IDOL "Jumps the Shark"
The ratings have been sinking. We know Simon is leaving. There's been a weird vibe all season but last night AMERICAN IDOL "jumped the shark":an idiom used to describe the moment of downturn for a previously successful enterprise.
What happened to the heartwarming "homecoming" episode? Standing in front of an AT&T with 30 people there does not a hero's welcome make.
Ellen gave Crystal a song to sing from a man's perspective. STRANGE.
The judges crowned Lee the winner and we haven't even done the finale. Are they as eager to be done with this season as we are?

UNDATED (WSAU) If you call for an ambulance in Wisconsin, the vehicle might be as injured as you are. Gannett Wisconsin Media found that 23-percent of ambulances inspected in the last two years violated at least one state requirement. And that's after providers get a one-week notice that an inspector is coming.
Most violations are minor.
Gannett said one of every 10 problems was for interior lights that were burned out. But of the nearly 1,100 ambulances inspected in two years, 19 of them had bad emergency brakes. And others had inadequacies with medicines, defibrillator pads, and pediatric pads. According to the Gannett review, seven ambulances in Wisconsin were told to stay off the roads until their problems were fixed. And a provider in Waupun lost its state license for not making its required improvements.

QuakeCon 2012 Day 1 Highlights
When I arrived before the 10 a.m. start of the convention at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, I found lines winding the the entire first-floor concourse of the large hotel. People had shown up the night before and early in the morning to get a spot in line to get into the Bring Your Own Computer area, one of the mainstays of the show each year. In addition, registration took so long that John Carmack's keynote had to be pushed back two hours.
Bethesda VP Pete Hines said the shows growing popularity contributed to the record numbers, forcing convention organizers to limit access to the BYOC area on a first-come, first-serve basis, the first time that has happened in years. The area became so crowded at one point that id CEO Todd Hollenshead was seen escorting a group of BYOCers to the appropriate area for them to sign up and wait.
The BYOC area did open on time, but those who signed up early got to get in first. A group of Shackers, headed by Eric "EricZBA" Betancourt, 31, a Dallas resident, who started coming to QuakeCon in 2010. Betancourt took it upon himself to promote the event daily in the Shacknews Chatty, and reserved a small group of Shacknews seats those coming to the event.
"QuakeCon was the ShackCon before ShackCon," he said. "we used to have some big groups here, but now it is more and more just the local Shackers who attend. I just told myself 'I can't let this die,' and started to promote it in Chatty. It's not fun unless you are with people you know."
Carmack was not shy about making the rounds to greet people while he waited to give his keynote. I saw him at least three or four different times talking to fans and answering questions. While there were some things he couldn't talk about, he didn't hesitate to talk about his passions of programming, graphic and processor technology and his current pet project, virtual reality.
When he wasn't talking to convention-goers, I found Carmack up in the demo rooms where Dishonored and Doom 3 BFG were being shown to the press. One of the selling points of Doom 3 BFG this time around is a Lost mission and being able to play in 3D. When I sat down to try the game, it was unexpectedly chugging because of some issues with the nVidia drivers. So Carmack sits down at the PC and immediately opens the console to fix the problems. It was quite cool seeing him sporting the 3D glasses as he tested the results of his fixes.
The tournaments will be going on throughout the show, and attendees will be rewarded at random with tickets for a drawing for a brand new Ford Shelby GT500 Coupe Mustang, worth around $58,000. The lucky winner will be chosen at random on the last day of the show, and to make your mouth water, they had the red sports car on display outside the tournament area.
The show events kicks off again today at 10 a.m., and several panels will be part of the day's activities. In addition, I'll have a chance to talk to Carmack about his virtual reality project with Palmer Lucky. Be sure to watch Shacknews for all the latest from Day 2 of QuakeCon 2012.

Out Now!
Nickel Eye is the solo project of The Strokes' bassist Nikolai Fraiture. When The Strokes' hiatus began taking longer than expected, Nikolai reached into an old shoebox of poems and rants written years ago. With his free time, he began adapting them to music. Enlisting the help of South, a UK band introduced to him by a friend, Nickel Eye recorded some demos at South Studios in Hackney, London. With guest appearances by Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Regina Spektor, The Time of The Assassins was completed a few months later in New York City. The album was written and produced by Nickel Eye. It is musically influenced by some of his favorite artists, such as Neil Young, Frank Black, Leonard Cohen and The Kinks and will be released January 27th, 2009 on Rykodisc. The artwork is reminiscent of Lynd Ward's Gods' Man, a collection of woodcuts considered to be one of the first graphic novels. The lyrics and theme for The Time of The Assassins found their impetus during a road trip across the United States of America when Nikolai was nineteen.

(Frequently Asked Questions)
If you don't find the answers you're looking for....
Please contact the Department of Residence if you have questions about dining and housing options. The telephone number is (319) 273-2333 or 866-207-9411 (toll free).
The dining services e-mail address is email@example.com
The housing e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com
1. Do most new students live on-campus?
Yes! Living on-campus isn't a requirement for new students, but the vast majority of new students do because it's so convenient for meeting people, attending classes, participating in activities and accessing campus resources.
2. How big will my room be?
Most rooms are approximately 12 feet by 12 feet, with an 8 foot high ceiling. However, there are many variations from hall to hall and sometimes within the same hall. You can view your exact room's layout and dimensions on your online contract.
3. What's provided in my room?
- 2 Beds with mattresses and mattress pads
- Wastebasket
- Recycle bin
- Drapes or mini-blinds
- 2 Desks with chairs
- 2 Closets or wardrobes
- Dresser space
- In-room sinks (except in Rider)
- Mirror
- Cable TV access to more than 50 channels
- 1 Ethernet (Internet) jack per person
4. What can I bring?
- Materials to "loft" your bed (except in Campbell, Hagemann, Shull and Lawther, where loftable beds are provided)
- Linens and Blankets
- Computer
- Microwave
- Fan
- Clock Radio
- Carpet (Bender and Dancer are carpeted)
- Other items to make you feel at home in the residence halls
5. Who runs the building I'll be living in?
A full-time, live-in Residence Life Coordinator is responsible for each hall. Also, a student staff member, called an RA (Resident Assistant), lives with about 50 residents in each community ("house") within each residence hall.
6. Does each student need a computer for their room?
No. Students enjoy the convenience of having a computer connected to ResNet in the residence hall room, but computers are plentiful in labs in halls across campus.
UNI hall rooms have one ResNet port per resident as well as wireless Internet access. Students who have computers use them daily to check e-mail from family and friends, communicate with professors and do online research to meet class requirements.
Technical requirements for ResNet connection are listed in Department of Residence publications and at the ResNet website.
7. How is safety and security on campus?
The concern for the safety and security of our residents is shared by all segments of the university. Residence halls are locked each night at 9 p.m. Residents gain access with their outside door keys. Guests in the halls after that time should be escorted by a hall resident. The university also has a full-time professional police department.
1. How do I contract for housing?
As soon as you are notified that you have been admitted to UNI, we urge you to contract on-line for housing. Contract early. The sooner you submit a contract, the more likely you will be to get the preferences you indicate.
2. What is my residence hall and dining contract?
The residence hall and dining contract describes that commitment you made to the university and that we make to you regarding your on-campus housing and dining arrangements for the full academic year. The 2-Year Advantage Plan with the rate freeze covers two academic years. Besides choices of residence hall and meal plan, you may also indicate preferences related to various Community Living Options.
3. How much does it cost to live in the residence halls?
Housing and dining rates for the University of Northern Iowa are among the lowest in Iowa, which includes over two dozen four-year colleges and universities. The Financial Aid Office estimates that the average cost of living on campus at UNI is approximately $800 LESS per academic year than living off campus. Students who select the 2-Year Advantage Plan reserve access to first year rates for two academic years. Click here to view the current rates.
4. Is a meal plan required?
A meal plan is part of the housing and dining contract at the University of Northern Iowa. The meal plan gives students freedom from grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning up and provides good daily nutrition.
Social interaction in the dining centers is also a reason to have a meal plan. Special events help celebrate the seasons of the year and bring something new to students' routines.
5. Is a deposit required?
No, but we require a prepayment. This means that you send us the first $200 of your annual room and meal contract rate, so we know you definitely want a space reserved. That amount is subtracted from the total amount of your housing and meal contract. Refer to contract Terms & Conditions for the refund schedule
6. What is the application fee?
The residence application fee is $25. This is a one-time fee that covers the entire time you live in the residence halls. The contract prepayment of $200 is a separate commitment.
7. When will I get my room and roommate assignment?
Room assignments are mailed in June. The assignment letter will also include tips for moving in and your roommate's name and address.
8. How are housing assignments made?
Room assignments are made according to the date you submit your housing contract, prepayment and application fee; the earlier the better! We make assignments based on the options you request on the housing preference section of your contract application. We can only use the information you provide us, so be sure to indicate your preferences such as smoking, community living options, etc. Returning students select their rooms before assignments are made for new students. New students who have a housing and dining contract may select their rooms during April/May.

LEARNED, MS. — The Glenbrook Apaches were eliminated from the MAIS playoffs after a 64-54 loss to Mt. Salus Christian School Monday night. The Apaches finished the season with a 27-7 record.
"It was just a disappointing game," Glenbrook head coach Todd Spurlock said. "It was not the way we wanted to end it. You'd like to say you were beaten by a better team that just out-played you, but I was very disappointed with the way we played last night. I don't think we came ready to play."
Mt. Salus led 8-4 after the first quarter and 24-18 at the half. The Apaches trailed 43-38 going into the final quarter before falling 64-54.
Cade Spurlock led the Apaches with 35 points and Caleb Wilson scored 12. Sam Marvin added four points.
"We fell a couple of games short of our goals this year," Todd Spurlock said. "We wanted to make the Final Four and win 30 ball games, so we fell a couple of games short on both counts. We came close, but in the end, you have to play hard on a consistent basis, and when you don't do that, you don't achieve the things you want to achieve."
Despite being disappointed, Spurlock said the team should be proud of what they accomplished this year.
"The way it all finished doesn't take away from some of the great moments we've had," he said. "We had more end of the game thrillers than I've ever been a part of, and we won most of them. We just need to put this game behind us and forget it, and remember all the good things that happened."
One of those good things was that Senior Cade Spurlock was selected as a MAIS All-Star and will be playing in the upcoming MAIS All-Star Game.

- Good but LoudRickieVIPDined on 9/18/2014Sorry the go rid of round booths. Friendly service except for the host. Food came out lukewarm.Special Features:
- Cold and slowSteakGuyDined on 9/10/2014We used this Resturant because it WS close to the Marriott SW. We arrived early for our 7 pm resie and since the room was sparsely populated we were seated right away. We ordered drinks and when delivered we were told that only one bottle of the selected beer was available. Not really a big deal but since the place wasn't full quite surprised. On the menu a big deal was made of the 1600 degree steaks,the server with heavy towels holding the plate I had to move the plate and was surprised that the plate was barley warm to the touch. I ordered the NY Strip medium rare and it arrived medium to medium well. The mashed potatoes served in a small bowl on the plate were cold with 2 large pieces of un-mashed at the bottom. No characters 4 server!

- Restaurant week special wasn't.MendyUSADined on 7/25/2014Bad cuts both bone-in rib eye $38 and bone-in strip $36. Go to Cub. Execution of steaks was fine at med rare. Flavorless... meat could not stand on its own. Mushrooms burned. Both asparagus spears were fine. Gratin potatoes were good as the box. The tiny little bite of cheesecake at the end was cute. My wife's tiny little bite called cobbler was a couple slices of apple and a tablespoon of ice-cream.
- Business lunchBeRemarkableDined on 7/25/2014A good business lunch choice. Impress your client.Special Features:
- Excellent experienceSlowServiceDined on 7/24/2014We took my spouses sister to Jimmy's for her first visit. It was a wonderful experience for all as was expected. She had halibut which she said was great and we both had the walleye stuffed with shrimp and crab which we both love. Excellent service as always.Special Features:
- PattyVIPDined on 7/23/2014We were there for a lunch dining and very few people in attendance - probably our 'early' arrival. They have plenty on the menu and what we had - crab cake sandwich and a sweet & spicy chicken sandwich, were very good. We would love to go back and try some of their fish recipes, they were very interesting. Our service was excellent and she provided plenty of suggestions, and (asked for) comments. Loved it!Special Features:
- Underwhelmedeld81Dined on 7/20/2014I have been to Jimmy's several times and have never had any issues...so I think this may be an isolated incident. My family visited for Restaurant Week, which we have done several times in the past. Maybe my expectations were high because of previous dining experiences, but my salad was average and my entree (filet, green beans, and au gratin potatoes) was horrible. Everything was either coated in WAY to much butter or it was greasy. It was pretty unappetizing and I barely touched my meal. Then when my "individual" size cheesecake showed up, it was literally two bites. I actually laughed when it was placed in front of me because I thought it was a joke!! Service was slow to top it off. It might be awhile before I return.I would recommend this to a friend.
- MamaVIPDined on 7/19/2014It took our waitress awhile to come to our table at the beginning. I usually order what is on special at a restaurant which I did along with two others and they ran out of the prime rib. We all ordered steak instead which was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/19/2014Good Service, Good Food and nice surroundings. I will return and recommend. David ChristensenSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/19/2014Exceptional! The food and service were excellent! Our server was so attentive. Great evening!Special Features:
- FoodAlandJanDined on 7/17/2014Both our filets were over-done (we'd asked for "just moderately pink"). The waitress offered to replace them but we don't believe in wasting food. Failing that, she offered a free desert. Despite the over-cooking, the steaks were still tasty. We enjoyed our visit and will certainly return.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Noise & bright patio door/Poor FishPaulDDined on 7/17/2014Special Occasion Dinner not worth it - We sat in a larger corner dark booth (shades closed) right next to the door to the patio. Each time the wait staff went outside the bright sun blinded many at our table and there was a noisy commotion when wait staff bustled in and out or held the door open waiting for others to go to see tables etc. Also one of our two fish orders was horrible and inedible. The swordfish was over cooked, tough, very dry and lacked any signs of freshness. My guess was that it was frozen not fresh and the cook didn't know how to prepare it. A very expensive mistake at $26 a plate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great suggestions from our serverdorrichDined on 7/12/2014This was our first visit to Jimmy's -food was very good, but our server was great. She had excellent suggestions for everything from appetizer to dessert and a very nice wine to accompany our meal.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/1/2014I always love coming to this restaurant.....food is usually great and I take business and family to this spot...it is close to my home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- go for the happy hour specialcybersamur4iDined on 6/27/2014Staff was attentive and friendly. Happy hour specials were reasonable. Portions were smaller for some dishes but at the lower prices you can just sample more variety. The food was great! Atmosphere was a mix between casual and semi formal. Perfect for a first date.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Noise Is UnbearableOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 6/24/2014Don't go to Jimmy's if you'd like to have a conversation. The noise level is over the top. I've tried this restaurant three times with the same result--unbearable noise level, and it doesn't matter if it's lunch or dinner. Our table could not conduct a conversation. The last time I asked for a booth thinking that the upholstery would absorb some of the sound. It didn't and we ended up going somewhere else for dessert so we could have the visit we'd intended to have at dinner. Too bad. I like the decor and the food, but the Twin Cities has may other good restaurant choices that are more attuned to customers' needs.
- Great experience!pattiDined on 6/20/2014I took a "stab in the dark" finding a restaurant to eat dinner at while we went on an adventure to adopt a new pet. We are not from that neighborhood, and didn't know any restaurants, so I just looked on-line. Jimmy's popped up, their web-site showed white table-cloths, which implied a fancy restaurant, but also had a friendly name so it seemed fun. We totally enjoyed our experience there: wait staff was attentive and very friendly, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was just the right noise level!!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/19/2014Service was excellent - very responsive to requestsSpecial Features:

- Mother's Day brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 5/11/2014We had an excellent Mother's Day brunch at Jimmy's Food and Cocktails. They didn't have a ton of selections on their brunch but the food they had was top notch. I've found over the years (being sort of a brunch connoisseur) that when a restaurant tries to provide too many varieties of food , they just can't do that many selections well. I'd rather they focus on a number of selections and make sure they're all great which is what this brunch did. We really loved it. The staff was great - I loved the atmosphere and will definitely go againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mothers Day Brunch was a DUDTomSVIPDined on 5/11/2014WAY overpriced. Three people $130! That was with 1 beverage each. I would rate the bloody mary as a 2 out of 10. The buffet was ok. Not great, not bad. $15-20 bucks a head would have been a fair price. I have eaten here before and it was pretty good but I will never do their brunch buffet again.
- Mother's Day BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/11/2014We're moving into the neighborhood, so we thought we'd try Jimmy's for Mother's Day brunch and see if we should add it to our list of dining options when we move. First, it's a nice looking place. The staff is professional, courteous and on-top of things. The brunch had a lot of options, but the food itself was just "good" (not "great"). I did enjoy the Greek salad and the pasta. The steamed vegetables were VERY salty and eggs were bland (as mass-cooked eggs usually are). We're going to go back and order off of the menu next time.Special Features:
- DisappointingExpectingmoreDined on 5/10/2014Very busy Sat night . Had a reservation and was kept waiting over 20 minutes to be seated. One person ordered the prime rib and it looked awful - light brown color - very odd. She didn't eat much of it and it certainly didn't look appealing. Food was overpriced for what was served. Service fair. Had to ask to have candles lit at our table. Certainly didn't feel special.
- Not up to parKtlouDined on 5/10/2014Have been here multiple times the service was very very slow. My husband's steak was tough and two of us had different halibut dishes and neither was impressive. Really just a so so visit.

She bent her right foot back behind her body and caught the ball on the sole of her shoe. "I could feel the excitement building in the auditorium," she recalled. "I could hear the oohs and the aahs. I could sense the shock." ¶ For her finale, Cowie lay on her back and juggled the ball over her head with her feet.

The 'Social Cost of Carbon'? A Hidden Tax

By Robert L. Bradley Jr.
Energy firms and academic researchers recently petitioned the White House to reconsider the "social cost of carbon" (SCC), a new input to justify new and costlier federal regulation.
Don't feel bad if you have never heard of this term; it is new to students of regulation too. The SCC is the federal government's official determination of the monetary "damage" done to public health and welfare by carbon dioxide emissions. Several months ago, with virtually zero public oversight, administration officials substantially increased its earlier stealthy estimate -- but this time got caught.
The SCC issue goes far beyond the oil, gas, and coal industries. SCC taxes average Americans in a regulatory ramp-up that will either restrict choice, increase cost, or both. And what is bad for consumers is also bad for the struggling economy.
The White House needs to tank the nebulous concept of "social cost" on intellectual grounds, not only because it is anti-consumer and anti-economy.
The feds "social cost of carbon" is generated by a computer model with hundreds of variables related to environmental degradation. The Office of Management and Budget then takes this value to evaluate the climate change impacts of federal regulations. The recent 40 percent increase (from $21 to $35 per metric ton) was buried in an update to the Department of Energy's energy-efficiency standards for microwave ovens.
It flunks peer review. MIT economist Robert Pindyck complained that the SCC modelers "can do little more than make up functional forms and corresponding parameter values. And that is pretty much what they have done." Rep. James Lankford (R-OK) argues: "This is no simple rule change with little effect," he said. "This has especially serious consequences."
The social cost of carbon is just another arrow in the quiver of a President at war against consumer-chosen fossil-fuel energy to try to help "green" energies survive. A more undeserving target can hardly be imagined given that free-market energy--oil, gas, and coal--is the bright spot of the American economy.
The oil and natural gas industry currently supports 9.8 million American jobs and pays $200 billion in direct wages to U.S. employees. It's expected to create another one million new positions in this country over the next decade.
Energy industry growth benefits millions of Main Street retirees. Only 3 percent of oil and natural gas companies are owned by corporate executives and board members. The vast majority is owned by public and private retirement funds. So-called Big Oil is really Little Oil for the masses.
If the energy industry is saddled with new, onerous regulations and fees, the latest example being a social cost of carbon, it will stagnate. There will be fewer new energy jobs. And the nest eggs of millions of average Americans will take a hit.
A higher SCC will also make energy production more expensive. Those new costs will likely get passed along to consumers. Everything from the electricity used to heat your home to the food you buy at the grocery store will see a price increase.
Meanwhile, the primary justification for the SCC -- impending catastrophic global climate change -- is itself in crisis. Data recently released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration indicates that there has been no marked increase in global temperature since November 1996 -- that's nearly 17 years ago. The Arctic Ice Cap has actually grown sixty percent over the last year, reversing fears of a great melting.
That leaves substantial science showing carbon's vital contributions to human thriving.
President Obama has insisted his administration is dedicated to fostering "an unprecedented level of openness in government." A major 2009 directive from his own Office of Management and Budget explicitly says that "transparency promotes accountability by providing the public with information about what the Government is doing." Yet, the American people were completely left in the dark when this new carbon value was calculated. White House officials never explained the model behind the number. They didn't solicit input from business groups or everyday energy consumers.
Fortunately, GOP lawmakers have started pushing back in earnest against the SCC ruse. They've successfully lobbied the Government Accountability Office to take an in-depth look at how the White House came up with the calculation. And in early August, the House voted to block the Environmental Protection Agency from factoring in the social cost of carbon when crafting major new energy regulations.
This is a good start. But the ultimate solution is to scrap this increase entirely -- it is just too intellectually unjustified and negative for the American economy. Pushing anti-growth measures without proper public oversight is no way to run a country.

Nova Science Now
Can I Eat That?Series Website »
Episode Guide »
David Pogue, popular technology reporter for The New York Times, is the new host of this science magazine series. What are the secrets behind your favorite foods? Why are some treats -- like chocolate chip cookies -- delectable, while others -- like cookies made with mealworms -- disgusting? You might think you understand what makes something sweet, salty or bitter, but Pogue gets a taste of a much more complicated truth, as he ventures into labs and kitchens where everything from apple pie to Thanksgiving turkey to juicy grasshoppers is diced, sliced, dissected and put under the microscope. If scientists can uncover exactly what's behind the mouth-watering flavors and textures we take for granted every day, could they help us enjoy our food more -- without packing on the pounds?

A word from Hip Kitty Jazz & Fondue
Hip Kitty is a swanky and intimate jazz supper club and lounge located in downtown Claremont's Village. Located in a renovated 1922 Packing House, the warm and eclectic vintage décor takes you back to an era when jazz was subversive and fondue was all the rage. Hip Kitty is classy but casual and over 21 only- a great place for a date night or a special celebration. The retro menu features a wide selection of cheese, chocolate, and meat & seafood fondues in addition to our lounge food menu. Live music is featured on our stage 6 nights a week. Check out our entertainment calendar and our full menu at www.hipkittyjazz.com. Hip Kitty also has a large outdoor patio with private cabanas and a fire pit. Reservations are for fondue dining only (cocktail and appetizer service is always first come-first serve). The last dinner reservation is at 8 pm, walk-ins thereafter for service until midnight. Fri/Sat-$5cover, $10 per person food requirement for booth seating.Continued

- Hot fondueSchmidtieDined on 9/13/2014Service was great, band was great, but mgmt needs to put the air on! Hot hot hot. Unpleasant with fondue pots on, people were leaving quickly.Special Features:
- Very EntertainingHipKittyDined on 9/12/2014The bands always put on a great show, very energetic and draw the crowd in to dance. Service and servers are great. Food is specialty and pricey but delish. Crowd varies from casual to dressy, young to old. Love to see people dressed in old styles. Fun for a date or a special occasion.Special Features:
- Live MusicOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/12/2014Great venue for live music. Loved the way it's decorated. The two person booths are a little tight but they all face the stage.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- To loudSugarkatzenDined on 9/7/2014The band was turned up so hi I couldn't hear my date that was sitting right next to me, or the waiter. Durring the intermission they had music at a very nice level. When the band came back on (the band was good) we asked for the check.Special Features:
- Jess2014Dined on 9/5/2014Great service with wonderful staff. Versatile with the option of a big group or a romantic experience for two. The entertainment was wonderful and the other people there we also very nice. Good experience and I would definitely recommend to others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fun atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/31/2014Overall this place was good. Only down fall was that it was overwhelmenly hot. It seemed like they had no AC. Which made us run outta there early.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great music and dinner night spotNightsOutDined on 8/30/2014Just a great place to enjoy music and have some food and drinks. Have been there several times now on the weekends and always a consistently good night out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great atmosphere!lhspecialdineDined on 8/30/2014I went for my best friend's 22nd birthday and the atmosphere was fantastic. They had great food-pricey-and really good drinks. My personal favorite was their Singapore sling. Overall, a great experience I would recommend to anyone who enjoys lounges over crowded clubs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Need AIR Conditioning!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014We had a fabulous time, but how can you not have air conditioning. We noticed people leaving due to the unbearable heat unfortunately we left too. We loved the band but it was too hot!!i heard people complaining in the bathroom about how hot it was and they too were leaving. Please get Air we'd love to go back and not feel like we are in a sauna....Special Features:
- very cool spotlouie00067Dined on 8/29/2014I have been here before and i always have a great time , the food is good the bands are always on point what else can you ask for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Had a blast!AlleyDined on 8/16/2014Been wanting to go for awhile, did not dissapoint! Great atmosphere; the Tim Gill All Stars were playing, total time warp to the golden age of crooners and big bands. Cocktails are a bit pricey but food is reasonable. The bacon chicken asparagus was really good as was the montecristo.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExceptionalDiningChimesDined on 8/8/2014This is a wonderful way for all who have heard of fondue, but never experienced it, to embrace the ambience and fun of "at your table" cooking! The waiters/waitresses are super helpful, pleasant, and always eager to answer questions or help guide one through the no more that 5 minute cooking time! Hip Kitty makes it fun and "Hip" again to cook your food on skewers and dip, dip, dip! LOVE it! The food, stuffed potatoes, meat, sauces and SALAD/dressing were phenomenal!! Then to top it off, favorites like marshmellows, rice krispy treats and fruit to dip in chocolate, left this gluen-free girl VERY happy to be able to partake in the goodies. I just let everyone else eat the brownie and cookie :))Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A birthday to rememberdessertfirstDined on 8/3/2014Came here for my mom's birthday on a Sunday. Happy Hour well drinks all night was a great deal along with the cheese fondue. The staff was really friendly, joked around with us and made us feel like we were at home. The music by Groove Session wasn't the jazz I expected, but still great musicians. Dessert fondue- the traditional- also yummy, but not as good as the bananas foster fondue. Also would recommend the chicken sausage Mac n cheese. The only thing that didn't have a good a flavor as I wanted was the cheddar-garlic fondue. It just seemed to be overpowered by the wine. Not enough cheese. Regardless. I will definitely be returning and telling more friends about it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The band GROOVE SESSION was great!JazzyDined on 8/3/2014Ryan our server was attentive and friendly. The food and well drinks were decent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So fun!RobinsMommyDined on 8/2/2014My hubby and I came on a Saturday night and had a blast! The drinks are a bit pricey but still good and they had great music. We'll most definitely be back :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- celebratehipsteveDined on 8/1/2014Our second time at Hip Kitty and it was a blast. We went for our anniversary and were not disappointed. The service was great and very good food and fondue. It was a bit warm, not sure if the AC was on the fritz or not, but that didn't keep us from enjoying the night. Definitely a good place for a date or a celebration with a group.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hip Kitty Jazz & FondueTSMODined on 7/20/2014This was the Best Experience for us! Amanda Castro is a Fantastic entertainer, the waiter was the best and the food was excellent! We will be back with friends and will be regular visitors. :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of a kind, but...loveoldschooljazzDined on 7/19/2014The ambiance is as usual one of a kind and the food is always delicious. The only advice I'd give is to find out who will be doing the live entertainment for the evening. The difference in volume output and styles between performers greatly varies.Special Features:
- Fun Place!foodieVIPDined on 7/18/2014This is by far not a foodie venue- but it IS a great place for jazz, sometimes danceable-- and there's a little dance floor right in front of the band. We went for the music and ended up doing a bit of swing dancing. Very fun. Staff is really nice. The people actually come to LISTEN to the music, not talk over it. Very enjoyable evening. I would definitely go back, especially if there is a band playing danceable music!
- Music good. Food not so good.LovethemusicDined on 7/6/2014Excellent service. Didn't like the fondue meet and the cheese dips. Tasted kinda funny.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great musicBLAMDined on 7/6/2014This is the only place I know in the area with truly great music on a regular basis.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome entertainment spotfoodiezonedDined on 7/5/2014This is a great place for great food and entertainment. It's a place for a more mature crowd. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I've been here three times and I haven't been disappointed. I recommend the cheese platter with a good wine. But the rest of the menu is just fine. The cheese fondue is nice because you can actually choose the cheese you want. That's a great plus. The drink menu is pretty good with great choices. The mixology was pretty good. This is a fun place for couples our groups. I highly recommend this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- tonyagsDined on 7/3/2014Hipkitty is nice, food is good and live music is always interesting. The only suggestion would be to turn up the AC, it gets really hot when you are enjoying your fondue while you sweat.Special Features:
- SaunamjfanDined on 6/20/2014It was EXTREMELY hot and humid in the place making it very uncomfortable. I was sweating more than I think I should have considering I was just sitting there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great EntertainmentadvaitaDined on 6/15/2014Great Entertainment even on Sunday evenings. Good food and wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- birthday funmusicloverDined on 6/13/2014Took a friend for her birthday..it was her first time there..we had a great time!! good music..good food great atmosphere..will definitely go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love the live entertainmentadvaitaDined on 6/8/2014This place has great live entertainment most nights of the week, including Sunday. Their fondues and mac & cheese are really good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 642 reviews are from the Hip Kitty Jazz & Fondue reviews archive.
- Jazz, Fondue, Mac & CheeseadvaitaDined on 6/1/2014Great live music especially jazz on a number of nights. Fondue and Mac & Cheese variety is great. Wine list needs a bit of expansion, but they have a couple of great Michael David red wines.Special Features:
- Step back in time..for a great timeLoriVIPDined on 5/30/2014What a fun experience the Hip Kitty was! So retro 60's....I swear we had the same art and cork board in our house growing up. Fun fibe, good food, great first visit....we will be back.Special Features:
- Fondue FunComelonaDined on 5/30/2014We've been to Hip Kitty a half dozen times. It's a great place to bring out of towners. There's really not a bad seat in the place (all booths & tables face the stage or have a clear view of it). The cheese & meat fondue options are fine, but the dark chocolate fondue is deliciously decadent. The website said no cover charge before 8:00, but the hostess said cover charge starts as soon as the club opens. Although the waitress was new, she was very friendly & accommodating. However, she overcharged us & we had to do the math for her since we were 4 guests & she charged for 5... The entertainment was Ginger & the Hoosiers & it was nice to be able to still hear & converse over the music. Sometimes the bands can be too loud. Cute & retro space!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WOW!MrBaritoneDined on 5/20/2014I've never had fondue before, but my date was an experienced fondue-er and she guided me through the menu expertly. The food is AMAZING and the experience is so fun as they mix and melt the cheese and other ingredients right there before you. DEFINITELY a plus for anyone who's never had fondue before. Our server seemed a wee bit scattered, but her fun personality and attentiveness more than made up for it. Price was a little higher than I was expecting, but in retrospect seemed about right for the evening, so no complaints there. This is a perfect spot for dates because as you cook your food, there is plenty of opportunity for socializing and laughing over failed fondue techniques for noobs like me. I will definitely be returning!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday DinnerCami1234Dined on 5/18/2014I went her for my birthday to have my first fondue experience. I loved it! We will be back.They gave me a small, yummy lemon drop. I only wished they served potatoes with the fondue. But that's my only complaint. Everything else: AWESOME!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ResturantOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/2/2014Hip Kitty was a great place to celebrate my friends Birthday! We had a large group that fit comfortably in a large booth.

- Fun & Entertaining Night OutKenRhinoDined on 5/1/2014The Hip Kitty was just the right choice to take my wife for her birthday. She loves music and unique food, so it was the perfect combination. Our waiter, Drew, was extremely knowledgeable about the food (which could be daunting for someone not familiar with fondue) and the beverages. We enjoyed our food immensely, and the music was good.Special Features:

- Great place and food, bad serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/19/2014Everything was great accept for our server. I already spoke with manager and most our meal was comped. But our server had no knowledge of the menu. I dont feel like that is all her fault. Was she not tested before going out on the floor? She didn't even know normal server knowledge. Maybe a new server shouldn't have been put on a full house, Saturday night shift. I felt really bad for her. So sad.Special Features:
- Love This PlaceSamtothemeDined on 4/11/2014Hip Kitty has a fabulous ambiance. Great decor and lighting. The food and drink are excellent.

A BIG thank you for all your donations which have helped the Vang Vieng Primary School fix their classroom's roof. Sustaining Communities will continue to assist in the school's ongoing development with your help. Thanks again.
Teachers and the administration staff of the Vang Vieng Primary School have undergone a computer training course to improve their computer literacy skills. Sustaining Communities provided the computer in May 2011 and is now providing funding for further training as part of our commitment to develop the educational capacity of the school prior to the introduction of the sustainable technologies. This is one of a number of initiatives to be introduced throughout the course of the school year.
Sustaining Communities has left its birthplace in New Zealand and moved back along with the Managing Director to his hometown of Dublin, in the Republic of Ireland. Project Laos will continue to assist the Vang Vieng Primary School in delivering a quality educational curriculum, adequate equipment, sound building structure and in the future allow the school to be self-sufficient with its Water, Energy and Sanitation requirements.
Sustaining Communities has hired a Project Coordinator to oversee our operations on the ground in Laos. Pairoth "Pike" Lotakoun, is a Lao-Canadian and lives in Vang Vieng with his partner Alicia and their baby daughter Skyla.
Pike will act as an intermediary between us and the school to ensure smooth running of our operations and activities to improve the educational capacity and structural integrity of the school.
In our previous meeting with the Vang Vieng Primary School we discussed the most appropriate long-term developmental strategy based on the finances currently at our disposal. After reviewing this meeting with the school administration, Sustaining Communities has decided to makes a number of short-term changes to Project Laos in which the most pressing needs of the school have been prioritized accordingly.
While our core focus is still to provide sustainable Water, Energy and Sanitation technologies for the school and communities in the developing world we also have a duty of care to listen to, and liaise with, the schools and communities in question about their concerns regarding the project. We have therefore decided to prioritize a number of issues that need to be resolved in the immediate short-term.
The principle and deputy principle have expressed gratitude and interest in the proposal of having the schools energy needs fully provided by solar power and the EGP system as something that could be developed in the future and over various phases.
We will therefore be delaying our order for the school's solar system until we address the concerns relating to the lack of teaching resources and actual structural integrity of the building.
Sustaining Communities is an organization founded on the principles of sustainability guided by the Natural Step Framework. The 4th condition of the Natural Step requires greater social equity and resource/wealth redistribution before a sustainable outcome can be reached. In other words people need access to the fundamental necessities of life, namely: Food, Water, Health-care, Education and Shelter before any progress can be made towards achieving full sustainability and social justice on a global scale.
Sustaining Communities' ultimate priority has always been the school and the educational, health and recreational resources available to its students. Until we can provide the school with a structurally-sound building, an up-to-date curriculum, adequate equipment and teaching resources then our efforts to create a fully self-sufficient school will be in vain. Unfortunately in the current monetary paradigm, social and environmental concerns will always be hindered by economic factors. The cost-benefit analysis of providing energy independence to a school that doesn't yet have the appropriate resources for both their teachers and students is therefore currently unfeasible.
We have decided instead to allocate the funds raised for the EGP and solar systems into 5 separate budgets for the school.
-Provision of a full time English teacher.
-Provision of training and further education of the teachers.
-Provision of further training for selected students.
-Provision of an equipment budget – educational and recreational.
-Provision of a budget to help maximize the efficiency and minimize the cost associated with the computer that was donated to the school last year (lessons, paper, ink, maintenance, electricity costs, etc)
-Sustaining Communities will also be liaising with other organizations to help address the needs of the school's classrooms, which currently require maintenance and repair.
Sustaining Communities is a non-profit organization in its infancy and is still in its developmental phase. We are open to and welcome all advice and criticism that will help us grow as an organization. We consider the technologies we provide to be the "Hardware" of the operation and obviously will have the most appeal to donors because of their tangibility. However unless we also provide the school with the appropriate "software" in the form of training and resources we will severely reduce the effectiveness of what we hope to achieve in the long-term. If any person who has donated to the organization and takes issue with the direction we have taken please don't hesitate to contact me on firstname.lastname@example.com and we can discuss the refund of your donation. We have a commitment to full transparency on how our funds are allocated and this will be made available on our website http://www.sustainingcommunities.org/donations/ in the coming weeks.
Sustaining Communities would like to again thank all those who generously donated their time, money and effort to help children in the developing would improve their standard of living and educational capacity. Further updates will be posted shortly.
Sustaining Communities has arrived in Vang Vieng and after our first meeting with the school administration we have been able to address many of the school's needs and concerns.
Topics covered in this meeting include:
-The immediate needs of the school – administrative and structural.
-Equipment the school could benefit from.
-The provision of a full time English teacher.
-The new computer and issues that have arisen – costs, paper, etc
-Computer lessons for the students and the teachers.
-The electricity costs to the school.
-The new Solar and EGP system.
-Extra curricular activities.
-Sustainability related educational resources.
We now aim to address these needs with the school over the coming days and prioritize them accordingly. Further updates will be posted shortly.
After careful analysis of the school's needs and how best to cater for them, Sustaining Communities has decided that a photovoltaic solar system will be provided prior to the installment of the Electricity Generating Playground. While the solar panels that are included with the EGP system allow a constant electricity supply, the energy output is not sufficient for the school's needs. We have therefore decided that an additional solar system will be installed first with the help of a locally owned and operated solar company. Sustaining Communities will be meeting with solar provider Sunlabob in Vientiane in the next few weeks to discuss the best options for the school. We would like to thank everyone for their continued support and updates on this phase will be posted in the near future. To check out Sunlabob and all the great work they have been doing both in Laos and internationally please click on the following link: http://www.sunlabob.com/
Due to the unfavourable climatic conditions during the winter months, the tree saplings that were purchased by guests on Ziptrek's flying-fox tours were not able to be planted. We therefore decided to clear the back log of trees in spring by organizing a big plant of 300 trees out in Paradise, near Glenorchy.
Mandy from the Paradise Trust was very helpful and allowed us to plant the trees on her idyllic property. A big Thank You is required for her and the lads (Steve, Si and Shano) for helping with the planting. Photos of this plant will be sent out to customers once the website is finalized.
Steve Bradley from the Queenstown Resort College has offered his time and expertise to help develop the organization. Steve has put us into contact with student Aaron McCormack who helped to build the Facebook page and Robert Clarkson who generously donated his time and effort to build the Sustaining Communities website for free. Yvonne Evans, also from Queenstown Resort College has agreed to help with the organization's accounts. I would like to express our appreciation to all of these people, as without their hard work and generosity, this project would not be possible.

Arp - "White Light"
Last night I dreamt that it was the end of days. An asteroid was hurtling towards earth. It was hours from hitting us. You could see the giant rock in the sky. People were calmly entering the underground city that had been built to save mankind. Think a less technologically advanced Star Trek.
We were allowed to bring two suitcases. As I unpacked my clothes, music, books and other such things I had a thought that stopped me dead in my tracks: tampons and condoms. Fuck. Tampons and condoms. I should've packed an entire suitcase full of tampons and condoms. Both suitcases. Not only would it have ensured my quality of life, I would've been one of the richest people in the new world. Money would have little to no value, but tampons and condoms…
I woke up feeling nothing but remorse for my stupidity and utter relief when I realized it was just a dream. Call me prophetic, but it's not a mistake I'll make when the shit really does hit the fan.
Tampons and condoms: currency of the dystopian future.
He wanted the new Deerhunter. And my bra.
Electrelane - "Enter Laughing"
Around 2:00 this morning I woke myself up from a dream with a chuckle. Quite literally, a chuckle. I "heh"ed myself awake.
In my dream I was in a movie theater with a friend and he made some sort comment involving unicorns and an Auto-Tune. You know, a vocoder. I believe it was a pun. Must've been pretty good if I laughed myself awake. Just wish I could remember what it was…
Deerhunter - "VHS Dream"I had a bad dream last night. A few friends and I were at a cabin somewhere when we were hit with an unexpected and horrible winter storm. Power was lost, we didn't have much wood to keep a fire going and we were completely unable to leave to find help. I don't know how long we were there but my friends slowly started dropping off one by one from exposure. I awoke around 3:30 AM feeling completely out of sorts. I went to the bathroom, grabbed another blanket and went back to sleep. My dream started over almost as though it had been rewound but this time I had the added benefit of hindsight - or would it be forethought?
I remembered a neighbor had made a trip to the store earlier that morning so I found her and give her all the money I had in my pocket ($65) to buy us firewood. She seemed confused and irritated but my sense of desperation and urgency made her agree. As my friends and I wandered from here to there for whatever reason, I picked up fallen branches or swiped wood from piles that seemed to have an overabundance. I knew what we were going to endure and I had to do everything in my power to prevent the same outcome from happening.I woke up for work not knowing how it ended. I really hope I was able to save us all.
