Mai Japanese Restaurant Reopens! – Mai Japanese Restaurant Website: wwwmaicharlottecom
The owner of Mai Japanese Restaurant reopened it's doors again in another area, currently labeled Yotto Japanese Restaurant (name expected to be 'Mai' Japanese Restaurant soon). Their location can be found in the shopping center located at the intersection of Colony and Rea Rd.
Just as before, they still rank as my favorite sushi place to go. Everything is fresh from the Rainbow rolls to the California rolls, nigiri, sashimi, and the slices and sizes of the sushi are larger than what you receive at most other sushi places. All platters come served decoratively, beautiful and colorfully done. Even the unique Bento boxes and the succulent Teriyaki Beef entrees are made perfectly tender, flavored, and juicy. All the food is authentic Japanese food, made from experienced Japanese chefs, even their menu items are in Japanese names, but thankfully all items come with a description to aid those in the non-fluent.
I ranked this as 5 stars because of their brilliance of authentic Japanese foods, their perfection in the display of the food, the smiling and accommodating staff, and the mastery in their sushi. Even then so I'm pleased they still make their infamous Sapporo rolls and their unique pistachio rolls, though you'll have to special request them as they're not on the current sushi menu.
The previous "not bad" review was written after Mai closed. The restaurant, which was my favorite sushi in town, closed earlier this year. Maybe the last reviewer ate at the restaurant that opened in Mai's location?
Not Bad – The place is definitely not owned by Japanese. The sushi are pretty decent considering it is not made by Japanese. I will probably go back again for the rolls but not the sashimi.
Not as much fanfare as other sushi places, but some of the best rolls in town. – The Scene
With hardwood floors, clean lines, and plenty of light, Mai doesn't fall prey to the usual decorating cliches of Asian restaurants. This is even more unexpected given its location on South Boulevard location--the Mecca of cliched ethnic spots.
The Food
Lunch specials offer a lot of food for the money, and sample platters are on display near the door so you'll know what to expect. Ramen noodle soups are fresh and filling-- and no relation, thankfully, to their supermarket counterparts. The order includes cheese-and-cracker appetizers and rice balls wrapped in bean curd. From the sushi menu, the choices are uniformly good: Brave souls can opt for caterpillar roll or spider roll, while their companions can stick with the standard California roll or tuna. The only odd note is the inclusion of crinkle fries on the teriyaki chicken plate. (What's Japanese for Ore-Ida?)
Good food - WORST SERVICE – I'll start with the positives - there was no wait on a Thursday night, and the food was pretty good. I got the Chicken Terayaki - the Miso soup was probably the best I've had. My date ordered sushi. They brought my food out in a timely manner, and said hers would be right out. After 5 minutes I started to eat mine. After 10 minutes, I didn't want my food to get cold so we shared a little. 25 minutes, yes 25 minutes later, I had finished my food and she still hadn't gotten hers. Nor did a waiter stop by to apologize or tell us what was going on.
There were only a few other tables with people so it was not because they were busy.
I put money on the table and we left. We had a movie we had bought tickets for so she ended up having to eat popcorn for dinner.
I will never go back there and do not recommend it, no matter how good the food is.
Best so far... – After reading all the great reviews we decided to try it out. The service is HORRIBLE but the food wasn't bad. The one reviewer who stated that the food is as good as NY and LA must have really bad luck finding sushi restaurants. I just moved here from LA and MAI doesn't come even close. The tuna was great and the salmon looked as if it was stored on the counter for about 2 hours. The price is great per roll but the rolls are tiny so be prepared to break out the MC/VISA. All in all, it is the best we've had so far and I would go back.
best sushi in town – the sapporo roll is to die for ....eel crab tuna salmon.... a nice hot sauce served with thin crisp potato fries.... a meal in itself.. the dragon roll is another twist ...both these rolls are specialties of the house..if you get to know the owner "minisan" he will always try to accomodate your needs and maybe bring you a surprise every once in a while... the service at the sushi bar is excellent, and is improving in the main resturant...its a great experience in japanese dining
Great Food, Horrible Service – Me and several friends have been to Mai multiple times. Everytime we are there we always have good food but, are not provide decent service. On different occasions we have had problems with the staff keeping our drinks filled and seeing if we needed anything else. We would always be waiting on the wait staff to come by. It seemed like the wait staff was enjoying conversing with each other on the other side of the restaurant. Out of 5 visits, only 1 (Japanese lady as our waitress) did we have excellent service. Also, I would like to add that at most of these occassions, the amount of patrons in the restaurant was relatively low.
Good Sushi Here – I've tried sushi in almost every eatery in CLT and unless there's some magical experience awaiting me, I think I've found my regular at the rice-laden pesce Mai. What made this place memorable was not only the freshness of the fish and perfectly seasoned rice but the the pieces were actually larger than most. The rolls were inventive but just average. We had the spider roll, tempura roll, hawaiin roll and a few others. I'd stick to the sushi pieces. The salmon was amazing and the unagi was terrific. I can't wait to go back. I'm looking forward to trying I on East.
Excellent – Let's face it, whether you are a Charlotte native or new to the area, you know that good sushi is in short supply in the Queen City. Mai has an excellent atmosphere, authentic cuisine and very good sushi. I was a little hesitant to go to Mai at first due to the location, but once I started, I have become a regular. On my most recent trip, I was at the sushi bar when a large party of Japanese men came in. Watching their interaction with the staff and seeing what the sushi chef prepared for them (incredible sashimi presentation!) made me appreciate even more the authenticity of Mai's fare. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Pullman, WA (Sports Network) - Brock Motum poured in a game-high 25 points as the Washington State Cougars rolled to an easy 61-41 victory over the Wyoming Cowboys in quarterfinal round action of the College Basketball Invitational at Beasley Coliseum.
Abe Lodwick added 16 points for Washington State (17-16), which will face off against Oregon State in the semifinals.
For Wyoming (21-12), Leonard Washington scored 14 points and Adam Waddell netted 13 points.
Washington State opened up a 26-21 lead heading into halftime behind 47.6 percent field goal shooting. It led by as many as 10 in the opening stanza, but Wyoming finished the frame on a 5-0 run to close the gap.
The Cougars extended their lead in the second half thanks in part to shooting 17-of-22 from the free-throw line.
Wyoming was inefficient from three-point range, connecting on just 2-of-16 from beyond the arc.

First- Jessica is friendly, personable, and considerate. I went to see her because of the reviews here. She lived up to her reputation! She listened to me and then worked on my hair, explaining I-in detail- what and why she was doing the things she did. I'm new to 'embracing my curl' and she encouraged my choices. I will return and expect only better and better. Thank you, Jessica. I have a new stylist!
I finally decided to get my first ever haircut/trim. I found this salon/stylist through the Naturally Curly website and was not disappointed. Jessica put me at ease and made my curls look the best they ever have! I'm so happy with my hair and will definitely go back for future cuts!
It is SO great to finally find a stylist who truly knows how to cut and style curly hair! I needed to get a haircut to look good for a job interview. My layers were out of control, and my naturally curly hair was just a big frizzy poof. So when I was visiting my parents in the St. Louis area, I went to Frontenac Salon & Spa for a haircut, because of the reviews I saw on this site. I LOVE my new cut! Jessica did a great job on it, and she and the other staff at Frontenac Salon showed me how to work with the DevaCurl products to get rid of the poof and frizz! I think of all those years I have spent fighting with my hair.... It's so much better now! It looks great, and is so much easier to care for this way. It's funny... I haven't gotten compliments on my hair in over a decade. And now I'm getting compliments from everyone from a co-worker who also has curly hair, to the FedEx guy, to a handsome older gentleman who said my curls are "sexy." (No one has EVER called my hair that!) An ex-boyfriend even said he really likes it when I ran into him the other weekend. And my hair is so much easier to maintain this way. I spent the other weekend (when the temperatures were in the upper 80s) outdoors in heat, humidity, sweat, dust, and a pretty decent breeze... a trial for any hair style! The "new" style held up and was so much easier to take care of than my "old hair" would have been. I was even trying on hats one afternoon, and it held up and still looked good through all of that. And last week when it rained literally all week, it behaved great in the damp weather, instead of becoming a big frizz-ball. Thanks so much to Jessica and the staff at Frontenac Salon for the great haircut and the education about how to handle my curls! I wish I could fly back to St. Louis every time I need a haircut. I will go see them any time I'm back in the area!
I was looking for someone to cut my curly hair because it had a lot of heat damage. I was originally worried about the length of my hair after the cut, but Jessica made it look amazing! My curls look better than ever! The prices are very reasonable and affordable. You get a free consultation, a cut and style! I don't have anything bad to say about this salon or Jessica because my experience was wonderful. If you are looking for someone who specializes in curly hair, Jessica is who you want to see!

I don't have anything bad to say about this salon or Jessica because my experience was wonderful. If you are looking for someone who specializes in curly hair, Jessica is who you want to see!
Jessica is Awesome! She took the time to understand my hair and understand my goals for my hair (growing it out and not going 500 miles every few months to get it cut). I am trying to go every 4 to 5 months to get it cut so that it grows out a bit. It is several months later and still looks great! I have a 3B curl pattern for the most part.
Jessica was great. She took me through all the steps and how to use the products and cut my hair very well. I waited 3 weeks to post this review b/c my hair often fights haircuts or it looks great at the salon and then awful at home. Thank goodness this never happened! It has been wonderful since the day Jessica cut it!!
Jessica is amazing! Took time out to talk to me about my hair, gave me a plan to get where I want to go (my hair was cut to short by someone else) and a great cut!! Thank you Jessica. HIGHLY recommend. Sincerely, Beth
Jessica is great! She took the time to talk to me about the cut and the steps she was going to make to ensure I would have the best experience possible. The review of the products being used and a step by step tutorial on how to use the products was also given by another stylist, Erica. I have never been a salon that took the time to educate you in the way that they did. I really appreciated the service, the prices, and the cut is amazing!
I have been seeing a Deva stylist in the Chicagoland area for the past few years - this is the only way for those of us with kinky curly hair to maintain control of our curls. In recent months my stylist has gained so many clients that it makes it a bit hard to get that last minute appointment. While traveling to the St. Louis area I checked the naturally curly site and was thrilled to find the Frontenac location. I called and even though I had a tight window to be seen they accommodated my request. I was scheduled for an early morning appointment. Everyone was prompt and professional. Jessica speaks frankly and directly so keep this in mind - she will lay it on the line with regard to your hair condition and treatment needed. Overall I feel I received top notch treatment and the cut was amazing. I cannot wait for my next visit to St. Louis - This will be my first stop!
I could not disagree more with the last post and am so glad I found Frontenac Salon! The salon is quaint, personal, and very welcoming. Jessica listened and asked questions about what I was looking for and did not pick up her scissors until we were on the same page. I have always struggled with my wavy hair being weighed down with no body, but I left that day with my hair looking the best it ever has and I haven't had to blow-dry it since. I also love the Deva products and just wish I had found them (and the salon) a decade ago! I went back for highlights the next week and LOVE them. The prices are pretty much what I have paid elsewhere (actually, I've paid more for a so-called "curly cut")... I was actually expecting them to be higher since they are in Frontenac and was pleasantly surprised. Another thing worth mentioning is that they seem to keep the Deva products fully stocked, which I have found is not the case at a couple of the larger chains that sell it. And if you buy 3, they give you a discount, which is pretty great! I could not be happier to have finally found a place that I will recommend to anyone and everyone.
First I would like to say if you are expecting a top notch experience from this salon then you may want to look elsewhere. For the prices that they charge here I feel you should get nothing but personalized service while you are there. I had my hair colored and higlighted then cut by Jessica whom proceeded to work on at least 4 other clients at the same time she was working on my hair. She is a hyper person and constantly flits from one person to the next without washing her hands,nor does she come back in the time she says your color needs to stay on as she is too busy working on someone other than you. If I am going to spend $200 in a salon then I expect to only have my stylist working on ME! I also felt the salon is very dated looking and frankly a bit dirty. Not what I would expect in this neighborhood. They don't even bother to take your coat for you, they just vaguely wave you toward a changing area that also has seen way better days. Despite this I decided to try Jessica for a second chance. As soon as I arrived I told her I haad a problem with the color she put one washing out within 2 weeks. I had shared with her on my first visit that temporary colors do not seem to adhere to my hair so I was not wild about her appying one on mine but she insisted. So when I complained that the color faded out very fast she told me about a treatment that she wanted to try that would cost even more money and was also temp color. I was a bit dismayed that she would want to not only re-do what did not work the first time but charge me even more??? When I expressed my concerns she seemed embarrassed and aggravated with me and pretty much acted as if I was making this up. SO needless to say that will be my Last visit to Jessica at this salon. I wish everyone that wrote reviews here would be as honest as I have been.
Jessica is the second curly stylist that I have been to and she is great! She really took the time to understand how I like to wear (and style) my hair. She cut my hair dry and a second time wet, and it was a great cut. After a few days, I thought some of the layers in the back were a little too short, so I went back and she fixed it in a few minutes (no charge). I'm definitely going back again!
Jessica is the 3rd curly stylist I have been to, and I thought she did a great job! She made sure to go through each step of the Deva process to make sure I was on the same page with her. She gave me great tips to make my curls look great!!
Yaaay, I found my new hair stylist!!! My experience at this salon was fantastic! Not only did I appreciate Jessica's kindness, but also her knowledge and experience. I left my hair in her hands and told her to do with it as she will and I'm sooo glad I did because I left the salon feeling like a million bucks! The cut was fabulous and my curls have never been more defined and healthy looking. My experience surpassed all expectations. I have never left a salon thinking "this is my new salon," but I can definitely say that I will not be going anywhere else for my cuts.
Jessica took time with my hair and truly listened to what I wanted, she not only styles and cuts your hair she explains to you what she is doing every step along the way so you can replicate the style at home. Every tip she gave me was extremely helpful! I could not be happier with my hair!!!
For the first time in (60) years, I have had a cut and style that is "ME"!!!! Thank God he allowed me to find Jessica, I don't know what I would be doing without her. She was truly "Heaven Sent". Curly girls have no where to go without the knowledge of how to work with curly hair. This salon excells. I can only hope and pray that there is one on the east side very soon. Thank you for listening.
Having recently moved to St. Louis with naturally curly hair, I was looking for someone who could give a good cut along with great colour...and I found my new favourite in Jessica at Frontenac Salon! Jessica and the staff at the salon were very friendly and took the time to teach me how to love my curls using Deva product. Jessica talked with me first and made some recommendations, explaining everything as she went. A couple of hours later I was leaving the salon with gorgeous colour (that was less harsh than my previous salon!) and a fantastic new cut of stylish curls! I'm hooked...I've already made my next appointment with Jessica and you should too!
I had my first curly cut today and it turned out amazing. Jessica did such a great job and took her time explaining how to use Deva Curl product and style my hair. I love it so much that I can't imagine taking the time to straighten it again :-) I am a loyal client and have already recommended her to my curly headed friends. Every stylist at the salon is super friendly which is definitely a bonus.
I have been to other supposedly curly salons in St. Louis, but those stylists just tolerated my hair. They didn't love it, and they certainly lacked the skill or passion to style it properly. Not so with Jessica and Frontenac Salon and Spa. These people love my curly hair as much as I do, and for once, a stylist listened to what I wanted. I have always wanted a daring short curly haircut, but no stylist before ever came close to what Jessica did for me. I felt like a movie star afterwards. I didn't have to run home to wet it again and restyle it. Actually, for the first time, I try my best every day to mimic the way Jessica styled it for me. I won't go anywhere else again.
I have very naturally curly hair and have never been able to find a stylist who actually knew how to cut and style my hair...until now. Jessica is amazing!!! She had so much knowledge to share with me about how to help my curls look their best and on top of that also gave me an amazing hair cut. The salon is beautiful and the stylist are so friendly and caring, I felt like Kim and Jessica were two of my best girl friends that I had known forever. I have never felt comfortable having shorter hair because I always ended up with a big poof ball. Jessica has changed that. I love my new very stylish "no poof" hair cute!!! I would recommend this salon to anyone who is looking to stop fighting their curls and needs the help to embrace and love them :):)
Like most women, my hair style is a very personal thing and I don't let just anyone near my hair. Kim and her staff are very welcoming, reassuring and professional. Each and every time I go to Frontenac Salon & Spa, I'm so impressed with the level of expertise and am always so HAPPY with my hair when I leave. I have recommended them to many of my friends.
I went to this salon from a recommendation by a friend. I have been very cautious about who I let cut my hair because it is a lot to deal with. I found the service and expertise fantastic. My stylist was super helpful and very knowledgeable about how to take care of curly hair in various useful situations (e.g. swimming). I would strongly recommend this salon to anyone, male or female, who is interested in getting a great curly-haired haircut.
I have not gotten a worse haircut since I started going to curly hair specialists. I used to think I had the prettiest hair of anyone I know, and now I am so embarassed by it that I wear it straight, pulled back in a ponytail. Casey cut my hair in two layers: a short one and a long one. It's like having a 10-year old boy's bowl cut, with a little extra. Kim tried to fix it and agreed that the only thing to do is let it grow. Oh, and the ends are so feathered that it looks like my hair got stuck in a disposal. V-Vegaz is, without a doubt, the only place I will trust anyone with my hair again. When I leave there, I feel great about myself. When I left Frontenac Salon & Spa, I cried and went home to find a hat.
I recived Jessica's card from someone I'd never met who was passing it along because they saw I I had naturally curly hair and they did too and said it changed there life. I was suprised and taken off gaurd at first but as a curly girl I couldn't help but be intriuged so I checked out the web site. All the stylists had beautiful natural curls so I called to find out more. The recptionist was so pleasent and I was offered a free curl consulation. I booked and appointment and was pleasently suprised. Jessica had so much knoweldge about curls and took tons of time to make sure I understood everything I needed to know even though I could tell she was very busy. I felt so at home in their beautiful salon and the staff were all so nice!! I had to share with everyone my experince b/c I've never been somewhere when I felt so comfortable and got so much great info about my curls. I'll for sure be back to see Jessica and the girls at Frontenac Salon. Check out there web site and give them a call for your free consultation!! WWW.Callingallcurls.com
I found Frontenac salon from there website while I was searching for Devacurl products in St Louis. I had an appointment with Jessica but once I was in the salon had help from Jamie and Kim too. It was an awesome experience to be in a salon where most of the stylists have so much knoweldge and trianing with curly hair. Plus they all have curls themselves. I strongly suggest that you go see one of these stylists. Thanks girls!!
The crew at Frontenac Salon is fabulous! They use DevaCurl products and have been trained by Lorraine Massey in how to treat and cut curly hair - it makes such a difference. My stylist, Jessica, gave me loads of information about how to use the products and style my hair - she even gave me a set of duckbill clips to style my hair with at home! It is so refreshing to go to a salon where most of the stylists have GORGEOUS natural curls - this is the place to go if you want truly beautiful, natural curls. It quite a drive for me, but I wouldn't go anyplace else.
Frontenac Salon is a charming, cutting edge, full service salon. Owner Kim Wicks,along with most of her staff have been trained once or twice by Lorraine Massey and curlaborations. Kim is as passionate about her curls as she will be yours. Great curly cuts. Great advice. Great product. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment.

I was born in Provo Utah, and I have lived all over Utah, California, and in Nevada growing up. I was living in Sandy, UT, before I left on my mission. Oddworld, Brand New, Kurt Vonnegut, George Mélies, technology, and countless other classics and alternative thingys I like! To me the concept of progression is very important. I love the process of change and repentance the Gospel brings, and strive for bigger things.
I'm 'Mormon,' because I've lived it, and it works. 'nuff said?
Have you ever had a book, tv show, movie, videogame, anything at all, that has meant so much to you in your life that you had to share it with everyone? A mission is that times 1000. I am on a mission because I love this gospel. I know it's true. It offers salvation. Why wouldn't I want to share that with everyone I could?
I used to think that I could prove the Book of Mormon to be true, which appealed to me as a logical person. But it wasn't until being on my mission that I started seriously, deeply reading and pondering. And when I really took a leap of faith to live the principles in it. my testimony grew so much. For me, there are three Pillars of Testimony in the Book of Mormon Logic, Experience, and Spirituality.
I couldn't even count all of the prayers I've had answered. Everything from finding something that is to straight-miracles. Prayer works as a way to remember our blessings, get help, and meditation to receive answers.
I am currently serving a mission for the Church. I have been called to serve in the Paris, France Mission, and I will return home on March 24, 2012. This is the ultimate experience of living my faith. I don't get paid, I actually pay for it, And I donate every waking minute to teaching and learning the gospel of Jesus Christ.

[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
So back to the OP's question. I have posted what Gary said in another thread:
If my B1 cycle is set to 10 minutes, unplugging the valve to make it backwash for 15-20 minutes makes sense if you really want to stir the resin and get all the loose junk off.
But if my BD cycle is set for 60, and I wait 10 minutes into the cycle to draw the SIO/brine into the resin, then unplug it... what will happen is it will draw SIO/brine under power for 10 minutes, then draw SIO/brine for 20 minutes (or until the air check is hit), and when I plug it back in, I still have 50 minutes remaining on that position (valve remembers last position at time of power interruption). So what I am doing is basically extending the BD cycle by 20 minutes, all the while either SIO/brine is flowing thru the resin, or rinse water is... wouldn't it make more sense to draw for 10 mins, unplug the valve and bypass the water flow, allowing more time for the SIO to contact and work on the iron? Then when ready (20 minutes later, or 3 hours later, whichever one prefers for contact time), put the valve back in service, plug in the valve, and let the cycle finish?
I can see where introducing SIO on a regular basis might not make more contact time necessary, particularly if one follows the instructions for SIO use, but it seems to me that more contact time in resin that has gone untreated for some time would only remove more iron than just letting some flow thru without stopping.
Flame suit on...
The context of your use of "oversaturated" was concerning salt brine in the salt tank of a water softener.
You can not "oversaturate" salt brine. Well UNLESS you are talking about the undissolved salt in the tank. You can't "oversaturate" a glass or pitcher of sweetened ice tea either, unless you're talking about the undissolved sugar laying in the bottom of the glass or pitcher.
In this air injection iron system the precipitation is not happening fully before he is sending the water out to his filter. That happens when there is insufficient TIME (retention) for the oxidation to complete and the solids to fall out of the solution/water exiting the tank. The incomplete precipitation is OK because Birm is an excellent sediment filter mineral but, if it loads up with rust, it can not "enhance" the remaining need for more oxidation and that allows ferrous iron out of the filter into his softener. Probably along with some of the precipitates (ferric iron/rust) to foul the resin.
Their only way to get around using a retention tank is to inject chlorine constantly. "For example a simple chlorine feeder and Terminox tank can remove iron bacteria and sulfur from problem well water with no carbon tanks or retention tanks at all." Note that iron is not mentioned.

CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
Thanks for the responses on the tanks. Helps us all to understand more.
As for ponding (never heard it before, had to look it up, so thanks to Gary for giving me "The Word of The Day"!
Ponding is a term that refers to the unwanted pooling of water, typically on a flat roof.
When water is diverted into a lower area that has no outlet or is not suitable for drainage, water will begin to pool, and over time the weight of the water will create a deeper pool allowing more water to sit, eventually creating a permanent water feature.
If I water my yard too much, and there is pooling, it is oversaturated, but it's going to drain soon enough.

Gary, I spent the better part of an hour listening to a rant from my boss that had nothing, absolutely, nothing to do with me. This was not an intelligent conversation, and, it was amazing. Her eyes were flaring, her nostrils were flaring, and finally, when I had enough of it, I said, " this is really no big deal." Her face turned red & purple, her veins popped out, so, I said it again, lol. I was now starting to enjoy it, lol. I wish I could think of a nic name for her. Somehow or another, I am sure... I will be implicated into this because she was just looking for a fight. This was more than mare nit picking, she was out to crucify someone. I say, not me, not me. lol. Now, today, I get to work with the, great one. lol.
Intelligent discussion? With you? Really? Nit-picking? If I wanted to, I could go back through literally hundreds of threads here and elsewhere where YOU are ALWAYS the first one to start with the nit-picking, insults, belittling comments etc and now you have the BALLS to post that BS? Give us a break Einstein and take you meds for a change.
Even when I leave your comments alone you can't stop with your usual crap IE the quote above. You act like a 3 year throwing a tantrum most of the time. How on earth do you expect anyone to take your posts seriously?
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
My turn to nit pick... he said "intelligent conversion", not conversation, not discussion, conversion. Don't expect him to convert to anything intelligent.

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: G-Star
2009 September 16
G-Star - New York Spring 2010
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) As always, Pier Morisset's G-STAR show was fashion entertainment at its best. Staged at the Hammerstein Ballroom, models were revealed out of giant white pods and stomped the runway to toe-tapping pop tunes. But despite the show's grandeur, the clothes were still the focus. The perfect blend of urban style and classic tailoring, Morisset's 50's - inspired collection gave us a set of crisp yet cool denim looks. Sharp jackets for women and men in navy and white will be easy sells, and detachable coat tails for the boys were certainly inspired. For ladies, there were flight-attendant-esque blue and white dresses, structured drop-crotch pants, and a très sexy white jumpsuit with risqué slits on either side. A combination of diamond prints and stripes offered a graphic aesthetic for both sexes.

HP EPEAT Required Statements
18.104.22.168 Required—Allow use of general office paper with renewable content, recycled content and content that is chlorine free
HP printers are designed to work with paper made with renewable, recycled and chlorine-free content qualified according to EN 1281:2002. Using these types of media will not void the HP warranty or service contract. However, while HP printers are designed to be flexible in the types of media they can accept, HP recommends using good-quality media. HP papers are designed to work with HP printers for optimal print quality. HP offers papers with recycled content, and these papers are manufactured using ECF (elemental chlorine-free) processes. HP is a member of Global Forest Trade Network, working with partners including the World Wildlife Fund, to address forest issues, support, and promote sustainable forest management.

During third-party testing, Original HP cartridges performed more consistently than the aftermarket non-HP cartridges that were tested.1 HP cartridges are designed to use fewer plastics and fewer components, making them easier to recycle. For example, HP has cut the average number of component parts used in monochrome HP LaserJet print cartridges by a third and the types of plastic used by more than half, which makes them easier to recycle.2 When HP cartridges reach their end of life, customers can recycle them for free with HP Planet Partners—an industry-leading recycling program—available in more than 50 countries and territories around the world.3 The HP Planet Partners program converts recyclable material recovered from Original HP print cartridges into new products, including new HP cartridges.

From the image you can see that some of my duct work runs parallel to my joists. I would like to run an untreated 2 x 4 cap plate for a wall perpendicular to the joists and under the duct work. I would attach the studs to the cap plate that would be nailed into the joists.
My question; is there any problem with nailing a cap plate into the joists directly under the duct? I will obviously be driving nails into the joist through the sheet metal and the 2 x 4 cap plate will be making contact with the duct, but the nails will be into the joist and not just sticking into the duct.
Thanks for opinions.

Lindsay, i love to hear all this awesome news from you! i'm sure she gets her awesome attitude from her mama! i've been wondering how she's maintained her weight thru all this?
When she was born, she was SOOOO swollen and began to lose water weight but because she was on fluids and IV vitamin mix, and thinned out. Well, then she was about 10lbs going into heart surgery, swelled back up again from the crazy fluids they gave her and went back up to 11.5 (birth weight).
Then she lost THAT weight and went down to 10lbs and is currently gaining 5 to 20ish grams a day, a good gain for heart babies. So NOW she is around 10.15. The docs arent worried because her body and head are growing how they should and shes getting enough nutrients. She even has reflux and throws up a lot (most heart babies do) and is still not losing any weight.
As for the reflux, I have been telling the docs for WEEKs that I suspect she has it, after watching that video on one of your guys blogs. Then last night I was told shes been on Zantac for 4 days after a reflux test, and no one told me! I KNEW it! DH said some doctor must have wanted to take the credit, darnit! At least shell get some relief!

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
Sep 14, 2010
Some 35% of U.S. adults have software applications or "apps" on their phones, yet only 24% of adults use those apps. Many adults who have apps on their phones, particularly older adults, do not use them, and 11% of cell owners are not sure if their phone is equipped with apps.
Among cell phone owners, 29% have downloaded apps to their phone and 13% have paid to download apps.
"An apps culture is clearly emerging among some cell phone users, particularly men and young adults," said Kristen Purcell, Associate Director for Research at the Pew Internet Project. "Still, it is clear that this is the early stage of adoption when many cell owners do not know what their phone can do. The apps market seems somewhat ahead of a majority of adult cell phone users."

Garcia Nets Two Goals En Route to Bulldogs 5-0 Shutout Over Northern Iowa
Charleston, S.C. – Four different Bulldogs recorded goals, including career-first scores from freshmen Kimberly Maldonado and Jannel Johnson as The Citadel women's soccer team downed Northern Iowa 5-0 on Washington Light Infantry Field on Sunday. The win is the Bulldogs' first of the season, improving their record to 1-4-0.
Mariana Garcia continues to re-write the record books and her impressive 2012 campaign adding two more goals, giving her four on the season, and moving her into a tie for second all-time in Citadel history. The Bogota, Colombia, native is just seven shy of the record set by Kelly Pesterfield.
Garcia notched the game's first score in the 27th minute when she collected a pass from Johnson and lobbed a 25-yard shot over the head of the Northern Iowa goalkeeper, Erin Zaideman.
Just over two minutes later The Citadel would find the back of the net again as Jillian Meyer fired a rocket, off of a foul shot, from 40 yards out that deflected off the head of a Panther defender and past Zaideman.
Bulldog goalkeeper Sarah Katchen staved off a Panther surge at the end of the first half to keep the 2-0 shutout intact, as Northern Iowa fired six shots in the final 15 minutes of the first frame.
The Citadel attack proved to be too much in the second half. Garcia posted her second goal of the game in the 59th minute when Johnson pushed a perfect pass to Garcia resulting in a breakaway score to give the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead. The assist was Johnson's second of the game and the first two of her career.
The final two scores of the game would come from newcomers Kimberly Maldonado and Johnson. Maldonado's goal was assisted by junior Ruth Leiva, who now has four for her career, moving her into sixth all-time in program history.
"Leiva had great composure with the ball and connected to the forwards well and Johnson's shots helped us with the win and led to her first career goal," said Meyer.
Vanessa Aponte led the Bulldogs with six shots as The Citadel outshot the Panthers 16-11. Aponte now has 150 career shots, leaving her just 15 shy of the school record. Garcia is currently in third all-time with 134.
"Today we stepped up and played hard with confidence and got the win," said Meyer. "It started in the back with the defense making tackles and being vocal and continued through the middle."
The Citadel will hit the road for two previously postponed games from the beginning of the season as they take on Winthrop on Wednesday, Sept. 12 and Charleston Southern on Sept. 17.

You can never have too many access panels. Put an access panel in so the trap is accessible.
I use access panels for everything. Gas valves. Electrical boxes behind walls that I could not be bothered to move. Plumbing. The lot.
The only drawback is the cost, which is why many pros would not use them.

"I loved this card but needed the wording at the top of the card for my picture. Called customer service and the told me what I needed to do. Super easy and turned out just the way I wanted. Loved the ability to customize...for free!!!"
"I was very pleased with the quality of the card. I did add the pearlized paper and was happy with my choice. The picture quality was good and everything arrived promptly."
"I just love Tiny Prints...and ordering this year's Christmas card again reminded me why! this card is beautiful....it was a bit smaller than I originally thought....but looks fantastic! very professional! thank you tiny prints!"
"I loved everything about this card except for the font I chose for the back of the card. It was so tiny you could barely read it. I went with the bracket cutout which looks great on this card."
"I searched long and hard to find the card design that would best feature the photo that I wanted to use. It had to have the greeting in the upper left corner and no borders. This was the perfect template. As with all Tiny Prints templates, it's an easy-to-use browser-based template that anyone can use. My only regret was that I forgot to change the font color on the back from white, so when I printed on white it was invisible. But that was my fault."

We all know exercise is good for our bodies because it helps us maintain a healthy weight and look our best. But did you know that working out is actually a great way to practice skincare?
Here are three reasons why exercise, in addition to the right beauty products, helps keep our skin healthy and radiant:
1. It removes toxins. When we sweat, we purge our bodies of unhealthy radicals that clog our pores and cause acne and blemishes. By participating in regular physical activity, you'll purge your skin on a consistent basis and help keep skin problems at bay.
2. It relieves stress. Exercise causes the release of serotonin, a pleasure-inducing hormone produced naturally by the body. When you exercise, not only does the hard work purge your mind, but the serotonin relaxes you and reduces your level of stress.
3. It tones up muscles. Regular exercise, including both cardio and strength training activities, helps to keep muscles firm and tight so that you always look fabulous, even in the hot summer months when short-shorts are all the rage. In fact, regular exercise is one of the best natural cellulite treatments.
Look great and feel even better by participating in regular physical activity. Your skin will thank you, and you certainly welcome all the appreciative glances that come your way.

I love this and am so glad they are putting it out there. Exercise is so important....in so many ways....the list keeps growing.
When I first began working out, which consisted of walking about an hour a day, the first thing I noticed was my insomnia seemed to dissipate. Then I started losing my appetite and craving for sweets and even diet sugar. I then noticed how wonderful my skin looked. I had a dewy complexion, with perfect coloring on my face giving the appearance of health . My stress levels went down. Living in Manhattan, where everyone seems to be in such a hurry and one's patience level is zero to none, I started to feel more relaxed and that feeling of wanting to rip someone's head off if they didn't have their credit card out and ready to go immediately after getting their items checked out at the register line at the grocery store didn't seem to bother me much anymore. I felt calm and serene. When I walk at a fast pace, I do sweat a lot especially on my face but my skin could not have been clearer. I actually felt as if all the poisons from my body were being released through my skin. I felt great mentally and physically. Of course I also drank a huge amount of water to replace all the liquids lost but this was great for my digestive system. Stomach aches seemed to go away and constipation was no longer an issue. Walking is the best form of exercise. I also burned off a lot of calories, toned up and lost a bit of weight. I haven't felt or looked this good since I was a teenager, and that was eons ago.Diane K.kleimanlaw at aol dot com

You know how some games have that special moment you can't wait to tell all your friends about? It's the kind of thing that defines the game you're playing and sticks with you for the rest of your life. Saints Row: The Third doesn't have one of those incredible moments you'll never forget ... it has hundreds of them. THQ's newest open world action game has so many unbelievable moments I could spend the next two thousand words talking exclusively about them and not even scratch the surface of what makes this sequel so much fun.
Because of their antics in the first two games, the Third Street Saints have been catapulted to superstar status. They are larger than life pop culture icons; recognizable celebrities who are constantly getting hassled for autographs. Thankfully the Third Street Saints haven't gone completely soft, as demonstrated by a bloody bank robbery that opens the game. In true heist movie fashion, the street gang decides to hide their identities by wearing a mask of the Third Street Saints' most recognizable face, Johnny Gat. To make matters even stranger, you are currently playing Johnny Gat, which means that you're wearing a mask of your own face. This surreal robbery should be your first clue that Saints Row: The Third is about to get very weird.
It doesn't take long for our hero to nearly get run over by an airplane while skydiving, rain down explosive death with remote guided missiles, go on a Japanese TV game show and take an extremely dangerous drive with a live tiger. The fact that all of these things happen within just a few minutes of each other is at the core of what makes Saints Row: The Third one of the craziest action games I've ever played. The game establishes within the first hour that practically anything is possible. Think there's an army of cloned super humans out to get you? You're probably right. Worried about a zombie apocalypse? You have good reason to be concerned. What about aliens? It's definitely a possibility.
Somehow all of these outlandish ideas are sewn together into one narrative. At least that's the attempt. The story involves the Third Street Saints getting arrested and caught up in a fight with Phillipe Loren, the leader of an evil group called The Syndicate. What started as a simple business arrangement quickly devolves into an all-out gun fight, which ultimately leads to a lot of bad blood and a revenge plan. The popular gang moves to Steelport and plots a course to kill Phillipe Loren and control the city.
It turns out that this grimy industrial city is home to three eccentric gangs, each with colorful leaders and unique clothing choices. The most outlandish are the Luchadores, a group of masked Mexican wrestlers. They are led by a steroid-injected muscleman who resembles Batman's worst nightmare, Bane. His name? Killbane. Yes, that's the kind of wit you should expect from Saints Row: The Third.
Another intriguing addition are the gang of, ahem, "hacktivists" known as the Deckers. These youthful killers are computer savvy and know a thing or two about administering the blue screen of death. The Deckers' story breaks new ground in the open world sandbox sub-genre, allowing players to play a killer toilet. That's right, at more than one point in this Saints Row sequel you play as a toilet.
Things get even more complicated once the politicians step in. In order to rid Steelport of this nasty problem, an opportunistic Senator calls in the government-trained Special Tactical Anti-Gang squad, also known as STAG. These highly armored soldiers are tough to kill and will present a real headache for each and every one of the city's criminals.
These various groups are nothing more than a reason to introduce a bunch of colorful characters and make the hero fight through dozens of action-packed missions. Fans of the Grand Theft Auto-style of action game will no doubt recognize a lot of the mission types, which largely lean on the shoot everything that moves conceit. Saints Row manages to make this fun by constantly introducing exciting new weapons and vehicles, including special gear from each of the different gangs and government agencies. Not only will you find a lot of standard hand guns and automatic rifles, but also experimental guns, a sonic boom blaster and even a Mega Man-esque arm cannon.
Beyond the traditional shoot-em-up missions, the game has a healthy supply of diverse tasks to undertake. In one mission you'll be using a remote control gun, which allows you to take control of any vehicle you want while you sit high above in a helicopter. There's something satisfying about taking control of an enemy's airplane and sending him for the ride of his life. Another stage involves you riding a Tron-like light cycle to help hack the computer's mainframe. And in even another stage, you'll have to save the city from a zombie outbreak. And did I mention that you occasionally play as a toilet?
When you're not playing through the ten hour storyline, there are plenty of side-missions set up around the world. Fans of Saints Row 2 will recognize most of these secondary activities, which include driving hookers around town, taking part in a Japanese TV game show, racing, insurance fraud, protecting fellow gang members and much, much more. You'll also be able to track down desirable targets and assassinate them to earn respect. Or, if you're looking for a less violent way to earn some quick points, you can spend your time tracking down specific cars around town.
One of my biggest pet peeves about Saints Row 2 was that the game forced players to complete a bunch of the secondary activities before moving through the story. The constant breaks from the story hurt the pacing and made me loathe some of the more difficult side-missions. This is not the case in Saints Row: The Third. This time around players only have the play each side mission once. The different activities are introduced throughout the course of the story and then only repeated by choice.
Despite the game's ultra-violence, Saints Row: The Third feels like the Saturday morning cartoon version of Grand Theft Auto IV. Every character is larger than life, the plot points are completely ridiculous and there isn't a believable moment in the entire game. The game has no problem referencing strangely specific moments in wrestling history, not to mention reference games (Mass Effect), movies (a bunch of Star Wars jokes) and TV (a loving nod to The Walking Dead). It's hard to take any of the craziness seriously, which is what makes much of this game so compelling.
And yet, sometimes the absurdity plays against what the game is trying to accomplish. Because the action is never grounded in reality I found it difficult to care for any of the characters. By the end of Grand Theft Auto IV I was emotionally invested in Niko's journey, while in this game I couldn't care less about my user-created character. Furthermore, the game's over-the-top antics ruin what could have been a couple heartfelt moments.
Fans of the Saints Row serious will always point to the game's superior open world gameplay mechanics. The game is a significantly more playable third person shooter when compared to Grand Theft Auto IV. The problem is that it's a mediocre third-person shooter compared to Gears of War. The developers do a good job at keeping the action diverse, but there are moments towards the end of the game where the gameplay is unable to keep up with the demand. What's more, Saints Row could use an easier way to switch between weapons. The current method (hold the "B" button to pop up a menu and select using the left analog stick) is unusable in the heat of battle.
While the game's style blew me away, I wasn't thrilled with the overall graphics found in Saints Row: The Third. The game looks a lot like Saints Row 2, with sometimes ugly character designs and questionable textures. The backgrounds are generally sparse and lack details, which is even more noticeable after spending so long in Rockstar's recent episodes from Liberty City. Thankfully the action is fast and the style is able to overshadow some questionable visuals.
The game's soundtrack is a completely different story. The campy voice acting fits in perfectly with Saints Row's silly storyline. Hulk Hogan delivers an inspired performance as, surprise, a former wrestling champ. Daniel Dae Kim (from TV's Lost and Hawaii Five-0) reprises his role as returning star, Johnny Gat. And even former porn star Sasha Grey proves her worth as an actress. All of the actors have a lot of fun with what is undoubtedly stupid material.
When you're done cleaning the town of gang members, it's time to move on to the, ahem, Whored Mode. This "cleverly" named mode is a lot like the Horde Mode you find in other games, only with a sharper sense of humor. Here you'll have to kill a certain amount of enemies to advance from wave to wave. Sometimes you'll need to use a chainsaw to kill a bunch of zombies, while other times the player will use a gigantic sex toy to smack around half naked women. This mode doesn't even attempt to mask the pop culture references, putting many of them right in the wave's title. I'm not sure how often I'll play this mode, but I had a good time fighting as long as I could.
Saints Row: The Third is the perfect answer to anybody who thought Grand Theft Auto IV took itself too seriously. The fact that I never knew what was coming next was enough to compel me to see the game through to the end. At a mere ten hours, this third Saints Row game is a fraction of the length of a standard Rockstar Games title, though you would never know it from the blistering in-your-face pacing. With so many must-see moments, you'll be talking about Saints Row: The Third for months to come.

All the world's a stage, especially Anne Arundel County. It has produced, far and away, the best shows of the season: a County Council member sent to prison, followed by a long squabble over his replacement; a congenial county executive charged with being a creep; a police chief forced to retire; a gay-bashing delegate involved in a drunken boat crash; a loquacious council member accused of bullying constituents on Election Day.
That's quite a run, and it isn't over.
The curtain rises now for the misconduct trial of John Leopold, the Republican county executive accused of ordering his police security detail to transport him to and from encounters with his girlfriend, to compile dossiers on political rivals and even to empty the catheter bag he used after back surgery.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
(My theory holds that the bit about the bag is what got Leopold in trouble. Your staffers had better adore you — I'm emphasizing the word "adore" here — if you are going to ask them to handle your collection bag, and especially if you expect them to cover your indiscretions.)
Some people look forward to the next episode of "Downton Abbey." I'm looking forward to the Leopold trial.
Guess who's to blame
Not to be upstaged by his fellow Republican, Don Dwyer, a state delegate from Anne Arundel County, gave an interview to the Capital Gazette to explain why he got drunk last summer while operating his boat in the Magothy River.
Dwyer, who faces alcohol-related charges in the crash that injured him and six others, said he started drinking hard after he and his wife separated in 2011.
But here's the best part, why I say the hits just keep on comin' in Anne Arundel County:
Dwyer blames the outcome of the gay-marriage vote in the Maryland House of Delegates for his turn to the bottle.
An outspoken opponent of gay rights, Dwyer said, "I felt a tremendous amount of pressure in my family. You take those personal issues [and] add betrayal on the professional side, and it really gets to be overwhelming."
The "betrayal" he felt came when three other delegates, including two Republicans, changed their minds and voted for the same-sex marriage bill that became state law on Jan. 1.
"That betrayal really affected me," Dwyer said. "I was physically ill. You pour your heart into an issue like that and it's devastating."
Advice to the delegate: Find something else to "pour your heart into," something that will actually make a difference in the lives of the people of your district.
Also, blaming others is a way for Dwyer — who has acknowledged completing an alcohol treatment program — to avoid the hard sweat of self-examination. If you attend an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, you'll learn about the need to take "a searching and fearless moral inventory of oneself," and there's no room in that for blaming others for where you are in life. Break a leg.
The Knotty Warrior
During a hard period in his life, James Pharis, a Marine and Army veteran, developed a knack for crafting colorful bracelets, watch bands and necklaces from parachute cord. Ravens fans who feel their game-day ensembles are incomplete might want to consider ordering one of The Knotty Warrior's purple-and-black items.
Pharis joined the Marines out of high school and served four years with the corps, becoming a mechanic in the process. After a traumatic mission in Somalia and his eventual discharge, he took various jobs in construction, but found something missing in civilian life. He enlisted in the Army, where his mechanical skills were in demand.
He served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and saw a lot of death. "Years of madness and sadness and anger," he calls them. In his last deployment, Pharis says, he "froze up and didn't seek cover" when his unit came under small-arms fire near Kirkuk in northern Iraq.
He eventually came home and underwent a long course of therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder. He retired after 16 years and is considered fully disabled. He lives with his wife, Jessica, also an Army veteran, and their daughter, Piper, in Baltimore County.
Pharis has been doing positive things, embracing therapy through the Department of Veterans Affairs, taking classes at the Community College of Baltimore County in Essex — he hopes to one day find a job as a paralegal — and making the bracelets.
He learned how to weave parachute cord from a YouTube video and started selling his items (for under $10 each) through a Facebook page, at veterans events and, recently, through Lakein's Jewelers. The Ravens colors are popular, Pharis says, but, with the Orioles also having made the postseason, Baltimoreans go for his combination purple-orange wrist bands, too.

great food - great service – In town for a meeting and stopped in for a late lunch on Friday. Nice pub atmosphere. Had a reuben and fresh chips. The highlight was the cup of seafood chowder. Loaded with seafood and vegetables. The little redhead waitress was very friendly and attentive.
The only negative comment that I can make about the lunch was the soup. It was so delicious, I was upset that I had only ordered a cup instead of a bowl.
Relaxed, Irish-themed pub near the Dome offers a casual, friendly vibe. – In Short
Although Dan Kelly's has been around since 1997, most downtown habitués still think of it as the Court Bar. Today, the old Court has been re-panelled in forest green and given an open layout more reminiscent of a German beer hall than an Irish pub--the name, a neon shamrock and tap Guinness are the only Irish aspects. It's a comfortable place for a chat; the bar bustles most when the after-work and pre-Dome-event crowds converge..
It's like your neighborhood pub/tavern – Dan Kelly's consistantly serves up good food. The taco basket appetizer is great, and it's two dollars of during happy hour. The burgers and shredded BBQ pork sandwichs are big and flavorfull. The prices are quite low for a downtown restaurant.
OK for drinks, not food – A lovely pub-styled watering hole, and there's an inventive mind at work in the kitchen, but the execution back there is dreadful. Although things seem to be made from scratch, I found myself wishing they'd just order in.

With the worldwide success of certain blockbuster 3D movies, and the standardisation of 3D technology, substantial progress has been made in the 3D arena. Many people who were once skeptical about 3D, are now over-excited. While 3D technology has the potential of generating additional revenue in the mid term, there is also a longer term risk of industry players overselling or overpricing the whole 3D experience.
3D Here and now presents the progress that has been made over the last year in 3D entertainment and raises key questions that need to be addressed in order to ensure a stable growth for the 3D market, across a variety of screens: movie, TV, mobile and video gaming.

Calipari Says Cats-Cards Rivalry Doesn't Matter At This Point
March 27th, 2012 11:58 AM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Kentucky
Tags: Big Blue, Fort Knox, Seventy Six, Southeastern Kentucky
John Calipari tried to sell a whopper yesterday and we're not talking about a burger. In the run-up to what's sure to be one of the most-hyped games in NCAA Tournament history, Kentucky's coach tried to push the idea that Louisville's position opposite UK on the bracket line doesn't add any extra pressure:
"They want to make a big deal out of the rivalry — not at this time of the year; it doesn't matter. If you win or lose, you're going to feel the same whether it's a team you've played before or never seen in your life, a team that's 12 miles from you or a team that's a thousand miles from you."
For the coaches and the players, maybe. If they win, they'll still have another game to quickly focus on and win if they want to hang a banner. If they lose, they're going to feel like their hearts have been pulled out their rumps. Got it.
But try selling that "it doesn't matter who it is" stuff to the fans of both teams. For them, this game could only be bigger if it were for the national title and not just a spot in the title game.
In a state crazy about basketball, the craziest fans will weep with joy or sorrow (or rage) come Saturday night. They'll either be able to lord the victory over their neighbors in rival colors or they'll have to live with a year's worth — Hell, a life's worth — of taunts and reminders.
As a boy growing up in Southeastern Kentucky, I remember Louisville winning the NCAA Tournament under Denny Crum in 1980. A poem became part of Cardinal fans' celebration:
"Roses are red. Violets are blue. The Cards are in Heaven. But where's the Big Blue?"
That was more than 30 years ago and I can still remember Louisville fans saying it and Kentucky fans stewing stewing over it.
We in the media overhype a heckuva lot of things. And so do you, you Twitter- and Facebook- and messageboard-lovin' fans. That's the world we live in.
But there's no amount of overhype for Saturday's matchup. From Lexington to Louisville, Middlesboro to Paducah, Seventy Six to 88, and from Shoulderblade to Mud Lick to Bugtussle… folks from every city and burg in the Commonwealth will be living and dying with this weekend's result.
Calipari can say the opponent doesn't matter to his team, but it matters to everybody else in the state. And you can take that to another Kentucky town — Fort Knox.

|Of the sixty cubic feet of material in the Davis Family Collection, perhaps the most significant section is the Wooden Covered Bridges series, 268 photographic images compiled between 1935 and 1937. These images, photographed by Davis, or copied by him from other collections, comprise one of the most comprehensive groupings of bridges in thirty-one counties of Eastern and Central Penn- sylvania. "Green Sergeant's Bridge," the last covered bridge in New Jersey at that time, is one of the few images of bridges in the Davis Collection located outside Pennsylvania.
A number of letters from various Pennsylvania county authorities, written during a brief period beginning on July 1, 1936, attest to Davis's concentrated effort to gather information on all wooden covered bridges still standing. Many had disappeared after complete destruction by, or repeated damage from, flooding, ice jams, fires, weathering over a number of decades, and neglect. Some were repaired. Only a very few were rebuilt.
Dr. Davis included images of bridges built as early as 1716, and as late as 1912, as well as spans of particular distinction, like the Thomas Mill Bridge, built in 1855, the only covered bridge constructed in the city of Philadelphia. The 3-span (404 feet in length) Eyster's Bridge (also spelled Oyster's), known as "The Hex Bridge," in Cumberland County, the longest covered bridge in the state, is also part of the grouping.
There is an array of architectural building types represented: 4-span; hand-hewn timbers fastened together with trunnels; shed roof; combined rainbow arch and lattice; and two-span arched truss with abutments of timber cribbing. Davis also provided descriptions of nearby dams, mills, toll-houses, and other historic buildings.
In 1942, Dr. John Winter Rice (Bucknell Class of 1914), former student and colleague of Nelson F. Davis, began to process, arrange and describe all Davis's photographic materials. With few ex- ceptions, both the Davis identifications and the original numbering system of Dr. Rice have been maintained.

A plan to build street car lines in San Antonio is generating controversy.
On Wednesday morning, an opposition group called the South Texas Alliance for Progress released a report called "The Streetcar Fantasy," a 25-page study questioning the costs and benefits of streetcars.
"Streetcars are very expensive," said the author of the report, Randal O'Toole. "They're expensive to build, they're expensive to operate and they're expensive to maintain."
He claimed streetcars have failed to be cost effective in other cities like Portland, Ore.
"It's not really all that beneficial. It's just costing taxpayers a lot of money," said O'Toole.
Mary Hill, the owner of the Pig Stand restaurant on Broadway, disagrees.
She said she thinks a streetcar route from downtown to the Pearl Brewery area would be good for her business.
"I think it would be very good because I think more people would come out this way because sometimes we have a lot of things going on downtown and they don't make it this far out," she said.
VIA Metropolitan Transit is in the process of weighing public input.
A public meeting to discuss the street car project is being held Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the Depot in Sunset Station at 1174 East Commerce St.
