Feds hold public meeting about German waste in SC
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (AP) � Federal officials are offering the public an opportunity to voice their concerns about toward the possibility of shipping radioactive nuclear waste from Germany to South Carolina.
Officials from the U.S. Department of Energy are holding a public meeting Tuesday at the North Augusta Community Center.
The agency will discuss its plans to ship used nuclear fuel containing 900 kilograms of highly enriched uranium from Germany to the Savannah River Site, where it would be processed and disposed.
The Energy Department says the proposal would be part of a plan to return the potentially dangerous materials to the U.S. in order to protect national security.
Some critics oppose the plan because it would bring more nuclear waste to South Carolina.

For generations, the Frost family has run the Museum of Magical and Rare Artifacts, handing down guardianship from mother to daughter, always keeping their secrets to family only.
Gathered within museums walls is a collection dedicated to the Grimm fairy tales and to the rare items the family has acquired: Cinderellas glass slipper, Snow Whites poisoned apple, the evil queens magic mirror, Sleeping Beautys enchanted spinning wheel
Seventeen-year-old Bianca Frost wants none of it, dreaming instead of a career in art or photography or well, anything except working in the familys museum. She knows the items in the glass display cases are fakes because, of course, magic doesnt really exist.
Shes about to find out how wrong she is.

Life beyond Trayvon Martin
People need to wake up and realize there is life beyond Trayvon Martin. What about the baby in the stroller who was shot and killed by black teens? What about the man who was beaten by four black teens, who drove him into the street where he was run over and killed? It is sickening to see the media frenzy about one falsely presented young man.

About the Covenant
The Carolina Covenant is UNC-Chapel Hill's promise to youth from low-income families that, if they are admitted to Carolina and are eligible for the program, they can graduate with a baccalaureate degree debt-free.
The Covenant makes it clear that students from all economic backgrounds are welcome at Carolina. Low-income students who are eligible for the Covenant do not have to worry about how they will pay for college or that they will have to go into debt to attend. They can count on it.
The Covenant is much more than a financial aid program. It includes Carolina's commitment to supporting the success of Covenant Scholars, from start to finish.
To be eligible for the Carolina Covenant, a student must:
- Be admitted to Carolina as an undergraduate student;
- Enroll full-time during the regular academic year;
- Make steady progress toward a degree;
- Be dependent on parent(s) whose income is 200 percent or less of federal poverty guidelines and who do not have other resources to pay for college;
- Meet citizenship requirements and other eligibility standards for federal financial aid programs.
Students from any state will be considered. See more information about eligibility.
Students do not have to apply for the Carolina Covenant. Consideration is automatic once a student is admitted to Carolina and has completed an application for financial aid.
Designation and Continuing Eligibility
Covenant status is established when a student is admitted to Carolina as a freshman or transfer student. There is no limit on the number of Covenant Scholars – all eligible students are included in the program.
Covenant Scholars who remain eligible will receive a no-loans financial aid award for study during fall and spring semesters until they have completed the requirements for a first baccalaureate degree, up to a maximum of eight semesters. (The maximum number of semesters is prorated for transfer students.)
Covenant funding can only be used for undergraduate coursework. Enrolling in professional programs, like the PharmD program, will affect eligibility for Covenant financial aid funding. Graduate and professional students are not eligible for undergraduate scholarship programs.

One of the most overlooked part (I'm speaking from experience here) of the wedding planning is the honeymoon destination. So to help couples on this aspect, I am posting here my top 10 recommendations for Philippine honeymoon destinations.
I haven't traveled the whole Philippine Island yet so I want to give priority to our homeland first before suggesting other out-of-the-country destinations. For some destinations, I have mentioned the whole province which means that there are a lot of beautiful resorts and hotels to visit in that place and it would be difficult to narrow down your choices to only one. While for others, I specifically mentioned my suggested resort or hotel.
Drumroll please…
10. Batangas
Why go far if you can find the moon and stars nearby? :P
The proximity of Batangas to Manila and the good quality of most of the main provincial roads are advantageous for the existing attractions and facilities of the province. Batangas is famed for its beaches and its tourism industry has been regarded as a contributor to the economy of the province. I would suggest staying at Punta Fuego (sponsorship required), Acuatico Resort (with their beautiful infinity pool) and Eagle Point Resort (if you and your husband are diving enthusiasts). More recent beach resorts I have been to are Aquaria inside Playa Calatagan, Stilts Resort also in Calatagan, La Luz Beach Resort, Virgin Beach Resort, Tali Beach Resort and of course Pico de Loro Beach & Country Club – Hamilo Coast (sponsorship required).
9. Oriental Mindoro
For most people, Mindoro Beach is synonymous with Puerto Galera's white beach which I think is not an ideal place for a honeymoon. It's a bit too crowded and not quite fit for a bit of a downtime. But hey, who says Mindoro ends in the shores of Puerto Galera's white beach? On the other side of white beach lies a more private beach shore called Sabang. You can stay either in Buri Resort & Spa or in Coco Beach Island Resort.
8. Boracay
For some people, Boracay is not so special anymore but let's face it, Boracay is undeniably a beautiful place with powdery white sand, long stretch of beach shore, not to mention with lots of beautiful people around and of course good food. Boracay is like a home away from home. You can go clubbing at night if you want to or eat in any of your fave restaurants. I just don't know if this suits your idea of a honeymoon :) You can stay in one of the more exclusive resorts there like the Shangri-La Boracay Resort and Spa, Discovery Shores, Boracay Regency Hotel, Nami Spa & Resort or Club Panoly Resort Hotel. Other resort names skip me right now.
7. Bataan
The once unassuming province of Bataan is now being developed into a prime tourist destination. Proofs are the exclusive Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club and the majestically crafted houses of Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar.
"Anvaya" means "family" in the ancient Sanskrit language, a return to meaningful family traditions is at the core of everything at the Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club. This by- membership only resort is located in Morong, Bataan developed and owned by the Ayala Land Corporation. The place speaks so much of relaxation, recreation, and reflection. Anvaya has a contemporary Asian design, artfully displayed rocks, and strategically positioned lounge chairs..perfect for the serenity you're looking for.
You can also visit Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bagac, Bataan. It is home to exact replicas of some of the Philippines' century old houses. You can also rent the houses for accommodations or you can have your pictorial in this photogenic small community that truly showcases Filipino talent, ingenuity and craftsmanship.
6. Thunderbird Resort Poro Point
The finest and only five-star hotel in the Northern Philippine region (La Union), Thunderbird Resorts –Poro Point comes with a full set of world-class services and amenities. It is a fairly new destination, perfect for that private and quiet moments you're looking for.
5. Cebu
It is known to be the oldest city in the country and is also known for its charming, warm, and tropical ambience.
It is home to some of the finest resorts too like the Philippines' premier five-star resort, Shangri-La's Mactan Resort and Spa Cebu which is a lush garden retreat ideal for vacationers and families.
This Cebu luxury resort features kid's play areas, a wide range of restaurants, and CHI, one of the largest and most luxurious spas in the region.
And of course there is Plantation Bay Resort and Spa which is perfect for romance, relaxation and family fun. Plantation Bay offers one of the largest privately owned waterways in the world, with the clean elegance of colonial-plantation architecture. Decompress from life's pressures in the healing tranquility of an environment that truly feels "away from it all." If you have ever spent time at a tropical plantation, you know what I mean. If not, come and discover a refreshingly different flavor of life.
4. Bohol
Bohol is an island province consisting of Bohol Island and 75 minor surrounding islands! Wow, that's a lot of islands ;) It is a popular tourist destination with its beautiful beaches and resorts. And of course the Chocolate Hills and the tarsier (considered the second-smallest primate in the world)!
More popular resorts in Bohol are the Eskaya Beach Resort and Spa, a 5-star beachfront resort nestled in Panglao Island. With a sprawling 16-hectare lot, 600 meters of it on the beachfront, laying claim to a portion of the 5-kilometer stretch of coral white sand that Panglao Island is famous of. The property is blessed with rolling hills, plateaus, a short cliff, a ravine, caves, and the white sand beach. Guests are treated to awe-inspiring mountain views and spectacular sea views aside from first class spa facilities, fine dining, and prompt and efficient services.
Other recommended resorts are the Bohol Beach Club, Panglao Island Nature Resort, and the Bohol Bee Farm.
3. Bellarocca Island Resort and Spa
Bellarocca Island is situated off the south west coast of the Marinduque province. Characterized by seaside cliffs, valleys, hills and sparsely dotted plains across this heart-shaped region, therein lies even more impressively hot springs, waterfalls and underwater flora and fauna. With its white Santorini-inspired architecture on rolling terrain contrasted with the azure blue of the sky above and the clear water below. In addition to these, there are caves that await exploration by adventurous travelers. Many are yet to be fully investigated or documented.
2. Misibis Bay
Tucked away in the lush province of Albay known for the legendary, perfectly-shaped Mayon Volcano, a breathtaking tropical paradise awaits those who seek the extraordinary, the extravagant and the enchanting. Misibis Bay rests in the lush island of Cagraray in Bacacay, Albay. From Legazpi City it's a 30-minute trip by luxury fast water craft or an hour's drive along the scenic coastline. It is a luxury island playground where you can surround yourself with the wonders of nature.
1. Palawan
I'll always be partial to Palawan because it was our honeymoon place ;)
When you hear Palawan you only think of Honda Bay (the coastline of the capital of Palawan, Puerto Princesa City), El Nido or Coron resorts and beaches. These are all lovely and such exquisitely beautiful places to visit.
But if you want more privacy, impeccable service and upper class accommodations you can always go to Mangenguey Island Hotel (owned by an American-Spanish couple who gives personalized services to their guests) and Dos Palmas Island Resort and Spa (they have tightened their security after the kidnapping incident many years ago).
And of course the infamous luxury resort, Amanpulo (which literally means peaceful island). The place is a secluded, beautiful, scenic and romantic hideaway perfect for honeymooners. If only we can afford it. Wishful thinking*
Now, I'm lusting for our second honeymoon. I can't wait :)
Life is beautiful.

If you're an avid hunter, you probably have a pretty nice collection of both hunting knives and LED flashlights. When it comes to spending days on end outdoors, the two go hand in hand. While there is no magic combination of hunting knives and LED flashlights, some pairings work better together than others. The following are three pairings of hunting knives and LED lights that work so well together we just had to blog about it. Enjoy!
1. Damascus Skinner/Mini Tac Torch
There isn't any good reason to be skinning an animal in the dark, but when pairing up hunting knives and flashlights based on size, weight, and handiness, these two are a perfect match. The Damascus is sturdy but great at detailed tasks (like skinning or filleting), and the Mini Tac Torch is powerful enough to provide great illumination without being too cumbersome.
2. Bowie/V2 6 Chip
When handling a heavy-duty, reliable knife like the Bowie, you want an equally reliable, heavy-duty LED flashlight like the V2 6 Chip. With 6 high intensity LEDs producing an 80 lumen output, this hunting knife/flashlight pairing is for real rough-and-tumble outdoor enthusiasts.
3. Light Knife
If you're looking for perfect integration of light and knife, look to the handy Light Knife. Featuring a stainless steel drop point blade and a red LED light in the handle, this tool is perfect for small tasks that require high-powered LED illumination. Use the attached keyring to secure it to your belt or bag and never be without a light or a knife.

This week is School Choice Week in Florida and across the country. More than 860 events are planned across the Sunshine State, in addition to 5,500 events nationwide. Lending support to the effort is Governor Rick Scott, who recently proclaimed Jan. 26 – Feb. 1 as "Florida School Choice Week."
The Week, which is the nation's largest-ever celebration of educational opportunity, gives students, parents, and teachers in Florida a chance to raise awareness of the different types of educational options available to families in advance of the 2014-2015 school year. Events across the state will include rallies, school fairs, roundtable discussions, open houses, and parent information sessions.
National School Choice Week spotlights all types of education options for families – including traditional public schools, public magnet schools, charter schools, private schools, online learning and homeschooling.
In addition to raising awareness of school choice options in Florida, the Week also provides students, parents and teachers with an opportunity to call on leaders in Tallahassee to expand access to high-quality education environments for children.
"Florida families know that when parents have the freedom to choose the best schools for their children, great things happen," said Andrew Campanella, president of National School Choice Week. "Student achievement increases, graduation rates rise, and children are better prepared for real life."
Said Campanella: "As a Floridian, I am honored that Florida is hosting more School Choice Week events than any other state. Florida families have more school choice options than at any other time in history, and Florida has firmly established itself as a national leader in not just providing a range of options -- but a range of high-quality options."
The Week officially kicked off at a major rally Saturday night in Houston, Texas. Today, students wearing National School Choice Week's signature yellow scarves will ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange.

|About the Change
New York City Ballet
June 2010
New York, David H. Koch Theater
by Eric Taub
Philip Neal retired Sunday after twenty-six years of service with the New York City Ballet. His final moments onstage as a dancer were in a glorious performance of Chaconne. In his solos, with their many low leaps and batterie, Neal danced beautifully, as well as I'd ever seen (unlike this season's other retirees, he's going out on a high note) but it was the onstage bond, sadly parting, between him and Wendy Whelan that'll stay fixed in my mind's eye. The opening "Elysian Fields" section was almost unbearably tender, with Neal the unstinting foundation for Whelan's slow flights through the empyrean sunset. Always a dancer keenly attuned to the space about her, Whelan seemed to hold onto the air a bit longer than usual as he lifted her through the slow-motion floating breast stroke that's the section's haunting final image, as if she were more reluctant to let go of Neal, than Neal was to leave his career.
After the "Field's" mournful flutes came the glowing Baroque court of the chaconne proper. As with Yvonne Borree's emotional farewell the week before, I felt almost a voyeur watching, rapt, through my binoculars at the emotions writ so clearly on Whelan's and Neal's faces. As they traded solos to Gluck's heavenly finale, Whelan's focus stayed fixed on Neal. We could watch, but she was dancing for him alone - an intensely intimate moment before an audience of thousands. It was a fitting way for her to say farewell to the last her long-time partners, after the retirements of Jock Soto and Nikolaj Hubbe. She's always been divine in Chaconne's stately adagios, but this time she was, almost literally, dancing her heart out, and it showed.
The program began with an appropriate and memorable Serenade, with Neal entering to applause as the man who perhaps loves and leaves Jenifer Ringer's Waltz Girl. His last exit was even more poignant as Ringer resisted for a long, extra instant releasing his hand and letting him slip through her fingers as he paced offstage, surmounted by Sara Mearns as the Dark Angel who blinds him with one hand while guiding him offstage with the other, and out of Serenade. It was only three years ago that Neal himself similarly said goodbye to Kyra Nichol's Waltz Girl at her own unforgettable last performance.

Neal always presented himself well. Slender and gifted with long, tapered legs, Neal showed us the beauty of his line more than the power of his technique. His dancing was an oasis of calm, understatement and delicacy in a company who's style was becoming ever more punchy and athletic. During his many appearances with the famously wiry and angular Whelan, Neal was, well, prettier: he had the better legs, and his soft and understated style complemented her brash sharpness. It was an odd inversion of the usual distribution of graces between a ballerina and her partner, but, as with that Chaconne, as brilliantly successful as it was unconventional.

The one thing Neal could not do with his partners was look even remotely interested in them romantically or sexually. He was always the cavalier, never the lover. Since most of Balanchine's ballets call for a cavalier and not a lover, this wasn't as much of a detriment to Neal's repertory at City Ballet as it may have been elsewhere, but it probably kept some plum roles, like Apollo, out of his grasp, and it did lead to one unforgettable bit of miscasting: as the tap dancer in Slaughter on Tenth Avenue he danced with happy brio, but looked as if he had not the slightest idea of what one might do when presented with a supine, steaming platter of Sofiane Sylve other than help her politely to her feet.
That Neal sometimes had to work his way through rough patches onstage only made me appreciate him more, especially when he worked his way through them. I'll never forget his deer-in-the-headlights look at a long-ago Mozartiana in which Darci Kistler (just entering her Late Eccentric Period) let him know, in ways subtle and embarrassingly public, that he had not, perhaps, learned quite the same ballet as she had. You had to feel for a guy being schooled in front of a full house by the boss's wife. You never knew if he was going to spin like a top or a dreidel, and sometimes his double tours would be exciting for all the wrong reasons. I remember, about five years ago, he danced a variation in some divertissment of Martins' that called for a diagonal with three double tours. He finished each perfectly, and his ever broader smile made me think he was as happily surprised by this occurence as me. Since vanquishing that bug in his turning, Neal had a dependable, if not bravura technique, more than sufficient for his refined style.
The evening opened with Serenade, which was followed by a rousing performance of Who Cares?, another ballet long associated with Neal, here led by Tiler Peck, Ana Sophia Scheller, Sterling Hyltin and a happy-go-lucky Robert Fairchild. Neal was to have danced this for his swan song, but a program change (replacing the soon-to-be-forgotten My Name is Ben), let Neal go out with Chaconne.
At his extended, final bows, beneath flying ribbons of confetti, Neal received bouquets from each of the company's current ballerinas, as well as the still-missed Kyra Nichols. Standing alone before the cheering audience, smiling and repeatedly mouthing "thank you" to his admirers. Near the end, he cheerfully mimed flicking beads of sweat from his forehead, as one might at the end of long and arduous labor of love.

Rev Your Engine
An Overview of Moto Grand Prix
If you like to watch the MotoGP races on TV, sit in your armchair with a cold beer in hand, get prepared to take part in the action: the emotion of the race comes to the board with MotoGrandPrix, who will be the first rider to cross the finishing line and see the checkered flag, each player pushing to overtake each other around every turn. MotoGrandPrix is easy, fast, and fun.
EasyThanks to the FlipDiceSystem, MotoGrandPrix is as satisfying for the new to the sport beginner as it is for the racing veteran. With the modular board pieces, you can recreate the most famous tracks out there, or even design your own. Each piece, from the bikes themselves to the roadway pieces are of the highest quality.The fast and realistic dice-based system, the FlipDiceSystem, allows you to modify the results rolled on the dice, similar to gearing up and down. The FlipDiceSystem is based on a simple fact: if you add the opposite sides of a die, you always get a 7. In other words, opposite to a 6 there's a 1, opposite to a 5 there's a 2, and opposite to a 4 there's a 3. So, flipping the dice allows players to accelerate or brake according the features of the track, with straights and bends of varied difficulty. After understanding this simple concept, it's easy to play all the rest, even with the expert rules.FastMotoGrandPrix is an exciting sports race for 2-6 riders and even with 6 players in the expert mode, a complete race with 6 laps does not require more than 60-90 minutes. Each turn every player is actively engaged in the game, with little to no down time There are no strange paths to ensue, no falls or race retirings. From the first to the last lap, you need to find the strategy that will give you the edge to get ahead. The game allows you to organize single races all the way up to championships and gatherings with a lot of players: with two or more sets, is possible to build circuits and to organize GPs with any racetrack you want.FunMotoGP prides itself on being a game anyone can play. Race fans of all ages and backgrounds can get together and enjoy the game. The base level requires being able to count to 12, a small amount of strategy, and a little luck; the more advanced levels will require players to manage the stats of the bikes, maintain and repair the engines, and flip the dice to get the most of out each turn. The fun starts at the first lap and increases during the game, lasting until crossing the finishing line. You will see yourself leaning in the bends, popping wheelies down the straight aways and racing at break neck speed to the finish line.
An entire race in a boxMotoGrandPrix presents a rich set of components: 72 racetracks tiles which allow you to build ten different circuits, by features and difficulty; 6 splendid models in scale which accurately reproduce famous GPs' bikes, provided with a special base which allows you to render the rider's driving –going straight, leaning and doing wheelies; 6 cockpit boards for managing the bike's features during the race (tires and brake consumption, the extended use of the engine) and tons of accessories to vary the tracks' features, and a rulebook structured in three different levels to support the players' experience. Putting together more sets, it's possible to organize races with more players, without changing the rules, and to outline bigger and more challenger circuits every time. The red lights are swiched on, get ready: the race is going to start!

Hello, Artist daily members!
I have started working more and more on landscape scenery, more specifically cityscapes. I have taken many images down in Cape Girardeau, MO, and you may have seen a couple on the member Gallery posts.
This time I will share with you my endeavor into a new painting that I have started drawing out couple of days ago. It's also a scene from Cape Girardeau, right next to the Mississippi river. Riverside historic area of the city.
1. I have drawn out the composition from the photo that I pulled up on the iMac in my classroom. The screen is large enough to see everything well. All I used was 'H' pencil and clear plastic triangular ruler.
2. I blocked the lightest areas with Incredible white mask, and some artist tape. And started on the background sky.
3. I have started working on the brick work of the buildings. I usually put a lighter color down (as an underpainting) and then work the *** using; Burnt Sienna, Azo Crimson, and Yellow Ochre.
YVS, it is looking really good so far.
Margo Schwirian Fine Art
Thank you Margo!
Here's a little update. Finished up the brick on the deck and added some yellow to the columns, and removed some of the masking fluid, about to start the detail on beams, and awnings.
I am really impressed with the brickwork. You did a great job suggesting some bricks and detailing others.
Try painting all the bricks with just one brushstroke
I appreciate the suggestion, Denny. But I have never painted all bricks with one stroke, and probably will never use that approach. It just seem impossible to me :)
Anyway, here's a little update of the progress. I worked the beams on the deck and finished up the awning, also done the triple window under the deck.
Thank you Paul! I really appreciate your input!
Quick update before the weekend. I will return with updates on Monday, March 1st. :)
YVS, this is looking terrific. In the very first step, did you put a faint tinting of an aqua under-painting on the building to the left?
You did a great job on the subtle color differences between the tall and the short brick buildings, as well as diffusing the bricks of the farther one. I've only been to Cape Girardeau once, a pass through on our honeymoon trip from Illinois down to New Orleans. Things along the Mississippi definitely begin to feel very 'old south' once you hit southern Illinois. I do miss that river, and it was one of the last things we visited before we moved permanently away from Illinois.
THank you, Margo. Yes, I have added some of that cobalt blue to the windows. To show the reflection later on. I always start of with lightest colors and build up with richer-darker colors.
Kisu, thank you. Cape G. is changing, they are building thngs, and down by the river they are restoring old buildings, it's all the part of the Historical renovation of the downtown. Some clubs and bars are closed up because of that. Although, I think it's actually good for the city, they need more cultural development there, the city lost its interest in the arts and they need to reboost that!
Here's today's progress. I have just worked the building on the left, did some beam work with the base color and some shadow. Using Azo Crimson and Ultramarine blue for the darker areas of the beams and Azo Crimson, Burnet Sienna and Yellow ochre for the brick as usual. I also added some touches of Phtalo Blue and Viridian mix to the windows below. :) Well... back to work!
Ok, the last one for the day. Did some work on the windows below, and the beams.
Lookin' good, Y! Love your handling of the bricks and will second a post above regarding the color diff between back brick bldg and front. The cooler tone in the rear really creates some sep. between the 2. Window reflections coming together nicely!
YVS, this is looking so good. It is so much fun to see it come along from one day to the next.

This campground was so overrun and not well maintained over the years. The bathroom and sinks were horrendous in both locations with multiple types of bugs dirt and grime. The toilets would not flush and were clogged. Management was not available as the hours stated on the office and were not very helpful. The sites were very big but no pull thru. Bugs were horrendous, but the grounds backed up to a river. The sites were muddy and in need of new gravel. The hookups were at the very back of the site so when we arrived we had to run to Walmart for an extension cord. We stayed there for 2 nights while visiting my husbands home town. We will not be staying there again. - pinkarmygal05
Apr 2014 - $34.00
We called before hand to see if they had all the hookups, and they said yes. We got there around 4h00 and the manager wanted us to park in the road but we couldn't get to the 50 amp outlet, so we had to get the manager to come back to give us another site, he gave us a site with no sewer, and gave us the internet log in password, but their network did not work. So for 34 $ it was a robbery. Bad roads in, mud, mud and mud. No service on the grounds. - paks
Oct 2012 - $32.00
The poorest entry/exit roads I have encountered. The interior roads were not much better. The park is not well maintained. You can get an idea of the overall quality of the park when you walk into the office. We will not stay here again. Follow your bliss, but you won't find it here. - Marine

WEST POINT, N.Y. – Holy Cross sophomore forward Raquel Scott (Ridgewood, N.J.) totaled a career-best 27 points to go along with 11 rebounds for her 12th double-double of the season to help lead the Crusaders to a 92-85 triumph over Army in Patriot League women's basketball action on Wednesday evening at Christl Arena. With the win, Holy Cross hands the Black Knights their first home loss of the season and improves to 15-9 overall and 7-6 in the league. Army falls to 17-6 on the season and 9-3 in the conference.
In addition to Scott for the Crusaders, senior guard Alex Smith (Delran, N.J.) tallied 23 points on four of eight shooting from behind the arc, while sophomore guard Kate Gillespie (Washington, D.C.) scored a career-best 16 points and canned five of six from downtown. Second year center Molly Hourigan (Memphis, N.Y.) recorded nine points, 10 rebounds and a career-high eight blocked shots. Army was led by sophomore Kelsey Minato, who set a school record with 49 points, while going 26 of 26 from the free-throw line.
The teams went back and forth to begin the contest, as Holy Cross held the 10-9 lead with 14:57 on the clock. The Crusaders used a 5-0 rally to make the score 15-9 (11:23), but Minato responded with a three-pointer to cut the margin to 15-12. Holy Cross then embarked on a 23-8 surge over the next 8:43 to gain the 38-20 advantage (2:49) – its largest of the contest. Gillespie had nine points during the run, while Smith and senior guard Brisje Malone (Springfield, Mass.) had four apiece. Army cut its deficit to 10 points (40-30) with 18 seconds left, but a three-pointer by Smith to close out the half gave the Crusaders the 43-30 lead at intermission.
In the second stanza, Holy Cross held the 11-point margin (51-40) with 16:26 on the clock, but back-to-back treys by Smith pushed the Crusaders ahead 57-40 (15:46). Army countered with an 11-3 rally to make its deficit single digits (60-51) with 13:26 left in the half, but Holy Cross responded and pushed the lead to 11 points (68-57) at the 10:16 mark on the back of a Gillespie three.
With a 12-point deficit to overcome (72-60), the Black Knights got back into the contest with a 12-2 surge to make the score 74-72 with 6:51 on the clock. Out of a Holy Cross timeout, Smith canned a huge three-pointer to put the Crusaders on top by five (77-72). Holy Cross held the lead over the final 6:35 of the contest, as it did not allow Army to get any closer than five points for the remainder of the game.
Holy Cross connected on 27 of its 55 shots on the night (49.1 percent), while it limited Army to 36.2 percent shooting from the floor (21 of 58). The Crusaders canned 52.9 percent from downtown (9 of 17), while the Black Knights hit six of 18 from behind the arc (33.3 percent). Army shot incredibly well from the free throw line as it hit 37 of its 41 attempts (90.2 percent).
The Crusaders held advantages in assists (14-7), blocked shots (10-3), points in the paint (26-22) and second chance points (14-9), while they were outmatched in rebounding (39-35) and points off turnovers (18-15). Both teams were in foul trouble for the majority of the game, as there were 58 combined personal fouls.
During the contest, Smith moved into eighth place all-time in Holy Cross history in total points, as she now has 1,546. Hourigan also is now in seventh place in school history with 84 blocked shots in her career, as the eight blocks tonight were the second most by a Crusader in a single game. The 92 points scored by Holy Cross tied its season-high and it was also the most allowed by Army all season.
The Crusaders return to action on Saturday, Feb. 15, when they will host Lehigh at the Hart Center for a 3:00 p.m. tipoff. The team will host its annual "Pink Zone" game and honor its graduating players on "Senior Day."

Admissions Decisions
Timing of Admissions Decisions
Applicants are notified of a decision as early as November and notifications continue through late April. The Admissions Committee uses a modified rolling admissions process. Files are reviewed in the order in which they are completed, but decisions are not necessarily made in the order in which applications are received and reviewed. With a large volume of applications, the Levin College of Law uses a holistic and comparative review process, and many files are held for additional review throughout the admissions cycle.
The Levin College of Law's Application Status Online (ASO) allows applicants to view their current application status as well as announcements from the Office of Admissions. The ASO also contains applicants' contact information and a record of required materials received such as the resume, admissions statement, and letters of recommendation. Please visit ASO at: http://www.law.ufl.edu/admissions/apply/standards-for-admission/applicant-status-online-aso
Petitioning for Reconsideration
Applicants who have been denied admission can request reconsideration only in cases where the applicant has learned of significant additional information that was not available at the time of the original application. The Admissions Committee's original decision would have been based upon all academic and non-academic information included in the original application. Information about events, such as grades or awards, occurring after the March 15th file completion deadline cannot be considered. The Committee's decision on a petition for reconsideration is final and is not subject to further appeal.
A written request must include an explanation of the new information as well as valid reasons warranting reconsideration, and should be submitted to the Assistant Dean for Admissions, University of Florida Levin College of Law, 141 Bruton-Geer Hall, P. O. Box 117622, Gainesville, FL 32611-7622.
The Wait List Process
Each year the Levin College of Law receives a large volume of applications for admission. Based on prior years' admissions cycles, the College of Law develops models that allow us to predict how many candidates who are offered admission to UF Law will choose to enroll. This, however, is never an exact science. In some years we may have more students enrolling than we anticipate, while in other years we may have fewer students in the entering class than we expect.
In order to ensure that we enroll the target number of students in the entering class, the Admissions Committee creates a "wait list" of candidates. Please review the following frequently asked questions for additional information on the wait list process and procedures.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 3D Camera is Now Available
Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 3D camera is what is considered as the first actual alternative in the form of a portable digital camera of the very popular among 3D users Fujifilm Real 3D W1/W3 compact digital cameras is now available on the market and you can get it for $499 USD. The Lumix DMC-3D1 camera comes equipped with dual 12-megapixel sensors capable of capturing stereo 3D photos with a maximum resolution of 3264Ã?2448 (8 Megapixels with 4:3 aspect) or 3264Ã?1840 (6 Megapixels with 16:9 aspect ratio) as well as 3D video with Full HD 1920Ã?1080 resolution (Side by Side with half horizontal resolution, 60i for the NTSC model and 50i for the PAL model). The camera also comes with 4x optical zoom, optical stabilization system, 3.5-inch touchscreen display that is unfortunately not autostereoscopic 3D capable, but there is a HDMI 1.4 output for direct connection to a 3D-capable display.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 3D camera's interaxial distance should be very close to 3 centimeters or around 1.2 inches based on the officially announced camera size and the photos of the device, but the exact distance between the two lenses of the camera still hasn't been officially announced. This is about half of the interaxial distance that the Fujifilm 3D cameras have, meaning that the Panasonic's product should be more suitable for closer photography in 3D mode. The fact that the Lumix DMC-3D1 does not feature an autostereoscopic 3D display that can be used for direct previewing of the images and video you've shot in 3D mode is a serious drawback in the useability of the device in stereo 3D mode as well. If you were so eager to get one of these and try it out, you are welcome to confirm the exact interaxial distance as well as to share your feedback from the product and even some sample 3D photos and 3D videos you have recordedâ?¦

Learning how to use Adobe Photoshop efficiently and effectively is the best way to get the most out of your pixels and create stunning imagery. Master the fundamentals of this program with Julieanne Kost, and discover how to achieve the results you want with Photoshop and its companion programs, Bridge and Camera Raw. This comprehensive course covers nondestructive editing techniques using layers, masking, adjustment layers, blend modes, and Smart Objects. Find out how to perform common editing tasks, including lens correction, cropping and straightening, color and tonal adjustments, noise reduction, shadow and highlight detail recovery, sharpening, and retouching. Julieanne also shows how to achieve more creative effects with filters, layer effects, illustrative type, and the Photomerge command for creating panoramas and composites.
Keywords are another type of metadata that can help you find the images that you want to work with. Depending on the types of projects you work on, you may decide to add several keywords per image or you might only need one or two. For example, a photographer who's shooting stock will want to add a lot of keywords to their images, so that other people can search on those keywords to find the images. Whereas a portrait photographer might only add the client name and the type of session such as an engagement session to their keywords. In order to make sure that we're all viewing the same work space, let's click where it says Essentials at the top and then use the drop down menu to reset the work space. Now, I don't need to see the preview, so I'll double click on the Preview tab in order to collapse it.
And I don't need to see file properties, so I'll click on the triangle to collapse that as well. In the IPTC Core area, you can see that I can add a keyword by just clicking to the right of the keyword, but before I add a keyword let's go ahead and select all of my images. So with the first one selected I'll hold down the Shift key and select all of the images. Now I'll add my keyword. In this case I'm just going to add the word Beijing and then I'll click on the check mark in order to add that.
If I want to add keywords to a limited set of images, then all you need to do is select that set and then click again in the keyword area. I'll type a comma in order to separate the keywords and this time I'll type in Forbidden City. (SOUND) Again, I'll click on the check in order to apply that. Then, I'll select the rest of the images here, and we'll add another keyword. In this case, Lama Temple.
Again, I'll click the check mark, but this time when I click the check mark to apply it, if you look in the lower left hand corner you'll notice that Bridge presents an icon to tell me that the information is being embedded in the images. So this is one way that you can apply keywords using the metadata panel. But there's also a keywords panel, so let's deselect all of our images and then click on the keywords panel. Because we don't have any of our images selected, it doesn't look like we've added any keywords.
But if I do select all of my images, you can see that we've added three other keywords. If I want to promote these keywords so that they show up like the other default keywords all I need to do is drag them out of the other keywords area. If I click and drag down and then release my mouse you can see that it's become a keyword that's going to be permanent. Now I can also decide if I want these three keywords to be at the same level or if I want to create a hierarchy.
And there is an advantage to creating a hierarchy. A hierarchy will allow me to apply more than one keyword at a time. So let's go ahead and drag the Forbidden City keyword into the Beijing keyword, and I'll do the same for the Lama Temple. Now, it looks like they've disappeared, but if I use the disclosure triangle, we can see that those keywords are now permanent and they're both sub-keywords of the parent keyword, Beijing. If I want to add aditional keywords in the keyword panel, probably the easiest thing to do is to be certain that I don't have any images selected.
So I'll deselect the images in the content window and then I'll click on the plus icon. Because I have the Bejing keyword selected, when I click the plus icon, it will put it at the same level as Bejing. So, for example, if I type in China. And then, hit the Return key. You can see that, even though it's below Beijing, it's at the same level. It's just below it because it's alphabetical. If I want to make Beijing a sub-keyword of China, all I need to do is drag it on top of the word China, and it will become a sub-keyword.
Now if I wanted to add a keyword, for example, inside the Forbidden City, if I select Forbidden City, instead of clicking on the New Keyword icon, I can click on the New Sub-Keyword icon and you can see that it automatically creates the hierarchy for me. So, in this case, I might want to type in Building. Tap Return and it will go ahead and create that. Now if I wanted to apply the keyword Building to different images, I could select them and then click to the left in the empty box in order to apply them.
Let's do the same for the Lama Temple. I'm going to deselect all of my images in the content area by just clicking in this gray area. Selecting the Lama Temple keyword and then clicking to add a new sub-keyword, in this case I'll add Bridge. Then I'll select my three images and apply the Bridge keyword. And if I decide now that I want to add the China keyword to all of these images, I simply need to select one, hold down the Shift key, select the rest of them. And then click to the left to add the China key word. The thing to be careful of is you need to make sure you have the right images selected before you start adding your keywords.
So it's really up to you whether you want to create a hierarchical keyword list and then apply those keywords to your images or if you simply want to use the metadata panel in order to apply keywords. One of the benefits of using the keyword panel is that these keywords will then remain easily accessible when you move from folder to folder. Because we've made them permanent, because they're no longer just under this other keywords area. And if you don't want these keywords that ship by default all you need to do is select the keyword and then choose Delete in order to remove those.
So let's go ahead and delete all of these. One last shortcut to just mention, even though all of these images already have the China keyword and Beijing keyword assigned to them. If I did want to add for example another keyword and apply the entire keyword hierarchy at once, let's say for example that I want to add Bridge as a keyword. If the Lama Temple and Beijing and China weren't already selected, in fact I can just turn those off for a moment. I just want to show you that if you hold down the Shift key and you click on the keyword Bridge, the shift key enables Bridge the application to assign not only Bridge the keyword but also up the hierarchy to Lama Temple, Beijing, as well as China.
So you can see how easy it is to make keyword categories and keywords, which will make it a lot easier in the future for me to find these images that have these keywords applied.

To Combs, then, the trend precedes the rapper.
Dave Karraker, vice president of communications for Allied Domecq, takes a different view.
"In 2002, when 'Pass the Courvoisier' came out, our brand spiked 30 percent," Karraker reports from his office in Westport, Connecticut. "Cognac has been a popular drink of African Americans since the 1940s, but we've really seen an increase in consumption since African Americans have had an outlet to discuss what's important to them -- and that's hip-hop music.
"Gangsta rappers weren't rapping about the things they aspire to have; they were rapping about the realities of the streets," Karraker continues. "Hip-hop music is more inspirational now than it was then. Look at the Cadillac Escalade, it's a perfect example."
Peretha Lewis, who along with her sister Vivian co-owns the East Coast Lounge on North Broadway in St. Louis, offers half-pint "setups" of Cognac and soda to her patrons for $11. "It's picked way up from what it used to be," says Lewis, dating the turnaround to about 1998. "We sell all kinds of Cognac, but it's mostly been Hennessy."
St. Louis liquor czar Bob Kraiberg has not yet detected any significant rise in the level of broken Cognac bottles on the city's streets. Nor have the likes of Doctor Fagget denounced Courvoisier, whose alcohol content is 40 percent -- 80 proof -- as "meth in a tumbler."
Then there's the cost-value calculus: Should working-class warriors shell out their hard-earned bucks for a yacht-club cocktail while going into arrears on last month's gas bill?
"I have my doubts about Cognac, because the psychic rewards from going high-end actually return illusory benefits," opines George Hacker, head of the alcohol policy project at Washington, D.C.-based Center for Science in the Public Interest. "Its popularity has to do with status, but it's not like buying a house. I don't think it has any real return for any population -- it's just potentially being hooked on a high-dollar drug."
Malt liquor was born because it had to be. The so-called Greatest Generation would have parched without it.
"It was a product of rationing during World War II," imparts Dennis "Beer Hall of Fame" Buettner. "They had a shortage of malt, so they decided they could do that with corn. And they kept making it."
According to beer historian Winship's reportage, Clix Malt Liquor was the first of its kind, in 1937, followed five years later by Sparkling Stite by Gluek. The latter's peculiar moniker touches on the tone of early malt pushers, who took their corn-based brew on a Champagne campaign that would make 50 Cent proud.
"It is a style that was originally made to be lighter," chimes in All About Beer magazine's Julie Bradford. "It was designed to appeal to the Champagne crowd. Malt liquor is simply a lager-style beer elevated to greater alcohol levels through brewing techniques that wring the last bit of alcohol out of the available sugar. It's just not very nice-tasting.
"Malt liquor has a rough-and-ready image now," Bradford continues. "But it takes a lot to put that stuff down."
The advent of Colt .45 showed brewers' willingness to use the product's gritty profile to their advantage. Colt, after all, is named after a lethal weapon and features as its logo a feral stallion that looks primed to break down the barn. Schlitz countered with its own logo, a bull, only to be succeeded by brands named after dragons, cobras, canines, lions, tigers and bears. (Oh my!)
"[It was] Noah's Ark gone bad, a wild kingdom in the cooler," Winship writes. "The allusions to potency were unleashed and unbridled."
Until that point, the face of post-civil rights Colt .45 was St. Louisan Redd Foxx, who gave the brew a crack-a-cold-one-on-your-dusty-porch charm. But in 1986 super-suave film icon Billy Dee Williams signed on as Colt .45's spokesman, announcing to television audiences that Colt .45 "works every time" -- typically speaking into the camera as some tall drink of hot cocoa attempted to rip off his blazer and chomp on his chest hair.
Wilt Chamberlain, the seven-foot basketball star who once scored 100 points in a single game and claimed to have notched 300 times that total in the bedroom, was subsequently recruited to promote Falstaff's Haffenreffer Private Stock malt liquor. "Nobody does it bigger," Wilt the Stilt bragged of his brand. Midnight Dragon took the sexual innuendo up yet another notch with a poster featuring a woman, a straw, some beer and the caption: "I could suck on this all night."
The promiscuous marketing campaign didn't fade until around the time malt liquor did, in the mid-'90s. Its apex may have been the 1995 introduction of a brand called Johnny 3 Legs (which requires no elaboration).
By the turn of the century, Forties of malt liquor had been left for dead, the product of sordid craftsmanship and a reputation to match. Antiquated delivery method, antiquated brewing method -- in short, there was no compelling reason for anyone to rescue either Forties or malt liquor.
Which is exactly why Sam Calagione is trying to save them both.
"Whenever something becomes out of fashion, there's always one person out there who tries to turn it around just for sport," says Dennis Buettner. "Sam is that guy."

Neat Solutions Review
Neat Solutions is a company that makes products for on-the-go moms [which ones aren't?] with babies and kids. One of my biggest worries when it comes to the littles is germs. I worry about germs with myself, and kids are even worse because they are in it all! They have to touch, smell, taste anything they can. That's where Neat Solutions comes into play. They make products to help you keep your little germ-free [or as close as possible] without being a hassle. They offer products like table toppers [great for eating out], potty toppers [great for public restrooms and newly potty trained kids], changing pads, disposable bibs, and more. Seriously, a great company!
I got to review the potty toppers. Punk is 8, so she's been potty trained for plenty of time, but she's really small for her age! She's barely big enough to get her bum up onto most public bathroom seats. These are great for her because she can stick one down and then doesn't have to worry about getting germs from the toilet seat. Not only are these great for kids, but moms too! Don't you ever worry about using public bathrooms? I know I do. Plus, they come folded up pretty small so it's not like you're carrying around something gigantic – it easily tucks into your purse so you can use it when needed. I would definitely suggest these for anyone that uses public bathrooms, ever.

KINGSTON, R.I. -- October 24, 2003 -- The University of Rhode Island Honors Colloquium will present a conversation and performance with David Kim, concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and other world-class musicians on Monday, Nov. 3.
The musical program, "Intercultural Journeys in Music," will be held in Edwards Auditorium on the Kingston Campus at 7 p.m. Like all programs in the colloquium titled "The Futures of Globalization," the performance is free and open to the public.
Along with Kim, founder and director of the Kingston Chamber Music Festival, the musicians are: Ohad Bar-David, cellist, Philadelphia Orchestra and artistic director of Intercultural Journeys; Simon Shaheen, violinist, composer, and producer of the Annual Arab Festival of Arts, and the annual Arabic Music Retreat; Jonathan Beiler, violin, Philadelphia Orchestra; Anna Marie Ahn Peterson, viola, Philadelphia Orchestra and a percussionist to be announced.
The URI College of Arts and Sciences and Theta Chi Fraternity are the sponsors of the program.
The event promises an extraordinary program of global music, demonstrating not only the best of artistic quality, but also the broad reach of art and the international calling of world-class musicians.
Kim, a South Kingstown native and world acclaimed violinist, is coordinating the program.
The first part of the evening will be in the hands of the world-class Israeli cellist, Ohad Bar-David, president of Intercultural Journeys. Along with Simon Shaheen, one of the most significant Arabic musicians of his generation, along with a renowned Palestinian percussionist from New York City, they will offer the flavor of Middle Eastern music, particularly that of the Arab and Jewish cultures.
Intercultural Journeys was founded by several artists who strive to bring the richness of art forms from other cultures to the attention of Americans, with the belief that appreciation of other cultures is an important step toward global harmony. "It is our belief that beautiful performances done for the purpose of bringing people together, who might otherwise be in conflict, gives us the opportunity to play a small part in contributing to world peace," the organization says on its web site.
Bar-David and the other musicians will engage in a brief discussion of their performance and their work, with a focus on the impact of globalization on todays artist. Providence Journal music critic Channing Gray will moderate the discussion.
The second part of the evening will be devoted to more traditional chamber music with a performance of Antonin Dvoraks well-known String Quartet No. 12 "American" in F Major (Opus 96) by the participants from the Philadelphia Orchestra. Kim selected this piece, in part, to demonstrate that classical music always has and always will be a global venture. Dvorak, a Czech composer, wrote this quartet in the 1890s while visiting the town of Spillville, Iowa, blending his own background as a famous European composer with motifs of indigenous American music and culture.

A 33-year-old man was arrested Saturday on charges that he punched a Charleston police officer investigating a complaint of people drinking in Marion Square, according to an incident report.
Christopher David Browder, 33, of Meeting Street faces two counts of assaulting a police officer.
Officers from the Charleston Police Department responded to the park around 3:50 p.m. Saturday after an off-duty officer reported seeing four people drinking there.
The police found 31-year-old Charlene Oberholtzer sitting on a park bench with a bottle of E&J Brandy, according to the report. A few ounces of liquor remained in the bottle, which was confiscated.
Oberholtzer, a roommate of Browders, was ticketed for drinking in public.
As the police wrote a citation for Oberholtzer, Browder was walking from a Circle K store across the street back toward the park.
When officers asked to speak with him, Browder suddenly swung a punch at Officer (Cameron) Woody, striking him in the left side of his forehead, the report states.
Browder continued to fight as other officers joined the struggle, according to the report. Another officer eventually joined and used her stun gun to shock the man into submission.
Paramedics tended to Browder at the scene, and he was later taken to jail.

Atlanta, Georgia
Of an estimated 17 632 participants of the 1979 Peachtree Road Race, a 10-km race held at 0800 on 4 July in Atlanta, Georgia, 29 had severe heat injury (collapse with altered mental status and rectal temperature of 39.7 °C or greater); all 29 recovered promptly. The temperature was 24.0 °C; the relative humidity, 83%; and the wet bulb-globe index, 23.0 °C. Compared with unaffected participants matched by age, sex, and predicted finishing time, case-runners were taller, had slower best recent 1.6-km and 10-km times, had run less in June, were more likely to achieve 89% of estimated maximum aerobic capacity during the race, less often splashed with water, were more likely to have underestimated their predicted finishing times based on their best recent 10-km times, and were more likely to live in Georgia. Height, sprinkler use, and underestimating predicted finishing times were each significant in the presence of the others. These observations suggest that participants of similar races, particularly those taller than 179.2 cm, should splash with water at least twice and base their predicted finishing times on their best recent 10-km times; adherence to these recommendations by runners at risk should reduce their severe heat injury risk at least 8.1 times.

The lengthy negotiation of almost seven hours was concluded with a compromise. The team which represented the Hungarian Presidency played an important part in reaching the agreement. Along the way, they felt and acknowledged the weight of the responsibility that falls to Ministers who chairs the meetings.
The event was organised by the Negotiation Moot Association, founded by Márton Hajdú and Gergely Polner in 2008. Now serving as the Hungarian Presidency's spokespersons in Brussels, they were also members of the jury. The main activity of the association is to organise competitive negotiation simulation games, called EU Negotiation Moot for university students. Márton Hajdú said that as "eurocrats" from Brussels, they sought to bring the EU closer to Hungarians by founding the association. During the course of a negotiation simulation, students learnt about the ways in which the EU works and functions, and acquired skills that were not included in the university curriculum, such as negotiation techniques, presentation skills and group work.
Sándor Gyula Nagy, Vice Dean for Education of Corvinus University of Budapest, encouraged the initiative of the association, and EU negotiation techniques be incorporated into the curriculum of MA students at the Faculty of Economics as an elective course.
Apart from the two Presidency spokespersons in Brussels and Sándor Gyula Nagy, the members of the jury were Piroska Bakos, spokesperson in Hungary, Tamás Szűcs, Head of the European Commission's Representation in Hungary, István Joó EU expert, Ákos Madari, communication attaché of the European Parliament's information office in Budapest, and István Perger, the European Parliament's press attaché in Brussels.
In groups of three, students had to choose a country, prepare arguments for the purpose to represent their chosen country's interests during the budgetary debate. After the presentation of the position of each country, the jury held a mid-term evaluation, which was then followed by the budgetary debate. Since the informal bilateral and plenary meetings yielded no result, another round of negotiations was needed.
After a lengthy debate, a new budget was finally agreed on at six o'clock in the evening. Compared to the preceding budget, this one reduces administrative costs and increases (to varying extents) the funds earmarked for enhancing competitiveness, cohesion support, agricultural and rural development, and migration management.
Kinga Bakos, Kata Bors and Kinga Krupanics, Masters in International Economy students, had an opportunity to experience the hardships of the Presidency's tasks. They thought their task was harder than that of other teams, as they had to represent Hungary's position, coordinate the discussions and, at the same time, fulfil administrative tasks, and above all else, to promote compromises.
"The girls showed that unless the Presidency assumes a leading role, discussions could easily get bogged down. By the end, we came to realise that if the Presidency takes a lead, it can overcome what previously seemed to be insurmountable obstacles," highlighted Márton Hajdú. One of the most important lessons of the simulation was that it showed the Presidency's scope of action, and its means of influencing the course of discussions (for example, by deciding on the order of votes).
Eventually, all participating students received an A for their course, and the jury awarded the first prize to the delegation representing Germany. The members of the first three teams won a study trip to Brussels.

I ordered a turkey burger deluxe and I was very disappointed. The turkey burger was spongy and had no flavor. The fries were skinny, soggy, and tasteless. For $9.00, I expected much, much more. In addition, the decor of the "restaurant" was kind of drab and dingy. Looking back, I should've left as soon as I saw the atmosphere.

Not so much.
Posted by Don on 09/30/2009
From burgers to PhiilyCheesesteaks, this place is indeed a palace. I have been ordering delivery from them for 16 years and the food and service has never wavered. Burgers done on the flat top grill are the absolute best. I have spent my life in the wine and food business and Jimbos rules. It is a neighborhood treasure. To not look at in that light is just foolish. I couldn't imagine a better burger/sandwich joint.
Posted by Dean on 03/10/2009
The cook never acknowledges you when you give in your order. Not a nod, smirk, sniff, cough, nor blink. Got the Texas Burger done medium well because they use frozen patties and I can't do medium rare from a freezer disc. The guy poke holes in my burger with his spatula to make it cook faster, and then practically pressed out all traces of moisture. When I picked up my burger, it fell right out of the bun into three pieces. I was livid. Even as I spoke up, he just continued to ignore me. The burger was dry as a sponge, and my coworkers and I left smelling like wet beef. Don't even bother with this place.
Posted by Danni Nicole on 12/08/2008
Great hidden treasure in the middle of nowhere. I got EXACTLY what I came looking for: A Huge, Meaty, Classic burger, that wasn't a frozen patty. I came for take out which is recommended if you don't plan on sitting at the counter, watching the cook make the meal. Other than that- Take your burger to go... get home... praise the Lord, and chow down! (And I'm not a much of a fry eater but... I liked the fries and so did everyone else that kept digging in my plate.)
Posted by Foodboy on 11/24/2008
I enjoy eating at Jimbo's and highly recommend the hamburger. It's good quality and they grill it to order fresh. I am disappointed by the French Fries, though. They come out of a freezer bag and have no taste. They're just not worth the calories! It's amazing how much better French Fries can be just about anywhere else. Nearly every diner or fast food joint has good fries. It's a shame that Jimbo's opts for the cheapest most tasteless fries available. My advice: just get the burger!
Walk down First Avenue and you could very well miss this place. It's TINY! It doesn't matter though, because if you are on the same side of the street as Jimmy's, you will be lured by the amazing smell of HAMBURGER. You could be blindfolded and you would know - this scent is not a steak it is a large, juicy burger. Your mouth will water. I walked by this place several times on my way home from work, and one day I was just drawn in because it smelled amazing. The burger did not disappoint - large, cooked medium rare as ordered, juicy, and with cheese, L&T, and fries, heaven on a plate. Also, bonus points in my book to a place in Manhattan that does not give a rat's @$$ about being anything but a burger joint/lunch counter. This place is timeless, but places like this are becoming rare in Manhattan, where we are falling prey to theme park ambiance. Recommended.

Lobo Football
What: Lobos at Texas A&M
When: 5 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 5
Radio: 770 KKOB-AM. TV: None
By Richard Stevens -- Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
When you crack open a new era, you need to look beyond Xs and Os, no-huddle offenses and the tangibles of this smash-mouth game of football. You need to get in touch with something emotional and passionate found in a deep, inner pocket that logic has yet to invade.
You have to taste and savor this game, this moment, this beginning, with your heart and your dreams and maybe even your gut. This is a visceral thing. You tell reason to stay away for a while.
It's this way when the Mike Locksley era of University of New Mexico football unveils itself in the hostile and intimidating confines of a massive structure and a massive tradition called Kyle Field.
Sure, the moment and the movement officially begins when Locks' Lobos hook up with Texas A&M Aggies and battle over a football in the heart of Texas. Sure, there are important game matters such as how UNM's no-huddle, multi-Lobo attack will look and how the always-aggressive Lobo defense adjusts to their new 4-3 face.
Sure, individual play from Donovan Porterie, Demond Dennis, Jaymar Latchison, Ian Clark, Frankie Solomon, Frankie Baca, Carmen Messina, Clint McPeek, James Aho, Kendall Briscoe, Erik Cook, Joshua Taufalele, etc., will be vital to Lobo success.
But those are game things. What happens in College Station isn't something to be documented merely on the scoreboard = win or lose.
As much as anything, this encounter with A&M Aggies is the unveiling of grandiose Lobo hopes and dreams. This is the first step in what many fans see as a strong stride into a promising future. This is why Paul Krebs, UNM's Vice President in charge of athletics, hired Locksley and didn`t talk Rocky Long off the ledge.
The experts from coast-to-coast predict this will be a tough season for UNM's first-year head coach in his first go-around as the top guy in a program. The Lobos have been projected to win as few as a single game.
The Mountain West Conference poll slipped the Lobos into the No. 7 hole probably a reflection of UNM's 4-8 season of 2008 and probably a reflection of all the newness coming into the Lobo program.
That's the reality stuff. It's fair stuff, too. Sometimes a new offense doesn't click for a while, for a season. Sometimes you are just too far behind teams like Utah, TCU and BYU to leap at them in a single bound and in a single season.
But sometimes you have to juggle that reality with what you see in front of you. Locksley appears to be a first-class catch both as a head coach and as a recruiter. It's probably fair to say in his abbreviated recruiting period he brought in as much pure talent as Rocky Long did in any of his 11 seasons.
But did Locksley bring in the toughness, the team-first discipline, the chip-on-the-shoulder anger?
It's also probably fair to say that the first-year staff of Locksley's rivals any All-Star coaching staff you could throw together from the Long era. These Locksley guys can coach. They have Hall of Fame resumes. But is the talent they are trying to mold into winners in 2009 too young, not yet ready, not yet deep enough?
Lots of questions -- about the season, about the A&M game which favors the Aggies and not the visitors from the West. "We know it's a challenge," said Locksley. "But it's also an opportunity."
One way to look at any game is to pretend you live in some faraway spot like Rolla, N.D. or maybe Blythe, Calif., and predict the game as if you had no emotional ties or interest in the outcome.
In that case, a guy from Rolla might say Texas A&M 35, New Mexico 14. It would be a reasonable guess. The A&M staff is in its second year. Kyle Field is worth 14 points. The Lobos are pups. A&M is a finishing school for NFL talent.
Again, you become a juggler. You swallow the reality of the challenge ahead of the Lobos and you consider what you have seen on the Lobo practice fields.
You have seen Donovan Porterie throw, react and act better than ever. You see in Demond Dennis and A.J. Butler maybe the best 1-2 running punch the Lobos have had in years. You see a massive and focused offensive line charged by Erik Cook and Joshua Taufalele. You see a host of talented receivers hungry to catch the ball.
"I don't think they (A&M) are expecting that much from us. That means they'll be surprised at what they get."
Lobo Defensive End Jaymar Latchison
On defense, you see the energy of Jaymar Latchison, the passion of Ian Clark, the focus of Clint McPeek, the determination of Frankie Solomon and Frankie Baca, the power of Kendall Briscoe. Hey, this is a quick, athletic bunch and they might just wear those big Aggies down.
"I like this team," said Locksley. "These guys have that `it' factor. There is something about them, the way they act, the way they go about their business."
It's similar with Locksley and his staff, too. They have that `it' factor that makes you prepare for good things. Surely, down the road. Maybe at College Station.
"I don't think they (A&M) are expecting that much from us," said Latchison. "That means they'll be surprised at what they get. Come and watch."
Yeah, it would be a great game to watch and not simply because of what a scoreboard shows after a single day of effort. A era of UNM football will be cracked open in College Station. We can't wait to take a peek inside.
