Patricia McKee,Kidney Transplant Recipient
Kidney transplant is the surgical procedure in which a kidney from a donor is placed in the body of a patient who has irreversible kidney failure. More than 1,900 kidney transplants have been performed successfully at the University of Kentucky over the past 42 years. For some patients, this procedure offers the opportunity for a healthier quality of life. However, a kidney transplant is not for everyone.
Our goal is to help you and your family learn more about kidney transplantation and begin the decision-making process. We encourage you to contact the Kidney Transplant Office with additional questions.
1-866-474-6544 or859-323-6544
Most patients with irreversible kidney failure are potential candidates for kidney transplant. Overall health and well-being are important. For example, you must have stable heart and lung function in order to safely withstand the surgical procedure. Your medical history, including previous transplants, smoking, alcohol or drug abuse, and difficulty in following medical advice will also affect your possibility for transplant. All of these issues are considered for each patient to ensure that the best decision is made.Since transplant requires a lifelong commitment to taking medication and to having regular physician contact, patients also must understand and be willing to accept this responsibility.
Only human kidneys can be transplanted into humans, so each kidney transplant involves a donated kidney. The two types of kidney donors are living kidney donors and cadaveric donors.
Living kidney donors - A living blood relative or close friend not related by blood may choose to have one of their two kidneys removed for transplantation. The donor and recipient must have compatible tissue and blood types, so not all relatives or friends will be candidates for donation. If a compatible match is found in a relative or friend, the recipient will have a better long-term survival rate with a living donor kidney than a cadaveric donation. For the donor, this process does involve some risk, as with any surgery. However, the donor's remaining kidney will grow until it is able to do the work of two kidneys. Living donors have a normal life span and have no restrictions on their lifestyle and activities as a result of the donation. UK HealthCare performs living donor kidney transplants and took a pioneering role in laparoscopic kidney donation.
Cadaveric donor - A cadaveric donor is a person with irreversible brain damage who has been declared brain-dead and whose family has agreed to donate the organs for transplantation. The distribution of cadaveric donor kidneys is managed by regional organ banks, all of which are closely regulated by the United States government. Potential recipients are registered on both national and regional waiting lists. Recipients for donor kidneys are selected based on the closest tissue and blood type match, as well as length of time on the waiting list. There are many issues to consider in determining the best donor option for you. The transplant team will work with you in evaluating all aspects of each option, including consideration of your medical situation and tissue compatibility needs.
Patients referred to our Transplant Center undergo a complete medical assessment specific to their needs. This assessment may include:
Patients are also screened for anticipated compliance, support system availability and emotional stability. Financial coverage for the transplant and aftercare is also confirmed.
The success of kidney transplant depends on your condition going into surgery and the type of donor you receive for your transplant. If you are in fairly good health, your chances for a successful outcome within 30 days are between 90 and 95 percent for a cadaveric donor and 92 and 96 percent for a living donor. Patients who are critically ill have lower chances for a good outcome.Overall, the chance of living one year after kidney transplantation is 85 to 90 percent for a cadaveric donor and 90 to 95 percent for a living donor. After the first year, patients who consistently take their medication and visit their physician should continue to enjoy the benefits of transplant for a long time.
Roberto Gedaly, MD, is the director of the UK HealthCare Transplant Center's renal transplant program, and Thomas H. Waid, MD, is the medical director.
The transplant team consists of doctors, nurses, social workers, dietitians, pharmacists, financial counselors and other health care professionals working together to care for you throughout the transplant process.
For a listing of other members of the transplant teams, please go to the main University of Kentucky employee directory »
The costs associated with transplantation, both for the procedure and for post-transplant care, can be a source of concern for potential recipients. There are a number of ways to cover the cost of a transplant, including private insurance, Medicare coverage, Medicaid, advocacy organizations and fundraising. A financial counselor is available at the UK HealthCare Transplant Center to help you determine the resources available for you. It is important to discuss these issues prior to surgery. You can reach the finance counselor for transplantation by calling 859-323-9347.
We encourage you to learn as much as possible about all aspects of the kidney transplant process. To learn more about the UK HealthCare Kidney Transplant Program, please call toll free 1-866-474-6544 or locally, 859-323-6544, to speak to a member of the transplant team.

The movies based on the novels of Nicholas Sparks emphasize simple pleasures: a quiet locale, a stroll on the beach, a romance that doesn't begin in a bar and end in bed the same night.
Those simple pleasures are at the forefront of Safe Haven, another sweet tale from the author of Dear John, The Last Song and The Notebook. It has another beach town — sleepy, bucolic Southport, N.C. — and another pair of lovers with big secrets.
Katie (Julianne Hough) is on the run from Boston, and the locals — especially the handsome widowed shopkeeper, Alex (Josh Duhamel) — take an interest.
An overly nosy and overly friendly neighbor (Cobie Smulders) and a twinkly old uncle (Red West) prod Alex to approach the pretty new waitress.
And a couple of cute kids eyeball Katie — one hoping that she'll replace her dead mom, the other fearing the same thing.
Director Lasse Hallstrom (Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, Chocolat) takes pains to hide each character's secrets. The Boston cop (David Lyons) obsessed with tracking down Katie uses more police work than common sense to find her, and we glimpse the dead wife's attic office that Alex rarely visits.
The offhandedly charming Duhamel is better at this type of laid-back slow-burn love than Hough, who is never more than adequate.
The movie is for people who nod their heads at the revelation "Life is full of second chances." It has tragedy and heartbreak, and a story so safe that nobody would consider any of it edgy.
The formula has made Sparks rich, but some of us want more from big-screen romances — especially a film released on Valentine's Day.

Persuading the Dead
October 20, 2000 The a cappella group The Persuasions decided to do an album of Grateful Dead songs. As "The Dead" have been icons of sub-culture since the mid 60's, and have inspired more than one generation of devotees (Deadheads), they knew that covering the harmonies would not suffice. They would have to rediscover AND reinvent the music - both for themselves, and the audience.
A Man Tapes His Town
October 6, 2000 Eddie McCoy is an unlikely historian. He grew up and has lived his whole life in Oxford, North Carolina — a tobacco town of some 10,000 people. When he was injured in a car accident and couldn't keep working, he found a tape recorder and started interviewing people. His work is a unique window on small town life in the South.
The Galveston Storm of 1900
September 8, 2000 John Burnett looks at the worst natural disaster in U.S. history: a hurricane that hit Galveston, Texas in 1900, killing 6,000 people in the city alone. The great hurricane arrived on a Saturday in September, almost without warning, reducing the town to a splintered wasteland.
Voices from the Dust Bowl
July 28, 2000 In 1940, Charles Todd and Robert Sonkin were hired by the Library of Congress to travel around California and record the lives, stories and music of Dust Bowl refugees. They traveled around the state's central valley, lugging a 50-pound recording machine. The two men created an oral history of refugees from Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas who had left their draught and depression-ravaged homelands to look for jobs in the west.
The Mother Ship

May 26, 2000 For at least 40 years, shortwave listeners have been stumbling across the eerie sound of unidentified stations transmitting only voices chanting numbers. Speculation on their purpose has ranged from UFO landing coordinates to international espionage. We explore the mystery of the shortwave numbers stations through the recordings compiled by hardcore numbers monitors.

An inside dog accepts his fate
It sure was nice to have an outside dog who would wander around the woods behind our house and in our yard. She never has the desire to run off down the road or leave the neighborhood.
Whenever we pull up to the house, DeDe comes running from around a corner or from behind a tree to greet us. You can make a bet that DeDe will be there anytime you arrive.
As I sat in my glider last night, enjoying the cool breeze, DeDe came up on the porch. She nestled her nose on my bare feet and just took a seat by me.
It's nice to have a dog that is just a good old country dog who stays home, only wanders occasionally and always wants a little company.
Growing up, I had a few outside dogs. But for the most part, my dogs stayed inside.
Momma always had those "lap dogs." Her little Shih Tzus were the princesses of the house. Their bottom of their paws only touched carpet and fresh cut grass. Their water was cool and clean. Their food came out of a plastic dispenser. And they slept on a soft cushion or fluffy comforter.
Maw Maw always had outside dogs. The bottom of their paws were used to gravel, weeds, rocks and dirt. Their water had an occasional leaf or bug in it. Their food was either out of a plastic bowl or simply lumped together on the ground as scraps. And they slept under a concrete carport or in the driveway.
Maw Maw hated inside dogs. She said dogs had no place in the house. But that changed the day Roho arrived at our house on Nobles Road in Monticello.
Roho was just a plain mutt. There is no need saying, "he was mix this, or mix that." He was just a mutt.
He wandered up our driveway, starving and tired. We kept our distance at first. We weren't sure if he was mean or aggressive.
But he walked right into the carport and jumped into Paw Paw's wheelchair, right on top of his egg cart-like cushion seat. The brand name of the seat was Roho, and the name stuck.
Roho quickly became an inside dog. So much so that he forgot about his outdoor ways at times. He ate from under the table. He either slept with me or in the utility room. And he sometimes had to be dressed in baby clothes and carted around in a carriage.
But he always had a longing to run outside. We usually walked him on a leash or chained him in the yard, but that dog wanted out on his own.
Roho was constantly trying to sneak out. He would wait by the door, try to paw the screen door open. Maw Maw always caught him, and he would go back to the living room or kitchen.
Paw Paw was going out the back door one day in his wheelchair. And Roho made his move.
That dog went about 90 miles an hour under Paw Paw's wheelchair and straight out the door.
"What's happening," Paw Paw asked,confused by the flash of light he saw come under his feet.
I pushed Paw Paw out of the way and made my way into the yard. All I saw was Roho's back as he ran down Nobles Road.
"Maw Maw," I screamed. "Roho is gone and never coming back."
It was like a scene from a movie. I fell to my knees in the front yard, tears rolling down my cheeks, hands in the air. I think I may have yelled an agonizing, "Nooooo...."
Maw Maw came barreling out of the kitchen with Roho's leash in hand. I had never seen Maw Maw move that fast before. Paw Paw said his hat was almost carried off by the wind.
I have to admit that Mother Nature assisted Maw Maw in her hunt for Roho. The poor dog stopped to relieve himself on the side of the road when Maw Maw came behind him like a creature from a horror movie.
Tossing the leash around like a lasso in a rodeo, she was able to catch Roho.
I was still on my knees when I saw Maw Maw bringing Roho behind her on his leash. I was so happy that I jumped up to greet them.
Roho was grounded for awhile after that. Apparently, Maw Maw was so embarrassed that the neighbors saw her running after a dog that she didn't even speak to Roho for a week.
And Roho never tried to escape outside again. In fact, he wouldn't even look at the door after that. He knew in that world beyond the screen door there was no instant food, no clean water, no soft beds.
Just grandmothers in cotton nightgowns and sponge hair rollers with elastic ropes that you can't outrun even on a good day.

Police pen up and mace female "Occupy Wall Street" protesters
In a disturbing scene from today's "Occupy Wall Street" protests, a group of peaceful female protesters were rounded up in an orange-colored mesh pen by police and subsequently sprayed with mace without any provocation.
In spite of multiple reported incidents of possible police violence, major media outlets seem to be content to let the protests go by completely unreported, following the same "who-cares" attitude they have taken toward recent revelations that the NYPD has violated the Constitutional rights of American citizens by spying on them as possible terrorists and enemies of the state despite a complete absence of evidence of any crimes.
This is absolutely disturbing. Penning people up to mace them is police brutality. Period. What will it take to get the mainstream media to pay attention? If you follow the #OccupyWallStreet, you'll find out that at least 80 were arrested today. AP and Wall Street Journal mentioned the arrests briefly today.
(via manilaryce)
I just witnessed a mass arrest and police brutality. I was detained in a police barricade and threatened with arrest for standing on the sidewalk as a spectator. Not a single member of NYPD could justify their actions to me. It was a peaceful protest before the cops showed up. THEY escalated the protest into violence with their aggression and infringement of basic rights and I can confidently say that as a bystander who had no involvement in the planning or implementation of the protest. However, I will now work towards upholding the ideals and principles behind the Occupy Wall Street Protest. The protest successfully exposed how our freedom here in the US is an illusion.

Don't take a chance this New Year's, or ever
Youhttp://buzzeddriving.adcouncil.org/'ve heard all the appeals to not drink and drive, now look at the math. It just does not make dollars and sense to drive drunk, or even buzzed:
There are quite a few expenses associated with a DUI arrest. Go Banking Rates investigated the charges a first-time offender can expect to pay (an accident or repeat offense increases these numbers significantly) and found the following to be typical expenses:

After a last minute change of time and location, we met up at Lighthouse Field to kick off Steve and Jennifer's Engagement Session before wrapping up at Natural Bridges. I can't wait for their beautiful wedding at Rancho Soquel. That venue looks like a dream with a zillion different backdrops. These two are both on the path to public services. Big jobs, that make big differences in people's lives. Love it! Despite a few logistics with directions, we still walked away with some great shots. Thanks you two for hanging in there, it was a bit of a roller coaster with all the change ups along the way.

Israel Stamp "Quantity Sold" Data
I have been collecting Israel stamps for about 30 years and have seen very little written in that time on the number of each issue printed and sold. The best reference that I have seen is in an early Bale Catalog, but even that was far from complete. Do Israeli officials have and publish this information? Has there been any authoritative study to determine how many copies of each issue have been produced and sold? Thank you.

Nutrex Hemo-Rage Black ULTRA Concentrate - 252g
Best Pre Workout
Best pre workout on the market. I took 1-2 scoops depending on what I was training about 20 minutes before the workout, felt stronger and my workouts seemed to fly by. Top top product
Nutrex Hemo-Rage Black ULTRA Concentrate - 252g
I've used hemo a few times now and found it fantastic. great focus, great pump. one of the best by far!
Applied Nutriceuticals RPM - 110 Caps
This is my first time i have used a product from Applied Nutriceuticals and im shocked at how effective RPM is. Felt major muscle pumps and a great burst of energy which made my strength increase. Great tabs !!
MusclePharm Bullet Proof - 40 Servings
Elephant Tranquillisers For Athletes
This stuff works great its like body-building warehouses own ZMA but is much stronger always use this stuff the night before a game and gets me to sleep instantly and feel great in the morning, A bit expensive but if your careful with your dosage then it works great. Would definitely recommend grape flavour mixes well and taste pretty good. ***** Stars
Nutrex Hemo-Rage Black ULTRA Concentrate - 252g
Not Bad!
I like this product, had some great pumps - but it doesn't give me a kick like 1MR does. Also, I normally feel quite drained and feel lethargic toward the end of my workout - which for me is bad as I train in the morning. Good price though!

"I Am BioLogos"
"I see BioLogos as an invaluable resource for parents who want to help their children grow as thoughtful, faithful Christians who make a real difference in today's world."
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
"I see BioLogos as an invaluable resource for parents who want to help their children grow as thoughtful, faithful Christians who make a real difference in today's world."
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
"For a few moments, it felt like our little church community was surrounded by glory. The wisdom of Christ in the hypothalamus was illumining the wisdom of Christ in the prophets and gospels."
What can a practicing scientist in the 21st century—even a "bench scientist" like me whose scientific forays are confined to a laboratory—glean from a 19th century wanderer like Thoreau?
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
We're pleased to introduce the first official commercials for BioLogos, produced by Ryan Pettey of Satellite Pictures and featuring BioLogos vice president Jeff Schloss, philosopher Alister McGrath, and theologian NT Wright.
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
Last month, we announced the 37 grantees from our Evolution & Christian Faith program! This month, we take a closer look at the projects and what's "in the pipeline" over the coming years from these grantees!
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
With great pleasure, the Board of Directors of The BioLogos Foundation announces the appointment of Deborah Haarsma to become our next President, and of Jeffrey Schloss to the role of Senior Scholar. Professor Haarsma assumes leadership from our outgoing President Darrel Falk, to whom we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude.
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.

Fred Stern, an artist who travels the world creating natural rainbows in the sky as large as 2,000 feet across, will create a natural rainbow at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk at Oct. 24 at the Sarasota Polo Club in Lakewood Ranch
Stern has come to Sarasota to support the event and in support of two friends who are battling cancer.
Stern will work with the Sarasota Volunteer Fire Department to pump water into the air to generate an artificial rainfall, which will refract the sun's light to create the rainbow as a part of the opening ceremonies.
Fred Stern is an acknowledged innovator in environmental art. He has served as associate professor of sculpture at Pratt Institute, and as Associate Professor of Visual Arts at New York University, the University of Maryland and the Instituto de Allende in Mexico.
Stern has received five major awards from the National Endowment for The Arts and grants from many local and private agencies to support his work. He was the first artist to receive an Art in Public Places Individual Artist Award from the National Endowment for the Arts for his rainbow work.
Stern has created more than 50 natural rainbows for events in major cities around the world. He opened the United Nation's Conference on the Environement in 1992, presented his work at a Palestinean-Israeli peace conference in Israel and Gaza, and has created numerous rainbws in support of the battle against cancer. His rainbows have graced the cities of New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Amsterdam, San Miguel de Allende, Baltimore and more. This past summer, he presented his work at the Portland Blues Festival in support of the Oregon Food Bank and he has been creating rainbows for children with cancer at Camp Quality Camps. He has created a natural moon rainbows for an Arab village in the mountains of Israel and for a camp for children who can not be exposed to daylight.
In 1996, in conjunction with Japanese National Television, he accomplished a long term dream of creating a rainbow over the United Nations Building in New York. In this monumental piece he raised what he sees, as the Planet's or God's true flag, over the flags of all nations, establishing a visual metaphor for Global Unity and World Peace.
Stern creates an artificial rainfall with fire trucks or fire boats, pumping water into the air. These water drops then refract the sun or moon light to create natural rainbows in the sky as large as 2,000 feet across. Stern uses a computer program to determine the optimal time, position and spray parameters for his natural rainbow generation.

I love great design and new innovative web pages, and I get really excited by new challenges. Over the last year my work has required that I learn and program more in c# on the .NET framework, and I am loving it! I am currently waist-deep learning MVC3 and I am so excited every day to come to work.

Online Reservations
Vraiment bon tapas! Service exceptionnel et belle ambiance!
We always go to this restaurant for are birthdays and we love it. The personal is great and the food excellent ;) the best waiter, M Chocolate ;)
No wonder it took us weeks to get a reservation here. Tuesday night and the place is packed. Everything was terrific from the welcome at the front door , to the food , the decor and the service. The pork carpaccio, the grilled octopus, the tapas of the day, etc. etc delicious . Kudos Tapeo and keep it up!
Loved trying a good assortment of tapas! Great menu, great food!
Food is always great, service is excellent. The ambiance is also great. Montreal's best place for tapas.
I was staying in downtown Montreal. It was only my second visit to the city. Tapeo was highly recommended online. At first, I was a bit annoyed in the taxi to find the restaurant so far away (my fault; lack of research), but the ride actually got me to see parts of the city I'd never seen before, and it was a beautiful night with the windows rolled down just to be a passenger. The restaurant made my whole trip to Montreal. It was standard tapas fare with a twist on nearly ever item. The chorizo was out of this world, and the scallops wrapped in bacon was superb! We also shared a sauteed shrimp dish that was mouthwateringly good. Great dinner and a nice wine list!
Nous étions 4 pour la fête des mères , nourriture excellente, certains tapas sont des incontournables, quelque peu bruyant mais c'est normal. Beau lieu et propre Ne recommanderais pas pour de gros groupes bien qu'il y ait une section à cet effet.. puisque que le plaisir est de partager les tapas 5 à 6 environ pour 2 pers. Et le double pour 4 Facile à séparer avec nombre pair Faites vous conseiller pour les vins, beaucoup d'importations privées J'y retournerai
All the food was great. Everything was piping hot and tastes were wonderful. Service was amicable and waiters were knowledgeable and very nice. The price was also very reasonable. Will go back soon. Need to make reservations fairly early in advance.
This spot is a great place to unwind after an busy day at the office or after a day of leisured he tapas are terrific, the space open and friendly and the ambiance energetic. The Fideos are delish and the Iberico ham authentic. Nothing shabby about the Iberico pork belly or the grilled octopus either. The rose wine from Spain is divine on a hot summer's night. We shall return.
La facture monte vite, mais ça vaut la pein car tout est vraiment savoureux et je n'ai jamais été déçue à chaque occasion où j'y suis allé. Je trippe personnellement sur leur tartare de boeuf, bien relevé avec cette touche craquante. Parfois les portions sont un peu petite pour accomoder un groupe de 6 personnes, mais le serveur offre la possibilité d'ajouter des bouchées au nombre que nous sommes, moyennant un ajustement du prix. Belle harmonie des saveurs espagnoles avec une touche moderne en lien avec les produits du marché et les talents de la chef Marie-Fleur. Beau choix de vins. Un incontournable à Montréal.
Meilleur Resto de tapas a Montréal! On a prit la caille piri piri, c'était délicieux à s'en lécher les doigts. Sur la recommandation du serveur on a commander le tapa du mois qui est un mini hamburger de crevettes de matanes, noix, jambon serrano, c'était tout simplement le meilleur burger gastro que j'ai mangé. Que des compliments à faire aux chefs de ce Resto!
Meals were good. A little mistake about the wine, the server didn't offer to taste it before service. For a restaurant of that price, it should have been a standard.
J aime Tapeo pour mes diners d affaire, le décor est très agréable et rechercher et l accueil toujours très chaleureux. La cuisine est recherché et inventive, nous avons mangé une entrée de tartare de bœuf absolument succulente et le plat de poisson qui a suivi l' était tout autant.
A nice restaurant with a neighborhood feel, although the talk at the next table was all about business. The food was delicious and the service attentive and efficient. Had a nice meal of Poultry Liver Mousse with Toasted Bread, Salmon Tartar, Beef Tartar, Grilled Octopus, Fried Squid, Bacon Wrapped Scallops, and Beef Short Ribs. A not too sweet Crema Catalana rounded out the meal to perfection. A memorable meal!
Food was delicious, brought me back to Spain :) Service was amazing!
I really like trying manu small plates and share them with friends. Great concept and delicious food. Hard to get a table.
We found this place by chance and it proved to be the best dinner we had on our trip to Quebec City and Montreal (and we had some very good meals). It is a little out of the way but was worth making our way out of the downtown area. The food was excellent. The staff engaging and knowledgeable. The place was full (not the spot for a quiet romantic dinner) and fun. All in all, a great find.
Excellente nourriture ,Tapas expérience et divers choix selon les goûts .Bonne carte de vin.
The food is great, try shrimps and cod balls. The ambiance is great, service is good, give you time to eat. Great place for teen kids.
Just back from a Vacation in Spain, and I can say that Tapeo not only serves authentic Spanish Tapas, but every single dish is delicious. You must try this restaurant - best enjoyed in small groups.
After hearing many people speak very highly about Tapeo, I finally went and understand what they are talking about. The food was very good, every dish had its own distinctive taste. Very generous portion sizes, not like some tapas places that hardly give you enough food to be able to taste what you are having. Will definitely be going back and recommending this restaurant to friends.
Accueil cordial. Service efficace et déluré; suggestions pour choix de tapas et vin très appréciées; plaisir de goûter ! Dans chaque plat, audace et équilibre.
I will return. Always a small group around 6. I will try all the specials recommended by the house. Friendly service and atmosphere. Reasonable price around $ 60.00 taxes + services included./ person.
This was truly one of the best tapas experiences I have had from Madrid to New York.Every one of the accolades you have received is well deserved. Thank you for a very memorable night.
The food here is always excellent and the suggestions of the waiters is always perfect. I don't usually have fried calamari here because it's a common dish that could be found anywhere else but our guests wanted them. I must say they were the tenderest best I've ever had! And don't miss out on the short ribs with the potatoes. The owner is a community leader evidenced by the fact that for the next two weeks they were giving 2$ from their most popular tapas to Action Agaunst Hunger, to fight malnutrition in the world. How nice is that?
Tapeo was the best tapas restaurant we encountered on a week long visit to Montreal! Well worth the trip - awesome lunch specials, great service, and a very welcoming atmosphere. I wish we had time to go back again, definitely recommend!
We went there as a part of the Taste MTL week and we were happily surprised. We had the fixed menu offered on this occasion, which consisted of three courses of two plates each. Although we were afraid of the "tapas formula" (well, mostly my boyfriend who expected having to drop by McDonald's afterwards), there was plenty of food. I had heard good stuff about this place and it appeared it was worth it. Everything was very tasty, from the beef tartare with a sesame touch, to the zingy garlic shrimps. We fell for the turbot a la braz, so yummy and subtle, and for the blood pudding served with the Spanish-style hot pot! It all ended perfectly with the churros, served with a delicious caramel sauce. The service was very courteous and attentive.
Not only is food great but the service is the best. The servers are so nice and chill. The one this time was a charmer and looked like James Dean. Good ideas for wine. Owners are such nice guys too.
We chose Tapeo on a whim when planning a Montreal trip on short notice. We were not disappointed. The menu selection was not overcrowded and the wine list was ample. Out server was fantastic and attentive even though the place was packed. He helped with wine and food knowledge and made our experience better than we expected. Highly recommend the cod with artichoke and truffle, the grilled octopus (best cooked octopus we've ever eaten) and the beef tartar. Don't waffle too much on your choices! We missed out on two tapas by ordering them too late in our meal. Dessert should also be a must!
This restaurant has been on our list to try for the last year and we are sure glad we finally went. Our server paced the meal very nicely and every single dish was excellent. The wine recommended, from the private import list, was perfect with our meal. We will definitely visit again and recommend to our friends.

Iowa Food & Family Project to partner with Subway restaurants
The Iowa Food & Family Project and Subway restaurants share many values, including the commitment to raising awareness about healthy food options, connecting people to their food and supporting Iowa farmers and local communities.
Now, they are partnering this year to take those shared values to a higher level.
"This is an exciting collaboration for the Iowa Food & Family Project as we demonstrate a direct connection between Iowa farmers and the food many people enjoy every day," said Aaron Putze, director of communications for the Iowa Soybean Association and coordinator of the Iowa Food & Family Project in a press release sent Monday.

text: Well, I will start by saying that I have a solid white stingray corvette with a metal flake in the clear coat. I recently noticed some "debris" or overspray on the car as it felt very VERY rough to the touch in some areas and smooth like glass in others. My friend informed me of Meguiars Clay Bar kit and how to do it. I bought the kit and holy ****! The car is like glass again and removed a ton of black debris. The car is always garage kept and cleaned weekly, so I'm not sure where this junk came from? Nontheless, I'm ready to finish her up and have a few products on hand...just not sure what order to apply. I have the Meguiars Scatch X, the NXT Wax and Meguiars Show Glaze. Not to mention, I have the wax that came with the clay bar kit(came with two clay bars in a box, the lubrication spray a small bottle of wax(not sure what it was called) and a microfiber towel. At this point, I'm looking for the best shine...I'm guessing the glaze and then the NXT? Thanks for all the help!

What Explains High Unemployment? The Aggregate Demand ChannelAtif R. MianPrinceton University - Department of Economics; Princeton University - Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs; NBER Amir SufiUniversity of Chicago - Booth School of Business; NBER July 31, 2012 Chicago Booth Research Paper No. 13-43 Fama-Miller Working Paper Abstract: A drop in aggregate demand driven by shocks to household balance sheets is responsible for a large fraction of the decline in U.S. employment from 2007 to 2009. The aggregate demand hypothesis for employment losses makes the joint prediction that job losses in the non-tradable sector will be higher in high leverage U.S. counties that were most severely impacted by the balance sheet shock, while losses in the tradable sector will be distributed uniformly across all counties. We find exactly this pattern from 2007 to 2009. Alternative hypotheses for job losses based on business uncertainty or structural unemployment related to construction do not explain our results. Using the relation between non-tradable sector job losses and demand shocks and assuming Cobb-Douglas preferences over tradable and non-tradable goods, we quantify the effect of aggregate demand channel on total employment. Our estimates suggest that the decline in aggregate demand driven by household balance sheet shocks accounts for almost 4 million of the lost jobs from 2007 to 2009, or 65% of the lost jobs in our data.

(AP) -- Now this is a welcomed change. Experts predict gas prices will fall as Memorial Day approaches, instead of rising just as summer vacations begin.
Those experts had expected a national average of more than $3 per gallon by Memorial Day. Now they say prices have likely peaked at just below that price.
Motorists can thank rising supplies and concerns about the global economy that have helped send wholesale gasoline prices plummeting. It will take several weeks for the full effect to hit the pumps.
One industry analyst says the national average could fall this summer to below last summer's peak of around $2.70 a gallon.

IBM offers a portfolio of information security solutions based on its innovative self-encrypting disk and tape drives. These drives are designed to encrypt data automatically as it enters the drive to be stored, and then automatically decrypt it as it moves out of the drive. The embedded encryption engine helps to ensure that there is no performance degradation compared to the non-encrypting drives. This drive-level encryption approach reduces the risk that information could be compromised when storage media are physically removed from the storage systems.
