No Art Censorship in Bern Museums
Last November, an 11-second clip of ants crawling over a crucifix in a four-minute video by artist David Wojnarowicz was attacked as blasphemous and removed from the Smithsonian Museum's National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC. Imagine what those same critics would say about a terrific show in Bern, Switzerland, called "Lust and Vice: The 7 Deadly Sins from Dürer to Nauman." The show is jointly organized by the Art Museum of Bern and the Zentrum Paul Klee, a multi-function glass and steel space by Renzo Piano. Located a short bus ride from the city center, it resembles three rolling hills. In the "hill" that houses Lust, Sloth, and Gluttony, a very conspicuous sign advises visitors the show "is not suitable for adolescents." The art museum, which is located in the city center, presents Pride, Envy, Anger, and Avarice.

Xylophone, Xerox, and X-Ray.

The X series, if it happens, will be in 2024. It's not inconceivable that the show could last that long.
I wonder what Xbox will be around then

Online Reservations
Food was excellent, service was great, has a Manhattan-style vibe to the food and service, more upscale than many of the good Chicago eateries. Was told about their newer offering, Brindille, so we tried it last night and it was even better for us because we like French a little more than farm-to-table which is what Naha is mainly about. Pastry chef is a master--chocolate popcorn dessert was the best chocolate dessert I've had in a while.
Great food, excellent service, good location, and interesting people watching inside and out.
Food was good (although with one star michelin our expectation was not satisfied)but a bit expensive Wine list was very good service was friendly but timing was "rushed" Noise level was too high
We savored our dinner at Naha. The combination of flavors, textures and ingredients of each dish were exquisite and inspired. Service was exemplary. No detail was overlooked. Reminded me of some of our Napa Valley eating excursions - fine dining without being fussy, big flavors without being overwhelming. Dishes that you take a bite of - pause, savor, smile, sigh and offer a taste to your companion to share the delight. Not one misstep - totally lovely.
What ever happened to elegantly dressed adults? I am so tired of going out for an evening and seeing men in baggy shorts and young women in dresses short enough to be shirts. Not so at Naha! Here there are men dressed in coats and ties. Here there are women in elegant dresses. The ambiance is quiet respect, respect for the other diners enjoying themselves around each other. No texting, no raucous laughter, just pure enjoyment of the experience, which is fabulous food, delicious wine, excellent service in a beautifully appointed room. Thank you!!!
Carrie has created one of the best dining experiences in Chicago. The food is extraordinary and service thoughtful and unobtrusive.
What a great experience. Everything from the food to our knowledgable waiter was stellar. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Great waitress, good food, but noise level not conducive to ordinary conversation.
Great food. appetizer salad and desserts were the highlights. 2 of us each got salad, entree, and dessert for around $100 per person including tip.
Knowledgable staff, great drinks, excellent fixed price lunch. Beautiful and delicious food.
Great food. Serves too fast. Service was great and the ambience very nice. We missed trying the dessert, so next time.
One of my favorites. Try to take out of town clients and other important people here. Recent Friday lunch revealed not much business. However, service was slow. Server was smart, mannered, with good recommendations. But he'd disappear for long periods of time. When you have to ask another staff member to tell our server you're ready to order, that's not good. But Naha continues to shine with its food. Some of the best in the city.
Went for lunch were the $22 prix fixe menu was a great value. Everything here was delicious, the service was extraordinarily friendly
Lovely dinner! The atmosphere is beautiful and quiet. The perfect spot for a romantic evening. How refreshing to be greeted at the door by a hostess with a smile, and no attitude! The service was attentive, but not pushy. Overall, a great experience!
Four of us went for a birthday celebration. Had a wonderful dinner. Each of us had different entreesand starters, and all were delicious. We had a dislike for a wine and they changed it without question. The service was exceptional, very friendly.
The food was outstanding, the highlight being a very generous serving of foie gras, meant for one person, very ample for two people. The wine parings were knowledgeable and spot on with a very good by the glass selection. I had a rissotto which was meant as an appetizer, worked well as a small main course. The service was attentive but not intrusive, Chicago friendly and with a depth of knowledge. We would dine here again in a minute.
Not really kid friendly. The wait staff was great, but really unable the please the kids. We tried to order them their own meals and in the end they ate my entire steak. Ugh! I loved the appetizers and bread!
Their $22 3-course prix fixe for weekday lunch is an unbelievable value. I loved how quinoa and peach brought a basic salad to life and their North African chicken tagine was so flavorful. A chocolate pave dessert was yummy as well. This is such a great lunch option for either business or catching up with friends because the food is so consistently fantastic and it won't leave you feeling too heavy the rest of the afternoon. If the dinner prices at NAHA are a little high for you, definitely take advantage of the lunch prix fixe.
The food and service were excellent. The risotto with short ribs was flavorful and a great texture. The halibut was light and buttery at the same time.
I did the prix-fixe lunch option which was amazing. I started with the greencity salad, followed by the loup de mer and ended with the chocolate pave.
I took my friend to lunch at Naha. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, quick with suggestions about the various items on the menu. We were seated at a table near the window, away from other diners. We started with smoky tomato soup with gorgeous garnishes, then moved on to a BLT made with pork belly. Swoon. There were interesting wines by the glass from small producers. We were never rushed...so we got to sit for a long while and talk. It was a great experience.
Such an interesting menu it was difficult to decide on any one item. Great portion size so I actually had room for dessert. Thank goodness. Everyone in my party thoroughly enjoyed their unique dishes and we will definitely return on our next visit to Chicago. I would recommend Naha to those with an adventurous palette. The service was excellent and our server was very knowledgeable and gave many suggestions. We really appreciated her help.
Food is still fantastic as always. She's still on her game. Server was irritating, but I took this up with the manager. I do not think this is typical or pervasive.
Every thing was great! It is expensive but the food was great!
We have gone for our past two anniversaries and have been incredibly happy both times! We've been lucky enough to have the server Steve both times. Everything on their menu is specially crafted to impress - even soups and salads. My only problem last time is that I didn't come hungry enough and couldn't enjoy more!
We are from out of town and come to Chicago frequently. NAHA is one of our favorites and we have NEVeR been disappointed. Inventive items, great service. Will come back every time possible.
Interesting menu descriptions. Didn't sound like there was a bad item on the menu. I had the Loup de mer and wasn't crazy about it but the accompaniments made up for it. Other members of my party enjoyed the quail, the squab and breast of duck. A pricey night but would return to try other menu selections.
This is a perfect place for a quiet, good-quality, meal with friends or colleagues. The food is comfort delicious, the service is helpful but unobtrusive, and the background noise is low so you can hear one another speak. This is not a place where you can expect to find new partners. It is a perfect place to go for good food and conversation with people you know.
A fabulous evening. Michelin and Mr. Beard know their stuff. Nice to go to a high end spot in the city that is not "a take it or leave it" tasting menu only. What appeared to be a simple Greek salad, had a surprise in every bite. The Moroccan rye bread will knock your socks off. Halibut and Salmon dishes were incredible. Served in very decent portions. The wait staff provided professional service. Our waiter watched our table like a hawk. More than happy to answer any and all questions. We had a few. This is not cheap eats. In our opinion, it was money well spent.
We have eaten at Naha for dinner before and it is an outstanding spot for the evening. We were in town briefly and decided to have lunch there. They have a wonderful three course choice tasting menu for only $22 (in addition to a regular menu) and it was a great way to go. My son and I had a beautiful lunch.
I have dined at Naha at least 5 times. Each experience was memorable. The food is always good. My Mediterranean chicken dish was top notch. Amy, the server, was very knowledgeable and very attentive. I heartily recommend this restaurant.
Beautiful restaurant, wonderful food, perfect service. I always order duck if there is duck in the menu. This is the best duck
I tried Naha because it was listed on Open Table's Foodies list and I'm glad I did. I hadn't used that option of the app previously but I will now when available. It was my best meal in Chicago. I had the very good strozzapreti followed by a wonderfully tasty duck breast paired with a delightful Pinot recommended by the waiter and a cheese course that was perfect for finishing my wine. I dined alone and felt very comfortable doing so. The hostess even offered a newspaper. I liked everything about this meal and would love to go back and explore the rest of the menu.
I went on the spur of the moment and only had an appetizer, salad and glass of wine, but the place was lovely. Everything was fresh, delicious and beautifully prepared. I'm eager to go back for a full meal.
Naha made my romantic evening meal with my husband a memorable event. They followed through with a table in a quiet somewhat private section area and a candle on his dessert plate. Our waitperson was friendly and knowledgeable. Th evening couldn't have been better and the price was worth every penny.
the combination of foie gras and tartelette is not specially adapted, bur the foie gras itself was remarkable
This was my first visit to Naha. The space is a fine example of urban minimalist chic. The staff is most accommodating and lovely without no pretensions.A well appointed table greeted us as we sat and the menu offered a delectable choice of appetizer and entree options. Well prepared food with a simple and eye-pleasing presentation delighted me and my dinner companion. I will return on my next visit to Chicago!
A few years ago a group of us came here, when at a conference, as a special treat. It was good then, but now the food has 'gone up another level'. Take a bowl of cauliflower soup. How much could you do with that? Amazing things, it turns out, so that each spoonful is slightly, or even remarkably different. Try it! Service is attentive, informed, but not intrusive.
I had been to Naha once previously and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. So I decided to take my parents back there for dinner while they were visiting from out of town as a special occasion. The food was as expected delicious from start to finish Without exception. The wait staff was knowledgable, approachable, and accommodating. I had heard the recommendation to try the cauliflower soup and it was remarkable as expected. The one sour note of the evening was the sound level in the restaurant; it was, well, deafening. We were literally screaming to each other across the table to have a conversation. It was sub-optimal on a night when my family was planning to catch up.
I have been to Naha a number of times and still find it to be one of the best restaurants in Chicago. The food is perfectly prepared and the restaurant is very quiet--probably because we went on a Monday night. The wine list is pricier than most restaurants but the Cabernet we had by the glass was excellent. My three friends who were there for the first time, also loved the restaurant.
I just was mentioned for the second time a one star of Michelin.. It should be two.. I have dined in many 1-3 star places in France. Very small batch localized liqueurs make up the unique bar and drinks.. Food was great.. Only thing was dessert was a bit fussy with too many "flavors" of the same.. like 4-6 things.. The one item was served in a low-ball glass and a nice twill cookie would have been better.
Creative, delicious food in appropriate portions. Everyone at the table was impressed. Service was a bit too familiar and at times slow.
Come for the exquisite flavors but enjoy the service, atmosphere, and attention to detail in everything they do. This is the first time I've been inspired to write a review.
Have not been here in several years. No clue why but decided to go last Friday. My boss took me and a co-worker to celebrate my birthday. Terrific ambiance. Delicious Food. Perfect service. Boss had pumpkin soup to start and artic char. My friend and I shared a beet salad and we each ordered the chicken thighs. The 3 of us could have licked our plates. Everything was that delicious. We also shared a chocolate creation for dessert that was amazing. Rich. Delicious. Beautiful. I will go back soon.
Naha wonderfully blends flavors and textures with great presentation. A wonderful place for foodies. My favorite place in Chicago.
Incredible meal, start to finish. Have never had a more knowledgeable server. From a very impressive wine list she recommended the only bottle from Lebanon on the list (had never had a Lebanese wine), and it was superb. My only criticism is that the menu has far too many quotation marks (Coconut "bar," Mango "pop-tart," etc.) which my "party" found "annoying."
A foodie recommended me to go so took my sis who lives close to this restaurant. The beet salad was simply very good. The main dish we ordered seared scallops was kinda flop. I've tasted many scallops which were far better than this. Perhaps that night chef was off..... Oh well. We decided to skip dessert due to $ and did not want to risk another disappointment. Got coffee and tasted like instant folger - eww. However, the service was exceptionally good.
Very nice bartender. Tastes of wine before purchase were appreciated. Cannelloni was great. Slow cooked chicken thigh, recommended by bartender, quite good though a bit under-seasoned to my taste.
A "must" every time we visit Chicago. The food is fabulous and the service impeccable. We've been coming back for over 10 years and never been disappointed. Always leave looking forward to our next visit.
The food exceeded our expectations. It was our best meal during our stay in Chicago. My husband and I had the price fixe dinner and we each received a different entree with each course which allowed us to sample almost everything on the menu. Although pricey, the meal was worth it.

'Solar freedom' law won't see light of day
The General Assembly has upheld Gov. Bob McDonnell's veto of legislation preventing community associations from prohibiting the installation of solar panels on homes. The Senate could not muster the votes to override the veto of Senate Bill 627, which had been sponsored by Sen. Chap Petersen, D-Fairfax. Petersen expressed disappointment that his "solar freedom" bill will not become law. He said the bill would have allowed all Virginians who live in homeowners associations to lower their electricity bills and qualify for federal tax credits by installing solar panels on their houses. Some community associations traditionally have prohibited or restricted solar panels for aesthetic and property-value reasons. In 2008, the General Assembly passed a bill proposed by Sen. Frank Wagner, R-Virginia Beach, to address that situation. Wagner's measure said that after July 1, 2008, community associations could not impose rules to "prohibit an owner from installing or using a solar energy collection device on that owner's property. However, a community association may establish reasonable restrictions concerning the size, place, and manner of placement of such solar energy collection devices." Because of a grandfather clause, that law did not affect solar-panel prohibitions that had been in place before July 1, 2008. That's why Petersen introduced SB 627 this legislative session. "Ninety-nine percent of the homeowner associations' covenants were unaffected by the law in 2008 because the restrictions already existed," Petersen said. "My bill struck out the grandfather clause and said this will be the state law across the board and prohibitions on solar panels are not enforceable in Virginia." During the General Assembly's regular session, the Senate passed SB 627 on a 31-8 vote, and the House approved it 74-24. But on April 9, McDonnell vetoed the bill. The governor said the 2008 law provided community associations with more than enough opportunities to change previous covenants regarding solar panels. SB 627 was an attempt to retroactively enforce that law, McDonnell said. He said it would have violated both Virginia and United States laws. "Senate Bill 627 appears to contradict the general legislative rule that statutory enactments are applied prospectively," McDonnell said. "In addition to the problem of retroactive application, the legislation potentially violates both the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 10) and the Virginia Constitution (Article I, Section 11) by 'impairing the obligation of contracts.' " Overturning a veto requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and the Senate. That means getting 27 senators to vote in favor of overriding the vote. Last Wednesday, the Senate voted 21-18 in favor of overturning McDonnell's veto – and so the vote failed. Solar installation has become increasingly popular around the country, creating new jobs and a new way to power homes and businesses, Petersen noted. "There are a lot of new technologies out there in residential improvement industry which we need to encourage. Solar installation is certainly one of them," he said. "The businesses that install solar panels are small businesses, and I want to make sure that they can sell their products and not go up against a lot of red tape and legal prohibitions." In an interview, Petersen said he probably will reintroduce the legislation in the future. |

Buca di Beppo - St. Paul
Online Reservations
Mathew was a fantastic server. The hostesses made special preparations and recommendations for our group. The servers sang for our table...which became the whole dining area singing. Fabulous evening with exceptional service. Thank you!
Food was good, but the service was subpar. First, the server recommended two dishes that don't go together. Then came the waiting game. We had to wait to be seated over 15 minutes even though we had reservations, once we were seated, we had to wait for our server for nearly 10 minutes, then the server disappeared and we had to wait again to order. Once we ordered the food came out fairly quickly. But that was the last time we saw our server until we got our check. We had to ask the manager to get refills on our drinks. Not very good service if you ask me.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Buca. The food was superb, the waiter was knowledgable, a group sang to my daughter who was celebrating her birthday. The only negative issue we experienced was that we felt rushed to finish our meal and leave our table. There was only seven of us and it was a non-busy Sunday evening.
Once again a great meal...love the coupons..waiter Josh was great
Whenever we have a special occasion, we always go to Buca. It became the next best thing to going to Nana and Nanu's house. Our kids (who are grown) still name Buca for their birthday dinner as the place to go no questions asked! We'll be back again and again!
We know that we can always count on excellent food and service and have some laughs along the way.
My daughter turned 16 and picked Bucca's for her birthday dinner. We ordered all her favorites and we loved everything. The garlic mash potatoes were dry but that is the first time that happened and we order them every time. We'll definitely be back!
Everyone was very friendly. We were celebrating mine and my daughters birthdays. Everything was exceptional from the food to the waiter who sang to us all by himself. There were not many people in the restaurant at the time, but it was still very special. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience.
We have dined at the St. Paul Buca a few times now, and every time it has been delicious and fun. We typically order an antipasto, salad, pasta, and dessert and never leave hungry or dissatisfied! I highly recommend the bruschetta and the chicken carbonara or spicy chicken rigatoni. BUT don't forget the cheesecake- it's my favorite in the Twin Cities!
Reserved a visit to try some of the courses in preparation for out sons grooms dinner next month. The food was fun as was the atmosphere. We are looking forward to our special dinner with excitement knowing we have picked the right place to celebrate our happy event.
Don't know how I missed your restaurant over the years. Glad to have had the opportunity this past Friday night - enjoyed ourselves and will do it again.
Buca is always a great place to go. You know what you will get everytime, good quality food.
Decided to make a reservation for for my birthday. When we got their we rapidly seated and the waiter was awesome and nice! The good tasted really really good! Not only that but the food portion is incredible! Awesome restaurant! Would Would recommend to anyone!
I've only had bucca catered into where I work, so I really didn't know what to expect upon our arrival. My boyfriend and I were going to celebrate our anniversary so we wanted to go somewhere nice with good food. I was expecting the place to be more fancy considering they have absolutely amazing food, turns out we were a little over dressed for the restaurant. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion. Truly awesome Italian food.
Buca is a wonderful restaurant with great food and service. Love the place. I really appreciate that they have smaller more quiet dining areas away from the loud central serving areas.
I love coming to Buca because the people are awesome, food is always in pointand u never leave hungry! I will continue to come to Buca and explore new food!
Expensive, but very good italian food. Expect enough leftover for dinner the next day (maybe the day after too).
Buca is always a bustling place and seems like the "go to" place for birthdays as every visit usually witnesses several "Buca Happy Birthday" sing-alongs. I wish they'd bring back the tortellini (apparently it only did well only the MN locations). They also took the Garlic Mashed Potatoes off the menu, but if you go to the St. Paul location they'll still make them. Overall the food was good, not quite great as I've had in the past, but could've been our choices this time. The staff is always friendly and attentive. It's best for larger groups as there is so much food. We knew we'd end up with leftovers (with six people) but we ended up with a lot. Not all bad until the bill comes! Overall a great place for Italian food and fun.
Never had a bad meal. Mostly basic stuff, but when that's what you're looking for there's no place better than Buca.
Great place for us to meet family for the first time! They were from another country and were shocked at the portions and the ability to take home the leftovers! Food and service was great! Fun atmosphere!
the food was outstanding as always, the service was very good - although I think she may have been a little new. The only downer was that even with a reservation we still had to wait 20 minutes and the parking was terrible.
Family style dining, great for birthday celebrations
No one goes hungry when gathering at Buca for a family event. The quantity of food coupled with variety assures each member of the group gets to sample and enjoy. Been trying to get a lrge enough group to grab the Pope Table for the family.
Family BD party, excellent service & food. Very relaxed and comfortable.
Love the food here. Always good food. For some reason this time the service wasn't very good.
Awesome service. Very busy evening so the food was delayed in getting to us. Server was most accomodating and gave us a wonderful dessert for the delay. One of my favorite restraunts. Thank you.
Great server, Kirk...food was great but we ordered waaaaay too much - had no clue the portion size. We all had a great time but very crowded - tables too close together
The place was packed when we arrived few minutes head of our reservation. We ended up waiting about 20 minutes. While we were going elsewhere after dinner, it wasn't someplace we had to be at an exact time, so we were fine. But if you have tickets for a show et al, this might not be the best choice.
We made reservations for dinner with family friends. All 8 of us were in a huge booth, we had lots of room. The ambiance was upbeat with lots of singing, clapping and joy. Just like the decorating. The service was very good, our waitress was very accommodating and informative. The food was excellent, no complaints. We ordered 5 different entrees, 2 side dishes, 1 large salad and 2 appetizers. Everyone went home with leftovers. We had a wonderful time.
Buca's is just one of those life places - its a place where you start taking your kids when they are little for the experience and food, and when they get older, its where they ask to go - its hard to explain- its just one of THOSE places that makes life - well awesome!
We enjoyed our dinner at Buca in St. Paul. Love the round tables where everyone can talk easily. Would like smaller versions of the table with the spinner in the middle for sharing family-style dishes. The family-syle lemon chicken was tender and tasty, as well as well as the colorful, flavorful and crunchy apple gargonzola salad (the large is more than enought for 6 adults). Dining service was attentive and helpful. Host service could use some work as they 1. seated our guests without checking the reservation so they did not know our guests were seated when we arrived 2. seated our party of 6 adults next to a family birthday party which was a bit noisy (be prepared for frequent rounds of the staff singing birthday greetings).
....we had a good time. We needed to issue a reminder for the plates for the entree, but other than that, Buca was up to their standards for service and food. The place was hopping (in defence of the wait staff) but usually, they bring out plenty when we order the salad so they don't have to bring out more when the pasta arrives.... Food is always good - the Spicey Chicken Rigatoni is to die for and the pasta itself is ALWAY cooked to perfection - very al dente! We'll be back...with or without plates!!! :-)
Food was good and more than adequate in amount. Our server was very helpful. The only down side was the the two huge parties seated in the main dining room making lots of noise - shouting, clapping, cheering. They should have had a private room.
The food was delicious and the service was very good! Our wait person, Matt, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. It was a nice place to go for lunch. I like how they have it so two people or more can share dishes. It's not overly pricey and there is a good variety. The only drawback is the location and getting to it. If you miss the turn to the restaurant, you end up having to drive a long way to turn around.
From appetizers to cheesecake. it was a wonderful meal. The service was friendly and attentive. However, for the price, I think a salad or vegetable should be included with the entrees.
Did a great job with our 20+ person group, excellent food, quick and attentive service. Eat the baked ziti!
We went to Buca to celebrate my birthday with a couple families. We had 6 kids ages 9-2. The nice thing about Buca is that the noise level is high enough that our kids can laugh and be themselves without disturbing other people. The food is ok. (temp and flavor is good, but nothing is so fantastic that you want to write home about it) The atmosphere is fun. The service was fantastic. Thanks for a fun family night.
Great for our birthday celebration. Great quantity and delicious food and drink
It was a first time for many (a group of 8) and out waiter was a huge help and told us what to order and we were not disappointed!
We always enjoy the food. The generous portions always ensure left overs. We are getting to-go now. Very easy curb service. My biggest issue is the annoying noise level. Too much "Finiculi funicula". A friend says he eats at the bar for a more peaceful meal. I appreciate your e-mail coupons. Bob Brereton St. Paul
great for mid to large size groups....open a bottle of wine and settle in for a big meal...lots of yummy dishes to choose from...a blast of garlic hits you in the face when you enter..breath deep and enjoy!
accomodated our special request which made the evening more enjoyable.
My son was baptized and afterwards the family got together for lunch. Its very rare we all go out to eat as a group. My aunt and uncle had to drive a long ways. My family loved dinning at Buca di Beppo! They loved the food and the decor of the restaurant. The waitress was very good at serving us and we tipped her good!. There were 6 adults and the bill was very reasonable! My aunt loved looking at the pictures that they have at Bucas. Thank-you for the great dinning experience!
Surprised we could make res just one week before. Delighted family of six. Turkey feast almost as good as home cooking. Not "all you could eat." Extra charge for extra turkey. But worth it. Great family atmosphere. Would do it again.
This is the second year that we have dined at Buca's on Thanksgiving. I believe that we are starting a new family tradition. The service and food was excellent. It was a wonderful dining experience. We will see you next year.
Not being a fan of cooking or a traditional Thanksgiving meal, I very much appreciated the ease of booking a reservation, the great food and the upbeat personality of our server. She was very friendly, patient and helpful, inspite of having to work on a holiday! Thank you!
While Buca's offered a traditional Thanksgiving meal, we ordered our own "traditional" Italian! meal; Antipasto Salad, Baked Ziti, Chicken Saltimbocca and one large meatball. All great and adventurous for us representing the American spirit of discovery; "ordering items we've not ordered before!" Staff was attentive and having a great time among themselves too; all fun! Thank you Buca's for our 2013 traditional Italian Thanksgiving.
We enjoyed our experience. The food tasted fabulous. The presentation was nice. Our waitress was friendly and personable. The atmosphere is fantastic with staff happy to be there and patrons enjoying it also. Very festive. We've experienced this particular holiday in the past in a couple of your back rooms and didn't enjoy it as much as in the front. The only negative thing I can say is that I requested the front room on my on-line reservation in the notes section and it was ignored. But, I asked to be switched to the front room (where I enjoy sitting because it seems more open, friendly and more spacious to me) and the hostess immediately found us a great table in the front.
We had an early 6pm reservation... Restaurant wasn't busy at all. We dined in the main dining area and the atmosphere was great. Katherine was our server and she was awesome! By 6:30-45 the restaurant began to fill up giving it a busy feel which was also great. We ordered 2 separate entrees and ate and ate and ate! Absolutely delicious food ( we had left overs for lunch the following day!) Our server then delivered a delicious desert cake, great coffee and she and the staff sang Happy Birthday to my wife ( by candle light).... My wife loved the food, restaurant, server Katherine and the entire experience.... Thank you Buca! ( and Katherine...:) Tim
Pleasant, predictable, chain version of red sauce Italian. Always fine, happy to go back. Parking is tough at this location, though.

Im planing to go to Nuwara Eliya on 27 Dec morning by train 1st class. anyone wanna join. contact me asap.
Hi, can anyone recommend a clean cabana/bungalow/hut with private shower that has direct access to the beach? Nearby restaurants, snorkeling facilities etc. would be a plus. Price range: 50-70 USD. Time: 15-17th january. Our ideal match Gallawatta is unfortunately booked.
The Vavuniya - Jaffna railway line was being laid the last time I was there. (1) Up to which part in Northern Sri Lanka are trains running now? (2) Where can I get a timetable for this line?
Hi there,
I'm thinking of going to Bentota after Ella and Haputale. Need to know from where is faster by bus or train to Bentota.
Need to make a decision to go Ella first or Haputale based on this info.
Any tips from people who've been recently and want to share good experiences that are not mentioned in the guidebooks? Restaurants, accommodation (preferably beach huts w/ private bathroom), snorkeling bureaus, etc.? + classic warnings. Our budget is 800 euros for two. Please consider the season.
I tried to book accomodation were we stayed before in July last year, but during the Xmas season they require a stay of minimum 6 nights. Can you recommend any other accomodation on or very near to the beach for a family of 5 people.
We have finally booked a trip to Sri Lanka in january and will be staying in Bentota. (that we have visited Before) We are travelling wth 2 kids, age 1 and 3, and want to visit Pinnawala, preferably with an overnight stay (in Pinnawala or around). Is it easy enough to arrange that in Place, or could it be booked full?
What could a rough price be? We need nothing fancy but Clean. I guess most drivers have their deals with hotels so maybe its easier to let them put together a package?
Thanks for input.
I am Sri lanka just relaxing beach this days i need tour plan 7 days
I like to see a Hindu temple in Negombo. Recommend a place.
Is it possible to climb stairs to reach the entrance? Are tourists allowed
is there an express A.C. bus that goes from Galle directly to the international airport near Colombo? If not, what about express A.C. buses from Galle to Colombo itself?
Hello :) guys, what's the best place here to go for having fun ? :)
Does anybody have the contact details of the Thilak hotel in Unawatuna?
Are there any Martial Arts schools in Negombo and if so what schools/styles are being taught there ?
Can SGD be brought in to change at the customs banks? Is the exchange rate better than changing out of Sri Lanka?
What is the best way to do a day trip to Dambulla from Colombo? I will only be in the country for two days and want to spend a full day in Colombo. Is train + bus from a nearby station a good idea? Obviously, speed is a concern although I do not mind leaving Colombo early and returning in the evening. I will be there in March, if that makes a difference. Ideas and prices are much appreciated.
We are spending four days on the beach in August at the end of our tour of Sri Lanka. We have been offered either Villa Mayurana, Ahangama or the Lantern Group lodge at kamburugamuwa, near Mirissa by the travel agent. Both look very luxurious but which is the best location? Where are the best beaches for snorkelling in mid August? Are there other options I should consider? We are a family with three teenagers.
Im travelling to Sri Lanka from UK for the xmas period... my first ever visit to Lanka! Looking for people that are also travelling there for Christmas and NY and also any advice on where to meet new friends and what to see! Im very outdooesy, love scuba'in and surfing! Hoping to travel right down south. Thanks :)
We are off to Sri Lanka at the end of Jan , I'm slightly concerned about the sightseeing & travelling to & from the airport as I get travel sick in Cars unless I am a front seat passenger , was wondering if you are allowed to travel as a front seat passenger in the private car hire/ taxi's , many thanks ...
We have had conflicting information regarding having Rabies jabs for our trip in Feb/March 2014.
Can anyone advise please?
has anyone stay here this year (2005)? how is the hotel looking? do you know samatha, beachboy?

Would it be ok to serve Cold smoked salmon for a dinner party along with cold ham, potatoe salad and a couple of other salads. thanks | |||
Why not? Sounds wonderful. | ||||
Along with the ham, I like to leave the smoked salmon out of the refrigerator for at least an hour, prior to serving. The flavor can be much better, than when really cold. (And you know it will all be eaten in a short time!) | ||||
I could be wrong but I don't think you'd want to serve this as a dinner option, smoked salmon is generally used in an Hors d'oeuvre application, sliced thin for canapes etc., or on bagels with cream cheese, capers, onion and tomatoe as in lox and bagels. It's a very rich, heavy flavor. You could serve it with bagel chips and other accoutrements, but as a main protein with the dinner, I would say no. A lovely large peice of Scottish salmon poached or baked with some dill would be a lovely option and very easy to do at home. When we were in France we had Scottish Salmon poached in butter and it was mouth watering. | ||||
Here are some ideas for smoked salmon entrees: http://www.yummly.com/recipes/smoked-salmon-entree | ||||
If you know your guests love smoked salmon, I say "YES" -- but if you're unsure it is rather expensive . . . me -- I would adore it and would take the salmon over the ham! Martha | ||||
I'm with Martha! In Norway and on cruise ships, they serve it for breakfast. Love the stuff!This message has been edited. Last edited by: CA Lori, | ||||

Hey CC'ers,
I just wanted to let you know that I've decided to place a few ads on the web site. After 16 years it would be nice to make a little pocket change of this place. I always said I wouldn't turn this into a gaudy ad infested site, so I promise that they will be kept to a minimum.
Of course if you feel so inclined, we also accept site donations through PayPal at email@example.com.
Cheers everyone and Go Canucks Go!

OK, Edward is really very handsome on that pic and Bella is very pretty. But.. how on earth do they manage to make Edward far less sexy than Rob in real life (look at him as Tyler in RM!) ? And how do they manage to make Kristen look less pretty than she really is? Is this a question of make-up?

Ahhhh, Robward....and to think that at the very beginning when it was announced that Rob was to be Edward, there were complaints, hard to believe isn't it? He's THE perfect Edward, I could not imagine anyone else doing that part. I noticed the bleached hair on the arms too, maybe it's the pale makeup on his arms and they couldn't avoid the hair, I'm wondering if that makeup is like sprayed on, you know kind of like spray tan, but this is spray pale???? IDK just a thought?

I wonder if they airbrushed his arms and just left the makeup on his hairs. Those are alot of hairs and if they DID take out the makeup his arm hair would look black in comparison. Remember when he was talking to Bells in Twilight in the cafeteria scene?? he put his arm out on the glass of the salad bar-you see what I mean. DARK HAIR. Poor Robward. I love him no matter if he has hair on his azz-and thats pushing it lol!!

I don't care what color the fur is on his arm, it's still hot!
I cant' help thinking how closely shaven he is here. It must annoy the hell out of Rob who prefers to go scruffy. - May 1, 2010 at 4:26 PM
- gracefulgrace said...
I remember the arm hair bleaching being mention in an interview with Rob somewhere. From twilight haha! I don't think they did it for new moon. I think it makes him look younger somehow.

MAY, as the month of RP's 24th birthday, yeepee!!! The celebration can begin.
I'm so excited ALREADY! Stupid, isn't it?!...
Well, this pic of our beloved Edward & the pretty Bella in bed is indeed very steemy, don't u think?!... Hot, hot, hot...
I must admit I'm sooo team JACOB right now. No, no, no...,
please don't kill me now!!!...
I'm so TEAM JACOB as Jacob in
H2O 4 Elephants!
I've just visited waterforelephantsfilm.com and read some very interesting stuff about the film-making;
Director of Water for Elephants, Francis Lawrence tweeted:
"Going to do the pre-records for all of our circus music. Gonna be great to hear it live. We just recorded the disaster march."
(It makes sense to them who have read the book, I guess...)
And more:
U can even listen to this music on the film's site - I just did & must admit I'm sooo in a circus-mood right now, he he...
And even more tweets from director FL:
"Just saw the big top put up for the first time today and it was amazing. News on casting coming soon."
So, go & visit the film's site & enjoy! It's gonna be fabulous, looks like...
And now back to staring at the timelessly gorgeous Edward -
& being sooo TEAM EDWARD again
(of course)!!!
P.S. @Nik
I read your comments yesterday & the day before on a few (quite a few, to be exact!...) threads and....
Just want to say - thank u so-so much for your honesty & soul & the fact that u've opened your heart for all of us, your true Robsessed-bodies/soul-mates/brothers-in-arms.
And please, never apologize, just keep on being this warm, open-hearted, sincere human being we've learned to love & like & respect!..
Hugs to all of u - May 1, 2010 at 4:37 PM

WhyistheRumAlwaysGone, I know what you mean. Edward is beautiful, no two ways about that, but Rob is sexy gorgeous without even trying. Hell, most of the time, it looks like he throws on whatever happens to be cleanish, runs around with his hair sticking up all over the place or plopping his beanie over the mess (yes, yes, we love the beanie and are wild for the sex hair), and then acts sheepish or shy when people see him---see, he isn't trying and he's the sexiest man on the planet to us!
I just saw a recent photo of Zac Efron and his hair all messy and he's covered with scruff, but I swear it just looks so manipulated, so planned. Sorry, I can't remember where I saw it. But, you'll understand what I mean if you do get a gander at it. - May 1, 2010 at 5:00 PM
- jlsentangledweb said...
Another comment to share:
I was at the hairdressers with my daughter. She was getting her hair done for prom and across her were two teenaged boys also getting ready. They were requesting for the messy Robdo. One of the boy's mothers were there and she argued about the wisdom of paying a lot of money to make your hair look like a mess, but the stylist simply held up Rob's Vanity Fair issue and asked, "Like his?" Mom shut the hell up really quick (after she took the issue to "read" while they worked on Junior's hair). - May 1, 2010 at 5:06 PM

Zac E.?...pffft!
Rob walks around with scruffy clothes and jaw scruff and they look like they're so pleased to be on him. He's so beautiful he makes rags look good.

Easy Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 1+ week - interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in November 2013.
Interview Details Hiring process itself tends to be very fast paced. I applied through college career center, and was offered a phone interview within few days, and a walk-in interview within a week. Interview very general, they asked me questions about any sales experience, and asked me whether I would feel okay with 100% commission .
Interview Question – Where I would stand 5 years from now Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I would rather feel comfortable with poorly paid job that pays regular salary than 100% commission based job.

Average Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Northwestern Mutual.
Interview Details Wonderful process, it's obvious they are selective in the hiring process. There are 3 interviews, 3 personality profiles, they have you meet with a 1-2 year tenured employee over coffee to talk about any questions that you have that's completely off the record. They give you "market surveys" as a homework assignment, you need to call people that you know to ask financial related questions which will make you realize if you are able to make the necessary types of phone calls to build your practice.
Interview Question – How would you feel to not collect a paycheck for 2 months of your first year if it meant you could make $150,000 in your second year? View Answer

Easy Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in November 2013.
Interview Details Process consisted of three interviews. I was called in to the first interview when one of the recruiters found my resume on career builder. The first interview assess your personality, you meet with the recruiter who called you in. They explain the process in very general terms and explain the rest of the interview process. You then get called back for the second interview with the head of the company/associate company who explained how tough the position is, what to expect and what is expected of you in much more detail. Once that interview is over, you must make a 100+name list of people you know in the surrounding area. This list is called your "Warm Market". They are the ones you are going to call and try to get advice from, get leads/referrals from, and maybe even sell to if there is a need. They make you create the list to see if you are going to be a massive cold caller, or work more with referrals, which has a greater chance of success. Once you have created the list, you are called back for the third interview where they take you through the training process, when you could start, and examine your warm market. If they would like you to join, they offer you the position right there and then and you can either accept or ask for a couple days to decide.
Interview Question –
There were two questions.
The first was why do you want to work here?
The second question was: Are you ready to work extremely hard, with no supervision, for the first five years of doing business without knowing if you are going to make a healthy living from it?
View Answer
Negotiation Details – There is no negotiation. Since you are contracted by Northwestern, but have your own business, you are your own boss. you decide on your hours, sick days and vacation time. You can even hire people to work for you if you have the correct income. You receive basic benefits, not dental or vision and all pay is 100% compensation

I applied through college or university and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Northwestern Mutual.
Interview Details Phone interview with recruiting director with subsequent face-to-face interviews with management. They were revamping their hiring processes when I left, so things might be quite a bit different now. If you're a career changer, expect to do market surveys to see how comfortable you are with the industry. The main thing they're looking for is how presentable you are and how good your oral communication skills are.
Interview Question – Market surveys View Answer
Negotiation Details – You're contracted as an Independent Contractor and paid commission with standard bonuses and benefits, so nothing is really negotiable.

Question - Do you consider yourself lucky?
The question is designed to see if you think you've had success in life all on your own, or if you feel like you've had help along the way.
Interview Question – Nothing terribly unexpected. They don't want to throw you off - they want to get to know you. Answer Question

Easy Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in October 2013.
Interview Details Met with the company at a career fair and appeared to be a legitimate finance position. I scheduled an interview in my area and went there only to find out that it was basically a sales position. If sales is what you are looking for it would be a resume builder, but thats about it. They asked a few behavioral questions (biggest strength and weakness) and then they wanted me to come back with a list of 100 names of friends and family to begin calling them and asking about their life insurance policies.
Interview Question – There really wasn't anything surprising, but if I had to pick a hardest question it would be "how would you respond if a customer says they don't want to change their policy?" Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I didn't want to call family and friends all day to offer life insurance and retirement plans

Easy Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 3+ weeks - interviewed at Northwestern Mutual.
Interview Details The interview process was a very lengthy and sometimes annoying process. It involved many trips to the office for separate meetings that, in my opinion, could have been scheduled all at once to reduce the number of trips significantly. However, the people there are absolutely awesome. I had never actually enjoyed an interview before I met with Northwestern. They really made an effort to get to know you on a personal level; and the interview felt much more conversational and natural. The only advice is to be yourself and really express your desire to help others.
Interview Question – Name one time in your life when you failed at something. How did you overcome that failure? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiation. Compensation is 100% commission-based for everyone.
Pros: There is unlimited potential when it comes to salary. Many guys in my office easily made over 100k – Full Review

Triangle Cultural Center was once Main Street School
Managing Editor
Walking down the halls of the Triangle Cultural Center, the laughter of children can almost be heard down its long corridors.
The smell of aging books lingers in the hallways.
And the sound of chalk tapping against a blackboard with a rip of paper from a notebook echoes from the individual rooms.
The cultural center may now serve as a hub of activity with a variety of community functions, ceremonies and other civic appointments.
But to many, it will always remain Main Street School.
"Good years, good times, good friends, we like to remember," said Ethel North, as her recollection appeared in A Collection of Memories, compiled by JoAnne Prichard Morris and Sam Olden.
Main Street School first opened its doors to Yazoo students on Oct. 10, 1904. The former "Public School Number One," located on the same lot, was destroyed by a fire in 1903.
