The deadline for the transposition of the UCITS IV Directive into national legislation was 1 July 2011. However, most Member States (MS) have not yet fully transposed the Directive and its implementing measures. Late transposition can create difficult situations where some competent authorities may not have the legislative framework in place to allow a proper implementation of the Directive.
Without prejudice to any initiatives taken by the European Commission in case of late transposition by MS, ESMA intends to address the situation at an operational level in order to minimise, as far as pos-sible, the impact on industry and investors deriving from lack of transposition.
ESMA proposes in today's opinion practical arrangements for cross-border operations involving one MS that has not transposed the Directive.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Emotions are high after a Lubbock jury reached a verdict in the taser trial.
Tuesday, the jury unanimously agreed Lubbock Police Officer Marsh Blackmore did not use excessive force when tasing L.J. McCallan back in 2006.
The trial lasted nearly a week and on Friday it was left in the jury's hands to decide if Officer Blackmore used excessive and unreasonable force given the circumstances of the situation that day.
After the jury answered no Tuesday morning, McCallan and his family say they are furious with the decision. "That gives the police department that they can do whatever they want to do. If they want to tase us and kill us, they can do it," said McCallan relative Olivia Gaywood.
Family members of L.J. McCallan were shocked when they heard the verdict in this taser trial Tuesday morning. "So I guess the message in Lubbock, TX is that the police can tase you and do whatever they want to do to you and get away and that's just not right," said McCallan's sister Tyenie Robinson.
For days the Lubbock jury heard numerous testimonies including from Blackmore and McCallan. Jurors watched every second of the dash cam video and McCallan's family says they are in disbelief that a jury did not believe Blackmore used excessive force. "It's clear Blackmore was guilty for everything that was caused. My medical expenses won't be attended to, I have busted up teeth in my mouth from where he beat me," said McCallan.
McCallan testified on the stand, he had no idea he was being pulled over, until Blackmore caught him off guard at his car door. He said he didn't have time to react before he was tased.
Blackmore says he was attempting to pull McCallan over for a busted taillight, but that McCallan did not pull over right away. He told the jury when he ran the vehicle's license plates he discovered outstanding traffic warrants and cautiously approached the vehicle. Blackmore says he had to tase McCallan because he was noncompliant.
"He got off the hook today, but there is a tomorrow and hopefully they will do something and you can go do something to get your proper education to work for the Lubbock Police Department the right way and not the wrong way, they are allowing you to work," said McCallan.
McCallan and his family say they will continue to seek justice and they hope to take their case to the Supreme Court. "We fought and stood up to the law. We didn't win, but we will one day," said McCallan's brother Kevin McCallan.
No one from the defense wanted to comment on the trial's outcome, but the Lubbock Police Department released a statement saying they are pleased with the trial's outcome and they want to thank the jury for considering all the facts.

Metropolis parka
August 09, 2007
I love the color and the texture of the jacket. I have not have a chance to wear it, but I am sure it will keep me warm.
Great jacket for a Lacrosse mom. Covers my back!
February 18, 2008
Warm and stylish for an older lady. Feel good and warm in it. Zipper is great for insulation. Pocket on inside and outside handwarmers. really like it.
Metropolis Parka
February 18, 2008
I bought this jacket for my wife and she wears it everywhere. She says it keeps here perfectly warm and is stylish to boot.
Toasty Warm!
December 16, 2007
The ordered 'Metroplis Parka' arrived 1.5 days after ordering. The coat is warm, light and easy to wear. Being in a northern climate, northern Alberta, Canada, (land of snow and ice), I decided to attached fur to the hood. I am toasty warm now. I find the coat a bit big and the sleeves about and inch too long. I think North Face should consider making and XXS size. In the meantime I will enjoy the XS coat I have and hope it's lifespan meets that of my 12 year old, 600 down, jacket; it's been worn endlessly and still is in great shape.
Warm and Elegant!
March 30, 2007
Can't ask for a better combination - warmth and elegance. If you are someone like me who finds it difficult to stay warm, this one's definitely gonna be a keeper. And I don't like looking bulky so this parka is just great!
this parka is perfect
October 30, 2009
I am so pleased with the warmth, the tailoring and the style. Exceeded every expectation.
Awesome coat
May 17, 2009
I just love this coat! It is totally lightweight and I initially wondered how warm it would be. Turns out that despite it's weight, it is SO warm and great for even really, really cold winters in NYC!
great coat
January 29, 2007
perfect length, light weight and super warm
Warm and comfortable
October 27, 2006
This parka is simply fantastic! Great length, very light and warm as can be. The hood is comfortable with or without a hat and keeps my whole head warm even on windy days. It's not a bulky parka and doesn't get in the way or limit my movement. It's so warm I wear it with just a t-shirt underneath even on cold days! (there's room for a sweater too if required). It's great for walks, for shopping trips or simply driving to work. I wouldn't wear it for any occasion where it might have to stand up to lots of wear as the outer fabric, although very soft and light, wouldn't stand up to a lot of abrasion. The pockets are perfectly placed at the waist and are comfortably lined in a soft material, as are the cuffs and the collar. I've been looking for a longer length jacket for a while now and I'm very happy with my choice and would buy this parka again. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to keep warm this winter!
November 21, 2007
Its a great jacket. Perfect for places like New York. It is light and I love the mission plum color
Great coat
December 25, 2008
Love it! Got small black and I do really think it is true to size. I would have ordered the x-small considering all the reviews but it wasn't in stock so I went for the small. I tried an x-small at a local store and I felt it was really short on length and very tight. Great service and price from altrec!
Great coat!!
October 30, 2009
great coat, warm and lightweight. amazing!!
so warm and cosy and very fashionable
March 01, 2007
I was so pleased to get my coat. it is even better than in the video, looks very loose fitting on the model but i found it fits and looks perfect. very feminine.
Love it!
December 12, 2009
I bought the North Face Metropolis Parka for my daughter. It fit perfect to size and looks fabulous. It is so warm and comfortable....now I want one for myself! Loved the free shipping. Thank you!
Great for scandinavian winter
December 01, 2009
I ordered this coat all the way from Sweden, since the color ink blue wasn't´t available here where I live, it´s just what I wanted!
I love this coat!
January 02, 2007
The North Face Women's Metropolis Parka is great - lightweight and extremely warm, it's the perfect coat for a cold Chicago winter. I definitely recommend purchasing this coat!
Love It!
January 07, 2009
This coat is super light and thin! I almost returned it before opening the package just by judging the weight. I had to test it on a 25 degrees(F) and very windy evening on our balcony with just a T-shirt and long johns on for 15 minutes, and surprisingly kept me warm! At first, I wasn't crazy about the ink blue color, but now I'm loving it as it is not very common. I mainly purchased it for Inauguration day, but could not wait til that day so I wear it every day and put my leather and wool coats away!
great coat
February 27, 2007
My daughter loves the coat! Very light weight but very warm and the removable hood was also a winner.
Excellent winter coat
January 19, 2008
Bought this coat for my wife as a Christmas gift. Wanted to get her one that was warm, light, and knee length. This coat fit the bill and she loves it. It is a great walking coat and even at -20c with a brisk wind she has stayed warm and comfortable. Great service from Altrec!
this parka is perfect
November 23, 2009
great coat, warm and lightweight. amazing!!
Great warmth for its weight
December 23, 2007
There are warmer coats than the Metropolis but they tend to be bulkier and heavier. The Metropolis provides quite good warmth in a coat that is light, easy to wear, and actually flattering -- not puffy. A very good balance of comfort/looks with warmth. I have warmer coats but the Metropolis tends to be the one I wear most of the time. I just purchased a second one in another color. I am 5'3", 109 pounds and the Small fits perfectly over a light sweater. Runs a bit smaller than the Nuptse.
My Sister from London loved this coat-Recommended to all
January 04, 2008
My sister loved her coat! I couldn't have purchased a better coat from a better company. Thank you for making our Christmas special!!!
Best jacket I have bought
January 24, 2009
Love my jacket. Only thing it was missing was a sleeve cuff. The color new taupe green is beautiful. I live in Wpg Canada and it has been colder here this week than the north pole. -48C and I was toasty warm.
December 05, 2007
This 3/4 length coat is beautifully designed, comfortable to wear, fashionable and functional. I purchased it last year in apple green, and was absolutely thrilled to purchase it this season in black. It is warm, comfy in the mountains; add a rhinestone pin and it works in the "Big Apple". I get so many compliments on these coats. GREAT PURCHASE TWICE!
Just what I wanted!
September 09, 2008
This coat is exactly what I hoped it would be! It's a great length, color and fit. It's very light weight and has a nice rather fitted shape also!
Great coat for New England winters...
February 14, 2009
When I wear this coar I feel like I am wrapped in a down blanket. It's warm and cozy and best of all very light. I love the ink blue. What a change from wearing black!
Nice Winter Coat
November 05, 2009
This coat is stylish, great color selection, and the fabric feels great. However, I wish that the amount of down should be increased. It could be warmer.
Just what I wanted
November 01, 2009
Great coat. Warm and light weight.
Great Coat
February 05, 2007
I brought this coat for my daughter for Christmas. She loves it. It is very very warm and lightweight. She has a wool coat that now just hangs up in the closet because of the warmth of the North Face. Being a teenager they despise anything that is too big and bulky, well this coat is neither and she has put it to the true test this week as our temperatures are in the single digits. Great coat for the money. Kudos to the Altrec sales and customer service staff also. I had to exchange my first coat and I wish the rest of my life was that easy and pleasant!!!!!!
North Face Metropolis Parka
August 11, 2007
Great Quality! Bought a medium instead of small to accommodate extra clothes. Coat is so soft and light weight, I can't wait to wear it!
Great part of my winter wardrobe
June 11, 2007
Just what I was looking for for the next winter season. It is a warm yet light jacket that will prove very useful. The color is amazing, I decided to go with the moonlight ivory. Everybody loved the color, is white but not quite what people really seem to enjoy. It is a very comfortable coat, with lined pockets that will keep my hands warm when I forget to bring my gloves with me.
Amazing coat with a style!
November 19, 2007
I am always cold. This coat is perfect for looking light and stylish. I love the combination of brown and grey. Most of all, this coat is ideal for Boston's weather. It is WARM!
March 09, 2008
Drew in customer service tracked down this coat for me and it was VERY hard to find. I was so happy and would highly recommend your firm! great customer service!!!

I absolutely love this coat. More expensive than I normally would spend, but so worth it. Goes with all my clothing: super casual, casual and dressy. Lightweight and not bulky like most down filled coats! I'm 5'4" & 130 lbs and ordered a medium....fits perfect!
I love this parka!
September 12, 2007
I absolutely love it! It's keeps you really warm, and it's so light!
I give it a 5 plus
October 22, 2009
I love it. It is so lightweight and warm. I want cold weather all the time so I can wear it.
Just right for the weather
February 23, 2009
Today is the first time that I had put on my Metropolis Parka and feels just great for this windy weather I wasn't cold at all, I would recommend this coat to anyone.
I love this coat!
January 20, 2008
My husband gave me as a year end present.I love it. This coat is really light and warm. The size is truely fit--I got a size extra small. I can go anywhere with this coat without felling cold in this winter.
wonderful winter coat
February 09, 2007
close fitting so that you don't have to look enormous in order to stay warm. Long sleeves are nice, also the arms have a fuzzy inside so they don't get cold with wind. Perfect length too.
Worth every cent!
November 24, 2009
Wonderful coat! Fits beautifully, very smart looking, and toasty without any bulk. I love it!
I LOVE this coat!

I bought this coat in Ink Blue (this is the only one left when I bought it at FULL price). When I got it, I fell in love with this coat immediately and felt happy that it's worth every penny i spent. The color looks great: deep blue with shimmer, which is suit for both office and casual occasions. I am 170cm and 113 lb. Small gives me more room for sweater and layers, though I think XS may look better. TNF and Altrec never disappoint me!
very nice
October 09, 2007
It's really warm and light. Some of the feather does come out but not much. Only the first few days of wearing it. The shipping was on time and fast. The price is a little high but I guess it worth it.
North Face Metropolis Parka-awesome coat, so light.
September 05, 2007
I got a size small in vintage white. It looks so cute on, not bulky at all. I'm 5'3, 110 lbs, I was debating between a size small and the xsmall. I wonder if the xsmall would be too tight. Anyway, the jacket is amazingly light, which will make it easier for traveling on a plane. I hate carrying a heavy coat around. Great service on this website, Free shipping, fast shipment. Just awesome!
it feels so good, soft and light weight
January 04, 2007
i love the fact that it gives good coverage, allowing me to wear lighter weight clothing. for its size it crumples up into a small bundle, unfold and walla no wrinkles. i have recommended it to several people who admired it's style.
Great Coat!
January 15, 2009
I got the jacket in ink blue after altrec ran out of the brown, but I am happy with the results. The jacket is pretty tailored and hits right up the knee. Its fairly light, or maybe I just think that because I am in Boston, since it is only a 600 count for the entire body. However, it is an overall great coat and great quality and I definitely recommend it. I am between 5foot6 and 5foot7 and around 140lbs. a small fits well if you want it to be tailored. If you want more room for layers you may want to consider going to a medium. overall great jacket!
Mostly great but some flaws
December 12, 2009
This coat is warm, sufficiently long and non-bulky as anticipated. The asphalt gray is very attractive; a nice alternative to black but still neutral and will be timeless enough for this jacket to not be obsolete in a couple of years. However, I am disappointed that there is not a brushed chin guard as stated in the description. Also, the hood is barely large enough to cover my ears and forehead (I have a relatively small head). If I'm wearing a parka because it's that cold, I would like for the hood to be substantial enough to actually be useful. If you don't intend to wear the hood and you're not picky about the chin liner, it's a warm and attractive jacket.
Great Purchase
November 29, 2007
This was a great purchase. Very warm light weight and comfortable.
great buy
May 18, 2007
I purchased this coat in moonlight ivory; the color is absolutely amazing! I have been looking for a similar coat for awhile, and when I saw it on sale (only moonlight ivory, but I imagine that black would be more appropriate for most, though) and decided to take a chance buying it online. As a result I am very pleased with my purchase. The style is both modern and versatile. The coat is very comfortable, feels true to size, pockets are conveniently positioned, hood is comfortable as well. You would not feel embarrassed to show anywhere wearing this coat, it is very well made. I agree with other reviewers that it's not bulky, and not very tight at the same time, just the right proportion. Overall, it's a good everyday coat. The only minus for me was that it's lightweight, and I'm not sure if it's suitable for Chicago winter, but it was warm enough for early spring. I would highly recommend buying this coat for those who like comfort and casual style.
Great coat
January 28, 2008
Living in New England I really needed a long and warm coat but didn't want something really padded. When I first saw the coat, I couldn't believe how thin and light it was and really didn't think it would be warm enough but it is. I love the style of it and the fit. It is very fashionable and I have gotten lots of compliments on it. I wasn't sure whether to get Med or Small and got small. (I vary between sm and med in clothes). Down size if you are not sure. I tried on the medium since in another store and the sleeves are too long. I got the cargo green and just love it. You really can't got wrong with North Face products and I know it will last me for many more New England winters!!!
unbelievably lightweight and warm
February 22, 2007
I purchased this coat for the woman who cares for my ailing father. She travels 1 1/2 hrs to get to us. When this coat arrived in a small light box we could not imagine it was her coat. It has turned out to be the perfect coat for her travels on the railroad. You do not want to have a heavy coat. She could not be happier. It is also flattering , which is not always the case with this kind of coat.
I love this jacket
January 29, 2008
I saw this jacket and I had to have it for aprs ski. Not only does it look great, it's really, really warm. And, it's so light that you can roll it up in your bag and never know it's there. I wear it at home on cold nights and aprs ski. The length is perfect right above the knees. It can be worn very casually or over a suite for work. And, because of the light weight it's perfect for traveling. The North Face as come a long way!!
great length & warmth compare to triple c or arctic parka
September 15, 2007
i have all 3 jackets but the one tops the other 2 simply b/c of the length & also the thickness (arctic is 2 thick & it looks chubby) while triple c is 2 long. overall, the best jacket!
great !
November 19, 2006
It is a perfect parka for tall,slim ladys !
fashionable and functional
January 25, 2007
This parka is lightweight, yet incredibly warm. I wear it everyday.
Great coat!
October 20, 2008
This coat is great! Super light but very warm. I'll be perfect for Chicago winter. I bought vintage white and love this color. I'm 6' tall but I chose size medium which was a good call. The sleeves could be a little bit longer but other than that it fits perfect. I would highly recommend this item.
super coat
January 18, 2009
It's super warm, but it doesn't weigh a ton. Best winter jacket I've owned.
Great, lightweight coat for winter
January 11, 2008
I purchased this coat for my daughter last year and fell in love with it. I ordered one for myself this year. I initially ordered the gold but exchanged it for the black (much more versatile color). The best feature is its lightweight and shoulder room. Some coats feel tight around the shoulders, this one provides a lot of freedom of movement and room for bulky sweaters underneath.
Perfect Parka
December 12, 2009
My wife feels North Face makes the warmest jackets. This one doesn't disappoint during a long Chicago Winter.
The best--not too heavy--winter warm stylish jacket.
December 24, 2007
I really am enjoying the jacket. The website suggests that a person size down, if they are in-between sizes; however multiple reviews suggest otherwise. I am one of those people in-between a Sm/Med. and am still wondering whether or not I should have gone with the Small instead of the Medium. If only my arms were shorter and my swimmer-like shoulders weren't as broad, I would have gone with the Small. Still-->GREAT JACKET. It's a must have and keeps me warm, stylish, and happy.
February 12, 2007
Great coat and incredible fit, I'm 5'11" size 8 and the Med. is perfect. I only hope all NorthFace sleeves are this long! First long down coat I've ever had with a flattering shape!
Nice Quality, not too bulky, sooo comfortable!!!!
January 08, 2008
Great Jacket!!!!
worth the price
January 29, 2007
I wear an extra small/petite and was worried it would be too big but it fits beautifully.. maybe a little longer on me. It is so warm I don't dread going to work in the early morning, the hood was also a must for me. I have received compliments on how nicely fitted it is even though it is filled with goosedown. I would not be hesitant to recommend it to anyone looking for a functional warm winter coat.
Great parka!
April 23, 2007
The Metropolis Parka is super-light yet warm, and also very very flattering, for a winter coat! The 3/4 length is fashionable; it looks no worse than any of the designer parkas. It is very well made. I purchased a black one in size XL, and I feel I look slimmer in it than in any other coat. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase!
Great Parka
December 30, 2008
I ordered the small hoping that it would fit my hips in spite of the measurement chart and it fits perfectly! (I am 5'3" and am usu. an XS/S on top & M on bottom) The length, fit, and warmth of the coat are perfect for a windy Chicago winter. I do wish it would not "leak" down,however. I am hoping that it will stop after the first cleaning. Otherwise, I really like and recommend this coat - functional & fashionable.
Not warm
December 03, 2007
I love North Face products but I have to say, I spent $269. on this jacket the other day and have worn it twice- and been cold both times. It's more like a spring coat to me- the down is thin- and while I think it's a nice looking coat, I expect wind protection and warmth from my North Face products and this jacket in my experience does not provide either. My cheap Marshall's purchased ski jacket is MUCH warmer.
Worth every penny
January 09, 2008
I love this coat! It's super lightweight which is great since I travel from Chicago to the Pac NW and New England areas. My hands feel nice and toasty in the pockets so I never really use my gloves at all. I purchased the black in the xsmall (I'm 5'2", 102 lbs.) and it fits perfectly with still room to layer (not that I really need to since it's so warm).
Perfect winter coat
December 18, 2007
This coat is extremely lightweight, yet very warm. I wear it to walk to work in thin scrubs and I have yet to feel a chill...in New England! It is fashionable and versatile!
You'll like it!
December 07, 2008
I expected to need an XS -- as it turned out the XS was snug in the shoulders and even the hips -- I am 5'2" 110 or so pounds. Usually a size 4, sometimes 2. The Small is much roomier, I can wear layers.
Love It!!
December 12, 2009
I am 6' tall and wear a size 6 I ordered the large and was afraid it would be too bulky but did it anyway for the added sleeve length (1")It fits great!! So far keeping me nice and warm in 30-40 degree weather. North Face products always turn out to be worth the extra money!!!
Wife loves it...
May 19, 2007
Bought if for the wife and she loves it...the moonlight ivory color was a bit different from what we expected...not really ivory or cream and not really off white...but...still nice
The best dressy-sport coat around!
December 02, 2007
I've been wearing this coat in 20 degree weather and it is a wonder! I bike a lot and so I can vouch for its wind resistance. Also, the hoodie has enough room for my helmet, which is so AWESOME it makes me want to cry. Don't wear this coat in the rain, though, for too long. But do get it. You won't regret it.
Waited a year for this coat since it went so fast last year
November 26, 2008
Bought this coat for my daughter, a young mother in a cold climate. She's wanted it for a year and it was worth the wait. People stop her to comment on what a great looking coat she is wearing. She loves it. It's always her first choice from the closet. I couldn't be more pleased with how happy she is.
I love this jacket

Altrec is awesome. I had my heart set on the cargo color in this jacket and could not find it anywhere. Altrec emailed me as soon as they got their shipment. I was very pleased with their promptness and following through with their notifications.Unlike some online shopping. All in all I am very happy with my purchase. Perfect fit, Great warmth and very stylish. Worth every penny :)
Awesome coat
March 30, 2009
I love this coat. It keeps me very warm and light. Very worth the $$ paid on the coat. I got it in the cherry stain and the color is just amazing. XS fit very well. I'm 5'2" and it was perfect for petite framed people.
Awesome coat!
November 12, 2007
I purchased the black version. I am in car sales in the flat-lands of Ohio. It has been an awesome addition to my wardrobe. It can get really cold and windy and I have been staying toasty warm. I was worried that the coat was going to be too small because sometimes North Face stuff runs small (for me) but this is actually a little bit big on me. I think it will work though with additional layers for winter. All around -- Terrific Jacket!!
Great Jacket
February 06, 2009
She loved it...Living in Wisconsin it is warm and stylish
Great coat for a great price!
July 10, 2007
I normally wear a Small, but with NorthFace jackets, I tend to wear a medium. I purchased the medium, and while it feels a little big, I think that it will be fine during the winter when I'm wearing winter clothes under it. It's a great length, and I look forward to trying it out this winter!
great functional coat
November 19, 2006
The coat is so comfortable. Light weight and easy to wear. The length is wonderful as it gives full coverage for cold wintery days although it is not too long. I love to be able to pull on the hood in either wind or snow and the back of th neck is lined for warmth. This is a all around coat I am thrilled to have for the winter
fashionable and functional

This parka is lightweight, yet incredibly warm. I wear it everyday.

To put it simply, Ibby's was
amazing. The food was great, and the service was quick and friendly. I ordered the beet salad, which was fantastic, as well as the gnocchi, which was prepared excellently. In addition, the prices were incredibly reasonable. All in all, I would recommend Ibby's to anyone interested in eating somewhere with a nice and pleasant ambience, as well as anyone interested in fantastic food."

The food sounded good on the menu

Dined on 5/14/2014
We has to wait for twenty minutes
before our waitress could take our food orders. Then it's another half hour wait for a simple dessert. Then it's another 20 mins before we can finally pay. We rarely see our waitress because she was always busy as hell to serve other people etc. you SERIOUSLY NEED MORE WAITERS AND Waitresses. OTHERWISE WE WILL JUST LEAVE. IT's ridiculous SLOW and they are TOO TIRED TO FUNCTION WELL. "
Dined on 5/2/2014
The food was very good and during
a busy workday I enjoy having a quick lunch via the buffet. However, I made a lunch-time reservation and they made us wait for the table to clear, despite other two-tops being available. I believe they even asked the guests at that table to leave. So one table was kicked out, we were made to wait for our table and there were many vacant tables!"

Not one of my favorites. The last
group I took there decided to go somewhere else when they saw the menu. There was only two of us today, so we did stay. The food was good, but just kind of weird."
Dined on 4/1/2014
The waiters were very pleasant and
attentive. The food was pretty good. The chicken dish was great, especially with the sauce. Even the breast meat was juicy and well seasoned and the skin was pleasantly crisp. The sides were okay - the quinoa dish (i think that is what the grain was) with orange was okay by itself as was the cobb salad, but tasting orange and bleu cheese in succession was a strange sensation. The soup was tasty though salty. The rice dish and the broccoli were very good. I think that this meal was not quite as good as most of the lunch buffets that I have had at Ibbys but all of my experiences have followed the trend of the protein being quite a bit better than the sides."
Dined on 3/28/2014
We like to eat it Ibby's before we
go to the Edison Theater. We had dinner for 5. Dinner was good. Server seemed frazzled. She knew we had theater tickets. After we waited more than 20 minutes for dessert, we told her to cancel the order. We were going to be late. Unfortunately, she took an attitude with us as if we had done something wrong."

Dined on 3/19/2014
First time at this restaurant. We
weren't sure whether it would be very good; it's located at the student center on the main campus of Washington University, so we thought that Ibby's might be a typical college-student sort of place. But it's not. It's a beautiful little restaurant, in a relatively quiet corner of the beautiful Danforth campus center, with a very good (but small) lunch menu and buffet, and attentive service. We'll have to go back and try it for dinner sometime."

Ibby's is wonderful. I have never
been disappointed in the food or the service. Whether you're dining alone or with seven other people, Ibby's is a great place to spend an evening. And best of all, they take meal points! (Oh and if you do eat there, you absolutely must try the gnocchi.)"

I made reservations for Ibby's as
a surprise for my boyfriend who was visiting from out of town. He was pleasantly surprised by how nice of a restaurant it was for being on campus. We both enjoyed our food and the setting (which was great for couples). It was a great first experience for both of us, and I will definitely be going back."

Food was excellent, with a healthy

Ibby's at Washington University is
the only restaurant in St Louis that you might sit next to an elderly Ladue couple going to a show or a college kid in pajamas eating tuna carpaccio and writing a term paper on their MacBook. To say the food is upscale for an on campus restaurant is an understatement. They feature a seasonally changing menu, nightly burger and entree specials, and their house special gnocchi. All in all, a great place tucked into Wash U's campus."

First time I've had a salad made

We consistently eat here before we
go to the Edison. Debbie is a great server who is attentive, knows the food, & goes the extra way. The fried calamari was outstanding & the pork over risotto wonderful. BUT... food was inconsistent. The hamburger for one guest was cold! A request had been made for more pita to go with an appetizer & it was brought to the table long after the food was gone. And, sadly, the coffee took a VERY long time to arrive. Having said all this, YES, we will return. We still enjoyed being there even though it was inconsistent."
Dined on 1/24/2014
The quality of the food in this
restaurant has decreased severely over the past years. I ordered Burger- it was burnt. We ordered calamari- they have changed the sauce again, we were expecting marinara but they brought some mayo sauce, also no seasoning on the calamari. Sauce on the gnocchi was super creamy and cheesy! As for desert, because it was the end of semester before they went into holiday, they served vanilla ice cream instead of banana in banana's foster and salted caramel in apple crumble- both deserts lost their edges. We really likes the Bistro fries tho!"

The food and service at Ibby's was
fine but the table that we were setting at was terrible. We were at a very small table in the corner of the room no more than a foot away from the table next to us. There was no room for a private conversation. My seating area was very cramped and I had to share my space with the purse of the women sitting at the table next to us."

We tried Ibby's based upon a
recommendation from a family member. Service was prompt and attentive and the food was delicious. I like a good steak but try to eat organic beef, which is hard to find in restaurants. The one at Ibby's was prepared to order and the accompaniments were good. I love roasted brussels sprouts and these are no exception. My dining partner had the kale salad and the vegetarian option both of which would have satisfied even a meat-eater."

Good mix iof college students and

Dined on 11/14/2013
Although I enjoyed myself, having
gone to Ibby's in the company of friends, I honestly preferred last year's food--especially since the flatbread, always my favorite food to order, got "updated." Last year's was a warm, delicious, toasted bread base with thick aged Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, and assorted greens on top; this year's has gone cold (literally and figuratively), with a somewhat-slimy topping of eggplant, olives, and goat cheese. The s'mores "jar" is, I admit, quite delicious. However, having tasted last year's s'mores tart--a warm chocolate tart full of thick, dark chocolate mousse, topped with vanilla ice cream, marshmallow fluff, and a Pirouette cookie--the jar is definitely lacking."
Dined on 11/5/2013
As a faculty member at Wash. U, I
come to Ibby's with colleagues frequently. It is the best choice on campus for a sit-down meal, because the Whittemore House is members-only or business expense only, and because the buffet option helps you to get in and out quickly. The Knight Center is a more upscale choice, but often filled with participants doing programs in that building. It is best to make a reservation, because the students can use their meal points at Ibby's and often fill the place. It is hard to see a reason to travel and park for Ibby's if you don't already need to be on campus."
Dined on 11/5/2013
Our group of old guys eat here on
a regular basis. We never know from time to time whether the group will be 8 or 15 or somewhere in between. We make a reservation for 10 -- if we have 15 they set up extra. If we have 8 they aren't upset. The buffet is a great value and the lunch menu is broad enough to satisfy us all. The college crowd makes it exhilarating."

Restaurant was mostly empty yet we
were seated at the end of a banquet near the serving area. The Calamari tasted fishy, the trout was tasteless, though the Quinoa with which it was paired was good. The Mezze was good."

As a student at washU, which has
astoundingly good food, it is still a treat to be able to eat bistro fare that we can't get regularly. It's also really convenient, since Ibby's takes meal points, is right on campus, has great service and food, and will doggy bag everything upon request. I recommend the cornbread in particular, as well as the chicken-- worth the expenditure. Don't miss out on the s'more in a jar or you'll be sorry."

Notwithstanding the fact that this
is a restaurant run by a university dining services program, this restaurant is amazing! Their food was great, service was helpful, and they helped celebrate by birthday. I really, really like it!"

The food as always was really
good, but the service was awful this time around. We never got refills, it took forever to place a dessert order. The server was not friendly. When I would look for her she would be in the back of the room talking to another server."

Great restaurant located on WashU
campus. Food is fresh, buffet well worth the price. Nice atmoshphere and everyone is respectful, including the student body who often eat there."

"The First Energy Family has contributed more than $44,000.00 into re-election campaigns for Justices Cupp and O'Donnell this year alone," O'Neill, a Democrat who is running for the Ohio Supreme Court, wrote. "It is simply wrong for them to continue sitting on First Energy cases."
The Ohio Supreme Court, which has seven justices decide
the state's top judicial cases, is currently handling a case
involving FirstEnergy, an energy company based in Akron. More than
300,000 customers are suing the company over alleged fraud. The 11th
District Court of Appeals previously ruled against FirstEnergy, and the case was appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court.
The lawsuit is the fifth Ohio Supreme Court case involving FirstEnergy this year.
O'Neill pointed out the lawsuit "could easily be a billion dollar case" before writing, "And the public has a right to know that the ruling was not purchased by one side or another."
Ohio Sen. Mike Skindell, a Democrat who is also running for the Ohio Supreme Court, endorsed O'Neill's letter. In the past, he also criticized Cupp and O'Donnell for potential conflicts of interest.
The offices of Cupp and O'Donnell did not immediately respond to CityBeat's requests for comment on the letter. This story will be updated if responses become available.
UPDATE OCT. 4, 4:12 P.M.: Mark Weaver, spokesperson for Cupp, responded: "Mr. O'Neill previously raised this argument with disciplinary authorities by filing a complaint. It was reviewed by disciplinary authorities, and they unanimously dismissed it as having no merit."
More bad news for Secretary of State Jon Husted. The Ohio Supreme Court told Husted his approved ballot language for Issue 2 contains "factual inaccuracies" and must be rewritten by the Ballot Board. Voters First previously contested the language as misleading to voters. If approved by voters, Issue 2 will put an independent citizens commission in charge of redistricting. Under the current system, state officials redraw borders, sometimes using the process for political advantage. In Cincinnati's district, the Republican-controlled process redrew the district to include Warren County, giving the district more rural voters that tend to side with Republicans instead of urban voters that tend to side with Democrats. Voters First mocked the process with a graph showing how redistricting decisions can sometimes be made in 13 minutes with no questions asked. CityBeat covered the redistricting process here when Issue 2 was still in the petition process.
Ohio's median income dropped last year, according to a new report from the U.S. Census Bureau. But rates of poverty and uninsured rates remained the same. Nationwide, uninsured rates dropped from 16.3 percent in 2010 to 15.7 percent in 2011, meaning 1.4 million people gained health coverage. Some of that is attributable to health-care reform passed by President Barack Obama.Former University of Cincinnati President Greg Williams is getting a pretty nice going-away present. The Board of Trustees approved a package for Williams that adds up to more than $1.2 million. It includes a bonus, retirement benefits, consulting fees, a year's salary and a contract buyout. Williams abruptly left UC on Aug. 21, citing personal reasons.
Homeless shelters will cost more than expected, says 3CDC. The nonprofit group said it will cost about $40 million to build three homeless shelters and help finance others.
With the support of Democrats and Republicans, the Ohio legislature approved pension reforms yesterday. The reforms lower benefits, raise contributions requirements, increase the retirement eligibility age, establish new cost-of-living guidelines and set a new formula to calculate benefits, all for future retirees. For the most part, current retirees are not affected. Senate President Tom Niehaus, a Republican, said, "We know the changes are not popular, but they are necessary." Before the changes, the system was losing $1 million a day, according to a statement from Rep. Robert Hagan, a Democrat.Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio is pushing against banks that take advantage of college students. In a letter to Higher One, Brown told the bank to rework its contracts with universities. Brown wrote in the letter, "Federal student aid programs should help students prepare for the future, not extract fee income from them." He went on to ask the bank to redo its contracts so they are "consumer-friendly and consistent with reforms that Congress enacted for the credit card market."
Ohio's inspector general found ODJFS wrongly reimbursed organizations in central Ohio with federal stimulus funds when the organizations did not follow rules.
Vice President Joe Biden was in Dayton yesterday. During his speech, he spoke about the attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya, which led to the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Biden vowed justice will be served.
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney unleashed a big foreign policy gaffe yesterday when he politicized the attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya. The attack was revealed to cause the death of Stevens after Romney made his comments.

In his first major case while moonlighting for Stan Chesley's law firm, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters suffered a crushing defeat earlier this month when a jury rejected a product liability claim seeking tens of millions of dollars in damages. As a result, Deters has scuttled his plans to eventually move full-time into the private sector and instead will seek reelection as prosecutor in 2012, say Republican Party sources.
A media furor has erupted over a "newly released" letter to Pope Paul VI that indicates he and the Vatican knew about child sexual abuse by priests almost 50 years ago.
News accounts report the 1963 letter was released by attorneys in California who represented sexual abuse victims in the Los Angeles Diocese. In fact, those same attorneys have previously released numerous damning documents that got little media attention until now.
For the second time in three years, a Catholic priest has been pulled from parish duties from out of state and returned to Greater Cincinnati following allegations of sexual abuse.
The Rev. Robert F. Poandl was relieved of his ministry assignment as pastor of Glenmary missions in Georgia earlier this month and ordered to return to the Glenmary Home Missioners residence in Fairfield.
The action was taken after the Rev. Chet Artysiewicz, Glenmary president, was informed of an allegation of sexual misconduct involving a minor against Poandl. The abuse allegedly occurred about 30 years ago. Poandl, who is 70, has denied the allegation but isn't allowed to publicly function as a Catholic priest during the investigation process, Artysiewicz said.
Artysiewicz is Poandl's direct supervisor.
Police have been notified of the anonymous allegation, as have bishops in the dioceses affected by the investigation, including the Diocese of Savannah where Poandl was serving. The chairperson of the Glenmary Review Board was notified on Feb. 11, and an internal investigation was launched to determine the allegation's credibility.
"I am committed to maintaining accountability and transparency as this investigative process unfolds," Artysiewicz said in a prepared statement. "Father Poandl and I have both pledged our full cooperation in this investigation, and I will do whatever I can to meet the pastoral needs of all those involved."
In August 2010, just days before his trial on molestation charges in West Virginia was set to begin, all charges against Poandl were dropped. Poandl allegedly abused a boy on a trip there in 1991, when the complainant was just 10 years old. The case was dropped due to unspecified issues during the discovery process related to the boy's medical records.
The turn of events prompted the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) to write to 11 bishops in dioceses where Poandl worked, asking them to use their resources to contact others who might have been sexually abused by him, but only one in Texas replied.
Besides Cincinnati, Poandl worked in Kentucky (Franklin), Louisiana (New Orleans), Pennsylvania (Mifflintown and Doylesburg), Mississippi (Aberdeen), Oklahoma (Hugo), Texas (Pittsburgh and Mount Vernon), and most recently in Georgia (Claxton, Pembroke, Sandhill, Blairsville and Dahlonega).
He is originally from Metuchen, N.J., and studied in Ohio, Indiana and Mexico.
After the most recent allegation, SNAP has urged Artysiewicz to put Poandl in a secure treatment center away from children and pro-actively seek out others who may have seen, suspected or suffered from his alleged crimes.
In other news of possible priestly misconduct, jury selection continued today in a Philadelphia case involving two priests charged with rape and a monsignor charged with protecting them.
Monsignor William Lynn lost a bid to have his case thrown out based on new evidence found in a 10th-floor safe at the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. A memo turned over by the archdiocese this month states the late Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua ordered his top aides to shred a list of 35 accused priests still in ministry in 1994 — a decade before the child abuse scandal became widely publicized.
Lynn said he prepared the list and gave it to Bevilacqua after he became secretary for clergy in 1992 and started reviewing secret archives of priest abuse complaints. The complaints were kept in a secure room, rigged with an alarm, at the archdiocese's downtown headquarters.
Nearly 15 months after the disputed election, a federal judge ruled today that Hamilton County elections officials must count roughly 300 provisional ballots cast in a 2010 Juvenile Court judge race.
U.S. District Judge Susan Dlott said that the Board of Elections violated the voters' constitutional rights when it decided to count some provisional ballots but discard others based solely on the location of where they were cast.
So, just who did Jean Schmidt think was paying her mounting legal bills, anyhow?
That's the lingering question after the House Ethics Committee ruled today that Schmidt, a Republican congresswoman from Miami Township, did receive an "impermissible gift" by accepting about $500,000 in free legal help since spring 2009, but somehow didn't "knowingly" violate the law.
U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Miami Township) just doesn't fare so well in unscripted situations. In the latest example of that political truism, Schmidt testified Monday for nearly five hours in a deposition taken by attorneys for David Krikorian.
The deposition was taken in preparation for a Sept. 3 hearing before the Ohio Elections Commission. Schmidt filed a complaint with the commission alleging that Krikorian knowingly made a false statement about Schmidt in a piece of campaign literature last year.

In LDDT 2009, I was able to describe points like this: STK #32
But in Civil 3D 2013, whenever I use the # symbol, the description gets truncated. So, using the point description above, it will show up in Civil 3D 2013 as STK rather than STK #32.
Is this a setting or something that I can switch on so that the I can use symbols such as # and - in my point description?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Are you using Description Keys? If so, check the Format column of the description key that is not working. Try setting that to $* and see if you get the # sign.
Yes, I checked the description key format and it is set to $*.
Is it something to do with the Point Label Style for "description" that I have to change?
It's possible that you have Raw description being called rather than Full Description. Check the Contents of the Description component of your label style.
It was already set to Full Description.
I got it to work. I changed it to Raw Description, reimported the points and it showed up they way I wanted to.
Thanks for your help.

Matthew Perry is a busy man these days.
The NBC "Go On" star will return to CBS' "The Good Wife" for an episode set to air early next year.
Perry also made a brief appearance in the season four premiere, playing slick Chicago attorney Mike Kresteva.
Kresteva and Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) clashed last season during a blue-ribbon panel investigation. Kresteva later announced he would run against Alicia's husband Peter (Chris Noth) in a gubernatorial race, where he also faces billionaire Maddie Hayward (Maura Tierney). Perry appeared as Kresteva in the season premiere following an attack ad that appeared on TV against Peter.
Other notable guest stars so far this season on "The Good Wife" include Nathan Lane, Kristin Chenoweth, Amanda Peet, Miriam Shor, Christina Ricci and Marc Warren.
Perry's NBC freshman comedy "Go On" was picked up for a full season. It airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/ 8 p.m. CT, and features Perry as sportscaster Ryan King trying to move on with his life after his wife dies.
Perry is best known for his role on the hugely popular NBC sitcom "Friends," which ran for 10 seasons.
"The Good Wife" is on CBS Sundays at 9 p.m.
As much as I love Go On, I really enjoy his character on Good Wife without any shades of Chandler at all. A Little mean and a little obnoxious.. I like to see his acting spread out from time to time .

Wow, the last couple of days have really sucked. But you know what didn't suck? Compadre Field Day!
It rained on us a little, but that didn't dampen anyone's spirits as we frolicked on the field at Petco Park. This year, I had the photography services of my friend and fellow Gaslamp Baller alohabing. She has a really nice camera and took some good action shots of me. This is pure self-indulgence on my part. There are no pictures of Padre players in here, just me having a blast on the field. The Friar was there, if that adds any legitimacy. But if you want to see a fellow GLBer robbing a homerun, throwing off the mound, and chilling in the dugout, enjoy. This really was a cool experience. And you'll notice from the number of shots that I REALLY liked pitching from the mound. That was good times.
Again, nothing Earth-shattering here, just wanted to share.

Mineral County deputies have found two jail inmates who recently escaped.
Authorities say 18-year-old Shaiitarrio Brown and 20-year-old Devonte Williams escaped Mineral County Jail in Hawthorne on Wednesday around 9:30pm.
Channel 2 News confirms with the Mineral County Sheriff's Office that the two were found Thursday evening around 7:30 p.m. in Hawthorne. They were found in a shed and tried to run away, but deputies were able to take them back into custody.
Deputies say Brown was being held pending a probation violation hearing. Brown had previously been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and had been ordered into a supervised diversion program.
Williams was being held for a sentence on a conviction of domestic battery and is pending extradition to San Pablo, California, on charges of burglary and failure to appear.

It's been a busy few days for the Milwaukee Bucks; the RJ Giveaway Extravaganza (now featuring Amir Johnson!) rocked the NBA immediately preceding the draft. At least until Shaq and VC went to different teams earlier today and tWWL decided to focus on the Cleveland LeBrons and the Orlando Magic. The Jefferson trade itself was both a shrewd financial move and a disappointing talent loss. For 2009-10, I'm not thrilled with the way it went down, because that means another mediocre season. But I understand the corner the front office had to get out of, and I appreciate the way they got out of it. I hate myself for saying it, but the team is built for next year, not this year.
The biggest part of the trade, by most accounts, was giving the Bucks unprecedented flexibility on the issue of resigning Ramon Sessions and Charlie Villanueva. The national media regards Charlie V as the priority player, but folks around here know Memo's the main man. We should (hopefully) see news on this front by July 1st.
The draft, however, may have already given us a clue. Brandon Jennings' slide/being exactly where he belonged at 10, in addition to Jordan Hill and Jonny Flynn going to New York and Minnesota (respectively), made Hammond's choice between Jrue Holiday and Jennings a bit easier. In the end, he went with Jennings, and it may show a preference for the club to resign Villanueva first, then attend to Sessions. The fact that Jodie Meeks (who was a GREAT pick; scoring off the bench? Yes, please.) was taken in the 2nd, and there was no visible effort to acquire a PF further reinforces this sentiment.
Villanueva is a frustrating player because he's so big and talented, but insists on playing outside-in instead of the other way around. But if he leaves, Andrew Bogut is the only post presence on the team, and he hasn't shown an ability to produce consistently on offense. The Bucks can't afford to become a clone of the 08-09 Orlando Magic; Bogut is not Dwight Howard, and Michael Redd is the only Buck that can consistently hit the 3. They need to have good penetration and good passing, but most importantly, they need scoring inside. Villanueva can provide that (even if he doesn't like to), and since he's the only player on the roster who can, he almost has to stay.
Jennings has been somewhat of an enigma ever since turning down Arizona in favor of playing overseas in Italy. People know how skilled and freakishly athletic he is, but they cite his lack of production in Europe as evidence that he's just not ready for the NBA. And they're probably right.
This video shows exactly what Jennings is: an immensely skilled point guard with great speed, great passing, but an unreliable jumper. He'll blow by his man like Allen Iverson in his prime, and he'll make a pass so difficult only Steve Nash in his. But his jump shot is like LeBron James' circa 2005; the range is there, but the form is off. Great elevation, but his release point needs to be honed, as does his tendency to lean back over himself and kick out his legs. Will that ever be fixed? Perhaps not, but as long as he can hit the wide open ones, I'll be happy.
His main competition for playing time will be Ramon Sessions, if Sessions is re-signed. Sure, Luke Ridnour is still on the team, but in a season where we're almost assured a sub-.500 record, he should not be taking minutes from the two younger PG's.
Sessions is an intruiging young player who has put up some crazy numbers over his 1.5 seasons. He's not a great athlete, but has good size for the pros. His speed is adequate, as is his defense. Where he's special is when he can get penetration on the defense and use that pressure to distribute the ball or draw fouls. This is mitigated somewhat by his sub-par dribbling skills (a trait an NBA point guard should not at all have), but it hasn't really shown yet.
In a way, Jennings and Sessions are polar opposites of each other. Jennings is lightning-quick, Sessions is not. Jennings is almost tiny, Sessions is not. Jennings will often look for his own shot, Sessions does not. Jennings takes risks and makes poor decisions, Sessions does not. But what does this mean for the Bucks in both the short and long term?
If Sessions does not get resigned and is taken away by another team, then the answer is simple; let Ridnour man the point until Jennings is ready to handle more than 20-25 minutes a night. By "ready to handle", I'm not suggesting that Jennings can't play, but rather that Jennings can't play the NBA game just yet. He will start off his career by fouling too much, taking too many chances on defense, attempting too difficult of passes on offense, and generally being a pain in the neck for Scott Skiles. If he commits himself to learning the game, though, he will improve very quickly and hopefully be able to keep pace with the Derrick Rose's and Rajon Rondo's of the league.
However, if Sessions is resigned, then Jennings' role might take a different path. He'll surely start on the bench, and probably finish his first season there too. He'll compete with Sessions (and possibly Ridnour if he hasn't been traded yet), but be forced to take less than 20 minutes a night. Unless he can conform his game to Skiles' vision, he will be yanked early and often in favor of Memo if he makes too many mistakes. That sort of thing can take its toll on a player with an ego like Jennings', which will most definitely affect his standing with the team.
I want Jennings to succeed here; if he puts it all together, he can be the type of star player the city has lacked for 30+ years. He's a crazy mix of Allen Iverson, Chris Paul, and Rajon Rondo who can dish the rock and get his as well. (He's still a kid and a bit of a headcase, and I'm purposefully going to leave that issue and its potential affects on his game for another day.) But if the club is committed to resigning Ramon Sessions and unable to trade Luke Ridnour, Jennings' future in Milwaukee is cloudy.
In short, I think that keeping all three point guards (Sessions, Ridnour, and Jennings) on the team looks good on paper, but is a mistake. Somebody's going to get the short end of the stick; there's only 48 minutes to go around. Here's my ranked list of preferences of which combinations to keep (* denotes starter)
- Ridnour*, Jennings
- Sessions*, Jennings
- Sessions*, Jennings, Ridnour
I know, it seems blasphemous to prefer keeping Ridnour to Sessions. But if letting Sessions go means that Jennings gets a chance to develop into the star he can be, I think it's a necessary sacrifice. If (and that's a big if) Ridnour gets moved and the coaching staff finds a way to make Jennings and Sessions co-exist, then so much the better. But I have my doubts.

Are you a golfer who doesn't consistently hit the ball with the power and distance you feel you are physically capable of producing? Perhaps you aren't creating the correct angles with the club, hands and arms at the top of your backswing. An incorrect position at the top can be a major power leak.
It is difficult to get into the proper position at impact when the power angles in your right and left arms aren't intact. You need to set the stage for a delivery of power to the golf ball at the top of your backswing.
Many golfers experience a lack of power because their arms collapse into their body at the top of the swing. When the arms are pulled into the body at the top, the angles of power necessary for an explosive golf shot are destroyed. You know your left arm position at the top is incorrect if it is bent at the elbow, subsequently bringing the hands too close to the head. The right arm is out of position when the elbow flies up and points behind the golfer instead of the ground.
If the downswing is started from a point where the arms are bent incorrectly at the top of the backswing, the tendency is for the arms to straighten out prematurely in the downswing in an effort to generate power instead of letting it happen. This over-swinging unfortunately creates maximum club head speed prior to impact.
The proper arm and club position at the top of the backswing creates leverage — a law of physics that produces club head speed and one which cannot be compromised. The first lever is created when the wrists cock and form a 90-degree angle between the shaft and the left arm at the top. The second lever is also a 90-degree angle created when the right arm is folded at the elbow so the elbow points to the ground while the right palm points toward the sky.
The correct position at the top of the backswing has the arms and hands extended away from the body producing the right arc, length and height necessary for power. In my teaching, I've witnessed the following swing faults which cause a collapse at the top of the swing:
Lack of upper body turn.
When you fail to turn your chest away from the ball in your backswing and use only the arms to take the club to the top, the arms tend to buckle at the elbows and the hands finish too close to the head. Poor posture is often the culprit when a good body turn is hard to achieve.
Left-hand grip.
When you grip the club too much in the palm of the left hand, it inhibits the proper wrist hinge. Some golfers compensate for this poor grip by improperly hinging at the elbows on the way to the top of the backswing instead of hinging the wrists. This destroys the "two-lever" system and an early cast of the club head in the downswing is sure to result.
Club swings too much around the golfer.
Because we stand to the side of the golf ball, it is easy for golfers to get the club traveling too much to the inside and around them on the backswing. This gets the hands too low at the top with the right arm tucked to the side and right elbow stuck behind the body. With lack of extension on the takeaway, you lose the width that is necessary to create a wide swing arc — a key ingredient in powerful golf shots. From this poor top-of-the-backswing position you can produce pulls or slices.
Over-swinging to create speed and power.
Many golfers over-swing their hands, arms and club because of a false concept that maximum distance will result from an extra long backswing. The arms travel so far that they are no longer extended away from the body and are pulled inward with the hands reaching a point behind the head. As a result, the golfer casts the club head at the start of the downswing releasing all club head speed well before impact. You should take the approach that less is more when it comes to the length of the backswing.
To generate the power angles necessary for longer golf shots, try a drill in which you swing feeling as though your arms and the club swing three-quarters of the way back and make a complete forward swing into a balanced finish. This "shorter" backswing will help you create the correct position with your right and left arms where they are extended away from the body and contain the correct angles. The three-quarter backswing will most likely be the correct and full backswing for most golfers.
Starting the downswing from an efficient backswing position will allow you to experience more powerful contact with the ball and longer golf shots.

I bet you think this fanpost is about Sutton, don't you?
I am talking about Laurence Bowers.
Tonight the rest of his class will be saluted at Mizzou Arena. The class he came in with (except for JUCO transfers Ratliffe and M. Pressey). The class he spent three years playing with, practicing with, sweating with, winning with, and losing with.
When the news came out he tore his ACL, I, like many Mizzou fans, figured this season's expectations dramatically dropped. That this team has exceeded those pre-injury expectations has made this season one of the most fun and exciting Mizzou basketball seasons ever. And it's not over yet. The Tigers have the opportunity for a high seed in the tournament and a legit shot at a Final Four and Championship run.
This has to be killing Laurence Bowers a bit on the inside. I'm sure he's just as happy and excited for the team (if not more so) than the rest of us. But to be a player for three years with these guys and have to sit on the bench in a suit... damn that has to hurt knowing he could contribute to this.
We'll never know if this team would be as good with him on the floor. Whether he and Ratliffe would get in each other's way, whether Flip would have more assists throwing alley oop dunks behind defenses.
He is a senior, and even though he doesn't get this year to play, I think we should salute his hard work the past four years as well and wish him luck on his rehab. He'll be back next year, and I hope that team is just as exciting and fun to watch as this one.

|Holzinger cross-examines Meg Kyle
Testimony during the hearing established that the proposed billboard is approximately 500' away from another digital display, in violation of a zoning ordinance that requires a separation of 1000.'
Attorney Jim Holzinger, representing competitor Tri-Outdoor, provided zoners with caselaw in which courts have strictly interpreted ordinances establishing distances between billboards. He argued that Lamar would have to establish a hardship, no matter how many public service announcements are displayed.
Holzinger also complained that there already are two freestanding and four wall signs at the site. ZHB member Linda Shay Gardner questioned the relevance of other signs, to which Holzinger retorted, "We don't want drivers distracted."
Currently, there are six digital billboard in Bethlehem, owned by Adams Outdoor and Tri-Outdoor.
Kyle vowed to return with an application for a static billboard.
In other business, zoners gave Lehigh Valley Community Mental Health Centers (LVCMHC) a green light for administrative offices and a training facility at the former St. John's Capistrano Church, located at 902-910 E. 4th Street. President Melissa Martinez assured zoners that "no client services" will be provided at the site.
Established in 1996, LVCMHC has five locations, with its biggest located directly across the street from the church. Martinez estimates that 10-15 new jobs will be added to the 40-person employment roster at her company.
Realtor Connie Ulans told zoners that Bethlehem refuses to allow church demolitions, but they are actually "albatrosses" that are difficult to sell. She noted that the church is too large to convert to a house economically.
|Rachel Haddad thought she was buying a two-unit dwelling
She purchased 1210 Linden Street as an investment property. It was listed as a two-unit building in county and multi-list records. She met the tenant of the upstairs apartment. She saw the separate kitchens, bathrooms and doors. But at closing, she learned for the first time that City records consider it a single family dwelling
Her Realtor, Tom Demshock, testified that the entire block was built by a developer who put up multi-family units. He also produced a City Directory establishing that, since at least 1949, there were two units at the site.
Attorney Thomas Schlegel, representing Haddad, argued that the expense of deconversion justified a variance. Haddad added that she will decline to purchase the property unless there are two units. "I would not want to eject a tenant who's been there for thirty years," she stated.
She won't have to because zoners unanimously agreed to a variance for a two-unit dwelling.
Zoners gave David Burian a green light for an enclosed porch at the rear of his residence on 1930 Fenway Avenue. They will permit retired educator George "Skip" John to build a porch roof at the rear of his 5 E. Taurus residence. Finally, they allowed Richard and Elizabeth Elterich to construct an addition to their home at 2705 Lafayette Avenue.
Elizabeth sat through a number of hearings on two different nights before her case was heard. Zoners apologized for making her wait, but she responded, "It was a great civics lesson."
