Matchbox - One Loudoun
My 28th birthday.
The music in the bar area was too LOUD. It affected conversation at my table in the restaurant area.
Way too pricey for this type of restaurant. The best part of the meal was the bread, so what does that say. Shrimp and grits appetizer was good, but I have had better as an entree at other restaurants for the same price. Pizza mediocre for the price. The same could be said for the burgers. Fries the same as I can buy at the supermarket in frozen foods. Drinks ok. Not a great pour on the martini and 3 attempts made to get a soft drink order right. Bartender never noticed syrup was missing from the drink and it was just fizzy water. Brunch offering is just plain silly. $31.50 for all you can eat, and still pay for bloodys and mimosas. For someone like me, who only eats an appetizer for my main course, it would be ridiculous to spend that much money and just eat an omelet or chicken and waffles. WHY not make the brunch ala carte???? Thought we would try something new, but big mistake. Server was great though.
It is a great place for happy hour - fun, great music, big appetizers, cold beers, etc.
I was disappointed that they changed the bread for the spinach dip (Mosaic location had a crustier sliced bread that was simply delicious). Also the sliders were not as tasty as the ones at the Mosaic location - the fried onions were really greasy and not crunchy and the sliders themselves were quite dry (not enough cheese). The shrimp and grits was the best dish.
The food was good. The tartar tacos are always a go to for us. The cocktails are excellent. We were seated almost immediately as we arrived right in time for our reservation. It was a busy Saturday night with lots of families, so it was a little on the loud side but not too bad. It was mostly the occasional high pitch sounds coming from the cartoons a few of the children were watching on devices.
We had a party of six upstairs near the kitchen entrance. My son and I both order the filet mignon medium rare. My son's filet came out so rare to the point it was cool in the middle. The management apologized and cooked another one. The second one came out the same as the first...rare. My filet was overcooked to the point of being well done. I just ate it. We will never return.
It was good but I don't think the food was amazing
Section we sat in was cold, many had jackets on or were asking to move. Very uneven temps throughout the restaurant unnoticed when visiting restrooms. Service was very good but food was just OK so not worth price. Kitchen went crazy with the old bay seasoning on fries and wings we ordered. I want to like this place but I've come to the determination that few places in One Loudoun are worth the prices they charge.
We were seated right away. We had an excellent server. We told our server we only get together once a month and we like to sit and talk. He hardly came over except to see if our food was ok, to fill our glasses and to see if anything else was needed.
This is the first time I've dined at Matchbox that I thought the food was not quite as good - that apple/cheese salad is usually good- the lettuce wasn't as good this time and the dressing not as good.
The sliders were not hot and were somewhat dry/overcooked. Server was wonderful.
Nice local restaurant. Great service (by Cristian), good value.
Fantastic restaurant with really good menu options for anyone. They have gluten free options, great pizza, drinks, salads are amazing! Our server was so great and the manager checked in on us as well. This is a very busy restaurant and they are managing it all very well.
The food was very good. However, the service was the worst I've ever had at the table. We sat at the bar first, and the bartender was awesome. I wish I knew his name to give him credit.
Took my wife and grandchildren for dinner. The pizzas were great for the kids. The chicken sandwich was great. The burger was cooked perfectly
As soon as I walked into Matchbox, I was very comfortable. Perhaps it was the wood-fired pizza oven or the sight of all of the firepits, but it just felt warm and inviting. Decor is like an old well-kept barn, and the service was fast and friendly. We had 6 burgers (mini, they come in 3,6 or 9) and a large pizza. The burgers were great and the pizza had a zing! Great the next day as leftovers. We will definitely go back!
awesome delicious food.great place with families and just girls
Three tries to get wife's order correct. My short ribs were tender but tasteless. The Spinach and Artichoke appetizer was outstanding
The food was great there! So were the cocktails. The bartender could have been a little more attentive but thats no big deal.
We had the calamari and spinach/crab dip, the dip was delicious ...the calamari was too greasy. We were served our appetizers without utensils/napkins. Took the servers 5 min to retrieve two sets for us.. The ambiance is really fun, however, the bathroom was poorly kept, 2 of the 4 stalls were flithy...toilet paper and personal hygiene products on the floor...etc.
Made a reservation for 7:45. Table not ready. 30 min wait. Host and hostess told that it was two birthday celebrations! Not recognized by anyone.
Placed by a table with screaming children that I asked several times to be quiet. Also asked their parents to quiet their children to no avail.
Atmosphere and food was great
I'm usually a fan but food was just ok this time. The Cobb salad had way too much dressing mixed in it. It actually gave me a stomach ache for a bit afterwards. And the rose sangria was bitter and the pulp from the strawberries kept clogging up the straw making it impossible to drink. It was probably the only cocktail I've ever ordered and barely touched. My mom really enjoyed her fried calamari and chicken sausage soup though. Our waiter was very attentive and accommodating to my mom asked for a different dip for her calamari and cheese for her soup.
I enjoy the food at Matchbox and service is always good, and sometimes really excellent. This visit, we were seated upstairs (a first) and the restaurant is a very energetic noise level throughout...music, open concept, wood and steel...but upstairs it was nearly impossible to hear anyone across the table speak. Real bummer that the tradeoff for the cool urban design is such booming noise and nothing to dampen all that sound. I would not recommend going there if you're hoping to have great conversation...but if you're with a group you're okay not hearing- it's a tasty place to dine!!
Service was very good and the chef had a special of Pimento cheese .....it was superb...it should be a regular on the menu with the bread!
It was terrific as usual. A bit busy so service wasn't up to it's normal par, but was still good. Noise level is nuts, but we don't care. It's just a super nice friendly restaurant that we frequent often.
Our first time to Matchbox! We were pleasantly surprised that everything we tried was amazing! And when we weren't sure which to pick, we resorted to recommendations from our server who was on point every time. The only thing that was a negative was the price of some of the items. We had a pretty hefty bill at the end of the night. But I would still recommend this spot and will definitely be going again!
Service was slow and they messed up the order- twice.
Wrong entree came out. Was told something was gluten feee and it wasn't.
Very loud, crowded restaurant. Hard to hear your table speak. Tables too close together.
Food (pizza & salads on this visit) and house wine are outstanding! This is about our 5th visit and it's a very busy restaurant but they seem to manage the crowd pretty well. We made the reservation on Open Table and were seated in the bar without being asked if we were ok with that. Initially we were not ok with it, as it was super loud and there were 3 of us wanting to talk. However, Nathan was our server and we quickly decided we'd deal with the loud noise just to have him as a server. He was excellent - so friendly, organized, knowledgeable about the menu and wine, etc. He really changed that situation right away so overall we were very happy! I would just suggest maybe asking people first if they are ok with that atmosphere - it's not for everyone, especially when you make a reservation in advance.
Very busy place. Sat us within 5 minutes of our reservation time, so that was good. However their food order/prep/ delivery processes are overwhelmed. One of our four meals never showed. The BS excuse was that it was "lost by the kitchen". How does that happen? They also delivered an appetizer we never ordered. On top of all that, our server had horrible body odor. The fact that he had to come back multiple times due to the missing order only made it worse.
To give some credit.. the manager came over to apologize for the missing meal, and then got it to us. Did not charge for that meal, the extra appetizer and bought my wife a another glass of wine.
We were there late afternoon on a Saturday. Service was slow and not great for what appeared to be a slow or less busy time of day. Food was good -- calamari was the best we've had recently and pizzas were good. The list of cocktail drinks to pick from was different, kind of strange, and not very tasty. We tried the Bourbon Crisp (kind of different), an Old Fashion (overwhelming with the cherry taste), a Mojito (too tart), and ordered a regular margarita (which is not on the menu and even with Patron was not good) and a vodka/cranberry which was the best of the day. Drinks were way overpriced certainly considering that we did not find any that we would order again.
We had a great date night at Matchbox. The service was amazing, our waiter was extremely friendly, and our food came out super fast. We ordered the meat pizza and tuna tacos (appetizer) and they were both AMAZING. Will definitely be dining here again soon!
Menu is great. Food is great. Matchbox just gets it right. A top choice always.
Very good food and service, but the noise level was a bit much for our liking.
The ambiance is good as is the location but the food is horrible. Will not go back.
Special day for Dad. Great service, attentive wonderful waiter. Salad and soup were good. Shrimp linguine was average, lacking garlic or flavor, black bean burger was average. Excellent drinks. 3/5 stars could improve food quality and flavor but beautiful restaurant and drinks.
Server seemed to forget about us. We waited a half-hour to place our order. Drinks were never refreshed. Waited a long time on our check. Just overall poor service.
Matchbox is a fun restaurant, great place for lunch and/or drinks.
Nice restaurant, reasonably priced. We shared the guacamole and cheese appetizer and a pizza.
Our server knew it was our first time there and treated us to a delicious appetizer - fried risotto balls in a tomato sauce. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. My husband had a crab cake sandwich that he proclaimed the best in the immediate area and had the crab soup with lumps of crab in it. I had the short ribs and they were delightful. We loved the atmosphere and can't wait to go when the weather is warmer so we can enjoy some of their outdoor seating.
Everyone was very kind, out hostess, to the host who gave us compliments as he walked us to our table. Our waiter, Giovanni, was very attentive and friendly with us. He made our New Year's Eve dinner a fun, delicious treat! We will definitely return. We had fast service and a wonderful experience!

#1 New Search Engine Converts To Insta-Porn Viewer.06-02-2009, 12:31 PMMicrosoft's New Search Engine Puts Porn in Motion
Tuesday, June 02, 2009
By Joseph Abrams
Your kids may get a bang out of Bing and that's not a good thing, Internet safety experts warned on Monday.
Bing, Microsoft's new search engine (www.bing.com), went live in the U.S. this weekend, aiming to challenge and possibly unseat industry titan Google.
But bloggers and Internet safety experts quickly discovered that one of Bing's "features" is that it takes only a few clicks for anyone of any age to view explicit pornographic videos without even leaving the search engine.
In its bid to beat Google, Microsoft has unveiled a slate of convenient features for Bing, including an "autoplay" tool that lets users preview videos simply by hovering a mouse over them.
That asset may become a liability, because users can get a taste of porn videos on Bing instead of having to go to a smutty Web site an innovation other search engines have yet to offer.
Technology blogger Loic Le Meur noticed the issue early Monday after testing video search on Bing.
What he found was a cornucopia of pornography that he said transformed the search engine into its very own pornographic Web site.
"You are now on a porn site without leaving Bing. Amazing," Le Meur wrote on his blog.
Bing, like other major search engines, lets users set filtering preferences at one of three levels strict, moderate or simply off.
Online safety advocates argue that search engines need to do much more to cut off underage access to pornography because the filters can be circumvented easily with just one click.
"It's a no-brainer for any kid," said Donna Rice Hughes, president and chairwoman of Enough Is Enough, a group that works to help parents protect children from online porn.
"From the standpoint of the new state-of-the-art search engine, [the video preview] is a really neat thing of course," Hughes said. "The flipside of that is that you've got an abundance of pornography out there."

i used it for a while, but went back to firefox after a few days, youtube has stuff all over the place asking you to use Chrome, does special stuff happen when you use chrome with youtube?order VPXL good try to have more inches ))
I do my best to avoid most everything microsoft. All I use of their software is Windows.Stand up for what is right, even if you have to stand alone.
Windows Live was great after Thanksgiving for online shopping "cash back deals"....you could use "buy it now" on ebay, and recieve a 30% rebate from Live. I saved alot of dough, took about 8 weeks to get one of the big rebates ($119) but the smaller rebates I had back in my paypal account within a week.

Lonely Vigil At Beth Steel Building Facing Demolition | News
LACKAWANNA, N.Y. -- If you drive the Skyway, you may have noticed the old Bethlehem Steel Administration building, that is slated to be demolished, is still standing.
That building remains intact for now despite all the predictions and expectations over the past few weeks that demolition would get underway.
It probably will happen at some point. But for now it is all quiet at the location on Fuhrmann Boulevard. There are excavators parked nearby and a contractor's construction site trailer.
But right now the only person there is John Nowak who is a member of the Lackawanna Industrial Heritage preservation group.
He has set up this tent and brought his sleeping bag and other supplies to weather the cold near the lake while he stages his lonely vigil and protest.
And he is determined to stay for now even at the risk of getting arrested. Nowak says police said it might happen but they have apparently accepted his presence for now.
Nowak says he would like to see the front portion and façade of the building saved for possible use as a museum or office space as part of a waterfront development plan. But he says he does not know if any developer would step forward to save it.
As for the actual demolition, we determined there was some asbestos abatement in the building. But there are still some issues to be resolved for the demolition contractor to really start tearing it down.
There is still a court order in place obtained by the City of Lackawanna for the building site owner Gateway to tear it down.
City officials say preservationists don't realize how unstable and dangerous the building really is.

After the recent royal wedding of Prince William and Princess Kate there is going to be more and more couples trying to pull off a royal wedding of their own. The main problem area for the grooms of future weddings is what will they wear to make them look like a Prince.
Prince William surprised many people when he chose to wear the Irish Guards Mounted Officer's uniform. His reason for wearing the scarlet red uniform was that he was awarded the rank of Colonel of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards by the Queen earlier in the year. In fact he could have worn the army uniform or the Royal Air Force uniform as he has served in all three armed services. His chosen outfit would usually be accompanied by a bearskin hat but William chose to wear a Forage Cap instead. It was the first time that the red of the Irish Guards had been worn at a Royal wedding since 1973.
William's best man was his brother Prince Harry and he chose to wear the Blue and Royals Officer's Uniform. Similarly to his brother he also wore a Forage cap and matching navy pants with a red stripe. Both brothers also wore simple black shoes with gold spurs,bright white gloves and they had matching gold waist belt sword slings without the swords attached. The Princes father Charles opted for the uniform of the Royal Navy along with s gold waist belt sword sling along with the sword unlike his sons but he did wear a matching Forgage cap and white gloves.
When guests were invited to attend the royal wedding they were given advice on what they should wear. Their invitation stated that they can wear a military uniform if they were a member of the armed forces. To wear a uniform to the wedding the guest would also need permission from their commanding officer to do so. They should also wear the hat to accompany their uniform outside the church and carry it under their arm when walking in. If the guest was not a member of the armed forces they were advised to wear a morning coat that was either black or grey with a matching top hat along with a grey pants with stripes. The guest was also advised to wear a waist coat with matching gloves, black shoes, a shirt that can be tied with cuff links and either a tie or cravat.
When to Choose a Custom Tuxedo For Your Wedding
It is important to look smart for any wedding you attend and a smart Wedding Suit is something you should invest in. Suits have a massive range of style and colour and before making your selection read some Wedding Suit Reviews before you take the plunge and shell out your hard earned cash. If you are considering hiring then it might be a good option to take out accidental suit hire damage insurance, which covers most forms of wedding attire. For the small additional cost this could save you a small fortune as many weddings involve a good drinking session.
The end result of any suit should mean that the man wearing it feels and looks comfortable. This will ensure you enjoy the day.

NBC Sochi Olympics coverage plan is long on digital
NBC announced coverage plans for the Olympics Feb. 6-23, and the emphasis is on digital.

Cable customers will have to sign in to access extra content online, where competition in 15 sports will be available via livestream (at NBCOlympics.com or on the NBC Sports Live Extra app).
Bob Costas will be primetime and late-night anchor for NBC's Sochi Olymmpics coverage, making him U.S. TV's first 10-time Olympics host.
Per the Dec. 19 NBC release:
The biggest Winter Olympics in history, set to take place in the biggest country in the world, will receive the most U.S. coverage in Winter Games history. NBCUniversal will present more than 1,539 hours of coverage of the XXII Olympic Winter Games from Sochi, Russia, across NBC, NBCSN, CNBC, MSNBC, USA Network and NBCOlympics.com.

Harbaugh to Premiere Master's Film
by Jim Amidon
April 18, 2011
Russ Harbaugh '06 will return to the Wabash campus on Tuesday, April 19 to premiere his new film,
Rolling on the Floor Laughing
. The screening is free and open to the public, and will be held in Hays Hall, room 104.
Rolling on the Floor Laughing
represents Harbaugh's master's degree thesis project at Columbia University. He will screen the film later this week at DePauw University before its New York City debut next week at the Columbia University Film Festival.
As an undergraduate, Harbaugh earned fame as the quarterback of Wabash's last undefeated football team. The 2005 squad, which he led, won the North Coast Conference title and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Playoffs. Harbaugh was honored as the NCAC's Offensive Player of the Year and received All-America honors.
He also made a pair of documentary films while a student at Wabash. The soft-spoken English major turned heads with his videos,
Beside Myself
(2005) and
Thy Loyal Sons
(2006), which ignited conversation and debate about the very essence of Wabash — masculinity, identity, and relationships.
The films earned Harbaugh the Phi Beta Kappa Prize in his senior year, and helped him gain acceptance in a master's degree program in film at Columbia University.
Now, nearly five years later, he has completed his education and is proud to premier his film at his alma mater.
"We shot the film in Indiana, in the home where I grew up, from a script that began merely as a conversation between a loving mother (mine) and her curious, needling son (me)," said Harbaugh. "It's a project inspired by films with modern, revisionist instincts toward autobiography — films like Maurice Pialat's
We Will Not Grow Old Together
— films that wrestle with reality while abiding the structures of fiction."
Harbaugh gives a brief description of his new film: "
Rolling on the Floor Laughing
is the story of a love-triangle between a middle-aged widow, a new lover in from out of town, and the woman's grown sons with whom she shares a candid, sometimes unsettling intimacy. The story takes place over the course of a birthday weekend, the night before and the day of a party."
Harbaugh has excelled in his graduate work at Columbia. He earned honors distinction in both screenwriting and directing, and had a celebrated apprenticeship under writer/director Eric Mendelsohn (pictured with Russ). Harbaugh worked with Mendelsohn on the film
3 Backyards
, which won the directing prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
"It's been a startling education, and has shown me the kind of personal and profound art that can be created when a group of interested friends and family and friends of friends and friends of family decide that they want to help," Harbaugh said.
During his junior year at Wabash, Harbaugh explored Wabash's history as a college for men and its many coeducation studies in
Beside Myself
. The 30-minute film also served as a metaphor for Harbaugh, who struggled through a difficult junior football season and was trying to work through his relationship with his twin brother, Barry.
A standing-room-only crowd of over 300 turned out for the film's screening in Salter Hall.
A year later — and following his record-shattering senior football season — he produced another film,
Thy Loyal Sons
, which followed three Wabash students in their daily routines at the College. That film examined issues of labels and the compartmentalization of Wabash. Harbaugh told the stories of an African American football player, a fraternity man going through Sphinx Club rush, and an openly gay theater major.

I'm willing to make a fair number of logic leaps for The Sarah Connor Chronicles, but one thing has bugged me since the first season: why the hell is John Connor in school? It's the sort of TV-device that makes no sense in the actual context of the series. John's old enough now to know everything he needs to know from public education; most places don't have classes on plastique and cyber-hacks, and I can't imagine writing eight pages on the feminist implications of The Awakening would be of much use to the future savior of the human race.
Maybe Sarah keeps forcing her son back to class to try and give his life some illusion of normalcy; given her immediate suspicion of John's "date" in "Automatic For The People," though, I'm doubting normalcy is something she knows or understands anymore. Besides, if everybody's so paranoid about keeping the kid alive, why send him into the arms of strangers for eight hours every weekday?
It comes down to plot, ultimately–writers need ways of introducing new characters and tensions, and school provides opportunities by the truckload. Like the "date"; while John is cutting class, a girl named Riley approaches him for one of those standard meet cutes that seem to happen all the damn time in movies. Seriously, is that all it takes? Look off into the distance with a frown on your face and eventually somebody's gonna make their move? Maybe I should stop taking my lithium and just wait around for a rainy day.
Still, of the two running plots in "Automatic," the mild teenage romance is probably the best. Riley is a manic pixie dream girl to be sure, but she does have some original elements; for one, she's not waif thin, and for another, while her goofiness charms John, there's never a sense that she's the one running the scene. Again we see a more confident Connor trying to figure his way through something–taking Riley to his new home, even standing down his mother's objections–and it's sort of sweet. And while the toy robot exchange was a little much, Riley's "Do you ever think about the future?" made for a nicely melancholic moment. Of course John thinks about the future. When is there ever time to think about anything else?
But young love isn't really the main focus of "Automatic." T:TSCC must have a script rule that every episode needs a big action climax, but while I appreciate the 'splosions and gunplay, I'm hoping that the power-plant arc from tonight isn't a taste of what's to come. The series has never been one for airtight plotting, but the set-up here is particularly egregious. Future-John sends a meat telegram back in time to let Sarah and Derek know that something's going down at the Serrano Point Power Plant, and that they need to get in touch with a "Greenway." Which they do; turns out it's Carl Greenway (Paul Schulze, aka Chapel from 24 and the Missionary Who Learned the Glory of Gun in Rambo), safety inspector and all around decent guy, and after some intel work, our heroes decide that there's trouble brewing for when the plant reactor goes back online. The cooling system isn't up to spec, and if the reactor turns on, it could meltdown and kill a heck of a lot of people; but if it stays offline, it will strip the future Resistance of a crucial energy source.
The reasoning here seems specious to me, even with a last minute reveal that shows that Sarah and Derek came to all the wrong conclusions. Why the hell would Skynet want the plant to melt down? So far, the A.I. has been somewhat subtle about it's fiddling with the past. If it really wanted to kill as many people as possible, it could send back a few waves of attack-bots and hope for the best; a meltdown just seems like asking for paradox problems.
The real silliness comes near the end, though, when we learn Greenway–the nice guy who made Sarah do her "I'm sad and lonely" face and reminded her of all her cancer fears–got killed in the night by a robot designed to take his place. Look, I'm willing to go the distance for this show, okay? I'm willing to overlook the obvious holes. But the idea that Skynet is now capable of creating Terminators that look exactly like people in the past is pretty weak. I initially assumed we were dealing with a T-1000, possibly even the T-1000 from last week, but nope, this is just a standard issue T that didn't bother to do its homework enough to catch Greenway's arm scar. Cameron takes him out with an assist from Sarah and her machine gun, and the plant is saved; only to be scooped up by Ms. Weaver, this time wearing her middle-aged black man suit.
Given Cromartie's resurrection as that dude from No Country For Old Men, I guess there is some precedence for personality theft. But the Greenway twist goes from pulp-lunacy, which I very much dig, to plain old who gives a damn sloppiness. If the robots can pretend to be anyone, if they can infiltrate anywhere, the game is over. To be honest, once a super-sophisticated computer intelligence has access to time travel, humanity is pretty much a done deal regardless. I can let that slide–it's fun to point out plot-holes, but that doesn't keep me from enjoying all those afore mentioned 'splosions–but there needs to be at least a sense of rules and structure in the background. Nothing too expansive; just the feeling that, all right, we'll go this far, but no further.
Grade: B-
Stray Observations
—Sarah's radiation phobia was forced, even with the cancer justification. And having her faux-"crapped up" seemed like an excuse to get Lena Headey naked and wet again.
—Cameron's evolution continues, and it's one of the show's strongest elements; her two brief exchanges with John were great.
—The animated short about nuclear energy gave me Jurassic Park and Simpsons flashbacks. Simultaneously. I may need to lie down.
—So is the implication that the Connors are moving into the home of the late, unlamented Mr. Tuck from last ep? Man, I really hope not.
—I may be wrong, but I don't think it's quite that easy to avert a meltdown.

Linux Journal Readers Choice Awards are Open
Do you like KDE and its applications? Don't hesitate to tell the world. A good possibility is the 2003 Linux Journal Readers' Choice Awards where voting is now running. "Linux Journal, the leading magazine of the Linux community, is pleased to announce that voting in the 2003 Readers' Choice poll is officially underway. Make your vote count as you tell us your favorite distribution, development tools, LJ column and much more." Voting closes July 25. The winners will be published in the November issue of Linux Journal, which will probably come out a few weeks after the KDE Contributor's Conference wraps up.
Nove Hrady Conference
There's the Linux Journal winners announced in November, and there's the developer conference before that in August. I just didn't get the connection between the two. You mentioned it in the news item as if there is one.

Re: Nove Hrady Conference
Linux Journal could cover not only the contest winners but also the KDE conference in the same issue so its readership will notice that KDE will already have improved even more at the time of reading.
Some of their categories are quite strange (or equipped with strange choices) but nevertheless there's much to do for KDE enthusiasts ;)

So, gnome has already discussed it, and seeing the options proposed, their awards are biased, even though maybe more by mistake and ignorance than bad will.
From http://www.gnomedesktop.org/article.php?sid=1199&mode=thread&order=0&tho... :
Btw, I'm not a gnome addict: I'm using both projects since both have their advantages.

Re: we-didn't-post-this-at-first
Well, it's pretty obvious who will win what. KDE has won best DE for the last four or five years or so (when the options were between 4 or 5 picks).. and OpenOffice is going to win best office program.
As for Bluecurve vs. GNOME. vs XD2, I don't see how Bluecurve splits just GNOME. It splits KDE in the same way.
Enlightenment and WindowMaker are usable with both GNOME and KDE (I use the latest KDE with Enlightenment), and thus, they split KDE and GNOME in the same way.
I think the gnome-footnotes guys are just seeing competition between KDE and GNOME when there isn't any.

Re: we-didn't-post-this-at-first
Given the head start they had on voting, they will probably win this useless poll anyway.
By anon at Sun, 2003/07/06 - 5:00am
Re: we-didn't-post-this-at-first
Yeah, that's my point. I was just quoting from gnome news since it was already discussed there and not only in term of kde vs. gnome but just that: this poll is useless.
By Henri at Mon, 2003/07/07 - 5:00am
Re: we-didn't-post-this-at-first
You mean, every poll is useless unless your favourite wins?

Lipscomb's Bisons closed out their December schedule with their last non-conference game of the season, an 83-54 loss at the University ofArkansas Monday night in Fayetteville .
The loss ended a six-game winning streak for the Bisons, 6-2. Arkansas is 10-1, its best start since 1995.
The Bisons kept the game close early sparked by the shooting of Fisk, but Jonathon Modica sparked the victory for Arkansas with a team-leading 16 points. He was one of four Arkansas players in double figures.
When the Bisons led 12-7 it marked the first time since the Missouri game Dec. 7 that Arkansas had trailed in the first half..
With the Bisons leading 14-12, Modica scored one of his three 3-pointers to give Arkansas a 15-14 lead a little over nine minutes into the first half. Arkansas would never t rail again the rest of the way.
James Poindexter finished with 12 points for the Bisons. All four of his field goals were 3-pointers.
The Bisons were more than competitive on the boards, as Arkansas held only a slight edge at 35-34. Shaun Durant hauled down a game-high 13 rebounds for the Bisons.
The Bisons will not return to action until Jan. 3 when they travel to Gardner-Webb for an Atlantic Sun Conference game.

10 Worst Time Wasters at Work
Tania Khadder | NursingLink
Culprit #2: Over-Reliance on Email
We've all become addicted to email as a form of communication. It's convenient. It's also a great way to keep an electronic trail of your correspondence (helpful if you're ever challenged on a decision or occurrence). But a lot of time is wasted on back and forth emails that would be more easily resolved as a verbal conversation. Don't even get me started on the oh-so-common "reply-to-all" debacle.
The solution: If there's something that needs to be discussed, opt for a face-to-face conversation. Is the person you need to speak to on the other coast? Call them. And if you still want a written record, write up a quick email after the conversation outlining where things left off and send to all relevant parties. On the surface it seems like more steps, but it can mean the difference between an hour of work and a two-day back and forth email discussion.

I can never resist snagging glowy colours for Autumn (Illamasqua Scarab and Viridian being two of my favourites) and so this was instantly on my 'need' list from the Skyfall collection. It really didn't disappoint - like those two, it glows from within with this incredible understated sheen. Beyond gorgeous. The colour is a very inky purple - it's a blurple, really, but a blurple by virtue of the fact that it's purple with a dark blue base. It looks like a deep indigo and some lights, and a screaming purple in others. It's also completely reminded me of my violet obsession - it's probably my favourite colour, but one that doesn't really suit my colouring, so I try to keep it away from my face - on nails it's perfect.

2003 Jeep Rubicon Wrangler - DrivelinesPosted in Project Vehicles on February 1, 2002
Factory Hard-CoreThe New '03 Jeep Rubicon WranglerHow would you build the perfect hard-core Jeep Wrangler? Would you select Dana 44 front and rear axles with 4.10 gears, lockers, and disc brakes? Would you slide a 4.0:1 low-range transfer case in it with a fixed-yoke rear output? Maybe some diamond-plate rocker protection? How about some 31-inch Goodyear MT/R tires on special aluminum rims? OK, we'd probably select 33-inchers or bigger, but what if you could buy this rig with a factory warranty, and finance it through the dealership?
Yes, that's right. The new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is the hottest factory-production 4x4 ever built, and sometime this summer you can buy one right off the showroom floor. This offering should blow any other stock vehicle off the trail. With this combo and a standard tranny, a highly respectable 66.26 crawl ratio is attained-right out of the box! Add a mild lift and bigger tires and you've got nearly the perfect hard-core Wrangler.
Everyone has wished that auto makers would listen to the average guy and build a killer 4x4 on the assembly line rather than leaving it up to us to piece together a trail rig. It's what many Jeepers have dreamed of and what a few industry types suspected was just around the corner. Now it's here.
Introduced at the 2002 North American Auto Show in January, the full production model is supposed to hit the dealers around July. Of course we intend to snag one earlier to give this new superhero a spin in the rocks and tell you the whole story. Luckily we got the scoop on this one first.
In fact, if you've been collecting 4WOR, you can check out "Instant Hero" (Oct. '96) and "Instant Superhero" (Dec. '96), both of which are about our famous buildup of one of the first TJs around, long before they took the market by storm. We found that by upgrading the factory offering with a few well-thought-out aftermarket accessories, the TJ Wrangler could become nearly unstoppable. Eventually we had to return Elvis (as our Wrangler was affectionately known) to Chrysler, where the engineers couldn't wait to get their hands on it. Elvis was driven to death, then torn apart and analyzed.
We're happy to say that 4WOR helped build a better Wrangler in 1996 and helped spearhead this new Wrangler Rubicon. Jeep engineers knew all along how great these upgrades were but needed Elvis to convince the powers-that-be that a factory offering was not only feasible but would give them a chance to do it better. Better? You bet. With a factory warranty, factory engineering, and factory financing in a super-hero package, the new Jeep Rubicon kicks ass. How can we say that without having driven it? Maybe we have. At any rate, we've seen it, touched it, and drooled over it, and we know what the components are. Heck, we helped to develop them!-Rick Pw

Free, Gratis, ComplimentaryJeep Historical Display Opens at Walter P. Chrysler MuseumDear 4-Wheel & Off-Road Reader,We at Jeep extend an offer to all 4x4 club members for free entrance to the Jeep Historical exhibit at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum on any Saturday or Sunday in February 2002. Those who visit the exhibit will have their name entered in a raffle for prizes, including free entrance to a 2002 Camp Jeep event, a Comanche Classic Jeep bike, a Jeep TV/flashlight/radio/ lantern, Jeep sunglasses, or a Jeep Commando 16 Mountain Board.
The Walter P. Chrysler Museum and "The Mighty Jeep: A Legend Turns 60" exhibit in Auburn Hills, Michigan, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. If you're not a member of a 4x4 club you are still welcome to set your sights on the wonders of the 4x4 world for a general admission price of $6. The exhibit runs until the end of February. For detailed insights on the exhibit please visit www.chryslerheritage.com or call 888/456-1924 for more information.
Jeep FYI: The exhibit comprises 26 historical Jeep vehicles starting with the Willys MA, MB, and the CJ2A. Other Jeep novelties include Jeep toys and display boards with Jeep advertisements, cartoons, and famous Jeep owners. The toys and novelties have origins from around the world, with a stainless steel cigarette box and lighter in the shape of a Jeep vehicle from Germany and a Dinky die-cast toy Commando Jeep from England. Such books as the 1944 children's story The Little Jeep by Peggy Griffin Ayers and Jerry the Jeep by Edith Thacher Hurd are also on display. The progression of Jeep slogans from the '40s "The Sun Never Sets on the Mighty Jeep" to the current "Jeep. There's Only One" will hang from the ceiling.
Campfire TalkThe Ascender, American Isuzu's newest SUV, will go on sale this fall, replacing the Trooper. The new Isuzu flagship will share a platform with the Chevy Trailblazer and GMC Envoy.
Ford plans an extensive restyling and engineering for the '03 Expedition and new sheetmetal for the '03 F-150.
Delphi Automotive Systems is the maker of the four-wheel steering system Quadrasteer that automakers such as General Motors will use on pickups and SUVs like the '02 Sierra Denali pickup.
Rah! Rah! Rah! The Duramax diesel cheerleaders at GM hope to gain at least 25 percent of the diesel truck market with the turbocharged V-8, which it developed with Isuzu. The big three diesel competitors are the GM/Isuzu Duramax at 300 hp, the Ford/Navistar Power Stroke with 250 hp (auto) and 275 hp (six-speed), and the Dodge/Cummins inline-six with 245 hp with the six-speed.
Sources say that parts sharing is what it's all about for DC and Mercedes. Models like the Jeep Grand Cherokee may be outfitted with the Mercedes vehicle stability control system.
Dodge Heavy-Duty AxlesWe can keep a secret as good as the next guy, but we just have to share this tidbit. Now that the new Dodge Ram 1500 11/42-ton 4x4 is coming out with IFS and the Dana lost the axle contract with Dodge for the truck line, we were afraid that the 31/44- and 1-ton Rams would be similarly afflicted. After the news that American Axle Manufacturing (which makes most of the GM axles) snagged the contract for the new Rams, we weren't sure what was up. The good news is that a '03 Ram 1-ton was spotted wearing massive AAM live axles front and rear, similar in size and design to the Dana 60 front and 70 rear. While these are all-new designs, the reputation of AAM and the size of these axles instill confidence that the Dodge Ram big boys won't be strutting the sissy IFS stuff under the chassis as the 1500 does. Thank goodness for real trucks and solid front axles!
Tools and Clothes of the TradeAs much as we tend to do things ourselves, we always appreciate the help others give us when we're on the trail. This year our friends at Woolrich stepped up to the plate to keep us toasty warm on our 4x4 of the Year event with logo'ed shirts and jackets. This way you'll recognize us on the trail when we come to a snow event near you, and hopefully you'll invite us to stay awhile around your campfire. You can't get these items with our logo on it, but the same quality apparel is available at www.woolrich.com.
Also, our buddies at Schrade stocked us up with this nifty Tough Tool should we be in a pinch in the outback. It's a good thing we had it along on 4x4 of the Year. We busted a jack handle and needed this beauty to crank the vehicle up to change a flat. Pick up your own emergency Tough Tool at www.schradeknives.com.

On the Road With... The Hills Are Alive With the Sound of MercedesDo Re G500 Fa So La Ti DoYodeling and Mercedes go hand in hand in Graz, Austria, where the limited-production '02 G500 is handcrafted. The new U.S. versioned G500 (called the Gelaendewagen in Europe) was introduced last fall as a rugged yet luxurious, technologically advanced piece of off- and on-road machinery. The V-8-powered G-class' roots run deep into military motoring. The new G500 chassis uses a solid-axle suspension similar to its ancestors. The front and rear solid-axle suspension use a four-link design and track bar with coil springs and four-wheel disc brakes.
An all-aluminum 5.0L engine, the same that you'll find in the S-Class and SL Roadster, pumps out 292 hp, and that's not all. The V-8 uses a twin-spark plus three-valve-per-cylinder (two intake and one exhaust) design, which allows the dual-path intake to boost torque at low speeds for a quicker throttle response. Attached to the V-8 is a five-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with driver-adaptive shift logic, and Touchshift selectable manual control. If climbing steep grades is a concern, the G can handle grades up to 36 degrees and is stable on lateral slopes of up to 24 degrees.
Move over, Julie Andrews. The G500 is the only U.S. vehicle with three mechanically locking differentials (switches on the dash). Mechanically locking differentials reduce wheelspin in extremely low traction situations and can be engaged anytime the G is off road.

Political & Environmental Beat*The Transportation Recall Enhancement Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act passed by the U.S. Congress last year requires that automakers install a tire pressure monitoring system that warns drivers when their tires are underinflated. In addition to the annoying computer flash warning and beeping, tire pressure monitoring systems place smaller aftermarket tire and wheel businesses at risk because of the additional compliance issues. The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) is working to ensure that the rule have the least economic impact as possible and that servicing information is shared with the independent repair industry. The rule could take effect as early as October 2003.
*A National Research Council (NRC) study recommends that smog tests be aimed at vehicles that are the worst polluting and then verify the repairs to ensure that the vehicle is in compliance with state emissions laws. The report found that older, malfunctioning vehicles make up 10 percent of the nation's fleet but emit approximately 50 percent of vehicular pollutants. The only problem? Fairness. The report suggested that targeting these vehicles is unfair because these vehicles are more likely to be owned by low-income people.
*Iowa's bill to set a maximum frame and body height failed to pass in this year's state legislative session. Sources say that the bill will be reintroduced next year.
*France has seen dramatic growth in 4x4 sales. In 1995 the number of registered 4x4s was 30,000; by 2000 that number had more than doubled, to 68,000. Popular models include Toyota, Lexus, Mitsubishi, and Land Rover.

Humane Society International: Canada Should Follow Russia's Lead; Ban Commercial Seal Slaughter
MONTREAL — With Canada's annual slaughter of baby seals scheduled to begin next week, Humane Society International calls upon the Canadian government to follow Russia's example and ban the commercial seal slaughter. Russian government ministers announced a ban Wednesday on the killing of seals younger than one year old, citing public support for ending the killing as its primary reason for the ban.
"The Russian government listened to its citizens and ended their seal hunt," Rebecca Aldworth, director of Humane Society International/Canada, said. "We call on Stephen Harper to act now on behalf of the overwhelming majority of Canadians, and put a final end to the Canadian seal slaughter."
As was the case in Russia, Canada's commercial seal slaughter targets baby seals, and is demonstrably cruel. Ninety-seven percent of the seals killed in Canada are younger than three months old, and most are just one month old or younger at the time of slaughter. Veterinarians, independent journalists and animal-welfare observers continue to report unacceptable cruelty at the Canadian seal hunt, including seal pups cut open while conscious; seals showing responses to pain after being impaled on metal hooks and dragged across the ice; and wounded seals left to suffer in agony. Veterinary experts have repeatedly concluded that Canada's commercial seal hunt cannot be humane because of the environmental conditions in which it operates and the speed at which the killing must be conducted.
Seal hunters in Canada are commercial fishermen who earn, on average, a tiny fraction of their annual incomes from killing seals. Even in Newfoundland, where about 90 percent of sealers live, the slaughter accounts for less than one-half of 1 percent of the GDP.
The European Parliament will vote in just a few weeks on a proposal to ban trade in seal products in the European Union, potentially removing one of the most important markets for Canadian seal products.
Humane Society International will be on the ice floes to document the killing when Canada's commercial seal hunt opens next week.
Facts about Canada's Commercial Seal Hunt:
- Canada's commercial seal hunt is the world's largest slaughter of marine mammals, with more than 1 million seals killed in the past four years.
- Each year, suffering is documented at the commercial seal hunt, including seals cut open while responding to pain, conscious seals impaled on steel spikes and dragged across the ice floes, and wounded seals left to suffer.
- Veterinary experts say the commercial seal hunt is inherently inhumane because of the physical environment in which the seal hunt operates and the speed at which it must be conducted.
- Ninety-seven percent of the seals killed in the commercial seal hunt are younger than three months old at the time of slaughter. Many have yet to take their first swim or eat their first solid meal when they are killed.
- Sealers are commercial fishermen, who earn on average less than five percent of their incomes from killing seals — the remainder from fisheries including crab, shrimp and lobster.
- In 2008, the landed value of the seal hunt in Canada was less than $7 million.
- Canada exports nearly two-thirds of its seafood to the United States producing $2.5 billion annually for the Canadian economy. In 2005, The Humane Society of the United States launched a boycott of Canadian seafood products as a means of pressuring the Canadian fishing industry and government to stop the seal hunt.
- Since the ProtectSeals seafood boycott was launched, more than 600,000 individuals and more than 5,000 grocery stores and restaurants have pledged to avoid some or all Canadian seafood until the commercial seal hunt is ended for good.
- In recent years, 10 countries have either banned their trade in seal products or announced their intentions to do so. The EU is currently considering a prohibition on seal product trade.
- Nigel Barker, noted photographer and judge from "America's Next Top Model," is a spokesperson for the campaign. Barker accompanied HSI/HSUS staff to the ice floes this past spring to photograph the seal nursery and document the hunt.

The full scale exercise at Safety-Kleen on Oct. 4 was very successful and involved all emergency personnel including Fire/Rescue departments, EMS, Sheriff's Office, KSP and Coroner's office with employees of the plant acting as victims of an explosion. We also had an excellent exercise at Homestead Nursing Center on June 21 which simulated a boiler explosion and also involved Fire/Rescue, EMS and Henry County Sheriff's office in the evacuation of residents and staff of that facility. Both events had good media coverage by the Henry County Local.

March 10, 2010 Of Cabbages And Kings Earthly Delights Collection 2010
An investigation into post World War II fashion and the return to nature. The collection draws from the Belle Epoque ideal of long skirts, tiny waists and beautiful fabrics, traditional concepts of femininity, and the notion of 'flower women.
This combined heightened technical knowledge from a combination of vintage couture techniques learnt from studding at London College of Fashion and an internship at Alexander McQueen women's wear. The result, hip-emphasizing skirts, lace-edged slips, and petticoats that are hybridized into modern variations. Reworking classic wasp-waisted silhouette to a strong modern aesthetic. The garments range from padded-hip coats, elegant evening gowns, strong-shouldered tops and skirts. All presented in a stunning palette of yellow, raspberry and lavender contrasted against black and white.
Artist Tane Andrews and costumier Kira Goodey formed Australian fashion label – OF CABBAGES & KINGS – back in 2005, and have enjoyed huge success with their collections. Drawn together by a mutual respect for fine design, architectural history and insect entomology, Andrews + Goodey sculpted their influences into wearable inimitable pieces which are at once both vulgar and eerily beautiful. The duo's foray into jewellery design carried immediate success, and saw the launch of three critically acclaimed collections. Their refined and delicate interpretations of shudder-inducing insects and anatomical parts earned them exposure in Vogue Living Australia, Oyster Magazine and a host of independent publications, and awards were not far behind. OC&K were selected as finalists for SOYA (Quantas spirit of youth awards) in 2007 and formed part of the final 18 designers chosen for Design Now!, a national competition showcasing Australia's most promising design talent.
It seemed natural that OC&K would take their distinct design aesthetic to fashion design, and 2008 witnessed the inaugural OC&K fashion collection. Twisting the same macabre subject matter the duo had become known for into wearable fabric pushed the label to a higher level both creatively and publicly. Their first collection was snapped up by Perth fashion Mecca Dilettante and the duo soon took their talents to London for an internship with fashion heavy weight, the late + great Mr Alexander McQueen.
From London they weaved their magic into the Australian spring/summer collection, to be shown at 2009 Style Aid and Perth Fashion Festival. The duo soon caught the eye of Canadian electro band Dandi Wind, who demanded a series of costumes for film clips and an upcoming tour. Clad in OC&K garments, Dandi Wind writhed her way through Asia and into cross-continental living rooms, and in an instant OC&K went global. The culminating point came in Dandi Wind's appearance, resplendent in OC&K, at the American music festival South by South West, in 2008.
The success in 2009 has continued unchecked, with OC&K's current winter collection debuting at London Alternative Fashion Week to an overwhelming response. Poised for international recognition the ambitious young designers from WA have London Fashion Week 2010 in their sights as part of the New Generation category and are determined to make the international fashion industry sit up and take stock of the talent Australia has to offer.

Looking great!How is the grass/ticks/ivy situation out there? I'm wanting to get one more go round before I skedaddle and am hoping to see it in its element!
Just to let you all know... Permethrin, the main chemical used to spray for tick's, in a gross estimate of about 150 acres (the land that is used for the Disc Golf Course), would cost about $2500 for just the chemical application. Not including the man hours / spray equipment. The best prevention of tick's is consistant mowing of less than 4", thus why most ball golf courses never need to spray for ticks, and why it is expensive to do so. This also only gives about a 90 day residual, because of the EPA's dislike of long residual chemicals. One good application of Dursban would keep the little buggers away for years... dang the EPA for keeping us cancer free.

Scissors for Sandy Benefits Storm Victims
Christine Zilinski, owner of Salon Concrete in Red Bank, New Jersey, created Scissors for Sandy, a nationwide cut-a-thon to provide relief to thousands of devastated and displaced Hurricane Sandy victims, many of whom received free haircuts at the event.
Scissors for Sandy was held in the ballroom of the Berkeley Hotel in Asbury Park, New Jersey and more than 50 stylists donated their time, including guest artists Nick Berardi of Wella Education & NickEducation.com., Traci Sakosits, Creative Director Sassoon Academy, and Randy Taylor & Gerard Scarpaci, co-founders of Hairbrained. Scissors for Sandy raised $27,000 to benefit two local organizations, Heroes Restore the Shore and The Stephen Siller Tunnel To Towers Foundation. Both programs donate directly to those affected by Hurricane Sandy
"The aftermath of Sandy has been a surreal experience. Many of our longtime friends and clients have lost their homes, but one thing is for sure, they have not lost their spirit," says Christine Zilinski. "I have volunteered in some of the hardest hit communities and we are working together to clean, and eventually rebuild, our community. This disaster will always be a part of us. I created Scissors for Sandy to help ease the burden of those who are suffering the most."
Zilinski acknowledge the support of numerous manufactures and distributors including P&G Professional, Davines, Takara Belmont, and DePasquale Salon Systems, plus Lush Cosmetics, Progesterone.com, Number 4 Hair Care, Kitschen Catering and Sugar Rush.

This boat is stunning with an Awlgripped Flag Blue (very dark) shiny hull with a Claret red boot stripe and gold cove stripe. The bottom is copper. The deck is an off-white cream and the mast and boom have been painted to match. The owner has had lots of extra gear installed to make it comfortable for cruising. She sleeps 4 in two cabins with ample storage. The cushions were redone in 2003. The engine was overhauled in 1994. This is a very well built boat, great for cruising – good performer – solid and safe.

The Lansing City Council voted Thursday night to annex a piece of land on the city's southwestern edge planned as the site of a new high school.
The Lansing City Council voted Thursday night to annex a piece of land on the city's southwestern edge planned as the site of a new high school.
Earlier this month, the Lansing Board of Education submitted a resolution requesting the voluntary annexation to the city. Lansing Mayor Billy Blackwell said the measure allows the school district to move forward on its construction.
"Site utilities, needs and transportation issues necessitates platting and annexation," he said.
In November, the district asked voters within its boundaries to approve a $73 million bond issue, the centerpiece of which is the construction of a new high school and adjacent district athletic facilities. The new building is scheduled to be open by the start of the 2015 school year.
Councilman Tony McNeill asked what the city might be "signing up" for by approving the annexation, given that the site will need to have water and sewer utilities extended to it and could possibly require transportation improvements to accommodate increased traffic. John Jacobson, the city's community development superintendent, said the answer was none, for now.
"The improvements that are going to happen on that site are a product of development and planning," he said. "You're not having any financial commitment on this, based on annexation."
The council approved an ordinance recognizing the annexation.

Orioles Edge Twins, Liriano 2-1; Capps Out Indefinetly
The Twins lost 2-1 Wednesday night to Baltimore. Tommy Hunter threw 7 1/3 innings with 6 hits and 1 earned run allowed to get the win. Francisco Liriano threw 6 innings with 4 hits and 2 earned runs allowed to take the loss. Liriano gave up a 2-run homerun to Adam Jones in the first inning to Baltimore. Josh Willingham hit a solo homerun for the only Twins' run. Willingham was 2-3 and Trevor Plouffe was 2-3 for Minnesota.
The Twins are 38-53 and are 12 games back of the White Sox for first place in the American League Central. Minnesota will host Baltimore again today at 12:10pm, pregame on WJON at 11:40. Righthander Cole DeVries (2-2) gets the start on the mound for the Twins and lefthander Wei Yin Chen (7-5) gets the start on the mound for the Orioles.
Twins' closer Matt Capps has irritation in his rotator cuff in his right shoulder and is now shutdown and out indefinitely. Twins General Manager Terry Ryan hopes Capps can heal with rest and therapy and avoid surgery. Jared Burton and Glen Perkins will continue to handle the closer role for the Twins.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- The Alabama House of Representatives has approved several abortion restrictions, including one that bans them once a fetal heartbeat is detected.
Bill sponsor Republican Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin said Tuesday that a heartbeat is universally accepted as an indication of life.
A heartbeat can happen as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.
If it wins approval, the legislation that moves next to the Senate would tie Alabama with North Dakota as having the most stringent abortion law in the country. It is a direct challenge to the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion up until a fetus is considered viable. Opponents called the bill blatantly unconstitutional.
North Dakota approved a similar law last year, but a federal judge put it on hold while the legal challenge plays out in court.

"Rebounding has been the common denominator for us," Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson said. "In the games we have gotten beat we were outrebounded.
"You have to be able to rebound the basketball or you have to win the 50-50 balls which are loose balls rolling around on the floor. Every possession is critical."
Sanderson has put all of his players on a rebound quota system based on their per game average and their minutes played.
"Against Belmont Robert Boyd and Jordan Burgason were a plus three and Brandon Brown was a plus four," Sanderson said. "But Adnan Hodzic was a minus two and Josh Slater was a minus five. If everybody gets a plus we are in business."
The Bisons have won their last two games in a row and three of their last four heading into the Stetson game. Stetson has lost its last four games.
The two teams met in DeLand, Fla., Jan. 3 with Stetson winning 76-66. Stetson held a 39-36 rebounding advantage. The Bisons committed 17 turnovers and Stetson made 11.
"We got beat at Stetson for a lot of reasons, but they got all of the 50-50 balls," Sanderson said. "Not only did they get all of them but they made us pay dearly because they made threes when they got them.
"We want to give the other team one bad shot and try to rebound it. We have to be good defensively and pay attention to detail. We have to know their personnel."
The Bisons are 12-8 overall, 7-4 in the Atlantic Sun. Stetson is 6-15, 4-6 in the conference.
The Bisons are led by Hodzic with 19.3 points and eight rebounds per game. Hodzic is average 19.9 points in A-Sun games. Slater is averaging 16.6 points per game. Burgason is averaging 9.9 points.
Stetson is led by Ridge Graham with 13.6 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. Corey Walden is averaging 10.8 points.
"Stetson is going to play a zone," Sanderson said. "We have to understand what is a good shot or a bad shot against a zone. We have to do a good job of attacking their zone.
"If the wrong guy gets the shot early and shoots it then we are back in the old situation. We haven't done this against a zone team. We will find out where we are against Stetson."
A busy weekend of basketball continues Sunday at 2 when Florida Gulf Coast visits Allen Arena.
