Authorities say an Omaha man has died after a train hit his sport utility vehicle near the eastern Nebraska city of Schuyler.
According to reports a westbound Union Pacific train pulling loaded grain cars hit the SUV Saturday morning at a crossing just west of Schuyler.
The Colfax County Attorney's Office identified the motorist as 47-year-old John Eastwood. He was pronounced dead at a Schuyler hospital about an hour after the crash.
Initial reports were that the crossing gates, lights and bells were functioning properly.

Tony Abreu singled home the go-ahead run in the 12th inning, and the Kansas City Royals completed their comeback from a six-run deficit by beating the Boston Red Sox 10-9 on Saturday night.
Just a few hours after Boston traded scheduled starter Josh Beckett to the Dodgers along with Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Nick Punto, the Royals scored three runs before substitute starter Aaron Cook got a single out. The Red Sox took a 9-3 lead after four innings lead thanks to four hits from Gonzalez's replacement, Mauro Gomez, including his first major league homer.
The Royals made it 9-all with six runs in the seventh -- all of them with two outs, including a game-tying, two-run triple by Mike Moustakas that was his first hit in 19 at-bats.

LONDON (AP) - Musician Gary Barlow and his wife Dawn say their daughter was stillborn, and are asking for privacy.
In a statement released Monday, the couple said they were devastated by the loss of Poppy Barlow, who was delivered stillborn on Saturday.
They said their focus is "on giving her a beautiful funeral and loving our three children with all our hearts."
They also said, " We'd ask at this painful time that our privacy be respected."
The couple have a son and two daughters.
Barlow, a member of Take That and judge of TV talent show "The X Factor," was organizer of June's huge Buckingham Palace concert celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee.
Take That had been rumored to be among the acts performing at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics on Sunday.

About Sandra
I am a business owner, a mom and a former art director in the film industry. I love Ventura and all it has to offer in the way of daytime adventure and nature, nightlife and art. Forbes magazine lists Ventura as one of the top four places to live in the U.S.! I agree. I have been surprised and pleased with the lovely guests we have had to enjoy the space.
Sandra purchased this cottage in 2005
Why Sandra chose Ventura
Just one hour North of Hollywood, one half hour South of Santa Barbara, and twenty minutes West of Ojai, we have the best of the ocean, the city and the mountains right here and a quick hop away. Pets are also welcome in the cottage. Securely fenced and ready to roam, the large garden and wild lower yard are, as recent guests described it, 'Dog Heaven'.
What makes this cottage unique
The treehouse is lovely, completely wired and heated.
It is perfect for naps or for foot-sturdy adults/ children to sleep in (steps are steep).
Best view on the property of the green, untouched mountains to our North.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Thank you for the oasis you provided here for us. The little touches, the secluded forested feel, the sound of the birds and fountain at sunrise - all contributed to the complete vacation we were seeking. The nap I took in the treehouse one afternoon will stay with me until next time we visit. So tranquil! Thank you, Sandra. We are already looking forward to next Fall here in beautiful, friendly Ventura at the cottage.

This week, Peter Greenberg Worldwide broadcasts from all-new The Peninsula Paris, but don't let "new" fool you—The Peninsula Paris is located in a late 19th century classic Haussmanian building, which first opened as one of Paris' most luxurious "grands hotels" in 1908. It's been a hospital, a military headquarters and the hotel that inspired George Gershwin to write An American in Paris. The hotel has all the amazing (and expected) Peninsula touches, a great Chinese restaurant, and a real bonus: one of the greatest hotel rooftop bars in the world. From there, you can see every major Paris monument. Impressive by day….spectacular at night. Like my other favorite hotel, the Peninsula in Shanghai, the Paris version does it right.

Travel Today: Marker Hotel - Dublin, Ireland
Located on the banks of the Liffey River in Dublin, the Marker Hotel sits steps away from many historic sites in Dublin—The Bord Gáis Energy Theater, Trinity College Dublin and The Convention Center Dublin. The Marker Hotel is part of Dublin's Docklands, an area that has undergone significant restoration and rehabilitation. Once important because of the goods that were shipped in and out, the newly-nicknamed "Silicon Docks" is significant for housing tech giants Google and Facebook. And in keeping with the theme of development and reinvention, The Marker Hotel Dublin is a brand new hotel that lives up to the dynamic reputation area of its location.

An incredible indictment of the pharaceutical industry by a muckraking British doctor. [An outstanding book to read concurrently or after this book is Morbid Symptoms, from the Socialist Register; subtitled, Health Under Capitalism.]

Video of the BMW 1M coupe making runs against the E92 M3, E36 M3 and the Z4 M coupe. See video inside for results.
If you want to fast forward, the comparisons are at the following times:
1M vs Manual E92 M3 – 1:06 mins
1M vs E36 M3 – 1:55 mins
1M vs Z4 M Coupe – 3:52 mins
It was bound to happen, but we didn't expect to see a 1M accident this soon. This 1 of only 80 BMW 1M coupes total (and first delivered in country) for the Korean market was recently involved in an accident. What's worse is the car belongs to 1addicts member eztonyc.
The damage will require some moderate bodywork, but it hopefully does not have any substantial frame damage. With worldwide 1M production numbers being only in the low thousands at most, it would be a real shame … CONTINUED
1addicts member and photographer TOMiRRi has an affinity for shooting the BMW 1M apparently as this is his second photo shoot (he previously photographed a black 1M). He only needs to shoot an Alpine White 1M in order to complete the trifecta, and we look forward to seeing that.
And yet another great 1M delivery experience, this time at the BMW Performance Center. 1addicts member carchrism5 shares his 1M journey with us – from ordering to the PCD finale. Experience it vicariously through his images and words inside.

Kelleners Sport has come to market with the first full BMW 1M performance and aerodynamic program, dubbed the "KS-1S". The 1M already had plenty of show and go, but Kelleners 1M kit has put its touches on each aspect. Highlights:
KS Power SW bumps output up to 410hp and 405lb-ft torque
Weight to power ratio drops from 4.4 (factory) to 3.8 kg per hp
Kelleners Sport rear silencers with four 83 mm tail pipes
Right out of the gates InsideLine goes for the jugular and lets the readers know their overall opinion of the car. "The 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe is a fantastically compelling machine. It is fast — faster in real-world terms than the M3 on most roads." And that is the basis for the rest of the article, which is filled with praise after praise.
Edmunds states what we know, the power doesn't match up to the M3, however the massive torque figure makes up for the … CONTINUED
Here are the best photos yet of the 1M coupe in alpine white! The car is currently on display in the Netherlands at a BMW dealer. Enjoy!
This will go down as the first officially released photo of the 1M in Alpine White. I'm sure there are more to come, but for now its just this single, but the 1M does sit confidently next to the hardcore BMW M3 GTS in the M family.
Here are the first photos ever of the 1M coupe in Alpine White. Quite a beauty we must say! The Valencia Orange of the 1M coupe used in BMWs marketing materials was often polarizing, so this color should sit a lot better with most fans.
BMW has posted some new footage of the 1-series M coupe – a behind the scenes look into a photoshoot from this past summer. View inside.
We bring you the first extensive video footage of the 1M coupe, in over 11 unedited minutes of the newest M car, including footage of start up, acceleration, revving, handling, and track footage. A nice bonus is footage of the 1M coupe running on the track with its spiritual forefather – the E30 M3.
While we're all still drooling over the unveiling of the 1-Series M Coupe, some might wonder how it will fare against what will possibly be its biggest rival – the Audi RS3. We can already hear some moaning 'coupe vs hatchback, RWD vs AWD and manual vs double clutch' to stress both cars aren't even rivals, but look at the specs to see that both a pretty close in power, size and price. Enough said, here it is, all pictures and information you need to make … CONTINUED

Photos and Description of this 7 bedroom holiday villa in Benalmadena - Villa Acuario
One storey villa and guesthouse set in flat, large, tropical and mature gardens
The urbanisation is one of the oldest on the Costa del Sol which means the plots are large and the gardens mature. The area is very quiet and peaceful. We have planted several hundred roses over the last 20 years and there are various types of tropical plants and citrus trees, leaving you free to pick a lemon for your evening drink! The (fenced in) pool is unusually large for a private house and measures 16x8 metres. There is a slide as well as a diving board.The villa has French doors in all rooms facing the expansive, flat lawns, making this a very easy and comfortable way to live. There are several seating areas, both in shade and sun and two roofed areas for dining, one by the pool and the other overlooking the sea. There is a football goal, table tennis a basketball hoop and a wooden playhouse. We leave toys in the house.We have a barbecue area with a gas bbq which is perfect for easy dinners by the pool. This property is available throughout the year. Because of the two separate houses, it is perfect for larger families, grandparents or friends. Benalmadena Pueblo is a few minutes up the road and has a surprising amount of very good restaurants. We also have very good friends who are paella experts! They can come to the house for some catering at home. Please feel free to call me for any further information!

In Russia KPMG now has offices in Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Kazan, Krasnoyarsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Perm and Rostov-on-Don. We also have offices in 6 CIS countries. In Russia and the CIS KPMG now employs together over 3,800 people.
The KPMG CIS Transparency Report for the year ended 30 September 2013 allows clear articulation of the steps that we take to uphold our professional obligations and responsibilities and make sure our services are consistently of the very highest quality.
With the effectiveness of corporate reporting under the spotlight in the wake of the financial crisis, KPMG has published a new report which brings together a range of leaders in their field discussing the direction that reporting needs to take.
This survey captures the views of approximately 1,800 audit committee members in 21 countries on issues that create challenges for audit committees and indentifies international trends and provides data for specific countries (including Russia).
Survey confirms that the rising economic power of the emerging markets remains the overriding force for growth over the next decade.
We hope that this publication serves as a useful resource for both existing users of IFRS and FDCG companies seeking to understand the potential impact of adopting IFRS.
KPMG has conducted a survey of the impact of the new transfer pricing rules adopted a year ago on the largest Russian and international companies in the oil and gas sector operating in Russia.
Another strong year for M&A in Russia, following 2012's record-breaking performance.
We would like to bring to your attention an opportunity to take part in a 4-week Global Internship Program (GIP) in the U.S.
KPMG has career opportunities both for graduates and students, and also for experienced professionals.
Stay connected with KPMG and with your former colleagues. To keep you informed on KPMG news we publilsh K-Community quarterly on-line digest. We are also happy to hold annual Alumni meetings and offer our Alumni a broad range of career opportunities.
KPMG has been included in Tier 3 of recommended companies in the category "Public-Private Partnership" of the Legal 500 rating, international independent legal guide.
The Legal 500 is the official international rating of law firms, which has been compiled on an annual basis for more than 25 years. According to the publication, its ratings of legal firms are accessed by up to 4 mln individual users a year, including 2.5 mln corporate counsel, in the region of Europe, Middle East and Africa only.
The law firms included in the rating are split into tiers depending on the number and quality of engagements implemented during the reporting period. In particular, firms are assessed based on the scale, complexity and significance of the engagements for their specific sector, and also the value of the transactions and the renown of the lawyers participating in them. Among other things, KPMG was recognized by the Legal 500 thanks to our participation in the PPP project relating to the construction of the highway Western High-Speed Diameter in St. Petersburg (2011), when our colleagues supported a consortium of private investors with the preparation of the tender application.
Natalia Diatlova, Head of Legal at KPMG North-West Regional Center, comments on her team's success: "Our inclusion in the Legal 500 rating implies that we have received a significant recommendation from the global legal community. An absolute majority of clients, when looking for high-quality professional legal services and assessing the reputation and professionalism of different firms, definitely consider as one factor whether a firm is included in the Legal 500 rating. In the case of KPMG, which is not a law firm, inclusion in the list of recommended law firms is a major achievement! We are on the same rung as such major law firms of the Magic Circle as DLA Piper and White & Case LLC, and we are the only Big 4 firm to have been recommended by Legal 500 in the PPP category. This is a great honor for us."
You can take a look at the rating of all the companies recommended by Legal 500 in Russia in the PPP category on the website www.legal500.com.

Teresa Giudice Admits: I Need Helpby Hilton Hater at . Comments
One Real Housewives of New Jersey castmate is done with her.
Another wants her to go to Hell.
No, it's not easy to be Teresa Giudice these days, as the reality star opens up in the latest In Touch Weekly and admits she suffered a breakdown following the Season 4 reunion special.
"After the taping was done, I broke down. I started crying, and I couldn't stop," Teresa tells the tabloid.
Despite apparent evidence to the contrary, meanwhile, Giudice insists she never set out to expose sister-in-law Melissa Gorga as a former stripper.
"I know in my heart I did nothing. I feel like I'm making myself sick over this," she says.
The supposedly Real Housewife also refers to her non-existent bond with her brother as "heartbreaking" and wonders whether fame is to blame for their falling out. Does this mean she's quitting the show?
Of course not.
"I need help," she at least admits. "Everyone is against me and ganging up on me."
For more from Giudice, pick up the new issue of In Touch. It's on newsstands now.
Teresa was set up by producers, and. Cast mates. She walked away when he apoke of melissa at the salon. She stood up for Melissa, and told him not to sspeak about her family. I think all the cast mayes are jealois of teresas success, and they are trying to get the spot light off of her, and onto them. They are jealous haters and they are taking ot too far!!!! I would personally rather see a Tereasa show!!!
This show is becoming an embarassment to women. Andy Cohen could not possibly be more pro Theresa in his role as moderator unless it be printed in the credits. Wow - let the girls be themselves instead of BIG T's show. I will stop watching if it does not change.
For someone as outspoken as Teresa is, how come she didn't speak up and tell that man to get away from their table, knowing full well what the man was up to? Or, better yet, say something immediately to Melissa right at the table about her meeting with that idiot at the salon and what he said to her? She just made amends with her family and should have stood up for them immediately, especially against Kim The Creep, who was obviously behind this whole set-up. And why would anyone want to be envious of Teresa who has more money problems, a cheating husband and a broken family?
All of the Housewives seem to have money problems, not just Teresa. Jacqueline and Melissa are having hugh money problems and may lose everything. Caroline money problems, maybe. Kathy weird how to they earn their living? But to be fair in today's economy who isn't having problems. Why don't we put all of the politicans on a reality show and see if they improve.
Why would someone spend hard earned money
To read a madeup story. Who really cared.
Teresa NEVER liked Melissa. She is soooo jealous of her. Melissa is beautiful, talented, and her husband loves her. Teresa looks like an old racoon, uses her mother's recipes for her cookbooks, and her husband cheats on her. Get real. If they were to do a show about this family I for one would not watch it. We already have Honey Boo Boo on. Teresa NEVER assume responsibility for ANYTHING. She got what she deserved by everyone else on the show. They are sick of her lies and deception.
I feel sorry for Theresa. Absolutely 100 percent belive theresa didnt set up melissa. It was kim and whover potentially else. Kim got an obvious thri of false accusations. Theresa handled herself appropriately by walking out of the room when that scumbag strange man "outed" melissa.15 seconds of fame. Perhaps he wS paid by kim and unknown others to speak such vile on camera.Bully witch headmaster Caroline swooped in to "say told u so." Shame on caroline, jacqueline, kathy, melissa andhubby joe for assuming a set up via theresa. Clear as day that teresa loves her brother and melissa and walked away from the "revelation."it made her uncomfortable. I too agree why bring it up to melisa rsa what happened at posh,s salon visit.thersa should have informed melissa at posh show in private withou the cameras on. Her error. That is it. Everyone wants to assume teresa is bad, bad, bad,
Teresa does need help but not because people gang up on her, she needs help taking responsibility for her actions. She always says she never is to blame. She is alot to blame. She is so air headed and mean. She is only nice to someone when others are mad at her. She is not nor ever has been a true friend to anyone on the show.
So true! Well said!
She maybe airhead but her family was put on the show to take her down and Caroline is the head master. But she will not go down. who doesn't have faults. and Melissa will never be Teresa she told Joe to yell "shame on you" but he had enough sense not too.
As much as I dont like Teresa, she has a point. She was not involved in exposing Melissa, that honor goes to coke fiend KIm D. who set them both up. Teresa has said some nasty things about Melissa in the past, so its easy to see why she is being blamed. Yes fame has destroyed her, and her family, some people sell their soul for 30Lbs of silver, Teresa is one of them.
come on have any of you watched this show??? Theresa's husband call's Melissa name's like raccoon face. Her children make rude and rotten comments. And they allow it! She has never had a kind word for anyone. I could only hope to have a family like Caroline's, the children have manners and respect. I move out of the country to get away from this women (Theresa) if she were in my family!
Joe is like a typical manly man. He is tring to make teresa feel loved. That is how a supportiv ehubby or friend may do it. Name callingof target who has hurt his wife.. in private.I.like joe. But it appears he is cheating. That is sad, selfish and horrible.
you have selective ears, do you not hear all the things they say about Teresa
I can only imagine what was really said by Ms Guidice because I don`t believe the words you did print were even close to what she said.

Earlier today I posted about TimeDriver – an automated, time broker to help schedule one-on-one meetings – only to stumble upon a similar service called TimeBridge this afternoon. I told you there are a lot of time management sites out there.
Unlike TimeDriver, TimeBridge is a meeting negotiation product allowing for multi-person meetings and allows the attendees to vote on the best time to meet.
So how does it work? The organizer sends out several proposed times for a meeting, and the site will coordinate the replies of attendees until everyone agrees on a single time, at which point it will lock in the agreed-on time for everyone and release the tentative hold it had on the alternate spots. The interesting feature is the ability of attendees to flag a specific time as the "best" time for them, which the system considers a vote when identifying the meeting time.
TimeBridge does integrate with Outlook and includes a very handy "Reply with TimeBridge" option that it adds to Outlook if you install the add-on. If someone sends you an email about a meeting, you can use this option to transfer the discussion to the TimeBridge system. All this while syncing up with your Outlook calendar so is it aware of available times.
Given the current declining trend in the housing market, some lenders have chosen to not only exit the Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) business but also to freeze their existing customers' lines. What does this mean for me?
If you have a HELOC with a lender who has decided to freeze their current lines, some impacts are rather blatant while others may not be so obvious. The obvious part is once your line is frozen, you are unable to make further advances. This could place you in a huge bind if in fact you had plans to use your HELOC for future home projects, a wedding, school expenses, vacation, or the like.
What's not so obvious? Well behind the scenes, when a lender decides to freeze or close your HELOC one of two things can happen. First, if you have no outstanding balance, the creditor will likely report to the credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) that the loan was closed by the credit grantor. Although this was closed due to no adverse action on your behalf, this is not a desirable notation on your credit report. If you have an outstanding balance, the creditor will likely reduce your credit limit to match your outstanding balance, which looks as if you have maxed out your credit line. Having a maxed out credit limit is also undesirable.
Having accounts that were closed by the credit grantor as well as having credit limits that are maxed out both impact your credit score. So, not only are you unable to use your credit line for future uses, your credit is also being tarnished by the lender's decision to exit the market.
What's next? Well, you have options. Not all lenders are exiting the market; in fact many lenders are still actively seeking this business. It would be wise to find a lender who is interested in your business. Refinancing your credit line will allow you to not only have the line of credit for future purposes but will also lessen the negative impacts of your lender's decision.
Anyone else getting bombarded by callers (and mail) offering extended warranties on your car because yours is about to run out and this is the FINAL offer, over and over again?
I'm sure you are, I think this is one of the biggest marketing blitzes launched in a long time. I've tried opting out of the calls, I tried to speak to someone in management but they do not permit that. They have the whole thing very well rigged so that you can only get to them if you are buying. I even tried pretending I was buying and as soon as I asked who I could speak with about the calls, they hung up. I was glad to read the following information; maybe this will be of help to you too.
The Maryland Attorney General's office has this to say:
Consumer Alert: Be Wary of Offers for Automobile Extended Warranties
The Attorney General is encouraging consumers to hang up if they receive unwanted telemarketing calls, and beware of any offers of extended warranties. If consumers receive calls on a phone that has been registered with the national "Do Not Call" database, they should provide information on the callers, including the identity of the caller and the number from which the call was placed, to the Consumer Protection Division. Consumers who wish to add a phone to the "Do Not Call" database can do so by calling 1-888-382-1222. The marketing mailings may appear to be an important notice from the consumer's car dealer or auto manufacturer. There is always an eye-catching warning on the front of the card, such as: "Final Notice: Expiring Auto Warranty."
Visit the AG's site to learn more: http://www.oag.state.md.us/Press/2008/071408.htm
It's bad enough getting those calls at home but now they call at work and on my cell! Oh well, I guess it's entertainment for lonely shut-ins.

Ordo ab Chao
He stands at the edge of time and looks at the ocean of chaos flowing beneath his feet. He crouches and runs his hand in the stream of pure cosmic consciousness and feels a tingle run up his hand. In that moment, a universe is born, worlds are formed and lives are created. Like the flow of sand, wheel of time starts to spin and thus a new story begins whose ending only he knows.
With birth comes the definitive death, its smell always hovering since the moment of birth.
His grey-blue skin glistens in the wake of a dying star. He basks in the light and sees through every speck of dust that is blown from the core of the star. He sees a pattern in that chaos - a pattern that he understands and knows how to untangle every one of them. But for now, he allows them to be.
Space bends and time ceases to exist when he decides on his destination. He finds himself surrounded by snow covered mountains and fresh green grass. The conjoining contradiction isn't lost on him. A pang of unknown emotion rises from his spine, his reaction to the laughter of a young woman carried by the passing wind. The smell of ash on his skin blends with the smell of grass and honeysuckle making the wind take that smell to the owner of the laughter.
The calmness he personified during the creation of time was lost in an abyss of unbound energy which he passed before he came here.
Here is going to be everywhere, he thinks wryly.
He feels velvety grass crunch beneath his naked feet as he makes his way towards the sound of laughter. The irony of him seeking something so mundane, something so human makes him chuckle. Yet, it was something that had to be done; for mankind, for himself and for her. He owed her that. He wonders if she would recognize him the moment she sees him. Eons of memory was crumpled and stuffed into pockets of stars when she was born as her. The stars would return her memory of him and her together when it was time for her to know.
Everything happened according to design; a pattern that was laid out according to blueprints designed by him. That was the only way he could bring around order. That was the only way he could probably perform his duty.
However sometimes chaos required more than an outside supervision.
Her laughter dies when her eyes fall on a stranger - a man with animal skin woven around his waist and his blue grey skin covered in ash. His eyes shone like stars and he smelled of universe.
She smiled in recognition.
Sometimes, chaos needed his intervention.
And then came the order the world was waiting for.

My knowledge of Hindu mythology is very limited and narrow...in fact I shun myself for not recognising the Deity until I read Ivre's comment. However this was so eloquently written, the fantasy element in itself was surreal...I can't really explain it. This has to be one of the best pieces in this series, I applaud your skills!

korean barbecue in Philly?
Any suggestions for great Korean food in C.C.?
I'm sorry, but the offerings in Center City are pretty bad. If you're willing to go over the bridge to Cherry Hill, there's a good place on Route 70 called Beawon. If you absolutely have to stay in Center City, you may end up going to Pastoral on 13th just south of Walnut, although I would really not recommend it as their food is not the greatest.
I'm not sure if it's great Korean barbecue and it's not quite Center City, but Porky and Porkie's at 11th and Washington is all you can eat for about $16.
For that price you get a choice of all sorts of marinated raw meats, including the regular marinated beef, beef ribs, chicken, spicy pork, spicy squid, bacon, and I think they sometimes have tripe or chicken gizzards. In addition, they usually have either fried rice or cellophane noodles, sushi(limited), fruit and all the proper accompaniments to the meat (lettuce, garlic, sliced hot peppers, and bean paste).
If you want great barbecue, go to Kim's BBQ House on North 5th Street in Olney. It's fantastic, but the neighborhood is a bit iffy and getting there isn't so easy without a car.
Good Luck
Actually there is a GREAT Korean barbecue on Chestnut st between 20th and 21st. It is called Miran, and it is open for lunch or dinner (except Sundays) and each time I've eaten there I've been very satisfied. We had four people, brought our own beer, had apps and three kinds of bbq and spent under $50! Delicius and you know it is authentic because it is filled with Korean students from Penn and Drexel.
re: phillydoc
I couldn't agree more. Miran is excellent, whether you do the BBQ or bibim bap or other traditional dishes. And, the staff is very, very friendly.
Forgot about Miran; I went there once and for some reason never went back.
Porky and Porkie's is awful; there is no flavor to the meat. I got the impression that it was owned by Vietnamese people. Some of the things they offer shouldn't be necessary if they were truly a good Korean BBQ. I do remember their banchan being particularly unappetizing and the kimchi tasting strange. I'm not that well-versed in the subtleties of whether or not kimchi is homemade and how well it is made, but theirs is pretty obviously bad.
Kim's Barbecue on north 5th Street in Olney is very good. Has been there for at least a dozen years or so and going strong.
Neighborhood is, shall we say, haggard...but you'll be fine.
5900 Block of 5th street.
Still hankering for Korean?...there a re number of restaurants in this area on N 5th. Continue north on 5th until you hit cheltenham ave...a number of restaurants in the strip mall there...
just dined at miran (2034 chestnut st) and was very pleasantly surprised! i had vege dumplings and a huge bowl of tofu + rice soup with cabbage, broccoli and all the usual fixings. nice spice mix & great cabbage here. very friendly waitstaff, too, they will bring you all the extra veggies you want! they have grills at each table for if you order two meats (being vegetarian and dining solo, i obviously didn't get to try this but the table next to me was having a blast!). fairly crowded. BYO. their takeout menu says they deliver, too. i will definitely be back. A+
re: Vino100
While I also like Tampopo for quick, cheap, fairly good takeout - the people are so friendly, always give me extra hot sauce - I think they are more like a fast neighborhood place than a destination for bbq. There are no table bbqs, and the food is probably the most American-tasting Korean I've had.
I've been to Kim's Korean Barbeque several times now, and the food is delicious. I'm not an aficionado of the cuisine, but my husband has been to Korea several times and he finds Kim's quite authentic. They now have beer on the menu, but you can also byob. Be careful not too order too much food, the 4 of us ordered two appetizers and two bbque dinners and it was alot of food. The pancake and dumpling appetizers were delicious, but huge. The bbque dinner comes with kimchee and assorted other dishes on the side. The staff was very sweet, but did not speak much english. I think the neighborhood is fine, I would feel safe going there with just other women, so if there are men in your group, I wouldn't worry at all.
re: pafoodie
i had some extra time on my hands today so i went up to kim's ... i live off the same street, further south, so it was just a drive up 5th. i guess this is for another thread, but i almost got sidetracked by the centro de oro area... i'll have to do some more exploring there. i've only had korean food a handful of times and i guess being vegetarian takes the fun out of most of it, what with the BBQing and all, but the restaurant smelled wonderful. i got the bibimbap which came with all those sides, and i ordered the pancake cooked with jalepenos as well. WAY too much food for one person. probably enough for 4. for $22, which includes a beer. it's definitely a cuisine i have much to learn about. while it was all tasty, i'm still not sure if i'm eating the bibimbap correctly! :)
the neighborhood seems fine to me. i was there around 4pm and didn't see anything shifty or out of the ordinary. i wouldn't worry about it, if that's what's keeping anyone from going!

|Geneva (GVA) airport
|73 Km
Easi to use
Punctual on both trips. Return to geneva was unsafe. Driver using mobile and driving too fast and too close. Breaks on minibus also sounded in need of repair.
Easy to use and book.
Both drivers were courteous and prompt. Driver on first way did not know where he was going once in les carroz town. Luckily we had some written instructions and with out minimal school french was able to explain the location as best as possible. Return driver was great as he arrived early and knew where he was to go. As the airport traffic on motorway was busy he took us the scenic route but still managed to get us to the airport in plenty of room. We would happily use this service again.
Very good
Booking procedure is OK
I think there is no need to assign time for back transfer so to bring to the airport 3 hours before the flight
Very easy
Excellent journeys. Local driver on route home avoided traffic delays.
Very Clear.
Late for collection at both Airport and Les Carroz apartments, approximately 1 hour each time.

RN 74 Restaurant Week
- s
- sugarbushmary Oct 16, 2012 09:13 PM
I'm very interested in hearing a report from anyone who has done RN74 during Restaurant week (I know, it just started).
I've been to RW at RN 74 during a previous one and was pretty disappointed. The only dish that was at all interesting was the one we ordered from the regular menu, and all of the dishes were half-heartedly executed. Not impressed at all
went to rn74 not long after they opened and was 100% disappointed - 4 dishes, 4 utter disasters. how restaurant week can improve that is rather difficult to imagine
re: HungWeiLo
I am out on Restaurant Week. It seems that it gets worse every year.
Too crowded. Weak offerings by places that aren't much better than what they do normally. I don't see the appeal in it any more.
I'm almost more inclined to go to places that AREN'T part of Restaurant Week.
A hot little tip, Madison Park Conservatory has an "Ant-Restaurant Week" going that's probably better than Restaurant Week. If you follow them on Facebook, they release a "Secret Word" every day on Tues, Wed, Thurs that gets you 50% off everything on their food menu. I feel like MPC has fallen off the radar a little bit after a hot opening, but they are better than at least half of the places listed for Resto Week and that half off food deal is better than anyone is offering.
re: GreenYoshi
Thanks for the tip, Green! I will definitely be checking that out.
I've not bothered with SRW in the past, but decided to this autumn. This past week I went to Rover's and Lark. Rover's was lovely, with the starters and mains well presented. I didn't love the desserts as much, feeling the chocolate wasn't well accompanied (except for the fig compote, which I loved) and that the apricot panna cotta was too stiff.
Last night I went to Lark and, with the exception of the pork with a wonderful celery puree, I came away unimpressed. Especially since they subbed the tuna with another fish that I don't think carried the dish nearly as well as the tuna would have.
Nest week I'm checking out Belle Clementine and Staple and Fancy.
I suppose I could have posted that in a new thread, but I don't feel these reviews are necessarily representative of the restaurants as a whole and don't deserve a new thread.
re: GreenYoshi
I went to the Madison Park Conservatory on Wednesday. I think the food portion of the bill came out to about $75 for three with the discount. We had the deviled eggs, fried brussels sprouts, boudin balls, two quails, scallops, rabbit garganelli., peanut butter ice cream, apple crisp, and the cookie plate (the tongue's still on the menu, but I've had it already). Everything was a hit and I can't imagine we would have eaten this well at most of the places doing restaurant week.
Things may change after the "secret" gets out, but the restaurant was only half-full on Wednesday. $130+tip with drinks is a great deal for one of the most interesting restaurants in the city.
re: HungWeiLo
Did dinner at Crush which we do every year, but this year it did NOT wow. Best thing was the Truffle Leek vichyssoise that was wonderfully rich. Rest was ok, but unlike prior years, did not wow.
Had excellent lunches at both Cafe Flora and Mistral, although was less happy with the Parsnip Soup at Mistral than have been in the past. Dinner at Monsoon for 4 last night was a real hit - Appetizers of Bo La Lot, Spare ribs, fried veggie rolls to wrap up in lettuce and Jicima salad all great. Mains included the Catfish which is always my fav; pork chop with lemon grass & greens, wokked beef with veggies and two veggie sides (bok choy & green beans). All 4 of us had chocolate ganache for desert. All around wonderful, especially since our guests were out of towners!
re: HungWeiLo
Thanks. I've gone out for RW for the past several years - and every single time I've ended up ordering from the normal menu after looking at the RW menu. Maybe I'll actually try to stick with the RW menu this time (and do my homework beforehand).
Our group of six dined at The Coterie Room last night. They ran out of 1 of the dessert offerings while we sat down at 7:30pm. Duck rilletes, apple and arugula salad and short ribs were well done but nothing out of the park. Unfortunately, half of our crew ordered the vegetarian pasta entree thinking it included lobster, not lobster mushrooms!
They were also training a new server so there was that.
Despite driving my industry friends crazy by patronizing SRW, dinner for 2, a couple drinks and tip for under $100 is a good deal and we'll continue to try new places during this promo.
We did Maximilien last night, our first time there.
Pretty good, not great. She did the mussels, beef cheeks, and bread pudding. I did the country paté, beef cheeks, and pear sorbet. Mussels were excellent. The paté was mediocre, especially given how much good charcuterie you can get around here now. I mean, Le Pichet and Matt's are literally around the corner. The beef cheeks themselves were delicious, but the accompanying sauce was one-note and almost institutional. Mashed potatoes and roasted veggies were both well-executed. Her dessert was delightful. Mine had wonderfully intense flavor, but was exceedingly gritty. Maybe that's how pear sorbet is...don't think I've ever tried it before. Didn't stop me from inhaling it, pears being my favorite fruit and one of my very favorite foods.
Off the restaurant-week menu, we started with a half-dozen oysters, which were quite tasty.
Bar selection could use a serious update.
Probably wouldn't return for a full dinner, but could see heading back to share a bowl of mussels and a couple beers after work if a window table was available. Or maybe dessert and coffee after a night at Benaroya.
re: eight_inch_pestle
There is no need for pear sorbet to be gritty, much less exceedingly so. Pears do have gritty stone cells, but between cooking, pureeing, and passing through a fine chinoise, they can be eliminated.
re: babette feasts
That's what I figured. Well, that's another ding then. Thanks for sharing.
Restaurant Week is a great concept that's sort of fallen off in terms of quality lately. It seems the restaurants have mostly opted for a philosophy of "let's offer cheap cuts and options in order to maximize revenues from RW" as opposed to its original intent, which was to let restaurants showcase their best for people who hadn't been there before, in an attempt to get new business. One restaurant in particular was guilty of this, charging the standard $28 for a dinner menu that would have cost....$24 if you had ordered each item separately.
We still did SOME Restaurant Week this year, but not nearly as much in year's past. We did Wild Ginger - it was passable, but if it were my first time there and if I didn't know how good the duck was (not offered), I'd probably not come back. We tried to do Manhattan, but the menu they gave us in the place was different from what was on the website, so we left. We did Restaurant Zoe, which was actually quite good (and did provide an actual value ranging from $10-16 off depending on your choices). The pork belly, salmon, and 3 pear panna cotta were of particular note. We will likely do Blueacre tonight, just because they always seem to bring it for RW. There's a place called the Redmond Grille or some such up in Redmond who's menu looked interesting, but I have my doubts simply because it's yet another damn gastropub, and those things are about as cliche as blackberry vines up here. I'm tired of the concept.
One thing that really stood out to me this year is it seems almost everybody is offering a damn pumpkin soup. I get it, it's October....but if EVERYBODY is offering a pumpkin soup, what makes yours stand out? No matter how good it is, it's still just a pumpkin soup.
I dunno, the organizers need to approach these restaurant owners and get them back in line, I think.
re: Quintious
Let us know how it goes at Blueacre. Thanks for a very helpful report!
re: Quintious
RW was meant to "showcase their best"? Really? That's a tasting menu, not RW. RW was always meant to get people in the door, but I don't ever remember restaurants offering their best (in fact I think the offerings are better than they used to be--I remember a time when chicken breast was a staple).
re: christy319
Part of the agreement to participate in RW is that you are supposed to offer your regular, full sized dishes, not some minimized, dumbed down version. Unfortunately, a lot of places don't follow the rules and do skimp.
re: christy319
I think the idea of restaurant week, and of fixed price specials generally, is not only to get you "in the door," but instead to show you why you should return. So while the dishes need not be the best that comes out of the kitchen, they should at least impress, by suggesting the level of skill in the back of the house.
It perplexes me that restaurants would participate in the RW promotion, and then put out mediocre dishes and/or reduced portions, but it has been my experience that many do just that. And that's a shame.
I have never, ever had a good RW dinner. I stopped trying years ago. I mean, in order to not lose money they have to offer things that are cost effective and not too labor intensive to prepare. The desserts are always total throwaways, completely boring and nothing I would ever order. In most cases I could order an app and entree for the same price as the RW cost.
I will occasionally do a RW lunch. My bar is lower, and its cheaper. I can easily end up spending $12 on, say, a piroshky and a cup of soup for lunch, so I don't mind spending a few bucks more for a few courses, even if they aren't stellar.
re: christy319
That's funny. I've often found the desserts to be a highlight....
Did RW for lunch and dinner yesterday to close out the week. Lunch @ Maricopa inside Needless Markup at the Bravern in Bellevue. The popovers they brought out (their free bread, served with strawberry butter) was good, but whomever handled them had "salmon hands". I could taste a little hint of fish with every bite, and it really killed it for me (I will say this, though - my girlfriend couldn't taste that at all, and I *do* have an absolutely insane palate that picks up flavours in dishes most people can't). Appetizers were alright - she ended up with 2 tiny crab cakes that had a great homemade tartar sauce, but the crab cakes were way too bread-crumby for me. I hate it when restaurants skimp on the crab and use extra filler. I had a French Onion soup that was....wasn't the best I've had, wasn't the worst. Entrees - she had a shrimp salad with a blood orange vinaigrette that was so faint that even I had a hard time making it out. I had a salmon BLT that was actually quite good, with handmade sour cream & onion potato chips, which were the highlight of the whole meal. Dessert was standard fare. A mousse that tasted like a mousse and an ice cream sundae that tasted like an ice cream sundae.
BlueAcre was much better for dinner (as always). Both of the appetizers (the persimmon and wasabi pea salad as well as the crab cake were outstanding. The steak and salmon were pretty standard fare, but there was value built into these dishes. I felt the pecan pie was a bit overrated, but I don't really like pecan pie, so can't be reliable on this. My girlfriend enjoyed it immensely. The roasted quince and huckleberry fool was delicious, though.
At least SOME places bring it for RW.
re: Quintious
I was pleasantly surprised by RN74. Much too loud for my liking but the service was superb and I thought the food pretty good. The mushroom soup was excellent, as was their salad. The trout was perfectly undercooked and very tasty. Instead of pork chop shown on Seattle Times menu, it pork tenderloin which is my least favorite pork choice as it is specifically very lean and therefore not really flavorful. But a nice presentation. The desserts did not grab me but they had Ossau_iraty, good sheeps milk cheese for a premium. Because my partner had told them it was my birthday, there was a card on the table and an additional dessert with a candle. All in all, a pleasant evening. I'm not counting this as my birthday dinner - we plan to do Altura in a week or so for that.
I finished out RW with trips to Staple and Fancy and Belle Clementine.
Staple and Fancy offered a nice meal, with great starters of exceptional variety and interest. The mains of pork cheeks and baked cod were good, though I liked Rover's butter poached cod and Lark's pork with celery root puree from last week better. The desserts were fine. I think the ricotta cheesecake was my favorite desert of the four RW visits over the past two weeks.
Belle Clementine was a disaster. For starters, the price of dinner was only $5 less than their subscription price of $33--and the subscription includes a glass of wine. Add my $7 wine and I actually paid MORE for my three-course dinner than I would have as a subscriber. More often, those meals are four-course, as well. The meal was, in nearly every respect, a throwaway. Black bean and lentil soup was a thick, homely affair that doesn't belong in a restaurant. It was accompanied with three house-fried chips and I can't imagine how the chef thought those would go together because they didn't. After that was stuffed quail, which was fine, accompanied by a smudge of something rooty and four little pieces of romanesco broccoli. Not terrible, but also not memorable. For dessert, we were served cookies. Look, I like cookies as much as the next person, but if I want them I'll bake them myself or get them from a bakery. I have never ordered a cookie at a restaurant and don't know why they would be offered, other than to cheap-out. In any event, the Mexican wedding cookie was flavorless and the Mexican chocolate cookie dry. Other diners also found it to be too spicy to be edible.
I agree with Gizmo in that my reason for trying RW was to try places I've not been to before with the intent of finding places to return. Instead, I came away knowing which places I WON'T go back to. The only place I'll consider returning to is Staple and Fancy. The rest weren't worth it. This is the last time I'll do RW.
My experience with RW so far hasn't been fantastic either...
I decided to try out Lark for dinner:
I had a tomato soup, which had very good flavor (although the herbs in it + texture made it more reminiscent of a pasta sauce than a soup). But the portion size was laughable, I am not exaggerating when I say the bowl contained about 1/4 cup (2oz.) of soup.
I had tuna is cauliflower, grapes, almonds and some sort of a sauce which I can't recall (I believe it was a pistou or chermoula, some sort of herb-oil combination). Again, the portion size was very small there were two thin slices of tuna, I would approximate the total size to be 5 slices of sashimi for reference. Everything was overcooked, the tuna was dried out and tough (though, give the slices were about the thickness of sashimi I suppose it would be pretty hard NOT to overcook them). The cauliflower was likewise overcooked, although not as badly and its flavor was nice.
Finally I opted for the pear tart tatin with caramel for desert. This was the only dish which had an appropriate portion size (actually, it was slightly larger than some desert portions I've seen in comparable places).
The dish itself though left much to be desired, although the portion of tart was ample, there was hardly enough pear to populate the crust. Again, it was overcooked. Well, the tart itself was fine but the caramel had charred taste at the end which suggested it had been taken a little too far. Not inedible, but not something that would make me return. Finally, the ice cream served alongside it tasted cheap to me, although that could have just been my imagination.
I'm used to restaurants serving smaller portion sizes, and I fine with it provided the food and ingredients are of good quality. However, when I walk away from a three-course meal feeling slightly hungry, and majority of the food was in the dessert course, I believe a line has been crossed. That was my first experience at Lark, and overall I'm sorry to say I won't be planning to return anytime soon.
At least a few of us have found some good RW experiences though!
re: OrigamiDuck
This is such a shame. I wonder if restaurants understand how many of us are not just exploiting the opportunity for a one-time deal, but truly scouting for places to add to the regular rotation or prioritize for that next special occasion.
re: eight_inch_pestle
The thing is, a lot of these things are only "deals" insofar as you're getting 3 courses for less than it normally would cost for those 3. Most people I know (myself included) seldom order dessert and, if we were to order appetizers, would only order one and share it amongst a dining couple. Restaurant week actually results in (at least at my house) a higher expense than usual, because we typically don't spend 70 dollars for 2 meals and water at most of these places.
....which is why I expect full-size entrees and full-on menu items as opposed to "special" restaurant week dishes (read: Cheap ingredients ala chicken, cod, vegetables, etc.). Any restaurant that doesn't provide that loses a potential customer. And we eat out 5 nights a week and usually 2-3 times during the days. They're shooting themselves in the foot. Someone needs to explain it to them.
re: Quintious
We went to Flying Fish, which I had actually only been for oysters/HH food before. I was pleasantly surprised. They had like 3/4 options for each course. I had a sort of thai-style mussels in broth, very well-executed steelhead with sorrel sauce, and a mini apple pie-ish dessert. My wife had an app. I can't remember and then a multi-chocolate/molten thing that was pretty good (if pretty cliche at this point). We ate on the early side and the place was pretty empty yet, which may have helped with the execution.
Pont's was excellent. The entire menu is up for grabs, some having surcharges. I go every year and always have an excellent meal.
