Diner Reviews
We returned for brunch again - had
not been in several years. What a disappointed. The quality of the food is mediocre at best and the selection on the Sunday Brunch buffet is minimal. This is a shame because the spaces are nice and the service is top notch. I have also dined here with mice results. Summertime on the patio, fresh grilled salmon special - GREAT! Valentine's a few years back - great steak, but horrible salad, sides & deserts that tasted like they came from a grocery box. This restaurant has such potential, but the food is failing. Time to up their game!"

Decided to go to the bar area "The
Drawing Room" for pizza and beer... Everything was great! Decided to stay for Quizzo and had a lot of fun! We'll be back!"
Dined on 2/4/2014
We were disappointed with the food
selection this time. At one time when I went to the buffet, there were 2 hot dishes that were empty. I stood around for a couple of minutes thinking they would be filled but no luck. I did ask a server who went immediately to replenish them. We have enjoyed the buffet in the past and may try again to see if it has improved."

Whenever we want to go out to
dinner especially on a winter storm night or day we always head to Generations. The food is always very good and service adequate. The music was a little strange part of the time."
Dined on 2/1/2014
The food was ok. The main dish was
good, I had lobster. The stuffing was terrible. The side dishes were cold. Service was good, not great. I liked that bar was next door and had a DJ that we could enjoy after dinner. Their DJ was very good and energetic"

I'd visited the Sunday Brunch a
few weeks prior with a friend. We enjoyed the food so much, we brought a friend along. The Sunday Christmas brunch was busy. Many families were there and the restaurant had a Santa Clause there to chat with children. The variety of the brunch was wonderful as usual. From chilled shrimp to prime rib to simple scrambled eggs....they have it all. The dessert table was wonderful as well. My only complaint was the difference in service between our previous waitress and the one we had during this visit. Our previous waitress bought us banana chocolate chip pancakes and French toast without asking. During this visit, I only got pancakes because the waitress forgot which table she needed to deliver them to."

Had a Christmas luncheon for 8 -
they did a great job. Good service, great food, reasonalbe price."
Dined on 12/16/2013
Our reservation was for eleven
o'clock. By the time we got there the buffet was already wiped out and we waited quite a long time for it to be replenished. Even the server at the carving table was annoyed as people kept going to him to find out when the trays would be refilled. Our server was good getting us things from the kitchen specially made as the buffet was kind of limited. Not sure I would go again."

Group of eleven (newborn, 2 two yr
olds, an 8 yr old & a grandfather in a wheel chair) and everyone enjoyed the entire experience for Thanksgiving dinner"

Thank you very much! It was great
place to get together and we loved the "out of the way" section we were in. Look forward to coming back next year!"
Dined on 11/28/2013
was very happily surprised the
décor is lovely the food very good and the whole staff very friendly. Are waiter Sam was the best we will definitely be going back. Oh yes and they also had great drink specials"
Dined on 11/23/2013
We went on a Tuesday and it was
not crowded, so it was quiet and easy to have a conversation among our group or four. Everyone liked their menu choice. We brought our own wine and there was $2 charge per person which was okay. The waiter was very personable. We shared on dessert which was good."
Dined on 11/19/2013
Our waitress was friendly. The
chicken noodle soup was tasty and not overly salted. For dinner, I ordered the Spanikopita; my dining partner ordered the Walnut Crusted chicken. The chicken arrived piping hot, but my dinner was lukewarm at most and the pastry was limp and no longer crispy. It seemed that the Spanikopita was sitting on a counter for quite some time, before it was served. Also, the rolls served before the meal were dried out. Don't think I'll go back."
Dined on 11/17/2013
Had a huge party before we came in
for dinner. Our entrees were very slow. Waiter very tired."
Dined on 11/16/2013
We have dined here on a number of
occasions, including the Sunday brunch (which I highly recommend), and each time has been a consistently good experience. Good food, price point that isn't outrageous, lively neighborhood scene and our waiter Frank is a hoot. Very comfortable and cozy atmosphere without being dull or stuffy. We ordered prime rib and the seafood sampler both of which were good. If you are looking for a nice place to have a good meal with your family or significant other, I recommend giving Generations a try."
Dined on 11/16/2013
took awhile for our dinner to
arrive which wasn't too much of a concern because we were not in a rush. Our waitress was very attentive to us during the wait which was nice. We thought the food was just average, and should be modernized. We though the dishes we chose had no orginality. Something you would expect at a discount resaurant chain."
Dined on 11/16/2013
Seated at table for quite some
time, we flagged our waitress over to ask her if we could get drinks. I noticed her going back and forth to 2 other tables without coming to get a drink order from us. The whole evening was asking for her to come back with something. Don't get me wrong, she was a very nice lady, just not on top of her game that night. The food was good, but not over the top. They had a band playing in the other room which at times seemed very loud. When we got the bill the tip was included which we found very odd as usually the tip is added when there are 8 people or more, we were 6. We figured our waitress knew she wasn't very good so added the tip. The overall experience is not one that I am rushing back to."
Dined on 11/15/2013
Drinks were great and unique!
Appetizers okay but french onion soup tasted more like vegetable base. Main meal took awhile and was very small portions. The Shrimp .San Antonio was extremely tough! The seafood sampler had 1 piece of each seafood offered. Service was very friendly but no specials offered and slow"
Dined on 11/15/2013
Two couples went to Generations to
celebrate a birthday. We all had wonderful food, a delightful server (Frank), and the atmosphere is always welcoming. Service was fast but not hurried. A delightful experience, as always at Generations!"

I was very disappointed on Sunday
when I took her, my daughter and another grand daughter. I went there because my other times there were pleasant and enjoyable. Not so this time. We had reservations for 11:00. Food in warmers were either rarely refreshed or left empty. Egg were dry, sausage not of good quality, home fries afull. Desserts looked good but weren't tasty, except for sticky buns and turtle desert. When we left shrimp bowl was badly in need of refill, and most desserts and the buffet was until 3PM. Chicken marsala looked dreadful, pasta dish taste like sauce was out of a can. It took a long time for our 2 omlets, and 1 order of French toast. Good coffee. Won't be going back again. we had been there 2x before and also dinner"
Dined on 11/3/2013
We got the filet mignon, which we
had our last time there. Wasn't as good this time. Flavorless and fatty. Might try it one more time, since last time it was so good. Drinks were good, and cheesecake was tasty."
Dined on 10/29/2013
We found ourselves on the road nr
Media early Sunday afternoon, so I looked for a restaurant nearby. Generations had a table available for, so we went. They have an extensive Sunday brunch, but unfortunately, we didn't check the remaining quantities of food remaining in their closed hot servers. Because we were there at 2 and the brunch ended at 3, no new food was brought out. The entrees remaining were dried out from the constant heat and very sparse. I think the early dinners probably enjoyed their meals more than we did simply because of timing. The desserts, BTW, were wonderful! If we're ever in that area again, we might give them a try, if the timing is better."

Restaurant was quite a surprise,

We go regularly for crab cakes -

I took my Mom and her friends
there for lunch. There is construction going on at one side of the restaurant. The other dining room , private room and bar looked great. The food was good and the service was also good."
Dined on 10/9/2013
Generations never disappoints--it
has the best food around. It is always delicious, hot and plentiful. We all have our favorites, but even when we try different things, we are amazed at how good the food is. Our server was wonderful but service was slow. However, as we were with friends, that just gave us more time to talk and enjoy the company. It was an enjoyable experience, as always at Generations."
Dined on 10/6/2013
My husband and I had dinner at
Generations and thought the food was great, the atmosphere was cozy. We found out they offered bunch which was a bonus. The brunch was fresh and different variety. The services was great as we didn't have to hunt down the waiter etc. It was nice not to have to pay to park which is a great thing. Thank you for a great experience."

My wife, son and myself often have
brunch at Generations. We enjoy the selections and food quailty, although the "carving station" attendant seems to take flight quite often. The desserts are great and varied."
Dined on 9/29/2013
Worst service had to beg for
drinks, food came out at different times, steak was tough but checked was great. Had to beg for silverware, server couldn't identify the food let alone who ordered it and never got asked for dessert Suspect they are a big lunch place so the A team chef and A team servers are on in the afternoon and the C team is on at night because they have some good reviews but this was not a good experience"
Dined on 9/28/2013
Food is mostly pleasant. This is
the 3rd time I have been here. But the service, once your past the door, is always awful. No check backs, you have to flag someone down. Most recently, for lunch out server. Couldn't remember the order. A manager came up and interrupted taking the order. Bread was definitely stale. My salad had soft old fruit mixed with fresh cut fruit? it was nearly translucent. I picked thru for the good mango/strawberries. The music was loud & oddly raucous. We were there a total of 70min. Not unreasonable. But to be asked to pay, so she can get her tip and leave? Really? Go do other stuff, while we chat. Simply rude. It's unlikely I'd return here at this point, as this seems to be the way it always is."
Dined on 9/27/2013
Lets start with the waitress who's
greeting is "what can I git ya". Well drinks would be nice. I noticed two other tables going to the bar to refill drinks, so I had to do the same. The food was horrendous. The only thing that was good was the butter. Seafood tastes frozen and not prepared very well. My wifes crabcakes were cold. I wouldn't eat here again if it were free. Beware. Its a nice atmosphere , it such ashame there are so many other negatives."
Dined on 9/21/2013
Good food at reasonable price.
Convenient location and parking."
Dined on 9/14/2013
I ordered a steak medium-rare and
asked the waitress if they have any problems making it medium rare. She said that there would be no problem and if it needs to get done more then they would just cook it up a little more. The steak came out well. I sent it back and the next time the steak came out it was rare so I asked for it to be done some more and it still came back rare. I packed it up and took it home where I could cook it myself since they had no idea how to cook it. I have been here in the past and thought it was good which is why when we were in the area we tried it again. I think I will pass next time and try another place in the area. Server was nice."
Dined on 9/4/2013
My friends and I always enjoy our
evenings at Generations. Good food, attentive waitstaff, good prices."

Great brunch with nice choice of
breakfast and lunch options in a very comfortable setting at a reasonable price. Lots to like."
Dined on 7/14/2013
Our order for our main meal was
never put in, which we were ok with and the waitress was very nice, but then when we finally got out Cajun Rib Eye that we ordered medium rare, it came back overdone and was terrible!"

The manager came by to ask about
our meal we told him the calamari was rubbery and indelible. He did nothing about it"

Gully's Girls out, street dancers in
1:50pm Monday 26th November 2012 in News By Anna Roberts, Crime reporter
They have been described as "integral" to the Brighton and Hove Albion match experience.
But now Gully's Girls – the Seagulls' home game support troupe – have been scrapped and the club is looking for a new name for its dance outfit.
Albion has decided to make the much-loved cheerleaders, who have been a constant presence at first Withdean and now the American Express Community Stadium since its opening, a mixed dance troupe.
They trialled their first "street dance" routine in front of a packed stadium on Saturday for the match against Bolton.
While some supporters admitted the new dancers were talented, some argue they missed the old Gully's Girls, famed for fire-eating, high-tempo cheerleading and short skirts.
A club spokesman said: "The club's dance group has been revamped to something more contemporary.
"We have integrated male dancers and the new-look group opted for a modern street dance pre-match routine ahead of the Bolton match on Saturday, November 24.
Broaden engagement
"We also want to broaden the group's overall engagement with supporters before, during and after the match, with activities all around the stadium and on the external concourse, as well as expanding their role outside of the matches and generally making them a bigger part of the club.
"They'll continue to mix things up in the coming weeks, but having recruited some additional male members to the original Gully's Girls group, we are now looking for a new name – and we would welcome all suggestions from our fans."
Supporters took to the Gully's Girls' Facebook page to call for their return.
Keith Meredith said: "Pease, please, please, please, Gully's Girls I'm begging on my knees to get rid of those boys."
Michael Goldsmith added: "I say, bring back Gully's Girls – it starts here."
But others were more complimentary.
Alison Evans said: "Loved the new routine. We must be the first club to have a street dance group."
Mark Hewitt added: "I thought they were really good."
Talking point: To what extent have Gully's Girls captured the hearts of Brighton and Hove Albion fans? Could a new street dance group do the same?

Haven't seen the new group so can't comment on their skills, but I'm pleased that the old-style cheerleaders have gone. I'm not a fan of cheerleaders in football full stop, but also Gullys Girls were a bit of a reminder of the old amateur Withdean era.

Rudd renovations nearing completion
June 14, 2012
New lights are in, new seating areas are open in the balcony, the walls have fresh paint, and the floor is ready for renovated seats to be installed. In other words, Rudd is about to reopen for business.
Workers lift a section of the new balcony railing into place.
Vice President for Operations Tim Hostetler said, "It has been exciting to see this project come together, to see so much accomplished in such a short time. I think the results will be a significant improvement over what we have gotten used to." Click here to see pictures of the work.
The repainted, reupholstered seats are due back in mid-June and should be installed for use by summer conference groups.
"This is the first major renovation to Rudd's main auditorium since it was built nearly 40 years ago, and we are excited with the new feel and the look at what it will be like when we are able to add seating to the balcony," Mr. Hostetler said.
Vice President for Advancement Blake Hudson pointed out that the renovations are made possible by gifts from alumni and friends. A list of donors who have given $250 – the cost of renovating a seat – or more will be published in the summer edition of Bryan Life, to be distributed in early July, he said.

Women's Golf Adds Cassie Cleary for 2011-12 Season
FORT MYERS, Fla. – FGCU first-year head coach Sarah Trew has announced the addition of Daytona State transfer Cassie Cleary (Punta Gorda, Fla./Charlotte HS/Daytona State College) to the women's golf program for the upcoming 2011-12 season.
"We are very excited to have Cassie join the FGCU family," commented Trew. "She has been part of a winning program at Daytona State and knows the kind of hard work and dedication it takes to get to that level. She is a true competitor and team player, and will certainly help us get to where we want to be."
Transferring to FGCU following two years of competition at Daytona State College, Cleary will join the Eagles for the upcoming fall season as a junior.
During her time with the Lady Falcons, the Punta Gorda, Fla. product was a member of a pair of National Championship teams during the 2010 and 2011 seasons. Cleary finished 10th at the 2011 NJCAA National Golf Championship and 8th in 2010, earning second team All-American honors each season. Additionally, Cleary helped the Lady Falcons to three team victories a season ago.
The Green and Blue open the 2011 campaign with a trip to Lincoln, Neb. for the Chip-N-Club Invitational hosted by Nebraska beginning Sept. 12.

Former Governor Jeb Bush said he will not run for vice president. But in an interview on CBS This Morning, Bush also said this would have been the right time for him to run for president. It's the latest in a series of provocative statements from the two-term Florida governor.
He previously said the GOP debates through the early primaries were appealing to people's fears. He has also expressed concerns about hard-line positions on immigration that some republicans have promoted.
Then last week, he criticized Republicans who signed a no-new-tax pledge. He said he never signed such a pledge -- though he cut taxes -- because he said you should not outsource your principles and convictions.
Political analysts like USF's Dr. Susan MacManus say Bush has been speaking out to move his party to the middle. He will likely have a powerful voice at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, and MacManus said he appears to be nudging his party in a direction he thinks will help it win Florida and other swing states.

vacation rental description
Do you dream of the perfect view condo so close to the bay, you feel
as if you could dive right in? Sueno del Mar. Dream of the Sea.
Our graceful condo filled with art and light is the perfect place to
return to the best of yourself. We are located in the lovely Casa
que Ve al Mar just steps from La Ropa beach.
Back in 1978 when we first came to Zihuatanejo, it was a sleepy
fishing village, where you could spend all day at the beach lying
under a palapa. You could take an occasional plunge in the gentle
surf, sip a pina colada, dine on the freshest fish, and take a
nighttime stroll under more stars than you could ever dream up.
That was almost thirty years ago, and hardly anything has changed.
La Ropa Beach is a five minute walk down the hill with its arc of
crystalline white sand, gentle waves, beachside restaurants and the
area's finest luxury hotels. You can swim, get a beachside massage,
dine at one of 16 beach front restaurants and lounge under a palapa.
The authentic fishing village of Zihuatanejo, with its charming
cobble stoned streets, is only a 15 minute walk away. El Centro
offers shopping, spas, yoga, dancing, dining, sunset cruises, and
deep sea fishing. You can buy the morning's fresh catch at the
harbor or stock up on supplies at the Mercado Central, an old world
style market place. Bring some room in your suitcase for the
treasures of locally made handicrafts you will find in the Artisan
To the north and south are open water beaches with world class
surfing. Ixtapa has two golf courses (one by our friend, Robert
Trent Jones, Jr.), swimming with dolphins and tons of nightlife.
This is our dream of a place by the sea and our private hideaway.
It is convenient, serene and offers up all of Zi's natural splendor. We would be pleased to share that dream with you.

I think the two top legislative priorities are education and economic development. With all the school opt-outs, we must fix this problem. Money may not be the only problem, but it is certainly the largest. We also need economic development to keep more of our young people, our future leaders, in the state. We have a tremendous potential in alternative energy growth. We must develop this as soon as possible. We will then be less reliant on foreign oil which often funds terrorist activity.
I think the two top legislative priorities are education and economic development. With all the school opt-outs,

Georges St. Pierre is unquestionably the best welterweight in MMA today. Josh Koscheck is going to re-test that hypothesis on Saturday at UFC 124. But in the minds of most observers, the only questions about GSP's abilities that remain are whether or not he's the best welterweight in history and whether or not he's the best pound-for-pound fighter in MMA today.
His technical acumen, physicial gifts, brains, thirst for knowledge, and incredible work ethic have combined to create an MMA monster. He began his martial arts life at 7 training in kyokushin karate, even giving up ice hockey at age 12 to focus on his karate. He's since become a jiu jitsu black belt, but he is perhaps most highly regarded for his application of wrestling to MMA.
We've wallowed in a couple of our favorite GSP technical showcases in previous Judo Chops, but have truly only scratched the surface:
- Georges St Pierre and the Superman Punch
- Thiago Alves Could Not Stop Georges St. Pierre's Chain of Takedowns
BB: Why did you choose karate?
St. Pierre: I liked karate better because hockey is a team sport and in karate, like any other martial art, you're alone. You decide your own destiny. Sometimes when you play hockey, you play very well but your teammates don't, so it messes up everything.
BB: Has karate affected your personal growth and discipline?
St. Pierre: I'm very happy that I learned karate when I was young. A lot of people told me that it's useless in fighting, but they're wrong. I'm pretty sure if I hadn't done it, I wouldn't be at this level today. Karate made me a lot stronger, and it made me flexible and athletic like I am right now. When I'm fighting, I'm not doing kata, but I use a lot of kicks and techniques that I learned from kyokushin.
BB: When did you begin to branch out and learn ground skills?
St. Pierre: I started learning jujutsu because when I was 12 or 13 years old, my karate teacher died. Before he died, he gave me my second-degree black belt. I stopped doing kyokushin and started doing muay Thai. I liked muay Thai, but then I saw the first Ultimate Fighting Championship with Ken Shamrock, and those guys inspired me to become a mixed-martial arts fighter. As soon as I saw the UFC, I wanted to train for it, but at that time jujutsu didn't exist in Montreal. I decided to train in muay Thai, and later on I got my third-degree black belt in karate. When I was 16, I found a good place to do Brazilian jujutsu. When I was 18 or 19, I started wrestling and boxing.
We'll look at some excerpts from the Judo Chops in the full entry and I'll be adding gifs from his other fights in comments
From the piece on the Superman Punch:
On the right we see one of GSP's most epochal uses of the superman punch. In the closing seconds of the first round of his rematch with then champ Matt Hughes, GSP absolutely drills Hughes with it. The straight on angle in slo-mo gives a very visceral account of the sheer impact of the technique as GSP's right hand makes contact with Hughes' forehead. But a close look also shows that Hughes is bringing his left leg up to block what he instinctively assumes is going to be a kick. It appears that Hughes may have begun to realize what was coming as he first drops his hands then begins to lift them up to attempt to cover his face, but it's too late and the punch comes in over the top, sending Hughes reeling.
From the piece on his wrestling against Thiago Alves:
In the first takedown, we see St. Pierre attempt to run the pipe off of the single leg only to switch to a double leg to finish. When running the pipe to finish the single, you're circle your back leg clockwise or counterclockwise (depending on which leg it is, but the motion is always to the rear) while you pressure your chest down on the thigh of your opponent. This forces them off balanced hopping on one leg while you drive them down. In this instance, St. Pierre attempts to run the pipe, but a strong Alves resists. Sensing he can't get Alves to the mat off the single leg alone, St. Pierre uses Alves' balancing leg - also the supporting leg - to transition to and subsequently finish the double. A double, mind you, that's aided by St. Pierre changing angles on the takedown at the last push. This is an impressive, athletic feat and one St. Pierre has likely drilled under the tutelage of the world-class wrestlers on the Canadian national wrestling team (and the others he trains with).

Ambient temperature, heat generated during a hard run, spool diameter as line leaves a reel — all these variables can affect a reel's drag. Each might change your drag only slightly, but their combined effects can quickly compound.
For example, set a drag on a warm afternoon and leave it overnight. If you hook a big fish the next morning and it happens to be chilly out, your drag's now tighter. If a big fish zips out 150 or 200 yards of line, your drag's now tighter. If you fail to realize and allow for that — snap! It's a sad story and one oft repeated, but avoidable. When that 50- or 60-pound kingfish, striped bass or mahi piles on, understanding how drags change and applying that knowledge during the fight might make the difference between getting that trophy to the boat or ending up with just another fish story. Here are seven suggestions to help you understand why drag tension changes and how to deal with it.
1. Know When to Back Off the Drag: "I've seen star-drag reels get hotter than a firecracker," says Gary Jarvis, captain of the charter boat Back Down 2 in Destin, Florida. That sudden heat tightens drags — actually changing friction between drag surfaces. If they get too hot, drags might stick, requiring even more pressure to start the spool rolling each time the fish takes line. "In lever-drag reels, the drags are almost the same diameter as the spool. Star-drag reels have a smaller drag surface area," Jarvis explains. He also brings up another critical difference — lever-drag reels apply pressure directly to the spool; each turn of the spool is one rotation against drag surfaces. Star-drag systems work through the gears, so a reel with a 6-to-1 gear ratio takes six turns of the spool to turn drag washers once. This puts extra pressure on smaller drag surfaces and generates heat quickly. To combat that heat on any reel, but particularly on those with star drags, Jarvis says to back star drags off a bit on prolonged hard runs, and even use the washdown hose to cool reels.
2. Adjust for Shrinking Spool Diameter: "Spool diameter" is a function of how much line remains on the spool. Each yard of line the fish pulls shrinks the effective spool diameter, and as it gets smaller, the spool has to turn more times to release a given length of line, putting more pressure on the fishing line. Tall, narrow spools shrink in diameter faster than short, wide ones for a given length of line removed. "People see that spool getting smaller, and they tend to tighten the drag, but that's the last thing you want to do," Jarvis says. Instead, loosen the drag as line comes off the reel and usable spool diameter shrinks. Make the mistake of tightening the drag or failing to loosen it and, Jarvis says, "nine times out of 10, you'll break that fish off before you get spooled."
3. Watch the Rod to Gauge Drag Stress: "Look at your rod tip. When you see that rod bend increase, that's when you need to back off your drag," Jarvis says. He uses fast-action rods that show increased strain well. When chasing a fish, a boat captain can read the rod bend to help him gauge strain on the line.
4. Know Your Foe: The extent and nature of strain on a drag varies widely by the type of fight. "If an angler's fighting a wahoo or big king, you can almost drive up on it, but you know that fish is going to run again," Jarvis says. As these known sprinters swim slowly between blistering runs, Jarvis uses the boat to regain line while also buying time for the drag to cool, especially on a smaller reel. On the other hand, Jarvis has to let anglers slug it out with slow, powerful fish like amberjacks, but these heat the drags less. Particularly when anglers are fighting any species known for both speed and endurance, they will need to adjust drag pressure during the battle, even as the captain maneuvers to keep after the fish.
Tips for Drag Control
Ambient temperature, heat generated during a hard run, spool diameter as line leaves a reel — all these variables can affect a reel's drag. Each might change your drag only slightly, but their combined effects can quickly compound.

Anthony Doerr has previously published four books—one nonfiction, one novel and two story collections. His collection Memory Wall in particular helped him stand out from the crowds of writers; it was strange, magical and bold. He has won a number of awards, which is always partly a matter of luck, but he deserved them. His newest book, another novel, takes place primarily during World War II, the main characters a German boy and a blind French girl who...

To review a book about a publishing house seems a rather dreary assignment. Who but the most ardent bibliophiles care about print runs and author advances? Does it really matter what appeared in the fall catalogue of 1963? But when the publishing house is home to Nobel Prize-winners and Pulitzer darlings and run by a Guggenheim, well, then things get a little more interesting. Add to the mix a brilliant, Jesuit-educated editor who worked with Thomas Merton...

In August Poland commemorated the 70th anniversary of its uprising against the Nazi occupation. The heroic but hopeless 63-day struggle of the poorly armed Polish underground Home Army against the S.S. troops devastated Warsaw, killed thousands and fulfilled, at least temporarily, Hitler's wish to erase the Polish capital from the face of the earth.

These two books come from cultured and urbane Catholic professors of theology, one at Boston College (Imbelli) and the other at St. Mary's University, Twickenham, London (Bullivant). Neither needs to raise his voice to make his case effectively. Both are concerned, albeit in different ways, to contribute to the new evangelization of post-Christians or "resting" Christians in the North Atlantic world. Their writing draws energy from the radiant vision of the...

One of the hallmarks of the young papacy of Pope Francis has been his repeated critique of what he calls the contemporary "economy of inequality and exclusion." Some commentators have seen this as an indictment of the present moment, but the pope's stance would be misinterpreted if it is seen as only a punctual concern rather than as a perennial one. His experience of inequality and its pernicious effects was formed in the crucible of decades accompanying his...

I admire the gumption of Richard J. Regan, S.J., who attempts and pretty well succeeds at making sense of the U.S. Supreme Court's jurisprudence on the First Amendment's free exercise and establishment clauses. Those few words, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" have generated more judicial ink than any other part of our Constitution.

In this collection of interrelated, multigenerational stories, A Kind of Dream, Kelly Cherry explores themes of family, creativity and mortality. Though it is the third of a trilogy, preceded by My Life and Dr. Joyce Brothers and The Society of Friends: Stories, A Kind of Dream is intended to stand alone and self-contained, as its separate narratives and varied points of view eventually resolve themselves into the consciousness of...

When the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, many exiled Iraqis expressed the cautious hope that the U.S. occupation would wind down in a few years and that the country would become a viable democracy. For Zaid Al-Ali, whose family had left Iraq before he was born, this meant leaving a lucrative commercial litigation and arbitration legal practice in Paris in 2005 to work for the United Nations in Iraq drafting a legal framework for the Iraqi parliament,...

We know for sure that someone is permanently relevant when his or her name becomes an adjective. In the week—last week of March 2014—I finished the most recent of the very many intellectual biographies of George Orwell, his adjectived name appeared twice in Brooklyn (in our diocesan newspaper and in the Playbill for a performance of "King Lear" at the newly completed Polanski Shakespeare Center), as well as in a New York Times op-ed essay. In this respect at...

One of the many expressions of the "Francis effect" is the renewed prominence of "mercy." Pope Francis, of course, is not the first pope to speak of mercy in the context of God's relationship with humanity, but it is certainly his signature tune—the word occurs more than 30 times in "The Joy of the Gospel."

Indications are the Panthers have not ruled out trading RB Jonathan Stewart this offseason, but we're told GM Marty Hurney will not give him up easily. Speculation turned to a potential swap involving Stewart earlier this week after the Panthers signed RB Mike Tolbert to a four-year deal, crowding a RB stable that already included DeAngelo Williams, Stewart — who is heading into the final year of his rookie contract — and Mike Goodson, who is also in the final year of his deal.
Carolina won't be motivated to trade Stewart for a moderate-to-low haul because Hurney knows the Panthers will likely receive a compensatory draft pick — perhaps as high as a third-round selection — if Stewart becomes a free agent next offseason and signs elsewhere. We hear offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski is intrigued by the idea of having so many different options at running back, and the Panthers would be content to head into the season with the group of backs they have now.

Mark McGonigal
CEO of ICON Building Systems
IQS Metal Building Design and Pricing Software has been upgraded 169 times in the last 6 years. Yeah, we know that's an average of once every 13 days. And you thought Apple had a lot of updates. It has been around for a decade now, but suffice it to say it is still new, and ever changing to suit the needs of today's demanding customers.
At the turn of the century (this one) there was one thing that would separate us from the pack. We had a simple way to get pricing on a Metal Building that was automated. It wasn't IQS just yet, but it was the embryo of sorts. Was it a little rough around the edges? Sure, but it worked. Did we have some bugs to fix? Sure, but all great software is not without flaws in its infancy, and throughout its lifetime.
The other day David Garcia (ICON's CIO) and I were reminiscing about the past and how much has changed since we'd met and started working together. ICON to this day still has a start-up mentality. He said, "Fail fast, fail often." Obviously we attempt to discover all our failings in the test-beds and sandboxes of our software development environment. Failing forges our success. Run, check, fail, re-write, and repeat until it's right.
It takes quite a bit of fortitude to hang on to something for so long and I could not be more proud of where IQS is today and that the next generation of our Metal Building Software will be running on the web as well as Microsoft Windows, Mac OSX, iOS, and Android.
In late 2007, we had a limited release of IQS and in 2008 we publicly introduced the world's first and only free Metal Building Software. IQS has over a quarter-million users to date and more than 1.5 million building configurations have been designed with our system. With more than 250,000 users and counting, IQS is by far the number one software on the planet for metal buildings. I am anxiously awaiting the day when I can use IQS on my iPhone, and that may be sooner than you think.
ICON still has the best pricing in the industry matched with customer service. When you compare our products and services, you will see why ICON is still the number one in our industry, worldwide.

When I think about the landscape of the ever-changing marketplace, I am truly amazed. Looking at an upside down photograph with my head sloughed over the edge of my beanbag chair I realize two things. One, I am in a state of omphaloskepsis, and two, Amazon is talking serious about UAV drone deliveries. Then it hits me, I must set out on a mission to buy a small video drone on Amazon and so I did. And when it arrives I plan to fly it around the office in hopes of catching someone sleeping. I must say I do love Amazon Prime.
Though on some level I find myself pondering the day when Amazon, Apple and Google join forces with Elon Musk and rewrite a new constitution and install an intelligent government that works on a logical platform of algorithms that balance the budget and requires no campaign donations. Somehow the idea of smart and generous people running things is soothing to my soul.
I've seen a lot of things change in my time. Seven years ago I said that our economic cycle is one that has been fairly predictable over the last 100 years, and while we can't know what will happen with any certainty, if enough people are saying things are bad, or good, for long enough, well then eventually we believe. More specifically (and perhaps importantly) I said, "Consider that there is a dynamic involved in our economy - that we have not yet had the time or ability to measure - it is called the Internet." You are using it now and don't realize the magnitude of what Al Gore created.
And today, we now have the ability to measure such things on an infinite number of levels. Within the last seven years ICON has compounded and aggregated data to not only better understand our market but the needs and wants of our customers. So I will ask the same question I did back then - Can you imagine life without the Internet?
This incomprehensible latticework of ever-inter-connectivity has opened up the world to any and everyone who chooses to take advantage of the technology. Our economy is no longer constricted to a single country or continent, rather, there is an economic balancing act across the planet. Hell, there is now a stock market dedicated to millisecond traders who have invested billions to race fractionally ahead.
Yes, time has transformed our world beyond what generations before us could have ever imagined. I'm nearing a half-century old and I still remember my first computer and learning to program at the age of 8, using a suction cup modem and a rotary dial phone to chat via BBS to my co-geeks. Today, as ICON's CEO, I look at how our business is growing across the globe and it is impossible to deny that technology combined with a drive to succeed has put us in a category all our own.
March 18, 2014
The internet is no doubt the most powerful tool to shop with. But it comes with a heavy price for a lot of unsuspecting consumers, so let us set the bar for you. No other company offers you free design software. They can't - but we do. Only a few sources allow you to price online. We were the first to provide it in REAL-TIME. Others have tried to copy us, and have failed. It is easy to see that we offer the most comprehensive solutions - period. When we released IQS people were not just amazed at the technology, they became addicted to it. Some competitors said we would fail. The same people have seen our business grow leaps and bounds beyond theirs. We are not just a "handy tool" for pricing, we are a group of highly intelligent people dedicated to being the best at what we do, and we hold ourselves above the rest. We work harder and we never stop trying to improve.
We have quality control at every step along the way, and we show you your plans up front. With us you see what you are getting - we won't sell you a pile of metal and advise you to learn how to weld. Hey, while you are sitting around looking for a deal consider this - ICON is the number one source for the design and manufacture of your Metal Building online. We didn't get here by slacking. We didn't get here by taking deposits and not returning phone calls, or changing our name every few months to avoid lawsuits.
Since the beginning we have had the same vision. The goal is pretty simple - be successful. In all we do, in our methods, in our approach to problem solving, or simply following up after your building delivers - we do what we know is right. Every day a dedicated group of people show up ready to work hard for you. Almost every employee here has tenure. We don't have a high turnover rate on new hires. People here stick together. Take a minute to make a phone call to see how you are treated. Ask questions. Ask for brochures, or company literature, ask for help on just about anything and you'll see how dedicated we are to serving your needs. This is only a fraction of what makes us different. At the end of the day, not another company out there will work harder to ensure you are getting what you need - from start to finish. I guarantee it.
January 1, 2014
Looking back and taking stock of the past year, I know that 2014 will be stellar. ICON Building Systems has a solid history of being focused on customer service and support while offering the most builder-friendly system in the industry. Our company values and customer commitments are the cornerstone of our success. Our growth is coupled by our commitment to growing solid partnerships and maintaining value and integrity in our products and services.
Our pledge to you is straightforward - we promise to be honest and pay attention to your needs. Your goals are our goals. Your success is our success. I guarantee that your experience with us will be first class. We know that 90% of our customers are "do it yourselfers" and we are here to help. You won't have a problem we haven't solved before. We work on weekends, our days off, and routinely give out our personal phone numbers - we are here for you.
There are a lot of "sellers" on the market today. Don't get caught up in a mess with some fly-by-night who will take your deposit and run. Get references from customers and vendors, find out how long they have been around, and get their history. If you do your homework, you will find that we are who we say we are. We have a dedicated team of people here day and night to help make your project a success. Your project is in our hands from start to finish. Give us the last look at your project - you'll be glad you did.
Happy New Year!
December 17, 2013
Imagine how much is involved in creating something never done before. The passion one has towards the creation of something totally unique cannot be explained. There are many people here who have worked countless and painstaking hours to ensure that you have the very best technology at your fingertips. No, we are not riding the coat tails of someone who's already done it - we are the pioneers, the innovators, the relentless few who strive for something better.
Innovation is in our DNA. We don't have a choice. No one here does it for the money. We measure our success by something different - yours. If what we do makes your life easier, and your project is successful, then we share in that success.
Our success hasn't gone unnoticed. I knew even in the 90's that given enough time there would be copycats. Hey, that's good for business. I think it is great. What I really hope is that our company is modeled for the principles it stands on. I pray that as others follow, we show great leadership, giving them something more to strive for. But I will say the best experience overall will start - and end - with us.
From the moment you step into our world, you will see and feel the difference. From the experience you have on our website, or through the use of our building design software packages, you will know that none of this happened overnight. We worked hard to get here and we have a deep commitment to providing the best services in the industry. You don't have to look around much to know that we are the only logical choice as your project partner.
We are proud of our customer service and the network of people supporting it. Our reaction times are always same day. If there is a problem, it is our number one priority. After selling many thousands of buildings through our e-commerce efforts, I can proudly say that after more than a decade, we are still the number one online solution for metal buildings in the world.
December 12, 2013
From our family to yours - we want to wish you a very happy holiday season. This is the time of year I like to look back and reflect on the year's successes, failures, and opportunities to grow as individuals and as a business. With every project we sell, we hope to build a solid relationship with each and every customer. Too often companies lose sight of what is important. Our customers are the foundation of our business. Of course, the product is important, but it is secondary as we already know we sell a superior product. Creating a good experience and customer loyalty is crucial to our success.
As we near the end of 2013, I want to say thanks for the support, and I sincerely hope you all have a Safe and Happy Holiday Season and a prosperous New Year.

Brinda has learned Classical Manipuri dance in Kolkata, India from Guru Kalavati Devi for three summers. Since 2007 & 2008, when Brinda participated in summer-long Spanish Flamenco workshops in Granada, Spain, she has been studying Flamenco in New York City with Dionisia Garcia. www.flamenco-nyc.org.
In 2009, Brinda founded an Indian Classical dance company, Kalamandir Dance Company (501c3). Brinda, along with artistic director Malabika Guha, wanted to bring together advanced dancers with a foundation in Indian Classical dance and use their experience with Western dance training to expand on original storylines and ideas. The hope was that a dance company with a rich repertoire of movement and expression would be able to demonstrate the true universality of human emotions and experiences. The result was a collaborative company of dancers with training in Kathak, Ballet, Odissi, Modern, Bharatanatyam, Flamenco and Capoeira who started meeting weekly to explore all the exciting possibilities that their diverse abilities, ideologies, and experiences had to offer.www.kalamandirdanceco.com

Save on back-to-school shopping at Staples, Walmart, Target, Dollar Stores
Back to school shopping is changing.
With schools going more high tech, the days of looking for the cheapest loose leaf binders and pencils are fading.
School supplies now cost more. But the good news is there are still plenty of ways to save.
$600 for basic supplies
The average family now spends over $600 a year on back to school, not including a laptop or tablet.
So we went school shopping with blogger Andrea Deckard of SavingsLifestyle.com, who has three school-age kids.
Andrea's first tip: No single store is best for everything.
For instance, she loves Staples for it's weekly one cent sales.
"Every week they always have a few items they advertise that are penny deals," she said. "There's pens, index cards, also erasers."
But she says on other items, Staples can be more expensive, so you need to shop selectively.
Where to Buy What
Deckard hits Walmart for low priced basics, like erasers and glue.
She goes to Target for fashion items
And she says don't forget dollar stores, especially for things like paper towels and disinfectant wipes, which many teachers now want.
And she shops online for school uniforms.
"You can typically get better deals online," Deckard said. "Say your kids need uniforms, lands end has some of the best uniforms available, and they always have amazing sales."
Notebooks and Paper
Andrea says notebooks and paper folders all end up dog eared, so cheaper store brands are fine, especially at office supply stores, as they won't sell junk.
"I am totally fine with the generic items when it comes to paper products," Deckard said. "The only time I will buy a name brand product is when they have coupons available."
Andrea says one area she will not go cheap is backpacks.
Bargain backpacks may not make it to Christmas, she says.
"I'm a big proponent of quality over quantity when it comes to backpacks. We have used the same backpack going on 5 years now."
Another tip? At LL Bean, they will replace backpacks free forever if they break. You won't get that guarantee on a discount store model.
But you may not need a backpack at all this year, she says.
The newest trend, Deckard says, are small gym sacks instead of a backpack, because kids are doing carrying fewer big books, doing more and more work online.
Locker Organizers? Maybe
Locker organizers are tempting, but Deckard says don't buy them until you know how much locker space your kids get.
"We actually have notices from teachers at our school that ask us to not bring us this kind of stuff, cause there's no room."
Laptop Deals Everywhere
Finally, Deckard says this is the best time of year outside Black Friday to buy a laptop.
"Watch for the different sales at all the stores, specifically the office supply stores, even amazon, finding some really good prices."
In addition, Microsoft in August has deals where you get a free Office Suite with the purchase of a laptop. Apple is offering students free iTunes gift card with MacBook purchases.
Deckard points out it's a great time for buying electronics and office supplies, even if you don't have school age kids.
That way you don't waste your money.

(NPR's Fresh Air) Interpreting Shariah Law Across The Centuries
Sadakat Kadri is an English barrister, a Muslim by birth and a historian. His first book, The Trial, was an extensive survey of the Western criminal judicial system, detailing more than 4,000 years of courtroom antics.
In his new book, Heaven on Earth, Kadri turns his sights east, to centuries of Shariah law. The first parts of his book describe how early Islamic scholars codified — and then modified — the code that would govern how people lead their daily lives. Kadri then turns to the modern day, reflecting on the lawmakers who are trying to prohibit Shariah law in a dozen states, as well as his encounters with scholars and imams in India, Pakistan, Syria, Egypt, Turkey and Iran — the very people who strictly interpret the religious and moral code of Islam today. And some of those modern interpretations, he says, are much more rigid — and much more draconian — than the code set forth during the early years of Islamic law.
Read or listen to it all.

There was little fanfare when Kendrys Morales hit his 100th career home run Wednesday night at Safeco Field.
It didn't help that it was the only run the Mariners would score in a 6-1 loss to the Houston Astros. It really didn't help that the Mariners were in the process of being swept at home with about 9,000 people in the stands.
But the milestone means something to Morales aside from the statistical accomplishment.
After missing almost two full seasons to a gruesome lower leg fracture in 2009, the 100th homer is an accomplishment. He knew his promising career could have ended with that unfortunate home plate walk-off celebration.
"It inspired me to play hard and to do my best and keep playing that way after dealing with so many obstacles in my life," Morales said through translator and bullpen coach Jaime Navarro.
There is no real significance in reaching 100 home runs to Morales, though Mariners staffers were able to get him the ball.
"I haven't thought about it," he said. "It's just a number. Now I have to go for 200 and then 300 and keep going."
Whether he does that in a Mariners uniform is uncertain. Morales will be a free agent after this season. Seattle has initiated preliminary talks with his agent, Scott Boras, about a possible extension. However, Boras has said to a few national news outlets that he believes Morales can get better money on the open market. The Mariners can still give Morales a qualifying offer of one year at approximately $14 million for next season. Morales can accept that or opt for free agency. If he opts out, whatever team signs him will have to forfeit their 2014 first-round draft pick to the Mariners.
Morales isn't too concerned about the contract stuff with a month left in the season. He just wants to play.
"I've had good numbers from the beginning this year and I just want to keep doing what I've been doing," he said. "After the season, I'll think about what comes next. But for now, I'm just working to finish strong and do the things I need to do."
The numbers are solid. He's hitting .280 with 31 doubles, 21 homers and 76 RBI while batting in the middle of the Seattle order.
"From the beginning, I've felt comfortable," he said. "It was a good opportunity coming to Seattle, and as soon as I got here I knew they'd give me that chance. I just keep playing hard, just doing my thing. I feel comfortable and like what they're doing here. I'm just going to keep doing whatever it takes to help this ballclub."
Felix Hernandez is moving closer to pitching again for the Mariners. The Seattle ace has been sidelined since Sept. 2 with a mild oblique strain. On Friday, he had a flat-ground throwing session before the game against St. Louis.
According to the Mariners, Hernandez felt good. Because everything went well, he's scheduled to throw a bullpen session Monday in Detroit. If that goes well, he would likely start Wednesday or Thursday against the Tigers.
Hisashi Iwakuma's first at-bat in major league baseball came in the second inning Friday night. He struck out on four pitches with a few efforts that would never be confused with Ken Griffey Jr.'s near-flawless swing.
In his second season, Iwakuma had never started a road interleague game so he was never forced to bat.
Even manager Eric Wedge was a little curious about how Iwakuma would do at the plate.
"It's always interesting when American League pitchers have to bat, but it should be more with Kuma," a chuckling Wedge said.
Hitting isn't totally foreign to Iwakuma. Much like major league baseball, the Nippon Professional League in Japan has two divisions – The Pacific Division, which uses the DH, and the Central Division, where the pitchers hit. Iwakuma played for the Rakuten Eagles in the Pacific Division. But during interleague play, he got 24 plate appearances. He had one hit and struck out 15 times.
It will be a battle of hard-throwing rookies at 4:15 p.m. Left-hander James Paxton (1-0, 1.50 ERA) will make his second big league start for the Mariners. The Cardinals will go with right-hander Michael Wacha (3-0, 2.72) making his seventh major league start. The game will be broadcast on Root Sports and 710-AM.

With fifteen laps remaining in the Mothers Day Special 60, Mike Egan and Josh Wallace ran side by side. The two remained glued together until, with four laps remaining in the race, Egan slipped in turn four. Wallace capitalized on the slip and pulled away to capture his first Super Late Model feature victory at Slinger Super Speedway.

What is the best approach to overwrite template tags?
I would like to overwrite the bp_login_bar template tag. But I am a noob to wordpress plugins/tags. I could just rewrite it there but for easier upgrades is there a place to overwrite that like is themes/mytheme/functions.php a good place for it? And do I use add_filter or add_action or something else?
