—in Mesopotamia, Persia, ancient Canaan, and Egypt—that are mentioned in the Bible. Furthermore, the discovery of thousands of historical texts in Egypt and Mesopotamia has enabled scholars to work out the historical chronology of the ancient world in considerable detail. Historical synchronisms have been established for dating the accession of Solomon (ca. 961 B.C.), the accession of Jehu, the Israelite king (842/1 B.C.), the fall of Samaria (722/1 B.C.), and the first capture of Jerusalem (March 15/16, 579 B.C.).[19]

Franco is the most hospitable owner. You can tell through the taste of every dish that he takes pride in his food. The atmosphere is warm and easy going. Anything you choose on the menu will be a treat. It is my go to spot for a nice Italian meal in the city.
Posted by lawlas on 07/15/2009
This place has absolutely the best fresh, simple, and homemade pasta. The restaurant is not trying to be trendy or hip; just trying to serve authentic Tuscan fare. I go almost every Sunday evening for a serving of the special pasta of the day, which has never disappointed me. The staff at Trattoria could not be friendlier, making sure eveything is to your liking. I strongly recommend this place to anyone who wants a heartwarming and friendly experience--something hard to come by these days.

My husband and I eat here several times a year. In fact, we are taking friends for dinner tomorrow night. The staff is wonderful and the food is consistently good (try the fetticini with truffles - it's not always on the menu, but they'll make it. It's divine!). We have never had a problem getting a table, yet it does a steady business. You never feel rushed or hovered over. Just a great little neighborhood place.

Dessert: Tartufi Paid: $98 +tip Service: Slow but kind of nice, adds to the atmosphere, attentive when they do come around. Just kind of found this place walking around and was pleasantly suprised. Food was fresh and came out of kitchen quickly. Can really take your time and enjoy a night with good company. Get dessert. Thought this was great value for quality. Ceasar Salad was nothing special. Everything else met or exceeded expectations. Manga!

We've been to restaurants all over Italy and also all over NY. This is one of the best Italian restaurants in the City. The wine list is well-priced, the ingredients are the freshest and the value for the money is incredible. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a real Italian experience in NY.

Went here with my cousins from out of town. Excellent food. Great decor. The waiters were knowledgeable about the menu but the services was a bit slow. Still made for a great evening.
Posted by Tim on 10/19/2007
Trattoria Toscana is a welcome addition to the dining scene. This place has great food at a very good value. The menu certainly offers a little something for anyone, pasta, seafood, steak, veal, etc. Fresh pasta such as the seafood linguine is a can't miss. The chicken paillard is one of the best I've ever had, thinly pounded chicken topped with fresh greens and a great balsamic dressing. Try the housemade sausage with cannellini beans and you will feel like you are eating in a small Tuscan village. Try this place once and I guarantee you will be going back!

DANA POINT – Sturdy walking shoes laced up, cap in place, government-issued bag strapped to shoulder, she walks up to the door and knocks.
"Hello! This is Marcia Jenkins with the U.S. Census. Is anyone home?" she says, aiming her voice through the door. "I just want to conduct a ten-minute interview."
It's another beautiful, sunny morning here in a neighborhood that overlooks the ocean, and the former saleswoman is going door-to-door, sans the selling now. Her job is to find and report where each person was living on April 1, 2010, the National Census Day, the 24-hour moment designated by law that gives the government its once-a-decade demographics.
That was also the day that the woman who is being paid to count households was about to lose her own.
Jenkins, 56, lost her Dana Point apartment because she has been out of work for nearly a year. Unemployment checks helped pay the rent for a while, but those ran out in January. She couldn't get an extension on the benefits, like the millions of other out-of-work Americans, because her last sales job had been commission-only and her employer hadn't paid in to the system.
Her last day with an address was Easter Sunday. That's the day she has recorded in her memory, marked now by the loss of her pretty bedroom with its view of a stand of trees on a hillside. Marked with the knowledge that she gave away the comfy floral chair where the single mom read books to her two children as they cuddled in her arms. Marked by remembering her Honda packed to the sunroof with clothes, pictures, suitcases, a life.
It was just after 5 p.m. that Easter evening and Jenkins drove toward Mission Viejo to visit her daughter, 19-year-old Jennifer, who had to find another place to live when her mom lost her apartment. Jenkins was supposed to stay with a friend in Redondo Beach, but that fell through at the last minute. She had $100 in savings, $14 in checking and a few food stamps.
"I remember driving and thinking, 'God, I don't have anywhere to go that I know anymore. I just lost my home. And I don't know where I am. I'm going to go see Jennifer and I'm going to do my best not to upset her and then... maybe I'll just park the car,'" she said.
Jenkins ended up sleeping on the couch of a good friend, a generous guy who is allowing her to stay with him in Dana Point while she gets her bearings. But despite what appeared to be a destitute situation, the kind of situation that would bring any of us to our knees, Jenkins had hope. Hope in the form of a job.
She was hired in April and started working in May, earning $17 an hour and working 25-30 hours a week. She's one of an estimated 653,000 people put to work this year by the Census, jobs that have been a lifeline to many.
Jenkins is grateful for the work, proud of it even. The woman who used to sell ads for Yellow Pages and small publications now walks up and down the hills of Dana Point, telling neighbors that it's important to be counted so California can get the appropriate number of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives or get federal aid for hospitals, schools and emergency services.
A former endurance walker, Jenkins carries her big black book of addresses door to door, knocking, talking, dodging dangerous dogs. She's friendly, polite and diligent in writing down each report. She also uses her skills as a saleswoman and is proud when she finds what she calls her "stragglers," people others weren't able to find, and then to "close them," using sales parlance to describe closing the deal, how she successfully recorded their information.
She feels good about being part of the community again, about returning some of the favors she received. Because when she swallowed her pride and asked for help, she got it from local churches and non-profits. She received food stamps and admits that they wouldn't have had anything to eat in the apartment otherwise. She got medical care at a free clinic in Laguna Beach and Pilgrimage Family Therapy in Laguna Hills. "I disclosed my soul on paper," is how she describes signing up for help with food and rent.

American Idol: Has Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey's Feud Fizzled?
Originally posted 12/13/2012 02:45PM
Fans hoping to see new American Idol judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj battle it out in an epic feud may be disappointed. The new panelists, along with host Ryan Seacrest, took a break from filming Hollywood week to chat with the press on Wednesday, and by (almost) all accounts season 12 is steeped in mutual admiration, sunshine and rainbows.
Despite her and Carey's heated exchange during auditions in Charlotte, N.C., Minaj had nothing but kind words for her fellow judges.
"We've jelled really, really well as a group," she told reporters. "We have a great chemistry. We have a great rhythm now together, and we really are taking it serious. ... We really are rooting for the contestants and we want to find a great American Idol."
For Idol veteran Randy Jackson, that means he'll play the hard-to-please role vacated by Simon Cowell.
Nicki Minaj Screams at Mariah Carey on American Idol Set
Originally posted 10/03/2012 10:00AM
Just two days into filming the upcoming season of American Idol, Mariah Carey laughed off reports of a feud with fellow new judge Nicki Minaj, who also said that everything was "wonderful, darling."
What a difference two weeks makes!
In a video posted on TMZ.com, Minaj is seen and heard yelling at Carey, who seems to be talking back – but in a quieter voice. Though it's hard to tell what they are saying in the fuzzy footage from the Charlotte, N.C., set, one thing is for sure – Minaj has been repeatedly bleeped out.
According to TMZ, Minaj says, "Don't lose your head. Don't lose your head ... Don't tell me I'm a gangster," and, "I'm not f–––in' putting up with her f–––ing highness over there. Figure it the f––– out."

Joe Gorga Lashes Out During Explosive New Jersey Housewives Finale: VIDEO
Originally posted 09/22/2012 04:00PM
It wouldn't be a Posche fashion show without the drama, and in the season finale of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, there's plenty of name-calling, finger-pointing and bleeping to go around.
After last week's episode, during which a man appeared claiming to have employed Melissa Gorga as a stripper, everyone is all riled up. Was Teresa Giudice involved in setting up her sister-in-law? Joe Gorga seems to think so.
But he's also steaming mad at Posche owner Kim D., who manages to insert herself in all the drama, too.
"You're the scum of the Earth," Joe tells Kim D. outside the show, while Caroline Manzo and Melissa look on.
Mariah Carey on Rumored American Idol Feud: It's Too Soon!

No drama here – well, at least not yet!
Though Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj were just confirmed to be judges on American Idol's upcoming 12th season alongside Mariah Carey and Randy Jackson, the Internet is already abuzz with rumors of an on-set feud. Too many divas on the panel, perhaps?
"How can we feud in two days? I think a feud takes a little longer," Carey, who confirmed her participation on the show in July, told reporters at a press conference in New York on Monday, shooting down rumors of discord.
For her part, Minaj says she's just happy to be there, telling reporters, "It's wonderful, darling," when asked how she liked being on the show so far.
Added Jackson: "We're having fun, dude. We've been having a good time. There has been a lot of laughs."

Teresa Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita haven't exactly been close lately, but no one could have predicted that their issues run this deep.

Hatfields & McCoys: Whose Side Are You On?
Originally posted 05/30/2012 11:00AM
Hatfields & McCoys, the History Channel's epic miniseries starring Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton as the heads of the famous feuding families in the post-Civil War South, comes to an end Wednesday after the trilogy's first installment Monday registered nearly 14 million viewers – a ratings record for cable.
Costner and Paxton play close friends Devil Anse Hatfield and Randall McCoy, whose personal conflict escalated into a decades-long rivalry between their families in Kentucky and West Virginia, and nearly led to war between the two states in the post-war years.
"Costner comes as close to a hero as this piece gets," opined the Los Angeles Times TV critic. "It is a truly brilliant performance, worthy of an Emmy for the pipe-smoking alone."
Meanwhile, The Washington Post said, "Paxton takes full advantage of his juicier role as Randall McCoy, a war camp survivor with a taste for vengeance and hellfire religion."
Chris Brown Wishes Rihanna Happy Birthday
Originally posted 02/20/2012 02:05PM
While some people were not happy about Chris Brown's performances and win at the Grammy Awards, his ex Rihanna seems to be in a good place with him.
Brown tweeted, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBYN!" to the singer (real name Robyn Rihanna Fenton) on Monday, her actual birthday, and Rihanna thanked him on her own Twitter account.
Likely to spark even more controversy than Brown, who pled guilty to assaulting Rihanna in 2009, appearing at the Grammys is rumors that he was at her early birthday bash last week and is singing on a remix of her track "Birthday Cake," called "Cake."
