Champs Sports Bowl Player
Profile: Purdue TE Dustin Keller, team bowl history and more
Several bowl games this season should be
offensive shootouts thanks to fantastic offenses and explosive
The 2006 Champs Sports Bowl won't be one of them, and it's not
because the offenses are awful. Well, the Maryland offense isn't
exactly what you'd call potent, but this will likely be an offensive
show because the defenses flat-out stink.
Purdue has taken a two-year break from stopping anyone finishing
this season 114th in the nation allowing 433 yards per game while
getting scored on more than Britney on a bender. Maryland's attack
has been consistently average, but the Boilermaker D provides just
the cure to get well.
Basically, Purdue
won every game it was supposed to, and lost every game it was
supposed to. The offense bombed away on Notre Dame in s 35-21 loss,
the defense showed up against an offensively challenged Penn State
in a 12-0 loss, and Hawaii needed a big late drive to win 42-35. The
best win came at home over Minnesota, while the second best win came
over ... Indiana? Ball State? Let's just say Purdue still has a lot
to prove.
Maryland was rarely great, but it was almost always clutch in close
games beating FIU by four, Virginia by two, NC State by six, Florida
State by three, Clemson by one and Miami by one. Along the way, the
offense gained confidence knowing it could come through when it had
to getting a late drive and a last second field goal to beat Clemson
and two long touchdown catches from Darrius Heyward-Bey to beat
For the most part, the Terps defy all logic. There passing game is
efficient, but not consistent. The running game is mediocre and
can't control games, the defense gives up drive and yards in
bunches, and then there are the turnovers. Lots and lots of
turnovers giving away 23 on the year with seven over the final two
Purdue is all about throwing the ball, mostly to try to keep pace in
games the defense isn't effective. The offensive line has been solid
all season long, mostly in pass protection, while the receiving
corps has enough weapons to keep the Terp defenders busy for a full
sixty minutes. Fine, the defense has had its moments against the
average offenses and it's an aggressive group that can get into the
backfield, but for the most part, it's been awful.
These might not be the most perfect teams around, but one will
finish the year with its ninth win and on the upswing going into
2007. This is one of the most unpredictable bowl games of the year,
and with the way Purdue plays in the post-season, with its last
seven among the most entertaining in each bowl season, this could be
more fun than it'll get credit for.
Players to watch: Purdue will likely try to win with the
running game, but the offense revolves around QB Curtis Painter.
Originally inserted in the lineup last year for Brandon Kirsch
because he was better at making the pitch in the option, Painter
grew into a mad bomber this year with 200 passing yards or more in
every game but two and with three 400-yard days. He wasn't used all
that often as a runner this year, but he's likely to run a bit more
option on the Terps. At the very least, he'll take off more rather
than force his throws.
While Maryland QB Sam Hollenbach will certainly get his
throws in, Keon Lattimore and Lance Ball will likely
carry the offense. Lattimore has it all with breakaway speed in a
235-pound frame, but he only has all but disappeared after the first
two games until he tore off 114 yards on 15 carries against Virginia
and finished the year as the workhorse against Wake Forest with 119
yards on 23 carries. Ball is a bit more of a shifty, dependable back
who's more likely to pound away than break off the big run.
The Terp backs should be able to do whatever they want against the
squishy-soft Purdue defensive tackles, but they'll be sure to run
away from senior Anthony Spencer on the outside. One of the
Big Ten's most productive defensive players with 10.5 sacks, even
though he's not a pure pass rusher, 86 tackles, and 26.5 tackles for
loss. He'll require the attention of two blockers on every play.
Maryland's defense will need a phenomenal game out of corner Josh
Wilson, who'll likely lock up on Purdue's Dorien Bryant
whenever possible. With great speed and excellent tackling ability
for his size, Wilson is the one player Painter needs to look for
before every snap. Expect the rest of the Terp secondary to be
tested early and often.
Maryland will win if...
it controls the clock with the
running game, limits the turnovers, and at all costs, avoids a
firefight. Even against Purdue's porous defense, Maryland likely
won't be able to score in bunches. More often than not, the
Boilermakers were stingy against the lousy offenses giving up just
ten to Northwestern, 12 to Penn State and 19 to Indiana; Maryland's
offense is lousy. Ball and Lattimore have to be effective pounding
the ball and keeping the chains moving to keep the Purdue offense
off the field. Unfortunately, Purdue is great at converting on third
downs while Maryland only converts 34.8% of its chances. If the
Terps don't run for 200 yards and don't hold on to the ball for more
than 33 minutes (they're 92nd in the nation in time of possession
while Purdue is 107th), they likely won't win.
Purdue will win if... it wins the turnover battle.
Purdue has the far better offense and should be able to, as
simplistic as this might sound, outscore the Terps if everything is
even. If the offense starts giving the ball away and provides
Maryland with short fields and several easy opportunities, there
will be trouble. Hollenbach and the offense is good at capitalizing
on errors, and Purdue lost ten fumbles over the final three games
and turned it over 29 times on the year.
What will happen: The aggressiveness of the Purdue defense
will make up for most of the problems, while the offense will be too
balanced and too potent for the Terps. Maryland will pound the ball
for at least 250 running yards and will crank out several big
drives, but not enough of them will turn into scores. It'll be a
tight game until Painter and Bryant start to get into a second half
groove putting the game out of reach, while Spencer and the Purdue
defensive front will do a great job of consistently getting to
Hollenbach to thwart a comeback.
Line: Maryland -3 ... CFN Prediction:
Purdue 31 ... Maryland 27

Detroit's Home County Downgraded by S&P to Two Steps Above Junk
May 14 (Bloomberg) -- Michigan's Wayne County, home of Detroit, had its credit rating cut to two steps above junk by Standard & Poor's because of declining property values and a negative general-fund balance.
The downgrade to BBB reflects "financial deterioration caused primarily by a prolonged structural imbalance," an S&P analyst, Jane Ridley, said in the report.
Cities located within Wayne County include Detroit and Allen Park, which are among Michigan municipalities under state-appointed emergency financial managers. Flint, Benton Harbor and Pontiac also have such managers, according to the state treasurer's website. Hamtramck, also within the county, is under review for an overseer.
With 707,000 residents across an area larger than Boston, San Francisco and Manhattan combined, Detroit has eight people per acre, down from 21 in 1950, and 65,000 vacant homes, many slated for demolition.
Detroit Mayor Dave Bing said today that he won't run for a second term, though he would form an exploratory committee for a possible campaign to become executive of Wayne County. Kevyn Orr was appointed emergency manager of Michigan's most-populous city in March by Republican Governor Rick Snyder.

One blue dragon, a challenge and a one week deadline are enough to make an anxious prince sweep sexy women off their feet or he might lose everything…
Scott is a prince who is used to having everything and getting everything that he wants, until his fairy godmother arrives with a challenge of a lifetime. He has one week to find the woman who he is destined to be with, otherwise he will lose his crown and everything that he has ever taken for granted.
Justine is his trusted friend and confidant, and quite frankly is sick of it! She wants Scott to see her for oh so much more than that. But will Scott realise before it's too late just what kind of magic could sizzle between them?
This book was previously published under under a different title. It has been extensively revised, expanded and re-edited for release with Total-e-bound
She wouldn't have to fake it with Scott. If he'd take her to bed.
With his cock deep inside her, an orgasm would be a delicious, mind-blowing experience. Was he even aware of her need for him as he sat on the floor, his legs crossed Indian style, talking to her about an absurd topic like godmothers?
Scott, the heir apparent to the Vandarian throne, overwhelmed her bachelor flat with his intimidating presence. Her room was almost larger than the small principality that few had heard of but meant everything to him. He'd dropped in an hour earlier to visit but his countenance was melancholy, an unusual state of affairs for the normally cheerful prince.
"So what do you think? Is there such a person as a godmother?" he asked, tilting his handsome face upwards to look into her eyes.
Justine couldn't help herself. She spiralled forward into those inquisitive blue eyes, the colour of a shimmering sapphire. Her breath caught. If only he would see her as he saw his other fly-by-night women, attractive, desirable, a female who would do anything for one hot, hot night in bed with him. She'd strip naked for him, spread her legs wide apart so he could feast his eyes on her weeping pussy. Her nipples puckered into tight buds just thinking about the ways she could lure Scott into her fantasy sex world.
"Want a beer?" she asked in an attempt to break the tenacity of her lurid thoughts.
Quickly, she rose and headed for the fridge where she would be alone for a second or two. How could he ignore her blatantly aroused behaviour? What would nudge him into noticing her as a female, hot and ready for her prince?
She handed him the beer. As her fingers brushed his, sparks flashed. "Did you feel that?" she asked, hoping he had not only felt the sparks but had seen them arcing from their hands like brilliant garnets and translucent diamonds.
"Felt what?" he asked absently.
"Never mind." If Scott hadn't experienced the arcing himself, there was no point in explaining the phenomenon. She'd return to admiring his fantastic physique. The man was drop dead gorgeous. All the time he spent in the gym had paid off too. A white golf shirt encased his broad chest but the sleeves couldn't hide the rippling muscles of his biceps. Neither could his dark jeans hide the massive size of his cock. Justine sucked in a breath. Heat seared her cheeks, forcing her to rub them with her palms. She sighed. He was so overpoweringly sexy.
"Justine? Justine?" she heard him call her name from far, far away. She ran her tongue over her lower lip and sighed again. She had to snap out of her mooning after him. "Yes?" she said, wondering what he'd been discussing so intently. If only she weren't so damned attracted to him, maybe she could get on with her life instead of waiting for him to make a move.
"You're usually right with me, word for word." Scott's eyes shone with humour. "Penny for your thoughts?"
You had me with 'usually right with me'. Under your strong, muscled body. Justine cleared her throat. "I was thinking about the girl you're going to marry," she blurted. Her cheeks flamed hotter. What business of hers was it who he married? If he wanted her, Justine, wouldn't he have said or done something? Scott was such a forward man. He left nothing to chance, even when he inched up the face of a sheer mountainside, just for the sheer thrill.
His thick eyebrows squirreled together. "What does that have to do with godmothers?"
Flustered, she waved a hand in the air. "I don't know." Should she dare admit the truth to him? That she was in love with him? Had been for the last five years since she first set eyes on him that fateful day in University?
"Are you coming down with a cold or something?" Effortlessly, he rose and sat beside her, wrapping his muscled arms around her waist. Definitely not a lover's hold.
"I think I might be." She felt protected and safe in his embrace, as if she belonged. Why couldn't he see how they fit together so perfectly even if she wasn't of noble blood?
He nuzzled her forehead with his chin, his shadow beard scraping against her tender skin. Justine thought of how those tiny, sharp hairs would feel against the inside of her thighs as his warm lips travelled towards her demanding pussy.<block quote="">

My favorite lead ever
posted 6 years ago
I love these leads!!!! I have gone thru so many of the cotton leads that always ended up coming "undone" at the snap end but have never had the cowboy lead do that in four years of use.
They are longer than the standard nylon leads and are just an awesome product. They are absolutely the only leads I have been buying for four years now and short of losing one on occasion I still have every one. They also aren't as apt to give rope burn as the cheap nyoln leads if they get Great value!!!
Pros: wonderful and durable
Cons: none

NBA: Clippers top Jazz 107-96 for 17th straight win
Published on Dec 31, 2012 6:04 PM
LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - The Los Angeles Clippers extended their franchise-best winning streak to 17 games with a 107-96 win over the Utah Jazz on Sunday.
The Clippers, who mounted a 19-point, second-half comeback to beat the Jazz by two points on Friday, increased the National Basketball Association's longest winning stretch since Boston had 19 consecutive victories in 2008.
Caron Butler made all six of his three-pointer attempts in his 29 points and reserve Jamal Crawford scored 11 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter to keep the momentum going for the league's top team.
The visiting Jazz trailed by nine at halftime before a 12-2 run late in the third gave them a brief 76-75 lead. Utah again pulled within two in the fourth before Crawford took over.

Home / Graduates / Certificate Program /
MEMS Certificate Application Form
Any student with a bachelor's degree who has been admitted to, or is currently enrolled in, a graduate program at the University is eligible to apply for a Graduate Certificate in MEMS. Applicants should have at least an A- average in their graduate course work or (for entering students) in their undergraduate course work and are expected to have reading knowledge of two foreign languages.
Admissions take place throughout the year, and the application process has two steps. First, application is made to the MEMS program. Applications are reviewed by the MEMS Executive Committee on an ongoing basis. Second, once applicants have received a letter of acceptance from the program, they should go to the Rackham website and complete the paperwork for the Dual Degree application. (This will entail getting signatures from the chair of their home department and from the MEMS director.)
Students must submit the following to the MEMS program:
- A letter outlining his or her reasons for wanting to receive MEMS certification and explaining the rationale of the proposed course of study. The letter should also explain the student's background in Medieval and/or Early Modern Studies.
- A current transcript demonstrating at least an A- average and language facility.
- A letter of approval from the Director of Graduate Studies in the student's home department.
- Specific Course Requirements: MEMS is a 15-credit program; up to 9 of the 15 credit hours may include coursework required for the student's graduate or professional degree. Students will produce a 20-page term paper for the required proseminar; reading for the course will be around 150 pages per week.
Certificate students will be advised by the MEMS director, in consultation with a MEMS faculty associate in the student's home unit. Students are encouraged to meet with the director at least once per term to assess progress towards the certificate.

|Developing an understanding of cultural aspects and beliefs of Latino/a families experiencing the American educational system
|Sweeden, Renée Leelnorearl Presley, 1970-
|University of Missouri--Kansas City
|The purpose of this qualitative study was three fold: (a) to understand the cultural context from where our Latino/a learners come from, (b) to explore how Latino/a families' perspectives of the American educational system influence their children's learning, and (c) to explore progressive, educational strategies and pedagogies which will empower educators to transform the education of our Latino/a students. This study was formulated by insights and questions developed from my personal and professional experience as a White educator and learner and as a mother of three bilingual/bicultural children of Latino/a descent. A heavy emphasis was placed on critical pedagogy and the sociocultural realities that impact the Latino/a learner and their education within the American educational system. How do educators begin to develop an understanding of cultural aspects and beliefs of Latino/a families experiencing the American educational system? I explored this question by interviewing and observing Latino/a families in North Central California. My sampling group consisted of a small group of Latino/a parents whose children attended an American elementary public school, whose first language was Spanish, and who where of Latino/a descent. I used four methods to collect data: a) five observations of a parent group, b) two small group parent interviews, c) one small group children interview, and d) my own personal experience as an educator and my experience with my own Latino/a children. The final analysis consisted of comparing the families' sociocultural experiences, educational experiences, cultural patterns, and the hopes and dreams they have for their children. Through this analysis the findings showed that Latino/a families are highly concerned about their children's education and have faced many challenges to provide their children with an American education. Through the voices of the families in this study you will hear that they want their children to have a good education, to have good jobs, and to be successful in life.

text: A Slidell-area woman and her dog are recovering from a pit bull attack. The attacking dogs are both dead, one of them shot and killed by a neighbor, the other put to sleep. St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's officials say the attack happened Wednesday morning. "The victim was walking her dog, a miniature collie, on the walking trail near Hunters Point Road, when two pit bulls approached her and began attacking her dog," reads a news release from the sheriff's office. "When she attempted to stop them, they turned on her." The woman began screaming and a neighbor heard the commotion. According to the sheriff's office, the neighbor grabbed his 9mm pistol and went to investigate. Upon seeing the dog attack, he fired and hit both dogs. One dog died at the scene. The injured animal ran back to its home. Listen to Capt. George Bonnett: "Deputies were able to determine who the owner of the pit bulls was," said Capt. George Bonnett with the sheriff's office. "He was cited with a summons for a leash-law violation." Bonnett says the owner of the pit bulls appeared very upset that his dogs were responsible for the attack, and decided to have the injured pit bull destroyed. The woman and her miniature collie are expected to make a full recovery. As for the neighbor who shot the dogs, Bonnett said he will face no charges. "He did what he thought he needed to do to potentially save this woman's life," Bonnett said.

Prosecutors seek death penalty in 'Cathouse' case
Tuesday - 2/19/2013, 8:30pm EST
Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Oklahoma prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for a 34-year-old man accused of killing four people, including a prostitute featured on HBO's "Cathouse" series.
Prosecutors filed paperwork Tuesday saying they plan to seek the death penalty for Denny Edward Phillips.
Phillips faces six counts of murder because two of the victims were pregnant when they were killed. One of those victims, 22-year-old Brooke Phillips, had worked for a legal Nevada brothel featured on HBO.
She was not related to Denny Phillips, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Another man, David Allen Tyner, pleaded guilty to six counts of first-degree murder in the case last year and was sentenced to life in prison in a plea agreement to avoid a possible death sentence.

A lot of people who post on this site will be making tennis 100% of their lives. Most or all of them will fail to make any impact, and will insult players like Philippoussis. Philippoussis made tennis only partially important in his life, yet had a lot of fun - plus a few tennis highlights like playing Federer in a Wimbledon final and winning a few titles.
I know who I'd rather be.
Anyway the guy was injured and had some bad luck too. Wasn't he even in a wheelchair for a while?
Finally, someone who actually understands Philippoussis. Tennis has never been no.1 in Mark's priorities so it's easy to bag him out for it and call him a loser ect... He's always been more focussed on friends, family, parties, girlfriends and I don't see anything wrong with that.
No matter what profession any of us are in - some ppl give 100% effort and time to their work, and others just do what they have to, to get by and are satisfied. To say he's talentless is ridiculous - you don't make 22 finals with no talent.
His lack achievements are not due to lack of talent... rather a combination of off-court fun (partying, wakeboarding, snowboarding, sky diving, surfing,) some bad coaching mistakes, and **** luck with injuries at crucial times (eg. 3 knee ops before age 24).

FabricGuru Tip
It only takes 3/4 of a yard of 54" upholstery fabric to re-cover two standard chair bottoms! So 2.25 yards of upholstery fabric will do 6 chair bottoms. The 3/4 yard cut gives you two 27" x 27" pieces of fabric to work with. If the patten of the fabric is large and has to be centered it can take a little more. When selecting your fabric remember woven upholstery fabric is more durable and printed drapery fabric can be used for light duty applications.

The following recommendations are based on the knowledge review conducted by Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) on the effectiveness of childminding registration and its implications for private fostering. The review is part of a wider SCIE work programme that has been commissioned by the Department of Health (DH), England and National Assembly for Wales (NAW) to examine effective services for children and families. Position paper published in January 2003.
A range of elearning resources developed by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) to assist employers in meeting the expectations of the workforce development and registration agendas for the social services sector. Some are focused on supporting the individual employee to plan and progress their own learning and development, and others are intended for employers to support them in developing the workforce they need now, or may need in the future.
Documents listing the SSSCs rules and procedures governing professional conduct.
This Act of Scottish Parliament establishes a new independent body to regulate care services in Scotland to be known as the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care ('The Commission'). It also establishes a system of care regulation, encompassing the registration and inspection of care services against a set of national care standards and the taking of any enforcement action; a new independent body, to be known as the Scottish Social Services Council ('The Council') to regulate social service workers and to promote and regulate their education and training.
Document stating the provisions of the Adoption and Children (Scotland) Act 2007.
Consultation paper on a proposal to set final dates for achievement of registration with the SSSC for social workers and social service workers through the introduction of the Regulation of Care (Fitness to Employees for Employment in Care Services) (Scotland) Regulations 2008.
Leaflet giving information and advice on how and when applicants or those already registered to provide childcare can appeal against any decision which affects registration.
This Practical Guidance provides a breakdown of the statutory requirements, rights and duties of child care organisations set out by the Protection of Children Act 1999.
This Act is the first step towards the establishment of a framework of a coherent cross-sector scheme for identifying those people considered to be unsuitable to work with children through the Protection of Children Act List. The legislation is intended to ensure that when such people have been identified, they are prevented from gaining access to children through their work.
This paper sets out the government's proposals for improving the quality of social work services provided, offering better safeguards for those being cared for and strengthening professional standards. Two key proposals of this document: Creation of a new body - the Scottish Social Services Council - which will register the workforce, put in place a code of conduct and standards to support them, raise professional and training standards, and so raise service standards.
Leaflet giving information and advice on how and when applicants or those already registered as childcare providers can object to any actions which affect registration.

I'll be on my way down to Rawhyde Adventures and will get off the ferry in Pt. Angeles about noon on the 18th, it'd take me about 4 hours from there to Portland for an overnight stop. So, if you're up for another meeting by then it would be great to meet some of the guys I read about here, it'll help me judge what I read is true and what isn't!!!!!
If it's a strong possible go then maybe you could give me an idea of motels that are in close proximity to the place (ie; crawling distance)
Thanks I'll check back later.
Shewbert, where are ya....................eh?

I meant to add that is one sweet costume he has going there. Seems a bit familiar in a way but I cannot put my finger on it.
I decided to pick up some comics for the first time in probably 9 years. Went with some Captain America. and The Mighty Thor. I'm not sure how I like Bucky being Cap
I recently submitted a few ideas into a new comic company called Storyboom. They're pretty interactive and allow fans to choose which stories and series will be created and published. I need 500 votes to get it published so if anyone can take a few seconds out of their day and check it out I'd greatly appreciate it.
The first one is called The Hammer which is about a drug addict who discovers he has super powers. He has to battle addiction along with crime.
The second is a horror series called Blood Hunter which is about a man who lost his wife to a vampire attack. He's out for revenge on them now.
You just go to the right side where it says Be A Part of this story and it'll take a few seconds. Thanks!
A month ago a 4 piece issue came out called "Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe." That's right Deadpool kills everyone of them....Captain America, Spiderman, Hulk, Doctor Doom, Venom, the X-Men, Fantastic Four all in such ingenious ways too since he knows all their weaknesses. Great read for die hard comic book fans.
The iPad is one of the best things for reading comics. I hadn't read any in years, but I've put the DC and Marvel apps on my iPad and they have some really good deals on there. A lot of older issues for cheap or in some cases free and some of the new ones are being released same day as print.
Been reading the Walking Dead lately. First real comic reading in a long time. I love it. Started with the graphic novels and jumped to the monthly once I caught up.

Publisher's Description
In this ground-breaking book, pastoral counselor Andrew Lester demonstrates that pastoral theology (as well as social and behavioral sciences) has neglected to address effectively the predominant cause of human suffering: a lack of hope, a sense of futurelessness. Lester not only looks at the reasons why addressing the ideas of hope and despair has been overlooked by pastoral theology and other social and behavioral sciences. He also offers a starting point for the development of addressing these important dimensions of human life. He provides clinical theories and methods for pastoral assessment of and intervention with those who despair. He also puts forth strategies for assessing the future stories of those who despair and offers a corrective to these stories through deconstruction, reframing, and reconstruction.

Restaurante Casa Valentina: Wonderful Outdoor Patio!
Go to this restaurant for the wonderful outdoor tables surrounded by pretty plants and next to historic buildings. The restaurant itself is in a 1896 house built by Moab pioneers. The view on the canyon on the other side of the valley is appeasing.
The food is quite standard Mexican, and it is cheap. Our waitress was very nice. They offered us a free dessert of Mexican pastries that was delicious.

Miguel's Baja Grill: Excellent family Mexican!
This little restaurant is so adorable with its elongate room open to the outside and decorated with bright colors. Moreover, the food is excellent and the owners so nice and enthusiastic about their business, doing everything to please their customers. A Mexican feast! A restaurant not to be missed in Moab!
Favorite Dish: The fajitas were fantastic! The margaritas were excellent too.

Jailhouse Cafe: Get greasy bacon & eggs before riding your bicycle
This nice little restaurant is set in the historic jail of Moab and offers good American (eggs+bacon+potatoes and many variations) breakfasts starting at 7 am until 12. A great way to start the day if you are sure to loose the pounds hiking or biking the trails around Moab!

Sunset Grill: We were not good enough for them
See update below!
This restaurant seems to be popular as each time we tried to get in there were a lot of people waiting. They do not take reservation except for groups of 6 or more. The location is overlooking Moab with an amazing view on the whole valley (photo). You go to this restaurant for the view.
Anyway, we get there for a second attempt, a Monday night at 6 pm (early, and it's Monday, so we had hope to get in). The hostess is quite cold in greeting us. While she leads us to our table, we notice in the main room that there is a table free with an amazing view right up at the window. She leads us to another room where all the tables with views were taken and we could not see any of it. Without counting that the atmosphere in that room ressembled that of a senior home. So we ask if we could get a table with a view, right next to the window. After a while, they tell us all they have is a table in a room in the sun where it is very hot, or on the terrace which is in the sun as well. So we point out that table we saw when we came in. They say that they want to put 6 people there, not just 2. Note that they never say that particular table is reserved. We explain again: we are here for view, we are problably going to spend $150 at their restaurant with wine, and we think we deserve that particular table, the only one left with a view and not in the sun. And we emphasize that that particular table is the same size as the one nearby where only couples are seated. No way, they did not want to give us the only good table they had left. Me and my husband were not good enough for them. We left. And yes, the table we wanted was still empty of people.
Favorite Dish: Did not get to taste anything as we did not get the table we wanted.
UPDATE! The owner of the Sunset grill contacted us recently (April 2006) after reading my negative review above. His email was really nice, he excused himself, said that this should not have had happened, and that the situation would be rectified. He even offered to give us a free diner next time we go to Moab! So, I am holding off my judgement on that restaurant. It was all the fault of the incompetence of one hostess. I look forward giving it another try next time we go to Moab!
Eddie McStiff's: Great beer and hamburgers
Excellent beer! Yes, the local Moab beer is really good. Yes, i know it is Utah, and the Mormons tried for a long time to lower the alcohol content, but these days are over, and to prove it, try the Moab Stout, one of the best beer I have ever had.
Excellent burgers in this nice pub, good atmosphere, very nice staff. They also have pizzas, steaks and seafood.

Red Rock Bakery and Internet Cafe: Little Bakery...BIG Flavor
We found that Sunday morning, many places were not open for business, and thus we ended up at the Red Rock Bakery on Main Street. Once you opened the door and walked in, you were greeted with the warmest, most delicious smells. We ordered a brown bag lunch, made on homemade bread and even grabbed a couple of cookies (fresh baked of course)...one pumpkin chocolate chip, the other macademia raisin.
Wanna sit and eat with a hot cup of coffee and check your V-mail? No problem...Red Rock is also an internet cafe.
Favorite Dish: The cookies were fabulous and the sandwhiches were dlightful.

Slickrock Cafe: Best Food in Moab
Great restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There's a patio bar for kicking back after a hard day climbing, biking, hiking, or rafting. Internet Cafe. Very laid back, very friendly staff. Everybody has a story to tell. Named after the Slickrock critter......fictitious animal dog/lizard, thing. You have to go there to know what I'm talking about!! The food is kind of American, mexican, southwest......burgers, pasta, chicken, salads, wraps, burritos, etc.
Favorite Dish: Buckwheat pancakes....never had them before and haven't had them since. They were delicious!!

Desert Bistro: Wonderful Fine Dining - Great Wine
This is a great restaurant at which to have dinner if you feel like getting a little dressed up. It's a wonderful place to spend the evening...enjoying good food, good wine and a very cozy environment. The restaurants is set in a charming home with dark wooden floors and is comprised of a few small rooms for dining. The wall are white and sage color and decorated with tasteful Native American artwork. The dinning tables are set with white table cloths and birch-colored wooden chairs - simplistic and elegant. The service is very good and the food was excellent. Enjoy!
Update: I recently visited Moab again (August 2008) and decided to return to the Desert Bistro. My experience the second time around was fantastic. It even supassed my first dining experience there. There menu changes seasonally, so I had the chance to try a few new dishes. I 100% recommend this restaurants. The food is delicate and a pure joy to all senses. The service is refined and attentive.
Favorite Dish: Here are samples from their menu. Delicious!

Branding Iron Steakhouse: Rollin', rollin' rollin'
Branding Iron Steakhouse, on the corner of Route 191 and Spanish Trail Road serves a really mean steak.
We were in Moab, Utah for a Land Rover Rally, and after having run the trails all day,w as looking for a really good steak. Close to where we were staying, the Branding Iron is a sure bet.
Pretty non-descript as far as decoration. Certainly a Western-style steakhouse atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and the food prepared perfectly to order.
Favorite Dish: Try their Super Burger, or sample one of Utah's local wines.

Miguel's Baja Grill: Fantastic, Fresh Mexican Cuisine
On Main Street in downtown Moab, this charming little restaurant may be overlooked. Take another glance...and sit a spell.
I've found in my travels that often times, the smallest packages offer the largest tastes! Miguel's is no different. The food is undeniably fresh, and cooked perfectly.
Certainly the best Mexican food we had on our Westward trip.
Favorite Dish: We had to start with one of the Margaritas (with your choice of tequilas). I tried one of my favorites...a chicken fajita (marvelous). My husband had a seafood burrito that was practically the size of a football!
Highly recommended. Open at 5:00 pm everyday for dinner.

The Blu Pig: Brews, Blues and BBQ
The nice plus about hiking trips is burning tons of calories and getting to eat anything I want to. We hit the Blu Pig mighty hungry after a long day at Arches and left feeling like well-stuffed hogs. BBQ is one of those cuisines that you just can't make to please everyone; people like what they like as far as spices and sweetness, wet or dry, etc. so if it ain't like home, it just ain't right, you know? So you have to have an open mind when braving the brisket in the Great Unknown.
If you aren't a carnivore, stop reading - this is not the place for you. They do their own smoking and the menu runs the gamut of chicken to ribs to catfish. We both ordered up pulled-pork sammies - huge, on soft, toasted asiago buns topped with slaw - and sweet 'tater fries. The pork comes dry and we had fun trying out the three sauces on the table. Neither of us could finish the buggers but we'd seen this applewood-roasted pecan pie on the menu and had to give THAT a shot. OMG. Folks, save room...
All-in-all, nice place with a good selection of bottled beer served up with frosty glasses, outdoor patio, and blues on the sound system: what's not to like? We ate early so service was quick, friendly and attentive - can't answer for what it's like on a busy night. They also have a menu for little buckaroos, and you can get your order to go. Open at 4:00 Mon - Sat, 11:00 on Sunday.

Moab Brewery: Tasty pub and grub
It was good in 2004 so we came back in 2011 and 2014. This is the only microbrewery in the area and a good place to refuel and rehydrate post-hike, float, bike or climb. The menu runs to standards like salads, sandwiches, burgers and a few entrees, and the craft brew list from ales to stout. We landed in here twice: the first night for salads, and the second for the ribs we recalled as yummy 7 years earlier. Nope, they hadn't lost the touch. The Husband's gazpacho plate of greens with blackened tilapia and jalapeño cornbread, and my almond chicken with soy ginger vinaigrette were both winners, and the pork ribs with Jack Daniel's sauce were bone-suckin' wonderful. Beer? What's not to like.
Service all three times was cheerful and prompt - although it can be a busy place during the dinner hour. Vegetarian options are available for non-carnivores, and there's a kid's menu for small fry. Stop into the small retail store for picking up pint glasses, t-shirts or a growler-to-go for your campsite, or the gelato freezer up front for a cone. Open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week: come in your cargos and boots.
The head-banging music on the website's home page is a bit much but you can hit the mute button. :)
Favorite Dish: Ribs. Yummy.

Moab's Daily Grind: WAKE UP!!!
Just on the outskirts of downtown Moab, Moab's Daily Grind offers fresh ground and brewed coffees of all sorts.
Along Route 191, Moab's Daily Grind sits just back from the parking lot. There is a window int he front to place your order, and a drive through window along the back of the building.
I tried the caramel mocha, my husband, of course, black. Both very satisfactory. Also had to indulge in chocolate covered espresso beans. Caffiene jolts do not get any sweeter than this!

The knave of hearts: it's all homemade!
it's a cute little place, very cozy! they have all variety of baked stuff (people get up at 5am to bake everything).
Favorite Dish: I loved the bakery and their homemade healthy muffins.All of us were happy!?! hehehe..and everything is very cheap
The Blu Pig: Nice BBQ
This is a nice restaurant located on the main street in the south part of Moab. It has outdoor seating. The interior is very dark and has a large table for a group with blue lights that light everything. Normal lights are over the booth tables.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Also easy to find and get their attention.
I ordered the Big and Nasty appetizer and the Baby Back ribs. The ribs were way over cooked. However, the sides it came with were amazing. Perfectly cooked sweet potato and rice and beans specially done with some hot peppers. You do have many other sides to choose from, the dinner comes with two sides and corn bread muffin.
Favorite Dish: The Big and Nasty appetizer was excellent. It is a large plate of french fries, smothered in pulled pork, beans and cheese. Out of this world.
Would definitely go back just for this and the sides. Try something besides the baby back ribs.

Style of choice
Hey, kinda new here, got a few posts in, blah nerrr blah..
I'm just wondering if anyone would care to help me with a little prob.
When i draw, i sometimes use shapes to help but it gets hard to use them on certain pics, andi get confused and pissed, so, i've seen alot of concept artists like Tj frame, draw the outline first and i'd say its help alot until a certian point, its hard to get details in after sometimes, so im asking if anyone can help me out on wat other styles there may be or how i can improve with my current ones.
Also I live in england, kent rainham, and i was wonderin if anyone lives round there and is in or lookin for a artist group, (prefer concept artists and not them boring guys who go to tate modern) since i really need to study and i really need to get outta my house, make some friends who actually draw... so..ya

Hi BNB.
Theres a meeting this Sunday up in Islington (up town). theres a whole group of UK concept artists (about 10 so far) and mainly in London. I'm in South-East London and know the area where you live.
If that doesnt work then come into the lunge section and at the top go to the ConceprtArt.org local groups, go into the UK one and hey presto.
BTW, if you want cheap (free) tickets into town get on the train in Rochester, been told by a few people its pretty lax there conerning guards etc... might help lol.
I could bullsh*t some stuff about the style but ill confuse myself so i wont
Cockney boy, but south of the river!
July 28th, 2004 #3
Yea thats great, been into the uk meeting part, alot of them seem to like going to tate modern, i'm really not up for it, if they like seeing things like a guy in boxing gloves havin a jerk off, and then call it art, i think i'll stick here, and yet again, i'm only 16 and i really hate london or all big citys, let alone urban.
So, i'll think about it, but i'll prob past..ya know, but if ya know anyone around my way into art and stuff, let me know please

Japan's new CO2 goal dismays U.N. climate conference
TOKYO/WARSAW (Reuters) – China, the EU and environmentalists criticised Japan at U.N. climate talks on Friday for slashing its greenhouse gas emissions target after its nuclear power industry was shuttered by the Fukushima disaster.
The Japanese government on Friday decided to target a 3.8 percent emissions cut by 2020 versus 2005 levels. That amounts to a 3 percent rise from a U.N. benchmark year of 1990 and the reversal of the previous target of a 25 percent reduction.

TOKYO (Reuters) – Caroline Kennedy, daughter of slain U.S. President John F. Kennedy, arrived in Japan on Friday to take up her first high profile job in public office, making a late start to a political career for which her family is renowned.
Kennedy, sworn in as U.S. ambassador two days ago, received a warm welcome at Tokyo's Narita Airport, smiling and waving at reporters, and carrying a bouquet of flowers.
Japan draws fire by drastically slashing commitment to greenhouse gas curbs
TOKYO/WARSAW (Reuters) – Japan drastically weakened its greenhouse-gas reduction target on Friday, bowing to the impact of a shuttered nuclear power industry but drawing international criticism at U.N. climate change talks.
The government decided to target a 3.8 percent cut in CO2 emissions by 2020 versus 2005 levels. That amounts to a 3 percent rise from 1990 levels – a sharp reversal of the previous target of a 25 percent reduction, the benchmark level for climate talks.
Japan lawmaker reprimanded after emperor letter hits nerve
TOKYO (Reuters) – A Japanese lawmaker was reprimanded on Friday for breaking a taboo by trying to involve Emperor Akihito in politics when he handed him a letter expressing concern about the health impact of the Fukushima nuclear crisis.
A furor erupted after Taro Yamamoto gave Akihito the handwritten missive at a garden party last week, the first such bid in more than a century to draw the emperor's attention.
Japan rejects Chinese protests over sea drills, denies interference
TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan on Friday denied interfering with Chinese military exercises in the western Pacific after Beijing lodged a formal diplomatic protest, saying China's objections were unacceptable and it had acted in line with international law.
Ties between the Asian neighbors have been strained for months by a long and bitter dispute over islands in the East China Sea believed to be surrounded by energy-rich waters, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has said his nation is ready to be more assertive towards China.
China outraged as Japanese lawmakers visit shrine to war dead
TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan's internal affairs minister and more than 100 other lawmakers visited the Yasukuni Shrine for war dead on Friday and China responded by accusing Japan of undermining ties and trying to overturn the post-World War Two order.
The visits, marking an autumn festival, came a day after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made his third ritual offering to the shrine since returning to office last year, though he did not visit it in person.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Jaime Garcia allowed one unearned run over 7 1/3 innings as the St. Louis Cardinals downed the New York Mets, 5-1, in the middle test of a three-game set at Busch Stadium.
Garcia (4-6) gave up nine hits and struck out five without issuing a walk to pick up his first win since May 16.
David Freese and Daniel Descalso both tallied two hits and drove in one run apiece for the Cardinals, who have won three of their last four.
Matt Harvey (3-4) gave up three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four to absorb the loss. The rookie lasted just five innings.
David Wright, Ruben Tejada and Scott Hairston each picked up a pair of hits and Mike Baxter drove in the lone run for the Mets, who fell for just the third time in 10 games.

Healthy 4C Natural Hair: Detangle, Baggy & Co-Wash
What do you think about this video?
Sha'Terica Turner: Can finger detangling be used in place of combing? I'm wanting to wear my
loose natural hair but I'm not into protective styling especially with
weave or wigs. I do like twist out and braid outs etc.
2011Ohmygoodness: And I know I'm on the right track too because I had that same idea about leaving the braid in while I rinse and gently squeezing it while I let the water run over it. Thanks again for showing me your way.
rachel witcher: Hey! is it possible you ahve not done any hair videos in a while? if so would love to see an update thanks!
Sharon Taylor: I have just recently come across your videos and must say that you are a Godsend. I thought my hair was unhealthy because it didn't have the shine, although I make sure to moisturize and seal my hair.Have you ever used the Wen by Chaz Dean products and if so, would you ever consider doing a review?
Keola Hodge: This helped me a ton I usually detangle with the conditioner (unbraided) using finger detangling then sectioned and comb with a wide tool come with little to NO hair out at all. Ill have to try the braided method and see what happens
2011Ohmygoodness: That was great!! Thank you. I got some really good ideas from this for my 4C hair.
WiseLady7: Very helpful and informative video, Sis. Your hair is gorgeous! I love it!
Lemons19902010: Very helpful and informative video!
Nina Serina: Before watching your hair videos I thought my 4c hair was damaged but I see many similarities so I assume your hair is healthy too lol.
Shakia tester: Thanks…. because this 4c head needs all the help i can get
dread head: what is the name of this song?
kia814: i need every help. tip, product i can get this is a monster thank you
Chancy: Love your vids! You are so real! :-)
JenJen Plum: I accidentally disliked this vid sorry
DrMartisha: This video is great, but what if my hair is not this long. My twists arent this long yet...
cheche maat: What's the song playing in the background
Janeal Anderson: So. I know this is random, but I just want to see if I got all this right.. WASHING HAIR: 1. Part hair in sections 2. Spray water + oil mixture into hair. 3. Finger detangle hair. 4. Put in conditioner, working out any more tangles left. (use wide tooth comb hair and comb out hair) 5. Put some chunky twists/ braids in. 6. Steam hair / do some work out to get blood flowing which helps in growing hair 7. "Baggy". Cover hair with shower cap/ plastic bag. Leave for some hours, go about doing your daily routine. 8. To rinse out hair, squeeze down on twists/braids under running water until all the conditioner is out. OR work in conditioner on scalp while rinsing out. 9. Dry hair with a cotton t-shirt to prevent frizzing and breakage. 10. Apply leave- in conditioner put in some bantu knots and allow to air dry. 11. Moisturize hair. (can water and oils be used again ?) 12. style ? *where does deep conditioning come in ?*
Empress Royale: Is it good to co-wash your 4c hair?
Brittaney R: So I see that I'm late getting to this video but man! The advice is great, better than most vids that I have attempted to use as far as styles and proper care. Plus, the music is always on point!
Jouelzy: my style is too plain lol...no one wld watch my ootd...
Jouelzy: thanks love! yeah I tweeted u abt it when I did it. Not nearly as nice as yours. Thanks for supporting.
prettypisces08: Where did you get that wig. Love it.
Jouelzy: girl...I was probably looking a hot mess *tears*
SuchAdoLL1024: i saw you downtown bk ^___^
The Love Chronicles: I'm just finding out about you and look...you did my style at the end! How cool! Subscribing...
naturalesque81tv: I JUST listened to this track!!!
April Williams: So is the water and oil your everyday moisturiser?
Afeisha Harewood.: I love the wear a wig option!!! I would have never thought of it!! You go grl!!!
monidanielle: I've heard before that you could "train" your natural hair. I didn't think it was possible, but I guess it is. I sarted using your co wash routine, and my finger detangling has become soooo much easier over time.
Nibbler800: Great to find a 4C natural woman 'bigging up' 4C hair (Sadly I've seen too many negative comments in the 'community' about this hair type ... and that's sometimes from the wearers themselves. Keep up the great postings please! :-)
Imani Peters: I have thick 4c and at the age of 8 I decided to get locs but now that I have had my hair for almost 10 years now, I've decided that this summer after my high school grad I want to take my locs out & start a whole new look. The reason I got locs was the fact it was a long process of washing then twisting then hot combing my hair then braiding. It took my mother 3 days to complete my hair. Seeing you video has gotten me excited to see that I'm not the only one with this hair but I am a bit nervou
Torrian Timms: Soooooo glad i found this page! this seems like the perfect was to retain length post washing... (my biggest issue... ) You cold wave rods are awesome too! ur a saint. and I love ur style!!
msblow09: Never tired washing my hair in twist thanks for the tip
Syreeta King: Very...Pretty!
slimmmboogie: Your hair is bombbb. I have been natural twice. First time 5 months til i got a relaxer & i was considering getting a relaxer again. I have been natural for 10 months now & this video was soooo informative. I have 4c hair and it has always been dry. I'll give this a try though. I really wanna stay natural now if I can just find the patience! It's so versatile. Thanks for the video babe.
juanicole617: wait wait wait...did you say train your hair? I can train my hair not to tangle as much?
SimsVideoWatcher1: so happy I found this video...i'm going to give this method a try.
ashia ackov: Gorgeous!
danielleloveslou624: Thanks for this vid!
Destiny Washington: Has anyone told you, you look like Jurnee Smollete...gorgeous
MrsJizzah1: Ok! I'm a Subbie!!!!! Now....going through all of your videos! BTW your makeup is beautiful in this video!!
Jasmine Royal: Thanks for this!
AlishaCamille: what was the name of that wig??
Ly-Tasha Yahya: I love your hair!
