Baldwin, Fairley Visit DetroitPosted by on April 20, 2011 – 1:51 pm
Pittsburgh WR Jonathan Baldwin and Auburn DT Nick Fairley visited the Lions Training and Practice Facility Wednesday.
At 6-5, 225 pounds, Baldwin feels he'd be a good addition to Detroit's wide receiving corps that already features Calvin Johnson and Nate Burleson, and believes he would be another deep threat in the receiving game.
Baldwin: "I'm a down the field (receiver). I have big play-making ability that can add that extra spark to the offense and I'll do whatever is necessary to win ball games."
Baldwin, who finished his three-year career at Pitt with 128 receptions for 2,337 yards and 16 touchdowns, says the experience leading up to the NFL Draft has been great, especially getting the opportunity to sit down with coaching staffs across the league.
Baldwin: "It's been a very unique experience meeting different coaching staffs before you're drafted. Everybody is talking to you about film and breaking plays down, talking to you about different things about your offense and then you have to explain the offense you ran (in college). It gives you the chance to teach them and to give them a better understanding of you."
Meeting with the defensive coaching staff, Fairley felt right at home, having played in a similar system at Auburn and excelling as a pass rusher.
Spending most of his time with Lions' defensive line coach Kris Kocurek, Fairley got a good grasp of how he'd fit in.
Fairley: "I'm feeling great here because the defensive scheme is kind of similar to what I played at Auburn: rush the passer, go right to the ball. The way he (Kocurek) talks about the guys that he has in the room, as far as the d-linemen, I think it would be a great fit to come in as a rookie and be under those guys' wings. With how they took (Ndamukong) Suh in last year, how Suh produced and everything, I think it would be a good place to be developed."
After two seasons at Auburn, the 2010 Lombardi Award winner – given to the best college football lineman or linebacker – finished with 88 tackles, 27.5 tackles for loss, 13.0 sacks for 89 yards lost, 2 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recovers and an interception.
Fairley: "At the collegiate level, I feel that I did everything I could with Auburn, winning the National Championship, being defensive player of the year in the SEC, winning the Lombardi and everything. I think I accomplished a lot throughout my two years there and I was just ready to take my skills to the next level."

I like Baldwin,he would take the double team away from Calvin,and keep the defense honest.

Okay take him as undrafted FA.

Neither position (WR or DT) are major concerns for the Lions. As far as receivers we need a speedy slot receiver which could be found in later rounds. Our first and second round picks would be better spent on positions of need. LB, OL, CB. As Deep as analysts are saying this draft is with DE and DT we can find good players late in the draft. We are also likely losing RB Smith and QB Stanton to free agency, but their replacements could be found in rounds 3 through 5.

i do not want fairly but would love baldwin, it is true we need a speedy slot guy but baldwin would be a great #2 and move nate inside to the slot and shazam who u gonna cover…jst sayin

I agree Jeremy, Baldwin sounds like he could be a good compliment to our WRs, but he is likely going to be taken in the second round and I not sure if we should use that high of a pick on WR when we have some other pressing needs. If he falls to the third or later because of his personality issues I would say they should take the chance.

I also like the Baldwin as a #2 receiver for us. I have no problem seeing him taken in the second round. We could always grab Mason Foster or Quan Sturdivant in the third and go for a CB in free agency, whenever that is. I hear Baldwin's a bit of a diva (mold of TO and Randy Moss) though, but if he's good, he's good. I can't even imagine a D coordinator trying to tell his DB's "OK, cover Johnson…wait, cover Baldwin….wait, cover Burelson…wait, cover Pettigrew..DANG IT!!!" Wouldn't have to worry about our glaring needs at DB or LB with Fairley added to the mix either. It would be like last year except with the volume blasting all the way, all game long. Opposing QB's would be constantly looking up going "wa happened?" It would make our CB's look like pro bowlers. Go D-line again! If you can't get Fairley, Get DaQuan Bowers. That knee is going to be fine for years to come. I've seen the interviews with Bowers and he's our kind of guy.

wow… i never entertained taking Fairley at number 13. but that wouldnt be necessarily a bad thing!!!
By eric on Apr 21, 2011 | Reply
I agree guns…we allready can rush the passer,just with our front four..Bowers would be a great addition! U get the number 1 pick which he is at 13..and Lojack and Avril had career years playin with Suh an VB..but can we pass on Jimmy Smith,he is the most skillful corner in the draft..might be a superstar. Mark Ingram is gonna be a helleva pro..So who knows what they will do..

Why not give Steffan Logan a shot at playing slot. He has great hands and great speed. Just a thought.
By TwoGuns635 on Apr 21, 2011 | Reply
Hey, just wanted to plant a seed for all the Detroit brass that might be viewing these pages….get Marvin Austin. Although I like Fairley, my guess is he'll be gone. Austin's stock keeps climbing and I like what I've seen so far from this player. Out a year, stayed in shape, killed in all the games leading up to the combine, shined there as well, interviewed well, and plays like a OLB in a DT's body. I rate him just as high as Fairley. If he would've played, he would have been a top ten pick. He also is not injured, played in a pro system and is all business on the field. He would fit in well here. If he's good enough to go in the first round, he's good enough to go near the middle of the first round. MARIVN AUSTIN DT, JONATHAN BALDWIN WR, MASON FOSTER or QUAN STURDIVANT LB, CURTIS MARSH CB, STEVAN RIDLEY RB, and lastly GREG ROMEUS DE. Awesome draft. DO IT! Ha.

If CB Prince and OT Tyron Smith is off the board then yes go with a LB, DT, DE. For the 13th pick like a Bowers or Fairley and CB maybe Jimmy Smith in the second round and third round WR Jonathan Baldwin possibly then in the fourth round a RB and fifth round OT and sixth DB. who knows maybe in free agency we pick up LB A.J. Hawk.
By TD on Apr 22, 2011 | Reply
Fairley would be a terrific pick at 13, especially if he is the BPA. Anyone recall the Williams Wall in Minnie, and how dominate they made the rest of the defense? Corey Smith isn't getting any younger and Fairley in the rotation would make the entire defense better. Of course, I would prefer the Prince or a top flight DE, but in all likelihood they will be long gone by 13. Baldwin would make a terrific compliment, and give our young offense one more weapon for Stafford. Would much rather see a stud LB or power RB taken in the second round where Baldwin projects. Regardless of the selection, I have complete confidence in Mayhem making the right choice for our team.
By Preston on Apr 22, 2011 | Reply
Jimmy Smith won't be there in the second round. I say we trade back and draft Pouncey and then use the aqquired pick to move back into the first round and snatch up Jimmy Smith. Later we draft the best Center prospect we can or a higher caliber guard if avaible. On the right side of the line we have Hillard and others who have done a great. Jimmy Smith has character concerns and it bother me, but he is the best CB in this draft class. Everyone wants to cry about replacing Backus when guy played at a high level last season, sure he's older and his contract only has a year left, but if were all going to cry about Backus than we should be considering replacing Riola in the same sentance. They've both been in the league 11 years. If you use my stratagy you get the best RT, CB, LB in the Third and Rodney Huson in the 4th.

If the Lions were fortunate enough to draft Nick Fairley, it would be a safe assumption that I would be a season ticket-holder for the next 10 years. The Lions could probably still add a couple of starters in rounds two and three to help out the back 7.
By Don on Apr 22, 2011 | Reply
I think that Jonathan Baldwin would be a Great Pickup! And if it Can Happen it would Open up our Offense Like none other in the League!
Like someone was Sayin, Calvin, Burleson, Pettigrew, And even Javid out of the Backfield. Who are they going to cover? The Other Team's are having fit's when we run 2 TE's. Let Alone a recieving core like that!
That would Make every WR that have Very Capable of Making that play! And Baldwin would be one that Stafford could Air it out to for the Long Bomb and having it Sped into the endzone! Not that he can't do that with Calvin, That is Precisely The Problem that the Other TEAMs would have, the Fact that we could do it with either of them!
Sorry Lost My mind for a Moment there.
Fairly would Also be a great Pick Too! And I feel more of a 1st rounder.
I have to say that this year is a Little tougher as who to go with. A lot of the Men that we will want will be off the board, So we realy have to do our homework. But I'm sure that Mayhew is studying hard on who to take.And Schwartz is hard at it also. So far so Good! I Really believe that we have great minds Putting this thing together. And they WILL do what is best for the Team.
And that is a Great releave from the type of drafts that we were forced to indure in the past. I love the draft!

how about this for a blast draft if prince and tyron smith is gone jimmy smith is too high at 13 if fairley falls to 13 get him and if daquan bowers falls at 2nd round wich is big possibility grab him and let him heal up for most of the year remember blake griffin broken kneecap has monster ROY from resting a year who knows maybe CB jonathan joseph stud goes to free agency and also LB AJ Hawk free agency and use the rest of the draft for offense.

We need a LB in round one. We can pick up a CB in free agency….Champ Bailey is free.

jojo – I hate to tell you this but AJ Hawk resigned with the packers prior to all this rigamarow with the lockout. I agree though, there are all kinds of free agents available. I like Stephen Nicholas from the Falcons who's actually said that he would like to play with the Detroit Lions. 27 years old and he's good. I'm also ok with us nabbing someone like Marion Barber when Dallas cuts him later this year. He would be a good pick up and be great opposite Best. I think the injury bug hurt him the last two years but there were flashes last year of the old Marion the Barbarian.

I dont think we should take either one of these guys. the only way we can use a deep threat reciever is to keep Stafford in the game, and our D-line is probably the possition with the least need. we will need another PK before a DT. CB, OLB, S, C, FB, WR. GO LIONS!!!
By ChristopherWayne on Apr 23, 2011 | Reply
I'm going to have to say that the best player available is the best way to build our team up. I think that even if that means we don't get a CB or OL early, we would still be able to find help in free agency. If Baldwin is the best available when we pick, I say take him. If Fairley is somehow still on the board at 13, and our top prospect still available, we should take him. I trust Mayhew and the rest of the guys that will be making the calls. I know we can continue our growth. We just have to stick to the game plan…so far, it's working.

Baldwin would be a good pick later in the draft… Calvin's contract is up after this season… He hasnt spoken highly of Detroit the last couple years and Baldwin could develop into a Calvin-esque type player.
By epaul9 on Apr 24, 2011 | Reply
Draft Mark Ingram! Javid is not a work horse style of a back. Ingram and Javid would be a great tandom to have. Best could be spread out like Reggie Bush in certain packages and cause all kinds of havoc for defenses. I know this will not happen, but it would be sweet!!!
By Steve Collins on Apr 24, 2011 | Reply
I'm looking at somebody Like Doss from Indiana or Salas from Hawaii to come on board and fill the slot receiver spot with the Lions,DE would be more a need on the DL as Williams, Suh,Hill,are well able to hold down the lanes between the Tackles.
I seen one Mock Draft have us taking DE Claybourne from Iowa in the 2nd round.Interesting ….
By Lion Mike on Apr 24, 2011 | Reply
If Prince is gone, trade back to 18. SD can go get Bowers or Julio Jones and we can take their 3rd round pick.
1. Jimmy Smith – CB from Colorado
2. Jon Baldwin – WR from Pittsburgh
3A. Bruce Carter – OLB from UNC
3B. John Moffitt – G from Wisconsin
4. Nate Irving – OLB from NC State
5. Kristofer O'Dowd – C from USC
Pick up Tulloch on day one of free agency and Nnamdi will want to play on this defense. That back 7 would be scary for the next 3-5 years. Levy, Tulloch, Carter, Jimmy Smith, Nnamdi, Speivey and Delmas.
Moffitt will replace Peterman this year. O'Dowd would replace Raiola next year. We can draft a LT to replace Backus and Fox can play RT. This team will compete for a SB very soon!

Why to go Lions, great pick with Nick Fairley!!!! Keep up the good work!!! It sure is a comfort to see LIONS Management going in the right direction. After being a loyal fan for 55 years I might someday see a winner before the end of time. GO LIONS !!!!!!!!!


text: Mustaches are everywhere, or at least they should be. Just look to one of our countrys most majestic monuments for proof. There, up on Mount Rushmore, is Teddy Roosevelts mustached upper lip, beautifully groomed in granite and larger than life. If a mountain has no trouble showing off its ´stache, then why are so many mustachioed men in this country forced to feel shame about their choice of facial hair? One group seeks to change all that. The St. Louis-based American Mustache Institute hopes to spread the mustache love with ´Stache Bash 2007, an annual party and fundraiser happening in the shadow of the Gateway Arch (what the AMI calls the worlds largest mustache), at Al Hraboskys Ballpark Saloon (800 Cerre Street). To further its cause, not only is the AMI bringing in several bands to play throughout the night, including MattiBurns & the Tin-Can Tourists and the Quarter Draw Band, but the group has also secured an appearance by the esteemed documentary filmmaker Jay Della Valle, the man behind The Glorius (sic) Mustache Challenge. This film dares men younger than 30 to rock the mustache for one month, and were thinking that month should start a couple days before ´Stache Bash. But in case you cant grow facial hair under pressure, fake cookie dusters will be accepted in the spirit of the party (ladies, you can wear the falsies, too). To purchase your $10 bash ticket, which includes beer, call 877-STACHE-1 or email email@example.com; more mustached information can be found at www.myspace.com/stachebash2007. The celebrations and outreach efforts run from 8 p.m. to midnight. (Oh, and proceeds go toward Challenger Baseball, a league for children with disabilities. See, mustaches really are good!)

Willie Nelson and Family
8pm. An icon in American popular culture and one of the greatest treasures in music, Willie Nelson is a living legend whose career has spanned over six decades. With 2,500 songs in his nearly 300-album discography and multiple Grammy's, American Music Awards, and Country Music Awards under his belt, Nelson's credentials are formidable.
The prolific artist has sold more than 40 million records in the United States and is well known as an activist for his contributions to social causes. In 2004, his hit "On the Road Again" was ranked among the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time by Rolling Stone. In 1961, he wrote "Crazy," which became a career-changing song for Patsy Cline. Nelson is also known for perhaps the most memorable version of "Always On My Mind" ever recorded.
lson's critical success in country music is largely due to his unique country sound, which fuses jazz, blues, pop, rock, and folk. To celebrate his 80th birthday this year, Let's Face The Music and Dance, a collaboration by Willie Nelson and Family, will be released on April 16.

L293, L293D Datasheet – Quadrapule Half-H bridge drivers to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, dc and bipolar stepping motors using either PWM or full load signals.
L293d General Description
The L293 and L293D are quadruple high-current half-H drivers. The L293 is designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 1 A at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. The L293D is designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 600-mA at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. Both devices are designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, dc and bipolar stepping motors, as well as other high-current/high-voltage loads in positive-supply applications.
All inputs are TTL compatible. Each output is a complete totem-pole drive circuit, with a Darlington transistor sink and a pseudo-Darlington source. Drivers are enabled in pairs, with drivers 1 and 2 enabled by 1,2EN and drivers 3 and 4 enabled by 3,4EN. When an enable input is high, the associated drivers are enabled, and their outputs are active and in phase with their inputs. When the enable input is low, those drivers are disabled, and their outputs are off and in the high-impedance state. With the proper data inputs, each pair of drivers forms a full-H (or bridge) reversible drive suitable for solenoid or motor applications.
L293d Features
- Wide Supply-Voltage Range: 4.5 V to 36 V
- Separate Input-Logic Supply
- Internal ESD Protection
- Thermal Shutdown
- High-Noise-Immunity Inputs
- Functionally Similar to SGS L293 andSGS L293D
- Output Current 1 A Per Channel (600 mA for L293D)
- Peak Output Current 2 A Per Channel (1.2 A for L293D)
- Output Clamp Diodes for Inductive Transient Suppression (L293D)

This holiday season has left you fat and happy. Of course, happiness is a good thing any time of year, but plumpness is the sworn enemy of most new year's resolution writers. Be that as it may, you're still not going to squeeze into workout clothes and do any kind of real exercising today, no matter how steadfast you are in keeping those pesky little goals you've set for yourself. But you could probably ease into that new fitness routine with a couple of games of bowling — what? It's a sport! Olivette Lanes (9520 Olive Boulevard) opens at noon on this New Year's Day, so that means you have plenty of time to enjoy your hangover-curing breakfast and then get on over to the alley. Your rolling arm will certainly get a bit of a workout, and your drinking arm might, too (a little hair of the dog never hurt anyone). To check lane availability and reserve a spot, call 314-991-0365.

The 33 credits of your B.S.W. program are transferred into your M.S.W. transcript). Under this plan, you earn the remaining 33 credits for the degree in the Advanced Phase of our program, consisting of 24 course credits and 9 fieldwork credits.
The program takes approximately one and one half years to complete leading to the M.S.W. degree with a clinical concentration. Students begin the program by taking the Human Rights and Social Justice course (required for Fordham's MSW degree) in the initial summer semester, followed by courses and field work in the fall and spring semesters. Students complete the degree in the first half of the following fall semester. Each online course runs for 8 weeks. Students take two consecutively offered courses in the two fall semesters, two consecutively offered courses in the spring semester, and one course in each summer semester. Visit the Advanced Standing Plan of Study to learn more about sequence of courses.
The Office of Admission is dedicated to assist those interested in applying to the Advanced Standing option of the Online MSW Program. Please visit the GSS Admission page for information about admission requirements and application deadlines.

(5)-stars for product and (5-stars for "WING SUPPLY") - I had two of these lights I got from another supplier and have used them for several years. They "DID NOT" loose any brightness and the batteries lasted me last summer (2011) and one is still good so far this year (2012)in the one I did not break -(dropped and stepped on it)..stll as bright as ever so far this year. I broke one (my fault) and needed another. I found them at "WING SUPPLY IN GREENVILLE, KY" I telephoned them and got Patty who could not have been more helpful. They had (6) on hand as they were close to selling out. Patty put a lot of effort into making sure the light she had was what I was looking for. She explained price, shipping, shipping times, and made sure all was as it should be. I ended up buying all (6) to keep from not having one when if I misplaced or broke another. Not only would I not use any other cap light as long as "WING SUPPLY" can get them, I will not order from anyone else except "WING SUPPLY". They are on (amazon.com) and this company understands customer service and fair treatment. Their employees desmonstrate a very positive attitude and make ya feel like they appreciate your purchase. Six of these lights was not exactly a huge purchase, but they treated me like my order was just as important as any huge purchase they had for the day. They did not rush me, listened to me, discussed my purchase with me, and in general made me feel like I should have spent more money with them. If ya are tired of run of the mill shabby service, and a don't care attitude, then go to "WING SUPPLY" and see if ya don't feel like they want and try their best to earn your business no matter how small or large your order may be. Thanks to "WING SUPLPLY" from a very happy and satisfied customer. Ya got my business now and in the future. (April 7th, 2012)

I like the sliding on/off switch, there is no way for it to accidentally turn on in your pack.

All News on Rachel Crow
Got Something to Add?
Cute, give her a Disney Channel contract to replace Miley and lets get on with the competition. So far Simon has had her corrupt two classics in Satisfaction and Walking on Sunshine to show how cute she was. If you want her to compete with the adults you need to let her sing like the adults like she did last week. This was just too bubblegum!
A 13/14 year old singing "Satisfaction" is just ridiculous!
I agree with everyone else. Simon is absolutely TERRIBLE at picking song choices and it makes me feel really bad for her. It is almost like he is deliberately sabotaging her on purpose. She at least tries to do her best with each song and I give her high marks for that.
If you close your eyes and just listen to her, its quite good ! Those background dancers and up up the volume background singers take away from her performance.
Simon is way off the mark with picking out songs for her. She picked a great song for herself last week. Simon listen to this girl and let her do her own thing.
Can anyone say to Simon Cowell to stop to choose the songs for Rachel Crow ?
What a stupid choice for her. And sorry...but should a 13 year old girl really sing this song? Simon you need to do better by Rachel.
Not as good as last week because Simon choose the song again AND he is not picking the right song for Rachel Crow .
Simon !!! pleaseeee don't choose any song for Rachel anymore !!!!!!!!!! You are going to make her loose .
This rock night is not rock at all , it 's all over some rape , some balad , some Marley and whatever !!!!!!! What is the point to have a theme if you don't follow it . So only Rachel did a rock song and s boting one because Satisfaction is a very very boring song . She sge is f....d by Simon , by a theme that no one else follow and whatever !!!!!!!! One more week of crap with that show and i stop to watch . I wanted to support Rachel but with Simon song choice , i won't be able to do that . Sorry Rachel .
Tora Woloshin's version of that song was brilliant!
This not so much.
He really doesn't get her. What a shame for her. I think she's a great soulful bluesy singer. Just let her sing it. How hard is that? She's incredible!
How the h-ll did Simon manage to make " I can't get no satisfaction" sound like pop song? DISLIKE!
LOL! that should have been "hear hear!"
I should have simply said "well said, Jay...many agree with you!"
here here!!
Tora was a far distant second to the glam-master Adam Lambert on Idol !


text: Congressional Democrats Stonewalling Any Border Fix by Dan Riehl 15 Jul 2014 View Discussion Share This: Despite what's being acknowledged as a humanitarian crisis, Democrats in Congress are vowing to derail any potential fix, even though it was the Democrat-in-chief in the White House who opened the door to that very thing. Democrats in the House and Senate said Tuesday they would oppose any changes to a 2008 human trafficking law Republicans have blamed for the wave of child immigrants crossing the border. The opposition sets up a standoff and raises serious doubts about whether Congress will be able to act before its summer recess in response to what both parties argue is a humanitarian crisis. With the border in chaos and impacted individuals and states now in crisis mode, Obama opted out of his usual golf game and, as The Hill points out, took a page from the NFL playbook and "punted", instead. With Democrats divided and already being blamed for the current illegal immigration crisis, their prospected for the 2014 mid-terms look worse every day. The White House on Monday punted on the issue of how to deal with the 2008 law, arguing it would rely on Congress to determine the "legislative machinations." The 2008 law allows authorities to send immigrant children from Mexico or Canada back to their home countries within 48 hours of a screening, but requires that children from Central America and other countries be granted an asylum hearing that can take weeks to set up. President Obama has signaled a willingness to consider changes to the law, but did not propose new language in his request for $3.7 billion in emergency funding to deal with a crisis that has overwhelmed authorities at the border.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/21/2014By far, the best Sunday brunch anywhere! A 'must'!Special Features:
- So much promise, so disappointingJT00VIPDined on 9/21/2014Why this restaurant fails to "staff up" for Parents Weekend is beyond me. They have a wonderful brunch buffet. But we will not be going back -- service was stretched so thin to be almost non-existent. After pouring our water, and getting coffee/tea, the server disappeared. We were never offered OJ. We tried to flag the server down -- would not make eye contact with us at all. Had to ask the hostess to find him; even that didn't get his attention. Finally we asked the hostess to find us the manager -- even that took 15+ minutes. The server finally showed up and told us we should just walk out without paying (we declined and insisted on paying). Finally the manager showed up -- and was absolutely clueless that we might not be happy
- DisappointedCarolynVIPDined on 9/21/2014Inside had the imbedded odor of cigarettes. Hostess set up a table of 10 when the reservation stated 4 people at 10. We sat for about 20 minutes before I had to ask for water. Waitress Amy what a doll was so overwhelmed with a smile did the very best she could since someone called out. They had an overpriced brunch for 27 bucks but regular breakfast was reasonable and decent. Hostesses tried helping bus table since there was no one to do that either especially being family weekend at Scranton. Wouldn't go back during brunch too much chaos.Special Features:
- DoctheromanticgentlemanDined on 9/7/2014The waiter was minimally attentive. Had to even ask for more water and took too long to bring the change with the check. The food variety was good, quality of food good, and lovely atmosphere. The piano player definitely helped made the day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- brunch not the sameused2beBigFanDined on 8/31/2014I've been going to brunch here once a year for 10 years and this time was disappointed. The food options were scaled down and the quality not as good. The cheesecake tasted like jello cheesecake mix and oreo cookies as an option didn't seem worthy of $26. Our waitress ignored us repeatedly even though she made the rounds to all the tables around us who weren't doing brunch. The price of brunch used to include a mimosa, now they are $6 extra. I brought a group here from out of town because it's such a beautiful setting and thought we'd get a brunch worthy of the price. We were all disappointed–not worth it and we won't go back.Special Features:
- Wonderful as alwaysGerriDined on 8/30/2014This was our fifth visit to Carmen's , never disappointed. Food is outstanding and the staff is attentive and friendly. Would recommend for a special night out...Special Features:
- Jazz and BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/10/2014We had the fortunate luck of having brunch on the last day of the Scranton Jazz festival. Not only was the food and service wonderful, as expected, but the four piece jazz group provided delightful entertainment. PerfectSpecial Features:
- January49VIPDined on 8/10/2014Sunday Brunch is always a hit. Jazz combo made it better.Special Features:

- Great food, historic settingdinergirlDined on 7/11/2014Great dinner with husband and son the other evening in the historic Lackawanna Station. Our service was attentive and the food was wonderful. Our 14 year old son said it was even better than the food he had for the past 10 days on vacation in Hawaii.Special Features:
- plister215Dined on 7/5/2014wait staff was very attentive and the food was excellentSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday BrunchtinythunderDined on 6/22/2014A good friend recommended Carmen's for Sunday brunch. I didn't know what to expect but there was the right amount of options: breakfast items, lunch items, seafood, olive and cheese platter items, and of course, desserts. For $27, this is more than your money's worth. Watch out for those drinks though, too tasty and they can add up! No gripes though. Top notch experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- excellence at Carmen'sOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/20/2014The staff was impeccable; professional and friendly. The setting and atmosphere were absolutely stunning. The food was fantastic; surprisingly reasonably priced, not pretentious, great quality ingredients, done to order. Our server, Frank was the epitome of grace and attentiveness. He was engaging but not overbearing.Special Features:
- fathers day brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/15/2014we have been there many times, food selection is very good. fathers day seemed to be understaffed though. the greeters had no order when it came to all of the reservations piling throughthe door at the same time. obviously brunch was overbooked.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Usually great place for brunch!fairytalefeastsVIPDined on 6/15/2014I absolutely love the brunch at the Radison and my family goes there frequently. Great food and a beautiful atmosphere. Fathers Day brunch wasa little unruly. It was very crowded and disorganized - very unlike them. Lots of new ppl and they seemed confused. The host was so kind though and was clearly doing his best to seat everyone. Their brunch was excellent and they offer something for everyone. I'd still go back - maybe just not on a holiday. But never say never!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What happened to this place?DisgustedDined on 6/15/2014I took my family to Father's Day brunch as I have done for the past 18 years. Usually we have excellent service with excellent food. Not this year. It was a nightmare. Our waitress came to our table and it took 20 minutes for her to bring our coffee. Two of the staff were complaining about customers and were rude to us as we were walking out. There was so much more that was horrible about this place this year. It's one day that my family looks forward to and now we won't be going backSpecial Features:
- Carmen's should be ashamed!BrunchDined on 5/11/2014Would've had a better experience at Dennys. Last time we were here was 4 yrs ago.Wow have things gone down hill! Cold Belgium waffles,extremely under cooked prime rib at the carving station,sliced so thin it was almost transparent.Very limited food selection.Poor quality/preparation.My 18 year old son,who will eat just about anything & normally have 2-3 refills had 4 items on his plate & didn't finish what he had! I felt terrible.We had 3:30 reservations so we saved ourselves all day & we left hungry.Chocolate fountain area, choc splashed all over plates,skewers,tablecloth, waterlogged strawberries.Our waiter had a fresh,open cut on his hand.The staff sat at a table next to us & ate.When I'm paying 200$ I don't expect to eat with the staff!
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/11/2014Great Sunday brunch. Excellent dessert display with chocolate fountain, a must try!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EnjoyableMadaboutdiningDined on 5/7/2014It is nice to go to a place that doesn't give you huge portions. Instead they give the right amount of high quality food. We have been going there for over 20 years. It has always been a favorite special occasion spot for us. I was a bit sad though to see the partitions gone. It gave privacy to the diners. I was distracted by the hotel business going on in the background. Over all, we did enjoy our meal and will be back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Good...as alwaysDepoChickDined on 4/20/2014We hadn't been to brunch in a few years due to family commitments so we were happy to be able to go this year and we were not disappointed with the food. We did notice the pasta station was gone, but was replaced by a pierogi station so we didn't miss the pasta. The pierogies were excellent! All the food was very good. The desserts were a little lacking. I think they count on you using the chocolate fountain as they had lots of treats to dip in the fountain. We would have liked more cake choices and not so much mousse. We will be back next Easter for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- IncredibleUpandcomerDined on 4/19/2014This was one of the best meals we have ever had. Great service and unique selection of dishes. The food had such a unique flavor and was cooked perfectly. We had no complaints and will definitely be returning customers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never dissapointedTrainheadDined on 3/21/2014Carmines is our go to restaurant when we need a great place to eat. The service, food and ambiance is always perfect and the location in downtown Scranton is very convenient. The historic depot and once main office of the Lackawanna Railroad makes for an interesting dining experience. Check is out. You too will not be dissapointedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I thought it would be a betterlusam325Dined on 3/17/2014I thought it would be a better place based on the reviews but the atmosphere was not what I expected as it was in the middle of the lobby. There was only one other couple there. The food was decent .. creme brulee was watery.Special Features:
- Special Valentines menu wasJanuary49VIPDined on 2/14/2014Special Valentines menu was really good. Appitizer bar was outstanding. Service was very good and Piano music made things just that much better. Disappointed in resaurant's selection of wine glasses. When you pay $60+ for a bottle of wine you expect to get a wine glass fitting to the wine. They only have one glass type and that is fit for a sweet white or red. It is not correct for a dry red or even a dry white. Their wine glasses do not measure up to their wine list which is very good. Next time I'll just order a glass instead of a bottle or maybe no wine at all.Special Features:
- Very nice experience. BeautifulJanuary49VIPDined on 2/8/2014Very nice experience. Beautiful place, good service and good food. It's a keeper.Special Features:
- FANTASTIC, FRESH SPECIALSlstranDined on 1/4/2014CREATIVE FLAVORS, WONDERFUL SPECIALS. SERVICE WAS IMPECCIBLE. OUR PARTY OF FOUR ATE AND RELAXED FOR 3 HOURS. STAFF IS PROFESSIONAL AND WARM AT THE SAME TIME. CHEF CHRIS INTRODUCED HIMSELF AND ASKED WHAT WE THOUGHT OF THE DAILY SPECIALS, THANKED US FOR COMING IN.Special Features:
- First timerTaylorDined on 12/29/2013This was the first time we ever ate at Carmen's. Our daughter Taylor was in from college for the holiday and we wanted to take her to a brunch locally. The sevice was good, selection very good and overall experience was excellent. The pianp player added a certain charm to our dining experience. We will be back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Check in process was not organizedOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 12/25/2013Check in process was not organized the food was nothing special esp that we were there for Christmas !
- Waited over 45 mins for aLoveagreatdinnerDined on 12/25/2013Waited over 45 mins for a table, despite our reservation. Didnt see a waiter/waitress for over 20 mins once seated and had to flag down the manager for drinks. Food was good, not exceptional by any means and service was beyond poor. Wouldn't recommend.
- Christmas brunch disappointingdiningduoDined on 12/25/2013Long wait even with reservation. Food was fair.Crab claws and shrimp water logged.Limited salad choices.Hot items were just warm.Overpriced based on selections. Does not compare to the dinner, but that was some time ago, and do not know if it has changed. The service however, was excellent. Attentive staff, even with the buffet. May not choose Carmen's again next time in town.
- Sunday brunchNuts4brunchDined on 12/22/2013I'll assume that because it was Christmas, I was charged $10 more than the advertised price. The selection was not in accord with the $37 price tag. The food seemed to be dried out. In years past this was our favorite brunch spot. We won't be going back.Special Features:
- Best in ScrantonOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 12/5/2013The 1908 Train Station has survived in tact. The original marble walls with large inset tile scenes are still there and in excellent shape. The food is as grand as the setting. An Italian seafood stew was filled with Jumbo shrimp, large sea scallops, Clams and Brasiiian Sea Bass. The service is attentive without being intrusive. We will definitely return when we are in Scranton.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I've dined here several timesCreeksideDined on 12/4/2013I've dined here several times with both small and large groups. The food and service has always been very good.Special Features:
- Lack LusterhotdaddyDined on 11/26/2013Very limited menu. People coming and going in the Lobby/dining area. Parking was absolutely awful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Setting and FoodKBSunnysideDined on 9/22/2013The setting is really lovely in the former Scranton train station. Tables are not too close and you can dine at a relaxed pace. The service was attentive and friendly, and we could get coffee while we waited for our brunch reservation. The food offered was good and the omelets were well prepared. The selection was nice, heavier on lunch fare, but somewhat limited. All the fixings for bagels were beautiful, but we had to request a bagel. We'll surely return for brunch here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ignored for two hoursOut2eatVIPDined on 9/21/2013We arrived for dinner and were assaulted by an overwhelmingly noisy cocktail hour for a wedding. While we were seated quickly it took over 20 minutes for a server to come to our table. We waited even longer for bread and drinks. Our appetizers arrived a half hour after ordering them and we were not given plates to use for our shared dishes. Dinner took another half hour to receive. While dinner was ok, no one ever asked how it was or if we needed anything else. We had to flag down a waiter for the bill and no one ever apologized for the poor attention we received. A word of warning for other diners, this restaurant cannot accommodate a wedding and restaurant diners. This was my family's worst ever dining experience.
- WeddingdinersmithDined on 9/21/2013I would not recommend going to dinner here if they are hosting a wedding. They really should not even have open dining while half of the restaurant area is being used for cocktail hour. We were a party of 3 that spent over two hours there waiting for food.
- Do NOT go FRIDAY / SATURDAY nightsJT00VIPDined on 9/21/2013What a disaster! There was a wedding in the banquet hall (hence -- do not go on a Friday or Saturday night). There was only one server (plus assistants) for the entire dining room -- and he would vanish for 15 or 20 minutes at a time. Drink orders were slow. Took a half hour just to place our order. Entrees came out 45 minutes after appetizers were cleared. Everyone in the dining room was tapping feet and looking for the server. Some got up and left. Others stuck it out. The food -- when it came -- was good (although my steak was slightly past medium, too long under a heat lamp, I suspect). Others in the dining room complained about the quality of their meals. In fairness, the server did comp us a round of drinks. Never again.

- Sunday Brunch @Carmen'spinklady24Dined on 9/1/2013I took my husband to Sunday Brunch @Carmens for his birthday. Overall, it was a good experience. They presented a nice variety of different breakfast/lunch options and the quality was good. The omelet station was great and the chocolate fountain was nice ending to our meal. He enjoyed the pork loin and french toast was good. One disappointment was the service. We arrived at 10:00am when the brunch opened, before the crowds arrived, and we had to wait for ten minutes and finally had to flag down someone to get our coffee/tea/juice order. For the price we paid, it would have been nice to have received more attentive and friendly service.

Sue Webb-Rees purchased this studio in 2007

To "minesweep" is to wander through a location where people are drinking, such as a bar or a party, and drink the partially-finished beverages that people abandoned.
I'm low on money this week, but I still want to get drunk, so lets go minesweep that crowded college bar.

Entries will only be accepted online starting December 1, 2010 for the first round of judging. Finalists that conform to the core judging criteria will be asked to submit physical samples of their designs for the final round of judging. If a finalist entry is too large or heavy, entrants will be asked to send in video or scale models/prototypes, extra images, product spec sheets or other material.
Before you log in to upload your entry, be sure to review categories and sub-categories and choose the most appropriate for your entry. Have all of your information ready to submit, including:
- A complete and accurate list of designer credits and clients/manufacturers;
- Answers to entry form questions. For categories requiring special entry forms (Research, Strategy and Interactive Product Experiences), please refer to the corresponding entry form template for specific requirements. All other categories use the general IDEA entry form.
- Images/storyboards:
- One glamour shot – a crisp, clear professional photograph that shows your product's best side and fills the frame. It should be horizontally-oriented, have a contrasting background (white is best), and be attention-grabbing and visually compelling. File should be saved as a 768 x 1024 pixel .JPG, no larger than 500KB
- One .PDF file (horizontal format / 6 pg, 3MB max) to explain the challenge and solution (we suggest PowerPoint saved as a .PDF)

The judging is blind: the designers, their names and the names of consulting firms may not appear anywhere in the entry form or image/file uploads. Failure to abide by this rule results in immediate disqualification. It's acceptable for brand names or logos of manufacturing companies/clients to appear if they are inherent to the product.
Note: For entrants in categories requiring special entry forms (Research, Strategy and Interactive Product Experiences), please refer to the special entry form template for specific requirements. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete your entry.
Jurors do their initial scoring online in teams of two for their assigned categories. In this first stage of judging, the jury will evaluate all entries for eligibility, completeness, thoroughness, appropriateness and general conformance to award criteria. Specific criteria may be weighted differently in different categories, at the judges' discretion.
Finalists meeting a minimum score after the first round will be invited to submit samples or other supplementary material. Complete instructions will be provided to Finalists upon notification.
In the second, final judging stage, the jury as a whole will meet in their teams to review the supplementary entry material sent in by the Finalists in their categories. Each team will decide which Finalists exemplify the key principles of design excellence and will make recommendations to the jury as a whole for Gold, Silver and Bronze winners. The entire jury will vote to make final award determinations. The jury's decisions are final.
Best Student Design, Best Concept Design, Best of Category Awards and Paradigm Shifter Awards (or other ad hoc awards) may also be given at the jury's discretion. The Best in Show Award may be given to one or more Gold-winning entry deemed best in show by the jurors. This award will be determined at the conclusion of the regular jurying by clear majority vote.
People's Choice Award: Voting for this award will be conducted live at The Henry Ford Museum and voted on by the public.
Designer's Choice Award: Voting for this award will be done online after the winners are announced, and is open to the public. Each person may only vote once. Voting will also be open during the national conference in September 2011. Only the Gold winners will be eligible to win the Designer's Choice Award.
Responsibility Award: This award will be given by the jury in conjunction to Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards to those designs deemed most responsible to society, economy, environment, and culture.
All decisions of the jury and sponsors are final. IDSA makes no guarantees as to the number and type of IDEA awards given each year. All data contained in the submission become the property of IDSA and part of its archives.

Cameroon: Singer sentenced to three years in jail
Singer sentenced to three years in jail
Several news sites reported that the popular singer Lapiro de Mbanga was sentenced to three years in jail for taking part in anti-government riots in Cameroon in February 2008.
Protests and appeals
The verdict
Criticising the government
Lapiro's wife denied that he took part in the riots. She told AFP news agency that her husband actually calmed people down, preventing them to burn down the city hall in his hometown Mbanga.
However, Augustin Mbami from Lapiro's defence said to Cameroon-info that the verdict isn't as bad as it could have been, considering that Lapiro only was found guilty to three out of six charges and that the SPM had claimed one billion CFA francs in damages.

Centagenarian secures 25-year mortgage
A 102-year-old UK man has secured a £200,000 interest-only mortgage which will cost him £958 a month until he makes the final payment at 127, Ananova reports. The East Sussex old timer, who intends to use the cash to move into the buy-to-let market, is the oldest person in Britain to be granted a new mortgage. Jonathan Moore, …
Responsibile lending, what's that?
They truly will give credit to anyone these days.... never mind working out how exactly this guy is going to pay for it between tennats, during renovations, etc.
And you thought pushing teens credit cards was bad... this guy could loose it all, and he cant work for food if it all dont work out.
I smell a Misselling lawsuit five years down the track.
Very smelly indeed
I smell decomposition for that guy in five years down the track!
What are the banks thinking lending a 102 year old, already on 'borrowed' time, 200K?!
The truely terrible thing I would suppose is when this newly financed property developer shifts off this moral coil it'll be his nearest and dearest losing out as most of his assets will be seized by the bank to cover the cost of the mortgage!
Well Done Old Boy
You can't take it with you when you go so ...
..Go owing a fortune.
The lender will be able to foreclose and make a profit too.
Hmmm, what would he do with the profits from his business anyway ?
Retire in his OLD age ?
Where's the problem?
What's the issue? The mortgage is going for a rental property. Income will be provided by the rent (which should be at least 1.25 times the mortgage payments to cover void periods). If the mortgage is unsustainable, the rental property can be sold in order to redeem the mortgage. It doesn't affect his own property.
The issue would be if there was a property crash, and the rental property was left with negative equity. However, that is an issue with the buy to let market as a whole. Assuming property continues with its mad growth, it is more likely that heirs are left with an asset than a debt.
Revokable Living Trust
If he's smart he'll put his heirs on the deed as part of the Revokable Living Trust. Don't know how that would work in the UK but the whole idea is that he would have the heirs as co-owners of his assets including this rental property. Upon his death they would then be the owners of the property and owe the mortgage amount, which, if this is a good investment, would be amply covered by the cost of the rental fees charged to the renters. It could be a fantastic supplemental income for him in his last years and leave a tidy monthly amount to his heirs after his death as well. Yes there will be a debt involved, but the overall effect is monthly profit and growing equity. I approve.
