You can try the
They have really fresh barbecue and lots of different sauces made from scratch. I always get the pork plate with 2 sides, mac and cheese and green beans. I use the eastern vinegar sauce they make, but lots of people I go with try all the different sauces. The start with fresh pork, never frozen, use a made from scratch rub and smoke in hickory wood. I think its the most tender barbecue I have EVER had. Check out the best barbecue in charlotte and you will be impressed.
Is there a reason all the posts here are so old? Is there a more recent version of the site or are people still reading these? Very curious, thanks.

I have always been a bit of an unorganized person, and it's no more evident than in our apartment. If it weren't for the efforts of my wife, our apartment would probably look like a nuclear bomb went off. I appreciate the value of clean dishes and clean laundry but if both were clean and in piles on the counter and the floor I would be just fine with that.
So it was with much excitement that I took the opportunity to review the LevelUp Zig-Zag gaming storage tower. LevelUp makes several different models of storage towers for the various consoles, with the Zig-Zag one of two designed for use with the Xbox 360. The name is based on the form factor, as from the front, the unit has very much a zig-zag shape to it from bottom to top.
Upon unboxing, the unit requires simple assembly; around 10 pieces that are designed to snap together with little effort with only the guitar holder requiring any tools to attach. All told, from opening of box to setting the completed unit next to my TV stand took less than 10 minutes. There are a couple of green bands that act as gaskets between the shelving sections and the top and bottom of the unit. While they do fit in between mating surfaces, they're clearly more design than function. The green is that of the Xbox 360 accent color, and it does nicely offset the black of the Zig-Zags plastic components.
The Zig-Zag is designed to support 4 standard controllers, a guitar controller, and either 26 games or an Xbox and 13 games. The unit is clearly designed for the Xbox to go on the bottom shelf (there are ventilation holes on the bottom shelf), and it actually indicates that the Xbox should not be placed on the second shelf as it could cause the unit to tip.
Tipping is the only thing I see as a potential issue wit the Zig-Zag. The base of my review unit was slightly malformed in manufacturing so it has a very slight wobble to the right if I lean on it while putting games away. I'm certain this is not a common defect as I did not see the defect in display units in local Best Buys.
There are a lot of things to like about the Zig-Zag, chief among these being the way games are stored. In so many storage units, you're merely given a place to stack games. While it is probably the most efficient use of space, it also means it's really easy to wind up with a bunch of games on the floor when you want to play the game at the bottom stack. With the Zig-Zag, each game slides into a small slot in the walls of the unit which allows you to remove one game without removing any others. The only drawback is that because the games are stored sideways in the unit, you can't see the names of any of the games without walking over to the unit.
The guitar controller attachment seems almost like a throw-in but it actually works pretty well. The guitar slides into a mount that holds it near the nut of the guitar, just below the head stock. Finding a way to store guitar controllers has been a problem since the games have been released and LevelUp used a simple piece of plastic to solve the problem. It takes turning the guitar to get it out of the holder, but it also prevents the guitar from from falling when not in use.
In conclusion, there's a lot to like about the LevelUp Zig-Zag, and with an actual retail of around $50, its well positioned for the money. The issue I experienced with the minor malformation of the base causing a wobble doesn't seem to be pandemic. Further, I ran my xbox for several days straight while completing Mass Effect, and didn't seem to have any overheats or other unexpected behavior placing my 360 on it's side on the shelf. Plus, the Zig-Zag takes up very little floor space and frees up space both in DVD storage and the TV stand.

I finally decided to upgrade my 1.0.2 iUnlock/anySIM unlocked phone to version 1.1.1. I followed the tutorial on http://iphone.unlock.no/. I downloaded The Virginizer located in Unlocking Tools folder in Installer.app.
This is where the problems began, Virginizer began erasing my baseband and then popped up an error saying "main execution script failed" as it was attempted to downgrade the baseband... I decided to run it again, same error - Yes, I had the latest version of BSD Subsystem installed.
I then restarted the phone and lost the Wi-Fi. So there was no way to ssh in either. I then, in a bout of stupidity I suppose, decided to restore the 1.0.2 firmware. Which worked (after activation); but Installer.app wouldn't install through AppTapp. I am running iTunes 7.4.2. It simply said "bootstrap error" and I had to restore again.
This time, I downloaded the latest iNdependence 1.3.1 and tried to activate. iNdependence simply quit and, after restoring, my iPhone is stuck in an endless loop at the startup screen. That is I see the Apple logo and then it starts up again...
Any help would be appreciated, I am very stressed out! Will my iPhone come back to life?

I used to think that First Person Shooters only belonged on the PC but thanks to the release of
last year, my perception has since changed. Many great FPS have come and gone in the console realm,
Medal of Honor
Agent Under Fire
and more recently,
Red Faction 2
. Now Eidos has decided to re-enter the realm with the sequel to their of their hit and miss first person shooter,
Time Splitters 2
you'll travel to different moments in time to retrieve the time crystals that have been stolen by an alien race. Now instantly I feared for my life, the last time I played a first person shooter that featured time travel I ended up getting stuck with the debacle that was
, I was already getting flashbacks. Thankfully,
manages to avoid the crippling blows that eventually did in
and in the process, deliver quite an entertaining experience that is worthy of finding itself in the collection of any devoted gamer.
Time Splitters 1
, there is now a full-fledged story mode that spans 10 missions over different periods of time. The first time I booted up the game I was given the impression that I would be forced to go at it alone. Thankfully it was only after a few buddies of mine had come over to help me test out the multiplayer modes that I realized we would be able to go at it together, co-op style. So thus we have the inclusion of what just about everyone has wanted, a story mode where two players can experience together. Thank
for bringing this feature into the light but give small nods to PC titles like
Duke Nukem 3D
Serious Sam
for showing that this is indeed an entertaining mode of gameplay.
The control scheme utilizes the Dual Analog sticks and for the most part it works. The left stick acts like your feet while the right analog stick acts like your eyes; it's a combination that basically mimics a mouse and keyboard combination. Each of the weapons contains two fire modes that are controlled via the R1 and R2 buttons while aiming is handled with the L1 button. Weapon selection is mapped out to the control pad but I found this to be far too clunky for a game that is often hectic and fast-paced. Most times it's very difficult to switch to the right weapon when your enemies are raining fire upon you. Oddly enough you can crouch but you're not able to jump. Not being able to jump really hinders the action quite a bit as it lessens your maneuverability as well as negating the usage of the splash damage effect on many of the rocket-based weapons. I found it to be quite a bother when I fell down a small ledge and had to run all the way around a level just to get back up a 2-foot ridge. I also found that aiming was quite difficult at times and it takes quite a bit of getting used to. The sticks just aren't precise as I'd like them to be and I wish that Eidos had included support for a USB keyboard and mouse.
The 10 missions may seem like a paltry number but it is their expansiveness that really makes them seem like so much more. You can select three different difficulty modes at the onset of each mission, which one you pick will directly impact the route you take through each level. Select easy? You can easily miss out on half of the level. Selecting the normal difficulty mode will open up new paths that have be followed, thus making the levels more larger and expanse than before. Each level requires you to fulfill a set of objectives in order for you to move on to the next. Afterwards you'll fight against a boss and then be transported back to the mission selection screen.
The levels are quite long, much longer than one would initially expect out of a game from this type. There are checkpoints throw into the level for a player to respawn from after they die but they are few and far between. Sometimes a mission can take 20 or more minutes to complete. Since you don't have any lives you'll have to depend on the respawn point in case you get killed. Often times you'll be teleported back much further back than you'd like to be and all of work you spent doing in the past 15 minutes will go for naught. This especially becomes frustrating when you've finally reached the boss only to find out that you should have picked up a more powerful weapon a few rooms back.

Cybercrime Marketplace Mastermind Sentenced to 18 Years in Prison
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that one of the world's most notorious cybercriminals, Roman Vega, 49, a Ukrainian national, was sentenced December 12 to serve 18 years in prison. He was convicted for his role in co-founding the CarderPlanet website.
CarderPlanet was essentially a clearinghouse - or maybe more aptly a Sam's Club - for stolen credit card numbers. When he was arrested, Vega possessed more than half a million stolen credit card numbers.
He pleaded guilty in 2009 to money laundering and access device fraud conspiracies. Using the aliases such as "Boa," "Roman Stepanenko" and "Randy Riolta" Vega conspired with others to steal large volumes of credit card information. The credit card data was then sold to people to purchase merchandise and services fraudulently.
"Today's sentence is a significant milestone in our ongoing effort to aggressively target and dismantle global cybercrime organizations that operate from every corner of the world," said Acting Assistant Attorney General Mythili Raman in a written statement. "Vega helped create one of the largest and most sophisticated credit card fraud sites in the cybercrime underworld a distinction that has earned him the substantial sentence he received today."
Vega was a prolific cyberthief. He founded the Boa Factory about 15 years ago to provide a forum for buyers and sellers to meet. A short time later he co-founded CarderPlanet. It became one of the first and busiest online marketplaces for the sale of stolen financial information, computer hacking services and money laundering.
"CarderPlanet became a premier online criminal bazaar in significant part as a result of Vega's leadership," according to the DOJ. "Most notably, the defendant helped institute a quality control system for sales. If a cyberthief wanted to sell stolen credit card information on CarderPlanet, the information was subjected to a vetting process overseen by a manager to ensure that buyers obtained usable stolen data."
But CarderPlanet also dabbled in e-currencies, such as WebMoney. "This provided the participants with security and a layer of anonymity," the DOJ said. "Vega and his co-conspirators thus created an efficient and trustworthy online marketplace for the buyers and sellers of stolen financial information not unlike legitimate e-commerce sites."
During its heyday CarderPlanet had more than 6,000 members. Most of them were Eastern Europeans and Russians. Extradition from these countries is often problematic - especially for savvy hoods.
Vega and his colleague were savvy hoods. They implemented an organizational structure that mimicked titles from La Cosa Nostra. The CarderPlanet was headed by a "Godfather." Next in rank were "Dons," including the defendant, who used the name "Boa" when serving in this role. There was a "consigliere," an advisor, the role in which Vega served using the name "RioRita."

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act Provisions (FATCA): Investment management
How the U.S. FATCA rules may impact investment management
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) withholding provisions in the U.S. Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act (the HIRE Act, P.L. 111-147) seek to compel the disclosure of direct and indirect U.S. investors in certain Foreign Financial Institutions (FFIs) and non-Financial Foreign Entities (NFFEs). Unless investment managers and their investment vehicles enter into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to find, document and disclose certain U.S. direct and indirect interest holders, any U.S. source payment, including portfolio interest and the gross proceeds of sale or other disposition of securities that could generate U.S. source income, will be subject to 30% withholding. Income tax treaties will not affect this rate. All members of an expanded affiliated group, even those without U.S. owners or interest holders, will be covered under the same agreement. Isolating U.S. investments within an affiliate that has no U.S. direct or indirect interest holders will therefore not avoid the negative impact to investment returns if an agreement is not signed, or if there is a failure by any affiliate to document and report. In addition, there may not be limited liability for the withholding tax due (the liability pierces the corporate veil). These provisions generally become effective after December 31, 2012.
For the new additional U.S. withholding requirements, investment entities will need to determine whether they or any of their affiliates are FFIs or NFFEs subject to the FATCA withholding rules, and review the impact to their future financial statements, investment returns and current client facing and offering materials.
Other FATCA provisions extend to bearer bonds, synthetic payments under securities lending, and periodic payments on derivative contracts. For obligations issued after March 18, 2012, the portfolio interest exemption as to interest paid on foreign targeted bearer bonds will no longer be available.
Substitute dividend payments
Substitute dividend payments on securities lending and repo transactions will be considered U.S. source if the referenced asset is a U.S. security. Withholding on U.S. source substitute dividend payments will apply to the gross amount of the substitute payment. The substitute dividend provisions within the HIRE Act generally apply to payments made on or after September 14, 2010. However, effective since May 20, 2010, withholding tax applies to such payments where either the withholding agent or the foreign lender knows that the principal purpose of the transaction is reducing or eliminating U.S. tax.
Submission of comments
Some FFIs may want to outsource their withholding and/or reporting function, or in an extreme case, divest from U.S. securities. Since the IRS has some discretion as to how the new rules will be implemented, financial institutions and their industry associations are currently making submissions to the IRS to request exemptions and provide comments.
Deloitte recently assisted the Investment Funds Institution of Canada (IFIC) in the submission of comments to the IRS with regard to FATCA's implementation.

She earned her place in history when her lawsuit against her former employer, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., led to passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the first law signed by Barack Obama after he became president.
Nevertheless, the Jacksonville resident has signed with a Hollywood filmmaker, who plans to take Ledbetter's story to the big screen.
Consider us curious as to how this will play out.
Likewise, allow us a moment to channel Gene Shalit and critique the Ledbetter film — before its cast is even set.
Our hope is that the movie will be more fact than fiction, more substance than Hollywood style. Ledbetter's story is stunning in its seriousness and its success. To give it anything less than a serious treatment and insight into the woman who refused to give up her quest for equal pay for women would be a shame.
News-wise, Ledbetter's story is every bit as important — if not more so — as that of Erin Brockovich, the California woman whose legal fight against a gas and power company's environmental pollution became a hit movie in 2000.
The Brockovich film brought needed attention to the difficulties of safeguarding communities against industrial polluters.
We'd anticipate that a well-made Lilly Ledbetter movie would have a similar effect and illuminate the unfair practice of paying women less than male colleagues.
Today, it's fun to think like a Hollywood producer: Who will play Ledbetter? Where will the film be shot? Will they need extras?
Chalk this up as more proof that Ledbetter's decision to stand up for her rights was the right thing to do.

The KHL team says Ovechkin's contract will last until the NHL lockout is over
Ovechkin passed medical exams and is already participating in training
MOSCOW (AP) -- Alexander Ovechkin is returning to his former Russian team Dynamo Moscow during the NHL lockout.
The KHL team said in a statement Wednesday that it has signed the Washington Capitals star to a contract that lasts until the lockout ends. It said Ovechkin has undergone medical exams and has already participated in training. It did not disclose the financial terms of his contract.

USC alum preps for career as plastic surgeon
USC alum preps for career as surgeon
Athena Castro
Athena Castro, a senior at Washington & Jefferson College and a 2009 graduate of Upper St. Clair High School, knows her eventual goal is to be a plastic surgeon. While many college seniors spent the recent intersession enjoying a break from classes, Castro, 21, interned at Boston University School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School from Jan. 2-Feb. 10.
"W&J prepared me very well," Castro, an Alpha Scholar, said of the rigorous experience.
She remains committed to pursuing a career in plastic surgery.
"You have to be very creative. I almost pursued an art major at W&J. (Plastic surgery) requires a lot of talent and you have to have an eye for it, be very precise and very intricate," she said, adding plastic surgeons are often referred to as "surgeon's surgeons." And while some believe plastic surgery is mainly face lifts and breast implants, Castro said about 80 percent of the procedures are reconstruction.
During her internship at Harvard, Castro said she arrived daily at 5 a.m. with the surgeons, even through she was not required to do so.
"They are able to see you're very interested. They saw me there every day at 5 and knew I was dedicated and wanted to learn," Castro said. "They knew I didn't know anything, but they saw I was so interested, and they wanted to show me and they wanted to teach me."
The experience solidified her goal to study medicine for the next four to eight years. She will graduate from W&J in May, but is not releasing where she may attend medical school other than to say, "I plan to pursue a career in medicine."
Castro is the daughter of William, a radiologist at Washington Hospital, and Sandra Castro of Upper St. Clair.

Move over Milwaukee and step aside St. Louis! There's a new Beer City, USA.
Asheville, North Carolina is now the hottest spot in the brewing world. The city can make its claim for brewing supremacy in the wake of the No. 3 craft brewer, New Belgium Brewing, announcing it will be locating an East Coast brewery there.
New Belgium's announcement comes not long after the No. 2 craft brewer, Sierra Nevada, announced they would be building their East Coast facility in Asheville.
"New Belgium's expansion will enhance the craft brewery cluster that is growing here. The jobs and investment the company is committing will be a major boon for the region and for the state" said North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue.
"While the overall beer market experienced a 1.3-percent volume decrease in 2011, craft brewing saw significant growth, surpassing 5-percent total market volume share for the first time," said Paul Gatza, director of the Brewers Association. "It's becoming increasingly clear that with the variety of styles and flavors to choose from, Americans are developing a strong taste for high-quality, small-batch beer from independent brewers."
While the craft beer segment is still a small portion of the overall beer market, it has shown steady growth the past few years. In 2011, craft brewers represented 5.7 percent of volume of the U.S. beer market, up from 5 percent in 2010.
The steady growth is leading more entrepreneurs to take the craft beer plunge. The Brewers Association counted 1,989 breweries in operation at the end of 2011, an increase of 11 percent. The BA estimates that small brewers employed about 103,585 workers in the U.S in 2011 and more breweries are coming online each month.
"We saw rapid growth in brewery openings last year, particularly with microbrewery start-ups, and these numbers are poised to rise even more in 2012," said Gatza. "In February 2012, we already topped 2,000 operating breweries — a truly remarkable milestone." Questions? Comments? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow Tom Rotunno on Twitter

Henry Thacker Burleigh, born December 2, 1866 in Erie Pennsylvania to free-born parents, Burleigh learned plantation melodies from his maternal grandfather who had been a slave. Working to supplement the family's income, the young Burleigh used his rich baritone to garner a number of singing jobs in local churches and civic events before winning a scholarship in 1892 to the prestigious National Conservatory of Music in New York, which was then headed by the Czech composer, Antonin Dvo?ák. There he took voice and lessons in composition with Antonin Dvorek. He also played double bass in the Conservatory's orchestra.
In 1893, he assisted Dvo?ák. Most of the work that Burleigh did for Dvo?ák was copy work, transferring the manuscript of Dvo?ák's 9th symphony for the parts for various instruments. However, Burleigh's role in introducing Dvo?ák to African American folk music was substantial.
Nine months after arriving in New York City, Burleigh appeared in two Grand Encampment Concerts at the Metropolitan Churchin Washington, D.C. as "the celebrated Western baritone.
At the Conservatory,Burleigh sang for the Czech master the spirituals and minstrel songs of the mid-19th century. So moved by his renditions was Dvo?ák that he urged the young African American to assemble and set down the folk tradition of his slave ancestors.
In 1894, he became a soloist for St. George's Episcopal church in New York City. There was opposition to hiring Burleigh at the all-white church from some parishioners, because of his race, at a time when other white New York Episcopal churches were forbidding black people to worship. J. P. Morgan, a member of St. George's at that time, cast the deciding vote to hire Burleigh. In spite of the initial problems obtaining the appointment, Burleigh became close to many of the members during his long tenure as a soloist at the church.
In the late 1890s, Burleigh gained a reputation as a concert soloist, singing art songs, opera selections, as well as African American folk songs.
As a music editor for G. Ricordi, an Italian music publisherthat had offices in New York, Burleigh began to publish these spirituals in 1911. In his 1916 collection, Jubilee Songs of the United States, he arranged the African-American melodies for piano and voice. It became the standard recital fare for the great singers of the day, as well as repertoire for vocal ensembles such as the Fisk JubileeSingers and the Hampton Singers. It includes Burleigh's well-known arrangement of the spiritual "Deep River." The success of these arrangements created a positive climate for Burleigh'soriginal songs and other choral and chamber compositions--over 200 works in all--including a setting of Walt Whitman's "Ethiopia Saluting theColors" (1915).
His works are recognized in his arrangements used in Henry E. Krehbiel's 1914 collection, Afro-American Folk songs, a Study in Racial and National Music, "By an' By" (1917), "Go Down Moses" (1917), "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" (1917), and an Old Songs Hymnal in 1929.
Burleigh also made the first formal orchestral arrangements for more than 100 Negro spirituals, including Nobody Knows (the Trouble I'veSeen)[2].Burleigh's best-known compositions are his arrangements of these spirituals, as art songs. They were so popular during the late 1910s and 1920s, that almost no vocal recitalist gave a concert in a major city without occasionally singing them. John McCormack sang a number of Burleigh's songs in concert, including Little Mother of Mine (1917), Dear Old Pal of Mine (1918), Under a Blazing Star (1918), and In the Great Somewhere (1919). In many ways, the popularity of Burleigh's settings contributed to an explosion of popularity for the genre during the 1920s.
In addition to composing and editing, Burleigh retained the post of baritone soloist at St. George's Episcopal Church in New York from 1894 to 1946; was the first African American chosen as soloist at Temple Emanu-El, a New York synagogue; won acclaim as a recitalist who sometimes accompanied himself on the piano; toured Europe; and gave command performances for royalty. Over the years, he performed for such dignitaries as the King and Queen of England and President Theodore Roosevelt.
Burleigh was a charter member of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) when it formed in 1914 and became a member of its board of directors in 1941.He received a number of honors, including the Spingarn Medal in 1917, and honorary degrees from Atlanta University and Howard University. In 1944, members of St. George's (of New York City) recognized him with gifts of $1,500 and a silver-banded cane. Later that year, he gave the fiftieth annual performance of Jean-Baptiste Faure's "The Palms" at both morning and afternoon services.
Burleigh also did a special broadcast performance over a local radio station, for New York Mayor Fiorello La Guardia. Illness forced his retirement assoloist in 1946. His son, Alston, placed him first in a Long Island rest home then to a nursing home in Stamford, Connecticut, in 1948. On September 12, 1949, Burleigh died of heart failure at the age of 82.
His funeral was held at St. George's and was attended by 2,000 people. The pall bearers included composers Hall Johnson, Noble Sissle, Eubie Blake, William C. Handy, and Cameron White. Burleigh wasbest known for his arrangements of the Negro spiritual "Deep River".
Burleigh is honored with a feast day on the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church (USA) on September 11.
His songs include:
- Just Awearyin' for You, w. Frank Lebby Stanton (1894) m. Burleigh, not to be confused with Carrie Jacobs-Bond's more popular 1901 tune to the same lyrics.
- I Love My Jean (Robert Burns poem, 1914)
- Jean (1914), w. Frank Lebby Stanton m. H. T. Burleigh.
- Saracen Songs (1914)
- The Prayer (1915)
- The Young Warrior (poem of James Weldon Johnson, 1916)
- Ethiopia Saluting the Colors (poem of Walt Whitman, 1916)
- Little Mother of Mine (1917)
- Dear Old Pal of Mine (1918)
- Under a Blazing Star (1918)
- In the Great Somewhere (1919)
- Five Songs (poems of Lawrence Hope, 1919)
- Lovely Dark and Lonely One (poem of Langston Hughes, 1935).
Burleigh was a beloved and respected artist, and his career and compositions did a great deal to breakdown color barriers and further the understanding of and appreciation for the role African-American music has played in the larger history of American music. His arrangements brought the spirituals and "sorrow songs" (as W.E.B.Du Bois called them) out of their earlier home, plantation, and minstrel settings and onto the classical concert stage, where they were performed by black and white singers alike.
His own songs enriched the repertoire with a deep sensitivity to text and emotion, as well as a singer's sense of the dramatic, while his career as a performer did a great deal to pave the way for artists like Roland Hayes, Paul Robeson, Carol Brice, Margaret Bonds, William Grant Still and Marian Anderson.
