Authorities arrested two New York City men and charged them in a machete assault on the barrier island side of the Mantoloking Bridge Wednesday night.
According to Ocean County Prosecutor Marlene Lynch Ford, eyewitnesses placed 911 calls at approximately 7:09 p.m. Wednesday reporting that an individual brandishing a machete-type weapon was involved in an altercation with other individuals near the intersection of Route 35 and Herbert Street in Mantoloking.
Based on a vehicle description given by the eyewitnesses, Mantoloking police stopped a blue Subaru with New York license plates and found a back seat passenger, identified as Michael Villanueva, 25, of New York City, with blood on his arms and clothing, Ford said.
Police later learned three people were being treated at CentraState Medical Center in Freehold for "slashing and penetrating wounds inflicted by a sharp weapon," Ford said.
An investigation revealed those individuals sustained their injuries during the altercation with Villanueva and the Subaru's driver, Lenin Herrera, 26, of the Harlem section of Manhattan, said Ford.
Both Villanueva and Herrera were charged with aggravated assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the machete, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes and unlawful possession of a weapon.
Bail for both men was set at $250,000 cash by Superior Court Judge Stephanie M. Wauters. Neither of the two men were listed as being inmates in the Ocean County or Monmouth County jails Thursday night, according to jail records.
Police are still investigating the incident, Ford said. Anyone with information on the alleged assault is being asked to call Detective Thomas Tiernan of the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office at 732-929-2027 or Patrolman William Shewan of the Mantoloking Police Department at 732-892-0832.

Arson attack forces charity shop to shut
7:00pm Thursday 14th June 2012 in News By Matthew Edwards
A TOWN centre charity shop has survived a suspected arson attack.
The fire was deliberately started in a bin in King Street at the back of the British Heart Foundation shop on Wednesday night and it damaged the back of the store.
The delivery entrance to the shop was badly damaged and there was also damage to the roof, but the inside of the store was untouched.
Three crews from Wiltshire Fire And Rescue were called to the incident just before midnight and used two hose reels and an aerial appliance to stop the blaze from spreading.
British Heart Foundation area manager Ron Humphries lost a store to fire last year and said he was relieved that none of the stock had been damaged.
The store was closed yesterday because the electrics and gas had to be turned off by the fire brigade but it is expected to re-open today.
Mr Humphries said: "The fire started because someone set fire to the bins at the back of the shop.
"It has affected the back entrance but we are lucky that it did not spread into the store and damage the stock.
"I have six stores and I had a store in Kidderminster that was burnt to the ground last year, so my initial thoughts were that I could have lost another store.
"We are lucky the damage was not a lot worse and it was great the fire brigade got there pretty quickly to keep it contained.
"The store has been closed today because we have no power and obviously any loss of taking in donations is a big blow to us but we are hoping to be open as soon as possible."
A spokesman for the Wiltshire Fire And Rescue Service, said: "The British Heart Foundation shop in King Street, Swindon was badly damaged by fire on Wednesday night.
"Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service received multiple calls about the incident, which was first reported at 11.43pm.
"Four fire engines were sent to the scene, from Swindon, Stratton and Westlea, supported by the aerial appliance from Swindon and a control unit from Stratton.
"Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus tackled the blaze, using two hose reel jets and a thermal imaging camera was also used to check for fire spread.
"An investigation concluded that the fire started with the deliberate ignition of a wheelie bin at the rear of the premises, with the flames spreading to the roof."
Donations to the charity can still be made by calling 08442 489119 or by visiting the website which can be found at www.bhf.org.uk.

Helped me buy and sell homes
Rebecca is the best of the best. HIGHLY knowledgeable, extremely well organized, wonderful to work with, and she happens to also be a very nice person. We have sold and bought a home using her, and we will never deal with any other agent/broker again. She helped us survive a short sale purchase with an awful bank and an even more awful agent on the seller's side, and she was wonderful. We couldn't have done it without her. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
Highly likely to recommend
Listed and sold a home
Rebecca was extremely professional and forthright from the beginning to the end of the process of selling our house. Although it took almost a year for the house to sell due to the condition of our house and the number of houses for sale in the Parma area, Rebecca worked diligently to find a buyer. We appreciate her honesty and her time.

Helped me buy home
Very professional help with purchasing my house.
Highly likely to recommend
Showed me homes
I have worked with hundreds of realtors in my 20 years as a real estate appraiser. Rebecca is one of the sharpest and most professional realtors I have ever met.
Highly likely to recommend
Listed home, but didn't sell
Rebecca Bauer is the best realtor we have ever worked with, and there has been a few. When I first called her I needed to get this sale moving, now. She was on it, wasting no time but most of all she doesn't play games like some agents. Honest. I wish we had met her years ago.

At least in retrospect, Lieutenant Hegewald's collecting of the stone logs had thus far been a piece of cake. But on the return trip, the heavy-laden troop got delayed in rough country and occasionally had to stop "to make a road."
Though petrified wood is all but impervious to normal weather, the Sherman Logs, it turned out, got collected not a moment too soon. The Petrified Forest had survived the sieges of eons, but it was no match for the entrepreneurial and acquisitive spirit of Homo sapiens. News of the "stone trees" in Arizona Territory soon began to spread. And no wonder, if people saw the rock-candy descriptions like this one by touring German artist Baldwin Möllhausen, published in 1858: "Trees of all sizes lay irregularly scattered about. . . . great heaps of petrifications gleaming with such splendid colours that we could not resist the temptation" to break off a piece.
According to Maj. John Wesley Powell, later to become director of the U.S. Bureau of Ethnology at the Smithsonian, the Piute believed the petrified logs were spent arrow shafts sent by their thunder god, Shinauav. A few Indians had built dwellings from large blocks of petrified wood. Others chipped out tools and weapons--arrowheads and axes. One man's old dead tree, however, can be another man's fortune. In 1885 it was noted that foreigners had shown particular interest in the trees. An enterprising Russian dealer had paid $500 for a petrified log 28 inches in diameter and 30 inches long; he planned to slice it up to make tabletops. Material from the fallen groves was also snapped up for inlay, paneling, floor tiles, mosaics and jewelry.
Heavier inroads on the precious supply of ex-wood were soon to come. Drake & Co. of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, had trunks hauled out of the forest so chunks could be turned into mantels, clock cases, pedestals, paperweights and other articles of agatized wood for Tiffany & Co. and other eager clients.
The Armstrong Abrasive Company of Denver got the idea of grinding up these trunks to make emery. Armstrong moved its Chicago plant to Adamana, Arizona, a stop on the new railroad line. (Adamana got its name from the only man living there, one Adam Hanna, who prospered as a guide for souvenir- hunting parties bound into remote parts of the Petrified Forest.)
By 1899 a U.S. Geological Survey report declared that if something wasn't done about the situation soon, the ancient forest would go to as "virtual extinction as the buffalo." Seven years later Teddy Roosevelt made the area a national monument, but only in 1962, under President John F. Kennedy, did the Petrified Forest finally become a national park.
Ancient trees like those in Arizona tell us a good deal about the now-lost world in which they flourished. Though they are as hard as quartz, they are pockmarked with telltale signs of life. We can see the tunnels where ancient insects bored into them. Geologist Tim Demko and his colleagues have found hundreds of fossilized hives in the trees, suggesting that an insect resembling the modern bee may have been buzzing about 100 million years before flowers came into existence. These finds, in addition to much fossil evidence of other plants and a variety of animals, have led scientists to conjure up the vision of an entire ecosystem.
Today, the research continues. But its subject matter, apparently, is still disappearing. Despite a guard force of seven National Park Service rangers, and fences, warning signs and the threat of a $275 fine, about 12 to 14 tons of the fossil wood disappears from the Petrified Forest every year. The culprits, according to Chief Ranger Pat Quinn, are usually "your everyday honest visitors" seeking souvenirs.

Whenever a financial challenge faces your life, it's wise to seek the professional guidance of a financial professional and to ensure you've considered all the factors that may affect your immediate, short- and long-term financial goals. But to whom can you turn for reliable guidance in these matters? If you're looking for an experienced financial professional to help you find solutions to your financial challenges, I can help. I'll strive to maintain a strong relationship with you through every life stage. Together we'll review your insurance needs and goals, adjust strategies as needed, and I will provide you with various options to make sure that we are providing the right solutions to your financial challenges.
The Challenge
With people living longer, we're challenged to finance retirements that could last 20 to 30 years or more. Over the last generation, the number of private sector workers with traditional pensions has declined significantly. Health care and other costs in retirement keep rising.
Add it up, and it means people today shoulder more personal responsibility to finance longer and more expensive retirements. This calls for a fundamental shift in the way we plan for retirement, from just accumulating savings to planning for lifetime income.

I am not really a dessert type person - main course is as the name suggests the highlight of any meal for me. However just occasionally I will indulge in this fantastically dense, rich cake which tastes great warm or cold. In fact, assuming you have the self-discipline, this cake tastes even better the day after baking.
70 g un-salted softened butter
100 g good quality dark chocolate
3 medium eggs, seperated
60 g icing sugar
30g finely chopped almond nuts
1 level tablespoon plain flour
a sprinkle of caster sugar
Before cooking first separate the three egg yolks and whites.
Now, begin by breaking up the chocolate and placing it in a bowl and putting the bowl over a pan of boiling water. Reduce the heat on the pan to take the water off the boil and allow the chocolate to melt almost completely.
Just before the chocolate has completely melted, add 50 g of the softened butter and stir into the chocolate using a spatula. Immediately add the 3 egg yolks, stirring continuously, followed by the icing sugar, finely chopped almonds, and the flour. Stir until everything is blended beautifully.
Remove the bowl from the pan, and set aside allowing the mix to cool a little.
Pre-heat the oven to 180 C.
Take a very clean mixing bowl and add the 3 egg whites with the caster sugar. Start by whisking slowly and gradually increase whisking speed. Whisk until the whisk leaves traces in the whites and they no longer stick to the sides of the bowl.
Take a quarter of the whisked whites and fold into the chocolate mixture. When incorporated, gently fold in the rest of the whites, and continue slowly until all traces of white have disappeared.
Take an 8 inch round cake tin (or rectangular), grease with the remaining butter and sprinkle in a little flour. Shake the flour around the greased cake tin and tap out any excess. Take the batter and carefully fill the cake tin, making it smooth on top.
Place the cake tin in the bottom half of the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Now slip the blade of the knife into the cake to see if it is done or not. It should emerge with the edges dry, but the centre still reasonably moist.
Remove the cake from the baking tin, and turn upside down onto a cooling rack.
The cake can be ate warm or cool. As I said earlier, it tastes best the day after, but can you wait that long?
Serve with creme fraiche, yoghurt, vanilla ice cream, or a favourite of mine raspberry sorbet!

ORLANDO, FL. The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, (GOAA) which operates the Orlando International Airport, (MCO) is one of the first governmental bodies in Central Florida to test the effectiveness and viability of bio-diesel fuel in daily applications and operations. MCO is testing the fuel in approximately 100 of its fleet vehicles. The test vehicles are using about 1000 gallons a day with no adverse affects.
The bio-diesel used by the airport is a blend of 20 percent bio-diesel and 80 percent petroleum diesel. This mixture is approved for use in tugs, trucks, buses and general diesel equipment because it can be used in commercial diesel engines with little or no modification.
"We continue to look for environmentally friendly, yet economically viable alternatives to meet our growing demand for fuel for various ground operations around the airport. Bio-diesel offers that unique blend of comparable price and quality that we were looking for," says Steve Gardner, Interim Executive Director for the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.
Bio-diesel is a clean burning alternative fuel produced from domestic, renewable resources such as soybeans and restaurant waste oil.
There should be no noticeable difference for visitors to Orlando International Airport from the clean burning bio-diesel fuel.
Orlando International Airport is the busiest passenger airport in the state of Florida with over 34.1 million travelers in 2005.

See the USA in an Auditor Way
Let me warn you right up front - this is a post about nostalgia; about times gone by; about remembrances of things that probably aren't as good as remembered; about why things might have been better long ago. I suppose I'm about to prove I'm old and have been working for too long. Get over it. (And while you're at it, get off my lawn.)
To our story. I fly almost everywhere now. My travels take me to a lot of different places – major cities like Seattle and Orlando and Los Angeles and Las Vegas. You don't drive to places like that, you fly. (Well, a friend of mine never flies to Los Angeles. It's a one-hour flight from Phoenix, but he feels that waiting at the airport is not a good use of his time so he always makes the 5 to 6-hour drive. He is insane. He is probably worth discussing at some future date.)
But long ago, when dinosaurs ruled the earth and auditors wore green eye-shades while bayoneting the wounded and I was a young cub-auditor, I put in a lot of windshield time. Just three states – Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. But, even when I flew, it was usually to get to a city that seemed only a little closer to the far-flung locales I needed to visit. Such esoteric locations as Roswell or Ely or Sierra Vista or Carlsbad or Winnemucca or Wickenburg or Elko or Truth or Consequences or Tucamcari or Chinle or Battle Mountain or Tonopah or…you get the idea. (And, if you don't get the idea, look them up on a map. That is a lot of windshield time.)
Back to the present. I always read when I'm flying. I do not work. I do not open a computer. I do not write furiously on a pad of paper (unless it is something that doesn't have to do with work). I do not read reports that are due. I do not work on the airplane (nor, come to think of it, in the airport). The habit started while flying in those good old days when you didn't have a computer and it was a whole lot harder to work in a plane than it is now. Accordingly, I get a lot of reading done on planes.
On my most recent flight I was reading the excellent book State by State edited by Matt Weiland and Sean Wilsey. The book is a collection of 50 different essays about each of the 50 states written by 50 different authors (plus one for the District of Columbia). The idea actually originated from a WPA project of the thirties and forties where the Federal Writers Project commissioned 48 state guides/books for the then 48 states. Almost every essay is an interesting introspection of the state and the author.
While reading, I had one of my minor epiphanies. (This happens to me often when I'm flying and drinking rum and cokes). I realized I was reading about the country as I flew over it. (Remember, I said it was a minor epiphany.)
And that is when I realized just how much I missed experiencing the states I was flying over. That's when I realized how much I missed that windshield time. That's when I realized I was losing the sense of "travel" that occurs when driving; a sense you cannot achieve in a plane.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love flying. I still insist on the window seat. I firmly believe that, when you stop wanting to look out the window when you fly, you should just quit flying. But you do not get the sense of "journey" that comes from driving from one locale to another.
Let us take the example of a recent trip to Santa Barbara.
We climb on a plane and leave behind that weird combination of desert and city that is Phoenix. One and one-half hours later, delivered via a climate controlled cabin, we're knee-deep in the beaches and surf and palm trees and indescribable (or intolerable – depends who you are) "vibe" of California.
Now, the same trip, but let's drive. There is an actual leaving of the city, there is the drive through desert and desert mountains, there is a major river crossed – a state line, there is a change in desert, there is a sudden climb past energy-generating windmills, there is city, there is more city, there is a lot more city, there is the subsidence of city, there is a beach, there is Santa Barbara. There is an actual journey. There is an actual sense of place.
Let's get one thing straight, I enjoy travel of any kind. And, as I said, I really enjoy flying. But nothing can take the place of moving along the road. (And how ironic is it that, as I type this, I am hearing "On the Road Again" by Willie Nelson. I'm not making this up. My clichés aren't that cliché-ridden.) And, while I'm not saying things were really that great in the good old days, I can say that I really miss that period when my job allowed me the opportunity to make those journeys.

Charles was born in the county right next to mine. 32 miles from where I grew up.
Team Peeps!
BTW, we know Albert had a morphine addiction, were there any "ladies of the evening" storylines on LHOTP? I'm assuming there were, considering they had quite a few episodes centered around the big city.
When I'm old, I don't want them to say of me, "She's so charming." I want them to say, "Be careful, I think she's armed."
Fact of Life: After Monday and Tuesday even the calendar says W T F
They also interviewed both Melissas, & MSA said a lot of the women on the show wore wigs to replicate the styles of the time. Miss Beadle's hair is painfully obviously a wig.
^^^Also the "Little Women"episode where Nellie gets fitted for for a wig during one of the play rehersals.
I love the dream sequences. Being born on Halloween gave Michael Landon a twisted sense of
( ps I just rewatched this one yesterday, my memory is not THAt good!!!!
( the episode also included Mary coming along to see her boyfriend who was ready to dump her) good times!!!
That was the Grange convention. I don't remember the name of the episode.
Darn that John.
^^^^ "Times Of Change" from Season 4.
My b-day is tomorrow, & I'm always the one who brings the entertainment for after-dinners with my parents, so I decided to bring over a couple eppys from Season 2 - "The Gift"(Laura & Mary use the Sunday School $$ to buy medicines to sell to try to buy Rev. Alden a better birthday present than the one they can actually afford); The Richest Man in Walnut Grove (family pulls together to raise the cash to pay off their debt at the Mercantile); & "Centennial" (Russian immigrant loses his house and land in a tax sale because he doesn't realize that when he purchased the land he also purchased the tax liability). One of my dad's favorite singers plays the role of the Russian (no one else can speak and sing as convincingly in Russian or in the Russian accent as Theo Bikel).
Here is a boring YT about ILNY from the 70s. No one mentioned your upstate NY heritage. It's all about Manhattan. And sorry, when I went skiing, my family went to Vermont.

How was Pa paying the hookers? Weren't the Ingalls dirt poor?
I got it-He fake fiddled in the lounge area, and was paid via the barter system for providing the evening's entertainment.
Was this show really so soapy? I think I watched it as kid for a year or two, but I don't remember bath houses, prostitutes, and morphine addicted children.

A Fable: How Good King Billy Came to Rule
And it came to pass that a new king arose to rule the Land of the Tense Sea, a young prince beloved among eastern chieftains of the tribe called Grizzled Ole Plutocrats, or GOPs for short, who had fought for as long as tales are told with the warlike Demoncrat tribe.
But the Demoncrats had fallen into disarray in the wars of recent years, even as one of their number, King Philip, held the throne, while the GOPs grew strong and bold. And Philip grew old in his reign and abdicated. It is said that fearful visions of a Demoncrat Obamanation had something to do with this, but that is another story.
The new king was named William, or Billy for short, and he was the son of Baron Big Jim, patriarch of a clan that had come into great wealth and power as keepers of small pastures known as grass stations, where travelers might graze their oxen, horses and other beasts of burden for a small fee. At the grass stations, Big Jim would erect a lamp and signs declaring "Here is Grass" so that passing folk might know to pilot themselves to the pasture, even in darkness.
And Big Jim saw to it that the grass was good and cheaper than the competition's, so that citizens of the realm would ask, upon seeing a patch of green as they sought sustenance for their beasts, "Has it a Lamp?" And the clan became known as "Has Lamp" for the affirmative reply.
Now, the Has Lamp clan was great amongst the GOPs, serving as counselor and provider of swords and sustenance to many legendary tribal leaders. Among them were the Lord Lamar, Corkerer the Sorcerer and the exiled monarch, Donnie the Sun King, who had reigned over the land in peace until he came to believe in the End Comes Text, whereupon he was overthrown by the Demoncrat Philip, the Well Bred Son, who aligned himself with many GOPs. (Some whisper that Big Jim, quietly, was among them during Philip's skirmish with a rebellious GOPs warlord known as the Hilarious One.)
Billy was a gentle and scholarly youth, who thought once of becoming a priest among the common people. But the Has Lamp family called, and Billy labored long and hard in the grass stations until the fortune of the family and himself was secured
He wedded the Countess Crissy, a fair lady of the western lands of the Tense Sea, and they settled with others of the Has Lamp clan in the Ville of Knocks, a fiefdom then ruled by a GOP lord called The Victor. When The Victor went away to become ambassador to a far land, Billy came to rule in his stead after being counseled by Corkerer the Sorcerer and rallying the people with the aid of the Has Lamp clan.
And so, when King Philip declared that he would leave the throne, Billy summoned his family, friends and many GOP nobles and laid plans to succeed him. But other GOPs had the same notion, including Ramses, a warlord of Legislatorland, and the Wampster, a shaman of the Southeast, who declared themselves men of the far righteousness ready to destroy all Demoncrats, cursing them as Obamanations and waving battle axes.
But Billy Has Lamp spoke only of his love for the people and, sometimes, of chocolate pie. He bore a red umbrella as he went among the people, who praised him as "a nice guy." Ramses and the Wampster shouted and called him foul names such as "moderate" and even "liberal." Billy explained that this was not so.
Then he spoke of his plans to bring a new normal to the people, to fashion a sword called Dashboard, to use a mysterious device called matrix and other magical means to bring peace, happiness and jobs to all the land without any taxes -- after a top-to-bottom review.
The GOPs all across the Tense Sea rallied to the Billy of the Has Lamp and paid no heed to Ramses and the Wampster, who eventually bowed, paid homage and spoke no more ill of him.
Oh, and a Demoncrat peddler of ale and other beverages, known as bald Michael and son of the great King Ned the Bald of past glory, briefly tried to rally remnants of his tribe against Billy's assumption of the throne. But it was a time of GOP glory and Michael was easily vanquished.
And so Good King Billy assumed the throne and, assembling a group of wise counselors, began the top-to-bottom review.
(To be continued.)
Intriguing start.
Intriguing start.
I'll be interested to see how this fable ends. I already have my own ending. In any event, write more fables. All of human life may turn out to be a fable -- a cautionary tale for the next batch of creation.
If only I knew what this fable was alluding... oh, wait, clever Tom... very clever (this is actually pretty funny).
I thought I was reading a script from "Game of Thrones" on HBO but it was Tennessee's
own Games of Thrones. Humphrey good work.

---- — SARANAC — Vandals damaged 75 headstones at Independence Cemetery in a daytime raid that has left Samuel Tedford heartbroken.
"What satisfaction would anybody get out of doing something like this?" the Saranac man said, still distraught more than a week later.
"It just makes no sense whatsoever."
Tedford is president of the Independence Cemetery Board of Trustees, and he and the other board members are trying to figure out what they are going to do about the grave markers that were damaged on Monday, Sept. 16.
Stones were knocked over throughout the Route 3 cemetery, which dates back to before the Civil War. Many of them have cracked at the base or at the top.
Some crumbled into pieces.
Most of the damage is in the back of the cemetery, away from Route 3, but some stones closer to the main road were toppled over.
"Some of these stones can just be reset, but others are broken in two, three or four places," Tedford said.
The random act of vandalism occurred sometime during the day. Tedford said he got a call from a man who said he went for a walk in the cemetery at 9:30 that morning and did not notice any problems.
"Later that day, he went for a walk again about 5 p.m., and he noticed the damage, and he called me," he said.
State Police have been notified, and they are looking into the incident, Tedford said, but have not made any arrests yet.
The damage has been estimated at about $8,000, but he thinks that might be a bit low.
He reported the damage to the State Division of Cemeteries in Albany and hopes to get some financial help from their vandalism fund.
The cemetery operates on revenue from sales of lots, as well as interest from its Perpetual Care Fund.
But it's not much, Tedford said.
"If we spent $8,000 on this, it would put an awful dent in our finances," he said.
The cemetery, which features headstones from the 1800s, including dozens of Civil War soldiers, was hit by vandals in 2002, when 38 stones were damaged.
No one was ever caught in that incident.
The Cemetery Board does not have insurance for the stones, and most of the family members of the deceased are long gone.
Tedford, 71, takes pride in caring for the cemetery, which has a special place not only in Saranac and Adirondack history but in national history.
And he has relatives from the late 1800s buried there.
"This is the final resting place for these people, and it should be respected," he said.
"There is just no rhyme or reason to this."
He hopes the perpetrators will be caught.
"They should make them do about 250 hours of community service under my direction," he said.
"Their souls may belong to Jesus, but their ass would belong to me, and they would come away respecting this cemetery."

Quick Dinner Recipes (Slide 6)
This is probably the worst recipe I have made from this site. I had high hopes, as most things from this site have turned out well. But this was barely edible, and I threw out the copious amount of leftovers because we had no desire to eat it again. The flavors were strange and didn't actually have much taste. The use of pasta was weird in this too, maybe rice noodles would have been better? Either way, we won't be making this again. There are too many other great recipes here to try to waste time trying to fix this one.

BOSTON -- Joe Rahon scored the go-ahead layup with 1:16 remaining as Boston College rallied to beat Georgia Tech 74-72 on Saturday.
Boston College (15-16, 7-11 ACC) trailed 64-59 with 4:19 to go, but scored the next 12 points to win a matchup of two teams tied in the ACC standings. The Eagles will be the eighth seed entering next week's ACC tournament; Georgia Tech (16-14, 6-12) drops to ninth and could end up 10th with a Clemson victory later Saturday and a Wake Forest loss today.
Rahon scored 15 points to lead Boston College, which trailed by as many as 10 points in the second half but came back to win its third in a row. Marcus Georges-Hunt led the Yellow Jackets with 16 points.
Georgia Tech, which upset ACC leader and seventh-ranked Miami on Wednesday, pulled within 73-72 on Chris Bolden's 3-pointer with four seconds left. Down two points with one final shot, Georgia Tech committed its third turnover in the final two minutes as time expired.
Olivier Hanlan added 14 points for the Eagles and Ryan Anderson scored 12. Bolden finished with 12 points and Daniel Miller added 10 for the Yellow Jackets.
Notes: If Georgia Tech finishes ninth, the Yellow Jackets and Eagles will meet in the ACC's opening round Thursday. ... Both teams shot well from the field. Georgia Tech finished at 52.6 percent and Boston College shot 55.1 percent. ... The Eagles struggled from the free-throw line, hitting 14 of 25 attempts.

As of Tuesday, March 19, 2013
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
The Maryland legislature recently voted to abolish capital punishment in the state, making Maryland the sixth state in the last six years to eliminate the death penalty.
The primary argument for repealing the law is that our justice system is imperfect and it's possible an innocent person could be condemned. Indeed, anti-death penalty activists presented Kirk Bloodsworth, a former death-row inmate, convicted of the 1984 rape and murder of a 9-year-old girl. His conviction was overturned on appeal after the court found the prosecution had withheld exculpatory evidence from the defense. However, Bloodsworth was retried and sentenced to two life terms, a conviction later upheld on appeal. In 1993, Bloodsworth was exonerated after DNA linked someone else to the crime.
Death penalty opponents say the law is worth repealing if just one innocent life is saved.
Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, told The Washington Post, "State after state is deciding that the death penalty is simply not worth the risks and costs to retain." He predicts other states will soon follow Maryland's lead. According to the Post, 33 states still retain capital punishment, though "many are using it more sparingly than in the past."
In the debate over the death penalty some have argued that it's a deterrent to crime, which can't be proved, any more than it is provable that abolishing it will encourage some to kill, knowing the worst they will face is life in prison without parole. Others have argued the death penalty is "too expensive" because the court system allows for numerous appeals, a process that takes years.
During the debate in Maryland, Democratic State Senator John C. Astle told the Post, "The idea of strapping someone down and deliberately taking their life -- it was a little difficult for me."
Which brings me to abortion; abortion may not involve the "strapping down" of a convicted felon, but it takes a life.
Maryland's governor, Martin O'Malley (D), has been a passionate advocate for repealing the death penalty, but equally as passionate in opposing limits to abortion in his state. "I believe that it is an issue that is best left to the individual conscience of women," he told the Maryland Catholic Conference last October.
In 2008, according to the Guttmacher Institute, while the number of abortions in the U.S. remained "virtually unchanged from 2005 when the abortion rate was 19.4 abortions per 1,000 women...," Maryland, produced "a rate of 29 abortions per 1,000 women..." Maryland is a liberal state, economically, socially and politically. In announcing his decision to oppose the death penalty, Baltimore Republican Delegate William J. Frank at least sounded consistent when he told the Post: "I'm a reluctant convert to supporting repeal, but a convert nonetheless." Frank cited his "respect for human life."
Respect for human life should mean a murderer ought to forfeit his or her own life as payment for the life taken. Life in prison is unequal punishment. It is not fair to the victim, to the victim's family or even to the killer who has not received his or her "just deserts."
In the case of abortion, obviously there can be no sentence of death or life in prison for the "murderer." But that doesn't mean that Maryland cannot exercise an equivalent respect for life through laws that restrict abortion. Shouldn't the lives of the unborn also be spared a death sentence? If the Maryland legislature can stop the state from taking the lives of murderers, it can adopt restrictions that save the lives of many threatened by abortion.
I have often proposed a deal for my liberal friends who are anti-death penalty but pro-choice: I will surrender my position in favor of the death penalty, if pro-choicers support laws that protect the unborn.
It seems like a fair deal to me, but so far I've gotten no takers. This seems ideologically inconsistent, if they argue all human life is valuable.
The death chambers will close in Maryland for a few murderers, but thousands of abortions will continue in Maryland each year -- more than 1 million annually nationwide -- "sentencing" innocents to death without due process.

McALESTER — McAlester senior Heather Brozovich grew up in a basketball family. Both her parents played basketball in Steamboat Springs, Colo., and her older sister Holly played guard for the Hartshorne Lady Miners.
Playing basketball since the fourth grade, Heather Brozovich played guard through her sophomore year at Lakewood Christian. In the Lady Lions' state championship game that sophomore year, Brozovich's layup-free throw combination sent the game into overtime.
When Brozovich joined coach April Burns and teammates Meredith Saunier and Maddie McGowan in the move from Lakewood Christian to McAlester High School before last season, however, Brozovich became a forward.
"Coach Burns needed someone to guard the posts, and she knew I'd work hard at it," Brozovich said on Saturday.

After a busy offseason, the Rangers look poised to have a strong 2014 season.
Here are five of the greatest pitchers in the history of a franchise without a lot of great pitchers. They are compared using FanGraphs' method for converting FIP to WAR. The picture is regretably small, so I'll link to bigger version here and career path here. The first thing that stands out to me: Nolan Ryan was a ****ing robot. His first year in Texas was an 8.3 WAR. That may have been his best season, and I'll bet it was the best season ever from a Rangers pitcher by a wide margin. And he was 42. Ryan seems to have the peak value, but I lean towards Hough as the best Rangers pitcher ever.

Pineapple Tarts Recipe (凤梨酥)
Chinese New Year falls on 1/31/2014 this year. This is the first time I am going to spend Chinese New Year in the United States since the birth of my son. Today, I updated this pineapple tarts recipe and photos that I originally published on March 23, 2008. Chinese New Year—especially in Malaysia—is incomplete without trays and trays of pineapple tarts. Over the years, I have really fallen in love with these absolutely tasty and addictive pineapple tarts and I have tried countless pineapple tarts recipe. However, time after time, I come back to this recipe that I have learned from Fresh from the Oven. This pineapple tarts recipe is easy and definitely a keeper!
Two trays of buttery, sweet, flaky, delicious, and beautiful pineapple tarts were born in my kitchen. Thanks to my Malaysian friend Mandy at Fresh from the Oven, I couldn't get enough of them, and I am definitely saving this pineapple tarts recipe for good.
Pineapple tarts (凤梨酥) are commonly baked for the celebration of Chinese New Year festival in Malaysia and Singapore. In Taiwan, pineapple tarts or 凤梨酥 are exceedingly popular but Taiwanese pinepple tarts recipe calls for shortening and milk powder and taste slightly different. Because shortening is used in the Taiwanese version, they are also called pineapple shortcakes.
Making these pineapple tarts (凤梨酥) takes some patience, especially with the pineapple jam or pineapple tarts filling. The pineapple tarts looked so photogenic I just had to take a lot of pictures. So, please remember to view the complete pineapple tarts pictures above.
Below is the pineapple tarts recipe, which I have adapted from Fresh from the Oven. You can also make these pineapple tarts into different shapes, such as the open face flower shape. You can check out the recipe of open face pineapple tarts recipe here. Enjoy!

Your pineapple tarts recipe was very easy to follow. I am an official fan of pineapple tarts now.
We would like to feature this recipe on our blog. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com if interested. Thanks :)
I just made the pineapple tarts and when I got to the step of filling the tarts, I came across a problem. After I flattened the dough and was starting to put the filling in, the dough would start to crumble such that I could not wrap it back up and close it. It tasted delicious but didn't look as good as the ones you had on your website. Do you know what happened?
Hi, this is super interesting. I will be trying this next weekend. I have a problem tho. How do you grate pineapples, and how much is two sticks of butter? and is it unsalted butter?
Thank you so much for the recipe..xx
Also, your recipe did not mention when to add the vegetable shortening. I know nothing about baking and I would literally be following your recipe very closely! :)
headache… next time have to get some measuring cups back from Malaysia… Germany uses grams and kilo only… die liao…
CNY is coming soon, so I am planning to bake some pineapple tarts. How much pineapples filling do you put into each of the tart? Do you measure?
Evalin, the recipe makes 24 tarts, so you divide into 24 balls.
Could someone tell me how many gramms is 2 sticks of butter?
1 stick of butter equals 4 tablespoons
Hi, Could someone tell me how much is 2 sticks of butter please?
2 sticks butter = 8 oz. or 1 cup or 225 grams.
I'm a rookie!! I tried my first attempt today.. And I could not make a pretty one :( the shape looks ugly :'( Does anyone has a formula or video that I can follow to shape the tarts? Thanks a bunch.. BTW I prefer homemade so no machine!! :)
Hello RM, your pictures of those glorious pineapple tarts captivated me and prompted me into making my first batch today using yor recipe. I found my end products were too dry and crumbly, almost falling apart when applied light pressure! O.o
I have to admit I didn't use exact measurements(as in weighing machines), all crudely by using measuring spoons(in cups for the flour), but I did however use exactly one tablespoon of the vegetable shortening. Should I use less/more flour or adjust flour to butter ratio? I believe in trial and error xD
Can you give me the link to the Taiwanese version of this? I would like to compare your version against the Taiwanese version.
If I want to try to make your version with fresh pineapple, do you know how I would need to modify the jam portion of your recipe?
Is your pineapple rolls pastry recipe based on the pineapple roll/tarts pastry recipe at http://novice-baker.blogspot.com/2008/02/time-flies-faster-in-kk-and-pineapple.html? I was trying to do the math to convert from grams to cups. Is it correct that your butter to flour ratio is different than the ratio at the Novice Baker website?
Are the sliced pineapples in the above recipe unsweetened? I made a pineapple tart recipe from another web site, but the dough was extremely sticky and hard to work with (even though I had refrigerated the dough). Would I have the same problem with your recipe or do you have some trick for handling the dough?
Thanks for your Pineapple tarts recipes….i finally success and baked it on friday! it taste delicious!
ps have a look at my website:
Thanks for the recipe..I made it last night, and its perfect….
hihi. i made these tarts last night. it was good except that the dough wasnt stiff enough. so i can't really use mould to shape my tarts. is it possible to let the dough be refrigerated first before using? thks for the recipe anyway =D
i just want you to know that i tried this recipe and almost cried eating it (and i m not even exaggerating). I have not had this since i left brunei in 2001. I just tried a piece and decided to post a note here to thank you for posting your adaptation. I added the shortening and followed the original for everything else. it turned out awesome! *tear*
Hi, your recipes looks so nice but i've tries making the pineapple filling on my own for past 2yrs. eventually everythings turn out to be perfect except that the tart turns mouldy after few days… do u have any idea to overcome this issue?? i do understand that homemade are non preservatives, but was it because i didnt cook the filling till completely dried?? (as commented by some senior).
pls help
The tarts were fantastic. However, I would divide the mixture into more portions next time as they were bigger than I expected. After rolling them out they should be about 3/4 inch or 1 inch long instead of 1.5 inches long. They looked less appetising due to their size. Overall I give this recipe a 9 out of 10.
Hi, Great job! This is very much helpful for my research and i hope to run through more of your posts someday! How i wish i can see you in person so i can get to know you more.

I would very much like to try this out to "wow" my hubby. However I rarely bake, pls do tell me what is "shortening"? I hope I can I can make some decent pineapple tarts.
I like your recipe very much as it is easy to follow. I'm thinking of replacing the pineapple to red apples. Do you think that's a good idea? Any advice?
I have try your recipe and it turn out really good..
But I notice one little issue
maybe you can help me with it
I notice after storing it in air tight box . after a few days it turn so soft that when i pick one up it will break ..
What can cause it and how long can these tart store?
try storing in your freezer. That is how I keep them when I am in Indonesia
Do you use unsalted butter?
A lovely recipe. Thank you, Bee.
Hi Bee, I love Pineapples Tarts and going to try this soon. I bet it gonna be good as with all the compliments here. However, need to find out from you. If I were to add 1/2 tsp of shortening, do I still need to take out 1/2 tsp of the butter ? Hope you hear from you. Good day
May I know if low fat evaporated milk with egg yolk can also give pineapple tart glossy and golden colour?
I was wondering if you had any tips for forming the dough? When I tried to make them, they got kind of messy and gloppy. Not even close to how perfectly shaped yours are!
Ohhhhhh THANK YOU. I feel in love with this when I first went to Indonesia and everytime I go I cant get enough of them !!! I cant wait to try these !!
hi Bee, I also make pineapple tart for this CNY. here in indonesia, they usually bake with 140-150c until golden brown. with my electric oven, it took about 50mins to bake. very long long long time. and sometimes my tart is cracking.
can you help me to prevent the cracking? and I love your tart shape. and the color is very nice.
and for baking this tart, do you use both top and botton heat or just the bottom heat?
Hi, could you tell us how long to cook the pineapple to achieve the desired consistency please? Thank you!
I have friends coming over to celebrate Chinese New Year and wanted to try these cookies. My first attempt was ok. Not easy to shape. My dough was a little dry and I think I should have added a little water or more butter. I might have over cooked the cookies a little too. They were a bit dry and because they were so small I couldn't fill them with much pineapple. I think these would be tasty if I could add more filling. I know practice makes perfect though :) Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Hello! Just a quick question about the pineapple filling – should the core be removed? I'm worried that it might be too fibrous. Thanks!

Kong Hee Fatt Choy Bee, thanks for all your amazing recipes. Instead of shaping the tarts as per your recipe, if I shape it like a cookie and put the filling on top, how long do I put in into the oven for? Should I still brush it with egg wash? Thanks!
Omg, I hv truly died and gone to the Heaven of Tarts! I followed your recipe and instructions to the "t" – The pastry is buttery and crumbly with a soft sweet pineapple centre. The best baking I hv done and Bee, your recipe was spot on. Thank you for bringing a little bit of Malaysia into my kitchen. Now I don't hv to buy the commercial ones anymore. You r a genius and I am a happy bunny!
Hi Bee,

Obama Isn't Weak on Terrorists, But He Is Weaker
Polls suggest that most Americans agree.
By Peter Roff, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
"Belief that the bad guys are winning the War on Terror is now at its highest level in over two years," pollster Scott Rasmussen reported Wednesday, and nearly half of U.S. voters now say "America is not safer than it was before 9/11."
This shift in opinion, while dramatic, is hardly surprising.
The botched Christmas Day terror assault on a U.S. airliner has a lot of politicians pointing fingers and even more scrambling for cover. The American people are once again rethinking what the appropriate approach to the war on terror should be. And President Barack Obama and his team are headed for the barricades, with presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs throwing up one of the first with his plea that this issue should not be "a tug-of-war between the two political parties."
He wants the politicians in Washington to "resolve in the New Year to make protecting our nation a nonpartisan issue."
While laughable on its face—Gibbs and Obama made national security an uber-partisan issue during the 2008 presidential contest—it's a serious indication that the White House is concerned the blame for the most recent terror attempt will fall on their doorstep, something Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's declaration on CNN that "the system worked" is not helping to prevent.
To digress for a moment, there is some debate about what Napolitano actually meant by her statement. She later tried to explain her words were taken out of context—even though she said them in the middle of a live interview—but the damage was done. Much of the tough-sounding talk coming from the president in the midst of his Hawaiian vacation is actually an exercise in damage control, trying to blunt the impact of Napolitano's rather obvious gaffe.
In fact it is more likely that, rather than speaking out of context, Napolitano gave us a window to what she was really thinking, something like: "Look, the plane wasn't blown up and nobody—with the exception of the bomber and the foreigner who saved everyone—got hurt. So what are you all complaining about when you should be talking about how terrific we are and what a great job I'm doing?"
To return to the main point, the Democrats have been aggressive in their efforts to place the blame on the GOP despite Gibbs's plea for nonpartisanship. One Republican who is currently in the crosshairs is Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, who has had a hold on the nomination of Erroll Southers to be the new head of the Transportation Security Administration for the past three months.
According to this logic, without Southers in place, the TSA is leaderless, no one is in command and no one is making the critical decisions necessary to keeping the country safe and we have all been left terribly vulnerable—not just for the three months DeMint has had his hold in place but for the nine months it took the Obama White House to find Southers and nominate him to the post.
Senate Democrats want Southers confirmed without debate and without a recorded vote, which sounds a little suspicious and which is why, apparently, DeMint objects to moving ahead. If Gibbs was actually serious about his desire for a nonpartisan approach he would call off the attack dogs baying and howling in DeMint's direction—but he hasn't. If the nation's resolve and ability to fight terror has been weakened of late, there is another reason.
More than half the American people, 55 percent, believe the United States and its allies were winning the war on terror when Barack Obama took office almost a year ago. Now, Rasmussen says, that number has dropped to just 36 percent, which reflects the decline in the confidence the American people have that the Obama administration can do the job of winning it.
Obama has, at most every opportunity, downgraded the U.S. response to terror. His administration has changed and softened the language of the issue, casting the "war on terror" phrase into the ashcan. He's bringing terrorist detainees into the United States for imprisonment and trial, closing the facility at Guantanamo Bay and ordering them tried as though they were common criminals rather than one-time armed and dangerous enemy combatants. And his approach to our enemies has been for us all to understand one another and to come and reason together.
Obama, while not necessarily weak, is clearly weaker than his predecessor was. And the American people are beginning to understand it.

Lucy's Eastside Diner - Main street's latest boho-pomo diner
Years ago, Main Street was alive with truck stop cafes/greasy spoons offering serviceable, basic food to working people in need of uncomplicated, inexpensive meals. Spring forward to the present and we've now got themed restaurants based on the idea of an old fashioned diner, furnishing a trip down someone else's memory lane, and providing greasy spoon simulacra for urbanites. Slickety Jim's was an early pioneer of this self-conscious retro ambience, but a fire did them in last year (although rumour has it that they're coming back to Main Street soonish). Filling in the gap at Main and 11th is the latest attempt to make the old new - Lucy's Diner. Compared to Slickety Jim's, which essentially suffocated you with eclectica, Lucy's restrains itself with a version of the 1950s as imagined by Ikea. The space is small, even cramped. Most of the seating is around the bar with a couple of tables in the front and a couple in the hallway in the back. I don't think anyone goes to a themed restaurant expecting to be blown away by the food and, unfortunately, Lucy's does very little to confront this preconception. All the trucker standards are there on on the menu - mac n cheese, fried chicken, tuna melt, all day breakfasts, burgers - and it has to be said that the pricing is fair enough for what's on offer, cheaper than you might expect, even. I had the everyday burger deal, which give you a burger, fries and a milkshake for $10. All the breakfast items, soups, sandwiches, entres - are less than $10. In fact, there's nothing on the menu over $10. Now, this can be a little deceiving once you start enhancing your order with add-ons and drinks, which seem disproportionately priced compared to the mains. A simple burger will cost a perfectly reasonable $6 but add in some bacon and cheese and you're now looking at $9.50. Pop and shakes go for $3 to $5 and old fashioned apple pie goes for $4.50 . Our waitress told us the place is running 24 hours a day (quite a rarity in Vancouver), and they have a full liquor licence, so it's possible that the food will be taking a back seat to the drinks and what we have here is a themed bar with food on the side. Judging by the burger and shake deal, there's nothing innovative going on here foodwise; I believe the intention is to give you exactly what you would expect to get had you travelled back in time and set foot in one of the original restaurants that Lucy's is based on. This is not great news for those familiar with culinary standards of the time. I was hoping for a modern twist, or some ingredient upgrades, but there's no evidence of this. I'd say it's worth a visit if you want to enter the meta-narrative of post-modern, old-school, historical revisionism. Or if you want a cheap burger at a place that won't ask you if you want fries with that.
- Paul
for the ultra un-hip(like myself and proud of it) i think i figured out the "boho" part means but what might "pomo" mean?
I think the point here is that Lucy's is not actually a "diner" but it's a place doing an impersonation of a diner. With that comes expectations that the food will not actually be historically accurate since diners are traditionally associated with food that has neither style or substance. There's actually a real diner with real diner burgers a block away at Main and Broadway (Reno's) and no one gets excited about that. So, something else is going on here: At Lucy's, diner food is being served up to trendy urbanites in an atmosphere that guarantees that they won't actually be dining with the kind of people that traditionally go to diners - and they won't have to set foot in an actual diner to get the experience of going to a diner. It's a simulated experience and their culinary accuracy is no cause for celebration.

I don't need to anymore, thank God, but there was a time in my (student) life when 2am diner meals out were a real treat. Not talking about Denny's here, but places like Hamburger Mary's, Fresgo Inn were reliable spots to get kick-butt coffee and (cheap but better than fast-food) burgers & fries when you just need to fill that hole. Perhaps being 24-hr operation at Lucy's will revitalize the midnight-6am restaurant scene, one place at a time.

re: peter.v
re: LotusRapper
Hello, I have been watching shows like Diners Drive In and Dives, Top Chef, etc so this means am starting to be really picky about food. I dont know if this is a good thing, because basically you eat the stuff and live or dont eat it and die.
Was trying to find a review on a good hamburger joint in Vancouver, search for 1 hour and could not find anything that said HEY, THIS BURGER IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST So, I live nearby Lucy's Diner and thought what the heck. (Read that Moderne Burger on Broadway was not that great on more occasions so decided to crap it) Anyhow, ordered a double cheese and bacon burger for the first time -- got it to go. Pulled out the burger about 15 mins later, first thing noticed was the texture in the bun and meat -- looked good, was surprised already because the pictures did not look very appetizing. Took a bite and said, hey, this is not bad.
I would make a few recommendations to tell them to make the burger fabulous:
meat - medium
toast the bun
some fried onions (there were non)
2 pickles instead of 1
BONGO - you got a great burger, make sure it is double or triple because patties are not that thick, but quality is good
Oh ya, the fries - they sucked after 15-20 minutes - very soggy - even though they tried real hard by making fresh cut fries, there is a trick they need to learn about making crisp fries - they need to research on the internet - but they can start by cooking them a little longer and HELLO!!!! do this and they will be awesome http://www.ehow.com/how_2198470_make-...
Moderne Burger
2507W Broadway W, Vancouver, BC V6K2E9, CA
I'd heard of Lucy's and was kind of hoping for something along the lines of a 24 hour Deacons Corner...so my hopes were set pretty high.
I ordered a strawberry milkshake (very tasty, but also quite spendy at $6.50) and the Three Little Pigs (a sampler trio including bacon, chorizo, and ham bennys -- the traditional ham benny was the best of the bunch). My friend opted for the Black bean & Chickpea Veggie Burger with fries and a root beer (she said the burger was good, but not exceptional nor particularly unique, and it looked rather bland to me)
Admittedly, I'm happy to see another late-night eatery appear on the Vancouver foodie scene, but Lucy's is in desperate need of some inspiration -- both in flavour and visual presentation of the food.
My overall impression: This joint has potential, but it's not quite there yet. I hope that this can simply be attributed to growing pains.
re: curlygirl13
Thanks for that, curlygirl13. Your experience and those photos confirm my impression of the place. "In need of inspiration" is right. Although it has been argued that the lacklustre food and uninspired presentation are signs that Lucy's is doing an incredibly accurate impression of a old school diner. See this press release posing as a restaurant review at scout mag.
Most interesting is the discussion below the article where the author defends his fawning praise and recommends you go with "low expectations".
To quote the author (andrew morrison)
"It's diner fare. Not the organic, local and seasonal re-imaginings thereof, but cheap and greasy and fast and satisfying without pretense or over-reach. It is what it is, and I can't help but like it so. Go with low expectations, as you would a proper old school diner, and enjoy them being well met."
So, In the end, Lucy's is a theme park ride and it's clearly not for anyone interested in food.
re: tangentdesign
Thanks for sharing the link, tangentdesign.
If people want true greasy spoon without the 50s Diner Chic decor, they should go to Bon's Off Broadway for their $2.95 Breakfasts -- now that's good, solid, greasy food that ain't fancy but tastes good. Then there's Deacon's Corner in the next price bracket up, another great diner option and again, it's actually good! Sadly neither are open 24/7 like Lucy's but they're so much better.
It seems to me that by saying that bland food is the earmark of accuracy when it comes to diner food, some people are making lazy, half-hearted excuses for mediocrity.
re: tangentdesign
Jethro's exceeding expectations, even on the west side:
"The cooking's from scratch, yes, but it's refreshingly free of organic, local, free-range snobbery. In Stuart's opinion, there are already enough eateries that cater to that market. "The love is organic," she says sweetly of Jethro's. "Grub is what you get."
This no-apologies, down-to-earth vibe was shared by the other server working with Stuart. When I asked her if the orange juice was fresh-squeezed, she smiled and quipped, "Tropicana squeezes it.""
Finally an honest review of Lucy's. For some reason reviewers in the Straight and other publications are falling for this place or maybe they're falling for the press release put out by Lucy's.
I like the story behind it. The owner of the Whip opened it up and named the place after his daughter but everything Paul says is true.
I was disappointed in the food, the decor and the prices. There's no reason to here other then the fact it's open 24hrs. If you want a good breakfast there's other places on Main that do it better. If you want to adventure a little further away there's Sophie's Cosmic Cafe, The Templeton or Jethro's Fine Grub.
