Diner Reviews
I have gone to Hu's on first
before and had received excellent service from mostly male service personnel. This time I received a dismal service. The restaurant was not busy at all. Two of my friends and came at 1 pm. The service was slow and poor. The couple that came after us had their orders taken and served before us. Took orders for drink as soon as we sat but took long to serve. No refills of drinks were offered until we asked for them towards the end of the meal. I asked for refill of my coffee, the server did not come back for my coffee. I had to ask another server. The servers ( all women) were gathered near the bar chatting among themselves. Our server did not even asked how our food were tasting"

Food was not up to what I have
experienced in the past. Rice was dry and hard, wrong kind of lettuce served with lettuce wrap appetizer. Best part of the meal was the lovely waitress."
Dined on 12/11/2012
Great atmosphere! Great food (but
my friend thought his rice was on the cool side). Friendly service. I would come back here anytime."
Dined on 12/8/2012
Nice and clean, but too noisy
though! We don't like having to yell at each other just to eat dinner. If people want to go there for snacks and to drink, they should be separated from those of us who want a dining experience."
Dined on 12/8/2012
By the windows is very cold which
I actually don't mind except that it made out food cold also."
Dined on 12/7/2012
we had a Christmas Party that was
loud beside us and a few people that were louder that we couldnt talk to each other."
Dined on 12/7/2012
We were served promptly and our
food was delicious."
Dined on 12/7/2012
We were there for lunch with an
out of town couple. Food was disappointing as only one of four enjoyed his/her meal.The server, service, ambiance and view just about made up for the food. I won't be rushing back any time soon."
Dined on 12/4/2012
Good morning, It's not often that
I respond but when I do it's ussualy positive. Unfortunatley, this won't be. I ordered the s+s pork/beans/brown rice while my colleague ordered the ginger beef/brown rice. At the end of the meeting we both commented to each other that the rice was awnful and was hard as a rock. That would explain why the both of us picked at our meal and left half on the plate. The waitress did not come by to ask how things were. However,she did ask while I was paying and when I offered her my comments on the rice, she responded by saying...."yeah, I heard that too and I don't know why that is." It's not what I was expecting to hear. The irony is that I provided 15% gratuity for poor service and food quality."
Dined on 11/26/2012
Kind of missed the steaming plate
of Chow Mein that used to come on a wooden plank. Had a visitor in from Germany and had told him all about it and was disappointed not to have that any longer."
Dined on 11/17/2012
Go every year in November to enjoy
the great food and watch the Santa Clause parade. We have not been disappointed."
Dined on 11/17/2012
We love the fact that the portions
have gotten bigger and the food was delicious. I love the promos that they had for October, free appetizer. November is 10.00 off order over 20.00. Great restaurant. We love it"
Dined on 10/31/2012
I would like to commend Hu's for a
great experience with excellent service provided by the host, and most notably our server. The cashew beef was tasty and the serving size was definitely ample. Our guest from Toronto was also very impressed. well done!"
Dined on 10/25/2012
I have been to this restaurant
many times. Was disappointed with the Menu and food, especially the entree's.Their Menu has changed. The appetisers were good. Service was good"
Dined on 10/19/2012
I've been at this restaurant 3
times and I'm always Satisfied about the food and the service. Waitress are always super nice and they make you feel special and unique. They take any complaints really seriously, they just want you to have the most enjoyable experience. I really like the ambiance."
Dined on 10/13/2012
Quite loud. Difficult to have a
conversation. Good food and service."
Dined on 10/13/2012
Food was very good, reasonably
sized portions. Serving person was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu."
Dined on 10/13/2012
I love the Honey Glazed Almond
Chicken - hmm,hmm good."
Dined on 10/11/2012
Been to Hu's on many occasions and
find it to be a great place for a good beer or great Asian fare. Bet it would be agood place tonwatch the ball game at as well."
Dined on 10/5/2012
The only thing we found was that
the rice cooker for brown rice was not working. For those who are conscience of what they eat, this was a bit of a inconvenience. Other than that, Hu's is always a great place to dine."
Dined on 9/30/2012
We would have preferred a larger
table for our party of 6. It was increadibly squishy and crowded when we got our food even though the waitress insisted that she could make the food all fit. That was very dissapointing and took the fun out of sharing the dishes we had ordered. Also, they did not have the only 2 types of beer that I drink: Molson 67 (they do not carry) and Michelob Ultra (they were out)."
Dined on 9/21/2012
Gave a writen request for a booth,
restaurant only had a few people. They tried to seat us at a table in the middle of the room when there was a booth open. We had to ask the hostess to move us. Our waitress was average at best."
Dined on 9/15/2012
On Sept 8 at 6 p.m. our
anniversary celebration. This was my 4th time at this restaurant. Waitress was very good, friendly, informative and attentive. We ordered Green Curray Satays for an appitizer. It was good. Once it came we ordered our meals. Our dinners came immediately after our app. plates were cleared. My husband had the General Tao' chicken. It was spicey, very good. I had the Honey Glazed ALmond Chichen. I was greatly disapointed. It was panko crusted. But my chicken had a thick crust, it was dry, hard, chewy. Seemed all crust and no chicken. I ate what I could. What I left on my plate I showed to our waitress. She apologized and gave us a 25% employee discount. We were finished before 7 p.m. Felt a little rushed."
Dined on 9/8/2012
Dined on the patio, nice surprise
that the Goldeyes were playing. Service was excellent, food was. great.will definetaly be back. Thanks for making our birthday dinner memorable."
Dined on 9/7/2012
Was our first time. Everything was
great. The service was excellent. The price was right. Will come again."
Dined on 8/28/2012
Waitress was not very friendly.
The food did come out fast which was good, but she forgot an item we ordered and did not apologize. She did not come to see how the food was either. She also did not thank us for the tip after she processed the bill. We noticed her chatting at other tables of customers she knew. We may not return, although we did enjoy the food and atmosphere."
Dined on 8/28/2012
Food was great but our server
seemed to be in a hurry to get us out. He was always rushing us"
Dined on 8/28/2012
My friends and I (9 in total)
really loved and enjoyed our dinner! This was the first time any of us had been there. The prices were very reasonable and the food was really good. Our server was also pleasant and came by often. It wasn't very busy (only 2-3 other tables) which meant we could talk with each other without shouting over the din. The atmosphere was also very nice. We would for sure head there again, I would recommend your bistro to people I know."
Dined on 8/24/2012
we arrived shortly after 6 were
shown to our seats immediatly.our waitress brought our menues right away and took our drink orders. we took our time studying the menu and ordered. we ordered another drink and vthe waitress appologised for the delay in our order. we were not in a hurray and it really did not appear to us there was a delay our meal was served we ate paid the tab and were in our seats at the ball diamond at 7:05 the waitress deducted the price of the appitizer for the delay of service even though we insisted it was not a huge delay fantastic service fantastic food fantastic resturant definatly will return and recommend others try it"
Dined on 8/17/2012
The food was excellent and our
server was attentive but not overly so. The only downside of our entire meal was that the General Tao chicken was not as spicy as expected. But we will live and learn and get the two chili dish next time. The dishes were all reasonably priced."
Dined on 8/8/2012
The food is always excellent. The
service is great. It is a great place for those special occasions."
Dined on 8/1/2012
We went on a Goldeye night...was
busy,but no problems....The outside patio was booked for a private function,so we could not enjoy the beautiful weather...food was great!!!"
Dined on 7/28/2012
don't eat much Asian food, but
still good. enjoyable."
Dined on 7/25/2012
Food was very good, quick service
so we made it to the ballgame on times, prices very good as well. All ready have recommended to others."
Dined on 7/14/2012
The food was fantastic! The
service could have been better with more attention from the staff. We had a really great time and would go back again."
Dined on 7/13/2012
One of our favourite
restaurants..........we are always treated so well! Front desk, server and management. Food portions are generous and tasty."
Dined on 7/12/2012
Our little table for 6 could
hardly hold all of the appetizer dishes and keep our cutlery above board. My drink order came back wrong once (wrong kind of Caesar) and our server seemed to be in a hurry for us to order though the restaurant was less than half full. Four giggly, preteen, girls made frequent trips from the balcony to washroom and that was mildly annoying. Ok that's the site, on to the food. I tried several appetizers: crab wontons - very good, lettuce wraps - ask for iceberg lettuce if you can, dry ribs - very tasty and plentiful, calamari - I've had better at the Keg, green curry satay - mild and almost flavorless. My entree was General Tao's Chicken and while it was a large serving it was simply alright."
Dined on 7/6/2012
Very good food, very good service.
Unfortunately too noisy for me. I'd recommend it to others, with a warning about the noise."
Dined on 6/27/2012
It was a fabulous experience. We
had tickets to the ball game and had coupons and we had a great waitress and it all went as expected and more."
Dined on 6/22/2012
Great food, however, the dining
experience was ruined by the waiter's demeanour."

Introducing Root Cause Medicine
Getting out of pain is one thing—but getting out of pain FOR GOOD is an entirely different matter.
Root cause medicine is the approach we use to identify the underlying cause of why a particular symptom or set of symptoms has developed.
It's common to treat symptoms with drugs. While that may work temporarily, what do you do when the drug wears off? What about the negative side effects? And most importantly... what about what's really causing the problem?
If you don't identify that which is causing the problem—and resolve it at its source—you'll never enjoy true optimal health.
Why Our Success Rate is So High
We accurately diagnose why you are feeling ill. And then treat that problem so that the illness or condition doesn't keep coming back.
We don't treat everyone the same. Instead, our team of doctors work together to determine what the best course of treatment is for each and every patient.
Providing a Multitude of Treatment Options:
You don't have to continue suffering. If you're tired of treatment that isn't working, or you're unhappy about taking drugs that have dangerous side effects, learn what root cause medicine can do for your health and overall well being.

KNOXVILLE, TN (AP) -- During 17 games in 14 cities across the Southeastern Conference this week, college basketball players will be showing their support for the Pat Summitt Foundation and encouraging awareness of Alzheimer's disease.
Leaders of the Pat Summitt Foundation, including Summitt, Board Chairman Jim Haslam and Director Patrick Wade, will hold a press conference Tuesday to describe the efforts this week to encourage fans to support the foundation and its grant-making mission to advance research for prevention and a cure.
During "We Back Pat" week, the games will include public address announcements and video endorsements about the foundation. Players will also be wearing "We Back Pat" T-shirts during warm-ups before the games.
The longtime Tennessee women's basketball coach announced in the summer of 2011 that she has early-onset dementia, Alzheimer's type.

"O Ireland, isn't it grand you look," admired philosopher John Locke in the 17th Century. Join us for 11 days of cycling on Ireland's western coast and you too will fall in love with the magic of the Emerald Isle. You'll pedal stone-lined roads to ancient ruins. Spend a day each visiting the Aran Islands and Connemara. And enjoy opportunities both on and off your bike to explore the rich Irish landscape and colorful villages steeped in history. But riding is only half the fun. By night, you'll enjoy the gracious hospitality, humor, and traditional music for which the Irish are famous.
**If this sounds great, but you would prefer a shorter tour, join us on our 7-day Cycling Ireland's West Coast tour.**
Day 1: Arrive Ennis, Ireland
Highlights: Colorful Ennis, County Clare, welcome dinnerWe meet today in Ennis, capital of County Clare. We'll fit bicycles this afternoon, then you are free to go for warm up ride or to take a stroll through colorful Ennis before we gather for wine and introductions. We'll enjoy a welcome dinner together this evening.
Lodging: June and August departures will be at the Old Ground Hotel and in July we'll be at the Templegate Hotel
Day 2: Bicycle to Doolin
Highlights: Castle ruins, medieval monasteries, Cliffs of MoherLow stone walls enclosing miles of pasture lead us today past castle ruins, medieval monasteries, and churches destroyed in the wake of the Reformation - all standing as landmarks across the Irish landscape. Then it's on to the coast and the extraordinary Cliffs of Moher. Our destination is Doolin, the epicenter of traditional Irish folk music. Dinner together. Distance: 52 km (33 miles).
Lodging: Cullinans
Day 3: Rest day in Doolin
Highlights: Irish music in Doolin, optional bike ride to the BurrenThere is no need to pack this morning, as we'll be in Doolin again tonight to enjoy the music in its pubs. Take the day off to enjoy a walk along the shore or take an optional bicycle ride into the Burren. This unique limestone region hosts a variety of wild flowers and plants unusual in this part of Europe. Dinner is on your own. Distance of marked route: 59 km (36 miles).
Lodging: Cullinans
Day 4: Aran Islands
Highlights: Aran Islands, Inishmore, guided walk in Dun AenghusWe are taking a short bike ride today to visit Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands. Once there, you can explore the main village of Kilronan before we head off to explore the rest of the island. Plan on a walk this afternoon to Dun Aenghus, one of Europe's most important prehistoric settlements. Dinner together this evening. Distance: approximately 8 to 10km on the bike, optional walking.
Lodging: Kilmurvey House
Day 5: Bicycle to Clifden
Highlights: County Galway and Connemara, bustling town of ClifdenWe're back to Kilronan this morning, where we'll catch a ferry north to County Galway and the village of Rossaveal. Just beyond lays the heart of Connemara, Ireland's "wild west." This area was devastated by the potato famine in the 1840s but has rebounded in recent decades through the tourist trade. Along with the Aran Islands, Connemara is one of the few remaining Gaeltacht regions, where Irish Gaelic is still widely spoken. Tonight we settle into one of the most vibrant towns of County Galway, where tradition and modernity nicely mix to create a lively atmosphere. Enjoy dinner on your own in one of the several pubs or newer bistros and restaurants. Distance: 70km (43 miles).
Lodging: July Station House Hotel, in June and August we'll be at Quay House Hotel
Day 6: Clifden

Those wanting to ride can take a leisurely 15 km loop ride along spectacular Sky Road, passing by the abandoned D'Arcy Castle. Anybody wanting more mileage can keep pedaling farther north on any number of the small country lanes of County Galway. Return to Clifden for a lazy afternoon walk along Beach Road, a cuppa in one of the cozy galleries in town or a tipple in one of the local pubs! Distance: 15-50km (9-31 miles).
Lodging: July Station House Hotel, in June and August we'll be at Quay House Hotel
Day 7: Bicycle to Delphi Mountain Resort
Highlights: Delphi Valley, Kylemore Abbey, scenic cyclingToday we pedal north past iconic Kylemore Abbey, where a visit to Western Ireland's top attraction is well worth it, and then continue into the unspoiled Delphi Valley through Connemara's tallest mountains, the Mweelrea Range. Situated between the wild Atlantic Coast and Clew Bay, Delphi Valley is lovely and remote, surrounded by stunning scenery; in other words, the perfect place to ride a bike. Our mountain home this evening is a historic resort nestled in the mountains which provides genuine Irish hospitality with a luxurious twist. Distance: 53km (33 miles).
Lodging: Delphi Mountain Resort
Day 8: Ride to Westport
Highlights: Great Western Greenway, Westport House and Country EstateWe are leaving Connemara and Co. Galway today as we head north to Louisburgh and then east to the small city of Westport in Co. Mayo, known for its multi-colored shops, cheerful attitude and continental flavor. Located at an inlet of the Atlantic on Clew Bay, Westport is one of Ireland's only planned towns. The award-winning Great Western Greenway walking and cycling route begins here and the Westport House and Country Estate, one of Ireland's most recognizable tourist attractions is only 5 minute walk from town.

Dinner is on your own tonight. Distance: 25-85km (15-52 miles).
Lodging: Clew Bay Hotel or similar.
Day 10: Bicycle to Cong
Highlights: Lodge near Ashford Castle, leisurely cycle through lakes and countryside, Quiet ManThough we rarely encourage you to rush your ride you might want to today because tonight we will be staying very near the grounds of the legendary Ashford Castle! Stroll to this 13th century castle built by the Guinness family; Ashford is surely the most dramatic castle in Ireland. We'll be just over a kilometer away from the village of Cong, perhaps most famous in the U.S. because the Oscar winning Best Picture of 1952, the Quiet Man, was filmed here. Enjoy the Quiet Man museum and one of Cong's excellent pubs or wander through the Ashford grounds. We'll enjoy a special farewell dinner together. Distance: 67km (41 miles).
Lodging: Lisloughrey Lodge
Day 11: End Galway, Ireland
Highlights: Shuttle to Galway, guided walk, farewellWe shuttle to Galway this morning where we'll enjoy a guided walk together before we say our farewells. You may wish to stay in Galway or use it as a base for further explorations of western Ireland. Whatever your plans, have a great trip.

Appliances have a solid place in the IT world as vendors take a stand-alone system and install their software on top for a very specific purpose. Storage appliances, network appliances, antispam/antivirus appliances, load balancers, and so forth all have a special place in organizations that see the value in having devices with lower setup complexity and allow for simplified support. The downside: They take up space in your environment (aka appliance sprawl), not to mention the added hardware cost they can incur.
One way to lessen the downside of a hardware appliance is to go with a virtual appliance. Virtual appliances are simply VM images that can usually be run under most major virtualization environments -- bye-bye, hardware sprawl. It's quite logical, really. If virtualization helps reduce server issues and hardware costs, it stands to reason that appliances can slip into the VM world just as easily. And they are.
[ Check out InfoWorld's "Eight great virtual appliances for VMware, free for the downloading." | Stay abreast of key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
One virtual appliance that I've worked with for Exchange load balancing comes from Kemp Technologies, which has both hardware load-balancing appliances and virtual appliances such as LoadMaster VLM Exchange. How a virtual appliance differs from its hardware sibling often depends on the resources allocated to the virtual machine, as you can see in this comparison chart for Kemp products.
Data centers often have racks of appliances bustling with resources that aren't needed by what their software does for you. By contrast, a virtual appliance lets you match the resources to what you actually need. In some cases, you may require more or less in terms of hardware performance, network ports, requests per second, and so forth; in a virtual appliance, you can allocate the resources accordingly. Plus, one of the cool things about VMs is that you can move them to another system if the current one can't provide the resources the appliance software needs.

Resource Workforce Center opens in Henrico
Community leaders and elected officials from across the region gathered in eastern Henrico Sept. 24 to celebrate the opening of a new resource center for job-seekers that is the first of its kind in Central Virginia.
The Resource Workforce Center, located just off Nine Mile Road at 121 Cedar Fork Road, is the first such center inthe area to serve both adults and older youth.
Members of the federally funded Resource Workforce Investment Board, which works to increase private sector employment opportunities, joined in cutting the ribbon to mark the official opening and followed up with tours and information sessions led by center staff and community partners such as the Community College Workforce Alliance, Job Corps, Virginia Employment Commission, and Senior Connections.
"It's such a beautiful day," exulted James Holland of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, chairman of the resource consortium of local elected officials, as he prepared to cut the ribbon at the entrance to the center. "We're having class outside!"
In addition to serving as a one-stop job-shopping resource for the unemployed, disadvantaged adults and older youth, said Holland, the center will also assist the underemployed. "You may have a job," he noted. "But do you have a career?"
The center will help entrepreneurs as well, through a program known as resource business solutions that asks the leadership from various companies, "What do you need to expand?" Among the companies that have expressed interest in such assistance are a growing food supply company and a railroad company losing workers to retirement.
But "first and foremost," said Holland, "[the center] will offer those who come a friendly face."
Deborah Wickham, chairman of the Resource Workforce Investment Board, noted that a great deal of research has gone into locating centers where they can best serve the more than one million citizens in the area's member jurisdictions, which include the counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, Powhatan as well as the City of Richmond. One of three area workforce centers (the others are in Chesterfield County and South Richmond, with a fourth opening soon near downtown Richmond), the 20,000 square-foot center replaces one less than half its size on Williamsburg Road.
"Eastern Richmond and Henrico contain some of the highest concentrations of poverty in our region," Holland pointed out, "and so we are opening this center where it is most needed."
Representatives of various organizations began their tours in the reception area, which features kiosks for easy registration and space for one or more police officers on site. Among features of the dedicated space for youth are computer labs and stations for resume writing, as well as facilities housing the Resource Youth Network's out-of-school program, the GOALS Institute.
The converted building, formerly a Verizon call center, also boasts a large conference room, a resource room that can be used to access the internet for job searches, and access to printers and faxes for submitting job applications and resumes. Center staff offer job seeker services such as resume reviews, skills assessment, career counseling, mock interviews, and for individuals who qualify, intensive training that may include free tuition to local educational institutions.
"It's all about connecting people with partnerships and working together," said Holland. "It will come to fruition."
Frank Thornton of the Henrico County Board of Supervisors, whose Fairfield District includes the new center, described similar visions for the site as he prepared for the ribbon-cutting. "This will be a venue of collegiality," Thornton said. "Of service to our people."
"You've heard of no wine before its time?" he asked. "Our time has arrived."
Snipping the ribbon, Holland added emphasis with a flourish and triumphantly held the scissors aloft.
"It's open!" announced Holland. "Go forth and prosper!"

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

LEXINGTON, KY (WDRB) -- A quick look at the University of Kentucky's 74-46 win over Portland in Rupp Arena on Saturday afternoon, a win that boosted UK to 6-3. Portland fell to 3-6.PLAYER OF THE GAME -- His scoring numbers weren't the best, but playing with a deep thigh bruise Nerlens Noel set the kind of "toughness tone" that John Calipari has been preaching in practice. He finished with 7 points, 9 rebounds and 7 blocked shots (the most blocks for a Wildcat this season) -- not bad for a guy who limped his way through 32 minutes.STAT OF THE GAME -- Blocked shots keyed the decisive first-half run for UK, after the teams played close for the first eight minutes. UK finished the game with 12 blocked shots -- a season high -- that keyed a defense which held Portland to 27.1 percent from the field. Portland managed only 16 points in the paint. UK scored 42.CHESS MOVE -- Calipari continues to ease Ryan Harrow into the point guard spot, and sophomore showed signs of settling in as Saturday's game progressed. He scored five straight points off a baseline jumper and catch-and-shoot three that gave UK a 21-point lead and brought the crowd to its feet in the second half. Harrow finished with 8 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds in 25 minutes.FIRST-HALF FLURRY -- The Wildcats shook off a sleepy start with a 16-0 run to take the game in hand early, holding Portland scoreless for a 5 1/2-minute stretch to do it. UK is 6-0 when leading at halftime this season and 0-3 when trailing at the half. Portland got within 10 to open the second half, but a quick 9-0 run put UK in control for good. UK finished the game with a 10-2 run that briefly pushed its margin to 30.ATTENDANCE -- 22,285.SCORING -- Archie Goodwin and Alex Poythress had 15 points each to lead UK. Julius Mays had 13 and Kyle Wiltjer 12 (on 5 of 8 shooting).
QUOTE -- "We took the same number of shots that they did . . . a lot of our just didn't get to the rim." -- Portland coach Eric RevenoNEXT UP -- The Wildcats will face Lipscomb on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. in Rupp Arena.

Dolphins End Historic Season in NCAA Tournament
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Senior Kylie Jacob and sophomore Sammie Strausbaugh each tallied a team-best nine kills on the night, but No. 5 seed Florida held Jacksonville to a .175 hitting percentage to win, 3-0, [19-25, 15-25 and 16-25] in the first round of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament Thursday night in the Stephen O'Connell Center.
Senior Alyssa Robertson followed with eight kills and three digs while hitting a team-best .500 and senior Kendall Courtney led with 24 assists and a second-best six digs, behind Mayara Prestes's match-high of 11.
"It's been a surreal season for us," said second-year Head Coach Michelle Collier. "This program has done really great things this year. We played a really good team on their home court, so it was tough. I'm proud of the way our team fought. I didn't think we hung our head.
"We tried to stay with them [Florida], but they take a lot out of you. They take a lot out of your ball control and take a lot out of your hitters. They are just a tough team to beat. We were happy to be able to bring JU back on the map like we wanted and now it's our mission to continue to get to the top."
The Fins saw their historic season come to a close in Gainesville with their best-ever record at 30-4 (.882). The Fins' second-best finish was the program's 1983 team that posted a 35-9 record (.795). The Dolphins also ended their season with the fewest losses in the program's 41-year history and competed in their second NCAA Tournament ever – first since 2004.
"In professional sports, these are the seasons people retire on," said Courtney. "So I couldn't have asked for a better season. One team ends with a win. This was my dream to make it to the tournament, so it's been a surreal year for me. I'm just really glad I got to be a part of it."

I need to know how to address an issue with my girlfriend. WeÆve lived together for six months. She has three young children ages 9, 5 and 2. I have three grown children that live on their own. My girlfriend recently got a physically demanding job and works 3-11 p.m. I work regular hours, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Since her new job began, all of a sudden she expects me to be responsible for picking her children up from daycare five days a week, and then feeding them and changing diapers after IÆve worked a full day. The few days weÆre off together she complains about how tired she is and expects me to change her sonÆs diapers while she ōrests.ö
She has told me that she knows this situation is stressing me out, but it doesnÆt seem like sheÆs trying to find a solution. IÆm really beginning to feel resentful as I feel she should be taking care of her children since she made the decision to bring them into this world. She has also told me about how she broke up with previous boyfriends because they either wouldnÆt adopt her children or act like a father figure. Although I do love this woman, I believe she feels that every man she dates is supposed to be a daddy to her kids. I need some help here.
Dear Jason
Thanks for your question.
While I understand that being a single parent is a very difficult job on many levels, your girlfriend is still ultimately responsible for her own kids. WhatÆs interesting is that many single parents are a bit apprehensive about involving new ōfriendsö in their kidsÆ lives for fear of making things more confusing and complicated for them. This is why IÆm surprised at your girlfriendÆs willingness Ś her eagerness almost Ś to hand over the daycare responsibilities to you. This should give you a good indication of where her headÆs at and what sheÆs looking for in a man.
Jason, youÆre a good guy to help her out while she transitions into her new schedule. I hope your girlfriend knows how lucky she is to have found someone so solid, considering that she brings a slightly more complex situation to the table than your average gal. That said, sheÆs taking advantage of you. Welcoming your help is one thing, but expecting you to pick up the slack while sheÆs sorting things out with her own life is a bit over the top. I think many people would feel guilty, even embarrassed, by thrusting these daycare responsibility onto another person. The fact that this doesnÆt bother her is a red flag in my eyes.
She needs to know that this arrangement is unacceptable. You need to have a sit down with her and explain that you also have a job and other responsibilities. And that while youÆre glad to help out, she needs to show sheÆs working on coming up with some other solution for her kids. She may get defensive, so before you say anything make sure you reassure her that you care about her and want things to work out.
Page 2 of 2 - If you canÆt work out then you need to do some serious thinking about this relationship. Clearly you love her and want this to work out, but how will this play out in the future? Presumably she has some great qualities otherwise you wouldnÆt have fallen for her, but good qualities tend to fade when adverse conditions continue over long periods of time.
Remember, Jason, relationships are about give and take. The two of you need to work together so you both are fulfilled and happy. Be careful not to settle for a relationship where youÆre doing most of the giving.
Good luck,

Right now the 30-year-old pavement on the south side of the beltline is cracking and crumbling.
That's why the North Carolina DOT started its massive "Fortify" project that's going to rebuild the 11.5-mile stretch of 40 and 440.
"This is a safety concern. What we've got is a chemical reaction happening underneath the pavement," explained N.C. DOT's Communication's Director Mike Charbonneau.
Charbonneau said a chemical that was used to build the original roads 30 years ago is causing the pavement to deteriorate.
"We've gotten to the point that, for safety's sake, we have to get in and tear out that entire 11.5-mile stretch of road and rebuild the whole road so that it remains safe for drivers."
Last week, crews extracted core samples to figure out how far down the pavement goes and how deep they'll have to drill.
The massive project will take 3 years to complete. At the DOT's operations center, Charbonneau explained the DOT is bringing more personnel to monitor the roads during the project.
Expect lane closures Monday through Wednesday starting at nine at night until five in the morning.

Are you a Company Holiday Party hopper like me? My friend and I went to several parties in the District and in Maryland, to include the huge Holiday Party for the World Bank. Yet the one that tops them all was when I got a call from Mr. Trevor Otts to cover his company Holiday Party. It's a joint venture between Haven Realty Center, R & D Funding Group, PSS Title, The Stanley Group, MMN Financial, and Pear Title. It's expected that over 300 will attend.

TUOLUMNE CITY — A few days ago, I drove through Tuolumne City and headed into the North Fork canyon on Cottonwood Road, destination Cherry Lake.
Smoke from the Rim fire thick, eye-irritating and choking shrouded the entire area. But the flames still were about 12 hours away from the Cherry Lake area. The evacuation advisory for Tuolumne City and the neighboring Ponderosa Hills subdivision was a day away.
I went there because I wanted to get one last look at the Jawbone range before it burned again. I wanted to revisit the Granite fire area, which became a moonscape 40 years ago and still bears some remnants: charred stumps and an area brought back to life through reforestation efforts.
That fire scorched 17,000 acres in the summer of 1973. By Thursday morning, as the Rim fire blew up into a megablaze, the same part of the Stanislaus National Forest was doomed again.
The Rim fire has them all beat when it comes to devastation. By the time this fire-breathing dragon has been slain, it will have overlapped the perimeter of virtually every major fire in the region since 1949.
Jerry Snyder of the U.S. Forest Service in Sonora graciously assembled a map showing the major blazes the Rim fire has reburned. (Click here to see map.)
The Granite fire is among them. So are the 23,000-acre Rogge and the 59,000-acre Ackerson fires, both in 1996, with the latter charring parts of Yosemite National Park. Same goes for the 146,000-acre Stanislaus Complex fire in 1987, which ranks 11th among California's top 20 wildfires by acreage.
There are others: the 4,100-acre Pilot fire in 1997, and the 1,000-acre blaze in the Tuolumne River Canyon that claimed the life of California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection firefighter Eva Schicke in 2004. It is expected to encroach on the 25,000-acre footprint of the 1949 Wrights Creek fire.
One that didn't make the map, also from 1949: the 8,000-acre Walton Spur fire near Bull Meadow, nearly in the heart of the Rim fire's turf. It killed two firefighters.
This points to the harsh reality of living, working and playing in the foothills and mountains: Forests that burned before and are burning now someday will burn again.
They'll grow back, some better than others. Some will be replanted, thinned and maintained by logging interests that own the property.
Other areas, primarily government-owned land, will take nature's course except when funding is available to clear the dry fuel from the forest floors.
Conservationists and environmentalists constantly battle over the commercial uses of a national forest. Indeed, the Forest Service is a branch of the Department of Agriculture because the forests are deemed resources.
View the area via satellite mapping and you'll also see a checkerboard of areas that were clear-cut harvested bordered by areas of lush forest at least until an updated satellite image reflects the ongoing destruction.
Environmentalists claim logging operations are destructive. Some argue that until a couple of centuries ago, such fires eventually burned themselves out and were good for the environment.
Fires? They don't concern themselves with political and philosophical differences. They just burn whatever gets their way. They go wherever available fuel and the wind they help create take them.
Which brings us back to the Granite fire of 1973. In the early years after the blaze, it was a moonscape. Over time, the replanted "plantation" forest grew back into a thing of beauty.
Brush soon overtook Jawbone Creek, though. I recognized the creek Thursday only because I knew where it should be along the way to Cherry Lake, and because I remembered there was a small parking place next to the stream where it goes beneath Cottonwood Road. Otherwise, it was hidden.
It probably isn't that way now. When the Rim fire finally is extinguished, I suspect the Granite fire area will look just as it did 40 years ago: burned to a crisp.
And along with the Stanislaus Complex, Rogge, Ackerson and other burned areas caught in the Rim fire's swath, the trees, plants and brush in the Granite area will grow again.
They'll become places of beauty and serenity again.
They'll also become fuel for another colossal fire someday.

Le-Tan's Library-------
"I like being obsessed," said Olympia Le-Tan on Thursday night as she welcomed visitors to the special project she had created for Pitti in Florence. And with an opening line like that, it was almost impossible to resist the web that Le-Tan had woven in the Museo Bellini, yet another of the jaw-droppingly beautiful Renaissance venues that seem to be ten-a-penny in Florence. When the Pitti organizers invited her to participate in this year's event, it took Le-Tan mere minutes to decide that she would celebrate her favorite Italian films and books and, by extension, their directors and authors in the idiosyncratic medium that she has made her own—immaculately embroidered "books" that are actually handbags. The museum was draped in red silk curtains with the OLT logo, pink roses trailed over banisters, candles flared in the dusty air…atmosphere for days. Every shadowy room had vitrines displaying Le-Tan's chosen 36 titles, precisely duplicated in thread as they would have appeared on the original book cover or movie poster. They covered a very comfortable waterfront from Visconti, Fellini, and Antonioni (her favorite of favorites) to Moravia, Machiavelli, and Pirandello.
But Le-Tan's stroke of genius—as far as the Pitti exhibition went—was to persuade a game handful of friends to be photographed by Max Farago as a character from each of the 36. Olympia herself was the apogee of lush sensuality, posed as Silvana Mangano from a 1949 movie called Riso Amaro. Jennifer Eymere, editor of Jalouse magazine, made a very convincing Giulietta Masina from Fellini's La Strada. Nightclub impresario André Saraiva was a plausibly penitent Jean-Louis Trintignant from The Conformist. As for Victoire de Castellane as Anita Ekberg in full clerical garb from La Dolce Vita? The success of that image was in inverse proportion to its unlikeliness. Poles apart were Hamish Bowles as Martin von Essenbeck, the cross-dressing Nazi from Visconti's La Caduta Degli Dei (more familiar to English-speaking aficionados of early-seventies cinematic decadence as The Damned) and the ubiquitous Olivier Zahm, posed stark raving naked as a misbegotten extra from Pasolini's terrifyingly transgressive Salò.
Later that same night, a handful of Le-Tan's cast of characters regrouped on the Borgo San Jacopo to reflect on their re-conceptualisation of Italian culture. Most of them were French. You can imagine what they talked about.

When the NBA scheduled its first "Basketball Without Borders" in Russia, it was a virtual guarantee that someone on the Nets would play a big part of the program. Now, the Miami Herald reveals that MarShon Brooks will be the Nets player headed to Moscow September 13. The Herald notes Brooks and his agent Seth Cohen "were spotted Sunday having brunch at Buena Vista Deli near Miami's Design District. The duo was overheard talking about their upcoming trip to Russia together next month as part of the 'NBA Without Borders Program'."
Ten weeks after losing in the Russian presidential election, Mikhail Prokhorov signaled Wednesday that he intended to re-enter the political fray. In a blog post, the Nets' owner wrote, "Now it is clear what to do next. We begin to act!" He provided no further details, but it was signal he wanted to participate in public life again. After getting only eight percent of the vote, Prokhorov said he would form a new political party to challenge President Vladimir Putin's United Russia. Then, he suggested a party might not be needed for democratic progress. Now, with this announcement, it appears he is back.
Mikhail Prokhorov, we're told, wasn't on board and we don't know if it was on Nets' business, but the Nets' owner's Gulfstream V made a curious round-trip across the Atlantic this weekend. After flying from Riga, Latvia, to Teterboro on Sunday afternoon, the Gulfstream turned right around Monday morning and headed back across the Atlantic to Mulhouse, France. (Maybe Deron Williams forgot something in his Moscow hotel room?)
Mikhail Prokhorov has launched a presidential campaign website, MDP2012, that is available in both Russian and English. It, like any U.S. presidential campaign site, has links to various social media, his platform, endorsements, campaign news. (If there's a biography, it's hard to find.)
For all the controversy about Mikhail Prokhorov being ready to put his Nets shares in a blind trust, first reported here, the chances of him winning the Presidency are actually getting worse. The latest polling, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, show his numbers, small as they were, dropping even further, from 4% to 2%, or within the margin of error for zero.
He's not running for anything in next month's parliamentary election, but Mikhail Prokhorov is still playing a role in his nation's political life, spending $300,000 to help a satirical troupe tweak Vladimir Putin. Prokhorov jokes he, too, has felt the sting of Citizen Poet: "I have been on the receiving end of their cruel and unjust humor (twice!)." Prokhorov has yet to feel another sting: that of Putin himself, but analysts worry it's only a matter of time.
Russian press reports that Prokhorov may join a new political party opposed to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin are wrong, we are told definitively. The information, carried in Izvestia and elsewhere, is not accurate. Prokhorov did tell a Moscow University audience Tuesday that he could ultimately return to Russian politics, but that for now, he will focus on "the development of projects for Russia". He told students he will return to politics only when "conditions are ripe for change."
The Washington Post interviews a 24-year-old Siberian journalist about Russia's politics and how the young man's political ambitions have been shaped by Mikhail Prokhorov. In August, Prokhorov asked the young man to run on his ticket for the Russian parliament.Yegor Bychkov was inspired. He saw a way for an ordinary person to start changing this huge country, the Post reports. Prokhorov is "a patriot," Bychkov said. "He lives in Russia and he wants to do something to make it better. There aren't many oligarchs like him left." Then, of course the Kremlin forced Prokhorov out...but Bychkov continues.
The "A-List" is Avenue Magazine's annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in the city and not surprisingly, among those who made the list for 2011 are Jay-Z and Mikhail Prokhorov. No Nets players made the list (Hey, D-Will plays in NJ) but Amare' and 'Melo did. The Nets posted a link to the list on NJNets.com.
The lockout is having a negative effect on James Dolan's company while the world economic crisis is having the opposite effect on Mikhail Prokhorov's prospects. Merrill Lynch on Tuesday downgraded the stock of Dolan's MSG, noting the lockout would cut revenues--about $1 million per missed game. The stock price dropped 2.5%. Meanwhile, with investors driving up the price of gold to record highs, Prokhorov's Polyus Gold said it will double its output in three years.

Wednesday, members of the Freedom Summer Initiative in Rock Hill put on an event to remember the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights movement.
The event hosted state and city leaders, South Carolina NAACP President Lonnie Randolph, Jr. and friends from the community.
"I'm really hoping to motivate and empower people in the community who may have been sitting around asking 'What can I do?'" said Wakita Barksdale.
There were games for children, speakers, question and answer sessions, along with guest appearances.
People attending also listened to personal stories of those who lived through the Civil Rights Movement.
"I have several memories that are fresh in my mind," said South Carolina NAACP President, Lonnie Randolph, Jr.
Barksdale said one of the main goals was to teach children about their history.
