With its smoking cage, stellar beverages, and classic atmosphere, this bar in one of my all time favorites. Their basil gimlet is the cocktail that pioneered the herbs-in-cocktails trend.
The opposite of cool – Walked in after dinner in great spirits ready to drink and have a good time but the bartenders were too busy trying to BE COOL which is hard to do when your bar is completely dead. I was a bartender in nyc a few years back and totally understand the bartender attitude, but COME ON! This place is not Studio 54, not even close...and the bartenders don't have anything else going on LAAAAAAME.
If you like hand-crafted coctails, give Rye a shot – The bartenders here are very skilled, and make coctails the "right" way -- they don't cut corners, which means your drink might take 5 minutes to make. They stirr, whisk, shake, and serve with care...basically, how I make my coctails at home for special guests. The results are really great -- in particular, I enjoyed the rye Manhattan, hand built and complete with brandied cherry (not some neon pink pseudo-cherry). Also enjoyed some other more exotic combinations once they won me over with the Manhattan, like a basil something-or-other (sorry, I forget, but it was awesome!) and some infused vodkas. I don't enjoy the crowds on weekend nights, but there are plenty of off-times I can grab a drink or 2 at the bar with less of a circus atmosphere. Recommended!
Don't go during hunting season – Well I tell you what, I have been coming to Rye since before it was Rye, back when it was old Buzz Leroy's place. Back then it was more of an opium den than anything else, but now there seems to be quite a few folks drinkin them damn fancy drinks and wearin thier damn zoot suits. So you can get a feel for what type of space this here Rye USED TO BE, im gonna tell you about the 1965 hunting season where Smokey, Mack, and I spent 20 straight hours in Rye holding off vampires until day break. We must have been there from Dusk Till Dawn! Come to think of it, it was a lot like that movie with that young feller George Clooney...I wish i could remember the damn name. Anyways I'd say that Rye is a damn fine place to wet your wistle, but ill give you two words of advice: Don't ever go there during huntin season and stay away from the bar maid Tina. She don't take kindly to havin her caboose squeezed.
Meh – the bar has a nice space, pretty drinks, and good location, but the crowd is way too yuppy, and trying way to hard.
Definitely coming back – The barstaff is incredibly friendly. It's refreshing to meet a female bartender that doesn't give attitude to female patrons--ladies, you know what I'm talking about!
They also have a great drink menu.
Tell your friends!
What a great addition to night life in the city – Very clean modern and perfectly designed. This bar has everything for everyone from a pool table in the back, a designated smoking area that is open, a booth and a separate large space seating area. The service is excellent. The bar staff/owners are probably the most mellow but attentive bartenders I have ever met.
Great new place...... – I went there the week after they opened. Since I am in the industry, of course I had to check out the new place. The bartender/co-owner was awesome. The drinks were great and they have a great little sitting area to smoke while enjoying your beverage and wathcing the people go by. I just would like to see earlier hours on the weekend, it would be a great place to go after work (3pm) and have a drink and wind down. Also a groovy/house dj would be another plus.
Swanky two-room bar lures neighborhood trendsetters and downtown theatergoers to the Tenderloin. – In Short
The front room of this airy, loft-like lounge boasts dark green walls, a sleek wooden bar, a vintage pool table and an oversized chalk mural of a street scene. In the spacious adjacent room, a rack filled with wine bottles lines the back wall from floor to ceiling, while sleek low tables and leather ottomans spill onto an outdoor smoking patio. The well-dressed, 30-something crowd quaffs specialty cocktails, such as basil-infused gimlets, as well as brews and wines.

Newtown mom pleased with gun control proposals

HARTFORD — The mother of a child killed in the Dec. 14 school shooting in Newtown says she's "grateful" and "pleased" with the gun control proposal that state lawmakers have unveiled.
Nicole Hockley had joined five other relatives of Newtown victims at the Capitol to demand that legislators include existing large-capacity magazines in the ban on the sale of magazines that carry 10 or more bullets.

" Why is it that we never hear about the Sandy Hook victims' families that feel these proposed laws are overboard, more then necessary and totally useless and ineffective? Why are their voices not heard...perhaps because they may be in the majority and do not serve the purposes of the liberal, gun-control Democrats? "

" They won't let us hear from them because the are logical thinkers and how dare they not over react and think on pure emotion! Just like the other day when Malloy sign this tough gun bill "with parents from the Sandy Hook shooting watching". Yeah, all TWO of them. "

Published May 29, 2013
By Jane Sander, KNDU TV
It is graduation season, and thanks to an effort by local school districts, former high school drop-outs are now earning their diplomas.
Some students who got off track in a traditional high school setting are coming to CBC to take part in the High School Academy and earn their diplomas. The Kennewick School District told drop-outs "We want you back" and students are graduating because of those outreach efforts.
Volunteers went door to door last summer telling Kennewick High School drop-outs to come back to school as part of a campaign to help those students graduate. Their simple message is changing lives and improving futures.
"An opportunity to say, we want you back, but hey you don't have to go back to your home high school. We've got a place here at CBC. You could finish up. You'll have your diploma. You can go forward. It's the best thing possible," said Lorraine Cooper with the Kennewick School District.
Three students from the We Want You Back Campaign are graduating this year, and seven more from the district are earning their diploma from the CBC program.
"Sometimes they have burned their bridges, if you will, in their previous schools. They may feel like they have a certain image over there that people will not allow them to get past that. However, once they come here it's a fresh new start," said CBC High School Academy Director, Leonor de Maldonado.
The Kennewick, Richland, and Pasco School Districts all refer kids to the CBC High School Academy, along with the juvenile justice system. Since it began in March 2012, 30 students have graduated and many more are on track to graduate this year.
Alisha Dowdy dropped out of a Richland school for a year before starting the program.
"Things weren't really going great and then here they helped me, tell me I have a future and everything," Alisha said.
She will graduate with her high school diploma next week and plans to attend CBC in the fall.
"It's kind of emotional since I'm the only person in my family who's really gone to college or anything like that," she said.
Kennewick School District plans to continue their successful We Want You Back Campaign for a second year this summer. They are looking for volunteers to help them encourage students to come back and earn their diplomas.

Killing The Cranes: A Reporters Journey Through Three Decades of War in Afghanistan
By Edward Girardet
Chelsea Green Publishing
418 pages; $19.95
Book review by Carl Sessions Stepp
Carl Sessions Stepp (email@example.com) began writing for his hometown paper, the Marlboro Herald-Advocate in Bennettsville, South Carolina, in 1963, after his freshman year in high school. He studied journalism at the University of South Carolina, where he edited The Gamecock.
After college, he worked for the St. Petersburg Times and the Charlotte Observer before becoming the first national editor at USA Today in 1982. In 1983, he joined the University of Maryland journalism faculty full time.
In the ensuing 30 years, he also has served as senior editor and book reviewer for AJR, writing dozens of pieces. He has been a visiting writing and editing coach for news organizations in more than 30 states.
Chances are, most people reading this review can name more reporters who covered Vietnam nearly a half century ago than reporters covering Afghanistan today.
Though some call it America's longest war at 11 years and counting, Afghanistan rarely leads newscasts. It didn't make the Associated Press' top 10 story list last year.
Given its costs, casualties and controversies, you might expect fuller scrutiny and public concern.
But as "Killing the Cranes" underlines, Afghanistan is a case study of two troubling journalistic trends: the alarming rise in the danger of war reporting and the continuing cutback of foreign coverage.
So, beyond its political and economic problems, this war also may supply an early warning sign of what happens to national attention and policymaking when the press curtails coverage of complex issues.
In "Killing the Cranes," first published last year and recently updated and reissued, veteran journalist Edward Girardet details more than 30 years of conflict in a misunderstood, divided country.
His story starts in fall 1979, just weeks before the Soviet Union's disastrous invasion. Girardet, "a restless young journalist in Paris, aching for a good story," wins a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation assignment to Afghanistan.
For the next three decades, often at great risk, he visits and revisits, reporting for National Geographic, the Christian Science Monitor, ABC News and others. He is occasionally arrested and often threatened, once personally by Osama bin Laden ("Who are you and what are you doing in Afghanistan?....If I see you again, I'll kill you. Don't ever come back.").
But his affection for the country grows as he moves among ordinary people and rival commanders, in embattled cities and forsaken combat zones.
The book is full of passages such as, "Suddenly an explosion ripped across the quiet afternoon. 'Down!' I shouted...A land mine...Walk only on the stones.." and "We finally reached the upper reaches of the Panjshir. We had walked over 400 miles, much of it climbing."
Some adventures are weirdly comical. He has to be rescued when a crowd sees him taking notes and mistakes him for Salman Rushdie. He's hauled to the Kabul police station for questioning by interrogators simultaneously watching Disney's "The Lion King" on a large-screen TV.
Girardet harshly judges "Western arrogance and ignorance [that] led from one mistake to another." He lambastes CIA decisions to back what he calls Islamic extremists over moderates in the 1980s and later American failures to support anti-Taliban alliances that might have forestalled war.
The U.S., he argues, fatefully overlooked Pakistan's role in enabling the Taliban. "It appears obvious," he writes, "that the events of 9/11 or the current NATO war might have been avoided had Washington taken firm steps against Pakistan for its direct military involvement in Afghanistan."
As for the U.S. war, which began in October 2001, he believes it was "'lost' by 2004 or 2005" and that "the country has descended steadily into chaos and insecurity that is far worse than during the Taliban."
These informed and plausible opinions are reason enough to take "Killing the Cranes" seriously.
But journalists will find another set of lessons.
Girardet's tale makes clear how much more dangerous, and therefore limited, war reporting has become, with reporters now targeted rather than tolerated.
Early on, he regularly "slipped into closed tribal areas for quick 'in and out' sorties..I never felt nervous about roaming the tribal zones."
Now, "reporting with the Taliban and other insurgents..is widely regarded as too dangerous..few Western reporters have taken the risk."
Instead, reporters typically embed with U.S. forces, limiting their contact with ordinary citizens and guerrillas and thus their ability to understand Afghanistan's many divisions and complexities.
All that, coupled with the drop-off in mainstream U.S. reporting resources, helps explain why such a costly, questionable war holds such a thin grip on American consciousness.
Girardet ends on an optimistic hope that Afghans can "find their own way again" and "all live in peace."
But his book offers less reason for optimism about wartime coverage, and perhaps about public service journalism in general. If war itself can fall off our civic radar with the press in retreat, what other vital issues face similar neglect?

Fantasy Impact: The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed winger Steve Sullivan to a one-year deal worth $1.5 million.
The Penguins get: A skilled, but breaking down winger. It's a short-term deal, so he'll do well playing with either Evgeni Malkin or Sidney Crosby - because that's where he will be.
Fantasy Players Impacted: Sullivan could not have signed with a better team. Awesome. This hurts some of the younger players, though, such as Eric Tangradi, Dustin Jeffrey, etc.
Potential line combos:
Fantasy Players this helps, in order:
1. Sullivan
Fantasy Players this hurts, in order:
1. Tyler Kennedy
2. Tangradi
3. Jeffrey
4. Pascal Dupuis

Stocks eked out small gains in volatile trading Thursday, lifted by materials, as investors digested the latest round of corporate earnings.
(Read more: After-hours buzz: Amazon, Starbucks, Zynga & More)
"The late morning recovery in the 10 Year Note helped bring back the buyers in stocks," wrote Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus. "The ability of the DJ Transports and the SOX to hold their respective 50-day moving averages was a plus as well. All the major averages, the Dow, S&P 500, Russell 2000 and Nasdaq Comp all slipped below their respective 10-day moving averages this morning but they have retaken them."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a gain of 13.37 points, to close at 15,555.61, led by Chevron. Home Depot and Microsoft led the laggards.
The S&P 500 edged up 4.31 points, to end at 1,690.25. The Nasdaq rallied 25.59 points, to finish at 3,605.19, seeing its best gain in nearly two weeks. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, ended near 13.

Meanwhile, the Dow Transportation index traded lower for the fourth-consecutive session, testing its 50-day moving average. The move could be troubling to Dow theorists who say the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Dow Jones Transportation index move in lockstep to reach new highs or lows. But when they diverge, the market usually goes back to its former trading range.
Most key S&P sectors finished in positive territory, boosted by materials and utilities, while industrials closed flat.
Among earnings, Facebook surged nearly 30 percent after the social-networking giant posted stellar quarterly results and nearly 20 brokerages raised their price targets on the stock. The stock traded at its best level since last May and is about 10 percent from hitting its IPO price of $38. A shocking 230 million shares have traded hands so far, the largest since the company went public last May.

General Motors earnings expectations, helped by strong demand in North America and cost cutting in Europe. But shares of the U.S. automaker finished largely unchanged. Dow component 3M edged past earnings expectations and backed its full-year profit forecast. But shares of the diversified manufacturer still declined.
PulteGroup tumbled to lead the S&P 500 laggards after the homebuilder missed Wall Street expectations and the company said the number of homes booked dropped 12 percent. Rival D.R. Horton, meanwhile, reported better-than-expected earnings as it sold more units at higher prices. But shares still fell sharply.
Crocs plunged after the footwear manufacturer posted quarterly results that fell short of expectations and handed in current-quarter outlook that sharply missed expectations.
"A lot of market-moving day-to-day moves are based on earnings hits versus misses, but I look at overall earnings growth," said Karyn Cavanaugh, market strategist with ING U.S. Investment Management. "So far, we're up 5 percent, versus 3 percent last quarter, so this is a testament to American companies and their ability to get over these hurdles."
Amazon.com, Expedia, Zynga, and Starbucks are notable companies slated to post earnings after the closing bell.
To date, more than 45 percent of S&P 500 companies have reported results so far this quarter, with 68 percent of firms topping earnings expectations and 56 percent beating revenue estimates, according to data from Thomson Reuters. If all remaining companies report earnings in line with estimates, earnings will be up 4.1 percent from last year's second quarter.
Looking ahead to the third and fourth quarters, Cavanaugh said companies haven't been lowering the earnings bar, which is an encouraging sign that growth will likely continue.
"I see the market hitting new highs for the year and we'll probably end higher than where we are now, barring any major global event or political wrangling," added Cavanaugh, who has a price target of 1,760 on the S&P 500.
On the economic front, weekly jobless claims increased by 7,000 to a seasonally adjusted 343,000, according to the Labor Department. Economists had expected a reading of 340,000 last week. Still, the four-week average of new claims dipped 1,250 from a week earlier.
And durable goods orders gained more than expected, with non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft rising 0.7 percent in June, according to the Commerce Department, edging past expectations for an increase of 0.5 percent.
The Treasury auctioned $29 billion in 7-year notes with a high yield of 2.026 percent. The bid-to-cover ratio, an indicator of demand, was 2.54, versus a recent average of 2.65.
European shares finished in the red with investor confidence curbed by a mixed bag of earnings from major companies and concerns about slowing growth in China.
And Asian markets ended lower, even as the Chinese government announced new measures to lift certain areas of the economy, including small businesses.

Awesome Italian Cuisine – The ambiance of the restaurant initiated my wonderful experience. I went pre-theatre and did not feel rushed in any way. My food was exceptional (I had the gnocchi) with the perfect amount of cheese and seasonings. Was a wonderful experience.
How is this considered good italian? – I suppose if your idea of 'rustic' Italian food is a plate full of pasta covered by a very thin, tasteless vegetable broth, it qualifies well. But if you actually like food with flavor, I can't imagine how you could possibly enjoy a meal here.
I recently had the vegetable penne for post-theater dinner. I was amazed at how bland it was. I had to ask for extra extra parm and pepper just to get it down. I asked for a different, thicker sauce, and was brought stewed tomatoes - JUST stewed tomatos, with no salt, no nothing. Pasta sauce from a jar would have been far better.
I won't be returning.
Excellent Food in a Very Nice Room – Excellent food across all our courses, with a fairly comprehensive and standard Italian menu. A really nice space comprised of two rooms, the back one might seem like Siberia but actually had just a more layed(sic) back vibe. Our waiter and the rest of the staff were very friendly and the whole experience differed from typical theater district restaurants, though it's also a bit pricier, I noticed that there were quite a few people taking tables as we left so the food can stand on its own.
Everything....Outstanding – La Masseria was Excellent! The food was terrific and the service, outstanding. My Fiance and I loved each course, from the stuffed Mozzarella, to the Vin Cotto & Ravioli, down to the Tiramisu. The staff even sang to her for her birthday... making the night extra special. We sat immediately and the food arrived just as quickly. Even found a reasonably priced bottle of wine. I'd definitely recommend La Masseria - it's a must......especially if you feel like enjoying your dining experience as much as we did.
best restaurant in the neighborhood – i work around the corner and go to lunch every day...la masseria is by far my top choice. i've had nearly everything on the menu at this point and have never been disappointed. friendly staff, fresh ingredients, clean atmosphere, etc. it gets its share of the theatre crowd, especially tuesday matinee, but other than that you can turn up and get seated immediately. nightime i've had similar exeperiences. can be pricey, but a very good value for your money...strongly recommended!
Feels like Italia – I was here recently for a company sponsored event and was very impressed. The inside has an inviting warm Italia feel. The seating outdoors is spacious and the service was great. Food was good and we really enjoyed their appetizers at the cocktail hour. Their wine selection looks very interestsing and I look forward to giving it a whirl sometime. I would go here again to not only eat but just drink and enjoy a bottle of wine on their patio. I found the staff very welcoming. My boyfriend and I were very pleased.
Probably the best Italian in the area – It's not generally recommended as a neighborhood to get dinner, but if you should find yourself having to dine in the theater district I would highly recommend this excellent Italian restaurant. It's a real jewel in an area where the food is often "just OK" and the tabs can get large. La Masseria isn't exactly cheap, but considering the area and the quality of the food, it's a real bargain. The pastas are particularly good, but the other dishes that I've had are excellent as well. They also know how to work in a crowded environment: the service was very good and the restaurant went from crowded to standing room during the duration my party's meal. Which brings me to the next issue -- this place isn't a secret any more and it gets busy. If you want to be promptly seated, you'll need to make a reservation on most nights.
enjoyed every bite – I really love this cute place . I enjoyed my plate and my wife's which I helped finish. I will definitely go back.
The Best Italian in New York – Hospitable, Clean, Food that is created to perfection.!!! I feel like I am in a warm italian dining room. Home !!!! That is where I eat when I eat at La Masseria
A vist to Italy without the plane ride! – Think Tuscan Villa with a splash of the spice of Southern Italy. I am a devoted La Masseria patron. Even when it is busy (pre theater) the food comes out perfectly. So good I wanted to keep it my secret. My husband is Italian and is very critical when it comes to food. La Masseria is now his favorite restauant in all of New York. I could describe the food, but words would not do it justice, you have to taste it for yourself.

Very sad because this wasn`t Bandit edp I have used to.This is very sweet, oriental and strong. Not dry, green and fresh like Bandits I have had before. I can`t understand why they have changed it, because the world is full of these oriental, candy scents, but that another Bandit was so unique, that nothing reminds it( maybe Jolie Madame a little).Three lippies because this new what I got, isn`t Bandit and because that another is so LOVELY!

Comments about Bandit Perfume:
Wow what a smell. Totally overwhelmed by its boldness yes so exquisite at the same time.
The only disadvantage is its price..
Fits any style as soon as you have enough confidence (the name depicts its essence quite well), and it gives also some structure to your look.

1. MEASURE YOUR HEAD. Determine the circumference of the widest part of your head by using a flexible tape measure.
Generally, the widest part of a person's head is the area 2.5 cm (1") above the eyes and ears.
However, we suggest measuring at a few points both above and below that line to determine the greatest measurement before referring to our size tables.
We also suggest testing the fit of a helmet one size smaller and one size larger then what the chart recommends.
No helmet can provide protection if it's too uncomfortable to wear.
If you would like further detailed instructions on how to determine your correct size please look at our AFX Helmet Fitting Guide.
Comment: This is a great helmet. Very light and comfortable. Need to order using the parameters on the CM guide. I was right on the cusp for sizing so took the safe bet and went up one size. My thoughts process was that I could alsways use the room for ear buds/phones on long trips.
There really are seven vents so if you do size up, the air will get in there and create lift pulling on your head. I really do love this helmet and would encourage anyone to buy it. I still don't understand how you guys get to my door in 2 days.

I'm sick of all online gaming & companies modifying dropratios so they work in a mass-environment online. So I'm now looking for an RPG game that deliberately removed multiplayer interaction; making sure everything and everyone plays solo only. As to keep it balanced, yet fun.
Is there a company that shares that vision?

Re: Looking once more for a single player aRPG.
Well, getting a 100% isolated experience with recent games is kind of hard - there's some definite "multiplayer" additions, regardless. However, a lot of recent RPGs and Action RPGs manage to maintain solo play with only minor elements of multiplayer that I think you may enjoy:
- Skyrim
- Dark Souls
- Dragon's Dogma
Of those in particular, I find not a lot of people have played Dragon's Dogma and it's really worth it. The only downside is it's console only. The only multiplayer interaction you'll find though, is that of the three available pawn slots, two are gained using other player's pawn characters. You can, of course, limit yourself to the "computer" generated pawns instead.
What type of gameplay or mechanics are you particularly interested in? I can probably narrow down my suggestions to something a bit more relevant.

If cancer is found in your prostate, your physicians will need to know the tumor stage and tumor grade to determine which treatment options are most appropriate for you.
Tumor Stage If cancer is found in your prostate, your physicians will need to know the tumor stage. Staging is a careful attempt to find out how large your cancer is, and whether the cancer has grown outside the prostate gland, or spread to other parts of your body. Blood work, the DRE, and various scans such as a CT scan, MRI scan, and bone scan can all provide valuable information regarding tumor stage. Your physicians will decide which studies are necessary. The stage of your cancer will strongly influence which treatment options are most appropriate for you.
Tumor Grade The tumor grade provides important information regarding how fast the cancer is likely to be growing, and the likelihood that the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes or bones. The pathologist assigns a grade to your tumor when he or she looks at the malignant cells under the microscope. The higher the Gleason grade, the more aggressive the tumor.
The most commonly used grading system is called the Gleason score. Each patient's tumor is assigned two grades that represent the major and minor patterns of malignant glands seen under the microscope. Each of the two grades will range from 1-5. The two grades are then added together to give a Gleason score (which ranges from 2 to 10). A Gleason score of 2 to 5 represents a low-grade malignancy. These tumors are usually slow growing, have a low likelihood of spreading, and are rarely fatal. Tumors that have a Gleason score of 8 to 10 are high grade, and are more likely to be fast growing or to have metastasized to lymph nodes or bones. Most patients have intermediate grade tumors or a Gleason score of 6 or 7.
These are medium growing tumors and the prognosis is generally good. The Gleason score strongly influences which staging tests are ordered and what treatment options should be considered.

MOUNT VERNON Ken Hammontree makes his first appearance of the 2012 Chautauqua season at ThePlace@TheWoodward (111 S. Main St. in downtown historic Mount Vernon) on Thursday. Hammontree will portray William Clark, half of the leadership team of the Corps of Discovery. Hammontree portrayed the other half of the leadership tandem, Meriwether Lewis in the 2007.
William Clark was born in Virginia, lived just outside of present day Ohio, in what is now Louisville, Ky., and served as a lieutenant under Anthony Wayne at the Battle of Fallen Timbers near present day Toledo. On July 4, 1796, he retired due to poor health, although he was only 26 years old. In 1803, Meriwether Lewis recruited Clark, then age 33, to share command of the newly formed Corps of Discovery, whose mission was to explore the territory of the Louisiana Purchase, establish trade with Native Americans and establish the sovereignty of the United States. They were to find a waterway from the U.S. to the Pacific Ocean and claim the Oregon territory for the United States before European nations did.
Opening for Clark will be the hosts of the Chautauqua Series, Elixir, presenting their own brand of musical mayhem and fun, this time focusing on the early 1800s plus a song Mike Petee wrote in honor of The Corps of Discovery.
Doors open at 6 p.m. and the program starts at 7 p.m.
On Feb. 23, Eleanor Roosevelt will be portrayed, as well as a recreation of a 1940s radio show by the Mount Vernon Players. For more information on this series and the new Music in America series, visit www.VisitKnoxOhio.org or call 392-6102 or 392-3018.

It's not often we get to take part in a celebration with as many unique touches and thoughtful details as Vish & Aalok's two-day Hindu wedding at the Eden Roc Hotel in Miami. All the careful planning was no accident. If you've attended one of their lavish Hindu weddings in the last decade, chances are you're not only familiar with Rose Events, but a big fan of what they do. When we first heard from Vaishali, Rose Events' founding partner and wedding coordinator extraordinaire, and learned that she wanted us to document her own wedding to long-time love, Aalok, we knew we were in for something truly special.
Vish & Aalok are an amazingly fun, funny, high energy couple who are self-described goof-balls. With so many unique and fitting pre-ceremony surprises planned from fun gifts to a scavenger hunt, we knew there would be plenty of excitement. A big highlight for us was Aalok's baraat, an incredible caravan of jet ski's racing through the Miami intercoastal just before the ceremony. What became clear almost immediately though, despite all the careful choreography of the day, is that these two also have big hearts and wouldn't be able to resist showing lots of emotion. Laughter often accompanied tears. So many memorable moments, unexpected, touching and fun, for these two "friend soulmates" with over a decade of history, friendship and love between them. We were honored to be a part of such an amazing celebration and humbled by the trust one of the industry's finest coordinators gave us for her very own, much anticipated wedding.

MOUNT PLEASANT - Basketball fans not familiar with Central Michigan's women's basketball program would think the team is entering the NCAA postseason with little national tournament experience, considering the last time the Chippewas made the big dance was 1984.
However, those fans would be overlooking the fact that two key members of the Chippewas– head coach Sue Guerava and senior Jessica Schroll– do in fact have quality NCAA Tournament experience.
When Guerava was en route to becoming the University of Michigan's all-time winningest coach, she led the Wolverines to the NCAA Tournament in 1998, 2000 and 2001.
"I talked to our team about the first time I took my team from Michigan to the tournament," Guevara said. "We were just so excited to be there, players were on the floor taking pictures of the NCAA logo. We went down to the University of Alabama and played UCLA, and we had 32 turnovers because we were so nervous."
But the sixth-year head coach of the Chippewas is determined to not allow that to happen this year, despite facing a Sooners team that has gone to the Tournament 13 straight seasons and has four players on the roster who were part of the 2010 Final Four team.
"Our non-conference schedule has really prepared us for this Oklahoma team," she continued. "We've played teams with the size, the athleticism, and the good guards, and we've played them at their places where there is a crowd and a lot of noise. But I told them to really focus on what got us here. Through the entire MAC Tournament that was our defense, making free throws, and maintaining our composure."
Guerava also knows she can say all she wants but the impact of a player who has been through it will be much greater on the team.
"As a player who has been there, who has prepared, who has played a team like Connecticut, Jess has been able to talk to the girls about what it's like, and help them understand that once the ball goes up, it's just like playing Toledo. For a player to say that is a lot different than it coming from a coach," said Guevara.
While at Iowa State, Schroll competed in the NCAA Tournament in 2010 and 2011. In 2010, the Cyclones advanced to the Sweet 16 before losing to future champion Connecticut.
"It was a great experience," Schroll recalled. "You get to play against the highest level of competition and it prepares you for the next season as well. Going to the NCAA's twice has prepared me for pressure situations and situations where some people might freeze or panic. I just have a lot of experiences that other girls on the team don't have," Schroll said of her NCAA Tournament experiences.
Schroll is averaging 28.6 minutes per game, which means her on-the-court presence will be very important for the Chippewas heading into the first round.
"I'll be a calming presence on the court, as well as through my words," she said. "I'll be able to get people excited while staying calm in the right moments. Basketball is a game of runs. We are going to make ours, and Oklahoma is certainly going to make theirs, but we are going to try and make ours bigger and longer, and I think my past experiences in the tournament will be helpful with that."
The 11th-seeded Chippewas will tip-off against the sixth-seeded Sooners Saturday at 11:10 a.m. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN2 from Columbus, Ohio.

Join TV presenter and keen birdwatcher Chris Packham for three days birdwatching in The Gambia in February 2014.
Sign up for latest news...
Last minute deals to The Gambia
Following last year's popular trip, once again you can join TV presenter and keen birdwatcher Chris Packham for three days of birdwatching and photography in The Gambia with the option of spending an additional three days with him at Mandina Lodges in Makasutu Forest.
The Gambia has to be unrivalled in the traveller's £ per bird category of holiday. With 170 species regularly seen in three leisurely days birding on the coast alone, and four hundred more waiting to be discovered further afi eld, this is ornithological nirvana. And many of the species are pretty exotic too; Rollers, Kingfi shers and Bee eaters are spangled spectacles whilst the dynamic array of raptors are truly impressive. Many others are simply tamer and more easily approached than in the UK so keen photographers always return home with a few 'trophies'!
It's only a few hours away, inexpensive, safe and very friendly. The food is fab, the sun shines and there is a great range of hotels, although I find myself returning year after year to the small, quiet and simply superb Bakotu Hotel, which is both comfortable and perfectly placed for birding. In recent years I have also found the wildlife haven that is Makasutu Forest to be an irresistible draw.
I've been to The Gambia every year for the last twenty and I can't wait to get back!

Dallas >Hair Removal > The New You Med Spa of Dallas
5555 E Mockingbird Ln, Dallas, TX | Directions 7520632.837221 -96.772685
Tue-Fri 10am-9pm
Sat 9am-6pm
Sun 12pm-6pm
Neighborhoods: Northeast Dallas/ White Rock
Best Botox! – I have tried three different locations for Botox including a doctor's office. My experience at The New You Med Spa was by far the most pleasant. I highly recommend it.
Easy, friendly, proffessional – Did my hair removal there and would do it all over again - except I don't need to :)
Fabulous Aesthetic Services – Love the professional but friendly atmosphere and treatments by both Kristen and Dr. Jeff - I experienced wonderful results from the Pearl Laser treatment - love their professional grade products recommended just for your skin type and condition - can't wait to go back for more "the new you" spa treatments -
Freckles BE GONE – I have always loved my freckles, however as I have aged they are not so "Cute" anymore. I had a consult with Michelle Littlejohn @ The New You, and I was amazed how comfortable she made me, and her knowledge of skincare was very comforting. After my first Foto Facial I could NOT believe how much Sun Damage came off!! My friends are already asking me what I am doing to look so Good! I told them to go see Michelle!!
My Bikini ROCKS!! – I went to the new Aesthetician, Michelle Littlejohn for a facial, and I ended up Lasering my Bikini. It only took 15 min, and just like she said in 10 days my hair just "Fell Out" I cant believe I didnt do this any earlier!! She is so perfesional and knows her Stuff! Rock On Smooth Bikini. I cant wait to go shopping for my Summer Suit..
Thanks Michelle!!
Love the spa and the medical aesthetician knew what she was doing the best results!!! – I have been to many medical aestheticians but Kristin is the best! She knew what she was talking about and what to recommend for my skin. I love my results, my botox looks great and I love my younger appearance the pearl laser treatment removed my age spots and really firmed up my skin. I will not go any where else and you can't beat the location.
acne scars and sun spots gone - thanks to IPL Laser at the New You!!!!! – I can not stop staring at my face!!!!! After struggling with bad skin for what feels like my entire life, I have found Kristin at the New You Med Spa and she recommended the IPL laser treatment for me. I went from having acne in high school to having serious sun damage in college. I spent so much time in the sun and tanning because it seemed like the only way to hide my acne scars and even out my skin. Unfortunately, what I was left with were acne scars, way too much freckling, and some serious brown sun spots all over my face. Now, at 31, I have been feeling like my skin was always going to be something I would have to hide with tons of make up. But after just one IPL (laser pigment treatment) I feel like a new person.... one with beautiful, clear skin. The procedure was relatively painless, and Kristin was so wonderful - she is so sweet and she is great at what she does. I am wearing about a fourth of the make up than I ever have since junior high and I just can not believe these results! Everyone that knows me has commented on my beautiful skin - words I have never heard before!!!! I am looking forward to laser genesis next to work even more miracles! You can contact me with any questions and i can tell you about the healing process (very short - 5-6 days) But don't hesitate to see Kristin at the New You right away - you will be so glad you did!!!!!
Friendly and Comfortable – This is an excellent med spa. Everything is first rate. I would highly recommend it!
Best Med Spa in Dallas – I have really noticed a difference in my skin, and Kristin is fabulous! She is very knowledgeable and has been very careful with my sensitive skin. I appreciate her honesty about the best procedures and products for my skin, and I am extremely happy with the results!

FINAL SALE Taffeta Beaded Empire with Short Pickup Skirt Style 639660D 16 16
I Said Yes To This Dress I bought this dress for my up coming wedding. I love it. It is just what I was looking for. February 28, 2014
Cuter than appears This picture does this dress little justice. In person, it's fun, flirty, and yet sophisticated. There aren't many good short wedding dresses (for those who DO NOT want a full length gown) but this is perfect for my tropical climate setting. It's sized a bit small so don't be afraid to go up a size. It looks more expensive than you'd think. Loved it. September 15, 2013
Destination Wedding We had a destination wedding in Las Vegas on March 30, 2013, weather permitted, it was 80 degrees. I was initially skeptical about purchasing a wedding dress online. I am so GLAD I decided to go with this dress, it was perfect, cute, sexy, and classy. I am a size 12-14 and the dress was beautiful on me. My (now) husband mouth dropped when he saw me come out, I heard some gasps and wows from the guest as well. I also purchased the shoes Metallic High Heel Sandal with Crystal Accents SKU: 65050582070007-254882 from David's Bridal - this paired up nicely. All in all, very pleased and have recommended this site for future brides I know. The photos are the photos below of me getting dressed, I will upload some more with the full attire. Thanks for making my wedding that much more perfect. April 2, 2013
Great dress Perfect dress for our reception! I love the style and cut. It will look super cute with my cowboy boots too. November 29, 2012

My middle dd starts back to school in a couple of weeks, and I'm mildly concerned about her placement at the upper end of a split-grade class this year. Normally I'd sit back and watch and see and stay optimistic, but she's now in high school where it gets a lot trickier to adjust courses and classes part-way through the school year. I'm wondering whether her default placement is really the best situation for her.
She's 13 with a November birthday, starting 9th grade, and with our cut-off that makes her the youngest 9th-grader. But she attends an extremely small K-12 school with just 45 students in the Upper School division (7th-12th grades). She would be in a split class of 7th, 8th and 9th-graders for the four main academic subject areas. Electives are all multi-grade, covering the entire Upper School.
When she entered school last year from homeschooling, she was well ahead of the school curriculum so she was placed a year ahead in three of the four core academic areas, as well as in a couple of elective courses. Last year she was in an 8/9/10 split, so it was easy for her just to work with the 9th-graders for those courses. She still didn't find much challenge, and easily earned the top mark in 9th grade math and science. This next year she'll be the only student in her classroom working on 10th grade material, so she'll be basically just doing computer-assisted independent study in a corner of the room. Social Studies (i.e. History) is the only course taught within the 7/8/9 classroom that she'll be learning alongside others. Math, science and English will be 10th grade level.
I'm wondering if it wouldn't make sense to ask that she be placed in the 10th/11th/12th grade classroom this year. Her brother (whom she relates to like a peer) and two out of three of her closest friends are there. She would have to do 9th grade Social Studies by working independently. But I think it makes more sense to do one of four courses independently in the older classroom than three of four in the younger classroom.
She enjoys school, it comes easily, she is serious and goal-oriented, top of the class and doesn't get stressed: she actually digs exams, for instance. And while she hasn't explicitly asked me to advocate for an advanced grade placement, I think that's only because she figures it isn't an option. She does keep saying "I wish I was in Grade 10" and moaning about not being able to go on the Grade 10 field trip to the Shakespeare fest (because although she'll be studying Macbeth in her English 10 course, she isn't "in Grade 10" where the field trip is integrated into the schedule).
My reservation, of course, is the age mix. I've always really liked multi-age learning, but even I can't help but wonder if maybe this is too extreme? She'll be the youngest by more than a year, and because of a demographic bulge of seniors, almost half the class would be three to three four years older. But they're pretty good kids, especially the 12th-graders, and the 10th-grade girls. And I honestly can't say the same about the 9th-grade girls!
Dd13 hasn't been tested for giftedness. Her older siblings were both tested at age 14/15 and ID'd as HG/PG. Eldest dd did very well with a grade skip. I'm pretty sure my middle dd is similarly gifted to her brother, though with a more school-oriented work ethic and learning style. The school has been really easy-going about adjusting her course placement to meet her needs. I don't particularly want to put her on track to graduate a year early; she's got her sights set on a medical, biology research or veterinary field, and I think she'd do best not to rush through her schooling but to broaden her interests and her learning while that's still possible. She's a year ahead in some subjects, but I think that will just allow her time for more electives and more AP-type stuff. So I'm thinking not of actually adjusting her academic level in anything, but just asking the school to give her a classroom work environment of older, more advanced peers for this year.
Any thoughts from interested bystanders much appreciated!

I have In Design CS4 installed on my Vista 64-bit for the past year. And recently I have been getting print selection failed, restoring previous selection (which defaults to Postscript) no matter what I do. Sometimes if I restart my pc it will work but then happens again. Printing works on other suite programs so I know its not my printer and it used to work fine for the past year!
I have tried to trash my preferences and all, but didn't help any. Can someone help me with this? This has really become a major pain for such an expensive program!
Thanks much
That error, as far as I know, means that ID is not seeing the printer. The first thing I would try is reinstalling the printer in Windows.
Unfortunately reinstalling printer drivers did not work, as I suspected, because other programs in the Creative Suite were able to detect the printers fine. I am fresh out of ideas and very frustrated as the printer detection is failing at random points and most often when I have an important project that needs to print!
This is not acceptable for such an expensive program
Please, any help/guidance would be much appreciated!
Is this a local printer, or network? It's really unlikely the problem is inside ID.
The printer is connected directly to the computer so it's local. Any other possible troubleshooting methods?
Try replacing the printer cable. Use the shortest cable that will work.
This is still unresolved and I am very frustrated. It is NOT the printer cable, I have two printers connected to my computer and InDesign is not recognizing EITHER of them, it just keeps saying Printer Selection Failed and will not let me select anything other than the default/postscript. Every now and then if I restart the computer, it will detect the printers, but this is RANDOM!
I have plugged and unplugged cables and it is still the same thing. No other programs I have run give me any problems when I try to print (including the other CS4 components. Only Indesign is doing this). What is going on??
Please help!
I'm sorry to hear you're still having trouble. Since the most obvious casues seem to be eliminated at this point you might want to try reinstalling InDesign.
Try running a "Repair" from the installation media (run the installer) before resorting to completely uninstalling and reinstalling. Be sure you back up your important customizations and presets first (you can find soome advice in the thread on how to Replace Your Preferences). If you decide to do a full reinstall, you may aslo want to run the CS5 cleanup tool: Resolve installation problems with CS5 Cleaner Tool
Hi Peter,
It used to be that restarting my computer would bring back the printer settings, but now it just flat out DOES NOT WORK. This is so frustrating. I tried repair, and then uninstalling and reinstalling Indesign and it STILL does not work!
At this point I am almost ready to just buy an Upgrade to CS5 hoping that the problem would go away but I shouldn't have to do this!
Can I choose to run the cleanup tool just on Indesign or will it be wiping out the entire suite? That's just painful as I have lots of presets and plugins on my order adobe suite programs
I beleive the clean-up tool is a "scorched-earth" solution -- nothing selective about it except the version -- but thankfully I've never had to run it to solve a problem here.
Aside from that, If you are thinking about upgrading at all in the future, you should do it now. You still qualify for upgrade pricing to CS5.5, and a CS5.5 purchase now will get you a free CS6 upgrade when it is released in a few weeks. http://www.adobe.com/products/discount-software-coupons.html?PID=21599 97

Quantitative Perspectives (Q) (4 sem. hrs.)
Courses bearing the Quantitative Perspectives (Q) designation focus on the analysis of data or models. These courses emphasize critical reflection on the performance, accuracy, applicability, and soundness of conclusions based on data or mathematical models.
All Q courses have a mathematics placement prerequisite. The math placement
codes indicate levels of mathematics preparation for incoming students. A student's application file, transcripts, and SAT or ACT scores form the basis for placement. The levels are coded by letters: H, A, B, C, D. Students may challenge their placements by contacting the Mathematics Department coordinator.
Students who receive a placement level of D must take Math 005, which does not satisfy the Q requirement. Students who successfully complete 005 are expected to enroll in a course that does satisfy the requirement; Math 104 is
suggested. Students who receive a placement level of C must take Math 104, which does satisfy the Q requirement.
Students who receive a placement level of B, A, or H may enroll in courses that bear their placement level as a minimum prerequisite. For instance, students with A placement may take B placement courses. Placement levels are listed in the prerequisite section for each Q course. Students who receive a placement level of H should consult with a member of the Mathematics Department regarding upperlevel work.
- To study varied approaches to quantitative methods and the critical analysis of data and/or mathematical models.
- To understand the applicability of quantitative reasoning to real world situations by using authentic numerical data whenever possible.
- To recognize the limits of quantitative methods in particular contexts.
- To read, construct, interpret, and evaluate tables, graphs, charts, data, and/or
mathematical models.
