82 reviews | 4.5 out of 5
I bought this stroller (in a different color) in my store this past summer. For under $40 it has held up well. My son at the time of purchase was 2 1/2 and normal size range. He did not fit in any other of the lightweight folding strollers offered in the store. This one is great. Has a little storage area under the seat, enough for a small bag or water bottle. The upper parent fabric consol is very nice. It holds at least three drinks or sippy cups and what looks like a tissue holder area to hid keys or phone. The sun shade is fixed and only works so well, but many expensive stroller brands have the same design. When my son is in it because of the 5 point harness he has a hard time leaning out of it unlike the cheaper 3 point waist belt style strollers. I still carry my son quite a bit but for when we go shopping or for a walk this stroller fits the bill as a nice option. If he is sitting in it I can easily put my purse or bags over the handles (or even under the consol part! it just unsnaps!) and it does not tip backward. The "recline" is so so but he can sleep comfortably in it. No reason to have him in full out recline. And because of the 5 pt harness he does not hunch over in his sleep. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it does not steer smoothly. I usually end up going backward though normal door because if I stop mid door opening I end up tripping on the stroller because the wheels don't swivel as easily as I think they could. But for a great keep in the car or lightweight affordable option it is hard to beat. ***Bought a munchkin add on cup holder for my son since there was no place for him to put his drink if he was holding it. Recommending the one below because it looks like it would stay on better than mine and attaches with velcro. I might try to find this one in a store.***
Great little stroller, I bought it for my 5 year old ( we were in a parade ). and she sat in it most of the day, its very strong and sturdy.
Buy it! You won't regret it. I was trying to decide to get this one or the Mcclaren and I am glad I decided on this one because it is way more affordable and it gets the job done with some added perks.
We love the height of the stroller. My husband is 6foot and he does not hunch over when pushing it. We also love the small storage underneath. We usually only stuff it with some blankets and other odd and ends. We can't fit our backpack in it..but that is okay with us.
At first I didn't like the shade hood because everytime I closed up the stroller it would bend the shade hood and it gave it a kink that was awful. However, I just recently realized (duh) that I put the shade hood too high on the stroller. We moved it down (like the picture shows) and it's perfect! No more kink in the shade hood.
For the price, you have nothing to lose. IF you hate it, then get the mcclaren. We've been using our for a year now mostly and disney and around the mall and it gets the job done.
The stroller is nice. First I got one of those cheap 15 dollar strollers because I had the big heavy bulky jogger strollers and he grew out of the first stroller that attaches a car seat. I needed something light weight but I I hated the cheap 15 dollar stroller because my son looked huge in it and did not look comfortable. I call them toy strollers. This one I really like because it is light weight just like the other stroller BUT it has back adjustment so he can be more comfortable and underneath I can put his a diaper bag or my purse or whatever instead of holding it all the time and it has cup holders for me so it makes it easier. It maneuvers easy but wish it had a little cup holder for him on the side. I am pretty happy with this affordable stroller
I bought this stroller for our trip to the OBX...since we did not have enough room in the mini-van for the bulky travel system stroller. This is a great stroller for the price and is very well made!!! The cheaper umbrella strollers you can buy in the stores can't even touch this one. It is comfortable for even my husband to push (no hunching over) and you don't catch your feet on the bottom. It is very small and light and folds up very compactly. It also opens very quickly and easily. The 5 point harness is great and keeps my curious 15 month old in the stroller. The organizer pouch at the top is awesome...when we go out shopping I put my keys, sunglasses, phone, and usually a drink in it and then what I need is right there at my fingertips...which keeps little excursions with my little one and my twins...simple and quick! This has been a great buy!
we purchased 2 strollers and had them delivered near disney for our vacation. arrived on time and the strollers were great. we intended on leaving them in fl but ended up taking them home. my son is well over 40 lbs and the stroller had no issue handling him across the many miles walked at disney. great buy and excellent price
This stroller is a decent well built stroller, however we purchased this stroller under the assumption that it had a multi position reclining seat. In actuallity it really only has two positions as it doesn't recline much at all, your baby or child will still be pretty near straight up. This stroller is only good for quick trips to the mall or grocery store.
I needed a lightweight stroller that was easy to open and fold up that didn't take up much room in my car's trunk. I didn't want just a basic umbrella stroller and this one has extra stuff like a canopy, though it's a little small, and some storage room at the top and a small storage area at the bottom. It also has a 5 point harness, which I reallly like. My toddler seems comfortable in it and likes the foot rest. This stroller is lightweight, easy to open and close, and takes up a lot less room than our big bulky stroller that came in a travel system. I'm giving it 4 stars because my husband accidentally kept kicking the back wheels while pushing it and the placement of the handles is a little short for him but I haven't had any issues with it. I didn't like that the all black version was $10 more and that I had to order it online instead of getting it at the store. I would definitely recommend this stroller. It's a good value for the price.
If you like travelling and walking around, this serve the purpose. Its sturdy, the width is good and the size, like it too that it doesnt tip back even if I put the baby bag along the handle. the price is also good. If your purpose though is to use it to walk while your child is sleeping, it does not recline as much and its hard to get your stuff under.
I was very excited to get this because it seemed like it added the ease and small space of an umbrella stroller with space solutions of a bigger stroller. First the good, the wheels are great, very big rolls easy, and the storage space is ok and has a taller handle. Now for the bad, the recline feature is only about 2 inches and my stroller parent console came messed up. So I called the co. had to send photos of it to verify it was really broken, then waited about 4 bus. days for reply, they told me they would send me a new one "as a one time courtesy." I didn't think it should have been a "courtesy" seeing as it came messed up but whatever there sending me a new one. I got the new one in about 10 days, it was nicer than the one that came with the stroller... but my stroller is red and they sent me a brown console. I'm taking advantage of walmarts return policy and just taking it back. Not worth the extra $$$.
The second time I used this stroller I hit a curb and bent the wheel. It wobbels. The sun shade wont straighten out and the handle cover slips when the weather is warm. I would pay a little more for better quality.
I bought this stroller because we were going to Fl on vacation and didn't have room for the full sized stroller. I like it because it is so lightweight and folds up like an umbrella stroller. The parent pouch at the top is nice. I like that it has the basket underneath, however, the support bars in the back cross right in front of the main access area for the basket. Because of this, it is really hard to get items in there. Other than that I really like this stroller!!
We have 3.5 y/o twins so we've mostly used double strollers, but we just flew with them for the first time recently and wanted to bring two umbrella strollers for getting quickly through the airport. We had a cheap Kolcraft one from a consignment sale and decided to spring for this one for our second. I liked that it's a step above most umbrella strollers with the parent tray, higher weight limit, and storage basket. We were very happy with it! Our boys are 37.5" and 38" and each about 33 lbs and they fit comfortably in it. The seat back does end below the tops of their heads so if you're looking for a stroller that a taller kid can nap in, this is not the one for you. Our boys aren't stroller-nappers anyway so it really wasn't an issue for us. For a cheap stroller, it handles pretty well (except on the gravel and sand trails at a nature preserve we went to ;)). My 9-month-old nephew was in it for a bit and napped comfortably in it. Love the parent organizer; there is actually room for two water bottles/drinks on each side plus the Velcro compartment in the middle. The shade isn't big but not bad. It tends to pop off when you fold the stroller so we took it off before gate-checking. Overall, very happy with this stroller.
Really good stroller for the price. Very durable, which we need since my husband thinks off roading with the baby is a must. The one thing that wasn't what I expected was the reclining doesn't recline as far as I thought, it only leans back so the babies head doesn't slump forward in his sleep.
I purchased this to take on a trip 12 hours away and have been using it to go for walks before we leave, and love it! It's very easy to use, rolls really well, is so lightweight and so easy to fold up, I can fold it up and bring it in the house all the while holding my 8 month old! :)
I purchased this for my grandson for travel to Europe rather than bringing my daughters heavy jogging stroller. It was compact and light and folded easily. The top storage holder made holding things look easy and at arms reach.
We did not end up using this product, as he is only 6 months old and the back support seemed not to offer as much support. It does recline, but only about 2 inches, so keep that in mind.
We went with an alternative, which offered a little more back support and wrapped shoulder harness, but I think this would be a good choice if you had an older child. The alternative we chose did not have the cup/item shelf near the handles, which I missed. The stroller handle height is excellent as well. The shade canopy is not large, but would do the job, especially if you needed to use the rain sheild. Although we didnt use this, I would recommend it for older babies and overseas travel or when you have to check the stroller. Light and easy to fold, important when on the ramp, and lightweight enough that the stewardess would check and hold on plane if there is room. Looks built sturdy as well.
Lighweight, folds easily, handles can hang on your arm, while holding
the baby's hand.
Got this for our granddaughter. She's 2.5 yrs old.
Her other strollers were too heavy, hard to fold and cumbersome to get on/off buses.
As a true umbrella stroller, this is the Cadillac version.
Good price, fast shipping.
No complaints here.
I bought the red one because of low price among all the colors. I liked the way it folds and unfolds. There is just one clip near the rear wheels which you have to reposition and fold it. Many of the stroller has a 2nd clip which keeps it folded, it does not have that and still it stays folded. There is ample space below the seat to keep a water bottle and a kid's jacket. The front wheels turn nicely. The hood does not seem to be so useful, it wont save the kid from rain or anything, but there is no better anyway. I haven't attached it.
I'm 6'2" tall so I needed a stroller that wouldn't have my slouched over to push it. This stroller is tall enough for someone like me and light weight as well for traveling. I can open it up with just one hand while holding my toddler in the other! The under storage is a waste of time since u can't quite fit nothing underneath since its fixed in its position and the seat is too low to push anything between. Other than that one complaint I live this stroller!
It was just ok...it says 50 pound weight limit, my son is inly 34 pounds and it seem like its flimsy. Kinda hard to steer as well. Basket underneath is useless,I should have spent more money on something better constructed :(

PERSONAL FINANCE; The Taxpayer's Turn to Win a Few
by Deborah Rankin
Published: October 1, 1989
The number of rounds in which the taxpayer emerges the victor after battling the Internal Revenue Service are precious few, but lately the Government has been taking it on the chin. In a variety of court cases that provide lessons for average taxpayers, individuals have prevailed. They have won disputes over deductions of home office expenses and personal computer purchases and they were awarded legal fees for litigation that arose because of heavy-handed I.R.S. action. What follows is a rundown of these rulings. Home Office. The call in this case was a split decision that favored the taxpayer, a transportation expert who operated his own consulting business from 1976 on. In April 1984 he was hired by the Department of Energy as a consultant, and spent half his time at his home office and the rest either in the field or at the department. In September of that year he was hired as a full-time employee by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
To claim a home office expense, you first must show that you use the space regularly and exclusively for business purposes. You must then meet one of the following conditions: The office is your principal place of business, it is used to meet patients, clients or customers or it is used in connection with your work as an employee for the convenience of your employer and not just because it is helpful to your job.
The I.R.S. disallowed $2,700 of the consultant's office-at-home expenses for 1984, arguing that his principal place of business was at the Department of Energy until September and at the I.C.C. after that.
The Tax Court disagreed, noting that the home office was the only reasonable place where the consultant could create the report for which he was being paid by the Energy Department. But the revenue service did convince the court to accept its alternate argument: That the deduction should be allowed only until September, before the consultant started working full time for the I.C.C.
Michael F. Klein, national director of tax consulting with the accounting firm of Price Waterhouse, said it is important for people who work as independent contractors using their home as a base to ''document exactly where you spend your time.'' Because working for only one client can raise the issue of whether you are an employee or an independent contractor, ''the more clients you have, the better off you are,'' he added.
Home Computer. People who work at home can claim the cost of some types of property, like home computers, as tax deductions as long as they satisfy certain I.R.S. tests. Generally, employees can take a deduction only if the equipment is used for the convenience of their employer and required as a condition of employment.
Recently, the Tax Court allowed a couple to deduct the cost of a home computer over the objections of the I.R.S. The revenue service had disallowed the deduction on grounds that the taxpayers had failed to show they were unable to properly perform the duties of their employment without the computer.
In dismissing the I.R.S. argument, the Tax Court noted that the job duties of the husband, a psychology professor, called for research involving huge amounts of data and writing, a task that was helped by having a computer. In addition, the wife's job as a government transportation planner involved ''number crunching,'' which had been done on a mainframe computer owned by the state until the state eliminated access to it; the woman's office lacked the funds to purchase a computer of its own. By buying the computer themselves, the court noted, the couple ''spared their employers the cost'' of providing them with comparable equipment.
To successfully defend the purchase of a home computer, Mr. Klein suggested that taxpayers keep records of ''what in fact they are doing with the equipment at home, and show how it relates to their work.'' In addition, he said, it is helpful to have a letter from your employer stating that the home computer is necessary for you to perform your job duties, even though such a document ''is not explicitly required, and may sometimes be self-serving.'' Attorney Fees. An individual who prevails against the I.R.S. in civil tax litigation may be awarded reasonable attorney fees and court costs if the position of the Government was not substantially justified. That rule was reaffirmed this summer when a taxpayer was awarded $25,000 in litigation costs as a result of a particularly egregious position adopted by the I.R.S. in a dispute over the value of a charitable gift, according to the Research Institute of America, which publishes tax materials for professionals.
The case concerned the donation of a large collection of ''antique stereoscopic negative glass plates and related property'' to the University of California. The donor claimed a charitable deduction of $1.4 million, based on the valuation of a professional appraiser who spent almost 40 hours examining the collection. The I.R.S. valued the collection at zero, and completely denied the deduction.
The taxpayer then employed a second appraiser, who valued the collection at nearly $1.6 million. The Government again rejected the valuation and this time hired its own appraiser.
The I.R.S. appraiser set the value at $1.2 million after studying the collection extensively. The I.R.S. did not give the taxpayer a copy of this appraiser's report, however. Instead, the agency retained yet another appraiser. This second Government appraiser set the value at $450,000, but never physically examined the collection.
The dispute went to trial, and the Tax Court ultimately concluded that the value of the collection was $1.25 million. Following that decision, the taxpayer successfully sought reimbursement of litigation costs. In granting the award, the Tax Court said it was unreasonable for the I.R.S. to stick with the zero valuation throughout the trial, given that it had no evidence to support its position.
''The I.R.S. seemed to lean over backward to put the screws to this guy,'' said Sidney Weinman, an attorney and senior editor with the research institute. While the magnitude of the donation is far beyond the means of most individuals, the same principle applies regardless of the size of one's tax dispute with the Government.
The message, Mr. Weinman said, ''is that if you are in a situation where you incurred court costs because of what you think was an unreasonable position by the I.R.S., and you have prevailed against the Government, give some thought to the possibility of requesting an award of your attorney fees and other costs.''

I'm on a big kick right now of trying out different places for espresso and macchiatos. I can no longer have a cup of cheap coffee from the deli like I sling back on the weekdays. The weekend is now reserved for tasting new coffee delights.
This weekend I knew I had to try out Abraco. Abraco has been getting great reviews from everyone it seems. Ever since my experience at Fika where my Ninth Street Espresso macchiato had no comparison, I have been more open to trying out different joints. Abraco is much closer than Fika as well. It's down on 7th street in the East Village where we find ourselves almost every weekend.
Abraco is a very tiny little espresso bar. When we arrived on Saturday there were about 5 people inside, which meant there was no room for us! That's how tiny it is!We patiently waited outside until a couple people left and then squeezed ourselves inside.
As soon as we walked in the door the man behind the counter gave us a huge smile and jovial welcome. Everything about him reminded me of a cartoon character with his wild hair and throaty voice. I liked this place already!
Mr T and I both decided to order macchiatos and I went for a Ginger Snap cookie.
My macchiato came and I spooned a teensy bit of raw sugar from the bowl on the counter and took a sip....
Yum. Serious good stuff. I loved it! It was such a good balance of creamy, strong, rich and smooth. I really can't explain it....and I don't even want to! It was plain delicious!!
Mr T announced it to be better than 9th Street and I would have to agree. Fika is still my fav but I have to place this as a very close second. It may move into a tie soon because of the location but we'll see what happens.
The Ginger Snap cookie was a classic- nothing more nothing less. Next time I want to try out their olive oil cookies which sound intriguing.
The best part about the whole experience, besides the amazing coffee, was the service.
The place was crowded the entire time we were inside and the barista treated everyone like a long lost friend. I just felt good inside being in there.
Unfortunately we should have stayed and had some sandwiches there :(
Instead we went to meet friends at Village Pourhouse to have some beers and watch some College Basketball.
About 2 beers in I realized that my early morning English Muffin a Ginger Snap cookie was not going to tie me over. I decided to order the burger because, well....any place can make a decent burger right?
It came out of the kitchen and it looked okay (are those grill marks painted on..)
So I took a bite.
Eww...It tasted like it had been covered in pepper and meat seasoner. I mean I could hardly taste the beef! And the texture was just strange.
I was really hungry (and a little buzzed) so I ate about a quarter of it- masking the taste with ketchup, tomato and mayonnaise (and I never have mayonnaise on my burger). Then I finally stopped. I was beginning to feel a little gross.
Damn you alcohol! You cloud my food judgement!
Well- long story short- I woke up the next morning about 5:00 with searing pains through my stomach. I felt like someone was stabbing me repeatedly with a sword.
I'm sure there is an importent moral to be learned in this story, but I don't know what it is.
I just wish I had just stuck with my great macchiato.

Monty's Pizza
I had a work function the other day and they ordered a bunch of pizza's from a place called Monty Q's on Montague Street in Brooklyn.
I had heard people I work with rave about this stuff so I was pretty excited to try it out. Pizza is such a funny thing. Although it is only made of three main ingredients people swear by some kinds and really hate other kinds.
I grabbed a fairly small slice to start and tried it out. The first thing I noticed was the grainy bottom and crust. This is usually the sign of a brick oven pizza. The second thing I noticed was the sauce itself which was quite sweet. I actually like a tomato sauce that's more on the sweet side but I have to say the sweetness got to me a little on the 2nd slice. I don't think I could eat more than 2 because of it.
As you can see this slice of pizza is very thin and has an awesome floppiness to it that I love in pizzas. I also thought that the sauce to cheese ratio was perfect.
Because of the sweet taste of the sauce I actually added a little bit of parmesan cheese to the top, which I never do, and I really enjoyed it.
Okay now for the down side. I found that the pies were very inconsistent. A couple I looked at had bright white crusts and no bottom char which tells me they were undercooked.
Another pie I looked at had super thin slices on one half and thick on the other half like the dough wasn't properly tossed.
This was a large order so I can't be too hard on them. I am interested to try this place for a slice on a regular work day and see how it comes out. That will be the true test.
Overall a pretty good pizza.

Giorgio's Still Got It!
We went out for our "Valentines dinner" this past Sunday. We always celebrate a day or two later. I hate going out on the day itself. I feel like it's very hard to get a true representation of a place on such a crazy restaurant day.
This year we didn't even try something new. We wanted to stay around our neighborhood so we decided to go to Giorgio's of Gramercy. We used to frequent this place quite a lot but hadn't been in at least a year. We started the night out first though with drinks at Gramercy Tavern.
We grabbed the last two seats at the bar and each had a lovely glass of Tocai from the Channing Daughters to start. Gramercy is such a wonderful place to relax and after our glass of wine we decide to stay for one more drink since we just enjoy the surroundings so much.
This time we went for one of our favorite beers the Saison DuPont. Between the wonderful selection of beer and wine, great smelling food and lovely ambiance it was hard to tear ourselves away from Gramercy Tavern. We contemplated staying for dinner but then decided to keep on with our original plan.
We walked over the block to Giorgio's and the first thing I noticed was the walls. They redid the place since the last time we were there and the white walls had been replaced by a bright bold red. The effect was stunning. My elegant little place now seemed sexy! I really liked it. And although I love Gramercy Tavern I was looking for more of this kind of quiet, gentler atmosphere.
We sat down and ordered a bottle of Sancerre to begin. On Sunday's every bottle of wine is $15 off. It's a pretty good deal...Come to think of it I think we almost always come to Giorgio's on Sundays!
As we were looking over the menu they brought out an amuse bouche.
This was a Pastrami Cured Crostini. This was okay- I've never been that big a fan of Pastrami but a little nibble like this once in a while is nice.
We placed our order and they brought over some crusty bread with a nice olive oil for dipping.
Now I should point out that when we walked into the place around 6:30 it was pretty empty. Over the course of the next half hour or so it became packed with a large party taking up the entire back and several couples up front by us. I think this caused a little bit of panic because our waitress was running around and it was quite a while before our appetizers arrived.
Luckily neither of us was starving so we didn't mind too much but I was kind of relieved when they finally got to our table.
We decided to get two appetizers we could both share because…well sharing is kind of romantic, yes?
First up were half a dozen oysters.
Now we are just getting more into oysters so forgive me if I'm not exactly positive but I think she said these were Pemaquid Oysters. It was a special that night so it wasn't written on the menu.. These were really good! There was some kind of citrus sauce in the middle for dipping but all these required was a little squeeze of lemon and they were fantastic.
We also decided to get the Giorgio's Antipasto. This was also excellent. There were a couple pieces of prosciutto, soppressata, boccaccini and robiola cheese, green beans, olives and apples. The green beans were barely touched by us to be honest but the rest we devoured.
Then came our entrees. I was so excited. I had been dying for this dish and it delivered.
This is the New Zealand Rack of Lamb with lemon roasted fingerling potatoes and a horseradish demi-glace. The lamb was cooked a perfect medium rare and had an herb crusted coating on the outside that tasted exquisite with the horseradish demi-glace. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was amazing. This was a huge amount of meat and I ate the whole thing!
The only thing I didn't care for were the shaved Brussels Sprouts. These were combined with parmesan cheese and I think the cheese was a bad idea. To me there is nothing better than a simple roasted brussels s sprout with a little salt and pepper. Why mess with a perfect vegetable?
Mr. T ordered the Pan fried Trout with Molasses Braised pork Belly. The picture doesn't do this dish any justice.
The trout and the pork belly were so interesting and really played well off each other. The whole dish was covered in an apple cider reduction which again helped the whole sweet and savory come together. It also came with a side of corn pudding, which was actually more like a muffin ,but really tasty.
We also ordered a side of Parmesan Mashed Potatoes. These were okay but we barely touched them. We were to into our own dishes of fish and meat to be bothered filling up on potates!
Well after all of that food we were pretty stuffed…but this is our Valentine's Day dinner! We needed to end with something sweet! So we ordered desserts.
I got the Walnut Crème Brulee with caramelized bananas
Wow- what a totally new spin on a Crème Brulee! The top was lightly dusted with powdered sugar and although it was mostly bananas it still maintained that classic crisp sugary top. The walnuts really took a back seat here flavor wise but that was alright with me. I love caramelized bananas!!!
Mr. T got the S'more Bread Pudding.
This was a chocolate marshmallow bread pudding covered in caramel sauce, graham cracker and vanilla gelato. This was a little too rich for me. The bread pudding itself was REALLY Chocolaty. I think if it had a little more marshmallow flavor it would be more balanced. The vanilla gelato however was great!
We ended our meal very happy and content. When the bill arrived we wondered aloud once again why we don't come here more often. That fantastic meal was a pretty reasonable one as well.
Giorgio's is one of those true gems one is lucky to have in their neighborhood. It's good to know they are still making such wonderful food and my return visit won't take as long next time

Cappaccinos at Caffe Dante
It was such a cold and windy day on Saturday I really felt like just curling up somewhere with a nice warm drink. I had been wanting to try out Saint Ambrous because I heard their coffe was excellent. On the way there it got so cold though that we decided to make a change and headed to Caffe Dante which was closer.
Caffe Dante is an Italian Coffee Shop that has been around since 1912. They serve food as well but I've never eaten a meal there. The place itself is cute and cozy though.
We sat down and ordered up a couple of drinks to warm ourselves up a bit. I got the Cappaccino Dante.
The Cappaccino Dante is basically cappaccino topped with a dusting of cinnamon and cocoa.
It was really creamy and oh so delicious. Caffe Dante really knows how to make a good cappaccinno. Mr T had a double espresso which was also pretty good. No where near the Fika goodness but pretty darn good.
Caffe Dante has tons of delicious looking pasteries like cannolis, eclairs, tiramasu...Just tons of Italian desserts. I'm trying to cut down on the number of sweets I eat a day so I decided just to go for two mini cookies rather than a huge piece of cake (which I really wanted).
The pink cookie was cherry and really quite nice. The second I thought was just an M&M butter cookie but it had the flavor of anise. I hate anise!! I don't know why people have to throw this in and ruin a perfectly good cookie.
Apparently this place is a big tourist spot because right as we were finishing our drinks a bus load of British teenagers filed into the place. And I'm not exaggerating-it really was a busload. There must have been 30-35 teens!
It was a little overwhelming! Luckily we were finished so we grabbed our check and left. Caffe Dante's a great spot for a quick pick me up on a cold day.

Sake Bar Hagi
I was dying for some more delicious caffeinated beverages the other day so we grabbed the train uptown to go to Fika. We actually stopped off on the way at the New York Public Library just to walk around and were surprised to see a really great exhibit on Jack Kerouac. We were delighted to have found such a great thing to do on a Saturday that didn't involve any money so....we decided to go out to dinner. That's just the way we roll :)
After Fika we walked down into the Times Square area and headed towards Sake Bar Hagi. We had tried to go here once before and there were no tables. This time we showed up at 5:45 just 15 minutes after they had opened, and scored the last table. 5:45...Who eats at that hour? And this place is packed!
Even though this is in Times Square it is NOT a tourist destination. Hagi is a basement itzakaya barely visable from the street above. We sat down and ordered some Kirin Light, shochu and a bunch of dishes. The point of an itzakaya is to relax and take things slow, so it was about 20 minutes later when our first items started to arrive. First up was one of the specials a Duck Yakitori Skewer.
Mmm Mmm... Fatty greasy goodness! The duck was really moist but also had a great smoky taste to it. I was about to order a couple more when Mr. T reminded me that this was only our first dish and I should probably wait for our others to see if I could eat more....(some times he has good ideas). Next up was another special the Yellowtail Sashimi
This was pretty good. I was kind of expecting to be blown away by the sashimi like I was at Aburiya Kinnosuke but this was just your average good fish...Good but not melty transcendence. Next we tried out the Yellowtail Collar.
I was really excited about this but because I heard the collar was awesome but this was kind of disappointing. First of all it was really fishy tasting and then there was tons of meat! I thought the collar was supposed to have very little meat and that's why it was so good and interesting tasting...I'll have to try and get it at Aburiya again and see what it's all about. Next up was the Grilled Fatty Pork.
This was pretty good. The pork was a tad overcooked making it a little tough but the flavor was nice. My favorite dish of the night was next the Sea Eel Tempura.
The eel was only slightly battered so it was light and crispy. The best part was the salt they served with it on the side that tasted like yuzu. Wow! I could have eaten a couple plates of this stuff! So at this point I was feeling a little bad about eating so many salty, fatty and fried foods so we ordered a salad to end on. The Bacon and Spinach Salad to be exact.
Holy Cats! This was the fattiest thing of the night. I think what they did was fry up a bunch of REALLY fatty bacon in a pan, throw some spinach in a bowl and then pour the fried bacon and ALL of the grease in the pan over the salad as a dressing. I mean this was literally dripping with liquid fat. I have to say it was disgusting. The one big bust of the night.
Before I headed out I stopped off in the Ladies and saw this sign posted. I thought it was so funny I took a picture:
Kind of cute and comical. So overall I liked Sake Bar Hagi. We decided next time we needed to order some different stuff because the people around us were eating some dishes that looked amazing!!! One of the best parts about Hagi is that it's cheap. You can try out tons of food without breaking the bank.
If you're going to come to Hagi- come early. By the time we left it was a little after 7:00 and there were at least 15 people waiting on the stairs for a seat. This is a pretty popular place.

A Pretty Decent Burger at Fitzgeralds
It was a cold and wonderfully snowy Tuesday and I loved every minute of it! We haven't had any snow this year and I always love the first big one.
I walked home from work and decided we needed to go out to a cozy Irish bar for dinner and to watch the snow fall. We didn't want to go far so we decided to head over to Fitzgerald's.
Fitzgerald's is just a local pub with the classic dart board and mega-touch machine. The one thing I love about it though is the windows up front. You can sit and just stare outside at the goings on of the world and that's exactly what I was looking for.
We grabbed a seat and had a couple beers before we decided to order. We both went for the Fitzgerald Burger.
The Fitzgerald burger is basically a ground chuck burger topped with cheddar cheese on a sesame seed bun. Classic toppings and a side of fries make the meal complete.
The burger is pretty big- about 10 ounces and I couldn't even finish it. It was cooked perfectly medium-rare and for $6.25 was quite a bargain.
Unfortunately Mr. T's Happy Hour Guinness was also $6.25. Not exactly a great deal for a Tuesday night out but the bartender was friendly and he ended up giving us the last drink on the house. You really can't ask for more than that. A good place to have in the neighborhood when you're looking for some pub grub.

A 50:50 Lunch at Perry Street
So....THE GIANTS WON THE SUPER BOWL!!!!
Holy cow! Who saw that coming! One of the best Super Bowl victories of all time and the Giants are the ones that pulled it off. Mr Trekker is a HUGE Giants fan. So when Eli threw that bullet into the end zone we were going crazy!!! I woke up the next morning with half blurred memories of drinking way too many beers and some kind of weird blue shots chanting "Eli" "Eli"!
Now normally after a night like that I would be done for the entire day. I had pro-actively taken the day off of work ahead of time just because I knew I wouldn't be feeling too well after such a big game. But you know what- I woke up feeling great!
I literally bounded out of bed with the adrenaline from such an amazing victory still pumping through my blood. I wanted to continue the celebration but had no idea what to do. Mr T was on the couch dedicated to watching sports highlights all day but I needed to get out. I decided to call up Mr. T's sister, who works from home, to see if she wanted to go check out one of the amazing lunch deals I'd heard about around the city.
Minutes later I was out the door and headed down to Perry Street to meet up with Kate.
Perry Street is located way over on the West Side Highway inside the bottom of one of the glass Richard Meirer buildings. I walked inside and was surprised to see it quite deserted. There was a table of two ladies, one group of five and a table of two men and that's about it. I was the first one to arrive so once the waiter sat me at the table I had a chance to look around the place
The space itself is very calming with white hues and lots of open spaces. Very minimalist in terms of decor. They had a couple of round banquets that would be great for big groups and windows lined each wall.
The waitress brought me the menu and the first thing I noticed was the wine specials on the left hand side. They had a Pinot Blanc, a Torrontes and a Cotes du Rhone listed for $5 a glass!
Now I'm not one to have a glass of wine at 2:00 on a Monday but at these prices I felt I had to! Also I was still celebrating the Giants so I figure that was a great excuse.
I ordered a glass of the Pinot Blanc and then Kate arrived.
Once she looked at the menu, she agreed with the wine price and decided to try a glass of the Cote Du Rhone and we placed our food order. At Perry Street you pick 2 courses from the list and a dessert for $24. What a bargain!! This might be the best deal in the city!
We were just starting to rehash the events of the night before when the bread arrived.
They gave us each a roll and we dug in.
The bread had a nice soft center and slightly sweet taste. It wasn't particularly special but it was a good start to the meal with our wine.
Then the waiter brought each of us out an amuse bouche.
This was a celery root and cranberry soup. As you can see it was very pretty to look at with a beautiful rose shade.
The soup itself was very good. It had a thick, almost velvety texture to it. I had a celery root soup amuse bouche at Jean George proper and hated it- this was much much better.
Then our first courses arrived. I had ordered the Spinach and Goat Cheese Omelet with Shoestring Potatoes.
I have to say it didn't look very appetizing when it arrived but then I cut inside.
The egg itself was okay...I think it could have been a little fluffier with a better egg to cheese and spinach ratio but it was pretty good. The shoestring potatoes were nice and crispy and a perfect complement to the omelet.
Kate had ordered the Peekytoe Crab Salad with Honey Crisp Apples and Fall Vegetables.
This dish was much more appetizing to look at when it arrived but unfortunately it did not deliver. There were just too many flavors going on. I had a bite of the crab and hardly tasted it. Instead the entire dish was overwhelmed by an overall tart flavor.
So we were a little disappointed with Kate's dish but had high hopes for our second courses.
I ordered the Pan Roasted Chicken Sandwich with speck, arugula & fontina cheese.
I thought this was really good! The top half of the bread was layered with a roasted red pepper puree and the bottom of the bread had what tasted like an olive tapenade. The layer of Speck gave everything a slightly salty taste.
I ended up taking a little bit of the red pepper spread off since there was so much but overall I really like my dish.
It came with a side of homemade potato chips which I honestly only had one of- they were quite boring and I never felt the need to go back for more.
You know the Lays slogan "Bet you can't eat just one?" Well here I could!
Kate ordered the Grilled Beef Hanger Steak with Herbal Spinach and Liquid Gruyere.
Unfortunately this dish completely bombed. The steak itself was so tough it was almost rubbery. The spinach and cheese had a flavor of jalapenos that completely overpowered everything. Not only that but the whole cheese thing was totally unappetizing.
At one point Kate said "They really treated my steak like a fondue party gone wrong."
I thought that pretty much summed the dish up perfectly! At this point we had ordered another glass of wine and were feeling the effects more than usual since it was so early in the day and ended up laughing about how bad the dish was for a while.
I felt kind of bad that Kate was 0-2 at this point but luckily our desserts fared much better.
They had given us a choice of white chocolate dessert or dark. I chose the white chocolate and it was excellent!!
There were balls of white choclate mousse sandwiched between two layers of meringue and topped with a scoop of yuzu ice cream.
This was light and refreshing! I was so full but I ended up eating the whole thing!
Kate ordered the Dark Chocolate Pudding.
She also loved her dessert but couldn't come close to finishing it because it was so rich.
So in the end my meal was pretty good but Kate's was less than stellar. She even said she never come back.
When we looked back on the food, especially Kate's, there were just too many things going on. We both felt a little like we were eating at a southwest Bobby Flay type restaurant rather than a Jean George establishment.
I think I'm going to give this place another try in a couple months. With the $24 price tag I really want to like the place! Oh well- at least we both enjoyed the cheap wine!
Yey Giants!!!!

Seymour Burton- Does It Get Better Than a Burger Fried in Butter?
We were hanging out in the LES this past Saturday having some drinks at Marshall Stack when I got a huge burger craving. And not just any old burger - I wanted a good gourmet style burger. I remebered hearing about a new place Seymour Burton opening up so we decided to head over and see if we could grab a table.
From the outside Seymour Burton struck me as odd looking. It's on sleepy East 5th street which houses Sophie's and Lavagna. For some reason the outside didn't seem to fit on that block. It was a little too bright and sterile looking. Once I went inside though the place felt much better.
We were greeted at the door by the chef. Now this has never happened before. We asked for a table for 2 and got the last one available. They had a large communal table that ran down the center of the room that was open but reserved for a private party.
The place itself was nice. They made good use of the amount of space avaiable. Besides the communal middle there were tables on either side, and the back was the open kitchen. I always love an open kitchen It just makes it more exciting.
The walls were painted red and kind of worn looking. Not in bad way! The whole place felt lived-in. It was kind of cozy. Unfortunately though I had an extremly wobbly chair and the whole meal I was kind of afraid that it would collapse at any moment. Luckily it didn't but that's something they should fix.
There are no printed menus here. Everything from food to drinks is written on the Chalkboard aganist the wall.
The first thing I noticed was the beer selection. Every beer except Pork Slap was from the Ommegang brewery. Ommegang makes all Belgain style beers which Mr. T & I love so we were really excited. Unfortunatly I had already had a bunch a "big" beers at Mashall Stack so I needed to put some food in me before having another one so I just ordered a Pork Slap while Mr. T got the Witte Beer.
There were wine glasses on all of the tables and when the waitress came over with our drinks she asked if I wanted my Pork Slap in the wine glass! I thought this was really funny! So I said sure- why not! And I have to tell you it was pretty damn good in that wine glass.
Well anyway, we were both starving so we decided to start with an order of Latkes and then get the burger and macaroni & cheese for our mains to share.
We placed our order and they brought over some bread and this.
This is hummus and olive oil together. Pretty untraditional but pretty awesome!
Then out came our Latkes.
These were enourmous. I was not expecting them to be so thick. Somehow the entire Latke stayed really crispy even though it was so large. I thought these were pretty good. I still enjoy Zum Schneider style of Potato Pancake the best but I would give these a close second.
Once we finished the latkes we were pretty full. As I said they were huge! But we still had tons more food coming. Offdah..Luckily we decided to split the rest.
The Macaroni and cheese was a generous portion of elbow Macaroni topped with three different cheeses and breadcrumbs.
The cheese was nice in that it kept some of it's stringyness so that when you pulled your fork away some would linger on the bowl.
Th best thing of the night though has to be the burger.
It came topped with Vermont White Cheddar cheese and raw onions atop a huge English Muffin. The juices were already starting to stream out onto the muffin before I even bite into it. This was super juicy and amazing!!!
The meat had that great salty char that every burger should have but rarely does. The chef came around and I asked him what kind of meat he used. He said it was 50% chuck and 50% brisket which is formed and then fried in butter.
Something about the way he said it just made it seem so bad. But hey a burger isn't healthy anyway so why not go all out! Yum!!! I was in love.
It came with a huge pile of fries that were similar to the fries I get at a local takeout cheesesteak place Ziggiz. The small ones were nice and crispy while the bigger ones were kind of limp. They were decent but could have been a little more uniform. All in all though a great burger.
We were so full we couldn't even come close to finishing the mac & cheese or the fries. We decided next time to either just get the Latkaes or just the burger. Both is way to much. The bill came and we were happy with the prices. Quite an affordable place.
The chef came over again before we left to make sure we liked everythng. I thought this was nice and he seemed to have a friendly rapport with our waitress which is always nice to see as well.
Seymour Burton is a great addition to the neighborhood. We will be back- maybe sooned than later. That burger is calling my name!!

If you ask me, God has a humongous sense of humor. I mean think about it, all of the situations that we find ourselves in that seem to spark introspection and give us a favorable outlook on life. We all find ourselves looking back on things thinking, "I am surely better by experiencing the thing I did not like at the time." Such was the case this morning when a random song on the music app Pandora left me pondering life, success, and even my connection to a local church.
Let me set the scene, one day a week I am away from the office where I spend the morning preparing my schedule, returning phone calls and just overall strategy sessions. I usually have music in the background as it … Click HERE to continue reading

The two leading online measurement companies are in court fighting over patent infringements, the Wall Street Journal reported.
"ComScore filed a counter suit against Nielsen Holdings and its Netratings division in a United States District Court alleging infringement of patent rights, comScore revealed in a regulatory filing on Tuesday. Nielsen is claiming that comScore violated its patent rights and filed a lawsuit on March 16 in a U.S. District Court.."
Both companies provide the numbers for online traffic that many use to determine success and growth numbers. The search engine market share, the time people spend at given websites and market share of online traffic for numerous industries are some of the important numbers both provide.
These numbers are used by investment analyists as well as those in the industries themselves to make future action decisions. "Their findings, considered the currency of Internet advertising, are used to set ad rates based on the number of people visiting a website," the Wall Street Journal noted.

Ultra Editors
this wiki
Inspired by Warhammer 40k...and actual events on this and the Ultra Fan Wiki. It will all make more sense if you're a regular of there...
Note: The following is a parody, no matter how serious it may take itself at times. Beware it may posses some gore, and some Meta nonsense. Viewer Discretion is advised...other than that enjoy.
Protectors of the Ultra Wiki Sector, they stand as guardians against the countless Vandals who would threaten its peace. Now they face their greatest threat, The Dead Army...
Appearance Edit
The standard of Ultra Editors is to wear blue and white power armor. Their armor is mostly cubic, with slight curves mainly the legs and the chest which concaves outward. Their helmets are retractable, with blue optics over their eyes and their faceplates bear grill like appearances. Their have disc shaped earpieces with cones which stick upward. They spot backpacks which have three thrusters cone at the bottom. The shoulder armor is layered, along with their elbow and knee armor. Underneath their main armor plating is a grey, thick body suit.
They generally stand tall enough to tower over most normal humans and are armed with blaster rifles.
Despite this, not all Editors wear this color scheme, as many chose to wear an appearance mimicing their Admins.
Individual Editors Edit
- C-6: Has gone undercover several times in the Otaku Marines for sabotage and/or assassination
- The Sentinel: A sharpshooter Editor
- CBeard: A captain Editor close to becoming an Admin.
- Grenburr: A captain known for taking Suicide Missions
- Lam: Pending.
- Lunar: A Lunar Sentinel, assigned to the mission.
- W-5-7: A medic studying the effects of Daorium poisoning.
Admins Edit
The Leaders and commanders of the Ultra Editors, the admins are their warriors paramount and each wears a unique armor which is mimicked by those under their command. What first separates each from a normal Editor is that they each have their own unique strain of Specium, resulting in their own unique powers granting them unique and power Web Powers.
List of Admins Edit
- SolZen: Current leader of the Editors. He is known also as the sun god or the Vengeful Sun. He personally leads the Dragon Slayers
- Akreious: The Laughing Void who leads the Joker Battalion
- Zombiejiger: The Admin who leads the Vanguards of Ammit.
- Diana: The Moonlit Sorceress, who leads the Lunar Sentinels.
- Amir: The White Death, who leads the Bone Hunters.
- Pending
Modifications Edit
All Editors are cyborgs. They have been augmented with Synthetic organs and cybernetic procedures. These have resulted in denser muscles, galvanized bones, resulting in superhuman strength, and synthetic organs to give them inhuman abilities such as resistance to radiation and all known poisons and enhanced senses. Their primary cybernetic augmentation is a series of circuits that help connect their nervous systems to their power armor.
Editors are also blessed with the Ultra Factor. Within them, is a special synthetic organ that generates Specium Energy, which when in their blood streams, enhances their strength, endurance and durability. It also grants them radiation resistance and the ability to disrupt/resist the Linkage of the Scourge. Finally it allows them to survive in space so long as they can hold their breath (which is a while). While not the real thing, it is still potent. This organ is the last to be implanted for good reasons.
Other Organs include, a backup heart and a secondary set of lungs to filter toxic fumes, a filter to sift out poisons from the blood stream and disable them and an organ that allows them to go into Hypersleep whenever gravely injured. A final organ also permits enhanced healing of wounds, starting with immediate blood clotting and regeneration powered by their Specium Energy.
Armaments Edit
- Power Suits: Their standard wear, they also help to enhance their strength. They have armor plating composed of Space Titanium and Fusion Cell reactors. They double as space suits and can survive great heat and extreme cold. They also have surprisingly great cargo space.
- Blaster Rifle: Standard armament with an Infrared scope. Despite the name, they fire Destronium filled rounds with depleted Plutonium tips. This gives each the destructive power akin to a grenade upon impact.
- Incendiary Blade: Common armament.
- 'Bleach': A term used for a now common potion carried by Editors. Upon ingestion it works to cleanse the mind of Daorium induced madness. It is, however, less effective on those that have already succumbed
- Plasma Casters: Heavy Siege weapons, they are massive weapons that require two hands to use. They are space age cannon attached to the augmented backpacks via a tube to fire dense balls of plasma that can scar the hull of a space ship.
- Heavy Repeater: Gatling gun version of Blaster Rifle.
- Disruptor Weapons: From guns to melee weapons such as Maces, Swords and Power Gloves.
- Hyperion Class Warships
- Infinity Class Carrier:
- Dagger Class Cruisers:
- Valkyrie Class Transports: Also double as Gunships
Squads Edit
- Assault Squads: Standard units of men, bearing standard armaments
- Destroys Squads: Sporting Plasma Casters or Heavy Repeaters they exist to inflict heavy damage or destroy entrenchments, buildings, defenses.
- Web Squads: Only seen in a few Chapters, these squads are mostly Web Power Users, or even entirely Web Users.
Editor Battle Positions Edit
These are not so much ranks as they are combat roles.
- Seekers: Noted for their grey armor, they take their orders directly from the Admins. Their job is to police and monitor other Users for signs of corruption. Their symbol is a blazing eye.
- Shadows: Mainly belonging to the Joker Battalion or aspirants. They generally prefer blades, such as knives or scythes, albeit Disruptor versions. They also use cloaking devices. Their goal is to sneak around the battlefield and take out important targets, or sabotage the enemy.
- Sentinels: Basically Snipers.
- Web Caster: One with developed Web Powers which they use in combat.
- Destroyers: Mainly use heavy weapons. They often end up as Bone Hunters or in the Vanguards of Ammit.
- Templars: Experts in sword combat, they seek glory in battle and strong foes. They are also known for being shock troopers, as they commonly use Shields and Incendiary Blades. Most end up as Dragon Slayers.
Aijihi Edit
The Patron Saint of the Editors (it's an inside joke).
A female warrior from the distant past, who is said to have harnessed the power of the Meme Gods and purified it. She manifested this as Holy Fire, which she used to banish scourge Lord Dao from a far off sector.

A legal guardianship arrangement occurs when a person is appointed to protect and make decisions for another, generally because the person is a minor or has become incapacitated. Legal guardianship documents can also take the form of a power-of-attorney document. There are several types of guardianship forms, tailored to meet specific needs. There are formal drafting requirements, along with judicial reviews (in some situations), to make sure the needs of the protected person are being met.
Types of Guardianships
Most states recognize three types of legal guardianships; temporary, limited and general, in addition to joint guardianships in limited circumstances. These allow a guardianship to be either narrow or broad in scope and duration. Regardless of the type of guardianship, the form (which is typically available from your local county or district courthouse) will require an identification of the ward (the person protected by the guardianship), the identification of the guardian and the length and purpose of the guardianship. Once it is completed, signed and typically notarized, the form may be filed in court.
Consent in Guardianships
When looking at guardianship of children, general and immediate guardianships typically do not require consent of the parents, as these are usually sought in cases of child abuse and neglect. For limited guardianships, parental consent is generally required, as these are voluntary agreements. Depending on the state, and the type of guardianship, there may be periodic judicial reviews and oversight to make sure the ward's interests and welfare are being protected.
Termination of Guardianships
Termination occurs when the reason for the guardianship expires (for instance, when a minor turns 18 years old), a successor guardian is appointed or a court terminates the guardianship. Successor guardian appointment and judicial termination require action by a court.
Powers of Attorney
A power of attorney is a form that appoints another (called the agent or attorney-in-fact) with decision power for the benefit of the principal or grantor. These arrangements allow the same transfer of power as a guardianship but do not generally require judicial approval. There are durable, general, limited and health care power-of-attorney formats. The form itself contains a statement by the current grantor naming the attorney-in-fact and indicating the time and duration of the powers transferred.
