But help is at hand. Enter the AM Pillow 4:3 Phone and Tablet cleaner in high dudgeon, well in a black and blue blister pack in fact. This interesting package offers cleansing goodness for your devices in a neat and handy package. Inside the box is a pen-sized vial of cleaning fluid with a spray top and a dual-sided cloth padded out to become a small pillow. The ratio of the pillow dimensions is in fact 4:3, which rather beggars the question in these modern times why it isn't widescreen? What we have here is a spray cleaning fluid and a dual sided padded cloth, slightly coarse on one side and finished in microfiber the other.
The spray vial is easy enough to use and the liquid content is clear and has very little odour. It is not as volatile as some cleaners and sprayed on the back of the hand it takes a good couple of minutes to evaporate off. Given that this will almost certainly be used on a warm screen (despite the manual saying to turn off the screen and let it cool) I suspect this cleaner might offer many more seconds of cleaning effectiveness than some of the higher alcohol based cleaners.
I had to eat a whole pack of Pringles for this review to ensure I had really greasy fingers before surfing the web on an iPhone 4S and an iPad3. I spilled a drop of Guinness on the screen of each and rubbed it around to further soil the screen.
The manual suggests one or two sprays and from past experience of more volatile cleaners this is rarely enough to make the whole screen damp for long enough to remove the grease. However to my surprise the AM fluid did an admirable job with just two quick quirts on the iPad and one solid spray on the phone. The fluid remains moist long enough to engage the rougher side of the cloth for removal of sticky solids and still have time to polish the glass with the microfibre side without it drying up.
Looking into the mirror surface of the iPad made me realise just how much digit-grease one carries about on the screen under normal circumstances. The AM system had left it almost spotless with just a few swirly smears. I tried buffed these off with the microfiber cloth.
The strangely titled Pillow 4:3 cleaner from AM is pretty good and despite what looks like very little fluid in the vial it does go a long way and produces a good, and apparently bacteria free, clean. The spray bottle has a pen top to stick in your top pocket for al-fresco random cleaning tasks throughout the day and the pillow concept is as good as it is strange. The spray top can be a little fiddly and you need to concentrate on which way it is pointing. The one time I got it wrong and sprayed it straight back in my eyes I can assure it really, really, hurt. Otherwise, a great buy.
AM cleaners are available on eBay.

the point of the story is that the burgers were left behind. Nobody even cares, or asks what happen to the burgers. Did somebody else eat them? Did they throw them away? It's not about football. There are more important things that football.
They should consider Lane K. - he seems to be able to switch around fairly easily. He could do it for the coming year, and then go to the next school after that. Also, he does not ride motorcycles.
doesn't this terrible misfortune actually now qualify Bobby P. to run for President of the United States of America?
The trees will be dead from the poison, if the experts are correct. I think that they should have a gigantic bon-fire, bigger than anything on record anywhere, including Texas, and sacrifice those two magnificant trees to the Great Tree gods, and then take the ashes and sprinkle them in the Great Waters of the State of Alabama, forever. Soon there will two new vibrant young strong trees planted there, and the tradition will live on. And when those trees die of old age, 100+ years from now, they can plant some more. Remember, we aren't talking about some bronze statue, or stainless steel plaque somewhere. These are living monuments to the heart and soul of tradition at Auburn University. Whether they are rolled every Saturday night, or never again, cannot take away from their importance to the students, faculity, alumni, and all who cherish their favorite school and team.
I got stuck on that same log about 2 or 3 years ago. In a canoe, though - not a kayak. Got wedged against the log and couldn't get out. I had to swim to shore and call the rescuers. Bummer. I hope the guy is OK. Young people always have to learn the hard way. How old was he?
There are some things that are more important than money. Read your history. What you seem to be concerned with is only money, not the issues of the law of the United States, or any one state.
Simba, koomba
If and when those majestic oaks die from the poison, remove them along with all the bad soil, and plant 2 oaks from the acorns of those trees. When they die, some time in the future, replace them. Nothing lives forever except the tradition. How many Eagles have flown in Cliff-Hare?
also, there is a cell phone tower in Homewood, Alabama, just off I-65 & Lakeshore Blvd., that was made to look just like a pine tree (NIMBY's) - it is really hard to pick it out from all the other real pines there. But when all those real trees eventually die off, it will be easy to pick out the true fake. It will be the only tall tree that resembles a cell tower!
when Alabama plays LSU again, it will be another "squeeker", probably by 4 points, or less - Whomever wins. That's like kissing your sister, when 2 defenses battle to basically what turns out to be two "almost TIES". Why not throw them Cow-dudes in to the rodeo and see how they do against a REAL football team, from the REAL South. Or you could combine the teams of Ala. and Ok. State - to see if their "combo" can stop LSU, and their weird coach from eating up all the turf. That action should really be some kind of penalty - tampering with the field of play, or something. By the way, they spray that turf with herbicide very often - to kill all the NUTgrass! In the end - LSU in a yawner.
Auburn was fortunate to have the Caminator last year. And he was fortunate to be at Auburn, with that good, experienced O-line, and D. Adams to catch a few passes. We'll always cherish the contribution that both made (just wish Adams had stayed 1 more year). I hope they both make it in NFL for many years. He will get the passing record, hands down.
TR's running skills are the essence of the game of football. No matter how many passes are thrown, you have to be able to RUN with a ball in your hands. The game evolved from Rugby, where everyone knows about the scrum - where it is manpower vs. manpower. That is what TR is all about - Manpower. He can just juke and out-manuever you - but unlike many others, like Shawn Alexander, Mark Ingram, or even Bo Jackson, all who are or were powerful runners, TR has the ability to establish himself at the point of contact so that he can convert from a running back into a bulldozer, (with that added ability to also revert to mis-direction, i.e. Ole Miss game, amongst others). If UA's O-line will be ready, they should give him more chances vs. LSU to do his thing. If they mix it up early, then go to TR when they get rolling, and throw off of the run - they will not only out perform, but this time, also outscore, by a margin. P.S. - go Aubie - win that National Champion mascot thing!
I never say never, but I think the score will be about 48 to 0 - not saying who. I hope each player on the field plays to his fullest potential and limit, without injuries. May the best TEAM win, and go on to better things. WDE
Yes, we have had some porous games - but now it's time to step up - and I think we will build an Iron Wall against UAT. We'll knock TR out of the race - he won't get 50 yards. We'll show him that we can tackle if we have a mind to. Final score 21-20 AU!!!!!!!!
If Bama has enough explosive plays, the time won't even matter. Maze, TR, Fowler, Williams - on 20, 30, 40 yard plays is what's going to win this game. IF LSU can pass, they have a chance - don't really think that's happening. More likely, with pressure, Lee will loft some easy picks. 28-7, Bama
I hope TR drags them out of the end-zone. There is nothing better in the game of football than to see a runner bull-dozer his way for 5 or 10 extra yards. If you remember William Andrews of Auburn, he was a good B-dozer. Played at Atlanta the same way, until he wrecked his knee. That is the essence of the game: The unstoppable object against the immovable force. I hope TR jukes and finds holes - but mostly runs over LSU like a duece and a half. Drag them down the field. This should be his Heisman game - wrap it up Sat. night.
if we would just make one State Ok to allow illegals (Mexican, or any Others), and send them all there to work and prosper - then we could see if they will make it a better place to live. Maybe, then - if it works out - you could make that State a seperate entity, like a Mex-America, and it would be the go-between for those going in either direction. Then, when it gets so bad in USA that Americans start to slip across the other way to find work, they could go thru Mex-America - stay a bit, untill they learn the language, then go to Mexico city and find a job in a big bank, or for the Mexican gov't, or in a Mexican restaurant. Maybe make all the States that touch Mexico the Mex-America state, with its own Presidente, and Mex-American army, navy, air force and marines, in case there are any protests in the big cities against banks, gov't. and restaurants. [Just my 2c worth]
Lets hope Samford doesn't pull a "Utah State"!
Everyone around me in the stadium was yelling "look out for the fake field goal" - didn't the coaches and players hear us? They looked inept - and not just on that play, which we were lucky didn't nail the coffin shut. I am proud of the team, nontheless, for what they did after that. But Sat's. kind of playing will catch up with you real fast. Auburn has to be ready for every single game they play, even Samford - and hope those freshmen grow up real fast this year. We have a great corps of receivers - lets use them abundantly.
Roll Eagle, oops I meant War Eagle. Just wait till next year!
I just hope that the real IB doesn't turn into a knitting bee. It does tend to get over the top, but let's not get too friendly. Just good old football rivalry, like it used to be. And no more lop-sided blow-outs. That is no fun, and really not fair. One point, come-from-behinds are much more thrilling and breath-taking. I hope both teams do really well this year, and come into IB, both undefeated.

DURHAM, N.H. - The University of New Hampshire men's hockey program has announced that junior forwards Steve Saviano (Reading, Mass.) and Patrick Foley (Milton, Mass.) will serve as co-captains for the 2003-2004 season. Junior goaltender Mike Ayers (Hingham, Mass.) took home Most Valuable Player honors at the annual team banquet held on Saturday, April 19th at the Whittemore Center Arena.
UNH hockey will have co-captains for the first time since 1999-2000, when former Wildcats Mike Souza and Dan Enders shared the duties for the 'Cats. Foley, only the third junior captain in school history, along with Saviano make up the strong senior leadership presence for the Wildcats next season. Saviano, who was tabbed as the Ted Karmeris Fan Favorite and the Bob Kullen Unsung Hero, recorded 39 points which ranked third on the 'Cats squad, while classmate Foley registered 8 goals and10 assists for 18 points.
Ayers, a Second-Team All-America selection and the Co-Hockey East Player of the Year, was named the Roger A. LeClerc MVP of the 2002-2003 season. He finished the season with a 27-8-6 record (2.18 GAA, .926 save%), while shattering the Wildcat single-season record book for wins, minutes (2499), saves (1139), save percentage and shutouts (7). Ayers also tied the school record for career shutouts with eight and ranked second in the nation in saves. Ayers also finished third in GAA and save percentage among the Div. I leaderboard.
Senior forward Lanny Gare (Vernon, B.C.) received the Guy Smith Best Offensive Player Award, as well as the Warren Brown Best Defensive Forward Award. Gare, a Second-Team All-America selection and a First-Team Hockey East All-Star, tallied a single-season and team-high 51 points in his senior campaign. He ranked 16th in the nation in points and 22nd in points per game a 1.27.
Sophomore forward Preston Callander (Regina, Sask.) earned Most Improved Player honors this season with a 29 point effort in his second season as a Wildcat, more than doubling his point total of 12 points from his freshman year.
Junior Mike Lubesnick (Northbrook, Ill.) was the recipient of the Rod Langway Best Defenseman Award, while senior defenseman Kevin Truelson (Avon, Mass.) received the Charles Holt Coaches Award. Sophomore forward Matt Hoppe (E. Lansing, Mich.) earned the Sid Knight Award, which is given to the Wildcat player with highest grade point average. Lubesnick posted a career single-season high of 13 points in 2002-2003, which ranked second among Wildcat defenders, while playing in 41 of UNH's 42 games. Truelson, one of two senior blueliners on the 'Cats squad, notched 10 points in 35 games.
Junior captain Ben Eaves of the Boston College men's hockey team was selected as the Most Worthy Opponent as voted on by the Wildcat players.
UNH finished the season with a 28-8-6 record and a 15-5-4 record in league play. The Wildcats made their second national title game appearance in school history and earned a trip to the Frozen Four for the fourth time in the last six years. UNH also won the Hockey East regular-season and tournament title for the second straight season, which marked the first Hockey East team to accomplish that feat since Boston University in 1994 and 1995.

In Illustrator CS5 Web and Interactive Design, Mordy Golding shows how to create pixel-perfect graphics for use in web sites, video compositions, and mobile apps. This course covers a wide range of workflows, from creating online ad campaigns, web sites, icons, to taking art from Illustrator to Flash Professional. Sharing tips, tricks, and creative techniques along the way, Mordy provides insight and instruction for taking projects from initial concept straight through to production. Exercise files accompany the course.
In the beginning of this chapter, I had mentioned that this feature called Save for Web actually originated as a full application called ImageReady, but that Adobe converted it basically to some kind of a plug-in that works within several of its design applications, for example Illustrator and Photoshop. Well in this movie specifically, we're going to start to see a lot of those kinds of settings and features that really show that Save for Web is a full-blown application. Now, in this case here I have a file open, it's called page_design.ai and you can see that I've already designed this web page, and I'm now ready to actually save all this information.
So I want to go to the different settings that you can find inside of Save for Web & Devices. I'm going to go to the File menu. I'm going to choose Save for Web & Devices. That brings up a dialog box here and let's say I have already specified all the proper settings for my slices. So now I'm ready to go ahead and click on the Save button. That brings up the Save Optimized As dialog box. It looks pretty innocent on its own. But there are three pop-up menus down here that kind of change everything. First of all, where it says Format, you can choose to export just the images, you can choose to export only the HTML, or you can actually export a full page that contains both HTML and also all the necessary images for it.
Now depending on your workflow and where you're actually taking this content after you leave Illustrator, we'll determine which of these settings work best for you. For now I'm going to leave it set to Images Only, but as you go through the additional training that we'll find throughout this entire video title, we're going to learn about using a variety of these different settings and we'll see when they all make sense. If we come to the bottom menu over here where it says Slices, I can choose to export all the slices in my document, only Selected Slices or else we'll learn about later on in another chapter when we focus more about slices specifically, w e have the ability to export just the User Slices.
This actually gives us a tremendous amount of a control around how our artwork is actually exported out of Illustrator. You know there are some times where we have slices that have content that we need, where it's sometimes there're certain slices that are just not necessary. So we'll see that we can easily have Illustrator export just the slices that we need. For now I'm going to choose Selected Slices. And then I'll come to this middle pop-up, and this is really where things change. Right now it says Settings, Default Settings. But if I click on this pop-up and I choose Other, that actually opens up an entire new dialog box called Output Settings.
Notice, by the way, this is kind of interesting from a user interface perspective. I was in Illustrator and I chose File > Save for Web & Devices and that brought up to Save for Web & Devices dialog box, which is this big window. I then clicked on Save, which brings up the Save Optimized As dialog box. Then I click on this Other option, which brings me to yet a third dialog box. So we've seen that that we have all these kind of nested modal dialog boxes that we're working with, and this really shows that this is a full application that Adobe just kind of stuck here into Illustrator, and we have a tremendous amount of power here to work with as well.
You can see from this pop-up over here that we have four separate things to kind of think about. How we want HTML to be written when saved out of Illustrator, how we want our slices to be saved, how we treat background images and also how we ultimately want to save our files. So let's take a look at all these settings right here. First of all, in the HTML page we have the ability to Output XHTML. This is actually going to be useful when you want to export CSS also from Illustrator. For now I'm going to leave it unchecked, and we'll see that we have a variety of different ways to format the HTML as well.
You know some companies or some developers are very specific about how the code should be written, and this gives us the ability to choose how the tags are written: all lowercase, mixed case or all uppercase, for example. We have the ability to choose a variety of different ways to indent the text or the code that the Illustrator creates, and if we come to the bottom, we can also see that Illustrator, for example, always include comments, include Alt attributes, so on and so forth. If we go to the next tab right over here called Slices, we'll see that we can actually export our slices as a table using HTML, which is kind of the old way of doing things. Or we can actually generate CSS, which is the newer and preferred way of doing things.
In fact, later on in this video training title we'll discuss specifically how to take the CSS that's written by Illustrator and bring that into Dreamweaver. You also can choose the exact way that Illustrator actually names the slices. By the way, this is only going to come into play if you don't go ahead and manually name your slices. But we had already discussed that if you do name your slices, then you can actually control that so this would not come into play. However, if you kind of leave those fields blank, Illustrator will automatically name the slices based on the way that things are listed right here.
Let's go to the next tab over here, where it says Background, and we'll see that we have the ability to choose a path for an image that might be used as the background for this HTML page. Finally, we also have a setting here called Saving Files and this allows us to specifically control how Illustrator save these files. For example, we can choose File Naming here, which I find somewhat interesting because we have settings here, for example, like trigger name or rollover state and wouldn't you believe it, the Illustrator program has no ability to create rollovers.
This is obviously here because, like I said before, this used to be a program called ImageReady and the same code or the same plug-in is actually shared with Photoshop, which does support rollovers. So that's why these settings are here. Still you have complete control over how these files are named. You can choose Filename Compatibility, which I usually set to Unix because nine times out of ten, the web servers that I'm using are Unix-based. And then you can choose exactly where your optimized files are saved. Now by default Illustrator creates a folder called Images where it stores all of your images.
However, you may choose to uncheck that so that your images are saved in the location that you want without being put inside of one standard folder called Images. Finally, in the bottom here there is an option that allows you to Include XMP, which is metadata in a file, but know that if you include the metadata, that obviously adds the file size of your artwork. So, for example, if you're exporting a JPEG and you want to include maybe copyright information inside of that, you can include that XMP information. However, that will add to the file size of the JPEG file. Finally, one of the nice things to note here is that you have the ability to save all of these settings and then load them at a later time.
This means that, for example, if you have a developer you're working with or if you have a certain workflow for a particular client, you can save all these settings and then load them as necessary. Once you have all the settings the way that you want, you would click OK, then you return it back to the Save Optimized As dialog box, where you would click Save to save your files using all the settings that you've just specified.

Paul Wilkerson, River City Ministry
Our 5th inductee into our "30 Faces of Hunger Relief" countdown this year is Paul Wilkerson, Operations Director at River City Ministry in North Little Rock.
For 10 years, Paul has helped improve the lives of thousands of Arkansans. His dedication to serve others has provided grace, mercy and peace to those who walk through the doors of their ministry.
Every day, Paul says around 200 people walk through their doors.
"From a hot lunch to a shower to dental work to just a place to feel safe," says Wilkerson. "Just a place for them to come in and have peace."
Paul said his path started through medical missions in third world countries with his church.
"I was blissfully unaware."
He said his eyes were lifted after helping many malnourished people get the proper medicine and nourishment they needed. After going on several trips, someone then told Paul about a place in North Little Rock that does the same thing to help people in his community.
"I knew it was where I wanted to be. I had a need to serve people every day."
From there, Paul has worked ten years at River City Ministry, a member agency of the Arkansas Foodbank. With food from our warehouse, Paul says their operations include a food pantry twice a week, a soup kitchen that serves a hot meal six times a week, and they are a Department of Health Services provider that provides food to those in emergency situations.
Mr. Wilkerson says being able to feed so many each week has been very fulfilling.
"It is very true that if you serve people, you are receiving back….It means a lot to to be a graceful moment in their day in a life that has a lot of turmoil. That is our mission."
Ultimately, Paul says it is important to show that somebody cares for them as a person…face to face.
On behalf of the Arkansas Foodbank, thank you Paul Wilkerson for being a face of hunger relief and a passionate champion for the hungry in Arkansas.

Last June, filmmaker Adam MacKay-Smith gave us My Name is Johnny Canuck, one of the best Canuck fan videos ever made. In it, MacKay-Smith retold the 40-year history of the team and the 2010-11 run to the Stanley Cup Final through the eyes of the legendary lumberjack for whom the Canucks are named. MacKay-Smith's Johnny Canuck was a fully realized, weary, warring woodsman with a long history of turmoil and a hunger for triumph. "Some years, you feel like you've got nothing to live for," he sighs, midway through the film, before immediately declaring, "But not this year."
As you may recall, however, the year didn't end exactly as planned, and Johnny Canuck suffered yet another heartbreaking defeat. Knowing the character as well as the original video allowed us to, we could have presumed that the woodsman would have handled it the same way as all the other losses: by dusting himself off with a grimace, numbing himself to the ever-present sting of loss, and carrying on. But thankfully, we don't have to guess, because Mackay-Smith has created a sequel. This is The Heartbreak of Johnny Canuck:
But to ruin my year… that would be… unbearable. I can't decide if that pun is the best or worst thing ever. Perhaps both.
As to the video as a whole, there's no question that it, like its predecessor, is one of the best things to come out of Canuck nation. The burned-out tree shaped like a Stanley Cup, the shot of the lumberjack shaving with that rusty axe, the photoshopped Canucks' alternate logo featuring the film version Johnny Canuck — every element of this video is done to perfection. If you can't get behind The Heartbreak of Johnny Canuck, either there's no love in you, or you're Nathan Horton and you're turned off by the fact that MacKay-Smith's Johnny Canuck bears such a curious resemblance to a bearded Aaron Rome:
Seriously, that's uncanny.
The original film received over a quarter million hits on Youtube and was featured on CBC, TSN, Sportsnet, Entertainment Tonight, the Huffington Post, the Globe and Mail, and at Rogers Arena, among other places. If you still haven't seen it, I've got two questions for you: first, where in the world have you been? Second, why don't you watch it right now?
Mackay-Smith and co. have created a website, Johnny Canuck Films, where you can enjoy both videos, keep up with the filmmakers, and, presumably, see more Johnny Canuck films if they decide to make them. Here's hoping they do.Tags: Amazing Fan Video, johnny canuck

Powerful Tour de force
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I don't like to give 5 stars unless everything is perfect. However this binding sure comes close. Having skied the HH for years I knew what I was in for power wise.. this binding is even more powerful than the HH!
I just spent 8 days straight of burly touring the Tetons with this mounted via Quiver Killer inserts to some Volkyl Nanatuq's. Much of this trip was sub zero touring in dry powder. I love the free pivot tour mode which makes the binding just like an AT tourer. I didn't like the engagement/disengagement of this mode. Build-up of ice under the toe piece is something you need to stay on top of our the switch becomes jacked up. Not a big deal but something you need to be aware of. All in all a great binding that can use some tweaks to make it even better. Thankfully I don't have to switch to AT like all my buddy geezer skiers have all done!

My turn Small-business tax tipsBy Jeanne A. Hulit | February 26,2013
Jeanne A. HulitAs you settle down after the busy holiday season, you will soon face another season: tax season.
As a small-business owner, you need to understand how taxes are going to affect you and your business. It is important that you file properly, avoid audits, and claim the right tax deductions.
Here are a few tips that may ease the burden of tax preparation and to help you get ready for the April 15, 2013 deadline.
1. Keep good records: Proper record-keeping year-round is the first step to ensuring your taxes are filed accurately and that you have the paperwork you need to back-up your deduction claims should you be audited.
2. Understand your deductions: What small-business deductions can you take? Do you have the documentation and original receipts to back them up? Tax credits and deductions change each year.
3. Utilize the Small Business Jobs Act tax provisions: The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 signed into law by President Obama has over 17 tax provisions decreasing the tax burdens for small businesses, and several of these provisions can be taken advantage of during this years tax season. Utilizing these provisions will provide great savings for your business.
4. Remember the tax credits within the Affordable Care Act: These tax credits will allow small businesses to cover up to 35 percent of the premiums a small business pays to cover its workers. In 2014, the rate will increase to 50 percent.
5. Avoid common audit traps: It is very important to be aware of potential red flags and act on them before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does:
Classifying employees as independent contractors: Independent contractors and employees arent the same, and its important to understand the difference. In the eyes of the IRS, misclassification can be seen as an attempt to avoid payroll taxes, and non-compliance can bring penalties and back taxes.
Home-office deduction: This deduction is very specific, and not all home-based businesses will qualify. Likewise, if you run your business from a commercial location and claim the home-office deduction, you might trigger some interest from the IRS. Know how to determine if you are eligible to claim it, and what specific expenses you can write off.
Large-sum miscellaneous deductions: If you claim a large amount of itemized deductions relative to your income, the IRS will get suspicious. Likewise, if you bucket a large amount of miscellaneous expenses, you may raise eyebrows. Be specific and label every deduction.
6. Keep business and personal expenses separate: The IRS scrutinizes personal expenses that may have been claimed as a business expense, such as the use of a business vehicle for personal use. Be diligent about keeping good records. Maintain a separate bank and credit card account for your business.
For additional information on these tax tips and current year tax deductions, visit the SBA Small Business Tax Guide or contact the IRS at www.irs.gov.

I'm baffled as to how this restaurant got 2 stars. Further proof that Bruni is an idiot. Service was no good, decor is basically nothing. My husband and I went not long after it was reviewd just because we were so suprised by the stars. A few things were quite good, but not 2 stars good. The cold sesame noodles were delicious. We ordered 5 other things. 2 of them had the EXACT same sauce, even though on the menu it said 2 different types of sauces. The scallion pancakes were not good at all. Really really weird aftertaste. Not good. So, in summary, skip this place!

The best sichuan I've ever had. You absolutely must try the fish fillet in red chili pepper broth. If there's a better Chinese restaurant, I'm not aware of it.
Posted by Old customer on 04/28/2009
I use to go there every week while my office was close by, but i still try to go there, but the over all quality :( food is not as good as before, i guess they change the chef, the portion is smaller so you could order more dishes, the price is 3-5 bucks up for each dish,we spent over 60 bucks and we don't really feel full, i don't know what happened to them? As quality like this,I would never ever go back, no way.
Posted by Spiceman on 04/02/2009
The food there is great! Tastey, Spicey, Great Portion...and the price....wow, I love it!! My friends and I walked from 44th Street & Lexignton Ave to get lunch from there and it was well worth it. This was my 3rd time there and I have no complaints...IT'S PERFECT. I recommend the Stir Fried Chicken w. Roasted Chili & Green Chili. Satisfied for real!!
Posted by S on 03/27/2009
Today was my 2nd time there. Soups came a minute after we ordered and entrees came 2 minutes after that - which had me thinking they psychically knew what we were going to order and had it waiting for us. We ordered dishes rated 2 peppers - braised fish fillets w/ chili miso and ma paul tofu. While good tasty dishes, had us gulping down ice cold water. Extremely crowded during lunchtime and our table for 2 was an inch apart from another table for 2.

It does not get better than this in NY. Not in Flushing, not in Chinatown. I only wish I lived closer and could eat every few days.
Posted by anonymous on 03/02/2009
A note to all: this restaurant is only open until 10pm, as opposed to what is listed on this site; the last seating is at 9pm. I experienced this problem firsthand, when they actually TURNED OFF all the lights in the place while we were still at the table---apparently, it was 10pm and it was time for them to go home!

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - The San Francisco 49ers have selected free safety Eric Reid out of LSU with the 18th pick in the NFL draft after trading up to get the selection from the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cowboys swap and take the 49ers 31st overall pick. Dallas also gets the No. 74 pick in the third round.
San Francisco began the day with 13 picks.
Safety was considered a significant need by general manager Trent Baalke for the reigning NFC champions, who lost All-Pro Dashon Goldson to Tampa Bay at the start of the league's free agency period in March.
Reid played three seasons for LSU and is still considered a raw talent in pass coverage. He could make an immediate impact on kick coverage.

The BlackBerry Z10 and Q10
BlackBerry 10 will first launch on the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone. The phone has a 4.2-inch screen, a dual-core processor, 2GB of RAM and an 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 2-megapixel camera on the front for video chatting. You can read our full review of the phone here.
The BlackBerry Z10 will be available in Canada on Feb. 5 and in the U.K. early next month. In the U.S. it will be available in March. AT&T and Verizon have said they will carry one of the first phones with BlackBerry 10. According to RIM, the Z10 will be sold for a suggested retail price of $199 with a two-year contract; an unlocked version will be sold for $599.

Gossip Girl
Best and Worst Fashion of Season 4, Episode 13: "Damien Darko"
The scheming and plotting continues as we blow through the second half of season four! What was once a business relationship is blossoming into something else for Chuck, while Dan and Blair suddenly found their blossoming friendship crammed into a cubicle. New situations called for new outfits, but not everyone succeeded in putting their best sartorial foot forward — check out who's up for a style promotion and who deserves a pink slip below.
Hot: Blair Steps Outside of the Box
Blair Waldorf has attained her style maven status by sticking to her own tried and true formula. That being said, we're all about those bright pink shorts she sported during her somewhat triumphant return to W. Here's to trying — and succeeding! — at something stylistically different.
Hot: Blair's Evening Gown
Always one to make a great first impression — with her clothing at least — Blair wore a stunning evening gown to the W party. Unfortunately, she was only able to flaunt it from the ballroom floor.
Not: Dan's Too-Chunky Knit
We love a chunky knit as much as the next fashionista, but this one left Dan looking like a linebacker in luxurious wool. Pass.
Not: Blair's Business-y Blunder
All black and simple cuts do not a great office look make. The patterned tights, two-toned pumps, printed dress, and boxy blazer left a lot to be desired. And that was before B started openly sabotaging her fellow employees.
Want to keep your fingers on the pulse of all that gossipy goodness from Gossip Girl? Stay up to speed on the music, the fashion, and those uber-glam starlets by liking us on Facebook! You know you love us! XOXO

Dr. Anne S. Blackett's Ratings
I love dr Blackett and would recommend her to anyone!
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2846905].votes_count ]]
I loved dr Blackett. She was always in tune to my complications and very willing to listen. She never seemed in a hurry and always took notes on what I was saying. Her staff seemed a little lost and times and not the most friendly or easy to talk to but for the most part I was at my appointment on time. Overall I thought she was a fantastic dr and I will use her again for future pregnancies!
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2655791].votes_count ]]
Dr. Blackett helped with three pregnancies and deliveries. I was 7 months pregnant with my first child when the doctor I was seeing stopped delivering and I switched to Dr. Blackett. So glad I did! Even though she was incredibly busy, she always made me feel like I was her only patient. I never felt rushed or that my concerns were unfounded. My questions were always thoroughly answered and my ideas were taken seriously. I wanted to deliver naturally with my first and she was very encouraging and supportive. When, during that first labor, things progressed in such a way that a natural birth was no longer a possibility, she patiently guided me through each decision, always making me feel like I was in control. Since then I have had two more children with her. I just moved away and sadly have to find a new doctor. I will genuinely miss this doctor that I have come to trust - who feels like a friend. She always asked about my other kids (and remembered their names) and made me feel at ease.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][258334].votes_count ]]
Dr. Blackett was the worst experience I have ever had with a doctor. NEVER returned my calls, I had to speak with a different person every time I called (each of which didn't know my situation or how to help), and I had to wait 45 minutes for the first appointment even though I was only the second appointment that day. The staff was very rude, and mocked me when I brought up that I was considering a natural birth. She literally spoke to me for less than 2 minutes and then left. They tried to get me to sign a paper saying I would pay them for their services and ONLY seek treatment through them before I had even met Dr. Blackett. I had complications that risked my pregnancy and got NO help from them even though I was still considered one of their patients. I was so disgusted with the "Lodge" that I drove an hour away to get to a GOOD doctor, and it was well worth it. I got more facetime, phone calls, and help from my doctor an hour away than I did from the doctor across the street.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][258335].votes_count ]]
Dr. Blackett has a fantastic, friendly nurse but her medical assistants were somewhat lacking. Dr. Blackett is genuine and took the time to discuss concerns and wishes, including our birth plan. Her bedside manner is awesome and she came to deliver our baby even when she wasn't on call. That was HUGE for us, especially because our birth did not go as planned. It was nice to work with the same doctor who had been with us all along. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Blackett to anyone looking for a quality medical provider who really cares about her patients.

Æsir, the Copenhagen-based, design-focused, luxury mobile phone company brings fresh thought to mobile phone design with its inaugural phone the Æ+Y. To celebrate Wallpaper*'s Handmade exhibition at Salone del Mobile in Milan this year, Æsir commissioned James Joyce to create a one-of-a-kind edition of the Æ+Y handset, an 'ode to Copenhagen'. The Æ+Y was created by a collaboration of individuals from San Francisco and Switzerland to Oxford and Oulu. Each bringing unique skills to the project, this team is united by a love for Æsir's inspirational home, Copenhagen. For this special edition of the Æ+Y, each collaborator has shared what they love about Copenhagen, such as Yves Béhar's Tivoli Ferris wheel, Peter Ashall's wind farm and Tom Hingston's hot dog. Each tribute to Copenhagen has then been hand designed as a keypad icon by James Joyce and hand engraved into a one-off edition of the Æ+Y. For more information on the icon designs click here 2011

Dear Editor:
The U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee recently approved its version of the 2012 Farm Bill.
In todays partisan climate where everything seems to turn into a political issue, the committee deserves high accolades for its swift, bipartisan passage of a common-sense plan that protects American agriculture, while at the same time reducing our nations debt by an estimated $23 billion. And while the Commodity Title gets most of the attention in the news, I would argue that the Conservation Title is just as important, if not more so. If we dont protect and preserve our nations natural resources, we wont have any land on which to farm in the future.
Whether youre involved in agriculture or not, this is something that matters to all of us the benefits of a strong Conservation Title benefit everyone. After all, we all eat, and we all need clean air and water. And with the worlds population on the rise, the sustainability of our food supply has never been more critical.
The Senate bill includes a strong Conservation Title that streamlines and consolidates programs for increased efficiency and ease-of-use for producers, while maintaining critical funding for valuable technical assistance helping provide adequate boots on the ground to implement conservation where it counts.
While the bill would cut $6 billion in conservation program funding, all of us must be prepared to make sacrifices in the current economic climate. However, additional cuts beyond this amount could put the viability of these programs at risk.
Producers in South Carolina and across the country must already do more with less, and conservation is a tool that is available to every producer. Farm Bill conservation programs play a key role in supporting clean air and water, and productive soils, and support our nations long-term economic and food security.
Its better to make a long-term investment in our natural resources today, than to be forced to pay escalated costs for repair in the future.
Its time for Congress to pass a Farm Bill before its too late.

(Note: I wrote this article because I am a huge fan of comic books and I feel that they get a very raw deal when compared to other visual art forms and literature genres. I feel that comic books represent a different kind of medium whose growth has been stunted because of monopolies and unethical corporate practices. This article is not just a look at whether Archie will marry Veronica or not, but also a look at how the comic book industry in America functions, push and pull dynamics, speculation driven busts and booms and how they can affect an entire distribution system, marketing and line extensions, and very obliquely, what makes a recession. I know that its a long article, but bear with me)
For the past few weeks, most Indian newspapers have been covering the fall of Riverdale's most eligible(?) bachelor, Archie Andrews. Yessir, just a few issues ago, Archie went down on a knee and asked Veronica Lodge to marry him, leading to heartbreak for one of the most desirable blondes in literature, Betty Cooper. Feminists all over the world seethed in anger, (which is kinda funny, considering Veronica is closer to the new age women than Betty), men all over the world nodded in agreement (as soon as their girlfriends were out of sight), and Archie Comics Publications is looking to milk the gullible masses for all they are worth. Archie and Veronica are set to tie the knot in a few months, and we are all invited (provided we buy the comic books).
Its heartbreaking, its romantic, its the story of coming of age and understanding responsibilities, its a story of true love and choices. Also, if the voices in my gut are correct
(yes, I have voices in my gut, even though I have no idea where gut is), this is all a load of c***, and unfortunately, its also bad for the industry.
I will attempt to answer both the topics I have raised: 1) Why Archie won't marry Veronica, and 2) why it is bad for the industry.
Why Archie won't marry Veronica:
If comic book history is anything to go by, Archie won't marry Veronica. Why? Well, its a HUGE change, and in comic books, nothing ever changes. Thats right, people die and then come back to life. Comic book bosses and editors are yellow bellied namby pambies (got that one off Wodehouse), who are afraid of even the slightest change in the Status Quo. There have been innumerable changes that have been retconned (see below), and most of these decisions have been based on myopic editorial policies.
Archie marrying Veronica is a big thing. People have already voiced their concerns about Archie and the gang growing up, but the interesting thing is, it might actually be better for the comic in the long run. Currently, Archie and his friends cater to the following markets:
1) Young Adult/Teenage Girls (The regular Archie universe)
2) Pre-Teens (Little Archie's old issues)
3) Boys of ages 10-13 (TMNT etc)
Of these, the majority of their readers lie in the first segment, and because Archie Comics is run by the same kind of people who run all other entertainment industries, it is my opinion that this story arc is nothing but a publicity gimmick to boost sales (for some examples, see The Death of Superman below). This story arc has generated a lot of publicity already, and battle lines are drawn over whether Archie made the right choice or not. IMO, Archie is making the right choice, and marrying Veronica is a groundbreaking step that will make the series more relevant and interesting. However, that Archie won't marry Veronica is almost certain, for the following reasons:
1) It will push the comics away from what the biggest consumer segment (Young Adult/Teenage Girls)
2) It would spoil the love triangle that was the hall-mark of Archie comics
3) It would be a good thing for Archie comics in particular and comic books in general, and therefore, the Powers That Be will not even consider it.
These are legitimate concerns, but all of them have simple solutions (except for number 3, which is because of Murphy's Law). People have correctly predicted that a married Archie might put off a lot of current readers, but what they are missing is that a married Archie can appeal to a different audience, an older, matured audience. Mangas sold in the USA and other parts of the world already have dedicated titles for girls and young women, focusing on content not very different from your standard Archie comics. They are a target segment that Archie comics is not even considering at the moment (and I bet a Betty comics that focuses on Betty dealing with this would be a huge success in that target segment, if handled well). Also, a married Archie need not necessarily translate into loss of numbers from the Young Adult/Teenage Girls target segment, since you can have a separate product line that focuses on content more suited for that audience. (Both Marvel and DC have such a policy in place, in fact, if memory serves right, there are currently two different versions of Wolverine and Teen Titans). Of course, we run into problem number 3, which unfortunately has no possible solution.
This is why I feel that Archie won't marry. He should, but he won't.
(And in case he does, let us pretend this article never happened)
Why is it bad for the industry:
In order to better understand this article, please bear with me for a little while as I explain how the system works. It'll be useful to both comic fans and non-comic fans, since it explains market dynamics and various strategies at work, and how Wall St Executive types can ruin industries. (particularly relevant in these times of recession)
The publisher sells to the distributor, who then sells to the retailer, who then sells to the consumer. However, the dynamic that usually exists is a pull strategy, (ie retailers place orders based on the mood of the public). This takes place along the entire distribution chain. However, sometimes, under satanic influences, the publishers decide that it would be awesome if they could put out a book that would capture the imagination of the masses and chronicle events of such magnitude that they literally shake the space time continuum, and in an unrelated development, bring in lots of moolah. The publishers give pointed glances and drop subtle hints to the editors. The editors cough in a meaningful way towards the writers, and like Clockwork Oranges (check up the origin of the term, its rather interesting), churn out a story encompassing all the details mentioned above. The publishers then put out huge ads and use the entire marketing muscle at their disposal. They literally force this "Epic World Shattering Story" down the gullet of the fans in a classic push strategy, and then wait for the money train to pull in.
But how does this ruin the economy? Well, that's where the speculators come in. The speculators buy multiple issues of major comic books and sell them years later for high prices. What's that? I can hear you at the back. Oh, so comics are niche, are they? Nobody reads comic books, how much can a comic book sell for? Well, the comic book industry is about 1.3 trillion dollars, globally, and as some collector's editions have sold for as much as 250,000 dollars. An average collector's edition can fetch as much as 10,000 dollars in 10-15 years. Considering a comic book costs about 3 dollars, and an entire special/collectible series can be had for as little as 100 dollars, it is a sounder financial investment option than what your average financial institution sells.
However, the risks are high as well, and a wrong decision by a collector can be disastrous. Speculation booms have fuelled recessions in most industries, and the comic book industry is no exception. It went through three major recession in the past three decades, and the last one (addressed later in the article) in the mid nineties, set off a chain of events perpetrated by idiotic executives and board members, that resulted in nine out of ten major distributors going out of business, the number of comic shops going down by two-thirds, and ultimately, Marvel declaring bankruptcy.
And as for those "Earth-Shattering" changes? The following is a list of major earth-shattering changes that were rolled back faster than the speed of light:
1) The Death of Superman: in 1993, DC killed off Superman in a highly publicized story arc, that was very well
- Supes kicks the bucket
received at first. Fan horror and admiration turned to horror and outrage when they found that it was all a stunt so that DC could sell limited merchandise at high rates, and use the speculator market to their advantage. It worked well for DC, they made a lot of cash, most speculators who had bought hundreds of copies of the special editions and high prices went out of business, (since Supes came back, these special limited editions were now worthless), taking with them lots of book shop retailers, (who were left holding excess stock that no one wanted, since people had used all their money buying the ridiculously overpriced special editions, and hence couldn't afford other comics, which then turned to pulp in the retailer's basements), and this in turn drove the distributors in the red. Don't get me wrong, DC made a lot of money out of this, but they also sent the entire comic book industry into a slump (notice any similarities with the current market fiasco?)
2) The Marriage/unmasking of Spider-Man: Spider-Man married Mary Jane Watson, his second love, in the 1980s. For the past twenty years, Spider-Man had been a married super-hero who juggled his unusual work-life balance with unusual aplomb. Enter Joe Quesada. The Ed-in-chief of Marvel decided that a married Spider-Man wouldn't appeal to kids (fun fact, average age of a reader of Spider-Man comics: 15-24), and hence, they should dissolve the marriage, so that Spidey could be single and "fun" again. (Also, they had recently unmasked Spidey in public, resulting in him and his family being on the run from enemies and the media, an awesome premise, but something the Powers That Be had declared to be too revolutionary and something beyond the grasp of the kids who read the comics). But wait, divorce was not an option. Kids are impressionable (particularly when they are in the age group of 15-24), and we don't want to break a marriage like that, especially when its Spidey, who is such a role model. So they had Spider-Man make a deal with the devil, where he agreed to dissolve his marriage and re-arrange the past so that he and MJ had never married, in order to save Aunt May's life (who is about 80, and more hated as a character than Jason Todd, who, if you are a fan of Batman, should know that fans actually voted and paid money to have killed off), and to remove the memory of Spidey's unmasking from the public. In essence, the current editorial policy at Marvel seems to be, a legitimate divorce is not nice, so we prefer making deals with the ultimate evil instead.
So now, Spider-Man is single, 30, and living in his aunt's basement, rather than married with a beautiful and successful wife and a successful career. Somehow, I fail to see this new avatar as a role-model.
The fans reacted in the only way possible. Sales of Spidey comics have dropped significantly. However, the industry isn't hurt so bad since the speculators didn't bite the bait that hard, and anyways, Spidey wasn't Marvel's top seller (Wolverine and New Avengers are). While this did not have as serious an impact on the industry, it did send a lot of fans over to DC.
Superman's marriage is doing rather well, by the way.
3) The Clone Saga: No, not Star-Wars, but Spider-Man once again. It goes like this: Spidey is revealed to be a clone of Ben Reily, a new character. It goes on for some issues, until it is revealed that Spidey was real, and Reily was the clone. It goes on for some issues, until it is revealed that Reily was real, and Spidey was the clone. It goes on for some issues, until it is revealed that some other dude was real, and Reily and Spidey were both clones. It goes on for some issues… you get the drift. The strategy behind this mess was to flood the market with Marvel products and drive the competitors off the shelves (something that Colgate-Palmolive does rather well).
It nearly drove Marvel to bankruptcy.
Of course the speculators got hit bad once again. The story started on a high note, but went so bad that today, the comics aren't even worth the paper they are printed on. This was felt all along the chain of distribution, from retailers to publishers.
The biggest fault in this matter rests with the higher ups who do not understand comic books and the audience. Keep in mind that these are the same people who were responsible for Disney's 2-d animation department going bankrupt and shutting shop (might write a separate article on that later).
It took the industry nearly ten years to come out of the recession that began with the Death of Superman and culminated with The Clone Saga. Then, in early 2000s, the industry faced competition from Mangas, and answered not with innovative, creative storylines, but by playing safe (Wall St Execs, I'm looking at you) and publishing the same old boring stories. Now, with Captain America coming back from the dead again in July, and Batman expected to come back from the dead next year, comic book fans are pretty jaded. Sales that began to rise in early-mid 2000s started falling once again. While the Death of Superman sold millions, the recent Batman R.I.P. story arc failed to cross the 200,000 mark consistently. Spidey's books have reached as low as 30,000 copies a month. Add to that the hype surrounding Archie's wedding, and the certainty that it will come to naught, the American comic book industry might have dug themselves into a hole that they might not come out of anytime soon. The unfortunate part is that while in the past, the economic conditions were such that the comic book industry could recover, in these times of recession, if another speculator bust occurs, the whole industry could spiral into oblivion.

Skeleton Santa in Leesburg roils Loudoun County: Scenes from the Christmas War in Northern Virginia
- 24 Photos
- (Photo: Ryan Kearney/TBD | Date: Dec. 10, 2011)
Leesburg, the seat of Loudoun County, is an all-American town in the classical — which is to say, narrowest — sense. It's largely white (71.1 percent), affluent (median household income: $91,367), and conservative (this election cycle, anyway). King Street, which runs through downtown, is a main street in all but name, with red-brick sidewalks guiding unhurried pedestrians from one antique shop to the next. It's the sort of place where, if you stopped at the Leesburg Restaurant for lunch, as I did, you might hear a blond teenager — an ROTC student wearing Marines-branded sweatpants, waiting tables alongside her mother — tell an elderly man how she couldn't stop shaking WWII veterans' hands during a trip to Pearl Harbor.
I had spent Saturday morning watching the annual Christmas & Holiday Parade roll south on King. It was sunny, a comfortable 43 degrees. A Knights of Columbus pickup truck, in its bed a banner reading "Keep Christ in Christmas," dragged a trailer-hitched nativity scene of costumed young children and a woman singing "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing." There were the usual marching bands, police and fire vehicles, church groups, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, beauty queen winners ("Miss Heart of America," read one sash) and dog-rescue organizations, and hawkers handed out summer-camp pamphlets, flyers for a "Live Drive-Thru Nativity," and coupons for a "free breakfast entrée" at the local Chick-fil-A. (Here, encampments form not to protest economic inequality, but in advance of a fast-food restaurant's opening.) All the while, the hand-waving never stopped, and neither did the dominant greeting of observers and participants alike: "Merry Christmas!"
It has not been entirely merry for all. The current edition of the Loudoun Times-Mirror, lying in coffee shops and newspaper boxes around town, featured the above-the-fold headline, "Skeleton Santa display vandalized by citizen," accompanied by a photo of a plastic skeleton lying face-down in the grass, its Santa suit pulled down to its waist (not visible in the photo: the cross on which it had been strung). "It's that time of year again," the article begins, "when holiday cheer fills the air and the Loudoun County Courthouse lawn is scattered with potentially offensive displays and outraged citizens."
If the author sounds weary, it's because this annual controversy over the courthouse lawn — which fronts King Street downtown, along the parade route — is now in its third year. In late 2009, the Courthouse Grounds and Facility Committee, a citizen group appointed by the county's Board of Supervisors, prohibited displays on the lawn, including a Christmas tree the Rotary Club of Leesburg had been putting up for 50 years, and a nativity scene a local couple had been putting up for 20 years. Predictably, there was a public outcry, and the board overturned the decision and instead decided to allow up to 10 displays on the lawn, with applicants being accepted on a first come, first served basis. So that year, in addition to the tree and nativity scene, were displays by the Loudoun Interfaith Bridges, a parody of the "12 Days of Christmas," and a banner by local atheist Rick Wingrove reading, "Let reason prevail."
Last year, the board voted to continue the rules for courthouse lawn displays, and atheists secured seven of the 10 spots, according to Wingrove, a freelance Web designer with a number of extracurricular titles: CEO of Beltway Atheists, Virginia director of American Atheists, and an organizer for NOVA Atheists. (He's also a hang-glider pilot, motorcycle enthusiast, and bathroom remodeler.) This year, with only nine lawn spots available (owing to a sickly Sycamore tree), atheists again secured seven. But, Wingrove says, "One of our guys died. That [spot] went to the next person on the waiting list, which was a religious group."
Make that six, then: two banners from NOVA Atheists/Beltway Atheists; a "tree of knowledge"; a sign equating Jesus with Santa and the Easter Bunny; "a holiday message from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster"; and a "letter from Jesus" that begins, "Many of you are upset that folks are taking my name out of the season. I don't care what the day is called. If you want to celebrate my birth, just get along and love one another."
Meanwhile, there will be two nativity scenes — the one that's gone up for 20 years, and another from Potomac Falls Anglican Church, which was first off the waiting list after the aforementioned death.
And then there's the skeleton Santa on a cross, which belongs in neither category.

Jasmine James
ATHENS, Ga. --- The No. 13 Georgia Lady Bulldogs lost their first home game of the season, 64-46, to the No. 20 Texas A&M Aggies on Sunday at Stegeman Coliseum.
Georgia (16-3, 4-2 SEC) was led by Jasmine Hassell with nine points, while Shacobia Barbee and Erika Ford tied for team-high rebounding honors with eight. The Aggies (14-5, 4-1 SEC) were paced by Courtney Walker's 12 points and Kristi Bellock's nine rebounds.
The Aggies scored first, but the Lady Bulldogs executed a 6-0 spurt that gave them a 6-2 advantage just four minutes into the game. Texas A&M quickly retaliated and took the lead back, 8-6 just two minutes later.
A jumper by Barbee tied the game at 8-8, before the Aggies went on a seven minute, 16-2 run that gave them a definitive 24-10 lead with five minutes left in the half. Texas A&M capped the run off with three consecutive treys in just over a minute. The Lady Bulldogs continued to pound away, but were unable to make a dent in Texas A&M's lead.
"The story of the game was those back-to-back three-pointers that they hit in the first half," said head coach Andy Landers. "That was it. They hit them almost back-to-back in such a short span, and that really hurt us."
The Aggies closed the half with a 7-0 surge that gave them a 39-16 advantage entering halftime. Texas A&M was more effective from the field, shooting 51.7 percent, while Georgia shot at 22.6 percent. In the first period, both teams shot 50 percent from the charity stripe.
Georgia started the second half with an energetic 5-2 spurt that brought the score to 41-21. Texas A&M then executed a brisk 10-3 run that increased its lead to 51-24. Krista Donald then hit four consecutive free throws to ignite a Lady Bulldog 14-2 surge that made the score 53-38.
The Aggies interrupted Georgia's momentum with a 6-0 spurt of their own that increased their lead to 59-38. The Lady Bulldogs were unable to regain their momentum and cut into Texas A&M's lead enough to rally for the win.
Georgia performed better in the second half than the first, shooting 37.5 percent from the field and 68.8 percent from the free throw line. The Lady Bulldogs also out rebounded the Aggies in the second period 20-11. Unfortunately, the damage was done in the first half, and Georgia was unable to recover from a 23-point halftime deficit.
Following an open date this Thursday, Georgia returns to action next Sunday, Jan. 27 when it hosts Florida at 1 p.m. The game will be televised regionally on CSS.
Texas A&M improved to 2-0 all-time against Georgia. The Aggies won the previous meeting in the "Sweet 16" round of the 2011 NCAA Tournament en route to capturing the national championship that season.
Georgia shot a season-low 29.1 percent from the field while allowing Texas A&M to shoot 51.0 percent, the highest opponent field goal percentage the Lady Bulldogs have allowed this season.
The Lady Bulldogs' 16 first half points marked a season low.
Lady Bulldogs In Double Digits
No Lady Bulldog reached double figures in scoring for the first time this season. The last time a Georgia player failed to reach double digits was a "Sweet 16" loss to Stanford on March 27, 2010. Anne Marie Armstrong led the way in that contest with eight points.
Georgia Head Coach Andy Landers
On today's game...
"The story of the game was those back-to-back three-pointers that they hit in the first half. That was it. They hit them almost back-to-back in such a short span, and that really hurt us."
On the offensive struggles of the team...
"Well, you certainly don't want it to happen, but there's no doubt that we struggled. I thought we got some reasonably good shots there at certain points, but then they just responded and knocked down three-pointers."
On the play of Erika Ford, Krista Donald and Shacobia Barbee...
"I thought they came in and gave really good minutes. They were rebounding the ball, and they did a great job defensively. Marjorie Butler also came in and ran the team well, and Shacobia just really played well for us all day. Krista Donald was good, too. She got rebounds and was able to get to the line throughout the game."
Texas A&M Head Coach Gary Blair
On the impact of building a first-half lead...
"Once we got the lead we just tried to slow the game down and melt the clock because they never got in the game. What we were trying to do was score some easy baskets in the second half against their press."
On Texas A&M's defense...
"I think (Assistant) Coach (Bob) Starkey had a great game plan when you look at it. They shot 29 percent when we were asking for 35 percent. We identified the three-point shooters and when you don't hit them early sometimes you get a little gun shy and they had a couple of wide-open looks that they missed."
On the guard play...
"I thought it was a very good Memphis battle between the two point guards (Jasmine James & Adrienne Pratcher) and I think mine won this one. My other freshman Jordan Jones came in... They had 10 assists and zero turnovers on the road against the zone so I'm going to put a lot of cheeseburgers on their plates today. We won it with two very good, unheralded point guards. No one talks about my point guard play, but you win championships with point guards."
