text: I am a full time web designer and full time mom for my 2 baby girls and 23 chickens. I love being a mom and love being a website and graphics designer. When I started to sell my tasty organic eggs, I looked all over the internet and could not find quality labels available. If I did find any, they were very plain and very unattractive nothing I would ever buy to represent my eggs. So, I just decided to design my own professional-looking egg carton labels, and I'm now offering them to anyone who would like to use them for their eggs; to sell in a natural food store or at their local farmers market, or to give as gifts to close family and friends. All labels are completely customizable. Every aspect of the label can be personalized - fonts, colors, images, etc. You can use photos of actual chickens, farms, eggs, etc. You can find free clipart in Microsoft Word or on the internet (please, make sure it is free). Or, you can leave the customization up to me. The artwork, in the sample egg carton labels below, are also available at no extra charge. All colors, and anatomical parts, can be changed in these images to reflect a certain breed - feather color, eye color, leg color, egg color, comb and wattle size and shape, etc. Label graphics and text are guaranteed to be straight and aligned correctly. I will not accept crooked or offset labels, and you shouldn't either! If interested, please provide the following information: 1. Title (Curved or Straight; Color; Font; Location of Title) 2. Image (Rooster/Hen or Hen/Eggs or Your Own Image; Location of Image) 3. Additional Text (Font; Color; Location of Text) 4. Additional Specifications (There is no limit on Images or Text) Standard Labels are 3.5" x 5" (4 per sheet) and 3 1/3" x 4" (6 per sheet). Each matte sheet costs $1.25, with no minimum quantity, and I offer a flat rate of $4.75 (Priority 2-day) for shipping and handling anywhere in the United States. Full-color Labels - please add $2.00. You will have a chance to see a sample of your personalized label for approval, before production begins. And, you will receive a delivery confirmation number to track your order. Please send me a message if you are interested or if you have any questions (e-mail provided at the bottom of My BYC Page).

Solidly literate but gushy memoir from the actress known for her roles on Star Trek: Voyager and Orange Is the New Black.
Mulgrew recounts her rise from a bucolic Iowa upbringing to much-in-demand thespian on the New York stage to iconic TV roles on Ryan's Hope and Voyager. The memoir immediately sets itself apart from most other actors' life stories, as the author's prose can occasionally be self-consciously lapidary, the overall effect of which can alternate between stuffiness and evocative elegance. Unlike the Sisyphean plight of 99 percent of aspiring actors and actresses, Mulgrew's rise to prominence in the acting field in the 1970s seems comparatively less fraught. She studied with Stella Adler (who told her that it would "be so easy for you to take your eye off the prize and skate into Hollywood") in New York ;for a short time and performed in a few amateur productions. She then strode confidently into the office of a talent agent, and the rest was history. By her early 20s, Mulgrew had assumed the high-profile role of Mary Ryan on the much-beloved TV soap Ryan's Hope. But it was also around this time that she became pregnant with her first child; being young and wary of her burgeoning career, she gave her daughter up for adoption. It would prove to be a decision that would haunt her for years, even though she would go on to have other children. The author also plows methodically and somewhat coldly through the many romances and marriages that did not survive her busy career and mercurial lifestyle as a stage and TV actress. But while her career is reaching its peak with her portrayal of Capt. Kathryn Janeway on Voyager, she also closed an important and long chapter in her life when she was unexpectedly reunited with her adopted daughter.
Compellingly introspective and revealing, despite the tendency toward overwriting.

quartet dinner washington.(Photo by: Jonathan Ernst / Reuters)
EU statement shows split among diplomatic middlemen
By HERB KEINON
Analysis: Unlike Quartet, EU ministers emerged with a statement on the Middle East "peace process," but it was brief and rather anemic.
Last Monday,
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hosted a Washington dinner
for Quartet representatives which, after some two and a half hours, ended without the participants issuing any statement on how to move the diplomatic process forward.
But all was not lost, quipped Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov, who attended along with EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton, UN Secretary- General Ban Ki-moon and Quartet envoy Tony Blair: "The wine was good."
Quartet succumbed to Israeli pressure, PA says
Quartet envoys search for elusive peace talks formula
One of the reasons the Quartet was unable to issue a statement was because Lavrov reportedly objected to a formula whereby the Quartet would have endorsed renewing Israeli-Palestinian negotiations based on a return to the 1967 lines, with agreed upon swaps, and Palestinian recognition of Israel as a Jewish state.
Lavrov – reflecting Russia's desire to play to the Arab League – wasn't enamored of the Jewish state part of the equation.
And it wasn't only Lavrov.
According to Israeli officials, the EU's Ashton came to the meeting hoping to get the Quartet to call for a renewal of talks based on US President Barack Obama's parameters of the 1967 lines, with mutually agreed swaps, but without other language Obama used during his two Middle East speeches in May: language much more amenable to Israel that affirmed the country as a Jewish state and called for ironclad security arrangements before any future Israeli withdrawal.
What that Quartet dinner, and the lack of a statement following desert, showed was that there were considerable gaps not only between Israel and the Palestinians, but also between the Quartet members themselves regarding how to jumpstart the diplomatic process.
Fast-forward a week to Brussels,
and the 27 EU foreign ministers meeting Monday
for their monthly pow-wow.
Unlike the Quartet, they emerged with a statement on the Middle East "peace process," but it was brief and rather anemic.
In their conclusions on the Middle East peace process issued after the 3,106th Foreign Affairs Council meeting, the ministers stated that "The EU continues to believe that urgent progress is needed toward a two-state solution to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict. The EU reiterates its concern at the continuing stalemate in the Peace Process and calls on the parties to show the highest sense of responsibility and to resume direct and substantive talks.
"The EU stresses the central role of the Quartet and fully supports the High Representative [Ashton] in her continued efforts for the Quartet to create a credible perspective for the relaunching of the peace process.
"The EU has set out and will continue to promote actively its position with regard to parameters as contained in Council Conclusions of December 2009, December 2010 and May 2011."
And that's it.
One would have thought that with September and the PA bid at the UN fast approaching, the EU would have clearly stated the parameters it thought necessary for going back to talks; or make some kind of clear comment on the Palestinian gambit; or issue a statement a bit more dramatic than what was contained in these three mild paragraphs.
But just as the failure of the Quartet to issue a statement testified to its internal divisions, so too the rather pallid EU statement bore witness to divisions inside Europe regarding the process.
When 27 European foreign ministers sit together and pound out resolutions, resolutions that are to be reached by consensus, what emerges is generally the lowest common denominator, because only that is what they can all rally around. And the lowest common denominator the Europeans can agree upon right now regarding the diplomatic process is a resumption of negotiations toward a two-state solution.
Everyone – from Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic, Israel's strongest supporters in the body; to Ireland, Sweden and Portugal, the country's biggest detractors – can agree to that. But beyond that distinctly mom-and-apple-pie formulation, there is little else to which they can affix their stamp of approval.
There is no consensus on whether the parameters for the talks should be Obama's call for the 1967 lines and mutually agreed swaps, or whether that formula would also include Palestinian recognition of a Jewish state, and security issues.
While Ashton, according to Israeli sources, would be happy just with the Obama 1967 lines comments, others – the Germans, Czechs, Danes, Dutch, Italians, Romanians and Poles – want to see language that is also amenable to Israel, language addressing the Jewish state and security issues.
Ashton's position is, according to Israeli sources, supported by Spain, Portugal, Britain, Ireland, Belgium, Slovenia, Austria and Luxembourg, with France – according to Israeli officials – leaning in that direction, but not completely there yet.
Similar divisions exist on the Palestinian state issue at the UN, with a vote in the General Assembly on the matter likely to result in some EU countries voting for Israel, more voting for the Palestinians, and the majority abstaining.
That these divisions exist and are growing explains why Brussels issued a statement Monday that was – well – not exactly a definitive policy statement on the "Middle East peace process."

Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) Football Club is located in North London. The club is also known as Spurs. Tottenham's home ground is White Hart Lane. The club motto is Audere est Facere (To dare is to do).
20/1 on Spurs winning 2-1 at Old Trafford -
Click here for full odds with Sky Bet
Director of football David continues will his assessments of forthcoming games and now turns his attention to the challenge presented by the trip north to face Manchester United.
EVERYONE WILL HAVE been looking at Wednesday night's game against Maccabi Haifa to see if Manchester United revived their spirits and goals tally after a start to the season which has had their critics chuckling. A 5-2 outcome suggests they did.
Manchester United has become an institution over the years through their unparalleled success and ability to replace players accurately whenever they are 'moving over the top'.
The main thrust of the criticism has come from some supporters, who cannot equate the playing values of the likes of van Nistelrooy and Veron with the prices paid. It was, indeed, quite a shock when they decided to lay out so much money on individual players.
But, as I felt at the time, as a PLC and as a club - whose future is in their own hands - they make whatever choices they wish with their money. Nobody has criticised their spending policies before.
There is a new group of younger players now at United. Several of them are out on loan at the moment like Davies at Swindon, Webber at Watford and the outside left Djordic, who has temporarily gone back to Sweden. They also have players in place at their sister club in Belgium, Royal Antwerp.
I believe there is something of a new era dawning - O'Shea and now Stewart following Chadwick in getting their opportunity. Look out within the next two years for a young boy called Eagles, who comes from this area and was within a whisker of signing for Tottenham.
United's immediate task, of course, is to resurrect their fortunes with one or two good victories in the Premiership and therefore Saturday's game becomes a doubly hard task for us. Particularly if Veron and Butt are fully restored to health.
Beckham seemed to have difficulty with his longer diagonal balls in the game against Leeds United and Giggs, although sparkling in the first half, didn't maintain that form in the second.
When Beckham and Giggs are on form United take some stopping and, of course, this year much has been made of the fact that van Nistelrooy hasn't started in such prolific scoring form as last.
Our task will be to build on the confidence shown in the attacking play shown in the last few games.
Away from home it is always a more counter attacking style that has to be adopted because rarely, particularly with a young team, is a group good enough to control and monopolise possession of the ball for long periods.
Usually that comes from the home team and the strength of the away team has to be the resistance of the attacks and how quickly they can break out.
Since Simon Davies and Matthew Etherington have come in on our flanks, they have shown a progressive mentality in this respect.
All our supporters must be hoping that it is a tight game and we can get the breaks. It is always one of the more difficult games of the season until a team is an established top six side - when one can go to Manchester United and appear to perform off a level playing field.
However, United suffered six home defeats last season and one already in this. This does suggest they are fallible for the first time in many seasons?
Can we take advantage? It would be a massive coup for our club if we can pick up any reward there and give Glenn and the boys great hope for the coming games - Middlesbrough at home and Blackburn away.

I was so disenchanted by Stratford House Rehab Centre, it was such a nice place several years ago. My mom was placed here with a broken hip, and always needed assistance getting out of the bed. The staff never offered to transfer her from the bed to a chair. Her doctor explicitly put in her chart that she needed to be placed in a chair for at least two hours a day. The only time she was able to move from the bed was during her physical therapy. She requested several times to be moved from the bed to a chair, and the nurses always said they'd be there in a few minutes. I guess a few minutes to them is a few hours, because she was only helped from the bed to a chair twice by one of the nurses. She was there for two weeks prior to being moved to another facility. She would click the call bell for help to the bathroom, and the nurses would come in turn her bell off and tell her someone would be there shortly. Once she had sat in bed for ten to fifteen more minutes she'd ring the bell again and the same thing happened over and over. Sometimes they were over an hour assisting her to the bathroom, and it was often too late. She would ask for something to drink and was told we'll get it for you in a bit, and most of the time it was never served. I had to hire sitters to stay with her to be certain she got just basic needs met...the sitter would often wash her. I can understand sometimes places are short staffed, but this was just absolutely ridiculous. The staff many times were just laughing and telling jokes in the halls ignoring patient's bells. It was totally unbelievable to me. I think for the cost of a rehab center a family shouldn't need to hire around the clock sitters just to be certain their loved ones' basic needs are met. It's quite sad, I highly recommend no-one send a loved one there without visiting the place first. You'll be shocked at what you see...it's pretty depressing.

I am a friend or relative of a resident
The rehab facility where my wife is at is called The Stratford Rehabilitation Center. My wife has been pleased with it and I have been satisfied with it. They have been most accommodating. My wife has gotten a lot of therapy there. The therapy has just been most helpful, both physical and occupational. Although it is an older site, and it needs to be rehabilitated in my opinion, but I have no complaints about it. My wife was sick when she went there, and they accommodated her very well, serving her needs. With the staff that they have, I have no complaints about them whatsoever. They attempt to respond to emergency calls, and I have seen that not only with my wife but with others as well. So I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and their services.

TRENTON, Nov. 18 - Acting Gov. Richard J. Codey's plan to revitalize the sports complex in the New Jersey Meadowlands has raised questions about the future of the huge shopping and entertainment development that former Gov. James E. McGreevey's administration approved for the site.
The $1.3 billion development project, called Meadowlands Xanadu, has been under attack by environmentalists and local opponents who contend that it will be little more than a big shopping mall. The main developer, which has promoted similar projects around the nation as "shoppertainment," won approval for the project from the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority earlier this fall.
The project has significant support from important political figures, including United States Representative Robert Menendez and former State Senator John Lynch. At the groundbreaking Oct. 5, Mr. McGreevey spoke effusively about the entertainment and shopping "destination" that he said would bring crowds back to the site of the sagging sports complex.
But while Mr. McGreevey wanted the state to get out of the sports business, Mr. Codey wants to resuscitate it, using state money if necessary. Mr. Codey, who became acting governor on Tuesday, has asked the chairman of the sports authority, Carl Goldberg, to review the plan for the sports complex site. Mr. Codey "wants to be thoroughly debriefed within the next couple weeks," Mr. Goldberg said.
As for the Xanadu development team, the Mills Corporation and the Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, Mr. Goldberg said: "There are significant agreements in place, but that doesn't mean the land plan can't be refined going forward. If we have to go back to Mills and Mack-Cali and request some modifications to their land plan in order to accommodate what Governor Codey wants over the years, we will."Continue reading the main story
The sports complex includes Giants Stadium, where the New York Giants, the New York Jets and the MetroStars soccer team play, the Meadowlands Racetrack and the Continental Airlines Arena, shared by the New Jersey Nets and the New Jersey Devils. Of the five sports teams, four have proposed new homes: the Jets in a stadium on the West Side of Manhattan, the Nets in Brooklyn, the Devils in an arena in Newark and the MetroStars in Harrison, N.J.
What the sports-friendly Mr. Codey wants is a new stadium for the Giants, a separate arena for the MetroStars and video slot machines at the racetrack. He also wants to keep the Jets and the Nets. But some sports industry experts and environmental advocates say that the 400-acre site cannot accommodate all that and Xanadu, with 5 million square feet of retail, entertainment and office space.
The state chapter of the Sierra Club has sued the sports authority over Xanadu, arguing that the state failed to conduct the required environmental impact studies. Jeff Tittel, the club president, said the project would bring 100,000 to 125,000 additional cars a day. If the sports complex is expanded as well, he said, "it's going to burst at the seams."
Michael Rowe, a sports industry consultant who is advising Mr. Codey on the sports complex, said, "I think everything is in play."
"To say we want to de-emphasize sports and look at making it a retail-entertainment-office-housing-sports complex, I believe he has earned the right to double-check whether that's the solution to what the Meadowlands needs to be in the 2000's," Mr. Rowe said.
Still, the site preparation for Xanadu is under way and the developers need just one more approval, from the Army Corps of Engineers.
"We've got our state permits and a contract with the state, and are looking forward to building this project," said Robert Sommer, a spokesman for Mills and Mack-Cali. "The new governor has lot of exciting proposals that would potentially enhance Meadowlands Xanadu."
George Zoffinger, the sports authority president, also says the projects are compatible. "We feel pretty strongly that the Xanadu project works well with the site," Mr. Zoffinger said. "It's going to take planning. It's going to take creativity. But I'm very pleased that the governor realized we have real opportunities here."
Officials of at least some of the teams now at the Meadowlands are not so sure. The Giants, Jets and Devils all sent letters in recent weeks to the sports authority expressing concerns over how Xanadu would affect parking and traffic for their fans. The parking is a special concern to the football teams because garage parking is slower to empty out than surface parking, and makes tailgating all but impossible.
The Giants have been negotiating with the sports authority for several years, reaching an agreement last year for a $375 million renovation of the 28-year-old stadium when what the team really wanted was a new stadium. While Mr. Zoffinger has a history of friction with the team management, Mr. Codey's statement last week that he favored a new stadium clearly encouraged the Giants.
"I think that Richard Codey has expressed to us that he wants to make a deal with us, and we're very optimistic that we will be able to accomplish that," said John Mara, the Giants' executive vice president and chief operating officer.
Mr. Mara said his team was conducting its own review of Xanadu's effects. "We're working with them to make sure it's possible to coexist," he said. "I'm not sure that it is, but we're keeping an open mind."
Lou Lamoriello, the Devils' chief executive and general manager, said, "It's about how our fans will be affected when they come to the game, whether it has to do with parking, or egress or entrance."
Mr. Lamoriello continued, "From what I can tell, none of the teams have been satisfied to the point where they're comfortable."
Mr. Codey, while declining to discuss the Xanadu project, said in an interview that he was committed to improving relations with the teams. If the Jets, Nets and Devils leave, Mr. Codey said, "that leaves what is now an old football stadium but a good one, and a racetrack that like all other racetracks every year loses attendance."
He said he wanted to keep the complex's position as the premier sports center in the New York region. "It should still be a mecca for sports," not a center in decline, he said. Mr. Codey also voiced doubts about New York's succeeding in luring the Nets and Jets, despite Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's fervent campaigning. "There's only so much Bloomberg can spend on sports teams," he said.
The courting of sports teams is also an issue with New Jersey voters, however. Polls have shown that most supported Mr. McGreevey's refusal to spend any state money on the teams, and efforts to build an arena in Newark, which is to be financed by the Devils and the city, have barely moved in three years.
But Mr. Rowe said polls also showed that New Jersey residents are enthusiastic about the sports complex. "When New Jerseyans were polled in the 1980's about what they were most proud of in New Jersey, they listed the Meadowlands as the top thing," he said. "They were proud for the Meadowlands to be hosting in excess of seven or eight million people a year, and to have five professional sports teams."Continue reading the main story

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz stopped by Tampa last week while Republicans were holding their convention. How could she resist?
It was in Florida, after all, said the congresswoman, who for the past 16 months has also headed up the Democratic National Committee, and who will figure prominently in her own party's convention in Charlotte, N.C. this week.
"I was proud to roll out a little blue carpet for my friends in Tampa and welcome them to my home state," said Wasserman Schultz, whose district sits between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. "It was really important, because there was so much at stake in this election, to draw the really clear contrast and show voters the choice that they have."
Republicans just couldn't ignore her. "The only hitch in an otherwise perfect week was the awful noise coming from the hotel room next door to mine," former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee told the crowd gathered Wednesday night at the GOP convention. "Turns out it was just Debbie Wasserman Schultz practicing her speech for the DNC in Charlotte next week. Bless her heart."
The job has given her "alligator skin," said Wasserman Schultz, 45, who campaigned across the country in 2008 for then-Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign even as she battled breast cancer.
Her polarizing style as one of President Barack Obama's chief surrogates hasn't been for everyone, though, including some Democrats. An electronic book on the election put out by Politico last month reported that some inside the Obama campaign questioned Wasserman Schultz's effectiveness after a consultant's focus group ranked her last in popularity among the surrogates stumping on the president's behalf.
She also got into an on-air spat last month with CNN's Anderson Cooper, who challenged whether she was being truthful when she used selective pieces of a Los Angeles Times article to characterize Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's stance on abortion in a fundraising appeal. Conservative media outlets seized on both the spat and the Politico imbroglio as a sign of diminishing clout.
She shrugs it off — although not before calling the Politico book "anonymous baloney" and pointing out that she's been a fixture of the Sunday talk shows nearly every week for the past two months. Getting a little dinged up in the rough-and-tumble political fray comes with the job the president asked her to do, Wasserman Schultz said.
"I signed up to be the head of the Democratic National Committee," she said. "It's in the job description. I'm not supposed to be the neutral, bland, you-don't know-where-she-stands surrogate. I'm the one that's the political voice for the president. That's something I'm incredibly proud of."
Her aim in Tampa, Wasserman Schultz said, was to talk about Obama's accomplishments for the working class and for families, women, and immigrants.
"But also to talk about how harmful Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan's politics would be for those same groups," she said. "That we shouldn't go back to the failed policies of the past that nearly crashed our economy and got us into the worst economic crisis we've faced since the Depression."
In Charlotte, her role will be more as standard bearer and cheerleader for the Democratic base. And expect to hear plenty about what a second Obama administration would tackle, if he is re-elected, Wasserman Schultz said.
"Essentially their entire convention was an attack on President Obama rather than touting what Mitt Romney would do for this country," she said of Republicans.
The Democratic convention, she said, will focus on events and speakers "that will highlight the priorities that President Obama has talked about, which include making sure that if you work hard and play by the rules that you can have an opportunity to be successful."
"Which includes that we should make sure that we build an economy that is meant to last and that we build from the middle class out and the bottom up and not the top down," she said. "And that we make sure when it comes to the kind of investments we need to make and the deficit reduction we need to focus on, that we do those in a balanced way."
Beyond the talking points and the internal campaign squabbles, though there's no question her time as DNC chairwoman has increased her national influence and stature. She's no longer just a congresswoman from South Florida, a shift that Wasserman Schultz has said she believes actually makes her a better congresswoman from South Florida. .
"The important thing and the main reason I was comfortable saying yes -- aside from the fact that when the president asks you to do anything you say yes -- is that being on a broader stage has given me more reach, has given me more ability to impact and help my constituents," she said. "Because I'm more influential and more high profile now, it makes me a more effective representative for my constituents. And that's what it's all about. My first professional responsibility is being the representative from the 20th District."
Wasserman Schultz said she said she's been staying grounded by spending as much time as possible with her three children, Rebecca, Jake and Shelby. That includes trying to make it to as many of their ball games in Weston when possible.
There's one other thing. Like House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who's well known for her penchant for dark chocolate, Wasserman Schultz has her own vice. It's a daily Frappucino from Starbucks. The baristas at her local Starbucks in Weston Commons know it as her drink.
"If someone goes in and orders it for me, they actually say: 'Is that for Debbie?'" she said.
It might take more than one Frappucino a day to get through the next week. The congresswoman is booked solid, with a speaking role at the convention itself and dozens of speeches in front of various state delegations and caucuses.
And higher profile aside, Wasserman Schultz declines to speculate on what's next. There's been some speculation she might make a bid for Florida governor — another tough fight. Depending on the outcome of the election, there's also likely a greater leadership role for her in the House of Representatives.
"For me next is hopefully being re-elected to represent the constituents of the 20th Congressional District of Florida," she said. "That's what I'm focused on for the next 65 days, and re-electing Barack Obama to president of the United States. Past that, I haven't even thought about it."

Searching for Sugar Man director committed suicide
Searching for Sugar Man director Malik Bendjelloul killed himself, his brother confirmed.
Academy Award-winning director Malik Bendjelloul committed suicide, his brother confirmed to Swedish media.
The Searching for Sugar Man creator suffered from depression and chose to end his own life.
"I can confirm that it was suicide and that he had been depressed for a short period of time," his brother Johar Bendjelloul told Aftonbladet. "Life is not always so easy... It's the worst. I don't know how to handle it."
Bendjelloul was found dead in Stockholm last week. Police would not confirm where his body was located or a suspected cause of death, and his brother provided no further details.
The acclaimed director won multiple awards for his documentary detailing the quest to find out if American musician Sixto Rodriguez was alive or dead, including an Oscar for Best Documentary in 2013, a BAFTA, Director's Guild of America Award, Producer's Guild of America Award, Writer's Guild of America Award and the Sundance Audience Award.
Death of Julia Roberts' sister ruled a suicide >>
Rodriguez, who experienced a career resurgence as result of the film, told Billboard the death was a "shock.
"He was a very talented man and hard-working artist — he proved it by hitting an Academy Award his first time out," the singer and songwriter said. "My deepest condolences to his family. Rest in peace."
Sony Pictures Classics, who distributed Searching for Sugar Man, released a statement calling the director a "genuine" artist.
"Much like Rodriguez himself, Malik was a genuine person who chased the world for stories to tell," it said in a statement.
"He didn't chase fame, fortune or awards, although those accolades still found him as many others recognized his storytelling."
Fellow documentary director Michael Moore tweeted his sorrow.
Bendjelloul was just 36 years old.

Randy RhoadsFound on pinimg.com
Randall William "Randy" Rhoads was an American heavy metal guitarist who played with Ozzy Osbourne and Quiet Riot. He was killed in a plane crash.
Well I have been playing too many years to count and there is no doubt Randy was the best. Playing guitar was just too easy for this guy.
Randy's work was outstanding. I think he was the most naturally gifted guitarist rock music has ever known. Such classical beauty and yet such awesome power in his playing. He played for the shortest time, being on hardly any albums and his stuff is hard to get hold of. But what we have is enough to have shocked the rock music world with his incredible playing. He was just as good as Eddie Van Halen when it came to rock, but he had more heart, emotion and versatility in his playing. He's even better live than on record. No-one's ever played like him or been better than him. And someone once said that he's the only guy ever to eclipse Ozzy Osbourne during Live shows. Considering Ozzy is regarded as one of the most exciting rock performers ever, that speaks volumes. This man gets my vote!
No one can play as good as this man
Crazy train, dee, diary of a madman, mr. Crowley, revelation, I don't know, suicide solution, flying high again, over the mountain and laughing gas, all songs that showed so little of so much that randy rhoads had to offer to the music world, his playing and his good kind spirit lives on on the blizzard of ozz and diary of a madman records, on randy rhoads tribute, quiet riot the randy rhoads years and quiet riot 1 and 2, and on in us when ever we play any song that he has written and when we do good, may the electric angel rest in peace. RIP RANDALL WILLIAM RHOADS
Randy rhoads was the pioneer of neoclassical "METAL" and has inspired so many of the greats for instance Dimebag or Zakk Wylde Tom morello even Steve vai. I think that he should be number 1 or at least number 2 because I'm not going to go around saying look what he could have done but what he has done is ground breaking. For instance mr. Crowley is so classically written with all it's trills and legato runs and lightning speed it's just fantastic and in my opinion is better than Jimi Hendrix but that's my opinion and look at revelation it's swell complete. Y classical I don't even have to say how and also he was very versatile just look at goodbye to romance it wasn't all about shred there and he played awesome blues. So all I'm saying is for doing so much in such little time I think that he should be much higher than where he is right now cause come on he's really behind richie samora
Everything that he played I consider the best that I have ever heard. He was taken from us far too soon, and yet in only around 2 years he left more of an impression than most guitarists have in their whole career. He was a true virtuoso. He had talent, charisma, originality, speed, and could write a composition like no other. He played things that no one has ever done before him, and can't be matched. Behind his powerful, fierce guitar playing, he was a shy, sweet person who loved music and his guitar. So much respect for this legendary player.
Billie Joe Armstrong over Randy? People are complete idiots... Randy had everything. He revolutionized neoclassical playing, he had a huge impact for the time he had been around (see what Zakk Wylde or Dimebag Darrell have said about him) and most importantly he played with emotion. Hell, I feel every note in every solo that he played.
He died young and I wonder how his playing would have improved after 20 more years. Thanks to his musical talent and his passion for it (talent is worth nothing without passion) Ozzy's first solo albums became calssics and masterpieces. I doubt they would've been that successful if someone else played there. There's that story, from Ozzys autobiography - he had a melody in mind, but as a non-instrumentalist, he couldn't get it down. Randy got it out of him and they created a masterpiece (though I forgot which of the many masterpieces it was). Not many guitarists (or instrumentalists in general) can get the melody out of the heads of OTHER people (moreover people like Ozzy Osbourne). To me, Randy is the definition or talent, passion and years of practise.
I don't know what is wrong with people randy should be at the top of the list at #1! He is the best guitarist that ever lived if only his life wasn't cut short, it seems like no one even acknowledges (sorry for my spelling) him, if you don't think he is the best then listen to Mr. Crowley, flying high again, goodbye to romance, his days in quiet riot, dee, the solo on the tribute album on suicide solution, they are all amazing and by far beat everyone else, he knew the guitar like no other and could do anything, and he was only 25 when he died, it's a shame that he doesn't get the respect he deserves...R.I.P. the Best Guitarist that ever lived... Randy Rhoads
Randy Rhoads was by far one of the greatest guitarists of all time, he would have been better then any of these other guys on top of him on this list, imagine how good he could have been and still was at his young age. So vote for randy, he at least deserves a spot on the top 10. - ledzeppelin
Randy's turning over in his grave right now because he isn't in the top 10. There is no reason why he shouldn't be. He is the greatest metal guitarist of all time, end of story. It is a shame his life and career ended so early, and its also a shame that he isn't higher in this list, where he belongs.
This is the man who helped revive Ozzy Osbourne's career, bringing a unique brand of metal into the mainstream. He was right up there with Eddie Van Halen, but the thing about Randy is that he was so young when he died. Imagine what he could've done if he hadn't died that fateful day in 1982. Without Randy, there wouldn't be many of the people on this list.R.I.P.
Come on guys you kidding me? This guy should be at least at top 5! He succeed making him self to one of the most talented and greatest guitarists of all time by playing for only 2 years with Ozzy! He putted Ozzy at the top by making Blizzard and Diary and he inspired a lot of guitarists all over the world. He influenced all the neo-classical metal guitarists!
Randy IS Rock - if you look up guitar Rock star in the dictionary his picture would be there. His solos are unmatched - purely genius. If only he was with us longer... imagine how many more solos we would have been able to enjoy. RIP Randy - you ARE the best
Randy Rhoads had a life shorter than most guitarist, and in that time, he made managed to surpass nearly every living guitarist, and many, many before him, he wasn't just a man of the past, he is a man of the future, I will never forget who he was and how hard he could rock, he started classical guitar at a young age of ~6 and played classical only for 7 years, a man who understand what makes the guitar what it is
Not one mention of the person who saved Ozzy Osbourne's career. What a shame because Randy Rhoads is an amazing guitar player and if it weren't for his early tragic death, I'm sure he'd get more recognition. Some songs to get you started: Mr. Crowley, Crazy Train, No Bone Movies, Dee, and Over The Mountain
Randy Rhoads was the greatest guyitarest out there listen to Dee or the solo from suicide solution on the tribute album or the solo from his years with quiet riot he was playing guitar when he was a kid and actually found a way to blend classical and rock (metal) I have been playing for quite a few years but it still takes me a lot of time and practice to play some of the guitar licks he created.
The only reason that I can imagine that Randy Rhoads is so far down on this list would be because he died so very young and people just haven't heard his music. If you ask anyone that has ever had the pleasure of playing with Randy, they will all tell you that he was one of the most talented guitar players that lived.
People think Randy copied Eddie or Eddie is just better. The truth is, Randy did most of his things around 76 and that's before Eddie made a record. So, I don't think he copied him. Randy is absolutely inspiring and amazing. Ozzy wouldn't have been NEARLY as good if Randy wasn't there. Definitely deserves higher.
Whoever didn't vote for Randy are not guitar players, and don't understand music in the slightest. Ask all the top rock guitarists today who inspired them... Randy! Ask some old school shredders, and they all praise Randy, and still can't figure out some of the stuff he did. Pure genius.
Randy is just the best guitarist ever he was only 25 he died even younger than Jimi Hendrix and he is considered the best by a lot of musicians.
He never tried to imitate others and he was such a very good guy didn't use drugs and he only would care about improving his music. He will be forever young...
I understand that everybody has his own musical tastes, for me he is the best by far, but for the people who would disagree, he must be at least in top 10 without a doubt
This is idiocy. If it wasn't for Randy Rhoads and Ozzy Osbourne, we would not have metal. I find it insulting that he isn't number 1. He could compose guitar music perfectly, and he never held back when soloing. He's way better than slash.
Really, Randy Rhoads? 32? I'll admit, he's not the greatest, but for the love of God, he's way better than both Slash, Zakk Wylde, and hell even Jimi! Slash, well, quite frankly isn't that good. Zakk is good, but he's no Randy. Jimi's all show, Randy deserves to be higher up.
I don't understand why rhoads isn't at least in your top 5.. He is the only guitarist I have ever heard.. That can make blistering solos sound as smooth as if he were playing slow rhythms.. And also the only one I've heard that coud match his studio recordings in concert.. Note for note.. Best ever in my opinion
This guy could shred or not if he chose to, he was the greatest guitarist I've ever heard. Not many players have that ability, and his technical skills were leaps above anyone at that time or now. It would be amazing to hear what he'd create today. Randy was a modern day Mozart.

Fast growth is in ZeOmega's DNA. Now, with the Affordable Care Act in effect, the Frisco-based company is predicting the growth could accelerate even more.
Co-founded by husband and wife Sathya and Nandini Rangaswamy, ZeOmega developed a Web-based health management platform called Jiva. It's used by insurance companies and healthcare providers to improve care and reduce costs. (Jiva means "life" in Sanskrit.) The software can identify gaps in patient care, for example, and provide management of chronic conditions such as diabetes.
"We see a huge potential due to the ACA passage," says Nandini Rangaswamy, the company's chief strategy officer. "Even if the law changes its form, it still doesn't change the prognosis of ZeOmega. The idea of accountability has taken hold."
CEO "Sam" Rangaswamy says the company calls its offering "population care management, because it casts a wide net across the population"—including oversight of healthy consumers.
The company, founded in 2001, released its software in 2003. It got its first big break in 2005 with an angel investment, and in 2011 it received a Series A investment of an undisclosed amount from BlueCross BlueShield Venture Partners LP and Sandbox Industries. Last year it closed a $21.5 million Series B private equity investment led by Bregal Sagemount.
Today ZeOmega has 450 employees, about 140 of them in Frisco and others in Bangalore, India, where it does product development.
Last year, ZeOmega was No. 308 on Deloitte's 2013 Technology Fast 500, in recognition of a 278 percent growth in revenue between 2008-2012. It also made the prestigious Inc. 500|5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies, ranking No. 1,678 nationally with 232 percent revenue growth over a three-year period.
ZeOmega's hyper-growth has presented both challenges and opportunities. The latest funding round enabled the company to hire a CFO, a role that Nandini had filled until January. She's now able to step back from daily financial oversight to focus on her goal of making the business "a $100 million company in a few years."
This story was originally published in the April issue of D CEO.

Developed by Microsoft, SharePoint is an application framework and platform produced to store, organise and share information from any mobile device. It is a tool that helps companies organise data more efficiently to save time and effort as well as aiding employee collaboration.
Why do we need to Train in SharePoint?
Users of SharePoint in theory, don't need training to use the actual platform, but form a business perspective using SharePoint and utilising SharePoint have two extremely different outcomes.
Knowing the underlying functions of a system like SharePoint is not the same as knowing how to use it for simple tasks.
If you think of a Microsoft Office product such as Excel for example, to some it is a basic spreadsheet. However, there are multitude of facets available you just have to be shown how to use them. Most people are aware of how to insert data into each column, some even know how to delete or insert columns, but you can also convert information from a table into a chart or graph, you can include a formula to save time when totalling a column or row. Unless you click on the drop down menus most of what Excel can do is hidden.
SharePoint is similar in that it hides many of its functions in myriad menus.
In order to be able to utilise SharePoint to get the maximum benefits, regular training is required. By doing this all SharePoint users within a business are facilitating SharePoint's potential, which in turn means they are contributing to the overall business.
The reason that this should be done periodically is because, as with most technology, things change. A lot of companies are upgrading from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 so there are always new things to learn. Check these guys out if you need any help with training http://www.evokeit.com/services/sharepoint-training/
Especially considering there could be some small glitches to iron out when using older Office suites.
What are the effect Training Methods use to Learn SharePoint?
There are so many resources available out there in many different formats; from books, to videos, instructions documents to instructor-led training there really is no reason to be left in the dark. On top of that if you are worried about financial expenditure, there is an entire SharePoint Community out there more than willing to share their insights for free.

One of the consequences of the recession is that more people are considering their finances, and, in many cases, deciding that it is a good idea to get out of debt. And to never use debt again. Living a life completely without might be a noble idea, but is it practical? In a lot of ways, living so that you never have debt at all is impractical.
Making Big Purchases
One of the biggest reasons that it is difficult to live a life that is completely debt free has to do with large purchases. There is a compelling argument as to why you can pay for a car entirely with cash, and no need to get a loan. After all, it is possible to find cars for less than $10,000. Even cards more expensive than that can be saved up for within a couple of years. Some purchases, though, are just too big.
Consider a home. How many people have $180,000 just sitting around? Saving up to buy a home with cash is likely to take decades, rather than mere years. Of course, if you prefer renting (and many people do), there is no need to go into debt for your housing. If you aren't planning on buying a home, and you can save up for a car or use public transportation, living a debt free live really does become more practical.
Another issue is education. The cost of a college education continues to rise to almost prohibitive. Scholarships are scarce, and it can be difficult for students to hold down the kind of job that will pay their college costs. Of course, starting early and saving for college can help with this problem, creating a situation in which it is possible for college expenses to be covered by what has been saved up. The situation, though, can become complicated if you have more than one child. Saving up for three children may not as feasible as saving up for only one.
It is possible, with a great deal of planning, to live completely debt free. However, it may means giving some things up. For many people, it is worth the trade off to pay interest if it allows them to buy a home, get a car a little sooner, or send their kids to college.
What About Your Credit Score?
The other issue, of course, is that of building credit. Our society has become quite dependent on credit scoring and credit history. Without debt, it is very difficult to build up a credit history. But, if you plan to live completely debt free, never borrowing, does it matter if you can't get a loan or a good rate on a loan? While it may not matter in terms of borrowing, it is important to realize that your credit history influences insurance rates, security deposits, whether or not a landlord will rent to you, and can even affect whether or not you get a job.
There are alternative measures of credit worthiness that include rent payments and utility payments, but you usually have to convince someone to report those positive actions, and the insurance company may not actually use the alternative scoring model when making its decision.
In the end, it's all about what works best in your situation. Many find, though, that it is more practical to obtain debt they can handle, and then pay it off as quickly as possible, in order to allow them a little more flexibility in today's financial world.

Canary in the Moore Appeal?
Does the House candidacy of Roy Moore's lawyer presage a presidential run by the Republican Nader?
Phillip Jauregui, attorney to Roy Moore—the Alabama Supreme Court chief justice fired for refusing to remove a Ten Commandments monument from his courtroom—has decided to challenge U.S. Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Ala., in the June 1 primary. When Chatterbox learned this, his first thought was, "No, no, no, no, no! Jauregui isn't supposed to seek elective office; Moore is. Can't these people get anything straight?"
There's been talk in recent months that Moore will launch a third-party presidential candidacy for 2004. Moore has coyly declined to state his intentions, and Chatterbox is getting impatient. The idea—Chatterbox's, not Moore's—is that Moore will become the Republican Ralph Nader, which is to say that he will take enough Christian Right votes away from President Bush to put John Kerry in the White House. (Nader, it should be noted, thinks this time out that he's the Republican Ralph Nader—i.e., that he will take votes away from Republicans and independents but not Democrats. But Chatterbox doesn't know anyone else who believes this, and anyway Kerry will need every independent he can get.)
Time is running short. The U.S. Constitution Party, Moore's likeliest vehicle, will formally select its presidential nominee on June 25, and there's a presumptive nominee to dispose of. How about it, Mr. Chief Justice?
Moore is waiting for the Alabama Supreme Court to rule on his appeal; the decision could come any time. Indeed, it was supposed to arrive weeks ago. Moore will surely lose. Should that occur, Moore told Chatterbox last month, he will consider an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. But Moore would surely lose that, too. Better to get the Decalogue dialogue before the American public by running for president, no?
But, wait. Jauregui is handling the appeal. If this case were headed for the Rehnquist Court, would an ambitious young lawyer bail now? Of course not! If Jauregui's making other plans, might not that be a sign that Moore is making other plans, too? And just doesn't want to make it official until the Alabama Supreme Court hands down its decision?

The last few weeks have seen some heated debate over the advantages and disadvantages of agile and lean practices for creating great user experiences.
My perspective in these discussions comes from managing a number of software products and software development groups through the transition from waterfall to agile approaches. In these roles I created and owned the product concept and was responsible for its realisation in the delivered product. I found this much easier to do in agile rather than waterfall projects.
Earlier integration and test helps create better user experiences
I have seen several large waterfall projects crash and burn because components were integrated and tested far too late. By the time serious problems were found the release deadline was looming, most of the budget had already been spent and the people needed to resolve the problem had moved to other projects or even left the company.
The imperative on agile projects to "deliver working software frequently" should drive them towards frequent (continuous?) integration and test. Access to this early working software gives the UX specialists on the team the chance to inject some 'undercover' or 'guerrilla' user testing. This will expose usability and usefulness issues before they grow too big and while there is still the time and resource to do something about them.
Lean development practices make this even more explicit by focusing on creating and rapidly testing a minimum viable product (MVP).
I also found this early integration really valuable in creating a consistent interaction style and visual style across a large product, as components produced in early iterations could act as exemplars for later components.
To really drive this home UX specialists in agile teams should push to get basic user testing included in their team's 'definition of done' and push to get the most challenging user journeys built in early iterations.
Self-contained teams produce better products faster
For me, the second great benefit of an agile approach is having a self-contained team with all the skills needed to create the product and the authority to make its own decisions. This saves so much time and avoids so much frustration.
Many years ago I worked in an organisation that had separate teams of testers, developers, architects, product managers, analysts, writers, etc., with all the delays, back-biting and brick-throwing that you might expect. Bringing all these people together into agile teams has been painful, but ultimately incredibly rewarding. And bringing UX people into the mix is painful, but can bring the same rewards.
So UX specialists should join multi-disciplinary teams centred on products rather than try to stay on the outside.
The product roadmap provides the big picture
Common complaints about agile are the poor quality of the incoming stories or use cases, and the lack of a clear vision to tie them all together. In most of my jobs I was lucky enough to be able to maintain a longer-term roadmap for my products. And I saw the benefits this had for projects.
The product roadmap set out a clear vision for each new product or release. What it would provide to the business and to our customers, what it would contain, what design principles would guide it, etc. So when it came to building a new feature, while there was still detailed design work to do, the purpose of the feature was clear and its place in the big picture was clear.
The roadmap also helped to drive through broad improvements to usability, performance, reliability, etc. If all you have is a backlog of functionality-focussed stories, important but longer-term work too often gets squeezed out.
Lean development practices can also help as they put a clear product vision at the heart of the process. They also encourage teams to tease out the assumptions that support the product vision and construct tests that prove or disprove those assumptions.
So UX specialists should push their way into the product planning process, or push to create one if none exists. This is where you get to do your customer research and concept design, and where you get to create the big picture that carries through the project.
Agile does not mean 'no documentation'
The Agile Manifesto states that "we have come to value … Working software over comprehensive documentation." I heartily agree with this. When you are creating a software product or system, documentation is a means to an end. And working software is that end.
But somehow, for some teams, this has been warped into no documentation, no specifications, just code. As well as leading to the lack of a big picture that I described earlier, this also cuts the legs out from under the UX people on the team. As Hannah Donovan said, our superpower is visual storytelling. If we can't draw concepts, personas, storyboards, etc., then how do we 'talk' to the rest of the team?
UX specialists should not expect the rest of the team to wait while they create a complete and comprehensive specification of every aspect of the design. But they can and should work with other members of the team to produce simple stories and sketches that communicate both the big picture for the product and the more detailed design of specific components.
A good way to think about this is the transition from always using a language like UML to create a complete specification of a software product before building anything, to using UML as a sketching language to help team-members communicate their design ideas, while they are building a product.
Understanding the UML as Sketch idea is a good way to understand and explain how UX outputs can fit into an agile project, and how UX specialists can make them into bite-sized chunks.
I know that it's possible for UX and agile to work well together. But you need the right conditions:
- UX specialists are part of the agile team
- The team has a clear product vision rooted in a real understanding of the customer
- UX specialists create stories and interface sketches in collaboration with other team members
- It's not 'done' till you've tried it out with real users
While this is a personal take on agile and UX rooted in my own experience rather than any research, conversations with Johanna Kollmann and others from Agile UX Meetup suggest that I'm not completely wrong.

PHILADELPHIA - January 15, 2013 --A federal jury is entering its sixth day of deliberations in the racketeering trial of the reputed boss of the Philadelphia mob and six others.
On Monday, jurors asked to listen to more secretly recorded tapes of the defendants. Deliberations are expected to resume Tuesday.
Seventy-three-year-old Joseph "Uncle Joe" Ligambi could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted of all charges. Prosecutors say he's run La Cosa Nostra in the Philadelphia area since 1999.
The defendants are accused of strong-arming rivals to take over the operation of lucrative video poker machines in bars and clubs. They're also charged with taking sports bets, loaning out money on the street at high rates of interest, and threatening people over their payments.
Defense attorneys call the charges overblown.

If you really want to stir things up, try telling New Yorkers where to get good pizza in town. Their loyalty to homegrown pizzerias is akin to Yankee/Mets -- even Dodger -- devotion. In much of the Northeast, pizzerias are second- or third-generation eateries using secret family recipes for the sauce and the dough. After all, pizza started its trek across the United States from New York a century ago.
What's makes a great pie and why is there so much variation? Skill, fresh ingredients and the type of oven are paramount. The oven, be it coal-fired brick or wood-burning, is critical to the taste of a great pizza crust. Most electric, convection, and gas ovens cannot reach the high heat necessary for the crust to crisp, and the lack of wood or coal results in an absence of smokiness. But similar to new regulations for barbecue, building ovens with an actual fire comes with its own expensive regulations or, depending on location, may be forbidden altogether.
In Manhattan and the greater NYC area, no consensus exists about the best pizza. I contend that pizza preference has a lot to do with geography, as in how far the pizzeria is from home and whether delivery is offered. But, the pizza of youthful memories may not be your preference today --just as drinking rotgut during college gave way to Mollydooker's Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz now. Tastes, and understanding life's subtle complexities, change.
In Charlotte's culinary youth, one of the first great pizzerias to bake good Italian- and N.Y.-styled pizzas was Carlo's, which opened in 1975. Carlo's was a perennial readers' winner of CL's Best Pizza in Charlotte in the early 1990s. When the owners, the Brucia family, expanded to South Boulevard in 1986, they got brother-in-law Giacomo Virgavamo, a native from Burgio, Sicily, to open that location. Virgavamo came to Charlotte via a stint in pizzerias and Italian restaurants in Queens, N.Y.
Virgavamo became best known at the Carlo's on North Tryon, which was sold in 2006. The decision was made to kill the name because people nowadays confuse Carlo's with a Mexican restaurant. In October 2007, Virgavamo teamed up with native Neapolitan Salvadore Illiano, who owned Romano's in Concord, to open the 50-seat Giacomo's Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant in a small University area shopping strip.
Pizza boxes are stacked high directly behind Giacomo's cash register. The small dining area off to the right is surrounded by silk grape plants and bare-topped tables. A television shouts out the news from the corner. Families clustered at tables seem to be known by the servers. I felt so welcomed, I wanted to like the food as well. But knowing that this is a family business with extensive knowledge of Charlotte's proclivity to blander versions of classic southern Italian dishes gives me pause. Besides, I didn't smell a coal-burning oven.
Giacomo's menu is bulletproof and lengthy: 33 pasta dishes, 31 house specials, 23 hot and cold sub sandwiches, and pizza, both New York and Sicilian. Add calzones, sausage rolls, stromboli and baked clams on the starter list and you have a roster with something for everyone. Most patrons seem to come for the pizza, though.
Giacomo's light, resilient, pliant N.Y.-styled pizza crust is made by Illiano and comes in four sizes from 12 inch to 18. The N.Y. dough has the durable quality of a perfunctory taste memory: nothing memorable, but sure to be consistent. Only fire -- or a faulty oven -- creates variance. Fresh mozzarella flecked with diced tomatoes and slices of green olives work in concert on their Bruschetta while thick rectangular Sicilian pizzas include deft touches of basil and buffalo milk mozzarella.
Giacomo's, though, is more than pizza. Sure, there are the tried and true red and white southern Italian dishes that have given Italian food a bad rap for the past 50 years. Their subs, while not temptingly clever, are filing and satisfying. But leave it to these coastal Italians to raise squid from humble to spectacular. Tendrils of precisely cooked linguini wind around oh-so-tender slices of calamari. This is such a deal at $10, I wondered why everyone hasn't ordered one.
Giacomo's desserts seem unworthy of the calorie compromise and only the zeppelin, deep-fried puffs of dough, which tasted as if they were heated in the microwave, are made in house. But Giacomo's is easy on the wallet: Most lunch items are $5.25 to $6; dinner $8 to $15 for the Fra Diavolo seafood entrée (inclusive of a side salad).
You can't help but like Salvadore and Giacomo: Their accents are thick and as charming as their stellar marinara. They are ever present, smiling from the kitchen while other family members circulate and make customers feel wanted. Forget the pizza: I'd go again just for that southern, albeit Italian, hospitality.
Prices, personnel, dishes, and operating times are accurate as of March 2008, the time of publication. Have a restaurant tip, compliment, complaint? Do you know of a restaurant that has opened, closed, or should be reviewed? Does your restaurant or shop have news, menu changes, new additions to staff or building, upcoming cuisine or wine events?
