- DisappointingNinjaFoodieDined on 9/27/2014So looking forward because of the rave reviews on Open Table & yelp. Went for b-day celebration for my wife. Her salmon was quite charred; sent my rib eye back as their concept of med-rare is softened jerky. We can only say "Beem there; won't be back."Special Features:

- MrBill535VIPDined on 9/21/2014If you go, don't miss the french fries, some of the best in the valley.Special Features:
- Go back to the sole in coconutFoodieVIPDined on 9/19/2014The chef changed the sole in coconut (which is the best ever) to a dried out piece of sole with no distinction. It was almost inedible dry. Why change a great menu item that's SO unique and "melt in your mouth"???? The chicken was good, the lamb so tender, as was the rib eye, the tomatoes in ricotta incredible, corn soup with an incredible real corn taste in a non-cream prep, regular salads nice -- but not as distinct as the tomatoes. Our waiter was awesome, and service in general 5 star.Special Features:
- Incredible food!DianeVIPDined on 9/15/2014Went for lunch and it was a fantastic experience. Beautiful, airy, sunlight filled space, delicious food and excellent service. Highly recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SpectacularOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/14/2014Hard to fairly review due to my great prejudice which is based on my very real belief that our dinner at Solbar my have been the finest meal I've ever eaten. We are going back tonight so I'll update accordingly.Special Features:

- Amazing Food in CalistogaRandmanDined on 9/13/2014This restaurant is part of a very high end resort and spa, but we didn't feel like an outsider. Everyone greeted us, warmly and professionally from ballet to restaurant manager. Amazing food, was just so good, service was excellent, really made us feel like come back and see us soon. Would be back in a heartbeat. Make sure you like food, if you are a meat and potatoes kind of person, this is not the place for you. Liked that it was up the valley and away from the normal crush in Yountville and St. Helena. The inside is going to do a full renovation shortly, so after that I would say the ambiance will be up several notches. If you like patio dinning they have that too and its very nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Breakfast at SolbarFoodieEricDined on 9/13/2014My wife and I and another couple went to Solbar for breakfast. In short, it was one of the best breakfasts we've ever had! We started with their donut holes and they were light, warm and delicious -- a great way to start. You know the food is good when your whole table is silent -- everyone stopped talking and just wanted to savor their meal! I had the Duck Confit Hash and it was excellent. I was concerned that the portion was small but I was very full at the end -- the perfect amount of food. My wife went with the Uptown Breakfast Sandwich (she loved it) and I would have loved a taste of the Sol-Pe my friend got but he ate it all before I could have a bite. Their coffee was delicious and the service was excellent.Special Features:
- SolbarFoodaliciousVIPDined on 9/12/2014Luv Solbar! We had a fabulous lunch. My husband had the Tuna Burger, and I had the BLT. They can take something so simple and make it amazing! Go. . .you will enjoy it.Special Features:

- Service not as usualGInnyVIPDined on 9/9/2014While the food and setting remain spectacular, our service was not up to par. Staff stood together chatting in Spanish. The drink order came after the food. We felt rushed as the food appeared immediatly. Two plates were cleared while the other people were still eating. We had to ask for coffee as it was not offered.Special Features:
- Excellent experience in Napa ValleycarlosVIPDined on 9/9/2014We decided to try this restaurant in Calistoga based on online reviews. We were impressed with the flavors and presentation of the dishes that we had for lunch. We were sitting outside and we had a great time.Special Features:
- Fabulous lunchJessicaDined on 9/6/2014We had a wonderful experience last Saturday for my sisters birthday. Everything on the menu looks so good it was hard to pick. Fish tacos were amazing as other people have recommended. Burger was delicious too. Everyone was really nice and hospitable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!Special Features:
- OKmuddyVIPDined on 8/31/2014Tried to get a drink at the bar before dinner with no other patrons around and it was like they had more important things to do. Waited 5 minutes and never served when Bartender was 5 feet from me. They really think they are the tops and are no longer at the top of there game. Appetizer was good however meal was just OK. I would recommend D'Amici's, Market, Archeopole or Mustards before this location these days. They at least seem to appreciate your business more with little attitude. Table Server was polite but I do not need half the wait staff to present my meal. I can get arrogance at work and do not need it on vacation.Special Features:

We stayed at the hotel Solage, so breakfast and lunch were also a treat. could not fault anything. Room is being done up shortly so will make ambiance perfect I have no doubt.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- When in CalistogaRosieAVIPDined on 8/25/2014This is a great addition to the Calistoga dining scene. The dining room is beautiful in an understated way and the staff s expertly trained. Our meal was filled with seasonal ingredients - squash blossoms perfectly cooked, sweet tomatoes, fragrant herbs. The halibut was absolutely outstanding. Our waiter paired our courses with some very original wines that were surprisingly well priced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/24/2014My 3 companions loved the soup, squash blossoms and lamb. I was disappointed in the duck with the chicken preparation to avoid wheat/gluten. Perhaps a few more gluten free dishes on the menu would be good in this part of the world where many are avoiding gluten. My allergy is 40 years old so I am used to making choices and making do with what is on the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dining outdoorsRoseyDined on 8/23/2014My experience dining here was fabulous. We ate outdoors and it was a beautiful day. The food was wonderful, and they had an extensive wine list. Solbar is top drawer!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Would love to stay at the resort next time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Local CalistoganEClementsDined on 8/21/2014SolBar/Solage is one of my favorite places. The food is wonderful ... from fruited greens to sliders to fish tacos .... everyone had a great selection -- no one went hungry or unsatisfied. The outside ambience is fabulous .... water gently spilling over small infinity pools, abundant trees, great service with a lot of attention (but not too much) ..... highly recommend for locals and out-of-towners.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Beautiful, delicious food.Pe17VIPDined on 8/19/2014My wife is a vegetarian, and I'm not. Solbar has a great balance of lighter and richer dishes, and a lot of vegetarian dishes. My wife started with the chopped salad, which was almost too pretty to eat. Almost. I decided to start off with a pork belly appetizer, which was the best pork belly dish I've had, and smartly plated. For main courses, we both went with vegetarian dishes and both were great. I skip vegetarian dishes when dining out, but I was glad I didn't. For dessert, one was just good and the other was great, and we shared each. Our server was quite friendly and helpful throughout, and helped with suggestions. All in all our only regret is that since we're on vacation, we can't put Solbar into our regular dining rotation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top notch!JSJSDined on 8/17/2014Took my wife to Solbar for our wedding anniversary dinner and it was a great experience. Everything - food, service, ambience - was better than expected, and we went with very high expectations after learning that it's a Michelin 1 star restaurant. I would go as far as to rate Solbar higher than some Michelin 3 star restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Solbar shinesTL27Dined on 8/15/2014Solbar is the choice for dining in Calistoga. Many chefs strive to create a layering of interesting, even provocative flavors. Solbar pulls it off consistently. Not only are the choices original, but the layering of flavors is achieved with a conceptual harmony in each dish. The result is a series of menu options that engage the palette on multiple levels without resorting to a dissonance of flavors. For lunch, the petrale sole tacos are exceptional, as is the duck sandwich. For dinner, be sure to order the peaches and the pork belly appetizers. Any entrée will please you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.
Whether you've verbalized it yet or not.we all know something's wrong.
Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts-it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same.
Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.
"Sometimes I feel like when I make decisions that are remotely biblical, people who call themselves Christians are the first to criticize and say I'm crazy, that I'm taking the Bible too literally, or that I'm not thinking about my family's well-being. . . When people gladly sacrifice their time or comfort or home, it is obvious that they trust in the promises of God. Why is it that the story of someone who has actually done what Jesus commands resonates deeply with us, but we then assume we could never do anything so radical or intense? Or why do we call it radical when, to Jesus, it is simply the way it is? The way it should be?" ~Excerpt from Crazy Love
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Francis Chan is pastor of Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, California. He is also the founder of Eternity Bible College and sits on the board of directors of Children's Hunger Fund and World Impact. Francis spends much of his time speaking to students around the country, committed to teaching directly from the Bible. His passion is to see the church display a much deeper love for Jesus. Francis lives in California with his wife, Lisa, and their four children.

Bruno Barreiro has been in this position before, targeted for ouster from his Miami-Dade commission seat. Two years ago, a group of activists fell just short of collecting enough petition signatures to try to recall him.
This time around, Barreiro is one of four incumbent commissioners facing reelection and hes in the sights of Norman Braman. The Miami auto magnate helped persuade state Rep. Luis Garcia to challenge Barreiro for District 5, which spans across neighborhoods along the Miami River, the Roads, Little Havana and the southern and eastern portions of Miami Beach.
Barreiro, in county office for 14 years, is counting on his widespread name recognition and his familys deep Little Havana roots they have long managed clinics and now own a home care agency on Southwest Eighth Street to translate into victory in the Aug. 14 election.
We havent made a buck and left town, moved to the suburbs, Barreiro said of his family. And when activists launched their recall petition drive, he added, You know who fought them? The seniors out there.
In the Florida House, Garcia, a Democrat, represented many of the same neighborhoods as Barreiro. But he originally filed to run for U.S. Congress in southwest Miami-Dade against Rep. David Rivera.
Garcias plans changed after he had a public falling out with Democratic Party officials. That prompted Braman, who had previously approached Garcia to run for the commission, to step up his recruitment. And Garcia agreed to shift races.
Im running to do all the things they havent been able to do in 14 years, he recently told The Miami Heralds editorial board of Barreiro and other longtime commissioners. And his dispute with his own party, he said, shows nobody controls me.
Two other candidates are also seeking the seat: neuropsychologist Calixto Garcia (no relation), and retiree Carlos E. Muñoz Fontanills, who worked as a veterinarian in Cuba and in human resources for county government in New Jersey. They have raised few campaign dollars, but Calixto Garcia, 56, says that is not an indication of his election chances.
The area, its deteriorating, he said. The two people that were responsible for this were Bruno and Luis, Luis at the state level and Bruno at the county level.... Everybody complains and no one takes a step forward. I thought Id do something.
Muñoz Fontanills, a 76-year-old who speaks little English and ran for U.S. Congress in New Jersey in 1996, says he opposes property-tax rate increases at all costs even if it means laying off police officers and if elected plans to legislate in Spanish
If someone doesnt understand me, they can find an interpreter, he said in Spanish.
If none of the candidates wins a majority of the vote in the primary, the nonpartisan race would go to a runoff in the Nov. 6 general election.
The incumbent Barreiro has raised more in campaign contributions than any of his rivals, including more than twice as much as Luis Garcia, his main challenger. Barreiro also has the support of an electioneering communications organization, Transparency in Government.
Barreiro, 46, who was born in Clearwater to Cuban parents and raised in Miami, said he grew up around politics. His father campaigned for candidates; young Bruno said he volunteered for U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinens first state legislative race. His older half-brother, Gus Barreiro, was a state representative and will also be on the upcoming primary ballot in a bid to return to the Florida House.
Yet the younger Barreiro, who is married and has two children, said he never saw himself as a candidate for office until 1992, when he noticed Tallahassee legislators involved in a healthcare debate were largely lawyers without firsthand experience in the industry. Barreiro, who attended the University of Miami for two years before leaving to work in his fathers HMO, ran for the state House as a Republican and won. He remained in the Legislature for six years before jumping to the county commission.
Of his years on the county board, Barreiro says hes proudest of promoting constituent services and pushing for the half-penny sales tax to fund transportation projects. He also touts, among other things, legislation giving property owners a tax break for building a home addition to house elderly relatives and creating the Golden Passport, which allows seniors to ride Miami-Dade transit for free.
Garcia, a 66-year-old widower, is seeking a commission spot also after six years in Tallahassee. But his political origins lie in Miami Beach, where he was a firefighter, fire chief and city commissioner.
He grew up dreaming of being an architect and serving in the U.S. Air Force. But Garcia, who arrived in Miami from Cuba when he was 14, was not yet a citizen when he graduated from high school. And he eloped at 20 and had three sons by 24 circumstances that kept him from the military and from being a full-time student. Instead, he worked in a grocery store and drove a Pepsi truck while taking night classes at Miami Dade College before he eventually joined the Miami Beach Fire Department.
The highlights of his city commission tenure, Garcia said, include raising fire-safety standards at Miami Beach Senior High School, broadening rights for domestic partners and banning discrimination against transgender people. In Tallahassee, Garcia was known for his feisty ways as part of the Democratic minority in the GOP-controlled Legislature.
Barreiro and Garcia, who are not particularly friendly with each other, disagree on a variety of issues. Barreiro generally supports gambling; Garcia generally does not. Garcia favors two four-year term limits for commissioners; Barreiro does not.
And while Barreiro was the commission chairman who fought for the Miami Marlins new Little Havana ballpark in his district, Garcia criticizes the stadium financing deal for relying mostly on public dollars.
Sitting in his campaign headquarters across the street from Fatima Home Care, the family business where his district office is located, Barreiro defended the financing deal, citing other projects such as the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and AmericanAirlines Arena that also received public funding.
I dont see a backlash for the stadium, with all due respect, from the people, from the district, he said. There had to be substantial public funding for a stadium.
When the issue came up at The Heralds editorial board, Garcia scoffed and criticized the Marlins for not being more open with the county and the public: They never opened the books.
Barreiro also stands by his vote two years ago to raise the county property-tax rate the vote that triggered the recall effort against him and other county officials, including former Mayor Carlos Alvarez.
The vote came after a majority of commissioners voted for union contracts that included pay hikes for police officers. Barreiro was one of two commissioners opposing the contracts. But after they had been approved, he said, he couldnt in good conscience oppose the subsequent tax-rate increase because having to pay for the contracts without more taxes would have resulted in service cuts.
I would take that vote [again] today, a choked-up Barreiro told the editorial board.
Last month, Barreiro voted against Mayor Carlos Gimenezs proposed tax-rate reduction not because he wants a higher rate, Barreiro said, but because he would have liked proposed cost savings to come from different places in the budget the fire department rather than libraries, for example.
Garcia, who says he would be more qualified to vote on the county budget from his years as fire chief preparing his departments budget, said Gimenezs overall proposal goes in the right direction.
I dont agree with everything he does, but I respect him, Garcia said of Gimenez. I think I could work with him.

On last week's results episode of Dancing with the Stars:All Stars, former 'N SYNC star Joey Fatone was voted off the show, but said he wasn't too upset because he was going to a wedding. Some fans, attempting to put two and two together, assumed that he was talking about his old band mate Justin Timberlake 's wedding to Jessica Biel . But it turns out that Joey doesn't know any of the details about JT's nuptials because it's so hush-hush.
Asked if he's going to attend the wedding, Joey tells ABC News Radio, "I haven't even gotten any call yet because of the fact that he tells people the last minute. I got a call to go to his engagement party, which I couldn't go [to], 'cause I was working...I heard that the rest of the guys went. But I haven't even found out where the wedding is yet."
Joey further explains that when he referenced the wedding on Dancing with the Stars , he was talking about his buddy Tom's wedding.
So far, two former 'N SYNC-ers have competed on the hit ABC reality show; in addition to Joey, Lance Bass was on the show. Both of them did pretty well: his first time around, Joey came in second, while Lance came in third. So, what about the rest of the 'N SYNC members? Should JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick do Dancing with the Stars too, so we can see how well they can do in the ballroom?
"No. Two is enough," laughs Joey. "Me and Lance did it. I don't think anybody else [from the group] should do it." However, he does encourage other celebrities to participate, saying, "It's a fun show...a lot of people, I think why they did it because everyone has such a great experience."
Drew Lachey of the recently-reunited 98 Degrees is also on Dancing with the Stars: All Stars this season, but when asked if the fact that Drew's group recently got back together made Joey want to do the same with 'N SYNC, he said no. Oh well.

SALSIBURY, Md. - The weather may have been gloomy lately, causing damage to the local pumpkin crop. But now, some say it's welcomed and not everyone is complaining. "We have broccoli, collard greens, kale and all that other kind of stuff," said Brent Malone, owner of How Sweet It Is Produce and Garden Center. "They really needed some rain so it was kind of bitter sweet."Pumpkins are only a portion of the fall crops. The other seasonal staples will soon make appearances at many holiday dinners and can use the extra drizzle.But one other crop that could be slowed by the weather is corn. Farmers are waiting for the fields to dry out so they can harvest the grain that's set to be used for chicken feed.
47 ABC - A personal care company, is expanding the recall of breast pump adaptors that it announced earlier this year.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/17/2014My wife and I were celebrating our 47th wed.ding anniversary and we had a wonderful timeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday early dinnerjltastefoodDined on 9/15/2014The restaurant was very accommodating when with my request about a dessert that was diabetic friendly. Even though it was my birthday I wanted my Mom to be able to enjoy a nice dessert. Other than a few issues the our time in the restaurant was very enjoyable. a. A large party was at its last few members chatting, and their two kids where running around making a lot of noise. b. the crab cakes in my Eggs Benny I found a bit too crunchy and fell apart too easily and not enough sauce on the eggs, it's part of the dish and was skimped on. The service and food otherwise was definitely worth sharing with others.Special Features:
- My meal & the serviceEmmylouiseDined on 9/13/2014The meal I ordered was the Northern Seafood Pasta & it was great, however it was a bit spicy which I didn't totally love. I would have expected more seafood in it but there was such small chunks of salmon, one scallop & a few clams here & there. The service wasn't outstanding as I thought my waitress would have been more friendly. Our hostess was friendly & there was a man who brought my boyfriend & myself our food, he was very thoughtful & friendly. Other than that, my dinning experience was great & I loved the scenery & restaurant itself.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good SeafoodCat12Dined on 9/13/2014Good Seafood - We ordered Scallops in pepper sauce with the Wasabi mashed potatoes and the Ahi Tuna, both meals were good. Enjoyed the Horseshoe Bay and mountain views. Service was good. Added Bonus was free parking.Special Features:
- Manager Jake was great!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/12/2014Jake Arabiana, the store manager, delivered excellent customer service. He was humble and proactively sought my feedback and comments on the food and service. Will definitely visit restaurant again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Should have known betterwesterngardenerDined on 9/11/2014There's so much wrong with this 'restaurant' I don't know where to begin. 1. Given the lunch menu instead of the dinner one. Lunch menu had 2 choices in their steak options/dinner menu has 9. 2. Our first server who thought she was doing us a favor by serving us. Later, she was replaced with someone else who knew about customer service and was a tremendous improvement. 3. Appetizers: Coconut Shrimp (the best thing we ate all evening) and the Boathouse Signature Calamari which was fried to a crisp. 4. Dinner: Miso crusted wild halibut: dry and tasteless. Wild maple salmon: raw--sushi style. 5: Dessert: New York Cheesecake with seasonal berries. The seasonal berries were more like jam and a pasty mess. Will I return . . . never, ever.
- formerguestDined on 9/8/2014Disappointed ! been there for yers both private nd corporate ....slipping year over year... there is competition nd standards out there ...???ever heard of Cactus Club etc...?Special Features:
- Gorgeous LocationSaloVIPDined on 9/7/2014Good food and service, beautiful location! If you dream about dinner or brunch surrounded by typical gorgeous British Columbia scenary, there is no better choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- sugrDined on 9/7/2014Had a fabulous anniversary lunch with friends yesterday, food delicious and the view as always, outstanding. Wondered why we don't visit more often. Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quality has droppedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/6/2014A beautiful place to dine with a spectacular setting overlooking water. Unfortunately the quality of the food was poor which was a surprise as we have enjoyed many lovely meals here before.Special Features:
- Fading......JoyceVIPDined on 9/2/2014We went back because it was a nice evening and we watched a seal on the dock.....the food is still simply mediocre. The service ( Patrick ) was excellent . The seafood linguine not hot enough and slushy .....cant someone barbecue those prawns so that they are not rubbery ? No lobster ravioli, no bread pudding .......those were dishes that you did well ! You need a kitchen make-over but at least you have the view of the dock.....Special Features:
- Delightfully DelectableCodeDined on 8/30/2014I chose this restaurant for my Wife's birthday this year because of its beautiful location. Being annual regulars to the Boat House in other locations across the lower mainland I knew the food was going to be up to snuff, but it is the location that really makes this restaurant shine. If you want good food with a fantastic setting look no further.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- the right place, in the right placewayneDined on 8/30/2014Located at the confluence of Island, Sunshine Coast ferries and a major Vancouver freeway, this restaurant is the go-to location for family and friends to reconnect over consistently good food. The scenery is unbeatable, with marina and ferry activity in the fore ground and the snow capped peaks of the Squamish/Whistler mountains as a backdrop. Staff and management have been consistently attentive and responsive to special requests and inquiries. Excellent value overall.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enoyable dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/29/2014Great experience and great food! There is something on the menu for everyone.Special Features:
- Great food, service and view!MomgooseDined on 8/29/2014A perfect place to celebrate a birthday and to bring our out of town guest. Thank you for the great food ad service. The view is amazing too!Special Features:
- Never disappointsLarryandLizDined on 8/28/2014The Boathouse at Horseshoe Bay has a great view, good food and friendly knowledgeable staff. A relaxing break close to home.Special Features:
- ScenicmunchyDined on 8/28/2014A very scenic view. Service was a little on the slow side, food was good though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SeafoodLoverVIPDined on 8/27/2014Halibut and Chips were good except for the Chips. You shouldnt take the words "chips" literally by using the dried out ends of potatoes. As usual, the view was glorious and service fine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/26/2014This is an outstanding Boathouse in Horseshoe Bay. Terrific setting, great service and quality food. Highly recommended.Special Features:
- Not a morsel left...pickyeatersDined on 8/25/2014We arrived near the end of Appy hour and tried 3 of the dishes - all delicious - especially the halibut with miso. Our meals, cocoanut cod and the curry bowls were just as good and generous portions as well. We share 2 desserts between 4 to finish off. Our corner of the deck was lovely, overlooking the arbutus grove on the little islet and watching the herons put on a show. A great place to have a casual meal or celebrate a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Paying for the AmbienceWansharpDined on 8/24/2014We normally go to Boathouse in New Westminster, so we are familiar with their menu. However, we found, although our server was polite & courteous, the eye for detail lacked including the menu. Our coffees arrived, mine was obviously spilled, but instead of using a new cup or wiping if off the sides, still given as is. Food was not hot, poached eggs were overdone. Although I'm not one to complain to the server, I have had better experiences elsewhere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Needs Improvement ....JoyceVIPDined on 8/22/2014This restaurant cannot continue to rely on the scenic view.....the food here has steadily gotten worse over the past six months .I feel very sorry for the servers ( doesn't that say it all ! ) when the food is so mediocre. Some dishes are still good ( the steaks are usually reliable ) but we've had a series of rubbery prawns and the seafood linguine is really not good. The desserts are few, unimaginative ( cranberry apple crisp microwaved into a puddle ) and Im not sure what has gone wrong ?Special Features:
- Grea experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/17/2014My wife and I have been to the Boathouse numerous times. Admittedly, we have had a few misses, but overall it is a great place, especially for that special eveing. In this case, it was our 19th anniversary, so the staff was kind enough to get a window table ready. Half the attraction of the Boathouse at Horshoe Bay is the view. Our waiter Mike was absolutely perfect. Not too much in our face, but seemingly always there when needed. He was willing (not all waiters are) to tell my wife 'not my favorite' when she asked, and what he recommended was perfect for her. Our meals came too early after appies, quickly returned, but other than that, everything went very well. Mike even brought us a small piece of cake with a sparkler.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Requests in reservation not doneOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/17/2014I had requested a window table and stated that it was my mothers 80th birthday when I made the reservation through opentable. Didn't get a window seat and no acknowledgement of her bday. Food was good but quite frankly overpriced. Just disappointed.Special Features:
- Sunday BrunchMamabearDined on 8/17/2014Love the location and meet friends there often. Good food and great view. Love the Seafood Chowder and the Spicy Shrimp appies.Special Features:
- Good locationDoubleBookingDined on 8/17/2014We enjoyed the lunch with the food, staff and view. Parking is a problem as it is in short supply You should be aware that our reservation proved to be double booked. Although it was suggested that one party had already booked (on the internet) they could not find it when the second person asked to check on it. There was space for us but could be a problem in busier times.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/13/2014Usually come to the Boathouse for special occasions and when we have guests. Love it.Special Features:
- Anniversary dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/4/2014Our server was excellent, attentive and we really liked her...she remembered us from 6 months ago. My miso scallops were divine and my husband enjoyed his king crab.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food not up to expectationsLonggone2Dined on 8/3/2014Had eaten there once before and found this time the food was presented cold, and obviously prepared in advance. We ordered similar dishes to those on our first visit and they were nowhere near as flavourful or tasty. Will not be returning in the near future.Special Features:
- DisappointingSkyeDined on 8/2/2014We have gone to the boathouse for decades for special family dinners, but this time around we left with a bad taste in our mouth. Slow and poor service, and not up to the usual standards. Food was over cooked, but cold. And is it me or are the portions tinier each time, and the prices getting higher. I think it's time for a new family favorite.Special Features:
- Beautiful dinner by the seajeffandlaraDined on 8/2/2014Enjoyed an early dinner on a Saturday evening sitting at a table by the window looking out onto picturesque Horseshoe Bay. Looking forward to going back soon. Food was delicious and drinks were very enjoyable. Parked right in front of restaurant in a free 2 hour spot that was perfect timing for our dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lunch with a view2morrowDined on 7/31/2014We just had a very enjoyable lunch at the Boathouse in Horseshoe Bay. The scenery was amazing and the service was excellent. We had the seafood salad which was good but had too much dressing on it so kind of soggy greens but others enjoyed their meal.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/27/2014Very good service, good food......great Birthday dinner !Special Features:
- Yummy but Ouch!Jazz20Dined on 7/25/2014Great food. Sit inside for evening dinner to avoid mosquito bites!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful location and great foodDorisDined on 7/25/2014We were seated by the window with a view of the surrounding bay - just gorgeous! The staff were very friendly and attentive - they went out of their way to make you feel special. The food was great too.Special Features:
- ConsistencyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/21/2014I take visiters there often because it meets everyones taste but with a variety of items to choose from and most importantly is there food is consistently great. So I know when I go there it will be a successful evening.Special Features:
- Best choice!OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 7/20/2014Great place for a family event - four generations all together to celebrate a special birthday - great food, excellent service, and a view that can't be beat!Special Features:

Can Redbox succeed at streaming?
Betting that there's still of plenty of life in discs, Redbox Instant will offer DVD rentals along with online access to movies.
Brad Stone, Bloomberg Businessweek
Consumers have plenty of ways to watch movies over the Internet.
There's Netflix (NFLX), Amazon.com's (AMZN) Instant Video, Wal-Mart Stores' (WMT) Vudu and Apple's (AAPL) iTunes. Now the market for buying and renting films online is about to get more crowded.
A new service, Redbox Instant by Verizon (VZ), plans to throw open its virtual doors to customers willing to pay $8 a month. Subscribers will gain online access to a catalog of older films at no extra fee, an on-demand store of newer movies available for rent or purchase and DVD rental credits good for four recent releases each month from Redbox's kiosks at supermarkets and drugstores around the country.
"This is about choice," say Shawn Strickland, the chief executive of Redbox Instant. "We have all the movies of the other services, but the four DVD credits bring fresher content into the offering. If consumers want new movies, they can go to the grocery and pick them up."
Tepid reception in blogosphere
Joint ventures between media companies tend to be received poorly initially-- recall the skepticism about Hulu, the Web video hub developed by NBC and Fox.
Redbox Instant is no exception. It's the product of a union between Verizon, which offers its FiOSTV service to about 4.6 million customers, and Redbox, a division of Coinstar (CSTR) that has installed 42,000 DVD kiosks over the last 10 years.
When Redbox Instant laid out its pricing details and timetable at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Jan. 9, tech bloggers compared the service unfavorably with rivals, pointing out that Redbox Instant will not include any TV shows at first and suggesting that users will be confused by the combination of movie streaming and kiosk rentals.
Richard Greenfield, an analyst at BTIG Research, says it's strange that Redbox Instant is pegging its hopes to physical discs, a medium that's in irreversible decline as the pace of on-demand movie viewing keeps accelerating.
"The question is, why is putting these two things together ultimately better for the consumer?" Greenfield says. "It's not obvious to us that the impulse in the home and the impulse at the kiosks are two actions that naturally fit together."
DVDs in demand
Verizon and Coinstar figure that there's still life in physical discs. Strickland notes that 37% of consumers purchased a DVD or Blu-ray disc over the holiday season and that 200 million DVD players have been sold over the last 10 years.
"Consumers still like just how easy it is to watch a DVD," he says.
Hollywood studios like to roll out their films gradually, wringing revenue from each stage of the home video market, in a system known as "release windows." Redbox Instant believes it's best structured to exploit that system to provide immediate gratification.
A movie like "Lincoln," for example, typically will first be available on disc in Redbox kiosks, then a few weeks later will move to Redbox Instant's video-on-demand store, where subscribers can buy or rent it on a computer, mobile device or set-top box. Eventually members will be able to stream it for free.
"We think we have an opportunity to partner with studios to extend the life of their windowing structure," Strickland says.
So far, studios seem to like the approach. Warner Bros. (TWX), Sony Pictures (SNE), Lionsgate (LGF), NBC Universal (CMCSA) and Paramount Pictures will sell and rent films through the service; Redbox Instant also has licensed content from Epix, a joint venture between the major movie studios, for its streaming catalog.
Still in the second inning
Strickland, a veteran Verizon executive who helped roll out FiOS in parts of New York state, says the partnership between Verizon and Coinstar was struck more than a year ago and was "opportunistic rather than defensive." Verizon already licenses movies for FiOS and wanted to exploit those licenses for a national audience.
Coinstar, which has a 34% share of the DVD rental market, needed a partner to help it take its first steps into streaming.
While Redbox Instant pushes toward a public launch sometime in the next three months, many of its competitors are working to acquire programming and create their own shows that can't be found elsewhere. Netflix is producing a new season of the cult television show "Arrested Development" and plans to make all 14 episodes available in June. And Amazon is planning to produce six original comedy series.
Strickland believes Redbox Instant can play in this field as well, though it will be up to Verizon to make the investment.
"I think we're at the top of the second inning," he says. "We think you're going to see an industry that plays out not too differently from the way cable played out, with room for many winners."

Dear Readers,
Last week I was in Cleveland visiting my daughter. We were driving through a cute little neighborhood and my mind was wandering. I was thinking about how I take things for granted like a dishwasher and air-conditioning because my daughter has neither at the moment. All of a sudden, I looked to my right and there was a park and people were walking on this really nice little path around the park. A little lady was tooling by in her electric wheelchair and I thought, "Wow, Cleveland really does ROCK". The path around their park is accessible for people with disabilities. How many of us can say that? The lady in the wheelchair was able to get out and enjoy the beautiful day without having to have someone go with her and help her roll over cracks in the sidewalk or push her over rocks.
My own neighborhood sidewalk is filled with crevices that would tip over a wheelchair in a heartbeat. Very few of our neighborhood parks are wheelchair accessible. When I taught students who were in wheelchairs, I had to think very hard about what playgrounds I could take them to because getting them somewhere was not easy. Every time I enter a building and encounter steps, I look around and try to figure out how a person in a wheelchair would access the building. If I can't figure it out, I ask someone. Sometimes, I only get a shrug and an "I don't know." That is not an acceptable answer.
I had a friend when I was working on my doctorate at the University of Kansas who was in a wheelchair. She said it took her quite awhile to figure out how to maneuver through KU in her wheelchair. KU is known for it's hills and steps. It's quite a complicated system of entering one building and taking an elevator to another floor and going out a door and entering another building and going out another door to eventually getting up to the street level that would be the level you happen to have a class on if you are in a wheelchair. Why doesn't the university have this already mapped out for people? That would "ROCK".
I think we all need to start walking or rolling in the footsteps or wheel spokes of others and thinking- what does this look like from their perspective? Our oldest son has Multiple Sclerosis. He is now using a walker and will soon be in a wheelchair full time. We have to plot out where we will take him and how we will take him there because not everywhere we want to go is accessible. He backed out of going to the movies yesterday because he decided it was too much of a hassle. Although, AMC theaters are very disability friendly. They even have an elevator, so he can sit at the back of the theater at the top if he chooses. My hat has always been off to AMC because they show movies specifically geared for children with autism and that is ACES in my book. They also show closed caption for hearing impaired. So AMC theater- you ROCK.
My hat is off to Cleveland. I attended the Cleveland Marathon last weekend because my daughter was running there. They opened the Cleveland Brown's Stadium so people had a comfortable place to use facilities. Think about it. Someone in a wheelchair could not use a port-a-potty. The city of Cleveland opened the entire stadium and had all the restrooms in full working order so everyone could use the restroom. They let people sit in the stadium. Everyone was friendly. Everything was clean. Cleveland- Drew Carey is right- you do "ROCK".
Does your city Rock? If it does- then thank them. If it doesn't start writing and asking "Why not?"

Stolen Preyby John Sandford
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The brilliant Lucas Davenport thriller from the number one New York Times bestselling author.
Lucas Davenport has seen many terrible murder scenes. This is one of the worst. In the Minnesota town of Wayzata, an entire family has been killed—husband, wife, two kids, dogs. On the wall, in blood: Were coming." No apostrophe.
Theres something about the scene that tugs at Lucass cop instincts—it looks an awful lot like the kind of scorched-earth retribution hes seen from Mexican drug gangs. But this is a seriously upscale town, the husband ran a modest software company, the wife dabbled in local politics. None of it seems to fit.
Until it does
"A horrific crime — the torture murders of Patrick Brooks, his wife, son, daughter, and three dogs at their palatial lakeside home in Wayzata, Minn. — propels bestseller Sandford's solid 22nd novel featuring Lucas Davenport of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (after 2011's Buried Prey). That DEA officials believe the killings to be the work of Los Criminales del Norte brings Mexican detective David Rivera and assistant Ana MartÃnez to the Twin Cities area, though Brooks's Spanish-language company, Sunnie Software, which peddled its product in Mexico, appears to have been an unlikely money laundry. Since the author makes it clear who the bad guys are early on, the slow revelation of what they've done and how they've done it gives the story its kick. Meanwhile, Lucas, after a couple of meth addicts rob him at an ATM, turns for help to series regular Virgil Flowers, who gets surprising results. Once again, Sandford smoothly blends action and suspense with a soupçon of humor. Author tour. Agent: Esther Newberg, ICM." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
Lucas Davenport has seen many terrible murder scenes. This is one of the worst. In the small Minnesota town of Wayzata, an entire family has been killed—husband, wife, two daughters, dogs.
There's something about the scene that pokes at Lucas's cop instincts—it looks an awful lot like the kind of scorched-earth retribution he's seen in drug killings sometimes. But this is a seriously upscale town, and the husband was an executive vice president at a big bank. It just doesn't seem to fit.
Until it does. And where it leads Lucas will take him into the darkest nightmare of his life.
About the Author
John Sandford is the author of twenty-two Prey novels, most recently Stolen Prey; the Virgil Flowers novels, most recently Shock Wave; and six other books. He lives in Minnesota.

CHADRON, Neb. • Local and state officers are searching a wooded area in far northwest Nebraska for a man wanted on Utah warrants.
Dawes County Sheriff Karl Dailey says the hunt began about 5:30 p.m. Monday for Justin Pierce and continued overnight.
Dailey says deputies were trying to serve arrest warrants on Pierce at his residence near Crawford when Pierce fled in in a pickup. Dailey says Pierce soon left the truck and ran into nearby woods. Officers cordoned off about 4 square miles where he was believed to be hiding.
Dailey says he's confident Pierce will be caught Tuesday or that Pierce will come in out of the cold and surrender. The overnight low in nearby Chadron was 15.
Dailey says Pierce is not considered dangerous.

Medicare policy and politics are making big headlines these days. But as political leaders debate the long-term future of the government health care program, people still need to make coverage decisions as they become eligible for benefits.
Any of these decisions could involve navigating a labyrinth of choices and deadlines. Perhaps you take a drug that costs $2,000 a month. Or your employer is providing health care benefits even though you've already turned 65. Or maybe you plan to head south for several months each winter.

A 19-year-old Red Bank resident joined two returning members Wednesday night to be sworn in as members of the Red Bank Regional Board of Education.
Patrick Noble, who ran as the "socialist candidate" in November, took the oath for a three-year-term along with Michael N. Megill of Little Silver and Randy Mendelson of Shrewsbury.
Noble defeated incumbent Nilsa Samol 1,033 to 881 votes in November. He ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the Monmouth County Board of Freeholders in 2011.
Both Megill and Mendelson ran unopposed for their board seats.
A graduate of the Academy of Allied Health and Science, Noble attended Red Bank Schools from kindergarten through eighth grade, according to his Web site.
Following his win in November, Noble posted on the site, "I am a 19 year old socialist, uncompromisingly anti-capitalist, and I would like to work against budget cuts and help make students free to learn."

Calgary's push to try and win the rights to host the 1964 Winter Olympics began with a group of sportsmen in 1957. The Calgary Olympic Development Association (CODA) was formed in 1960 in order to prepare a bid for the 1964 Games. While unsuccessful in its initial bid, losing out to Innsbruck, Austria, the organization remained in existence and would bid again in both 1968 and 1972.
Prior to 1964, there was no customary site used for kindling the Olympic flames for the Winter Games. It was in 1964 that the organizers borrowed the Summer Games tradition of lighting the flame in front of the Temple of Hera in Olympia in Greece.
The 1964 Games were also threatened by a lack of snow as Innsbruck experienced its warmest winter in 58 years. The Austrian army was called in to carve out 20,000 ice bricks from a mountain top and transport them to the bobsled and luge runs. They also carried 40,000 cubic meters of snow to the Alpine skiing courses but rain caused further havoc 10 days before the Opening Ceremony. Conditions at all venues were unsatisfactory, and partly blamed for the deaths of an Australian skier and a British bobsleigh racer during practice runs.
For the first time, Canadians took part in the bobsleigh event. On the very first run of the day, the team of Vic and John Emery, Peter Kirby and Doug Anakin set a new course record, giving them a lead they would not relinquish. Canada's total time was more than a second better than the second place Austrian foursome.
Figure skater Petra Burka brought home a bronze medal in the singles competition while the pairs team of Debbi Wilkes and Guy Revell settled for third in their competition.
Russian speedskater Lidiya Skoblikova became the first woman to win all four speed skating events in the same Games, setting new Olympic records in the 500m, 1,000m and 1,500m. She was only deprived of a fourth record by adverse ice conditions in the 3,000m. When the 1964 Innsbruck Winter Games began, Skoblikova was considered the heavy favorite in the 1,000, the 1,500 and the 3,000, but was thought to be vulnerable in the 500m, the first women's speed skating race of the Games. In fact, Skoblikova led a Russian sweep in the 500. The next day, she set an Olympic record in the 1,500m, winning by 2.9 seconds, the largest margin to date in the history of the event. She went on to win the 1,000m and the 3,000m to become the first person to earn four gold medals in a single Winter Olympics. She was also the first winter athlete to win six career gold medals and she remains the only woman in the history of the Winter Olympics to win six gold medals in individual events.
Italian bobsledder Eugenio Monti became the first recipient of the De Coubertin Medal for sportsmanship after helping the British team of Tony Nash and Robin Dixon win the gold medals after loaning them an axle bolt to replace one that had broken on their sled. Monti's team settled for the bronze.
The 1964 Games also marked a turning point in Canadian Olympic hockey history. For the first time, the nation would be represented by a national team rather than a club team. The idea was the brainchild of Father David Bauer - the younger brother of NHL great Bobby Bauer, who played on the famous Kraut Line in Boston. The Canadian team, which included the likes of Brian Conacher, son of the great Lionel Conacher and Terry Clancy, son of NHL great King Clancy, was considered strong on defence but short on goal scoring. Goaltender Seth Martin, who won the world championship with the Trail Smoke Eaters in 1961, had the most international experience of any player on the team and was the oldest at 31.
After watching the team struggle in pre-Olympic exhibition games, observers gave the Canadians little chance of winning a medal. But Canada started strong, winning 8-0 over Switzerland and they would chalk up four more wins, including a 6-4 win over the defending gold medalists from the United States. Against Czechoslovakia, Canada led 1-0 and goaltender Seth Martin looked unbeatable until Czech forward Miroslav Vlach ran into him on a clearing play, hurting his knee. He was replaced by Ken Broderick, who surrendered three goals and Canada lost 3-1.
Canada's final game was against the Soviets, who had won all six of their games. Canada, needing a win to clinch the gold, jumped out to a 1-0 lead. The Soviets tied it in the second before Bob Forhan made it 2-1 for Canada. The Soviets stormed back to tie the game with two minutes left in the second. For the start of the third, the Canadians made a goaltending change, inserting Martin even though his knee was not 100-percent. Bauer felt the presence of Martin would be enough to throw the Soviets off their game. Soviet coach Anatoli Tarasov responded by telling his players not to shoot unless they were certain to score - he did not want to give Martin a chance to warm up in the nets. The Soviets would score on their first shot of the third to take a 3-2 lead. Martin would face 18 more shots in the period, but would stop them all. Unfortunately, the Canadians could not tally the equalizer, giving the Soviets the win and the gold.
At 5-2, Canada was tied with Czechoslovakia and Sweden for second place but based on goal differential, Canada would be placed third behind the Swedes with the Czechs in fourth. Olympic officials surprised the Canadians by ruling that the tie-breaker would be goal differential based on the entire tournament - not just among teams involved in the medal round. That decision moved the Czechs up into third and dropped Canada to fourth, out of the medals for the first time in Olympic hockey history.
* - In 2005 the International Ice Hockey Federation attempted to pass a motion which would have awarded Canada the bronze medal but only for the World Championship result. The IIHF later changed its mind and decided not to alter the results. Canada's rep on the IIHF, Murray Costello, supported the federation's decision not to give a bronze medal. He says doing so would open a Pandora's box and bring other decisions into question.
"We will do everything we can in Hockey Canada's power to get this medal for the players," stated Hockey Canada president Bob Nicholson.
In September of 2005, the IIHF rejected Hockey Canada's appeal and the results remained unchanged.
"I'm disappointed and disappointed for the players," said Nicholson.

An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural
Introduction | "R" Reading | Curse of the Pharaoh | End-of-the-World Prophecies
Index | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | Y | Z
chiropractic The American Medical Association has referred to chiropractic as "an irrational, unscientific approach to disease causation." Originated in 1895 by one Daniel David Palmer, it was made into a thriving trade by his son, B.J. Palmer. The major claim of the art is that "subluxations" (misalignments of the spinal column) cause illnesses.
The various schools of chiropractic differ in what they claim can be cured by manipulating the spine, some having almost no limit (asthma, bacterial and viral infections, migraine, cancer, AIDS), while others are satisfied to relieve muscle spasms——for which such massage is probably beneficial. Some obviously renegade chiropractors sell their patients on "color therapy" in which applied kinesiology is used to determine the victim's sensitivity to specific colors, and they also use "polarity reversal" in which magnets are used to change the "bioenergy" field of the body. Both systems are perfect examples of expensive quackery, having no basis whatsoever in fact.
Chiropractors have been known to bruise and sometimes more gravely injure their customers, but often these people go right back to receive more at the hands of the operator, seeming not to learn from experience. Chiropractors are fond of pointing out that regular MDs are far from perfect, a fact that in no way validates what they themselves are doing and that appears to be only a method of misdirecting the attention of the detractor.
While there doubtless is some value to chiropractic in respect to massage relief of strains and muscle spasms, statements made by chiropractors include such howlers as specifying that a subluxation of the sixth dorsal vertebra brings about diphtheria. Such a notion is another classic example of quackery.
But having your back rubbed does feel good, and the pops produced by being flexed and stretched do sound impressive.

Port Canaveral:
After three days at sea we arrived at our first stop which was Port Canaveral. I stayed on board and enjoyed the whirlpool and swimming pool. Didn't feel like going to NASA or Disney places.
Nassau:Again stayed on board, so no details.
Got off and stayed local because we were going to leave at 1pm. So we only had about 5 hours to do anything. I stayed local as there were shops and music playing right there. Some people went on tours. This was a refueling spot for the ship.
I had a balcony and the shower was all that I could ask for with the curtain curving away from you and not touching you at all, that's what I'm talking about!
I watched the carnival dancers do a routine of the 70's dances. I also saw an adult comedy show and the comedian whose name I can't remember kept apologizing that he wasn't on his "A Game", and for us to not report him to Carnival. His performance stunk and there were just a few laughs.
Nothing to write home to Mama about. I had My Time Dining and requested to be seated with other people but was seated by myself mostly so went to the Windjammer after a few times.Meals at both places were lukewarm except for the omelets which were plenty hot and I loved that. I could have gone to David's Steakhouse with a fella I met on board if I had thought about it but didn't, oh well. I heard people raving about it and that they served a five course meal.
The staff on the Pride was exceptional. Lots of smiles and greetings. Remembering you by your name.Literally went the extra mile to make your life aboard fun, comfortable and exciting.
I met a lot of interesting people. The fella I mentioned was named Wayne and followed me around like a lost puppy, it was kinda cute really. I ran into some line dancers who were everywhere showing and teaching people to line dance since we had a lot of line music going on.There were a lot of activities to do throughout the day and again I missed the Quest,darn it.Don't know where I was at the time, so can't give any details about that.
We were suppose to dock in Baltimore at 9am, then it got pushed to 12 noon because the captain said we were battling high winds,swells and turbulence due to the storm we were experiencing on the way back. Then another announcement pushed us to back to 2pm which we finally did dock. It was rough coming back and I never felt so dizzy in my life. You felt like you were riding in an elevator that kept dropping up and down and some sideways motion. I didn't get sick as did others but just really dizzy. I was never so glad to get docked that I could have kissed the ground when I got off the Pride around 3:30.
