Three diets found effective for weight management in children
A study comparing 3 weight-loss diets for children with obesity found that all were effective, but some children adhere to certain programs better than others.
Researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center randomly assigned 102 children aged 7 to 12 years with obesity to a low-carbohydrate, reduced glycemic-load, or portion-controlled diet for 12 months. During the first 3 months, the children received weekly dietary counseling and group exercise sessions every other week. They continued their assigned diets on their own for the next 9 months. Their height, weight, body fat, and several other clinical measures, including cardiovascular risk factors, were taken at baseline and again after 3, 6, and 12 months. Of the 102 children enrolled, 85 completed the study.
Daily caloric intake decreased from baseline at all time points in all diet groups. Adherence to the low-carbohydrate diet, however, was consistently lower than to other diets, whereas adherence to the reduced glycemic-load diet was consistently high. After 3 months, children on each diet showed improvements in body mass index (BMI), percentage of body fat, and waist circumference. The reductions in BMI and percentage of body fat were maintained at 12 months; however, none of the groups maintained the reduction in waist circumference at 12 months. Improvements in some clinical measures were seen in all groups.
The researchers note that children in all 3 groups were successful in maintaining a reduced caloric intake, even in the final 9 months of the study when they did not receive guidance or counseling from the research staff. They add that an intensive initial intervention with any of these diets could lead to long-term successful weight management. Because adherence was best to the reduced glycemic-load diet, they suggest that this may be the most promising approach for children.
Youngest children in class more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD
A study of Canadian children found that the youngest children in the class are significantly more likely to be diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and prescribed medication than their peers in the same grade. Find out why overdiagnosis and overprescribing are a concern.
BMI shifts with cardiometabolic changes common in middle-school students
A study of a large, multiethnic sample found that shifts in body mass index (BMI) are common in middle-school students. Are these changes associated with meaningful changes in cardiometabolic risk factors?
Simple steps can reduce children's injury risk
A study based on a nationally representative sample showed that, on average, 1 child younger than 5 years is treated in an emergency department every 6 minutes for a stair-related injury. See what simple precautions can be taken to reduce the number of injuries.

When I was sorting out stuff I always try to get rid of some polishes as well – as much as I love them all, there are dupes, and there are the ones that just don't look good with my skin tone. Long story short, I had once ordered this pretty Spa Ritual Mini called Spirit Child and never wore it. So I thought it might get rid of it, but you know what? Those Spa Ritual polishes hold surprises, What looked like a regular metallic red turned out to be one of the most vibrant, streak-free, glowing-from-the-inside reds I ever wore. Needless to say that this one now has a fixed place in my stash.
I used two coats, and the gold shimmer you can see in the bottle mixes with the red pigment so well, that the whole polish has sort of a glow to it, but it isn't metallic or streaky. Drying time was surprisingly fast, and Spa Ritual makes it a point to mention that their polish is vegan. (Whatever that means when it comes to a product such as nail polish, but hey, whatever.)
I am super excited to receive the Minnie Mouse polishes in the mail soon, and I can't wait to layer Nothin' Mousie 'bout it over Spirit Child. But for now, Love your Life from Nicole by OPI did the trick! I had to fish out the hearts, obviously, and unfortunately the bottle shape from the NOPI bottles doesn't help. In any case, I love the little hearts somehow, and then there are similar iridescent glitters as the ones from China Glaze Snow globe in the clear base. I used one coats of Love your Life and then I used a toothpick to place the hearts.
I'm sorry to picture spam you, but I absolutely loved this manicure, and hence I made too many pics.
What do you think about the hearts? Too much or cute?

About Us
Meals on Wheels of Charlottesville/Albemarle is an independent, non-profit organization, founded in 1977 by Church Women United. Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver hot, nutritious meals to the ill, aging and convalescing residents of the Charlottesville/Albemarle area who find it difficult or impossible to prepare meals for themselves.
Meals are delivered at lunchtime every Monday through Friday, including all holidays that fall on weekdays. We currently have an active volunteer force of over 300 and serve meals to approximately 250 clients in the city of Charlottesville and the county of Albemarle.
As an independent, local organization, Meals on Wheels receives no state and very limited federal funding for its operating budget. Instead, Meals on Wheels relies on contributions from individuals, businesses, and organizations in our community to support its home-delivered meals program. Some clients can pay the full cost of their meals and the Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA) provides subsidies for certain individuals over age 60 who meet their eligibility requirements, but the vast majority of our clients receive meals paid for through community contributions made directly to Meals on Wheels.
Meals are prepared under the supervision of a registered dietician at Kluge Children's Rehabilitation Center and each client's dietary needs are met. Medically appropriate diets are available including diabetic, renal, sodium restricted, heart healthy, vegetarian and soft or pureed food.
Meals on Wheels is happy to be able to provide special services for our recipients as well. In the fall, we deliver our "blizzard bags" which include several days' worth of nonperishable food to use if and when hot meals cannot be delivered because of inclement weather. We celebrate most holidays with tray favors, all client birthdays with gifts & cards, and Christmas with gifts. Through a client bulletin we distribute information about free services available in the community. And, we have a small lending library of books. These extras would not be possible without the generous help we've received through the years from volunteers, local businesses and community groups.
Meals on Wheels provides a source of daily social contact for people who would otherwise be alone. It also allows for earlier release from hospitals and long term care facilities and helps keep elderly and disabled persons out of institutions altogether. It can help older married couples to remain together and gives many people the opportunity to live in their own homes for longer periods of time. Because volunteers check on meal recipients every day, people who live alone can feel safe, knowing that someone would notice if anything were to happen to them.

April Stools Day 2014April 6th, 2014
Join us Sunday, April 27th, at 10am for our annual pre-season cleanup. We can always use a few more volunteers, and we assure you, it's less messy than it sounds. For more information, feel free to drop us a line at email@example.com, or post on our Facebook page. See you at the Barkyard!
State of the Bark 2014January 4th, 2014
Each year at this time, we take a moment to look back over the year that has passed and review what we have accomplished. 2013 saw the return of three of our annual projects.
Early spring brought with it April Stools Day—our biannual clean up day. Late spring we were thrilled to repeat our Mitzhah Day with our friends from Temple Beth Zion and Westminster Presbyterian Church. It was our largest turnout ever, and with all hands on deck we were able to complete the re-staining of our information kiosks and tackle some other general maintenance issues. Thank you to all who participated!
With autumn, we were back at the Barkyard and busy with Back to Stool—the other half of our clean up program. I am pleased to report that at each clean up event there was less to take care of than ever before. Thank you to everyone who is duty-diligent in this regard.
The most noticeable physical change at the Barkyard is without a doubt our wonderful shelter mural. Our Board of Directors reached out to the folks at Community Canvases for their help in improving the appearance of our shelter. We now have a beautiful Franz Marc inspired mural. This work celebrates the dynamism of our four-legged friends—both large and small. The dogs pictured were inspired by actual Barkyard visitors, thus ensuring their joyful expressions! We would like to thank everyone at Community Canvases for a very successful collaboration.
The change at the Barkyard that we are most grateful for comes from all of you—our users. From the very beginning, we knew that the future success of the park would be dictated by its users. Over the course of the past few years, the regular visitors have taken ownership of the park. This shared sense of possession is what will ensure the continued accomplishments of the Barkyard. It is the only way any of our off-leash areas can function and we thank each and every park user that has embraced this commitment.
We have more plans for 2014 and welcome all of you to offer us feedback and share your ideas.
To continue to manage the park safely and make the necessary improvements we really do need your help. Our biggest challenge is to remind people that we are a not-for-profit group that runs solely on donations from pet-loving individuals like yourself. We cannot do it alone.
Thank you again for continuing to make Buffalo's first off leash area a great success.

The Barkyard is sponsoring the mural to be done in the style of Franz Marc.
Buffalo, N.Y. – This Saturday, October 12th, Community Canvases artists and board members, Jim Montour and Elaine O'Toole, will begin work on a new mural in The Barkyard, coordinated by Joseph Lonzi and Jay McCarthy.
Done in the style of German Expressionist, Franz Marc, the mural will incorporate a variety of breeds of dog. The project is funded by The Barkyard and has the full support of its president, Josephy Lonzi.
Buffalo School Board member, Jay McCarthy (North District) helped coordinate the event and shared his excitement over its commencement, "I am excited, as vice president of the Barkyard and a board member of Community Canvases, to see this project, which will improve upon the existing structure with an exciting artistic element."
A table with art supplies will be set up to encourage children of all ages to come down to The Barkyard on Saturday and draw a picture of their own dog. Their artwork will even be hung up at the park.
Community Canvases Vice President, Jim Montour, can't wait to bring two of his passions together with the piece, stating, "I live for art and for animals, so this is a dream project for me. Partnering Community Canvases with The Barkyard is an exciting prospect for us, so we hope it sparks more conversation and even more public art!"
Back To Stool 2013September 3rd, 2013
Join us Sunday, September 29th, at 10am for a little year-end cleanup. We could always use a few more volunteers, and we assure you, it's less messy than it sounds. For more information, feel free to drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com, or post on our Facebook page. See you at the Barkyard!
Mitzvah Day 2013July 2nd, 2013
On Sunday, May 19th, we celebrated our 3rd annual Mitzvah Day at the Barkyard. Eager volunteers from Temple Beth Zion and Westminster Presbyterian Church joined Barkyard Board Members in refurbishing our information kiosks. We had a terrific turnout, and a few park users even lent their hands to the project. Our thanks to all who participated in making this our biggest Mitzvah Day ever!
Many thanks!
April Stool's Day – 2013April 2nd, 2013
On Sunday, April 21st at 10am, The Barkyard will undergo its annual spring cleanup.
We are often asked "how can I help?" While it's not the most glamorous event to volunteer for, this is one of the most basic ways to volunteer for The Barkyard and get involved. It's not nearly as gross as you might expect, and you're bound to meet some friendly folks—as well as the ever-so-happy-to-be-there dogs.
To volunteer, simply send us an email, or leave us a message at 716-218-0303. Your help is greatly appreciated!
State of the Bark – 2013January 8th, 2013
The Buffalo Off-Leash Area, Inc. Board of Directors, operators and overseers of The Barkyard, would like to thank everyone for their continued support over the past year. Each year we are pleased to see growth in our Barkyard family, making it a second home to more people and their pooches.
This past year we gave an identity to our beloved mascot. We needed your help in this important task; giving a name to this forever running dog. Through our hugely popular, open to all, contest we selected a winning name from over 1,000 submissions—Lola. It suits her perfectly. She is happy to have a real identity and I believe in 2013, she will finally find her voice. So keep watching—I think Lola will have lots to say!
We spruced up our benches this year with help from our friends on Mitzvah Day, as well as installed new bulletin board cases. We also made the decision to do away with poop bags that we purchased, in favor of recycled grocery and newspaper bags that park users bring. We thank everyone for their assistance in this new system.
We have more plans for 2013, including improved signage, new benches, and some great educational events are planned as well.
To continue to manage the park safely and make the necessary improvements we really do need your help. Our biggest challenge is to remind people that we are a not-for-profit group that runs solely on donations from pet-loving individuals like yourself. We cannot do it alone.
Thank you again for continuing to make Buffalo's first off leash area a great success.

Visit us at the 2012 Elmwood Avenue Festival of the ArtsAugust 24th, 2012
Come visit with some of our volunteers at the 2012 Elmwood Avenue Festival of the Arts. We'll be outside of Elmwood Pet Supplies on Saturday, from 10am to 2pm. While the event is open to pets, we recommend they stay home. Festivals tend to be too hot and overstimulating to most pets.
How to keep dogs cool and avoid heatstrokeJune 26th, 2012
The heat of the summer is here! To keep our canine friends comfortable, please follow the suggestions below, and avoid a trip to the emergency vet.
Plenty of water
When your dog pants, he is cooling off by evaporating saliva and water on his tongue. This cooling process requires water. So always be sure your dog has plenty of fresh water.
Avoid midday sun
Plan your trips to The Barkyard (or other dog-friendly park) early in the day or late in the afternoon to avoid the heat of the day—especially if you have a dog with a "smooshed" face (such as a Pug, Bulldog, Boston Terrier, Shih Tsu or Pekingese).
Also, be careful if your dog is dark brown or black, since dark fur absorbs heat quickly. If you doubt it, next time you and your dog are with other canine friends in the sun, place your hand on your dog's back and feel the heat. Then place it on the back (with the owner's permission of course) of a light-colored or white dog—you will notice a big difference!
Never leave your dog in a vehicle
Even with windows open, parked cars can quickly—within 10 minutes—reach temperatures that cause heatstroke for a dog. I know your dog looks at you with those doe eyes and begs to come with you on car rides, but don't buy it! He's safer and comfortable at home.
Festivals and street fairs are no place for dogs
Unless it's a dog festival, leave your dog home when you go to local summer events and concerts. Hot pavement, such as asphalt, cement, and tar / blacktop, can burn a dog's paws—many dogs will lie down to avoid it.
Take breaks
If your dog is particularly exuberant and loves to run and play without taking breaks, be sure he does take a break every few minutes to avoid overheating. Early signs of heatstroke can include any of the following symptoms: bright red tongue, heavy drooling, heavy or rapid breathing, or reduced coordination. If you see any of these symptoms in your dog, use water at the fountain to cool him off, then head to the nearest veterinary hospital to take good care of your best friend.
Thanks for bringing your dog to The Barkyard!
6th Annual Run for RoverJune 1st, 2012
Join us at the 6th annual Run for Rover, right next to the Barkyard in LaSalle Park.
Run for Rover, a USATF-certified 5k run / walk for people at The Pavilion at LaSalle Park on Buffalo's waterfront, benefits the Pet Emergency Fund. The course around the park is flat and smooth. There are prizes, dog washing, pet sitting, refreshments, animal welfare / provider information, and much, much more!
Dog Days of KenmoreMay 20th, 2012
Join us at the Dog Days of Kenmore, Sunday, June 24th, from noon to 4pm.
The Dog Days of Kenmore is a fun, free event for canines and their people; a celebration of dogs and the enjoyment and interest they bring to our lives! The Dog Days excitement includes dog sports, contests with prizes, education and training, dog vendors and activities, treats for humans and canines, and much more! Well socialized, friendly dogs are welcome at the event; water and shade will be provided.
April Stools Day 2012March 26th, 2012
This year's April Stools Day will be Sunday, April 15th at 10:00am.
As usual, we can use all the help we can get, so if you can spare some time to help keep the Barkyard a fun, safe, and clean place to visit, please stop by!
Our mascot has a name!March 1st, 2012
And her name is Lola! The winning name was submitted by Kathleen Hackford, who won our grand prize of $400.
The runner up, Dash, was submitted by Don Mitchell, with a prize of $100 to Dash's Market (completely a coincidence).
Both prizes were donated by a Friend of the Barkyard.
Thank you to the over 1,000 people who submitted names!

Breakpal Review
I was able to review this site called Breakpal.
Breakpal is this really cool site that helps get you exercising during your day. It's especially great for people that sit at a desk all day long [like yours truly]. When you first go to it, it downloads a widget that hangs out on your computer screen, and every so often Liz [the creator] pops up and tells you it's time to exercise. You then go in and pick which exercise you would like to do, and you do it! You can pick from a bunch of different types of exercises, most of which can be done sitting at a desk. A little video plays and shows you how to do the exercise, and does it with you for 2-3 minutes. That's all it takes! I've got mine set to pop up every 60 minutes, so I'm [attempting] to get in a few minutes each hour. Not only is it great for your mind and body, it also is a great mini-break from work. Say you work an 8-hour day, and you exercise for 3 minutes once an hour [SO easy]. That's 24 minutes of exercise that you wouldn't have gotten that day! You can choose to have it pop up every 30 minutes, which would give you 48 minutes. WOW! How many of you can say that you can easily find 48 minutes in your day to exercise? Not me! But this makes it easy.
I actually really like doing the exercises, the breathing especially. The only downside to it is I think I would feel weird doing it in an office full of people, but that's the price you pay to get in the exercise needed! I do enjoy this program and recommend it; especially for my desk-working friends.
Buy it!
You can purchase a Breakpal membership here for only $9.95 a month. Much cheaper than a gym membership!

OCT, 2012 James Knight A client recently told me he was through with China, after more than 6 years trying to make money in the environmental and clean-tech sector. Reluctantly, he had become an adherent to short-term capitalism — if you have knowledge and expertise to sell, do it as quickly as you can for as much as you can, because that is all you will be able to do. However, I was struck by what he went on to say: Brazil is his next market. He sees a much greater appetite for equitable exchange, rather than forced transfer of people and practices. His timing is good. With the Olympics and World Cup coming, Brazil is crying out for good partners: AECOM, the company that designed London's Olympic Park, already has the Rio master plan contract.

I feel so out of control not knowing when my conception date was. I know, I sound soo silly. I get it. But I'm one of those control freaks who need to know. I didn't know with my first, but we were trying. I knew with my second and third, and feel very educated about the whole process (charting, fertile days, o dates, ewcm, etc). And since this was an oops, I know it could have been between Mar31 and Apr7...but that's not good enough for me!!! I guess because my due date is at the end of December and I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want a December baby. Of course I'm happy with healthy and that's all I ask for, but please if we can, stay in til January! We are huge Christmas celebrators and I really don't want this to change our tradition. Yes, I understand that things might not go my way, but I really want them to :laugh:
Then I start thinking about January, which means I'll go overdue. I have 9 pound babies. I was lucky my last was only 7 pounds, but she was also 2 days early. My other two were 9 pounds and having a 9 pounder naturally is freaking me out!! I know I sound like a mess, and silly. A part of my issue with it is I have to wait until DECEMBER/JANUARY to know lol!! I'm a "I need to know right now" kinda person. I shouldn't even be complaining about anything, but I am. Thanks for making it this far :eyeroll: This is exactly how I feel right now ----> :crazy:

In the Baby Zone with Kelly Rutherford
Every mom has a secret or two they'll never tell, but Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford opens up on her golden rule, worst parenting moment, and more. In fact, mom to son Hermes (born in October 2006) and daughter Helena (born in June 2009) gives the XOXO when it comes to the Baby Zone.
What's your golden rule of parenting?
I use the golden rule in that I treat my children the way I like to be treated—with love, patience, and respect.
Describe the best moment of parenting so far.
There are too many. I truly enjoy every day with my kids. They remind me what joy is—being in the moment and not taking things too seriously. Humor is a great healer and a way to educate.
And the worst?
Is when I forget the pacifier or baby wipes, or when I have not gotten enough sleep … which is usually when this happens [laughs].
Best advice you ever got?
Our children are actually here to teach us—that they are little Buddhas!
What's the one thing you can't live without?
The Little Einsteins, Diego, Dora… Those few moments when the kids are happily watching something that is actually educational and I can get the laundry done [laughs]!
Finish this sentence: You know you're in the Baby Zone when…
… you are walking around with Cheerios in your hair and you don't even know it.

Thirteen-year-old Daisy Thorpe (Ashley Rose Orr) goes missing in a small upstate New York town that remains shaken by the unsolved murder of the local cleric's 13-year-old daughter, Amber (Megan Lusk), seven years ago. The team tries to determine if the same person is responsible for both crimes. As Martin and Danny work from the office, Jack and Samantha are forced to contend with the town's territorial and ineffective local sheriff, whose lead suspect for both cases is Curtis Horne (John Krasinski), the lowlife boyfriend of the murdered girl. The team wonders if the missing Daisy may have gotten too close to the truth of Amber's murder when the agents discover that she recently hounded Reverend Isaac Bryce (Randy Oglesby - Enterprise) to discuss his now-deceased daughter. Daisy was obsessed with and outraged by the fact that Amber's killer had never been found. Meanwhile, Vivian remains home for health reasons, and Martin and Samantha's relationship reaches a defining moment.

- Love this place!OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/14/2014We have always had great service and great food at this Macs location. We are disappointed to hear that they are moving up to Grapevine, but we will still try and join them there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Hit the spot!lonestarcornhuskerDined on 8/8/2014My daughter and I were in the area for a tennis tournament. We both had delicious bacon-wrapped filet mignon--cooked to perfection. Pre-dinner salad was served family style--which seemed unusual but I ended up really liking. Our waitress was top-notch---she seemed to have a sixth sense about what we wanted and did not want--just perfect. They had some live music--a guitarist--that was a bit too loud for my liking but was enjoyable. Sadly, he was essentially invisible---it would be nice if they could find a way to showcase the artist---he was off in a dark little nook--my daughter did not even realize the music was live. Food was good--salad, steak, potato--just what we wanted and done just right.Special Features:
- Monday night with great griendscoblia38Dined on 8/4/2014Two of us had the same thing, Trout Almondine, which wasn't very on this evening. There was quantity but not quality. The other two had different items and seemed to be fine with their selection. Since they are moving to Grapevine soon and it was a slow night they didn't have their A Team in the kitchen. My wife and I will give them another chance before we invite guests again.Special Features:
- Consistent QualityPoppaDVIPDined on 8/2/2014My family has enjoyed eating at Mac's Steak and Seafood in Colleyville for years. They consistently put out a quality product at a moderate price. I had the 12 oz. Top Sirloin, and it was very good. My companions had the Salmon Special and they were also pleased. We all had the bottomless salad and the wonderful warm bread.Special Features:
- Prime Rib A+++DFWFoodieDined on 7/25/2014The Prime Rib here is fantastic. I have been here twice now and had the Prime Rib both time, just to make sure the first time was not a fluke.Special Features:

- Great experience!kevinbuck9Dined on 6/16/2014We visited Mac's after flying in to DFW - we were ready for a real meal! Mac's provided a great experience and wonderful service. The food was delicious as well! The steak was cooked perfectly, and I suggest grabbing a bite of the mac n cheese!
- Warm & FriendlyunionBOBDined on 6/15/2014It took longer to find a parking place than it did to be shown to a table. The service was excellent. We had a party of three and everyone had a good time and enjoyed the food.Special Features:
- Pricey food in a nice atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/15/2014We enjoyed our brunch at Mac's overall. The restaurant has tasty food and excellent service; however, the food is pricey. They had many Tex-Mex brunch selections which were not up to Tex-Mex restaurant quality. Also, the salad and fruit bar was lacking in selection. It is an overstatement to say "salad bar" when it had lettuce, tomatoes, blue cheese, onions and dressing as the only salad selections. The fruit selection was much better. Also, the menu included an option for "house salad and unlimited trips to the fruit bar." We read this to mean that the waiter would bring a house salad and then you would be able to frequent the fruit bar; however, what it meant merely was unlimited access to the sparse salad and fruit bar.Special Features:
- Staff and foodBubbieDined on 6/14/2014Friendly and attentive staff. Great selection of appetizers and entrees. We will definitely go again.Special Features:

- Good - But Get The Order RightTheCase2Dined on 5/10/2014Our experience and our food was very good for Mother's Day. The only problem we had was with a new server. Now, I'll cut him some slack, but when he didn't bring out my macaroni and cheese with the rest of my meal, I hope he learned a lesson about attentive service and how important that is to customers. The food was great all around, from the Cajun popcorn to the chicken-fried steak to the salmon. Mac's always has reliable food worth coming back for.Special Features:
- Great place for date nightKandLVIPDined on 5/2/2014Best filets you will find for under $30 - nice fish selection too. Their house salad is also a favorite and the service is unbeatable. They have a talented one man band playing twice a week that is fun and easy to talk over.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointed...Love2dineoutDined on 5/2/2014Two hostess neither friendly, nice waiter but our food still came out cold, music was great! We eat there often and it's usually great. Anyone can have an off night. We'll give them another chance soon!Special Features:

- Never a disappointmentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/26/2014I've been going to Mac's for many years and remains a favorite of mine. A great date restaurant as well as family outings. Food is always good and a very nice atmosphere for conversation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday BrunchSaturdaydinerVIPDined on 4/6/2014Mac's brunch menu is varied enough to satisfy most. The fruit and salad bar with the cinnamon rolls and nut bread is a nice extra. Our Eggs Benedict was delicious, served with breakfast potatoes. We are regulars.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Conistently GoodlojomyVIPDined on 4/6/2014We have been going to Mac's off and on for years. We can always count on a very good experience. The service is great and the food is consistently good. You always come away feeling good about being there. The restaurant offers a very attractive environment and a fine menu. Its good value for money and a pleasant place to have a comfortable meal with friends and family. We'll be back for sure!Special Features:
- Steaks TerribleRonTDined on 4/4/2014Steaks tasted like cooked on a flat pan. Not up to standard of a decent steakhouse or even a low end one. Would not recommend to anyone. Was our first time there. Will not be back. May explain why no problem getting reservation on Friday night.Special Features:
- AgainMsGLoveDined on 4/1/2014This is by far not my first time at MAC's. Once again, it was great, and I will return, of course. The food is delicious and the service is always goo-----this trip it was absolutely outstanding. ThanksSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Chicken Fried SteaktfoxDined on 3/22/2014I had been meaning to try Mac's for a while and am now sad that I had not gone sooner. I took my husband their for a birthday dinner. He had the prime rib. I had the Chicken Fried Steak and our friend had the salmon. Food was great all around. Good cocktails as well. I had the Ginger Martini. We had a great experience there. Will be visiting more often and will be telling friends about it as well!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mac'sSaturdaydinerVIPDined on 3/7/2014The Scottish Salmon and Asparagus was delicious. Also loved the Basil Mashed Potatoes.Special Features:
- Menu food & prices high pointsOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 2/16/2014This was our first visit. The menu was pretty standard but with a few more choices than normal, especially in seafood. The food prices were very reasonable. I had prime rib that was just ok, not a great cut of meat, would prefer horseradish, not sauce. Wine choices were slim & a bit pricey for what was offered. Noise level was high but tolerable. Shrimp, crab cakes & gumbo were excellent. Food arrived very quickly & piping hot. Not our choice for a special occasion but a good Friday night place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday BrunchBreakfastFoodiesDined on 2/16/2014Mac's has always been great for weekend brunches. We always prefer the breakfast items and really like the salad bar. At some point, it would be good to see some variety on the salad bar, such as alternate vegetables, toppings and salad dressings. Other than that the food is always impeccable and enjoyable.Special Features:
- Food yes, wait staff so soScottBDined on 2/15/2014The food was excellent. The wait staff was friendly but did not know how to poor a bottle of wine and spilled it; they dripped food on friends jacket trying to put on the table. In my opinion it was a case of either poor training or just not using common sense and taking the time to make sure things didnt spill. Food was excellent and I will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and good service BUT...SomewhatDisappointedDined on 2/14/2014Went there for Valentine's Day as I recalled it being a nice place with good food. The steaks were excellent, the service was good considering that our waitress was covering 8 tables (far too many when all are being used), but the major drawback to the experience was the other clientele. If I am going to spend $50/person for a meal with a drink, I would like the other male patrons to at least be wearing long pants and/or without holes in them. Numerous customers were being seated in t-shirts and shorts or old tattered jeans on a Friday evening. I am sure that their significant other was impressed with how they thought enough of them to dress properly for the evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We go to Macs ColleyvilleOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 2/14/2014We go to Macs Colleyville for Valentines dinner every year for 8 yrs now. The food is excellent, the service is great. We have not tried brunch yet but have been told it is awesome. The only drawback we noticed last week was that when we were set in our booth, the seating was somewhat uncomfortable. You could feel the springs in the seat and felt like you were sinking. It was Valentines Day and packed so we were not complaining. Thank you once again for the wonderful meal and service.Special Features:
- Our waitress Pamela R. wasDaisyDined on 2/14/2014Our waitress Pamela R. was great! She was very professional and always checking with us to make sure all was right.Special Features:

- Always goodMarkDined on 2/8/2014Mac's is consistent. Food is always great and served fresh. I had the almond crusted trout and it was fresh and tasty. Delicious bread is also served prior to the meal.Special Features:
- Our go to place for date nightKandLVIPDined on 1/31/2014The filet and house salad at Mac's is superb, especially for the price. A few nights a week they have a talented musician playing live music. it's our favorite place to spend date night.Special Features:
- disappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 1/18/2014When we arrived the hostess would not acknowledge . Had to ask twice for the cocktail menu. wife had the prime rib and shrimp. decent built not perfect.it was a little on the thin side. Shrimp was over cooked and chewy. I had the "special filet served Oscar style". Cooked med rare came out correctly cooked with proper temp, but on the small side.my baked potato was larger then my steak. Here is the real issue. I am from the northwest.I know how crab meat is supposed to taste.This stuff smelled and tasted awful! When crab is frozen and old its oder is strong of fish. That's exactly how this was presented.they gave a good amount but I could not even eat it, I just scraped it off and ate the steak. for a $40 price I expected much more.

Can You Identify This Mystery Kitchen Gadget?
Good Questions
Q: I was helping my friend unpack his kitchen and he had this strange gadget. He didn't know what it is for. The metal handle thing rotates.
Sent by Julie
Editor: As usual with these mystery gadgets, we're not entirely sure this belongs in the kitchen at all (remember this dog grooming tool?).
Any ideas?

My goodness, that is fascinating! It almost looks like a can opener.
I think it *might* be some sort of pan grabber/pot lifter type thing? Or maybe some sort of canning apparatus?
Maybe some sort of grabber thingie, but it is nearly impossible to see detail against that background. Any chance of a better picture against a plain, contrasting backbround?
I think gudnis might be on the right track. My mother had a pot with a detachable handle, so the pot could be put in the oven. There was a tab sticking out from the rim of the pot to which the handle was attached. There was a locking mechanism to fasten the handle to the pot - I think that's what is pictured.
Looks like it may be an old Pyrex removable handle: http://www.shopgoodwill.org/auctions/Vintage-Pyrex-Detachable-Glass--Metal-Pot-Handle-8761976.html
This was used as a handle for Corning Ware baking dishes in the 60's and 70's. This also made it possible to use the dishes on top of the stove so you could hold onto the dish while stirring or removing it from the burner.
It's either glass or plastic for the "handle" so I'm doubting its a snap on handle. That wouldn't make much sense to make like that when the rest is metal.
This looks almost identical to this thing we had growing up that you used to help open stubborn lids. It pinches down if you hold it right and (in this case- turn the little lever up to a lid on a jar so it pinches under it. Then it makes it relatively easy to twist the handle and open any lid. Problem was, 9 times out of 10 it would slip while turning and pinch the living hell out of your hand. I had many a bandaid related mishaps with that awful thing growing up, but it worked!
It looks exactly like the one in the link from ph0enixinflight, so I'd say it is in fact a pot handle for Pyrex or Corningware dishes. The glass handle would match the glassware pot since that's what Pyrex and Corningware specialized in.
Maybe it's the PTSD from having a Pyrex glass cooking pot explode when I was a kid but I wouldn't dare use any of the vintage glass cookware on the stove these days.
ccpmbd is right. Removeable handle for Corning wear pot
It looks a bit like a 'Manche A Gigotlette', a device used to hold legs or chops of lamb for carving. In this case the proportions and design seem better suited to something like a goose leg. .....just a thought.
Mystery kitchen cr*p is the BEST! I think he should frame it, in a very formal frame, and ask house visitors to guess what the mystery object might be.
You can see it in action here:
Pyrex FlameWare and Glass Handle
Thanks everyone for solving my mystery! The goodwill link does look identical. I guess it is a removable pot holder. I will tell my friend.

Blogger Arlene Cummings of Cooking With Sugar shares a simply delicious recipe for quinoa burgers. Packed with protein and tons of flavor, they are a wonderful alternative to beef burgers.
Cooking the quinoa in chicken broth adds flavor, but you can simply cook it in water, if you prefer. The tiny, bead-shaped grain expands to four times its volume when cooked.
Serve the burgers on a bun instead of greens, if desired.
A small dollop of mayonnaise, garnished with fresh dill weed or other herbs, is a nice accompaniment to the burger.

it's been 4 months since I last posted. idk what's wrong I just feel so bad. It's just so horrible. I want to die again. I just want to not feel.
I am worthless
I am useless there is nothing good in me
I am worth less than the effort it would take to kill me
I'm not worth being raped.
I am nothing. I am less than nothing. I am a stupid pathetic worthless burden.
I am vile shit.
I should die
The world would be a better place without me.
Every little thing would be happier without me
There is no reason for me to be alive
I want to kill myself I hate everything that I am. I make myself sick.
I am the vomit in the streets
I am the absolute scum of shit. I am just so
I hate myself so much I can't find words
There is nothing left. I have nothing left to describe how worthless I am. Nothing but the pain and it reminds me of how nobody will ever want me alive.
I will never be fixed never be anything but pathetic worthless useless scum.

I selected this book off the shelf due to the title and cover. I didn't expect to like it so much! This was a light and insightful book about a fellow with little direction who finds his way. I thought it was great!

"My parents' Ford station wagon hit a concrete divider on U.S. 95 outside Biddeford, Maine, in August 1990." This is how Smithy Ide, overweight and alcoholic, begins his story and his healing journey. Drunk and in dispair, he jumps on his old raleigh bicycle and starts riding. The chapters alternate with his current adventures and his memories of growing up with a sister with severe mental health problems. While riding, he snaps out of his stupor, faces his demons and acknowledges the love that has been there all along. This is a beautifully written tale of survival.

- Perfect for that Special OccasionOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/28/2014They say you get what you pay for and nowhere does that ring true more than Del Posto. From the second you arrive you are treated like the upstairs family on Downton Abbey. A hostess leads you through a gorgeous movie set of a restaurant. For a second you'll feel like you're in a dream. Then on your way several staff will step aside and welcome you to your seat. Ladies if you bring a purse the staff will bring a small pillow-top stool for it to rest upon. Well qualified staff will then take you through the menu at a PhD level of detail. Every wine region, every culinary technique is explained in full. If you have a birthday or anniversary and aim to impress this is the place to do it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazingmommajean4Dined on 9/28/2014What an amazing dining experience! The staff was attentive and very kind. very knowledgable about the meals and gave great advice on choices based on our preferences. The food was heavenly, truly a treat for the palate. I cannot rave enough. The best dining experience of my life. Love it.Special Features:
- The bestGeorgeahad1Dined on 9/27/2014This restaurant is by far the best restaurant in NYC which means in the world !!! I know open table rated per se as the best ,however per se is not even at 50% of del Posto's level ... Go and you'll defintly love it .!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Splendid!StuColoradoVIPDined on 9/27/2014This is truly fine dining. The Captain's tasting menu was excellent and the wine pairings perfect. The service was top notch and the explanations of both food and wine were very informative. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stupendouswgr62Dined on 9/27/2014If it wasn't so hard to get a reservation at times when we want to dine, we'd visit Del Posto more often. Truly exceptional. The most knowledgeable and articulate wait captains/sommeliers in the business.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb food and servicefoodie101Dined on 9/26/2014Excellent service and the food was as wonderful as I remember it when I visited last year.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gluten freeOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 9/26/2014Had a great time with my wife at Del Posto this past weekend. Grabbed a tasty cocktail at the bar while waiting for our table (we arrived earlier than reservation) and were promptly seated at a corner table in the main dining room, which gave a great view of the spacious interior. The food and wine were quite tasty. We opted to order ala carte instead of tasting menu and were pleased that the server did not try to force the tasting menu on us, as some places do. The whole pasta menu (other than the 100 layer lasagna) can be made gluten free to order, which is great for couples/groups where one person is GF and others are not.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FAB - U - LOUS!!!BrianNYCDined on 9/26/2014This destination restaurant brings its A-game. Save up your money to splurge at this outstanding gem, and then walk off your unbelievable dinner on the High Line.Special Features:
- Simply outstandingBestofthebestDined on 9/26/2014This restaurant is a MUST for lunch. The price: performance is unbelievable. When you come out of the rear of the Chelsea market, it is right in front of you. Go there! Don't miss this luncheon special! Donna from GermanySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Del PostoabackmanDined on 9/25/2014It was an amazing dining experience. The service was top notch. The food was gorgeous. The wine list was quite good. If you haven't been...you must go.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another memorable gluten free mealBrooklynceliacVIPDined on 9/25/2014What a great meal, from start to finish we we were treated like royalty and every thing we ordered was delicious. When you go out to eat as a Celiac, the menu is often a tangle of questions, or you get presented a separate menu which has about 1/3 of the choices on it. In fancier restaurants often the dishes are such small portions, that without the sustince provided by the bread basket, you basically go home hungry. Not at del posto! They remake every dish on their menu gluten free. And when you dine in a mixed group, they simply bring the gf people their pasta or bread, and the other get the gluten. It's amazing. I feel like a normal person. So thank you del posto for allowing me to try pasta I have only seen other people eat!Special Features:
- Super MarioxxxxxxxxxxxDined on 9/25/2014Mario Batali's upscale restaurant, Del Posto, is a beautiful establishment located directly across the street from Chelsea Market. Batali's fans should know that his prices are high, the portions are small and there's no lasagna, spaghetti, meatballs or parmesan of any kind on the menu. Prepare to be dazzled by the waitstaff and shocked by the bill, which by the way is printed on a beautiful sheet of paper, suitable for framing. Unless you're independently wealthy, I suggest going for the $49 pre-fixe lunch. Be prepared for add-ons such as $10 for pasta, $10 for lobster and $20 for steak. With the upgrades, a drink, tax and a 20% tip, you're in for about $100 per person. That's a lot for lunch but it's worth it for the experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LOVEJenniferVIPDined on 9/25/2014At $39 for a three-course lunch, Del Posto is the hottest ticket in town. The Jewish holiday afforded me and my mother a special afternoon out. The waiter's recommendations were spot on. The kitchen has an excellent sense of texture, composition, balance, and finesse. Don't miss the lobster, burrata, and pickled broccolini appetizer or the livornese seafood stew main. The kitchen treated us to a complimentary dessert, a gorgeous but simple apple fritter. With the three amuses-bouche, pre-dessert of sour apricot sorbet and toasted cashew gelato, and mignardises, the meal was delight upon delight.Special Features:
- Good but...wandsVIPDined on 9/24/2014This is a beautiful space with impeccable service. Unless you're on an expense account, be prepared for sticker shock. The food is very good but nothing earth shattering - with the exception of the burnt beef which was outstanding. Sit at the bar, have a cocktail and plate of pasta. Skip the pomp.Special Features:
- Perfect for special occassionOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/24/2014This is my second time at Del Posto and as always service is outstanding. They have vast selection of wine but since it's an italian restaurant they carry mainly italian wines but it will be nice to add additional selections from different region. Food is good but desserts are amazing.Special Features:
- My new favorite - worldwide!NYCgirlVIPDined on 9/23/2014Our meal at Del Posto was truly amazing. We ordered the five course tasting menu. The lobster with burrata appetizer was outstanding. The flavors burst in the mouth. It seems an unlikely combination but it is perfect. The salad was very pretty - we took a picture and I noticed others doing the same. The "burnt meat" was mouth watering, but be warned - it's really just a great steak. But truly great. The breads - oh my. Our favorite dessert was the butterscotch panna cotta. Even the cappuccino was the best I've had in a long time. Service was great - friendly and competent, not rushed. The captain described each dish in detail when it was brought - a nice touch. He was lovely. Beautiful space.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Impeccable food and service.IrishpDined on 9/23/2014Del posto was amazing. Impeccable food service wine and cocktails. The only negative is the courses are a little too close together. We had to pack our entree to go, but portions are a nice size. I definitely will come here again. Our server Robin was amazing. The sommelier was also very knowledgable. The staff are so polite. They make you feel so special without being overbearing. I cannot wait to try other menu items. Worth the money.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/22/2014the service was only fair,not attentive. the food was awful. where do they come up with those recipes.
- gordoDined on 9/21/2014Fabulous food - even at the price, good value! Wine was the only exception, to the value question.Special Features:
- Doesn't quite reach its aspirationsFoodVIPDined on 9/21/2014Had the tasting menu. Very, very good antipasto and pasta, very creative, delicious. A fish soup instead of a fish course was a nice change and also very good. Meat main (veal loin with beef deckle attached by meat glue) and dessert (butterscotch and semifreddo) were tasty but neither creative nor impressive. Wine list is truly exceptional but requires a lot of knowledge to mine for the true gems. Very big bill, thanks in part to my wine excess (champers to start, 375ml white, 750ml gattinara, 375ml vin santo). Liked it but won't go back.Special Features:
- Worth the extravaganceOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 9/20/2014This was the most amazing meal I've had. From the service to the cuisine, there was nothing I would change.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good ambiance & service, so-so foodTomFrostDined on 9/19/2014We enjoyed the overall feeling of the place and the service was spotless. But as far as the food goes we found the "captains menu" to be a rather disappointing experience relative to our expectations; great pasta but few other high notes. The wine pairing was excellent throughout though.Special Features:
- Pretentious snobbery reignsLuigi212Dined on 9/19/2014We went to Del Posto with very high expectations. Overall the food was exceptionally good and did not disappoint. The space is grand as befits an elegant restaurant. We arrived for an 8 PM reservation on a Friday night and were leaving around midnight. All in our group of five had the prix-fixe menu with 5 courses. We were attended to by an army of servers who were very polished, but still the time we had to wait between courses was too long. The real issue with this restaurant is the pretentious, overly precious attitude of the place. While individually the staff is competent and the chefs are superb, you can't but feel that they are putting on airs and basically acting out a script without conveying a genuine hospitality to the guests.Special Features:
- Outstanding in every way...OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/18/2014Outstanding and memorable in every way. This was our third visit and we chose to do the tasting menu with the wine parings and on both counts, it could not have been better. The other element particularly noteworthy was the service. The staff from the sommelier and captain on down educated us on everything. A perfect choice for a special occasion!Special Features:
- Attention Surplus DisorderTonyBlueDined on 9/18/2014Del Posto evokes the upscale bistros of Paris or Brussels with its dark wood and warm, inviting lamps. The wine program, dedicated to the best of Italy, is a recent winner of Wine Spectator's "Grand Award". The food, upscale Italian, is delicious and presented well. The problem comes with the service. It is so attentive, it is actually intrusive. At this price point, I don't need the following: visits every five minutes to inquire how I'm doing; fresh napkins spread over the tablecloth to cover one small stain; my original napkin removed from my lap with tongs, replaced with a clean dessert napkin (that is weird). And when I ask for the men's room, I don't need to be accompanied to the door. Pointing it out is fine.Special Features:
- Fantastic!!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/18/2014The restaurant is amazing. It,s soo beautiful. I felt like a queen. The food and service are perfect!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PerfectionAlexAboutTownDined on 9/17/2014Having recently enjoyed Jean Georges and Daniel for the second time, I am flummoxed that those two establishments (excellent as they are) can possibly have more Michelin stars than Del Posto. I understand, food only, and on food merit alone, we experienced as much creative flair and unexpected surprises, and we both agreed, more consistent hits and delights at Del Posto... Plus, perfect service that makes you feel special while maintaining a sense of generosity and welcome, and a room that is so beautiful that you feel like nobility dining there.Special Features:
- WOWOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/15/2014The depth of flavors was unbelievable. A dining experience truly worth the time and money. A night I will not forget!Special Features:
- Great ExperienceBeautifulVIPDined on 9/14/2014Wonderful food and service as always. Our captain was very professional and knowledgeable. All food was better than expected.Special Features:
- Loved It!FirsttimeDined on 9/13/2014Del Posto lives up to their "Fine Dining" status everything about it was magnificent. We had the $126/person, 5 courses dinner + the black truffle sauce that one of our pasta had for $20 more. I totally forgot all the fancy names but we started off with the grilled octopus and lobster, then 2 types of pasta, then our secondi choices of lobster and medium rare salmon including desserts were all delicious and flavorful. Every one who took care of us, about 4 of them, were pleasant, attentive and very friendly but not stuffy. Our reservation was at 11 p.m. and we were not rushed to finish each course. We were there 'till about 2 a.m. It's became one of my favorite restaurants all over again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Near perfect, AGAINWeedyVIPDined on 9/13/2014This place continues to get it brilliantly right on all counts. The food is unbelievably good, with an increased level of 'adventurousness' as time goes by as well (e.g. the addition of a lobster and burrata starter might be a nod to Marea and Michael White, but just the same it's brilliantly executed here). The service remains not only seamlessly professional and thorough, but friendly, warm, and welcoming to a fault. The atmosphere is grand, but in no way intimidating; it feels both cozy and intimate and still elegant with a sense of 'special occasion'. A perfect wine list completes the picture. It's almost impossible to say enough good about the experience here. They well deserve their NY Times 4 stars.Special Features:
- OutstandingFletcherBDined on 9/13/2014Fantastic evening all around! Great food, great wine, great service. One of Mario's best ventures yet!Special Features:

- simply wonderfulfranDined on 9/12/2014Dennis our server Wonderful thats just to start. Traffic in NYC caused us to be 30 minutes late, they were understanding so plus 1 just for that. Dinner was unbelievable down to every detail perfect. Our young adult daughters were amazed by the service and every well thought out plate. The staff couldn't have been kinder and so very helpful to our girls who had questions. It was not a special occasion but they made us feel like it was.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bravo!t182288VIPDined on 9/10/2014Del Posto was a perfect meal. Allow me to share my experience- We came for my boyfriends birthday. Upon being seated we were explained the menu graciously as well as the wine list. It is extensive. Our waitress was not pushy and very understanding when we had questions. The food was impeccable. The salad with truffle dressing was simple and amazing. The carpaccio was delectable and perfect with the assortment of bread. oh! eat the bread! Our pastas were soft and perfectly portioned. I had lobster with fairytale eggplant as a meal, and it was such a nice balance of flavors. The best part- i wanted a cocktail to come out specifically at midnight, my boyfriends birthday, and it was perfect timing. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- As perfect as we remembered!Gerrie97VIPDined on 9/9/2014We went to Del Posto when it was newly opened and said it was one of our top 10 meals ever. When we came back to New York with enough time to get a reservation, we are always torn about returning to a favorite or trying one of the many new places in the city. We are so happy that we returned because we had another out of this world experience at Del Posto. Every dish was terrific, and what we enjoyed most about the service was it was elegant, but extremely warm and friendly. The carne crudo was maybe my favorite thing, but it is hard to choose. We'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- delicious and delectable del postonomesterDined on 9/9/2014I found del posto on the internet and a friend from nyc also recommended it. We went there as a treat on our last night in nyc.
