Free Lasagna at Buca di Beppo on July 29,2009

Do you love Lasagna as much as I do? The only thing better than lasagna, is free lasagna! In celebration of National Lasagna Day (seriously, it is!) our friends at Buca di Beppo are offering a free lunch sized portion of their famous lasagna when you purchase a Buca Small or Buca Large Pasta or Entrée on Wednesday, July 29th only.
This is a dine in only offer, but you may box up any left over to take home with you (which usually happens anyway, their portions are huge!) Who said there is no such thing as free lunch. Bon appetit!
Computer Crash? TEKSOLJIERS To The Rescue!
July 27, 2009 by Mark Smith
Filed under Local Events
What do you do when your laptop computer crashes and you have no idea of how to get it running again? You could do what I did, and begin by turning it off, waiting a few minutes, and trying to start it up again. Didn’t work for you either, did it? After contemplating the sledge hammer method (only use as a last resort. Results not positive) I tried to call the manufacturer of the laptop (rhymes with smell) and after a few hours of diagnostics, they determined they needed more money from me to fix the issue.
It wasn’t until I hung up with their less than helpful help center that I remembered the TEKSOLJIERS logo that has been floating at the top of MiraMesa.com since we decided to have sponsors affiliated with our website. You would figure that since I run a computer based business, that I would be able to fix my own computer. You would be wrong. When things go wrong, I call in the pros. I needed my laptop not only to run, but I also needed the information that was stored on my machine to be preserved. You are probably saying to yourself, “Good thing he backed everything up in case the computer crashes!” and once again, you would be wrong. I know now!
Fortunately, I sent an email to Will from TEKSOLJIERS, and he quickly replied. We determined the cause of my issues and he came to our office to pick up the machine. He assured me that he could fix it, save my data, and get it up and running soon. I always try to use local merchants when I can, and I even found Will’s rates to be better than our other VW-driving tech wizards. I am all about saving money when I can so I can spend it frivolously elsewhere. My minor problem turned out to be major, and the hard drive had to be returned to its manufacturer. I was leaving for a family vacation, and would not be able to deal with shipping issues while out of state, but Will took care of that for me. When I got home from my trip, my laptop was back to normal, and he even cleaned it up and took care of all of the virus issues that caused the crash in the first place.
He even instructed me in proper data backup, to protect my information in the future. I can tell you that I had piece of mind while out of town, knowing that I didn’t lose all of my music, photo, and data files. I had so many issues (due to operator error, no doubt) with my photo and video files, and Will took care of those issues too. If you are looking for someone to fix your computer problems, consult with you about spyware applications, or do major crisis problem solving, call Will at TEKSOLJIERS. They made a believer out of me.
