Crews Begin Restoration Work at Crescent Hill Reservoir and Gatehouse
Thursday December 19, 2013
Scaffolding surrounds the Crescent Hill Gatehouse and workers are seemingly dangling over millions of gallons of water. Work is underway to restore the Gatehouse at the Crescent Hill Reservoir. The site, at Frankfort and Reservoir Avenue, is a favorite walking destination and part of Louisville Water's treatment process. Louisville Water is replacing the slate roof on the Gatehouse and restoring the inside of the facility. This week, crews completed the scaffolding around the outside of the building and have begun the restoration.
This is the first extensive restoration of the Gatehouse in its 130-year history. The Crescent Hill Reservoir and Gatehouse were constructed in 1878 to provide the growing city with a larger supply of water and to allow sediment to settle out of the Ohio River water. Chief Engineer Charles Hermany also had a secondary purpose when he designed the Gothic-style structure – he wanted to create a destination for travelers coming through Louisville by train and for the locals who could use the site to escape the city for a stroll.
Today, the Reservoir and Gatehouse are still part of Louisville Water's treatment process where sediment settles out of 110 million gallons of water before traveling to the Filtration Plant. The Reservoir is still a popular walking destination and while the work is underway, there's a new twist in the route – the pathway is open to walkers and runners, but you can't make a full loop around the site.
The project includes replacing the original slate roof, restoring cast iron details on the exterior and repairing windows and masonry. It is a tedious project considering the structure sits in the middle of a gigantic basin of water. The work will conclude by the end of September 2014 with a total cost of $2.2 million.

Late Night Bookworm on Flickr.
After graduation I found myself with more free time, so I started picking up some books to read. I never was a big fan or reading, but nowadays I find myself taking trips to my local used bookstore to see what else I can read. I got a Kindle eReader for Christmas and now I have a full queue of eBooks loaded waiting to be read!
Right now I'm in the middle of reading the Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth. Pretty good so far!
2013. on Flickr.
It's been a while since I've uploaded. I apologize!
2013 is here and there's going to be some new things happening to my life. First, I'm currently packing right now to leave for San Francisco today. I will be completing my senior project at a company in the Silicon Valley area until March! This will definitely give me a chance to shoot around the Bay area so stay tuned!
2013 also marks the year of my graduation from college. I'll be making a major transition to the 'read world', and will start working at a company I was recently hired at.
Great things will happen in 2013. Happy New Year everyone!

It was my birthday yesterday and I am officially 21 years old! I don't really drink much but now it feels weird that I can. I don't feel 21…heck I still don't feel like I'm 20 yet! I'm still a kid at heart, and it's hard to transition into adult life. What I realized today is that things aren't going to slow down for me anymore. I'm graduating college next year and finding a real job after that. It's scary I know….but I have one thing to say… BRING IT ON!

I just purchased a light stand with shoot-thru umbrella and bracket. I gotta say, I made some comparisons with my speedlites and they do made a difference! They not only soften the light, but also reflects circles to the eyes, making them brighter, and nicer. I like the fact that the lighting blends in with the environment. Looks like natural lighting even though it isn't.
I also been playing with filters on photoshop. I've made my own filter from a tutorial online and it gives a bit of texture to the photo. Me like.

I just upgraded my RAM and my OS to Lion and I wanted to test how Photoshop behaved. It's super duper speedy when processing this! No more spinning beach ball of DEATH.
Anyways, when choosing the items to juggle, I knew a lens would be one, and Danbo would be the other. Having no idea what to use for my third, I ran around my house and finally spotted bananas. I love bananas. Bananas all the way.

Labelled takes visual street magic to the next level! Imagine being able to show an unopened and sealed soda bottle. You sign the label then visually, with an open hand, push it INSIDE the bottle!. Sound good? How about if the bottle REALLY is unopened and can be left with the spectator as an impossible souvenir? Ben Williams has taken a stunning magic effect and turned it into a visual street magic masterpiece for the working magician. Labelled does not have to stop at your signature. You can write whatever you like on the label, your contact details, website or even a prediction! It's limited only by your imagination! Don't just take our word for it, watch the video demo and see just how clean and mind-blowing Labelled really is!
Is labelled easy to do? Yes! Performing Labelled is SUPER SIMPLE! If you can hold a bottle, you can do this effect! Ben has slowly perfected the design of this effect through constant development and real world performance to strip out all the moves and sleights, allowing you to focus on your presentation and enjoy watching your audiences jaws hitting the floor! Is this a special bottle that I would need to get back from the spectator after the effect? NO! That's what makes Labelled so powerful! When you visually push the signed label through the soda bottle, right before the spectators eyes, it's a very strong piece of magic! The audience will REALLY want to examine the bottle and they CAN, Infact you can leave it with them as an amazing and impossible souvenir! I'm a working magician, is this going to be practical in real world conditions? YES! Once you learn the set up you can get this ready to perform in approx 15 minutes. The instructional video takes you through the whole process in detail in real time. This can be done pre-show, so when your out and about your ready to go! Alternativly you can reuse the bottle for an instant reset!
Visually stunning Angle proof Resets easily Street magic at its best Includes BONUS 'Junior Labelled' the super quick set up version!
REVIEWS "If I was at a party and someone performed Labelled for me I'd s**t myself!" Nathan Kranzo"Just want to say thanks to Ben for his trick. Got it this morning and already freaked out my mates." K Mathews "Great effect and very clean ending. Wrote my telephone number on the label, smacked it through and left it with a really fit girl ;-)" M Taylor "I don't normally make a personal comment about new effects that I help launch, but I'll make an exception with Labelled. When Ben first approached us with this, I saw the potential right away!We recieved a review from M Taylor (see above) which gave me an idea! I was having a meeting with an agent a few weeks ago and rather than just hand out my card, I wrote my contact details on a fizzy drink bottle and pushed it through into the sealed bottle. A few days later I recieved a call confirming the booking plus another booking from a client who saw the bottle and was told all about me." Dominic Reyes

Hi BuddyPress !
So; BP1.5 is coming soon and it's very exciting… But what about privacy ? Is there some news about all this ?
Privacy is one of the most important part of a social network, so I think Buddypress should REALLY develop it.
Why not use something like Google Circles ? Be able to put friends in circles and choose what (including profile fields) is shared with who.
What do u think ?

Jamaal Franklin added 14 points, five assists and four rebounds, while JJ O'Brien finished with 12 points for the Aztecs (7-1), who have won seven straight since losing their season opener against Syracuse.
San Diego State made 11-of-17 from beyond the arc in the victory.
Kyle Boswell tallied 23 points and nailed seven triples for UC Santa Barbara (3-5), which has dropped three of its last four contests.
"They have a bunch of weapons you have to respect," Boswell said of the Aztecs. "If you're going to give up one thing they are going to exploit you in another way."
Alan Williams netted 18 points and Taran Brown finished with 16 in defeat.
UCSB's lone lead of the game was 5-4 after Brown knocked down a trey, but the Aztecs responded with a 14-0 run.
O'Brien had six points during the surge and San Diego State led, 18-5, with 13:57 left in the opening 20 minutes before taking a 46-29 edge into the break.
The Aztecs were 6-of-8 from 3-point range in the stanza.
"We shot the ball about as well as I've seen a San Diego State team since I've been here shoot it in the first half," SDSU head coach Steve Fisher said.
The hosts' margin swelled to as many as 27 in the second half.
Game Notes
San Diego State has won 27 consecutive contests against teams from California ... The Aztecs won their 20th straight game in the month of December ... SDSU's 11 treys tied a season high.

SHOSHONE COUNTY, Idaho -- People visiting the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River in North Idaho have been leaving trash behind and some of it ends up in the river.
Business owners say they see several thousand people floating down the river on summer weekends leaving trash along the riverside.
Some believe those who leave trash on the shore need to be regulated.
"The biggest and most disheartening thing and this was just last weekend at our campground was baby diapers," said Don King, owner of Albert's Landing Bar & Grill.
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality has recently launched the "Respect the River" Facebook page to bring awareness to the problem and drum up solutions.
Albert's Landing is coordinating with other groups and businesses to have a river clean up day.
The clean-up in September 7th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Albert's Landing.

Holy Shit, I am so excited about this! I had almost given up hope of ever hearing anything from them again..
I Am The Avalanche have been teasing a new record for ages, so when word came that the band would officially be hitting the studio we thought that it would be a great idea to catch up with Vinnie Cuaruna to chat about the record. Vinnie and I discussed the mass amount of songs the band has, how the writing process has evolved for the band, touring, and even The Movielife reunion shows. Don't miss out on this, it's a great read!
There are stories tracing back over two years that I Am The Avalanche was recording its sophomore release, and now the band finally is in the studio tracking it with Brian. Can you walk us through step-by-step the long, long delays and road blocks from 2008 to now?
Basically, the band kind of got into a routine of real life with work and paying bills, and writing and recording music. But we kind of took a break. Our label situation started to go into limbo, so when that was going on we quietly wrote music and played shows here and there just to say busy and keep relevant. As far as recording with Brian goes, we're not actually recording with Brian. This record is being produced by The Ratt, who is our drummer. It's being produced by him and the band. Brian's involvement in the process is more just him kind of affording us some of his resources to help us do our thing in the studio. Not to say that we won't be recording with Brian one day, because I really feel like him and I make a really good team.
We've seen Drive-Thru put many bands and artists like Hellogoodbye and Ace Enders through issues. Are you guys all through with them now?
As far as the whole Drive-Thru thing goes, us and Drive-Thru are on good terms and the whole label situation with be worked out. We're on good terms with Drive-Thru. Regardless of it, we're making a record as we speak. The fact that we're not signed isn't holding us back from recording the record. It's business as usual as far as recording. We're completely in motion with that.
America is not broke.
Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe so that you'll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had, America is not broke. Not by a long shot. The country is awash in wealth and cash. It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
Today just 400 Americans have more wealth than half of all Americans combined.
Let me say that again. 400 obscenely rich people, most of whom benefited in some way from the multi-trillion dollar taxpayer "bailout" of 2008, now have more loot, stock and property than the assets of 155 million Americans combined. If you can't bring yourself to call that a financial coup d'etat, then you are simply not being honest about what you know in your heart to be true.
And I can see why. For us to admit that we have let a small group of men abscond with and hoard the bulk of the wealth that runs our economy, would mean that we'd have to accept the humiliating acknowledgment that we have indeed surrendered our precious Democracy to the moneyed elite. Wall Street, the banks and the Fortune 500 now run this Republic — and, until this past month, the rest of us have felt completely helpless, unable to find a way to do anything about it.
I have nothing more than a high school degree. But back when I was in school, every student had to take one semester of economics in order to graduate. And here's what I learned: Money doesn't grow on trees. It grows when we make things. It grows when we have good jobs with good wages that we use to buy the things we need and thus create more jobs. It grows when we provide an outstanding educational system that then grows a new generation of inventers, entrepreneurs, artists, scientists and thinkers who come up with the next great idea for the planet. And that new idea creates new jobs and that creates revenue for the state. But if those who have the most money don't pay their fair share of taxes, the state can't function. The schools can't produce the best and the brightest who will go on to create those jobs. If the wealthy get to keep most of their money, we have seen what they will do with it: recklessly gamble it on crazy Wall Street schemes and crash our economy. The crash they created cost us millions of jobs. That too caused a reduction in revenue. And the population ended up suffering because they reduced their taxes, reduced our jobs and took wealth out of the system, removing it from circulation.
The nation is not broke, my friends. Wisconsin is not broke. It's part of the Big Lie. It's one of the three biggest lies of the decade: America/Wisconsin is broke, Iraq has WMD, the Packers can't win the Super Bowl without Brett Favre.
The truth is, there's lots of money to go around. LOTS. It's just that those in charge have diverted that wealth into a deep well that sits on their well-guarded estates. They know they have committed crimes to make this happen and they know that someday you may want to see some of that money that used to be yours. So they have bought and paid for hundreds of politicians across the country to do their bidding for them. But just in case that doesn't work, they've got their gated communities, and the luxury jet is always fully fueled, the engines running, waiting for that day they hope never comes. To help prevent that day when the people demand their country back, the wealthy have done two very smart things:
1. They control the message. By owning most of the media they have expertly convinced many Americans of few means to buy their version of the American Dream and to vote for their politicians. Their version of the Dream says that you, too, might be rich some day – this is America, where anything can happen if you just apply yourself! They have conveniently provided you with believable examples to show you how a poor boy can become a rich man, how the child of a single mother in Hawaii can become president, how a guy with a high school education can become a successful filmmaker. They will play these stories for you over and over again all day long so that the last thing you will want to do is upset the apple cart — because you — yes, you, too! — might be rich/president/an Oscar-winner some day! The message is clear: keep your head down, your nose to the grindstone, don't rock the boat and be sure to vote for the party that protects the rich man that you might be some day.
2. They have created a poison pill that they know you will never want to take. It is their version of mutually assured destruction. And when they threatened to release this weapon of mass economic annihilation in September of 2008, we blinked. As the economy and the stock market went into a tailspin, and the banks were caught conducting a worldwide Ponzi scheme, Wall Street issued this threat: Either hand over trillions of dollars from the American taxpayers or we will crash this economy straight into the ground. Fork it over or it's Goodbye savings accounts. Goodbye pensions. Goodbye United States Treasury. Goodbye jobs and homes and future. It was friggin' awesome and it scared the shit out of everyone. "Here! Take our money! We don't care. We'll even print more for you! Just take it! But, please, leave our lives alone, PLEASE!"
The executives in the board rooms and hedge funds could not contain their laughter, their glee, and within three months they were writing each other huge bonus checks and marveling at how perfectly they had played a nation full of suckers. Millions lost their jobs anyway, and millions lost their homes. But there was no revolt (see #1).
Until now. On Wisconsin! Never has a Michigander been more happy to share a big, great lake with you! You have aroused the sleeping giant know as the working people of the United States of America. Right now the earth is shaking and the ground is shifting under the feet of those who are in charge. Your message has inspired people in all 50 states and that message is: WE HAVE HAD IT! We reject anyone tells us America is broke and broken. It's just the opposite! We are rich with talent and ideas and hard work and, yes, love. Love and compassion toward those who have, through no fault of their own, ended up as the least among us. But they still crave what we all crave: Our country back! Our democracy back! Our good name back! The United States of America. NOT the Corporate States of America. The United States of America!
So how do we get this? Well, we do it with a little bit of Egypt here, a little bit of Madison there. And let us pause for a moment and remember that it was a poor man with a fruit stand in Tunisia who gave his life so that the world might focus its attention on how a government run by billionaires for billionaires is an affront to freedom and morality and humanity.
Thank you, Wisconsin. You have made people realize this was our last best chance to grab the final thread of what was left of who we are as Americans. For three weeks you have stood in the cold, slept on the floor, skipped out of town to Illinois — whatever it took, you have done it, and one thing is for certain: Madison is only the beginning. The smug rich have overplayed their hand. They couldn't have just been content with the money they raided from the treasury. They couldn't be satiated by simply removing millions of jobs and shipping them overseas to exploit the poor elsewhere. No, they had to have more – something more than all the riches in the world. They had to have our soul. They had to strip us of our dignity. They had to shut us up and shut us down so that we could not even sit at a table with them and bargain about simple things like classroom size or bulletproof vests for everyone on the police force or letting a pilot just get a few extra hours sleep so he or she can do their job — their $19,000 a year job. That's how much some rookie pilots on commuter airlines make, maybe even the rookie pilots flying people here to Madison. But he's stopped trying to get better pay. All he asks is that he doesn't have to sleep in his car between shifts at O'Hare airport. That's how despicably low we have sunk. The wealthy couldn't be content with just paying this man $19,000 a year. They wanted to take away his sleep. They wanted to demean and dehumanize him. After all, he's just another slob.
And that, my friends, is Corporate America's fatal mistake. But trying to destroy us they have given birth to a movement — a movement that is becoming a massive, non-violent revolt across the country. We all knew there had to be a breaking point some day, and that point is upon us. Many people in the media don't understand this. They say they were caught off guard about Egypt, never saw it coming. Now they act surprised and flummoxed about why so many hundreds of thousands have come to Madison over the last three weeks during brutal winter weather. "Why are they all standing out there in the cold? I mean there was that election in November and that was supposed to be that!"
"There's something happening here, and you don't know what it is, do you…?"
America ain't broke! The only thing that's broke is the moral compass of the rulers. And we aim to fix that compass and steer the ship ourselves from now on. Never forget, as long as that Constitution of ours still stands, it's one person, one vote, and it's the thing the rich hate most about America — because even though they seem to hold all the money and all the cards, they begrudgingly know this one unshakeable basic fact: There are more of us than there are of them!
Madison, do not retreat. We are with you. We will win together."—Michael Moore - Speech delivered at Wisconsin Capitol in Madison, March 5, 2011

News and Events Details
At the University of Wisconsin-Superior, faculty-community partnerships have become a successful way to help university students learn course material, while addressing a community need. This semester, Julie Gard, faculty member in the Writing and Library Science Department, is teaching a class in Business and Professional Writing. Her class will be writing newsletters to supplement the Fruit and Vegetable Program, funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) at Lake Superior Elementary. The purpose of the newsletters is to give parents the support they need to purchase produce for their family.
Nutrition in the Schools
"Fitness and nutrition are a part of me," says Mark Howard, the principal of Lake Superior Elementary. When Lake Superior Elementary received a grant to run the program, he was excited. This program allows children to have fresh produce three times a week - two fruits and one vegetable - during snack time for the school year.
This is the second year of the grant and staff report on the success during school hours. Audrey Welsh, head cook of the school, says, "I've had kids who've only had canned peaches." When these children tasted fresh peaches for the first time, they wanted more.
Encouraging Nutrition at Home
But last year, Howard discovered that when children asked their parents if they could eat the fruits and vegetables presented at school at home, they were unable to do so. Some reasons for this were parents' unfamiliarity with the produce or uncertainty about how to cook it.
How do you address nutrition at home? How can parents be encouraged to purchase an item they rarely use? Welsh asks, "How do you get parents to buy some jicama if they have no idea what that is?"
UW-Superior Students Part of the Solution
It may seem like a challenge, but Howard knew where to turn. He sought the help of the Center for Academic Service-Learning, which connected him to Gard's class.
Gard's class of 36 students, comprised of two sections, will be working on weekly newsletters with nutrition information, recipes, and even riddles that align with produce being introduced that week. Past research has shown that when provided with convenient recipes and information about healthy food, likelihood for purchase and consumption increases.
An Experiential Learning Opportunity for Students
Students will meet course objectives by engaging in professional communication with the school, developing their research skills, and understanding the principles of professional communication through writing. Gard says an important skill is learning to identify and address the needs of their audience. She hopes that they will learn more about gearing their writing toward a particular audience. In this case, it is elementary school students and their parents. She believes this ability is an important part of being an effective professional writer.
Mutually-beneficial Relationship
Howard ends the day by bringing up one of the most well-recognized values of service-learning - the mutual beneficial relationship between university students and community sites. When asked what sparked his interest in seeking university students, he says, "I need 21st century skills." College students are able to offer the most up-to-date writing tactics.
This newsletter has the potential to improve nutrition at home for children at his school. Gard's students also benefit - she is drawn to the collaboration because it gives her students a chance to apply what they are learning and write real professional documents. It also helps connect students to the community.
"It's a two-way street," Howard says.
Academic Service-Learning is a form of experiential learning that encourages university-community partnerships. Service-learning gives students an opportunity to learn course objectives through related, meaningful community service. The Center for Academic Service-Learning works to ensure partnerships are mutually beneficial for service-learners and the community sites served.

Investment banks deliver murky results
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have been trying to expand stable businesses such as asset management, but volatile trading continues to be a large revenue source.
By Dan Freed, TheStreet
Earnings from large securities firms varied in the third quarter, and results for the fourth quarter will remain difficult to predict despite efforts by regulators and banks to stabilize the businesses.
Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS) have been increasing their capital cushions and beefing up areas such as asset management that offer more stable income. But trading still accounts for the majority of their profits and losses, and performance in that business has been volatile.
Trading performance has been spotty at the investment banking divisions of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup (C), Bank of America (BAC) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM). And the companies still offer few details on the performance of different trading desks.
Companies in other sectors can point to orders they have received from clients that will affect the next quarter's results. Investment banks can talk about mergers and acquisitions they're working on. But not only do such deals fall apart, they rarely matter.
Analysts rely heavily on informal forecasts from management toward the end of the quarter to give them a sense of how trading profits are shaping up.
What is clear is that Morgan Stanley continues to struggle more than many of its peers, and certainly more than Goldman, to show consistency in its trading division.
Morgan Stanley's $2.894 billion in revenue in its institutional securities business, for example, missed Sandler O'Neill estimates by 10%, or $329 million. However, those were revised estimates. Sandler's third-quarter estimates for the Morgan Stanley division three months ago were $4.13 billion, and Morgan Stanley's largest unit missed that estimate by 30%.
As for Goldman, its trading and principal investment unit revenue of $6.38 billion was 17% higher than Sandler's revised estimates. Sandler would have done far better with the original estimates it had in July of $6.02 billion, which were only 6% short of the mark.
While the numbers are all over the place, the only consistent thread in recent years has been that Goldman usually beats expectations and Morgan Stanley occasionally comes up with a big miss.
"Morgan Stanley was the weakest of the bunch, and they've had a fairly erratic recent history in terms of trading profits," said Soleil Securities analyst Carole Berger.
Asian business was strong for all the major U.S. investment banks, something Berger expects to continue.
"Asia is an emerging market that continues to grow very rapidly for all of them, and Goldman happens to be particularly well-positioned," she said, while noting Citigroup also benefitted from Latin American businesses.
Berger expects big banks to meet new capital rules without having to raise additional equity, though she predicts return on equity to go down across the board.
"What you would like to see is that even though the return on equity is going down, there's less risk to that return, and if that's true then I might be able to be willing to pay almost as much for the lower return on equity than I paid for the higher return on equity with a lot of risk before," she says.
However, Berger expects banks to find a way to ramp up risk again.
"Risk is cyclical, right? Right after every recession that I've ever lived through, the industry tightens up and you get very good credit quality for a couple of years. The real test will come five or six or seven years from now when we've moved further away from the last credit cycle and the competitive juices get going and we're reaching for every piece of business that can be done and we start cutting corners."
Peter Kovalski, analyst and portfolio manager at Alpine Closed End Funds, is even less convinced that investment banks have gone through any fundamental change.
He says financial institutions' regulators went through a similar focus on risk-based assets in the early nineties, forcing banks to increase capital reserves in accordance with a perception of the amount of risk banks were taking on.
"There was concern back then that return on equity was not going to be as good, and low and behold, the industry found other products to make money off of," Kovalski says.

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1969 or 1970) is an American singer-songwriter and actress. Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Carey came to prominence after releasing her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multiplatinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive and later husband Tommy Mottola, she continued booking success with followup albums Emotions (1991), Music Box (1993), and Merry Christmas (1994), Carey was established as Columbia's highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single "One Sweet Day", a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history. During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.

Heading into Saturday's NFC Divisional Round playoff game the San Francisco 49ers listed 13 players on their injury report. But fear not 49ers Faithful, all of the players were listed as probable and are expected to play against the Green Bay Packers.
Of the 13 players on the injury report CB Tarell Bown, S Dashon Goldson, LB Clark Haggans, FB Bruce Miller, LB Aldon Smith, DT Will Tukuafu and DT Justin Smith were limited at practice this week.
The top concern for us is Justin Smith and he is expected to start the game despite him being limited at practice all week. Smith partially tore his left triceps against the New England Patriots which caused him to miss the final two games of the season.
Having Smith on the defensive line will be a big boost, but how effective he will be is a huge question mark. Justin will need to be effective in order to free up Aldon Smith on the outside to get pressure on Aaron Rodgers and disrupting the passing attack. One worry is Justin will further damage his left triceps by playing, but if Jim Harbaugh says he is good to go, then you know he will be fine.
God willing and the creek don't rise, he's going to play, Harbaugh said.
On the Packers side, DE Jerel Worthy and WR Jarrett Boykin are out for the game. WRs Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson are probable after missing practice Wednesday, being limited on Thursday and full participants Friday.
Here is the full injury report:
DNP = Did not participate in practice
LP = Limited participation in practice
FP = Full participation
Full Participation = 100% of a player's normal repititions
Limited Participation = Less than 100% of a player's normal repititions
Out = Player will not play
Doubtful = 25% chance a player will play
Questionable = 50% chance a player will play
Probable = 75% chance a player will play

A Utah couple faces a $3,500 fine and a tarnished credit rating after posting a negative review of an online retailer.
It all started in 2008 when John Palmer tried to buy his wife a Christmas gift from KlearGear.com. When KlearGear.com did not deliver the desk ornament and the site canceled the small transaction, Jen Palmer wrote an unflattering review on RipoffReport.com.
Nothing happened until 2012 when the site contacted the Palmers and demanded the $3,500 because of a non-disparagement clause that it said were included in the site's Terms of Use.
A consumer group that is fighting for the Palmers says that clause was actually not even on the website in 2008 and even if it had been, John Palmer did not write the negative review.
The Palmers refused to pay the fine so KlearGear.com reported the non-payment to at least one credit reporting agency. When the Palmers disputed that debt with credit reporting agencies, KlearGear.com continued to maintain that the debt was owed and also demanded payment of a $50 Dispute Fee.
The family claims that they were then denied credit for a new furnace when their old one broke. They also say they had difficulty getting a lender for a car loan in December of 2012 because of the negative report on John Palmer's credit. They say they were even denied a new credit card.
Public Citizen is the consumer group fighting on behalf of the Palmers. It is asking the company contact the credit agencies and any debt collectors related to the matter to report that they were "in error" and pay the Palmers $75,000 for their troubles. It also wants KlearGear.com to agree to not include a "non-disparagement" clause in its Terms of Use. The group says that if the company does not agree to those terms by Dec. 16, 2013, it will sue and ask for punitive damages.
KlearGear.com has not commented on the potential suit.

- great date night!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/25/2014This is a great spot for a date night or special occasion. Our waiter was great and very knowledgeable. The wine list is incredible and so is the duck! The decor is very romantic and the bar scene downstairs was packed for happy hour.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great dining experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/19/2014The staff was exceptional and the food was phenomenal. The sommelier paired our lamb and beef dishes with a special bottle of wine. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our anniversary.Special Features:
- Gastronomy LiteAre09Dined on 9/10/2014The first time I dined here in early Summer it was interesting and delicious. The Brussel Sprouts were the best thing I had ever eaten. The beet salad was prepared with beets three different ways. One was a beet ribbon with deconstructed olives as a sauce. This time the meal was good but nothing special. If there was anything made special with molecular gastronomy the waiter did not inform us and I couldn't tell. It make me wonder if it is the same chef.Special Features:
- Fantastic!lovetoeatDined on 9/6/2014Terrific food - fabulous service - owner came by and surprised us with some goodies - just all around wonderful!Special Features:
- Simply Amazing!FlexibullDined on 9/6/2014My wife and I were here for the first time and was simply amazed! My wife travels for work (eats out a lot with clients) and is not easily impressed. Before the meal was over we were thinking of friends to bring along with us the next time we come! Gene and the team of servers were very attentive! We started with the scallops and smoked salmon appetizers. Then the Watermelon and Late Summer salads. Main course was the Duck two ways and the Bouillabaisse. For dessert we split a Peach Melba. Can't wait till next time!Special Features:
- Great!mutzfishDined on 8/30/2014Great food, good sized portions. In a great location. NO complaints. Perfect for a nice occasion.Special Features:

- Best meal ever, true fine dining.OklahomakandkDined on 8/30/2014The 6 course dinner was amazing. The food and presentation was exquisite. The ingredients were carefully selected,creative and tasteful. The chefs work in an environment where quality and creativity is nurtured. Our hats off to all for a truly memorable night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this place!harrycDined on 8/30/2014What a great meal for Restaurant Week! All of the courses were excellent!!Special Features:
- Why have we waited so long?OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/30/2014My husband and I dined at 1515 Restaurant last Saturday evening. My question is, "Why have we waited so long?". While initially the service was a little slow, our waiter picked up the pace and provided excellent service. We enjoyed three outstanding courses. It was evident that nothing but the freshest of ingredients were used to prepare our meal. We can't quit talking about our experience and can't wait to go back!
- Had hoped for a better experienceRaisin226VIPDined on 8/29/2014My husband and I were visiting friends in the Denver area and decided to try this restaurant. We read the reviews before booking. Because it was a Friday night on a holiday weekend, we made a reservation. The earliest OpenTable reservation available was 8:45pm but when we arrived almost half the restaurant had tables available which annoyed the guys. It was restaurant week and two of our party took advantage of the specials offered. The regular menu had only three items that were the same as the one on line and did not really appeal to my palate so that was a little disappointing. Staff was attentive and informative. Towards the end of the meal, the music from the disco became very loud (we were on the 2nd floor).Special Features:
- Almost thereCPdinerVIPDined on 8/29/20141515 wants to be the place to go if you're craving "Top Chef" food. Their menu is great, their flavor profiles are great, but we noticed a few miss- steps in preparation. We attended during restaurant week, so maybe items were pre-prepared, but here's a list of problems. Bread, slightly doughy. Amuse, very tasty, looked a little dried out on the edges. App, cauliflower velouté , not hot enough. Entree, cod over-cooked, sous vide beef, underdone. Dessert, delicious, creamy Creme Brulee with a soggy top rather than made-to-order flamed crust. We will try again, as all food tasted great, just need attention to details to make this a top-notch dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous meal!PCcatDined on 8/29/2014We went with friends during Denver Restaurant Week and had a fabulous meal. I think this is one of the best restaurants in Denver. The dining room upstairs had soft ambient lighting with exposed brick walls, modern, yet comfortable.Food was very innovative and delicious. Each course had an unusual combination of complex flavors. Loved the crabcake appetizer and the main course Kurobuta pork melted in my mouth, best pork I've had. Wines on the wine pairing menu blended well with each course The owner stopped by several times and even helped serve some of the courses. Waiter was very helpful, friendly and efficient, but not obtrusive. Also, complimentary parking in the adjacent covered garage was an added bonus. Will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good ambiancehawkeye84Dined on 8/29/2014Good feel and neighborhood is prime spot. Parking can be a pain but is tolerable. Manager came to table to make sure everything is ok. Food is delicious and the pork was very good and the fat kept it most and more flavorful. Will be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect Date NightRebishop6Dined on 8/29/2014My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of eating here last week for the Denver Restaurant Week and had an amazing time! The service was impeccable and the food was to to-die-for! Every dish was more impressive and delicious than the last, and I highly recommend doing the wine pairing. Hope to definitely go back again soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best 5280OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/28/2014This is one of the best restaurant week menu we try so far, we try the NY steak and the Alaskan cod, everything was amazing, creme Brulle, one of the best in town and service just perfect timing with food and drinks, thank you 1515 for a great experience.Special Features:
- DeliciousLisaMDined on 8/28/2014The crab cakes, cauliflower soup, New York strip and creme brulee were all amazing. The owner, Gene, circulates the rooms talking to each customer to ensure satisfaction.Special Features:
- dining outDelightedDinerDined on 8/27/2014Innovative menu items, lovely presentation, Excellent, flavorful food. Comfortable ambience. Service was a little disappointing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food Poor ServiceKikiDined on 8/27/2014Myself and two friends dined at 1515 on a Wednesday during restaurant week. While the food was delicious the service was abysmal. The amuse bouche didn't come out for 45 mins and it continued from there. We opted to do the wine pairing and were not told what the wines were when they were finally brought. We had to ask for them at every course. I understand a restaurant being busy but instead of just apologizing our waitress chose to point out the obvious that they were busy.Special Features:
- Fairly Decent ExperiencetarragonDined on 8/27/2014First of all, our service was amazing but the ambiance and food quality was lacking. I'm not sure if there was a sorority function at this restaurant but I, along with my two other male friends, sat in the backroom that contained 20 or so other identical looking college-aged girls that were less than pleasant to the same server that I loved. They were downright rude, at least the group of four girls sitting next to us, to everyone around them so their presence definitely dampened the evening. Though my friends seemed to enjoy their food, mine left much to be desired. We ordered out of the restaurant week menu. I had the soup which had a beautiful presentation but no taste. For mains, I had the pork and the cut I received was almost all fat.Special Features:
- Disappointed..ToughCustomerDined on 8/27/2014Have been here multiple times before and it was always great. This time it was weak, at best. Our server was terrific and did all she could to make it an nice evening but the restaurant week menu was bland in general. Steak was tough, pork had no seasoning, soup was awful! Had to request salt and pepper. Crabcakes were okay and the dessserts were good. Bartender screwed up basic drinks 3 tiimes! YIKES! Don't know what happened. Never asked for a mgr before but did this time! Too bad. We used to love this restaurant. Maybe we'll check back in a year...
- DeliciousstevekDined on 8/26/2014The food, service and ambiance were all outstanding. The proprietor, Gene Tang, helped assure that the evening was memorable for my wife and me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- As close to perfection as possibleOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/26/2014Our evening at 1515 was beyond expectation. The imaginative chef delivers! From the imaginative appetizer to the amazing dessert, it was an extraordinary dining experience. I hope you will try this place, one of Denver's finest.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/26/2014This was our second time at 1515 and once again the food was amazing. My husband and I both took advantage of the restaurant week menu. My cod was perfectly cooked and my husband loved his pork. The other two courses were excellent as well. There was a small mix-up with our bill which is the only reason I'm not giving 5 stars.Special Features:
- Just fine for fine diningguitarchicaDined on 8/26/2014I went here for restaurant week and was satisfied with the overall experience, but not blown away. I probably won't revisit the restaurant. The ambiance was comfortable and I liked the location of the restaurant, and that the dining room was upstairs. The food was fine. I didn't find anything especially exceptional about it. The two highlights of my experience were the creme brûlée dessert (delicious!), and the service. The wait staff was very attentive, but not intrusive.Special Features:
- RJeanDined on 8/26/2014We came for Restaurant Week. It was our first visit, and it was just fabulous. The service was outstanding. All the items we chose for dinner were presented perfectly, and were just great. From the fresh bread, to the salad, crab cakes, New York Strip, Atlantic Cod and dessert (the Smore was to die for if you love dark chocolate), we really enjoyed it all. I would certainly return, especially to celebrate a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Dining FantancyEatDrinkEnjoyDined on 8/26/2014Very chic contemporary ambience with décor perfect for a "loft" feel. Service was outstanding. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu choices, both in preparation and presentation. I would highly recommend the wine pairing options as the pairings blend perfectly with the meal courses and enhance each course. The owner visited our table a couple of times to assure that we were completely satisfied and to offer tidbits of information about our menu selections. It is readily apparent he truly cares about his guests having a memorable dining experience. This is somewhat pricy dining, but in this case, you really get more than you pay for, considering the fact that dining here is an exceptionally pleasurable experience.Special Features:
- Great, Innovative FoodMarisaDined on 8/26/2014I went to 1515 for Restaurant Week which made the slightly expensive menu reasonable to try many things. The food was plated beautifully and tasted delicious. The cauliflower veloute was so delicious. I also ordered the braised pork, accompanied by the truffle polenta was great! The duo of creme brulees was disappointing, though. Both were served lukewarm and the coffee creme brulee was overly liquidy. Overall, I'd return to 1515 and thought the food was great!Special Features:
- Very Happykimberly868Dined on 8/24/2014Have tried many new restaurants (to us) with many dissapointments. This was not one of them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food Decent but Service Not so muchPatrickDined on 8/23/2014We showed up and it took nearly 20 minutes before we were greeted by our server yet we were seating right in the middle of the main pathway AND other guests who came after us were welcomed and served promptly.Special Features:
- AMAZINGaaaaDined on 8/23/2014They call themselves a molecular gastronomy restaurant and they live up to that. Absolutely amazing food, incredible service, and an overall wonderful experience.Special Features:
- 1515 restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014Food was good, service was excellent! My husband said steak was good, salad was also very tasty!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just perfectOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/20/2014Great food, amazing elk steak, wagyu beef and wine list with some uniques cocktails. A place to try in lodo.
- Amazing steakOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/2/2014From the moment we arrive until we left everything was top notch, great service, unique craft cocktail, campfire whiskey, ipad wine list, and special the food, wagyu beef appetizer, that was cooked on the table by our server, and also we try the pork three ways and the elk. We finished our dinner with the crema brûlée. We cant wait to try more dishes at 1515. Great experience in general, a great restaurant to try.Special Features:
- Great Meal and ServiceFoodGeekDined on 8/2/2014We had a great meal, everything even the bar service has "in season" items. The service was wonderful, very attentive. In short, we could not have asked for more.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- gastro wonderfulbluebirdDined on 7/5/2014from the chef's tasting of a small bite of all things white (mushroom, coconut, potato, rice, chocolate), it was a taste experience. Definitely recommended, although the price range was a bit higher than advertised because they had just totally redone the menuSpecial Features:
- Delicious for DinnerslimDined on 7/3/2014I booked my reservation on July 3 and there was no one at the restaurant. At first, I wondered how the food was going to be since no one was there but realized after the appetizer that most people were probably trying to watch the fireworks somewhere. The food was delicious and there were many unique and interesting choices to try. Very romantic seating upstairs for a special occasion or just for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingFoodbugDined on 7/1/2014This is one of the best meals I have ever had. The quality of the food, especially the meat, was exceptional. The flavor combinations were unique and delicious. I was actually sad to finish each course because it was over! I can't wait to go back. The owner and staff were incredibly helpful and friendly as well. An over all great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently Great RestaurantcagerVIPDined on 7/1/20141515 over the years is in my judgement one of the best restaurants in Denver. This restaurant is located on the second floor above the 1515 Bar. The menus choices are extensive and change fom time to time. The food preparation is excellent. The wine list is extensive and priced very reasonably considering what other Denver restaurants charge. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's a 5 star restaurant at a very affordable price. We celebrated our 37th anniversary at 1515 and we could not have been happier about our choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
