A Henrico County woman has been sentenced in the fatal shooting of a man while the two played with a gun.
Twenty -two-year-old Sharday Pleasants pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter in February. She told police she and 19-year-old Samuel Clarke II took turns pulling the trigger of a .38--caliber revolver on Aug. 1, 2011. She said she didn't know the gun was loaded.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that Pleasants was sentenced Wednesday in Henrico County Circuit Court to 18 months in prison.
Prosecutors had asked for a five-year sentence.

Fenwick puts bloglaw front and center with its Web 2.0 sponsorship
Summary: Silicon Valley law firm Fenwick & West could have chosen to market any of its practices in connection with sponsoring Web 2.0. In the past, a brochure on its intellectual property, corporate, or litigation practices might have been offered. But this year, Fenwick wants attendees to focus on the risks and rewards of blogging.
Silicon Valley law firm Fenwick & West paid a lot of money to be a Gold sponsor of this year's Web 2.0 conference, which among other things bought it the chance to put a flyer in the official conference bag. Interestingly, that flyer doesn't focus as one might expect on the firm's intellectual property, corporate, litigation, or more traditional practice areas. Instead, it mines for business by steering the attendees' attention to a year old article on the legal risks and rewards of blogs and blogging:
With the proliferation of weblogs or "blogs," companies find themselves faced with a new forum for employee conduct that poses both risks and rewards...
[Updated 11/10/06, 6:45 a.m.] As Kevin O'Keefe points out: in answering this question for itself, the Fenwick apparently and/or thus far has come down on the "risk" side of the equation. (Kevin, who makes no bones about the fact he supplies blogging services to law firms, questions the ability of a firm in such a position — i.e., one that has not itself eaten the blogging dog food — to provide sufficiently comprehensive and informed advice.)

text: Biden: Feds Might Bail Out Detroit Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 20 Jul 2013 post a comment Vice President Joe Biden said on Friday that the White House might bail out Detroit. He said White House officials held a meeting on Thursday to discuss the matter after Detroit became the largest city in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy. "Can we help Detroit?" Biden said. "We don't know at this point." A day after Detroit filed for bankruptcy, a circuit court judge on Friday ordered the filing to be withdrawn, arguing it violated a part of Michigan's constitution that protects union pensions. The judge also said she would send a copy of her ruling to President Barack Obama, whom she said the filing dishonored. She also predicted Obama would have a role in Detroit's ultimate fate. Michigan's attorney general is appealing the ruling and has asked that the process be expedited. Obama had said he would refuse "to let Detroit go bankrupt" on the campaign trial in 2012.

- Thanks!pandabearDined on 11/15/2014Hosted a birthday dinner there - food was delicious, service was good - no complaints!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wicked awesome food and serviceNomNomNomtatorDined on 11/8/2014Met a friend for dinner when I was visiting Boston. The atmosphere was very welcoming and comfortable, there was a wide drink selection. The flat bread appetizer was out of this world, burger and fries were delicious and filling.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great brunchFoodieDined on 11/2/2014Food & service were wonderful. Waiter told us another diner had paid our bill. We joined the 'pay it forward' game which made a great dining experience even better. The manager came to our table to thank us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good price, decent foodPicabboVIPDined on 10/26/2014Inexpensive brunch in Backbay, but the service was meh.....Special Features:
- Neighborhood gemPLLLLVIPDined on 10/25/2014A nice, affordable restaurant for lunch or early dinner. Food was really good. I will definitely come here again to try out their brunch.Special Features:
- Please skip the saltCondoCookVIPDined on 10/21/2014My friends and I ordered a flatbread to start, which was tasty and enjoyable. I was very excited to try the scallops and risotto, but was slightly disappointed in how salty the dish was. Don't get me wrong, it was still delicious, but it definitely was on the salty side. I would definitely go back again to try something else on the menu.Special Features:
- Ok brunchnjgalinwtVIPDined on 10/19/2014We ate here for Sunday brunch. It's mostly an egg menu. The food came out fast. It's large portions, but just average. We didn't find it anything special.
- Great brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/28/2014Good table by the window, polite and prompt service, and lots of tasty brunch entrees. Excellent hash browns.Special Features:
- Not a martini barDebbieVIPDined on 9/13/2014Their website advertises themselves as a small plates and martinet bar. I was excited to se the extensive martini menu and was shocked when there was only one to offer! The food was good, upscale comfort food and not too pricey. If you like dessert after your meal, don't go, they only have one option, an ice cream drink!Special Features:
- brunch starKisaDined on 9/7/2014I've been here a few times for brunch and the food is always great. the service was pretty off this time - took a really long time to get the food itself considering there were 3 other tables - never had that happen. but it's easy to overlook that when the food is as good as it is. We got the duck hash and pulled pork benny - staples whenever we come and as usual we weren't disappointed.Special Features:
- The following 40 reviews are from the Brownstone reviews archive.
- No witty title, just love it hereChocoboPieVIPDined on 7/13/2014Boston offers a myriad of delicious brunch options but Brownstone is our tried and true favorite. I've never gotten anything I didn't like and the wait staff never stresses me out or hurries us. I'm supposed to go easy on the carbs and sugars, so it's great that there is a robust omelette section that I can fill with meat and veggies. I like being able to substitute a side salad instead of one of their other (delicious, but high carb) sides.Special Features:
- Nice breakfast findLovetoeatVIPDined on 7/13/2014Cute little breakfast restaurant. Has many TVs for sports and would assume good for lunch. Had special egg sandwich which comes with arugula and a special sauce. Very different and good.others had eggs with pancakes and bacon. Everyone liked.Special Features:
- Wonderful & decadentKirstenrunsVIPDined on 7/9/2014Wonderful gem for foodies and non foodies alike! Had the duck confit sammie. Delish! Exciting drink list and for the area, its incredibly affordable!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The 15 minute Bloody Maryebj100Dined on 7/4/2014Egg sandwich was great but service was horrible. Server would disappear in a lightly served day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great BrunchSam12Dined on 6/22/2014Food was amazing you have to get the banana pancakes, they are decedent. The food was a little slow table of 4 came after us and was served before us but our waitress was great and apologized for the wait. The food is priced ver reasonable, would definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great little brunch placeWatertownStrongDined on 6/15/2014I don't know why this place isn't more crowded since it's so near Back Bay Station. I found it when my friend missed her train and we had two hours to kill. She ordered the 'hangover special' and I ordered the eggs Sammy. Both were delicious. When I came back with friends, I ordered the crunchy French toast with fried chicken. The chicken portions were small; I could barely see the pieces hidden among the French toast, but it was delicious as well. I felt the portions were generous and the entrees were reasonably priced for a restaurant. I will definitely come back if I'm in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, great atmosphereKristenDined on 6/13/2014I really enjoyed Brownstone. I ordered the hummus app and it was delicious. The pita was so good. I then had a flatbread which was also delicious. My friends had the salmon, and scallop app dish as a meal. They raved about both of them. We'll definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodBBooTtooDined on 6/8/2014Good food, but don't go if you're in a hurry. You should sit right away but you will wait a while. Servers are very niceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Brunch findHollangDined on 6/8/2014Enjoyed very much the ambience and the quality of food. Pancakes were more like cake, extremely fluffy. Duck & sweet potato hash & eggs very unusual but tasty. great coffee and nicely spiced bloody marys. All in all a delightful find.Special Features:
- Great Mother's Day BrunchFourkidsmomDined on 5/11/2014The entire family enjoyed Mom's special day!! Delicious food, just the right amount of noise! Loved the mimosaSpecial Features:
- foodluverVIPDined on 5/10/2014A meet up group of mine went here and they were very accomadating with a larger group. The food is on the good and creative side of bar food, almost gastropub-like. We were there on the night the Bruins were playing so I imagine that it's not typically as loud as it was that night. Service was good, but nothing special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great brunch valueOutoftownerVIPDined on 5/10/2014We thought we wanted lunch, but found they do brunch only (on the weekends I assume) until 2 p.m. No bother...it's so affordable, the food quality is high, and the portions are huge! Had the combo ($10), which is two eggs, choice of meat, large serving of potatoes, toast or English Muffin, AND 4 pieces of French toast (or pancakes)! I couldn't finish it, and normally I can put food away! This is one of the best brunch values in town!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brownstone BrunchFredVIPDined on 5/10/2014the menu had some really interesting and more unique brunch items including duck/sweet potato hash. I had the pulled pork with mac and cheese sauce and definitely left nothing on the plate- the spicey bloody mary, including bacon was the best! Great service as well.Special Features:
- Birthday brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/24/2014I had a a delightful experience, I don't remember our waitress's name but she was so nice and gave us lunch to remember, beautiful spot! We felt romantic, private yet social too. I had a dessert item of the crunchy french toast for my birthday and I could not have asked for anything more. My boyfriend had a delicous Duck sammy. Defiently going back :)Special Features:
- Okay spot. Nothing special.SoEnderVIPDined on 4/19/2014Four stars for the beer list. The food was nothing special -- the flatbread dough was particularly underwhelming. The bacon parmessan popcorn was pretty good. Service was slow on a night when the place wasn't too full. Nothing bad will happen to you here, but I wouldn't go out of my way.
- Good food but LOUDbostonbecDined on 3/7/2014Brownstone was not what I was expecting at all. The music was very loud, like being in a club, and there were TVs everywhere, like being in a sports bar. My dinner companions and I could hardly hear each other without shouting. For this reason, I wouldn't go back or recommend it as a dinner spot. That said, the food was very tasty, much better than the ambience would suggest. The service was average.Special Features:
- Perfect for the Occasiontime4funDined on 2/23/2014I was meeting a friend from out of town for brunch just prior to her scheduled departure, so location, prompt and attentive service, in an area quiet enough to hear each other were key elements, closely followed by delicious options, and an attractive friendly atmosphere. Three top rated spots were booked up, but Clery's recommended Brownstone. We couldn't have been more pleased. On OpenTable I asked for a quiet spot to catch up so our booth on the upper tier, toward a corner, away from the bar, but with a good view of other happy diners - perfect. Menu options were intriguing, and we settled on Duck and Sweet Potato Hash and Fritata of the day. Delicious! The House Bloody Marys were spicey and well-garnished. I'll definitely return!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- casual pub fareRegulardinerVIPDined on 2/16/2014this is a convenient place for a drink and relaxed meal; it is not gourmet fare, but the food is good and service efficient; my 20 something daughter liked itSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Valentines Dayaim0513Dined on 2/14/2014This was a great place for my boyfriend and I to have our kind of Valentine's day. It was a fun, lively pub, with affordable food, great service and a fun environment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- South End FindHarleysMomDined on 2/8/2014We were looking for a place to take our son for his birthday, and stumbled upon Brownstones. The food and service were great. The fact that I could make reservations on a Saturday night were anbonusSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unexpectedly GoodLindaVIPDined on 2/2/2014I went to brunch this past Sunday. I made a reservation, but the place wasn't very crowded anyway. The food was fantastic. I ordered the chicken and crunchy French toast and ate the whole thing. The chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned. The French toast was a little bit of heaven. The drinks were really good too. I wish they offered lattes and validated parking. Other than that, I had a positive experience and would go back.Special Features:
- Birthday dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 1/31/2014We went with a group of 8 people for my brother's birthday and were quickly seated. Service was prompt and they didn't mind when other friends showed up to join. It was extremely loud though and while we were in a celebratory mood (and probably added to the noise level) it's not a place to have a relaxing conversation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyed it a lotBBooTtooDined on 1/26/2014I wil say that the service is slow. Otherwise, though, the service was friendly and complete. The food was really good and it was surprisingly reasonably priced (the equivalent of a Denny's Lumberjack costs $9). The fried chicken and French toast is great if you're looking for something different. The hash browns/home fries are excellent and the coffee is really good. The best part (esp. For the south end) is that we could get a reservation on a Saturday and the restaurant is big and open so you can actually go with a group and not feel cramped.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Back Bay Bar for few BucksAdderley3CVIPDined on 1/21/2014Here's a spot in BBY located a few steps from the BBY station. It's location is key as it is easy for those who commute to stop in with friends, grab a bite and beverage, and still make it back to BBY for transit home. Food and service were nice and price was reasonable. A good find along a strip with many choices. The calamari was slightly spicy and the truffle fries were great, which both complimented the Sauvignon Blanc. Hopefully they ail expand the wine by the glass options in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Generally greatBostonDinerVIPDined on 1/9/2014There seemed to be a bit of confusion/lack of clarity among the waitstaff regarding who was supposed to be taking care of us. Because of this, we waited quite a bit after seating, with no apology or recognition. However, once our waitress took our order, we received excellent service. The restaurant was clearly busy, and we appreciated that our server was nonetheless, very pleasant and on top of her game. I wish we could have had the pleasure of having her take care of us as soon as we were seated.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Copley bruch optionmom2tristanVIPDined on 12/15/2013We had brunch on a snowy Sunday morning at 10:30am. The place was pretty quiet when we arrived, but got busier as the morning progressed. The menu was relatively small but had a wide variety of options within it. The server was having a rough morning it seemed, but she was professional, even if not cheerful. My husband had the eggs and potatoes with bacon. I had the "Sammy" which was a great breakfast sandwich. The potatoes were excellent. Everything else was solidly above average, including the drinks. I would definitely go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent food, more of a barOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 12/13/2013Very noisy with the after work crowd. Food was fine and we had nice serviceSpecial Features:
- Nice Neighborhood RestaurantRobTNHVIPDined on 12/8/2013Had brunch on Sunday. Had all of the basics and a few items that were a little more unusual. I had pulled pork eggs benedict. They were very good. My wife had Frosted Flake coated french toast. It was better than similar dishes we have had at different restaurants. This is a very comfortable neighborhood bar and grill. If we lived nearby I would think we would be there often. Will return for casual dinner sometime.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Casual BreakfastSeelxrVIPDined on 12/1/2013Perfect for a casual brunch/breakfast. Reasonably priced great tasting food and beverages without a formal setting. Vibe was young adult friends getting together, city strollers and "morning after" meal. Great service and friendly environment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TastyJackieAVIPDined on 11/22/2013We had the special appetizer - Korean spiced scallops. Phenomenal! I can't stop thinking about them. I'd also recommend the deviled eggs. The flatbread was disappointing. Don't waste your time there. The menu has incredible options to choose from. You can get flatbread anywhere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Guest Review: We couldn't believe our eyes and our senses when we stayed at 'The Gift'. Our home away from home is a casually elegant farmhouse appointed with early American antiques and every modern comfort. The attention to detail made us feel very comfortable. The cozy fireplace is framed by sun drenched windows on either side. The modern kitchen is a cook's delight. Out of the two bedrooms we chose to sleep in the large upstairs loft with a surround sound entertainment system. We didn't even get to use the system downstairs. Ahh, the steam room for two is a must-use. Because of the cold weather we didn't get to use the wrap around screened in porch, but will do so on our next visit. The village of Woodstock is a just a 7 minute ride which rounded out our get-away weekend. We certainly could have stayed longer.' Roberta/Terry Ossining, NY
Guest Review: We are from NYC and wanted to escape the city and spend my 40th birthday in a secluded house in the woods. We spent so much time looking for the perfect getaway place. We found 'The Gift' and it seemed too good to be true. Judy, the owner, was
wonderful. The house is amazing! The pictures on the website do not do it justice. We ended up spending evenings at home, cooking in the gourmet kitchen, soaking in the hot tub, playing games and laughing so much. Thanks Judy! This weekend was
really special and we will certainly be back. Marty, NYC
In a word, romance. we had the thrill of staying in this luxurious cottage this past weekend. Not only is it in a fabulous location perfect for visiting food markets and shops, but it also gives you the perfect base to experience the country in a manner that the average tourist never really does. The cottage is a godsend for two couples or friends. The ahhhhhhh feeling was great. We will definitely be back.
Guest Reviews: Your house feels like a home!! It is hard for us to leave. It is truly a 'gift'! We'll definitely be back. The beautiful property
is worth driving 5 hours from Montreal! Miguel & Edith
Words and pictures cannot describe the beauty of this cottage. It is truly a gift!. My boyfriend and I spent five days in this relaxing, sanctuary. I was astonished by the loving detail put throughout the cottage. The kitchen is absolutely beautiful and inspired us both to find our inner chefs. After a strenuous day of hiking we soaked our tired muscles in the outdoor hot tub. The tree lights added to the soothing atmosphere. One of my favorite parts of the cottage was the wrap around porch it was a great spot to get lost in a novel. Judy made us feel at home and was very helpful and before and during our stay. The cottage is located in an ideal spot, 5 minutes from the center of Woodstock. Before we left we started planning our next visit! We can't wait to come back! Renee, N.J.

O-N-E Sports Editor
Individual wrestlers from all around the Catawba County area are preparing for this week's NCHSAA state wrestling tournament and many are working together.
On Tuesday, the state qualified wrestlers from St. Stephens and Bunker Hill spent time together in practice trying to prepare one another for the competition they will face.
Indians coach Billy Baker likes the idea of changing up the daily routine to help his wrestlers not become used to their familiar surroundings.
The Lady Trojans jumped out to a 17-0 lead and never looked back.
Bandys advanced to the district round of the NCHSAA playoffs with an impressive win over Smoky Mountain on Monday.
The win was the first since the Lady Trojans won the Catawba Valley Athletic Conference tournament last week.
Bandys coach Beth Queen thought one of the keys to the game was Bandys' experience against Smoky Mountain's inexperience.
Newton-Conover bounced back from a loss to Bandys last week in the CVAC tournament and took their frustrations out on Starmount.
The Lady Red Devils (22-3) overcame a 9-2 deficit early in game and exploded in the second quarter on their way to a huge first round playoff win over the Lady Rams.
Newton-Conover coach Jonathan Tharpe expected nothing less of his team despite the difficult loss on Friday.
The first round playoff pairings for Monday's games were released on Saturday.
Among those teams hosting home games are two girls' basketball teams, including CVAC regular season champion Newton-Conover and CVAC tournament champion Bandys.
The Lady Red Devils (21-3) will try to rebound from a tough loss to the Trojans in the conference tournament championship game on Friday. They host Starmount (10-12), the No. 3 team out of the Mountain Valley Conference.
It took the Trojans three times, but they finally got the monkey off of their back.
Tara Potter scored 15 points, including 11 in the second half, and fellow senior Katie Carpenter came up with some crucial second half plays, as Bandys overcame a four-point halftime deficit to win the CVAC tournament over Newton-Conover.
Thursday's game was a tale of two halfs and a tale of two Storys.
Bandys' Jesse Story connected on seven 3-pointers and her sister, Madi, came up with some crucial plays on defense in the second half, as the Lady Trojans earned a CVAC semifinal win against East Burke on Thursday.
Five of Jesse's 3-pointers came in the opening half of play.
"Jesse has been shooting the ball well," said Bandys coach Beth Queen. "She wanted the ball and she was ready for it. As well as she is shooting it now, the more we can get the ball in her hands, the better off we will be as a team."
For the second time in three games, the Lady Red Devils and Lady Warriors faced off.
Unfortunately for West Caldwell, it was the same result.
Newton-Conover (21-2) scored 38 straight points on their way to a dominant Catawba Valley Athletic Conference semifinal win against West Caldwell.
The Lady Red Devils made up for a lack on intensity that coach Jonathan Tharpe saw in their opening round victory against Bunker Hill on Monday.
At age 41, Derek Correll is riding the biggest waves in his life.
Correll, a Sherrills Ford native, has been involved in the sport of watercross since 1987.
He initially became active in the sport by spending time with friends who were interested in jet skis as well.
"I started working on jet skis," Correll said. "I met up with some guys who were doing the same thing I was doing at the time. They also did their own maintenance work. I got involved with them a little bit and started learning things from them."
Monday was a day all about love. For the Lady Red Devils and Lady Bears, it was all about survival.
Newton-Conover's Shynese Whitener scored 19 points and the Lady Red Devils got key bench play down the stretch as they picked up a CVAC tournament first round win against Bunker Hill.
Despite the victory, N-C coach Jonathan Tharpe was disappointed in his team's energy for most of the game.
Two in a row.
Newton-Conover fought off an early game slump to blow open a big lead against West Caldwell on their way to their 13th conference win.
The victory gives the Lady Red Devils their second consecutive CVAC championship on Senior night.
"This is a huge accomplishment for this team," said N-C head coach Jonathan Tharpe. "These seniors have spent three years with me working on trying to be the best basketball players and teammates that they can. For us to win back-to-back conference championships is very special."

My daughter needed to get out of her apartment in Denver but did not have a new apartment in Atlanta for 6 weeks.

I had difficulty finding movers to move me from Nebraska to Montana. I called everywhere and the quotes were rediculous and the delivery time for my furniture would range from 6 to 8 weeks.

Do not use these movers! They subcontract with any local cheap mover of their choice. Most of my items that they packed were damaged, some beyond repair.

We had a short time frame to move from KS to AZ and Budget knew we had never completed a long distance move led us to believe things would be okay.

This company is out to scam you and steal your money. The agent gave me a quote based on my inventory. I told him that I would have to add items as I was not home. He told me not to worry and that he will over estimate everything for me. Needless to say when the movers came they told me that I was under quoted. Instead of pay...[full review]

I was initially dismayed by the service. My move cost $500 more than the estimate ($1650). I was responsible for around $200 of that, for overage in weight and long carry charges.

A bad experience is a understatement for my experience. I used the shipping company for two previous moves and they were great. The agents were rude and did not properly code my order.

My experience with Budget was overall very good! Using a broker means that one has to expect some issues. And my issues are with the company they contracted with!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IT WILL MAKE YOUR MOVE A NIGHTMAREMy move contracted to On Time Moving, by Budget Van Lines.

I used Budget Van lines for my recent move from California to Georgia and I'm glad I did. When doing a move of that distance there is a greater chance of damaged inventory, but NOT with Budget Van line movers.

Although I had some difficult times with my move with Budget Van Lines, I want to point out that the customer service was exceptional.

I selected this company from a number of choices. It was a bad choice. The salesman was not truthful nor was the management. The contracts are written so that the poor performing movers can over charge and hold your belonging until they receive payment. [full review]
First of all, Budget Van Lines is a broker. The come on is that they can move you for an amount less than other moving companies.

Perched on the edge of stunning North Yorkshire, this perfectly preserved historic fishing and smuggling area of Saltburn is steeped in ancient history and maintains much of its original charm as a Victorian seaside town.
Its warm and welcoming residents are extremely proud of their heritage, from its oldest public house, The Ship Inn, dating back to the 1500's to the stunning Saltburn Pier, recently restored to it's former glory. The pier is the most northerly surviving British Pier and only remaining pleasure pier on the
North East coast.
If you're discovering the town for the first time, there are plenty of things to
see and do. Whether you're looking for breath-taking leisurely walks, taking advantage of the beaches or browsing around the local attractions,
Saltburn by the Sea has it all.
Enjoy magnificent sweeping beaches at your leisure. Or, if you're after a great surf, there are great breaks to suit all, from beginners to the more experienced on the north and south side of the old pier.
The upper and lower promenades are great for long leisurely walks looking out across the Saltburn coastline. The walk is part of the 36 mile Heritage coast, displaying dramatic headlands and climbing high above smugglers' secret caves, then meandering south towards Whitby.
Stroll down through the beautiful Saltburn Valley Gardens where you can appreciate the manicured Italian Garden flowerbeds and the ruins of the old corn mill. Stop off at the tea rooms and the Woodland Centre, to gain valuable information on the many local walks the permanent orienteering course. Then jump aboard the miniature railway* for a ride which runs from the Valley Gardens to the sea front.
Ride the Saltburn Cliff Lift* - the oldest water balanced cliff tramway running 120ft from the town on the upper promenade, down to the Pier on the lower promenade, lovingly restored and refurbished with amazing stained glass windows.
Pay a visit to The Ship Inn, dating back to the 1500's, for a bite to eat and a drink. Or try one of the vast array of cafes, pubs and restaurants catering for every discerning palette, from light lunches and snacks to evening meals.
Wildlife lovers can visit Saltburn Gill, a 52 acre woodland nature reserve, Seal Sands where a colony of seals reside at various times of the year, and there are always plenty of seabirds to steal your chips!
If you prefer to venture further afield for day trips out, then Whitby is only a 45 minute drive away and Scarborough is 1 hour, 10 minutes. Or, if you fancy popping inland for a spot of shopping, you will find Middlesbrough just a 30 minute drive from Saltburn. Alternatively, Saltburn's railway station will take you to your desired locations - check out the local train times and destinations.

About Janet Dalton
I am a dog groomer and I also purchase property for investment reasons. I decided to combine three of my favourite things in life -spending time with my dog, buying property and my love of Saltburn since childhood. So I bought an apartment in Saltburn for others to visit and which is dog friendly. (Note: you are also very welcome to stay if you don't have dogs!)
Janet Dalton purchased this apartment in 2014
Why Janet Dalton chose Saltburn-by-the-Sea
I specifically chose this property because it has fantastic sea views, it is on the ground floor and while being quite spacious, it is also cosy and welcoming.
What makes this apartment unique
Saltburn is on the very edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. It is a beautiful town in its own right with wonderful beach, promenade, and woodland walks. It is also very close to many other wonderful places to visit; Guisborough, Roseberry Topping, Robin Hood's Bay, Sandsend, Stokesley, Whitby, Scarborough, Middlesbrough, Helmsley, Mount Grace Priory, just to name a handful of places that are close by and worthy of a visit.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We all had a great time and will be giving very positive reviews on trip advisor.
One of the best decorated pads we have ever stayed in.

Who really has those Hallmark Christmases with crackling fireplaces and Bing Crosby on the record player? Gear up for the hallowed days of fending off that creepy uncle and trying not to smirk at your grandma's annual public meltdown by enjoying an evening with Trailer Trash. One dollop of hell-bent honky-tonk with a dash of dirty garage rock, these locals have been offering holiday caterwauls in a friendly, if dysfunctional, manner for fifteen years running. Forget "Away in a Manger." Trailer Trash's "Please Daddy Don't Get Drunk This X-mas" is far more appropriate. They also lovingly pervert old-time classics, such as their version of "Do You Hear What I Hear" with a spliced-in Kinks riff. With two Christmas albums under their belt, Trailer Trash will provide enough wacky holiday cheer to keep you boot-scooting until February, when you still haven't managed to take down that damn garland. 21+.
Saturdays, 9 p.m.; Fri., Dec. 19, 9 p.m. Starts: Dec. 6. Continues through Dec. 20, 2008

Which 4 of these places are best for breakfast for a first visit to New Orleans?
- t
- TeacherFoodie Oct 1, 2012 02:40 PM
Hi NO hounds,
I am currently in the process of creating my itinerary for a visit in December. I've been enjoying reading through your threads and have come up with the following options for breakfast. Which ones would you pick if you could only pick 4? They will be for weekday early breakfasts. Cafe du monde will obviously be on the list - but do I need to go here at breakfast or could it be a snack later in the day?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Red Gravy, Mena's Palace, Clover Grill, Commerce Restaurant, Daisy Dukes, Surey's, Elizabeth's, Stanley, Brennan's, Camellia Grill, Coffee Pot (callas cakes), EAT, Café du Monde
I'm particularly a fan of Surry's and Elizabeth's (closed Mondays) and happen to like the Commerce (it's nothing particularly fancy but the service is old school).
EAT doesn't do weekday breakfasts.
Mena's is, in my opinion, not worth the time ... boring and shoddily prepared.
I don't have a strong enough opinion to comment on the others.
Although not everybody's been a fan, I still like the Cake Cafe (in the Marigny) and also the Ruby Slipper when they're not crowded ... early is good. (As an aside, It looks like the R.S. in the Marigny should be up and running soonish. Haven't read anything about it yet but the guys doing the renovation seemed to think they were nearing completion.)
re: montuori
Do you mean Ruby Slipper on Magazine Street? That location is really close to our hotel.
re: TeacherFoodie
I visit the original up on Cortez in Mid-City (it's far easier to park the motorcycle). I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm way wrong but I can't imagine the two locations being vastly different.
Likewise with Surry's ... I usually end up at the Lower Garden location and have never really noticed a difference between the two, aside for the perception that the Uptown locale serves bigger portions on occasion. The hash at Surry's is really, really good.
re: texasredtop
Doesn't Cafe Beignet have you put on the powdered sugar yourself? I didn't like that about them and don't see any difference between the beignets.
re: perrottwilliamson
I got an order to go and the sugar was at the bottom of the bag. I'd rather dip my hot beignet and not get a mouthful of powdered sugar on some bites. I was the other side of Metairie before I could even handle them they were so hot AND so delicious! My husband had a breakfast sandwich on a croissant and said it was the best breakfast sandwich he'd ever had. From that point on I will not stop at CDM but instead go to Cafe Beignet. Wish I would have tried it earlier. I do love the frozen coffee at CDM but didn't try any drinks at Cafe Beignet.
re: perrottwilliamson
I love Camilla Grill uptown. If you are hung over, nothing is better than a chili cheese omelet. In fact, if it's lat e at night, that's a good way to prevent a hangover!
I would never go to Cafe du monde for breakfast. It's always been my late afternoon pick-up or late at night pick-up. Too much sugar that early in the day makes me shaky
I don't think beignets and coffee a breakfast make. Ok to stop on your way to an actual breakfast (at Stanley, for example, which is just a couple of blocks away). Many prefer CDM late at night or very early in the morning, when it is not nearly as crowded.
A big thumb's up from me for Elizabeth's. I would add Coffee Pot, Red Gravy, and Stanley as my 4. Brennan's gets little love on this board (generally considered mediocre and wildly expensive), but there are a couple of strong advocates here too, so if you have the budget and want one old school NOLA experience, it might be fun.
re: Gizmo56
We're staying at the Hyatt French Quarter, so any of these great breakfast places close to there? I am sure my friends I am going with want to go to CDM, but I will try to convince them Cafe Beignet is a better bet.
re: robinsilver
Stanley and Coffee Pot are in the French Quarter, so they would both be an easy walk. Red Gravy is only about half a block outside the FQ, just across Canal Street, so it is also a brief walk.
Elizabeth's is in the Bywater, so that will be a cab ride, unless you have the time and inclination for a long walk across the French Quarter and through the Marigny.
re: Gizmo56
Thanks Gizmo. I was thinking Red Gravy was relatively close. There will be plenty of walking to do there, and we have 1 person who just had back surgery, and another one with a leg problem from a bad car accident, so we are going to have to take that into account. Thanks to mapquest, I can figure out how far each walk is.
re: Gizmo56
I agree with your comments on CDM. I love it, but only go early, or late. Often, if I want the beignets, I'll just pass on dessert, wherever, and head to CDM, especially if the fog has rolled in from the River.
I like both The Coffee Pot, and Stanley.
We are now (not always) fans of Brennan's, but have only done several brunches there - both Saturday and Sunday. When we lived in NOLA, many decades ago, we only went to Brennan's, when guests really wanted to go. Did not return for many years, and then, on a whim, did a Saturday brunch there. We WERE impressed, and enjoyed it greatly. Took an Eastern European guest there for Sunday brunch, and when we were back the next year, she insisted that we do it again. We have gone back once more. Each visit was very good to excellent, though the price tab (we usually do Champagne and a bottle of with Burg) is not cheap, in any way. I may be one of the very few, who do give Brennan's love, but over the last 6 years, they have not let us down at any level.
@ TeacherFoodie - ENJOY!
re: Bill Hunt
I also will recommend Brennan's. We have always had very good experiences here. Yes, it is pricey for what it is...but you're on vacation so it won't kill you. In fact I think you will enjoy yourselves very much. They are really good at what they do so we come back everytime we visit. Have a cocktail, the turtle soup, any of the egg dishes, and go for the bananas foster.
I can also recommend the Coffee Pot - would make this a regular breakfast outing - and Stanely. Stanely is on the higher end of the price scale for breakfast (not as steep as Brennan's) but worth it for the eggs, fried oysters and bloody mary's with a view of Jackson Square.
Save CDM for a late afternoon snack. And AVOID Daisy Duke's....bland soulless food...flithy restaurant.
re: Bill Hunt
What do you like at Stanley, Coffee Pot and Brennan's?
re: TeacherFoodie
At Coffee Pot, I have enjoyed Pan Perdue (my normal order), at Stanley, I have enjoyed several dishes, but the Eggs Stella! have been a standout. At Brennan's, everything, including the Eggs Benedict, have been very good, up to great. Only similar dish, that has been better, has been Campton Place (San Francisco), with a Crabmeat Benedict, but that is a different dish. As for Eggs Benedict, we have tried the dish at some vaunted restaurants, only to cite Brennan's as the best, in our humble opinion.
Surrey's would be my number one choice on this list. The laid back atmosphere & delicious food always draw me back. Their hash is out of bounds, and their fresh squeezed juices are amazing. I also love the Camellia Grill, but usually when nursing a pretty serious hangover. Mena's is a fine place for a plate lunch, and some inexpensive grub in the quarter, but im not a fan of their breakfast. Old Coffee Pot has some nice breakfast choices, and Stanley's twist on Benadicts' are a nice change of pace as well.
Although you may be a breakfast fan, its easy to over do it. Make sure to save appetite for many of the wonderful options for lunch/dinner.
re: GDPhalp
I've been a fan of Old Coffee Pot and have recommended it many times on this board, but my breakfast there with my wife for her birthday this morning was pretty bad. The service and atmosphere were still good, but we had the eggs sardou and the eggs creole. The sardou was $13.25 with no side of grits or potatoes. My eggs creole was the same price and included about two eggs scrambled wtih a little mushroom and peppers and a side of home fries that taste like they had been pre-cooked and microwaved. It was pretty disappointing. I wondered if on a Tuesday lunch, they are using their d-team cooks. As for your list, I like Surrey's the best too although the waits can be very long, especially at the Uptown location. Eat and Elizabeth's would be my next two choices. I've never been to Red Gravy.
Thanks for all the great feedback! We will probably try both CB and CDM for snack beignets, and I'll try to select 4 other places from your suggestions for breakfasts.
Our hotel, by the way, is the Mariott at 555 Canal Street.
I know Brennan's is old school and expensive; but I thought it was elegant and the food was very good. I may never have the need to enjoy a breakfast like that again, but I am glad I had the experience of eating there once.
I like Stanley! quite a bit and recommend it. The food is traditional in terms of ingredients, but they are presented oddly, which makes it fun.
I very much like EAT especially the blue cheese with fig spread (yum!) but they have odd hours for breakfast and/or brunch, so likely will not work for you. Worth the effort if you are in town when they are open.
Clover Grill is just a wild scene, you don't go there for the food, IMHO.
I feel kind of similar for CdM, if you take their food over to Jackson Square and relax in the park, it can be very nice, but the food itself isn't anything super amazing, and doesn't rise to the level of "breakfast" for me, it's not enough. Definitely a better choice for a snack at some random point during the day (and you'll miss the AM and late night crowds that way, too).
re: TeacherFoodie
for me, it is
CDM is a place I go when I have visitors or old classmates in town and it is a nice place to sit but their coffee hasn't been worth shooting in over thirty years. I drink mine black and theirs is awfully thin.(This comes from a man who still drips coffee a tablespoon at a time..very few places have properly strong and thick coffee to my taste.) I lost my taste for sugar when I was about 15 so the beignets hold no charm for me either. But, as I said, it is a nice place to sit.
re: hazelhurst
Now, and probably because we have not lived in NOLA for decades, I still enjoy the coffee - but that is just me.
Perhaps I have far too much "baggage," and cut them some unearned slack, but early, or late, I still enjoy CDM.
Now, I DO wish that they offered "raw sugar" from up River, but that is just me.
re: Bill Hunt
You can find raw sugar all around Baton Rouge..I get it from friends in the business (I use a little occasionally in black coffee in cool weather just for tradition sake and some friends need it for baking) I'll look around to see who has it for shipping. Some mills sell it in Ye Olde Gifte Shoppe but when you see the price and compare to what the subsidized price per pound is, you'll faint.
re: hazelhurst
Back when we lived in River Ridge, we'd head up River, and buy a 50# bag, around Destrehan, and buy raw sugar.
Over the decades, we have found that the Hawai`ian raw sugar, is to our taste, and more readily available, to those not living in South Louisiana. We travel with it in our luggage, and use it from London to NYC, where it is not that common.
We stumbled upon Stanley's after Mass at St. Louis Cathedral. Really good food and great service. It has been a couple of years since we went to the coffee pot and thought it was more of a tourist trap. Was $30 for breakfast for me and my wife and we did not have any alcohol (don't even know if they serve alcohol).
I had heard about Surrey's on Magazine a bunch and it stood up to its rep. Really crazy there. I don't believe we had the same server stop by out table more than once but we never lacked for anything. A real team there. The food was very good also. I agree with everyone else, as much as I like CDM, we don't consider it breakfast. Cafe Beignet has a good crafish omlette also. Another wrinkle is Daisy Dukes in the Quaters. Good food at a great price. The only problem with eating there is it is mostly a bar and you have some smokers there.
re: ilikeNOLA
People are allowed to smoke in bars in New Orleans?
re: TeacherFoodie
Yes, it is still legal, although many have gone non-smoking voluntarily. If you want to avoid second-hand smoke, here is a very useful resource:
re: Gizmo56
Thanks Gizmo! Is it allowed in restaurants as well?
re: TeacherFoodie
I don't think so. My wife and I were there 8 weeks ago, and did not encounter any smoking in any restaurants. Thankfully all of the bars and music venues we visited were smoke-free as well.
re: ilikeNOLA
Which Surreys did you visit 1418 or 4807 Magazine Street? Does the location matter?
re: TeacherFoodie
We had breakfast at 4807 Magazine Steet location. Magazine St. is a very neat shopping and restaurant location. Really cool.
We had b'fast 2x's last month at Jimmy J's cafe in the FQ.
Killer home fries and great omelettes.
Just off of Canal.
re: TeacherFoodie
While I have not dined at Elizabeth's, or Surrey's, I do read some great reviews from trusted folk, so would anticipate that they were great too.
Most of all, ENJOY!
re: TeacherFoodie
Surry's -- the hash.
Stanley -- the Breaux Bridge Benedict.
Elizabeth's -- the bun o' fun (breakfast) or the french toast & praline bacon (brunch) (Or their excellent fried chicken at dinner.)
re: nolala
We went to Elizabeth's seeking a Sunday breakfast rather than "hey days."
Good thing, because the breakfast was excellent.
re: Gizmo56
Cafe Adelaide, ruby slipper and brennans are the best breakfasts in my opinion over all.
Definitely check out Stanley . . .
Some people prefer Café du Monde; some prefer Café Beignet -- for me, it's a matter of timing. For breakfast, Café Beignet is (always) much closer to where I stay (usually the Roosevelt), and it's easier to walk to, *and* it's faster. I usually hit CDM in the afternoons or late evenings . . . but I do hit it.

A 26-year-old inmate at Seneca County Correctional Facility has been arrested for hitting a correction officer in the head.
Adam Jeffrey Briggs of Seneca Falls is charged with second-degree assault, a felony.
Sheriff's deputies say on October 23, Briggs became disruptive and was ordered back to his cell in an effort to maintain security in the jail unit. According to investigators, Briggs failed to follow multiple verbal commands and had to be escorted back to his cell. Deputies say correction officers tried to walk Briggs to his cell at which point Briggs broke away and hit an officer in the head with a closed fist. Deputies say Briggs' action caused the officer to hit the doorway of the cell, resulting in injuries to his head. Investigators say the officer suffered severe pain, bleeding and discomfort.
Briggs is being held in the Seneca County Correctional Facility to await further court action on a separate case.

Michigan is one of ten states to share in a $95 million grant to help its lowest-performing schools.
The U.S. Department of Education made the announcement on Thursday, as part of its "School Improvement Grants" program. Michigan will get $16,757,681.
"When schools fail, our children and neighborhoods suffer," Education Secretary Arne Duncan said. "Turning around our lowest-performing schools is hard work but it's our responsibility, and represents a tremendous opportunity to improve the life chances of children. We owe it to our children, their families and the broader community. These School Improvement Grants are helping some of the lowest-achieving schools provide a better education for students who need it the most."
Other states sharing in the grant include: Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, Nevada, Oregon and Texas.
