10 Questions With: Kansas head coach Charlie Weis
- Details
- by Zach Barnett 1 year ago
Charlie Weis is nothing if not brutally honest. Whether it's assessing his team's 2012 season, his own experience and the best and worst things about college football, the second-year Kansas head coach calls them like he sees them. We caught up with Weis to talk about college vs. NFL, adjusting to the Big 12, his social media habits and more in Tuesday's edition of 10 Questions With.
To view past installments of 10 Questions With, please visit the archives.
1) In what ways will your team improve after last year's 1-11 campaign?
We better be better in a lot of ways to be perfectly honest with you. There wasn't one area of our team, other than our running game and our running back position that I could say played winning-level football. We weren't good in the kicking game, we weren't good in the passing game, our quarterback play was poor. We've gone through a total revamping of our team. We brought in a bunch of junior college players that we intend to get into the mix quickly.
In my case, unlike a lot of other teams that can start with a lot of positives, other than the running back position that I thought was our best by far last year - I think even that position should be deeper and better than it was last year. So there isn't any area where I wouldn't expect an improvement.
2) I thought you looked much better than a 1-11 team at many times last year. Do you think your team fell victim to a historically deep Big 12 that sent nine of its 10 teams to bowl games?
I think we were a victim of not being able to close out close games. I think when you answer your question "yes", you're making excuses. The bottom line is, we were in a half-dozen games that we had a chance of winning at the end of the game that we didn't win. I think that part of the learning process to go from a losing mentality to a winning mentality is when you're in those close games you close them out and win. We had opportunities to hold leads that we didn't, and we had opportunities where we were down less than a score where we didn't make that key play to win the game. I've always been grilled you are what you are. You need to win the close games, but the first thing the team needs to do is to learn that when you're in those close games that something good is going to happen, not something bad.
3) You employ a sport psychologist on your staff. Is that something you installed once you took over?
When you're talking about 18-to-22 year old men, a lot of times they don't open up completely of things outside of just football to you. I think that having a venue to go to to talk about life and talk about home and talk about school, talk about pressures, talk about those things, I think that to have an availability to kids is a very, very good, positive resource.
4) What do you prefer about the college game over the NFL?
I don't prefer the college game over the NFL. I like them both the same. They're different, now. They're very different. I don't prefer one over the other. I like them both. The one good thing about college, I'll give you the best thing and the worst thing.
The best thing and the worst thing about college are both related to the amount of hours that you have a week to spend with the players. You only get 20 hours a week with the players. So what that means is when they're going to class til 2:30 in the afternoon, you have from five o'clock in the morning to 2:30 in the afternoon where you can be studying tape and game-planning and preparing for practice. In the NFL, you don't have that time because the players are in by seven o'clock in the morning. All your work has to be done at night time when you're tired. At night time when the players have left and you've finished watching practice, now you're game planning for the next day. It's 12 o'clock at night and you're making decisions on things that you have to have prepared by the time the players come in the next morning. It's nice to be able to be fresh in the morning and be able to come up with your ideas while the players are in class. Simultaneously, that 20 hours is also the worst thing because you have a limited amount of time you can spend with the players, whereas in the NFL there's no limit to how much time you can spend with them.
5) You've embraced Twitter and Facebook pretty enthusiastically. How much of a learning curve did you have with social media?
I'm still way behind the eight-ball on that one. Fortunately I have a 20-year old son that has an office down the hall from me that is light years ahead of me as far as that goes. But I do my own Twitter and I do my own Facebook so when I make a mistake it's me making a mistake, or if I say something stupid it's me saying something stupid. I'm not one of those coaches who has somebody else manning the site for me. I actually do the stuff on my own.
5a) We enjoyed this tweet from you the other day about how you stayed up watching the Stanley Cup Finals while Facebooking recruits. How much time do you spend doing that?
When I get home, I make sure that my kid already had dinner and everything like that, I flip on (TV) - last night it was the hockey game, tonight it will be the basketball game - I flip that on, I open up my laptop, I go to Facebook and sit there and legally communicate with recruits that you can't call. It happens every day.
6) How do you use the Kansas basketball program to benefit Kansas football?
There's two different ways. One is just by having our players watch how their team plays not with just passion but how they play such team basketball. Coach Self and his staff have done a wonderful job of getting everyone to buy into the team concept and it's pretty obvious when you watch them play. It's a great example for our players to see how a bunch of guys can mesh together and mesh so well. Another way, if I had my druthers every Saturday in January there'd be a home basketball game so when you had official visits in you could bring them to Allen Fieldhouse. I've been to Cameron, I've been to a lot of those places, there's no better environment to watch a basketball game than Allen Fieldhouse. When we bring recruits in for a weekend that there's a game on Saturday it doesn't make a difference who they're playing, that place is rocking and rolling and it sends a very good message.
7) You brought in Dave Campo last year as assistant head coach for defense and defensive backs coach. How quickly did he become re-acclimated to the college game after a quarter-century in the NFL?
He's still adjusting, to be perfectly honest with you. I've done it a lot more recently than him, obviously, both at Florida and at Notre Dame. X's and O's are X's and O's, that really doesn't change. But the speed of the game that the offenses play in the Big 12, that's one thing that you adjust on the fly because in the NFL very few teams play at the pace (of the Big 12). Not just no huddle, but as quickly as they snap the ball. That's something that is probably the biggest things from going to the NFL from all those years to coming to college.
8) With the experience you two have in the NFL, how much is the league brought up in your program on a day-to-day basis?
We don't talk about it in the program other than when you're involved with recruiting players. Every player really wants three things. They want to get a good education, they want an opportunity to play and, God willing, they would like an opportunity to play on Sunday. Every player you recruit wants those three things. Now, some of them don't want them in that order, if you know what I'm saying, but they all want those three things. Between the head coach and the assistant head coach, you take the two guys and add up their years of 39 years in the NFL and seven rings, that's a pretty enticing fact.
9) What do you like to do when you get away from football?
When I'm not working, I'm usually doing something with your family or for your family. Most of our time away from football is spent doing work with people for special needs. I have a daughter with special needs and we have a charity for people with special needs called Hannah and Friends and I spend as much time as I can doing things with my wife for people with special needs when I'm not working.
10) Speaking of your family, how much are you enjoying having your son as part of the program?
You know that American Express commercial, "Priceless"? Usually when your kid goes to college they go away and you hardly ever see them. My kid walks in the office 10 times a day. Just to be able to do that one fist bump to start off the day when you see him, it really makes you feel good about being able to spend quality time even though he tries to avoid me like the plague most of the time.

Quakers set for £75,000 windfall after former player's FA Cup appearance
Updated 6:36pm Monday 6th January 2014 in News By Joe Willis, Regional Chief Reporter
DARLINGTON FC is set to receive a £75,000 windfall from a Premier League club.
The non-league club is in line for the pay-out after their former player, Dan Burn, made his first-team debut for Fulham on Saturday.
The appearance during the FA Cup third round 1-1 draw with Norwich triggered a clause in a contract negotiated by Darlington when they sold the player for about £350,000 in 2011.
Fulham will now have to pay £75,000 because he was named in the first team squad for the game and a further £75,000 because he got on the pitch.
A deal agreed when Darlington FC was bought by fans from the administrator in 2012 means the club will get half the £150,000 and the rest will go to creditors of the old company, Darlington FC 2009.
The payment is being arranged by Harvey Madden, the Yarm administrator who handled the sale of the club.
He said: "I can confirm that Dan Burn's appearance in the FA Cup did trigger the first payment to Darlington FC 2009.
"It was agreed that there would be a 50/50 split with Darlington 1883. I have already invoiced Fulham and would expect Darlington FC to invoice me for their half.
"It's a real fillip for the club."
Mr Madden said he was checking the terms of the contract to find out when future payments could be expected, if the player remained in the Fulham first-team.
Although Burn signed for the Premier League club in 2011, the defender was loaned out to Yeovil Town last season and Championship team Birmingham City this year.
Martin Jesper, Darlington FC chief executive, said he was restricted on what he could say about the clause, but stressed that any payments from Fulham did not detract from the need to continue raising money.
Last month, the club launched an investment scheme with the aim raising at least £50,000 to stabilise the club's finances.
The campaign is running alongside a separate drive to pay for the proposed move to Blackwell Meadows, where it will share the ground with Darlington Rugby Club.
Run by Darlington FC Community Interest Company, this scheme has a target of £75,000.

JUNKYARD SCREENING, POLICY CLARIFICATION (23 CFR 751.9(a)(1) AND 751.13(c)). FHWA regulations require that junkyards must be screened "so as not to be visible from the main traveled way". The point in time at which effective control is required is subject to administrative interpretation. 23 CFR 751.13(c) requires that where screening is used, it must effectively screen the junkyard "upon completion of the screening project". This means that when natural plantings are used, completion of the project could occur when the plantings used reach maturity. Such projects should be monitored to ensure effective control. See the attachment for NS 23 CFR 751 regarding Advisory Guidelines for Implementation of the Junkyard Control Program.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York City medical examiner's office says eight people have died of heat exposure during July's punishing heat wave.
The medical examiner's office reported a 67-year-old Queens man died on Friday and two Brooklyn women, a 61-year-old and an 82-year-old, died on Saturday.
All three deaths were caused by hyperthermia. The National Weather Service says the air temperature reached 96 degrees on Friday.
Earlier, the medical examiner said hyperthermia claimed the life of a 78-year-old Brooklyn man on Friday and a 57-year-old Staten Island man on July 8, when the temperature in the city reached 89 degrees. Details on the other deaths weren't available.
Medical examiner's office spokeswoman Ellen Borakove on Tuesday said all eight victims had underlying medical problems. The names of the victims were not released.

The union leadership has shot themselves in the foot. They put a lot of time and money into their candidates, and their candidates lost. Those elected are the ones the unions campaigned against. There will be no lost love so expect the council to take a hard-line approach to reining in the employee costs. If the unions stayed out of the elections, they would do their members a service. If you are a candidate and a group works real hard to campaign against you getting your job, you are not going to be real friendly with them once you are in office.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — An Upstate Correctional Facility inmate in Malone faces two felony charges.
Alex Velez, 29, was found to allegedly be in possession of prison contraband in June after being processed by officers, according to Plattsburgh-based State Police. Police said after a trip to the prison hospital, it was found that Velez had hidden two scalpel blades inside the fingers of a plastic glove inside a body cavity. Velez was arrested at about 8:50 a.m. Thursday and charged with first-degree criminal possession of prison contraband and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, both felonies. After being processed at the State Police barracks in Plattsburgh, Velez was transported back to prison, where he will await future court action.

I am not familiar with the work of Judas Priest, so this album has been my first introduction to Rob Halford's work. It is an extremely well made album, and I listen to it on an average of 3 times a day. If you are a fan of Rob Halford, NineInchNails, The Smashing Pumpkins or Jane's Addiction, BUY THIS ALBUM!!!
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Two's Voyeurs has struck me as a serious, though often failed, foray into new territory for NWOBHM's master vocalist. It's not Judas Priest and it's not Nine Inch Nails; thankfully, I don't think that was ever the idea. The lyrics range from creepy to outlandishly stupid. However, Halford and company hit some high marks. The first three tracks are fairly catchy, though "I Am a Pig" and "Leave Me Alone" have some laughable lyrics. "Stutter Kiss" is killer — epic, and better than anything Priest has put out in recent memory. The first half of the album attempts to keep up appearances and keep up the maniacal image established by Al, Trent, and Alec. However, Halford did a more convincing job of this on ultimate Priest-cheese like "Night Crawler." As Voyeurs drifts into "Down in the Ground," the poorly assumed S/M veil of the first six tracks gives way to good, grinding, electronica-inflected, melodic songs…bordering on pop. On "Down in the Ground" and "Hey Sha-La-La," Two find a suitable pairing of "Hell Bent for Leather" and "Kinda I Want To," without sounding like Priest or Nails. I'd recommend the CD to those who want a Two album, not another Judas Priest or Nine Inch Nails album. Such listeners ought not to mind a little experimentation — even if it runs off the cheese meter now and again. If you'd like another Judas Priest album, I submit to you the near-artifact "Demolition," where Priest try to be something they're not with a singer whose vocals merely ape those of the greatest heavy metal voice of them all.
Great, great CD ( Wish Rob and Trent would collaborate again). Bought it for "I Am A Pig" and was pleased that the rest was just as good. Fans of Metal/Industrial/Darkwave will enjoy this work.
Here's something I found strange. We have Rob Halford, the famous frontman of Judas Priest in a band called Two. He's signed to Trent Reznor's record label "Nothing." His guitar player is John Lowery who once played with David Lee Roth (on the album "DLR Band") and then Marilyn Manson (as John5). Oh and his voice is almost unrecognizable. That's a complaint I see frequently in the reviews for this album and I want to say…Halford has always been pretty good at changing what his voice sounds like. Listen to the songs "Hellbent for Leather," "Breaking the Law," and "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" and listen to how different his voice sounds in each song. Well, anyways…This album, to me, sounded like Nine Inch Nails material (without the main topic of "sex") as far as music, and occasionally lyrically it did too. That combined with Lowery's ace guitar playing and Halford's sometimes creepy vocals make this album a little different than other material you've previously heard but just as good. Don't hesitate to listen to this album or even buy it for that matter. This CD is awesome.
1. I Am a Pig-5/5-The vocals don't sound that much like Rob Halford, this song is awesome. The song is pretty catchy and his voice does sound good. The beat is very cool as well.
2. Stutter Kiss-4/5-This song is pretty good, but could've been shorter.
3. Water's Leaking-5/5-This song is awesome. Halford sings some of the lines in a way that struck me as annoying, but looking past that…
4. My Ceiling's Low-5/5-Despite the strange title, this song is great.
5. Leave Me Alone-5/5-Another good song. Certain lyrics seem to pertain to the fact that he's gay. And if I'm not mistaken, he did come out just around the time this album came out.
6. If-5/5-Slower than the previous songs but very cool.
7. Deep in the Ground-5/5-One of the best songs on the album. The keyboards and sythesizers on this song are really good.
8. Hey, Sha La La-5/5-This song is extremely catchy.
9. Wake Up-5/5-Sounds a bit like some of the other songs on the album, but it's still good.
10. Gimp-5/5-I find the title ironic (you might as well if you've ever seen "Pulp Fiction) but the song's good.
11. Bed of Rust-5/5-Another really good song. The atmosphere of it is perfect.
Sounds great with Rob's work mixed with Trents work. This album is great. The lyrics are straight to your face and heavy with a sort of industrial backbeat that carries the songs through. Pick this album up if you like Halford. He has yet, to record an album that is not worthy in my book.

Notes: Brewers to open with 12 pitchers
LHP Phelps survives final cut; Durrington sent to Triple-A;
MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers made a last-minute decision to carry 12 pitchers into Opening Day instead of 11, meaning utility man Trent Durrington will start the season at Triple-A Nashville.As expected, the Brewers reassigned veteran pitcher Rick Helling and catcher Pat Borders to minor league camp. The final roster spot was essentially up for grabs between Durrington, a utility infielder with speed, and Tommy Phelps, a left-handed relief pitcher. "With all of the left-handed hitters with Pittsburgh and Chicago, we thought we would take the extra left-handed pitcher to go with [Jorge] De La Rosa," manager Ned Yost said. The Brewers open their 36th season with a pair of games in Pittsburgh beginning Monday, then travel to Chicago for three more games next weekend. Had the team opted to stick with 11 pitchers, an idea that was batted around during the final days of camp in Arizona, a 12th pitcher likely would have been added a week or two into the season. Still, Durrington was disappointed. "If they want me I'll be ready," said Durrington, who batted .290 in Spring Training games. "It's just one of those things. It's just disappointing. Any time you get sent down it stinks. I'm going to go down and wait for an opportunity." The Brewers' 25-man roster includes 12 pitchers, two catchers, nine infielders and four outfielders. Three non-roster invitees made the cut: Phelps, infielder Jeff Cirillo and outfielder Chris Magruder. Unfinished business: The Brewers will wait until Sunday to line up their starting pitchers behind No. 1 Ben Sheets and No. 2 Doug Davis. That means right-hander Victor Santos, the presumptive No. 3 going into what was at times a rough Spring Training, could slip on the depth chart. Santos improved his stock on Saturday when he allowed just one run in six solid innings of an exhibition win over the White Sox, and Yost confirmed Saturday that his rotation would consist of Sheets and Davis followed by some order of Santos, Chris Capuano and Gary Glover. Capuano breezed to a 1.08 ERA in a team-best 25 innings during the spring and has a good shot of moving up to No. 3. The decision is about more than semantics; the Brewers' starter for the Cubs' home opener on Friday, April 8 is still undetermined, and whoever wins the No. 3 starter's spot will get five starts in April. The No. 4 starter, meanwhile, will get only four April starts and the No. 5 man will start three games all month because of off-days. If Capuano does indeed jump up to the third spot behind Davis, the Brewers would have their two lefties back-to-back in the rotation. Yost does not see that as a problem. "I just think that they're totally different pitchers," Yost said. "Cappy focuses down and away [and throws a] fastball, changeup and a back-door slider occasionally to bust a guy in. Doug works in with the cutter and with the high fastball." Capuano pitched seven shutout innings in his final Cactus League start, and has been healthy this spring. As a rookie last season, he was limited to 17 starts by quadriceps, triceps and elbow injuries.

3.95/5 rDev +2.1%
from cask at my local
A - clear dark amber-brown; some foam and light lacing
S - impact from the ale yeast is noticeable, with fruitiness and malt with hints of chocolate and nut aromas; hops are minimal
T - has a tight malt profile; more fruitiness, very little bittering, some chocolate, nuts, wisp of smoke,
M - excellent on hand-pump, but it is a little lean textured
D - very easy to drink; the low abv lends it to sessions

3.78/5 rDev -2.3%
On cask, via hand pump, @ the Sly Fox Brewing Company (Phoenixville, PA) on 12/19/10. Served in a 10 oz Pils glass. This is there new English Porter brewed exclusively for the handpumps at the Phoenixville location.
Pours a deep clear amber, with a thin covering tight looking and slightly off-white colored head. This retains with some foaminess around the edges and some thin wisps that float in the center of the glass, leaving back some light spotty lacing. The aroma is sweet and sticky with notes of toffee and cocoa, as well as a dash of coffee character, some roasted nuts, and some pronounced earthy fruit.
The taste is caramel sweetness, a splash of chocolate malts, and then a touch of dry roast. Once again, there is that pronounced fruitiness, with is actually coming off as a little dark at times. Balancing earthy hops stretch out across the profile and linger in the finish with some light nuttiness. The mouthfeel is surprisingly light in the mouth. There is a touch of crispness at times but this is very silky overall and is bordering on watery at times. This is probably one of the lightest bodies on a beer that I've felt in a while.
This was a decent stab at an English Porter, with a well balanced blend of malt, fruit, and hops giving this some complexity and flavor. The only drawback for me was the overly weak body on cask but even that wasn't a huge issue. This was quite accessible and drinkable and the sub 5% ABV was spot-on for keeping this sessionable.

Exclusive Interview: Writer/Director Kyle Patrick Alvarez on Sundance 2013 Film 'C.O.G.'
As the Sundance Film Festival continues in Park City, we continue our series of interviews with the writers of the Sundance 2013 U.S. Dramatic Competition films. Today, we present our interview with Kyle Patrick Alvarez, writer/director of C.O.G., based on a short story by author and storyteller David Sedaris. C.O.G. (which stands for "Child of God") marks the first adaptation of a Sedaris story to film – or more importantly, the first time Sedaris has given a filmmaker permission to adapt one of his stories to film. During our interview, Alvarez describes adapting a story from one of the most distinctive storytellers of our time, how his experiences with his first feature film shaped his approach to this project, and what Sundance means to him now after getting rejected with his first feature film.

09:15-09:55 Keynote – Maintaining curiosity – why and how: Stuart Naylor
Stuart Naylor is a Director of Millgate House Education. His main roles are running courses for teachers in the UK and internationally, consultancy, writing new publications and research.
Primary (A1) Improving progress in Primary Science: Liz Lawrence
The new National Curriculum provides an ideal opportunity for Schools to review, revise and revitalize their approach to Primary Science. This interactive session, building on key messages from Maintaining Curiosity, will explore how teachers can adapt their planning to focus on key scientific ideas and skills, and develop learning sequences which will ensure that outcomes are achieved and progress monitored – without levels!
Primary (A2) Light - think it, talk it, be it, understand it: Jason Harding
In this session we will explore how several methods have been used to help pupils understand the concept 'Light' through a creative curriculum topic. Speaking as an expert, kinaesthetic models,modelling and written explanations will all be explored and explained. Participants will leave with a pack of resources and our teaching and learning cycle rational specifically related to the context of teaching 'Light'.
Cross phase (A3) AfL in Science classroom: Chris Harrison
Its now 15 years since Inside the Black Box indicated the way that teachers should use assessment to promote and support learning. This session will look back over the last 15 years and see what lessons have been learnt about classroom assessment and reflect on how innovative teachers have utilised the power of AfL in their classrooms. It will then look forward into our new national curriculum and think about how we might use AfL to ensure we keep our focus on learning.
Secondary (A4) Update on A level and GCSE:OCR
This session provide a generic update on the GCSE reforms in science and the redeveloped A levels. Followed by an update on how OCR are responding and what we are currently proposing for our new science qualifications.
Secondary (A5) Practical work – what is the point?: Richard Needham
Since the ASE's Getting Practical project, there have been many developments around the use of practical work in teaching and learning science. It has become the focus of attention for many within science education and this is leading to a better understanding of the 'what', 'how' and 'why', but also highlighting concerns about assessment and resourcing. This session takes an in depth look at one practical activity to explore some of these issues. It also explains different ways the activity can be used in teaching, to focus on different learning outcomes.
11:00-11:30 Coffee and Exhibition
Primary (B1) Cup cake science: Steve Marshall
This session will explore this latest phenomenon within our science lessons. Using cup cake cups for investigating, making cupcakes in classroom for science and even decorating as a way of stimulating pupil recording creatively . Come and be challenged and relaxed. Even a chance to taste.
Primary (B2) GET OUT: Naomi Hiscock
The new curriculum provides a greater emphasis for teachers to take science learning outside the classroom. This session will explore the opportunities that teachers can build into their curriculum for different phases and considers the implications for implementing outdoor learning.
Cross phase (B3) Science teaching: what works?: Stuart Naylor
The research evidence about what makes teaching effective is becoming increasingly secure. This thought provoking session lifts the lid on what realy works in the classroom. It draws on extensive research evidence, but focuses on the practicalities of science teaching and learning. This is what you need to know about evidence-based teaching.
Secondary (B4) Marking and feedback: making it as easy as 1, 2, 3: Doug Cremin
In this discussion about marking and feedback we will think about embedding marking in to your planning, strategies to turn marking in to a low energy, high impact task and how to ensure pupils engage with feedback.

In 2011, the Detroit Tigers advanced to the ALCS, and a big reason was Victor Martinez. The designated hitter and occasional catcher batted .330 with an .850 OPS, or, if you prefer, a 132 OPS+. The Tigers were again looking for Martinez to help lead them to the playoffs in 2012.
So this news comes as a devastating blow. From Jason Beck:
Tigers announce Victor Martinez has suffered torn ACL. Surgery would likely sideline him for the season.
More, from Eric Fisher:
Tigers say Victor Martinez tore ACL during offseason conditioning and could be lost for '12. Break for rest of AL Central?
Martinez has not yet been declared officially out for the season. He still needs to be re-evaluated, and even if he has surgery, he could potentially return towards the end of the year. But this is bad news. Really really bad news.
The big question that you can't avoid is, where do the Tigers go from here? How will the Tigers fill this hole? With Martinez under contract through 2014 and Miguel Cabrera under contract through 2015, they can't commit themselves to a long-term 1B/DH. There are a number of shorter-term DH candidates available on the free agent market, like Johnny Damon, Vladimir Guerrero and Hideki Matsui. They could trade for Bobby Abreu. They could intensify their pursuit of Yoenis Cespedes, or some other outfielder, in order to move Delmon Young to DH.
The Tigers have options. They'll still be a good team. But without Victor Martinez, they'll probably be less of a good team. The opportunity door in the AL Central is open just a little wider than it was before.

A word from Bistrot La Minette
Bistrot La Minette is the realization of Chef Peter Woolsey's dream that began a decade ago during his earliest days studying in France: to create a restaurant that would share his love of the authentic bistrot experience with his fellow Philadelphians. Chef Peter pays great respect to the traditional dishes that he creates and honors the classical French methods required to achieve unparalleled bistrot cuisine. Both savory and pastry menus are ever evolving to reflect the seasons, the availability of the best ingredients and the inspiration of the chef. They are drawn from the various regions of France and the multitude of delicacies that each has to offer. The service is both efficient and warm, rooted in a foundation of hospitality and caring for our guests. Our goal is for Bistrot La Minette to be accessible to all guests that enjoy superb food and wine, and the company of their companions: hoping to evoke their best memories-or dreams-of traditional French bistrot dining.Continued

- C'est bien!TeaHouseDined on 8/19/2014Had a lovely meal with friends. I especially enjoyed the delicately fresh heirloom tomatoes and the grilled sardines. Service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Paris dining in Philly...AmazingDined on 8/16/2014Great find with this place, the embiance brings you back to a small corner cafe in Paris overlooking the busy streets while the food amazes with each delectable bite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- French gem!GrandMamanDined on 8/16/2014This bistro offers an authentic Parisian bistro experience, from the attentive service, to the perfect baguette bread basket, the wine list, and inventive but approachable menu. I had the rabbit which was exquisite and the rest of my family had the asparagus tart and the duck. All delicious. We were accompanied by an energetic two-year old and the waiters were extremely accommodating. Will definitely be back!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/12/2014Authentic French bistro food, perfectly prepared, so don't expect a quick meal or oversize portions--just enough; service appropriately attentiveSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Paris in PhiladelphiaBruinsportDined on 8/12/2014Outstanding dinner--been about a year since I went to Paris, and was feeling the need for some solid French fare...this place was more than solid--the duck confit was like sitting in a cafe in St Germain; the escargot was sublime. And LOVE the French cocktails...HIGHLY RECOMMEND!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tasty, fun and relaxedSteveDined on 8/8/2014The food and service are very good. This is a great neighborhood bistro serving fresh and delicious French bistro food. The rabbit in mustard sauce is succulent and savory and paired really well with pinot noir. Tomato tart to kick off the evening was fresh and bursting with flavor. Inventive cocktails and food that adventurous kids would love.Special Features:
- Great escape to Paris right in PhilDevilsAdvocateDined on 8/7/2014First time at Bistrot La Minette, wasn't exactly sure what to expect not having heard anything about it previously; but definitely exceeded almost all of my expectations. Service was fast, efficient and courteous and needless to say the food was simply outstanding. My date ordered the special Provence four course meal (with the chef's wine pairings) which was simply perfect; and I ordered off the 'regular' menu which is anything but. The foie gras is not to be missed, the lapin entrée is out of this world and even their bread baked on premises is tremendous. Another good observation, of the people seated within earshot we were in the minority speaking American English. Several French and European couples were there on a Thursday night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best French Gourmet in PhillymgiornoDined on 8/6/2014The wife and I had the Provencal dinner on Aug. 6th and it was to die for. The escargot with bone marrow, garlic, oil and anchiove was a savory flavor that is almost addictive. This was paired with a light peach colored rose that was oddly well-suited to mix with the flavors of the escargot. This was the first plate and it could have also been my entire meal. The cod with haricot vert served cold with a delicate mustard mayonnaise sauce was a perfect match. The third plate, oxtail with veggies in a reduction, melted in my mouth and achieved the rich flavor that Provencal is known for. It was paired with a very dry red wine with a heavy aroma. The dessert was a baked custard with cherries topped with creme anglais.Special Features:
- Second Time aroundMitchdishVIPDined on 8/5/2014I had absolutely loved my meal on Bastille Day so I brought 2 couples back. Unfortunately, the AC was broken. The food was still excellent, but I thought the staff should have made an accommodation for the lack of AC and the service this time was not really good, the wine I wanted was out of stock and it took a very long time to get our main order. I'll perhaps try again in the fall when AC won't be an issue.Special Features:
- great jobmsharfmanDined on 8/3/2014This is a lovely albeit small bistro with well prepared dishes made from high quality ingredients.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful French in PhillyBrianVIPDined on 8/2/2014We have been to Bistrot La Minette three times now, and the food has always been impeccable. The French menu is fun and and the dishes are always beautifully assembled. The ambience is elegant but casual, and the staff reflect this attitude. Small outdoor dining area is very cute, but can be noisy depending on traffic.Special Features:
- Lovely suprisedirtbikemikeDined on 8/2/2014My girlfriend and I visited for her birthday. The staff were all very nice the other patrons were wonderful as well and and the meal was phenomenal from the appetizers to the dessert Would definitely go back. Highly recommend giving them a try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a great meal.SkywalkerDined on 8/2/2014My girlfriend and I love dining here. The food is always remarkable, the wine is excellent, and the ambiance and service are quite good. We had the tartare and foie gras for appetizers, and they were spectacular. Sometimes their appetizers are so good it ruins the meal, but not in this case. My girlfriend had the special (Halibut) that was flaky and delicious. I tried the rabbit, served with pasta and it was delectable. The meat fell off the bone and the sauce was spectacular. We topped it off with the raspberry puff pastry and creme desert, which was okay but not spectacular. We have had their creme brulee before which was better. But overall, simply excellent.Special Features:
- lightning rodOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/27/2014cannot beat the $29 4-course prix fixe that included excellent buttery/garlicky snails and a tasty, tender lamb stew. Excellent service.Special Features:
- A perfect date!eah85Dined on 7/25/2014It's classic, timeless french decoration with a beautiful outdoor seating area. The restaurant was full, but the noise level never got above a pleasant murmur, so hearing conversation was no trouble at all. Now for the service. Not only did they perfectly fill a special request that made her night, but their wait staff was one of the most professional I've ever seen. They were impeccably dressed, knowledgeable, casually-friendly and made sure that our dinner was an enjoyable experience. Service was quick and timed perfectly. A gift puff pastry from the chef to boot!Special Features:
- Very good french cuisineEstroVIPDined on 7/25/2014Overall it was a very good french cuisine experience. the dishes were good and fresh, the service was spot on (but a little slow sometimes). Not your daily regular dinner. definitely for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New DiscoveryArnonGVIPDined on 7/19/2014Really enjoyed our weekend dinner. Been wanting to eat here for a long time and finally made it. Very glad we did. We both had a delightful French meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bistrot so-soBallyaughlisDined on 7/19/2014The Bistrot was having an off night for us last Saturday. All three entrees were passable, but not up to the Bistrot's usual standard. In addition, the service was fitful, then intrusive. PLEASE stop your waiters descending unbidden to top up water glasses from the bottle on the table. If the bottle is on the table, the guests are quite capable of topping up their own glasses in their own time. Except for outstanding desserts, the evening was not up to the Bistrot's usual standards. However, we will be back, filled with optimism.I would recommend this to a friend.
- shedinesVIPDined on 7/19/2014Went here to get in the mood for an up-coming trip to Paris. The food was very good and the European charm of the décor enhanced our experience. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable and hospitable. Overall this was a delightful experience for our entire party.Special Features:
- Wonderful night-GREAT FOOD.WewillgoagainDined on 7/17/2014We had a most enjoyable nightand and the food was exceptional. Really worth the drive at 5 on a week night. There were four of us and we each had a different meal with appetizers and dessert. All of it was fabulous. I highly recommend this restaurant! Compliments to the chef and the staff. Everything was spectacular.Special Features:
- Fierce FrenchPhillythropistVIPDined on 7/14/2014This place is mind blowing. From the gougeres at the outset to the hand-made chocolates adorning your bill at the end, and every little single delectable in between--garlicky escargot, boeuf bourguinon, pillowy scalloped potatoes, and the bread! Just go. Sit on the red banquets in the prettiest yellow dining room with an open kitchen and let them blow your mind.Special Features:
- Back in FranceMitchdishVIPDined on 7/14/2014Having recently been to France I was itching for a renewed taste. La Minette's celebration of Bastille Day did exactly that. The food was excellent, even better than Paris! Thecwait staff was attentive without fawning and the second course buffet was lovely, particularly the confitte. I'll be returning soonSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FrenchyDined on 7/14/2014I am never dissapointed when I go here. They always have an authentic scrumptious Bastille menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Vive la FranceJohnnyDeeVIPDined on 7/13/2014Great Bastille Day menu/ price excellent variety of salads and entree choices. Delicious food. Have been here several times, love this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappointsSherzVIPDined on 7/13/2014We went for their Bastille Day special menu, and as always, it was great. This is a little French Bistro right in Bella Vista. From the decor to the French cafe songs to the food, it's a comfy, homey, around-the-corner kind of place. The food is always great. Don't be put off by the fact that it's French food -- it's not smothered in cream sauce or anything like that; more like country French home cooking. I got the simple roast chicken - it was perfect, a touch of tarragon in the sauce served on the side, and moist and tender. My companion ordered the salmon - moist, perfectly cooked. The potatoes au gratin are to die for! Don't skip dessert. We'll be back - again and again, and again.Special Features:
- great placeBillybudDined on 7/12/2014everything was very good. I had mussels they were out standing escargot also very good went for our 39 anniversary we were not disappointed. Service christina very helpful and pleasant. All and all great dinning experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1psuVIPDined on 7/10/2014Food and service-excellent. Ambiance was too European for me. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.Special Features:
- Totally French!FoodLionessVIPDined on 7/9/2014I thought I wandered into France the other night at Bistrot La Minette, from the menu (escargots!) to the unisex toilettes with a single shared sink. No roller towels, but cloth towels. Buttery Bibb lettuce salad dressed with a perfect mustard vinaigrette, spring pea soup intensely green, grilled sardines. Despite the intriguing wine list, we shared an utterly drinkable house white. A mini-vacation so close to home.Special Features:
- A night to rememberSchpsychmanDined on 7/7/2014What can I say? Went for my birthday with my daughter on a Monday evening. Asked if the chef could do a tasting menu (even though they don't normally on weekdays), he (I take it the sous chef, as the head chef was not there) gladly obliged and we had an incredible 5-course tasting menu that was out of this world. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and paired wines with each course that were perfect. They even gave us some chocolates to take home. Two hours of pure bliss. The atmosphere is gorgeous as well, an old building perfectly restored as a French bistro. I can't recommend Bistrot La Minette enough, one of the better meals I've had in Philly and up there with the likes of Will, Sbraga, and Farm and the Fisherman. GO!Special Features:
- ExcellentjammyDined on 7/6/2014Escargot. Lamb shank. Braised rabbit with tagliatelle (will order again on next visit). The very best service - professional and warm, not too chatty. Can't wait to return, this time for dessert as well.Special Features:

- Summer menuOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/5/2014We ate here the first night of their summer menu. The lamb with ratatouille was by far the best meal I've ever had! Too bad my boyfriend ordered it and not me. I kept stealing bites from his plate. My cobia was also wonderful. Service was excellent: friendly and knowledgeable. We'd go back in a heartbeat if it wasn't so expensive!Special Features:
- Great place to dineOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/5/2014Brunch was a great dining experience. The menu was varied enough to suit all of us. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The prefix menu was affordable and very delicious. We have been here many times and it just keeps getting better.Special Features:
- Outstanding ExperienceMusicalMegDined on 7/4/2014Bistrot La Minette is a phenomenal establishment. My fiancé and I had our anniversary dinner there on July 4th, and I cannot express how much we enjoyed the entire dining experience. I have always deeply loved French cuisine, but my fiancé had never partaken in it's greatness. All I can say is "Thank you, Bistrot" for living up to and exceeding my expectations and for making my fiancé love French food as much as I do! Our server was very attentive, the ambience is incredibly charming, and the food was transcendental. Cannot wait to return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beauty and tastemashaDined on 6/29/2014Beautifully lit, nice ambiance,wonderful place to enjoy delicate tastes, hearty food, and French wine. Toast with mussels and eggs was delicious.

- A true French bistro experiencelive2danceVIPDined on 6/28/2014My date and I were looking for a French restaurant and we couldn't have picked a better place. I had the asparagus salad with lardons as an appetizer and the roast chicken. The lardons were crispy and delicious; the asparagus was perfectly cooked. The roast chicken were perfectly tender with a sweet/savory sauce that was complex on the palate. The selections of kirs was interesting; I chose the ginger kir royale and I was pleasantly surprised at how light and drinkable it was. One of the best items on the menu was free. The french bread which is made in-house may have been the best I have had outside of France.Special Features:
- Paris in the cityQueenMJDined on 6/28/2014We have been to many bistros in Paris, this is very close. The food and décor. The service much better than Paris. Will be back again and again.Special Features:
- Nice BistrotraveldinerVIPDined on 6/28/2014A small narrow bistro style restaurant with great food. The décor is very plain, but the food isn't. The foies gras special was delicious. Their muscle and egg appetizer was incredible. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the salmon and I had the beef short rib which was essentially a wonderful French beef stew. The wait staff was very attentive, friendly, and offered great suggestions. We would go back.Special Features:
- Outstanding!BuzzaDined on 6/26/2014Hadn't been to Bistrot for a year or more while I tried all the new French bistro style restaurants in the city. Then last week I met a friend for dinner at Bistrot La Minette. Amazing meal, fabulous service, and beautiful, truly French-like bistro setting. Wonderful to rediscover this bistro that's the real thing. Now I'll be a regular!Special Features:

Reviews for Easy Chicken and Dumplings
Sort By :
This was a big hit with my family easy to fix and taste is great.
This recipe was loved by my husband and my two picky girls! I used carrot, onions and peas in my recipe.
I had four cups of rotisserie chicken in my freezer that I wanted to make good use of, and this brutal, unending winter makes me yearn for comfort foods. I searched the internet and came across this recipe, which I followed with the exception of the chicken amount. It turned out great! Very filling and satisfying! Definitely a keeper.
Easy and tastey. Perfect comfort food for a chilly night. I like to add additional veggies, whatever I have, sometimes even frozen mixed veggies.
I have made this recipe and one that uses refridgerated biscuits and cream of chicken soup. My children and husband all liked this recipe better. I did not use the vegetables because my kids will not eat their veggies if I put them in a casserole or soup.

Man, 49, dies following A356 crash near Crewkerne
Updated 10:21am Saturday 25th January 2014 in News By News reporter
A 49-YEAR-OLD man has died following a three-vehicle pile-up near Crewkerne.
Police say the crash happened just after 5pm yesterday (January 24) at Turnpike Cross on the A356, between the A303 and Crewkerne.
It involved a Vauxhall Corsa, a Renault Scenic and a Ford Transit van. The driver of the Corsa, a 49-year-old man from the local area, died in the collision.

iOS 7 is now available for download
Biggest redesign of iOS since the iPhone's initial launch
The latest iteration of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS 7, launches today, Sept. 18th.
Apple broke the news during its special press conference last week, hosted at its headquarters in Cupertino, California. iOS 7 was initially revealed back in June at the tech giant's annual WWDC press conference.
iOS 7 is a complete re-imagining of the iOS operating system and will work with the iPhone and iPad. This update will be supported by the iPhone 4, 4s, 5, iPod touch 4G ,5G, iPad 2, 3, 4 and Mini.
The update is free, boasts over 200 new features and is the biggest redesign of Apple's often-copied mobile operating since the iPhone's initial launch.
"It's almost like getting an entirely new device," said Apple's senior vice president of engineering Craig Federighi during the press conference.
iOS 7 will also finally give us the ability to connect a dedicated game controller to the console. If dedicated iPhone controllers catch on (and they probably will), iOS 7 could change the face of mobile gaming.
For a full list of iOS 7's features, check out the overview on their website. Apple also announced the iPhone 5S and plastic, colourful iPhone 5C during its special press conference today.
Lifehacker has a great list of apps currently optimised for iOS 7. Apple fans also tweeted their thoughts about the iOS 7 and It seems the response has been relatively positive from Apple faithful, although many people seem to be complaining about download times.
Twitter will suddenly fall silent in the next 30 minutes as everyone updates to #ios7—

Some would be downloaders are reporting that their iOS 7 downloads are actually failing. This could have something to do with the millions of people trying to download iOS 7 at once. Apple's servers are probably over loaded.
Oh… #ios7 http://t.co/PjFhk5OMOz—
