Colon PolypsEn Español (Spanish Version)
Colon polyps are growths on the lining of the colon or rectum. The colon and the rectum are parts of the large intestine, which is part of the digestive system.
The two most common kinds of polyp are adenomatous polyps and hyperplastic polyps. Adenomatous polyps can become larger over time and may develop into cancer. Hyperplastic polyps do not increase in size and only rarely become cancerous.
Colon Polyp
© 2008 Nucleus Medical Art, Inc.
The cause of colon polyps is unknown but it may be partly hereditary. Also, there is a genetic condition called polyposis coli that is characterized by the occurrence of thousands of adenomatous polyps throughout the bowel.
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition.
Risk factors for colon polyps include:
- Age: over 50 years
- Family members with colon polyps or colon cancer
- History of colorectal cancer (or cancer of the large intestine)
Symptoms are often not present and the polyps are only found during an endoscopy or x-ray. If symptoms are present, they can include:
- Rectal bleeding
- Anemia
- Diarrhea , constipation , and/or bloating that lasts over a period of time
- Abdominal pain, rarely
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history and perform a physical exam. Tests may include:
- Digital rectal exam—the doctor inserts a gloved finger into the rectum to feel for polyps.
- Stool test—a sample of your stool is checked for blood.
- Sigmoidoscopy—a thin, lighted, flexible tube is inserted into the rectum to examine the rectal area and the lower colon.
- Colonoscopy—a thin, lighted, flexible tube (longer than a flexible sigmoidoscopy tube) is inserted in the anus and used to view the entire colon.
- Barium enema and X-ray—a barium fluid is injected into the colon and rectum. Several x-rays are taken; the barium makes your colon show up on x-ray
- Biopsy—a sample of tissue is removed for testing to determine whether the polyp is adenomatous or hyperplastic and to check for the presence of cancer cells.
Depending on the size of the polyp, it may be removed. Large polyps are at high risk for becoming cancerous and should be removed. Usually, polyps can be removed by colonoscopy . Before a colonoscopy, you will be given laxatives to clean out your bowel and you may be sedated. Then a thin, lighted, flexible tube is passed through the rectum and into the colon. The polyps can be cut out through the tube using a wire.
If the polyps are very large, you may need to have surgery to have them removed. Your doctor may send the tissue from the removed polyps to be tested for cancerous or precancerous cells.
It's not clear how polyps can be prevented. However, the following guidelines can help you stay healthy and may help prevent not only polyps but also colon cancer:
- Eat a diet high in fiber with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
- Minimize the amount of animal fat in your diet. This occurs in beef and other meat products as well as full-fat dairy products.
- Exercise regularly.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Don't smoke.
- See your doctor for regular screenings after the age of 50.
- More frequent screenings may be warranted if polyps are found

Funny you should ask this now, I'm working on my handout on canvaswork (needlepoint).

Ā

My handy chart says all 3 ply in tent stitch.ĀHowever, it says 2 for 12 count, so I see some flexibility in there. An upright stitch, though, I'd say 3.Ā

Ā

I always separate and re-combine (just like with cotton floss and silk).

Ā

One thing I learned the hard way to do -- that preliminary test? Do it with all the colors.Ā For instance, I often find that black needs less than many of the lighter colors for decent coverage.

Ok, back to lurking for me.

I'm about to start a needlepoint/tapestry project. I will be working this on size 10 mesh canvas-- which I haven't used in quite a while. I will be using Paternayan tapestry wool.

Should I use all 3 strands, or 2? I tend to "work tight" -- which I am going to try not to do! A preliminary test showed me that 2 strands will work OK.

I tried Googling "needlepoint FAQ" and found answers to just about everything but this. Help!

text: DVD Review: Killshot by Christian Toto 4 May 2009 post a comment Share This: Something must be seriously wrong with "Killshot," the straight-to-video flick starring the resurgent Mickey Rourke. The movie features not just Rourke, but rising star Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Diane Lane, Rosario Dawson and Thomas Jane - reputable actors, all. And it's under the direction of John Madden ("Shakespeare in Love"), working from an Elmore Leonard story. And it still rocketed past every movie theater save one in Arizona earlier this year, netting a measly $18,000? The film, heading to DVD May 26, deserved a better fate. Sure, it's not as snarky as a great Leonard adaptation like "Get Shorty," but it's vigorously entertaining and another sign Rourke's artistic rebound is the real deal - even if the film was shot before the actor's comeback saga started. The ex-"Wrestler" plays Blackbird, a killer for hire who shot one too many people on his latest assignment. Now, it's his turn to run, but a chance encounter with a puffed-up thug named Richie (Gordon Levitt) stops him cold. The kid reminds him of his own little brother who died during a botched hit when he didn't follow his older brother's professional code. Hit men take said codes very seriously. Richie is all mouth and attitude, but he touches something inside the hardnosed hit man. Their paths end up crossing a separated couple (Diane Lane and Thomas Jane) trying to see if their marriage deserves a second chance. The storylines here need more room to breathe, but they aren't the main attraction in "Killshot." It's the fine cast, an eclectic assortment of stars who rise above the narrative gaps. The weakest link might be Gordon Levitt, working so hard against type the cords stand out in his neck. Yet somehow the performance still clicks, mostly because he shares his scenes with Rourke. The former '80s mainstay finds another role uniquely suited to his battered visage. He's playing Hollywood's latest cliché, the conflicted hit man, but Rourke finds the humanity - and danger - lurking within the stale concept. "Killshot" sounds like a grade-B thriller right down to its cheesy title, and its DVD debut only reinforces that impression. But the format's lower expectations, and a cast worthy of a theatrical release, provide some unexpected rewards. "The Informers," a drama with a similar grade of actors, earned a wide theatrical release last month. So why couldn't the far superior "Killshot" get the same level of respect?

Mark Dion, creator of installations around the world, addresses Lesley University's Strauch-Mosse Visiting Artist Lecture Series
Wednesday, October 30, 2013
He undertakes massive projects that have included excavating along the Thames River in London, sifting through sludgy silt dredged from Venice canals, and unpacking the architectural history of Buffalo, New York, to name a few.
The renowned installation artist gave a talk to a large audience in the Rabb Auditorium at the Boston Public Library on Tuesday night, presented by Lesley University's Strauch-Mosse Visiting Artist Lecture Series.
Dion's work has been on display this fall as part of Lesley's "Beyond the Wunderkammer" exhibit in the Lesley University College of Art and Design Main Gallery in Kenmore Square, which concludes today. The exhibit is a modern version of the 16th-century wunderkammers, or cabinets of curiosities, which have inspired Dion in his career.
"These cabinets are the world in a box, diminutive gatherings of all the material culture available at the time," Dion explained during the lecture. "They're meant to be kind of a microcosm, which I think is an absolutely fascinating idea."
For endeavors such as his work in Venice or along the Thames, Dion doesn't create art out of thin air. He spends months of meticulous work culling objects, cleaning them, classifying and organizing them, and ultimately displaying them, whether it's a Renaissance-era shoe and Roman-era pottery, or a voodoo doll and broken glass bottle necks.
"I want to put things together in an almost childlike way. I want to be that proverbial Martian, and I try to imagine that this is not my culture," said Dion, who has won numerous awards including the Smithsonian Contemporary Artist Award. "I also want to play with your expectations of what you get out of an exhibition or a museum."
Dion has exhibited at major museums and created installations around the world.
"How my work happens is that I'm brought to a place and I try to respond to that," said Dion. "For me, the driving force behind all of my work is place, location, what's available here, and what are the materials here.
"That response can come from architecture of an institution, it can come from the social history," Dion mused.
"I'm always looking for eccentric people that typify – or are exceptional – within a place. So that place is my medium, that's why it tells me what to do."
'The museum needs to turn itself inside out'
During a wide-ranging talk, Dion discussed a number of projects and exhibits he has created, including an exhibit at the Natural History Museum in London that incorporated a makeshift laboratory to examine a varied collection of insects gathered by driving down the longest road in the city of London with a sticky protrusion on the roof of the car.
"My frustration with natural history museums is that all the cool, sexy stuff goes on in the background, and nowhere is that more true than at the British museum," Dion reflected. "The museum needs to turn itself inside out, and that's what I'm trying to do in an exhibit like this. I think people want to be inspired by what scientists actually do."
That thread runs through Dion's work, including a large-scale exhibit at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, in which he dug into the museum's storage rooms and cabinets to create an unusual and eclectic representation of aspects of the vast collection, most of which never make it into the public eye.
This included sea creatures, jewelry made from natural objects, publications from many periods, and explorer Jacques Cousteau's model for his research vessel Calypso.
"(The Oceanographic Museum of Monaco) recognizes it is no longer a cutting edge science museum and has become an institution of cultural heritage. But like all museums, it shows only 1 percent of what it actually has, and I wanted to bump that up to maybe 5 percent," said Dion. "This is where I look back at cabinets of curiosity and try to imagine a way forward."
At the start of his talk, Dion harkened back to Carl Linnaeus, the Swedish botanist, physician and naturalist who collected specimens from around the world and laid the foundation for our modern classification system. Dion has dedicated much of his career to identifying and classifying items and subjects using his own unconventional system and approach for each project.
Dion dedicated the lecture to renowned artist Rosamund Purcell, who attended the talk and whose work is also featured in the "Beyond the Wunderkammer" exhibit at Lesley.
Dion was introduced to the audience by Stacey Cushner, a 2010 MFA graduate of the Lesley University College of Art and Design. Stan Trecker, Dean of the Lesley University College of Art and Design, and Lesley President Joseph B. Moore welcomed the audience and Mark Dion, and acknowledged the generosity of Lesley Trustee Hans Strauch, the benefactor of this distinguished lecture series.
Prior to the lecture, on Tuesday afternoon, Dion visited the Lesley campus and met with students to talk about his work, his career, and his approach, and Trecker noted how inspirational he is to Lesley's students.
Mark Dion, a native of New Bedford, Mass., lives in Pennsylvania and teaches at Columbia University.
The Strauch-Mosse Visiting Artist Lecture Series, established through a $1 million gift by Lesley University Trustee Hans D. Strauch, enables Lesley to host locally, nationally, and internationally renowned artists for exhibitions lectures, promoting Lesley's dedication to cultural and artistic literacy.

Los Angeles Angels' Mike Trout hat giveaway promotion is awesome [Photo]
Mind blown? Because ours are.
The Los Angeles Angels will be giving away these insane hats in honor of superstar phenom Mike Trout ('trout' like a fish, get it? Get it?) during a June 18 home showdown against Seattle. It features — you guessed it — a trout head rising magnificently out from the front of the bad boy and should make for a fairly interesting day at the old ballpark.
All we can hope for is to start seeing a couple of these hats cropping up at Los Angeles nightclubs.

Write the things you know, not the things taught to you or shoved down your throat. Write the visceral things you have felt, experienced, witnessed, lived. I encounter too many writers for instance, who write the way the old white British men wrote—the ones whose words scrawled across our textbooks, especially if you are a writer from the British Caribbean. Those Caribbean writers would later recount how their first characters were white. And male. This happens in other places too, not just the Caribbean. Nigerian author, Chimamanda Adichie admits that she was once guilty of this as a novice writer. Junot Diaz recounted in a recent New York Times article that the literature in his MFA program at Cornell was dominated by mostly white males, some dead, some alive yet clutching pens that will forever be immortalized. I too had to learn this given that I grew up reading books that weren't about me or my experiences. However, it was Toni Morrison who once said that you have to write the stories you want to read. And in this city of writers, all panting forward for the biggest agents and literary journals and publishers, be assured that someone out there—be it someone who may not be all the above—will pick up your story, read it, and be inspired by it.
Brilliant works are never written in one sitting. If someone utters such nonsense, then perhaps they're lying. Or perhaps they might not be as brilliant. For Writers, good ones, tend to be humble. And for good reason. Because there is vulnerability in writing. Writing means you have to crack yourself open and expose yourself to the world. Each sentence, each word, is a labor of love, written with great care, handed over in blind faith of trust. Like new mothers we hold writing dare, clutched close to our hearts, too close, as to prevent them from being mangled, misinterpreted, destroyed by the world. But then we learn to let go, though still attached, forever pregnant with hopes that they will end up in good hands. Not many people can walk the earth exposed and not blush. Not when every blemish is visible to be scrutinized, stared at. Even if one thinks nakedness is the most empowering and beautiful thing. Gazes are subjective. The best bet is to try your best, put your heart and soul into writing, revise carefully, and send it out into the world. Be grateful and humble by the ability to even have a voice in the first place.
A voice. Not many are given voices. As a writer, your duty is to give a voice to the voiceless. Let this be your motivation. Every time you stare at the blank screen or blank page, terrified to write, crippled by what others might think, or crushed by a rejection letter; know that someone out there needs to hear what you have to say. Someone out there needs to know that they're not alone in a personal struggle. Someone out there needs to see themselves, their stories in books. Let your stories empower them. Just Write.
About Stuyvesant Writers Workshop:
Stuyvesant Writing Workshop understands that writing is lonely, and that every writer needs a safe space to share their work, have it critiqued by other serious writers, and discuss authors whose stories inspire them or whose techniques they can learn from. The workshop is geared towards the working professional who has always wanted to write, but never seems to have the time; the storyteller searching for a voice; the writer who would love an opportunity to form community outside the coffee shop in the neighborhood without having to venture to Park Slope or South Brooklyn. The workshop is facilitated by yours truly!
Stuyvesant Writing Workshop is affordable with four sessions for a total of $250. Classes run from June 24th- July 15th. Tuesday evenings, 6:30pm-8:30pm. To register, please email email@example.com. Like Stuyvesant Writing Workshop on Facebook. Or follow us on twitter at @StuyvesantW.

Cara, Jourdan, Edie and - wait - is that a Kardashian? Yes, it's true, Kendall Jenner stomped the Giles catwalk during London Fashion Week this evening and Grazia Daily was there to speak to the lady herself...
[Grazia_Live Instagram]
Grazia Daily: You're about to walk the Giles show, how are you feeling?
Kendall Jenner: I'm excited!
Grazia Daily: How did this come about?
Kendall Jenner: It's thanks to Katie Grand. She's amazing. She's been a great person to be around and I really appreciate her supporting me. I also love her bunny, Clara!
Grazia Daily: We last saw you at the Marc Jacobs show - what was your reaction when you found out you would be walking in his show?
Kendall Jenner: When I found out, I was at my model agency so my agents were trying to play a trick on me and pretend that it wasn't happening. Then they told me and made such a big deal out of it so we were celebrating for at least five minutes. It was amazing.

Grazia Daily: And how did you celebrate?
Kendall Jenner: We were jumping around and were so excited because it's one of my biggest dreams to be able to walk for shows like that, so it was an awesome day.
Grazia Daily: Was it nervewracking to walk for such a big show?
Kendall Jenner: I was a bit nervous but to be honest, I was less nervous than expected. I was really comfortable with the environment and the people around me so I felt really good about it. I thought I would be shaking but making friends with a lot of the models helped.

Grazia Daily: How does London Fashion Week differ to New York Fashion Week?
Kendall Jenner: Well, for a start, you drive on a different side of the road! But there are actually a lot of similarities. I was driving around today and saw a lot of apartment complexes which reminded me of New York. I love it here, it's awesome.
Grazia Daily: You've done two shows in the space of a week so is your focus catwalk modelling now?
Kendall Jenner: I just want to do anything! We shall see...

Grazia Daily: The pictures of you in US Vogue were great too - how did that come about?
Kendall Jenner: Umm, they called me, asked me to do it so I did it! That was also something I've long dreamed of doing.
Grazia Daily: You sat next to Anna Wintour at the Topshop show - what did you talk about?!
Kendall Jenner: She's amazing. Our flights both got diverted to Newcastle so we talked about that.
Kendall Jenner cosies up to Anna Wintour at Topshop [Getty]
Grazia Daily: Yes, what a drama! What did you do when you got to Newcastle?
Kendall Jenner: I drove right back here! [Laughs] I took a five-hour car journey back.
Grazia Daily: So will we see you in Milan and Paris, weather permitting?
Kendall Jenner: We'll see. Hopefully!

This week Russia told its former vassals in Central Asia to fall in line and support its position on Ukraine at the United Nations—or else. That's the claim of a Reuters report looking at the behind-the-scenes maneuvers ahead of the March 27 UN General Assembly resolution declaring Crimea's secession from Ukraine invalid.
Allegations that Moscow bullies its neighbors will be unsurprising in Central Asia, where Russia's economic and military clout still reign supreme, and stories abound of Russian special services manipulating the levers of power, especially in poorer places like Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
One hundred countries voted in favor of the resolution, 11 – mostly Russian allies – against. Fifty-eight abstained and 24 didn't show up for the vote. None of the Central Asian countries voted for the resolution. Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan were among the no-shows.
Russia condemned the vote, and criticized the "deep interference of a number of Western countries in Ukraine's affairs."
For certain, major powers often use carrots and sticks to buy votes at the UN. But Russia, according to the Reuters report, resorted to "political blackmail and economic threats."
According to interviews with U.N. diplomats, most of whom preferred to speak on condition of anonymity for fear of angering Moscow, the targets of Russian threats included Moldova, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan as well as a number of African countries.
According to interviews with U.N. diplomats, most of whom preferred to speak on condition of anonymity for fear of angering Moscow, the targets of Russian threats included Moldova, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan as well as a number of African countries.
Russia has hastened to assure its Central Asian allies that they will not be involved in any military moves in Ukraine, a sign that Moscow is aware of the growing worry about its new assertiveness.
The issue is the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the Russia-led post-Soviet security bloc that includes Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. The group thus far has seen a lot more talk than action, and plenty of questions remain about what it will actually do. On Monday, Kyrgyzstani MP Tursunbai Bakir Uulu expressed concern that the CSTO might embroil Kyrgyzstan in the conflict in Ukraine:
"The agreement was ratified, but before the events in Ukraine. I don't want to be a hostage to these agreements. You know, that the [Russian] Federation Council took a decision that, if the need arose, they could intervene militarily in Ukraine. If tomorrow war breaks out between Russia and Ukraine, we would be obliged to fight on Russia's side. We need to withdraw from these agreements so we don't get drawn into a war in Ukraine."
Last October, according to Kyrgyz accounts, Tajik soldiers crossed into disputed territory to repair an oil and gas well that a Tajik company had used since independence—pumping, by some estimates, 5 tons of oil a day. Kyrgyz border guards took notice, shut down the operation, and told the Tajiks to get lost.
Could that episode have led to a shootout between Tajik and Kyrgyz border guards near Ak-Sai on January 11? Both countries are starved for energy resources, so the idea they could fight over an oilfield seems plausible.
When Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan were all Soviet republics, their winding, undefined borders mattered little. But when Moscow's rule evaporated, the Soviets left an industrial legacy overlying the Fergana Valley's new borders: crisscrossing pipelines and derelict derricks in no man's land.
Since the 1970s, Soviet Tajikistan and then the Republic of Tajikistan had been pumping oil from the field, Katta-Tuz, which the Kyrgyz say is on disputed territory. "In August 2013 I told them to stop," recalls Kyrgyz Deputy Prime Minister Tokun Mamytov. "It's a big problem. […] The first problem is not the road, but oil and gas." (Mamytov's counterparts in Tajikistan refused to comment.)
While foreign military aid to the countries of Central Asia is unlikely to have a large impact on security in the region, it's unclear whether the positive effects will outweigh the negative ones. That's according to a comprehensive new report (pdf), "External Support for Central Asian Military and Security Forces," written by Dmitry Gorenburg for the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (and supported by the Open Society Foundations, which also funds EurasiaNet).
The 90-page paper is the most exhaustive accounting of military aid given to the Central Asian countries. While "Russia remains the main source of military and security assistance for most Central Asian states" the report also looks at American and other countries' military aid, Both the U.S. and Russian aid is based primarily on quid pro quos, Gorenburg argues: for Russia it is for the sake of "basing rights and a certain level of acquiescence on Russian foreign policy priorities" while for the U.S. it's been "assuring continued access for transferring supplies and personnel to Afghanistan."'
Gorenburg notes that the possibility of Central Asian militaries receiving excess U.S. military equipment from Afghanistan is insignificant relative to the amount of attention it gets:

Awesome Magnets
I ordered these for my niece's quince and they not only were affordable but beautiful and easy to personalize. They had a lot of designs, but I would have liked a more varied selection of color schemes. The words were good sized as well and easily readable, the pictures a decent sized as well. Overall I would use this website again if needed, it was extremely customer friendly and easy!Reviewed by Esme07

Totally unexpected and terrifying - the river is dammed and backing up - the snowmelt is coming down this river, the road is out of commission, but the local people have come through with emergency supplies and support as well as the first responders.

Prayers for all in the area. Spring snow melt will be rough this year. Lots of snow everywhere. Last year, our area flooded repeatedly, with roads and even parts of towns wiped out from the very wet spring and summer.

The Amazing Spider Man
film/book review by
th Epirate
Bad blocks make a good wall.
This movie makes use of all that is already known and seen about Spiderman and puts it a 2 hour + movie, in a true display of lazy. And I Have to ask, why is it so good????? Let's start with the bad: Dr. Big Bad is making a breakthrough in something that has existed for 15 years. Do you know why lab coats are for? So chemicals don't burn your flesh to the bone. But miss Stacy can show her hotty hot legs in one. The scientists must be pedofiles, as the audience the directors have presumed. The how do i shot web part was so whacky i was thinking that when Peter was rubbing his eyes he wold rip his eyelids of. And it was lifted from the Spiderman parody "Superhero!". All the nods to the Ultimate comics were not needed and got booring. Apparently Ozcorp has a billboard in 3D you can see without glasses. The goodies: This Peter acts like a believable teen, the first we have ever seen is such movies. The romance was at least better and adorable to watch than the first movies. And the return of the oneliners and comedy from the comics and cartoons was all everybody was asking for. Bottom line is it's a good movie for everybody. Worth watching. Even if this is not your kind of movie you should give it a try, i think you will enjoy it.
Not to be picky, but Gwen is somewhere between 16-18, so it would be "ephebophila" rather than "pedophilia", which is used to refer to children under 12. Also, I sometimes wonder if
Dawson Casting
is the results of directors being uncomfortable bout casting underage kids to play roles that will result in a lot of

The folks at "Sesame Street" have cast their parody sights on a new target — "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire."
In their version, entitled "The Hungry Games: Catching Fur," Cookie Monster takes the starring role as "Cookieness Evereat" in a competition that, predictably, involves eating.
Just a few weeks ago, "Sesame Street" scored a viral sensation with "Homelamb," their parody of "Homeland," where all the characters (except one) were sheep.

Patrick Willis tried to Volunteer, was turned away in tears
Patrick Willis spoke on Sunday night about his desire to play at the University of Tennessee -- where Peyton Manning played -- before winding up at Ole Miss -- where Eli Manning played.
See, in New Orleans, everything comes back to the Mannings!
Anyway, here's Willis:
"I was a Vols fan growing up," he said of his childhood in Brewston, TN. "That was like America's Team. I wanted to go there so bad. After every game my dad and I would get in the car and drive five hours to go to Knoxville to watch them play on an unofficial visit. This was on our gas money and our time. I just wanted to show them how bad I wanted to be there. I can't forget being there and you have all these other big-time recruits there and they are shaking their hands and the coaches are talking to them. The coaches never shook my hand. They never talked to me.
"One day I just got tired of doing that. My senior year, I remember going up and saying, 'Coach I see all of the other guys getting love. I really want to come here. I'm interested in coming here. Do you have something for me? Maybe a scholarship offer? Maybe something just saying you want me?' But I didn't get that. I got, 'Well you're having a hard time. We're recruiting two other linebackers, Ernie Sims and Daniel Brooks. Those are the two guys we want and we don't know if you're going to make the ACT score.'
"I never forget looking at him and being like he basically said we're not really interested, we don't want you. I'll never forget getting in the car with my foster dad and we're riding home and I cried. I cried, not because I was sad, but more so because I knew how badly I wanted to be a Tennessee Vol. I knew what type of player I could be.
"I'm sorry that I didn't go to a 5A school. I'm sorry that I wasn't in a town that could be recognized, but we are what we are. We are in the situation that we're in.
"The good Lord had a plan for me. I ended up going to Ole Miss. Ole Miss... They gave me a scholarship and I ended up going there and had the best four years that a football player could have. Well, we didn't win that much, just one time, and that's when Eli (Manning) was there my freshman year, but I went there and had a blast and had a great time playing football there. Here I am all these years later. The Lord had a plan for me."

- Good food but...UESerDined on 8/16/2014We came here because we took advantage of an Urbandaddy brunch promotion with unlimited mimosas and brunch for 2 hours. Great deal, but we were very disappointed with the fact that we were only allowed 1 dish from the brunch menu, when neighboring restaurants gave us a lot more food options for the same price. Also, four of the dishes looked to be appetizer size - definitely not filling enough! Service was friendly, and orange mimosas were delicious (they also had strawberry and peach, but orange was the most fresh) and food wasn't bad. What really alarmed us though was that for 2 hours, we were the only people in the restaurant.Special Features:
- Nice place for a romantic dinnerBoliFoodi2410Dined on 8/11/2014We did Restaurant Week at Melibea and we had a great time. Highly recommend getting the Truffle Risotto and the Chocolate Mousse for dessert. Those two were spectacular. The waitress was also marvelous, allowing us to try different white wines before choosing the one we liked (and which we ordered two bottles of!). Overall great experience, would recommend for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cute placeTaraEatsDined on 8/5/2014Loved the ambiance of this place. Unfortunately the food was just ok and the service was not great. I've had better and I've had worse but probably wouldn't go back.
- Great Brunch with unlimited MimosasPocahontasDDined on 8/3/2014Came here with friends to enjoy Sunday brunch. The food was delicious (had the pork sausage flat bread with summer squash, friends had the skirt steak and pancakes) and generously portioned. They have an unlimited mimosa option for two hours ($18). The waitstaff was attentive and made sure we always had refills of our drinks (tried the watermelon, strawberry and peach mimosas and they were all very tastey). They didn't rush us out of the place around the two hour mark. Around noontime a musician came to perform live music, which was the perfect touch to an afternoon with great friends, great food and great drinks. Would def come back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 7/31/2014I won't come back to Melibea. The service was attentive until the restaurant got busier at which point we couldn't find our server. My heirloom tomato salad had minimal goat cheese. Our entrees were very salty. We waited 30 minutes to get dessert. The chocolate mousse didn't taste like chocolate and looked thrown on a plate from a carton. Finished plates were not cleared in a timely manner. Go someplace else.
- YUM!QueboyEatsDined on 7/25/2014I went to this restaurant for my birthday in March per a recommendation. It had only been open a few months, but it's definitely a gem. So much so I had a friend fly in town from Chicago, and I took her there. We both enjoyed the Restaurant Week Pre-fix. I won't go into a full out foodie recount, but the ambiance of this place is great. Great decor, huge windows which let in great light and sunset atmosphere if you are there at the right time. The food is excellent and the wine list is good. I wish I lived in the neighborhood and had the money -- I'd eat there all the time!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Amazing Food, Terrible WaitOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 7/22/2014Went here for restaurant week. The restaurant was empty yet it took 30 minutes to get our appetizers, none of them were cooked. The food was very good but the whole experience was not good. Not only did our meal last 2.5 hours but our waiter forgot our drinks. We had to ask about our food taking so long. Only after our meal did our waiter mention that they share the kitchen with the neighboring restaurant.
- Great food with poor serviceOshlandDined on 6/28/2014The restaurant was fairly empty and our waiter was just not on point. He didn't know anything about the food and he was pretty clueless in general. He didn't listen and even though he was very nice, it got old after a while. Luckily, the food was great but they need to get the wait staff together if this restaurant is going to survive.
- jerseygirlDined on 6/24/2014I went to Melibea w/ my husband and 2 friends. Lovely, airy space w/ spacious bar. There was a fantastic trio playing gypsy jazz. (They play every Tuesday night.) The food was delicious. The maître d' very kindly gave us a free sampling of desserts, one of which was a phenomenal chilled chocolate gelato/pudding. For the overall quality of the food and friendliness of service, not to mention the music, I would gladly return to Melibea.Special Features:
- GemMissMVIPDined on 6/24/2014Melibea is a total gem on Bank Street, great for dates, dinner with friends, drinks...simply a place to enjoy yourself.Special Features:
- Great eveningWselfnyDined on 6/12/2014Enjoyed a great evening here. Very few hiccups for a new restaurant. Food was interesting and very good and we appreciated hearing the Haus of Mimosa. Will definitely come back.Special Features:
- Great New PlaceNYCFoodDined on 4/30/2014This place is just getting on it's feet; and we also went on a day that was POURING for 24 hours straight. So, the ambience/noise in "real life" may be different, and more than quiet. There were a few things they didn't have that we ordered, but the other picks were just as good. Food was good, drinks were good, and our server was perhaps in the best mood I've ever seen a server. I would recommend this to friends; it's also very convenient from the 1,2,3 train at 14th st stop.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was wonderful, but theJaxTVIPDined on 4/5/2014Food was wonderful, but the service was beyond disappointing. It was nearly impossible to get anyone to take our order or bring anything to the table. I do not expect to ask a server for something multiple times before it finally arrives. He even forgot items we asked for, but I refused to ask & have to wait again. I would go back to this restaurant one more time as the food was really delicious, but if I have a similar experience with the service then I will cross it off my list and never return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mediocre food...terrible servicekatedVIPDined on 4/5/2014if you decide to dine here, be prepared to have 25 people come by your table to clean it up, pick up glasses, clear plates, but no one can actually take your order or bring you your drinks. The food was a bit strange. The burata / winter vegetables entree is a HUGE ball of burata, and a very small portion of cubed vegetables. The proportions are totally off and there is no bread to eat the cheese with. This would maybe be more suited as an appetizer. The wine list is pretty limited and twice we sent back wine for being corked. the bar is pretty though if you were just looking to have a nice drink. I wouldn't recommend the food or bothering with table service.Special Features:
- Unique and unusual!LoisVIPDined on 4/4/2014We arrived late, ordered quickly, and to a great surprise each dish was more unique than the next and surprisingly out of this world delicious!!! The wait service was efficient and treated us like regulars even though it was our first time dining at the restaurant. Which is in the manager came over to be sure that everything was to our satisfaction, and we truly felt as though this could become one of our new favorite restaurants. We can't wait to go back and bring all of our friends!! We are so happy we live close by so that we can dine here regularly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tasty and friendly place!fuschianycDined on 3/29/2014Excellent service and interesting menu (although totally and recently revamped and different than menu posted at menupages). The chocolate mousse w/orange was divine. Nice variety for vegetarians.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good spot for happy hour and appsOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 3/28/2014Restaurant is fairly new and I received a promotional voucher for 30% off to try it out. We shared 2 spreads, a pate and a special fish-based one. Both were good, served with toast. We ordered the bone marrow with oxtail marmalade which was delicious and good enough for a meal. We also tried the octopus a la plancha which unfortunately was overcooked to an extremely rubbery texture so we had to send it back. The waiter was apologetic and gave us free dessert. Overall, the place is nice and service is good. I would come back for drinks and to try more bar snacks and apps which are the more interesting items on the menu, in my opinion.
- double whammyjb19Dined on 3/7/2014We went to Melibea the other night for dinner and had a pretty awful experience. I made a reservation for 8:30pm and called the day beforehand to confirm. When we arrived, we were told that they "needed a few minutes." We didn't get seated until 10pm! And there was no sort of apology for our long wait either. Once we sat down, the poor service continued. 2 out of 5 wines were out of stock. No one came to give us water. We ordered shrimp risotto which came out with no shrimp at all. The food was sub par. I ordered cod and it was bland and I was unimpressed. All in all, we spent a lot of money and both the service and the food were pretty lousy. I won't be returning.
- great vibe, not so great foodDinerJezDined on 2/28/2014Walking into the restaurant feels like you've found one of those hidden hip local spots. The great vibe is let down a bit by the food though. Mains were good (I recommend the Game hen) but the entrees were not great and the Apple tartin dessert was a complete let down. Overall, we're glad we went there though as the ambience still made for an enjoyable night out with friends and great value with the NYC restaurant week special.Special Features:
- Food was good but waitstaff was newOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 2/28/2014All of the food we got was delicious, however the waitstaff was new and inexperienced which caused for an unpleasant experience. They were not willing to make any substitutions on the menu or accommodate for the customers asks.Special Features:
- Nice Quiet EveningOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/24/2014Melibea is a gem in the West Village. I went on a Monday night, and it was pretty quiet, but perfect for dinner. I loved the ambience of the restaurant, and the menu was great. There was the selection of a Restaurant Week menu as well. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, I loved it.Special Features:
- Lovely findAutumnfriday1VIPDined on 2/23/2014Glad to have finally tried this neighborhood spot. Service was great, the menu choices were varied, and the food excellent. Will return soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome Night out with the HubbyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/22/2014The Manager is awesome and made sure we were comfortable and happy. Alfredo and our Host Cat was super amazing! Thank you Alfredo!!!!! Thank you Cat!!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant dining experienceTrumDined on 2/18/2014A very pleasant dining experience on a cold NYC evening. The staff was appropriately attentive, and the food was very good. I'll go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lame service, good food & vibeFoodAdminDined on 2/8/2014The menu is special and has good items. I had the raw scallops that were very good, would have loved to try the entire menu as everything there seems delicious. The service, however, is lame, and I left in the middle of the meal because the pleasure of eating ended with the deficiency of the service. Needed to order things twice, and guess what: they charge you for two pieces of bread bread.Special Features:
- Not goodRHTPDined on 2/7/2014The service was well-intentioned but hapless. The bartending was atrocious. The thumping music killed my appetite, which was fine, because the food was the opposite of subtle and inventive.
- where's the old menu?Minus19Dined on 1/18/2014everyone enjoyed their food (though we should have skipped the oysters) but the menu online was far more interesting than the menu we ordered from; we went for an adult dinner w/ people in their late thirties and the music was too loud (and a boring loop) for conversation; won't return for that reason
- FABULOUS!diego175VIPDined on 12/7/2013I live in the neighborhood and wanted to go somewhere close by to celebrate a dear friends birthday. This place is a real find. I loved everything about it. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 6 out of 6 people were happy!dek116VIPDined on 10/19/20136 of us went there for dinner, and EVERYONE was very happy with their meal. This is a rare and exciting thing. The server was accommodating, and although the kitchen was a little backed up because it was a busy Saturday night, and there is a new chef of 2 weeks, our server was very attentive. Nothing was too salty and everything we ate had wonderful flavors. I will return again soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My boyfriend and I went hereChloesmomDined on 10/19/2013My boyfriend and I went here for our anniversary. The food was excellent, the service was attentive and the atmosphere was intimate. We plan to go back. Get the chickpea cake for dessert. It's delicious and unusual.Special Features:
- Very goodPeanutDined on 10/17/2013I really enjoyed the food and the space. Great location. Nice large spaceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service, great food!jasper77Dined on 9/28/2013We were very happy for the service; the waiters were very attentive and courteous and helpful; and of course, outstanding food! We would love to come back and try other dishes. And the red wine suggested by our waiter was excellent too. Pleasant ambience................Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food but frustrating servicePaulVIPDined on 9/28/2013We enjoyed our meal once it arrived, but felt ignored by our waiter. When we arrived at our table, no one gave us dinner menus- one of us actually had to get up to ask for menus. By an hour in, we hasn't received any food or drinks. The waiter forgot two drink orders. Even getting the check was a huge ordeal, we sat forever waiting. It's not like the restaurant was busy!
- Too dark! Food mediocre- somewhatGourfoodDined on 8/16/2013Too dark! Food mediocre- somewhat salty and very small portions. Staff lovely!!
- Hit the spotShoreViewDined on 7/31/2013Our meal was part of a special day my wife and I had in NYC - an early dinner in between a matinee show and the ferry back home. When we arrived (6pm) we were about the only diners there (it got livelier while we were there), so attentiveness should be expected. But we were extremely well looked after - and spoiled a little once the waiter learned what we were celebrating. The whole meal was delicious (I nearly awarded 5 stars) and the wine list and advice was good (the list was perhaps a little pricey). We enjoyed every minute - great for anybody that relishes Mediterranean food and culture.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentPlanetBobDined on 7/27/2013I almost don't want to say how good it was because I don't want it to get over crowded. The scene was relatively low key. The food was outstanding with some unique dishes. There was a wine paring option that we didn't do because we took advantage of some great cocktails. But sommelier recommended some good wine to pair with our entre. One of our vegetables came out a little late but it was excellent and they apologized and gave it to us on the house.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horrendous serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/22/2013The food was pretty good, but--despite too many hovering wait staff--the service was horrible. The waitress seemed to think that her job was to charm us by being overly personal and pretending that things like bringing an extra spoon was a big deal. Meanwhile, we were halfway through our entree before she brought us the wine, it took half an hour for the dessert to come, and she forgot the coffee altogether--though of course all of this was always someone else's fault. I'm not demanding when it comes to service, but this was extremely annoying.
