Today I noticed that my ironing board cover was wrinkled. I laughed at the irony. Then I laughed again because irony has the word iron in it.
I get so antsy trying to decide on personal project material. The criteria is such a jumbled concoction of aspirations I struggle to nail down one simple idea that could work just fine.
Some ideas :
- Classic / Vintage movie poster with current movie actress / actor

Hershele Ostropoler, in a comment on John Scalzi's blog post, "Readercon, Harassment, Etc."
The comment is in reference to sexual harassment that occurred at the Readercon convention and the subsequent defense of the situation by some members of fandom and the Readercon Board.
It's also applicable to other situations where someone claims their intentions were pure and they didn't mean to do something sexist/racist/heterosexist/abelist, etc. Even if you did not mean to step on someone's foot—you did.

You don't get to decide what's not racist.

The same way men don't get to decide what's not sexist, cis people don't get to decide what's transphobic, and straight people don't get to decide what's not homophobic.
I'm ashamed/appalled/not remotely surprised this needs to be said.
I try to pick her up. She knocks my hand away. "You can get out of here if you want to," she screams. "You just don't want to."
"No, i can't," i say, weakly.
"Yes you can." she accuses. "You just don't want to."
I look helplessly at my mother. Her face is choked with pain. "Tell her to try to open the bars," she says in a whisper.
"I can't open the door," i tell my daughter. "I can't get through the bars. You try and open the bars."
My daughter goes over to the barred door that leads to the visiting room. She pulls and she pushes. She yanks and she hits and she kicks the bars until she falls on the floor, a heap of exhaustion. I go over and pick her up. I hold and rock and kiss her. There is a look of resignation on her face that i can't stand.
When the guard says the visit is over, i cling to her for dear life. She holds her head high, and her back as straight as she walks out of the prison. She waves good-bye to me, her face clouded and worried, looking like a little adult.
I go back to my cage and cry until i vomit. I decide that it is time to leave."—

The more I learn about racism and sexism, the less able I am to just sit back and enjoy stuff. I can't enjoy Firefly like I used to, I can't enjoy The Newsroom like my fiancé does, I can't laugh at Community like I want to, I've avoided Girls because of all the negative feminist commentary but I know it'll make me laugh if I watch it. Game of Thrones is one of my favourite things on tv but it is RIDICULOUS for the levels of sexism and the whitewashing inherent in it.
Where is the mainstream stuff that doesn't stumble into sexist and/or racist tropes? Where is the mainstream stuff that has people TRYING to avoid sexist/racist tropes? It's also no coincidence that all this stuff is American - you guys have the largest resources, some of the greatest minds, the most loudly heard commentary on racism and sexism and yet you still can't get true equality on the air. I'm not saying this like the rest of the world is any better - I know of very very VERY few instances of equality in British tv and film. I'm just saying…why hasn't this happened yet? Why isn't this happening NOW???? How long will I be watching film and tv and finding 99.999% of it problematic? I'm still going to watch GoT, I'm still going to love Firefly forever…but they are tarnished. We can do better than this. We have the minds, we have the knowledge, we have the resources. Who's in charge and why aren't they listening?

Mitigating active shooter situations at the K-12 level doesn't have to be expensive
Available security technology can potentially save lives and still be cost-effective
A rash of recent school shootings has renewed the call for better security. The problem is that K-12 schools often don't have the budget to match their growing security needs. But there are steps every district can take now to make schools safer, and they don't need to spend lot of money to do it.
Every K-12 school in the U.S. should have the $400 solution, which is outlined below, in their reception area. This is a simple solution that is still based on cutting-edge intelligent technology. Having this $400 solution could save a life, if not dozens.
Detection, Decision and Notification
First, we have to realize that there is no definitive way to entirely stop school shootings. We must concentrate, instead, on detecting and acting on a situation once it happens.
It doesn't matter how much security a school puts on fences, doors and lobbies. These measures may prevent some people from getting in, but it can't stop everyone. Someone intent on doing harm can easily tailgate a person with authorized entry through a controlled door. Imagine – a parent is buzzed into a school, and the bad guy walks in behind, draws a gun and starts shooting.
In active shooter situations, every second matters; and while it may not be possible to stop every crazed gunman from entering a school, technology can provide instant situational awareness making it possible to take immediate, potentially-life saving action.
The kneejerk reaction might be to consider a gunshot detector, but for cash-strapped schools, this would be cost prohibitive. Typically deployed in city centers, these detection devices use sophisticated triangulation to pinpoint the direction of a gunshot, but cost from $50,000 to $100,000 each.
A school's needs are much more modest. In an active shooter situation, it's not necessary to know precisely what direction a gunshot is coming from. But officials would want to be instantly alerted if there's a very loud sound, suggestive of screaming or gun shots.
Fortunately, there is a cost effective way for cash-strapped schools to accomplish this.
For several years many camera manufacturers have been adding more intelligence to their edge devices. Many are now configurable, like a mini self-contained computer, and can sense loud sounds through built-in microphones, ignore certain frequencies, make decisions and then notify those who need to know.
In an active shooter situation, there are three basic capabilities required:
- Detection (loud noise is detected)
- Decision (determination that it is potentially an active shooter situation)
- Notification (immediately alert the proper authorities, administrators and other stakeholders).
Let's look at how this can be accomplished using a typical $400 IP camera. Remember, the concept is very simple and so it should be doable with many models and brands. In this case, it was tested on one IP camera model and brand.
Many IP cameras have a built-in microphone (or alternatively a school can use an external mic via the line-in port). The idea is to use this microphone for detection. Audio detection can be configured in three ways to ensure the highest probability of detecting an active shooter situation.
- Threshold: this is the level above which the alarm will trigger, so it should be set quite high. It is easy to test – just have someone talk, shout and then scream and decide at which point you want an alarm to be generated. This will minimize false alarms. I also recommend that schools team up with their local police, who should be able to test the system using blanks.
- Sensitivity: this is how quickly the camera responds to changes in the sound environment, so it should be set fairly high. You want the alarm to trigger the moment the shot is heard, and not have to wait for a long period of high noise before the alarm trips.
- Tonal range: certain groups of frequencies can be selected or deselected to eliminate false alarms. To detect both gun shots and screaming, all frequencies should be activated. If it is just for gun shots, I recommend staying in the lower range -- 300Hz – 1 kHz.

There have been quite a few big changes at Matmi over the last couple of months – new projects, new staff, new babies and some great future opportunities in the pipeline – exciting times!
James has been mastering his role as Project Manager, and Michelle has now stepped into Operations Management - keeping the other Matmian's on their toes and Jeff in tow! We've also been working with Liane Grimshaw, tapping into her vast knowledge of the digital industry which has been a great insight.
So then, we have Helen here as our Office Administrator and Social Media assistant, and our lovely designer Jen is here full time (after getting a distinction for her Master's Degree in Games Design!) Joe, Jeff and Woody have been working their hearts out on Rollabear - Matmi's upcoming release – so fingers crossed they can have their evenings back again soon!
We'd like to thanks all the promising work experience students who have recently helped out and (we hope) learnt a thing or two along the way – big thumbs up to Tom, John and Lucas for all their hard work – now looking forwards to having Tom back for his Uni' gap year.
Congratulations to our Lead Designer Matt who just tied the knot, the other big news here has been BABIES! We have two very proud new dads at Matmi, Rob had a beautiful little girl called Lily Mae and Stewart's little bundle of love, Esme, arrived this week.
Finally, when we were asked to put on youth workshops in character design for the local Barnaby Festival – we jumped at the chance, and the sessions were the first to sell out. Matmi created a mobile optimised website for the Barnaby treasure hunt.
We may think globally but that doesn't mean we forget our local community and the importance of supporting it whenever we can!

Andre Drummond beat the odds to make Team USA's World Cup roster, and that pleased me a great deal.
I'm happy Drummond received the recognition he deserved. I'm happy he'll get valuable experience around other elite players.
And I could stop right there.
But now that Drummond made the team, I was at least hoping for a little more – Drummond to join the rotation.
Unfortunately, that seems unlikely.
Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski told ESPN.com this week that Cousins has cemented himself as the backup to starting center Anthony Davis.
Anthony Davis deserves to start. He's unquestionably the Americans' best big man. After him, it gets a little murky.
DeMarcus Cousins and Andre Drummond are both underrated and incomplete, and I could go back and forth about which player is better. Right now, the older Cousins probably has the edge, so I don't begrudge Krzyzewski for naming him the backup.
But both are better than Mason Plumlee, the team's other center and a Coach K favorite dating back to their time together at Duke. I thought if Plumlee won the backup job over Cousins – possible due to Krzyzewski's preferences – Drummond could then eventually overtake Plumlee based on merit. (Of course, Cousins would have had a chance to do the same thing.)
Alas, it wasn't meant to be. Drummond is on the outside of the rotation looking in, and I wouldn't be surprised if Plumlee has the upper hand. But now, passing Plumlee still wouldn't be a ticket to playing time.
On the bright side, the Americans should be in enough blowouts that Drummond will see the court anyway.

Directed by Cecil B. DeMille, The Ten Commandments (1956) was a partial remake of his 1923 silent film of the same title, and tells the Biblical, Old Testament story of the Exodus... Moses' struggles with Pharaoh Rameses II and his God-given quest to free the Hebrew slaves from Egypt. The Ten Commandments was a staggering cinematic achievement for it's time, bot in special effects (the plagues, the parting of the Red Sea... ) and set design, and remains one of the most financially successful films ever made. The all-star ensemble cast is great, including Charlton Heston as Moses, Yul Brynner as Pharaoh Rameses II, Anne Baxter as Nefretiri, Edward G. Robinson, Yvonne De Carlo, Vincent Price, John Carradine, Sir Cedric Hardwicke and Woody Strode.

Scale and Age: the oak stump, while over 4 feet in diameter across its wider portion, is a mere 140-150 years old. Compare that to the reclaimed southern yellow pine beam, which as a tree was over 220 years old when felled, and yet only 16" in diameter. Both, in the afterlife, have met their maker, Mucho gusto!
Have you ever looked at a tree, then looked at your coffee table and wondered how that happens?
Starting with the basic properties of wood and continuing on through machine use, joinery and finally the construction of your own piece of furniture, this introductory course will give you a thorough understanding of the principles of woodworking.

Racist Hoekstra video page even includes racist HTML.
Thanks to TPM for a tip to what you see if you examine the HTML code* of the Pete Hoekstra / Fred Davis "we take your jobs" video.
The image of the "Chinese" girl in the video, who speaks American-accented English, is labelled as … well, see for yourself:
Now, in context, they could have been referring to the color of her shirt, as seen in the picture [above]. Perhaps. Although in that case "orange girl" is the term that might occur to most people. (As illustrated by comparison with the actually yellow lettering in front of her.)
Once again, I feel the need to point out that when you're being blatantly racist, you're doing dog-whistle racism wrong.

Testify Lyrics - Aranda
I came to resurrect this body from the ashes of the grave
To walk upon the road less traveled before I lose my faith
I came to testify to the new king before you look away
Just let me testify, I gotta testify Lord
Sometimes the world is so wrong, I can't just stand here but I can't take it, no, I came to testify!
I know that I was wrong, I came to testify!
Our future is unknown, I came to testify!
Love will lead you on, cause I never ever wanna be the fool again cause you got me on my, got me on my knees
I had to beg, I had to crawl to break free of these chains
Now here I stand, I'm a broken man and I don't wanna let it change
I came to testify to the rest of my people said I'm not alone
And if the question still lies just let me testify
Testify! Love will lead you on
Love will lead you, love will lead you on

Cause you got me on my, got me on my knees
Got me on my knees

University of Idaho Art + Design Featured Student Profile: Lina Zhao
Artist Statement
This exhibition of my design work explores the branding of a Chinese tea company named Tea Studio. The intention of the design work is to adapt the brand to the U.S. market through traditional Chinese cultural indicators such as calligraphy and color schemes. The target of the exhibition is to make audiences who are interested in tea and Chinese culture have deeper understanding of the brand and two special tea blends: LONGJING and CLOVERSHRUB.
The simple and clean style I created draws attention to the logo and tea blends while also providing information of teas, the benefits of each blend and activities sponsored by Tea Studio.
The color schemes I used are the typical color features we could see in the traditional Chinese artwork. It creates the connection of tea and traditional Chinese cultures and is strong visually in order to attract attention.

Forward – Harrison Barnes vs Wilson Chandler
Again, Chandler and Iguodala are interchangeable. They both have the size and strength to play the small forward position.
Chandler has taken Danilo Gallinari's spot, and is averaging 20 points and six rebounds over his last five games (four starts). He isn't the shooter Gallinari is, but he's certainly capable of filling in while contributing in different ways.
Don't expect Barnes to play a huge role in the playoffs. Warriors' head coach Mark Jackson tends to play Jarrett Jack over Barnes in crunch time, and it's plausible to think that the crunch time concept is expanded during the playoffs, where everything and every minute counts. Plus, Jack is far more experienced than Barnes, which also could play a part in Jackson's in-game reasoning.
In short, Chandler's contributions will be greater than Barnes' contributions.

Introduction to Computer Information Systems/Database
- 1 Database Definition and Examples
- 2 Data Characteristics
- 3 Classification of Databases
- 4 Database Models
- 5 Databases on the Web

- 7 References
Database Definition and Examples[edit]
A database is a collection of data that is saved and organized to allow easy retrieval when needed. In order to maintain and access the database you will need a DBMS (database management system). This kind of system manages and protects data so that the database is safe and secure. Databases consists of tables that consists of records and fields. Databases are not limited to only computers; in fact, a phone book is an example of a database.[1] All of the names alphabetized and each column has its own category. There is a column for your name, phone number, and possibly a street address. With a relational database, all of the data within the row can be pulled up when you are looking for the specific attribute.[2]
There are a few advantages to using a database management system. On the plus side, it has the ability to control redundancy, the integrity of the information being stored can be maintained, it can restrict access, it can share data, and can backup/recover information. A database management system can counteract redundancy by compiling the information in one spot. The same way that you can't have two audio files with the same name and extension in a single folder, you can't have the same file in a single database. This controls and can increase storage space. The integrity of the information being stored can also be increased based on the specifications of the database developer. This means that the constraints on the information put into the database (which is determined by the developer) will keep the data stored accurate. So if a database is only able to store pictures, for example, then a music file will be rejected ensuring that a picture will always be retrieved from the database with 100% accuracy. This is a very simple example to get the idea across as the constraints imposed by the developer can determine different things. Databases can also share data as well allowing a developer to build multiple applications off of one source of information rather than having to create new stored files. Databases can also backup and recover data. If a computer system fails during a long, complex update then the database can restore the files to the place in the update when it is becomes operational again.[3]
Data Characteristics[edit]
Data is a collection of facts. It can be values, measurements, numbers, words, measurements, and observations. Many businesses would not be as successful without data.[4] A data has a hierarchy; this hierarchy is a systematic organization of data. Fields, records, and files are apart of the data organization. Product names or quantities are the lowest level of the hierarchy, and the database is the highest level of the hierarchy.[5] Also, the data definition consists of the following: name, data type, description, and properties. This describes the properties that go into a database. If a computer user wants to look up all of the data definitions for a database, he or she would look up the data dictionary. A few key terms a computer user should be aware of, concerning data characteristics, consist of data field, record, file, and database. A data field contains a single fact of an entity. A record is a collection of related fields. A file is an organization of related business records. The database is the place where files are integrated. [6]The data characteristic key terms are essential to be aware of for businesses who use a database.
Classification of Databases[edit]
Single-User vs. Multiuser Database Systems[edit]
Single-user database systems are located on one computer and they are designed for one user. They are used for personal use and small businesses. Only one person can use the database at a time, so if one user is using the database the other users must wait until that user is done. The other kind is used for bigger businesses. It is a database that is accessed through a network. It is so more than one person can access and change the data in a system. Most use some kind of lock on the database so that there are no conflicts between people making changes. They can be on one computer or multiple computers. [7]
Client-Server and N-Tier Database Systems[edit]
Most multiuser database systems are client-server database systems. Basically client-server database systems are servers that have resources for other computers. It is when the client part makes a service request from the server, which completes the request. The client is referred to as the front end and the database server is referred to as the back end.[8] Some of the client-server database systems have more than just the front end and the back end but also a middle part called a tier. These are referred to as n-tier database systems. In these databases the client and the database never communicate directly, all data is passed through the middle layer. The advantages of this database system is that the middle tier provides a layer of abstraction, that way you can change parts of the back end without having to modify parts of the front end. It is also a good way to separate responsibilities; they can also be more efficient. [9]
Centralized vs. Distributed Database Systems and Disk-Based vs. In-Memory Database Systems[edit]
Centralized database systems are all located on one computer. This can either be a server or mainframe computer. [10] Distributed database systems share a network and the data is divided between several computers connected to that network. [11] An advantage of a centralized database system is that all information is in one place. The disadvantage may be that a bottleneck might occur. Having all information on one computer can make it easier to some users, but difficult for others who want to access the files. One advantage of distributed database systems is that the database can be accessed using any computer on the network even if all the information is not on one computer. This is the preferred type of system to use for databases, because information can be easily found. It also ensures that all data will not be lost, if using the distributed database system over the centralized system. Because of the recent advances in technology, using the "cloud" is another way to store database information over the Internet for an easy way of storage. This concept goes hand in hand with disk-based and in-memory database systems. Most databases are stored on conventional hard drives in computers today, but recently many are switching to in-memory databases. [12] This can hold all data on the main memory of the computer. This creates faster performances than it would if using the disk-based system.
Database Models[edit]
Relational Database Model[edit]
Relational database management systems are important because they take several related tables and combine them in the least complex way that is possible. Essentially the RDBMS takes these smaller, less compact, tables and finds ways to relate them to one another based on singular variables to avoid repetition as much as possible. When creating such a database there are four main questions to ask: what is the point of this database? what information needs to be included in this database? which variables should be placed in which table to make the end result the least tangled/complicated? and how should this table be formatted? Once all those things are completed, one could use a program such as Microsoft Office's Access[13] to create a query by choosing specific related fields to display and organize. After this, one could use the query to generate a report which is essentially used to import the selected information into a singular database that would be easier to read through and find information from.
Hierarchical and Network Database Models[edit]
The hierarchical model is the oldest database models. It organizes date in a tree-like structure, using parent and child data segments. For example, it begins at the top of the tree with a single root. That stems into a lower level segment, which connects to other subordinate segments after. This is used to model one-to-many relationships. A disadvantage of using this model is that it requires data to be stored repetitively in multiple levels. This causes the database to function very slowly because it can be searching for information in lower levels as well. The network model uses a set structure. A set is comprised of an owner record type, a set name, and a member record type. This type of model shows many-to-many relationships. Parents can have multiple children, and children can have multiple parents. Both of these model types are outdated and no longer used for building new database applications. They are often less flexible than other model types. [14]
Also, all paths for accessing the data must be planned ahead of time and cannot easily be changed. Some places you might still see the hierarchical model might be in large systems that use high-volume transaction processing, like banks or insurance companies.
Object-Oriented Database Models[edit]
Whereas other database models can only store conventional data (such as dates, numbers, and text), the object-oriented database management system (OODBMS) is far more abstract. In an OODBMS, you can store pretty much any kind of data you desire, along with the methods to be used with that data. To retrieve this more complex and varied data, the user sends queries written in object query language(OQL) which is an object-oriented version of SQL. OODBMSs are becoming increasingly prevalent because of the higher demands of computer users today. However, as is the case with any new technology, there is some resistance because of the downsides of OODBMSs. One downside is how editing an OODBMS based application is more time consuming because changes have to be made to the other classes in the application that interact with instances of the parent class, versus an RDBMS system where edits can typically be independent of the parent application.[15] Even with the extra difficulties, many important clients continue to operate using a OODBMS, one big example being Chicago Stock Exchange, which uses the system to manage stock trades.
Databases on the Web[edit]
Web Databases in Use[edit]
There are many ways Web databases can be used. The most obvious way is the retrieval of information. Web databases provide a means for users to access the massive amount of information the Web has to offer, and this is made possible, in one way, by the use of search sites where databases provide links for the user. Other personal uses for databases include the storage of email addresses, telephone numbers, and other information for one who might create a site for friends and family.[16] On the business end, Web databases allow businesses to create "website polls, feedback forms, and client/customer inventory lists."[17] This is a vital function that both large and small businesses can take advantage of to suite their needs. One, specific example relating to business-use of Web databases is the management of e-commerce-related activities. Here databases are used to provide information like pictures and pricing for products as well as order information and other necessary functions to enable efficient and reliable business transactions. Another feature of Web databases is their ability to display dynamic Web pages. These pages display information that changes depending on the input of the user, like a B2C site showing pages related to the interests of the consumer based on his or her past acivities. From personal to business applications, Web databases are a vital part of addressing the tasks associated with Web-related activity.
This is a computer software that provides services to software applications beyond those available from the operating system. It is software that connects two otherwise separate applications, which can resemble "software glue." For example, there are a number of middleware products that link a database system to a Web server. This provides the user to be able to receive data from the data base by using forms that are displayed on a Web browser, and it enables the Web server to return dynamic Web pages based on the user's requests and profile. As stated previously, the term middleware is used to describe separate products that serve as the glue between two applications. It is, therefore, distinct from import and export features that may be built into one of the applications. It is sometimes called plumbing because it connects two sides of an application and passes data between them. Distributed computing system middleware can loosely be divided into two categories. These categories are those who provide human-time services and those that perform in machine-time. This latter middleware is somewhat standardized through the Service Availability Forum and is commonly used in complex, embedded systems within telecom, defense and aerospace industries. [18]
How Web Databases Work[edit]
In our technological world, we use web-based database requests on a daily basis. We are constantly visiting web pages, clicking on links and using the menu to navigate us through our activity on that page. Using middleware, the web server passes a request on to a database query and the information is stored and passed along to the database server. The database server then uses this information to direct the page to where it was intended to go. CGI Script is another way information is passed along. They use instructions via a programming language and accept and return the websites data to the user. Active server pages are yet another example of scripts used commonly on websites. They are very similar to CGI Scripts, yet they are exclusive because they almost always use VBS script or Java script. PHP Hypertext processor is a language that is becoming more and more popular everyday. This script is extremely similar to CGI scripts and active server pages yet are more highly compatible with other programs. The script functions using PHP tags and html codes to get their job done. These scripts are just some examples of what is used today and how information in transmitted on a web server. [19]

Windows 7 64 bit
Web site browsing not working during WiFi file transfer
Hi, while a file is being copied between my laptop (wireless) and desktop (cable to router) most web sites start timing out for me and anyone else on the wireless network. The file transfer happens quick enough, but no one can browse while it's taking place. The router is a 2wire hub from BT. I'm guessing there is a traffic overload on the hub, any ideas what I can tweak to prevent this? A slower file transfer would be preferable if it brings back web sites!

- Always a great experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/29/2014The combination of decor with food adds to the Webster House experience. They recently had a beet bisque on the menu -- a smooth, creamy soup with overtones of apple. Yummy and perfect for fall. It's this type of food that keeps me coming back, especially when I want to treat someone to a really nice lunch.Special Features:
- Awesome!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/27/2014THis visit was a special workplace lunch celebration - great food, service, and atmosphere! Server was especially helpful describing dishes and helping make decisions with particular tastes in mind. Everyone left happy and well satisfied!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 10/26/2014We went for dinner before a performance at The Kauffman Center. They called again that afternoon to make sure that we were coming. Why, yes! We arrived & realized that we were THE ONLY 2 FOR THE ENTIRE NIGHT!! But they were there & open for us. It was, as usual, wonderful! Fabulous service, great food, nice recommendations. We arrived early, shopped & had an outstanding meal. I could not have been more pleased! (The Kansas City Royals were playing in the World Series that night!)Special Features:
- Great food and service!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/24/2014High quality food and service. Would recommend for lunch or dinner.Special Features:
- Very thoughtful wait staffJosmomDined on 10/23/2014When making our reservation, I had noted that we had an event at nearby Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. The hostess called early in the afternoon to encourage us to arrive earlier than planned in order to have time for the full dining experience. We managed to do so and ended up enjoying our meal very much. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very specialprax1mulDined on 10/23/2014My sister, best friend and I were so glad we chose Webster House for my friend's birthday celebration. Everything about our experience there made for a very memorable occasion!Special Features:
- Fried green tomatoescawoleVIPDined on 10/19/2014This appetizer is just wonderful-get it every time. Scallops were delightful, caramel corn dessert very unique and delicious. A favorite restaurant for us.Special Features:
- Green GroupGreenGroupDined on 10/18/2014We were attending a ballet matinee at The Kauffman and wanted a nice place near the Center. The Webster House was perfect because it located just steps away and is a historic piece of KC. The food was great and the atmosphere helped to set a celebratory mood. Because we were limited in the time we could spend there, we were unable to really enjoy the complete facility. We would have liked to walk around and view some of the other rooms, the decorations (etc.) on the first floor, etc. but couldn't at that time. Those who plan to visit--be sure to make a reservation and allow plenty of time to tour as well as eat there. There is FREE PARKING in a lot right across the street.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- YumGrtdngDined on 10/17/2014Excellent food, beautiful restaurant, lovely view, good service, great wine list, helpful waiter, but very noisy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food and ShoppingMaureenDined on 10/17/2014Not only is the food good but also there is one floor filled with wonderful gifts. Love the place.Special Features:
- WaltDined on 10/16/2014Normally an excellent choice, especially when attending an event at Kauffman. This evening however, my wife ordered salmon and found it "salty". This may be more a personal choice and others may have found it to be fine. The kitchen did mix-up my order and sent me the wrong main course but quickly made it right. So all in all the Webster House is still our choice for dining when attending a Kauffman event or anytime for that matter. My wife enjoys arriving a little early so she can browse the store and seems to always find a "must-have". One of downtown KCs best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FoodieDined on 10/12/2014The food this time was not as good as in times past, but the service was excellent. This was the first time we had made a reservation and they took very good care of us. A perfect place to eat before going to the Kauffman Center.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great before or after the KauffmanFoodie4realDined on 10/12/2014Webster House was the perfect place to have brunch before going to a Sunday afternoon performance at the Kauffman. The food and service were great. After brunch, we had plenty of time to wander through the ground floor shops. Will definitely do this again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/12/2014Enjoyed every minute and every morsel of my Sunday brunch experience. The waiter was very helpful and pleasant. We arrived for a 1030 am reservation which was perfect. Not to busy and they made us feel very welcome. The food was very good. Presentation was great, ingredients fresh and tasty. Prices for what we got very reasonable. Plan on returning soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ambiance wonderful/service not sojacksonDined on 10/11/2014I would recommend this place. Definitely get the fried green tomato appetizer. It is a delightful presentation!! The food was wonderful except the kale salad was not tenderized. We specifically asked if the kale salad was tenderized. We were told it was by the table server. The only other recommendation I would give is to the wait staff. Our table staff member was good but she & the under staff were not trained to clean the table at the proper time, nor were they aware to hold the food hot until a table member returned from the wash room. It was left on the table to get cold until that person arrived back. This would be a 5 star recommendation if the wait staff was trained & the table server knew to ask the chef' about the preparation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not good enough to returnThatguyDined on 10/11/2014Figured $30 plates were moderately priced. We ended up spending around $115 for 2 for entree, appetizer and bottle of wine, less tip. Mussels were good but small as we split them. One piece of garlic toast was burnt. We used our "bread plates" for the appetizer since no other substitute was offered, then when bread was brought no additional plates were offered which was kind of awkward. I ran out of wine once and had to pour my own...no big deal but with the moderate pricing service would be expected. Portions were small. My wife had the pasta which read like it would have seafood in it...none that was really visible it was sweet and ok. I got the scallops. They tasted fine, the spinach salad tasted like a bacon with mayo.Special Features:
- Always a great choicethedadDined on 10/11/2014Love to eat here, especially when going to a show. Service is perfect. Food always good and my kids really like it as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentcrowDined on 10/10/2014Perfect for dinner before an evening at the Kauffman Center. The salmon was delectable, definitely will be back especially for that entree!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for business lunchKennethVIPDined on 10/9/2014We enjoyed our lunch and had a quiet corner to discuss business.Special Features:
- Wonderful Sunday BrunchlovesgreatfoodadventuresDined on 10/5/2014We had heard rave reviews from friends who had eaten at The Webster House before us. We were NOT disappointed in the least. Fabulous food in a lovely historical setting. Loved it. The Crème Brulee French Toast was AMAZING!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- gidamVIPDined on 10/5/2014we had b runch before attending the Opera. It probably was the best meal I've ever had at Webster house. We both had the quiche which was very good, accompanied by a refreshing salad with goat cheese. I was so pleased to see a white wine from Oregon that I really like: Sokol BlosserSpecial Features:
- Delightful!TerritDined on 10/5/2014Four of us "girls" went to celebrate a birthday and it was delightful. None of us had been to Webster House before so we didn't know what to expect. We were so happy we chose to go here - and we will be back again! The food was wonderful, the wait staff was very attentive and the atmosphere was great - not too noisy, you didn't have to shout to speak to one another.Special Features:
- Great Anniversary Dinner spotjulcliffDined on 10/4/2014We dined here Saturday night Oct 4. Our whole experience was perfect really. The food was wonderful (my hub had short rib campanelle and I had the scallops...which you get 3 of :-( At least one more would've been nice.) The house salad is very tasty. My husband had the Caesar and liked it a lot. The only setback, at first, is that our female server seemed inexperienced and new at the job, a bit confused about martini offerings and type of Irish whiskey available. Other than that, a perfect night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what it used to be! 😞JnKCVIPDined on 10/4/2014Did they change Chefs? Monthly/weekly? menu selection was not up to par. No soups were offered either. Taste of my entree was bland. Even their house salad/ dressing was not what it used to be. Still loved their ice tea! Sadly, I'm crossing this off one of my fave places to dine before a show downtown.
- LovelyRexgaynorDined on 10/2/2014We went to the Webster house 90 minutes before the curtain for a performance of the symphony at Kaufman Center just in the next block. We had a lovely dinner, unhurried, and made the performance in plenty of time. Dinner felt unrushed even though our server was making sure that we stayed on schedule. Our three dinners were tasty as we sat in the lovely library. We even had time for shopping on our way in and out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great placejoeyDined on 10/1/2014Always go here before a show at the Kaufman next door. Webster House has its own parking lot that is easier to use than the Kaufman lot. Unique atmosphere, best restrooms anywhere. Food is top notch and service is excellent (but at a slow pace). Wonderful place to take out-of-towners as it is unique with the store downstairs (allow time for browsing). Highly recommended.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/1/2014The service was great as always. The venue is outstanding. My vegetarian plate was excellent. My friend's penne pasta dish was mediocre at best. It is the perfect place to dine before an opera performance. We shall return. ksbenitoSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Preopera dinningTheatergoerDined on 10/1/2014We came in for dinner prior to the opera. Many that were there had an identical agenda. Food came out slow and they were not organized with a pre theater menu they could deliver. So dinner was very rushedSpecial Features:
- Very disappointedOutForFoodVIPDined on 9/30/2014I ordered the Tuna Nicoise Salad. I ordered the tuna medium rare and it was served well-done. The tuna was chewy. The salad portion was very small, for a $16 salad. Service was marginal. We were never brought bread, we were never asked how our food was tasting after it was served and our water glasses were never refilled until after we had finished our meals. While I enjoy shopping at the Webster House, our lunch experience on a not so busy weekday was very disappointing.
- A CONTINUING FAVORITEOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/29/2014We are from Kansas City, but are living in Houston. When visiting relatives in KC, a visit to the Webster House - usually for lunch - is always in order. Having just visited Charleston, SC, I immediately picked up on the "low-country" items, e.g., shrimp and grits. A real treat. All food items were great and our server, Caroline, was very knowledgeable and attentive. All dining rooms are charming. We ate at a number of places during our recent 10-day visit, but the Webster House was our favorite! Keep up the excellent work.Special Features:
- NookLoverNookLoverDined on 9/27/2014Great food, but I had not remembered the lunch menu as being as limited as it is; still the selections were adequate. Ambience is good, and did not feel rushed. A beautifully restored building, and décor is wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious food, Excellent serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/25/2014We ate at Webster House on a Friday evening. Our seating was in the "Library" - the cozy and upscale bar. It was a special occasion for me, I was treating my favorite mentor to dinner. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food - Steak, Salmon and Lamb - all cooked to perfection. Be aware - the food is quite decadent so as normally quite healthy eaters we all vowed to stick to oatmeal and veggies the following day. Our server, Brandon, was excellent. We will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- amazing.CherDined on 9/24/2014The service is fantastic. Totally know their menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!danielleinksDined on 9/21/2014This is a wonderful restaurant and you should visit it multiple times so you can try all the amazing menu items!Special Features:
- LovelyLadyfingersDined on 9/21/2014I especially like the ambiance of the Webster House. It's a very nice place to take out of town guests as it's accessible both menu-wise and budget-wise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just wonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 9/21/2014This was our visit and we will be back. The food was incredible, the server was spot-on and we really enjoyed ourselves.Special Features:
- Mixed reviewseasygoingDined on 9/20/2014Five of us had dinner at Webster House. 3 out of 5 dinners were good. 2, which were both the chicken entree were not so good. The fingerling potatoes were not fully cooked (hard). The chicken was okay...just mediocre. There was a private birthday party going on in the room next door to our table, so it was rather noisy until the birthday group sat down for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- VintageVIPDined on 9/17/2014We have dined at Webster House many times and have always had an enjoyable meal. We had a couple from out of town and there were four of us. The meal was excellent as usual but the service was absolutely poor. We were greeted appropriately by a server. She took our order and we never saw her again. I flagged down someone from the wait staff and someone else was finally assigned to our table but even then service was slow. I hope this is unusual and does not become routine. Thanks.Special Features:
- beautiful taste of kansas citydaydatekcDined on 9/16/2014My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. It was an amazing afternoon on a great day for a day date. Thank you Webster House!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful dining experience !bettylou2Dined on 9/13/2014We had a last minute opportunity to have dinner with family visiting from out of town. All 5 of us raved about the food. The steaks were awesome, the salads inventive. We also shared a delicious piece of chocolate cake ! Thanks for a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
