Great hotel and great Location!!!! At a reasonable price Breakfast is nor so cheap!
Nice view and location Not availabla at all King size bed in standard room, old fashion decoration, expensive breakfast, require to be refurnished, some element are not working
Localization, cleaness and confortable
Toured the city
after a very difficult check in experience a different member of staff from the orignal receptionist upgraded us as a gesture of goodwill. the orignal receptionist was unhelpful and did not provide any useful information such the availability of the ski bus, breakfast times or other useful services
The room was large with plenty of space. There were very good views of the mountains. The armchair in the room needed replacing. The was no separate shower in the bathroom. The television was not state of the art. At 26 € the breakfast was far too expensive. For the price that I paid I expected better facilities
Loved that they had on site parking. Loved the spacious and clean rooms. Steak house in the hotel was wonderful. Close to all major attractions. Very friendly staff. Cost of parking. Cost of breakfast.
Spacy room, great view, great breakfast I think that hotels of this class should provide Internet free of charge
I think for the price things like internet and parking should have been free. They were not and cost 17 and 10 Euros respectively. I think that is a little low-budget for a nice hotel like a Hilton. They should not "nickle and dime" their customers who are already spending top dollar to stay there.
The service staffing at breakfast was fantastic. Air conditioning in room was nice. Clean room and bathroom. Needs a pool
the location was great and the stuff was help full, over all i loved every thing in the hotel.^^
kindly staff N/A
We were traveling through Bavaria by train, this hotel was just steps from the Innsbruck train station. Luxurious, with every amenity in the room, beautiful modern decor, immaculately clean, luxury bath. Quick walk into Innsbruck, everything can be reached on foot plus there is a bus system. There is a coin laundry just across the street also. The buffet breakfast was amazing, best I've ever had. The staff wa friendly and very helpful. No, it was really wonderful.
An excellent restaurant for evening meal with attentive service and superb food which also applied to the included breakfast. nothing
The staff on the Reception desk were extremely welcoming and helpful.
the all hotel was great and the staff were great to us since I was on crutches. they couldn.t do enough for us. the breakfast ladies were dressed in national costume and so friendly.
Very warm welcome - friendly, old fashioned service, room was extremely comfortable
Vicino al centro storico, camere abbastanza grandi, personale disponibile. L'hotel è di fronte alla stazione ferroviaria: il panorama non è dei migliori! Camera rassettata senza ripristino dei contenitori di shampoo e bagnoschiuma, mancavano le ciabatte. Zona sauna/bagno turco senza personale presente.
Cosy rooms, excellent restaurant & staff.
Room was too hot Room was too hot
The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for the train station and the heart of the city.
Central location
Friendly staff and good privacy. No complaints.
the location was very good. The parking facility was good. The fitness room equipment was very poor. The 2 cycles were dangerous and broken. The weight machine was OK.
The personal were very friedly and helpful. The room clean a bit of tlc would do the hotel good the lager is good for shopping etc. and the price good. Nothing
The hotel was in a very good location. The front desk attendant was marvelous and the rooms had a great deal of storage room. In general, being from the US, we typically sleep on softer beds. Although I don't specifically recall the hardness of your beds, all that we stayed at were harder than we are accustomed to in the US.
Great location. Easy access to all sites. Bed very comfortable. Breakfast was extensive, and served in their restaurant which is a happening spot early in the morning which made it fun. Lobby staff didnt seem overly friendly. Just kinda there going through the motions.
Very good breakfast,the Cafè was very nice, good to have dinner,too.Central position.Parking facilities.The room was very clean and with good fornitures. We are very happy to chose this hotel and I think we will visit it again!! The room was very hot and it is not possible to change the temperature!
Lovely hotel in great location.....
Family room provided was very spacious and comfortable. limited car parking, so had to use public parking.
It was definetly a superior-class hotel, placed in a good position in respect to the historical downtown, and the room was very big.
As the name says this hotel is realy in the Center of Innsbruck. The breakfast and bar room still have the charme and stile of the famous austrian "Kaffeehaus" Although the rooms are comfortable, they are very small.
great location close to everything; very helpful staff (I needed an adaptor for mobile and they supplied one free of charge straight away) and a superb breakfast
Breakfast was good and in a very pleasant restaurant with a good view. Liked the evening bar on the terrace and a pianist was there too so nice to have some live music. No evening restaurant.
The location, staff, and breakfast were all amazing. We would come back just for the breakfast! The room was fine but we were expecting better. The bed and linens were average, the bathroom was a bit odd in that our young children could never reach the faucets and the door always swung open and hit you when using the toilet. Also, the room was very hot (in February), and the only way to effectively cool the room was by opening the window and enduring construction noise next door.
the breakfast 4th floor carpet damaged and filthy upon arrival no service for luggage to be taken to the room hot water not hot by early evening service of breakfast staff efficient but cold damaged electrical outlets in the room not enough evening reception staff during 23rd and 24th Dec
Fantastic homeland definitely value for money. Very friendly staff who were really helpful and made you feel very welcome. The best breakfast I have had in a hotel in Europe with lovely waiting staff. The room was comfortable if a little hot but opening the window solved that. The location was perfect with a very short walk to restaurants and shops as w,ell as the museums churches etc. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone contemplating staying in Innsbruck.
Breakfast was great. I could not get coffee or tea until 16:00pm after breakfast.I wanted to sit on the rooftop terrace and drink coffee but this was not possible unless I bought a takeaway coffee from elsewhere.
The location was excellent-quality hotel with excellent facilities and service. Breakfast choice outstanding. The wooden floors tend to echo and at times one could hear the room above and the people moving around. however this is a minor point considering how good the hotel is.
central, nice bathroom, very nice bar and breakfast area, good breakfast for this price I expect a wireless internet and sauna and sport centre, hotel hs no restaurant
Breakfast buffet was fantastic. The rooms and public areas were well maintained and clean. Location is very convenient. The mattresses were low end and the double was 2 twin beds pushed together. The beds actually separated a few times. The TV had only 1 English language channel and no movie rentals.
The restaurant on the fifth floor and its the very central position.
Breakfast was phenomenal!! Amazing range of food and condiments - by far the best we have had around the world and wonderful dining room staff as well We missed being able to make ourselves a cup of tea in the morning when we awoke...jet lag often means this can be any time from 2AM onwards. Can you consider putting a kettle/cups etc in the room as we are used to having this available in London and Singapore??
The location was good and convenient. Not many amenities; no lobby; beds uncomfortable. Too many steps to climb carrying luggage. Would recommend only to day travelers not long term visitors.
good location, fair breakfast, good hotel staff. poor cleanliness all over the hotel, very old, useless furniture. Very old appliances.
prepared us breakfast for ealy start which was appreciated
rooms tiny.
The location from the train station is good. The woman on reception that checked us in was rude and we later found out that she checked us into a room that was not supposed to be used as the shower-head was broken.
It was fairly Central to all of the sights of Innsbruck, and to the night life etc, simple , no frills ,but fine
This hotel is straight down the street in front of the train station--about a 5 minute walk. Very convenient! I missed having a hair dryer in the room, since I did not pack one. Also, the breakfast room is divided into a smoking and non-smoking section with no ventilation, so it may as well have all been a smoking area.
The position is 5 minutes from the city center. Double room too small.
clean room, good breakfast, fast internet connection on the hall of the 1st floor room was noisy and even if non-smoker's room, smoke smell was coming in.
no nonsense lack of parking which was fairly far and expensive
1.good location:just between HBF and old town, to each less than 10 mins walk,2.very freindly and helpful staff,3. with good WIFI a little bit expensive
nice and friendly staff...the great thing about the hotel is its location...it is at the city centre....so you are close to the railway station, most of the place of cultural interest.....overall a great value for money hotel
Good location, 5 minutes walking distance from train station, friendly staff, clean reasonably sized rooms, lovely reception and breakfasting area, good breakfast. We only stayed one night but found the hotel comfortable and Innsbruck a wonderful city, we will return.
The staff was knowledgeable and accommodating - and it was so refreshing to be greeted with a smile. The hotel is located within walking distance of Innsbruck's main attractions.
All the facilities and services are between decent to very good. No silly poshness and frill. Friendly and helpful staff. Given the price, this is an excellent deal.
breakfast is nice, good quality no AC (and it can get hot) , furniture is notably cheap and patched, more like acollege dorm than a hotel. (at least my room). No Wifi, and the modem was no installed in the room so i had to wait in the morning to access the reception (not staffed at night)
Staff were very friendly and helpful at all times. Breakfat was good and wholesome. The hotel is in the heart of the town and close to the railway station which is for both local and intrastate trains as well as International trains.
Nice, small hotel located erally close to old town. You are right off the main street and one block away from the main train station. The stuff was super helpful. I had budget room which is jsut what you need when traveling solo. Even I arrived early, I was able to check into my room at 1100. Breakfast was pretty good for continental one.
The room was very comfortable and the staff were helpful.
Breakfast even not having a big variety of goods, has a very good quality. The beds were really confortable. The reception staff was not very client service oriented and sometimes hostile.
Very good restaurant - tasty food, good service, nice environment. Room was very clean. Staff very helpful. Although extremely clean, room is not really what i expected for a 4 stars hotel - furniture is very old, bed and cover very small, bath very small and very old looking. Very small TV with actually no English speaking channels, no fridge.
Good restaurant. Very kind and helpful staff (both reception, restaurant and cleaning). Staff speaks English. Free wireless internet with an allright download/upload rate: I had no problems with ordinary use of the internet including webcam video transmission. When using the wireless internet a lot for e.g. working in the hotel room, it is a little annoying that you have to sign in to the internet with a new username and password for every three hours. But the staff at the reception is very generous with the passwords, so you can get e.g. five new passwords at one visit at the reception in order not to have to go there every third hour.
Everything was expectable. no
good location, nice aptosphere.
it's closeness to the centre of the city Yes, the hotel was overpriced and the rooms are badly in need of renovation. Fair price for this hotel would be €50 per room per night!
Staff was friendly and helpful. The location was convenient for touring without the car. There was am;le parking available.
Good location, pleasant room, friendly, helpful staff. Nothing
Good location and easy to find the hotel. The only problem we had was the door built with the bath room was too old to be closed.
Its location near the train station. Staff was just doing the issuing and receiving of room keys.
The room, especially the bed was clean. Small reception area. Expensive breakfast buffet.
Well located, good access from the station and the transport system, good breakfast etc. Would have been nice to have a kettle in the room. The failure of the lift on our last night was disruptive. Although they had a second lift, it was not available for use unless arranged separately - most strange.
The location is excellent. Good services.
The hotel is located at the most convienent area which is within walking distance from the train station and also the excellent scenery facing the mountains. Very refreshing. None so far.
the price. Plus the use of free internet service It is very ugly building but good location next to station
close to the historic centre a very good breakfast room and bathroom were clean staff not friendly and not helpful
this hotel was in the best location for train travellers. Did not even need to leave the station to access the hotel. The internet was not only not free, but expensive.
This hotel is very convenient if you are traveling by train, as we were. It is literally attached to the train station, so you could get on and off the train without lugging your luggage through city streets. It is very convenient to public transportation as well. The staff spoke English and they were very helpful. Breakfast was not included in the price of our hotel, but was available--though a little pricey for the market. If not in a pinch, you would probably do better a one of the nearby cafes.
The location is great, the hotel is clean, simple but modern, staff friendly and helpful.
view from the room
It satisfies all basic requirements.
+ Good location. + No heavy traffic outside hotel. - the door between entrance hall and room corridor is closed and locked all the time (safety!). - The floor of my room was very dirty when I arrived (sand, hairs, rubbish) and it wasn't vacumized at all during my two-week stay. - The room cleaner was careless; the same waste I put into the garbage box I could find on the floor after room cleaning. - Rag rugs on my room floor vwere dirty and extremely dusty. - The balkon was dirty (chair, hand rail). The furniture were totally worn out. - My bed got broken during first week of my stay. - The bed sheets were worn out. - The pillow was a down pillow which shouldn't use at hotels for hygienic and allergy reasons. - The host looked out scruffy. - I can use that pension in future but I won't recommend that to anybody without telling first my experience.
location and staff. I booked a room with shared shower, but actually when I got there, there was just one left which got a shower as well, so the boss let me pay the same but have my own shower and toilet. lucky``
Good view of the mountain in the room which is spacious no
Very helpful desk clerk (son of owner) - very good English Two flights ups with no lift
a family run hostel/Inn... room is clean and location is amazing. Bathroom smells......................
Location between the railway station and the old town. The audibility was the weak side. Although it was quiet in the street, we had to listen to the tv of someone in the next room until 2 A.M.
It has very good location, close to railway station and the other sites. The room is fine, clean, spacious and has a lovely balcony. The price is a little bit high.
Value and cleanliness
The position in town is perfect, kindly staff, clean, proper for walking around town for visiting all important monument and shops as well. lack of break fast, very small parking place

When Arthur Koestler wrote Darkness at Noon in 1940, the events he was fictionalizing had just barely moved from the present tense into the past. The Moscow show trials of 1936–38, wherein Leon Trotsky and his associates were accused of assassination plots merely as a way to justify their murders, not only shocked the world, but shocked the Hungarian writer—who had been such a dedicated communist that he went to Berlin in 1933 and Spain during the Spanish Civil War to act as a spy. He saw the deep corruption of the communist movement, turned his back on the political philosophy, and began writing a scathing portrayal of a government that would execute the architects of the revolution's theoretical structure. By the end of 1940, the manuscript was completed, translated from the German, and published for an English-speaking audience. Now, the book resides securely in the canon.
I kept thinking about Darkness at Noon as I was reading Amy Waldman's debut novel, The Submission ($26; Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2011) but unfortunately I do not mean that as a compliment. There are problems with Darkness at Noon, problems that frequently plague the journalist who tries his or her hand at fiction. Koestler was able to transcend those flaws, through the ferocity of his writing and the moral struggle of a writer confronting his own mistakes. Waldman, a former journalist and co-chief of the New Delhi bureau for The New York Times, is ultimately sunk by them.
The story behind The Submission could have been ripped from the very headlines that Waldman used to write. A panel of judges selects a tasteful walled garden with trees both real and built out of rubble as the winner of the 9/11 memorial at the World Trade Center site—only for it to be revealed that the proposal was submitted by a young Muslim architect named Mohammad Khan. Controversy ensues. Some of the panel members attempt to distance themselves from the decision. The governor finds that pandering to the racist and the ignorant benefits her reelection campaign. Families of the victims take to the airwaves and to the streets to protest the "Islamic martyr paradise" being built at the site of the attack. Khan, a secular, American-born Muslim, finds himself questioning his identity, his religion, and his way of life.
Now, the problem of the journalist-novelist is a product of the fact that journalists deal primarily in information. For a writer in journalism mode, everything in the story services the information that the author believes he or she must convey to the reader. Characters can become stand-ins for the viewpoint they express, and the prose can be merely a method to spit out facts. The prison guards in Darkness at Noon parrot communist propaganda until they seem more like lifeless automatons than human beings. And in The Submission, Waldman's prose suffers under the weight of all of the facts and figures. In one particularly, although not uncharacteristically, clunky section, she tries to convey how ill-educated your average American is about the ways of the world by writing, "Eighty percent of Muslims were not Arab: this was one of those facts many learned and earnestly repeated in the wake of the attack, without knowing exactly what they were trying to say, or rather knowing that they were trying to say that not all Muslims were as problematic as the Arab ones, but not wanting to say exactly that." There are many such asides, as Waldman leads the reader into thinking what she wants them to think.
The greater problem of The Submission is that there is not a single character who feels genuine. Waldman's agenda would be easier to accept if there was someone in the novel who felt like a human being. Each character is playing a type, and that has little to do with believability or nuance. There is the immigrants' son, a secular Muslim out of touch with his roots. There is the sexy, all-American 9/11 widow, whom every man in the story is inexplicably in love with. There is the other 9/11 widow, the wife of an illegal immigrant working in the buildings as a janitor, who is innocent and pure and good. There is the brother of the 9/11 victim, not well educated and prone to fits of rage and racist slander. There is the politician who has no moral backbone and is swayed only by polling numbers. I could go on.
And then there is the proposed memorial itself. Waldman, not being a designer or an architect, presents a simple design idea for the memorial—a walled garden. This design services the information Waldman wants to convey: Walled gardens appear in Islamic countries throughout time (something she is all too happy to let a character explain, as though giving a history lesson). Once someone in the book realizes that, the tension can explode, and the plot can move along. And yet the author appears to know that this is not a brilliant proposal. She combats any disbelief by the reader that this would ever be the 9/11 memorial by making this design the favorite of the widow, not any of the art experts on the panel. The widow gets her way by flirting and exploiting that incomprehensible love she inspires in men. No one in the book truly believes this is a memorial worth fighting for. The result of this bit of self-deprecation by the author—I'm just a writer, no need to pretend I'm coming up with the best proposal here—leaves readers with no one whose judgment they can trust, and no justification for why all this fuss is being made over such a mediocre design and such a mediocre person (Khan).
There are two real-life reference points that Waldman pulls from heavily for the story of The Submission. One was the controversy over the 2010 proposal to build a mosque and community center several blocks from the World Trade Center, in the former space of a building damaged during the attacks. Much of the rhetoric of the 9/11 victims' families in The Submission echoes the rhetoric aired primarily on Fox News and on talk radio during the heated protests. Both the real mosque and Waldman's fictional memorial become symbols of Islamic victory in the eyes of the protesters, as if the ground was razed in the attacks specifically to build a monument to Islamic strength to spite the American infidels. And in both cases, the attacks on the proposed structures were fueled by conservative media, as it became clear that stoking the fury of the public through misinformation and outright fabrication is good for ratings and good for business.
The other reference point is the 1981 selection of Maya Lin's design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Lin was condemned by many of the families of fallen soldiers simply for her Asian background, despite the fact that she was of Chinese heritage (and not of Vietnamese). Her struggle after the revelation of her identity, including her testimony in front of the United States Commission of Fine Arts, is merely rewritten into Waldman's plot line. Khan's design is selected by the jury in the same way that Lin's was, and both are pressured to withdraw their proposals to keep the peace. And, should you miss the obvious similarities between the two designers, characters show up at various points in The Submission to state baldly how reminiscent all of this is to the Maya Lin controversy—starting on page 17, as a judge on the panel intones, "It's Maya Lin all over again. But worse."
Framing these issues inside a discussion about a memorial was a smart impulse, even if it was poorly executed. They are weighty things, memorials. They are there to give a sense of permanence to the ephemeral, a stony reminder of lives that ended too quickly. Literature based on historical events can act in the same way, from the poets of World War I to modern day 9/11 fiction. But ultimately, where the memorial is reductive—distilling complexity down to an allegorical statement of This Happened, and It Happened Here—novels should be expansive. They should reinstall the humanity behind the facts and figures. Waldman, by sticking with the facts and figures of the case, fails to give the reader the flesh and blood of the events. There is no pathos here, just another stony reminder that the Twin Towers fell. The reason I reach for Darkness at Noon again and again has nothing to do with wanting to remember the show trials of Moscow. It works as a memorial to those men who fell precisely because it takes down their names from the plaque and turns them back into people. It also works as a grand examination of how men are felled by their ideals, and how unmanageable revolutions are after the shooting stops. But reading Waldman is like replaying talk shows from a few years back. Its scope is ultimately so very small. How we choose to remember the day of September 11, 2001, is a foundational issue. It is only a shame that Waldman was not up to building a solid structure on that foundation.

Support for Healthy Kitchen's expanded emergency nutrition services, 2012-2013
Although the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation became a national philanthropy in 1972 and has operated on a national scale since then, it also has continued funding a limited number of local institutions and projects in the New Brunswick area and throughout New Jersey. It does so in part to honor the legacy of its founder, and in part to recognize the special responsibilities to the communities and the state in which it is located.This grant support will help to continue to meet the increased demand to sustain food security and healthier eating for low-income households seeking emergency food assistance in the New Brunswick, N.J., area. Households that are "food insecure" are regularly forced to reduce the quality and variety of their meals due to scarcity. They may need to use emergency food sources or skip meals. And much of the food assistance in the emergency-food network (e.g., canned and highly processed foods) is inadequate nutritionally and contributes to the negative health outcomes that affect low-income people. As more people are suffering from obesity and other nutrition-related concerns, emergency-feeding initiatives are needed to support healthier eating. This grant will help alleviate hunger by expanding access to fresh, locally grown produce for low-income people; increasing awareness that fresh, whole foods are key to health and well being; and supporting the development of a stronger and more sustainable local food system. Health care providers will also increase their services on-site, including health screenings, and information and education about nutrition and health to promote healthier lifestyles.

Amount Awarded $68,890.00

How my book can help you
So you can recognize it in the bookstore, here's what the book looks like.
This may come as huge surprise to you but according to industry experts, most people - certainly more than half and thus it probably includes you - make costly mistakes in the mortgage process. This isn't like buying a VCR! It's much more complicated than that.
Second, every industry executive I know decries the same problem - the lack of experienced, trained, knowledgeable Loan Officers, even at more mature companies. Bottom line, you cannot count on getting much help from your lender.
Your success is going to be up to you.
The good news is that you can learn how to make good decisions - and avoid mistakes - by getting an education, which is why I wrote a 256 page book:
is the most highly praised "how to" mortgage book ever written. Check out what the EXPERTS have to say about my book.
Are you afraid you won't be able to understand my book? Well, there's a reason why eager homebuyers have made it the #1 best-selling mortgage book in the country. They all tell me how easy it is to read and how valuable it is. Check out what READERS have to say about my book
My entry at amazon.com has a number of customer reviews and 39 pages of the book that can be viewed on line.

ORV park idea......dont flame me!
This is something I have wondered about for years.....
I live down on the Mi/Oh line right off US23 exit 1 and right down the road from me are some BIG stone quarries and even more over the Oh line.The one near me has to be a mile long by 1/4- 1/2 mile wide and thats just one of them.They havent done anything with it in years and actually sold off some land across the street from it a few years ago to build a massive sports complex.I look down into these things and see all the roads,platos,walls,etc...and it looks like it would be an absolute blast to do some wheeling in there.I would imagine you could make some serious technical stuff down in there.
So what do they do with these quarries when they are done mining them?
Anyone ever work at one?
I wonder if anyone has ever concidered turning one into an off road park that might gernerate some revenue instead of just having a big hole in the ground doing nothing.

Halogen Upgrades
For my truck the fitments are 9005 and 9006
I have ordered from Hoen in the past and they are great however hoen does not make a standard wattage 9005 bulb
So what are my other options
right know I have looked at KYO and PIAA
the price difference is dramatic betweeb PIAA and KYO and if the KYO's will last I may buy them
any experencies with KYO's

Buy SilverStars if you're not going with HIDs.
We offer the Predator Xenix xenon colored halogen replacement bulbs if that's what you are looking for.
Otherwise we have full HID kits and full headlight replacement kits with projector based xenons if you want to change out your factory halogens.
get nokya Bulbs......they work for me.....in my fogs atleast
as long as they will last, i may get them
I had silver stars in my old car there good just pure white light... let me know if you came up with any other brands...
I am also looking for stock wattage only bulbs ... in the past i have burned out wires with cheap high wattage bulbs

Adama vs. Brewer added to CFC Fight Night
Recent world title challenger Osumanu Adama (20-3, 15 KOs) has been added to the March 16th "CFC Fight Night" card in the 10-round co-feature against Grady "Bad Boy" Brewer (30-14, 16 KOs), winner of The Contender II television reality series, for the vacant IBO middleweight title. "CFC Fight Night," presented by Chicago Fight Clubs Promotion, is being held on Saturday night, Mar. 16, kicking-off St. Patrick's Day weekend, at Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell.
Lowell, Massachusetts is the home of "Irish" Micky Ward and his brother, Dicky Eklund, whose lives were portrayed in the movie, "The Fighter." Eklund trains popular Lowell light heavyweight, "Irish" Joey McCreedy (13-6-2, 6 KOs), who will be fighting for the vacant UBF 175-pound title against an opponent to soon be announced in the 10-round main event.
Adama, a native of Ghana who fights out of Joliet, Illinois, is world ranked at #12 by the IBF and #4 by the IBO. In his last fight one year ago, Adama challenged IBF middleweight champion Daniel Geale (26-1) in Australia, losing a 12-round decision in Geale's backyard. Adama's most notable victories have been over former world champion Roman Karmazin (TKO9), Marcus Upshaw (TKO4), and Angel Hernandez (DEC12). Adama is promoted by Chicago Fight Clubs Promotion.
Back in 2006, Brewer defeated former world champion Steve Forbes by way of a 10-round decision in the championship bout to win The Contender II. During his career, Oklahoma-native Brewer has defeated top-level fighters such as current IBF junior middleweight champion Cornelius Bundrage, Fernando Guerrero, Giorbis Barthelemy, and Albert Onolunose.
Former WBA welterweight champion "Vicious" Vivian Harris (29-9-2, 19 KOs) returns from his brief retirement to fight Shakha Moore (11-18-3, 2 KOs), fighting out of Norwalk (CT), in an eight round bout.
Fighting in scheduled eight-round bouts are Quincy (MA) light heavyweight Chris Traietti (10-3, 6 KOs), an Iraq War veteran, vs. Tyler Seever (13-12-1, 11 KOs), of Saint Louis (MO); exciting Lawrence (MA) junior middleweight Eddie "Thunder" Caminero (7-7, 7 KOs) vs. Robert "RJ Black Gold" Stockwell (5-2-1, 4 KOs), of East Strausberg, Pennsylvania; plus two other Lawrence-based boxers, undefeated heavyweight Alexis Santos (7-0, 6 KOs), and lightweight Agustine Mauras (4-0-1, 3 KOs).
Also slated to fight on the undercard is Chicago heavyweight Boban Simic (1-0, 1 KO) vs. TBA, Dracut (MA) middleweight Bernie Ongewe (0-1) vs. Joshua "El Guerrero" Rivera (0-2), and pro-debuting Lowell bantamweight Mike Martin vs. Josh Crespo (0-2), of New Haven (CT).
All fights and fighters are subject to change.
Tickets (all reserved), priced at $42.00, $77.00 (floor) and $102.00 (ringside), are on sale and may be purchased online at the www.TsongasCenter.com; by phone at 866.722.8780; or at the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell Box Office.

For any anxious senior football player hoping for scholarships, the first few weeks of the season are critical.
And if there's any Hillsborough County senior who has made a case for attention, it's Tampa Catholic running back Hank McCloud.
Through three games this season, McCloud has been the Crusaders' top offensive weapon, rushing for 489 yards and 3 touchdowns. He's averaging 163 yards a game and 8.29 yards a carry.
The recruiting of top prospects Christian Green and Chaz Green helped McCloud get noticed in the spring, Tampa Catholic coach Bob Henriquez said, but McCloud is making a name for himself now.
He already owns an offer from Division I-AA Towson (Former Tampa Bay Storm quarterback John Kaleo has recruited the area heavily for the Tigers) and has drawn interest from several Ivy League schools. But now Division I programs like Rutgers and Northwestern have asked for film to take a closer look at McCloud.
"He's been doing everything for us this year," Henriquez said. "He's gained about 10 pounds, but with the way he's running you'd think he's put on 25 pounds. He's such a strong runner and he gets into the secondary so easily."

Confectionary Glaze
Decorating By onlyahobby Updated 8 Jul 2013 , 1:02pm by Sweet4SugarHigh
I have a bottle of confectionary glaze that I bought about 2 years ago to shine up a wooden floor for my cake scene. I didn't like the smell and was concerned until I read a post on here that says it supposed to smell like that. I really liked how it made the floor shine!! I never used it again but now I have a need to use it. Does anyone know if it goes bad? I don't see an expiration date on the bottle and I hate to buy a new one that I may not use again for another 2 years! Help....
Thank you.
I'm not sure that it really goes bad. .. I would contact the manufacturer and ask them directly. Once stated using confectioners glaze, I use it all the time. Mostly paint with it by adding to powdered colors and coloring my own dragees again with powdered colors for customization. I also use it to add shine to cake as you mentioned with the floor scene. Hope that helps :)

| From an Oregon State Perspective |
Win in Rose Bowl has OSU a step closer to return trip
One more down, and that's as far as Oregon State would take it Saturday.
Even after beating UCLA, 34-6, before an announced attendance of 83,478 in the Rose Bowl, the one thing that wasn't even being uttered by any of the Beavers was being back here on Jan. 1 as the Pac-10 representative to the Rose Bowl game itself ... more from the Register Guard | Game report
Riley, Beavers not yet smelling Roses
Before the Oregon State football team can begin counting down to a long-awaited return to the Rose Bowl on New Years Day, the Beavers realize they have a few more mountains to climb.
They cleared a sizable barrier Saturday night against UCLA, ending a five-game losing streak against the Bruins with a convincing 34-6 victory at the Rose Bowl ... more from the Mail Tribune.
Beavers bowl-eligible after big win over UCLA
The Rodgers brothers, Jacquizz and James, had another big day.
But top billing for Oregon State's 34-6 victory over UCLA Saturday at the Rose Bowl goes to the Beaver defense ... more from the Portland Tribune.
Beaver D, Quizz roll up UCLA
FLEXING THEIR DEFENSIVE muscles, and on the strength of record setting sensation RB Jacquizz Rodgers, Oregon State overcame key first half mistakes to win going away 34-6 over UCLA on Saturday to become bowl eligible. OSU's stop corps owned the line of scrimmage -- DT Stephen Paea and DE Victor Butler spent so much time in the UCLA backfield their mail will probably be delivered there next week.
And sometimes, stats don't lie. Jacquizz Rodgers went over the 1,000 yard mark on the season in the first half, over the 100-yard mark for the game near the end of the third quarter, (finishing unofficially with 144 hashes on the day) and then in the fourth quarter, Quizz broke the all-time Pac-10 season freshman rushing record (Darrin Nelson, Stanford, '77) ... more from BeaverFootball.com.
UCLA can't slow Rodgers
All week the UCLA football team told the area media that it planned to stop Oregon State running back Jacquizz Rodgers.
The Bruins figured if they contained the true freshman, the Beavers wouldn't be able to run the offense with backup quarterback Sean Canfield ... more from the Gazette Times | Sideline briefing
Beavers have that special feeling these days
Sean Canfield has been feeling something special happening around the Oregon State football team.
Where that leads the Beavers will be determined over the final three regular-season games ... more from the Gazette Times | Report card
Oregon State's who-would-have-believed-it march to its first Rose Bowl in 43 years came one step closer to reality Saturday as the Beavers shrugged off a lethargic first half to finally put UCLA out of its misery, 34-6.
No one screamed "We'll be back!" as players danced and high-fived their way into the locker room, but some were probably thinking it ... more from The Oregonian | Notes
Punter finds his footing after nearly
getting boot
Freshman walk-on punter Johnny Hekker took note this week when Oregon State coach Mike Riley said he was thinking about giving freshman Ryan Allen a shot at the job if Hekker's performance didn't improve.
Riley said Hekker had a lot of talent, but wasn't showing it in the games -- kicking poorly and with little hang time ... more from The Oregonian.
| From a UCLA Perspective |
Bruins are put into a corner by Oregon State
In the far corner of UCLA's locker room, running back Kahlil Bell stood straight up and spoke defiantly about keeping the team's solidarity intact.
A moment later, nearly catty-corner from Bell, fifth-year senior defensive tackle Brigham Harwell smiled, shook his head and vowed the same thing ... more from the Daily News.
By default, Craft still Bruins' starting QB
UCLA quarterback Ben Olson is back practicing, but offensive coordinator Norm Chow said the lefty isn't close to being physically ready to play.
And Bruins coach Rick Neuheisel intimated backup quarterback Chris Forcier's command of the offense remains subpar, meaning Kevin Craft is expected to remain the starter despite another poor performance in Saturday's 34-6 loss to Oregon State at the Rose Bowl ... more from the Daily News.
Neuheisel: No playing blame game
Rick Neuheisel grabbed a microphone and gave his traditional postgame pep talk to UCLA fans, the few that hadn't already exited the Rose Bowl.
The postgame locker-room speech the public didn't see was much more consequential ... more from the Daily News.
Oregon State roars past UCLA, 34-6
Maybe the UCLA football team should pity its rival from the other side of town.
OK, so Oregon State's 34-6 pounding of the Bruins at the Rose Bowl Saturday was a lot more lopsided than what it put on USC six weeks earlier in Corvallis, Ore. But in this case, the Beavers just told the Bruins what they already knew ... more from the OC Register.
Oregon State steps closer to the Rose
At the end of the Rose Bowl's west tunnel Saturday evening, Oregon State players and coaches were greeted by a sign draped over a stadium walkway.
"54 days until Rose Bowl." ... more from the OC Register.
Oregon State pulls away from UCLA
The talk in the UCLA locker room after Saturday's game wasn't so much about running pass routes or blitzing the quarterback.
It was about pointing fingers ... more from the LA Times.
For Bruins, essentials are barely there
Do you see improvement?
Have the 2008 UCLA football Bruins come to understand what it takes to run and pass and take advantage of slight cracks at opportunity? ... more form the LA Times.
Defense (almost) boxes in Rodgers
All week long, the UCLA defensive players talked about building a cage around Oregon State tailback Jacquizz Rodgers. They talked about stopping the big cutback runs that hurt USC earlier this season.
It almost worked ... more from the LA Times.
Bruins' Harwell not moping
The clog in the middle of UCLA's defensive line wouldn't be knocked for feeling that his comeback season has gone down the drain.
Brigham Harwell worked hard to make it back to the Bruins for a final season at defensive tackle, except his resiliency isn't being rewarded. With karma like this, who needs to put forth the energy? ... more from The Sun.
No easy fix, or bowl, for UCLA
If you were looking for beauty in Pasadena Saturday, you'd lock your eyes on the Rose Bowl's dazzling mountain backdrop.
If for some reason you were trying to avoid beauty, well, you'd have just kept your eyes on the Rose Bowl's home team ... more from the Press Enterprise.
UCLA's bowl hopes dwindle with loss
At one point in the first half, UCLA quarterback Kevin Craft took the snap and tried to hand off to tailback Kahlil Bell. But the two collided, and Craft was thrown for a loss on the broken play.
It was just another reminder that nine games into this season, the Bruins' offense still hasn't figured out how to get out of its own way ... more from The Press Enterprise.
Bruins' line a pushover again
As he took a seat in the media room and sipped on a bottle of water, it didn't take UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel very long to explain why his team is having trouble winning football games.
Yet again, the Bruins were manhandled along the offensive line, mustering 48 yards rushing and allowing three sacks against an Oregon State front that may be one of the best in the Pacific-10 Conference this season ... more from the Press Enterprise.

I have been doing that in my store and for NRA for over three years now. 10% off. The sign is on the door.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. A Virginia Beach pizza shop owner is showing his support for firearm rights by giving gun owners a 15 percent discount.
The discount is given to anyone who brings a gun or concealed handgun permit to All Around Pizzas and Deli.
Owner Jay Laze tells news media outlets that he'd planned on offering the discount for a limited time. But he says the response has been overwhelming, and he might make it permanent.
Since the discount began last Friday, Laze says 80 percent of his customers have brought guns into the pizza shop. He says one customer came in with an AK-47.
Laze is a gun owner and says he's always been a supporter of the right to carry firearms.
Gun owners get a discount at Virginia pizza shop

Jennifer Aniston Shows Off Her Cupping Marks
Jennifer Aniston shows off her strange cupping marks!
The 44 year old actress showed up to the premiere of her new movie Call Me Crazy wearing a little black dress but the photogs caught a glimpse of something strange. When she turned around the flash bulbs showed the remnants of a recent cupping treatment on her upper back. Apparently, she has been using cupping to stimulate circulation which is similar to acupuncture. She tried to disguise it with makeup but it was still visible.

Examples of weird in a Sentence
Cosmic strings are second only to black holes in the astrophysicist's pantheon of weird objects. They are narrow, ultradense filaments formed during a phase transition—called inflation—within the first microsecond of cosmic history. —Steve Nadis, Astronomy, October 2005
If you looked at them closely you realized they were carved with weird, pagan creatures, more like hobgoblins than men, half hidden among trees and leaves—here acanthus and there what looked like a palm tree. —Kate Atkinson, Case Histories, 2004
As an extended fictional device allegory is used mainly in didactic, satirical fables, such as Gulliver's Travels, Animal Farm and Erewhon. In these masterpieces a surface realism of presentation gives the fantastic events a kind of weird plausibility … —David Lodge, The Art of Fiction, 1992
My little brother acts weird sometimes.
I heard a weird noise.
That's weird—I put my book down right here just a few minutes ago and now it's gone.
Did You Know?
You may know today's word as a generalized term describing something unusual, but weird also has older meanings that are more specific. Weird derives from the Old English noun wyrd, essentially meaning "fate." By the 8th century, the plural wyrde had begun to appear in texts as a gloss for Parcae, the Latin name for the Fates—three goddesses who spun, measured, and cut the thread of life. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Scots authors employed werd or weird in the phrase "weird sisters" to refer to the Fates. William Shakespeare adopted this usage in Macbeth, in which the "weird sisters" are depicted as three witches. Subsequent adjectival use of weird grew out of a reinterpretation of the weird used by Shakespeare.

History for weird
The adjective weird came from an earlier noun weird, which meant "fate." In Scotland weird was used as an adjective in the phrase "the Weird Sisters," a name for the Fates, three goddesses who set human destinies. In his play Macbeth, William Shakespeare adapted this phrase for the eerie sisters who tell Macbeth his fate. So well-known was Shakespeare's usage that the original meaning of weird was forgotten and people assumed that it meant "strange, fantastic"—which accurately described the sisters in the play.

Subpanel to Shed - Check my plan
I'm planning to install a subpanel in a separate workshop, about 100 feet (as the wire flies) from my house's main 100A panel. I'll have a 15A 220 circuit for machinery, a 20A 110V circuit for lighting and outlets, and a 40A 220V breaker that feeds a rotary phase converter, powering a 3HP 3phase 220V jointer. The phase converter is rated for a 10HP total load, so it's to be wired to a 40A circuit, but I'm sure I'm not pulling anywhere it's full capacity since I'm only running the 3hp jointer. The plate on the jointer says it's full load current is 8A at 220V.
So I was planning to run H-H-N THWN #6 Cu in 1" conduit from a 50 breaker on the main panel to a 125A 8-space panel in the shed. That gives me less than 3% voltage drop over the 100' half circuit distance. I'll try to get a length of sch. 80 for the exposed part of the run, going into the shed. Otherwise it's sch. 40 (the only thing HD carries :rolleyes:)
I'll put a grounding rod outside the shed, with a #8 conductor to the ground bar in the box. I'm leaning towards bonding the ground and neutral bars in the subpanel box, and only running the three conductors to the main panel, since there are no other metallic connections to the shed, and I can't imagine any in the future (this is a semi-temporary workshop until I build a barn for a permanent one- or two-man woodworking shop).
How does this sound? Is the 50A feeder sufficient for those loads? (I don't know whether to calculate a 3-phase 220V motor plate with a 8A load rating differently than single-phase motor plates.) Is it ok to have the 110V receptacles and lighting on the same branch circuit? (the shed currently has all that wiring run, and fed by a roll of 12-2 romex that the previous owner ran across the yard and plugged into an outlet outside the house. :eek: So if I can leave that stuff wired, and tie it into the subpanel as a single circuit that would save a lot of time/money.
Thanks for your input.
The 50 amp circuit will work, but it doesn't allow much room for future growth.
I would need more information about your future plans before I could offer any recomendations. Such as:
1. What do you mean by this statement?
I also recommend placing the lighting and receptacles on different circuits. Let's say you are listening to a radio, have the lights on and you start to make a cut with a 110v table saw. When you trip the breaker, will you be able to see your way over to the breaker box to reset the breaker?
Thanks for the input guys.
All stationary machinery is 220, and will be on the 220V circuits. Only
things like routers, etc will be on the 110V circuits.
I'd certainly set up separate lighting and receptacle circuits if I were starting from scratch, but since this shed already has outlets and lighting wired as a single circuit, I'm considering leaving it that way. Would it pass code that way?
The "temporary" nature of the shed is as follows: It's a 16x16' shed that existed on the property when we bought the house. It's the only place for my machinery right now because the house doesn't have a garage or full basement. We will build a barn/garage/workshop type building in the next couple years, but for the time being I need a place to do some limited work. This shed will not be incorporated into the to-be-built barn. Nor will this electrical service be expanded to the barn. For that I will probably have an electrician add a second tap to my meter, because our meter is on a phone pole 200' from the house, and the barn will be built about 75 feet from the phone pole. It'll make much more sense to run the barn's service from the pole, rather than from the pole to the house and back to the barn. (Also it'll keep the substantial workshop load off of the house's panel).
Basically there's no future expansion that I can imagine for this shed. There's frankly no room even for the equipment I have in there now. The very likely scenario is that in 2 years or so (probably can be read as 4 years), the machinery will all move into a proper workshop, and the shed will become a garden and sports equipment storage shed, with a really overkill electrical service. :)
Thanks for the tip Silhanek. I'll see if I can get lucky. :) Heck maybe I've got 100' of sch 80 in the back of my truck right now without knowing it. ;)
Well, no luck on the Sch 80 at HD, but I'll try the local electrical supply.
I'm going to need to get a 50A double-pole Square D Trilliant breaker somewhere anyways. Hopefully they've got it at the electrical supply.
Do you guys generally find that wire is cheaper at HD or at an electrical supply?
Well, my local electrical supply house doesn't sell retail at all, so I'm stuck. I need some Sch 80 1" conduit and a Trilliant feeder breaker.
Anyone have advice on finding these?
Maybe try opening an account at your local supply house.
They want me to be a licensed spark.
Well, I'm still looking for an SDT250 breaker, but I'm going to feed the subpanel with a 2 pole/30A circuit that is no longer being used for an electric dryer (we put in gas).
So I dug the trench today, and laid half the conduit. Installed the panel and put in the 220V 20A machinery circuit.
One question for you folks.
What size neutral should I run for this project (assuming it's eventually a 50A service).
I'm running two black #6 hot conductors. The ground is bonded at the subpanel and connected to a grounding rod with #8 green jacket copper THWN.
Thanks, Nate

brother when release ios 6.1 unthethrd jailbreak
Here is a handy list of 6.x Cydia Apps, Mods and Teaks compatibility chart.
I donated $250 dollars for there hard work keep it up guys !
As long as this tool "Just works" I don't care. I re-restored my 4S (courtesy of RedSn0w) and neither Absinthe or RedSn0w will jailbreak it. Admittedly last time I did set my 4S up as a new device. So in short I hope the evad3rs take all the time in the world to produce the best most stable jailbreak yet.
I dont know why everyone is freaking out over this. I dont agree with the conclusion that we will not be seeing it tomorrow. I don't think that Planetbeings comment "Good full day of testing...Found some problems...but they are resolved" really translates as "hey we are way behind, we cannot finish this thing by Sunday, which we have been hinting at for awhile. We didn't realize how many combinations there were.....we forgot how to count."
No...I think they are smarter than that. I think they have had this release planned for a while. I think they know releasing it on the Super Bowl will result in getting more donations (everyone will be with friends, how do people other than us at this forum find out you can jailbreak your iPhone?.....By people like us, at social gatherings like the Super Bowl.
Yes I think they are that smart. Oh, and it just went up to 85% done...only 15% to go with the Superbowl fast approaching....I guess we will see!
Why is everyone fooking moaning about the release of the JB you've waited this long what's a little extra
We should be happy that they have and are gonna release a JB

Paramedic punished for giving away blanket
Jeff Gaglio said he was trying to keep an old man warm after he was displaced from his burning home
DETROIT — A Detroit paramedic says he was punished for giving a man a blanket while responding to a fire.
Jeff Gaglio said that because he did not have department permission to give away the blanket, he will face "EMS departmental charges," according to FOX 2.
Gaglio said he was on scene at a house fire where an elderly disabled man lived. After escorting him outside in only his underwear, he gave the man a blanket to keep him warm.
"I'm being punished for giving a man a blanket," he said. "Something that any man or woman would do in the City of Detroit, give a freezing man a blanket."
Even though the blankets were donated and not paid for by the department, chief of EMS Jerald James told FOX 2 that "we can't have an employee who feels that they have a right to give away state property, be it donated, be it a blanket… without prior approval."
It is unclear what Gaglio's punishment will be.

Show Detailed Description
This randomized phase III trial is studying cisplatin, radiation therapy, and tirapazamine to see how well they work compared to cisplatin and radiation therapy in treating patients with cervical cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and tirapazamine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Internal radiation uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Cisplatin and tirapazamine may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. It is not yet known whether giving cisplatin together with radiation therapy is more effective with or without tirapazamine in treating cervical cancer.

Beaver boys basketball hold off Newport, drops a close one to Olympia in Les Schwab Preview
By Christopher Duclos
The season is still beginning for Beavers basketball as they travelled to Bellevue on Friday, Dec. 7 to take on Newport. Both of Ballard high's boys and girls teams competed in what was a conference double header.
Girls took the court first only to suffer a loss to the Knights with a score of 54-43. Beverly Verduin, sibling of senior Johnny Verduin was the lone standout on the Ballard side, totaling 17 points. This brings the lady beavers to a season record of 1-3 (0-2 conference).
Following the lady beavers loss, the boys took the court. The boys fought to keep Newport from taking the lead. It was another big night for seniors Seth Berger and Johnny Verduin. Berger, a recent commit to the UMass minutemen, put up 20 points into the basket while Verduin scored 21. The game came down to the efficiency of defensive tactics, holding on to beat Newport in Bellevue.
Saturday night, the boys took a trip to Highline Community College in a matchup for the Les Schwab Preview. Fresh off Friday night's action against Newport, Ballard was outplayed in the first two quarters of regulation, being outscored 23-12. Life returned to the Ballard side as they came out and outscored Olympic 14-6 in the third quarter. In the end, the boys could not catch up to Olympia with an ending decision of 45-41.
The boys will travel to Woodinville tomorrow (12/11) at 7:30 p.m. to take on the Woodinville Falcons in another conference matchup. Then on Friday (12/14) at 8:00pm, powerhouse Garfield comes to Ballard to play in what could shake up to be one of the season's biggest matchups.
- Seth Berger and Johnny Verduin: A dynamic duo on the court. In the past 3 games, the boys have combine for a total of 93 points. The two have each produced double digits in each game so far.
- Latest Kingco Rankings (per kingcosports.wordpress.com) sites that Ballard high is ranked 3rd in Kingco 4A rankings behind Garfield and Bothell.

- Big Red's Rascals
- Book Big Red for an Event
- Big Red's Official Facebook Page
Big Red, Western Kentucky University's athletic mascot, was born in the fall of 1979 and celebrates its birthday on December 1st. Big Red can be best described as the Spirit of Western!
The huge, furry, lovable creature was originally designed and built by WKU student Ralph Carey, ('80 WKU graduate), of Cincinnati, and made its' debut during the Hilltoppers' 1979-80 basketball season. Big Red has become a big hit with fans of all ages throughout the state and the nation. Big Red's signature moves are the belly slide and belly shake.
The ultimate fan and supporter of all WKU's intercollegiate sports, Big Red won the "Key to Spirit" award, the highest honor presented to team mascots at the time, at the Universal Cheerleading Association competition in 1980, 1981 and again in 1983.
In the spring of 1990, Big Red reached the "Final Four" of the UCA's second annual national championship event in San Antonio, TX, taking third-place honors. Then, in the spring of 1996, Big Red reached the "Final Four" of ESPN SportZone's "Battle of the Mascots" in public balloting on the Internet.
Big Red was the centerpiece of ESPN's promotion of the 25,000th Sports Center, airing in August 2002. Since 2002, Big Red has also been selected into the Capital One All-America Mascot Team eight of the ten years of its existence. In 2005, Big Red placed second at the Universal Cheerleader Association's Summer Camp in Knoxville, TN. Also, in 2005 Big Red was voted the favorite mascot (of participating schools) at the NCAA Mascot Mania celebration in Indianapolis, IN.
Unveiled in '79, Big Red a WKU icon
University's fuzzy, red blob has garnered national, international attention from home on the Hill
By Chad Bishop, Bowling Green Daily News
Reprinted from Sept. 14, 2012
It has become more than a mascot.
Big Red, Western Kentucky University's amorphous, ambiguous, asexual and always lovable representative of the school's athletics, has spent more than 30 years rising to an unimaginable state of popularity and national - sometimes global - recognition.
What is it? Where did it come from? And what in the world is it doing? Such are the questions echoed by many who come into contact with the furry red specimen who delights crowds with dances and hijinks.
From appearances on "The Ellen Degeneres Show," "Deal or No Deal" and commercials for ESPN's "SportsCenter," to consistently making top 10 lists of all sorts, even to being involved in an international lawsuit - Big Red's legacy continues to grow.
Carey's creation
In the fall of 1979, Western Kentucky athletics was searching for a mascot.
Sure, there was the popular red towel adorning fans and uniforms and other paraphernalia, but WKU wanted something a little more personable.
"When they first said they were looking, I had no preconceived notions of anything," said Ralph Carey, Big Red's creator. "I knew that mascots were problematic - I had some awareness of other mascots. Part of the issue was branding and creating something unique and identifiable as a Western-only icon."
At a time when the San Diego Chicken - then pacing the stands during San Diego Padres games - was popular, Carey said he knew he couldn't create the Western Kentucky Chicken, but wanted something along the same lines.
It couldn't be an animal, and Carey said he wanted to stray as far away from a hillbilly stereotype as possible.
The answer would be found somewhere in between.
Soon, Carey had dreamed up a sketch of the future of Hilltopper athletics - a large, fuzzy, red blob he scribbled on a piece of paper while meeting with future school president Gary Ransdell, who was then working in the office of alumni relations.
"It started, actually, there was a drawing at one point in time, and I have it, of a bear in a sweater with a big `W' on the front of it," he laughed. "I got through with that drawing and said, `This is not where this thing needs to go.'
"I had some experience with some other characters in terms of their abilities to be animated by the wearer. That was also a key element because I was going to end up wearing this thing. I said, `How about this?' and scribbled a Big Red.
"(The committee) kind of looked sideways at it and said, `Why don't you work on that one?' "
Carey returned to the drawing board, refined the character while a deadline approached for its debut.
For an initial cost of about $300 - and made of 3-M foam, fake fur, plastic tubing and aluminum framing - Big Red was born.
On Dec. 1, 1979, in front of more than 10,000 fans inside E.A. Diddle Arena, the world was introduced to Big Red.
"That was something," said Gene Keady, the Tops' men's basketball coach at the time and current special assistant and adviser at St. John's. "We were really proud of that because we were trying to find something besides the red towels to bring some excitement to the crowd and some enthusiasm. Turned out Big Red was the answer.
"We worked at trying to originate something like that, so it was something that we wanted. It was not a surprise. But I guess we were kind of surprised at how well it worked."
Being inside
Noted for goofball antics, dancing and, allegedly, a bit of a kleptomania, those who perform as Big Red find the job no laughing matter.
Paula Davids, a marketing assistant for WKU who's known around campus as "Big Red's Mom," says prospective Big Reds go through an extensive tryout, usually in April.
Candidates are judged on personality, performance and overall appearance while inside the suit.
"Case in point," she said, "one incoming freshman who tried out for Big Red, he was a natural and you could tell the minute he put on the suit. It was just natural for him and you could not tell the difference between him and one of our current Big Reds."
After Carey birthed Big Red, Mark Greer took over for the next three years. He was the first Big Red at a WKU football game, wearing a handmade suit complete with a bicycle helmet and wires in the head piece.
"About 50 percent of the time, playing Big Red was keeping Big Red together," said Greer, who still serves on the committee to select Big Red. "It was almost like being a mechanic and a seamstress and a cartoon character all rolled into one. The thing was not washable, so you had to come up with a way to get the stink out of it, too."
Those who have been inside the suit are listed on the school's library archive website and Greer said he's still friends with quite a few of those who have donned the costume.
Davids doesn't lose contact with any of them.
"I keep in touch," she said. "In fact, this summer we struggled to have a Big Red available because everybody that was in town either had two jobs or a full-time job. Our previous Big Reds, I would find out there's a request in Louisville, and I called all the previous Big Reds in the Louisville area to see if any of them wanted to it. One mentioned to me, `Once a Big Red, always a Big Red.' "
Global reach
With popularity can come controversy.
At the turn of the century, Italy's Antonio Ricci came up with a creature named Gabibbo for Italian children's television.
The similarities between Gabibbo and Big Red are undeniable and Ricci was even quoted in a magazine article as saying he got the idea for Gabibbo from a photo of Big Red.
WKU filed a lawsuit that ultimately failed, and Gabibbo endures today.
The "Gabibbo Incident" is just a small case of how large Big Red's persona has become.
Davids said the mascot is booked nearly year-round, from the Capital One Mascot Challenge in Los Angeles to birthday parties, weddings and school functions.
"What really surprises me is the magnitude," Davis said. "Some people in foreign countries call in or write in asking for autographs, or a picture of Big Red and you're like, `I didn't even know they knew him.' "
The figure has won a litany of awards and honors, both regionally and nationally, and its popularity has grown exponentially year after year.
That's no surprise to Greer.
"It's a very funny suit. ... It can make expressions where most mascots have one stupid expression on their face at all times," he said. "Big Red can show emotion like no other mascot. Everybody can associate with it. The kids love him, too, because he's a great big Muppet to them. He appeals to all age groups."
Keady jokes that he invented the thing, but conceded he didn't expect it to grow as popular as it has become.
"I don't think anybody did, but I'm very happy to see it," he said.

i have a girlfriend, and i'm keeping here.
Skywalker Ranch.
Girls are icky, especially stupid ones. Plus I have my own boobies and they are 100 % real :P
So I 'spose I would pick the Ranch.
The RANCH!!!
If you can get into Skywalker Ranch you can get into anywhere...
I would go to the ranch, then sneak into the mansion and take the chance of going to jail
Have you seen my wife? Skywalker all the way. I have the Playmate already. Not bragging just proud. Plus ITS THE FRIGGIN RANCH!!!
Masion for sure...I could proboly trick Hef into signing it over.
.....But I'm not callin' him "Puffin" for anything.....


text: Sorry, I don't have answers to your questions. However, I suggest that you purchase a different firearm for CC. The 6'' barrel is going to make it difficult to conceal and probably uncomfortable. In addition, the small capacity will necessitate the carrying of extra ammo, which will mean added hassle, given the fact that speedloaders are round and bulky.
