Lewis Hamilton believes he is capable of winning the Drivers' Championship title for Mercedes next year...
Lewis Hamilton believes he is capable of winning the Drivers' Championship title for Mercedes next year.
The 2008 World Champion believes finishing second in the Constructors' Championship ahead of Ferrari this year will provide an excellent springboard for the Brackley outfit next year.
"We've just finished second in the Constructors' Championship so of course we don't want to finish there next year, we want to make the next step," the 28-year-old told Sky Sports News.
"So for everyone and for me the target is to win the World Championship, both championships. Of course if we don't do it naturally there'll be some disappointment but we're not even going to put that negative energy out there."
Apart from winning the Drivers' and Constructors' titles under the Brawn GP title in 2009, the Brackley-based team has no experience of winning titles, but Hamilton is confident that can change in the near future.
"I don't think there's a particular World Champion mentality," he continued.
"Everyone has a different approach but I feel that everyone here is just hungry.
They've not have the success that perhaps they've deserved and they've not had the success of teams like Ferrari and McLaren and Red Bull.
"But they're hungry to have that and that hunger is what will take us there."

"The Guide"
This guide contains almost everything you need to know about the program. Please keep it handy. It supersedes the earlier version of the guide and, we hope, makes requirements and procedures clearer.

Scholarships, Fellowships, & Financial Aid: Undergraduate & Graduate
Significant Odds and Ends
The Program and its Mission
The Thomas Hunter Honors Program is an interdisciplinary program designed to provide superior students with an individualized course of study suited to their needs and interests. Open to students of high intellectual ability and interdisciplinary interests who are pursuing a BA degree, it is compatible with most Arts and Sciences majors. It provides its participants the chance to study with outstanding faculty members who have indicated an interest in assisting exceptional students. In general, students selected for the Thomas Hunter Honors Program must show evidence of high academic potential, diversified interests and intellectual curiosity, willingness to challenge themselves, and sufficient maturity to plan and carry out an individualized program of study in semesterly consultation with a Council on Honors faculty advisor.
[ back to top ]
The Council
The Council on Honors is the interdisciplinary faculty body that governs the Thomas Hunter Honors Program. The current members list can be found on the Council on Honors page.
[ back to top ]
1. Precertification
Your initial admission into the Thomas Hunter Honors Program is provisional. This period lasts a minimum of 2 full semesters, or until you have completed 24 credits in semesters after being admitted to the Program
2. Certification
Final certification into the Program, with the privilege to have Special Honors Curriculum on your record as a major, is usually made after two full semesters (24 credits) in the Program. For part-time students, certification will, of course, take longer.
You will be considered for certification if you have:
a. maintained a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better;
b. completed one THHP colloquium at the 200-level with a grade of B- or better;
c. declared your 9-credit secondary concentration ("mini-concentration") with your THHP advisor, and have completed at least one course in the sequence. [see page 4];
d. completed 18 credits of 200- and/or 300-level courses in a variety of disciplines, with at least 6 credits in a subdivision of Arts and Sciences other than that of the major. THHP colloquia do not count towards these 18 credits;
When you have completed all of the above requirements the Council reviews your record. If your academic record and your compliance with the interdisciplinary principles of the Program so warrant, the Council certifies you as a permanent member of the Program. Once that determination is made, the transcript comment "Special Honors Curriculum" is placed on your record by the Office of the Registrar.
A student who has failed to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.5 at the time when certification should occur, is given one semester in which to raise his or her cumulative grade point average. One of the good things about being certified is that should your GPA drop below 3.5 after certification, you can no longer be dismissed from the Program for this reason, although you may be dropped if you do not continue to abide by the regulations of the Program and its interdisciplinary principles. Another benefit of certification is that you may be eligible for certain scholarships. (See "Scholarships and Fellowships").
[ back to top ]
Thomas Hunter Honors Program Obligations
1. Enrollment:
All students in the Program are required to register for a minimum of 4.5 credits each semester. Any waiver of this requirement must be approved by an advisor during your registration conference.
2. Advising:
You are required to meet with an advisor for general academic advising at least once per semester. During the semester in which you are accepted into the Program, we request that you meet with an advisor twice (once for a welcome session immediately after you are accepted, and the second time for registration advising). At least four professors advise for the Program each semester. You may see any or all advisors. You can choose an advisor because he/she interviewed you, or you have taken a class with him/her, or because you like him/her, or perhaps only one advisor's schedule suits yours. If you fail to meet with an advisor once a semester, the designation "PHON" will be removed from your student group. You would lose all the privileges granted to members of the THHP, including priority registration. You are required to see an advisor every semester even after you have been certified in order to avoid any academic or bureaucratic problems that might come up, and to avoid nasty surprises at graduation audit time. It is too late to find out in your last semester that you haven't done something essential. You should make sure your advisor reviews all requirements with you several semesters before you plan to graduate. Your advisor can also help you with your personal statement for scholarships and graduate applications
3. Communications:
You are expected to keep yourself informed about opportunities and requirements of the Program.
a. Sign up for honors-l and review notices posted there.
b. If you change your address, phone number, or e-mail address, please tell our office in addition to notifying the Registrar's office. Our databases are not connected. In addition, for those who list the dormitory as a permanent address, please remember to let us know your new address when you graduate.
[ back to top ]
Thomas Hunter Honors Program Requirements
To graduate from the THHP you must complete the following
1. Three integrative interdisciplinary colloquia:
These colloquia are the core of the Special Honors Curriculum. Although they change every semester, all attempt to demonstrate how knowledge gained from a variety of disciplines can be related and integrated in an effort to understand complex processes and phenomena. Fostering the capacity for such integrative thinking is the primary goal of the Thomas Hunter Honors Program. You must take a 200-level colloquium by your second semester in the Program. You must also subsequently take a 300-level colloquium. The third colloquium may be at either the 200- or 300-level. You may not take more than one colloquium in any one semester. If you are a part-time student, you must take the first colloquium by your third semester in the Program. While the specific content of these courses varies from semester to semester, the underlying principles remain the same.
a. The 200-level colloquium is always taught by one professor who approaches a specific problem using materials and methodologies of two or more disciplines.
b. The 300-level colloquium usually involves two professors from two different areas who focus on a given topic. Occasionally, 300-level colloquia are taught by only one professor, but in those cases there are invited guest speakers from different disciplines.
c. For a colloquium to be counted toward the requirement of three, you must have earned the grade of B- or better.
2. Nine-credit secondary ("mini") concentration:
For purposes of this requirement, we consider the College of Arts and Sciences course offerings to be divided into Science and Mathematics, Social Sciences, and Humanities and Arts.
You are required to take a set of three related courses from the same division (usually the same department) of Arts and Sciences. The 3 courses should constitute a coherent concentrated area of study and must be in a division other than that of your major or primary concentration. For example, if your major is in the Social Sciences, your area of secondary concentration must be either in the Humanities and Arts or in Sciences and Mathematics; if your major is in the Humanities and Arts, this area of concentration must be either in the Social Sciences, or in Sciences and Mathematics; if your major is in Science and Mathematics, your "mini concentration" must be either in Humanities and Arts, or Social Sciences. This usually means 3 courses in a single department; 2 of which are at the 200- or 300-level, or above. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that you do not over-concentrate in closely related disciplines and that you achieve more than an entry-level knowledge in at least one field or discipline from a second of the three major disciplinary groupings of the Arts and Sciences. If you are planning to complete a departmental minor and it is in an academic division other than the one to which your disciplinary major belongs, see a THHP advisor to see whether it also satisfies our "mini-concentration" requirement. This "mini concentration" must be approved by a THHP advisor. You should have completed at least one course in your "mini concentration" by the time you are reviewed for certification. (See page 2, "Certification" for clarification.
3. Breadth in your curriculum:
The Council expects that you will choose courses in each of the three divisions of the Arts and Sciences: Humanities and Arts, Social Science, and Science and Mathematics, which will provide a solid, wide-ranging introduction to the materials and methodologies characteristic of each branch. You are further advised to make sure that you take some courses that provide a sense of historical development and some knowledge of the fundamental background texts and materials essential to general culture and to the disciplines that most interest you.
[ back to top ]
1. Departmental Major
Although the Thomas Hunter Honors Program is considered a major and will appear as such on your final transcript (it will state "Special Honors Curriculum" when you graduate), most students in the Program also complete one, or sometimes even two, departmental majors. If you want to major in English, for example, you declare a major with the English Department and are responsible for completing all departmental requirements. You are expected to sign up for "honors" work in at least one of your major departments, if it is available. Find out what your major department requires for honors when you declare the major. Do NOT wait until your senior year to do so. It is important that you consult with a Thomas Hunter Honors Program advisor about how you intend to complete this requirement. (See the handout "Requirement of Honors in Departmental Major.")
2. Individual Majors:
Should you prefer to create your own personal, interdisciplinary major instead of doing a departmental major, you must work out and submit an academic plan and have it approved by a Thomas Hunter Honors Program advisor. This may not be done at the last minute, and you must submit a proposal by the time you have completed 90 credits, or no later than the second to last semester before you intend to graduate. You may not decide just before graduating that you are going to have only an interdisciplinary Honors major. In addition, if you choose this option, you must complete either HONS 301.99 or HONS 491.51 and produce a substantial piece of writing that reflects and pulls together the knowledge acquired in the interdisciplinary course of study you have been pursuing. If you choose this option, only "Special Honors Curriculum" will appear in the slot for majors on your final transcript. If you have several majors, they will all appear. You do not have to formally declare your Individual Major (Declaration of Major form with OASIS), but you do have to complete and submit to a THHP advisor the "Contract for Individual Major", which is available in the THHP office. We notify the Registrar when you are certified (see paragraph below).
[ back to top ]
Department Minors
Students who enrolled at Hunter College prior to Spring 2009 have the option, but not the obligation, to complete any minor sequence that was declared and approved by the students' major department prior to the last day of the spring 2009 semester. For all other students, or for pre-2009 students who did not declare a minor before May 2009, the minor is also optional, but only courses of study approved by the minor department may be declared as minors. If you have not yet completed all four courses of your declared minor and have decided not to complete the minor, you must delete your minor by submitting the "Minor Declaration" Form, available on-line at
Please note, THHP students still must complete the mini-concentration (sometimes referred to as a "mini-minor"), in an academic division other than the one to which your disciplinary major belongs. Even if you decide to cancel your minor, but have completed at least 3 courses, (two at the 200-level or above), check with a THHP advisor to see whether they satisfy our "mini-concentration."
College-wide Requirements*
As a member of the THHP, you are released from some aspects of the General Education Requirement. This gives you additional flexibility, but not absolute freedom. In order to graduate with a degree from Hunter College, you are still required to complete the following:
1. English 120
You are required to complete or be exempt from English 120. If you feel you should be exempted, submit a well-written paper for an advanced course to the appropriate person in the English Department (currently Professor Trudy Smoke) with a request for exemption. Make sure the Registrar posts this exemption on your transcript.
2. Quantitative Reasoning and History
You are expected to take one course in something "quantitative" which must be approved by a THHP advisor. You are also expected to take one history course or POLSC 110.
3. Lab Science
You are required to complete a lab science course*. 100-level courses that satisfy the Special Honors Curriculum lab requirement are:
ANTHP 101 or 102
BIOL 100 or 102
CHEM 100 and CHEM 101 (lecture and lab)
PHYS 101 (lecture and lab)
*Higher-level lab courses are also acceptable.
Equivalent courses taken at other universities and AP courses accepted by the relevant department and which include a lab may be used to satisfy the lab science requirement. Please schedule an appointment with an advisor if you have any questions about your lab science requirement. We strongly advise you NOT to wait until your last semester to take your lab science course.
4.Foreign Language Requirement
Students who entered Hunter College in Fall 2001 or thereafter are required to complete the 2-year foreign language requirement. If you have proficiency in a language (native language other than English, four years of a high-school language, etc.), please make sure it shows on your transcript. Take some form of proof to the appropriate language department advisor if you are a native speaker of a foreign language, or if you have completed four years of a high school language, see either Ilene Drapkin or Bonnie Polis in Student Services. In either case, ask to have the proficiency indicated on your transcript. If you are beginning a language at Hunter, you are urged to take your first language course as soon as possible, and not to leave substantial time gaps between levels. Please note that even if you have satisfied this requirement, if you want to take another language, you will not receive credit for completing the first semester of the language unless you also complete the second semester.
5. Pluralism and Diversity
This is a College graduation requirement for everyone. If you entered Hunter in Fall 1993 or thereafter, you must fulfill it. If you believe that you have taken courses that should be acceptable for this requirement but have not been approved for it, there is an appeal process through a committee of the Hunter Academic Senate. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOUR FINAL SEMESTER TO APPEAL, SINCE APPEALS ARE NOT ALWAYS GRANTED.
*Students who entered Hunter after Summer 2013 must complete the Pathways requirements.
[ back to top ]
Degree Audit
All forms are available online at the following address:
Degree Audit Application Form (DAAF)
You should make an appointment with a THHP advisor in the semester preceding the semester in which you plan to graduate for a "pre-audit" meeting. After this meeting, see Sarah in the Program office. She will assist you in filling out the form properly. Degree Audit Application Forms (DAAF) are generally due in the Registrar's Office by the sixth week of the semester in which you plan to graduate. Check the Academic Calendar found online on the Registrar's Office One Stop page for the deadline to submit the DAAF. Please note that Degree Audit will not accept any DAAFs after the posted deadline.
Schedule an appointment with a THHP advisor at the start of the semester in which you plan to graduate, and present all of your filled-out forms to your THHP advisor. You should meet with a THHP advisor before you see your departmental advisor, since the THHP advisor will stamp the GER area on page 1 of the form and sign off on your Thomas Hunter Honors Program courses on page 2 of the form. Next, you will need to make an appointment with your non-Honors department advisor(s) to get a signature and stamp underneath their respective courses on page 3 and/or page 4 of the graduation audit form(s). We advise you to do this as early as possible. If there are problems, there will be time to have them resolved well before it is time for you to graduate. If, after you have filed for graduation, you cannot complete all of your graduation requirements, notify the DegreeAudit division to cancel your graduation, and file to graduate in the following semester. You will not be able to register for courses unless you cancel your audit.
[ back to top ]
Scholarships, Fellowships, & Financial Aid: Undergraduate & Graduate
Even if you are not presently receiving financial aid, you should have a completed and current FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) on file with the financial aid office. Scholarships and fellowships cannot be awarded without a properly completed FAFSA. http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/
Attention all students receiving TAP: As you plan your course schedules, please take into account the stringent guidelines that are currently being enforced. See the information posted at the following website: Financial Aid Applications Information.
You should periodically consult the Hunter Gatherer (http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/studentservices/events) for interesting scholarship and internship opportunities. It is a very useful tool.
Undergraduates - Myrna Fader's office in Student Services, 11th floor East is where you can find out about the Charlotte W. Newcombe, Fulbright, and Belle Zeller scholarships, etc., pick up helpful information and perhaps schedule an appointment with Myrna Fader. Her Undergraduate & Graduate Grants Guide details a variety of scholarships (not TAP, etc.) for which you may be eligible. It is also available on-line at http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/studentservices/scholarships/repository/files/GrantsGuide.pdf. Ms. Fader also produces a Planning for Graduate School booklet, which is available in her office.
If you intend to go on to graduate school, do not forget to file an application for a Scholarship and Welfare Fund Senior Scholarship for Graduate Study by the deadline (usually in February) of the academic year in which you plan to graduate. This scholarship for first-year graduate study may be used anywhere and is independent of anything your graduate institution may give you. Apply for it even if you are going to take a year off. The scholarship may be deferred for two years.
The Scholarship and Welfare Fund of the Alumni Association also provides small scholarships for excellent undergraduate students. Apply through the Office of Student Services. (Deadline is May 1st.) In addition, they award a small number of larger scholarships to Thomas Hunter Honors Program students recommended to them by members of the Council on Honors.
Members of the Thomas Hunter Honors Program intending to graduate in January or June who are majoring in one of the humanities or arts, or history, and who plan to go on to graduate school, should tell our office by September of their intention to graduate, so we will think of them when we are asked to nominate students for certain fellowships, the deadline for which occurs in the early fall. Outstanding students contemplating applying for special scholarships for graduate studies (e.g., Javits, NSF, Jack Kent Cooke) should see the Chair or an advisor, as well as Myrna Fader early in their junior year (at the 60-70 credit point) for assistance during the application process.
All certified Thomas Hunter Honors Program students are eligible to apply for several special scholarships reserved for THHP students. If you expect to receive certification in a given semester, you are also encouraged to apply then. In addition to an outstanding academic record at Hunter, the other criteria for the scholarships are:
1. a transcript showing intellectual commitment to the interdisciplinary principles of the Thomas Hunter Honor Program
2. financial need
3. If you should find yourself in real financial difficulty, see the Chair, or just speak to an advisor.
[ back to top ]
Significant Odds and Ends
1. Incompletes and FINs:
a. The Thomas Hunter Honors Program strongly advises against taking an Incomplete in any course. However, if you find yourself in the situation in which that is your only option, and your instructor(s) agree(s), fill out a "Contract to Resolve Incomplete Grades" with your instructor(s) and give the THHP office a copy. This will encourage you to complete the course requirement(s) in a timely manner, and will also give us a record of your intention. If you take an Incomplete in any course, you will not be on the Dean's List for that semester.
b. An Incomplete in a THHP Colloquium will prevent you from being certified in the Program.
c. A FIN in a THHP Colloquium will prevent you from registering for another THHP Colloquium until the FIN is resolved. If you have an Incomplete, you are placed on the wait-list for any new THHP colloquium until the work for the previous colloquium has been completed. Please note that if an IN turns into a FIN by the end of the semester in which you plan to graduate, and if the FIN is not resolved before the deadline, you will need to cancel your grad audit and your graduation will not be in effect until the work has been completed and the change of grade form has been submitted to the Registrar's office.
2. Credit/No Credit Grades (CR/NC):
You must maintain a 3.5 GPA to be certified in the Program. The use of CR/NC is discouraged by the Council on Honors, except in special circumstances and with the permission of an advisor. If you opt for a CR in one of your THHP colloquia, it will not count towards the three THHP colloquia you need. In addition, while CRs and NCs are not averaged into your Hunter GPA, you will not be on the Dean's List in a semester in which you take a CR/NC. Medical schools and many graduate schools consider CRs taken in courses where letter grades are available to be the equivalent of a C, and law schools may factor in NCs as though they were Fs. (None of this applies to internships, etc., where CR and NC are the only grades given.)
3. Leaves of Absence:
a. The College does not recognize leaves of absence. If you leave for more than one semester, you are technically 'not on file' and you must apply for readmission to Hunter. Deadlines for readmission are July 1 for Fall, December 1 for Spring, and April 1 for Summer admission. You are required to pay a $10.00 fee. If you are not on file for two consecutive semesters, the THHP designation will be removed from your record. Make sure you come to the Thomas Hunter Honors Program office and notify us that you are planning to be readmitted. If we don't know that you are planning to return, you will lose priority registration for the semester that you do return. You must also see a THHP advisor.
b. If you have been certified in the Thomas Hunter Honors Program, you will be readmitted to the THHP automatically if your GPA was 3.5 or better when you left.
c. If you have not yet been certified in the Thomas Hunter Honors Program, you will be readmitted to the THHP automatically if your GPA was at or above the entering eligibility requirement (currently 3.65).
d. All other cases will be reviewed individually.
4. If you need money and are interested in part-time jobs:
Please tell our office so we will think of you when people call. Conversely, if there is a position available where you work, please let us know! We do keep an active list of students who are looking for work. Foreign students on student visas may work on campus only.
5. GRE, MCAT, and LSAT preparation:
If you are going to take a preparatory course, Princeton Review gives all Hunter students a 30% discount.
6. Pre-Professional Programs:
a. The Pre-Health Professions Office provides services to students who intend to go to medical school, vet school, dental school, and any other doctoral level health profession. They guide students through the application process including personal statement assistance. It is recommended that you open a file with the Office of Pre-Health Professions Advising as early as possible so you can take advantage of their services. www.hunter.cuny.edu/prehealth
b. If you are interested in attending Law School when you graduate, you should visit the Pre-Law Advising website for a wealth of information, including how to register with the Pre-Law Advisory Office, and schedule an appointment with Elise Jaffe, the Director of Pre-Law Programs and Pre-Law Advisor. www.hunter.cuny.edu/prelaw
c. Students planning to pursue an MBA are encouraged to meet with Grace Trewartha, the Pre-Business Advisor. www.hunter.cuny.edu/prebusiness
7. Phi Beta Kappa and other Honor Societies: Many of our students are invited to join prestigious national honor societies such as Phi Beta Kappa. If you receive an invitation to one or more of these please do not disregard it, as admission to such societies is definitely a feather in one's cap. If you have doubts about whether you should join or not, see an advisor and discuss the matter. Do not simply dismiss the invitation.
8. Web site: Periodically check out our website. It includes a "late-breaking news" section which will keep you up-to-date on the latest "need to know" information on the Program.
9. Once you graduate, make sure to visit the Hunter College Alumni Office, room 1314A East. We have established a Thomas Hunter Honors Program chapter of the Alumni Association, so please join and do keep in touch!! We always want to know where you are, what work you are doing, and how well you think Hunter College and the Thomas Hunter Honors Program prepared you for life after the undergraduate experience. Please let us know your e-mail address and telephone number, so that we can reach you if necessary.
This is how we communicate with you. We frequently hear of interesting scholarship opportunities and prizes or other items that would be important for you to know about, but we have neither the time nor the budget to send out frequent mailings, and by the time we can, it may be too late. We do post such information on our honors-l email list. You will need to subscribe to this list in order to receive these e-mails from us. Please read the enclosed instruction sheet and subscribe immediately. In addition, we sometimes send e-mails individually; please make sure we have a current e-mail address for you. All Hunter students have an internal e-mail account, if you don't have an e-mail account of your own. Let us know if you need help accessing your account. If you change your mailing address, phone numbers, and/or e-mail address, please notify us so that we can update our records. Please check your @myhunter emails, as important information is sent there.

Rescue a Sick or Injured Stray Dog in Nepal
Roll over image to zoom in
Together, we can ensure that street dogs in Kathmandu are healthy and safe.
More than 20,000 dogs live on the streets of Kathmandu, Nepal. Many of them suffer from starvation, mange, and other injuries and illnesses exacerbated by neglect and overpopulation. Because each year around 200 Nepali people die of rabies, the Kathmandu city government used to poison more than 10,000 street dogs each year in an ineffective attempt to control the disease and the street dog population. Now, the government has agreed to no longer poison stray dogs in the areas where Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre (KAT) works.
The KAT Centre opened in May 2004 to bring the street dog population in Kathmandu to health and stability. In just a few years, KAT has made a very noticeable impact on the Kathmandu Valley's dog community, treating more than twelve thousand street dogs. The KAT Centre employs veterinarians and assistants to perform these crucial tasks for the dogs:
- spaying and neutering them
- vaccinating them against rabies
- treating existing conditions
As Dr. Charlotte Uhlenbroek, KAT Patron and BBC television presenter, animal behaviorist, and author puts it, "It's a finite problem and we know what the solution is. All we need is your help."
- $12 provides a day's wages for a vet who works to spay, neuter, vaccinate, and rescue street animals in Kathmandu.
- $30 rescues one stray dog from Kathmandu's streets, providing medical care, spay or neuter surgery, and vaccination.
Mango - one rescue story among 12,000 and counting:
I was waiting for the bus when this appalling suffering creature on four legs walked by. Mango was totally bald; his scrawny body covered in sores. At first, when one sees something like this, one wants to look away - feeling sick. But in Kathmandu, I have seen many such dogs suffering from mange.
I approached Mango, not sure of how he would react to a stranger. But he surprised me by wagging a friendly tail. In front of an astonished queue of people, I picked him up and carefully carried him back to my home. I ran inside to get some food and a towel to cover him for the journey to the KAT [Kathmandu Animal Treatment] Centre.
Mango showed all the signs that inside this hideous creature there was a very perky, brave little dog... so why not give this little fellow the chance he deserved? By KAT's ceremonial opening day, Mango was cured of the mange. He was already showing signs of the beauty he was to become - our fabulous Tibetan Terrier.
~Jan Salter, Founder of KAT Centre
The Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre (KAT Centre) is a non-profit registered charitable organization dedicated to improving the welfare of Nepal's animals. Its goals are to create a healthy, stable street dog population and eliminate rabies in Kathmandu, Nepal. KAT's staff, which is entirely Nepali, includes two full-time vets and six animal care staff who also function as veterinary assistants.

The Mercado Shopping Village opened March 1986, Orlando's first festival marketplace, which emphasized specialty shops, restaurants, and entertainment. With over 50 stores, they ranged from Old Tyme Photos, where you got your photo taken while wearing old time rags to Santa C., a shop which specialized primarily in Christmas year round.
The shopping center also featured events, for example in 1987 they had the Big Scoop Ice Cream Competition and Tasting Fair; open to all ice creams where they competed for best best vanilla ice cream, best chocolate ice cream, best ice cream dish, best ice cream drink and best far-out flavor. The shops also brought with them 15-20 gallons of ice cream to sell and the proceeds went to charity.
By 1988 though, business was waning. Merchants said it was mainly because the marketplace relied solely on tourists. In 1990, Martin Marietta Corp, owner, sold the Mercado for $42.5 million, a sale that was part of a liquidation of the company's holding in the business park. It was managed by Ewing Southeast Realty Inc. until it was purchased in 1991 by Christian Wolfer, who at the time owned four different companies. In 2002, the owners filed for bankruptcy, blaming the post-Sept.11 tourist slump for the slow business. LaSelle Bank acquired the property and auctioned it off for $18.3 million.
The property was purchased by Unicorp National Developments in 2005. by that time, business was terrible. Less than a dozen shops remained; empty storefronts with broken windows were plenty and walking into a filthy bathroom was common. Unicorp hired a security firm to help combat the vandalism and crime in the plaza.
In 2006, Unicorp donated the plaza to Raw Productions, which put on a haunted house event for several weeks leading up to Halloween. Called "Nights of Terror", they converted three empty storefronts and the still-operating Titanic: Ship of Dreams attraction into four haunted houses. Opening week though, they didn't bring in the crowd they expected it to and began offering unlimited foods and lower ticket prices. Tenants complained the company brought in its own food and drinks, discouraging those who did attend to patronize their restaurants.
Unicorp announced in 2007, the Mercado would be demolished to make way for The Square, a mixture of upscale restaurants and eateries with a 424-room, 16-story hotel, dubbed Amalfi to be built first. The plan never materialized and in 2011, it was announced that a $100 million entertainment-dining-shopping district theme park called I-Drive Live would be built, including a 425 foot observation dubbed the Orlando eye, a Madame Tussauds wax museum, and a Sea Life Aquarium. As of 2013, the property is still an empty lot.

Rob Parker went of First Take today and basically questioned how black RG3 was. Back story, RG3 said his race doesn't define what kind of player he is or will be. Parker says RG3 isn't with the cause and he's gotta question whether or not RG3 is a brother because he's a Republican and is engaged to a white woman.
Now as a white man, let me get on a Soapbox and let me say **** ROB PARKER. If Skip Bayless would have said that, he would've been fired. I hate Rush Limbaugh but he got fired from ESPN for saying Donovan McNabb was overrated because people wanted a good black QB. Parker probably won't get **** for basically calling RG3 an Uncle Tom.
He's not down for the cause... what is this 1960?

Welcome to the Ground Zero Games Online Store
Please check back to this front page regularly, as important news and updates are posted here as frequently as possible.
At present, all prices on the store are displayed INCLUSIVE OF VAT - we don't currently have the option to display the ex-VAT prices for non-EU customers, though we hope this will return as soon as we can sort it out; in the meantime, all non-EU customers please rest assured that the VAT will be deducted for you at the checkout stage, and the ex-VAT subtotal will be displayed at that point on all orders.
UPDATE - THURSDAY 3rd SEPTEMBER 2015:
A little more COLOURS info....
Just over a week till the show, and stock production is proceeding well - I should have good stocks of all the things we usually take to shows these days (please remember that we DON'T bring the 25mm, 6mm or 2mm ranges - if you want anything from any of those, please email me ASAP!). While I'm managing to get some orders out in between stock casting, as always in the couple of weeks before a major show there will be some orders that inevitably get delayed a little - any that I can't deal with before the show will be given top priority as soon as I'm back (and if anything is significantly delayed, you can usually expect a little extra something in the parcel by way of compensation!).
Now, a couple of important notes about the COLOURS show itself, for those of you who are hoping to come along:
This year, we (GZG) will NOT be in our "usual" spot on the Ground Floor - we will be on the FIRST FLOOR of the venue, but we will have a bigger stand (18 feet!) and a lot more space, light and air up there! So, don't panic when you don't find us where you'd first expect....
We will have quite a lot of NEW RELEASES at the show - whether I get the chance to preview them here depends entirely on how next week goes, but some of them will be in VERY limited quantities and it will be first come, first served - so make sure you get up to see us as early as possible!
Finally, please remember that we are still CASH ONLY at shows, and I'm not sure if there are any active cashpoints at the venue - so don't spend all your money before you get to us.....!
SEE YOU ON THE 12th!
UPDATE - SATURDAY 29th AUGUST 2015:
....and we will be there supporting it as usual! After their break last year, the ever-popular COLOURS show (by Newbury and Reading Wargames Society) is back at NEWBURY RACECOURSE on Saturday the 12th September. Please note that this is a ONE-DAY event rather than the old two-day show, which makes a lot of sense - the Sunday was always very sparsely attended anyway, with public transport being much more difficult. On Saturday, the Racecourse's own rail stop is open making this one of the easiest shows to get to by train - but there is also masses of free car parking. We will have a whole load of NEW RELEASES out for the show; if I get the time to preview any here I will, otherwise you'll just have to turn up and see for yourselves!
More details between now and the show, please check back here regularly for further updates....
UPDATE - TUESDAY 21st July 2015:
MORE NEW 15mm STARGRUNT INFANTRY!
Another batch of NEW RELEASES, all AVAILABLE NOW! EIGHT new packs across three of our popular SG forces. See the "new products" pics at the foot of this page, or just search the relevant sections of the 15mm Stargrunt listings.

Don't forget that our GZG 30th Birthday Offer is still on till the 31st July, so you can still get a bunch of EXTRA FREE STUFF with all orders of £30 (30 GBP) and over - full details below!
A BIG THANK YOU to all those of you who got your orders in over the AFD weekend - as soon as I get the chance, I'll sort out how big this year's donation will be and how I will divide it, and between which charities. More news soon!
UPDATE - FRIDAY 26th June 2015:
GZG: 30th BIRTHDAY OFFER!
As some of you may have realised (I know that a few of you have been with us since the start!), GZG is officially 30 YEARS OLD this year!
The very first products I made and sold under the GZG name were produced in 1985, when people had to find out about my products from small ads in the back of White Dwarf (still an independant gaming mag in those days!) and Military Modelling, and then had to send orders by post with cheques or postal orders - yes, kids, there really WAS gaming around before the Internet….
I can't recall exactly what date in 1985 I actually began selling stuff - so July, being the middle of the year, seems as good a time as any - plus my own birthday is also in July, making it a good month to celebrate this milestone (sadly my own is considerably more than GZG's 30 years….).
I was planning to run an offer just for the month of July - but as the Armed Forces Day falls just at the end of June, I decided that I may as well start the Birthday Offer today, a few days early, so that those of you who wish to order this weekend can take advantage of the offer as well as contributing towards my AFD charity donation as detailed above.
So, even though it is GZG's and my birthday, I'm giving YOU the gifts! As it's GZG's 30th, every order totalling £30 or more* which I receive between now and midnight on Friday 31st July will have a generous GZG 30th BIRTHDAY GIFT PACKET of free extras included with the ordered goods! This will be along the same lines as my regular pre-Christmas special promotion - a "goodie bag" of free minis picked by me, that are relevant to the sort of items you have actually ordered - so if you order FT ships, you'll get extra free ship minis, if you order 15mm then you'll get 15mm freebies, and of course mixed orders will get mixed freebie bags! Just like the Christmas offer of course, the bigger your order the more freebies you'll get..... ;-)
Please don't be cheeky and ask for specific items - it's a gift, after all - but those of you who have received our Christmas goodie bags will know that I do my best to supply interesting things that are actually useful in your games - those of you who have had the Christmas offers will also know that you will get much more value in your freebies bag than you would if I simply offered a % discount - plus you'll have the fun of the surprise!
* I'm keeping the qualifying value extra-simple for this time - if the final total of your order, the amount you actually pay INCLUDING postage and VAT where applicable, is £30 or over - then it qualifies for the 30th Birthday Freebies offer! :-)
There you go - help to celebrate 30 YEARS of GZG products, and get some great FREE stuff - what could be better?
Thanks for reading,
Jon (GZG), 26/6/15.
EXTRA UPDATE - THURSDAY 4th June 2015:
As promised earlier today, here are the NEW RELEASES, all AVAILABLE NOW! See the "new products" pics at the foot of this page, or just search the relevant sections of the 15mm Stargrunt listings.
NEW 15mm MERCENARY/IRREGULAR TROOPS:
The first packs are now available in an extensive new range of figures that can serve many purposes within your army - with a wide variety of uniforms and headgear, and carrying a mix of various low- to mid-tech weaponry, we've called them "Mercs", but these troops can represent individualistic but highly trained Mercenary units, Special Forces teams or PMCs (Private Military Contractors), or equally be irregular militia, resistance fighters or almost anything else that you want them to be! There is a good mix of male and female troops within the range, and hopefully almost everyone will be able to find a role for a group of these attached to their army, or even as a complete force in their own right.
Every different figure sculpt in this range is highly individual in style, and they also lend themselves perfectly to further customisation with some simple head swaps using our SG15-XH1 and XH2 "head packs".
AVAILABLE NOW: ALL PACKS £3.00 each (inc VAT) or £2.50 ex VAT for non-EU customers.
SG15-M01 Mercs rifles pack A - 8 figures, 2 each of 4 sculpts: 3 male figures and 1 female figure, all with various rifles and headgear (beret, field caps, bareheaded).
SG15-M02 Mercs rifles pack B - 8 figures, 2 each of 4 sculpts: all female figures, with various rifles, all bareheaded.
SG15-M03 Mercs rifles pack C - 8 figures, 2 each of 4 sculpts: all male figures, with various rifles, all bareheaded.
SG15-M04 Mercs squad support pack with SAWs/LMGs - 8 figures, 2 each of 4 sculpts: male and female figures advancing, male and female figures prone firing.
COMING SOON: further support packs with RPGs and rocket launchers, marksmen (and women) with sniping rifles, command groups and "character" leader figures, groundmount heavy weapons and crews, gunners and weapons for the backs of trucks and pickups (ideal to make the "technicals" so commonly used by irregular forces) and more!
Other NEW RELEASES available NOW: (All £3.00 per pack inc VAT, 2.50 ex VAT):
For the CDF (Colonial Defence Force) range:
SG15-C22 CDF mounted scouts in field caps (2 horses, 2 riders in different poses).
For the FSE Colonial Legion troops:
SG15-F24 FSE Colonial Legion troops in KEPI - Command and Comms pack (8 figures, 2 each of 4 different sculpts).
SG15-F25 FSE Colonial Legion troops in KEPI - RAM Mortars pack (2 weapon teams each of mortar, base mount and 2 crew figures).
More new items to follow soon in several of our most popular 15mm ranges!
UPDATE - THURSDAY 4th June 2015:
It's been a while since my last update on here - nothing to worry about, I've just been keeping the orders up to date and getting some other stuff done that has needed attention for some time. This brief post is just to let you all know that I'll be posting a batch of NEW ITEMS later today - so please check back here in a few hours' time!
This batch (all 15mm) will incude some new packs for the FSE Colonial Legion, the CDF troops and, at last, the all-new MERCENARY forces that were launched at Salute - these will now be available for mailorder!
Till later.....
Jon (GZG) 04/06/15.
ADDITIONAL UPDATE - FRIDAY 27th FEBRUARY 2015:
Four NEW codes of Merchant Ships (or "targets", as some of you like to consider them...): the FT353A Bergen Starlighter is the first of an all-new design, which will shortly be joined by several variant codes with different cargo modules; FT338C, D and E are new variants of our popular "Tradewind" class ships with different cargo module loads AND an all-new drive module - this new drive unit will also now be supplied with the original Tradewind class ships (FT338A and B) unless the old design is specifically requested on ordering.
Click on the pictures at the foot of this page, or just go to the "Merchant, Civilian and Support Ships" page in the store.
UPDATE - FRIDAY 27th FEBRUARY 2015:
NEW 15mm RELEASES NOW AVAILABLE!
As promised in yesterday's update, the new releases (in 15mm) are now up on the store and fully available. We have some lovely little Drone UAVs, designed and sculpted by MMG, in two types - a fan-drone with quad fan nacelles (V15-106 A to D), and a Grav drone with quad lift vanes (V15-107 A to D) - so you can pick whichever type best suits your army's tech level. Each drone is available in FOUR different weapon load variants - a heavy autocannon, a Plasma cannon, a pair of four-round missile packs or a pair of heavy machine-guns. Either click on the pics in the new products section at the foot of this page, or go to the "Drones, Remotes and Bots" page of the 15mm listings.
In addition to the eight versions of drone, we also have SIX new packs of 15mm troops - one (SG15-C20) for the Colonial Defence (CDF) of troopers with short assault-carbine or autoshotgun type weapons (as already used on the command and weapons crew packs for the CDF); the Pan-Africans (PAU) get a pack of MOUNTED SCOUTS (SG15-P17), with all-new riders on terran-stock horses. Last but not least, the FSE COLONIAL LEGION gets FOUR long-awaited new packs: with figures in Helmets we have a Command and Comms pack (SG15-F14), a RAM Mortars pack (SG15-F15) and a Plasma Cannons pack (SG15-F16), plus one pack of Plasma cannon teams with crew in Kepis (SG15-F26).
Further updates, Sunday 23rd November 2014:
The four new 15mm packs that were released at WARFARE last weekend are now on the store here and available to mailorder! Check the Stargrunt 15mm PAU and Japanese pages, or simply click on the pics of latest items shown at the foot of this page!
SG15-P15 Pan-African Union weapons teams with Rotary Heavy Machineguns (2 teams each of gun, tripod mount, gunner and spotter, both in helmets)
SG15-P16 Pan-African Union weapons teams with RAM mortars (2 teams each of mortar, baseplate and two crew, both in helmets)
SG15-J15 Japanese Corporate Ashigaru weapons teams with Heavy Tribarrel Autocannons (2 teams each of gun, tripod mount, gunner and spotter, both in helmets)
SG15-J16 Japanese Corporate Ashigaru weapons teams with Multilaunchers (2 teams each of launcher, baseplate and two crew, both in helmets)
IMPORTANT NEWS RE OUR SG25 RANGE OF 25mm FIGURES:
As some of you may know already, we recently agreed with Eureka Miniatures the termination of our long-standing license production agreement which saw Eureka producing a selection of the GZG ranges (including our "old-style" FT starship fleets) for sale in the Australian/NZ markets.
The most important effect of this decision as far as our own customers are concerned is that we will be ceasing production of a number of the lines in our SG25 infantry range, because these figures were designed by or for Eureka and have been produced by GZG under a reciprocal licensing agreement.
The 25mm figure ranges that are affected are as follows:
All of the SGZ (New Israeli) range
All of the SGO (OUDF) range
All of the SGD (Dutch) range
All of the SGB (Indonesian) range
Part of the SGP (Pan African) range - figure codes from SGP-09A onwards
Part of the SGU (UNSC Hardsuit) range - figure codes from SGU-14A to SGU-20A
Part of the SGE (Eurasian) range: the Heavy Infantry only, figure codes from SGE-50 to SGE-71
Part of the SGA (NAC) range: the Gurkhas only, figure codes from SGA-61 to SGA-72D
Part of the SGN (NSL) range: the JAGERS only, figure codes from SGN-41 to SGN-62
The "EBH" Alien Bounty Hunters figures (EBH-1,2,3)
All other SG25 code figures will remain in production as normal, but as of December 31st 2014 all the items on the list above will be removed from our webstore, and will not be available from us even as special order items; they will, as far as I know, remain available direct from Eureka Miniatures for the foreseeable future.
So, especially if you are in the UK or EU, if you want any SG25 figures from the ranges listed above to complete your forces, and want to get them from us, you have just over one month in which to purchase them before they are gone from sale.
PLEASE NOTE THAT NONE OF OUR SG15 (15mm) FIGURES ARE AFFECTED BY THIS CHANGE - ALL THE 15mm FIGURES ARE OUR (GZG) SCULPTS!
UPDATE - MONDAY 27th OCTOBER 2014:
For the Japanese Corporate troops:
SG15-J14 Japanese Corporate Ashigaru Command and Comms - in helmets (8 figures, 2 each of 4 different poses)
For the Pan-African Union (PAU) troops:
SG15-P14 PAU Infantry Command and Comms - in helmets (8 figures, 2 each of 4 different poses)
For the TOMORROW'S WAR Brazilian Hardsuit troops:
TW15-BZ04 Brazilian Infantry Command and Comms (8 figures, 2 each of 4 different poses)
Plus TWO new packs for the Colonial Defence Forces (CDF):
SG15-C18 CDF Autocannon Teams (2 weapon teams, each of autocannon, tripod mount, gunner and spotter)
SG15-C19 CDF Mortar Teams (2 weapon teams, each of mortar, baseplate and two kneeling crew)
EXTRA UPDATE - LATE THURSDAY 11th SEPT 2014:
SEVEN new 15mm packs plus one new vehicle - all in full production and AVAILABLE NOW - check the relevant pages of the store, or just click on the latest items displayed at the foot of this page!
THE NSL HEAVIES HAVE ARRIVED! Stomping across the battlefield (or soaring on jump-jets) in support of our recent NSL troops releases, we are very pleased to announce the all-new, resculpted NSL POWER ARMOUR TROOPS!
While similar in design to our original SG15-N03 pack, these all-new sculpts are significantly bigger and more imposing than the old figures, with the addition of jump-packs and a much wider weapons selection. Please note that the old N03 pack will remain available for those who wish to add to old units of them, but these new figures don't really mix with them.
SG15-N31 NSL "PKaZ" (PanzerKampfanZug) Powered Armour Troops pack A: Hand Weapons £4.50 (£3.75 ex VAT)
Six figures with PA-modified Assault Rifles, plus over-shoulder grenade launcher racks on (optional) jump-jet backpacks. Pack contains 6 body castings (3 each of 2 different poses), 6 backpacks and 6 sets of separate arms to allow maximum pose variation. The back of each body casting is fully detailed to allow the figures to be assembled either with or without the jump-packs, to your choice.
SG15-N32 NSL "PKaZ" (PanzerKampfanZug) Powered Armour Troops pack B: Heavy Support Weapons £4.50 (£3.75 ex VAT)
Six figures with support weapons (3 each of Plasma Gun and Heavy SAW), plus over-shoulder grenade launcher racks on (optional) jump-jet backpacks. Pack contains 6 body castings (3 each of 2 different poses), 6 backpacks and 6 sets of separate arms to allow maximum pose variation. The back of each body casting is fully detailed to allow the figures to be assembled either with or without the jump-packs, to your choice.
SG15-N33 NSL "PKaZ" (PanzerKampfanZug) Powered Armour Troops pack C: Command and Missile £4.50 (£3.75 ex VAT)
Six figures: 3 command suits with PA-modified Assault Rifles and comms system plus sensor pod on (optional) jump-jet backpacks, 3 Multi-Role Missile operators with 4-round box launcher and jump-pack with sensor/designator pod. Pack contains 6 body castings (3 each of 2 different poses), 6 backpacks and 6 sets of separate arms to allow maximum pose variation. The back of each body casting is fully detailed to allow the figures to be assembled either with or without the jump-packs, to your choice.
The BRAZILIANS for TOMORROW'S WAR: sculpted to designs from Ambush Alley Games, publishers of the Tomorrow's War rules system (available from Osprey Publishing). Check AAG's website for more information on these figures and the TW rules!
Three packs out at present - more to follow if these are popular....
TW15-BZ01 Brazilian Riflemen, 8 figures with assault rifles £3.60 (£3.00 ex VAT)
Eight Brazilian troopers in combat hardsuits with "Cyclops" helmets and standard infantry assault rifle, 2 each of 4 different poses.
TW15-BZ02 Brazilian Support Gunners, 8 figures with SAWs £3.60 (£3.00 ex VAT)
Eight Brazilian troopers in combat hardsuits with "Cyclops" helmets and Squad Automatic Weapons (SAWs) , 2 each in kneeling firing and prone firing poses, plus 4 in advancing pose.
TW15-BZ03 Brazilian Heavy and Special Weapons, 8 figures £3.60 (£3.00 ex VAT)
Eight Brazilian troopers in combat hardsuits with "Cyclops" helmets, 2 each of 4 different poses: 2 poses with shoulder-fired rocket system (kneeling firing, and advancing), one pose of Marksman advancing with sniper rifle, one pose of Grenadier standing firing auto-grenade-launcher.
A new (and rather different!) addition to our very popular Colonoal Defence Force (CDF) troops range:
SG15-C17 Colonial Defence Force (CDF) Mounted Recon Scouts £3.00 (£2.50 ex VAT)
CDF scouts mounted on Terran-stock heavy horses, pack contains 2 horses (different poses) and 2 riders (also in different poses), both with assault rifles or autoshotguns. Good old-fashioned low-tech Colonial scout forces, extremely capable in bad terrain, long-ranged and low-maintenance - much more reliable than a grav bike!
Plus a new variant of the MRAP 4-wheeler, great for any colonial, low-tech or near-future forces....
V15-100D MRAP Open Cargo Truck variant £7.50 (£6.25 ex VAT)
A further variant of the MRAP protected patrol vehicle, this time with an open cargo bed - for logistics support, basic troop transport or ideal to fit any kind of weapon mount in the back to make a "technical" for colonial and irregular forces!
Please note that these two ranges of FT starships (the NI 15xx codes and K'V 4xx codes) are now suffering from significant mould wear, and in due course they will be withdrawn from sale pending the making of new moulds for them; if you wish to order any in the meantime we can still supply them for the moment, but on the understanding that some (especially the larger K'V classes) will need considerably more clean-up work (flash removal, re-opening mounting holes etc) that our normal castings. Thanks for your attention.
