A word from Sable Kitchen & Bar
As a gastro-lounge, Sable Kitchen & Bar will do for hand-crafted cocktails, spirits and wine what the gastro-pub has done for beer: pairing seasonally-inspired cuisine with an artfully designed cocktail, spirits and wine program. Sable's menu fuses traditional cooking techniques with a modern flair that seeks to highlight the harmony between cocktails, spirits, wine and cuisine. The bar menu will focus on snacks, medium sized plates and brick oven flatbreads while the dinner menu combines small, medium and large plates to encourage sampling and sharing. With a commitment to working with independent Midwest farmers and purveyors, the menu will draw inspiration from local and organic ingredients—everything from seasonal produce to free-range meats and sustainable seafood. A sleek and sexy space, Sable is a refreshing update on the glamour of the 1940's, as old Hollywood charm mingles effortlessly with modern industrial touches and classic Chicago warmth.Continued

- excellent small platesJG12VIPDined on 9/21/2014We shared three half portion dishes at brunch. All were very substantial and the combination was a very filling and delicious brunch for two persons that also came at a very reasonable cost. In particular the special of turkey confit was as wondeful as it was described. I'd return anytime for brunch.Special Features:
- Great food, slow serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014My girlfriend and I went for dinner later on a Friday night-- the food really was delicious, and so was my margarita, but the service was just too slow. I would recommend this restaurant for the food, but be prepared to be patient.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Completely SatisfiedMNHorseyDined on 9/19/2014Super creative menu with a combination of feel good, homey foods elevated to a gourmet level. Deviled eggs, sweet corn creme brûlée, and poutine are must-haves. The environment inside projects a chic modern feel without being snobbish. Exceptional service across the board. Give yourself time to peruse the entire drink menu as there is something to wet everyone's whistle.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday SurprisePizzaVIPDined on 9/18/2014I called a day before our reservation because we were celebrating my friends birthday. We both love Sable and she hadn't been in a while. I just wanted to pre-order a dessert. When she arrived and was sat at the table, a box and card were waiting for her. It was a special cake mix boxed up from Chef Heather and a card signed by the staff wishing her happy birthday. All I asked was for them to send out a dessert and instead they went way above and beyond and got super creative. The food here is insanely good, but wow- the service- unparalleled.Special Features:
- Ok not greatCtfoodmanDined on 9/17/2014Service was good wine list hit the right bases and our appetizers were good but mains were not up to much. Had the lamb with Naan breads more like crisp breads. Last point was the ambience not sure what restaurant wants to be but felt menu didn't fit the location. Was like a night club selling a more farm to table fare didn't gel for me.Special Features:
- Great new findKevinDined on 9/14/2014Great food and excellent service are the stand out features of this restaurant. Foodies will love a different experience. I enjoyed the Charcurie board and the deviled eggs will not allow you to get bored with them ever again! Great wine list and bar drinks.Special Features:
- Great service but food was alrightMayurShenaDined on 9/12/2014Our waiter was amazing! Very patient, and checked up on us often! The appetizers were really great, but did not enjoy the main courses at all.Special Features:
- Small bitesOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/7/2014Menu small but small bites for the table are served, allowing you to taste many items. Very fresh vegetables with amazing flavors. A unique dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good evening, mixed views on foodbonlomDined on 9/2/2014Great bourbon bar with very helpful bartenders...friendly and knowledgable. Good selection of spirits. Okay seating...would have been better near kitchen or outside. Steak tartar was amazing...better than some we tried in Paris. Bacon jam had very little Brie taste. House made fettuccini was way too salty...overwhelming. Scallops had a lot of heat. Pork belly sliders were very good...best of all we tasted. Half servings were good size for two people sharing. Waitress insisted on rearranging our food choices...not sure why...would have preferred it our way.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014Great food and atmosphere but somewhat small portions. The deviled eggs were to die forI would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/30/2014Restaurant completely empty yet we were rushed through our meal. Food on table before drinks that were ordered first? We also asked if we could have a drink at the bar first and was told must sit down, still empty when we left. Appetizers and main courses delicious, dessert really bad. Sorbet warm and mushy, chocolate, from night before and no flavor. Waitress had an attitude and never around to properly serve. Will not go back and only a block away from our apartment.
- Sable ReduxJackDined on 8/29/2014Did a brunch here a year ago and it was great. Dinner ( small plates, dessert, drinks ) was excellent. I know restaurants make it on the Bar but $14 a pop seemed a tad high. Other than that I'll be backI would recommend this to a friend.
- Great tapas, minor service issuesBridgetGDined on 8/28/2014Sable is perfect for tapas; the majority of the items are available in half-plates… perfect for sharing lots of choices! We loved the bacon dates (just 2 bites for the half), the bacon jam brie, and the curry. Our favorite plate was the charcuterie – spectacular down to the wee cucumber and edible flower. My husband was in heaven with the whiskey menu – 2 pages for rye whiskeys alone! The downfall was the service for drinks… painfully slow. The only other minor distraction was the overly-friendly floor manager, Josh. I enjoy a quick chat with restaurant staff. But when I look down at my plate more than once please finish your story and make an exit… I want to eat!Special Features:
- WineDownVIPDined on 8/21/2014Food was good, service was very very slow. It started off having to wait 15-20 min just for our waitress to come to our table and greet us. It was down hill from there.Special Features:
- Too Little for Too MuchMichaelCDined on 8/18/2014My boyfriend and I spent $50 on half-orders, per our server's recommendation. I believe we each left there with no more than ten bites of food a piece. This is not an exaggeration. We ended up going elsewhere for more food later in the evening. What we ate tasted pretty good, but the overall experience was terribly unsatisfying. Once our server realized that we were not drinking alcohol and were not ordering anything additional, we became dead last on her list of priorities. From the time we finished our food (I hesitate to call it a meal), it was about 15 minutes before she even bothered to return to our table. This was before 7:00 on a Monday evening. It was not even close to busy.Special Features:
- Fav Spot in ChicagoOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/17/2014I lived in Chicago for 3 years and every time I am back in town for work I make sure to do Sable for brunch or dinner! Always amazing all around!Special Features:
- Always AmazingDiddyDined on 8/16/2014A wonderful Saturday night at Sable Kitchen. Every dish is better than the last. Some favorites are the Pea Shoot Salad, Deviled Eggs and the lamb. I would bring out of towners and feel confident that a great time would be had. The noise level is a bit loud but the food makes up for it!Special Features:
- Food was great!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/15/2014Loved the concept and the food. Chicken and waffles were to die for. Cheese curds were also amazing. The war of the roses was the best cocktail we found in Chicago. Highly recommend for a fun night out with friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great AgainRichDined on 8/15/2014Went last October for the drink menu, but also the food based on Heather Terhune's reputation and returned again with friends last Friday to treat them. No disappointment since the last time. We love this place. Not too cozy for a romantic date as there is really no booth seating, and what there is is right in front of the open kitchen service counter, but it is a fun place to go. The restaurant or outside to enjoy drinks and dinner, and more toward the front the bar for drinks if you are looking for an upbeat spot. Would imagine it would be great for lunch and cocktails anytime.....or just the cocktails.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A little DisappointingWendyDined on 8/14/2014Nice service and atmosphere. Small, small plates so order 4 or 5 minimum between 2 people. I left ready to find dessert elsewhere.Special Features:
- great for tapas great for cocktailsnateinsnDined on 8/10/2014Loved the food and the bourbon cocktail I had was great. We sat outside. I wish the ambiance outside matched that of inside. Other than that... Go here for a fantastic dining experience. Each unique taste and texture left me wanting more.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/8/2014Order the deviled eggs. They are amazing. Great cocktail list, great service. Dishes to share so you can try a lot of different things.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- small portionsSalukiRDDined on 8/8/2014You don't get much bang for your buck as far as serving size. Everything is very small, hence very overpriced. It was good, you just don't get much of it
- Made My Boyfriend's Birthday Greatnodaybuttoday08Dined on 8/6/2014We had a wonderful time at Sable for my boyfriend's 30th birthday dinner. We've been to Sable many times, and it never disappoints. While we miss the perogies that used to be our favorites on the menu, the food was nonetheless solid. The cocktail menu is still one of the best in the city. And the service is superb without being stuffy. Our server brought us a complimentary mushroom special and invited the chef to our table. All in all, it was a great experience- definitely come for your special occasions. And order a cocktail. :)Special Features:
- Not for large groupsToyaDined on 8/6/2014I had a difficult time with getting receiving seating for a group of 7. The hostess did not appear to be interested in assisting and told me it was impossible. However, when a male member of my party asked, the manager was able to seat us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Annoyed by WaitermmartyDined on 8/3/2014I'm used to going to places with nice cocktails that cost a pretty penny - both my brothers are mixologists in Chicago. So I've been tasting cocktails for years. I always like to try new things, though, so when I arrived I ordered a cocktail that sounded nice..and was. For the second I asked our waiter if he had any suggestions based on my first cocktail. He asked me what I liked. I told him vodka, brandy, cognac... He asked me if I liked fruity drinks. I said no. Then he shook his head, looked at me with a disgusting wide eyed gaze and said, 'Well what DO you like then?!' I was shocked. Surely someone working at a 'fancy cocktail place' knows his menu and can recommend a drink based on a few liquor choices. Apparently not. Disappointing.Special Features:
- Great FOOD and Awesome ServiceJJinDCVIPDined on 8/1/2014A late night meal of small plates was a great way to end a romantic evening.Special Features:
- Special nightChatty24Dined on 8/1/2014Made reservations for my boyfriends birthday. He is a top chef watcher and loves new foods. The atmosphere was amazing. Chef Heather brought him his birthday dessert and made the end of the night perfect. I would highly recommend this to everyone. The food was fantastic as well as the cocktails.Special Features:
- Great place for drinkersfoodiedcDined on 8/1/2014The menu was nice in that you could order half portions of items and share it tapas style. I was not happy with the waiter who kept insisting I try a signature cocktail when I wasn't thrilled with any of the choices. The one he came back with, which was supposed to be a mystery concoction by the bartender, was a signature cocktail that was just ok. The food was good, especially the sweet corn creme brûlée. However, I was turned off by the waiter's insistence that the bartenders can go off menu but in my case they didn't. If you like unique cocktails, then this is the place for you.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/31/2014Our dinner was only fine. Nothing outstanding, nothing horrible... Just meh.
- It was finesimplecriticDined on 7/31/2014Nothing special. Food was pretty good but not spectacular. Not a place for romance, loud, cold & cold.
- may not be typicaljerryDined on 7/26/2014We were there at 1:30 on a Saturday and the place was basically empty. For some reason this meant that our food appeared so quickly that it came before our drinks. So that's not good. On Saturday (and Sunday) it is just a brunch menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderfully unique dinner items!ChrisandNickrraDined on 7/25/2014Definitely will come back again...exquisite dinner menu! Portions are small, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in taste. The Corn Creme Brulee is a must!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FunCBNJDined on 7/25/2014Ate here with my daughter on 7/25. Everything on the menu can be had in small or large plates. We ordered a series of small plates -- and they are small -- but each one was a delicious surprise. They came out serially, so it was one little gem of a dish after another. We loved it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved Sable!BwaughDined on 7/24/2014Had a great time at sable. This is a great place to enjoy small plates with friends. The food and cocktails were unique. Our server wrote down his favorite spots for is and they were all great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, great serviceCapucineDined on 7/21/2014This was my fourth visit to Sable. We sat outside on the East side of the restaurant where we could enjoy the weather and planted beds in a quiet environment. Had one of their specials, the fresh corn flatbread which was so delicious we could have dined on just that. Several small plates followed, all delicious. A minor criticism was that we didn't enjoy the bean mixture that came with the perfectly cooked scallops. Both of our cocktails were interesting and also delicious. The dessert menu was tantalizing, but we were too full to even try one. Next time!Special Features:
- Good Food, Interesting ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/21/2014This was not my first time at Sable, so I was expecting good food with interesting twists on traditional fare. This was the first time that I had less than stellar service. Our server seemed to hover over our decisions a little too long and quickly rattled through options. It may have just been a matter of style, but it ended up making the evening different from previous visits.Special Features:
- Culinary geniusMrsSJCrovoDined on 7/21/2014We were from out-of-town and it was great to experience the latest in food trends. The waiter was very professional and took the time to explain the concept plus how to make our meal enjoyable. Luckily a cool summer evening in Chicago made sitting outside a pleasure which added to the success of the evening overall. The food was outrageously delicious and the cocktails were refreshing. Definitely a hot spot in town - wish we had one in Florida to enjoy!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth a visitThebossDined on 7/19/2014Great service complements an interesting menu and lively cocktail selection.Special Features:
- Worth a goOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 7/18/2014Service was great, food was better. Don't pass up the Short rib slider!Special Features:

PLAYERS: Mike Westhoff
TEAMS: New York Jets
TEAMS: New York Jets
New York Jets special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff is expected to be sidelined until training camp after having surgery on his left leg. Westhoff, a bone cancer survivor, was in Indianapolis recently visiting his son when he heard a sound in his leg - the same one in which a titanium prosthesis was inserted in February 2008. The 64-year-old Westhoff had a malignant tumor found in the leg in 1988, and has needed several operations on it since. The Jets say a piece of the ''contraption'' in Westhoff's leg broke on May 12. He had surgery six days later in Indiana after X-rays revealed the break. Westhoff is back in New Jersey recovering, and assistant special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica will handle his duties in his absence.

Taking home the History Channel's $10,000 prize for designing the "City of no prescription the the best choice discount cialis cialis Future" we have IwamotoScott's vision of San Francisco in 2108. Sometimes we talk about technologies a few years down the road, but we like to keep stuff grounded here at EcoGeek. Looking more than 30 years into the future has always turned out to be craptastically inaccurate.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that this kind of vision is useless. While some elements (giant carbon nanotube algae towers and visit web site levitra testimonial underground hovercar highways) are fairly insane, thinking of the survival of our cities in the face of another century's continued growth is pretty important.
I say hovercars are crazy because I don't really think they'll ever provide an advantage over cars (especially not underground.) And if we're going to have giant algae plants, I assume we'll build them outside of the city where land is cheap generic viagra india exponentially cheaper...so we don't have to build giant carbon nanotube towers to www.asian-americans.com house them. Call me crazy.
Nonetheless, the elements of http://www.artstlouis.org/buy-viagra-50-mg the plan that make sense make great sense. Pulling energy from the sun and storing it in algae on a large scale? Excellent. Powering the city of San Francisco with local underground geothermal power? Fantastic. Taking the load off the follow link canadian pharmacy online rivers and ocean with moisture collectors a la Tatooine? Absolutely fabulous.
Indeed, I think it deserves the $10,000 grand prize, even if I don't think humanity is ever going to graduate to the hovercar...(O Future! Please prove me wrong!)
Tons of pictures after the jump.

When you go to a baseball game at noon and then proceed to stay out til bar time, that's a long day. My thoughts of the game are this: Yovani is awesome and what the hell were the Pirates thinking having Snell throw 130 pitches (and why, oh why, did they try to steal with two outs and Braun at the plate while Snell is throwing his 129th, 130th and 131st pitches to Braun? Tired pitcher/best hitter. This isn't brain surgery.) I had fun making fun of the Pirates bullpen quite a bit and at one point told them "don't even wait for the call, just start throwing." Seriously, it's not like he was throwing a perfect game.
Anyways, Yo's awesome and that's all that matters.
Did anyone enjoy the live twittering of the game? It was a bit difficult and my friends were a little annoyed with me, but I thought it went off well. I get a lot of @replies, so that's cool. Let me know what you think and I might make it a regular thing when I go to games.
Also, today is the last today to Become a Fan of us on facebook and win two tickets to the 5/13 game against the Marlins. They are looking like they will be Field Outfield Reserve which have a face value of $38/ea. So we got that going for us. So, do it already. 125 people can't be wrong.

Coyotes Close Regular Season With 12-2 Loss To Bison
VERMILLION, SD — North Dakota State clinched its third consecutive Summit League title following a 12-3 win against South Dakota Saturday at Nygaard Field.
The Bison (30-15, 13-3 Summit) will be the top seed of the Summit League Tournament, which begins Wednesday in Fargo, N.D. The Coyotes (28-20, 9-8) are seeded third and play the opening game of the tournament against sixth-seeded South Dakota State at 3 p.m. The double-elimination tournament grants the winner the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
NDSU third baseman Amanda Grable was 3-for-4 Saturday with two RBIs and three runs scored. She hit a solo home run to lead off the fourth inning that gave the Bison a 2-0 lead. She singled and scored in each of the last two innings.
USD designated player Shelby Keil earned her third start of the season, had a base hit in the fourth inning, and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly with two outs in the sixth that made it 8-1. Lindsey Boyd's fifth home run of the season, a two-run shot to right, made it 12-3 in the seventh.
Krista Menke (23-6) allowed seven hits and struck out eight in her complete-game effort for the Bison. Menke struck out 19 in 17 1/3 innings during the three-game series.
South Dakota pitchers issued 13 free passes Saturday and 24 in the series. The Coyote defense made four errors, which led to five unearned runs. The Bison scored 11 unearned runs in the three games.
Katie Dinning finished with a .385 batting average during the regular season, which will place her in the top five of the Summit League heading into the tournament. Matley Jones led the team with a .388 average in Summit League play, which ranks in the top 10.

Why Focus on WOMEN- and MINORITIES- SBCs?
EERE SBIR seeks to increase the diversity of our applicant pool in general. We focus on Women-Owned and Minority-Owned small business concerns (SBCs) because they are an excellent diversity indicator. The underserved community now comprises 2/3 of the population. In our initial outreach, however, we discovered low awareness of this program. It's almost as if EERE SBIR grants have been kept secret from many minority- and woman-owned SBCs. Thus, we are more actively encouraging such businesses to apply and move great ideas from cleantech and other cutting-edge industries into action.
Increased SBIR grants to the underserved population will:
- Fund entrepreneurs with what is essentially undiluted capital—project funding is $1.15 million to $1.725 million over three years.
- Offer funds with virtually no strings attached, and the strongest Intellectual Property rights for small businesses in the federal government.
- Serve as a tangible alternative to VC backing, licensing, joint ventures or early acquisition.
- Offer support and validation from federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and panels of expert reviewers they employ.
The first step to apply for a cleantech SBIR grant is to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI). Learn more about the application process today.
Already have a Phase I SBIR grant?
If you have a Phase I grant and your research is going well, you should apply for the Phase II grant in the same topic area. Be advised, however, that the 2011 SBIR Reauthorization has added new requirements and expanded the commercialization focus required. You should take advantage of DOE-SBIR's commercialization assistance and explore whether EERE's Commercialization team has initiatives that might be helpful.
Finishing your Phase II SBIR grant and wondering what next?
DOE-SBIR's commercialization assistance can help you get started. But you also should explore EERE's Funding Opportunities. In addition, EERE's Commercialization team can help you link to other private and nonprofit funding sources and or licensing and joint venture options.
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) SBIR Team
An n SBIR goal since 1982, has been to "foster and encourage" innovation with underserved populations in a sustainable way. Our specific goal is to research, test and validate innovative interventions that promise to increase the applications and other participation of underserved populations such as women and minorities.
To reach our specific goals we have developed the following materials for ALL potential applicants. While past topics and awards are no guarantee of future topics and awards, they do provide a good general sense of what EERE is looking for.
Past topics and awardees and other information to determine if this is right for you.
Recent webinars focused on Topics to help you navigate the application process at DOE and in other parts of the federal government (SAMs, Grants.gov etc.)
Option to Discuss/Review your Letter of Intent (LOI).
We have identified many organizations that work with underserved communities and are working closely with them to ensure minority- and woman-owned small business concerns are well aware of and well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities.

Thank goodness "indefinite" turned out to mean less than three weeks when it came to Washaun Ealey's suspension. Now let's just hope that this very public dressing-down got Ealey's attention and he continues to "take care of his business" in what Mark Richt calls "the Georgia way."
Because despite having the future star lined up in Isaiah Crowell, the Dogs very much need Ealey on their roster this season.
The most obvious reason is because you can never have too many tailbacks, as Ray Goff learned during the nightmare season of 1995 that ended his coaching career, when he went through half a dozen backs because of a ridiculous string of injuries. Crowell missed games in high school due to injury, so even if he does emulate Marcus Lattimore and surge to the top of the depth chart right away, having an experienced, talented (albeit underperforming) junior like Ealey next in line is a big plus.
Also, since very few backs these days carry the ball anywhere near as many times per game as in the Herschel Walker era, both Crowell and Ealey are likely to get plenty of playing time. And it's going to take a while for Crowell to master everything a back needs to do in Mike Bobo's offense, especially the blocking responsibilities.
But most importantly, as I noted when Ealey's suspension was first announced, Crowell needs to earn the starting job through competition. It will make him a better back if he has to work hard for that status. It also will give him a better chance of achieving the goals he brashly stated last week of wanting to be a freshman All-American who runs "for more than 1,000 yards."
And, of course, it will make Georgia a better team. Which is what this is all about.
So welcome back, Washaun. And please try hard to keep doing things the "Georgia way."
Speaking of Crowell, if you would like one of those nifty 59Fifty Inner State fitted caps featuring an embroidered outline of the state of Georgia filled with the Bulldog mascot like Crowell sported on signing day, you can order one here.
Unfortunately, they don't come with the bulldog puppy.

If the S&C program does not produce results and the team does not buy in to the new discipline approach, none of this will matter. We will go 6-6 again and a whole new staff will start 2012.
If the S&C program works and the kids do what they are told, UGA can win 9 or 10 games and Richt will have fought off the demons for awhile.
My hope is that Malcome is the real deal and Crowell and him can share reps and Ealey and King work hard but can't beat the other 2 out.
March 1st, 2011

Not a word about Caleb King's role in next year's offense. Hmmm. I think we'll need him too. Better blocker than Ealey and we don't know about Crowell's blocking abilities.

As a coach, I guess I am just predisposed to not throw away the guys who've been there for us for the next new guy. I'm very excited the Crowell is a Dawg but I'm not ready to give up on Ealey OR Caleb. So here's to all 3 guys going for a hundy every game.

12:12 pm
I am really unsure why the Washaun Ealey "saga" was ever covered by the media.
Can you imagine 20 or 30 years ago, the media deciding they wanted to cover a story of "Player misses punishment run. In trouble with coach"
The developments with Ealey are a prime example of the "Must know this second" media available to the world.
I obviously enjoy reading blogs (I am here right now aren't I?), but blogs and social media has really made what used to be a non-story into an all out "crisis" in today's world.
Good luck Ealey. Hope you learned some kind of lesson this past month. We need you this Fall and next. GO DAWGS!!!!!
March 1st, 2011
12:13 pm
Ealy will play a major role if he can keep himself straight. He is a much better running back than C. King and Crowell may not turn out to be the back many think he is going to by. Also, those hats look stupid in my opinion.
March 1st, 2011

And yes…..
The hat is atrocious!!
March 1st, 2011

Ealey has the potential to have a huge year. Remember the talk this time one year ago? A lot of folks had Ealey slated as the #2 back in the conference behind Ingram. I certainly agree that he grossly underperformed last year, but i really liked the way he ran the ball as a freshman when he was #4 on the depth chart. Hopefully the suspension and additional competition from Crowell and Malcome will help him find that hunger that made him a great back 2 years ago…and a little blocking could help as well. Go dawgs!

I for one hate the fact that Ealey is back on this team. How very quickly we forget he was a large part of the debacle last year with his attitude and just being a troublemaker in general. I would rather go into the season without him and caleb and take our chances….their attitudes have been like a cancer on this team…..funny now that he wants to do things the Georgia way now that someone is here that is head and shoulders above him in morals and they way he conducts himself. I am afraid if ealey stays- we will have the same problems….attitude…lack of drive…lack of caring……oh well….

Why is it assumed Caleb will be academically ineligible? He was held out of the Liberty bowl by Mark Richt, for missing tutoring sessions he was in good standing academically. His punishment was a wake up call just like Ealeys'. Don't think Richt will hesitate to suspend or remove them if they aren't walking the straight and narrow.Lets hope for King and Ealey to finally grow up and live up to their potential.

That has GOT to be the ugliest hat I've ever seen in my life.
Glad to have Ealey back in the fold. Let's not forget that the O-line has contributed to his performance (or lack thereof). If his head is on straight he can have a solid year as long as the O-line play improves.
March 1st, 2011
1:23 pm
Excellent points all, Bill.
From a strictly factual or Objective viewpoint, we need him to carry the football. Crowell is not going to come in a do it all (if any….. that's yet to be a reality). Even if Crowell is all we hoped, Somebody else is still going to have to be in the mix. You have to be 3 deep.
From a strictly Subjective viewpoint, the idea you put forth as giving Crowell a goal of earning something seems very important to me.
From a half objective/half subjective standpoint………….I still believe that Ealey has some good games in him. Factually, he has had some in the past. Rationally, a player is going to better in his 3rd year, especially if he can avoid the issues he had in his second one. Wishfully, for him and the team, he needs to.
March 1st, 2011
1:26 pm
What kind of back is Malcome? Is he big and run over you type, or small and fast? How was he rated coming out of high school. There is not much talk about him and I don't know anything about him. Can you enlighten me and maybe others that don't know what to expect from him.
March 1st, 2011
1:38 pm
Malcome is 6′0″ and around 215 pounds. Not a blazer but a good solid back. Crowell is the difference maker of the group. King and Ealey don't make you miss. Neither will Malcome. Crowell can.
March 1st, 2011
1:38 pm
Ealey may end up OK in the end . At least he didn't quit, like a lot of other players on other team's did when their pouting, cry baby, and fit throwing didn't do any good but get them in deeper trouble. And maybe CMR is getting back in charge of the team after letting the 18 to 22 year old run it for the last few years. Look's like Tereshinski and Bulter's OLD SCHOOL attitude will win out.
I hope that we are very successful this year let's say 10-3 or better , because if this new attitude win's out CMR will get a 3 year extension and the vote of confidence from the AD and BOARD that we need in Bulldawg Nation . I hate to see the bickering and disorganization that we have seen in the last few years.

Joe, "troublemaker in general"???
The kid had one immature mistake when he got behind the wheel without a license, backed into a car and panicked. I would safely assume that over half the grown people on this blog may have done the same thing when they were 19 and away from home for the first time.
Buckeye, "teach Isaiah to spit on the opponent"
Would you mind clarifying what incident you are trying to fabricate??
I am not sure why Ealey has such a bad image?? He made a single mistake in one of the most frustrating stretched on bonehead decisions by a bunch of kids in the program, and all of a sudden the haters want to paint him as the nucleus of all UGA's problems.
"Missing a punishment run"….. I am willing to bet a similar incident has taken place in EVERY college football program within the last 6 months. The only difference here is the media decided to get involved because it's UGA and the ajc LOVES, LOVES, LOVES negative stories coming out of Athens. Throw in the melting pot of transplants who read the ajc (because their hometowns suck and they move to greener pastures of the great state of Georgia) and you have the perfect combination of haters and a hateful media to make this seem like a "huge deal"
I wish more people would see the whole story like I can.

Crowell, Malcome and Ealey. I would be amazed if King makes it to Fall.

Ealey will attempt to play himself into the hearts & minds of the NFl scouts. That would work for the Dawgs as well as long as he is playing for them. The Dawgs need to reastablish the running game & Ealey could help do that. Spring Practice here we come.

1:56 pm
I think this was more of a wake up call to Ealey more than anything else. I hope it lit a fire under his butt hearing how great this freshman is and how he (Crowell) maybe toting the rock in the Georgia Dome…….I want to see what Ken Malcome is made of this coming G-day I am excited to see what he can do. Anyone hear how Lemay is coming along ? I am sure that will be a fun QB battle to watch.

No one has seen Caleb King since before the bowl game.

Is Ealey openning a bailbond business?

The first two games are huge…It will shape the season and Mark's tenure as head coach. Lose those two and then to Florida and one more and I don't see a good ending.Win those first two and the year will go well, even losing to Gators.I think Mark needs to win 8.

Not a lot of chatter about the Tech baseball player getting a DUI, even though they tried to cover it up. Guess no one cares.

@Newman, I have friends whose children have classes with him.
March 1st, 2011

I watched that highlight video of Malcome. Looks like a big strong runner with good vision. His running style reminds me of another #34. Just doesn't have the top speed of HW. I heard he wore #34 because HW was his idol. I remember last year one of the recruiting analyst believed that he was the biggest sleeper coming out of the state. This guy believed that Malcome was the best RB in the state last year.

Ealey is a very good back that UGA needs in the fall. He has led the Dawgs in rushing in both years he has played. As a freshman, he did not play in the first five games and still finished as the team's leading rusher. If he were to improve his blocking and ball security, he could become one of UGA's all time best.
March 1st, 2011
2:27 pm
Don't count your chickens cause if Crowel is injury prone in high school what's going to happen when he runs into the big boys of the SEC.
March 1st, 2011
2:30 pm
Is Mark Richt more concerned about his job than his players doing right? No one knows for sure. Three weeks is certainly a minor suspension when nothing is really going on. What Ealey had to do behind the scenes to prove he was repentant, no one knows either. The lack of discipline was the root cause of last year's failure. Discipline on the field is learned by being disciplined off the field. Knowing your head coach will not tolerate bad behavior certainly keeps kids in line. It's up to Richt to prove that this team has been instilled with discipline and that NO ONE PLAYER is bigger than the team. If he fails to do that again this year, Richt will become the former Georgia head coach.
March 1st, 2011
2:31 pm
Well, you just don't personally know Ealey like joe does.
March 1st, 2011
2:32 pm
DA doubleU G
Don't worry other people see the whole story too. A drunken techie baseball player endangering others as he skids from one bar to the next barely rates a mention by the ATLANTA newspaper. The guy refuses to be tested which more than likely means he was on other drugs as well.
Since the out of contol program at the north avenue thug school has no rules against DUI's the criminal is given a slap on the wrist 1 game suspension.
The same thing happening in Athens would result in at least a month of blogs from the ajc.
March 1st, 2011
2:39 pm
three weeks not very long?
How about if Joe T looked him in the eye and said you be here at 5 am every morning and at 6 pm every night? We are going to lift until you puke and then run gassers until you puke some more? Make sure you bring a trash can for all the puking.
Makes for a long 3 weeks huh?
March 1st, 2011

Crowell will need the largest helment and cap available.
By his public statement last week that he sees himself as a freshman All-American and will gain 1000 yards, he comes off as being full of himself. He has not even suited up for practice and thinks he is great. The media has done a great job in helping him get so wrapped up in himself that he may not be what he is touted to be on the field. He needs some humble pie.
March 1st, 2011
2:49 pm
Help, I've fallen and I can't get up! Where am I at? I have an explanation, but the words escape me. Please tell me I was wearing panties!
March 1st, 2011
2:52 pm
What was Crowell supposed to say. I don't the talent to contribute this year and look forward to being redshirted. The guy is confident and plans on competing for the starting position.

STURGIS, MI (WTVB) - Authorities say they have a prime suspect in the shooting death of a prominent Sturgis accountant, but detectives apparently can't prove it yet. They have charged 36-year-old Andy Brown with embezzling over $100,000 from David Locey and his firm. Locey was found dead in his office from a single gunshot wound to the head early Wednesday morning. Forensic crews were back at the office yesterday, and divers were searching a local river for the murder weapon.
Sturgis Police are asking for anyone who may have seen anything suspicious between 5 am and 8 am Wednesday near the accounting office to give them a call. In the meantime, Brown isn't going anywhere. Bond was set at a one million dollars.

My superstars!!!! by U10 Littleton Cheerleaders - 10 months ago
"This photograph is of 17 U10 cheerleaders that made their way for the second year to the AYC New England Regional Cheer Championships in Hartford CT on November 23rd. They placed a strong 5th out of 16 team from the New England Region. Our motto is "to have fun and perform your best". This is the second year in a row I have ordered from Custom Ink. This same team received a custom tee from you last year because they made it to the New England Regional Championship. My experience with Custom Ink has been nothing but outstanding. You provided a quick turn around on my order and it was just what I ordered. I received my order way ahead of schedule. I like the fact that you provide suggestions and tweak the custom designs that I have made. It helps..... Thank you again"

The targeted therapies currently available work in one of two ways. They either attack specific proteins on the cancer cells, or they disrupt a specific function that the cancer cell needs in order to grow and spread. By being targeted in their effects, these drugs may leave normal cells alone. But they sometimes have adverse effects on healthy cells, too.
Not everyone will get the same drugs or receive them the same way. Before treatment starts, talk with your doctor about your treatment and understand what to expect. The actual treatment the doctor prescribes will be based on an evaluation of these factors:
The stage of the cancer
Traits of your cancer, such as specific proteins on the cancer cell surface
Your general health
Your age
Concerns you have about side effects
What treatments you have had before (if any)
After evaluating your situation, the doctor will choose a drug or a combination of drugs for you to take. The doctor will decide how long to give the drugs. Often you receive them in an outpatient area, clinic, or doctor's office. But you may receive them in the hospital. As with chemotherapy, most of the targeted agents now available are given intravenously, although some are taken as a pill. You also receive them over a period of time that is similar to the chemotherapy schedule. Some targeted drugs are given along with chemotherapy, while others are given on their own.
Several targeted drugs are now used for colorectal cancer:
Avastin (bevacizumab)
Erbitux (cetuximab)
Stivarga (regorafenib)
Vectibix (panitumumab)
Zaltrap (ziv-aflibercept)

This leaflet aims to provide an overview of hemiplegia, the impacts it may have on a child and the support available from HemiHelp.
Childhood hemiplegia (sometimes called hemiparesis) is a condition affecting one side of the body (Greek 'hemi' = half). We talk about a right or left hemiplegia, depending on the side affected. It is caused by damage to some part of the brain, which may happen before, during or soon after birth, when it is known as congenital hemiplegia , or later in childhood as a result of injury or illness, in which case it is called acquired hemiplegia. Generally, injury to the left side of the brain will cause a right hemiplegia and injury to the right side a left hemiplegia. Childhood hemiplegia is a relatively common condition, affecting up to one child in 1,000. About 80% of cases are congenital, and 20% acquired
How does hemiplegia occur?
The causes of congenital hemiplegia are mostly unknown, and usually parents become aware of their child's hemiplegia gradually during his or her infancy. There is a higher risk in premature babies, and it is unclear whether a difficult birth may be an occasional factor. In most cases, however, the damage occurs during pregnancy, and researchers have as yet been unable to isolate any contributory factors - in other words, it would appear to be mostly a matter of chance. Parents often worry that they may be somehow to blame, but this is not the case. Acquired hemiplegia results from damage to the brain during childhood. The most common cause is a stroke (when a bleed or blood clot damages part of the brain), but it can also result from an accident or infection
What are the effects of hemiplegia?
It is difficult to generalise: hemiplegia affects each child differently. The most obvious result is a varying degree of weakness and lack of control in the affected side of the body, rather like the effects of a stroke. In one child this may be very obvious (he or she may have little use of one hand, may limp or have poor balance); in another child it will be so slight that it only shows when attempting specific physical activities.
What can be done to help?
Hemiplegia cannot be cured, but a lot can be done to minimise its effects. Your child, once diagnosed, will probably be referred to a Child Development Centre (CDC) or the children's department of your local or regional hospital, where therapists will work with you to develop his or her abilities.
Understanding hemiplegia and knowing how you can help your child achieve his or her potential is vital.
The immature brain is very flexible, and many of the functions of the damaged area can be taken over by undamaged parts of the brain. An adult who has a stroke loses very specific functions, depending on which part of the brain was affected. In contrast, which area of the brain was damaged and which side of the body is affected makes relatively little difference in children and young people with hemiplegia. Your child's treatment will probably be based on a multidisciplinary approach, involving physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy where necessary. Therapists work closely with each other and with parents and carers, teaching them exercises and techniques which they can continue to use at home, so that they become part of the child's everyday life. Some children may also benefit from other forms of treatment such as orthoses (splints), Botulinum Toxin injections or orthopaedic surgery. In general the child with hemiplegia should be treated as normally as possible.
However, it is essential to include the weaker side in play and everyday activities, to make your child as two-sided as he or she can be. As they get older, many children and young people with hemiplegia can be encouraged to develop better use of their weaker side through involvement in their chosen sports and hobbies.
Are there other problems associated with hemiplegia ?
Yes, there may be. Because hemiplegia is caused by damage to the brain, it is not just motor development that may be affected. And despite the developing brain's effort to relocate functions to undamaged areas, approximately half the children do have additional diagnoses. Some of these are medical in nature, such as epilepsy, visual impairment or speech difficulties. Many children have less obvious additional challenges, such as perceptual problems, specific learning difficulties or emotional and behavioural problems.
As the child grows these difficulties may become more frustrating and disabling than the more obvious physical ones, but with specialist treatment their effects on the child's life can be minimised.
What does the future hold?
In merely defining hemiplegia with its causes and effects we leave out perhaps the most important issue – the shock of diagnosis and the fear of the unknown. When a child is first diagnosed, it is often difficult for a doctor to predict whether problems will be mild or severe later in life. He or she will often adopt a 'wait and see' approach, which parents may find difficult to accept, since they may feel they are not being given all the facts. Understanding hemiplegia and knowing how you can help your child achieve his or her potential is vital. Make good use of the specialists dealing with your child's hemiplegia. Do ask them questions and make sure you understand their replies, if necessary asking them to repeat them using non-specialist terms.
Most children and young people with hemiplegia attend mainstream schools, with or without some extra support. It is essential that teachers be given as much information as possible about your child and how best to help him or her. HemiHelp has information materials for teachers in pre-school, primary and secondary education. These are of use not only to your child's teachers, but also to you as parents/carers, to help you support your child through his or her school years.
Life can be difficult for children and young people with hemiplegia who want to do the same things as other children. They tire easily and the effort involved in simple tasks can be considerable. They need all the help and encouragement you can give them. And you need support in your turn – ideally from other parents and carers who understand how you feel and with whom you can also share ideas and information. You may find general support groups for children with disabilities and their families in your own area - your CDC, hospital or library should have information. Your local Sure Start children's centre may also have useful services for you and your child, such as Portage or a toy library. And you may want to join the national organisation for children and young people with hemiplegia and their families, HemiHelp

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

U of S undergraduates explore the many faces of slavery on Abolition's bicentenary
October 27, 2007 Eighteenth in Series
For The StarPhoenix
By Caitlin Ward
When University of Saskatchewan students Leah Horlick and Cassandra Matthies began studying the slave trade to prepare for a traveling exhibit at the Diefenbaker Canada Centre, they had no idea just how close to home slavery really is.
"People look at you funny when you say there are slaves down on 20th Street," Matthies says. "But that's what's going on — child prostitution is forced labour, and that's essentially slavery."
Young Canada Works grants allowed Horlick and Matthies to work as museum interpreters at the U of S centre this past summer. They worked on "Passage to Freedom: Secrets of the Underground Railroad," a traveling exhibit from Welland Historical Museum which explores the path of escaped slaves from the deep south to Canada during the 19th century. By coincidence, the exhibit arrived in the bicentenary year of the abolition of slavery in the British Empire, and will leave the centre on February 24th at the end of Black History Month.
The students found even after 200 years, slavery is alive and well in the world. "Modern slavery…is characterized by forms of forced labour, like debt bondage, sex trafficking, and forced domestic servitude or military service," Horlick, a linguistics major, says. "It's a worldwide industry. [The exhibit] takes issues that often seem far away historically or globally, and brings them close to home."Collaborating with U of S professor of sociology and human rights activist Patience Elabor-Idemudia, the two undergraduates created additional panels about modern-day slavery for the exhibit. It may no longer be typified by Africans cutting tobacco in Virginia, but Horlick and Matthies found there are an estimated 27 million slaves in the world today.
"A lot of people come back and say, 'I never thought of it that way,'" Matthies says. "It's a new idea, and very rarely publicly exhibited. We didn't want to celebrate the 200th anniversary without acknowledging there's so much more to do."
Canada was an inhospitable place to former slaves in the 19th and early 20th century. In 1911, Sir Wilfred Laurier's cabinet enacted an order-in-council which forbade black immigration to Canada because they were "deemed unsuitable" for the climate and requirements of Canada. The centre's exhibit charts the progress of black immigrants in Canada in the face of such tenacious racism, which also included school segregation.
The students found a local connection through the Shiloh heritage site, located northwest of North Battleford. Shiloh was the first of two black settlements in Saskatchewan and has the only black cemetery in the province. It is almost exclusively a heritage site now; the last citizen of Shiloh was buried in 1987. In the 1930s, however, there were as many as 50 families — descendants of former slaves — living and working in the town.
The students spoke with Leander Lane, a direct descendent of one of the founding families in the Shiloh community. Lane's grandfather, Julius Caesar Lane, was the first person to be buried in the cemetery (1913).
Checking some of their research with U of S American history professor Geoff Cunfer, Matthies and Horlick researched the exhibit, wrote the souvenir handbooks, and designed the centre's contributions to the exhibit. Horlick notes she gained invaluable research skills while seeking out local resources and connections.
Because many school tours visit the centre, the undergraduates ensured the exhibit was accessible to all age groups. They created a variety of educational games so that any grade level could take something away from the exhibit.
For Matthies in particular, working at the centre had an important impact on her career plans. Currently pursuing an honours degree in English with a minor in history, she had intended to go into library sciences and eventually work in a university library, but now is more interested in public library education.
