Diner Reviews
Appetizers returned, calamari
tough and rubbery. Had to wait 10 minutes at table for waitress to acknowledge us, and another 12 minutes for water and an iced tea. Restaurant was not busy at all. Refills slow to be offered, food slow, sent food back with no apology at all. Bench at our table was dirty, light fixtures not clean. Washroom wasn't clean and there was a total of 20 guests inside entire restaurant. Will definitely never return."

I had some friends visiting town
and needed to grab a late dinner. I excited that I was able to book something for midnight only to arrive and the restaurant be closed much to my embarrassment!"

We were a group of nine for dinner
and could not have asked for better service! The menu was varied enough for everyone to find something that appealed to them and the food was great. Most of us had the house wine which was Peller Estates, a very good quality Niagara wine."

Emily was our server and she was
great. Although the kitchen made an error with my wings, she apologized and the manager came to the table with the correct order. All in all, a very pleasant experience. "

My family wanted to have a nice
lunch to celebrate a couple of birthdays and they wanted something nice, but not too pricey. I knew that my local Turtle Jack's (Clarkson) had been 'upgraded' from their previous 'road house' theme and I thought a Turtle Jack's close to my family (Burlington) would be a good bet. Well it was. Everyone was very happy with the meals, the price and the service. My pretty sure my sisters will likely go back there again next time they want a nice meal."

Our dining experience was 1st
class!!! The server was very friendly and efficient. We would definitely come again."

We were pleasantly surprised at
the great atmosphere and outstanding service. Very pleased."
Dined on 2/16/2014
The food is varied and delicious.
The atmosphere is comfortable, fun, and classy. I have received great service every time, without fail and would recommend the restaurant for couples, family, girls nights out, and taking the in-laws out for dinner."
Dined on 1/26/2014
The best Pad Thai i have ever had,
actually one of the best meals i have ever had. The other two in our party had pasta which was also good but not as exceptional as mine. The dessert, wine and the long island iced tea were also excellent. I highly recommend this location. Unfortunately some aspects of the service were lacking, disappointing in the fact that the restaurant was not at all busy. Our waitress always seemed to be in a rush to go somewhere else and did not pay attention to small details such as forgetting to bring me a glass for my beer or not hearing that i ordered a drink. I think her mind was elsewhere.The entertainer was average and competed with the music playing on the restaurants' sound system while he was performing"
Dined on 12/31/2013
Nice variety on the menu. We were
with a party of 8. Everyone ordered something different and we were all very happy with our selection. My burger was awesome!"
Dined on 12/12/2013
Despite the very long wait for our
meal, the food tasted good. Our waitress was attentive and did her job well. However, the experience was marred in several ways by the front desk staff: - The hostess was rude and dismissed our request for a booth and told us there were no booths available. She then promptly sat us beside 3 empty non-reserved booths in which 2 remained empty for a minimum of 30 minutes. - Front desk cancelled our OpenTable reservation during dining despite our military timing (staff confirmed our reservation upon arrival) - We had to report to OpenTable with supporting evidence that we had dined at the reserved date and time in order to get our OT points Summary: Disappointing experience. Not returning. NOT recommended."
Dined on 12/8/2013
waitress was accomodating our nut
allergies and gluten-free stuff. pleasant and courteous. food was excellent. service was very attentive."
Dined on 12/7/2013
We were welcomed and seated
promptly. The thing we liked the most is that we were not disturbed several times asking if we were ready to order, that is important to us. We do not go out to dinner to feel rushed. It was great!"
Dined on 8/15/2013
I've been to Turtle Jack's years
ago at a different location and didn't like the food (nor did my hubby). I'm glad I gave this restaurant (and location) another shot. I was looking for a nicer kid-friendly restaurant. The food was really good (had the fried pickles for apps (hubby and 4 y.o. liked them too); chicken tacos for dinner - loved the fries; brownie for dessert - it was huge!). I will definitely go back."
Dined on 8/11/2013
We were a group of 11 and your
staff did a great job of keeping on top of things."
Dined on 6/6/2013
We celebrated my wife's birthday.
It was supposed to be a surprize but when we arrived and mentioned my name to the hostess, she said, "Oh yes, a table for 8" and grabbed 8 menues and lead us to our table. I would have preferred if she had just lead us without saying anything but nonetheless it was a perfect evening. The daily food special was ribs and half of the group selected it and the ribs were very good. All things considered we had a great time and will definitely go back."
Dined on 3/25/2013
DInner was wonderful and our
server was fantastic. Greatly appreciated that she made a special point of asking about allergies. Was also very honest about the menu items. It was a good night."
Dined on 3/10/2013
We were ushered to our table upon
arrival, how-ever, we sat for 33 minutes before a waitress came to serve us. We were not impressed at all. We were prepared to leave when wait staff finally made an appearance. If this visit had been our first visit, it would have been our last. The only saving grace was the quality of the entrees. We are able to appreciate that a dining facility can be busy, in this case, it was dissappointing to have been ignored for such a length of time before been served."
Dined on 2/17/2013
They did a spectacular job on the
blackened fish, beautiful presentation. The two can dine for $50 on Tuesday nights , is well worth it, you share an appetizer and dessert but the portions are huge, big bang shrimp was amazing , the house red a shiraz was very good. Truly a find."
Dined on 2/14/2013
I met my step-sister for lunch. We
hadn't seen each other for a year and your restaurant was convenient for both of us. Our salads were delicious and we had a quiet corner booth where we could chat and catch up. The waitress was very pleasant and happy to allow us to chat for four hours and provide extra coffee and tea!"
Dined on 1/22/2013
we enjoyed our selves very much
and enjoyed everything about the restaurant. Lovey decor!! We would recommend this restaurant to anyone! Thanks"
Dined on 12/18/2012
It was a last minute booking for a
group of 10. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to reserve the table but the overall afternoon was great. The food was presented timely, no long waits and the feedback from our guests was great. I would recommend Turtle Jack's."
Dined on 12/14/2012
A group of 8 for girls night out.
The service was great. There was mix ups with dishes. Wrong doneness of steaks. It was resolved by new steak in one case. In others they were OK with keeping what they had. Manager on duty came to table. Offered each person a coupon for money off next visit. Aslo when the bill arrived there was no charge for those meals, and no charge for a salad that was not served before the meal but in error at same time as meal. These people take costomer satisfaction to the highest level. The food was excellent, we all enjoyed the evening. Everyone enjoyed their meal. From steaks, fish and hamburgers."
Dined on 12/3/2012
My wife and I have been eating
dinner here once a week for the past few months. After having some less-than-good experiences with the wait staff attitude, I started making reservations requesting to be seated in a particular waitress's section (the only mature, polite, and professional waitress on staff, apparently). I've made reservations twice, and on this occasion our seating request was ignored because the hostess found the request "too complicated" (her words). The waitress we were assigned was greatly inconvenienced by us eating dinner there. Added to this, the beer was warm and flat, and the food was cold and stale. I don't think we'll be going back. This seems to be just another "McDonalds for adults" microwave meal diner."
Dined on 11/29/2012
Menu is a good mix of pub grub and
other offerings. The spicy shrimp app was a standout."
Dined on 10/20/2012
Thank you for a wonderful
experience while celebrating my daughters 12th bday with her friends. When we do go out to eat we choose Turtle Jacks Mapleview by far!!! Thank you"
Dined on 10/20/2012
Restaurant is part of a small
chain which started out specializing in ribs and having a country ambiance to a diverse menu with a high end decor. This particular location appears to be trying to compete with Earls restaurant next door. Food was excellent with large portions. Ribs fell off the bone and bison meatloaf was unique as we have not seen it before. could have done without the stringy onion rings with bison loaf. Service was efficient but not spectacular. We were the only patrons in servers area so it should be efficient. Three complaints: Music was extremely loud bar music, server indicated ribs came with one side and then charged for mashed potatoes and about 90% of restaurant is windowless making it very dark."
Dined on 9/3/2012
We ate at Turtle Jacks Mapleview
for the first time (although our son is a regular) and thoroughly enjoyed it. We visited with family friends (who are foodies) with their family members who are scattered across New York City, Idaho and Oregon; everyone enjoyed their meal. One friend was impressed with the authentic English style fish and chips (which are apparently difficult to find in the U.S.), the enormous,tall burgers had the wow factor, and the vegetarians in the group were also happy...even the 3 year old finished all her food. Our server was excellent (sorry I can't remember her name) and a great time was had by all! We will definitely be returning."
Dined on 8/19/2012
Great food, good portion sizes,
nice variety! Dined here twice, and both times food was great!"
Dined on 7/20/2012
Excellent service; good food;
quiet enough to talk and to hear."
Dined on 7/18/2012
The overall booking and welcoming
was great. The wait staff, especially Carly made our evening very enjoyable. She had recalled waiting on us a couple of months earlier and picked up on our likes and dislikes and responded very favourably throughout the evening. Your Nocho's are great and the girls enjoyed the blackened chicken salad. The hamburgs we had were just okay. Too much bun and too little meat."
Dined on 7/5/2012
Have been here many times, service
wasn't as good as I remember, but they were having problems with their debit machines. All in all, a great place to dine."
Dined on 6/6/2012
Great meal, fun atmosphere,
service employees were very friendly and accomodating!"
Dined on 5/29/2012
Our server was amazing, wish I
remembered his name. Only thing that wasn't 100% was the manager who came around and interrupted our meal by awkwardly asking how everything was going while our server was doing an amazing job of this anyways."
Dined on 5/13/2012
it was an enjoyable first time and
we thankyou for the free birthday dessert. We will be back again. thankyou Mike"

This was our first time dining at
Turtle Jack's in Mapleview and the experience was fantastic. The service was very nice and pleasant. Most enjoyable and will be dining there again in the near future."
Dined on 3/11/2012
We enjoyed a nice mea at Turtle
Jacks. There as a group of 5 adult ladies, and my almost 2 year old. They were very accommodating to my daughter. We ordered half price apps (before 6:30 on Wednesdays) which helped keep our bill low. It took little longer than I would have liked to get the bill and pay for it, children will only sit still for so long! Overall it was a very good experience and I would return again!"
Dined on 3/7/2012
We made a (very) last-minute
reservation for Valentine's Day, and were pleased that this was the only restaurant that could accommodate our request. Service was attentive and friendly without being pushy, and our server was always within earshot if we needed anything. The food was absolutely delicious! My steak was overdone, but the manager took it back to the kitchen without hesitation and offered me something else while I waited for a new entree (which ended up being comped on our bill!). The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, and we didn't have to shout to hear each other (but there was still enough ambient noise to keep you from feeling like you were eavesdropping on the next table). Couldn't have asked for a better night!"

Forget the typical vacation spots where tourists seem to pile up, as there are plenty of other places on the planet where travelers can go to have an intimate, memorable experience in a gorgeous locale. Travel + Leisure recently unveiled its list of the best destinations in the world for the upcoming year.
The ultimate spot for intimacy is in Lhasa, Tibet, according to the news source, where one can find peace as just a tiny spec in the Himalayan expanse. This is a remote location towering approximately 12,000 feet over the earth, making it one of the tallest cities in the world. There are a number of luxury hotels in Lhasa where tourists can enjoy a quiet stay.
Those who want to make the trip to Africa should try on Zambia for size. Much of the land is undeveloped, leaving visitors to discover a vast area of natural beauty. Tours along the Zambezi River will afford vacationers a striking opportunity to catch a glimpse of elephants, leopards, giraffes and other animals in their natural habitat.
Considering a trip down under? Try out the region of Kimberley, which is located in the northwestern region of Australia. Explore the multitudes of Aboriginal attractions and make sure to include a stop at the Montgomery Reef, where green sea turtles, sharks, rays and other marine life call home.

October 11, 2006, 01:22 PM
Actress Helena Bonham Carter is profiled in the new November issue of "Easy Living" magazine. While much of the interview focuses on her relationship with director Tim Burton, motherhood, turning 40 and more, Ms. Carter briefly mentions her role as Bellatrix Lestrange in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
You're renowned for your English rose looks - have they been a help or a hindrance in terms of the roles you've been offered?
"...I love playing witches and I've done it several times now. I'm playing one in the new Harry Potter film [Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix] and I cannot wait to get my wand. I'm very fond of disguises, wearing a new set of teeth for instance; they instantly make you speak differently and completely change your face..."
You can see some great new photos of the actress as well as the entire article here in our galleries. Thanks very much Louise!

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Jelly sandals may dredge up pink plastic memories of childhood, but this sophisticated pair from Givenchy is anything but juvenile. The soft nude color is a very 2010 alternative to your go-to brown or black sandals, and the chain-link detail gives it a Riccardo Tisci-approved dash of rock 'n' roll. Even better, the rubber ensures that even if you get caught in a spring shower, your sandals will survive. Click the image to shop.

Authorities are looking into the cause of a wreck in Morgan County Wednesday afternoon at the intersection of Highway 231 and Highway 36 in Laceys Spring.
Crews recently installed a light at that location, and some have considered it confusing.
At least three vehicles were involved in the wreck on Wednesday.
Traffic was backed up for three miles.
Three people were injured, but they are expected to be ok.

Bug when uploading pictures with international characters?
Why when I upload a picture with its name with international characters, like: ábc.jpg to WordPress, the File name appears as: bc.jpg?
Instead, its Title and URL are correct. Please, see this screen capture: http://d.pr/i/1oFG
Is this a bug?
P/S: Please, PAY ATENTION that this behavior only occurs with images that the international character is the FIRST letter of its name, and NOT when are in the middel of the name.

One of the most popular spots in Hollywood, TCL Chinese Theatre is best known for the hand and footprints in its forecourt. No matter how much tourists or locals claim that they're not star-struck, within a few minutes of arriving at this historic landmark they're placing hands and feet in the cement prints or taking photos.
The Chinese Theatre is one of the most beautifully preserved of the movie palaces from Hollywood's golden era. The theatre opened on May 18, 1927, with the premiere of Cecil B. DeMille's "The King of Kings" and was the most spectacular theatre opening in motion picture history. Thousands of people lined Hollywood Boulevard and a riot broke out as fans tried to catch a glimpse of the glamorous movie stars and other celebrities arriving for the opening. Since this first ceremony in 1927, when Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks placed hands and feet in wet cement, over 200 celebrity prints have accumulated in the Chinese Theatre forecourt. Theatre creator Sid Grauman (the "Sid" to whom you see many inscriptions written) stayed on as the Managing Director of Chinese Theatre until he died in 1950. Tours of the theatre are offered seven days a week and it's just as easy and fun to buy a ticket and see the film currently playing. Today, The Chinese Theatre is sill the preferred theatre in Hollywood for studio premieres and fans still flock to these events to see the celebrities arrive and walk up the red carpet.

The Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics kicked off the 2012 baseball season a week before the rest of Major League Baseball, with games on March 28th and 29th. Seattle took the first game 3-1 in eleven innings, behind two RBI from second baseman Dustin Ackley, while Oakland captured the second game 4-1, hitting late home runs against three different Mariners relief pitchers. One of the A's home runs was hit by Cuban defector Yoenis Cespedes, who signed a four-year, $36-million contract in February.
These two teams were scheduled to open the 2003 season in Japan, but that trip was canceled when the U.S. invaded Iraq. While the A's subsequently opened the 2008 season in Japan against the Red Sox, this year's games were the first for the Mariners in Japan. That's significant not just because the team's longtime star player, Ichiro Suzuki, hails from Japan, but because the team's majority owner, Hiroshi Yamauchi, is Japanese.
Yamauchi, who purchased the team in 1992, is perhaps the only owner in the history of professional sports never to see his team play in person, a streak that surprisingly remains intact. With his team playing in Tokyo, a two-hour drive from his home in Kyoto, Yamauchi declined to attend either of the two games against Oakland, or the exhibition games the Mariners played against two Japanese teams. Ichiro, the only Mariner player who has met Yamauchi, was disappointed, telling the media at the Tokyo Dome through an interpreter, "Yes, of course, I would like to play in front of Yamauchi."
The rest of the M's players had to be disappointed too, if not annoyed, that the team's owner couldn't be bothered to have his limo driver take him to the stadium to spend a few minutes introducing himself to the players who flew halfway around the world to play in these games.
It was my first trip to Japan and I couldn't help but notice the differences between baseball in the U.S. and baseball in Japan. First off, even thought this was hardly a marquee match-up -- the two teams brought up the rear in the American League West in 2011, finishing a combined 42 games under .500 -- the games were both sellouts. That's a good thing for the "home-team" A's, who finished last in the Majors in home attendance last season, averaging slightly more than 18,000 fans per game.
But the fans in Japan were excited to see MLB return to Tokyo for the first time since 2008 and particularly delighted to see Ichiro, who, other than appearances for Team Japan in the 2006 and 2009 World Baseball Classics, hadn't played in his homeland since joining the Mariners in 2001. Flashbulbs were widespread throughout the stadium for each of his at-bats and Ichiro, who had his streak of ten consecutive 200-hit seasons snapped in '11, didn't disappoint, going 4 for 5 in the first game. This may have been Japan's last opportunity to see their beloved Ichiro in a Seattle uniform, as the 38-year-old's contract expires at the end of this season.
Other things you won't soon see on this side of the Pacific: Fans at the Tokyo Dome are allowed to bring their own beverages, including beer, into the stadium. Upon arrival, instead of confiscating your beer like they do in the U.S., a security guard pours your beer into a cup and disposes of the can or bottle for you. It's doubtful we'll ever see that in MLB, as the teams are so anxious to sell you $10 beer. Heck, at Seattle's Safeco Field, fans aren't even allowed to bring bottled water in to the stadium, because the team wants them to pay $4 for it inside.
If you do want to buy the overpriced beer inside the stadium, in Japan you'll get it served by a teenage girl carrying a refrigerated mini-keg on her back and roaming the stadium. Service was tremendous, with a steady supply of these girls roaming the aisles. Nary a minute went by without an opportunity to purchase another beer. In another twist, beer sales continued throughout the game and were not cut off in the seventh inning, as is customary in the States.
After each foul ball is hit, the PA announcer warns fans to "please watch out for foul balls," which seems a little late. An usher does blow a whistle as such balls are hit, alerting fans who might not be paying attention.
Exhibition games Seattle and Oakland played against Japanese teams the Hanshin Tigers and Yomiuri Giants featured the organized cheering sections of those teams in the outfield bleachers, banging drums, blowing horns and singing different songs for each of their team's players. One Mariners player, relief pitcher Tom Wilhelmsen, got in on the action, buying some Tigers gear and planting himself in the middle of the Hanshin cheering section.
While this trip wreaks havoc on the two teams' preparation for the 2012 season, it's good for baseball and, let's face it, neither Seattle or Oakland will be competing for a playoff spot this year anyway. Seventy percent of MLB's international revenues come from Japan, so it's important to continue to cultivate that market. It's expected that in the coming years, we'll see teams playing regular-season games in Europe and other parts of the World, as part of Commissioner Bud Selig's plan to grow the game globally. While I don't always agree with everything Selig does, exposing MLB to a wider audience is most definitely a good thing.

The Easy Fit combines the convenience of a one-size all-in-one diaper with the benefits of a 2-piece diaper: easy to care for and quick to dry. It's the best of both worlds!
No assembly required! This innovative diaper has a fold-out liner, which makes it very easy to stuff. But don't worry about unstuffing - the agitation in your washing machine will work the liner out of the pocket, so there's no need to get your hands dirty!
The liner is made of three layers of soft minky fabric: it absorbs quickly, and it absorbs a LOT. The liner can be folded to create more layers where more absorption is needed, or to reduce bulk if desired. Bonus: minky dries VERY quickly, so after the wash is done, these diapers will be back on baby's bum in no time.
This is a diaper engineered for successful leak containment and total convenience. With a wider elastic in the back and a stretchy waist, the New Easy Fit offers great protection, and a super comfy fit too.
The Easy Fit is colour-coordinated for a sleeker look. Snaps, hook and loop, thread and minky are dyed to match the outer fabric - proof that cloth diapers are more fun and fashion-forward than ever!
The EASY FIT is a one-size diaper (8-35 lbs); use the snaps on the front to adjust the rise.
All Tots Bots products are manufactured in their own factory in Glasgow, Scotland. You can be confident that their products are ethically and sustainably manufactured.
Our layaway offers you the opportunity to get the products you need on a payment plan.

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh Alhamdulillah I am a New revert of 7 months, I have been Married for just over one Month to a revert brother however since we got Married he has not prayed 5 times a day in fact he dose not know the Prayers off by heart. He is smoking Cannabis and today I found out he has been Gambling. He has not as yet given me my Dowry. We live in my property and I pay for everything he dose not provide for me at all which I don't have an issue with as he is not working but he dose not have any intention to get a job from what he says to me. I have been doing my best to have Sabr however I feel that I am doing myself an injustice as I get angry and very upset. I feel very emotional and I feel that my Iman is low when I am around him. I have spoken to him about this on many occasions however he dose not seem to take it seriously. Islam is my life and I do not want to live like this however I do not know what to do for the best. I don't have anyone sisters around me to speak to really that's why I have sent this question to you. Please give me your advice and what you believe the best course of action to be. Jazakallah Khair

The question has been closed for the following reason "Question is off-topic or not relevant" by Bibi Amina Jan 17 at 16:15
Asalaam o alaikum, sister, do not despair, I understand exactly where you are coming from. Make dua for your husband after every salat. Keep your duties and your Iman strong and do not fail in this respect, or feel lowered to your husbands level. Cannabis is a strange abomination that makes a person very forgetful and lazy. So pray for Allah to make your husband stop smoking and for Allah to then strengthen his Iman. Life may seem a real struggle and so frustrating to watch this behaviour and the feeling of being helpless. But help is at hands in Allah.
Kula is not recommended, as i read that to ask for this , the women then denies herself Paradise, if i find the quote , i will include it here. Also, it is extremely hard and expensive to get this kula passed by the shariah council. I should know, i ask for it to and regret ever thinking about it........and thus all was resolved naturally,,,, by Allahs will. Patience is a great virtue, and perseverance, so hold fast to these two requisites... qualities, for they will make for great stamina and strength in your Iman.
Allah knows best.

Nigel's top priority
8:10am Friday 17th February 2012 in Saints News
Saints can turn up the heat on their promotion rivals by storming back to the top of the Championship table this weekend.
Nigel Adkins' men are in buoyant mood after coming through a tough run of fixtures unscathed and now have the chance to leapfrog West Ham to return to the Championship summit.
Saints host Derby at St Mary's tomorrow and, though the Rams still have an eye on a play-off spot, they are mired in mid-table and could provide ideal opponents.
With West Ham, Blackpool, Birmingham, Hull and Middlesbrough all either in FA Cup action or kicking their heels this weekend, it is the perfect chance for Saints to crank up the pressure by sticking another three points on the board.
Though the teams around them will have games in hand, with several playing in midweek while Saints have free time before travelling to Watford a week on Saturday, every manager would prefer points on the board.
For full story and more Saints v Derby preview news, don't miss today's Daily Echo.

Week of 7/8/13
Old Dominion AD says school's best days are ahead
(The Virginian-Pilot, July 7, 2013)
The eureka moment arrived in the middle of a six-month, 18,000-mile, 30-state trip, a classic post-college journey of self-discovery.
Or something. Truth is, for much of the trip Wood Selig and a cousin, Hall Barnes, sought nothing more profound than a cold beverage and a couch to crash on at the next Sigma Chi fraternity house in the next college town.
Then they pulled into Seattle and Selig found his professional calling. He happened upon a USA Today sports section - one of a just a handful of papers he picked up during the trip - and saw an article on an emerging sports management graduate program at Ohio University.
Until that point, it had never really dawned on him that people made careers on the administrative side of sports. He decided then and there to apply to the program.
The cousins arrived home a week before Christmas with nary a scratch on their car, or their driving records. Not even a parking ticket.
Turns out that a talent and appreciation for responsible adventure would come in handy.
At the wheel of a couple of upwardly mobile athletic programs - first at Western Kentucky and now Old Dominion - Selig has earned a reputation as someone unafraid to make big but carefully considered moves that take schools places. (More)
Cruising to the future: Leveraging regional assets
(Opinion, The Virginian-Pilot, July 7, 2013)
Imagine a vibrant research institute focused on climate change, located on the Mid-Atlantic seaboard, in a harbor with quick access to the Atlantic Ocean. Imagine that this institute is where international research organizations have offices, places to dock their research vessels, places where they can see research projects, launch rockets and balloons to examine the atmosphere and test new technologies. Imagine that this place discovers new biologicals that will contribute to medical research and simulates coastal erosion by decades.
Could this institute be the Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center, with a new purpose and name? Could we think BIG, create a new multidisciplinary, multimember institute, a multination research lab?
If so, who might be a partner?
* The U.S. Navy. Surmounting sea-level rise and using alternative energy are Navy priorities as they impact national security and budgets.
* Old Dominion University's internationally recognized Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography and Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center.
* The Virginia Institute of Marine Science. VIMS has international research partnerships with the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, the University of Wales-Bangor, School of Ocean Sciences, the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology and East China Normal University, Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Research, to name a few.
* The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. Norfolk State University's Center for Biotechnology and Biosciences. The Mariners' Museum. The museum's special collection contains 32,000 objects and images documenting nearly 3,000 years of mankind's experiences on the seas and waterways of the world. (More)
Breaking apart our region's identity
(Editorial, The Virginian-Pilot, July 7, 2013)
The U.S. Postal Service's mail processing and distribution center in Norfolk is drawing down its operations, transferring equipment to a Richmond-area plant this summer.
Every letter dropped into a mailbox in Hampton Roads will be routed about 80 miles northwest for sorting and sending. Customers in Hampton Roads who still want a local postmark will have to request it from the clerk at the post office counter. Otherwise, it'll be postmarked from Richmond.
And so it goes for Hampton Roads. The change is, perhaps, the most immediately damaging to the decades-long push to establish a collective sense of identity among the 17 localities stretching from Surry and Charles City counties to Poquoson and Virginia Beach. It's one in a series of recent developments undercutting the marketing power of a region that has never quite achieved the name recognition it sought.
Last month, the primary group dedicated to promoting regional cooperation began the process of disbanding. The governing board of the Hampton Roads Partnership voted to dissolve after 17 years, in deference to a smaller, loosely run roundtable of regional business heavyweights. Dana Dickens, a former Suffolk mayor and retired president of the partnership, rued the decision. And he pointed out that loss of a postmark diminishes efforts to promote a regional sense of identity. ...
Dickens and others, such as Dwight Farmer, executive director of the region's transportation planning district, have downplayed the effect of potential tolls on the regional economy and identity.
But tolls planned, or under consideration, for crossings between Hampton and Norfolk, Portsmouth and Norfolk and Newport News and Suffolk, will amplify the divisions that civic leaders have bridged in recent years.
Tolls of $1.84 for cars traveling each way during rush hour at the Downtown and Midtown tunnels could start Feb. 1, depending on whether the Supreme Court of Virginia reverses a Portsmouth circuit judge's ruling invalidating the state's contract with Elizabeth River Crossings LLC.
A preliminary outline for funding the multibillion-dollar plan includes $2 to $3 tolls, one way, for motorists crossing the Monitor-Merrimac and the alternative, the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel.
Those are substantial sums for regular commuters - nearly $1,000 to cross the Elizabeth River, and as much as $3,000 to cross the harbor - over the course of a year.
About a quarter of Hampton Roads' residents live in one locality and commute to another, according to James Koch, an economist and former Old Dominion University president. He has spent years crafting the influential "State of the Region" reports used by local and state policymakers.
The steep financial impact on commuters would likely lead fewer residents to cross municipal boundaries, an outcome Koch said would amplify divisions and leave us all "poorer as a result." (More)
Chesapeake flotation spa business rises to new levels
(The Virginian-Pilot, July 6, 2013)
Friday marked the second anniversary of Float First, a Chesapeake spa offering one- or two-hour stays in two egg-shaped flotation tanks.
Business, owner James Ramsey said, is heating up. He apologized to a stream of callers Wednesday morning because Friday was already booked up.
For some customers, he said, the experience provides a burst of creativity. For others, a refuge for relaxation. ...
The market for the tanks could go far beyond spas. Possibilities include chiropractors' offices and after-surgery care, said Larry Lombardi, business development manager for technology at Norfolk's development department. The city's Economic Development Authority is providing $4,500 to US Float Tanks for website or marketing efforts.
US Float Tanks will pay Old Dominion University's Business Gateway $45,500 for assistance, including work on the tank's controls and molding process, said Jerry Robertson, executive director of the Business Gateway.
Ramsey said he's narrowing on a production site in Norfolk. In the interim, the first tank will be put together at Business Gateway's office on Monarch Way, east of the campus. That will start in the next two weeks, Robertson said. (More)
Tidewater Opera Initiative to debut in August
(The Virginian-Pilot, July 5, 2013)
In the first few minutes of the first rehearsal of the new Tidewater Opera Initiative, Kathryn Kelly and Suzanne Oberdorfer exchanged sparkling glances.
They were part of a lineup last month of six principal vocalists, seated in chairs, singing through Mozart's "Cosi Fan Tutte," a comic opera scheduled for Norfolk performances in mid-August.
The organization, which will make its debut in August, is their baby, and they were excited.
So was Shelly Milam-Ratliff, who also is in the cast and who orchestrated the group's initial connection with the Governor's School for the Arts in Norfolk. That relationship has enabled TOI to hop off the score and onto a stage in just months, rather than years.
Kelly and Oberdorfer are local talents who haven't yet landed mainstage roles with prominent opera companies. They said performers need leading-role experience to get cast. In January, Oberdorfer's dad suggested she could gain that by starting her own presenting group. ...
Oberdorfer, 34, has an undergraduate vocal performance degree from Old Dominion University, also teaches and recently made her debut with Opera Roanoke in western Virginia. That company's general and artistic director, Scott Williamson, will conduct "Cosi." (More)

US Senate backs immigration plan
(Nature, July 3, 2013)
For Gaurav Basu, a graduate scholarship in 2003 helped to fulfill a long-held ambition of pursuing scientific research in the United States. In 2009, Basu, a native of India, earned his PhD in biomedical sciences from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk.
But Basu is struggling to keep his American dream alive after finishing a postdoctoral fellowship at Old Dominion University in Norfolk in 2011. With his temporary work visa set to expire in 2015, he is now working as a consultant in northern Virginia - and fighting tough odds to stay in the United States permanently by applying for a coveted but scarce 'green card'.
Those green cards could soon flow more freely to scientists such as Basu. After years of debate and many failed attempts, on 27 June the US Senate approved a comprehensive immigration plan that would allow thousands more foreign scientists and engineers to remain in the United States permanently. "It's a phenomenal improvement over the current situation," says Russell Harrison, a senior legislative representative for IEEE-USA in Washington DC, which advocates for US members of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
Under current policy, the number of green cards that can be issued each year is limited to 140,000, a figure that is further reduced by per-country caps. Applicants from countries that send large numbers of immigrants - such as China, India, Mexico and the Philippines - must often wait for years, subsisting on a string of temporary work visas that can be revoked at an employer's discretion.
"Our system is absolutely, utterly broken," says Amy Scott, associate vice-president for federal relations at the Association of American Universities in Washington DC. (More)
Past union words, climate deeds stalk Va. governor candidates
(The Virginian-Pilot, July 3, 2013)
Fresh attention focused this week on past episodes involving Ken Cuccinelli and Terry McAuliffe which their respective partisans see as magnifying the alleged shortcomings of the two leading candidates for governor.
For McAuliffe, the blast from the past took the form of remarks he made at an April 2010 organized labor event touting his plans to have thousands of union workers build electric cars through his now heavily-scrutinized GreenTech Automotive venture.
"I'm going to put it right in the heart of Virginia," he reportedly said at an International Brotherhood of Boilermakers conference. "And we're going to have 2,000 folks down there -- all of them union members -- and show that when you do it right, everybody benefits, including the state of Virginia."
Those comments presents a double shot opportunity for McAuliffe critics.
They refocus attention on the unfulfilled promise of GreenTech -- the car company located its factory in Mississippi rather than Virginia and hasn't lived up to expectations yet -- and enable Republicans to insinuate McAuliffe's coziness with labor could harm the state's business climate.
The Democrat has ties to organized labor from his days as a political fundraiser that endure today: McAuliffe has received substantial campaign donations from labor interests this year.
Despite that, he's repeatedly insisted he won't move to repeal Virginia's right to work law prohibiting compulsory union membership.
"Right to work has been the law here in Virginia for 65 years. And I wouldn't change it, plain and simple," he said at a recent technology forum in Northern Virginia, though he didn't rule out labor-friendly deals if they make sense for the state.
Added McAuliffe: "I will work with business. I will work with labor. I will work with everybody. Whatever is in the best interest of the Commonwealth of Virginia on whatever project that is."
Meanwhile, Cuccinelli was confronted with his own record this week as Virginia Democrats held a series of featuring a climate change researcher the Republican nominee once targeted in a fraud investigation.
McAuliffe and the academic, former University of Virginia professor Michael Mann, appeared together Tuesday at Old Dominion University, recalling the 2010 probe Cuccinelli, a climate change skeptic, launched into Mann's grant-funded work. (More)
No "witch hunts," McAuliffe promises ODU scientists
(The Virginian-Pilot, July 3, 2013)
Sitting around a conference table with a group of scientists Tuesday at Old Dominion University, Terry McAuliffe sounded a reassuring note:
"If I ever disagree with you when I'm governor, I will never sue you, I promise."
The Democratic nominee for governor stopped by ODU on a campaign swing with a prominent academic whose profile was kicked up a notch by a legal tussle with McAuliffe's Republican opponent, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
Michael Mann, a leading climate-change researcher at Pennsylvania State University, was the target of a 2010 fraud investigation by Cuccinelli, a climate-change skeptic.
The attorney general tried to subpoena thousands of Mann's emails from his time at the University of Virginia, alleging that he may have misused government grants in his research.
The state Supreme Court ultimately ruled in Mann's favor, halting the inquiry, but not before U.Va. spent $570,000 in legal fees defending the scientist.
McAuliffe, a former Democratic national chairman, told the scientists at ODU's Center for Bioelectrics that he wants to nourish and diversify Virginia's economy "by bringing in folks like you and not having political witch hunts against professors who we may not agree with."
This was Mann's third appearance of the week with McAuliffe, after stops Monday in Charlottesville and Blacksburg.
After the ODU event, Mann said that his foray on the campaign trail was inspired by his court battle with Cuccinelli. (More)
ODU and the Concrete Canoe: Q & A
(Surf and Adventure, June 27, 2013)
One recent afternoon, the shop phone rang and on the other end was Old Dominion University student Zachari Ryan, who introduced himself as a civil engineering student and captain of the school's concrete canoe team.
Wait, what? A canoe made of concrete?
Unfamiliar with the existence of such watercraft, Zachari went on to explain the details of the competition, hosted by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Immediately, I knew that Surf & Adventure Co. and this effort from ODU students would make an awesome team. While engineering concrete that's very strong and buoyant is outside of our expertise, paddling in canoes (as well as kayaks and standup paddleboards) is one of our strengths.
We're proud to offer the ODU Concrete Canoe Team our support as they prepare for the ASCE's 2014 competition, which will pit the Monarchs against the country's best engineering schools. Stay tuned to this website, http://facebook.com/surfandadventure and @surf_adventure_co on Instagram for more news on the team as they work to bring another championship home to southeastern Virginia!

Transportation manager driven to expand his knowledge
(Penn State News, July 2, 2013)
For Penn State transportation manager Ryan Givens, working in the transportation industry may be part of his destiny. A native of Pennsylvania, Givens grew up loving cars and a fan of racing. After high school, Givens attended Old Dominion University where he was involved in ROTC. Following graduation and his commissioning as a Marine Corps Officer, Givens embarked on a military career where he worked as a transportation officer.
After 11 years in the military, Givens hung up his combat boots. He later obtained a position as a Parking Planner and Facilities Coordinator at N.C. State in the Transportation Department.
"I had planned on staying in Raleigh," said Givens. "But when the opportunity presented itself here, it was the one place that could get me back to Pennsylvania."
Givens aspires to advance in the field of transportation. His move to the position at Penn State was just one of the ways he made that goal a reality. Another was becoming a Certified Administrator of Public Parking (CAPP), a program he began while at N.C. State.
"When I got to Penn State, it was important for me to continue that program," said Givens. "Penn State has had CAPPs in the past and they were more than willing to help me continue the program. This program shows you have gone above and beyond." (More)
McAuliffe talks research at ODU
(WAVY-TV, July 2, 2013)
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe stopped in Norfolk Tuesday to talk about research and innovation.
McAuliffe joined former University of Virginia professor Dr. Michael Mann at Old Dominion University's Center for Bioelectrics. The pair discussed research and innovation as 'key components in keeping Virginia competitive in the 21st Century.'
"These are exactly the types of innovations Virginia's leaders need to support," McAuliffe said. "As Governor, I will do everything I can to encourage great thinkers and innovators like the ones here at Old Dominion to come to the Commonwealth, develop new products, create jobs here, and ensure that Virginia can compete on a global scale."
"Researchers should have the freedom to pursue areas of study as they see fit, without facing constraints based on a politician's personal beliefs," Mann said. "While Terry McAuliffe knows the importance of supporting the research community in order to keep Virginia welcoming to innovators and its economy growing, Ken Cuccinelli would rather drive his own ideological agenda and leave the Commonwealth's economy to suffer."
WAVY.com reached out to Republican candidate Ken Cuccinelli's office and received the following response from press secretary Anna Nix:
"It is no surprise Terry McAuliffe is campaigning [Tuesday] with Michael Mann, a firm supporter of the McAuliffe/Biden/Obama War on Coal. McAuliffe's decision to invite Mann to campaign on his behalf is a clear indication that McAuliffe has not budged one inch from his stance that Virginia must move past coal and that as Governor he will not protect Virginia's coal industry and the tens of thousands of people who depend on it. The coal industry is not only a key part of the Commonwealth's heritage, it also supports billions in wages for hardworking families and billions in economic activity in Virginia." (More)
Anchor Scholarship Foundation presents 2013 GEICO Scholar award to Portsmouth, Va., college student
(The Wall Street Journal, July 2, 2013)
Between tuition, books, room and board and other living expenses, college can be one of life's most challenging expenses for a student and their family. GEICO and the Anchor Scholarship Foundation teamed up to ease the burden for a Portsmouth, Va., college student and her family by awarding her the 2013 GEICO Scholar award. Charmaine Brawner, a student at Old Dominion University and daughter of Chief Boatswain's Mate Donnell Brawner, USN (Ret), was joined by representatives from GEICO at a recent ceremony where she was presented the $2,000 scholarship.

"College debt can be crippling not only for this generation, but also for their parents that sign off on college loans," said Danielle Dawley, executive director of the Anchor Scholarship Foundation. "Scholarships, internships and work study programs are viable and critical options for this generation. GEICO's investment in scholarships directly benefits our Surface Navy families and, by extension, our country."
GEICO has been a named sponsor of the GEICO Scholar award since 2011 and has contributed to the Anchor Scholarship Foundation, which helps support active and retired members of the U.S. Navy's surface force and their family members as they pursue a degree at a 4-year institution or community college, since 2003.

Researchers Retask Sensor Networks to Detect New Hazards
(Emergency Management, July 1, 2013)
When first responders arrive at a major incident such as a fire, they must first determine the extent of the hazard. Networks of remote sensors are ideal for this purpose since they can provide information without putting the responders at risk. However, they must be set up to detect the hazard in question. And most buildings don't have extensive networks of remote sensors looking for fire - chemical spills or other hazards - at all times.
Many remote sensor networks already exist for other uses. Some may monitor building temperature or they may be motion sensors. Others may be set up outdoors to track pollutants in a river. What if the first responders could quickly and easily reprogram these networks to detect the new hazard? For instance, maybe they could use a voice command saying that they need to know where the fire is, and the software would reprogram any remote sensors in the area to look for fire. When the emergency was over, the sensor networks would return to what they had been doing originally.
That's the vision of a team of researchers at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va., and Clemson University in Clemson, S.C. They hope it will be possible in the future for emergency responders to have specialized software with them for this purpose - built into their helmets. The software could quickly detect and reprogram any remote networks in the area to report, for example, not whether it's time to turn the lights off but instead on whether a certain part of the building is on fire.
The group is partway through a three-year project sponsored by the National Science Foundation. (The grant could be extended beyond the three years.) The project is called ALERT: An Architecture for the Emergency Re-tasking of Wireless Sensor Networks.
The goal is not to produce a marketable product, but to create a "proof of concept to show that we could accomplish this retasking with separate networks and a simple mission," said Michele C. Weigle, associate professor of computer science at Old Dominion and principal investigator. The hope is that if their research shows how it could be done, someone will turn it into a commercial product that emergency managers and first responders can use. (More)

I know very little about the Cadets. There is a 76 model unknown for sale for $850. New tires, battery, wiring, 42" mower Kohler iron engine. Is this a good price?

Re: Price
the 76 model is 7hp so not the biggest of the kohler engines by far. The even the 10 HP, 12, 14 or 16 hp engines have noticeable grunt compared to it
depending on condition, the price seems high to me. good running 76's with a mower deck are about 500 or less by me
Re: Price
Dan, is this a 1976 and the model is unknown or is it a model 76 and the year is unknow?
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Re: Price
Hi Dan
I believe the only cadet garden tractors with 14hp kohlers were the models 147 and model 149
those numbers should be on the hood
both had hydrostatic transmitions
If you could post a pic of it, I'm curiuos to see what he's selling!
Re: Price
Hi Dan! Well, Cadets refer to a IH Cadet Lawn tractors. Big difference between the Cadets and Cub Cadets. You are most likely looking at a IH Cub Cadet 1450. That too has the 14 hp. Kohler motor. This model is a hydro-drive, known as a wide frame Quite Line Garden Tractor. Very good machines!
Re: Price
Yes, if it's a 1976 tractor, and 14-hp, then it must be a 1450, 14-hp hydrostatic drive. Very nice machine! However, there is no drive clutch because it is a hydrostatic drive. There is an electric PTO clutch, so that may be the part that was replaced, and it is an expensive one too.
If it's in good running condition, all the parts are there, and the mower is in good shape, $850 is a good price. It's even a good price if it's running good but needs some cosmetic work. If it's a rust bucket and/or smoking or knocking, it's more in the line of $450 to $500.

Re: Price
Ok, well then you have two options. If it's a hydro, then it's a model 1250, and everything that was said above for the 1450 is the same, except for it being 12hp instead of 14hp.
However, they did make a 12hp gear drive model, model 1200, pictured above. Looks exactly like a 1250 except that it is not a hydro, and has a 3-speed gear drive with the shifter between the seat. This one will have manual lift for the mower deck/implements. It could possibly have a creeper drive too (big Bonus if it does). The creeper drive will be a small lever down on the transmission tunnel, that just goes forward or back. This is like a transfer case on a 4x4 truck, giving you High and Low range for the transmission, and gives you 3 lower gears than the standard 1st gear, along with a lower gear for reverse. This is and absolute MUST HAVE for using a snow blower or roto tiller with a gear drive tractor.
One of the biggest problems with the gear drive "quietline tractors - as this series is know by" is that the ISO motor mounts wear out, typically tearing the clutch out. If the clutch was recently replaced (as you indicated) then they should have replaced the motor mounts. If they didn't, then it will just tear out another clutch. The motor mounts are not a big deal, you just disconnect the drive shaft (lock the clutch pedal down first) unbolt the motor, and lift it up slightly. If you have an engine hoist or chain fall of some kind, you can do this without disconnecting everything else on the tractor, and just lift and hold it in place. Then you unbolt the motor mounts and install new mounts, then re-install everything.
The last two 1200 tractors that I've had I sold for $650, including the one above. Both were in similar condition. Good runners, good mower decks, very original but good condition paint.

I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.
Re: Price
that QL body is the same for the 800-----1650
and a good way to tell if its a 3 speed is the model # is a even # hydros have a odd #
West Central Ohio Farmall & Cub Cadet Club
Re: Price
Actually, both 1200 and 1250 are "even" numbers, divisible by 2 mathematically. The identifier is either xx00 or xx50, xx00 for gear drive, and xx50 for hydro drive.
The gear drives are 800, 1000 and 1200, for 8hp, 10hp, and 12hp. The hydro drive numbers are 1250, 1450, and 1650, for 12hp, 14hp, and 16hp. There was also a model 1100, which did not have side panels on the engine, had a Briggs & Stratton 11hp engine, and were belt drive with a Pierless, gear drive transmission. All of these tractors used the exact same frame, wheels, tires, mower decks, etc., so they were all nearly identical cosmetically other than the identifying model number.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A local high schooler has lost 70 lbs. by making a few simple changes. Now, she's turned it into a class for JCPS elementary students.
Cara Burch is the founder of Biggest Achiever.
"We were in health class and we were learning about all of the diseases and everything that can accumulate from health habits in general," said Burch. "Honestly, it kind of scared me because I knew my personal lifestyle wasn't where it should be at, because I knew I was overweight, and I really need to exercise more, and have better eating habits."
And so her personal journey began. As a freshman at Dupont Manuel High School, she started eating healthy, working out everyday and eventually lost 70 lbs.
"I got to school with a lot of people who don't have the right eating habits and the right sleep habits and the right exercise habits," Burch said. "I really wanted to take my success that I had with my own lifestyle journey and be able to share it with other people."
Burch took her healthy lifestyle approach to the Jefferson County Public Schools superintendent. She was given the green light to start a program she calls the Biggest Achiever.
"I really wanted to go back to where all of the issues -- I guess with my own lifestyle -- started," she said.
Cara started teaching the 30-minute classes to 4th graders at Tully Elementary School in October.
"Instead of eating Skittles, try fresh berries and blueberries and strawberries and apples," she said.
She also taught the children the importance of sleep and exercise -- all lessons, these students say, were easy to learn.
"It's really good to drink water," said Alyssa Brent, a fourth grade student. "Don't drink that much soda because soda can make your body unhealthy."
"I learned to also eat fruit a lot more because I used to eat, like, one or two pieces every week," said Austin Benningfield, another fourth grader. "Now I eat one or two pieces every day."
"I at least want to try to get it into maybe three schools next year instead of just one," Burch said.
The students are given incentives to participate.
The top students in the biggest achiever program win prizes like tickets to UofL sports.
