That is why Madison County Commissioner Dale Strong is joining forces with area churches to provide food to restock pantries of people who are moving back into their remodeled or rebuilt homes not only throughout Madison County but other hard-hit areas as well.
A community event will be held Sept. 24 beginning at 10:30 a.m. at the Monrovia Community Center, 254 Allen Drake Drive, to distribute nonperishable food items to those in need.
"Ninety days after the worst disaster ever experienced in the state, we are trying to restore food to families who lost everything," said Strong, who is opening the Monrovia Community Center for the day-long event. "We will have an 18-wheeler load of nonperishable food in the hopes it will assist those in need. We want to meet the needs of as many families as we can."
Strong said if any food is left over, it will be taken to the hard-hit areas of Phil Campbell and Hackleburg for distribution to those in need.
"We just wanted to open a centrally located area where so many families have been affected (by the storms)," said Strong. "We want to get those pantries full because there is such a need out there. There are many expenses people don't even think about when you lose your home and we want to help."
The event is being coordinated by Brenda Bryson of Victory World Outreach Ministry at 4901 North Memorial Parkway.
"We want to get local churches involved as volunteers and to donate food and other items people still need," she said.
The food is free to anyone in need and will be given out "until the last person leaves," said Bryson.
Any individual, church, or other organizations interested in helping with this program should call Bryson at 256-374-2259.

HACKETTSTOWN – Centenary College will host the fundraiser "A Toast to Turf: An Educational Introduction to Craft Beers" starting at 6 p.m. Friday, May 11, 2012, in the John M. Reeves Student Recreation Center.
The title sponsor of this event is Long Valley Coach. Two of the featured beers are Prima Pils from the Dogfish Head Brewery and Brown Ale from the Victory Brewing Company.
The craft beer tasting will be presented by Dr. Rett Oren, nationally recognized amateur wine maker and beverage consultant. Tickets cost is $60 per person / $100 per couple for an evening of food, craft beers, a live auction and raffle, a beer quiz and prizes. Proceeds benefit the Athletic Turf Field Project.
The goal of the Athletic Turf Field Project is to install a synthetic turf field for use by the Men's and Women's Soccer and Lacrosse teams. The new field will strengthen Centenary's commitment to Cyclone sports as they make their mark in the national collegiate arena, and serve the local community by allowing more space for recreational activities.
"Centenary Cyclones have been making huge strides in Division III college sports in the past several years," says Billie Blackwell, Director of Athletics at Centenary College.
"This turf field will give our teams a competitive edge and we hope individuals from the community support us in this effort."
Some noteworthy athletic accomplishments for this year include Women's Cross Country named United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association's All-Academic Team, Arielle Hamilton was named New Jersey Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women's Woman of the Year, Centenary's Wrestling team won the second consecutive Metropolitan Conference Championship Title and Chris Burdge and J.D. Zitone were named National Collegiate Athletic Association's All-Americans.
For more information and to purchase tickets, please contact Kate Booth at 908-852-1400, ext. 2468, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
R.S.V.P. by May 1, 2012. Participants must be 21 and over.
Founded in 1867 by the Newark Conference of the United Methodist Church, Centenary College's academic program integrates a solid liberal arts foundation with a strong career orientation. This mix is designed to provide an educational experience that prepares students to succeed in the increasingly global and interdependent world.

Adds a tab to the auction house where you can call up each of your professions and find out if mats are available in the AH to make the next item for your profession. If you need something from a vendor, it will tell you the quantity you need. First will come the easiest professions—the secondaries: first aid and cooking. Then the primaries. Then somewhere along the line I want to optionally keep track of what's in guild storage. One of the things I hope will really set this addon apart will be a sense for synergistic work, "If you get your mining up to 125 you'll be able to farm the iron that you need for your next bs recipe." No profession left behind :)
I'm assuming, of course, that this description will be editable over time.

RE: Board for my girlfriend
Hi Andrews, the Solo looks OK.
Be sure to ge the 400 cm X6 mast (or another 400 cm IMCS 19 Std. Dia Mast that's even lighter than the 55% Carbon X6).
As far as a arger sail, you have to be careful not to get too much gap between your sails or you will have an "unbridgeable hole" where the larger size is too big and your next smaller size isn't large enough.
6.5-8.0m2 is stretching things almost too much. If you can afford it, a 5.0/6.5/7.5/8.5-9.0 quiver would be great, but you also need to factor in what the min. windspeed to plane is for your larger board.
Your 190 ltr GO can easily handle a 9.5-10.5 to get the max. early planing (with a larger fin). but the smaller Carve can only handle up to around 8.5 m2.
Hope this helps,

Editor's note: Ken Stevens is multimedia specialist for MLive Muskegon Chronicle. He has worked for the local news organization for 27 years.
MUSKEGON, MI -- Despite a general feeling among those in the courtroom that Eric Knysz would be found guilty, the anxious anticipation of a verdict being read always seems to exist.
A jury took about 90 minutes Tuesday to convict Knysz, 20, of killing Michigan State Police Trooper Paul K. Butterfield II on Sept. 9, 2013 during a routine traffic stop in rural Mason County. Once the jury's verdict was read, emotions overflowed.
While keeping a respectful distance from the family, I was able to capture the moment when Paul T. Butterfield, the father of trooper Butterfield, embraced his son's fiancee Jennifer Sielski. I feel that photo best told the story.
That photo and several others are part of this edition of the MLive Muskegon Chronicle's weekly feature called Ken Stevens Picks Pics, highlighting some of the top photographs shot recently by staff. The feature also provides some photography tips.
For the highlighted photo, I used a Canon 70D camera with a 70-200mm f/2.8 shot at 1/320 of a second at f/4 at ISO 2500.
A much more festive assignment took place at Muskegon High School Thursday night as the Big Red boys basketball team made history as the school's first team to ever finish the regular season with a perfect 20-0 regular season record. They defeated River Rouge 52-38. The last team to go undefeated in the regular season was in 1937 when teams played fewer games.
MLive multimedia intern Natalie Kolb also covered two days of the six-day trial last week, and she also was able to photograph much less serious events, too, including former Pro Bowl Detroit Lion wide receiver Herman Moore's visit to Muskegon High School.
Kolb also experienced some postseason girls basketball action at Orchard View High School Wednesday night where the host Cardinals celebrated advancing to the district final with a 49-38 win against Coopesville.
"One of my favorite images from this week is of the Orchard View girls basketball players celebrating after their win against Coopersville. Precious Anderson jumped in the center of the players and did a brief dance while everyone around her danced and cheered. I held my camera up above my head and shot down to capture the moment. I love how everyone in the picture is enjoying the moment," Kolb said.
MLive multimedia intern Madelyn Hastings had the opportunity to experience one of the fastest growing fundraising events in Muskegon last weekend.
"I was given a few very exciting events to cover this week at the Muskegon Chronicle. My favorite event to cover was the Dancing with the Local Stars at the Holiday Inn last weekend. I was highly impressed with the skill level of the dancers that performed. I was even more impressed that most of them had to learn and rehearse their performances aside of working at their jobs and raising families. Some of their dance moves were very intricate which made it exciting to photograph," Hastings said.
Another festive event Hastings covered took her outside to brave the elements to photograph subjects freezing themselves in the Grand River in Grand Haven.
"I was also asked to cover the Shiver in the River event in Grand Haven. Yet another event in the area that people go to great lengths for charity. I am truly amazed by how much will power this group of people had to make them want to jump in the freezing cold water. I really enjoyed photographing this event especially because of the bizarre costumes some of the participants chose to wear," Hastings said.

Don't look now, but the Levin brothers are making history in Washington.
As announced yesterday, Rep. Sander Levin of Royal Oak will serve as acting chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. His younger brother, Sen. Carl Levin of Detroit, serves as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Noting that the Democratic siblings will chair two of the most important panels in U.S. government, The Christian Science Monitor yesterday called the Levins "one of the most powerful brother acts in Washington since the Kennedys."
Jake Sherman of Politico.com reports it's only the fifth time in history brothers have served as committee chairs at the same time and only the second time brothers have chaired committees in separate houses of congress. The latter hasn't happened since the Vance brothers of North Carolina managed the feat in 1879-1882.
Compared to his hawkish brother, Sander Levin, 78, is viewed as a consensus builder. Democrats hope he'll move the party past the ethics scandal hanging over Rep. Charles Rangel of New York, who stepped down as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee earlier this week.
Carl Levin told the Associated Press he and his brother talk regularly on Capitol Hill about how to help Michigan.
"We're obviously very close. We work together and think together and
plan together a lot," the senator said Thursday. "There's rarely a day
that goes by where we're not talking to each other and asking each
other's opinions and trying to be helpful to Michigan."

Since A J returned back to Albuquerque he is so serious.
Lorenzo Bundy I like the guy it seems like he has a close bond with all of the players
Jerry Sands almost threw down with the Zephyers. Dee Gordon had to hold him back

The Huntsville Times File photo
HUNTSVILLE, AL. - Flooding has resulted in the closure of Little Cove Road between Gurley and Big Cove.
Shortly after 9 p.m. Wednesday, Huntsville police called for public works crews to bring barricades to block off Little Cove Road near Old Cove Place and McMullen Cove.
The National Weather Service says a flood warning remains in affect for the Flint River until late Thursday afternoon.
Motorists are being warned not to attempt to drive around barricades or drive through water that is flowing over a roadway.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- A Hoover man was killed early this morning in a single-vehicle crash in Birmingham, according to the coroner's office.
Bryenton Emmanuel Rembert, 19, Hoover, died at the scene of the wreck in the 700 block of 3rd Avenue West about 3 a.m. today, said Deputy Jefferson County Coroner Phillip Russell.
Rembert was the driver and lone occupant of a Ford Explorer and was traveling southbound on 3rd Avenue West, Russell said. "He appeared to have run onto the right shoulder of the road, crossed over the northbound lanes, and struck the northwest corner of a building," he said.
Birmingham police are investigating the crash.

TORRANCE, Calif. — Kubota Tractor Corp. recently introduced
its new BX70 Series sub-compact tractors. The four ready-to-work models are the
BX1870, BX2370, BX2670 and the BX25D.
With improved comfort, convenience and operation, Kubota's
popular BX series has the power and versatility for digging, hauling, mowing,
snow-blowing, tilling and plowing through yard projects, big or small.
"The focus of improvements to our latest version of these
best-selling BX Series tractors was to enhance the operator experience,
specifically in comfort, convenience and versatility," said Dan Muramoto, BX and
RTV product manager for Kubota.
"Whether you are simply mowing the lawn or giving your
property a complete landscaping makeover, these rugged and versatile machines
will get the job done, more comfortably and more easily than ever
The new BX70 Series features an array of ergonomic
enhancements and convenience adjustments. Cruise control and a new high-back
reclining seat with armrests are standard on all models except the BX1870.
A new steering wheel incorporates a smaller hub and is
positioned closer to the operator for better comfort and visibility. The new,
easy-to-read dash instrumentation features a large analog tachometer, digital
gauges and warning lights.
The brake pedal has been repositioned to the left of the
spacious, fully-flat floor for easier access and simultaneous HST/brake
operation. New optional, adjustable, high-output, 700 lumen 4-LED lights are
available with either fender or ROPS mounts for better visibility when mowing or
working after dark.
All front loaders for the new BX70-Series tractors have been
upgraded to accept an optional "Quick Attach" system. This two-pin system allows
quick and easy switching from the standard bucket to two new front attachments:
60-inch straight blade or pallet forks.
The popular tractor-mounted hydraulic quick attach remains
available, with more attachments such as the best-selling 50-inch front snow
blower, rotary broom and blades.
The BX70 Series offers a segment-best selection of five
different mid-mount mowers — specifically, 48- and 54-inch standard and fine cut
mowers and a 60-inch standard mower.
A key differentiator with the 60-inch standard mower is an
integrated center-pivot anti-scalp system, which helps minimize or eliminate
scalping or marking of customer lawns from deck protrusion.
With 6 inches of clearance between the ground and the mower
— more space than many competitors in its class — the BX-Series easily travels
over uneven ground and raised obstacles.
The BX25D's new BT602 backhoe station is designed with
integrated steps and an easy entry and exit design; wide, SAE-rated foldable
ROPS for enhanced visibility; a deluxe, high-back reclining reversible seat; and
easy-to-reach levers and controls for extended comfort while operating.
In addition, Kubota engineers have added shock-absorbing
cushioning valves to the hydraulic circuit to cushion the operator when the
backhoe hits its boom or swing maximums. A new optional mechanical thumb also is
available to make cleanup jobs a snap.
The new BX-Series tractors are powered by three-cylinder
Kubota diesel engines, specifically engineered to work seamlessly with
Kubota-designed hydrostatic transmissions.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama – The Mental Health Center of Madison County is changing its name.
Executive Director Brian W. Davis announced at Thursday's Huntsville City Council meeting that the agency will rebrand itself as WellStone Behavioral Health, effective Oct. 1.
Davis said the agency's board of directors believes the term "mental health" carries a stigma that prevents some people from seeking treatment at the South Memorial Parkway facility.
The name change "is an opportunity to diversify who we're serving," he said. "We believe we can reach more people this way – hopefully a broader cut of the community."
Davis said WellStone is a "loose reference" to Huntsville's Monte Sano mountain, where the cooler climate was once believed to have restorative powers. In the late 1800s, people from across the Southeast spent their summers on Monte Sano in pursuit of "wellness and health and renewal," he said.
City Councilman Will Culver, a former Huntsville police officer, said he supports anything the agency can do to broaden its outreach. "But not for your organization," he said, "the Police Department's job would be a nightmare, and this city probably would not be as safe as it is."
The nonprofit Mental Health Center receives a large annual operating subsidy from Huntsville -- currently $813,380. The Huntsville City Council and Madison County Commission each appoint six members to its board of directors.
The Mental Health Center has served an average of 8,378 clients per year since 2010.

Reviews for WINYAH RIVERS FOUNDATION INC
I have to agree with the previous review. I don't see where my money is making a difference with river protection. From most indications the water quality in the river is currently good, and I see other organizations doing more or at least are better at keeping me informed of conservation efforts. I'm going to watch closely over the next few months to see if activities are those I want to support.

Dear Palmettoproud, First, let me assure you that your donation is very impactful. It represents unrestricted funding for one full time and one part time employee of the organization to develop and implement our community engagement programs, including our volunteer water quality monitoring program on the Waccamaw River, our youth environmental stewardship programs anywhere within the greater Winyah Bay watershed, our paddle trail efforts using recreation to promote conservation within the Waccamaw watershed and beyond, and our advocacy efforts to convince Santee Cooper to remove its coal ash from the wetlands of the Waccamaw River and clean up the existing pollution of our groundwater and our surface water. That being said, I agree that I don't do a good job at keeping folks informed directly since I haven't written and mailed a newsletter for some time now. Last October I sent out an e-mail newsletter but I don't have e-mails for all of our members. I just wrote a short newsletter and have sent it by mail to all of our members. I hope you have received that. In the meantime, I have been more active through social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) but even I don't think that's enough. I hope you will continue to support our activities as your donation is making a difference with river protection and is truly appreciated! Thank you for your past support and I hope you will continue to support us. Regards, Your Waccamaw Riverkeeper Fishable, swimmable, drinkable water for our families and our future.

I have been donating for a few years, however I haven't heard much from the organization as to what the current activities are. I just can't get enough information on what the organization is doing to satisfy my curiosity about how my donation is helping the river. I haven't seen a newsletter in about a year, which is in stark contract to other organizations I donate to. As a Santee Cooper retiree, I'd like more information on the environmental concerns that have led to the lawsuit. There is nothing on the website and it's been months since the lawsuit began. The only communication I ever see is concerning events where there will be a table or trash picks along the river. I'd much rather hear about specifics concerning the lawsuit to validate the organization's involvement and continue my donation. The Riverkeeper is perfectly nice, but I'm not getting enough information from the organization to justify endless donations.

Dear Tigerfan, The sentiments I express in the reply to Palmettoproud are also sentiments I want to express to you...your donation is very much appreciated and provides some of the general operating support the Riverkeeper needs to maintain our education and advocacy programs. I'm going to try to do better with communications both through e-mail, written newsletters and better updates on our website. Regarding the lawsuit, our position is that the toxic coal ash needs to be removed from the wetlands of the Waccamaw. Why? Because there is existing pollution of our groundwater and our surface water due to the coal ash lagoons. DHEC knows that, Santee Cooper knows that and, as a result of our Freedom of Information Act request, we know that. We are the lead party to that lawsuit in our role as Riverkeeper but unlike other conservation organizations with staff we only have 1 1/2 staff members handling all of our issues and our communications have suffered. I do apologize for that and want to assure you that I will try to do a better job communicating our information through written newsletters, e-mail, social media and our website. In addition, I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly if you desire. Again, thank you for your past support of our organization. It is very much appreciated! Regards, Your Waccamaw Riverkeeper Fishable, swimmable, drinkable water for our families and our future.

When sparks fly here's what to look for. The 1-2 of a great first date.
The excitement and anticipation of a first date can be nerve racking. It's hard to know what to look for on a first date however the foundation of any great relationship has only two key ingredients. Do you want to know what they are? Me too... Actually I know what they are and I'm about to tell you but first consider this.
When you meet someone anywhere in any walk of life you are already on a first date. Actually when done right the first date is more of a continuation then a beginning. With that in mind when you meet someone by chance take your time. If you take your time you will begin to notice if you have chemistry and even more importantly you will see if you have the first key ingredient. Read A life Of Love.
The first key ingredient is. A relationship is a conversation that doesn't end... People who have natural chemistry can talk for hours. You will notice 3 things. One you have each others full attention. Two your body movements will begin to sync up. Three it feels good, which naturally leads to a first date and also to the second of the only two key ingredients of what to look for on a first date.
The second key ingredient is. A relationship is a series of kept agreements... Watch Chemistry To Commitment. The reason the first date is important is the agreements it takes leading up to it. Does he call when he says he's going to call? Does he have a plan? Does he show up on time? These are the things to look for on a first date. Men make 7 agreements when they commit. Watch Chemistry To Commitment.
The reason my wife and I are still together after 5 years is quite simple. We make and keep our agreements... It started before the first date from the moment we met. After that it's simple because the best thing to look for on a first date is a conversation that doesn't end. Read A Life Of Love.
Much love,

The Kenner City Council on Thursday voted unanimously to double the amount of money it will dedicate to demolitions in Fiscal 2015, which begins next month. To pay for the increase, the council defunded a research and budget analyst position with a $54,000 annual salary.
It was the council's only major change to Mayor Mike Yenni's budget proposal, which contained $50,000 for demolitions. That would have paid for approximately five residential demolitions, and council members made clear they found this woefully short during budget hearings last month.
It's not clear how many blighted and vacant properties are in Kenner. The city's code enforcement department provided a list of 72 residential properties in response to a public records request. However, a letter from City Attorney Louis Gruntz accompanying the list said it is incomplete, and that "a complete list is not available at this time."
Councilwoman-at-Large Michele Branigan, who sponsored the amendment, said she had received blessings from four incoming council members who will take their seats next month. The new council may eventually fund the research analyst position, but "there are more immediate needs," Branigan said.
District 4 Councilwoman Maria DeFrancesch, who will take an at-large position on the new council, said she didn't think the position was necessary in the first place.
"The public does not want government to keep growing. They feel it's too bloated too many times already," DeFrancesch said.
The budget approved Thursday is the first of five in Yenni's tenure that does not rely on capital funds while also providing three percent raises for employees. The budget relies on more than $700,000 in reserves, the fund balance remains more than 10 percent of revenues. The council also passed Yenni's $3.6 million capital budget proposal.

We present multicolor, optical--infrared photometry from the Hubble Deep Field North (HDF-N), combining HST NICMOS and WFPC2 imaging data with ground--based K--band photometry from KPNO. New wide--field NICMOS maps of the HDF (Dickinson et al. 1999) provide deep, high resolution imaging and photometry at 1.1\mum and 1.6\mum which complement the four band (0.3--0.8\mum) optical data from WFPC2. We extend this to 2.2\mum using ground--based K--band imaging, using an optimized template fitting technique similar to that of Fernández--Soto et al.\ (1998). The resulting 7--band photometry greatly extends the wavelength baseline for studying faint HDF galaxies. We present color--magnitude and color--color diagrams for the whole HDF galaxy sample, along with spectral energy distributions for selected objects, and discuss the implications of these data for galaxy properties at high redshift.

Allendale, Mich. - Despite rainy and windy conditions, the Grand Valley State offense stayed warm on Saturday (Apr. 12) and helped the Lakers record their fourth consecutive GLIAC doubleheader sweep. GVSU used a 15-hit barrage to top Malone in the opener, 13-3, and the Lakers came up clutch late in game two to earn a 5-0 shutout over the Pioneers.
With the wins, Grand Valley State has rattled off nine straight victories and improve to 20-5 on the season. The Lakers are 9-1 in conference play. During the nine-game win streak, GVSU has outscored its opponents by an incredible 62-8 margin, which includes five pitching shutouts in the nine outings.

From the Beavers:
PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico – The Oregon State women's basketball team got 14 points and five rebounds from Patricia Bright and a career-high 10 points and four rebounds from Ruth Hamblin, two of a number of fantastic performances that helped OSU stave off a feisty Winthrop squad, 68-64, in the semifinals of the Hardwood Tournament for Hope on Wednesday night.
The win, which moves Oregon State's record to 3-1 on the year, also earns the Beavers a berth in the championship game of the inaugural tournament being held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. OSU will face the winner of No. 7/6 Louisville (4-0) and Gonzaga (5-0) tomorrow evening at 6:30 p.m. PT. The finale can be heard on KEJO 1240AM as well as osubeavers.com.
The Beavers got off to a much better start than last night, taking their first halftime lead of the season into the locker room, 31-28. Much of that edge was a result of the inspired play of freshman Jamie Weisner, who put the team on her back for a portion of the period.
After scoring the game's first bucket, Oregon State found itself in a five-point hole, 15-10, when Weisner got on a roll. She hit a jumper in the lane and banked home a three-pointer around fellow freshman Ruth Hamblin's layup. Then, the Clarkston, Wash. native drove to the baseline and was trapped. Unable to find an open target to pass to, Weisner executed a nifty up-and-under move and fired home another two.
"Jamie is a big-time scorer, she's the ultimate competitor and she's aggressive," Head Coach Scott Rueck said of the freshman. "We needed somebody that wants the ball and wants to go score when it's her turn and when Jamie had the opportunity she did that for us."
A Khadidja Toure three-pointer capped off the run and gave OSU a lead it would hold until intermission, then at 22-19 with 5:19 remaining. That series was part of a stretch that saw Weisner, Hamblin and Toure score 12-straight points for OSU. Weisner finished with nine points on 4-for-8 shooting, four rebounds and two assists. Along with Hamblin, their sparks off the bench were a couple of the many for the Beavers on the evening.
Nine Oregon State players saw at least 10 minutes of action, whereas Winthrop (2-2) only had six players on the court for more than five minutes all game. Mollee Schwegler added two points off the bench, Samantha Siegner four and ShaKiana Edwards-Teasley a pair. All in all, the Beavers' bench accounted for nearly half of their team's total, 31 of 64 points. Winthrop's reserves managed just four.
"I love it and I think we are better for it," Rueck said of his squad's depth. "It's setting us up for good things in the future. You don't want to have to play people 38 minutes a game like I have the last couple seasons. I'm really proud of our freshmen for rising to the challenge and working into our lineup and I think it really helps our veterans, not having to play quite as many minutes."
That depth served Oregon State well in the second half, as they needed every ounce of energy to bounce back from a Winthrop run to begin the period. After Toure made a pair of free throws to begin things coming out of the break, the Eagles reeled off 13 straight points of their own to grab a 41-33 lead.
Oregon State responded with a 9-0 run immediately after, highlighted by a Weisner steal and breakaway layup, eventually taking a 42-41 edge with 12:01 to play. The lead would change hands a couple more times before an Ali Gibson lay-in with 8:15 remaining gave OSU a 52-50 lead, which it would grow to as large as 12 and never relinquish.
The majority of Winthrop's offense came from behind the arc, as 10 of its 22 made field goals were three pointers. The Eagles opened the game hitting their first three treys in each half and seven of their first 10 in the contest, but over the last 16 minutes they only went 3-for-14 from deep, including an unimportant basket at the final buzzer.
Dequesha McClanahan had 21 points and 11 assists for Winthrop and fellow guards Diana Choibekova (12) and Samiya Wright (11) were the other Eagles in double figures.
"We respected their guards," Rueck said. "We knew how talented they were, how alert we needed to be, how sharp we needed to be and I thought we came out with a really good effort defensively. We're becoming a really gritty, hard-nosed team."
Bright's effort gave her three straight games with 10 or more points for the first time in her career. With two on the night, she also has126 career blocks, just two shy of Tanya Mothershed for fifth in OSU history. Mothershed accumulated hers in 108 games. Bright has amassed her total in only 37 career contests.
Oregon State has never face Louisville and is 2-0 all-time against Gonzaga, last facing the Bulldogs in 2003-04.

The jenn cakes are really close to the recipe for oopsie rolls. sounds good either way though!
Much primal food was eaten yesterday: chicken, vegetables, more vegetables, raisins and sunflower seeds, more chicken, strawberries. A small quantity of corn chips, but eaten from a individual bowl, not mindlessly from the bag. And one glass of soda (WHAT!?!- I know, I know).
None of this was written down in a timely fashion, due to GUESTS, but I did pretty well, except for not drinking enough water. Too much time spent being a HOSTESS, and not enough thinking about what my body needs, but that happens sometimes.
The house was clean (enough) and though I heard one 'oh, my' when my honey took them into the front room to choose the games, I will cling to the belief that that could have been from the amount of books and games, and not from all the other stuff crammed into that room. I am a good clinger.
Anyways, it looked like they had fun, and my honey and I certainly did.
They only thing I can post for certain from yesterday, though:
Up at 7:15
Bed at 10:00
Now I am off to do The Thing. I am supposed to be doing it every day for the rest of the bunch, with a group. It will either get me over my emotions, or kill me.
I have placed my bet on survival.
[SIZE=7]Action is the antidote to despair.[/SIZE][size=7][/size]
I am going to take a break from food journalling.
I am going through a rough patch, with my eating as a response to both The Thing, and job/money worries. I avoid writing things down when they are bad, bad, BAD! Then I feel bad for not keeping track, on top of feeling bad physically, and what do I do when I am feeling bad?
You guessed it.
I want my primal lifestyle to be a refuge for me, not something I feel bad about when I slip. So, I'm going to NOT post my food for a while, see if it helps with these FEELINGS.
That's all.
Good for you. Giving yourself what you need should be the first priority. I've completely stopped talking about food and Primal eating in my journal too.
It is good to be flexible with methods. I stopped posting everything when it was starting to weigh on me. And sometimes I read journals and skip over the food reports, because if I spend too much time thinking about food, I spend too much time eating it. Weighing too. I do it often enough to keep myself accountable, but I don't feel obliged to do it daily if it's going to discourage me. Which is a long-winded way of saying I understand, and I support you on this. Do what works.
Thanks, Pebbles and Judg. It is a strange thing about writing a 'public' journal. You're trying to be open and truthful, as if it was just yourself, but you also want that connection that gives you support, accountability, a release, whatever we each get from an online journal. And sometimes there's that sense that you are letting other people down, if you don't continue with whatever you have been doing. Health is too important to be catering to others, but I think there's an element of that. Particularly, as I know I have stopped reading some journals if they weren't offering what I want from the journal reading experience. What if someone starts thinking, 'This Sabine, she's changed so much. What a downer.'
Of course, I could just be incredibly conceited, thinking anyone gives a flip what I put in my journal! :) But if you can't be conceited in your own journal, well, where can you?
So, the sex.
My honey and I have a good sex life. It has gone through its various permutations over the past twenty-nine years (oh, my goodness, I have been having sex for 29 years!), and I have to say, it has only gotten better as i have gotten over various body hang-ups and confidence issues.
But this morning, during some particularly vigorous sex, my fat started wiggling. Really wiggling. So much that it hurts, like when you are running really fast, and your breasts are being yanked around by physics.
So, it hurt, plus it made me aware of the incredible amounts of fat on my belly and thighs, even my back. It was ridiculous. And definitely spoiled the mood for me. Hard to be in the moment when you are thinking about how wiggly you are.
I don't know if it has been my past days of poor eating, leading to extra water retention. Or my fat getting 'softer' as I am losing. Or honey just being particularly athletic (he did skip his workout today, as it is a holiday. Maybe he was compensating?). Or something else entirely.
I do not like it.
Sex should be fun. I should not be worrying about wiggling bits. I tried to simulate the motion in front of the mirror later, to see what it looked like from another angle. One, it is hard to get going in the same way, two, I couldn't get the angle that my honey had, three, I'm sure he wasn't thinking about any wiggling in a critical way, but still, I did it.
Will this motivate me to eat right? Or send me into a further spiral?
Or just make me wait until dark next time?
When you lose weight your body goes after the saturated fat first... you probably noticed your body being firmer when you started paleo vs now. It's because sat fat on your body is much harder (and a much more nutrient dense form of fuel). Once that starts depleting you're left with the gelatinous fat... gross sounding... but the wigglyness is an indication that you're burning your sat fat. Be proud of that. I know it feels gross but consider it progress. You should feel good about it! Next time you're at it and feeling wiggley just remember it's because you are losing weight and reaching for your new sexier body. :)
So when do we firm up again? It seems the only fat I have left is flab. Fortunately much less of it, but if I'm going to have fat, I'd rather it be the dense stuff...
This is where exercise comes in. You don't exercise to lose fat- you exercise to tighten up. When your muscles grow and tighten they pull your skin/gross fat in and gives you shape.

Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Richard Boucher shares his thoughts on U.S. policy toward Afghanistan and Pakistan and the U.S. Presidential transition.ASSISTANT SECRETARY BOUCHER: We're in an interesting time right now. We're trying to do everything we can in Afghanistan and Pakistan especially to help solidify the situation and make it better. But we're also trying to get the new administration ready, so I've started talking to the transition folks who are coming in, gathering a lot of information from us even while the policy reviews of the existing administration are going on.
What we've concentrated on in those policy reviews is what can we do now, what can we do in the next few months to make a better foundation for next year. And we're working on things like getting more U.S. troops out to Afghanistan, getting more U.S. civilians out to Afghanistan, helping the Afghans build government at the local level – the things that really provide a base for stability and a base for success. So a lot of those things we can do in the next few months. We can get them going. We can get them settled. We can get the budgets together. And then the new administration can pick up and decide how they want to take it.
Our motto right now is, "Do more and do better." So "do more" means getting those extra resources out there, but "do better" also means using them in a way that helps both governance at the local level so that Afghans, so that ordinary people, get security, get justice, get health and education and what they expect from their government – roads, electricity.
There's actually a lot of good things going on in Afghanistan, but there's also a lot more insecurity because of the bombs that have been going off, because the Taliban have changed their tactics to set off bombs. So we've got to deal with that. And we've got to deal with that by sort of putting a web of government on top of the bombs and smothering the ability of the Taliban to do that. That's going to be the effort that we're undertaking now.
On the Pakistani side, we've seen a lot more determination and pressure on the Taliban and the militants that are up there in the tribal areas. The Paks have undertaken some really serious military operations. But again, we're looking at how do we help them train up better forces? How do we help them build better institutions of government in those areas and more generally around Pakistan? How do we help them get through their, I'd say, triple crises right now? One is the economic crisis that they've got to get over. Two is the security crisis with militants trying to attack and set off bombs in Pakistan. They've got to fight that. And the third is the political crisis, meaning that they're coming through a civilian transition, they're now in a democratic governance period; how do we solidify that democratic governance for them?
So it's become a very interesting period for all of us. I like transitions. I like transitions because you look at what you're doing, you try to examine how to do it better, you try to explain it to the new people coming in, and you try to give them thoughts and options about how they can take things forward and sort of merge their thinking with your thinking as we go forward.
Ron in New York writes:
Truth-telling is the 1st step toward a rational policy for the USG and the Tali-Stans. Military approaches to the Opium-based corrupt Afghan political economy, will fail and metastacize incursions/insurgencies into Pakistan. The incoming administration knows this, and hopes the hole is not deepened in the final month.
Donald in Virginia writes:
26 November 08
After this latest attacks in India, makes you wonder if Pakistan was behind it?
Strategy needs to be changed!
We don't need more troops on the ground in Afghanistan or Pakistan. What our country should be doing is winding up the bombers as use my suggestion earlier. The taliban cannot walk and chew gum if there being bombarded with Sand!
What else could be put in sand bags? Ohhhhh I'm sure our Military can think of a few things to add!
I might be right about this...You have tried the methods of bullets, motars, missiles, and to think how much lead has already been fired in those countries.
My philosphy on tactics is simple: You bury your enemy and he or she cannot return fire!
If Washington continues spending mutliple of billions of dollars on these two countries it will only be in vein. My simple idea would be cost effective. A 25 or 50 pound sand bag at 25,000 feet would have those taliban rebels running for higher ground! Imagine if you used four corners of the country and just sand bag the heck out it! How much would it cost for sand bags to be filled, plus you would never run out of sand in the desert.
The other part of my suggestion would be to introduce pigs to the area. Run pigs through the country of Afghanistan. If a pig walked over an IED okay our forces are having bacon for lunch. It's better a pig walking over the IED'S then say our soldiers who are in harms way!
Since Muslims don't like pigs, they are a dirty animal. I would also mention the sounds of pigs should be broadcasted through the entire country of Afghanistan. This should be good propaganda to keep the Taliban moving towards being captured!
Besides I know it might be poltically incorrect, but then war is war and our side needs to use all tools to ensure we bring our men and women home safe!
Best Regards,
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
How do we solidify democratic governance for them?
What if the people of Afghanistan don't want western-style democracy?
If they prefer tribal leadership over western-style democracy because it gives them local control, direct communication with their leaders, and direct input into government policies, why should that choice be any of our business?
Why would Afghanistan want to be ruled by an unresponsive federal bureaucracy that has little or no accountability to the average citizen?
Did Afghanistan's derivatives bring financial collapse to the western world?
Did Iraq's leaders remove trillions of dollars from the national treasury against the will of the people in order to rescue fools and their bankrupt corporations?
Why would these nations listen to advice from a banana-republic government such as ours -- a government that refuses to even check that our next president is an natural-born American?
Democracy isn't a "one size fits all" solution to the world's problems, particularly when the people who run the political machine haven't read the operating instructions.

Positive economic reports boosted the markets early this morning and, even after disappointing comments were made from both sides of the political aisle, which caused the markets to drop sharply, proof that the U.S. economy is growing stronger gave investors enough reason to resume their buying. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEX: ^DJI ) ultimately closed up 36 points, or 0.28%, at 13,021. Of the 30 stocks which make up the Dow, only eight of them were in the red when the closing bell rang. This afternoon I explained why Intel (Nasdaq: INTC ) , Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) , and IBM (NYSE: IBM ) all moved lower; click here to read about those companies. Of the 22 stocks remaining Dow components which moved higher, three of the best performers were Disney (NYSE: DIS ) , UnitedHealth (NYSE: UNH ) , and Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT ) .
So why were they higher?
This morning, Disney announced that it would be increasing its annual dividend by 25% and moving its payout date to fall in the 2012 tax year. The old dividend of $0.60 per share was increased to $0.75 per share, which gives the company a dividend yield of 1.5% at the current $49.72 share price. The new dividend amount will now be paid to shareholders on record as of December 10, and distributions will be made on December 28. Disney follows a long list of companies which have moved their dividend distribution dates from early 2013 to December 2012 in order to avoid the likely higher tax rates on dividends starting next year. Shares of Disney rose 1.06% today.
Shares of UnitedHealth outpaced every other Dow component today, as they moved higher by 3.05%. The health-care industry, which initially fought the Affordable Care Act, is now switching sides and actually helping it. Bloomberg reported today that Aetna (NYSE: AET ) and other insurers have teamed up with Enroll America, and other non-profit organizations, to get all of the 43 million uninsured Americans covered under the new health-care law. Many believe that the new customers will offset the higher costs which the insurers will now be legally required to take on. Now that the insurers themselves are on board with the law, perhaps investors are beginning to believe that the more customers/lower cost formula is correct.
Reports have been flying that Chinese construction equipment manufacturers are attempting to take away business from Caterpillar, but Caterpillar Group President Ed Rapp made it clear that the company will not be lying down for the Chinese. In a recent statement he said:
We're bringing our game to China, the best way to beat Chinese outside of China is to compete and win with them inside of China.
Clearly, Caterpillar is ready for a fight, and intends to go to battle on the visitor's turf. Shares of Caterpillar moved higher by 1.54% today, the second biggest move to the upside, behind UnitedHealth.
Foolishly investing
Caterpillar is the market share leader in an industry in which size matters, and its quality products, extensive service network, and unparalleled brand strength combine to give it solid competitive advantages.

STELLARTON ŌĆō Repair work for a cracked concrete box culvert, which caused a large sinkhole on Foord Street in 2009 is running about three months behind schedule.
The construction work, which has focused around Exit 24, was originally supposed to be completed around the end of June but is not expected to be completed now until the end of September, said Pam Menchenton, a spokesperson with the Department of Transportation.
The problem was caused around an old culvert, which had been installed in 1963 by the province when the highway was built. It had become so filled with dirt it became completely clogged and impassable.
Because the department of transportation installed it it was their responsibility to fix and they are covering the complete cost. The nature of the project is complex and the tender was awarded to Caldwell & Ross Ltd. in New Brunswick to do the work.
Menchenton said that the space has been challenging for them to work in, which is part of the reason for the delays.
ŌĆ£The new date is late September,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£We do appreciate how long residents have been waiting for this.ŌĆØ
Stellarton town engineer Tony Addis said that while the project is running behind, heŌĆÖs pleased with the work thatŌĆÖs been done so far. The delays wonŌĆÖt increase the cost of the project for residents and in fact the company is being fined for each day past the deadline they go.
The part of the project that will impact residents the most is going to be around the first week of September, when Foord Street will be completely closed in that area for about several weeks.
Addis said there will be a detour set up around the work with people using Exit 23 and Exit 24 instead.

21st Century Breakdown
Green Day
When the world betrays you, do you drop out or fight back?
That's the central question of "21st Century Breakdown," Green Day's new album, centering around the odd couple of Christian, the nihilist, and Gloria, the activist, with swipes, along the way, at organized religion and the vacuity of modern culture ("I can't see a thing in the video/I can't hear a sound on the radio").
"I don't want to live in the modern world" is one of the album's many rallying cries. "Silence is the enemy/So gimme, gimme revolution," frontman Billie Joe Armstrong sings on "Know Your Enemy," though on other songs, he tends to see more shades of gray.
Like the band's 2004 megahit "American Idiot," "21st Century Breakdown" has been described as a rock opera (or a punk-rock opera). This is a bit misleading, because both albums offer only vaguely sketched characters and the barest skeleton of a storyline. But on this album, as on its predecessor, the band proves that it is possible to grapple with big issues over charging beats and sharp pop hooks.
Like "American Idiot," this album also sees the former punk minimalists expanding their sound. Sometimes, Armstrong, drummer Tre Cool and bassist Mike Dirnt barrel ahead like the Ramones. But they also echo the larger-than-life pomp of Queen, the Who and U2, and often change moods several times in the course of one song. The five-minute title track, for instance, comes off like four short songs strung together.
The band rocks as fiercely it ever has on numbers like "Horseshoes and Handgrenades" and "American Eulogy," yet the album also features some of its gentlest ballads. "With every breath that I am worth, here on earth/I'm sending all my love to you," Armstrong croons on "Last Night On Earth."
There is a lot of sloganeering. In this rock opera, the characters don't do much except emote, and shout their opinions at each other. Like "American Idiot," "21st Century Breakdown" is immensely enjoyable on a superficial level, but doesn't necessarily reward those who spend a lot of time trying to explore its intricacies.
Green Day plays sold-out shows in New York at the Bowery Ballroom Monday and Webster Hall Tuesday. They play Madison Square Garden on July 27 with Kaiser Chiefs opening. Garden tickets, $29.50-$49.50, go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. Call (800) 745-3000 or visit ticketmaster.com.
"Journey to the New World"
Sharon Isbin
(Sony Classical)
Despite her weakness for airbrushed glamour shots, classical guitarist Sharon Isbin has long had a knack for anthologies as thoughtful as they are virtuosic. This disc traces Anglo melody from England and Ireland to the New World and the 21st century. She plays arrangements of Renaissance lute pieces with beauty and spice, and "Appalachia Waltz" composer-violinist Mark O'Connor joins her for his charming "Strings & Threads Suite." The guitarist solos in John Duarte's ingeniously arranged suite of tunes associated with Joan Baez, a hero of Isbin's '60s youth. Baez guests to sing two numbers; the vocalist's phrasing isn't as arch as it once was, and the gray in her voice adds deep feeling to "Wayfaring Stranger," with Isbin's guitar gorgeous when it takes the spotlight in turn.
"Make a Move"
Hill Country Revue
(Razor & Tie)
From Bob Dylan to the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, there are those who can still make the blues feel as fertile as the Delta flood plain. But the Hill Country Revue -- guitarist Cody Dickinson and bassist Chris Chew's spin-off from North Mississippi All-Stars (while guitarist Luther Dickinson plays with the Black Crowes) -- makes the inherited mix of R.L. Burnside blues and Allman Brothers jams sound exhausted. They pummel old grooves from Burnside's "Georgia Women" (his rewrite of "Shake 'em on Down") to Jimi Hendrix' "Voodoo Chile" riff (over and over in several tracks). Worse are such "originals" as "Hill Country Revue" and "Let Me Love You," where Daniel Robert Coburn chants the boneheaded words of Garry Burnside (R.L.'s youngest son) to tuneless effect.
Billy Hector
(Ghetto Surf)
One of the best -- and busiest -- artists on the local blues-rock circuit, shore-based singer-songwriter-guitarist Billy Hector is also a prolific recording artist, issuing 12 albums over the last 20 years. "Traveler" finds him in typically good form, playing in styles reminiscent of everyone from Jimmy Reed ("Play So Rough") to ZZ Top ("Moonlight In Her Eyes"), and reproducing the bar-band drive of his live performances on songs like "PollyAnne" and "Last Train Home." He growls menacingly on "Blacklight," but delivers "Treat Your Daddy Right" with a light, funky touch; his wife and co-songwriter Suzan Lastovica sings the torch song "Wild Heart."
For a listing of Hector's appearances, including weekly gigs at the Ragin' Cajun in Belmar and the West Side Tavern in Point Pleasant, visit billyhector.com.
Lynne Arriale
(Motema Music)
For her 12th CD, pianist and composer Lynne Arriale gathers a first-rate quartet -- trumpeter Randy Brecker, bassist George Mraz and drummer Anthony Pinciotti -- to address originals and covers with freshness. Take Monk's "I Mean You," which dispenses with form at moments, but mostly swings; Arriale delivers some deft Monk touches at points. Sting's "Wrapped Around Your Finger" is also open-minded, lit up by simultaneous piano and trumpet. Arriale's "La Noche" is fast but the melody lingers. Brecker's solo boasts juicy remarks, the leader's likewise. Her "Carry On" is a medium-paced burner; "A Gentle Soul" slow and emotive. Throughout, Mraz and Pinciotti are masterful.
Arriale's quartet plays at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Jazz Standard, 116 E. 27th St., New York. (212) 576-2232, jazzstandard.net.
"Exact Change"
Mark Levine
Veteran pianist Mark Levine scores with a solid trio session evincing high musicality and broad appeal. On Mulgrew Miller's percolating title track, Levine mixes lyricism with more adventurous ideas, all underpinned with robust rhythm. Bassist Peter Barshay and drummer Mike Clark kick him enthusiastically, then each offer substantial improvs. Miller's "One Notch Up," another engaging modern opus, goes from throbbing low notes to high range remarks, and shifts meters to add challenge and interest. Taken swiftly, Wayne Shorter's "Black Nile" bristles with excitement, Levine telling enticing tales at tempo. "I Hear a Rhapsody" and "Have You Met Miss Jones" are two beguiling standard interpretations. Joe Henderson's blues, "Isotope," is another winner, this with bassist John Witala and drummer Eddie Marshall.

Same-Sex Marriage in New JerseyElizabeth Cooper on NBC New York, October 22, 2013
Media Source
Elizabeth Cooper, associate professor at Fordham Law School, discusses New Jersey becoming the 14th state to recognize the rights of gay couples to marry.
According to Cooper: "The Supreme Court in its decision on Friday made clear that they really saw no way that same-sex couples [in New Jersey] could not be given the right to get married; civil unions were just not enough."

Further up the Eixo is the Memorial JK (Juscelino Kubitschek), best reached by one of the many buses heading up the Eixo, as it's too far to walk. Here, a rather Soviet-looking statue of Brasília's founder stands inside an enormous question-mark, pointing down the Eixo towards the heart of government. The museum below reverently reproduces JK's library and study, while the man himself lies upstairs in state in a black marble sarcophagus, backlit by an extraordinary combination of purple, violet and orange lights – the only thing missing is a sound system piping in "The Age of Aquarius". All around is a fascinating display of personal mementoes of JK's career and the founding and construction of the city, including photos and video clips of his funeral and the dedication of the Memorial – in turning out in their hundreds of thousands in his honour, despite the desire of the military dictatorship to keep the event low-key, the population of the Distrito Federal made the first important anti-military demonstration, one of the reasons for the subsequent slow relaxing of the military's grip on power.

Wind Cape on one of the characters to minimize wind damage, Stun Capes on the two other folks to avoid getting paralysed which is nasty.
I recall being able to paralyse the boss with that one thunder-elemental axe too, but he still acted both the times each turn so it probably isn't much use.
If nothing else works, learn Mirror with a Black Mage and return his spells back at him, healing with Potions instead.
Surlypanda 6 years ago#3
Use BM's Mirror and have Salve-Maker heal with Dispense and Healthcare.
playingforfun 6 years ago#4
I did it by upgrading the Bard once on Aire and using the mouse for healing. Brandt as Bandit with the bow Arbor sold and the Attack song hit for over 100 damage per attack. With the protection song I was able to withstand Arbaroc's assault no problem.
I was lvl 19. white mage and bandit. their is a fairy cape in the tree dungeon. put that on the bandit, the wind cape from dungeon on the white mage. When the boss takes to the air don't attack it, he seemed to counter more when it was in the air. Just use that time to heal and boost. And just have the white mage heal every turn of battle
KalirSavant 6 years ago#6
My strategery: Brandt as Salve-maker, Aire as White Mage. Aire spent her turns healing, and Brandt fed Dispensary'd Ethers to Torte for constant Blizzaras. When I needed to replenish Dispensary, I prepared a Spell Focus to one-two a Blizzard/Blizzara.
Salve-makers rock.
I prepared Explosive Runes this morning.
lol torte went in naked on this one for me and got one-shotted at the start, hero was salve-maker and aire was a black mage.. just cycled dispense and healthcare on hero + hi-potion and focus+aero for aire..
Wow...grinded to 21 and still get owned >_> He keeps paralyzing me and dont see anythign in the shop to counteract it
i went through the paralysis..kept hp full all the time so when a character/s gets paralyzed i can stand for some turns
I just beat him. I had one healer with all of the white magic possible: cure, cura, raise, shell, protect, and healthgiver.
The other two were equipped with red shots, one being a bandit, though i don't see that being all that important.
The strategy is to have the two attackers attack and cure alternatively. I think the mouse is good for curing mostly, as both his attack and blizzara barely do damage. While the bird is on the ground, the two attackers keep their own hp up by alternatively attacking and curing. The white mage should be casting shell 3 times and then protect 3 times, unless the bird leaves the ground. It may take a couple of tries getting it right, but from what i've seen, the bird lifts off after 3 or 4 turns. I recommend going shell->shell->healthgiver->cure. Oddly enough, my healer shelled the one who needed it most last, the mouse, who takes a lot more damage than the others.
When the bird is in the air, focus on healing. At least until the bird is about to die. At some point, he starts to go crazy when he's on the ground, but his strategy is the same in the air. At this point, you should reverse your strategy, buffing when hes in the air and curing when hes on the ground. His Leaf-aga or whatever does ALOT of damage to all your party, and he does it twice and fast. Finish him quickly now because his berserkiness means hes almost dead.

Pleased with the progress made by the Union Hotel's new development team, Flemington borough council agreed this week to extend the group's deadline to secure a liquor license and finalize a development agreement with the borough.
In November, council selected Flemington Union Hotel LLC, which includes Flemington restaurateur Matthew McPherson and sales and marketing professional Liam Burns, of Readington Township, to redevelop the long-vacant hotel.
The group had 90 days or by Feb. 26 to secure a liquor license and the title to the Union Hotel property, according to the initial agreement. They also had 90 days to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the borough, which will establish another series of conditions and requirements for the hotel's redevelopment.
The group has acquired the hotel property and is under contract to buy the Bensi restaurant, which includes a liquor license, Councilman Phil Greiner said. They expect to complete the transaction before the first 90-day period expires, he said.
"There are some other things that they want to do that they have been working diligently on," Greiner said. "And all of those things I feel are more important, if I had to choose, than negotiating a (memorandum)," Greiner said.
He felt that the redevelopers' priorities were right.
"It's very encouraging the positive amount of progress on this project," Greiner said, adding that he hopes the memorandum between the borough and developer would be nailed down during the extended 90-day period.
"There is a contract signed to acquire the liquor license and the ownership of Bensi," Council President Phil Velella said. "They're just waiting on the final documents for closing."
Velella said the memorandum is essentially the borough's redevelopment agreement with the development group. Borough officials have not offered any new specifics since they designated Flemington Union Hotel LLC as the redeveloper.
The Union Hotel has a long history in the borough.
Built in 1878 on the site of an earlier inn, the hotel sits across from the historic Hunterdon County Courthouse. Since the 1950s, it has been underutilized when it stopped being used as a hotel. Vacant since 2008, the building's lower floor was used for a bar, restaurant and limited retail, according to borough documents.
Although no formal plan has been submitted, the developer's proposal includes:
- 50 to 55 hotel rooms.
- a grand ballroom for weddings.
- state of the art technology for large corporate meetings.
- a pub with a bar providing casual dining.
- a steakhouse providing local farm produce.
- outdoor dining on the front porch.
- a studio kitchen for corporate building events, cooking classes and chef demonstrations.
- space for boutique and specialty shops.
- a four-room spa.
- plans for external access to power, audio and lighting to support borough-sponsored Main Street events.

The Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce has announced the next ornament in its collectible ornament series will feature the All-Vets Social Center. The ornament, which will sell for $19, is expected to be available for purchase in late July from the Chamber, 205 Main Ave.
The ornament is the 13th in the series of collectible historical ornaments which are limited to the year of production.
Built on the golf course in 1929 at a cost of $40,000, the All-Vet's Social Center was a familiar north shore landmark before being torn down in 1997. In its prime, the social center, which was 120 feet by 85 feet, was a fashionable and fun place. The woodwork was of red gum, the ceiling paneled and painted and the floor was smooth white maple.

But this year, in the wake of Sandy, organizers transformed the November 17 awards night into a benefit for local musicians who lost possessions or gear to the storm, and raised over $1600 with a concert at Maxwell's featuring Skanatra, Davey & The Trainwreck, The Nico Blues, The Fave, Hello Radio, and Julian Peterson.
But there's still that little matter of trophies to hand out. So this Saturday, December 15, the 2012 Hoboken Music Awards will reconvene to honor top local musicians with an awards ceremony at Northern Soul, in the heart of the storm-ravaged neighborhood of west First Street.
Organizer Dave Entwistle stressed that it's important to think of this event not as a competition but as a celebration. "Other than having the awards, there's no really no other reason for local musicians to get together and enjoy an evening with their peers, unless somebody throws a big benefit or something," he said. "I've been in Hoboken for years now and I've met all these other musicians and we play shows together, but it wasn't until my band The Fave got nominated for an Asbury Music Award a few years ago that I was exposed to something like this."
"You go to the Asbury Music Awards and you're in a room full of people, and pretty much anyone you bump into is going to be a musician," he continued. "So everyone gets to catch up and talk about how their year went, and what new things they're working on. And I just thought, why isn't there something like this in Hoboken? So that was the inspiration for us starting this."
"If you win a Hoboken Music Award, it doesn't say Best Album or Best Band, it says Outstanding Album or Outstanding Band," Entwistle noted. "We're not telling anyone who we think is the best, we're just noting that this person or this band had an outstanding year and deserves a pat on the back from their peers."
This year marks the fourth annual HMA's, and Entwistle noted that he's especially happy that in addition to the Hobey trophies, winning bands will be rewarded with free studio time. "Dan McLaughlin from Garden Street Music has this excellent studio called the Vault and every year he's donated a nice recording package to the band that wins Outstanding Album or Outstanding EP. And then Rob Grenoble from Water Music found out about what we were doing and came one year to check it out, and then he wanted to do the same thing," Entwistle explained. "So here we're offering a local band who's playing shows and making great music a chance to go into a top-notch recording studio and make a quality recording that will maybe get them on the radio or interest a label. It's not just an award, it's a way to keep making local music stronger. I'm hoping as the years go on that we'll be able to attract more sponsors and offer more things like this. There are so many famous recording studios in Hoboken, there are real opportunities there."
Artists don't have to reside in town to be eligible for a Hobey, just perform there regularly, so the nominees range from familiar faces like Hobokenites Hello Radio, Roland Ramos, Liam Brown, Marty O'Kane, Mike Korman, and Khaled Dajani; to Jersey City folk-rockers The Micks and the since-disbanded Black Water; to teenaged retro-rocker Jack Skuller and singer-songwriter Julian Peterson from Weehawken; to acts from around North Jersey including Montclair's Bern & The Brights and Dromedary Records recording artists The 65's.
The nominees for "Outstanding Album" and "Outstanding EP" represent the strongest slate since the inception of the HMA's, with outstanding releases from the likes of The Nico Blues, The Micks, Bern & The Brights, Davey & The Trainwreck, Mike Korman, and Roland Ramos.
Over the past year, all of the nominees have played venues like Maxwell's and Northern Soul, while several have done residencies at the live music Sundays presented at D's Soul Full Café, now under the management of local blogger and HMA co-organizer Stephen Bailey. Bill Hamilton's "Beele Loft" and the now-closed Moonlight Mile recording studio also hosted memorable shows in 2012, augmented by irregular but jam-packed live-music nights at D.C.'s Tavern on Eighth Street booked by Leah Noelle Simone (nominated for Outstanding Scene Contributor.)
The People's Choice Award is voted on by the public and recognizes a favorite band, artist, or scene contributor. The ballots originally cast for the award were lost due to damage by Sandy, so voting remains open through the end of the day today. You can cast your vote here.
The 4th Annual Hoboken Music Awards will take place at Northern Soul (557 First Street at Madison) on Saturday, December 15. Admission is free. The live performances will start at 8 p.m., and the awards will be presented at the conclusion of the night, Entwistle said. That way, artists who are performing at or attending several Sandy benefits in the area that day can arrive late and not miss the award presentations.
