Sheriff Bob Hummel, Jim Beard, and the boys at Davis auto parts, Slick Henderson and every kid remember Ron Eberall.
That was a time when men took responsibility for the growth of their children, their work and their town. If you want to know how great these men took their responsibility look at their children and forgive me for forgetting some. The Bergreens, Buller's, Prouty, Plummer, Hesler, Beeler, Eberall, Alexander, Bladine, Celler, and so many more Like Ross, Hanson, Dillon, Shummway, and look at the education we received in the 50's and 60's I would guess over 70% went on to military, trade school and college.
It all starts with men and women who take a part and responsibility in their communities.

Forums >Off the Beaten Path>Go Run
My wife babysits a little girl who just turned two. Her single mother works long days (not by choice). The kid watched me go on a run a few times, then one day walked up to me and said "go run". She wanted to go running. We have run to the blackberry patch behind the backyard, to the apple tree in the backyard, and once ran all the way around the house.
Nothing like starting them young.
Cool Jump Suit
Very nice! My kids have started running. They are a bit older (5 & 7), but they enjoy it. Especially the younger one. The 7 year old rides a bike, she prefers that now. Wow though, 2 years old!! I bet she wins her age group, huh.
Free, like a river ragingStrong, as the wind I'm facing.Chasing dreams and racing father time.
My little one is almost 3 and she loves to "Run like Mommy." She even did a kids 1 mile fun run last month. Granted, we sprinted/ walked and stopped to throw some rocks along the way but she made it and was proud of herself! We're all inspiring the next generation of obsessive runners!
I don't half-ass anything

Pretorius, Joelien (Routledge, 2011)[more][less]
Abstract: The United States India nuclear agreement, announced in 2005, was a first step in the process to normalise India's international nuclear relations despite the fact that India is not a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Africa is largely seen as a uranium supplier rather than nuclear power producer in the world nuclear order. The position that African states take towards Africa India nuclear cooperation, uranium supply to India in particular, is informed by two seemingly contrasting factors, namely economic and political pragmatism on the one hand, and non-proliferation imperatives and norms on the other. The African Nuclear Weapons Free Zone Treaty, also referred to as the Pelindaba Treaty, prohibits uranium and nuclear-related exports to states without comprehensive safeguards of their nuclear facilities, but the case of India is still open for interpretation. Africa and India's shared post-colonial consciousness, manifesting in their historical ties, membership of the Non-Aligned Movement and South South cooperation, is often regarded as another factor facilitating Africa India nuclear relations. A more critical view points to the different notions of post-coloniality in Africa and India, resulting in different approaches to nuclear non-proliferation that constrain their nuclear relations.

LOYOLA MAROON VOL. XLVI Loyola University, New Orleans, La., 701 18, Friday, February 6, 1970 No. 16 Rev. Jolley hits actions of senators In an open letter to Dennis Rousseau, Chairman of the University Senate, The Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley S.J., last Friday criticized the Senate's official conduct in its metting of January 1 5. At that inetting the Senate voted to censure the Rev. Thomas H. Clancy S.j., vice president for academic affairs and asked the Board of Directors to remove Dr. Frank Crabtree as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Additionally, the Senate requested that the Board of Directors accept the Senate's Document of Faculty Rights and Responsibilities as the ranking document where it conflicted with Father Clancy's Faculty Handbook. In his letter, Father Jolley said that by appealing directly to the Board of Directors the Senate had setablished "a most dangerous precedent which impaors my authority" and that their actions implied that he was unwilling to hear their grievances. Father Jolley's letter stated that while he was "seriously concerned about many things that went on at the emergency metting of the Senate," he was not rejecting the idea of faculty participation and "faculty-ad ministration-student dialogue." In order to strengthen the Election needed The Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley S. J., has announced that he will wait until a permanent vice president for academic affairs is named before a permanent successor to Dr. Frank Crabtree can be chosen as dean of A&S. What this move seems to indicate is that the new vice president will appoint the new dean. The situation was the same a year ago on Mardi Gras Monday when, for all practical purposes, Dr. Crabtree was chosen by the Rev. Thomas Clancy S.J., vice president for academic affairs, and then "ratified" at a hastily called meeting of the A&S faculty. The University Senate representing the entire faculty recently became tired of such action and said so in the form of motions against both Dr. Crabtree and Father Clancy. It is highly unlikely that members of the Senate, members of the faculty in general or students wish a recurrence of the events of the past few weeks. The Maroon believes that the next dean of the College of Arts and Sciences should be appointed by the students and faculty of that college. The authority should come from the students to the administration and not vice versa as has been the case in the past. We believe that a general election would give the students too much of a vote since there are about 13 times as many students as faculty members in A&S. However, we do feel that equal representation of both student and faculty is desirable. The Student Council, as the present representative body of the students, should appoint three students to meet with a like number of appointees from the faculty of A&S, as chosen by the Senate. ■ This body would then interview prospective candidates for the position of dean and select the person An editorial that could lead the college as it should be led in their eyes. Once this body had decided upon the person for the job, we would ask that Father Jolley approve the appointment just as he had approved the appointment when it was made by the vice president. In other words, the decision of the student-faculty body would be final, save for a referendum vote by the students and faculty of A&S that would override the decision of the six-member body. The relatively new idea that students may have something to contribute to the decision-making process of a university may be upsetting to some administrators simply because it is relatively new. However, we believe that students have exhibited on numerous occassions this year they are capable of helping the university. lo date, however, the students' role has been only an advisory one. We see decision-making in the university community as part of the educational process. We believe as Loyola enters its present state of change the authority should be coming more and more from the bottom up. A student was on the Search Committee that named the candidates for the vice presidency more students should have been included then and more student authority should be given or taken now. The naming of the A&S dean is an ideal situation for students to have a hand in administering the university. Other colleges of the university should have the same perogative when a new dean is required. But this is when the precedent must be set. A dean who comes from the students and faculty to the administration should better be able to speak to the administration from the student-faculty point of view, and not to the students and faculty from the administration point of view, as has been the case previously. SC names more students to search committee Acting dean addresses group The" Student ~Touncir this week nominated nine students to sit on university boards and committees, including the recently revamped search committee for a new academic vice president. At the meeting, the Rev. Joseph Tetlow, S.J., newly appointed dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, made his first official statement before students, praising the work of the Council and urging it to "generate fresh ideas." He said he felt that Council's request that the search committee be expanded to give students an equal voice with faculty and administrative committeemen was an example of the fresh thinking to which he was referring. Last week the Council requested that the committee, which had been composed of three faculty, three administrators and a single student be restructured with the addition of two j more students. Tuesday, Council president Bill Guste announced that the Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J., had agreed to the Council request and would pick the two additional students from a list of four nominees submitted by the Council. Voting by secret ballot, the Council nominated Dan Sheehan, BA senior, Louis Biondolillo of the Evening Division, F.dgar Chase, BA junior and Ann Donnelly, A&S junior. 0 The Council also nominated two students to the Board of Appeals and three to the Board Communications. The nominees for the appeals board were Ralph Adamo, A&S senior, and Clem Kennington, a law student and not a member of the Council. The Council also nominated Danny Hynes, A&S sophomore, Pat O'Keefe, A&S sophomore, and Joe Meng, A&S freshman for membership on the Board of Communications. COUNCIL PRAISED In his talk before the Council, Father Tetlow addressed the group as "the oldest democratic institution within the university," having a history "full of honor." "We are in the course of becoming a notable university," he said, "but we lack a generation of fresh ideas from the bottom up." While praising several members of the University administration, Father Tetlow cautioned the Council that without student help any administration's efforts are hampered. He urged to the group "to pressure deans with fresh ideas and innovations." "I would ask you to allay suspicions that you are a button and peanuts group," he said. "You are not." Father Tetlow also indicated that he intended to meet from time to time with the A&S representatives of the Council "to keep information and commitments coming into the faculty." Father Tetlow sees need to restate aims of A&S By MIKE LANGE (Maroon Kditor) The Rev. Joseph Tetlow, S.J.. led a peace movement earlier this year at Loyola. Now, as the newly appointed acting dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, he "must search for peace agaiir. The Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J., appointed Father Tetlow to the position last Friday after accepting Dr. Frank Crabtree's resignation from the deanship. He has wasted little time in his effort to redirect A&S. He has called a Curriculum Committee meeting for today and has said that he hopes to start carrying out some of the programs initiated by Dr. Crabtree. He said the agenda of this meeting will include the report of the sub committee of the core curriculum, plus a discussion of the religious studies, university fellows, honors and American studies programs. Father Tetlow, an assistant professor of history, said the progress made by the A&S faculty in these areas indicates that the colleges' faculty is capable of working together. He sees this as a possible solution to the negative attitude which he seems to think is present in A&S currently. "Certainly something has to be done to give the faculty of A&S some purpose other than destructive purposes," he said. He was referring to the action taken by the University Senate, the official representative body of the faculty, at a Jan. 15 meeting. There were motions by faculty members from A&S at that meeting to have Dr. Crabtree removed from office and to condemn "procedural misusage" by the Rev. Thomas Clancy, S.J., vice president for academic affairs. RESTATE POSITIVE AIMS "What that meeting was called for. . .was to tear down that was its stated purpose." Father Tetlow said. "1 don't see how a university can run for long on merely negative purposes. "I'm not leveling criticism at anybody, I'm not saying that they should not have done what they did or anything. All I'm saying is that right now A&S does not feel any real, positive purpose, it seeems to me. "Maybe the college does, " he continued. "I feel that we have to restate the positive aims we have. . . .We have been moving in an excellent way. We have set up one program already this year, the other one has already been accepted by the Curriculum Committee, and the cooperation on both was very good. The cooperation among the faculty in general was very good." He cited interest thai has been shown in the religious studies program, which the Rev. Patrick Phillips, S.J., established, the American studies program, the honors program and the university fellows program. "We already have recruited quite a number of people for next year," Father Tetlow said, "and many of them seeem quite exciting. So there is a tone to A&S which has been under a cloud because of the action that has been taken (by the Senate)." "Yes, there is a problem," he said, "but I think the problem can be solved. All we have to do is remind ourselves of what we are really doing. I don't think it's going to be any trouble." NOR EDITORSHIP Father Tetlow, who was appointed interim editor of the New Orleans Review in December, said he plans to continue in that position and that he sees no major problems. "I've talked with Mr. (Ralph 1.1 Bell (NOR Associated editor) and Dr. (John W.) Corrington. and from my lirsl day as editor we have worked together very closely. In fact Mr. Bell and I talked before I accepted the position (as editor) and we both lelt very strongly that there would have to be real cooperation. And I felt that Dr. Corrington as editor-at-large should be much in on the counsel of how the magazine is going. These men are editors-Mr. Leonard White is the art editor and we have often asked him to the office to talk about we're doing. The magazine is really being run by the editors," he said. TOO EARLY TO SAY' Father Tetlow said it was "too early to say" whether he would like to continue as dean or not. "It depends on what I can do, how effective I am, how much the ideas I have and the convictions I feel find resonance in the faculty. "My conception of the deanship is that dean has to always know what the faculty as a whole is thinking or what determinations it's coming to, and what its convictions are," he said. He added that there are not many convictions held in common and that most lie under the surface. He cited interdisciplinary courses as an example of a progressive idea that had been initiated but that had not been brought to light as such. In his eyes, it would be the job of a dean to bring such things to light. "His (the dean's) funtion, it seems to me is a service function. And I think that I have to find out whether what I think about liberal education my convictions-find resonance in the faculty or, to put it another way, whether I can resonate their ideas and pull things along. If I can't, well then 1 don't want to go on. "There are several other things that I am very interested in, and would be very happy to continue doing. 1 have no ambition for office. No ambition for office. I assert that flatly." He said he did not know whether it would be feasible to have the next dean of A&S elected by the students and faculty of that college, but added "I was a little bit closer to certainity before the action of the Senate. VICE PRESIDENCY Father Tetlow would not say whether or not he had been interviewed by the Search Committee, which has been commissioned by Father Jolley to find a permanent vice president for academic affairs to replace Father Clancy. "I have no more ambition for office than I have for teaching nine hours of English or history and writing or editing the Review. I have no ambitions for office," he reiterated. "If it is decided by the corporation that 1 would be useful in a position and I decided that I would be useful, then I will take it as 1 did this. But otherwise not," he said. FATHER JOSEPH TETLOW Rev. Tetlow selected as acting dean By MIKE LANGE and GARY ATKINS (Maroon Kditor) (Maroon Associate Editor) The Rev. Joseph Tetlow, S. J., was appointed dean of the College of Arts and Sciences last week — without the prior approval of the academic vice president. Though the academic vice president usually appoints deans, Father Tetlow was appointed by the university president while the Rev. Thomas H. Clancy, S.J., vice president for academic affairs, was out of tOwn. The Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J., said he was exercising his executive authority "in an extraordinary way" when he accepted the resignation of Dr. Frank Crabtree and appointed Father Tetlow to the deanship. Father Clancy, who had left town only a few hours before Father Jolley made the appointment, said the action was taken without his knowledge. Father Clancy had refused to accept Dr. Crabtree's resignation three days earlier. Father Jolley said in an interview that it was within his power to appoint the dean though it was not the usual procedure for him to do so. He said that last week was the first time that Dr. Crabtree's offer to resign had gotten directly to him,though he knew of Dr. Crabtree's offer to Father Clancy to resign. Father Jolley said he had backed Father Clancy's decision not to accept Dr. Crabtree's earlier resignation. However, Thursday, Jan. 29, Father Jolley accepted the resignation naming Father Tetlow acting dean. RESIGNATION ACCEPTED In announcing his acceptance of Dr. Crabtree's resignation, Father Jolley , said, "beginning some months ago, Dr. Crabtree has offered his resignation several times for personal reasons concerning his health and the welfare of his family. It was not accepted. These personal reasons for resigning have become more urgent in the recent disorders caused by the actions of some members of the University Senate. I have, myself, therefore, seen fit to accept his resignation. I do so with great reluctance." The Senate, three weeks ago, asked the university Board of Directors to remove Dr. Crabtree from office for what it said were violations of academic procedure. Asked why he had decided to accept Dr. Crabtree's resignation Thursday and not before, Father Jolley said, "The words (in the statement) speak for themselves." Father Clancy said he had been consulted about the matter before Father Jolley acted, but that the appointment of Father Tetlow when it was finally made, was made without his knowledge. K Father Clancy would not say if, after consultation, he had agreed to Father Tetlow's appointment. "If I'd gone along," he said, "I'd have signed the letter." The letter, signed by Father Jolley, was released early last Friday morning. Father Clancy said he arrived back j( in town Sunday and had not discussed tha matter fully with the president yet. Asked if he had supported the action now that it had been taken, Father Clancy said, "I can't say that until I talk with Father Jolley." Asked about how Father Jolley's action affected his own position and power as academic vice president, Father Clancy said only that he "will make a statement at an appropriate time after I talk to Father Jolley." Father Jolley said in an interview Tuesday he appointed Father Tetlow "because I thought he was the best man for the job as acting dean." He said he did not chose Dr. John Mosier, who has been assistant dean of A&S since September, because, as he put it, "I chose Father Tetlow." Father Tetlow shall remain in office until Father Jolley appoints the permanent academic vice president, according to the statement. He said he saw no particular significance in the fact that a Jesuit was appointed to fill a vacancy in the administration left by a layman.

Made this several times, 1 of our favorites.
I am a good cook and always looking for good recipes. This is not a good recipe. Sorry. The end result has good flavor but the finished food is mushy. It is not worthwhile to redo this recipe as it would just become a brand new recipe. Bottom line: Crisp cook the potatoes then add the sauce, then reheat quickly. I would recommend finding another recipe as this one is a fail to me.
My family loved this meal. I did not have any thyme so I replaced it with basil and I omitted the spinach altogether. Turned out perfectly, perfect balance of flavor!
Next time I would add a touch of olive oil to the potatoes and broil them for a few minutes to make them crispy before adding them to the mixture and possibly use a little less kielbasa. Also, I reduced the brown sugar to 1 Tablespoon. Otherwise it was a good recipe, fairly easy to put together, and enjoyed by all.
Loved this recipe will definitely be using it again!!!!

Q: How did the iphone get in there?
A: They put together the iPhone with tweezers inside of the bottle.
Q: If you had an iPhone, why would you send in a bottle when you could just call for help?
A: Due to the magnetism of the island, only the GPS works. :P
Q: Do you think somebody will find it before the battery dies?
A: I hope so. Maybe they would have more luck if instead of vodka was a bottle of rum!

By Michael Futch Staff writer
There are no job cuts planned for the DuPont Fayetteville Works site off N.C. 87, a company spokesman said Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the plant's parent, DuPont Co., announced it will eliminate 1,500 jobs and take other steps to increase competitiveness following weak demand for a key industrial pigment, titanium dioxide.
The whitening pigment, used in products ranging from paint to toothpaste, is not produced by Fayetteville Works.
"The corporate announcement is primarily focused on the company's corporate and functional organizations," spokesman Terry Gooding said. Those jobs would include areas such as information technology and marketing and sales, which are outside of operations or manufacturing.
About 460 DuPont employees work at the Fayetteville Works site, along with 300 to 400 contractors. Gooding said the plant's workers should not be concerned about losing their positions.
The plant produces a variety of products including Tedlar, a polyvinyl fluoride film used in the protective sheet on the back of most solar panels because of its durability and weather resistance.
In its announcement, DuPont named uncertainty in the solar panel market, which led to a sharp drop in third-quarter earnings, as a factor in the decision to trim jobs.
"We do make Tedlar there," Gooding said of the Fayetteville site. "The corporate announcement does not impact that. The Fayetteville Works site is not announcing work reductions as part of that announcement."
The site is spread over 350 acres along the Cumberland-Bladen county line.
DuPont, based in Wilmington, Del., reported net income of $10 million, or a penny per share, compared with $452 million, or 48 cents per share, for the same period last year, The Associated Press reported.

Seasons 52 - Plano
Online Reservations
I love Seasons 52. The staff is great, the ambiance can't be beat. The food is always excellent. It's a bit pricey, but love going there! I've been there for lunch and dinner--both were excellent!
This upscale restaurant is known for changing the menu with each season and the entrees are calorie conscious, which makes it very unique. The menu is very intriguing and prices are not over the top. The piano bar is large with additional booth seating for those that don't want to sit at the bar. The entertainment is pleasing and can be heard throughout the restaurant, not just at the bar. Very, very appealing atmosphere. The servers are knowledgeable and professional, yet friendly. Outstanding dining experience!
We were able to make a same day reservation at Plano Seasons 52. The valet service was quick and efficient on both ends. We were seated immediately with menus and our server quickly identified herself. There were plenty of wine choices with good descriptions. Our party of three tried a multitude of items, including the steak and blue cheese flatbread, the chili, the Thai shrimp soup and a small spinach salad. All were very good, and if can only pick one, go for the flatbread. Dinner was the filet, the half chicken and the blackened mahi. Each was served quickly, fresh, and hot. They were very flavorful and did not disappoint, and portion sizes were just right. This is a great restaurant for excellent food without a ton of added calories.
The food was incredible, and our waiter, Corey, was excellent.....
My husband and I celebrated our 13th anniversary at Seasons 52. They seated us promptly and had a nice card on our table for our Anniversary. We enjoyed the wine, flatbread, shrimp pasta, lamb, and desserts on the house! After dinner we enjoyed a drink at the piano bar and she played our favorite songs for us. Perfect anniversary celebration at Seasons 52!
Celebrated our anniversary. The food is always Fabulous and Delicious! We enjoy the wine flight special, where you can try a flight of wine, your choice of a flat bread, and a full glass of your favorite of the 3 wine selections!! For dinner, I had the salmon salad, which is always wonderful. My husband had the lamb chops, which were very tender! Loved the dessert selections too!! Highly recommend Seasons 52!!
Outstanding, personalized service with an excellent menu. Parking is a hassle unless using the valet service.
Love this place! Great food, great atmosphere. Awesome for calorie counters!
My husband surprised me by taking me to S52 a few nights ago for a nice weekday dinner. The food was amazing as always. If you haven't had the quail, I highly recommend it. We've been a few times since the fall menu came out and the quail is one of my faves. Also, the pecan pie desert shot is AMAZING. Since first trying it, I haven't been able to eat here without having it.
Excellent food and service. Very nice wine list. Like the idea of the chef specials changing weekly.
Highly recommend this restaurant - went to Plano location - food really good, waitstaff very attentive, not too noisy,
Went there for a romantic birthday celebration. Our waiter was excellent he made wonderful wine suggestions as well as entree items. Additionally, he ensured the presentation of each food item coincided with our timing making it a memorable occasion.
We went to Seasons 52 because it was recommended for healthy vegeterian options on a website. We were celebrating our 25th anniversary and I had mentioned that in my reservation. From start (valet service) to finish (No charge for All the Dessert we ate) it was a pleasant experience. The meal was delectable and a class of its own. We enjoyed every morsel specially because each plate was less or equal to 475 calories. The Ambiance was perfect for a special evening. The only reason I have 4 stars for service is because our server Greg kept on disappearing for long periods and I am not sure if it was because he wanted to give us privacy or because he was serving more than a few tables.
My two God-daughters were in town so we met at Seasons 52 ... they LOVED it! Michael and Jason are fantastic waitstaff; very attentive and patient. The food was wonderful especially dessert! They have the best coffee, too. Look forward to our next visit!
Celebrated a couple of birthdays with a group and all the food was presented well and tasted great. High level of service and prices to match.
I took my mom here for her birthday as I had eaten there once before and knew she would like. She couldn't quit making glowing comments about the service, the food and the atmosphere. I had even mentioned it was her birthday when I made the reservation and they left her a personally written and signed note wishing her a happy birthday. Nice touch!!
The food is always fresh and seasonal but I usually choose the trout every time! And love the desserts...perfect size and always yummy. So good this time, we each had two of them!
Excellent and high end healthy cuisine. Not a rushed dinner like many American restaurants. Good pace. We had a group of friends we needed to visit with and this was superior for that. Great dining experience.
The menu is refreshed often and servings are satisfying without being loaded with calories. Normally, after having a delicious meal with wine, I would skip dessert, Not at Seasons 52. Desserts are deliciously satisfying and low in calories. We have never been disappointed with the wine selection nor the service. The servers are very knowledgable about the wine and the menu, Always helpful and gracious.
My husband & I visited Seasons 52 for our anniversary. When I booked the reservation through Open Table, I noted that we would be celebrating our anniversary. They definitely read this and took it to heart. They not only verbally wished up a happy anniversary but had a card on our table as well as 2 glasses of champagne. Our waiter, Garrett, was very attentive and knowledgeable. He provided just the right amount of service for us. Overall, we had a great dinner and a great time.
We love to eat at Seasons 52 because they change up the menu according to the season. The shrimp chipotle flat bread was delicious. Love how thin it is and it is so good. My husband had the Mahi Mahi and it was so flaky and good. I had the quail and it was fabulous! I would order that again. It was very delicate and had such a great flavor with the risotto. Of course, you can't go wrong with the desserts. They have something for everyone and it is just the right amount. Will definitely keep going back to Seasons 52. Service was also very good.
I chose Seasons 52 based on the concept of eating seasonal foods, smaller plates, and lower calorie selections. Most "lower calorie" options leave you with a salad or grilled chicken so their menu online excited me. I indicated it was for a birthday and that there was a diary allergy when I made the reservation. We got there and waiting at the table was a hand written birthday card which was a very nice touch. They also had a special dairy free menu to accommodate the allergy! The food was amazing, affordable and beyond expectations for variety, taste, presentation. The staff was attentive, friendly. I couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be back.
Took the opportunity to show our visiting in-laws what Seasons 52 has to offer, and it did not disappoint. The service was fantastic, our server was very knowledgeable, and the food was wonderful, as usual. Each of the four of us ordered something different from the menu - fish, beef, dinner salad - and all were delighted with their plates - the presentation and flavor of each one.
We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The food was excellent. Everything was fresh and the timing of the service was great too.
Everything about Seasons was wonderful. Our server Ryan was helpful and attentive and the food was amazing!!
We visited Seasons 52 for a third time and again were reminded how great it is! The food was amazing! Everything we tried was done perfectly! The service was wonderful as well!
My family's ining experience Thanksgiving was very enjoyable. The restaurant was quiet, which enable the family to converse without raising their voices. The service was outstanding.
This restaurant was very good all around. The food was good. I had the tamales. The tamales were on the small side but not bad. We had 6 people in my party and every one was happy with the food and service. The service was good; they kept our drinks full and the chips and salsa coming. I would definitely come back.
Really enjoyed this restaurant. Will definitely go again. Want to bring friends the next time we go.
Beautiful space, amazing service, good food - there is only so much you can do on an entree that is under 500 calories. It was very good for what it was!
We loved Meg our server, one of the best!!! Food was very good, timely, warm, delicious, and the ambiance enjoyable. It was a great Thanksgiving with family.
We went for Thanksgiving, and were impressed, as usual. We did not have the traditional Thanksgiving fare. I had salmon and my husband had pork. Both were outstanding. Love this place!
This was our first time doing Thanksgiving dinner at Seasons 52 and it was excellent. Same high quality food and service with a little holiday flair. Will definitely go back for Thanksgiving next year if they do this again.
We dined at Seasons 52 for Thanksgiving dinner. Although the restaurant was busy, the service was good. The prix fixe Thanksgiving dinner was excellent and a good value. It was our first visit to Seasons 52 but we do plan to return in the future.
We wanted to come to eat here on thanksgiving because of the healthier food choices, we were not disappointed all of us had the thanksgiving special and it was really good. Everyone from the valet on we're friendly and provided excellent service, I would highly recommend to anyone to try this place . We will be back
Having a quiet dining experience is a HUGE thing for us. Noise at other restaurants keeps us from going there. Reasonably priced, low calorie diet while having great taste and elegant presentation keeps us coming back. Not having to wait past our reservation time is nice (but this factor is not nearly as important as the first two items. Friendly server and prompt service certainly enhances the experience. A wine list and menu that are concise i.e. not pages and pages to read is also very nice. Muted color scheme and wood tones make it a relaxing experience. We go out to eat to calm down, not get worked up.
Suddenly empty nesters, my sister and I decided to not cook this year and went to Seasons 52 at the Shops at Legacy. Nick, our server, was great at suggestions. At one point, we said "surprise us" and he delivered a great wine flight with a flatbread that had mushrooms, goat cheese, arugula, etc... The tomato mozzarella salad was awesome - we split it and it was plenty for us both. My sister had the Cedar-plank salmon and I had the sea scallops - both were recommendations by Nick. He was spot on. We finished with Bailey's coffees and two mini-desserts: key lime pie and chocolate peanut butter crunch. Yum. We were also fortunate to be entertained by pianist-vocalist, Michael Bogle. We were not rushed at all. Memorable holiday meal.
Our server was Mina, who was awesome! She made great recommendations and was so knowledgeable about wines and menu. We were celebrating my in-laws' 45th anniversary. They're from Houston and we had gone there once before and had a fantastic experience. They requested to dine there again. The mussels were fabulous!
We came with diabetic brother and his very picky wife. Love the fact that the food is so tasty, healthy and substitutions are never an issue. The wine was perfect. Two dishes were slightly undercooked but quickly replaced with more than necessary apologies from the manager personally. We go often as is is not far from where we live and always bring guests from out of town. Keep up the awesome experience!
Dinner was good, but didn't seem substantial as their menu items are less than 500 calories. Even so, they still carry a rather large price tag. Service was good and the menu fit for foodies.
I love this place with the unique but not odd menu. They create tasty options without it being complicated or focused on iron chef judges. Plus the pricing and service are amazing for what you'd get from competition.
Went there with my wife to celebrate an occasion. Got a nice table in the new glassed in expansion, over seeing the street with the holiday lights on the trees. Waitress was superb, and the food was delicious (as always). A 10 out of 10 experience.
My wife is 39 weeks pregnant and we wanted one last meal out before our son arrives. The food was amazing with service that rivaled any steak house. Our server Marissa was really on top of her game, but didn't over do it. We very much enjoy this restaurant.
They accommodated us at the last minute with a very nice private room. Food and Services both were very good.
A great night with the gals to celebrate the holidays. Service and food were excellent. Noise level was high in the dining room, making it difficult for our party of 8 to all visit together, but a minor complaint as we all had a fabulous experience!
Took a group of six to dinner to solidify a business deal. We fortunately got a round table but we had a hard time hearing each other and ended up with multiple conversations, which was not my intention. Aside from the restaurant being a bit noisy, the food was interesting as always and tasty. I'd definitely go back as it was a good experience.
The booths make this an excellent choice for a productive business lunch. Food is fresh and good but not spectacular. Service is decent but not outstanding. Great food choices for people wanting to eat healthy or vegetarian. They take reservations seriously and seat you promptly and by name.
Love this place. The food is always good and the sommelier suggestions right on. I always leave satisfied but never uncomfortable because the portions are perfect!
This was our holiday lunch for my team from work. Outstanding food and service !
Love the freshness of the menu...great selections...love knowing you are eating great food that's good for you

Rams sneak by Panthers 46-43 in defensive struggle
Also beat Grafton for second win of the week
Text and photos by Steev Riccardo
DUDLEY – The Shepherd Hill Rams played tough interior defense and got some key baskets from Tyler Martin and Justin Terlizzi down the stretch to squeeze by the Quabbin Panthers 46-43 in Southern Worcester County League action Monday, Jan. 2, at Shepherd Hill.
The Rams opened an 11-10 first quarter lead, led by the strong inside play of sophomore power forward Chris Lindstrom, who tallied five early points.
The two teams then played a tight second quarter with the Panthers taking a 24-21 lead at the half in what had become a tough defensive struggle in which points were hard to come by.
Senior guard Tyler Martin scored six points and the Rams cut into the Panthers lead trailing by only two points, 35-33 in a third quarter that saw nine different lead changes in it.
The Rams took the lead for good with 2:10 left in the game on an enormous rebound basket by senior Justin Terlizzi. Martin then iced the game moments later with a strong driving layup with 15 seconds left.
"(Tyler) Martin came to life in the second half and decided to take it to the basket and that's what you have to do against them," said Rams coach Duane Corriveau. "They (Quabbin) play such a good man-to-man defense so if you lay around the perimeter you are playing east-west all the time instead of going north-south. It was really the Martin show in the second half, ending up with that beautiful layup and of course Terlizzi got that nice rebound."
Corriveau also praised his young frontcourt players for their tough inside play. "Chris Lindstrom and (Michael) Rapoza were the key to our game on defense with all their blocked shots. They must have nine or 10 blocked shots between them."
Martin and senior Derek Schulman each had 12 points for the Rams, while Terlizzi was also in double figures with 10 points.
Rams 46 Indians 41
On Friday, Jan. 4, the Rams took care of business in Grafton, squeaking by the Indians 46-41. Lindstrom led his team in scoring with 13 points, with Justin Terlizzi adding 10 points, helping the Rams improve to 5-2 on the young season.
The Rams have three important SWCL games coming up with tilts against Southbridge Jan. 9, Auburn Jan. 11, and Tantasqua Jan. 14.

Congratulations to Hamish McFee, our valued Pets As Therapy Dog, who won Caring Dog of The Year in the first ever RSPCA and Daily Mirror Animal Hero Awards, held recently at the Langham Hotel in London.
This week, 22-29 November, is National HIV Testing Week, running up to World AIDS Day on 1 December.
For the fourth year running the Trust has teamed up with the Croydon Advertiser with the Toys for Joy appeal to bring toys to poorly children who are being treated by us over the Christmas period.
The enthusiasm and compassion of staff has been singled out for praise, by teams involved in the most in-depth inspection ever undertaken at Croydon University Hospital. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) acute hospital inspection report published today (21 November 2013) follows a meeting between Croydon Health Services NHS Trust leaders, inspectors, patient groups and health partners, to discuss the findings and how the hospital is working toward providing professional and excellent care.
The Health Secretary confirmed this week that the government has accepted almost all of the recommendations – 281 out of 290 in total - made by Robert Francis following his public inquiry into Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust
Chairman of Croydon Health Services NHS Trust Mike Bell spoke of his pride at having a 'hospital for the future', as he welcomed the Mayor of Croydon Yvette Hopley and the Rt. Hon. Richard Ottaway MP for the re-opening of Purley War Memorial Hospital.
Four clinical directorates come into effect today across Croydon Health Services, helping to deliver compassionate, high quality care and excellent treatment across 18 sites.
A new way of setting up clinical trials means that research projects at Croydon University Hospital will be quicker and easier to get started, attracting more opportunities for clinical investigations and benefiting patients and staff.
John Goulston, chief executive of Croydon Health Services NHS Trust, said: "Croydon University Hospital was among the first hospitals to be visited as part of the CQC's new inspection regime. Being involved early on has supported us to understand where we are making progress and where more needs to be done to provide high quality compassionate care to every patient.
Croydon Health Services Stop Smoking team is inviting people to take the Stoptober challenge, after helping a record 1,400 people to quit last year. Smokers are four times more likely to quit smoking with the support of a Stop Smoking Service Advisor and thousands are predicted to take up the Stoptober 28 day challenge this month.

Patents Sponsored by
Based on trends in literature and at conferences, it is safe to say the industry is interested in perservation and antimicrobials: preservatives for the simple fact that consumers don't want them in products, so alternatives are necessary. Antimicrobials not just because they relate to preservation; selective antimicrobials in particular because research shows the benefits of maintaining healthy skin microflora. Taken from recent patent applications and issuances, the following "Patent Picks" were chosen for their relevance to these subjects.
Chitosan-derived compounds and methods of controlling microbial populations
US Patent Application 20120329753
Publication date: Dec. 27, 2012
Inventors: S Baker, WP Wiesmann and S Ryan
According to this patent, the ability to control microbial populations by selective enhancement or inhibition via natural polysaccharides is advancing. Biopolymers have evolved due to the versatility of their applications and a greater understanding of their function in natural symbiotic processes. This is particularly true for chitosan. Previous work describes chitin nanofibrils for delivery. Also, the synthesis and application of chitosans using methods to produce the quaternary amine with the action of cation-active polymers, particularly polymers that have quaternary ammonium groups, as conditioning compositions for hair. The present invention is directed at chitosan-derived compounds and structures, methods of making chitosan-derived compounds, and applications for their use in controlling, inhibiting and enhancing microbial populations in a variety of environments.
Isoprenoid synthases for improved fungal resistance
US Patent 8338663
Publication date: Dec. 25, 2012
Assignee: Monsanto Invest NV
Disclosed herein is a method for enhancing the fungal resistance of a plant that involves providing the plant with an increased amount of linalool, nerolidol or farnesol, which in turn encodes the gene for the proteinaceous molecule of SEQ ID NO: 19 or 21, expressing it. This application is useful for genetically engineering flavor, fragrance and biocontrol agents. Mono- and sesquiterpenes, the C10 and C15 branch of the isoprenoid family, were investigated as flavor and fragrance compounds in foods and cosmetics, and their anti-carcinogenic and antimicrobial properties. Mono- and sesquiterpenes have also been shown to be of ecological significance, for instance, in the interaction between plants, plants and insects/spider mites, and plants and microorganisms.
Microorganism-comprising particles for purification
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/160526
Publication date: Nov. 29, 2012
Assignee: O Menashe
This invention seeks to reduce nitrate overload in water, purifying foods industry or pharmaceutical industry wastewater. The method involves contacting the water with a particle comprising: a) at least one inner core including a solid matrix of nutrients for microorganism growth; b) an inner membrane fabricated from a water-soluble polymer that surrounds the inner core and a population of dried microorganisms; and c) an outer porous membrane surrounding the inner membrane that is insoluble in water. In some embodiments, the invention relates to microorganism-comprising particles and to the use of same for the removal of contaminants for the production of pharmaceutical and cosmetic compositions.
Gentle-acting octoxyglycerin combinations as skin disinfectants
US Patent 8293802
Publication date: Oct. 23, 2012
Assignee: The Trustees of Columbia University (New York)
This patent describes antimicrobial compositions having synergistic combinations of octoxyglycerin and at least one other antimicrobial agent, which are reportedly more effective than prior art compositions and do not cause increased irritation to the skin. The inventors hypothesize the unexpected antimicrobial effectiveness of said combinations may result from an enhancement of the permeability of microbes to antimicrobials. In certain embodiments, skin irritation is minimized by low concentrations of antimicrobials and/or the presence of soothing compounds such as zinc. A hydroalcoholic gel composition is described, containing alcohol, water, hydrogel and emollient or emulsifier, and having a viscosity of below 2,000 centipoises at between 20°C and 40°C. This skin-friendly hydroalcoholic gel composition can be further combined with silicone polymer, emollient solvent, thickening agent and antimicrobial agent to enhance rapid and long-term antimicrobial efficacy.
Insights into Microbiology includes the principles of preservation to apply to preserve products; green (preservative-free) products and efficacy testing; and rapid methods for preservative efficacy testing to save time, material and disposal costs, and shorten product development timelines.

The Bose companion 5 plays louder but the Focal XS sounds better (it's pretty obvious on vocals)

I have had both sets of speakers and there is not much to choose between either of them. I will say thought that the Focal's like most other new speakers need a period of time to run in.

Never got past installPros: Looks to be great build quality, and fits the E-ATX like it is stated on their website. Cons: Never got to install due to PCI-E 16x overlapping CPU-1 by about 2 inches with a Quadro 4000 graphics card. I don't see how any card would fit there in the first place as close as it is to CPU-1. Partially my fault for ordering this hoping things wouldn't be as tight as they looked. Other Thoughts: Since the 2011 chipset has only a few boards out there I am going to try the next model up the X9DR3-F. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me I suppose... 2 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Life is more stressful than ever. Daily, ever more is being asked (or even demanded) of us. Work follows us home everyday (and keeps us up at night!) The pressures of paying the bills, raising a family, and fulfilling commitments to employers, communities, etc. is leading to ever-increasing tensions. This in turn is putting a greater strain on our health. And when our bodies are under stress, health problems increase. Hypertension, digestive problems, nervous disorders, headaches, and countless other maladies can be created by heightened stress levels. Now more than ever before, it is critical that we develop and follow strategies for stress relief. We truly can't afford not to.
It's important to note that there are countless ways to reduce stress at little or no cost. Just as we schedule in time for work, eating and other essential daily activities, we can also schedule in time to reduce our building pressures. This can be hard to do, especially when it seems that there are more pressing, time-sensitive responsibilities that demand our attention. Stress-relief should be thought of as a pot of water on a stove, slowly building to a boil. If we don't turn the temperature down, the water will eventually require our full attention, and in a much more serious way.
Here are three common-sense ideas for relieving our daily stresses. But remember what they say about common sense? It's not as common as we might think.
1. Prioritize your tasks. Careful planning can make an enormous difference in how in control you feel about your life.
2. Talk a walk for lunch. Most of us get at least a half-hour lunch break during the day. Instead of heading to the local burger joint, take a walk through the local park instead. Or even just around the building.
3. Exercise. This is one of the very best ways to bring our stress-levels down. It makes us feel good, and is good for us.

When discussing social media and its use, far too many CEOs are telling their employees—and the rest of the world for that matter—that they know their company needs to be "doing social" while not practicing what they preach on a personal level.
What CEOs Are Doing on Behalf of Their Companies
"As a percentage of overall marketing budgets, spending on social media is expected to increase 17.5% over the next five years," according to a study conducted last year of nearly 250 top executives by Duke University's Fuqua School of Business.
Information released by MBAPrograms.com revealed how corporations are using social media.
- 94% of corporations are using social media in one way, shape, or form.
- 85% credit social media for providing increased exposure to their business.
- 74% indicated an increase in website traffic, thanks to as little as 6 hours a week on social media.
- 58% say they use social media for creating lead generation and brand loyalty.
- 65% say social media is key to learning about their competition.
Corporations' preferred social media networks are…
No great surprise there, right? CEOs are investing more in social media, and corporations are "getting" social media and realizing that is not a fad. Social media is here to stay, and to stay alive in today's business world, one better "get" social media.
What CEOs Are Doing on Behalf of Themselves
Earlier this year I wrote an article on Josh James, his company Domo and the now infamous #domosocial experiment. James is the embodiment of a CEO who gets social media, so I urge you to read about his groundbreaking experiment.
James and his company recently teamed up with CEO.com to conduct a survey on Fortune 500 CEOs and their use of social media. James wrote about the findings of the survey, which clearly revealed that a very large number of CEOs are "touching the hot stove." 70% of all Fortune 500 CEOs have no presence of any kind on social media.
(An infographic from the Domo and CEO.com survey explains it well.)
When you get right down to it, the fact that CEOs openly acknowledge the importance of social media for their companies yet don't see the need to be socially active themselves is downright hypocritical.
Yes, I saw the stat that read the number of CEOs using social media is expected to grow to 57% from the current 16% in three to five years—but I will believe that when I see it. And by the looks of things, I won't be seeing in 3 , 5, 7 or even 10 years. Sorry, not buying it.
I want to leave you with quotes from Josh's article and also one from David K. Williams who recently penned CEOs and Social Media—How Much is Too Much?
From Josh's aptly titled article CEOs Afraid Of Going Social Are Doing Shareholders A Massive Disservice…
"It is my hope that CEOs come to believe in the transformative power of social media. But if they persist in lagging far behind the general population in social media participation and not delivering value to the shareholders that is there for the taking, they may not be CEOs for much longer."
From David's article…
"If we haven't convinced you yet (of the importance of social media), consider these two results from the BRANDFog 2012 CEO Survey as the final clincher: More than 82% of respondents are likely or much more likely to trust a company whose CEO and team engage in social media. And an amazing 77% of respondents are likely or much more willing to buy from a company whose mission and values are defined through their leaderships' involvement in social media.
The conclusion is clear: Any leader who isn't engaged in social media today is like the leaders of 50 years ago who insisted on sending a telegram instead of dialing a phone.
