Obama Nixes National Prayer Day Event
Instead, Obama will recognize the day with a paper proclamation, which is what presidents did routinely before Bush.
The scale-back has disappointed some Christian conservatives who want the celebration to be larger. Atheists are also pissed (aren't they always?) because they want the tradition to be done away with altogether. For his part, Obama just wants Friday to come already. Is this week still going?

This is one time I agree with Obama. He isn't getting rid of it, he is just addressing it the way he wants. No problem with that. Don't atheists get it? They can pray and be thankful that they can believe however they want. I don't know any atheists, don't they thank anybody for anything? They don't have to feel there is a higher being to pray. Or if they don't want to pray, don't! I'm sure there are Christains and Muslims that won't pray tomorrow. Not everybody celebrates special days. That's what is good about this country, you can do what you want. Make sure you value that! Because unfortunately our rights are slowly disappearing. Be careful on how and who you vote for. Don't follow party lines, follow what's right.

this atheist gets it just fine. do you get it ? if you want to pray, fine. exactly who is it i am supposed to pray to ? the fictional character you call god ? i gavr up fairy tales as a child. government has no business getting mixed up with religion, read out constitution sometime and you'd realize that. but, by all means pray all you want to, i don't care.

Hi all. The existence of Jesus gives you 3 rational choices. He was crazy, He was a pathological lair, He was the son of God, which he said. Make that decision. Somehow, in your being, it is hard to believe the first two, was for me years ago. For the fact/science minded, remember, prior to pictures, video and recordings, you cannot prove something happened in the past. Some of the same on this blog believe in aliens, now that is a "crazy" notion too right? Not saying there aren't.
Faith is the beginning of a personal knowledge there is a God. I certainly cannot be convinced now we are here by chance and Jesus is not comforting me and many I know. No...I have not met or seen God. He speaks though. Have not seen or heard Sebastian Bach either, but his notes remain. I trust he existed, with a little faith.

I've never been able to understand why "prayer' is such a hot topic for debate. No one is "forcing" anyone to believe a particular way. The purpose of an education is to learn about a variety of things, NOT to agree with them. Just because I believe in God and pray doesn't mean that others have to do the same. It doesn't bother me at all if the person sitting next to me doesn't believe in God. I hated certain subjects in school, but I took them and feel it broadened my knowledge as a result. So, why are some people so afraid of learning about other religions and prayer? There's a BIG difference in learning about something and being forced to believe in it. You couldn't force someone to pray or believe a certain way (even if you tried), so what's the big deal here? While at a sporting event or in school, let's have prayer and those who wish to participate can. Those who don't want it, can just sit quietly out of respect for those who do. Problem solved!

Very well said. Let's try not to cause a stink about nothing. Again, he's not doing away with it, just scaling back to the way it was in the past. Some people just can not have a complete day without complaining about something.

Hey Steve, the problem is that you DO care...or I should say people like you that condemn the MAJORITY of us that WANT to keep prayers in our constitution and our schools. I am actually SICK of you and people like you bitching everytime anything spiritual offends you. You know what? IGNORE IT!! If you don't like it, we are not putting a gun in your mouth and making you do it, so stop trying to take OUR God-given right away.

Spot on: to the Athiest, I have obviously read the constitution more than you. You do not read it the way it was written but thru revisionist "Humanist" lenses that are so twisted you will never understand that passing a law against religion or for a State religion are banned, not religions themselves. In facr banning of anything religious is a violation.

No, us atheists do not thank anybody for anything, at least not a higher being anyway. You said, "They don't have to feel there is a higher being to pray." So.....if we don't believe in a higher being, then what the hell would we pray to?

Hey Steve and all atheists, I have read the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Ammendments, and guess what? THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WAS FOUNDED UNDER GOD ! So, I suggest you all go read them again.

People who are telling the atheists to stop complaining are missing the point. You suggest that they should keep their mouths shut and respect the religious freedom guaranteed to you in the Constitution.
What you don't realize is that the Constitution does not directly guarantee freedom of religion. It says that the government is not allowed act in a way that favors or infringes upon religion (either religion in general or a specific religion). The natural extension of this is that we have freedom of religion, but this freedom is the direct result of the government being religiously neutral.
That being said, by proclaiming a national day of prayer, the government is acting in a way that favors having a religion (though no specific one) over not having a religion, and losing their religious neutrality. So you tell atheists to just get over it and let you have your day. Why don't you get over it and let (no, not let, DEMAND) the government stay out of religious matters? You can still have your day without government support. Nobody is stopping you.

HARVARD.....you forgot the respected prophet of god born of the virgin marry no matter if you see him as the son or a prophet!! And its been found that he never said he was the son of god but a speach he made was interpreted as such!! so the christians that say "our father thou are in heaven" are claiming that god is thei rfather too? man that must mean to them god got busy with every woman in the world and that all men are god? By the way I am muslim and i believe in one god without partners and many prophets!!

I think they should just do away with the whole prayer thing altogether. I mean, come on! Politicians and prayer go together like drinking and driving, they reall don't mix. They bow their heads or have a moment of silence, but I doubt that it's really in prayer rather than just going through the motions then onto the business at hand.

The existence of our constitution allows us to pray and allows those who don't not to. Back in Jeffersons day, before churches were built the different religions were all allowed to use town halls for praying as long as none were excluded. So lets pray for our country and it's leaders, that they will follow the constitution keep our liberty and freedom for all even the athiests. God bless you.

I think it was very out of place to say that atheists are always "pissed." I have met many happy atheists, and include myself among their ranks. While I am not happy that our country insists on blurring he line between church and state, I think that what Obama did is a great step forward from the Bush days, and I respect him for that. I am very thankful that he is making an effort to respect people of all faiths or the lack thereof.
Still, I wish that our country didn't do so much to institutionalize religion, especially Christianity. Many laws, like those banning gay marriage or requiring intelligent design to be taught in schools, are passed simply due to the Christian right's wish to impose their religious views on everybody else. I respect their right to have those opinions, but they have no right to make laws that force me to follow their religious beliefs.
To the person who commented above me, I would say this. Do you really need a national day of prayer to pray? There are plenty of Christians and Muslims who will be praying on every other day. Why is a national day of prayer even necessary? All it does is make those who do not pray feel like they are not being respected. So, rather than have a government sanctioned national day of prayer, why can't all the different denominations get together and organize it themselves? Prayer is a religious action, so any day of prayer should be organized by religion.
And yes, we are thankful for lots of things. I for one am thankful to my parents for raising me, my friends for supporting me, my professors for instructing me, and my peers for challenging me. I am thankful that Obama scaled down the event, but just because things have gotten better does not mean that they cannot continue to improve. I am thankful for what has been done, but I still look for ways to make it better still. That is the only way we can progress.
I have lots of respect for religious people and their right to worship, and because of that I think that our government should remain impartial, neither encouraging nor discouraging theists or atheists. Both sides are perfectly capable of speaking for themselves and organizing their own events. If religious people want a day of prayer, then by all means they should have one. Butleave the federal government out of it. I think they have better things to be worrying about right now.

I lead worship in our church and I was a youth pastor so I am a very religious person. Now as I dont agree with only doing away with the theory of Creationism in schools (As it is just another thoery on how this all came to be which has as much evidence to back it up as say the big bang and evolution) I also have to whole-heartedly agree with you on the subject of a national prayer day. I dont understand why so many religious people are having such a problem with what Obama did... Why cant all religions still keep this a national day of prayer... and for that matter my bible says to pray without ceasing so why do religions need a day to do this? Its just another reason for conservatives to be mad at Obama. I know lets have a day in honor of President Bush that conservatives can celebrate we can call it National start a war to impress your dad day... or boot in your ass day or something like that

There is LOTS of stumpwork in this book and it is an excellent resource for anyone interested in seventeeenth century embroidery. There is a panel with the story of Esther and Ahasuerus dated to 1652, but it seems to be more of a tent-stitched piece than stumpwork. It is nearly identical to another piece at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, according to the caption. Another panel, also apparently tent-stitched, depicts Esther kneeling before Ahasuerus. The date "1648" is embroidered in seed pearls.

Chances are, most of our readers are too young to remember the 1937 Ohio River flood, but the catastrophic rains that began on a late-January Sunday 75 years ago remain an indelible part of the area's cultural memory. On a relatively dry Thursday, January 26, however, historian Robert Reid will discuss the flood and its effects at the University of Louisville.
Reid, a retired University of Southern Indiana history professor, will discuss "Twentieth Century's Katrina: The Great Flood of 1937" at 6:00 p.m. in Room W104 of Ekstrom Library on the Belknap campus. The presentation is part of the opening reception for the UofL Photographic Archives' exhibit commemorating the flood. For the exhibit, Photographic Archives unearths (dries out?) images from its extensive collection of photos from the event, including aerial photos taken by the Indiana Air National Guard as well as photos taken by renowned photographer Margaret Bourke-White for Life magazine.
The talk and reception—which will take place from 5:00 to 7:00—are free and open to the public. The exhibit runs weekdays through March 9. For more information, call 852-6752.

On the last Saturday in June, eighteen-year-old Timothy Kemp was headed home after a visit to Six Flags Elitch Gardens. It was Gay Pride weekend, and the bus he usually caught at 16th and Broadway had been rerouted to Colfax and Logan. That shady corner was hopping at 11 p.m., when Kemp joined a crowd of would-be passengers, drug dealers, junkies and prostitutes.
Kemp leaned against the wall of a liquor store, keeping to himself. He'd spotted ten Crips around the corner. One, who knew Kemp from the basketball court, stepped up and asked him to turn his hat around. Kemp was wearing a cap on which he'd branded the initials "CK" -- C for Crip, K for Killer. Crip Killer.
Kemp obliged.
As the bus pulled up, Ronnelle Murrell put his beer on the sidewalk and started spitting Crip-speak. "Hey, cuz," he said. "Take off your hat. What's up with the CK?"
"Fuck you. It's all about the CK," Kemp replied, according to police reports.
Twenty-six-year-old Murrell was four inches taller and more than a hundred pounds heavier than Kemp; he'd run the streets a lot longer. But Kemp was still willing to take him on, he says -- until he thought he saw Murrell reach for a piece.
In Kemp's pants was the .22-caliber pistol he packed for situations like this. "All I was thinking when he reached is, it's him or me," Kemp remembers. "If he wanted to fight me, he would've swung."
The first shotKemp fired hit Murrell high in the back. The second stuck in the wall of the liquor store. Murrell stumbled into the store, asking for an ambulance. Kemp took off northbound on Logan, holding his pants up with one hand as he hustled along the bushes on the west side of the church.
Timothy Kemp had shot someone before: his younger sister, then a fifteen-year-old track star. She and a friend were painting their fingernails in her bedroom. Kemp, who'd been drinking Hennessey, was sitting by the bed, playing with his 9-millimeter handgun. It went off and hit his sister in the calf.
The girls tried to stay calm and called a friend for a ride to the hospital. Kemp punched a hole through the wall, then put the 9mm on a table by his sister. "Shoot me," he said. "It's an eye for an eye."
But she didn't want revenge -- just a doctor.
Kemp wound up with two years' probation for that shooting. Before then, his life had been school, work and family, since he had to be the man of the house. But now the pressure got to be too much to bear, he says, and he quit the Life Skills Center, where he'd been going to school. His mother began searching his room regularly, so he kept his weapons away from the house. He'd worn red before, but he started wearing a lot more. A red bandanna hung like a flag in his bedroom; someone hung a burned red bandanna on the door of their Aurora apartment.
Earlier this year, a few months after the shooting, Kemp had a run-in with police; he calls it "harassment."
The family had lived in Park Hill from 1997 through 1999; this past summer, Kemp tattooed "Park" on the underside of his right forearm and "Hill" on the underside of his left, to represent his hood. The tats were Blood red.
Murrell wasn't an angel, either. His father was a thief who "would steal the blink off your eye," according to his mother, Damita Murrell. By the time Murrell was twelve, Damita was dating a drug dealer. When Murrell asked him for $20, the man handed him a sack of crack rocks instead.
"Don't be begging me for money; extend your hustle," he told the youngster. Murrell's mother never had to buy her son clothes, shoes or anything else ever again.
Murrell was a talented artist, but he dropped out of art school because his friends said it was sissy shit. He got jumped into a Crip set and learned how to dish out an ass- whupping and how to take one. Although there was a falling-out in his set, he continued to represent Crips. When he was fifteen, he accidentally shot himself with a Saturday-night special he'd picked up from a friend. A few years later, he went into a room with a girl and came out with a bullet in his shoulder. He said he'd shot himself again; his mother thinks he may have taken a fall for the girl.
He was shot at several other times but never hit. "I was dodging bullets like the Matrix," he once told his mother after one episode. "The Lord ain't ready for me yet."
Murrell making it to eighteen was a big deal for his mother. Then 21, then 25. Every birthday was like he'd beaten some fatal disease. And in a way, he had: Street life was deadly. Murrell was still dealing drugs, although his mother said he had a conscience that wouldn't allow him to sell to people who looked like they needed to get off the pipe, or if he knew they had kids to feed.

I´m sick of hearing about crumbling infrastructure when transportation taxes, fees, etc. pour into the goobermint coffers by hundreds of billions. The problem is that it all goes into the general fund to be used elsewhere and crumbing infrastructure only gets a miniscule portion back. The demonrats only want more taxes flooding into the general fund. That´s the ultimate prize.

I did read the article and the author missed the greatest flaw of all, the foundation. Our founders gifted us a government that is selected by we the people and divided into 3 coequal branches with massive checks and balances.We have allowed them to create second government of bureaucrats that are accountable to noone. They have created techniques by which special interest groups sue the bureaucracy to write new rules which have replaced laws as the single greatest restraint on our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.We need to tear down the bureaucracy which is built on air (Constitutional perspective) and leave every single rule subordinate to laws written by Congress and signed by the President.

November 27, 2014
Cameron Clark scored 31 points and hit two decisive free throws with 9.7 seconds left and Oklahoma held on to beat Texas-Arlington 91-89 on Tuesday night, the Sooners' sixth straight win.
Buddy Hield added 19 points for Oklahoma (10-1), which was prepping for a showdown with former Big 12 Conference rival Texas A&M on Saturday in Houston in the Big 12-SEC Challenge.
The Sooners have never lost to Texas-Arlington (4-7) in seven meetings but they came close, never really asserting control over the Sun Belt Conference opponent. Brandon Edwards' potential tying 18-foot jumper at the buzzer rimmed out for the Mavericks, who tied season highs for 3-pointers (13) and 3-point attempts (33).
Reger Dowell, who spent three seasons at Oklahoma State before transferring to Texas-Arlington, scored 30 points for the Mavericks. Dowell entered the game with a 22.2-point scoring average, ranking him 13th in NCAA Division I.

3 Items Found
- Terredora Di Paolo Aglianico d'Irpinia 2011 Product #28086 (In Stock)
Aglianico can be tough and need years of cellar time - but not here! Made all in tank from ripe fruit, it's bursting with crisp cherry and dried strawberry fruit with accents of damp earth and cracked black pepper. Bright and juicy from first to last, it finishes with just a dusting of fine, ripe, tannin. A great wine for lighter foods off the grill or with a a big plate of antipasti!
- Cantine del Notaio L'Atto Aglianico Del Vulture 2012 Product #28609 (In Stock)
As Wine Advocate said, "Cantine del Notaio is one of the leading estates in Basilicata. Consulting oenologist Luigi Moio shapes wines of extraordinary elegance and finesse." If this doesn't convince you to love Aglianico, then we give up. It's a wonderfully ripe, velvety, mouthful of red cherries and raspberry with plenty of tangy Aglianico character and a firm, powerful, finish. Try it with grilled lamb or any dish with olives or roasted peppers.
- Pietracupa Taurasi 2007 Product #28057 (In Stock)
Perhaps the best Aglianico we've ever tasted. Big aromas of dusky cherry, green olive, fresh earth and crushed herb lead to a mouthful of rich but pure cherry, raspberry, olive and tobacco flavors. Drives to the back of your palate in style with fantastically sophisticated tannins for a wine like this. On the finish, juicy fruit pops back up under the tannin and lingers on and on. A beautiful wine, but very little available.

Here are some simple ideas to throw together last-minute accessories for the 4th of July with tools and materials you may already have around the house.
And some things, like this star headband, would be cute worn anytime of the year! It doesn't get much simpler. Freehand-cut stars from white leather (maybe an old tote you had laying around). Fiskars' Amplify® Mixed Media Shears make cutting leather and other thick materials easy. Hot glue three to five stars onto an elastic headband and you are patriotic-ready.
Another easy way to add patriotic fun is by adding stars to your nails. It is such a simple way to get a custom look without requiring much skill.
Punch small stars from painter's tape using the Fiskars Star Hand Punch. Press the tape onto wax paper before punching so that you don't have a problem with the adhesive gunking up the punch. The tape will peel off of the wax paper easily. Attach these mini star templates to your dried blue nails and paint over the starts with white nail polish. Slowly remove the tape before the polish dries.
You can also add a little star power to some ribbons for bows just as easily as you added stars to your nails.
Punch a row of stars from painter's tape, first adhering it to wax paper for punching as described above.
Place the row of tape stars aligned with the center of a piece of ribbon. Using a foam brush, paint white fabric or acrylic paint through each star template, and then remove the tape before the paint dries.
Then it is as easy as gathering a collection of ribbons and tying them onto a ponytail holder. These ideas would work as well with the heart hand punch on Valentine's Day.

By Ira Briggs
Everyone referred to Jim Reed as Uncle Jimmy. Uncle Jimmy was married but had no children of his own; he's the uncle a person never had. He weighed in at 251 pounds, just a shade over an eighth of a ton, wore size 13 triple-E L.L. Bean boots and carried an Iroquois Indian-shaped skull on top of his shoulders. New York's change of climate was irrelevant to Uncle Jimmy's choice of wardrobe; his ever-present black and green plaid Malone wool pants were accented by a flannel shirt year round.
Uncle Jimmy's hands were huge, each finger the diameter of a quarter. In a feat of strength, he would fold a plastic six-pack ring into one ring of six. One by one, he'd place three fingers from each hand into each side of the ring, raise his massive arms behind his head and effortlessly rip the rings apart. His enormous stature and his love for telling tales of hunting, fishing and local folklore made him an instant hit with the children.
The neighboring children of Purcell Road in Hemlock especially enjoyed Uncle Jimmy's tale of the beautiful Indian maiden Onnolee, the young bride of the peaceful Munsee tribe Indian Chief. The Munsee tribe had inhabited Hemlock Lake's Bald Hill to the east. According to Munsee legend, their ancestors killed an enormous snake. It rolled down the hill, leveling all the trees in its path.
The surrounding country was occupied by the evil Mengwees tribe. In the still of the night, the Mengwees attacked the peaceful Munsees and massacred the entire tribe, except for Onnolee who was taken by the Mengwees' chief for his prize.
On the return trip to their village, the evil chief and his captive stopped to rest on that moonlit night. Onnolee drew the knife from the sheath of the chief's belt and plunged it into his heart, killing him and avenging the deaths of her beloved tribe and the chief she had loved.
At this point in the story, Uncle Jimmy would grab one of the children and re-enact the plunging of the knife into the chest of the evil chief. Clenching the fictitious knife in his hand, he would thump the chest of the child with the bottom of his clenched fist. The children would crowd in front of each other in hopes of becoming the next victim, each one screaming in delight as they took turns being killed.
Uncle Jimmy would then resume his tale.
The Indian maiden fled on foot in the night, dodging the many arrows of the Mengwees tribe. Realizing that there was no escape, she climbed to the top of Echo Rock, looked to the heavens, then dove in to the black mystic water below, never to be seen again. To this day, her body in spirit can be seen on moonlit nights floating above Echo Rock of Hemlock Lake.
At the conclusion of the story, the children would join in with Uncle Jimmy and sing the song of Onnolee, the beautiful Indian maiden:
Oh, Death in whizzing arrows, around her form they passed,
She ran through her beloved woods, on moccasined feet fast,
On hill and forest looked her last, a low, mournful hymn she sang,
One glance upon the water cast, from Echo Rock she sprang.
Drawing of Onnolee by J. Briggsy

Send questions and comments to email@example.com and follow me on Twitter!Question: I watched the first episode of Smash this week and I enjoyed it. I like the cast, the music and the dancing, and the overall "Broadway" feel of the show. I just can't find myself going along with what is apparently the central idea of the show, which is that Katharine McPhee would make a better Marilyn than Megan Hilty. Really?

- Highly recommendEddyDined on 11/26/2014The whole experience at Zees Grill was great. There were 6 in our party and everyone was still raving about their meals the next day. Our server was fantastic and took the time to explain each dish and make suggestions. The lobster poutine is offered as a main but our server suggested we order a couple to share.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- better than we expected!nightoutDined on 11/22/2014We had Joe as our server and would suggest everyone request him! The food was incredible and presented beautifully. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was considering there were two large tables of diners. Great job to the designer! I would go back in a heartbeat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/17/2014We were there during Fabulicious. A nice fire burning in the fireplace on a snowy day was a bonus. My Reuban sandwich was amazing, the corned beef being very lean. The lobster pouting looked and tasted very good. The burger was ok but not outstanding. Desserts and starters were excellent and everything was presented nicely. Server was very friendly and prompt although he did get 1 order wrong. All in all a nice afternoon lunch with friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A pleasant experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/16/2014We stopped on our way home from Toronto during a day long snow storm. We had made reservations at the restaurant for Fabulicious Week. The dining room is stunning. The menu offerings were generous and well-prepared, The server was knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. We both had salmon which was done perfectly. The wine list is not extensive but was more than adequate and reasonably priced. We look forward to returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good food, good servicebubblesDined on 11/8/2014I found the food was served beautifully and at the right temperature. It was delicious. I had the tuna and my friend had the lobster poutine - both excellent! We were, however, both disappointed in our desserts - chocolate pumpkin mousse and the apple thing. Both not overly tasty or satisfying, especially for the price of them. Overall, an excellent experience and I would go again. I just wouldn't order dessert there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- apesbutterflyDined on 11/8/2014Of the six people in our party, three were not impressed with the food this year (last year we all had a much better experience). Although we were given a delicious appetizer on the house, my lamb dinner for $30 came with exactly 2 quarters of a carrot stick. Two people had the scallop pasta which was overly salty. The atmosphere was good and the waiter was very friendly.Special Features:
- Excellent!NewtoNOTLDined on 10/29/2014The food was amazing; many thanks to Executive Chef Jason Dobbie and his team. Our waiter (Joe) was also outstanding and a really nice guy. We highly recommend Zee.Special Features:
- Fantastic!TommyDinesDined on 10/27/2014My wife and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary in Niagara-on-the-Lake. I made the reservation to Zee's based on ratings I found on Trip Advisor. We were very impressed with the quality of the food and the service and felt we got value for our money. I would definately eat there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific food in a lovely spotOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/25/2014We loved the food at this restaurant in NOTL, and received top-notch service. From the help with choosing the right wine for our entrees, through the amuse bouche offered before our meal, to the excellent appetizers and main dishes, we savoured it all and felt well treated throughout.Special Features:
- Great dinner, excellent staffNOTLvisitDined on 10/21/2014I booked this restaurant after focusing on location, ambiance and menu. It is right in town, across from the theatre, very convenient. The menu is broad, we had the soup, tuna cheese plate and a desert (shared a bit). I asked to sit at a different table when we arrived, and my request was accomodated. The waitress/server was very patient, as we tried several glasses of wine before picking one (he drinks red, I drink white). Through the meal we were visited a couple of times to ensure that we were enjoying ourselves, but it was not intrusive. I asked for a candle to be put in my husbands desert, and it was taken care of - a little something special. I would definitely go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our Birthday/show dinnerFoodieDined on 10/17/2014This was our second visit to Zee's ( one lunch, one dinner). We enjoyed the food and service. We attended with NOTL residents who often frequent the Restaurant. It certainly met our requirements and lived up to our expectations...we shall return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect dinner in NOTLNotthewinesnobDined on 10/11/2014Great restaurant in the heart of downtown NOTL. Every dish was amazing. Both taste and presentation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/11/2014We had a delicious meal. The service was professional. The seating area was comfortable and pleasant. It was a great time and we'd highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SKMDDined on 10/10/2014Always good We love the food and wine The service is good and we go several times a yearSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GetawayDined on 10/10/2014We both started with the green salad - it was perfect. I had the lobster poutine - delicious and my husband had the tuna - he really enjoyed it. Service was outstanding. We would definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/5/2014Have been here many times before before or after the theatre. Menu seemed limited this time, service extremely slow and poor--requested sauce from waiter--he never brought it, soup was not hot. People that came in after us were served first and waiter said it from was different part of kitchen. Overall, unless there is an improvement--would not eat here again. Sad>Special Features:
- Across from Shaw Festival theaternewuser25Dined on 10/5/2014Used TripAdvisor for reviews of this restaurant. Reserved through Open Table, easy & for first time (and get points)! Ate on outdoor terrace that was covered. Locally sourced salad was delicious. Haven't gone deli in a while. So, The Reuben was great, its bread was amazingly tender, and the housemade sauerkraut was great (not too bland and not too bitter). Only major complaint was the sluggish service by the waitress. On OpenTable reservation, we indicated, via comment, that we were going to see the 2:00 PM show. The waitress wasn't paying attention to our verbal reminder of that show. She served other customers, who were sitting there. Meanwhile, we were trying to get her attention, and the bill. The time was getting close.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lunchtime go to restaurantLolly1960Dined on 10/3/2014Elegance and great food in a comfortable setting. Location to Shaw Festival theatre is a big bonus for matinee and evening theatre goers. The patio is well placed for small and large groups. Clean lines and comfortable modern decor highlights original art. Less marks for the food experience. The lobster poutine was disappointingly salty with cold large curds and a spar situ of lobster, though on a previous occasion it was stellar. Hope other entrees present more consistently. Will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014Great outdoor patio with a wonderful ambiance. Food was one of the best on a two week trip. Our server was very pleasant and helpful. Love this place.Special Features:
- An excellent start to our evening!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014By husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and ate at Zees on the weekend. The food was wonderful, the service excellent and the lovely. Went to a play from there- a very special evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hard to beat Zee'sepmckDined on 9/25/2014A very friendly, knowledgeable staff supported by a great kitchen makes Zee's a great place to relax and eat. It was a warm night and they had the outdoor heaters going, but turned them off when we suggested they were not necessary. Very nice of them. The lamb and the rib eye dishes were excellent. The salads with the raspberry reduction were just heaven.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- consistently very goodjwrocVIPDined on 9/25/2014great for before or after theatre dining....several of the appetizers actually large enough to be entrees for usSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely spotYayaDined on 9/25/2014We spent our anniversary at the Shaw. Breakfast at Zees is outstanding. Dinner however, a disappointment. Although they pay special attention to details, the soup was bland.......cold chowder..My husbands steak was skimpy and tough. I ordered two appetizers, a strawberry and compressed watermelon combo, which was very nice, and the carpaccio, served with arugula and a lovely vinagrette. Unfortunately, the menu offers few selections.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/24/2014Outstanding presentation and preparation of the dishes served - they were all enjoyed(especially the salmon). The service was impeccable and greatly appreciated. A Zees is must visit when in NOTL.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food & servicePeggyLDined on 9/24/2014We ate on the veranda @ Zees before going to the theater. Service was attentive and professional. We loved the food! I especially enjoyed my vegetarian entree - it was healthy and flavorful, and every bit as special as my husband's meat entree. Lots of locally sourced products on the menu too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Did not live up to it's reputationOpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 9/24/2014Husband's burger way over cooked. The extra vegies I had asked for were swimming in olive oil. Service was very slow. Show but no substance.Special Features:
- always reliableCleoVIPDined on 9/24/2014Had a lovely lunch on the porch in beautiful September weather. Husband loved his Reuben, mother-in-law enjoyed her pulled pork wrap and my veggie and arugula pizza was very good. Our waitress was outstanding. Come every year when we go to Shaw.Special Features:
- Great before matinees!HeidiDined on 9/23/2014I was with a friend who is on a very unique diet and she just loved the food. I've been here several times and always found excellent service and a great menu. I specially enjoy the ambiance in the veranda.Special Features:
- Amateur food at top chef pricesdissapointedonthelakeDined on 9/22/2014Min boggling that they could charge $35 for a 6 oz ribeye that tasted like it was made by a college student on a barbecue. Really the worst steak I have ever had. And it was smattered with poorly sautéed onions, dry mushrooms, and corn niblets that tasted like they were out of a can. I was floored. I ate with my fiancee and our bill for 2 with one drink came to $180. Her salmon was also inedible. Having had the tasting menu at Peller Estates the night before, we were admittedly coming off a culinary high. The dinner at Peller cost twice as much and was worth every penny. They do serve a really nice breakfast though. I would recommend that but dinner is way overpriced.
- One of best meals in NOTLOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/20/2014The menu was interesting and eclectic. The caesar salad was the most unique variation of a caesar I've ever had. The pasta with scallops and shrimp was excellent as well.Special Features:
- Service spoilerNOTLDinerDined on 9/20/2014We have dined at Zee's many times in the past for lunch before a Shaw play. We planned our visit with ample time to dine before the matinee. Our order was taken promptly, within 20 minutes the first course appeared, but after 45 minutes there we had to flag down our waiter to ask about our main course. He said it would be out "soon" - another 10 minutes went by, still no food, or update from him. By this time, we had been waiting nearly an hour and requested our check, so we could walk to the Royal George. At this point our food finally appeared. Our server did not seem to care that we had waited so long. We feel that an adjustment to our bill and acknowledgement of our delayed service should have been made by a manager.Special Features:
- Beautiful day to sit outsideSeapearlDined on 9/20/2014Food and service were wonderful. Beautifully presented. Will definitely go back!Special Features:
- Excellent experienceGoodfoodDined on 9/18/2014My friends and I throughly enjoyed our lunch at Zee's. We were welcomed when we entered and our waitress, Ashley, was friendly and attentive. I had dined at Zee's two years ago and wasn't very pleased as the menu was totally different from that shown on their website. This visit the menu was as expected, all five of us really enjoyed our meals. I would return to Zee's and would recommend it to anyone heading to Niagara on the Lake.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 9/17/2014Zee's serves consistently interesting and delicious food, with special attention to presentation. Appetizers and desserts are especially wonderful! We visit NOL once-a-year and make sure that Zee's is one of our dining choices.Special Features:

- Great ExperiencewineanddineDined on 9/12/2014This place came highly recommended by a local resident and we were not disappointed. Our meals were delicious and well presented. Portions were perfect; service was excellent....very attentive and knowledgeable. I would suggest asking for a table on the porch if weather permits. This was our first time at Zees but we will be back!Special Features:
- Great for Shaw Festival PlayFoodFanDined on 9/12/2014Attractive restaurant with good food and cheerful service next door to the Festival Theatre in Niagara-on-the-LakeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A good choiceOCBobDined on 9/11/2014Kitchen was behind, so service was slow. Recommend a 6:00 seating if you are going to Festival or a bit earlier if attending other venues.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing experience at ZeesOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/11/2014I had a 6pm reservation at Zees, which should have been plenty of time for a nice meal before the 8pm show at the Festival Theater next door...but my entree of seared tuna arrived at 7:15pm! According to the menu, the tuna was supposed to be rare but mine came out medium-well to well-done, making it chewy, fishy tasting, and almost inedible (although the accompanying soba noodles and daikon salad were good). I should have sent the tuna back but, considering as how I had to leave for a show soon, I didn't. The server did not offer any explanation or seem to think one was even needed. I expected much more of this restaurant but was disappointed. The ambience was excellent, but the service and tuna entree were fair at best.
- Shaw EatsNGTorontoDined on 9/10/2014Zees was the perfect spot for our lunch before a matinee at The Festivsl theatre, being just across the street. It would have been just as perfect for dinner before an evening performance. We enjoyed the outdoor patio on a lovely day. Service was fast and friendly and our food was delicious. Lots of choice on the menu.Special Features:

The War of 1812 has been hailed as "The Second War for Independence," but also ridiculed as "Mr. Madison's War." President Harry Truman was even less charitable, calling it "the silliest damned war we ever had." In a way, all three descriptions are accurate in describing America's least well known war.
We are now celebrating the bicentennial of the start of this most unusual war. It was on June 18, 1812, that Congress declared war after bitterly divided, close votes in both the House and Senate. On June 19, President James Madison officially announced that the United States was at war.
