I'm a voracious eater in San Francisco, and I write about it. Also, I walk fast.
218 E. 3rd AvenueSan Mateo, CATue-Sat 11:30-2, 5-10
I'll be the first to admit that I may be the only person age 25-35 in San Francisco (or any urban city) to not get excited about sushi. Maybe it's that copious amounts Sriracha has burned off my sushi taste buds, or maybe it some unconscious manifestation of my Chinese grandparents' deep-seated racism against the Japanese (a joke, please). The true reason, I think, is that the "sushi" that is widely available is the Applebee's of the true Japanese tradition: old tuna chopped with some spices in it and wrapped in a roll, stringy warm salmon—bleh. And people get more excited when it's "cheap". It makes no sense. I find myself trying to talk friends into getting shabu shabu and ramen or trying to steer them towards Eiji for their silken tofu or fresh strawberry mochi dessert. I've been sort of saved by the izakaya trend. Maybe I'd agree to Sushi Bistro again, for their creativity.
So when my friends Mark and Naomi told me they knew a place I would love called Sushi Sam's ("omg, their omakase is amazing!"), I was afraid to tell them that I was skeptical. Didn't they know me? I was ashamed to speak up.
They weren't wrong—Sushi Sam's is amazing. Tucked within several blocks of equally amazing Asian food in downtown San Mateo (ahem, Little Sheep), it has an inconspicuous storefront. You wouldn't know its awesomeness by their menu, which looks like any other generic sushi joint menu complete with plastic menu protector: edamame, bento box, teriyaki, the usual varietals of spider, California, and spicy tuna rolls.
Don't be fooled: get the sushi omakase (8 pieces ~$40, but you'll want 12). It's served nigiri style in separate courses, in crude cuts of generous proportion but impeccably flavored and paired. The waiter describes each when he brings it, and I can't remember them we went into devour mode. Baby lobster with an odd but genius dried fruit garnish. Delicious fatty piece of slightly seared toro. I suppose they may accommodate dietary restrictions, but I wouldn't risk missing out on whatever sushi surprise they bring. The waiter brought some amuse-bouche of roe to be eaten with a spoon and salted and fried shrimp heads (this was delicious, trust me). My friend dining with us was literally jumping out of his pants.
If you look more closely at the menu, other things stand out. Their Yosenabe ($19) with seafood, chicken, veggies, and glass noodles is warm and filling, a cold-day dish. Their grilled hamachi kama (hamachi tuna collar, A.Q.) was shockingly satisfying, the prime rib of fish.
I can't they have the best sushi in the Bay Area, and compared to sushi in Japan, Sushi Sam's is probably at best Outback level (assuming we agree Outback is ages better than Applebee's…worth another post). But it's so much better than the usual. It's is worth the slight extra you pay and worth the half hour drive from the city. They staff is friendly and let you make a small mess as you stuff your face. I would bring my dad (who always insists on eating Chinese food, even in Copenhagen) here. And, they take reservations.

Comments about Foamy the Clown Mask:
This mask will scare the everything out of people. I used it at a costume party and won scariest costume. I then used it as a scarer in a haunted house my boss did and was the scariest creature in there. Absolutely would recommend this mask to anyone.
Pair it with either a clown suit or I did a cloak with hood, clown shoes and an oversized clown tie.

Comments about Foamy the Clown Mask:
I team this up with the oversize hoop clown costume and shoe covers and it looks fantastically freaky. The mask is extremely soft and comfortable to wear - although I cut the mouth so that I can drink, talk and poke my tongue through it (grosses people out). Mask does become sweaty as it fits like a glove.

This piece on Obama is just mind-bogglingly awful. Essentially, this is the summary: "There are a bunch of vicious rumors online about Obama. Obama denies them, but some random people interviewed assume they're true. Because these random people think the smears might be true, we'll tell you all about the smears, but without saying that they're all false and malicious. Plus, if they are true, it might torpedo his candidacy!"
Seriously. It's like, "Random emails say Obama is a Muslim. He says he's not. But if he is, he's screwed!" It's absurd.
On a related note, for an excellent explanation of how these types of smear emails get started and stay influential, see Chris Hayes's recent Nation article.

Simon Gagne probably wishes he was still a Flyer at this point.
With no points at all in six games and a -8, Gagne was paid a visit by the Injury Ninja and now has a stiff neck. It is a nice way of saying that Gagne may need to stay on your bench for awhile.
It was thought he was going to have so much promise and yet it has started much like Alex Tanguay's stay in Tampa Bay. Odd that a guy with so much potential has gone turkey so fast and now may be a fantasy casualty on rosters already.
All that aside, its now time for this edition of Fantasy Hockey 201
What went right last week for fantasy owners?
Apparently it was the week of the hat trick as quite a few players thought it would be fun to tally three times in a game. However, that was not the only story as some players continues their hot streaks that you should know about.
Let's get into a few as we are tossing out the tables this week and giving you straight numbers you can use.
1. Rene Bourque (LW) — Calgary Flames
He was straight ballin as they say with six goals and an assist in four games this week. Besides the hat trick, he had a two goal effort last night that was a post away from being another hat trick. This week has even ignited the hot and cold Jarome Iginla which has Iginla owners smiling at least for a little bit.
Bourque was a bit banged up in Week 1 for fantasy owners but more than made up for it in Week 2. Just think of how little he did in Chicago and what he is now doing in Calgary.
Can this continue? That is the big question in all of this.
Last year's "breakout" does not seem like that much of a fluke. He could exceed 60 points which would be great in Calgary considering how woeful they were in scoring goals last year (30th in the league btw and under 200 goals). The sneaky fact to throw in is that he has three GWG's on the young season. That leads the NHL.
2. Ondrej Pavelec will play this week.
Atlanta Thrasher fans and all fans have to be happy that Pavelec has been activated from the IR today. Yes he did not play at all in Week 1 and Week 2 except for the two and a half minutes in Game 1, but he could be an important cog in some players and their teams.
There is no question that Pavelec is the future of the Atlanta Thrashers but owners may want to ease him into the lineup as opposed to rushing him. See how he does when he plays first before going all guns ablazing. The bottom line of just the fact that he is playing is great news for everyone.
3. We keep on seeing a lot of Steven Stamkos
Early on in his rookie year, the joke was have you "Seen Stamkos"? Well now he keeps on racking up numbers for fantasy owners like a Sidney Crosby or Alex Ovechkin.
The fear was once he got going that he would not stop. Certainly we are thankful that he has kept up the torrid pace.
Stamkos leads the league with 15 points already with eight goals and seven assists along the way. Stamkos also has three power play tallies and two game winners on his resume as he clearly has been the best fantasy player of the year so far.
Again naysayers will ask can this continue? Consider that in the last month of the year last season, he produced at a pace that was higher than Ovechkin or Crosby, I say it is very possible.
The 100 point barrier looks like it is going down for the count for Stamkos owners. He even could make a push for 110.
4. Sharp as a knife?
Patrick Sharp has eight goals on the young season already and many think he is not done yet, including yours truly.
Winning the Stanley Cup was not enough for this talented Center. Now he wants to become an elite player in the NHL.
Sharp has posted a solid 11 points in eight games. This should not come as a suprise as Sharp made a name for himself in last year's playoffs.
How could people miss on this guy? Well it is simple. Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews still kind of rule the fantasy landscape in Chicago and even Marian Hossa too. Oh by the way, Hossa has seven goals on the year.
Though Sharp may cool off a bit, do not expect a frigid drop like the waters around Lake Michigan. Clearly this guy's stock in fantasy circles keeps rising and will continue to do so.
5. Hat Tricks much?
Yes there were hat tricks this week by Bourque, Daniel Alfredsson, and John Tavares too. Adam Gretz and Chris Botta touched on this for Fanhouse this week as well.
Hat tricks are very good for fantasy owners and some leagues have bonus points specifically set up for hat tricks. Then there is always the unexpected like the Brad Richardson hat trick against the Avs in a 6-4 win. Even Stamkos and Alexander Semin joined the party so over a two night period, there were six three goal nights combined. Quirky thing about the Stamkos hat trick and this should make fantasy owners drool is this. Each goal in his hat trick was scored with under three minutes left in the period. The guy knows clutch.
6. There were some great goaltending performances too……
Thanks to Fanhouse for these as I had forgot a few and a special stick tap to CB.
Goaltending Greatness: Jaroslav Halak stopped all 31 shots through regulation and one minute of overtime to blank Pittsburgh on Saturday in the Blues' 1-0 win … Nashville's Pekka Rinne shut out Dallas on Saturday, 1-0, making 30 saves … Behind outstanding team defense, Carey Price stopped all 19 shots in Montreal's 3-0 shutout in Ottawa on Saturday … In his first start of the season, Curtis McElhinney made 40 saves in leading the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 win in Philadelphia on Thursday … Faced with another chorus of skepticism about how much he has left to give, Martin Brodeur had another shutout in Montreal on Thursday, stopping 30 shots in a 3-0 win … In his best performance so far as a Blackhawk, Marty Turco made 36 saves in regulation in Chicago's 2-1 shootout win over Roberto Luongo and the Vancouver Blackhawks … Cam Ward was back in Stanley Cup form as he made 42 saves in Carolina's 5-2 victory in San Jose on Tuesday. (CB)
7. One last thing……
The player to keep an eye out on all year will be Chris Stewart of the Colorado Avalanche. He was already good last year but this year he has started out great. I fully expect this player to exceed last year's 60+ point campaign for the Avs and may challenge Paul Stastny for the team lead in scoring.
So for every up….there has to be some down…..right?
It just seems for some reason that there always has to be a "Debbie Downer" for all this good fantasy news…right?
Well sadly it is very true.
Alexei Kovalev still has no goals and even fires blanks for shots now. Guys like Henrik Sedin have not even scored yet. It truly has to be something wrong or rotten in Denmark.
1. Jamie And The Devils
Basically a captain needs to lead and well score every so often. In nine games, Langenbrunner has no goals and has missed several wide open chances that even a caveman could convert. There was a couple chances last night that a captain needed to bury and again it did not happen.
Surely the captain is pressing and basically at this point, issues of the "C" are coming up from every angle. The team is 2-6-1 and sorry Kovalchuk bashers, at least Kovalchuk has netted a GWG and a little better +/- than most Devil players right now. Captain Grumpy is a -6 and who knows what will cure that ailment.
Other players that we are still looking for are Patrik Elias, Andy Greene (who does not mean wins anymore), and well there are those injured players like Brian Rolston who were pretty well fantasy irrelevant anyway.
Maybe a trip to the West Coast will help but then again who knows. One guy that is playing better of late is Brodeur who has only given up two GA in his last two starts.
2. AO is human after all….
After having eight points in Week 1 for fantasy owners, Ovechkin forgot that whole points thing in Week 2. Do we really expect this to continue? Of course not. This is Alexander Ovechkin after all who really has only had one prolonged slump in his career and a home and home with Boston can be tough on any premiere scorer. Expect him to bounce back and relatively soon.
3. Say no to Pierre
We have heard that Pierre-Marc Bouchard is well on his way back after a myriad of injuries. PMB is skating in drills now and could be back soon enough for Minnesota. We say "just say no" to PMB.
So are we down on PMB? Yes, as in down in a bad way. Surely he has some upside but he is more injury prone than Marian Gaborik ever was and talent-wise, it is not even close. New Wire Trolls will be coming in the next few weeks so keep an eye out.
4. Those Vancouver Canucks……
You may want to actually stay away from this week. Vancouver only plays once in the fantasy week and that is tomorrow night against Colorado before taking nearly a week off. So if guys like Luongo and the Sedin twins have an off night, you will not get much from them. It could be that week to give them a well deserved rest as their schedule does condense some in November and that is a good thing for fantasy hockey owners.
Look Ahead To Week 3
We are always asked what to expect for a week and there is no real scientific guess but there is always some intrigue when a slumping team goes West like the Devils . Wednesday is going to be a very strange litmus test as the San Jose Sharks are nto exactly worldbeaters this early in the campaign right now. It shapes up to be a very interesting matchup and is our fantasy tilt of the week.
Will Brodeur play well again? Will Joe Thornton and company wake up? Will Langenbrunner score a goal?
There are many questions in this one with few foreseeable answers. Our suggestion is to watch and enjoy but if you have any of these players…how this game goes may determine hit or miss for the week.
We give you ten players and bluntly tell you hit or miss for Week 3.
- 1. Jamie Langenbrunner — Miss
- 2. Henrik Sedin — Miss
- 3. Roberto Luongo — Miss
- 4. Craig Anderson — Hit
- 5. Ilya Kovalchuk — Hit
- 6. Henrik Lundqvist — Hit
- 7. Alex Ovechkin — Hit
- 8. Clarke MacArthur — Miss
- 9. Paul Martin — Miss
- 10. Freight line in Boston — Hit
Yes it is a fun way to cap this crazy look back and look ahead. Next week we will do this a bit different with our Fireballs and Icicles version of players of the month. Stay tuned and good luck with your fantasy weeks. Expect more FH101 and 201 as always.
A special note for everyone out there, we will be holding a special Hockey Fights Cancer themed show to the end the month of Sunday, October 31st at 8pm ET on The Program. We hope everyone can at least get in on this exciting show for a great cause. The list of guests keeps on growing and the number to dial in with your stories and more is 1-347-826-7358. Thanks so much.

Films, television, and new media often serve the globalization aims of a capitalist society as they function to socially reproduce the hegemonic norms, values, and styles of the larger society," says Kashani. "Chapters in this book use critical theory to look at issues of free market fundamentalism; journalism's erosion of communication of truth; public relations ethics of perception management; yielding self censorship in the media; entertainment media pedagogically cultivating consumerism and docility; music and morality; misrepresentation of resistance movements; ethics of spectatorship; and the transformation of everyday ethics."
Kashani received his Ph.D. in humanities from the California Institute of Integral Studies. He is a faculty member for Argosy University and in the Liberal Arts Department of Brandman University. He holds a Master of Arts degree in Cinema Studies and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Broadcast and Electronic Communication Art from San Francisco State University.
Aside from many scholarly articles, Dr. Kashani is the author of two editions of Deconstructing the Mystique: An Interdisciplinary Introduction to Cinema (2005, 2009), a textbook used at various universities in the United States. He is also a co-editor and a contributor to Hollywood's Exploited: Public Pedagogy, Corporate Movies, and Cultural Crisis (2010). Currently, Dr. Kashani is working on a book manuscript on learning ethics through cinema.

Giving Societies
Trevecca Society
The Trevecca Society was initiated to recognize those who give at leadership levels to Trevecca Nazarene University. Members of the Trevecca Society significantly help empower students to go out and make a difference, to become world-changers, leap-takers. Gifts from Trevecca Society members impact Trevecca students by giving them experiences that inspire new passion and excitement for what they were made to do . . . to be.
Because these individuals, organizations, and others believe so strongly in the mission and vision of Trevecca, they annually contribute $1,000 or more for various projects and programs. They are committed to helping Trevecca succeed, and they give generously to ensure that it does.
Trevecca is a place that enlightens students to a broader world-view. It offers ways for students to feed their minds and fill their souls. It helps students discover their purpose. In light of that, the Trevecca Society helps change the world through investing in Trevecca Nazarene University, a place that changes lives.
Those graduating in the previous 5 years will be welcomed to join for annual gifts of $500 or more. Also, those who give $500 or more and whose gifts are matched by their employer will become members.
Who are members of the Trevecca Society?
- An alumna inspired by a Trevecca professor to follow her dreams.
- Parents of a current Trevecca student who see how their son is maturing mentally and spiritually.
- A pastor who time and again sees God's work through Trevecca alumni in the local church.
- A businessman who hired Trevecca students because of their strong work ethic and integrity.
- An organization that wants its contributions to go to a school that prepares students for leadership.
- A Trevecca employee who feels blessed to work at such an enthusiastically Christian institution.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I make a gift and become a Trevecca Society member?
Gifts of $1,000 or more made during the University's fiscal year (July 1-June 30) qualify you for annual Trevecca Society membership. Your gifts may be made with one payment or by multiple gifts within the University's fiscal year. Any gift to Trevecca made during the fiscal year will be counted toward Society membership.
You can make your gifts to Trevecca by check, credit card payments (MasterCard, Visa and Discover), automatic monthly bank drafts, or by transfer of securities and property. Credit card gifts may be made through Trevecca's secure website here or by phone at 615-248-1355.
Do I make my gift to the Trevecca Society?
The Trevecca Society recognizes donors who support the University with their gifts totaling $1,000 or more to various programs, initiatives and funds. Therefore, gifts are not directed to the Trevecca Society, but instead, to the University and its various programs.
Will my spouse also be a member?
Both spouses are members of the Trevecca Society with a joint gift of $1,000 or more within a fiscal year.
My employer will match contributions to the University. Will their contribution count toward my membership?
Yes. Because the University would not have access to your employer's matching gift without your own contribution, your employer's gift will count toward your annual Trevecca Society membership.
How long will I be a member of the Trevecca Society once I make my gift?
The Trevecca Society recognizes gifts made within a fiscal year. Therefore, membership is renewable on an annual basis.
I have questions. Whom do I call?
You may call the Office of External Relations at 615-248-1447 or e-mail Christy Grant, director of developmental operations, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Trevecca Legacy Partners
Trevecca Legacy Partners provide opportunity for investing in transformation.
Trevecca Nazarene University has established a new recognition group for alumni and friends who have included the University in their estate plans. Trevecca Legacy Partners are individuals who are interested in the University's mission to prepare students for lives of leadership and service. Through their gifts and estate plans, Trevecca Legacy Partners commit to leave a legacy that helps ensure Trevecca will continue to impact the lives of students through a transforming educational experience.
Trevecca Nazarene University may be designated within estate plans in a number of ways. Planned gifts may be made through bequest designations, charitable gift annuity, trusts, or life insurance policies. A specific amount or percentage of an overall estate may be designated for the University.
If you would like more information about how you can become a Trevecca Legacy Partner or have any questions about including the University in your estate planning, contact the Office of External Relations at 615-248-1355 or contact Rick Underwood, Senior Stewardship Officer and Director of Planned Giving at firstname.lastname@example.com.
1901 Society
The 1901 Society is comprised of all current undergraduate students who make a gift of any size to Trevecca. Many students choose to designate their gifts to certain programs or projects – but if the gift is not designated the money goes into a fund to support the All-School Gift (sponsored by Student Government) for that year.
Students in the 1901 Society are special because they recognize while they are still in school that others have helped make their education possible – and they want to do their part in making Trevecca a better place for generations to come.
Trojan Boosters
The Trojan Boosters Endowment became a reality on April 4, 1988, when Dwight Ragsdale and then Trevecca President Homer Adams signed the papers forming the endowment. Funds are raised in several ways including the annual golf tournament and a men's basketball tournament.
To date, there has been $198,326.00 awarded as athletic scholarships and currently there is more than $470,744.00 in the corpus earning interest for additional scholarships. There are 150 Fellow, 35 Fellows-in-Progress and 20 Fellows-in-Memorial.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Kalamazoo County's Dive Team recovered the body of a 35-year-old Kent County man who fell off a fishing boat in Gull Lake and apparently drowned Saturday mid-morning.
Deputies say the man and a woman had used a public access point to launch their boat and they were making their way into the lake when the boat suddenly lurched and witnesses say they were both thrown into the water.
She was able to tread water until other boaters came to her rescue, but the man was not.
The couple wasn't wearing life jackets. Divers found his body just before 4 p.m. It's being investigated.
The name of the victim has not been released.
The National Safe Boating Council says with the summer season waning and Labor Day weekend a busy time for people who want to enjoy their boats one last time for the season, its important that they remember to wear their life jackets.
The U.S. Coast Guard says 85% of drowning victims in recreational boating accidents last year, died because they were not wearing life preservers.

BUCKNER — Oldham County had thrice had the lead in the game, but with 1:53 left in the game, the Colonels trailed visiting Jeffersontown by four.
On fourth down and 10, backup senior quarterback Stephen Farrow avoided a sack at midfield, scrambled to his left and fighting off a tackle, somehow got a pass off to senior wide receiver Kerry Smith, 20-yards downfield.
But the ball fell off Smith's fingertips and the Chargers ran out the clock for a 40-36 win, Friday.
LOUISVILLE — For the first game of its KHSAA State Volleyball Tournament opener, North Oldham played the way it wanted to play and easily won.
But in the second game, the Lady Mustangs got away from their gameplan, prompting coach Brian Jones to call a timeout, up 9-8 over Letcher County Central. North Oldham got past the Lady Cougars 2-0, but if it's to advance further in the tournament at Bellarmine's Knights Hall, there can't be any letting off the throttle.
BUCKNER--- According to the National federation of High schools, Rule 12, section 7, article 3: An indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team, "If the goalkeeper touches the ball with his/her hands after it is deliberately kicked by a player to his/her own goalkeeper."
In large part because of this rule and the referee's call that Oldham County violated the 'back pass' rule, the Colonels' season ended Monday night with a 2-0 loss to St. Xavier in the state sub-sectional round at Oldham County.
BUCKNER--- Penalty kicks were the only thing standing in the way of the Lady Colonels and a region girls' soccer championship.
Oldham County scored the game's first goal, just into the second half, but Christian Academy of Louisville evened the score to send the game into extra time, where it would ultimately defeat the Lady Colonels 3-1 in penalty kicks.
GOSHEN – All junior running back Jacob Raymond wanted was a chance to get into the secondary.
Thanks to a dominating performance from his offensive line, he got more than enough chances, rushing for 231 yards on 21 carries to lead North Oldham to a 42-13 district win over Spencer County.
After the game, Raymond first gave praise to his offensive line, which calls itself, 'the fist.'
"Like always, they were great," Raymond said. "Get a good push so I can get into the secondary and I can do what I do."
LOUISVILLE--- Turnovers are usually key to any victory.
In the first five minutes, Oldham County forced two Ballard turnovers inside the visitor's 20 yard-line. But neither resulted in a point. The chances were there, but the Colonels weren't able to do much with them, falling to the Bruins 26-7.
HEBRON ESTATES — While his players were celebrating, North Oldham coach Brian Jones had something clutched in his arms.
He didn't want to let go of the trophy the Lady Mustangs had just been presented in their 25-15, 25-20 win over Oldham County in the eighth region championship game at North Bullitt.
LOUISVILLE — The first one might have been a bit of luck.
On a scrum in front of the Ballard net, Oldham County senior midfielder Cameron Bryant put his right foot on the ball, which found the back of the net.
Bryant's second goal was clutch and all him. His penalty kick goal gave the Colonels a 2-1 win on a 3-2 penalty kick advantage in the boys soccer championship at Ballard.
BUCKNER — As he gathered his players in front of the Oldham County bench after the game, Lady Colonels coach Dan Schulz told his players what he thought about their standing in the 8th region tournament.
Oldham County had just defeated Eastern 3-0 in the first round of the regional tournament.
"We're the best team in the region," Schulz said. "CAL (Christian Academy of Louisville) thinks they know what they're in for. But they don't."
He got a little help, but junior forward Jared Kemper came up with a hat trick to begin Oldham County's march in the 8th region tournament at Ballard tonight.
Kemper scored two goals in the first half and one in the second half to lead the Colonels to a 4-1 win over Christian Academy of Louisville.
Kemper's third goal came on a penalty kick in the second half, after he was thrown down by Centurions junior goalkeeper Trevor Black in a scramble on a corner kick. Black was red carded and ejected on the play.

Downtown St. Paul - fancy-ish
- j
- Josh Resnik Feb 5, 2007 06:36 PM
My uncle is coming to town in a couple weeks for business and is looking for a nice restaurant in downtown St. Paul for a client meeting. Since I get to come along, I have a vested interest in picking a good spot.
My first thought was Au Rebours. I have not been there, however, in about 4 years so I am not sure if it is still good. Has anyone dined there recently?
He had heard about Pazzaluna, which I am not a big fan of. The other places that came to mind were St. Paul Grill, Kincaid's, and Sakura (which I love, but probably is not the right atmosphere for the meeting).
Since our baby was born 16 months ago we have not made it over to St. Paul as much (especially downtown), except for my occasional trips to Wild games when I am not fine dining. What would you guys recommend? I think he wants to stay within walking distance of the St. Paul Hotel.
We went to Kincaid's the other night for dinner and it was mediocre. The appetizer sampler was pretty much TGI Friday's quality. For an entree I got the filet mignon which was good but the scalloped potatoes and fried onions completely overwhelmed the plate and just made me feel greasy and heavy. The bill came to about $75 per person which seemed high considering we all had 1-2 drinks, shared appetizer and no dessert.
So, now that I've talked you out of that one, I have no good suggestions. We just don't make it to downtown St Paul that ofen.
Unfortunately, downtown St. Paul is slim in pickings.
I think St. Paul Grill is your best option. I actually like St. Paul Grill because I've always had great service and the food is good.
Pazzaluna is just okay (rather casual) and Fhima's is overrated and Kincaid's is just as katebauer described above. St. Paul Grill. Good luck.
re: rviot
I've been to A Rebours several times in the past year. The food has been quite good, the service great, but overpriced in my view. We last went to Kincaid's about a year ago and won't go back. We went to Pazzaluna once and found it deplorable. Fhima's, while not the greatest restaurant in town, is an occasion in itself if you haven't seen the inside. I wouldn't nix it.
But overall, I think A Rebours is your best bet.
St Paul Grill - would be the first choice
Pazz - just ok, never had a bad meal there - but they must not have been great since we never go back unless someone else picks it!
Kincaids - sorry to hear a downward trend - I usually just grab something & a drink at the bar. Its been pretty reliable.
Fhimas - just say no.
That's about it.
There are a few other places which I would recommend but I don't know if you want to catch a cab or leave downtown.
Plus these are a little less on the expense account scale.....
Lexington on grand (at lexington)
La Grolla (selby)
Heartland (st clair)
downtowner wood fire grill (west 7th)
re: St Paul Susie
I would second the Downtowner, I wanted to suggest it but couldn't remember the name.
I would say a rebours or saint paul grill. They're so different though I think I might ask them after giving a little description of each..
I love Au Rebours for lunch and dinner. I also love the bar at the St. Paul Hotel - it is wonderful and I especially like having a cocktail at the SPH during the winter when it's freezing outside and warm and toasty inside. The bar is beautiful, the bartenders knowledgeable and they can pour a good drink.
Sakura is the best fancy restaurant in downtown Saint Paul. Au Rebors is close second. The rest are showy with bad food.
La Grolla ... don't bother. It's no better than Pazza Luna really. If you want fancy Italian in the Twin Cities, Luci is the place unless you're a partner in a big downtown law firm. Then go to D'Amico Cucina.
Now, if you're looking for a chili dog with a bun fried in butter or a butter-like substance, served in an atmosphere of overt hostility with deer heads on the walls and pictures of hockey teams dressed only in jock straps...maybe the client would like this? If so, go to The Gopher.
re: JimGrinsfelder
HA! So often I seek an overtly hostile environment and it's so hard to find one. Now I need look no farther than the Gopher. ;-)
Josh...how many attending, how formal of a meeting and how picky are the eaters?
Without knowing these, my reflexive answer for #1 is SPG as they are bound to provide the highest level of service and have some nice private dining options. Kincaids should will provide very good service on a consistent basis and has a slightly broader menu. Au Rebous and Pazzaluna are ok for food & service, but they both tend to have pretty bad conversational acoustics...especially Au Rebous.
I have to put in a good word for Pazzaluna. While I haven't eaten in the restaurant, my wife and I have eaten in the bar many times and always had wonderful food. The pizzas and antipasti have always been great.
I'll also second Margaux, but it isn't a great place for a meeting at night. I think St. Paul Grill is the best bet.

An online journal about visual art, the urban landscape and design. Mary Louise Schumacher, the Journal Sentinel's art and architecture critic, leads the discussion and a community of writers contribute to the dialogue.
Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it.
Within a day, the wall was covered in colorful chalk, as people stopped to reflect on their lives and their goals in a public space. People wrote that they wanted to "sing for millions," "hold her one more time," "straddle the International Date Line," "see my daughter graduate," "eat more everything," "abandon all insecurities," "plant a tree" or "be completely myself."
The genuine and anonymous responses were such a powerful consolation to Chang and a gift to the community that came together to make sense of life.
The project has since been replicated 350 times, in more 25 languages and in more than 60 countries, including Kazakhstan, Portugal, Japan, Denmark, Iraq, Argentina and South Africa. To celebrate the publication of the book "Before I Die" on Nov. 5, there will be a "Day of Walls" across the country, with new walls going up in Manhattan, Brooklyn, St. Paul, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee and elsewhere.
The Milwaukee wall will be created by artist Kristina Rolander and put up outside of the Sky High Skateboard Shop and Gallery, 2501 S. Howell Ave. This project will offer the public a chance to reflect and connect by adding to it with aspirations. It will run through December 4th. Rolander is an artist, book designer and mother of two. She is a 2001 MIAD graduate.

This is a wonderful project and I'm grateful to Mary Louise for bringing it to our attention. But is it art? I don't question the credentials of the original artist who started these proliferating walls of grief and hope, but is everything an artist does to be considered art? Many artists do valuable things in addition to their works of art. Some of these things are valuable to the individual and the community. Does that make it art? I'm pretty open-minded on this subject and I probably can be counted on to allow for a more generous definition of art than many people. But I'm wondering about this one.

I guess I was pretty lucky as a preggers lady: Strangers groping my belly were never a problem. In fact, I don't think a single person I didn't know ever attempted to touch my bump without asking; "acquaintances" who thought, mistakenly, that they knew me well enough to invade my personal space were more of an annoyance. Not every mom-to-be is quite so lucky, however -- particularly those in Pennsylvania, where a law was just passed banning strangers from touching pregnant women's bellies. Whoa! What the heck is going on in Pennsylvania, exactly, to necessitate the passing of such a law? Are hordes of bandit belly-gropers roaming the streets, terrorizing expectant moms??
More from The Stir: Are Pregnant Bellies Public Domain?
Not exactly, as it turns out: The law was inspired by one case involving harrassment charges against a man accused of unwanted tummy-touching. But the legislation brings up an interesting point ... why do people think it's perfectly fine to just walk right up to a woman they've never met before and rub her stomach as if a genie might pop out? And, for that matter, why do people think it's perfectly fine to just walk right up to someone they sort of know casually and rub her stomach as if a genie might pop out?
I actually don't think people mean any harm when they commit this breach of etiquette; I think it's more of a case of people liking babies and everything to do with babies and wanting to experience the magic (because it truly is magical) of feeling a tiny person move around inside another person. Of course, that doesn't mean it's not profoundly irritating and even mildly creepy when you're the target of this unwanted, er, affection, for lack of a better word.
I don't know; it's been over 8 years since I've had to deal with this type of unwelcome advance and, as I said, strangers weren't really an issue for me. But I still have to wonder whether a law like this is really going to be useful.
Do you think a law banning the groping of pregnant women's bellies will make a difference for moms-to-be?

nothing like running and adding more laws...over one case....its already a crime to touch people unwanted..
Unless the law includes ANYbody touching a pregnant belly, I fail to see how this will solve much. I had more issues with people I know casually thinking it was okay. Here's a good rule of thumb: If you didn't put it there, DON'T TOUCH IT!!
I'm okay with this since I knew a girl who hated having her belly touched when she was preggers and used to yell at them when they did (she is generally a no touchy person anyway). I personally would never touch a pregnant woman's belly unless they gave me they OK and wouldn't be OK either (again, I'm not one to like having my belly touched even when I'm not preggers) and it's sad we have to resort to making a law fro something that should be common sense.
If nothing else, maybe the publicity of the law will make more people aware that it is NOT OKAY to touch pregnant bellies (there's a person attached after all), without permission. It's frickin' creepy as hell, anyway.
I live in PA...am shocked to be honest. If pregnant women won't stand up for themselves then they deserve to have people touch their bellies. I have never had this happen without people asking..and people that I am either neighbors with or family. I have never just had a stranger walk up to me and touch. So no I disagree with the law..stand up for yourself if you are uncomfortable with it!
I never minded people I knew touching my belly, and never had strangers touch my belly, however I've had issues with stangers wanting to touch my new baby, and my daughter when she was a baby without permission.

Athletes often say they must have a short memory during a season, especially following disappointing losses. Defenseman Ryan McDonagh this morning said the team must quickly forget about last night's 4-2 defeat against the Flyers and look ahead to the team's final six games as they continue to push towards the playoffs. McDonagh spoke about that mindset with reporters, as well as being mentally prepared for the start of each game, avoiding a "trap" game with teams not competiting for a playoff spot, the team's continued poor starts to games and Marc Staal's continued progress towards getting back in the lineup.

The lawyer for Lindsay Lohan's latest accuser just went off on live television -- claiming the actress has proven time and time again ... she spews nothing but lies ... and her "I was at home" excuse is no exception.
Mark Haushalter -- the lawyer for Lindsay's assault-accuser Marisa Dugas -- appeared on Good Day L.A. this morning, blasting Lindsay's alibi that she couldn't have attacked his client at The Standard Hotel last weekend ... because she was at home watching TV.
Mark said, "Let's not forget Lindsay Lohan has a drug addiction problem, a drinking problem, and has been convicted of crimes of dishonesty."
According to Mark, Lindsay's excuse counts for jack squat -- because "Once a liar, always a liar."
He's a lawyer and he has the nerve to call someone ELSE a liar? She's not the most trustworthy but I can't believe that not a single paparazzi got a shot of her out at a club.
Bet Obama, pics him up to be one of his political advisor's. He would fit right in with this clown show.
Get real man! You haters say Lindsays pays someone off when it suits you. How about this for an answer, Lilo isn't the Standard's only customer, they have a privacy policy like most clubs, there were many celebrities there that night, if they pass the tapes over they would be giving information out about the other customers. They will give the tapes to police after a supeona is issued. Its normal.
I REALLY don't like this guy. Anyone that makes me feel sympathy for Lindsay has to be truly awful.
This is ridiculous! So now every time you are barely touched or spoken to by a famous person you have to report it?? As far as I know, the person did not go to the hospital and walked out on her own so she couldn't have been hurt badly...so who really cares?? Linsey is not a nun and never will be but did she really hurt anyone?? Get a life and let's move on...
Everyone knows the paps follow Lindsay around everywhere, so surely if she was out in public, there has to be a pic somewhere. If not, this person had better hope there is security camera footage that clearly shows Lindsay in that club at the time all this went down.
Prove it a**hole. Know one whats to give her a chance to prove that shes changed. What if she was your kid. Those without sin cast the first stone. Give her a change.
I wonder if she's going to sue him for his remarks.
Supposedly the "victim" shopped her story around to the tabloids and only filed a police report when she was told no one would buy what she was selling without one. I'm not a Lindsay fan, but this one thing raises far too many flags on my believability meter. Add to this that only recently has anyone come forward to say Lindsay was even there. At the time, no one saw her.
This is strangely reminiscent of another female a few months back who claimed a certain (then) underage celebrity had fathered her child.
I actually feel sorry for the rich and famous having to deal with these flakes.
Oh my, is this guy really a lawyer? If he had any sense he would have kept his mouth shut. By dragging up Lindsays past and calling her names has harmed him and his client, he seems more that a bit desperate, he lost the plot. He's an uncouth bully.
Wouldn't be funny if it turns out this chick got Lindsay confused with Amanda Bynes? I mean, wasn't Amanda at The Standard the same night this apparently went down? The two have a very similar appearance. Things that make you go...hmmmmmm...
Lindsay has recovered from her addictions. You know how I know? Because she wasn't treated by Dr. Drew, that's how I know.
The lawyer needs to apply the "once a liar" epitaph to himself.
publicity stunt. a good lawyer wouldn't be going out on TV for this if he actually had a case.
team Lindsay
If this woman and her lawyer cannot prove her allegations they just left themselves wide open to a defamation lawsuit.

CALUMET CITY | Unfortunately, esteemed movie critic Roger Ebert was not available for the public screening of Walter Banasiak's debut documentary.
Instead, Banasiak was anxious about a pending review from another cancer patient.
"For him, like most everyone else here, this is the first time he'll see it," Banasiak said of Barry Piotrowski, the subject of "Life on the Ropes: The Barry Ryte Story."
"I can't wait to see how it turned out," said Piotrowski, a professional wrestler who normally goes by the ring name "Barry Ryte."
"Believe me, if I don't like it, (Banasiak) will be the first one to know," Piotrowski said during the film's introduction. "I'll likely be the one throwing popcorn at the screen."
The screening took place April 6 at T.F. North High School, where Piotrowski and Banasiak both graduated in 2007. The long-time friends actively pursued their passions after high school. For Piotrowski, it was to become a professional wrestler. For Banasiak, it was to become a filmmaker.
Both managed to make headway in chasing their dreams. Piotrowski cracked Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Top 500 wrestlers in the world list, and was selected to take part in the Super 8 Tournament, which showcases the top independent wrestlers in the country.
Banasiak, a film major at Governor's State University, went on form Code 10 Studios with collaborator Harry Locke IV, and has produced eight films thus far.
For Piotrowski, his storyline took unexpected twist. Just before he was to participate in the Super 8 Tournament during the summer of 2010, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Banasiak was granted access to document Piotrowski and his family's odyssey from immediately after the diagnosis through the recovery and comeback. In the film, Piotrowski, his parents and his girlfriend offer detailed narrative about the physical and emotional process, as well as shedding light on the devastating financial toll a substantial illness can inflict when pre-existing conditions prevent continued insurance coverage coupled with falling short of qualifying for aide.
The documentary ends in ironic triumph with Piotrowski, now wrestling under the name "Dan Barone", getting spine-busted and back-pack slammed in an ill-fated handicap match against WWE superstar "Ryback" during a "RAW" show last summer.
Believe it or not, Piotrowski is hoping for a rematch.
"I'm looking forward for another (WWE) tryout ... I worked on a lot of things they told me to work on," said Piotrowski, who was due to perform at a GALLI Wrestling show the following weekend in Villa Park.
After the closing credits, which noted encouraging signs that Piotrowski is cancer free, the documentary received a standing ovation from a decent-sized audience as well as a "thumbs up" from Piotrowski himself.
It took Banasiak about 18 months to produce the documentary. His other seven films are narrative fiction features
"I'm not working on anything right now since we've been doing a lot of running around getting this ready," Banasiak said. "From here, we're going to focus on getting this commercially released."
Banasiak is a big fan of Chris Nolan, director of the "Dark Knight" Batman movies as well as "Memento" and "Inception", and of John Avildsen.
"'Rocky' is one of my favorite movies," Banasiak said of the Academy Award-winning film directed by Avildsen.
Can't go wrong with an underdog, against-all-odds script, especially when it's non-fiction.

Happy Earth Day!
Earth Day is finally here. Hopefully you've outfitted yourself accordingly: vegan ballerina flats? Check. Organic cotton T-shirt and leggings combo? Check. Green-leaning tinted moisturizer with SPF protection? Obviously. We invite you to peruse our Natural Beauty column to remind yourself of all of the eco-friendly products and promos we've posted this month; if you feel like going the extra mile on your lunch break, here are three eco adventures you can take in New York City today to properly fête the planet.
What: Burt's Bees makes smoothies—with bikes!
Where: Look out for an army of Burt lookalikes equipped with beards and striped conductor hats handing out similar costuming materials around Rockefeller Center and in Central Park and directing you toward Times Square, where a flock of Burt's will be churning out pedal-powered fruity beverages.
When: From 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
What: Fresh does clay and highbrow cooking.
Where: Award-winning chef Michel Nischan will be serving up tips and small bites from his new cookbook, Sustainably Delicious, at Fresh's Union Square location at 872 Broadway. Today also marks the launch of the brand's new Umbrian Clay Bar, an in-store station where the cult ingredient will be available for purchase in its pure, loose powder form. 10 percent of today's sales will be donated to the Wholesome Wave Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making affordable, locally grown foods available to everyone.
When: From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
What: Lavera at the Green Shows
Where: If you have yet to check out Grand Central Terminal's luxury eco pop-up bazaar, today would be a good day to drop by. Among the stalls, which boast organic and naturally derived fashion, beauty, and lifestyle items, is Lavera, the German natural beauty giant that's steadily building up its cred stateside. The company's mineral pigment lipsticks with organic shea butter and almond oil are a personal favorite.
When: Open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

President Barack Obama's sudden decision to finally get tough on banks and their constant abuse of consumers and the public trusts signals an end to the financial industry friendly tactics of Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and a return to the more regulation options pushed by Paul Volcker.
It could also mean Geithner is headed for the exits.
For some, Geithner can not leave the Obama administration soon enough. Critics have long regarded him as too cozy with the financial industry he was supposed to regulate. Others saw him as one of the architects of the financial crisis that helped spur the greatest recession since the great depression.
The banking industry, which got everything it wanted from Geithner, disagrees.
For much of last year, Paul Volcker wandered the country arguing for tougher restraints on big banks while the Obama administration pursued a more moderate regulatory agenda driven by Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner.
Thursday morning at the White House, it seemed as if the two men had swapped places. A beaming Volcker stood at Obama's right as the president endorsed his proposal and branded it the "Volcker Rule." Geithner stood farther away, compelled to accommodate a stance he once considered less effective than his own.
The moment was the product of Volcker's persistence and a desire by the White House to impose sharper checks on the financial industry than Geithner had been advocating, according to some government sources and political analysts. It was Obama's most visible break yet from the reform philosophy that Geithner and his allies had been promoting earlier.
Advocates of Volcker's ideas were delighted. "This is a complete change of policy that was announced today. It's a fundamental shift," said Simon Johnson, a professor at MIT's Sloan School of Management. "This is coming from the political side. There are classic signs of major policy changes under pressure . . . but in a new and much more sensible direction."
Industry officials, however, said they were startled and disheartened that Geithner was overruled, in part because they supported the more moderate approach Geithner proposed last year.
5 Responses to "Obama's shift on banks: Geithner on way out?"
What's the difference? He's just one of many, a scapegoat that will go on to bigger and better things while the rest carry on business as usual; a fall guy to appease the masses. I'm sure he'll be rewarded handsomely for falling on his sword. A lucrative position at Goldman Sachs, perhaps.
Pure theartre.
We want indictments. Lots of 'em.
Second that, Griff. End the theatre. Indict.
Actually, Geithner is probably the most powerful man in the government…including Obama. Geithner might be the most powerful man in the world, considering his relationship and power over the very foundation of our financial and economic health and well being. But more than that, his power can affect most every other nation in the world.
He's walked miles around the legislative means that could stop the banking, insurance, and market institution from raping America and other nations. There are 3 pieces of legislation that could be repealed or altered to prevent these institutions from having the power to legally gamble away savings, retirement, and investment funds…without consequence. There are no legal consequnces. The laws are on their side. If necessary, the taxpayers will back their loses and ante up more bucks that will enable the gambling addictions.
I've mentioned that I analyze photo's associated with an article. Geithner's everso crooked, ratlike, scheming sneer would be good meat for the Pulitzer price winning caricaturist "Ramirez" with him creating a "Willy the Rat" equivalent of this mattoid.
I urge folks that are not familiar with this cartoonist's brilliance to look up his politically based cartoons and marvel at the genius behind his pen. He's the syndicated, featured cartoonist for IBD (Investors Business Daily) to which I subscribe.
I've noticed that SOT Geithner looks a bit uneasy off to the side while the President talks of reining in the banks through stricter Federal governance. Hopefully Obama will have the "starch" to give this guy the ol' seaboot launch over the stern of the USS America; immediately if not sooner into shark infested waters. : )

Paint manufacturer downgrades full-year outlook
Minneapolis paint-maker Valspar Corp. missed its first-quarter profit mark and lowered full-year guidance Tuesday after weak international sales.
Revenue fell 1.2 percent to $875 million, compared with a year earlier. Profits for the quarter ended Jan. 26 were down 1.4 percent to $55.8 million, or 60 cents per share. The capital IQ Consensus estimate was 67 cents.
The company adjusted full-year guidance to $3.60 to $3.80 to reflect weak demand overseas.
"Although we made substantial progress this quarter on a number of key initiatives, international markets were weaker than anticipated," CEO Gary Hendrickson said in a statement. "We continued to invest in our long-term opportunities and remain confident we will achieve our new business plans for the full year."
Shares were down about 6 percent in premarket trading.

Dawn of the Golden Promise...Review
With passion and power, gifted novelist B.J. Hoff ignites the pages in this eagerly awaited fifth book of the Emerald Ballad saga, weaving a spellbinding tale of courageous individuals on both sides of the Atlantic those who left their homeland of Ireland to make a new life in America, and those who remained behind, anchored to the terrible beauty and mystery of the Emerald Isle:
Morgan Fitzgerald, confined to a wheelchair because of an assailant's bullet to his spine. Now he must confront the ultimate challenge to his faith a choice that could cost him everything the woman he loves, his family, even his life.
His wife Finola, facing her own moment of truth the hidden memories and dark secrets of her past that could well destroy her-unless she can find the strength to face them.
Michael Burke, a New York City cop caught in the conflict between his faith and his obsession with bringing Patrick Walsh to justice.
These and other unforgettable characters will captivate your heart and inspire your spirit with their faithfulness, their endurance-their reality.
Wow. What a fantastic ending to a fabulous series. I have loved the roller coaster that is the Emerald Ballad series. As these characters find answers, they also discover strengths previously unknown. More importantly, as they each recognize the path God has chosen for them, they discover that he will not leave them alone as they travel it.
With drama and sorrow, with faith and hope, and with Christmas miracles, everyone's stories come together at the end.

I've often looked at this author's works and wondered what her books were like; they sound good though. =D
