VG is a funny place. The food is above average, but the service and quality are very inconsistent and it can't seem to decide if it is a sports bar with trendy food or a trendy bar with TVs. The lack of beer on tap makes you think it isn't a bar at all, even though they are serving upscale bar food in a bar atmosphere. Hopefully whoever bought it can whip it into something good.

I see my role as somewhere in between. Clients rely upon my expertise in real estate and I owe them a duty to be as well informed as I can, to opine on relative values, steer them to reputable home inspectors, rather than someone I know will turn a blind eye to defects,and so on. I like to think that my instinctual urge to protect people would kick in and force me to stop a financially unsophisticated couple from getting in over their heads but (a) I only practice in Greenwich, where such people are rare and (b) I'm aware that I am a flawed human being so, while I know how I would expect to act and am confident that I would, I can't declare with absolute certainty in a situation I haven't encountered.But granite counters? You can count on me.

“Soft water” is a term that describes water that has few or no magnesium and calcium deposits. Igneous rock, like granite, and/or peat sources usually help produce soft water. Sedimentary rocks are another source. These items are normally low in calcium and magnesium. Softened water, via the use of ion exchange, usually has more sodium ions than natural water.

Feldard nodded to Nicolai and peered at the map provided for a moment before setting off towards the temple at a brisk pace - well as brisk as possible given the armor he's in. "Nicolai, think you that the Rahib will have the road watched? I'm thinking that the roadside shrine might be an appropriate place to hold the ambush. The woods are near enough and can hide the rest of us while Saeth plays the part of the devoted Rahasia. That said, it is also an ideal spot for us to be taken by surprise ourselves if the Rahib is a suspicious sort."
Feldard keeps his eyes roving the woods on either side of the trail and when Nicolai suggests moving into the woods he doesn't complain.
Feldard makes sure he keeps his breast plate and helm covered by cloak and hood as they inch their way nearer the edge to view the shrine area and the temple beyond - no need to be raising suspicions by allowing a telltale glint of sunlight to reflect off the metal.
The dwarf looks for signs of watchmen along the courtyard wall, along the mountainside and within the wood itself. "What think you, Nicolai?" the dwarf whispers to the party's rogue.]]>

East End is a must, its really our only craft brewery (check growler hours on the site). Just down the road from there about 20 minutes out of Pittsburgh is Rivertowne Pourhouse , they brew the beer in house and their food is really good. If you are looking for so..ewhere with good beer on tap from all over, check out Bocktown. They have a ton of hard to find stuff, I actually just had life and limb from there last night, the food is good also. Right in Pittsburgh Fatheads is a must stop, a lot of good beer on tap but their food is what you need to stop for. Be sure to try one of their sandwiches. Last but not least depending on how much time you are in town Sharp Edge is also worth a stop. Its a bit more upscale but a lot of good beer on tap and awesome food.
Also if you have never had a primanti's sandwich, that is a must try (go to the one in the strip district or southside).]]>

The dough mixed was loose or in other words it had lots of water in it.Try making the dough soft w/o any water and when you try to make the cutlet before frying in oil make sure they are binded and not falling apart!!!
--> The quick fix for this would be add some besan or rice flour till the dough becomes soft(no water) you can also use bread crumbs for this.]]>

Update - Jan 03 2008:
Sofia, Bulgaria, at the foot of mountain Vistosha.
Its new years day, and a real fine snow if falling from the sky. Its cold, but no fierce wind, just a steady stream of cold air. We are in this really fancy hotel on that same foot of the mountain, and our stay of four days allready has established this friendly companionship with the staff. We want to grab the cab for that 3 kilometer away entry to the Gondola. It's should be overthere somewhere, nearby, but too far to walk. The secret way to go up. They do ring us a cab, but the waiting is a first time.. maybe the waiting has to do with that its the morning after the night filled with drinks and fireworks? Maybe just bad luck? Maybe the staff didnt call, and did we misunderstand each other? We check: no, just wait, it must be busy, dont worry. We wait. We try our chauff, the number in the cell. No answer. We wait... Talk a little and have our wandering thoughts shared. This is unusually long. We wait.
Yep! A yellow reliable cab does come. But once in the car way up on our way he shows us he doesnt know where to go to go. The GPS doesnt show the cable. Driving anyway.
Shouldnt you know? Well, we all look for the factual thing alongside the way. At least there must be a way up, if not by cable, then by car?! And then we do see
it..There is the cablecarts going up and down! All will be okay.
Then the driver nor us seem to be able to find an entrance. We try this street. We turn. We try that street. We point at the meter.
We call brothers and sisters, they are not reachable (all phones are in the hotelrooms we find out later) they must be in the Gondola or on the mountain. It must be another gondola they are in..! this is WAY to far out of our neighbourhood..
Vassili points down: he can drive us, by taking the way all around, to the beginning to the Gondola. Or, he can try that at least. Or we can go back to the hotel and try another driver, says one of us. The idea: call the cabphonecentre for your information Vassili! is not understood. The â200234You Should Know This river!â200? doesnt work. The calling family doesnt work. I think its a fine idea to go to the foot of the Gondola. Even if this * is * the Other Gondola: it will bring us up the mountain where we will play in the snow. Maybe not together on the same mountain where the family went to allready, but they were going to do there own activities anyway: snowboard and ski, and strolling around an hour earlier.. at least we will discover that other mountain entry. And we wont be at the hotel sulking, but doing something outside.. and we can allways take the same way home with a cab when we go up there and come down there! But are we all on the same line thinking here?
7 minutes later, confusion, is THAT the way to the foot of the Gondola?! Whaaat? Huh? Ahh.. we will get somewhere, lets go with the flow.. ah! Yes!
45 minutes up with an adorable Bulgarian couple, exchanging 20cents coints of different Euro-Countries, learning eachother dirty words in Bulgarian, and in
Dutch, the first ones written on the wall in the cabin, the later coming out of our mouths as if we are children again.. We are sure this is the Other Gondola, but we decided to love that fact. After mimicking we know there are bears, wolves, deer and rabbits below us under the cabin, but no girafs, elephants and lions. We can tell eachother stories in our worldlanguages, and practice our Happy New Year in the two languages we really speak. Yes, there is the story of the girl Vitosha, and the boy the other mountain. But its not available right now. I will look it up in my rough guide.
And giddy we arrive at the top. Wow, real snow, real skivacation feel. Too bad my brother doesnt want to ski. But loves the snow, tho. His pregnant lover screams for it, but sticks to her plan to not ski and not risk it with baby in belly, and sooths her longing by making plans with the three of us for skiing next year, with babe, babe and me, for sure!! He (bro) will do the baby and the cooking. Done deal.
And i think its cold, beautifull, and i do want to walk for at least 5 minutes, but that will be the max too, and then find that good old coffeecorner i see over there allready, preferably with strong drinks and smiling men and women! Inside. And I did keep in mind that I told myself i wanted to go out on the mountain on my own, (with the three of us, but in silence, focussing on Todd) to see if that could shed some more optimistic thoughts on Todds way out. Lets try that with the 5 minutes. I can always turn. I have my escapes allways near at hand.
We decide on that little stroll: at that same moment, within the next 12 meters hey!! That is papa!! Its The mountain afterall!!
So, a hot chocolate and a pee later with our beloved parents, we set out with the three of us. Walking up the mountain on a small path thru the snow. First next
to eachother, then in a little train of three, taking path down, or cold snowstormy empty field up. Yes lets take the path up, than the way back will be at least going down instead of up.. so we have to leave the confenient trees, with snow on the eh, takken. We do.
Todd, if this is what you see and experience.. White, wide view. With that sound of the stormy wind, and crackling snow under your feet. Trees around the edge
of the view to the left front, our left middle and left behind, white x-mas trees with the frozen snow on em.. and everywhere snow, especially on our right side enormeous stones, also covered with thick pack of snow up rightside. Some trees on the right. White.Two feet wide path. Yes you fall knee deep into the snow, next to the path. The talking stops. Its walking. Up up is the way. There is nothing else than this white and some trees overthere.. uech.
My turn to walk front. Its 25 minutes later at least, maybe 40. Or an hour. Or an amount of time that will never stop. Its the now. It might be 27 minutes. I did
let go of my minutes in minute 4. Its wondereous, immense, and so silent. And so cold, but not on my hands. Even can take my gloves off. But i feel totally sad and forlorn inside. There is no way then up. Quiet. Alone. With company, but i have to do it myself Up up. Me and the hill. The people i love are in my mind. I know they love me. I know i love them. I know what i want. Breathing is what i do. The view is dramatic and the best score for this feeling for now. I see the top I want to reach today. And there I let myself fall in the snow. Its the place where my brother makes his snow-angle. Its a good one. We started talking again, its beautifull. It is.
And by the time we walk down, with the snowwind not in our face, i walk as third last in line.. I see the welcoming threes. Every one of them is different white
and structured then the other. The green is so visible on the bottom side of the tree. It is not white, it is covered with white. The path is wide and friendly. With itâ200231s two feet wideness. I know that Todd will reach this point. The point that I gave up on before, when walking up, knowing it could still be there, but not expecting it, but still expecting it. That it will be warm in the cold. Silent and warm. The struggle is behind me point. Just follow the path, and be aware.
Its a path home! To the fire and drinks. Different focus, same path.
I call home on the cellphone, instant connection. I blabber about how beautifull and healthy it feels here on the mountain. All is good. Then i do reach the trees, and their welcoming warm embrace.
What a sappy story, but i love you Alex and Todd, and i will tell lots of kampfire stories these coming months, overhere in hometown Amsterdam when im home again, and with you guys in Oakylandia.
Love, Toetsie.]]>

We call brothers and sisters, they are not reachable (all phones are in the hotelrooms we find out later) they must be in the Gondola or on the mountain. It must be another gondola they are in..! this is WAY to far out of our neighbourhood..
Vassili points down: he can drive us, by taking the way all around, to the beginning to the Gondola. Or, he can try that at least. Or we can go back to the hotel and try another driver, says one of us. The idea: call the cabphonecentre for your information Vassili! is not understood. The â200234You Should Know This river!â200? doesnt work. The calling family doesnt work. I think its a fine idea to go to the foot of the Gondola. Even if this * is * the Other Gondola: it will bring us up the mountain where we will play in the snow. Maybe not together on the same mountain where the family went to allready, but they were going to do there own activities anyway: snowboard and ski, and strolling around an hour earlier.. at least we will discover that other mountain entry. And we wont be at the hotel sulking, but doing something outside.. and we can allways take the same way home with a cab when we go up there and come down there! But are we all on the same line thinking here?
7 minutes later, confusion, is THAT the way to the foot of the Gondola?! Whaaat? Huh? Ahh.. we will get somewhere, lets go with the flow.. ah! Yes!
45 minutes up with an adorable Bulgarian couple, exchanging 20cents coints of different Euro-Countries, learning eachother dirty words in Bulgarian, and in
Dutch, the first ones written on the wall in the cabin, the later coming out of our mouths as if we are children again.. We are sure this is the Other Gondola, but we decided to love that fact. After mimicking we know there are bears, wolves, deer and rabbits below us under the cabin, but no girafs, elephants and lions. We can tell eachother stories in our worldlanguages, and practice our Happy New Year in the two languages we really speak. Yes, there is the story of the girl Vitosha, and the boy the other mountain. But its not available right now. I will look it up in my rough guide.
And giddy we arrive at the top. Wow, real snow, real skivacation feel. Too bad my brother doesnt want to ski. But loves the snow, tho. His pregnant lover screams for it, but sticks to her plan to not ski and not risk it with baby in belly, and sooths her longing by making plans with the three of us for skiing next year, with babe, babe and me, for sure!! He (bro) will do the baby and the cooking. Done deal.
And i think its cold, beautifull, and i do want to walk for at least 5 minutes, but that will be the max too, and then find that good old coffeecorner i see over there allready, preferably with strong drinks and smiling men and women! Inside. And I did keep in mind that I told myself i wanted to go out on the mountain on my own, (with the three of us, but in silence, focussing on Todd) to see if that could shed some more optimistic thoughts on Todds way out. Lets try that with the 5 minutes. I can always turn. I have my escapes allways near at hand.
We decide on that little stroll: at that same moment, within the next 12 meters hey!! That is papa!! Its The mountain afterall!!
So, a hot chocolate and a pee later with our beloved parents, we set out with the three of us. Walking up the mountain on a small path thru the snow. First next
to eachother, then in a little train of three, taking path down, or cold snowstormy empty field up. Yes lets take the path up, than the way back will be at least going down instead of up.. so we have to leave the confenient trees, with snow on the eh, takken. We do.
Todd, if this is what you see and experience.. White, wide view. With that sound of the stormy wind, and crackling snow under your feet. Trees around the edge
of the view to the left front, our left middle and left behind, white x-mas trees with the frozen snow on em.. and everywhere snow, especially on our right side enormeous stones, also covered with thick pack of snow up rightside. Some trees on the right. White.Two feet wide path. Yes you fall knee deep into the snow, next to the path. The talking stops. Its walking. Up up is the way. There is nothing else than this white and some trees overthere.. uech.
My turn to walk front. Its 25 minutes later at least, maybe 40. Or an hour. Or an amount of time that will never stop. Its the now. It might be 27 minutes. I did
let go of my minutes in minute 4. Its wondereous, immense, and so silent. And so cold, but not on my hands. Even can take my gloves off. But i feel totally sad and forlorn inside. There is no way then up. Quiet. Alone. With company, but i have to do it myself Up up. Me and the hill. The people i love are in my mind. I know they love me. I know i love them. I know what i want. Breathing is what i do. The view is dramatic and the best score for this feeling for now. I see the top I want to reach today. And there I let myself fall in the snow. Its the place where my brother makes his snow-angle. Its a good one. We started talking again, its beautifull. It is.
And by the time we walk down, with the snowwind not in our face, i walk as third last in line.. I see the welcoming threes. Every one of them is different white
and structured then the other. The green is so visible on the bottom side of the tree. It is not white, it is covered with white. The path is wide and friendly. With itâ200231s two feet wideness. I know that Todd will reach this point. The point that I gave up on before, when walking up, knowing it could still be there, but not expecting it, but still expecting it. That it will be warm in the cold. Silent and warm. The struggle is behind me point. Just follow the path, and be aware.
Its a path home! To the fire and drinks. Different focus, same path.
I call home on the cellphone, instant connection. I blabber about how beautifull and healthy it feels here on the mountain. All is good. Then i do reach the trees, and their welcoming warm embrace.
What a sappy story, but i love you Alex and Todd, and i will tell lots of kampfire stories these coming months, overhere in hometown Amsterdam when im home again, and with you guys in Oakylandia.
Love, Toetsie.]]>

Update - Jan 03 2008:
Sofia, Bulgaria, at the foot of mountain Vistosha.
Its new years day, and a real fine snow if falling from the sky. Its cold, but no fierce wind, just a steady stream of cold air. We are in this really fancy hotel on that same foot of the mountain, and our stay of four days allready has established this friendly companionship with the staff. We want to grab the cab for that 3 kilometer away entry to the Gondola. It's should be overthere somewhere, nearby, but too far to walk. The secret way to go up. They do ring us a cab, but the waiting is a first time.. maybe the waiting has to do with that its the morning after the night filled with drinks and fireworks? Maybe just bad luck? Maybe the staff didnt call, and did we misunderstand each other? We check: no, just wait, it must be busy, dont worry. We wait. We try our chauff, the number in the cell. No answer. We wait... Talk a little and have our wandering thoughts shared. This is unusually long. We wait.
Yep! A yellow reliable cab does come. But once in the car way up on our way he shows us he doesnt know where to go to go. The GPS doesnt show the cable. Driving anyway.
Shouldnt you know? Well, we all look for the factual thing alongside the way. At least there must be a way up, if not by cable, then by car?! And then we do see
it..There is the cablecarts going up and down! All will be okay.
Then the driver nor us seem to be able to find an entrance. We try this street. We turn. We try that street. We point at the meter.
We call brothers and sisters, they are not reachable (all phones are in the hotelrooms we find out later) they must be in the Gondola or on the mountain. It must be another gondola they are in..! this is WAY to far out of our neighbourhood..
