stale bread! not fresh on delivery.
Ordering from torrp it up is like a lottery, sometimes you win and sometimes you don't. The bread that they send is most of the times stale, and you can easily make out that this wasn't made when you ordered but a lot before than you places the order.
I can't believe that the management isn't looking into this. It is very disappointing that this is what we are getting. P.S: I am referring to the lokhandwala outlet.

Mouth Watering Food :)
Have you ever tried the Tartines at Torrp it up? If you havent you have no idea what you are missing. They are fantastic and completely worth it. They have a wide range of toppings from Chicken Tikka, Lamb Kafta, Chicken Sheek and my favorite which is Mexican Chicken. The meat is so tender it is unbelievable. The vegetarian Tartines are also very good. I once tried the Garden fresh Tartine and it was quite nice.

Torrp It Up Is The Best .... :)
I used to really hate mushrooms and I still do. But whenever I eat at Torrp it up, I dont mind and in fact love their mushroom Torrps. Somehow they make mushrooms taste so good unlike other places. Cheers to Torrp it up for their variety and flavors. I also like their chicken torrps which are simply fabulous and their tartines which are so fresh and delicious that I can never get tired of eating there.

Torrp it up is the best !
I must say great job done to torrp it up coz I just came to know about the fact that Subway has copied the idea of tartine from torrp! Torrp it up were the ones who introduced tartines to Indian masses but Subway copied this concept and now they are also offering tartine in their outlets! But one thing is to be noted that the quality of tartines available at torrp it up are far better than that of the Subway.

Stale Food
The worst sandwich ever eaten, cannot compare the sandwiches to subway. Had been to his place at Andheri last week along with a couple of my friends for a quick bite. The bread looked like it was a day old and hence not fresh. The smoked chicken was tough, and when got this to the notice of the staff member we were directed to call 9920793566. On calling this number were told by him that the bread we were served was todays bread and hence cannot be stale. Simply not acceptable.

We visited the Lokhandwala outlet yesterday. The sandwich bread (Torrp) was stale which was served to me and my friends. When told about the quality to the staff, we were given the number 9920793566 who paid no heed. on the contrary we were told that the Bread was today's Bread whom we spoke to over the phone. Can u believe this.

Great Food - always try the soup :)
I have been here on several occasions - it's more of a go-to place when I can't think of any other place. The Torrps are good - there's plenty of choice and the 70 buck torrp of the day is always value for money. I particularly like the soup at this place, really nice way to get the meal started. Not much by the way of decor or ambiance, but one isn't really looking for that at a place like this. All in all, awesomeness - a must try

Will never visit again
I bought this voucher through a deal site,I visited this place today.
I ordered Chiken Tikka,Prawn Sub and Smoked Chiken Sub.
To begin with when i reached the joint,The place was quite fine,with a subway style sub making bar.It look a replica of subway.As i placed my order with the guy at the counter, he told one grl standing there to make the order but she was arguing with the counter guy tht itz her lunch time and she wont make the subs.How unprofessional is that, Costomer is right in front of u and u talk like that.
Finally after 5 minutes a guy came to make my subs. Subs were ready with all veggies. In the Prawns Sub, He exactly put 5 pieces of small prawns, i mean what the hell is tht, after paying 140 for a sub u put 5 pieces of small prawns.The taste of both the subs was bland and not worth eating.The chiken in the sub was hard and looked stale. Comming to the chiken tikka, it was the worst possible chiken tikka i have ever eaten, as hard as rock, look like kept for a month in fridge, heated and given,Still i ate it think of it as a protien suppliment, Chicken breasts have the most protein...
I left 1 piece chiken tikka, and half of both subs as they were so badd.
I also had ordered 2 cokes, Lemme tell u guys this place doesnt have a fountian machinene they fill the glass with coke bottles.The coke ws flat.Just tasted like ......
Thtz it me neva visiting this place again,Subway is 1000 timez betta than this place..

Best in the Area...
Ate one Thai Toffu torrp last night here... with my friends... they have maintained the consistency in their taste... only thing i missed is the "spicy toffu torrp" which they discontinued.
The Thai toffu torrp was really tasty... Total time spent at the shop was only 20min.. which include the time for placing the order and eating it... which was really quick...
The place you gotta be !
My friends and I were in Infiniti mall and all of us were starving, as we were bored of all the eateries in Infiniti. We headed out of the mall in search of a good eatery and right opposite we saw a place that looked very colorful so we decided to try it out. We entered Torrp it up, the ambience was really nice and the menu had a lot of variety. We were really confused as we saw the menu then finally decided to order 2 Torrps and a wrap. The service was good. All of us liked the torrps and the wrap. They were really tasty and the beverages went really well with the torrps! It was awesome!
Now Torrp it up has become our favorite hangout! Its a cool place to eat, chill and enjoy!!!

Torps aren't sub-subs: They're bigger & better
I'm a complete sandwich fan and glad that I finally experienced torrps. On the looks of it, they're a sandwich "me-too". But their bread is largely the differentiator - especially the multi-grain! They have a wide range of fillings accompanied by the torrp-of-the-day. Ask for your torrp to be grilled and if you like your sandwich spicy, don't miss out on their red hot garlic-mayo topping.
Tried tuna, smoked chicken, chi seekh & chi tikka, followed by their double choco cookie - all were fantabulous! Have spared the wraps to be tried next time :D

Poor service but good for a quick bite!
slightly overpriced for a snack but suited our taste buds. Me & my friend were the first ones to walk in followed by another couple. With just 4 of us, one would think, you can have better service - however the staff seemed absolutely ill-equipped to handle customer requests or even understand requirements. Lot of fumbles & messing up with our requests. Suggestion-you ought to serve tomato ketchup to cater to Indian taste. The 3 stars are only for the final product which was definetely above average. Overall experience - strictly OK.

Subway beware, you've got competition!
So after passing by the outlet numerous time, I finally ordered my lunch from here today. I had the Thai Chicken wrap, which was the Wrap of the day, along with the non veg soup (spinach corn with smoked chicken pieces) and a chocolate mousse. I was pleasantly surprised with the prompt delivery, as opposed to the other restaurants in the same vicinity who take more then 20 mins to deliver food to my office in Lokhandwala. The Thai wrap was good and suitable for people who dislike spicy wraps, the filling had some sort of a creamy mayonnaise sauce along with olives, jalapeño , chicken lettuce leaves and onions. The Chocolate mousse was gooey and just melted in my mouth, though I was slightly disappointed with the soup as by the time it reached my office it was almost room temperature. I hope they do something about their hot box or have a thicker casing in which they carry the food to be delivered. The wrap of the day was Rs 70, the non veg soup Rs 25 & the mousse was for Rs 45 which came to Rs 140 and I think it was a total VFM experience. I would prefer Torrp It Up any day over Subway...keep up the good work!

It's Good..!
Every alternate day I have it from here. It is good and the Torrp is also filling. The Choco-Chip Cookie is also not Bad. The Soup is also Amazing. My classes are right there and I get only 20 mins break, and there service is amazing. The staff is also very friendly.
And they even have one-veg and one-non-veg torp of the day, which is pretty cool. Its healthy and hygenic.

Value for Money
Yesterday i had a show @9.15 for a movie and i reached fame @8.30 and started looking to grab something really quick and then suddenly i realize that "Torrp it up" is right across the street. I went there and ordered a Spicy Toffu Torrp and i must say that this time i enjoyed more. I got my torrp in less then 10minutes.
It's really a good option if you really want to grab something really quick.

Don't go for the salad
From my earlier review, one can see that I have been a regular at Torrp for couple of months now.
I stand by my statement about the brownie being good.
But sadly I wish I could say the same about the salad. They fill the impressively big-looking salad containers just half way through. Given that the salads are expensively priced, this obviously does not go down well with regulars like me who rely on Torrp for their weekly meal.
And the tea/coffee (while on the menu) is still not available.
July 12, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Thank you mam for the great review. we will also look into the salads and make sure we give you a better product.

Good VFM
Since my office is in the same building as this place, it is a very convenient spot for me to grab a bite.
The subs (they call it Torrp) are good and priced lower than Subway. Also, they fill it up pretty well and then heat it up for you. And you can always ask them to increase the fillings - they do.
Why Torrp scores over Subway for me is because here they recommend the sauces to go with each sub. Also, they have 2 Torrps of the day - one veg, one non-veg - unlike Subway which has just one, whether you like it or not.
These days, I frequent Torrp more for their brownie, which is very gooey and chocolate-y and great VFM at Rs 35.
But sadly, they do not have coffee or tea though this is mentioned in the wall menu. I wish they would get the coffee going too, cos then I will definitely be a regular along with the rest of the people from my workplace.

I had been reading a lot of good things about Torrp it up in Lokhandwala, so headed out there for snacks in the afternoon. For sub sandwiches..they have an option of a 7 inch sub..which honestly may have been 7 inches long but was pretty narrow in terms of width..so it beat the purpose.
They filled it up with veggies and then heated it up..it tasted highly ok..just a twist from the Subway concept changing it from a 6 inch sub to a 7 inch..
In terms of taste, I didn't find much to complain about nor was it spectacular making me want to come back to this place for more!
They also serve soups, salads, wraps, cookies and being a vegetarian, I cant really comment on the non veg food (which I heard is delicious).
Staff is polite and courteous.
Would I head back to this place again? Perhaps not...unless I read something really really good about this place on burrp.com
May 30, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Hi Salz00 our breads are not like Subway and therfore not even the similar dimensions. We have a lot of different filings to offer on our menu and would highly recommend you to try the mushroom herb garlic and the mediterranean veg.. I am sure you would like them andhave a diffrent view about us. We look forward to serving you again and also thanks for the review great learning for us.
May 30, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Shall definitely try both the sandwiches recommended by you and post a review again concerning the same :)
May 30, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Salz00 i would also recommend you to try the same in a wrap form.
I liked it
I had bought a voucher from mydala and wanted to give dis place a shot as in i had passed several times from d atm of icici n place always caught my attention.
to start wid I had ordered for a paneer tika makhani which tasted preety well.....d torpp had just d right amount of veggies and sausage n d paneer was fresh n soft. N no of options to chose from d sausages. As far as people Comparing it wid subway well den u have 100 of punjabi restaurant offering punjabi food den y do we goo to most of dem wanting to try d same butter chicken??
Well friends d food offers sum change from subway n i am a die hard subway fan especially of the Roasted Chicken der...but still i liked d food.
will definately go der again..one more thing now dey have started wid torpp of d day n dey have priced it very reasonably..:)
My Only Complaint wuld be d bread was a little to dry for my liking n dey can surely have whole wheat grain n Parmesan in d options....
May 30, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Thanks a lot for the great review. Sir i would highly recommend that you come come and try mushroom herb and garlic for veg and the lamb kafta for non veg. We look forward to serving you again and sorry for the late response.
Could be better
Between me an my friend who I took along, we had one Pesto Chicken Salad and one CBLT (Chicken, Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato) wrap. Basically, you can choose any meat or veggie item and choose to have it either in a salad, wrap or sandwich. The sandwiches here are like the ones in Subway, not with square bread slices. And they have decent bread options - regular, oregano, whole wheat.
The pesto chicken was extremely good, except that it didn't go so well with the salad. It would've been better as a wrap. Also, I noticed one big difference between the salads here and in Subway. The salad bowl in Subway is less deep but wider. At Torrp It Up, the bowl was round and deep. This makes a big difference in the sauces reaching the bottom of the salad. So a Subway salad remains saucy even as you are close to finishing it, while the Torrp It Up salad became just dry lettuce (not that the lettuce itself was not fresh, but the mayo didn't really wet them) at the end. Maybe something to learn for them?
The CBLT was okay. While the bacon had a good flavor to it, the chicken salami had absolutely no taste at all. I was not very impressed.
The chocolate chip cookie we ordered was nice, though flakier than what I like. Taste-wise, good. They were also serving fresh lime water and I ordered one, which was extremely sweet. I couldn't even finish it! Apparantly, they use a Fun Foods mix which makes it the way it is. I think they were just covering up for the lime getting a little bitter as the day went by and added more sugar to envelope that taste.
However, thanks to the great pesto chicken, I really wanna try out their other items. The veggies were all fresh, so I have hopes from this place.
Menu Variety
Think of Subway. Almost the same stuff. Good for a sandwich joint.
Very, very good. The guy at the counter, Sarfraz, was well aware of everything about the products, the new branches that were opening, the challenges facing the joint and what people liked about it. He even told us how the myDala offer was not lucrative for them, but it was done as a promotional thing. He had an answer to every question we put up. You have one very good employee there, Torrp it Up!
The place looks like a salad and sandwich joint.Clean, white interiors with green and red splashes. The decor suits the kind of joint it is.
Value for money
Each wrap / sandwich / salad costs about Rs. 100 - 110 on an average. I would personally prefer going to a Subway. I like their salads and drinks more. I'd wanna come to this place for their wraps though. And the pesto chicken :)
Right opposite Infinity Mall, so you can grab something healthy after some shopping.
And in conclusion...
Go to this place for the pesto chicken wrap. Period!
May 25, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Thanks Alpana for the feedback we shall look into the salad bowl as suggested by you. I am glad you liked the food and would like to come back. we look forward to seeing you and serving you again. Thanks once again
Interesting Alternative to Subway
I've ordered from here twice - and they have top class, super quick delivery within the Link Road area.
They have a good variety in vegetarian torrps (which is like a sub, but has a proper six-inch slice of bread, rather than one sliced in half... it kind of makes the sanwich look more "complete" - rather than half-a-sandwich). Tried the Mushroom-Herb one and the Mediterranean veggie one - both were yum on Multi-Grain bread. The non-veggie ones are also nice - my friend ordered Thai Chicken.
The cookie is awful... very dry.
Will definitely order from here again. Might try one of the wraps next time.
It's a relief from the Infinity mall Subway - which is always crowded during lunch hour, with grouchy staff who don't pick up the phone and flies swarming at the counter.(Only the Infinity mall one, I still like other Subways)
May 23, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Dear Deepas thanks for the great review. Will look into the cookies as per you suggestion. I would also recommend that you try our wraps and my personal favorites are the Panner Tikka Makhani and also the Mediterranean. Look forward to hear your feedback on my recommendations. You can mail me on firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any other feedback. thanks

Has potential, but sadly doesn't work.
We went on a Saturday afternoon for a quick lunch. Just 2 of us, and obviously we were the only ones who were actually customers. They had some people who were "testing" drinks who were the top priority, and not us paying customers :).
Leaving that aside, a quick glance at the menu made us feel it was interesting. A "wrap" twist on Subway's offerings, plus I have always felt there need to be alternatives to Subway. So far so good. We decided to have wraps, soup, cookies and stay away from the sandwiches.
Asking for a recommendation at the counter was the first mistake. We kept asking for Thai chicken and Chicken Seekh, he kept suggesting the Pesto and CBLT. A quick glance at the menu and we understood why!! They were the most expensive :). Anyhow we decided to take one of our choice and one recommendation - Seekh & Pesto. The thing about premade Sauces (like Pesto), is that you cannot mix more sauces and still expect it to taste good. He suggested Mayo in the Pesto - and the wrap was a tasteless gooey mess. Wrong combo. The Seekh fared better - I asked for Mint Mayo, he suggested Chutney mayo. Not bad, but I still feel mint would have been better!! We asked for the non veg soup of the day - the answer was Tomato. Well that's hardly non-veg we said. We'll add chicken he said. Umm, ok we said. Tasteless soup with no salt/flavourings except a smoky taste which was nice. Needed some zing. The double chocolate chip cookie - crumbly, hard, artificial tasting cookie. Disappointing.
Really sad that they got this wrong. So much potential here. In busy Bombay, you don't get many second chances!!
May 23, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Dear Sir I am really sorry for what happened that afternoon I was personally present there at the time...I am really happy that you feel this has potential we will make sure that this service will not repeat. Sir the CBLT recommended to you is my personal favorite and therefore recommended it was not because of the price. Please do give us one more chance as we are new. Thanks for the great feedback
May 23,2010
highly disappointed...
To start wid..i've tried and had authentic burritos on my trip to US a couple of months back..so have been craving to have them somewhere in Mumbai. Since thr r very less places where you get them, i was happy to see a place which projected like it wud b somethin really good..
But as the copy cat review below says, they have tried to copy every bit of a subway store..the counter exactly looked d same and i was supershocked to see tht guy putting same things in a burrito. For God's sake a subway sandwich and burrito are two different thing and different things go into them. Google 'Burrito' and you'll find lots of recipes which will tell you how to cook authentic Burritos.
Second put off was the guy at the counter who took good 10 mins to give me the burrito. He was taking his own sweet time to make something that looked like a McDs wrap.
I also had d torrp of the day which was gud and d choice of multigrain bread was something really nice. But again look at d veggies that they put in ur sandwich at a subway..your torrps are jus more of bread and less of veggies.
May 23, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Dear Sir i am extremely sorry for not having met up to your expectation.. And with regards to the Copycat review I feel there is a large market for sandwich consumers and I don't feel every Sandwich joint should be compared to Subway. Sir if there is anything else you would like to suggest please email on email@example.com
May 23, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Thats d point...if there is such huge market, i wud appreciate something innovative which wud b tastier...ur torrps are jus d subways man...that too not properly made..very less veggies, sauces...i dont find a reason to come to ur place next time and not go to subway...
May 24, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Sir I am really sorry you feel this way about us..We would be happy to serve you again if given the chance and will make sure the burritos are looked into. Thanks

Torrp it Down! :(
Pls explain: How does a Pesto become Mayo?
I dared to venture beyond the standard Subway lunch and visited this place..
1) There was no parking -on the road or in the bldg..
2) Relentless, I decided on a takeaway. After taking my order and money..they forgot me completely and served 4 other people who came after me!
3) Their lemon ice tea was reasonably priced at Rs. 40, but I expected something fresh with mint or lemon..but all I got was a powdery drink..handshaken! If your gonna price it that high atleast get a Georgia Ice Tea & coffee machine! or use fresh ingredients!
4) When I was finally handed by brown bag...I reached home and discovered a mayo wrap instead of a pesto chicken wrap! Whats more in his hurry, the wrap was still raw in parts!
For the plus side: The menu looked very well chosen. Offers the consumer a real delite...that is if they can get the staff to serve right order! I wish this place luck!
May 22, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Dear lyfetymfoodie I am sorry for the long wait that you had i will have this taken up very seriously. Secondly thanks for commenting on the menu we will make sure that the staff get it right. Also the pesto is actually a creamy pesto. In any case i will look into this and make sure the same does not repeat.
Ok , so here is the real deal - I go to ths place with my Friends to grab a quick bite , & all I get is a really pathetic attitude from the staff , Pesto which wudnt be rated Pesto at all ...The Lettuce looked stale & Above everything else I really wish that these guys shud educate thier staff ??? I mean If I had to invest time in making someone understand my Order which he cudnt comprehend for over 15 mins ?? Id rather Go grab a Subway instead cuz atleast I know that Quality & Service is Ensured .. really Disappointed ...!! Educated staff & Quality management needs an Uplift --- horrid Experience --- ended up eating at Kailash Parbat !!!
May 20, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Dear Nivriti i am extremely sorry for what has happened and i assure you it will be taken up very seriously. Please do give us one more chance. I assure you that you will not face the same again. Thanks for bringing it to our notice.
Hi im sorry but when i see a new place come up i dont expect it to be a subway WANNA BE.
Cant people be original please.
Also i have a small complain regarding the veggies used not being fresh at all!
if you want to copy subway so much, maybe you should take a leaf out of their book and make sure that at least the food you serve is FRESH!
May 18, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Dear Tashu we have no intention of being a subway our menu offering is very diffrent as compared to Subway. I don't remeber eating any wraps in subway and we feel there needs to be variety and choice in the sandwich market. We want to expand the horizons of the word sandwich. Thanks for your feedback
May 13,2010
Good food
Have been here twice, sandwiches are good much better than subway. I have tried Veg pesto torrp and soy patti torrp, loved soy patti torrp. Veg pesto torrp lacked veges and pesto too, didn't taste like pesto at all. They need to cut veges fresh, have noticed there lettuce is brown instead of green both times, cucumbers looked stale. Good options of breads available.
May 13, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Dear hellolata thanks for your feedback we will make sure that the vegetables are fresh. We can assure you we are chopping the vegetable every morning but will still look into the same.If you have any other recommendations or queries please feel free to contact me on email@example.com
May 13,2010
Keep it up
After a hectic day went to this place last night and had one Spicy tofu torrp in Multi grain bread and one Veg pesto in Herb Garlic.
It was damn good much better then subway. Only thing is their lettuce doesn't seems to be fresh as its color changed from green to brown.
Good place for a Quick bite and not heavy on the pocket and on good thing is they have different sections fro Veg and Non-Veg Sandwiches.
Would like to go their again.
May 13, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
Thanks a lot for the comments..I will look into the lettuce and make sure this problem doesn't happen again...hope to serve you again soon..
Average Taste but Innovative
Great new items on the menu...especially the wraps ..welcome change from the strait jacketed choices offered at other similar eateries....taste was not out of this world but staff attitude and presentation + price more than made up. Good place to snack for 'health on a budget' types. Only one outlet in Mumbai :(
May 11, 2010response from management at Torrp It Up:
I am really sorry for the taste not being up to your expectation, please could you let us know what you had and what was wrong as we would work on the same and hopefully meet your expectation. If your have any other suggestions please feel to contact me on firstname.lastname@example.com

A better alternative to Subway
I have been quite disappointed with varying standards of subway outlets across the city. Why is it so hard to get the right baked bread with freshly cut vegetables and the apt sauce and serve with the basic smile and politeness? IMO, not all subways fulfil this basic requirement.
Move over to Torrp it Up. It new, its private franchise and hence the owners are visibly putting a lot of stress on the basic requirements of a food goer. From wraps, to grilled sandwiches (torrp in thier lingo), to salads and soups - thier target market seems enormous. Located bang opposite Infinity mall, its also easily accessible.
Now moving onto thier food. We tried a bunch of thier wraps and torrps. The spicy tofu as recommendd previously was decent in a torrp. The paneer wrap was average but what stood the best was the meditterean wrap. It was awesome. The soup of the day was cream soup and it was again top notch.
As expected, being a new place the service was attentive and brisk along with a v polite staff. A good heavy meal with 3-4 wraps and soup costed us about 600 bucks which was total VFM. Next time i crave for sandwiches, i will def opt for Torrp it Up rather than Subway.

I am seriously upset with the Post and Couriers proclivity for publishing letters from writers who wail and gnash their teeth regarding the concealed carry laws in South Carolina. The letter writers seem obsessed with promoting the viewpoint that the Palmetto State is advocating a Wild West society when in fact the records are clear that the only cowboys brandishing handguns in a shoot first, ask questions later fashion are the police officers who have managed to shoot citizens on an average of one per week for the last year.
Cane-carrying septuagenarians and senior citizens in their own driveways appear to be convenient targets for the Oakley-sunglass-wearing, pistol-packing deputies who ride the range in this state, not the tax-paying public who carry their weapons in defense of their persons and property.
Mark R. Shields
Mount Pleasant
I have just read an article about six extraordinary and concerned Republicans who are willing to put their money where their mouth is and are willing to run against an incumbent senator in South Carolina.
They all echo the same story about incumbent Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been in office too long and has forgotten that he is a senator from South Carolina and not first-in-command in this country. He demonstrates his aloofness to his constituency by declining the Posts request to even comment on his opponents concerns over his stand on many issues that cause concern among people in South Carolina.
Unfortunately, the old divide and conquer theory will hold true; dividing dissenting votes among six candidates will, most likely, insure his nomination as the Republican candidate for the Senate. It is a shame that these six candidates cannot or could not come to some kind of agreement that they all are running in the primary for essentially the same reason and find one of them to focus all of their energies on to unseat a senator who seems to have lost his way once he left South Carolina and became part of the problematic D.C. asylum.

As of Thursday, September 15, 2011

ALBANY -- K.H. (Kent) Ricker's been an on-again, off-again poet since he was 13. It was a couple of years ago that he returned his focus to the craft he loves.
Ricker's reacquaintance with poetry coincided with what he saw as a growing indifference toward the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania in particular, and significant recent historical events in general.
So he responded the best way he knew how -- with a poem about the significance of that fateful day. Ricker's work -- "After the Evanescing: Reflections of 9/11" -- is currently on display at a local business, and it will be part of American Legion Post 30's 10-year 9/11 tribute planned for Saturday.
"There have been a lot of wildly sentimental and very dark poems written about 9/11, but that's not what I wanted to do," Ricker, a medical surgical nurse at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, said. "I wanted to do a reflective piece, a poem that would register with this generation's remembrance of this significant event in our history and examine the healing process we went through."
The local poet said the 70-line poem came to him in "bits and pieces" as he worked on "After the Evanescence: Reflections of 9/11" over a three-week to monthlong period. In addition to the terrorist attacks, the poem addresses other landmark events in American history.
"We all remember where we were on 9/11, when Challenger blew up, when JFK was shot, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor," Ricker, the father of two sons, said. "I wanted this generation to understand the significance of this event.
"I didn't have friends who died in the terrorist attacks, but I had friends of friends who did. There just seemed to be a general sense of a lack of remembrance in our country. I wanted to address that."
A copy of "After the Evanescence" is on display at Hadden's Flowers & Gifts at 2401 Westgate Drive. Ricker said he would also like to present a copy of the poem to leaders at Marine Corps Logistics Base-Albany.

With Tome's record, it would seem the 31-year old Brazilian could afford a loss. However, he's dropped both of his bouts in the UFC. If he wasn't a flyweight or the division was deeper, he'd probably be at risk of release right now based on both defeats coming by way of TKO. With a "must win" fight on the horizon, expect Tome to get an opponent in a similar position such as Jussier Formiga or Louis Guadinot.
There's never a good time to lose a fight. However, some defeats aren't as devastating as others or have potential to affect an individual's employment, so in that regard certain stumbles stand out. Such is the case with every event including Saturday night's lineup for UFC Fight Night 32. (Photos by USA Today Sports Images)

What Every Physician Needs to Know About Child Abuse
Every year in the United States more than 3 million children are reported neglected, battered or sexually abused. But actual incidence of child abuse is three times as high, say many pediatric experts.
As a pediatrician or internist, it's certain you'll treat children victimized by violence. But will you recognize their symptoms as abuse?
Will you be able to identify child abuse's subtle, ambiguous presentations and plausible explanations?
And will you feel confident managing abuse's wide spectrum of medical, ethical, psychosocial, familial and legal complexities?
Medical Training Overview
At Butler Center you'll find the comprehensive training you need to treat child victims of neglect and sexual and physical abuse.
Supported by the world-class medical and research resources of Montefiore Medical Center, Butler Center has trained more than 1,000 residents in pediatric forensic medicine.

Hoping to Captur the market
Posted: May 03, 2013|
J UST weeks after launching its brilliant new Clio, Renault is opening the order books for another all-new model with its first ever contender in the rapidly growing market for supermini-based cross-over vehicles.
The Captur is based on the Clio and will be competing against the Nissan Juke, MINI Countryman and the slightly larger Chevrolet Trax and Vauxhall Mokka, as well as models from Ford, Fiat and Peugeot, which will join the fray soon.
In addition to its Clio underpinnings, which should guarantee excellent road manners, the Captur also leads the way on price with the entry level car coming in at £12,495 on the road which undercuts the current class top-seller by £500.
It will also offer customers an unprecedented palette of options to dip into so they can personalise their vehicle but already comes with excellent specification.
Given that Renault effectively invented the MPV market with the first Scenic it is no surprise that the Captur also has an ingeniously designed interior.
It has one of the biggest boots in the category and this is a dual height affair which means that valuables can be hidden from prying eyes or it can be reconfigured to take taller items.
The boot floor is also reversible, carpeted on one side and with rubber on the other so you can load muddy items without dirtying the interior.
There are four trim levels with the best seller expected to be the Dynamique MediaNav which has zipped seat covers which can be simply wiped or washed or replaced to freshen up the interior come resale time.
It has personalisation options in the form of a chrome Colour Pack for both the interior and exterior covering the headlight surrounds and tailgate strip, plus centre console, air vent and gearlever gaiter surrounds among others.
And as its name suggests, it features MediaNav which is Renault's integrated multimedia tablet with seven-inch touchscreen, including Navteq Nav 'n' Go satellite navigation, 4x20W Arkamys radio, Bluetooth, USB and hands free technology.
Customers will be able to dip into various themed options packs which provide everything from decals, interior and exterior trim highlights, parking aids, heated front seats, the R-Link system that includes enhanced sat nav and even a roof painted in a different colour to the rest of the car.
Powering Renault's latest creation are three turbo engines including the all-new 1.2 TCe.
Joining it are the 0.9 TCe 90 and 1.5 dCi diesel.
An EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch) version of the dCi 90 will follow later this year. Improving fuel economy and helping to drive down emissions still further, Stop&Start is standard on every manual.
Returning more than 75 mpg and emitting just 95 g/km of CO2 the diesel also sits snuggly under the 100g/km VED band so there is no road tax to pay.
It will be in the showrooms from July 1.

Durham, N.H.-Three University of New Hampshire women's ice hockey players were named to the ECAC Honor Roll Monday for their efforts in the 7-0 win over Maine Saturday. Senior forwards Carisa Zaban (Glenview, Ill.) and Samantha Holmes (Mississauga, Ont.) and freshman goaltender Jen Huggon (Plymouth, Mass.) earned ECAC honor roll honors.
Zaban recorded a hat trick Saturday, with all of her goals coming in the second period. She also added an assist in the third period for a four point performance. Zaban tied the school record for goals in a period, a record which she now shares with five other players. Her goals were at even strength, on the power play and shorthanded.
Holmes scored two goals in the second period and added another goal in the third for her second hat trick of the season.
Huggon recorded her second shutout of the season with 26 saves. She currently holds a .942 save percentage, a 1.32 goals against average with a 7-1-0 record.
The women's ice hockey team hosts Ohio State University on January 1 at 7 p.m. The two teams will meet again on January 2 at 2 p.m.

Practice Report: Monday, July 9
Mark Remme
Lynx Editor/Writer
Email / Twitter
The Minnesota Lynx moved at a brisk pace during Mondays practice at LifeTime Fitness Training Center, working on their offensive timing and schemes before hopping on their flight to Tulsa for tomorrows 11:30 a.m. game against the Shock.
Now in the midst of a three-game losing streak, the Lynx are looking to respond with a pair of wins against Tulsa before heading into the leagues month-long hiatus. On Monday, the squad looked focused and prepared to get back on track as soon as possible. Coach Cheryl Reeves message to her club was simple: Minnesota showed its ability to take over a game during its 20-4 second half run against the Connecticut Sun on Saturday, but the Lynx need to play with that same sense of urgency for 40 minutes.
But if theyre going to return to form against the Shock, theyll need to do it with a smaller lineup. Forward Rebekkah Brunson will miss the next two games with a left calf sprain suffered during Saturdays loss to Connecticut. She joins injured center Jess Adair (right knee) and forward Devereaux Peters (broken left hand), meaning three pivotal parts of the teams front court are currently unavailable.
The team did sign guard/forward Julie Wojta to a week-long contract, as league rules permit a 12th roster spot if three players are unavailable.
As for filling Brunsons spot in the starting lineup, coach Cheryl Reeve said the team will move Maya Moore from the small forward position over to the power forward slot. Guard Monica Wright will move into the small forward rolea move Reeve said isnt a big change from the norm.
Our perimeter players, we dont define them as 1s and 2s and 3s. They all do the same thing, Reeve said. But Monnie has played the three very often for us, so thats nothing new at the perimeter. The biggest difference is Maya wont be at the 3 very much.
But Brunson is more than simply the teams starting power forward. Shes a seasoned veteran who has become a pivotal part of the teams defensive identity. She clogs up the lane when opposing perimeter players drive to the lane and plays bruising defense against the oppositions front court on a nightly basis.
On the stat sheet, Brunson is responsible for 11.1 points and 8.5 rebounds per game for the Lynx this season. Reeve said forward Amber Harris will be called upon to step in during the absence of Brunson, Peters and Adair.
When the team goes small, she said Minnesota will have the advantage of spreading the floor hand having a collection of ball handlers who can make things happen offensively. The drawback is their presence on the boards.
Were preparing for, we have to make up for the lack of some bigs, Reeve said. We have to play small ball, which is kind of fun. We just need to make sure we can rebound the thing. Thats the biggest area of concern.
Minnesota is facing a Tulsa squad that is 3-13 and last in the Western Conference, but the Shock are 3-7 in their last 10 games and are coming off a 78-62 win over Washington on Sunday. The Lynx beat the Shock 93-73 on June 9 in Tulsa.
That game, the Lynx had five players who scored in double figures, including 15 from Brunson. How will Minnesota make up for her absence on Tuesday and Thursday?
Well see tomorrow, Reeve said.

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that after a preliminary hearing on January 19, 2012, Winnebago County Circuit Court Commissioner John Kuech found probable cause and bound over for trial Kenneth S. Shong, who's charged with a single count of "Fraudulent Writings," a felony offense contrary to section 943.39(2) of the Wisconsin Statutes. An arraignment is scheduled for February 10, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. in Winnebago County Circuit Court.
According to the criminal complaint, Shong is charged with a single count of "Fraudulent Writings," a felony offense contrary to section 943.39(2) of the Wisconsin Statutes.
The complaint alleges that Shong was an inmate in the Oshkosh Correctional Institution in 2006 when he encouraged another inmate to enroll in "Carlingford University." Shong allegedly made representations to the inmate about the legitimacy of "Carlingford University" as a degree granting institution and provided the inmate with written information regarding the "University." Based on those representations, the inmate did enroll in a "Carlingford University" course of study and arranged for his mother to send a tuition payment by postal money order to a post office box in Mobile, Alabama. Investigation revealed that the post office box in Mobile, Alabama, was identified in Carlingford correspondence as the base for Carlingford University's "Office of External Studies, North American Division." The inmate and his mother later learned that representations made by Shong regarding the legitimacy of "Carlingford University" as a degree granting institution were untrue and the inmate made a complaint to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) in August, 2008. That complaint was eventually forwarded to the DOJ.
The Wisconsin Department of Corrections (DOC) staff at the Racine Correctional Institution also became suspicious of Shong's activities from that prison after he had been transferred there in the fall of 2007. DOC staff conducted an investigation and forwarded information to the Wisconsin Educational Approval Board (EAB) in the fall of 2008 questioning whether Shong was operating an unauthorized and fraudulent "university" in Wisconsin. The EAB investigated, determined that "Carlingford" did appear to be operating within Wisconsin without necessary approval, and issued a "cease and desist" order to "Carlingford University" at what was purported on its then-existing website to be its Green Bay "Regional Training Center." The EAB also forwarded a request for investigation to the DOJ.
An investigation has been conducted by the DOJ Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and is ongoing. The DCI investigation was aided by the information developed by the Wisconsin DOC and EAB.
The State is represented in this prosecution by Assistant Attorneys General Michael G. Schaefer and Phillip Ferris, at the request of the Winnebago County District Attorney's Office. The DOJ Office of Crime Victim Services is assisting the prosecutors.
The complaint contains only the State's allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. The State bears the burden of proving the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

We are sad to say goodbye to the very special person that he was.

With warmest regards,

The New York Times continues its assault on Scott Boras
Nov 29, 2010, 11:20 PM EDT
Earlier today Keith Law posted his analysis of the relevant MLBPA rules regarding agents making loans to players and found nothing that would appear to make the loan Scott Boras made to Braves' prospect Edward Salcedo improper. This followed Scott Boras' explanation of the loan and rather convincing (in my view) denial that anything improper took place. This also followed a week during which I hashed out the issue and, like Law and Boras, struggled to find any problem with the loan whatsoever. Case closed?
Hardly. In Tuesday's New York Times — published to the web this evening — Michael S. Schmidt writes about the "scandal" as if no one has questioned his initial report. Indeed, he writes it as if he has conducted no additional research into the matter at all. The story: last week Major League Baseball sent a letter to the union asking it to determine if Boras broke any rules. There is no mention of what possible rules were broken. There is no new information other than the fact the letter was sent seven days ago. A letter which we all knew would be sent last week when, in Schmidt's original story, anonymous Major League Baseball officials voiced concern. The letter is just another means of concern-voicing.
But there is plenty of additional hand-wringing. There is the obligatory "these allegations come at a time," sentence, which is a time-tested way to cast something in a negative light when there are no actual connections between the complained-of activity and some perceived evil. There's the obligatory "the loans raised questions" sentence, when in fact, no one who has yet identified themselves by name has raised a question, let alone identified a violation of any rule or ethical norm. Seriously: someone name a rule Boras has violated. MLB-source guy: name the rule. Schmidt: report what rules you think were violated. Because thus far, there's nothing.
I carry no brief for Scott Boras, but this is starting to look like a witch hunt. This latest story completely ignores Law's analysis of the rules in question. It puts out a single piece of information — the letter — that is a week old and essentially meaningless. It quotes numerous agents who happen to compete for business with Scott Boras and whose interest would be served by having his reputation damaged, all waxing disapprovingly of the loan and saying how they themselves would never do such a thing. Of course, none of them suggest that the loan was improper either.
I found Schmidt's initial report on the Boras-Salcedo loan to be interesting but slight. In light of what we've learned about the loans in the past week, however, I am more firmly convinced than I ever have been that there is no story here at all. Or rather, not the story that the Times is struggling to tell. Rather, this is a story about an all-out assault on Scott Boras. And unless someone can point to a single rule that was broken, it's one that needs to cease now.

Calcuterra: "What makes you think he's a witch?"
Schmidt: "He turned me into a newt!"
Calcuterra: "A newt?"
Schmidt: "I got better…"
Other Agents: "BURN HIM!!!"

I sent Boras an email to see if he could lend me twenty bucks to buy some smokes. Thus far, no response. Scandal? No. But very, very rude.
- Jonny 5 - Nov 30, 2010 at 8:23 AM
"Rather, this is a story about an all-out assault on Scott Boras. And unless someone can point to a single rule that was broken, it's one that needs to cease now."
Silly, silly, Man. The Media will villify and assault who they want, when they want. And nobody will do a damn thing about it. We are living in an era here where something as important as the oval office can be won or lost through an all out media Bitzkrieg. Every political position uses this method. Until "Journalists" are held accountable for the lies they spew, or "non-issues" they throw gas and a match on, this will continue, unabated.

I'm going to run up behind Scott Boras, kick him in the ass, and then run away. The Times will hide me.

You could also pretend you interviewed him and say he admitted to being the anti-Christ. We know for a fact NYT will give you some run there.

Bony ass dias from Frenchglen. Wind howling last night, now lo of 27*. John who runs the old hotel kindly let me set up on the lawn!
Coldest morning yet @ 28*. Frost on the tarp, but I slept warm and cozy. Rode all day until 11:AM before taking tights and all my warmies off. Lucked out in Crane, OR at the highschool. The shoolmaster let me do laundry and take a shower there. I really needed to have clean bike shorts. I cruised on from here to the small store in Buchanon. I topped off all my water bottles here and had a quick snack. I called it a day an hour early, but that worked out good as I was able to sleep in the gravel shed shed again. I walked to the back of the shed and my campsite I had leveled from last fall was still there untouched.

Madeline Dukes has two work areas outside in nature and inside in her studio.
Although, I complete most work within my studio, I employ an interactive process of observation in nature to capture color, form and, most importantly, light, Dukes said in her artists statement. For me, this is where the painting begins outside or from life.
Duke, an artist from North Charleston, will exhibit her primarily oil-based paintings at her Hidden Vistas exhibit at the USC Aiken Etherredge Center until Feb. 24.
Creeks, clouds, trees, interiors and people center most of Dukes works.
When constructing, she seeks a connection and a personality between the works focus and its surroundings.
I am fascinated by the movement between the subject and its environment, she said in her statement. Nothing is still. Something kinetic is always going on between the two.
Toni Jerome, Re-Fresh store owner, has been representing Dukes for three years and has loved showing her work.
Shes a wonderful young artist, she said. She uses the most beautiful colors (and) realistic subjects. Its so worth being seen.
One day last week, Jerome hung one of Dukes paintings in her store window, and the next morning, someone came by and bought it.
People totally react to her work, Jerome said. Other artists are drawn to her work. They say, Who is this? Tell me about this artist. Shes very respected.
Dukes graduated from Winthrop University in Rock Hill, where she studied studio art and political science, according to her website.
Her work has shown across North and South Carolina, winning several awards and appearing in publications.
For more information on the exhibit, call 648-3893. For more information on Dukes, visit www.madelinedukes.com.
