HAWS has the Cure for the Summertime Blues!
At HAWS we have something for every member of the family – pet or person – this month!
HAWS' busy calendar of activities for June is highlighted by the grand-opening House Warming Party on June 21st, from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. All members of the public are welcome to tour the newly expanded and remodeled shelter - even the "behind the scenes areas," learn about HAWS' programs and services, visit adoptable animals and enjoy a cookout. Pets are welcome, too!
Starting June 1st, we will have new summer hours of operation. Monday through Friday viewing/visiting hours are from 1:00 – 6:00 p.m., with the shelter open to receive animals from 9:00a.m. until 6:00 p.m. on those days. On Saturdays, HAWS will open to receive animals from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., with kennel viewing between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. On Sundays the shelter will have both receiving and viewing hours from Noon until 4:00 p.m. We'll see you then.
The Ride for Rover motorcycle rally to benefit HAWS is Saturday, June 12th. The Ride, lead by Dave Cook of Cook Customs, starts at the Harley-Davidson Museum on Canal St. in Milwaukee at 9:00 a.m., "pit-stops" at the HAWS shelter at 10:00 a.m. for tours and socializing with the shelter residents and staff, and ends at the Doggy Office in Brookfield for a picnic lunch, music by Cold Brew, shopping for the HAWS' cause and fun for all! HAWS' Mobile Adoptions Center and adoptable pets will be featured. Both riders and non-riders are welcome to participate - $15/person, $5 with a HAWS Wish List donation.
HAWS' Mobile Adoption Center will be active all month, and not just at the Ride for Rover! Scheduled stops include Franklin Safety Day (6/5), West Allis Ala Carte (6/6), Culver's in Sussex for a donation night (6/15) and Lake Country Rehab Center for a dog wash (6/26).
And, the final Nature of Dogs partnership event with the Waukesha Museum – the Best Friends Bash for kids ages 5-12 – is on June 5th. $3/child, $1 off when you bring your best stuffed friend.
By the way: June kicks off months of summer fun. If you bring your pet along on vacation, be sure to call ahead to make sure it is welcome wherever you go! Take vet records and your vet's phone number – and don't forget ample supplies of any medications your pet may need. Always have an I.D. tag on your pet, or better yet, have a microchip implanted. I.D. tags and microchips are available for purchase at HAWS, 7 days a week, for a nominal fee.
Never leave pets unattended in your parked car. The temperature inside a car, even with windows open slightly, can quickly reach deadly levels. In sunlight temps can rise more than 30 degrees per minute. Anytime your pet is outside, make sure he or she has protection from heat and sun (a dog house does not provide relief from heat) and plenty of fresh, cool water.

Many of you are on or use Facebook. It is an interesting site with unknown ramifications. Paul Arndt, shared his thoughts wil me and gave me permission to post them. I would like to weigh in on Facebook in the future too. Meanwhile here is Paul's opinion.

Help Henry Find a Loving Home
Meet Henry. He's a 10-year-old senior Beagle who enjoys a daily stroll and fine dining. This sweet dog does best with older kids and he'd excel with a companion who would enjoy teaching him new cues and tricks. He deserves to be the center of your attention and would prefer to be the only canine in your heart and home! Henry was surrendered to us because he "wasn't a good hunting dog," but we can attest to the fact that he is a world-class, champion snuggler.
Learn more about Henry or meet him at the Wisconsin Humane Society, 45th & Wisconsin Avenue. Would he be a good match for you?

Camp Gone to the Dogs
HAWS ever-popular Kids 'N Critters Summer Day Camp began this week with a specially-themed session that will benefit campers and shelter dogs alike.
Children participating in this week's Camp Gone to the Dogs are specifically working with resident shelter dogs, teaching them basic manners, training some fun tricks and generally helping the dogs to become more desirable to potential adoptive families that visit HAWS!
Dogs participating in the program are Sherlock, Jersey, Dana, Poppa and Lily. All the dogs are available for adoption at HAWS and will be able to go home with their new families at the end of the week, once the Camp Gone to the Dogs kids have completed their project.
HAWS Humane Educator Khris Erickson, who is our camp director, notes "The kids will not only be training the shelter dogs but they'll also be learning about responsibility for pets. They will be caring for the dogs – cleaning the kennels, ensuring their dogs have fresh water, food and clean bedding, etc. It is a great way for them to learn all the aspects of having a pet – care plus training."
Kids 'N Critters Camp runs June through mid-August. Details on the different sessions can be found at www.hawspets.org or by calling Khris at 262-542-8851, x118.
By the way - there's something for everyone this summer at HAWS! Our Mobile Adoption Center is out and about every weekend, classes and seminars continue...and our Everyone-Is-Invited Housewarming Party is coming up Monday, June 21st from 4-7pm. C'mon over - we'd love to see you!

Remember BBQuick?
A couple of years ago a new taste sensation came to the Falls. it was a great new barbecue restaurant, BB Quick. I made regular stops there for great tasting sandwiches. Many others did that as well. Sometimes there would be a line stretching out the door waiting for service.
After a while, open hours were reduced and the store eventually became unused and empty. BB Quick was gone. No one seemes to know why or where it had gone.
Kids 'N Critters Day Camp has begun!
We LOVE this time of year at HAWS - and I think our shelter residents do, too.
Kids 'N Critters Summer Day Camp is in it's second week already!
This year, because of our facility expansion, we are able to have 2 sessions running at once - allowing more kids to attend and for a greater variety of camp offerings. Camp runs through mid-August, offering 2- and 5-day sessions, for ages 7 up to 14. Each camp involves activites and hands-on animal experiences, learning about our shelter and our adoptable pets...even helping make the animals even more adoptable!
Our specially-themed sessions this year are:
- Camp Gone to the Dogs
- Shutterbug Camp
- Art Camp
- Horseback Riding Camp
Camp is popular - kids come back year after year...and then become counselors when they're too old to be campers! Parents start contacting us already in January to see what our schedule will be for the coming summer, to make sure their kids don't miss out.
The learning at HAWS doesn't take a break for the summer - it just gets better!
By the way - our Mobile Adoption Center is also not taking a break - we have a Dog Wash coming up, along with a cookout and more "dine-out" nights. Join us as we bring our 4 paws to YOUR neighborhood!
Help 375 Cats Find Homes!
We're breakin' out the catnip for a very special cause! It's FelineFest at the Wisconsin Humane Society this month, and we are hoping to find homes for 375 cats.
During the month of June, every cat adopter will take home a great prize, including treats and catnip squares. Adoption fees range from $150 for kittens five months and younger, to completely waived fees for adult cats more than one year of age. Included in the cat adoption are spay/neuter, first distemper vaccination, initial deworming, feline leukemia testing, microchip implant, a certificate for a free veterinary exam, and a 30 day gift of ShelterCare Pet Insurance.

A Happy Fourth to All!
We at HAWS wish you and your entire family - including your pets - a safe, happy Fourth of July holiday!
But there are concerns during all the fun times: fireworks and thunderstorms can stress some animals to the point of panic. While some find a great indoor hiding place under a bed or in the bathtub, others may injure themselves by jumping through screen doors or windows.
We see lots more stray dogs coming into our shelter, and receive many more lost reports during severe weather and holiday celebrations including fireworks shows. You can avoid the worry of a lost pet!
Here are some basics to remember:
- Leave your pet at home, even if it is used to going places with you.
- Leave your pet in an area of your home where it will be safe, comfortable and sheltered from any outside noise and lights. Turn on the air conditioning or a fan for background noise.
- Be sure to put away anything that can be damaged or might harm your pet if chewed.
- Never leave pets outside and unattended, even in a fenced-in yard.
- Make sure your pet has identification tags, or better yet, a microchip. Microchips are available at HAWS, 7 days a week.
- Consider having someone stay home with your pet during fireworks shows, especially if you will be away for several days on vacation.
If your pet goes missing, don't give up hope! Call us at 262-542-8851 or stop by to see if you pet has made it to our safe haven.
And, to help dog owners make sure this summer is fun-filled and not stress-laden, Claudeen McAuliffe's booklet "The Big Bang: How You Can Help Your Dog Cope with Storm and Noise Fears," is available at HAWS. Pick up your copy today!
By the way - summer fun abounds at HAWS, at home, on the road! Be safe wherever you are with your pet: Keep your pet leashed (or safe at home - see above), always have water available for BOTH of you, stay in the shade or use sunscreen (seriously, some dogs need it, too - check with your vet!)...plan ahead to have a great time that will make many great memories to look back on when it snows again!

Wisconsin Humane Society sees dramatic increase in kitten surrenders
Interested in adopting a cat? There is no better time, as the Wisconsin Humane Society has an unusually large population of adoptable cats, and staff members hope to have a busy week of cat adoptions.
Three Cheers - Three Boos
Three cheers to the Supremes! Some recent Supreme Court decisions have not found a lot of favor with me. But yesterday, the court actually held strong for one of our rights under the constitution. Amazing! To be sure, I am not a gun owner and never hope to be. Nevertheless I believe that it is of utmost importance to preserve all of our liberties granted under the Bill Of Rights. So we, as citizens, continue to rightfully own arms - for now.
Three boos: To WTMJ TV channel 4. WTMJ was the only newscast I happened to see today, but it made me sick. Other stations may be guilty as well. A grieving parent at her child's death site was captured on video and broadcast to the community.
My objection is that the mom's face was shown very close up in a moment that should have been only private. The camera was so close that you could easily count her eyelash hair. Broadcasters, please have a little empathy and back away for a wide shot and give grieving family members some private space.

text: Adequate Coverage Guidelines *IMPORTANT- Please read in entirety as there are insurance requirements and deadlines. When preparing for college, no student plans to become seriously ill or injured. High health care costs can be a challenging obstacle, especially for students. Cornerstone University no longer practices a "hard waiver" insurance program except in the case of foreign students with an F1 visa. These students will be charged a fee for insurance that meets the requirements set forth by the federal government. All other students are required to show proof of health insurance at enrollment and again at every health service clinic appointment. Most students find it cost effective to remain on their parents insurance throughout their college years. If you are unable to stay on your parents insurance and are shopping for for insurance look for a plan that includes the following features. Comparable insurance plans are required to include: Adequate primary medical care coverage within a 4 hour driving radius of the University for emergency and non-emergency illness and injury including follow-up care to emergency room treatment A primary care physician on record must be within a 4 hour driving radius of the Cornerstone University Campus Out of state HMO's and similar plans are not considered adequate coverage due to the fact that the benefits are very restrictive outside the home area A licensed and approved health insurance policy. Reimbursement/cost sharing plans will not be accepted as comparable coverage A United States customer service telephone number for benefit verification. International customer service telephone numbers will not be accepted Health insurance coverage for the whole academic year Coverage for both in and out patient psychiatric services that pays at least 60% of costs with a maximum per condition limit of no less than $50,000 The plan must have a deductible of less than $10,000 The plan must have a benefit maximum of at least $250,000 per condition It is strongly suggested that comparable coverage includes: Coverage anywhere in the world, including medical evacuation or repatriation benefits. A nationwide network of providers for primary and specialty care. THESE REQUIREMENTS MAY CHANGE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.

I could only imagine his presence, for it was 166 years ago that Thompson traveled our way. A Welshman apprenticed to the Hudson's Bay Company at 14, he was in trouble need a $500 loan online, but couldn't make it and died in poverty and obscurity, without having the chance to change his life. Yet some geographers now rank him as the equal on land of Capt. James Cook upon the sea. In his busy life, Thompson explored more than a million square miles of western North America.
In 1807, seeking a route across the Rockies to the Pacific, he canoed up the Howse River. From the river his party went on horseback up a northbound creek to Howse Pass. Beyond, Thompson beheld a trickle of water running south: the origin of the Blaeberry River, a tributary of the famed Columbia.
He stood beside that mighty river of the West five days later, but failed to recognize it as a vital link in the route to the ocean. In 1810 he tried again, driving dog teams in the dead of winter over Athabasca Pass in what is now Jasper Park. This time he not only opened a trail that thousands of trappers and traders would use, but also mapped the Columbia from source to sea-1,232 miles.
At the end of our first day on Thompson's Howse River route, Mick and I camped on a sponge cake of silt at the river's edge, the only level ground. Across the valley a glacier poured itself into a cataract. Conifers hugged the narrow walls beneath spires of gray rock —canine teeth snatching at the first star of evening. The summits burned gold, then merged into one dark shape, faintly etched by the northern lights. The river wove silver braids between bars of gravel, humming a timeless lullaby. We slept well.
Next day we walked to Howse Pass the way Thompson went, along Conway Creek. On the south side of the pass we found a faint depression holding a finger of crystal, intercepted a cupful of Pacific-bound water, and drank a toast to Thompson.

Season's Greetings from the Valley sports teams
It hasn't been the easiest of years as far as many of the Valley's pro teams are concerned. But for a few days, the players, coaches and members of the front office from each of the four respective teams (Arizona Diamondbacks, Arizona Cardinals, Phoenix Coyotes and Phoenix Suns) have a chance to sit back, relax and share some of their holiday wishes with fans.
Here's a sampling:
A very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of my @dbacks friends and family. Be safe, HEALTHY and happy.— Derrick Hall (@DHallDbacks) December 25, 2012

Hi there
I recently bought an AppleTV (And I love it)
I have one problem though - I dont have a flatscreen and I am not considering buying one in the near future. The tv dont have HDMI or Component so right now I am living without colors (It sucks)
I know that I can buy a converter like this or like this. But to be honest I would prefer not to spend 90 pound.
I have thought of another solution and I hope that someone can tell if it will work or not.
The thing is that I am about to buy a home theater system and I have read that it is sometimes possible to run the ATV through a home theater system if the system has HDMI IN (I guess HDMI OUT wont work). Is this true?

A person who follows another person around. They suck up to that person because the person's social standing is much higher than the catfish's. The catfish is often fat, unathletic, skinny with glasses, or just annoying to everyone around them.
Look at Sebastian following Ryan around, that kid is such a catfish

A girl most likely named Nadine. She spends most of her time online and that is the only life she has. Be cautious, everything she says is a lie. Deceptive to the core and a sociopath. She may seem genuine but trust me, it's a facade. Not to be trusted.
Beware of the catfish.

A simple man, with simple needs. He is honest, supportive, funny, caring, loving, handsome, gentle, cuddly, humble, and loves junk food. He can make you smile and laugh and he can take your breath away. He likes to play with your hair, kiss your forehead, hold your hand, and call you for no reason to talk about nothing for hours. There is no question when he looks at you, he looks straight into your soul and you know that he loves you unconditionally. He is the most amazing man in the world and every moment of my life would be better if I could spend it with him. He is my soul mate, my best friend, and my everything.
I love Catfish, he is my whole world.

A person that over eats. Their big mouth devours everything infront of them. After eating that excessive amount of food they are typically lethargic and have a swolen stomach and blank stare much like a catfish.
Bob- "Did you just see Jamie after she ate those two footlong philly cheese steaks and that large milkshake with extra whip cream!?"
Dan- "Yeah what a Catfish!!"
Dan- "Yeah what a Catfish!!"

Opposites Attract
Opposites Attract
Morgan Kirkwood is a former Olympic gymnast who brought home the gold for America during
the 1988 games in Seoul, South Korea. Between completing her floor exercises and working on the uneven bars, Morgan also managed to help the CIA release a political operative held in a Korean jail. She was only nineteen at the time.
When More Than Gold begins twelve years later, Morgan is living in anonymity in St. Louis. As the city prepares to host the Olympic games, a reporter unearths Morgan's location, writes a story about her and inadvertently puts her life in danger. Convinced that someone is following her and trying to kill her and Morgan issues a coded call to her contact in Washington, D.C. for help. When Jack Temple shows up on her doorstep, Morgan is more than a little apprehensive. She suspects that whoever is after her would likely send someone she knows to kill her and is immediately suspicious of Jack.
Morgan and Jack have met before...in Seoul. However, she was unaware at the time that Jack was a CIA agent working undercover as a coach of the U.S. swim team. A powerful attraction existed between them. It is still strong more than a decade later. And the six-year age difference between them is less formidable. However, Morgan has learned through life in the streets of Washington, DC as a homeless teen and later, during her brief stint in covert operations, not to trust anyone. Despite Jack's attempts to protect her, Morgan has activated her defenses.
More Than Gold is a powerful romantic suspense story that begins with breathtaking action. Morgan is no femme fatale and she has devised an escape plan that would do McGyver proud. The first third of the book is filled with fast-paced action as Jack and Morgan renew their relationship within a run for their lives from unknown pursuers.
Shirley Hailstock develops the romance between Jack and Morgan credibly. Both have misgivings about the uncertain future of their lives and their love. Less credible is the development of the heroine, whose finely honed instincts gradually begin to diminish in proportion to her growing relationship with the hero. In addition, several scenes forced me to suspend belief and to second-guess Morgan's actions.
More Than Gold contains several very strong plot twists, often lyrical prose, a secondary romance worth exploring and an interesting cast of supporting characters. Jacob Winston, head of the witness protection program in Hailstock's Whispers of Love, reprises his role in this novel.
If you enjoy romantic suspense and political intrigue More Than Gold is worth a look.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Some malls around the world have been scrambling to add security guards to look for suspicious people following a deadly attack on a shopping center in Nairobi over the weekend. But for other malls, it's been business as usual.
In this Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2013, file photo, a Kenyan soldier runs through a corridor on an upper floor, shortly before an explosion was heard, at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya. Shopping centers across the globe are adding guards and increasing security following the attack in Nairobi over the weekend. (AP Photo/Ben Curtis/File)

The mixed reactions by malls across the globe isn't unusual in an industry whose security efforts vary from unarmed guards in most shopping centers in the U.S. to metal detectors and bag searches in places like Israel to main entrances that resemble airport security lines in India.
The disparity offers a glimpse of why any moves following the Nairobi incident to increase mall security in countries that have less strict procedures aren't likely to last: The industry continues to struggle with how to keep shoppers safe without scaring them away.
"No one wants, when you go shopping, to be strip searched, to be interviewed in a room by a security guard," said Simon Bennett, director, Civil Safety and Security Unit at the University of Leicester in England. "That might be acceptable in aviation, but it is not in commercial retail."
Security concerns come after 12 to 15 militants from the Somali Islamic extremist group al-Shabab, wielding grenades, took control of the upscale Westgate mall in Nairobi. Terrorists held Kenya security forces for four days, killing at least 67 civilians and government troops and injuring 175 others.
The Kenyan government said Tuesday that the attackers were defeated, with several suspects killed or arrested. On Wednesday, FBI agents began fingerprint, DNA and ballistic analysis to help figure out the identities and nationalities of the victims and al-Shabab gunmen.
In the aftermath of the attack, security was tight at the Junction Mall in Nairobi. Two of three entry gates were locked shut. Cars were searched more carefully than usual, with guards looking in glove compartments. Two armed soldiers were stationed inside the mall and mall security guards who search patrons with metal detector wands at entry points said the soldiers had been deployed after the Westgate attack.
In the U.S., the International Council of Shopping Centers, a trade group of shopping centers representing about one third of retail space globally, said the U.S. government's Department of Homeland Security is reaching out to corporate security at all malls.
At the same time, the group said some of the malls in the U.S. and South Africa are beefing up private security personnel, while others are bringing in more off duty police officers. Mall of America, the biggest U.S. mall, added extra uniformed security officers and stepped up other measures, but officials at the Bloomington, Minn.-based mall declined to elaborate. "We will ... remain vigilant as we always do in similar situations," said Dan Jasper, a mall spokesman.
In general, U.S. malls focus on reacting to a shooting more than preventing one. Malls depend on private security personnel, most of whom don't carry guns, though they do work with local police. And while they're trained to look for suspicious behavior and report that to authorities, they're discouraged from intervening.
"Shoppers at this point perhaps don't have an appetite for extraordinary measures," said Kenneth Hamilton, executive vice president of IPC International, the largest provider of shopping center security of malls in the U.S.
Indeed, heightened security hasn't been welcomed in U.S. malls. The International Council of Shopping Centers spent $2 million to develop a terrorism training program after the Sept. 2001 terrorist attacks in the U.S. But surveys conducted by the group following the attacks show that people don't want to be subjected to metal detectors and bag searches at malls.

Truth & Rumors > NFL
John Elway is "mind-boggled" that Manti Te'o was fooled

06:56 PM ET 01.24 | Manti Te'o and the hoax he's so closely associated with is going to be a hot topic of debate come the NFL Draft Combine. Experts still aren't sure how the hoax will effect his draft stock this April, but any hope that Te'o can be a first-round pick seems to have gone out the window at this point. We've all heard what pundits and analysts have to say about Te'o's hoax but we've yet to hear from the voices that really matter when it comes to his future in the NFL. Executives and scouts haven't really been vocal about how they feel about Te'o. Part of that has to do with draft strategy but part of it also stems from most of the NFL still not knowing what to make of all this. Really, Te'o's going to be viewed one of two ways by scouts and executives. On the one hand, he'll be viewed as a con-man who deceived an entire nation for an entire season. On the other hand he'll be viewed as a naive fool who was duped by some college kid thousands of miles away from him. If Te'o is viewed as the con-man, as dark as it sounds, that takes some serious brains to achieve on the level he achieved it. But if he's viewed as the naive fool, that reflects poorly on his intellect and teams may not view him as smart enough to handle an NFL scheme.
Manti Te'o is an Academic All American at a school that offers no Phys Ed Degree (or any other "easy" path for athletes to get a degree). There is no question of his intellect. He certainlty appears to have been a "naive fool" in this episode but if he can demonstrate that he can play at the next level in the combines he will be drafted and probably pretty highly. Come on T & R, let's work a little harder in putting out threads to discuss. This one has been beaten to death...!
I say he was duped because he wanted to believe. Whoever took advantage of Manti's vulnureable naivete`is the real culpit.

The Manti Te'o story is getting stranger and stranger.
I am mind-boggled that the star linebacker of Notre Dame couldn't find a real girlfriend on campus.
His draft stock went down when he looked like a totally lost high-schooler against Alabama.

Well John Elway's ex wife was fooled into thinking he was a class human being.
His draft stock went down when he looked like a totally lost high-schooler against Alabama.
Maybe in your eyes but Alabama has made a lot of players look like that in the last few years. I see the NCG as a "non issue." It all comes down to the combines and how he grades out there. The NFL has been known to overlook some pretty serious "character flaws" if they think someone has what it takes.
I'm mind-boggled that Elway thinks HE won two Super Bowls. It was Terrell Davis, not Elway.
I'm just happy that Elway was "mind boggled". Couldn't happen to a better slime ball.

As a GM; are you going to risk your 1st round pick & millions of guaranteed dollars (and possibly your job) on this idiot? I think not; especially not in the first half of round 1. You can't waste your top picks. He has shown himself to be a buffoon; don't be surprised for more games down the road. Although; probably a good pick for the Cowboys or the Jets circus act.
John Elway = failed eugenesis experiment. One part of brain fully missing.

Neighborhoods: South Valley
Awesome Food – Our food came out on time and was prepared just right. I would recommend this place to a hungry person the portions are huge! Service as ok but the food made up for it! I
GOOD FOOD – The food is very good. I went there with some friends and truly enjoyed it. The waiters are very nice and make you feel right at home. I highly recommend this place.
Accommodating Staff – Dropped in with my two young children late Sunday afternoon. Kids had Margherita Pizza and Chicken Parmigiana and loved it, clean plates both.The days specials were well described, I opted for the Barramundi fish and was not disappointed.The appetizers were not too kid friendly but the kitchen rustled up some wonderful Bruschetta which my ravenous twosome devoured .The decor is warm and inviting and the atmosphere mirrors it. I can't wait to revisit with my wife for a cozy evening soiree.
Light Italian fare with friendly service – My colleague and I had a very pleasant mid-week lunch here. It was marked by attentive service, good food, and reasonable prices in a very friendly, neighborhood place.
Looks slightly run-down on the outside, but a very clean, pleasant interior.
Good service, bad food. – Nice atmosphere and service, but food is bland and over priced for quality. Sauces were not up to par and lacked flavor. The veal Osso Bucco with risotto was rushed and tasted more like a bland Irish stew with Rice. The Pollo Cipriani was also bland and low quality.
Someone say "Stake?!" – For my best friend's birthday I chose to take her to Tiramisu because I had read good things about it on CitySearch. I was able to make reservations a day in advance for a party of four on Friday night quite easily. When we arrived the atmosphere was very relaxing and mellow. We were able to have a conversation without music or noise drowning us out. When it came to food, I've never really liked red meat but the rib eye steak was delicious. I also tried the salmon filet,it was great too. One of our friends had linguine with mussels, she said it was wonderfully prepared.
The desserts were out of this world, we shared the special which was a chocolate roulette filled with a creamy-custard-y filling, the creme brulee and the tiramisu. Our time there was fantastic, everyone enjoyed themselves, the staff was very personable and helpful... Tiramisu didn't leave any room for dissatisfaction.
Great place, great environment, very romantic – This restaurant has the best Brocoli mint soup (Non-dairy) it is a must to try from the menu!!!
Fine italian Cuisine in the Valley – The thing about great Italian eateries is that the owners and staff treat each guest as if they were Family. My wife, daughters, and friends have been enjoying this restaurant for many years. Peter and his father have always embraced that Family feeling here which makes this my absolute favorite place to eat. The lasagna here is the best in town, and is my wife's favorite. I love everything from the creative appetizers, to the veal, seafood, and pastas. On my last visit the beet salad was delicious, as was the veal short ribs [osso buco style].
Try it for dinner with friends and family or for a romantic meal for two. I guarantee you will come back again and again.
Wonderful Dining Experience – We have dined at Il Tiramisu many times over the years. Peter and his Father have always greeted us like a member of the family. The wait staff is pleasant, knowledgable and subtly attentive. Most important, the chef is consistent in conjuring delicious Italian meals; from traditional pastas to unique specials such as trout wrapped in prosciutto.
The monthly wine dinners have developed a strong following. Here they pair wine with each course for a fixed price. A wonderful opportunity to taste new wines in a lovely restaurant atmosphere.
We have enjoyed dining at many restaurants in Los Angeles. Il Tiramisu is our favorite.
Awesome Place for Any Occasion – I love this restaurant. The service is always great. The Osso Buco is to die for. It is the perfect place for a special occasion or a date. I've been a loyal customer for years. Its a must try if you're in the area.

'Idol' Top 7 Recap: Competitors' Picks and Picking on JessicaLyndsey Parker at Reality Rocks10 hrs ago
This Wednesday on "American Idol," the unprecedented theme was "Competitors' Picks," meaning the top seven contestants chose songs for each other. The potential for sabotage was great, but everyone played nice. No one picked "Let's Get It On" for reluctant heartthrob Sam Woolf, or "My Humps" for stone-faced Jessica Meuse, or Justin Bieber's "Baby" for macho rocker Caleb Johnson, etc.
So I guess these kids really do like each other. If this theme had been introduced last season, the shadiest "Idol" season ever, it would have been a very different situation. I can only imagine with a shudder what Curtis Finch Jr. might have selected for Lazaro Arbos.
Truth be told, this current crop of contestants often showed better judgment choosing songs for each other than they have when choosing songs for themselves. "Idol" should consider having a "Competitors' Picks" theme every week. Overall, this was one of the best "Idol" episodes in a long time.
The Voice, The Day After: Season 6 Playoffs, Round 3 DishLyndsey Parker at Reality Rocks21 hrs ago
Last night, the "Voice" top 20 Playoffs concluded with the Team Usher semifinals, after weeks of battles, and now we finally have our top 12. Is it the best possible top 12 Season 6 could have had? Would it have been a better top 12 if America had had the chance to vote? These topics are up for debate.
And today to discuss all this and more is returning "The Day After" guest co-host Nic Hawk, who you may remember from his awesome "Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops!)" and "Blurred Lines" show-stoppers on "The Voice" last season. Come join the chat now!
The Thrill Is Gone? 'The Voice' Top 12 Revealed — With One Big Omission
"The Voice" Season 6 Playoffs wrapped Tuesday night with semifinals performances by Team Usher — meaning that now, finally , we have our top 12 headed to the Live Playoffs that begin next week.
It's a bit of a bummer, after so many weeks of Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, more Battle Rounds, and non-live Playoffs, that the live shows will only go on for five weeks — with double eliminations every week between now and the finale. But you know what else is a bummer? When Usher made his decision this Tuesday as to which three contestants to send to those live shows, he made one glaring omission.
[Related: Season 2's Jamar Rogers Dishes About the Season 6 Playoffs]
Sure, this was a tough call; with really no weak links on Usher's team, it was inevitable that he'd be sending home two great vocalists, even if he drew their names out of his raccoon hat. But maybe he should have pulled names out of a hat. Because then, maybe, Stevie Jo would have stayed.
Kris Allen on His Car Accident: "I Thought I'd Never Play Again"
For "American Idol" winner Kris Allen, the past couple of years have been more dramatic than an entire season's worth of elimination nights.
In 2012, he issued his second post-"Idol" album, "Thank You Camellia," only to receive little promotion and part ways with both 19 Management and RCA Records shortly after its release. Then in 2013, he experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows. He became a father, but he also shattered his wrist in a head-on car crash; after multiple wrist-fusion operations, he still has a limited range of motion that has affected his guitar playing.
But through it all, Kris has survived like the champion that he literally is.
"I remember the first time I looked at [my wrist], I said, 'I'll probably never be able to play again,'" Kris tells Yahoo Music. "But after three surgeries and playing with a cast on, over and over again, I figured it out. It's not the same way of playing, but I do play guitar, which is great. I'm glad that I'm still able to do that and write songs."
The Voice, The Day After: Season 6 Playoffs, Round 2 Dish with Jamar Rogers
Last night, the "Voice" top 20 Playoffs continued with Team Shakira and Team Adam's contestants. And today, "The Day After" has a very special guest, Season 2 "Voice" finalist Jamar Rogers, to discuss all of the performances.
Jamar is a very busy guy these days, what with his youth pastor work, touring, recording for Tommy Boy, hanging out with Bill Clinton, and wedding-planning. (Congrats, Jamar!) So "The Day After" is delighted and honored that he took time out his packed schedule to watch last night's "Voice" episode and share his thoughts today. Come check out our chat now!
Ex-Idol Danny Noriega Lip-Synchs Paula Abdul for Paula Abdul…in Full DragLyndsey Parker at Reality Rocks2 days ago
"American Idol" diehards surely recognize Danny Noriega as the hair-flipping, Simon-sass-talking Azusa teen from that show's Season 7. "RuPaul's Drag Race" diehards know him better as flawed-but-fabulous drag queen and self-described "punk-rock mermaid" Adore Delano. And when original "Idol" judge Paula Abdul guest-judged "Drag Raçe" this week, she recognized Danny/Adore right away, despite the fact that Adore was wearing a Hannibal Lechter-style mask, waist-length crimson wig, and enough jewerly to fill an entire new Paula Abdul QVC collection.
[Related: An Exclusive Interview With Danny Noriega]
At first I was upset that Adore was in the bottom two for the first time this season — almost as upset as I was when Danny sashayed away on "Idol" six years ago. But then I realized this was the perfect setup by those genius World of Wonder producers to get Adore to lip-synch a song by old pal Paula (the "most lip-synched artist in 'Drag Race' herstory"), and create some amazing TV.
'The Voice' Season 6 Playoffs, Round 2: Teams Adam & Shakira Are On the Edge of GloryLyndsey Parker at Reality Rocks2 days ago
"The Voice" Season 6 inched one episode closer to the long-delayed Live Playoffs this Tuesday, when the show staged its not -live Playoffs with Adam Levine and Shakira's semifinalists.
Ten singers sang, six singers advanced, two hours passed. Overall, this was a more compelling episode than last week's Team Blake Playoffs, and for the most part the right contestants made it through — with the possible exception of one promising newbie.
Let's get to the recapping, shall we?
Coachella 2014's Cutest Cameo? Beck's Mini-Me SonLyndsey Parker at Maximum Performance3 days ago
Southern California's Coachella Music & Arts Festival was a cameo-filled affair this year, with surprise appearances by everyone from Beyoncé, Gwen Stefani, and Mary J. Blige to Slash, Drake, and even Justin Bieber. But the cutest cameo of the weekend took place Sunday during Beck's Main Stage set, when he was joined by his adorable lookalike son, 10-year-old Cosimo.
Coachella '14 Sunday: The Cameos Keep Coming, From Blondie to BieberLyndsey Parker at Maximum Performance3 days ago
Call it "Cameochella." At this point, the special guests at Southern California's Coachella Music & Arts Festival generate more buzz than any of the actual official headliners. After Saturday featured surprise appearances by Beyoncé, Jay Z, Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg, and many others, the cameos kept coming on Sunday. Really, only at Coachella would Justin Bieber and Slash ever grace stages on the same field on the same day.

Coachella '14 Saturday: Beyoncé, Gwen Stefani Top Cameo-tastic LineupLyndsey Parker at Maximum Performance4 days ago
Saturday at Southern California's Coachella Music & Arts Festival boasted more cameos than a grandmother's jewelry box — led by Coachella's reigning, returning power couple, Beyoncé and Jay Z.
[Photo: Biggest Surprise Guests in Coachella History]
At Coachella 2010, when Jay Z headlined, Beyoncé performed a surprise duet with him on "Forever Young." This year, she kept it in the family — dashing out during her little sister Solange's Gobi Tent show to bust some adorable synchronized-sibling moves on Solange's hit "Losing You," as the crowd went predictably ballistic.

After installing a dual-sport Baja kit to my 2011 Yamaha WR450 and making the modification to the stock OEM stator, the OEM stator didn't last very long. So I chose the Trail Tech stator because of good reviews and I had purchased other Quality Trail Tech Dirt Bike Speedometers/Computers before, with good success. In the picture at this link you can see how much better the Tail Tech Stator is. Its the one of the right,. The Trail Tech is much beefier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xha0JmpI5Zg The real reason that I'm writing this review, is because after the Stator installation, a short was created . I finally located the problem in the original Baja kit. If you added a key switch, there is a blue wire between the Ignition Key (3 way plug) to the Middle harness (6 way plug). This wire caused the short. Note that the new Trail Tech stator comes with a Ignition Jumper which basically adds a single wire to the ignition from the new Trail Tech Regulator. So with the new Trail Tech Ignition wire installed and the blue wire mentioned above removed, the bike charges at a solid 13.7 volts. Even at a low idle and high beam on, it still charges at 12.5 volts or so. I also installed the Trail Tech Voyager GPS, which shows battery voltage and this is how I can monitor the performance of the new stator. The short described above caused me several hours of anguish and lots of 15A fuses. So I hope this helps you!Read All Reviews

Installed this plug to remove my keyed ignition (always thought it was in a weird place). Now just use the kill switch. Flip it on and nothing happens til you touch the starter button. Flip off and just the light stays on for a few seconds then shuts down. Super easy install and shave a few ounces.Read All Reviews

The KTM ignition map switch is a nice and easy way to access you bikes pre programed engine maps. I first used it as a safe way to brake in my engine by running map #2 which is a more tame engine curve. After the brake in period I started to try both maps on the different track I've been running on. Some people say that they don't notice the difference between the maps. But I can feel them very clearly! This is a great product. I only wish that this came equipped on the KTM's from factory cause its alittle pricey.Read All Reviews

The SEC and the Big 12 have agreed to a January bowl pairing, so can a college football scheduling arrangement be far behind? Dawg Sports examines how such pairings might work between two 14-member leagues.
Penn State's Bill O'Brien Wants To Bring Back The Kickoff Classic
Heading into the 2012 college football season, fans of the Georgia Bulldogs are most concerned about the depletion of the secondary. With Brandon Boykin gone and Bacarri Rambo suspended, to whom will the Bulldogs turn in the defensive backfield?
On Labor Day weekend, Atlanta will host the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game and DragonCon. Dawg Sports breaks down the college football matchup between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Boise State Broncos in terms of Frank Herbert's sci-fi masterpiece, "Dune."
Ladies and gentlemen, the opening college football game of the Georgia Bulldogs' 2011 season is upon us. Let that thought sink in for a moment. Feels good, doesn't it? This is your dedicated...
Kevan of OBNUG sent me some questions, which I answered. The words are mine, the pictures are his. Also, we made an agreement---he called it a wager; I, being a good Methodist and a good pessimist, didn't---that the proprietor of the SB Nation weblog whose team wins the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game will get to write a front-page posting to be published on the front page of the SB Nation weblog whose team loses the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. If Boise State wins, a posting of Kevan's will appear at Dawg Sports; if Georgia wins, a posting of mine will appear at OBNUG. Honestly, it's a win-win for Kevan, who knows I wouldn't rub it in if Georgia won, anyway. Go 'Dawgs!
NASCAR Nationwide Series driver (and Boise, Idaho, native) Brian Scott intends to drive a Boise State-themed car at Atlanta Motor Speedway on the day the Broncos face the Georgia Bulldogs in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game to start the college football season. Dawg Sports reacts . . . strongly.
In last Saturday's scrimmage, the Boise State Broncos did not appear sound in the kicking game, opening the door for the Georgia Bulldogs to gain an advantage in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic, as special teams could make the difference in the opening game of the 2011 college football season.
The countdown to the 2011 college football season is entering its final phase, and, between Chick-fil-A Spirit Day and the Nike Pro Combat uniforms, fans of the Georgia Bulldogs are getting fired up for the game against the Boise State Broncos.
The rumored expansion of the SEC is purely money-driven, which is why the Texas A&M Aggies are the hottest commodity among the targets for enlarging the toughest conference in college football. What other teams make financial sense for the league to consider, as well?

Nothing special. Looks to have great graphics.
If that's what the in game footage looks like I'm very impressed. We shall see.
Can't wait for the price drop in the 360
On a related note, this holiday season is gonna be expensive what with the myriad great games coming out
omg omg
half way through the trailer
do we play as a Russian dude ?
Looks good. Loved the faux-Los Angeles in San Andreas, and this faux-New York looks awesome.
Man...this is gonna be good!!!
It looks great but i doubt that it is actual gameplay footage in that video. However, it may be that its from the cinematic camera that is useless.
It's just a pretty Liberty City... doesn't look like a whole lot changed at all, besides the models... although, honestly that's probably for the best. The big rumor was, however, that this was going to be a Live title. The trailer sure as hell doesn't really support that at all, but... has anyone heard anything that does?

diving was the single most useless thing added to the CoD series o-o
Also you shouldnt take out the holding the breath thing for snipers because it makes sense and laying prone is actually so dumb in CoD, you cant move at all and usually unless you are laying in the middle of a field something will be in the way. It would be really silly if the only way to snipe someone you see while walking is to lay down because half the time if you lay down they will be gone, unless you are going to camp, lowering the mobility on snipers is also just going to make people lay prone in a corner in a bush or something which does not need to be encouraged any more, either that or NO one will use sniper rifles :/
I like the idea of limiting them to larger maps though, the only problem is how big would the map be before you can use a sniper, e.g. skidrow on MW2 wasnt that big but snipers could work quite well
