Kuwait City hotels
The Kuwait City Rundown
It has the glimmering high-rises and thrusting skyscrapers. It has the big shiny malls, prohibitively pricey shops and satellite university campuses. Plush international hotels on the Persian Gulf and a sprawling Grand Mosque? Check. A considerable migrant worker class from the Philippines and South Asia? Check. Mammoth mixed-use urban areas in the works? You get the point. Indeed, in many ways, Kuwait City mirrors the likes of Manama, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Jeddah, only on a pint-sized scale.
The capital of Kuwait is a Lilliputian microcosm of the Arabian Peninsula's sweeping, now decades-long transformation from a one-dimensional crude oil reserve to, well, something else. Financial services, shipping, construction and, increasingly, leisure tourism, are all blazing bold new trails in Kuwait. Of course, oil still drives the bus in the affluent, diminutive Arab state. Kuwait famously has one of the highest per capita incomes and a brazenly free, unrestrained economy that features not only the highest-valued currency in the world but a budget surplus in the tens of billions USD. Enviable stuff indeed and all a manifest product of the global demand for crude.
Kuwait City basks in the glow of all that black gold. The incomparable wealth is most palpable in Qurtoba and on Damascus street, a covey of corniche and waterfront resorts, upscale expat bars and nightclubs and, most notably, an incessant, ever-striving skyline and urban landscape.
Kuwait City's Top 10
10. Beit Dickson is the stately home of a former British official that fills in quite nicely as a period museum.
5. National Museum of Kuwait had to be rebuilt by fits and starts after the Iraqi invasion and is still a work in progress.
9. Kuwait Science and Natural History Museum is big on oil industry propaganda and exhibits but is worth a look, if only to enlighten and educate on the linchpin facet of the national economy. The museum also has a planetarium and some fossils of note.
4. Liberation Tower's revolving restaurant and lofty observation deck is no longer open to the public for security reasons. The conspicuous structure is a symbol of Kuwait's resurgence after the Gulf War.
8. Grand Mosque is the bellwether temple of Kuwait, with a maximum capacity of up to 11,000 worshippers (10,000 of them men). Exquisite ornamentation and a massive carpark to boot.
3. The Scientific Center contains a terrific aquarium and IMAX cinema.
7. Beit al-Badr is a rare mid-19th century mud-house relic in a city overrun with oil wealth developments.
2. Kuwait Fish Market is the liveliest point of interest in the city, bar none.
6. Old Suq is Kuwait City's most eclectic traditional marketplace. A good place to people-watch and grab breakfast or lunch.
1. Kuwait Towers dominate the skyline as keystone icons of Kuwait City.

Kuwait City Local
Kuwait City barely contains 95,000 people, or less than half the population of the City of Westminster. To be fair, "metropolitan" Kuwait City exceeds 2.3 million people but, then, is practically contiguous with the entire nation of Kuwait as a whole.
The national capital is breathtakingly easy to navigate on foot, or much more wisely, via the comfort of a cab. Kuwait City's six Ring Roads ferry congestion to and from the city, courtesy of the Maghreb Expressway, Fahaheel Expressway, Shuwaikh, Fahaheel, Jahra and all-important Gulf Street, a vital artery in the city. Arabian Gulf Street and Fahd Al Salim Street provide the bulk of coastal and commercial activity in the city and, as such, emerge as singular, pulse point thoroughfares in Kuwait.
Kuwait City Eat & Drink
A parade of gourmet restaurants in Kuwait City fall in line with the capital's moneyed demands for arrant, flagrant luxury. While palatial décor and rare, costly ingredients are most definitely on the plate, the city has a slew of budget options as well, from casual suq stalls to convivial shawarma and curry shops.
Sarai (Al Bidaa) is the first and best Armenian restaurant in Kuwait City.
Burj al Hamam (Arabian Gulf St) is a popular shisha and mezze restaurant with views of the sea.
Le Notre (Arabian Gulf St) is a lovely French café with great views of the Kuwait Towers.
Restaurant 99 (Al Soor St) is a reliable bet for a quick meal on the go.
The Meat Co. (360 Mall) grills the best steak in Kuwait City.
Suq al Mobarkia (Mubarak al-Kabir, Ahmad al-Jaber & Ali al-Salem Sts) contains a plethora of affordable and generous kebab stands.
Asha's (Arabian Gulf St) serves some of the best Indian cuisine in Kuwait.
Beit 7 (Usama Ben Monqiz St) is a heritage house restaurant with a breezy interior courtyard.
Totally Fish (Marina Crescent) is a wildly popular fish and seafood emporium.
Mais Alghanim (Gulf Rd, across from Kuwait Towers) is a classic for fresh juices and exquisite hot and cold mezze.
Kuwait City Events
Kuwait City has a smattering of annual events beyond the usual spate of traditional religious celebrations common in the Arab and Muslim world. More arts and culture festivals will most certainly come to the capital as it looks to increase its profile in the Abu Dhabi-Dubai-Doha mold.
Hala February is Kuwait's annual spring bash and a festive time of renewal. A wide range of cultural events take place throughout the month.
National Day celebrates the creation of the nation-state of Kuwait every February 25.
Liberation Day, the day after National Day, marks the anniversary date of the end of the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait.
The Gulf Jazz Festival in late April draws a modest lineup of acts to Kuwait City and Doha, Qatar.
Eid al Fitr marks the end of Ramadan in the Muslim world and falls sometime in August or September. All in all a merry, venerable time to be in Kuwait City.
Green Caravan Film Festival, a relatively new festival held in late October and early November, is a first in Kuwait and, indeed, the Arabian Peninsula. The festival is entirely dedicated to raising awareness about environmental issues in the Persian Gulf and around the world.
When To Go
The weather in Kuwait City is dominated by the vast Arabian desert which, rather predictably, sends intense, oppressive heat and arid conditions the capital's way. The city is particularly difficult on visitors and locals alike throughout the summer months from May to October, when average daytime highs of 113°F (45°C) are the norm. When the mercury soars above the 122°F (50°C) mark, which is not altogether uncommon, Kuwait City is absolutely brutal. Naturally, malls fill in as modern-day, climate-controlled oases.
For the desert heat averse, the best and safest time to visit Kuwait City is undoubtedly from November to March, when temperatures range from a high of 80°F (26°C) to a low of 45.5°F (7.5°C). The mild winter season even features a little rain, with about 25 days of light precipitation in all.
What To Miss
Aside from the cruel, torrid summer hot spells, visitors to Kuwait City need not be wary of too many red flags. The capital is one of the safest in the region and, indeed, Arab world as a whole.
Still, while incidents of petty and violent crime are rare, tourists should, for example, be careful on the roads. Like other urban areas across the Arabian Peninsula, lawlessness rules the roads and conditions are vastly more chaotic than back home. Very little mercy is shown to pedestrians, for instance, who seldom have the right of way.
Additionally, while recent events in the Arab and Muslim world have yet to ripple with any discernible zeal in Kuwait, a few demonstrations have taken place. Though peaceful, it pays to be vigilant when large crowds gather in the city.
Last but certainly not least, remain respectful of Islamic customs and traditions at all times.
Getting Around
Kuwait City is easy to reach from a wide variety of destinations. The country's only international airport, some 15 km south of the capital in Farwaniyah, will be able to serve as many as 20 million passengers a year by 2014. For now, visitors can reach Kuwait City from the likes of London-Heathrow, Mumbai, Frankfurt, Istanbul and Washington-Dulles.
Travellers can, alternatively, access Kuwait City by boat or ferry from Manama, Bahrain and Bushehr, Iran or by bus from Saudi Arabia. Normal visa rules and regulations apply.
Public bus transport in Kuwait City and the country as a whole is comfortable and widely available. Access from residential areas is sparse, however, and passenger congestion is notorious at peak rush hours. For these reasons, Kuwait City's abundant, ubiquitous taxis provide the most popular means for travellers to get around. As a rule, try to call in advance to book a car as much as possible and negotiate fares beforehand.
General Information
The affluent capital of Kuwait is a proverbial study in contrasts in the modern Muslim world. At once traditional, at once cosmopolitan, the city with a metropolitan population of over 2 million people has a foot in both worlds. In the spirit of Dubai, Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain, the Kuwait City skyline has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, with super hotels and lofty condos in the works. Yet despite all the glass and steel, calls to prayer resonate in the streets and remind visitors that this is still a pious and sovereign Arab emirate.
With a top ten per capita income, Kuwait offers tremendous luxury to those that can afford it. The capital city, now two decades removed from Iraq's malicious invasion, is light years from the ominous pictures CNN sent around the world at the height of the Persian Gulf War. From Souq Al-Juma'a to the Kuwait National Museum, Kuwait Science and Natural History Museum, the city is a lively metropolis with many fine attractions to enjoy.

While the holiday season typically calls for sequined dresses and embellished heels, top-tier members of the fashion pack are reaching for a different sort of festive fare this winter: stylish suits! Perhaps a reaction to the overtly feminine silhouettes that captured the spotlight on the fall runways, many resort collections are celebrating unfussy and streamlined shapes, including sharp suits of all shapes and sizes. While these borrowed-from-the-boys separates may not be new per se--after all, Yves Saint Laurent pioneered this look for women in 1966 with his iconic Le Smoking suit--they do look decidedly of-the-moment, thanks to unique silhouettes and chic, monochromatic palettes. Whether it's a plunging neckline like Vanessa Traina or a playfully androgynous look in the vein of Agyness Deyn, this smart after-hours wear is a perfect alternative to your beloved cocktail standards and is, dare we say it, well-suited for all your seasonal soirees.
Since suiting has taken many forms over the year, in order to eschew any sartorial confusion, we'd like to take a moment to contextualize its current place in fashion. We first noticed the power of these solid-colored coordinated separates when we spotted them at Stella McCartney's Resort 11 show. The mid-season collection was a breath of fresh air that took fall's minimalist trend and brushed it with strokes of high-impact color. While the display included whimsical floral frocks and jackets, one of our favorite looks is the featured Blue Jacquard Silk Jacket ($1735, 212.255.1556) and Trousers ($875, 212.225.1556), which also came in a lovely rosy hue. Intrigue is provided not only by the vibrant use of color, but also through the sophisticated textural mix of quilted jacquard pants and a silk jacket. Finally, a thorough, suitable examination of said look would not be complete without drawing attention to its fresh ankle-length trouser shape and sharp, single-breasted blazer.
In case you're still not convinced that a pantsuit is for you, let's take a look at our quartet of stylephiles for more ways to wield this trend. First up is Jessica Alba, who looked absolutely smashing in a D&G Black Satin Blazer ($865, 800.979.3038) and Black Sequin Pants ($965, 800.979.3038) when she attended the Footwear News 24th Annual Achievement Awards at The Museum of Modern Art last month in New York City. Her sexy all-black look is anything but basic, and the harem-shaped pants immediately designate the outfit as sartorially intriguing. Additionally, in light of the holiday season, we appreciate all the festive touches at play: sequin-embellished fabric, a bow-bedecked Christian Louboutin LouLou Clutch ($795, 714.752.9200), and beautiful baubles in the form of an Antique Diamond Riviere Necklace ($485,000) and a Platinum & Diamond Art Deco Bracleet ($425,000) both from Stephen Russell. Of course, a suit-sans-shirt doesn't always require embellishment, as demonstrated by Vanessa Traina when she selected a seriously smoking Givenchy ensemble consisting of a Grain de Poudre Jacket ($2110, 888.222.7639) and Trousers ($825, 888.222.7639) from Resort 11 to attend Givenchy's S/S 11 show during Paris Fashion Week earlier this fall. The plunging neckline and strategically buttoned blazer imbue the look with loads of sex appeal while the proportions--a knee-skimming jacket and flood-length pants--make it feel totally new. Plus, we can hardly ignore the thrilling crimson color; it's a bold choice that works due to the dearth of accessories and overall unfussy approach.
Yet, sultry isn't the only option one must cleave to when trying out this trend. Take, for example, fashion insider Gaia Repossi who dressed with her signature soignee for Altuzarra's S/S 11 show during New York Fashion Week. Ever the paragon of sophisticated neutral dressing, Repossi's all-white, wide-leg Celine suit--comprised of a Cream Linen Jacket, Off-White Crepe de Chine Blouse, and Cream Linen Trousers from Resort 2011--did not disappoint in its Riviera-worthy appeal and effortlessly posh air. Finally, we have Agyness Deyn, who also stayed true to her personal style when she suited up for the New York premiere of the James Franco-headliner 127 Hours in November. The edgy model opted for head-to-toe androgyny with a fitted, menswear inspired suit from the emerging New York line The Cast and Comme des Garcons boots.
While we realize we've often pushed mixed separates in the past--meaning, a jacket from one suit, a skirt from another--this season we're interested in the whole shebang! Enthralled by these head-to-toe ensembles, we recommend taking this opportunity to invest in at least one exceptionally well-made stylish suit you'll wear again and again. Dying to recreate Jessica Alba's directional proportions? Suit yourself with Alexander Wang's Essential Tailored Blazer ($625) and Essential Pleated Trousers ($395), which have a cropped, slightly harem shape akin to Alba's D&G selection, or 3.1 Phillip Lim's Double Breasted Cropped Jacket ($625) and Cuffed Tuxedo Trousers ($375), which mimic Alba's silhouette in a resort-appropriate blush color. Wide-leg style seekers--à la Repossi--should be sure to scoop up Stella McCartney's Lightweight Wool Double Breasted Jacket ($1545) and Trousers ($525) in an always-chic navy hue. Of course, some of you may prefer a lighter-colored variation, so we're also including Gucci's Leather Trim Techno Pants ($384) and Techno Garcon Jacket ($1450) in our roundup.
Still not sure you're suited for this trend? Perhaps Agyness Deyn's sexy androgynous take on the trend is more in keeping with your personal style! If this is the case, you should try Zara's False Plain Blazer ($80) with their Fine Wool Trousers ($60) or Gucci's Knit-Back Flannel Jacket ($1890) and Leather-Waist Flannel Pants ($1195), which are just as stylish but with a slightly longer, more feminine line. Finally, if you're out to make a stellar statement like the trendsetting Traina, opt for Tahari's ASL Ruth Herringbone Suit Jacket ($168) and Madeline Herringbone Pants ($128); the metallic silver is festive and eye-catching while the cropped, flared pant-leg is a undeniably fashion-forward choice.--Liza Kaplan

I am a front-end developer and web developer from the UK. I have worked on a number of projects, some for myself and some for others all of which are detailed below. I also co-host a weekly tech news podcast called 'The Two Techies' of which we have done over 270 episodes in five years.
I am also a motorsports nut so feel free to Tweet me or email me about anything motorsports related!
Currently a web/app developer @ The Outlook Creative Group
I have a fair amount of knowledge and experience with both front-end development and back-end development for the web. All of the applications and projects below are written in PHP, HTML, CSS & Javascript (unless otherwise stated). I have also used a number of other tools and things such as Inuit CSS and SASS to help me create the best code.
I started SyndiFeed a few months before Google announced they would be closing their Google Reader service, at the time I was getting into PHP and web development properly and an RSS reader was my first 'proper' web project.
SyndiFeed is still going today after seeing a rapid growth directly after the closing of Google Reader. It currently has over 2000 users and over 100,000 feeds on the service. I have not worked on SyndiFeed in a number of years but that's all about to change in 2015.
MunchTech.tv is the home of the podcast that I co-host called The Two Techies It is a weekly technology news show of which we have done over 200 episodes to date. I also designed the WordPress theme that the site uses.
In 2015 I created an iOS and Android app for MunchTech.tv. This can be found on the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store.
Farelert was a service built to solve a problem we and many others faced. The idea was that it would allow you to search for flights from point a to point be just like any other flight search website, when you found a flight you could choose to track it. This meant that Farelert would keep tabs on the current price of that flight and keep you informed either through email updates or text alerts. You could use the Farelert dashboard to see the price trend of your selected flight over time.
We had a great number of users and people seemed to really enjoy the idea and get good use out of it. In the end the overhead costs (flight data) became too great so in November of 2014 we shuttered the service. We still have a lot of the flight data that was tracked by all of the users and hope to do something with it soon (everyone loves cool graphs!).
I helped build the iOS & Android app for getWaiter! which is a service that aims to improve your restaurant experience. No more waving your hands in the air, simply scan the code and use the app to call the waiter, request more drinks or get the bill.
You can find me hiding in a number of areas on the web. If you want to see some of the projects I have open sourced then visit my GitHub profile (it is worth noting that a great number of the projects on there are set to private for business purposes).
Of course you can also find me on Twitter and on Google+. You can also drop me an email (a [at] aaronfisher [dot] co).

Product Test: Tagg Pet Tracker
If you've ever worried that you dog might run away or get lost and you don't have a micro chip for them, today's product may be a good idea. It is called TAGG the Pet Tracker. We bought it at Target for $99.
The Pet Tracker is a pet tracking device that uses advanced GPS and wireless technology to track your pet's location and activity from your computer or mobile device, 24 hours a day. If your pet strays from your Tagg zone, the Tagg system alerts you by email or text message, so you can find him on a map and bring him home.
It took a few minutes to set up. The first step is to activate the tracker online. This was very easy with step by step instructions. Next, charge the tracker and then put it on your pet's collar.
Our tester, Lindsay thought it was a good idea and good for peace of mind. Still, the price is hefty and there is also a $7.95 per month monitoring charge. It does work and can track your pet to an exact address. This product was given one thumb up and one down. It is up to you if you think that is worth it.

That makes three titles each for the royal couple.
According to The Telegraph, dukedom is the highest rank in the British peerage.

Crime Policy & Evaluation Group
This Group has completed a number of crime policy evaluation studies, many having had a direct impact, through reports to bodies such as the Department of Transport and the Home Office. For example the evaluation of the vehicle licensing system made eleven recommendations, the majority of which were adopted by the Department for Transport and which revolutionised the way in which the vehicle licensing system operates in the UK. Due to the recommendation that various databases be linked it is now possible, for example, to renew vehicle licences over the phone and on-line.
Research from this group has also made a considerable contribution to the Home Office crime strategy paper calling for greater emphasis on designing out crime (Cutting Crime: A New Partnership 2008-11, London: Home Office). In 2007 the Home Office established a Design and Technology Alliance against Crime to specifically promote the design agenda chaired by the Home Secretary. Sebastian Conran leads the Alliance with Professor Gloria Laycock as Deputy Leader covering the crime agenda.
The competitively awarded evaluation of the Home Office Violent Crime Prevention Programme fed directly into policy development as did work on good practice in drugs strategy; the effectiveness of asset recovery procedures and the role of publicity in effective crime prevention. This work resulted in important lessons for practitioners, such as the finding that the DNA fast-tracking programme did not lead to crime reduction, only to quicker case processing.

What do you think of the
Alpinestars Gravity 3/4 Sleeve Jersey
? Share a...
Really nice and breathable.
This thing looks SICK and is very light weight. The only thing is that the Violet & Blue Marine one is a lot darker than the picture. The blue is pretty much a dark teal it doesn't look blue at all to me. I think it still looks nice and will still rock it but some people might not like the color so this is your heads up if your picky about color.
Tough, and a lady magnet
Bright and Fast
I got my first ride in with this jersey, and I'm very much impressed. Compared to my Alpinestars A-Line Jersey, this jersey is far more breathable. I also prefer the 3/4 sleeve design for quick elbow pad adjustment. It is a very vibrant jersey that definitely stands out in the crowd.
Great Air Flow - Keeps You Cool
I bought this jersey as I was looking for one that would protect more of my arms from the sun yet keep me cool. I currently ride in Las Vegas in temps averaging 100+ during the summers and so far this jersey has be great. Keeps you nice and cool and dries fast. Only complaint is its very loose and wide fitting, so if you skinny like me you look kind of dumb in it without your camel pack straps keeping it tight against you.

CUMBERLAND -- Tonight marks the beginning of the best 10-day stretch in Rhode Island wrestling this year. It starts with a battle between two unbeaten high school programs. Defending state champion Cumberland will host 2010 runnerup Warwick Veterans tonight at The Wellness Center with the regular season dual-meet title at stake.
CUMBERLAND -- Tonight marks the beginning of the best 10-day stretch in Rhode Island wrestling this year. It starts with a battle between two unbeaten high school programs. Defending state champion Cumberland will host 2010 runnerup Warwick Veterans tonight at The Wellness Center with the regular season dual-meet title at stake.
On Friday, Brown University will host No. 1-ranked Cornell in a 3 p.m. match at the Pizzitola Center. The match will be well-attended by various high school coaches from near and far along with several teams. Cumberland coach Steve Gordon, for one, is bringing his entire squad to watch the meet.
Next Monday, Warwick Veterans will finish its dual-meet season with a tri-meet against fellow state contenders Bishop Hendricken and Cranston West. That's a helluva tuneup for the state meet, which begins four days later at the Providence Career and Technical Center on Westminster Street. The state meet starts at around 4 p.m. on Friday and finishes with championship matches in all 14 weight classes beginning at 7 p.m. on Saturday night.
This is where Cumberland picked up its state team championship last year. It is why the Clippers are considered the defending champions. People forget who wins the dual-meet championship in a hurry, even though the title means everything to the winning team when it happens.
The state meet tends to dwarf all other competition as it is the event that every wrestler points to from the time official team practice sessions begin in November.
"The state team title has always been held as more prestigious by coaches," Bishop Hendricken coach Kevin Hennessey was saying on Tuesday afternoon. "Don't get me wrong. I would love to have an undefeated season and win the dual-meet championship. I really liked the dual-meet tournament we had for a few years and am unhappy that it no longer exists."
Hennessey led Hendricken to the state team championship in 2004. His Hawks are usually in the thick of things each winter. Hendricken is 11-2 this season, losing only to Cumberland and Cranston West. A student of the sport, Hennessey is a good man to talk to when it comes to forecasting what will happen tonight when Warwick Veterans visits Cumberland.
"I think it's going to come down to strategy," Hennessey predicted. "There will be some lineup changes by both coaches that will have a big impact on the meet. It's a matter of who puts his wrestlers in the best position to win.
"Bonus points could be big, too," Hennessey added, referring to pins, technical falls and major decisions that offer more team points than just a straight three points for a victory by decision. Pins are worth six team points, tech falls are good for five and a major decision (where a wrestler wins by eight or more points) are worth four team points.
Cumberland scored eight pins and one major decision in its 52-30 win over Hendricken last week. In that meet, 13 of the 14 individual matches ended in pins. Neither Gordon nor Hennessey were happy with that aspect of the match. Pins should not occur with such rapidity when two good teams meet.
"I don't know if the average fan sees all the strategy involved in wrestling," Hennessey said, seeking to explain how an overmatched wrestler can help his team just by avoiding giving those bonus points to the opposition.
"Every wrestler goes out there with the intent to win," Hennessey said, "but sometimes the job of a wrestler might be not to lose by a pin. You tell the kid to control the hands, slow down the match, work the lines (out-of-bounds). Stalling is part of the sport in certain situations. It is part of the strategy of wrestling."
Warwick Veterans is led by three-time state champion Mike Meyers, who has lost only two matches in his high school career, one in the finals of the New England championship as a freshman, and then this winter during a tournament in Lowell, Mass. Meyers is wrestling at 130 pounds this year. He is scheduled to face Cumberland sophomore Erik Travers, who is seeded second in the state behind Meyers.
Meyers is so good that Travers may have to wrestle a cautious match just to avoid getting pinned. Or, it could be that Travers has developed so rapidly this season that he might give Meyers a real battle. That's the beauty of wrestling. When two talented kids square off, nobody really knows what is going to happen, even when one of the best wrestlers in state history takes the mat.
Cumberland usually holds a decided advantage in the lightweights. The Clippers piled up an early 24-3 lead over Hendricken. Warwick Vets, however, will be favored in the first two matches tonight. Freshman John Altieri is ranked No. 1 in the state at 103 pounds. Cumberland's Cody Beaudette is the second seed.
At 112, Warwick sophomore Nate Colicci is seeded second in the state. He'll be a heavy favorite over Cumberland's Kris Nordby.
Cumberland has relied all season on the pinning skills of the Lariviere twins (Shai and Shoneil) at 119 and 125 pounds but these two dynamic Clippers will be running into Warwick wrestlers who will seek to use all of the mat and avoid getting cradled, or headlocked, or stuck in the mat by the twins.
The Clippers also normally get six points from Travers at 130 but that isn't happening tonight unless a blue moon is hanging in the sky over Cumberland.
After Meyers and Travers settle things at 130, the dual-meet will really get interesting. Cumberland will be favored at 135. The 140 bout could be a tossup, a swing match that might establish momentum for the team that wins this match. Warwick coach Mike Nappa might start juggling his lineup and Gordon, who normally wrestles his set lineup, may have a switch or two in mind.
If it comes down to the final bout, Warwick heavyweight Pearce Thomson probably has an edge over Cumberland's Josh Delannoy. The Wellness Center crowd will be making a lot of noise if this dual-meet comes down to the final match.
The winning team will celebrate its victory while the losing team will immediately begin thinking of revenge at the state meet.
Before then, the Rhode Island wrestling community will descend on the Pizzitola Center for Friday's Brown-Cornell meet.
"I think it's a great thing for wrestling to have the top team in the country come to Brown," Hennessey said. "I just wish they weren't having the meet at 3 in the afternoon. I wish they made it a real showcase event and started the meet at 7 p.m. My freshman team has to practice on Friday afternoon for their state meet so a lot of our kids will miss seeing Cornell. We've been to their camp a few times. (Cornell's) Robbie Koll is a great coach."

Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 4.71 out of 7 votes cast
Warm Coat
I have to agree, that although the description says "camel", it does have a yellow cast to the coat--for me, it is not a true camel shade-this is the only reason, I gave it 3 stars..However, this coat is light in weight, but will keep you warm.
Paris, Ill
Cute Coat
I bought this coat in Camel, the fit is perfect, comfortably over blazers. The color is a very pretty camel, leaning toward creamy yellow. A keeper !
Wendy the walker
Oxford CT
This coat is so comfortable. I can wear a blazer or a bulky sweater and not feel confined. I purchased the Laguna turquoise and get compliments on it all the time. This is my second winter and it still looks like new. It's my "go to" coat for beating the winter blahs! (I'm thinking of purchasing it in another colour.)
Aroostook, NB
So many compliments!
I bought this coat in the burnt orange. I get so many compliments. the pockets are large and roomy - easy to drop a cell phone or gloves into. I don't have to fumble around and find the pocket opening. Sleeves are roomy enough for a hoodie or sweater underneath. The wrists aren't tight, so it's easy to tuck gloves up under my cuffs for a wind-break. The coat doesn't weight alot so I can wear it all day shopping. I love it!
Fayette, MO
Great Coat
I bought this coat in Camel. I get compliments on it all the time. The only thing that I wish that the coat had was a zipper, but other than that, I love it!
Waldorf, MD
This is a very beautiful coat! I bought it in navy. Every coat that I buy from Chadwicks is a winner!
Youngsville, LA
I love this coat, it looks just as good in person as it does in the catalog or on line. I purchased it in the laguna turquoise.

Associated Press national writer Paul Newberry referred to it as roller derby on sneakers in a recent column decrying the ugliness of college basketball this season.
ESPN analyst Jay Bilas, one of the games prominent voices, put it even more succinctly, Our game is brutal to watch right now.
Even some of the top coaches in the country have spoken out about how the game has deteriorated into basically a wrestling match. Our game is tremendously more physical than it used to be, North Carolina State coach Mark Gottfried was quoted as saying. All you have to do is grab a tape from the 90s or the mid-80s, and you can watch it and youll say, Wow, theres very little contact.
Ive been covering Syracuse and major college basketball for more than 30 years and, regrettably, I agree with those folks. Todays game, at times, is unwatchable. There is so much banging and bumping, not to mention grabbing, hand-checking and downright mugging going on that its almost impossible to ever find an offensive rhythm, even for the good teams.
And because so much more physical contact is allowed these day, the thing that attracts fans the most, scoring, hasnt been this low since at least 1982. You have to go all the way back to the 50s, way before there was a shot clock, to find another season that tops this one for offensive ineptitude.
Field-goal percentages are at 1960 levels. And 3-point shooting has not been this bad since the arc was installed in 1987.
Bill Raftery, who coached at Seton Hall in the halcyon days of the Big East Conference and has been a TV analyst for the last 30 years, bemoans how far his beloved game has slipped.
Its unfortunate that weve taken a lot of the skill out of the game because of the physical play that is now allowed, Raferty said at last Saturdays Georgetown-Syracuse game at the Carrier Dome. We had some of the most physical teams ever in the league back in the day with Georgetown and Syracuse, and they still found a way to score a lot of points without players killing each other.
So why have we come to this? Its a combination of things, all of which have merged into the perfect storm.
Some skeptics blame the players, saying they arent as good as they used to be. That couldnt be further from the truth. Todays players are bigger, quicker, more athletic and in better shape than their counterparts of the past two decades.
The major problem is they arent being allowed to play their game. Said Newberry: This is all about coaches who paralyze their players with overcoaching, about referees who are reluctant to call all the fouls they surely see, about a scattered system of governance that makes it difficult to address the problems with a broad stroke.
The referees feel like they cant call it all, and they dont call it all, Bilas said. Thats why we have wrestling matches instead of nice, flowing basketball games. It doesnt take long, if youre really watching, to see whats happening For example, Northern Illinois set an NCAA record by scoring only four points in the first half of a 42-25 loss to Eastern Michigan.
Last month, Kansas scored fewer than 70 points in six straight games for the first time since the mid-70s. And they won all six.
And during a four-game span early in the season, Georgetown, which is currently leading the Big East, was held to 37, 46, 48 and 45 points in four out of six games.
And even such perennially high-voltage teams as Syracuse are not immune to low-scoring contests. The Orange scored a Dome-record low of 46 points against Georgetown last Saturday. They have also been held to 55 points or fewer in two other losses, and have actually won four games in which they have scored less than 56 points.
In Big East games alone this season, SU is averaging just more than 64 points, seven less than a year ago.
Its just so tough to score inside anymore because of all the contact, SU assistant coach Mike Hopkins said. We try to teach our guys to work through the contact. Buts its tough when they know they are going to get hammered and a foul is probably not going to be called.
Physical play is one thing. But you couldnt tell by listening for the sound of the whistle. Amazingly, fouls have dipped to a per-team average of 17.6, nearly a foul less than last season and on pace to be the fewest in NCAA history, going back to 1948.
When Bilas played for Duke from 1982-86, you knew that when you got hit shooting, it was an automatic foul. Today, youve just about got to knock a guy into the stands to get a foul. The hand-checking, arm-bars, the dead-on pushing, the body checks on shooters. Guys are getting knocked down and its not called.
Syracuses Brandon Triche, one of the strongest guards in the country, said the officiating is even much different than when he came to college four years ago.
You knew just how much contact you could get away with, Triche said. Today, its every man for himself.
Thats the crux of the issue for me. A defender can cross-body a driver and not draw a foul. But a defender at mid-court reaches and touches a dribblers arm without knocking the ball away and the whistle blows.
Several years ago, as they do each season, the NCAA vowed to strictly enforce a certain rule on the books. This time it was hand-checking. Well, that lasted until about January. Now, defenders continually not only hand-check all they want, they ride dribblers like a jockey on a horse.
Is this the officials fault? They certainly must be held accountable because coaches and players have no recourse if a bad call affects the outcome of a game. Some officials serve multiple conferences, and the way they work one is not necessarily the way they work another.
But with 32 Division I conferences overseeing officials, there are, as Newberry suggested, too many masters and not a clear way to implement the sort of widespread changes that are needed in the way the game is called.
One way to make officiating equal everywhere is quite simple: Follow the rule book. Officials are criticized for calling a certain play one way, and ignoring the same call seconds later. The block-charge call will always be the toughest to judge. But dont ignore three seconds, travelling, illegal screens, or other rules.
And in my mind, the 3-point shot, while adding excitement, has actually helped destroy offensive rhythm as we knew it. Instead of making the extra pass and getting a better shot, most teams settle for jacking up a three. And if you cant do that, simply take it to the basket and get mugged. The mid-range game has all but disappeared, adding further to the lack of consistent scoring.
Georgetown coach John Thompson III insists the reason for the drop in scoring is defenses across the board are better now. I dont think that means the game is less exciting.

Aloha! My husband bought a bar of your pineapple soap at the airport on our way home from Australia - (he had already purchased 16 bars of your tropical soap earlier). When I mentioned how many he already had he stated that "this one smells the best - it's like real pineapple!" Last week he opened your Clearly Hawaiian Pineapple soap and I haven't heard the end of since - and yes, I most heartily agree. You have the best soaps!!!

LOWVILLE The state Department of Environmental Conservation is seeking public input on a pair of unit management plans for state forest parcels in and around Lewis County.
An open house session on the Westward Waters Unit, composed of 17 state forests in the county, will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, while one on the Independence River Wild Forest area is slated for 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday.
Both meetings will be held at the Lowville fire hall off Parkway Drive.
The purpose of the meetings is to provide information about the unit, discuss its history, ecology and current uses, such as forest product sales and recreational use, and to exchange ideas about long-term management, said a release from the state agency. DEC invites municipalities and community members to play an active role in establishing a long-range vision and specific goals for management of these lands, including enhanced access to the lands, which would promote recreational activities such as hiking, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, and more, that benefit the regional economy.
The Westward Waters unit includes Balsam Creek, Beartown, Bonapartes Cave, Frank E. Jadwin Memorial, High Towers, Hogsback, Independence River, Indian Pipe, Lowville Demonstration Area, Onjebonge, Otter Creek, Sand Bay and Sand Flats state forests. They total 38,637 acres and are in the towns of Lyonsdale, Greig, Watson, New Bremen, Croghan, Lowville and Diana.
The Independence River Wild Forest encompasses 79,519 acres in the towns of Lyonsdale, Greig and Watson and the Herkimer County town of Webb.
The Independence River unit management plan will be a revision of a plan completed in October 1986, incorporating several amendments added over the years, the DEC release said.
Portions of the two units border each other and share common facilities, including the Otter Creek horse trail system and several snowmobile trails.
The plans will be developed by public input, along with information collected during forest inventories and other sources of data and information, and will be used to guide management actions for each unit, the release said.
Anyone seeking more information can call the DEC field office in Dadville at 376-3521.
Written comments can be submitted by mail to NYSDEC, 7327 Route 812, Lowville, N.Y. 13367, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

What To Do If You're Arrested
It can be difficult to think clearly after an arrest. Many arrestees are scared about the social stigmas, personal consequences, financial consequences, legal consequences and the affect of the arrest on their families. However, it is important to remain focused and to take the steps necessary to ensure that all of your rights are protected. At the time of your arrest, a police officer should provide you with your Miranda Rights. These are not just a formality but rather an important part of your arrest.
Communication with the Police
The Miranda Rights include your right to remain silent. This is an important right grounded in the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution which protects a person from being a witness against himself in a criminal trial. While you should identify yourself upon police request by stating your name and address or providing your driver's license or state ID, you are not required to answer further questions asked to you by a police officer. However, it is in your best interest to be polite. For example, you can calmly state that you will not be answering questions until you have consulted with your attorney.
While you are not required to answer the questions posed by police officials, you are required to remain in their custody until your attorney has secured your release or a judge has established bail which you have met. You should never try to escape from police custody. This will only compound the charges against you and increase your chances of remaining in jail.
Remember the Circumstances of Your Arrest
Sometimes things go wrong during an arrest. An officer may violate your rights or use excessive force, for example. These details may be important in your personal defense and are always important for the officer's superiors to be aware of. For these reasons, it is important that you pay careful attention to everything that happens during your arrest and write it down as soon as possible after your arrest. Witnesses to your arrest can also be important in this regard and may be able to testify about any police misconduct or error that occurred during your arrest. Many police cruisers are equipped with video surveillance that may be obtained during the discovery phase of a trial and can be an important piece of evidence if you are alleging police misconduct or that you did not commit the crime in question.
Right to be Represented by Counsel
Your lawyer can help you at the time of your arrest and throughout your criminal proceedings. After you provide the police with your name, address and telephone number you are not obligated to speak with them without your attorney present. Remember, if you cannot afford a lawyer then the court will appoint a defense lawyer to your case.
Your criminal defense lawyer can start helping you as soon as you call him after your arrest. Your lawyer will help you through police interrogation, bail hearings, plea bargaining and all aspects of your trial.
The information on this page is meant to provide a general overview of the law. The laws in your state and/or city may deviate significantly from those described here. If you have specific questions related to your situation you should speak with a local attorney.

On an unseasonably warm Tuesday morning last March here in Chicago, British artist Martin Creed set himself up for the week at Soma Studios, a renowned (in certain circles) recording studio on Division Street (next door to the Rainbo Club in Ukrainian Village, as it happens) run by self-described "owner/engineer" John McEntire, to spend the week recording an EP. The resulting record, Chicago, was recently released by The Vinyl Factory, a British music label and actual vinyl factory: they are known for their high-quality vinyl produced on a Type 1400 press, which they inherited from the old EMI Records pressing plant in the west London suburb of Hayes (along with key staff from the plant to keep the machine running). Joining Creed from the UK was producer Andy Knowles, who, together with fellow Franz Ferdinand bandmate Nick McCarthy, forms the music production duo The Nice Nice Boys.
Soma has a certain legendary status not only due to the musicians who have chosen to record there (like David Grubbs, Jim O'Rourke, Radian, Red Krayola, Stereolab, Will Oldham, and famed local heroes Wilco) but also because McEntire himself is the drummer and multi-instrumentalist behind the Chicago bands Tortoise and The Sea and Cake, Gastr del Sol, and countless projects and collaborations of his own, not to mention the recording engineer and producer for albums by a number of the Soma guests listed above. Even though I only arrived in Chicago just over two years ago from London (via the Netherlands), I've followed McEntire's work since the release of Tortoise's seminal 1996 album Millions Now Living Will Never Die, an influential record for me at the time, on heavy rotation during my final year of graphic design undergraduate study in south London. Soma was therefore a slightly mythical place on my imaginary, pre-US-resident Chicago map, pinned on Google satellite view alongside such sites as the Newberry Library, Mies van der Rohe's Crown Hall at IIT, Myopic Books, and Sol Lewitt's Bands in Four Directions (right here in the MCA's back yard and visible from space).
Suffice it to say, for an EP titled Chicago, Creed was in as Chicago a joint as you could get. Add to that the record's engineer Bill Skibbe (if not an actual Chicago legend, then at least a Midwestern one, with his equally famed [in certain circles] Benton Harbor, MI, recording studio The Key Club Recording Company, host to bands such as the Fiery Furnaces, Franz Ferdinand, and the Kills) and Creed's backing singers for the week Dee Alexander and Yvonne Gage, who have worked with, among others, contentious Chicago cultural phenomenon R. Kelly, and you have, collectively, a rich psychogeographic map of Chicago and its hinterlands with streets converging at the corner of Division and Damen.
Creed was there, plugging in his guitar, testing the acoustics, in his capacity as MCA Chicago's artist in residence for 2012. The result of his week at Soma was a recording—or, perhaps, a "work." But what kind of work? An artwork? A piece of music? An art piece? If the record was the work, what were the four songs on that record? Pieces? If the songs are each considered discrete works, does that make the record an installation in which the works are housed? I suspect Creed himself doesn't know. Or would say he doesn't know. All of his works are titled as just that: Work. With a systematic number attached. The record we're talking about is actually Work No. 1370. So it is indeed a work, with a capital W. But is it art or music? "I don't know what art is," Creed said to arts writer Charlotte Higgins last June, in a Guardian story on his Olympic project Work No. 1197: All the bells in a country rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes. "Martin Creed's bad music is good art," said critic Alfred Hickling, in a prior Guardian article, describing Creed's Work No. 955, an orchestral composition by the artist performed by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in 2008. "Music is art," says The Vinyl Factory's mission statement on the "About Us" section of their website.
Funnily enough, my own discovery of Creed was through his music, specifically the album Nothing by his former band Owada (you can still track down CD copies on Amazon for around 10 bucks), released one year after Millions Now Living Will Never Die in 1997, at which point I'd graduated with my bachelor's degree and started my master's at the Royal College of Art. Nothing was just as influential to me as that Tortoise album while I was starting to decide whether I should work as an artist or a designer. The record included an instant favorite, "Circle," with its concise pop-history documentation of the 1960s conceptual art scene:
Stephen Willats thought that /
Art & Language were ripping him off /
Art & Language thought that /
Joseph Kosuth was ripping them off /
Joseph Kosuth thought that /
Lawrence Weiner was ripping him off / (etc.)
This was music and Owada was a band. A band that happened to have an artist as its singer/songwriter. Of course I later came across his neon typographic works (also appealing to a graphic design student) like EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT, admired his deadpan, minimal 2001 Turner Prize–winning The lights going on and off , and my London studio even ended up being commissioned by Tate Britain to work on the design for Creed's Work No. 850 project in 2008. This was definitely art and Creed was definitely an artist—an artist who was able to tell the Tate he wanted a continuous loop of runners sprinting down the Duveen Galleries every 30 seconds for four months, to which the Tate replied "OK" without batting an eyelid.
Perhaps we should forget the art or music question and just listen to Chicago (the work, Work No. 1370, not the city—or the band). Although here's where I should mention a slight snag: We are unfortunately not allowed to stream it for you (and actually I have to admit that I haven't even heard it myself yet). That's because it's only available for $288 in the very special form of a hand-painted record sleeve containing four all-analog Soma-recorded songs on 180 gram heavyweight vinyl in a limited edition of 200 from the MCA Store or The Vinyl Factory.
