Julian Schnabel must have known that screening a film about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the United Nations General Assembly would be scene-stealing. To set the town talking, the event would unite all the trappings — provocative subject matter, prestigious venue, Hollywood glamour.
In fact, the March 14 screening of "Miral" in New York drew a crowd of movie stars, diplomats, artists and intellectuals — Robert De Niro, Sean Penn, Vanessa Redgrave, Ambassadors Jean Kennedy Smith and Qazi Shaukut Fareed, and Dan Rather, among them – raising the profile of an event that openly merged artistic prominence and political power. But when mixed, art and politics — while not exactly strange bedfellows — can stir into a complicated brew. And, sure enough, Schnabel's screening spawned a flurry of protest from some of the most powerful and prominent voices in the Jewish establishment, who accused the film of being "one-sided" and "anti-Israel."
The next day, a Los Angeles Times headline declared: "Screening of 'Miral' at the United Nations draws protests from Jewish groups."
The wave of controversy that ensued called into question whether a high-profile film written by a Palestinian and sympathetic to "the other side" was simply too much for some Jews to handle. That the filmmaker, Julian Schnabel, is Jewish and presenting a perspective counter to the dominant Jewish paradigm was considered a tribal and national betrayal. That the film's distributor, Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein is a New York Jew, and a vocal supporter of Israel, was even more unsettling. Haven't the Jews and their State of Israel had it hard enough?
First to object was David Harris, executive director of the American Jewish Committee, who, the night before the screening, sent out an open letter to United Nations General Assembly President Joseph Deiss. "The film has a clear political message which portrays Israel in a highly negative light," Harris wrote. "Permit me to ask why the President of the General Assembly would wish to associate himself — and the prestige of his office — with such a blatantly one-sided event."
Next, Simon Wiesenthal Center founder Rabbi Marvin Hier sounded off: "Last night, when the General Assembly Hall was used for the first time to screen a pro-Palestinian film, marked another sad day in the 63-year-old history of the U.N.'s bias against the State of Israel," he said in a widely released statement. "It's bad enough that the 55 Moslem countries in the General Assembly have a virtual lock on the political resolutions there. Now the U.N. wants to extend that anti-Israel bias to the cultural and arts world as well."
That the screening became cause for Jewish opprobrium seems to reflect deeper issues. Was this a protest of the film itself? Neither Harris nor Hier had yet seen it. Was it, rather, a legitimate complaint about bias against Israel at the world's preeminent political assembly? Or was it, perhaps, a knee-jerk reaction from the old Jewish guard to anything sympathetic to the Palestinian perspective? Whatever the answers, the conversation surrounding "Miral" is raising serious and important questions about the Jewish response to Palestinian narratives — and, perhaps ironically, perhaps not — that's exactly what the filmmakers want.
Rabbi Irwin Kula, one member of the post-screening panel discussion at the U.N., suggested that "Miral" offers an important opportunity to approach the conflict with new eyes.
"Everybody should go see it," Kula, president of Clal, The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership, said in a phone interview a few days later, from his New York office. "If you're a Jew and anything about Israel and Palestinians touches you in any way, you should see this film."
For Kula and the filmmakers, the hope is that the film will provide rare insight into the Palestinian point of view and inspire dialogue.
"After 63 years of conventional diplomacy, we are now further from a two-state solution than ever before," Kula said. "We need new forms of peacemaking. Let's recover personal, intimate human stories, which have been completely clouded out by the political and power narratives."
Films like "Miral," he said, offer alternatives to Jewish understanding of the conflict, humanizing individuals on the other side and offering openings for empathy. "Either we live in a moment of pikuach nefesh ["saving a life"], which makes marginalizing and vilifying those with whom one disagrees permissible, or [the reactions are a] projection of repressed, disassociated, split-off guilt about what is happening in Israel that is simply too painful to bear."
If the early ire of mainstream Jewish groups is any indication, American Jews may not be ready to empathize with Palestinians. For older generations, the historic and seemingly endless suffering of Jews has given rise to the indelible notion that the world is against us. "We all construct narratives to help us get through life, so for a post-Holocaust generation to construct a narrative in which everyone is seen as a Nazi out to destroy us is not crazy," Kula said. "What trauma does is close down the capacity to trust the other, and we have a traumatized group of senior leadership in American Jewish life."
For some, that trauma is especially real at a place like the U.N., where an Arab bloc of 55 Muslim countries is outspokenly anti-Israel. The U.N. Human Rights Council, for example, has passed numerous resolutions condemning Israel, while countries with far worse human-rights track records, such as Sudan, get by relatively unscathed. So while the filmmakers saw the U.N. as a powerful forum for dialogue, Harris and Hier saw the potential for an echo chamber of diatribes. And while making movies is an art, and not meant to be objective or balanced, using the U.N. backdrop implies a certain seal of approval for a narrative that is discomfiting for many Jews.
"The moment I hear the words 'U.N. General Assembly Hall' — it stinks, because it's never been open for Jews," Hier said during a phone interview. "Where's the film telling Israel's story? Did they ever show 'Exodus' there?"

Lack of firepower hinders Tottenham's potential at Everton
LIVERPOOL -- As a sterile second half neared its delayed end, fourth official Bobby Madley headed for the Goodison Park touchline, typed a figure into an electronic board and held it above his head. Nine referred to the number of minutes of additional, uneventful time, but it is a number with a particular significance for Tottenham Hotspur. Their shortcomings were being advertised in bright lights.
After a quarter of the season, they have scored nine league goals. It is one fewer than Fulham have mustered in their autumn of discontent. Manchester City have more than three times as many as Andre Villas-Boas' side and while they have made those nine goals go a long way, into the dizzy heights of fourth and above Manuel Pellegrini's insatiable attackers, it should represent a cause for concern.
Not that it does to Villas-Boas. "I can't be that worried," he said, citing a goal tally inflated by some Europa League games against mediocre opposition. "We are on 28 goals this season in 16 official games [actually 30 in 17]. I can carry on about all the good statistics and you can carry on about all the negative statistics but it is a debate that goes nowhere. We all want to bring excitement but this team is doing extremely well. The results put us in the fourth place."
A win on Merseyside would have put them in second. Yet while Tottenham were superior in the first half, Everton kept them at bay. It said something about their resilience, with Phil Jagielka making a thunderous late block to thwart Gylfi Sigurdsson, and the difficulty of conquering fortress Goodison, the place where no visiting team has taken three points in 2013. Yet it indicated rather more about Spurs' struggles.
Most of their Gareth Bale bonanza has been spent on strikers, wingers and midfielders, some 100 million of their 110 million-pound overhaul going on players designed to create or score goals. Instead, their outstanding defensive record accounts for their lofty position. Some of the newcomers are benched, others waiting for a breakthrough moment.
Roberto Soldado has established himself as White Hart Lane's resident penalty king but has a solitary league goal in open play. There was a header glanced well wide and a 20-yard shot that went nearer the upper tier of the Gwladys Street End than Tim Howard's net but the early impression is that City recruited the deadlier Spaniard when buying Alvaro Negredo.
With Villas-Boas among the many believers in one-striker systems, Jermain Defoe, deadly in the lesser competitions, was left an unused replacement. It exacerbates the importance of midfielders chipping in with goals.
Only the substitute Sigurdsson, who drew the best save from Howard, looked likely to do that. Andros Townsend was shot-happy at the start but his radar was awry. While he faded, having effected a swift transformation from fourth- to first-choice winger, the Englishman is showing up costlier creators.
This was a day to suggest Tottenham required Willian rather more than Chelsea, who snatched the Brazilian from their London rivals' clutches. Instead, Spurs signed the lesser-spotted Erik Lamela, who was overlooked both when Villas-Boas selected his side and when he brought on Sigurdsson for Aaron Lennon. It is now November, the Argentine has played only 68 minutes of league football and Tottenham have had a negligible return on a club-record investment.
Meanwhile, Christian Eriksen was only permitted a cameo, despite a desperate need for the Dane's invention. Lewis Holtby, neat and tidy without being remotely incisive, was preferred. Tottenham required someone to unlock the door, not mow the lawn. Their most impressive midfielder, as he often is, was Paulinho, who brought the physicality to force Everton back in the first half.
The question, however, is whether Villas-Boas' emphasis on power has come at the exclusion of finesse. The Portuguese argued a ferocious work rate could have delivered victory. "We pressed well with great motivation and great aggressiveness [in the first half]," he said. "Normally in situations like this you end up going 1-0 ahead."
The alternative view is that a little more ingenuity is required from an expensively assembled outfit. Their substitutes alone cost 78 million pounds and Everton manager Roberto Martinez had declared they have the most complete squad in the league.
Yet the statistics show Tottenham level on goals with an Aston Villa side in the midst of a drought and only one ahead of a West Ham team who are playing without a striker. They have been prolific against Dinamo Tbilisi and Tromso, but not against Crystal Palace and Hull, let alone Arsenal and Everton. Therein lies Villas-Boas' problem, even if he won't accept it himself.
MAN OF THE MATCH: Jan Vertonghen -- That Tottenham kept yet another clean sheet could be a sign of the Belgian defender's excellence at the day job. Instead, as an attack-minded left-back, he looked as dangerous as any of the midfielders or forwards on show, especially in the first half.
EVERTON VERDICT: Forced back in the first half, they perked up after the break and could have had a penalty when Vertonghen caught Seamus Coleman. The introduction of Ross Barkley and Gerard Deulofeu, who almost scored a winner, were further signs Martinez can improve his team with substitutions. Yet their trademark passing game deserted them before the break and the manager was relieved they preserved parity then.
TOTTENHAM VERDICT: Few teams keep Everton penned into their own half at Goodison Park quite like Spurs did in the first half. Nevertheless, they need to convert pressure and possession into first chances and then goals to convince that they are in the title race, or even to retain their top-four status.

Oceania Exclusive tours are available for a specially selected number of tours in almost every port we visit, in every corner of the world.
Chan-Chan is one of the most spectacular cities, and the largest construction of mud in the New World. It was once the capital of the Chimu Civilization, predecessors of the ancient Incas. Upon arrival in Chan-Chan, your walking tour will commence.
Chan Chan is virtually a city of palaces, and must be seen to be believed. The city walls enclose eight square miles of buildings, including small wattle and daub huts, medium-sized adobe brick houses, and the huge fortresses, or palaces, of the era's nobility. These palaces typically contained many rooms and patios, and were surrounded by their own walls. Your guide will explain the significance of the intricate relief's and patterns carved into these walls. Each palace also contained ceremonial courtyards, some decorated with a repeating design of birds or animals. The smallest courtyards were thought to be the most important and only accessible to the inner circle. Ironically, these courtyards lacked ornamentation or decoration, which has baffled archeologists for ages. It is now thought that these courtyards were once festooned with amazing weavings and fabrics, which the Chimu people held more valuable than gold and silver. Often a palace was abandoned once its noble owner died, and a new one constructed next door. As a result, these amazing buildings range in age from 900 and 1470 A.D.
Please note: Comfortable shoes are a must, as there are ramps and stairs to negotiate at the site. Sunscreen and a hat are essential. These areas are going through a continuous process of excavation.

Great Tanning Salon! – I recently moved to the area and was in search of a new tanning salon. I noticed California Tan was right next to my gym and conveniently located in a shopping market on Midway, which is perfect for us multi-taskers! I've been going to tanning salons for years and am very critical of cleanliness when it comes to tanning facilities and this one is impecable. That alone can be the determining factor for me but it also has state-of-the-art beds, a variety of designer tanning lotions, great prices and an incredibly helpful and friendly staff... what more could you ask for?!!
Really Great Tanning Salon – I haven't been to a tanning salon in years and I was very pleased with my experience at California Tan. I was shown around the salon by a very knowledgeable and friendly staff member. She showed me all the different beds and explained the benefits and differences to each type of bed so that I could make the best choice for me. She answered all my questions and I felt very comfortable choosing the Magna bed. The salon was very clean and that's important. I took advantage of a special package for new customers and am very pleased with my tan. I am looking forward to trying the Mystic Tan booth and maybe the spray tanning option. I will recommend this salon to my friends and anyone looking for a great tan.
A+ Tan and Service – Awesome customer service!! I called to inquire about rates and bed types. Ashley was incredibly helpful and accomodating! I used to tan at Hollywood Tans...but after tanning here I will never go back. I tanned in the Level 2 bed about a week ago for the first time. I did not burn at all and I still have great color!!! I'm looking forward to trying out their other beds!
Great Tanning Experience and Convenient Location – I had no idea there was such a great tanning salon right next door to my gym! I just moved to the area and started working out at 24 Hour fitness and decided to stop into California Tan which is right next door! I got an appointment right away and was shown to my tanning room. The girls working there were totally cool and friendly, not pretentious as is common in many salons. They had a great stereo system in the room, which made my session fly by and I am so pleased with the color I got! It was perfect, I got my work out in AND a tan! Definitely coming back and I recomend California Tan, ESPECIALLY if you work out right next door.
Editorial Review – California Tan is a modern salon offering a variety of tanning options including Super Magna beds, stand-ups, and Mystic tan in the San Diego area.

Storage a problem?
Not really for those who will root/flash the nexus. Which will be a lot I assume, Android users tend to be more switched on compared to other certain "i" crowds that just want things in easy mode.
Why not use a USB OTG cable and plug in a flash drive, Even easier than opening up the case to put a micro sd card in there(which it doesn't have) and you then get infinite storage options with cheap usb flash drives, Could have one for music one for games etc etc
I know it can be done with a nexus 7 so there is no reason why it won't work on nexus 10.
There are ways around the storage issue but you are right cloud storage is not for everyone(personally I hate it), Especially if it is only going to be a wifi device.

im in agreement with alot of the comments, Batman Returns is a great batman film, one of the very best. perfectly casted, gotham city looks awsome with the snow, the gothic look, devito was crazy as the penguin! totally demented! the movie is a bit depressive near the end but its a batman movie! it dealt with so many of the problems of duality and darkness that you see in the comic books but without copying the comics word for word. unlike nolan, who's banal films are made strictly for the comics nerd crowd, tim burton actually did his own thing and was original with the material and not trying to please some comic book fanboys, but still kept true to the characters as seen in the comics, just slightly altered to fit a serious live action movie. seriously, the burgess meredith penguin would not work in a big budget serious batman movie. i love how tim burtons character designs have actually influenced the comic books, instead of the other way around. his take on the characters was memorable, mythic and sheer genious, unlike the dull, "realisitic" nolan versions (seriously, nolans scarecrow and catgirl are an absolute bore). i dont hate joel schumachers batman like other people do. batman forever is an awsome movie, just about on par with Returns for me. i loved all the original films. i even have a soft spot for B&R as ai remember going to the theater to see it. it may suck but at least it was FUN. the new movies are just overrated and i fail to see whats so special about them. the new ones have gotten so far away from what batman used to be. being serious is one thing, but taking all the fun elements that made the first 3 batman's so successful to the point that the movies become lifeless and bland no different then any courtroom drama on TV is another. Batman Returns might have got a bad rap back in the day because of its darkness (and yes, it is pretty damn dark, even by todays standards) but looking back in history, today its definetly looked at in a better light. plus, its the movie that spawned the also pretty awsome Animated Series that i grew up watching everyday afterschool.
Agent69 | June 21, 2012 9:31 AM
Anyone who grew up in the 90's loved these films.
I was obsessed by Nicholson's Joker and Pfeiffer's Catwoman. And sine others have mentioned him in the comments, let me say that Nolan doesn't come close to capturing my imagination like Burton did. Too bad Burton seems to have lost his touch as well.
[A] | June 21, 2012 12:37 AM
I was gonna say "hey this is more like 5 things you didn't know if.." but no, the words "might not know" are actually in the title. See, that's the way other sites link to you, guys.
ChrisGa | June 20, 2012 10:00 PM
I have some appreciation for all the Batman flicks, but Batman Returns in my mind remains the best of the first franchise and either of Nolan's pics(both highly overrated in my book). The real shame was no follow through on the proposed Catwoman spin-off; Michelle Pfeiffer gives possibly the greatest performance(well maybe next to Christopher Reeve) housed in any film based on a comics property.
The Bandsaw Vigilante | June 20, 2012 6:36 PM
@ Tim Burthog:
Actually, the Schumacher films *don't* work precisely because of these exact same reasons you list. One can view the Burton films as arch, demented comedies, and they have moments that are actually really quite funny; coming from an honest, twisted place (even the so-called "campy" moments). The Schumacher films just turn everything into a vaudeville gag, hoping to gain extra-credit points just by winking and being barndoor-broad.
The Bandsaw Vigilante | June 20, 2012 6:32 PM
One of my great regrets to this very day is that Tim Burton and Michael Keaton never reteamed to produce one more (perhaps final) Batman film -- a proper trilogy, perhaps covering Two-Face's turn (through Burton's lens) and certain other elements that we'll never get to see, now.
And although Keaton wasn't fond of the suit, he reportedly turned down something close to $30 million to reprise his role in "Batman Forever" (probably for the best), but one can only imagine what a third picture would've looked like, and where it would've gone. To say nothing of that potential Burton-directed Catwoman movie.
For myself, the Joel Schumacher movies do not take place in the same universe as the Tim Burton ones -- once Bruce and Alfred drive off in that limo in the winter snow, holding the cat, the universes diverge, and the Burton-verse Batman has entirely-different future adventures than the Schumacher-verse ones.
About the only consolation I can take from the Schumacher disasters is that, without them and Joel going so far off the reservation into gay, camp fantasia, we never would've gotten the Christopher Nolan films as a repsonse -- the franchise had gotten *SO* incredibly derailed that the studio needed to regain some measure of grounded credibility by bringing in the director of Insomnia and Memento for a gritty, realistic reboot.
And I for one couldn't be more thrilled about that end result.
zebsdead | June 20, 2012 4:21 PM
All this information including the quotes was lifted from the Batman Returns two disc DVD in the making of feature, in almost the exact order too.
jeanrobie | June 20, 2012 12:23 PM
Here's another thing you might not know or remember about this movie: it was accused of borrowing imagery from Nazi depictions of Jews for the Penguin. The producers disputed it at the time, but I don't think Tim Burton really cares who he cops imagery from and if you watch it with this in mind, it's hard to miss--especially the similarities between Moses and the Penguin.
Tim Burthog | June 19, 2012 6:46 PM
Strange how this always gets lauded as being poles apart from Schumacher's efforts when the scenes between Penguin and Catwoman, where they're sitting around making bad puns to one another, are just as campy as anything in the later films.
triguous | June 19, 2012 2:19 PM
I almost forgot how much I hate the deep-voiced trailer narration. So glad it's a thing of the past. Scenes from the film speak for themselves, thank you.
vdoun | June 19, 2012 1:57 PM
I find it ironic that Chris O'Donnell didnt like Batman Returns. It was dark, funny, riveting, and very imaginative. Unlike the crap that followed it, oh wait, O'Donnell stared in Batman Forever, hmmm envy much?
Christopher Bell | June 19, 2012 1:55 PM
Dope piece, Drew. I think it's time I gave the Burton ones another go through.
Hurrah | June 19, 2012 1:07 PM
I adore 'Batman Returns'! Of the original 4 part series it's the only that comes off as a truly great film. I think Nolan's two- now three- efforts are stronger films but 'Returns' is such a nuts, wild crazy flick it still might be my favorite thing Batman.
P.S. Nice to see when it came to casting Burton wasn't color bind. I'm all for a black Robin. Not to mention they did cast Lando as Harvey Dent.
Keith L | June 19, 2012 12:15 PM
I must have watched it over 50 times... I used to watch Batman Returns every other day (rotating with the first Batman) after school when i was 10 or so. Still love the movie!
cory everett | June 19, 2012 11:05 AM
One thing to note: I love this movie.
jimmiescoffee | June 19, 2012 11:04 AM
Michelle Pfeiffer is so hot in this flick. Truly iconic performance.

Neighborhoods: Tribeca, Downtown
David Bouley hasn't been in the news much lately but he's a titan of New York dining, and has continued, through lo these many years to present some of the most elegant and precise food in the country at his flagship restaurant. He has a special affinity with seafood and vegetables, so it's a great place to take light eaters, but the meats are great too in their own way.
Superb! – I have enjoyed dining at all the past Bouleys and this current Bouley is a gem of a restaurant from the delightful touch of Fuji apples displayed on shelves, their sweet fragrance pervading the air of the foyer, to the exquisite French décor of the lounge and beyond. Whether seated in the main dining room or equally charming back room, one can not help but feel relaxed and at ease in such gracious surroundings. The cuisine is French/ American and the menu is fairly extensive, offering and array of dishes and wine to satisfy the most sophisticated of palates. I opted for the five-course tasting menu and chose the porcini flan, which I thought was unique and delicious in addition to the venison which was cooked to perfection. For dessert I chose the chocolate frivolous - very YUMMY! Each dish was understated yet imaginative and sublime. The meal ended with petit fours and a complimentary plate of fruit. Everything was flawless, including the friendly, easygoing and professional staff and I appreciated not being rushed but just given the chance to savor everything. All in all, this latest Bouley is an outstanding restaurant.
Don't bother – Having been before, we booked a month in advance for Christmas Day. We arrived to chaos. No greeting, nowhere to sit or stand, and no table. We were eventually informed (when we tracked down a person) that the wait would be 1/2 an hour. But people in the full waiting area had been WAITING FOR OVER AN HOUR. We also heard the restaurant service was very slow, about 4 hours for the whole meal. People were very annoyed. We went around the corner instead to the old NY standby, where we had lovely, attentive service.
Who would want to spend their significant money for very poor service?
A new york experience – Bouley is a fine dining experience. You go there for special occassions - birthdays and anniversaries. It's expensive and beautiful but really not stuffy or snobby. Once you are in there (men, jackets are required) and everyone is all dressed up, it's just so civilized.
So the atmosphere works, but just as importantly - the food is delcious. Filling but not too heavy, interesting and flavourful but not gimicky or odd. We just loved it. And we were doing okay till the desserts, where we definitely went overboard. The desserts are too delicious and worth a seperate visit.
The wine expert was charming and we had a great night.
I would definitely go again. Here you get what you pay for.
The place has the most amazing decor – When you walk into this place there is fuji apples on the walls, and the aroma bursts into your face as you open the door, I have never seen something like that before, the Chef is from France or Europe, area, and he though of the idea to entice the appetite, but fuji apples help with head aches, like a pain relief Advil with out the meds. The place is lightly lite, with candles, and gorgeous artwork, I think this would be a great date spot. The Decor is mid evil times like, and the bathrooms remind me of some kind of fantasy. and the manager or owner is nice.
Over-Rated – While dining at Bouley, the Food was at par at best. When you're paying 255 for a Chef's Tasting Menu and a Wine Paring, you'd expect more. The attitude of the servers is unbelievable. I pay to eat and pay your tips, treat me well is my thinking. Troy, the Maitre'D was a complete mess...Fine dining at its worst in NYC.
No longer my favorite--but still very good – My Husband and I use to go to Bouley regularly recently, however, the food has not been as wonderful. In addition, the room is feeling old. They also seem to have a fly problem bc everything we have gone recently there are flys buzzing around our food--maybe it the flowers but they need to remedy this problem. The breads are still amazing as are the desserts and the service is also very good, but a little stuffy. Good food but not great; more authentic french than Daniel - for example-but over all Daniel is better
Love the apples – Wow!! What a treat. We had the 6 course tasting menu to celebrate our 1st Anniversary. Only one flaw, the egg and pancetta dish. It was the most amazing egg with bacon in a cream foam with white truffle (i think). But it wasn't breakfast time. Also ther was a loud woman sitting next to us, We heard her whole conversation. The best was when her date said he didn't want to be in a relationship with her. I laughed loud enough so she could hear me. The service was impecable. I was pampered so much it was a pleasure paying the check. Excellent restaurant expierience.
Best Duck I have ever had! – Alone in NYC just before Christmas I decide to treat myself to what I expected would be an excellent meal at Bouley and every aspect of the meal exceeded my expectations. It was really outstanding! A truly incredible gourmet experience! The fragrance of apples one smells when walking in the door at Bouley and viewing them on the wooden shelves was especially innovative as was the rest of the restaurant's decor. I was courteously seated and although by myself was given ample attention. I had come late and expected to eat light so I ordered a few appetizers with the Long Island Duck. Not knowing exactly how the appetizers would taste, I decided to give the sommelier a chance to suggest something special for the wine pairings and this was a great decision as he and the waiter both came up with several fantastic combinations, which I would not normally have tried. The crab leg appetizer with black truffel was served in a neat copper dish and was a unique combination of crab legs in a far eastern flavored stock. The flavors were really "out-of-this-world", a delicious choice by itself, but coupled with the wine which was something on par with a sautern ( which I am kicking myself for not writing down), it was exquisite! The other appetizer I ordered was a pheasant egg which was surrounded with a foam and also had thin slivers of white and black truffels with a blue cheese polenta. It has been a few weeks so I can't remember all the other flavors that were in this dish but it was a real knockout. Then came the Long Island Duck breast absolutely roasted to perfection with remarkable flavors as well but the size was big enough to take half home and it was so, so tender. The Pommard the waiters recommended to go with the duck was again a perfect combination. The entire evening was quite memorable and certainly one of the best meals I have ever had. At $125 not including the tip the prices were very reasonable considering the quality,
Save your money, what a bunch of jerks... – Deeply disappointing overall experience. Food was just OK. There was a 50 minute wait beyond our reservation time with NO apology and NO explanation. At this caliber of restaurant, that is absurd. Also, I emailed the restaurant to complain about this poor management and when I received no reply, the message wes resent. The lack of any response shows you what these jerks think about their customers. Arrogant snobs who won't survive.
don't waste your money – I had to return my steak 3 times before it was cooked the way I'd asked for it to be done. Also, my table was comprised of 5 women and the service we receieved was condescending.

Mrs. Meridith Jaeger, visited Ms. Peterson's "WMS Wonderfullife" Focus class Wednesday to share her experience traveling to Tanzania with a group of UW-O students to do some volunteer work. She brought us ginger tea, mango, banana corn muffins, and ugali, a cornmeal porridge to taste. Her talk was fascinating, and we thank her for taking her time to come share her experience with us!
Welcome to Winneconne Middle school, where we are "learning today and leading tomorrow." I am Todd Schroeder and it is an honor and privilege to serve the kids, staff and community as the principal at Winneconne Middle school. I have been in education for over 25 years. I taught middle school math for 17 years before becoming the high school assistant principal and athletic director for 6 years. I am excited to be a part of WMS family and I look forward to making memories together as we help build our student's future.
The middle school years are an exciting transitional period between elementary and high school experiences. Middle schools are grounded on the concept of recognizing and addressing the diverse characteristics and needs of our young people. Middle school years provide opportunities to explore many different interests while expanding skills and discovering personal strengths.
It is my belief that we have a special group of teachers and support staff working here at Winneconne Middle School. The math and language arts teachers have spent countless hours to be common-core ready and to make sure your child will be. Science, social studies and all of the encore classes have standards and learning goals that we hold ourselves accountable for. We strive to make sure our students master need skills. During common planning, the teachers continue to look at their curriculum in order to hold themselves and all of their students accountable to rigorous standards. They are committed to working together as teams to ask questions that focus on quality learning opportunities and accountability, aiming for results that reflect continuous improvement. The middle school is focused on improving our students writing as our building level student learning goal for 2013/2014. Every student completed a persuasive writing prompt and has had it scored twice against a rubric by teachers to ensure reliability. This data will be used by our teachers to create student learning objectives. We will recreate this process in the spring determine if we have met our student learning goals. I believe we will!
Our students work hard and are very busy. We have an 8 period day that includes Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Reading for all students. WMS students have PE every other day and a choice of several high interest encore courses. We are a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) school. This means that we encourage all students to have their own technology devise. Students have access to a large number of online curriculum pieces that they can use both inside and outside of school.
It is the expectation of the Winneconne Middle School community that students and staff act responsibly and treat each other with fairness, respect, honesty, and kindness. With the ongoing support and involvement of our parents and communities, we embrace the many opportunities to learn, teach, and appreciate the unique gifts that we can offer to one another.
We encourage questions or concerns that arise throughout the school year, please feel free to contact your child's teacher, our office staff or me personally. I can be contacted at 582-5800 ext 2124 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com
I hope that each student will have an enjoyable, rewarding, and positive experience at Winneconne Middle School.

15. Kentucky student-reporter description of covering last night's game in enemy territory: "Not only was I fearful for my life, I also needed windshield wipers. With every big Gator play, student section cheers brought saliva flying over me."

Greens Grow Smaller
Head lettuces are being grown in miniature sizes or harvested at an immature stage.
Head lettuces like romaine and iceberg as well as many leafy greens, from ordinary spinach to exotic popcorn plants, are being grown in miniature sizes or harvested at an immature stage. Small is big news on restaurant menus, with chefs embracing these diminutive salad ingredients to ratchet up presentation and flavor.
Microgreens are a broad term for salad greens that are picked when they are only 14 to 20 days old. There are about 80 different varieties, ranging in flavor from buttery and mild to spicy and peppery. Melissa's Head lettuces are being grown in miniature sizes or harvested at an immature stage.ypically supplies about 20 types of microgreens, with the white tablecloth restaurants their biggest customers. In greatest demand are arugula, bull's blood, mizuna, popcorn, pea leaves and shoots, tatsoi, watercress, mustard greens, red beet, golden chard and rainbow (a mix of several). Fresh herbs such as basil, chives and cilantro can be picked in tiny form, too, and are often included in microgreen blends.
Whole-leaf baby greens are a premium product with little waste. These are picked at around 35 days old, not cut, so the whole leaf remains intact. Available in both organic and conventional styles, there are about a dozen different baby greens on the market, including spinach, arugula and assorted lettuces.
Iceberg Babies resemble their bigger namesakes in appearance and texture, but they're slightly sweeter in flavor and closer in size to a softball. They're the ideal size for an individual serving and make a dramatic statement when hollowed out and filled with salad ingredients, dips and hot mixtures.
Radicchio, a small redhead with a slightly bitter edge, was all the rage a few years back. While the round grapefruit-sized radicchio is still going strong, a couple of new varieties are expanding the niche. All are members of the chicory family (which also includes endive).
One of those, treviso, grows in an elongated head like endive. It's dark red in color with white ribs and is milder than the original. It's used both raw and grilled in salads.
The rarer tardivo is cultivated from the treviso variety. Like its creamy-colored Belgian endive cousin, it's forced to form new leaves in the absence of light, creating a paler end product. Castelfranco is another pale member of the radicchio family, it has yellowish-cream leaves speckled with red. The lettuce-like ball unfolds like a rose and is delicate in flavor and texture.

And this season...
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Ducks fourth-line center Nick Bonino had a hat trick and Long Beach native Emerson Etem recorded his first two NHL points as the Ducks (5-1-1) chased playoff MVP Jonathan Quick from the Kings' net after he gave up two goals on three shots five minutes and 49 seconds into the game.
The Kings came back but were always playing catch-up, and unsuccessfully.
"Resiliency, that's been one of our mottos," Bonino said. "If they strike, we strike back... I haven't scored a ton of goals in my career so far. It feels really good to get three here."
The Kings (2-3-2) were terrible on the penalty kill, yielding three goals in four disadvantages as they started a five-game trip with a resounding thud. The absences of defensemen Willie Mitchell (knee) and Matt Greene (back surgery) loom larger every day.
"We were not hard in the areas that we're known to be hard to play against, in front of home plate," Dustin Brown said, referring to the slot area.
"Our PK correlates really well to how we're playing five-on-five and we gave up three power-play goals tonight. They got skill and their power play is clicking along pretty good but our PK is the staple of our game and to give up three out of four, it's one of those indications that we're not being as hard as we need to be in hard areas."
Or, as Justin Williams said: "We've let ourselves down and shot ourselves in the foot by poor defensive play."
Sutter replaced Quick with Jonathan Bernier, a ploy that seemed to work when the Kings pulled even at 2-2 on goals by Brown and Jarret Stoll. But this wild game tilted in the Ducks' favor in the third period, when Bonino completed his hat trick with a power-play goal at 8:39 off a nifty pass from Bobby Ryan. Teemu Selanne finished things off with an empty-net goal, his 666th career goal and 12th-most all-time.
"I'm not a guy who changes goalies. In 20-some years probably done it five times. I don't enjoy doing that," Sutter said.
Then why did he do it?
"Because we were 2-0 five minutes into the game," Sutter said. "I'm not faulting our goaltenders. Everybody's got to play better than that."
That's an understatment.
The Ducks' goaltending and defense had some holes Saturday, too, but they never trailed and managed to respond each time the Kings pulled even. The 11 goals matched the highest-scoring game between the teams in their 109-game series, and the Ducks' seven goals equaled their most against the Kings in their history.
Ducks Coach Bruce Boudreau's main concern was the head injury suffered by defenseman Cam Fowler early in the second period on a hit from behind by Kings center Jarret Stoll. Fowler didn't return. Boudreau said NHL executives "have to look at that," though that's not guaranteed. Any hit is subject to review for the purpose of supplementary discpline.
"He obviously is not feeling very well right now," Boudreau said.
Bonino scored while sliding on his knees at 2:30 and struck again at 5:49. He beat Kings defenseman Drew Doughty to the puck and beat a befuddled Quick with a wrapround.

Debian Seeks Hardware Sponsors
An email appeal by Joey Schulze is calling for hardware donations to support two new Debian projects: snapshot and data archive.
To start the projects, 10 TB disk space, with easy extension abilities will be required, writes Schulze. Sponsors will be featured prominently on Debian's web server and service web pages.
Snapshot will function like Archive.org (the so-called "wayback machine" attempts to archive the Internet.) Based on dates and version numbers, it will enable access to previous Debian packages, as well as current and future versions. Schulze puts the required daily data volume at 3 to 4 GB. Present implementations already consume 4 TB, providing a valuable community service, he adds. The ability to install old packages and view the source codes will be immensely helpful for developers looking to fix regressions, and users frequently need older software to run specific applications.
The second project: data archive, will contain packages so huge they cannot be distributed through the regular archive. These could include medical, statistical and game data, the volume of which is growing continuously and Debian hopes to make available.
Sponsors are also needed for the two separate locations Debian plans for deployment. Unable to host from the US for legal reasons (some packages are not allowed to be distributed from within the USA). Ideally, Debian would like to run both projects on the same hardware, provided the donated resources prove sufficient.
Sponsors are asked to send a mail to email@example.com. "The Debian project is hoping for an independent storage array that can be extended or upgraded without having to reconfigure the hardware of the server attached to it," says Schulze, and,"A disk shelf based SATA SAN seems ideal for this application."
Debian envisions 10 TB to start, where a RAID with 12x 1 TB SATA drive seeming to be a good compromise between price and capacity. Hosts should consist of two recent CPUs and 32 GB RAM. Debian's available machines simply do not meet these requirements.

RTS Hosting 2 Dinner Panels at TGC13
We're excited to announce the addition of two dinner panels at our upcoming 2013 National Conference in Orlando. Hosted by our premier sponsor, Reformed Theological Seminary, these free events will aid anyone desiring to better navigate, trust, and cherish God's Word.
There is no need to register separately for these panels, both of which be held on the "RTS Stage" across from the main stage at Rosen Shingle Creek.
Monday, April 8, 5:30 p.m.: Having Confidence in the Scriptures
Panelists: Justin Taylor, Bruce Baugus, John Currid, Chuck Hill, Michael Kruger
Even as they affirm the inspiration, inerrancy, and infallibility of God's Word, Christians sometimes struggle to have confidence in the Scriptures. The Bible is attacked from outside the church and often minimized within the church. This panel will strengthen our confidence in the truthfulness and trustworthiness of the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments.
Tuesday, April 9, 5:30 p.m.: Seeing Christ in the Old Testament
Panelists: David Mathis, Mark Futato, Scott Redd, Derek Thomas, Miles Van Pelt
On the road to Emmaus, Jesus helped two disciples see him in the Old Testament: "And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself" (Luke 24:27). Christians affirm that all of Scripture points to Jesus but often have difficulty seeing how the pieces fit together. This panel will show us Christ in each part of the Old Testament, tracing the crescendo that builds in God's plan of redemption and leads directly to him.
Friends, don't forget to register for the conference. We'll see you in Orlando.

It would be incredibly stupid of the Isles to let him play a single game in Bridgeport. If he gets hurt, they won't be able to buy him out at the end of the year. And the odds are he'll get hurt.
Rick DiPietro attempts to clear up 'suicide' comments
Rick DiPietro's attempt to joke about the depression he's suffered during his injury-plagued NHL career was taken seriously by many, so he's since attempted to make it clear he was being facetious.
A tweet by New 12 Long Island's Kevin Maher mentioning DiPietro's injuries, hatred of fans and thoughts of killing himself caught the attention of national media and NHL writers.
DiPietro also admitted injuries, losing and fan hatred over the past 3 years made him think about killing himself at one point.—
Kevin Maher (@KMaherNews12) February 28, 2013
DiPietro quickly reached out to say the suicide reference was not serious.
#Isles Just spoke with Rick DiPietro, who assured me he was totally kidding. Although he knows that's not something to joke about anymore—
Katie Strang (@KatieStrangESPN) February 28, 2013
#Isles Credits wife for getting him through tough times & said he made off-hand comment abt what would happen if he didn't have her support—
Katie Strang (@KatieStrangESPN) February 28, 2013
In a statement from the Islanders, general manager Garth Snow said the team would look into the comments:
We are aware of Rick's comments today and the severity of them. We will handle them internally as we do with all player matters. This is an opportunity for Rick to play lots of games in Bridgeport."
DiPietro, who waived last week by the Islanders, signed for $4.5 million a year through 2021, but was limited by injuries to just 47 NHL game appearances during the past four seasons.
On Wednesday, he told Newsday that he was excited about being able to play games with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers.
"The last couple of years, with all the injuries, if it's taught me anything, it's that I need to enjoy what I do," DiPietro said. "It's a good opportunity to play a lot of games and get sharp. At the end of the day, you want to compete. You want to win. That's what I want to do.
"It's just playing games. You can't replicate games, game speed. I'll be able to do that here."

Bay Lake >Lodging > Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
4401 Grand Floridian Way, Lake Buena Vista, FL | Directions 3283028.200819 -82.723443
Mon. - Sun. 24 Hours
Neighborhoods: Bay Lake
Nice, but not really the best at Disney – They hotel is very expensive, but beautifully themed. It appears to fit the bill of a luxury resort. Unfortunately, the staff (they're probably not even worth being called "cast members" here) screw it up. I had a string of disappointments from the moment I checked in:
1. The front desk refused to split my room charges into two different accounts. I needed to split up the business and pleasure parts of the trip, and they just wouldn't do it. Come on: the Hampton Inn will do this.
2. The cleaning job in my bathroom left a lot to be desired. Pubic hair in the shower. When I called housekeeping, they sent someone right up, and they did... almost nothing. The shower never got cleaned. After two such visits, I wiped it out myself.
3. After midnight, I was headed to the pool. I called the front desk and asked if there were towels at the pool. I was told, "Not this late, you'll have to bring your own." When I got to the pool, there was a staff member who continued to stock pool towels for over an hour. The front desk person had no idea what was going on.
Most of these events really aren't big deals. But they demonstrate that the service just isn't up to par with other luxury hotels. I expected this hotel to be something special- a step or two above the other Disney resorts. It just wasn't.
All that said- I ultimately had a great stay. It was a beautiful hotel, but for the extra cost, there are far better choices at Disney.
Everything you expect of Disney – As a local, I got to know all of the Disney resorts and the Grand Floridian is the most worth your time and money. The spa is amazing, very clean and a lot of personal, customized attention. The separate hair salon did a great job on my friend's difficult highlights and the restuarants were perfect. There is also a live orchestra that plays in the lobby. Monorail access takes you to the parks, and the marina has those great little boats. Best of all, the wedding chapel there has a carriage like Cinderella's and now my friend liked it so well she's getting married there!
The splendor of Florida's high-society resort living of the early 1900s recalls the atmosphere of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. – The Scene
This is Disney's flagship hotel, modeled after early-1900s Florida beach resorts, with a Victorian theme of flawless consistency, from design to service protocols. Among a palatial setting of red gabled roofs, the opulent lobby (with marble floors and elaborate chandeliers,) expansive verandas, vintage automobiles, a staff in Edwardian attire and afternoon tea accompanied by old-time piano music create a scene right of out of "The Great Gatsby."
The Details
Most rooms enjoy panoramic views, be it of the lagoon, or the hotel's marina, courtyard or gardens. The pool resembles a natural Florida spring, while a white-sand beach, vibrant flower gardens, a wedding chapel and croquet appeal to honeymooners. Its spa is ranked among the best in the U.S., and the collection of on-site restaurants includes the intimate and award-winning Victoria & Albert's, featuring Floridian and seasonal fare.
Poor Service at the Spa – Staff seems to busy and unhappy. Facilities are outdated. No towels at the locker room. This facility is not at the same level as the rest of the hotel. Not coming back!
Ultimate Luxury Disney Resort! – One of the very best Resorts I have ever stayed at! The service is outstanding, the rooms are great, the amenities are excellent, and the Grand Floridian Spa is one of the very best! The resort is also home to Victoria & Alberts, a formal 5 Diamond Restaurant, one of the best in Central Florida!
Beautiful – From looking at the outside it was like a dream come true. I felt like Cinderella as we drove through the nice entry at Disney's Grand Floridian. The wonderful landscaping, it was like walking out of a dream. When we checked in the "cast member" was very polite and treated us as if we were larger than life. I am sure that was her job, but it was awesome. There was also a kid appeal that you don't get at regular hotels. I loved it. My family and I will definatly make the Grand Floridian the number resort on our list!
Twins – Excellent, superb and beautiful hotel. I love that the monorail passes by the hotel and it feels like home when you return from the parks.
Best Hotel Ever – My family and I started comming to the Grand ever since I was a year old. I am now 15, and love going back more then anything. Every Spring Brake we stay in the Sugar Loaf building for 3 weeks, and by now know the faculty like they are family.
Truly Grand – This hotel is fitting of its name. It's decor is old victorian, and even has a orchestra in the main lobby every night, and high tea every day. Some say it is stuffy, I say it's classy. You pay for what you recieve, if you don't want elegance then stay at the all-star(though they are nice too).
