Great Group & They Treat You Well
Since changing to Nicola, I am very satisfied with the service from Dr. Vaughn and the staff who handles the electrostim & massages. They have a gift of making a crowd of patients move smoothly through. The front office staff is kind & efficient, which is rare with many medical practices I have encountered in this city. Dr. Vaughn has gotten my problem on the run after being locked up for so long in my lower back and pelvis. I am grateful for their efforts.
Very great customer service & friendly.
High quality service
My neck and shoulders have been bothering me for quite some time, my physician recommended I see a chiropractor- I'm so glad I did!!! The massage and adjustment have helped me in so many ways- I can actually turn my head left and right... I leave always feeling so good. Special thanks to Cleo for the massage and Dr. Vaughn for the adjustment.... amazing staff all around
Keep up the good work team!
Amazing team all working in harmony! Every touch is with love and care!

I fell so much better after just two visits. I am so glad I found Dr. Randall!!
Very friendly and helpful staff
This is my second week going to Nicola Chiroprctaic and I am very satisfied.
Best chiropractor in town
I have been a patient of Dr. Nicola for 12 years after a dual rear ending accident, I transferred care from another provider & he literally saved my backs life. My son now sees him as well since he's in highschool football. Dr. Nicola listens to any & all concerns & one of my favorite things is he is not a pain management office. Since seeing him I don't need narcotics to treat my pain if I ever hurt myself or get rear ended.
Excellent job on my first visit.
The Dr. and staff were very friendly and processional, looking forward to future visits.
Always Excellent Care!
Without exception, every visit to Nicola is an excellent experience. Cleo is amazing at knowing exactly what muscle work I need, and Drs Nicola and Vaughn really take their time to listen and make sure they've addressed all my concerns. And they are a wealth of information. The care I've received over the years is second to none, and the healing I have experienced as a result is a God-send! Their office is 30+ minutes from my house, but it is always worth the drive!!
Very professional and friendly staff
Always friendly
Great service, very understanding staff
Staff is very professional and understanding. Doctor Nicola gives you the attention and true concern about your visit. He makes sure he understands your issues to properly design a recovery plan that will be effective and get you the treatment you need. Everyone is amazing all around. I would recommend this office for sure.
Great Place
Dr. Thomas Vaughn is wonderful. They whole staff is great! And the Massages are the best!!!
Amazing experience
Very professional atmosphere. Great service. Dr Nicola is amazing he has great bedside manner and is very knowledgeable about his practice . Besides a long day and a lot of pain after the visit in the office you feel refreshed. The massage therapists are out of this world. I highly recommend this office to anybody who needs help and attention. The front office staff is very accommodating and they work with your schedule to fit your needs always with a smile.
High quality care with passion
Dr. Jamie is very professional, she takes the time to explain every step of the unique care plan she has for you, she takes care of you with care and passion. Hats off for her!!!
Outstanding chiropractor
Dr. Nicola is always professional and comprehensive in service. I needed relief from serious back pain, and he and his staff left me much better than when I walked in. Randy
They scheduled me the same day with no hesitation. All the staff members are awesome they make you feel as if they have known you for along time.
The experience is always positive. All of the staff from front to back office are wonderful. I have been treated by Dr. Nicola and Dr. Vaughn. I also feel better after my adjustments and treatments. Thank you.

Best Chiropractor Experience Ever!
Nicola Chiropractic is the ABSOLUTELY BEST Chiropractic Establishment around! Everyone in the office is friendly and polite! You may be hurt and in pain, but everyone there makes you feel glad to be there too! Not only are they trying to help your body on the outside, but they also heal you inside by making you laugh! Laughter is truly the best medicine, especially when you pair it with the professional work of everyone at Nicola Chiropractic! :-D
Dr. Nicola, fixed my back!!!
These guys are awesome, they really take care of patients. Clean and friendly environment. Front desk ladies very nice too.
Highly recommend!
So impressed with Nicola Chiropractic! I appreciate their expertise, and the compassionate way they treat their patients! I wouldn't trust anyone else!
Very friendly staff & high quality service. I have been to many chiropractor's over the years & Dr. Vaughn is the best. He listen's to your specific needs & adjusts the alignment as needed for that visit which usually corrects my problem quickly. I'm very grateful because they help keep me healthy & at my best!
Professional, informational & funny
I have been personally seeing Dr. Nicola for 10 years & love him, but when he went to the west sahara office I was in severe pain & I saw Dr. Vaughn he was just as wonderful! Today my son saw him having a neck, back & knee problem (plays tackle football). Dr. Vaughn was great with him my son is 15, he made it very easy for my son to relax to get his adjustment. Needless to say my son is feeling 100%! Thank you Dr. Vaughn for making his experience amazing.
Great staff, friendly, fast and AWESOME CARE!!! I have been going to Nicola Chiropractic for 2 to 3 years now and I will not go anywhere else!! Great Job to all the staff!!
Last minute appt
Has always world class service. Cleo listens and helps out with any issues. Dr. V is hilarious.
Dr Nicola ROCKS
As always Dr. Nicola has done excellent work on me. He takes the time to explain things and is professional in all manner. In the past 55 years I have been to a dozen or so chiropractors. Without reservations I know Dr. Nicola exceeded my expectations of professionalism and friendliness. If I ever forget to thank you....thank you Dr. Nicola. However, I believe the office staff needs a little polishing in customer service and satisfaction. A friendly greeting is always great....as if seeing an old friend again. Lastly, I suggest a tighter book keeping effort to ensure mistakes like the one I experienced on my last visit doesn't happen again. All parts of the business is a total reflection of Dr. Nicola's effort to provide legendary service to his patients.
High quality service
I just love coming here, everyone is so caring. I just love the back massages. This is my second time coming back I wouldn't go any where else.
Very professional. Wonderful massage prior to adjustment. Was not rushed. Nice office and service area. Will be back.
Friendly and professional
I love the staff and the dr. Very friendly almost like visiting family.
Best chiropractor in town!!!
I've been a patient of Dr. Nicola for 10 years now. I always say he saved my backs life!! I first started seeing him after I started working for him as he was my first medical office boss since going to massage school & working at 2 spas on the strip. I had been seeing another chiro for 4 months after a dual rear ending accident after I started working for him I transferred my care & within 2 months I didn't need weekly treatments anymore, just my monthly maintenance appointment. Hes definetly seen me at my worst & at my best! The staff is awesome & caring. Rachel front office is so sweet & caring, Yesi is an amazing CA I love her massages, Cleo is pretty awesome he's a CA as well & is really funny.
Best chiropractor in town!!!
I've been a patient of Dr. Nicola for 10 years & hes seen me at my worst & at my best! I say he saved my backs life after a dual rear ending in 2006, I've been a patient ever since. He's treated me for 3 rear ending accidents & a skip & fall. The staff is awesome. Rachel front office is so sweet & caring, Yesi is an amazing CA I love her massages, Cleo is pretty awesome he's a CA as well & is really funny.
Excellent discussion and coverage on my back pain.
Best Service and Doctors in town!
The staff is very caring, they great you by your first name, they get you in and out quickly. the doctors are very professional and know how to get you back into your life style quickly with the best treatments.
Excellent professional service. I highly recommend them.
Very knowledgeable and professional!
Every time I have came in to get adjusted or "fixed," I have always left feeling great. They know what they are talking about and what they are doing. I never follow up because I'm usually good for a while, until I'm broken again. I will refer anyone to go here. Plus the staff have a sense of humor.
Excellent care and service
Very professional and caring team. I would highly recommend to who's been in an accident or has back or neck problems
Dr. Nicola was my first boss when I was a young and green massage therapist. I continue to see him as my chiropractor of choice because I know first hand his depth of care and consideration that goes into his work.
I've been going to Dr Joe since He was my very first boss when I got out of massage school. His conscientious work ethic and attention to detail have kept me coming back as a client some ten years or more. Can't go wrong with Dr Joe and the staff of Nicola Chiropractic!!!
Fantastic service I would highly recommend them to anyone needing relief
High Quality Effective Chiropratic Treatment
Nicola Chiropractic provided the best alignment and massage treatments I have ever received at a chiropractor's office. After treatment I was again able to lift my left leg to the same height that I could lift the right leg; and I no longer felt tension/cramping in my hip and thigh muscles. Thanks to Dr. Vaughn (alignment) and Cleo (massage), I left Nicola Chiropractic walking easily and enjoyed the remaining three days of my Las Vegas vacation. All staff were professional, courteous, and provided explanations of procedures. In addition, I was given recommendation/referral advice on how to improve my condition and maintain the ease of movement I was experiencing in the office.
Very nice doctor !
He is very caring
Very friendly
They are just excellent... From the moment I scheduled the appointment. Till I finish my therapy.
Professional and friendly service
I love how you feel comfortable around everyone there and you get the care deserve.
Personal attention through caring doctors and staff
Every few years my body is in need of Dr. Thomas Vaughn's TLC! He is so witty, and wise, and accomplished in his field. There is always something new to learn from him and his staff.
Drive across town to go here...
I have been to this office on multiple occasions and this is the only office I feel comfortable going to. They are always polite, professional and honest. The facility is always very clean. My visits have been for DOT cert but after having a comfortable and (more importantly for me) reassuring discussion with Dr. Nicola I am scheduling my first chiropractic adjustment for upper back discomfort. My father swears by chiropractic adjustments and they allow him to sleep deeper and have more comfortable movement throughout the day. I'll update/write another after my adjustment.
High quality care
Great experience! Always enjoy my time at Nicola Chiropractic. Everyone there are kind and helpful. I leave feeling better than when I got there and that is a definite plus. I have recommended to my friends and will probably do so again. My thanks to everyone at Nicola Chiropractic. Dana Swafford
The Magic Fingers Of Clio
I walked in with pain, and left feeling much better.chiropractic adjustment felt good, and the electronic massage felt wonderful. But the 15-minute massage by Clio was just super fantastic. When it was over, I floated out of the office with a large smile on my face. Yep, I'm returning next week.
Everyone was very nice. Dr Von understands what I am going through. I'm looking forward to seeing him next week so he can continue to mend me back together! ❤ ~Maria
Professional & Friendly
Highly satisfied with the professionalism that all the staff provide. From the moment I walk into the office to the moment I leave, leaves me with a satisfied experience. The receptionist, the techs, and the doctors all express a sincere attitude of wanting to help. And as an added bonus they have helped me tremendously with my problem. Thank you all and will recommend your business to everyone I know.
a very educated and well staffed team. The professional brilliance and level of care was the best that I have had in many many years.
DR. Nicola is a very educated with a very well trained and staffed team. The professional brilliance and level of care was the best that I have had in many many years. I walked out of there feeling so much better then when I walked in. His assessment of my condition was very through and with a great deal of sensitivity and care. My sister and Brother-in law both see him and now I know why.
Happy. Happy. Happy
As always its a pleasure seeing Irene ans Sam. I feel better. I get taken care of wonderfully and they always have a smile
Professional! And Human!
Felt important, welcome and in complete care of a professional. Honestly the best 100% all around staff. Plus my back being actually in my hips mind blowing difference.
Best chiropractor in town!
I've been a patient of Dr. Nicolas's since March of 2007, I had been in a dual rear ending accident in November of 2006, I was seeing another chiropractor for 3 months & switched care to Dr. Nicola, I always say he saved my backs life. I see him monthly for matienance. Friendly staff & always feel like familia. Thank you Dr. Nicola for being the best for my son & I.
High Quality of Care
Excellent, compassionate care from the time you sign in with Chelsea, Rachael, the office manager, Cleo, Irene and Jessie, the physical therapists, the rest of the staff to the doctors! Everyone is always professional, kind, compassionate and always about the patient! Your care is taylored to your needs, NOT the 'cookie cutter' approach that all patients have the same needs! Dr. Nicola is an excellent chiropractor, I have received the best care I've ever had! I've see him for years and will continue to do so! On the few occasions Dr. Vaughn has seen me, I've been pleased with his care as well! All the doctors and their staff are just exceptional! I refer friends to them all the time. Thank you so much!
Very caring and professional team!
Dr Nicola is one of the best. I went to many chiropractors because of a pain in my shoulder and back. They would 'adjust' me and tell me to come back... problem was I never got any relief. Lisa Agnew, the Sports Medicine Physical Therapist, kept telling me to try Dr Nicola. I finally did and he diagnosed me with my ribs being out of place... I had never heard that before so I was skeptical... one adjustment and the pain went away immediately! Immediately. I won't go to another place... ever again! And Lisa Agnew... THE BEST! She is extremely knowledgeable and makes all the aches and pains disappear..
Awesome as usual
Great office staff
Chelsea the receptionist is always friendly and smiling. Cleo the chiropractor specialist is great. : )
very nice and professional
They took me in with a last minute appt. Very courteous
Exceptional treatments and knowledge in their profession
Even in my worst condition, my treatments are always followed by relief. My back and neck are in bad shape and though I've opted against surgery, Nicola Chiropractic have always found a way to keep me in shape and more importantly, with minimal discomfort.
Million Dollars!
Dr. Vaughn made me feel like a million dollars! He's a delightful person who is knowledgeable and humorous! This entire office is full of caring professionals who have perfected their craft and do so with enthusiasm, kindness and humor!
Great doctor - fun to go to the doctor!?!
I enjoyed the treatment. The heat electrical blanket felt so good. The heat people were kind and patient. The doctor cracked my neck perfectly. I loved his humor too.
Very enjoyable visit
I love getting a message before seeing the doctor. Really a great concept!
I feel so much better. Cant believe I waited so long to see this wonderful Doctor. Headaches all gone. Staff was so friendly. I will be back soon for sure.
Great service and great bed side manners by Dr. Vaughn
Hi...kudos for the satisfaction I got from my first appointment with Dr. Vaughn. The service was super nice from the front office to the back room with the technicians. Yes....I was very satisfied and even more satisfied with the way Dr. Vaughn extended his expertise to consult me about the wellness of the body that begins with the adjustment of my frame. On top of it all, his 'bed side manners' was warm and cordial to go with his concern for my health. For sure, I will be back!
High quality service & GREAT care!!
My whole family enjoys going here. The staff & doctors are beyond nice & a pleasure to work with. Dr. Sam Colarusso is awesome!!! Love this office!!
Thanks for a great experience.
I worked with Doctor Nicola 4 years ago, and have been out of town since then. It was good to be back, and the experience picked up where we left off, with my leaving the office feeling so much better then when I came in. DR. Nicola adjusted my back and neck, which gave me relief in my knee, and allowed me to get a good nights sleep. The doctor also gave me good advice on question to ask my primary physician regarding a problem I am having with my shoulder.

Professional and freindly
Having been to chiropractors for decades, it was interesting to see the treatment area open to all patients at the same time. Wait and see how that works. Gentleman who treated me there was very nice and accommodating. Receptionist very nice - she was with my previous chiropractor.
Profesional and friendly staff
The staff is very friendly. The Dr Hortin is very professional and friendly. Great service provided always
Great Staff, Even better treatment
I have been getting hot packs , tens, massage therapy and adjustments from Dr. Nicola, and his staff, I must say they are great. Office Staff is polite and friendly. Everyone does their jobs well. I must say that Cleo is great. He knows what he is doing and with his massages I always feel better when I leave. Thanks!!!!
Always helpful and never overselling...
Dr. Colaruso and the Staff at Nicola Chiropractic are always polite, friendly, and get right to the root of the challenge. The therapists are great and they always make the adjustments go so much smoother...definitely recommending the crew over there!!
Amazing Providers and staff
Welcoming and comfortable feeling from start to finish. Everyone is extremely sweet and caring. Love Conner! Best appointment experience I've had as a Patient sense living here in Vegas. Thank you all for showing your PT's they actually mean something to you.
outstanding service, outstanding professionality, extremly carrying and friendly
the best chiropractic office I've ever been to! they are always accommodating, friendly and always try to fit you in to their busy schedule absolutly professional and knowledgable. Cleo is the best and never to tired to work your problem areas. Dr. Nicola and Dr. Vaughn are both extremely experienced If you have a problem, you can not find a better chiropractor office
Recent Appointment with Dr. Nicola and team
I was given the most professional and complete care from Dr. Nicola and his team. My pain was lessened with the detailed treatment that I received. Thank you for such wonderful patient and customer care!
Great! The massage therapy is amazing!
Professional And Friendly!
10 minute neck massage is awesome! Dr. Caluso is the Best in the west!! Two thumbs up! The staff is professional and Friendly!!
Most caring and knowledgeable Chiropractic office I've been to!
I have been going to Dr. Joe since 2009, and have never been disappointed. I have seen him for my shoulder, my jaw, my back, my neck and headaches. He always takes the time to speak to me first about why I am there and how I am feeling. He never pushes anything on me and is always careful to take into consideration my health history so as to not aggravate or cause anything worse. The therapists work on you at a level of comfort you can handle but that is also efficient in being rehabilitated. Everyone from the front office to the therapists and doctors are so nice and professional, really showing patient care. I have insurance that will pay for another chiropractor, as this office doesn't take my insurance. But I won't change to another clinic just to save a few bucks on a copayment. Their price is very reasonable for the work they do, and their care for me is worth more than whatever I may save using my insurance. Thanks for your quality, professionalism and care Dr. Joe and team! You guys rock!
Professional, Quality Friendly Service
Great staff: friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff....got me in immediately....took great care of me.... HIGHLY recommend to anyone that needs chiropractic services!!!!!
I was is to see the chiropractor right away, assessed me, did my adjustments and I was on my way.
Treatment Extraordinaire
I have been seeing Dr. Nicola for my sports injuries for 13 years. His treatments are always on point, helping me to recover quickly.
Excellent service and attention to care and wellbeing.
Great service and attention
Love the staff!
I have been going to see Dr. Nicola for a few years. I met him thru the massage therapist, Lisa Agnew. Lisa is an amazing woman who has helped my family with ALL their aches and pains for 20 years. When she set up a work space in Dr Nicola's office it was heaven! I would go to her and she would get my muscles relaxed and then Dr Nicola would do his magic. The best of both worlds! And the staff greets you with a smile and you can always hear laughter in the back office. And Dr Nicola was the the only chiropractor who helped my horrible back pain by diagnosing a misplaced rib. One adjustment and immediate relief!
Very happy with this office
Always leave feeling better and the staff is very nice
Very good treatment.
The staff is very courteous and helpful. The treatment helped reduce the level of pain.
The doctors are outstanding. An so is everyone on the staff.i think this is the best chiropractor in vegas
Definitely recommend!!!
I saw Dr Nicola and after several visits and an MRI, he recommended I go to a chiropractor that had a decompression chair for my herniated disc. He didn't have one so I did go to another Dr in the area. The decompression chair worked wonders! I totally respected the fact that he didn't try & keep me coming to his office when he thought I needed another treatment. I have been to 5 different doctors & he was the only one that helped me after 10 years of being in pain. I still go to him for my adjustments & recommend anyone looking for an honest chiropractor to go to Dr Nicola too!! The staff there is amazing also!
I had a very good experience. Staff and the chiropractor are polite and caring! I feel that they are going an extra mile to strive to help me feel better.
Best Place Ever!
Very knowledgeable and informative throughout the entire process. My doctor explained everything he was doing and why it was necessary which made me feel extremely comfortable. The relief I feel after one visit is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to go back for my next appointment.
Great Experience
Dr. Nicola was very professional and asked questions about how my body posture was doing or feeling. The adjustments that I received in this office visit is the best I've had in a long time. I was very pleased and will be making future appointments. I've recommended him to my daughter. Thank You
Excellent as usual!! Dr. Nicola and staff are always extremely professional. They are ALL very courteous and compassionate in taking their time to care for your chiropractic and medical needs! I always refer family, friends, Church family...anyone that I hear in need of a 'good chiropractor' to Dr. Nicola! From stem or muscle therapy, x-rays, exercise or massage therapy to manual chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Nicola and staff address all areas to enable you to feel better and aid in your healing process. Dr. Nicola has kept me moving and feeling better for several years...ever since he was recommended to me!! I appreciate all the care that he and his staff has provided me. Thank you!! Thank you!!
This is why we keep coming back!
For many years our family has been seeing Dr. Nicola each time we have an injury. Today I took our 15 year old son in for a sports injury. Besides the stretching and manipulating that was done to help him, Dr. Nicola spent time teaching him how exactly to stretch to avoid this kind of injury (and others) in the future and why it is important. So much better coming from the doctor than the parent! We have never been disappointed with the comprehensive care we receive at this office!

"It is important to note that even though audio technology is installed, no audio is recorded at this time. It will become functional at a later date..."...it's also worth pointing out that the group admits similar equipment is already functional elsewhere.
What about your privacy rights? Well, clearly you read the fine print on the website of the airport you were using, right? That's where the details are going to be posted. There will be signs in the airport... telling you to check the website, because you just know people are going to rush to do that.

Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee State men's basketball team will look to win its third consecutive game when the squad hosts Drexel on Tuesday night at 7 p.m.
The Tigers are coming off an 83-72 victory in their first true road win of the season at Alabama A&M. It was a well-played game by the Tigers, who committed a season-low 10 turnovers.
"The first thing that I was proud of in the game against Alabama A&M was that the team limited its turnovers," head coach Travis Williams said. "We made good decisions offensively and took good shots."
Senior forward Robert Covington led TSU in the win with 27 points, but Kellen Thornton, Patrick Miller and Jordan Cyphers also ended up in double-figures.
Williams has received production from a handful of players all season long, and Saturday was no different, as TSU had eight players finish with at least 15 minutes against the Bulldogs.
"I tell every player on the team to always be ready, and whether they come in on offense or defense, the guys have been receptive," Williams said.
The Tigers will need to continue to get production from everyone on the squad when they take on the Drexel Dragons, who were pegged to win the Colonial Athletic Conference before the season.
However, it has been a rough first few games for the Dragons so far this season, as they limp into the Gentry Center with a 2-5 record.
Drexel has four players who average in double-figures in points, but Damion Lee leads the team with 17.4 per contest.
Hanging onto the ball has been a problem so far for the Dragons, as the team has averaged nearly 14 turnovers per game and has only recorded 28 steals.
"We are going to have to get back quickly in transition on defense and communicate on both ends of the court. If we play smart and play together on every possession then I think we will be okay," Williams said.
The Tigers will look to improve to 4-5 on the season with a home win over Drexel on Dec. 4 at 7 p.m.

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI was presented yesterday with two brand-new customized Piaggio three-wheeled vehicles. The funky, light weight transport vehicles are called "ape" in Italian, which means "bee" — probably for the loud buzzing noise the tiny engine makes as it putters along.
Piaggio's CEO and the head of its Indian subsidiary presented the pope with the two white Ape-Calessino models that were made in India. The gift was made to mark the 60th anniversary of the first Piaggio ape to come off the assembly line.

Reuter's picked up an interesting article just published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition by Dr. Colleen Doak, Dr. Noel Solomons and colleagues at CeSSIAM.
Traditional herb water linked to smaller babies
Infants given a traditional Guatemalan drink in the first month of life are almost twice as likely to have stunted growth than other children, according to a new study.
"We believe that aguitas may be part of the explanation for the high child stunting prevalence in Guatemala," lead author Colleen Doak told Reuters Health by email.
The herbal infusions known as aguitas come in many forms, including cinnamon, chamomile and mint. Indigenous Guatemalans believe the drinks help ease colic and diarrhea and improve general health.
Doak, of VU University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and her colleagues surveyed about 450 mothers with children under two years old. Nearly 80 percent of their babies had been given aguitas, and a quarter of those were first given the drink before the age of three weeks.
Half of the babies who had been given aguitas within the first three weeks of life had stunted growth, compared to 35 percent of all other children, according to results in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines stunted growth as length below the 5th percentile of the WHO Child Growth Standards. A three month old boy shorter than 22.8 inches, for example, is considered stunted.
The researchers did not follow the children beyond the age of two years. Other studies, however, have found that stunted children tend to perform worse in school and are more likely to be obese and have diabetes or high blood pressure, Dr. Peter Rohloff told Reuters Health by email.
"For all these problems, it is extremely important that we figure out what contributes to the development of stunting, and what to do about it," said Rohloff, of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, who was not involved in the study.
These findings do not indicate that aguitas cause the higher rates of stunting in Guatemala, only that the two are somehow linked.
If the watery drink regularly takes the place of breastmilk in feedings, the babies could be undernourished, or if the water is served in dirty containers it might spread infection, but neither of these is likely to fully explain the connection the researchers saw, according to Doak.
It is also possible that aguitas is a result and not a cause – babies born with a condition that leads to stomach pain and stunted growth would likely be given the drink earlier.
In any case, the connection deserves more investigation, Doak said, as Guatemala has the highest rates of stunting in Latin America and the third highest rate in the world.
"Obviously poverty is likely to play an important role, but other countries with similar per capita incomes have lower prevalences of child stunting," said Doak.
She suggests future studies follow mothers and babies from birth so the researchers can be sure when the babies first taste the drink, instead of relying on answers to survey questions.
"Stunting is an important global pediatric health problem, in Guatemala and elsewhere," said Rohloff, who founded a healthcare organization for indigenous people in the country.
If future studies confirm that the herbal drinks are also a factor, the consequences could be felt outside the country where the current study took place.
"Many different cultures have traditions of giving fluids. Aguitas in Guatemala is just one example," said Doak.

Introducing Stella
A couple of weeks ago, we welcomed wee baby Stella into our family.
She gave me a very rough time on her entry into the world, but she is absolutely worth every bit of pain and suffering. We love her to bits.
Everyone agrees that her looks all come from her dad's family so far. She is a relatively small baby, so she's swimming in most of her newborn-sized clothes. The cloth diapers, covers, and soakers that I had ready for her are also too big, so I'm about to start knitting wee soakers in even smaller sizes. I haven't picked up the needles since she was born, but we're finally starting to settle into a somewhat predictable routine so I think I can squeeze in a few minutes here are there during naps.
Our families are very excited to have the first little girl of this generation, and the first grandchild for Nick's parents. We've had loads of visitors, and thankfully lots of support at home. Yesterday, we made it out for our first walk to the park, the first of many new adventures. I think that parenthood agrees with me.

Posted on November 1, 2011 in Meet the Playtesters
Hello again!
Our next featured Tennis Warehouse Playtester is Tiffani. Tiffani can be seen on various playtests of lighter racquets as well as a staple in women's shoes. She can also be seen every week on her Vlog. Check out her interview below.
Racquet of Choice: In between the Tecnifibre Rebound Pro and Yonex RDS 003 2008 version
String of Choice: Yonex Tour Super 850 for the RDS 003. No favorites yet for the Rebound Pro.
Shoe of Choice: Original Asics Gel Resolution was my favorite. My current favorite shoe is the Nike Zoom Breathe 2K11.
Apparel of Choice: I don't have one favorite brand, but I tend to wear Nike and adidas, though I like Lija a lot, too.
When/Why did you start playing tennis?
I started to play tennis at age 15. I had just quit competitive gymnastics after nearly 10 years of being in that sport. I needed something to do. I trained several hours a week for gymnastics. I couldn't go from four hours of gym practice a day to sitting on my backside. My brother was a competitive tennis player, so it was an easy choice for me. I played varsity singles through high school, winning league team and individual titles. My biggest regret in tennis is not trying to play competitively in college.
Who inspires you to play tennis?
I love the game and play because that drive to be better never stops. Though I don't look to pros as role models anymore, I do think often about a tennis coach of mine as a teen. He was a cancer survivor who had battled the disease in his late teens and then went on to play tennis at the collegiate level. Then in his 30s, he fell ill one day and died suddenly. I think often about the way he motivated me to play, but I also think about how he lived his life and how he loved tennis. That, too, is an inspiration.
What is your favorite shot to hit and why?
That's easy: Down-the-line backhand. I hit a two-handed backhand, and there's nothing more satisfying than lining up and giving it a whack. I find it especially satisfying if I can hit it behind someone.
If you could compare your game style to a pro's (past or present), who would it be and why?
Ha! I can't compare my game to any pro, but I wish I had the game of Kim Clijsters. I like to think that I'm pretty quick around the court, and I try to use my quickness for a counterpunching style. I'm not going to blow anything by you, but I will make you work. Plus, Kim is a mom, too. I love that she came back to play professional tennis after having her daughter.
What has been your favorite match you have ever watched (live or on TV)?
It was on TV: Goran Ivanisevic's 2001 Wimbledon victory over Pat Rafter. I always found him entertaining for his personality (Good Goran, Bad Goran, who is going to show up?) and was amazed by his serving. He had been denied the Wimbledon title before, and it was a fairytale with him being a wildcard in 2001.
What has been your most memorable tennis match (win or lose)?
One that comes to mind is a high school match. We were playing our high school rivals. My opponent also played at the same racquet club as I did, so we knew each other well. We played every team twice in our league. The first half of the season I lost to her after going up with an early 3-0 lead in the first set. This time she went up 3-0 early, but I bounced back to take the first set 6-3. I was the final singles match left on court with one of the doubles matches still going on (our format was four single matches, two doubles matches). It was a tight match, but we were leading. The doubles match split sets, and if our team was to win, I needed to win in straight sets. I can't remember how the second set went until the tie breaker. I did not play well initially and went down set points with the score 1-6. I slapped my thigh, took off my hat and threw it against the back fence. Next thing I remember is heading up to shake hands at the net. Victory! 6-3, 7-6 (8-6). We won league that year, too.
What is the funniest thing that has ever happened while you were playing tennis?
Most of the funny things happened away from the courts on the trips we took to tennis tournaments, but there was the time I played a tournament at a small club that backed up to some housing. Someone threw a broken lawn chair over the back fence, and we had to stop play. That was one heck of a reason to call a let.
What is your favorite part of being a TW playtester?
Is there something not to love? Let's see, I get to play with just about every racquet, wear the latest shoes and use a variety of different strings. I have become much more educated about how the right equipment can be an asset and the wrong equipment a detriment to my game.
Who is your favorite TW playtester to hit/play with?
Jason is a good match-up for me. We joined the playtest team around the same time, and I feel like we have improved a lot together. I don't generate a lot of my own pace, but Jason's shots are often in my strike zone and I can feed off his power. We have had some long points of running from side to side. He's also a great sport and always up for a hit.
Who is the TW playtester that gives you the most trouble?
It has to be Troy. I have never played with anyone who hits with so much topspin. His shots generally come up above my shoulder at their peak. I have to really concentrate on taking the ball early. His lefty serve also gives me trouble. And, yes there's more. Troy's really quick around the court, and my usual strategies are not very effective against him.
What has been your favorite review and why?
I'll go with the Yonex RDS 003. All of the playtests are fun, but this was the first playtest where I really just clicked with the racquet being tested. Up until that point, I had liked racquets but not found one I wanted to stock up on. Because I play with so many racquets, the temptation to switch can be strong, but so far I've always come back to this one.
Do you have any nicknames from the TW playtest squad?
Yahoo. It all started with the men's vlog with the poker storyline. I am the dealer for the card game, and he calls me "Yahoo Yamamoto, the fastest server, the fastest dealer, the fastest talker west of Nevada." He is the mastermind behind it. I'm not sure how he came up with it.
What racquets have you used (not tested) during your tennis career?
I started with the Prince CTS Lightning 110, and I played with that for the first couple of years of playing tennis. I tried the Prince Synergy 28 for about six months and switched back to the Lightning (I still have one!) until I found the Pro Kennex Silver Ace, Heritage edition. I played with the Pro Kennex my last year in high school and then regrettably hung up my sticks for college, when I only played occasionally. I got back into the game post-college with the Babolat Pure Drive Team Plus, the "swirly" cosmetic. I loved it, but I was hitting my forehand late too often, so I went with the standard length Pure Drive. It was Babolat Pure Drive Team, before Cortex, until I started working at TW. I started playtesting, and the first racquet I wanted to switch to was the Tecnifibre TFlash 310 XL — until I found it was not going to be made for the US market. So it was back to the Pure Drive until I playtested the Yonex RDS 003. I still love this racquet and have been playing with it again recently while working on getting back into the game after having my daughter. Before I became a mommy, it was the Dunlop Aerogel 4D 300 Tour for me. I loved the crisp, clean feel and the awesome control. The Tecnifibre Rebound Pro has pulled me away from the RDS 003 again. Love the looks, love the feel and love the blend of power and control.
Please check back next week when we highlight another playtester in another installment of, "Meet the Playtesters."

Vocabulary and Spelling City is a fabulous site! I've been using it with my beginning class recently. I have a premium membership, so when I create a spelling list for my class, all the activities are available to my students. However, as a student, you can create your own list by typing the words you want to learn into the yellow notepad on the home page. Then SpellingCity will model the words' pronunciation, spell the words aloud for you, and create spelling tests and vocabulary, writing, spelling, and alphabetizing games as well as printable handwriting exercises, The games vary from very easy (e.g., Missing Letter) to more difficult (e.g., Sentence Unscramble). Feedback is immediate. You can play the games over and over again until you really know those words. If you want, you can use Find a List to search for my spelling lists under the username nliakos; but remember, they are for beginners, so depending on your level, they might not be very useful to you.
Watch the video "Getting Started" on this page of the website to see how you can create your own spelling lists or use some of the many lists in Teacher Resources, such as capitonyms (words that change their meaning when they are capitalized, like turkey/Turkey), compound words, or (for advanced students) analogies.

United Nations: The UN General Assembly has elected Uganda`s Foreign Minister Sam Kutesa to be its next president amid controversy over his country`s anti-gay laws and allegations that he abused his office and accepted bribes from foreign companies.
The largely ceremonial year-long presidency, which begins in September, rotates by region.
John Ashe, the current president, said at the start of Wednesday`s meeting of the 193-member General Assembly that Kutesa was the unanimous choice of African nations. He then announced Kutsea`s election "by acclamation" as diplomats broke into applause.
Kutesa was ousted as a junior investment minister by Ugandan lawmakers over charges he abused his office.
Since 1999, he has been implicated in at least two more scandals including bribery allegations involving foreign companies seeking oil contracts in Uganda.
Kutesa denies all allegations.

By Barney Silver, Senior Vice President & Principal, ATREG, Inc.
IHS iSuppli reports that the aggregate MEMS market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5% between 2010 and 2015, with current predictions of 22% CAGR for consumer and mobile products alone (from $1.5 billion in 2010 to $4.4 billion in 2015). In 2010, pure-play MEMS foundries experienced a 48.4 % expansion, compared with only 2.4 % for standard semiconductor foundries.
With OEMs integrating MEMS devices into consumer, biomedical / quality of life, automotive, and industrial applications by the hundreds of millions, MEMS manufacturers need to keep pace with the robust global demand that is currently primarily driven by the explosive growth of smartphones and tablets. Gearing up for increased manufacturing capabilities and capacities can be a costly endeavor, and MEMS companies need to look at all available options to accelerate time-to-market while keeping costs down.
Purchasing an existing operational fab is one way to approach this challenge, especially 150mm or 200mm fabs running at less advanced geometry nodes. There are a variety of fully equipped operational fabs on the market right now that would make a cost-effective investment for a MEMS company. One perfect example of that is Texas Instruments that is selling its 150mm fabs in Hiji, Japan and Houston, TX. By acquiring an operational fab with ongoing production, MEMS companies can gradually introduce capacity into the fab without bearing the 100% of operational fab cost during the initial product qualification and ramp phases. As the seller's production volumes decline over time, the buyer introduces incremental production capacity to maintain a healthy fab utilization rate.
I welcome your comments on this post at email@example.com.

Michael Arrieta-Walden: Writing a New Chapter
February 05, 2010
Words have been Michael Arrieta-Walden's life. For three decades, he's worked as a journalist and editor. At his last job, he was a managing editor at the Oregonian, the state's largest newspaper, in charge of all online content, breaking news, and arts coverage. It was a big job that he loved, and it compensated him well.
Last year, he took a buyout package from the paper and began pursuing a master of arts in teaching at Lewis & Clark. "I believe in the power of education to change lives and give people opportunities," he says. At age 51, with a generous mustache and shaggy hair streaked with gray, he looks a bit like Richard Gere playing a teacher in a movie. "I wanted the last chapter of my career to be focused on individual lives. I didn't want to be 70 and say I wish I'd been a teacher."
That choice hasn't come without cost or sacrifice. "There will be a sizable cut in income this year and in the coming years," he says. "The demands of school are a sacrifice for my wife and daughter, but they want me to follow my heart and do what I want to do."
His decision brought up doubts and anxieties. "Changing careers can be disconcerting," says Arrieta-Walden. "I knew I was a fairly good editor. Now I wonder if I can be a good teacher. Can I be compelling and engaging enough to hold students' attention and inspire and motivate them? Do I have the drive, the energy, the ability to learn all this new stuff?"
In addition, he knows the job market for new teachers in the Portland area is grim. He takes solace from the fact that experts predict there won't be enough teachers to fill the nation's schools in the coming years. He's also buoyed that Portland educators have told him they like to hire Lewis & Clark graduates. He still worries that his family may have to move for his work. He's put his concerns and thoughts into a blog (blog.oregonlive. com/new-teacher/about.html), which he hopes will help other career changers.
In the classroom where he's student teaching, all his worries dissipate. The children joke and call him the Old Man, but it's all in good fun. In his June 17 blog, he wrote, "For months, I longed to return to the newsroom. I thought I'd ruined my professional life, but then I met the students, who helped me see what rich opportunities await."
Arrieta-Walden would like to teach fifth grade. "These kids are on the cusp of going in directions that could be positive or negative," he explains. "They're still young and excited about learning, but they're old enough to grapple with bigger ideas and bigger thinking, and that's really appealing."
He wants to teach low-income, nonnative English speakers, which is why he'll pursue an ESOL/bilingual education endorsement, in addition to his teaching license. "I'm drawn to teaching non-native speakers," he says. "I don't know if I can change the world, but I want to impact the lives of students from low-income backgrounds, and English language learners who may not have opportunities. I want
to change their world."

WEST PALM BEACH | Natural gas was used to generate 62 percent of Florida's electricity this year, and the fuel is expected to continue to dominate, the Florida Public Service Commission said in a report released last week.
WEST PALM BEACH | Natural gas was used to generate 62 percent of Florida's electricity this year, and the fuel is expected to continue to dominate, the Florida Public Service Commission said in a report released last week.
Natural gas-fired generating units make up most up the state's generation fleet, as well as plant additions projected over the next decade, the report based on the 10-year site plans of the state's 11 largest electric utilities found.
(Natural gas use at Lakeland Electric nearly mirrored the state's.
Currently, about two-thirds of the city's electricity is generated by Unit 5, the utility's giant natural gas generator. In 2013, commissioners plan to consider adding natural gas to Unit 3, its coal-burning generator. It would be a $7 million project. The cost for Lakeland Electric to convert Unit 3 to a coal- and natural gas-burning unit would be about $4.5 million, while the Orlando Utilities Commission, which owns 40 percent of the unit, would pay about $2.5 million.)
In 2002 natural gas-fired plants generated just 25 percent of the state's electricity. Natural gas as a percentage of use is projected to peak this year, then slowly decline to 56 percent in 2021, due to projected increases in nuclear power, the report said.
"The site plans provide us with a road map to meet Florida's energy needs over the next 10 years and ensure future reliability," said PSC Chairman Ronald A Brise. "Increased use of natural gas in Florida reduces overall energy costs and lessens environmental impacts."
Between 2012 and 2021, the average annual growth rate for residential customers in Florida is projected at 1.26 percent.
Juno Beach-based Florida Power & Light Co. said last week that it has reduced its oil consumption by 98 percent by investing in new highly efficient power plants that use U.S.-produced natural gas as a fuel to produce electricity. In 2001, FPL used more than 40 million barrels of oil to produce power, and this year it will use fewer than 1 million barrels.
Also last week, FPL issued a request for proposals to bring a third major multibillion-dollar, 700-mile natural gas pipeline into Florida. The proposed new "Southeast Pipeline" will provide approximately 400 million cubic feet per day of natural gas capacity for FPL beginning in 2017, and more in the future.
The proposed pipeline will include the Florida Interstate Connection and Central Florida Hub, which will run from Alabama to Central Florida. The Florida Southeast Connection will run from Central Florida to Martin County, where it will connect with FPL's existing system.
Interested companies can bid on one or both segments. FPL plans to consider building the Florida Southeast Connection itself. The specific routes will be selected and proposed by companies submitting bids.
FPL has natural gas-fired plants under construction at Cape Canaveral and Riviera Beach. They are slated for completion in June 2013 and June 2014, respectively. The company also plans to begin operating a new natural gas plant at Port Everglades in Broward County in 2016.
The company will be purchasing the gas turbines for its Port Everglades plant from German multinational Siemens AG, which is also supplying the turbines for the new Riviera Beach and Cape Canaveral plants, Siemens said.

Look into the hearts of the 'We Generation': Column
Generation Y is more communitarian than narcissistic.
The time has come for America's favorite once-every-generation pastime: telling these good-for-nothing kids to take their baseballs, their rock music and their iPhones and get off the damn lawn.
The debates over new media, the leering scrutiny of Girls'Lena Dunham, the inexhaustible mockery of hipsters — it's all been leading up to this. The Millennials have reached adulthood, and now the tribunal of previous generations must declare the nature of our crimes. From Joel Stein's recent Time cover story comes the verdict: The Millennial sin is narcissism. We are a "Me" Generation.
Strange, at first blush. Studies tell us that Millennial levels of charitable giving, volunteer hours and political engagement are all on track to surpass previous iterations of Americans. And all of this — lest we forget — is in spite of being handed a job market where the only things growing faster than youth unemployment are student debt and disenchantment. Is this what they mean by "narcissism"?
It isn't, of course. When our elders say we're narcissists, they aren't talking about Peace Corps rosters or charity drives — they're talking about Facebook. They're talking about us Instagramming our food and Tumbling our cats and tweeting to excess. It seems so self-centered — who but a bunch of narcissists check their phones every fifteen seconds?
We do love our social media. Narcissism, though? That's not just wrong — it's dog-bites-man backwards. Of course the big Boomers, who grew up sans Web, will always find social media inscrutable, the same way the Greatest Generation never got why the little Boomers hogged the landline every night. But Millennials understand intuitively that social media is anything but a vanity project — it's pure, interdependent society, writ large.
I don't know one Millennial who spends more time curating his Facebook profile than he does browsing his Facebook newsfeed; I don't know one who spends more time composing her own Tweets than she does reading the Tweets of others. We demand interconnection from our celebrities, politicians, and peers alike. Is there a whiff of narcissism in unlimited inclusion? Perhaps. But the spirit is communitarian, not navel-gazey. For a Millennial, heaven is other people. Hell is becoming an island, cut off from others by an iPhone left at home. What speaks more clearly to a "We" Generation?
But all of this is a bit ridiculous. Attacking — or defending — an entire generation based on something so idiosyncratic as narcissism is impossible. One only need read the bloodlust of our defenders to understand we are no less guilty of overgeneralization than our critics. But beneath the mutual recrimination, I think, is something noble: the genuine desire to understand. There is a new crop of Americans, after all. What do their hearts look like?
It strikes me that, for all the intimacy brought on by social media, there arises a special terror that only Millennials know: the anxiety of seeing everything.
Every generation has had its strivers and success stories. Each has had its share of bitterness. All saw some peers triumph while others groaned in mediocrity. What sets us apart aren't the circumstances but how uniquely aware of them we are. The irony of the "We Generation" is that by giving everybody a voice, everybody has seen just how many voices there are.
Unlike our predecessors, who were privileged with ample room for sustaining self-delusion, we don't become aware of the competition only when competitors succeed. We see all of it — every poet and analyst, every web series and start-up, every short story and long rant — in blogs and posts and tweets and links and so many Tumblr pages it's impossible to digest them all; rather, we just feel the visceral weight of output. We say this is something to be cherished, but we know it is the thing that crushes, too.
We didn't consciously reject having a "Me" Generation. If we had, then the charge might merely be insulting. Rather, the world we inherited precludes the possibility, and nothing breeds resentment like indictment for a crime you lack the luxury to commit. When we lash out defensively against Stein and his fellows, it isn't because we want the world to know our charity or because we think they're internet-illiterate. It's because we know it might be nice to have a "Me Generation," if only we could. It might be nice to have a selfish space or blindness to the odds. We might like to be narcissists, if it weren't so hard in a world made small by those damn iPhones.

The family of an American man imprisoned in Cuba for nearly three years is suing his former Maryland employer and the United States government, saying they didn't adequately train him or disclose the risks he was undertaking by doing development work on the Communist island.
Alan Gross and his wife, Judy, sued Friday in federal court in Washington.
Gross was arrested in December 2009 while on his fifth trip to Cuba as a subcontractor for an economic development organization based in Bethesda, Md. The company, Development Alternatives, Inc., was doing work under a contract with the U.S. Agency for International Development.
DAI did not immediately return a telephone message.
Gross' wife had previously said her husband feels he was misled by Development Alternatives.

Research Highlights
January 2014
The Long and Short of Modeling Water Resources Management
A new module for Earth system models fills the gap across scales
PNNL scientists developed a water resource management model that takes usage data from reservoirs such as Diablo Lake in Washington State to help model and understand human influence on Earth's environment. Enlarge Image.
Results: Earth system models track all forms of water and its movement through atmosphere, land and ocean systems. However, the significant effect of reservoirs on the amount of freshwater evaporated into the atmosphere and flowing to the oceans has been neglected. Existing water management models take either an expansive global view that can miss important details or narrow in on specific water reservoirs and lose critical trends across regions and time periods. Filling the gap between the two approaches, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory designed a water management model that can provide input to an Earth system model by drawing its water data at the regional level.
Why It Matters: It's much more than a drop in the bucket. Globally, as much as 15 percent of freshwater is withdrawn for drinking, growing food, producing power and other human activities. Failing to accurately depict these impacts on the water cycle affects the results from Earth system models, which are used to predict climate change and inform resource management and policy decisions. The team's approach simulates reservoir operations such as flood control, irrigation and water supply using release and storage information for each individual reservoir with a focus on long-term water flow and demand.
"Water integrates many processes in both the natural and human components of the Earth system," said Dr. Nathalie Voisin, the PNNL hydrologist who led the team. "Earth system models must accurately represent all branches of the hydrologic cycle—atmosphere, land, ocean, and human systems—including water and energy management, and socioeconomics."
Methods: The study team chose Washington State's Columbia River Regulation System as an example because of the area's many dams and reservoirs for generating electricity, irrigation, managing water flow, and serving as municipal water sources. The scientists first developed their new model apart from any Earth system model to ensure it was accurate on its own. It combines generic release and storage targets adjusted for each reservoir. They then coupled it to a river transport model and added irrigation demand and other types of water use measured by the U.S. Geological Survey. The team validated the model's realistic representation of reservoir operations by showing that measurements taken in the field closely matched the predictions made by their model.
Their results showed promise for accurately simulating the regulated flow of water and withdrawal activities at the regional scale. The resulting model can be used to determine the impacts of water use and water management on regional and global climate and improve understanding of the mutual constraints between energy and water production and use.
What's Next? The next step is to couple this water management model with a land surface model and an integrated assessment model to simulate future water deficits as a result of changes in water supply and water demand.
Sponsor: This study was part of the Integrated Earth System Modeling (iESM) a collaborative project supported by U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science Biological and Environmental Research program's Earth System Modeling program. The Platform for Regional Integrated Modeling and Analysis (PRIMA) initiative, funded by PNNL's Laboratory Directed Research and Development program, supported the development of databases used in reservoir modeling and some analyses of the results.

The Best Eco-Friendly Drawer Pulls
One of the quickest and least expensive ways to update the look of your kitchen or bathroom is to install new drawer pulls and cabinet knobs. Hardware can also be a way to bring a splash of color without painting entire walls. Here are some gorgeous examples made from materials like recycled glass, cork, and stone.
1 SpectraDecor: SpectraDecor's Luminous and Beach Pebble lines are made from 100% recycled glass in Seattle, Washington. (Luminous contains post-consumer or post-industrial content depending on color, while Beach Pebble is post-consumer content.) The company's Fusion2 line is made from 100% recycled aluminum with environmentally-friendly inlays like cork and shell.
2 Paloma Pottery: Paloma Pottery's door and drawer pulls are made in Ferndale, Washington, from recycled glass jars and bottles fused into pottery.
3 Aurora Glass: The Aurora Glass Foundry's drawer pulls are made from 100% recycled glass. The foundry is owned and operated by the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Lane County, Oregon, and all profits assist homeless and low-income people through emergency services, housing, jobs, training, other charitable endeavors.
4 Serena: Serena's Sea Stone knobs and pulls are handmade in New Hampshire using hand-gathered, ocean-smoothed stones.
5 VivaTerra: VivaTerra's recycled glass knobs are handmade by a family-run studio.

Blog Revamping

Review: Susan's Bistro @ Bandar Mahkota Cheras
I've blogged about Calabria Cafe & Restaurant way back in 2007. Not long after that it seems that the people who ran this cafe went over to Bandar Mahkota Cheras and opened up Susan's Bistro, I gather so since it's the same few faces who served us. Anyway, Calabria Cafe has been renamed not too long ago, can't remember what since I only passes by there.
Susan's Bistro stuck out like a sore thumb between the many Chinese food courts, Mamak shops and dai chow (stir-fries) restaurants around Bandar Mahkota Cheras' commercial area. However, there is a steady stream of patrons visiting this Italian cafe from around the neighbourhood. We tend to drop by whenever we ran out of options or when BoiBoi decided that he wanted to have pasta or pizza. Considering the prices in the menu and the stuff churned out from the kitchen, it's not a surprised that they're still standing strong amidst all the competitions around here.
So far their food has been consistently good except for a couple of times when Capt'n Hook was there with just the kid. We visited again not too long ago, seems to be ok this time round. For this occasion we have a Golden Garlic Escargot (RM16) as starter. Half a dozen of escargot complete with shells came on a bed of light and creamy sauce and topped with some croutons. Loved the sauce which is not rich at all and great if you're a garlic fan, great when soaked them up with the croutons! The texture of the escargot was firm and bouncy unlike another place we have been recently that was all too soft.
I asked for a Wild Mushroom Soup (RM7) since I know very well BoiBoi won't be able to finish up his dinner. BoiBoi loved mushroom soups and he did not hesitate to ask me to have some. Served with a crunchy garlic toasts, this soup packed with mushroom bits and it's certainly not the instant kind. Again it's not overly creamy that will overwhelm your entire dinner.
BoiBoi ordered a Smoked Salmon Spaghetti (RM17.50) which according to him is his favourite *roll eyes*. If I remember clearly, he had ordered this each time we're here and he's not someone who fancy fish unless they're deep fried! The spaghetti here is done al dente and you can just look at the pic how much smoked salmon slices are in there! The creamy white sauce is thickish and peppered with capers.
I need to get this out of my system - Capt'n Hook always order rice with cheese be it at those Hong Kong style cafe or Italian cafe!!! Ahhh that feels better :p This time, not his first either, he asked for Beef Doria (RM18). Ehhh... we were surprised they have changed the dish served to us. The portion has grown large due to a larger dish used! Still cheesy and tasty!
At the end of dinner, our "boss" requested for dessert and he picked a Creme Brulee (RM8.50). I raised my eye brows when it arrived as it was topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Hmmm... but it doesn't really matter as the boss likes ice cream. Digging into the creme brulee, it's not cloying at all, not too bad to end the meal.
The other times we have tried other stuff such as Cioppino (RM8) which is a tomato seafood based soup packed with seafood. Pardon the pics cos they're taken with my trusty W800i.
Seafood Doria (RM19) is delicious and packed with seafood as well. Guess who had this???
Gamberi Aglio Olio With Linguine (RM18.80) is a prawn filled linguine, just check the amount of prawns versus linguine. It's light and not laden with oil.
As for dessert we have the Tiramisu (RM7) which is quite all right and served in a teacup. Not sure why they don't serve the alcoholic version anymore :( which was of course better.
This cosy Italian-style family bistro also serves set meals for both lunch and dinner. Menu varies and it's noted at a blackboard outside the cafe. I've had them before and it's really value for money with a main that comes with a glass of iced lemon tea, best when it's below RM20! If you're around the area, mark this down!

text: I'm hardly an expert, but perhaps the question is "which one?" If you look at the Chabads like the Lubavitchers awaiting Rebbe Mendel Schnerson's reappearance as the messiah (he died about 10 years ago), that might be one strain, i.e., the dynastic rebbes. Then again, if you go back to the 17th century, nearly all of East European Judaism was messianiac, viz Shabbetai Zevi claimed he was the messiah in 1665 and most of the Jews in Poland-Ukraine were ready to pack up and head to Palestine. Major difference (near as I can tell!) is Christian messiah (Jesus) is a spiritual entity whose return means you-know-what. Jewish mossiach is a real living human with a lineage to David, learned in the law, and a military leader, basically a military leader to defeat the ever-irritating Gentiles who kept on invading and conquering Palestine going back the Egyptian New Kingdom, then the Assyrians, then the Babylonians, then the Persians, then the Greeks, then the Romans, then the Byzantine Empire, then the Muslims, then the Crusaders, then the Ottoman Empire. One related question: Once the Muslims captured Jerusalem in 638, the Jews were invited back. Why did they wait 1,300 years when Theodore Herzl gave them the "all clear"?
