Health Insurance Buyer's Guide Five Steps to Buying Your Own Health Insurance Reflecting changes from 2010 health reform laws www.ehealthinsurance.com Individual and Family Health Insurance Introduction When you purchase a health insurance policy on your own – for yourself or your family – you're buying what's known as Individual and Family health insurance. Many people turn to Individual and Family coverage because they have no employer-sponsored options, they are self-employed, or their employer-sponsored options are getting too expensive. There are a number of major life events – unemployment, starting a business, early retirement, college graduation – that may require consumers to purchase health insurance on their own. Some buy coverage for themselves only, others for their whole families. How do you know what kind of Individual and Family plan is best for your needs? The purpose of this Health Insurance Buyer's Guide is to address this and other questions. In the following pages, we'll lead you through a five-step process to help familiarize you with Individual and Family health insurance and help you make an informed purchasing decision.

Axel-In-Charge: In-Depth with Alonso on Marvel's "All-New, All-Different" Lineup
Comic Books
Danger Club, the teen-superhero miniseries from writer Landry Q. Walker, artist Eric Jones and colorist Rusty Drake, earned acclaim upon its debut in April 2012 for its blend of classic comic-book archetypes and decidedly darker sensibilities. It's a violent mix of Teen Titans, Watchmen and Lord of the Flies, with young sidekicks — both heroes and villains — left to their own devices after their mentors head into space to face a cosmic threat, and then never return.
However, just as the Image Comics miniseries was kicking into high gear, it was derailed by real-world concerns when the fourth issue was delayed after one of Drake's children was struck by a car. That contributed to a domino effect, with Issue 5 arriving in April 2013, after which Danger Club went on hiatus.
However, that changes late this month, when the eight-issue series returns for its final leg: Issue 6 goes on sale Jan. 28, followed by Issue 7 on Feb. 25 and Issue 8 on March 25.
Joshua Williamson and Andrei Bressan have a fun series going with Birthright. Debuting in October from Skybound, the fantasy is in the middle of its first arc, introducing Mikey, a boy from our world who crossed over to a fantasy world at age 10, only to return a year later as a 30-year-old warrior hero. After a rocky reunion with his family — his father Aaron, his mother Wendy and his "older" brother Brennan — Mikey escaped police custody and went out on the road, on a mission to take out five evil wizards who found their way into our reality.
However, not all is as it seems: Mikey is under the influence of the Nevermind, an evil presence at the core of problems in the other world, and his mission is anything but transparent.
ROBOT 6 spoke with Williamson about the direction of Birthright, balancing different aspects of the story, and the importance of choice and family as the series moves forward. Skybound also provided us with exclusive pages from Issue 4.
Best known to U.S. audiences for his work on Blue Beetle and his collaboration with Scott Snyder on American Vampire, artist Rafael Albuquerque is exchanging the world of superheroes and the supernatural for the Meld, an inhospitable dimension littered with, in his words, "temporal garbage."
It's the setting of Ei8ht, the creator-owned miniseries Albuquerque co-wrote with Mike Johnson (Supergirl), debuting Feb. 18 from Dark Horse. Based on the artist's Brazilian webcomic Tune 8, the five-issue series centers on a chrononaut named Joshua who takes on a suicide mission to save his dying wife, only to find himself trapped in the Meld with little memory.
Albuquerque spoke with ROBOT 6 about the evolution of Ei8ht, his love for science fiction, and his creative goals for the series. He also shared an exclusive preview of the first issue.
Among the critically acclaimed series from Monkeybrain Comics, Amelia Cole by D.J. Kirkbride, Adam P. Knave and Nick Brokenshire stands out as one of the more successful. By success, we mean the creators' ability to consistently produce digital releases of individual issues, followed by collected editions release through IDW Publishing.
To date, Amelia Cole has produced 19 issues (with the 20th arriving this month), and three trade paperbacks: Amelia Cole and the Unknown World; Amelia Cole and the Hidden War; and Amelia Cole and the Enemy Unleashed. In terms of digital releases, Issue 20 will mark the second part of Amelia Cole and the Impossible Fate.
As part of this interview about the series, Kirkbride and Knave shared an early look at pages from the next issue.
Mythology is the intellectual gateway that's gotten many readers interested in becoming a writer or artist. But few are as passionate about the subject as George O'Connor, creator of Olympians, the 12-book series from First Second recounting the Greek myths. This month, he releases one of the volumes he's clearly looked forward to since first embarking on the project: Ares: Bringer of War.
Ahead of the book's release, O'Connor spoke with ROBOT 6 on what appeals to him about mythology and these characters in particular, and the challenges of adaptation. He also recounts how became friends with Age of Bronze creator Eric Shanower not through their shared fondness for classical mythology, but rather a mutual appreciation of Oz.
Andrew MacLean is one of many artists I've enjoyed following over the past few years, from his self-published work on the two volumes of Head Lopper to his collaborations with writers like Jim Gibbons, Nolan T Jones and Jamie Gambell. This year he'll be hitting comics in a big way with the release of ApocalyptiGirl, a graphic novel about a girl, a cat and an apocalypse.
Due out May 20 from Dark Horse (and listed in the current Previews), ApocalyptiGirl is both written and drawn by MacLean. I spoke with him about the book, as well as his plans for more Head Lopper.
Fantagraphics has announced plans to publish Benjamin Marra's latest comic, Terror Assaulter: O.M.W.O.T. (One Man War On Terror), in the fall.
Terror Assaulter: O.M.W.O.T. (One Man War On Terror) is a tongue-in-cheek action comic about a highly skilled government operator who takes on a group of … oh, what does it really matter who the bad guys are? Bottom line, they're bad guys, and O.M.W.O.T. is more than happy to chop, kick, shoot and otherwise eradicate them from existence. As Fantagraphics puts it:
Since they signed an exclusive five-year contract with Image Comics last year, the crime-comics duo of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips have been rolling out newer, weirder stories with the finale of Fatale and their latest Hollywood noir The Fade Out.
But at the end of this month, they'll return to their biggest project, the anthologized yet interconnected neo noir series Criminal. Originally published though Marvel's Icon imprint beginning in 2006, the series returns on Jan. 28 with a one-two punch of Coward, the first Image Comics trade collection, and an all-new magazine-sized one-shot titled Criminal: Savage Edition.
We caught up with Brubaker about the return of Criminal, the one-shot's mix of prison life and '70s genre comics, and the future of his partnership with Phillips.
ROBOT 6: You've spoken a lot about picking up new readers with each project you've launched at Image, and because it's been a few years since you and Sean did a brand-new Criminal volume, I thought we'd start with the basics. How do you describe Criminal to those who haven't read it? It's a series with a high concept behind it, but it's not one of those "It's The Big Sleep … in Space!" kind of high concepts.
Ed Brubaker: It really doesn't have a high concept, does it? I usually just lean on saying it's won a bunch of awards and is critically acclaimed, because I don't know how to "one-sentence" it. But let's try …
Priya's Shakti is a comic that aims to change the world, or at least, one part of it.
The creation of writer Ram Devenini and artist Dan Goldman, Priya's Shakti uses elements of Indian religion and mythology to take on the difficult topic of rape and send a strong message that it's a crime and the victim is not to be blamed for it. The comic tells the story of a rape survivor who's cast out by her family, a situation that angers the gods; the resolution comes with a call to action.
The comic is available for free on comiXology and debuts in print this week at the Mumbai Film and Comics Convention. However, it's not limited by the usual distribution structures: As Devenini explains to ROBOT 6, the creators have partnered with the Indian charitable trust Apne Aap Women Worldwide to get the title out to girls in classrooms and communities far from comics shops. They also painted street murals in Mumbai that include an augmented reality feature; when viewed with a smart phone, parts of the murals are animated.
I spoke with Devenini and Goldman about making the comic, the special features, and how they plan to spread the word.
Zak Sally's Recidivist IV was one of the most difficult comics I've ever read. I don't mean that in an aesthetic or emotional or abstract sense. I mean it was physically difficult to read, as I frequently had to hold the comic at odd angles, or directly up against sunlight to be able to read certain sentences.
That's entirely intentional. Sally uses bright metallic inks, intricate, overlapping patterns and more to make the type difficult to discern, if not as downright enigmatic as the accompanying images. Containing short stories (although they feel more like essays or simple declarations at times) about characters at life-altering crossroads, and accompanied with a CD of drone music, Recidivist IV is generally what you thinks of when you hear the phrase "a challenging work." As he noted on his blog, it certainly isn't a "passive, easy reading experience."
It might also be one of the best comics of 2014, smart and elegant and breathtaking, a comic that forces you to engage with it but rewards you with its tightrope act as the reading experience and the content cohere into a breathtaking whole.
On one level, Eric Orchard's Maddy Kettle: The Adventure of the Thimblewitch is a classic adventure tale about a girl who has to go find the witch who turned her parents into kangaroo rats, in order to undo the spell. The art is reminiscent of children's fantasy tales, and Maddy meets a fanciful assortment of friends and foes along the way. However, after reading Orchard's recent tweets about his experiences with mental illness, I realized there are many layers to this story.
I asked Orchard if he would discuss the way his experiences with mental disorders — his mother's schizophrenia and his own depression and anxiety — have influenced his storytelling.
Brigid Alverson: How has mental illness affected your life?
Eric Orchard: My mother always suffered terribly from schizophrenia, but when my father died, when I was 2, she fell apart. Most of my childhood was my mother struggling to keep herself together. In retrospect it seems like a heroic feat; even though I suffered somewhat, she overcame things that I find astounding. She had reserves of strength and compassion that saw us through. She was battling fears and terrifying visions so that I could have some kind of normal life. Really, there was only so much she could do. What I recall most was the antipsychotics causing her to sleep most of the day. With no siblings or father, I was alone a lot. These were times I started writing and drawing. I had hours to tell elaborate stories and build worlds. I was taught to read very young by an aunt, and that also helped.
Jonathan Baylis recently published the seventh issue of his annual minicomic So Buttons, a collection of short, autobiographical stories, written by Baylis and illustrated by a variety of artists. They range from lighthearted anecdotes about his years in the comics and entertainment business (he started an internship at Marvel the day Jack Kirby died, and later worked for Valiant and Topps) to heartfelt stories about discovering beauty, confronting death and fighting his inner demons.
I first met Baylis (as he correctly remembers in this interview) last year a the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, although I was reading So Buttons before that. We have kept in touch since then, and it's always a pleasure to run into him at a show. When he told me that So Buttons #7 was about to go live on comiXology, it seemed like an opportune moment for an interview about his work and his experiences as a minicomics creator. He not only answered my questions with gusto, he sent along a ton of art and a full-length So Buttons story about an encounter with John Romita Sr. (below).
After lifetimes spent conquering alien species, what happens when a race of humanoid bugs finds itself about to die out, and is forced to work with others to survive? That's part of the premise of Colonial Souls by Nolan T Jones and Andrew MacLean, a four-issue science fiction series Jones is self-publishing digitally.
The first issue arrived earlier this month, and the second went live this morning on the comics' website (where you can also find previews of both issues). In addition to buying single issues, you can also get a price break by opting to purchase a subscription to the full series.
I spoke with Nolan about the comic, its distribution method and his other projects, including the role-playing website roll20.net.
Just as Voltron was assembled from other robots, the original Voltron television series was put together from several different Japanese anime — and it benefited in part from a happy accident.
Debuting in September 1984, the hugely popular cartoon was developed by World Events Productions, a small television production company based in St. Louis, Missouri. Several WEP executives had gone to a licensing convention and saw three Japanese shows they thought would do well in the United States. They requested the master tapes of all three, but Toei Company sent the wrong tapes for one of them, interpreting the request for the "one with the lion" as Beast King GoLion, although the WEP team had actually meant a different show. Ted Koplar, president and CEO of WEP, liked what he saw, recalling, "There was a human side that grabbed me." Indeed, it became the most popular Voltron cartoon, Lion Force Voltron.
Last month, Viz Media released Voltron: From Days of Long Ago, a 30th anniversary commemorative book that includes a behind-the-scenes history of the show, photos of the many Voltron toys, and a guidebook to the characters and storylines. I spoke with Traci Todd, senior editor for children's publishing at Viz and a huge Voltron fan herself, and Beth Kawasaki, senior editorial director, about went into the making of the book.
While at Small Press Expo in Bethesda, Maryland, I had the pleasure to chat briefly with Roger Langridge, creator of Fred the Clown and the Eisner Award-winning Snarked!
I spoke with the former Muppet Show cartoonist about his current projects — a return to BOOM! Studios with The Musical Monsters of Turkey Hollow and his creator-owned Abigail and the Snowman – what he likes about SPX, and what awesome comics he found at show. He came up with a doozie!
Brigid Alverson: Why are you here at SPX?
Roger Langridge: SPX is the first American convention I ever came to, in 2000.
What book were you debuting there?
I wasn't! I was in the country with my wife, and we were visiting New York together, and we thought we would work in a trip to SPX while we were here. We came just to see it and to check it out and see what it was like. I was at that point working on Fred the Clown as a webcomic, and I showed it around to a few people, and it really fired me up to do self-publishing. The next year I was planning to debut Fred the Clown at SPX 2001, and of course that's the one that was canceled because of 9/11. But that got me self-publishing, which is pretty much why I have a career today, I think.

Prince Rupert Port Authority, BC, saw the safe arrival of equipment integral to its coal export operations aboard 'HHL Macao'.
The stacker/reclaimer unit, for delivery to Ridley Terminals Inc. is considered important for the planned expansion of coal export operations.
The successful arrival of the vessel and subsequent movement of the stacker/reclaimer components required a wide-ranging team effort. The Prince Rupert Port Authority collaborated with ship's agent Peter Riley of G.W. Nickerson, experienced pilots of the BC Coast Pilots, tug operators from SMIT Marine, and members of ILWU Local 505.
"Today's complex operation demonstrated the value of a well-coordinated port community," said Gary Paulson, Vice-President of Operations and Harbour Master for the Prince Rupert Port Authority. "By working together, our partners in the marine industry ensured the efficient arrival of an enormous and valuable piece of infrastructure."
"The transit of this vessel through Porpoise Channel and into the harbour means that this part of our waterfront is coming back to life," said Paulson, who oversaw the delivery from aboard the Port Authority's patrol vessel. "The significant plans for development along the Ridley Island foreshore will result in increased marine traffic. We have confidence that vessels like the Macao can navigate these waters safely."
The Pacific Pilotage Authority and the BC Coast Pilots also used today's arrival as a training opportunity to re-familiarize marine pilots with the entrance to Porpoise Harbour. Five pilots were aboard the Macao as it made its approach into Prince Rupert.
The Macao berthed in Porpoise Harbour, on the east side of the Ridley Island industrial site, where the equipment will be transferred from the vessel to barges by Wainwright Marine. The ship was secured at the dock of the former Skeena Cellulose pulp mill.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
w. c. HlGLEY FOLDING LEG TABLE Filed Dec. 6, 1945 Nov. 14, 1950 A TTO R N EYS fTg-E [NVE'NTOR Whiz; 6. 7 02%;
Patented Nov. 14, 1950 FOLDING LEG; TABLE i Walter C. Higley, :Hillsdala Mich. Application December 6, 1945, SerialNo. 633,175
' This invention relates to a table and more particularly to a table having several interchangeable table tops containing an assortment of game boards which are securely locked in position by the use of clamps in cooperation with wedge means located near the top of the leg so that when the legs are folded the table tops will not fall out.
An object of the invention is to provide a table having hinged legs which are adapted to fold toward the center of the table and to avoid overlapping; the legs are made telescopic.
Thus the height of the table can be adjusted as desired and the legs when folded are retained in place by spring tensioned braces.
With the foregoing and other objects and advantages in view, the invention consists of the novel details of construction, arrangement, and combination of parts more fully hereinafter described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 is a bottom plan view of an embodiment of the invention showing the legs in folded position and secured in place by the spring tension braces.
Figure 2 is a sectional view of a corner of the table taken approximately on the line AB showing the removable tops securely locked in place by means of a pivoted clamp in combination with a locking device attached to the top part of each leg.
Figure 3 is a sectional view showing one of the legs in extended position for use with a section of the brace locked thereto and the clamp unlocked permitting the removable tops to be lifted out.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of one of the hold down clamps.
Figure 5 is a sectional view showing a telescoping leg section with a clip arrangement attached thereto by which means the brace is rigidly held in place.
Figure 6 is a detailed view of a brace bracket showing the method of attaching the spring to the brace and to the bracket.
Referring more in detail to the drawing the reference numeral I designates the border frame of the stationary top 3 which is preferably made of plywood and a block 2 positioned at each corner of the frame is joined to the frame by tongue and groove as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
Positioned and nested on the top 3 are the removable and interchangeable tops 4 and 5 which are retained within the border frame I and blocks 2.
Hold down clamps 6 for the removable tops 3 Claims. (01. 311-77) are pivotally mounted in a groove 2" in the face'of each of the blocks 2 by meansof' the rod 6 and to permit full swing of the clamps the blocks are cutout at I9 and the top 3 at Ill-as shown in Figures 2 and 3. 1
The. top or tubular section 1 of the leg has the lower section 8 slidable and telescopically mounted therein and clips I5 and notches I6 are placed at predetermined locations along-the length of the leg section 8. A slot 9 cut into the leg sections I, is adapted to receive the apex end of the brace Ill thus permitting the brace IE! to engage the notch I6 and'be firmly locked in place bymeans of the tongue on the clip I5. The braces I6 are V-shaped as shown in Figure 1 and the ends thereof are bent in a plane parallel to the blocks 2 to which the upper ends of the legs are hinged.
The free ends of the braces Ill are received in the bracket I2 secured to the frame I at 010- posite sides of the legs and a spring II mounted on the end of the braces tensions the braces to hold the legs in folded position. The legs are hinged by means of a screw eye I3 and a pintle pin I l in the upper end of the legs. The clamps for retaining the tops in position are adapted to lock the top firmly in the frame I when the legs are folded by entering the wedge slot I4 in th leg section I. The clamp 6 is wedged shape at 20 where it enters the slot I4 to conform to the shape thereof. The tops however can be removed when the table is in use since the clamp 6 will not engage the slots I4, when the legs are in upright position.
There has thus been provided a table having folding telescopic legs, spring tensioned braces for locking the legs toward the center of the table, pivotal clamps for holding removable tops on the table, the clamps coacting with the legs to lock the tops in position when the table is in folded position. The braces being V-shaped in cross section are adapted to rigidly hold the legs in extended position.
It is believed that the operation and construction of the device will be apparent to those skilled in the art and it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction, arrangement and combination of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. In a folding table having a top provided with four corners the improvement comprising, a telescopic adjustable foldable leg pivotally upper member and be received in the notch in N the lower member to retain the members in extended relation to each other.
2. An adjustable leg fora table comprising an upper tubular member and a lower tubular member in telescopic arrangement with each other, tongued clips carried by" the lower tubular member interiorly of the upper tubular member, said lower tubular member having downwardly curved notches therein rearwardly of the tongue on said tongued: clips and said upper tubular member having an opening therein adapted to be selectively alined with said notches, a spring tensioned V-shaped brace, means carried by said table for pivotally receiving the free ends of said brace so that the apex of said brace may enter said opening and be received in said clips to retain said members in extended relation to each other.
3. In a folding table having a permanent top provided with four angled ends and a marginal rim border on said top and removable tops receivable on the permanent top within the border the improvement comprising a sectional tubular leg pivoted to each angled end of said table and said leg having said sections in telescopic arrangement with each other, a pivoted spring tensioned V-shaped brace carried by the table and means on said leg fixed to said leg and having a tongue thereon co-acting with the apex of said brace to retain said sectional leg in extended adjusted relation of the sections to each other.

I'm back from a fascinating trip to Massachusetts, where I visited a hatchery on Duxbury Bay. It was only due to this trip that I thought about where oysters come from and realized I had no idea how they are born. Most oyster farmers buy oyster seed, which are oysters the size of pinheads but fully formed. I had to turn to Rowan Jacobsen's 2007 book A Geography of Oysters for an explanation. He is more elegant than I will be here, as my previous post, Considering the Oyster, shows. (Oh, and I urge oyster lovers to visit his fabulous new site, Oysterater, which describes every oyster available in the country and what people say about them.) The above are Island Creek Oysters and I ate them on this floating barge in the middle of the bay. The oyster on the left is Read On »

We're back again with another valuable technique, the water bath, essential for gentle cooking. The water bath uses the miracle tool, water. Water makes life as we know it possible. It's one of the only substances that expands when it freezes rather than contracts (if it didn't, ice would sink, not simply ruining your gin and tonic, but rendering the gin and tonic moot, as most of habitable earth would be flooded). Water cannot go above 212°F in normal circumstances (it can if you heat it under pressure or, with less pressure, specifically at high altitudes, it turns to gas at lower temperatures). And importantly, it cools as it evaporates (which is why sweating cools our body). In this video we use it to gently cook emulsified shrimp and cream, mixed with whole chunks of Read On »

Tom Doyle didn't know what to think about the first stories he heard of Muslims seeking Jesus after they had experienced either a dream or a vision of the Son of God calling them, reaching out to them. But in Doyle's 11 years of working in Muslim countries, he began believing the stories, particularly after this happened.
In the words of one of his friends, "God showed me that my theology does not determine His actions," Doyle and co-author Greg Webster write in "Dreams and Visions: Is Jesus Awakening the Muslim World?"

First of all, accept that YOU will not look normal when you do this at a regular gym! Be Okay with it. This is one of the best movements you can do for your entire body using simply a pair of dumbbells. You are working legs, core, arms, and back- basically everything in addition to getting your heart rate up! I guarantee you this movement will slim you down, get you stronger and leaner.
How should you do it?
Start with light weights and teach yourself the movement , then you can add them into your regular weight day at the gym! 20-25 pounds per hand is fairly challenging for me, so, if you're a rookie, I'd start with 8 or 10 pounds per hand for your first dumbbell squat clean workout.
If you're new to working out or are intimidated, please hunt around among friends of friends and plan a meet-up at the gym! It's more likely that you will show up and do some work if someone was working with you! Also, I have a 15 minute rule. If you can't for some reason bring yourself to working out, then talk yourself into 15 minutes!
15 minutes of a hard effort is a whole lot better than zero minutes on the coach!
Fit Mom is the owner of Fit Mom's Blog and is passionate about all things related to fitness, her family and food!

Au Miroir: Au Miroir
This was a restaurant where we stopped for a coffee break when the clouds turned into a heavy rain! Lots of places inside but also lovely outdoor seating outside looking at the central square. It was a peaceful Sunday morning, not much people around so service was quick anyway.
We ordered a coffee (2.80e) and a Dagsoep (soup of the day), it was an amazing soup with asparagus.
Au Miroir is open daily from 10.00am to midnight.
Their menu has lot of warm or cold plates but it was too early for us to try anything more than a soup.Related to:
- Food and Dining
Les Halles de Blieck: lovely omelettes
We ate at this restaurant on the evening before the VT meeting. It is on the Grote Markt and as it was a lovely warm sunny evening we were able to sit outside and people watch during our meal. The service was friendly and good.
Favorite Dish: We both chose an omelette, I had one with shrimp and Koos had one cheese. They were served with salad and chips. The omelettes were hot and tasty and moist. So often omelettes are cook right through and very dry bu these were just right. Of course the chips were fresh and crisp and he salad was fresh. We really enjoyec our meal.Related to:

Doner Kebab Istanbul: Delicious kebabs
Just a short walk from the market square, we found a place serving up yummy Turkish/middle eastern food. It's a casual place where you can either get take out or sit at one of the tables in back.
Favorite Dish: We ordered chicken kebabs, stuffed with juicy flavorful chicken, cabbage, lettuce, tomato, onion and your choice of sauce artfully placed on freshly baked bread. We asked for traditional cucumber sauce and the owner lamented that Belgians just didn't care for cucumber sauce but that frequently he made that for himself. he offered to whip up a batch but we declined, opting instead for a garlic sauce for me and a chili sauce for David. The kebab was delicious and I couldn't finish my small kebab.
One small kebab, one large kebab and 2 cans of soda was 13E.
ter Posterie: Have a beer
A very nice garden to have a beer, or two.
The weather wasn't that good when we were here, so almost everybody was inside in the cellar, where you can have the same delicious beers ofcourse. There is a choice of 170 beers here.
Vivaldi: Great food at the Grote Markt
Restaurant & Tearoom Vivaldi is located at the Grote Markt, in the heart of Ieper. We had a table outside and could enjoy the fair that was held on the Marketsquare. But Vivaldi is not too close to the noisy attractions that were there for 10 days in august.
Inside the restaurant is very modern styled, see their website for an impression.
The food was very good. The soup of the day (in this case spinach) was very tasty, a strong stock was used to make it. Tom tried the scampi with garlic, which was excellent and had so much garlic that i dipped a piece of bried in the oil to have some garlic too.......
For main course it was mixed grill (which was really enough meat) with a huge bag of the famous belgian fries. And a 'vispannetje', a dish made of tasty fish in a cheessauce. There was salmon, scampi, sole and pollack in there.
Great food and served with care, a defenite woult eat here again.
Ariane: Ariane
The chefs of hotel-restaurant Ariane really do a wonderful job. Fresh ingredients, local products, ... delicious food.
You can eat either at the small and cozy restaurant or on the terrace overlooking the garden and the pond.
Favorite Dish: Husband:
starter: cold smoked duck breast under aroma's of truffle and old balsamico, finished with a gooze liver mousse
main: marinated porc fillet with sundried tomatoes and mozarella in a Trappist beer sauce and Italian pasta
dessert: home made chocolate mousse "black & white" accompanied by a ginger snap and an orange sensation
starter: tower of grey North Sea shrimps, tomato and egg-mimosa on a bed of herb cream
main: A stew of fresh North Sea fish in a creamy sauce with crispy vegetable strips and parsley potatoes
Collection of fine restaurants: Good Bourgondian dinner in cosy environment
In het kleine Stadhuis - Grote Markt 28: a cosy, somewhat busy, cafe-restaurant that serves wonderful, yet simple dishes in a almost medieval atmosphere.
Den Anker - Grote Markt 30: this is the place to be to eat clams (mosselen) or any other seafood dish.
't Leetvermaak - Korte Meerstraat 2: dining in a very imposing scenery. Marijke and Stef know how to treat their guests on typical Belgian menu's, as well as some exotic food.
De Waterpoort - Brugseweg 43: outside the centre but well known with many Ieperlingen. Grilled plates are the best.
Ter Posterie - Rijselsestraat 57: here one combines drinking with deliscious food. All Belgian beers from this region are available!
ter Posterije: Belgian beer
Belgian beer - 170 different ones...This must be one of the best real Belgian pubs in town. The interior looks more German than Belgian but the is nevertheless cosy and they know their beers. There is also a beer garden.Related to:
- Beer Tasting
various: You don't come for the food
Ieper's restaurants was nothing to write home about despite being impressed with nearby Brugge and other great Belgian food. It is as if here, they haven't bothered as they know people will come anyway. There WERE good restaurants alright but then you had to pay more than I'm used to paying in Belgium so that just a simple pasta set you back more than ten euro. This made it difficult for vegetarians and as such I can only recommend a place almost next to the Cloth Hall in Grote Markt where they had the usual cheese croquettes and a fresh salad. There are also plenty of "Tea Rooms" for British veterans and others.Related to:

Het klein Stadhuis: Nice place to stay

MISTAKES: Tomas Mejias has made errors against both Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday
Scott Wilson / / Sport
Karanka went out of his way to support Tomas Mejias at the weekend after the former Real Madrid reserve followed up his costly error against Leeds United with an even more calamitous howler against Sheffield Wednesday.
Despite Mejias looking nervous and hesitant whenever a ball was delivered into the area, Karanka insisted the 25-year-old was "big enough and strong enough" to succeed in the Championship.
Loading article content
Perhaps he is, but having been sidelined for most of last season's loan spell because of injury, it is undeniable that the Spaniard is taking time to acclimatise to life in English football's second tier.
The fans have spotted his troubles – hence the sarcastic cheers every time his Capital One Cup replacement, Dimi Konstantopoulos, caught the ball against Preston on Tuesday night – so you can bet Boro's opponents have identified a potential weakness too. Expect Reading to put plenty of physical pressure on Mejias whenever they have a set-piece at the weekend.
If there was a lack of alternatives, you could understand Karanka's desire to protect Mejias and continue to display complete faith in his compatriot.
But in Konstantopoulos, Boro possess a more than able deputy, as evidenced by the Greek shot-stopper's performances in the second half of last season.
Promoted stories
Barring one error when he failed to deal with a back-pass, Konstantopoulos was a reliable presence after Shay Given's loan spell expired last term, and the former Hartlepool man can count himself unlucky to have been demoted to the position of number two in the summer. Having watched Mejias' performances so far this season, he will have even more cause for complaint if, as expected, he is back on the bench on Saturday.
Then of course there is Jason Steele, the former England Under-21 international who was rated the brightest goalkeeping prospect in the Football League a couple of seasons ago, but who now finds himself frozen out of the first-team picture entirely and not even making the bench.
The presence of Konstantopoulos and Steele means Karanka has options, and while there is plenty to be said for sticking by a player when he is going through a tough time, the Boro boss cannot allow stubbornness or a misguided sense of loyalty to prevent him from changing direction if necessary.
The season is still in its infancy, and Mejias could yet come good. Boro cannot afford to wait forever though, and if things do not improve in the next couple of matches, Karanka has to be brave and ruthless enough to admit one of his key summer signings could perhaps do with a spell out of the firing line.

Middlesbrough boss cannot allow stubbornness or loyalty to dictate his goalkeeping decisions
Scott - we don't have three talented keepers, we don't even have one. If we use Given as the yardstick, a third choice in a mediocre Premiership side, what does it say about the quality of our trio.
It says we have a long way to go, to be a force to be reckoned with if these are the best we have got.
They say a good keeper will gain you 10 points in a season, ours have already cost us a possible 6.

Well said Scott, I like Steele and I think he gets a bad press. I'd love to know what he's done wrong to deserve the treatment he's getting. If he's as poor as some people say then why was he a fixture in the England set up for so long? I'd like to think that they have some idea of what they're doing.
I don't normally agree with club owners getting involved with picking the team but on this occasion I think Gibbo needs to have a word.

Looking for me?
I always figured describing myself would be simply, until I actually had to type it out. Well here it goes, my name is Ronnie and I recently moved to Cleveland. I was born and raised in Ocean City, NJ where I attended Rowan University for my bachelor's. I later moved to Florida to take care of mother and obtained my Master's from Florida Gulf Coast University. I played basketball during both high school and college, so I really enjoy playing it and watching the NBA. I really like football and soccer as well. I'm pretty into fitness and workout hard to stay in good shape. I think of myself as caring, intelligent, and laid-back, but can also be a bit shy at times. I hope this gave some kind of insight into me, but if you would like to know more, I'd love to hear from you!

I enjoy all kinds of music, but really like music that has up-tempo beets. I love funny televisions; Family Guy and Archer are my two favorites programs on television by far. As for food, italian food is the greatest.
The small amount of free time I get is typically spent doing crossfit or just simply relaxing. My work schedule is pretty rough, so when I do get free time I like to just enjoy it and relax! I do love going to the movies and am sort of a movie nerd.

I actually did not stay there myself, I just made a booking for a guest participating in an event I organised in Rio, but I think my guest was perfectly happy with the place.
Beautiful family, warm and inviting. We were lucky to find this b&b and experience a true Brazilian family home. This place is modest but very clean, beautifully located and lovely, intelligent and interesting hosts. It feels more like a home than a b&b. Would definitely stay again!
About the Host, Quintal De Santa
Quintal de Santa bed and breakfast is a house located in Santa Teresa in a very cosy atmosphere. Surrounded by a green area, a delicated garden in front of the Christ Statue our guest can relax and at the same time have a fun with the little monkeys that are often on the trees.
Santa Teresa is a downtown neighborhood also known by Montmartre with many restaurants options close to Lapa, Maracanã Stadium and for that reason there are good transportation options to anywhere in Rio.

The Dad Factor
By editor
WFAE's Public Conversations series hosted "The Dad Factor." It addressed the role of fathers in family and community life. And explored problems and challenges that can occur in homes and communities when dads are missing from the family structure. The Public Conversation also highlighted programs and services in the Charlotte area that are designed to strengthen the influence of fathers and provide mentoring for children whose fathers are absent from the home.
