THE SECOND SEASON: After seven non-conference matches, Seattle University enters the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation portion of the 2012 schedule, with 10 matches against its conference foes over the next six weekends. First up is a home match against the San Jose State Spartans, who will be the Redhawks' travel partner this season after Sacramento State left the conference and Houston Baptist joined the league. The goal is to be one of the top six teams at the conclusion of the regular season in order to qualify for the MPSF Tournament Nov. 8-11 in Albuquerque, N.M. The winner of the conference postseason tournament receives an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. Seattle U was not eligible to participate in the 2009 conference tournament, and the Redhawks have failed to qualify for the postseason tourney in each of the last two seasons, a trend they would like to break this year.
THE HUSKY CLASSIC: The first day of the Husky Soccer Classic featured a flurry of goals, as both the Brown-Washington and Portland-Seattle U matches ended in 4-3 scores. At Championship Field, the Redhawks scored twice in the span of 21 seconds, as Hamza Haddadi first set up Miguel Gonzalez for his second goal of the year, and then fellow freshman Austin Sweeney for his first tally of the 2012 campaign. Portland came right back, as Steven Evans scored the next three goals of the match to earn a hat trick and give the Pilots a 3-2 lead. With 1:29 remaining in the first half, Enrique Bello and Gonzalez set up Marshall Kosaka, whose header from five yards out found the back of the net, tying the match at 3-3 heading into the halftime break. There were a lot of shots, but no goals in the second half until Kosaka struck again, assisted by Brady Ballew and Travis Heim, with 3:04 left in regulation to clinch the victory for Seattle U. Two days later at Husky Soccer Field, Seattle U and Washington played to a scoreless tie in the first half before the Huskies scored twice in the second half, the first time just 10 seconds after halftime, to earn a 2-0 victory. Brown defeated Portland, 3-0, to win the Husky Soccer Classic.
SCOUTING SAN JOSE STATE: The Spartans enter Sunday's match with a 3-4 overall record after also winning one of two matches last weekend, defeating Bradley (3-2) and losing to NJIT (4-2). Steve Sanchez leads the Spartans with six goals and 13 total points, second in the MPSF in both categories. Jonathan Salceda leads the team and is third in the conference with four assists to go along with two goals for eight total points, while Dylan Murphy also has eight points so far this season on three goals and two assists. Michael Schwinn has played every second in net for the Spartans, posting a 2.43 goals against average and a .638 save percentage.
SEATTLE U VS. SAN JOSE STATE: This will be the seventh meeting between Seattle U and San Jose State since 2008, with the Spartans holding a 5-0-1 series advantage over the Redhawks. The teams met twice last season, with San Jose State winning both by identical 2-1 scores. First, on Oct. 7 in San Jose, Allen La Spina scored both Spartan goals, including the game-winner 3:13 into overtime, after Mikey Ramos had tied the match for Seattle U in the 79th minute. In the rematch Oct. 14 at Championship Field, the two teams exchanged penalty kick goals and the match seemed destined for overtime tied at 1-1. However, with 15 seconds remaining in regulation, Steve Sanchez's shot deflected off the Redhawk defense into the net to give San Jose State the victory.
FREE YOUTH CLINIC: A free youth clinic sponsored by Seattle U men's soccer is taking place Sunday at 11 a.m. at Championship Field. Pete Fewing will start the clinic with a pep talk as well as best practices for improving one's soccer skills. After that, the players will show the kids how to make those improvements with interactive skills training. Interested parties should contact Aaron Menard by Friday, Sept. 28, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

If you can smell what
the Rock
is cookin' then you're no doubt familiar with superstar wrestler
Dwayne Johnson
's swaggeringly cocky alter ego. With his trademark right eyebrow raised and a penchant for implementing the patented "People's Elbow" to unwary opponents, the self-proclaimed "Most Electrifying Man in Sports-Entertainment" slammed, crashed, and crushed his way to becoming the youngest Intercontinental Champion in WWF history at the age of 24 before winning the WWF title record six times. After conquering the world of sports-entertainment,
next set his sights on conquering Hollywood.
Born May 2, 1972 in Miami, FL,
became a third-generation wrestler after shifting from a career in professional football to professional wrestling when an injury sidelined his gridiron aspirations. After flexing his acting muscles on television in
Saturday Night Live
That '70s Show
(in which he played his own father), and
The Net
the Rock
made his feature debut with his role as the dreaded Scorpion King in
The Mummy Returns
(2001). Returning as the same character the following year in the appropriately titled
The Scorpion King
did little to enhance his reputation of a trained thespian, though he did get the summer film season off to a rousing start for audiences hungering for some energetic escapist fun. Recalling
John Milius
' 1982 hit
Conan the Barbarian
(another film that launched the cinematic action career of a then-little-known athlete named
Arnold Schwarzenegger
), the sword-and-sandal adventure raked in 36 million dollars on its opening weekend and stayed at the top of the box office in the weeks following its impressive debut.
Though he would return to the ring for the remainder of 2002, it didn't take The Rock long to soften on the prospect of a return to the silver screen -- and with the following year's
The Rundown
, he did just that. Cast as a bounty hunter who is sent to Brazil to retrieve the son of a well-known mob boss (
American Pie
Seann William Scott
), the film provided The Rock with the sort of opportunity to display his comic flair -- a notable talent that was mostly neglected in the special-effects-laden
Scorpion King
. By this point, his screen career had earned the wrestler-turned-actor a notable fan base that reached well beyond the WWE universe, and in 2004 he took the law into his own hands with the feature remake (in name and general concept only)
Walking Tall
. Based on the exploits of hard-case Southern sheriff Buford Pusser (played by
Joe Don Baker
in the original 1973 version) -- the film found The Rock cast as an honest, retired soldier who -- upon return to his small, rural Washington State hometown -- discovers his former high-school rival Jay Hamilton (
Neal McDonough
) has corrupted the once-prosperous town by introducing drugs and gambling and effectively shutting down the formerly successful lumber mill. Anyone who saw the original (and even those who didn't) could no doubt tell what follows -- and if there ever was a man to lay the smack down on the criminal element, few could doubt that The Rock would be up for the task.
With his role as a gay bodyguard in the 2005
Get Shorty
Be Cool
, The Rock showed once and for all that he wasn't above poking a little fun at his tough-guy persona, and though he would return to the action genre with the sci-fi video-game adaptation
, the next year found the increasingly prolific entertainer cast in the complex role of a sporadically amnesiac actor who begins to have trouble separating reality from fantasy in
Donnie Darko
Richard Kelly
's apocalyptic sophomore effort,
Southland Tales
. Later that same year, The Rock turned his attention toward the sport of football to tell the inspirational true story of a detention-camp probation officer who teaches his troubled young charges the meaning of self-respect and social responsibility in
Gridiron Gang
-- a feature adaptation of the Emmy-winning 1993 documentary of the same name.
He would appear in Get Smart and Race to Witch Mountain the following year, followed by Why Did I Get Married Too? in 2010 -- all films that grounded the actor in relatable, humorous roles. Never one to shy away from his roots, however, The Rock was back to action fare soon enough, signing on for G.I. Joe: Retaliation. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The Joes reteam to prevent Cobra from achieving total world domination in this sequel that picks up shortly after the events of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. The Nanomite threat has been neutralized, and the U.S. government has imprisoned Cobra Commander and Destro in an inescapable subterranean prison. When the leader of Pakistan is assassinated, the U.S. president (Jonathan Pryce) calls on the Joes to secure Pakistan's nuclear warheads before they fall into enemy hands. In the wake of successfully completing their mission, however, the Joes are decimated in a devastating surprise attack. When the smoke clears, Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki), and Flint (D.J. Cotrona) are the sole survivors. They're convinced that something is amiss in the White House, and as Lady Jaye theorizes that an imposter is pretending to be the commander in chief, bad guys Storm Shadow (Lee Byung-hun) and Firefly (Ray Stevenson) team up to break Cobra Commander (Luke Bracey) out of prison. Later, as Storm Shadow retreats into the mountains to recover from burns incurred in the extraction, Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and Jinx (Elodie Yung) manage to capture the elusive white ninja, in the process discovering a shocking secret about his past and learning that Zartan (Arnold Vosloo), posing as the president, has called an international summit to discuss nuclear disarmament in order to bring the leaders of the world to their knees before the diabolical Cobra Commander. Now, as Cobra holds the entire globe hostage with a revolutionary new weapon placed on satellites orbiting the planet, it's up to the Joes and a trustworthy old friend to save the day. ~ Rovi

A desk-jockey detective and his tough-talking partner get their moment to shine in this buddy police comedy starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, and directed by Adam McKay (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby). New York City detective Allen Gamble (Ferrell) is more comfortable pushing pencils than busting bad guys. A meticulous forensic accountant, his numbers are never off. Detective Terry Hoitz (Wahlberg) is Gamble's reluctant partner. Try as Detective Hoitz might to get back on the streets, an embarrassing encounter with Derek Jeter has left a sizable black mark on his permanent record. Detectives Danson (Dwayne Johnson) and Highsmith (Samuel L. Jackson) are the complete opposites of Gamble and Hoitz: unwaveringly confident, they always get their man, and they do it with style to spare. When the time comes for Gamble and Hoitz to prove their mettle and save the day, their incompetence becomes the stuff of legend. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

After the critical success of Street Fight, which documented upstart Cory Booker's hard-fought effort to unseat embattled Newark mayor Sharpe James, filmmaker Marshall Curry switches gears with Racing Dreams, a look at three adolescents who race in the World Karting Association. With racers driving karts that reach up to 70 mph, the World Karting Association has come to be seen as a sort of unofficial minor leagues for NASCAR, and Annabeth Barnes, Josh Hobson, and Brandon Warren -- all between 11 and 13 years old, are promising young stars of the circuit. Curry's film explores the dynamics of kart racing, and takes an intimate look at all three kids and the individual challenges they face. Hobson, who idolizes Jeff Gordon, is the slickest of the three. He does well in school, and practices his interview skills along with his driving. The brash Warren struggles to control his temper, which has gotten him into trouble on the track, while Barnes finds herself missing out on the ordinary pleasures of childhood, and wonders whether or not she's ready to commit her life to racing. Curry also shows how economic and gender issues impact the kids' ability to compete in the expensive sport. While Warren comes from a disadvantaged background and depends on finding a sponsor to be able to fulfill his dreams, Barnes is fortunate enough to be a top female competitor at a time when NASCAR is actively trying to promote diversity in its ranks. Racing Dreams had its world premiere at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival, where it won Best Documentary Feature, and placed second for the Audience Award. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

An American astronaut believing himself to be the first person ever to set foot on Planet 51 gets the shock of his life in this animated adventure comedy featuring the voices of Dwayne Johnson, Jessica Biel, John Cleese, and Gary Oldman. Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker (voice of Johnson) was on a mission to boldly go where no man had gone before, a remote celestial body dubbed Planet 51. The scientific community had surmised that Planet 51 was uninhabited, so when Captain Baker steps out of his spacecraft to discover a race of tiny green people living in quaint communities reminiscent of 1950s America, he can't quite believe his eyes. Unfortunately, the tiny extraterrestrials suffer from a universal fear that their utopian community will one day be overrun by alien invaders...just like the extra-large astronaut who now stands before them. As General Grawl (voice of Gary Oldman) and Professor Kipple (voice of John Cleese) attempt to capture the peaceful visitor so they can dissect him and learn more about his anatomy, Captain Baker must count on his robot companion, "Rover," and his new friend, Lem, in order to navigate this strange new world and find a way back home before it's too late. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Touched by the plight of an aspiring Iraqi filmmaker whose dreams of working in Hollywood seemed to fall with Baghdad, American filmmaker Liev Schreiber invites the ambitious wannabe director to intern on Everything Is Illuminated, to unexpected results. In 2004, just one year after the United States launched a devastating attack on Baghdad, MTV ran a story about a 25-year-old Iraqi film student named Muthana Mohmed, who remained determined not to let the strife that consumed his country consume his dreams as well. At the time, American actor Schreiber was preparing to make his directorial debut with the film Everything Is Illuminated. After seeing the documentary on television, Schreiber was consumed by guilt for having so many amazing opportunities in the film industry and determined to give Mohmed the chance of a lifetime by inviting him to join the production of Everything Is Illuminated in the Czech Republic. Common wisdom dictates that "the road to hell is paved with good intentions," however, and as Mohmed attempted to balance the complications of living away from home for the first time with the cultural issues that arise while working with an all-American film crew, the situation quickly began to deteriorate. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

California is at the epicenter of a political and environmental disaster that threatens to destroy the world in this ambitious fusion of comedy, drama, dystopian science fiction, and music from writer and director Richard Kelly, his first film after gaining a cult following with Donnie Darko. In the year 2005, a nuclear attack wipes out part of the state of Texas, and three years later America is a virtual police state, with the government taking control of nearly every part of people's lives, supposedly for their own good. A German firm has found a way to generate energy using seawater, but both public and private concerns are desperate to prevent the new technology from being introduced in the gasoline-starved United States. A Marxist underground based on the West Coast is determined to bring down the federal government through violent revolution.
In this midst of this chaos, we follow a number of stories that continually return to three principle characters. Boxer Santaros (Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock) is an actor famous for his role in action films; he's trying to secure financing for a new project, but reality keeps mirroring the events in his script and he struggles to hold on to his identity following a bout with amnesia. Krysta Now (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is a porn star who is reinventing herself as a television pundit offering her views on politics, contemporary culture, and teenage sex. And Roland Taverner (Seann William Scott) is an L.A. police officer whose identity has mysteriously split in two, and he struggles to track down his other half. Featuring a massive supporting cast which includes Mandy Moore, Miranda Richardson, Wallace Shawn, Jon Lovitz, Kevin Smith, Amy Poehler, and Justin Timberlake, Southland Tales received its world premiere at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival; director Kelly also created an accompanying series of three graphic novels that chart these events and characters prior to this story. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

It's edging on fall, and this season brings out my Sebastian Moran muse.
Seeking most any character from BBC Sherlock, primarily Jim Moriarty. I'd be cool with a Sherlock, John, Lestrade, Richard, or Molly. Severin would be nifty, but I've literally never written as or against Sev so I'd initially be at a bit of a loss so some explanation of your Sev before-hand would be great.
PMs or email preferable, chatting on a messenger of your choice is fine too. All messengers are available [aim, yim, skype, probably steam if you ask, ask and i will totally make an account up to chat with you on].
AUs are pretty rad, but I'm fine with canon timeline or post-Reichenbach as well [something to do with Jim's ghost, maybe? x3 Possibly seen too many gif sets]

STOCK Restaurant Bar & Lounge, Trump Toronto
Online Reservations
Food was a little disappointing. We didn't appreciate chips with sliders. Overall the food was plain, except for the vegetarian pasta which was amazing, and the chocolate dessert was equally amazing. The service was attentive, but inconsistent. The atmosphere and decor were stunning.
This place has Donald Trump written all over it, not that it's a bad thing... but you can see his stamp or hand on and in every aspect. The service was excellent, the food very good, the ambience an excited-type of noisy, and the setting hip and rich. I would come again, but could only afford it during dining events like summer- or winterlicious, as this place is out of my league!
- delicious cocktails, wish they were served before we received our appetizers - quinoa salad had burnt seeds which left a bitter taste and main pickerel could have used a a sauce even though cooked perfectly - ribeye was delicious - deserts were heavenly - waiters were polite but not friendly and didn't come often or bothered to ask us if we wanted more drinks
I liked the experience very much, we had an amazing table next to the window and enjoyed our food as well. I definitely recommend it.
The service was a bit slow after meals were delivered, there was little to no follow up with the table to provide additional water or coffee at the end of the meal.
I was a bit worried that the prestigious Trump would frown on us ordering from the sumerlicious menu. The food was great and the bill was lower than I expected. We were given lots of time to enjoy the experience of being in what is clearly a hot spot - even on a Sunday night.
We went to this restaurant as part of summerlicious. The meal was excellent. My friend and I ordered 6 unique items and we loved all of them. The service was polite and friendly. The view wasn't all that spectacular considering that you are surrounded by high rises. The lake was barely visible. But the view is still better than most other places.
Service was excellent and I had the best soup that perhaps I've ever eaten in my life.
Overall my business lunch was great. My guest had the chilled poached seafood entree that we thought was a smaller portion than expected and a bit bland. That is the exception to this bright airy restaurant.
Perfect for a romantic, fancy night out! Very classy place, you can get dressed up to the nines and feel like you are in NYC. Service is great, the food is great... and the desserts are even better! A++ I will be back!
This restaurant really raises the bar. From the hotel staff who personally walk you from the door to the elevator - to the impeccable service and friendly staff. The truffled popcorn at the bar is delicious. Champagne was served very cold as it should be. We had oysters and the crab and avocado guacamole.both were outstanding. Highly recommend this restaurant. Dress nice.
What more can I say - except for the fact that they have the best burgers served with real fries! Their crab appetizer is outstanding too. It's definitely one of my favourite downtown restaurants.
I was able to get in, have my meal (lobster salad) and get back to work in a timely fashion. The lobster was a bit too chewy for my taste, and the waiter's attempt at iced tea left something to be desired, but the room is beautiful and I am sure the other entrees are tastier. Initially the restaurant did not check me in as having booked through Open Table, but thankfully when their oversight was pointed out to them they rectified the situation.
We had a group that included wives last Monday evening, the service, food and setting was great. The little stools for the ladies purses was a hit! well done.
Excellent service good food preparation a little too noisy.
My favorite thing at Stock was the ambience. It felt very busy for a Tuesday. The space is beautiful and the decor is...tastefully ostentatious - very New York. However, what you gain in impressiveness you lose in intimacy. The table was so large that my friend and I almost had to shout. Definitely not the place for a close, private conversation. The food was good, but not great. I enjoyed the Rabbit Tagliatelle but I could have made it at home (and since have). The chocolate tart was good but there seemed to be too many moving parts. I prefer focus on a few ingredients, and to let them speak for themselves in taste and presentation. In this respect the pasta was more of a success than the dessert which felt overcomplicated for no reason.
Beer served a tiny glass...where are the beer glasses? Also each had a glass of wine, pinot for my wife and a house cab for me...both were good wines. The appetizer was unreal ! Went with the crab and avocado guacamole...real crab meat !!! For entrees, my wife had the cod and I went with the short ribs. Both excellent and good size portion. Could not finish mine. The polenta was the best ever tasted. Sides come as separate dishes ($9/each). Waiti until you see your entrée before ordering any sides. We had maple glazed carrots and peas. Enough for sharing. Vegies looked glazed but we could not taste the maple. The view was limited due to other buildings. Overall, a very pleasant dinner and we will return. Our bill came to $154 excl. tips.
An excellent experience in true Trump-esq form. Would totally recommend this restaurant to everyone and will surely be returning for many other special dinners.
From the time we walk into the restaurant until we left the service was incredible. I would absolutely recommend the Veal Osso Buco at Stock...cooked to perfection. However the steaks at this restaurant are some of the best beef we have ever eaten in Toronto.
12 ounce fillet was amazing medium rare Great chocolate torte at the end with a nice pattern on top Fantastic service also
We absolutley loved the late breakfast we had, fine chocolates, delicious pancakes and ice cream, food was great overall. My only remark is regarding the familiarity of the staff. I was there with my little son and I'd have appreciated it if I wasn't asked where I live, who I am and similar. In such a hotel I'd expect such questions to be out of the question (pun intended).
I was looking for a unique experience and I certainly found it. Great service and food. They show you the actual meet they have in stock. My daughter loved the chocolate trolley. Not a bad view unfortunately a lot of the other buildings block the view of the lake.
Everything we had was worth ordering again, but the price was a bit much.
An amazing dining experience from the moment I got out of the car to the moment I stepped back into the car- phenomenal!!!
Waited on me and my guests hand and foot. The food was...perfect.
Everything was great...service, food, atmosphere. Loved the Scallop Ceviche!
What an amazing dining experience! I recently went to Stock. Now I have to admit, since this restaurant is part of the Trump brand, I already had high expectations. Well... My expectations were not only matched, but exceeded. The food was excellent, however the service was phenomenal!! Our waiter was so attentive I did not have to ask for anything. If I needed something, he was already brining it out to us. The wine list was great and the sommelier was fantastic at breaking down what type of wine we wanted and made the perfect recommendation! As for the food.... It was definitely top notch. We had the Steak Tartar, Black Cod, Oysters, Seared Foie Gras. I would recommend any of these items. I will absolutely be coming back here!
Service and food here are excellent (although the bill brought at the end was miscalculated - but fixed immediately). Bit pricey, but it is fine dining (they had a duck special that was amazing). However, if you want to check this place out, better do it soon. The place was empty, on what should have been a busy evening. My guess is that it may not be there for long.
Had a great dinner at Stock, everything about our meal was exceptional. The chocolate cart at the end of our meal was a nice finish to the evening.
excellent dinner, one of the best i have ever had, service was impeccable 10/10
Went to celebrate my boyfriend's bday. He said the Filet mignon was cooked exactly to medium rare and was probably top 3 he has ever had (he's very picky about his steak and it was better than some other steakhouses or 5* places). I had the black cod... very good! The tuna ceviche tacos were really nice... and Leave room for dessert and chocolates... simply amazing!
Beautifully prepared lunch of grilled sea bass, perfectly cooked. Served by attentive and knowledgeable waiter. Good wines available by the glass, and excellent wines by the bottle. Throughly enjoyable and recommended
Great place to have a business lunch, as an alternative to all the older, traditional places. The food is excellent (e.g. the seafood salad, the tagliatelle), the service is efficient and attentive, and the décor is up-scale. The high ceilings make it a bit on the noisy side, but the tables are far enough apart that you still have your own private conversation.
Very enjoyable and comfortable. Attentive wait staff and very good food. Would recommend and will definitely return.
Highly recommend the Filet Mignon as your Main Entree. Only a rare few places that I have been personally can prepare it to my liking. The Atmosphere is very nice and the service is outstanding!!!
Service started out a little slow considering the place was empty. I guess since the wine is brought up from another floor it took a while for our wine to arrive. Otherwise, we were well attended to. Squash soup was good but lacked a bit of salt to round out the flavours and I'm not a salt person. The truffled mac and cheese was definitely one of the dinner highlights. My pumpkin crusted salmon was thoroughly cooked to the point of being dry and there was not enough sauce on the plate to make up for that major kitchen faux pas. The chicken main was moist and delicious as were the brussel sprouts.
Great place to impress anyone & for a special occasion. Great service & food comes with lot of fancy garnish. I would recommend the veal shank. Lots of tender meat & falls of the bone but not overcooked. Best veal I ever had. Extensive wine list if you have the wallet for it.
The food and service were truly outstanding. Inventive menu. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening from the drinks at the bar, dinner and valet service.
This is my third time coming and it has gotten better each time. Thanks for an amazing time.
While price was not an issue when choosing Stock , I do think the drink prices were a bit too high . I am ok with the $16.00 I paid for the Grey Goose martini . However , $31.00 for 3/4 of a glass of Veuve Cliquot for my wife - just a bit rich . A two course meal , two pre-dinner drinks and a 1/2 bottle of red ( $80.00 ) came to $300.00 . We left a $50.00 tip as the server ( Mike ) was so good .
Amazing fillet mignonette cooked perfectly, nice food and friendly service. You need to bring some money to afford it, but we enjoyed it a lot!
You have to order the short ribs, braised for 72 hours and the lemon lavender "gateau" (cake) - both are amazing. If you are staying in one of the suites, do what my wife and I did, have dessert delivered to your room. If you are a chocolate fanatic, you may prefer Chocolate Lab, yes Trump makes chocolate... :) All of the mains are massive, Trump size portions - the perfect intersection between taste and well... gluttony :) Wine list is terrific, I recommend going off the norm and pairing the short ribs with Cerasuolo di Vittoria (Sicily's only DOCG) - you will fall in love with the pairing. The room ambiance is elegant in the dining area while still alive around the bar - bring your wife or date. Enjoy, you can't miss! //WineNetwork
Not expecting a lot from a Bar and Lounge but was totally impressed with the food, ambience and services.The decor was very nice and services were exceptional. The main menu is well thought out and intriguing. We had Maple Black Cod and Veal Osso Bucco. We told our waiter that we are going to share our dishes so he suggested to have the kitchen split the dishes for us. The serving size was reasonable and well presented. The veal osso bucco is the best I ever had; tender, favorful but was not too filling. We ordered the Chocolate Dome for desert and it was delicious. We were so amazed by watching the transformation of the dome after the waiter pour the sauce over it. I wil definite go back and will recommend it to my friends.
This was our second time dining at Stock for a business lunch. Superlative service. Guests and host all enjoyed the meal. I would highly recommend the venue for business lunches.
The food was good....we ordered the osobucco, very well done in a white wine sauce.... The service was excellent!! Drinks at the bar are amazing, but in the tables not so good....surprised to see children running around.
Hailing from Dubai, this is one of the finest and luxurious hotel with good food and ambience and is rare to find in Canada. This restaurant offers the best service and medium to high level range of pricing of food. Best for special occasions and romantic dinner . Love the food and service. Outstanding dining experience and made us feel special. Thank you .
The food was delicious - I started with a beet and goat cheese salad, and then had the filet with 2 sides - carrots and broccolini, and short rib poutine. All were amazing. My favourite is definitely the chocolate dessert cart though - you can pick your choice of chocolate treats and they were all outstanding. Our waiter, Michael, was friendly and attentive. My water glass was never empty and he took great care of us, despite the fact that the restaurant was very busy and he had a lot going on.
Oysters were great but pricey at $40 - squash soup was really good and filet was cooked perfectly - loved the Brussel sprouts
you hear noises from the kitchen, which is disconcerting.
I heard about Stock after receiving a gift card for dinner from a colleague. The location is somewhat hidden inside Trump Tower with little signage that there is a 4 star beautiful restaurant on the 31st floor. The bar is tucked at once end which allows for good social interaction without interfering with the dining area but still providing a clear long view of the room. The furniture is nicely appointed with a different black wood finish which gives it a slightly trendy look mixed in with old world opulence. The wait staff are very friendly and service is remarkably fast for a high end restaurant. We had 4 courses including coffee and were done in under 2hrs. The food was excellent in both presentation and taste. Highly recommended.

By Michael Futch Staff writer
A veteran FBI agent testified Tuesday that accused rapist and murderer Mario McNeill surprised him when McNeill spoke of killing 5-year-old Shaniya Davis during a November 2009 interview with investigators.
"After he talked about dropping her off," the agent said in testimony for the prosecution, "he suddenly stated that he was waiting to get a call to come to kill her.
"The interviewers, everybody, kind of stopped. 'What did you say?'
"He actually said he was waiting to come to kill her," the agent testified. "When we tried to get him to expand on that, we couldn't."
Except for the loud hum of the air conditioner, a hush fell over the courtroom.
Later, in defense questioning in the capital murder trial, one of the defendant's lawyers asked the agent whether McNeill had corrected himself during the exchange.
The agent said McNeill did correct himself, saying that he was waiting for someone to get - not kill - the child.
Lawyers for the state asked that the agent, who specializes in criminal matters, not be identified or photographed.
Authorities say McNeill assaulted the child in a Sanford hotel room before strangling her and hiding her body not far from the Carolina Trace community off N.C. 87.
The five-hour taped interview with McNeill, according to testimony, began about 9:30 or 10 p.m. Nov. 12, before the agent was asked to assist in the interrogation about 1 a.m. Nov. 13.
The FBI became involved in the case, the agent said, because the agency is tasked with assisting other law enforcement on missing children cases reported by an Amber Alert.
At the time, the agent said, the Fayetteville Police Department had received a tip from Comfort Suites in Sanford that McNeill had been at the hotel with the child.
After McNeill was contacted by authorities, defense lawyers said Tuesday that their client voluntarily went to talk with police. The little girl was still missing when authorities first questioned McNeill.
The FBI agent, after watching half of the interview, used information that he had gleaned from the interrogation, as well as a list of text messages he had received from a cellphone carrier that McNeill had sent and received Nov. 10 - the day Shaniya went missing.
"We needed to keep him talking," the agent testified, "to find Shaniya."
The federal agent said McNeill told him he was "skied up" - under the influence of cocaine.
At one point, the agent testified, he had to get McNeill to move because he was slouching and falling asleep during the interview.
"Mr. McNeill was not always telling the truth," the agent said. "Sometimes he would giggle. He needed to stop closing his eyes and laughing."
While McNeill admitted he had been at the Sleepy Hollow Mobile Home Park after midnight on Nov. 10, the agent said, he initially denied being at Brenda Davis' trailer, where Shaniya was living with her brother and her mother.
The agent testified that McNeill denied he had Shaniya with him, and he denied he had been at the hotel in Sanford.
At first, the agent said, McNeill denied that he was the person in the hotel surveillance video that showed him holding the child in his arms.
That video was released to media outlets in hopes that it would assist investigators in the case.
After initially denying that he knew the child, the agent said that McNeill told police the girl's aunt sent him a text message asking him to pick up Shaniya from the family's home in the mobile home park.
McNeill, according to the agent's testimony, said he was driving around and sending out multiple texts "to hook up with someone."
During the interrogation, the agent said, McNeill continued a story about getting text messages to come pick up the child at the mobile home park.
McNeill, according to the agent, said the hotel was "a waiting area" to bring her to a dry cleaner in Fayetteville to meet unidentified people.
Upon further probing, the agent testified, "he admitted he had her in" the hotel, "and he had cocaine."
The agent described the defendant that night as coherent. He did not appear to be impaired in any way, he said.
McNeill, 33, is being tried on seven charges, including first-degree rape and murder. He could face death if found guilty of first-degree murder.
Shaniya's mother, Antoniette Nicole Davis, 28, is accused of giving her daughter to McNeill to settle a drug debt before reporting the child missing Nov. 10. Davis will be tried on similar charges, but she is not facing the possibility of execution.
Earlier Tuesday, jurors watched a video that showed the child's body in the woods where she was found.
The 14-minute video, shot by SBI crime scene investigator Chad Royal, was shown on a screen that could not be seen from the courtroom's general seating area. There was no audio.
But jurors watched intently.
McNeill mostly sat with his back to the screen, but he turned at times to watch some of the footage.
Cheyenne Locklear, Shaniya's half-sister, hurriedly walked out of the courtroom, sobbing as the video played.
McNeill's mother, Juanita Ball, sniffled as she sat in the courtroom gallery.
Afterward, defense lawyer Harold "Butch" Pope questioned the way the recovery of the body was handled.
He asked if footprint impressions had been taken. No, Royal said.
Pope asked if DNA tissue had been collected from Shaniya's body at the site, but Royal said he wasn't aware of that happening.
Later, when Assistant District Attorney Rita Cox asked why footprint impressions hadn't been taken, Royal said there was too much vegetation covering the ground.
On Monday, Royal told jurors that kudzu and other thick vegetation entangled the body when it was found.
During Tuesday's lunch break, McNeill apparently made a comment to the FBI agent after he had stepped off the witness stand.
After a lunch break, prosecutor Robby Hicks asked Judge Jim Ammons to tell McNeill not to speak to witnesses. Hicks told the judge that McNeill had called the federal agent a liar.
"I asked why was he lying," McNeill told the judge.
Ammons said the testimony is emotional. He asked whether the comment was made outside the presence of the jury, and the agent said yes.
The trial is scheduled to resume today at 9:30 a.m.

Should I forward my business website to my easier to remember .co or my longer .com?
I have two domain names, one of which I was going to forward to my longer .com one. Except when I started talking to people they said they liked the shorter .co better. Domain formats (9 letters).co or (9 letters)solutions.com
Initial Plan:
I initially bought a .com domain name with is named exactly what my LLC. is called. My LLC. name ends in Solutions so I decided to try and get a shortened domain name which I found without that extra solutions as a .co, which was fitting since I was going to use it for a shorten permalink. and just have that link forward to my .com.
Possible Alternate:
A few people I talked to suggested just forward all traffic from my .com to my .co. Since I have the .com it wouldn't be an issue if people wanted to type in my business name from memory and appending the .com. It would be an issue though if they tried the shorten linked with .com because a domain squatter owns that.
My goal was to get this question answered in addition to making it a useful question to others, so if you feel it needs any further clarification or improvements please let me know.

The French healthcare system remains one of the best in the world. But how does it work? What do you have to do to be covered by the system? Are there features specific to the Paris Region? We bring you the answers
Paris Region Magazine asks leading figures why they have chosen the Paris Region. Peter Sandkamp is a German engineer based in Corbeil-Essonnes, where he has set up a company to distribute machines for the wiring industry. He tells us how the business came about.

M2t was created in 2001 to develop a multi-based local service concept using new technologies. The idea was to develop secure services for delegated or proprietary management of consumer payment collection (for water, electricity, telecommunications, etc.) and sales of telecom recharges by creating and implementing a certified, branded solution on-site at merchant locations.
A location at the heart of Europe, a well-qualified labor force, internationally renowned educational opportunities, superb quality of life, and connected worldwide... these strengths and others like them are what attract international investors to the Paris Region and contribute to maintaining the dynamic energy of the capitals own region.

Top Teachers: Stephanie Tucker
Crestview E.S., preschool
Years spent working in the mortgage industry left Stephanie Tucker with a vacant feeling. During a drive past a Henrico school one day, she saw a sign inviting applications for an instructional assistant position. She interviewed and soon had a job at Crestview Elementary working in one of the school's Head Start preschool classes (now known as Federal Programs Preschool). "It was like a light bulb went on," Tucker said. Six years later, she realizes every day that she made the right decision. "As a kid, I always wanted to be a teacher. When I came back to that, I just knew this is where I needed to be." From her perch on the front line of preschool education, Tucker has seen the difference it can make for students. "Preschool is such a critical age," Tucker said. "You can turn on or turn off a child's love of learning. If you've got a nurturing, safe environment, then you're giving them one of the tools that they need to be successful. "It's really wonderful that the public is really embracing preschool as more than daycare." Though the program at Crestview, and those at other Henrico elementaries, pull students from different attendance zones, some of Tucker's students have continued at Crestview. Several of her first students are now fifth-graders at the school whose continued development she has enjoyed watching. "Mrs. Tucker rolls up her sleeves and brings joy and determination to the classroom," one nominator wrote. "Her students are higher needs [students] but she does not see them as such. Her zest for engaging them is limitless." For Tucker, it's a simple concept. "Kids are kids, and their basic needs are that they want to be safe and happy, and they want to learn," she said. "If you can provide that, then they're successful." For the youngsters in her class, there is amazement in some of life's simplest lessons, such as watching caterpillar larvae turn into butterflies or taking a nature walk. "So many kids, depending on their background, that's not happened in their life," she said. "That's a great experience. One of the neatest things about it is that kids that age are just 'eyes wide open,' unbiased about everything around them. Everything is exciting. I get so much from them by watching all those 'ah-ha' moments. "One thing I think is important is that children absolutely deserve respect. They need to feel that they're valued. Every child deserves that. Most times when you give a child respect, then you get that back from them." |

Gettin' piggy with it at Henricus
Photo by Roger Walk for the Henrico Citizen 11/24/2013
Henricus Historical Park has a new, messy guest. Eleanor, a rare five-month-old Tamworth pig, was donated this month to the Chesterfield park by the Chesterfield County Farm Bureau as part of an effort to enhance the living history museum's partnership with the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. Eleanor and her livestock pig and goat neighbors at the park will be a special attraction for the schoolchildren and others who visit the Henricus Historical Park. Eventually, she will triple from her current 150-pound weight and grow to about two feet tall. > Read more.

Buffalo, NY (WKBW) - University Heights residents plan to sound off Monday night. Out of control parties near University at Buffalo's South Campus are expected to be a hot topic at a public meeting.
University at Buffalo officials, Buffalo Police Department representatives and many upset residents are expected to voice concerns about underage drinking. Residents tell Eyewitness News hundreds of people pack into homes and onto front lawns for parties on a regular basis.
Back in February, a UB student newspaper published a report stating that students in the University Heights area live in fear.
At that time, a Buffalo Police spokesperson told Eyewitness News that major crimes in the area have dropped. However, the department added that larcenies and assaults are on the rise, often fueled by partying students.
There have been more concerns surrounding the area since Nichola Arieno, an 18-year-old student at University at Buffalo, was found dead in a home known for its parties on Winspear Avenue.
His death was not necessarily alcohol related, but residents say it still calls attention to the issues the University Heights community faces.
The meeting will take place at the Gloria Parks Community Center at Main and Heath Streets and 7pm on Monday.

PUEBLO COUNTY, COLO. -- About 1,500 pounds of fresh produce were distributed to students at two Pueblo City Schools as part of Care and Share's first ever mobile food pantry.
Care and Share, a southern Colorado food bank, brought hot deals to students at East High School and Risley Middle School Wednesday afternoon at no charge.
"Sometimes we know that's the only hot meal they get is the one that we give them every day," East High Food Server Loretta Lewis said.
Care and Share officials made sure the pantry was stocked with healthy options for the students.
"The hard thing that was a little bit tough to give away today was the cabbage," Care and Share Program Coordinator Donna Helms said. "We kinda told some of the students 'you're not leaving the line today without a cabbage.' Other than that they were real open to take the different types of produce that we had."
Lewis said the need for extra food is always increasing.
"You can tell by looking at the child when they need it, and they don't want nobody to know it," she said.
The bank hopes to extend the mobile program to other districts soon and will have summer lunch programs for qualified kids.
