Mote treats turtles with tumor-causing illness
Date: November 4, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Mote Marine Laboratory's Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Hospital staff members are treating four green sea turtles for papilloma tumors, growths on soft tissues that can disable or kill a turtle.
Mote is one of three Florida facilities that treats the tumor in turtles. Turtles with this illness are kept in a separate room from others at Mote to avoid spreading the disease.
"Because the virus that causes the tumors can be spread from animal to animal, they essentially have to be quarantined," said Lynne Byrd, Mote's medical care coordinator, in a prepared statement. "The state is short on hospitals that will accept pap turtles, and that's one of the reasons Mote has special facilities to take care of them — but even we're getting full."
To make room for Willis, a green turtle with multiple large tumors who was found tangled in fishing line Oct. 18, hospital staff put green pap turtles Ben and Dasher together in a single pool.
"They're great roommates," Byrd said. "Dasher was a really excitable turtle, but he seems calmer around Ben. They spend a lot of time close together."
Pap turtles are watched closely and released after the tumors are gone.

The first week of spring brought some beautiful weather, but not everyone is happy about it. Apple farmers say having warm weather this early can be bad for their crops. Our Elyse Mickalonis has more on the challenges ahead for the fall fruit.
BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. -- "I've always grown up with change. I see the seasons change before my eyes," said David Johnson, Apple Hill Farm.
But not all changes are good. Dave Johnson is worried, because this spring's unseasonably warm weather has pushed his apple crops to develop about a month early. And if we get hit with colder weather, frost could wreak havoc on his already green crops.
"We're at the whim on Mother Nature. When she's not normal things aren't being normal. As a farm I love normal things," said Johnson. "We're too warm, things are going too fast."
Because of the warm weather apple trees are at risk for catching a disease.
"Right now we're in the middle of pruning season, but it's gone," said Johnson. "You prune in dead cold winter time, but I have to stop, because diseases can get in."
If it stays warm, Johnson also worries bees will miss their chance to pollinate the plants.
"Plants are growing quickly, but the bee cycle doesn't change much with the temperature, maybe the bees will emerge after the blossoms are gone," said Johnson.
It's still too early to tell what this apple season will look like, but Johnson says no matter what happens he'll always love his job.
"There are tough times, no one makes me be a farmer, I don't want any sob stories, the challenges are there," said Johnson. "I'd rather have a challenge from Mother Nature."
Perhaps, in the end, Mother Nature will take it easy.

Canada has closed its embassy in Cairo, Egypt, for the rest of the day "as a security precaution, and to ensure the protection of Canadian staff," a Foreign Affairs spokeswoman confirmed Thursday morning.
"We are monitoring events closely and taking appropriate security measures," Amanda Reid said.
Anger over an anti-Islam film sparked a third day of violent protests and riots near the U.S. Embassy, which was also closed Thursday. The Canadian Embassy is located just half a kilometre away.
American diplomatic missions in the Middle East are on heightened alert after an attack on the embassy in Benghazi, Libya, on Tuesday left four dead, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
Do you think anger towards the anti-Islam film is justified?

Follow the crack below the roof onto the slab, follow the direction of the two (2) bolts to the obvious hand crack below the roof, follow up and over the top of the roof. Be careful in the crack above the roof there is some loose rock. Pop over the top and it is easy 5th class to the chains
This area is seldom visited as it is in direct sun early in the morning. Follow the dirt road all the way right around the corner of the main wall area. There is a walk off around the back that is fairly easy just be careful of the loose rock and sand.
2 bolts with an assortment of small cams and nuts up to 2".
An enjoyable climb with a cruxy start getting established on the slabby face above and another crux higher as you handjam the initial corner. Although short, this features some good positioning slightly higher on the exposed, finishing crack.
Out of curiosity, where is it pg13 for the pro? Does the hand crack not take good gear?
The PG13 rating comes from the unprotected and bouldery crux start which you can see in one of the beta photos. An easier and safer alternative is to start around the corner to the right and climb easy slab up and left to reach the first bolt. The upper crack section is well-protected and no harder than 5.7 or so.
Thanks, does the top crux go at 8+ or is that just the bottom? Edit: the new guidebook calls this climb a 10a... what's the fair grade?
decent route, start is a little spicey and probably deserving of the pg-13 rating. You can get a good stopper in from the ground but if you blow the moves onto the slab you are probably going to deck. That one move could be called 10a but the rest of the route is no harder than 5.8

Good game, fun finish and some signs of life
I wonder.
(And yes, Chris Bosh had a tough finish with missed free throws and bobbled balls and a couple of missed drives and jumpers and he could have been better. Let's talk about something else).
What else could they do?
Sometimes, you just don't get a break.
On that last possession, the Raptors did pretty much everything they could all over the floor.
Antoine Wright did an excellent job on Carmelo, first by forcing him out about a yard further than he wanted to, and then by getting right up in him and forcing a jumper that was off from the second it left Anthony's hand.
They got on the glass and boxed people out and it was a footrace to the loose ball over on the far side right by the sideline.
They didn't win it – mostly because almost all of 'em were inside their men on the glass – and when a play gets scrambled like that, no one knows what's going to happen.
Boom, one pass, one shot, one bucket, one buzzer, one loss.
A tough one, no doubt but, as is often the case in pro sports, when things are going bad, a team cannot catch a break.
Feeding the beast
Saw something in the third quarter last night I don't remember seeing too often and it was quite refreshing, actually.
About four times in succession, maybe five of six possessions or something like that (chicken scratch barely legible), the Raptors ran stuff in the post for Andrea.
Yes, he had the under-sized Joey Graham trying to guard him and it only made sense that the Raptors would try to exploit that mismatch. But so many times this year there've been similar situations – not just with Andrea but more often than not -- and they've tended to ignore them, it was good to see they went back to him repeatedly. Part of the problem in the past was that Bargnani would float out to the three-point line instead of getting inside and doing some hard work down low; last night he was fully engaged and animated and it had to be the best all-around game he's played in quite some time.
Maybe one change
I know the matchups weren't there because the Nuggets went small but I wonder if Andrea Bargnani shouldn't have been on the court for that final Nugget possession.
I think everyone in the world knew that the play was going to be an iso for Carmelo so it's not like Denver would have gone to the guy Andrea was guarding.
And the way Bargnani was rebounding, I think I would have liked him on the glass; and if Anthony hadn't settled for a jump shot, I think I would have liked the team's best shot-blocker trying to provide help.
Anyway, it wasn't the reason they lost – it's not like Andrea would have been quick enough to get to the loose ball as it squirted away – but he might have been able to do something on the initial miss to change the way the play unfolded.
A couple of little things before I head to the big bird for the longish flight.
(And I vow not to say: "Get up, bird" when we take off).
I really missed George Karl not being around last night.
He's one of the visiting coaches you always want to go listen to before the game because you'll usually get some good insight and a good quote.
A top five list? Sure.
I try never to miss pre-game, or at least shootaround chats with:
Doc Rivers.
Jerry Sloan
Stan Van Gundy
Larry Brown.
A Did You Know
Yes, we all know Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony are Olympic gold medalists but there was a third on the court last night.
Leon Wood.
Yes, the referee, who is probably a more accomplished player than a lot of guys he was blowing the whistle on.
Wood was on the 1984 Olympic gold medal team (he would have played against Jay Triano in Los Angeles) and was a former first round draft pick (10th overall, 1984) by the Sixers.
Ran into him, Joey Crawford and Tony Brown after the worked the Portland game in a little decompression session back the hotel and he's quite a good guy.
Soild ref, too.
And having played 274 NBA games, he will have had a lot longer career than a bunch of the guys on the court Friday night.
What'd they write about in Denver?
Glad you asked.
In keeping with a burgeoning tradition of telling stories about the city and team the Heroes Of The Hardcourt are facing next, here's a little Miami yarn.
(And it's a tradition that's burgeoning because, quite frankly, there's not much to say about THOTH every day right now. You like it?) Anyway, it's a Sam Mitchell story so it's pretty good and I'll un-X rate it if I must.
Not sure of the year but they're down there for a game and they're getting drilled pretty badly, as I recall.
There have been some suspect calls throughout the game, at least in the opinion of the aggrieved S. Mitchell and, finally, he snaps.
Gets him tossed out of the game and I guess he figures that if he's going to go, he's going out with a bang.
He walks about 15 feet on to the court and points directly at each of the three officials, who are spread out over the floor. He points at each of them and says:
"Bleep you.
"Bleep you.
"And bleep you."
Now, among the people courtside is a bigwig league official who was there on a playoff site survey checking out the arena and to this day, when I see that guy at an all-star game or finals, he tells he remains a it afraid of Our Man Sam.
Okay, since the plan tonight is for a leisurely evening around the lounge at the Miami airport Marriott (flight gets in late evening, I'm not a beach guy, room rates were through the roof, early flight Monday so why not just stay there), I'll have some time to do some mail.
So here's one last call for your submissions.
Make 'em good, please. No rants, nothing with "here's my long-winded diatribe and what I think. Your thoughts?" and I'm not doing Bosh sign-and-trade stuff.
Want good news? Chicago didn't win.
Didn't play, but still …

Apple didn't have to be at CES to own the place, as every other person in attendance seemed to discussing the so-called, and much-anticipated Apple "Tablet." Beyond that constant chatter and rumor mill there was also the ridiculous excitement surrounding the 3D Televisions. Eric Bee over at Denuo summed up whether there is a "need" for 3D TV quite nicely:
The state of modern technology can be summed up by the TV in my hotel room. It was a 50″ flatscreen LCD, mounted beautifully into a wooden console, but displaying a blocky, stretched standard definition signal. Despite the investment made into purchasing these top-tier TVs, the hotel wasn't using them to their full, high-definition potential. At CES, one could walk through miles of glistening technology, showcasing 3D images, immersive soundscapes, and internet-enabled everything, but to what purpose? Are consumers so over HDTV that they need a third-dimension? Is the world ready for an internet-enabled alarm clock? If the SD broadcast of ESPN greeting me every morning was any indication, the answer might be no.
Obviously we'll see soon enough how the "Tablet" and 3D TVs pan out. Meanwhile, the Green Energy, Smart Power Meter and portable electrons folks had a large spread of products and gadgets in the North Hall at the convention center. Twice has an article on a CES eco tour provided by some of those green companies.
Ampergen, a medium-sized player in the renewables and recharging portable battery business, had a large and varied spread of products, and it seemed each and every booth had many solar-powered devices and portable battery chargers. The companies that created the most buzz were the Energy Management or Smart Meter product companies such as the Best In Show finalist, Control4 and its Energy Management System 100.
The Smart Grid and Smart Meter trend is, pardon the pun, beginning to buzz like a 'fridge… It's no surprise that here in the Northwest, in the environmentally-friendly city of Portland, business people are beginning to huddle in local corporate offices to discuss this green trend and its implications for changing people's behavior when it comes to energy use. Portland's Mayor Sam Adams is heading to Washington, DC to push an energy-efficiency program that is intended to save energy while creating jobs. The Portland Tribune reports that "Clean Energy Works Portland is in a 500-home pilot phase. It was started last year with $1.1 million in federal stimulus funds. Participating partners include PGE, Pacific Power, Northwest Natural and the Energy Trust."
The big guys are getting involved too. The Google PowerMeter is a project of Google.org, Google's philanthropic arm. Microsoft has its Hohm Energy Management Tool and now CNet reports that Apple is jumping into energy tracking with a couple of new patents.
As all these players start bringing the products and software applications to market it's worth asking, what are the implications, and what does a large energy utility look like in the future, as people begin to have more direct control over their energy use?

>>> I am currently looking at rerofing part of our school. We have rubber now that is 15 years old and is failing. Who out there has Duro last roofs? (PVC) It looks like some good stuff. Will it last?
Using Acrylic Roofing from Conservation Technology you can clean the existing EPDM & cover with their system. See the following link: http://conservationtechnology.com/waterproofing_acrylic.html. Leaving the EPDM in place reduces cost if the existing roof structure is stable.
Cleaning the EPDM removes the loose carbon coating and provides a stable surface for the acrylic to adhere. Available in various colors including white for a cool roof. Water based system that local staff can install to reduce cost or by any general contractor. Every 5-10 years apply one new top coat to system to extend the life indefinitely.
We've used Durolast for 20+ years in northern IN. Like all roofing it's dependant on a good installer. We've had good support locally and from the factory. We get an average of 18 + years life out of the product, warrenty for 15. -
Have you considered using a ceramic coating over the existing rubber roof? We have had good success with cleaning, over coating with a liquid rubber base and then a ceramic coating. It has extended the life of the existing roof substantialy and given us good energy performance on the roof and for the facility.
PVC has a proven track record of long term performance. "Failing " EPDM can be restored or roofed over if the EPDM is first roof in place.
IF the existing roof membrane can be restored and the existing failed areas removed and replaced, then many quality fluid applied roofing systems can create a leakprrof, sustainable, energy saving roofing solution. Maintenance can be a simple as annual roof walks and proactive non roofing related issues ( HVAC condenstae line damage, debris being a school as it is amazing what gets up on school roofs! ). Repairs are easy with water based acrylics and other fluid applied systems. Renewable versu "term" warranty programs from fluid applied systems allows a building owner the ability to renew at the end of each term to maintain a predictable, low cost maintenance program for the life of the facility.
Joe Sorrentino
According to me Duro-Last fails. recently i read reviews about it a client paid the high price to get a Duro-Last roof near about 6 years ago. he wanted to have the best roofing for his houseI even paid extra to get the thicker "commercial" quality material. but it could not proved to be the best.
We Are Contractors Re-Roofing San Jose !
Reading the recommendation really sparks a positive feeling for the team of your organization!! After all , we always look for the patient contractors, fair prices and time utilization with good wages segment and your products also seem diversified in their representation!!
Typically the warranties on PVC roofs and EPDM roofs are in the range of 10 years. They are preferred by some companies on very large roofs because of the ease and speed of installation as they come in very large sheets, are easily seamed together at the laps, and simply ballasted down to hold in place. Punctures in these membranes are exceedingly difficult to locate. There is a thicker, walk-able, furniture and foot-friendly version of the PVC membranes available, which is ideal for smaller applications like decks, docks, boat tops, etc.

11/11/11: Don't Mess with Mr. In-Between
Posted: 11/08/2011 Filed under: Success | Tags: 11/11/11, attitude, current events, doomsday, failure, life, Motivation, motivation, News, positive psychology, positivity, Positivity, prophecy, success 1 Comment »So 11/11/11 is coming up! What will it mean for you? There are several doomsday prophecies that tie this date to the supposed 12/21/12 end of the world/awakening. There's also plenty of scientific information to debunk the prophecies. So, will 11/11/11 be a good day, or a bad day? Guess what? It's going to be what you make of it.
Recently, a friend asked whether we should categorize the things that happen to us as "good" or "bad," or if, taking a more Zen viewpoint, we should just say that things "are," and move on. My feeling is that things are going to happen, and how we perceive a given situation is a matter of personal choice. Here is how I answered my friend: Whether something is "good" or "bad" is relative – and it's important to remain focused on the positive. Every bad thing that happens can be a learning experience; if it's something that causes grief or anger, it's important to recognize those feelings and deal with them – not gloss over them with a "positive" paintbrush – but eventually, after the healing is done, if you have let yourself grow from that experience then it can be very good. It's a matter of making a conscious decision, a choice, to always be learning and always be looking for the positive.
As Johnny Mercer said, even Jonah, trapped in the dark belly of the whale, knew: you gotta "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate" the positive, eliminate the negative, and don't mess with Mr. In-Between.
The fact is, as pointed out in Everett T. Suter's book, Succeed In Spite of Yourself, when we have a positive outlook on life, we "raise our sights to higher levels. We look beyond the lower need-levels" and are able to concentrate on achieving goals and building our future. Assuming, of course, that we have a future – let's hope humanity doesn't get wiped out anytime soon.
As for the doomsday prophets, they can take comfort in the wisdom of Keats: "Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true."

Baonecci Ristorante
Online Reservations
I thought the reviews of the food here were a bit inflated - hate to say it but the food was just average. We had bruschetta and a mushroom pizza. I loved the relaxed Italian vibe and our waiter was a sweetheart!
I've been around the world including Italy and this pizza by far exceeded my expectations!
The place is fabu, and about everything we want in an Italian trattoria, including a warm and welcoming Italian family! Nothing slick, calculated, perfectly designed, and/or pseudo-Italian -- simply Mama's home cooking at its best. It's just like being there, but far cheaper than a trip to Italia... A definite recommend; go hungry.
Great burrata appetizer, awesome thin crust pizza!! I added some fresh basil to the pizza, which was some kind of ham/black olive/mushroom pizza. Everything was great.
Food was excellent but the thin crust pizza was outstanding (had pizza as appetizer for two couples).
The food was great, we were seated right away at our reservation time. They did forget our salad, but they gave us a free desert for the wait. Great vibe, the server was very nice. We would definitely go here again!
Wonderful home-inspired cooking. . very Italian; Red checkered table cloths add more home-inspiration. Owners are friendly and proud to bring the cooking style from their homeland in Lucca, Italy. Pizza, soup, lasagna were flavorful but light. The chili olive oil is a nice touch too for adding to everything served.
After hearing great things about this place, I had to check it out! We made a reservation for a party of 4 at 7:30 on a Friday night and we were seated as soon as we walked in. It's a small place, but it was packed. We had the caprese salad, the pesto pasta, and a couple of pizzas. Everything was amazing, but the pizza was off the charts delicious! It's cracker thin crust, so you probably need a couple of them at least for parties of 2 or more. Try the Truffle Salume pizza, you will not regret it!
Stefania cooks with love, like all Italian moms do! Best Pizza in town, especially the Monte Bianco. Fagioli a l'uceletto is a must , Italian butter beans in a little and light tomatoe sauce, the sauce is so delicious you won't leave a drop on the dish. Not a dessert fan but the dessert pizza with Nutella and fresh fruit is sooooo good! This is a famuly,run business and it truly feels like home and takes you back to Italy.
We really enjoyed our food at this little spot. Great thin crust pizza and generous salads.
The best Italian experience and food in North Beach. Spent 2 hours enjoying a wonderful relaxed lunch in this quaint unassuming cafe. The Italian mother rocks.... Italy's loss, San Francisco's gain!
We picked this after ready some reviews on Yelp. Yelp reviews were pretty much dead on.There must be a 100 Italian restaurants in North beach and we were looking for something off the beaten path. It is up a block from Columbus on Green st. We found parking on the street with little trouble, maybe a block and a half away on a fabulous 68 degree San Francisco night. Menu was limited, more drink pages then entree's but the food was good. Small place with 10-12 tables, good noise level but you could talk freely without yelling. Plenty of waiters and greeters. Overall a good experience but there are so many other places in the area to try.
The truffle pizza is great and other food excellent as well, although limited menu for entrees.
This was a wonderful dining experience.. beautifully prepared salad, fabulous pizza. We will be returning..
Owners are a family from Lucca, Italy and serve authentic, thin crust pizza just like you would get in Italy. Very relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, nice casual North Beach dinner.
Want to experience a typical family run Italian restaurant without going to Italy.? Try this restaurant. friendly service and good food. Pizzas are great and the eggplant parmesan was excellent. Split a cannelloni for dessert and your meal will be complete.
Excellent, true, real Italian food with fresh ingredients that speak for themselves. Family run. Honest. Feels and tastes like Italy. Best pizza in America so far for me! The family is all there to the care of you. They are not working for tips- they are making sure you enjoy a meal at their table - and it shows. There's a sense of true hospitality. Real food, real people, really good pizza! Did I mention the pizza?
We've had an amazing time at Baonecci - the food, the atmosphere... a real taste of Europe that you cannot easily find in the States. Being European, we really appreciated every single detail about the restaurant. The owners will treat you as their most welcome guests. All in all, next time we're in SF, we'll be definitely going there again.
Italien food authentic at its best!!!! small place, very cosy and super delicious food. my wife and I enjoyed the evening very much - try the "Spritz" as an Apero. enjoy and judge yourself!
I lived and studied in Rome for 4 years. It's hard to find a pizza that even resembles what you find there. This little family restaurant brought me right back. Excellent authentic dining experience.
I truly love coming to this adorable and family-run Italian restaurant in North Beach. Unlike many of its neighbors, the cooking is done by an immigrant Italian mother while the front of the house is run by her very friendly and accommodating sons. The family is from Lucca in Tuscany which influences the menu - Tuscan specialties like the Cannellini Beans with tomato and basil join delicious ultra-thin artisan pizzas with high quality ingredients and a few delectable pasta dishes. The pasta with spicy tomato-based Arrabiata sauce is among the best I've ever eaten. My favorite pizza is the truffle pizza with arugala and salami. It's poetry to the mouth. Prices are reasonable and portions are very generous.
Wonderful family owned restaurant that doesn't feel touristy at all. The pizza was OMG thin, floppy and delicious just like you find in Naples. We also had the prosciutto and melon and the pasta pesto, yum! Will definitely go back.
I brought a friend here who is a lover of thin crust pizza and she and I were both blown away by the food. The single serving pizzas are expensive but worth it. The bruschetta was delicious and when we saw an order of burratta cheese go by to another table, I requested a side of this creamy deliciousness in addition to all of the food we already had. I can't wait to go back to try more of their menu items.
Baonecci specializes in cracker-crisp thin crust pizza, and it's excellent. It's not soggy in the middle like Neopolitan style. The sausage and salame pizza was great. The Tiramisù is above average; it has 3 layers, each nicely done: mousse on top, soaked lady fingers, and cream on the bottom. But some of the tables are packed tightly together: your neighboring table will hear everything you say, which detracts a bit from a romantic date-night experience.
Best small reasonable neighborhood spot. Love it!!'m
Amazing thin crust pizza. very nice neighborhood feel.
Was in the mood for Italian food and found this little gem with an iPad search. Absolutely wonderful. Service was prompt and attentive. Decided to try one of their signature thin-crust pizzas and enjoyed it thoroughly. Will go back again.
We were happy to have had a reservation as there is a small number of tables. The food was outstanding. We had the bruschetta to start with some Chianti. I had the house made pasta, another in our party had a pizza which looked delicious. What a great little neighborhood restaurant!
This is a small, comfortable and lively family run place in North Beach. The ingredients making up the delicious and well-made appetizers, salad and entrees were very fresh. We appreciated the attentive (not intrusive) service. They easily accommodated a child's request for a simple pasta dish, which wasn't on the menu. I will return to try the pizza, which looked amazing!
Food was great. Pizzas were a little pricey for the quantity, but the quality was not lacking. I would definitely recommend to others and go back.
The family is great and the food is authentic to the Lucca region of Italy.
You can pop in almost any pizzeria in North Beach and get a delicious pie, but if you want to be transcended don't miss this place. Get the chianti, the truffle salami and finish w the Gorgonzola and pear. Enjoy. And then take a pie home for a late night snack or breakfast!! Delectably tender thin crust with the best toppings. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Wish I could walk down the street now an order a pizza!!! Not to be missed. Make a reservation as many get turned away.
Fab food, great service. We were made to feel like we were locals not just visitors. One of the best Pizzas I have ever had.
An intimate, family owned and run restaurant. The pizzas with thin crust and tasty toppings were excellent. The wine list was a little disappointing. Overall a great experience.
Cute Italian staff, fabulous pizza, great attentive service...I felt like I was in Italy. Our 43 year old urban savvy friend said it was the best pizza he'd ever had. Bravo!
The pizza was fantastic! Perfect crust, flavors, and size. We arrived 20 minutes before our reservation time, but were seated promptly nonetheless. The waiter gave us just the right amount of attention and information, and the ambiance was cozy and comfortable. I like that there are photos of the former Danilo bakery staff on the walls; it gave the place a sense of honor for its history. There is also a beautiful portrait of the family's dog looking over the dining room with a watchful gaze, which made me feel right at home.
We were looking for a wonderful family pizza place and boy did we find it! They were so nice and it was a cute little neighborhood! We will be back next year!
We ate early so it was very quiet. The service was attentive and they accommodated a special request for the pizza. The pizza had the best thin crust I have every eaten and the toppings do not overwhelm the crust. My friend lives close to the restaurant and is probably going to be going there several times a week!
Finally real Italian pizza like we do in Tuscany. I'm ltalian moved here in 98 and this is it. Personable service and awesome food. Thx Walter and family.
If you are craving an authentic Italian meal then come here. My favorite is the Pasta Al Forno but the eggplant is also delicious! If you have a drinking problem, you will also love their extensive wine list :)
I enjoyed my dinner. It's a fun, quaint restaurant. You squeeze through the kitchen to get to the rest room. The pizza was good, although one of the thinnest crusts I've ever had, maybe a bit over the line to too thin.
This place isn't much to look at, and given the profusion of restaurants on Green Street it didn't stand out visually - but the pizza makes up for that. A very classic Italian menu gives wine suggestions for every dish. Their house white was OK; the "house" Chianti was much better, and went well with the food.
We love Baonecci and come here regularly to fulfill our thin crust pizza cravings. The truffle salami pizza is by far the best. This is a great spot for groups - great food that is good for sharing, reasonable prices, and walking distance from a number of bars for after dinner drinks. Wine list leaves something to be desired but otherwise love.
My recent dining experience at Baonecci felt like dropping into some kind of space/time warp and suddenly finding myself in an authentic small neighborhood ristorante right in Lucca with the same ambience, menu items and presentation one would find in Tuscany. What a sweet little gem of a place! Not fancy - but great food for people who love regional Lucchese cuisine in an authntic setting. The proprietor Walter and his family all work there, they make great food, and they make all of their guests feel completely welcome and at home. How can you beat that? I wish the owners every success - they totally deserve it.
This isn't a spiffy north-beach place that caters to tourists by having fancy decor and mediocre food. It's a very comfortable neighborhood place with lovely food. It's the kind of place that, if I lived nearby, I'd be a regular at.
Visited this spot when we visited San Francisco. The pizza here is amazing. The truffle pizza is a must try as well as the eggplant dish. The service was quick and the family that runs this restaurant is very nice and accommodating. This is a must try spot!
The salumi pizza with truffle oil and argula is hands-down the best thin crust pizza we have ever had. The service was great, and the staff were personable. We are very much looking forward to returning soon.
The atmosphere transported me back to Italy. You felt as though instead of Thank you , you should be saying Grazie. We got a pizza and it was delicious! The location is just off the main strip, easy to get to and some shops to visit while you are in the area. I would definitely return.
Fresh made pasta !!!! Pizza is one of the best in the city.
We were in San Francisco over Thanksgiving and dined at this great little restaurant. We arrived around 530pm and the place was empty. By the time we left, there was no tables available. The thin crust pizza is wonderful. Our favorite was a salami with truffle oil. Service was just right, attentive and prompt. Worth a visit in Little Italy.

Before I start, let me say that recently I have been busy a lot with school and work and have barely any time for myself. However, these ideas have been running through my mind and the festering of these ideas has nearly burned a hole through my skull. With that being said, I am looking for one or two partners that will want to engage in a high casual role play with me. I am looking for someone who can post at least once a day (though I am busy with life, once a day is doable for me). I am looking for someone who can post at least 5 paragraphs, with at least 7-10 sentences within each paragraph. I dont think Im asking for a lot so if anyone is interested, please shoot me a PM. Also, please be at least 17. These is a very mature topic and I dont intend on being the person who defiles and corrupts a clean mind with gore, language and violence. There are a few rules below that I put there in case you wanted to know what kind of things I like and dont like when it comes to role playing. You dont have to read it all though. Just know the basics.
1. Please try to post every day, at least once a day. I know its hard and life gets in the way, believe me I know, but if you dont post at least once a day, I will get disinterested very quickly and Id hate for us to work so hard to just crash before we even get off the runway.
2. If something does come up and you cant post that day or for a few days, just shoot me a quick message. Just something that lets me know you didnt disappear. Which brings me to my next point.
3. Please, please, please, please, please, please, PUH-LEASE, for the love of all things good on this Earth, dont just leave me high and dry. Like I said in the past 2 points, if life gets in the way I understand. If youre disinterested or youre stuck, LET ME KNOW. I will do everything in my power to help you out with whatever is going that isnt allowing you to post, whether I need to change my post to get you unstuck or if you need to give me a call and rant about how much you hate your life. Just dont leave, because that will discourage me from role playing with you in the future.
4. Try to post at least 3 paragraphs per post. Each paragraph being 7-10 sentences long. Its honestly not that hard. If you give me a good post, I could mirror or even surpass your post, giving you plenty to work with. I understand that blocks happen, I get them all the time, so if you need some help, dont hesitate to ask.
5. Grammar. Im not a grammar Nazi, but I am an English major. Bad grammar to an extent is inevitable, after all, were not professional writers. But if you text-talk or are spelling things wrong and using punctuation incorrectly constantly, I will address the situation.
6. God-Mod and Doubling First things first, God Mod, just dont. Because I will drop you faster than you could say Im sorry. Doubling, thats a good thing. Playing 1x1 role play is no fun when its literally just one character per player. I dont mind more than one main character, but there has to be side characters in order to develop a good story.
7. Maturity. I am a 19 year old guy. I know how the world works. People curse, people have sex, and people get a little grotesque. Please be at least 17. Im not going to be responsible for corrupting your clean little mind. On that note, Im fine with sex, Im not okay with pure smut.
***Before you read these ideas(1&2), please understand that this is not intended to offend or disturb anyone. These ideas were created/thought of solely for the literature purpose. This was not thought of for the intent of sadistic pleasure. Thank you.***

any recommendations on a good liver support product?
CEL have a liver support product called cycle assist, which I'll be using for my next cycle:
Whilst I have not used it myself, it has an excellent profile of ingredients, very closely resembling Cycle Support by Anabolic Innovations:
I used Anabolic Xtreme's Perfect Cycle for my last M-drol run (4 weeks, 20/30/40/40), although personally I feel that the two I've posted above are better products.
What's your cycle going to be like? Have you got a PCT protocol in mind? (You need liver support for PCT as well).
I agree I would go with Cycle Support.
You can get the MDrol Support stack at the board store for just $99
Sleep Supplement 3Z BCAA: Red Raspberry and Lemon flavors
HGH/sleep enhancer: HGHpro
Test Booster: TestoPRO and STOKED!
Preworkout: MANIAC Fruit Punch and Pink Lemonade
am on m drol right now and ive just been using milk thisle. but then again maybe something better is out there to use.
ended up going with this for now, was able to buy it at a local store.
LiverCare (Liv.52) - Liver support formula (450 mg - 90 vegi-capsules)
Liv 52 is ok, but it might not be enough on it's own for a cycle like M-drol which is pretty harsh on the liver.
I speak from experience mate, I only used AX Perfect Cycle during my last run and my liver function levels were STILL elevated 4 months later.
I shall not be taking such a risk again.
lol, pot? (joke). If you're a naturally aggressive person then the m-drol will only make it worse.
Any foods high in Tryptophan (dairy foods, turkey) and magnesium will help produce more serotonin and increase parasympathetic drive, 'mellowing' you out. Try getting some more cottage cheese and sunflower seeds in your diet.
In terms of supplements, rhodiola rosea, kava kava and green tea are all supposed to be good for anxiety. I'm not sure if any of the companies on the boards produce a supplement directed at reducing anxiety/aggression.
score, thanks for all the info!
On Cycle & Post Cycle Therapy 1 Liver assist, 1 cycle assist 1 inhibit @ $59.95
Hey I'm looking to go on a m-drol cycle i'm completely new to all this.... how do you suggest I go about it?

I collected in the past coins, rocks, stamps, fossils, but nothing much for the past few years.
Most serious collection I ever did was probably of KISS cds. Had to have them all. There's over 40 in total. At some point later to that I got housebroken. Lost all of them. Over time I was able to re-buy some of them (not mine, new ones) but I never had them all again. It's kind of silly to have to buy again stuff that used to be yours.
Other collections I made would be ... Asterix comic books, Agatha Christie detective novels, The Sims 2 custom content and ... some books for kids that I collected for my child. Had over 100 of them, all in the same series of Mr. and Mrs. You probably know them, you know, Mr Grouchy, Mr Bump and Little Miss Sunshine.

Lightwave [6] For NT
03/15/2000 - 00:00
files/pictures/picture-35.jpgDuring the week of March 6, 2000, NewTek began shipping the eagerly anticipated Windows NT versions of LightWave [6]. This is NewTek's most significant upgrade to LightWave in 10 years, and the new upgrade features advanced modeling tools, groundbreaking rendering capabilities, advanced character animation features and a refined working environment. The new version boasts more features than we could possibly list. The most interesting ones are: Radiosity and Caustic Rendering -- NewTek claims that LightWave [6] can deliver the nuances of lighting better than any other 3D package on the market; VIPER (Versatile Interactive Preview Renderer) -- this tool provides users with an interactive preview of key elements of a scene that would usually require the time of a full scene render; Skelegons -- these are a new type of polygon that appear like 3D bones, however, Skelegons are automatically updated as users make modifications to their model, as well as providing a wealth of tools for creating bone structures and control and maintenance of characters; and Endomorphs -- a feature that allows users to change the expression, mood or action by training a single model. Endomorphs are ideal tools for lip-synch and complex morphing scenarios. There is no doubt that LightWave [6] is a massive upgrade, and the new tools and features will become invaluable to LightWave users. However, we've been waiting a long time for this, and after all of the hype and pre-release publicity NewTek has been building up, I truly hope LightWave [6] can not only live up to, but exceed our expectations.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome says the decision to fire offensive coordinator Cam Cameron in December was orchestrated solely by coach John Harbaugh.
Cameron was dismissed the day after Baltimore lost to the Washington Redskins on Dec. 9. There had been speculation either Newsome or owner Steve Bisciotti pushed Harbaugh into making the call.
Asked Friday if that was the case, Newsome said "no!" eight times and added, "That wouldn't be fair to John."
Quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell replaced Cameron and helped rejuvenate quarterback Joe Flacco and the offense. The Ravens are heading to the Super Bowl after scoring 90 points in three playoff games.
Newsome says Harbaugh discussed firing Cameron during the ride home after the Redskins game, then solidified his decision the next day.
No charges against Crabtree
San Francisco's district attorney won't file criminal charges against 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree after reviewing evidence of an alleged sexual assault in a hotel after the team's playoff victory against the Packers.
After examining a "thorough investigation" submitted by police, District Attorney George Gascon said Friday his office determined that no charges would be filed "at this time."
Around the league
Dallas: The Cowboys hired Rich Bisaccia as special teams coach three weeks after he joined the Auburn staff in a similar capacity. New Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said Friday that Bisaccia had "an offer that he felt he could not turn down" after the Tigers hired him to coach running backs and special teams on Jan. 3. The Cowboys reported their hiring on the team's website. Bisaccia was special teams coach at Tampa Bay from 2002-10 and worked alongside new Dallas defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin and defensive line coach Rod Marinelli.
Houston: Running back Arian Foster says players are going to step up at the Pro Bowl this year, but don't expect 100 percent effort. After practicing with his AFC teammates, Foster said that it's unrealistic to expect full effort from the top athletes when they're limited in the plays they're able to run. Effort has emerged as the top theme for this year's Pro Bowl as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has made it clear the all-star game won't be played going forward if it's second-rate football.
Kansas City: The Chiefs hired former Packers defensive back Al Harris to coach their secondary and Mark DeLeone as a quality control coach and also retained assistant strength coach Brent Salazar.
Minnesota: Rookie left tackle Matt Kalil is headed to Hawaii after all. Kalil was added to the NFC's Pro Bowl roster Friday to replace Washington Redskins tackle Trent Williams, who is injured. Kalil was the fourth overall draft pick last April and immediately established himself as a top player at one of the game's most important positions. He helped pave the way for Adrian Peterson to rush for more than 2,000 yards and usually faced the opponent's top pass rusher as the protector for Christian Ponder's blind side.
New York Giants: The team signed tight end Jamie Childers, cornerback Buddy Jackson and kicker-punter Jake Rogers to reserve-future contracts.
Oakland: The Raiders rounded out their coaching staff by hiring former NFL defensive coordinator Bob Sanders as linebackers coach. Sanders spent the past four seasons in Buffalo, coaching defensive linemen and linebackers. He was defensive coordinator in Green Bay for three seasons before that.
San Francisco: Kicker David Akers calls his struggles this season a "head scratcher" and says if the 49ers win the Super Bowl it will erase all of his 14 misses this season. Akers missed an NFL-worst 13 field goals this season and then hit the upright on a 38-yarder in last week's NFC championship game. He says he feels like he is kicking the ball well and he's off by a matter of inches, which is frustrating because "an inch is a mile in our game."
Seattle: The Seahawks hired former Cleveland and Miami executive Matt Thomas as their new vice president of football administration.

News about the Columbus Blue Jackets from The Columbus Dispatch. Sent weekdays during the Blue Jackets' season and as news breaks during the offseason.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has proposed eliminating regional hunting "zones" in favor of a system in which deer bag limits are set at the county level. The bag limits would be two, three or four per county, depending on the county.
Among the other recommendations for the 2013-14 Ohio deer seasons, the total number of deer that a hunter could kill in Ohio would be reduced from 18 to nine; urban deer zones would be eliminated; a two-day antlerless-only muzzleloader season would be added in October; and the hunting hours would be extended by 30 minutes each day for all firearms seasons.
The proposal also would eliminate the current bonus gun weekend in December and the early muzzleloader season at three public hunting areas: Salt Fork Wildlife Area, Shawnee State Forest and Wildcat Hollow.
The ODNR said it will take public comment on the proposal at wildohio.com and during open-house forums statewide on March 2. The Wildlife Council will vote on the proposal at its April 17 meeting.
Here are the proposed deer bag limits, by county:
• Two-deer counties, with one either-sex permit and one antlerless permit allowed. The eight counties are Darke, Erie, Fayette, Hancock, Madison, Ottawa, Sandusky and Wood.
• Three-deer counties, with two either-sex permits and one antlerless permit allowed. The 23 counties: Auglaize, Butler, Champaign, Clark, Gallia, Harrison, Henry, Hocking, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, Logan, Meigs, Mercer, Miami, Monroe, Montgomery, Perry, Preble, Ross, Shelby, Van Wert and Washington.
• Four-deer counties, with three either-sex permits and one antlerless permit allowed. The 57 counties, which include much of central Ohio, cover Adams, Allen, Ashland, Ashtabula, Athens, Belmont, Brown, Carroll, Clermont, Clinton, Columbiana, Coshocton, Crawford, Cuyahoga, Defiance, Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Fulton, Geauga, Greene, Guernsey, Hamilton, Hardin, Highland, Holmes, Huron, Knox, Lake, Licking, Lorain, Lucas, Mahoning, Marion, Medina, Morgan, Morrow, Muskingum, Noble, Paulding, Pickaway, Pike, Portage, Putnam, Richland, Scioto, Seneca, Stark, Summit, Trumbull, Tuscarawas, Union, Vinton, Warren, Wayne, Williams and Wyandot.
Mike Tonkovich, the Division of Wildlife's deer project leader, said much of the change amounts to a shift in nomenclature rather than to a modification in the way Ohio's whitetail herd is managed.
"In the past, counties with similar needs were put together into zones for convenience even though they didn't always fit. This (change) is a step in the right direction," Tonkovich said.

The large fan base that is expected to file through the gates at Jerome T. Osborne Stadium on Friday for the second News-Herald Senior Bowl is anticipating and hoping for an offensive shootout.
Fans want to see the large scoreboard at the JTO light up via wide-open offenses that can score at will.
You'll have to pardon William Cloud if he doesn't join that faction of fans.
"Oh, I'd be very offended," the defensive lineman from Benedictine said. "As a defensive player, we have egos. We don't want anyone scoring points on us."
As much as the majority of people at the Senior Bowl are looking forward to a night full of offensive highlights, Cloud has plenty of company in looking for more of a low-scoring affair.
Anyone who is slotted to play defense for Tim Willis' White team and George Burich's Blue team is looking for something different, sort of like ...
Well, let Mayfield linebacker Larry Pinto take it from here.
"Anytime you play on the defensive side of the ball, you want that goose-egg. The zero," said Pinto, who will suit up for the White team, while Cloud is on the Blue.
"Just being from Mayfield, it's part of the tradition that you don't let teams score. A lot of these guys -- Lake Catholic and Madison -- they're tough kids. They don't want to give up any points, either."
The White defense is highlighted by Mayfield, Lake Catholic and Madison -- three tradition-rich teams that boast stout defenses every year.
The White team's defensive coaches, Lake Catholic assistants John Gibbons and Art Bortnick, are taking this game seriously and so are the players. With good reason, too, because the Blue team has (among others) standouts from Mentor, South and North.
All three teams have used wide-open, no-huddle, spread offenses over the past number of years.
The task of facing North QB George Gresko (2,303 yards passing, 21 touchdowns), Mentor WR Cameron Kavan (1,037 yards receiving) and North WR Kyle Holzheimer (584 yards), not to mention North RB Jordan Morris (1,208 yards rushing) and Hawken's Jeremy Simmons (1,444) -- among other Blue team standouts -- has its risks.
"I'm looking forward to it," said Madison linebacker Billy Skerkavich of the White team. "Whoever runs the ball, if they run my way, just know that they better tighten up those chin straps."
The scouting report on the White team seems to be a little different. Loaded with running backs such as Ledgemont's Danny LaRosa (2,031 yards rushing), VASJ's Tim Harrison (1,359), Brush's Demetrius Holmes and Euclid's De'Andre Rollins (575), most figure Willis' team to run the ball a lot.
"It's a bunch of Madison kids," said North linebacker Brennan Torok of the Blue team, "so they're going to try and run the ball down our throats. That's not gonna work."
Blue's defense also has to keep an eye on White QB Tyler Eden (1,519 yards passing, 23 TDs), who has plenty of weapons to work with, including All-Ohio sprinter CJ Germany of VASJ.
"Stop everything they do," said Torok matter-of-factly when asked about his team's defensive game plan. "Don't let them gain any yards or nothing. Keep them off the scoreboard and let our offense do their job."
All-star games such as this are generally geared for offense. The defenses must play a base set, aren't allowed to stunt or blitz, and must play man-to-man in the secondary.
Willis said, "it just comes down to fundamentals and going one-on-one. You just hope you've got better players than the other team."
The consensus this week at the JTO suggests each team has the upper hand in talent -- depending on which team you ask. Both offenses think they have the talent to light up the scoreboard, and both teams have defenses which plan on disappointing the masses by pitching a shutout.
"Yeah, it's a challenge," said Kirtland cornerback Zach Santo of the Blue team. "I'm very excited about the skill level on the other team, just so I can up my game and try to shut them down."
Torok agreed -- emphatically.
"Some people think this is just for fun, but we're here to win," he said.
And for those who want an eye-popping, offensive-minded game?
"They're in for a rude awakening," Torok said.

Aerial view shows the eruption of the volcano Grimsvotn in the south-east of Iceland, May 21. Iceland closed its main international airport May 22 following the eruption of a volcano in the south-east of the country, aviation authorities said. The decision also affected other Icelandic airports, while transatlantic flights would be diverted south of Iceland, according to a spokesperson of the aviation authority Isavia. The Grimsvotn volcano began to erupt on Saturday, the Icelandic Meteorological Office said. But the prevailing winds suggested that the Grimsvotn ash cloud would in the coming days blow north and not affect mainland Europe.

Area Roundup:
The Lynnville-Sully girls (11-6, 10-6) were victorious over the Belle Plaine Plainsman (11-6, 11-6) on Tuesday night by a score of 45-35 on the heels of a strong second half.
The two teams were separated by just two points at halftime but enjoyed scoring outbursts from junior Casey Cullen and sophomore Lysandra James, who were the only Hawks in double figures and finished with 12 and 13 points respectively.
"The girls did a good job of executing the game plan on the defensive end. We had good rotation on defense and set the attitude for the game." Coach Jerry Hulsing said. "We passed the ball better and knocked down open shots."

For Lucero's album, frontman Ben Nichols wanted "an old school rock 'n' roll record."
For "Women & Work," released in the spring, Nichols channeled the city he's called home for more than a decade: Memphis.
Home of Stax Records, Booker T & the MGs, Elvis, Al Green and Jerry Lee Lewis, a Memphis rock sound comes through on the album.
"You kinda stack all that stuff up and it's an impressive legacy," Nichols told us on the phone from his Memphis home. "When you're making a new record here, you can't top that stuff, so all you can hope to do is to do it justice."
In advance of the band's show Monday at The Waiting Room Lounge, Nichols talked about writing the new album, his songwriting and how the band has changed over its 14 years.
Q. How did you write the songs on the album?
A. "On My Way Downtown" was one of the first songs written for the record. I guess "I Can't Stand to Leave You" was probably the very first one that I wrote. Then "Women & Work" came next. I wrote it really quickly. That actually might be the quickest I ever put a song together. I had random phrases written down, and I decided not to think too much and just write a rock 'n' roll song. It ended up being really fun and it set the tone for a lot of the rest of the record.
Once I had the tone of the record in mind with "Women & Work" and "Lightning" and "It May Be Too Late" — I just kinda wanted an old school rock 'n' roll record — the bridge to "Downtown" fit in perfectly.
Q. Do you sit down with a guitar or notebook to write songs?
A. Usually fumbling around on the guitar and kinda walking around the house playing guitar until your fingers hit some frets that sound good. Then you follow that for a little bit. The music's pretty much there and then it takes forever to write lyrics.
To find anything worth actually saying is not easy. Hell, it doesn't have to be worth saying, but as long as it's not too stupid. It's really easy to mess up a good song with horrible lyrics, which I've definitely done in the past but I try to avoid.
Q. The album sounds really big almost like the band is much more comfortable with the horns that were added on your last album, "1372 Overton Park."
A. I think so. We'd never played a live show with the horns when we recorded "1372." Then we spent the last two or three years playing with them. Now, they're pretty much part of the band. They've got the Lucero tattoos and they're with us, part of the team.
I thought the horns were done very well with "1372," but they're integrated better on "Women & Work." And there's more pedal steel — Todd Beene from Glossary played pedal steel with us and he's got a much stronger presence on "Women & Work."
I think this one sounds more like Lucero whereas "1372" sounded like Lucero with horns.
Q. I like how the horns give a new feel to some of the older songs.
A. My horn players and my keyboard player are professional as hell. They've done a lot of session work and played with a bunch of people for a lot of years. It's amazing how they can take a song and write an arrangement for it and take it to a whole other level.
Lucero's been around for 14 years now and (they've) kind of breathed some new life into some very old songs. You're not rewriting them or changing them at all, but accentuating them in different ways — taking the old stuff and relooking at it. I think it was healthy for the band, and I think it makes the live shows more interesting. I think it was good for everybody.
Q. You can also strip the songs down and do them with just you.
A. Yeah, you've got plenty of room dynamically. You can get really big or strip everything away and get really quiet. I like having that flexibility.
