WARWICK — Mistakes were made by Ponaganset High in its Division II-B opener against Toll Gate on Saturday. In the first half alone, the Chieftains committed 14 penalties, two of which negated touchdowns.
Still, despite the numerous yellow flags tossed, it was smooth sailing for the Chieftains, who scored four times in the initial half and cruised to a dominating 38-0 triumph over the Titans. Senior quarterback Chris Larabee tossed for two touchdowns, senior Sam Fasano rushed for a pair of scores and junior Scott Peterson also found the end zone twice for the Chieftains.
PROVIDENCE — North Smithfield's resurgent football program took a step backwards on Saturday afternoon, turning the ball over five times during an 18-10 loss to Hope High.
"Extremely frustrating," Northmen coach Wes Pennington said when asked to describe what he had just seen. "We fought hard but you can't win football games turning the ball over like that."
Fresh off a season-opening 55-26 romp over Burrillville, the Northmen entered their Division IV opener seeking to maintain the momentum built by the 2010 squad that qualified for the playoffs with a 6-2 league record.
WOONSOCKET — Two-time defending Division II champion Woonsocket High faces a loaded Tolman squad next weekend in a rematch of last year's Super Bowl.
The preparation for the big showdown at Barry Field will be thorough for the Villa Novans. Chances are that workload will be intensified slightly more after their II-B opener against visiting Pilgrim Saturday afternoon.
WOONSOCKET – With time running out to claim a place on the ballot, all the signs are pointing against former Mayor Susan D. Menard taking on incumbent Mayor Leo T. Fontaine.
The former seven-term mayor fulfilled a preliminary requirement for becoming a contender on Aug. 30 by filing declaration papers. To secure a spot on the ballot Menard must still return nomination papers with the signatures of at least 100 registered voters.
CUMBERLAND — "We turn no one away," says Anthony DeQuattro, president of Operation Stand Down Rhode Island. The annual encampment to assist all veterans, including those who are homeless, got underway Friday at Diamond Hill Park and continues today and tomorrow.
The three-day outreach event features a wide array of services for homeless veterans and any veteran seeking help, such as housing, hot meals and showers, clothing, benefits screenings, legal assistance, medical and mental health services, vaccinations, substance abuse support and counseling.

Coca-Cola Freestyle Fountain
Coca-Cola has put a premium on great design since humble beginnings in 1886, in a back room of John Pemberton's house. Not only the secret formula, but the distinctive Spencerian script logo and the contour bottle design itself were considered when branding the new beverage. One hundred twenty-five years later, those designs are icons of American culture. And design priorities continue to drive Coke into the future, dispensed with style and holistic values through the iconic Freestyle Fountain.
The catalyst design case studies are available in text version ($9.99) or as an audio file ($12.99) at the IDSA Online store.

Howdy folks, welcome to the show.
It's a holiday week so buckle and pour yourself a Co-Cola and stay a while. Oh yeah, remember the mailbag — we need a couple of spots filled.
From the "Talks too much" studios, let the good times roll.
1. Alabama (11-0, 7-0)
Is any team in a generation more prepared for the big stage than Alabama? No way. In the five seasons of dominance starting 2009, Alabama has played top-10 foes 17 times and is 14-3 in that stretch and has won seven of its last eight. Side question: Is AJ McCarron now the Heisman front-runner? Here's saying Jameis Winston likely holds a slim lead, but the rape allegations are going to be impossible to judge. An Alabama win Saturday in what will be the most-watched college football game in the country this year would go a long way to making McCarron the Heisman favorite.
Saturday: at Auburn, 3:30 (CBS)
Whether pitching the ball to one of his backs, running it himself or throwing a pass, Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall keeps the offense moving at a high velocity.
2. Auburn (10-1, 6-1)
Want a reason to believe Auburn can win Saturday? Alabama's losses since 2008 — Florida, Utah, South Carolina, LSU, Auburn, Texas A&M and LSU again — all have come against mobile quarterbacks. Most of those guys used their feet to extend plays and look down the field, but all of the guys in that selected group — Alabama is 61-7 since the start of 2008 for crying out loud — could move. There is no doubt Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall can move — he may be the fastest starting quarterback in the league since Matt Jones was at Arkansas — but will he be able to hit plays down the field? That's the biggest key we can see on this fine Tuesday morning of Iron Bowl week.
Saturday: vs. Alabama, 3:30 (CBS)
3. Missouri (10-1, 6-1)
Any one have any more questions? Nope. These Tigers are complete and supremely impressive. Missouri overpowered Mississippi, and now stands one win from a spot in the SEC title game. And figure this: With Florida resembling a dumpster fire filled with dirty diapers stuffed with Indian food, the Vols in complete rebuilding mode and Georgia and South Carolina having to replace long-time starting quarterbacks, Mizzou likely could be the favorites in the SEC next year too.
Saturday: vs. Texas A&M, 7:45 (ESPN)
Do you know what the ultimate compliment is for the state of a program? Try this: LSU will go 9-3 and play in a New Year's Day Bowl game in a full-blown rebuilding year. The Tigers had to restock a defense that lost 10 starters and are a Tana Patrick strip and some self-inflicted fourth-quarter wounds in Athens and Oxford from being right there in the mix for the national title. Still, a 9-3 run and a likely trip to the Cotton Bowl is not too shabby in a year that the defense had to be reconstructed.
Friday: vs. Arkansas, 2:30 (CBS)
5. South Carolina (9-2, 6-2)
How in the world can South Carolina be a six-point favorite over Clemson? That's easy. South Carolina has two distinct advantages that have proved immensely fruitful recently in this rivalry, which is filled with more hate and vitriol than most of us outside of its parameters know and way more than the "Palmetto Bowl" tag this rivalry carries. First, South Carolina's defensive line has dominated this game during the Gamecocks' four-game winning streak in the series. Second, the Ole Ball Coach has dominated in the coaching circle. USC's defensive line gets a slight edge over the Clemson O-line again this year — and in truth, Clemson's defensive front has been among the nation's best. But we'll alway prefer the side with a Spurrier rather than a Dabo.
Saturday: vs. Clemson, 7 (ESPN2)
6. Texas A&M (8-3, 4-3)
Want to know how tough the SEC is, part 1,208? Try this stat: The Aggies have three projected first-round picks on offense — quarterback Johnny Manziel, tackle Jake Matthews and receiver Mike Evans, who is dy-NO-mite — and will have to pull an upset in Columbia, Mo., to avoid an 8-4 season, which is likely the same record Ole Miss will post. Every week is a challenge, gang, and with that amount of talent leaving College Station, and the number of big-boy jobs coming open that A&M coach Kevin Sumlin could be a candidate for, this could be an offseason of much unrest.
Saturday: at Missouri, 7:45 (ESPN)
Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray.Photo by Contributed Photo /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
7. Georgia (7-4, 5-3)
Where does Aaron Murray rank on the all-time greats in SEC history? Thankfully Murray set all those amazing SEC records before his career was ended last week with an ACL injury against Kentucky. As for Murray's place in history, well, as great as all the numbers are — he's the all-time SEC leader in passing yards, completions, passing TDs and total offense — the one number that must be mentioned is 0. As in 0 SEC titles in his four years as a starter. Certainly ranking the all-time SEC quarterbacks is more than just winning games, but to counterbalance the argument, would you rather have AJ McCarron or Murray? Interesting debate for sure.
Saturday: at Georgia Tech, 3:30 (ABC)
8. Ole Miss (8-3, 4-3)
What was that? The Rebels are confounding bunch for sure. They beat LSU. They look terrible against Ole Miss. Now they face a perplexing short week against a desperate Mississippi State team that has had this one circled since September. This time last week, Ole Miss was a good performance against Missouri from likely heading to the Cotton Bowl. Now they are a bad performance in Starkville from heading to the Music City Bowl.
Thursday: at Mississippi State, 7:30 (ESPN)
9. Vandy (7-4, 4-4)
Where will James Franklin be coaching next year? Sure it could be in Nashville, but we're not betting on it. The program has hit its apex, right? A win over Wake Forest — Vandy is a two-touchdown favorite — means back-to-back eight-win regular seasons. At Vandy. Franklin is already secured of his third consecutive bowl trip. AT VANDY. So the question remains, where's he going to hang his head set in '14. Here's betting it's not at Vandy.
Saturday: vs. Wake Forest, 12:21 (WDSI)
10. Florida (4-7, 3-5)
Hot seat question 1: How many games must the Gators win next year to save Will Muschamp's job? Muschamp and the Gators have had more injuries than the Alexian field day. That is a fact, and that fact likely will get Muschamp a mulligan. But Florida State likely will drop a Biblical spanking on the Gators in the Swamp on Saturday, and injuries or no, four-win seasons are not tolerated at Florida. Here's saying the over/under for Muschamp to remain in Gainesville next year is at least eight.
Saturday: vs. FSU, noon, (ESPN)
11. Mississippi State (5-6, 2-5)
Hot seat question 2: If you are a Mississippi State supporter, and you want Dan Mullen fired, who are you going to get that is better, especially in an offseason in which the competition for hiring the top head coaches could be fierce? We think Mullen gets another year. And we think he could go a long way to flipping the feeling in the state with a win Thursday in the Egg Bowl. If the Bulldogs win Thursday, which team would feel better heading into the bowl season, a potential 6-6 MSU riding a two-game winning streak or a 7-5 Ole Miss bunch on a two-game slide? Big stakes on turkey day for Danny Mullen for sure.
Thursday: vs. Ole Miss, 7:30 (ESPN)
12. Tennessee (4-7, 1-6)
Is there a more head-scratching result in college football this year in retrospect than the Vols' upset over South Carolina? Maybe West Virginia's shocking win that has Oklahoma State on the outside of the BCS picture, but that's it. We believe that Butch has said all the right things. He has embraced rallying phrases and inspired a proud and starving fan base. He also has recruited his buzz cut off. All of those are positives and deserve to be mentioned. His Vols, however, are a miraculous Marquez North one-handed catch from being bagel-and-seven in the SEC. If North had not made that catch, the questions and impressions about this Vols season would be strikingly different, no?
Saturday: at Kentucky, 7 (ESPNU)
13. Kentucky (2-9, 0-7)
How many folks will be at Saturday's game against UT? We posed this question to TFP UT beat ace Downtown Patrick Brown, and we liked his answer: There will be roughly 1,000 folks for every degree of temperature we have at kickoff. That seems fair, and with temps expected right around 40 degrees, that means the UK-UT game will draw about 10,000 fewer than the UK spring game. If you're counting tickets, would that be more click-by-click than brick-by-brick? When grooming Smokey, do we go tick-by-tick? Is David Copperfield measured trick-by-trick? We say yes. Where were we?
Saturday: vs. Tennessee, 7 (ESPNU)
14. Arkansas (3-8, 0-7)
Hot seat question No. 3: Would you be all that shocked if Bret Bielema left in the offseason? And would Arkansas fans be all that upset? We think the answer is no to both. After he surprisingly left Wisconsin last year to come to the SEC, Bielema's first year in the best conference in the country has been nothing short of a debacle. How bad you ask? Well after the Hogs loss big at LSU, Bielema's team will be one-game worse than John L. Smith's train wreck from a year ago. Come everybody, smile.
Friday: at LSU, 2:30 (CBS)
NFL Power Poll
It's a fair time to start wondering about positioning. Teams atop the standings are fighting for position in the playoff picture and more importantly, home-field advantage. Playing at home is doubly valuable this year because of the teams involved. Look at the best teams in each conference, and each has a decided edge playing at home because of crowd and the elements. We'll examine that more in the power poll, but it's an overwhelming truth this year more than most.
As for the dregs of this NFL society, the street urchins residing in the safe underbelly of the ATM that is the NFL, a utopian business model structured on TV revenue being the bell cow and attendance being the profit source, well being bad does mean being badly financed. Heck, the NFL is such a money-maker, the Cleveland Browns are worth a billion dollars and of the 50 most valuable sports franchises, 30 of them are NFL teams.
So stinking in the NFL is still worth millions. It's also worth the chance to draft a playmaker that could easily flip the script for almost any franchise. That's another genius side ripple of the NFL's power structure: Great teams can stay great, but even the worst teams can start anew rather quickly. The least desirable position would be on the treadmill of mediocrity that results in a one-and-done playoff every third year and a river of draft picks ranging from the mid-teens-to-the-low-20s in each round.
So it goes, and with an eye on position let's go to the power poll.
Top five
1) Seattle
2) New England
3) Denver
4) New Orleans
5) Carolina
Bottom five
We're adding an extra bonus to this week's bottom five, since it's all about positioning. In parenthesis is where each team is currently slotted in round one of next spring's NFL draft.
28) Washington (no first-round pick; sent to St. Louis as part of the RGIII deal)
29) Houston (No. 1 overall)
30) Minnesota (No. 4 overall)
31) Atlanta (No. 3 overall)
32) Jacksonville (No. 2 overall)
Hot seats galore
The SEC asked and answered above got us thinking. And yes, that's a dangerous opportunity.
Look at the college football landscape. Now look at some of the monster jobs that could come open in the next few weeks in addition to the opening that already exists at USC.
Florida. Texas. Nebraska. To name but three.
There could be a monster rush and even the guys who have their agents just pick up the phone will likely get major pay increases.
Who are the top names out there? We think Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin and Ole Miss' Hugh Freeze will get a slew of phone calls. And Sumlin could be a guy the NFL targets.
Interesting times indeed.
This and that
— The numbers are out. Auburn is getting 10.5 from Alabama in the Iron Bowl. It's just one of several rivalry lines that are head-scratching and hard to read. This week's Fab 4-plus-1 entertainment advice feels like struggle. That said, we can see risking some entertainment on North Illinois tonight over a hapless Western Michigan team. Yes, the Huskies are laying five TDs. We believe this one will be 55-0. Seriously.
— R.I.P. Brian, the dog from Family Guy. Although somehow we feel there may be a chance the lovable/irritable pooch finds his way back into the mix. Maybe like they did in the old-school "Dallas" when they killed Bobby Ewing but the whole season was a Pam's bad dream.
— Derrick Rose is out for the year. Derrick Rose will be this generation's Ken Griffey Jr. He's going to come back and even be a good player. And when we look at his numbers, we're going to go, "Man, what would he have been if he could have stayed healthy."
— The newest college hoops poll is out, and they have rounded up the usual suspects atop the rankings. There is a noticeable plummet, though, as VCU fell from No. 10 to unranked after a rotten week. VCU is nothing without Will Wade. (Kidding.)
— Side question: Everyone makes a big who-haw about the college football polls being meaningless in September. Is there anything more meaningless than a November or December college basketball poll?
Today's question
Feel free to discuss/debate any of the SEC questions.
If you want another talking point, here's one:
The Derrick Rose news is sad on a lot of fronts. Dude has serious skills and had serious upside. Like all-time point guard upside. Now, with two serious knee injuries in three years, there are serious concerns. This sounds serious. (Spy, what's our record for most uses of the same word in the same paragraph?)
Time for a serious question (see what we did there 9er?):
Who is on your Rushmore of the best that never were because of injury? We'll start with J.R. Richard, the 6-foot-8 bullet-throwing right-hander for the Astros that had a stroke in the late 70s, and add Bernard King.
Who you got?
Jay was named the Sports Editor of the Times Free Press in 2003 and started with the newspaper in May 2002 as the Deputy Sports Editor. He was born and raised in Smyrna, Ga., and graduated from Auburn University before starting his newspaper career in 1997 with the Newnan (Ga.) Times Herald. Stops in Clayton and Henry counties in Georgia and two years as the Sports Editor of the Marietta (Ga.) Daily Journal preceded Jay's ...
First name came to my mind was Bill Walton. We never really saw the player he was capable of being. In baseball careers that were cut short were Dizzy Dean and Mark Fidyrich, pretty much from the same injury, an injury to the foot then changing their pitching motion and hurting their arm/shoulder. Tony Congiliaro of the BoSox had a shortened career due to being beaned in the face, was never the same again. In football Gale Sayers, a career cut way short. Back to baseball, Sandy Koufax went out way too early due to arm issues.
Reading the Power Poll part, I couldn't help but laugh a little. Yes, everything is on point. However, there's this local spot on CBS11 showing Cowboys highlights with the following messages appearing on the bottom of the sceen to the sound of inspriational music "Football is not something you watch on television, it is MEANT to be seen live, it is MEANT to be experienced, Order Season Tickets Now!" And they give out the phone number.
The spot obviously is intended to get people to come to the games vs. watching it on television and there lies the rub. I don't know if Jerry approves these spots or one of flunkies in the media department but whoever ok'ed these obviously failed Blue Collar Economics 101. When your nose-bleed seats cost as much as a three-bedroom house payment in East Ridge, that means "you're not who we're catering too". When the stadium parking lot resembles a Lexus, Jaguar and Porche dealership, real fans need not apply. We can also go into things like PSLs and so on but the battle to watch it on television is not going away until the prices are lowered and given the number of extreme super rich we have here in Dallas (we actually have a shopping mall here that only caters to said wealth), that's Jerry's REAL cash cow.
The battle of going vs. watching on TV will be a tough for the foreseeable future.
The only thing we can see that will drive prices down on the majority of sporting events is if the business tax code is changed to where buying season tickets is no longer deductible as an 'entertainment/marketing' expense. The clubs/teams have no reason to drop the prices as long as GE and Coke and Walmart and Big Co. X buy a block of season tickets to give to clients/customers and can write that off as a business expense. Ever wonder how a Braves game on a mid-July night has speckles of spectators and announces 31,000 in attendance? The season-ticket base counts whether they go or not. So the clubs are selling the tickets in mass in most cases and lowering the price does not make sense.
We're not taking one side or the other, just stating our opinion.
Gale Sayers is a no-doubt, first-ballot guy on this Rushmore. Could have been the best ever but the injuries were too much.
As far as pitchers go, we think Mark Pryor may be on this list too. We'd equate Koufax more with Griffey in that both had Hall of Fame careers but the injury limited them from being in the conversation of best ever. (Although Koufax still is in that conversation for us.)
Jomo —
Bowie was very talented, no doubt. In fact — with the likelihood of getting the wrath of Jordan Rules fully clear — the hindsight factor works against the Blazers in the Bowie over Jordan pick for sure.
But at the time, the Blazers already had Clyde Drexler at the 2 coming off a fantastic rookie season and needed help inside. That pick at the time was not that bad. Certainly not Jamarcus Russell bad or Marvin Williams bad.
Sam Bowie tops my list, too. Could Bo have been any good without the hip injury?
Great predicting mechanism on the crowd for UK-UT. Do the Fighting Butches have anything to play for? OK, pride...
Seriously, why would the Iron Bowl attract more viewers than the Tide v. Johnny Football tilt?
I do expect The War Eagles to get their first offensive TD in forever.
The Cats struggled against the team that the NCAA smacks whenever they get mad at UK (see what I did there?), but it could be a useful lesson that they are only #3 when they play hard. And JR is six for six games with a double double while being doubled.
Thanks for the insite. I wasn't trying to start anything as much as there wasn't really anything of interesting in todays 5&10 until I saw the piece in reference and it just made me think of that spot yesterday morning while watching "CBS11 This Morning" which is NOT the easiest to watch (the on-air talent make my head hurt). But my CPU is RIP so I can't listen to Jeff, Kevin and JR in the morning. D:
Anyway, the spot was something I considered humorous considering what the locals thing of Jerry's Death Star and his ticket prices.
The Marcus Dupree 30/30 is one of the top tier ones. And scary cautionary tale involving what happens when you let other people handle your money. It's sad to see at the end how he ended up. ):
Changing the subject, congratulations to Coach Russ Huesman and his son Jacob #14! SOCON Coach of the Year and offensive player of the year by the SOCON Coaches poll. Unreal that the media poll selected the Furman coach. As usual, the media total idiots. Coach H. And his son drilled the Purple Palladins this year and won the first SOCON championship for the Mocs since the 80's. Come on man and by the way......the UTC AD needs to get a new contract on Coach Huesmans desk ASAP!
Yet Furman is going to playoffs. u_u
I don't deny congrats are in order but in the big picture, I'd rather see them clash heads in Frisco against North Dakota State.
The Tony C inclusion is spot on. Walton was MVP one season and he was a force for the 86 Celtics. I'll go Steve Emtman, the Colts No 1 pick whose career got cut short because of injury.
To me, the greatest player whose further greatness remains a mystery because of injury is Robert Gordon Orr.
9er —
UT has little to play for, as does UK. Although Stoops is looking for his first keynote win.
Jomo —
Yes, Dupree is in the conversation. Dude was a monster. In fact, his luck was doubly bad — his knee injury was not as bad as say, Adrian Peterson's and AP missed all of nine months. Knee-mending science has come a long way. Heck, Chuck Webb was going to be a bad man, too.
And who needs catchy slogans like "Restore the Glory" anyway?
And did you see where Gus Malzahn is trying to copyright the phrase "Hurry-up, No-huddle" offense and the acronym HUNH?
Maximus —
As usual, media total idiots? OK.
That said, how is it that the best coach, offensive player and defensive player are on the same team and said team does not make the playoffs?
Here's saying the Huesmans would Fed-Ex the hardware back to the league office for the chance to practice this week with a playoff game on Saturday.
Disagree on most fronts about the coaches team, although the SoCon could be one of the exceptions.
That said, most of the time at Huesman's media lunch when he needs to remember an opposing player's name, he asks Jay Blackmon or John Frierson — two guys that vote for the media team.
Not saying the UTC trio was not worthy — and the fact that the media do not have Tull as the D-PoY is a farce — only debating the merits between the two teams.
And Mantle is a good call — there with the Koufax and Griffey group that was Hall of Fame great despite the injuries.
Spy —
We thought Steve Emtman grew up in Washington state? How did he crash your Boston Mayo clinic office?
For the Rushmore of best that never was due to injury, I nominate former Georgia Bulldogs running back Robert Edwards. Edwards broke out in the season opener against South Carolina in 1995 and scored five touchdowns and, if I remember correctly, finished with over 200 all-purpose yards. Then he was injured in the second game against Tennessee. The trend of great when healthy but often out with injury continued throughout his career at UGA. Edwards rushed for over 1,000 yards during his rookie season with the Patriots only to blow out his knee during a beach volleyball game that was part of the Pro Bowl festivities in Hawaii. A stud running back blowing out his knee playing beach volleyball is just wrong on many levels.
If you like Auburn's chances of pitching a shutout against Alabama, you need to get yourself down to the plains and put yourself behind the wheel of a new Toyota. A Toyota dealer in Auburn is offering to pay off any new car bought before Saturday's tilt if Alabama finishes with a goose egg on the scoreboard. I just like the fact that somewhere in an insurance office building an actuary had to crunch the numbers and assess the risk of Auburn shutting out Bama.
Jay wrote: "As usual, media total idiots? OK." Aw, c'mon Jay...The totality of idiocy is hard to quantify. You're good enough. You're smart enough. And, doggone it, people like you.
Happy Turkey Day to all. I received an e-mail from my dad last night. He has three turkeys and is going to "flash fry" one of them. So if on Thursday you see a mushroom cloud in the sky over Blue Ridge, we are not under attack from terrorists. It's just my family's Thanksgiving get-together gone terribly wrong.

Story by David Nguyen
This morning, Nick joined partners from Winkler Development, the Overlook Neighborhood Association, the Interstate Corridor Business Association, and other guests at the grand opening ceremony for Killingsworth Station, at the corner of Killingsworth and Interstate.
The Portland Housing Bureau is a very proud partner on the project, which brings 57 new apartments – 34 of which will be affordable for low-income homebuyers thanks to PHB's Down Payment Assistance Loan program – to North Portland. (The building also includes ground-level retail space.)
Nationwide, the homeownership rate is as low as it's been since the Great Depression. Today, 57 new families can achieve the dream of owning their own home.
Additionally, the building is LEED-certified, recognizing features like high-efficiency heating and air conditioning systems, on-site stormwater management, responsibly-sourced bamboo hardwood floors, green roofs, high ceilings, light shelves, solar water heating, extra sound proofing, bike racks on every floor, and an electric vehicle charging station. Wow!
Congratulations to all.

Hot Shop, Albany
Has anyone been to this little burrito place on San Pablo a half-block south of Solano?
I'm not much of a burrito person, but I was in the neighborhood and gave it a try. The "special" burrito menu is apparently the main attraction - and what the owner eagerly steers you toward - featuring meats marinated in unusual sauces like garlic/lime and honey/curry (the "Tropical"). I tried the former, and now I think I need to come back for the latter...the meat was definitely above average for a burrito, and the salsa was very flavorful.
i've lived in the area for most of my life and have never tried it. but it was mentioned in the chronicle's "bargain bites" section. let us know what you discover.
I've tried the Tropical chicken burrito as a plato and I really liked it. The owner/cook uses Halal chicken breasts and marinates them in a honey/curry sauce til the meat is very tender.. then I think sautees the chicken chunks in a pan. It's a bit greasier than I expected but it made for a satisfying meal.
The black beans served taste a bit different so I asked the owner what he puts in his beans, and he said "oregano." The owner's not trying to cook authentic Mexican fare, rather he's putting an Afghan spin on everything he cooks... and all the meat he uses is Halal (therefore, tastier and more natural in my opinion)
I liked how clean the place was and how the owner is down for a chat. I also didn't mind having my food served on a partitioned plastic Solo plate.
re: Sophia C.
I went for lunch today. The (apparent) owner said "First Time?" He told me I wanted to try the kebab, or if a burrito, the "Tropical" although I was leaning to the BBQ. He was eager for me to like my food, and asked how I learned of the place. I told him I have walked by it frequently, and live nearby, but usually it is on a Sunday. He said he'd be likely opening on Sundays soon, and I mentioned how there aren't many places around open for lunch on Sunday. We also discussed some other local places, like when I said Christopher's is open on Sunday eve, but not for lunch, and I find their food really bland. He then mentioned the "lines out the door" at Gordo, and neither of us could figure out why. Now, back to the food.
I ordered the Tropical to go, with some hot sauce. I thought it was very good, but in a "this is not mexican food" way. More like something you would have gotten at World Wraps way back when, but better, and cheaper. What could have been better was the hot sauce because the food didn't call for a mexican salsa verde, but rather, maybe something like the hot sauce that Sophia Cafe has (made freshly) - it would have been great on the lamb.
I'll go back to check out some other things.
re: lmnopm
Great. I'll be interested to hear about what else they have. A friend has been trying to get me to stop there for quite a while, but I'm not so big on burritos. Not to derail this thread, but if you are there, make a stop at House of Bread about a block up. There are free samples of everything so you can decide if you like it or not. Next time I'm at HOB, I'm going to trot down the street and check out Hot Spot.
re: rworange
house of bread is great. however, just had the tropical burrito at the hot shop and it was fab.
re: choctastic
i forgot to say that i got my burrito with beef not chicken. beef was better, very tender yet with a good chew. i don't like beef because it gives me heartburn and whatnot but i was told by co-worker to get it this way
Since Hot Shop is a fusion of Halal and Mexican cooking, they should change their name to Halalpeno, and watch the crowds pour in.
Gordo has a line out the door because it's close to Albany high school. The line's mostly teenage boys.
I tried Hot Shop today because this post made me curious and I live nearby. The "tropical" was pretty much curry in a tortilla, with nice black beans and just okay rice. I don't like cheese in a burrito, so that was fine. The sauce was creamy and a bit spicy, a bit sweet. Nice, but I doubt I'll try it again. I'd like to know if anyone else has tried the other burritos. Artichoke, anyone?
Thanks for the post. I tried the tropical plate a few nights ago. It was tasty and definately something I'd order again.
Oh, *that* Hot Shop.
I stopped by quite a while ago, and was underwhelmed. It was unmemorable enough that I don't remember quite what it had, but it took a long time. I was the only person in the store, and it must have taken 10 minutes. I was expecting some kind of flavor explosion, and the burrito was a somewhat standards beans-n-rice with a light marinade on the meat. Ho hum.
I was constantly going to Gordos, and I'm happy to tell why. The carnitas there is just how I like it - crispy, juicy, yum. It stood on its own, so you could easily get a regular burrito (with hot sauce) and have a party in your mouth. Just carnitas and beans. Besides, in and out in 10 minutes (even with the line). Sure, there are better burritos - but not on Solano, not at that price. Cactus is a pale imitation of its previous self.

Want to win an argument about literacy? Just claim your approach is "balanced."
Balanced is a affirmative term. That's why Fox-News claims to be "fair and balanced." It not only makes your position sound reasonable, but implies your opponents may be a bit off, you know, imbalanced.
So it is not too surprising that school principals and district literacy leaders often tout their reading programs as balanced. "Balanced literacy" sounds great, but what does it mean? What is being balanced?
Important professional books — you know, the sort you need to have close at hand, come along every once in a while. We've gathered many of those titles in our Research by Topic section. Look for those listed under Foundational Research.
If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know that one blog in my RSS feed is written by Lisa Belkin. Belkin's blog, Parentlode, can be found in the Huffington Post. Many of Belkin's posts speak to me on a personal level, and some circle into my professional life as well.
Congratulations to Patricia Raina, from Suisun Valley K-8 School in Fairfield, California! Ms. Raina was one of three teachers from across the nation selected as winners of an NBC Education Nation essay contest.
Her idea? A new reality show: Kindergarten Teacher. Ms. Raina's essay is cleverly written in the form of "rounds" Contestants try to move from round to round, although certain things disqualify a contestant immediately.
Those of us familiar with the 2000 National Reading Panel report remember that the report did not support teachers' use of silent reading in the classroom. The research evidence that it had any effect on reading achievement just wasn't there. Some school districts and teachers greatly reduced or stopped providing time during the instructional day for silent reading. Other teachers continued to provide daily DEAR or SSR time, citing the benefits of such a practice.
As I write this blog on Wednesday morning after our historic presidential election, I'm struck by an article I read on msnbc.com. Howard Fineman summarized what he saw as Obama's seven-prong approach to his campaign that served him well.
It was easy for me to see how well these same seven prongs could serve schools and districts well as they consider how they teach reading.
Below are the seven prongs as described by Fineman, with each prong's relationship to reading summarized. See what you think!
Working with struggling readers is darn hard work. Progress is slow, and it takes an enormous amount of effort. Really concerted, dedicated, sustained effort. The students I work with usually make me want to bang my head against a wall out of frustration and leap across the room for joy, and that's within a 45 minute tutoring session!
I once heard Connie Juel, a prominent researcher in early reading, describe an interview with a struggling fourth-grade student. Connie had spent four years following a group of students who, in first grade, had been identified as at risk. She was wrapping up her longitudinal study, asking them how they felt about reading. "Reading?" one boy said. "I hate it. I'd rather clean a bathtub."
I'm often asked what the best sequence is for teaching letter sounds. From the work done by the National Reading Panel, we know that systematic and explicit phonics programs teach children letter–sound relationships directly in a well-defined and predetermined sequence.
Most systematic phonics programs sequence phonics generalizations from least difficult to more difficult. Even still, there are lots of programs that teach letter sounds using lots of different sequences.
The International Reading Association published their 11th Annual "What's Hot" survey . If you haven't looked at this survey before, the results reflect the opinions of 25 literacy leaders; each respondent is asked to rate a topic as "hot" or "not hot," and then asked whether the topic "should be hot" or "should not be hot," (summary chart here.)

Mealtime traditions are important in our family: letting our son help with the food prep, saying grace before we eat, discussing how our day went.
Unfortunately, the one dinnertime habit my wife and I find ourselves keeping the most religiously is that of prodding our four-year-old throughout the meal with variations of "Keep eating," "Take another bite," and "Hurry up."
Sometimes I think we could have grown another stalk of broccoli in the time it takes our son to finish his vegetables. But our incessant chirping is tiresome, certainly for us and likely for him as well.
And today, as I was trying to speed him up with threats of no lollipop after lunch before finally caving to his dubious claim that he was full, it occurred to me that in my attempts to keep lunch moving, I may have actually been inadvertently Americanizing (in a bad way) his eating habits.
We Americans are notorious — and in some ways unique — for wanting everything about our food consumption to be fast. At the supermarket, we want to be in and out. If we cook at home, our recipe had better take 30 minutes or less. If not, we're headed to the drive-thru for our 30-second meal-in-a-bag. If — not when, but if — we sit down to eat, it's often in front of a screen or on a strict time schedule.
In far too many American homes, the fellowship traditionally enjoyed at mealtimes has been replaced by a utilitarian, get-on-to-the-next-thing mindset. In fact, a study released by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development this spring revealed that the average American spends just 74 minutes per day eating, compared to more than double that in developed countries like France and Turkey.
In our family, we do cook a good number of our meals from scratch, make an effort to sit around the table together to dine, and try to have actual conversations while eating. We buy locally grown food when we can and practice a number of "slow food" principles: purchasing locally grown food when we can, patronizing farmers' markets, belonging to a local CSA, and generally attempting to enjoy both the taste of the foods we eat and the experience of eating them.
But I'm afraid we've still fallen into the speed-eating trap, and we're bringing our four-year-old along for the ride. It's a shame, too, since we often end up cutting short his spontaneous songs or stories in an effort to move the meal along. And for what? So we can accomplish another task? So we can stick to a schedule? What happened to appreciating the entire mealtime process, savoring each bite and each other along the way?
Meals with kids, I'm learning, should be slower. Here are a few reasons why.
The truth is, though, our fight against the "hurry-up meal" didn't exactly improve in the fall, when our son started school. There, he is given exactly 20 minutes to finish everything on his Styrofoam tray before being ushered off to his next activity. (By contrast, on a recent trip to Ireland, I observed restaurants and pubs opening their doors to groups of local school children and serving healthy, hot food for about an hour in the middle of the school day.) But this reality makes our efforts on the home front that much more vital.
Do we always have time for a leisurely, French-style dinner? Of course not. And does our son sometimes stall his eating on purpose to avoid bedtime or an undesired food? You betcha. But overall, we can do better and be more intentional with our meals. If we've made countercultural changes in other areas of our lives — like limiting our consumption, not owning a car, and minimizing television — we can and will buck the grab-and-go meal trend as well.
I decided to try out my theory at dinner last night. My wife was at a meeting, so it was just the two menfolk eating dinner — the perfect set-up for a slow, pleasant supper. On the table were some marinated steak strips, rice, and sautéed squash and zucchini. I vowed not to say "hurry up" (or any variation thereof) and to pursue a true connection with my son over a nice meal.
This proved to be increasingly difficult, though, once I cleaned my own plate, looked at the clock, and realized we'd been sitting at the table for an hour. His veggies had yet to be eaten, and that fact alone prevented the kind of heart-to-heart exchange I had hoped we'd have.
In the end, I broke my vow, and while I wouldn't describe the meal as especially pleasant or life-altering, it passed my "slow" objective with flying colors.
After all, real change, as they say, is slow.

Nice article Steve. Similar tips in my book Feeding the Whole Family. Slowing down at the table has made our daughter really appreciate food now that she's grown.
I dunno Steve. An hour is enough time for a meal. I think I would reduce the amount of food on the kid's plate -- or the amount of liquid served at dinner. He's not hungry. And it seems to me that he is doing exactly what he should be doing: slowing down or stopping eating when he is full. If he was your cat you'd let him eat as much or as little as he wanted, right?
jeannnnnnnnnn (sorry, got a bit carried away with the n's) -
I'm talking for the post part about intentional stalling. We definitely keep track of how much and what he's eating each meal and know when to cut him off, and most of the stalling I'm talking about seems fairly blatant. And our philosophy on what he eats is that he eats what we eat, and we only serve him things we know he likes. (or will probably like)
This kid just eats slow, and that's not necessarily a bad thing!
Thanks for the good tips...

WEST PALM BEACH -- Growing up, Ryan Klesko learned as much about life as he did pitching from his catcher. He got all kinds of important instruction.
Kick the leg... Throw over the top... Follow through... Do your homework... Eat your vegetables... Clean your room.
Klesko, the Atlanta Braves` prized first baseman of the future, developed a major league arm throwing in his back yard to his mother. This was no game of lob. As a 16-year-old, he hit her so hard in the shin with a wild pitch that she couldn`t walk for a week.

Reproductive Health for Communities in Crisis
Adolescent Reproductive Health
Young people separated from their families and
communities are especially vulnerable to sexual
exploitation and are more likely to engage in risky
sexual behaviour. War-affected adolescents may be
deeply affected by the breakdown of social and cultural
systems, loss of access to education and health
services, the disruption of school and friendships,
exposure to violence and the loss of family members.
In Colombia, violence and displacement have been
accompanied by a marked increase in teenage pregnancies
and unsafe abortions. One study found that
displaced girls were three times as likely as other girls
to become pregnant before age 15.(5) In Liberia, where
pregnancy among girls as young as 11 and 12 is common,
a WHO representative estimated in 2002 that
up to 80 per cent of displaced girls had undergone
an induced abortion by age 15.(6)
Early pregnancy can have severe implications for
the health and well-being of girls whose bodies are
not sufficiently developed to withstand pregnancy and childbirth. Girls between ages 10 and 14 are five
times more likely to die in pregnancy and childbirth
than women between 20 and 24. Unsafe abortions also
pose tremendous health risks.(7) In many conflict settings,
young girls are extremely vulnerable to HIV
and other STIs as well.
One of the most effective ways to protect the
health of adolescents affected by disaster is to ensure
they have access to sexual and reproductive health
information and services. This includes the provision
of youth-friendly information and support, and counselling,
which can be especially important for victims
of sexual violence.
With the support of Belgium, UNFPA is working
with local partners to expand services and support
for internally displaced youth in Burundi, Colombia,
the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Rwanda, and Sierra
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for
example, UNFPA and a local NGO have established
youth centres for displaced young people living
outside camps or in big cities. The centres offer
reproductive health services including voluntary
counselling and testing for STIs. The project has also
trained ten NGOs to provide adolescent reproductive
health services and information. As demand increases
for these services, more funding, resources and partnerships
will be needed.
Even as reproductive health service coverage has improved for international refugees over the past decade, progress has
lagged in providing services for people internally displaced
within states, who outnumber refugees worldwide two to one.
In Angola, where hundreds of thousands remain displaced
after nearly three decades of war, a severe lack of basic safe motherhood services has resulted in one of the highest maternal mortality ratios in the world. The situation is unlikely to
improve without a massive, long-term effort including the reconstruction and re-supplying of health facilities, the training of health professionals, and the establishment of basic
referral services and transportation for complications requiring emergency obstetric care.
Internally displaced persons in Liberia have also been without
even minimum health services for more than a decade.
Internally displaced persons present a special challenge to
the humanitarian community, particularly with regard to reproductive health service provision. National authorities often neglect the displaced, and are sometimes hostile to
them. Agencies like UNHCR and UNFPA have expanded their mandates over the past decade to include internally displaced persons, and have made some progress in linking them to
national health systems. But millions remain inaccessible to these organizations.
Governments in countries where displaced persons live
must do more to recognize their rights, while donor countries have to increase funding and political pressure to ensure their needs are not ignored. See Sources

Joan Kindig, Ph.D. (Children's Literature)
Suzanne is 13 years old when she and a friend witness a bomb drop in their hometown of Cherbourg, France. Based on a true WWII story, it unfolds from the time Suzanne is 13 until the end of the war when she is just 18 years old. Suzanne's family was not Jewish so this is not a book of the Holocaust. Instead, it is a story of what war does to a country and how deep pride in one's nation can run. It is also about standing up for what is right and being willing to risk your life for the cause. Suzanne is a fledgling opera singer whose mobility makes her useful to the French Resistance. Suzanne becomes a spy and risks her life delivering messages that ultimately culminate in the D-Day invasion. The story is a wonderful, true-life adventure that features a smart and very brave young girl. It is a nice addition to WWII literature and a marvelous read. 2003, Delacorte Press, $15.95. Ages 10 to 14.
Kirkus (Kirkus Reviews, May 1, 2003 (Vol. 71, No. 9))
Suzanne David's father always said, "Obey the rules and no one gets hurt." But when their French town of Cherbourg is bombed, her neighbor is killed, the Nazis take over, and her family is turned out of their house, whose rules does she obey? When one of the few black families in Cherbourg disappears, Suzanne says to her Papa, "I thought Hitler only hated Jews. I didn't know he hated black people too." "Now you do," he replies. It is this growing awareness, step by step, that leads to Suzanne's involvement in the French Resistance, becoming number 22, and relaying messages essential to the planning of the D-Day invasion. Based on Bradley's interviews with the real Suzanne, this is an exciting account of a girl's coming of age in a scary time. The historical context is neatly woven into the story, so readers will learn about Dunkirk, the fall of Paris, Vichy France, Charles de Gaulle, and D-Day. A terrific companion to Gregory Maguire's The Good Liar, but for an older audience. 2003, Delacorte, $15.95. Category: Fiction. Ages 10 to 14. Starred Review. © 2003 Kirkus Reviews/VNU eMedia, Inc. All rights reserved.
Claire Rosser (KLIATT Review, May 2003 (Vol. 37, No. 3))
Bradley has written fiction based closely on the life of Suzanne David Hall, who shared her stories with the author. The novel begins in 1940 when Suzanne is 13 and it ends when the Allies liberate her town of Cherbourg, France in June 1944. Suzanne is studying to be an opera singer, and as soon as she finishes school when she is 15, she starts working in the local opera company, singing the leading roles. She naturally has a lot of appointments around town and in nearby towns, and her doctor recruits her as a spy, carrying messages in the midst of the Nazi occupation. She knows that if she is caught, she will be killed. The strength and discipline she needs for her career help her in the work as a spy. Details of her family life under the occupation, her singing career, the solace she finds in music during utmost stress--these details make the story a reality for the reader. Therefore, the fear she experiences working as a spy, the lies she must tell to her family and friends to cover her activities, and the suspense inherent in the story make this a thrilling reading experience. We are filled with admiration for Suzanne's strength and commitment. Frequent French expressions and details from the operas and their arias make this novel even more exotic for American YAs. The town of Cherbourg is laid out in the readers' minds--from the first scenes of Germans bombing the beach at the time of the British troops retreating in 1940 to the liberation of the town on D-Day. In an epilogue, we learn that Suzanne married an American soldier at the end of 1945 and immigrated to America, where she raised her family in Tennessee. A powerful story. Category: Hardcover Fiction. KLIATT Codes: JS*--Exceptional book, recommended for junior and senior high school students. 2003, Random House/Delacorte, 181p., $15.95. Ages 12 to 18.

Based on a true story, Bradley's (
Karen Coats (The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, July 2003 (Vol. 56, No. 11))
In this historical novel set in Cherbourg, France, Bradley provides a fictionalized account of the true story of Suzanne David, a young French opera singer whose work as a spy for the Allies was instrumental in the success of the 1944 Normandy invasion. After a grisly narrative hook, wherein thirteen-year-old Suzanne witnesses the mangling of her neighbor--including the woman's decapitation and a fetus ripped from her womb--during a bomb raid on the beach, the story settles into the constant suspense, fear, and tension of living in an occupied city. Suzanne continues to pursue her career as an opera singer despite the war, and she begins to perform around the city, finally realizing her ultimate dream of singing the role of Carmen in Paris. When her doctor realizes the freedom of movement she enjoys, he enlists her help in the dangerous work of carrying messages. Over three years, she delivers countless messages to an ever-decreasing number of fellow espionage agents, until one day she too is betrayed. The subject matter is naturally involving, and the juxtaposition of Suzanne's successes as a singer and as a spy moves this gripping narrative along at a firm clip. Characterization is thoughtful enough to add interest, with Suzanne feeling romantic or heroic on the stage but alarmingly clumsy and obvious as a spy, a realistic emotional detail that contributes to the tension of the story. Add this to Number the Stars to show another face of the heroic resistance of young people during the war. Review Code: R -- Recommended. (c) Copyright 2003, The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. 2003, Delacorte, 181p, $17.99 and $15.95. Grades 6-9.
Chris Carlson (VOYA, June 2003 (Vol. 26, No. 2))
A member of the local opera company in Cherbourg, France, Suzanne is sixteen years old when she becomes a spy for the French Resistance. Only her voice teacher and the local doctor who recruited her for the task know that she is passing messages that will aid the Allies of World War II. As the war progresses and as she becomes more adept at hiding and delivering the messages, the danger of discovery increases. Finally arrested for questioning, Suzanne finds herself free the next day, June 6, 1944, as the Germans rush to defend themselves against the D-Day invasion. Centering on Suzanne's life from the age of thirteen to seventeen and her relationships with friends and family, this riveting adventure, based on a true story, is peppered with memorable teen characters who bring events to life. Indelible images-beaches littered with broken bodies after bombing runs; houses stripped of furniture and valuables, defaced by German troops; the struggle to subsist on rationed food-and the teens' reactions to the horrible events make occupied France come alive for readers. Characters' voices resonate with the struggle to deal with the war's effects on their lives and futures. Suzanne's resolve to work against the Nazi invaders comes after she and her family suffer abuse at their hands. Her resolve and courage should strike a chord with teens who understand how difficult, yet how empowering, it is to help in changing things for the better. This novel is historical fiction with sure appeal for young adults.

- Msggianos in NapervilleMike565VIPDined on 11/23/2014Food was very good. Fresh. Tasty. Good portions. I love their salads!! Service was also very good. Our waitress was friendly and alert to details.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, great serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/23/2014A nice find on this, our first visit. Servers Cheryl & teammate Arin were attentive but not obtrusive. The presentation was attractive, portions more than adequate, And the wine list large. All in all, a pleasant evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 11/22/2014Recently came here for a luncheon on Saturday afternoon. My husband had the Chicken Franchese and I had the sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce. We both started with Maggiano side salads and I ended with a profiterole. The food was great, and the service was attentive. We find Maggiano's very consistent, as we come here often. We will definitely return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Pleasant AfternoonNancyandSteveDined on 11/22/2014First time at this location and it happened to be during the lunch hour. Nice atmosphere, comfortable seating without crowding, good service, and delicious food. Really enjoyed the warm bread and stuffed mushroom appetizers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, however, the menu needs to be updated.LindaDined on 11/22/2014For the lunch menu, it is a limited selction. We were dissappointed with the pumpkin cheesecake. It really didn't taste like pumpkin cheesecake, instead it tasted like carmel with nuts...not too creamy of a dessert.Special Features:
- Slipping?nhramnlDined on 11/19/2014Had the Rigatoni D and it was good, but definitely NOT great. Presentation was unappetizing, sauce was watery and it was warm, not hot. Also had a Caesar side salad, which was what I've come to expect from Maggiano's. Won't condemn them on one negative experience though, because I've had great Rigatoni D at the locations in Denver and Detroit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Happy Anniversary to Us!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/18/2014We walked in to our table for a 6:45 pm reservation that READY!!! This was a first for us. The server, Katelyn,was prompt, friendly, and asked if we were there for a special occasion. We weren't rushed for our drink order and the appetizer was exceptional followed by our delicious meal. We could not have asked for a better meal or evening. The service was better than we have had in four star restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow to sit. Waitress was excellentoeidesignDined on 11/15/2014We had reservations for 9:00pm on a Saturday evening. We were given the standard beeper when we arrived a little before 9:00pm. No one else was waiting in the lobby and we peeked into the restaurant to see there were plenty of tables open. Which was fine, maybe they did not have the wait staff to cover those. The host and some of the wait staff seemed content to let us wait around until i inquired about our table. They said a some tables were still being cleared. A minute later we were sat at the table that we saw was cleared and set when we had arrived. I'm not sure why they felt like we should wait around for 10 minutes when there was no need. My wife and I were going to leave but the waitress saved it. She was cheery and attentive. So thumbs down to the host and thumbs up to the waitress.
- Same ole, same ole ...frc54Dined on 11/15/2014As with previous visits here, Maggiano's did not disappoint. The service was impeccable, and the food was nothing short of dilectible. On this particular evening, the place was jam-packed, but our reservation time was honored.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow, but the food was goodLizKDined on 11/15/2014I reserved a table days in advance, showed up on time for my reservation, but still had to wait 15 minutes to be seated. Service was pretty darn slow; however the food was good. What made the slow service less tolerable was at least two of our orders were incorrect, and we had to wait even longer to have them corrected. The food was good, but I wouldn't consider Maggiano's Naperville a go-to place to dine other than occasionally.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EnjoyedPeppermintDined on 11/15/2014I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere of Maggiano's. We had a 5:45 reservation and get in pretty much right on time. I enjoyed everything about our time there except our waitress was not very good. She started off really nice and I thought it was going to be a good dining experience all the way around, but after our initial order etc. she was not attentive at all and we barely saw her. Other than our waitress the other staff was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Warm welcome!Walt213Dined on 11/15/2014A very friendly staff- made sure to congratulate us on our celebration. We didn't feel rushed. Food was excellent. Great prices and especially since I couldn't decide on a pasta- I got one to take home for free! Being pregnant right now... That was pretty great news!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Burnt/Dry ManicottiJohnManDined on 11/14/2014I typically love Maggiano's and their food, but found my first experience at this location to be lacking. I ordered the chicken and spinach manicotti (one of my favorite selections), but was rather disappointed when it was served to me way ocercooked. It was visually burnt in certain places, the sauce and chicken had dried out, and the dish was flavorless. Hopefully this was just an off night for them. Service was really slow and I was starving, so I found myself just eating the half entree after waiting too long to request sending it back. It was edible, but tasted horrible. Not worth the $$$.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Maggiano's in Naperville does not disappoint!Reservations42Dined on 11/14/2014We arrived early for an 8:15 reservation on a Friday and went to the bar for a cocktail. Loved the fresh rosemary in the martini. We were greeted upon being seated by our waitress, Melissa, who provided excellent service and recommendations. The fried zucchini is always crispy and piping hot. For dinner I had the lighter fare shrimp and fettuccine, not too spicy or too much to consume, but very flavorful and satisfying. My husband had a chicken and potato dish which was also excellent. What is really nice is that Maggiano does change up their menu often, yet keeps their favorites for everyone's enjoyment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Relaxing EveningLenaDined on 11/14/2014At the last minute we made a reservation on a Friday evening and had a nice relaxing meal. We were in the mood for Italian and opted for their classic dishes of Lasagna and Egg Plant Parmesan with a chopped salad to start and were not disappointed. Everything was delicious, wait staff very attentive and the noise level easy for conversation. Perfect dinner out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently greatFrancineMVIPDined on 11/13/2014Friends and I went to dinner for a birthday celebration and we enjoyed sitting in the bar area for a change. Food was wonderful and service was great-our server, Michael, was knowledgeable, friendly and professional-he made some recommendations we hadn't tried before and we really liked!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Somewhat disappointed.HopingDined on 11/1/2014We have been to Maggiano's several times recently and feel that the experience has gone downhill. The last two times the entre' has been tasty but arrived too soon after the appetizer was served or was only luke warm instead of hot. The kitchen has to iron out their timing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We were forced to eat with our jackets on part of the time due to the coolness of the room. Maybe it was where our table was placed. Other than that, it was a glorious, delicious, food-filled party for my mom's 81st birthday. And Josh, the manager, was very thoughtful as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We ordered the full family style dinner and everything was delicious except for the Veal Marsala. We thought the veal tasted like liver. In all the years that we have been coming to Maggianos we have never had a bad item. Outside of that the appetizers, salad, pasta dishes and other meat and shrimp entrees, along with the desert were delicious, as usual. We will be back but will avoid adding the Veal Marsala as one of our entree dished. Love this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- too many childrenMaximusDined on 10/24/2014And too many children wouldn't be bad if the parents would keep them from running about. It's family dining: I get that. But noise level increases with children. I would say it is energetic, indeed, but also TOO LOUD. We were seated near crying baby. Ugh. How can you have a nice dinner conversation while listening to crying baby?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Only a Clerk
Soon after I was made a ward clerk 20 years ago this month, I walked into the clerk's office to find a xerox copy of an article posted there. The article was the text of a letter, sent by one of my predecessors, to the Church's membership department, and had somehow found its way to Sunstone. It was titled "A Religion of Clerks." The author, Randal Quarles, has since served as Undersecretary of the Treasury. Read more »
Mormon Language
I can't resist telling this one again. Last May in priesthood meeting the photographers collecting photos for the ward directory suggested that the photos might end up on the "Blogosphere."

To my surprise, this drew gaffaws from the entire room, as if I had invented the term there and then as a joke of some kind. Read more »

No. Please don't.
Jesper is SO darn boring. One of my dad's closest friends are named this, and I went to school with tons of Jesper's. I really prefer Jasper, and in the US, UK, Australia, Canada etc I think Jasper would be a lot easier. Everyone would probably assume that's his name anyway.
