Valdosta Regional Airport is getting a new state of the art fire station. As work begins on the $3 million project, airport officials hope to get money Lowndes County committed to pay for another major improvement.
Of the 104 airports in Georgia, the Valdosta Airport is one of only nine that flies commercial airlines. To keep this 1970's airport competing, a new state of the art fire station was needed.
"Not only is it going to enhance safety for the traveling public but its also going to set the architectural standard for this side of the air field," said Jim Galloway, Valdosta Airport Executive Director.
The funding for the $3 million project mostly came from the Federal Aviation Administration. There's another airport project the county committed to help fund using SPLOST revenue, but airport officials haven't seen any cash.
"People aren't buying and SPLOST comes from sales tax and of course you know what the economy's been like for the past four years," said Lowndes Co. Commission Chairman, Ashley Paulk.
The county projected SPLOST VI would generate $180 million but its only reached $150 million so far. County leaders promised $900,000 for a $2.2 million hanger project in 2010, but they've only delivered $750,000. The airport got a loan from the City of Valdosta to pay off the project.
"If the money were to pick up we would give them their allotted share, but if the money's not there, it's not there," said Paulk.
Galloway says he's hopeful the county will pay the remaining balance since SPLOST VI doesn't end until the end of 2013. For now he's just focused on the new fire station.
In two weeks construction will begin and in 15 months they'll have a brand new Aircraft Rescue Firefighting station.
Galloway says the next improvement he wants to add is a passenger boarding bridge.
Right now, there are three flights a day from the Valdosta Airport to Atlanta.

Vulnerability in GNU "tar"
Linux distributor Red Hat has discovered a vulnerability in the GNU "tar" program that could allow attackers to overwrite files.
Red Hat describes the vulnerability as a directory traversal error, stating that attackers could use manipulated archvies to exploit the bug. "../" directory entries give the attacker the ability to overwrite files for which the executing user has write permissions. The security hole is due to faulty "contains_dot_dot()" function in the "names.c" file. Both Red Hat and the Secunia security service have classified the vulnerability as moderate.
The error affects GNU tar version 1.18 and older. An update and a patch by Red Hat are already available. Other distributions can be expected to follow suit. Users are advised to update their systems.

Whether you go out shooting with a camera and a single lens, or full kit with multiple bodies, lenses and a laptop, your needs for protection in adverse conditions are the same – cradle the equipment in a soft enclosure, and keep it dry no matter what.

Dave Koz brings along a few of his famous friends for a Christmas concert at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre on Friday, Nov. 30. Photo: Greg Allen
Carolina Chocolate Drops
These young African-American musicians are keeping the traditional string-band music of the Carolina Piedmont alive. Since they released "Genuine Negro Jig" in early 2010, Justin Robinson has departed the band and three new musicians have joined founders Rhiannon Giddens and Dom Flemons. Human beatboxer Adam Matta, multi-instrumentalist Hubby Jenkins and cellist Leyla McCalla are on board for "Leaving Eden," the follow-up to the band's debut. With the Two Man Gentlemen Band.
8 p.m. Nov. 30. $22; $20 in advance. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 404-524-7354.
Dave Koz and Friends Christmas Tour
Things will be smooth, mellow and festively seasonal as pop-jazz fusionist Koz and his friends fill the Cobb Energy Centre with the Christmas spirit. Joining Koz this year are pianist and composer David Benoit; Javier Colon, winner of NBC's "The Voice"; and Sheila E.
8 p.m. Nov. 30. $38-$78. Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, 2800 Cobb Galleria Parkway, Atlanta. 770-916-2800.
This British Columbian duo generates an awful lot of sound for a two-piece. Even more impressive is the melodic invention they add to the garage-rock clang on "Celebration Rock," an album that received even more glowing praise than the band's debut. Expect to see it on many year-end best-of lists in the coming weeks.
9 p.m. Dec. 1. $15. Terminal West, 887 W. Marietta St. N.W., Atlanta.
Winter Wonder Jam
This series of shows kicks off with Justin Townes Earle, a talented young singer-songwriter who was named in honor of Texas songwriting legend Townes Van Zandt. That's a lot to live up to, but he just keeps getting better. He's joined by Deer Tick's John McCauley. Dec. 8 brings Marc Broussard, David Ryan Harris and Ben Deignan to the park. AWOLNation plays Dec. 15 and a still undetermined artist will play Dec. 22.
6:30 p.m. Dec. 1. $15; $10 in advance. Atlantic Station's Central Park, 18th Street and E. District Avenue, Atlanta.
Dan Bern
Bern's a folksy troubadour with a rock 'n' roll heart and the all too rare skill of combining humor and intelligence. Sometimes he rocks with a Tom Petty-like heartland rumble; at other times he delivers musings with quiet acoustic backing. "Drifter," released earlier this year, is his first studio album in six years, but he's making up for the wait with another new album of baseball-themed tunes called "Doubleheader."
8 p.m. Dec. 2. $25; $20 in advance. Eddie Owen Presents at the Red Clay Theatre, 3116 Main St., Duluth. 404-478-2749.
99X Mistle Toe Jam 2012 with Bush
After fronting British grungy-come-latelies Bush in the '90s, Gavin Rossdale married No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani and formed the blandly Bush-like Institute.
Then Rossdale went solo, with slightly better musical results, but he found himself trying to sell last decade's goods to a world that pays far more attention to his wife. So now we get Bush 2.0, the Nostalgia Years. With Civil Twilight.
7:30 p.m. Dec. 4. $30-$60. Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St. N.W., Atlanta. 404-659-9022.

EW. YUCK! This is the best Atlanta has to offer?
November 30th, 2012
11:26 am
"EW. Yuck?" miekal, kind of a mean comment. Just because your favorite acts don't happen to be touring right now, or stopping in Atlanta? There's a lot of great music out there. Some of it appeals to many, some of it appeals to a more specific group. But that's just the beauty of it. It's not "YUCK," it's variety, and it's talented people expressing their talents in individual ways. I imagine it's more "YUM" even though I haven't even heard of most of these acts.

UPDATE 7/22/2012@ 10:35 p.m.
ROANE COUNTY, W. Va. (WSAZ) -- Authorities have released the names of the four people killed in car accident yesterday on Interstate 79.
Travon Frisby, 20, Cameron Shields, 19, Steven Ranjo, 44 and Leo Ranjo, 88, are the names of the people who were killed in the accident.
Police say all the victims were from out of state.
ROANE COUNTY, W. Va. (WSAZ) -- Four lives were gone in an instant Saturday afternoon after a tragic accident on Interstate 79 claimed them.
State police say two teenage males were driving in the northbound lanes about 5 p.m. when they crossed the grass median and hit another vehicle head-on.
They say that vehicle was a Volkswagen Jetta that had two other men inside. All four people were killed on impact.
"It's pretty bad...something you hate to see," state trooper Eric Workman said. "Four people died today and two of them were very young. That's what makes it even worse."
The accident happened at mile marker 32 near Big Otter. It held up southbound traffic for a half-mile. Police steered oncoming cars onto a detour.
Investigators say they've seen the roads get busier recently thanks to the end of the stormy spell.
"There's a lot of traffic right now wih all the power outages we've had," said Chuck Runyon, emergency operations manager with the West Virginia Department of Transportation. "Now people are getting their power back and going on vacation."
Runyon says that makes it an important time to stay alert behind the wheel.
"A lot of people are traveling because of the weather right now," he said. "So they really need to focus on the road and watch out for the other guy and be safe."
Police aren't releasing the victims' identities until their families are notified. They believe the two teenage males were from Maryland and the two other men were from Pennsylvania.
All lanes of I-79 have been re-opened.
ROANE COUNTY, W. Va. (WSAZ) -- Four people are dead after a head on collision in Roane County, West Virginia.

UNDATED (AP) — New government data finds the percentage of young adults earning a college degree has increased slightly but remains far below the level needed to reach the president's goal of having the U.S. rank first worldwide in college graduates.
The Education Department is releasing numbers Thursday that show 39.3 percent of adults ages 25 to 34 had earned an associate, bachelor's or graduate degree in 2010. That's a half-percentage point increase over 2009.
Rising tuition costs is one of several reasons why more young adults aren't graduating from college.
A 2011 report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development says the U.S. ranks 16th in the percentage of young adults who have earned a college degree, behind such countries as South Korea, Canada, Japan and Russia. However, the OECD says the U.S. ranks fourth globally when all age groups are included.

**UPDATE: Interview with BillO added**
Palin says that Christie is forced to cut budgets because NJ is broke. But she points out that when she became Governor of Alaska, she cut even though she had a surplus:
And with all due respect to Governor Christie, you know he has no choice but to cut budgets because he's broke, his state is broke. What courage really is, is in the face of having a surplus when you have opportunity to spend spend spend other people's money, you still choose to reign in government to let the private sector soar. That's real courage, and by the way that's what I did as Governor here when I engaged in hiring freezes and reduced earmarks by 86% and vetoed the largest amounts in our state's history. Despite having a surplus that's real leadership and that's courage.
But I do appreciate that Governor Christie is willing to face the reality in his state and that is that they are going bankrupt. So he has to cut, he has no choice.
Oh man I feel like the election campaigns have already started! That was awesome!
Full interview below (the quote comes early in the first video):
UPDATE: She was on with BillO tonight as well, where she talks about cutting entitlements. She also lightly smacks him down for interrupting her and not letting her finish a thought.

BATON ROUGE — The Louisiana House overwhelmingly refused Tuesday to provide government-subsidized health insurance to thousands of people with the Medicaid dollars available under the federal Affordable Care Act, in a vote that appears to shelve the issue for the legislative session.
Only 37 lawmakers out of the 105-member chamber supported the Medicaid expansion proposal, while 59 lawmakers voted against it. A day earlier, the Senate budget committee jettisoned a similar bill.

Through working with our local mentoring partners, we will demonstrate impact in the community by creating a sustainable mentorship model for future success, and embed a culture of mentorship in Newark. We hope to become an inspiration and multiplier for mentorship in other communities.
By promoting Best Practices and strong, long-term mentoring relationships, the Newark Mentoring Movement strives to have an exponential impact on Newark's youth.

Masa migrates modern Mexican to Mercato
NAPLES - Contemporary Mexican cuisine is nothing new. In cities such as Charlotte and New York City, for example, haute gourmet Mexican restaurants have long been popular dining destinations. But in Naples, Masa is the first generation of trendy, fine Mexican dining. Masa is named for the traditional dough used in concocting corn tortillas.
Cocktails — especially margaritas — are a staple indulgence at Mexican restaurants, and Masa is no exception. The bar at Masa is already a see-and-be-seen locale as people wait for tables and sample a variety of tequilas, margaritas and nonalcoholic drinks. Of particular note is the savory-sweet limeade, the next best thing to a margarita for designated drivers or anyone who wants to enjoy a flavorful, nonalcoholic cocktail.
Executive chef Michael Mueller is enthusiastic about his new endeavor, which is part of the D'Amico family of restaurants. Mueller developed the menu with the company's executive chef Jay Sparks and head chef Saul Chavez after much research.
Masa is run right, too, by restaurant manager Heinz Horvath, whose Las Vegas background makes him the perfect person to communicate this elevated version of Mexican cuisine to diners, along with general manager Irena Wigley.
It's worth noting the team held many practice dinners with picky eaters before opening to the public.
There is some kick to most of Masa's dishes — so if you don't like spicy, leave these dishes to those of us who would be more than happy to acquire your jalapeño relleno de chorizo con queso. That would be the roasted jalapeño pepper stuffed with chorizo, apples and Chihuahua cheese, served with guajillo and black bean purée ($9.50).
Where: Mercato, 9123 Strada Place, North Naples
Hours: Lunch 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily; dinner 5 to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 5 to midnight Friday and Saturday
Cost: $6-12 starters; $9.75-$15.50 lunch entrees and $12-$33 dinner entrees
Information: 239-598-0887 or www.masa-restaurant.com
For diners who insist on ordering fried calamari at every meal, take a leap of faith and try something different. Masa's grilled calamari is served over black rice with fresh salsa ($12). For sharing, the queso fundido ($11) is a yummy combination of melted Chihuahua and Havarti cheeses with mixed mushrooms, onion, tomato, serrano and Dos Equis Amber served with warm tortillas.
The mango salad ($9.50) is prepared with jicama, radish, romaine hearts and queso fresco and while refreshing, still comes with a kick. It's a treat to have something so sweet and spicy in the same bite.
In Masa's trio of tacos ($16.50) you get a choice of flank steak, fish, pork — either marinated in adobo sauce or roasted — or grilled chicken. Masa's fried baja fish taco prepared with cabbage slaw, pickled onion and habanero, is definitely one of the best fish tacos in Naples. The slaw is a big part of this savory equation, and is absolutely bursting with flavor.
Most of us who adore Mexican food go crazy for tamales. Masa's grilled chicken tamale is steamed in a banana leaf with chard, Chihuahua cheese and red molito sauce and served with cilantro rice and black beans ($17). The pork tamales are $16.
Low fat, high flavor defines the snapper a la veracruzana ($29) at Masa, prepared with tomato, olive, caper, garlic and Serrano. Other notable entrees include the sautéed Florida Gulf shrimp ($22) with roasted tomato-Morita salsa and grilled pork tenderloin ($22) with ancho, guajillo salsa and roasted corn with plantains.
On the dessert menu, the flan de coco is garnished with little strips of toasted coconut atop the coconut flan. Masa also offers scrumptious crepes with dark chocolate, goat's milk caramel and candied pecans. Its pastel de tres leches — three milk cake — and the warm fritters with Oaxacan chocolate sauce are both divine ($7.50 each). Ice cream or sorbet is served with Mexican cookies ($6.50).

Combat coughs and colds
Get the tips and tricks to banish coughs and colds this winter - and make the seasonal sniffles a thing of the past! more
Head lice have always been known for their ability to hang around seemingly forever, but research is showing they are becoming increasingly resistant to treatments – particularly of the chemical persuasion. The good news is, there's a relatively new kid on the block that appears to beat them at their own game.
If you've ever felt you're fighting a losing battle with nits, you're probably not imagining it. Nits have evolved to resist many treatments - as many as 50 percent are now resistant to many long standing treatment methods and products. The good news is scientists are hot on their heels and there's a few newer options that showing super-nits that resistance is useless.
Happily there's a new generation of pesticide-free head lice treatments (for example, the NeutraLice Advance Lotion Kit that are showing strong results. Recent clinical trials show that after NeutraLice Advance was applied three times, seven to 10 days apart (exactly as per the instructions for use) 97.6% or 40 out of the 41 school children were free from headlice.
Some cases of head lice are horribly persistent and experts say the reasons for failure come down to one or several of the following:Inadequate application of the head lice product - make sure you use it exactly as directed.

Malcom Haigwood never dreamed he'd be reminiscing about the good old days so soon. "The '90s were so easy," says the Newport, Ark., farmer. "We sprayed glyphosate every Monday morning through canopy closure. It worked for a lot of years."
Along came glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth. And marestail. Johnsongrass got ugly, too. Haigwood says it's hard to exaggerate the economic impact these weeds have had. "We have had to till up Roundup Ready cotton because we couldn't control the Palmer," he admits.
Consider yourself lucky—or good, depending on your weed management program—if similar horror stories haven't yet emerged in your fields. Whatever you do, just don't consider yourself immune.
Southern states have been the hotbed for resistance issues, but weeds are putting up a fight across the landscape.
Cheap, but costly. When glyphosate prices dropped nearly 50% this past year, Greg Kerber of Gibson City, Ill., winced but held steady to his plan to rotate chemistries beyond glyphosate.
"There's nothing easier than the Roundup Ready system," Kerber says. "That's why it's so important to protect it. If we are going to be good stewards of the technology, we have to look at other options."
University of Illinois Extension weed specialist Aaron Hager says when glyphosate starts to disappoint, farmers often reach for postemergence herbicide tank-mix partners.
"Control of tough weed species, such as waterhemp, giant ragweed, horseweed and morningglory, really needs to begin with a soil-applied herbicide," Hager says. "Residuals also provide another herbicide mode of action to reduce the selection pressure and delay the onset of or manage existing glyphosate-resistant weeds."
Kerber used a burndown residual on every acre this past year and plans to follow suit in 2011.
"Residuals allow me to put a different mode of action into the system to give my post product a chance against weeds such as waterhemp," he notes.
He admits it is more difficult to shell out the $8 to $12 per acre cost of a residual for soybeans versus corn. "In terms of bushel cost, though, it isn't much of an expense," he says. He uses a full rate of all residual products.
Crop rotation and herbicide tolerant trait rotation further diversify his weed management program. He depends on Roundup Ready corn traits and alternates herbicide-tolerant traits by planting LibertyLink soybeans.
Kerber is still penciling out how many corn-on-corn acres he'll have this year, but he is considering herbicide-tolerant stacked hybrids for those acres since he can control any volunteer [glyphosate tolerant] corn with glufosinate (Ignite). Stacks will also go on acres where he suspects more

HUFFINGTONPOST.COM - News keeps getting worse for Denise Helms,
the 22-year-old California woman whose racist, threatening Facebook
status about President Barack Obama went viral. Helms has
since been fired from her job at a Turlock, Calif., Cold Stone Creamery,
and the Secret Service is now looking into her comments.
"Another 4 years of this (N-word)," Helms wrote on her Facebook Tuesday night. "Maybe he will get assassinated this term."
Sacramento's Fox 40 news crew caught up with an unapologetic Helms on Wednesday.

Comments about Baudville 3-D Crystal Trophy - Phone: Beyond the Call:
We will be giving this (and other) awards to employees each month to have at their desks. While we were surprised at the small size of the trophy, the top part with the hologram of a telephone/stars was of good quality. We can work around the size. The problem we have is the personalized engraved "plaque" on the bottom of the award. The piece with the engraving on it was put on crooked, which makes the award look cheap.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is a guest post by Zach Roberts.
As a documentary producer, I watch more than my fair share of environmental protest documentaries — probably about 20 a year. And almost all of them have the same, vague message: we need to do something!
Their scenes re-play like a bad video montage in my mind: earnest young people speaking at podiums, boring climatologists rambling on about the coming end of the world, forest fires, melting ice shelves, you know how it goes. In the lefty journalism world, we call this "preaching to the choir."
Then there's Disruption,...read more

It could be both. 'Conditions' could refer to the "state of something" (as in the state/condition of the patient's stomach) or it could refer to a "medical illness" ( as in "the patient's condition is terminal; he has lung cancer.")
In the context of your example, 'traditionally tricky conditions' refers to a medical circumstance/state of being that is often difficult to diagnose or to treat with complete confidence. For example, a patient may tell the doctor that his stomach hurts. The doctor may suspect internal bleeding in the stomach but he can't be sure without performing additional tests, some of which might actually make the patient's 'condition' worse. The video pill is designed to provide the doctor with an inside view of the stomach that he wouldn't traditionally be able to see without performing invasive surgery.

A legal battle between Montgomery County and a local church is back on after an appeals court revived the case.
The U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a land dispute between the county and megachurch Bethel World Outreach Ministries will go to trial. The church sued the county in 2008, saying the county was intentionally blocking the church from building a new site in Gaithersburg.
The appeals court is partially reversing the ruling of a district court judge from 2011 that backed the county's decision.
The argument stems from a land purchase the church based in downtown Silver Spring made in 2004 to build a new church. The county denied the church's request to build after it passed a law banning construction of religious facilities on land zoned for agriculture. The church said it was being discriminated against based on the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, which gives religious institutions a way to avoid burdensome zoning law restrictions on their property use. It also said the county was interfering with its right to worship.
Court of Appeals Judge Diana G. Motz wrote that while the county didn't discriminate against Bethel based on religion, it did interfere with the church's ability to worship, as current facilities were over capacity.
Attorney Roman Storzer, who represents the church, said when the organization purchased the property, it was zoned to allow a church. After the purchase was made, however, the county passed a law prohibiting worship on those grounds. Storzer said now a jury will decide the fate of the new campus planned for Brink Road.
"They're bursting at the seams," Storzer said of the church in Silver Spring. "They don't have enough room to engage the number of people who attend. The church should be able to build its place of worship and finally have a home."
County Attorney Marc Hansen said he couldn't comment on pending litigation but said his office is reviewing the opinion and will consult with County Executive Ike Leggett and the County Council on how to move forward.

AFT Resolutions
WHEREAS, on June 28th, 2009, the democratically-elected president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, was forced under military escort to leave the country in a swiftly executed coup*;
WHEREAS, since that time, thousands of Hondurans have publicly protested the deterioration of their civil liberties, and their political and economic rights;
WHEREAS, international human rights organizations, labor unions, and the worldwide press have reported that the current government has freely used police and military to target public school teachers, students, healthcare workers, public sector employees, journalists, human rights defenders, and other brave Honduran men and women who have dared to stand up peacefully for their rights as citizens; dozens have been killed, hundreds wounded, and thousands subjected to arbitrary detention or arrest;
WHEREAS, the current regime has failed to address Honduras' critical social and economic problems, such as poverty and enduring inequality; this failure has disproportionally affected the nation's politically marginalized, including its poor, its rural populations, indigenous people, and women and children across the country;
WHEREAS, Honduras' teachers—still remaining dedicated to their profession and committed to their communities' schools, students and families—have yet to fully receive their long-promised improvements in wages, working conditions, and the restoration of their robbed pension funds;
WHEREAS, the United States, after briefly suspending military aid following the coup, renewed military aid to Honduras in 2009 and continues to provide the government of Porfirio Lobos with substantial funding for military and police, allocating $6.64 million in 2011; and
WHEREAS, the American Federation of Teachers, consistent with its longstanding history of supporting human rights and social justice worldwide, stands in solidarity with its labor brothers and sisters in the labor federations of Honduras, the AFL-CIO, and the Trade Union Confederation of the Americas (TUCA);
RESOLVED, that the AFT call on the U.S. government to cease all military aid to Honduras and suspend all efforts to gain inclusion for Honduras in the Organization of American States** until the Lobo government agrees to end the repression and murder of teachers, unionists, campesinos and other workers; to return teachers' stolen pensions; to drop charges of sedition against teachers who had been on strike against the destruction of public education; and to restore labor rights to all Honduran workers.
* In May 2011, under a negotiated political agreement brokered by Colombia and Venezuela, Mr. Zelaya returned to Honduras and to politics.
** Honduras has now been readmitted to the Organization of American States, effective June 1, 2011.

- Real TreatsweetzeatZDined on 9/9/2014Though I live in the neighbourhood, it's always exciting to have dinner and cocktails at Lee. Great dining experience, amazing fare and knowledgeable professional service all around. Knowing that chef Lee is quite busy with his new babies Bent and Luckee, it was a real treat to meet the man himself and have him work his magic in the kitchen that evening! It was my second time dining in at Lee in two weeks and I'll definitely be back soon. CheersSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rush,rush, rushOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/6/2014Although some of the food at Lee's was superb (particularly the 'slaw' which I found the best salad dish I have EVER eaten) the rushed tone of the service (including the fact that our second course was served to the table as we were still eating our first course) and the somewhat strange manner of one waiter who didn't seem to be following what was being asked, added to an uncomfortable tone for the evening. There was no apology when we broached this subject, simply a statement from the waiter that it was Saturday night. Not good enough.Special Features:
- Enjoyed it!TOfoodDined on 9/4/2014Like the duck wrap. The foie gras paste adds a nice modern twist to the traditional preparation. My 17 year old budding foodie loved it. A casual smart place for easy dining. Service staff was attentive.Special Features:
- FullinTorontoDined on 9/2/2014Lee is a must stop when you're in Toronto. The food was fantastic and the overall experience is one we'll remember for years to come. The highlight for us was the ribs, yummy and the signature salad was also something to remember. The restaurant did a great job at pacing the food delivery so we never felt rushed, but were able to finish within 2 hours (their requested table limit).Special Features:

The Cheeseburger rolls were also AMAZING.. definitely NOT first date food, but so divine: basically a deconstructed cheeseburger, its the juiciest most divine burger patty smooshed into a spring roll, topped with spicy cheese, sitting on a bed of unions and lettuce...a MUST try! I ordered the Mayan Solstice at the bar (gin and tequila drink) was a bit stiff for my liking but maybe I should have expected that...? I coughed for 5 mins after my first sipSpecial Features:
- Phenomenal all aroundTraceystweetzDined on 8/28/2014This was probably one of the most memorable meals of my adult life. Everything was perfect from the drinks to the wait staff to the food. Chef Lee came around to every table to see how his guests were enjoying themselves. Class act all the way.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- chelso6Dined on 8/27/2014I took my wife for her birthday, When making the reservation, I had ask to have something arrange for the dessert time, unfortunately, our waiter remember until we got the bill, but he manage to fix something before we left and had other waiter to sign to my wife Happy Birthday, which was kind of cute and funny. Overall our Lee experience was good, the salad at the beginning is the best part of the meal so far. Delicious appetizer, love the lamb with the lentils and fried bananas, that is an amazing dish; Scallops were kind of rubbery for my taste and the sorbets for dessert were not very appealing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Heartbreak and cole slawThunderdomeDined on 8/25/2014Went in a second date with this awesome girl. She ended up making out with my brother, but the meal was so good I thought the night was a win overall.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Started off the perfect eveningYumBucketDined on 8/23/2014I went with a date with a 6:30pm reservation. They gave us a choice of outside or in and we took the patio because of the beautiful weather. The service was amazing, perfect timing for everything and very attentive. Without question the waiter says, "so we're starting off with the slaw?" Bang on. We also ordered the Top Chef curry chick and Black cod. This time around the Slaw was still amazing but the flavours and textures of the other 2 dishes were fantastic as well! 1 bad thing would be the cleanliness of the table. There was some meat in the cracks of the table. For that reason I'd only dine inside.Special Features:
- Great design but awful servicemattyDined on 8/21/2014I had such high hopes going into the restaurant as it had such good reviews. Place is beautiful and great little patio. Service was very slow even though there was plenty of staff on the floor. When I asked for a drink menu it came after 30min. Timing between plates was to long and even though I would have ordered more food having to wait so long had me wanting to leave. The table next to me made the cement on how they were irritated at how slow everything was.Special Features:
- Even better the second time aroundchristin1988Dined on 8/20/2014This was my second time at Lee. I brought my friends who were visiting from the UK and they were thoroughly blown away by the amazing food and atmosphere of the restaurant. My favourite place in Toronto!Special Features:
- Great food, not so great service.hererighthereDined on 8/19/2014The food was amazing and everything we could have hoped for. Oysters: really fresh! Slaw: amazing. Green curry: amazing. Braised beef: good but probably too "beefy". Panna cotta: take it or leave it. Chocolate rice dumplings: delicious! Service on the other hand could have been way better. We mentioned to her twice that we don't eat pork and the first thing she brought out had bacon. We waited 15min for our plates to be cleared after dinner and about another 10min for her to take our dessert order. We also mentioned we were celebrating an anniversary. Which she forgot and came out to ask us again before dessert. Smooth — not smooth. They brought out a candle with dessert. When it came time for the bill she wasn't even around.Special Features:
- fantastic fusionPublishDined on 8/18/2014Lee came very highly recommended, so expectations were for nothing less than a stellar evening. I am happy to report that expectations were not only met, but exceeded. From the cocktails right through to dessert, each item was well thought out, carefully crafted, well executed, and served with great style. The food is beautiful, the staff is not only knowledgeable, but seems truly pleased to be working here. Drinks and dishes are explained in detail and with great joy. DEFINITELY eat the signature slaw, but I cannot imagine being disappointed in any of the dishes. Go with a bunch of friends and share everything so you can try more of this amazing food. Lee is worth a trip to Toronto.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ChazVIPDined on 8/16/2014Didn't much like it although my wife did Seemed fake and kitchy to me. It was so very fusion that the original cuisines got lost. Server sold aggressively which I'm not used to. However, place was packed so I guess I'm a minority view.
- Outstanding mealCMD1Dined on 8/16/2014The meal was so good, we went back again the same week. Not to be missed.Special Features:
- a must in Toronto!!!!disapointingVIPDined on 8/15/2014When in Toronto, this is a new experience to Asian cuisine. Chef Lee mixes flavors with a distinctive approach. A must when visiting Toronto!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not just for special occassionsElleSeeDined on 8/15/2014We were a party of three for Friday night, 6:15 p.m. reservation. To say 'amazing' would be an understatement. Each dish was beautifully crafted with the most savory flavours. To top it off, the cocktails were phenomenal and their was a great vibe to the place. The Manager of the restaurant was very attentive to all patrons and our servers were well groomed, informed, professional and courteous. Made for a fantastic evening. We were lucky enough to meet Susur himself as we were celebrating a milestone birthday! What a treat. Such a nice humble yet talented man. I am heading back there in 2 weeks but just cause I feel like it. :) No need for a special occassion anymore.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Usually love LeeLove2dineDined on 8/14/2014I have been to Lee perhaps 4 times- I loved it each time so when I was choosing restaurant to celebrate a birthday- I thought it would be a special night. Only time I could get a res was 6:30- we checked in and although not busy were told table was ready - yet left us at the bar for 20 minutes. Then we were seated in the brighter, calmer side of the place- which I had never sat there- and didn't want to- I was footing the bill for 6, I wanted a special night, I was going to order for the table and the waitress suggested I do a taste menu- I did- and we were all hungry when we left. I should have done what I was going to do and ordered multiple dishes to share. Bill was $$$$$- the portions were small and we only had 5 courses-3 HOURS-3*Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unfriendly StaffKingWestMDined on 8/14/2014If you are ok with being treated like you don't belong there, you'll enjoy it! I've visited for many different occasions and though not all of the wait staff are pretentious, there are several who are. Consistently. The food is delicious. Just don't expect a fantastic experience.
- Outstanding night!MarinaDined on 8/13/2014Our diner at Lee Restaurant was an excellent experience; the food and service were outstanding. It was a bit busy and noisy when we got there but once we got to our table it was a great, unique experience. We already recommended to our friends and they thanked us afterwards.Special Features:
- Incredible Food!pwebahDined on 8/8/2014Food is absolutely incredible. The Chef's slaw is a must order. Presentation is wonderfully creative. Service is very efficient, attentive and fast. We have been there several times and the food and service are always wonderfulSpecial Features:
- Food is so disappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/8/2014My mom and I went to this restaurant for dinner because of its high rating on Yelp, yet it was a total dissapointment. The service is excellent, but it would not save a restaurant that serves mediocre food. The so called Asian Fusion cuisine, is merely an entertainment to people who haven't tasted authentic Asian or international fusion cuisine. Some of the dishes are indeed cooked in a creative way, especially some side sauces, but the composition of individual dish is quite unsophisticated. The signature salad, Singapore Slaw, tasted refreshing at first, but the portion is too huge, and it got really cloying when you have some more. For the Thai skewers and black cod, they were made too oily that we didn't even finish one third of them.Special Features:
- Lee on kingI8hereDined on 8/7/2014Cool to experience some 'iron chef' dining! The slaw really was AMAZING!! Other dishes were also very good. Service was very good-attentive and they explained all the dishes as they were served. The one negative was the drink 'feature' was sangria...tasty, but hardly worth $16 for a tiny glass.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love LeeMarJanDined on 8/7/2014The food never disappoints. I always know that I'll be eating way more than I can fit, simply because the food is irresistible. The atmosphere always has a cool vibe and service is bang on. My favourite restaurant in Toronto, hands down.Special Features:
- Top NotchOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/6/2014Restaurants with this caliber food are not common. It's on the pricey side but you will forget all about the expense once you taste the first bite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently Great DiningLuv2dineoutDined on 8/2/2014My wife and I visit Lee a number of times per year and rate it as one of our top choices in Toronto. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice vibe but overpricedOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/2/2014My wife and I ate at Lee this past weekend when in town for our anniversary. We are both vegetarian and Lee was recommended to us for that reason. The food was good, but we were left a little deflated as the portions were small and, therefore, in my opinion, overpiced. Our favorite dish was the Mexican Goat Cheese Tart. Food aside, the service was outstanding and helped make up for our overall experience.
- You must tryDiKen4food2eatDined on 8/1/2014You must try their speciality dish.... amazing salad with 19 ingrédients. 2 die 4!Special Features:
- lunchingladyVIPDined on 8/1/2014We did not know they had a 15 min late policy and they made a big deal about us being 20 min late. But the restaurant was certainly not full and we had searched on the street for it walking past several times until we noticed the discrete sign board sitting on the pavement. The noise level in the restaurant was extremely loud so we chose to sit outside where it was quieter with trucks and ambulances screaming by and the general hurly burly of King street. The seats were not comfortable but the food was excellent and the wait staff very attentive so that all being said we enjoyed our meal.Special Features:
- LEE RESTAURANTNPooDined on 7/30/2014The food is presented to the middle of the table to encourage sharing which is great as you need to taste every dish that comes to your table. My husband and I ordered 4 dishes and it was one too many. But which one would we have cut out???? That would be a very difficult decision because each dish was a taste sensation. We had the black cod, beef tacos, Peking Duck and steak tartare. The only problem was the neighbouring table was a little too close. We will certainly be returning and next time we will try their signature dish.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/28/2014Very attentive and helpful with ensuring nut free experience for my son.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A+ food, howeverOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/26/2014My bf and I were excited for our reserved dinner this past weekend. we already had an idea of what we wanted to order. But between the time we were seated and the time our waitress finally came over for our orders was about 15 minutes. not acceptable. I was about to get up and go up to the bar and call her. I got really annoyed. Anyways, we had ordered the signature singapore slaw, the scallops and the peking duck platter. for drinks we both ordered a $16 glass of their sangria. very delicious. our 3 dishes came out within the span of 1 1/2 hours. VERY SLOW for food to come out. very heavy factor of whether I would come back to Lee or not. I would recommend not to visit on a weekend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, off service for usPetuniappDined on 7/24/2014I was looking forward to this meal for months, very special treat. And we sat there and watched others get served all around us, and waited over an hour for our first hot appetizer to arrive. Cold oysters arrived quickly, but then long wait. Seems to have been just our table, so would not generalize. For a restaurant that says when you reserve you have a two hour window for your meal to not serve our main course until we had been seated for an hour and a half, and last course arrived at hour and forty-five into the window. I don't like to write "bad" reviews, food was great, just very disappointed in our service. The highlight was when the waitress asked if we wanted anything else when out last entree had not been served yet. Food's great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/19/2014Went for dinner and was nothing short of impressed. The slaw is a must !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

According to Joe Frisaro of MLB.com, blind bids for Cuban free agent Jose Abreu are expected to be in soon. Abreu, the power hitting first baseman who will turn 27 prior to opening day, is free to sign with any club.
Abreu hosted a showcase in the Dominican Republic a few weeks ago, and scouts came away universally impressed by his power. The Mets had representatives on hand, but it's been reported that the Marlins, Red Sox, and Rangers are the teams who have been showing the most interest in Abreu. His price tag is rumored to be $60 million over six years.
The Mets have a first base situation that's in flux, with Lucas Duda, Ike Davis, Josh Satin, and Wilmer Flores all expected to compete for playing time come Spring Training.
Andy Martino reported earlier this week, citing officials who are familiar with the Mets' thinking, that the club is unlikely to heavily pursue Abreu.
As has been noted in the many articles concerning Abreu, he's known to have one plus tool – his bat. He's slow footed, and viewed as someone who will be adequate defensively. Abreu may hit for average in the big leagues, but the safest bet is that at the very least, his power will translate.
There are some scouts who think Abreu will feast on back end rotation types, but be held in check by the better starting pitchers in the league. What every team is weighing right now, is whether a full court pursuit of Abreu is worth it.
The Mets haven't been very active in the International market, and one of their notable misses was Kaz Matsui. This isn't to compare Abreu with Matsui – they're different in pretty much every way possible. However, Abreu is an unknown quantity at this point. He may come to the majors and be a bust. He may come to the majors and turn into a star.
I wouldn't be completely floored if the Mets made a serious bid to land him, but I'd be surprised.

Seth Allen arrived at Maryland as the least heralded of its four freshman recruits. But few who have seen him play would be surprised if he leaves as the most celebrated.
So obvious are the talents of the high-leaping, smooth-shooting, slick-handling Allen that it's hard not to wonder how he arrived in College Park with only three stars attached to his name.
As Maryland progresses through this breakthrough season, one of the most interesting storylines surrounds the development of the 6-foot-1 Allen, perhaps the Terrapins' most explosive player.
On many teams Allen would be in the lineup by necessity. That he scored 21 points on 8-for-12 shooting and grabbed four rebounds in his ACC debut Saturday against Virginia Tech suggests that Allen is ready for a major role. So do his shooting numbers -- 46.3 percent from the floor and 40.0 percent from beyond the arc.
But Maryland coach Mark Turgeon has the luxury of spoon-feeding his first recruit. It's clear the coach has a special relationship with Allen, who committed to the Terps five days after Turgeon was hired.
Talking about how he has learned to handle sophomore Alex Len and freshman Jake Layman gently in practice, Turgeon contrasted them to Allen.
"I can yell at Seth every day and he smiles," Turgeon said. "He gets what I'm saying to him."
It's unlikely any Maryland fans are still missing departed ACC scoring leader Terrell Stoglin. But if so, they can find solace in another left-hander. Allen is taller, quicker, has more shooting range and -- apparently -- pays more attention to the coach.

text: I'm excited but nervous. I took a test on Saturday and it was positive. Took another test on Sunday and it was also positive. I was to start my period this week, but nothing. The thing is that I'm not cramping, my breast are not sore/tender/swollen. I have an appointment in 2 weeks to see the Dr. I just want to make sure something is there. I have read some of the early signs. I dont have any but the missed period and/or test taking. I guess those are the big ones. I feel like there should be something else to let me know. I think my sixth sense told me before I really knew. I dont know what to think.

San Francisco, you lucky city, you. This weekend you get to celebrate a Hella Vegan Eats Espectacular! First on Saturday, do brunch right with a glorious menu that includes chicken and waffles, chilaquiles rancheros, and Velvet Elvis french toast. Then on Sunday, make your dinner Cinco de Mayo-style with May Day fries and (my favorite!) fishy tacos. You can't go wrong! Well, you could go wrong if you missed one or both of these pop-up events, so don't do that.
The Hella Vegan Eats pop-up brunch runs from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 4; dinner happens Sunday, May 5, from 5:30 to 11 p.m. Both are at Dear Mom, at 2700 16th Street on the corner of Folsom in the Mission. Viva Hella Vegan Eats!
