Everyone loses some hair every day. Losing up to 100 hairs a day is normal.
But if hair loss runs in your family, you could lose a lot more hair. With this kind of hair loss, you may end up with bald spots if you are a man. If you are a woman, you may find that the hair on the top of your head is slowly thinning. About half of all people have this type of hair loss by around age 50.
Other factors, such as diseases and medicines, also can cause you to lose more hair than normal.
Although hair loss is fairly common, it can be a tough thing to live with, especially when it changes how you look. But there are ways you can treat your hair loss.
Common causes of hair loss include:
Your symptoms will depend on what kind of hair loss you have.
If your hair is thinning, it happens slowly over time, so you may not notice the hairs falling out. If your hair is shedding, then clumps of hair fall out. You may lose hair all over your scalp, which is called general hair loss. Or you may lose hair only in one area, which is called focal hair loss.
With inherited hair loss, men usually get bald spots around the forehead or on the top of the head, while women have some thinning all over the scalp, but mostly on the top of the head.
Since your hair has a lot to do with your appearance, losing it may cause you to have lower self-esteem if you don't like how you look. This is especially true in women and teens.
Your doctor will ask you some questions, like how much hair you're losing, when it started, and whether your parents have hair loss. He or she will look closely at your scalp and hair loss pattern and may gently pull out a few hairs for tests.
If it's not clear what's causing you to lose your hair, your doctor may do a blood test or look at a sample of your hair or scalp with a microscope.
How you choose to treat your hair loss depends on the cause. It also depends on your feelings. You may decide that you need treatment, or you may not be worried about thinning hair or baldness. The choice is up to you.
Hair loss that runs in the family can be treated with medicines or with surgery, such as hair transplant surgery. Some people choose to wear hairpieces, like wigs or toupees (say "too-PAYZ"). Finding different ways of styling your hair, like dyeing or combing, also can help. If hair loss is caused by something you can control, like stress or medicines, you can treat it by getting rid of the cause.
When you are deciding about treatment, think about these questions:
When your hair loss is inherited, your hair won't grow back naturally. Treatment can help some hair grow back and prevent more from falling out, but you probably won't get all your hair back. And treatment doesn't work for everyone.
When medicines, stress, or hair damage cause you to lose your hair, it often will grow back after you take away the cause. If this doesn't help, you may need other treatment.
If you're unhappy with how hair loss makes you look, treatment may help you feel better. It's natural to want to like the way you look.
But keep in mind that treatment, especially medicines and surgery, can have some side effects and risks. Be sure to discuss your decision with your doctor.

Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Excessive hair loss (more than 100 hairs a day) can be caused by inherited factors, disease, stress, medicines, injury, aging, or hair care.
The most common cause of hair loss is genetics—you inherit the tendency to lose hair from either or both of your parents. This is called male-pattern hair loss or female-pattern hair loss. The medical term for this type of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia.
In this type of hair loss, your genes affect how your hair grows. They trigger a sensitivity to a class of hormones called androgens, including testosterone, which causes hair follicles (which hair grows from) to shrink. Shrinking follicles produce thinner hair and eventually none at all. Men generally develop bald spots on the forehead area or on the top of the head, while women often have thinning of the hair on the top of the head. About half of all people have inherited hair loss by about 50 years of age.
Other causes of hair loss include:
Hair loss can be categorized by types. Different types of hair loss may have different causes. For example, one type of hair loss known as telogen effluvium is caused by stress and side effects of medicines. Another hair loss type, traction alopecia, is caused by hair care.
Hair loss can occur as thinning, in which you may not notice hair falling out, or as shedding, in which clumps of hair fall out.
In the most common type of hair loss, inherited hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), men tend to lose hair on the front hairline and forehead and on top of the head. Eventually, only hair around the ears, the sides, and the back of the head remains. Women with this condition typically have gradual thinning throughout the scalp, but mostly on the top of the head.
Other causes of hair loss may also show distinct patterns. For example, conditions such as trichotillomania (compulsively pulling at the hair) or alopecia areata (in which the immune system attacks hair follicles) result in obvious patches of hair loss, while stress and some medicines result in clumps of hair falling out.
Because hair is an important part of appearance, hair loss can also result in loss of self-esteem and feeling unattractive, especially in women and teens.
What happens in hair loss depends on its cause.
Inherited hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is also called male-pattern hair loss or female-pattern hair loss. About half the population have some hair loss by about 50 years of age. Men may start losing hair between the ages of 15 and 25, and women are more likely to start losing hair between the ages of 25 and 30, or in some cases, after menopause.1
Men tend to lose hair on the front hairline and temples and on top of the head. Eventually, they may go completely bald.
Women generally lose less hair than men, but they have a similar pattern of hair loss. Women may have slight, moderate, or even severe hair loss, but they don't usually lose all their hair.
For both men and women, inherited hair loss must be treated early for hair to regrow.
Alopecia areata is hair loss caused when the immune system attacks hair follicles, where hair growth begins. It usually starts with one or more small, round, smooth bald patches on the scalp and can progress to total scalp hair loss or complete body hair loss. It often begins in childhood. The hair usually grows back within 1 year. But hair loss in alopecia areata often comes and goes—the hair will grow back over several months in one area but will fall out in another area.
Hair loss also may be caused by stress, disease, medicines or medical treatments. In these cases, clumps of hair may fall out. But after the cause is stopped, the hair usually grows back, although sometimes treatment may be needed.
Treatment to regrow hair does not work for everyone. If your hair loss is inherited, treatment may not permanently restore your hair. If your hair loss is caused by medicine, stress, or damage, hair often grows back after the cause is removed, although sometimes you will need treatment.
For both men and women, hair thinning and baldness increase the risk of sunburn and skin cancer on the scalp. When in the sun, it is important to wear a hat or use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more to prevent sun damage to the scalp.
Factors that increase the risk of hair loss include:
Although most people with hair loss caused by alopecia areata regrow their hair, certain people are at greater risk for their hair not growing back. If you have a family history of the condition, have the condition at a young age, have an autoimmune disease, are prone to allergies (atopy), have extensive hair loss, or have abnormal color, shape, texture, or thickness of the fingernails or toenails, you are more likely to have permanent hair loss.
Call your doctor if:
Watchful waiting is a period of time during which you and your doctor observe your symptoms or condition without using medical treatment. Watchful waiting may be appropriate if your hair loss is gradual and is similar to the pattern of hair loss seen in your parents or brothers or sisters. But if your gradual hair loss bothers you, your doctor may be able to slow or reverse it. If clumps of hair fall out, your hair loss may be caused by a disease, and it is important to contact your doctor.
Hair loss caused by alopecia areata often reverses on its own. Watchful waiting is an option after you have been diagnosed with this condition.
Health professionals who can give you advice and treatment on hair loss include:
Hair transplant surgery is usually done by:
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
Hair loss is diagnosed through a medical history and physical examination. Your doctor will ask you questions about your hair loss, look at the pattern of your hair loss, and examine your scalp. He or she may also tug gently on a few hairs or pull some out.
The most common cause of hair loss—inherited hair loss—is easily recognized. Men tend to lose hair from the forehead area and top of the head with normal amounts of hair on other areas of the scalp. Women tend to keep their front hairline, but have thinning of the hair on the top of the head.
To determine the cause of your hair loss, your doctor may ask you about:
If the reason for your hair loss is not clear, your doctor may do tests to check for a disease that may be causing your hair loss. Tests include:
Hair loss in women is more difficult to diagnose than it is in men because the pattern of hair loss is not as noticeable as it is in men. In women with mild to moderate hair thinning who are otherwise healthy (with normal menstrual and fertility history), testing to diagnose hair loss usually is not done. But in women who have irregular menstrual cycles, continued episodes of acne, or too much body hair (hirsutism), testing for a class of hormones called androgens, including testosterone, is sometimes done.
Some people choose to treat hair loss with medicines or surgery, such as hair transplant surgery. Others choose to wear hairpieces (wigs or toupees) or use different methods of hair styling (dyeing or combing). The approach you use depends on the cause of your hair loss. Some people feel they need treatment, while others are not as concerned about thinning hair or baldness.
If a disease, medicine, or stress is the cause, then treating the disease, changing medicines, or eliminating or learning to manage the stress may stop the hair loss.
Treatment for hair loss may help you feel better about how you look, although the trade-off might be that it affects your health. Some medicines may have harmful side effects, and surgery may carry certain risks.
Treatment for inherited hair loss aims to prevent hair loss, promote hair growth, and cover bald areas of the scalp. But treatment is not successful for everyone, and you should not expect to regrow a full head of hair.
Medicines include:
Surgery includes:
Cosmetic approaches to hair loss include:
Hair loss can be caused by diseases, medicines or medical treatments, recent surgery, high fevers, emotional stress, lack of protein or iron, and hair care, such as using dyes. Often, treating the cause stops the hair loss, and hair grows back. In some cases, other treatment is needed.
Hair loss caused by cancer treatment requires special care: use mild shampoos and do not use a hair dryer.
Alopecia areata occurs when the immune system attacks hair follicles, where hair growth begins. Because hair usually grows back within a year, you may decide not to have treatment. Understanding the come-and-go nature of hair loss with this condition can help you make the best treatment decision. Children and teens may need counseling to help them adjust to the hair loss.
Medicine used for alopecia areata includes:3
How successful your treatment is depends on your expectations and the cause of hair loss. Treatment for hair loss caused by an illness, medicine, or damage to the hair usually is more successful than treatment for inherited hair loss.
Considerations about treatments for inherited hair loss include:
Women with inherited hair loss who wish to take birth control pills should use a pill type that does not add to hair loss, such as a norgestimate or desogestrel.4
Hair loss that is caused by medicines, stress, lack of protein or iron, or hair care may be prevented. Avoiding certain medicines, reducing stress, getting adequate protein and iron in your diet, and using hairstyles that don't damage your hair may reduce or prevent hair loss.
Inherited hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) cannot be prevented.
Home treatment for hair loss includes hair care and hairstyling techniques that may help you cover thinning or bald spots on the scalp. This may be easier for women because inherited hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) causes a general thinning that is usually not as severe as it is in men. Hair sprays, dyes, and perms can help make the hair appear fuller.
In women with inherited hair loss, hair care and the occasional use of grooming products, hair sprays, hair color, teasing, permanents, or frequent washing won't increase hair loss. But if your hair loss is caused by hair care, then perms and dyes may contribute to more hair loss.
For both men and women, hair thinning and baldness increase the risk of sunburn and skin cancer on the scalp. When in the sun, wear a hat or use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more to prevent sun damage to the scalp.
Medicines for hair loss can slow thinning of hair and increase coverage of the scalp by growing new hair and enlarging existing hairs. But they need to be taken continuously. If the medicines are stopped, any hair that has grown in will gradually be lost, and within 6 to 12 months your scalp will most likely appear the same as before treatment.
Medicines often used to treat inherited hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) include:
Medicines used to treat alopecia areata, which is caused when the immune system attacks hair follicles, include:3
If you are taking medicine for inherited hair loss, do not expect to regrow a full head of hair. Hair coverage is improved on the top of the head, but not on the forehead area. But when you stop taking these medicines, hair loss begins again.
Finasteride is not approved for women by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Women who are or may become pregnant should not take or handle crushed or broken tablets, because finasteride can cause birth defects.
Surgery to cover bald areas of the scalp may be used to treat hair loss. If successful, surgery may be a permanent treatment for hair loss.
The most common types of surgery to treat hair loss include:
Surgery may be a more permanent solution than medicines to treat hair loss, but it is expensive, it involves surgical risks, and there is a chance that not all hair follicles will remain healthy.
Other treatment for hair loss includes:

JEFF TIEDEMAN: Bologna or sausage?
Call it what you like, this meat is one of the most versatile around.
Do you know what the difference is between sausage and bologna?
I'd never thought about it until a couple of years ago, when three of us from the Herald were invited to help judge the Harvey Avenue Saloon's Annual Bologna Cook-Off in Minto, N.D.
I came away from the fun-filled event quite content (trying dozens of samples will do that to a person) but a little confused about what distinguishes one from the other.
I would have called what we were eating sausage, since it's similar to what some of us make each winter (we're doing ours this Sunday) with the elk and venison that we've harvested in the fall. But the locals who entered the contest insist what they make is bologna.
Actually, we both are right. According to Wikipedia and other online dictionaries and encyclopedias, "bologna sausage is an American sausage derived from and somewhat similar to the Italian mortadella (a finely hashed/ground pork sausage containing cubes of lard that originated in the Italian city of Bologna)." Wiki goes on to say, "it is commonly called baloney/boloney or more formally, bologna. … U.S. government regulations require American bologna to be finely ground and without visible pieces of lard. Bologna can alternatively be made out of chicken, turkey, beef, pork, or venison."
I'll get a chance to share this info and debate the topic Friday with the good folks of Minto and the surrounding area at "A Quarter Century of Bologna: The 25th Annual Bologna Cook-Off" in the Walsh County town's community center.
The contest — a fundraiser for local charities — is being held in the center instead of the bar because it's the event's silver anniversary. The cook-off averages 92 entries, but organizer Chris Misialek thinks there are going to be more than 100 for this edition. (Last year's contest was won by Delinda Long of Minto. The Oslo Hog Farm holds the record with six wins.)
The contest will be the highlight of a daylong celebration, which starts at 8:30 a.m., when Joel Heitkamp of KFGO Radio (790 on the AM dial) will broadcast his morning show live from the center. A lunch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. will feature, among other things, Polish sausage stew, sauerkraut and sausage and scalloped potatoes (freewill offering).
Judging and sampling for the contest will begin at 7 p.m., and around the outer perimeter of the event, there will be food and alcohol venues, including stands featuring Nicki's Salsa (a local enterprise), Country Smokehouse meats from Grafton, N.D., Mancave products and bean bag games sponsored by Budweiser.
If that isn't enough, there will be the humorous cracker-chewing, whistle-blowing contest at 9 p.m., and Kenny and Classics will play music from 8 p.m. to midnight. (Contest prizes will be awarded at about 10 p.m.)
"We are going to do it up right for a quarter century of bologna," Misialek said.
Regardless of what you call it, I've found sausage or bologna to be one of the most versatile meats around. We like to grill our sausage as well as boil it, put it in several varieties of soup as well as in casseroles such as the one featured (Penne with Smoked Bologna) among today's recipes.
That's no baloney!

GLENS FALLS - A dozen people have been left homeless after an early morning fire causes substantial damage to an apartment building.
One woman says she, and several others, jumped out of a second story window to escape the flames.
Fire fighters remained on the scene, ripping apart pieces of the roof, and hitting the building with more water.
The flames spread quickly around five Friday morning.
The building on Shermantown Road has three full apartments, and six rooms for rent on the top floor.
About a dozen people lived here.
The fire started in a first floor apartment in the back of the building.
The damage is substantial; it's not safe for residents to return.
The building has been damaged by fire before

Hey guys,
I am new to the forums and have read quite insightful posts regarding to the gun license issue.
My father has a llama pistol (Mumbai license) and a Kanpur OF .32 calibre revolver(All India Permit). i have been using the Indian air rifles myself for casual plinking in my native place as well as within the confines of my building terrace. However, i wish to apply for a gun license now. I have following queries,
1. Can i apply for transfer of my fathers Mumbai license, my father is close to 58 and i am 26. If yes, then will this method have better chance of success as compared to a fresh application? will my fathers existing license be jeopardized in any way even in case of rejection noob q but just want to be safe )
2. Going by the latest reports, application for a fresh license for safety purpose would be rejected in all likelihood (i dont have any safety threat either, lol) so what chance do you think would appealing against the order in court have?
4. Also, after obtaining a membership in rifle association ( i saw one called Lakshya over here), can i apply for a .22 pistol/revolver license? what chance would it have of success?
Your inputs are appreciated.

The Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) announced on Wednesday, February 29, its 2012 All-IIAC Women's Basketball Teams, and Buena Vista was represented with senior Jessica Christensen landing a spot on the league's Second Team
Christensen, who was also a Second Team selection as a junior a year ago, finished her final collegiate campaign leading the team in scoring (13.6ppg) and rebounding (8.4rpg), while sitting seventh and second among the conference leaders, respectively. She scored in double figures in all but five of the games this season and notched her only double-double of the year against Central College on January 28. She hauled in at least six rebounds in all but two games.
Christensen, who is one of six repeat all-conference performers this season, also ranked in the top-10 in the conference in three-point field goal percentage (37.3 percent) and was fourth in total makes (50). Also, defensively, she tied for third in steals per game (2.24).
Coe College's Kayla Waskow was voted as the IIAC MVP this season, while Wartburg College's Leslie Wilson was tabbed as the Defensive Player of the Year. Simpson College's Brian Niemuth was tabbed as the IIAC Coach of the Year.

Is it bad for you?
it can lower power output so do it after a workout. other then that its not bad at all. its just another tool in your toolbox.
you can call me "ozzie" for short.
Agreed with above statement. In addition, full Rom resistance training can be an effective method to enhance active range flexibility itself. I also don't think there have been too many studies showing a strong correlation between ss and reduced injury rates
I bet you can't find studies to back up either of these points.
Repeating something over and over doesn't make it correct.Studies published in both the British Medical Journal(1999) and the Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine(2002)have found that static stretching has NO statistically significant effect on reducing muscle soreness or injuries.
A 2008 study of over 1,000 soldiers had half stretch and half not stretch found no difference in the frequency of injuries.

Yes, chronic static stretching can reduce the risk of injuries. A static stretching routine prescribed to help correct flexibility deficiencies or imbalances over time will improve mobility and movement, and reduce the risk of injury. Dynamic stretching is good as an acute way to reduce injury risk, as it both increases muscle temperature/blood flow and works to activate the muscles.

Warm up with dynamic stretching and mobility drills.
Static stretching
You can even work needed static stretching into the workout. For example, I work hip flexor stretches into my lower body workouts. I'll also put hip opening movements into my upper body workouts, or both as part of a core and fixator circuit at the end.
To clarify I wasn't trying to say that static stretching had no positive uses or applications. Merely that the idea that static stretching reduces injuries or lessens DOMS isn't backed up by any scientific research which still no one in this thread has challenged. I'm not against static stretching by any means (though I think it's misused pretty much all the time), but the if the idea is you're decreasing your risk of injury by bending over and trying to touch your toes you're mistaken.

I dont really have anything negative to say about our experience! It could not have been more perfect. The ambience was modern italian, very welcoming and relaxing. View of the bay from sunset to dark with city lights. Food cooked to perfection with flavors melding together for complete satisfaction. Even though the wine list was notable, we only purchased a bottle of french champagne and brought two bottles of our own wine. The staff was excellent with minimal interruption of our social interaction. Need I say more!
When redecorated Armani's lost a bit of it's elegance. Now both Oystercatchers and Armani's have very low chairs and it doesn't feel the same. Not every place needs to be so "ZEN" Also the piano is way too loud. You can not carry on a conversation. Maybe put the piano behind the reception desk and add speakers in the restaurant. We had to leave the bar seating area as we could not hear each other. Food was great, but the waiter mixed up the order. Veal Filleto was order, beef filet was served. - Easy mistake, but sad as we both planned to have veal
Overall, the dining experience was perfect. We requested a table by the Window to watch the sunset, and the staff were very accomodating. Dinner was fantastic! I ordered veal pamesan with linguini (which was not even on the menu), and it was awesome! My wife ordered a Ribeye steak, which was perfectly cooked. The only down side would be that they did not have a vegetable on her plate, just a big piece of meat on top of a garbanzo bean puree. The only suggestion I would have would be to add a side of fresh vegetables to the plate. Other than that, the view was beautiful, the atmosphere was Romatic, and the service was spot on! We were celebrating my wife's birthday, and the staff even brought out a complimentary desert with a candle...
Live piano music overlooking the bay from the top of the Hyatt at sunset combined with great food and service is a combination that can't be beat. This is one of my favorite places to eat on a special date. It's pricey and there's not very many affordable wine options on the menu. But if there's ever a place that makes splurging worth it, it would be Armani's.
The food was outstanding; great taste and plenty of it although the price is quite hefty too. A glass of wine for $15 (on the cheaper end) could have bought the whole bottle in a wine store. $13 for a one-shot Glenlivet is pretty pricey too. But the atmosphere was great and the food (one snapper filet and one rib eye) were excellent as was the polenta. Service was excellent.
From the moment we walked in, the whole experience was delightful. We were seated and served quickly. As soon as we were done with one course they were ready with the next. The Cannelloni was outstanding. The pasta was delicious. The view overlooking the bay is quite breath-taking when the sun is setting. Well done.
It's a great place to take ur lady good for a relationship well worth it
The Antipasti was excellent and the veal amongst the best I have had in Tampa – what made the dinner exceptional was the personalized services that I have rarely experiences. Everyone we dealt with, especially the chef was attentive to our specific needs and delivered beyond expectation – excellent, personalized service with great food and a good atmosphere.
It is our family tradition to celebrate birthdays at Armani's every year for my wife. This time was no exception. Although we didn't request a window view table for our celebration, the hostess found us a table on the city side but still with a view of the bay. We loaded up the antipasto bar that had my wife's favorite, grilled octopus. The entrees were excellent and the dessert (limoncello cheesecake, her favorite) was wonderful. We dine there not only for special occasions but just because the staff makes you feel as if every night is a celebration.
We celebrated our Anniversary there and it was great.......Food and Service were perfect.....nice piano music in the background and a table with a view over the bay and watching a nice sunset.
Enjoyable evening, food really good. Great vibe and atmosphere. Party of 8 had to sit at 2 fours. Wait staff could have been more cheerful/ accommodating. $17 dollars for house wine with small pour obscene!
We enjoyed cocktails in the lounge before being seated for dinner. The antipasta chef selection was very good. I had the chef's special which consisted of tuna and a small lobster tail. The tuna was very good but the lobster was average. My husband enjoyed the gilled veal tenderloin with lobster and crab gratin. Beautiful view and great service.
Try the veal scaloppine! Very romantic place. Rooftop out door patio with fire table. Spectacular views of Tampa from every angle.
Fabulous views, especially at sunset over the bay. Pianist, great cocktails, surprising antipasti bar, romantic ambiance, service. We could not have asked for a more perfect meal & dining experience . Definite go back to place.
Armani's is the perfect spot for a romantic evening at a 5 star quality restaurant. The view of the bay is spectacular at sunset. The service and food were exceptional. You will need to plan on up to 2 hours for the whole experience and approximately $100 per person.
Had a wonderful time at Armani's after not going there for years. Renovated patio area is beautiful!!! Food was really good - not a lot of choices for vegetarians for entrees if that is your thing. Dessert was amazing too! Will definitely go back.
They made my birthday a wonderful experiences. I just love the place. I would recommend to anyone. Thank you Armani's for making my birthday a very special evening.
A Specisl Dinner that makes you feel in top of the world (literally).
Overall pretty good food, crowd a little stiff, interior classy but a little too boring white for my taste, outdoor chill area with fire pit is awesome, beautiful view
Armani's has been my standing "event" restaurant for 20 years. This visit was as good as I can recall. Excellent service staff, food is always innovative and superbly executed. I have never felt rushed and would highly recommend a visit. Make any evening an event!
Service, atmosphere were great but main entree was not great. The seafood was not up to par.
I changed my order from the filet to veal at the waiter's suggestion, but found the veal to be unremarkable. Her snapper was great, however. Service was just average. My water went unfilled. The view and ambiance is spectacular, so we will probably go again someday, but if the food and service was better, we would frequent the place
We ate here for my Birthday! Food, quality, the view & service Simply Amazing! Great restaurant for a Romantic dinner with a view from the top!
Armani's is the best restaurant in Tampa, there is no doubt about that! The food is always excellent, the views are amazing, the atmosphere is great, everything is just perfect!! We have dined at this restaurant so many times, and it has always been an amazing experience! If you are looking for a special place to dine in Tampa, this is the place!
My wife and I went there for our anniversary. The food was great. Anti pasta bar was a big hit with my wife. The view was awesome. Our reservation was right at sunset.
Another nice experience. Pricey but worth it on special occasions. This time was a birthday.
We celebrated a milestone at Armani's, and it was a wonderful evening. The service is very professional & unobtrusive, We loved the anitpasto bar. And the view cannot be beat.
The View and setting is wonderful. The service was outstanding. The appetizers were excellent. Even found a reasonable priced wine. The main course however was expensive and not good. Won't go back for that reason.
great food, service and location. Top dining on top of Tampa Bay
We always go to Armani's for special occasion and this time they did not disappoint. The food is always amazing. The service always impeccable. They ended our meal with a special dessert for my husband. Please try Armani's if you have not already.
It's been some time since my last evening at Armani's, but I was reminded very quickly of all the reasons why I've always loved dining there. The view is spectacular, service is outstanding, and the food never disappoints! This occasion was a reunion with an old friend instead of a romantic night out, but this is where Armani's really excels.
Armani's never disappoints. The food was excellent, and the service was exceptional. I always recommend Armani's for special occasions such as anniversaries, birthdays or the like. You will never be disappointed.
My wife and I first visited Armani's 22 years ago. It was one of our first dates. Recently, we rode bikes past the Hyatt and thought how nice it would be go again. So, I made reservations. We absolutely loved our dinner. The "Armani experience" is fantastic.
I really want to love Armani's, how could you not....beautiful ambience, fantastic view, just an average pianist but still live piano music, however food, well another matter. Filets are tasteless, anemic in a appearance, over cooked and "warm", my husband loves the seafood over linguine and the cannoli---he is very picky and both are "the BEST" in his opinion. My cappuccino was not up to standards, lacked boldness of espresso, very blah. My husband received his dessert with "happy anniversary", we had a good laugh as it was his birthday. Chef Robert erred on my food allergies, asked for vanilla gelato and was told vanilla extract had alcohol, my allergy is wine and beer which is spelled out clearly. .
This was not just a dinner. This was a Dining experience. Fantastic!!!
I took 2 out of town guests for dinner. When I asked where they wanted to go for dinner in Tampa, Bern's was their answer. We went to Armani's
Excellent service by a very accomodating and professional staff. Great views of both the bay and city. Heartily recommended for special occasions.
Went to Armani's for our anniversary and it was fabulous. We went a little early to make sure we caught the sunset and we were not disappointed. We were seated in one of the best tables in the house and held hands while the sun went down (not bad for 26 years). We then dined exquisitely and were delighted to find that my wife's favorite wine was on the wine list with a reasonable markup.
Excellent server whom we had that's been with them for 20 years. Wine was excellent, and food stood out (we both had pasta though) and had a small "happy anniversary" stenciled out with a lemon cheesecake. Patio outdoors was the best with views of the Clearwater area and the skyline of tampa with the airport in front of it. Highly recommended for special occasion but you pay for the price in Everything.
We've been to Armani's a few times over the years. This was by far a lovely evening and a great place to celebrate our wedding anniversary and also raise a toast to our new business. The decor and background music were perfect. The waiter and assistants were non-intrusive yet very helpful and the food was absolutely to die for. We shared an Argyle Pinot Noir with the extensive Chef's prepared salad of seafood, cheeses and vegetables. I had the special triple fin dish and my wife had the Vitello Scallopini. This was followed by a specially prepared chocolate souffle for my lady and I had the Tiramisou that literally melted in my mouth. They make a great capucinno too. It was an all around great evening.
My wife and I Celebrated our 5th anniversary at Armanis and it was awesome. From the hostess through the end of our dining experience everything was top notch. Especially our server Jerry. He was very friendly and helpful. It is a little pricey but worth it for a special occassion. And the portions are very generous. You wont go home hungry. Thats for sure. Thank you Armanis for making it a great anniversary celebration!
I took my wife on a date night and we had a great time. The food was amazing and the views were great too. We had a drink at the bar before going to our table - the bartender was very good. The hostesses were extremely nice. The antipasto bar was a very nice touch and delicious. Overall, the service was very good but we finished our dessert and waited for about 10 minutes before we could find our waiter to ask for the check.
Had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary. The views were spectacular. The food was delicious and you get generous portions. The staff was great. The ambiance and experience was perfect for a romantic night out. Will def go back for another special occasion.
Armani's has a fabulous antipasti bar where you can select from 25+ items. The plate price is steep, but you can get as much as you want, so it evens out. They are also noted for their veal and my husband said the veal with Foie GRAS was one of the best dishes he's had in a long time -he rarely compliments. They should do more with their wine list, get a lot more selections and better price ranges. Mediocre wines were priced pretty high as we're the by the glass prices. However, the view is unbeatable, the support staff was very attentive (our waiter could have been a bit more attentive).
Armanis is our restuarant of choice for special occasions. The quality of the food and the highest level of service is what we have always expeierienced in the past, however this time the service was marginal at best. Sloppy serving technique, plates not being cleared, empty water glasses etc. Add to that a very loud table next to us that seemed to have all the attention of our wait staff. I had to flag down our server multiple times just for them to do their job. The food was great as always and we will be back however if this had been our first time dinning there it would have been our last.
Great service and ambience, beautiful place. We were somewhat disappointed with the food. Meat (pork) was fatty and everything had way too much salt.
The atmosphere was perfect for our 36th Wedding Anniversary. Of course, the dinner was delicious!
We have been to Armani's several times and have never been disappointed. The antipasto choices are outstanding.
We had a wonderful time at Armanis. First, the view from the top floor of the Grand Hyatt at night is very nice looking back across the bay and back to the lights of Tampa. The restaurant is well laid out with good spacing so you are not sharing dinner with your neighbor. The food was excellent. The chef's Antipasti selection was amazing, and the calamari appetizer was very tasty and more than we could eat. We enjoyed Carbonara and several veal dishes that were outstanding. The service staff was very attentive and friendly from the hostess to the piano bar staff to the wait staff. Prices are high, but that should be expected at one of Tampa's finest elegant dining choices.

September 24, 2009 - stop doing it!
Recently I interviewed an author (Kate Lawrence, author of "The Practical Peacemaker") who made a beguiling argument: the path to peace begins with a simplified life.
September 17, 2009 - Pick 3, Spend 50
Recently, former DCL manager Peg Hooper emailed me a link to a fascinating campaign. It's called the 3/50 project (www.the350project.net) -- and it makes so much sense it's a wonder nobody thought of it before.
The tagline of the project is "saving the bricks and mortars our nation is built on." The whole idea is this (pulled from the project home page):
"What three independently owned businesses would you miss if they disappeared? Stop in. Say hello. Pick up something that brings a smile. Your purchases are what keeps those businesses around.

Something magical happens to children. They grow from extraordinarily self-centered creatures (think of the toddler whose vocabulary centers around the words "no!" and "mine!") to members of a family, capable of both compassion and acts of genuine altruism.
I've been thinking about that after reading an article in Forbes Magazines called "America's 25 Best Places to Live," by Peter Kilborn. You can find it online at www.forbes.com/2009/07/07/relocate-relocation-cities-lifestyle-real-estate-affordable-moving_print.html. It's worth a read.
Here's the good news: of the top 25 places in the United States to relocate (usually in pursuit of a climb up the corporate ladder), three of them are in Douglas County. Coming in at number 4 is Parker. Number 5 is Castle Rock. Number 20 is Highlands Ranch.

Tommy Smith agonizes over Mike Munchak's future
Typically, NFL owners don't say anything about a coach's employment status until it changes, either via a contract extension or a termination.
Tommy Smith, who has assumed control of the Titans after the passing of his father-in-law, Bud Adams, is publicly talking about the decision Smith soon must make about coach Mike Munchak.
"It's awful," Smith tells Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean. "I have known Mike for 30 years, and it's hard to find someone of higher character, with greater integrity than Mike Munchak. He is a very intelligent guy and a good man. We would like things to work out for Mike in that capacity."
Smith seems to be willing to be less impulsive when it comes to the head coach than Smith's predecessor may have been.
"Bud in the past would fire people at the drop of a hat," Smith said. "I think sometimes you need to keep the gun in the holster. . . . I think we need to sit here and look at these three weeks, and let's play hard. Let's see if we can win some games. When we sit down with Mike at the end of the season I expect Mike to come in and tell me why he thinks we're in the position we are, what he thinks needs to be done for us to improve.
"This thing didn't fall apart overnight, and it's not going to be put together overnight either. But we certainly had higher expectations than what we are seeing right now, across the board, I can assure you of that. Now let's see if we can win three in a row."
Smith praised Munchak, who has been employed by the franchise for more than three decades, for keeping his team focused and motivated.
"If there is anything that is a bright light, I believe the players are still playing hard for Mike, and I think that is a testimony to his character," Smith said. "A lot of these other teams are not. We just need to finish out the season the best we can and then we'll evaluate and see where things stand."
At a time when few employees stay in the same place 30 months, here's hoping that the man who has been with the Titans and Oilers for more than 30 years gets some more time to turn around a team that hasn't had a true franchise quarterback since Steve McNair.
Welker still not ruled out for Thursday night
Broncos receiver Wes Welker sustained a concussion on Sunday night, his second in two games. With the team's next game coming up on Thursday night against the Chargers, few believe he'll play.
While Welker may not play, he hasn't been ruled out, yet.
"Our big concern is just his health and it's in the hands of the medical people," coach John Fox said Tuesday, via quotes distributed by the team. "If he's available we'll use him. If not, he'll be out."
Fox doesn't believe the short week necessarily requires the Broncos to shut him down.
"I'm not super educated on it but I think their protocol doesn't take into effect the day of the game or how much time," Fox said. "It's just whether they clear him and he passed the necessary test or not."
Fox is right, but it takes time for a brain injury to heal. When a player has two of them only three weeks apart, it's hard to imagine the player returning after only three days off.
Still, Welker has not yet been cleared to practice. It's hard to envision Welker being cleared to play in only two more days.
Shanahan keeping quarterback decision secret, for now
On Monday, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said he'd let the media know "in the next couple of days" whether quarterback Robert Griffin III will remain the starter for the rest of the season.
As of Tuesday night, Shanahan has said nothing. To anyone.
Jeff Darlington of NFL Network reports that, as of 6:30 p.m. ET, Shanahan has not informed Griffin about his status for Sunday at Atlanta.
A league source confirms to PFT that the Redskins are holding the info close to the vest for now.
They can't do it much longer. Even if Shanahan decides to renege on his promise to reveal the decision "in the next couple of days," word will emerge after practice on Wednesday, when Griffin or Kirk Cousins take the first-team reps.
Now that owner Daniel Snyder reportedly has called Shanahan's bluff, the head coach has to decide whether he'll go through with his potential plan, which would open Shanahan up to even more criticism regarding what appears to be a blatant effort to get fired and get paid for 2014.
And while on the surface Snyder can pretend he doesn't care if Griffin doesn't play in three meaningless games, a strong showing by Cousins down the stretch could create an unwanted quarterback controversy among fans who possibly have begun the process of falling out of love with RGIII.
Saban talking to Alabama about a new contract
At a time when Redskins owner Daniel Snyder may be thinking about the next high-profile coach he'll overpay to underachieve, Nick Saban would like to remind Snyder and the rest of us that Saban is still coaching.
Gil Brandt of NFL.com tweets that he's been told by a source that Saban currently is in negotiations with Alabama regarding a contract extension that would pay him in the range of $7 million per year.
Coincidentally (or not), current Redskins coach Mike Shanahan currently earns $7 million per year.
The more likely explanation for this latest development is that word of the potential extension was leaked by Saban or someone close to Saban to a member of the media with close ties to the University of Texas as a message to the Longhorns, who are believed to be interested in hiring Saban. But Brandt also has close ties to the NFL, which makes us wonder whether Snyder is one of the intended recipients of Saban's message.
Why wouldn't Snyder be interested in Saban? Sure, he burned out after two years in Miami because a little thing called the salary cap prevented him from over-recruiting the most talented players in the nation and then lining them up and letting them win championships. (Besides, NFL kickers are way better at making 57-yard field goals.) No numbers of crystal footballs will soothe Saban's lingering torment over the perception that he couldn't get it done at the highest level of the sport.
The key for Saban would be negotiating a contract that gives him as much power in the NFL as he enjoys in a town he runs called Tuscaloosa, with enough extra money to make up for the fact that he'd to deal with a far more zealous and independent press corps in D.C. So if $7 million per year keeps him in Alabama, what would lure him back to the NFL?
$8 million plus total control of the football operations and a promise from Snyder to stay out of the building?
$10 million plus full control?
Surely, there's a number and a set of terms that will get Saban's attention. But first, Saban has to get Snyder's attention.
Mission accomplished.
Philadelphia police investigate alleged attack on Lions fan
Philadelphia police are investigating after a Lions fan said he was attacked by a group of Eagles fans after Sunday's game.
Police told the Associated Press that a 33-year-old man wearing a Lions hat and jersey was assaulted while leaving Lincoln Financial Field after the Eagles beat the Lions on Sunday.
The fan told the Philadelphia Inquirer that because he was wearing a Barry Sanders jersey, Eagles fans pelted him with snowballs throughout the game, and that as he left after the game, a group of six men surrounded him and screamed at him.
"I was like, 'Are you guys serious? You won, enjoy it,'" the man said.
Instead, he says, the group of Eagles fans attacked him, punched him, choked him and knocked him unconscious.
Philadelphia police say they are searching for surveillance video that may help identify anyone involved in the attack, and they are asking witnesses to come forward.
Browns cut Caleb Hanie
With Jason Campbell and Brandon Weeden both battling concussions last week, the Browns signed Caleb Hanie to serve as a possible quarterback for their game against the Patriots.
Campbell got cleared by doctors and made the start in the 27-26 lead and it appears Weeden is also doing better because the Browns announced that they have released Hanie. If Weeden is cleared to return this week, he'll serve as Campbell's backup and Alex Tanney will continue in the No. 3 role.
The Browns filled Hanie's roster spot by signing running back Edwin Baker off of the Texans practice squad. Baker was a seventh-round pick of the Chargers in 2012 and spent most of the season on their practice squad. He was on the Broncos practice squad this year before moving on to Houston and, now, Cleveland.
Willis McGahee suffered a concussion during the loss to the Patriots so Baker could wind up active this week as a backup to Chris Ogbonnaya and Fozzy Whittaker.
Wade Phillips wants to be the Texans' permanent head coach
Two years ago, Wade Phillips passed on the chance to interview for the head-coaching position in Tampa. That doesn't mean the three-time former head coach doesn't want to be the next head coach of the Texans.
Phillips has made it clear that he's interested in removing the "interim" label from the job he inherited after Gary Kubiak was fired last week. In fact, Phillips won't say that he's willing to remain as the team's defensive coordinator, if someone else gets the coaching job.
"I would never say that, because then they wouldn't hire you as the head coach," Phillips said Monday, via John McClain of the Houston Chronicle. "I'm not going to fall for that one."
Appearing on Tuesday's PFT Live, McClain said that he doesn't believe Phillips will be viewed as a serious candidate for the job. If, however, the team can break an eleven-game losing streak and win the next three games, Phillips' candidacy could gain some steam.
McClain also said that G.M. Rick Smith remains entirely safe, and that any candidate who is offered the job but who doesn't want Smith setting the table will not be the next coach of the team.
Another intriguing topic — what will the Texans do if they "earn" the first overall pick in the draft? Though some have dismissed the possibility that McNair would want Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, McClain thinks McNair would have no qualms about adding the 2012 Heisman winner to the team, if his stock rises to the point where the pick is justified.
PFT on NBCSN: Coaching hot seat, Power rankings
There may not be a hotter seat in the NFL right now than the one under Redskins coach Mike Shanahan.
The question that must be answered is whether Shanahan is providing the flame himself. We'll discuss that on Pro Football Talk on NBCSN on Tuesday in an attempt to make heads or tails of what's gone on in Washington over the last few days. The rest of the vulnerable coaches will also be up for discussion during our weekly temperature check of the coaching ranks.
We'll also have a look at the power rankings for this week. The Seahawks weren't shaken from their perch at the top by last weekend's loss, but the conversation will cover which other teams are moving up and down the list with just a few weeks left in the regular season.
It all gets started at 5:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN.
American football receives provisional IOC recognition
American football should be in the Olympics. Eventually, it could be.
The folks at USA Football advise PFT that the International Olympic Committee granted the International Federation of American Football provisional IOC recognition during today's IOC meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The move, which reverses the IOC's May 2013 stiff arm to the IFAF, means that a vote on adding American football to the Olympic games could happen as early as 2017. If that occurs, American football would become a sport in the 2024 Summer Olympics.
(After this past weekend's games, American football could be far more compelling as an event in the Winter Olympics.)
"IFAF is proud to receive this recognition and join the Olympic family," IFAF President Tommy Wiking said in a news release forwarded to PFT. "The enduring ideals of sport that comprise the Olympic Charter reside in our game's timeless values and in the spirit of the millions who love to play it."
Sixty-four countries on six continents currently have national federations of American football.
During the most recent Summer Olympics, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told a certain Internet hack who was hosting a certain well-listened-to national radio program that American football "absolutely" should be among the many sports. That development absolutely would help fuel the sport's international growth.
While it would result in an easy gold medal for the United States in the first several Olympic games including football, more countries will become more competitive over time.
Until then, there's always the bronze medal game.
Washington-Atlanta a big game for NFL draft order
Two of the worst teams in the NFL will meet on Sunday in Atlanta, in a terrible game that will have big implications in the NFL draft.
At 3-10, Washington and Atlanta are tied for the second-worst record in the NFL. So the loser of Sunday's meeting will be in the driver's seat for the second overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft.
Except that Washington shipped its first-round pick to St. Louis as part of the trade to acquire Robert Griffin III. So this is a big game for the Rams, who will be rooting for the Falcons.
One of the most surprising parts of this NFL season is that the four teams with the worst records in the league — Houston, Atlanta, Washington and Minnesota — were all in the playoffs last season. Fans of three of those teams at least have the ability to daydream about what their teams can do with next year's first-round pick. Fans in Washington don't even have the draft to console them as they trudge through a miserable December.
Report: Snyder won't interfere in Shanahan's QB call
While Redskins coach Mike Shanahan decides whether he wants to do the equivalent of dragging a World Series trophy around the parking lot by the bumper of his car, the equivalent of Big Stein isn't going to meddle.
According to Mark Maske of the Washington Post, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder "won't intervene in the Redskins' pending quarterback decision."
In short, if Shanahan wants to create a minor mutiny by benching Robert Griffin III in the guise of a safety decision now (as opposed to, say, earlier in last year's Seahawks playoff game), Snyder is going to let him.
"He won't step in and interfere with that," a source close to Snyder told Maske. "He's not going to step into a personnel decision that way."
Shanahan suggested that he might turn to Kirk Cousins because all of the sacks Griffin was taking lately, but if you were going to hold him back for his own well-being, it seems September might have been a more logical time.
But Shanahan said he'd decide by Wednesday, and that if he went with Cousins, he'd be shutting Griffin down for the rest of the season.
It's not hard to decode that one as an attempt to rile Snyder into firing him.
But Snyder's apparently willing to call his bluff.
49ers pluck guard from Seahawks practice squad
The Seahawks and 49ers aren't scheduled to play again this season, but that doesn't mean they can't continue their habit of signing players with experience on their NFC West rivals.
The latest players to jump sides are guard Ryan Seymour and wide receiver Devon Wylie. The 49ers announced that they have signed Seymour off of the Seahawks' practice squad and that they have added Wylie to their practice squad. The receiver spent a few days on Seattle's practice squad last week.
Seymour will take the spot of defensive lineman Tank Carradine on the 53-man roster. Carradine was a second-round pick in April and started the season on the non-football injury list because of a torn ACL suffered while he was at Florida State. He was activated from the NFI list in late October, but was never active for a game and his rookie year will go down as a redshirt season.
Seymour was a seventh-round pick, but didn't make the Seahawks this summer and signed to the practice squad in September.
Bills activate Jonathan Meeks from injured reserve
The Bills don't have much left to play for in 2013, but there's a chance to evaluate some players for 2014 and they'll get that chance with rookie safety Jonathan Meeks.
The team announced Tuesday that they have activated Meeks, a fifth-round pick out of Clemson in April, from injured reserve/return. It's the first week that Meeks is eligible to play after going on the injured reserve list in October.
Meeks was playing only on special teams before getting hurt, but the team could give him a look on defense before the year is out. Jairus Byrd is set for free agency after the season and the team might like to get an idea of what Meeks can offer them in the future.
Linebacker Jamaal Westerman was released to make room for Meeks. Westerman had nine tackles in 12 games for the Bills this year.
Aaron Rodgers knew pain was too much to play last week
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was trying to come back a week ago, but he said Tuesday it didn't take him long to realize that wasn't happening.
During his weekly radio show with Jason Wilde of ESPN Wisconsin, Rodgers said he had too much pain to reasonably continue to try to play against the Falcons.
"The scan last week did not show [enough] healing. We would need different results this week in order to play this week," Rodgers said (as transcribed by Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Doing quick movements or giving a handoff with left hand, those are things that gave me some discomfort. That was a clue. . . .
"It's frustrating, very frustrating. I was trying to push it before science tells you before it's possible."
He said he was going to try to practice tomorrow, but didn't want to predict whether he thought he'd have a chance to play against the Cowboys this week.
Rodgers seems to have come to the realization that a four-week recovery from an injury that most had pegged taking at least six to eight weeks was unrealistic. And with three to play, and the Packers clinging to just the thinnest, most mathematical playoff hope, you understand why he's hanging on.
But it also appears less and less likely that he's going to get the news he's hoping for.
No practice for Wes Welker
The Broncos have a quick turnaround from Sunday to Thursday night this week and it may not be enough time for wide receiver Wes Welker to get healthy enough to be in the lineup.
Lindsay Jones of USA Today reports that Welker did not participate in practice on Tuesday after suffering a concussion against the Titans on Sunday. The league's concussion protocol dictates a series of tests that Welker must pass before he'll be cleared to play, something that usually takes more time than the Broncos have at their disposal right now.
The final injury report for the game will come out on Wednesday and we'll find out Welker's status for Thursday at that point. As of now, though, questionable seems like a stretch. Luckily for the Broncos they also have Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Knowshon Moreno and Julius Thomas available to catch passes from Peyton Manning.
Jones also reports that defensive end Derek Wolfe and cornerback Champ Bailey were held out of practice. Wolfe hasn't played since suffering seizure-like symptoms on the Friday before the Week 13 game with New England and Bailey's been in and out of the lineup with a foot injury all season.

The olinguito is not yet considered an endangered species, but there are threats to its home environment, Helgen said. Many have such forests been chopped down.
"We also kind of hope that in telling this story to the world about the olinguito, that this beautiful new animal serves as something of an ambassador for those embattled cloud forest habitats."
The zoo olinguito
Helgen's group has "discovered" the olinguito, but it been evolving as an independent species for about 3 to 4 million years, he said.
One olinguito whose history Helgen's group studied was exhibited in the United States during its lifetime as if it were an olingo. The creature came from the mountains of Colombia to the Louisville Zoo in 1967, courtesy of a German couple with a love of raccoon family members, Helgen said. It was also in the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington and the Bronx Zoo, where it passed away.
DNA from this olinguito shows that it is clearly not an olingo, Helgen said.
The wife of the animal's keeper told Helgen, "We always thought there was something strange about that olingo," he said.
She told Helgen this particular animal moved from zoo to zoo because she wouldn't breed with the olingos around her.
"It wasn't because she was fussy, it was because she was not at all even the same species," Helgen said.
With the olinguito research announcement, the oddball animal's aloofness has been vindicated.

The color il great but it doesn''t stick as well as other tape.
I recommended this tape to my neighbor who had broken a bone in her foot and she felt a lot better when it was time for her to go back to work. She used it after the incision healed.
Very useful... just learn how to apply making difference when you are injured and when just want additional support
The tape is greatly packaged. Love various colors to choose from. I am not sure if colors of the tape has any significant differences. I like the pre-cut sections that is very helpful. My main issue is that tape does not stick well and only stays for few hours if so.
Everything is great the only thing is that it says it last a certain amount of days but it doesn''t you keep having to replace it. I''m an very athletic and it comes off with just perspiration.other than that it''s great.
Great for taping my daughter who is a swimmer. Best if your are a PT and know what your are doing. I''m a physical therapist and only recommend use if you have been trained using the product.
This tape doesn''t stick at all. I went through 8 strips for my knee in one day and while I was out for a run the tape peeled off. My skin was dry and didn''t have any moisturizer on it.
great for tight muscles took some time to learn how to roll with it in certain areas that you want massaged.
I have knee problems and heard that the tape would help. I tried it the first day for knee pain, and ran 3 miles and felt great. I had my wife try it for pain in the arch of her foot, and she was able to run 5 miles with no pain. Great stuff, and it looks like it works for everything.
I have used the product for swim practice (I swim competitively), on my calf and thigh. It stayed on for only about ten to fifteen minutes and then started to come off in the water. It works really well overall, it just needs to stay on better.

The preview goes a little something like this: a liquid pencil fails to impress Eric, we hem and haw over giant people sculptures made to replace ugly electricity pylons, and a couple wheeled gadgets are getting creepy...and emotional. Also on tap--literally--a kegerator iPad app, and a curvaceous camera that gets more than a few comments from the peanut gallery. Finally, a little food porn in the form of a bacon bouquet.

Choosing French door window treatments can be complicated due to the shape of the door, the position of the door handles and your particular light control and privacy needs. Here are a few suggestions for french door window treatments that may suit your needs. Since most French doors have decorative handles that could interfere with the operation of a blind or shade, you'll want to choose a window treatment that is not very deep, such as a 1" wood blind or a soft shade that can hang close against the door. A roller shade with the standard roll option (instead of reverse roll) will allow the shade to hang flush against your French door.
Your privacy and light control needs will play an important part in selecting French door window treatments. If you plan on regularly raising and lowering your shade, you'll want something that won't get tangled up on the door handle. If you plan on leaving the shade pulled down, you should order the hold down brackets option when customizing your blind - these are installed on the door to keep the bottom of the shade in place.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Ed Haley
"I use this recipe for marinara sauce as a base for all my pasta dishes. You can use the sauce 'as is' for a meatless spaghetti sauce. Or you can add just about any meat or seafood to add variety to your meals. In addition, you can add kidney beans and your favorite ingredients to make a super chili. My kids eat this pasta sauce like no other. They are happy campers when the house is filled with the aroma as this sauce is cooking."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/4 cup olive oil
1 bulb garlic, cloves separated, peeled, and sliced
4 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes, chopped
2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
4 (4 ounce) cans diced green chiles
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/2 cup capers
1 cup pitted green olives, chopped
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cups portobello mushroom caps, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon habanero hot sauce
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
This is a very chunky sauce. After adding the chopped green chiles and smelling the pot, I was a little wary, but it turned out great. I had it on homemade pizza, and when I was spreading it on the crust, again, I was a little wary about it being too chunky, but, again, it was great. I let it simmer longer than called for, and I think that helped break down the whole tomates. It has a great flavor and will be much better served plain on pasta than a regular sauce would be.
Horseradish makes this sauce. Pretty good!
