Oaks Christian's crowning achievement
Last-minute TD, 2-point conversion lift Oaks Christian in thrilling finish
With a chance to tie and extend the dramatics, the Oaks Christian School football team went for history.
"I told coach (Bill Redell), if we score the touchdown, we have to go for two points," said Lions senior wide receiver Blair Holliday. "I knew we could win it right now."
Holliday was true to his word, so today Oaks Christian reigns as champion.
Holliday scored on a 2-point conversion with 44 seconds left and Oaks Christian weathered Westlake High's stab at its own heart-pounding ending to post a 29-28 victory over Westlake in the CIF-Southern Section Northern Division championship game at Oak Christian on Friday night.
Trailing by seven points with 3:28 remaining, Oaks Christian and quarterback Ritchie Harrington drove the Lions 68 yards in 10 plays, the last one a 21-yard scoring pass to Brett Medders in the right corner of the end zone that brought the Lions to within a point of a tie with 44 seconds remaining in regulation.
Instead of booting the extra point, Oaks Christian went for the win.
After a timeout to check the Westlake defense, Holliday lined up in the wildcat formation, took the snap, and powered into the end zone.
"I was supposed to use a jump pass," said Holliday. "But Westlake seemed to sense that was coming, so I took off and ran. It's the greatest feeling ever."
The triumph gives Oaks Christian its seventh section crown in eight seasons, denies close-by neighbor Westlake its second successive championship and completes the Lions' transition into the large-school Northern Division.
Harrington completed 23 of 36 pass attempts for 308 yards and two interceptions. Ishmael Adams rushed 19 times for 64 yards and Medders grabbed eight passes for 75 yards.
Oaks Christian considered itself the underdog against a Westlake team that won the Northern Division title in 2009 and had captured 26 of its last 27 games. But the Lions held a 21-14 lead at halftime, then rallied from a 28-21 deficit in the final quarter.
"In all my years of coaching, I've never been prouder of a team than I am of this one," said Redell.
For Harrington, it was more proof of what perseverance can reap.
He shrugged off a tough second half to lead his team on the prodigious touchdown march in the final period. Not bad for a quarterback who didn't become the starter until Week 4.
"Never in a million years did I expect a season like this," Harrington said.
For Westlake, the disappointment was palpable.
The Warriors took the lead in the fourth period on Tavior Mowry's 1-yard run with 11:57 remaining.
After Holliday's 2-point conversion, Westlake tried for a miracle comeback. Quarterback Nick Isham drove his team from his own 18-yard line to the Oaks Christian 24 with five seconds remaining.
But Alex Ball's attempt at a game-winning 41-yard field goal bounced off the right upright.
"We fought to the end. We fought to the last play. We fought all season," said Westlake coach Jim Benkert.
Numbers alone earmarked this among the most significant championship matchups in county history.
Oaks Christian previously had won six section titles, all consecutively from 2003 to 2008. Westlake had captured three championships, in 1999, 2003 and 2009.
Trailing by seven points, Westlake rang up the tying touchdown with the opening possession of the third period.
Crucial was Isham's 22-yard pass to Nelson Spruce on second-and-12 from the Lions 44. The touchdown was completed on Isham's 8-yard pass to Justin Moore with 8:41 remaining in the third period.
The offenses held sway in the first half, with Oaks Christian holding a 21-14 lead at halftime.
Behind the hot hand of Harrington, Oaks Christian mounted three 80-yard touchdown drives. Included were touchdowns on its first two possessions.
With the opening possession, the Lions used 12 plays to reach the end zone. Harrington went 5 of 5 for 50 yards, while Carlos Mendoza finished it off with a 5-yard touchdown run.
Westlake responded, driving 77 yards in five plays to the tying touchdown.
Mowry set up the score with a 48-yard run. Isham tallied the score with an 11-yard scramble.
After the kickoff sailed out of the end zone, Oaks Christian again set up at its own 20, and again marched to a touchdown.
The key play was Harrington's 51-yard hookup to Mendoza on third-and-six from the 24. The touchdown came on Mendoza's 3-yard run with 1:51 left in the quarter.
The defenses then traded big stops. Westlake got the turnover on Jack Shepherd's interception, and set up on first-and-10 at the Oaks Christian 28.
But Oaks Christian escaped without yielding a point, forcing a 42-yard field-goal attempt that drifted wide.
The offenses weren't finished.
Oaks Christian jumped to a 21-7 lead with a 13-play, 80 drive. The touchdown was scored on Harrington's 1-yard sneak with 2:57 left in the half.
Westlake countermarched 80 yards in six plays.
Isham was 5 of 5 on the drive for 72 yards, including a 37-yard scoring pass to Tre'shon Wilson with 1:06 remaining.

March 3, 2009 - Tampa, Florida - Twenty-nine new buses will join HART's fleet within the next year, the Board of Directors voted at its monthly meeting on Monday. In addition, HART reported that bus ridership for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 has remained strong.
Stimulus Funds Going to Numerous Projects
The federal stimulus package, known formally as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), includes $8.4 billion dedicated to transit projects, the HART Board learned on Monday. HART is expected to receive $15.1 million in ARRA funds.
At Monday's meeting, the Board approved using some of the funds to purchase 29 new 40-foot buses to replace vehicles that have reached their useful lives.
Projects and improvements to be funded by ARRA include:
Purchase of Buses and Paratransit Vans
Bus Stop Accessibility Improvements
Operations & Maintenance Facility Improvements
Streetcar Extension Utility Relocation
Fareboxes - Replacement and Expansion
Fleet Paint Rehab
Technology Improvements
Another $34,000 in Fixed Guideway Modernization Formula Funds (Section 5309) would be used for capital improvements to streetcar stations and tracks.
Ridership Still Strong
Despite falling gas prices, customers continue to board HART buses in steady numbers. Staff reported that fixed route ridership has increased 2.3% in FY 2009. In particular, HART's Commuter Express service continues to exhibit strong growth with ridership 21% above the first four months of FY 2008.
HART fixed route ridership should receive an added boost when service enhancements take effect at the end of March. Twelve off-peak and weekend service enhancements on eight routes will provide an 8.4% increase in weekly service levels. The improvements also include a significant upgrade to service from downtown Tampa to Westshore and Tampa International Airport by increasing weekday frequency on Route 30 serving TIA from 30 minutes to 15 minutes.
HART Mission Statement
Our Team is dedicated to providing excellent customer service while building solutions to support Hillsborough County's needs...now and into the future.

I liked having a show based in the metro area but Steven Seagal was so arrogant and acted like he was the baddest cop ever which got very annoying. He takes his Asian loving culture thing way to far for not even being a decendent from that part of the world. Probably got caught up with how women are treated in thailand and brought that to America.
Everyone has their excuses and this is concerning. The Saints and football season is the most common excuse but still dumb both teams (LSU too) only play once a week and 8 games at home. You can go see the Hornets during the week or on a friday night and get good cheap tickets, the expensive ones are actually selling alright. Go to the freaking games, they are exciting, team is winning and oh we got a guy named Chris Paul so we don't need the heat and Lakers to come to us first.
Trent Johnson is a class act and maybe he can get some of the other SEC coaches to go with him next time. Last season was an obvious dissapointing season for the Tigers but TJ will build a good program, it is just going to take some time.
Monty will be a good coach but he can't help it if Bower and Weber are the ones making the transactions and screwing the roster up. The current F.O. can't stick around another year, when Chouest gets in he has to (and I believe will) take out Bower and possibly Weber and replacing them with people who can build a team that can play in sinc with each other. It is so hard to get a team in place to make it to the Finals, four coaches in the league have won a title (Phil Jackson, Greg Popovich, Doc Rivers and Larry Brown) all of them are great coaches but had top defenses and very well built rosters.
The people who back this decision of Obama placing this moratorium comes becuase their political ideology and not becuase they are so freaking concerned that this will happen again or concerned for the workers safety who are on these rigs. Safety measures have been evaluated on these rigs after the DWH and done by federal officials, it's been 49 days since the rig blew and so why is the Obama administration waiting until now? The current workers on rigs being closed down know that what happened could have been prevented and those running the rigs are going to take every precaution to make sure nothing happens (Responsibity will not be taken lightly). This is the first spill of it's kind since deepwater drilling has gone on in the gulf, shutting them down for six months "to find a safer way of drilling" won't result in fixing the current problems. No relief wells will be built along every rig and installing new BOP sysytems would take massive time which again the current companies of the rigs drilling should not pay for them, maybe make it mandatory for future drillings have a newly installed BOP but the current drillings shouldn't stop now. This will result in a more economic catastrophe and companies that will decide to move out of the Gulf and country, so then we can then rely upon more foriegn oil.
I remember Porter's play in his rookie year playing with the secondary at the time and knew he was going to be a stud corner and I hated it for him after he got injured. This past season I couldn't wait to see him back out there and before the season started I didn't know exactly how good Greer was just but heard good things. The Saints did a good job in getting these two together, obviously neither one disappointed. Even though I think Jabari is the better corner of the two (not by much though), I believe Tracy Porter gets more attention nationally becuase of what he did in the postseason and will get a Pro Bowl nod this upcomming season due to the fans voting. Lets hope for a healthy year and another run towards defending as Super Bowl Champions!
After 9/11, yes planes were grounded all across the USA but comparing that to this situation is comparing apples to oranges. Planes were grounded to ensure no more terrists attacks were going to happen right away, at 9:45amET on 9/11 the FAA halted flights until the early morning of 9/13. This was due to an act of war which Nato considered, making it an international situation. The Deepwater Horizon incident was caused by the irresponsibility by BP which they could have avoided themselves, companies not involved should not have to pay for a mistake not made by them in this situation. It also took Obama about 40 days untill imposing the moratorium after this spill, if you are going to impose this than why not do it within 5 days after the DWH blew up? Each rig that has been shut down so far has already been through a full inspection by the federal goverment and passed those rigs off as being safe. Each rig has every reason to be more responsible now more than ever but now they are shut down and along with putting more than 20,000 out of work those rigs are going move out to places like Brazil and off Africa destroying an asset that controls a huge chunk of LA commerce and making America more dependant on foreign oil.
This is a good hire IMO, the guy has drawn attention to early in his coaching career to be the main guy and it is not by accident. Monty presents himself very well, he will be a players coach but will hold his players accountable plus he can develop players. To me Monty seems to have a better vision of what is ahead while TT is someone who struggles with big dicisions also having emotional and social problems. Now that the hornets have a HC they need to start cleaning up in every other area the franchise has, a restored F.O. and new ownership would be the first places but as time passes the longer the rebuilding will take. I never renewed my season tickets for next year and won't until more changes are made but will consider getting a partial plan anyway becuase I love the hornets and love the NBA all together.
This will be a blessing in disguise IMO that we get Monty and not Thibs. TT is a very confusing person and that isn't coming from me speculating, people close to him say he can never make up his mind and also sounds like he could have emotional issues. Monty Williams might not have the head coaching expierence and is young but that doesn't take away from how impressive he conducts himself, the guy was going to get a chance at some point in the next few years and I am happy it is with the hornets. Now we only need to clean the F.O. up and have majority ownership transfered to Chouest officially, but it could hit a snag becuase of the moratorium put in place which could cost Chouest 100's of millions of dollars.
Obama looks awefully happy getting off Air Force One! I am actually happy that Obama has come again and wish he came earlier the first time, while I don't agree with his politics and am a conservative I don't think him coming to our region is a distraction becuase he needs to know how we feel, the impact it has cuased and devestation it will have for a very long time. Obama should actually stay longer than 1 freaking day down here and maybe have a weekend trip.
The federal goverment and BP are way to close, Thad Allen seems especially cozy with Hayward. I would rather the people "in charge" to stop releasing so many statements and doing interviews but rather focus on the leak and cleanup which has hit day 46. For what it is worth to me these people are just talking to Americans outside of the gulf coast region. I can't see many of us down here getting hopes high when these comments come out, when the oil is not leaking anymore and it is being captured (they obviously won't cap it) then the big shots can come out and tell us for themselves but until then let the low level spokesman give us this information. As for the "production" comment, I maybe one of the few with no problem with that becuase what else do you do with atleast 20,000+ bls. captured per day if they can get the majority of whats gushing out? What is done with the oil after produced/refined can be debated but if oil is contained and can be resourced it should be but I would say not to be for profit on BP's end.
Chouest needs to officially take this team over and clean house becuase the franchise is a mess, the PR department and F.O. are making this franchise look worse than it already is. I am sure it is somewhat hard for Chouest to swiftly get around $200M together and hand it over to George F. Shinn, he is probably trying to work with other investers with cash in the bank (Couest might be worth more than a billion but not all is straight up cash but his complete assets). The team needs to give up on Thibodeua and offer Monty the job, it's what Chris wants and it would make him happy and put this story that continues to hurt the image of an already shot and wounded franchise.
Chris Paul needs to realize that a coach like Byron Scott is not for the best interest of the team and for them to get to the next level. Scott ran an offense with no set plays but just freestyle, the team set few picks and had little ball movement. The team needs a guy with set objectives where everyone's role on the team is known. Paul can still be the best point guard with a different system in place but he needs to feel what it is like playing for a more demanding coach who tells what to do before completely understanding. Thibodeau needs to be the next coach but he will have many options for himself, hornets might have to settle for Avery, Williams or Casey.
Stern better backup this deal but those comments are disturbing even though the sale does have to be approved and having studied law he wouldn't say it is a done deal but saying nothing is better for everyone than saying "it is not a given". Stern had nothing but fine things to say about the new owner of the Nets yet that guy is an iffy character who could be investigated by the feds. This better not have anything to do with Chouest's supposedly desire to once purchase the Timberwolves and move them to N.O. before the hornets. Even though I believe this sale is going down Stern is still a bad commissioner for the NBA and has been at his position too long.
This move will result to losing Chris Paul. Just becuase the team got 2 solid players in last years draft it should not give Bower a pass, his overall work in contructing the cuurent roster has resulted in overpaying many players and a group that does not fit together. The fact that Weber has a say in basketball operations is scarry as hell too, my guess is Chouest will be involved enough to the point where decisions don't go past him and maybe he will take a year before hiring a new F.O. that he would like. This team needs a sleaned up front office to go with the new coach they hire, Bower lost his team shortly after being the head coach and is not trusted when it comes to moves he makes involving trades.
The season was doomed by bad coaching and mistakes caused by the F.O. wich resulted in many bad contracts. All Bower wants to do is make excuseses and say they would have made the playoffs when healthy. Instead he should man up and take some responsiblity for the failure, I have no respect for guys like him and doubt the players do either. Chouest needs to hurry up and get full control so Bower can be fired and the team can start their search finding a new GM and Coach.
Team USA doesn't even start practicing until July, His knee should be at 100% and his finger should be fine as well. Chris seems to love playing for team USA and if he is healthy at that time there should be no problem with him playing. When teams have players talented enough to be on team USA they understand these type of situations come up and should support what decision the player makes. I beleive it can be a good thing for Paul to play becuase it would be good to get some real competitive basketball to help him get back up to par with his play, plus he should get enough rest between now and playing for USA then enough rest before next season starts.
Also without Bower we would'n have Peja, Mo Pete, Posey, Julian or Okafor (who's contract will hurt us the next 4 years just like Peja). Anyone who thinks he is a good coach is listening to Gerry V too much and doesn't know the game of basketball. Darren Collison and Marcus Thornton were definately bright spots that came out of this horrible season but Bower didn't turn them into good players, they were already good coming into the league. The team looked completely lost on offense the majority of the season, there were very few screnes used along with little ball movement each time down court. On defense the team was obviously weak on rebounding the ball, gave up too many points in the paint and did a horible job with their help out defense which resulted in giving up many uncontested 3 poiinters. This team had no business losing to the Nets the way they did or getting beat by the Knicks twice, the hornets got blown out way too many times wether it was with Paul or without him. The players do not have a good relationship with Bower and relieving him of both GM and coaching duties has to happen for the team to get better, there is no reason to keep him in the organization no matter what the role is.
I have been wishing for this for a few years now and believe it will be exactly what the franchise needs. Chouest loves the game of basketball and was a season ticket holder before buying 25% of the team back in 2007. I am sure he is disapointed in what has taken place the last 2 years and is committed to making the franchise better in every aspect starting with a strong F.O. with a new GM and Coaching staff. It will take some time to clean up the mess left over from mistakes made by Bower and Shinn but the future looks brighter with a new owner in place and I belive that N.O. will support the team better in the comming years.
Shinn is still cheap no matter what people say. The players salary might have gotten into having to pay a tax but it wasn't really planned untill the great season 2 years ago, Paul's salary jumped up $10m more (rightfully so) and Posey was signed to be "the guy to put the team in title contention" and with those moves the team thought they would be so good that it would payoff and they could still make a profit but the team went south. The major area where Shinn has held back on spending is in the front office which is the lowest paid in the NBA and with that has come very bad decision making. Very few NBA teams are going to be making profits and with that the owners have to be extremely wealthy and not expect bringing in any income from the team and so they need other means of making money. Since Shinn only has the Hornets I believe he has come to realize he can't keep going on with losing money or just breaking even, so instead he can just collect $200m while selling the team to someone that has what it takes to be a good owner for the franchise Shinn started as well as keeping the team in New Orleans.

Life expectancy in the wild is 5–8 years, and in captivity is up to 15 years.
Mating takes place in February to March and the gestation period is about 65 days.
Litters of 2–4 kittens (although it can vary from 1–7) are born between April and May in a den amongst rocks or in an abandoned fox earth, badger sett or rabbit warren. Births later in the year are possible if an earlier litter is lost.
The mother brings live prey to the den from about 3 weeks, and stops feeding with her milk at around 6–7 weeks.
Kittens may follow their hunting mother from 10 weeks old.
They start to leave their mothers at about 5 months to find their own home ranges over the winter, but continue growing until they are about 10 months old.
Both males and females can breed at 1 year, although males in particular are unlikely to breed until they have established their own home range.

When I would babysit my cousin's twins I would just sterilize every few days or when all the bottles were dirty. We stopped after about....9 months?

With my first daughter, I sterilized all new products before the first use and then relied on soap and water. She's only been sick a rare handful of times in her whole life, and she'll be 11 in two weeks. I'm pregnant with my second daughter now, and will again go the soap and water method. Over sterilizing an infant's environment, except in cases of heightened susceptibility, does more harm than it does good.

We sterilize before each use and will do so for the first few months. After that, we will just be doing a good washing.

I breastfeed and pump about twice a week, so sterilizing is very manageble. I also boil her pacifier once a day.

Yes, I realize that. I was responding to your mocking laugh at the first poster's comment of "I'm realistic." She never said sterilizing was unrealistic, just that she personally was realistic in how she handled her own bottles.
MissSushi 5 years
which is exactly what i said...I sterilized in the early stages when she was eating every 1 1/2 - 2 hours, and I did bottles once a night. Once she was only having 2 or 3 bottles a day, I washed them after each use and didn't sterilize anymore. If they're sitting there, like after a night feeding, or being done once a day or every other day, you really need to make sure they are being cleaned well.

I don't think sterilizing is unrealistic, I think knowing you don't need to sterilize is what's realistic. If you're cleaning immediately anyway, you're killing the germs. Unless you're not cleaning thoroughly.
MissSushi 5 years
lol, if sterilizing wasn't realistic then thousands upon thousands of people wouldn't be able to manage it... I can't say it was fun during the sleep deprived months, but it's manageable, espeically if you have a sterlizing unit. I sterilized the bottles after each use up until 9 months. I had enough of the vent air bottles to last 1 day in the beggining months, and then 2 days later on. I would just stack them up until they ran out, wash them, then boil them. After she hit 9 months, I just washed them since they came apart in 6 million pieces, and left it at that. Powdered formula isn't sterile and if you don't wash the bottles immediatly after use things can build up and stick to small areas, so its a good idea to make sure you get them as clean as possible for infants.

Not after every use or anything. I never sterilized bottles, just washed them well. The pumping stuff was cleaned and sterilized on Fridays because it's nearly impossible to clean the cracks and crevices of it all. But if I skipped a week I wasn't worried.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Las Brisas opponents worked to poke holes in the plant's air permit application on Tuesday while an engineer was on the stand in a hearing on the permit.
Engineer Joseph Kupper answered attorneys' questions about his process of calculating the concentrations of pollutants Las Brisas would emit into the air around the plant.
Though he testified some fuel tank emissions were inadvertently excluded, Kupper said Las Brisas assumed the worst-case scenarios so concentrations would be well within the limits.
"It eliminates questions from the (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) or whoever that you might violate some standards," Kupper said of the practice.
Engineers run several scenarios through computer programs to show whether a new source might violate federal or state pollution standards. The state environmental agency then reviews the data as part of the application process.
Kupper also testified the state agency provided him with the wrong locations of two nearby existing sources to input into the scenarios. Attorney Tom Weber of the Environmental Defense Fund insinuated this error would cause the estimated concentrations to be lower than they might really be.
Attorneys also questioned Kupper's use of meteorological data from the late 1980s and early 1990s, including some data from Brownsville, to figure air pollution from the plant. Kupper said the data came from the state environmental agency and he relied on its guidance.
Kupper will continue testifying at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday with questions from Las Brisas attorney John Riley.
His testimony is part of a state hearing in which opponents are challenging Las Brisas' air permit that would allow it to begin construction and eventually to emit pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds, tiny dust particles, mercury and nitrogen oxides. Las Brisas is a proposed $3 billion power plant on the Corpus Christi Inner Harbor.
Two administrative judges, Craig Bennett and Tommy Broyles, are overseeing the hearing and will issue a recommendation to the state on the permit. The hearing is scheduled to last two weeks, but the outcome won't be known for months.
Another engineer, Shanon DiSorbo, who prepared the air permit application, testified extensively about mercury emissions Tuesday. Attorneys and judges asked him why the White Stallion Energy Center, a coal- and petroleum coke-fired power plant planned in Matagorda County, has lower mercury emissions in its permit application than Las Brisas.
DiSorbo testified the plants will use the same mercury controls and achieve about the same removal rate — 88 percent for Las Brisas and 90 percent for White Stallion. However, White Stallion assumed that the petroleum coke used in its plant would have less mercury. Las Brisas assumed the maximum possible.
DiSorbo said Las Brisas' figure came from the average mercury concentrations provided by refiners that produce the coke, plus 25 percent to account for inconsistencies in the petroleum coke and uncertainty in performance of control equipment.
Under the permit, Las Brisas would be allowed to emit about 200 pounds of mercury a year. However, if the pollution controls work better than expected, the plant would be held to a lower number.

Question Details:I have been divorced for 20 years. My ex-wife lived in this house for less than 1 year right after we purchased it. I just discovered her name is still on the deed. According to the divorce decree I was to live in the house and have it up for sale, which I did, but it didn't sell. Many years have now passed. The divorce decree also states that she is responsible for half any major repairs made on this house. If she will not sign the quit claim deed now I want to take her to court and hold her responsible for those repairs. I had water damage and needed to replace floors and walls and had to have a new roof put on. I doubt she will want to pay court fees and I am hoping that this will deter her from refusing to sign the quit claim.
You need to carefully read the marital dissolution decree with your "ex" to see if she remains on title to the property or not. If the decree is that she and you are to retain joint ownership of the home you shared, then you cannot force your former wife to give up title to the home.
I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney about your matter. If she will not make the repairs needed to the unit you own presently, then you can file a petition with the court for and order to show cause regarding contempt of the marital dissolution decree and seek an order from the court that she pay half of the costs of repairs needed for the home.

Is I5's closed?
The closing is just temporary, Theresa. According to I5's Facebook page, the bar hosted a winter closing party last weekend. The restaurant will be closed through April, so mark your calendar to check back in the spring.
The Brass Pelican on the river has great food and people!
open all winter
No it don't have good food
The Brass Pelican is a dump on the inside and their service is horrible, true story ! The only nice thing about the place is the outside bar area. Their staff has the personality of an 8 foot alligator.
I couldnt agree more on this. Dump for a kitchen. There are though a couple good people that work there but there is a pig with lipstick there in the evenings. I would rather eat on the sidewalk.
First Quiznos now I5s? What's next CiCis?
CiCis is closed. Has been for awhile.
Oh dear lord! What's next, Samuri steakhouse?
666 huh? Real mature. Go to church
Naming yourself after rapper who named himself after a drug dealer: mature. Being number 2 to do so: priceless.
That was a funny comeback, although I think both of your account names are stupid.
I am in no way shape or form mature! I dont appreciate those kind of words tossed at me. If you have read any of my comments, you would know that. Jerk.
Brass service is TERRIBLE. Very UN friendly servers. Sandusky is WORST than huron.
I've been to the Brass in Slumdusky before and I must agree, the service was terrible. they treat you like a inconvienence instead of a customer. People dont realize how far customer service goes.
Main Street Tavern in huron has the best craft beer selection around and stellar food. i5's can stay closed.
+1 on main street. Grat food and good service. Even has clean restrooms
Main street also has the best fights and young crowd drunks. Great place. Cops will shut it down soon.
Sounds like a great place to beat people...I mean..ah..uh..to meet people.
what happens at night is not my worries, lunch and dinner are awesome!
brass prlican in sandusky is great...huron one sucks..serviceterrible we went to huron one for buckeye game with 12 people .they played notre dame game for 2 people at the bar on big tv.we askedc to change and they said no. we left with 12 people and wont go back
I5's I have stopped at several times over the summer. It always has good food and the service is very nice and accomdating.
I think some places can have marginally good food but if the service is very good they do fine. Seem many places with so so food do a brisk business beacuse of the attentive wait staff.
I would have to agree The Pelican has went down hill and especially with changing some of their food to frozen pre packaged crap that doesn't compare to what they used to serve, and yea in Sandusky there is only one or two barmaids there that treat you decent and the rest of them treat you like crap! You get it even worse if god forbid you go in there on a Sunday to catch an NFL game because your team isn't playing and you wear anything else in there but the BROWNS, then you really get treated like crap!
Ohio has no room for Steeler fans. I am not a Browns fan, but Steeler fans are impossible to deal with. They're like a Michigan fan with even less class.
I watch "Restaurant Stake Out". Maybe one of these places need to call them in.
The location of the Brass Pelican in Huron is a dark and dirty place. It's a basement. Not much has changed from the two previous attempts to run a restaurant in that location. The atmosphere is depressing if the outside patio is not available. The menu is straight out of Gordon Foods frozen foods shelves. There are a whole lot of nicer places if you want Gordon Foods.
The location isn't that bad, especially when the weather's good. The service is another story - it's not uncommon in the summer to wait 3-4 hours for food. In the winter, I've had great food there.
The problem is that the lower level of the building has a tiny kitchen where no more than 4 people can work without falling all over each other. The upper level has a huge full restaurant kitchen, but according to Pelican staff, the landlord wants an outrageous amount to allow use of it. It's too bad - it's not like he's going to rent out the upper level any time soon, and if the situation continues, he might lose the existing tenant. Oh well.
I used to work in the Boat Basin @ two different restaurants and just have some observations to make based off comments. 1st of all Huron is a great place to own a business in. If you have a good business, the residents will come out and support it. I saw it firsthand. The problem is that there are only so many patrons to go around in a small city like Huron. Unfortunately, usually the newest bar/restaurant draws the business while the others suffer. When a business starts to hemmorage money the quality of the product goes down. This is true in any business hospitality or otherwise. This will always be a problem in Huron as long as there are entrepenours who think they can do something that most others haven't, which is survive. This will happen again when the Brass eventually fails (see Twine House, Safari Club, Spreaders, The Old Platt), and when someone buys I-5's (see JPs Downunder). I think/hope an exception to the rules is the Main St. Tavern. The owners are Huron locals and the staff is a mixture of all the "good" staff from the previously mentioned bars that have failed. These guys know the business, they have quality service/food/drink and genuinely care about the locals. Someone previously mentioned fights? Let's be honest. It's a bar and fights are going to happen. But the owners of that place will no doubt handle anyone who fights in the bar and my guess is that they won't be welcome back. And hey, it's safer than risking walking to a bar in downtown Sandusky right now. I wish these guys luck because the last time I came home everyone was talking about going to Kalahari and that it was the new "it" place for everyone to go. Sad that instead of supporting local business, money has to go to a rich guy from Wisconsin that built a tourist attraction that you all now go to. So does that now make you a tourist in your own town? Wait, so do you hate yourself now?
Jamie and the crew at Main Street got a great thing going on. If the management at Brass Pelican is listening, I want you to take this feedback seriously. It is very common knowledge that the Sandusky location has inconsistent food served in a very dark, unkempt place by very rude, impolite servers/bartenders. The food has gone downhill over the years with ridiculous ticket times. It is not uncommon to wait 50 minutes or longer from the time you sit down to the time the plate is auctioned to everyone at the table. I do enjoy many sauces and how the wings are supposed to be prepared but you get the good stuff maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the time at best. The customers making comments here represent most of the comments that I hear. I am not suprised that a few say they like the food. I have in the past got some good food i really enjoyed, but then the service sucked or i had to stare at cobwebs arching from the dusty chains holding up the 57 antique tube televisions. Please re-train or replace your bartenders/servers and bring your kitchen staff back to a standard where you can stop in on a one hour lunch break and get a plate of wings or a burger. Clean the place up a little and update the interior. Especially the glass entrance in the back that has grubby crap stacked up in it. Consider bringing a manager on duty to ensure ticket times, service standards, and section cleaning. Bring a few more beers on tap. Don't tell us you don't have the space with a bar that wraps around the whole thing. It could be nice if you make a few investments and let a little sunshine in and bring on considerate staff. That is number one. Those women are intolerable and they are NOT apologetic about the behavior or the food or the time it takes for it to arrive. It is no wonder people go to chains or resorts that have service standards..
Don't drag stupid football into a bar discussion. It never matters.

Bell, 20, died at the UAB Medical Center, MSU officials announced.
A third-year sophomore defensive end from Bessemer, Ala., Bell started the first two games this season for MSU before being sidelined by headaches and numbness in his arms and hands. On Oct. 1, he underwent surgery to remove a malignant tumor from his brain. ...

Divock Origi believes he will learn from the players he'll be challenging for a first-team berth when he arrives at Liverpool next summer.
With four senior strikers currently in the Reds squad, the Belgian knows competition will be fierce when he begins his Anfield career when his season-long loan at Lille comes to an end.
However, given his tender age, Origi knows he'll need to be patient - and insists he'll be studying his new teammates to help improve his own game.
The 19-year-old said: "Always with big teams there is competition, but it's also nice to have big players there so you can learn from them and grow and so you can play when the time is right.
"I will go there with a lot of patience and I know I'm going to learn a lot of things with the great players that are there."
Origi was one of nine summer signings Brendan Rodgers recruited over the course of pre-season.
It signalled the end of a long pursuit of the forward, with Liverpool having tracked him since his days in the Belgian U15 team.
"I chose Liverpool and I have never regretted it," said Origi.
"I think they welcomed me very well. This showed me a little bit about the history of the club and their philosophy so it was very interesting.
"At the end, I think it was the right choice."

I can understand a 'civilian's' reaction to the concept of unschooling because I didn't embrace it when we set off on what would be our homeschooling adventure. (a tip of the hat to HSWatch for the link)
Salem's Lots blog, 11 October 2006, I was born way too late, or, Unschooling, no fooling…
This new trend is to let the KIDS decide what they want to learn. As if the little bastards aren't narcissistic enough..
Like John H. at Salem's Lots, unschooling looked irresponsible, and, for me, the initial homeschooling-flavor-of-choice was a 'school in a box.' That changed by the next year because 'school in a box' didn't work for us.
After that first 'if we could divorce each other we would' year, our style settled down to what I called 'sorta schooling' which consisted of me reading to the kids what I thought they ought to know: history-from-the-beginning with appropriate stops for literature and science. After my voice failed for the day, we'd go off on our own. Mom croaking = school's out, sauerkraut. I read to the kids because, 1) I like reading aloud, 2) reading aloud is a family tradition, 3) I hate nagging people to 'do stuff,' and 4) I'm a tightwad and my voice cost less than four copies of each book.
Sometimes we'd go off together if, say, it was a nice day. Then we 'did P.E.,' which was code for long walks out to the lake and nature preserve formerly known as a gravel pit. We also enjoyed bike rides through the woods and out to a bridge where we'd desultorily play Pooh Sticks. We also laughed a lot, such as the time my (famously loud) sneeze echoed back to us in the woods.
John H. finishes up with:
Actually, I'm glad my parents 'schooled' me. I'm the proud owner of a B.A. in Political Science..a degree I have not used in any form or fashion in my entire adult life.
Yeah, my kids got degrees, too, and they're all using their degrees in one form or another. (in the interest of full-disclosure, I have naught but 98.6 degrees augmented by a large at-home library) But, as one sometimes finds out through homeschooling, it isn't the degree that's most important, it's the life. Ours was grand and we're still having fun more of the time than when we're not having fun.
Good luck and happy lives to you and your commenters, John.

Best discription of marriage ever.
As I watch my married children struggle in our western influenced culture, there are many different struggles they face. Different checking accounts, different family and career goals, different ideas of the importance of G-d in their lives. Being one means, OUR money, OUR family and career goals, OUR connection to G-d. This means loving enough to give-up oneself for the union of one. Each functions uniquely but combine to make one body. With this in human form we fight selfishness, self pride, self centeredness, self inclination to do evil for the sake of the one. It is not easy and can not be achieved quickly. But all things are possible with G-d.

Very nice concept but how can you become one? In what ways or actions?
August 17, 2014 3:08 AM
Adopt the mindset of being a giver instead of a taker. A person is married not in order to get anything (satisfaction, possessions, etc.). Be married because of what you can give to your spouse. Find ways to help him/her become a better, happier person. With success, the sense of fulfillment of this kind of relationship will give you real happiness and a truly beautiful relationship.

Just as in the weave of a three-stranded cord, mentioned in Ecclesiastes, the weave of the two, with God in the center, creates the strongest weave of all.
June 7, 2012 1:30 PM
Wiah my first marriage had been like wine
We started out no more than kids, but we're so fiercely independent never made wine just stayed two different types of grapes. I think the process of becoming wine has to be God the winemaker. And the two varieties must surrender themselves to Him.
June 6, 2012 10:29 PM
I thought this was an excellent picture of what marriage is supposed to be. When my husband left this world behind I felt as if half of me had been ripped away. We had been together 46 years and were still in love.

beautiful thoughts on the wine, but...............
Matzoh ball soup is definitely, absolutely NOT "more Jewish than wine." Obviously wine is mentioned in the Torah and was considered a crucial part of worship.
And not all Jews come from Eastern Europe, the home of matzoh balls. Sephardim, Mizrachim, Romaniot, Bene Israel from India, Ethiopians, etc. etc. do not know from matzoh balls, and frankly I am tired of North American Jews of Ashkenazi descent thinking that Judaism originated in Poland and Russia.
July 31, 2014 11:45 PM
I was thinking the same thought about matzoah balls and Ashcanaz assuming that ALL Jews come from a culture of bagels and lox etc but you expressed it more succinctly and eloquently than I would have. Right on! But overall, I did like the message of this video and the analogy to wine.

Charlie Knoll, I hope....
... that your marriage is much more than a $4 bottle of wine.
Wishing you only the finest.
Charlie Knoll,
June 6, 2012 2:39 PM
Wrong about wine
A bottle of wine is made from 2.5 pounds of grapes. As some bottles sell for $4 or less, the price doesn't even cover the cost of the grapes (usually retail at $2.99/lb) let alone the cost of sugar etc etc. For wine the whole may be less than the sum of its parts.
June 7, 2012 12:49 AM
you missed the point
I think you missed the point ! Sour Grapes ?
June 7, 2012 1:33 AM
Do you really think that they don't make money on a $4 bottle?
Yes, you might pay $2.99 for grapes at the supermarket. But wine grapes are a whole different system. The grapes in a $4 bottle—which is wishful thinking, good wines cost more than that (cause they need to pay for good grapes)—cost less than $1 per pound.
Mr. Harary isn't wrong about wine, you are.

Today's lavish Jewish weddings are are unecceassry on the scale they are held. All you need is two witnesses and a Rabbi I believe. If you have multi thousands to spend give a lot of charity. Also Bar Mitzvoth. Thank you.
June 6, 2012 5:12 PM
I'm getting married BH in august... i have talked to my girlfriend about the loss of significance of the wedding when you lose the real objective of it, to be together. It has been a real gehinam to plan this wedding at the scale that my in-laws want it to be, I'm tired already and it hasn't even begun, I have talked to her into taking a plane to Israel and getting married in my old kibutz... that would be simple and meaningful.
June 6, 2012 1:24 PM
The most beautifull and true explanation...
...about what marriage really is,
...how our forfatheres until the Rabbanim of today celebrated it in a way everybody can understand it,
It just makes happy, to learn this..

nice but really...
the reason for wine is that its the only thing in the physical world that improves with time reflecting an accent spiritually. its for the same reason,we use wine erev shabbat to signify the accent from the 6 days of the week to shabbat kaddosh. also we use wine at a brit again to celebrate an increased spiritual level. funny thing is that also use it for havdalah. shouldn't think we return to where we were before shabbat once the day is over. but like a step on a staircase,we leave shabbat elevated by at least one more level. this torah thought was heard from rabbi akiva tatz. shavua tov

Can't we make the same case for any alcohol? Vodka > potatos. Beer > wheat. Why did Jews choose wine over any other alcohol? Is it the oldest alcohol known to our people?
November 30, 2011 6:10 AM
Wine, signifying joy, happiness, making merry. God's presence in his creation, the fruit of the vine. Very good video, honor's marriage as positive aspect to encounter.

The process is a little more complicated than that,but great clip
This is a beautiful video, but I disagree with part of it. Grapes don't suddenly become wine when they're crushed. They need to ferment, to be handled with care and treasured in order to become a truly great wine. The same is true for marriage. The first year is like grape juice, you start out with pressure in order to render the juice and unify it, but it's sweet, and spoils if you don't preserve (refrigerate) it properly. Differences are also best refrigerated until you can deal with them in a calm manner. Over time, if the couple treats each other with respect and appreciation, the vintage improves, if not, you end up with vinegar.

bottle of wine/fruit of the vine
There is Divine itself, as in the word, as in VINO, DIVINO, the name of a store in Newton, MA. In fact wine has a deep sacramental significance. I once read a piece on past lives, and strangely, in this piece, people were described as souls, all connected on that vine, a grapevine.
I think we're all communicating, as it is said, I heard it on the grapevine..
Wine has that Dionysian ability to bring people very high, and perhaps too high, towards what is, transcendent in another way, too. We know this.
And so life is essentially bipolar, as in the wine, and we need to realize that to whine, is to express upset in complaint, and that too, is a related word. I am following a deeply language-based story, and as in challah, surely, it's a weave, a gold gold braid.
We are ONE, and alone. We are a part, of something far far greater than ourselves, and we are apart. Life is essentially a lonely road, a solitary journey, and when we find that certain other, we cleave to each other, and find ourselves in the other, and in learning about them too. And cleave is also, a bipolar word, as it also rents asunder, as we do know, in using a cleaver. G_d is "clever". One could say, a Massive Intelligence guides our collective and individual stories, and we're all connected to each other, as grapes to the vine, to what is Divine.

A New Entity, but . . .
Yes, the union of the two individuals results in a new and more valuable entity, but it does not end the existence of its component parts. Just as a corporation is a legal person/entity with its shareholders remaining persons as well, so it is with marriage. The American tradition is for the bride and groom to light the unity candle--a much thicker one--from their individual candles. Some couples then blow out their individual candles before replacing them in their holders. My husband and I were among those who left their individual candles lit. In marrying, we did not die. We added to our individual values by forming a new--additional--united entity. We still exist. I have knowledge and skills that he lacks, and the same is true of him with respect to me. We are still us, but we now face the world united in G-d's service.

Northridge Women's Basketball Hosts The Master's College in Tuesday Night Twinbill
The Cal State Northridge women's basketball team hosts the Master's College Tuesday night at The Matadome in its second exhibition contest of the season at 6 p.m. The Matadors lost their first exhibition game, getting tripped up by Cal Poly Pomona, 76-72, in overtime on Nov. 2.
In her first appearance in a Matador uniform, junior Whitney Ligon scored a team-high 15 points in the loss to the Broncos. Ligon, a transfer from Santa Ana CC, added four rebounds and two assists in the game. Fellow transfer Tonicia Tademy, a 5-5 junior from Mt. San Antonio College, scored 12 points and dished out a team-high five assists.
A pair of upperclassmen rounded out the Matadors' top scorers against the Broncos. Senior Katie Holloway posted a double-double in the loss, recording 12 points and 11 rebounds. Junior Ashley Blake finished with 10 points and four rebounds.
The Matadors jumped out to a 17 point lead with 4:09 remaining in the first half, but scored only 15 points in the second half, including 1-of-12 from beyond the three-point line. Northridge also had problems at the free throw line, connecting on 59.6 percent (28-of-47) of its opportunities.
The game was a back-and-forth affair that featured eight ties and 13 lead changes. Northridge forced 35 Bronco turnovers, which it converted into 25 points. Pomona also created opportunities on defense, scoring 32 points off 30 Northridge turnovers.
The Master's College won their first contest of the season, defeating Dominican, 106-67, on Nov. 2. Jenna Reed led the Mustangs with 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting and also pulled down six rebounds in the contest. Jen Ayers-Stamper added 14 points in the victory and four rebounds in the contest.
The game against the Mustangs is part of a basketball doubleheader Tuesday night at The Matadome. Following the women's game against The Master's College, the men's squads from both schools will play an exhibition contest. Tip off for the men's game is slated fo 8 p.m., though may run later due to outcome of the women's game.
Northridge opens its 2007-08 season with a pair of road contests this weekend. On Friday, the Matadors travel to Malibu to face the Pepperdine Waves and on Sunday, Northridge heads to San Diego to square off against the San Diego Torreros.
Catch all the Matador action this season on gomatadors.com, where Sam Farber will be calling all the action during the season.

Helpline: 603-646-2999
Overall System Status:
Students who bring computers other than those recommended sometimes have problems getting their computers connected to the Dartmouth network, even when the computer appears to meet our specifications. In some cases, these problems could not be resolved, and as a result, those systems did not meet the computer ownership requirement. You should not assume that because you are bringing a relatively new, brand-name computer that it will meet the computer ownership requirement. Resolving problems on systems not supported by Dartmouth may require time and money — and leave you without a computer in the meantime.
If you choose to purchase a new or used system from a source other than Dartmouth, you should carefully consider what you buy. If you want to purchase something from Apple or Dell other than what's being recommended, you can pre-order it from us and pick it up at The Computer Store, have it sent to your home, or you can wait until you get on campus to make your purchase. You can also order something from an outside vendor, but you will also need to separately purchase basic commercial software, such as Microsoft Office and Symantec EndPoint Protection (available at educational discounts at The Computer Store).
Also, we only support the specific computer models and operating systems that we recommend: Macintosh computers running Mac OS X and the Dell line of computers running the Windows 7 Ultimate or Enterprise, or Windows 8. If you buy or bring a personal computer other than from one of the recommended vendors, or with an unsupported operating system, you will need to take your computer off campus for warranty repair and support.
If you purchased your computer elsewhere, you must contact the incoming student computer hotline to discuss your options and to find out about our standards for network interface cards and other key components. Call the incoming student computer hotline at (603) 646-1104 (from the U.S. or Canada) or (866) 720-7567 (from outside the U.S. or Canada; the call is toll-free).

In past years, we have demonstrated a significant positive effect on report card scores in elementary school. Further analysis demonstrates similar results for middle school report card scores; the positive effects of City Connects contintue after students leave a City Connects elementary school and move into middle school.
The analysis compared City Connects and comparison students' middle school grade point averages (GPAs). Across all grades, in all middle school GPA calculations, students formerly in City Connects demonstrated higher mean GPAs than those from comparison schools. Specifically:
- Students enrolled in City Connects elementary schools demonstrated significantly higher GPAs overall in Mathematics in grades 6, 7, and 8
- Similarly, students enrolled in City Connects elementary schools demonstrated significantly higher GPAs overall in English/Language Arts in grades 6 and 7

Full detailed profile on Alex Olanov Played by Tonja Walker on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
Tonja Walker
Alex Olanov
Actor: Tonja Walker
Who played Alex Olanov over the years
Tonja Walker (on and off from 1990 - 2007; January 2, 2009 - January 5, 2009; March 15 and 17, 2011; November 22, 2011)
Useful information on Alex Olanov
* Blackmailed Nigel to give her St. Blazes.
Current: Owner of St. Blazes Resort
Past: Stripper
Past: Mayor of Llanview
Past: Federal Anti-crime Bureau Agent
First appearing in Llanview in 1990, Alex came to Bo's aid, as an FAB agent, in an attempt to help him locate his wife, who had been kidnapped by Carlo Hesser. However, though Sarah was actually being held in a government safe house, Alex made a deal with Carlo - to prevent Sarah from testifying against him, in exchange for information that Alex had been seeking. After Sarah was moved, her plane crashed and she was presumed dead, leading Bo to fall in love with Cassie Callison - and Alex to attempt to drown Cassie after she had fallen for Bo!
Placed in the Mountainview Clinic, Alex soon escaped, found Sarah, ruined Bo's wedding to Cassie with Sarah's appearance then was recommitted to the clinic. Once released, Alex hooked back up with Carlo then was left to run his mob business after he was presumed dead! Alex sought out Carlo's brother Mortimer Bern to impersonate Carlo, who later left town, leaving Alex to snag her next big fish - Asa Buchanan, who helped her become mayor of Llanview.
Upon Carlo's return, though married to Asa, Alex and Carlo continued their affair until Asa found out - and ruined her changes of marrying Carlo by proving she was faking a pregnancy. When Alex was blamed for Carlo's murder, Carlo returned and announced that he had been impersonating his brother! To get Alex back, years later, Asa found Alex as a stripper, convinced her he was in love with her then locked her away while he married Gabrielle Medina. Alex once again got out of her current jam then ended up blackmailing Asa into marriage - who, on paper, ended up being a janitor, Jeb Stuart, one of Asa's many aliases!
It wasn't until recently when Alex returned for Asa's real funeral in 2007, where she found out that David Vickers was Asa's long lost son. After convincing David that she was rich, Alex married him then was persuaded by Nigel to keep his paternity a secret in exchange for his ownership of the St. Blazes Resort. Alex quickly had her marriage to David annulled and left for the island.
In January 2009, Dorian Lord ran across Alex and found out that she had been behind her hit and run at Asa's reading of the will in Texas and threatened to sue her for the island. Alex then gave Dorian the information that David was the real Buchanan heir, in order to keep her island, and has been living there ever since.
Bo and Rex arrived in St. Blaze's to confront Alex on David's whereabouts. She denied knowing anything, even though they found David there in bed with two women, and fell prey to Bo's seductive charms. Bo pulled away before they slept together then Alex contacted Clint to report that their plan had already been set in motion.
Alex appeared again in November 2011 when Cutter found her in a plastic surgeon's office in Rio. He approached Alex, his mother, and tried to strangle her for leaving him as a child.

There are no additional images yet
In Rio, Aubrey tries distracting Dr. Fascinella's receptionist, claiming she wants to surprise her boyfriend with some new boobs. The woman catches Rex trying to break into the exam room and runs to find security. Just as Rex is about to break down the door, wanting to see who Cutter's hiding inside, Cutter appears with a woman in a wheelchair. Her face is wrapped in bandages. Rex and Aubrey fill Cutter in on their theories on how he snagged a Gigi lookalike. Aubrey unwraps the woman's bandages. Rex is stunned to see Alex. 'Stacy' listens from the other room, as Cutter admits Alex is his phantom Gigi. Alex read about Cutter and Aubrey's initial scam, tracked him down and teamed up with Cutter. She wanted her share of the Buchanan money. Aubrey doesn't think Rex would've mistaken Alex for Gigi. Rex remembers hearing about Dr. Fascinella making someone look like Pine Valley's Erica Kane. The doctor's ahead of his time. It's possible he thought Alex was Gigi. 'Stacy' hears how upset Rex is, talking about how he's chased Gigi long enough. Security appears and drags Aubrey and Rex away. Alex was glad to help Cutter. She hopes they see each other again one day. Out in the hallway, Rex tells Aubrey he's convinced that the Gigi lookalike wasn't Alex and is still in the building.
Rex and Aubrey enter Dr. Fascinella's office in Rio. They show the receptionist a photo of Cutter and Gigi. The woman refuses to break anyone's confidence. When Rex and Aubrey hear they're in a plastic surgeon's office, Rex thinks Cutter's accomplice was made to look like Gigi. Aubrey wonders if Cutter brought her back there to change her face back. Rex realizes he wasn't losing his mind, even if the woman he was seeing wasn't Gigi. He's glad Aubrey is there. In another room, 'Stacy' screams for Cutter to stop strangling Alex. Cutter thinks Alex deserves to die but lets her go for 'Stacy's' sake. Alex thanks 'Stacy', who says, "I did it for him." Alex doesn't understand Cutter's animosity and promises to make things up to him. Cutter doubts it. When they open the door to return to the waiting area, they see Rex and Aubrey. They close the door. Alex admits she knows and dislikes Rex. Cutter orders Alex to help him and 'Stacy' get out of there without Rex seeing them.

Best Indian Market St. Louis 2003 - Peacock Market and Café - CLOSED
2137 Barrett Station Road
Des Peres, MO 63131
The Peacock South Asian Market and Café is a family-owned and -operated business that offers home-cooked vegetarian meals on its restaurant side and, on its market side, all of your Indian shopping needs: food, music, natural healing products and a remarkably extensive Indian DVD and video selection. The market, which is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. till 9 p.m., is infused with aromas from the adjoining restaurant, which only inspires you to pile your basket higher with the aim of attempting to re-create the stuff at home. Don't miss the selection of exotic ice creams available by the scoop in the restaurant and by the pint or quart in the market -- flavors such as rose water or fig will very nicely complement the spicy meal you're about to prepare.
