SEAN VINCENT ALLEN, APPELLANTv.UNITED STATES, APPELLEE
Appeal from the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. (Hon. Michael L. Rankin, Trial Judge)
Before Wagner, Chief Judge,* Sullivan, Associate Judge, and Mack, Senior Judge.
SULLIVAN, Associate Judge: After a jury trial, appellant, Sean Allen (Allen), was convicted of one count of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle (UUV), D.C. Code § 22-3815 (1989), one count of possession of an unregistered firearm, id. § 6-2311 (1994 Supp.), and one count of possession of ammunition, id. § 6-2361 (1989). On appeal, appellant argues that the trial court abused its discretion by (1) denying appellant's motion for a mistrial because of the government's belated disclosure of the complete oral statement made by appellant to the arresting officers; (2) not imposing sanctions on the government for its failure to preserve the key to the automobile and the yellow inventory control tag on which the key was attached; and (3) denying appellant's motion for a mistrial because of alleged inflammatory and prejudicial rhetoric used by the prosecutor in opening, closing, and rebuttal arguments. Appellant also contends that the trial Judge committed reversible error by communicating ex parte to the jury in response to a jury note. We affirm.
On April 27, 1991, at approximately 3:30 a.m., Sergeant Gary Glenn of the Metropolitan Police Department was parked in his marked cruiser on Q Street, Southwest, just west of Half Street. He saw appellant driving south on Half Street in a 1987 Acura Legend. When appellant reached the stop sign at Q Street, he applied his brakes "a little late, sliding on loose gravel and just into the intersection." He then made a right turn onto Q Street and drove past Sergeant Glenn's cruiser. As appellant drove past him, Sergeant Glenn noticed that there was a Maryland licence plate on the rear of the car, but no tag on the front. For that reason, Sergeant Glenn turned his cruiser around and began to follow the Acura. He ran the license plate number of the car through the police computer system, was advised by his dispatcher that the Maryland license plate had been reported stolen, and called for backup units to assist him in stopping the car.
Sergeant Glenn and other officers stopped appellant and his passenger *fn1 on Suitland Parkway, near Stanton Road. The officers ordered the appellant and his passenger out of the car. Sergeant Glenn checked inside the car and observed a single key in the ignition and the stock of a handgun protruding from under the driver's seat. Officer Joseph Gingrich also observed the butt of a firearm underneath the driver's seat.
Appellant was then arrested and taken to the First District police station. Officer David Hobbs "put the vehicle on the property book" and filled out the property report. The key was then attached to a property tag, and the tag stapled to the property form, pending return of the vehicle to the owner. Officer Gingrich, after advising appellant of his Miranda *fn2 rights, asked appellant where he had gotten the car. Appellant told Officer Gingrich that, shortly before leaving for the East Side Club *fn3 that evening, he had been walking down the street, and a female "crack head" *fn4 had given him the keys to the car for five dollars. Officer Gingrich made it known that he did not believe appellant, and appellant then told the officer he had nothing else to say.
A representative for Templeton Oldsmobile came to the First District police station after being notified that the Acura Legend had been recovered. Both the key and the car were released to him. The dealer sold the car, with the key, approximately three days later.
In addition to the police officers involved in this case, Roger Gehring, the used car manager at Templeton Oldsmobile at the time the car was stolen, testified at trial about how the dealership kept the keys to the cars on the lot. He testified that the keys were kept on a board inside a closet, and that there was a yellow tag attached to each ring.
Appellant did not testify at trial. The substance of the testimony of all four of his witnesses was that appellant had his own 1984 BMW, and therefore did not need to be involved with a stolen car.
Appellant contends that a mistrial should have been granted because the government failed to disclose before trial the entirety of an oral statement made by appellant to the arresting officers. Super. Ct. Crim. R. 16 (a)(1)(A) provides in relevant part that:
upon request of a defendant the prosecutor shall disclose to the defendant and make available for inspection, copying, or photographing: . . . the substance of any . . . relevant oral statement made by the defendant whether before or after arrest in response to interrogation by any person then known by the defendant to be a government agent if the government intends to use that statement at trial.
In construing Rule 16, this court has held that "'substance' in this context connotes disclosure 'in enough detail to minimize the undesirable effects of surprise at trial and otherwise contribute to the fair and efficient administration of criminal Justice.'" Smith v. United States, 491 A.2d 1144, 1147 (D.C. 1985) (citation omitted). The government's response to a defendant's inquiries regarding the substance of the statement must be accurate and unambiguous. Id. Here, appellant contests the admission of the statement made by Officer Gingrich at trial and contends that he was denied a fair trial because the full extent of the statement was not disclosed to appellant during pretrial discovery.
After his arrest, appellant made a statement to Officer Gingrich while he was in the cellblock. Officer Gingrich testified to the substance of appellant's oral statement during a preliminary suppression hearing. According to the officer,
the defendant stated that shortly before he had left to go to the east side that evening, he was on foot walking down a street in Maryland and he had a conversation with a female who he referred to as a crack head and the female gave him the keys to the vehicle in exchange for $5.
(Emphasis added.) At the end of the suppression hearing, the trial court ruled that the government could use appellant's statement. The court also ruled that "there are no other statements that the government can use from the defendant in its case in chief, that is the statement."
At appellant's trial, Officer Gingrich testified that appellant told him that the car had come from a female crack head that appellant encountered in Maryland "shortly before he left that evening for the East Side Club." (Emphasis added.) Appellant's trial counsel made no objection to the officer's testimony. The following morning, however, appellant's counsel moved for a mistrial, asserting that the government had not disclosed previously a portion of the oral statement during pretrial discovery in violation of Super. Ct. Crim. R. 16 -- that portion of the statement in which appellant allegedly stated that his destination was the East Side Club instead of the "east side." The trial Judge found appellant's counsel's argument to have some merit and therefore instructed the jury as follows:
On yesterday you heard testimony from Officer Gingrich . . . that following that advisement of rights that the defendant elected to make a statement and that a portion of that statement that he made began with "shortly before leaving for the East Side Club " and then you will recall yourselves the remainder of that testimony.
And the Court today has determined for legal reasons that you are to disregard so much of the statement that the witness reported was made to him by Sean Allen . . . as begins with the phrase "shortly before leaving for the East Side Club."
The remainder of that statement is in evidence for your consideration when you deliberate this case.
However, I direct the court reporter to strike from the record of this trial so much of that testimony that included the phrase attributed to Sean Allen that begins "shortly before leaving for the East Side Club." That is no longer evidence in this trial. You are to disregard it.
Thus, in response to the government's failure to disclose the entirety of appellant's oral statement, the trial Judge, in the exercise of his discretion, sanctioned the government by striking the reference to the East Side Club. According to appellant, this sanction was inadequate.
It is well established in this jurisdiction that the trial court has authority, pursuant to Rule 16 (d)(2), to fashion an appropriate sanction for failure to comply with Rule 16 (a)(1)(A). Williams v. United States, 641 A.2d 479, 484 (D.C. 1994); Davis v. United States, 623 A.2d 601, 605 (D.C. 1993); see also Cotton v. United States, 388 A.2d 865, 869 (D.C. 1978).
The court may order party [who has violated Rule 16] to permit the discovery or inspection, grant a continuance, or prohibit the party from introducing evidence not disclosed, or it may enter such other orders as it deems just under the circumstances.
Super. Ct. Crim. R. 16 (d)(2). The trial Judge enjoys a broad range of possible sanctions, with the sole limitation being that the sanction be "just under the circumstances." Davis, supra, 623 A.2d at 605.
In exercising its discretion, the trial court must consider the reason for the nondisclosure, the impact of nondisclosure, and the impact of the proposed sanction on the administration of Justice. Yoon v. United States, 594 A.2d 1056, 1061 (D.C. 1991) (quoting Wiggins v. United States, 521 A.2d 1146, 1148 (D.C. 1987)). The record does not reflect any specific reason for the nondisclosure of the complete statement to appellant prior to September 9th; however, this court has recognized that, despite the disclosure requirements of Rule 16, "less precision is possible with statements which have not been reduced to writing." Thomas v. United States, 444 A.2d 952 (D.C. 1982). Though the disclosure of appellant's oral statement during the preliminary hearing that he was going to the "east side" that evening, instead of to the "East Side Club," may not have been sufficient, we concur with the trial court that the government did not act in bad faith. There is no indication from the record that the government purposely failed to disclose the full statement in order to thwart appellant's defense or surprise appellant at trial. Moreover, the trial Judge imposed a sanction against the government and excluded from the jury's consideration the apparent inadvertent reference to the East Side Club, and thus, prevented appellant from being prejudiced by the government's actions.
In reviewing a trial Judge's exercise of discretion, an appellate court must defer to the Judge's choice if it was within the range of permissible alternatives, taking "cognizance of the nature of the determination being made and the context within which it was rendered."
Wiggins, supra, 521 A.2d at 1148 (quoting Johnson v. United States, 398 A.2d 354, 366 (D.C. 1979)). This court will not reverse the trial court's decision as to what sanctions, if any, to impose for the government's failure to disclose fully statements pursuant to Super. Ct. Crim. R. 16, unless there is an error which has substantially prejudiced a defendant's rights. Lee v. United States, 454 A.2d 770, 776 (D.C. 1982) (emphasis added), cert. denied, 464 U.S. 972, 78 L. Ed. 2d 349, 104 S. Ct. 409 (1983).
Here, appellant's rights were not substantially prejudiced. The trial Judge imposed a sanction against the government by excluding from the jury's consideration appellant's statement that he was going to the East Side Club. Appellant has not articulated what prejudice, if any, he has suffered by this sanction. Appellant has not demonstrated from the record that the defense strategy was adversely affected or that he was prevented from pursuing his theory of the case. Furthermore, appellant's own witness, Anita Barbie, testified that appellant told her he was going to the East Side Club the night he was arrested. Finding no abuse of discretion by the trial Judge in the fashioning of the sanction and no substantial prejudice to appellant by the sanction imposed, we find no basis for reversal of the trial court's denial of the request for a mistrial.
Appellant also argues that the government improperly failed to preserve the automobile key for the vehicle involved and the yellow tag to which it was attached, and therefore, the trial court should have imposed sanctions against the government. At trial, appellant also alleged that, contrary to the government's representations, the key to the automobile was one of a number of keys on a key ring which had on it a photograph of the juvenile passenger riding with appellant in the car on the night of the arrest.
Super. Ct. Crim. R. 16 (a)(1)(C) provides, in relevant part, that:
upon request of the defendant the prosecutor shall permit the defendant to inspect and copy or photograph. . . tangible objects . . . or copies or portions thereof, which are within the possession, custody or control of the government, and which are material to the preparation of the defendant's defense, or are intended for use by the government as evidence in chief at trial, or were obtained from or belong to the defendant.
Appellant argues that the key and yellow tag were material to his defense and should have been preserved and made available to him during pretrial discovery.
The duty to produce discoverable evidence entails the antecedent duty to preserve that evidence. Brown v. United States, 372 A.2d 557, 560 (D.C.) (citing United States v. Augenblick, 393 U.S. 348, 21 L. Ed. 2d 537, 89 S. Ct. 528 (1969)), cert. denied, 434 U.S. 921 (1977). In determining whether the government's failure to preserve the evidence was error, this court should consider "(1) the circumstances occasioning the loss; (2) systematic steps taken toward preservation; and (3) the magnitude of demonstrated evidentiary materiality." Brown, supra, 372 A.2d at 561.
Here, it is undisputed that appellant used a key to operate the vehicle. The key and yellow tag were placed in the property room, in accordance with normal police procedure, when the vehicle was "put on the property book." A representative from the automobile dealership came to the First District police station shortly after being notified that the car had been recovered, and the key and the car were released to him. The key and yellow tag were not preserved by the government because they were returned to the owner of the car, and the car, with the key, was subsequently sold approximately three days after being returned to the dealership. There is no indication from the record that the government acted in bad faith in returning the key and yellow tag to the owner.
Moreover, the trial Judge specifically questioned the materiality of the key, the yellow tag, and the alleged key ring and photo. *fn5 Appellant correctly argues that the central issue is whether he had guilty knowledge that the Acura was stolen, but he fails to demonstrate how the key and yellow tag were material to his defense of lack of knowledge. Given, the fact that appellant stated that he received the Acura from a "crack head" for five dollars, we find that preservation of the key to the Acura Legend and the yellow tag would not have led a reasonable juror to conclude that appellant had no knowledge that the Acura was not stolen property. See note 5, (supra) . Moreover, the trial Judge found that appellant was not prejudiced because he could cross-examine the seller of the car, the arresting officer, and any other officer associated with the processing of the car about the key and the yellow inventory tag, thus rendering unnecessary the actual production of the key and yellow tag. The record supports the trial court's ruling that sanctions were unwarranted, and therefore, the trial court's failure to impose sanctions does not constitute an abuse of discretion. See Marshall v. United States, 340 A.2d 805, 809-10 (D.C. 1975).
Appellant next contends that he was unfairly prejudiced by the prosecutor's references to the East Side Club in his opening statement and closing argument. He argues that the prosecutor's comments were improper, inflammatory, and unsupported by any evidence, and that only a mistrial would have removed the prejudice to appellant. In his opening statement, the prosecutor stated that "the evidence will show that this club is an extraordinarily dangerous club" and that
the police patrol this vicinity in particular, and in fact were parked and patrolling the vicinity that night because there had been shootings there. There was drug abuse there . . . . The people who frequent the club are usually young, and there are problems. Let it be said at that. The officers will explain more when they testify.
Counsel for appellant objected to the references to the club, but those objections were overruled.
In closing argument, the prosecutor continued to discuss the reputation of the East Side Club in order to suggest that appellant knew that there was a gun in the car underneath his seat. The prosecutor argued:
Now, you heard the testimony of Sergeant Gary Glenn concerning what the East Side Club was. He told you that it was a club which was extremely dangerous. He told you that the club is notorious for gun fights, guns being present, and other problems. That is where was going on the night in question with his friend, and that's where they were headed when they went into the intersection.
After discussing the various factors suggesting that appellant knew about the gun, the prosecutor focused on the implausibility of a seventeen year old having both a gun in his pants and under the driver's seat. He continued:
What is the plausibility of this juvenile, D.W., having in his waistband his own .25-caliber small pistol and then having underneath the driver's seat another pistol so that, when they go into the East Side Club, what? He can be like some soldier of fortune, a mastermind, and shoot up this place?
At that point, counsel for appellant objected, and the trial Judge sustained the objection.
On appeal, appellant argues that the prosecutor should not have been permitted to introduce evidence as to the character of the East Side Club and to argue that the character was relevant to the question of whether appellant possessed the weapon underneath the driver's seat. Appellant argues that these particular comments regarding the club had so poisoned the minds of the jury, that only a mistrial would have removed the prejudice to appellant. In evaluating a mistrial motion for alleged prosecutorial impropriety, this court considers the following factors:
(1) the gravity of the misconduct, (2) the relative strength of the government's evidence, (3) the centrality of the issue affected (its direct relationship to the issue of guilt or innocence), and (4) the mitigating efforts that were made.
Parks v. United States, 451 A.2d 591, 611-12 (D.C. 1982) (internal quotation marks omitted) (quoting Johnson v. United States, 386 A.2d 710, 713 (D.C. 1978) (citations omitted), cert. denied, 461 U.S. 945 (1983)). "In addition [to these factors], the opinion of the trial Judge is entitled to some reliance since only she had the opportunity to appraise the effect of the remarks in their setting." Parks, supra, 451 A.2d at 612 (internal quotation marks omitted) (quoting Jenkins v. United States, 374 A.2d 581, 585 (D.C.) (citation omitted), cert. denied, 434 U.S. 894, 54 L. Ed. 2d 182, 98 S. Ct. 274 (1977)). Even if we conclude that the prosecutor's comments were improper, this court will, nonetheless, affirm appellant's conviction unless the defendant suffered substantial prejudice as a result of the comment. *fn6
The prosecutor's statements regarding the East Side Club and the problems associated with it did not constitute grave misconduct, and appellant was not substantially prejudiced, in any event, by the prosecutor's statements regarding the club. Cf. Dyson v. United States, 418 A.2d 127, 130-31 (D.C. 1980) (conviction reversed after repeated statements that all defense witnesses lied, suggestion that defendant fabricated his testimony based on that of other witnesses, and unauthorized argument regarding missing alibi witnesses); Villacres v. United States, 357 A.2d 423, 428 (D.C. 1976) (conviction reversed after repeated misstatements of the evidence -- including comments on inadmissible confession, unfounded allegation that defendant had instructed mother to suppress evidence, and argument that crime was comparable to crucifixion of Christ). The statements made by the prosecutor were supported by the evidence adduced at trial. Officer Gary Glenn, who patrols the area surrounding the East Side Club, testified as to the conditions and atmosphere at the club. Thus, the government did not misstate the evidence, introduce unfounded allegations, suggest that appellant's witnesses had lied, or commit any comparable action.
The harm, if any, caused by the prosecutor's statement in closing argument was mitigated by the trial court's sustaining of appellant's objection. Though appellant claims that no curative instruction was given, appellant did not request one, and the trial court's failure to give one sua sponte was certainly not plain error. *fn7 Moreover, any error by the trial court was harmless, given the strength of the government's case against appellant. The gun was located beneath the seat in which appellant sat. Two police officers testified that after appellant and the juvenile, D.W., had been pulled over and had exited the vehicle, they both observed the stock of a handgun protruding from underneath the driver's seat where appellant had been sitting and driving the vehicle. In light of the strength of the government's evidence and the lack of evidence demonstrating that appellant has suffered substantial prejudice as a result of the prosecutor's comments regarding the East Side Club, we find no error in the trial court's failure to grant a mistrial for appellant. *fn8
Appellant's final contention is that the trial court's ex parte communication with the jury in answering their note was reversible error. On the second day of deliberations, the trial Judge answered a jury note before appellant's counsel arrived in the courtroom. The trial Judge stated to the appellant:
Mr. Allen, you don't have to come down front. I'm having the case called to read into the record that I got this note from the jury at five minutes to ten. "Number one, we need a list of the specific elements of the crime of receipt of stolen property. Number two, memo of DA concerning statement." It's signed by Juror Number 106. In response to this note, I'm sending the following note to the jury. "Good morning jurors. . . . Please see the attached memo listing the statutory elements of the offense of receiving stolen property. . . . Two, the DA's memo, which you have requested, is not in evidence itself, because the document is inadmissible hearsay. The testimony concerning it, however, is a part of the evidence.
Thank you. Judge Rankin."
All right, take this to the jury. Let the record also reflect that we immediately called for attorneys Shacklee and Goemann upon receipt of this memo. It's been 25 minutes, and I see no reason to wait any longer to send the jury this response.
Appellant argues that his counsel should have been consulted by the trial court before the note went back to the jurors and that a more appropriate response to the note would have simply been that "the document is not in evidence."
"Any Discussion with the trial Judge relating to the trial should be conducted only in the presence of all counsel." Johnson v. United States, 544 A.2d 270, 273 (D.C. 1988) (internal quotation marks omitted) (quoting Clifton v. United States, 363 A.2d 299, 301 (D.C. 1976)). While some ex parte communications between Judge and jury regarding non-substantive matters may be harmless, this court has held that ex parte communication between Judge and jury "raises a strong inference of reversible error." Etheredge v. District of Columbia, 635 A.2d 908, 924 (D.C. 1993). The communication at issue here is subject to harmless error analysis, and "the party seeking affirmance must demonstrate that the error was harmless." Id.
Here, the Judge should have waited for counsel for appellant to return before sending the response back to the jury, but we hold that the error was, nonetheless, harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Winestock v. United States, 429 A.2d 519, 529 (D.C. 1981). Unlike Etheredge, the Judge's ex parte communication with the jury was on the record, and thus we are able to review the statements of the trial court to the jury. The trial Judge was correct in stating that the case memo was not in evidence. Moreover, the testimony concerning the memo to which the trial Judge alluded simply consisted of Officer Gingrich testifying that he recalled that the papering assistant included appellant's statement in his papering notes. We are satisfied that there was no prejudice here.
Accordingly, the judgments on appeal are hereby Affirmed.

Check Valves What adds up to make the perfect Check Valve? Cracking at low pressure, remaining completely open during low flows, and lightning fast closing capabilities are all part of the equation. What's unique about Check Valves is that less is often more. For instance, our Hy-grade Check Valves have machined the flapper and shaft into one piece, which means no bushings, nuts, bolts, or hinge pins. By eliminating the components that tend wear and loosen after repetitive use, you minimize the chance... (read more)

Thanks for helping!
A very friendly club. The Riverview Bistro has good food at very reasonable prices. Friendly and helpful staff make it a pleasant experience for travellers.
food was of high quality, and reasonably priced.
service was good and overall restaurant area was comfortable and clean
The food was outstanding,( not your normal club food) A great selection to choose from.
The staff courteous and well dressed.
It is a very clean Club & you felt very welcome.
I travel a lot and always check out the local clubs. The food at Club Dubbo is so far above the norm it deserves a mention. The view was great too.
I have stopped here for dinner while on business in Dubbo a number of times now and the experience has always been pleasant. It's a typical bistro type setup with ample seating and good bistro type food. They seem to have specials for each day of the week, adding value for money on every occasion I've been there. The service...
The dining room was roomy and not too noisy with a pleasant outlook. We found the quality of food good, fresh, with a large selection of bistro type meals. Well priced and friendly.
Good family Bistro - lamb shanks special always a hit for me & home made Bread & Butter pudding again a firm favorite . Kids meals ok & came with a rainbow paddle pop
The fish, chicken breast and vegetables tend to all be just that bit overcooked. Best of the offering was quite a good fresh ceasar salad.
We walked across to the Club from The Able Tasman Motel for our evening meal. Even though the restaurant was busy, the service was friendly and efficient. My lamb shanks, with roast potatoes and beautifully, but plainly cooked vegetables was superb, as was my partner's sausages with onion sauce with the same accompaniments as I had. It is not "fine...
We had a lovely family dinner here on a Sunday night. The Sunday roast was one of the best we've had. The service was friendly and quick. The food was excellent and well-priced. The location is great, with a picturesque view over Dubbo city and the Macquarie River.
We would highly recommend this for a good, honest and fun meal.

"Bus Trip" Copenhagen Tourist Trap Tip by mattalthor
Copenhagen Tourist Traps: 74 reviews and 63 photos
The coach tour is misleading if you get the all inclusive ticket. What it dont say is some of the sites are covered by boat, which you catch after the bus trip. Many people on my trip had already done the boat trip, so had effectively paid for this trip again. The people werent happy but the bus people didnt car. And half the trip was spent stopped at places rather than touring.
Unique Suggestions: If you do it, do the cheapest version
Fun Alternatives: Do everything by boat and foor

text: I'm currently on my 3rd restore for 2.0.1, which hasn't even been released for a month! In 1.1.4 jailbrake, I wasn't restoring that often. Get this: I haven't even jailbroken 2.0. In the jailbrake, all you had to do was replace a folder or file. Now with 2.0, you have to restore if something goes wrong, and I only have USB 1.0, which means 5 hours+ for all my music movies and photos! Now I'm wondering if this is just happening to me: You open an app, and it doesn't open, and the iPod reboots and is stuck on the boot screen. DON'T SAY "LOOK AT ____ TUT" I'VE TRIED EVERY TUTORIAL! I've restored every day for the past 3 days, and are very sick and tired! The only reason I'm sticking with 2.0 is because I've spent about $50 on apps, which were good, until I started restoring every day! Here is the very worst part: I LOSE ALL MY BACKUP DATA! That's right, even game's backup data. That means all the thing's I've recorded, accomplished...etc, are GONE!

Let us begin by saying that this guide to the best Paris restaurants is obviously in no way meant to be an exhaustive list. There is no such thing. This is meant to be a mix of new and not so new places that we think make up an excellent list of places you need to eat.
As is the case with any of our guides, we hope that you'll find this to be a useful reference, whether you're planning a short trip or permanent life escape to the (second) greatest city on earth. We were led to many of these places by two excellent resources, Paris By Mouth and Le Fooding. Get started with our recommendations below, and then head to either one of those experts if you need to dive deeper.
The Spots
80 rue de Charonne
Thanks to its status as the hottest/best restaurant in Paris for several years now, Septime is damn near impossible to get into. That means calling for a reservation well in advance of your trip is essential. But once you do get a table, you'll be blown away by the ingredient-driven cuisine and excellent wine list. The people here are nice too, so feel free to try out a few of those French words you've just added to your vocabulary. Actually, don't.
32 rue Saint-Maur
Le Servan
One of our favorite little bistros in all of Paris, and we're not alone in that sentiment. Opened in 2013 on a residential street in the 11th (that's where all the cool food is), Le Servan is a neighborhood spot that's also a must visit on your next trip. The food is rooted in classic Frenchiness, but you'll often find unexpected flavors like Thai chili in your dish of mussels or cuttlefish with green mango. Hit this for lunch and you'll be happy.
80 rue de Charonne
Yes, one of the best restaurants in Paris is named after a tomato-clam juice mix that is sold at WalMart. Which makes sense, as it's probably America's greatest export. Owned and operated by the very same people behind Septime, Clamato is another must-have restaurant experience. The menu is almost entirely made up of food from the sea, and every dish is a perfect example of simplicity and creativity coming together to make an impression you won't forget. It's a great spot for dinner, but we also like it for lunch on a day in which you have few other plans. Get a bottle of something sparkling (and natural of course) and start with a dozen oysters and whatever else looks fresh.
3 rue Jouye-Rouve
Le Baratin
We're not big on the whole "go to this place just because Anthony Bourdain did" thing, but it is true that Anthony Bourdain visited Le Baratin during one of his episodes of The Layover. But the more important point to be made is that Le Baratin is a place where Parisian chefs eat. Owner Raquel Corina is a bit of a legend in the local restaurant community, and her food is simple and homey and exactly what you want to eat when you're in Paris. It's a bit of a trek up to the 20th from wherever you're likely to be staying, but it's 100% worth the trip.
43 Rue des Petites Écuries
Vivant Table
Well known restaurateur Pierre Jancou opened Vivant in 2012 in a space that was once a store that sold rare birds. The walls are still decorated with amazing art noveau tiles depicting those birds, which makes for an interesting and beautiful little room in which to consume amazing locally sourced food and natural wines. Pierre has since moved on to another new project (the man gets around), but Vivant remains a quality place to spend some time.
44 rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud
Restaurant Astier
Restaurant Astier is exactly the kind of restaurant that we imagine we'd frequent all the time if we lived in Paris. And we imagine that a lot. This French bistro serves excellent classic French cuisine, but the real star of the show is the cheese plate (pictured). Order the 39€ special menu, and that thing will eventually get dropped off at your table with a couple of knives. You eat what you want, and then do your best not to pass out. We recommend hitting Astier for lunch, and then taking a long, fromage-fueled walk down to Le Marais.
11 bis rue Amelie
For some reason, Reed has received virtually no press in Paris, despite it being a very good and very charming little restaurant. The owner, Catherine Reed, is a Canadian who has been living and cooking in Paris for decades, and she runs her spot near the Eiffel Tower essentially by herself. Make a reservation for dinner and Catherine will be cooking, serving, and cleaning up after your mess. It's basically like being invited into her home for dinner, and it's an experience you probably won't forget. Catherine also puts on a cooking class in the restaurant, where you'll learn to cook a few things, drink some wine, and then eat your work. Call or email for details.
41 Rue du Temple
Grand Cœur
This recently opened Le Marais restaurant sits in an amazing little courtyard just off one of those amazing little cobblestone Le Marais streets. The room is beautiful, and it's a great spot for lunch or dinner and a few drinks after you finish cruising around.
5-6 rue du Nil
Frenchie Bar à Vins
Most anyone you ask will have Frenchie on their list of best restaurants in Paris. That usually means that reservations are impossible to secure, and it also often means that by the time you actually get a seat, you're so hyped up on the place that it will inevitably let you down a little bit. In our opinion, there are too many great restaurants in this town to get stressed out over a reservation at Frenchie. That's why their wine bar is such a beautiful thing. At Frenchie Bar à Vins, the food is just as good as it is at the main spot across the street, but they do not take reservations. So you can just stroll up, order a bottle of wine from their incredible selection, and dive into a few excellent things to eat.
129 avenue Parmentier
Le Chateaubriand
Le Chateaubriand is by now an essential Paris restaurant, and it's one that you need to make time for while you're there. The environment is casual and the €60 tasting menu is seasonal and distinctly French, but also very interesting. The term some use for such a thing is "bistronomy," but we can't really say that out loud. You probably shouldn't either, especially while you're in Paris. A reservation at Chateaubriand is always recommended, as you can book for the first seating as long as you call a few weeks in advance. If that's filled up, you'll end up having to wait next door at their wine bar, Le Dauphin, for your table. There are worse things in life.
131 avenue Parmentier
Le Dauphin
Much like Frenchie Bar à Vins, Le Dauphin is the wine bar counterpart to a famous French restaurant. Le Chateaubriand is next door, and this place is meant to be a sort of casual little brother with food from the same famous chef. It's a cool, all marble space, and it's always filled with cool French people (so…French people), many of whom are waiting for their table next door. A visit to Le Dauphin is definitely not the same experience as eating at Le Chateaubriand, so don't think that the two are interchangeable. But we do like this place for a glass of wine and a few bites from their tapas-style menu before you head out to your next destination for the night
133 Avenue Victor Hugo
Le Stella
Finding a decent meal on a Sunday night in Paris can be a real pain in the ass, as most everything is closed. Our move every time is to hit up Le Stella. This classic bistro is a true local hang, in what is essentially the Upper East Side of Paris. You'll definitely see at least one lady in a fur coat holding a tiny dog at the table, and probably a few grey haired French guys in tweed jackets. The menu is super-traditional, featuring things like escargots, tête de cochon, steak au poivre, and an incredible beef tartare. Le Stella is also known for its fresh seafood – specifically oysters. They're best consumed from one of the giant towers you can order, along with some other delicious ocean dwelling creatures. That's how you do Sunday night in this town.
9 carrefour de l'Odéon
Le Comptoir du Relais
This well known spot in Saint-Germain should be on your radar if only for the fact that you'll probably end up in Saint-Germain at some point and you're going to end up hungry. Le Comptoir is a good spot for a quick late afternoon lunch and a little bit of uniquely Paris bistro vibe. Also note, it's smaller than the smallest studio apartment.
10 bis rue Servandoni
Au Bon Saint Pourçain
The man behind the legendary wine bar Racines (and the Tribeca restaurant of the same name) recently bought and revamped this restaurant on in Saint-Germain. Put it on your list if you're staying in the area, or if you're looking for an excellent meal and a good bottle of wine. So yeah, just put it on your list.
34 rue des Rosiers
L'As du Fallafel
Here's your move: spend the day cruising around Le Marais, and then hit L'As du Fallafel for some grub. This little spot turns out some incredible falafel, kind of like Mamoun's here in New York – but better. You want the €5 falafel special, and you're probably going to eat it on the street.
22 rue des Ecouffes
Not looking to fight the crowds for a falafel? Hit Miznon, for a pita sandwich. This casual restaurant comes to Paris from a famous Israeli chef, who opened the original Miznon in Tel Aviv. The menu changes frequently, but the lamb and cauliflower are our favorite versions of these excellent sandwiches. Miznon is also open Sunday and Monday, which is good to know since so much else in Paris is closed on those days.
34 Rue Saint Dominique
Our pick for a white table cloth experience, should you be looking to have one of those in this town. Garance is an upscale restaurant on the Left Bank that doesn't feel the slightest bit stuffy. It's a small room with a set menu (70€), and a wine list with great things by the bottle and the glass that'll keep you occupied for a very long time. It's not a bad idea for lunch after your visit to the Eiffel Tower either, assuming you're looking to see one of those in this town.
45 rue Oberkampf
Aux Deux Amis
An excellent late night spot in Oberkampf, which is where you'll probably end up if you're out late in Paris. Aux Deux Amis is a classic French bistro, but the location and hours of operation make it one that's always lively and full of young Parisians. The plates are small and shareable and the prices are reasonable. Just know that it will be packed. Always.

STRATFORD - Skunks forced Lordship Elementary School in Stratford to close today.
Officials say skunks and possibly raccoons are underneath some of the classrooms.
Exterminators were working to fix the problem this morning, but the traps set up outside of a portable classroom to capture the animals were empty.
School officials are deodorizing and fanning out the classrooms. They say the stench should be gone over the weekend and are hopeful the skunks will be as well.
The assistant superintendent of schools says the school will reopen Monday and students will head back to class.

Who makes your yarn?
Head SpaceCadet
Why SpaceCadet? When I was a kid and I'd do something dumb (the way kids do), my dad used to call me "space cadet". It was always said with love, tinged with exasperation. There was a lot of love in the house while I was growing up, but I also did a lot of dumb things. Eventually the nickname started to stick, and I began to feel like I really was a space cadet. Sometimes I still do.
So I decided a long time ago that when I finally broke out of the mould of ordinary work to do something creative — something I wanted to be proud of — I was going to name my project "SpaceCadet". I would baptise that nickname with a whole new meaning.
I love what I do. I love creating colours, creating yarns, and giving my customers something beautiful to feed their creative juices. And so I can say, at last, that I am truly proud to be the SpaceCadet.
Stephanie has been fascinated by fiber ever since she first took spinning lessons at the age of 11. She taught herself to knit at 19, went back to spinning (and actually got the hang of it) ten years later and, along the way, picked up a bit of experience in weaving, a smidge of crochet, and a degree in Textiles and Clothing. But it was when she began dyeing that she felt she'd really found her calling. She has lived half her life in the US and the other half in the UK, which explains her spelling.
She lives in Pittsburgh, PA, with her husband and two daughters. She's SpaceCadetCreates on Ravelry, @SpaceCadetYarn on Twitter, and you can contact her here.
Assistant Dyer
Jade has a never-ending positive attitude and an excellent eye for colour (and she'll gladly tell you she wasn't hired for her math skills). An art education major at university, she brings all her artistic background to the dyepots, to her doodles on the notes she keeps during meetings… and to her forearms, which she uses as notepads when she runs out of paper. A knitter since 2006, Jade's always got something on her needles — and that something usually ends up as a sample in our booth! She's Pittsburgh born and bred, and spends her days herding two wee daughters and a husband.
Communications Officer
It's Jill you're emailing when you contact us at email@example.com. She's quiet, calm and meticulous about details — and we couldn't ask for a genuinely nicer person to answer your questions and manage the club subscriptions. You can ask her anything about SpaceCadet and, if she doesn't know the answer off the top of her head, she'll go find out for you! Jill's mad for purple, cables, and zebras, but usually combines only two out the three. A native of Erie, she now lives in Pittsburgh with her husband and son.

Find out the ultimate dos and don'ts for throwing a fabulous holiday party from the expert.
One of Canada's most prestigious butlers, server to the stars - even, once, to the Queen! - and general manager of Azuridge Estate Hotel in Alberta, Clarence McLeod tells us the dos and don'ts of a sovereign-worthy soiree.
Credits: istockphoto
DO have a seating plan for any dinner party of more than six.
DON'T seat quiet people beside each other. When making your plan, always start with the most dynamic person in the centre and then alternate between reserved and outgoing guests. Match up people who have similar interests to ensure ease of conversation.
DON'T hold up dinner if a guests has let you know they'll be late.
DO wait 20 minutes if a late guest hasn't checked in yet.
DO delegate, even if it's simply asking someone to answer the door so you won't have to come out with flour on your face. All hosts need help, no matter how organized or talented they are.
DON'T pair fancy dishware with everyday options. When you go with your best, stick with it. Use fine china with crystal, not glass, and silverware instead of stainless steel.
DO layer your place settings. Stack dishes in the order they'll be used and have cutlery for each course. Unsure of which way to go? Start from the outside with your first course and work your way in to the last.
DO ask to take guests' cocktail glasses before dinner starts. Having those extra tumblers cluttering the table will ruin the aesthetic of your place settings. Plus, you've already carefully chosen which wines will highlight the flavours of your menu, and a guest's vodka soda might compromise that.

I Do Now I Don't helps consumers sell their engagement rings and other jewelry.
Breaking up may be hard to do, but one e-commerce site is easing the blow by helping ex-couples get a little cash from their failed relationships. Web site I Do Now I Don't has been buying and selling used engagement rings in its marketplace since since 2007. Now the start-up retailer, which has expanded to include other jewelry and wedding dresses, is moving in two new directions: buying and reselling diamonds on behalf of clients and expanding internationally, says founder Josh Opperman.
"We get tons of international inquiries all the time but we can't really handle it now," Opperman says. "We need some kind of office or presence abroad."
Coordinating international deals adds complications with foreign customs, duties and taxes, Opperman says. And there's also risk in shipping and authenticating such valuable items as $10,000 diamonds that come from overseas. I Do Now I Don't is located in the heart of New York City's diamond district, so when items come in it's easy to hop next door and give them to an independent authentication company to check against their descriptions, he says. The retailer, which holds sellers' items in escrow until they are verified, processes about 150 jewels a month. Getting a ring appraised, sold and delivered to its buyer takes a week on average, he says.
Another, perhaps simpler, growth avenue for the company is I Do Now I Don't's instant offer program, which has been growing since it began about a year ago and now represents roughly 25% of transactions. For customers who don't want to make listings and wait for a sale, which could take a few months or a year, I Do Now I Don't offers to buy items and sell them to jewelry wholesalers and retailers, only holding the inventory long enough to authenticate it, Opperman says.
I Do Now I Don't brought in around $25,000 in sales its first year, Opperman says, and this year he expects sales to reach close to $3 million. The company takes a 15% cut of the sale price, he says, which ranges from $100 to about $100,000—once a customer listed a $5 million ring, but it never sold. Of the 2,000 items listed on the site, about 90% are engagement rings or wedding bands, he says. Most buyers get about 50% off what they'd pay for the same rings elsewhere, he says.
Although Opperman was inspired to start the site when his own fiancée left him and he couldn't sell back the engagement ring he bought for a good price, not all customers list their items for tragic reasons, he says. Sometimes they want to upgrade, or they inherited something they don't like or they are remarrying, he says.
In five years, only about three shipments have been lost or damaged beyond fixing, he says, though each time the jewelry was insured via FedEx for the full price. About two items a month come in different than described, he says. Sometimes, the seller didn't know the listing was incorrect. When this happens, I Do Now I Don't contacts the buyer and asks if she still wants the item, if she'd like to re-negotiate the price with the seller first or if she'd prefer a full refund.
Occasionally, Opperman says he's had to have an awkward call with a divorcee to let her know that her ex-husband did not, in fact, buy her a genuine 5-carat diamond ring as he'd claimed. At least that might make her feel a bit better about her decision to move on.
