Zombies big and small are instructed to assemble at the Woodlawn Shopping Center (1500 West Littleton Boulevard #207 Littleton, CO 80120) after 11:00am to touch up your decrepidness in preparation for the march through Historic Downtown Littleton starting at Noon.
Participants will end their crawl a few minutes later at the Reinke Bros. Haunted Mansion (5663 S Prince Street Littleton CO 80120) where all those in costume will be treated to a feast of roasted pig to satiate their thurst for flesh and blood.
The parade will be led by a New Orleans Style Funeral Jazz Band and start West down Littleton Blvd to Main and then S Rapp St. At the half-way point the crowd will smell cooking Pig Flesh and turn South to W Alamo Ave. and then proceed East to S Prince St. As the smell of swine grows stronger, the hoard will turn North and with renewed vigor stumble their way into the The Haunted Mansion parking lot. The entire length of the crawl is about 1.2 miles.
Food, Prizes, and photo opportunities will reward all those who kick off the cobwebs and raise from their coffins for the event.

Several Denver haunted houses are getting nation-wide attention. The haunted houses featured here at Denver Haunted House Guide.com are consistently scaring people and it's being noticed by the press.
Metromix recently featured a story on the 13th Door haunted house because it was selected as one of the Top 13 haunted attractions in America in an article that has received national attention. The legendary haunted house was selected for the honors for its consistent scares and storyline. Among the other 12 haunted attractions selections on the list was Erebus, the World's Largest haunted house, located in Detroit, Michigan.
The original Barrington Hotel was condemned and closed in 1912. Local legend attributes the hotels demise to the owner's sleazy nephew, Andrew. Gambling debt had made Andrew desperate for money and his Uncles refusal to help him had driven him mad. It was reported that during his Uncles annual Hallows Eve Ball, Andrew had returned to the hotel, boarded up all the exits, trapping all the party goers inside.
It wasn't the screams coming from those who couldn't escape that would haunt the would-be rescuers that night. It was the horror they found once they had broken the doors down. Everyone was dead, including a newly-wed couple. The bride haunts the hotel searching for her husbands dead body and vowing that she will find Andrew herself and kill him. Stay out of her way unless you want her to find you first.
Andrew Barrington was never found and legend has it that he and those he killed still haunt the hotel to this day. The only survivor of that evening lived because he found the 13th Door.

Denver Haunted Houses l Will The Real #1 Rated Haunted House Please Stand Up!
With the Denver haunted house season fast approaching, it seems especially important to understand where haunted house ratings come from. After all, if you are counting on these ratings to determine which Denver haunted houses you would like to visit, it is probably a good idea to find out what the ratings are all about.
In the newspaper, on the Internet or on the radio, you will see and hear all sorts of claims from different haunted houses about being the scariest, the best, the longest. It seems like every ad in the newspaper is advertising one or more haunted house as the best haunted house in Denver. On the radio, every station will advertise the #1 rated haunted house or the scariest haunted house in Denver and very seldom will they be the same haunted house. So how can they all be rated the 'best' or '#1″?
It's easy. Since there are no regulations on ratings, anyone can present their own opinion and advertise that they are the 'best', 'scariest', 'rated #1″, haunted house in Denver. That is what it really boils down to…an 'opinions' game. Think about it, who, in their right mind, would spend money advertising that their haunted house is the 'lamest' or 'rated #6′?
Everyone has an opinion about what makes a great Haunted House. Just ask your friends. Some of them will tell you that they like lots of special effects, while another will tell you they like a haunted house with a story line, still others will say that they are only scared if the haunted house has a chain saw at the end. Opinions! Everyone has them and for the most part they are happy to share them with you.
So how does this help you find out which haunted house is going to be the best fit for your scare needs? There are two directories on the Internet that give you complete listing details of all the Haunted Houses in Denver. One of them is HauntedRatings.com and the other is Scared.com.
HauntedRatings.com gives you detailed information for all of the Denver Haunted Houses, including dates and times they are open, admission prices, a synopsis of what the haunted house is all about and directions on how to get there. Several Haunted Houses offer discounted tickets and this is the best place to find out that information as well. Scared.com also lists all of the haunted houses in the Denver Metro Area. Now all you have to do is figure out which haunted house experience would suit your needs best. Armed with this knowledge you can now feel confident that the Haunted Houses you have chosen to visit will offer you the best scare for your buck.
So, get passed all the hype and go to the Denver Haunted House that sounds the most interesting to you. Of course, that's just my opinion.
Denver Haunted Houses l Halloweens History
As October gets closer and the Halloween season begins, the anticipation for adults and children alike begins to grow. What parties to attend? What costume to chose? What character should be carved into the pumpkin? How did our obsession with Halloween begin and what are the origins of this Holiday in the first place? At History.com they had this to offer.
Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in).
The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winter.
To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other's fortunes. When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.
By A.D. 43, Romans had conquered the majority of Celtic territory. In the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the Celtic lands, two festivals of Roman origin were combined with the traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain.
The first was Feralia, a day in late October when the Romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple and the incorporation of this celebration into Samhain probably explains the tradition of "bobbing" for apples that is practiced today on Halloween.
By the 800s, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands. In the seventh century, Pope Boniface IV designated November 1 All Saints' Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs. It is widely believed today that the pope was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday. The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints' Day) and the night before it, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. Even later, in A.D. 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls' Day, a day to honor the dead. It was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, the eve of All Saints', All Saints', and All Souls', were called Hallowmas.
Now that you are armed with the reason for the season you can impress your friends while you take turns bobbing for apples. If you are looking for more to do this Halloween Season, visit one of the Denver Haunted Houses in your area.
DENVER HAUNTED HOUSES l Real Denver Haunted Houses
Real Haunted Houses – every city has them according to the website: RealHaunts.com. Denver is no exception to the rule. Here are just a few of the more notable places that are said to be the home of some very interesting ghosts.
THE MOLLY BROWN House in Denver. The unusual activity in this house has been reported by several employees. Hauntings include dark shadows moving about rooms when there is no light to produce them, and piano keys moving on their own, but making no sound. In this building, many people report the pungent smell of fresh cigar smoke; Mr. Brown was known to be an avid smoker of cigars.
The home has been restored back to the way Molly Brown had it when she lived in Denver. The atmosphere in the home is rich with the past. The thought that she or her husband might still be taking care of the home make you believe that they are only there to welcome you as guests rather than trying to scare you away.
STATE CAPITOL BUILDING. The Colorado State Capitol Building is connected to several others by a series of tunnels. Originally, these tunnels were used to move coal from place to place for heating purposes. One female apparition who wears long turn of the century style dresses is known to haunt the area. She has been seen in all of the buildings and the tunnels themselves. Very inquisitive, the woman is said to have been seen reading over the shoulders of employees.
Politics are scary enough, 'nuff said.
BROWN PALACE Hotel in Denver. Also connected to the series of cold tunnels, this building is plagued by the incessant sound of someone coughing. It is also frequented by the same ghost that haunts the capital.
Maybe she is hoping the news is better at the Hotel. The food certainly is.
BUCKHORN EXCHANGE Restaurant. Presently a restaurant, when the fur trade began, This building was one of the first trading posts in the area. It is said that the building is haunted by many of the traders. There have been reports of tables moving suddenly. Also, many have reported hearing voices and footsteps when no one is talking or there.
The problem with a Real Haunted House is that the ghost has to be in the mood to scare you. You could be waiting a long time before you actually see something. To get immediate scares try visiting one of the many Denver Haunted Houses in the area. Some of the best Haunts known for their scares include: 13th Door Haunted House, Slaughterhouse Gulch Haunt, Haunted Mansion, 25th Hour, City of the Dead and The Butcher.
With the Halloween Season only a few weeks away, here is your chance to see some real and not so real ghosts.

Today's show is the fourth of our shows on the DiSC ® model, a highly effective model for improving our ability to communicate with different behavioral styles at work. Over the last three months, Mark covered both the "D" (Dominance), the "I" (Influence), and the "S" (Steadiness) in DiSC ®. In this show he'll walk us through the "C" (Conscientious) profile in detail.

The DISC prodcasts have largely
The DISC prodcasts have largely focused on interaction between the team leader and his team or to those they report to. This has been a fantastic help. I have the cheat sheet pinned on my board. And with each of the four podcasts, I've gone back to listen to the previous ones. I now have the complete set !
When you do the round-up you talked about, focusing on the weaknesses/strengths and how they demonstrate themselves, would you also be willing to talk about how the team leader can assist interaction between the team members? Using the DISC model concepts for my communication is good, but I have sometimes found myself 'refereeeing' between members whose different styles can cause issues. Diversity strengthens team effectiveness. I would value practical steps on how to coach individuals around intra-team relations.
nachapman- Thanks for the kind
Thanks for the kind words. We're thrilled that you're USING our ideas: that's why we're doing this.
Yes, we'll do what you suggest, in a good bit of detail. You're right about diversity. It's essential...but at the expense of friciton, often.
That said, it's likely that we're going to provide those casts at some reasonable price. We'll bundle them with some proprietary guidance and the providing of the DiSC profile for team members. We can only go so far in paying for stuff we provide for free.
We're working on it now... glad it's on your mind as well!
Finally...the "C". I thought maybe you
Finally...the "C". I thought maybe you had forgotten me.
You state that the "C" and the "I" are opposites. That doesn't necessarily mean that one cannot be high "C" and high "I" at the same time, right?
P.S. Why is the "I" in DiSC lowercased?
No, it's possible that one could be
No, it's possible that one could be both high C and I, though it's not common. The natural tendencies of C's and I's are opposites. C's are more reserved and task focused, while High I's are assertive and people focused.
Believe it or not, the I is lowercase because of a typographical error early on.... just like Lands' End.
Mark, I attended your workshop at the
Mark, I attended your workshop at the Arthritis Foundation in Tucson. Great stuff! You had my attention the whole time, even after I'd spent three days in back-to-back sessions, brain-numb from info-overload. So thank you!!
The DiSC model is very helpful. Simpler and much more comprehendible than the Myers-Briggs. The handshake info is invaluable, too. It might take a martini or something for me to go for the ask down on one knees, but I promise I'll try it someday soon!
I hope Kate, Travis and Drake are well! ;) - Jessi
Jessi- So glad you enjoyed my
So glad you enjoyed my presentation. I had a great time getting to know all of you, and have been asked to hold dates for some repeat performances.
We GREATLY prefer DiSC to MB here... for the very reason you state. It has high "utility," I like to say.
Nice work on remembering the important stuff too.
It's a privilege to serve you.
Mark, If you get a spare moment,
If you get a spare moment, would you be so kind as to email me? I have a question regarding a sensitive matter I'd rather not post. email@example.com
Mark/Mike Great podcasts - thanks
Great podcasts - thanks for taking the time to produce and make them available. I've been using DISC for a number of years now and greatly appreciate the "refresher" that you provided. In fact, I prefer your approach to quickly recognizing the styles than that which I was taught.
I'm interested in your feelings wrt how the DISC model is best used in a group setting. It makes perfect sense when meeting with one person (or multiple people of the same type). However, I've always been challenged at how best to apply it when dealing with a group setting. nachapman's comments (above) are one example - refereeeing - but mine are more focused on group meetings - for example, group discussions or group-based decisions. Pre-work isn't always sufficient to prep the team.
Again, I enjoy your casts and look forward to the weekly Manager-Tools "fix."
I teach the beginning management course
I teach the beginning management course –the one for non-business majors—at East Carolina University. My sections are online and I would like to inquire about using some of your podcasts. For my students it would be better for me to upload selected podcasts to our servers. Given the educational use and with proper references this might be "legal†anyway. However I would like your permission and advice.
To simulate the discussion that would go on in a face to face class I have my students either watch video or listen to audio files and react to them.
Your cast on time management would be especially useful.
I hope to hear from you.
Rick- You've brought up a great
You've brought up a great point about advanced use of the DISC model. Without giving an hour long answer by mail, I can say that there is no "group" disc... rather just individuals. We will share, in future casts of some sort, more details on how to do this. It takes advance knowledge of the individuals to use DISC well in a group setting.
Stay tuned! Glad you're a member.
Mark, I am interested in hearing your
I am interested in hearing your thoughts and your experience using the DiSC model in an international context. Is your experience mainly focused on westerners, or in your opinion is it just as good with Asian (for example)?
I am asking this because I live and work in China. I am a CEO of a small company of about 90 people. Although I have a few high Chinese D's on my team, I quickly came to the conclusion that most Chinese folks generally fall into the C or S's. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Ron
Ron- Good question, and one we'll
Good question, and one we'll recur to in our international casts.
I absolutely find Disc to be applicable internationally. I think that some of the behaviors are either muted or enhanced because of cultural norms, so that it may appear that more Chinese seem more reserved. Nevertheless, if you consider those things, it's still a great tool.
I think one of the problems is that we are all, without Disc, so likely to treat everyone the same (golden rule vs. platinum rule) that even going halfway there and being a little wrong is STILL a quantum leap forward.
Thanks for asking... and look for casts on this in the future.

You guys should make an online quiz
You guys should make an online quiz "What style are you?" that asks multiple choice questions and gives you a result of what style the user is in terms of DiSC -- maybe a percentage of each of the four different styles.

Ahhh, my friend, we have something MUCH better that in our plans ... shortly we'll be offering the actual DiSC instrument so you can take the actual survey online. Stay tuned! No guessing required. ;-)

Hi Mark,
Nice one ; can you tell me how to change from high C to high D ? because the way to be in this world is being eithe high D or high I.
Silly Boy- I disagree. There is a
Silly Boy-
I disagree. There is a greater percentage of D's and I's among senior management than the general populace because senior management jobs require risk taking and speed and tolerance of failure.
But the best CEO I know is a High S.
You don't have to change.... you have to recognize your weaknesses and build coping mechanisms, and endeavor to do ALL of your job, as opposed to the parts you like to do.
Thanks Mark You did not mention
Thanks Mark
You did not mention anything about high "C" :) I work for a technical contact center here in India; the main issue faced by the managers is that they all have risen from technical background and remeber your welder story and thats true; but high "C" is the way in here. pl advice
Silly Boy- I'm sorry, but I don't
Silly Boy-
I'm sorry, but I don't understand your post. Could you say it again, differently, for me?
Thank you for these wonderful
Thank you for these wonderful podcasts.
As I was driving to work (I've been catching up on all of them in my driving time, an hour per day or so) listening to the punchline about the female high-C and how she reacted to the cocktail parties, I almost choked on my coffee. Strong reaction to a situation that I've experienced myself many times!
I'm looking forward to taking the DiSC profile survey, but I'm already seeing that high-C is my lead, with "i" possibly the minor secondary trait....
Great comment!
Great comment from above - "You don't have to change.... you have to recognize your weaknesses and build coping mechanisms, and endeavor to do ALL of your job, as opposed to the parts you like to do."
I think we all would llike to only do what we like, versus what our roles demand - saying it the way you did sums it up nicely! This should be a basis for our directs in helping them understand and learn about themselves and how we can help them do All of their jobs as well.
Keep up the great work! And let us know when you are making your way to Disney! I mean, Orlando!
DiSC = Tetramap
Hi there!
As a certified facilitator of TetraMap (www.tetramap.com) I see that there´s a direct relationship with Tetramap´s "four elements of nature": Earth (D), Air (C), Water (S) and Fire (I). Are you familiar with Tetramap? To me, it has been a great communications and team building tool. And I am a high D (Earth).
Thank you for all the great knowledge you share, I sure am your biggest fan and best promoter in Monterrey, México.
I was just curious if birth
I was just curious if birth order also plays into a DISC profile? I studied sociology and completely fit the mold for a middle child and as I listened to these, a lot of the same characteristics fall into the high I profile (which I am as well).
Re: DISC - Tetramap
I checked the website for tetra map and I really liked it. We are using DISC at the workplace to improve communication and to strengthen teams creating some balance of the disc profiles within the teams and allowing people to act more freely according to their style without the fear of being wrongly judge by a majority which may belong to a different style.
The first difficulty we faced was related with the labels in DISC. We got responses like: "Not all High I people can influence people",...
Defining the styles through the elements of nature, takes this sort of resistance that people create simply from the labels used in the model out of the picture. I also notice looking more carefully into DISC material from manager tools that they also seem to avoid using the labels, but rather High I, High D, and so on. I can see now how that is purposely so.

Review: 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan
This 2009 review is representative of model years 2008 to 2010.
Although some of the Grand Caravan's interior plastic is of the hard and shiny variety and doesn't look as rich as what is offered in some of the competition, the control layout is simple and the gauges are easy to read. The driving position is high off the floor, which gives a commanding view of the road ahead. The Grand Caravan has a soft and supple ride that absorbs bumps without disturbing occupants. It goes down the road with minimal fuss, but anyone expecting anything exciting will be disappointed.
Three engines are offered in the Grand Caravan. Base versions are powered by a 3.3-liter V-6 with 175 horsepower. One rung up is a 3.8-liter V-6 with 197 horsepower, and a 4.0-liter V-6 with 252 horsepower is the top engine. The 3.8-liter and 4.0-liter V-6 engines come paired with a six-speed automatic; base 3.3-liter engines get an old-think four-speed automatic.
Major competitors to the Grand Caravan include the Honda Odyssey, Hyundai Entourage, Kia Sedona, Nissan Quest, Toyota Sienna, and Volkswagen Routan.
Ultimately, although the Grand Caravan is roomy and practical — what minivan isn't? — it finished third in our latest five-minivan comparo, slotting behind the second-place Toyota Sienna and winning Honda Odyssey. The Dodge did acquit itself well in overall features and third-row comfort, however.
What's New for 2009
Highlights and Recommendations
You should think long and hard about the practicality of the Swivel 'n Go seats. They might seem like a great idea, but space around the removable table is cramped, and when equipped with Swivel 'n Go, the second-row seats don't fold into the floor. On the flip side, it would be wise to consider the Stow 'n Go arrangement if you think you'll need to haul a lot of stuff, as it allows for the second- and third-row seats to fold into the floor.

COMFORTABLE CAR WITH GREAT GAS MILEAGE & LOTS OF POWER by ETattheLAKE on 03/23/2013. Trim: 2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid LE, Owned 1 year.
Pros: LE * Great mileage. Quiet smooth ride. Lots of power to pass. Transition from gas to electric is flawless. Good brakes but drivers need to learn how to apply them. 2 year free service is a big benefit. Fantastic displays show use of electric vs gas and rewards for good mileage. Interior is great especially the dashboard * all except the seats.
Cons: LE front seats are not comfortable. Should have a lumbar support. XLE may be better but you get too many bells and whistles ++ $$$. Tinted glass should be darker. LE blue tooth is not user friendly.
Overall review: Would do it again but maybe XLE just for the seating but all the extras were not worth the $$ for us. Always get 40 to 42 mpg as calculated by me and not the automatic system.

City expresses concern about shape of things to come
Blaine community economic and development director Terry Galvin has been watching developers snap up property along the Blaine downtown waterfront, and is asking city council to get a clear picture of how they want Blaine's core to look, before they no longer have a say.
we don't make a conscious decision to encourage
a vision, it's going to happen on a project by project
basis," Galvin said. "They wind up looking
like Everytown USA, one of those infamous strips."
In a work session prior to their October 25 regular meeting council members agreed to a three day intensive planning session tentatively scheduled for the third week in November. Developers, property owners, merchants and residents of the central business district would meet with planning commission and city council members and staff to draft a downtown vision that staff and consultants will then develop into a set of development regulations. "We really don't have any provisions to allow for the boardwalk, once built, being extended," Galvin said. "We have some design standards and a page and a half of zoning regulations. The goal here is to build a clear picture of how we want our central business district to grow. I see an urban village, dynamic and pedestrian." Galvin said the city currently had no height restrictions or open space requirements, no view protection rules, and parking regulations had been rescinded
Galvin's report of the pace of property acquisition in Blaine's downtown sparked a sense of urgency in city council members. "We need to have some action and now," said newly appointed mayor John Liebert. "You have a supportive council here." Council member Bonnie Onyon asked if there was concern some development permits could come in before the guidelines are in place. "Yes," Galvin said. "There's a lot on the plate I can't anticipate."
In the last year the central business district in Blaine has become a hot property for developers, mainly from the Bellingham area, Galvin said. "There is very clearly a concentrated effort to buy land on Peace Portal Drive," he said, adding there was also interest in the area close to the harbor between Mitchell and Boblett streets. "We are getting a lot of acquisition and that means development is on its way. Over the next one to three years we expect to see a fairly significant development trend."
What developers want is to build view condominiums, Galvin said, and city guidelines will determine how and if those condominium projects work to develop Blaine's downtown. "Since the city requires commercial on the first floor in the central business district, commercial components are an integral part of the discussion," he said. The city's job now, he said is to develop a plan and guidelines that insure these combination commercial/retail projects work together to bring more people into downtown Blaine. "Downtown is the heart of a city," Galvin said. "It's what people judge it by."
Besides a regulatory stick, city staff are looking into tax-break carrots to encourage more developers to build or restore multiple family dwelling units downtown. City manager Gary Tomsic said state law allowed cities to give developers a 10-year break on property taxes for improvements that create or restore dwelling units in specific areas. Bellingham is using this provision to create a program to draw housing into the downtown area, he said. Tomsic said several developers considering mixed-use projects had approached the city about considering such an incentive. "I appreciate the use of this methodology has had a beneficial impact," he said. "For our retail base it actually creates a market. The customer base is right there."
City attorney John Sitkin said once council enacted an enabling ordinance they would need to identify a target area where the program would apply and determine which component of the project the tax exemption would apply to. He added they could rescind a property's exemption if the owner changed the use. "This is viewed as quite a high incentive," he said. "It's a good tool the city can use in the market to encourage inbound investment."
said staff would further research the incentive program
and come back to council.
In development news outside downtown, council will consider a rezone of the manufacturing area along the freeway south of exit 274 at their November 8 meeting. "We've had a number of inquiries about establishing mid-priced lodging in Blaine, which is good," Galvin said. Developers are looking at sites close to the freeway and many of those in the south part of Blaine are zoned for manufacturing, which does not allow lodging or restaurants.
In the upcoming comprehensive plan update Galvin said those areas would likely be rezoned to a more appropriate highway commercial designation, but in the meantime zoning was putting the brakes on development.

Strapless Lace Bodice with Organza A-Line Skirt Style 9OP1226 4 4
Amazing Dress! I went into my appointment looking for a champagne, sweet heart neckline, lace, a line and dress and I found ALL of that plus a beautiful long sash. The floral lace pattern looks just divine and the color is a beautiful gold with two layers of white chiffon to soften the gold. This dress is so very flattering and I knew it was the one the moment I tried it on, walked out and saw my family's faces! Plus.... I had no clue it was only $99. DOUBLE WIN! I cannot wait until my fianc�� sees me in it. =) June 7, 2014
Loved It. I was very apprehensive about purchasing such a sentimental thing like a wedding dress over the internet. I wanted to have that moment with my mom and best friend. However, I could not justify the price difference and I tend to know what dresses will look good on me and what won't. I am so happy I took the chance, the dress is beautiful and I still had that "moment" of showing my mom the dress at home. The dress is very well made, nice structure and a beautiful unique color like champagne is hard to find. So happy I took the leap. February 25, 2014
I Rang The Bell & Got The Gown After a day of looking at wedding gowns in downtown Chicago with my family and bridesmaids, it really was just a spoof that we ended up at David's Bridal. As the girls were trying on bridesmaid dresses, my mom and I took a quick look around the racks just to see if anything caught our attention. This dress immediately leaped out at me! I loved the color, the simple lace and it fit me like a glove! The only issue was I did not want strapless. With the money I saved on the dress, I am adding straps in the same champagne color with lace overlay. It is going to look amazing! January 14, 2014
My Dream Dress. I went to the DB near where I live with my mother, grandmother, and sister to look at dresses, try some on, and get an idea of what looks best for my body type, as I had never considered what kind of wedding dress I wanted. After trying about 3 dresses on, my consultant overheard us talking about dresses in Champagne and she ran and brought this dress out for me to try on, as it had just arrived in store a couple of days prior and it just happened to be in my size (and in my budget). This dress was the one. We all "ooh-ed" and "aaah-ed" and when we added a veil, we knew that this was the dress. The biggest perks about it are that it is lightweight and the taupe accents that make the dress stunning in person. I am so looking forward to my big day, especially now that I have the dress of my dreams :0] May 1, 2013

Obama 2.0: The liberal agenda to come
Do not expect a return of the mythical moderate Obama, the one who speaks of bipartisanship with an earnest tone and dances cautiously around his liberal partners, trying not to brush too close to them. Tonight he is most likely to emerge arm in arm with them. He has more "flexibility" now.
Tonight the President makes clear his priorities, and they will share one common theme: More money and more power for Washington so that it may reshape America according to the image Barack Obama has envisioned.
There is to be no serious effort to eliminate the federal debt that already is harming our economy and will only do greater damage as it rapidly expands under a President who has no interest in controlling it. There is to be no serious entitlement reform, no serious reduction in federal spending or power.
On domestic issues, expect a highly partisan, exceedingly liberal call to expand the power, scope and size of the leviathan. On foreign policy, expect retreat.
Tonight, Obama begins in earnest his plan to become the liberal Reagan, to undo the Reagan legacy and restore the FDR-LBJ welfare state, only greater and with more power and authority to control the lives of citizens. The Republican response ought to be as strong and aggressive as the President's. Hit back, and hit back hard. This is a big moment. Live up to it.

5 Very Real, Very Sad Lunches from
Sad Desk Lunch
Quick Lunches From the Experts
The genius of the Tumblr Sad Desk Lunch is immediately obvious to anyone who has ever had a job that involved a lot of lunches eaten in front of the computer at work, mindlessly scrolling through Pinterest or food blogs while trying to ignore ringing phones and loud co-workers. It's hard to have a happy lunch at your desk.
This week we are talking to experts about their best lunches to pack for work or school. But today is about what not to do, as Kira Fisher, the writer behind Sad Desk Lunch, shares a gallery of her favorite sad lunches (and why she loves them) and her advice for avoiding depressing desk meals.
What makes these lunches so sad?
I'm of the belief that it's not the lunch itself that makes it sad, it's the fact that you're eating it at your desk. However, there are definitely lunches that look worse off than others. The best sad lunches are the ones that vibrate misery — usually gray and brown tones. Think lentil soups, browning salads.
What is your best tip for packing a sad lunch?
A surefire way to pack a sad lunch is pre-mixing the dressing in the salad so it gets soggy. Pro tip: put dressing in small jam jars instead! Or, exclusively make kale salads because pre-dressing actually breaks the leaves down for you.
Another good opportunity for sadness is bringing leftovers that aren't exactly lunch-sized so you of course get hungry three hours later and gorge at the vending machine.
Thanks, Kira!

I eat lunch at my desk every day. It's not sad; it makes me happy. I'm fortunate enough to have an office, so I shut the door, read my Nook, and eat my sandwich and fruit. Even though I'm still at my desk, reading a book still gives me a mental escape.
I have had that lunch before! Though not at my desk . . .
It's maybe a little refreshing, this Tumblr. Not everybody is out there artfully arranging their black lentils and asparagus into panda shapes that fit neatly in their bento boxes. :-) (not that there's anything wrong with that.)
These are hilarious. I work as a nature guide. Lovely to eat while driving around our park. But due to lack of time, my lunch is usually a can of tuna scooped out of a coffee mug. Now that's sad. Although whiskey at a desk takes first place.
You want to know what's sad? Whatever image type they use on that site won't display on my computer, so I can't eat my sad desk lunch while commiserating with other sad desk lunch eaters.
My saddest desk lunches are canned soup, because I hate canned soup.
Bourbon and fries is not a sad lunch, but you'd have to be pretty sad to have chosen that particular lunch.
@jess13 Does this link work?
Sadly no, but thank you very much for trying to help! They system here is sort of odd, and I think I have a really old version of Java or something.
oh, this is funny! I'm trying to picture a bottle of bourbon at my office. . . .
but you can easily pack a green salad and dressing in the same container in a mad lunch-packing dash - I do it all the time:
I want to submit a picture of my ex-colleague's lunch, who used to stick to a 'highly nutritious' plain bagel and diet drink-diet for days on end. Yuck!
The second one didn't look sad to me until I read it was seitan, which I loathe. One common lunch I eat probably looks sad to the observer- a drained can of tuna, slice of whole wheat bread, an apple, and a few almonds. It's not pretty, but on mornings when I don't have time to put anything proper together, it does the job.
Catherinesprunt, your ex-colleague must have gone to high school with me. That was lunch for many girls I knew, although I remember one spread her bagle with a packet of mustard.
What makes any lunch sad for me is eating it with a plastic fork. I hate plastic forks.
Whenever I eat lunch at my desk, it's with real and proper cutlery. Same for coffee from the machine : I skip the white plastic cup - which makes coffee taste terrible - and use my own earthenware little purple mug.
Well, I must admit my aubergine and carrot soup of the day was quite brownish. Would have been sad BUT I had planned to take fresh cilantro in a little container. This, plus leftover brocoli risotto > happy lunch.
Haha, I also have a love/hate with canned lunch. Love that it is so easy and lasts for over a year, hate that it's canned soup. I have a stash in my drawer next to my desk, so some days lunch is as simple as open a drawer and pop a lid! The saddest lunch ever will be the day that I eat the can of clam chowder that I got in a Christmas basket 2 years ago.
I want to know where all these people who get to have a beer with their sad desk lunch work.
What is that microwaved gruel in the third picture? Looks like something the cat threw up.
I'm not sure whether this is a sad lunch or a happy lunch, but I just discovered (in the process of making a sandwich) that the recent rain means our bread has gone mouldy. All of it.
...There's a vegan cupcake sale at uni today. Look, I'm just saying that I know there'll be something I can eat. Cupcakes for lunch!
Bourbon and french fries? What's wrong with that?
Now I want bourbon and french fries for dinner.
No eating at my desk at work since it's in a museum collections area. I do bring sad lunches sometimes though, which is mostly sad because of really pitiful portions - like one tiny cup of yogurt or a small container of plain pasta with green can parmesean.
I LOVE the first one! Bourbon and fries would have been a perfect lunch when I was working at a sad job, would have made me happy ;)
I just went down to Chinatown and had twin lobsters in ginger scallion sauce, sauteed noodle with roasted pork, shrimps and pickled vege and side order of roasted duck. And then bought a bubble tea on the way back to work. So full and so delicious....I bet ya I had the best lunch today in the whole US today. LOL
don't go to the site to view more.. or you will realize that you have lost track of time and you missed your own lunch.. lol .. although.. some of the lunches were laughable, some are very nice, and of course some just are not lunch..
Ha ha ha.....you made my day.... :)
I remember grade school. My mom would pack me lunches of rice and a cold, sad, wrinkly hotdog. :'( Equally sad is when we're out of hotdogs, she'd give me instead a cold, lardy, pink slice of Spam. :''(
I don't care how sad lentil soup looks, I love it! The taste usually makes up for the bland appearance. It's also one of the few lunches that actually seems to get me through the afternoon.
The smell and the sounds people make when eating range from mildly distracting to outright disgusting in open plan offices where everybody sees and hears everybody else. Plus, it always makes me think if it is worth it to stay at a workplace where people aren't given breaks to feed themselves - the next step may be cutting off bathroom breaks and encouraging employees to pee in a cup at their desks.

(WNFL) - The Green Bay Packers overcame a 26-to-3 halftime deficit yesterday, to beat the Cowboys at Dallas 37-to-36. Eddie Lacy scored the game-winning touchdown with 1:31 left from one yard out, behind blocking from Packers' giant defensive linemen B-J Raji and Mike Daniels. It matched the biggest comeback in Packers' history, as the 1982 Pack clawed back from 23-down to beat the former Los Angeles Rams. Also, it was Green Bay's first road victory against the Cowboys in seven tries, dating back to 1989. And the Packers remain in the playoff hunt, a half-game behind first-place Chicago in the N-F-C North with two to play. Lacy rushed for 141 yards, as he went over a-thousand for his rookie year -- and he had four catches for 30 yards. Matt Flynn threw four second-half touchdown passes. He had one yard short of 300 in his second come-from-behind win in as many weeks in place of the injured Aaron Rodgers.Burlington native Tony Romo threw for 358 yards and two touchdowns for Dallas. His final two drives ended in interceptions to Sam Shields and Tramon Williams -- the latter of which sealed Green Bay's victory after a long replay review. DeMarco Murray ran for 134 yards and a score, but Romo didn't use him down the stretch when the Cowboys could have run off valuable time on the ground to keep Green Bay's charging offense off the field. Dallas coach Jason Garrett admitted that the interception to Shields was supposed to be a running play -- and Romo changed it at the line of scrimmage, thus resulting in Lacy's winning score. Dez Bryant caught 11 passes for 153 yards, as Dallas had the edge in total yards 466-to-433.Flynn threw his scoring passes to Jordy Nelson, Andrew Quarless, James Starks, and James Jones. Jarrett Boykin was the Packers' leading receiver with six catches for 83 yards. Tight end Brandon Bostick left the game with a foot injury, and defensive end Johnny Jolly left with a shoulder injury. The Packers improved to 7-6-and-1, and will host Pittsburgh next Sunday.

Sleepless in the South east
Three eighteen in the morning - and that's after lying here for an hour hoping that if I didn't look at the clock, more sleep would occur. I think I passed out shortly after nine. Jet lag, you're so much fun.
It's been quiet in these virtual parts because this week I'm staying with family on our property in the South East (rural South Australia) which not only means I have better things to do than hang about online (like play with dogs, look for interesting sticks, and walk about taking deep breaths and declaiming on the joys of country living) but also that I have to forsake my usual Internet habits. We're on satellite out here, the only alternative to dial up, and the combined download and upload limit is half a gig.
Draconian. You ought to see what is costs, too. Dear Mr Hackett, lord of Internode, I wonder if you would mind very much making the government run some fibre out here to replace the kilometres of copper that have not been replaced since approximately the Dark Age?
I'm moving into a new place in Adelaide on Sunday, pre-equipped with a rock-solid ADSL connection, but I probably won't get back on the webcomics-blog-games trawl for a few days, because I have to catch up a backlog of incentives for my make.believe entry. I am the world's slowest and most primitive video editor.

You're in your car with miles to go before you rest ... and before you find a suitable place to eat. What's a growling stomach to do? You could do what most people do and drive through one of the ubiquitous fast-food outlets. Contrary to fit-minded thinking, there actually are options at those bastions of fried foods—mainly grilled chicken, soy burgers and salads—and the good thing is that you'll know exactly what you're getting. McDonald's, Burger King and many other fast-food and pizza places make detailed nutrition data available, either on site or online. If you haven't printed out the info beforehand, ask the restaurant's employees for it—it might be posted in the store or available in a brochure.
The problem is that those grilled chicken sandwiches can get old fast. Which means the family restaurant along the highway might seem like your next best option; at least there you can find the old standby: a tuna sandwich. But wait! The nutrition activist group Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) revealed that a typical deli tuna sandwich can have 720 calories, which is 260 more than the average roast-beef sandwich.
Noting that consumers can't make informed decisions about what to eat when nutritional details aren't readily available, CSPI is campaigning to get the information printed either on the menu or on a menu board in every restaurant. Yet that goal might be a long way from being met, and even if it is, the info might only include calories and saturated fat—hardly the complete data a bodybuilder needs to consider before ordering.

Cobra Information Site FAQ
Q: Why cobras...why not rabbits or cats or something else?
A: Why not cobras? I lived with (note I don't say "owned" - only a fool thinks he owns one of God's creatures) two cobras, and it is the only nickname ever given to me. Cobras are one of the most cryptic creatures. It was my flight name in the Air Force. As a practicing non-conformist, I *had* to do a site that was different. As of this writing this is the only web site with this information. I like that.
Q: Some of your pages take a long time to load, do you think we all have T1's?
A: I have tried to trim down every aspect of the site as much as possible by converting my images to jpg's and making them smaller, along with other HTML trickery. This is as fast as it's going to get, gang. The WWW is, after all, a full-on sensory experience, and I feel that sound and graphics are what differentiate the web from many other mediums. Kick back, be patient...I like to think that my pages are worth the wait.
Q: What kind of computer do you have, Cobra Master?
A: A really, really big one. Sorry I had to get so technical.
A: The whole answer could fill your browser cache, so I'll keep it short.
1. I love to learn. In May of 1996 when I started this, I couldn't even spell HTML. Looka me now!
2. I really believe that if you do good things for the world, the world will do good things for you. [See my Meaning of Life page for more on this subject.] I get e-mail often from young students and parents using my site for reports. I get e-mail from keepers and researchers who have found some information they were looking for. Can you spell "warm fuzzy"?
3. I hope to benefit the medical community by providing a central repository for venomous snakebite emergency treatment information. The "Cobras Who's Who" and Snakebite Treatment areas are specifically targeted to this goal.
4. Okay...it's not all peaches and cream. I do have a page that tells all you nice folks what I do for a living. If just one person sees that, and needs my services, my time has been well spent...and it sure was a lot more fun than putting an ad in the paper! And now back to our regularly scheduled programming....sorry, a guy's gotta eat. ;)
Q: Why do you have an FAQ on a personal website?
A: If people didn't ask silly questions like this, I wouldn't need
an FAQ in the first place. ;)

Nazaré North Canyon © Hélio Valentim
Portuguese spot delivers one of the biggest swells in memory
29 October: Portugal's Nazaré North Canyon came to life on October 28th with a giant swell and an international roster of tow teams. Carlos Burle, Sylvio Mancusi, Rodrigo Koxa, Maya Gabeira, Felipe "Gordo" Cesarano, Hugo Vau, Eric Rebiere, Pedro Scooby, Andrew Cotton and Garrett McNamara all took turns whipping into some of the largest waves seen to date at the famed spot.
World record holder Garret McNamara opted to drive the ski instead of drop in, citing that he just didn't feel safe enough. Standouts Carlos Burle, Maya Gabeira & Andrew Cotton caught monsters that day while Maya Gabeira went on to barely survived a horrific wipeout.

- Excellent food, shame about serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/21/2014The great food was somewhat spoiled by poor service. The sommelier disappeared after selling the wine and we ended up serving our own wine. The check was presented without being requested, whilst we were still eating and without us even do being asked if we wanted coffee! The staff were generally a bit up themselves and off hand.Special Features:
- Anniversary DinnerHarvestSolutionsVIPDined on 9/20/2014My wife and I along with friends of our went to this restaurant to celebrate our anniversaries. I had called earlier that day to let them know we were celebrating a special occasion. They said that would put together a dessert for us to acknowledge our anniversaries. Although the staff acknowledged our anniversary when we sat down, they never brought the dessert. Three of us ordered duck. Although the plate was hot, the duck itself was cold. We sent it back. When it was returned, it was lukewarm at best. The staff was apologetic and provided us with a complementary glass of dessert wine. I would go back but when you spend that kind of money, you expect the food to be hot.Special Features:
- Another Fantastic Dinner!PaulDined on 9/19/2014We returned to Bistro du Midi for another celebratory dinner and we were not disappointed. From the moment we entered the restaurant, we were treated like royalty. Our seats were comfortable with a nice view of Boston Common. We started with a pair of signature cocktails, which were great. Our appetizers and entrees were delicious and the wine was spectacular. One minor complaint - our first choice for wine was not in stock, although according to our server, the list had just been updated... Dessert (pre-ordered souffles) was a perfect crowning to a perfect evening. Our server, Olga was excellent - she was polite, friendly, courteous and engaging - really fun - she made our night. Can't wait to return!Special Features:
- great meal; wonderful wineOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/18/2014The food is great here, but the professional, attentive, and friendly staff really make the experience. The wine list is a standout, and Todd the head sommelier is absolutely the best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful ExperienceJMNWVIPDined on 9/15/2014Great food competent bar narrow but good wine list fabulous cuisine and attentive service, what else can one ask? Go - you will enjoy it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MaureenMaureenDined on 9/13/2014Great dining experience. Food was delicious, service was great, and the sommelier was very helpful. Overall a very nice night out. We were happy diners.Special Features:
- Delicious food, great service andgeraldroyrondoeVIPDined on 9/13/2014My wife and I enjoyed another wonderful evening at Bistro du Midi. The food, the welcoming attention by the entire staff and a table overlooking the Boston Public Garden made for a wonderful evening. The menu offers an interesting selection of Crudos, small plates and a nice variety of seafood and meat choices. We had the Tea Smoked Salmon Crudo to start followed by the Monkfish and the house made Tagliatelle with Lobster and Sea Urchin sauce. Every dish was delicious. One of our favorite side dishes at Bistro du Midi is the Wild Mushroom saute. It is a mixture of of mushrooms but on this particular evening it was heavy handed with the salt which detracted from the dish.Special Features:
- marjoVIPDined on 9/13/2014A truly nice restaurant. The menu choices are varied and all of them that we have had have been outstanding. The service is also excellent and the wine and cocktail list can not be better. Place has a great atmosphere with just the right amount of noise. It is a restaurant you can have a wonderful, un rushed meal. We will be back again as usual.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner with DaughterHopkintonFoodyDined on 9/13/2014A past visit customer and this past weekend Bitro du Midi continues to be a gem. Warm greeting when you arrive, staff attentive yet "in the wings" so as not to be intrusive, food spectacular and wine wonderful. Of most importance, got to have dinner with our daughter. Can you tell we really enjoyed the visit.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/11/2014Not one to be negative (don't ask my husband), I will say that our server seemed as if on autopilot, the room was quite loud, and two members of our party asked for half portions of their main course and were served about two tablespoons of food. I'm not rushing back anytime soon!Special Features:
- Here is your wine, enjoy! Uh, wait!BradusDined on 9/6/2014I have been to this restaurant more than 10 times. Food and service is always great. This occasion was no different. The disappointing experience was with the wine. We ordered a $75 bottle of wine, which our server delivered to our table just as we were finishing our cocktails. I didn't pay much attention as the wine was presented beyond the customary taste to confirm it was good, etc. 5 minutes later, the somelier pops by to say they gave us the wrong wine by mistake; it's a $150 bottle and they need to take it away. In the meantime, "here is your wine" and they swap bottles. My view is that they should have just said "Our mistake, enjoy!" and left it at that. This decision was a bad one. The wine didn't taste good afterwards.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/5/2014Excellent on this visit, but it was not crowded. Can be vey noisy when it is full.Special Features:
- GREAT FOOD, SERVICE AND AMBIANCEPBDGDined on 9/1/2014Wonderful Experience, Great Service, Food was amazing, look forward to visiting again the next time we are in Boston.Special Features:
- BEWARE *EXTREMELY* Over-Hyped FoodIsabelleArcherDined on 8/31/2014Boyfriend and I were visiting in town and I wanted to find a romantic dinner for two - something nice but not extravagantly expensive. Everything fit the bill: location, ambience, service... Except the food (especially for the price). This restaurant is categorized as French, but the menu is very seafood-oriented. There were only a handful of dishes prepared without it. I ordered the roast chicken, which ended up costing $50 (the waiter failed to clarify when I asked if I could order a single portion). This, in and of itself, is fine except that the chicken was devoid of flavor (sadly, I've tasted better at Costco or the local supermarket) and my side of veggies was less than 1/6 cup. We spent $200 on a very lackluster, disappointing meal.Special Features:
- Not the best experience this timeMariyaDined on 8/31/2014I've been going to Bistro du Midi for 4 years. Every holiday and special occasion is spent here. Usually I have the pleasant experience I have become so used to having at this romantic and fabulous restaurant. This time around, I was a little disappointed. The waitress took forever (the place wasn't packed), I wasn't able to order my favorite chicken dish because it was exclusive to first floor diners (first time this has happened, usually they are so accommodating) and the dish I did order, wasn't up to Bistro du Midis standards. Not sure what's going on here, but I may think twice before visiting my favorite restaurant in Boston again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of our very favoritesMimiVIPDined on 8/30/2014Bistro du Midi is one of our very favorite restaurants in Boston. We love eating outside or, on cooler evenings and lunches, we like a window table upstairs. The the atmosphere is romantic ,food is superb and the service is excellent. The staff is welcoming.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- food4fuelDined on 8/29/2014Bistro du Midi is one of my favorite restaurants for the quality of the food-excellent escargot, fantastic wine list and sommelier. Better to go when it is not Dine Out Boston week. Lovely dining room. We had the good fortune of sitting at the same table, overlooking the Public Garden.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/29/2014We were well taken care of once upstairs in the restaurant. The woman at the reception encouraged us to have a drink at the bar downstairs which we did but then sent other couples upstairs during the time we were waiting and they got a better table..window on the public garden. We were fine but seated next to a family with a baby on the inner side of the room. We love kids but not when out for a romantic celebration.Special Features:
- Always OutstandingbitsandpiecesVIPDined on 8/29/2014We have been fans of Bistro du Midi for a few years, sometimes grabbing lunch at the first floor setting, other times having an elegant dinner upstairs. The menu is lovely, the food outstanding (the monk fish with sauce au poive is our favorite and the souffles are melt-in-your-mouth delicious) and the servers are knowledgeable, professional and very good. On Friday we sampled a few different sides, the brussel sprouts, polenta and haricots vert. All the vegetables were fresh and beautifully prepared. The polenta was a great pairing with the monkfish. The blueberry tart (it had a nice rich blueberry flavor, not too sweet) which is served with a caramel sorbet is outstanding, too. Think I have run out of superlative adjectives....Special Features:
- Good but very noisynickVIPDined on 8/28/2014the Maitre D was excellent, but overall everything was good but not wow. An incredibly noisy place(lowish ceiling, hard surfaces etc) makes it very difficult to hear anything that's said, whether at your table or the wait staff. In addition, the waiter spoke very quickly and not too clearly so it was difficult to understand what he said. The food was good as was the wine selection, but everything was overshadowed by the harshness of the noise. If we return, it would only be outside downstairs.
- Consistently goodPileatedVIPDined on 8/28/2014One of the best views in town. Solid service. But the food is the highlight. No bad choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Doing Dine Out Boston rightOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/28/2014A group of friends never says die...and insists on a Restaurant Week outing (now Dine Out Boston) at least annually. We've had very mixed experiences in the last few years. Bistro du Midi has restored my faith in what such an event should be! $38 for a choice of three courses gave us wonderful options for starters, entrees and desserts. The upstairs room is lovely, lively and comfortable. Our service was friendly, prompt and attentive. Starter portions were appropriately sized to provide delicate tastes of such items as hamachi (fish) tartare, escargot and pate. The gnocchi entree was heavenly. Desserts were fantastic. We really felt welcomed and well-served. This is the way to get return customers!Special Features:
- HughesVIPDined on 8/26/2014The hospitality was extra-ordinary, and the food was also the best one would expect. After our third great experience, we wil return with a group of friends.Special Features:
- Wonderful!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/22/2014We met my sister and niece who were flying into Boston to catch a connecting flight to Italy. What a wonderful place! Top notch! Food and staff were Excellent!!!!!! Only recommendation would be although the plate was very hot, monk fish was not. Thanks for a great evening!Special Features:
- Always reliablemellenVIPDined on 8/22/2014Classic bistro food with a modern twist. Excellent wine program and the sommeliers are always helpful in finding a unique selection to complement the food. Service can be a little rushed when they are really busy.Special Features:
- Helpful staffOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/19/2014This was our first visit to Bistro du Midi, and we found it a bit noisy for our plans. The staff was very accommodating and made our meal the wonderful occasion we had hoped for!Special Features:
- 1bostonDined on 8/18/2014prefer tablecloths...........menu a bit limited......wine list was also limitedSpecial Features:
- First Class DiningPtownbillyDined on 8/17/2014The restaurant faces The Public Garden and has those charming views from both floors; downstairs has the bar, open windows, and nice outdoor seating; upstairs has expansive windows, and a sumptuous and elegant feel. Every staff member was welcoming, gracious and attentive. The food is quite fit for foodies, perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. This is a place to impress, on a level with the marvelous L'Espalier.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad ServicesouthendFoodieDined on 8/17/2014Service was awful- waiter didn't seem interseted and was always distracted. There were 3 in our party- apparently the waiter didn't write down what each of us ordered for appetizer, dinner, or dessert. Each time I was given the meal my boyfriend or mother was supposed to get! Come on- isn't this supposed to be "fine dining"? I had to repeatedly pour my own water- as no one came by to check. Besides bad service- I ordered the wrong items. Bouillabaise with no flavor and all mush of fish. My lemon blueberry dessert had no flavor and was hard as a rock. My mom's souffle was more like a molten lava cake with no flavor. The duck and Samon cru were good. Def not hurrying back or even going back.
- Great place to celebrate!!!TrishVIPDined on 8/17/2014Took my oldest friend to Bistro du Midi to celebrate her dinner. Everything was spectacular!!! Love the lamb neck!!!Special Features:
- Fantastic!KFBLVIPDined on 8/16/2014Bistro us Midi is consistently outstanding on every level! We have never been disappointed by anything we have eaten, the service or the wine list. Todd, the sommelier, was very helpful picking out a wonderful wine, he really listened to what kind my husband was interested in. His suggestion, which we took and really enjoyed, was in the middle of the $ range my husband gave him. The service is impeccable and yet they don't take themselves too serious. Fabulous and wonderful dining experience.Special Features:
- GiftSatisfiedDined on 8/13/2014We celebrated 2 birthdays in the Bistro du Midi. It was 6 of us and we were seated in the back of the restaurant in the private area on the second floor! We all felt like we were the only ones in the restaurant and the staff catered to our needs only. Our waitress was very accommodating, knowledgeable and prompt. The food was wonderful! We ordered various appetizers and entrees from the menu and everything was delicious. We will definitely be back and will recommend the restaurant to all our friends. The atmosphere of the restaurant, the amazing food, wonderful service was truly a a great gift for our birthday celebration. THANK YOU!Special Features:
- Consistently GoodOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 8/11/2014Had another very good meal at Bistro du Midi. I was not a fan when it first opened but it has greatly improved and I now go frequently. Both service and food and excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall goodSuthurnvisitorDined on 8/9/2014Seated upstairs which had a great ambience. Our waiter seemed disconnected and minimally interested in making our first experience memorable. My friend ordered a stead MEDIUM and it came out WELL DONE...when i mentioned to the waiter he looked as though "geez...what a pain" and didn't even apologize until the very end of the meal. The manager came out subsequently and apologized; they also comped the stead which i thought was fair since I had almost finished (Trying to eat slow) my entree when the steak arrived. The recooked steak was amazing. The food was great with some interesting twists. Even though the waiter put a damper on our meal I would recommend if you haven't been.I would recommend this to a friend.
- 30thDined on 8/9/2014The overall experience was excellent. The food, service and extra attention to detail could not have been better. The staff was very accommodating, we celebrated our wedding anniversary here and they made sure it was an enjoyable experience. Thank you!Special Features:
- PapitoDined on 8/9/2014Waiter and accompanying service excellent. Food was excellent. The only negative factor was the lack of white tablecloths on the table. The bare wood, somewhat used tables are not consistent with the food and service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent summer dinner experienceJoeNomadDined on 8/9/2014This was my second visit to Bistro du Midi after first stop here a year ago on winter afternoon for a coffee and desert. I looked at the menu and promised myself to come back. This past saturday, after a long walk, I decided to stop for early dinner and enjoy a relaxing meal. I was able to sit outside on the small patio facing Public Garden. I had a "tea cured wild salmon" for entrée froide (appetizer) - as close as you can get to sushi but the fish was very delicate with a hint of tea (and no salty sauce to kill the taste). For the main course I had a roasted monkfish with asparagus, chanterelles and sauce au poivre. All components very well balanced and accompanied the delicate taste of fish. Service was very attentive. Great experience!Special Features:
- Simply Amazing!!Jefferson0768Dined on 8/2/2014If you haven't treated yourself to dinner at Bistro du Midi do yourself a favor and book a reservation immediately!! Its definitely one of Boston's best and the entire experience in nothing short of divine. Its the closest you can come to experiencing Parisian food in Boston! I highly recommend it to all especially foodies.Special Features:
- Another Superb Dining ExperienceAandAinActonDined on 8/2/2014My wife and I had another superb dining experience at Bistro du Midi. Food and service are always excellent. We almost tried the tasting menu (it looked really interesting) but it was my wife's birthday and she really loves Bistro's mussels (appetizer) and Chocolate Soufflé for dessert - so that's what she had.Special Features:
- Had a great timeOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/31/2014We went here for an anniversary and it did not disappoint. The wait staff and sommelier were very friendly, and all of our dishes were delicious. The chocolate souffle is worth the wait, I'm glad I ordered early as recommended. I'd pass on the tuna tartar next time though, not what I expected after other restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

EXETER ŌĆō It appears in the middle of a dark night, on a road in the far western reaches of Exeter, a shining beacon like any lighthouse showing the way home.

NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō ŌĆ£If at first you donŌĆÖt succeed, try try again.ŌĆØ is an old adage that North Kingstown resident Greg Coppa really took to heart.
After years of trying, and trying again, CoppaŌĆÖs dream of seeing a short story he wrote in 1990 turned into a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie presentation will come true this weekend as ŌĆ£November ChristmasŌĆØ, a movie based on his work, is scheduled to air this Sunday at 9 p.m. on CBS.
For more on this story, pick up a copy of this week's Standard Times.
NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆōResidents turned out in groves to MondayŌĆÖs Town Council meeting where a decision on what to do with the old Beechwood House was finally made. after more than four hours of discussions, presentations, questions and answers, and public input.
The council voted unanimously to go with Andrew McClatchyŌĆÖs proposal of moving the original house to his property at 70 Cold Spring Lane, but not after applicant Stanley Weiss withdrew his proposal.
For more on this story, pick up a copy of this week's Standard Times.

The longtime CCRI English professor and former president of the North Kingstown Rotary Club, has created another trivia game that has the dual objective of providing fun and informing people about state landmarks.
When last we checked in with Roberta, a year ago, she was launching Rhode Test, her first game which sold 3,000 copies. ŌĆ£Rhode Test had families conversing, reminiscing and learning,ŌĆØ she says.
