GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Staff is amazing with the children
I am the proud parent of a first year transist student. My family and I are new to the area of VA and this school. This year my daughter is a third grader and I have had the best time with this school. The best things about Woodstock are the friendly staff and faculty members,the PTA activities,and the one on one parent/teacher communication. We are a military family and my daughter is getting at the age in which our times in transist are beginning to affect her. She is a stellar honor roll student who raves with praises about her school,friends,and teachers. Kudos to the Woodstock staff!!!
I am a mother of two girls who have attended Woodstock Elementary since kindergarten. This means I have been with the school for eight years. In this time I have been a Home room mom, many times, on the PTA board, been involved in numerous plays, carnivals and concerts. I Absolutely Love this school !!!!! The Administation, Teachers, Custodial and parents are the Best. I will alsways recommend this school to any parent.
All the staff at this school are amazing! They really take time out for every child!! I am very lucky to have bought a home in this school district.
I have to say this is the best elementary school my daughter has attended thus far. We weree there for 2 yrs and had nothing but good experiences. Knowledgable and caring staff, teachers, and principle made this school the best I have ever volunteered for. My daughter excelled there and was safe. A far contrast to where we are now in Hawaii. By far the BEST!
My children have been attending Woodstock for three years now and all I can say is Bravo! The teachers are very caring and understanding, the staff is wonderful and helpful. My kids struggled coming from another school at the beginning and with all the help from these wonderful teachers my kids have been on the Honor Roll for the past year. I am proud of this school in so many ways. I would recommend this school to anyone.
My granddaughter recently completed Kindergarten there. The atmosphere and caring by the teaching staff is so fantastic. She learned so very much academically but she also learned social skills that will benefit her for the rest of her life. She learned how to be part of a group contributing her knowledge and learned how to be fair and respect for others. This has been a great foundation for her remaining school years. She is excited about entering 1st grade where I'm sure the same values will be taught. Thank you to teachers and staff. Good work! Carolyn English
I have had three children graduate from Woodstock. I have found this school to be a wonderful place for your children to learn and flourish. Most all of the teachers are fantastic! The administrators are kind and caring. The PTA is active. My only complaints are specific and not properly addressed here. Overall, this is a great school for your children to attend.

Buying Pet Insurance
Do you or don't you?

I signed up my lab last year with Trupanion pet insurance after doing a great amount of research on all of the companies policies. It's important to research them all before you purchase a policy so it makes sense for your wallet and your pet. I had to file a claim this summer when Charlie got into an accident and needed surgery on his hip. I have no idea how I would have been able to afford it if i didn't have him insured. When it comes to our pets, they really are unpredictable in instances when a random illness or accident can occur. Pet insurance is quite different from human insurance, but I can see why you might be slightly uncomfortable. Trupanion pet insurance covers 90% of the vet bill, they cover hereditary and congenital disorders, and their premiums don't increase with the age of the pet, unlike some other companies out there. After having pet insurance, I've realized that $27/ month for peace of mind and knowing my pet would be covered is definitely worth it. It may not be for everyone, but checking it out is worth a shot. :)

I've been thinking about it a lot lately, especially because I recently had an $800 emergency vet bill that didn't even include any surgery!
But for every story I've heard where someone has gotten an expensive surgery covered, I've heard several more where people have had a hard time getting money reimbursed. And I've heard most insurance companies don't cover agility injuries.
I do think that pet insurance companies are evolving, so I'm not totally ruling out the possibility yet!

I had ASPCA insurance, paid $400 a month for 5 animals. They paid virtually nothing back and anything they did actually pay, was only after numerous phone calls, resubmissions, etc. I would caution buyers to beware. They repeatedly declined for pre-existing conditions that did not exist, for claims they said were routine lab and not covered, that were actually diagnostics etc. A big big pain. I cancelled.

After having an emergency with my dog last summer where she tore a muscle in her leg I was very disappointed with my insurance. After spending over $300 on x-rays and diagnostics and then another $600 on treatment I got $50 back. I was told it was because it was my $300 detectable which also comes off of your maximum payout each year, My maximum payout for alternative treatments (which is what we did) Didn't cover any of the treatment, most went to my deductible and apparently x-rays aren't covered. I ended up spending all of the money I had saved all year for school to make sure that my dog got the treatment she needed, luckily the treatment worked she is happy and we didn't need to go threw with surgery.

I had thought about pet insurance, done the research and pretty much picked out the policy I would eventually go with (PetPlan USA http://www.gopetplan.com/). I can't say I was conscientious enough to think over the thoughtful issues of the author; I wish I had that excuse. Before I actually signed my greyhound up, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. We immediately signed up our second grey, and will not bring another pet into our pack without insurance.
We are 1. completely goofy about our dogs 2. good at research about treatments and blessed with wonderful vets and great resources for consultations and 3. in the fortunate position to be able to pay the + $4000 Maggie's care is costing. So much for a Christmas (or anytime soon) vacation, though.
However, we don't want to and could not do this again. It is heartbreaking to have to think of money when you have a sick or injured pet. As another poster stated, it is worth the price of the premium for peace of mind. It sure helped calm me down when Cookie, the insured grey, needed stitches from the emergency vet (the insurance company paid up and quickly!).
You definitely have to do your homework, however, as some policies are just evil scams, IMHO. Check out http://petinsurancereview.com/ for a good starting place. If you have a breed of dog that is prone to a hereditary illness or condition, DOUBLE-CHECK the policy. Check to see if your pet is covered for life.
Feel free to reply to me is you want more of my opinions!

I carry pet insurance through Pet Plan for my three border collies. I've watched too many friends dogs go through expensive surgeries and rehab and wanted to make sure that was an option for us if something ever happened. In the last two years I've filed enough claims for smaller things that it at least covered the cost of the premiums for the years. I hope I never need it for anything big but if I do it's peace of mind. I do not intend to use it to go to drastic measures is the outlook for one of my dogs wasn't good. I believe there is a balance you have to strike and it's something you have to think about in advance so it doesn't become an emotional decision later.

I purchased petplan pet insurance because I wanted a plan that would be there for any major emergency that we might face. The plan is backed by the humane society and doesn't cover routine procedures, but I already budget for those. I wanted coverage for the unforeseen cancer or broken bone and this plan covers that. It doesn't cover hereditary problems, but I think being a dog owner implies swallowing the fact that purebreds are going to have hereditary problems. In the end, I know I would mortgage my house to keep my dog alive; and therefore, I'd rather pay a minimum amount every three months to an insurance company to keep from having to do just that.
So far, I haven't had to use the insurance and I hope that I never have to! However, it will be there if I need it.

The problem with pet health insurance is twofold: one, that it is largely unregulated as an industry so chicanery abounds; two - you STILL have to pay the vet and then hope for reimbursement at a level that you think you are paying for. IMHO, that latter isn't going to happen any time soon. Please understand that vets' offices are not going to bill the insurance for you. Even in the emergency situation, you still have to pay FIRST and go begging to the insurance company afterwards. When you do, you will be supplicating "adjusters" whose complete job description could be written like this: "save money for your employer." Not "pay the nice people for their poor dog's injuries/illness/hereditary problem." I have to say I've also overheard my horse vet saying that it was no problem to "charge what the traffic would bear" about an owner whose horse needed surgery and who had insurance for this which is even more rare in equestrian circles than among companion animal guardians. I do think it is a temptation to vets to keep raising the fees esp. for exotic surgeries which may or may not actually improve the life of the animal, as well as unnecessary and duplicative diagnostics. I personally have been thinking long and hard about watching the whole pet insurance thing travel paths identical to the abusive human health insurance problems and would like to see a lot more intelligent legislative oversight of these companies before purchasing their expensive "products" which are most often emotionally marketed and spontaneously purchased on scare tactics by these often unethical companies.

My dog, when first adopted from a humane society (before her training as a Service Dog began) was given a bill of good health upon my adopting her.
As a side note: Please consider donating to the Farley Foundation, a Canadian Not-For-Profit Charity dedicated to assisting the disabled with emergency veterinary bills for their pets (or service animals).
I too have Trupanion Insurance for my GShep and 2 chihuahuas. After many late nights perusing the web for Pet Insurance options after adopting my rescued GShep, a friend told me about Trupanion. He'd already had one successful claim with them, and was quickly reimbursed 90% of his large (a few thousand dollars) vet bill after an emergency incident with his GShep). I figured I could always cancel if I found something better, but at least here was an actual report from someone I actually knew who had actually gotten a check from their pet insurance company - and without any problems.
I'm still with Trupanion, no need to use them yet thank goodness, but my same friend has again. He said he was reimbursed his 90% even quicker this time (another emergency appointment running a few thousand, his dog gets into a lot of stuff adventuring I guess!!), with no fuss from Trupanion or increase in his rates. He couldn't be happier with them. Seems like with dogs like ours, who are out at the park or beach daily, hiking a few times a week, leading very active lifestyles, pet insurance is indeed worth the minimal monthly expense. (We each pay around $35-40 for each dog for $0 deductible). Also, since I got the GShep covered before he was 1yr, Hip Dysplasia is covered too).
Not a bad deal for peace of mind, I hope I never have to use it!

When I adopted my two mixed breeds 11 years ago, I decided to forgo insurance. I assumed the roughly $600 in premiums I would spend over 10+ years would exceed any potential medical expenses. Boy was I wrong!
For 10 years both dogs were very healthy. However, last August, my Jiffy was diagnosed with soft-tissue sarcoma. In 4 months, after biopsies, surgery, prescriptions, and radiation treatments, I racked up bills over over $12,000. On top of all that, my little girl passed on Christmas Day.
During all of this, I reviewed many pet insurance policies and finally settled on Trupanion for my 10 year old Border Collie mix. I was limited to just a few based on her age. However, I liked the fact that Trupanion has a $20k lifetime limit, with no per-incident maximums. Also, they pay 90% of ACTUAL costs (what's with this ALLOWED costs BS, anyway?). Due to my dog's age I pay a monthly premium of $50, but it is well worth the peace of mind after the amount I spent last fall. Thankfully, I haven't had to use it but I'm comforted in knowing that others have had positive experiences regarding reimbursements.

Everyone wants to be liked and accepted, but many of us spend too much time and energy worrying about what other people think. You might not even realize you're doing it, but these kinds of mental gymnastics are unhealthy and stressful, making us feel unworthy and removing our attention from the present moment.
Here are four steps to help you stop worrying about what other people think, designed to help you maintain healthier and happier relationships with yourself and others.
1. Understand why you care.
In order to break the cycle, it's important to understand where the energy is coming from. We've been socialized by a culture that sets norms for our belongingness. From birth, we're taught we should act a certain way, dress a certain way, buy certain products, and adhere to certain ideologies to be liked and accepted. Social media brings the popularity contest to a whole new level, where how many friends we have, and how much they "like" us, is now publicly broadcast and recorded.
We are stressed and exhausted trying to manage our real and online personas to make sure that people continue to like and accept us. Many of us have spent our whole lives in this cycle, believing that a certain set of actions would bring us acceptance, only to repeatedly find that this is not the case. This is a form of social conditioning that we must now give ourselves permission to release!
2. Learn this mantra: What Other People Think About Me Is None of My Business!
The root of the problem with caring about what people think about you is that you're attaching yourself to an outcome that you have absolutely no control over. That's right, you have NO CONTROL over what people say, do and think about you! You can have the best intentions, or you can do something ridiculous: It doesn't matter. You do not control the way people will respond, just as they do not control the way you respond to them.
The belief that you have any ownership of or control over people's opinions about you comes from a place of ego. The reality is that what other people think about you is none of your business! Take a moment and begin to process and accept this perspective. See how the mantra makes you feel, and note the resistance you might feel from your ego. This is normal. (In fact, with all this time spent worrying and managing expectations, this mantra can feel downright strange at first!)
3. Direct the energy to something positive.
This new perspective frees up an immense amount of time and energy to live in the NOW and experience your authentic flow. It also breaks the cycle of conditioning that if you could only do X, say Y, and buy Z, people would like and accept you. Deep inside we know that true acceptance comes from within. So instead of caring so much if someone might be talking about you behind your back …
Breathe, repeat your mantra, and then direct the excess energy towards something positive, like following your passion and doing what you love! And if you don't know what you're passionate about, go and find out! Try a creative new activity, such making art, dancing, playing music, building something, or frolicking outside. You'll be amazed at how happy and free you feel when you spend time doing what you love instead of worrying about what other people think!
4. Practice daily self-love and acceptance.
When you're living and creating from a place of genuine love and acceptance, you will know that what other people do, say, and think about you really has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them. If you don't like what they have to say about you, you can walk away knowing you are being true to yourself.
A regular, daily practice of self-love and self-acceptance is key for releasing attachment to outcomes and maintaining happy, healthy relationships. For many people, this journey begins with meditation, breath-work, yoga, eating healthy, spending time in nature, and creating art. No matter what you do, make sure to do something that reminds you how much you love yourself every day. As you feel more self-love and self-acceptance, you will attract more of it into your space.
This is a life-long mission, not an instant transformation that happens overnight, so please be kind and forgive yourself if you fall back into the cycle of worrying about what other people think. If you find yourself feeling attached to their opinions of you, just remember that they, like you, are walking a long journey of internal healing and growth, and that their attitudes are unique and personal to them … and truly none of your business!

CONTRIBUTOR: Dr. Kelly Neff
The mind is a real magician. It often presents an illusion so real that we don't even stop to consider if it's true. When we define ourselves by our projections (projections created by our minds – the same tricky mind that likes lying to us), we lock ourselves in the fiction that we already know who we are based on fears, logic, conditioning and habits.
We're limiting our true potential.
It's time to examine your mind and ask yourself, "What lies am I telling myself that are holding me back?" Here's a list of 10 that you should be aware of and avoid, to become the happiest version of yourself.
1. You are your feelings – you are your thoughts.
When you're encompassed by a powerful emotion it can feel like it's in every fiber of your being. But is this actually true? Are we our emotions?
If we were our feelings or thoughts, when they disappear, we should disappear too. But we don't. Thoughts, feelings and emotions fade away like a weather system passing through. They are not you.
2. Risks aren't worth it.
Many people are on a quest for safety, but the reality is that no one will never attain it, given the certainty of uncertainty. Everyone lives in a constant state of change. So whether you play it safe or take risks, the outcome isn't guaranteed
Make choices that put you above everything and everyone else. Even your loved ones. After all, if you're not taking care of yourself, your relationships will eventually suffer.
3. Happiness is attached to material success.
You can't buy happiness. The things in life that truly make us happy are always free: love, laughter, the present moment, kindness, acceptance, gratitude and compassion.
4. You're fat, ugly, short or dumb.
There will always be someone smarter, funnier, more successful or better looking, you will never live up to the projections you seek. Remember that life is impermanent, so putting your self worth in the basket of physical appearances always will let you down. Stop worrying, because you'll only face an endless struggle of trying to maintain something that will always be out of grasp.
5. You're a victim, or it's never your fault.
Stop being the victim. Is anyone else really responsible for how you feel inside? We all love to blame; how convenient it is that we often overlook our own responsibility in our relationships.
Accepting fault will improve your credibility, increase learning, solidify relationships and you will appear trustworthy. It will give you strength, not weaken it.
6. You don't need my friends.
Many times your friendships will take a back seat to other prioritizes, like your kids or work, but telling yourself you don't need to make the effort is a big mistake.
Friends are good for your health. Friends can help you celebrate good times and provide support during bad times. Friends prevent loneliness, enhance happiness, reduce stress and give you companionship.
7. The past decides the future.
Stop trying to hold on to the past, and stop beating yourself up for your past actions. We all make mistakes. It's the way we learn, but you are not your mistakes. The past is gone, and dwelling will only strip the present of joy. This is your life, right now!
8. You are alone.
When you feel lonely, sad or hurt you may mistakenly believe that you're alone, that no one else has ever felt so low. The reality is that everyone in the entire universe at one time or another has felt these exact emotions. Just because you can't always see the connection doesn't mean it isn't there, so take comfort in our interdependence.
9. You need to be perfect.
Find the balance between doing a good job and obsessing. Perfectionism causes stress, pessimism, obsessiveness, guilt, and the list goes on. Rememmber you are only human. Tackle life with a light playfulness. Stop taking yourself so seriously.
10. You need to worry about everything.
It is true that worrying strips you of all joy. Can we end suffering? I think we can, if we could only realize that all our suffering comes from our own unpleasant feelings. What if we changed our reactions and thoughts to outer problems. Just ask yourself, what if? It opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
Recognize your thoughts, and don't be afraid to question them and redefine them.

CONTRIBUTOR: Tina Williamson
Reality is not as obvious and simple as we like to think. Some of the things that we accept as true at face value are notoriously wrong. Scientists and philosophers have made every effort to change our common perceptions of it. The 10 examples below will show you what I mean.
1. Great glaciation.
Great glaciation is the theory of the final state that our universe is heading toward. The universe has a limited supply of energy. According to this theory, when that energy finally runs out, the universe will devolve into a frozen state. Heat energy produced by the motion of the particles, heat loss, a natural law of the universe, means that eventually this particle motion will slow down and, presumably, one day everything will stop.
2. Solipsism.
Solipsism is a philosophical theory, which asserts that nothing exists but the individual's consciousness. At first it seems silly – and who generally got it into his head completely deny the existence of the world around us? Except when you put your mind to it, it really is impossible to verify anything but your own consciousness.
Don't you believe me? Think a moment and think of all the possible dreams that you have experienced in your life. Is it not possible that everything around you is nothing but an incredibly intricate dream? But we have people and things around us that we cannot doubt, because we can hear, see, smell, taste and feel them, right? Yes, and no. People who take LSD, for example, say that they can touch the most convincing hallucinations, but we do not claim that their visions are "reality". Your dreams simulate sensations as well, after all, what you perceive is what different sections of your brain tell you to.
As a result, which parts of existence can we not doubt? None. Not the chicken we ate for dinner or the keyboard beneath our fingers. Each of us can only be sure in his own thoughts.
3. Idealist Philosophy
George Berkeley, the father of Idealism, argued that everything exists as an idea in someone's mind. Berkley discovered that some of his comrades considered his theory stupid. The story goes that one of his detractors kicked a stone with his eyes closed and said, "There I've disproved it!"
The idea being that if the stone really only exists in his imagination, he could not have kicked it with his eyes closed. Refutation of Berkeley is hard to understand, especially in these days. He argued that there is an omnipotent and omnipresent God, who sees all and all at once. Realistic, or not?
4. Plato and Logos.
Everybody has heard of Plato. He is the world's most famous philosopher. Like all philosophers he had a few things to say about reality. He argued that beyond our perceived reality there lies a worldof "perfect" forms. Everything that we see is just a shade, an imitation of how things truly are. He argued that by studying philosophy we have a chance of catching a glimpse of how things truly are, of discovering the perfect forms of everything we perceive.
In addition to this stunning statement, Plato, being a monist, said thateverything is made of a single substance. Which means (according to him) that diamonds, gold and dog feces all consist of the same basic material, but in a different form, which, with science's discovery of atoms and molecules, has been proven true to an extent.
5. Presentism.
Time is something that we perceive as a matter of course, if we view it at the moment, we usually divide it into past, present and future. Presentism argues that the past and the future are imagined concepts, while only the present is real.
In other words, today's breakfast and every word of this article will cease to exist after you have read it, until you open it again. The future is just as imaginary, because time cannot exist before and after it happened, as claimed by St. Augustine.
6. Eternalism.
Enternalism is the exact opposite of presentism. This is a philosophical theory that says that time is multi-layered. It can be compared to a pound cake (however, unlike the time, a biscuit is not up for philosophical debate). All time exists simultaneously, but the measurement is determined by the observer. What he sees depends on which point he is looking at.
Thus dinosaurs, World War II and Justin Bieber all exist simultaneously but can only be observed from a specific location. If one takes this view of reality then the future is hopeless and the deterministic free will is illusory.
7. The Brain in a Jar
The "brain in a jar" thought experiment is a question discussed by thinkers and scientists, who, like most people, believe that human's understanding of reality depends solely on his subjective feelings.
So, what is the debate? Imagine that you are just a brain in a jar that is run by aliens or mad scientists. How would you know? And can you truly deny the possibility that this is your reality?
This is a modern interpretation of the Cartesian evil demon problem. This thought experiment leads to the same conclusion: we cannot confirm the actual existence of anything except our consciousness. If this seems to sound reminiscent of the movie "The Matrix", it is only because this idea was part of the very basis of the story. Unfortunately, in reality we have no red pills…
8. The Multiverse Theory
Anyone who has not spent the last ten years on a desert island, has at least once heard of "the multiverse", or parallel universes. As many of us have seen, parallel words, in theory, are worlds very similar to ours, with little (or in some cases, large) changes or differences. The multiverse theory speculates that there could exist an infinite number of these alternate realities.
What's the point? In a parallel reality you have already killed the dinosaurs, and you are lying under the ground at a depth of eight feet (because that's what happened there.) In the other you might be a powerful dictator. In another you might never have even been born since your parents never met. Now that's a memorable image.
9. Fictional realism.
This is the most fascinating branch of multiverse theory. Superman is real. Yes, some of you would probably choose a different story, for argument's sake, Harry Potter might be real too. This branch of the theory argues that given an infinite number of universes, everything must exist somewhere. So, all of our favorite fiction and fantasy may be descriptive of an alternate universe, one where all the right pieces came in to place to make it happen.
10. Phenomenalism.
Everyone is interested in what happens to things when we aren't looking at them. Scientists have carefully studied this problem and some of them came to a simple conclusion - they disappear. Well, not quite like this. Phenomenalist philosophers believe that objects only exist as a phenomenon of consciousness. So, your laptop is only here while you are aware of, and believe in its existence, but when you turn away from it, it ceases to exist until you or someone else interacts with it. There is no existence without perception. This is the root of phenomenalism.

A word from Deuxave
Co-Owners Brian Piccini and Executive Chef Christopher Coombs are proud of their award winning Restaurant & Bar, Deuxave in the Back Bay. The inspiration behind the restaurant's American Nouveau Cuisine is seasonality, with a focus on working with the finest farms and purveyors, sourcing out the freshest, local ingredients and amplifying their magnificence. The cuisine is strongly rooted in the nouvelle techniques of contemporary French cuisine, married with the splendor of American ingredients in a refined, but casual setting. Deuxave's (pronounced doo-ave) name plays homage to its location at the corners of Commonwealth Ave and Massachusetts Ave.Continued

- OutstandingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/21/2014Had an amazing dinner on Sunday 21st Sept - only disappointment was the table my husband and I were given - in the corner next to a group of 10 girls celebrating a birthday. Extremely noisey and at times difficult to hear each other speak.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nice spotsquidlyDined on 9/21/2014Deuxave is a very nice place to have dinner, as they have a very pleasant location in the Back Bay, nicely decorated. The food was very good overall; i especially liked the Heirloom Beet Salad i ordered. My wife ordered steak medium rare, but it arrived rare and she asked them to add a couple of minutes to it, which they did and she subsequently enjoyed it. We had fries as a side order but they were over salted. The desert was lovely (Raspberry Chocolate Royale) but the espresso we both ordered arrived before the desert (a common mistake in this country, i've found), and it was only warm, not hot. This means the coffee was produced in cold cups, not warmed ones. This is a very nice restaurant, but there's room for improvement.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Fine EveningOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/20/2014It was a pleasure to dine at a restaurant with interesting and excellent food, superb service, and an environment perfect for a conversation. Thank you for understanding all the elements necessary for a wonderful evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brilliant FindleeintpaflDined on 9/20/2014The last time my wife and I were in Boston we stumbled across Deuxave. It was an incredible dining experience and we vowed to come back the next time we were in town.

- Best of BostonOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 9/20/2014Better than perfection! Enjoyed another outstanding evening at Deuxave! Our server John and the food were food par excellence! Delicious lobster gnocchi, NY strip and halibut with a great wine pairing recommended by Sommelier Jason Irving provided for another outstanding meal at Deuxave! We topped off dinner with one of the best desserts in Boston-the Rocky Road. We left well fed and looking forward to our next visit to Deuxave!Special Features:
- not as expectedgrotonfoodieDined on 9/20/2014This restaurant came highly recommended by some foodie friends, and the food did not meet the hype. Don't get us wrong, the food was good, but it didn't wow us especially for the price we paid. The ambiance was great, as was the service. So, the experience was very nice – if only the food delivered.Special Features:

- Worth your moneyStevenDined on 9/19/2014I've been to over 9 Michelin-starred restaurants around the world and I'm telling you this one is definitely worth a try although it's not a Michelin-starred restaurant. It's mainly French cuisine so be prepared to love it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/14/2014We went to Deuxave two years ago for our anniversary after it was recommended by a friend. I remembered the food and service being outstanding and this visit was no different. If you want an extra special night out, this is the place to go. We will not be waiting two years until we go again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous!lindamDined on 9/13/2014I cannot say enough about Deuxave. Took my husband there for his birthday and our experience was excellent. We will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable and deliciousIdoluvtotravelDined on 9/12/2014The food was delicious. Especially the duck breast. Our server was extremely attentive and in control. We had a delightfully romantic dinner. If in town again I would consider coming to this restaurant again. Only concern was table was too far apart for romance, so we sat on the same side together. Nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A very good experience!LemarcasDined on 9/12/2014It was a quite good option for a dinner with a costumer. Great food & Service! Congratulations!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Impressive food, serviceWilmetteBoxerDined on 9/12/2014Highly recommended. Duck confit and the lobster starter both sensationally good. Halibut and lobster main courses also impressive, maybe a bit too big (the duck esp.) but carefully balanced, hearty, and full of delicate accents. Impossible not to love this food or its attractive, bold, but not fussy plating. The "cheesecake" dessert is also outstanding but maybe could lose its gelatin coating. Perfect service, attentive, low-key, candid; our waiter knew a lot about every dish we queried. We'd go back in a heartbeat and will be recommending it to all our Boston-bound friends. We were charmed, delighted, floated out the door thinking of a return visit.Special Features:
- Fantastic dining experience!PepsinDined on 9/12/2014The foie gras was too die for. The waiter also made our night fabulous - Don was knowledgable, and expert in wines (pick all our wine choices for each person) and so entertaining and fun. Ask for him when you reserve a table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedLeftdisappointedDined on 9/12/2014French onion soup excellent! Main course of fruits de mar not to my expectation. Waited all day in anticipation of having this meal and when it arrived I turned to my husband and asked when they were bringing the rest of the food. On the plate were two small chunks of fish, a side of corn mixed with a few of the smallest baby clams and squid tenticals I have evere seen! So small I had to borrow my husband's magnifier glasses to find them. While I don't ever mind spending money on an excellent meal, this meal was a huge disappointment. I would recommend the onion soup, bread and a drink.
- FoodieGirlVIPDined on 9/12/2014Loved the food. Excellent value for what you get! They were so sweet to my 10 month old. It was an amazing Birthday Dinner. Thank you!Special Features:
- BostondiningDined on 9/10/2014Food was good but portions small. Wine list unnecessarily expensive.
- Fabulous in every waySallyADined on 9/10/2014We loved everything about this restaurant. Strangers to Boston, visiting from Australia, we found it on TripAdvisor and walked to it from our hotel in Boylston Ave. Service was excellent - we noticed the staff wander around during the evening just checking as they go that all our needs were being looked after. Food was sssoooo great! We had 3 courses which were all a taste sensation. And the wine list was very extensive. Wesley was our wait person and knew what he was talking about with regards the food and wine! He was excellent too....would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a special dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dissapointing Staff/Good LocationJohnDoeVIPDined on 9/9/2014The interior is beautiful and the food is very good. The staff seem to self proclaim themselves the hottest ticket in Boston in terms of self importance which is unfortunate. They also rush around so much that in the course of our dinner, no less than 6 utensils were dropped within our tables range. The have a policy of not seating anyone until the entire party is there. This wasn't disclosed prior to arrival and makes it difficult if somone is arriving from the airport or the suburbs. Despite this strict rule and the attitude that went with it, I did see another table of 5 have their 6th guest sit about 20 minutes after the others had been sat. Staff left a bad taste in my mouth.Special Features:
- we stumbled on place a while backOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 9/9/2014and have been back alone and with special friends and colleagues. the service is incredibly wonderful. knowledgeable, discreet, friendly. the food is superb and the menu changing. one of the best in Boston without a doubtSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Made a perfect night even betterCastleWeddingDined on 9/7/2014I just wanted to take a second to express my appreciation at this fabulous establishment. Everything from the food, to the wine, to the service was impeccable, and the staff made us feel like we were honored guests. We booked a table for two at this restaurant to celebrate getting married. The minute we walked in, the manager of the restaurant greeted us personally and showed us directly to our table, a beautiful little spot away from the noise of the kitchen and with a lovely view of Commonwealth Ave. Our waiter, Wesley, was probably the most well-spoken and well informed staff member I've ever experienced. My hat off to him and the entire staff at DeuxAve, we will most certainly be coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Too coldMolonlanDined on 9/7/2014Food was very good in every aspect. Wine list is ok with a decent offer by the glass. However, they failed totally on cocktails. The atmosphere was very dark, everything in grey, black or dark brown. Lights are dimmed and no linen on the wooden tables. This created a cold overall feeling. This was topped by the attitude of the waiters. Not trained well, therefore hectic and on the other side arrogant made the evening short and overall disappointing.Special Features:
- An excellent dinnerTimperDined on 9/6/2014I took my wife for to Deuxave when we visited Boston last weekend. The restaurant was aware it was her birthday and accommodated the experience with a window table. The server reviewed the full menu with us and made suggestions. The plating for each course was artistically inspired and the food was expertly created. Wine selection was reasonably priced. It rivaled any Michelin 2-star we have visited in France and we didn't have to deal with the pretension. The staff, from the reception to the bus-people were expertly trained. We highly recommend visiting Deuxave!Special Features:
- An Outstanding Finduna18Dined on 9/6/2014We celebrated our 45th Wedding Anniversary at Deuxave. It was one of the best restaurants that we have visited. Only surpassed by two of the restaurants we've dined at in Paris. We will return as will our friends who joined us. We had appetizers (3) entrees (4) and 2 desserts. All were delectable!Special Features:

- Fun and Delicious Evening!LoveToCookDined on 9/5/2014Our party of four had a great time at this restaurant during an overnight trip to Boston. We arrived early and were seated immediately, which was really appreciated. Our waiter was wonderful; offering food and drink recommendations, and as the night went on, joking with us and embracing the spirit of our table, which was festive (we were on a girls' trip, afterall). The food was excellent and artfully presented, and the champagne and wine recommendations perfect. The ambiance of this place lends itself to romantic dinners, however, our area of tables were very close together, so a private, romantic meal could be difficult when seated next to a party such as ours. Luckily, the diners near us didn't mind, and the evening was a delight!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great dinner!JayPVIPDined on 9/4/2014We had another great dinner at Deuxave. Our waiter, Shane, was terrific. Jason did another amazing job of selecting a great bottle of wine. We usually get the duck as it is our favorite, but went with the chicken and vegetarian dishes this time. Both were outstanding. The lobster gnocchi appetizer was also excellent. Absolutely the best restaurant in Boston.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

When we made the reservation we had only 4 people in our party when the number changed to 6. I called ahead and change the reservation to 6 which they were able to handle without difficulty. They were also very helpful in getting us an umbrella due to a down pour which we were not prepared for. The desserts and main course were a delight to eat. One of the best places, I have eaten in BostonSpecial Features:
- Wow...KatzDined on 8/31/2014Haven't had a meal this exceptional in years! We had the Lobster and gnocchi, it was as good as others have commented.Special Features:
- The ExtrasSeanachieDined on 8/30/2014We expected and received a superb meal graciously presented and served -- the extras made it special: We asked our server about halfway through to take a picture since it was our 45th Anniversary. He was genuinely pleased -- put then passed the word around. We were served a complimentary digestif and both our desert plates had Happy Anniversary written in chocolate. Both are minor items but delightfully thoughtful. We had a 1983 Graham Port which turned out to be excellent about a bit dreggy. Our server notified the bartender who personally came over to apologize and offer us another -- we had not complained nor even mentioned the issue. We expected excellence, the meal and service exceeded our expectations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Plus: Factory Orders Climb, Unemployment Rate Falls to Four-Year Low, Wind Energy Faces End of Tax Credit and Petrochemical Prices Decline Worldwide.
Factory Orders Increase
New orders for United States manufactured goods rose 0.8 percent in October, following a 4.5 percent increase in September and marking the highest gain in eight months, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. The value of new orders climbed by $3.8 billion to a total of $477.6 billion for the month. Excluding the often volatile transportation category, new orders rose 1.3 percent.
Demand for manufactured durable goods increased 0.5 percent to $217.9 billion, the fifth gain in the last six months. Machinery orders, up two consecutive months, posted the largest increase, climbing 4.6 percent to $31.3 billion. Meanwhile, primary metals orders increased 1.6 percent to $28.4 billion and orders for manufactured non-durable goods rose 1.1 percent to $259.7 billion.
"Manufacturing, the pillar of the recovery from the 2007-09 recession, has lost momentum in recent months as fears of the 'fiscal cliff' and slowing global demand slammed the economy," Reuters notes. "October's factory orders suggested that manufacturing was not heading for a hard landing, even though factories are struggling to regain momentum."
On another positive note, orders for core capital goods (excluding aircraft and defense equipment), which serve as an indicator of future business investment, rose 2.9 percent after dropping 0.5 percent in September, suggesting companies have become less reluctant to spend. Goods shipments, up three of the last four months, increased 0.4 percent to $482.3 billion.
"Consumers may also be getting nervous about higher taxes. Economists cited the fiscal cliff as a key reason consumer spending fell in October by the most since May. When consumers cut back on spending, businesses typically reduce their pace of restocking. Both trends are expected to slow economic growth at the end of the year," the Associated Press reports. "However, many economists believe growth will pick up in 2013 if Washington is able to resolve its budget dispute without inflicting serious harm on the economy."
Apple to Shift Some Production Back to U.S.
Apple CEO Tim Cook last week announced the tech giant would move production of some of its Mac computers from Asia back to the U.S.
Cook said the company would invest $100 million into the move, possibly raising capital from other investors to increase that figure, Bloomberg Businessweek reports. Economist Dan Luria, of the Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center, compared the announcement to similar reshoring moves by hardware firms Lenovo Group and LG Chem, predicting Apple could create 200 manufacturing jobs in the U.S.
Cook, who took over as CEO of Apple from Steve Jobs before his Oct. 5, 2011 death, announced the move in an interview with NBC News. "We've been working for years on doing more and more in the United States," he said. "When you back up and look at Apple's effect on job creation in the United States, we estimate that we've created more than 600,000 jobs now."
Apple has yet to release more details about the reshoring effort, though speculators predict the company's Mac computer production in the U.S. will constitute a considerably smaller percentage of its technology offering than higher profile items like iPhones and iPads.
Unemployment Rate Falls to Four-Year Low
The U.S. labor market added 146,000 non-farm jobs in November, driving the national unemployment rate down to 7.7 percent, the lowest level since December 2008, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Although the jobless rate remained largely unaffected by the impact of Hurricane Sandy, the drop in the national reading was due largely to people leaving the workforce.
"The latest employment report draws a portrait of an economy growing steadily at 2% a year and adding an average of 150,000 jobs a month," MarketWatch notes. "Yet the U.S. would have to expand at a much faster clip and create jobs at twice the current rate to get the economy back on the same growth path before the 2007-2009 recession struck."
The largest employment gains last month were in the retail trade industry, which added 53,000 jobs, followed by professional and business services, which gained 43,000 jobs. Meanwhile, manufacturing employment posted a small net loss. Job gains in the motor vehicles industry, which added 10,000 positions, and wood products, which added 3,000 jobs, were offset by losses in food manufacturing (-12,000) and chemicals (-9,000).
"Households claimed they had 122,000 fewer jobs in November, and also showed 350,000 people dropped out of the labor force," CNN Money reports. "The unemployment rate fell because there were fewer people looking for work. The Labor Department only counts people who have searched for a job in the last four weeks as officially unemployed."
Wind Energy Producers Threatened by Expiring Tax Credit
The federal production tax credit (PTC) that has helped expand the wind industry is in danger of expiring as the fiscal cliff deadline approaches. A bipartisan group of lawmakers is striving to pass a one-year extension of the credit. Without it, the U.S. wind industry faces the threat of losing jobs and production capabilities.
On Friday, governors from several western states called on Congress to extend the credit, claiming that it is integral to creating manufacturing jobs, improving security and achieving green energy goals.
In the past five years, the wind industry has accounted for one-third of new U.S. power generation, USA Today reports. Additionally, it has reduced air pollution by cutting 137,000 pounds of smog-forming emissions and 91,000 pounds of soot-forming emissions every year, according to Environment America, a federation of state-based, citizen-funded environmental advocacy organizations. Last month, the group issued a release showing how wind energy impacts the environment.
"Extending the wind Production Tax Credit is one of the most straightforward ways we can support clean, Made-in-America energy and American manufacturing jobs," said U.S. Senator Mark Udall (D-Colo.). "We need the PTC to help create more good-paying jobs here at home, including jobs for our veterans, who are transitioning from the military into the civilian workforce."
Without an extension, the wind industry faces extensive cutbacks. So far, reports reveal that mere uncertainty over the extension has already cost the industry thousands of jobs. Opponents of the tax credit extension claim that the estimated $1.3 billion cost to taxpayers is too steep.
Global Petrochemical Prices Fall
Prices in the $3 trillion global petrochemicals market fell by 2 percent in November down to an average of $1,323 per metric ton, according to the latest Platts Global Petrochemical Index (PGPI), a monthly report tracking seven widely used petrochemical products.
"November petrochemical prices moved almost lock step with global oil prices," Jim Foster, Platts senior editor of petrochemical analytics, said in an announcement of the findings. "Crude oil was dominating many other petrochemical-specific supply and demand factors during the month."
The November increase followed a less than 1 percent drop in October, when average prices fell to $1,351 per metric ton. On a year-over-year basis, petrochemical prices were up 14 percent from the November 2011 total.
Petrochemicals are commonly used in the manufacturing, construction, pharmaceuticals, aviation and electronics industries. These chemicals are part of the production processes for plastics, rubber, nylon and other materials.

"I shall be telling this with a sigh"
Robert Frost
Mother's Moody Blues
When she's tired, she's moody,
Can be dangerous as well.
Gives looks enough to kill us,
Yes, she really gives us hell.
She shouts and says she works hard,
Then cleans house, and has to cook.
Says, none of us would give a damn,
If we lived in our lives in muck.
She also goes to work now,
Needs to subsidise our way.
Since I got made redundant,
And now get lower pay.
She trundles through the kitchen,
And stamps her way up stairs.
She shouts and moans and groans a lot,
Says, no one really cares.
We sit here saying nothing
It's safer much that way.
'Cause if we dare to say a word
She'd really make us pay.
She'll get up in the morning.
To start another day.
But then because she's rested,
She'll be happy, nice and gay.
She really is a lovely mum,
A wife and grandma too.
And if we ever lost her,
We would not know what to do.
Its only when she's tired,
That we're careful what we say,
And even then we love her lots,
But... stay out of her way!
Ivor G Davies

The St. Landry Parish Council has dropped its lawsuit against Parish President Bill Fontenot. The two sides were supposed to be in court for a status conference today, but, according to Fontenot, the two sides agreed to drop the case. The council was suing Fontenot over records they said weren't being made available to them. Fontenot maintains he made the records available to them at all times.

Why is the UK hell-bent on pushing out students so fast?
What a joy to wake up to a man on the radio talking about the importance of creative uncertainty, doubt and mystery. He was discussing these qualities in relationship to education, but to me, as I lay in my bed, I was more fascinated by the reference of the words to life in general and architecture in particular.

The "Perfume Commune" Cometh
Alexandra Balahoutis' Abbot Kinney Boulevard Strange Invisible Perfumes lab and store has become something of a shrine to old-fashioned perfumery since it first opened its doors in Venice, California over ten years ago. Rejecting the commonly held beauty biz mantra of mass production and cost-cutting over small batches and quality ingredients, each of her creations boasts only organic, wild-crafted or biodynamic essences set in a base of 100 percent organic grape alcohol, making her brand a favorite amongst green-leaning fragrance fiends and the discerning Hollywood set (who frequently seek out Balahoutis for her custom blending services as well). That said, it might come as a little bit of a surprise to learn that Balahoutis has relinquished her stronghold on the area and amenably welcome Fabrice Penot's Le Labo to the neighborhood—and by neighborhood, we mean the exact same complex—to form what the two like-minded perfumers have christened the "perfume commune." "[It's] much nicer to inhabit than a perfume island," Balahoutis jokes of the two stores that as of this Spring now exist alongside one another and are thus joined together in the pursuit of perfume—in its purest form. "If our brands were the same, this wouldn't make sense," Penot says, emphasizing that while there are certain inherent differences between SIP and Le Labo—aesthetically and in precise composition—both preach the importance of hand-blended formulas that are bottled in house, concepts that Penot and Balahoutis are hoping will revive consumer interest in the passion of perfume-making. "It's is a way to support one another in our common quest to deal with the difficult balance of art and commerce," Penot continues—and provide one hell-of-a one-stop-shop for perfume aficionados in the process.
Strange Invisible Perfumes and Le Labo, 1138 Abbot Kinney Blvd Venice, CA 90291; (310) 314-1505 and 310-581-2233.

Jim Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: HFC JPM ASNA CLR CMG OMED (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on Action Alerts PLUS. (Updates from 11:26 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Tuesday.
"HollyFrontier (HFC) "goes higher" because refiners are making a lot of money on the back of high oil production, Cramer said. HFC closed 1.9% lower at $48.25.
He also said that the Federal Reserve's approval of JPMorgan Chase's (JPM) capital plan means the bank can now "return a lot more money to its shareholders" and that the stock should go higher. JPM was flat at $58.26.Cramer said he likes Ascena Retail Group (ASNA) because "middle-market retail is doing much better" than big chain discount stores. ASNA rose 3.3% to $21.56. Cramer suggested investors avoid Continental Resources (CLR) unless they believe the current glut of oil will diminish in the near future. CLR fell 25 cents to $107.75. Chipotle Mexican Grill's (CMG) price target was raised again. Cramer likes the stock but that "at a certain point" it is approaching "nosebleed" levels. CMG was off 1.9% to $522.64. Cramer also said, "When Celgene (CELG) makes a deal with you, your stock flies," and that's exactly what's happening to OncoMed Pharmaceuticals (OMED), which is ripping higher Tuesday. OMED zoomed 98% to end the day at $27.70.
At the time of publication, Action Alerts PLUS, which Cramer co-manages as a charitable trust, held shares of JPM. To sign up for Jim Cramer's free Booyah! newsletter, with all of his latest articles and videos, please click here. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell
