Great environment – There's no disputing that the restaurant looks really cool, and it's a great place to hang out with friends, and such, like you would in a traditional tapas bar in Spain. However, the food is really just okay. Do not go there expecting anything remotely authentic, though, as what they claim to be chorizo is actually Mexican chorizo, which is not even comparable to real Spanish chorizo. Also, the jamon serrano on the bocadillo was cut so thinly all you could note was the strange sauce spread on it. Overall, though, its a pretty cool little restaurant, which I'd recommend, as long as you are not looking for authentic Spanish tapas.
Love it – You may get a waitress that seems like she has no clue what she is doing more often than not, but the food is great, the patio is wonderful, and the atmosphere is awesome.
I will always return to La Bodega when I am in a tapas mood.
Not at all what it use to be – This place WAS as good as anything I've had in Spain... Then they changed chefs and things went down hill from there. It seemed every time we went, they had changed the menu item and it was always for the worst. We went for the last time the other day. Never again. Too bad, for this was our favorite place and we would go 2 or 3 times a week in the summer. RIP old friend!
Nice atmosphere, great location, fun food – Went for Happy Hour pricing (sangria & tapas 1/2 off til 6PM). I am glad I did. I suspect they were watering down the sangria a bit, but it was very good. Get the red over the white.
The paella is very tasty and meant to share. Will go back - during happy hour - again.
Traditional Spanish-inspired locale incorporates the tapas way of life. – In Short
In Spain, tapas represents the Spanish custom of placing a piece of bread over a glass of wine, signifying leisure and good humor. The wine is said to be the medium that holds the conversation with friends and food together. La Bodega does just that by offering an open-floor plan and fine wines. Popular entrees include the roasted red peppers stuffed with tuna and rice and the ham-wrapped dates filled with chorizo.
best restaurant in KC – best food in KC, and we haave been everywhere in town since moving here 7 years ago.
wineguybob – This is a great little place. Very hip Tapas bar with lively decor and a really terrific wine list. Try a Rioja Blanca or hearty Ribero del Duero. We arrived early while Happy Hour was in force and enjoyed both the food and wine for half price. Great place for a first date - lots to discover and talk about!
fantastic! – One of the hippest restaurants in kansas city! Food is incredible! I would recommend the chorizo stuffed calamari and the red sangria. The waitress was very nice and not pushy. Fun atmosphere...great for a date or a large group.
La Bootyega – It's pretty good. The food is excellent. If you really want to do the "tapas" thing, be prepared to shell out some major cash. It doesn't seem so pricey at first, but the tapas are quite small, and it would take a dozen to fill up.

Only one participant needs a Skype Premium account for group video calls.
Skype may charge VAT (value added tax) or other indirect taxes at the appropriate rate (as per applicable tax rule) at the time of Skype Credit purchase. The Luxembourg VAT rate of 15% generally applies if you are located in the EU and Skype products are purchased and used within the EU.
Local taxes may apply in certain countries.
Some territories in the EU are exempt from VAT under Council Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of VAT. The Skype website does not enable users in such territories to take advantage of this VAT exemption; therefore we do not provide Skype products in these territories.
You explicitly waive any right to VAT refund from Skype if the amount of VAT ultimately payable by Skype to the tax authorities is, for any reason, lower than the amount of VAT you were charged at the time of your purchase.
If VAT is not charged in your country, you will see a line in your order reading "VAT 0%".
If you use Skype in your business and would like to register your EU VAT code, we recommend that you sign up for Skype Manager™, where you can enter your VAT code and be exempt from paying VAT.

Dave Moroknek led MainGate to diversify and focus on its advantages
When Dave Moroknek first started nine years ago as president of MainGate Inc., the event retail and merchandising company had one customer, and that company accounted for 80 percent of its revenue.
Moroknek knew putting most of your eggs in one basket wasn't a safe thing to do. Not only could that practice punch holes in MainGate's business success, it could deliver a knockout blow if the main customer left or went broke.
This was Moroknek's chance to diversify MainGate. Before joining the company, he was senior director of marketing and consumer products for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He had also worked for the National Basketball Association where he increased licensed children's products from 2 to 10 percent of the overall NBA licensed products business. And he had begun his career in the marketing department of the New Jersey Nets basketball organization.
Moroknek, thus, was no stranger to exploiting a niche.
"Since then, we've gone on a major diversification program, so when we look to grow, we look to see what area might be lacking a little between our e-commerce business, our event business and our wholesale business," he says. "We want to make sure each of those represents about 33 percent of our revenue. We utilize that when we are sitting in there and discussing, 'OK, who are we going to pursue? What area of business?'
"That's not to say other opportunities may not pop up during those times that are still a good fit," says Moroknek, who a year later also became CEO. "But when we sit there and strategically plan where our next million dollars of revenue could come from, we try to see which one of those areas needs a little more of a boost to maintain that diversification."
But while that may sound a simple thing to do, there is much to do to accomplish it. The road takes you through discipline in your choices, company culture, technology advances and leadership development.
Here's how Moroknek takes advantage of his company's niche and builds success to the tune of $56 million in annual revenue.
Find what fits best
In finding an opportunity to grow and diversify, probably the most important strategy is having the ability and determination to say no when it's not the right opportunity. The temptation to add to your revenue may be hard to resist. But in doing so, you may be fragmenting your business when you want a strong, united presence instead.
"You could add to your top line by diversifying but it has to be core to what you are doing," Moroknek says. "Having the discipline to understand where you want to be and stay on that path while you are in the growth mode is one of the most important things you can do. It's just so important to stay on that strategic mission as you are going through that growth phase."
Discipline is not a case of being born with it or not; it's something you can learn.
"I think you can honestly learn it like anything else in business," he says. "You learn from your mistakes. If it sounds good, you take it on until you see it's pulling people in the wrong direction and it's being counterproductive to that vision you have of where you want to be.
"After a couple of those miscues, you learn discipline, and you realize it's OK to say no because the one thing you learned in business is that opportunities are bountiful. They are not limited."
You don't have to grab on to every opportunity that comes your way. There will be others.
"You have to make sure the business is right, the partner is right and it's going to be a good long-term program for you and the company you are partnering with because it has to be great for both parties," Moroknek says. "It's unfortunate that discipline is often learned after a couple of mistakes."
The road to discipline has to go through mistakes, but when these are chalked up as learning experiences, they take on a new light. Making good growth decisions comes easier with experience.
"A lot of it is intuition, however," he says. "When you sit in a presentation or you meet folks and talk to some of those business partners, I think you get a good feel if your companies can work well together."
When you work with a company that is one of your customers, it is in close partnership, so your visions are aligned in terms of what is the common goal for both entities.
"If those aren't aligned, I think both companies are better off walking away and finding someone who is a better fit for them philosophically," Moroknek says.
"You have to find that common goal, that common mission. If it's not syncing up, again, there is plenty of business out there. Find the one that's right for your company."
When reviewing potential partners, don't throw away all your work; it might be of use down the road.
"There have absolutely been those times when we said, 'You know what? We like where you guys are headed, but right now, the timing is not good for us; either you're not fully developed in your brand or we just took on another really major big brand, and we don't want to bring you on and make you feel like you're not our most important customer,'" Moroknek says.
"So don't do something that's going to hurt what you've already developed by not giving the customer the service you've come to be known to offer.
"You learn from mistakes like those; sometimes saying no is going to grow your company faster than saying yes."
Stay on top in your niche
Once your company has become a leader in your niche, that edge can be easily lost. Knowing your niche and remembering the core principle that brings you sales are important for success.
"We impress upon our associates that we can never lose sight that we don't sell anything anybody needs," Moroknek says. "So we better make sure they want it.
"If you look at the businesses we're in — for the most part, the entertainment and sports industry — these people are choosing to spend their disposable time going to a sporting event, shopping for that item online or spending their weekends or nights with us. We need to be part of that entertainment package, and we need to make sure they're having fun and that we can get them to spend their hard-earned money on something that, again, they don't need.
"You have to make it look good. You have to make it seem like a fair value, and you have to make them have fun while they are shopping with you."
Fun on the job doesn't happen spontaneously. It appears that way, but it takes a commitment to happen.
"We have a whole program that is instilled from the day you walk in here called TCE, total customer experience," he says. "It deals with everything the customers see, feel and touch during their entire interaction. If you're a fan going to a football game, we might get 10 minutes with you while you are shopping in one of our stores — but we make sure our employees have fun facts they can share with the masses shopping."
Most everyone likes to know some interesting trivia. Those little bits of knowledge that are footnotes in sports and entertainment can be like gold.
"Like, 'Hey! This is the hat that Andrew Luck is going to wear this year,'" Moroknek says. "Or, 'Hey! Did you see that this is the shirt that Reggie Wayne wore at the press conference?'"
So how do you get them to spend and still walk out with a smile on their face?
"It's everything from the music that's playing to the clean atmosphere to the friendly nature of your customer service people," he says. "You want to be helpful; you don't want to be overbearing. Customer service is where the core values of your company are on stage. Show them you offer the best customer service in the industry."
Word of mouth is by far the best marketing tool you have, and your goal is to maximize that to its fullest. Take, for example, phone orders.
"You can even hear somebody smile on the other end of the phone. You know when they are in a good mood or not in a good mood," he says.
Another key to staying on top of your niche is investing in technology. In today's economy, not investing in technology can bring about serious setbacks.
"We're investing a lot of money in not only technology for our e-commerce system, which is the fastest growing part of our business, but for how we transact sales faster inside a stadium, how we do things better on mobile applications, how we take orders on tablets and iPhones — all the things that continue to change in the world have a very strong application to our business," Moroknek says.
"You need to have a very strong technology group, a very strong e-commerce group that's challenged every day to find out what is the next thing and make sure you are ahead of the curve and not behind it," he says.
Develop your leaders of tomorrow
If you are a niche business, it's not like you can go to any street corner and find a great candidate to be one of your managers. You're looking for specialized skills. A better source is to look internally, find the talent and develop its leadership qualities.
"Part of your business strategy and planning is to make sure you have succession and growth plans where your people can step up," Moroknek says.
"One of the great things about our base of 242 employees is we are constantly filling leadership positions, showing them growth as we grow, and that they have a chance to step up. We spend a great deal of time with our middle management team, training and developing them so when a new piece of business comes on board, they are really ready and trained to step up to that management role."
One of the more effective methods is to choose a select group of middle managers and train them in all areas of the company so that they will get a comprehensive background.
"We have a corporate trainer who handles the majority of the training, but then we have special disciplines," he says. "There's a person appointed in each area of expertise to assist those individuals and help them grow into the roles and have the experience we want them to have to be well-rounded managers."
It's the role of the executive leadership to make sure the managers are on the same page.
"We are very hands-on with our directors and meet with them on a weekly basis not only from an operational standpoint but also as to how are they fitting in, what challenges are they seeing," he says. "We really try to create a mentoring and coaching program for those business leaders."
One caveat, however, your managers may feel they are being overwhelmed by such a comprehensive training program.
"What you have to do is instill a culture that makes them feel their work right now will pay off in the long run and that they are getting more opportunities to do more things early in their career than they would have with most companies because you are growing so rapidly," Moroknek says.
"You see the cream rise to the top in a lot of those situations. It's easy to pick out who are your future leaders. You have to be very cognizant of not making it an unreasonable workload. The thing I was always taught was that you always tend to rely on the people who you think of as stars and you wind up letting the non-stars get away with more. So you have to make sure everybody is an equal playing field and feels just as important."
What may be the toughest challenge to leveling the playing field as you are growing is to enlist your managers as agents of change.
"You've got to be flexible and teach your people not to be afraid of change," he says. "So many people are afraid of change, and growth is scary because it is ever-changing and evolving. Adapting to a culture that change is good, that we are going to make mistakes but we are going to learn from them along the way, being flexible, making the best decisions possible and sticking to your long-term strategy of knowing where you want to be – that's how things are going to turn out OK. So, absolutely, not only do you not want them to be afraid of change, you want your people to be change agents."

The Moroknek File
Dave Moroknek
President and CEO
MainGate Inc.
Born: Suffern, N.Y. It's in Rockland County about 30 miles from the George Washington Bridge.
Education: Undergraduate degree from Hartwick College, Oneonta, N.Y., and I actually wound up going to graduate school at Indiana University. I studied business administration, and received an MBA in sports marketing from IU.
What was your first job?
I remember it well. I had a shoe-shining business. I used to go door-to-door with my shoe-shining kit, and then I would set up shop outside the Thrift Drug Store and shine shoes for people who were coming out of the store. I charged $1. It absolutely was the beginnings of being an entrepreneur, understanding the customer and just going after business.
Who do you admire in business?
There are a lot of people I admire. I think the person I tried to learn the most from was my father, Stan Moroknek. He owned the Thrift Drug Store. It was kind of a neighborhood pharmacy for all the years when I grew up. He taught me many lessons, but two were most valuable: the first one was just to work hard. The hours that he put in were incredible, running his own business, his own pharmacy. Along with that was customer service. My dad knew 80 percent of the people who came into his store. He knew their spouses, their kids. He knew what medications they were on. But the thing that really stands out to me, this was before the day of the 24-hour pharmacy, is at least once a week, my dad would get a call at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning — some family had just left the hospital and their kid needed a cough medicine or something. My father would open the store and get that family the medication. From a business perspective, from a customer service perspective, from caring about people and hard work, that will never, ever fade in my memory.
What's the best advice you ever received?
I think the other best advice I got besides that from my father was from someone who once told me, and I tried to live up to, to surround myself with people who were better and smarter than I was. And don't be afraid to let them be the success that they can be. I've really taken that to heart.
What's your definition of business success?
I would define business success as the growth enthusiasm of each of our team members. If each of our team members is enthusiastic and growing and successful, then our company is going to be successful. So I do my job as I give everyone the tools they need to be successful. I guide them along the way, and then at the end of the day, it's going to roll up into one big success story.

Wolves 0
City 2
Nimely 13, Poole 70
- Match reports
- 04 April 2011 21:38
- Posted by David Clayton
City's Elite Development Squad enjoyed perhaps their most impressive win of the season with a 2-0 win away to a very strong Wolverhampton Wanderers Reserves.
Goals from Alex Tchuimeni-Nimely and James Poole - both returning from lengthy spells out with injury - proved enough to see off a team that included Stephen Hunt, Michael Kightly, Dave Jones, Jody Craddock and Michael Mancienne.
Worryingly, Nimely seemed to pull up just past the half hour and was replaced by Jeremy Helan, though it's too early to say if the Liberian striker's injury jinx has struck yet again.
It was Nimely who gave the Blues the lead on 13 minutes with a chance created out of his own making and one he finished with aplomb as City looked to return to the top of their group in the Barclays Reserve League North.
Abdi Ibrahim almost doubled City's lead on half-time but was denied by a last-ditch block, but Poole did put the game beyond the hosts, knocking home Helan's cross on 70 minutes to seal an excellent away win for Andy Welsh's men.

This week's UEFA Super Cup match is no journey into the unknown for Petr Cech and Andre Schurrle, the two Chelsea players who spoke to the media ahead of tomorrow's game in Prague.
Not only is the match to be played in a city where the Chelsea goalkeeper once played his club football, and in a stadium where he represents his nation with the Czech side, it is against opposition Cech helped beat so memorably two seasons ago. He now faces them in a fixture he competed in a year ago against different opposition.
For German international Schurrle, freshly signed from the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich are certainly nothing new either.
'I am really looking forward to this match, and of course I am familiar with most members of the Bayern Munich team and some are friends,' confirmed Schurrle.
'The Super Cup this year has taken on a special flair and we are eager to win this title.'
Bayern's summer addition Mario Gotze is someone Schurrle knows especially well although their communication in the last week has been limited to a few text messages as both focus on the contest ahead. They are settling in at their new clubs and Schurrle reported on his early impressions of Chelsea.
'I can only say positive things. The first weeks have been excellent, I am fully integrated into the team and everything seemed to slide into place. We are playing at a good level and it is thumbs up all round.
'The manager works very closely with the whole squad and there are many training sessions when he actively expresses to the players the concept he wants us to play. He can be very stern but at the same time he has a sense of humour.'
Cech said: 'Playing in Prague is special but playing in Prague as a neutral venue is something different,' before recalling his last encounter with Bayern, on a night when he was one of the main heroes.
'You play Super Cups and finals and Champions League and Europa League to win, and in 2012 we managed to beat Bayern on their home soil and it was an unbelievable moment for all of us and the same last year, it was the first time Chelsea were involved in the Europa League and we managed to win it. We are glad after the Super Cup of last year when we didn't play well and rightly lost against Atletico Madrid that we have another chance.
'We are one of the favourites to win the Champions League, with the new coach and the motivation, but first we want to forget about last year's Super Cup and have a different story this time.'
Schurrle, who played as Chelsea's most forward player at Manchester United on Monday, was asked the last time he played such a role, and if he has any concerns about Chelsea added new attacking players to the squad this week. His answer was a definite no.
'We have a good squad and need a big one with much quality for the season because we have so many games and so many competitions. For every player this is good because when you have many players you have to give your best in every training session and every match, and that is only positive for the team.
'I played there a couple times for Leverkusen,' he recalled on the striker role. 'In the games you change positions and it was nothing new for me and I knew what to do, so it was fully okay.'

Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice® Pepperoni Pizza Garland (Crochet)
There's only one thing that comes to my mind when I think of college, new adventures and dorm life: PIZZA. This crocheted pepperoni pizza garland is a colorful and festive dorm room decoration for walls, windows or doorways, and it's really easy to make as long or short as you want. I love garlands as a statement of celebration for every day. Give a home-away-from-home a bright, playful and cozy touch with these tasty slices!
Twinkie Chan is a crochet designer from San Francisco with an insatiable appetite for creating fun, food-themed accessories. Since she launched her website in 2005 with a dozen scrumptious scarves, her unique work has been featured online, in print, on television and in art shows. Inspired by the high demand from her fans for her crochet patterns, she published her first book, "Twinkie Chan's Crochet Goodies for Fashion Foodies: 20 Yummy Treats To Wear," in 2010.
Material List
- Crochet Hook, Size H/5.0mm
- Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice® Yarn – Duckie (15 Yds./ Slice; 90 Yds. for Garland), Scarlet (3 Yds./ Slice; 18 Yds. for Entire Garland), Honey (8 Yds./ Slice; 48 Yds. for Entire Garland) and White (10 Yds.)
- Caron® Simply Soft® Yarn – Autumn Red (9 Yds./ Slice; 54 Yds. for Entire Garland)
- Scissors (or Yarn Cutter)
- Tapestry Needle
Project Instructions
Gauge: Gauge is not very important in this project. The pizza slices in the image measure approximately 5½" across the widest point and 7" tall.
Note: The creator used a particular method to increase stitches in the pizza slice in order to make the edges of her work super straight and clean, but as long as you increase Rows 1-15 by 1 stitch per each row, your garland will still look fine. Pizza Slice – 6 are shown, but you can adjust to your preference.
Cheese: With Duckie, ch 3.
Row 1: Sk 1st 2 chs, 1 hdc in last ch. (1)
Row 2: Ch 2, turn. Work 2 hdc evenly. Your last hdc is worked in the top of the ch 2 from the previous row. You will continue to work this way for Rows 3-15. (2) See Photo 1.
Row 3: Ch 2, turn. 3 hdc. (3)
Row 4: Ch 2, turn. 4 hdc. (4)
Row 5: Ch 2, turn. 5 hdc. (5)
Row 6: Ch 2, turn. 6 hdc. (6)
Row 7: Ch 2, turn. 7 hdc. (7)
Row 8: Ch 2, turn. 8 hdc. (8)
Row 9: Ch 2, turn. 9 hdc. (9)
Row 10: Ch 2, turn. 10 hdc. (10)
Row 11: Ch 2, turn. 11 hdc. (11)
Row 12: Ch 2, turn. 12 hdc. (12)
Row 13: Ch 2, turn. 13 hdc. (13)
Row 14: Ch 2, turn. 14 hdc. (14)
Row 15: Ch 2, turn. 15 hdc. (15)
Row 16: Ch 1, turn. [1 sc, sk 1, 4 dc in next st, sk 1, 1 sc] Repeat 3 times. (18) Break off Duckie and join Scarlet.
Sauce: With Scarlet
Row 17: With Scarlet, ch 3, turn. Ch 3 counts as 1 dc, but still start row in the 1st stitch. [1 dc, 1 hdc, 2 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc] 3 times. Work one more dc in last st. (20) Break off Scarlet and join Honey.
Crust: With Honey
Rows 18 - 20: With Honey, ch 2, turn. Work hdc evenly across. (20) Break off Honey. Weave in all ends. (See Photo 2.)
Pepperoni – I made 18 (3 for each Pizza Slice), but you can adjust to your preference.
With Autumn Red
Make magic ring or ch 3 and sl st to 1 stch to form ring. Rnd 1: Ch 2 (does not count as 1st stitch), work 13 dc into ring. Sl st to 1st dc to join. Break off, leaving 18 inches of yarn for sewing.
Step 1 Weave in and trim the yarn tail from the center of each Pepperoni. With right sides of Pepperoni facing you, and right side of the last row of pizza crust facing you, sew 3 Pepperoni to each Pizza Slice in various arrangements.
Step 2 With White (or whatever color you choose to string your pizza slices), ch 10 tightly and sl st to 1 stch to form a loop for hanging the garland. Then ch 30 tightly. Pick up a Pizza Slice and work 20 sc across the top of the slice with the Pepperoni facing you. Ch 3 tightly. (See Photo 3.)
[Pick up the next Pizza slice and work 20 sc across the top with the Pepperoni facing you. Ch 3 tightly.] Repeat until you run out of pizza slices. Then ch 30 tightly again. Continue to ch 10 more, then sk 9 chs and sl st into 10th ch to form another loop and break off. Weave in all ends.
ch(s) = chain(s)
dc = double crochet
hdc = half double crochet
rnd(s) = round(s)
sc = single crochet
sk = skip sl
st = slip stitch
st(s) = stitch(es)
YO = yarn over
[ ] = repeat what is inside the brackets the number of times indicated

Our intern checks out the coolest fashion show to take place in a church basement
Welcome to Église Pop—AKA the basement of the most bangin' church in Montreal.
Expectations: In the days of yore, before I found myself interning at WORN, I was able to build many misconceptions about fashion and its industry. Hearing that Montreal's Fashion Pop included a runway show had me believe I was entering some absurd world populated by that type of human seen primarily on America's Next Top Model. Coming to fashion from an academic background, I was worried I'd feel awkward and out of place.
Forgive me, for I have sinned. Fashion POP is anything but your run of the mill runway romp.
Fashion Pop winner Christine Charlebois revelling in her victory
Reality: I was pretty surprised to find my nervous, fashion show virgin self back in the basement of the French Catholic church where I had downed vodka and Red Bull and danced until 4 a.m. while Peaches spun records in a giant titty-covered leotard only a few nights before. (Those of you dying to ask Is the Pop Catholic? I'll have you know the event is totally secular. Also: shush.)
There was no snobbery at Fashion Pop—just cheap beer, house wine, and a good old-fashioned survival of the fittest competition.
This, I could handle.
Fashion Pop designer Marie Darsigny.

I worked at Alcatel-Lucent full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Great benefits package, proud heritage - Bell Labs, great team & flexible schedule, still has the innovation humming but on a back burner.
Cons – Cheaper overseas competition & foreign government supported companies has taken its toll on the business. The North American & European economic struggles are certainly not helping. The industry & company continues to struggle ever since the telecom bubble burst in early 2000s.
Advice to Senior Management – The number of employees left is the lowest it can go. Invest heavily in the next generation changing technology and own & protect it- innovation is the key to break out of the downward spiral OR acquire enterprise business competitor OR sell the enterprise business.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Bellevue >Special Trade Contractors > Electro Serve
13300 Se 30th St Ste 105, Bellevue, WA | Directions 9800547.584402 -122.163286
Neighborhoods: Woodbridge
NICE – If you're looking for a good company with reasonable pricing and wonderful customer service, this is the company to call. I called them out regarding my Wall Heaters that were smoking. Due too the response time from Electro Serve I was able to get my problem fixed and fast. A+ in my book.
NICE JOB – I called them out to my home to repair the hall way light switch which was not working. I booked a express appointment which they showed up in a hour like the lady on the phone said. They advised me that there was to many things on one circuit, and that it would be best if I got a new one installed. Great Job!
Great Job!. – The work that was done, was done to my satisfaction. The guys from this company are very nice fast and respectful. They cleaned up once they were done left me with a receipt so that I know how much I spent and what was all done and the cause of the issue. Having your meter and mass ripped of the side of your house is not a pretty site.
Job well done! – They replaced my kitchen light for me. My ceiling was too high for me to reach and they did it at a reasonable price. I can't complain with the work and I even signed up for an agreement where they come out once a year and check my panel and all the electrical throughout my home. This make me feel safe! Great job!
Best Electricians! – This is an excellent company to use. They always show up promptly to do the work and get the job done in a timely manner. I have used Them several times for my Plumbing, heating, and electrical needs. The workers are always extremely knowledgeable, and whenever calling the office, the staff are always polite and helpful. I have reccomended Them to all of my friends and family, and those who have already used them, have agreed. I would highly reccomend using this company!
Job Done Right – Great work. Needed a 3 way switch installed and a faulty outlet checked. I had a tight schedule & wanted a specific time. Other companies gave me a 6 hr time slot what a waste of a day. Technician was thorough, and on time. He had all the parts with him to do the job. Will definitely use them in the future.
By the way I was posting this tonight because I was so pleased with their work...I was rather surprised at the negative feed back I just read. My experience was nothing like that at all! The tech was professional, he had a set guide for their prices. I have had service work before and well it has never been cheap, I felt I paid a fair price and was very impressed with the work, the electrician and the fact that it is done! Now ask me about a certain tree removal company that charged me even though they "forgot" to remove the two dead trees that I had them come out to do in the first place...
The work performed was great!!!! – the worked performed by Electro Serves technician was Great. He cleaned his mess up, he wore shoe covers, and he helped me undestand why i even had this issue in the first place and what i need to do to prevent it from happen again. there is work which I'm going to have done in the summer and they will be my # one pick.
Promt Service. – The Technician had the most pleasent attitude ever. He did a very good job, he came in and fixed it right up with no problems. I even requested him as my person electrician for any additonal work we have in the future.
Electro Serve Technician was very polite, well mannered and clean which is very likley for some company's.
the work performed is perfect.
Well job done!!!!
Recommendation is a Plus – Fantastic job done!!!!! They were in and out, clean and very professional. I have not had any issues since then and I'm very Pleased.

The beer poured into the chalice clear ruby garnet with just a lightly pinkish hue head which barely formed but did make an attempt to lace the glass.
The aroma was sweet with a strong cherry presence and a lightly tart acidic character in the background. The aroma also had a lightly earthy nature.
The flavor was tart and refreshing with a slight bit of sweetness that was by no means overdone and a tart and crisp character that was just a bit husky. The beer was not hardly sour at all and only had a mild tartness at best. The cherry flavor was very strong and worked well with what sour presence was notable.
The finish was even with a moderate cherry flavor into the aftertaste and just a very slight tartness. The body was medium light with a carbonation high enough to let the flavors prickle the palate. The beer did not have much complexity but was quite a refreshing beverage.
12 ounce can, purchased at grocery store in Brussels and brought back to the US to give it a whirl. 4% ABV on can.

This brew is pretty popular in cans in belgium (along with belle-vue). This stuff has the aromas of artificial cherries and sugar. The taste is basically the same. This is like alcoholic cherry juice. The mouthfeel is thin and almost non-existant. The drinkability is OK, and for the price (75 euro cents a can) one can't complain. The Belgian street-drunks favorite kriek!

Pours dark ruby, fluffy one finger head. Sticky lacing later on.
Smells really nice, sweet cherries, fruit pit, candy sugar, spices, some low floral notes.
Quite sweet (not syrupy) and fruity, but without feeling artificial. Sweet and bitter cherries, forest berries, red apple peel, not too much lemon zest. Not as sour as the "Retro Kriek", lower lambic elements too. Still tart enough. Spicy, reminding somehow of almond/amaretto and cinnamon. Low bitterness, wheat in the aftertaste.
A bit soda fizzy, but it's crisp and refreshing, just sweet enough, without lingering unpleasantly in the aftertaste.
Pretty good beer actually, made me think of cherry cake. Not such an interesting "lambic" tho.

Pours a very deep ruby color. No head. Lots of carbonation bubbles rising.
Nose is a bit salty. Barnyard funk. Sweat. Maybe a hint of fruit but not much.
Taste is tart and funky. Light cherry taste towards the middle and end. Super refreshing.
High carbonation. Thin but not watery.
Would drink again but nothing to seek out. Was hoping for a bigger cherry flavor here.

Excellent head that sticks around. Some spots for lace. Cloudy plum-red color.
Mild aroma, especially given the taste.
Extremely tart. The bottle says the brew is 40% cherries. Based on the taste, I'd say they're baking cherries. There is no sweetness to this brew. My host felt the beer was "green".

while some sweet/fruity beer lovers might get off on this, I found it a little over the top in many ways. the pour is a hazy pale red color, like muted strawberry jam, with a minimal head and nose of candied cherries. I don't pick up any yeasty tartness that I expect in an authentic lambic, and frankly the fruit seems artificial to me. the taste is all sugar, like Swedish fish or something, its pure sugar without the flavor of real cherries really being there at all. I have had some other timmermans lambics, and I think this is by far my least favorite. carbonation is fine and the body is light, but the sugar is so intense that a whole bottle of this would be near impossible for me, and my teeth hurt after just a few drinks. its bordering on not being a beer in a lot of ways. There are many superior versions out there if you are looking for a more authentic and less diabetic kriek.

This pours a reddish color with a slightly pink head. The aroma is mostly that of sweet cherries. The taste is sweet with cherries and slightly fizzy in texture. This is smooth, fruity, and refreshing. As far as fruit lambics go, this is kind of average but it's still very good.

Produced 25/31/11
(Served in a chalice)
A- The deep auburn body is slightly dense with a thin white film that is popping away but supported by a strong carbonation of microbubbles.
S- The aroma of cherry cough syrup has a dark bing cherry aroma to it and as it opens the aroma gets less offensively sweet.
T- The flavor is better than the nose with dark bing cherries being mellow with the sweetness cut back and the fizz helping to cut the finish. The cherry sweetness coats the tongue after each sip.
M- The medium-light mouthfeel has a scrubbing fizz that helps cut down the sweetness but no alcohol heat to help.
O- This reminds me of a good ice cream flavor there is a bit of sweetness but some depth to the cherry flavor makes it taste like real dark bing cherries. The fizz helps out in cutting down the sweetness but it still coats the tongue.

Timmermans Kriek
2011 bottle , lists ABV at 4.0%
LOOK: Pours a deep pinkish red, ok clarity, short lived head that recedes to a ring around the edges.
SMELL: Sweet cherry syrup, a hint of musty yeast. Cherry fruit snacks.
TASTE: Mainly sweet, mildly sour ale with cherry flavoring. Has small notes of citrus and very lightly bitter, finishes sweet and sour and a bit like cherry pie filling. Just sour enough to add that dimension to the beer.
FEEL: Light bodied, spritzy carbonation, not really dry at all. Some fruit flavor stays in the finish.
OVERALL: A semi-sweet massly accessible brew from Timmermans. It's sour, but not extremely so, which is what separates the cream from the crop. Average.

Got this has a gift from my mom for the holiday, chilled it a bit and poured her and myself a glass yesterday afternoon. The beer poured out as a nice looking reddish purple color with a very soft pinkish white head on top. The retention and lacing were very impressive on this. The smell is of medicinal cherry... not the greatest aroma of cherries I've come across in a beer in my opinion. The taste is also a bit on the medicinal side and is a bit on the sweet side as well. It definitely tastes like cherries though. The mouthfeel of the beer is thin, highly carbonated and a little on the cloying side. Overall it's doesn't taste natural to me, it's a bit on the artificial side which is common in most cases with Timmermans. It's a decent brew but not one I would ask for or purchase again.

I find this to be a very good kriek lambic, far better than their strawberry or raspberry, but then I do usually like krieks more.
Red, it has a small pink head slowly shrinking to foamy ring and a few wisps.
Aroma is nice cherry, hint of cherry brandy and cherry candy and medicine, rustic funky yeasty hint.
Taste is nice, firm cherry character, but not too sweet, thankfully, although it leans slightly to the sweet side. It has a hint of rustic lambic character underneath - firm but still not enough for my tastes. It has a nice light acidic element. It's very good and enjoyable, with at least some rustic lambic character noticeable to round out the fruit, but it needs more and more depth. The problems it suffers, though, are all too common to fruit lambics (or "American wild ales," too), which to me rarely have enough flavour, especially in the funky/rustic/yeasty department, making this overall far better than most.

A: Pours a slightly hazy very dark rose to ruby in color with moderate amounts of visible carbonation. The beer has a finger tall fizzy pinkish white head that reduces to medium sized patch of large bubbles and a very thin film covering the majority of the surface of the beer with a slightly thicker ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: The smell of this beer is both sweet yet tart with a heavy dosage of cherries - slightly medicinal.
T: There is a light amount of cherry sweetness upfront but the dominant flavor is that of slightly tart yet medicinal cherry.
M: Light bodied with moderate to heavy amounts of carbonation. Very slightly prickly from the acidity.
O: Slightly too medicinal in flavor to be really enjoyable or easy to drink for me. Not the best example of a cherry lambic but certainly not the worst.

A: The beer is hazy dark rosé in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a half finger high dense pink head that died down but never completely faded away, leaving a large patch of bubbles on the surface, a collar around the edge and lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: There are moderately strong aromas of cherries in the nose—it's not the sweet type of smell you would expect from a lambic but instead smells like a cherry cough drop.
T: The overall taste follows the smell and has an interesting resemblance to the flavors you get when sucking on a cherry cough drop. No sweetness is detectable.
M: It feels light-bodied and slightly tart on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is easy to drink, but the cough drop flavors are somewhat detracting and remind me of having a cold.

150th review! Well let's try something special - a lambic Kriek (cherry). Lambic beers are an interesting lot as they are brewed with wild yeasts and bacteria that float around in Belgian beer cellars. The environment has to be just right to avoid nasty contamination from unwanted bacteria, in fact the yeast that is used in the brewing of lambics 'Brettanomyces' is actually a spoilage yeast in the wine industry.
Poured from a 330ml bottle into a St Feuillien chalice.
A: The body is a slight cloudy pomegranate with minimal white with a pink hue lacing.
S: Dark candied morello cherries hit the nose straight away, followed by vanilla sugar. There's no denying the sweetness is cloying in the aroma, let's hope for something more in the first taste.
T: Fairly tart straight off the bat. There's an aftertaste of sweet cherries and a mineral water taste overall, but otherwise that is it. Not overly complex like a Trappist brew, however it's nice for a change of pace (if you're looking for one).
M: Little bit watery with the body and with a typical dense Belgian fizz to the carbonation as well.
D: This gets more cough medicine taste as the glass empties. Not really impressed at all, I tried one other Kriek before (which was the Belle Vue Kriek) and it was better... much better as I recall. Give it a try if you're new to the world of lambics and you want a cheap Kriek, but otherwise I would avoid this one.
Food match: Cherry pie... couldn't help myself.

Hazy brownish-red appearance. Pours with a finger of pink foam that retains well.
Nose is intensely sweet, bordering on cough syrup. It's pretty much one-dimensional, and that dimension is sweet cherry. There's nothing in the way of funk or sourness.
The palate, likewise is pretty much straight sweet cherry juice with the slightest trace of tartness in the finish. It's an extremely sweet beer from start to finish, with no depth to speak of. The body is on the thin side and there's a strange void of flavor after the initial blast of sugar. Not exactly offensive, but nothing I'd care to drink again.

Timmerman's Kriek 11.2oz bottle; dated 01/25/11. Poured into a tulip glass.
Pours a hazy, plummy purple-red with a thin ring of head. The body looks red-brown without a light backdrop. 3.5
Smells like tart cherry soda with some faint vanilla and general acidity. Like a sour Grenadine or like Jones Black Cherry Soda. Incredibly sweet-smelling, in mostly a good way. 3.5
Tart cherry dominant with syrupy sweetness and some matching bitterness. Has a tiny little pucker note that's more of a dry gum feel even though this beer is pretty sugary. There's also a prominent apple juice note that I feel is the direct contributor to all of the sweetness. The cherry character is better than the aroma, but this lambic could use some complexity or even an acetic acid character (I know, this is not a Flemish Ale). Fruit-forward with no funk and the tartness is held in-check. 3.5
Sticky sweet and a little too persistent with carbonation. The body is thin, but tacky, like fruit juice. Not as refreshing as I'd like. 3.5
I still like these kinds of fruit-lambics, and I recall Lindemans Kriek as having a far more oppressive sweetness than this Timmerman's example. Not everything can be close to Cantillon or Drie Fonteinen. A decent Kriek, worth trying the other fruit lambics in their line. 3.5

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Poured from 330mL bottle into a tulip. Bottle label reads 4% ABV rather than the above-noted 4.5%.
Appearance: dark, rich red hue with a thick finger of frothy pink foam. I like the deep color of this, compared to the candy-red of some other krieks I've seen.
Smell: nice aroma of cherries and a hint of sour beer underneath. I will admit that the aroma seems pretty candylike, but I have a bit of a weak spot for sweet cherry beers. It might not be to everyone's taste, but I like it.
Taste: a light tartness complements the cherry very well, and the flavor is much less candylike than the aroma. Sweet with a lightly sour complexity makes this a very tasty, if not exactly sessionable, beer.
Mouthfeel: medium-light body with a good level of carbonation and resulting decent creaminess. I like it.
Overall: this is a tasty and satisfying cherry beer. A bit on the sweet side, but that's OK once in a while, eh?

Reviewed from session notes.
A. Clear deep ruby color with a thirty second two finger pink head that leaves behind respectable lacing.
S. Acidic black cherry soda aroma with just the tiniest amount of soured smell hiding in the background. I was hoping for something with a bit more sour power.
T. The flavor is also far too close to sweet black cherry soda, with none of the funk nor any of the sourness promised (very half-heartedly promised, mind you) by the nose. As it warms up it also develops a secondary grape soda 'harmony' flavor…
M. Light, fizzy, highly carbonated soda water. There is not really any beer here, just another pseudo wine cooler. And most certainly not anything lambic, either.

Cantillion has vanished from shelves and this stuff has popped up in it's place.
My bottle label looks different than the one picture here - I got a black and white photo of some Belgian good ol' boys. The beer itself is a brownish eggplant color but shines beautiful ruby red when held to light. Big Calamine lotion pink head leaves a fair amount of foam stuck to my glass. Decanted so I could dump the dregs in a Flanders Red ale.
Smells exactly like Dannon strawberry banana yogurt. Not a little bit like but dead on. Tastes like Dannon strawberry banana yogurt with some Lindemann's cherry cough drops added in. It's no Cantillion but not much is.
Like Dannon strawberry banana yogurt? If so, you'll like this beer.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Pours a dark red/cherry with a one finger cream head. Head dies, good lacing.
Aromas of cherries, cherry methol throat lozenge, cough syrup.
Taste is a sour blast of cough syrup, cherries, sherbert, a little hop bitterness, very complex, but not in a good way(!)
Mouthfeel very light / watery / fizzy.
All in all, good experiment, but I ain't gonna buy a case and that's a fact...

3.08/5 rDev -9.7%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
Appearance: Dark red color with a white, one finger head. Moderate lacing.
Smell: Cherries dominate the aroma but it is pretty one-dimensional.
Taste: This limbic tastes good but, like the smell, it is rather one-dimensional. No malt or hops presence to be found.
Mouthfeel: Good carbonation and a nice body. No complaints but not great.
Overall: Fun to drink but not complex enough to earn anything above an average rating.

11.2 fl oz bottle served in a snifter, reviewed live:
A - Pours a dark, transparent ruby red color with a thin, one finger, pink head. Retention is poor.
S - Dark cherries, black currant, cherry extract syrup and mild yeasty/bacterial funk. Seems a bit imbalanced and sweet, but interesting all together.
T - Opens heavy on the tart cherry and yeast. It's entirely too sweet through the finish, where the tart sourness from the yeast finally come through. It's simple and imbalanced.
M - Smooth, wet and almost syrupy. Doesn't work with the beer to well, but it's to be expected.
D - Suffers from simplicity and imbalance. Not really a good offering for the style, or beer at all.

exp 8/4/12
A: Poor head retention and not really a head. little micro rising carbonation. but a beautiful black cherry color. dark but "transparent"
S: Black cherry soda, sweet, syrupy, hint of sourness.
T: It's largely straight cherry soda on the syrupy side, slightly sour. Pretty nice. Underneath that there's a more artificial flavor, but difficult to describe and isn't very strong. I still find it strange that Kriek lambics are considered beers, it's far more soda like.
M: Fun, light soda frothiness. Nice and suitable.
O: Good, hardly a beer but nice and easy.

A History of the E-book
Reading a book electronically instead of on paper has become more common in recent years with the help of the Kindle, and even more recently with the iPad and Google eBookstore. In 2010 Amazon reported that sales of e-books outnumbered hard copies for the first time. But despite the recent growth in the e-books area, digitised books are not a new phenomenon. Did you know that they have been around in some form or other now for 40 years? In 1971 Project Gutenberg was launched with a digitalised version of the United States Declaration of Independence. The same year, the first email was sent between two host computers. Today, Project Gutenberg is a website that offers 33,000 books that anyone can download for free.
Some key moments in the history of the e-book:
- In the year 2000, Stephen King made his novella Riding the Bullet available exclusively online, and 400,000 copies were downloaded in the first 24 hours.
- In 2002, publishing houses HarperCollins and Random House began selling digital versions of their books.
- In 2007 Amazon launched Kindle in the US, with 90,000 books available for purchase.
- The same year, Apple launched it´s first generation iPhone.
- From here, the digital book boom soars; Apple releases the iPad with the iBooks application, and Google releases the eBookstore with 3 million titles. At this moment, the global e-book market is worth $900 million.
Regardless of personal preference, e-books are continuing to grow in number and popularity and are changing the way that people learn and access information.
