Ty Zimmerman grew up in the shadows of Kansas State, and now he's getting to stand in the spotlight during a ride that could end in the BCS title game.
The safety of the fourth-ranked Wildcats is trying to concentrate on No. 15 Texas Tech. Kansas State hosts the Red Raiders on Saturday.
Get by that game, though, and the Wildcats will be one step closer to playing for a national championship, and Zimmerman is one of the reasons why. He has four interceptions in his last four games, and is on track to break Jaime Mendez's school record for picks in a season.
Not bad for a former high school quarterback from the small town of Junction City, Kan.

A word from Troya Clement
Troya was known as llios or llion, a name which can be found in the epic poem, where the poet immortalized the city through mythological characters like King Priam, Hector, Paris and beautiful Helen. For centuries, this story was regarded as only myth until the ruins of the city were found in western Turkey in the mid-19th century.Continued
At Troya, we strive to create modern Turkish cuisine with south Mediterranean influences that celebrate this glorious history. We invite you to visit us and experience our creations with one of the city's most eclectic wine list and Troya's relaxed dining room.

- SandyVIPDined on 10/19/2014Their lamb dishes are superior as well as their falafel and hummus. I love that they have gluten free options and their meat is free range. It gets very noisy on weekend nights, but the food is still wonderful. The host kindly worked us in, when our open table reservation had not come through. The staff here are all gracious and hospitable.Special Features:
- Yum!WoodlandSDined on 10/9/2014Great food, many choices, piques the palate but at the same time odd,y comforting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not as good as it used to beBrianDined on 9/18/2014We've been here several times before and loved it. This time we were disappointed. Our favorites appetizers were changed and not as good as they used to be. Disappointing.Special Features:
- reyreyDined on 9/16/2014Love coming to Troya! Great service, great food, great ambiance! Highly recommend!Special Features:
- CeleryDined on 9/12/2014Good restaurant, quality food. Fried brussel sprouts a stand-out. Miserable parking on the weekends. Very frustrating, so avoid Friday/Saturday nights unless you enjoy driving the neighborhood for half hour to find a spot. Or take the bus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tasty treats and gracious serversMomoDined on 9/5/2014Troya on Clements is consistently good- great small plates, wonderful kebabs and always a surprise or two to tantalize the palate. Not pretentious - just warm and welcomingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- retiredguyDined on 8/29/2014Excellent food & service.Enjoyed lunch here a few weeks ago & dinner was just as good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food and Fun for GroupschrisDined on 8/17/2014I've been to Troya several times and have always had a great time, excellent food and wonderful service.Special Features:
- Worth a visitOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/8/2014It's easy to find good places to eat in San Francisco, so conventioneers often don't leave the Union Square area. This part of Inner Richmond, however, is worth adventuring outside of the main convention drag. Several of the dishes had interesting taste combinations and the wait staff was very helpful in every possible way (getting us a cab home, etc.) If you want to find a place frequented by locals rather than visitors, this neighborhood is a great place to look and Troya is certainly an excellent option.Special Features:
- excellent restaurant, think smallfmt662Dined on 8/1/2014Food was outstanding, Turkish beer was new to me but delicious. Tables are pretty close together so getting in and out without whacking neighbors was a challenge. Highly recommend the lamb beyti.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome Brussel SproutsyumnapaDined on 8/1/2014Wonderful neighborhood restaurant with comfortable seating in an open floor plan with good of views of passersby on Clement, friendly attentive service, and delicious Turkish food. The spicy Brussels sprout appetizer/mezes was a perfectly crunchy, salted and moderately spicy treat. The arugula salad stood out for its unique mix of pomegranate seeds, sumac, cheese and delicate dressing. Waiter was very helpful choosing a Turkish wine to accompany our meal.Special Features:
- Isabel415VIPDined on 8/1/2014Our food was outstanding! Looking forward to a return visit.Special Features:
- The following 429 reviews are from the Troya Clement reviews archive.
- Cultural spotOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/21/2014Food was great. Turkish coffee is a must. Server was Turkish and took the time to go through the menu and recommend and explain different items. Would recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent FoodchrisDined on 7/19/2014GREAT food, wonderful service and perfect for small groups.Special Features:
- Visit to TurkeyOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 7/10/2014Troya is a good place to eat. Great cuisine and lots of breadsticks and side dishes. My favorite dishes were any of the kabobs and the falafel with the sautéed onions and cucumber and yogurt sauce.The service is good. I had to ask for some stuff but they helped you choose a dish perfectly. It was quiet when I was there but I don't know about other times. Overall it has awesome food and it should be on your list.Special Features:
- SandyVIPDined on 7/5/2014our favorites for lunch: chicken kabobs with chickpea salad and lamb meatball wrap!!Special Features:
- Troya on ClementOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/28/2014We were treated very well. The staff was pleasant and accommodating to our toddler. The food was excellent. We will return.Special Features:
- SandyVIPDined on 6/27/2014Delicious lamb kabob and fresh berries for dessert! Attentive to my gluten-free request. Excellent dining.Special Features:
- An old faithfulJeffDined on 6/19/2014The food at Troya's is consistently very good, with light versions of the Near Eastern cuisine of Turkey. We miss the lamb moussaka, one of the best we have had anywhere, but we understand how menus have to rotate dishes from time to time. We brought a couple who adored it. Most of our dishes were vegetarian and well prepared, with mixtures of spices that always work. Recommended without reservations (but get reservations on weekends; it does fill up).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Could not match their rave reviewsBrooklynDined on 6/8/2014Got seated early before the crowd arrived. Recommend that. Appetizers were mostly fried and worth it if it was good but cauliflower was a failure and left most of it on the plate. I ordered the lamb skewers and was very happy. My table partners ordered the vegetarian moussaka and the sandwich they are famous for that is cut up in rounds and they were not that good. I tasted both. Local beers great as was imports. Reasonably priced if you don't over order on the appetizers and skip dessert. Probably better restaurants for this type of food. Noisy, loud and seats too close if you arrive after 7pm.Special Features:
- soliddineoutDined on 5/10/2014food was solid and definitely better to share than to get one entree for yourself. 4 people should order 3 apps and 3 entrees. definitely no more than that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, great serviceDiner14Dined on 5/2/2014It was my first time here, and I went mainly because I just moved into the neighborhood and wanted something I could walk to. The Brussel's sprouts are awesome. The haloumi is good. The mousakka is good. That's all I had. Good neighborhood spot, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.Special Features:
- Great neighborhood diningOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/25/2014Excellent! We will be back. The grilled sardines are amazing.Special Features:
- YumOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/16/2014We had a wonderful server who provided a lot of accurate information about the food and what was in it, the spices, texture, flavors etc...we started with the pita bread and spreads appetizer (three wonderful items of hummus, thick yogurt and a delicious red dish i cant remember the name of) then the roasted cauliflower that was to die for and we each had a kabob, mine was super moist chicken and hers was lamb. We loved every single bite and would go back again in a ny minute.Special Features:
- Exotic and deliciousKiraLauraVIPDined on 4/11/2014This meal was awesome. Recommend the Brussels sprouts, grilled haloumi, sailors delight beef stew, and lamb behti. They serve a decent beer list. We had the Efes Dark from Turkey and Speakeasy Prohibition. The service was friendly and not very slow, kept coming back to see if we made up our mind and didn't hurry us either. Nice to have this restaurant in our neighborhood. What gave the whole meal an extra star for us was the exotic spices that are only in Turkish food that makes this restaurant stand out from the rest of the meals we can get around there. Their chefs are well-trained and the recipes use the spices to the fullest to bring out the maximum Turkish flavors. We'll be back often!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not your traditional Turkishninav364VIPDined on 3/22/2014We love Turkish food! We'd been to Turkey, tried many Turkish eateries in different countries,and last week driving through this SF neighborhood thought we were in luck running across the Troya.Turned out, it was not our lucky day.We ordered soup (split pea) of the day - it was watery, the chicken kebab came overcooked and very dry, with small amount of chickpeas on the bottom of the plate. Sardines were promised to be served with green salad -i only got couple of wilted leaves.Pitta chips were served dry with no oil or hummus accompaniment.We informed our server that we were in a hurry at the very beginning- it did not help!The wait was long even for a cup of soup (which obviously was not made to order), and after it for our main dishes.
- Used to be a great placeLocalgemfanDined on 3/18/2014we came here with our 7 month old and it was too noisy for him. use to be our fave restaurant and we wanted to take out baby there for the first time. either owners or chefs changed and the food is not the same, menu is significantly smaller and so are the portions. don't think we will be going there for a while if at all. too bad I really loved loved their food...
- Excellent, creative food servedsfjimboDined on 3/13/2014Excellent, creative food served in beautiful style.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great date night spotKellyTVIPDined on 1/22/2014Would definitely recommend Troya for a date night or intimate gathering with friends. It is very cozy and provides quiet space to catch up.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Menu changes? New chef?OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 1/22/2014Troya is a neighborhood gem, but would love to see a few of the amazing original menu items back - Mediterranean salad, and Borak. The last trip left us wondering if it was a new chef????
- Wonderful food and serviceSharkyFoodyDined on 1/19/2014I absolutely love Troya! Although parking in this neighborhood can be a bit of a pain, I think it's worth a trip out to the Inner Richmond to eat here. The food is so balanced and delicious, but never leaves you feeling heavy. The service is so attentive but not pushy, and everything comes to your table sizzling hot with minimal wait. Troya is an absolute gem!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Size does matterGargantuaDined on 1/16/2014We've been in troya before. Restaurant changed big time:((( menu shrieked from 6 pages to 1. Not only that... Size of the portion was reduced more than twice!! I think this is tipycal rip off nothing else. So, don't be surprised by high price for nothing...
- New Chef Leaves Bad Taste in MouthOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 1/8/2014We used to go once a month to Troya however we won't be going back. The owners brought on a new chef; cut back on the portions that they normally give you; they've cut back on everything but still charge you the same; the food tastes more bland. We won't be going back. Sad.
- Interesting...CLJLVIPDined on 1/5/2014There's no "Wow" factor but not bad either. The portions were on the small side whether it be appetizer or entrée. We had two appetizers of crispy brussel sprouts and zucchini cakes which were tasty but small. Then had the yellowtail kabobs and lamb kabobs followed by baklava for dessert. Must admit the baklava was delicious though. However, we left there still hungry. Service was spotty probably due to us using a voucher. It's a definite maybe for me.Special Features:
- TroyadogmamaDined on 1/4/2014Food was a little on the bland side. Have had better experiences there before. Maybe it was an off night in the kitchen.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I've been to this restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 1/2/2014I've been to this restaurant several times before and really enjoy the grilled sardines, the beat salad and this time we had the Yakut (?) Turkish wine and really enjoyed that. They discontinued the lamb chops so had a lamb type stew and the lamb kebabs on a bed of chickpeas. Everything was tasty but the stew was tepid in temperature. I also remember that issue on another occasion with a similar type dish. We needed to order something to offset the flavors so ordered the cucumber salad which was delicious as contrast to everything else. The service is usually so friendly and warm, but perhaps just after the holidays we are all a little tired or with less energy. But no big complaints there. Overall delicious flavors!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good flavored turkish foodnikkiDined on 12/23/2013Nice menu, great service! Would be nice if entree had some sort of veggie accompaniment.Special Features:
- Great Mediterranean Meal!MoogieDined on 12/21/2013The staff is friendly and helpful, the ambiance is nice, and the food is very good at Troya Clement. I have eaten there a number of times, and the quality of the food is consistently excellent and reasonably priced, although the menu is rather limited. I have special dietary needs (I can't eat gluten or nuts) and the staff has always been accommodating. I especially enjoy the grilled halloumi appetizer and the marinated chicken kebab. And for dessert, the chocolate pot de creme is fantastic! I highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A disappointmentchrissyVIPDined on 12/21/2013I was looking forward to Troyat because one of my favorite places is Turkish Kitchen in Berkeley. Troya seemed more "upscale" , but as it turned out, the food left a lot to be desired. The beyti was hard. Not sure why, but the plate arrived piping hot to the touch, while the food on the plate was just luke-warm. Was the beyti prepared in advance? or even worse - frozen and reheated? The chicken kababs and the mousakka were just ok. The chicken cuvec was delicious, creative and very well prepared. The prices were a bit high and the servings small . The service was great and the people working there were very friendly, but I think the next time I want turkish food, I will head over to Berkeley.
- Turkish neighborhood gemEMBEEVIPDined on 12/20/2013Great food, good pricing, and attentive service. I would recommend highly!Special Features:

Katie Couric Accompanies SecDef On Middle East/Central Asia Trip
CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor Katie Couric departed last night for a reporting trip to the Middle East and Central Asia. She is accompanying Secretary of Defense Robert Gates on the five-day mission to several as-yet undisclosed countries.
CBS says the trip "represents the most access Gates has given to a reporter, enabling Couric to paint a full and unique picture of Gates, the first defense secretary ever invited to continue his service under the new administration of the opposite party." Look for Couric's reports all week on the Evening News on CBSNews.com and on 60 Minutes Sunday.
It was during a reporting trip to Iraq in Sept. 2007 that Couric found herself in the right place at the right time for a high-level one-on-one interview…

O'Mahony On Win Over Australia
Ireland flanker Peter O'Mahony on beating Australia
Ireland flanker Peter O'Mahony on beating Australia
Captain Peter O'Mahony says Munster must be more consistent as the new Pro12 season kicks off.
Munster's performance against Ulster was "not good enough" and must not be repeated if they are to beat Glasgow, according to Peter O'Mahony.
Munster captain Peter O'Mahony looks ahead to the Pro12 semi-final
Munster flanker Peter O'Mahony, Leinster lock Devin Toner and Ulster winger Andrew Trimble have been nominated for the Irish Rugby Union Players' Association's players' player of the year award.
Munster flanker and captain Peter O'Mahony has undergone re-constructive shoulder surgery today, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.
Munster are sweating over the fitness of Peter O'Mahony who underwent a scan today after suffering a shoulder injury in his side's 47-23 Heineken Cup victory over Toulouse.
Munster may have to plan without Donnacha Ryan for their Heineken Cup quarter-final against Toulouse on Saturday, but expect Peter O'Mahony to be fit.
Peter O'Mahony believes Ireland must step up and take their chance to win a title
Peter O'Mahony has said he cannot imagine what it would be to cap the biggest week of his career by winning the Six Nations championship.
Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt says the re-selection of Peter O'Mahony at blindside flanker in the Ireland pack was down to the greater physicality be brings to the team.
Peter O'Mahony has returned to the Ireland starting XV to play France in Saturday's crunch RBS 6 Nations clash in the only change from the starting side that comprehensively beat Italy a week ago.
Munster captain Peter O'Mahony is expected to retake his place in the starting line-up when the Ireland team to name France in this weekend's Six Nations decider is named on Thursday.
Joe Schmidt has made only one change to the Ireland starting line-up to face Italy in the Six Nations on Saturday, Iain Henderson replacing the injured Peter O'Mahony.
Brian O'Driscoll's long Ireland farewell will not knock Joe Schmidt's men off their Six Nations stride, according to flanker Peter O'Mahony.
Peter O'Mahony is in a race against time to be fit to face Italy
Peter O'Mahony is the only serious injury concern to emerge from Ireland's disappointing 13-10 RBS 6 Nations defeat to England on Saturday.
Ireland's raw desire shocked Wales into Six Nations submission, according to man of the match Peter O'Mahony.
Peter O'Mahony has warned Ireland that superstardom is no precursor to RBS 6 Nations success.
Chris Henry will mess with Scotland's minds at the breakdown in Ireland's Six Nations opener, according to his back-row colleague Peter O'Mahony.

Helping job-seekers become confident job candidates.
By Eleanor Guderian, ACG, CL
Judy was a shining example of the good things our program had done. A few months earlier, our club – the Stamano Toastmasters in Stanwood, Washington – had launched a Speechcraft program for the unemployed. Layoffs and unemployment were a dire problem in our area, and we wanted to help by teaching Toastmasters skills to people trying to secure jobs.
Judy stood before our group, giving her final Speechcraft presentation. She concluded with the following words:
"Right here in this room with a group called Toastmasters, this is real. You have invited a motley crew of the unemployed into your organization and taught us skills that may enable us to score that job. Each of you has given freely and generously of your time, talent and energy – at no cost to us."
Then she added, "I believe that my fellow Speechcrafters would agree, and so I ask them to join me in giving you a round of applause. To the Toastmasters! A class act!"
And with that, the members of the Speechcraft program stood and clapped enthusiastically.
These Speechcraft participants had learned to give excellent speeches – with fewer "ahs" and "ums." They had developed skill in answering hard questions – even those impossible queries asked by job interviewers. Through evaluations, they practiced giving newly-learned advice to each other. Some took on leadership roles in the meetings, surprising themselves with increased confidence and ability. They were prepared to walk with heads held high into new job opportunities.
Grappling with Job Losses
Stanwood is located in Snohomish County, in the U.S. state of Washington, where times have grown very tough in recent months. At one point, the county's unemployment rate had grown to nearly 10 percent, the highest rate in more than 25 years. Layoffs at Boeing Commercial Airplanes (headquartered in Washington) led to the loss of jobs for contractors and aerospace suppliers. Construction projects died, manufacturing plants closed and biotech companies downsized their workforces. People who had been securely employed for most of their lives were starting over.
Thus, our club turned to Speechcraft – a short-term program designed to teach public speaking skills and provide growth opportunities for people without the requirement of Toastmasters membership. The Speechcraft program's purpose is to demonstrate the organization's vision and service while bringing new members into a club. We hoped it would be a win-win situation: Participants would learn skills to help them gain jobs, while our club would expand its membership and also inspire members with a new and different program.
The Daily Herald, Snohomish County's largest paper, promoted the program in its JobSource section with a full-color picture and eye-catching article. Other papers printed news releases. A local company helped pay for the Speechcraft materials, and the public library offered its conference room.
Within hours of newspaper distribution, the first e-mail preregistrations arrived – and they just kept coming. To meet the growing demand, the Stamano Toastmasters offered to replace the regular meeting schedule with an additional class. Speechcraft manuals were ordered a second, then a third time. Many of those who registered were even committing to an hour commute! Our club members realized they would have high expectations, so we focused on getting ready.
Participants Make Progress
The Speechcraft manuals provided a basic structure and schedule of projects. During each session, the program leaders made the projects and Toastmasters activities applicable to specific job searches. As the participants progressed, they took on more meeting roles, such as providing and using a word of the day and leading Table Topics.
"It was an opportunity to challenge myself in unfamiliar territory, to build confidence and to work on my communication skills," says Jane, one of the program participants.
Don, another participant, said he was stumbling on his "ums" when he joined. "I have improved the 'um' problem and gained confidence in speaking to my audience," he notes.
Celebrating a Job Well Done
The nine-week Speechcraft series ended with an awards celebration and party. Eight participants received certificates for completing the manual speeches. Among them was a woman named Carol, who had found work as a substitute teacher – and credited the Speechcraft program with helping her perform well in the job.
"I feel more assured that I can give clear directions," she said.
"Last week I was involved in two important meetings," Carol added. "Before opening my mouth, I quickly thought of Speechcraft and having an outline in my head. Those Table Topics were good practice!"
Looking at the Results
Did the Stamano Toastmasters benefit by running this program? Club membership did not significantly increase, but several participants have promised to visit clubs closer to their homes. Not everyone who registered completed the course, but those who attended even briefly gained valuable experience and have become familiar with the vision and service of Toastmasters International.
The graduates, on the other hand, who consistently completed assignments and gave speeches, have developed valuable communication and leadership skills to take with them to their interviews, their new jobs and their everyday interactions. In turn, their determination to change a difficult situation into an opportunity for personal and professional growth has inspired the Stamano club. John, one of our recharged members, expressed that new enthusiasm to serve by asking, "How soon can we do it again?"
Does your club need to be rejuvenated? Why not serve the needs of others by offering your skills and experience? You'll be amazed at the overflow of energy that comes back to you.

- Fabulous!DannyDined on 11/22/2014Our dinner was fabulous. The filet was cooked perfectly - medium rare as requested. Everything from appetizer to salad to our main dishes- Filet & salmon to sweets at the end were fantastic. Well prepared, very nice combinations of ingredients and most importantly- everything tasted great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our exceptional service experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/22/2014Flemings is an outstanding restaurant with exceptional waitstaff. The filet mignon I ordered was cooked exactly how I ordered it. I got Mac n cheese, peppercorn-Parmesan mashed potatoes, and asparagus for sides and they were delicious! Our waiter was named Zak and he was very knowledgeable of the menu. He was promt, courteous, and made sure every request we had was met. He is charismatic and light-hearted which made our meal more enjoyable because we did not feel intimidated when asking questions. I recommend that everyone come to this restaurant at least once (but chances are you'll be back for a 2nd, 3rd.. time) and hopefully you get the pleasure of having Zak as you're server! You will not be disappointed with any item off the menu!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent meal til....JoannePDined on 11/19/2014My husband and I went for a celebratory dinner. The food and service were excellent until.....11 pm at home and we were both still wide awake. We had asked for decaf coffee with dessert and it had to have been caffeinated- we were both up all night! It didn't ruin the wonderful experience we had but I sure was tired at work the next day!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MartyDined on 11/16/2014Excellent experience would go back and anytime food was great service was excellentSpecial Features:
- Consistently excellento000VIPDined on 11/14/2014This is a destination restaurant that is always a tremendous dining experience. Our favorite for both regular and special occasion dining. Service is always exceptional. Jenna our server is great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Napa Valley girl was quite impressedNapaValleySpoiledDined on 11/13/2014Food was amazing, wine list was very sophisticated and the service was unbeatable! Our server Tony was very attentive and the bussing staff was very engaged. It is a little pricey so we will keep this gem as our "special occassion" place and i would definitely bring my out of town clients here. I was born and raised in Napa Valley and just moved here 2 months ago and one thing I was worried about the most was if CT would be able to live up to anything close to the restaurants in Napa....so bravo Flemings!!! It felt like home!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AMAZINGOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/8/2014My husband and I went to Flemings to celebrate both of our birthdays. To say that the food was amazing would be an understatement. This is by far one of the top 5 steaks either of us have ever had. I had a filet mignon and ate all 11 oz of it! My husband got the bone in rib eye and he enjoyed every last bite. The mashed potatoes were simply "to die for" although I would have loved a bigger portion! The service was great as well.Special Features:
- High End ChainPappaVDined on 11/1/2014I have been to many high end steakhouses and this was ok in comparison. I did later find out it was a chain. Not saying it was bad by any means, but when looking at overall value, I think there are much better places to go for the money. I got the aged NY Strip which was cooked to perfection (Medium Rare); however, I did notice butter was used. This would suggest they are using USDA prime, which is not the creme de la creme. The meat was not grass fed or organic. I was rather disappointed with the quality of the sides. Overall the service was top notch and the food was above the average steakhouse.Special Features:
- DisappointedBluedogDined on 10/30/2014I called a few days before to make sure our reservation was there. It was. I then got an e- mail confirmation from Open Table. We arrived at Flemings to be told we did not have a reservation. It took them at least 10 minutes to get it settled even after I showed them the e- mail. They brought out the menus and an I pad. The I pad had their list of wines that they were discontinuing. After looking at that list and the wine menu, we ordered a bottle from the being discontinued list only to find out they did not have it. Then ordered a bottle from the regular menu only to find out that they were out of that too. The waiter suggested another bottle which, of course, was $25 more than the others. Very annoying. We will not be returning.
- On the fence ...caelplVIPDined on 10/24/2014Most everything was just good about Fleming's; I was surprised that it was not excellent. First, I could barely see the menu due to the rather dark lighting, the salads we chose were fine, our entrees were cooked perfectly (swordfish and filet), but the their signature potatoes were very greasy. And, desserts were the best course of all (creme brulee and chocolate/walnut something-or-other pie).Special Features:
- Amazing Service and AtmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/21/2014Our waiter was fantastic. He was funny, provided excellent service and was very personable. The food was amazing the the atmosphere was second to none. I was taking my fiancee out for her birthday with some friends and we have a great time. Thank you.Special Features:
- Wonderful TimePNakano933Dined on 10/11/2014My wife and I celebrated my birthday recently at Flemings and had a marvelous time. Our server Chad was very attentive and explained the menu and specials expertly. Our steaks were first class and prepared to perfection. We also the the chocolate lava cake which was awesome and not to be missed. I received a nice birthday card, chocolates and a nice visit from the manager. A first class Restuarant with impeccable service that's not to be missed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/11/2014Everything was outstanding from beginning to end. The service was great and the food was exceptional. Will definitely be back soon.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 10/10/2014This was our first time dining at Fleming's Steakhouse and we absolutely LOVED it! We wanted to dine somewhere different to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary. Upon arrival, our server asked us if we were celebrating anything special. We told him that it was our anniversary and he even gave us a little gift before we left. The food was divine and the service was fabulous. What more could you ask for?Special Features:
- Great for CelebrationSteveVIPDined on 9/28/2014I had put a message on my OpenTable app indicating that it was our first anniversary and that I wanted a romantic table. They not only gave us a nice table but everyone wished us a happy 1st anniversary who came in contact with us. They also had a card with everyone's signature, a box of Chocolate for my girlfriend, and a $25 gift certificate as well. It was wonderful and the food and service were perfect.Special Features:
- Absolutely ExcellentacretinDined on 9/26/2014We first tried Fleming's for my husband's birthday. Just incredibly high quality. We've been back multiple times and each time has been wonderful. The steaks are obviously amazing but the small plates are fabulous as well. Order the Fleming's potatoes....I'm still trying to replicate them at home!Special Features:
- Good food but not at that price!ToniVIPDined on 9/25/2014Food was decent, for the amount of money you'd spend for it, but nothing amazing. We're talking $50+ steaks (cooked to perfection certainly), but totalling $300 for two people, only including a couple of apps, sides and drinks. Service was very apathetic. No real interest in making personal recommendations. Not even any specials offered for the evening. Would NOT recommend, only because it's way too much money for lukewarm service and "okay" food.Special Features:
- Delicious!Tablefor2Dined on 9/25/2014Our waitress was very good at describing the Chef's specials and we were delighted with the mixed grill of shrimp, steak and lamb chops. We also chose the chef's special dessert...pumpkin cheesecake which was delicious. We had a great dining experience but this is definitely a special occasion restaurant as it was quite expensiveSpecial Features:
- TonniganDined on 9/21/2014We dine at the restaurant frequently. Food is always good, servers excellent, and decor is great. Parking continues to be problem and price is high for a West Hartford, CT restaurant. We can dine at a similar restaurant in NYC at prices equal to or lower than Flemings for a better overall experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall GoodvikingmanDined on 9/17/2014We go to Fleming's every year for our anniversary. This year was was pretty good, my only complaints being that they've raised their prices a bit, as well as having had some issues with getting bread that was cold on the inside, twice. The steaks were excellent, as usual, so at least they haven't lost their touch with that.Special Features:
- Amazing Food and ServiceSteakUrClaimDined on 9/13/2014We went to Flemmings for our two year anniversary the service was phenomenal and the food was the best we ever had! We ate every last fork full of everything we ordered because it was just too good to resist!! The service exceeded expectations and after the waitress found out it was our anniversary we even received a card and a gift. Would recommend this place over and over again especially for a romantic dinner. Thank You FlemmingsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Flemings is a Great RestaurantenjoyfinediningDined on 8/31/2014Excellent food served in a wonderful environment and outstanding customer service!!Special Features:
- not as good as Providence, RIMattVandervoortDined on 8/29/2014Was a little disappointed with the food. The taste of the steak was off and the portions seemed small compared to the meal we had last week in Providence, RI location. I sort of expect Providence to be better since it is conveniently located next to Ruth Chris and Capital Grille within walking distance, but a variation this drastic was not expected...this place needs to step it up.Special Features:
- Consistently wonderfulBroshinskyDined on 8/24/2014Our second time at this location. Staff was attentive and catered to our every need. We ordered the prime rib which was soft and flavorful. My Fleming potatoes were delicious and not overpowering with jalepeno. Wedge salads were fresh and clean. For dessert the Carrot cake is NOT loaded with cream cheese frosting. The cream cheese frosting compliments the carrot cake without excess. Although a bit pricey, there are always specials to make any occasion special. I would have given 4.5 stars if I could.Special Features:
- Great Overall experienceSandraDDined on 8/21/2014My husband and I celebrated our 21st anniversary at Fleming's and had a wonderful evening. The staff knew it was our anniversary and presented us with a card and truffles for dessert which was very kind. The food was outstanding as always and the service was impeccable. Yes, it is pricey but you get what you pay for. For starters they give you a napkin color selection to ensure you do not get lint on your clothes, they think of everything. Steaks were perfectly cooked and of course we ordered Fleming's famous potatoes. Perfect night out.Special Features:
- Good food and serviceAldenteDined on 8/18/2014We enjoyed our prime rib dinner. It was a $30 special which included a salad, a side, and dessert. Alas, this Sun. and Mon. night special will end soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/11/2014We had a fabulous anniversary dinner here with our two kids. Our waiter Zachary was attentive, interested, and friendly, he did a superlative job. The food we all had was all fantastic! The carpaccio was probably the best I've ever had!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food but but bill surpriseCcallahanDined on 8/8/2014Had a great meal at Flemings. Everything we had was prepared well, served hot, and timely. I was however surprised when the bill came and found that the wine suggested to me by the waiter doubled the price of wines I was looking at and discussing with him as options. I was looking at bottles of wine prices between 60-90 dollars per bottle, the waiter suggested a bottle not on the list and told me it was comparable to what I was looking at on e list. I took his suggestion and the wine was good. However, when the bill came the bottle was $150. More than I waned to spend. It was my fault to not question the price when it was suggested but the waiter knew my price range and didn't offer up the cost either.Special Features:
- SuzanneVIPDined on 8/8/2014We went for a wine dinner last week and the food and service were outstanding and would certainly return soon!!Special Features:
- Best steak I ever hadKimZDined on 8/7/2014This was by far the best steak I have ever eaten. Flemings beats Ruths Chris and Morton's hands down. The service was fantastic. Can't wait to go back.Special Features:
- Never disappointedCTPatrickVIPDined on 8/3/2014Food is consistantly good with a great wait staff. The carrot cake is the best. I can't wait to go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Anniversary Dinner!SteveDined on 8/2/2014Everything was awesome for our dinner, prompt service, awesome food in all respects and great ambiance. The only room for improvement would be to check in a little less (we felt interrupted frequently) and skip the chilled salad forks. In any event, we'll definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome Dining ExperienceTracy44Dined on 8/2/2014Flemings is rather expensive but the service, food and ambience is worth it! The wine list has something for everyone - it's varied in selection and cost! The manager came over, addressed us by name, to make sure we were enjoying our experience. Class act! When our server presented our check he had his own business card. I thought this was a great touch, especially when this restaraunt does a lot of business lunches and dinners! The only downside is finding parking. Parking spaces are limited around the restaraunt and parking isn't free! I highly recommend Flemings!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The total POE!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fran1928Dined on 7/19/2014Noise level far far far too great. We wont go again. Also the child with us had her "French fries" completely burned. I know I should have ask for more but I didn't. Her meat was OK. My small beef plate was excellent, The noise level just ruined the whole evening.Special Features:
- AlanDined on 7/19/2014We were placed in a dark room in the back of the restaurant when plenty of space was available in the main dining area. I would not use this facility again if it could not be confirmed ahead of time that we would not be placed in this unpleasant area.
- Perfect Steak!phillykidsDined on 7/17/2014This was the best steak I've had since last time I was in Kansas City! Iron-crusted prep is the way to go. Heirloom tomato salad was soggy but the Caesar was great. Desserts were delightful - simple but good. Recommend the Chocolate lava cake. Specialty drinks were so-so but the wine list was good. Excellent coffee - hot, fresh, and very tasty! A bit dark inside for my liking and rather noisy but we had a wonderful meal and the service was excellent. Will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Dark City Blue: A Tom Bishop Rampage

Sample of Dark City Blue: A Tom Bishop Rampage
Chapter One
Two days ago, division found a half-beaten, half-pretty, naked fifteen-year-old girl stumbling down the Hume Highway. The case got bumped to Sex Crimes, then the CO bumped it to Tom Bishop. The girl didn't speak a word of English, and after a translator arrived she didn't speak a word of anything. Yesterday, Bishop and Ellison hit up every pimp and whorehouse in a two-kilometre radius of where she was found. An hour ago, they got an address from a gonzo smut shooter as to where simulated rape videos were being shot. Only they weren't so simulated.
Ellison shifted her attention from the dirty windscreen to the clock on her phone. 'What the fuck takes so long?'
'Relax,' Bishop said. 'It takes as long as it takes.'
She mumbled a profanity and shifted her weight from one arse cheek to another.
Bishop lit a cigarette and wound down the window. The shit smell of three-day-old roasting garbage blew through the car from the rubbish bins some bastard had kicked over the night before. He fixed his gaze on the green stucco house at the end of the street. Three bedrooms. One bathroom. Paint-chipped walls. Overgrown lawns and a burnt-out shell of a car in the yard. A shithole.
The radio crackled to life. 'Any movement?'
Ellison picked it up, pushed it to her lips. 'Nothing but the street.'
Moose and Winters were around the back of the house doing the same thing they were: sweating, waiting and trying to stay alert.
Twenty minutes and another cigarette later, Bishop watched a car pull up in the rear-view. He slipped on his sunglasses, climbed out and clocked the street: empty in every direction.
Reeves emerged from the fleet and approached Bishop with a shake of his head. 'They wouldn't do it, mate.'
Ellison kicked the side of the car. 'Fuck.'
She left a dent in the door that Bishop ignored. 'Did you go to Kean?' he asked.
'And to Beechworth and Pointon. All said the same thing: not enough evidence for a warrant.'
A breeze pushed across Bishop's sweaty face as he turned to watch the green stucco house. His mind raced with all the horrible things that were going on inside. Still, probably nowhere near as bad as the reality of it.
He took a breath.
Fuck it.
Bishop popped the boot, pulled out a shotgun, racked it and moved toward the house with Ellison and Reeves in his wake. 'You hear that?' he said.
Ellison looked up and down the street. 'Hear what?'
'Screams. Waiting for a warrant, we heard screams then entered.'
Ellison pulled her weapon, checked the chamber, let the slide fall back into position. 'Works for me.'
'Reeves, go get lost in traffic.'
Reeves nodded, headed to his car. A moment later, it pulled into the street and the engine faded away.
Bishop wiped his face with the sleeve of his leather jacket as they crouched behind a dilapidated picket fence. Ellison handed him the radio. He pushed it to his face.
'I want you boys to wait a couple of minutes, then meet me around the back.'
Winters' voice filtered back through the two-way. 'Sure, boss.'
'Where do you want me?' Ellison asked. She couldn't keep still; her eyes darted every which way.
'Front of the house, pick the door quietly.'
'What if the shit hits the fan?'
Bishop gave it some thought, rubbed his jaw. 'Then kick it in.' Bent at the waist, he made it down the street and into the front yard.
There were two cars parked on the kerb and a shitbox Ford up on blocks. Bishop slid in behind it, peeked over the bonnet. Tattered yellow curtains that were once white hung in the windows and blocked any way of seeing in. He moved closer. Dry grass crunched under his feet as he crept between the house and the fence. The windows were painted black and beyond that, at the rear of the property, lay burnt grass and a makeshift fireplace surrounded by empty longnecks and cigarette butts.
He pushed against the back wall of the house and waited.
Winters and Moose. Each held their weapon with one hand while they climbed over the rear fence with the other. The pair wore Hawaiian shirts, loud, offensive. They sidled up to Bishop. 'I take it we're going in, boss?' Winters asked.
Bishop nodded. 'There's no warrant; you boys up for that?'
'Cool with us,' Moose said. 'I'm assuming we heard screams?'
Bishop nodded. His eyes shifted to the back door. 'That thing locked?'
Winters slipped his fingers around the knob and quietly turned. Locked.
'Pick it.'
Winters got started as Bishop knelt down beside the basement trapdoor. The forty-dollar padlock was a good attempt at security, but the rusted-out latch it was connected to wasn't. Bishop pulled his flick knife and undid the screws. He looked to Winters and Moose and their Hawaiian shirts. 'Try to blend in.' And then he stepped into the darkness.
The smell was terrible. Shards of light pushed through the cracks in the newspaper-covered windows. It took a few moments for his eyes to adjust to the black. Dog cages lined each side of the damp pit.
A sound.
Bishop swung his shotgun low and to the left: a cage. Naked girl. Twelve years old, maybe. She huddled in a corner and tried to cover herself, but there wasn't much space for her to move and nothing to cover herself with.
Bishop brought a finger to his lips. 'Shh.'
Whatever language she spoke, she understood.
He dug his hand into his pocket and pulled out a flashlight. Hitting the switch, he scanned the basement: two more cages, two more girls.
The floorboards above creaked. Dust sprinkled down and fell through the light; somebody was in the house and, judging by the steps, they were around one hundred and fifty kilos' worth.
Bishop headed up the three wooden steps, wrapped his fingers around the doorknob, opened it a crack and peeked through. The hall was empty. He stepped onto the warped floorboards and closed the basement door behind him. Despite their attempts at blacking out the windows, the hall was bright. The walls were bare, yellow, the floors scuffed and dusty. Muffled sounds of fucking leaked from the front of the house. Bishop raised his shotgun and took baby steps toward the source. Each room he passed was bare and cold. Nobody lived there and hadn't for a long time.
The scene was common enough: the makers shoot fuck films in empty houses for a couple of weeks before moving on to another location. By the time the movies are shot, cut, distributed and intercepted by the VPD, the location is already two months old and pointless tracking down.
Bishop passed through the kitchen. The fuck sounds grew louder as he neared the doorframe and waited, the nightmare only inches away on the other side of the flimsy wall. Sweat ran down his face. His palms were wet. He wiped them on his jeans, took a breath … Then his heart stopped.
A barrel pushed into the back of his neck. 'Easy,' the voice said as a hand took away his shotgun. Bishop turned and ran his gaze from the .357 up the arm of the musclebound monster. He was tattooed from head to toe, With a minor tilt of his head, the monster motioned to the other room and Bishop stepped into the lounge.
Four men.
Girl on the floor. Crying. Dirty mattress.
Table of knives.
Above the girl, a fifth man. Masked. Naked, Machete in hand.
Bishop was outmanned and outgunned. 'You're all under arrest,' he said.
Nobody was amused.
Ellison kicked the front door to splinters. Scanned the room. Aimed. Bishop hit the deck. She fired. Sprayed what was left of the monster's head on the wall.
Scumbags yanked out weapons.
Sidearm in hand, Bishop rose to his feet. The masked man moved on him. Machete above his head. Bishop fired. The blast slammed him back into the wall.
A scumbag lurched at Ellison. She fired. Missed. He tackled her to the ground.
Bishop felt a gun on him: the director. He raised his weapon as the girl on the mattress jumped to her feet. Terrified. She tried to run, didn't know where. Bishop shifted his aim.
'Down,' he yelled.
She didn't hear. Couldn't hear. The director about to shoot them both. No time: Bishop slammed the butt of his gun across her cheek. Out cold.
Scumbag fired. Missed. Hit Winters instead. He hit the floor.
They opened up. Bishop took out the director as Moose put six into the one on the right.
Ellison was still down on the floor. She had a bastard twice her size in a headlock. Veins on his forehead popped. Spit pushed though his clenched teeth. A moment later, his body went limp.
As fast as all the bad noise started, it came to a stop, leaving only the heavy breathing of the living and gun smoke lingering in the air.
Moose helped Winters to his feet. He leant against the wall and coughed.
'You alright?' Bishop asked.
Winters tore at the velcro and let the bullet-ridden vest drop to his feet. He ran his fingers over his chest. 'Think I busted a rib.'
'You'll live.'
Ellison peeled herself off the floor, scooped up her weapon.
'How about you?' Bishop asked.
'I'm good.' She motioned to the brick shithouse on the floor. 'Better than him anyway.'
The smoke burnt Bishop's throat. He lit a cigarette and called to Moose. 'There's three girls in the basement; get them out and call an ambulance.'
As Moose left, the adrenaline in Bishop's body began to bleed away. He dry-rubbed his eyes. When he opened them, it was to the sight of a naked child, battered, bruised and out cold by his feet. Bishop lifted her onto the couch. She weighed next to nothing, and his leather jacket looked enormous draped over her small body. Greasy hair lay over her face; he slipped a strand behind her ear.
'What is she, thirteen?' Ellison asked.
'If that.'
A cracked window from a stray bullet let a warm breeze flow over the room, drying the blood on the walls. In the distance, sirens blared.
If there's one thing worse than a crooked cop on your heels then it's a whole unit of them.
A fistful of people are murdered, fifteen million dollars is stolen and detective Tom Bishop is stuck in the middle. When he hits the street, every clue points in the same direction his colleagues in a police department demoralised by cutbacks and scandals. Hunted, alone and with no place left to turn, Bishop embarks on a hellish journey down into the gutters where right and wrong quickly become twisted and problems are solved with gunfire and bloodshed.
Over the next two days, Tom Bishop will be cornered. He will be beaten. He will bust into prison. He will shoot at police. He will team up with violent criminals. He will become one of them. He will break every rule in the book, chasing a lead nobody else will go near down a rabbit hole of corruption, murder and buried secrets.
Will Bishop become the very monster he set out to destroy?

The attorney for Myles Stout, sentenced to two years in prison and 12 years probation Monday for the shooting death of an 18-year-old friend, told the judge he wants a new trial and likely will appeal his client's sentencing.
On Monday, Hank Hill told Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Barry Steelman at the end of a three-hour hearing that he plans to file the request. While he does, Stout will remain free on bond and has 30 days to file his notice to seek a new trial.
On March 9, 2011, at a get-together at a friend's house, Stout, now 22, stuck a pistol in the chest of Myles Compton and pulled the trigger, killing him. Stout later said he thought the pistol was empty.
"I can't imagine taking any weapon, firearm and shoving it into another person's body," Steelman told Stout in Monday's hearing. "I certainly can't imagine doing that and then pulling the trigger."
The judge said there were "disturbing things" about Stout's case that made it different from other accidental shooting cases he'd overseen.
During the hearing, Stout apologized to the family for his actions and said that "there hasn't been a day go by where I haven't wished it was me instead of him."
But Steelman questioned Stout's sincerity.
"I was not too terribly impressed today, if at all, at Mr. Stout's display of what he intends to show as remorse," Steelman said. "I don't think he gets it."
Prosecutors sought a conviction for second-degree murder, which would have carried a 15- to 25-year sentence. But a jury in September found Stout, 22, guilty of reckless homicide and reckless endangerment instead.
Stout received four years for the homicide and two for the endangerment charge. Steelman decided to run the sentences consecutively.
Both Cheryl and Jesse Compton, Myles Compton's parents, testified during the hearing.
"Myles Kinsey Stout, may you never forget what you did and may you pay fully for your shameful behavior," Cheryl read from the stand.
Witnesses testified in the trial that Stout was at the 9125 Stoney Mountain Drive home of Kevin Driscoll when Compton came to visit. Driscoll brought out two pistols -- a .40-caliber Sig Sauer and a 9mm Smith & Wesson -- to show the guests and unloaded them before passing them around. A short time later, Stout picked up the .40-caliber, pointed it into Compton's chest and fired.
Stout first lied and told 911 operators and police that Compton shot himself, but he later admitted pulling the trigger, saying he thought the gun was unloaded.

Chinese Twitter goes mobile for iPhone and Android.
Weibo is a 'mini-blogging' service launched by Chinese internet firm SINA. Users post short messages, with the ability to add pictures, links and other content, using a follow-based system to keep tabs on what other people are saying.
Sound familiar? Yes, Weibo is regularly described as 'The Chinese Twitter', and for good reason. It launched in 2009, and is now reportedly used by 30% of Chinese internet users: 140 million people at the end of the first quarter of 2011.
Like Twitter, the service also now has a mobile apps element. SINA has just launched iPhone and Android apps for Weibo, providing access to its core features on the go.
The description on the App Store and Android Market is brief and to the point, giving little away on specific features of the apps, favouring instead a description of Weibo as "the new inter-active application that will be widely used, fast spread and it surely will be distinguished to the world".
That does imply a global focus though: the Weibo apps are available around the world, not just in China.
