- deebeeAVIPDined on 9/27/2014We only go there before the opera, and it's become our standby for those evenings. To be honest, if more places were open in the area on Saturdays, we might not seek this place out, but it's been reliable, and it's just across the street from the opera. The food is good, adequate choices, and they offer discounted parking for dinner and opera. That's a good deal. And a shoutout to our server Robert, who gave us superb attentive service on 9/27 for opening night. Thanks!
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/19/2014Go to spot for business lunches in the loop. Good menu, attentive serversSpecial Features:
- Great spot for lunch or dinnerJimSparksVIPDined on 9/18/2014Food was good, service was outstanding, perfect atmosphere.Special Features:
- Great Loop Diningwe4foodVIPDined on 9/16/2014Both the food and the service were terrific! We experienced High quality professional service from start to finish. The restaurant was full of lively business professionals, creating a dynamic atmosphere. Located across from the Lyric Opera House, Lloyd's is also a great choice for opera night. The blackened salmon and crab cakes are excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MargeDined on 9/11/2014We were taking a co-worker out to celebrate a promotion who had never been to Lloyd's. She loved it. We all loved it. Our lunch was so delicious! The waitress we had was friendly and offered recommendations that were spot on. The entire meal was so fresh and inviting. We weren't going to have dessert, and then did. She recommended the chocolate sour cream cheesecake which others had and loved and I had a hot fudge sundae that was out of this world. I was the queen for the day for having made the restaurant choice. The ambiance is particularly nice. Always full at lunch but never crowded, never noisy, always well managed and prompt service. My new favorite all over again and I've been coming to Lloyd's for years!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LeDotDined on 9/10/2014Mac and cheese was great topped with pulled pork! Service was very attentive.Special Features:
- Great Food, Price, and ServiceLadyDDined on 8/12/2014Went for there for a birthday celebration not knowing what to expect. It was a very nice size space to be in the middle of downtown. I really liked the fact that it wasn't overly crowded and we were seated right away. The food and service was beyond phenomenal. And surprisingly, I expected the bill to be much higher than it was...but it was very reasonable. Can't wait until my next visit.Special Features:
- Great Lunch2fromtheburbsDined on 7/24/2014Lloyd's was the perfect place to meet friends and business associates for lunch. Its location is convenient being close to the Loop and to Union Station. The food quality was outstanding and the portion sizes ample and the service also very good and attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinnig before the showKinda0fpracticalDined on 7/9/2014Food was average to good. I had Mac and Cheese dish that was good but I just expected or had a vision of more bacon and peppers in dish per the menu description. My wife's white fish was good as well. Witer was good. The menu was a disappointment. There are so many good eateries downtown that I would take a pass on returning. Lyoyd's was good for a quick dinner before our show.Special Features:
- Before theater spotPoohDined on 7/8/2014Nice location, great food. Enjoyed watching World Cup and found friends stopping by for a couple drinks and food before the show. Will be back again.Special Features:
- Quite pleasedGoodchoiceDined on 7/2/2014We chose Lloyd's for its location and price point. We were between arrival at Oilgive and a later Broadway in Chicago performance. Lloyd's location was great and we didn't want to blow-the-bank on the meal. The bar was packed but we were one of four tables seated during the early 5 - 7 hour in the dining area. The decor is stark, but the food and service were beyond our expectations when we discovered the lack of dining customers at that hour. Our waitress was attentive and very lovely to us. The price/value ratio for the cocktails (on special for the evening) and our dinner was excellent and we were very pleased and enjoyed a leisurely meal with perfect timing for the rest of the evening.Special Features:
- It's okmonica404Dined on 6/25/2014I don't think the ambience or food is anything special here. It's all fine, but I feel like it's stuck back in the day. Not in a hurry to come back really.
- After work with a friendRFHKVIPDined on 6/19/2014I wanted to meet a friend after work that was convent to both of our jobs, and Lloyd's was the place. It's usually quiet after work, a spot where friends can catch up over dinner. We both started our meal with the split pea soup, which we have to say was outstanding, just like grandma. For our main course my friend had the walleye special and I the cedar plank salmon. Both entree's were very delicious. We would recommend either entree.Special Features:
- I love lloydseclecticDined on 6/19/2014Surprisingly inventive and tasty menu. One of my favorite lunch spots.Special Features:

- Great for pretheater at Civic Operahappy2findDined on 5/24/2014This is a real find for those attending Civic Opera. The location, just across the street, is perfect. The food was just delicious and the service was some of the best I've experienced.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/24/2014Excellent prior to performance at Lyric Opera. Wide menu selection, good value, separateSpecial Features:
- Theater convenienceAnnabelleDined on 5/24/2014We stopped at Lloyd's before going to the Lyric opera for a performance. The entire staff was friendly and the food was good and served quickly so that we would be in time for the performance. Parking was tricky to find the lot below the first time, but was worth the discount parking for the night. Would recommend for a quick bite.Special Features:
- Pre Opera only, but good value40Couplew8yroldtwinsVIPDined on 5/24/2014There's not much open on this end of the loop Saturday night for dinner within walking distance to Opera House. Next time I'd go with more lunch type food, sandwich or salad. Crabcakes were disappointing. Found them very bready, minced crab vs lump. Thought it would be a safe bet being a Catch 35 sister restaurant, maybe should've tried the fish. Service got backed up but still fine on time. Comp'd 2 cappucinos. Surprisingly reasonable prices. Entrees came with vegetable and a starch.
- great foodkitchDined on 5/24/2014If your looking for a nice restaurant near the opera house or just looking for a new place to eat downtown try LLoyds .prices are reasonable for the quality of food and a very ample wine and beer list.I noticed there were people with children and they (the staff) were very friendly to them .In all we enjoyed our evening outSpecial Features:
- UnderwhelmedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/23/2014Good location for seeing a show at the Civiv Opera House, but the food overall wasn't very good. For having a 'notable' seafood menu, the seafood cobb salad was full of mediocre fish. Overall pretty disappointed with the experience.
- WaitressFoodDined on 5/23/2014When we first arrived, the service was excellent. As more table filled up, our waitress was nowhere to be found. I asked for more tea and finally had to fill my glass with water. By the time she arrived with my tea, I was over it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Before the LyricPundaddydineDined on 5/23/2014Good food, reasonable prices, attentive service and non-rushed while still guiding us toward finishing with ample time to walk to the shown in the next block. I would definitely dine here before the show next time. Sashimi tuna was great as was my wife's Talapia. Server enjoyed his profession without being too comfy with us.Special Features:
- Lloyd's of ChicagoKoobaDined on 5/16/2014Our party of six was seated within 2 minutes of our reservation time. The attention we received from order taking to food service was excellent. We had tickets to the opera across the street as did many other patrons, so promptness was a must. Discount parking in the garage below was another draw. We've dined there previously and plan to do so again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food right by the theaterJackieDined on 5/16/2014Food was good with reasonable prices. Good location next to theater.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Close to Lyricdeaaurora8Dined on 5/16/2014Great for a pre - show dinner or drinks as well as happy hour after work! American comfort food menu. Sister restaurant is Catch 35. Our server was a little over - the - top but still a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lyric gemOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/15/2014The location to the Lyric Opera House couldn't have been more perfect. We arrived very late due to traffic into the city. We called ahead to tell them we would be late and they held our table for us. When we arrived, our server gave us food recommendations that could be prepared quickly to get us to the theatre on time. The food came quickly, tasted great, and we made it to the show. The prices were remarkably reasonable for a downtown restaurant as well. I would definitely go back again when not so rushed to enjoy the atmosphere and the food to its fullest.I would recommend this to a friend.
- HardtoPleaseDined on 5/15/2014Lloyd's has been doing a great job of serving the West side of downtown for many years. They always deliver good food and service at a reasonable price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner and OperaLyricaldinerDined on 5/10/2014We love to dine at Lloyds before or after a Lyric Opera event. It is so convenient and the food always delicious.Special Features:
- Great Spot Before Lyric OperadowntowndinerDined on 5/10/2014Arrived with only an hour to be seated, dine, and head to the Lyric Opera, and our family still enjoyed a special experience at Lloyd's, with plenty of time to arrive and be seated before the show began. This was our first experience there, and we'd highly recommend it, especially before an evening at the Lyric Opera House. The service was great - efficient yet relaxing, and our server was genuinely friendly yet professional. Each of us tried something different from the menu, and each dish was delicious - braised beef gnocchi, blackened shrimp fettuccine, steak and crab cake, prime rib, and a burger.I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/10/2014Our order came wrong and they had to remake my granddaughters dinner which she then had only 10 minutes to eat before we left for the show. We were absolutely clear on our order!
- Easy acces for operaDavidVIPDined on 5/10/2014We went before the sound if music, it is close to the opera, convenient and it works. Not fancy food is ok to good. Nothing wrong just a more dated place, with decent food. Price is reasonable for loop. Good choice for pre operaI would recommend this to a friend.
- Lyric and dinnerVetgroup5Dined on 5/10/2014Five of us had reservations at 5 for dinner before the Sound of Music at the Lyric. we all had great meals, apetizers were awesome (shrimp) and we enjoyed the key lime pie. Service was excellent, waiter was really great at making the changes to the dishes we ordered. We got seats by the Wacker St windows and had a great view of the Lyric. The noise level was typical of most restaraunts this size but we didnt have any problem having a great time and great conversation. Beer and wine selection was okay. We had a terrific time and scored major kudos with our spouses. And, five of us ate and drank for $200.Special Features:
- Food good, waiter service badChristineDined on 5/9/2014The busboys provided better service than our waiter did. He took our order (for drinks & dinner) approximately 12 minutes after being seated, another person served the food; when I asked if they could send our waiter over for more drinks, that never happened. I don't know if he was purposely ignoring us. I finally had to flag him down so we could get the check. He never checked to see if our food was okay or if we needed anything else. If you want decent food at a reasonable price and poor service, this is the place to go.
- Have a hamburgerIMHungryDined on 5/9/2014I was very disappointed with the entrees. I had the skirt steak. It was thin, over-marinated, and overcooked. It tasted like liver. Nothing special about the sides, bland mash potatoes and spinach. On the positive side, we had a nice, reasonably priced bottle of wine and it was close to opera house where we were seeing a play. The wait staff went out of their to make sure everyone attending the play got out on time. My advice would be to avoid the entrees and stick to the burgers.
- pam54Dined on 5/8/2014We had made a reservation for 5:15 but due to traffic had to change it to 5:45. Staff was very gracious and accommodated our request. We were seated promptly. Food was very good and served in a short amount of time after we ordered. It's a great place to eat before shows at the Lyric as Lloyd's is right across the street. Would eat there again.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Close ByOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/6/2014We needed a place to eat that was close to the Lyric and this hit the spot. We were short on time but they got our food quickly and it was some of the best. My wife had the Mac and cheese with chicken which was excellent. I had the cake and steak which was the best of both I have had in a long time. Service was a little slower than I liked but they got us in and out in a timely fashion so we could make the play.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dinner and a show at the LyricKrisDined on 5/6/2014WE had 7pm tickets at the Lyric, just across the street from Lloyd's so this is how we picked Lloyd's. We had a 5 pm reservation and we were able to have a leisurely dinner and arrive at the Lyric to pick up our tickets at 6:30. Our waiter wasn't terribly attentive............but he was fine as we didn't NEED a lot of attention and we think he was busy and doing his best to get others dinner before heading to the Lyric. Our food was delicious and hot. We would visit Lloyd's again!! We very much enjoyed their varied menu!!!Special Features:
- Food and noiseLK528VIPDined on 5/6/2014Seared tuna was grey. Our waiter was attentive but he said he was an actor and was quite loud. Nice voice but not in a restaurant.
- Great close to opera diningmpx4Dined on 5/3/2014We went here for dinner before going to the Opera house. Lloyd's is conveniently located. We were very pleasantly surprised by the very good food at moderate prices and the good and friendly service. I have gone here for lunch and for drinks after work before but not for dinner. You will not be disappointed.Special Features:

- HelgaDined on 9/27/2014We keep coming to Shun Lee Palace over an dover again! The food is delicious!Special Features:
- RickVIPDined on 9/21/2014Shun Lee Palace is my favorite restaurant in NYC. The Bejing duck, shredded beef and baby eggplant dishes are fabulous.The food is consistent, the wait staff is extremely attentive. I try to go every time I'm in town.Special Features:
- no longer an A studentWarrenbruceVIPDined on 9/21/2014Not a notable dinner. Simple flavors without much interest or depth. Mr Chow or Mr K are betterSpecial Features:
- Classy ChineseFoodLover123Dined on 9/20/2014This is not your typical Chinese Restaurant. Impeccable service, amazingly good fool, and, of course, prices to match. This would not be my weekly spot for Chinese, but for those special occasions? Wow!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Now I know why it's called Palace..CityCountryMouthDined on 9/20/2014....because you area treated like royalty by the entire staff! (The food is also fit for a King or Queen.) What we thought was going to be a routine Saturday night became quite special because we dined here. The level of service and the fine food have me anticipating my next visit already. Their Gluten-Free menu was quite extensive and most appreciated.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great find!birthdaygalDined on 9/15/2014I have been searching for "Cantonese chow mein" that I remember from growing up for a few years now on our trips back to NYC. I found it here! They call it favorites from the 50's! We'll definitely be back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Chinese Food in MidtownJMichelsonDined on 9/14/2014We were looking for a more upscale Chinese Restaurant and we found it. Not only was the food of excellent quality but it was served in a very timely fashion. The portions are large so that you can share making the expense far more reasonable. Of course, I didn't share! A great dining experience.Special Features:
- Enjoyable Meal!ladybugDined on 9/13/2014Myself and a girlfriend were in NYC for a mother-daughter trip with our 10 and 11 year old girls. Given how touristy Times Square is, we expected to pay more for a lackluster meal. The girls wanted Chinese and we came upon Shun Lee Palace. What a wonderful meal! The wait staff was attentive. Service was great and the food was fabulous! We ordered 3 entrees and an appetizer for the 4 of us and ate it all! When I'm back in NY, I'll be back at Shun Lee Palace!Special Features:
- Dinner dateDinnerdateDined on 9/6/2014Beijing duck is out of this world . Service is always impeccable! Fabulous dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wow! Will be back soon!PVBFanDined on 9/3/2014It's rare that one finds a restaurant where nothing...no, not even a single dish...needs to be changes or upgraded. Outstanding Chinese food in a wonderful setting with attentive and expert service. Most notable was the impressively presented Peking Duck and the fresh tasting won ton soup, which included shrimp and greens. I hope you will stay in business forever,Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A good mealAlbertDined on 9/1/2014The meal was good, specially the Peking Duck we ordered and so were the spring rolls. However, the service was not good at all and I would dare say even unfriendly. I would not be back since there are friendlier chinese restaurants in town.
- Great Chinese food!samyedsVIPDined on 8/30/2014My wife and I have eaten at Shun Lee dozens of times and they never disappoint us.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Chinese Food in NYCFASHION624Dined on 8/16/2014Shun Lee palace was fantastic. It is a bit pricey, but worth every penny.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Palace of Chinese food in NYCCarl8food2Dined on 8/16/2014Great food romantic ambiance and impeccable service. I highly recommend this restaurantSpecial Features:
- The Owner has left the barn!WilliamVIPDined on 8/12/2014First, as the captain was taking our order,someone from another table yelled over to him and in the middle of my wife ordering,he walked away from the table with no explanation.(RUDE).Then they forgot my wife's soup dumplings .When we told the captain, he brought them out later with no apology. All this for $18 dumplings!. I ordered the Chan-Do chicken which i was told was white meat. i asked twice. It came out dark meat.The captain insisted it was white until i cut into a piece and showed him. I got a dirty look with no apology. I ordered something else which came out 20 min later.All for $29. The restaurant focuses on their take-out biz which is where the $$$ is. What a shame for such a long time favorite.The place is a good miss now!
- Upscale & solid Chinese restaurantGmoneyVIPDined on 8/12/2014First time there and it exceeded my expectations. Fancy AND delicious. The sea bass with rice wine was my favorite dish.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excelent healthy foodLuigidiverDined on 8/6/2014The Chinese broccoli and the lily in the woods( bokchoi and mushrums) is delicious and healthy, the sea bass is really good and healthy, the crispy shredded Beijing duckling is not so lean but the taste is outstanding. We discovered a sparkeling wine from New Zealand that is amazing, King crowford fizz from Marlborough that goes grate with the sea bass.Special Features:
- Expected moreOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/2/2014I had been here many years ago. I didn't really like the menu. There were a lot of spicy foods but not a lot of classics. The food was good but not great and certainly not worth the price they charged. Everyone's food was acceptable but not outstanding. I had hoped for something very special. We won't be going back again.
- NOLAloveNOLAloveVIPDined on 8/1/2014Great dinner and wonderful service. It was restaurant week so we took advantage of the 38.00 prix fixe menu. Will come back again for upscale Chinese.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant Week (solo)RaymLDined on 8/1/2014I really liked the blue colored wall of the dining area where I was seated. Everything was very high end including the service and dinnerware. The scallops, sea bass fillet, and the tiramisu were very good; however they're not worth the full regular price (I usually would go to Chinatown, New Jersey, or White Plains for cheaper yet comparable food). You definitely pay for the high end Chinese Restaurant experience here in the regular menu prices. I would definitely recommend this restaurant only on Restaurant Week; I personally would not visit again otherwise. The Shun Lee Palace Restaurant Week Menu is very generous, offering many of its regular selections (maybe the portions are smaller, but I wouldn't know).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overpriced, but very good foodHuengpinhCaDined on 8/1/2014Good for restaurant week lunch, though no duck on that menu. Scallop entre was excellent. Might be open to going back for their more famed dishes / dim sumI would recommend this to a friend.
- Past its primediscerningtasteDined on 7/31/2014Food at this restaurant used to be amazing now it is just above average. Prices are also high for the quality and quantity of food. Ten dollars for a bowl of hot and sour soup is excessive. The portions are ok but average about thirty dollars per entree . Service is great atmosphere is pleasant. If you are looking for a elegant dining experience in a chinese restaurant and don't mind overpaying for above average, but not gourmet food, then you will enjoy Shun Lee Palace.Special Features:
- Good EatsbigapplegirlDined on 7/31/2014Have not been to this high-end chineese restaurant in quite a while and I can say, that it is still as good as I remember it. Of course, being restaurant week in NYC is was a bit loud. Being loud did not take away from the good tasting food and the service and of course the decor. I would certainly recommend this restaurant to friends and family and a few strangers, too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun Night with my Work ColleaguesMaggieDined on 7/30/2014We all went out for restaurant week at Shun Lee which accommodated 11 of us at a very comfortable table. The food was very good with high quality ingredients. The service was friendly and efficient.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Chinese food worth eatingLiketoeatVIPDined on 7/18/2014Really good Beijing duck and everything else. Friendly staff, perfect food with service. Dumplings are special.Special Features:
- DownhillNotSkinnyVIPDined on 7/17/2014Shun Lee an institution has gone downhill in every regard. The food most notably was fair at best . The service was aloof and unattentive. There are certainly far better choice.
- Upscale Chinese for WesternersvisitertonycDined on 7/15/2014very good food, great service, elegant surroundings, limited menu, expensiveSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but not greatnouveauyorkerDined on 7/14/2014Maybe our standards have changed, and we had not been there in years, but Shun Lee did not impress us as it has in the past. The food was fine, and if you have an urge for Chinese, it will satisfy, just not blow your socks off.I would recommend this to a friend.
- When You Have to Eat in MidtownbridgeandtunnelDined on 7/12/2014Craving decent Chinese, Shun Lee Palace was recommended to me by the concierge at the Waldorf Astoria. Uniformed "captain" greeted us and led us to our table. Wait staff was efficient, the drinks were stiff. Food was just fine, however the smallest food portions I have ever had at a Chinese restaurant; we ended up ordering another entrée after the main course arrived. They did accommodate a special desert order (lychee over almond jello). Two drinks, tea, one appetizer, two entrees, and one desert were $150 not including tip. Next visit, I'll be taking the Lex down to Chinatown.Special Features:

- Something changeArmaniNYCVIPDined on 6/22/2014We go to Shun Lee Palace for a while and always enjoy the food and the service But something has changed at Shun Lee Palace the first thing we have noticed is They have changed the Menu from the elegant version to a cheap plastic laminated version Second And the way we have been served was different too - no more preparing the plates and serve (that always was great) Now all dishes been placed on the table and each one serve themselves The food didn't feel fresh It felt different - maybe that was that Sunday but overall was disappointing Not the same restaurant we likeI would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Chinese FoodOh4daluvoffoodDined on 6/19/2014I was looking for a good Chinese restaurant at the last minute. Most places couldn't seat me until a very late seating, so I decided to try Shun Lee's in a bind and was pleasantly surprised. Great pork fried rice, awesome broccoli, and a wonderfully flavored seafood medley. While the food was great, the service was even better. The captain and waiter were incredibly pleasant, very informative and extremely attentive. I was very pleased with the choice. By the way, the red bean crepe was awesome.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous Gourmet ChineseScooterDined on 6/14/2014Wonderful food with unique gourmet versions of Chinese as well as excellent versions of standard dishes. Exceptional service and a full bar make this a great place to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions.Special Features:
- A Good Time Was Had By AllSteveRKDined on 6/14/2014Very pleasant ambience set an upbeat mood, attentive service made us feel welcome, and, most important, it was a very good situation for conversation, which for us is the most important thing. The food was very good.Special Features:
- Should be betternycadamVIPDined on 6/11/2014Went to Shun Lee for the first time in a number of years. The food is still very good, but for the price the service should be very good, too. It was not; the service wasn't that much better than in my neighborhood (cheap) Chinese restaurant.Special Features:
- OkayBillDined on 6/11/2014Grumpy waiters. Service was efficient, not friendly which directly affects the dining experience.
- too noisyExperiencedVIPDined on 6/4/2014very noisy -- they did not honor my request for a quiet table. I had called twice to confirm that we would be a different number of quests than originally reserved. They assured me that that was recorded but when we got there they seemed surprised.
- The following 639 reviews are from the Shun Lee Palace reviews archive.
- Very Expensive Chinese DiningJaymanVIPDined on 6/2/2014Although the restaurant is elegant, the food is hyper expensive for small portions of standard Chinese food.
- EncinoJeffDined on 5/29/2014Crazy for Shun Lee Palace! I worked around the corner for a few years beginning in 1972. My co-workers and I ate here every chance we got. More than 40 years later the food and service are still impeccable. The Hunan Lamb and Shrimp in Sechwuan Sauce are old favorites that still contain flavors not found in other restaurants. But I love to keep trying other dishes unique to Shun Lee, like their Sweetbreads. Whether you love Chinese food or want to share a wonderful dining experience with friends or business associates, don't miss a opportunity to eat at Shun Lee Palace.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Kings of Leon have revealed the name and release date for their sixth studio album. Mechanical Bull is set to arrive at all the usual outlets on September 24, reports Billboard .
Bassist Jared Followill had previously stated that the new tracks will sound similar to their earlier work. "I thought we were going to make a really mature album but I'm amazed how youthful it sounds," he told NME . "It's like a mix of [our 2003 debut album] Youth and Young Manhood and [2007's] Because of the Times ."
While their headlining performance at New York's Governors Ball Festival was canceled on Friday due to severe weather conditions, the band took the stage on Saturday and debuted Mechanical Bull 's first single, "Super Soaker," during their rescheduled set. Fan-filmed footage of the performance can be seen on YouTube. Billboard reports that "Super Soaker" will be released sometime around mid-July.

very nice blogReplyDelete
I've tried various low-carb, low-calorie, and low-fat diets for the past couple of years. Although the Atkins diet is very popular, it made me feel somewhat unhealthy.ReplyDelete
The diet plan I'm on right now is the Medifast Diet. The caloric intake is roughly 800-1000 calories. However, it doesn't make my body feel weak. It is a bit of a pricey diet, but there are plenty of coupons available on the internet (i.e. http://www.swoopup.com/stores/deals/Medifast-Diet). You should never pay full price.
My advice is just choose a diet plan which your body reacts positively to. No one knows your body better than you do!

Hurting Harvin to have Heel Surgery
Published April 4th, 2008
Gator receiver Percy Harvin will have heel surgery next week, but coach Urban Meyer expects the speedy playmaker to be fine for fall practice.
School officials say renowned foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson will perform the surgery Monday in North Carolina. The Gators hope the surgery will relieve years of pain in Harvin's right heel, which has bothered him off and on since high school.
It was initially treated as tendinitis at Florida, but the pain persisted and eventually caused soreness in his knee and hip.

The dean of the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine has been arrested and charged with Driving Under the Influence.
Dr. Craig Lenz was taken into custody and charged on December 1 in Bay County, Florida. The incident is alleged to have happened on Mexico Beach.
The CEO of ACOM, Ronald S. Owen, released a statement Tuesday saying, "This situation does not slow down or distract us from the continuation of interviewing faculty and students" for the college's inaugural class. That class is set to begin in August 2013.
"We are steadfast in doing everything that is in the best interest of our academic program at ACOM," Owen said. "The need for physicians is great and we will open a world-class medical college in less than nine months. The ACOM faculty and staff along with Southeast Alabama Medical Center will appropriately support Dr. Lenz while the charges are under investigation."

Join the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's inaugural Downtown Poetry Walk and stop off at Poets House to hear a reading and conversation with poet Fanny Howe and choreographer Ralph Lemon as they discuss dance and poetry—two isolated art forms, one that relies on the body, the other on language—in relation to issues of race, class, and gender.
Join Poets House and the South Street Seaport Museum for a Whitmanesque extravaganza.
Hear his work and that of poets influenced by him. Try your hand at a letterpress printer like the one he used
In his talk, Carl Phillips will explore the ways in which Whitman is among the first to stake out forbidden territory (race, masculinity, morality) for American poetry and to find a form that persuasively enacts the poem's content. He will also consider the ways in which Whitman's poems continue to have a contemporary resonance and to illustrate what it has meant and continues to mean, on so many levels, to be American, for better and for worse.

Representative contemporary authors writing between genres will be read, and students are invited to suggest others.Writing assignments will be given, and students will be encouraged to deviate.

Cibulkova, Bondarenko Reach Round 2 in Florida
Published April 06, 2009 12:00
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL, USA - Both seeds in first round action Monday at The MPS Group Championships advanced in straight sets, including No.3 seed and wildcard entrant Dominika Cibulkova, who disposed of Edina Gallovits, 62 62. The tournament is being played for the first time in Ponte Vedra Beach after moving from Amelia Island.
Cibulkova, a runner-up at this event last year to Maria Sharapova, is seeking her first career Sony Ericsson WTA Tour title. If she wins her next match, the Slovak could face No.6 seed Peng Shuai in the quarters and No.2 seed Caroline Wozniacki in the semis. Also advancing in the bottom half of the draw was Patricia Mayr, who edged Ayumi Morita, 63 26 63
In the top half of the 32-player draw, 14-year-old American wildcard entrant Madison Keys rallied from 5-2 down in the first set of her Tour debut to defeat Alla Kudryavtseva, 75 64. Keys will face No.1 seed Nadia Petrova in the second round if Petrova wins her match Tuesday.
No.7 seed Alona Bondarenko took down Sania Mirza, 64 63, to set up a match-up with her sister, Kateryna, who defeated Barbora Zahlavova Strycova, 76(2) 62. Kateryna has a 3-2 edge in the career series between the sisters, including a win at this event in 2005.
Also Monday, Marion Bartoli, Mariya Koryttseva, Anastasia Rodionova and Anastasija Sevastova all won qualifying matches to reach the main draw. Bartoli wasn't originally entered in this tournament, and was too late for a main draw wildcard, but was happy to accept a wildcard into the qualifying draw.
In addition to Petrova, Wozniacki and Peng, other seeds in action Tuesday are No.4 seed Patty Schnyder, No.5 seed Aleksandra Wozniak and No.8 seed Bethanie Mattek-Sands, who will battle Bartoli.

EVERY WEDNESDAY: High Line Kids: Wild Wednesday
EVERY WEDNESDAY: High Line Kids: Wild Wednesday
Watch a butterfly grow, touch a wriggly worm, or grab a magnifying glass and watch seeds fly at this weekly drop-in nature-based program. Each month focuses on a different natural wonder on the High Line, see below for more details.
June: Plant Parts
Children will be able to use magnifying glasses to get up-close-and-personal with some of the High Line's plants. See the texture of a flower, watch as seeds fly, or examine the intricate veins on leaves. At the end of the month, join us for a Creature Feature with live bees!
July: Butterflies
Throughout the month of July, we'll be raising our own brood of Painted Lady butterflies. During each Wild Wednesday session this month we'll learn about the life cycle of butterflies and check-in on the development of our own. This month will culminate in a celebration and release of our butterflies.
August: Food Chain
Children will get an inside peek at the hidden ecosystem on the High Line. Find the sun trapped inside a plant's leaf, hop like a grasshopper, or become a bird on the hunt for a meal on the High Line. At the end of the month, children can check out a wriggly worm turning old plant material into nutritious soil at our Creature Feature.
14th Street Passage
On the High Line at West 14th Street
This High Line Program is free and open to kids ages four and up accompanied by caregivers. No RSVP required.
The High Line Children's Workyard Kit by Cas Holman will also be available for young builders to create one-of-a-kind vehicles, forts, creatures, structures, and machines from our kit of custom-designed wood planks, nuts, and bolts.
Leading support for High Line Kids is provided by MetLife Foundation and the William Randolph Hearst Foundation, with additional support from the Concordia Foundation.

- Xbox 360 Arcade Console, $199 with $100 Walmart gift card (for use on future purchases). The company will stock at least 10 per store, which makes it sound as if you need to arrive early to get this deal.
- Sony Blu-ray player (model #BDP-S360), $148.
- Magnavox Upconvert DVD player (model #DP170MGXF, 1080p), $29.
Quantities are limited, no rain checks and there is a limit of two per customer on select electronics. While the Wal-Mart news release says these are one-week specials, the Web site says one-day specials, and it's likely some will sell out quickly, so be prepared to shop Saturday if you want the electronics deals.
Does this mean you can skip that mad dash the day after Thanksgiving? Probably not, says Jon Vincent, founder of BlackFriday.info. "It won't replace Black Friday," he says. The deals are good, but pretty comparable to its offerings last year, including a $298 Compaq laptop and a Playstation 2 bundled with a $30 gift card for $129.
Wal-Mart also is offering 12-pound turkeys for less than $5 (that deal started Nov. 4), or 40 cents per pound. Limit two per customer. This deal is good through Thanksgiving.
Wal-Mart's $20 Thanksgiving feast for eight includes:
- One 12-pound Grade A turkey.
- Three 11 to 15.5-ounce cans Green Giant vegetables.
- Two 14-ounce cans Ocean Spray cranberry sauce.
- Three 6-ounce boxes of Stove Top stuffing.
- One 5-pound bag of red potatoes.
- One 12-count package of Sara Lee dinner rolls.
- One 22-ounce pumpkin roll cake.

Three Cups of Tea – Four Cups of Bullshit…
As I sat watching 60 Minutes dismantle the godlike aura that surrounds Three Cups of Tea author and philanthropist Greg Mortenson on Sunday, I felt sick to my stomach. Like many of you, I have read Three cups of Tea several times. I followed the Central Asia Institute, (his non-profit) on Facebook and wondered when the Norwegians were going to get with the program and give him the Nobel Peace Prize. I also teach his book, and have been for the last four years, in Spanish. I have held him up as an example to my students, showing them that a virtuous man can make a difference in the world, and that they can too, as long as they find in themselves just a pinch of the character that makes Mortenson tick. I even encouraged people to donate to CAI and to attend his speaking engagements. Now, it appears, Mortenson is making me look like an asshole.
I think that whether or not Mortenson actually does good work in Asia is irrelevant to this argument. Sure, he builds schools, and he has undoubtedly improved the lives of many thousands of school children, especially girls. He also turns out to be a liar, and in doing so risks alienating the very people (me) who have been singing his praises.
I have felt this way before. Somewhat coincidentally, I was also a big fan of James Frey, author of A Million Little Pieces, the Oprah Winfrey Book Club endorsed memoir about his battle with addiction. It turned out that parts of Frey's descriptions of events were exaggerated for dramatic purpose and when Oprah realized that she had been duped, she made Frey come back on her show where she kicked his ass all over the stage. He left the building with his tail between his legs.
I am willing to give Frey a pass on his exaggerations for two reasons. First, A Million Little Pieces is a great book and a resource for anyone wanting to tackle addiction without all the "give yourself to a higher power" nonsense that apparently happens in most drug treatment programs. In Frey's view, if you really want to stop using, you stop using.
Second, Frey's book is a memoir, just a memoir. While he made a good deal of money exaggerating his story, in the end that's all it was – a story. All memoir writers change things to make them interesting, and frankly I am glad that they do, because it makes their books better. The difference with Mortenson is that his book is more than a memoir, it is a major fund raising tool that is used by the CAI to raise the millions of dollars that they bring in every year.
Unfortunately, according to CBS, very little of that money goes to building schools. Much of it goes to travel expenses related to Mortenson's book tours and speaking engagements. Mortenson himself admits that the CAI takes a portion of its funds and dedicates them to its endowment. That makes good business sense to do so, but when you have school children around the country giving up their time and collecting change in order to build a school for other kids that they have never met before halfway across the world, then you better use that money to build a school. If any of the money school children donated to the CAI went into the general fund for the organization – and therefore went to pay for airfare or payments to the endowment, then Mortenson owes the children of America an apology. In fact, somebody call Oprah before she retires so he can issue the apology to a national audience. I could really go for a good ass whipping right about now.
In about a month, I will be leaving for rural Latin America, where I have been bringing American and Canadian students for four years to participate in a long term service project aimed at developing a relationship between North and South American students based on the shared experience of working and living together as equals. This year we will be constructing a number of greenhouses to help villagers to grow vegetables at over 13,000 feet in elevation.
I don't have a book to use to help us raise funds. In fact, what my students do is actually not that interesting of a story. We have a great ongoing relationship with the village, and students come up with great fund raising ideas, but it is not that flashy - certainly not worthy of a memoir. In four years time, my students have sold chocolate, written letters, and given speeches and in the process raised almost 10,000 dollars for our projects – pennies compared with what the CAI raises. I can say, however, that 100% of that money goes to our projects. Not one single cent is spent on travel expenses or advertising.
I wish that I could buy into the idea that I should give Mortenson some slack because of all of the good that comes out of what he does, but I can't. I just keep thinking about an important part of Three Cups of Tea where he turns down funding from the Pentagon because of what would happen if the people in Pakistan found out that his schools were being funded by U.S. military. He showed a great deal of wisdom and understanding in that moment. He stood on the side of honesty - at least I think he did. Now, I only hope that he will do the same the next time he cashes a check from American schoolchildren.

The end of the year means endless lists of the "Biggest Stars of 2012" or the "Most Important People of 2012." GQ magazine has come up with a novel approach to the year-end list: it has compiled a roster of the "Least Influential People of 2012," and among those included are Madonna and Gotye.
In 2012, Madonna performed at the Super Bowl, scored a #1 album and had one of the year's biggest tours. So why is she one of the "least influential people?" GQ magazine snarks , "That cheerleading outfit isn't making you look any younger, Madge. It's time for you to stop putting out aggressively bland comeback albums and make room for Ke$ha and Katy and the other 800 female artists out there who change outfits every five minutes to distract people from their terrible singing. "
As for Gotye, GQ says , "Finally, this year, an outsider came along who broke the stranglehold of processed pop and became a global sensation. It's just too bad that the artist in question is a Belgian emo guy who can't handle a simple breakup with a hint of grace."
The magazine adds, "Also, the next time you film yourself naked for a video , wash your feet. "
Others who had the dubious honor of making the list: Mitt Romney , Amanda Bynes , Adam Samberg , Billy Crystal , Michelle Obama and Lance Armstrong .

"I don't believe everything the governor wants to see done was expressed in the speech tonight, but it was a good start," she said. "Some of these things are very expensive, but I don't think they're as expensive as the health-care costs coming from air quality or the impact on our economy from loss of businesses or tourists who don't [come here]."
Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker commended the governor for the recommendations and said he hopes the Legislature will support him. He said he would like to see the state repeal a law preventing local governments from having environmental laws that are stricter than federal standards and said that more needs to be done to give local leaders tools to address their particular problems.

"Just giving us at the local level the ability to improve transit service is something that can have an enormous impact and relatively quick impact" on air quality, Becker said. "He talked about having Utah solutions for Utah issues. … We do need Utah solutions and sometimes we need local solutions for local challenges."
Those local solutions are hampered, the mayor said, when the law ties the hands of local governments.
In his budget proposal in December, Herbert requested $18 million in new spending next year focused on improving air quality — much of it in the form of grants to replace old school buses, for business renovations and for air-quality research.
A bipartisan legislative caucus has released a growing list of bills it says would encourage cleaner-burning engines, more public transit and other measures to reduce emissions.
Matt Pacenza, spokesman for the group HEAL Utah, said the governor's proposals move in the right direction, but "can't be the final steps in how the governor approaches our dirty air problem.
"We also need to crack down on industrial air pollution and boost funding for mass transit, making it easier for Utahns to choose to not drive," he said. "Smokestacks, not just tailpipes, should be required to put in place the best available safeguards. All sectors have to pitch in."
Marriage, Obamacare • Herbert couched the state's current fight over same-sex marriage in terms of federalism and state sovereignty, arguing Utah and other states should be allowed to define marriage as they see fit. But he also emphasized the need for civility as the federal appeals court considers a ruling that struck down Utah's constitutional ban on same-sex unions.
"We will do everything in our power to represent the will of the people while respecting the democratic and judicial processes," he said. "Let me be clear that while I support traditional marriage and will continue to defend Amendment 3, there is no place— and I repeat, no place — in our society for hatred and bigotry."
And the governor criticized what he said was a flaw in the Affordable Care Act — known popularly as Obamacare — that would leave 60,000 Utahns living in poverty with less health coverage than those who make more money.
"This is not fair and it is not right," Herbert said. "Assisting the poor in our state is a moral obligation that must be addressed."
Herbert said he looked forward to working with lawmakers to find a Utah solution to fix the "hole in the safety net."
Lockhart, who fired barbs at the governor in her remarks at Monday's opening of the session, called the expansion of Medicaid with federal dollars that will be reduced over time "a trap, an out-in-the-open bait and switch."
"The next time the White House offers more unfunded mandates," she said, "and the governor's office tries to figure out how to pay for it, we as a House and we as a state should politely decline, drop a copy of the Constitution inside a statement 'return to sender.' "
Much of the rest of Herbert's speech hit familiar themes, touting the resiliency of Utah's economy and urging more innovation with scarce education dollars.
Utah's unemployment rate sits at 4.1 percent, down from 5.4 percent a year ago with some 22,500 new jobs created since the governor's address last year.
He touted his proposal to add another $4.5 million to the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math program and another $61.6 million for teacher compensation, and voiced support for school grading.
Utah remains last in the nation in per-pupil spending and continues to have some of the largest class sizes in the country. Herbert proposed an increase of about $100 per pupil in his budget released in December. He also recommended allocating money to school districts in the hope they would use it to expand or create full-day kindergarten programs.Next Page >

COMM 400 Special Topics (Interracial Communication) CRN 38885
TR 8:00 – 9:20, Dr. Mittie Carey
This course can be used as an elective in the African American Studies Program.
The classroom setting for COMM 400 is purposefully designed as a structured safe space that will foster an atmosphere of trust, honesty, and transparency. This type of context is critical to the attainment of the underlying goals of the course, which are (1) to challenge students to more deeply consider their feelings, beliefs, and assumptions about race and race relations and (2) to learn strategies that will help them in their interactions with people of other races. If reactions to the two-term election of President Barack Obama as the first African American president have done nothing else, they have convinced many Blacks that racism is still alive and well in this country. On the other hand, they have convinced many Whites that we have now entered into a post-racial era. Unfortunately, university communities are not immune to these polarizing viewpoints. By participating in activities inside and outside the classroom, working in small and large groups, and completing assigned readings and other assignments, students will emerge from this class better equipped to resolve race-related issues and to assume leadership roles in our multi-racial society.

Man, dog die in Upper Darby hit-and-run
A 69-year-old Upper Darby man and his dog were killed in a hit-and-run Sunday, and police said motorists drove around his lifeless body.
Richard Patterson's dog, Babby, ran away. He found the white Poodle around 4:30 p.m., and then started walking home, according to Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood. While he crossed Providence Road at Arbor Lea Road around 5 p.m. an older model, light-colored sedan flew up Providence and knocked Babby 40 feet.
Chitwood said Patterson was thrown about 50 feet, and his sneakers were knocked off his feet.
According to witnesses who called 911, cars completely avoided Patterson as lay in the street, "If not dying getting ready to die," Chitwood said.
Chitwood said he can "Guarantee" the driver was "high, or drunk."
"Whoever did this, man or woman, is a true scumbag," Chitwood said.
Chitwood said Patterson, a retiree who lived in town for close to 50 years with his wife, was known to walk through town with his dog.
Police are evaluating surveillance video to determine the make and model of the light-colored vehicle.
Chitwood said he always makes a point to meet with the family's of the deceased.
"I told them I promise we'll try everything, but can't promise we'll bring him in," he said.
