Right as Rain
George P. Pelecanos
Right as Rain
|George P. Pelecanos
|Little, Brown
With his eight crime novels set in and around Washington, D.C., George Pelecanos has attained more than just a measure of success. Always a favorite of critics and his fellow crime writers, Pelecanos has in the past few years been elevated by his publisher and the reading public from regional renown to national prominence. Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and Miramax's Harvey Weinstein are reportedly both producing films based on his novels.
Unlike many of the crime novelists who over the past decade have made a name for themselves writing lightweight "tourist mysteries," books set in colorfully offbeat and previously underappreciated cities, Pelecanos uses his considerable knowledge of Washington's recent history to highlight the city's decline over the past 30 years due to drugs, poverty, racism, and alternating cycles of apathy and hostility on the part of city and federal officials. His heroes are survivors who still believe in the elemental of virtues of decency and friendship. In their depictions of urban violence and day-to-day life in one of America's most troubled places, Pelecanos' best novels--my choices are King Suckerman and The Sweet Forever--read more like the kind of trenchant reportage that wins Pulitzers than escapist crime fiction.
At the beginning of his new novel, Right as Rain, Derek Strange, an African-American ex-cop who now owns his own private detective agency, is hired by the mother of a black police officer killed while off-duty by a white colleague. The white officer, Terry Quinn, has been exonerated, but the mother believes that her dead son has been denied justice. Strange meets with Quinn, discovering that he likes him and believes his account of the shooting. Haunted by the incident and the latent racism it exposed, Quinn has retired from the force and now works in a used-book store. Strange asks for Quinn's help in investigating the dead cop's erratic behavior on the night he was killed. Together they uncover a connection between the incident and the activities of a local drug dealer and his extensive network of suppliers and enforcers.
When focusing on Strange and Quinn's tentative, uneasy friendship, Right as Rain radiates real emotional warmth. Both characters are appealingly flawed and genuinely likable. Unfortunately, Pelecanos' attempts to play sociologist are more heavy-handed here than in previous novels. In one of the book's many contrived discussions, the book's unpleasant and uninteresting villains--a white father-and-son drug-dealing team--casually recount the arrival of purer grades of heroin with the gravity of CNBC analysts, seemingly only to edify readers:
For the Colombians, it kills the competition. I'm talkin' about the Asians, who were putting out seven-,10-percent product, and the Mexicans, too. The Colombians upped the purity and lowered the price and now they're gonna own most of the U.S. market. And what this pure shit does, it creates a whole new class of customers.
Such unnatural expository dialogue detracts from the novel's journalistic integrity and literary aspirations, as does the bloody climax that too conveniently brings together and terminates every one of the major characters' narrative arcs. While Pelecanos should be commended for his ongoing chronicle of the social and political ills of a city for which he obviously cares a great deal, his latest effort sacrifices pathos for pedagogy.

This is especially useful if you are getting a rental car, since it might be better to drive a bit farther in order to save money on airfare. If you're booking an international flight, you probably want the closest major airport, otherwise if you're a pilot you may be looking for a local airport.

size of the room
we were in block f and it was too far away from the hotel pool and Bar etc
Our suite location staff
I very much liked everything about my experience with this resort.
As soon as we walked onto reception we felt right at home. The apartments may have been a little dated but were amongst the best equiped i have ever booked.Having a shopping centre next door and outlet mall very close were added bonuses. We were in "E" block and it was quiet and also had a smaller pool next to it.
The extremely helpful and welcoming guy that met us in reception. The pool area with kids entertainment. The two bedroom apartment was so comfortable. Could not fault it.
Loved it all.
Great pool Bar Big rooms Kitchen and washer facilities Beds - really comfy Entertainment Location
Not daily cleaning service Large group of college kids taking over pool.
Pool was perfect and staff friendly.
Pool was open until 11pm which meant there was noise until then. Rooms were a bit dated and could do with a freshen up.
Apartment was spacious.Property was lovely.
No housekeeping services.only towels replaced.not regular busses to parks. Overpriced
location and pool area
although very clean, décor was a bit dated.
- The resort not gated - No security camera
The shuttle didn't run when I needed it
the room was clean and staff very friendly and helpful, grounds were well landscaped. Size of room was nice and layout was good.
Furniture in the room needed so updating, it was clean but I could tell it was aged.
Good facilities ,cafe and bar. Overall a good stop off on our way to the Everglades
The shop is very expensive!
Two room condo/apartment was very comfortable. Pool area was great for kids, and the overall location was convenient to the theme parks.
We ate at the bar/cafe next to the pool most evenings. Even though we were not doing takeaway, all food was put in takeaway containers, with lids, which immediately went into the garbage. Not very environmentally friendly!
Location close to outlet, free wifi , big apartment
U cant open the balcony, no service room only organize bed and clean trash that's all.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms large great for families! Price good and love the location. Love the layout of the rooms!
Noise if you want to sleep in you can't the doors slam so loud it's impossible to sleep. Also have stayed many times and large tub in master always has a problem either can't keep water in or let water out or jets don't work.
The room was very clean and the location was close to the mall, restaurants and pharmacies
I couldn't connect my PS4 to the Tv and the TVs were out dated
Location is great
Bed very uncomfy. Left a day early when both my sons broke out in a rash.
Stuff Facilities
Some problems with the WiFi
Had a great stay here. The pool was amazing and rooms very spacious. Would stay here again

WASHINGTON (AP) - A leading Republican senator is threatening to hold up Senate confirmation of President Barack Obama's nominees to lead the Defense Department and the CIA until the White House provides more answers about the deadly Sept. 11 attack against a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya.
Sen. Lindsey Graham is angered by what he calls White House "stonewalling" about the attack that killed four Americans, including the ambassador.
Graham tells CBS he'll hold up Senate action on the nominations of Chuck Hagel as defense secretary and John Brennan as CIA director until he gets what he wants.
The senator wants to know what Obama was doing during the time of the attack and whether he was in touch with Libyan officials.
Democratic Sen. Jack Reed calls Graham's threat "unprecedented and unwarranted."

It might be a battery issue, and not the battery in the trunk. The rechargeable battery in the instrument cluster might be bad. If this is either discharged, or just bad, your cruise control won't work

Ok so we don't exactly need an excuse to treat ourselves to a fashionable gift – but boy do we love being given an incentive to! For the past five years, Gucci has created a limited edition collection as part of the Gucci Campaign to Benefit UNICEF where part of the proceeds go directly to the charity in support of their continued work in Africa. This year Gucci have teamed up with acclaimed author Michael Roberts to create illustrations and a sequel to his highly successful book Snowman in Paradise. The sequel Snowman in Africa is on sale now for £18 and 100% of the proceeds will go to UNICEF. The illustrations from the book have also been used on a collection of bags and accessories* that are also on sale now. We've picked the super-cute, elephant-print 'Joy' bag to go at the top of our wishlist. Uber-model Elle Macpherson has already been seen out and about looking super-stylish with hers. So are you tempted...thought so!

You needn't pledge allegiance to hip or square to dig this collection of tunes from the 1960s-era, animated-for-TV specials Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, with classic vocals from Burl Ives (Rudolph) and Jimmy Durante (Frosty). "We're a Couple of Misfits" sounds comical separated from the Rudolph's visuals. But it's still one fierce sing-along. (Sony Wonder)

All the best and Thank You!
Cheers :)
Although seeing the Canadian forest and nature was a great way of coming back and reuniting with our country, Air Canada on the other hand greeted us rather coldly and deserves a mention for their greedy way of taking money from us at every possible corner. Let me first start that although we flew often with other airlines on this trip, it was only our last connecting flight from Vancouver to Toronto with Air Canada that we were charged extra for our luggage. Doing a long intercontinental flight and this being a connecting flight we should have been ok with our two luggages, but Air Canada thought otherwise. Secondly, upon entering the aircraft the inside temperature was hot and as the sweat was forming up, thoughts came running down if perhaps they were trying to save a couple of cents on their air conditioning bill? Thirdly, everything on the flight from drinks to food to blankets was being charged for (AC was set to max once we took off). Fourthly, one of my last luggage was not put on the flight and arrived late the next day. Way to go you cheap bastards!!! Ranting aside, it was good to land in Toronto to see some friendly faces. :)
Car Selling Tips:
We listed our car on two websites a month before arriving in Brisbane. By the time we were in our last city we had a couple interested people who we could contact. We could have not done it without the following great sites:
Just chilling at a beach. Nothing more. Nothing less.
The cruise boat took us to a platform AHH reef called Reefworld that floats in the ocean right by Hardy Reef. We got our gear ready for snorkeling and put on body suits for the water was rather on the cold side.� Maybe for whales it is warmer, they migrate to have their young this time of year and we actually spotted some as they were swimming farther out by the boat.� Back to the reef…it was magnificent.� I got so occupied looking at the various crevices, corals and fish I did not notice how cold I got, being in the water for about an hour.� I came out with blue lips and my body was shacking for a while after.� Then again, when will I come back to the reef?� � A reef of many reefs that stretches 2500km (you can see it from space!).� The corals have colours of blue, yellow, purple, white, the fish are also very colourful and have many patterns on their bodies. � This tour also included: lunch, complimentary tea and cakes. There was also a ride in a semi-submerged submarine and a viewing window where a 3 meter groper swam about.� For the price we paid (which seemed pricy at first), it was all worth it for this whole day excursion.

North Carolina's vehicle Tag and Tax Together program was designed to collect vehicle property taxes along with registration renewals and to conveniently pay them together.
If the address on your vehicle registration is current, you will receive a statement that lists both vehicle registration fees and taxes due. Vehicle owners will receive this statement about 60 days prior to their vehicle's registration expiration.
Beginning in 2013, your annual vehicle inspection, registration renewal and vehicle property tax will be due the same month each year. Only one payment – made either in person, online or by mail – is required to pay both the annual tag and tax for your vehicle (Inspection fees are still paid to the inspection station).

On Friday evening, a car accident involving a driver suspected of operating her vehicle while under the influence of alcohol took place, injuring four in San Tan Valley, Arizona.
Pinal County Sheriff's Office officials stated that the collision occurred just west of Kenworthy Road on Combs Road in San Tan Valley, when a minivan, being driven by a 51-year-old female, that was travelling eastbound collided with an SUV that was headed in the opposite direction. The SUV, being driven by 50-year-old Susan Jimenez, crossed over the raised center median and smashed through several cacti before causing the head-on collision.
PCSO spokesmen stated that the driver of the minivan, her 20-year-old male front seat passenger, and two children, both females and aged 7 and 10, were all hurt in the crash and were taken to hospitals in the region. None of their injuries are being described as non-life threatening at this point.
The suspect, Jimenez, also suffered non-life threatening injuries, and she was taken to the hospital as well. Before this however, she was helped by an off-duty nurse who was present at the scene and assisted Susan until emergency personnel arrived. The nurse found a bottle of Vodka in the SUV which she pointed out to police.
Police promptly checked her for signs of impairment and deemed that she was likely under the influence of alcohol, the deputies being able to smell it on her breath, among other obvious signs including the bottle found in her car.
As well, she did not have a valid Arizona Driver License, her privilege being revoked after an Aggravated DUI conviction in Maricopa County in 1999.
PCSO Sheriff Paul Babeu stated:
"Cases like these are tragic reminders of what can happen when somebody gets behind the wheel while impaired by alcohol. Ms. Jimenez didn't get the message the last time she was convicted of Aggravated DUI. Hopefully she will understand this time how her actions almost cost four innocent people their lives."
Police took her into custody shortly after she was treated for her injuries at the hospital. She will face charges of Aggravated Assault, Endangerment, and DUI.
This is an extreme case of reckless behavior, and as a car accident lawyer in Phoenix, you can only hope that others will learn from hearing news of this accident and seeing how the Ms. Jimenez did not learn, as Sheriff Babeu put it.
You see too many drunk and impaired drivers on our roads, and they are creating devastating accidents on a daily basis.
Our Arizona DUI accident law firm hopes for the speedy and full recovery for those victims who were injured and we will update you with new information as it unfolds.

Learn what your dad never taught you about budgeting
The art of living on a budget sometimes gets a bad rap. It's often confused with penny-pinching and can seem very limiting to outsiders who are lucky enough to observe their fiscally-responsible friends' financial precautions. But no matter on which side of the budgeting table you sit, you need to throw out any negative associations you have with the word budget — thrift, economy, scraping, penury — and replace those loaded concepts with three new ones: awareness, communication, and accountability.
Your parents may have taught you the basics about money and budgeting, but they never said it quite like this. What Your Dad Never Taught You About Budgeting is a laugh-out-loud book about a very serious topic: budgeting. Today's economic climate, as well as ever changing technology, presents unique challenges in developing effective money habits. Pete the Planner teaches some old school money lessons, yet with a modern and easy to understand comic twist. You will have a good time when you finally find out What Your Dad Never Taught You About Budgeting.

As a pregnant woman you hear a lot of new terms. One that you will hear fairly often is a "normal pregnancy". What is a "normal pregnancy"?
There is no textbook pregnancy. Just look at our list of articles and see all the possible side effects and complications that can happen as a result of pregnancy. You could have a bloody nose or morning sickness. You could have preterm labor or be induced two weeks late. You could have a quick vaginal delivery or a C-section. Which of these is a "normal pregnancy"?
The answer is: There Is No Normal Pregnancy! Pregnancy is a truly personal experience. If you talk to other moms, chances are their second pregnancy was nothing like their first.
The lesson here is that you never know what to expect in pregnancy. Think of it as preparation for motherhood; because just like in pregnancy, there is no way to predict the path of your child. What is a "normal child" anyway?

NASCAR docked the popular driver 25 points, putting him in second place with seven races to go toward the season's championship.

We always hear how the first years of a child's life are the most important ones. It is especially important to keep that in mind this week.
To celebrate the "Week of the Young Child," Governor Doyle has proposed a budget initiative titled "Quality Care for Quality Kids."
The initiative is now before the joint finance committee. Its aim is to strengthen the quality of child care in Wisconsin.
First Lady Jessica Doyle stresses the importance of learning at a young age. "As a middle school teacher, too often I saw what happened when students had started school already behind in learning. Hard as they worked in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade to catch up, too few were able to make up enough lost ground to graduate from high school with the rest of their class."
Wisconsin is the 14th state to implement a five–star rating system, giving five stars to providers with the highest level of quality care.
Parents will then be able to use the information to pick the best provider for their children.
The finance committee is expected to vote on the program in April or May.

A couple of weeks after world-famous Librería Martínez announced it was perilously close to shutting down, Latino USAs authors heeded the call and began booking gigs. Their promises are now bearing fruit (except Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez of Dirty Girls Social Club fame, who flat-out snubbed the bookstore one recent Friday night, leaving dozens of fans disappointed), and the biggest name is now in town: Sandra Cisneros. The famed Chicana author doesnt have a book or cause to hawkshe knows that her appearance will draw hundreds of people and thousands of dollars in much-needed revenue to the bookstore, and that says more about Cisneros character than any award-winning novella shell ever publish.

Bottle Art
Okay, so I was skeptical, a book on Bottle Art? But Cindy Shepard's ideas turned me into a convert and I see some bottle art gifts on my future projects list!
I have to say, I was most charmed by what might have been one of the easiest projects in the book - the chalkboard bottles. A few coats of paint, a carefree wire curl to hold a card, and you're done! Great for the wine list at a party, a menu board for your dinner club guests - shoot, you could even transform little bottles (or leftover bottle pieces) into placecards with chalkboard paint! But that's not the only project I'm smitten with. The Hang-Ups are a bottle rack using the top and cork of wine bottles. I could see that also in a kitchen for towels and an apron. The photo holders are fun, and would be especially fun if you had specialty soda bottles that you used in the kids favorite flavors.
Windchimes, cheese servers, candleholders, jewelry, suncatchers and more fill this 19-page book with inspiration and instructions. Cindy covers the basics, of course, of cutting the bottles and kiln basics (yes, some projects require a kiln). This book is packed full of projects no matter whether your bottle choices lean toward wine and beer or salsa and jelly.

I've been a Resident Evil fan since the first game. And just like you said, the graphics may suck these days since we are used to the ones we have now (duh), but the games kick ass. Now that you mentioned it...I just might start compliting them :D
Anyway, back to the topic.
Well I just completed all the Metal Gear Solid games. I still remember when the PS1 version came out. Like it was the best ever. I had completed the Nintendo 8bit MGS's before that so it was a huge "Whoa dude!" at that time ^^
Now I'm playing FF7 every now and then and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 on the side. Was thinking compliting all the Crash Bandicoots
Last edited by Zerabitu; 09-05-2010 at 09:16 PM.
Ok, so it's been some time now. Crash Bandicoots #1, #2 and #3 are completed. Sure was alot fun there. Sad part is, that the game got easier after every sequal.
Been playing NSUNH3 while being on NB and got a bit stuck. Hard opponent blocking my path :no_ignore:
But, after I cleaned my room a bit, I found an original Duke Nukem 3D package and I just had to install it. Well, it was rather easy and nostalgic but I managed to complete it.
There was some other games in the same place and I also went through Full Throttle (AWESOME to the max).
Now I tried to find something harder and now I'm currently trying to complete Leisure Suit Larry 1 !
Sorry about the double post but...didn't have much options.
Last edited by Zerabitu; 09-25-2010 at 01:47 PM.

So now that the thread got live again, I can update my status
Lesuire Suit Larry #1 is completed, believe it or not. It sure took me a while to get it done but I did. Oh okay I got a bit help but that's acceptable, right ?
Well, time has passed since my last post and my victory over Larry...I've been playing Diablo 2!! I eagerly wait for the 3rd part and desided to refresh my memories about that game aswell ^^

I do, I even pre-ordered original from UK , got two days ago It's epic, gotta love all those boss fights. I didn't try co-op yet, just elimination in multiplayer, it was okay, but fighting monsters is much more fun to me.

Final Fantasy VIII is my favorite Final Fantasy game
I'm currently playing Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, I'm on my second play through right now. Just finished beating it on easy mode and started playing normal. I just got to the second chapter of Part I and it's getting hard already. The normal mode is way harder than the easy mode but the experience is amazing.
So Diablo II is going just swell.
Didn't remember how much fun it was ^^
But I had to start a new game since I ordered it and it finally bashed in through the hole on my door. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2.
The story was short and quickly completed. The boss fights were rather easy and only times I had any real challenge was against Kakuzu and Pain.
And before anyone comes up with the bright and smart comment "check the options for difficulty". Duh, you think ?
Well there was an option but the option affects the difficulty level of the Free Battle (versus) mode. Wich was a disapointment. But luckily the levels were up to their title. Example Super Hard was super hard indeed. Still gives a bit of a challenge and keeps me on my toes but the pace of the battle is not that hard to get used to. Looking forward to test the online battles though. Hopefully there will be someone that has the skills of a true master.
All characters were easy to obtain and had alot of nice cool jutsus and combos. There is alot of difference in characters. For example Kisame is really slow but has some powerful combos and you really don't want to get hit by that sword of his. And the 4th Hokage can really get you confused teleporting here and there with really quick movements.
Takes time to master the timing and all that and the combat system all together works nicely and has improved ALOT from the previous games.
Overall the game's story mode pretty much sucked donkey balls tbh. I guess because you know what is going to happen (allthough some scenarios were modified) and there wasn't alot to do really...just run around from battle to battle.
But the versus mode keeps you entertained, especially when you play with a friend.
I'm playing Fable III
im playing dragonball z tenkaichi tag team and GOW:ghost of sparta
Finished Army of two: The 40th day.
Did a playthrough on co-op and it was great although a bit short imo and excellent fun but could do with a more variety of enemies, only like 4 types through the game as i recall.... The weapon customization was great though if you don't save after it, the next time you die (which i did a lot ) you have to redo customizations and you can't save until you reach end of chap and there's no clear indication that it will end on some chaps.
Overall, it was great fun in co-op though there are some things that need altering in the third edition of this game.

Pasta comes in a tongue-twisting variety of shapes and sizes, from huge to tiny, skinny to fat, curvy to blocky. Why? Because pasta sauces also come in many varieties. The key to matching shape to sauce is in the shape itself. The basic principle? Like goes with like.
Thin pastas, according to the National Pasta Association, are best with thin sauces; the sauces slide easily over the smooth pasta surfaces. Hollow or twisty shapes, on the other hand, are great with chunkier sauces, because the saucy bits can nest inside or get caught in the ridges. And thick pastas go best with thick sauces.
To keep dried pasta from sticking to itself while cooking, Harold McGee advocates presoaking your pasta. (Even if you forget this step, don't toss olive oil into the pasta-cooking water; the oil will prevent the pasta from absorbing the sauce. Do add salt, however, to the water for more flavor.) If you're simmering a fairly liquid sauce to go with the pasta, consider removing the pasta from its water before it's done and finishing the cooking in the sauce itself; the pasta will absorb even more flavor this way. And be sure to cook the pasta al dente (just barely firm) instead of into mush.
Here are a few favorite pasta shapes and ways to serve them.
Something else to be aware of with pasta is the surface texture. The coarse texture that you find on pasta that is extruded through the classic bronze dies has more surface nooks and crannies to hold the sauce. Look on the box, it will tell you if the manufacturer uses bronze dies, they are understandably proud of them. mmmmm....pasta!

The "Las Ultimate Twirlers" from the Lawrence, Mass., Boys & Girls Club won this year's "Science of Sports" Science Fair competition presented by Raytheon Company and the New England Patriots.
More than 115 children from New England Boys & Girls Clubs worked with Raytheon mentors for the past four months to prepare for the exciting competition held Sunday, May 6, at Gillette Stadium.
Twenty-three teams hailing from Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island presented their projects to a panel of 11 technical judges from Raytheon. The top 6 teams advanced to a second round, which was judged by Raytheon Chairman and CEO William H. Swanson, The Kraft Group Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft, and Patriots' Running Back Danny Woodhead. The projects were judged on the basis of creativity and innovation; scientific approach and demonstrated knowledge; presentation and display; and teamwork and team spirit. Teams that did not advance to the second round competed in a challenge activity in which the winning team was awarded a trip to the Patriots' training camp this summer.
15 Students Win Scholarships
The winning project tested how body positioning affects the speed of rotation when performing a "giant" around the high bar in gymnastics. Each member of the winning team will receive a $1,000 scholarship provided by Raytheon and the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation. Second place went to the "Woodheads" from the Leominster, Mass., club; each member of that team will receive a $750 scholarship. The "Helmet Testers" from the Newport, R.I., club earned third place, and each member will receive a $500 scholarship.
Investing in Future Generations
"Science of Sports" Science Fair has its roots in Raytheon's signature MathMovesU® program, an innovative initiative designed to engage students in math and science by helping them make exciting connections between math and their interests , highlighting math-based career possibilities. The science fair program expands the partnership between Raytheon and the New England Patriots, who opened The Hall at Patriot Place presented by Raytheon in September 2008. Raytheon supports The Hall's education program, which benefits visiting school groups, and sponsors the "In the Numbers" exhibit at The Hall, an interactive trivia game that connects math and science with the fundamentals of football to engage students.

Scott had what he called an "indifferent" front nine where he bogeyed twice, letting Gay take a two-stroke lead at 8 under with two birdies over four holes. But Gay drove into the middle of the lake on the par-4 12th, setting up consecutive bogeys.
The Aussie didn't waste the opportunity.
He birdied Nos. 13, 15 and 16, taking the lead back to himself after hitting an iron within 4 feet on the 13th and holing a 13-footer on 15 to move to 8 under. He birdied the par-5 16th after lipping the edge of the cup from 10 feet for an eagle Scott still wished he hadn't missed that could have put him at 10 under.
Scott, who has not bogeyed once on the back nine this week, said he would have worried about Gay if he had kept making birdies.
"I was happy to get it together on the back nine after an indifferent front nine but turned it around and played some good golf and had a chance to really make a move with the eagle at 16. Would have been nice, but very happy with the finish anyway," Scott said.
Toms, who hasn't finished worse than 10th at the TPC Southwind since 2001, put himself in position to challenge Scott with five birdies and a bogey. He lipped out a 3-footer for birdie on No. 16.
The Shreveport, La., resident who usually has his share of LSU fans cheering him said difficult pin placement mixed with the grain of the Bermuda greens, which replaced the bentgrass after 2004, make putting very difficult. He three-putted No. 7 for bogey.
Toms also came here to tune up for the Open, and he said he is glad to have the chance to win.
"No matter how I play, I feel like I'm on the road to feeling very confident about my game and in good shape going into the U.S. Open, which you need to be because I know it's going to be a very difficult test up there," he said.
The par-4 ninth single-handedly knocked Buckle off the pace with a pair of double bogeys hours apart.
The first came with Buckle at 6 under Saturday morning finishing up his second round. Grouped with Gay and Scott in the third, Buckle drove in the right rough and hit his third onto the green only to watch it trickle back within a foot of the water and he couldn't get up and down.
He finished with a 75 and was at 1 over overall.
Divots: Jose Coceres withdrew after nine holes because of back problems. ... Ken Duke had the best front nine Saturday, shooting a 31. The native of Arkadelphia, Ark., bogeyed four of the first five holes on the back nine and finished with a 70 for a 2-over total. ... Nathan Green holed a putt from 54 feet for birdie on No. 13. It didn't help much. He shot a 73 and was tied for 72nd.

For the first time in nearly 30 years, the Environmental Protection Agency plans to strengthen standards for water pollution from coal-fired power plants.
The agency said Tuesday that equipment required to reduce air pollution has increased the harmful contaminants in water discharged by power plants. It also said that existing regulations are not enough to protect water quality and wildlife.
In a study completed earlier this year, the EPA found that only a fraction of the nation's power plants were using the necessary technologies to remove pollutants before they are released into waterways. The announcement comes a day after three environmental groups threatened to sue the EPA for failing to update its regulations, first put in place in 1982.

Wonderful, well-paced service on a very busy Sat. night.....handled a special request and attended to a slight mix-up in orders before we even realized it had occurred. Had a glass of quite a nice Shiraz from Australia; at $5 a steal. Food was excellent - the Fragrant Pork especially - but my Chicken Cashew, while "okay", was a bit bland and needed more vegetables. Overall, a great dinner at a very reasonable price. As I said, we'll be back.

- We enjoyed ourselvesdontgetoutmuchDined on 12/24/2013We enjoyed ourselves and the overall experience was pretty good but there were a few problems. The room was very cold. It was a frigid night but the restaurant had been open and busy for hours so there was no excuse for the temperature of the room. Also, one of the entrees was just barely lukewarm. Luckily the flavor was very good. Otherwise the food was good standard fare and the atmosphere was pleasant for this type of big restaurant.Special Features:
- A Holiday Tradition:MominsunprairieDined on 12/24/2013A perfect "Christmas Story" experience. Like the movie, it is hard to find a restaurant open on Christmas Eve. The Imperial Garden has served Madison area for decades this special evening. It is often that you bump into friends who are also dinning there the same night. The service is excellent, ambiance fun and food fresh, home made and delicious. There are no jar sauces at the Imperial Garden.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Under staffed.StephVIPDined on 12/23/2013The food was exceptional. Waited a bit for our entrees, not a big deal as we could tell they did not have enough staff serving tables. I would rate the service higher if it didn't take them 20 minutes with my credit card. That was frustrating. Don't be in a hurry. The food is worth some wait time though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Wonderful & UniqueLBEspieDined on 10/16/2013The food here is consistent, and top quality. The only Chinese restaurant in town that makes food this way. 3 examples are the eggrolls (they make their own wraps home made), the Mu Shu (fresh, crunchy, flavorful veggies with virtually no sauce - an incredible talent), and the Governor's dishes-spicy, but mostly full of flavor unlike any version of Kung Pao around.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I'll be backKrona64Dined on 10/1/2013What a gem! This was my first visit, made while on the road for business. Delightful ambience, great and professional wait staff, and really nice food. I started with the pan fried pot stickers and followed that with the Black Pepper Beef. Main course was served sizzling style at the tableside. Delicious! I look forward to visiting again during my next trip to Madison.Special Features:
- Chinese Delight!Gone4everDined on 9/21/2013By taking advantage of the Imperial banquet style dinner I introduced five of my relatives to authentic Chinese cuisine. All of them told me they had an excellent time and truly enjoyed the experience. The food was great; and the service was even better. If you like Chinese food this is the place to go.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not as good as it used to be.Searching4thebestVIPDined on 9/16/2013We left disappointed. The mu shu pork was excellent, but that was the only thing we enjoyed. The appetizer combo plate was sad -- the tasteless chicken stuffed dumplings tasted only of the old oil they had been cooked with, the bbq pork slices were dried out, clearly old and shrunken, the calamari was colorless and limp, the eggrolls were crisp but full of only tasteless cabbage. The pork lo mein with veggies had almost no veggies, the fried rice had veggies but was totally bland. Service was inattentive, bringing appetizer and first course together despite our clear request to have them follow one another, and there was no checking back to see how things were or what we needed, with a long wait for the bill.

Service Specials
Dealer Specials
Lexus service Long Island specials for all shoppers visiting Lexus of Massapequa
Customers who drive Lexus vehicles and are in search of a reliable dealer offering Lexus service can now get Long Island specials on Lexus service at the Lexus of Massapequa dealership.The Lexus of Massapequa dealership is known for its commitment to providing the best of all things to our customers. Whether it be a wide range of new and used vehicles, options to purchase or lease any car, or offering the recommended services for the maintenance of a vehicle; we have it all and more.
With years of experience in the automobile dealership industry, we know how important it is to take good care of a vehicle. Regardless of whether you've spent a modest sum or splurged big bucks on your car, it will deliver its optimum performance as long as it is well looked after.
To do that, it is essential that the vehicle is taken to a dealership service center for regular service. This may be twice a year or even once every three months, depending on the usage of the vehicle, how it is driven, and the terrain on which it is driven most frequently.

A common known fact for all tanks is that Stamina + Armor is the way to go. You should try being hit capped, but with expertise it's not needed as much unless you're threat is horrible. The more stamina + armor you have, the more overall damage reduction + survivability you have.
When you're tanking a boss, threat shouldn't be that big of an issue, if it is then I'd say go with expertise. You should be getting all stamina except for having your Meta gem active, which should be the 32 stamina +2% armor increase to all items.
2 extra stamina is 20 health, and the armor percentage increase is nice as well. So keep it up with the stamina.
