I remember in LDT there was way to create a pond database or something by selecting polylines. From there you could get a volume report, and areas of each contour. Is there anything similar to that in Civil 3D? I have about 40 new pond areas and would like to get some quick areas of each contour per lake and be able to view/print some kind of organized report.
Civil 3D 2009
Civil 3d 2012
Solved! Go to Solution.
Stage Storage possibly?
Great...that is what I was looking for. Now if could only append each basin report into one file.
Once you have the stage/storage data, press the 'Create Report' button on the bottom of the dialog box and it will generate a tab-deliminated text file for you. Do this for each pond, then you can merge that data into a single text file, word document, or Excel spreadsheet. I do it all the time.
Thanks. Sounds like a good plan!

The Hills Hair and Makeup Quiz 2008-12-23 12:01:33
The Hills Beauty Quiz: Episode 20, "I Heidi Take Thee Spencer..."
On last night's season finale of The Hills, there were lots of surprises (and tears) all around. Heidi's mom, disappointed in her daughter's impromptu elopement, begged the couple not to make it official at the courthouse. In the end, Spencer did the right thing — would you ever have imagined? In the meantime, Audrina and Justin took their relationship to another level, and Heidi and Lauren finally had a heart-to-heart. Could this be the beginning of a rekindled friendship?
So, how closely were you paying attention to the beauty details of this episode? Take my quiz to find out and make sure you get the lowdown on the fashion from last night's episode on CelebStyle.

Volleyball upset by Belmont in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament, 3-0
Nov. 18, 2005
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Jacksonville volleyball team's bid for a second consecutive Atlantic Sun Tournament title fell short as they were defeated by Belmont, 3-0, Friday night in the conference semifinals in Nashville, Tenn.
"It was tough losing like that tonight," said JU head coach Kevin Paul. "It has been a tough two weeks, but I'm proud of the way we fought through it. Our team had another great season and I'm already looking forward to next year."
Junior Petya Borisova finished the match with a team-high 11 kills, while Junior Eva Stoilova added nine kills for the Dolphins (15-14). As a team, the Dolphins finished with a .113 hitting percentage.
With the match tied at 11-11 in game one, the Bruins (22-14) went on an 11-3 run to pull away from the Dolphins. The Dolphins cut the lead twice to three points in the final stages of game one, but the Bruins squashed the last rally.
The Bruins opened game two with a 10-2 lead and never looked back for the 30-22 win. Sara Jacobson lead the Bruins offensive attack with seven kills and four block assists. The Dolphins cut the lead to 23-19, but once again were unable to take the match.
In the game three, the Dolphins grabbed the initial lead, but the Bruins came roaring back with a 8-1 run to take a 19-11 lead that they would not relinquish.
Despite the loss, the Dolphins finished their four consecutive 15-win season and added their best conference record at 8-1.

I have come to accept that I am never going to compete in the Winter Olympics. This is largely because I have never tried any of the sports. In fact, I have avoided all athletic activities of any kind for my entire life. I've always assumed that through no fault of my own, I was born without the genes that would make me able to ski and then stop skiing and shoot things, or to steer a bobsled after a giant man pushed us downhill.

V. Hemodialysis Dose Troubleshooting
Inadequate Delivery of Hemodialysis (Opinion)
If the delivered Kt/V falls below 1.2, or the URR declines to <65%, on a single determination, at least one of the following actions should be performed:
1. Investigate potential errors in the delivery of the prescribed hemodialysis dose (see Table I-5);
2. Empirically increase the prescribed dose of hemodialysis; and/or
3. Suspend use of the reprocessed hollow fiber hemodialyzer.
The impact of these corrective interventions should be followed by performing more frequent measurements of Kt/V or URR.
Rationale Every effort should be made to ensure that patients receive adequate hemodialysis at each treatment (see Guideline 4: Minimum Delivered Dose of Hemodialysis). Whenever the delivered dose of dialysis falls below the minimum acceptable level (Kt/V = 1.2 or URR = 65%), a systematic investigation should be initiated promptly to identify why the delivered dose has declined to that level. The HD Adequacy Work Group developed an algorithm (see Table I-5) that can be used to identify the causes of inadequate delivery of hemodialysis and to implement corrective actions. The algorithm is based on the following assumptions:
1. It is unrealistic to expect dialysis care teams to immediately identify and correct problems that result in inadequate hemodialysis. Some delay in identifying a problem typically will occur. For example, with routine blood sampling, there is usually a delay of several days to 1 week between blood sampling and the delivery of the lab report that signals a problem. Over that interval, up to three hemodialysis treatments will have occurred. There will be additional delays as the potential causes of the problem are investigated. A prompt corrective response will minimize inadequate treatments.
2. More frequent measurements of Kt/V or URR will assist in identifying the problem(s), the underlying cause(s), and the necessary corrective action(s).
3. Hemodialysis units and clinicians should strive to categorize failures and to identify specific causes, eg, procedural errors by staff, equipment problems, deficient reprocessing techniques/systems, patient nonadherence, etc.
4. Increasing the prescribed hemodialysis dose until appropriate minimum targets are reached will improve patient outcomes.
5. Inadequate performance of reprocessed dialyzers may be associated with reductions in the delivered dose of hemodialysis.72,204-206,209
6. Prudent clinical judgment requires that use of a potentially inadequate hemodialyzer be suspended until the specific etiology of the insufficiency of delivered dose can be identified. If other factor(s) explaining the deficiency are identified, the dialyzer can be returned to use.
Error analysis algorithm
Initial Assessments Elements of hemodialysis treatment* to evaluate/correct immediately. These elements can be assessed noninvasively, using available data, and/or without incurring cost.
Clearance (K) less than assumed. Elements of the hemodialysis procedure affecting clearance include: dialyzer permeability (KoA), effective dialyzer surface area, blood flow, and dialysate flow.
Effective hemodialysis treatment time (Td) less than prescribed. Hemodialysis treatment time is the total time at the prescribed blood and dialysate flow rates with the prescribed dialyzer, or is the dialysis time determined to provide an equivalent Kt/V at the prevailing blood and dialysate flow rates for a particular hemodialyzer.
Errors in blood sampling or processing for BUN Concentration.
Secondary Assessments Evaluation of these elements of hemodialysis treatment requires further investigation. These investigations may be invasive, require more staff time or equipment maintenance, and/or are cost generating.
Clearance (K) less than assumed.
Effective hemodialysis treatment time (Td) less than prescribed.
Errors in sampling or processing for BUN concentration.
* The hemodialysis care team should note that list is not all-inclusive. However, the elements provided are the most common sources of error.

vacation rental description
Truly Lakefront Luxurious Log Cabin
We built our dream vacation home, Waters Edge, in 2007 after months of carefully designing the floor plan so that it would be perfect in every way. Waters Edge is a luxuriously furnished log cabin with 4 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths, and an Outdoor Shower for the warm months, that sleeps 12 and has all the amenities. It is truly lakefront, being directly on Watauga Lake. It has its own shoreline with its own private dock. The home is spacious with 3,500 square feet and three stories. You enter on the Main Level which has the Living Room, Dining Area, Kitchen, and Master Suite. Above that is the Loft Sitting Area and a separate Loft Bedroom. On the Lower Level is the Family Room with a Pool Table and Game Table, plus a Wet Bar, 2 more Bedrooms, the Laundry, and Outdoor Shower. There are 4 spacious decks and a balcony, all with fantastic views of the mountains and lake. Two of the decks have a roof and one has a deck floor above it. An outdoor sound system enhances your deck time!
Furnished for Your Enjoyment
Waters Edge has been furnished lavishly with all the creature comforts. The Gourmet Kitchen has everything you will need to prepare the master banquet for your guests or simply mix drinks and cook out on the adjacent Main Deck. Home theater, a flat screen TV, Wi-Fi, CD/DVD players, LCD TV, outside speakers, cable TV, and unlimited long distance telephone in the continental US fulfill your electronic needs. The natural stone gas log fireplace, Jacuzzi jetted tub in the Master Bath, and fire ring by the dock will relax and mesmerize you.
Why Watauga Lake?
We are environmental professionals from Florida who love the mountains and the lakes. We selected WataugaLake because it is one of the only lakes in the country at an elevation of 2,000 feet which means the weather tends to be cooler in the summer. It is truly one of the most beautiful and cleanest lakes in the U.S. With a shoreline 105 miles long, only 47 miles are developed, while the rest are part of the beautiful Cherokee National Forest. Thus, there are fewer houses on the lake and it does not have the boat traffic congestion that other more developed lakes have. Being environmentalists, that sits well with us and we are sure it will with you!
Location, Location, Location!
Waters Edge is just minutes from Butler, TN and conveniently located for leisure activities in all directions. It is approximately 1.5 hours from Asheville, NC, 40 minutes from both Boone, NC and Johnson City, TN, an hour from Bristol NASCAR Motor Speedto way, and less than an hour to Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain. There are plenty of recreational and leisure activities to select right at Waters Edge and within minutes of it. The selection includes all water activities, hiking, biking, snow skiing and ice skating, horseback riding, scuba diving, parks, sightseeing, and just plain relaxation. Your choices are endless!
All the Seasons
Yes, summer is our peak season and most popular time of the year. However, more and more guests are discovering our 3 other great seasons. The autumn reds, yellows, and oranges with cooler weather just have a way of saying "Relax! You're on vacation. Slow down and enjoy it!"
As the cool autumn weather turns colder, winter sets in and wow, that fireplace warms you to the bone. Just out the window wall are the mountains and lake in all their snow-covered glory. Within 50 minutes are 5 slopes to ski, snowboard, or tube on. At the end of the day, the drive back relaxes you and when you arrive at Waters Edge, it's time to enjoy your own ski lodge. Good food and drink, the Jacuzzi jetted tub to relax those muscles, a fire and you're in heaven!
Come spring time, the budding trees and songbirds stir your spirit. The weather warms up typically during the day, but cools off very nicely at night. Though you may not want to swim yet, the complimentary canoe and kayak carry you quietly through your own private tour of Watauga Lake. It is great to go sightseeing and take in some of the festivals and celebrations in the area within a 45 minute drive.
Be Our Guest!
Whatever your season, you will find you can truly enjoy it at Waters Edge. Check out the amenities, activities, and attractions below. Feel free to e-mail or call me at anytime. I am Scott Russell, the Owner, and I and my wife, Michele, would be proud to have you as guests in our lake home!

Like most revolutions, this one began quietly. Decades ago, secretive bass fishermen in search of a competitive edge started adding drops of anise oil to their bags of plastic worms, theorizing that the scent/flavor would cause fish to hold the lure longer and facilitate hookups. Manufacturers caught wind of this trick and soon offered strawberry- and grape-scented worms.
The trend eventually flowed downstream to saltwater environs and, thanks in large part to the popularity of Berkley Gulp! baits, the menu now includes many more flavors.
Don't expect aroma alone to entice strikes, however; lure shape and movement still play major roles in duping fish. "I'm a firm believer that lure action and presentation are more important than scent," says Eric Bachnik, of MirrOlure, which recently introduced Provoker shrimp-scented soft-plastic twitch baits. "But the Gulp! revolution came about, and now anglers demand scent in their soft baits."
Wake Up and Smell the...
Check around, and you'll find lures with scents/flavors that range from shrimp to garlic and, yes, even coffee. These recipes fit into three basic categories: masking scents (for example, with anise, coffee or garlic) to hide human and plastic odors; natural-bait flavors (crab, sardine, shrimp, squid) to mimic prey; and chemical formulas (Atraxx, Exude, Gulp!, Power Bait, Trigger X) designed to stimulate a feeding response in fish.
Berkley developed and continues to improve Power Bait and Gulp! products in its million-dollar lab in Spirit Lake, Iowa. Under highly controlled conditions - fish are fed regularly to avoid pure hunger reactions and kept separated in individual tanks to prevent a competitive feeding response - Berkley researchers conduct thousands of tests to isolate particular flavor elements that fish prefer. Chemists then re-create and intensify these flavors, which are added to the baits prior to molding. Gulp! Alive! baits come in containers filled with the liquid formula to provide an additional infusion of attractant.
Made of a biodegradable, water-based material matrix, Power Bait and Gulp! lures begin working their olfactory magic as soon as they hit the water. At what distance can fish smell them? "The effective range depends on water conditions and species," says Berkley's product development director, John Prochnow. "It varies from a few inches to a few yards."
Dr. John Caprio, a fish neurobiologist at Louisiana State University, has dedicated more than 30 years to studying how fish interpret odors and taste prey. Through online monitoring of nerves that process taste and smell, he tested the reactions of various species and isolated the specific natural chemicals that stimulate fish to eat. "Like humans, fish have distinct neurological pathways for tasting and smelling," Caprio says. "My laboratory determines the key chemicals that activate the smell and taste systems in fish, and we used these findings to develop the SCI-X formula."
Since fish detect odors via water-soluble - not airborne - particles, Caprio says they don't perceive the same smells that humans do. For this reason, he puts little faith in aromatic masking scents. "We've identified the active components of natural chemicals that fish are designed to detect and incorporated them into Attrax lures with SCI-X," he says. "The lures look, feel, smell and taste like live bait. Not only do Attrax lures release natural compounds that mimic live bait, they do so in much greater concentrations than would occur naturally. The more stimulation, the more aggressively fish bite."
When asking for details about ingredients, I learned the substances that induce fish to feed cause lockjaw in manufacturers. "Proprietary information" was the standard reply.

The New Orleans Saints and San Diego Chargers will take the field in New Orleans for a Sunday Night Football matchup in Week 5, and NFL experts appear to think that the Saints will snap their four-game losing skid and topple the Chargers.
CBS Sportsline's stable of eight experts has six picking the Saints, while Will Brinson and Josh Katzowitz pick the Chargers to come out on top.
The "brain trust" at ESPN has unanimously picked the Saints to win, although five of the network's 13 experts have not submitted picks for Week 5 games.
Mike Silver and Jason Cole of Yahoo! are picking the Saints to win.
SB Nation's own Joel Thorman is picking the Chargers to win Sunday's contest by a score of 34-30. Thorman writes:
This should've been one of the week's best games, but the Saints screwed it all up and started 0-4. I have no idea what to make of that team. The offense doesn't look like they should be 0-4, but the defense is horrible. Their best defensive performance came when they allowed 27 points to the Chiefs, 21 of those unanswered. San Diego is coming off a defensive performance where they forced six turnovers. A tale of two different teams right now.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on NBC.

Patient Comments: Neuropathic Pain - Treatment
What treatment did you have for your neuropathic pain?
Comment from: gayle, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: November 08
I first started having the pain about 12 years ago. My foot doctor gave me cortisone shots all over both feet to no avail. I went to pain management doctor and he could do nothing. I went to a neurologist and was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. He gave me Neurontin (gabapentin). I went up to 800 mg. The foot doctor changed me to Lyrica 600 mg a day (maximum dosage). I also take 100 mg Tramadol. These medications help but I do have issues occasionally. The worst pain is at night.

Comment from: oldhawk, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: July 15
30+ years ago my feet began to hurt. The first Dr. advised Mortons neuroma. Later, a neurologist diagnosed Bilateral Neuropathy (both feet). Today, i'm using Nortriptyline (30 mg/day). The pain, stabbing my feet with ice picks, is mostly under control, except once in a while, then WHAM! The pain hits and lasts a few moments to minutes. There appears to be nothing that I do which triggers the pain. I'm thankful for medication that helps manage it.

Key Features
- Best-selling author Brent Turvey defines the deductive profiling method, which focuses on examining the nature and behavior of criminals in order to solve crimes
- Contributing authors represent law enforcement, academic, mental health, and forensic science communities for a balanced perspective
- Completely revised with 35% new material including updates on the latest advances in evidence-based profiling
New to this edition
- New cases in every chapter
- New chapters in logic and reasoning
- New chapter reviewing non-evidence based profiling methods
- New chapter on mass homicide
- New chapter on terrorist profiling and interviewing
Now in its fourth edition, Criminal Profiling - winner of a 2013 Texty Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association - is an established resource centered on the deductive profiling method developed by the author. With 35% new content, this edition contains cases in each chapter, along with the latest advances in evidence-based profiling. Additional information has been added covering topics such as mass homicide, as well as the timely inclusion of a chapter on terrorist profiling and interviewing.
Deductive profiling is different from other forms of profiling in that it does not involve averaged, statistical profiles. Instead it focuses on criminal profiling as an investigative process, solving real crime through an honest understanding of the nature and behavior of criminals. It approaches each criminal incident as its own universe of behaviors and relationships. Throughout the text, the author illustrates the most crucial tenet that any good criminal profiler should adhere to: the enthusiastic desire to investigate and examine the facts.
Criminal Profiling, Fourth Edition, is an ideal companion for students and professionals alike, including investigators, forensic scientists, criminologists, mental health professionals, and attorneys. Readers will use it as a comprehensive reference text, a handbook for evaluating physical evidence, a tool to bring new perspectives to cold cases, and as an aid in preparing for criminal trials.
Students in programs such as: forensic science, psychology, sociology, criminal profiling, or investigative strategy in serial crime; and as a supplement to courses involving criminology, arson, stalking, sex crimes or death investigation. Forensic consultants, forensic scientists, law enforcement.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Peoria Public Works crews began working on residential streets Saturday afternoon.
Supervisor David Haste said the primary routes have been plowed, but traffic is still moving slower than normal.
Crews will be working throughout the night, continuing to treat the light snow mixed with sleet.
They warn drivers to take caution on possible slick areas.
"I just keep to the right and try to focus on what I am doing," said driver, Evan Thomas. "I mean there are a lot of four-wheel-drive trucks and big SUVs that will fly past you. You just have to do what you have to do."
"I drive like an old lady. I have a Hummer and I still drive slow," said driver, Debbie Bogard. "I just drive slow, and I am cautious."
City crews said they expect to complete residential plowing by the morning.
Bloomington Public Works Director, Jim Karch said major roads are clear and crews are working on subdivisions.
With temperatures expected to drop Saturday night, roads will be very slick.

As a condition for supporting an opposition coalition seeking to form a government after recent polls, the nationalist Vetevendosje Movement wants EU-backed dialogue with Belgrade to stop.
Hashim Thaci and Ivica Dacic, leaders of Kosovo and Serbia, reached an agreement in Brussels on the police in northern Kosovo.
Serbia is threatening to quit negotiations with Kosovo after the authorities in Pristina banned Serbian officials from traveling to Kosovo during the election campaign there.
The election commission has stepped in to calm a row over the logo on ballot papers for Kosovo's local polls in November which had threatened to discourage Serbs from voting.
The success of the local elections in Kosovo on November 3 pose a crucial test both for Belgrade and Pristina, UN officials said.
The 15th round of negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina ended on Tuesday without a final agreement on the ballots to be used in the November local elections, or on telecommunications and energy.
Ahead of the upcoming Pristina-Belgrade meeting in Brussels, disagreements persist over the logo to be printed on the ballots for the November local elections in Kosovo.
As a dispute rumbles on over the use of symbols on upcoming Kosovo local election ballots, the OSCE has urged all parties to find a mutually agreeable solution.
No Serb political parties have registered with Kosovo's election commission so far to take part in the local elections scheduled for November.
A petition to amend a controversial law intended to help integrate Serbs into the Pristina-run system by offering amnesties for past resistance has been sent to Kosovo's president.
Prime Minister Hashim Thaci said Serbian parallel police structures in northern Kosovo have already been dismantled, while parallel courts are to close soon.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton strongly backed the amnesty law that is aimed at integrating Kosovo Serbs into Pristina's legal system by decriminalising past resistance.
The Prime Ministers of Kosovo and Serbia are reportedly close to reaching significant deals on telecommunications and energy.
An amended version of a proposed amnesty law aimed at helping normalise relations with Serbia has been sent back to parliament after the original version was voted down.
As the government moves ahead on implementing the EU-brokered deal with Serbia, the opposition nationalist Vetevendosje movement has scheduled a mass protest for Thursday.
Belgrade and Pristina finally agreed on the future of Serb-run North Kosovo in the tenth round of EU-led talks on Friday.

- love Mon Ami, butlizteeDined on 8/31/2014We always enjoy Mon Ami Gabi, but last few visits have been seated at a table in aisle placement in very tight quarters. It was at least 15 minutes before drink orders were taken even though bread and water arrived immediately. Our server apparently had too many tables we rarely saw him. Ordered wine and received incorrect label. Noise level was unbearable... Impossible to hear table companions. Will say it was raining and outside service unavailable, so very crowded inside. Food super as always. Recommend eating outside if possible! Wish they could do something about the noise level.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- YumOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/31/2014For a bistro, the menu was extensive. The nightly special Beef Wellington melted in your mouth. The bread with the carrot starter was unique. The only draw back was the noise level. It was busy and pretty loud. The food and service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wedding AnniversaryOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014We've made Mon Am Gabi a tradition for our wedding anniversary and plan on going there for many more years. The service is impeccable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not Always as Good as it Could BeStarbaseDined on 8/30/2014We've dined at Mon Ami Gabi 4 times. This is the first time we cannot honestly give a top-notch review. While the steak bordelaise and the salmon were really good, the service and dessert were not. The servers only came to our table to take our orders, refill our water and deliver our food. We felt ignored for most of the time we sat there waiting a very long time to get our food and an even longer time to get dessert. Not once did anyone come over to ask how we were enjoying our meal or if we needed anything else. Usually, the wait staff clears the bread crumbs off the table before dessert is served. Not this time. Also, the profiteroles usually come as 4 small pastries. This time, it looked like a 4 scoop Big Mac. Not a good presentation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely BistroOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/30/2014We love the place, but they don't seem to change the menu very much very often. We'd probably go more often if the menu choices were more dynamic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Finally had the short ribs!MonAmiFDVIPDined on 8/27/2014I'll confess, I'm a regular at Mon Ami Gabi. Why? Well, I consistently enjoy great service and delicious food! Normally, I'm happy with escargot, a salad, and Vouvray, and I try the specials from time to time. Unfortunately, I hadn't seemed to make it there on a Wednesday for the Plat du Jour, which is braised beef short ribs...until this week. Dear lord is that good...and while the portion isn't super sized by any means, I could have eaten half of it and been fine. No. That meal was so delicious that I ate it all! I was so full, I could have rolled home, but I was one happy patron. Go on Wednesday and order the ribs...trust me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent appetizerGKRKVIPDined on 8/24/2014The chicken liver mousse was excellent. The beef wellington was good, but not great. The blueberry crepes were disappointing. The crepe was too thick, and there were not enough blueberries.I would recommend this to a friend.
- OK, but there's better optionsPigglySnobDined on 8/22/2014Bread was good, but I had to eat it with my hands since it was served whole. We ordered the onion soup: cheesey, salty, bread-laden and good. I wasn't thrilled with the Brie appetizer. It was a chunk of warm brie, with rubbery "croutons," honey strewn everywhere, and burn whole hazelnuts. I just wasn't sure how to eat it; I ended up having to use my hands to assemble bites together. I ordered the steak frites (peppercorn, medium temp). The steak was AWESOME---really flavorful, tenderized, very good. The fries however, were brittle and awkward (had to use hands again). For desert, the bread pudding was fine, but overly sweet. Creme brulee was good. I didn't like that I had to use my hands so much for a fancy french dinner!
- PHENOMENAL!!SOFTSHOEDined on 8/22/2014Mon Ami Gabi offered the ideal package for the perfect date night - Exquisite food, superb wine, and phenomenal service. My beautiful Lady and I had an amazingly wonderful fine dining evening. Our waiter, Tim, was a class act and wrote the book on service. Tim demonstrated the balance of confidence, knowledge, humility and quality service that fine diners seek. As we told Tim just before departing, he and Mon Ami Gabi, made our date night an absolutely wonderful experience. We will definitely go back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SnickersVIPDined on 8/22/2014excellent as usual. always good but sometimes just too noisySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food; fills up quickly!GeneMDined on 8/22/2014Excellent menu options; if going for lunch arrive early; packed by 12:20. Tables very close; quite noisy once full. Service very attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very GoodPinkShirtGuyVIPDined on 8/16/2014We went for the first time and enjoyed the restaurant very much. I had one of the steak frites and my wife had the crab cake. Both were what you would expect and good. Service good too. We'll try it again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious steakOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/16/2014Everything we ordered was delicious. And the food came remarkably fast. The steak was very good and not overpriced. The french fries are addictive. Left the restaurant and soon after was craving for other items in the menu. Will have to come back soon.
- I love this restaurantmvgvDined on 8/16/2014Everything was great. The food was incredible but it took too long to get to the table and we were all starving!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful Day!BobbyVIPDined on 8/16/2014We dropped into Mon Ami Gabi for an opportunity for good food in an outdoor setting & had a great time - as always!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent!Seram2VIPDined on 8/15/2014We LOVE Mon Ami Gabi!! Server are ALWAYS with a big smile, their food is tasteful, their choices and special dishes are delicious. That's why we're regular customers at Mon Ami!!!Special Features:
- Misinformation AboundsMartiniFanDined on 8/15/2014I booked this through OpenTable's Restaurant week options. I crossedchecked the FairfaxCounty website for Restaurant Week participation. I confirmed both. Upon arrival, I was told by the manager that the restaurant does not participate. That is first misinformation. I ordered the steak frite -au poivre. I got a weird thin piece of steak, cooked as ordered, but doused in a thin french sauce with clumps of coarse pepper thrown on. Who cooked this? Steak au Poivre is not just a steak doused with sauce and with crushed pepper- please do not misrepresent the offering! Julia Child would turn in her grave... Service was top notch but food, and the misinformation around restaurant week participation, were huge minuses. I don't recommend it.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/15/2014The Happy hour really draws in the people and the outdoor dining for dinner and HH is excellent. Great location and love the seasonal menus The Profiteral for dessert is killer and excellent cocktailsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Raspberry souffléOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/11/2014If they have it, ask for the raspberry soufflé. It's worth the wait!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reston specialloveeatsDined on 8/9/2014This is great neo-French food in Reston. We have eaten there several times and never disappointed. In particular the Steak Frites are delicious, any of the choices. Will be back often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Casual DiningAnneDined on 8/9/2014Having spent 2 weeks in France recently, I may be holding this restaurant to an unfairly high standard, but it clearly has good and bad points. Positive: very good and reasonably priced wine selection; very good steak frites; great bread. Negative: too loud; chicken liver mousse had great texture but not great flavor; desserts are touted ("we have our own pastry chef") but the peach tart special and bananas foster crepe were bland; blackberry sorbet was excellent; service was mixed, at times great. then lacking. For example we asked for a second bottle of wine to be brought with our entrees. When the entrees were served, our wine server was nowhere to be seen and totally forgot about our order. Overall good but still needs tweaking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- brianDined on 8/9/2014Food was greta but the waitress could have been more CheerySpecial Features:
- Special occasionKShackDined on 8/8/2014This was our first visit to Mon Ami Gabi but it won't be our last. We went for my wife's birthday and shared the Chilled Seafood Platter and Peach Melba for desert. We enjoyed our evening and the food and service, but now we have to go back to try the steak and "frites". Our server was attentive and friendly and the free parking at the garage was a bonus.Special Features:
- MenuDianeDined on 8/8/2014Sandwich du jour taste good. The crepes was a bit too thick. The sorbet was good. The mousse was good but portion was smaller than before. Love the baguette.Special Features:
- Generally goodzzred01Dined on 8/7/2014The place was empty and I had to ask to be seated further back rather than the first table by the door. Service was good until we tried to pay, waited 20 minutes to get my credit card processed.Special Features:
- Birthday CelebrationIMGRATEFULDined on 8/3/2014Mon Ami Gabi is a great place for meeting friends to celebrate with a Birthday Brunch. The menu offered a variety of selections as well as daily specials. The Bloody Mary bar is always enjoyed. The food and service is always top notch, as anyone could tell by the nearly full restaurant on a Sunday in August in the DC area - this says a lot about the location.Special Features:
- ups and downsmaudeabbottDined on 8/2/2014Service started out slowly, and we sat for 10 minutes or more before we could order beverages. When we finally got the waiters attention, he was very attentive. My Frisee/ Kale salad was not what I expected but was tasty.
- Always GreatLovefoodVIPDined on 8/2/2014I eat here fairly often and the food is always excellent. I could say the same for the service. Whoever trains the servers here deserves kudos for the high level of consistency and attention to detail. I am always a happy customer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/2/2014Food was steady as it goes. Service was way off. Waiter took 10 min. to serve water. When told we were 4 people and that there were 2 missing place settings - it took 30 minutes and a 2nd asking for him to procure the place settings. Needed to go in and ask another waiter to find him and take our drink orders then again when we were done with those we needed to ask another waiter to find him. The restaurant could have definitely made more money from our table if only the service would have been adequate.Special Features:
- He did it againMoetteVIPDined on 8/1/2014My husband and I had an awesome time again Food were delicious and the service was outstanding Romain is our rock starSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good serviceLisaDined on 8/1/2014My son and I had a very nice dinner there with good, friendly and prompt service. I very much enjoyed the tuna Nicosia salad and my son enjoyed all of his steak. We will go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SlooooowDinerVIPDined on 7/30/2014We had to wait about 15 minutes though we had reservations. When we were seated we had to finally flag down a waiter to take our drink order. I realize they were busy; however, it only takes a minute to place a deink order and to put a table " on hold."Special Features:
- A worthy choiceMichaelEDined on 7/30/2014Great food, excellent service. An excellent choice for a fine meal in a casual atmosphere.Special Features:

�If Nan Kempner hung out with Bob Dylan in the West Village in the fifties, this is what she would've worn," Brian Wolk said backstage at the National Arts Club, Claude Morais standing by as if about to jump in and finish his partner�s sentence for him.
And, yes, you could absolutely picture Kempner, the late, rail-thin
clotheshorse whose style is currently being celebrated at the Costume Institute exhibit, in the duo�s second-skin ("molded," they called it) stretch-charmeuse top and high-waisted silk-faille trousers. She would�ve just loved the ruffle flounces that traipsed along the lapel of a wrap jacket and down the neckline of a halter.
Ruffian has long bandied about the aspirational term �American couture,� and it's always seemed anachronistic that they should design for women of Kempner�s generation and tax bracket. But perhaps their focus is shifting. While it was clear they hadn�t exactly raided the bargain bin when it came to fabricsall that polished wool, silk taffeta, and sequinsplenty of the pieces would look believable on, say, Olivia Palermo (the freshly anointed social darling who sat in the front row and, based solely on the number of shows she's hit so far this weekend, just might rival Kempner for fashion enthusiasm). In a Ruffian cashmere flannel A-line dress with snaps and exposed zippers, any twenty-first-century Nan would fairly glow.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Harvard University administrators secretly searched the emails of 16 deans last fall, looking for a leak to reporters about a case of cheating, two newspapers reported.
The email accounts belonged to deans on the Administrative Board, a committee addressing the cheating, The Boston Globe and The New York Times reported, citing school officials. The deans were not warned about the email access and only one was told of the search afterward.
Harvard will not comment on personnel matters or provide additional information about the board cases that were concluded during the fall term, Michael Smith, dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, said in an email Sunday. If the committee's work were compromised, Harvard College would protect the process, he said.
"Generally speaking, however, if circumstances were to arise that gave reason to believe that the Administrative Board process might have been compromised, then Harvard College would take all necessary and appropriate actions under our procedures to safeguard the integrity of that process, which is designed to protect the rights of our students to privacy and due process," he said.
Smith's office and the Harvard general counsel's office authorized the search, the Globe reported.
Harvard spokesman Jeff Neal did not specifically address the allegations but denied any routine monitoring of emails.
"Any assertion that Harvard routinely monitors emails — for any reason — is patently false," he said in an email.
Sharon Howell, Harvard's senior resident dean, criticized Harvard administrators and said they owed the deans an apology for failing to notify the email accountholders until after gaining access to the emails.
"They don't seem to think they've done anything wrong," she told the Globe.
Harvard University said last month that it issued academic sanctions against about 60 students who were forced to withdraw from school for a period of time in a cheating scandal that involved the final exam in a class on Congress. The school implicated as many as 125 students in the scandal when officials first addressed the issue last year.
The inquiry started after a teaching assistant in a spring semester undergraduate-level government class detected problems in the take-home test, including that students may have shared answers.

Its ok.....will do the job.
The item is ok, I was expecting a bigger product, hey my fault, lol, I should have looked at the size of the item before I purchase it. Other than that it's ok .
Item is very small. Not what I expected
The product was somewhat smaller than I anticipated but I am still pleased with it. It does make it a lot more convenient to clean those guns.
Item was received in a timely manner, the box arrived fairly wet and seperated but the internal package was fine as were the items enclosed. Alls good.
