Most gardeners have trouble at some stage with moss on lawns. This is unsightly and is often a result of poor growing conditions. By improving the health of the lawn, moss can be kept at bay.
Algae, lichens and liverworts on lawnsLawns: autumn careLawns: dead patchesLawns: dry patchLawns: spring and summer careLawns: weed controlSlime moulds on lawns
Moss can be a temporary problem following drought or waterlogging, or more persistent, suggesting a problem with underlying conditions. On new lawns this may be due to poor site preparation. On established lawns poor vigour, acidic soil conditions, a lack of feed, insufficient aeration, poor drainage, shade, close mowing and over-use are likely to blame.
Killing and removing the moss is just the start. To remain moss-free, the vigour of the grass must be improved and any other contributory factors addressed. Good autumn lawn maintenance is essential to maintaining lawn health.
If, despite remedial action, moss remains a problem, such as under trees or in a poorly-drained site, consider alternatives to grass. Bear in mind that artificial turf may also suffer from problems with moss and other green growths.
There are several types of moss that grow on lawns. These are usually coarse, loose, green or yellowish-green tufts between the grass, but can form densely matted tufts or, in the case of Polystichum, appear like small forests of miniature Christmas trees.
Moss gives the turf an uneven colour and surface. Loose mosses make the lawn feel spongy to walk on.
Poor growing conditions favour the growth of moss in lawns. These might include:
Scarification: Remove loose moss in autumn, by scarification (vigorous raking). On small lawns this can be done by hand, raking out the moss with a spring-tine rake, but on larger lawns mechanical scarifiers can be hired.
MO Bacter: A non-chemical product called MO Bacter Organic Lawn Fertiliser claims good control of moss, as well as feeding the lawn. The added benefit is that the dead moss should break down in situ, negating the need for scarifying.
For moss control use a proprietary product (e.g. Vitax Green Up Mossfree), such as those based on ferrous sulphate (sulphate of iron) in spring or early autumn. When the moss blackens after two or three weeks use a spring-tine rake to remove it. The dead moss can be added to the compost heap. Although slow to rot in bulk, moss can be composted if well mixed with plenty (four times the volume of the moss) of other ingredients. Moss can be stored and added gradually as other ingredients become available. As moss is very widespread any spores that survive the composting process won't add significantly to the risk of moss forming in the garden. Best practice is to avoid consigning moss to the green waste collection, and disposal by composting, or in extreme cases stacking or burial is recommended.
Mosskillers combined with a fertiliser (nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium, indicated by the abbreviations NPK) (e.g. Scotts Lawn Builder Lawn Food Plus Moss Control, Vitax Green Up Lawn Sand Moss Control or William Sinclair J. Arthur Bower's Autumn Lawn Food & Mosskiller) are beneficial where grass vigour is low.
Apply mosskillers either by hand or with a push-along spreader. Be careful not to apply lawn sand (ferrous sulphate mixed with a carrier) at too high a rate as this can blacken and kill the grass as well as the moss. Apply lawn mosskillers in fine weather. Some require watering after 48 hours if there has been no rain. Check pack for details.
Control with a mosskiller will only be temporary unless the conditions which allowed the moss to become established are improved.
New lawns: Good preparation should ensure moss control is rarely required on a new lawn. However, if the need does arise, double check the manufacturer's recommendations on the pack before applying. Many products should not be applied within the first six months or after a certain number of cuts.
Artificial lawns: Brinton's Patio Magic (containing benzalkonium chloride) will control moss on artificial turf. Keep artificial turf in good condition by regular brushing. Ensure water is not allowed to pool on the surface.
Note on ferrous sulphate: Although ferrous sulphate is widely offered as a fertiliser and soil acidifying agent, unless it is contained within a proprietary lawn mosskiller it is not approved for use as a pesticide and cannot be legally used to control moss. In addition, if it were to be applied as a mosskiller on lawns there is a high risk that it will blacken and potentially kill the grass - a problem seldom encountered with proprietary lawn mosskillers, especially those in pelleted forms, making them easy to apply evenly and accurately.
Weedkillers for gardeners (Adobe Acrobat pdf document outlining weedkillers available to gardeners - see sections 1d and 2a for lawn mosskillers)
Chemicals: using safely and effectively
This is an example of a programme you could follow to get rid of moss, and prevent it coming back.

Spring treatment:
To prevent moss returning, encourage vigorous grass growth by feeding and regular lawn maintenance, paying particular attention to the following:

Positive Experience
Easy Interview
The process took a day - interviewed at Corning Cable Systems in April 2008.
Interview Details Prior military officers were screened at headhunter hiring conferences and brought to Corning Cable Systems in Hickory, NC for followups which lasted one full work day. These interviews were one-on-one round-robin style in the interviewer's offices and lasted about 40 minutes each for about 10 interviews total. After several were hired, we collaborated to figure out how the interview process varied from interviewee to interviewee and how the decision was made to hire us. The conclusions were (a) that CCS was already planning on hiring us and the interview was a formality for us to see if we would still want to work for CCS after being in the office spaces and meeting our potential future bosses *for prior military officers, not sure about anyone else... and (b) the questions were exactly the same for all of us and the interview process was cookie-cutter with a few questions geared by our potential supervisors about what we did in our free time (to make sure we could unwind because of the long hours ahead). The questions asked varied from completely predictable and by the book to one interviewer asking off-the-wall questions to guage the competency of the interviewee with fundamental terms (ie. name tools presented to interviewee, for instance slip-joint pliers, adjustable wrench, needle nose pliers, etc) and to see if interviewee would make answers up to questions they would likely not know the answer to... do not make stuff up during an interview. Overall, the interview was much easier than I expected, and many of the interviewers duplicated the questions of previous interviewers. I would have thought there was little planning to the interview process, but one interviewer explained that certain areas of standardized questions were grouped by skill set or character trait among the interviewers and at the end of the day, the interviewers would meet and brief each other on how the interviewee did in those areas. Bottom line, if you are a junior military officer interviewing for a Field Engineer position, prep hard for your interview but basically you are going to get hired unless you do something to make yourself look stupid (if Corning footed a bill to fly you out to site based on a hiring conference, they are not just going to throw that money out). If you are a college graduate or are transferring from another company, you need to demonstrate to your hiring manager and interviewers that you are a hard worker by nature, are goal-oriented and excited by the prospects at Corning, and are more responsible than the average person your age and experience level because there have been a few cases recently where college graduates turned out to be irresponsible with a poor work ethic and it did not work out for them for very long. Corning is a very diverse company so do not have expectations about who will be interviewing you and Corning Cable Systems is a relatively tight-knit organization, so you will likely have an interview with your departmental vice president and most of the upper level management within the office. One last piece of advice regarding the interview process... ask a lot of questions, I mean A LOT, and you will only have to answer one or two questions per interview because the interviewers really only have one or two questions they have to ask and the rest they just make up -- if you can keep them talking, you interview will be exponentially easier. Good luck.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details – No. My salary is exactly the same as all other junior military officers hired at the same time. It was a set number. We were given this number during the headhunter hiring conference and it's the exact same amount Corning offered (if you have a masters degree, it's also a fixed number to start, slightly higher than a junior military officer with a bachelors only.

This new short form series was inspired by a popular episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse that focuses on Mickey's #1 gal, Minnie Mouse, and her friend Daisy Duck, and is set in Minnie's Bow-Tique (which stocks only bows and bow-ties).
Scheduled for a 2011 premiere, it will be followed soon thereafter by a full-length series that takes place at Minnie's Bow-tique Hotel and follows the comedic happenings as some familiar guests, including the Hippo from Fantasia, check in. On any given day, Minnie acts as hostess, party planner, chef, fashion consultant, riding instructor or tour guide, with Daisy taking on the role of a very chatty front desk clerk. Clarabelle is a cow of all trades, taking on a number of jobs- bellhop, maintenance worker, pool attendant, juice bar attendant and room service waitress- all for which she is completely ill-suited.

Never mind the newborn didn't run up the debt and can't vote for 18 years. Never mind granny and pop paid the highest payroll taxes in our history during their working careers and didn't run up the debt. In fact, from 1945 until Ronald Reagan's voodoo economics kicked in, the national debt dropped every year.
Looks like the newborn and granny and pop are gonna have to get another job in this jobless economy and forfeit the Social Security and Medicare they paid for in advance. Yes, by all means, sock it to the newborns and granny and pop. It is the Republican way.

Kris Humphries to Kim Kardashian: Let's Pop Out Babies!by Hilton Hater at .
In one of the not remotely staged clips airing this Monday on the E!'s Kim's Fairytale Wedding special, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries try to enjoy a casual meal as a couple in this for money love.
But the paparazzi are abundant, making it seriously hard for Kim and Kris to spend quality time with their own cameraman and prompting the NBA power forward to propose a solution:
"Maybe you should just move to Minnesota with me. We could move into my little house on the lake, we could just start popping out babies."
Of course, Kim doesn't react well to this idea because she'd be leaving her family. No, not Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall and Kylie. The guys from OK! Weekly and In Touch who pay most of her bills...

I don't get the mutt comments posted. I mean seriously, who the hell isn't a mixture of different races and cultures? Alot of white slave owners had sex with the black female slaves and made babies. So ummmm before you throw terminology out, get the facts, please.
IMO, her race is caucasion. Armenia is where her dad is from, not a race, a nationality. She is American, born in California. I was born in Italy, and I am black, not Italian. See what I mean?
I'm an great fan of the Kardashian & Jenner clan. you all are real and genuine people. I really love Kourtneys honesty,and I know thats one good reason Leman respects her and treat her as an equal. I did'nt like Kris for saying that "He dose'nt want to be like Bruce or Scott" WHY NOT!!!. Kris is not good enough for such a jewel as Kim. She deserves so much more. It seems to me that the men in Kim's life,(WANTED HER AS A CONQUEST,A TROPHY,TO TAME HER TO THEIR WILL AND PURPOSE). Wait, Kim before you have his babies. I think that he will become abusive. He's already controlling. Look and listen to your head,not your heart,,PLEASE. A LOVING FAN. (ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND YOURS). XXXOOO..........
Nancy F you are a fucking douchebag. Bi racial means mutt.. Even if you are one single race or nationality, you sound like a low class piece of shit. A wild animal has more dignity and probably less disease than your skanky ass does.. Go choke on a dick and rot in hell, Skank.
wow its like 2011 and racism is still going on?? calling ppl mutts cuz there bi racial and stereotyping white people?? yall must be living in hole under a rock because your remarks make you appear ignorant and not very caught up with whats going on in the world today..that racism ish* is really out the window?? lol
Congrats to Kris and Kim I hope it all works out!!

Samantha did an amazing job on my hair, I just left there and my hair hasn't looked or felt this good in a few years :)... she did an amazing job and she is very well trained. She also has amazing "bed side manor" if you will we chatted and exchanged stories like we were old friends and that is always something I really look for when I look for a hair dresser :) I have lived in Austin for almost a year but I can gladly say that I think I have found the person that I am going to trust with my hair in both the near and distant future :)..... If you need a trip to the salon call up Visible Changes and ask for Samantha :)
Samantha was really amazing! She was very sweet and did an amazing job on my hair, I loved it so much! She is a great stylist!
Samantha is amazing. Super friendly and super nice. Real professional. Totally would recommend her to anyone!!!!
FABULOUS HAIRCUT!!!! – I have been searching since moving to Austin, 7 years ago, for a hair stylist that knew how to cut short hair and I HAVE FOUND HER....MARGOT IS THE BEST!!! Showed her a style in a book tonight and she did the style exactly like I wanted.
I literally walked out of the salon feeling like a million bucks.....thanks Margot for being a great stylist!
I love Margot! – Absolutely amazing! I've always liked getting my hair done at Visible Changes because they have always been very professional and have the friendliest staff. When my favorite stylist moved I needed to find a new one and I found Margot! She knows what works for me and always listens to my needs and delivers the exact look I had in mind! She has a great personality and I just love her style! I trust nobody else but Margot for my hair needs!
Cherri (with an "I") – By far my favorite hairstylist! I'm very, VERY picky about how my hair gets cut and who does it. I appreciate a good conversation, but more importantly, an incredibly skilled hand who needs little direction. I know, I'm difficult. The fact that I trust this woman with my hair speaks VOLUMES about her ability. I enjoyed the atmosphere...clean, professional, and very accessible. The fact that my hairstylist is so good just made my visit that much more pleasant.
margot!!! – amazing hairstylist! she did a much better job than one of the supposedly senior hairstylists there. that senior stylist did a half assed job and attempted to add more charges if i wanted my hair flat ironed. margot never did that to me. i didnt mind that she took her time to cut my hair, but boy! she did an amazing job with my difficult hair! not your typical chatty stylist as she is asian and language is a barrier sometimes, but it didnt get in the way of her doing a superb job. it's hard to find a stylist that you feel comfortable with, but i will stay with her.
Margot, my hair-style savior! – Margot is THE best hair stylist I ever worked with. She made me look fabulous on the most important day in my life! One time I stopped by a salon I'd been to (cuz I was in the neighborhood), but the style was unbearable.... I went to Margot for help. Within half an hour or so, she worked her wonder, and I finally was able to look into the mirror and like the girl i saw again! Margot, you're the best!
I was absolutely terrified to get my haircut but Cherri made my visit very comfortable and enjoyable. She not only made my hair look soo much better she was sincerely interested in what I wanted for my hair and she got me there.
Awesome first visit and Great Haircut with Frankie! – Everyone was really nice and friendly. But the best part was having Frankie cut my hair! He evaluated my current haircut and style and knew exactly what to do. I explained what I wanted, he offered his suggestions and he went to work! But he also explained WHY he thought this was the best style for me. I really appreciated the time he took with me and his styling advice!
Thank you, Frankie!!

RICHMOND, Va. (June 19, 2013) – Eleven student-athletes who were among the best in their sports both athletically and academically have been honored by the Colonial Athletic Association as recipients of the CAA Scholar-Athlete Award for the spring sports season.
The conference honors one Scholar-Athlete in each of its 22 championship sports.

Periodontitis is inflammation and infection of the ligaments and bones that support the teeth.
Pyorrhea - gum disease; Inflammation of gums - involving bone
Periodontitis occurs when inflammation or infection of the gums (gingivitis
) is untreated or treatment is delayed. Infection and inflammation spreads from the gums (gingiva) to the ligaments and bone that support the teeth. Loss of support causes the teeth to become loose and eventually fall out. Periodontitis is the primary cause of tooth loss in adults. This disorder is uncommon in childhood but increases during adolescence.
Plaque and tartar build up at the base of the teeth. Inflammation causes a pocket to develop between the gums and the teeth, which fills with plaque and tartar. Soft tissue swelling traps the plaque in the pocket. Continued inflammation leads to damage of the tissues and bone surrounding the tooth. Because plaque contains bacteria, infection is likely and a tooth abscess
may also develop, which increases the rate of bone destruction.
Note: Early symptoms resemble gingivitis.
Examination of the mouth and teeth by the dentist shows soft, swollen, red-purple gums. Deposits of plaque and calculus may be seen at the base of the teeth, with enlarged pockets in the gums. The gums are usually painless or mildly tender, unless a tooth abscess is also present. Teeth may be loose and gums may be receded.
Dental x-rays
reveal the loss of supporting bone and may also show the presence of plaque deposits under the gums.
The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation, remove "pockets" in the gums, and treat any underlying causes of gum disease.
Rough surfaces of teeth or dental appliances should be repaired.
It is important to have the teeth cleaned thoroughly. This may involve use of various tools to loosen and remove plaque and tartar from the teeth. Proper flossing and brushing is always needed, even after professional tooth cleaning, to reduce your risk of gum disease. Your dentist or hygienist will show you how to brush and floss properly. Patients with periodontitis should have professional tooth cleaning more than twice a year.
Surgery may be necessary. Deep pockets in the gums may need to be opened and cleaned. Loose teeth may need to be supported. Your dentist may need to remove a tooth or teeth so that the problem doesn't get worse and spread to nearby teeth.
Some people find the removal of dental plaque from inflamed gums to be uncomfortable. Bleeding and tenderness of the gums should go away within 1 or 2 weeks of treatment. (Healthy gums are pink and firm in appearance.)
You need to follow careful oral hygiene for your entire life or the disorder may return.
Consult your dentist if signs of gum disease are present.
Good oral hygiene is the best means of prevention. This includes thorough tooth brushing and flossing, and regular professional dental cleaning. The prevention and treatment of gingivitis reduces the risk of development of periodontitis.

Have you been offered a new job? First, of all, congratulations! It's not easy to get an offer in this job market. That said, once you have an offer on the table, you may be able to negotiate a better deal.
What's the best way to negotiate a job offer? First of all, don't say "yes" on the spot. Ask for a couple of days to think it over. Then take the time to evaluate the job offer so you are making an informed decision and you're sure you want the job.
Consider the entire job offer including job responsibilities, salary, benefits, perks, hours, company culture, work environment, flexibility, the commute, and the other factors that matter most to you when you think about what you'd like to be doing in your next job.
Make a list of the pros and cons - writing it down can help clarify whether this is the right job for you. If there are some things that you're not happy with on the list consider whether there is room to negotiate. Could you possibly work a day per week from home, for example, or juggle your schedule to accommodate child care drop-off or pick-up?
Here's how to research and negotiate a job offer, plus salary negotiation strategies and tactics, so you can successfully negotiate a compensation package.

Why Fender pulled its IPOJuly 20, 2012: 3:07 PM ET
Guitar manufacturer Fender cancelled its IPO after its stock was deemed overvalued by some investors.
By Omar Akhtar
FORTUNE -- Rock'n'roll preserved a little bit of independence after Fender reversed its plans to go public, citing poor market conditions.
On Friday morning, Fender CEO Larry Thomas said in a statement that "current market conditions and concerns about economic conditions in Europe do not support completing an initial public offering at what we believe to be an appropriate valuation at this time."
The legendary guitar maker, whose iconic Stratocasters and Telecasters have long been associated with rock royalty such as Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, filed for an initial public offering in March. The offer, set at 10.7 million shares at $13 to $15 a share, was expected to raise about $150 million for the company and its biggest shareholder, San Francisco-based private equity firm Weston Presidio.
In its SEC filing, Fender said it planned to use its share of the proceeds – almost $90 million – to pay down a chunk of its $257 million debt. Moody's Investors Service had welcomed the move, rating Fender's IPO plans as "credit positive," in a March report. But a large debt load and a poor industry outlook may have spooked investors, forcing the company to rethink its plans.
MORE: How to save RIM. Really.
Jeffrey Bronchick, the chief investment officer at investment advisory firm Cove Street Capital, says the stock was overvalued. "It is a much more difficult business than what it was being sold as," says Bronchick (who also plays guitar, on a Fender). "It was highly levered, there was a big question mark on growth and it was priced too high, which makes for a fairly toxic combination."
Though Fender remains the largest guitar-maker in the world and an iconic brand name, the market for guitars hasn't been great. The recent recession forced many people to reconsider purchasing luxury items such as electric guitars. The company had $700 million in sales last year, down from $712 million in 2008. About a quarter of Fender's net sales come from Europe, where financial uncertainty has lessened demand.
With the decline of rock music as a popular influence, teenagers interested in making music are more likely to spend their limited cash on computers or other electronics. The traditional garage band, the lifeblood of electric guitar sales, has given way to electro-pop made on a laptop.
Fender's attempt to go public could also be attributed to Weston Presidio's goal of cashing out. The firm was putting up a third of the shares in the offering. Going public would have allowed it to sell some of its stake now, and easily sell the rest in the future. "They can't own it forever, they have to raise equity in the company, sell and get out," says Bronchick.
MORE: Like what you see on TV? Buy it now.
Weston Presidio paid $57.8 million for its stake in Fender back in December 2001. Fender used the money from the sale to help pay the shareholders who had orchestrated Fender's buyout from CBS in 1985. In 2005, Weston Presidio recapitalized the company thanks to a $320 million debt-financing package from Goldman Sachs (GS). Under terms of the deal, Fender had to pay Weston Presidio (along with other shareholders and employees) a total of $215 million in dividends and bonuses.
Fender continued to borrow money, most notably for its $117 million acquisition of competitor Kaman Music. After the deal, Fender's ratings outlook was downgraded by Moody's from "stable" to "negative" in 2007.
Most of Fender's current debt is owed to affiliates of J.P. Morgan (JPM), which was also one of the underwriters for the IPO. The debt has variable interest rates and comes with restrictions on Fender's spending ability, which means no dividends and slower growth.
Fender's debt problem consists not only of what it owes but what it is owed. The company is currently owed $11 million by its biggest customer, musical instruments retailer Guitar Center. Fender's fortunes are intrinsically linked to Guitar Center. The retailer accounts for nearly a sixth of Fender's annual sales, and Fender CEO Larry Thomas had previously held the same position at Guitar Center. Thomas was responsible for taking Guitar Center public and then selling it to Bain Capital in 2007. Until the sale, Guitar Center was also partially owned by Weston Presidio.
MORE: Why the bright spot in housing won't save the economy
Guitar Center has been losing money every year since, making it a nightmare investment for Bain Capital. Moody's rated it a lowly Caa2 (defined as "poor standing and subject to very high credit risk") in November 2010. In its report, the ratings firm stated that "the company's capital structure is unsustainable over the medium term at current levels of operating performance, and hence the probability of a default has increased."
The agency affirmed the rating in February this year and as of March, the principal balance on Guitar Center's outstanding long-term debt was $1.57 billion.
Corporate ownership was also a prickly subject for Fender fans. The 20 years it was owned by CBS—from 1965 to 1985—were regarded as the guitar-maker's worst period in terms of the quality of its product. Customers decried the cost-cutting measures that led to sub-standard production.
"The management at CBS handled Fender very poorly," says vintage guitar expert and guitar storeowner George Gruhn. "Quality control was down, executives who had no knowledge of the industry screwed up the product and musicians were very unhappy."
Some Fender purists may be thrilled that the company shelved its IPO. "I say scoop up as many Fenders as you can now, regardless of year and country of construction, because after the IPO, they are never going to match that quality again," said one commenter on an online Fender forum.

It's been four months since endearingly cantankerous CBS personality , leaving behind a legacy that includes more than three decades of keen observations, incisive commentary and hoots of laughter for millions of dedicated "" viewers.
Starting today, fans of the longtime Rowayton resident's trademark segment that bookended the news program can get a sense the private life that fueled the journalist's work in an estate sale that runs through Monday.
According to Brewster Jackson, a former managing editor and news executive whose wife owns Elizabeth Jackson Estate Sales, the Norwalk company that's operating the estate sale, interest is "huge."
"I think that Rooney struck a chord in people's lives that began with laughter and humor and ended up with an understanding through laughter and humor of what being human was all about, its foibles and shortcomings," said Jackson, a former vice president at United Press International and Reuters who also worked as managing editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "And Rooney obviously was able to express things by virtue of using humor in ways that didn't offend people but certainly struck a chord in their relevance to everyday issues."
The estate sale runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Monday. Directions here. Elizabeth Jackson Estate Sales' website describes the Victorian home of the Rooney family for 60 years as "chock full of Americana, modern art and memorabilia from Andy Rooney's incredible career in

journalism and television." Items listed include Rooney's desk chair, World War II memorabilia, prints from Adrian Calder and others, a circa 1930 Tiffany sterling coffeepot, early 19th century cast iron cookie molds, an old New York Giants program and Super Bowl souvenirs.
Rooney died Nov. 4 at age 92 from complications following minor surgery. He launched his "60 Minutes" commentaries in 1978, railing about how unpleasant air travel had become.
"Let's make a statement to the airlines just to get their attention. We'll pick a week next year and we'll all agree not to go anywhere for seven days," he told viewers.
Here's what Jeff Fager of New Canaan, chairman of CBS News and the executive producer of "60 Minutes," told Patch after Rooney's passing: "It's a sad day at '60 Minutes' and for everybody here at CBS News. It's hard to imagine not having Andy around. He loved his life and he lived it on his own terms. We will miss him very much."
Asked whether the estate offers a glimpse into Rooney's life beyond what viewers saw on TV, Jackson replied said that he left behind evidence of prolific writing, including "his correspondence with cohorts, collections of books and the types of things he read."
"The text he highlighted in books," Jackson said. "What his interests were, how he worked, how he revered certain types of typewriters such as Underwood. How he had a love of wood. He collected very exotic woods and made very fine wood bowls and furniture out of these woods, so he was very skilled with his hands. And he loved humor. He has many books on humor—many books on man's approach to life through humor."

St. Paul >Food & Dining > Downtowner Woodfire Grill
253 Seventh St W, St Paul, MN | Directions 5510244.942875 -93.105001
Mon-Thurs 7:00 am - 10:30 pm Fri-Sat 7:00 am - 11:00 pm Sunday 8:00 am - 10:00 pm
Neighborhoods: West Seventh
Had lunch today I have to say the food was terrible everyone of us had a complaint. The place is beautiful but our chairs were broke in to say the least the server was terrible thank god for water because my family would of died of thirst. I just cant believe with the food alone they can stay open.
Excellent Breakfast spot! – Made reservations to sit at a table by the fire and when we got there we had a perfectly set table directly in front of the fire. The service was excellent, we told our server it was our sisters birthday and he put a candle in her omlet, cute. Also, brought her a muffin sundae after our meals. All of the food was delish and perfectly cooked. Everything about it was wonderful and we all agreed we'd be back.
The french toast & Mo's cajun breakfast was the best!
a disappointing anniversary!!! – My husband and I went out for what we thought would be a nice get-a-way from the kids, but most importantly, our 18 yr anniversary dinner. It was a Monday evening, so of course the place was empty. I was asked where I would like to sit at this empty restaurant, and when I pointed to the nice table I wanted, I was told by our host, "oh no, this is reserved." Of course no one was seated there the entire time as we didn't even get there till 8pm (on a Monday). I ordered my pork chops to please, please, be on the medium to rare side. I made this crystal clear which I did not think would be a problem since we were almost the only table in the house. Well surprise, my pork chops came out well done. Seriously, to the point of gritty. I told the server at my husband's insistence, and she whipped them away to have them be replaced literally, 3 minutes later, (as my husband guility ate his food) by bloody raw meat that was barely cooked on the outside, much less the inside. Mind you, the place was EMPTY. The second time I sent them back was met by eye rolling. When they came back the third time and my husband completely done eating, they were good, but I was sick with what a sad dinner the whole thing was. We changed from a happy, celebrating couple, to when the bill arrived, jaw-droppingly disapointed. I was honestly not surprised to see the entire meal was billed in full. Wow. We even told them it was our special day. No desert was offered, no compensation. My husband actually had to demand to be compensated for my pork chops. Saying it was a disappointment on a dead night is putting this mildly. I won't be back, hello.
Everything great except service – We had a large party. The server forgot to bring my wine while all others were served. I waited for 1/2 hour. Server did not tell me I had no salad with salmon nor did she offer me to order one for an extra charge. After the meal, all at the table were asked for dessert. Three at my end were not offered dessert or after dinner drink or coffee.
I /we were ignored and the 10% tip reflected this. I hear jazz is being discontinued and that is too bad because I loved the jazz.
THE place in downtown St. Paul! – We love eating at Mo's Downtowner Woodfire Cafe! The atmosphere is a blend of woodsy lodge and sophisticated urban restaurant, with a very relaxing, aromatic wood smoke smell. Hardly a restaurant around has this kind of friendly, professional service, and the food is almost always top notch! Mo's cajun breakfast is my personal favorite!
Valentines Day to Remember – My fiancee took me to the Downtowner to celebrate a romantic Valantines Day and I was so pleased! I have to let others know. The atmosphere is incredibly romantic with dim lighting and a big roaring fire, the fountain on the wall.. it all just felt so warm and intimate. Hard to do on a freezing February night.
The staff were great and acknowleged the special occaision and gave us a great seat near the fire, We started with a good bottle of red and tried the Chef's special for the night, I had the scallops and my honey had prime rib that melted in your mouth, The salad was really beautiful with deep red orange pieces that looked like hearts and the chocolate desert was heaven,
I think we will plan to come back to the Downtowner every Valentines Day!
Special thanks to our server who advised us on the wine list. She was right, it was perfect!
Disappointed Birthday Boy – My wife took me to the Woodfire for my birthday, as we had heard good things about the restaurant. We were both very disappointed. The New York Strip I had was tasteless, and my wife's shrimp was overcooked. The salads, bread, and atmosphere were excellent, but overall the experience was not worth the cost.
Hope to hear the food has improved, or they have a new chef!!!
Great atmosphere and food, affordable, excellent service – We made reservations for NYE after the Wild game. We were a little underdressed - in jeans - for their establishment, but they accomodated us nonetheless. Luckily, we weren't the only ones who came right after the game in our game attire. : ) The restaurant itself is gorgeous - beautiful craftsmanship and architecture within, white tablecloths - very rich-looking. We were seated in a back room that appeared to be for small groups (4 or less) who had made reservations for the evening. If I had one complaint - one tiny complaint at all - it would be that the tables were a little too close together in our area. Rather that witty banter between the two of us, we became devoured by our neighboring table's conversation (which was rather entertaining, so I can't really complain TOO much). My SO had the T-bone steak with mashed potatoes, I had the fettucine alfredo primavera with shrimp. The steak, for one, was cooked to perfection and the woodfire flavor was amazing. The fettucine was also fantastic - excellent sauce and the shrimp were BIG. The portions were perfect - not to much, not to little. We each had a glass of Vigonier and shared the chocolate lava cake (their special for the evening). We were shocked when the bill came and it was only $90! We've spent more $$ DT Mpls on food I could consider sub-par to the Downtowner. The service was also wonderful - our waitress was obviously very busy, but she somehow remained very attentive! Overall, I would definitely recommend this establishment! Wonderful little gem on W 7th in St. Paul - who knew!
The only star here was the flat bread... – Subpar mussels, the broth was flavorless and the mussels weren't cooked properly. One look at the pasta and I knew it was extremely poor. The sauce was cheese-colored water, tasteless and soupy. I sent it back immediately and got a pizza, that came made with such low-quality ingredients - bad meat, bar-grade mozzarella - it was unbelievable. Completely overpriced, with apparently exorbitant prices for bad food. My friend's chicken breast was decent, wood-cooked and juicy, and the service was great, but it's just a den of bland Midwestern food.
Disappointing Service; average food – There were four of us for an early dinner on a moderately busy Sunday evening (there were numerous empty tables). The prices generally were what can be expected from the location and style of eatery, but the food overall was average. Two of our party ordered pizzas, which were pretty good. Two others ordered Persian fire-roasted items (chicken and hen), which were ok, but nothing special for the price. I?ve certainly had much better kabob-style entrees elsewhere (Holy Land, Jerusalem?s, Mediterranean Cruise Cafe, etc). But the biggest disappointment was the service, which was some of the poorest we?ve ever experienced. Our waiter barely made eye contact most of the evening. During his rare inquiries into our well-being, he was literally turning around to go elsewhere as he finished his question. When presenting my friend with our wine, he poured her glass and stared at her for about two seconds, before he asked in a rude manner ?Well are you going to try it?? ? very embarrassing for her. Our water glasses were never refilled during our nearly two hours there. Our check took an abnormally long time ? the table next to us had come in after us, eaten after us, yet got their check and were able to leave a good 10 minutes before us. Our waiter wasn?t even subtly rude, I would say he very nearly ?snubbed? us altogether. Normally, our tip is well over 20% - I can remember only once in the past few years where we left less than 20%, but his service earned him a paltry 10% - a sum he hardly deserved. I speculate that this service is the exception rather than the rule at this establishment, but I know I won?t be testing this theory again any time soon.
