Last Saturday at the Morningside Farmers Market, farmer Nicolas Donck of Crystal Organics handed me a bumpy pod that tapered down to a point. It looked a little like something that might have come out of Shrek's nose. Donck explained it was a daikon seed pod, and he had just discovered it was edible.
More than edible, it was radically delicious — sweet and spicy like the best radish, but with the juicy crunch of a sugar snap. I bought two bunches, brought them home, and they were gone in an hour.
I've since noticed daikon pods showing up on restaurant menus. At Empire State South, they arrived lightly cooked and scattered over a scored whole grilled pompano along with a healthy toss of popcorn for added textural intrigue. At The Iberian Pig, they joined fiddleheads and other seasonal spring vegetables atop a grouper fillet special.
Have you seed these tasty pods anywhere else? I'm mildly obsessed….

Never heard of them until now. Thanks for the heads up so I can be on the lookout.

Perhaps Buford Farmer's Market has them? (and if they don't I imagine they will soon)

"seed"? Don't know if this was a pun or not.

Facepalm! It's amazing the disconnect we have with even common foods; where did I think radishes came from, anyway? Obviously it has to have a seed, but I had never thought about it…what else am I missing?

These along with the mentioned fiddle heads and the spring tender bamboo shoots are among my favorite seasonal veggies.

Spring—season for many sprouting greens—look forward to finding and trying these–but it means Ramp season to me—old family tradition to hunt and pick—love'em, truly unique–any available in Atlanta?–Any local chefs have on menu?

Segway announces new cheaper "p series" OCT 15 2003
Segway announces new cheaper "p series". "p" for personal or portable, I think
Segway announces new cheaper "p series". "p" for personal or portable, I think
Cheaper?!?! $3995? I'll buy one when the price drops to just above an expensive pair of sneakers.
Please tell me Meg's tried a Segay... that'd be so Meta
When did Segway riders start wearing helmets?
"Personal?" It only carries one person -- you can't get much more personal than that. And do I need to go into "portable .... ?" I mean, that's the whole idea, isn't it?
Very cool. Makes me want to quit my office job to work in a huge warehouse with Segways for transport.

An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
Free software covers such a diverse range of utilities, applications, and assorted projects that it is sometimes difficult to find the perfect tool. We pick the best of the bunch. This month we cover blogging – the latest buzz, the latest on the DPL elections, and more trouble at Debian.
The EU is entering the second round of the battle over software patents. While supporters have successfully had the directive passed by the EU Council of Ministers, opponents of patents are increasing the pressure prior to the second reading. The number of pages warning about the danger of software patents continues to grow. And it appears unlikely – although by no means impossible – that the European Parliament will pass the directive. Diaries All Round? More and more, communicative people have adopted the idea of using a blog to let other users share their ideas, thoughts, and feelings. Blogs are typically edited in a browser. The blogging software on the server then creates a website to match the users' entries. Users who prefer to run their blogs on their own servers will need blogging software – luckily many free blogging applications are available.

Episode 2 of 6
Duration: 1 hour
Documentary following the staff, passengers and police officers on the railways in and around Leeds during summer. This is the most challenging season for staff, when binge drinkers, cable thieves and trespassers all threaten to delay the trains.
For driver Jason, driving the trains on the 'Real Ale Trail', a pub crawl by train, is the most dreaded shift of the week as drunken party-goers fill his carriages and begin to stumble across the tracks to catch their trains but the real- alers think of it all as harmless fun.
Elsewhere, when a teenager is killed after trespassing on the track, British Transport Police officer Craig has the difficult task of breaking the news to the boy's mother.
To add to the challenges for the staff running the trains in and out of Leeds, it is the wettest summer in a century and flooding brings the network to a standstill. With costly fines for every minute of delay, just one day of flooding costs the industry over a million pounds and ruins thousands of passengers' days.

BOSTON – Historically, Northeastern and Harvard usually face off in the Beanpot Consolation to play in front of about 50 of their closest friends (ok that's a bit of an exaggeration) before the main event featuring Boston College and Boston University. But while both teams aren't a part of the main event again this evening on the first Beanpot Monday, they both had a chance of advancing to the Beanpot Final in their first round matchup.
This time, Northeastern took advantage of the opportunity.
When these two teams met three years ago in the first round, the Huskies were considered the sleeper to take the Beanpot in a very even field. This year, with BC separating themselves from the rest of the pack, the Huskies are once again considered a darkhorse as they came into the game having gone 5-3-2 in their last 10 contests prior to Monday's semifinal.
But while a couple of players in particular–sophomore goalie Chris Rawlings and junior forward Mike McLaughlin–might not have knew about the prestigious college hockey tournament before they got to campus, they got accustomed to the tradition during the first two Monday's in February.
And by now, well, they know all about the tradition.
"I didn't know about the Beanpot before I came here…I know when I came on my visit here, Northeastern lost to Harvard and it kind of stuck my mind," said McLaughlin. "[Tyler] McNeely and all the seniors stressed that point beforehand but I don't think it matters who you play. You just want to play your game and move on to the second day."
"Growing up in Vancouver, you don't really get to hear a lot about the Beanpot," added Rawlings. "But once you get to campus you hear all about it on campus and you know its one of the biggest tournaments in college hockey [especially in Boston]."
This year, Northeastern carried over the momentum and are now on their way to their second Beanpot final in three years with its 4-0 victory over Harvard.
Beforehand, the senior class who was part of that loss in 2008 brifely addressed the team about that February night. But more importantly, that senior class addressed the rest of the team of being part of the prestigious college hockey tournament.
Coming off a disappointing 5-4 overtime loss against Merrimack Friday night, head coach Greg Cronin was concerned about how the team would fare against Harvard.
And about that Harvard game in 2008? Well that didn't even cross the coach's mind.
"I was more concerned about how we would've responded after a tough loss Friday night against Merrimack," he said. "It was kind of like a funeral in the locker room; they were really down after we lost in overtime with 28 seconds to go."
But thanks in part to the two-goal effort from McLaughlin (at 10:48 of the first period and 1:47 of the second) and a 41-save shutout from Rawlings, the Huskies were able to bounce back nicely. Steve Silva and Brodie Reid both added second period tallies at 10:53 and 16:19, respectively to secure the Husky victory.
"It's nice to come in just to contribute," McLaughlin said.
The Huskies now move on to the finals against the winner of the BC-BU contest currently taking place.
While Cronin might have exaggerated the potential magnitude of what a Beanpot Championship would mean on the Northeastern campus in his postgame comments—they haven't won the coveted trophy since 1988—he knows what it would mean for the community.
"If we win next week we'll need both the NU [Northeastern] Police and Boston Police to contain the Northeastern campus," Cronin said with a laugh.

See page 9 r-1 Wednesday, April 22, 1998 www.weber.edusignpost Volume 60 Number 72 Election candidates debate it out By Kari Lynn Harland campus affairs editor - The Signpost The turnout for the executive officer debate Tuesday was a little larger than the primary debates as students gathered in the warmth of the sunshine by the Stewart Bell Tower to listen. Candidates for Associated Students of Weber State University president, Brian Brown, Justin B. Miller and write-in candidate Terri Sloyer; academic vice president, Matthew J. Harker and Nikki Austin; and executive vice president, Laura Snow and Kristen Wolfe, were given time to introduce themselves and present some of their ideas and opinions. mm Elections 1998 Signpost Continuing Coverage Candidates for ASWSU president discussed changes they would like to see next year if they were elected. "I think the biggest thing the student body president does is represent the students and try to fulfill their needs. Every student has different needs. I want to satisfy everyone's needs. I know that sounds impossible, but that's what 1 want to do," Brown said. "And I want to address the biggest and most important issues first. I want to establish a permanent daycare facility here at Weber State for the nontraditional students." Miller stressed changes and dedication."This year it is imperative that we have someone with a lot of experience, because we are going into semester conversions which will affect every area on campus. I am experienced already. I know what it takes, how much time it takes, and I am willing to give one more year of my life to represent you," Miller said.

See page 1 3 Candidate involved in head-on collision Police officers and firefighters responded to a report of a traffic accident at the intersection of 4 1 st Street and Dixon Drive around 8:20 p.m. Tuesday evening. . The accident is still under investigation, according to Weber State Police Officer Wynn Wright. Apparently a vehicle driven by Kari Ann McCulloch was westbound on 41st Street and collided with a vehicle driven by Ben Heiner, a candidate for ASWSU science senator, according to reports. The light at 41st Street and Harrison Boulevard was red at the time, and several cars stopped at the light had left space to allow vehicles to turn left from Dixon Drive. Heiner was reportedly turning left into the eastbound merge lane when his vehicle collided head-on with McCulloch's vehicle. Heiner said he may have been able to see McCulloch's vehicle if the campaign signs had not been near the roadway. A formal complaint was filed by WSPD with the elections committee last week asking that candidates move their signs away from the another intersection on campus. Rick Thomson, Ogden City Fire Department paramedic said McCulloch complained about pain in one of her knees. He was unsure if she was wearing her seatbelt. According to sources at McKay-Dee Hospital, McCulloch was not on a trauma alert and would probably be released later Tuesday evening. .'.hi', -. '- .......

"We assign one day of the week to a different country or region. There's a faculty and staff committee for each region of Asia.

|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

>>Click here to view photos of the Top 10: Position Battles
IRVING, Texas – The rookies have made their initial marks, the Organized Team Activities and minicamp have concluded and the depth chart is a bit clearer as the Cowboys get set to head to training camp in a month.
That doesn't mean all the positions have been filled.
Some unexpected players will stand out and compete for a spot on the 53-man roster, while other backups will perform well enough to consider them as starting candidates.
While competitions will occur at various positions, these 10 are the ones to watch most closely when training camp begins:
1) Strong Safety: An early look would tell you the competition's primarily between
2) Right Tackle: The likeliest candidate here is probably
3) Center : The Cowboys and owner/general manager Jerry Jones made it clear shortly after the draft that
4) Strong Side Linebacker:
5) Third Receiver: The Cowboys didn't snag

Eight acres of well-lighted grassy field space accommodates intramural, club, and some intercollegiate practices for softball, flag football, soccer, rugby, lacrosse, and baseball.
The Robert F. Benson Memorial Center is the hub of campus life. The Benson Center is designed to meet the various needs of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests, and to provide an environment for the education of the whole person that continues outside the classroom. Among the many services and facilities available are The Bronco (SCU's late-night food and social venue), the Information Desk, Market Square, Mission Bakery and Terrace Cafe, Shapell Lounge, meeting rooms, Mission City Federal Credit Union, the Campus Bookstore, and the post office. In addition, the office of Campus Ministry, a number of student services, and the offices for undergraduate student government and various student organizations are housed in the center.
Nine classroom buildings house more than 71 classrooms plus numerous administrative offices. Mayer Theatre and three Fine Arts buildings provide special classroom, rehearsal, and performance facilities.
All registered students are provided with University networking and email accounts when they arrive, and they may use any of the computing resources. General public computing facilities are found in the Harrington Learning Commons.
Beyond the Learning Commons, personal computer facilities that are discipline specific are located in over 40 labs and classrooms around campus. These are a mixture of Windows and Mac systems. Standard "office" software, as well as discipline specific applications can be found on these lab and classroom systems. Most classrooms are equipped with presentation software and network connectivity for faculty to use in their classes.
In addition to all university systems being attached to a high speed wired network, the campus is almost fully covered by a wireless network. Students with their own computing devices can connect to the wireless network most everywhere.
The University is connected to the Internet by a 1 Gigabit link. The connection is openly accessible to all students, faculty, and staff. The library provides a full online catalog of its collections and access to many online databases.
The Student Health Center and Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) are located in the Cowell Center; diagnosing illnesses/injuries, i.e. primary care issues, orthopedic, dermatologic, etc. Some of the services offered to undergraduate and law students are physical examinations, men's and women's health issue exams, immunizations, medical equipment and supplies, and limited in-house pharmacy.
Since its founding, the de Saisset's collection has expanded to include more than 11,400 objects collected in six main areas: California history, mission-era liturgical vestments, decorative arts, works on paper, painting and sculpture, and new media. The collection includes prints form the Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, 19th century, and Modernist periods. The museum has an extensive collection of contemporary works on paper, with a special emphasis on artists from the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Patricia A. & Stephen C. Schott Admission & Enrollment Service Building is a place for visitors on campus to find an exciting gateway to Santa Clara. Students enjoy convenient centralized services to accommodate their nonacademic needs, such as checking the status of their financial aid, paying their bills, holding large group presentations, and more. The green-certified structure includes technology-infused exhibits that illustrate our Jesuit mission as well as reflect the dynamic region served by the University.
Kids on Campus is the University childcare and preschool center for children between six weeks and 5 years old. Children of faculty, staff, and students are eligible for enrollment. The center is a cooperative under the supervision of a volunteer committee of a parent board with a small staff of paid employees and University students. It is also used occasionally for practicum experiences by students in psychology and education courses. The preschoolers benefit from a program that provides a safe, loving, and creative learning environment that enhances the physical, mental, social, and spiritual growth of each child. Because space is limited, it is recommended that applicants sign up on the waiting list as soon as possible.
Santa Clara University's Lucas Hall facility gives its Leavey School of Business students firsthand experience with leading-edge, 21st-century technology.
The three-story, 86,000 square-foot building, named after Silicon Valley venture capitalist Donald L. Lucas, opened in September 2008, and is two-and-a-half times the size of the former business school hub. Lucas Hall contains 12 classrooms, six executive-style conference rooms and 16 team project rooms. All are wirelessly connected and most are high-definition, teleconferencing-ready. This Cisco-based networking and telecommunications infrastructure makes enterprise-class technology available to students, faculty, and staff.
The high-definition video and voice technology has made SCU's business school headquarters one of the most technologically advanced in the world. It enables professors to bring top national and global business leaders into the classroom through crisp, vivid virtual connections and facilitate collaboration with other universities worldwide.
Reflecting Santa Clara University's commitment to green and sustainable building, Lucas Hall was built using national Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) guidelines to reduce energy consumption, and features dozens of energy-efficiency measures.
The University library provides library and information services in support of the University's undergraduate and graduate programs. The library is located in the Learning Commons and Library facility, which combines the services, resources, and staffs of the University library, Information Technology, and Media Services.
The library's collection includes more than 786,000 books and bound periodicals, almost 600,000 government documents, and more than 841,000 microform units. OSCAR, the online library system, is available via the campus network or the Web. Through Link+, SCU students may quickly obtain books owned by a number of other California colleges and universities. Bronco Express, the library's interlibrary loan/document delivery service, is designed to quickly supply books and copies of articles that are not owned by Santa Clara University or available through Link+. SCU students can make requests for both of these services electronically, using OSCAR.
Students can obtain basic information about the library by visiting www.scu.edu/library, or by using the many helpful printed publications and guides that are available in the library. Library staff can also provide information, answer questions, and assist students in locating and using resources. For more in-depth research advising, individual students or project teams can make advance appointments with a librarian. Instruction in finding, using, and evaluating library and information resources is also incorporated into a number of regularly scheduled classes. In addition, the library provides training on popular computer software programs for students and other members of the University community.
During the academic year, the library is open seven days a week for a total of 116 hours. Most books may be checked out to undergraduates for 21 days and to graduate students for 42 days. Course reserve materials are often made available electronically through ERes. Circulation periods for printed reserve materials are limited to two hours, one day (24 hours), three days, or seven days. A student's current University ID (ACCESS card) serves as a library card and must be presented to borrow materials.
The Leavey Center is a popular multiuse facility that features a 5,000-seat arena. The Leavey Center is named after the founder of Farmers Insurance, the late Thomas E. Leavey, who graduated from Santa Clara University in 1922. The center is the home to the SCU Broncos men's and women's basketball and women's volleyball teams.
The Locatelli Center is a two-level facility that features space for student clubs and organizations, and is a flexible place for students to schedule events such as catered dinners, dances, rock shows, movies, and career day. This building is green, with an energy performance 25 percent more efficient than California's Title 24 building standard code. Central skylight shafts run through the second floor to the ground floor, increasing natural sunlight penetration to the center of the building on both floors. Recycled water is used for landscape irrigation.

The 500-seat Louis B. Mayer Theatre is designed to provide the traditional proscenium stage common to most theatres, as well as an orchestra pit and thrust elevators that can be raised or lowered electrically. In a remarkably simple procedure, a wall is moved, a few seats are relocated, and the main theatre is reoriented to a new dramatic form that extends the stage into the auditorium so that the audience surrounds the action on three sides.
Mayer Theatre also has a special floor constructed for dance, as well as a large movie screen and film projector.
The Fess Parker Studio Theatre, housed within the Mayer Theatre complex, has no fixed stage or seating. Its black-box design, complete with movable catwalks, provides superb flexibility in an experimental setting.

The handsomely rebuilt Mission Santa Clara, the sixth mission to be constructed, recaptures the appearance of the 1825 church and marks the historic heart of the University. The fifth mission church burned down in 1926, although some of the art and artifacts were preserved. Adjacent to the beautiful Mission Gardens, the church holds regular liturgical and sacramental services, and provides an open place for quiet reflection and prayer.
The music and dance facility has a 250-seat recital hall where students, faculty, and guest artists offer a variety of choral and chamber music performances. The music area of the building holds a large rehearsal hall; electronic media lab; a library of recordings and scores; and seminar, conference, and practice rooms.
The dance area of the building contains two dance studios for classes, student rehearsals, and performances, as well as dressing rooms and conference spaces.
The Schott Stadium is the newest addition to Santa Clara University's athletic facilities. It is named after Stephen Schott, former co-owner of the Oakland A's and founder of Citation Homes. Schott, who played baseball for the University as a student, graduated in 1960. Home to the Santa Clara baseball team, the stadium has a seating capacity of 1,500.
Originally built in 1962 for Santa Clara's varsity football and baseball programs, the stadium is home to the men's and women's soccer programs. The surrounding fields are used as practice facilities for the soccer programs. The stadium regularly hosts NCAA postseason events and was the site of the 1996 NCAA women's soccer championships.

The Hollywood greats famously enjoyed a passionate but tumultuous romance after first meeting on the set of Cleopatra in 1963, and wed twice over a 13-year period, but both marriages ended in divorce.
Following Taylor's death in March (11), the star was remembered for her film roles, and her colourful love life - especially for her time with Burton, but the actor's widow Sally Burton insists the constant references to Taylor make her angry.
During a visit to his birthplace of Port Talbot, Wales last week (ends09Oct11), Sally told reporters, ""I get p**sed off with all the talk of the great love story.
""Yes, they were in love but they got divorced twice, that means their marriage didn't work.""
She also revealed the pain of losing Burton a year after she married him in 1983 still haunts her, adding, ""When you marry someone older than you it's almost taken for granted that one day you might lose them, but I did not expect to lose him when I was still in my 30s and he was only in his 50s.""

San Diego • Zack Greinke had his left arm in a sling and a dazed look on his face as he told his side of the story. Barely two hours before, the $147 million Dodgers pitcher was injured in a wild fight with the San Diego Padres that didn't even end when the game did.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Greinke broke his left collarbone in a bench-clearing brawl during Los Angeles' 3-2 victory Thursday night, leaving the Dodgers so furious that Matt Kemp confronted Padres slugger Carlos Quentin nose-to-nose as the two were leaving Petco Park.
Juan Uribe's pinch-hit home run in the eighth put the Dodgers ahead, two innings after Greinke hit Quentin on the left shoulder with a pitch.
The slugger started walking toward the mound and Greinke appeared to say something. The 6-foot-2, 240-pound Quentin then charged the 2009 AL Cy Young Award winner, who is 6-2 and 195 pounds. They dropped their shoulders and collided, and Quentin tackled the pitcher to the grass.
Quentin and Greinke ended up at the bottom of a huge scrum as players from both sides ran onto the field and jumped in.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly was livid, saying it shouldn't have happened because Quentin was hit on a 3-2 pitch in a one-run game.
"That's just stupid is what it is," Mattingly said. "He should not play a game until Greinke can pitch. If he plays before Greinke pitches, something's wrong. He caused the whole thing. Nothing happens if he goes to first base."
Greinke twice hit Quentin with pitches when they were in the American League.
Quentin said his history with Greinke has been "well-documented. That situation could have been avoided. You'd have to ask Zack about that."
"I've been hit by many pitches," said Quentin, plunked more often than any other major league hitter since the start of 2008. "Some have been intentional, some have not been. For the amount I have been hit and my hitting style, I'm going to repeat: I have never reacted that way."
Kemp, one of four players ejected following the fight, found Quentin in the hallway near the players' exit as they were leaving the ballpark after the game. The 6-foot-4, 214-pound Kemp briefly went nose-to-nose with Quentin before Padres pitcher Clayton Richard, who is 6-5 and 245 pounds, stepped between them. Police and security moved in to break it up.Next Page >

- PERFECTION ON A PLATE!!!FrequentDinerVIPDined on 9/5/2014Expensive, but worth every penny. We've dined at some of the finest restaurants in the country (and in many other parts of the world) and it just doesn't get any better than this.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food, excellent serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 9/5/2014The food was first rate. My first course was the langoustine with caviar, perfectly cooked an all flavors balanced to perfection. Next was the sea urchin with Alaska king crab - magnificent. The time between the first and second course was unacceptably long but the maître offered us a 20% discount to compensate. Classy treatment not usually seen in many restaurants. Then came the Branzino, perfectly cooked fish and accompanied with beautifully balanced broth and veggies. Lastly the Kobe beef, somewhat expensive ($60 supplement.). My wife ordered the buffalo beef which was a better choice. The cheese plate for dessert was an excellent choice. Would go back any time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing food and amazing serviceCcandDined on 9/4/2014The staff at this upscale restaurant couldn't be friendlier. I had a great time even though we were there for Miami Spice and we basically eating out of the "value menu". Most restaurants look down at you when you ask for the Miami Spice menu, but here they were just as enthused to serve you! I had one of the best experiences at a Miami restaurant and the food reminded me of Paris, which always goes over well with me.Special Features:

- RomanticChf1Dined on 8/23/2014We went with another couple. We really enjoyed it. Portions are miniscule, so, do not go hungry. One goes to taste the flavor of the food! Music was very loud when we arrived at 6:30 pm. We asked them to turn it down and they did immediately. Otherwise, very nice. They could increase the portion size!!Special Features:

From the phenomenal breads served to my cup of coffee, Palm d'Or is the place for a great evening of elegance and excellence!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Elegant, Refined, ExquisiteDestinVIPDined on 8/16/2014Palme d'Or delivers a superior level of sophisticated professional service with exquisitely elegant and refined ambiance in the charming romantic old world-style setting of the Biltmore. Every facet of service is absolutely excellent. The food is simply fantastic and complimented by a nearly limitless wine list. Perfect for those truly special occasions when you hope to make memories to treasure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/15/2014Celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary and cancelled a reservation at another restaurant in favor of Palm d'Or. Although the food was good, the service was quite lacking, at best, particularly Patrick. They refuse to even attempt to accommodate any request without making you feel as if they are doing you the biggest favor in the world. And then, they actually ignore your request. Mine was simple: Avoid butter. It's never a problem at any restaurant, even French ones (I was told, "don't go to a French restaurant then"). They also no longer have the wine pairing option allegedly because they are offering the Spice Menu. Irrelevant, since we were not having the Spice Menu but so we were told! Sad because the setting's beautiful.
- BrianDined on 8/9/2014The beef tartare was delicious. The Hamachi appetizer was outstanding. The foie gras ravioli was delicious. The breast of duck and very good. The Coquilles St. Jacques was not traditional but outstanding. The deserts were nice. An excellent wine list. The Chateau Gombaude-Guillot was an excellent choice. The service is second to none. Very nice atmosphere. If you have not dined at Palme d'Or then Miami Spice is the perfect time for a visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceEddtwoVIPDined on 8/8/2014This is a very nice and elegant restaurant inside of the Biltmore hotel with a average ambience, good tasting menu and great service. It is a expensive place but I think is nice to celebrate special ocassion. What they really have to improve is the ambience, looks very old and is the same place they use for brunch on Sunday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall an excellent experienceLocalDinerDined on 8/7/2014We were two couples that wanted to enjoy a top notch dining experience and we got it. Everything ran very smoothly. From the traffice ease of getting to the Biltmore, to having drinks casually at the bar beforehand. Our service by waiter, busboy, sommelier, was excellent. Would definitely recommend it. Be aware that it's not cheap but for what you get it's not expensive either.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Almost excellentSWMWDined on 8/7/2014The quality of the food and service are excellent. The Miami Spice menu is not worth the $39, as the 1st and main course portions are very, very small. Upon arrival to the restaurant we nearly turned and walked away when the hostess totally ignored us (nothing but an empty stare). Glad we didn't leave because the excellent wait staff made up for the forgettable first impression. Stick to what Palme d'Or does best and skip the Miami Spice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not romanticLoudtableDined on 8/7/2014That my wife and I could have a nice quiet romantic dinner, but unfortunately we had a very loud 2 person table next to us. You would think the host would have noticed and said something. That's how loud they were.I would recommend this to a friend.
- RTseVIPDined on 8/5/2014This is the perfect romantic French restaurant. It is like something out of the movies. The service is flawless; formal yet friendly. The food is delicious.Special Features:
- UnbelievableRudyVIPDined on 8/5/2014I've eaten at Palmd'Or several times in the past. I decided to try the Miami Spice menu. It's absolutely amazing. Same great food, deliciously prepared as the standard menu. It's clearly the best meal in Miami. The value of the Miami Spice menu is unbelievable. If you love good food, artfully prepared by masters, this us the place. The wait staff and management are flawless. Knowledgable and attentive without being obtrusive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A classic treasureSteveDined on 8/2/2014After feeling that the food and service were terrific and the overall evening was terrifc, I couldn't help to take away a star. The pre-dinner cocktail at the bar, while very romatic felt a bit weird since we were the only ones in the bar. My girlfriend thorughly enjoyed her meal. Mine was good, but truthfully I think they might have brought me the wrong dish. I ordered the Bouillabaisse. If it was the classic french fish stew...my plate would have been the deconstructed version...the version without the liquid. It truly was delicious, but I didn't want to mar the evening by shouting "Where's the Soup?" We'd definitely go back...although next time, I'll probably ask more questions about the dish that I order.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LuceDined on 8/1/2014Miami spice menu did not have sea bass as advertised I am allergic to shell fish so I was limited to the duck it was excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Falls just short of notableSpoiledrottenDined on 8/1/2014The food is good, with the French inspired dishes demonstrating high quality ingredients and creativity. Presentation is perfect. However, for the price I have been spoiled by better techniques and flavor combinations. The fish courses were all disappointing, and when I asked about seasoning on a dish I was told it was not spicy only to find the opposite. The main dishes were excellent but I left wishing I had ordered from the cheaper Miami spice menu, having instead chosen the 5 course option and been satisfied by only 3.The menu is not really innovative enough to be called noveau cuisine nor classic enough to honor French traditions . It was not enough to use great techniques and ingredients, the dishes lacked the spirit of gourmet food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodLeoFineaterDined on 7/30/2014The experience is great...alway a good place to go with important peoples.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RomanticHappyfamilyDined on 7/25/2014Great place to celebrate with the person you love.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Palm d'Or Chef's MenuRobinDined on 7/25/2014We took guests to dinner and had the Chef's menu paired with the suggested wines. The food was fabulous, the wines were excellent and the service was outstanding. However, when we received the bill the gratuity had always been included in the past, as we pay with our Biltmore Premiere Club card. Therefore I did not add in a gratuity as I assumed it was included and the wait staff approached me before leaving the restaurant and said the tip was not included. When such a major policy change is implemented, it should be pointed out when the check is presented. This really took me by surprise and it was embarrassing for everyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Were we in Intensive Care?EversharpVIPDined on 7/23/2014I have never eaten at a restaurant with so many staff hovering over me at every moment, as if I was going to have a stroke at the table! This was supposed to be a romantic evening, but every time I tried to whisper something to my date, one of the servers rushed over and asked if everything was OK. If it weren't so funny, I would have been furious. In addition, the prix fixe menu was 100 bucks a head, and each portion was the size of tablespoon at best. We started joking about going to McDonalds afterwards because we were so hungry! Solution: 1. Teach the staff the difference between being attentive and intrusive, 2. Double the portion size so diners have a chance to really enjoy what were great creations but starvation portions...Special Features:
- Perfect Meal Guaranteed!FoodAdventurerDined on 7/16/2014The service, the food, the ambience... nothing less than PERFECT! Each course exceeded my every expectation. The foie gras was my personal favorite! Be prepared to be AMAZED!!Special Features:
- Service not up to parAlexDined on 6/26/2014I brought my own wine who had been waiting to be opened for two years. The waiter wanted to serve it directly without using a decanter or letting it breath. He had no idea, and did not care to ask, what we were drinking. Were charged a $30 corkage fee regardless. I've been to similar restaurants where the wine has been treated way better and have ended up not paying the published fee. Food is good but felt rushed through the whole experience. Don't think I would go again.Special Features:

- OutstandingNL2014Dined on 6/20/2014I'm embarrassed to say that I'm late writing this review because we had a wonderful meal at Palme d'Or. The food was exquisite and the service was absolutely impeccable. I'm spurred to write this now just having had a very mediocre dining experience at a New York restaurant which might class itself in the same league but was deeply mediocre in comparison.Special Features:

- Everything perfect but the foodslymiamiDined on 6/7/2014We are BIG fans of "tasting menus" . Have had several experiences in Miami's Zuma & St Regis and N.Y's Jean Georges and 11 Madison. At $135.00 a person the tasting menu at Palme D'Or was more like a series of 6 unremarkable Hors d'oeuvres, then an over the top light show of a dessert with an ice bowl that changes colors. Nothing stands out as a star or incredibly delicious, except for the small home made rolls served at the beginning. Maybe it was an "off night". This restaurant is very good when one orders from the Prix Fixe menu but they need to work on the tasting menu. However, the setting is spectacular, the service impeccable.Special Features:
- The following 455 reviews are from the Palme d'Or reviews archive.
- AnniversaryKurt1459Dined on 5/24/2014The experience was exactly what I would expect from the beautiful historic Biltmore Hotel. Portion sizes were typical of Nuevo cuisine, but all the flavors were just amazing. The Foie Gras Poelle was amazing! Patrick the manager was so informative and knowledgable as well as our server Eddie. I look forward to our return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I was bitten by the sewing bug in 2007 and remain happily incurable to this day. Usually, my creations focus on manga and anime characters of the 90s, as they're the ones I grew attached to as a kid.
I retired from conventions in 2013, but continue to attend various costuming events and photoshoots with the wonderful people I've met through this hobby.

text: SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - A former Sheboygan man now living in Saukville and currently in the Milwaukee County Jail is in trouble for stealing more than $25,000 in jewelry from his dad's jewelry store. 40 year old Ryan Kisiolek was charged yesterday with felony theft and could get up to 10 years in prison. Authorities said Kisiolek had allegedly stolen rings, bracelets, pendants, chains and loose diamonds while working for his father at Kisiolek Jewelers in Sheboygan last September through November. Kisiolek who is struggling with a heroin addiction was selling the loot to a Glendale jeweler. According to the criminal complaint filed yesterday, police have recovered about $16,000 worth of jewelry but about $9,000 is unaccounted for. Kisiolek is currently in jail in Milwaukee on a probation hold for a conviction on a charge of theft by a contractor.

Completion for the new animal shelter project is scheduled for November, with a ribbon cutting and official opening in December.
Many were skeptical about whether the animal shelter project would really come to fruition. Now that the final hurdle seems to be behind us, people are hopeful about incorporating other needed services and programs into the fabric of our community.
Around town, people have been saying that more attention needs to be focused on revitalizing downtown, citing nearby Livermore and Pleasanton as examples of what to do. Others are talking about incorporating more youth- and art-focused programs, and some would like to see more attention given to the local homeless:
"When my daughter was around 13 years old (she is now 23), we used to have a facility in town where local teens could go to dances and hang out safely," said Jenese Borges-Soto, a second-generation Tracy resident. "I think the city should have a place where teens can go to, especially during the summer months. After-school programs could also be provided there. Basically a place where older kids can be dropped off, spend time and stay out of trouble."
"There is really nothing for kids to do around town since they closed down The Plunge," said Tracy resident Kristal Ponce. "We need places for local teens to go so they can have fun and to help keep them out of trouble. Something that is open after school hours and on the weekends."
"I would like to see more services for the homeless," said resident Helen Jensma. "More places to get food, showers or other needs. There isn't a lot of places to get personal things that are needed."
As I've received feedback from the community this week, I have also thought about what could possibly make a good family destination spot in town. I would have to pull a page from my teen years and go with an old-fashioned skating rink.
I remember spending all my extra time roller skating and even have my old white lace-up skates with purple pompoms on them, which are still pulled out from time to time. I recall skating until dawn during overnight skating events at the rink and being served pancakes in the morning. Skating was not just a teen scene — entire families would spend hours upon hours together at the rink.
Skating rinks are quite nostalgic and were a popular destination spot long before I was born. In fact, my grandparents first met at a skating rink in 1940. Silver-screen legends such as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers helped popularize roller skating by wearing skates during a dance routine in the 1937 classic film "Shall We Dance."
Although many new businesses have opened in Tracy, people tend to want more of a destination spot rather than a quick pop-in spot to shop. A place more geared to hanging out with other families or groups that could also accommodate people on hot summer days or in the cold, breezy rain on the flip side.
I'd like to hear your thoughts. What does our town need to focus on next?

War of the Worlds - 75 Years Later
War of the Worlds - 75 Years Later
For the week of Halloween, CET and ThinkTV are excited to bring you an American Experience presentation of one of the scariest stories of all time – War of the Worlds.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the legendary radio drama that caused widespread panic. Shortly after 8pm on Halloween Eve in 1938, the voice of a panicked radio announcer broke in with a news announcement reporting strange explosions on the planet Mars, followed minutes later by news that Martians had landed in the tiny town of Grovers Mill, New Jersey.
Although most listeners understood that the news was part of a radio drama, the next day's headlines reported that thousands of others plunged into panic, convinced that America was under a deadly Martian attack. It turned out to be H.G. Wells' classic The War of the Worlds, performed by 23-year-old Orson Welles.
The film examines the elements that made America ripe for the hoax: America's longtime fascination with life on Mars; the emergence of radio as a powerful new medium; the shocking Hindenburg explosion of 1937; and Welles himself, the wunderkind director of the drama and mischief-maker supreme.

Nov. 9 fuel assistance application deadline nears
Applications for Fuel Assistance from the Virginia Department of Social Services' (VDSS) Energy Assistance Program (EAP) are being accepted now through Friday, Nov. 9. Henrico families and individuals must apply through the county's department of social services.
"With cooler temperatures predicted this winter, many Virginians will be facing higher heating costs," said VDSS Commissioner Martin D. Brown. "Fuel Assistance can help reduce home heating costs by supplementing a portion of annual heating expenses. Many of our most vulnerable citizens are already struggling financially, so we're encouraging them to submit an application, as soon as possible, to their local department of social services."
To qualify for Fuel Assistance, a one-person household's maximum gross monthly income cannot exceed $1,211. For a household of four, the maximum gross monthly income level is $2,498.
The Fuel Assistance Program assists with various types of energy sources, including electricity, natural and liquid propane gas, oil, kerosene, coal and wood. VDSS' EAP is funded by the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) block grant. LIHEAP provides funds to states to assist low-income households in meeting their home energy needs.
Last year, nearly 148,000 households received assistance. For details about the EAP, visit http://www.dss.virginia.gov/benefit/ea/index.cgi To s.creen for services or apply online, visit https://commonhelp.virginia.gov/access/

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

When the cliche stands tall
Inspirational football movie tries too hard for its own good
When the Game Stands Tall is based on a true story – an unbelievable true story that takes the word "inspiring" about as far as it can go.
It's a film about Bob Ladouceur, coach of the De La Salle High Spartans, a California high school football team with 12 consecutive undefeated seasons (a staggering 151 games won in a row).
Along the way, Ladouceur (played by Jim Caviezel) faced the kind of hardship most football coaches (thankfully) can only imagine – suffering a near-fatal heart attack, the death of a star player, and rebuilding the team after that 151-game streak came to a humiliating end. > Read more.

Test Drive Unlimited - 360 - Preview
Test Drive Unlimited is almost like a racing RPG now. It takes place on an island that is totally open, with roads that stretch on into the horizon. Highways and city streets as well as coastal cruises are found all over. This may sound like something that's already been done, but Eden Games goes above and beyond by making the entire island inhabited with other players. That's right; it's like an MMO racing game.
One of the elements that truly add a role playing twist on Unlimited is your customizable character. You won't be spending any time running around outside of the car, but when shopping, hanging out at home, or even driving your player is visible to everyone else. To make each character as different as possible, players are able to change their look and what they wear.
To gain new clothes and such, players will actually have to drive into town from their home and access a store. There they can spend their hard-earned money on shirts, pants, accessories, and whatever else. This is also how you purchase new cars or homes, by actually going out and shopping for them. For instance, you're sick of your current house, the garage is too small for your car collection, and you have tons of money to blow. As you leisurely cruise along the beach you notice a beach house that fits the bill. So after taking a closer look and seeing the "for sale" sign you purchase the house.
Car purchasing can be done multiple ways. There's an in-game trading post where players can trade or sell their cars in an eBay style fashion, using your in-game money to make the purchases. You can also go to the dealership and buy one new. Or, to save money, you can earn your new cars by seeking someone out and challenging them to a one-on-one race, putting your cars up as the prize. There are tons of other ways to set up these races too, from setting your own checkpoints to allowing more racers and so fourth. There will be more than 50 different rules to use when setting up these races.
The cars are extremely detailed, inside and out. All the cars are licensed, and there will be over 125 available. I was also told that they are all high-performance cars; the slowest having 250hp. Before buying or riding a car you can do a close up inspection using a free camera system, as well as open the door and take a look at the interior. All the dials and dash systems are there and fully functional. You can even roll down the windows.
Players can even create clubs, much like a clan or guild in other types of games. When starting a club, certain criteria can be set, such as an all Jaguar club. These clubs can organize tournaments or meets, as well as just hang out and chat.
I was able to try the game out using a great steering wheel setup. Controls were great, the look of the game was smooth and crisp, and I saw no framerate issues even in its early build. The cars even controlled fairly realistically – corners weren't easily navigated at high speeds versus low speeds. There was no noticeable car damage in the demo, but with the focus being on collecting high-class cars and keeping up your status it would seem a little out of place. There were also markers on the HUD showing where the other human players were on the map and their distance.
Test Drive Unlimited seems to take online racing to a whole new level. It's planned to be a launch title for the Xbox 360, so make sure to check back for more updates.

TINSEL KOREY is a Canadian actress/singer-songwriter who is best known for playing the beautifully scarred character "Emily" in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. In between projects while also working as an actress, Tinsel released her debut EP, Seize The Day on August 30, 2012.
Although many are not familiar with her as a songwriter, Tinsel has been developing her musical talents from a very young age. The release of this EP is the result of several years of work and collaboration. Recorded at the famous WAX studios in Los Angeles, the Folk Rock album will consist of five news songs, in addition to Tinsel's previously released debut single, "Letter." It is available on iTunes and Amazon.com, as well as most major online outlets.
Korey's career started performing skits as a young child and that passion for her craft led her to pursue her dreams as a professional actress, while maintaining her passion for music. As a teen, she appeared in many commercials, and in 2003, she landed her first television role, on the FOX series "Tru Calling" starring Eliza Dushku. In 2004, while shooting Spielberg's TNT mini-series "Into the West," she composed a song of the same title that became an underground hit. The song eventually caught the attention of actor/producer Jennifer Podemski who invited Korey to perform it on the 2008 Aboriginal Achievement Awards. That year, she traveled throughout the southwest performing in various venues. Korey's independent film "Mothers & Daughters," directed by Carl Bessai (who she had also worked with on "Unnatural & Accidental" in 2006) was included in the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival. Tinsel's films range from "The Lookout" starring Jeff Daniels and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, "Hybrid," to "The Quality of Life." Her most recent works have been the science fiction feature "Avarice," and the feature "Fishing Naked." Her television credits include shows such as "Da Vinci's Inquest," "Godivas," "Intelligence," "The Guard," "Sanctuary" and "Rabbit Fall."
In her free time, Korey travels all throughout North America teaching acting and music to Native American youth who have interest in the entertainment industry. Her course focuses on an art aspect, helping them bring out their own unique talents.
