Seasons 52 - Schaumburg
Online Reservations
everything healthy under 475 calories and delicious
I took my friend here for her birthday. Waiter was patient, kind, helpful and funny. We shared the grilled chicken skewers with apple slaw - soooo yummy! She had the trout with roasted potatoes and vegetables. I has cedar grilled salmon and vegetables. Both were delightful. Dessert is served in mini cups. My friend felt special with the special dessert tree with candle they bought out. I had fresh fruit and she had the pumpkin pie and expresso mocha mousse. We enjoyed it immensely. Will go back!
Great place! Healthy food, well prepared with great ambience and service. My favorite go to spot for business lunches and dinners as well as a girls night..
Always great food. Service ok but too many people in the restaurant the evening we were there.
I was very impressed with the Hostess who was very warm and engaging, The food was good as usual - the restaurant was very busy but food arrived hot.
Overall experience was good and as expected. We had one meal served that was not hot enough, apparently sat under the heat lamp too long. The meal was replaced piping hot and credited to our bill. Wait staff here is very good and they are expected to know their product. Challenge them with a question about a dish and they'll surprise you with their knowledge.
My wife and I went to Seasons 52 for my birthday and we had a great experience. They gave us a couple glasses of complimentary champagne and a birthday card at the end of our meal. I like the fact that the menu is always changing based on the season. I had the quail and my wife had the filet mignon. We also ordered the tuna and avocado sushi roll as an appetizer, a cup of thai shrimp soup, and salad. All were great. They had a large selection of wine choices and the server was very helpful with selecting an appropriate wine for our meal. We will definitely come back.
I have dined here on several occasions and have always been very satisfied with the food and the service. I even do carry out once in a while. The thing I like most about Seasons 52 is that their menu is very different from the norm. They rely on seasonal, local food as much as possible. I have never been disappointed in a meal there.
Season 52 is a wonderful place for people of all types; vegan, vegetarian and gluten free. It is hard to chose a restaurant where people can have fun and not worry about dietary needs. They are focused on each other and enjoying the company that surrounds us. Their ever changing menu each season is a bonus indeed. They use flavors that are complimentary to each season. When they switch out foods such as Salmon, they are aware of the challenges in providing fresh food with a taste that can be enjoyable. They do an exceptional job.
And our waitress was very patient with us even though we were extremely slow in ordering everything.
We love this restaurant. Love that the portions are perfect. Love the seasonal menu. LOVE the flatbread and the perfectly delicious and portioned desserts. The only negative is that there is ambient noise pretty much all the time even in a half full restaurant, but we can have a conversation so it's not keeping us from returning. Bring friends and family. You will love this place.
Enjoyable- great seasonal food choices- offered gluten free items- a bit loud for conversation.
Nice mixture of flavors in their food - They have an excellent wine selection and make great martinis. The service is excellent the value for what you get...is about what you can reasonably eat; probably no doggy bags to take home! --- Its truly excellent for lunch they have fantastic salads!
Seasons 52 never disappoints us when we go. The food is always delicious and our waitress suggested a different way to have the cedar plank salmon prepared which ended up being divine. The only thing is that even with a reservation, we still had a 20-30 minute wait after our reservation time on a Friday night.
We had a wonderful table, great food. Expensive but worth it.
I can never get tired of this place! Great food! Great service!
Delicious food, good service, and great atmosphere. The music is loud enough to hear but not intrusive.
Very happy with not only the menu but the extra lengths they go to make sure you are comfortable and enjoying your dinner!
My firm really enjoys taking customers, vendors, and sales reps to this restaurant. It's the perfect place for an upscale lunch meeting.
Took my father here for the 1st time. He's a big soup lover, we order the zesty black bean soup and the Ahi tuna tacos. He absolutely enjoyed his very healthy lunch, he'll be back again.
Had a very nice experience this visit. The last one wasn't so good. Glad things were better as the food is so healthy.
Don't get fooled by the 475 calories. The food was delicious and the portion is perfect. Leave room for one of the desserts.
Lunch or Dinner Seasons 52 always delivers. Healthy, fresh food in right size portions. I just scheduled a group work lunch here the other day and the service was fantastic. Likewise I've had romantic dinners that were cozy and quiet.
I have eaten here several times, and always think the food is outstanding. Extremly flavorful and portions are good sized yet not over 500 calories per entree. They always have a live singer too. Just overall a great time with great food. One of my favorite things about this place is the creation of the mini desserts. The Chocolate/Peanut Butter one is amazing.
This was our first time visiting this restaurant. Everything was top notch. Drinks were made well (and generous) at the bar while waiting for a table. There was someone playing piano at a tasteful volume, and it was busy but not overly crowded. We got out table right at our reservation time. Service was excellent... it was attentive, but never rushed. Food was delicious. The menu is altered with the changing seasons, and we were still on the "autumn" menu. With that in mind, they will keep us coming back with the changing menus.... four times a year!
Overall, we had a great evening out at Seasons52. During the 10 minute wait for a table to clear, the restaurant offered a free wine and flatbread flight to guests in the lobby. Haven't seen this before, and it really improved spirits. The service was solid but not spectacular throughout. It was clear that servers and others worked across teams to clear tables and refill beverages. Nice touch. The filet mignonette and Mahi were really done well and presentation was solid. The small desserts they are known for capped it all off well. Despite being part of a chain, it is one of the best restaurants in the area. Can't wait to go back!
It was our first time at Season's 52. My husband and I were going out for a special event and wanted a nice place that both of us could eat at, somewhere with both a regular and vegan menu. The food was really good and it was a nice experience for our first time.
We were celebrating my daughter's 50th birthday. It started off so well with the birthday card from the RESTAURANT. Imagine that - a first time ever for me. The server was terrific and not pushy at all. The food was marvelous. when they brought the mini deserts with a candle for my daughter and gave her a free mini it was so nice. We all had a wonderful experience and my kids who have never been there were determined to return. It is a lovely environment and a perfect evening. Thanks
We dined at Seasons 52 with friends who have specific dietary needs and out of town family members for an early dinner. Our party of nine had an amazing private table at the front of the restaurant, which was ideal with four young children (2 6 yo, and 2 3 yo) who were very excited to see each other. Our waiter was terrific, and treated us just as if we were a table of adults. We enjoyed the food so much! After ahi tuni apps, the children ate grilled chicken tenders and most of the adults chose fish - either salmon or mahi mahi. The food was hot and seasoned perfectly for everyone. Even the side dishes were a huge hit! From the potatoes to the yams to the golden beets - it was all great. My husband asked me to call to get a yam recipe!
We had an extremely charming and attentive waiter who I believe was astonished that we'd made it to 40 years of marriage. The food was good and service impeccable. The musician was really quite good this evening and noise level where we were wasn't as bad as on prior visits.
We were here celebrating a personal milestone. What a wonderful experience. I love the mushroom flatbread. My mom ordered the steak and onion soup and it was nice and hearty. Allison is a great server... always attentive and ready to answer any questions that we had regarding the seasonal menu items. Definitely love all the mini desserts... I don't feel guilty eating one since it is a nicely portioned. Will definitely be back.
We have yet to be disappointed with Seasons 52. We eat here at least once every two months - more often when we can. The Scallops are my favorites. My wife had a turkey burger, which she loved. This time we also tried the Steak and Wild Mushroom Flatbread appetizer which was also outstanding. I enjoyed the beef and mushroom soup as well. Their mini-desserts are always a pleasant way to conclude the meal. My favorite is the chocolate peanut butter swirl. My wife chose the key lime dessert. Anyone who has never tried this place is in for a most pleasant surprise!
I visited this restaurant many many times and food is excelent! Servece is great too. Only last time we had a waiter who was probably new and you could tell that he had no experiance and knowledge.
The reservation system worked as advertized, greeters were friendly and prompt, Mark the waiter was attentive, intuitive, and always there when we needed him. This was an excellent experience, must experience!
We had a wonderful supper and celebrated a very special occasion. The menu is excellent and service tremendous. Thank you.
This is the place to dine - great food - excellent service-reasonable prices.
One of my favorite spots for all occasions. This was the first time I ate a holiday meal in a restaurant and I felt they did a terrific job.
Seasons 52 is one of our favorite Friday night date night places. We like to hang out at the bar for drinks and one of their signature flatbread pizzas. It's one of the bigger bars in the area. We go later in the evening and there is always several bar stools open. The service is excellent and the food never disappoints. We went the for their Thanksgiving special and it was delicious! They have free valet to boot.
This is an experience worth savoring. The food is prepared in the most natural methods & the service is knowledgable, pleasant and prompt. Highly recommend the salads (yes) & the dessert!
We have eaten here before and again we were not disappointed. The food was prepared to our liking and the service was friendly and attentive. We have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.
I used Open Table to book this reservation for 20 with 2 high chairs on Thanksgiving night for a 1:00 PM lunch on Black Friday. I thought, "There's no way it will happen." To my surprise and pleasure, the reservation went through and on Friday I got a call con firming the reservation. We had great food and service. My entire family found something they liked, and I would definitely recommend Seasons 52.
The food is very good. Service was also excellent. We were in bar/lounge area, very noisy. We couldn't hear the music most of the time.
We had reservations for 4 at 6:00, but were delayed downtown after a concert and holiday traffic. I called to let them know we would be late and the hostess told me "...thank you for calling, we will hold your table and drive safely...". As promised, when we arrived, our table was waiting. It made for a really wonderful end to an already great day to start our holiday celebration!
Seassons 52 is always my favorite go to restaurant for any occasion. The food and atmosphere is perfect for any occasion!
They ran 45 minutes behind on reservations but graciously made it worth our wait with complimentary course. Server was a little unsure of herself and the dishes we asked about. I love the healthy concept.
We had excellent food and our waiter John D was amazing. He took a lot of time to explain the menu and the specials even thought the restaurant was very busy. The staff works together very well and all our food was very prompt.
We have eaten here several times, as a couple, two couples and four couples. Each time, great! Our server, Sarah, was excellent - friendly, attentive, helpful with menu suggestions and accurate descriptions of the individual selections. Our lunches were delicious. The quality of the ingredients was exceptional, as always. One of our very favorite restaurants and one we often recommend.
I was there for lunch. The server greets asking if you have time constraints, which is nice for a lunch. We did not. Our service was excellent. The food was very good. The restaurant is very busy at lunch time so I'd suggest a reservation. Great dining option for a nice casual lunch in the area.
There is NOTHING not to like about this dining experience. in MHO this upscale restaurant ranks among the best for food..service and price. our server, Gabriella, was more than informative and helpful making suggestions and her service flawless..
This was the 3rd time that my group of 6 has had the pleasure of dining at Seasons 52. We are always pleased with the friendliness of the staff, the food and wine selections, and the overall experience. We all chose something different to eat and enjoyed sharing each dish amongst our group - all of them were prepared perfectly and equally delicious. It's always a pleasure, and we look forward to returning.

You are the top Republican in congress fighting for small business you're giving small business of voice that this small -- read watch interactive website that she put up.
We know from this latest report that small business owners had even more worries than they did last year what are their chief complaint.
Well the biggest thing is saying is very consistently what you're hearing -- the surveys on the they're concerned about the economy overall.
And taxes.
-- -- a tax hike now coming now I'm not out of this administration.
They're also concerned about the regulatory environment out there and you know how health care is going to affect them.
And then the debt ceiling which continues to you to go up and and the overall debt and their being looked at the state courts -- -- very concerned about all of those things.
In its current budget battle do you think Washington has the best interests.
-- small business at heart.
Well I hope so but the unfortunate part is -- we're seeing -- in administration.
It continues to attack small business and they're looking at small business to pay for all of these apps.
-- spending sprees that are taking place Washington has a spending profits not revenue problem.
It's a spending problem and that's -- small businesses are concerned about we hear about it every single week.
And you point out that many small businesses don't have lawyers -- lobbyists and focus on this new environment whether it's regulation -- health care.
The list goes on and on and that's a serious problem a serious disadvantage for them cracks.
Exactly and.
You know they just don't have the resources that a lot of large businesses do when it comes to trying to express -- concerns that's one of the reasons why we're trying to provide that voice for small businesses.
I'm when it comes to by the federal government and -- the -- advocate for small business side here in Washington.
So when you look at our ballooning national debt and the battle currently over the deficit what's the best outcome that would be -- small business.
The best outcome would be for the federal government to reduce spending unless you -- there is so wait what gasoline half inch -- -- because.
We are.
Not getting enough -- asked to Wear those tough -- should come.
See I think the -- cut should come from everything.
But definitely we have to have some entitlement reform that's going to have to take place.
You've seen explosion and in night expenditures in all areas of government.
And it's going to have to be action back this assault understood in one of the things we're going to be doing -- -- all the committees are going to be you know.
Is -- those areas and our respective jurisdictions which will be -- -- on small business but how do you feel about the meat cleaver if you will cuts.
Regarding the sequestration in defense in particular.
Well it's gonna happen unless the president wants come to talk to us about meaningful cuts the house passed T bills now to try to divert some of the worst.
Outcomes when it comes sequestration this president just basically says now.
And as -- to talk to us he needs to come talk to us we get some meaningful.
Spending reforms out there otherwise it is going to happen and it's going to be very tough on a lot of different areas.
Let's circle back to small business because one silver lining in this national small business association -- an economic report.
That -- -- interview today congressman is that lending appears to be -- With 73% of small business reporting the ability to garner adequate financing.
Is that enough to rehabilitate to your satisfaction this industry.
That's -- small desserts are expanding what we're seeing is a lot of small businesses aren't expanding because of their concerns.
About the economy -- it's very good news.
When it comes to access to capital -- a small businesses moving forward but the majority those businesses they're just gonna wait and see and that's what they're telling us we're just gonna wait and see what happens.

Five Common MMO-C Misconceptions:
1. If I'm burnt out on WoW, the game must be less exciting than it was in BC/Wrath.
2. If Guild Wars 2 can do it, WoW should have done it 4-9 years ago.
3. Anything I don't get free is another way to milk the players for money.
4. "Don't hate me because I disagree" is a good way to shut down dissenting arguments.
5. GC is the root of all WoW's problems. Now that he is gone the game will be perfect again.
Rest in peace, Thathung. You were an inspiration to us all.

"But the real thing about Draenor is that it's a very kind of savage place, it's kind of like Australia where 11/10 things will kill you, giants and poisonous plants and everything. I think it's going to be really cool." ~ Ray Cobo, WoW Senior Game Producer
Well, for once I agree with you Trassk. Seems like Blizzard took a big dump on one (of the two) core races of the franchise. If they don't understand that this is a stupid move that only bites them in the ass then I think Blizzard lost all touch with reality. Past this point it wouldn't really matter anymore if Orcs are even a playable race anymore, they're basically all exterminated. Playing an Orc character is defying reality.
At least Hellscream was an Orc.... R.I.P. Horde 1994-2013

We're happy to present this article from our partner site Yahoo! Shine:
Yes, that's a cat on a toilet. And yes, he does look pretty pissed about it. The whole Internet has just discovered the Litter Kwitter, a potty training system for cats that was—up until this point—known only to a rare breed of ambitious cat owners.
Created by a woman who toilet-trained her own cat, the Litter Kwitter works like this: You put a color-coded litter-filled ring with a very small hole on your toilet bowl. As your cat learns to jump on the porcelain throne every time he needs to relieve himself, you switch to a ring with a larger hole. This goes on until your animal suddenly realizes he's standing on a toilet bowl, praying he doesn't fall in.

It's great idea, but according to the people who write reviews on Amazon about cat toilet training, it's not that easy.
Please take a moment to enjoy some of the comments posted about the Litter Kwitter, because they are brilliant:

Victoria Abril Movies
One of Europe's most popular and respected actresses, Victoria Abril has made her mark in more than 60 films produced in France, Italy, and her native Spain. First introduced to American audiences through the work of Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, who directed her in the controversial Atame! (Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, 1990), the sensual, brown-eyed actress has gained a Stateside cult following, but remains thoroughly European in her choice of films and the roles she plays.
Abril first earned wide recognition in Spain as a 14-year-old model on the popular television shows Uno, dos, tres, responda otra vez and 625 lineas. Born Victoria Merida Rojas in Malaga on July 4, 1959, she began studying as a ballet dancer at the age of seven, but following her celebrated turn on TV, segued into acting in the mid-'70s. Abril made her major screen debut in Vincente Aranda's Cambio de Sexo, a 1976 drama that cast her as an effeminate young man who undergoes a sex change. That same year, the actress made her first English-language film, Robin and Marian, in which she played the relatively minor role of a Spanish queen. She went on to do prolific work for the rest of the 1970s and throughout the 1980s, and in 1990 had her first collaboration with Almodóvar, for whom she starred as a drug-addicted porn actress taken hostage by an obsessive fan (Antonio Banderas) in Atame!. The film was a success in Spain -- where Abril earned a Goya Best Actress nomination for her performance -- and proved to be a controversial sensation in the States, where its plot outraged certain feminist groups. Abril collaborated with Almodóvar on two more films, Tacones Lejanos (1991) -- in which she played the estranged daughter of an actress (Marisa Paredes), and Kika (1993) -- in which she had a supporting role as an over-the-top tabloid TV program hostess.
Abril scored particular critical acclaim as a darkly amorous landlady in Vincente Aranda's Amantes (1991), winning a Best Actress Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival for her performance. Further acclaim came her way with Nadie Hablara de Nosotras Cuando Hayamos Muerto (1995), for which her portrayal of an alcoholic prostitute earned her a Goya and a Best Actress award at the San Sebastian Film Festival. A starring role in the French romantic comedy Gazon Maudit (1995), which cast her as a housewife torn between her unfaithful husband and a butch female truck driver, further increased Abril's popularity. She continued to star in films that emphasized her playful, flamboyant sexuality, maintaining her reputation as one of Europe's most colorful and vibrant performers. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

My Father, My Mother, My Brothers and My Sisters
In this sly comedy of manners, Anne (Victoria Abril) is a free-spirited single mother whose three children were all fathered by different men, none of whom are currently in contact with Anne and none of whom know that Anne bore their offspring. Anne's son Victor (Pierre-Jean Cherit) has started asking his mother questions about who his father is and where he's gone; Anne, however, isn't sure just what to tell him, or any of his siblings, about their Dads without things becoming embarrassing. However, when Anne takes the kids on a vacation to Mexico, she realizes she'd better come up with an explanation and quick, since all three of her former beaux happen to be staying at the same resort where Anne and her brood are registered. Mon père, ma mère, mes frères et mes soeurs was the first directorial credit for actress Charlotte de Turckheim, who also appears in the film as Jeanne. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A slacker finds himself dealing with girl trouble he never knew existed in this offbeat comedy set in Iceland. Hlynur (Hilmir Snær Gudnason) is a 28-year-old layabout who lives with his mother, Berglind (Hanna María Karlsdóttir), in a run-down section of Reykjavík. Though he doesn't have a job, Hlynur makes enough off the dole to spend his evenings drinking beer, and has a girlfriend, Hofi (Thrúdur Vilhjálmdóttir), who regards his lack of ambition with a mildly annoyed tolerance. Berglind decides to take in a boarder, Lola Milagros (Victoria Abril), a lovely young woman from Spain who gives dance lessons. Hlynur is instantly captivated with Lola and begins making a play for her, even though she's an open and unapologetic lesbian. In the midst of a drunken New Year's Eve party, Hlynur wears down Lola's resistance, and the two ring in the new year having sex. Lola soon discovers she's pregnant, but Hlynur is startled to learn that Lola and Berglind are now lovers and they intend to raise the child together -- meaning he's not only competing with his mother for the same woman, but that his child will be brought up as his sibling. As if this weren't enough, Hlynur soon learns that Hofi is also carrying his child. 101 Reykjavík was the debut feature from writer/director Baltasar Kormákur, and received an enthusiastic reception at the 2000 Locarno Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Two of Spain's biggest female stars headline this offbeat comedy about the battle of wills between good and evil. Heaven is not getting its fair share of business for the afterlife, so Lola (Victoria Abril), an angel who sings in a nightclub located beyond the pearly gates, is sent to Earth to drum up business by her boss, Marina (Fanny Ardant). Her first prospect is Manny (Demián Bichir), a prizefighter with an injury that could take his life at any time. As Lola tries to claim Manny's soul for the Lord, the wicked Jack Davenport (Gael García Bernal) believes that the Devil deserves the boxer's soul, and he sends one of Hell's waitresses, Carmen (Penélope Cruz), to seal the deal. On Earth, Lola takes the form of Manny's former love and urges him to mend fences with his mother, while seductive Carmen tries to persuade Manny to return to the ring, knowing that another fight would mean his death. While Lola and Carmen wage war over Manny's soul, they maintain their cover by working at a grocery store, where they both learn a few lessons about the pitfalls of earthly capitalism. Meanwhile, Manny is dealing with financial problems of his own -- he owes money to the city's corrupt police commissioner (Emilio Gutiérrez Caba), who is using his strong-arm men to "persuade" Manny to pay up. Released in Europe as Sin Noticias de Dios (which translates as No News From God), Don't Tempt Me was a box-office success in Spain when it was released in late 2001, though it wouldn't reach American theaters until 2003. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A con man finds himself up against an adversary he hasn't the strength to challenge in this crime drama from Spain. Ernesto (Ernesto Alterio) is a man who grew up learning the easier way to get out of trouble was to lie, and over the years, he's built a career out of his gift for twisting the truth as a con man. Teaming up with two experienced grifters, Manco (Manuel Alexandre) and Federico (Federico Luppi), Ernesto is able to pull off a major scam involving the Spanish Army that scores the three a major payday. This should put Ernesto and his partners on Easy Street, but things begin to go sour when Ernesto is reunited with a former girlfriend, Pilar (Victoria Abril). Ernesto is a soft touch for anything that Pilar might suggest, and when she plots a big con for him and his partners, he offers no objections. However, when Manco dies under hazy circumstances and Ernesto's childhood pal Gipsy (Alejandro Casaseca) conveniently appears wanting to take his place, Ernesto begins to suspect that he may be the one being scammed. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The White Knight
Writer-director Vincente Aranda adapted his sweeping historical saga Tirante el Blanco (AKA The White Knight, 2006) from the bestselling European novel by Joanot Martorell. Casper Zafer (La Femme Musketeer) plays the titular soldier, Tirante. Ordered by the Emperor of Byzantium to free Constantinople from the autocratic rule of the Turks, Tirante and his men - who exude the strength and great fighting spirit of the Almogavars - succeed triumphantly - virtually sweeping the Turks aside, and ignoring the fact that the number of warriors in the opposition far exceeds their own count. In the process, Tirante also succeeds in deflowering the illustrious virgin Carmesina, heiress to the empire. The only lingering problem is that Tirante doesn't hail from noble stock. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

With this high-concept, all-star French comedy (it features at least sixteen Gallic marquee names including Michel Blanc and Josiane Balasko), director Jean-Michel Ribes sets out to skewer the pretentiousness of the European art world. It's just a typical, ordinary day at a French art museum, but the cast of characters on display here finds the terrain anything but easy to navigate; they include a mother who literally becomes an art exhibit when her body is coated in plastic and put on display, a minister shocked to his core by artistic displays of sexual organs, a curator suffering from acute botanophobia, a stowaway who hides out in the principal art room, and many other idiosyncratic misfits. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Somerset native Jeanne Cascio directed her choir from Mark Twain Intermediate School in New York as they performed for NBC's TODAY show on Sunday. This choir was chosen as an example of resilience after Hurricane Sandy. The performance will be broadcast between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Christmas day. (submitted photo / December 22, 2012) |
Christmas in Rockefeller Plaza will have local ties to Somerset County this year.
Jeanne Cascio, a Somerset native, conducted her choir from Mark Twain Intermediate School in New York City as they performed for NBC's TODAY show on Sunday. The performance will be broadcast between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Christmas day.
Jeanne Cascio has been teaching at the magnate school located on Coney Island, N.Y., for five years. She is the vocal teacher. The magnate school is for children grades 6th through 8th that are exceptionally gifted in various subjects such as music, math or science. Admission to the school's musical program requires an audition.
The Mark Twain Intermediate School was among the areas that was affected by Hurricane Sandy. Jeanne Cascio said the school suffered electrical and water damage during the storm.
Jeanne Casio explained that the school was approached by the producers because they wanted to showcase a school that was resilient during the hurricane. Jean Cascio said she is happy her students were able to put together a performance in less than two weeks.
"I'm extremely proud of them. They showed a level of professionalism beyond their years," Jeanne Cascio said.
She said this experience is cool for the students who have been through so much. Last year, her 8th grade students performed at Carnegie Hall.
Donna Cascio, mother, is glad to have her daughter home for the holidays. She said they plan to watch the performance together.
"This was something nice and upbeat for the families who were upset after losing possessions and homes during the hurricane. The children were very excited to go to the green-room and get their make-up done," she said.
Jeanne Cascio was a 2008 graduate from Somerset Area School District. During high school, she was a Laurel Arts dancer and a cheerleader.
Mindy Forry, orchestra teacher at Somerset, said she remembers what a joy it was to have Jeanne Cascio playing viola in her orchestra.
"She was such pleasant girl with a genuine desire to learn. It's great to hear one of your former students is doing well," Forry said.
Jeanne Cascio studied music education at New York University, where she graduated magna cum laude.

0-60 MPH in Seven Seconds
World's Most Aerodynamic SUV
The RAV4 EV combines a Tesla designed and produced battery and electric powertrain with Toyota's most popular SUV model. The collaborative team set its sights on optimizing the customer experience. From remote charging options to interior comfort to futuristic interactive displays, the RAV4 EV combines the practical features of a compact SUV with aerodynamic styling and an electric powertrain for the longest EPA estimated driving range rating of any non-luxury EV.
Power and Performance
The RAV4 EV's sophisticated battery and thermal management systems provide consistent vehicle performance in a variety of climates vs. competitor electric vehicles. The liquid-cooled battery is a first for Toyota.
The unique Toyota/Tesla designed cooperative regenerative braking system works to minimize the vehicle's kinetic energy loss during stopping. The system recovers the energy and converts it to electrical energy, which recharges the battery and extends driving range. The vehicle slows down while energy is captured. The addition of cooperative regenerative braking increases driving range by up to 20 percent.
Like all Toyotas, the RAV4 EV comes standard with the STAR Safety System. On this vehicle this includes Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart Stop Technology (SST). RAV4 EV also comes with a complimentary three-year trial subscription to Toyota Safety Connect©, which includes Emergency Assistance, Stolen Vehicle Locator, Roadside Assistance, and Automatic Collision Notification.
There are several safety features that are unique to the RAV4 EV. The battery modules are encased in a structural pack surrounded by a four-sided extruded aluminum enclosure. Large aluminum rocker extrusions act as a structural attachment between the enclosure and the body as well as provide further impact protection. In addition, the chassis is specially designed to help protect the battery and inverter assemblies in the event of a collision. A rigid inverter protection brace bridges the gap between the body front cross member and the front suspension member to mitigate inverter damage by keeping the two members at a set distance from each other during a frontal crash. Special steel ramps built into the front of the undercarriage serve to deflect intrusion into the battery enclosure. In a rear impact, the battery's rear mounting brackets can separate the battery from the body further protecting the battery enclosure from intrusion.
In addition to robust accident protections, the RAV4 EV is designed with multiple systems to help protect and maintain a proper state of charge on the battery. For example, the onboard charger is equipped with a hardware voltage limiter to prevent overcharging the battery. To prevent over discharge, the air conditioning system and driving power will be limited at defined low States of Charge, prompting the driver with a warning in the meter display to plug the vehicle into a power source. Finally, the battery system is designed to handle a lengthy period of non-operation. At a 50% state of charge the RAV4 EV can sit without charging for approximately one year with no permanent loss of function. If the battery pack does become depleted, its 12-volt battery will allow the vehicle to turn on and shift into neutral. If the 12 volt battery is also depleted it can be jumped.
Exterior Design
Interior Features
- Driving range displays an estimated range according to the amount of charge remaining in the traction battery along with the current air condition setting. The range will adjust based on the setting of the air conditioning.
- Trip efficiency displays the average power consumption in intervals of five minutes during a trip. Efficiency displays average power consumption since the function was reset as well as current power consumption.
- Eco coach evaluates the level of eco-sensitive driving according to acceleration, speed and braking and displays an overall score.
- CO2 reduction displays the amount of CO2 reduced compared to a conventional gasoline vehicle. The reduction is displayed as a growing tree.
- AUX power displays average 12-volt battery power consumption since the function was reset and the current trip's 12-volt battery power consumption.
The RAV4 EV will go on sale in late summer 2012 through select California dealers, focusing on major metropolitan markets. Service for the RAV4 EV will only be available at these authorized RAV4 EV dealers. Sales volume is planned for approximately 2,600 units through 2014. The battery is warrantied for eight years or 100,000 miles.
The RAV4 EV is expected to qualify for a $2,500 rebate through the Clean Vehicle Rebate Program in California and also is eligible for a $7,500 Federal Tax Credit. The vehicle will qualify for the California High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane white sticker program.
"We believe that the RAV4 EV will attract sophisticated early technology adopters, much like the first-generation Prius," said Bill Fay, Toyota division group vice president and general manager. "It's designed for consumers who prioritize the environment and appreciate performance. We look forward to seeing how the market responds."

I was first made aware of what was happening in Burma through my friend, Shane Abrahams. I was shocked, and couldn't figure out how something like that could be taking place in another part of the world, and even through today's technology and connectivity, I still hadn't heard a single word about it. After doing research, and hearing stories about refugees, child soldiers, and unbelievable violations of human rights, I couldn't help but begin to wonder what happened, and how we've become so numb to the stories. Why doesn't our media talk about this stuff?
Maybe we've just all been deceived into thinking that what should be our focus, and the focus of our media, is what actually has a direct impact on our level of comfort here at home. But what if what really matters, and what really counts, are the things we aren't currently seeing and paying attention to? And what if we aren't seeing it because our focus has been diverted and misdirected? READ ALL

Canon S90 reborn as an Elph: The SD4000 IS
Canon's PowerShot S90 continues to be one of the most popular cameras on CNET, but it is expensive and really targeted at a prosumer user. The SD4000 IS announced Tuesday brings some of the S90's features--primarily its f2.0 lens--to the masses in a body design intended to be stylish or, in other words, less serious-looking than the S90.
The camera is also the company's first to feature a high-speed backside-illuminated CMOS sensor, though it's still the typical compact camera-size sensor, 1/2.3-inch type. This sensor means Canon is finally able to offer features that … Read more

WACH FOX News Center covers stories around the Midlands and across the state 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Injured running back Marcus Lattimore will attend South Carolina's pro day on March 27, although he won't run in any drills for NFL personnel attending the session.
Lattimore told The Associated Press on Tuesday he plans to talk with interested NFL teams, perhaps catch a few passes and lift weights at the yearly pre-draft workout.
Lattimore injured his right knee against Tennessee last October. He had surgery to repair torn ligaments and has rehabbed in Pensacola, Fla., since giving up his senior year this past December. Lattimore says he's jogged some but won't be cleared to run all-out sprints for another month.
He's met with about 10 NFL teams, yet has given up trying to predict when or if he'll hear his name called during April's draft.

A Veterans of Foreign Wars official says an eighth Marine has died after a mortar shell explosion during mountain warfare training in Nevada's high desert.
John Stroud, national junior vice commander in chief for the VWF, began a memorial event near the site of the blast by saying "one of the critical has passed."
Mourners then laid eight floral arrangements at a park near the Hawthorne Army Depot.
Stroud says he spoke with Marine officers who gave him the news before Tuesday night's ceremony. Messages left for a Marine spokesman were not immediately returned.
The explosion occurred Monday night at the sprawling facility during an exercise involving the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force from Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Several Marines from the unit were injured in the blast.
The identities of those killed won't be released until 24 hours after their families are notified.

Tribute to the Rockman series. The song is Back to Mad by Texas Faggott for all of you that would like it. Good luck.
Rock Man Neo Insight:
his is an alternate universe series I created in 2000 to signify the growth of Rock Man (Mega Man). It's very different to other series, so I hope you all understand that.
Rated 5 / 5 stars August 29, 2013
I'm like Ran-Cossack comment below. It was in my favorites and I also had a beta version of the game. I usually keep things like this, I will have to dig up the files to look for it.
If I find it, i'm willing to put in the time to go into fruition. Hope you are doing well AndrewDickman. I can watch this a million times and it does not get old.
Rated 5 / 5 stars July 11, 2013
this simple flash animation is totally amazing! as a total mega man/rockman fan, i can name most of the charaters, rockman, zero, terra, dr.wiley and dr.doppleri think.
Rated 5 / 5 stars July 4, 2013
I was browsing my Favorites, when this one came into view. I remembered how excited it got me back in the day, and after watching it again after oh so many years... It still holds up, phenomenally well. I recall a long time ago the author of this had planned to make a full fledged flash game, based off of the universe he built for this. He wrote a full script for the entire game, from dialogue to actions, character bios, the works, and even put out an early beta of the gameplay playing as Rockman Neo.
But... Not long after, he cancelled the entire thing. I can't recall the exact reasoning behind it, but when I heard it was cancelled, it honestly felt terribly disappointing. I mean, I can't speak for how difficult it'd be to make what he was working on, but as an excited fan, it was truly a saddening moment. I've long since lost the beta file for the game, along with the game script, but I still remember it with fondness. It's truly a shame that nothing ever came of this fantastic concept.. At least we still have this flash to remember it by.
To you, AndrewDickman, I say a job well done. Over 10 years later, and my love for the universe you built out of this simple little flash animation still holds together. I can only hope you've moved onto bigger better things, and are getting the praise you deserve for your unique work, my friend. Good on ya, once again, for making such a ridiculously addicting and awe inspiring work of flash animation.=)
Rated 5 / 5 stars April 24, 2013
I have a pilot episode and entire season arc written if the author is ever interested.
I just want to see something happen with this, but I lack his animating skills.
5/5, still one of the best things on Newgrounds.
Rated 5 / 5 stars March 5, 2013
I've always wondered what the story would have been like if Rockman was first created as a Maverick instead of Zero.. you gave that idea a stylish breath of life! Never get tired of seeing this classic.

Though she only appeared in a handful of episodes this season of "Grey's Anatomy," Katherine Heigl has thrown her hat into the ring and submitted herself in the supporting actress category for this year's Emmy race. Despite her absence for most of the show, Heigl has submitted herself in the Best Supporting Actress category, leaving many – including ex co-star Eric Dane, wondering why.
Per E!:
Reporters asked Eric what he thought of Katherine putting her name in for Best Supporting Actress. His response: "For what?"
"Um, for Grey's Anatomy," we gently reminded him on the carpet at the 9th Annual Chrysalis Ball, where he was there with his equally good lookin' wife Rebecca Gayheart.
"Oh," Dane said catching himself. "It's great! Fantastic! I love it! Why?"
Ellen Pompeo has also jumped into the race, vying for the Leading Actress category this year while others like Patrick Dempsey and Sandra Oh are joining Heigl in the supporting category. "Grey's" itself is rallying for best drama. The two-hour season finale as well as "The Time Warp," "Suicide is Painless," "I Saw What I Saw," and "Give Peace a Chance" episodes have been submitted for consideration. Heigl only appeared in a handful of episodes this year before her character, Dr. Izzie Stevens, was last seen around Seattle Grace in January. She was due back on the set of the ABC drama March 1st but never showed up. ABC Studios said it was mutually agreed upon that Heigl would end her run this season. In 2008, Heigl took herself out of Emmy contention because she didn't believe the material the writers gave her was worthy of recognition. Nominations for the 62nd Primetime Emmys will be announced July 8th, while NBC will air the Emmys on Aug. 29th.
Amazing. After sabotaging herself and her career for so many years with asinine rants about working hours, working conditions, not feeling that the quality of the writing was up to standard, etc., now suddenly she wants recognition for a season in which she did absolutely nothing spectacular! She did not appear in many episodes at all and chose to leave the show in a lurch and abandon the fans who'd supported her character for many years. I really hope she doesn't even get a nomination, she doesn't deserve it.

Event organizer "Running Into The Sun" said the original plan was for Kim to high-five 500 fans selected from the audience but Kim was insisting on high-fiving everyone.
"I know it's not going to be easy and I hope that even if it is a really short moment of high-five, the fans would know how much I appreciate their effort and support," he said.
He will meet his fans at the stadium exit after the event ends.
Kim told The Associated Press on Thursday he's confident security won't be an issue.
The tour that starts Friday includes Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and Thailand. Organizers say Kim will high-five everyone at fan events in Hong Kong and Taiwan, too.
Kim is part of the boy band SS501 and became hugely popular across Asia after appearing in the 2009 Korean TV drama "Boys Over Flowers."
His solo debut album, "Break Down," was released in 2011.

FCS Diversity and Inclusion - PROPOSED RULE - MARCH 2011
Dear Mr. Van Meter,
Thank you for this opportunity to provide comment on ways the FCS can better serve small and midsized, local and regional food producers. We support your efforts to diversify the FCS loan portfolio and would ask that in defining what needs to be included in FCS marketing plans that you include:
1. A requirement that each FCS institution create a baseline analysis of producers who meet the farm bill definition of local and regional food producers by number of borrowers, by loan volume, and other key characteristics.
2. A plan for conducting outreach to local and regional food producers.
3. A plan for providing staff development training to FCS personnel across the full spectrum of lending, accounting, farm transfer and business planning services appropriate for serving local and regional food producers.
4. A plan for developing lending and business support products with terms and benefits appropriate for local and regional food producers.
5. An inventory of strengths and weaknesses of financing for local and regional food infrastructure (aggregation, processing, distributing, etc.) and an FCA plan for how to use FCS local and regional food producer financing to leverage other public and private capital necessary to address the larger weaknesses in the rest of the local and regional food supply chain.

A little birdie told me that my son would love this for Christmas - Sooooo I purchasded it while it was on sale at the end of October. His birthday was on Nov. 3rd and I just couldn't wait to give it to him so now I am looking for another Christmas present.He loves the tool box and it was a very good purchase. I purchased it online and was very pleased with the service. Live out of town but picked it up in Little Rock and arrived at pick-up and had it loaded in my truck within 5 minutes! Awsome service and pick-up.

The Harley Emblem is crooked, extremely so. I am very disappointed with this. My husband is a Harley man, he has a Sportster and of course a lot of cool gear. I was hoping to add to the collection with this tool box. But everyone comments on the crooked decals, not how awesome the toolbox is :(

This box (not tool box) was built for show only. I would have and did expect a better quality, better built box with the Harley name on it. Lesson learned buy Harley gear at a Harley shop.

VERY cheap, will not hold up over time. Flimsy metal, poor quality control. MADE IN CHINA. What happend to quality Craftsman? Definitely not heavy duty, not even sturdy enough for the home user. Save it for a conversation piece, that's about it.

I just purchased this May 13th 2013. It's Built really good. Not to heavy empty. I like the rubber drawer liners that came with it. Has a lot of storage space, for no bigger than it is. Also the finish on the box is very good.

I'm a long time Harley Davidson enthusiast. This has to be one of the worst gimmicks I have seen their logo on. These are barely passable stickers on incredibly cheap, baby tool boxes. I have one other craftsman box, made in 96 I believe; solid as a tank. I bought this box and a chest and couldn't BELIEVE how horrible they are. I was incredibly let down. The draws are flimsy and fakeish, locks are thin and cheap, paint is weak and the finish is bad, AND THE STICKERS.I mean seriously paint the thing and charge me a extra 50$ maybe at least then I won't return it with a bad attitude to your uneducated sales reps. Probably made in China aswell...

Subscribe to NAHB Publications
E-mail Our Editor In this issue: NAHB Remodelers Logo UnveiledChairman Mike Nagel, CGR, CAPS, opened the NAHB Remodelers spring Board of Trustees meeting by unveiling the councils new logo with a champagne toast to the new name. Chairman Mike Nagel, CGR, CAPS, opened the NAHB Remodelers spring Board of Trustees meeting by unveiling the councils new logo with a champagne toast to the new name. The implementation of a new logo is another step in the rebranding process for the new NAHB Remodelers. The decision to change the groups name from the Remodelors Council to the NAHB Remodelers came after extensive analysis of the councils brand recognition and investigation into how to make the council an even more widely-known force in the remodeling industry. Economists predict that the remodeling industry will surpass the home building industry within the next ten years, and the councils Board of Trustees wants to make sure that the NAHB Remodelers reaches more of the remodeling population and grows as the industry grows. Updating the councils name and logo gives it a fresh, new image, makes it easier to search for online and allows it to be seen as associated with NAHB. Local councils can benefit greatly from the councils image update. As members of the federation, local councils are not required to change anything about their name or logo as a result of the national change. However, if they wish to adjust their logo, as the HBA of Greater Chicago Remodelers has done, they may do so. Download the New Logo Members and local councils are encouraged to download the new NAHB Remodelers logo for use in your business and to spread the word about the organizations new look.
