- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/27/2014Starters ok but mains not good quality nor good temperature. Standard "hotel food". Bar is very good.
- Suzanne007VIPDined on 8/18/2014I've been here before and it was miserable. I was in the hotel for work, and I was pleased to see it so improved. I would not hesitate to schedule lunch there again.Special Features:
- Nice place before a showJDawgDined on 8/14/2014We went to a show at Feinstein's and this was a great place to eat beforehand, especially since they give validated parking for 5 hours if you eat here. The food was served very quickly and we had plenty of time to relax and enjoy our dining experience. And they make very tasty cocktails and with my crowd that's a huge bonus! I wish I asked our waiter's name as he was outstanding. I had fish and chips and they were good - not sure you can make fish and chips amazing.... Two friends had the onion soup and they both liked it very much. My other friend had the pretzel and sausage app and she loved it. Unfortunately the show was horrible, but at least we weren't hungry!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disappointingOrchestraLoverDined on 8/13/2014A group of us thought that this place would be a good choice for a quick lunch after our meeting in the Hilton Union Square Hotel before heading to the airport. We were so wrong. Service took forever. It was at least 45 minutes from the time that we ordered to the arrival of our food. They got two of the five orders wrong and so they had to go back. The food was OK. The waiter never asked about refilling drinks. It was a big deal to our waiter to get separate checks. This was the worst dining experience that I had while in San Francisco.
- Busy placeFood4thoughtDined on 8/9/2014We tried here as we were staying in the hotel. We were surprised by the quality of the food and service. It was a busy Fri night and lots of convention attendees were here too. Place didn't miss a beat. Crab mac n cheese was to die for!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food and DrinksOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/6/2014Great food and drinks. Served by Alice - very friendly and nice!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RedwineVIPDined on 8/1/2014The food has gone down hill. My salad was over dressed to the point I thought it was soup. My husband had a panini sandwich and the bread burnt. Stop in for a drink but do not eat. It is also extremely loud.Special Features:
- Great location and service!Foodie1VIPDined on 7/31/2014The food was excellent and we loved the pre-fixed menu (which included wine) and selection. Overall Excellent! We also appreciated the prompt service that allowed us to make our evening show on time. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience! We will definitely return to your restaurant when we're back in San FranciscoSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just okOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/25/2014Urban Tavern was just ok. It's looks are a bit deceiving, as the decor is beautiful and modern. The food doesn't match--it's ordinary and not well-seasoned. Fish and chips need salt. Sauces and starches need salt. The wines we sampled were not very good, although that's what we get for trying new ones, I suppose. All in all, the food was too expensive for the quality. We are not at all averse to spending $20-30 on an entree--we do it frequently--but the quality and flavor need to be higher to justify the price.
- Girls night outFoodie4LifeVIPDined on 7/21/2014We had a large group in the back of the restaurant. We didn't feel like we were disrupting anyone (which was nice since we haven't seen each other in awhile. Food was good, but slightly overpriced. Can't beat free corkage on Monday night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Fun!ShamarDined on 7/18/2014This was my third visit to Urban Tavern. Again, the food and service were excellent. The Mission Margaritas are fabulous. It is a very energetic atmosphere with quieter seating available. Very attentive service without being intrusive. Delicious food. I will definitely be visiting again and highly recommend it to friends.Special Features:
- Somewhat disappointingPMPFDined on 7/13/2014The dessert of 4 pastries was great. The lamb shop entre was disappointing, I ordered it a year or more ago and it was great. This time the chops were thin and over cooked, and the soft polenta was greatly over spiced.
- Lunch near CurranMindyDined on 7/12/2014I happened to find the Urban Tavern while looking for a place to have lunch prior to a matinee at the Curran. The Urban Tavern is very attractive and very convenient to the theatre district. Menu selections were imaginative. Food was good. Service was great.Special Features:
- Pre-Theater DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 7/3/2014Smoky tomato bisque - a bold tasting tomato soup with a little spice. Fish Tacos -the two tacos were tasty and the fish was dressed with avocado. For the price, wished it was more substantial. Terres major - the steak was cooked perfectly medium-rare. Ho-ho and Coconut custard snowball - the ho-ho was a chocolate mousse with a chocolate shell. The coconut snowball was a cake with a custard filling. Food came out quickly so we had no worries making our show-time. Manager, Bahdi or B, came by and asked us about our dining experience. A nice dining experience from the food to great personable service from Elton. Ask to be seated in Elton's section. You also get 5 hours of validated parking in the Hilton hotel garage for dining here.Special Features:
- Great before TheatreWanderlustVIPDined on 7/2/2014We usually have dinner at Urban Tavern before a play. The food has also been consistent and good and our server (Tong) was fantastic!
- B-day LunchmrnoitawlDined on 7/2/2014I have eaten here several times & keep returning because of the consistency of the food quality (the French Onion soup is superb & entree portion are very generous). Plus their cucumber martini are perfect. Service is attentive, but not intrusive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Had a small mealMaryfromCODined on 6/30/2014Onion soup was very good. Not the best I have had but very good. Eggplant Sliders were interesting. Would have preferred more eggplant and sauce compared to the size of the roll. But they were tasty and different. I say in a booth in the back 1/2 of the resturant. The seat cushion was very soft and not overly comfortable. If I wasn't 5'10" I may not have been able to reach the tabletop.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific spothmmmVIPDined on 6/26/2014I love Urban Tavern. The atmosphere is hip and the service so good that we find ourselves wanting to back over and over. We feel lucky when Elton waits on us because he is charming and sharp and anticipates whatever we need. They even offered to validate our parking! Class act! Thank you.Special Features:
- Great service good foodtebiiiDined on 6/26/2014Food was good. One of us had something off the menu fetched up by Tong, our waiter - not just a server, but a genuine waiter who knows how to take care if his tables, makes creative suggestions , etc.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good food, too noisy...!OpenTable Diner Since 1999VIPDined on 6/25/2014good food, but way too noisy. service was spotty. there are many restaurants in the area that offer food as good or better with more consistent service and without the decibel level...
- Convenient Restaurant in HiltonAndiODined on 6/25/2014This restaurant is convenient when staying at the Hilton Hotel. We arrived for our reservation and they were still in the process of turning over for lunch, so we waited a few minutes. No big deal. The fish & chips were some of the best, the tartar sauce was amazing, and the panini I had was good but not excellent. They used fresh sliced turkey, which was nice, but the roll was very large. Unfortunately, the meal (panini) gave me heartburn. Our third person didn't not care for her panini. However, the ambiance was good for a lunch conversation. Our server was a bit flighty, but he was still nice. I have been here in the evening on another occasion four years ago and the bar scene was great.Special Features:
- Fantastic First ExperienceRoddyVIPDined on 6/23/2014Food was excellent! I had the rib eye steak that just melted in my mouth. My companion had the herbed chicken which was a very generous and tasty portion. The ambiance was great and the service was perfect. I would recommend to others and definitely come back again!Special Features:
- Long wait to pay!sharonbVIPDined on 6/23/2014The waiter was very intrusive. I'm used to waiters recommending something early on, but to tell us we should order something else after we've already decided is really rude! The waiter grabbed my bread knife off the bread plate. He said he was giving me a new knife for my entree, but I still wanted the knife for my bread. We had ordered a second glass of wine. Again, without asking, he grabbed the first wine glass and poured it into the new glass. I could not believe that a waiter would grab things off your plate and table without asking first. Then, I must have waited 15 minutes for someone to take my credit card for the bill, finally having to chase someone down. The waiter was nowhere in sight - nothing left to grab, I guess.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/21/2014The food was only average. The shrimp on my salad had obviously been recently thawed and was on the verge of going bad. With so many options to chose from I wouldn't go back.
- Lucky FindShamarDined on 6/20/2014I discovered this restaurant/bar while attending an event across the street and wandered into this terrific find. The food was very good, although the fish and chips could have been crispier. Friends raved about the mac & cheese and the veggie lasagna. The Mission Margaritas were fabulous! This restaurant will definitely be part of my go-to places when entertaining friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent dining experienceAllie51Dined on 6/20/2014The food and service was excellent. I've eaten here many times previously because of it's convenient location close to the theater and free parking validation for 5 hours. The food is consistently good but now the menu includes many vegetarian and vegan options that are healthy choices. I would definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lousy, very over-priced foodMartinVIPDined on 6/19/2014It's hard to imagine this restaurant can survive in San Francisco -- no doubt unsuspecting Hilton hotel guests fill many of the seat or others like us - searching for a meal before theatre. The quality of ingredients and cooking are seriously sub-standard. Simple entrees like fish and chips and Mac and Cheese are $20+. I cannot recall a worse dining experience EVER in our fair city.
- Convenient and SimpleHopk7791Dined on 6/18/2014Grabbed a wick bite to eat before seeing a show. Simple, quality and left the establishment feeling great about our experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- excellentTylerHofingaVIPDined on 6/6/2014This is a wonderful restaurant inside the san francisco hilton downtown.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 6/2/2014The seats were too low and soft to allow a good level to eat. Further when a customer is asked if he wants dessert, and replies no, and then the server tells me they have to give me the menu because their manager needs to see it? Wow...that's a lot of trust management has in their employees ....Special Features:
- BrunchPleaseVIPDined on 5/28/2014Great, friendly service and fantastic cocktails! A place I would go back for some drinks after dinner.
- Absolutely amazingLovedeverysecondDined on 5/23/2014This place was spectacular. We were there during our honeymoon and we loved every second of it. Our server Elron was great, very personable. The pork shoulder and accompanying sauce my husband had was out of this world, so much so that he asked for the recipe and the manager gave it to us the next day!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent others are worth your timeTimLfromTxDined on 5/18/2014It may have been the night I went here (very busy week in SF) but the place was overly crowded and very loud so it was hard to have conversations. Overall the food was good but a little pricey to be honest. I was disappointed in the waiter we had since he really was not helpful. Also, I was surprised when we asked about wine pairing that we were told that the wine list was setup about 5 menus ago. Overall the place was nice but there are so many good or better restaurants around that I would only recommend this place if you have tried others and are looking for something new...
- Mothers day lunch earlyMexiDined on 5/3/2014The fish and chips are really good. Price is high the services is great. The rest of the food was ok.

- Just okaybusybDined on 5/1/2014Convenient for lunch or dinner. Service is slow. Concrete floors make it very loud for groups.
- A great dinnerJanetVIPDined on 4/28/2014We had an exceptional dinner before going to the theater the other night. Food was simply delicious and we chose a good array of different dishes - the services was great and the atmosphere was abuzz but we could easily hear each other talk. Can't recommend highly enough!Special Features:
- Good service and foodEdwardVIPDined on 4/28/2014Second time at Urban Tavern in 3 days. Still good service and good food. I had the grilled cheese sandwich with a fried egg. Very good. The service remains outstanding. Very good for a hotel bar and restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Hotel RestaurantEdwardVIPDined on 4/27/2014Great service and ok food for this hotel bar / restaurant. The server made great recommendations, including suggesting tailoring some items based on my taste preference, that really worked. I had the Panini and the red velvet roll. Both were really good. Great place to stop in and grab a bite. The menu is limited but a good sampling of soup, salads and sandwiches. A little pricey, but the service is great and they are efficient if you are in a hurry.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great standard continuesrobertinauburnDined on 4/26/2014This is my third time here and the food and service continued to impress and delight.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Excellent, very powerful editor with a minimalistic interface.
I like Notepad2, it's a great application; but this repository is dead. It was last updated in July-2006, and the latest version available here is 184.108.40.206. For comparison, the actual Notepad2 has, at the time of this writing, version 5.0.26.b4, and was last updated in Oct-2012. If you do not want the horribly outdated version of the software, visit the author's website www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html
Very easy to use notepad2
Love notepad2
There seem to be a few variants of the original Notepad2 by Florian Balmer (at 3w flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html - check that page first!!!). How this one is related to it, is not immediately clear from the project page here; as no mention of the above there. Is it (like) the original, or is it just a(nother) variant? How is this one different? Why should I bother? It seems I'd have to download and check it, but I already have two variants at hand. And since I forgot to record where I got them from, the only thing I know they differ quite a lot -- even though both have the *EXACT SAME* readme file (Notepad2.txt)! Sigh, *chaos*... I don't feel like downloading a third one now just to figure out how this one would differ from the two others -- unless there is a clear indication of why this fork exists. So, could it be possible to mention that in the project home page? Thanks!

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

DLC(1) Short for Data Link Control, the second lowest layer in the OSI Reference Model. Every network interface card (NIC) has a DLC address or DLC identifier (DLCI) that uniquely identifies the node on the network. Some network protocols, such as Ethernet and Token-Ring use the DLC addresses exclusively. Other protocols, such as TCP/IP, use a logical address at the Network Layer to identify nodes. Ultimately, however, all network addresses must be translated to DLC addresses. In TCP/IP networks, this translation is performed with the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).
For networks that conform to the IEEE 802 standards (e.g., Ethernet ), the DLC address is usually called the Media Access Control (MAC) address.
See a breakdown of the seven OSI layers in the Quick Reference section of Webopedia.

4.35/5 rDev +3.8%
A draft only porter released last week.
Pours a very dark black with ruby highlights around the edges of the glass. Monster light tan head retains incredibly well and turns to the consistency of whipped cream, leaving very nice lacing all the way down the glass.
Nose is full or roasted dark grains and american hops. A slight coffee like aroma, but not strong.
Taste follows. Strong undertones of bitter roasted malts with an almost coffee like presence. Nice and roasty, but easily balanced by a pretty strong hop presence. I like the extra hop presence quite a bit. Not quite a black IPA, clearly a roasty porter, nice balance. The finish is nice and bitter, but roasted grains remain the solid backbone and linger on into the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is quite good here. I really like the viscosity, and the carbonation is pretty much ideal. Biting dryness on the finish, but it works with the high dosage of hops.
Drinkability is pretty solid. Classic porter old farts might complain about the hoppiness, but this is 2009 gramps, keep up.
Overall, i really like this one. A nice roasty porter that shakes things up a bit with some extra hop presence. Easy drinking and packed with flavor. Glad i've got a growler to enjoy.

Tasted on tap at the brewery.
A new draft-only American porter from Midnight Sun. In the glass it has a nice appearance, almost completely opaque with a nice tan head. The aroma is roast malt and hops, very enticing. On the palate there's no missing that this is an American porter, with plenty of hop bitterness from PNW hops to compliment the roasty porter notes. Good mouthfeel and a nice finish. Very drinkable and moreish.
I grabbed a growler to pair with a roast leg of lamb. More good stuff from the folks at Midnight Sun.

4/5 rDev -4.5%
On draught at the MSBC loft, Second Chance Porter is a dark brown with a small tan head that leaves sheets of foamy lace.
Smell is like super dark chocolate with NW hops.
Taste is full and robust, a nice dark char without being overly acrid, like coffee grinds with a hint of baker's chocolate and lingering bitter finish.
Mouthfeel is not as creamy as their beers often are, kind of a big bubbled, although the body is on the lighter side in a good way, particularly for the size.
Drinkability is pretty good, a sturdy porter with loads of flavor, and a little new school twist with the big NW hops. Well done Jeremiah!

Cute fixture however there are gold accents that do not show up in the picture (all the crystals have gold clips). Some petals also arrived bent.
I bought this as a small-scale light for the bath tub area in the masterbath. It is nice in a shabby chic kind of way. I don't think it would work in an "elegant" setting very well. But our newly remodeled bathroom has a mid-century modern meets beach kind of vibe and this light is perfect for that. The only negative I would say is that it is bright white, not creamy white as shown. I may end up spray-painting it a warmer shade of white eventually to be more in keeping with our painted wood trim. But at this price I don't feel bad about having to do that.
I bought this for my daughter's nursery, and I absolutely adore it. Our ceilings aren't super high, and that was one of a few chandeliers that wouldn't hang too low and was petite enough. Installation was really easy (for my dad, who is pretty handy) and I hung all the crystals. The picture doesn't really do it justice....it looks just as nice as the pottery barn ones that I have seen, and the price is WAY better.
great chandelier; perfect for the bath! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to purchase.
This is a really cute chandelier. I don't have particularly high ceilings so I wanted one that would still look cute on a short chain. I hung it with just one link showing and it's awesome. I ordered it for my daughter's room. It came with a lot of extra crystals. It is so cute that I ordered another one for my other daughter's room. With four lights, it gives off almost as much light as the three bulb fixture it replaced -- very bright. It's a true white, not ivory. The crysals are easy to hang and they're glass, not plastic. It's the perfect size for a kids bedroom. Not too grand, but not too miniature either.
Great look for a reasonable price. Looks lovely in the room!
Light was very glossy and needs to be shaped to appear as it does in the ad photo. Looks very cheap when taking out of the packaging. Returned it immediately and was disappointed that I had to pay for return shipping although I will say it was very hassle free and prompt.
A small chandelier for our bathroom and it is perfect. Didn't want to spend a lot of money, and for the price, it adds so much to the look I wanted for the room. Many compliments!
Very charming chandelier for shabby chic or bohemian decor. Looks exactly as shown on line and is a charming addition to my decor. I get so many compliments I can't believe it. It arrived in 3 days.
The color was a little off - not exactly white - sorta grayish white. But really pretty with the medaliion. Glad we bought it.

Say these names as fast as you can: Hoof Hearted, Whykickamoocow, Oh no it's my mother-in-law, Maythehorsebewithyou.
It's not a playground tongue twister, but a legitimate list of horse names, announced at speed by racing commentators adept at wrapping their lips around some of the most difficult -- and ridiculous -- titles on the planet.
"If you look at the big races, there are not many horses who win them without good names," British racing commentator Cornelius Lysaght said.
"Frankel (the superstar colt who recently retired after an unblemished 14-win career) was a cracking name. It was very distinctive, strong and easy to pronounce -- it absolutely jumped out of the microphone.
"Added to that was the fairytale story of trainer Sir Henry Cecil naming him after trainer Bobby Frankel, who died from cancer. It created a certain mystique around the horse."
So why are many horse names downright weird? It's partly a way of getting around rules dictating that no professional thoroughbreds have the same name. That includes names which are spelled differently, but phonetically sound the same.
Names can be no longer than 18 characters, with up to seven syllables.
Each name is also protected for 20 years, and up to 35 years if the horse goes to stud after retiring.
Then there's the holy grail of names considered so important, they can never be used again.
When people say, "There'll never be another Frankel," they aren't wrong. The International Federation of Horseracing Authorities has put the champion horse on its eternally protected list, alongside such greats as Australian gelding Phar Lap and U.S. stallion Seabiscuit.
One loophole does allow horses from different countries to have the same name -- provided they include the nation's prefix at the end.
And if you want to name your horse after a person or company, you've got to have their permission. British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher famously turned down a request by the late Clement Freud -- a former celebrity chef, politician and grandson of the famed psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud -- to name his horse after her. He called it Weareagrandmother instead.
There's also the minefield of names deemed too offensive for the track. Among the risque suggestions which failed to get the seal of approval from the British Horse Racing Authority's administrative arm, Weatherbys, are: Chit Hot, Harry Balzitch, Pee Ness and Hucking Fell.
The names of terrorist organizations such as Al Qaeda and IRA have also been turned away, though Weatherbys racing director Paull Khan admitted suspect names had "slipped through the net" in the past.
"You've also got to take cultural differences into account. In Britain, people would generally be quite flattered to have a horse named after them, but in France it would more likely be seen as an insult," he said.
BBC commentator Lysaght has had to call some tongue-twisting horse names in a career spanning more than 30 years.
"A few complicated names in a tight finish can get a bit frightening," he said
"If a few of the more difficult names go down in a race, I think deep down the commentator is thinking, 'Thank God that one's not involved anymore.' "

Call for gambling lessons in East Lancs schools
Updated 1:38pm Tuesday 21st January 2014 in News
SCHOOLS should give pupils lessons in gambling to counter a rise in exposure to addictive online poker games, a leading academic has warned.
Children should be taught about the dangers of losing and building up significant debts because of a feared increase in childhood gambling problems, it was claimed.
Professor Mark Griffiths, director of the International Gaming Research Unit said large numbers of under-16s were becoming hooked on games often accessed through social media websites.
Recent research from Ofcom, the broadcast regulator, found that children aged four to 15 potentially watched TV gambling adverts 473 times in just 12 months. It follows a decision by the last Labour government to allow adverts to be broadcast before the 9pm watershed.

Indiana (Indy) Jones is America's favorite fictional professor of history and archaeology, soldier, adventurer, all blended into one hero with a bullwhip, a leather jacket, and a fedora. Originally, Tom Selleck was cast in the movie role, but his Magnum P.I. contract prevented him from accepting it. Three weeks before filming began, Harrison Ford was chosen, and the rest is history.
Although Indiana Jones has now been around for more than twenty years, his romantic adventures, rugged masculinity, and crooked smile continue to draw fans of all ages from around the world.

Pilkington tells KNEB News she's ready to represent Nebraska on the national stage two weeks from this Sunday.

Pilkington will leave for Atlantic City from Omaha next Tuesday, participating in a week of rehearsals and events with other Miss America contestants. Beginning September 9th, Pilkington will begin the preliminary activities, including a 10 minute interview with judges, talent, swimsuit and evening gown competition.
The pageant will take place on Sunday, September 15th. One of the top 15 contestants the night of the pageant will be the one that gets the most votes regarding their video presentation on the Miss America website.

Not blessed with long legs? You're not alone. Think of glamourous stylish stars like Nicole Ritchie, Reese Witherspoon and Natalie Portman to name a few. These are all beautiful celebrities all under 5'4″. Yet, you may not realize it as they are always cleverly styled in perfect outfits that help bring out their best assets. If you also happen to be a petite beauty, then this article is for you. Below, we'll give you tips on dressing to make your legs look longer.
Wear one continuous color from top to bottom. Also, match the color of your shoes, tights and stockings with your pants or skirts. A sweeping continuous color will give the illusion of longer legs.
Utilize more dark or muted colors on your lower body to create a leaner look.
Avoid wearing different layers of colors on your lower body because the color block effect will break up a long continuous silhouette.
Short Tops
Opt for short to medium length tops to give the look of a shorter torso and longer legs.
Avoid wearing long tops that end at your hips because longer tops will "lengthen" your torso and thereby shorten the look of your legs.
High Waisted Bottoms
Wear high waisted designs as these styles will create an illusion of your waistline starting at a higher position and thereby maximizing your height.
Do tuck in your shirts or tops to prevent them from hanging too long and lengthening the look of your torso.
Avoid dropped waistbands or low waisted bottoms to avoid adding a horizontal line at the widest part of your body.
Keep your hemlines shorter for shorts and skirts to show a decent amount of legs.
Long pant hemlines that cover a tall platform heel will create the look of long lean legs in minutes!
Avoid hemlines that end mid-thigh or mid-calve.
Heels elongate your legs and accentuate your curves instantly. Yet, if you are not comfortable wearing heels, you may always start with 3 inches or wedges. Heels with "hidden platforms" are also a good choice since they are easier to walk in. A 5 inch heel becomes manageable when the front has a 2 inch "hidden platform". Your feet doesn't need to arch as instensely. Also opt for pointy toes to bring the vertical line down to the very far end of your toes.
Avoid strappy heels or ankle boots that will cut off your legs at the ankles.
You do not need to be born with model like legs for it to look miles long. Knowing how to dress yourself is all it takes to look slim and chic.

CATEGORIES Comedy, Documentary, Drama, Foreign Language, Independent, Music & Musicals, IFC, Box Office, Fox Searchlight, Cinematical Indie, UK Box Office, Cinematical, UK Box OfficeCollege professors rule! Well, at least the one that Richard Jenkins plays so well in Tom McCarthy's The Visitor (Overture Films). The comedy-drama expanded to 18 theaters in its second week of release and averaged $9,055 per-screen to remain in the #1 position, according to estimates compiled by Box Office Mojo. Check the film's web site to see where it will be opening in the next couple of weeks (click on "in select theaters now").
Debuting indie films did not fare so well, judging strictly by per-screen averages, but it's notable that Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (Rocky Mountain Pictures), opened on more than 1,000 screens and made $2,997 per location for a total of more than $3 million for the weekend. The doc follows Ben Stein as he chases down Ferris Bueller ... oops, wrong movie! This one's about "intelligent design" in the classroom.
Opening on just one screen, Anamorph (IFC Films) grossed $3,000. Willem Dafoe stars as an NYPD detective investigating a serial killer. Critics were not kind: Anamorph scored just 28% positive at Rotten Tomatoes. David Hudson at GreenCine Daily rounds up pertinent quotes.
Two other holdovers did better as they expanded their runs. Young At Heart (Fox Searchlight), the "elderly folk chorus that sings modern rock songs" documentary, increased its theater count to 33 and averaged $4,393 per screen. Hou Hsiao-Hsien's gentle drama The Flight of the Red Balloon (IFC Films) proved its appeal beyond New York City, making $3,572 per-screen at 11 locations.

Step into the DNA closet for a moment and let's discuss your shoe wardrobe. Today, we will act as your shoe therapist, providing you with the necessary tools to flourish as a shoe connoisseur.
Over the years, you have collected shoes here in there from different seasons, styles, and trends, but have you ever asked yourself why you have the shoes you do and how you could spend your shoe budget more wisely? The first step in shoe therapy is admitting you have a problem, a problem that can easily be solved by DNA Footwear.
{1} Line up your shoes by style and color, giving you a full view of your already overindulgent collection.
{2} Narrow down — If you have more than three of the same color in one style, nix the least worn. Be realistic — Nobody needs more than three neon yellow loafers.
{3} Dispose or donate never worn or damaged shoes.
{4} Time to rebuild with shoe basics — If you don't already have them, you will need at least one pair of:
Flats: Ballet Flat, Clog, Loafer, Oxford, Mary-Jane, Moccasin, Dockside, Mule, Espadrille, Slipper, Flatform
Sandals: Flip Flop, Gladiator, Dressy, High Heel
Heels: Pump (open & close toe), Platform, Wedge, Slingback
Sneakers: Running, Hiking, Every Day
Boots: Bootie, Heeled, Mid-calf, Knee-high, Thigh-high, Cowboy, Rain Boot, Snow Boot
This may seem like a daunting task not only to organize your shoe closet but also to rebuild your footwear wardrobe with the basics. This is not an overnight process and instead takes time and money to complete. God forbid you don't have the appropriate shoe for every occasion! That's why here at DNA we have your best interest and footwear needs in mind.
Today's shoe therapy session is over. Please pay our secretary on the way out — we take all major credit cards, checks, and of course cash. See you again next week!

The Last Couple Standing
Falling Apart
I might have been okay if I hadn't seen the baby crib. It was in the garage, disassembled atop the pile of "what nobody bought in the tag sale." I spied it as I stood in the driveway of Tom and Penny's home for the last time. Their house was sold, they were half packed and about to navigate the scary ice floes of separation -- with two wide-eyed daughters bobbing between them. For work reasons they were moving to a very distant city, where they planned to live apart but near each other and form yet another of today's "alternative" family constellations. I hugged Tom goodbye, then clung fiercely to Penny, the saddest of us all.
The loss was breathtaking. We had toasted one another's weddings. Our children dunked themselves, shrieking, in the chilly pond as the men tossed towels and encouragements and Penny and I gossiped through a heady blue cloud of barbecue smoke. In those Days of Heaven they were the couple closest to my husband, Mark, and me in temperament and circumstance. So when they came apart after 20 years, we watched their free fall with horror and pain.
However did we get here -- the last fading afternoon in this pretty place? Mark was away on business, so I had driven out alone to say goodbye. We soldiered through a sad, strained lunch. And just as I thought I had a grip on myself, there was that crib -- our crib. Another couple had given it to Mark and me after their children had grown out of it; we tucked our two into it, then passed it to Tom and Penny, who kissed two more fuzzy heads bobbing above the rails. Once the repository of dreams, the crib was as forlorn an object as a lost teddy bear on the roadside. I had a strong, if irrational urge to tie it on top of my car and save it from the garbage truck's splintering jaws. Of the three couples who used it, we are the only one left standing. Tom, the one who wanted out of the marriage, turned back toward the house first. Penny was a pale, thin pillar of devastation, unable even to wave as I pulled out of the driveway. From the dashboard CD deck Yo-Yo Ma's cello played a gorgeous elegy as I drove past trees just beginning to yellow into fall. Within seconds I was crying harder than I had about anything since my father died. I had to pull over; I could not see the road.
Just who was I crying for? For Tom and Penny and the girls, surely. But as traffic whizzed by I realized I was giving way to a more selfish grief that had been building as six couples we had long counted among our nearest and dearest fell apart within a few years of one another. And one by one their dissolutions undid that ad hoc adult family circle that had nourished us for so long.
These were the people you first raise hell with, then raise kids, roof beams, and retirement plans. We took the scary fences together -- that first postpartum diaper, a midnight croup attack, kindergarten jitters, failing elder parents, lost jobs -- and pulled one another out of the thorny hedges from time to time. Headed toward the far turn, had Mark and I outdistanced the field? And if so, why did it feel so lousy?

CATEGORIES MoviesEver wondered what 'Titanic' would be like if it was told from the iceberg's point of view? Or how about 'Die Hard' if it was a story about Hans Gruber? Thanks to the folks at Cracked, now you can! The site has unveiled 26 Movies From the Villains Point of View, with posters submitted by users, and there are a whole bunch of gems on the list. Our favorite probably goes to the slightly NSFW 'Inception' spoof, which features Cillian Murphy -- who, if you haven't seen the movie, has his brain hacked into by Leo DiCaprio and friends aboard a plane bound for Los Angeles. Check it out ahead.
Caveat: there are a few other films that could have easily been on this list, including 'Superman,' 'The Wizard of Oz,' 'The Terminator' and 'Kill Bill.' Oh, well. Maybe next time.

Emergency NumbersPhone Book (Must be on-campus or have a valid network account)
Mary Sweet
Mary is an Ambassador who studied abroad in Spain
Briefly describe a specific cultural experience you had on your trip that made a lasting impression.
The day to day life of the typical Spaniard is what made a lasting impression on me. From daily siestas to two hour dinners and an unspoken consensus throughout the entire population to never be on time for anything, the Spaniards know how to ease up, relax, take things slow, and enjoy life on a daily basis. For someone as me who likes life to be structured, practical, and efficient, the Spaniards taught me that sometimes it's important to take a step back, take a deep breath, and enjoy the beauty of life in the company of others.
Describe your overall study abroad experience.
Each day in itself was a new experience. You're constantly being tested to your extremes, but in a healthy environment. There were days where listening to Spanish 24/7 was so exhausting for my brain that I had to go to bed early, but other days where I would be watching TV with my family and forget that I was even listening to Spanish because I understood it so well. You go through these ups and downs so quickly that you learn to adapt to any and every situation.
Based on your experiences abroad, what are some of the benefits of spending a semester abroad? How has studying abroad contributed to your personal, academic, and professional development?
My experience was very enlightening for me in that it opened my eyes to all the things I didn't realize I was capable of doing. As more times passes after my experience, the more I am realizing how much it impacted me. Before studying in Spain I would have already described myself as a very independent person, but now that I have spent the semester abroad and have returned home, I'm surprising myself at how confident I have become as an individual. Living in Spain for four and a half months made me realize that I'm truly capable of anything that I put my mind to. The most difficult obstacle for me to overcome was the language barrier, but over time I was able to effectively communicate with my non-English speaking family for the entire semester. When you aren't a native speaker even something as simple as mailing a letter at the post office becomes an event, but somehow the confidence that I gained has translated into my perspective on life. Now I know that as long as I am determined, even in the most difficult of situations, I have the ability to succeed.
What advice can you offer for CSB/SJU students who are considering or planning to study abroad?
The first week or so is extremely chaotic, but after you become adjusted you gently fall into a new routine. While becoming familiar with a routine, even a new one, is comforting, don't forget to strike a balance between comfort and adventure. The days fly by faster than you'll imagine and leaving with no regrets is important.

Hot Buttered Rum Rolls Recipe
If you enjoy something sweet to eat for breakfast, you can't beat Rosalie Peters' mouthwatering rum rolls. "I've had the recipe for about 30 years and consider it one of my top recipes," she says. "Hope you enjoy these melt-in-your-mouth goodies!"Rosalie Peters, Caldwell, Texas
- 1-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (110° to 115°)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons beaten egg
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 to 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons 2% milk
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon rum extract
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon rum extract
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, egg, oil, salt and 1/2 cup flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes or until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
- Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- For topping, in a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, milk, flour and extract. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until smooth. Pour into a 9-in. round baking pan coated with cooking spray; set aside.
- Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll into an 8-in. square. Combine filling ingredients; spread over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style; pinch seam to seal. Cut into eight slices. Place rolls, cut side down, in prepared pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately invert onto serving platter. Serve warm. Yield: 8 rolls.

I love rum flavoring especially around the holidays. These rolls are great, but I do recommend adding a generous amount of cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg to the filling.

Why Google May Buy Ford Someday
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Sometimes I engage in a silly exercise of who might buy whom based strictly on market cap.
In playing the game early this week I noticed Google (GOOG) is now worth about $240 billion, and Ford Motor (F) is worth just under $52 billion. Google could buy Ford more than four times over.
The idea sounds ridiculous until you realize how much work Google has been doing on self-driving cars the last few years. Then it just gets far-fetched.
The fact is car companies and tech companies are growing closer. Google now has a deal with Hyundai to put its Google Maps into select vehicles, TalkingPointsMemo reports, starting this year. All car companies have been increasing the amount of electronics in their cars. It's a relatively cheap upgrade that can add significantly to the price and perceived value.Car companies are also getting more serious about autonomy, which is what they call the way-stations on the way to self-driving cars. At the Consumer Electronics Show this week Toyota's (TM) Lexus division announced an "active safety" concept car, equipped with lasers, cameras and radar that make a driver more like an airline pilot, reports Automobilemag. Drivers are technically in charge but more and more of the work is being done by the computer. KPMG has a white paper out on driverless cars. It sees regulatory, design and market changes bringing self-driving cars to the market by 2025. The KPMG paper is filled with pictures of happy young executives in back seats smiling over iPads, but I think the market reality is different. Once these vehicles become available, I can easily see drunk drivers sentenced to using them, and older drivers being pushed into them by their worried offspring. Even semi-autonomous cars -- like those Toyota is working on now -- might, once they come down in price, be scooped up by driving schools. Those deals might push new drivers toward them. Avis' (CAR) recently announced purchase of Zipcar (ZIP) is another marker on this road. Why should a Zipcar sit at a train station waiting for its driver? Why couldn't it come to you? If it's already coming to you, why couldn't you plug in your destination and just act as a back-up on the way there?

WESTLAKE, OH (September 2010) - Over the last several years, cellular PVC trim has become a popular option among contractors and residential homebuilders. In that time, there has never been a standard installation technique that addressed cellular PVC's characteristics directly. Instead, builders and remodelers have used methods designed for more traditional building products, like wood. To solve this problem, OSI® Professional Grade Adhesives and Sealants introduces the new TRIMTeQ™ system of products specifically for cellular PVC trim installation.

PULLMAN — Mike Ladd became a father in October, so sleep has often been in short supply for the Washington State basketball player.
"It's getting better," Ladd said Wednesday night.
That's interesting, because Ladd contributed mightily to another sleepless night for Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak in Washington State's 75-65 triumph at Beasley Coliseum.
Ladd led five Cougars in double figures with 22 points, tying a career high he set as a freshman with Fresno State at New Mexico State on Feb. 14, 2009.
"I let the game come to me," Ladd said. "With the offense we ran and with Utah focusing on Brock (Motum) so much, it left guys open.
"I was one of the guys. My teammates found me."
It's no secret that teams have been double-teaming Motum down low and daring Washington State's guards to beat them. Ladd and backcourt partners Royce Woolridge (14 points) and former Curtis High star DaVonté Lacy (10) buried 8 of 14 shots from 3-point range. Ladd tied a career high of five treys, going 5 of 8 from beyond the arc.
Lacy, who did not attempt a field goal last Saturday at California, had been 0-for-9 on 3s in Pacific-12 Conference play. Urged to stay aggressive by teammates and coach Ken Bone, Lacy launched WSU's first three shots Wednesday – all 3-pointers – and made two after his first shot went awry.
"I knew one was going to fall eventually," Lacy said with a grin. "I couldn't miss for the rest of my life."
"We had a little talk yesterday," Bone said. "I said, 'If you don't get a 3 tomorrow, I'm just going to tell people you're not a very good shooter, just got lucky your first year.' "
Bone was joking, of course. He was delighted that Lacy, a sophomore, joined teammates in playing aggressively and shooting well against a Utah team that was leading the Pac-12 in field-goal-shooting defense at 36.5 percent.
That's one of the best marks in the country, but WSU shot 50 percent – including 55 percent (11 for 20) on 3-pointers. The 11 treys was a season high, and the 75 points was WSU's highest total since a season-opening 88-69 win over Eastern Washington.
"I liked the way our guys started out," Bone said. "I thought they did a great job that first four or five minutes."
WSU led from the opening basket. It was 34-26 at halftime, and the Cougars led by as many as 17 points in the second half before an announced crowd of 4,240.
"We've got to come out stronger," said Utah freshman guard Brandon Taylor, who led the Utes with 13 points. "We're not coming out strong at all. It's like we've got to wait until we're down … 10, eight points until we start playing."
Motum finished with 14 points after going scoreless with four turnovers in a rough first half. He hit a momentum-blunting 3-pointer after Utah cut its deficit to six with 91/2 minutes left.
"I guess the 3 was a big shot," Motum said, "but it was our defense the whole night that won us the game."
The Cougars (10-7, 1-3 Pac-12) snapped a three-game losing streak. The win prevented them from replacing Utah (8-9, 0-5) in the conference cellar.
D.J. Shelton scored 10 points for the Cougars, who forced 17 turnovers.

A Utah native, Chad Linebaugh learned to ski at Sundance when he was seven years old. As he grew, so did his love for the resort. When the opportunity arose to work and ski for free at Sundance, Chad took it.
Chad started his Sundance career as a breakfast waiter in the Foundry Grill restaurant, where he was quickly promoted to lunch waiting, then dinner, then dinner captain in the Tree Room restaurant. In 1997, Chad became a Catering Sales Manager and, in 1999, a National Sales Manager at Sundance.
After graduating with his bachelor's degree in Business Management from Utah Valley University, Chad continued his climb to Associate Director of Sales. In 2002, Chad left Sundance for the position of Director of Sales for Wasatch Adventure Consultants, but his heart remained at Sundance so, in 2004, he returned as Sundance's Director of Sales. When the Co-General Manager position was extended to Chad in 2006 he accepted, becoming the first general manager of the resort to work his way up from a line employee.
Chad has served on the Utah Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau Board of Directors and was board member for Meeting Professionals International as Vice President of Communications.

I was watching the campy but memorable movie "A Few Good Men" the other night which, overacting aside, has its share of scenes that stick with you.
One sticks out today as I ponder the current state of the Lions. It's the scene where Kevin Bacon's character, the prosecuting lawyer, delivers his "these are the facts in this case, and they are undisputed" opening statement at the trial.
And with regard to the Lions, here they are: They are 2-8, the same as they were at this point last season. Head coach Jim Schwartz knows he needs to win. And that winning has to start very soon.
Although the faithful has yet to turn on Schwartz, the local papers are starting to bear down and chirp a little. Recently, there have been polls on their Web sites, asking where the blame be placed. It's about 50-50 right now.
When asked about that record being the same as in last year's two-win season, Schwartz danced a little.
"Are we a better team? Yeah. It's pretty obvious we're a better team," Schwartz said. "Our record's the same. ... And that's about all that we have to go on.
"Bill Parcells said: 'You are what your record says you are and nothing else matters.' That's what we'll keep on going with. Every week we'll try to win that game, and there's nothing else that matters other than doing that. So, are we a better team? Yeah. Is our record the same? Yeah, it is.
"So, you are what your record says you are. We're a 2-8 football team."
It's a tough act to keep up with because most people would agree that the team is in far better shape than it was one year ago. But why haven't there been more wins? For one, injuries have hurt. There's no question. And there was no way Schwartz could say this and come off as anything but an excuse maker, but you know he thinks it.
Schwartz also knows his season changed on a dime when the Lions couldn't finish off the win against the Jets. Or, if you want to get more specific, when Matthew Stafford went down and Schwartz called for a curious pass (with Drew Stanton at QB) late in the game and they were trying to run out the clock.
It's an example of a coach outsmarting himself. Bill Belichick can get away with this. Schwartz can't yet. And of course, who did Schwartz cut his coaching teeth under? Yeah, the guy he'll face Thursday. When asked about working for Belichick in Cleveland, Schwartz said something interesting.
"Whatever it is, whether it's travel, whether it's meals, he touches every single thing. Everything that affects the players is important to him," he said.
And you almost have to wonder if Schwartz isn't spreading himself too thin with his team right now. Only certain guys can pull that off, very few in fact.
What he must focus solely on is getting wins. Otherwise, he might face the undeniable fact that he'll have a two-year record on par with Marty Mornhinweg, who was fired after 24 months on the job, going 5-27 with the team in that stretch.
The progress Schwartz was talking about? It's there. The team was outscored by a whopping 232 points last season. This year that number is three right now. After three straight seasons of a 32nd-ranked defense, it's now 13 spots better. They're in most games until the end.
But a quick look at that schedule is daunting. Try to find more than one winnable game (at Miami? Minnesota?) to avoid the dreaded 5-27.
The good cheer can return with a Thanksgiving Day win. The Lions have dropped nine straight on the day, and the last six have come by a combined 139 points. Give the fans something to cheer about, or better yet, something to believe in. They see the team, they know it's better than last year, but the record says otherwise. Remind them they do have something to be thankful for.

Somewhat amazingly, the White Sox haven't been more than 2 games over or 3 games under .500 all season. They've been at .500 19 different times. This confirms what this season has felt like—a back-and-forth of unders and overs, with no real sustained winning or losing streaks. As a result, the Sox have hung with the big boys so far, and a solid month could put them in a decent position to chase a Wild Card. Of course, they could also keep dancing around .500 for the rest of the season, or even fall off, as so many have predicted.
Prince Fielder's grounder against the shift forced Leury Garcia to turn a double play on a feed from third. But that was the second-strangest thing about the double play.

It didn't take a recruiting expert to pick out Stacy Thomas from the talented group of defensive linemen at the Orlando NUC Five-Star Showcase over the weekend. The Miami (Fla.) Gulliver Prep High School star won almost every 1-on-1 battle he had with some quality offensive tackles. Standing out as a special athlete, Thomas took home MVP offers for the defensive line group.
Many schools were recruiting Thomas as a defensive end, but recently realized that his measureables were a bit inflated, as often happens in recruiting. In truth, instead of being the reported 6'3", Thomas is barely over 6'0" and 233 pounds. That's too small for defensive end at top BCS schools.
The question then became whether he could play linebacker. Apparently, some of the top schools in the country believe he can play the position, as Thomas holds offers from Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Notre Dame, West Virginia, LSU and Vanderbilt.
Thomas is currently favoring three schools. "It's Florida, Florida State and Auburn," Thomas said, even though Auburn has yet to offer. Early playing time at Auburn is a major draw for Thomas.
As for a school he would still like to hear from, Thomas indicated that he would like to know more about Georgia.
Thomas claims a 2.7 GPA and with offers from strong academic schools including Georgia Tech, Duke, Notre Dame and Vanderbilt, there's little question about his academics. He plans to take his SAT over the summer.

CIV Radio
Named for its founder and lead singer, CIV blends traditional hardcore with an upbeat philosophy and catchy rhythms that take their cue from Adam Ant. The singer, Anthony Civocelli, was formerly a member of New York's Gorilla Biscuits, which released one album before breaking up in 1992. Civ opened his own tattoo parlor on Long Island before forming a new band, which includes bassist Arthur, guitarist Charlie, and drummer Sammy (bandmembers choose not to reveal their last names). The band's knack for occasionally wearing gold-lam+¬ suits and powder-blue leisure suits at gigs helped them get a record deal, and their first album, Set Your Goals, was released in 1995. Thirteen Day Getaway followed in 1998. ~ Steve HueyPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Nazareth, TX resident Thomas Braddock has made the South Plains Fair his home away from home.
"It's a legacy from my dad and my family," he said. "It's just a good thing to do, I like it. Everybody down here is like family. They get together, everybody competes in the shows together and it is a good fair to come to."
It's a tradition that began with his father, and, in 1991, the fair issued Braddock a commemorative plaque for more than 40 years of service.
Now he is passing on the tradition to his kids and he needs all the help he can get.
"You have to catch a heifer, you pick out the one that you think is the best and you go on in and put halters on them, break in the lead. Then you groom them when we come here we wash them and make it look good for the people that come through the South Plains," said Braddock.
The grooming is something Thomas handles himself. He makes sure every cow is perfect before it goes in front of the cynical eye of the judge. But even with that attention to detail success has been mixed.
"It's up and down. I did well through the years and you have bad years but I've been staying steady through the past few years," he said.
Eventually Thomas will retire, but as long as the itch for competing remains, he will keep doing what he loves.
"At least two more years because my daughter, she'll be a senior next year, but I plan on being around to take care of the barn and show in the open show and just to be here with the other exhibitions and help the south plains fair to keep it going."

"Great combo. The partagas was super I need to buy a box of these quick!"
"Both cigars are very well made and were well burning cigars. I give a slight nod to the Partagas for a more bold flavor profile; however, the Media Noche was probably one of the better Montecristo cigars....Great deal and CI brings the best prices and fastest shipping on the internet."
"Great Combination"
"These are both very good medium to full body cigars."
"This is a great sampler for the price. Both brands are top notch maduros."
