9/20/2014 | Ynoa seizing his Major League opportunity
When you spend nine seasons in the Minors, you better not waste your big league chance when you get it. Rafael Ynoa falls into that category, and he certainly has taken advantage of his opportunity. If you need proof, just look at his inside-the-park homer attempt in Friday's 15-3 win over the D-backs.
9/19/2014 | Out call stands after home-plate review
Inside-the-park home runs are hard to come by. So when Rockies third baseman Rafael Ynoa had his chance at one Friday night vs. the D-backs, the officiating crew wanted to make sure they got the call right.
9/19/2014 | Rockies chasing walk-off history in 2014
Wilin Rosario's towering, two-run walk-off homer in Thursday's 7-6 win over the D-backs gave the Rockies nine walk-off victories on the season. That's one shy of tying a franchise record set by the 2010 Rockies, who had 10 walk-offs victories on nine hits and a sacrifice fly.
9/19/2014 | Prospect Butler gets call for Rockies vs. D-backs
D-backs right-hander Trevor Cahill will try to finish what has been a very disappointing season for him on a positive note, while prospect Eddie Butler works to show the Rockies that he should be a part of their rotation in 2015 in their matchup on Saturday at Coors Field.
9/19/2014 | Cuddyer's 7 RBIs help Rockies roll
The Rockies dropped the D-backs, 15-3, Friday at Coors Field to move out of last place in the National League West for the first time since July 13. Michael Cuddyer had a career-high seven RBIs while rookie third baseman Rafael Ynoa had four hits.
9/19/2014 | D-backs' Anderson to finish rookie season vs. Rockies
Already at a career-high 148 1/3 innings this season, the D-backs have decided that Friday will be right-hander Chase Anderson's final start of his rookie campaign. He will be opposed by Rockies right-hander Jordan Lyles.
9/18/2014 | Rosario ignites Rockies' ninth-inning celebration
Wilin Rosario walked the Rockies off with a two-run blast off D-backs closer Addison Reed on Thursday night to give Colorado a 7-6 victory at Coors Field.
9/18/2014 | Arenado might not play again this season
Pneumonia has zapped Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado of his energy, so much that it's unlikely he'll play again this season.
9/18/2014 | Blackmon a hit machine like few others
Charlie Blackmon, the Rockies' All-Star outfielder, delivered his third five-hit game of the year Wednesday, making him just the fourth player in the last 25 years to manage the feat.
9/17/2014 | Vying for batting title, Morneau proves he's healthy
While the Rockies are looking to avoid the first 100-loss season in franchise history, Justin Morneau is putting the finishing touches on a comeback season that he can cap off with a batting title for the first time in his career.
9/17/2014 | Struggling southpaws step up for D-backs, Rox
Thursday night will be a showdown of two left-handers desperately looking for a win. D-backs starter Vidal Nuno is 0-6 in 12 starts with Arizona despite a 3.68 ERA, while Rockies lefty Yohan Flande will make his ninth start of the season and try to improve from 0-5.
9/16/2014 | MLB announces Clemente Award nominees
Major League Baseball and Chevrolet announced on Tuesday the names of the 30 club nominees for the Roberto Clemente Award presented by Chevrolet, and fan voting will begin Wednesday, Roberto Clemente Day, to help decide who succeeds Carlos Beltran as the winner of the prestigious community honor handed out annually at the World Series.
9/15/2014 | Arenado sits as Rox await word on MRI on chest
Third baseman Nolan Arenado's right chest contusion kept him out of the Rockies' starting lineup Monday against the Dodgers. The team was awaiting MRI results but doesn't believe the injury is serious.
9/15/2014 | Flande, Butler to make starts down stretch for Rockies
The Rockies will turn to left-hander Yohan Flande to start Thursday night against the D-backs, which means lefty Franklin Morales has been removed from the rotation for the remainder of the season.
9/15/2014 | Rockies recall infielder Adames from Double-A
The Rockies recalled switch-hitting infielder Cristhian Adames, their No. 13-ranked prospect, on Monday after he participated in Double-A Tulsa's five-game loss to Midland in the Texas League Championship Series.
9/15/2014 | Haren hitting stride as Dodgers seek gains in West
With a four-game lead over the Giants in the NL West, the Dodgers will send Dan Haren to the mound on Tuesday in the middle game of a three-game set against the Rockies and lefty Tyler Matzek.
9/15/2014 | Rockies miss chances before Dodgers pull away
The Rockies blew scoring opportunities early Monday night, and then the Dodgers made them pay with an eight-run sixth inning as the NL West leader took an 11-3 win at Coors Field.
9/14/2014 | Dodgers won't let up against last-place Rockies
The Dodgers will go from playing their most important series of the season -- a three-game set against their rival, the second-place Giants -- to a series against the last-place Rockies in Colorado, which begins on Monday.
9/14/2014 | Rockies strike out 16 times in loss to Cards
A winless six-game trek came to an end Sunday afternoon with a 4-1 loss to the Cardinals, during which the Rockies struck out 16 times -- nine against Colorado high school product Marco Gonzales, a rookie left-hander.
9/14/2014 | Arenado day to day with chest contusion
Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado left Sunday afternoon's 4-1 loss to the Cardinals before the bottom of the fourth with a contusion on the right side of his chest, an injury that originally occurred earlier in the road trip.
9/14/2014 | Morneau expects to return to lineup soon
Rockies first baseman Justin Morneau planned to take swings Sunday morning and try to talk his way into the starting lineup by Monday.
9/14/2014 | Cuddyer runs bases with no hamstring issues

9/14/2014 | Gonzales steps in for first-place Cardinals

Good Thursday Morning!
The big talker today is our temperatures. A winter-like start with freezing temperatures as we get our day going.
Out the door look for patchy fog and frost. Partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid 30s, some areas below freezing.
We'll warm up a little by noon. Most of us stay dry, but hit and miss showers aren't out of the question this afternoon. Look for temperatures below average, but warmer then yesterday in the low 60s.
Showery weather will persist into the weekend with warmer temps. by Memorial Day.

Baltimore late-night food [Pictures]
It's late -- or early, depending on your perspective -- on a Friday or Saturday and, for whatever reason, you're still awake. And hungry. Whether you've been studying, working or -- gasp -- out at the bars, it's time to get your grub on in the worst way possible. Problem is, it's 2 a.m. or later, and almost every restaurant and carryout is closed. Fortunately, Baltimore does have some options for late-night diners. Sure, there's plenty of pizza and breakfast food -- but Baltimore's late-night culinary tapestry covers a wide range of bases, from Korean barbecue to Mexican fusion crepes.
Here are some solid options to explore in the Baltimore area, some time-tested and some brand new. Go forth and feast, night owls. In the end, your eyes may be bleary, but your stomach will be full.--Evan Siple

Jong Kak( Evan Siple, Baltimore Sun / March 26, 2012 )
18 W. 20th St., Baltimore
Open till 4 a.m. daily
You might giggle trying to pronounce the name (try "TJoong-ga," it means "Bell Tower"), but Jong Kak's authentic Korean cuisine is sure to put a smile on your face.
Despite a language barrier, the proprietors at Jong Kak are masters of late-night food. Even at 3 a.m., Jong Kak is filled with smoke from the tabletop barbecues, the smells of sizzling bulgogi filling the air. The seats are full of lively patrons, but the crowd is significantly more relaxed than your typical pizza place at that hour, which is a nice change of pace.
The spices and flavors will give your taste buds and eyelids a jolt: a hot, spicy bowl of Yukgejang (shredded beef soup, $9.95) or seafood pancakes ($15.95), full of big chunks of fish and green onion. There's a lot to try on the menu if you're new to Korean cuisine. You and a few friends can pass around small plates of pickled broccoli, kimchi and a variety of other sides. Jong Kak is great for sharing and trying something new. For the less adventurous eater, the spring rolls are fine, too.
If you're feeling ambitious, pull the trigger on the full barbecue experience (which is pricey, starting at $55). It comes with a variety of marinated meats, cooked on an open flame, and numerous sides. It's enough food for at least four people. Careful though: Sometimes they slip tripe into the mix. Keep your eyes peeled if you don't like eating barbecued stomach.

Eyewitness News
Indianapolis - The family of one of the two people found murdered in their Broad Ripple home is speaking out. They not only have a plea to the public, but also a message for the killer. "It's very emotional right now for everybody in the family," said Theresa Elzy, the victim's sister. Theresa and her family want to know more than anything right now, who killed Avery "Taysia" Elzy and why. Elzy was found murdered Friday afternoon along with 22 year old Michael Hunt.
"I really just want to know why? Why would they do that to two sweet people like that. Why," asked the sister. Metro Police went to check on Elzy and Hunt Friday around 4:30 p.m. They lived in the 5800 block of Rosslyn Avenue near Keystone and Kessler. Officers found Elzy, Hunt and one of their three dogs murdered inside the home. A car taken from the home, is the biggest clue for detectives right now. The victim's family hope people will come forward with more clues.
"If anybody knows anything, any little detail, the family would greatly appreciate just to come forth and say something," said Elzy. The missing car is a blue, 4-door 2001 Mercury Sable with Indiana license plate - KW 1329. It has 22" rims and video monitors in the seat head rests. The words 'sexy and independent' are painted on the trunk.
Police believe the vehicle could be in Fort Wayne. If you have any information that could help police in this case call Crimestoppers. The telephone number is 262-TIPS.

For a while there, we really believed Mila Kunis might be on the shortlist of contenders being considered to play Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. Didn't matter that she recently dashed most fans' hopes by telling Allure earlier this month that she's uncomfortable going full-on nude for a role. Didn't matter that E.L. James said -- once again! -- that they're a "long way from casting." Mila lovers were still crossing their fingers that she'd get a crack at the role.
Well, now we can all bury ALL hope of that ever being the case, because at a London press conference for Oz The Great & Powerful, Mila laid Fifty Shades of Grey casting rumors about herself to rest. For good.
A member of the U.K. media must've pressed her about the flick, and Mila said:
Gosh, this Fifty Shades of Grey thing is just not gonna leave is it. No, you will not see me in Fifty Shades of Grey. I'm so sorry.
Apparently, then her Oz co-star Zach Braff quipped:
If I could cast a spell, I'd cast one on Mila to have her do Fifty Shades of Grey. Maybe this means I can be in it?
To which Mila responded, "It's all yours Zac, you'd be fantastic in it!" Ha! Too funny. Because Zach Braff as Christian is craaaazy. Not seeing that for sure.
And although many people could have seen Mila as Ana, I never could. The character is supposed to be so naive, innocent, "pure." A younger actress -- many Mila could pull that off, I guess, but she's too mature for that at this point. Now, whether or not she'd be perfect as the bossy, fiery Chloe Mills in Beautiful Bastard is a completely different story! And one she hasn't rejected yet either!
Are you disappointed to hear there's no way Mila will play Ana?
Image via Tom Sorensen/Wikimedia
I don't think I like the idea of Mila playing Ana in Greys...she was right to stick to her guns about playing a role of total nudity. She may be crazy..but she has her morals about playing this role. Cudos to Mila.. I really like this actress and she has a right to turn down this role.
Who knows...most movies made from great books usually suck. That is because, as you read them, you have your own imagination and you have your picks in your minds so when Hollywood picks the wrong person, automatically, you get disappointed. And not only that...they cut so much out of the books to keep within budget for the movie. So..I really do hope that I will not get that much disappointed with the movie.
I loved the books and to be honest I am looking forward to seeing the movie, but right now, am sick of hearing about it, just make the movie and let us then decide if it matches up to what we imagine.
@Kay7684 - I agree completely!!!! Just shut up and show it to me already. I'm tired of hearing who may or may not play in it.
On behalf of ALL the female and male population that read, loved, and reread the books, JUST FLIPPIN TELL US WHO IS CAST! .. sincerely, all of us 50 shades of fu#%ed up fans
No I'm not. Besides, i never imagined her as Ana. For me, the perfect Anastasia is Felicity Jones. Mila doesn't seem very innocent and pure as the actress who will play Ana.
im hoping nina dobrev plays ana shesd be perfect

Progressive Era (1880-1930)
"A working girl is a human being with a heart, with desires, with aspirations, with ideas and ideals and when we think of food and shelter we merely think of the…necessities…Have we thought of providing her with books, with money for…a good drama?...Have you thought about a girl providing herself with a good room that had plenty of air, proper ventilation in a somewhat decent neighborhood. Do you think of all these things when you think of a minimum wage? Let us not think of a piece of bread. Let us think of a working woman as a human being who has her desires to which she is entitled."
--Pauline Newman, speaking on behalf of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union at the 1914 minimum wage hearings of the New York Factory Investigating Commission
During the period between 1880 and 1930, the United States experienced dramatic increases in industrialization, immigration, and urbanization. More and more trades were becoming mechanized, and more and more men and women were working long hours for little pay in factories and mills. The populations of industrial cities were growing rapidly, both because of migrants from the countryside and because of a new wave of immigrants from Eastern Europe, Italy, Greece, Mexico, and Asia, all seeking work in the booming industries. (25) In 1900, immigrants formed one third to one half of the populations of cities such as New York, Boston, Chicago, and Seattle. American industrial cities were overcrowded, unsanitary, and crime-ridden due to the rapidly growing populations. Industrialization, immigration, and urbanization promoted class, ethnic, and race conflicts, as well as extreme economic inequalities between the working class and industry's managers and business owners.
Densley populated immigrant area:
Mulberry Street, NY, c. 1903
Indianapolis cotton mill workers
Women workers were profoundly affected by these social and economic conflicts. Across the nation, anywhere from 25% to 40% of the labor force was female, and by the end of the 19th century, most women workers were non-white. (26) In the early 20th century, the major occupations for women remained the same as they had been in the 19th century: agriculture, domestic service, manufacturing, clerical and office work, and professional work. Women still earned much less than men (about 60% of men's average wages), and the highest paid jobs available to women nearly always went to native-born, middle class women. (27) The low wages, long hours, and poor working conditions women workers had faced in the 19th century intensified in the early 20th century, provoking a much more widespread women's labor reform movement than ever before—one which involved both working-class women and middle-class women concerned with their social welfare. This movement toward social and economic reform was so revolutionary that historians named the early 20th century "the Progressive Era."

The app down loaded and I was able to login, but when I tried to access my exam results and exam table, all that i got was "oops, unable to access results." Whats the use then of this app?
(51 stars)
Thanx Tut. Seems legit.
(51 stars)
This is one useless application. It does not work at all. When you try to login it just says 'Oops you are not connected to the internet' even though you have full internet connection. Useless.

Wish I had bought this sooner...
By Shalini
from Toronto
I recently bought this MiWand scanner. I didn't have any high expectations, but I was in for a real treat. Without any special effort, I can simply glide the MiWand over documents, old photographs, fabric and tile samples, etc., and I have perfect copies to do with as needed. So user friendly...
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We have so much fun with MiWand!!!! Kids and adults alike will enjoy using it. My silly kids even dragged across their faces to see what funny pics they would make, and they sure did!!! Of course, it isn't intended for faces, lol, but it is fun. The only thing I can say I have had a problem with it is opening the battery door. I did it when I first got it with no problem, but now over a year later, I cannot get it open!!! Am going to check the manual in case I am trying to open it wrong. I totally enjoy it and it is very handy to keep receipts and papers that take up so much room and hours to go through if you need them. Saving them with MiWand makes it so easy and fast to get to the item you have saved and now need . Can't go wrong with MiWand!!!!!! :-)
I use for my Genealogy documents.

Dynamic Device
By CAROLINE
from THORNHILL
I'm a senior and purchased this scanner for a birthday gift for myself. Much easier to use than my printer/scanner for my computer.I'm always happy when the Shopping Channel reduces the price on items so I am able to take advantage of the savings, and if I was not pleased with any item, I was able to take advantage of their hassle-free return policy. This item is a keeper.Over the years I have accumulated hundreds of family pictures in many photo albums but because of this scanner, I was able to preserve them all onto my computer and then make a back-up onto flash drives.Thanks once again to the buyers at TSC for bringing innovative items to their viewers!

Foolproof Scanner
By elliemay the junior senior
from Huntsville (Ontario)
I love this product. I take it everywhere especially to the library where I can scan a magazine page or book page easily then take it home and voila - there it is on my computer. It is great!
This portable scanner is excellant.
By Bigitsy
from Alberta
Foolproof! A great bargain. Unlike older models, this one scrolls evenly without distorting the image. The previewer is a definite plus.

I like this product. Easy to setup and use. Worked the 1st time I tried it.

This product is better than advertised on the Shopping Channel. It makes scanning your pictures or documents a snap in either a .pdf or .jpeg format. This is the best device I have seen on the market for scanning documents. I would recommend this device to anyone looking for a document or picture scanner.

Secrets To Bringing An Entrepreneurial Edge To Your Practice
- Volume 24 - Issue 2 - February 2011
- 8031 reads
- 0 comments
Addressing Short-Term And Long-Term Priorities And Issues
Question 5: What is your three-year picture? Paint a vivid picture of what the practice looks like three short years from now. Again, take a simplified approach to strategic planning, which will ultimately be much more effective. Define the future date and then predict your revenue, profit and key measurable data for the year ending on that future date. Then add five to 15 bullet points to paint that picture of what the practice looks like. That way, in your mind's eye, everyone on the team is seeing the exact same thing.
This will accomplish two things. Once you clearly see your three-year picture and where you are going, you are more likely to get there. Secondly, being that clear enables you to better establish discipline and accountability with the "traction" component, and do much better one-year planning.
Question 6: What is your one-year plan? Again, set the future date and predict your revenue, profit and measurable data for the year. Then determine the three to seven most important things that must occur in the next year to be on track with achieving everything in your three-year picture. Do not focus on everything because you actually achieve less when you try to do too much.
Question 7: What are your priorities? With the one-year plan now clear, focus on what really matters in the next 90 days of the practice's life. What are the three to seven most important priorities to accomplish to be on track with achieving everything in the one-year plan? The team comes together each quarter, reviews the past performance and vision, gets back on the same page and then determines what absolutely must happen in the next 90 days. This keeps the entire organization laser focused, gaining much more traction.
Question 8: What are your issues? What are the obstacles, barriers, problems, concerns and opportunities that need to be removed or capitalized on to achieve your vision? In an open and honest environment, staff should enumerate these and add them to the issues list. Address these issues in quarterly meetings.
Final Notes
Answering the eight questions initially gets the practice's leadership team 100 percent on the same page. If you privately surveyed all your doctors and leadership team, and asked what the vision is, you would probably get a different variation of the vision from each person so the idea is to get the entire team seeing eye to eye.
If you have 40 people in your practice, 40 out of 40 need to share your vision and their actions must perpetuate the vision. To the degree everyone's energy in your practice is going in one direction, the practice will get there faster because everyone is focused in the same direction.

To what extent is mutilation of pets for aesthetic or practical reasons unethical?
Tail docking, ear cropping, declawing, debarking, wing clipping, debeaking, dubbing and castration... what is your opinion on the matter? In many countries there is no restriction on animal mutilation. Should these practices be mostly banned, as in Europe? Or can they be considered ethical? Let us know!
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mar 4 2013: I think it is fine to spay and neuter dogs and cats.
In Luxembourg are you able to find loving homes for all the dogs and cats that appear in shelters or are abandoned?
Here are the arguments that the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals suggests for spaying or neutering dogs and cats:
Lori de WetMar 4 2013: Hi Manuel
My understanding is that spaying and neutering differs from castration in the sense that castration refers to the removal of (the dog's) testicles (which of course would have the same outcome). I fully support neutering/spaying as any responsible person should. I haven't done enough research to know whether leaving a dog's testicles in tact would have any health benefits but I do know that "neuticles" are becoming quite common. Prosthetic dog testicles...
To answer your question, I feel that altering an animal's body in any way should only be done for the sole purpose of benefitting the health of the animal. Never, ever for looks or human convenience. I remember when I was 16 years old my grandmother's dog had puppies. The lady who had asked to breed her dog with my grandmother's (that is another topic altogether...) came over soon after the precious little puppies were born. She didn't oooh or aaah over the tiny, perfect babies, she just went over and started PINCHING their little tails off with her bare hands. I was traumatized and screaming for her to stop. Then she acted like I was being dramatic and told me the pups couldn't even feel it. I was mortified and bewildered when I was told it was for aesthetic purposes. Humans can be so brainwashed into believing what they want to believe.
I met a doberman puppy last year. He was the biggest sweetheart who would run to the fence and play with me through the chain link. Then one day he had bandages on both of his little ears. He didn't want to come to the fence to see me at all and was in obvious distress. When I called out to his owner she explained she had his ears "cropped" so he wouldn't look funny when he was older. I couldn't believe this is even legal. The confusing part was I knew she really loved him and cared about him.
I definitely don't think this is ethical. I believe these are unconscionable acts of unnecessary cruelty.
Thank you for asking such an important question.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help many people deal with chronic back pain.
Nonspecific back pain - cognitive behavioral; Backache - chronic - cognitive behavioral; Lumbar pain - chronic - cognitive behavioral; Pain - back - chronic - cognitive behavioral; Chronic back pain - low - cognitive behavioral
CBT is a form of psychological therapy. It usually involves 10 - 20 meetings with a therapist. Thoughts are the "cognitive" part, and actions are the "behavior" part of cognitive behavior therapy.
First your therapist helps you recognize the negative feelings and thoughts that occur when you have back pain. Then your therapist teaches you how to change these into helpful thoughts and healthy actions. Changing your thoughts from negative to positive can help you manage your pain.
It is believed that changing thoughts about pain can change how our bodies respond to pain.
You may not be able to stop physical pain from happening, but with practice you can control how your mind manages the pain. An example is changing a negative thought, such as "I can't do anything anymore," to a more positive thought, such as "I dealt with this before and I can do it again."
A therapist using CBT will help you learn to:
Healthy thinking involves positive thoughts and calming your mind and body by using techniques such as yoga, massage, and imagery. Healthy thinking makes you feel better, and feeling better reduces pain.
CBT can also teach you to become more active. This is important because regular low-impact exercise, such as walking and swimming, can help reduce back pain over the long run.
For CBT to help reduce pain, your treatment goals need to be realistic and your treatment should be done in small steps. For example, your goals may be to see friends more and start exercising. It is realistic to see one or two friends at first and take short walks, maybe just down the block. It is not realistic to reconnect with all of your friends all at once and walk 3 miles at once on your first outing.
Ask your health care provider for names of therapists and see which ones are on your insurance plan.
Contact two to three of the therapists and interview them on the phone. Ask them about their experience in using CBT to manage chronic back pain. If you do not like the first therapist you see, try someone else.

- Great experience at Bella Monica.shughesDined on 9/20/2014Recently had a girls' night at Bella Monica. We ordered a couple flat breads and a couple of pastas, all of which were great. A nice atmosphere for catching up with friends. The restaurant is always busy, but our server was great, even when we hung out at the table for a little while.Special Features:
- Delicious Italian & Gluten FreeDawnstyleDined on 9/19/2014This is by far the best Italian restaurant offering delicious gluten free options. I love the stuffed shells and the gluten free bread is spectacular. All of the gluten free appetizers we have tried have been fabulous. They even have calamari that isn't fried! Their regular food options are also delicious according to those in our party who aren't gluten free.Special Features:

- So AwesomeEmerIsleDined on 9/16/2014This was my 2nd time @Bella Monica, the 1st being about 6 yrs ago & I can't say anything about great things about it. Trevor met my date and I before we even hit the sidewalk. He informed is that our table would be ready shortly & asked if we were celebrating anything, we said yes, a birthday. He then brought us both complimentary glasses of Presseco to have while we waited. Once seated we enjoyed the fact that our server gave us time to talk and enjoy the experience before taking our order, etc. They did not have a shortage of staff and everyone was very attentive. The food...do I need to mention it was AH-mazing. We had the best experience, and cannot wait to go back. Oh! Make Reservations!!! It was a Tuesday night, and it was packed! :-)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Out to pleasebugsDined on 9/16/2014Another wonderful experience. Great food, great service and great attention to details. Well done.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a delightf00dieDined on 9/15/2014I have been going to Bella Monica since it opened, and it has really become a neighborhood treasure. The menu is well developed with delightful specials and excellent standards. The wine list might be overwhelming to some, but I find it wonderful - full of good options. It can feel a little cramped on occasion, but the food is worth it. I have a very specific and unique allergy and they always try to accommodate my special needs, generally without comment or any indication of inconvenience. I no longer live in the area, but when in town, I always try to share a meal there. I cannot recommend the garlic soup enough, or the management (and head chef Corbett) enough!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Italian in Raleighashleyryan8Dined on 9/13/2014Whether its the notable wine selection, the baked ziti or the amazing hot bread you get while waiting for your meal Bella Monica is top notch! Even the owners come out and greet you like if you were family! Will always go here and recommend for guests in town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Average start, but nice finishBDUJeffDined on 9/11/2014We were three couples getting together for a nice dinner and conversation. We ordered three appetizers (mushrooms, brussel sprouts, shrimp). Only the mushroomes were good, sprouts we burnt but undercooked and shrimp was blah. When the entrees were ordered, one person request GF pasta (which they have) and later when the bread came out they also brought out GF bread. (nice touch!) Tried the heirloom salad (which was an upcharge from the standard salad) which is fine, except the standard salad is free so $7.95 for the upcharge. Service was very good. We will definitely return, but will push back with the manager when food, prices, or service don't meet the expectations we have come to expect with Bella Monica.Special Features:

- Almost like grandma used to makeFrac206Dined on 8/22/2014Food was very good, friendly staff.. Only thing was it was hard to talk to the other at the table because the music was up just a little too muchSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Out of Town DinerFoodieVIPDined on 8/21/2014We made a reservation at Bella Monica based on open table reviews. First let me say that the food and service were wonderful!!! We were running late because of a prior commitment so I called to change our reservation time. As a result the only table was outside. The person I spoke with made it perfectly that we would be seated outside. I was wrong in thinking that would be ok. That being said, the heat and flies made the experience uncomfortable. I only mention this because I would warn diners to eat inside ... Again, our food and service was GREAT!!! I would highly recommend Bella Monica as long as you eat inside.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Italian Food in RaleighMiloDavisDined on 8/20/2014Having grown up in the NorthEast, we grew up having numerous awesome Italian restaurants. After moving to Raleigh the last three years have been disappointing when it comes to Italian food. We are thrilled to have found Bella Monica, the Italian restaurant here in Raleigh reminds me of being back in NJ. The owners of Bella Monica are from Brooklyn. And their food is top notch. The staff is also celiac and gluten free certified I believe. All the servers are extremely knowledgable with gluten free menu items. This has now become our must go to place. We bring all friends and family who visit especially from the north here for the excellent italian food.Special Features:
- Can't go wrongOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/20/2014Excellent food, consistently. The lasagna is some of the best on earth. The desserts... well.. gracious...Special Features:
- Mediocre at bestOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 8/16/2014Having eaten at Bella Monica over the past two years, I can definitely say that the quality has steadily worsened over time. More of the recent reviews on yelp also suggest this and overall I'm not sure what the hype is all about. The food is uninspiring and rather mundane and mediocre, akin to what you'd think when you first look at Bella Monica - strip mall Italian. When I first tried it two years ago it was quite the opposite but a few weeks back we dined and the eggplant parm was a raw piece of eggplant on spaghetti, my seafood pasta was weak, and another friend's pork chop was dry. It's a nice cozy place to dine, but not worth the money anymore.
- Reliable and reasonableOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/13/2014Italian consistently good, with attention to gluten free, vegan needs. Handles crowds every night with grace. Great to have this gem as neighbors. You can spend a lot on your romantic date, or have a just right bite at lunch. And your pooch is welcome on the porch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Authentic CuisineYLNotDined on 8/13/2014Bella Monica has food many steps ahead of the cookie-cutter Italian retaurants and attentive, friendly servers, as well. The spinach-stuffed shells are my favorite - cheesy, well-seasoned and cooked just right. They are pricey at $14.99 for lunch, but they are delciious. The ambience is average - nothing special, but they do well with the space they have.
- Great lunchGoOrangeDined on 8/12/2014The menu was fantastic, service great and all around atmosphere was wonderful. Thank you Bella Monica!Special Features:
- deliciouswolfpackadge7777Dined on 8/11/2014The food is always great. They have an awesome salmon dish and a Monday night special that's braised beef with onions and goat cheese in a lasagna form. Delicious! Hands down the best beef carpacio I've ever had. Service was slow. We had a reservation and it took about 15 minutes to be sat. Server took another 5 minutes to get our drink order. She also forgot our carpacio appetizer....but after we reminded her it was on the house...granted it came out, at this point, after our entrees. Overall, still one of my favorite restaurants despite the service issues, occasionally. I would recommend, but not for kids. Reasonably priced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- trevor was great as alwayssasjrmDined on 8/8/2014good food, great music, nice staff & very consistent qualitySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/6/2014Made last minute reservation while doing research at Raleigh library and were very pleased with the service and quality as well as quantity of the food. My daughter-in-law's family runs the same type restaurant in Augusta, Ga and Bella Monica was just as good. It is in a busy shopping center but still has a home town family feel to it.Special Features:
- Best Restaurant in Town!mkmurrayDined on 8/5/2014This has been one of my favorite restaurants in Raleigh for many years. The service is always incredible, everyone is so friendly, & their food is outstanding. Every time! They are always as accommodating as possible, even with large groups, despite how busy they are every single night of the week, & they also add a special touch to your experience when you are celebrating something! You can really tell they appreciate their customers, & that alone is remarkable these days!Special Features:
- Belladianne1Dined on 8/2/2014We always love to eat at Bella Monica's. The food is always good, especially the eggplant rollitini. However, they need to hire more waitstaff on busy nights, especially weekends. We waited a quite a long time, especially for the check. Their music is loud and you have to almost yell to have a conversation when the place is full.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MackVIPDined on 7/26/2014Excellent, as always. Food, service, ambiance is excellent. Well executed operation with a personal touch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Favorite spot to eat a great meaiOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/18/2014love ths place. from the friendlieness of the servers and hostesses, managers, etc. to the fantastic food offerings. Never been disappointed when I've dined here and would highly recommend to anyone.Special Features:
- Anniversary dinnerJojoDined on 7/15/2014We had a great time with friends celebrating our anniversary. Food was wonderful as always. Lasagne was just right combination of the meat, cheese and sauce. Also had the cannelloni which was terrific. Meaty sauce, great flavors. Flatbread also delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1st Time and it was GoodRDUresidentDined on 7/9/2014For mid-week, this place was packed with people! Along with a glass of wine, I had the flatbread pizza and it was very tasty. I followed with dessert, Tiramisu which was excellent. The service was superb; I'd like to point out the General Manager (Josh?) was regularly checking with all of the customers, and made it his point to personally thank customers (or when he couldn't, one of his staff), and open the exit/entrance door for everyone. The bar area was very small and might hold maybe 5 guests; Bella Monica does not have a full-bar service but serves beer and a wide variety of Italian wines. My only suggestion might be to offer a full-bar selection. It seems like most of the neighborhood eats here and I can see why.Special Features:
- Bella MonicausetobeVIPDined on 7/7/2014We've lost count on the number of times we have been to Bella Monica. The food, service and atmosphere are fantastic. It is especially great for those with food allergies. They can accomodate those who eat Gluten Free, Vegetarian or Vegan with wonderfully plated meals that are abound with flavor. We will always recommend BM to our friends, family and co-workers.....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Service, Food okdeputydinerDined on 7/2/2014This was my second time dining at Bella Monica. We had a special occasion and Bella Monica did a wonderful job. We had a gluten free diner in our group and they accommodated his needs incredibly well. Food was good for all except the pasta with the pesto sauce was quite a disappointment. Frankly it was awful. If I hadn't been in a group I would have sent it back. All others in the group seemed pleased with their food. The bread was yummy and the complimentary dessert was out of this world. The first time I dined here the food was wonderful so perhaps this was just an off day for pesto. I would go back for a special occasion because Bella Monica did that right!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very accommodating!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/30/2014We booked our reservation for a group of moms with babies. The staff was very accommodating. They provided several high chairs and breadsticks for the kids. They were not bothered by our noises or messes! I've always loved this place for girls nights and date nights...now I love it for family time, too.Special Features:
- Very PleasedbuzzardDined on 6/28/2014This restaurant served wonderful and abundant food and featured great service provided by friendly and accommodating staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent gluten free optionsdaltonj001Dined on 6/28/2014We were quite excited to find a nice restaurant with such great gluten free options as well as excellent pizza. Loved the brunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very disappointingPfistyuncDined on 6/26/2014I scheduled a business lunch there on Thursday and it was a disaster. Parking was almost impossible and eventually I had to park at the bank all the way across the street. The service was slow and completely disinterested and the food was terrible. Usually their food was pretty good but not this time. I had a meatball parm sub with a Caesar salad and both were just a wet sloppy mess. Overall it was a very disappointing experience and certainly embarrassing for me as the one who suggested this spot for a business lunch.
- Makes special days specialOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 6/24/2014My wife and I have always loved the food at Bella Monica. The Lasagna is fabulous. We have enjoyed dining here on special occasions like birthday's and anniversaries because they make an extra effort to make them special. Just be sure to mention what occasion you are celebrating in the notes to the Restaurant when using OpenTable.Special Features:

Go wild with duct tape to create these simple, comfy critter costumes.
Download a complete materials list and illustrated step-by-step directions.
The Stripes: To make cutting easier, stick a strip of duct tape to a piece of parchment paper. Then cut out the strip, tapering the ends (our tiger stripes measure about 16 inches long, the zebra stripes about 30 inches long; all were cut to fit as needed). Repeat, arranging the stripes on the sweatshirt and pants as you work.
When you have sufficient stripes and an arrangement you like, peel the stripes off the parchment backing and affix them to the fabric.
The Ears: Cut out craft foam ear shapes as shown; you can use our template. For the zebra, affix inner ears cut from white duct tape. Pinch each ear so its bottom corners meet and staple it.
Attach the ears to the tiger's headband or the zebra's hood with black duct tape.
The Tail: Lay an 18-inch strip of duct tape sticky side up (use orange tape for the tiger, black tape for the zebra). Lay a second strip sticky side down atop the first strip, overlapping it by about half. Fold the sticky margins over as shown.
For the tiger's tail, cut a curve in the tip and add stripes with the black marker. For the zebra's tail, fold a 6- by 8-inch strip of foam into thirds, cut fringe, and tape the tassel to the tail's end. Hold the tail to the pant's rear waistband, trim it as needed, then tape it to the waistband.
The Zebra's Mane: Cut fringe into the shorter side of 2- by 3-inch pieces of black and white craft foam (we used 8 pieces of each).
Lay the fringed pieces down the center of the sweatshirt's back, then affix them by applying long strips of black duct tape along both sides. To curve the mane over the top of the hood, attach the fringed pieces individually, using shorter strips of tape.

A Pennsylvania family drove a thousand miles to Oklahoma City to make a very special delivery. Their van was stuffed with more than a thousand stuffed animals collected through one of their local school districts.
Rachel and TJ Weinwrich say they felt helpless watching the news reports right after the tornadoes in May. They decided to put those worries to action and asked people to donate items to the youngest victims of the storm.
"Me and TJ both have our special stuffed animal that we've had since we were little that just mean everything to us," said Rachel Weinwrich. "We figure if they lost everything they also lost their special friend so we wanted to give them a new one that they could have."
Those stuffed animals will be passed out at five back-to-school events in August including one in Moore, Oklahoma.

From class to the trail.
Patagonia's Refugio Backpack transitions from campus to hiking trails with ease. Just take your laptop out of the pack's padded pocket to leave space for your hydration reservoir. You can also replace your school books with snacks and trekking poles, or you can take it all with you just in case you get inspiration to finally write that essay. Air Flow mesh makes the shoulder straps and back panel comfortably breathable and plush, and Patagonia built the rest of this backpack out of a highly durable polyester, and treated it with a water-resistant coating for protection.

The March 21st Issue of the Islander
Early bird visitors flocking to Acadia National Park this spring may be in for a surprise when they find that the Park Loop Road, Cadillac Mountain Road and Hulls Cove Visitor Center are closed until May 19, thanks to the sequester.
Speaking of lockdowns, Mount Desert Island Elementary School prepared for the worst on Tuesday during an after-school safety drill. Only teachers and local law enforcement were involved, so students were free to head home and enjoy the last day of winter, which fittingly brought a fresh blanket of snow and school delays.
Make way for the Jesup Memorial Library, which hopes for a zoning change that will allow expansion and renovation of Bar Harbor bookworms' favorite haunt. Meanwhile, a new art studio has come to town, adding a splash of color to the (mostly) unwelcome winter wonderland.
Despite the snow, the lucky owners of elver fishing licenses likely have a spring in their step this week, as the season starts on Friday. The heat is on as all 408 of them will scramble to net the slippery critters until the season closes on May 31.
Quarry operators are in a quandary as Mount Desert votes to restrict the rules on quarrying, and Tremont residents wonder will they or won't they when it comes to well water treatment options.
Find out if the MDI High jazz band hit all the high notes, why area businesses are advertising no ifs, ands or buts, whether the Harbor House Shootout was a slam dunk, and more in this week's issue.

It's April Fool's Day and the only jokes being played on fans across the National Football League don't involve fans of the Green Bay Packers.
That's because those jokes involve the guys who play the most important position on the team – quarterback. There's no joke with the Packers – they have the best player in the league, bar none, and the team's going to reward him for it – very soon.
Have you seen what's going on around the league lately? You've got quarterbacks changing teams faster than an Aaron Rodgers laser to Randall Cobb; you've got teams signing quarterbacks for way more than they're worth (Tony Romo) – and former quarterbacks calling them on it (Donovan McNabb); and you've got injured quarterbacks healing and seeking solace from the President of the United States (RGIII).
We've seen former Packers backup quarterback Matt Flynn hightailing it out of Seattle after sitting on the bench for a season and landing in Oakland; you've got a soon-to-be former Raiders quarterback (Carson Palmer) with his bags packed and waiting to go to Arizona; you've got former Arizona Cardinals and former Philadelphia Eagles QB Kevin Kolb headed to Buffalo to fight it out for a job with Tarvaris Jackson (remember him?); and of course we've got the stories about Tony Romo signing a long-term extension with the Cowboys for millions too much, Donovan McNabb complaining about it, and all that topped by Robert Griffin III being invited to the White House.
So much drama – very little impact when it comes to winning games on the gridiron.
Compare that with what's going on in Green Bay. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has done it right once again. He is about to become the richest man in the National Football League and you haven't heard one word from him about it. Those close to the situation are saying that the deal could be announced literally at any moment with the latest information indicating the sides were only $2 million apart in their negotiations. That's minimal when you consider the millions upon millions of dollars that will make up those final numbers.
Yes, we're spoiled when it comes to quarterbacks – at least we have been for the past two decades. With Brett Favre hanging on for 16 years as a Packers quarterback and Rodgers following up those years of longevity with his own run the past 5-plus years, there are some young Packers fans who know nothing but success from that position. Of course, they don't remember the Jerry Tagges, the Randy Whites, the Anthony Dilwegs, the John Hadls and the Carlos Browns.
Count you blessings, Packers fans, because when Rodgers signs that multi-year extension we will continue on for many more years (God forbidding any injuries) with a quarterback who has Hall of Fame written all over him.
And when you watch all these other teams struggle with finding a franchise quarterback, understand it's clearly not an easy thing to do.
Just feel good about not having to worry about having a Tarvaris Jackson as your quarterback.
You've got it pretty lucky these days, folks …

FORT WAYNE – Daniel Miller hopes he's the needle in the haystack.
Surrounded by hundreds of fellow job hunters during a job fair Friday at IPFW, the 30-year-old did his best to stand out.
He started by attending a news conference hosted by the event's sponsors, IPFW and Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-3rd.
He and I have spoken before about my ideas about ammonia fuel as it relates to the agricultural industry, said Miller, who describes himself as an aspiring entrepreneur from Huntertown.
I got my master's degree from Saint Francis, so I want to try and find work here because the school isn't known outside of our region as much. It does help to know people.
Organizers estimated about 900 converged on IPFW's campus for what officials call one of the area's most well-attended employment expos. About 50 employers had nearly 1,000 positions to fill. Companies included 80/20 Inc., BAE Systems Inc., Costco Wholesale Corp., PepsiCo Inc. and Westpoint Financial Group. The Fort Wayne metropolitan statistical area saw unemployment rise to 8.2 percent in June from 7.7 percent the previous month.
After co-sponsoring the job fair with Stutzman's office for three years, IPFW spokeswoman Nicole Wilkins said organizers think it's time to conduct a formal company survey. They want to learn just how many people actually landed jobs.
That is something that we've talked about and will do, Wilkins said. We feel it is important to know. We'll probably start surveying employers a few weeks after the fair.
Stutzman said job candidates should explore various employment options.
The economy is still moving and changing, Stutzman said.
Job hunters may find careers in areas they hadn't considered, he said, so it pays to be flexible.
Travis Sutton is doing just that. The 20-year-old Ivy Tech Community College junior said he's just feeling out the job market, but if an opportunity arises he'll grab it.
I've been a computer programmer for a while now and know that there could be something out there, he said.
An internship, a job co-op opportunity or something similar would pique Sutton's interest, he said.
I have a job, so I'm working and going to school, Sutton said. It's always good to see what's out there.
Brunswick Corp. participated in the job fair. It is investing $8 million at its new location, the former Manitowoc Foodservice on North Hadley Road. The high-end pontoon boat maker announced the move from West State Boulevard in June.
The company also expects to double its workforce with 200 additional employees by 2016.
We're looking for the right person for the job, said Mark Schaefer, human resources manager for Brunswick. When you come to a job fair, you hope to find what you're looking for.

Also, my partner and I are members of a CSA here in the Chicago area, which stands for Community Supported Agriculture. We purchase a "share" of a local farm every year (for the spring and summer seasons) and pick up our box of goodies each week at a local drop-off site. Any of you do that? Perhaps we are getting the same veggies and fruits and can share ideas about what else we can do with a box of beets or kohlrabi!
Finally--and this is almost off topic--but what do you think of the spiritual life of plants (or their spiritual residue of past owners or their spiritual interaction with humans)? Clearly, nature is infused with the spirit source--thank you, Whitman, Emerson, Thoreau, Coleridge, Oliver, Berry, Muir, Abbey, etc, etc, etc! I have a specific example/question that I am reminded of during each morning meditation sit. In my yoga/meditation room at home, I have two plants that belonged to my dear (best) friend who died 2 years ago (a sudden tragic death at the young age of 37). In the room, there are other artifacts of her as well . . .but the plants--lately, I have had the realization, or question rather, that the oxygen that her plants are breathing out to me now as I sit in meditation each morning may actually be the residual effects of her breath--her CO2--that she gave to those plants? I don't know if this is biologically correct at all, but it is quite a powerful thought to meditate upon each morning . . . a beautiful circle of life . . . creation and destruction . . . and the ongoing presence of spirit . . . om shiva om.
Well the Inca Shamans have a healing ritual that they perform
to get rid of heavy energy in one's energy body. i used to
practice it regularly, but haven't for centuries now. (just kidding).
(or maybe not. Ha!) They call this heavy energy Hucha. They
don't define energy as being good or bad, but rather light and
heavy and they say that humans are the only living things on
mother earth who create it. Anyway Hucha is the heavy energy
and Sami is the light energy and all the work is done thru the
spiritual stomach. We draw the light energy from the sky while
sending the heavy energy down to Mother Earth. They say the
Hucha does not hurt Mother Earth; that she makes use of it
much like she makes use of compost or manure to help her
grow beautiful and necessary things.
As for plants absorbing and retaining our energy? Maybe; but
i can't imagine it. They seem to feel love and neglect though;
if they have to rely on us (the wild plants aren't effected by
us at all, i don't think) but i don't think they retain the carbon
dioxide they take in from us but rather transform it immediately
to oxygen, much like we do the opposite thru our own breathing.
i usually sleep pretty well but i couldn't sleep tonight for
some reason. Maybe now i can.
i may have been hasty in stating that the wild ones aren't
effected by us. there are the pesticides that reach them
and other pollutants, i imagine. But do they adapt through
time like we do eventually to just about everything that
comes along?
