Picture Book & Live Review: Bobby Long @ Eddie's Attic
All photos courtesy of Martin Borders
British singer and songwriter, Bobby Long, has cultivated quite a following since his humble beginnings across the pond where he used to perform at open mic nights with friends at a local pub. He has crafted his skill with performance after performance, and while he was just getting his feet wet when he started performing at local bars and venues, yet world renowned, like 3rd and Lindsley, Stubb's BBQ, and our very own Eddie's Attic, his performance and vocals continue to get stronger, and his stage presence is magnetic. Honestly, his performances are better with each time he performs. It's as if the stage calls his name, and he yearns to be on it. They agree with each other, and the audience can sense that too, because the artist is more at ease with their performance and invokes the audience to participate when they're in their element, and Bobby's definitely one who is.
Kicking off Friday evening's set at the world renowned Eddie's Attic is a fellow acoustic singer-songwriter Michael Bernard Fitzgerald, who is on his second tour with Bobby. He's a good character at getting the already lively crowd warmed up with warm and funny jokes about his recent only-when-touring addiction reality television show, "Gold Rush," and attempted to whistle during one of his songs, but was distracted by our laughing, so he had to forego his whistling, and instead opted for his "new" song about his newfound love for "Gold Rush"! He played a few favorites, with a great cover of Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark." Fitzgerald has a keen talent for singing and playing the guitar, and his songs are subtle and whimsical, along with inviting. He's got an acoustic reggae vibe with a lot of soul.
Bobby came out shortly after Michael's set and the already energetic crowd sang along as soon as Bobby belted out his first song. He played a few new singles, that haven't yet been released, and he always plays old favorites from his earlier beginnings, such as "Who Have You Been Loving," (my personal favorite, besides his deeply melancholic "Two-Tone Lover"), "Dead and Done," "The Bounty of Mary Jane," and more. With the playing of his past favorites, he takes requests from the audience, which I think is a great way to connect with your fans and the artist, and Bobby invites his audience to sing-along quite a bit too. Bobby played almost a two-hour set, and displayed musical vulnerability at its finest. He closed with a rare classic and cover of a positive Louis Armstrong single. While Bobby adds his own style to each song he delivers, with great inflection, he's best when he performs his bluesy music. His massive guitar skills come out of the woodwork, and give him the incredible opportunity to display his impressive chops. Bobby and Michael are an act not to miss if they're playing in your area on this time around!

I�m in Catania Sicily and am having an unreal time. I arrived here the other day after a ferry ride from Malta and haven�t really stopped since. I have just got back from a day trip to Mt Etna the most active volcano in Europe and am still blown away by the size and sheer power of it. I sat at 2000 metres above sea level and this is a little of what i wrote in my journal;
``I�m sitting at 2000 metres above sea level dressed like Indiana Jones and watching steam pour out of the mouth of Mt Etna. A short while ago i was at 2500 metres above and standing right beside craters that had been active as recently as July 15th. The main mouth at 3300 metres is currently off limits as it could erupt at anytime. Other tourists in all their wisdom ignore the warnings and continue to climb the mountain with the goal of making it to the top
I�m going to try and make my way to Rome tonight on an overnight train we�ll see how i go!
Keep Smashing it up!

Along the way, we learned a ton about the foliage on the island, Eje's specialty, stopped at an iron-age grave, got to see a rune stone used in the late Viking and Christian era to mark a special event or memorialize a person. Everywhere we walked, tiny little wildflowers blanketed our path with a kaleidoscope of vivid colors and shapes.
After tromping around Kalmar Castle, strategically set on the shores of the Baltic back on the mainland, we headed north to Finsp�ng. A very long but experience-packed day ended with the best salmon dinner of the trip in Finsp�ng with our local walking friends �ke and Lillemor, then an after-dinner 5 km walk through delightful Finsp�ng. Needless to say, even though the day was long, it was still light when we finished about 9:45 pm!

Following Jesus, the Servant King: A Biblical Theology of Covenantal… (original 2010; edition 2010)
by Jonathan Lunde
Work details
Following Jesus, the Servant King: A Biblical Theology of Covenantal Discipleship (Biblical Theology for Life) by Jonathan Lunde (2010)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Zondervan gave me a copy of Following Jesus, the Servant King: A Biblical Theology of Covenantal Discipleship by Jonathan Lunde to review. Apart from that I am under no obligation as to the content of the review.
The first thing to be aware of about this book is that it is not in the genre of "how-to books." Even though about 1/3 of the book is devoted to answering the "how" question…the answer is anything but a traditional "how-to" explanation.
There certainly are an adequate amount of "how-to" discipleship books on the market…for instance, Bill Hull's The Complete Book of Discipleship or Greg Ogden's Transforming Discipleship, however neither of those delves as deeply into the Biblical (particularly the Old Testament) roots of discipleship as Lunde's book does.
The first chapter provides an overview of what lies ahead and, in general, what lies ahead are Lunde's answers to three significant questions:
the "Why" Question: Why should I be concerned to obey all of Jesus' commands if I have been saved by grace?
the "What" Question: What is it that Jesus demands of his disciples?
the "How" Question: How can the disciple obey Jesus' high demand, while experiencing his "yoke" as "light" and "easy"?
The answer to the "Why" Question turns out to be a survey of the covenants, their "gracious contexts", and their "demands." By walking through the covenants (Noahic, Abrahamic (2), Mosaic, Davidic, and the New Covenant) Lunde shows a recurring pattern of grace and righteous demands, even for the "grant type" of covenant. For the reader who has never before done a study of the covenants, this section will both unlock new understandings as well lead to a thirst for more information concerning the covenants and their relationships.
Some readers may have minor quibbles in this section (i.e.. Are there really two Abrahamic covenants? Is the Davidic covenant conditional or a grant? etc.) Nevertheless, very few will disagree with Lunde's broad conclusions in this section. And in the end, the reader should have a better understanding of how grace and demands can mix without resulting into legalism.
The second section of the book looks at the "what" question. In this section Lunde provides a survey (not a comprehensive one) of Jesus commands and shows how Jesus reinterprets God's laws for us. Some of the laws are abandoned (food laws), some are intensified (think in terms of the Sermon on the Mount), in the end, this section will probably hold few surprises, but nevertheless provides a Christocentric basis for how the believer relates to God's law. One thing that pleased me in this section was to see the Great Commission being interpreted in light of Matthew 10 (and thus emphasizing the mission of the Church includes both proclamation as well as demonstration).
I expected the third section to move from theological foundations to a more applied model (in keeping with the "how" question.) However, that really doesn't occur in this book until the final chapter, rather this section focus on two key points…the implications of an inaugurated kingdom and the implications for Jesus' roles as representative, redeemer, and restorer for our discipleship. As to the latter, Lunde spends a great deal of time looking at Jesus' roles and the importance for us in remembering them and receiving grace from them for our daily walk as disciples. None of this struck me as particularly controversial.
However, not everyone will agree with Lunde's understanding of the inaugurated kingdom. In brief, Lunde applies the "now/not yet" schema that has come to be widely accepted as far as eschatology is concerned…to soteriology. That is to say, the promises of the New Covenant have yet to reach ultimate fulfillment, consequently there remains a struggle with sin in our daily lives. Now few will argue with that on the basis of experience, however, Paul's writings seem to argue that things really have fundamentally changed…"we are no longer to be slaves to sin." I , myself, am torn on this issue…I can see where Lunde is coming from and yet, I don't find in Paul's writings what I would expect to find (Romans 7 being the exception that proves the rule) if we have not had a complete transformation. Certainly I am not arguing that there isn't more that will yet be done (i.e.. glorification), but I wonder what hope there is for discipleship if it can only be partial hope. In the end, Lunde's book encourages me to explore even more the Biblical foundations of discipleship. And that is certainly not a bad result for a book about discipleship.

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0310286166, Paperback)Throughout the Old Testament and into the New, God not only demands righteousness from his people but also showers on grace that enables them to act. Jesus, of course, provides the ultimate fulfillment of these twin aspects of God's relationship to humanity. In biblical terms, Jesus is the King who demands righteous obedience from his followers, and Jesus is the Servant who provides the grace that enables this obedience. So what does it mean to follow Jesus? What does God expect from his followers, and how can they be and do what is required? Jonathan Lunde answers these and other questions in his sweeping biblical study on discipleship. He surveys God's interaction with his people from Eden to Jesus, paying special attention to the biblical covenants that illuminate the character and plans of God. He offers Bible students and teachers---such as pastors, missionaries, and lay leaders---the gift of practical biblical teaching rooted in the Bible's witness on the vital topic of discipleship.

Hewlett-Packard (HP), the world's largest computer manufacturer, may soon take a serious step in its shift from PC production to software expansion, as it is reported to be in talks to acquire Autonomy Corp., U.K.'s second-largest software maker, for $10 billion. The news comes hours before HP's quarterly earnings call, scheduled for this afternoon.
With consumers shifting to smartphones and tablets, personal computer sales have remarkably gone down. To address the dwindling PC economy, Chief Executive Officer Leo Apotheker has said that they will be expanding their software and services through the cloud, appealing to the enterprise and consumer markets.
HP's shares spiked when news of the acquisition came to light but fell 53 cents to $30.86 at 12:34 p.m. on the New York Stock Exchange.
The next question is, if HP is planning to buy a software company, what will happen to webOS? Will it be integrated to Autonomy's software or vice versa? Is the Autonomy acquisition part of HP's plan to expand their OS not only in computers, smartphones and tablets but also in home appliances and automobiles? Will this acquisition result in HP completely turning its back on the PC market? These are all questions that may be answered this afternoon and in coming weeks.

Area artists can now apply to buy a live/work studio at the former Sacred Heart School in Portland. Peter Bass, the owner of Random Orbit, Inc. and the developer of the property at the corner of Sherman and Mellen Streets is now accepting applications for studio condominiums there. The deadline is August 15.
Bass began renovating the old school on June 1 and is scheduled to wrap up the work on September 1. The school will be renamed Parkside Studios; it will contain eight live work spaces - studios with work space in the basement - together totaling around 1000 square feet each. Working artists with income at or below 80 percent of the median for Portland are eligible to apply (in March, Bass said the units will probably cost around $135,000). Applicants must also prove they are working visual artists through a series of criteria.
For more on the Parkside Studios and how to apply to buy a space there, check out www.randomorbitinc.com. Click on "New Projects."

The problem I have is that some times when I come to an intersection and brake heavily the vehicle seems to brake fine then all of a sudden the brakes seem to let go and it takes a lot of presure on the brake pedal to pull up. The next stop it seems fine. The other problem I have is also intermittent, at times when I first take off after resting the vehicle the first couple of low speed stops the rear brakes lock up. Not having any experience with hydroboost or ABS I am hoping that someone out there may have had the same experience

Exclusive: Apple prepares Healthkit rollout amid tangled regulatory web
By Christina Farr
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Inc has been discussing how its "HealthKit" service will work with health providers at Mount Sinai, the Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins as well as with Allscripts, a competitor to electronic health records provider Epic Systems, people familiar with the discussions said.
While the talks may not amount to anything concrete, they underscore how Apple is intent on making health data, such as blood pressure, pulse and weight, available for consumers and health providers to view in one place.
Currently, this data is being collected by thousands of third-party health care software applications and medical devices, but it isn't centrally stored. Apple also hopes physicians will use this data to better monitor patients between visits – with the patient's consent — so the doctors can make better diagnostic and treatment decisions.
Apple has not divulged much specific detail on HealthKit, which is expected to be incorporated into the iPhone 6 come September. But Apple intends HealthKit to become a lynchpin in a broader push into mobile healthcare -- a fertile field that rivals Google and Samsung are also exploring.
The iPhone maker has previously disclosed partnerships with Nike Inc, Epic, and the prestigious Minnesota-based Mayo Clinic, which boasts a suite of mobile apps. Mayo is reportedly testing a service to flag patients when results from apps and devices are abnormal, with follow-up information and treatment recommendations.
Dozens of major health systems that use Epic's software will soon be able to integrate health and fitness data from HealthKit into Epic's personal health record, called MyChart, according to a person briefed by Apple. Kaiser Permanente is currently piloting a number of mobile apps that leverage HealthKit, two people have said, and is expected to reach out to Apple to discuss a more formal partnership.
"Apple is going into this space with a data play," said Forrester Research's health care analyst Skip Snow. "They want to be a hub of health data."
But some implementations with HealthKit may be a challenge due to a web of privacy and regulatory requirements and many decades-old IT systems, said Morgan Reed, executive director of ACT, a Washington-based organization that represents mobile app developers. Continued...

Fosamax Linked to Atrial Fibrillation
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
The list of damage found in the path of a Fosamax tornado continues to grow. A new report in the Archives of Internal Medicine1 offers conclusive proof that users of Fosamax are at an 86% increased risk for developing heart-related damage in the form of atrial fibrillation. This will result in women then being placed on Coumadin to protect against a stroke from the atrial fibrillation. Coumadin causes osteoporosis and calcification of arteries with ongoing use. Thus, the Fosamax-Coumadin one-two punch will be adequate to deteriorate both bone and heart health in a variety of ways.
Back in January of 2008 the FDA was reviewing the atrial fibrillation link to the once-a-year dose of this class of medication – but was "confused" and couldn't understand what to do. Now the FDA has clear evidence that the commonly used Fosamax carries the same risk. I fully reported on all the details of this breaking public health emergency in my article Delusion of Bone Drugs.
This new study is more than alarming and the FDA should take immediate action to stop the widespread use of Fosamax. It goes along with another recent study showing that women who have been on Fosamax for a number of years have such poor bone health that their bones break doing almost nothing. The widespread use of Fosamax as a preventive medicine is gross medical malpractice. The sad part is that any doctor who actually read how Fosamax works could not possibly think Fosamax promotes healthy bones. Woman should be outraged by this medical atrocity. Big Pharma, the FDA, and prescribing physicians share equally as the cause of this public health catastrophe.

Indonesia: Religious violence erupts in Moluccas
Rioting has broken out in Indonesia's Moluccas islands following the reported killing of three women in the religiously-divided region.
Mobs took to the streets in a predominantly-Muslim quarter of the regional capital, Ambon, and torched a van carrying Christians - one person was burnt to death, police said. The rioting was apparently triggered by news that three Muslim women had been shot dead on a beach on the island of Sapura.

A farmer was helping one of his cows give birth when he noticed
his 4-year-old son standing wide-eyed at the fence, soaking in
the whole event.
The man thought, "Great... he's 4 and I'm gonna have to start
explaining the birds and bees. No need to jump the gun, I'll
just let him ask and I'll answer."
After everything was over, the man walked over to his son and
said: "Well, son, do you have any questions?"
"Just one," gasped the still wide-eyed boy:
"How fast was that calf going when he hit that cow?"
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. - Ayn Rand

So in my 13 for the past month or so I have had a rough idle/misfire like issue. The weird thing about it was that it didn't happen all the time. It stopped doing it for awhile until this past Saturday when the engine light came on for a P0300. I cleared the code since the dealer was closed and drove. I ran the tank down low thinking it may have been a bad mix of gas. I filled up yesterday and the car felt fine. Consisten WOT pulls and everything. Until today..I get out of class, start my car and it is idling crappy as hell. Then as I'm pulling out, the engine light comes on. I thought perfect. So I went to the Subie dealership and let them check it out for the second time for this issue.
Tech scanned it and the miss was jumping between all 4 cylinders!! Weird huh?
So he comes out and talks to me for a bit. He mentions that there is a ground wire that splits into 4 separate wires and there has been issues of the connection coming loose. I thought, well, an electrical issue would make sense since it doesn't do it all the time. He peeled back the wrapping and dropped some solder on the connection and what do you know...The miss is gone and it is smooth as hell.
Just wanted to share this with anyone who may have the same odd miss issue with their 08+ WRX or STi.

- Step-ups should be done at a continuous pace - when performing hand release, maintain
externally rotated shoulders and tight mid-section.
Week 11, Day 4
Run 5km @ 85% effort
Walk 10min
Run 5km @ 85% effort
- Your goal is the same tough but sustainable pace for each set. Focus on big belly breaths during walking.
Week 11, Day 5
35min swim @ Z1 pace
10min tread water
35min bike @ Z1 pace
35min jog @ Z1 pace
- a good rule of thumb for Z1 pace is to maintain a HR between 120-135bpm
Who is this program for?
- Military members preparing for a Special Forces selection phase
- Anybody who wants to train like a Special Forces Operator
How does this program work?
This will be a 9 month program designed to prepare military members for Special Forces selection. The term Special Forces is used broadly and does not necessarily mean U.S. Army Green Beret.
This program will not contain the exceptionally large volume of swimming or rucking that might be required for a SEAL or SAS selection phase, although both modalities will be included.
The program will be broken down into 3 phases, creating a logical and progressive plan that will have the tactical athlete peaking at the end. Each phase has a focus, but all pieces will be blended together appropriately throughout:
Phase 1: Structural Balance / Absolute Strength / Aerobic Base
Phase 2: Strength and Power Capacity / Volume Building / Skill Work / Aerobic Power
Phase 3: Muscular Endurance / Anaerobic Training / Toughness Training / Rucking / Swimming
Where can I find more information and ask questions?
I will post notes at the bottom of each workout that will go into more detail. I will also post links to videos whenever possible. I am constantly adding videos to my Vimeo and YouTube pages that break down various movements in great detail.
If you have more questions, you can head over to the Breaking Muscle Forum, and I will get back to you as soon as possible with an answer. For a detailed explanation of how to read the workouts, warm up properly, and get the most out of this training plan, check out the Special Forces Workouts FAQ.
Why should I use this program?
Whether you are looking to increase your chances of passing Special Forces selection, or you simply want to train at this level, this program follows an intelligent progression over nine months that incorporates injury-proofing, strength, stamina, toughness training, and event specific modalities such as swimming and rucksack marching. It is written based on my experience as an ex-Special Forces soldier turned coach.
When do the workouts post?
The workouts are released every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It is recommended that you begin the program from the beginning rather than jumping in part way through. This program is safest and most effective if you follow it in its entirety.
What equipment do I need?
Mondays and Thursdays will generally be strength specific days that you can perform at most gyms. Tuesdays and Fridays may require equipment typically found at a CrossFit-type gym. Saturdays will often include things such as boxing, swimming, biking, and running outside.
Record your results!
The only way to make this program better over time is if you give us your results. So comment in the forums with your age/weight/height/gender/results.

If this is the first time you're just joining us and want to know what this is all about, please click either the Easy Peasy Christmas Cards tab at the top (if you're viewing directly from the blog) or click here to take you to the Easy Peasy Christmas Cards Page.
I was exhausted coming home from work last night and really didn't feel like crafting. But it really is amazing how much you can do in cracks of time! Again, easy peasy cards aren't supposed to take you a lot of time and effort and I thought, well if I can do it…so can you! 🙂
I had been thinking of this technique and stamp(s) for quite a while. Now I strongly encourage you to use what you already have. I know that some of you have a bunch of Christmas scenic stamps and/or Thomas Kinkade stamps. And they are just gorgeous!! But for whatever reason they get forgotten in the bottom of a box. What are you waiting for? Well haul them out 🙂
I LOVE this stamp, it always gives me a warm feeling! (Now I don't know if Cornish Heritage Farms under the new ownership are carrying Thomas Kinkade stamps but it doesn't hurt to have a look!)
The card measures 5 1/2 x 4 1/4″
-First I stamped the image using Cobalt Ranger Archival Ink.
-I added a little colour by just using a regular yellow marker to add some colour to the moon and street lamp. I could have added more if I had liked. This step of colour would be optional because it looks absolutely stunning without.
-Cover the image with Be Creative Tape, I have a roll that's about 5″ wide so it works nicely.
-Pour Glitter Ritz, cool highlight microfine glitter overtop and then burnish (rub in the glitter with your fingers).
-Add peel off's sentiment then adhere to card
Easy Peasy! The card is absolutely stunning in person. It really is difficult to capture the iridescence of the glitter in a photo.
I just happened to take pictures along the way, if you'd like to see the glittering process please check out the tutorial here.
Enjoying the idea of Easy Peasy Christmas Cards? Be sure to subscribe (under "Don't miss an issue" on the top right) so you don't miss anything and it comes straight to your inbox! Please share it with your crafty friends too!
Thanks for visiting today and have a great weekend!

Mixing textures can be a difficult task. However, there is no need to fear because the mixing and matching of brands, colors and even textures is something that is becoming more and more accepted within the fashion world. With some practice and guidance, you can do it like a pro!
This Fashionista did a superb job mixing textures in her outfit. For starters, the silky black and white patterned overalls are very chic. Since it obviously could not be worn by itself, she did something very interesting and wore a lace tank top underneath. The white tank top brought out the white in the overalls. Even though the floral lace and the tribal pattern on the overalls did not coordinate seamlessly, they complemented each other well.
Topping off her killer outfit, she paired it with some black booties that gave her just the right amount of height to compensate for the length of the jumpsuit. She then kept it simple with some large black sunglasses that had just a hint of a purple tint toward the bottom of the lens that really accented the purple in her hair.
Overall, this Fashionista was giving off an adorable retro feel through her color scheme and use of mixing and matching patterns and textures. She kept it simple and completely rocked this look.
How To: Mixing and matching fabrics can be a bit tricky. The best way to make sure you're stylishly coordinating different items of clothing is to find some similarity in the two items you're trying to pair. For instance, this Fashionista used colors and used a white undershirt to match the white pattern in the overalls. Picking the right color scheme is a great way to make sure your outfit stays fashion-forward without getting too crazy.

Can I get one nailer stapler that will work for hive bodies and frames? If not what type of nailer do I need for the hive bodies and what type and size nailer - stapler would I need for the frames?

I will not celebrate if I score against Kotoko, declares new Olympics striker Eric Bekoe
New Great Olympics striker Eric Bekoe says he will not celebrate if he scores against his former club Asante Kotoko.
The 27-year-old has completed his two-year move to the Wonder club as a free agent after a reported return to Kotoko fell through.
Bekoe returned to the Ghanaian top flight two years ago where he had hoped to have signed for the cub where he made his name.
He eventually signed for then cash kings Berekum Chelsea.
Bekoe scored for the Blues in their famous 2-0 win over the Porcupine Warriors where he celebrated franticly much to the dismay of the Red fans.
The Ghana international now says he will not celebrate if he scores against the champions while playing for Olympics.
"Everyone knows my love for Kotoko so I don't need to say anything more about it,†he told Metro FM.
"I celebrated against them last time because of what I went through but that is all the past now.
"I can assure you that I will not celebrate if I score against Kotoko. This is a personal decision.â€
Bekoe hopes to hit the highs that once made him the most sought after striker on the local scene in 2008.
He is however coming back from a serious broken leg injury that threatened his career.

"Greensleeves" will still be heard on streets around Tauranga.
A recent review of Tauranga City Council's Mobile Shops Policy included a ban of mobile food shops trading in the suburbs, which meant no more ice-cream vans.
However, a full council meeting yesterday has altered the policy to allow them to continue operating.
Nicholas Wynne, who has been Mr Whippy in Tauranga for 27 years, said he is relieved common sense has prevailed.
"We will be back doing what we've done so well since 1964 in New Zealand," he said.

We issued the following statement today after Iranian authorities sentenced journalist and economist Bahman Ahmadi Amouee to seven years and four months' imprisonment and 34 lashes for anti-state activities. Amouee was detained on June 19, 2009, with his wife, Zhila Bani-Yaghoub, editor-in-chief of the Iranian Women's Club...
"The sentence handed down to Amouee is patently political in its nature," said Mohamed Abdel Dayem, CPJ's program coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa. "The government's repeated efforts to enforce censorship through excessive prison terms are not only unlawful, but also ineffectual. Tehran should immediately bring to an end its months-long assault on the press."

Port Vista is a nice restaurant right on the lake with wonderful views in the summertime, great outdoor deck. The food and service is good. We were a little bummed out when we found out they no longer offer their famous 32oz steak.
We loved this little out of the way place. We came here on our first trip to the dells. My hubby had the all you could eat fish, and I had a delicious steak. Hope to come back here again!!
This bar/grill has a great outside deck and view of the water. The overpriced hamburger was poor tasting and Very Overpriced.
Been here several time throughout the years, loved the big steak and the lake view
Was dissapointed ~ big steak is no longer on the menu. Recently, We were the only ones who were outside eating on a Tuesday night. This place used to be packed with customers, some eating some playing volleyball.
It was eerily quiet..........
As far as...
It was quite but everyone was polite and nice. It was dark so couldn't see a view. We shared the nachos and it was huge and delicious. Three people were behind the bar but apparently only one knew what to do. This could be an amazing place if everyone was on the same page. Prices were good and even better...
We were able to sit on the patio outside and watch part of the Tommy Bartlett show. Great location on the lake just to watch the boats. Food was good and service we good!
Four of us came here for lunch on a Monday. We sat outside with a beautiful view of the water. Our food was delicious. We were all adults, and ordered a few beers. They had a nice selection.
Not sure if they have a menu for kids - they might, we just didn't look for that.
We highly recommend the...
Stopped to share lunches before checking into Aloha Beach. Food was average. Service wasn't anything special. It was lunch time but not really busy. Seemed to be full of locals so maybe just not the right spot for tourists.
We recently moved to the area and some friends of ours who grow up in the dells take us to a new restaurant every Thursday night to get us familiar to our new area.
We tried this spot last Thursday and LOVED it! The server was spectacular, friendly, and knowledgeable of the menu.
The food was served fast and hot,...
My kids remember the giant steak from years ago. Having a bit of a family get together with now grown kids and grandkids in July. All we talked about was the 32 oz steak. And I discover NO STEAK!!!!! If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I a super bummed. Ugggg

Efoodmanager aims to build up strategic partners for roll-out
Efoodmanager has completed a E15m second funding round led by 3i, Gerling and Atlas Venture. According to CEO Joel Oberman, the funds are to 'continue to build on our technology' and to 'increase our commercial capabilities' with more marketing spend.
Oberman said the investors were chosen because 3i was a firm with 'investments throughout the food industry', and Gerling, a German insurance broker, would be a useful strategic investor.
Gerling can offer 'specific services to help people trading on our platform', said Oberman, such as insurance on goods traded over the system. He added that Efoodmanager was looking for three to four partnerships with 'people who can add value'. However, he said that it doesn't have to be an equity relationship and that technical deals could involve joint venturing.
Efoodmanager operates an open marketplace for the European food industry, as well as white-label technology for integration into legacy systems to create closed marketplaces. The software is based on Intershop Enfinity for external compatibility, and is then customised for the Efoodmanager standards.
By the end of December last year, 1,000 companies were registered on the open marketplace. Although the firm launched with the open offering, it has found most growth with its closed systems.
Oberman said this was 'driven by responding to customers', highlighting a closed marketplace deal with German retail chain Markant, which represents 18,000 outlets. He added that the firm is now 'close to closing a number of large deals' for the closed marketplace technology.
It was 'hard to tell' whether Efoodmanager would need further funding in the coming year, said Oberman, adding it was 'dependent on our sales line'. Alexander Bruehl, a principal at Atlas Venture, said the main attraction for them was a 'good team'.
He described the deal with Markant as an 'extension to the initial business model' and felt the management had adapted well to market conditions. He added that the closed marketplaces could transition customers to the open platform eventually for a wider range of goods.
Bruehl revealed that Atlas's stake was diluted in this round but it had encouraged strategic funds.

How Much Risk Are You Willing to Take?
Andrew Pyle | Posted 12.22.2011 | Canada Business
Read More: Principal Protected Note, Investing, Bonds, Etf, Capital Preservation, Index-Linked GIC, Risk Free, Gic, Risk, Ppn, Canada Business News
While Principal Protected Notes become more enticing when in we're engulfed in an environment of uncertainty, they are still not widely understood. The key flaw in these products is that they blur what is the most fundamental decision an investor must make -- whether or not to take risk and, if so, how much?
