We used the Google map, got to the supposed address & couldn't find the restaurant, went back to the hotel, got new direction went back to the same place and finally realized that the restaurant is hidden behind four huge billboards.
It was worth the effort. I had brucetta with fresh tomatoes, lots of garlic, lots of olive oil and a thin slice of parmasan on each piece. Dad had mussels with maybe too much garlic, if such a thing is possible. The tiramsu was light and soaked.
So when I got to Maker Day at Maker Faire yesterday afternoon, I was happy to find that Limor Fried, the founder of Adafruit, was giving a presentation on how to start your own business selling kits. This is a growing business right now, as people look for reasons to teach their kids how to solder, or just want to build a neat device. (Adafruit teamed with the Maker Store to offer the infamous TV-B-Gone kit that garnered a lot of attention at CES this year.)
June 9, 2009 Reported By: Josie Huang Governor John Baldacci plans to sign a bill tomorrow that's aimed at giving the state's DirigoChoice health insurance program much-needed financial stability. To pay for Dirigo, the state charges health insurers a fee each year, which invariably leads to fights over how much the fee should be. Dirigo supporters say the bill to keep the fee fixed from year to year will avoid the expensive legal battles and bad blood. "The Number one thing that it does is it makes the funding source predictable and stable," says David Farmer, spokesman for the governor. Farmer tried to reassure the 9,000 people getting insurance through Dirigo, which is priced on ability to pay, and another 5,500 people who get Medicaid through the use of Dirigo dollars.

new Sparkline('simple1', data).draw();The Maine Senate has given final approval to a measure intended to put Maine's Dirigo Health Insurance program on a healthier financial footing. The House approved the bill Friday, and Gov. John Baldacci, the bill's sponsor, is expected to sign it.
The bill provides an alternative to the Dirigo Health Program's current funding mechanism, a so-called "savings offset" fee assessed on insurers, which is based on how much health care savings the program generates. Because the amount of savings is difficult to accurately nail down, the system has led to court battles.
Instead of relying on savings estimates, the new system will assess a fixed 2.14 percent fee on paid claims. The Maine House passed the measure Friday by a vote of 83 to 53, and the Senate followed suit today by a vote to 20 to 15.
