In what will become a weekly edition to TheWavierWire, Mike Aurigemma and Jeff Balinski will sit down and discuss what happened in the previous night's episode of The Real World: St. Thomas.
For other episodes discussions check our pop culture page. Co-writer Mike Aurigemma decided to do something ballsy this week, and take a summer cruise vacation. The nerve. In his place, we have found another Marist College grad with a minor in MTV Culture, Mike DiMare. Thought we'd at least keep the first names similar so nobody got too confused at home…
Jeff Balinski: This week on the Real World, I felt the season picked up a bit and show what it could potentially be. I had brought up in my latest recap about how each of the first four episodes focused on a different quadrant of the house (Brandon, Trey and Laura, Marie and Robb, and Swift and Latoya). This week's episode was the first that really felt evenly balanced among the group. It was the first time that I really felt like everyone was hanging out and having a good time. To be honest, it's almost as enjoyable to watch these people have a great time together as it is to see them have an awful time together. In fact, it probably makes much better television to see their relationships fall apart after seeing how close they used to be.
The highlight of this episode was definitely Brandon getting "stood up". We also saw the roommates get their job, La Toya get her comeuppance, and Trey become the mom of the house.
Let's save the best for last and start with their jobs. Me and Boston had been trying to guess where these people were going to be employed. I thought for sure it was going to be some sort of tour guide on the island, or booze cruise captains. Turns out I was wrong. This year they will all be working at an Aquarium. I should've known it would have been something that they could get money for putting on the show. Last year in San Diego they all worked at the House of Blues, and this year continues the trend of all the roommates having different positions at the same place. Three of them work with the sea lion, two others are diving, and the other two are doing something I can't remember. It's not important.
What is important, is that these 7 people are THE WORST at interviews. They're like the guy in the ITT Tech commercial who when asked what he likes most about going to ITT Tech, says "I like everything about going to ITT Tech". Future business people take note, this is probably the worst answer you can give. It tells them nothing about yourself. Now, what does tell your interviewer about you is your attire. Trey knows that the best way to get the position you want is to dress to impress. Unfortunately, he also thinks that pirate hats are impressive. This is just more evidence that Trey and Laura are actually children at a sleep-away camp and not twenty-somethings on The Real World. Note: Laura has done a cartwheel or flip in every episode so far. Just saying.
Mike DiMare: I'll add this to my comment, Laura is nice to look at, when she wants to be…better?
Thinking back, I agree with you about the first four episodes but to be honest I didn't even pay attention to it, I guess I'm just used to how MTV produces these things at this point; same script different people (and yet I watch it every year week in and week out). I am very interested to see how their relationships develop, if you follow the "what's to come" video reel the house is just a ticking time bomb and everyone is going to end up stabbing one another in the back, but I've learned not to trust those clips anymore.
I love a good mental breakdown as much as the next guy but I've already had my fill of Brandon's drunken antics so his meltdown isn't as high up on my list. My favorite part of this weeks episode, hands down, was Swift's interview. Like you said they all were very very bad but his was just awful. He could not have had an easier question to answer, "What is your history with public speaking" he should have hit that out of the park. He was a business major, his mother is a lawyer and he acts like Rico Suave. Instead he stumbled through it like Bambi trying to walk for the first time. It was so funny, it was almost sad to watch. He did a better job talking to the nurses in last week's episode when he was drunk than he did on this weeks dead sober! Moving on to Trey I have no problem with him wearing the pirate hate I mean who wouldn't want to wear that thing it's pretty bad ass, my issue with his interview was that he threw the rest of the house under the bus by basically calling them drunks. That's messed up, I understand you want the best job but this isn't Wall Street. Besides, with the amount of publicity the place is getting for this I don't think they'll mind if they come in to work a little hungover occasionally.
Now getting to your favorite part Brandon getting stood up. I knew this was gonna happen from the start not because of the previews but you could tell in Alyssa's voice that she had NO intention of coming over especially when he said he was really hoping to see her and her response was silence followed by "What?" As I said earlier, I'm over this kid already, his I'm not muscular or athletic cry me a river act is played out after 4 episodes. He needs some new material which is why I'm glad he's trying to get sober, now he makes room for Robb to step in as the drunk with problems and he, from what they showed, seems WAY more entertaining.
What do you expect from Robb? Is it going to be a long running problem or just an episode where Marie brings someone back? Also how do you see the Trey, Laura, girl from home love triangle playing out?
Finally I like your note about Laura and her cartwheels, I think we should keep a running total of how many they show her do throughout the season. Maybe this is a sign that I watch too much TV specifically MTV shows, but have you noticed that Lee and little Lee as he's affectionately called wear Young and Reckless clothing, basically all the time, which is Drama, Rob Dyrdek's cousin's clothing line? MTV has to make them wear it right? There's no way it's a coincidence. Also most of the guys have those flex watches that Nate from San Diego was pushing last season, those may actually be genuine and not MTV fueled though.
JB: You're dead on about Swift. If you can't properly articulate yourself when listing your public speaking experience in front of two people, you've probably failed the public speaking test. By the way, does being the son of a lawyer make you a good public speaker? It's like in sports when people in sports get hyped over a prospect because he's someone's son or brother. I definitely wouldn't want my doctors only credentials to be "well, my dad was a doctor".
Trey has no reason to throw anyone under the bus. This is a purely dick move. Does he realize that this is just a placement interview and that they are all getting jobs? It's not a competition. We all know you think you're better than everyone else. You don't have to go telling everyone you meet.
The Brandon getting stood up part of the episode is amazing. You can see this coming from a mile away. I don't know why he doesn't. The thing is, I can't tell if Alyssa (not sure if we mentioned this girl's name yet) is doing it maliciously. Basically it comes down to Brandon being an idiot and just misreading all of the signals that Alyssa is sending him. She dances and talks to him at the club. Fine. This happens all the time. She's probably not interested in anything but getting free drinks and feeling pretty. He takes this as "this girl really likes me, I'm going to make her mine". He does this enough that he asks her to "do him the honor" of spending the rest of her time in St. Thomas with him. She is hammered when he asks her and only seems to understand every fourth word he is saying. At this point she has done nothing wrong to lead him on (at least from the conversation we hear) and it's all him blowing the situation into something it isn't. Fast forward to this week's episode where Alyssa calls the house to see what Brandon is up to tonight. This is a blatant backup plan for Alyssa. She's just making sure she at least has something to do tonight, so if everything else falls through, she can still have Brandon to tease. This is a fucked up thing to do, but at 20 year old guy should understand what's going on. But for some reason, Brandon thinks the world of Alyssa (and apparently every girl that acknowledges his existence). Let's not forget that it was just 3 weeks ago that he was head over heels for Laura. I guess he saw her without makeup on and changed his mind. Luckily Swift is there to be the voice of reason and bring up that Brandon might have a problem and has flipped out about 3 different girls over a short period of time. The latest coming from a nice drunk dial/hulk smashing rage through the house.
Everyone else in the house had a somewhat mellow episode. Marie is amazing and her highlight is when Brandon is at his lowest point, binge drinking, barely shotgunning a beer and subsequently doubled over in the sink. Marie can't help but comment that he just wasted half a beer. Love it. Marie's solution to every problem she faces is alcohol. Or peanut butter.
The previews for the rest of the season look amazing. But they are always deceptive. Last week's preview made this week look like Brandon was going to have a major meltdown, but it turned out to be a pretty average one for him. Though, this Marie/Robb situation looks like it's really going to get out of hand. I don't know what to expect from Robb, but based on the cigarette burns, I'd say he has a better chance of leaving the show than Brandon does. Also, based on the preview it seems like Swift and La Toya do hook up, but she disputes it. This can lead to a real problem between the two of them who just can t let anything go.
I honestly don't care too much about Trey and Laura, so I really hope the girl from home just destroys their relationship. I'm sure Laura will find a way to impress another guy with her cartwheels. Maybe even Remo, the sea lion from the aquarium.
I did notice the watches in this episode, but I did not pick up on the clothing, mostly because I never paid much attention to Drama when I was watching Rob and Big. This is definitely the work of MTV, as well as great detective work by you.
What do you think is going to happen to the cast in the upcoming weeks of the show?
MD: Well it's like what John C. Reilly thinks in Step Brothers about being a Doctor, it's all about who you know haha. But seriously, it shouldn't make him a good public speaker but it certainly can't hurt having an educated well articulate parent he definitely could have done better than what was shown. This week was just another example of Marie proving that she deserves to be our favorite in the house even though the peanut butter prank was Robb's idea. Speaking of Robb I don't think he will get the boot from the show as I don't think this is going to be a long lasting problem with him and by that I mean no longer than two episodes since MTV likes to drag this stuff out. Also can I backtrack a bit to when Robb absolutely DESTROYED the telephone by bashing it over his head a couple of episodes ago. How was nothing ever said about this on the show? They just moved along like their phone was always in a thousand pieces and just replaced it with a new one. The joys of television I guess.
In regards to Drama you didn't miss much as the clothing line came out in Fantasy Factory not Rob and Big anyway I digress. In the coming episodes I expect the La Toya/Swift hook up to happen right around the time of the chicken in the bed prank they show in the previews because I think they're still on good terms then. I don't think he'd be pranking her if she wanted to kill him. I hope Laura turns her flirty ways onto another guy outside of the house just to add some excitement between her and Trey because right now they are a snooze fest. As far as Marie goes I expect nothing but excellence from her whether it be pranks or getting hammered just because I feel she is going to continue to do Staten Island proud. By the way I'm insanely excited to see her white girl wasted dancing like a fool as it's always a good time, I've been there myself.
JB: AAAAND on that note I guess that does it this week. It was a pleasure having you join me, and I'm sure you'll be back in the near future to make the most of this somewhat lackluster season. Thanks for filling in.
MD: No problem glad to help out. I'll def do it anytime you need me especially once The Challenge starts
GK: Editor's note: Boston and I may have to expand our coverage of The Challenge to include you guys. So, you have that too maybe possibly look forward to.

Gentle Peeling Smooth Away Cream 4 4
worst purchase ever Used to use the old product but the new one is not good at all. It soaks right into the skin you cannot scrub it off. Its like a lotion. November 14, 2013
Instant Gratification This is my one of my favorite products! I first started using Clarins in 1994. When used correctly, this mask immediately shows a difference in the skin. It's by far the best exfoliator that I've ever used. March 25, 2013
A must have product! I have sensitive skin and many traditional exfoliators irritate my face but this one does not. There are no exfoliating beads so it is super gentle and it works great. After you use it, you can see and feel a difference immediately. July 19, 2012
Smooth away peeling cream I've read reviews on other web sites about how great this peeling cream is. I was excited to get it, but I wasnt excited after I tried it There is no gentle sweeping of this cream after it dries, and even though I do exactly as in how to apply video, I still feel I strech the skin on my cheeks. Ad you can't just wash it with warm water after that, because the face is still kind of sticky, so I wash it again with cleanser. After I wash my face - it does feel smooth. But I just don't like this way of peeling/exfoliating. February 1, 2012

Less than 24 hours after a stirring 1-0 road victory up in Montreal, the Rangers were on the wrong side of the same score in a 1-0 defeat at the hands of the LA Kings Sunday night at The Garden. An inability to put anything past Kings goalie Ben Scrivens, as well as an 0-for-5 performance on the power play---including a pair of failed short 5-on-3s---helped doom the Blueshirts on Sunday, and were major points of discussion in the postgame dressing room.
BlueshirtsUnited.com caught up with Derek Stepan---who played nearly 21 minutes and had three shots on goal, Dan Girardi---who tied for the team lead with four hits, and Henrik Lundqvist---who finished with 29 saves in a hard-luck loss, to discuss Sunday's 1-0 loss.

Very good doctor. His manner is serious and professional, and he takes time to answer all of your questions in a very detailed manner. He does try to help you out in terms of money, suggesting low-cost alternatives if available. He takes the time to research anything he doesn't know, in the rare case that he doesn't - he has a laptop in the examination room, so he can look up any information such as drugs right away. Schedule 1-3 weeks ahead of time, though. The waiting room has never been crowded, but as normal for doctors' offices expect to wait quite a bit. This is mostly because he doesn't cut your visit off short if you are not done talking with him when the "time" runs out.

There's an even happier ending to this heartwarming story. The Cypress Lake High School student body is rallying around two special needs students, making them high school royalty.
Mimi Lopez and Guy Benza are quite the social butterflies, balancing school, extracurricular and of course a social life.
"There's not a person that they haven't met that they don't love. Everyone becomes their best friend," said teacher Todd Dusenberry.
These two sure have a lot on their plate. But Guy and Mimi don't let their challenges slow them down. Both have Down syndrome.
"She's just so special to us. She is our little special miracle, to my mom," said Melanie Ortiz, Mimi's sister.
And while they both have obstacles to overcome, they have plenty of friends to help them along the way.
Mimi and Guy are so popular at Cypress Lake High School that classmates wanted to make sure their senior year was something to remember.
"A couple of seniors said, 'Wouldn't it be neat to try and get Mimi and Guy on the homecoming court?'" Dusenberry said.
So, they started a Facebook page rallying support, and the rest is history.
"Well, right now, I mean, we're happy, so happy," said the homecoming king, Guy Benza.
And after the shock settled, it was time to focus on the important stuff.
Mimi said she was wearing a purple dress, while Guy was wearing black pants and black shoes with a nice purple shirt and tie.
Dressed like royalty from head to toe, it was time for the moment of truth.
Cheering erupted as they were selected king and queen, and two pals will now forever be connected as king and queen.
"As a teacher, you hope you can touch a couple of people's lives and make a difference, and with this I think we've touched thousands," Dusenberry said.
Mimi and Guy's teacher said this is only the second time in U.S. history that two special-needs students at one high school have been elected both homecoming king and queen in the same year, Fox's Katie Jones reported.

A proposal to tow the cars of unlicensed drivers involved in accidents in Montgomery will be considered by the full city council. The driver would have to pay fees and show a valid license and proof of ownership to get it back.
"The city isn't reinventing the wheel. These are laws that are on the books. We're just putting some teeth behind what we have on the books," said Councilman Glen Pruitt, who supports the ordinance.
Drivers would have to a $25 administrative fee in addition to any towing costs. The council is set to consider the proposal on October 1st.

To meet our team, check out the Guide Profile
Though often overlooked, it's no exaggeration to say the entire trekking and expedition industry in Nepal is built on the back of hard working local porters. It is their tireless efforts carrying supplies, equipment and baggage that make journeying to these remote areas possible. So it's very unfortunate that they have endured a history of exploitation and abuse at the hands of the industry. In an effort to combat this, we are firmly committed to porter rights. We ensure all our porters are well treated, well paid and we provide the level of shelter, clothing and footwear that these harsh environments demand. Porters who become sick are treated with the same care and attention as other team members and we have previously used helicopters - at our expense - to rescue porters from dangerous situations. And for the porter's sake we require that all trekkers keep their luggage bag weight under 15kgs/33 pounds. We support the work of the Porter Protection Group (IPPG), making our resources available to them to help improve the working conditions of the porters.

Occupy D.C. crowded in front of the White House yesterday to protest the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which promotes Israel's defense through U.S. relations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with AIPAC the day before.
Between the Occupiers and AIPAC participants, the White House became a hub of noise and debate on Israel. Occupiers pointed fake guns towards the White House, created 'settlements' and 'check points' for 'ethnic cleansing,' and chased a mysterious chalk-writer, stirring up further excitement.

Rodrigues Winery is located in Markland, just off the Trans Canada Highway on Route 81, approximately 80 kms from St. John's.
When the new medical clinic was built to service the area in 1986, Markland's Historic Cottage Hospital was purchased by Dr. Hillary Rodrigues and his wife, Marie-France, it was to become the home of Newfoundland's first winery.
As with any new business, extensive renovations took place and from humble beginnings in 1993 with hand filtering, bottling and corking, the first offering of 300 cases of the flagship Blueberry wine was produced for sale in Newfoundland. It was completely sold out in less than one week.

text: content March 2000 Using Arthritis DrugsTo Treat Cancer Most oncologists continue to overlook the value of COX-2-inhibiting drugs in the treatment of cancer. COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) is an enzyme that many types of cancer cells use to propagate and metastasize. This includes cancers of the colon, pancreas, breast, prostate, bladder, lung, head and neck, to name a few. Several years ago, The Life Extension Foundation reported that European doctors were using COX-2-inhibiting drugs as an adjuvant cancer therapy. A protocol for using COX-2- inhibiting drugs was published so that Foundation members could provide their oncologist with guidelines for using COX-2-inhibitors (such as Lodine or Celebrex) to treat cancer. New findings continue to show that COX-2 inhibitors suppress cancer cell growth. The December 1999 issue of the British Journal of Cancer showed that a COX-2-inhibiting drug significantly reduced the metastasis of colon cancer cells to the lungs of mice. The scientists concluded that COX-2-inhibitors may be a novel class of therapeutic agents to prevent colon cancer metastasis (which is how colon cancer kills). A study published in the January 2000 issue of Carcinogenesis shows that human colorectal cancer cells can be made more sensitive to butyrate (a European cancer therapy) when the butyrate is combined with a COX-2-inhibiting drug. Butyrate helps to induce the differentiation and death (apoptosis) of colorectal tumor cells, but is not readily available in the United States. The doctors conducting this study stated that dietary modification (using therapies such as butyrate) along with COX-2-inhibiting drugs could be considered in the treatment of colon cancer. In the January 1, 2000 issue of the Journal of Immunology, COX-2 inhibition in human lung cancer cells led to marked immune cell infiltration of the tumor and reduced tumor growth. COX-2 inhibition was accompanied by a significant decrease in the immuno-suppressive cytokine IL-10 and a restoration of the more beneficial IL-12. The doctors conducting this study concluded that COX-2 inhibition suppresses tumor activity by restoring the balance of IL-10 and IL-12 in vivo. Many types of cancer cells produce excess amounts of COX-2 and use this as biologic fuel to stimulate their rapid division. The theory behind cancer patients using COX-2- inhibitors is to deny the COX-2 enzyme to cancer cells. In a study published in Nature Medicine (1999;5:1348-1349), doctors found that blocking the COX-2 enzyme interferes with the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). Since tumors require large amounts of blood to sustain their growth and to establish metastatic colonies, inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels is a desirable effect and COX-2-inhibitors appear to do just that. The doctors who conducted this study pointed out that new blood vessel growth is necessary for wound and ulcer healing and expressed concern that COX-2 -inhibitors could produce gastric ulcer complications in some people. This is why it is so important for cancer patients to work closely with their oncologist if they plan to combine a COX-2-inhibiting drug with chemotherapy regimens. The rationale for using a COX-2-inhibitor with other cancer therapies is to increase the chances of a cure by attacking the tumor at multiple points in its division cycle. One of the most exciting new therapies to treat cancer is the combined use of a COX-2-inhibiting drug along with a "statin"drug. The "statin" class of drugs are used to lower cholesterol, but they also suppress the propagation of certain cancer cells. When used together, these two drugs (a statin and COX-2-inhibitor) may provide the necessary one-two punch needed to control or eradicate the malignancy. In order to help those with cancer to convince their doctors to prescribe these drugs, we have provided an updated letter that cancer patients can present to their oncologist for consideration. This letter provides a scientific basis for an oncologist to prescribe these potentially life-saving drugs to cancer patients now! To access this updated letter, click here. In each issue of Life Extension magazine, we endeavor to enlighten the reader to crucial information that they would not have learned about anywhere else. We know that some members find this information technically challenging. To resolve this problem, The Life Extension Foundation expects to open a medical clinic in the United States in the year 2000. Once the clinic is established, Foundation members will gain access scientifically validated therapies without having to travel to other countries. For Information About Joining The Life Extension Foundation Click Here CANCER UPDATE The Life Extension Foundation has published an extensive array of updated cancer treatment protocols based on findings from the scientific literature and the clinical experience of practicing oncologists.

The hostess staff were not professional and overall the restaurant was under-resourced and unable to accommodate the demands being placed on it by a full house of diners. The plates were warm but not as hot as they should be - at that point we didn't want to chance sending it back not knowing when we would receive replacement dish. Lack of service is the biggest area of improvement for this restaurant.
- Not so great this timeStanVIPDined on 9/27/2014We had a so-so dinner on Saturday night. They appeared to be overwhelmed with the crowd and our service was awful. We have been there many times before, including hosting our wedding party there this summer, and had excellent experiences. This time was an exception and not much fun.
- MargaritaHard2impressDined on 9/27/2014We went in September for our anniversary. I liked the ambiance because it wasn't too crowded and it was quiet. We sat on the patio and the view of the courtyard was very nice. The staff was very friendly and right away said happy anniversary to us, they even gave us a dessert to help us celebrate. The trout I ordered was very delicious and my husbands lamb was tasty but a bit chewy. Overall the experience was great!Special Features:
- Nice meal, great service.N2foodzDined on 9/12/2014Nice meal and great service with an adequate wine list. Ordered the grilled artichokes as appetizers and they were a little charred and dry but still very ediable. The rest of the meal was just as described on the menu. Very well prepared and flavorful. The service was responsive, friendly and knowledgeable without being overbearing. Overall a nice dinner with friends over good food and wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not worth the moneyOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/9/2014Pricey, $53 for a steak that came out undercooked and the spice coat on the outside was burnt which ruined the taste of the steak, and to top it off no side came with the steak, not worth your time or money.
- Terrible serviceMeatzDined on 9/6/20148pm reservation. There was only four tables of guests currently dining; so needless to say, service should have been more available. Entree was served before I finished my salad; we asked if we could wait for the main course so we could enjoy our cocktails and apps. Server told us they were already ready. He was not friendly, and at the end of the meal, we inherited another server. I had to get out of my seat to retrieve the bill because no one checked on us once dessert was served. Sad also to say, filet was burnt on one side and over seasoned with salt. Would I come here again? Absolutely not. Been to Elways both in Cherry Creek and downtown Denver and never had this type of horrible service for "fine dining".Special Features:
- Amazing Time!!!Mir2014Dined on 9/5/2014Staff was absolutel amazing even though we showed up about 25min before they stopped serving dinner, food was outstanding!!!!Special Features:

- Steak wise is excellent, but can...Foodlover1Dined on 8/3/2014Excellent steakhouse restaurant, definitely needs to improve side orders and desserts. Would be nice to see some Elway's memorabilia in the restaurant. Good wine list, great location, outstanding patio/terrace. Service it's ok but they can do better. Congrats, by the way my kids loved it!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Perfect Steaks in the GardenKiwiLizDined on 7/6/2014A lovely night out introducing our friends from Hawaii too Vail. The steaks were perfectly prepared and the service was friendly and attentive. The outdoor seating surrounded by all the colorful gardens made for a memorable evening..Special Features:
- a luscious dinner in VailreldaDined on 7/3/2014This is our second time eating at this fabulous restaurant..... the sea bass was cooked to perfection. The Brussels sprouts were amazing. Again, the meal was more than super, the attention to detail on presentation, and our needs was impeccable. The rest of the group all chose meat for dinner and there were no complaints on taste, or presentation.Special Features:
- Disappointed - Need a RefundJosieDined on 6/20/2014We went to Elway's to celebrate a 50th birthday. Unfortunately our waiter, Ross, did not even acknowledge this happy event. Our steaks were burned on the outside and raw on the inside. Instead of correcting this issue our waiter swapped our steaks... I've never seen anything like this at a fine dining establishment. Overall thoroughly disappointed - I would like my money back.
- Not the sameSpenceDined on 6/18/2014Though our meal was good, it was not great. The menu was more extensive than the airport Elway's but the lack of summer traffic in Vail probably creates challenges for a restaurant being on top of it's came. Everything except the steak was very good, but not great. The steak definitely had been on hand to long... people who prefer meat very rare can spot instantly the taste when mean has started to turn. We would return in the winter with enthusiasm and no apprehension, but not in the summer unless we see a number of great reviews coming in.Special Features:
- Disappointed........YuckVIPDined on 6/17/2014Had hoped to have a great steak dinner and was very disappointed. The ribeye was badly charred and had been heavily over salted. The Caesar salad was embarrassing for a steak place and we had the smallest serving of $9 broccoli I've ever been served. The best part of the meal was the blue cheese olives in the martinis!! Overpriced and poorly executed.........
- underwhelmedwanderlustDined on 6/17/2014Beautiful evening to be outdoors. Drinks were exceptional. Short Rib was large portioned, tasty but more of a piece of brisket than a rib, mashed potatoes delicious. Artichoke usually enjoyable but on the 'skinny' side. Ahi salad - salad was fresh and multilayered in taste, but ahi was quite bland. Turtle cheesecake - loss - plain cheese cake with a load of pecans in a very diluted and tasteless chocolate sauce. No rich chocolate or caramel taste or substance. You know the waiter KNOWS it is a no go when most is left on the plate and no inquiry as to wanting it to be boxed or if you liked it.
- Football and ffoodnot compatibledmcleanDined on 6/14/2014The ambience is great. Service is very good--the staff was very efficient. I planned on the filet mignon, but our server suggested the NY strip was tastier. He then went into a lesson on how the meat was butchered and prepared so that it has a distinctive charred, but not burnt exterior. The in house butchers insure each cut is worth the $50 you're shelling out for a hunk of meat with no sides. Our salads were wet -- I would expect a restaurant of this calibre to have a salad spinner. Guess what else. My first cut into my steak was all grissle. Our side of potatoes au gratin were inedible. They were greasy potatoes in a casserole dish that I would have been embarrassed to serve. All in all, I suggest looking for better value in Vail.
- Not like Cherry Creek Elways at allLisaJaneDined on 6/11/2014I have been going to the Elways at Cherry Creek for years to celebrate my friend's birthday. We decided to go to Vail this time. First, the place was almost empty, which was a shock. Very little "Elway stuff" on the walls. Then we found out that some of our very favorite things on the menu weren't on the menu as we were still technically in the off season. (Mid June). So were were disappointed. Food and experience is not as good as Cherry Creek and I am not sure if we will return or just go back to Cherry Creek.Special Features:
- Excellent dinner!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/7/2014We were in Vail during the GoPro Games and were concerned about being able to find a quiet place for dinner. Elways not only fit the bill, but made it a memorable night! The service was excellent, from being greeted and seated right away on a covered patio to a wait team who took care of us throughout the leisurely meal. Steaks were cooked just as we requested and sides were well prepared and large enough to share. Desert, consisting of a scoop of ice cream and shot of a liquore of choice was unique and fun. Than kyou for a great evening!Special Features:
- The following 252 reviews are from the Elway's Vail reviews archive.
- Elegant, nice experienceJlc007Dined on 5/31/2014The service was as good as we've had at any steakhouse. Our server Ross was engaging, smart and kind. Steaks were perfect. This was a good choice for a special occasion.Special Features:
- Doesn't compare to Elway's qualityFoodieCriticVIPDined on 5/31/2014My honey and I are big fans of Elway's restaurants and frequent the two in Denver (downtown and Cherry Creek) on a regular basis. While the service is decent at the Elway's in Vail, the food quality just does not compare to the Denver locations. We shared a steak the last time we dined at the Vail location and it looked like it had been aged for a little too long. Even the server made a comment that the steak might look a little different in this lighting (on the patio). We love Elway's but after the third try in Vail, I can't say that we will go back.
- Delicious!!!Lynn44Dined on 5/18/2014This was the second time we were at the Elway's in Vail!!!! The filet is the best steak I have ever heard.......just delicious. The yukon mashed potatoes are my favorite...the waiter told me that they we gluten free. A relaxing evening with excellent food and we had great service.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/2/2014Staff courteous and attentive. Can not recommend a steak house that is unable to cook a steak. We were delivered 6 steak knives, none of which could cut the "New York strips" we ordered. The steak was tasty and cooked properly but NOT a New York Strip, and too tough to be cut by even 6 of their steak knives. Baked potato good and mushrooms good. Chocolate cake tasted like typical "box cake". The place should be perfect but it is far from it. Wish they could get it together.
- DisappointedBermudafoodieDined on 4/26/2014Having been to Elways in Den many times I expected much better service and it was almost empty that night. Being known for their steaks , the quality of the beef was fabulous but we both had requested MR and they were M. That might seem silly but we went there for a juicy steak! We didn't say anything since service was so poor we didn't want to wait any longer! We both live in the valley and I think I'll go back to Elways in Denver for my next steak fix! Many thanks for asking.Special Features:
- Good but not greatVailskibumDined on 4/20/2014Had dinner at Elways last Sunday. Food was good but not the best we had during our week in Vail. There are much better options for high end food on Vail.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- just finerichardDined on 4/19/2014Excellent food. Great location in Vail Village. Great Bulgarian waitor named Vasil. Good kids menu. Great steak. One of the best hamburgers ever.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dear Johnmyrnabird57Dined on 4/16/2014There was a fine dining atmosphere. John's salad was ample and outstanding. Elway's salmon with shrimp and lump crab was fresh and delectable. The service was impeccable. For my birthday celebration, we were served a scrumptious chocolate dessert on the house. Plus, I was given a special gift of Elway's steak seasoning. It was a pricey evening, but I'm worth it!Special Features:
- Overrated hot spotskimausVIPDined on 4/10/2014We were excited to try this hot spot but we had a hard time finding much positive with this experience. The atmosphere was very stark. The restaurant had way too many families with out of control kids and the food was not memorable. Our filet mignon steak was served on a white plate, no garnish and wasn't tender. Red pepper soup and Ahi tuna appetizer was good. Compared to our dinner earlier in the week at Russels Steakhouse, atmosphere, food and service was lacking. Comparing to my birthday meal at Flame Steakhouse with similar price point, the atmosphere and service at Flame were outstanding. Flame's steak came served on a sizzling platter with awesome sauces described in mouthwatering detail by our server. Just don't get the Elways hypeSpecial Features:
- Great experienceKlhowlsDined on 3/29/2014Pretty much what you expect in a prime steakhouse. The steaks were great, cooked perfectly with a nice char on the outside and the sides were fairly unique and tasty. The service was great and would recommend this place to people who love prime steakhouses.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- #1TDineVIPDined on 3/29/2014My wife and I eat at the best steakhouses across the US & this was hands down the best start to finish meal we've ever had. Bone in-filet was awesome along with everything else we are. I highly recommend it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stick with meatOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/27/2014Meat was without par. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. Not a degree above or below requested doneness. Crab cakes were ok, as was the Mac n cheese. Drinks strong and service fast and pro.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Doesn't Live Up to the NameFoodieVIPDined on 3/23/2014The service was merely acceptable. The food was average, particularly given the prices. The name and reviews attracted us, but we won't be back. The restaurant doesn't deliver the value expected from its pricing. There are many better options in Vale.
- Ruined my eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 3/22/2014The good was ok but when paying with a check card drWing from am account with more than smoke funds, I was told the card was declined. I paid with another card. Upon checking with the bank I was informed the restaurant had reversed charges. The embarrassment ruined the evening and really the trip. Avoid this place at all costs

Good amino for a good price, I know it works great for me cause when I take on an empty stomach my drill sgt stands at attention.

This product is great. The price is right and the effectiveness of vaso-dilation to get the blood flowing to the muscles and all distal regions helps with development and recovery. I recommend it.

This Stuff is insane. I live by it. The pump it gives is beyond the best I have ever felt.

There's nothing fancy about this... it does it's job and you get what you pay for. It is a solid amino acid but I didn't really notice anything. I probably won't try again.

I've been taking it for about a month now and I can really feel the extra pump it gives me during my workouts. It also seems to help me sleep at nigh when I take it right before I go to sleep.

This is one of 4 supplements I take for my pre-workout stack. When I don't take this supplement, I definitely notice the difference. Great to stack with Beta Alanine for a great pump.
Dec 8, 2013
This product (Now L Arginine) did have some results. However its impact is very minor. The differences are hard to recognize as I go throughout my daily routine. However everyone is different. Why not give it a shot?
Dec 3, 2013
I just started taking this supplement and I can honestly say that I can definitely feel that it has helped me with my workouts. I take 1 pill with the C-4 30 min before workout. I can do an extra Rep on every exercise in my routine.

Works awesome. You get a great pump for a cheap price

I recommend L-arginine for anyone who wants an inexpensive boost while working out. I am on my 3rd cycle of this and it worked great when I first started and I'm slowly starting to see the results of this supplement pick back up. This really does help with blood flow.(All over your body) if you know what i mean. I find that this is a great supplement used in conjuction with Kre-alkalyn. I haven't used it with L-carnitine yet but I would imagine I would see phenomenal results. ***** your own tolerance to find you right dosage. I usually take 2 pills in the morning 2 pills in the afternon, and 2 pills before bed ( on off days). On workout days I take 2 in the morning, 2 about an hour before workout and 2 before bed. I drink it with cranberry juice.

E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, highlights the latest in interactive games.
The Sony Vaio VGN-NW270F/S is a low-cost, Blu-ray-equipped laptop that makes a great choice for home use and, should you be willing to tote around a 15-inch machine, a decent choice as your everyday, take-it-with-you laptop.
It lacks some standard mainstream laptop features, including an integrated Webcam and multimedia control buttons, but the Sony Vaio VGN-NR498 holds some appeal thanks to its decent performance, good battery life, and excellent keyboard. Still, there's a cheaper version of this Vaio laptop we like better.
With Blu-ray playback, a large screen and decent discrete graphics, the Sony Vaio FW560F/T is a very compelling sub-$1,000 multimedia notebook.
Sony's unique attempt at a big-screen hybrid looks great and is reasonably priced, but it works better as a laptop than a tablet.
Pricing not available
The Sony Vaio Fit 14 is an all-around excellent laptop for the money that will satisfy the basic demands of everyday use for many people and look good doing it.
Sony's thin, powerful Tap 11 tablet shows up the competition in terms of design. It's not ideal for everyone, but only a few tweaks away from being the runaway leader in this smallish category.
Road warriors will be hard-pressed to find another ultralight with lower weight, longer battery life, and more features than the Sony VAIO TR2A.
While there are certainly things to like about the Sony Vaio Duo 11, the design gets in the way of enjoying them.
With slim 13-inch SSD laptops now well under $1,000, Sony's expensive, high-end Z series laptop is a tough sell, although the long-life slice battery and unique GPU/optical dock help make its case.
There may be a lot of touch-screen tabletop Windows 8 tablet PCs, but the Vaio Tap 21 has the looks to compete.

SEATTLE -- Ben Schroeter is a salesman at heart. An unabashed, unrepentant career pot salesman.
"I started selling pot at Rainier Beach High School in 1974 when I was 14 years old," he said, bagging up a few ounces of bud he had just procured from a grower Wednesday.
One would think the opening of new, legal pot stores in Washington would have him weighing other options, but not so.
"I've always said if the government can put me out of business by legalizing pot, then I'm all for it."
Schroeter is so open about his dealing that he has a Facebook page, and even hands out business cards. He was at Tuesday's opening of Seattle's first pot shop, Cannabis City, and selling to people waiting in line because his dope costs less than half of the new retail prices.
"And I always insist that what I sell is a top notch product," he said.
The state says as more stores open up, prices will go down and put the likes of Schroeter out of business. But unlike seedy street dealers, Schoeter considers himself more along the lines of a wine boutique, where cannabis connoisseurs will go for specialized products and support their local dealer.
"For the same reason that people don't go to Walmart, they like to support their little local shop," he said.
All black market dealers are banking on the belief that police will leave them alone. The Seattle Police Department's policy on pot is a bit hazy, but a spokesman told KING 5 Wednesday that unless someone is dealing or using marijuana in an egregious way – like around kids at a park -- they will likely let it go. Violators would be issued the equivalent of a traffic ticket.
Schroeter said he experienced that first hand when approached by police while dealing outside a Seattle concert recently.
"I thought that they had taken all of my pot, but when they gave me my bag back they left me almost all of my pot," he said. He wasn't issued a citation.
Schroeter isn't getting rich by any means. In fact, these days he's using his buddy's beat up sedan to make deliveries because he can't afford to fix his transmission. And while he campaigned for the passage of I-502, including the regulation and taxation of pot, he doesn't adhere to any of it.
Federal authorities have said they will leave Washington largely alone as long as marijuana is kept away from children and off the black market. Critics say dealers like Schroeter are undermining the very thing they've all worked so hard for. Schroeter disagrees.
"I think we've gotten to that point where we have an attitude toward things that it's not going to be a big issue."
On Wednesday an SPD spokesman said the department's main marijuana focus will be on curbing impaired driving and keeping weed away from kids.
Schroeter likens black market dealing to selling fish on the docks. It's something that is regulated by the government, but people have just learned to accept a little bit of illegal activity if it benefits both parties.

Images are well exposed under a range of lighting conditions, meaning you won't have to spend too much time with the exposure compensation button, while there's a smooth tonal noticeable in the images. As well as shooting in Evaluative metering, you can switch to Partial, Centre-weighted or Spot metering in the menu of the EOS 600D.
Canon EOS 600D review - RAW/JPEG
The Canon EOS 600D's .CR2 Raw files can be read using Photoshop CS5 or Elements 9 (you'll need to update to the latest Camera RAW - 6.4, which is still in beta, but will read and allow for conversion), as well as similar programs. There's also Canon's bundled Digital Photo Professional software too.
As you'd expect from an unadjusted Raw file, they lack the punch and end results of the output JPEG file, which has a decent level of contrast and sharpness applied to them to deliver attractive final images. That said, to achieve the best quality from the chip, Raw conversion is recommended.
Canon EOS 600D review - Colour & White Balance
Colour reproduction from the Canon EOS 600D is just a little on the punchy side of neutral, delivering a pleasing result. If that's not enough, then there's the EOS 600D's Picture Styles - Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome. There are also three user-defined modes, allowing you to set Sharpness, Contrast, Saturation and Color Tone, which can be saved and used any time.
There are 6 white balance modes (Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Tungsten light, White fluorescent light & Flash), as well as a Custom mode, white balance bracketing and Auto White Balance (AWB), which performs very well, though can be a touch warm indoors.
Canon EOS 600D review - ISO Sensitivity & Image Noise
The Canon EOS 600D has a standard ISO range of 100-6400 that can be expanded to an ISO equivalent of 12,800 (the 600D's H setting) at full resolution, though you will need to activate the ISO expansion in the Custom menu.
Even for an APS-C sized sensor, 18-megapixels may be seen as a bit of a squeeze for a sensor that size, with a poor signal-to-noise ratio resulting in pronounced noise. However, with some clever engineering has resulted in some of the best results for a camera of this class. Noise in Raw files up to ISO 800 is barely noticeable and very well controlled. ISO 800 is starting to show minor signs of breaking up, while ISO 1600 displayed some unwanted colour noise. Above that, and at ISO 3200 & 6400, Noise is noticeable, but considering the sensitivity, is well controlled. At the ISO equivalent of 12,800, and as you'd expect, Noise is quite pronounced but if it's your only option, still very useable.
When Raw files are compared alongside JPEGs of the same shot and at higher ISO settings, then it's the JPEG files that appear to handle Noise better, though this is at the expense of sharpness - this is where Raw processing is advised, allowing you to get the best balance of Noise control and sharpness.
Canon EOS 600D review - Sharpness & Detail
The 18MP sensor in the Canon EOS 600D is capable of delivering an impressive amount of detail, allowing you plenty of flexibility if it comes to the need to crop the image fairly aggressively. While JPEGs are more than acceptable, they do tend to be a touch softer, becoming more noticeable at higher ISOs as noise control takes prominence, with Raw files allowing you to resolve the most detail from the chip.
The 18-55mm kit lens has its weaknesses, tending to be a touch soft in the corners wide-open and struggling to get the optimum sharpness from the sensor. If you want to get the best from the camera, then a higher quality optic is recommended.

Adel-Al-Jubeir: Iranians charged in U.S. over plot to kill Saudi envoy
U.S. authorities broke up a plot by two men linked to the Iranian government to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in the United States, U.S. officials said on Tuesday, escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said one of two men charged in the plot, both originally from Iran, had been arrested and had confessed.
The other man, who was still at large, was described in the criminal complaint as being a member of the elite Quds Force, which is part of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
"High-up (Iranian) officials in those agencies … were responsible for this plot," Holder told a news conference. "I think one has to be concerned about the chilling nature of what the Iranian government attempted to do here," he said.
The two men were charged in a U.S. court. Gholam Shakuri was described in the criminal complaint as a member of the Quds Force and is believed to be in Iran.
The arrested suspected was Manssor Arbabsiar, 56, who is a naturalized U.S. citizen and holds an Iranian passport. He was
detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on September 29.
Arbabsiar made a brief appearance in a Manhattan courtroom where he was ordered detained and assigned a public defender. He appeared in blue jeans and a dress shirt. He had thinning gray hair and a scar on the left side of his face.
Iran swiftly rejected the allegation. "The Islamic Republic of Iran has rejected U.S. accusations of the country plotting to assassinate the Saudi envoy to Washington as a prefabricated scenario," state English language Press TV said, without elaborating or giving a source.
U.S. officials said there had also been initial discussions about other alleged plots, including attacking the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Washington, however no charges for that were revealed on Tuesday.
The United States slapped economic sanctions on five Iranians including four senior members of the Quds.
The target of the plot was Saudi ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir, according to the criminal complaint. U.S. allied Saudi Arabia and Iran, both major oil exporting countries, are historic regional rivals that have struggled for dominance in the Gulf.
Relations were already sour between the Tehran and Washington, which accuses the Islamic republic of backing terrorism and pursuing nuclear arms, a charge Iran has denied.
Last month hopes were raised of improved ties when Iran released two U.S. hikers accused of spying when they were arrested on the Iran-Iraq border in 2009. Holder said there was no link between the hikers' case and the alleged plot.
Officials said that the Saudi ambassador, Adel Al-Jubeir, was never in danger. President Barack Obama was briefed in June about the alleged plot and through a spokesman expressed gratitude for it being disrupted.
The assassination plot began to unfold in May 2011 when Arbabsiar approached an individual in Mexico to help, but that individual turned out to be an informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
The confidential source, who was not identified, immediately tipped law enforcement agents, according to the criminal complaint. Arbabsiar paid $100,000 to the informant in July and August for the plot, a down payment on the $1.5 million requested.
Shakuri approved the plan to kill the ambassador during telephone conversations with Arbabsiar, the complaint said.
After Arbabsiar was arrested in New York, he allegedly confessed and provided U.S. authorities with more details about the Iranian government's alleged involvement, Holder said.
The men are charged with one count of conspiracy to murder a foreign official, two counts of foreign travel and use of interstate and foreign commerce facilities in the commission of murder for hire and one count each of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism.
Authorities said no explosives were acquired for the plot and the weapon of mass destruction charge can range from a simple improvised device to a more significant weapon. They face up to life in prison if convicted.

The Canadian flag we know today was born in 1965. After a lengthy search and much debate, the red and white design with a single red maple leaf in the centre became our national flag, affectionately known as "The Maple Leaf."
Soon after the Maple Leaf began flying, however, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson grew concerned that the flags on federal government buildings seemed to be fading unequally and were not the same shade of red. An effort led by the Department of National Defence to ensure all Canadian flags met the same standards became an issue of national importance, with many government departments getting involved in the project. National Research Council scientists stepped in to help make sure the Maple Leaf looked its best.
Setting the standard for a national symbol
Canada's flag is a single piece of fabric. This means the red sections of the flag are dyed onto the fabric, making fading a concern. Depending on the fabric used and the length of time spent outdoors, early flags quickly became discoloured – white areas turned grey and red sections turned everything from pink and orange to many shades of rust and red!
|Canadian Flag
Colour experts at NRC specified the exact shade of red for the Canadian flag by using a research-grade spectrophotometer (which measures light and colour) to determine the exact colour of a sample flag provided by Prime Minister Pearson. Researchers then proposed specific fade-resistant printing dyes and nylon taffeta fabric for the flag to make sure future versions would look the same and fade more slowly and evenly.
Canada still has a National Flag Committee with members from industry, textile testing labs and various government departments. The committee regularly reviews Canada's flag standards to make sure our national emblem is always at its best.
The Interdepartmental Study Group on the Canadian Flag laid out standards for more than just the flag's colours and fabric. When the "Standard for the National Flag of Canada" was published in 1966, the committee had outlined specifications for everything including dimensions, grommets, material, cordage, sewing thread, wooden toggles, brass clips, laundering and flag disposal procedures.
There are actually three different sets of standards for the flag: one for outdoor use, one for indoor use and one for flags that are to be used only once.
In 1970, NRC adjusted the flag's colours once again to meet new international standards.
Flags are exposed to some pretty harsh conditions while outdoors. Rain, high winds and strong ultraviolet rays from the sun can damage fabric and fade colours. In 1965, newspapers reported that the flags on Parliament Hill needed to be replaced every two days!
NRC researchers have spent a lot of time testing how Canada's flag stands up to different conditions. To test how different red dyes faded, six flags were hung on a clothesline atop an NRC building in Ottawa in 1965. Passers-by were rather puzzled by the odd arrangement of flags, which were later moved to traditional flag poles.
|Seven flags are subjected to varying wind speeds in NRC's propulsion wind tunnel.
More recently, wear and tear tests have been conducted in NRC's wind tunnels to determine which fabrics and stitching methods were most durable. Researchers also looked at which materials required the least amount of wind to be able to fly – they called this the "flag flutter frequency."
Thanks to tests like these, scientists have been able to extend outdoor flag life to at least 30 days – a dramatic improvement over the mere two days Canada's earliest Maple Leaf flags lasted in the elements.
Fixing national colours in other countries
NRC's flag research has helped other countries protect their national colours as well. After setting the standards for the Maple Leaf, NRC's researchers were approached by other government officials to conduct similar research for the flag of the Bahamas.

Alright we have all heard the rumors; I do not like getting a 38 year old PG (albeit we need him) for Batum. Batum is a proven commodity and I wish these rumors would stop. If that were to occur I think Phoenix should also throw in Gortat! I do not like him when we play against him as he is a tough SOB, but could make the trade more beneficial for the Blazers

Of all the key moments in the development of John Lucas, the journeyman point guard signed by the Jazz last month to back up Trey Burke, perhaps the best starting point is when he found himself trapped in a Chicago barbershop surrounded by a mob of people, all desperate to see an NBA star.
It was the 1980s and Lucas was about 5 at the time, far from the start of his NBA career. The fans were not there to see him, or even his father, John Lucas II, a former No. 1 overall draft pick then playing for the Milwaukee Bucks.
John Lucas III file
Point guard, Utah Jazz
Age » 30
Hometown » Houston
College » Oklahoma State/Baylor
Career » In five NBA seasons has averaged 5.1 points, 1.5 assists. ... Played for Houston (2005-07), Chicago (2010-12) and Toronto (2012-13). ... Also played in Spain, China, Italy and the NBA Development League.
Personal » Son of former NBA player and coach John Lucas II.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The attraction was Michael Jordan, a native North Carolinian like Lucas II, who was spending the day with the pair.
Even for a young Lucas, who grew up around the NBA, serving as a ballboy in every city his dad played and, later, coached, this was an eye-opening moment.
"Just seeing how the fans reacted to him in the barbershop," Lucas said, "I was like, I want that. It was unreal. I wanted that life."
Lucas, 30, has spent five seasons in the NBA, played overseas and in the D-League for parts of three others. He's never come close to "that life," although he had his own successful stint with the Bulls from 2010-12 as a popular backup for All-Star Derrick Rose.
He still prefers to go to the barber, eschewing the common NBA move of hiring someone to come to him. He says he waits in line. No mobs bother him.
The Jazz signed Lucas to a two-year contract late in free agency. He has never averaged more than 14.8 minutes a game nor more than 2.2 assists. Former coaches sing his praises as a teammate and a leader. They say he will be a valuable mentor for Burke, the National College Player of the Year whom the Jazz traded up to acquire on draft night.
"John's been around the pro game all of his life because of his dad," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said."And he's had to fight and claw for everything he's gotten. He's a smart player, he's a great worker, I think it's the perfect fit for him."
Lucas was a safe choice for the Jazz, in as much as he won't threaten Burke or expect to be the point guard for the long-term. But the Jazz believe they have more than a capable stop-gap and more than a positive locker room influence.
To understand what John Harding Lucas III has to offer the Jazz an observer would have to go back more a decade.
To the haircut he didn't want to get.
Changed by tragedy
It was 2003 and Lucas was freshly arrived in Stillwater, Okla., a refugee from a Baylor program shattered by the shooting of player Patrick Dennehy and the subsequent arrest of forward Carlton Dotson for his murder.
Dennehy had transferred to Baylor from New Mexico that summer, and spent time training with Lucas and his father in Houston.
"I still think about Pat Dennehy and Carlton Dotson to this day," Lucas said.
The murder led to an NCAA investigation that revealed numerous violations, and Lucas was one of four players who opted to transfer from the program without sitting out a season. Which is how he found himself at Oklahoma State in a face-off with Eddie Sutton. Lucas describes himself as "still kind of wild." He wore his hair in braids.
Lucas remembers Sutton telling him, "We want you here, but you got to do one thing: You got to cut your hair."
"It didn't really hit me," Lucas said. "Iverson, everybody got braids. What are you talking about?"
This turned out to be a critical time for Lucas. He led Oklahoma State to the 2004 Final Four, hitting the game-winning shot in the Elite Eight to beat St. Joseph's.Next Page >

National Geographic's Little Kids website has found a fun and messy experiment to teach your little kid about the liquid and solid phases of matter. Before conducting the experiment read over all the directions with your child and have them form a hypothesis, what they think will happen. Encourage their curiosity by having them feel all the components of the experiment, water and cornstarch, before making their hypothesis. Once they have decided on their hypothesis conduct the experiment.
Here's what you'll need for this cool experiment:
- Newspapers (This can get very messy!)
- Mixing Bowl
- 16 ounces of Cornstarch
- Measuring Cups
- Water
- Blue Food Coloring (or whichever color your child prefers)
Experiment Procedures:
- Pour the 16 ounces of cornstarch into the mixing bowl.
- Use the measuring cups to add 1 ½ cups of water to the cornstarch.
- Add about 15 drops of food coloring to the mix.
- Here is the fun part! Use your hands to mix the experiment ingredients.
Now they you've made your blue goo ask your child some questions as they play with it. Was their hypothesis correct? Or was it incorrect? How does the blue goo feel? Does it feel more like the water or the cornstarch? Point out to your child that if you squeeze the blue goo in your hand it feels like a solid but if you open your hand it spreads out like a liquid. The blue goo can act as both a liquid and a solid!

One benefit of my job is that I often travel to Virginia and stay within 20min of Virginia Beach, VA. So this year, while I was on business travel, Casey and Hailey came to visit me!
This was Hailey's first trip to a ocean beach! She had the greatest time playing in the sand, waves, and looking for sand crabs that you can dig up when the ocean waves go out.
Casey loved the fact that we go to go out and eat at one of her favorite (and gluten-free) restaurants, P.F. Chang's. Hailey was less impressed with their food, even though their chicken nuggets for kiddos were delicious!
