The information contained in this document is required by federal law to be given out annually to students.
● The vast majority of Loyola students who consume alcohol drink responsibly, with over 11% of Loyola students choosing not to drink at all. 85% of students drink two times per week or less and over 48% of students drink one time per week or less. Most students who drink engage in safe drinking practices such as pacing their drinks to maintain a low BAC (blood alcohol concentration).
● Loyola University, through its Department of Alcohol and Drug Education and Support Services (ADESS), conducts alcohol and other drug abuse prevention education programs, developed and presented with involvement of peer educators. ADESS provides confidential intervention, support, education, and referral services for students with, or at risk to develop, alcohol or other drug (AOD) problems, including individual and group counseling and an on-campus state-certified Outpatient Treatment Program. Substance free housing is available through the Office of Student Life.
Help is also available to students experiencing difficulty due to the AOD use of someone close to them, including a roommate, significant other, or parent, in the latter case often called "Adult Children of Alcoholics" (ACOAs). ADESS offers weekly, confidential support groups for student with parents or other loved ones with alcohol or drug problems. There are twelve step meetings on, and close by, campus, (e.g., Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Al-Anon). ADESS has a solid core of Loyola students and recent graduates in recovery to act as contacts to aid a student new to recovery. ADESS also offers weekly confidential support groups for students in recovery or who for any reason have chosen to not use drugs or alcohol.
● Loyola University's policies and regulations, consistent with federal, state and local laws, prohibit unlawful possession, use, or distribution of AOD on its property or as part of its activities. Involvement in the sale, or issuance of a false ID is a violation of Maryland law. Fraudulently altering or using a driver's license to obtain alcoholic beverages can result in loss or suspension of the license. A person under 21 years of age driving or attempting to drive a motor vehicle may, under Maryland law, be fined up to $500 and have his/her driver's license suspended if found to have a blood alcohol level of .02. This level can result from as little as one beer or glass of wine.
● Students under the age of 21 may not lawfully purchase, or consume alcoholic beverages, and face consequences for doing so which, in addition to mandatory attendance of education classes, or evaluation to identify potential problem use, include suspension from residence halls, or suspension or expulsion from the University, with completion of substance dependence treatment a condition for return to the University, if appropriate. Students illegally using a drug(s) other than alcohol also face consequences that include suspension, with mandatory random drug tests, suspension and expulsion, with treatment as a condition for return, as appropriate.
● Material in this document is not intended to be, and is not, a comprehensive statement of applicable laws. Students are subject to all applicable local, state, and federal laws regarding alcohol and other drugs, and are not exempt from enforcement of these laws by virtue of their status as Loyola students or their presence on Loyola University property. Concerned individuals should consult state or federal prosecutors or their own attorneys for legal advice or clarification of legal matters.
This Department is staffed by a full time Director, Jan Edward Williams, MS, JD, LCADC; a part time educator and counselor, Cindy Parcover, MS, LCPC; a full time educator and counselor, Zachary Hitchens, MS, NCC; and an Administrative Assistant Danielle Avent. Department offices are located in Seton Hall 02B next to the Health Center on the west side of campus. Call 410-617-2928 for information or for a confidential individual session with Jan Edward Williams to discuss any of the information in this document, or visit our Web Site: http://www.loyola.edu/campuslife/healthservices/adess/index.html, which provides information about alcoholism and related problems and ADESS services. ADESS services are free to Loyola undergraduate and graduate students.
The following points deserve special emphasis:
1. Severe consequences can result from the use and abuse of alcohol and other psychoactive substances, without the development of alcoholism or other drug dependence.
2. Alcohol or other drug dependence can and does develop rapidly in teenagers and young adults.
3. Although addictive disease can develop in almost any chronic user of psychoactive substances, persons from families with a history of alcoholism, especially in parents or grandparents, are at a greater risk to develop alcohol problems themselves. Surveys of incoming Loyola students and their parents show that forty percent reported alcohol or other drug problems in blood relatives. Students with such a family history tend also to be at risk to develop other problems, including eating disorders and difficulties in intimate relationships.
5. Use of any non-physician prescribed medications, especially pain killers such as OxyContin, can result in addiction and carries dangers of overdose.
6. A number of college students in the United States dies each year from excessive alcohol use. Drinking too much alcohol too fast can kill you. Mixing alcohol and other drugs, whether prescribed, over the counter medications, or street drugs, can also be deadly. If you encounter a person who is passed out, or unconscious and cannot be easily aroused, or appears to have trouble breathing, it can be a fatal decision to put the person to bed, unattended, "to sleep it off." The safest action is to call for help. Call Campus Police x5911 and 911.
Alcohol, a drug, is a central nervous system depressant. With moderate drinking a person may experience flushing, dizziness, dulling of senses, and impairment of coordination, reflexes, memory and judgment. Taken in larger quantities, death may occur due to depression of the parts of the brain that control breathing and heart rate. Drinkers who also smoke are more at risk for developing certain cancers. Pregnant women who drink risk fetal alcohol syndrome in the newborn. It is important to read labels of over-the-counter medications for cautions about the use of alcohol while on a particular medication.
College students who drink to get drunk are at significant risk while drinking for personal injury, acquaintance rape, and unplanned, unprotected sexual activity which could result in pregnancy and exposure to sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including the AIDS virus, and genital human papillomavirus (HPV), Chlamydia, and genital
The dangers of drinking and driving cannot be overemphasized. Data suggest that despite widespread knowledge of these dangers, a significant number of students continue to drive under the influence of alcohol.
For a listing of possible effects, effects of overdose, withdrawal signs and symptoms, and potential for dependence of substances regulated under the Federal Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 811), refer to Table 1, attached to this document.
Prescription Pain Relievers (codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, etc.)
Whether Swallowed, Snorted, Smoked, or Injected, these Drugs Are Highly Addictive, Pose Serious Overdose
Dangers, and Their Unlawful Use Can Result in Serious Criminal Penalties.
The drugs referred to include: Opium/morphine/codeine; Oxycodone (trade names include Percodan, Percocet and OxyContin); Hydromorphone (Pallodone, Dilaudid); Hydrocodone (Vicodin, Lortab); Meperidine (Demerol); Fentanyl; Methadone; and Buprenorphine. Use or possession of these drugs by anyone not the holder of a lawful prescription is a crime subjecting the offender to serious criminal penalties including imprisonment. Unlawful (no valid prescription) possession and use of these drugs by a Loyola University student will constitute grounds for suspension or expulsion from the University. Abuse of these opiate drugs has increased in recent years on college campuses, especially by snorting or smoking of the drugs rather than by intravenous use. Users believe, erroneously, that avoidance of dangers associated with I.V. use, such as HIV and hepatitis disease, by snorting or smoking the drugs, reduces the dangers of physical dependence, addiction, and overdose. That belief is dangerously incorrect.
Dangers Associated with Non-Prescribed Use of Pain Relievers
Let's use oxycodone as an example. Like other narcotic medications, oxycodone can impair mental and physical abilities, and is a central nervous system depressant. Side effects include breathing irregularity or respiratory depression, headaches, nausea, dizziness, seizures, low blood pressure, and heart failure. Overdose death is possible due to cardiac arrest or slowed breathing, especially when ingesting or snorting crushed pain relievers.
Addiction and Physical Dependence
Addiction basically means a pattern of use of a drug despite adverse consequences. What is important is not necessarily how often the addict uses, but what happens when he/she does use. The addict may not be physically dependent on the opiate in order to have an addiction. Addiction is characterized by behaviors that include one or more of the following: impaired control over drug use (loss of control), compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving. Physical Dependence is a state of adaptation that is manifested by a drug class specific withdrawal syndrome that can be produced by abrupt cessation, rapid dose reduction, or decreasing blood level of the drug. Any individual that takes an opiate, regardless of the reason, will, after use every four hours or so, over a week to 10 days (or less), become physically dependent on the drug and go into withdrawal upon abruptly stopping use.
The short term withdrawal, as unpleasant as it may be, is the easy part of addiction recovery. Recovery from opiate addiction is possible, but is difficult. The opiate addict needs comprehensive treatment and support in order to put together a long term recovery. Treatment often includes completion of a residential treatment program or of an intensive outpatient treatment program, and regular, preferably daily, attendance of Twelve Step meetings such as Narcotics Anonymous. Any Loyola University student with concerns about drug addiction may call Jan Williams, Director of Loyola University's Alcohol and Drug Education and Support Services, to schedule a confidential appointment: 410-617-2928.
Club Drugs
Rohypnol, GHB, and Ecstasy ("Molly"), described below, are "club drugs" found at dance parties, "raves", "trances", dance clubs, and bars. Rohypnol and GHB are also reported to have been used in sexual assaults on college campuses in the United States, primarily in combination with alcohol. News stories have been published of unsuspecting use by women followed by rape and inability by the victim to clearly identify the perpetrator. Students should exercise caution in drinking situations. Here are some ways to try to protect oneself:
● Do not go to parties alone; there is safety in numbers.
● Do not accept a mixed drink, or opened container; watch your drink being mixed.
● Don't share or exchange drinks with others.
● Don't leave your drink unattended.
● If you feel disoriented, out-of-control, or not able to care for yourself, or make decisions, ask for help from a trustworthy person.
Prescription Stimulant Abuse
Students sometimes use non-prescribed (i.e., not prescribed for them) stimulants such as Adderall, Concerta, or Ritalin to cram for tests or do an "all-nighter" to write a paper. Use of these non-prescribed stimulants is dangerous, unlawful, associated with other harmful behaviors, and does not result in academic success.
1) Nonmedical prescription stimulant users typically have lower grade point averages than non-users, suggesting that academically successful students are not likely to use prescription stimulants nonmedically.
2) Nonmedical prescription stimulant users are more likely than other students to be heavy drinkers and users of other illicit drugs.
3) Use of someone else's prescription drug can result in serious criminal penalties, including suspension or expulsion from the University. Abuse of these stimulants can cause serious cardiovascular, central nervous system, and other medical problems. Taking stimulants without a doctor's prescription can cause dangerous side effects in individuals with heart disease, high blood pressure, overactive thyroid, anxiety, mental illness, and other medical conditions.
Marijuana (tetrahydrocannabinol)
Marijuana has the reputation among many as a "no big deal" drug; "It's just pot." There are a number of points to consider in making a decision to use marijuana or not. The obvious point to be made first is that purchase and possession of this illegal substance (regardless of whether one agrees with this legal policy or not), is dangerous in terms of circumstances of purchase on the street, can result in criminal charges, and, of course, can result in serious disciplinary consequences at Loyola College, including suspension from the college.
The effects of chronic use of marijuana are not as obviously devastating as those associated with other "harder" drugs. Indeed, the fact that the effects are not as dramatic tends to play into the denial that this drug is addictive and dangerous. Marijuana is not a benign drug. The disruption of short term memory from use of marijuana is well established. There can also be serious effects on motivation, drive, and focus that often do not become apparent until too late, after the person stops using the drug. For some, marijuana use results in addiction, meaning use of the drug adversely affects significant areas of the user's life: academics, relationships, legally, and at times medically (for example use while on an anti- depressant medication). For some, use of the drug can trigger, or be associated with, development of mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. Finally, and not usually considered by traditional college age students, a pattern of marijuana use, say, one to two times a week, even if not resulting in addiction or adverse effects, can pose serious obstacles to employment where in depth background checks are done (for example, for security clearance reasons). Investigators will interview college friends and acquaintances. A pattern of marijuana use may result in denial of employment. So, marijuana use IS a big deal!
Miscellaneous Drugs
These drugs are not sold through legitimate channels. As with all drugs purchased on the "street" or over the internet, one must be aware of the dangers of using an unknown, unregulated substance.
● Synthetic stimulants ("bath salts") are designer drugs that were made illegal to possess in the U.S. by the Drug Enforcement Administration in October 2011; have effects similar to other drugs such as MDMA, LSD, and amphetamines; effects include agitation, insomnia, irritability, dizziness, depression, paranoia, delusions, suicidal thoughts, seizures, panic attacks. impaired perception of reality, reduced motor control, and decreased ability to think clearly; rapid heart rate, chest pains, nosebleeds, sweating, nausea, and vomiting. Possession of these these drugs can result in suspension or expulsion from the University.
● K2 or Spice ("fake weed")
A mixture of herbs and spices that is typically sprayed with a synthetic compound chemically similar to THC, the psychoactive ingredients in marijuana; made illegal by the Drug Enforcement Administration in March 2011. Effects are similar to marijuana and can include paranoia, anxiety, increased heart rate and blood pressure. Possession of these drugs can result in suspension or expulsion from the University.
Loyola University's policies and regulations, consistent with federal, state and local law and regulations, prohibit the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcoholic beverages by students on its property or as part of its activities. Use of illicit drugs by a student is grounds for severe sanctions, including suspension, mandatory random drug testing, or expulsion, and may result in referral to authorities for prosecution. Use of alcohol by any student under age of 21 years is prohibited and may provide grounds for sanctions that may include referral for alcohol and drug education, and other action up to expulsion. Similarly, students whose behaviors involve charges of other violations of College regulations, including the Student Code of Conduct, and indicate problematic use of alcohol or other drugs, may be referred to the Alcohol and Drug Program professional staff for assessment as to the presence of alcohol or drug dependence and referral for education and/or treatment on or off campus, as appropriate. Completion of referral recommendations may be included as part of the sanctions for these violations.
The possession, use or distribution of drugs, drug paraphernalia, or alcohol by Loyola University students on campus or at any university sponsored or related activity is subject to applicable federal, state and local laws. Criminal sanctions for illegal drug and alcohol activity are severe. Loyola University students are not exempt from these laws by virtue of their status as students or their presence on Loyola University property.
The following information is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended to describe fully all of the pertinent laws regarding drug or alcohol offenses.
Federal law prohibits generally the manufacture, distribution, or dispensing of a controlled dangerous substance and, under certain circumstances, of a counterfeit substance. It is also a crime to possess a controlled dangerous substance with the intent to manufacture, distribute or dispense the substance. Conviction for one of these "distribution offenses" is punishable by a prison sentence, the length of which depends on the type and amount of the drug involved. In addition to the prison sentence the penalty may also include a fine. For example, for an offense involving five kilograms or more of cocaine, 10 grams or more of LSD, or 1000 kilograms or more of marijuana, a prison sentence of not less than 10 years will be imposed. A prison term of not less than five years will be imposed for offenses involving 500 grams or more of cocaine, one gram or more of LSD or 100 kilograms or more of marijuana.
Federal law also provides stiff penalties for "simple" possession. For a first conviction for possession of a controlled substance, the law provides for up to one year imprisonment and mandates a fine of at least $1000. With each drug conviction, the penalties increase. Further, federal law states that a first conviction for any federal or state drug possession offense may disqualify the offender from receiving any federal benefits (including, for example, student loans) for up to one year.
Maryland law states that an individual convicted of the manufacture, distribution, dispensing, or possession of certain controlled dangerous substance with an intent to do any of the foregoing is subject to imprisonment for up to 20 years, or a fine of up to $25,000, or both. As with federal law, the penalty varies depending on the drug types and amount and the Maryland statute provides for increasingly stiff penalties with each drug offense conviction. Repeat offenders are subject to a mandatory prison sentence of at least two years. A felony conviction for bringing into Maryland certain illegal drugs can carry a prison sentence of up to 25 years and a fine of up to $50,000. Conviction of possession of controlled substances also carries penalties. For example, if convicted of possession of marijuana, an individual faces a prison sentence of up to one year and/or a fine of up to $1,000, and for the possession of other controlled dangerous substances, a prison term of up to four years and/or a fine of up to $25,000. In general, under Maryland law it is unlawful for any person under 21 years of age to possess alcoholic beverages or for any person to misrepresent his or her age or the age of another to obtain alcoholic beverages. It is also unlawful for a person to furnish alcoholic beverages to another if he or she knows the recipient of the beverage is under 21 years old. Any person over 18 violating these sections of the law may be fined up to $500 for a first offense and $1000 for a second offense.
This description is only a brief summary of some of the sanctions under federal and state drug and alcohol offense statutes. It does not identify all sanctions; for example, there are statutes which provide for enhanced penalties for the manufacture or distribution of drugs in or near schools or colleges, and statutes which result in property forfeiture. Concerned individuals should consult state or federal prosecutors or their own attorneys for further information.
Loyola University's regulations, set forth in detail in the Loyola University Community Standards 2013-2014 and summarized here, prohibit unlawful possession, use, or distribution of drugs, drug paraphernalia and alcoholic beverages, and provide for prompt imposition of consequences for violative behaviors, upon completion of prescribed procedures that include opportunity for hearing and appeal. The possible sanctions include, but are not limited to, suspension or expulsion, and may result in referral to authorities for prosecution in the case of conduct in violation of Federal, State, or local law. The basic principle underlying these regulations is that each student is responsible for his or her behavior and its consequences, intended or unintended, in violation of prescribed rules of conduct. When available information suggests the behavior to be related to dependence on alcohol or other drugs, the student involved may be provided an opportunity for appropriate treatment interventions as a part of or in addition to other sanctions.
Illicit Drugs and Paraphernalia
It is a violation of University regulations for a student to unlawfully use, possess (including non-prescribed medications), administer to another, or to manufacture, distribute, or dispense any controlled dangerous substance or drug paraphernalia. Controlled dangerous substances include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following classes of psychoactive substances: amphetamine, cannabis (marijuana, THC), cocaine, hallucinogens, opiates codeine, morphine, heroin, methadone, and buprenorphine), phencyclidine (PCP), and sedatives, hypnotics and anxiolytics. Paraphernalia include: hypodermic syringes, gelatin capsules, substances used to cut drugs (for example, quinine), testing equipment, mixing devices, scales, pipes, roach clips, cocaine spoons, bongs.
Alcoholic Beverages
The University s prohibitions and sanctions relative to alcoholic beverages are set forth in detail in the Loyola University Community Standards 2013-2014. Violations carry penalties ranging from fines, parental and academic adviser notification, suspension from housing, suspension or expulsion from the College, to referral to State or local authorities. For any misuse or abuse of alcohol, the University reserves the right to mandate that a student attend alcohol education classes and/or receive an assessment by the University's Alcohol and Drug Education and Support Services Director and follow that individual's educational and/or treatment recommendations.

Something Wild is a 1961 independent drama film directed by Jack Garfein and starring Carroll Baker, Ralph Meeker and Mildred Dunnock. The film follows a young New York City college student (Baker) who, after being brutally raped, is taken in and held captive by a mechanic (Meeker) who witnessed her suicide attempt on the Manhattan Bridge.
Adapted from the novel Mary Ann by Alex Karmel, the film violated a number of Hollywood conventions and taboos by showing an on-screen rape and brief nudity. The film featured a musical score by Aaron Copland and was filmed on location in New York City, which was rare at the time. Director Jack Garfein was married to Carroll Baker when the movie was filmed. The director of photography, Eugen Schüfftan, was a noted German cinematographer and inventor of the Schüfftan process, who won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography the following year for The Hustler.
Referred to as "a lost indie classic", the film was screened at the IFC Center in New York in 2007, and was released on DVD by MGM through their limited edition series in December 2011 in celebration of the film's 50th anniversary.
Plot summary[edit]
Mary Ann Robinson, a teenage girl attending college in New York City, is brutally raped while walking in a park.
Traumatized by the experience, Mary Ann washes away all the evidence and destroys her clothing. She hides the rape from her mother and stepfather, with whom she has a distant relationship.
Mary Ann tries to continue living her normal life, unsuccessfully. She takes the subway to school and faints during the crush of people. That results in the police taking her home, which upsets her prim and unsympathetic mother, played by Mildred Dunnock.
The rape continues to haunt Mary Ann. She leaves school abruptly and walks downtown, through Harlem and Times Square, down to the Lower East Side. She rents a room from a sinister landlord (Martin Kosleck), who overcharges her.
She takes a job at a five-and-dime store and her coworkers dislike her because she is distant and unfriendly. Her crude, promiscuous neighbor at the rooming house (Jean Stapleton) is rebuffed when she offers to "introduce" Mary to her male friends.
At the end of her tether, Mary Ann walks across the Manhattan Bridge and almost jumps in the East River when she is stopped by a mechanic, Mike (Ralph Meeker). At first he seems to be a knight in shining armor. She decides to stay with him. But that night he comes home drunk, tries to attack her, and Mary Ann kicks him in the eye. The following morning he has no recollection of that, but his eye is badly hurt and has to be removed.
Mike now says that he wants Mary Ann to stay there, saying "I like the way you look here." She wants to leave but he refuses to let her go. He holds her captive in the apartment for months, even though she refuses to have anything to do with him.
One night Mike proposes to Mary Ann and when she rejects him, again tries to approach her. Mary Ann reveals to Mike that it was she who blinded him in one eye. Mike still insists he needs her. Soon Mary Ann finds that Mike has left the door unlocked and leaves, walking through the city and sleeping in Central Park. Her mood greatly improves, and she sees how wonderful life is. She returns to the apartment and decides to stay with Mike. She marries him, becomes pregnant, and convinces her mother that she is not returning home.

The score for the 1961 film was by the distinguished American composer Aaron Copland, who in 1964 re-used some of its themes in his symphonic work "Music For a Great City." The original film score, taken from private session recordings preserved by the director, was released on CD in 2003.
Originally, Morton Feldman was commissioned to compose the score for the film, but when the director heard the music, he promptly withdrew his commission, opting to enlist Aaron Copland instead. The reaction of the baffled director was said to be, "My wife is being raped and you write celesta music?"[1]
The opening title sequence was an early live action title sequence created by Saul Bass.
Critical reception[edit]
The movie received an uneven critical response. Jonas Mekas wrote in Film Quarterly that the film was the "most interesting American film of the quarter; it may become the most underestimated film of the year."
However, New York Times critic Bosley Crowther said that it was "quite exhausting to sit through that ordeal in the apartment." and that "it is not too satisfying, because it isn't quite credible and the symbolic meaning (if there is one) is beyond our grasp."
The movie was not a commercial success, and was Jack Garfein's final project as a movie director.
The film was shown at New York's IFC Center in early 2007, billed as a "lost indie film classic." It was released on DVD as part of the MGM Limited Edition Collection in December 2011.

Syracuse bans two players from bowl game
Syracuse, NY, United States (4E Sports) – Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone has banned sophomore running back Adonis Ameen-Moore and junior tight end Max Beaulieu from the New Era Pinstripe Bowl for violations of athletic department rules.
In a statement, Marrone said that discipline stems from violations of athletic department rules, which he did not specify.
The co-Big East champions Orange (7-5) tackle West Virginia (7-5) Saturday in the bowl game that will be played at Yankee Stadium.
Ameen-Moore rushed 30 times for 108 yards and five touchdowns in six games for the Orange this season while Beaulieu played in just one game this season, against Connecticut.
The 5-foot-11, 229-pound Ameen-Moore had a career-best 57 yards rushing and a touchdown on 10 carries in the regular-season finale at Temple.
Beaulieu came to SU as a defensive end in 2010. He moved to tight end prior to the 2011 season. The 6-2, 239-pound receiver has seen action in just one game this season, a home win over Connecticut.

City Bees Turning To Plastic Waste As Hive-building Material
February 11, 2014 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
GUELPH, Ontario (UPI) — At least two urban bee species have turned to their city environment for nest-building materials, using plastic waste to build hives, Canadian scientists say.
A study at Ontario's University of Guelph, reported in the journal Ecosphere, reveals some bees are using bits of plastic bags and plastic building materials to construct their nests.
The finding is significant because it shows bees' resourcefulness and flexibility in adapting to a human-dominated world, lead study author Scott MacIvor said.
"Plastic waste pervades the global landscape," he said.
Although much research has been done on adverse impacts of the material on species and the ecosystem, few scientists have observed insects adapting to a plastic-rich environment, he said.
"We found two solitary bee species using plastic in place of natural nest building materials, which suggests innovative use of common urban materials."
One species, Megachile campanulae, was found to occasionally be replacing plant resins — its normal hive construction material — with polyurethane-based exterior building sealant, such as caulking, in its brood cells where larva are reared, the university reported Tuesday.
Another, Megachile rotundata, an alfalfa leafcutter, was using pieces of polyethylene-based plastic bags to construct its brood cells, the researchers said.
In both cases, the researchers said, larvae successfully developed in the plastic-lined nests. In fact, the bees emerged parasite-free, suggesting plastic nests may be a physical barrier to parasites, they said.
"The novel use of plastics in the nests of bees could reflect the ecologically adaptive traits necessary for survival in an increasingly human-dominated environment," MacIvor said.

Alin Mang Lahi
Kundiman composed by José Rizal
Alin mang lahi, insinasanggalang
Sa lupit ang kanyang lupang tinubuan
Tuloy pinaghahandugan
Ng buhay at dugo kung kailangan
Ang kamatayan man, kung saka-sakali
Igiginhawa ng mga kalahi
Tatanggapin ng may ngiti
Kasaliw ang tuwang di mumunti
Nguni't pagkasawing-plad yata
Ng katagalugang napapanganyayaI
bukod pa sa ibang umaaba
Lalong nagbibigay hapis ang ibang
Sabagay di kulang sa pupuhunanin
Lakas, dunong, tapang, yaman ay
Aywan kung bakit at inaalipin
Ng bawa't lahing makasuno natin
Not many Filipinos know that Rizal composed kundimans. One was "Alin Mang Lahi", which was first introduced to the publc by Antonio Molina for coloratura soprano with piano and orchestra accompaniment. The version used here was sung by Conching Rosal.
Rizal composed the kundiman, "La Deportacion" during his exile in Dapitan. A third, simply titled "Kundiman" , was supposedly used during his trial as evidence that Rizal was fomenting revolution through the song. Since Rizal did not deny his authorship, it was believed that he did compose the music and write the lyrics.
Even at that time, Rizal had pointed out that the enemy is also from within.

Has anyone been to "red egg" in chinatown
Peruvian Chinese sounds interesting...
Gayot review seems to indicate that it's dual cuisine as opposed to a fusion. There are Chinese Peruvian restaurants in Los Angeles (not that improbable of a combination as there was once a good sized Chinese population in Peru, many of whom have since moved on to the U.S.) that serve mostly Peruvian food and a few Chinese dishes with a Peruvian twist. I'm not sure if Red Egg is out of that mold.
Chandavkl appears to be right:
One of these days I'll get down there and confirm, but at first glance it looks to be a gussied-up version of a chifa.
re: D...DF
The Peruvian angle -- while played up in the pre-opening press -- is seriously downplayed on the actual menu. There are only around 5-6 offerings on an otherwise extensive (mostly dim sum and small-plates) menu.
I went for lunch on Sunday and the whole thing feels rather incongruous. A semi high-end space, but pedestrian cooking. I wanted to like it! Perhaps it was in our ordering, but none of the staff seemed able or interested in helping us ferret out the signature dishes. We had duck with turnip cake, lettuce wraps, a couple of orders of dim sum dumplings and garlic spare ribs. Everything was very very heavy. I think the closest comparison I can think of for this place is Dim Sum Go Go, and I find their cooking to be much more flavorful than Red Egg's.
That said, I'll give it another chance. Maybe they just need some time to get going.
I went there to get a copy of the menu. I didn't eat there because I didn't find anything on the menu that was appealing to me and I'm not into Fusion but more into Traditional dishes. $20 for 5 duck sliders kind of turned me off while they were selling in Flushing for .75 cents (hopefully better quality) and I think I was the first one here to link them to eating White Castle Burgers up on CH. It looked kind of empty and that wasn't a good sign too. I can't say its bad but the people I was with and I agreed to go with one of our "Tried and True" restaurants that night,
This restaurant's theme is not Chinese Peruvian. I actually think they are trying to be a non-traditional HK type of restaurant which I personally don't like unless I was there more for atmosphere than food.
re: bigjeff
How many in your group? Have not been to Red Egg yet. Yogee Restaurant on Chrystie Street should work. Bright and clean, like the Shanghai Cafe which could be another option.
re: scoopG
ended up going on saturday night and, just want to say it was an excellent meal, ordering the way we did and expecting exactly what it should be: dim for dinner.
I went with a group of 20 so we took the two round tables towards the back and joined them like an 8. we mostly ordered dim sum and also ordered a few dishes from both the chinese side (vastly outnumbering the other) and the peruvian. I'll break down the dimsum first, and then the dishes.
the dimsum was excellent. the evening selection was smaller than your average place but everything was above average. everything was steamed/fried/made to order so we had the siu mai, the beef balls, the spring rolls, the seasfood siu mai, veal chops with black pepper, steamed, taro cilantro dumpling (excellent), the plain cilantro dumpling, fried pork dumplings, roast pork bun (came steamed instead), crispy shrimp roll, red egg's shrimp dumpling (big crystal dumpling), dumpling with assorted seafood and soup dumplings. all of it was fresh made, delicious, fresh ingredients, big chunks of meat and seafood. all the steamed dim sum items were great and garnished with such fancy things as roe and shredded beats. everything was plump, juicy and so wet that even our chopsticks pierced some items, as they hadn't developed a "skin" from being carted around for an hour in a typical place. the shrimp dumplings were excellent, the taro dumpling was really nice (the filling had diced vegetables, maybe pork, small taro chunks, water chestnut, then steamed in a crystal dumpling wrapper that also tasted like it had taro flour in it; very nice. the fried items looked good, (the fried pork dumplings were 3 to an order but big fat juicy ones, perfectly fried (not too long, no crust, but still with a soft skin). the pork bun was not so good, and the soup dumplings, while tasty and juicy, had thick skin. tasty ski, but thick skin. the beef balls were somewhat bland, but good. the veal chop was very nice, two chops with at least 5 or 6 good bites.
we also ordered peking duck sliders (basically, a half peking duck served almost traditionally, with 5 gua-bao), aji de gallina which was shredded chicken mixed w/ potato and peppers and other ingredients, served inside a fried flour tortilla bowl (fancy), sauteed hollow vegetable (the typical, and very nice), popcorn tuna, which was unbreaded tuna chunks deep fried, and served over sweet-sour-type sauce, but fresh. this dish was actually pretty nice. someone also had the peking pork chop ( also typical, but very nice). the other thing was a tempting seafood curry bread bowl, but that would've been difficult to share on a lazy susan. the shredded chicken tasted like chicken pot pie but with a spice kick; not bad at all. the rest of the peking duck came out on a plate, just as if you had ordered it from a cantonese bbq takeout, and was actually quite nice, although the skin wasn't really crispy enough.
service was good natured but rough and true to the reviews, basically locals, no imports. hot sauces and other condiments had to be requested but never provided with utensils but comically, a scissor was presented on a tray by our server, who used it to cut the spring rolls and other things in half. but, they were very attentive, really nice with us and able to accomodate almost all our requests.
and actually, everything I just listed was only for one half of the party, as we had split the food orders between the two tables. they did a similar thing, but ordered more dishes off the menu, instead of the dim sum which we overloaded on. they ordered some whole fish dishes, fried rice, and some other items which I couldn't identify.
for dessert, we had a few orders of the ginger creme brulee and the coconut pudding; both were excellent and probably the most fusion dishes on the menu; the ginger creme brulee tasted like the finest do-hwa, but with some egg, while the coconut pudding (served in the shell of course) was simple, fresh and delicious.
we ended up paying $38 per person for high quality dim sum, a whole lotta beers, and a ton of food, I had done my research on this board and others and stuck to the game plan of loading up on the dim sum and I'd highly recommend the place for large groups. oh and in case anyone remembers, there was a big splashy cantonese seafood place that opened here a few years ago; this place took it over. and, decor, while shiny, was actually not excessively over the top and was perfect for our meal, occasion and group. and, there were other large groups seated as well; we had a 7pm reservation.
re: bigjeff
I like it a lot, for New York. The dim sum is cooked to order and is very fresh, with some of the best har gow I've had in a while, great wrapper, perfectly cooked shrimp. The steamed rice rolls also seem much fresher than most other places. I went with a group and we tried nearly all the dim sum, and I think it's better than most places in Chinatown, except for Dim Sum Go Go.
Unlike bigjeff, I don't find the service rough at all. Instead they are quite professional and friendly, much more so than most restaurants in Chinatown. I like the high design decor, a nice change from the standard dim sum hall, but I can imagine it wouldn't be to everyone's taste.
I went once for dinner and tried the Peking Pork Chop, which was tasty and well-cooked, with good quality meat, something along the lines of a good quality orange beef, but probably not something I'd order again.
re: Peter Cuce
well I didn't have a problem or anything with the service, but just echoing some of the reviews concerning the "discontinuity" between the space-odyssey-2001 decor and the lack of "imported" waitstaff; in fact I like very much that they kept it local. staff was relatively young and energetic, although the very nice shrimp sui mai was bought over by a much older gentleman (perhaps the young owner's peruvian-raised father, even). for sure, I will be headed there again for dim sum; actually I didn't see the steamed rice rolls, which we would have ordered the hell out of! maybe only on the day-time dim sum? actually, I'd like to compare the daytime with the evening, because there is a definite price difference ($2.75 vs $4, $3.50 vs $4.50, etc.)
re: prcentauri
I went to red egg recently and ordered most things off of the menu with a large group.
The earlier posters are right- there is very little peruvian influence, which is very disappointing. I thought the dim sum dishes were just ok, and the other dishes were mediocre to bad.
I would describe it as a dim sum place which is overpriced for the quality, and tries to get away with it by calling itself peruvian fusion (and being north of canal.)
I should've known to be wary of standard chinatown dim sum dressed up for a slightly different neighborhood. next time back to queens or sunset park...
I have tried dim sum on one occasion, and peruano on another. I have to admit it was relly underwhealming for the decor and presentation.. it was at best average.
I am surprised Red Egg doesn't get more play. Not only is the food good, but the half-off happy hour is one of the best deals in that part of the city.
Admittedly the space is kind of weird and the cocktail menu has yet to be finalized, but the dim sum, the real star of the show, was much better than other board favorites I've visited. The har gau were wrapped in a delicate, translucent dough that offered a bit of toothsome resistance without replicating the glutinous quality I frequently encounter. Siomai was equally satisfying. Transitioning from seafood to poultry with the chicken and scallop buns did not disappoint. Generously filled, they were a hearty pleasure, though I tasted more cilantro than scallop. Fried pork dumplings were equally plump and juxtaposed crunch and chew. Though fried, they had barely a hint of grease while still retaining all the flavor of a good fry. The meat dishes, however, are what will draw me back. The plump and juicy beef balls were 1 inch orbs of deliciousness. Short ribs were good, some of our party took to gnawing on the bones to get every last bit, but the lamb chops were flavorful enough to fill your dreams with mutton and hoisin for a week. At $3.50 for two (during happy hour), they were a steal and will have me coming back again and again.
re: JungMann
ya I've been recommending the place constantly since eating there (my review above); the happy hour is pretty awesome it seems; from when to when is it? next time, try their steamed dumpling stuff, esp. the taro-cilantro one.
re: bigjeff
Happy hour is 4-8 Monday thru Friday. I went for brunch this weekend and was thrilled with the dishes I got off their daytime menu, though our one Peruvian dish didn't really do it for me.
re: JungMann
Hi, We're in NYC off and on again for a month and I've been interested in Red Egg for a while. Do they still have the half price at happy hour? Are you still pleased with the food overall? It surely does sound great.
re: c oliver
yup, it's awesome...4-8pm weekdays...check it out
I was there last Saturday for dim sum and was impressed, especially given low expectations. The food is in general better than the large dim sum houses, with fresh ingredients and very well made, both fried and steamed. Of course, I can't vouch for the Peruvian menu.
We ordered a bunch of dishes from Red Egg:
chicarron de pollo served with salsa de aji -- light beer-battered; well fried, but it wasn't what I expected as it was beer-battered chicken breast with no evidence of skin; the salsa was really good
shanghai steamed pork buns -- doughy; on the bland side; lots of water chestnuts in the filling -- not totally sure if that went together
camarones con huactay -- OK; wouldn't order again
taro and cilantro dumplings -- good; freshly made and served piping hot
fresh fish with ginger and scallions -- good; had better renditions but we were happy
snow pea shoots -- good; not as much wok hai; sprinkled with browned garlic on top
ginger creme brulee -- never received it
We were looking forward to it after reading some of the reports here. And I was really happy to read about a restaurant that's trying to break the stereotype that all Chinatown restaurants are cheap dives. It's amazing how many people I meet who think that Chinese food has to be cheap and has to have rude service.
The decor was definitely a step up above most restaurants in Chinatown. And the service was pretty cordial. While the waitstaff didn't speak English perfectly, they were trying. I don't have a whole lot of experience with Peruvian food, so I can't really say whether the Peruvian items were well prepared or not. I can only give you my opinion of the two Peruvian dishes I ordered.
The fish I ordered was good, but with Red Egg's attempts of trying to be more "Western" with the service, they spent quite some time filetting the fish tableside so that by the time we received it, it lost the whole sizzle of the hot peanut oil over the ginger and scallion. I appreciate what they were trying to do, but I'd rather have my fish whole.
There was one thing that happened, though, that kind of pissed me off. I ordered one ginger creme brulee. They mistakenly brought out the white egg custard. So I told the waitstaff. A few minutes later they brought out what originally looked like creme brulee. I took a spoon to it, and the brulee part was so damn hot that it stuck to my spoon in one gloppy mess! I'm no pastry chef, but even I know that you need to let a brulee sit for a few minutes so you have the juxtaposition of the crispy top and the creamy custard. Well, I then took a bite. It wasn't ginger creme brulee but the white egg custard that we sent back earlier with a freakin brulee top! They couldn't be troubled to make a new dessert so they tried to put one over on us. That was inexcusable. I called the waiter over and told him what happened and told him I wanted this to be off the bill.
Sounds like their strengths may be in the dim sum. As I only had one dim sum item, I can't really say whether or not their dim sum is great. But after that dessert incident, I think I'll be spending the extra time going to Flushing for my dim sum.
re: Miss Needle
damn that is wack! about the dessert. as you read, the place really excels at dim sum and not the other stuff but totally understand if you skip the place due to that really really bad judgment call.
re: bigjeff
That was indeed a pretty bad call. I guess they thought that most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between ginger creme brulee and an egg white custard with a brulee top. Sad thing is I was really looking forward to the ginger creme brulee as I love ginger dan tats and have a very difficult time finding them.
re: Miss Needle
haha dude thats lame
the exact same thing that happened to me at XO branch off lafayette...i ordered beef cheung fan and the guy thought i said chow fun (i guess they sorta sound the same), they brought it out, i explained to them that its not what i ordered and then they took cheung fan and took the pieces of beef and put it in the cheung fan, very lame
re: Miss Needle
I'm saddened to hear you didn't enjoy your experience, but I am unsurprised as none of the dishes were among Red Egg's strong suits. The camarones con huacatay are not very good at all, nor are the steamed pork buns. The former come with a sauce that doesn't really complement the shrimp (which are somewhat mushy) and the latter are gritty and oddly crunchy from the excess of water chestnuts. There are far better dishes on the Chinese menu. As for the creme brulee, I actually would not be surprised if the ginger just didn't come out as pronounced as it should have in the custard. The coconut pudding and mango rolls, however, are terrific.
re: JungMann
Unfortunately, it wasn't ginger creme brulee. I've had ginger dan tats and egg white dan tats in the past before. And while I haven't had a ginger creme brulee before, I surmise it should probably taste similar to the filling of a ginger dan tat. A ginger creme brulee should have egg yolks in it as well as ginger flavor. It was definitely the same filling they use for egg white dan tats sprinkled with some sugar and torched 10 seconds before they served it to us.
I did write the owner when I got home and he responded yesterday saying that he took it up already with the manager and the staff. So hopefully what happened to me won't happen to anybody else. That said, there are so many great restaurants in NYC. So it's doubtful that I'll be going back there.
Yes, if one is going, I would say stick to the Cantonese Chinese side of the menu. And it's probably another good alternative to Dim Sum Go Go if one wants dim sum in the evening or late at night.
re: Miss Needle
I'm sorry to hear about such a bad experience. However, I was wondering if their ginger creme brulee is a derivative of the cantonese dessert (jiang zhi dun nai - mandarin pronounciation) or (gy-ong zup dun lai - bad cantonese pronounciation), that consists of ginger juice, milk and egg whites but not yolk?
re: xigua
As I have never had the ginger creme brulee at Red Egg before and as I'm not familiar with the dessert you're talking about, I'm afraid I can't answer your question. As bigjeff had the ginger creme brulee there, perhaps he can answer the question as to whether there is any yolk in the dish. The dish was not creamy at all -- it was exactly like the filling of an egg white dan tat and didn't have any of the dou ha qualities big jeff was describing earlier. It also looked exactly like the egg white custard tart I sent back earlier (well, with the exception of the brulee). And there wasn't even a hint of ginger in it, and I'm pretty good at picking up tastes in food.
So bigjeff or anybody else who's had the ginger creme brulee there, can you please let me know whether or not there's egg yolk in it? The color of my ginger creme brulee was a slightly transluscent white.
re: Miss Needle
it was definitely eggy but . . . I don't remember the color; it was definitely silky like do-hwa and definitely ginger-y but as I recall, very nice. sorry I couldn't be more definitive and again, sorry you had the bummer meal! shoulda stuck with all dim-sum! (but you know that already, now)
re: bigjeff
Well, it definitely sounds like I've got the white egg custard. Thanks for the description.

" /afk and /gquit are sitting in a boat, /gquit jumped out of the boat, who was left?" and pretty much for the first two weeks you'd see like 5 - 10 people every AV leave because they typed /afk without a space in front of it.

Healing Lessons from a War Zone
Healing Lessons from a War Zone
As an Army medic in Iraq and Afghanistan, I discovered the spirit of healing even in a world at war.
By Specialist Brian Antczak
During my time serving as a combat medic with the US Army in support of both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, I've repeatedly relied on faith and spirituality to help me accomplish my mission of providing quality medical assistance to those in need. Reciprocally, I found that the lessons of healing I learned from my patients, friends, and fellow soldiers helped me to understand my own faith, and to develop a better perspective of it in a world of strife and conflict.
I'm not an expert, and I'm not a hero. I speak as an average citizen, soldier, and layperson who has been a few places and seen a few things. But I have benefited from the wisdom and teaching of other medical providers and spiritual leaders, and it is from these combined experiences that I draw the following insights.
Those of us in more peaceful settings often find ourselves struggling with obstacles that seem insurmountable. We may find ourselves or our loved ones battling disease, or we might be simply trying to recover from the trials of life. I hope that these lessons I learned in my military service might relate to our own practice of improving our quality of life and nourishing the spiritual needs our communities and ourselves.
Please click here to read the first lesson.

Rated 3.9 out of 5�by 31 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by JT Looks good, sturdy construction. Pain to install to the helmet. Installing it to the helmet would have been easier if they added a few more sentences to the narrative part of the instructions. Once installed it felt very secure and it looked good as well as sturdy. It was a good price. August 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dad of 2 busy boys Just right Mask fits the helmet just like it's suppose to and have a big enough opening to not impair vision. June 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by knight Good for it ls purposes Does the job directions could have been clearer two types of clips included did not indicate when one should be used vs the other easy to install. May 21, 2014

Rated 2 out of 5�by tberry didn't match up at all didn't work on a Adidas helmet that we already had April 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Gopogotom Fits fine.. just a bit heavy I'm not sure what everyone else is doing, but this mask fits perfect to the helmet. I didn't like it because it was heavy and the helmet kept falling forward so we switched to a different brand. March 30, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by Jeschmitty Not easy I bought this mask for my six year old to match the helmet. It wasn't easy to install. The directions stink and the holes didn't match up. Took way too long to match up three holes. Should have taken 2 minutes. I asked my brother in law if I was doing it wrong and we both had trouble. This isn't my first rodeo. I would buy a different helmet mask combo in the future. March 12, 2014

Rated 3 out of 5�by JoeDaBeast Good For Its Use After my daughter hit a foul tip off her noggin. I decided that she needed some extra protection (even though it is only slow-pitch softball, she is injury prone) and went to Dick's Sporting Good for a cage that fit her helmet. The model numbers from the helmet was easy to match up to the cage and it is a snug fit. My only advice is to make better instructions for the installation of the cage. You'd think it should not be that hard, but it took me some time and I was trying to surprise my daughter before she got off the school bus for her game that day. Luckily I made it with minutes to spare. June 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by JimB2112 Good mask, bad instructions This is a very good mask, and of course it fits the appropriate Adidas mask perfectly. My son uses this for baseball without a problem. The only issue I have is that the installation instructions - for something this simple - were terrible. The parts listing didn't match what came with the mask, and the terminology was imcomprehensible. (What part of the helmet is the recess?) Thank goodness for the pictures - that was something I could understand. May 21, 2013

Well, I've been sick as a dog these last couple of days, and haven't gotten as much done on this as I had hoped. Still plugging away at it though, and I'll just have to hope that the threads don't get locked until Friday afternoon so that I'll have a snowball's chance in hell of finishing this up. In any event, here's a bit of progress.

yessssss! Yesssss
This is an expansion pack for Battle for Middle Earth II. It adds new armies such as Arnor & Angmar and has many new expanded heroes and units. The game focuses on the Return of the Witch King to power after the fall of Sauron in the second age. In his new arrival Arnor is losing its blood and is scrabbling over Rhuadar, Arthedain and Cardolan.
Finally, play the heros submod for the edain mod 3.8.1 with bad google translated english !! It work the same as the other patch; replace the file in the lang folder when you have the heros submod installed in your game directory.
yessssss! Yesssss
thanks! great!
Still doesn´t work. I dont know what else can I do.
I tried and I tried but nothing, the game is still in german.
I downland de edain mod 3.8.1 from this page. I installed it and I also installed the hero submod 3.1, they work perfect but they are in german.
I tried with this patch and with the normal patch to translate it to english but it doesn´t work.
I paste the patch in my folder lang, where I have 6 archives that say:
I replace the first one, like they said, but it doesn´t change the edain mod or the hero submod.
Can someone please tell me what exactly I have to do so the patch work???
So your game was installed in spanish? Let's try something else then ! Rename it spanishpatch201.big and test.
Thanks very much, it works perfect. Thanks for answering so fast.
my pleasure.
Hey what does this mod do and how do I install this. I know these are stupid questions but I can't find a way to install it properly. Also does this translate the heroes or does give additional hero stuff?
it's an unofficial patch who translate the hero submod for the edain mod from german to english.
the original patch for the edain mod is here:
I have the Edain mod and I also have it in English. But is this to translate the hero submod? I recently installed the submod and I understand that there is German text so --- Does this mod translate the submod and also how do I properly install this patch. Thanks.
yes it translate the hero submod and it work the same as the patch for the edain mod.
Replace the file englishpatch201.1 in the lang folder when you have the heros submod installed in your game directory.
How can I modify the Audios in German ?
Yeah it is some way to replace German voices with default english voices..?
Thx for translation to english..im from czech republic, and i have learned german language for 5 years, but still english is more suited :)
Ya se podia aplicar el cuento algun modder español y traducir este magnifico mod al español....
Thanks Klem :)
Should I repleace this patch (hero submod) of the other one?
