UBC Okanagan Heat Women's Volleyball Golden AgainThe UBC Okanagan Heat women's volleyball team, led by Championship MVP Alex Basso, is the 2010 CCAA National Champion after winning the final against the Collège Francis-Xavier Garneau Élans in three sets Sunday evening in Gatineau, Quebec. The Quebec City team put up a good fight, but the attacks came from everywhere from the Okanagan squad. The Heat were impressive and put on a
show that will not be forgotten for quite some time, said head coach Steve Manuel.
Setter Caitlin Nyhus (Penticton, BC) delivered the goods and her hitters responded, peppering the FX Garneau defense with powerful attacks. Championship MVP Alex Basso (Kelowna, BC) was good for 12 kills, and Leigh Dreher (Prince George, BC) added 11 kills. Sara Zaytsoff (Langley, BC) added 12 points of her own with 4 blocks and 8 kills, including a kill score the championship point.
Kirsten Lawson (Brandon, MB) had 6 kills and 2 blocks for points, Kaylan Gouldsborough Summerland, BC) chipped in 5 kills. Libero rookie sensation Lenai Schmidt (Vernon, BC) was spectacular on defense and passed amazingly throughout the match and was the only libero selected to the all star teams.
It was a back-and-forth battle in the first set, but FX Garneau were able to pull ahead midway through. When the Heat were down 14-18 in the first set, Leigh Dreher went back to the service line and run off 4 straight serves to tie things up, then Alycia Bradstock came into the match at 19-19 and served 5 straight points.
UBC Okanagan came up with a couple of big plays that turned the tide for the rest of the match as they went on an 11-3 run to take the first set 25-21. The Heat jumped out to a couple of quick leads in the second set and never looked back from there winning 25-19 and convincingly in the 3rd set 25-12.
"FX Garneau is a great team and they played great tonight," said Manuel. "They pushed us from the first serve and never quit but our crew played like true champions tonight and would not be denied this title. Our passing and defense was stellar which allowed us to run an almost unstoppable offense, add in some clutch serving and that was the recipe for success.
"I could not be prouder of the 12 athletes and my coaching staff of Karl Enns, Becki Kosinski and Jackie Wong for buying into what we had planned for the season and believing every step of the way that we would repeat as National Champions," said Manuel.
This concludes a great weekend of quality matches and a top-notch organization for the Cégep de l'Outaouais, who hosted a national event for the first time.
All-Stars for the tournament
First team: Catherine Laurin (FX Garneau), Eve Thibault (FX Garneau),

Oriented Policing Services
U.S. Department of Justice
For Immediate Release—October 3, 2002
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) today announced $7.6 million in grants that will help build trust and mutual respect between police and citizens. The grants are being awarded to 60 local law enforcement agencies, and 42 state associations of police chiefs and sheriffs.
COPS' Creating a Culture of Integrity initiative provides up to $125,000 to law enforcement agencies to develop new, community-conscious policies and practices regarding traffic stops, the use of force by officers, civilian review boards, community-representative recruitment and hiring, and other issues that affect public confidence in law enforcement.
"COPS is pleased to join today's grantees in taking an aggressive stance on matters of police integrity," said COPS Director Carl R. Peed. "By successfully pursuing today's grants, these agencies have exhibited a sincere commitment to ethical practices and furthering police-community trust. These grantees are acting independently to ensure their policies are in the best interest of the communities they serve."
In addition to benefiting the jurisdictions that will receive funding, the grants are intended to foster promising practices and lessons learned that can be used by other law enforcement agencies. At the end of the grant period, each grantee will submit a report detailing its experiences. These reports will become the basis for promising police integrity practices.
Since 1995, COPS has invested $10 billion to advance community policing, including grants awarded to 12,900 state and local law enforcement agencies. For additional information about COPS Integrity initiative and to learn which law enforcement agencies received grants, visit COPS website at www.cops.usdoj.gov.

Given the increased complications junior officers face and what was seen as a gradual deterioration in moral and ethical standards of behavior within government (the nation was then living through the Iran-Contra scandal), the Class of 1948 strongly felt that the Academy graduates should have the best foundation possible in the humanities, government, integrity, ethics, and political judgment. Furthermore, they felt that Academy graduates must be outstanding citizens, as well as good officers and leaders.
In the spring of 1989, a committee composed of members of the Class of '48 recommended an annual Ethics Forum be established to supplement the honor education of the Corps of Cadets. The Forum was to be something extra, an enhancement to the excellent academic and professional training programs already in place. On Sept. 7, 1989, the Class of 1948 established an endowment fund, "To provide a source of investment income to stimulate and enrich the training of the Corps of Cadets in good citizenship and ethics." The first Ethics Forum was held in 1990.
After their 45th class reunion in the fall of 1993, the Class of '48 expressed pleasure that the Ethics Forum program appeared to be well established and that it was making a positive contribution within the total framework of the cadet education and development. The Forum provides cadets with a non-academic setting in which they can discuss ethical issues and situations, and with an opportunity to hear notable speakers talk about the ethical issues and situations which they have faced. It thus reinforces the importance of ethics in their professional lives, as well as giving them an opportunity to develop the ethical decision-making skills they will need as Coast Guard officers.
In 2000, two events occurred: the Class of 1957 joined in a partnership with the Class of 1948 and the Ethics Forum now involved a full day stand-down by the entire Corps of Cadets. The Class of '57 Endowment Committee Chair had said to his classmates; "This is a good thing to do" and they agreed. The stand-down now required participation by the Corps as a whole each year for the first time. Since the spring of 2004, the Ethics Forum has grown to include topics such as ethics in academia, broadcasting, business, engineering, environment, finance, government, journalism, leadership, medicine, military, sports, terror management, and water resource management.
In 2007, the Class of '57 renamed their Endowment. It is now The Class of 1957 Admiral J William Kime Ethics Endowment to honor the memory of their classmate and 19th Commandant of the Coast Guard. A large inscribed stone was presented to Mrs Kime by Admiral Matteson '57 during the 18th Ethics Forum Keynote evening. Mrs Kime was deeply touched by Bill's classmate's thoughtfulness, Today the inscribed stone is in the ground on the Alumni Center patio facing the football field and is surrounded by donor bricks. That same evening Admiral Wetmore '48 recognized Captains Virge Rinehart and Bob Bosnak who had made very generous gifts to their class Endowment before they died. The Admiral spoke of their character and competence, and their success in life in and outside the Coast Guard. They loved their Coast Guard and their Academy, and lived the ethical message that the Forum teaches.
Over the years, the keynote speakers have included the Honorable Eugene R. Sullivan, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, Brigadier General Malham Wakin (USAF, Ret.), General Perry Smith (USA, Ret.), Dr. William Bennett, General Charles C. Krulak (USMC, Ret.), FBI Director Louis Freeh, General Claudia Kennedy (USA, retired), Amy Comstock, Director of the Office of Government Ethics, Robert (Bob) Lutz, Vice Chairman of General Motors Product Development and Admiral Robert Kramek USCG(Ret.) the 20th Commandant of the US Coast Guard. On the morning following the keynote address, invited professionals with expertise in a number of areas join in a day of panel discussions and in small group classroom discussions throughout the Academy. Ethical issues they confront in their daily duties are addressed. Discussions are vibrant and vital to the Forum's success.
For the cadets, the Ethics Forum serves as an opportunity to learn from speakers with a wide breadth of real world experience and training, as well as examine moral dilemmas in greater detail. Overall the experience has a positive effect on both the Corps of Cadets and those who visit, giving all a chance to learn from each other, asking and answering the hard questions about morality.

Emery Council person Corinne Dalton held an informational public meeting prior to the regular town council meeting. "I want to explain the conditional use policy which is being presented to the town council," said Dalton. The proposed conditional use policy lists each zone in the town and what items are permitted and what is not permitted.
There are four zones in Emery, residential, rural residential, light industrial, and commercial. The commercial zone is along the entire length of Main Street through town, the residential zone is off Main Street to near the edges of the town, the light industrial zone is on the outskirts and the rural residential zone is the areas around the town where citizens live on farm lands.
Dalton explained the types of buildings this proposed policy will allow. A single family residence of typical construction will be allowed in the residential zone without a conditional use permit, unlike an apartment building or a church which will need a conditional use permit. Some types of businesses may be allowed in a residential zone.
"I think this new policy will save many problems in the future," said Dalton. She also stated if anything arises in the future which falls outside of the guidelines, amendments may be made.
Following some discussion and clarification of the proposed policy, the Emery Town council accepted the policy. A copy of the map noting the zones in Emery and the conditional use policy may be seen at the town hall during business hours.
In other business conducted by the Emery Town Council, it was approved to repeal three previous resolutions concerning utility fees in the town, and replace those with a new resolution which combines and defines the fees charged by the town for utility hookups. This new resolution sets standard fees for those hookups.
Mayor Mistie Christiansen announced some progress on the Muddy Creek desiltification project. Help is coming from Senator Bob Bennett's office, and grant money from the Army Corps of Engineers. The grant will be a 75 percent grant for the project which is estimated at $1.8 million. Mayor Christiansen informed the council the remaining 25 percent will come from the canal company and others.
Emery fire chief Nash Roberts announced the burn window. It will be from April 12-May 11, and residents wishing to burn must first get a burn permit from the town hall.

Physical activity is associated with many health benefits and is an important part of any healthy lifestyle. For individuals with type 1 diabetes, exercise provides additional benefits—and its own set of risks. In this article, we'll explore the health benefits, potential risks, and general guidelines that people with type 1 diabetes should keep in mind when starting and maintaining an exercise program. *Please note that the information in this article is intended to enhance discussion with your physician. It is NOT a substitute for talking to your health care provider before you begin an exercise program, or if you experience any problems in connection with exercising.
Exercising on a regular basis can improve the sensitivity and number of insulin receptors in the body, according to the American Council on Exercise; this in turn helps train your muscles to use insulin better. These improvements in insulin utilization may lead to a decrease in insulin requirements for some individuals, but because people with type 1 diabetes are unable to make any insulin, no amount of exercise will ever eliminate the need for insulin injections.
People with type 1 diabetes are at an increased risk for heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases, but regular exercise can help reduce these risks. Consistent physical activity has been proven to raise HDL (good) cholesterol, lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, and reduce triglycerides in the bloodstream. Physical activity also improves blood flow, increases your heart's pumping power, and reduces blood pressure.
It is worth noting that exercise has not consistently been shown to improve blood glucose control in people with type 1 diabetes. However, given its other numerous benefits, exercise is still an important part of living well with type 1 diabetes.

I never expected that Obito could do this, especially in a condition so close to death. I mean, when it took three days for Akatsuki to seal just one Bijuu, its hard to grasp that Obito could do it instantly.
None the less, I dont believe this means that Obito will be the final villain.
A likely scenario is that Obito did actually become the Juubi's Jinnchuriki, but might have the Juubi pulled out of him by the Soul removing Rinnengan Jutsu (forgot name).
A somewhat likely scenario is since the juubi is now within a Jinnchuriki, perhaps Naruto will Talk no jutsu it like the other Bijuu?

Move over, Judy Chicago!
While you were busy rubbing up against undergrads who rock BO like its spring Givenchy at the latest apartment opening, What's the T? was doing rigorous "research" on how the other half lives. The half that attends a monthly live talk show catered by a guest chef in a West Loop winery.
The April 1st Dinner Party featured actually funny stand-up from Brian Babylon and made me fall in love with Peggy Macnamara. The pork chop was bangin' and the food was totally worth the price of the ticket alone.
Unsurprisingly, What's the T? is particularly star-struck by the inclusion of Jordan, the creator of CandidCandace.com and a social columnist for the Trib at the May 6th installment of the live broadcast event.
Writing gossip and being gossip are usually considered mutual exclusive endeavors, but Candace Jordan has managed to work both sides of the column. Jordan was named playboy bunny of the year in 1976 and currently spends her time covering the juiciest events in town. Michael Jordan's wedding much?
Buy tickets for the May 6th Dinner Party featuring Candace Jordan, Lin Brehmer of WXRT, and Nick Bowling, Associate Director of the Timeline Theatre. Hosted by Elysabeth Alfano at City Winery.

Abbreviated Sentences
It would be tough to spot a raccoon coat at the Harvard-Yale game these days — sweaters and hoodies seem to have taken over as outerwear of choice — but there is still a place for a good watch under all that polar fleece. Wearing your team colors telegraphs allegiance, but a timepiece says so much more. One flash of a sweatshirt cuff, and the owner gives an idea of what he's been up to since graduation — and he can still pretend he's just clocking the all-important final few seconds of the game.
Every year ranks of blue- or crimson-clad students, faculty, and alumni celebrate a rivalry that dates back to 1875. At the game itself, knit scarves from J. Press worn with Brooks Brothers navy blazers and khakis still fill the stands, though there are more Converse sneakers these days than penny loafers.

Skip to comments.The Senate should go nuclear
Posted on 05/09/2005 7:13:14 AM PDT by smoothsailing
The Senate should go nuclear
Star Parker
May 9, 2005
The use of the Senate filibuster to block floor votes on judicial nominees, as Democrats have been doing, is a distortion of good government in the United States. I fully endorse Senate Republican leader Bill Frist's pushing the "nuclear" button to change Senate rules so this can no longer be done.
Even if you buy the argument that the filibuster is an important procedure to protect minority interests in the Senate, this still should not apply to judicial nominations.
Why? >p>Because the nominating process is fundamentally different from the legislative process.
The checks and balances and institutional bias toward deliberation in government is critical in our free country. Although, as result, we rarely get legislation that makes anyone completely happy, this is the price of freedom and a participatory democracy. We have a process of give-and-take and compromise.
But nominees up for confirmation cannot be put into the same kind of sausage-making machine that produces legislation. A controversial bill can be debated, amended, tweaked and, yes, filibustered. There always remains the opportunity for another nip and tuck. If the president doesn't like what ultimately gets sent to him, he can veto it and then Congress still gets another vote on the vetoed bill.
Unlike legislation, we can't take human beings apart and then put them back together to create a new product that will pass the consensus test. Either you take them as they are or reject them. Nominations, then, that pass out of committee should be submitted for a simple up-or-down floor vote.
Furthermore, legislative initiatives are capricious. We don't have to have new bills. However, we do have to have the federal bench staffed. The president has an obligation to nominate judges and the Senate has an obligation to vote on the nominees.
It seems pretty clear to me that the point of the process of advice and consent in the Senate, which defines its review of the president's nominees, is to ensure that we have qualified candidates. It should not be about having senators insert personal political opinions regarding a nominee's views on particular subject matter.
By definition, because it is the responsibility of the president to nominate judges, and because the people of the nation democratically elect the president, it is only reasonable to expect the judges that get nominated to reflect the worldview of our president.
The American people, last November, elected a Republican president and a Republican Senate. If we don't believe that the American people know what they are doing when they go to the polls, our way of life is in bad shape. We have to assume that a Republican-dominated federal government reflects a conservatively oriented electorate.
It is only logical to expect that judicial nominees will reflect this orientation and we can only conclude that this is the result of a healthy democracy. Procedural games that undermine this process reflect a sick democracy.
The Janice Rogers Brown nomination is a good case in point.
There is no conceivable argument that can be made that she is not an eminently qualified candidate for a seat on a federal court. She is an associate justice on the California Supreme Court and was re-elected to this position by a compelling 76 percent of the vote. Her background before this position is stellar, including stints as a law-school professor, legal-affairs secretary to then-California Gov. Pete Wilson, an associate justice on a California district court of appeals, and a practicing attorney.
On a personal note, Brown is a black woman who is a role model for both blacks as well as whites. Her life is proof that achievement in America is the result of character and hard work. She grew up in rural Alabama, the daughter of sharecroppers. As a single mother, she worked her way through Cal State and UCLA law school.
Don't the Democrats allege to be the party looking out for the interests of the common folks? How in the world does this claim wash with Democratic opposition to Brown's nomination to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia?
The answer is that Democrats are not for folks of humble origins making it in America if those folks happen to turn out to be conservatives, as Brown is.

That would be tough on
our fine DC Freepers, but
would solve some problems . . .
Yea yea yea -- by the time they do so, we'll all be be 99 years old...
NO. Why? Because its not Constitutional to filibuster nominees. So if 20 years from now, this is used against our interests, that's the way it works. At least the opposition will be following the Constitution...
I hate term "go nuclear". That term is used by the left to make us look like we are attempting to circumvent the law.
We ought to just call it the "constitutional option". That's what it is.
We ought to just call it the "constitutional option". That's what it is.
Most certainly. Given that, get with it GOP, and make it happen -- b****slap the obstructionist Dems! HARD!
I think the Dems started out playing this as a game. They are seeing that abortion is not the "sure vote" it was before people began being honest about the idea of killing babies in the womb. The Pledge issue has been played out and people are again beginning to wear the badges of their religion.....just the opposite of what the Dems intended. Just imagine losing an election over moral issues...just imagine!!
Agree completely.
It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn the term was coined by a Democrat. As a metaphor "going nuclear" has about as many negative connotations as you can imagine.
Without repeating all the arguments for demanding a 'straight-up vote"--a democratic process, by the way--or all the quotes from these same Democrats from the mid-`90s, when they wanted a vote, before the "nuclear option", suffice to say that those who control the language control the debate.
You must be a youngun or your powers of "recall" are fading.
Just what to hell do you think we have been experiencing for the past 25 years with the activist liberal judiciary which have turned our Constitution on its head?
Geez, give me a break about what happens when (or if) we become the minority party again.
UNLESS we get some more conservative judges, NOW, it WON'T matter what happens in 25 years!!!
Janice Rogers Brown was re-elected to the California State Supreme Court with 76% of the vote. California, one of the blue-est states! Yet according to Chuckie and Dickie she is 'out of the mainstream'! Booshwa!
Doesn't matter. We are talking about changing a Senate rule, not amending the Constitution. There is no Constitutional requirement that a judical nominee needs a super-majority. If the Senate Democrats are allowed to get away with this, we can forget about getting any kind of strict-constructionist on the judiciary. Might as well let Schumer and company submit to the President a pick-list consisting of whom they would approve.
It strokes my memory that the term "go nuclear" regarding this topic, originally referred to the tantrum the dems were promising if the Republicans were to go through with the veto restoration. It was the dems and their sycophants in the press who inverted the meaning.
They (the dems) didn't care about minority interests when the Republicans were in the minority, so why should the Republicans care about them now?..................
I'm sick of this. Two years floating the trial baloon is enough. The GOP should either pull the trigger or admit defeat.
My senators are being deprived of their right to vote on these nominees. Let them vote to represent me.
My senators are Chuckie and Hillary!.
"I wonder if this will come back and bite us in the ass twenty years from now?"
Some Democrats asked the same question 20 years ago.
Maybe not.
Maybe instead of trying to staff it or pack it we should just starve it to death.
Just kiddin'...of course ;-)
I kinda like calling it the "Byrd Precedent". My lefty aquaintances get real upset when I use that term.
We would have to move the D.C. Chapter to a safe and secret "undisclosed location".
The only thing that will bite us in the ass is when the Democrats, the party that invented "Borking" and is the first party to EVER routinely filibuster judicial nominees, themselves go nuclear twenty years from now and laugh right in our faces because we failed to do so. Now THAT is what I call coming back to "bite us in the ass".
It is my opinion that Frist knows an opening is about to occur in the Supreme Court, and he is working to do this before that happens.
I certainly hope you are right! It needs to be fixed.
More useful to make a general point of the Dems preference for undemocratic means, and their insistence on pushing their own marginal viewpoints.
The Dems have perversely and desperately embraced the anti-democratic nature of their scheme by trying to portray themselves as some kind of oppressed minority in the Senate. Take 'em at their own words - the Senate is no place for minorities to take the day, and that is an easy argument to make. But once again, (like the war in Iraq) the Repubs fail to rely on a simple principled message, but get bogged down in arcane rules and technical details which take them away from the sustance of the issue, and get them sidetracked over irrelevancies.
The lame Republicans probably believe the Dem spin more than their own constituents do. All it would take is a confident consistent attitude of 'we won, you lost, the American people rejected you and your approach, now get out of their way', but we are talking about Republican Senators here, so I will dispense with the fantasy.
Skull Island? We could
run that place right, and train Kong
just to attack 'Rats . . .

The Work of Art
It has always seemed to me that the central activity of humankind is art, that our common job consists of fitting each and every one of our unique and individual selves into a whole life and landscape, into our communities, into our common stories. http://www.theworkofart.org (Irish pun intended) features some essays about that work — the day-to-day making and fitting together of whatever parts and pieces that come to hand, to make beauty. Like so much of industrial and post-industrial life, art suffers from fragmentation, isolation, separation between self and community. And artists have had little choice but to accept the terms they've been given — to "be an artist" you have to make it pay. So artists either have to work for wealth and power, or they have to work for advertisers, entertainers, and various purveyors of lies or inanity. But real art — from washing the dishes to hoeing the beans — as well as the painting and drawing and sculpting — requires celebration and sharing of common beauties. Success comes not in the form of money, or fame, or status, but in the continued life of all those various beauties that we no longer know, and that we can't, perhaps, understand: the beauty of life itself; the miracles of sun, moon, and earth; night and day; stars and seasons, and the utter uniqueness of our small blue and green planet. Such beauty only makes sense when shared. That, to me, is the primary and ultimate motive for art. Wealth, power, markets, or even ballots make lots of money, noise, and mayhem, but only art makes beauty. Essays will be posted in order, as formatting gets figured out and as time allows. It's a work-in-progress, so comments are welcome, here or there!

An ambitious attempt to sue Fred Goodwin and other former executives of Royal Bank of Scotland, as well as the bank itself, got over the start line yesterday when proceedings were issued in the High Court.
The RBOS Shareholder Action Group, which is seeking up to £4 billion in damages, said that it had successfully issued proceedings against Mr Goodwin, as well as Sir Tom McKillop, the former chairman; Johnny Cameron, the former investment banking chief; and Guy Whittaker, the former finance director.

Boy Scouts Gear Stolen from Houston Co. Church | News
Local Boy Scout leaders say they couldn't believe their eyes: Someone stole a trailer full of their camping gear from the church where they meet.
For the last 13 years, Boy Scout Troop 127 has been sponsored by Andrew United Methodist Church in Kathleen, and for as long, they've kept a trailer of their camping supplies around the back. Church leaders kept their own trailer right beside it.
Both were gone Monday evening when the scouts tried to do an inventory before their next trip.
"It took a while to sink in," says Joe Craft, Troop 127 Scoutmaster.
At first, he assumed someone from the church had moved it.
"We expected to find it around the side of another building," Craft says.
Steve Geeker, Troop 127 Committee Chair, says he thinks the thieves used two trucks to get both trailers at the same time.
The theft won't stop Scouts from making this month's scheduled trip to the Appalachian Trail, but Geeker estimates the loss of the trailer and its equipment amounts to about $15,000 the troop doesn't have.
So this weekend, Geeker and others plan to pass out flyers at pawn shops and flea markets, appealing for help.
"The goal is to recover or find one or two items and then backtrack to find everything else," he said.
Some of the younger Scouts don't know yet because the theft wasn't discovered until the end of their meeting. Those who found out were shaken.
"It's just disbelief. How could someone do that?" Craft said of the scouts' response.
Geeker says he's still surprised that someone would "come to a church and take a trailer that's marked with Boy Scout logos."
But even in this rough patch, Craft says he expects the Scouts will learn something valuable.
"It's a leadership challenge for some of the boys," he says. "Now they have to answer, 'What are we going to do next?'"
(An earlier version of this story incorrectly called the church Saint Andrews Methodist. We regret the error.)

Zoom Swimmin Super Fluke
Zoom took one of its most popular and effective fishing lures and added a swimming paddle tail. The Zoom Swimming Super Fluke also features a new formulation and enough bulk to cast it country mile (even weightless). The extremely soft plastic allows the boot tail to impart a tantalizing kicking action, and because of its streamlined design, it still works great around vegetation and timber. Rig it on a weightless or weighted swimbait hook depending on what portion of the water column you plan to attack, and like the original, it can also be rigged in a variety of additional effective presentations. Excellent for schooling bass or as a search tool when you are trying to locate fish, the Zoom Swimming Super Fluke is available in a variety of colors to match the forage in your local waters.

Comments: Awsome bait as are all most all zoom baits at a great price. Keep up the good work. About the packaging, keep it the way it is. Its keeping the price down. You go to the preformed packaging and the price point is no longer there. The amount a person has to straighten is so minimal its a non issue.
From: Cory: Mandan, ND 2/13/16
Comments: These are among the first plastic lures to EVER work for me. I had lost faith that I wasted almost 70 bucks on lures and tackle but it finally paid off today and I hammered a nice 2.8lb bass at 15 inches on the Rage Craw. I had 2 other bass explode all over my Superfluke on California 420 but they never fully commited, just swiped it. I also had a Northern Pike absolutely NAIL my Superfluke. It still came out in one piece. Just tells you how durable it is. Very nice day of fishing and nice plastic baits!
From: Braden: Monticello, MN 8/27/15
Comments: Went night fishing with the swimming super flukes in perl & me & my sister both caught 7 nice sized bass we where fishing it weightless on a 3/0 wide gap kinda swimming it on top & the blow ups where unreal and dip in boiling water to straighten the tails out
From: Tim: NJ 8/4/15
Comments: These baits are my swim jig trailers and some people say that the tails are messed up sometimes, but I have used many packs, and I have never had a problem.
From: Mitch: MN 7/7/15
Comments: This is one of my favorite swim jig trailers! Watermelon Red then dip the tail in Chartreuse and game on.
From: Justin: Redmond, OR 11/19/14
Comments: Haven't caught fish with them yet but I can't wait to! Yah they come a bit bent, but all you have to do is dip the tail in boiling water for ten seconds and straighten it out again. The swimming action is great, it wiggles and the tail has a good paddle to it. I rig it on a 3/0 offset wide gap, with a little split shot in front, gives it a little wiggle on the fall. Overall a good bait in my opinion
From: Chris: Oklahoma City, OK 8/15/14
Comments: These are great, I was actually suprised as to just how good these work as there are more realistic looking swimbaits on the market. What sets these apart is how the tails wiggle at the slowest retrieve speeds unlike other swimbaits. Also the durability is pretty darn good. Yes the nose can rip, but just tear it off and rehook and you will get a few more fish out of it. I caught 11 bass off of one jr pearl swimmin fluke the other day. The jr version works perfect with a 2/0 ewg hook & 1/16 oz weight texas rigged.
From: John: Oskhosh, WI 8/7/14
Comments: Packed horribly wrong. Each tail is bent. I would rather spend my money buying a swimbait that is packaged correctly and will give me straight tails out of the pack. Zoom....come on! Every time I see these on the shelves, same issue.
From: Jay6: USA 7/25/14
Comments: Very effective! I do alot of fishing in both fresh and salt and these are very effective for fishing eelgrass beds in harbors, I use the 3" swimming super-flukes T-rigged, with a 1/16 oz bullethead, and a 1/0 EWG hook. IMO these outperform all other swimbaits in this size, especially the wildly-acclaimed Hammerheads. Freshwater-Albino in shad-populated waters, baby bass, smokin shad, and junebug absolutely murder the largemouth! Saltwater- White ice and white Pearl are deadly for California Halibut, while watermelon magic, and watermelonseed slay the spotties and surfperch! Try this- T-rig on a 1/0 hook, again, use a 1/16 oz bullethead, peg the weight against the nose of the fluke, and slow roll in in the surf for massive Barred surfperch!
From: Marcus: Anaheim, CA 6/18/14
Comments: Used this bait for the first time this past December. Put a white pearl on a 4/0 Lazer Sharp EWG hook and fished it weightless in a shallow grass filled lake. Swam it, jerked it, and caught four bass (biggest was 20") and three pickerel. Had a number of hits where the fish were grabbing the tail. Can't wait for the weather to warm up a little and try it again.
From: Dave: Virginia Beach, VA
Comments: I use this bait from early(february)in the year to spring time.I like to rig it weightless using only a very small swivel with an 10 inch leader and only a 2/0 hook. Killer set up for early prespawn bass. White colors... to watermelons, you simply put em in the boat with this!! Its one of the deadlest baits out there.
From: Michael: Ripley, TN
Comments: This is an amazing bait. I have the 5in version in Watermelon Magic. This bait rolls from side to side just like a crankbait. It also has very good tail action on the fall. I fished it with a weighted swimbait hook and it looked amazing. Caught two 2lbers and missed a 3lber. Very nice bait.
From: Ethan: Charlottesville, VA
Comments: Great bait to use at night. Work them slowly with a steady retrieve and hang on!
From: Clay: Crossville, TN
Comments: Those that haven't tried this bait don't know how great it is. First time out, slapped it on a 5/0 weighted swimbait hook and caught a 41.5" muskie on the first cast. Then caught a bunch of bass after that. Great lure! Tail action is awesome!
From: Thor: MN
Comments: Owner 1/8 oz 4/0 belly weighted swimbait hook + baitfish swimmin super fluke = goodnight!!!!!!
From: Shazam: USA
Comments: This works well with a swim jig
From: Chris: Ohio
Comments: CAN U SAY BAMA RIG!!!
From: Trevor
Comments: i was kinda skeptical with this swimbait because ill i used before was gambler big EZ's but i caught some pretty good fish off this bait and im very impressed
From: Jacob: Lakeland, FL
Comments: Zoom Flukes always catch fish no matter how tough the conditions. The California 420 is a deadly weapon I always keep in the arsenal. Day or night, murky or clear water, the California 420 always gets me on fish!
From: Jin: Southern California
Comments: i think its a great bait but i would love to see zoom bring this bait to a biger size like they did with there flukes.
From: Jase: FL
Comments: i really like these baits i have had great sucsess with them fishing them on the outside weed edges. i have on e tied on my 6,6" med hvy vendetta with a abu garcia revo sx with 65 pound power pro braid, they will always have a place in my tackle bag
From: Jared: USA
Comments: Good alternate choice to a normal tube paddletail swimmer. Had good success slow rolling in clear water. Two thumbs up
From: Ceaser: CA Delta
Comments: I like the bait, but it is packaged very poorly. Tails are bent and will need to be dipped in hot water to be straightened enough to fish with. Would like to see Zoom folks put these in a clam shell to preserve the shape.
From: Alan: Adairsville, GA
Comments: These new flukes are the truth!! Bass Love'EM!! I got pack in WMR and caught fish everytime I used them until I ran out. Actually I still have one tied on that I landed a 5lb'er with earlier this morning. They hold up about as good as a normal fluke.
From: James: Orange Park, FL
Comments: Just bought some. They look great, but the jr. size is smaller than you would think.They are only like 3"
From: Dakota: Monteagle, TN
Comments: These baits are so good and versatile. The tail is the differrence and Disco Violt works well in all colors of water and even at night. You can rig them anyway that you like and there is noway to fish them incorrectly! I would like to see a few more colors such as black and blue, black and gold and solid black.
From: David: Indy

Lock Haven University Unveils Portrait at Homecoming Weekend
October 21, 2013 - As part of Lock Haven University's Homecoming activities, a special portrait by Dr. May White Dwyer was unveiled as a tribute to Robert and Dolores Lynch. The painting will be permanently on display in the Stevenson Library in the second floor Media Center.
On hand were a number of former students of the social work program, Kappa Alpha Psi, and the Black Student Union. Each of the students offered stories of how the Lynches provided them with the basis to succeed in all areas of their lives. President Michael Fiorentino, Jr., commented "together Bob and Dolores Lynch made this community a better place and touched the lives of all those they encountered. They both positively influenced generations of students and they encouraged their colleagues to do more to serve others." President Emeritus Craig Dean Willis was also on hand to assist with the unveiling and praised to the work of the Lynches, providing an overview of their accomplishments.
Dr. Robert Lynch served as Assistant to the President and Director of Social Equity during his time at LHU from 1969 to1998, as well as Director of the LHU Community Choirs and Orchestra. He retired in 1998 as Administrator Emeritus. Early in his career, Dr. Lynch founded the Community Orchestra and Chorus, acting as the conductor and director for both groups. In 1970 he founded the Pennsylvania Black Conference on Higher Education, and established the annual Robert D. Lynch Student Leadership Development Institute to provide additional leadership opportunities to students.
As a Rotarian, Mr. Lynch served as president of the Rotary Club of Lock Haven and Governor of Rotary International District 737, as well as many other supporting roles. Dr. Lynch passed away on March 25, 2010.
Dolores Cruse Lynch began teaching at LHU in 1969 and served as the Director of the Social Work Program from 1970 through 1999. Mrs. Lynch actively obtained and maintained accreditation for the social work program through the Council on Social Work Education. Mrs. Lynch served in various capacities on the Lycoming-Clinton County Office of the Aging Advisory Council, the Community Nursing Services Board of Directors, and the Lycoming/ Clinton County Mental Health/Mental Retardation.
She received Assistant Professor Emerita status from the Sociology/Anthropology/Social Work/Geography Department upon retirement in 1999. Mrs. Lynch continues to live in the Clinton County area and actively serves at in the St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church in Bellefonte.
The artist, Dr. May White Dyer, is a distinguished Professor Emerita from the Art Department. She taught from 1974 to 1996. Dr. Dyer served as the department chair, and boldly advocated the promotion of the arts in our community. The University is home to many of Dr. Dyer's artistic renderings of the beauty of our area. Dr. Dyer currently resides in Lubbock, Texas.

An Interview with Andy Gerst
Dunlop Black Widow is a shaped co-polyester designed with above average comfort and liveliness for the breed. To see what this string has to offer, we had TW playtester Andy Gerst hit with it for several weeks. Here is what he said.
What string do you use most often?
I typically use a stiffer, shaped polyester string, like a Volkl Cyclone or Babolat RPM Blast. I tend to like a thinner 17 or 18 gauge as well. I will string it between 50 and 52 lbs most often, depending on the playing conditions and how I'm feeling.
How did Black Widow compare?
Black Widow certainly delivered a deadly bite! With its multi-sided design, Black Widow grabbed the ball as well as Cyclone, RPM Blast or any other shaped string, and offered exceptional spin potential. However, what sets it apart from other polyesters is how much softer and more powerful it is. Our TW University lab tests show that Black Widow is one of the softer polyester strings available, and I could confirm that even after my very first hitting session. The stringbed felt very lively at impact, and the ball seemed to explode off the stringbed, making it extremely comfortable. Whereas some polys feel dead, you can definitely feel the ball jumping off the stringbed with this one. I wasn't used to all the added power at first, but after tinkering with the tension a bit I was able to dial it in and get Black Widow to respond the way I wanted.
Did you have to make any adjustments to get the most out of this string?
I tried it at all different tensions and found Black Widow actually felt the best about 3-5lbs tighter than normal. Since the string is so soft and so powerful compared to my typical polys I had to go up in tension to get my desired amount of control. When strung too loose this string was too powerful, and almost felt a bit mushy at impact. Once I jacked the tension up I got the crispness and control back, while maintaining the lively stringbed. If you're new to polyesters you should stay at the tension you're at. If you're a polyester player looking for a softer poly then hike the tension up about 4lbs and it will feel great!
What stoke style or type of player would you recommend this to?
Since this is a polyester string it's for intermediate to advanced players with longer, faster strokes. However, since Black Widow is so soft it's easier on the arm and thus more accessible than most other polyesters. This would be a great "starter poly" if you have never tried them before and want to see what all the fuss is about. It would also be great for the developing junior players who are getting bigger, stronger and more powerful, and want to ease their way into switching over to polyester string. Furthermore, anyone who has used polyesters for a while and is just looking for a softer, crisper feel should definitely give Black Widow a try!
Can you summarize your likes and dislikes.
If you're looking for a soft polyester that still grabs the ball and offers great spin potential, look no further. It's a super lively stringbed, it's really soft and comfortable at impact, and the ball jumps off the racquet with power and spin. Remember, I had to go up in tension about 4lbs to get enough control because of how powerful the string was. I also found that since the string was so soft the tension maintenance wasn't great, and that it lasted maybe a week and a half before the strings got mushy. Overall, I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10.

"These are adorable and a comfortable flat to pair with skinny jeans. Got lots of compliments on them! I don't see them holding up very well to inclimate weather (aka snow) as I think they'll be a bit slippery in wet climates. But otherwise I love them!"

Sooooo COMFY!
"I am so happy i made this polka dot purchase! These shoes really make me smile and every time i wear them i get lovely compliments. They are VERY comfortable with a durable rubber sole and cushion-like padding in the interior. They tend to run a bit narrow but can be stretched out with wear and still manage to maintain its durability. You may need to break them in by wearing them for short spurts of time before actually being able to walk in them for long periods of time, unless you want to get a blister. Either way, once they adapt to your foot, you wont want to take them off!"

Cross Contamination. Could barely make it home... Never again will I go here
Lots of gluten free items including fish and pasta. We have been here a few times. The manager speaks with us and reviews the menu options. Last night I had a great Cesar salad and the salmon.
They have GF pasta which can be substituted in any dish and all of their sauces are thickened corn starch so they are all GF. They also have GF appetizers and cream brûlée for dessert. Probably one of the best menus in terms of options I have come across.
told them I was GF and the chef came out to talk with me. yummy crime rules for a delish dessert
9101 International Dr Ste 2400, Ste. 2400, Orlando, FL 32819-8120
Incredibly careful with your food. chef came out to talk to me about menu options and then the manager came to take my order on a giant yellow ticket that way they knew for sure it was an allergy ticket. I have a dairy allergy as well as celiac and there were many options. had veal and potatoes. was amazing. I will definitely be returning! !!
2089 W. Big Beaver Rd., Troy, MI 48084-3403
Food was good but my wife (celiac) got sick after eating here.
189 The Grove Drive Z80, Los Angeles, CA 90036-3154
Delicious food, nice atmosphere but most importantly, excellent service! A chef personally greeted me when I mentioned I was a coeliac. He took care to explain and assure me of their kitchen procedures and how they handled their gluten free dishes. They're incredibly accommodating- I even got gluten-free bread!
2500 N Mayfair Road, Wauwatosa, WI 53226-1409
Lovely atmosphere, chef came out and greeted me, assured me my food will be safe to eat, got the pesto alfredo chicken-mmmmm! Highly recommend.
600 Commons Way, Bldg. E, Bridgewater, NJ 08807-2806
Have eaten here many times and have never gotten a Celiac reaction. Most times manager or chef comes to table before I order!
160 N. Gulph Road, Suite 205, King of Prussia, PA 19406
Very accommodating for all of our gluten free needs. The chef came out to talk to us about our options, and the waiter knew what we were talking about. My sister and I both feel great after eating, which was a relief. We will definitely be coming back here again. 😀
4 Columbus Ave., Boston, MA 02116-3910
I can't say enough great things about this place! Chef came out immediately with a notepad to discuss my options and checked on me a few times after my food came out. It was amazing! And no symptoms the next day! The chefs are amazingly accommodating. Just ask to talk to one.
500 16th St Ste 150, 16th St. Mall Promenade, Denver, CO 80202-4265
The chef came out and spoke to me about my options. I went with the gluten free Alfredo and it was delicious! No side effects.
3200 Las Vegas Blvd S Ste 2144, Las Vegas, NV 89109-0722
no gluten free bread or pizza so I don't really consider that gluten free friendly
8030 Renaissance Parkway,, Suite 890, Durham, NC 27713
They made a good effort. The chef came out to recommend gluten free options and understood the importance to those with celiac. I was very impressed. But that soon turned to disappointment when I had eaten a few bites of my main dish and realized that they had put the wrong sauce on it. By then it was already too late. Just not good enough.
9101 International Dr Ste 2400, Ste. 2400, Orlando, FL 32819-8120
chef came to take if you call ahead they can make you meatballs with out bread crumbs
1847 Freedom Drive, Naperville, IL 60563
Have to change my rating because they cooked my pasta in regular pasta water twice and the reaction was TERRIBLE
1847 Freedom Drive, Naperville, IL 60563
I mentioned to the server I have celiac and the chef came out to talk to us about options. Nice touch and lets you know that they care. The GF pasta is great but you need to ask for it. We've never had any issues.
6001 W. Park Blvd, Plano, TX 75093-4301
No specific gluten free menu, but gluten free penne can be substituted for almost all pasta (not ravioli or lasagne, obviously). All proteins can be grilled instead of breaded and fried. All sauces are gluten free. Creme brûlée is gluten free and delicious. Chef came to table before we ordered to cover how gluten free meals and was comfortable with serving a celiac. Staff is knowledgeable and obviously trained. Great experience.
10367 Midtown Parkway, St. Johns Town Center, Jacksonville, FL 32246
Delicious food and almost things can be made GF. The chef even came to the table to make sure I was happy with the precautions they were taking against cross contamination. I would recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat!
2000 Route 38 Ste 1180, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002-2100
Our server sent the chef out to talk to me about the menu (babyshower). He informed me of my options, which I was very pleased with. The chicken marsala was amazing and be brought me a complimentary baked ziti! AMAZING!
1201 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107-2818
They have gluten free ziti that you can sub for most of the pasta dishes, which is nice. I ordered the vegetable primavera, and it was decent - not the best. I will try a different dish if we go back.
307 Hawthorn Center, Vernon Hills, IL 60061
I had one safe and delicious meal and then I had one bad experience where I had multiple pieces of regular noodles in my "gluten free" pasta. . . like small chunks of spaghetti and they only have gluten free penne. no thanks.
1847 Freedom Drive, Naperville, IL 60563
Chef comes to the table to talk about options and how they can customize dishes. Gf pasta is great.
2089 W. Big Beaver Rd., Troy, MI 48084-3403
Amazing experience and delicious dinner! They take Celiac disease and allergies (table next to us had a nut allergy) so seriously that the manager or chef takes your order. The manager took my order and demonstrated a real understanding of Celiac. You can ask for anything off the menu and he can immediately tell you if it can be modified for gluten free, and whether it will still taste good doing so! They have a scratch kitchen, so they make everything from scratch anyway, so they are happy to modify any dish. I opted for the gnocchi and Italian sausage dish with Vodka sauce, substituting gluten free pasta for the gnocchi. It was delicious! Being newly diagnosed with Celiac, this experience took the fear out of dining out and made me feel like I can still enjoy some of the foods I love. I will definitely be going back!!!
11800 West Broad Street, #2204, Richmond, VA 23233
Several great experiences- chef comes out and talks to you and creates a safe meal. Delicious gf pasta but no gf bread.
9101 International Dr Ste 2400, Ste. 2400, Orlando, FL 32819-8120
chef came ti the table. almost the entire menu available as GF. 5 stars.
3200 Las Vegas Blvd S Ste 2144, Las Vegas, NV 89109-0722
4 stars because I am not a pasta lover. My wife has Celiac. They have GF pasta and the chef came to our table to talk to my wife and ensure what she ordered would not make her sick. She had the Chicken Parmesan which they made using chips.
10455 NE 8th St., Bellevue, WA 98004-4346
Food was great and they were quite familiar with all the allergens and how to work around them. Some of their dishes were either already GF and others could be made GF (except the stuffed dishes). Service was very slow so if you go, expect to be there for a 2-3 hours.
4400 Ashford Dunwoody Rd., Space #3035, Atlanta, GA 30346-1513
Love this place and always accommodating.
9101 International Dr Ste 2400, Ste. 2400, Orlando, FL 32819-8120
I went here on a trip because of the EXCELLENT reviews. However, while they have GF pasta and ensure lack of cross contamination, I was brought the wrong pasta dish. I confirmed with both my waiter and the gentlemen that brought the food to me and they told me it was for sure GF. Then they came running back a minute later, after I had finally started to eat, telling me it was not! I still have three days of my trip left so we will see how I react. They were very apologetic and the manager and the chef stopped by. My meal was not charged but, as those with celiac know, nothing tastes good after knowing I had eaten "real" pasta :(
9101 International Dr Ste 2400, Ste. 2400, Orlando, FL 32819-8120
The gluten free pasta was amazing! The staff and atmosphere are also top notch! Glad they have one in my home state as well!
7875 Montgomery Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45236
Chef Karl is amazing. My favorite place to eat.
3200 Las Vegas Blvd S Ste 2144, Las Vegas, NV 89109-0722
Always great experience eating here. As soon as I told the waiter I was gluten free he sent the chef out to talk to me. All their sauces are gluten free and they have a gluten free pasta so basically just about anything can be adapted. I thought the prices were reasonable too, and great atmosphere. Definitely worth a trip
3200 Las Vegas Blvd S Ste 2144, Las Vegas, NV 89109-0722
Staff was extremely knowledgeable of Celiac disease. I ordered a custom dish, gluten free penne pasta with Alfredo and asparagus. It was absolutely delicious! The prices were also quite reasonable, my boyfriend and I spent about $50 after drinks and our meals. I would highly recommend. Excellent place to get authentic Italian food right in Vegas.
500 16th St Ste 150, 16th St. Mall Promenade, Denver, CO 80202-4265
Went her because it had high ratings on the GF app..the chef did come out and talked to me about my options but our server was completely oblivious to what Celiac Disease is...the chef made me feel like I was safe...but at 1am I was awoken by the side effects of being Glutenized...my daughter said she woke up at 2am by the side effects...I can't recommend a place that cross contaminated me...so if you read this and don't agree with my comments, please do not post that I am wrong on your post...I am a highly sensitive Celiac and have been for all my life. I am posting about my experience...which was not good! If you have ever experienced a true cross contaminated night on the bathroom floor...then you will understand what I am saying about this place...I do NOT recommend eating here and I will never go back!
2019 Post Oak Blvd, Houston, TX 77056-4401
went during restaurant week... they still accommodated our gf needs. thank you!
9101 International Dr Ste 2400, Ste. 2400, Orlando, FL 32819-8120
Service was amazing. I have celiac and the chef came out to tell me how the food would be prepared to ensure it was not cross contaminated. The flavor of the dish was absolutely fantastic.
2089 W. Big Beaver Rd., Troy, MI 48084-3403
amazing food and the entire chief special list is gluten free! It was very exciting and the food was delicious!
10300 Little Patuxent Parkway #3160, Columbia, MD 21044
I've gotten sick badly the 2 times I tried.
4400 Ashford Dunwoody Rd., Space #3035, Atlanta, GA 30346-1513
I can't say enough about this place. The chef came out to speak with me personally. She knew I felt excluded as I watched my fiancé devour delicious sourdough with butter so she brought me a complimentary Caprese salad. She said she could make any of the pastas GF for me and it would be made separately. And because it was our first time, we also received complimentary to go meals as well. They were absolutely lovely.
3200 Las Vegas Blvd S Ste 2144, Las Vegas, NV 89109-0722
GF chicken parmasean was great and huge. Made a perfect date night.
#2 The Boulevard Saint Louis, Richmond Heights, MO 63117-1122
Great experience here! My husband and I went for our anniversary and they were very helpful. The assistant manager came up to our table to talk to us about gluten free options and our server was great as well! I had the rigatoni D, and my husband had the beef medallions. As a bonus they also had gluten free rolls. I had no issues eating here and will definitely be back!
10367 Midtown Parkway, St. Johns Town Center, Jacksonville, FL 32246
I just left here, I was amazed by the service I received . The Chef came out to talk with me took her time to explain things to me, I have Celiac Disease so it was nice to receive this kind of service. My dessert was also amazing, I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
2089 W. Big Beaver Rd., Troy, MI 48084-3403
Plenty of gf options and all delicious. The chef or manager always comes over to discuss your dietary needs and makes sure you are safe.
26300 Cedar Rd. #1103, Beachwood, OH 44122-1190
I had Chicken Alfredo with gf pasta today. Not only was the good great, but the service I received from the manager Tim, chef Alex, and server Josh was exceptional as well!
1901 E. Woodfield, Schaumburg, IL 60173
Chief came out and spoke with me, very friendly, and felt safe for celiacs. Chicken Parmesan was great.
9101 International Dr Ste 2400, Ste. 2400, Orlando, FL 32819-8120
extremely gluten free friendly! they have a separate kitchen for gluten free, and the chef even came out to reassure that. great food, and great service! deff recommended! ask for paul to be your server, you won't be disappointed (:
3368 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326-1008
Very accommodating. Chef comes out and discusses options and takes order. Been there twice, Chef George then Terrence. Both very helpful.
2089 W. Big Beaver Rd., Troy, MI 48084-3403
Manager takes your order. The best way to show customers your serious about taking care of them.
2100 Annapolis Mall, Annapolis, MD 21401
In the first few minutes our waiter asked if there were any allergies or dietary needs at our table. Moments later the chef came out and took our order. Every question I had about safety & cross contamination was answered quickly and with confidence. We had a great meal with leftovers and additional meals for today. Worth the money spent. Great experience for our family!
2500 N Mayfair Road, Wauwatosa, WI 53226-1409
As someone newly-diagnosed with celiac, I had a wonderful experience at Maggiano's. I was impressed that the servers immediately ask about food allergies. The chef came and spoke with us, then gave us his card, welcoming us to call him with any questions in the future. I was still able to order my favorite dish and found it delicious prepared GF. I was also impressed that our server offered me their GF dessert options. A great experience for someone new to all of this.
160 N. Gulph Road, Suite 205, King of Prussia, PA 19406
Always been good service and safe. Handles GF requests with knowledge and safety.
9101 International Dr Ste 2400, Ste. 2400, Orlando, FL 32819-8120
someone needs to change the price estimation for this place on this ap (more like $$$$), we were not dressed for this style of resteraunt! no gluten free menu. food and drinks were good, lovely place.
9101 International Dr Ste 2400, Ste. 2400, Orlando, FL 32819-8120
Had two takeaways from Maggiano's while on holiday in Orlando. They have gluten free penne which they can substitute in on most dishes. The barmaid, Sara, who took our order was very knowledgeable, and even remembered me and my gluten intolerance when my girlfriend went there alone the second time we ordered a takeaway!

Critiques des utilisateurs - Royaume-Uni
Okay, I have been using this app for about a month and it really is excellent in the way it works with ease of use and the ability to record and upload a range of data about your rounds of golf and to analyse your game.
I think this is by far the best app on the iPhone. All of these complaints about battery are exaggerated - I could play 3 rounds of golf off one battery charge. A truly incredible app thank you shotzoom. :D
i have got this app on phone cuz all my mates have got it and i have used it and its really good. but i cant get the course on mine can someone tell me how to get them on here its just keeps sayin there are no courses lol its doin my head in plus it cost me £18
Not sure where the other guy lives but I have pages and pages of courses in uk near me in Essex and Suffolk. It's a great app with loads of well design features and well worth the money even if it is more expensive than most. Superb support too. The maps on google were out of date so they updated my course to bing maps in 2 days. Was using the free version with another gps range finder but found it much easier with the all in one app. Dont hesitate, buy now!
Cannot believe what you get for your money,it's a bargain and well worth having,does about all you could ask for.Like the idea of listing golf courses nearest to you with directions and map how to find.
This App is different class!! I spent about a week contemplating if I should purchase or not. Boy am I glad I decided to take the plunge!! I used it on a new course I played on Saturday and it helped no end. I was talking to the rest of the lads playing on Saturday and they were really impressed, but like me were hesitant in spending money on an App, but whislt were were having a drink in the 19th, I couldn't stop talking about it! The best part is being able to complete the scorecard and statistics at a later date. This helps your concentartaion around the course without having to worry about holding up play. One of the players within my group had a "Sky Caddy" and yes this is a great piece of kit, it is also 10+ times the price. We tested the yardage against each other, and time and time again both Golfshot and the skycaddy were giving the same yardage.
Well I played my first round this weekend using this app and I have to say it was storming.
With GPS and Plan I am playing better and better golf!
A good gps had no issues yet very accurate tried it against my partners gps and it was spot on.hard to see the course map in the sun but that is being picky good battery usage last all 5 rounds used .would advice any1 to buy a real bargin would like to see a few more stats.
With GPS and Plan I am playing better and better golf!
Why pay over £200 4 a sky caddy when u can get this 4 under £20 and its better i love my iphone
This app is amazing. I too was worried about spending £18 on an app but my god it's well worth the money when you consider what you get! Have played a round with a mate who has skycaddie & this app is just the same with ranges, but better for club layup distances & better for stats! I don't understand how people were saying it takes so much battery power though, I can only assume they had it live the entire 18 holes which, let's face it, you don't need, unless you're really sad & want to know every pace you've travelled! (I know some people are!!!) I just turn it on before every shot, wait a few secs for a sat fix & there you go, instant ranges for everything. I can't speak highly enough of this app... to think I nearly purchased a skycaddie! It is a must for those of us who want to know ranges for our shots & club selections & like to keep stats to show improvements or otherwise in our game. Actually, further to this, I used the app at my local course for 36 holes & the battery lasted the entire two rounds (+ a couple of phone calls & a text or two!) You are simply mad if you don't get this app. No, I'm not on a retainer although I wish I was!
Great product, I was sceptical as the price was high for an app, but well with it. So easy to use, accurate info on the two courses I've played since downloading it & easy to record your scores.

Outstanding. Functions superbly as GPS and stat builder. Thoroughly recommend!!!
an excellent and inexpensive way to keep tally of your scores and stats, my friend paid £300 for something similar but to my view it does not do as well as golfshot would definitely recommend this product to golfers of all handicaps
a few people moaning saying they struggle to get a round of golf using this, simple. just press the top button on the phone between shots. just played a round and only used 20% of battery. great app

I was reluctant to spend all this money on one app, but it saves an enormous cost of a Sky Caddie or similar. I tried it yesterday for the first time and the distancing was perfect. That was a mixed foursomes round where you end up in all sorts of places you've never been before and at least I didn't have to worry about how far to go. I agree with other reviewers about the battery life, but i do have a portable charger so that isn't an issue.
Read the reviews, so decided to go for it & spend the most Ive ever spent on a app, Anybody thinking of buying a dedecated GPS dont bother, £18 quid is an absolute bargain, this app is amazing, my own course was not on the list of courses so I emailed a picture of the score card & in less than a week it was loaded onto the system , brilliant customer service !
I love this app - superb interface throughout. Please add more specific detail on each shot tho and be able to record distances to add to analysis data. Good work guys!
The best thing since sliced bread for a keen golfer!
i have played at wycombe heights in the uk. all i get on my gps is a grey google screen. other players with the same app are ok whats my problem
This app is superb and what great value for money

I love this bra and it says it is a best seller. What I don't understand is why are you not selling it anymore. It is the only bra I can stand to wear. I have a very hard time finding it in my size. My only complaint is the cup is not big enough. there is not a bra that is any more comfortable. Please reconsider selling it. Thanks
This bra is so comfortable. It's my "go-to" bra consistently. It shouldn't JUST be in the leisure section! Wide strap = awesome!
This bra turned out to be just okay for me. I was not satisfied with the size and found that the bra runs small. Also, the straps are NOT adjustable and this was inconvenient for me as the bra seemed to ride up because of it. I would recommend ordering at least a size up!
I LOVE THIS BRA! This is a bra that I will wear beyond nursing and I would highly recommend it to my sporty friends who are nursing or not. Previously I only had nursing bras with fold-down cups but I really like the slide-over access. It also creates nice clevage!
I love this bra... it's so comfortable yet supportive. It does run a bit smaller than I thought so, if you are on the verge of the next size up, I would size up.
I really love this bra. Although it is a light support bra it is so comfortable. I like to wear it under clothes that are not tailored or form-fitting.
It is a great leisure bra!
I liked this bra much more than the 110. Great bra to wear at home. Wouldn't wear out, not supportive enough for me (46DDF) Would be a great nursing bra!
I could truly wear this 24/7! Loved the relaxed fit, but gentle support. Looks great.
Back closing = not a fan! BUT this bra is an exception. Adjustable size closure, well fitting, good coverage, soft fabric. Not a lot of uplift, straps not adjustable. A nice chocolate color would be nice. (I wear a lot of brown, orange and gold.) Its the first back closure I'd consider buying or recommending!

In an effort to comply with the 2012 TEACH NJ Act, the N.J. Department of Education (NJDOE) has introduced proposed new regulations related to mentoring. Department officials also stated that these new regulations would reflect the latest research on mentoring coupled with best practices from around the nation.
According to the law, not only are new teachers required to be mentored, so are teachers who are new to a district, even if they have taught elsewhere. Experienced teachers new to a district would have to receive a comprehensive orientation to the district and individualized supports through the Professional Development Plan (PDP) process.
Novice teachers would receive a full year of one-on-one mentoring, with even greater supports for those who came to the classroom via the alternate route.
The new regulations would also change the mentor selection process. Mentors would have to be rated effective or highly effective on their most recent evaluation and would be required to complete a training program. They must have at least three years of teaching experience, and must have had at least two of those years within the five years previous to serving as a mentor.
Because the NJDOE eliminated local professional development committees in code adopted earlier this year, the implementation of and accountability for a district's mentoring plan is now left to the superintendent.
NJEA leaders and staff are analyzing the proposed regulations, which are expected to be at the second discussion level at the Sept. 11 State Board of Education meeting.
