BOISE, Idaho (AP) — ... part of America's 21st century social dynamic.
Neither government nor business alone can provide all the ingredients necessary for progress. We must leverage our limited resources toward realizing unlimited opportunities together. That's the idea behind IGEM - the Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission, which you created last year. You will hear much more about its work as the IGEM Council reports to the germane House and Senate committees.
But I can tell you that never before have our three research universities worked together more collaboratively or been more committed to finding common ground and mutual benefit with our business leaders. Together with the Idaho National Laboratory and the Center for Advanced Energy Studies - and given time and our sustained support - they will nurture a rising tide of economic activity that will lift all our boats.
Meanwhile, Commerce Director Jeff Sayer, Labor Director Roger Madsen and the State Board of Education, our universities and our community colleges are preparing our workforce, encouraging our employers and putting the right policies and programs in place for a more prosperous Idaho.
At North Idaho College, new President Joe Dunlap is using a $3 million federal grant to create an aerospace center in Coeur d'Alene to meet the workforce demands of a growing industry in the Panhandle. It's a watershed event for the region. Such employers as Empire Aerospace, Tamarack Aerospace and Quest Aircraft are building a critical mass of manufacturing, service and support operations. Growing a highly skilled northern Idaho workforce will help advance that process.
At the College of Western Idaho, President Bert Glandon is working with the Idaho Technology Council on developing an industry certified software developer program to help address a chronic shortage of qualified workers for the growing technology sector here in the Treasure Valley. CWI also recently opened an impressive Professional Technical Education center in Nampa to help meet rapidly expanding employer and student needs.
And at the College of Southern Idaho, new and growing businesses like Chobani and Glanbia have President Jerry Beck working to accommodate the workforce needs of the Magic Valley's rapidly expanding value-added industry by building an $8.5 million Applied Technology and Innovation Center.
I would be remiss today if I failed to extend my gratitude to the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundation for its continued generous financial support of Idaho education. It most recently granted $5 million to the University of Idaho and Northwest Nazarene University to establish technology learning and innovation centers for teachers.
That's a godsend for our efforts to improve and expand technology in Idaho classrooms, and I'm confident it will result in development of more educators like Katie Pemberton of Canfield Middle School in Coeur d'Alene. Many of you know that Katie is our 2013 Idaho Teacher of the Year, and she's earned that recognition in part by making technology a cornerstone of her math classes at Canfield.
Such responsive, forward-looking people and programs are helping lift our statewide economic activity to almost $58 billion a year. That's up from about $51.5 billion just a few years ago. And that puts achievement of my Project 60 economic development goal well within reach, and soon.
But $60 billion a year isn't a finish line; it's only a benchmark. Let me tell you just how committed many of our Idaho entrepreneurs are to seeing that milestone in the rearview mirror.
Doug Sayer of Premier Technology in Blackfoot recently made a simple but profound change in the way he does business - shifting to Idaho suppliers for a greater share of everything he buys for his company's operations. And he did it without sacrificing quality or profitability.
Now he's challenging other Idaho business leaders to join him in that endeavor. Doug is working with the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry and other organizations to spread the word, and I've agreed to help by issuing a challenge of my own to Idaho businesses: Make it a priority to invest here at home. Join Premier Technology and others in devoting a greater percentage of your supply-chain purchases to Idaho vendors.

Mars: War Logs a small time scifi RPG game that showed up out of nowhere this week (April 26th) on Steam supposedly from France and we are told it will soon be available for download on the Playstation Network and XBox.
So a quick summary…
Controls are primitive and a bit clunky.
Combat is again a bit clunky and sometimes a little difficult due to even more controller motion freeze ups.
Voice acting and lip synch and all general character directions and interactions frankly suck.
What you might call "the story" tends to be a bit of a scifi "by the numbers" deal.
Graphics in this game are not going to be something to write home about.
The very slow load times are down right painful.
You might think that I absolutely hate this thing but that is not the case at all. If you liked Fallout3 and maybe some of what Rage did and maybe some of what Mad Max was all about then dive right on in the water is fine. Hey, it's filling a need I currently have for a new Fallout game without any signs of when that might come out.
But! I am in no way saying this game is ever "that good" mind you. It's a catchy tune but it's not very memorable.
See, the deal is this is not some triple AAA game being sold at full price. It's a whole $20, one and done, and a digital download away, or hell, even less from what people have said in the forums. So in the end I think you might be pretty happy with what you get here is all I am saying. Instant gratification for a generic bit of scifi RPG fluff with a few obvious flaws is a pretty good deal. If there is something we need "more of" right now in gaming in general is some of these cheap mid-level non-"ground breaking" good times and less of those big budget zombie filled duds that seem to have publishers flailing around all delusional wtf right now.
So loosey goosey cyber punky post apocalyptical insanity with lots of easily obtainable leather biker outfits and baseball bats… No, this game is not remotely smooth, and no, the story is not well structured, and yes, the whole thing reminds me of a high school Bladerunner play being put on by some local teenage jocks who probably programmed this game in flash during shop class.
No matter, I am having fun and feel like I got my moneys worth out of it… your mileage may very.

14 things to do if the world doesn't end
You can use the last days of 2012 to save a lot of money and reduce your stress in 2013 -- assuming, of course, there is one.
This post comes from Brandon Ballenger at partner site Money Talks News.
Depending on what you believe, the days leading up to Dec. 21, 2012, may involve one of the following:
- Breaking out your bucket list and doing as much as possible before we all die.
- Buying lots of alcohol and waiting in a fog for the end.
- Celebrating this holiday season like any other.
If you picked the first or second choice, you probably saw the film "2012," based on the idea that the end of a 5,125-year period in the Mayan calendar means the world will end with a bang on Dec. 21 this year.
That said, I'm about to lay out some simple personal finance tasks that will help you greet the New Year with confidence. Ordinarily, I'd suggest starting right away. But this year, perhaps it's better to wait until Dec. 22. Because while odds are the world won't be ending, if it does, you certainly don't want to be wasting time with this stuff.
Year-end to-do list if the world doesn't end
Review your credit history.
Get a free copy of your credit history at AnnualCreditReport.com and see what credit reporting agencies are saying about you. Your credit history doesn't include your credit score, but this is the information used to create your score, so you need to check it for accuracy.
Review your tax situation.
There are strategies to ease your tax burden, but some have to be fired up before year-end. Now's the time to look into possible credits and deductions, especially if you're bordering on a higher tax bracket. Can you add more to your 401k plan or take a deductible loss on an investment? Should you open a solo 401k is you're self-employed?
Clear clutter.
There's no better time than the holidays to turn clutter into cash, or at least a tax deduction.
The best way to approach your closets, attic, basement, or storage rooms is slowly. Pick one room, closet, or drawer per day, and spend a few minutes getting rid of stuff you haven't touched in a year or more. If it's valuable, sell it. If you'd rather help someone less fortunate, donate it. Either way, you'll end up with more money and less mess.
Plan for disaster.
Not the kind that destroys the world -- no prep necessary for that -- but the kind that could destroy your home. Take a home inventory, disaster-proof your paperwork with cloud storage, and check your insurance coverage.
And even if you have adequate coverage, make sure you're not overpaying by getting a few quotes.
Review/rebalance investments.
Take a look at how your investments are performing and decide whether it's time to buy, sell, or leave them alone. Check out the SEC's Beginners' Guide to Asset Allocation.
Support a charity.
It's the season for giving, not just because of good cheer, but also because many donations are tax-deductible.
Max out retirement contributions.
You have until April to contribute to an IRA, but 401k contributions have to be done by Dec. 31. The maximum for those is $17,000 if you're under 50, and $22,500 if you're over.
Spend your FSA.
If you've set aside money in a flexible spending account, any unused money is lost to you at the end of the plan year.
Prepay bills.
You might boost some tax credits and deductions for this tax year by prepaying things like your mortgage or next semester's college tuition. If those bills are due soon anyway, get a deduction for 2012 by paying in advance. What's deductible? Look at last year's tax return.
Find a financial adviser.
A financial adviser can help you with most of the things on this list, and a lot more. The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors lets you look up fee-only professionals by ZIP code.
Tinker with your budget.
Have you spent more than you planned? Time to make adjustments, especially if your income or expenses have changed.
Change important passwords.
A lot of sensitive personal information is one crook's smart guess away from being stolen. Boost your security by changing your most important passwords at least once a year. A good password has a mix of numbers, letters and special characters.
Digitize documents.
Even if the world doesn't end, your filing cabinets full of paper should. Invest in a $50 document scanner and start transferring the contents of your filing cabinets to the cloud.
Make a will.
Even if Dec. 21 isn't the day, everybody's got to go sometime. Plan for it so your loved ones suffer less. Lawyers can cost hundreds of dollars, but do-it-yourself software is less than $50 and takes less than an hour. If you have the money, have your computer-generated will checked by a lawyer later.
What if you can't get all of this done before Dec. 31? There's always next year. We hope.

The mother of a Grady High student who accidentally shot herself at school is defending her daughter.
Morgan Tukes was arrested after being treated at the hospital for a gunshot wound to the leg.
Tukes' mother, Kimberly Johnson, said that her daughter didn't know she was carrying a gun in her pocket.
"She said she didn't know it was in there in her pocket because she just grabbed her jacket and didn't know that it was in there," Johnson said.
The mother said that her family doesn't have any guns in the house and she doesn't know where she got it from.
"We don't own guns, period," said Johnson.
Tukes' parents say the senior is just two months from graduation.
"I just hate for this to mess up her opportunity for her to go to college because I was trying to send her to college. She just received her SATs the day before yesterday. She did good on the SATs so we were kind of excited," said Johnson.
Her mother says she believes her daughter made a mistake.
"Some people learn them young, some people learn them old. I feel like this is a lesson learned for her. I feel like everything that you go through is a lesson learned. It happened for a reason. God let it happen for a reason," Johnson said.
Students described Tukes as a student athlete who is sweet and popular.
"She knows everybody. She's cool with everybody," said one classmate.
Tukes was being held at Fulton County Jail Wednesday night on charges of carrying weapons within a school safety zone, reckless conduct, possession of a pistol by a minor and disruption of a public school. She is scheduled to make her first court appearance on Thursday morning.

By Pooja / Spinebreakers Crew
Set in 1960's Mississippi 'The Help' is both a saddening yet funny story of the relationships between black workers, in particular maids, and their white employers. Whilst the author confronts the very real racial issue in the southern states of America, she also captures the daily aspects of working women and the variety of situations they are faced with. Despite the fact the book is largely centred on females, I believe it really can be enjoyed by all.
Stockett delivers an already heavily explored central theme in a surprising writing style. Although the multiple narrative form echoes books such as 'Small Island', her lexis and phonetic representation of speech gives each character authenticity and a depth of personality beyond the words on the page. The tone of each is distinctly unique and as a reader you develop a deep sense of empathy with the characters. As such, you should not be surprised to find the book has been consumed in the short space of a few days, but rather disappointed in the wish that the book had carried on that little bit longer.
Although you may probably have deduced that I greatly enjoyed the book, I feel it would have benefitted from a voice that was pro segregation. Maybe a controversial idea, but using a character such as Miss Hilly for example, would highlight the complexity of these relations, when racism was integral to their upbringing as a white child under the influence of a society that only dealt in binary opposites.
However, the book as it is has a gripping plot, that not only captures interest, but creates a distinct setting that draws the reader into this time to further their understanding. Stockett incorporates a diverse range of events and themes that can shock you, make you laugh and even cry at the expression of such longing. She really does capture the feeling of the intense love and dislike shared by the maids and the families they work for.
'The Help' is an awakening to the reader. Not only can one realise the progression of people and be grateful for the struggles that allow us to live in a largely accepting era, it serves as a reminder that ill feeling between races has not been eradicated from the world. Furthermore, though racism is a reoccurring theme, Stockett is clear to illustrate humanity is the undeniable quality that connects us all.
"We are just people. Not that much separates us. Not nearly as much as I'd thought."


text: From what I understand they had some significant management changeover that happened mid-stream last year. The new team put more emphasis on developing the 2012 Haunt than in trying to salvage last years. The monster "talent" is supposed to be a really awful clique-type situation where the veterans do whatever they want - take inappropriate breaks, break character, pose for pictures, and really try to intimidate the newer hires. A lot of the vets took the "screw you" approach to new management trying to reign them in, and wouldn't show up before ultimately getting the boot. From what I understand they are going for a more professional approach this year, hopefully it works out.

Dear Tom,
It's a wee while since I asked a question - (the anti-smoking effort is failng badly!).
Even now, I often think about certain aspects of the little village I grew up in as a child, and the folk that lived there. Do you have a particularly favourite memory or person from your childhood days that still pops into your head more often than the average thought..in a nice way?
Best wishes,

Asking for a friend
I wish I were the kind who when I get my period (or a kidney stone, or a cold), gets to put on thick socks and soft pants and curl up on the couch with a quilt, a book, and a cup of hot cocoa.
Before I had kids I had terrible cramps and actually did this sometimes. Not often… but once I got married, that went out the window. Especially once I had kids; I didn't get cramps anymore so my x expected me to be capable, all the time.
I don't know if not giving in to pampering myself at all (even if I probably really need it) just became a bad habit or what.
A friend of mine says that doesn't really happen. The woman who can do that is a myth. I really have no idea if he's right or if I just have an idea in my head that is stupid & out of touch with reality. So I want to know!
Ladies, do you give yourself time off, pull the comforter up over you and put the world on hold if you need to?
Men, do your wives need a day off, pampering, and do you understand and "allow" that?

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and the University of Houston has found a new way to influence the vital serotonin signaling system — possibly leading to more effective medications with fewer side effects.
Scientists have linked malfunctions in serotonin signaling to a wide range of health issues, everything from depression and addictions to epilepsy and obesity and eating disorders. Much of their attention has focused on complex proteins called serotonin receptors, which are located in the cell membrane. Each receptor has a so-called "active site" specially suited to bond with a serotonin molecule; when that bond is formed, the receptor changes shape, transmitting a signal to the cell's interior.
Traditional drug discovery efforts target interactions that take place at such active sites. But a receptor's behavior can also be changed by additional proteins that bind to the receptor at locations quite distant (in molecular terms) from the active site, in a process called "allosteric regulation" — the mechanism examined by the UTMB-UH team for one specific and highly significant kind of serotonin receptor, designated the 5-HT2C.
"This is a whole new way of thinking about this system, targeting these interactions," said UTMB professor Kathryn Cunningham, senior author of a paper on the research now online in the Journal of Neuroscience. "Basically, we've created a new series of molecules and validated that we can use them to change the way the receptor functions both in vitro and in vivo, through an allosteric effect."

When we formed The Glover Park Group in 2001, we wanted to make our mark by redefining upwards what a strategic communications firm could be. We made a simple vow: We would be different. For us, different means a few simple but important ideas:
We hire the brightest people we know from the widest range of backgrounds: advertising agencies, PR firms, corporations, non-profits, think tanks, government and political campaigns, news organizations, and galvanize them with the opportunity to think big and to think better.
We avoid the structural silos that limit most firms and use multi-discipline teams to deliver fully integrated solutions to meet our clients' challenges.
We take the focus and execution of great political campaigns and make it the genetic code for our firm. We commit ourselves to delivering real time responses to changing conditions.
Substantive expertise and research forms the core of all of our work, and our senior talent is involved in all of our accounts.
Today, we are proud to work with a wide range of clients on some of the most important and fascinating issues of our time. In the process, we have become one of the fastest-growing and most respected communications firms in the country.

Agammaglobulinemia is an inherited disorder in which there are very low levels of protective immune system proteins called immunoglobulins. People with this disorder repeatedly develop infections.
Alternative Names
Bruton's agammaglobulinemia; X-linked agammaglobulinemia
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Agammaglobulinemia is a rare disorder that mainly affects males. It is the result of a genetic abnormality that blocks the development of normal, mature immune system cells called B lymphocytes.
As a result, the body produces very little (if any) immunoglobulins in the bloodstream. Immunoglobulins play a major role in the immune response, which protects against illness and infection.
Without protective immunoglobulins, people with agammaglobulinemia repeatedly develop infections. People with this disorder are particularly susceptible to bacterial infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae, pneumococci (Streptococcus pneumoniae), and staphylococci, as well as to repeated viral infections. Common sites of infection include:
- Gastrointestinal tract
- Lungs
- Skin
- Upper respiratory tract
People with this condition may have a family history of agammaglobulinemia (or another immune disorder).
Symptoms include frequent episodes of:
- Bronchitis
- Chronic diarrhea
- Conjunctivitis (eye infection)
- Otitis media (middle ear infection)
- Pneumonia
- Sinusitis
- Skin infections
- Upper respiratory tract infections
Infections typically appear in the first 4 years of life.
Other symptoms include:
- Bronchiectasis (a disease in which the small air sacs in the lungs become damaged and enlarged)
- Unexplained asthma
Signs and tests
The disorder is confirmed by laboratory measurement of blood immunoglobulins.
Tests include:
- Flow cytometry to measure circulating B lymphocytes
- Immunoelectrophoresis - serum
- Quantitative immunoglobulins - IgG, IgA, IgM (usually measured by nephelometry)
The goal of treatment is to reduce the number and severity of infections, and to provide genetic counseling to affected families.
Receiving immunoglobulins (IVIG) through a vein (intravenously) helps boost the immune system by providing the body with the antibodies that are decreased or missing. Routine treatment with IVIG is central to the treatment of this disorder.
Antibiotics are often needed to treat bacterial infections.
Expectations (prognosis)
Treatment with IVIG has greatly improved the health of people with agammaglobulinemia. Without treatment, most severe infections are fatal.
- Arthritis
- Chronic sinus or pulmonary disease
- Eczema
- Intestinal malabsorption syndromes
Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
- You or your child has experienced frequent infections
- You have a family history of agammaglobulinemia or another immunodeficiency disorder and you are planning to have children (ask the provider about genetic counseling)
Genetic counseling should be offered to prospective parents with a family history of agammaglobulinemia or other immunodeficiency disorders.

MG beat Stephenson, Tucker beat Stephenson 3 times this year. SWD beat MG and no one was giving them any credit this year as am elite team. What I saw was a team made of CHAMPIONS (SWD). I say SWD and MG will be the 2 teams to going for the State Championship. I thought Stephenson had a talented team, but all I saw was 2 girls that does not trust their teammates but are not making any difference. MG girls and especially SWD girls are well coached teams. When it comes to state Experience always beats talent.

Inaugural Lifetime Achievement Awards Presented, Foundation Launched
NEW YORK, July 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Summer Fancy Food Show, the largest since it was first presented in 1955, is drawing strong reviews from exhibitors and attendees alike. The sold-out exhibit halls, filling 361,000 sq. ft., featured more than 1,400 U.S. exhibitors and 1,291 from around the world.
The trade-only event took place June 29–July 1, 2014, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York. Amid record demand for specialty food, the show drew 22,000 attendees from top names in U.S. retailing and restaurants, including Whole Foods, Dean & DeLuca, Kroger and Le Pain Quotidien and buying delegations from Europe and countries as diverse as Uruguay, Paraguay, Albania, and China.
"There was optimism and positive energy in every aisle," says Ann Daw, president of the Specialty Food Association, owner and producer of show, the largest marketplace devoted exclusively to specialty foods and beverages in North America.
Show highlights included the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Awards honoring five pioneers in the Specialty Food Industry including Harold Anderson, founder of Haddon House Food Products, and Max Reiss, founder of Reiss Finer Foods, both honored posthumously, whose sons accepted their awards.
Also honored were Tony Matthews, president of Food From Britain, who helped build the presence of imported British foods in the U.S.; Russ Vernon, a pioneering specialty food retailer who opened the venerable West Point Market in Akron, Ohio; and Mario Foah, who helped launch the introduction of Italian food products in the U.S. and who was a founding member of today's Specialty Food Association.
Dominique Ansel, the acclaimed pastry chef and creator of treat sensation the Cronut®, a croissant-donut hybrid, delivered a keynote address on innovation. He announced the winners of the 42nd sofi™ Awards for the outstanding specialty foods of the year. The contest drew a record 2,737 entries across 32 awards. Lentil Rice Crispbread with Sesame and Pink Salt from East Hampton Gourmet Food in East Hampton, N.Y., won Outstanding New Product.
Chef Ansel, who said he faced hunger as a child in France, donated his speaking fee to City Harvest, the Summer Fancy Food Show's longtime anti-hunger charity. At the end of the show, exhibitors donated seven and a half tractor trailer loads of cheeses, hummus, produce, meats, and more to City Harvest, which delivered it to 12 emergency food programs in New York City. The donation was covered by the Associated Press in a story that was picked up all over the world. Full story.

From Oct. 1, 2008
It is a warm "summer" day, even if fall has arrived. While out on the patio enjoying the warm temperature, I noticed several patches of pine resin that were gathering the fallen scales of pine cones in their viscous, gooey puddles.
Reprinted from Oct. 11, 2006
This has been a beautiful fall, with the best color being at lower elevations, such as around Evergreen. The aspen in Little Cub Creek Valley have been at their best for a week now, but strong breezes have begun to take their toll.
October has brought some of the warm weather we looked for in September, and we have enjoyed the Indian summer days.
As most of my friends know, I took a tumble in early August and broke my right wrist, so I have been confined to a nursing home ever since I got out of the hospital. That's only because I can't manage very well by myself with only one arm. However, it's doing well and I'll soon be out of a cast and then I can do a great deal more, I hope, even though it will still be stiff and sore.
Originally published Sept. 7, 2006
Once more it is time for the "bugling" of the bull elk to flow down the mountains. This eerie, wailing sound is part of the rutting season and as much a part of the Rocky Mountain autumn as the turning of the aspen leaves.
The first call reported to me this year was on Saturday, Aug. 26. A bit early but not too unusual. The calling will continue through September and dwindle in October, with still a few last calls heard in November.
When we moved here in 1965, crows were officially named the "common crow." But, they were definitely not common in Evergreen, except in winter. Summer crows in the mountains were few and far between.
Bears have been particularly plentiful this summer and will continue to be until about the first of November when snow and cold weather will send them into hibernation.
We have had a female with three cubs roaming around Herzman's Mesa most of the summer. This is a dangerous situation, and we need to do everything we can do to avoid human contact with these bears.
These lazy, warm summer days are what living in Evergreen is all about. But for some of God's critters, they are a harbinger of a winter to come. Each morning our golden-mantled ground squirrel saunters out, blinks his eyes and ambles over to the birdfeeder for a hearty breakfast and to enjoy the warm sunshine. He frolics through his old haunts, runways and hideouts, then settles down at the feeder, obviously "in residence" for the summer. His appetite will increase soon as he stuffs himself in preparation for winter.
Friday the 13th, an unlucky day for some people, happened to be a lucky day indeed for my friend and fellow birder Warren Roske. Warren saw a northern goshawk on Friday at Evergreen Lake. This is one of the few sightings of a goshawk at the lake. But it was no accident that Warren was birding there, as he, my friend Loie Evans and a few other birding friends try to keep a daily tally of the birds at Evergreen Lake. They post which birds, and how many individuals, they see on a bulletin board on the Lake House side of the boardwalk.
People often ask me how I happen to see so many more birds and animals than they do.
They often say that they at least drive into downtown Evergreen every day, sometimes more than that, and they don't see half as many things as I do.
I usually reply to this that birders are made by learning the art of observation. I am not as good an observer as my late husband Bill was. He began birding the minute he woke up. Many days he had the first bird on his daily list before he got out of bed by looking out the bedroom window.
The Douglas fir, pseudotsuga menziesii, is one of our loveliest trees. It is probably the largest tree growing in our forests today. It has a fascinating history that is closely woven with the man for whom it was named, David Douglas.

- happycustomerDined on 9/27/2014This was our first time at Jump and I couldn't say enough wonderful things about every aspect of our experience! The food was fantastic and the service was simply outstanding!Special Features:
- Okay, not great.MrSitDined on 9/19/2014Was very excited to dine here given the reviews. Had the charred quail tacos to start. Unfortunatey they weren't charred and were bone cold. Am a lover of fresh pasta - had the Cavatelli w/ lamb ragu. Mediocre. Sauce was watery, lamb lacked flavour and could have passed as beef flank. My wife had the spaghettini with cuttlefish, shrimp, capers and black olives. The overuse of jarred goods was so salty your tongue would dry up. Pitcher of water highly required. Red Zinfandel ($49) was full bodied and velvety smooth, amazing. But I wouldn't give credit to the Resturant for that. Passed on dessert. Perhaps I was expecting too much, will not be back nor be recommending this place. Overrated. Embarassed I took my wife here for her birthday.Special Features:
- Always good!KphjrVIPDined on 9/19/2014Unfortunately, we were seated in the bar area which has a completely different feel to the main restaurant. Great for a drink, but dining room better for lunch or dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great eperienceBonfireandMosimoDined on 9/12/2014we sat at the bar and a fabulous time. our bartender Dolphie (sp) was super knowledgable and very pleasant. The food (blackened catfish, grilled calamari, tuna tartar, fries, ice cream, and brownie) exceeded expectations. I look forward to having a meal again there soon. great job!!Special Features:
- DisappointmentTorontodinerDined on 9/11/2014We have been to Jump several times but this last visit was a disappointment. The service was slow and our food arrived cold. This might be understandable if there had been a big crowd but it was not busy. It is doubtful that we will return.
- Ho-HumJamesDined on 9/11/2014Service are good but the food was average. I expected more.Special Features:
- Good food, great serviceRobinDined on 9/2/2014Stopped in at Jump for a quick dinner and both food and service were great. The sign of a good restaurant for me is a good menu, and there were plenty of appealing options. I had been out for lunch so I wasn't crazy hungry so I had a hamburger that was really outstanding and in these days of gourmet hamburgers, that's not always easy. Perfectly cooked and super tasty! Server (Leslie) was extremely professional, made sure we had our wine, not too pushy even though we were eating light. Oh and my husband ordered the creme brulee which was also superb!Special Features:
- Great Food and Service!19THOLEVIPDined on 8/28/2014Took some Tier 1 Clients here, for a Business Lunch; it worked out well. Jump is ALL about Service. However, the meals do take a little longer than usual; as the kitchen tends to get busy when you have a 'Full House'. The Food was awesome and done to perfection.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great lunch spotbmarieVIPDined on 8/28/2014Jump is very convenient to my office in downtown Toronto. It's my go to restaurant for a casual business lunch with a good variety of menu options and great service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great meal. Too bad service subparLolaDined on 8/28/2014My guest and I both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Unfortunately we had about 3-4 different people bringing us drinks/meals which may have resulted in some mix-ups. At one point although there were only 2 of us at the table they brought 3 drinks all at once and insisted that one of us had ordered 2!! Then they charged us for it anyways after taking it away, which resulted in numerous delays to get our final bill and make payment.Special Features:
- PanayotaDined on 8/25/2014Our waiter Jarid was great, the food came out super fast and was delicious. Overall, a great lunch on a very nice patio!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and fast for lunchbizlunchexpertVIPDined on 8/25/2014Jump is one of my favorite places for business lunch. Great food with sandwich, soup, and pasta specials every day. Very good selection. The service is amazingly fast for lunch which gives time to eat and have a coffee all within an hour.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic Anniversary DinnerBInLove24Dined on 8/23/2014My husband and I chose to celebrate our wedding anniversary at Jump. We were greeted by the hostess upon check in and seated at a nice and cozy table did two. The manager on duty came by to speak to us, wished us a happy anniversary asked if we would like a champagne toast. The appetizers were delicious. My husband had the Caesar salad and I had the Tuna Tataki. For our main courses we chose the 10 oz steak and the grilled octopus. Again both dishes were perfectly cooked and delicious. To end off our dinner we chose the vanilla creme brûlée and the chocolate molten brownie with vanilla cream. The desserts came on a platter with enjoygh for both if us to share and happy anniversary written I the platter.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good all round experienceHungryDaveDined on 8/23/2014Enjoyed our meal for two. Good friendly and knowledgeable service. Nicely balanced menu, plenty of wine choices. Well located.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Straight to the pointiwantspeedforceDined on 8/22/2014I really loved the service, everyone was nice and would ask if you needed help instead of you having to ask for help. I ordered the salmon (I usually order salmon everywhere I go) and it tasted delicious. It was very-well made, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The only thing I could really complain about was their lack of menu items. Not many options to choose from. Pretty simple. But hey, quality over quantity I guess. I ended up having the white chocolate cheesecake for dessert but I was unable to finish it due to how sweet it was. Overall I would definitely recommend coming here.Special Features:
- dinner with friendsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/21/2014A great place to meet my downtown friends after work (and I travel in from mississauga to meet up). I was so impressed with our summerlicious experience (and how great the staff treated my 14 year old niece) that I use Jump as a girls' catch up venue. Especially like that you can purchase a 'half glass' of wine.Keep up the good work!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stellar food & serviceWineandDineDined on 8/15/2014The food was remarkable, surpassed only by the level of service. Our waiter was informative, funny, and fun. I was celebrating a 2-year anniversary with my partner, and our lovely waiter went out of his way to ensure we had a spectacular time, and guided us to great selections on the menu. The food was outstanding - I can't say enough good about it! Mostly we stuck to splitting apps, as there were too many good ones to choose from, and each one was amazing. The one-and-only negative about the place: so very empty (even on a Friday night!). I hope more of a crowd starts to attend, as I'd hate to see the place have to close.Special Features:
- great food. fantastic service.lunchguyDined on 8/15/2014I'm never disappointed at Jump. The food is excellent and the service is top-notch. Great place for a business lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, lunch spot in TOOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/15/2014Enjoyed the food and the atmosphere very busy at lunch on Friday but had a good time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WeakJuanValdezVIPDined on 8/14/2014Food has really slipped. One person on a diet couldn't finish the Waldorph salad because it was not good. An interesting taco dish was executed and presented poorly. Fries were pretty good.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/13/2014The service was too slow and our food arrived after almost 45 minutes after we placed our order.Special Features:
- Very good foodAranwuDined on 8/2/2014I've never had such a well cooked NY stripped that made me feel like I'm eating a Filet Mignon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nice patio, terrible serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/31/2014A few of us went there for lunch last week (Thursday 07/31/2014). Got patio seating which was great but our server was also the bartender it seemed and she did not give us the time of day. The patio was mostly empty. She was curt and did not approach the table with a greeting at all but asked us what we wanted to order. It was as if we incovenienced her by being there. Once that was taken, she was no where to be found for the remainder of our meal. We were left constantly looking around for her, even to get the bill. I would not recommend this for the next group lunch spot downtown. The food was not bad but good friendly service would've made our office lunch a more pleasant experience.
- A burst of flavourAmanSidhuDined on 7/28/2014Great atmosphere, and outstanding service. The food came out quick hot and fresh. I had the Jump burger and it was simply outstanding. I will be coming back and bringing more friends with me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My go to for business lunchesOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/28/2014Perfect location, fantastic food always and professional staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great lunch locationOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/21/2014took client. food was served quickly _ had the blacked catfish - it was spicy - very goodSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/20/2014Soup was tepid and included julienned carrots which were hard to eat. Main course contained too much meat and too little sides (bed of couscous/ rice was more like a mat than a bed). Dessert was good.
- Wonderful DinnerSea111Dined on 7/20/2014Jump never disappoints. The service and the menu are always exceptional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WhitecatDined on 7/19/2014We enjoyed our dinner very much. The server was excellent! The music could have been turned down..a bit obtrusive and not suitable for dining..too raucous...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall is good!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/18/2014- Waiter and Waitress were nice, friendly and funny - The soup was not hot enough, but the main dish (ravioli) was tasty, especially the tomato sauce was not too sour. The trifle was excellent. - Restaurant with a high ceiling and glass roof top
- SummerliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/18/2014We ordered from the summerlicious menu and the food exceeded our expectations!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/18/2014my niece & i went for summerlicious. we had a wonderful time, dining outside on the patio, on a beautiful summer evening. the staff were fantastic. the GM noticed that my niece did not finish her carrot soup (perhaps the flavours were too bold for her younger palate) so he brought her a salad instead. i thought that was a nice touch. very impressed! i would absolutely return!Special Features:
- Great food, horrible serviceFoodie1Dined on 7/18/2014Was there for a summerlicious lunch, which took an hour and a half... didnt get our drinks untill 20 minutes after order placed... and dinner around 40 minutes later. Our waiter was very slow.
- my2centsVIPDined on 7/17/2014The food and service has always been fantantic but the service was lacking this time. Our waiter seemed confused, overwhelmed. One person in our group had to leave due to an emergency but the server didn't seem to realize the urgency. The person had to ask for the bill 3 times and it still took a while. The server did not ask us if we wanted coffee/tea or anything else with our desserts. This part was disappointing especially since the gratuity was already included in our bill.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Summerlicious 2014TomAllanDined on 7/17/2014There was a group of 4 of us and we all found the service at Jump somewhat lacking. Initial service was very slow and subsequently with the various courses of the meal and finally with the bill at the end. The restaurant was busy but not full. The Summerlicious menu was interesting but again lacking in some variety. The food was quite good but not great. I would go back to Jump but not quickly.Special Features:
- Summerliciousfoodie86Dined on 7/17/2014We had reservations for 12pm, got seated on time however, our server did not come around until we had to ask for one, which was about 20 mins after being seat. Typically working in the financial district, lunch breaks are an hour long. We did not get our appetizers until 12:45 and our dessert came out at 1:45. When my friend ask to take her meal and dessert to go because she had a 1:30 meeting, the response we got from our server was that we should have planned lunch approriately. I've gone to 4 other restaurants for summerlicious and have had no problem with time. I really did not apprecaite how he was finding whatever excuses he could to justify the wait instead of apologizing. by far the worst service I have experiencedSpecial Features:
- Communicative but wonderful!Jaleung09Dined on 7/16/2014Wonderful! But one thing I wasn't informed by the dress code. I carried my backpack which was bit embarrassing. I went straight to school afterwards. The lunch was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expectations exceeded, by far.EvangelineCDined on 7/16/2014Haven't had my expectations exceeded in a very long time-also was during summerlicious which can get quite chaotic. We had two servers attend to us, the one with reddish hair was very attentive and knowledgeable and the one with dark hair was equally as great. Staff was all welcoming and friendly and the food was impressive. I had a carrot soup for an app and it was outstanding! Truly memorable. Always impressed when dining or drinking at an o and b location. Exceptional. Highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/16/2014Very good for this Summerlicious event; well worth the price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- They don't like SummerliciouscindyDined on 7/15/2014I have been to Winterlicious and Summerlicious at other Oliver & Bonacini restaurants. This is my first time visit Jump. I had great experience at other ones but not Jump. The food they served were pre-cooked long time ago, they just heated them up when serving. Taste was average, the look of the plate was ordinary and the hostess was inexperienced. She was not able to tell us where to wait and where is our tablet. We had to find our own spot while waiting. Overall, I wouldn't consider Jump is a up-scale restaurant. Maybe this is place can be a backup plan if other restaurants are too busy.

National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month
|This celebration of American Indian and Alaska Native heritage in November has roots in efforts at the turn of the 20th century to recognize the significant contributions the first Americans made to the growth and establishment of the United States. This month, while recognizing the continuing contributions Native Americans make to our country, we also celebrate the traditions and way of life that is such an important part of our history and culture. Starting as a day of recognition in 1916 in some states, then becoming Native Awareness Week in 1976, the celebration expanded to a month in 1990 and has been signified by Presidential Proclamation every November since 1994.
were somewhere between 7 and 11 million indigenous people living in what
became the United States prior to European contact. These people
belonged to hundreds of diverse nations and tribes. Their systems of
government, their language, their economies, their social customs and
their traditions were often extremely different from one another. This
quiz presents information on women from a variety of nations and
historical periods.

Friday was a good day for Miller Grove High's Henry Brooks, one of the state's top unsigned college basketball prospects.
Earlier in the day, Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl called to officially offer a scholarship to the 6-foot-7 forward who has a 3.9 GPA. "Tennessee loves Henry's tenacity," Miller Grove coach Sharman White said. "He's a high-energy player who is defensive-minded. Tennessee thinks he's a good fit for what they do."
Brooks was excited about the offer. "I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but it was good news. Tennessee has a great basketball program and it's close to home so my friends and family can see me play. I'm definitely very interested."
Brooks also has a scholarship offer from ex-UGA coach Tubby Smith, who now coaches at Minnesota. UConn also called on Friday to inquire about Brooks. Missouri and Washington are also evaluating Brooks for a possible offer.
Later in the day, Brooks and Miller Grove defeated Villa Rica 79-54 in the Class AAAA quarterfinals. Miller Grove is the two-time defending state champions.
Note: We commend Brooks for his excellence in both academics and athletics. Here's some more info on Brooks from a recent AJC article:
Miller Grove's Henry Brooks emphasizes his school grades as much as he does defending opposing basketball players.
Brooks maintains a 3.9 GPA in college prep classes and is being recruited by Ivy League schools Harvard, Penn and Cornell.
On the basketball court, Brooks is an ace defender for No. 1-ranked Miller Grove, which is the two-time reigning Class AAAA state champion and favored to win the championship again.
Brooks, who moved with his mother and three older siblings to metro Atlanta from the New Orleans area after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, is a role model at the DeKalb County school for his athletic and academic excellence.
"It's a tribute to Henry and his desire to be the best at everything," Miller Grove coach Sharman White said. "It's just the natural way he operates. He wants to be the highest achiever in everything."
"When we're at practice, he wants to win in every competitive drill. In the classroom, it's the same way. If he gets an 89 on a grade, Henry will fight tooth and nail to figure out what he has to do to get one more point for an 'A.'"
At 6-foot-7 and 215 pounds, Brooks is hard to overlook in basketball, but that has been the situation with college recruiters until only recently. Brooks plays in the shadows of two of the state's elite 2012 prospects, teammates Tony Parker and Brandon Morris.
"Henry is long, athletic and plays very smart — he's definitely a high-level Division I player," Chamblee coach Caesar Burgess said. "If he was playing for another team, he would be a 20-point-per-game scorer and pulling down double digits in rebounds every night.
"But he plays for Miller Grove with those other guys, and he knows his role very well. He's very unselfish. He does all the little things it takes to win."
Brooks averages 13.5 points and 8.2 rebounds for Miller Grove, including a 21-point effort in the championship game of the Beach Ball Classic in December. In a narrow 49-46 win over Southwest DeKalb earlier this month, Brooks scored 10 clutch points in the game's last few minutes.
However, Brooks' defensive accomplishments have brought the most satisfaction. "I would much rather defend the last shot rather than take it," he said. "I'm an assured defender. I believe no one can score on me on defense."
Brooks held Milton's Dai-Jon Parker to seven points in a 71-61 upset victory Dec. 4. It was the only loss to a Georgia team during the regular season for Milton.
Recruiting has picked up for Brooks, one of the state's top unsigned seniors. Minnesota coach Tubby Smith recently offered a scholarship, while N.C. State, Missouri and Georgia State have shown interest.
"He's a 'Tubby' type of player," White said. "Henry is a high-energy guy who is defensive-minded and can score. He has a high basketball IQ and makes good decisions on the floor."

What is the deal with him and UGA? UGA needs to improve defensively!
March 4th, 2011
10:33 pm
I agree Michael! I know he is about the same size as some of the current Bulldogs and signees, but I'm not sure any of them can defend the way he is showing in high school.
March 4th, 2011
10:35 pm
Will Tech keep Hewitt next year. I think he maybe a great recruiter, but lost out on alot of one and done players. If those players would have stayed another year, they would be better.
March 4th, 2011
11:04 pm
Michael, the walk-on plan sounds like a good one to me, although if I was Mr. Brooks, I'd want some kind of assurance that I'd pick up an athletic scholarship later if, for some reason, I lost my Hope (or other ) academic scholarship. We certainly could use an outstanding defender and more guys with high basketball IQs.
March 4th, 2011
11:25 pm
The Vols might be on probation soon from what the rumors are. Seriously, does anyone think the combo of Pearl and Kiffin did not violate a number of rules? With grades like that, UConn would be a better fit, or he should walk on at UGA or Tech. Tuby Smith is a great man and coach, and he would help this kid develop. Bruce Pearl will help this kid learn how to hold people up at convenience stores, and that's about all.
March 4th, 2011
11:42 pm
@ Hoop Dawg F.Y.I UGA beg AA with a 3.9 to come there… a walk-on with academic scholarship would be the best move. He could get full ride from UGA and get a kick back from HOPE! Beside, then in turn he could get a job and NCAA hands would be tied. If the kid has 3.9 avg… I doubt if he will lose a academic scholarship.
March 5th, 2011
12:58 am
Why in the world would anyone walk on when other programs are showing the love by offering a scholarship??? CRAZY! Would you if you were in his place? He should go to a school that he is crazy about and is crazy about him.
March 5th, 2011
9:32 am
He should go to Tennessee IMHO. Brooks is a very good player
who deserves to play on bigtime SEC stages and get on TV
all the time. Best of luck on your decision Henry!
March 5th, 2011
9:53 am
I feel Pearl has learned something form all this, which will make him a better coach in the future. Brooks will be close to home and should well with the Vols. The Vols do play some big time teams in pre season and gain much TV time.
March 5th, 2011
10:31 am
I agree Pearl has learned a lot from cheating. I know personally I learned a lot and the $ is bigger in the pros.
You ain't trying if you ain't cheating "Vol Nation Motto"

Plus the Vols are looking good with Memphis C Jarnell Stokes whose brother and best friend attend UT and PF Shaq Goodwin from Decatur really likes the Vols. Kevin Ware is recruiting many of GA's top players to join him at Tennessee.
March 5th, 2011

The kid should run the opposite direction from the state of tennershe. That program is toast. I know it Pearl knows it and the vile fambly knows it. GEORGIA KIDS, STAY AWAY FROM TENNERSHE! THEY ARE GOING DOWN IN FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL!
March 5th, 2011

He wont get any publicity at UT. They are going to be on probation. No doubt about it.
March 5th, 2011
10:46 am
@Id, I agree. Take the basketball scholarship offer vs. academic scholarship as "walk on." All I was saying is that Georgia Tech and UGA doesn't have anything to lose by throwing that on table.
March 5th, 2011

LOL at UGA fan. The only place UT is headed is back to the NCAA tourney for the 6th straight season. Georgia looks NIT bound which has become
"the norm" for them….
March 5th, 2011
10:59 am
I can tell you are a UT fan because you don't understand conference standings. Who is ranked higher in the East – UT or UGA?
Not only does UGA have a better conference record but a better overall record.
You really should move and begin going to school in Georgia rather than Tennessee so you can understand how to read standings and records in sports.
March 5th, 2011
11:11 am
@ Idiots Has anyone in your family ever had sports scholarship…. they're year to year not
guarantee. Academic scholarship are guarantee long as you meet guideline… with 3.9 I'm sure he will. Academic also pays for the full year, if he stay in state he would get the hope…
that a 3k check UGA would cut to him. What wrong with walking on when you know
you going start ! You've to put your ego in check and, look at the greater good of money in the bank.

hahaha, a viles fan chiming in on something sports related. Most of the vile nation are cheerleaders, and haven't stepped foot on a court or field of some sort. That is why the viles have to pay out of state players to go there, which is why they are in this mess now.
Georgia has a better record than the viles, and are projected to be selected to the tourny while uteezy will be left out. hahahhaa!!!!
March 5th, 2011
11:56 am
UT has one of the highest SOS and RPI rankings = a 8 or 9 seed.
UGA has soft schedule and few big wins. If UGA wants in the dance they better pick up some more wins. Last I saw they are a bubble team near a 12 seed. Conference wins won't help that much!
March 5th, 2011
11:59 am
it is unbelievable that Tech has not given the kid an offer! Hewitt strikes again!
March 5th, 2011
12:28 pm
Dunks–Check the facts–As of today UT's RPI is one point better than UGA's.
UGA is in the NCAA tourney, and their seeding will be comparable to Tennessee's. Most sites have UGA as an 8, 9, or 10 seed.
March 5th, 2011
12:53 pm
Scotty Hopson is going pro.
I think it might be a good move for Henry to take his talents to Knoxville and take his place.
Glancing over the roster, there are other players from the State
of Georgia playing at Tennessee as well. I was surprised by that.
March 5th, 2011
2:05 pm
Sounds like the kid would be a good fit at UT. I am a UGA graduate and pull for the Dawgs but it's kind of crazy how much bias occurs with fellow fans. Pearl has never been accused of paying any player. He committed secondary violations by having Junior H.S. players and their families over to his house for a cook-out. The big problem as that the dummy lied to the NCAA about it. The NCAA comes down hard on any SEC team not named Alabama or Florida so Pearl make get big time penalties including the dreaded ban from coaching but I doubt it. Calhoun was both accused and found guilty of worse violations but just given a slap on the wrist. UT basketball should be OK if the NCAA is fair at all. Pearl is a bit of a snake but his results are big-time. The Dawgs should be in the tourney for sure but their SOS is about 50 spots lower than UT's number 2 in the nation. I hope the SEC gets 6 teams in the dance but it's doubtful. I think UT probably gets in ahead of UGA if it comes down to only one of them getting in though. You can't argue with wins over road wins over Pitt and Villanova. The Dawgs have underachieved a bit this year in my opinion. We should have won at least 11 or 12 SEC games and finished first in east. A road win over Alabama today should make us a complete lock for the big dance though.
March 5th, 2011
2:20 pm
Counselor Ryan, You are a smart man and exactly right all around. I love Bruce Pearl but what a numb nut move he made by lying to the NCAA. That being said, I hope he is at UT for years to come and Brooks sounds like a great fit for UT because we will be going back to being a more full court pressing team. UT needs Georgia to get beat by Alabama and Florida to beat Vandy and we need to beat UK so we can get a #2 seed in the SEC tournament. Other than that I wish Georgia good luck for the rest of the season. Go Vols
March 5th, 2011
2:32 pm
Right Ryan. I forgot about the Vols beating Pitt. That game was in
Pittsburgh and the Panthers got blown out.
Bama looking tough today. If they win it looks good for the Tide
vs. the bubble – which also hurts the dawgs.
Florida, KY, Vandy, Tennessee, and maybe one more SEC team makes the dance. Who will that last team be?
March 5th, 2011
3:55 pm
Georgia just lost to Bama. If we beat UK we will have the same conference records. I know you guys didn't have Trey Thompkins against Bama, but we didn't have Scotty Hopson against them, so it looks like they didn't face either of us when we were at full strength. I hope UGA or UT ends Bama's tournament hopes in the first game they play in the SEC tournament.
March 5th, 2011
4:01 pm
In regards to Brooks, I am not sure how he would fit in with Tennessee's roster. Hopson is going pro after this year and we have Tatum, Ware and McRae that are 6-6 small forwards already on the roster. Brooks seems like he would provide depth for UT, but not see the floor until his junior year at the earliest. If a top 40 recruit like Jordan McRae cannot find ANY playing time, then Brooks may want to look at other schools.
Tennessee is really late in the game on many recruits. I think they really thought they would sign Adonis Thomas or Jakarr Simpson and struck out on both in the same week a few months ago. UT needs a big time 2012 class with at least two big men.
March 5th, 2011

Thompkins started and played the whole game against Alabama. UGA was at full strength and lost.
March 5th, 2011
7:17 pm
ESPN / Lunardi just listed Georgia as the 1st team OUT
of the field of 64 now. It was just on.
BIG loss for the dawgs today and Big win for the Tide.
March 5th, 2011
7:17 pm
I mean field of 68 now…
March 5th, 2011
10:12 pm
I guess it will come down to how well the dawgs do in the tournament. One and and done and they are out. Georgia has most definitely took some games off this year. When they played up to there potential they were a very good team. Problem was that far to often they played down right uninspired and sloppy basketball. Fox I don't know how good the players are that you recruited this season but for christ sakes get someone who can actually shoot a jump shot. The outside shooting for Georgia boderlines pathetic.
As far as young Mr Brooks situation goes. Go to the school that you most want to go to. If that be Georgia or Tech then if a walk on and a academic scholarship is all that you can get, then why not go that route. If Georgia nor Tech are the schools that you are most interested in, then good luck where ever you go. Sorry Vol fans but Tennessee is going to get it. I mean if Bruce Pearl is stupid enough to go out and commit another violation 4 days after coming clean then the man is obviously a cheat and a person of low integrity. I don't think the man has a honest bone in his body. He knew that he was breaking the rules the minute that he broke them. His only regret is that he got caught. If he is that arrogant then I would have to think that he has done much worse. His boss strikes me as being a bit on the shadey side also.

Pearl has been recruitintg Georgia HARD after the Harrick fiasco. Tennessee is doing quite well in Georgia because they can. Mark Fox is a great coach (at least as good as Pearl) but probably won't last at Georgia because of the lack of commitment by the AD (no, I'm not buying old school McGarity's smoke-blowing) and basketball-ignorant Athletic Association. Georgia is not willing to do what it takes to win consistently…build up the program in-state and hire a juggernaut recruiting assistant. Too many players get away, and it also doen't help when you have AAU and "club" coaches around the state directing kids to anywhere but Georgia. This was compounded by the former coaches. Tubby couldn't recruit and Harrick couldn't either although he was the best hoops coach Georgia ever had. What a great instructor. Perhaps Fox will get to that, but probably not in Athens. I am looking forward to seeing UT on probabtion at last. I still say Pearl will never win anything big, but he knows he can take advantage of Georgia like many, many, many other coaches have in the past.
March 6th, 2011
1:26 am
Georgia was NOT at full strength today. Thompkins was hurting bad. UGA would have beaten Bama in Athens for sure. Bama did well this year and went 16-0 at home and beat UT in Knoxville. Both team deserve an NCAA bid. I am just afraid of what will happen to Mark Fox if his team doesn't make it in. Probably won't make it next season either since Leslie and Thompkins are both going to make very poor decision of entering the NBA draft. UGA basketball…the biggest underachieving program in NCAA Division I.
March 6th, 2011
8:04 am
If ya ask me neither Georgia nor Alabama should be in the "dance" and Tennessee should be on the bubble at best. The SEC from top to bottom is pretty weak and it's very true in the SEC West.
On the subject of Henry Brooks he is one smart fella. Sounds like he would succeed no matter where he goes. I hope he opts to stay in the SEC because I have read where he is quite the player.
March 6th, 2011
3:23 pm
Don't see how any kids parents could be okay with them playing for Bruce Pearl.
March 7th, 2011

Congrat's Henry. There's a tradition of great DeKalb players in Tenn. Good Luck

Grow up Nick. Not many "kids" playing college BBall.
If the young man goes to Tennessee i'm sure he will
have success there just as he would at many other SEC

Live at Wills point Sacramento CA 7/24/54
This is my 1964 Wright/Sierra D8 6 pedals.
What can I say its roughly the same weight as the RMS Queen Mary, but its my favorite guitar to date, it works for me.
The front neck is tuned to Bb 6th and has seven tuning changes.
The rear neck (or closest) is tuned F13th and has 3 tuning changes.
Hi to Lo
Front neck, F D Bb G F D Bb G
Rear neck, F D A G Eb C A F
The great Western Swing steel guitarist Billy Tonnesen once gave some very sage advice " think of your tunings as one big tuning ".
That certainly made sense to me, I also think its always good to have tunings in similar registers ie A6 and E13 ( or E7/E9 ) hence the Bb and F key choices
Here is my 1959 Wright Custom Volume Tone pedal, it was originally made for Bert Rivera http://www.bertrivera.com/
I have over the years heard people right off ( no pun intended ) the Wright pedal as a clone of the Bigsby, but after close inspection that doesn't hold water.
Though similar the wright is physically different in shape and size.
That said, unless you like tinkering I would recommend that if your after one of these units get yourself the Fender version, in fact the new Korean made one is great for the money

Earl James (Joaquin) Murphey, blows the roof off the joint
Here is the Voice box, a cheap Vox AC15 repro cab from GC $130, it was closed backed with a Chinese Celestion ( actually didn't sound bad ).
I fashioned a 40% open back panel and installed an Altec 414Z woofer that had been reconed and remagged by Great Plains Audio with a full range 417C kit.
Though not visible, there is a Weber beam blocker in front of the speaker which diffuses the highs from the center to the edge of the speaker.
Im often off access to the speaker so the beam blocker gives me a better picture of my eq
I had been thinking about trying EF86's for a while just to see if they would yield new sonic horizons (Nope !)
Luckily for me Skip dug up this adapter out of the mother load, it sure did save a lot of grief.
The long and the short of it was that both tube types sound identical sonicly, but the EF86 is way quieter
She may look a little rough around the edges, but she purr's like a finely tuned Jaguar.
The power section has cold war period tubes, mid 50's Mil Sylvania's 807's (5933) and a 1960 Russian Mil 6N7 Dual triode phase inverter , all NOS.
The amp has a two channels, #1 is the blend channel its an active eq arrangement.
It has two controls Bass Vol and Treble Vol, as each knob is turned gain and Hi or Lo frequencies are increased.
Both channel #1 controls have there own tube 6SJ7 or EF86 ( they are both sharp cut off pentodes) they come together at the next gain stage (6SF5).
Skip had been employing this idea on his tube mixers with good results, we decided to adapt it and I must say its extremely useful.
We later found out from SoCal amp guru Tim Maag that Bob Crooks used this very idea in some 50L15's (nothing new under the sun I guess )
Channel #2 is a completely different animal it is a totally flat eq and lends itself well to Jazz guitar or Hawaiian steel, it also has a lower gain.

RACINE, Wis (WSAU-Wheeler News) Food-stamp recipients in far southeast Wisconsin will be the first ones to have to work in order to keep getting their benefits. The requirement takes effect on January 1st statewide -- but it's getting a head-start tomorrow in Racine, Kenosha, and Walworth counties so the bugs can get worked out.
Majority Republicans passed a requirement last year that Food-Share recipients must either work, or be enrolled in an employee-training program to keep getting the food cards. In general, the change will affect adults age 18-to-49 with no children in their home who are physically able to work. The Racine Journal Times says it includes two-thousand of Racine County's 17,000 total Food-Share recipients.
The non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau estimates that about half the affected recipients will not be able to fulfill the new requirements -- and they'll be booted out of the food stamp program. Federal law requires childless healthy adults to work 20 hours a week to get food stamps. Wisconsin had a waiver from that requirement, until the state ended it.

WILLIAMSBURG -- Police say a Williamsburg woman left her young child home alone.
Police were called to the 900 block of Capitol Landing Road Thursday afternoon about a crying baby that had been left alone.
The child's mother, 25-year-old Kristin Marie Kelly, arrived just before police arrived, authorities said.
Investigators determined the child, who is under the age of one, had been left more than five minutes and no more than an hour, said spokesman Major Greg Riley.
The child wasn't hurt, he added. Kelly has been charged with neglect.

SJ30 to re-enter production in 2014 with "SyberVision"
SyberJet Aircraft plans to resume production of the SJ30 light twinjet in 2014 with a new glass panel cockpit called SyberVision, with core avionics supplied by Honeywell. SyberJet hopes to have the new avionics certified in the third quarter of 2014, with first delivery of the jet in the fourth quarter of 2014. The company announced that it is not taking orders for new aircraft deliveries at this time, but should begin doing so shortly.
The SJ30 was designed by Ed Swearingen in the late 1980s. Production ceased after eight aircraft were built and the then-design owner, Emivest Aerospace, filed bankruptcy in 2010. Last year the program's assets were acquired by MT LLC, a company affiliated with airframe supplier Metalcraft Technologies.
The new avionics will include Honeywell's SmartView synthetic vision with HUD symbology in a heads down presentation on the primary flight display, dual FMS, and INAV moving map. The suite features up to four 12-inch displays, charts/maps, Taws-A, dual Waas GPS/LPV, graphical flight planning, onboard weather radar, electronic checklists, DME, and ADS-B OUT. The system will support Fans-1A and RVSM operations. Available options include controller pilot data link communications, high frequency radio, satcom, ADS-B IN, enhanced vision, XM WX, flight data recorder, cockpit voice recorder, dual charts/maps, a second MFD and other customer-specified options.
Acquire by metalcraft?
the article mentioned that the company was acquired by MT LLC last year.
