During the first presidential debate Wednesday night, the candidates talked a lot about how they would lower the cost of your medical care.
Heavy on data and large numbers, the debate may not have been the easiest to follow for Americans interested in the subject.
Ken Thorpe, an Emory University economist who specializes in health care costs, may have been one of the few excited by all these numbers.
"It was about as substantive a debate as I think we've ever seen," Thorpe said. "The problem is, even after this debate, I don't think people truly understand the similarities and the differences in what these candidates are proposing for health care."
Here are five things you should know about what the candidates said about health care in last night's debate:
1. You do pay more for health insurance, but Obama's policy isn't totally to blame.
The first mention of health care came about six minutes into the debate. Discussing how "middle-income Americans have been buried" financially under the president's policies, Republican challenger Mitt Romney said health care costs have gone up by $2,500 a family.
Each year, health care costs have gone up during Obama's administration -- that is true. But experts say the increases have not been due to policy, but because of the rising cost of health care. The figure Romney used is not quite right.
The Kaiser Family Foundation, which conducts an annual survey of health care costs, found that since 2008 the average family premium has gone up about $1,698. For context, that is the total cost that you and your employer pay -- it's not $1,698 out of your pocket. In fact, the report said the increase you personally pay was not "statistically significant."
Rising health care costs are a significant problem, though. The same survey found that the average premiums for family coverage have increased a whopping 113% since 2001. That means the trend started long before President Barack Obama took office.
2. Medicaid and Medicare fraud is a huge problem and more needs to be done.
Obama's first specific reference to health care described how the administration pursued medical fraud in Medicare and Medicaid "more aggressively than ever before," which saved the system tens of billions of dollars.
Medicare and Medicaid fraud is what one expert called "one of the most profitable crimes in America." It costs taxpayers billions of dollars annually -- $60 to $90 billion a year, based on government estimates. That's money that could be better spent on taking care of actual health care costs.
Historically, it was up to states to police this problem, but the fraud grew too big for them to handle. A Republican-backed bill called the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 created the Medicaid Integrity Program, which gives the federal government the ability to oversee and support states' anti-fraud efforts.
The Obama administration launched several key programs to protect against fraud. They have saved taxpayers billions; however, a Government Accountability Office investigation concluded that while progress has been made under Obama, more could be done.
In a report this June, in fact, it found at least one of the major programs -- an audit conducted by the government -- costs taxpayers $102 million, but only found $20 million in excess payments.
"They have certainly been increasing their work in this area," Thorpe said. "A certain kind of focus definitely did help eliminate some of this fraud."
3. Sending Medicaid back to the states would save the federal government money, but cost states more and adversely impact those using the benefits.
Obama criticized Romney's idea of sending Medicaid back to the states. He argued that this would mean a "30% cut in the primary program (for) seniors who are in nursing homes, for kids who are with disabilities."
The plan GOP vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan, as the head of the House Budget Committee, suggested in April -- which Romney adopted as his own -- would cut $1.4 trillion in Medicaid in the next 10 years. It would accomplish this by converting the program into a block grant that would in large part shift costs to the states, which Romney argued would give states more flexibility to do what they deem best to help their Medicaid population.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office conducted an analysis of the proposal, which found that it would save the federal government a significant amount. Medicaid costs would be 49% lower by 2030 than current spending under Ryan's plan. That's because the block grant spending caps the cost and makes fewer adjustments.
The CBO concluded that while the federal government would save money, the states would "face significant challenges in achieving sufficient cost savings."
In Wednesday night's debate, Romney spelled out how he would adjust spending behind these block grants. "I would like to take the Medicaid dollars that go to states and say to a state, 'You're going to get what you got last year, plus inflation, plus 1%, and then you're going to manage your care for your poor in the way you think best,' " he said.
That formula doesn't account for rising health care costs (remember the cost of health insurance has gone up 113% since 2001), nor does it account for the aging population. With "baby boomers" getting older, there will be 63 million more people over 60 by the time 2030 comes around, according to U.S. Census projections.
Health care costs would go up significantly to accommodate this 20% increase in the number of people over 60 who will need more health care. Nor does Romney's formula account for economic downturns where more people would qualify for the Medicaid program, like the current government formula -- which would leave the states in a much more uncertain position.

When shopping around for a life insurance policy, Ann wanted both the flexibility of the universal life insurance and the investment aspects of variable life insurance; she found perfect compromise in the form of a variable universal life insurance policy.
Variable universal life insurance
A form of whole life insurance that combines aspects of universal life insurance and variable life insurance and provides for a death benefit and accrues cash value on a tax-deferred basis. Variable universal life insurance ("VUL") policies allow for flexibility in premiums, death benefits, and investment options. The insured may also borrow against the cash value of the account. Variable universal life insurance is similar to variable life insurance in two aspects: (1) the policies are securities and are subject to federal securities laws as well as state regulation, and (2) the policies carry the same investment risks as variable life insurance, and the cash value of the investment account is dependent on the performance of the account. However, many variable universal life insurance policies do not have the minimum death benefit guarantee; instead, many insurers offer minimum guaranteed death benefits for an additional fee.
Illustrative caselaw

Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
Definition provided by Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary.
August 19, 2010, 5:26 pm
"We begin our discussion by noting that the characteristic of variable life insurance (VL) or variable universal life insurance (VUL) that distinguishes it from whole life or universal life is the presence of a separate account within the policy of insurance. This separate account contains investment choices, usually mutual funds, into which the owner of the policy may invest. When a premium is paid into a VUL policy, the insurance company deducts the cost of insurance and certain fees, and the remainder is invested in the funds in the separate account chosen by the owner of the policy. The ramifications of this arrangement are significant in the context of the equitable distribution of a marital estate. Because the separate account of a VUL policy is, in essence, no different than a brokerage account, the considerations involved in attempting to establish the value of the marital portion of the policy are not the same as the considerations relevant to the determination of the cash value of other types of cash value policies, such as whole life. Instead, the value of the separate account of a VUL policy must be derived in the same manner as one would determine the value of securities held in a brokerage account."

I was having a lot of hip pain and decided to try this mattress topper. It works great! I no longer wake up several times each night to roll over due to hip pain, thank God! It isn't hot and that was a concern for me, I get hot flashes. I would recommend this to anyone with hip or shoulder pain. My mattress was a good one and it's only two years old, but my pressure points were painful, now I'm comfortable again.
I really didn't think it would make that much of a differance. But I'm here to say this is the first morning I got out of bed with no back pain!!! It makes a huge differance...the only thng that would make it perfect would be to round the edges like a real mattress so the sheets fit better otherwise I'm in heaven?
What a difference. If you can"t afford a new mattress this is your answer. I had the best night sleep I have had in a while.
I tried several toppers which just didn't measure up then I discovered that Overstock lists the foam density of it's toppers so I was able to select this higher density topper. I love it! It has eliminated my early morning backaches and is supremely comfortable. I like the gel side, although I've never been bothered by the supposed heat factor in memory foam. Here's a hint, if you have trouble with your topper shifting, buy one of the white felt-like rug pads and put it under the topper. I guarantee it will never move.
We handed down an old Tempur-Pedic mattress to our son, who prefers a firm mattress. Based on reviews, we ordered this in hopes of making the old mattress more to his taste. It does seem to help. There was a slight odor when we unpacked the topper - my son is picky about that - but it was fine after leaving it to sit unrolled for a few days in the living room. The queen size topper is slightly different in dimensions than the mattress, but he was able to tuck it under the mattress cover without difficulty. (Note: We initially received the wrong item. Overstock handled this well in an online chat, provided a return label for the wrong item, and sent the correct one on an expedited basis.)
This product is wonderful, and as someone with back problems and an old mattress, the comfort level was amazing, BUT for people who are chemically sensitive, buyer beware. I had an asthmatic reaction ( and I don't have asthma ) to this topper and had to remove it after one night. The odor, even after airing out the mattress persisted seemingly forever. But that having been said, I highly recommend this. This item cannot be returned, however Overstock gave me a $XX.XX return credit.
This gel memory foam mattress pad makes our bed feel like we just purchased a new mattress. My husband and I are very different in weight and still it works for us both. I would recommend this product to anybody who likes to feel luxurious without being too warm.
my daughter is so fussy, got this for a guest bed and even she loves it. Best ever.
This not a good topper! The chemicals are so strong it should be labeled hazmat. Also the seam between the gel foam and the polyurethane was coming apart.
The mattress I had been using was so unfomfortable I would toss and turn all night. Thankfully that has decreased since I bought this cover. It has also decrease, though not resolved entirely, my morning back pain. A much better option than what I had before. The only downside was that it smelled awful for about a week after I got it. I would recommend airing it out for a day or so longer than recommended, and using Fabreeze if it smells particularly bad. Not a bad purchase for the price.

So the big employment report is -- it's a 163000.
Jobs added in July the unemployment rate ticked up.
To eight point 3% and a 135000.
People left the workforce so mixed results me sharpen the market liked it as we said the Dow surging.
Points there well above thirteen thousand.
Joining me now is off.
The university of Chicago's.
School a business and the former chairman of president Obama's council of economic advisors Austan welcome to the show thanks for coming on.
Thanks for having me so -- -- take on this data.
I thought overalls pretty solid you know you never wanna make too much and I said when the numbers are good or bad you'd ever want to make too much out of any one month.
The trend is more important than than any month because there's a lot of variability and that's especially true.
Of the unemployment rate survey.
Which is a different survey than than the jobs numbers survey.
In the unemployment rate.
It because of rounding it went up by 31 hundredths of a percent but that crossed.
Eight point 25 thresholds so that's why that looked like it take.
All think that side was fairly modest cost and I think my you can split from parent in the white house on the -- -- was trying to split that -- saying that the unemployment rate isn't really eight point 3% that it's.
Eight point 25 war -- it it makes it sound like -- -- to the rest of the country that there misery is sort of the white.
Houses rounding error.
I don't know that I agree with that -- I'm simply -- noting that the unemployment rate rose from.
And there's a lot of variability in the unemployment rate survey.
You don't want -- conclude.
Overly positive.
From the strong payroll survey it was double expectations it's a solid month but it's just one month you know we've -- had.
Several months in a row that were good and and -- we started putting up numbers like out on a consistent basis I would caution people to get overly optimistic.
Absolutely a minute I'm not sure that putting up numbers like this on a consistent basis would really get us anywhere I mean you need a 125000.
Jobs every single month -- I don't wanna -- mean.
Growth in population yeah that's obsolete term.
-- I don't I don't agree with the I believe that on average you need about a hundred intend to a 125000.
To keep up with population that's -- and if you look at the end of last year and the beginning of this year when we were.
Growing in a 16880000.
A month range you saw the unemployment rate come down at a fairly.
Progressive clip.
Where we are.
Is where.
-- in the fall of 2009.
The CA may -- official government forecast.
That the unemployment rate in the fall of 2012 would be.
Eight point 2%.
And so I think we're kept moving along on a slow steady.
Process that we wish that growth rate could get up higher so that you can get more -- -- good job creation -- -- -- I think that's absolutely true that we agree we all agree that we wish the Joseph job growth rate was stronger and if you look back.
In July 1984 for example during the Reagan recovery -- we really -- U shaped recovery and not month for example.
We added 3121000.
Jobs and we we -- adding at a much stronger clip and you know as an economist.
That generally when you come out of a very deep recession like -- you see -- V shape recovery.
A very strong bounce back with time we have been really care about is that that's the statistical -- this is the abnormality -- what do you think -- flattening out.
Now in the yes in the normal deep recession.
An economy can go back to doing exactly what it was doing before the recession began and in any deep recession like that.
You get a rapid recovery.
This time what we were doing before the recession began was investing in housing stock and consuming more than our income.
Those were both driven by bubbles and we can't go back to doing what we were doing before so -- that -- it's a long process.
Actually I agree with you on that -- if you look at the numbers you know one of the industries were really hurting or not seeing comeback is construction jobs we lost another thousand.
Yeah what do we do to we're pleased that industry because it seems like like you sad.
We're not gonna go back to building houses the same clip.
Because people don't feel like we're gonna see you this it's not the same investment you're not gonna see the -- appreciation.
It's just not gonna happen those jobs have gone away how to we retrain those people to do something else are or what do we do about.
You know that that's the key you you're highlighting the key point that we're facing in this in this recovery we've.
Even though our growth rate is projected to be a little over 2% to -- -- percent.
And that seems modest that's the fastest growth rate of all the advanced countries of the world so we're not given any support from outside our borders.
They construction industry is probably even.
It with a turnaround of the housing market is not going back to the go go days of the two thousands.
So they've got to be retrained into other industry -- that has taken time and will continue to I think manufacturing.
Has been a relative bright spot even at a pretty weak job market out last two year -- two of the best.
Is not getting him all the way down while I mean as you know it an eight point 3% is -- or eight point 2549873.
Is is -- number.
No matter how you slice and politically it's top.
You know because as we all know that there isn't a great track record in this country for re electing someone.
When the unemployment rate is above 8% do you think that it's going to get lower significantly before the election and -- think the president deals with that.
I don't think it's gonna get much lower.
I mean it's possible what I don't foresee big changes either way like I say the most of the forecast for several years have been that it would be around where it is now.
There there are no observations.
Of unemployment rates above 8% so while it's true no one's been reelected.
Nobody been voted out of office with the unemployment rate above 8% either because.
This was a highly unusual.
That the president steps -- -- mean -- there's no question about that.
I think if you compare.
Growth in the United States over the last couple years as the recession has ended and we're trying to pull out of it.
It's actually been significantly more impressive in the US that it has an almost any of the other advanced countries -- why it's hard to.
To reconcile I don't it's clearly not helping the president's yeah in this circumstance but yeah in some sense that might already be factored into the polls.
Down one point 5% we're better than Greece I don't know if that's campaign slogan but.
-- you are good sport -- coming on tonight we appreciate your time.

Four creative options in less than one ounce -- fisheye, wide-angle, and now two macro lenses - with enhanced optics and sleek new design in one small package
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Oct. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- According to recent Pew Research, 82 percent of smart phone owners are using them to take pictures.* Now, olloclip takes mobile photography further with the new
The olloclip 4-IN-1 lens system, the latest in the company's line of simple, easy-to-use mobile photography tools, offers fisheye, wide-angle, and two macro (10x and 15x magnification) lenses in less than one ounce -- with enhanced optics and sleek new design -- all for $69.99 USD. See the simplicity and beauty of the 4-IN-1 lens in this video at http://youtu.be/u3lIOYKW1-0.
The four new quick-change lenses are similar to those available with larger DSLR cameras, yet fit easily in a pocket and palm of the hand. Simple, elegant and unobtrusive, the olloclip 4-IN-1 lens connects to the iPhone within seconds. With the fisheye and wide-angle lenses on opposite sides, selecting a lens is as simple as flipping the lens over. The macro lenses are cleverly revealed by unscrewing either the fisheye or wide-angle lens.
The olloclip 4-IN-1 lens works with all favorite apps in photo and video mode, making it easy for sports and travel enthusiasts, amateur and professional photographers to get exactly the shots and videos they want.
Building on the success of the original olloclip 3-in-1 lens, the olloclip 4-IN-1 lens solution is designed from aircraft-grade aluminum and precision-ground, coated glass optics -- but with the specific field-of-view, light-control and resolution characteristics of the iPhone 5s' eight-megapixel camera in mind. The wide-angle and fisheye lenses have been improved to deliver sharper images, edge to edge, with less lens distortion and enhanced clarity overall. Additionally, the 10x macro lens has a focus distance of about 18mm, allowing users to get more light on the subject (as compared to its predecessor, the 3-IN-1 olloclip lens) and allowing more depth of field so that more of the image is in focus.
"We wanted to enhance the new features of the iPhone 5s camera, including the five-element lens, autofocus matrix metering and dynamic local tone map that ensures more true-to-life color, while also complementing the iPhone's aesthetic look," said Patrick O'Neill, founder and president (CEO) of olloclip. "We believe we've succeeded in creating an elegant, pocket-size product that any iPhone user will be proud of and that any iPhone photographer will be inspired to use to create great art."

The Senate Intelligence Committee vote on the nomination of John Brennan as CIA director is expected to take place Tuesday, a congressional aide said.
The vote had been scheduled for Thursday.
As President Barack Obama's chief counterterrorism adviser, Brennan was behind the use of drones to kill suspected terrorists, including American-born cleric Ansar al-Awlaki. He was killed by a missile strike in Yemen in 2011.
At his confirmation hearing, Brennan defended the use of drone strikes but acknowledged there should be more public discussion about them.

Some lung cancers are caused by a change, or mutation, in a gene called EGFR. Afatinib is an investigational drug shown to be active against cancers with this mutation. It is not, however, routinely used in combination with radiation therapy.
The use of chemotherapy and radiation therapy given together at the same time is an approach to treating lung cancers that cannot be surgically removed. In this study, researchers want to find the best dose of afatinib that can be given with chemotherapy and radiation therapy in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancers. The chemotherapy drugs used in this study will include cisplatin or carboplatin in addition to pemetrexed.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

The Park Bistro & Bar
Online Reservations
I absolutely love the new design, so much more contemporary and bright. Still have the fabulous alcove windows which are like an oasis looking onto a European style fountain courtyard, great for a smaller group. What a great menu, choose the flatbread which was awesome with the arugula and goat cheese, great for sharing. I had the seafood "carbonara" which was incredible so flavorful and interesting. My date had more traditional bistro fare but raved about the food. Dessert they have a build your own sundae with strauss organic soft serve SO FUN and delicious. Service was spot on not to in your face but there when needed. Nothing like this in the area would have to go to SF to get this type of experience. Don't miss fire pits on way in!
We had dined at the Duck Club several times and wondered if the Bistro which replaced it would be as good. Since our son gave us a gift card for this establishment as an anniversary gift, we decided to try it. We were not disappointed. The food and service were both excellent, the wine list - mostly Californian - extensive, and the remodeled dining area, though not as formal as the Duck Club was, is attractive and a bit more casual. The menu was adequate though not extensive and the entrees a bit more pricey but not out of line and featured dishes not always found at comparable restaurants, such as the Nori-wrapped tuna on a bed of fingerling potatoes and spinach which was very tasty.
The food is consistently very good and the service is excellent. For a small town like Lafayette, the extended menu availability is a real plus.
We had a really nice evening at the Park Bistro. We were warmly greeted at the door and shown to our table, which overlooked the lovely patio. The chef sent over a special appetizer for each of us. Our server, Kim, was very attentive, but not overly so. Our food was quite tasty and fresh from the garden. We felt very well taken care of. We'd love to come back again soon!
Service shines here, as well as a creative menu. Try the seafood carbonara!
The Park Bistro & Bar is new, revamped and better than ever. With a new outstanding chef and incredible ambiance - this restaurant is a dream. My recommendation? Sit outside, the weather is always pleasant and even if it is on the chilly side, sit by the new firepits! The food is incredible, fresh and seasonal!
This always good restaurant has now become great. Recent renovation resulted in a very bright room with large alcoves facing the patio. These alcoves have comfortable bench seats and large windows. Thus far, we have been here for Sunday Brunch, only. But we will return soon. It is a buffet brunch, but with individual entrees. We had the Strawberry French Bread, The Traditional Eggs Benedict, and the California Eggs Benedict. All great, but the French bread was superb. Our server, Erika, was professional, friendly, and accommodating. The mimosas were continuously filled. The excellent buffet included pastries, desserts, salads, cheeses, fresh fruit, and seafood appetizers. Another bonus is the free parking in the hotel garage.
This is the same venue as the recently departed Duck Club. I and my group were very happy the food quality is on a par with our past experience. Service was a tad off, entrees took a while to arrive, but the food and ambiance were fine.
Really good food, nice atmosphere, excellent service (we had special requests), easy to hear when you talk to each other. All around wonderful experience!
Birthday dinner for father - I was excited to discover the Park Bistro and Bar, since my parents (residents of Walnut Creek) used to dine at the Duck Club several years ago. I was pleasantly surprised by the lighter color scheme, but was disappointed by the noisy background music. However, the restaurant did provide a nice table for my family. Our server was a bit stiff, but did accommodate my family's needs throughout dinner. My sister and I ordered the seafood carbonara entree, which was light, with fresh seafood (salmon bacon, clams). My parents enjoyed the pressed chicken and the brined pork chops. Food portions are generous - my entire family required doggie bags!
The former Duck Club has been lightened up and retained much of its menu. It povided a good place fo a quiet, conversational ladies lunch. Valet parking in that neighborhood is a plus. Both the Chardonnay & Savignon Blanc were very good. The Quiche was good. Serving portions were "just right". It was a comfortable setting and service was attentive without being over-bearing.
We miss the tablecloths and the place is really noisy now with hardwood floors and wood diner tables. Gone are the mallard murals as well as duck on the menu. We had a small Caesar with Spanish anchovies and the bistro greens with stone fruit, pecans, and goat cheese. Both were substantial, beautiful, fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced around $6. My husband had the salmon as his entrée and I ordered the lamb tenderloin, which was absolutely perfect served with a yummy potato gratin, beans, and French onion slivers. We split the flourless chocolate cake with truffle filling and vanilla gelato-glorious! The chef beautifully wrote "Happy Anniversary!" on the plate making it special. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and sweet.
6 of us dined there, and it was the first time for 4 of us. Very nice menu, reasonably priced. Accommodating wait staff. What we ordered was nicely presented and delicious......nothing outstanding. Nothing to complain about, & I'm sure we'll go back.
This is a hotel restaurant and has that type of feel. The menu has been recently revised with a good selection of nicely done (not overly complicated) dishes. The food is very good though the service is not what one would expect given the quality of the food. The service feels a bit 'trying too hard' by people not accustomed to this level of dining. The bar scene is fun and energetic and one can also dine in the bar area which also has a nice outdoor section. Definitely a place to try out.
Nice new outdoor dining and they still have a great burger on the menu, albeit a bit more expensive than it used to be. We made the reservation thru Open Table and asked to be seated outside. I don't think they actually take reservations for the bar and outside, (they didn't say so to us but to the couple we were meeting). However they seated us right away on the patio. Also great to see the same wait staff!
New menu with good food. Renovations complete and now the Bistro and Bar have become a destination spot, especially the bar. You are really lucky if you can grab a spot in the bar. If you do, however, be prepared for very little conversation without almost shouting....it's really noisy with after-work drinkers and revelers! We ate in the restaurant, where my filet mignon was cooked perfectly and was tasty. One guest enjoyed his seafood carbonara, another her soup and salad, while the third had trouble cutting through her very thick lamb porterhouse and finally had to just pick it up and gnaw on it to get at the meat. Dessert was chocolate and excellent. Wine list is adequate and mostly moderately priced. Hard parking with crowds now.
Following the "renovation" the food is very good - but not quite sure why they made such a big deal about the face lift for the restaurant - it was really just a little touch up - and they did get rid of the ducks! The main dining room is still too formal and stuffy for me, but all-in-all a nice spot!
First dinner at Park Bistro and Bar. We have been frequent diners in the Bistro in here past. Onion soup and Ahi tartare remain great items. Restaurant feels like the old but Bistro new look is great.
We went to Lafayette Park for a spa weekend to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. We decided to have dinner here since it was in the hotel. The second we walked we both commented how loud it was. Too loud for a romantic dinner. Menu had a nice selection. I had salmon with a con succotash and potatoes. Salmon and succotash was great. Potatoes were a bit too hard. She had the carbonara and loved it. Creme brulee for dessert was excellent as was the Strauss' softserve icecream. Service was ok. We had to remind our waitperson to get us silverware.
Tbe new decor is really beautiful and enjoyed the service of a long time waiter who really knew the menu. Food was very good and we enjoyed the evening with dear friends.
We have been dining at the Lafayette Park Hotel for years. We always enjoyed the food there. The newly remodeled "The Park Bistro and Bar" is very nice. We have dined there for dinner and now lunch too. The atmosphere was fresh with its redo. The food was excellent. Our service was outstanding!
The bar had a great ambience and the food was better than I expected. I'd definitely revisit and sit in the bar again. Very lively, but not too noisy.
I have now been to the new Park Bistro and Bar numerous times. I have enjoyed drinks at the fire pits, blistered peppers, cocktails at the bar and most recently a stellar meal in the dinning room. Every interaction with the staff as been amazing and I have to say their "Sundae Bar" is just awesome with soft serve ice cream and 10 or topping to choose from. The revamped restaurant at The Lafayette Park Hotel got it just right and will keep me coming back!
I recently ate at the Park with one of my best friends that just moved here from NYC. I've been reading a lot about the new changes so I thought we should give it a try. The food was far beyond our expectations. We shared the tabbouleh salad, which was great, the only complaint is that I wish we had each ordered our own. We also split the nori wrapped ahi,.. AMAZING... I've been back since this original visit, and every time I bring someone new they absolutely love it. It's hard to believe that you're not in the city with the quality and creativity of the food. The service has always been lovely and attentive. Overall, this place is great, and I will continue to return.
Wow - I love the new remodel. I had the open face salmon and it was great. The smore was a fun dessert. I was there for a business meeting and two hours had passed before I realized it. Great place to have a meal.
Feels like a 5-star! The Park Bistro has it all: great food, gorgeous ambiance (new interiors), great service. LOVED the details like artsy high-end glassware, dishes, and exceptionally comfortable furniture. Not noisy... Even when the dining room was full, I could easily talk without raising my voice. Would be a great place meet up with friends for lunch/dinner or if you're looking for a 'classy' bar.
Our party of six were seated in a seperate room at a table that could hold twice that number. With doors that closed, it provided a very quiet experience, which was good because the room was right across from the kitchen. The food was deemed by all of us to be delightful. The service was efficient, with the possible exception of a few misdirected deliveries; but the wait staff were very attentive. If the weather continues to cooperate, we will definitely give the outdoor dining experience a try here.
Excellent meal. Nice outdoor seating, great cocktail (Negroni), attentive service. We split appetizer / salad / entrée / dessert - great variety and food preparation. Pliny the Elder beer on tap a fantastic surprise. The "new" restaurant really is a keeper. Bravo.
Don't know if the ambience was better than the food both were pretty great!
Another great meal at the Park Bistro. The food was amazing and the service was great. I like the new look and energy in the room. Everyone was looking happy and having a good time. Great feeling while out to a good meal. WE Will for sure be back.
It was a birthday dinner for my husband. The Service was impeccable. The food was fabulous. I had the Lamb Porterhouse and it was incredible and my husband had the Filet Mignon that was wonderful. We also had French onion soup which was OK. My only disappointment was that they asked if we wanted desert and I said no because a thought they would just bring a birthday surprise for my husband which they didn't. I had to ask for it. The waiter said since we didn't want desert he didn't bring one. I felt he should have told us that he would get the desert. The noise level was way to high.
I came on a Sunday night with my boyfriend for his birthday. We had a reservation and when we showed up, we waited only a few minutes. When we got to our table, we couldn't find a server for about 7-8 minutes, which is the only annoyance because I was thirsty. haha. Other than that, this place is amazing. The decor is very charming and the food was incredible. I would come back once a week if I had the money for it. My boyfriend was left speechless because his birthday dinner was so enchanting. Thank you! Girlfriend's brownie point hit the ceiling this time. :)
The food and the service were great. The best grilled cheese sandwich with a flavorful tomato soup, salmon sandwich exceptional with real flakes of salmon and dill. BUT, the beer selection was miserable even though it included 10 light beers...nothing for dark ales.
Everything we ate (ahi tartare, beet salad, onion soup, lamb porterhouse, NY strip, and dessert) had been prepared wonderfully, accompanied by attentive wait staff, and a friendly environment. We will be back, and look forward to tasting more of the menu selections.
Had a very nice dinner; Was not rushed, and it was quiet so we could talk. Food was excellent. Service was excellent.
Group of five enjoyed the lunch. My crab cake was good--not much filler and the onion soup was good as well. Others had burgers which were a bit too well done for them. Ruben was a big hit. We would go back.
The Park Bistro inside the Lafayette Park Hotel has a new look and a new friendly yet elegant feel. Parking is still a bit inconvenient but that is more the hotel's issue. Food choices for lunch were good although an entree salad choice would have welcome. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered, especially the calamari app and the Parker Burger. Good flavored and beautiful presentation. The thing that made the experience a stand out for me was the great staff. They couldn't have been more accommodating or performed her service any better. The only sour note was the valet parking staff. But, once inside the Bistro, everything ran smoothly and my guest felt relaxed and well served.
Food was excellent. Warm and nicely crowded ambiance in the bar eating area with the fireplace. Solo bartender on Saturday night feeding the restaurant and bar made for slow drink service.
We found this place in random. Glad we tried. It was recently renovated with a classic upscale look and feel. Food was excellent and beautiful presentation. Surrounding area is kind of dark so be careful if you park on the street. Will visit again.
Although everthing was OK. The best service we received was the from Valet Parking. They were great!
Took to brunch a family with whom I'd been staying for the weekend. Found the Park Bistro on a friends recommendation and then vetted through Yelp. The experience exceeded my expectations. The food was wonderful, combining a well-stocked buffet which included very tasty smoked salmon, meats and cheeses, fresh fruit and vegetables, and more. The separate desert table was a great visual temptation and delivered good flavors as well. The entrees were varied, well prepared and generously proportioned, and with a party of six, we got to see a variety of them. The service was impeccable - on the spot, but low key and not intrusive. I would recommend the Park Bistro and intend to go back there when I visit again in a few months. Michael777
Excellent server - Arlene. Food nicely presented and delicious. Attractively redecorated. Comfortable seating. A bit on the pricey side but we do plan to return.
If you want a vey nice, quiet place to talk, the Park Bistro is ideal. The waitstaff was very solicitous and also never rushed us.
Great ambience, good service and food. A little noisy but partly due to the size of the crowd. Would definitely go again.
Several months ago the old Duck Club restaurant became the Park Bistro with a new menu and decor.I love the changes in both.I highly recommend this restaurant.We have been there several times since the change over and each meal has been great.
The Park Bistro has done a very nice redecorating job. They continue to do a delightful happy hour in the bar.The lunch menu is good with standards as well as hot entrees, salads and appetizers. The service was excellent even though they were very busy. The menu is now the same in the front bar area as well as the main dining area in the rear. They still have the private room available for small groups. The new long table for groups in the back is a very modern addition. Valet parking is available as well as garage self park.
Very good place for a fine, well served yet casual dinner. Nice setting, upscale table settings, and very nice ambience. The major down grade is the clientele not the restaurant. Accepting tee shirts and loud behavior disrespectful of other diners distracts from the experience.
Very nice hotel with picturesque lobby. Restaurant was crowded but alcove tables ideal for conversations. Staff recognized our reunion with friends and were unobtrusive except as needed. Nice experience. Steve
This is a wonderful place to have dinner. The food, service, and ambience were absoluteky superb ! The steak frites and the seafood carbonara were fantastic as well as the salad and dessert ! Our server was so conscientious and made sure that everyone in our party was happy. We shall return !
Great for lunch or dinner....the onion soup is the best in the East Bay...the salmon dish was outstanding.

We're all pretty excited about the new website design here at ANN, but we HAVE heard from some of you that you liked the way that content was displayed on the old site. We hear you, and before you chuck your bitgrinder out a 5th story window, you should know that there are several ways that you can view your Aero-Content.
Each time you visit www.aero-news.net, or click on your bookmark for us, you'll naturally come to the home page. The top content box lets you know what are the top stories of the day, and clicking on an image will take you directly to that story. Or, you can scroll down and find it on the page.
Now, look to the right ... where it says "Change Display." If you are looking for an alternative way to access our content, one of these three clicks will most likely give you a presentation that you enjoy. For those of you who are looking for the full experience of the new site, try out "View Everything" ... and we mean EVERYTHING.
Using this option, you'll get the full story, images, the whole enchilada ... and the list goes on for several days worth of content. Readers with slower connections may find this takes some time to load, so if you want to view the content this way, be patient ... and then scroll down the page to your heart's content.
Of course, there are other ways to view your Aero-News. You can select just Headlines, or Headlines and Teasers. And, if you're interested in a particular genre of news, such as "Airlines" or "Sport Aviation", the nav bar at the top of the page will give you a list of just those stories. But if you go that route, you'll probably miss a lot.
We hope you come to love the new site as much as we do. Our development team worked long and hard to bring it to your computer. And as always, thanks for reading Aero-News.

I just opened up my rug & was very disappointed to see that the color wasnt at all what I expected... WAY darker than I had anticipated. I was under the impression that it was a grayish/taupe color. It does have that color in it, but also has a much darker chocolate color as well... although up close it is just a dark chocolate, from a distance the color looks black; it looks like a black & taupe mix. Not what I expected and would not have purchased if I knew it was going to be this shade of overall color.
I like the rug. So did the pug. He peed on it. It cleaned easily.
Very pretty rug, super cool colors in brown, taupe and silver gray. Would definitely recommend.
Great product. Soft. Durable. Very brown. Heavy. Perfect for both babies and children.
I have another safavieh shag rug in ivory and it is lovely and as pictured. Unfortunately, this rug color is not as pictured. It is much darker and a lot of contrast. The colors are dark brown and taupe and has more of the dark showing which appears black. The quality is excellent and the only reason I am rating it with 2 stars is for the inaccuracy of the color. I will be returning it.
I put this rug under my king size bed. If it were about 6 inches wider it would be absolutely perfect, but as it is I am extremely happy with my purchase. It feels really good underfoot. I did notice the outgassing smell for the first two weeks, but it's almost not even noticeable now.
My wife and I were looking for a dark-colored rug for our entryway. We're very happy with our purchase. It looks great over our tile and next to our dark wood floors. Definitely get a rug pad for underneath as there is no padding or fabric on the underside to keep from scratching your floor.
I ordered this rug and it got to my house in 3 days. I love this rug, its nice and think feels great to walk on and my dog enjoys laying on it. can't beat the price for this kind of rug, it looks like I paid a lot more for it. I haven't experienced any shedding. The color is a little darker then it appears in the picture but since I read the reviews before ordering I was prepared for that. I have no complaints and would recommend this rug to anyone!
I am sorry but I am disappointed in the rug. I was so excited after reading the reviews. When I received it, it just did not look as rich and lush as described. I ended up putting it in a spare bedroom and it looks fine in there. I'm still looking for a good living room rug.
I love this rug! I wanted something with a grey/tan color but more grey. I first ordered this rug in a runner and also the Safavieh Cozy solid dark grey runner to see which one I like the best. This was a perfect grey/brown combo where the other was a true grey, almost blue. I then ordered the 9'6 x 13 rug along with a non-skid rug pad. The pad works great and the rug doesn't move. The rug is shaggy, but not too overly shaggy. It is thick, and doesn't have fibers falling off everywhere. The creases where it was folded when shipped came out right away. It goes great with grey rooms, tan rooms, or any color rooms. The rug is a great rug and I recommend it to anyone.
