- Not goodduck123Dined on 11/21/2014We have been to Linda before for special occasions but this time we were disappointed. The duck was encased in a foot of batter, the dessert took forever, the curry had a total of 6 shrimps, the mango salad proportion had decreased and after asking that a special message be included for my husbands birthday- the request was ignored. Quite disappointed and will not attend again.
- terrible service, good foodjasey88Dined on 11/15/2014As soon as we walked in nobody was at the hostess stand, but it was behind a big wall so the staff couldn't see us. So we walked further into the restaurant. The bartender saw us but didn't greet us. After waiting a good 5-10 min the hostess finally brought us to our table... She seemed like she didn't want to be there and didn't even apologize for the wait. Once we got tovpur table our server took about 20 minutes to approach us... And that's because we had to finally flag her down. The other people beside us also left because they were waiting for so long. It wasn't even that busy. Terrible service.... But the food was good.Special Features:
- Salty food, poor serviceYuminMytumDined on 11/11/2014A terrible experience. The food was nothing close to the quality of Salad King, even though we had expected something similar with better service for the extra cost. There was one waitress for 20+ tables so getting service was minimal. After requesting extra spicy, a warm plate of really salty basil chicken came out with rice that did not smell or taste of coconut despite its menu description. One who was possibly the chef dropped off the food. I told him I asked for extra spicy and all he said was if I ordered it extra spicy, then it would Be. Tasted it, no spice. When asked, the waitress asked if I wanted some hot sauce... After I said I wanted it brought in to be made spicy, I got it back with little spice and cold. Really disappointing!
- good foodNonicknameDined on 11/8/2014The food was good as usual and i thought the service was great as our waitress was on top of pop drink refills. That is until i got the bill and was charged seperately for each glass. I would recommend this restaurant with a beware lecture. If they are not telling you what is not included in the price with drinks then they must be doing the same with their food! Left a bad taste in my mouth!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place for a Thai brunchDaveDined on 11/8/2014Thai was a brunch menu that's great. Puts a Thai twist on brunch staples (think toast plus a sweet Thai custard spread). Service was attentive. Highly recommanded.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious Curry Dishes!lj33Dined on 11/7/2014I was never curry dish fan until I tried theirs! The Panang Curry with Crisp Beef is to die for!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodnanoNiteDined on 11/7/2014I've been at this location quite a few times now, and have enjoyed their food over and over again. They've changed their menu items around a bit recently, but the waitress kindly alerted me of all the recent changes. The internal decor of the restaurant was great, though the noise level was a tad bit noisy this trip around. I also notice that the decor in the restaurants make the place unsuitable for large groups, as it does feel a bit too crowded. More suitable for 2-4 people dining.Special Features:
- Excellent ServicePepeDined on 11/3/2014A very Happy dinner there and the interior decor is beautiful.Special Features:
- Great Thai restaurantAmazingDined on 11/3/2014This was my second visit to Linda Modern Thai and once again I was not disappointed with the food we received. The only problem was that is was very busy and we had to wait from drinks to dinner quite a long time. The server was great but very busy. Other then that I would recommend this restaurant as a great choice for Thai food.Special Features:
- FoodKay7Dined on 11/1/2014A friend had invited me for dinner, which was my first visit. Since I enjoyed the food, I invited a friend on my second visit but unfortunately, it was not a good experience where the food was concerned. I ordered the Pad Thai because it was great on my first visit. My friend ordered the the lamb. My food was cold and their lamb was tough and tasted bland. However, the ambiance and the service was good.
- Great Cultural FoodICE9Dined on 11/1/2014Second time going to this restaurant because we enjoyed it very much the first time. Couldn't help but order the same dish again, Seafood Coconut Curry, which comes in a full baby coconut. Tastes absolutely delicious & if Linda herself is there, she'll come around & carve out the inside of the coconut after you are done, so you can taste the inside of the coconut. We were 4 ppl, so another order the same as me, but the two other dishes didn't seem to have the right type of noodles stated for that dish. Not sure if it was an error or they ran out, but we didn't say anything because the 2 ppl didn't care too much. Great restaurant nonetheless & the food will not disappoint. Delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thai as it should begeordieDined on 11/1/2014Linda's is a go-to for a fusion of Thai and Toronto. The roots in the Yonge-Dundas "Salad King" have grown in the Don Mills rebirth. While preparing Thai ingredients in a savoury manner, Toronto tastes are not forgotten. A steak in peanut sauce is a welcome alternative to those who are not feeling like they want green curry or pad thai.Special Features:
- Thai Cooking at its bestMachtoDined on 10/29/2014My friend and I had traditional Thai food - pad thai and a bean dish. Both were well presented and delicious. The pad thai was coated in egg, a very different and elegant alternative to normal presentations - even in Thailand. We would definitely go back and try other dishes on the extensive menu.Special Features:
- great place have dinner and drinksdougielovestoeatDined on 10/28/2014Great private booths. food is very good order some apps and a few main courses and do it family style!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not badhuda89Dined on 10/25/2014I wished the food was better and it had more flavour. The last time I went it was much better and I am a loyal customer of Salad King (Sister-company).Special Features:
- Not worth wasting a mealDocFoodieDined on 10/25/2014A real disappointment. Haven't been here for a few years. Menu has changed and the quality of food has gone downhill. In trying to go "higher end" Thai they have completely missed the mark. Deep frying everything does not make it sophisticated. Such a shame...have been going to their original restaurant Salad King for over 20 years.
- Loved the curry!W1ll0wDined on 10/20/2014The Panang shrimp curry was very flavourful and a large portion. When I asked to have a vegetable I can't tolerate left out, I was actually asked which vegetable I'd like them to substitute! Most restaurants either double the cheapest remaining veggie - as in, always onions, which I dislike, or serve less food. Instead, they added excellent broccoli. My companion raved about her taster plate too. On the other hand, $7 for tea is not something I'd spend again no matter high nicely served.Special Features:
- hawthorneDined on 10/12/2014Always enjoy our dining experience here. Like changing menu and opportunity to try new menu items. Had lettuce wraps with pork jowls...romaine lettuce provided....made wraps cumbersome...better with iceberg lettuce. Tofu curry dish was exceptional! Server very informative re: menu items.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just OKRangDined on 10/3/2014My overall impression is the food was good but not great, the same with the service and ambiance. Considering the premium prices being charged the overall value I would rate as fair.Special Features:
- Islamic Noodles were a hit!AymeighDined on 10/2/2014We were greeted by the hostess as soon as we came in and they knew instantly where we were supposed to be seated. The waitress was very friendly and knew her menu well. Recommended the Islamic Noodles, which ended up being the most delicious Thai noodles I've ever had. It was plentiful but not heavy. I will definitely be coming back for more! The restaurant owner also came by and greeted us, which was a nice surprise. That rarely happens. All in all, a very enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend it for groups of friends, family gatherings, and even romantic dates!Special Features:
- StefanDined on 9/29/2014Skip the rather average and over-priced appetizers. The pad thai and the grilled fish in banana leaf with red curry was delicious. The service was rather mediocre. Additional charges were explained only when the waitress presented the bill.Special Features:
- Great food and atmosphereYummyThaiDined on 9/14/2014If you love Thai this is the place! Food is outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceNikkiDined on 8/26/2014I am a Thai food lover and really this place makes it amazing! Good portions and delicious taste.Special Features:
- How things have changed!girlsniteoutDined on 8/26/2014My favourite dish of curry fish wasn't on menu any more. The flavor of the three mains we ordered weren't impressive. There were pre teens running around and we paid $7 each for jasmine tea, which was very weak and lack flavor. I had to ask for more tea leaves to be added to the pot. Even the 4 flavours of tropical ice cream was disappointing. I requested a quiet table and we were seated in the middle of the restaurant. Need to put that something, something back to what it used to be.
- Absolutely wonderful.ate2muchDined on 8/20/2014Had a great time. The food was excellent, as was the service and staff.
- Delicious Food, Unfriendly StaffLuv2DineMomDined on 8/2/2014My husband and I brought our 3-year-old for a quick lunch this past weekend. The girl who served us was accommodating to check the kitchen for us to see if they could serve us a dish that only appears on their dinner menu (which they did and we really appreciated it). The whole experience was quite nice, until my 3-year-old was getting bored and started to bang his cutlery on the sculpture next to him. We were quietly stopping him while one of their staff came over and said "please him to stop". While I was about to apologize, he added "because it is very expensive". This really threw me aback, as if the value of the sculpture would make a difference of common etiquette. I truly think that he could be more tactful than this.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 533 reviews are from the Linda Modern Thai FKA Linda Restaurant reviews archive.
- NickRevDined on 7/30/2014We have come to expect Linda's to be welcoming with a quiet ambience and an interesting menu. The background music was well chosen although a little loud in the early evening. We like to bring guests here because of the variety in the menu. The sense of privacy at the table is very appealing. The attention of our table attendant (Victoria) was much appreciated.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- noise factor hugelillianDined on 7/26/2014I have been to Linda Thai for lunch and it has been fine. Dinner was another story. It was so loud that we just wanted to eat our food and get out as soon as we could! The food is delicious and the service was okay.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wow AHmazing!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/22/2014Blown away! I wasn't expecting the restaurant that I walked into at all. Fabulous service, mouth-watering food and the decor was stunning.Special Features:
- Summerlicious 2014MaryDined on 7/20/2014The ambiance and the service of the restaurant was great. From all the Thai restaurants I've been to, I'm disappointed with the food. For starters, the Soup tasted like water and the quinoa rice with roasted duck looked like fried rice. For dessert, they served mango with sticky rice and the serving size is small.Special Features:
- Great Food, good experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/20/2014We went to Summerlicious at Linda Modern Thai for dinner. It was a wonderful treat. We ordered the cold rolls and the Tom Yum Goong (hot and sour shrimp soup) as appetizers. The appetizers were small but it was a good start to keep up ready for our meal coming up. My friend ordered the King Oyster Mushroom with Basil Sauce. He said it was delicious. I ordered the Golden Curry with Shrimp and man was that ever an experience! It was so delicious that I was glad to have leftovers to take home. It was flavourful and comforting.Our desserts were Khanom Buang and the Mango Sticky Rice, small portions and just okay. The service was attentive and checked in with us regularly. We would definitely go back even if it wasn't for Summer/Winterlicious.Special Features:
- Awesome foodOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/20/2014The ambience was really nice, the decor is beautiful. The food is amazing, especially their beef panang curry. Price is definitely reasonable for the quality that they serve, definitely a neighbourhood gem for those living in the eglinton don mills area who are looking for good thai food!Special Features:
- Great Thai foodlove2exploreDined on 7/20/2014This was my first at Linda and I didn't get disappointed with it. Will go back again if I am in the area and will try their other dishes. I jist love their Quinoa fried rice with smoked duck!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExperienceFoodyfoodreviewDined on 7/19/2014Is was expecting a lot more from this reataurant bc i read online that it was four stars. I rate it two bc the wait time for each meal was 15-20 mins, Though the server was nice. The food portions were ridiculously small other than the entree. The dessert was a quarter size of my palm. Never again coming even if it was free.Special Features:
- Surprisingly goodRon987Dined on 7/19/2014I don't expect much during licious dining, so I was very impressed by the quality of food that was served when I went Linda. The sui mai is better than any I've had in the city and the beef panang was so good. Love how a fork-tender piece of meat is deep-fried to create a crispy shell and then have it served in a sea of rich, fragrant curry. I would definitely return to eat that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ceano2kDined on 7/19/2014Main courses were very good, deserts need improvement. Service was not bad, nothing breath taking.
- DisappointingDina4dinerDined on 7/18/2014The dinner started at 5 pm and the signature appertizer dish is already sold out. One of the reason I booked dinner and not lunch is because the particular dish is only available during dinner summerlicous menu. If you never been to Thailand and never tried authentic Thai food, this place is for you! The decor and atmosphere is great but the food sadly not worth a try!
- SilverButtonDined on 7/18/2014Atmoshphere and service are impeccable. The crispy beef Panang was really flavourful and you can tell they use fresh and authentic ingredients in their curry base. Definitely going back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- luvthaiDined on 7/17/2014The summerliscious menu was interesting. First course portions were very small. The chicken satay was rather dry. Beef dish was very good. The vegetable dish was not such a good choice since veggies were scarce and we had asmany of them in the beef dish.
- summerlicious experiencebertDined on 7/17/2014I've been meaning to visit this restaurant for a while now. Initially, I was not impressed with the host. My dining partner and I had a reservation for 1:30 and as I was waiting for the host to return from seating previously arrived guests there were 3 more patrons that entered without a reservation as I noted while they spoke. The problem is that the host completely disregarded me as i waited next in line and instead took these patrons without a reservations even though they arrived 5-10 mins after I did. I felt this was quite unfair!! Our lunch service was longer than an hour even though the restaurant was not full. A disappointing first experience. The owners need to pay attention to guests and be fair to seating them in order.

November 26, 2014
St. Paul, Minn. (AP) Though the schedule is being reworked, things are mostly getting back to normal today at the Republican convention.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was scheduled to give the keynote address tonight, but former Senator Fred Thompson and Senator Joe Lieberman will speak instead.
Lieberman tells CNN he isn't going to attack Barack Obama, but instead he'll explain why he's "an independent democrat voting for senator McCain."
White House officials say there's also a possibility President Bush will address the convention from Washington. But a spokeswoman says whether that'll happen tonight hasn't been determined yet.
Exactly what Bush's role will be appears to rest with the McCain campaign.

The dress is so comfortable plus the fabric and quality is really good. So in general I am satisfied with my purchase.
�The minute I opened my box and took the dress out, I was blown away by its quality. Great job!
My package arrived today and I love it! Many many many thanks to SimplyBridal for making my dress.
Cool dress� the dress really seems as if tailored by experts, which i am sure it is! Im really tall and the dress seemed a bit short but what the hell, I got a good pair of legs, no problem in showing them off : D one shouldered top looked sexy too and the dress fit in all the right places ;) fabrics awesome, sash enhanced my hourglass figure � my fianc� (husband now :P) loved it too!
A real clean-cut dress.it has no ruffles and is pretty simpel, just the way I like it. one shoulder neck line is awesome and the fabrics good quality taffeta, the sash was okay but I really loved the tailoring, it was superb.
I have found my go to dress, and I am sure I will look stunning at my cousins wedding. The dress is so beautiful and simple that I find it difficult to even begin to put in to words what I love about it. All I know it that with the fit and cut I look va va voom.
I ordered a dress for my daughters wedding and I love it. It is very simple and elegant for a mother of the bride and it does not make me appear frumpy.
I got my dress this evening and it looks very very nice. I'll definitely get another dress from SimplyBridal.
Every bride gets compliments at their vow renewal, why wouldn't she? But I honestly think in this dress the ones coming my way are going to be one hundred percent honest. This dress arrived on time and has an excellent cut. Thank you SimplyBridal.

I have a gps about a year old. I got her at the pound. The pound thought she might be crossed with a hound because she has more of a howl than a bark. My problem is that she howls when left alone. Even if she can see me. How should a start to train her to lose that habit? I have had her for about a week. She has had no other training. I'm working on leash and house training.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

PHILLY suggestions good food AND good local beer
- b
- beerlovingmom Aug 6, 2009 07:22 AM
I'm headed to Philadelphia and am searching for relatively casual dinner places with moderate to high prices and a selection of local beers on tap. I love good food and good craft beers. I will have my 5 and 11 year old children, but have no problem bringing them to restaurants that aren't necessarily considered "kid-friendly" (ie. Planet Hollywood and other yicky chains). We are staying downtown -- a few nights in the Sheraton in Society Hill and a few nights at the Windsor Suite near Logan Square.
Phila is big on gastropubs and has a great local beer scene. Try Standard Tap, Pub and Kitchen, Royal Tavern, the Ugly American, N Third (north third), Monks, Good Dog, to name a few. A Search of this board for gastropub yields many results. Search for local beer will do the same. Enjoy!
re: Bigley9
This sounds great! I love gastropubs! I'm super limited on my research time -- could you let me know which of these suggestions are in downtown, or an easy public transportation trip from downtown. We will not have a car. THANKS!
re: beerlovingmom
Standard Tap and N Third are in Northern Liberties - 2nd street and 3rd streets respectively, about 1 mile north of the sheraton Society Hill, Pub and Kitchen is 19th and Lombard, Good Dog is 15th and Samson and Monk's is 16th and Spruce - all three probably about a half mile from the Windsor Suites. Royal tavern is at 7th, Carpenter St and Passyunk Ave in Bella Vista - probably about 1 mile from the sheraton - and near the Italian Market which can be a fun foodie stroll (9th st between christian and Federal). The Ugly American is on front street (that would be first street if you know our grid) and is about a mile due south of the Sheraton. So, most of these are walkable, especially if you are being tourists in between, although there is a "gap" of boring-ness heading north to Northern liberties (not unsafe in any way tho). All of them are simple inexpensive cab rides.
re: Bigley9
thanks again! Do you know which allow children? I'm especially interested in the Pub and Kitchen and Good Dog.
re: beerlovingmom
none of these "bar" children, Good Dog has an upstairs dining room so you wouldn't have to sit in the bar room and Pub and Kitchen has outdoor seating as well. I wouldn't take children to either at 10 on a Friday! We allow no smoking in Phila so most of our gastro pubs accommodate children well
GREAT BELGIUM & many many others - many - and excellent food: Monks Cafe, center city, Monks Belgian Cafe. reasonable proces. Mussels are outacontrol.

off the beaten path - Yards in Manayunk
re: harpzzz
Yards hasn't been located in Manayunk for years and years.
the dark horse pub in head house square (2nd and south st.) real near your first hotel. great food good beer selection. nice bar. I used to bring my newborn their all the time when I lived in society hill.
re: beerlovingmom
Assuming that by brewpub you mean a pub that brews its own beer, there aren't any excellent ones in the city. Not far from your hotel in society hill (as rocknroll52 mentioned) is Triumph, their beers are decent but nothing extraordinary. Ditto Nodding Head (I haven't been there in a while but have always been underwhelmed by their house beers). Yards is probably the city's best brewery. They don't have a brewpub on premises that serves their beer, but you can get it at lots of bars in the city. Dock Street makes some good beers (and some not so good), but they're located far away from where you'll be. Another place that brews their own is Earth, Bread, and Brewery. I've never been there but the brewmaster's previous brewery was Heavyweight, their beers were great so I suspect EBB's are too. Like Dock Street, it's too far away unless you want to take a cab, and even that would be pricey.
Philadelphia Brewing Company (formed by the former owners of the Yards brewery, but not the brewer of Yards) makes quite a few slightly above-average beers that can be had at many places around the city.
Some excellent local brewers that can be found on tap all over the city include Victory (Downingtown, PA), Stoudts (Adamstown, PA), Dogfish Head (Lewes, DE), Legacy (Reading, PA), Troegs (Harrisburg, PA), probably one or two others I'm forgetting.
re: Buckethead
Great detailed nfo Buckethead -- thanks! Could you direct me to a few of your favorite establishments with some of the local beers you mention on tap AND good food AND allows children AND a walk or easy public transportation from where we'll be staying. THANKS !!!!
re: beerlovingmom
The place you want to go to is Standard Tap. They only serve local draft beers and the food is great. It's accessible via public trans but not super close to the stop so not so easy for a visitor. Take a cab (will be $10 max), you won't be disappointed.
re: barryg
Definitely don't try to walk to the Standard Tap, as mentioned above. I believe they have a rooftop deck. The food is very good. worth a cab ride.
Earth Bread & Brewery is very suitable for kids and accessible by train, I think, but really it's kind of far out of the way. They serve flatbread pizzas, if that appeals to you. They have both house brewed beers and local guest beers.
The above options are great but not so convenient.
Another place that hasn't been mentioned is Bridgid's in Fairmount. A bit of a long walk from the Windsor Suites, but you could also cab it. A neighborhood haunt with a good selection of local beers and food.
I don't think you'll really go wrong with any of the suggested places, there's really no best one. Have a good time and report back!
re: rocknroll52
"The place you want to go to is Standard Tap"
Yes, yes, yes.
Based on your original post, this is absolutely the first place to go.
It's not super-close to your hotel, but the beer selection is great and local, the food is understated but superb and it is kid-friendly.
So I've been ruminaiting on this and thinking, Fork at 3rd and Market and Southwark at fourth and bainbridge....very good food and a pretty great beer rotation
I'd recommend Eulogy Tavern on 136 Chestnut Street. It has very good mussels, fries, and burgers, and an awesome beer selection both draft and bottle. I just went there last night and definitely enjoyed myself.
I'd agree that Royal Tavern is a nice (20 minute?) walk from the Sheraton, and Good Dog would be a short walk from Logan Square. In West Philly there IS Dock Street Brewery. Fabulous pizza and they brew their own. You'd probably want to drive/cab, but you could also take the 34 trolley (Green Line) from city hall to 50th street. Standard Tap is really yummy if you're headed up that way, but it is kind of far from both of your hotels.
re: hollyd
Are you kidding? Standard Tap is 3 miles closer to the Sheraton than Dock St--it's only 2 miles away. I agree it is not a pretty walk but it's a less than $10 cab ride. Probably $10 from Logan Square.
Of all the places listed, Standard Tap is only place where the food has been consistently as good and interesting as the beer. Sure, Good Dog and Royal Tavern have great burgers but I've had excellent elk steaks, soft shell crabs, and goat curries at Standard Tap.
re: barryg
I only included Dock St. because it's a brewery. The bars I listed are all walking distance.
Beneluxx, while not "local" focused, has a fabulous selection and would be walkable from society hill, is near indepndence square, and fun for kids (chocolate fondue). http://www.beneluxx.com/#
Some of the other places listed in Old City--National Mechanics (it's definitely a bar, but fine for kids in the day, not sure about night) and Triumph Brewing Company (never been there, but probably the same)--are both in areas that would be walkable for kids from the Sheraton since they are full of sites and parks to rest in. Also from there you can go to the Irish memoral and the parks on the river.
Logan Square is harder for me to think of anything unique. Honestly, Philly is such a beertown most bars have a good selection. Pub and Kitchen would be a bit of a walk from there but you can stop and rest the kids in Rittenhouse Square Park.
Personally, judging from your description of your time constraints, etc., I wouldn't go to NoLib unless it was a real destination for you. You defintely don't want to walk kids that far and there's not much else to do there.
I wouldn't take kids to Good Dog or some of the other places listed after 5PM -- unless they have outdoor seating. I love GD, but ... as an adult there are bars I go to for them to be bars--crowded, noisy, sexy, drunken, not places I want to trip over kids--it's bad enough tripping over the 20-somethings. This is not figurative tripping either--the upstairs gets as crowded as down in my experience.
re: feklar42
Logan Square: Kite and Key! Callowhill and 19th. Just thought of that.
Devil's Den at 11th and Elsworth has a great beer selection and generally good food - probably a taxi from either of your locations. They do half-price drafts for happy hour.
Also would second Monks, always a good bet for the beer lover.
Have not tried it, but we also have Brauhaus Schmidts (sp?) on South and 7th, the new beer garten.. would be walking distance from society hill.

November 23, 2014
CABELL COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A lightning strike was believed to be responsible Tuesday evening for a small fire at a church in Barboursville, and more than 5,000 Cabell County residents were without power as of 9:15 p.m., according to American Electric Power's website.
The utility room fire started just before 8 p.m. Tuesday at Steele Memorial United Methodist Church in the 700 block of Shaw Street in Barboursville, firefighters tell WSAZ.com. They believe a nearby lightning strike was responsible, causing a power surge to the church's air conditioning units.
At the time, there were people inside having a prayer meeting. The parishioners smelled the smoke and called firefighters.
WSAZ.com Chief Meteorologist Tony Cavalier reported multiple cloud-to-ground lightning strikes with some of the storms that passed through the area.
As of 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, AEP reports the following outages in West Virginia:

Post-game breakdown: Bryant University
Here's your post-game breakdown of UConn's 66-53 season-opening victory over Bryant University:
Some UConn men's basketball news to pass along:
-- Judging from the buzz on Twitter, UConn is the running for now former North Carolina State guard Rodney Purvis, who announced Monday that he is transferring after just one season with the Wolfpack.
Here's what former N.C.State standout Julius Hodge tweeted on Monday:
"I'm salty that we didn't do everything to keep RP! But if he's going to #UConn that's a good choice. Kevin Ollie's a star on the rise."
Purvis averaged 8.3 points and 2.4 rebounds while starting 23 of 35 games, averaging 25.5 minutes per game, but his playing time tailed off toward the end of the season. He shot 44.2 percent from the field and ranked second on the team in made 3-pointers with 30. He had 45 assists and 51 turnovers.
He came off the bench to score seven points in his team's 69-65 win over UConn on Dec. 4 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
"I have enjoyed every moment of my time here at N.C.State," Purvis said in a released statement. "All of the people involved with the program have been great. However, I feel like it's time for me to make a fresh start, step outside of my comfort zone and continue my career in a new environment."
Here's what coach Mark Gottfried said in a release: "Rodney was instrumental in our run to the NCAA tournament this season. We appreciate his contributions and wish him the very best in his future."
Purvis will have to transfer to a program outside of the Atlantic Coast Conference, as the school will not allow Purvis to remain in conference. The ban extends to Syracuse,Pittsburgh, Notre Dame andLouisville– four future ACC teams – as well as Missouri and Cincinnati, two future non-conference foes.
Purvis attended Upper Room Christian Academy in Raleigh, N.C., earning McDonald's All-American and 2012 Associated Press North Carolina Men's Prep Basketball Player of the Year honors. He averaged 26.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists.
He originally committed to Louisville before going to N.C. State.
-- UConn guard Omar Calhoun was one of 21 Division I freshmen selected to the Collegeinsider.com's 2013 Kyle Macy Freshmen All-America Team.
Calhoun averaged 11.1 points and 3.9 rebounds while starting every game but the regular season finale due to a sprained right wrist. He was second on the team in converted three-pointers with 43.
The winner of the Macy Award will be announced on April 5 at the Final Four inAtlanta.
Other candidates: Kyle Anderson (UCLA), Ryan Arcidiacono (Villanova), Anthony Bennett (UNLV), Sim Bhullar (New Mexico State), John Brown (High Point), Jahii Carson (Arizona State), Semaj Christon (Xavier), Damyean Dotson (Oregon), Olivier Hanlan (Boston College), Gary Harris (Michigan State), Danuel House (Houston), R.J. Hunter (Georgia State), Ben McLemore (Kansas), Shabazz Muhammad (UCLA), Nerlens Noel (Kentucky), Marcus Paige (North Carolina), Glenn Robinson III (Michigan), JaKarr Sampson (St. John's), Marcus Smart (Oklahoma State) and D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera (Georgetown).
-- According to the Washington Post, Maryland and UConn will play a season-opening game on Nov. 8 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
It will be the sixth meeting between the two programs. The Huskies lead the series, 3-2, but lost the last two meetings.
They last met in 2002, with Maryland posting a 90-82 win in an NCAA tournament Elite Eight game in Syracuse.
Here's your post-game breakdown of UConn's 66-53 season-opening victory over Bryant University:
College basketball season is finally here.
Redshirt sophomore Rodney Purvis has been suspended for UConn's season opener against Bryant University on Friday.
UConn coach Kevin Ollie talked about the state of the Huskies during a Puerto Rico Tip-Off conference call on Wednesday morning.
Some notes, quotes and observations from UConn's exhibition opener:
UConn's starting lineup for tonight's men's basketball exhibition opener is out.
UConn's status as defending national champion apparently carries some weight.
UConn junior Omar Calhoun suffered an injury to his right knee during practice on Sunday.
Before First Night festivities started today, UConn dedicated its $39 million basketball facility located next to Gampel Pavilion.
Jim Calhoun may be retired from coaching.But he'll never entirely leave the spotlight.
UConn received a verbal commitment from 6-foot-10 power forward Steven Enoch of Norwalk on Saturday night.
Jim Calhoun has never been at a loss for words.That's a good thing when you're a television anaylst.
UConn's toughest opponent this season may be jet lag.The defending national champions will be traveling all over the country.

I am stuck... I am about to bottle 5 gallons of English pale ale and I can't figure out how much to use for priming...
I am going for 1.5 volumes of C02, but I can't tell if I am reading this priming sugar calculator I have handy... Its telling me to use less than an ounce of cane sugar to prime 5 gallons? What?
It is going to bottle condition at about 70 degrees F...
Anyone have an idea on how much cane sugar I should use to achieve C02 volume of 1.5 and does anyone know what I am doing wrong on that calculator? Should I be putting temperatures that I will beserving the beer at as opposed to condtiioning?
I'm not an expert on that style, but 1.5 volumes sounds too low to me. Plug in 2.5 Volumes and see what you come up with. My guess is between 4-4.5ozs. GL
First Brew was thanksgiving 2011, I'm at 103 batches and counting (as of 11/11/2014), and ran out of room in my signature to list them all.
Yip, 1.5 volumes are going to be disapointing!!! for 5 gallons, less would be like 80g and more +/- 115g, i normaly just eyeball it @ 100g or so!

This is a large, private property, located in the center of the small resort village of Cabo Pulmo, just steps away from the dive shop, the beach, and all the restaurants.
The nearest beach is a calm one, quite suitable for children and marvelous for a dip at the beginning or the end of the day. It is only a 2-minute walk from the house. There are numerous other beaches within a short drive north or south of Cabo Pulmo.
The house is surrounded by a half-acre garden that offers privacy, beautiful views and abundant birds and wildlife. A solid, 6 foot privacy fence encloses the house and garden.
There is internet at the house suitable for email and surfing the web, a great sound system, and a library of DVD's.
The best way to check availability is by dropping us an email. We'll reply as soon as possible! We're also available by phone. We'd love a chance to chat with you about the property, Cabo Pulmo, and Baja in general.
We welcome you to our one-of-a-kind gem, hidden away in a little corner of Mexico.
Scott & Janning Kennedy
P.S. A hearty 'thank you' to Bruce Lyon, who visited with his family in 2013, for the beautiful bird photos he allowed us to use!

About Janning Kennedy
My husband and I both work in agriculture. He is involved with vegetable seed production and I with organic certification. We raised our family Monterey/Salinas area of California, and currently live and work in Chile.
Janning Kennedy purchased this house in 2006
Why Janning Kennedy chose Cabo Pulmo
You have to see it to believe how special this place is. It is the most appealing, most comfortable place we've ever been. There's world-class surfing for my husband and a huge, beautiful, native garden for me. It's everything we could want. The house is both artful and designed for comfort. It's like living outdoors, only with all the comforts of a modern home. It's simply perfect.
What makes this house unique
We both love Mexico, especially the Baja, for its wonderful people, warm oceans and beautiful landscapes. When we crest the hill overlooking Cabo Pulmo we are looking down on our dream home. As we enter the property, we let go of pressures and stress, take a deep breath, and just relax. It is the perfect home: beautiful but unpretentious, warm, unique, and inviting. We love sitting on the porch and identifying birds and wildlife in the garden, and going up to the roof to watch the brilliant stars at night. We think you'll find it one of your favorite places on earth, and want to return again and again, just like we do.

With the passing of the summer months, most of us all ask "Where did the summer go?" It certainly is a short season but a very active one with so many events and fun things to do but the next thing you know, it is over! With some nice weather in September, we can extend all of our outdoor activities while enjoying the changing colors of the foliage. This is truly a beautiful time of year while also being peaceful and relaxing. Getting up into the mountains by hiking, biking or by vehicle is a must to witness the beauty of the fall. Please join us and see what we are talking about. We have our fall promotional special going. If you pay for three nights you will receive the fourth night free! We all love a free night. The annual Ruggerfest weekend is September 18-21, the Golden Leaf Half Marathon is September 27 and the Aspen Filmfest begins September 26 to October 1.
We are getting calls daily from guests pumped up for the upcoming winter season. We haven't seen snow yet in Aspen which is fine with us. But we know it won't be long and we will be getting out the warmer clothes and looking ahead to another great season on one of our four great mountains. We have a winter special going as well that you must take advantage of. Reserve your space with us before November 1 and receive 15% off regular rates!

What's New, What's Hot is Travel Weekly's look at useful and fun travel gadgets, edited by Joe Rosen. First up is the Optrix PhotoProX iPhone 5 case. Perfect for the traveling photographer, this waterproof and drop-proof housing offer four interchangeable lenses to fit virtually all photographic contingencies: macro, telephoto, fisheye and flat (for underwater photography). A case leash, lens cloth and padded lens case complete the picture.
The Chick on the Go Travel Kit comprises a clutch-size case that opens into a garment bag containing five garments and two accessories that can be mixed and matched to create 25 different outfits. The five garments are a black wide-leg pant; a black slip dress; an off-white, long sleeve V-neck shirt; an off-white tank top; and a black poncho that can be worn as a shirt or a skirt. Also included: a black sash and an off-white sash, both of which can be used as a belt, scarf or a headband. Sorry men, nothing for you ... yet.
Another get-about-with-less travel accoutrement, the Same Sky Hope Necklace can easily sport six different looks: a long necklace; a knot necklace; a bold, multi-loop bracelet; a "choker," with two closely wound strands fitting around a neck; a looped belt; and a layered necklace with two loosely wound strands around the neck. The 38- to 39-inch necklaces, which are hand-crocheted in Rwanda, feature hand-blown glass beads, smaller seed beads, a non-stretch cord and a magnetic closure.
This sturdy bag is an eye-catcher, employing for its colorful look the works of artists engaged by Sakroots to create prints that are "laid back, cheerful and fun." This duffel, measuring 24 by 7 by 15 inches, comes equipped with an adjustable and removable cross-body strap; a zippered back pocket; and three interior pockets, one of them zippered. The top is a soft canvas, while the bottom is a coated canvass. Weighing only one pound, it is versatile enough to be used as an overnighter or even a capacious gym bag.
This personal cooling kit, small enough for dealing with heat waves, tired feet, pain, muscle strains and hot flashes while you're on the go, stays cold for up to 12 hours. Moreover, the soft, cooling, palm-size gel packs stored in the Coldfront case can be cooled again by replacing them in the case for 20 minutes. The product, incidentally, is TSA-approved for travel when in its frozen state.
