- Great food-Great PricewinedoctorVIPDined on 9/21/2014I haven't had a meal that wasn't excellent yet. Get the Spinach salad. Share it. It's huge and the best I've had. Had the Quail last time. Incredible. Gotta love the way they do desserts.Special Features:
- A Great ValueDoctorGDined on 9/21/2014In this moderate price range, no restaurant delivers the quality of food that Seasons 52 does. We love it and will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ShameOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 9/20/2014even with a reservation we had to wait 15 minutes to sit. the waiter who served us, it took another 10 to 15 minutes to say hello. took the request of the drinks, let the soft wine on the table with nothing to freeze and disappeared for another 25 minutes, when I lost my patience and asked for the manager to change our waiter. in the meantime, he appeared on the table and was super rude to us. that's a shame, but typical of the Darden Restaurants. The new waitress service was impeccableSpecial Features:
- Reservation did not matterOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 9/20/2014I have eaten at Seasons 52 many times but may never again. We waited over 25 minutes past our reservation time and finally found a table in the bar area, where it was so loud we could hardly hear each other speak when almost shouting. The hostess said they overbooked the restaurant and were running late. They did send a free flatbread and dessert, but they should have done more, like tell us up front of the problem instead of making us angry by ignoring us for over 20 minutes and only admitting the problem when we asked why we had not been seated. Perhaps they don't care if they treat tourists like this, but not everyone who eats there is a tourist. Very disappointing. Who knows how long it would have taken them to honor our reservation.
- silverbuckeyesilverbuckeyeDined on 9/20/2014We have dined here before, but the service and the food were not like we have had in the past. After getting our flat bread, we waited about 40 minutes for our appetizers instead they brought our entree and when I told them we did not get our appetizers she said they would remake our entrees. Our soup and salad was brought to us, but when we got our entrees they were cold. They had been sitting all the time while we ate our soup and salad. Not the quality I expect from a restaurant like Seasons 52. I told the waitress and she only took $10 off our bill. Very disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- never disappointedjohnny220Dined on 9/19/2014I had not been here in a while but, The food and service was fantastic as always.Special Features:
- Exelant!!Mbusa2100Dined on 9/19/2014Great concept. Menu changes with the seasons to stay fresh. All items under 475 calories. Elegant ambience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food great servicelocalDined on 9/17/2014We've dined at this Seasons 52 multiple times; this time we came for the Magical Dining Menu. The food was prepared well, and our server was attentive. This year you get to choose 2 desserts for the Magical Dining. That was nice!Special Features:
- Birthday CelebrationJudyDined on 9/17/2014I took my granddaughter to celebrate her 14th birthday. We went to the same Seasons 52 last year for her 13th birthday and she requested that we go there again. Although the food was excellent our server was not as friendly as last years. She was pleasant but did not seem to know it was her birthday even though the hostess recognized it and even gave my granddaughter a birthday card. All in all, it was pleasant but not as special as last year.Special Features:
- seasons 52OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/16/2014I enjoyed the overall dining experience, we went on a busy night and still had excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great if Time is not an IssueOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/16/2014We arrived at our reservation time of 6:30. First we were going to be seated at a table surrounding by filled tables and very noisy. We asked to be moved to a booth in the bar area, which was great but a waitress didn't come for over 30 minutes. She was very nice but lets just say we didn't complete dinner until 10pm. The wait in between courses etc was not acceptable. Had we not been out with friends we hadn't seen for a long time it would have been horrible. The food was fine but nothing exception.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great LunchPattiDined on 9/16/2014I've been to Seasons 52 several times, but this was my first lunch experience. The Artichoke and Goat Cheese flat bread was delicious - and a perfect size for lunch for one. I had a special request to omit the peppers, and the waiter was very gracious about it. She asked us if we were in a hurry so that she could ensure we got out in a timely manner, but since we were old friends, catching up, she didn't push us, but let us set the pace. We celebrated with a Bloody Mary that just tasted perfect, and the entire lunch was just great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- "Wonderful"DinngDined on 9/15/2014Seasons 52 is always at the top of their game. I have dined there several times and each and every time I find them to be excellent. Customer service is outstanding, from the receptionist to the wait staff. Menu choices are plentiful. All food is presented and prepared well with a high degree of quality. Our party of three had an exceptional dining experience. It was simply, "wonderful".Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Catered to our groupMagicalLadiesofClermontDined on 9/15/2014Tom at Seasons 52 was very attentive to our group. He took care of all of our needs. The Flatbread appetizers were the best that I have had at any restaurant. We ordered from the magical dining menu and the whole table had a taste of the following main courses - salmon, scallops and filet. The Salmon with dill sauce was the tastiest. The scallops were good and there were plenty of them - but the risotto was tasteless and boring. The mini desserts were fun and very yummy.Special Features:
- Service not up to usualChuckHDined on 9/14/2014We have eaten here on several occasions. On each visit the good and service were excellent. On this visit the food was still excellent but the service was not what we had come to expect. We don't know if it was just an "off" night for the waiter, or he was new, or just disorganized. In any case the service this visit was below par.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Utterly SuperbeLrE5Dined on 9/14/2014What a fantastic place! The food was stunning and our waiter, Jesse, could not have done more for us. We travelled from England and this restaurant came highly recommended. We had a fabulous evening and it was so lovely to find somewhere that food allergies are seen as no trouble at all and I could eat exactly what I wanted. All the food was just stunning. Thank you very much Seasons 52 and the next time we come across the pond we will absolutely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food Can Be Found in OrlandoEatUrVeggiesDined on 9/13/2014Great dining experience at Seasons 52 in Orlando. Terrific seasonal menus; you must try one of their signature flatbreads- "delish!" Extensive wine list and broad enough selection on entrees. I have been here before and will certainly return.Special Features:
- Great Food, but...ChowHoundVIPDined on 9/13/2014We have been to this restaurant several times and have basically had great experiences with food and waiters, however, there appears to be a problem with the front hostesses. Each visit we have been made to cool our heels up front for 10 to 15 minutes even WITH a reservation. Someone needs to hire an adult to oversee all the pretty kids running the front. This visit we arrived at 7:54pm for an 8pm reservation and the hostess told us to have a seat, and we would be seated when it was "closer" to our reservation time. Huh? Finally at 8:10pm after watching several young couples seated immediately, we followed the example of the other "older" patrons and asked, "How much longer?" Like the other older groups, we were then seated.Special Features:
- Back on trackHaggisDined on 9/13/2014Have dined here numerous times and been impressed. Unfortunately our anniversary dinner there was awful. We gave it another try and are glad to say restaurant is back on track. Filet Mignon and lamb were delicious and mini indulgences never disappoint. Roys next door still ahead on the sushi rolls I'm afraid!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Magical 33 dinner with friendsgolferskyDined on 9/13/2014We went with some friends to try the Disney Magic Dining for $33. It was great, selection was enough to select from though not all our favorites were on the abbreviated menu. More that enough food to cover anyone's hunger!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LuvgoodfoodDined on 9/12/2014Seasons 52 was a treat!!! Very fresh and seasoned perfectly!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/12/2014Really enjoyed our anniversary dinner here. Our waiter Adam was awesome. Made it fun. Would recommend. And plan on coming back for the great food and service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding and deliciousWorththedriveDined on 9/12/2014We went there on the Magical Dining Plan and they provided 5-star service to our party of four. The filet mignon was so tender, and it was a full-sized portion. We loved the flatbreads - and the salads were excellent, also. Make sure you save a little room for dessert - the selection was great.Special Features:
- Season 52 Magical Dining ExperienceLuv2eatDined on 9/12/2014My best friend and I have reservations for Friday September 12th at 5pm for Magical Dining at Seasons 52 on Sand Lake RD in Dr. Phillips. Everything was excellent. The food and the service from the waiter was EXCELLENT!!! It wasn't until I checked out and checked my bank account to see that I had been charged twice for my meal and a to go meal. I spoke with a manager named Brian on Friday who took care of it for me. He was great and genuine about being sorry about the double charge. But the charge showed back up on Monday. When I spoke to a different manager named Rachelle she was everything but nice and accommodating. There were two people in my party and I was the ONLY charge twice. So if you dine at Seasons 52 pay with cash.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Do you really have to ask???BrockLeeDined on 9/11/2014This place never disappoints. From the moment you walk in to the desert presentation (who can resist) this place is an absolute gem! Flat breads to start followed by what is probably the best filtet mignon one could ask for! Oh and how could I forget the pomegranate margarita martini! The best!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- happy dinerOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/10/2014Great service, good food, best deserts. We continue to come back each time we are in OrlandoSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Magical DinnerTerisu10Dined on 9/10/2014Went to celebrate husband's birthday during Orlando Magical Month dinners. We went with the prix fixe. Our shared appetizer was an awesome tomato flatbread followed by a delicious spinach, pear, walnut, and blue cheese salad. Our entree consisted of a perfectly cooked 6 ounce filet mignon with Yukon gold mash potatoes, and broccoli. Our dinner ended with two mini desserts each. I'm glad we took advantage of the special dinner and I will definitely return to try some of the other offerings on the Seasons 52 extensive menu. Portions were quite generous. You won't leave hungry!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great DiscoveryLuvSteakDined on 9/10/2014We loved Seasons 52! Great atmosphere, food and service.Special Features:
- great foodBobCDined on 9/10/2014A little on the higher cost side but plenty of really delicious food! Vie been to the one in Plano, TX and this one is just as good.Special Features:
- Season's 52 Scores Again!PattiDined on 9/9/2014We had a great evening at Season's 52 with the Magical Dining Month Menu. Everything was delicious, and we had more than enough to eat. Loved the flatbread, the spinach salad, the scallops and the desserts. We ordered the wine flight with our dinners, expecting a wine with each course. They were all brought together after the main course was delivered. My husband had the red flight, and I had the white. Based on the menu, I expected the wines to be paired with the courses, but our server indicated that the wines were standard and not chosen based on our menu selection. Next time we will order a bottle of wine instead. Other than that, everything was perfect, and we will certainly go back!Special Features:
- luv2eatVIPDined on 9/9/2014The original concept of fresh food seasoned w/herbs,under 450 calories seems to have gone by the wayside. Ordered the Parmesan crisps. There was so much grease, it soaked the paper on its container, plate as well. I told the server who said"it's just olive oil."The main courses were no better. My fish left the plate saturated in oil my husband's swordfish too. Our server was much more interested in a party of 10 & kept sending over other servers.He would have gotten a bigger tip from us if the service was good. For dessert I specifically asked that my latte come with the dessert not before. He said of course; we never saw him again so the other server didn't know. From dining there 5 nights/wk. it will be a long time before we return.
- Off Night I hopeLocavore32720Dined on 9/7/2014Although we were seated promptly and greeted by our server, getting drinks took forever; in fact, huge gaps in between courses. When the food finally came, server disappeared again. One of the members of our party was served room temp filet and potatoes on a warm plate. The wait had been so long for the food and he was so hungry that he didn't dare ask for a replacement meal once the server came back. The manager came over and did the right thing by comping the meal, but the entire meal was just weirdly off and the restaurant wasn't even that busy. Used to better service/food from Seasons 52.
- Service was a spoilerLeChefDined on 9/7/2014The evening started out fine. The server was very attentive and helpful. As the dinner went on and he became busier, he became less and less attentive to the point that we had to ask another server for things, like silverware when our food arrived! We literally sat there with no flatware for almost five minutes waiting for clean silverware. Don't you think the person, (or our server), that delivered our meals would have stayed around long enough to realize we need utensils? From there is got worse. We even had to ask another server for our check. When our server brought it, he still didn't acknowledge that he had been terrible. He gave us his card and asked that we would request him on our next visit. Yea, I don't think so!Special Features:
- nice fall foods for my wifebdaywishesDined on 9/7/2014I loved the fall selection of foods and the dessert tree.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent birthday lunchDarlTDined on 9/7/2014I took a friend here to celebrate her birthday. The ambience and view was lovely, and the food was delicious. The waiter was also very friendly and informative. Great celebration!Special Features:
- Always a favorite!DinerDined on 9/6/2014Seasons 52 is a favorite of ours. The food is always exceptional. Service is always great. Do make a reservation or plan to sit in the bar. We have done that as well, but it is a different dining experience than the main dining room. Terrific for special occasions or just a really nice date night.Special Features:
- RushedoceanzDined on 9/6/2014Friday night - reserved table was in the bar with lots of people standing around. Definitely not a good place for a semi-quiet dinner. The food service was also extremely rushed - Flatbread and salad all came out at the same time and before we were even finished with that, the main courses arrived. Food was good, but would have been better if we had ample time to enjoy it.Special Features:
- Great ExperienceLalithaDined on 9/5/2014We are regulars to this place; that itself tells that how much we love this place. Food is fresh, tasty and the quantity is just right you don't feel over eaten or bloated. Quality is excellent.Special Features:
- Great dining experienceDRJBGDined on 9/5/2014Great food. In an area with many dining choices, this place ranks in the top 3.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yummy as "healthy" dining can be!FondueLoveDined on 9/5/2014Great food and great service. Good to note that this restaurant prides itself on it lower calorie dining options, however it is as yummy as "healthy" dining out can be. Yes, some of their dishes lack that high calorie taste of super rich, creamy sauces, but their food is seasoned well and is very tasty. You leave the restaurant feeling satisfied and not feeling guilty for eating a heavy, high calorie dine out meal. Service was good, however we were a little disappointed that the servers hardly recognized the fact that we were on our honeymoon vacation, which we listed in our reservation and mentioned to the server in the beginning of our meal. Overall, great restaurant with a great view!Special Features:

Lyrics & Chords
this song is from jab we met… a nice one by mohit chauhan lead singer of the band silk route… i din get karaoke… so had to sing along wit the track. hope u can make out my voice in between mohit's awesome voice
the one whoz singing all wrong lyrics is me… :D
lemme knw how it is…
Nithya said
Whatever I could hear of your voice was good ….
Prasanna K said
It was a bit weird to hear this :)…
In some places, it was like I was hearing echoes, in other places your voice was in sync with the original.
Karaokes for most songs are available online, at one place or the other. Newer songs take a few weeks to months to show up. You could also ask other folks for their backing tracks, or where they get them and check in those places.
Many of us have sung songs without a backing track, when we couldn't get karaokes. That puts your voice clearly in center-stage, so people can hear you :).
Perhaps you could give that a shot? Although not all songs are good without a backing track….
Deepak Nayak said
You should try this with Karaoke… You sing pretty well… Keep it up…
Prashant Singh said
nice job dude keep it up!!!!!
Prashant Singh said
have u added flange in this song?
Amar Prem said
Good but its mixing with the originals….good effort :)

Despite the sunken slumping shoulders
beaten by weighted misfortunes.
Despite the glacier crushing of my heart
and the ice crystals pumped around me
shredding my veins with cold, cold blood.
I tell myself,
I'm ok. I'm ok.
Despite the empty sobbing from within,
and deflated lungs bellowing soft whimper
after whimper. Regardless of the feeling
of being the only man with no soul.
I tell myself.
I'm ok. I'm ok.
Oh how I miss the heady, fresh morning scent.
That fragrant aroma around the home
That is the breath of God into the nostrils
that truly gives man life and makes him think
I'm ok. I'm ok.
That slender, graceful, warming hand
that caresses his face so gentle, yet firm
that warms his icy quartzite heart
and brings true meaning to the words
I'm ok. I'm ok.
And wherefore is that soundless song,
the tune that plays when naught exists
but two cherubim dancing naked, smiling.
And both feel sheltered, safe to say
I'm ok. I'm ok.
Without it just a ghoul, I feel.
A poltergeist, heard but never seen.
A woeful, sorry, horrid dream
that wakes you, sweating, as you scream
I'm ok. I'm ok.
Why when the sky around you falls
does pride rear its ugly head
to pull back your arms as you reach out
you're tear-soaked hand, and make you say
"I'm ok. I'm ok"?
The smallest, yet the greatest lie.
I'm ok. I'm ok.
Despite the sunken slumping shoulders

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
"The way I understand it, those who did the Dalaran orphan quests when they were introduced last fall effectively got to do that portion of this year's Children's Week several months early."
It was stated when the quests were introduced last fall that they were originally intended to be introduced in 2009's Children's Week but due to time constraints, were not. If no one was intended to be able to repeat the quests until the 2011 Children's Week there was no reason to for them to implement them in the fall on 2009 in what players were led to believe was akin to a one-time rescheduling of the quest.
"If you can't pick up the Dal quests now it's because you did them already for this year." Not technically. I did them in last year's make up that you prefer to consider a sneak preview. See, it's all in how you look at it.
"Why all the QQ?"
Because people don't like to wait.

At the selection event, a presentation panel and an interview panel will offer an opportunity to demonstrate competence in oral communication skills, self awareness and openness to learning, personal maturity, warmth and empathy, resilience, professional skills, motivation and application, contextual awareness, problem solving and decision making and a commitment to fairness and inclusivity. These competencies were established as important to success as a trainee clinical psychologist by a job analysis exercise in 2011. Ratings of all the competencies above will contribute equally to the candidate's score. The person specification may also be helpful to applicants.
The panels for the two meetings during the selection event will consist of at least three people. They will normally comprise a current 2nd or 3rd year trainee, a member of the programme staff, a local clinical psychologist, and a member of our public involement group. Current trainees will be available throughout the day, providing an opportunity for questions, informal de-briefing and support. As part of our quality assurance processes there may be an observer present during your interview/presentation.
The presentation panel meeting comprises a prepared presentation and a problem solving task. The prepared presentation is on the subject of how I developed the personal maturity and self awareness to prepare me for clinical psychology training and lasts 10 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of questions from the panel. The problem solving task is not prepared beforehand. The candidate is asked to read a paragraph describing a dilemma. They then prepare one acetate slide to describe their proposed solution and present this solution to the panel. This section takes a total of 15 minutes.
The interview panel comprises an interview and a clinical simulation. The interview requires the candidate to describe prior experiences and behaviour to demonstrate their competence. It lasts 25 minutes. The clinical simulation is based on the candidate's reactions to a short video of people struggling with a common issue. The video is shown in the interview room and the candidate is asked about their understanding of what is important to the people in the film clip and any personal reaction to them. This activity does not draw on clinical experience. It lasts a total of 15 minutes.
The activities at the selection event will include a short supervised mental ability test. More information on the format of this activity and example questions are available here. The results of this test will contribute to the candidate's overall score.
The results of the written task undertaken on 13th February will not be taken into account at this stage.
Example Problem Solving Task
You can download our example task here.
Example General Mental Ability Questions
You can find out more about the general mental ability test and get example questions on our explanatory page.
Example Film Clip
Verbal feedback will be available to all interview candidates at a later date, to be arranged during the selection day.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A man accused of assisting in the robbery of a pharmacy Thursday night spoke to KREM 2 News about the crime.
William Higgins, 25, was arrested for the armed robbery at Shopko on East Sprague.
Higgins began to cry as he told KREM 2 News he knew his friend was likely going to steal from the store but he denies knowing about the robbery.
"I thought he might be going in to steal something. I didn't know he was going to rob it," said Higgins.
He said he knew his friend had robbed Shopko when he started pulling out bags of drugs when he got back in the car.
"I knew he was going in for memory card and I knew he didn't have money,' said Higgins.
Investigators were told a man robbed the pharmacy at gunpoint and took off Thursday night. Employees gave deputies a description of the suspect's getaway car. Officials said the car, a gold Honda Accord, was later spotted going north on Pines.
READ: Two arrests made in Shopko pharmacy robbery in Spokane Valley
Deputies were able to pull the car over near Broadway and Pines. According to investigators, Higgins stayed in the vehicle while the suspected robber, Steven Perry, 28, ran from the car.
Deputies eventually caught up with Perry on foot. When Deputies searched the area, they found a handgun they believed was used in the robbery.
Another gun and prescription drugs were also recovered at the scene.
Higgins was booked into jail for the charges of 1st Degree Armed Robbery and Driving While License Suspended. Perry was booked into jail for the charges of 1st Degree Armed Robbery, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm and Obstructing.

This is fine for collecting chips and coarse dust, but the dangerous small dust particles, the ones that damage your lungs, can blow right through and get pumped into the air. Use this with a good dust mask. I don't know if this has enough power to use with an aftermarket high-efficiency bag, but probably not. It is what it is- can't expect all that much considering the price.

Great for smoke and dust evacuation
By CapMike
from Shelton, Ct
About Me Frequent User
Comments about Central-Machinery 12 gal. Mini Dust Collector:
I have used this for evacuating smoke and dust from a Epilog Mini laser. I now have it connected to my Epilog Legend 32. The suction exceeds the requirements from Epilog and keeps my mirrors dust and smoke free. I just need to find a way to eliminate the turbine sound as it needs to be in the same room as my laser.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent for ocational use
By lee
from Undisclosed
I attached this D/C to my 14" industrial Grizzly band saw. It is powerful enough to take care of most of the saw dust. It is light enough to hang on the wall to save space.
noisy but just keeps running

See all my reviews
This machine has been running for about 6 years now. I have ran through about 6 sets of brushes and it just keeps on sucking that air like A wind tunnel
works for me
It needs better carbon brushes in the motor. They are easy to replace and Harbor Freight has a good price for them
Works well with no problems
By Walt C.
from Redding, CT
I've been using this daily for 3 months. No problems at all. I'm using this attached to my lathe. Yes, it makes a little noise- it's a vacuum! For the money I'm very happy with it. As with ANY piece of equipment, a little care goes a long way. This has helped keep my shop and lungs much cleaner.

good deal but needs modifications
By dust divel
from FM, FL
you get what you pay for. I have this unit since two years on different job sites, removing tiles or drywall. It is doing the job when it comes to avoid dust. I modified the unit by taken out the dust bag and replacing the intake and outlet with 4"x8' drain pipes as needed. This way you can leave the little noisy unit as far away as you want and get the most suction.

bag had an imperfectly sewn seam. 4" tubing difficult to attach to intake. I would not recommend for a ducted dust collection system.

Worked great for awhile
By Chris
from USA
Bought it last June (2011) with the extended warr. It just died and upon checking it out found the brushes were shot. Have to take it back for a replacement. Used outside for a cnc router. Ran tubing out to it from the garage, no problems with volume.

October is the best month of the year. I mean, how amazing was it when it was 100 degrees one day, and a crisp 76 the next? It was like Mother Nature finally let out a deep breath and the world sprung to life with golden leaves and bright blue skies and white fluffy clouds and a soft breeze … and yes, I love October.
But what makes this month particularly important is the celebration of the year's best holiday: Halloween. I am a fiend for it. I spend the entire month trying to find scary books, watching scary movies – even ones like "The Others" and "The Sixth Sense" in which the ending makes up the whole point of the movie – and going places that embrace the Halloween spirit.
Here are some of my suggestions to get into the holiday spirit in the Sacramento area.
Callson's Manor in Roseville (LINK)
I went here for the first time last year, and while my friends and I got lost on the Placer County Fair Grounds (which was actually terrifying as it reminded me of home, not in a good way), the mini theme park may lure me back again this year. It's comprised of tented horror houses, each with its own level of terror – which, as I recall, was fairly accurate in its estimation. Some of that stuff was crazy scary – the actors in the tents had amazing costumes, the obstacles were f-ing creepy, and all five of your senses were on alert, as advertised. This is also a fun place to bring kids, but for those of us kid-unfriendly, I didn't think children running around overwhelmed my experience. I highly recommend this as a group outing, if y'all are ok with the drive out of Midtown.
Bobby Dazzler's Pumpkin Patch (LINK)
I know, I already written about this Davis/Woodland retreat, but my admiration of this place was confirmed by a friend who said it was the best pumpkin patch she had ever been to (let's ignore the fact that it was the ONLY pumpkin patch she'd ever been to). It's not tacky. It's not loaded with bells and whistles. It's just heirloom pumpkins – a massive variety of them, and not a lot of crowds. I recommend heading there just before sunset, when the fields are gold, the lighting is just right, and you feel like you've left it all behind for pumpkin scavenging.
Bishop's Pumpkin Farm (LINK)
As an alternative to the grown-up Bobby Dazzler's, Bishop's out in Wheatland – another trek, my friends (I scour the region for Halloween, I tell ya) is the opposite of Bobby Dazzler's. It's got the train, and the Halloween village, and the corn maze, and tons of children running around. It's a much more festive environment.
Old City Cemetery Lantern Tour (LINK)
Hahaha, I'm only adding this because I want to gloat. This tour is SOLD OUT, folks, and this is the first year I was fast enough to get tickets. Tickets go on sale the beginning of September and sell out within three weeks. It's insane. Basically, a cemetery volunteer – in Victorian costume! – leads a group of people through the cemetery – which, seriously, is my favorite place to sit and think and be alone in Sacramento, it's just so gorgeous – and tell the weary woes of death, disease, and demise in historic Sacramento. I am so looking forward to it. Don't worry, I'll write up a report after so you can all be jealous.
Old Sacramento Ghost Tour (LINK)
Ok … this tour needs a lot of work. My parents came up for this, and they thought it was cheesy. HOWEVER, I am still recommending it! I recommend it because it was the only time I was in Old Sac and I wasn't completely pissed off and annoyed by all the tourists lurking around. The tour is late at night, you get to see some of the old buildings all lit up, and the stories – the real ones – are interesting. Plus, I will say the creepiest part of the tour is the first in Eagle Theater, which I felt the most ghostly presence.
Ghost Adventures: Sacramento (LINK)
As my husband can tell you, I have an unhealthy obsession with this show. I would watch re-runs of this every night if I didn't have to share the TV. Zak, Nick, and Aaron – the three Ed Hardy stooges of this Travel Channel show – took on Old Sacramento's ghosts with this episode, and I have to say, it's fun to watch. They go underground (which I have yet to do, thank you Old Sacramento Historic Foundation for making those tours so accessible to the public … not), they investigate the old court house, and they got great evidence in the Eagle Theater (see! told you it was haunted).
Other events I have yet to do – anyone got good intel on them?
- Running Dead: 5K-10K Zombie Mud Run (Oct. 20)
- Sexy Halloween Costume Party (Oct. 26 – adding this only as a joke)
- Sutter's Fort: The Haunted Fort (Oct. 26 & 27)
For more event ideas, check out the Sacramento Convention & Visitors Bureau's website.

Laparoscopic gastric banding
Laparoscopic gastric banding is surgery to help with weight loss. The surgeon places a band around the upper part of your stomach to create a small pouch to hold food. The band limits the amount of food you can eat by making you feel full after eating small amounts of food.
After surgery, your doctor can adjust the band to make food pass more slowly or quickly through your digestive system.
See also: Gastric bypass surgery
Alternative Names
Lap-Band; LAGB; Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding; Bariatric surgery - laparoscopic gastric banding
You will receive general anesthesia before this surgery. You will be asleep and unable to feel pain.
The surgery is done using a tiny camera that is placed in your belly. This type of surgery is called laparoscopy. The camera is called a laparoscope. It allows your surgeon to see inside your belly. In this surgery:
- Your surgeon will make 1 - 5 small surgical cuts in your abdomen. Through these small cuts, the surgeon will place a camera and the instruments needed to perform the surgery.
- Your surgeon will place a band around the upper part of your stomach to separate it from the lower part. This creates a small pouch that has a narrow opening that goes into the larger, lower part of your stomach.
- The surgery does not involve any cutting or stapling inside your belly.
- Your surgery may take only 30 - 60 minutes if your surgeon has done a lot of these procedures.
When you eat after having this surgery, the small pouch will fill up quickly. You will feel full after eating just a small amount of food. The food in the small upper pouch will slowly empty into the main part of your stomach.
Weight-loss surgery may increase your risk for gallstones. Your doctor may recommend having a cholecystectomy (surgery to remove your gallbladder) before your surgery.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Weight-loss surgery may be an option if you have been severely obese for 5 years or more and have not been able to lose weight through diet and exercise.
Laparoscopic gastric banding is not a "quick fix" for obesity. It will greatly change your lifestyle. You must diet and exercise after this surgery. You may have complications from the surgery and poor weight loss if you don't.
People who have this surgery should be mentally stable and not be dependent on alcohol or illegal drugs.
Doctors often use the following body mass index (BMI) measures to identify patients who may be most likely to benefit from weight-loss surgery. A normal BMI is between 18.5 and 25. This procedure may be recommended for you if you have:
- A (BMI) of 40 or more. This usually means that men are 100 pounds overweight and women are 80 pounds over their ideal weight.
- A BMI of 35 or more and a serious medical condition that might improve with weight loss. Some of these conditions are sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
- Allergic reactions to medicines
- Breathing problems
Risks for any surgery are:
- Blood clots in the legs that may travel to your lungs
- Blood loss
- Infection, including in the surgery site, lungs (pneumonia), or bladder or kidney
- Heart attack or stroke during surgery
Risks for gastric banding are:
- Gastric band erodes through the stomach (if this happens, it must be removed)
- Gastric band may slip partly out of place
- Gastritis (inflamed stomach lining), heartburn, or stomach ulcers
- Infection in the port, which may need antibiotics or surgery
- Injury to your stomach, intestines, or other organs during surgery
- Poor nutrition
- Scarring inside your belly, which could lead to a blockage in your bowel
- Your surgeon may not be able to reach the access port to tighten or loosen the band (you would need minor surgery to fix this problem)
- Vomiting from eating more than your stomach pouch can hold
Before the Procedure
Your surgeon will ask you to have tests and visits with your other health care providers before you have this surgery. Some of these are:
- Blood tests, ultrasound of your gallbladder, and other tests to make sure you are healthy enough to have surgery
- Classes to help you learn what happens during the surgery, what you should expect afterward, and what risks or problems may occur
- Complete physical exam
- Nutritional counseling
- Visit with a mental health provider to make sure you are emotionally ready for major surgery. You must be able to make major changes in your lifestyle after surgery.
- Visits with your doctor to make sure other medical problems you may have -- such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart or lung problems -- are under control
If you are a smoker, you should stop smoking several weeks before surgery and not start smoking again after surgery. Smoking slows recovery and increases the risk of problems. Tell your doctor or nurse if you need help quitting.
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
- If you are or might be pregnant
- What drugs, vitamins, herbs, and other supplements you are taking, even ones you bought without a prescription
During the week before your surgery:
- You may be asked to stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), vitamin E, warfarin (Coumadin), and any other drugs that make it hard for your blood to clot.
- Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of your surgery.
On the day of your surgery:
- Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before your surgery.
- Take the drugs your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
After the Procedure
You will probably go home the day after your surgery. Many patients are able to begin their normal activities 1 or 2 days after going home. Most people take 1 week off from work.
You will stay on liquids or mashed-up foods for 2 or 3 weeks after surgery. You will slowly add soft foods, then regular foods, to your diet. By 6 weeks after surgery, you will probably be able to eat regular foods.
The band is made of a special rubber (silastic rubber). The inside of the band has an inflatable balloon. This allows the band to be adjusted. You and your doctor can decide to loosen or tighten it in the future so you can eat more or less food.
The band is connected to an access port that is under the skin on your belly. The band can be tightened by placing a needle into the port and filling the balloon (band) with water.
Your surgeon can make the band tighter or looser any time after you have this surgery. It may be tightened or loosened if you are:
- Having problems eating
- Not losing enough weight
- Vomiting after you eat
Outlook (Prognosis)
The final weight loss with gastric banding is not as large as with gastric bypass. The average weight loss is about one-third to one-half of the extra weight you are carrying. This may be enough for many patients. Talk with your doctor about which procedure is best for you.
The weight will usually come off more slowly than with gastric bypass. You should keep losing weight for up to 3 years.
Losing enough weight after surgery can improve many medical conditions you might also have, such as:
- Asthma
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Sleep apnea
- Type 2 diabetes
Weighing less should also make it much easier for you to move around and do your everyday activities.
This surgery alone is not a solution to losing weight. It can train you to eat less, but you still have to do much of the work. To lose weight and avoid complications from the procedure, you will need to follow the exercise and eating guidelines that your doctor and dietitian gave you.

A lush lakeside retreat. Enthusiastic owners spoil guests rotten - comfy beds,sumptuous baths, exceptional meals, a hot tub under the stars.
Hike to Cadair Idris – the scenery is breathtaking. Return to a hot tub under the stars, and champagne to toast your good fortune. This lakeside B&B in southern Snowdonia is utterly spoiling and Ricky has become a chef of reputation. Slow-roast lamb shank, fillet of local salmon, a trio of Welsh ices; the menus change each day. Spacious bedrooms (one is downstairs) have ever-changing views, bathrooms are sumptuous and you wake to the smell of Welsh bacon: breakfasts are to die for. Binoculars for the birds, a wonderful welcome for you, candlelit dining... it's bliss. Read the full write up here »

The Old Rectory on the lake is situated in the southern part of the The Snowdonia National Park which covers over 830 square miles of quite stunning and diverse scenery. The Park also boasts the largest mountain in Wales – Snowdon at 3562 feet above sea level – and the region's largest natural lake. We are between the very Welsh market town of Dolgellau and Machynlleth, which used to be the home of the ancient Welsh Parliament. Now 'Mach' – as it is know to the locals – is now famous world wide for having the Centre of Alternative Energy on its door step.
The Old Rectory on the lake is also not that far from the coast – Aberdyfi is a delightful village perched by the seaside and if you travel northwards towards Harlech the beaches and sand dunes are incredible.
Just down the valley is The Talyllyn Railway – the world's oldest preserved narrow gauge steam railway. This fantastic operation is run mostly by volunteers and a trip on it can be an utter delight whatever you age. This band of enthusiasts also organise a footplate driving experience and many of those who come to do this stay overnight with us – getting up at 6am the next morning to stoke up the engine!

Is it because they were too busy answering surveys?
This just in:
Washington, DC (PRWEB) October 18, 2004 -- 71% of marketers reported time as a key concern in managing a business blog for their company or organization according to results from a recent WordBiz survey. 45% were unsure what to write about, 18% questioned if the content needs to be edited or pre approved and 15% wondered who would be responsible for the content. Yet, when asked if they have considered starting a business blog, more than 80% responded yes.
I'm enormously tempted to fill in other responses that the marketing folk might have had for why they hadn't started their blog but I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader :-)
- These posts might be related (the database thinks..):
- Oh yeah? Survey this! (27 August 2004; score: 74.42%)
- A quick survey: does anyone believe surveys? (27 July 2004; score: 56.76%)
- Why shopping is moving online; and the music industry sues itself (1 July 2005; score: 40.04%)

Yeah, I reckon they were too busy providing reliable ROI and ensuring maximum monetization of vertical, horizontal and diagonal channels resulting in improved mindshare and very, very shiny kippers.
Shiny kippers, I tell you.

This was really good. Quick and easy. A keeper for the rotation. For people who do not like spicy food at all, this will seem spicy, I think. For those who do like spicy food, like we do, it's mild but not bland or completely without any heat. We followed the recipe exactly except for using fresh garlic & we didn't mind it as is at all, but it would have been fine kicked up a notch, too, in terms of spice.

Made this last night, and it was fantastic. Followed recipe but used just one chx breast, don't know if that was 1 lb or not. The flavors were just right. It wasn't spicy but very flavorful. Can't wait to make it again - it will be a go-to recipe from now on.
Angiesue82 Posted: 10/08/10
My husband and I LOVED this receipe. Its something different to add to the weeknight rotation - its a fairly simple and quick dinner. Excellent use of beans and great spice flavor. We like spicey food so we kicked up the heat, but it was very flavorful on its own. Its not pretty, but we'll definitely be making this again!
Slowfoodie Posted: 03/23/11
A fantastic family dish -- simple to make using ingredients mostly from the pantry, and loads of fabulous flavors. I added shredded Kale for a green vegetable to make it a one-pot meal; fabulous. Recipe doubles easily.
hemipode Posted: 12/10/10
Quick and delicious! Threw in some mushrooms, used chicken broth instead of wine and added a little cilantro at the end for color. Made a great quick meal. Great flavor and very filling.
Uccella Posted: 04/24/11

AllysonLyons Posted: 10/01/11
Quick, simple and delicious! We topped it with some diced pineapple for a sweet & spicy mix. The leftovers made yummy wraps for lunch the next day.

A tasty, quick stew for a weeknight dinner, but I wouldn't serve it for a special occasion. Served with cole slaw.
wcujenn Posted: 10/26/11
My husband and I love this recipe. We have found that we like it served wrapped up in warm flour tortilla shells and topped with a little sour cream and cilantro. I would definitely recommend!
AshleyS Posted: 10/19/11
Let me just say there is nothing wrong with this recipe and I will definitely make it again....I did not see giving it 4 stars because I would not fix for a special occasion. It is a great weeknight standard and will fit well into the mix, but don't think it is a "company" recipe. I agree with the other posters about there not being much spice, but again we are big spice eaters. I found that a adding little Sriracha (sp?) right before munching on my bowl added a world of spice and flavor! :) Next time I might add some corn, hominy, or kale.
whare71 Posted: 10/28/11
Good recipe, but a little bland. Will fix it again, but I'll try to spice it up a bit.
1penndy Posted: 12/07/11
Easy to make and a great meal!
lfirebrand Posted: 01/08/12
This was pretty good. I realized I was out of curry powder as I was making it so I improvised my own, using coriander, paprika and garam masala. I also used red kidney beans instead of black beans. Overall, I thought it turned out okay, if a little bland, so I added some additional spices, a green pepper, some chili peppers, and a shot of sriracha sauce. Fresh cilantro is a must. I served it over brown rice and thought it was very tasty, though not very Jamaican.
BarbPila Posted: 12/17/11
I read reviews before making this dish and Ramped up the spice based on those reviews. i like spice so this was a good move. I served it over brown jasmine rice. not only will I make it again, I think it's a worthy substitute for any chili dish for a game day party!!!
TCUnurse Posted: 02/11/12
nice meal for a cold wintery night....served over rice
ppppppp Posted: 01/21/13
I thought this recipe was company-worthy. Everyone I have prepared it for over the last ten years or so has loved it. The first time I made it, however, I felt it wasn't spicy enough. So the second time I doubled the spices, but it was overly spiced. The third time I multiplied the spices by 1 and 1/2 and it turned out perfect.
beezer825 Posted: 03/20/13
I made this for dinner based on the reviews and very rarely dislike cooking light's diverse recipes, however this was not good. It had a very odd, musty taste. it may be the allspice, not sure, but I hate to say I will not be making it again. It just wasn't that good.
PeteSoup Posted: 02/16/13
I really enjoyed this dish and will definitely make it again. It was quick and simple, so it's great for any occasion. I made two alterations. One, I eliminated the all spice because my wife does not like that flavor. Two, I used white wine instead of red because I had a white open. All I did to finish the dish off was add some salt to taste at the end and served the dish with some wine.
iliketurtles Posted: 07/31/12
Followed recipe as shown only substituting fresh garlic for the bottled, using 1/4 tsp ground habenero pepper instead of crushed red, and 1 TBSP fresh thyme in place of dried. Will add some salt next time however. All in all though, this recipe is a keeper. I love both Jamaican and Indian cuisine, and this dish sort of melds the two together.
Keiko123 Posted: 02/01/14
I used to have a home in Jamaica and my sister in law had a Jamaican restaurant, and I'd never seen anything like this. The thyme and curry is used a lot in JA food so am guessing that's what gave it the name. Nonetheless, I liked the ease of this and the mix of flavors. The capers give it just the right touch of salt. I used chicken thighs mostly due to preference (real women eat dark chicken meat!). Served over rice makes a great meal to carry for lunch. I was surprised that it made an awful lot, more like to serve 6 if you add a salad and the rice.

Look! Finishing Touches Complete Art Deco Bathroom
I kicked off DIY month by completing a couple of different projects over in Mom's apartment. The first project was in the bathroom which we redesigned last year to return to its art deco roots. One of biggest changes last year was getting the building to install a GFCI outlet in the bathroom; unfortunately, they covered that new outlet with terrible cream faceplate which we replaced with the brushed metal plate pictured above. The more we looked at it however, the more we knew it just wasn't right...
Then one happy day I received the new Rejunvenation catalog in the mail and found the perfect replacement- a classic porcelain faceplate. I ordered the black faceplate, but my delight when it arrived was soon tempered by the unfortunate realization that it didn't fit because the outlet was so close to the door trim. Finally this last weekend, I bought a chisel at Home Depot and went to town. Though there are a couple of paint touchups to be done, both Mom and I are happy with the results.
19 Comments
I don't know too much about art deco design, but are those two small surfaces above the sink part of the tile work? That is such a great idea!
That bathroom is so pretty! It's lucky you got a nice black and white combo tiles...I've seen the horrors of putrid pink with black !! (sorry for the unlucky ones!) Yuk!!!
Love the floor!
This is a great solution to a common problem! I love everything about your bathroom...the sink, medicine cabinet, wall tile/bath surround, the floor tile, shower curtain, and the trash can too!
I love the tile - very pretty combo. Only complaint is it seems everything in there is either white or black - maybe a color or two added with a rug and a small drink cup that is some bold color.
Very lovely :) I'm gearing up to redo my little bathroom so it's more in line with the rest of my 1920's Craftsman bungalow. Right now it's stuck firmly in the Laura Ashley 80's (not my doing!). I love the tilework!
I absolutely love the floor. I think when we add a master bath to our house (years from now, sadly) I will try to convince my partner that we need to do the black and white. I love it! :)
this looks great. excellent work!
Thank everyone!
ChrisGal- we actually do have some pops of dark red on the walls not seen in these photos. The bathroom is teeny-tiny, but I might try to capture some additional photos for a future post...
basketweave tile!
Le sigh...
Lovely room, and the black is Much better.
What a trip! We live in DC (Mount Pleasant) and this is, basically, our bathroom. The black porcelain toothbrush holder and cup holder over the sink are built in, but modern toothbrushes are way to thick to fit in the holes.
We haven't replaced our outlet cover with the black porcelain one from Rejuvenation, but we actually have installed a light fixture from rejuvenation and that's now over the medicine cabinet. It's this one: http://www.rejuvenation.com/fixbshowW987/templates/displayer.phtml
I thought the fix was going to be replacing the cream flip switch and cream outlets with black or stainless. Why not do that?
Do you find that the switchplate sits further away from the wall than the metal one did? I ask because I have the white ceramic ones in my bathroom, and they fit oddly, almost like they need to be caulked in place?
You still need to replace the outlet & switch to match the plate. I think that's probably the reason why you didn't like your first choice and I think after you look at it for a while you're not going to like the second choice either.
I would have gone for white in both cases to make it disappear into the white wall.
Love those old bathrooms!
Love it! I have almost exact same tile work. Where did you get that fantastic shower curtain? Please tell...
I like the new look, but part of me wonders if it wouldn't have been easier to cut the tile instead.
I have the same fit problem in my kitchen -- glad to see your work-around!
I see a lot of these bathrooms in Florida - yours looks great!
I have that exact same sink in my bathroom (former 1920s hotel in Chicago).
Really cute! I am doing a similar bath. Do you mind telling me where you got the cute shower curtain? I try to stay out of the stores as much as possible, so would love to go straight to the source!

Liquor License Board Commissioner Elizabeth Smith has promised that the agency will improve.
"I can assure you that the agency is going to change the way they operate," Smith told the Fell's Point Community Organization last week.
Fresh on the heels of a scathing audit of the Liquor Licensing Board by the Office of Legislative Audits, Smith attended the FPCO meeting last week to introduce herself and answer some tough questions.
FPCO President Joanne Masopust said that prior to the audit's release, she had invited Smith to attend the meeting simply because most of the community's interaction had been with Liquor Board Chair Stephan Fogleman, and she wanted to meet other commissioners.
Then, the audit came out.
"I probably could have sold tickets for tonight," joked Masopust as she introduced Smith.
Among other topics, Smith drew a stark dividing line between the three appointed commissioners—herself, Fogleman and Harvey Jones—and the agency that runs day-to-day operations, headed by Executive Secretary Samuel Daniels Jr.
The three commissioners, appointed by the governor for two-year terms, make decisions on issuing liquor licenses, renewing licenses, transferring licenses and issuing penalties, such as fines, suspensions, or revocations of licenses. They also set policy for the agency.
The administrative arm of the agency, headed by Daniels, performs inspections of establishments, administrative tasks, and day-to-day operations.
The Liquor Board is a state agency; it sustains itself though revenue earned from licensing transactions. That money goes to the city, which uses it to fund the administrative arm of the agency, headed by Daniels.
"I don't think we realized how bad it was until about five months ago, when we got the internal report [of the audit]," said Smith. "You have no idea how angry I get when I see that."
Masopust called the three commissioners "the most community-oriented and responsive commissioners we've had."
Resident Cliff Ransom was more skeptical.
"I think the Liquor Board has demonstrated that it is an inherently bankrupt institution, from a philosophical point of view," he said.
Ransom noted that he has had no success in getting the Liquor Board to enforce a Memorandum of Understanding between his community and a bar.
Smith responded that the three commissioners do not receive notification of 311 calls that have been left unfulfilled.
"There is a disconnect," she said. "It's a problem."
She told Ransom that she would look into the situation and give him an answer within 24 hours.
Smith noted another situation in which, after hearing community complaints, she personally witnessed a local bar serving drinks in to-go cups for patrons to take with them. After holding the bar accountable, she said, "You would be surprised at the backlash I got."
"I'm sure it came from the inspectors and your fellow commissioners," Ransom said.
"No, not the commissioners," Smith responded.
Ransom later questioned the usefulness of a 311 system "that doesn't bloody well work."
"The system works," replied Smith. "It's the people. There will be major shakeups in the Liquor Board—the agency."

The location was great. Lots of food & retail areas nearby. The a/c unit worked great. The free Wi-Fi was great.
It was a non-smoking room, but was adjacent to a smoking room. With the poor ventilation it was like being in a smoking room. Didn't clean room or change linens one day. Unattractive shower & horrible pillows.They billed my credit card prior to my 2:00 check-in time which irritated me because I was planning to use another card than what I reserved with. Room had an ironing board but you had to get the iron from the front desk. The peep hole was so scratched up that you could barely see out of it. The free breakfast was in a corner in the office & didn't look inviting. I saw an America's Best Value once I got back to Fort Worth & it looked 100 times better than this one.

Poor 2.0
Everything elseThe motel is NOT comparable to other 2 star motels in the area in the same price range. There were no basic amenities (hair dryer, coffee pot, iron). The room was disgusting with large stains on the carpet, numerous holes in the bedspread, and the bed had to be the most uncomfortable thing I've ever tried to sleep on. The internet service was poor. The police showed up a few doors down, and there was a dog barking in the parking lot half the night. Had the room reserved for 4 days, but stayed elsewhere after the first night.

Not much
This was advertised as a no smoking room. When I checked it had obviously been smoked in so I contacted the manager. He apologized and offered to spray the room, I declined. No other help. Outlet in bath not working and tub drain mostly blocked.Other than the above, the manager did not offer any discount on the room or further assistance. The next morning at approximately 9:30 am I tried to find some coffee. The breakfast area was 'closed for cleaning' and no coffee was to be found. The manager was not present, however I left a note for him/her outlining the problems I had experienced. After paying almost XXX for this room (taxes included) I was extremely disappointed with its condition and response of the management. This as a NON SMOKING hotel, so it was hard to believe that no one on the staff noticed the smoke odors in that room.

I liked the staff, they were very friendly and always ready to help. I've been to several hotels and this was by far the best breakfast. It was especially amazing when it met the needs of a picky husband and kids.
