Customer reviews
By Marianne Vincent 26 Feb 2014
The Lost Child is the first novel by Australian author, Suzanne McCourt. When Sylvie Meehan is almost five, she is living in the small fishing village of Burley Point on the southern coast of Australia, with her Mum, Nella, her Dad Mick and her older brother Dunc. Soon, she'll be going to school, but just now she wishes her Dad loved her as much as he loves Dunc, and that her Mum and Dad could get on a bit better. She knows that her Dad doesn't talk to Uncle Ticker, that he won't go out to see Grandma Meehan on the property, Bindilla, but she's not sure exactly why. She knows Aunt Cele loves Burley Point, but people are critical of the way she lives. Burley Point is a small town and she knows lots of the people there: nothing stays a secret for long. As Sylvie grows up, there are many changes she doesn't like: Dad goes to live across the lagoon with the Trollop, Layle Lewis; Dunc is sent away to boarding school in the city; Mum takes a job at the cafe to make ends meet; Sylvie gets good marks at school but she hates when her classmates gossip and call her names, although her teacher, Miss Taylor, is always nice to her. But the worst thing is when Dunc goes missing, because Sylvie's sure she is to blame. In her narration, Sylvie guilelessly relates events, incidents, her own thoughts and conversations and exchanges overheard, occasionally misinterpreting from her youthful perspective, thus slowly building for the reader a picture of the people around her and her life in this small town. Some ten years after the start of her narration, when much in her life has changed, Sylvie ponders :"What's so good about the truth if it's more awful than a lie?" McCourt establishes the era with references to Royal visits, movies, songs, comics and crazes, giving the novel a truly authentic feel. Readers may feel some nostalgia for dinking, riding in the back of the ute, the circus coming to town, buttered Saos, hula hoops, bride dolls, wagging school, 4711 and Phantom comics, although probably not for school sores, the effects of Thalidomide and the practice of routine tonsillectomy. The attitude to divorce and "New Australians", six o'clock closing and evangelist rallies are also hallmarks of a bygone era. The reader is treated to some beautiful prose: "Blue has gone. His chain lies under the pines like a silver snake. On the lawn, the sprinkler hisses around like a buzzy wasp." and "A flock of silvereyes fly out of the pines. They drop over the lagoon like a lacy cloth." An outstanding debut novel and a very moving read.

DWTS All-Stars: Anna Trebunskaya Retweets Support for Evan Lysacek
Is Team Evanna ready for a comeback?
Olympic figure skater Evan Lysacek and his pro partner Anna Trebunskaya were the runners-up on Dancing With the Stars Season 10.
Season 14 pro winner Peta Murgatroyd has already said she'd love to dance with Evan on this fall's All-Stars Season 15, but obviously Anna has dibs, and it sounds like she wants Evan back for herself.
Today, Anna retweeted a fan's notes linking to the official ABC site where viewers can "cast" the new season, specifically suggesting "athletes" to return:
• "@danasfaith: Tell ABC @atrebunskaya & @EvanLysacek for #DWTS http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/dancing- …"
• @danasfaith: "#FF My girl @atrebunskaya and go to http://www.abc.com to vote for Anna & @EvanLysacek for #DWTS #AllStars"
What do you think? Do you want to see Evan return and dance with Anna?

Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah made one concession to Democrat Max Baucus on Thursday — he's heard of him.
Courtesy of Federal News Service, here's a brief transcript of a budget hearing with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner:
GEITHNER: …the CBO has said consistently over time that these health care reforms will dramatically reduce the cost to the taxpayer of Medicare/Medicaid over the next two decades — substantially in the first decade — as you know, roughly $230 billion, but a trillion (dollars) over the next decade beyond that. And we have to make sure we safeguard that. Now, we can go beyond that and we'd like to work with you on that, but we have to make sure we lock those in.
SEN. HATCH: Well, look, nobody that I know really believes that. And frankly –
SEN. BAUCUS: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
SEN. HATCH: No, I don't believe it.
SEN. BAUCUS: You know me.
SEN. HATCH: Do I know you? (Laughter.)
SEN. BAUCUS: Yeah.
SEN. HATCH: And you believe that?
SEN. BAUCUS: Yeah, I do.
SEN. HATCH: I'm worried. Usually Montanans are pretty tough on belief, you know.

Good luck big man, get after it!
Sweet, keep them coming boys! Next stop, World Domination!
I'm new to the site so I have been wondering what this magical gray box is that everyone speaks of so often. Consider me informed, now I'm ready for the next one. Keep it up coaches!
Anyone have any good quotes from the Wisky sites. I'm sure it is a gold mine at this point.
Quality! Nice work!
Looks like we might have an Angry football team with a bunch of Angry coaches. Motivation to say the least, use it boys!
I would love to see a run for the Big10 but this going to hurt.
Picture above speaks a thousand words. What a flaming pile of crap this season was for the rest of the Big10. Here is to starting fresh in 2013... Cheers
Meteor by a landslide...
Thanks, I was thinking they would have a solid team. Looks like the Wisky game may remain interesting next year although I think we will be too good for them to handle.
Anyone know if Wisky is supposed to be any good next year based on players returning. I hate them, but they do seem to be improving. Certainly with the help of horrible Nebraska D.
Remember that time when Ball broke the rushing touchdown record against OSU... Me Either!
That block was amazing... The call on the other hand was Bull S$&@!
This game makes my brain hurt. Please let it end.
I'm pretty sure I've read the entire Internet at this point to keep my Buckeye fix going. It is going to be a long winter waiting for the 2013 WORLD DOMINATION TOUR. It's 10:40am Mountain and Michigan still sucks!
Congrats seniors, you deserve everything you've earned this year!

A non-resident fee has been adopted for those students who are enrolled at the University of South Alabama and who are non-resident students. All non-resident students, including undergraduate, graduate and medical students, will be required to pay the non-resident fee.
Residents of Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties in Florida, and George, Green, Harrison, Jackson, Perry and Stone Counties in Mississippi will be considered "Service Area Residents" and will not be charged out-of-state fees. Students are required to submit documents to substantiate their residency in these counties.
The classification of students, as resident or non-resident, will be determined in accordance with the following policy and definitions:
"Minor." An individual who, because of age, lacks the capacity under Alabama law. Under current law, this means a single individual under 19 years of age and a married individual under 18 years of age, but excludes an individual whose disabilities of nonage have been removed by a court of competent jurisdiction for a reason other than establishing a legal resident in Alabama.
"Supporting Person." Either or both of the parents of the student, if the parents are living together, or if the parents are divorced or living separately, then either the parent having legal custody or, if different, the parent providing the greater amount of financial support, which may also include court-ordered responsibility for educational expenses; if both supporting parents are deceased or if neither has legal custody, supporting person shall mean, in the following order: the legal custodian of the student, the guardian, and the conservator.
A non-resident student may apply in writing for reclassification prior to any subsequent registration. In determining whether a student is in fact a resident student, the student or "supporting person" must declare, on the University of South Alabama Application for Residency Reclassification, an intention to remain in the State of Alabama or Service Area.
In addition the following criteria must also be met (if the student is basing their residency on a "supporting person," that party must provide the following information):
A student may request a reimbursement of the non-resident fee only if an application and sufficient supporting documentation is submitted to the Office of Admissions prior to the close of registration.
The Office of Admissions of the University of South Alabama will have the responsibility of classifying students as resident or non-resident. The decision of the Office of Admissions may be appealed. However, the student seeking an appeal will be responsible for requesting the change of residency status and for presenting competent, written evidence in support of the request to the Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Services, Administration Building Room 255, Mobile, Alabama 36688-0002.
Application for change of status must be filed with the Office of Admissions on or before the following dates: Fall Quarter-Sept. 10; Winter Quarter-Dec.10; Spring Quarter-Mar.10; Summer Quarter-June 1.
In the event of an unpaid balance on a students account of any nature or an unpaid check returned by a bank, registration for the following term will not be allowed and college credits will not be transferred until the debt is paid. Students are not eligible to graduate until all financial obligations to the University have been paid.
Checks drawn on out-of-town banks ($25.00) limit may be cashed at the Bursars Office by presenting a valid I.D. card. A $15.00 charge will be made on each returned check not paid by the bank.
Checks are not cashed for students during the last two weeks of classes each quarter.

This federally-funded memorial to Canada's participation in the First World War, "The Canadian Phalanx", was sculpted by the Yugoslavian artist Ivan Mestrovic. It was encased in a granite frame in 1972 by D.A. Topolski. The following information provided by the City of Ottawa Archives: During the first World War, a committee headed by Lord Beaverbrook commissioned a vast collection of documentary art to commemorate Canada's participation in the war. Given as a gift to Canada in 1920, the Canadian War Memorial collection includes the marble relief entitled "The Canadian Phalanx" by the Yugoslavian sculptor, Ivan Mestrovic.

As a building professional, you would probably never recommend that the average homeowner do their own plumbing, frame their own walls or attempt to install their own windows. The pros know best, right? So do you hire professional photographers for your own projects?
These days it seems like everyone is an amateur photographer. DSLR cameras and Photoshop can make even the most humdrum photos look better. But when it comes to pictures of your projects for your website and marketing materials, nothing substitutes for a professional's eye.
Over at the Daily 5 Remodel, they are asking their readers this question. Most people responding seem to agree that paying a professional photographer is a good use of money. If you have a great project, it is imperative to show it off looking its best. And a bad photo of a good project could translate to potential clients as a mediocre project.
Look around for someone who has experience photographing architectural projects–someone who shoots mainly weddings might not quite understand how to make a house look its best. Ask your potential photographer lots of questions–what is their experience Do they have references? What about copyright? Post production?
A picture is worth a thousand words. Can you afford to have your photographed projects saying anything less than, "Our work is of the highest quality?"

Matthew Mitchell and his Kentucky women's basketball team set out from the beginning of the 2013 Southeastern Conference Tournament to win it - and even before that in reality. He and his team were excited about the opportunity, their third try over the last four seasons, in the championship game. But like the others, they fell just short.
In the 75-67 defeat at the hands of the Texas A&M Aggies, UK did not deliver the type of effort that Mitchell and his staff expected.
"We're just disappointed," said Mitchell. "We've been here three out of the last four years, haven't been able to get a victory. It's very, very disappointing."
Kentucky's head coach was quick to give the Aggies praise, and it was well-deserved. After losing four of out of their last five in the regular season, Texas A&M mounted an impressive run in the SEC Tournament. The Aggird took down three consecutive ranked teams on the way to the tournament title, first defeating No. 17 South Carolina in the quarterfinals, No. 9 Tennessee in the semis and then No. 7 Kentucky to cap off the university's first-ever SEC championship and avenge their two regular-season losses to the Wildcats in the process.
While Texas A&M's performance was impressive, Mitchell and his athletes felt that they left their opportunity to win the championship in the locker room rather than on the floor.
After Kentucky had struggled in the first half against Georgia and scored just 19 points, the Cats mounted a monumental effort in the second half to win comfortably to advance to the title game, outscoring the Lady Bulldogs 41-14. It would be essential for the Wildcats to deliver a complete performance to win only the program's second tournament title in its history and its first since 1982.
They got off to a strong start, hanging tough with the suddenly hot Aggies. Kentucky forced center Kelsey Bone into foul trouble and got her out of the game early. From there, the Cats battled late and managed to grab a 36-34 advantage at the half led by Jennifer O'Neill and DeNesha Stallworth who managed nine and eight points respectively to lead the way.
Kentucky had managed to play a strong first half and withstand the first blow from the surging Aggies.
The first half was frenetic and chaotic. Up and down each team went and the Wildcats looked to continue to use their depth to stay fresh and wear the Aggies down. Texas A&M never slowed up, even with Bone out early, as Karla Gilbert stepped in and performed admirably in her absence.
But it was Bone in the second half that brought about the end to Kentucky's title hopes.
"You really have to have a good team effort to guard her. We did that very effectively at in College Station," said Mitchell. "But if you let her get that close to the rim, she's going to have a big day on you. She certainly did."
Kentucky's defense did fine on her in the first half, limiting her to just four points in eight minutes. The second half, as it was for UK Saturday night against Georgia, was a different story.
Bone dominated the interior, scoring 18 points with 15 rebounds and four assists on her way to SEC Tournament Most Valuable Player honors. There was seemingly nothing the Wildcats could do to stop her, though fellow all-tournament team selection and senior Kentucky guard A'dia Mathies felt otherwise.
"I think our posts did an OK job of trying to push her off the block," said Mathies. "It was up to us guards and other posts to swarm her today. She got a lot of deep positions and easy buckets."
Mathies performed as well as could be expected of an SEC Player of the Year playing in her final SEC Tournament game. She finished the night with a game-high 19 points, seven rebounds, two steals and two assists against the Aggies and was named to her third SEC All-Tournament Team (2010, 2012, 2013).
Despite the loss and the disappointment, Kentucky still has plenty to play for going forward. The Cats are currently projected as a two seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament - Selection Monday is set for March 18 on ESPN - and they have a chance to avenge themselves to play for something even greater.
For now, however, it's back to the drawing board.
"When you want something really bad, you come up short, the pain is there," said sophomore guard Bria Goss who finished with nine points in the loss. "But I'm just going to use this pain as motivation to get better for the tournament because we got a lot more basketball to play. We're just going to use this game as a learning tool and try to move forward with it."
Mathies' disappointment was due to the fact that her team did not live up to its own expectations. The team motto of "40 Minutes" has appeared all over UK Hoops posters, t-shirts, and throughout various social media platforms. She didn't think Kentucky brought that full 40 minutes of effort to The Arena at the Gwinnett Center floor Sunday night.
"It's just disappointing because we know we had the capabilities to win this game," said Mathies. "We didn't come out there and play for 40 minutes like we should have. We are going to use this game to move forward because we're not going to let this game define our season."
What Kentucky does plan to do is regroup and take what they learned and how they feel after this loss and put it towards a deep run into the NCAA Tournament. Though the Cats haven't had much time to digest the loss, they are already looking forward to learning from this missed opportunity.
"Just come out when you're on the floor, don't take any second for granted, play like it's your last game, like it's the last opportunity you have," said Goss. "We just gave away an opportunity."
"We need to be sharper and focused throughout the whole game," Mathies said. "We can't have mental lapses. We need to make every four-minute segment like our last. We didn't do that tonight, but we're definitely going to do that moving forward."
With now a full week of practice ahead of them until they even find out who, where and when it will play in the NCAA Tournament, Kentucky will look to recapture the energy, focus and desire it lacked Sunday night. No matter what it takes, Mitchell, who assumed much of the blame for Kentucky's poor shot selection and inability to control the lane, will make sure he does all in his power to make sure the Cats are prepared when they tipoff in the first round of the Big Dance so that they don't have to feel experience the sting of a loss again any time soon.
"A large majority of the season we've been really tough," Mitchell said. "I think what I'll try to do is figure out the best way to get our team in position to be ready to play in the NCAA Tournament. If I can affect the toughness, bring that out of them, great. If it's what we have, I have to figure out on a day like today, I need to do a better job of being able to help them get some baskets."

Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid snag gives Manchester United a lift
MANCHESTER United are hoping an amazing breakdown in contract talks between Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid will force him out of Spain and back to Old Trafford.
Manchester United are the clear favourites to land Cristiano Ronaldo's signature in a £55m deal
And that has left the 28-year-old ready to quit the Bernabeu in the summer, with United the clear favourites to land his signature in a £55m deal.
The Portugal star's current contract has a clause written into it which sees Real rake in 40 per cent of the player's individual personal endorsements.
Given that Ronaldo is one of the biggest stars in the sporting world, that effectively means he pays the club more out of his own pocket than Real actually pay him in wages.
Though money is not the major driving force in his career, the player feels Real should be far more flexible in their stance and should reduce the cut they take.
However, the La Liga giants are refusing to do business, and the stand-off is driving their star player out of the Bernabeu.
Starsport told you last week how work is going on to piece together a deal which would take Ronaldo back to Old Trafford four years after his £80m move to Spain.
General Motors are continuing to look at ways of bringing forward their £370m Chevrolet sponsorship deal by a year by buying out current backers Aon.
And they are talking with Ronaldo's representatives over making him a global brand ambassador if he returns to Manchester, with United being able to stump up £200,000 a week in wages.

Darondo on Last.fm
William Daron Pulliam (October 5, 1946 – June 9, 2013), who performed in the 1970s under the name Darondo, was a funk and soul singer from the San Francisco Bay Area. Although he is not widely recognized today, serious enthusiasts of the soul genre consistently rate him in high regard. The mythology surrounding Darondo describes him as a pimp, although he has denied this claim. His performing name is said to have originated as a compliment from a waitress who was fond of his generous tipping habits.

The Glovers have allowed Dan Seaborne to link up with Sky Bet League One outfit Coventry City on loan, and that agreement could be extended, while striker Paddy Madden has been made available.
Johnson says he will be open to offers in the New Year, with departures freeing up space for possible arrivals.
He said in the Western Gazette: "Dan Seaborne is already at Coventry and I think they're looking to maintain that. We've got to look at that depending on our situation at the time.
"It depends who it is, but if anyone comes in for one or two of the others, we will have to consider it."
While prepared to discuss outgoings, Johnson is hoping there will be positive news on the incoming front - with loan extensions being sought.
Yeovil currently have Everton duo John Lundstram and Shane Duffy on their books, while Liam Fontaine and Ishmael Miller have been taken off Bristol City and Nottingham Forest respectively.
Johnson added: "It depends. We're looking to renew first and then see what we have got after that.
"It's not easy to get hold of some managers at this time of the season when they are flitting and flirting with training, Christmas and their families.
"The Everton lads we have certainly gone down that road a bit further. We will have to make contact with the other clubs and their representatives as quickly as we can.
"There's been initial contact but they have said to wait until later in their loan."

We drove in from out of state unprepared (I normally do restaurant research prior to departure). We decided to give this Thai restaurant a try from an employee MoMA recommendation . What a great find! The flavors were well balanced and cooked to perfection. Service was fast. We appreciated that they accepted us without a reservation. Out of consideration; we quickly ordered so they could turn over the table for a reservation at 7 pm. Will not hesitate to go again.

I have been eating at Topaz for over 15 years and have never had a bad meal. The food is authentic -- and by the way reviewers, the owners have always been the same and they are from Thailand. It is fabulous and inexpensive! If you work one block away and can't get off your butt and go there in person, well, you have bigger issues! Who eats lunch before 12pm anyway?? It is crowded but the turnover is quick and they are fast, don't let the reviews keep you from going!! Yes, Thai people actually work there and may not always speak perfect English. If you want a different experience, don't eat international cuisine. A+++++++++

Lunch is amazing at this place. I loved the basil chicken (minced, very flavorful sauce, with just the right amount of spice with a side of boiled chinese broccoli) The appetizers and free shrimp chips with peanut sauce is a nice touch! healthy, great tasting, and affordable.

I wanted to order from here for lunch based on the great food reviews but was very wary given the reviews claiming extremely slow deliveries. I am SO glad that I took the risk!!!! I was shocked when the food arrived in 17 minutes. At first I thought "oh no, its going to be bad because it must have been sitting around." But I just finished eating it and it was SUPERB and fresh. I ordered the pad see ew so it is possible that certain dishes do take longer, but do not be afraid to order based on previous reviews about delivery times...maybe they just had a bad day or bad delivery person.

Based on the previous reviews, we decided to head to Topaz tonight. We were seated promptly and we ordered the mock duck and the prig king. Both had to have had several day's worth of salt. The prig king was in a brown sauce, rather than a normal chili sauce, which tells me this is Chinese Thai. The waiter cleared our plates and asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu. We said we would, and twenty minutes later we went to the bar to pay the tab because our waiter had never returned.
Posted by Anonymous on 12/30/2008
They open at 12, and you can not order before- even for pick up or delivery. There is always a wait for a table if you choose to eat there. The food is pretty good and no other Thai option in the neighborhood, but your best bet is to order in advance and pick it up to go. Expect at least 30 mins for pick up.

Claims on cosmetic products are an essential way for cosmetic manufacturers to explain to their customer what the product does and why they should buy it instead of something else. If a manufacturer makes false or misleading claims, they are likely to alienate their most precious asset, the loyal customer. However, one person's inventive presentation of their product's credentials may be another person's misleading claim; therefore, certain rules must be established to draw the line.
For many years, rules governing claims in the EU were established by the member states' self-regulatory organizations, such as the Advertising Standards Authority in the UK, whose codes of practice not only apply the laws surrounding advertising but also consider national character and issues such as taste and decency. There has been no change to this well-established way of ensuring that advertising is legal, decent, honest and truthful, and the system of self-regulation will continue in the EU member states. Under the Cosmetics Directive, manufacturers ensured that claims could be substantiated, and the evidence was available in the Product Information File.
However, in European Cosmetics Regulation No. 1223/2009, the European Commission (EC) has chosen to regulate cosmetic claims in addition to these existing regimes, saying that consumers should be protected from misleading claims concerning efficacy and other characteristics of cosmetic products. This is covered specifically in Article 20. The first paragraph states "In the labeling, . . . text, names, trademarks, pictures and figurative or other signs shall not be used to imply that these products have characteristics or functions which they do not have." The second paragraph sets out the process by which the EC will develop a list of the common criteria justifying the use of a claim. The third paragraph covers claims relating to animal testing, and is essentially unchanged from the text of the European Cosmetics Directive.

Security top priority during Fiesta, officials say
Police, fire chiefs promises high security, well-trained units
San Antonio city officials said they are not taking any chances with the public's safety during Fiesta.
Dollar Night at the carnival is Wednesday, and with the official kick-off of Fiesta on Thursday, the city of San Antonio is doing everything it can to make sure the event is safe.
The city is already discussing ways to beef up security with the help of the San Antonio Police and Fire departments.
Fire Chief Charles Hood says his firefighters are well-trained and ready to respond.
"We want the citizens of San Antonio to rest assured (that) we have a robust response system that is prepared to respond to events such as this ... and that security will be very high," Hood said. "Hopefully, that will never happen in San Antonio, but we are prepared for it."
Hood says you can help make Fiesta safe by keeping your eyes open for anything out of the ordinary and reporting any suspicious activity.
As for the San Antonio Police Department, Chief William McManus issued a statement, saying, "Our emergency personnel are well-trained in emergency preparedness and work closely with all local, state and federal agencies in the event of an emergency."
As more details emerge out of Boston, local officials will use that information to make any necessary changes to their safety plans.

If we can't marry Jason Segel (because we're already married to Matt Damon, OF COURSE), we hope he can be our kid's kindergarden teacher, because it is just so sweet that Jason Segel cried when he met Kermit in the new Muppet movie. Segel revealed to Jay Leno that, while working with Amy Adams on the new film due out next Thanksgiving, "When we did our first table read, they brought the actual puppets…and they brought out Kermit, and they had to stop because I started crying hysterically…It was so beautiful!" It takes a special man to making sobbing in front of a puppet seem anything but deeply disturbing, but somehow Jason pulls it off.
However, it's not just his personal love of Kermie and the gang that moves Segel. At the end of the day, it's really about the children. "When they bring kids to set, something really magical happens…The kid is looking directly at the puppet. They can't, they don't even notice the puppeteer," Jason explained. "Every time I see that, I think that's why I'm doing this movie." Based on how adorable that is, we can already tell we're going to reach WALL-E-like levels of weeping when we see the movie next year. We just hope we don't cry harder than we did at Up, or else that usher is going to ask us to take it outside again.

Among the many things the board of St. Louis Community College will review in the aftermath of a bungled campus police investigation is whether its campus police should exist at all.
In a scathing report commissioned by the college's trustees and released last week, investigators recommended that the board "investigate the possibility of having local municipal law enforcement cover the campus as opposed to having its own police force."
"It's an interesting question," said Chairman Craig Larson in an interview Friday. "That's part of the next step in figuring out how to implement these recommendations."

Finding the right 'SOULution': no mere restoration
I once had an old car that was in dire need of restoration. It looked old, rusted and ready for the junk heap. In addition to the physical facelift that it needed, it also needed some mechanical surgery.
After my dad and I were able to breathe some new life into the worn-down engine, give it a long awaited brake job and muffler, tune-up, new tires — the works! — it was time to concentrate on the physical appearance of the old car.
The body work on the car required body filler and numerous cans of robin egg blue spray paint. Finally, the project was finished. Although the car wasn't new … I could still proudly line it up alongside anything else on the high school parking lot. It was all mine … bought and paid for!
We sometimes treat life as if a tune-up, new tires and a paint job will fix the rust and decay of our spirit. The spirit, however, is one thing that cannot be restored: it must be renewed!
In the story of Jesus and Nicodemus (John 3:1-21) in the Bible, we find Nicodemus in the same predicament in which many find themselves today. He needed a life-change, a renewal. He wanted truth and he was searching for the answer … the solution.
Jesus' answer to Nicodemus' query was: " … Ye must be born again" (John 3:7). Nicodemus didn't need religion … after all, he was a ruler of the religious Pharisees! He didn't need acclaim … for he was a ruler of the Jews! He didn't realize his real need until he sought out Jesus: he needed to be born-again!
Jesus provides a peculiar and unexpected response to the Pharisees question. Jesus went beyond the words of Nicodemus' real problem. God is not impressed by elaborate attire, position or a wall covered with degrees. He knew why Nicodemus had come to him. He knew of his problems, troubles and concerns.
Jesus responds to a 'religious' man with a 'spiritual' answer. All of man's wealth, all of man's position in life, all of man's power, and certainly … all of man's 'religion' could not assure eternal life!
Jesus provided the 'SOULution' to Nicodemus' concerns: "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (John 3:5)
People spend endless hours and exorbitant finances to bring about personal change to their lives. They seek out the most famous designers, the most learned psychiatrists and the most experienced plastic surgeons to restore their bodies and minds. And still, there exists a great void that man cannot fill.
You are not obscure from Jesus' radar. He knows of your problems, troubles and concerns. Jesus knows precisely what your worn-down existence needs. And it is not something that is purchased, packaged or painted. People need the new, born-again, Spirit-filled life that only Jesus Christ can provide … not some temporary fix that a mere restoration can offer.

WEST ALLIS — A 32-year-old West Allis man is in custody after a standoff with police near 72nd and Madison Tuesday afternoon, August 21st.
West Allis police were first called to the neighborhood just before 2 p.m. That's because they received a call that a person was in a home with a firearm. That person's intentions were not known at the time.
Around 5:45 p.m., officers were able to convince the man inside the home to come out and surrender.
Preliminary information indicates the man was seen carrying a rifle inside the home and acting in an irrational manner. Officials say an acquaintance feared for his safety — and that's when police were called.
Officers were able to get the caller safely out of the home. After several hours of negotiation, the man seen with the rifle left the home through a back door. He was taken into custody without a struggle.
The home where the man lived was cleared and several weapons were recovered.

When the nets were cut down on April 7 inside "Jerry World," Kevin Ollie's UConn Huskies not only had answered any naysayers who wondered if they could remain an elite college basketball program in the post-Jim Calhoun era.
They also reached into households across the country and grabbed the attention of the game's next generation of players, letting them know men's basketball is alive and well in Storrs once again.
"I would say definitely," said top-100 uncommitted recruit Donovan Mitchell, who will be a senior guard at Brewster (N.Y.) Academy this fall.
"No one expected them to win. Just talking to my friends or other recruits, it kind of caught everyone by surprise. It's great for them. They've just been winning and winning.
"It definitely, I would say, has changed the way people look at UConn."
For Mitchell, who lists the Huskies among the dozen or so schools who have offered him a scholarship along with the likes of Florida, Indiana and Providence, the attraction to UConn began several years ago. He used to attend Husky games with friends, including some who had alumni parents, and his cousin Terry Baltimore even played football there (2005-08).
"I actually started talking to them around ninth grade, going into my 10th-grade year," Mitchell said. "They have always been there because they are close by. They're like my home (school). A lot of friends go there, so they have always been in the conversation."
The recent de-commit of Prince Ali has increased Mitchell's interest in becoming a Husky since they play the same off-guard position. But he's not the only one who has the American Athletic Conference school on their wish list.
Last weekend, UConn hosted Diamond Stone, who is regarded as the top available center for 2015 and is expected to be part of a package deal with top guard recruit Malik Newman. A host of uncommitted players at last month's the Mary Kline Classic in West Orange, N.J., are taking a look at the Huskies.
"Coach Ollie has done a great job and they just won a championship, it's appealing to a lot of players," said senior center Jessie Govan at Wings (N.Y.) Academy, who recently chose Georgetown over UConn. "It's a good school."
Two years ago, UConn might have been a question mark for top recruits.
Calhoun had just retired, Ollie had yet to become a proven head coach despite a 13-year playing career in the NBA, and the program was put on a one-year postseason ban for failing to achieve a high enough Academic Progress Rate.
"It settles a lot of uncertainty," Ollie said about the national title. "We had a lot of uncertainty 18 months ago. I don't need to go through that, it's been well-documented and chronicled, all the different things we had to come through. ¦ All the different things we have been doing on and off the basketball court to kind of get rid of that dark cloud some guys were putting over us."
The sun is shining over the school right now, and Ollie's recent five-year extension -- spurring a possible NBA opportunity in the process -- seems to paint a bright future for the program.
"The right number comes, anybody can make that decision, but I think he's at the point where he's at the height of his career and it's going to work out for him," said Terrell Myers, a former New Haven resident and now the current head basketball coach at St. Andrews School in Delaware. "Kids want to play there now.
"UConn is sexy again."
And that appeal for high school players looking for their next home all starts with the UConn head coach.
"Obviously, he had the NBA factor to him, and that was a great sell, but you need to restore the program," said Alex Kline, who runs The Recruit Scoop on Rivals.com. "The fact they could win the national championship that quickly in his tenure is just amazing. You see his character, you see him at the press conferences. He gets more exposure nationally and the rest just kind of works itself out."
That character was on display in practices and in the locker room for his players, who bought everything Ollie told them on their travels from underdogs to champs.
"He's always had trust with everybody on the team," junior DeAndre Daniels said at the Final Four about Ollie's high credibility in the locker room. "He never gives up on anybody and always has faith in everybody on the team."
Just from some of the interactions with Ollie and trips to campus, the recruits seem to pick up on that vibe as well.
"Coach Ollie has played the game and I think that's very important," Myers said. "He's been with the younger kids because he just finished playing and that's very important. And he's one of the nicest people that I've met in my lifetime.
"He's a very honest guy that always keeps his word."
While Ollie has never denied interest in looking at the NBA at some point, he appears to be committed to UConn for at least the next several years, which is important to at least some high school players.
"That would play a big factor because I would like to have a real good relationship with the coach," Mitchell said. "That's one of the things I'll base my decision off of. If (a coach) does leave, that might change my decision."
Junior-to-be Tyus Battle, a guard at Gill St. Bernard (N.J.) School who would be part of a college's 2016 class, doesn't view the NBA rumblings as a negative when it comes to looking at UConn.
"No, not at all," he said. "I know coach Ollie is a heck of a guy and the NBA would be interested. He was in the NBA for a long time and he played with everybody."
And as long as Ollie remains at UConn, the Huskies seem to be in play for everyone.
"The Prince Ali decision was a little surprising, but at the same time, with all the rumors about what Kevin may or may not do, you never know, even if he did just sign a contract extension," Kline said. "But I think the interest is definitely there with a lot of kids and Kevin just relates so well to the guys."

http://www.salvatorespizza.net Salvatore's Italian Grill sounds more like a restaurant, but inside, it quickly becomes clear: The bar is where it's happening. Located on the outer road of Highway 94 near Jungerman in St. Charles, the front entrance of Salvatore's opens into a non-smoking restaurant setting, with murals of the Italian countryside painted on the walls. But after that it opens up into a much bigger bar area where smoking is allowed, the TVs are on and, sometimes, there's even live music. Good news: The full menu of pizza, sandwiches, steak, pasta and salad are offered right at the bar. There are also beer specials during late-night happy hour Monday through Friday from 9 p.m. to midnight and all day Sunday. Read more about Salvatore's Italian Grill >>
http://www.sanctuariastl.com Sanctuaria's tapas-style menu, based on the flavors of Latin and South America, includes a modern twist and changes with the seasons. Produce and meats are often sourced locally, some from their own garden. The art of mixology is alive and well here — all cocktails are expertly handcrafted and served with a flourish. Sanctuaria's Cocktail club features a Club Menu of 150 cocktails that's been nominated for World's Best Cocktail Menu at Tales of the Cocktail's Spirited Awards in 2011. Even the art is big - there are several 17th and 18th century pieces of art from churches around the world and prayers over 450 years old are painted on metal and in the main dining room. Read more about Sanctuaria >>
http://www.sandrinasstl.com Sandrina's is a below-the-radar gem in Dogtown that draws a diverse crowd of south city folk. Hipsters and hoosiers commingle over pool in the game room upstairs or face off in shuffleboard on the main floor. A mural of St. Louis luminaries adorns dining room, but drinking with Jean Harlow and Vincent Price isn't the only reason why Sandrina's is everyone's favorite post-1:30 bar. Sandrina's serves up a late-night menu of traditional from-scratch bar fare that's perfect for soaking up the booze; and unlike most late-night eateries, the food here is good enough to eat in the daytime too. Stop in anytime - the kitchen's open till 2 a.m. Read more about Sandrina's >>
http://www.sashaswinebar.com The second location of Sasha's (the original is in Clayton) sits in the Shaw neighborhood near the botanical garden. When you're greeted with a novel as a wine list, you know you must be in the right place. Clever descriptions introduce each of the more than 60 wines available by the bottle or the glass. It's also one of only a few places in town to offer Coravin tastings right out of the bottle without removing the cork—a great way to taste an expensive wine for just a few dollars. The appetizer menu features delicious wine bar fare, such as charcuterie, pate and smoked salmon plates. Made-to-order crepes and pizzas are perfect for grazing, while the lamb chops, beef brisket and grilled tenderloin will satisfy a heartier appetite. Read more about Sasha's Wine Bar >>
http://www.sashaswinebar.com The perfect place to congregate when you want to sneak out of work and celebrate the day's end with a glass of wine and a cheese plate. The atmosphere is stylish but humble, featuring the requisite doses of glass block, exposed brick and handmade wine racks. The list contains more than 60 wines, all available by the bottle, glass or 1.5-ounce taste. Build a foundation from the ample selection of house-made soups, salads and sandwiches or -- go ahead, you deserve it! -- splurge on caviar and a bottle of Champagne. Read more about Sasha's Wine Bar & Market >>
http://www.satchmosgrill.com Nestled between an El Maguey and a dentist office in a small strip mall off Olive in Creve Coeur, Satchmo's Bar and Grill is a simple neighborhood bar perfect for sports fans looking for a new spot to catch the game and get a cheap drink on their way home from work. The walls are lined with Blues memorabilia and there are at least a dozen TVs featuring a sporting event of some sort. Specials vary by day, with recent examples including $10 for a wings/PBR pitcher combo on Sunday, a $30 three-course steak dinner for couples on Wednesday and a 9-10 p.m. power hour on Thursday. If sports aren't your cup of tea, Satchmo's also has trivia night every Tuesday and live music on the weekends. Read more about Satchmo's Bar & Grill >>
http://www.schlafly.com While Budweiser is synonymous with St. Louis to the outside world, savvy outsiders know to namedrop Schlafly in St. Louis instead of Busch. Indeed, if it weren't for the humidity and Schlafly seasonal releases, how would we mark the changing of seasons? It's not summer unless we're drinking Raspberry Hefeweizen or the crisp Summer Lager, and the winter doldrums become rich and heady under the influence of the Oatmeal Stout.The always-hopping Schlafly Bottleworks is the brand's flagship, and the massive Maplewood location is a venue, restaurant, bar, bottling plant, retailer and mini-museum paying homage to St. Louis' storied brewing history. The well-staffed restaurant serves up thoughtful New American cuisine, and yes, all the beer you care to drink. Freshness is king at Bottleworks, from the beer brewed on the premises to the homegrown, organic menu. When the weather is warm, the courtyard features live jazz and folk music. Read more about Schlafly Bottleworks >>
http://www.schlafly.com The Schlafly Tap Room, opened in 1991, was the first brewery to open in Missouri since Prohibition, paving the way for more breweries in St. Louis. There are generally around 16-18 hand-crafted beers available on tap in the historic brick and timber building. The appetizer list includes pub favorites such as French fries, pretzels and beer bread, with a surprise or two like frog legs and pickled herring. There are five variations on the traditional English "Moules - Frites" plate. Hearty sandwiches and entrees round out the full menu. Live music can be heard Thursday through Sunday and the restaurant regularly hosts events, such as the Belgian Beer and Mussel Festival, Oyster Fest and various beer tastings. Read more about Schlafly Tap Room >>
http://www.schottzies.com On hearing that this south-county bar & grill is named Schottzie's, an unsuspecting patron may expect to make a 'shot' on pool tables, or maybe even on Big Buck Hunter, but that's not the case here. Instead, Schottzie's offers sports on the easily accessible TVs, a jukebox and a claw machine for the kiddos. The above-average menu of bar fare includes daily lunch specials, the house signature dish, which is, yes, a brain sandwich, and something called Wings & More (a pound of wings plus a pitcher of beer -- no carry out on this one, folks). This is a family-friendly place. Even if you don't bring the kids and just want to watch the game, the regular crowd still appreciates an atmosphere where both children AND grandma would feel comfortable. Read more about Schottzie's Bar and Grill >>
http://www.thescottisharms.com A taste of the Highlands in the Central West End. Scottish Arms owner and native Scot Alistair Nisbet has turned out an invitingly dark and welcoming space, perfect for downing pints or attempting to down haggis (which really isn't bad!). More fanciful-sounding items include cock-a-leekie pie (think cream of chicken soup with a baked-over crust), the Ptarmigan (chicken wrapped in bacon) and, well, a fried Mars bar for dessert. Some of the servers actually wear kilts; they're the ones likeliest to know the menu like they were raised on it, and to talk Scotch for hours on end - which makes for a pretty magical restaurant-going experience. Read more about The Scottish Arms >>
http://www.scottradecenter.com During the frigid winter months, this 20,000-seat arena is the Blues' home sweet home. But every now and again, the ice makes way for monumental showstoppers with jaw-dropping stage set-ups (think Springsteen, Lady Gaga or Nine Inch Nails, and yes, even The Bieber). Concertgoers looking for the VIP experience can rack up seats in 91 suites, 1,700 club seats and seven party rooms. Read more about Scottrade Center >>
http://www.casinoqueen.com Situated right inside the entrance to the Casino Queen, but before the flashing lights and ringing bells, Sevens serves up a menu of pub-grub favorites. Starters include wings, nachos and quesadillas, while the main event offers dishes such as pizza and sandwiches, including a Reuben and a prime-rib sandwich. Guests can catch a glimpse of sporting events from just about anywhere in the restaurant including the huge TV that sits over the equally impressive bar. Read more about Sevens >>
https://www.shadyjackssaloon.com/ Located on an industrial desolate strip near North Broadway, Shady Jack's is a biker's wet dream. And we're not talking fixed gears, but bikes of the hog variety. The notion of a drive-through, full-service bar is tempting enough, but we're powerless to resist all of Shady Jack's charms: It's a restaurant, a moto-parts store, a bike repair shop and a museum of taxidermy. And oh yeah, if your ink needs a touch up, Shady Jack's also offers a tattoo parlor on site. The rough and tumble clientele may look intimidating in their weathered leather jackets and wind-whipped long hair, but we guarantee that if anyone gives you trouble, Shady Jack and Co. will be on 'em like dead bugs on a windshield. Read more about Shady Jack's Saloon >>
The Shamrock Pub isn't fancy. It's not trying to impress anyone. But it's the kind of place where you'll find regulars ready to give you an oral history lesson on the building, the bar, and hell, life, if you're ready to listen. Located at the intersection of Convent and South 7th, the brick building was the first convent built west of the Mississippi in the late 1890's. It later functioned as a bottling plant, and now houses a bar and the accompanying liquor store next door. How fitting for a former convent! Tip your hat to the urn above the bar: That's the final resting place of the beloved, and only partially identified "Epps," who wasn't Irish, but apparently drank like a good Irishman should. Read more about The Shamrock Pub >>
http://www.theshanti.com The Shanti is a truly laid-back kind of haunt. Home to a bar, a jukebox, plenty of plastic palm trees, strings of lights and enough tchotchkes to make any decent garage sale jealous. The outdoor courtyard hosts warm-weather fun and cool-weather fire pits, and live music fills the small bar with a variety of tunes nearly every night. Read more about Shanti >>
This small town bar located on the north side of Highway 94 in St. Charles just before Boschertown serves mostly the north-end St. Charles crowd, which makes for fantastic people watching -- and a good alternative to the preppier old-town scene. The soundtrack here is Shania Twain, the TV sets always seem to be broadcasting NASCAR and the patrons are usually up for a game of pool. Shirley's has happy hour every day from 3 to 6 p.m. with $5 mixed drinks and cheap food like peel-and-eat shrimp for just 35 cents each. Its signature dish, however, is the "trash wings," which are fried chicken wings, bathed in sauce and then fried again so they are both spicy and crunchy. Yum! Read more about Shirley's Restaurant & Bar >>
http://www.shivervodkabar.com Shiver Vodka Bar and Champagne Lounge is an ultra hip bar that's the first of its kind in St. Louis. The well-appointed establishment in the heart of Washington Ave.'s club-strewn strip features an ice chamber (complete with ice furniture) where patrons can imbibe their 150+ premium vodkas out of ice shot glasses. If that thought doesn't send a shiver up your spine, you're probably Russian. Read more about Shiver Vodka Bar & Champagne Lounge >>
http://www.shotheaven.com The delightfully dive-tastic Shot Heaven is an anonymous Bevo watering hole populated by a diverse, laidback crowd whose members have one thing in common-they're all in pursuit of giddiness. The space is divided into three: Patrons congregate around two pool tables in the front room, the bar sits in the middle, and the back room features dart boards and a small, laser-lit dance floor presided over by a DJ spinning Top-40 tunes. The place gets packed for dart and pool leagues, and, on off nights, you'll find folks studiously practicing the bar arts-Golden Tee, pool, darts and polishing off bottle after bottle. Read more about Shot Heaven >>
http://www.showmes.com/ Show-Me's restaurants are wing, burger, and seafood establishments -- an all around casual atmosphere. We are committed to providing our customers with a distinctive dining experience in a fun, relaxed environment delivered by attractive, model quality Show-Me's servers. The casual atmosphere includes a host of large, high definition panel TVs that cover the interior of the restaurant.

https://www.siamstl.com Owners Steven Preston and Ron Bray wanted to bring a different kind of entertainment experience to St. Louis. Siam is their experiment. The restaurant, bar and nightclub wants patrons to eschew labels (gay or straight, restaurant or club) and just come out for some good food and dancing. Chef Tyler Davis' pan-Asian menu features fusion interpretations of classic comfort food. The Korean fried chicken, or "KFC," drizzled with a sweet soy reduction, is an Eastern take on the chicken wing. Likewise, the "Umami Sliders" dress up the classic bar staple with housemade tofu, sweet tomato jam, fried shallots and wild mushrooms. Most notable is the kimchi hot pot, a steaming dish of pork-infused broth that teems with house-fermented vegetables, spinach, leeks and pork belly. Siam also serves a comprehensive sushi selection; the spicy crab and baked scallop salad on the "Goku roll" makes it a must-try. Do not pass on the desserts. Formerly a pastry chef, Davis' creativity is on full display with offerings such as plum wine poached pears with mascarpone cheese. If the weather permits, dine on the patio, then head to the dance floor to work off what you ate. Read more about Siam >>
http://www.thesidebarstl.com Any neighborhood strip worth strolling down has a good sports bar for enthusiasts to retreat to, and the Side Bar provides just that for Washington Avenue. Sip on an infused vodka or bloody mary to go with some standard bar fare including burgers, appetizers and St. Louis-style pizza. Go all out for breakfast with a side bar slinger, or have a wholesome dinner of lasagna, meat loaf or baked grouper. No sports bar experience would be complete with a big screen to catch the game on, and the Side Bar's spacious dining room has a projector feeding in the action. Read more about The Side Bar >>
http://www.thesilverballroom.com The Silver Ballroom stands out as the hippest place to live out drunken fantasies as a pinball wizard. The interior is slick with bordello red walls, shiny black floors sprinkled with glitter and sparkly charcoal booths. The bar top was handmade by the owners with over 400 local show fliers from years past, and the pinball machines themselves appear well-kept and clean. Expect mainstays such as the late '80s Williams tables, or the more recent licensed machines like South Park. Nearly 20 amusement options line the walls but if gaming's not your thing, just hit the punk rock jukebox, grab Stag or PBR on the cheap plus an Australian meat pie and snag a booth. For those keen on cocktails, the bar provides alluring mixes with equally inventive names, like the Foxy Brown and the Cold War Revival. Go for an Iron Made In Manhattan and try your luck at pleasing Bride of Pinbot. The Silver Ballroom means punks and pinball. Read more about The Silver Ballroom >>
This ultra dive is the standard by which all other neighborhood bars should be compared. An elfin wooden sign attached to a gigantic Budweiser light box lets you know you're entering a gin joint as unassuming as it's sign. Patriotic relics line the walls, and a collection of regulars are a constant fixture at the bar, trading jokes and jibes with the bartender while a jukebox cranks out soul and oldies that harken back to the time when music was actually good. Another sign on the bar you should note: "If you don't like the way this bar is run, feel free to get the f*** out." 'Nuff said. Read more about Silverleaf Lounge >>

http://www.sixrowbrewco.com Located in part of the old Falstaff Brewing complex, Six Row is a part of St. Louis' recent craft-brewing boom. A rotating selection of beers is available on draft (or in growlers to go). The signature beer might be the Whale, a malt-heavy concoction that is unique and complex, perfect for the beer aficionado and everyday drinker alike. Other selections, like a hop-heavy American IPA or strong foreign extra stout, are available seasonally. The food menu eschews trendy gastropub pretensions in favor of the straightforward, with St. Louis-style pizza, sandwiches, salads and soups. Read more about Six Row Brewing Company >>
http://www.skymusiclounge.com The area's best cover bands rule the roost at this Ballwin music house. Legendary party band Dr. Zhivegas have a weekly residency at this west county outpost, and they get the Wednesday night crowd dancing like Thursday will never come. Located in the beautiful Barn at Lucerne, this rock club serves up drinks named after it's on-stage regulars like Rich Mahogany and Shrinking Violets. Read more about Sky Music Lounge >>
http://www.slotomslounge.com/ Slo-Tom's Lounge is undoubtedly best described by local Americana-rock superstars The Bottlerockets in their anthem named for the bar: "I know where we could go when we ain't got nothin to do / All we're gonna need is a $10 bill, maybe we better bring two/ Baby let's you and me go down to Slo-Tom's / Let's go down to Slo-Tom's / Ain't much of nothing but it sure is something..." The humble south city hole-in-the-wall, named "Best Place to Drown Your Sorrows" in the RFT's Best Of St. Louis 2010, is one of the oldest bars on South Broadway. And while some bars are content to boast of a daily happy hour or two, here, Happy Tuesdays boasts a whopping six hours of discounts. With the right planning, you can drink all day Tuesday, sleep all day Wednesday and show up just in time for Thursday night Pool league. Just don't anger the canine head of security, Fat Girl, who rests quietly bar side, an unsuspecting (but adorable) staple to the Slo Tom's staff. Read more about Slo Tom's Lounge >>
http://www.smallbatchstl.com Restaurateur David Bailey takes the whiskey-bar trend in an unexpected direction with his vegetarian eatery, Small Batch. Bailey doesn't bill the place as a crunchy vegetarian spot; instead, he hopes that diners will enjoy the vegetable-focused concept so much that they fail to miss the meat. The carbonara pasta, made with housemade linguine, replaces the richness of bacon with smoked mushrooms. Even the most die-hard carnivore will be satisfied by the "burger," a greasy-spoon-style corn and black bean patty stopped with creamy guacamole, Chihuahua cheese, and Bailey's signature "Rooster" sauce (tangy mayonnaise). Small Batch's bourbon selection and creative cocktails are also impressive. The "Smokeysweet," a blend of smoked cherries, rye and rhubarb, tastes like drinking punch by a campfire. For a taste of summer in a glass, the "Rickey" is a bright concoction of elderflower liquor, grapefruit, lime and white corn whiskey. The gorgeous, vintage setting provides an ideal spot to indulge in some Prohibition-era-style drinking. Read more about Small Batch Whiskey & Fare >>
http://smittysfoodanddrink.com/ Smitty's is a cozy little restaurant tucked away in a plaza off Clayton Road in Chesterfield. Specializing in homestyle comfort food such as chicken fried steak, pasta and fried chicken, Smitty's is suitable for the whole family. Although there's a full-service bar, they are more focused on food here than alcohol. (You'll find plenty of daily specials for entrees, but none for booze.) On the weekends, though, live music brings in a younger crowd; you can also play shuffleboard. The parking lot of the plaza where Smitty's is located is small and can be difficult to navigate, especially during peak hours. Don't be surprised if you have to fight with an American Cleaners customer for a parking spot. Read more about Smittys Food & Drink >>
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smokey-Joes/120263534656664 Smokey Joe's waits in the darkness of the Great River Road like a tiny smoke-filled oasis. The roadside tavern serves as both an escape for the twentysomething from Edwardsville who wants to avoid small talk with former high-school classmates and a pit stop for regulars, many of them guys who work at U.S. Steel in Granite City. Smokey Joe's has many dive qualities -- think water-stained ceiling panels and yellowing decor -- but it is a lively place. Though the beer coasters proclaim, "Less talk'n, more drink'n at Smokey Joe's," the crowd at the bar is always chuckling and yakking away. The shuffleboard table no longer takes coins, but it still gets some play. An entire wall to the left of the entrance is lined with casino-style video games. The sole loner present is engrossed in video slots, but when someone starts playing the digital jukebox, he ponies up five bucks to keep the music coming. Read more about Smokey Joe's >>
Upon arrival to Smuggler's Inn with a camera, I was accosted almost immediately by a stern woman inquiring just what my business was. When I explained that I was with the RFT, updating bar listings, she laughed and replied "Well this place ain't nothing more than a hole in the wall!" and immediately led me inside. In business for over 20 years, the tiny bar has accumulated a colorful cast of regulars who are quick to buy you a drink and tell you all about their family -- as it turns out the woman I spoke with was one such regular, and her son's picture was hanging on the wall behind the bar. While "hole in the wall" may be accurate in a size-related sense, it should be noted that Smuggler's Inn just may be the friendliest hole you'll ever have the pleasure to visit. Read more about Smuggler's Inn >>
http://www.socialhousesoulard.com Social House took over the spot formerly occupied by M.P. O'Reilly's in Soulard across from the farmers' market. Its menu features typical pub grub -- wings, spinach-artichoke dip and nachos to start, with burgers, sandwiches and pizza later on the list. Wraps include a veggie option, featuring roasted vegetables, rice and tomato-basil sauce. Social House also offers entertainment, with pool tables, video games, dart boards and a large dance floor where 18-year-olds can mingle with the 21-and-up crowd while scantily clad shot girls deliver Jagerbombs and Bud Light in pitchers. Read more about Social House Soulard >>
http://www.facebook.com/SohaBarAndGrill Step into SOHA Bar & Grill -- off of South Hampton Avenue, of course -- and find yourself in a lodge-like atmosphere complete with a fireplace and wall of taps. Cozy up beside a frosty brew and the restaurant's gastropub snacks to get the full experience. Seats at the horseshoe-shaped bar will give you instant access a large selection of draft beers and spirits. Plenty of flat screens provide a happy distraction, though the focus here will likely be on the pretty plated victuals. Choose from fried goat cheese medallions, flash fried Brussels sprouts topped with bacon, nice big burgers, pizzas and much more. Prefer to step into the light? Opt out of the dimly lit environs and grab a seat on the all-season patio to sip and snack. Read more about SOHA Bar & Grill >>
The Soulard jazz-and-blues club Spooty's recently reopened with new owners as an entirely different concept: Sonny's. Gone are the open-mic blues jams; in their place is a pretty standard Soulard watering hole -- meaning that Sonny's is cheerful, casual and cheap. Nothing wrong with that--except think twice before you bring a date. Tuesday night trivia runs from 8 to 10 p.m., while an all-day happy hour on Wednesdays includes $2 24-ounce beer cans all day long. Read more about Sonny's >>
http://www.southtownpub.net/ Southtown Pub is a friendly south-city hangout with plenty of character. Drinks are cheap, there's a Golden Tee machine tucked next to the bar and every seat is occupied by a regular, chattering away like it's a family reunion. In other words, you're on the south side. The place is as unpretentious as bars get, and the Pabst-swilling hipsters roam freely among the Bud heavy-drankin' baseball-capped frequent flyers. A sign above the bar reads: "We don't serve women, bring your own." Not the worst advice we've ever heard at a place like this. Read more about Southtown Pub >>
http://www.thesportspage-barandgrill.com Located at the intersection of Olive and Woods Mills Road in Creve Coeur, Sports Page ain't your new college hangout. It's been drawing a steady crowd of regulars since 1974 by offering the two things that every man's man likes: beer and sports. Sports Page isn't trying to impress anyone; its goal is to simply provide a place where guys can watch the game and get a cold beer. The expansive happy hour runs every weekday from 4-7 p.m., with bucket specials for hockey, football and baseball games. Sports Page claims to have the best burgers in town and also serves chicken wings, Philly beef sandwiches and hot dogs -- because even if you're not actually watching the game at the stadium, you can still eat like it.

President Barack Obama on Wednesday proposed shifting federal student loans to market-based rates rather than the current system in which interest rates are fixed by law and subject to congressional whim.
The new interest-rate approach is one of several measures included in President Barack Obama's fiscal 2014 budget proposal to contain growing student loan debt and make higher education more affordable.
The president's budget stands little chance of being enacted into law, but the proposals could help jumpstart congressional debate about reforming student loans.
Obama's plan also calls for making the rate on new federal student loans a market interest rate that would remain fixed for the life of the loan. The proposal calls for expanding repayment options so borrowers do not have to pay more than 10 percent of their discretionary income on student loan bills.
Student loan borrowing has risen as the price of higher education has soared. Americans now owe more than $1 trillion in student loan debt. The New York Federal Reserve Bank says delinquency rates have spiked over the past eight years.
In the current system, students pay the same fixed rate, now set at 3.4 percent, regardless of changes in other interest rates in the economy. Some economists and lawmakers have said the system is unfair to students who could end up paying more at a time when overall interest rates are still at an all-time low.
The president's budget comes just months before interest rates are set to double to 6.8 percent on millions of undergraduate subsidized Stafford loans if Congress does not act to once again extend a freeze on rate increases before July.
The U.S. Public Interest Research Group, a consumer group, released a report on Tuesday estimating that millions of students will be forced to pay $1,000 more per year on each loan they take out if Congress allows interest rates to double.
The group said that the federal government, which makes 36 cents on every federal student loan dollar, should not be getting such profits at the expense of students. The federal government issues about 93 percent of U.S. student loans.
