"VERY VERY SATISFIED"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 15, 2012
""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 17, 2012
This was an overnight bed & breakfast stay after flying from the UK and before moving on to Williamsburg. We enjoyed a friendly welcome from the reception and breakfast room staff. The hotel is close to the airport and our room was clean and comfortable. There are plenty of food outlets on the hotel doorstep. All this enabled us to recover from our flight before moving on to enjoy the rest of our holiday in Viginia in a much refreshed way.
"Clean and comfortable"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Aug 30, 2012
Very nice hotel.
"Great Place To Relax and Enjoy The Beach and Sea"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 17, 2012
Good location with a terrific view from our balcony out over the beach and the sea. We could walk to a number of restaurants. The on-site restaurant and bar was also very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the whole ambience of the hotel was relaxed. An extra bonus was in the early morning dolphins swam within 30 yards of the beach. This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel and probably not the last, Recommend the Farm Bureau Live if there are any concerts on. It is a great location to watch a band and less than 10 miles from this hotel.
"beach views"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 12, 2012
apart from the strange smell in our room - may have been a previous guest smoking - we have an enjoyable stay. Overall good value for money

"great location, friendly staff"
Really enjoyed my stay at the Tazewell. An older hotel with character in the heart of downtown Norfolk. Would stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Must stay if visiting Down town Norfolk"
The three best parts of the hotel are It's Location, Price and charm. Great for a couple wanting to have a unique romantic experience. Everything is in walking distance and the hotel's historic charm can not be beat. Loved it Loved it Loved itGenuine Hotels.com guest review
great hotel. centrally located. staff very nice. nice hotel atmosphere. me and my wife go to Norfolk 2 times a year to visit friends and go the the wine fest. we will stay there everytime in the futureGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Within walking distance to event we were attending"
The location of the Hotel was perfect. We could walk to Chrysler Hall for our evening event. It was also in walking distance to the Greyhound Bus station which was a BIG PLUS.The Hotel Staff was amazing, very helpful. We will definitely stay there on our next trip.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Needs another renovation stat"
Tazewell was in terrible shape. Our room was clean but crumbling--literally. The ancient AC unit in the wall had panels that kept falling off. It never worked properly during the whole visit, despite repeated visits by maintenance. All the furniture had a lot of wear & tear. The only decent part was the bathroom, which had nice granite features. Even […] the elevators & coffee machine in the lobby didn't work right. Stay away! Really have no idea how it got such good ratings on the web. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great place to stay in Downtown Norfolk"
The Hotel was very close to the Norva Theatre where we could walk to the show. I felt safe walking in the neighborhood. There were plenty of places to eat and shop.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great for the price & location"
This is an older hotel, so the rooms are a bit outdated, but you can't beat the price for the location. Right on Granby street within walking distance to downtown Norfolk's restaurant/bar scene. So, it was extremely convenient. Our toilet wasn't working, but the front desk sent a maintenance guy up right away who fixed it and brought us fresh towels. […] Overall, for $100 I was very pleased.

"Lovely,older downtown hotel with convenientaccess"
Enjoyable as a stopover on our way south. Would stay here again if in the area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Stayed here overnight after a show at Chrysler Hall. I really enjoyed the charm of the hotel (and being able to walk to the venue). It is older and shows its age in some areas (small elevator, carpet stains, etc) but overall I was very pleased with my stay. The bed was super comfortable (one of the best hotel beds in my recent memory) and the hotel […] staff friendly and accommodating. We had a corner room with a big window and a decent view (remember the hotel is in the middle of the city). Parking could be an issue, however we arrived during the day and found a garage 1 1/2 blocks away - the process was mostly painless. There are many restaurants/ bars within walking distance and also a 7-11 for a late night beer/snack run, if desired. My boyfriend doesn't agree with my rating citing "the room was nice, but the lobby and hallways seemed old". Different strokes for different folks I guess - You either appreciate it for what it is, or you don't. If I ever visit downtown Norfolk again I will definitely stay at the Tazewell.

"Charming historic hotel"
The Tazewell Hotel has that charm and character that give you a sense you are stepping back in time. The architectural details inside and out are impressive, even down to the elevator interior. The room was cozy and clean, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.Genuine Expedia guest review
The Tazewell Hotel is a charming older hotel but the current management is either bleeding it dry or lacks the resources to maintain adequate upkeep. Everything appears to be held together with a band aid.Genuine Expedia guest review
"my review"
we have stayed at this hotel 2 times this year. very good location for what we come to Norfolk for. rooms are very clean and the beds are awesome!! feels like we are in a historical place.. very friendly employees. needs coffee in lounge though.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great service and great place to stay"
The service was terrific. The staff made you feel as if you were their friend.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good downtown hotel for the price."
The hotel room was nothing special: spacious, but slightly run down. Its location, though, right downtown, made it a great place to stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good location for NORVA"
I was just here overnight for a concert at the NORVA and you cannot beat the location. Lots of food options within walking distance. Hotel is older and the walls in my bedroom were a little marked, but the hotel service was excellent. It was hot and humid but my room was cool and clean. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was large. I would definitely […] stay here again. The front desk even called me after I arrived to make sure everything in my room was good.

"Favorite place in Norfolk!"
Always look forward to staying here. Staff is fantastic. Hotel is older which I find endearing.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good location"
Clean rooms, good location and extremely helpful staff.Genuine Expedia guest review
Great!!! Me and my husband enjoyed ourselves. Our room was great!!! We will return.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location"
Great location. Personal friendly service. Very helpful to someone unfamiliar to the areaGenuine Expedia guest review
"Close to things we wanted to see and do"
We really enjoyed our stay at the Tazewell Hotel. The staff were friendly and did not hestiate to make suggestions on local restaurants and other things to do. We will stay here again on our next trip to Norfolk.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent hotel in a great location"
Large clean room and friendly staff at a reasonable rate. The hotel's excellent location in downtown Norfolk is also within walking distance to the cruise ship terminal. I will gladly stay there again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"moldy and nasty"
not what you may think...!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not clean"
The location is perfect but the hotel is very old, not clean at all. The staff is not the most helpful. Our room was overlooking a huge construction which was noisy in the morning.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location but needs updating"
Hotel is desperate need of new carpet and furniture. It has a worn appearance that makes it feel dirty. The ironing board was unusable because of stains on the cover and lack of cushion under it. It is in a fantastic location for touring the city.Genuine Expedia guest review
"awesome hotel!"
beautiful hotel, incredible room! the location was fantastic, everything is right there. the staff were super friendly. i will definitely go back there!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Great experience. The staff was the highlight of my trip and downtown norfolk is all right there for anyone visitingGenuine Expedia guest review
"Historic hotel a treat except for noise"
Loved the atmosphere of this historic hotel, both in the public areas and the rooms. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The only downside is the lack of soundproofing from the street and hallways. However the room was very comfortable and reasonably priced and the Friday night noise from the street ended quite early.Genuine Expedia guest review
"2nd time in two weeks!"
Would go back every time I need to stay in Norfolk!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I enjoyed the stay. The staff was very polite and catered to my needs. Just has too many steps.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to college and mall!"
Very accommodating. Love the character of a historic hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location"
The hotel could use some needed maintenance. Two examples are: First, water from shower was barely warm, but hot from sink. Secondly, the curtains didn't come close to keeping out light..The rods were too short and the curtains were very worn and needed to be replaced. With the exception of those two major items, I would have been satisfied with my […] stay. The hotel is in a great location. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent Value and Location"
I wish that there were more hotels like this available in America. Centrally located, comfortable, clean, and no frills. The building itself is older and the rooms do show some of their age, but in a way that does more to add character than detract from comfort. If you want a posh, modern, and sleek hotel in downtown Norfolk, you should look at one […] of the other options. If you want a nice hotel that is more than sufficient for a short stay and won't empty the wallet, you can't go wrong with the Tazewell. I'll certainly use it again if I find myself back in Norfolk. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great price, clean rooms"
My stay at this hotel was extremely enjoyable and I would definitely stay there again . I originally booked a room with 2 double beds for myself and my mom, but when I checked in they gave us a king bed. Since the price was the same I didn't bother to switch rooms. I requested and received a fridge and microwave in the room at no extra charge. The building […] itself is old but our bathroom was recently renovated and quite large. My mother is extremely picky about hotels, especially bed cleanliness and was very impressed with the accomodations. We both agreed that the bed was easily one of the most comfortable hotel beds we had ever slept on. Guests had to pay $15/day for parking but that seemed reasonable given that we were in downtown Norfolk. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenience, convenience!"
Old and convenient! Staff were great. There for a concert at the Norva and you could not beat the location!Genuine Expedia guest review
"You get what you pay for..."
Dirty linens, creaky elevator and loud bars outside should steer people away from this place. Wireless was free which was a plus though. I would not stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to The Norva & The MacCarthur Center"
Within walking distance of both!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Location-close to Norva"
The room was nice and clean. No problems.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenience location to get to the hospital"
The stay was overall pleasant. I especially like the location of the hotel, which is very close to the hospital where I had an interview the next day. If you are arriving on the weekend, there are plenty of street parking around hotel which are free on weekends. I love the historic look and feel of the hotel, and pleasantly surprised by how large the […] room was. If you have trouble sleeping with noise, the A/C and heater noise is fairly loud and turns on and off very frequently. Sadly no breakfast is offered, so do plan ahead for that. On the whole, I was very glad to have picked this hotel for my stay in Norfolk. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good for Stayover"
Hotel is convenient, well kept, but shows some wear.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"nice downtown location"
Special rate ended up not so special. Thought ok so no breakfast we can go get that but then we either had to pay 15 a day for parking or park on the street if you can find a space. Lucky for us we were there on Saturday night and street parking was free on Sunday otherwise we would have to move the car or put money in meter by 6 am. Bathroom needed […] more lighting and a hook or two, no where to put anything down. Sink counter very small. Beds were comfortable, but room was cold and no way to adjust. Knobs taken of unit. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"The time has come . . . ."
I'm afraid it's just plain tired out. Carpets are stained, the bathroom is worn out, the windows don't quite close, the heat is noisy . . . It's time for a big renovation at the Tazewell. The people at the front desk and the maintenance man were wonderful and helpful, and the location is excellent. But the hotel itself is getting pretty worn down. Norfolk […] would do well to help get it fixed, as the bones of this place are good. The potential is there to turn it into a gem. Please, bring it back to where it should be!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"great stays at Tazewell Hotel downtown !"
reestablish breakfast please and let people know that refrigerator and microwave are only available upon request before they check inGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good hotel for a quick visit"
The hotel is in a wonderful location. There are many restaurants and shopping close by. I had the opportunity to visit the pub right next door and it offered a great ambiance! The hotel was in relatively good shape, however, there were some areas where the wallpaper was lifting in the bathroom and it was particularly dusty around the crown molding. […] The staff were extremely helpful and very friendly. If I ever return to the area, I would stay again! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"It was okay except..."
A great location Walking distance to all the local restaurants and bars. The hotel was very old and took you back to the colonial days. But for the room it was a little dated for the price. The floors creaked when you walked over them and the curtains didn't fit the width of the window. And the heater made some noises throughout the night. The staff […] was very nice and courteous and will probably stay there again sometime Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient and Accommodating"
Room was spacious and clean with necessary and expected ammenities. The charm of this hotel, built in 1907, is in its updates rather than it's age. The early morning coffee bar is convenient and accessible. I would definitely try to book a room here if I was attending any event downtown, at Old Dominion Univ., or Norfolk State Univ. Easy walking distance […] from the best restaurants and the U.S.S. Missouri. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Very good would stay aginGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Cheap price, convenient location"
○This hotel itself seems old, but well maintained, I guess. Good access to shopping center, restaurants, and other sightseeing spots. Cheap price. There are different type of rooms, mine was large enough. Hotel staffs were friendly.×Stair lift for wheel chair equipped, but hard access for strollers.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"An old building with difficult parking"
Parking is not very accessible--I got a parking ticket the first day. There was some question about the safety of the neighborhood at night, although I was assured it is very safe. The hotel is very old, and there were some corners that were dusty. The shower also didn't work. I had an opportunity come up at the last minute to stay with a friend, and […] so I took it. I guess I was hoping for a bed-and-breakfast type of experience with an older hotel like this one. The staff was very helpful and accommodating, though. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great service, great bed, needs a little rehab"
The hotel is historic, so it feels like it needs a little rehab but otherwise it is very nice. The bed was great and the room was clean. The staff was very helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"lovely hotel."
Cute boutique hotel. Building originally built in 1906 has been restored including original elevators. Large room with down comforters and soft beds. Good location in downtown Norfolk. whats not to like?Genuine Expedia guest review

Why the TSA Searches Grandmothers and Toddlers
Reader Comments
The author's example of Anne-Marie Murphy does not support his argument that we should be happy when TSA officers touch passengers' genitals and get to see them naked. Security officers did not find explosives in her valise because they saw Miss Murphy naked, or because they touched her breasts. They found the explosives in her bag because they searched her valise.
he is right ... a little inconvience is worth it or you and your like minded people can get on the plane that does not check throughly. i will wait in line to be checked... as for the cop pulling you over ...well,, you got pulled over...there is a reason for that..right? you got pulled over... so if the officer wants to search you he could. right on the spot. so i suggest keep your mouth shut co operate as best as possible, so you can get through fast because you know there is a large line behind you.
Should we all agree with your thoughts...I think not. As a person who has heard, for the past fifteen years, the life altering real life tales of those personally assaulted and molested and now they have to relive the experience to fly. What TSA does is unacceptable. Yes, I am one of those die hards that say please don't molest me, don't fondle my breasts, don't place your hands inside the lips of my vagina and between my buttocks. Lastly, don't take nude pictures of me for God sakes, where does human decently come in to play. There are several more effective ways to keep us safe.
I laughed a bit at your line indicating how you would feel with a stranger groping your crotch. I might agree if in fact that made wives and children safer. I'm not so sure they don't just grope your crotch for the fun of it.
>> For every blowhard trying to get Congress
>> to undo airport security ...
Mr. Davis, there are two critical falsehoods in this statement.
First, those of us who oppose the TSA in its current form do not oppose airport security. We are not seeking a return to '50s and '60s, when you walked right up to the plane. We are seeking a return to *sensible* security.
Secondly, you assume that the TSA's procedures actually provide more security than was provided before the TSA entered the scene.
But, what if the shoe removal; liquid restrictions; body scanners; and suspicionless friskings were NOT adding to your security in any way. Then would you defend them?
Would you be satisfied if the TSA remained, but if the checkpoints were reverted to only metal detectors and bag x-rays?
>> So let me tell you, Jesse Ventura, how I feel about
>> having strangers grope my crotch. I say it's fine
>> if it will lessen the chance that my wife,
>> my children, and I will be blown into the
>> ether at 35,000 feet.
But, what if a government worker feeling your crotch did NOT lessen that chance?
There should be absolutely no reason to frisk any passenger -- infant, elderly, middle-aged -- without a reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing. I suppose if you were pulled over and a cop told you to get out of the car and proceeded to feel up your crotch, you'd just smile too?
Stop making wisecracks at those who oppose the current TSA, and instead start to do some thinking of your own about whether the current practices are effective, and are not doing more harm than good.
Thank you.
Davis may enjoy being groped by the criminals in the TSA, but I doubt a majority of Americans share his opinion.
The fact is the TSA has been caught abusing its authority on numerous occasions, with women being the most targeted demographic.
Not only that, but the TSA has not caught one would-be terrorist. All of the potential terrorists that have been caught since the inception of the TSA has been because of the vigilance of the public, not this brood of thugs.

Product Type: Garnier body care
Newest Review: ... the spur of the moment as it was on offer. What a find! A beautifully textured lotion that is not too greasy and really absorbs well. The ... more
Good value and eventually effective
Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days Moisturising Lotion
Member Name: cirsty
Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days Moisturising Lotion
Date: 29/10/12
Advantages: leaves skin feeling soft and supple, packaging is attractive and easy to use
Disadvantages: has the consistency of paste, takes a few applications to feel the benefits
I bought this item just because of it's good price at £1.99 from Savers. The consistency of the product feels quite strange, it's almost like a paste on your skin and takes a few attempts to rub in but it absorbs pretty quickly & doesn't leave residue so I was able to get dressed straight after using it. After using the product for a few days my skin definitely felt more supple & I found it particularly impressive that my skin still felt soft after showering. To achieve the full benefits of the item everyday use is essential, as it takes a few days for differences in skin softness to be noticed.
I think the packaging is very effective, the colour is attractive and the shape of the bottle makes it easier for applications and it's also easier to get all the product out the bottle without leaving small amounts at the bottom as the bottle is narrower than some other product bottles. The bottle also has an easy flip lid which is perfect for when you're in a rush and also allows you to be able to close the bottle without getting residue of the product down the side of the bottle or around the lid.
Summary: overall a good, luxurious product at great value

Located in Gardnerville, Nevada, Hamdogs has been feeding locals and travelers in the Northern Nevada Carson Tahoe area 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for nearly 20 years now.
Besides killer breakfasts and tasty lunches, our Santa Maria style, open-pit, "live" red oak BBQ has earned us the reputation for the best tasting grilled meats this side of the US. At Hamdogs, we believe quality shouldn't have to sacrifice for quantity, we guarantee you've never had this much high quality meat in one sitting. We source the best ingredients available and even the wood we cook over is shipped all the way from the other side of the US.
Our head chef comes from a lineage of Chefs originally responsible for perfecting the Santa Maria style which requires meticulously adjusting the grill and the flames to roast high quality cuts over open flame as opposed to the much easier (and more forgiving) style of BBQ we're all familiar with which uses hot coals or embers.
Others have copied us, more will try, but when you want a real meal, with real flavor, cooked with real ingredients, and really reasonably priced, come eat where everyone eats, Hamdogs!

Balkan filmmakers these days must be acutely sensitive to how their works may be perceived at home and abroad -- someone is always asking, "What side are you on?" Then again, that question has been an issue through 50 years of communism and 10 years of war.
The first Serbian talkie was shot during the Nazi occupation of Belgrade in 1942. To be frank, it's no Open City. Innocence Unprotectedwas directed by Dragoljub Aleksic, a Yugoslavian daredevil who built a naive melodrama about a girl and her strongman sweetheart around footage of his own high-wire and aerial stunts, shot before the war. After Marshal Josip Tito and the Communist Party came to power, Aleksic was brought up on and eventually cleared of charges that he had collaborated with the Nazis.
In his loving but critically savvy documentary, also titled Innocence Unprotected(1968), Dusan Makavejev weaves together scenes from Aleksic's movie, interviews with surviving cast members, and footage from the era's news and propaganda films. The result is a brilliant reminder that the meanings of images are always up for grabs, as Makavejev looks at the ways in which daredevils, fascists and communists all exploit the body beautiful.
Made in the era of openness that came with Tito's death in 1980, Emir Kusturica's When Father Was Away on Business(1985) and Goran Markovic's Tito and Me(1992) are, each in its own way, about love, loyalty and life under the Communist leader. In neither of these films are there signs of the deeply rooted ethnic and political tensions that exploded in the early '90s, although perhaps they left their mark in Markovic's sense of nostalgia. With the release of his epic, absurdist satire Underground(1995), however, Kusturica ran into those tensions head-on. This story of a comic love triangle set against Yugoslavia's ever-darkening postwar history won the director both his second Palme d'Or at Cannes (his first was for Father) and censure for his failure to condemn Serbia's role in civil-war atrocities. Kusturica vowed never to make another film (his latest, Black Cat, White Cat, opens next month).
Similarly, Serbian director Srdan Dragojevic's Pretty Village, Pretty Flame(1996), a searing portrait of two lifelong friends who end up on opposite sides of the conflict, was hailed as a Kubrickian anti-war statement by many international critics, while in Bosnia-Herzegovina it was considered little more than pro-Serb agitprop.
A few days after The Hornetscreened in Sarajevo, Dragojevic's The Wounds was shown amid tight security. But with Dragojevic turning his savage eye toward Belgrade's social meltdown under Slobodan Milosevic's nationalist policies through the story of two Serb teenagers who dream of becoming gangsters, The Woundsproved a hit. Some local viewers even saw it as an apology for Pretty Village, Pretty Flame, a sign that Dragojevic had learned a valuable lesson.
All of these films, with the exception of The Hornetand The Wounds, are available on video.

We take a peek at what's coming up on the post-Glastonbury come down that is London's live music scene
5th July
OFGKTA @ Electric Ballroom
Possibly one of the best live bands we've seen for a very, very long time, OFWGKTA are either the saviours of rap or a horribly sick inside joke that only skinny white people get. Either way, when these guys rock, they rock hard.
9th July
1-2-3-4 Shoreditch Festival @ Shoreditch Park
Headlined by Black Lips and featuring pretty much everyone whose anyone in the East End music scene, The 1-2-3-4 is back at Shoreditch Park for another day of cold beer and rad partying.
12th July
Avi Buffalo @ The Scala
Avi Buffalo are from Long Beach California, and we all know Californians know how to have a good time. This cutesy indie-pop band play the kind of songs designed for lazy summer afternoons, ideal if you've got a beach to listen to them, but King's Cross stands in just as well.
21st July
Vivian Girls @ XOYO
One of the best bands to come out of Brooklyn in decades, The Vivian Girls are riding high on the a success built on a moody blend of Phil Spector-style pop, C86 indie, punk and shoegaze
23rd July
I'll Be Your Mirror @ Alexandra Palace
The list of ridiculously awesome upcoming ATP gigs is already as long as your arm, but the guys have really outdone themselves with this year's, brand new 'I'll be Your Mirror Festival' up in Alexandra Palace. Curated by Portishead who will be playing both nights, the 2 day sway-a-thon will also feature sets from Liars, MF Doom, Swans, Grinderman, Beachhouse and DD/MM/YYYY.

Nissan Qashqai named 'Used Car of the Year'!
Date Listed: 20/01/2012
For the second consecutive year the Nissan Qashqai crossover has been named as 'Used Car of the Year' by the used car pricing experts CAP. Not unfamiliar with such praise, the vehicle was also named Best Used Car 2001 by What Car? magazine.
The Nissan Qashqai offers "economy, handling, strong build quality and reliability" according to a panel of judges; all of whom are experts in the used car market and vehicle evaluation sectors.
The CAP award is unique in that it takes into consideration all perspectives including, private car owners, company car drivers, fleet operators and the used car dealers themselves.
This has been a triumphant year for Nissan who have enjoyed the success of rising sales figures compared to those released in 2010; Nissan's sales figures in Europe increased by 16% in 2011. To add to this amazing feat, Nissan out sold its 2010 total in every month of 2011. According to the SMMT, a staggering 430,000 Qashqais and Jukes were manufactured last year.
With Nissan's popularity continuously on the rise, more of these models than ever before are on the UK roads, so when you inevitably get a call for Nissan parts, 'Think Blue Print - the Complete Solution for Asian and American vehicle parts'.

An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Wanna Know…..
…..one of the many reasons I quit attending the church my mother took me to for the majority of my youth?
Presbyterian court sides with pro-homosexual pastor
The highest court of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has found that a Northern California minister did not violate denominational law when she officiated at the weddings of two lesbian couples.
The ruling announced Tuesday by the Louisville, Kentucky-based court overturns a decision against Jane Spahr last year. A regional judicial committee had found Spahr guilty of misconduct and gave her a rebuke — the lightest possible punishment.
The church's high court found that the ceremonies Spahr performed were not marriages, so she did not violate the church's constitution. The panel reiterated the church's position that Presbyterian ministers can bless same-sex unions as long as the ceremonies don't too closely mimic traditional weddings.
Spahr, 65, of San Rafael, retired last year. She was the first minister of her faith to be tried for officiating the weddings of homosexual couples, and one of several Presbyterian ministers facing disciplinary action for similar offenses. Acting on a complaint brought by a minister in Washington state, the Presbytery of the Redwoods, which oversees 52 churches along the Pacific coast, brought the charges against Spahr in 2005 for marrying the couples from New York and California.

Bullseye. That says it all.

Ahh. But you attended there so you must believe and practice every word of what they preached there. That's the the argument of the day, right? A parishoner must be held to task for every word of every sermon?

Q: How many multiple myeloma patients have you treated?
A: Our myeloma specialists have more than two decades of experience treating multiple myeloma. During this time, they have each treated more than 5,000 multiple myeloma patients.
Q: What types of accreditation does your program have?
A: Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center (HCCC) is an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. This allows the HCCC to benefit from the multidisciplinary and interactive research taking place across the University of Iowa campus in Iowa City, Iowa.
NCI-designated cancer centers are characterized by scientific excellence and the capability to integrate a diversity of research approaches.
The NCI designation recognizes our cancer center, and its research scientists, physicians and other health care professionals, for their roles in advancing cancer research that impacts on our ability to prevent, detect and treat our patients with cancer.
Q: What is your treatment approach, and what are the survival rates with your treatment?
A: We believe treating multiple myeloma aggressively on the front end is the key to long periods of remission, a longer life, and a better quality of life for multiple myeloma patients.
If you hit the myeloma cells hard at the beginning when they have not been exposed to treatment before, you will catch them off guard. Whereas, if you take the approach of starting off with less aggressive treatment and only moving to more aggressive treatment if a patient relapses, the myeloma cells have in the meantime grown smarter. The myeloma cells sense that you are trying to get rid of them, and they have time to grow resistant to treatment. Treatment will therefore ultimately be less effective.
We typically treat multiple myeloma with a regimen involving tandem (two) autologous stem cell transplants and maintenance therapy thereafter. This treatment method has been proven to result in median survival rates of 10+ years. No other treatment method for multiple myeloma has proven more effective in research studies.
Q: Can I come to Holden Cancer Center if I have already started treatment with another doctor?
A: Yes, you can transfer care to our facility at any stage of your treatment. However, all new patients are required to do a diagnostic work up before having a consultation with one of our specialists. The work up includes the following tests: 24 hour urine, echocardiogram/EKG, pulmonary functioning test, blood draw, PET scan/MRI, and a bone marrow biopsy with FISH and cytogenetics.
Q: How long do patients need to stay in Iowa City if they have the tandem transplant treatment you offer?
A: Initially, every new patient will go through a diagnostic work up and consultation with one of our myeloma specialists. You should plan on spending 4-5 days in Iowa City for two full days of testing and the consultation.
For each transplant, a patient will need to stay in Iowa City for about one month. The transplants are done on an outpatient basis with no need to spend nights in the hospital unless a complication occurs. However, patients are vulnerable during the treatment process and we want them to stay close to the hospital so they have immediate access to our medical team if they need it.
Our patients have their clinic visits during the day, but they stay in a hotel or extended-stay facility overnight where they can have some privacy and relax away from the hospital setting.
Q: Do you treat diseases other than multiple myeloma?
A: Yes. We also treat and/or evaluate patients with myeloma-related conditions, like amyloidosis, MGUS, plasmacytoma, and Castleman's Disease.
Q: Why don't you recommend allogeneic transplants for myeloma patients?
A: We think an allogeneic stem cell transplant—a transplant using stem cells from a donor—is far too risky. One in four people will die from complications associated with the procedure. In contrast, when patients have an autologous stem cell transplant—a transplant using their own stem cells—the complication rate is only two to five percent.
Studies have shown that patients do not live longer with an allogeneic transplant. Therefore, we prefer autologous transplants because they are safer and have been proven just as effective.
Q: What kind of factors would make me ineligible for a tandem transplant?
A: A patient needs to be in relatively good health to have a transplant. There are some patients who have other medical conditions that make having a transplant too risky. Many times these other medical conditions can first be addressed and then, when they are under control, a patient can proceed with having a transplant.
Many patients ask us if they are too old to have a transplant. We have had patients in their 80s have a transplant and do very well, so age should never be the only reason a transplant is not performed. A patient's general state of health is the most important factor.
Q: What kinds of support services and resources are offered to your patients?
A: Treatment for multiple myeloma is about much more than chemotherapy and stem cells transplants. We offer a variety of complementary therapies and services that focus on overall physical and emotional well-being.
Our Department of Social Service provides services to patients and their families that enable them to make the best use of health care resources. The department works to reduce social, financial, and medical barriers in order to optimize patient and family functioning.
We also provide spiritual services if this is something you would like, since we know your health and well-being can have a spiritual component. Our chaplains recognize the importance of faith in facing a health crisis, and they offer spiritual support, care, and counsel to assist you with spiritual issues related to your illness.
Q: Is melanoma the same as myeloma? The two words seem so similar.
A: No, melanoma and myeloma are two completely different cancers. Melanoma is a skin cancer and myeloma is a blood cancer.
Q: What is the difference between myeloma and multiple myeloma?
A: There is no difference. The terms are used interchangeably. Myeloma is derived from the Greek words "myel" (meaning marrow) and "oma" (meaning tumor). Because malignant plasma cells almost always occur in more than one location, it is often referred to as multiple myeloma.
Q: How common is multiple myeloma?
A: The International Myeloma Foundation reports that each year there are approximately 19,900 new cases of myeloma in the United States. This represents approximately 10 percent of all blood cancers, and only 1 percent of all types of cancer.
Q: Is myeloma hereditary?
A: Research into whether or not multiple myeloma runs in families strongly suggests that hereditary forms do exist.
Q: What causes myeloma?
A: There is no known cause of multiple myeloma, but we know myeloma starts with an abnormal plasma cell that multiplies and eventually crowds out healthy cells in the bone marrow.
There are certain factors that make a person more likely to have this disease, like age, sex, race, obesity, and the presence of other plasma cell disorders.
Growing older increases the chances of developing multiple myeloma. Men are 50% more likely to develop multiple myeloma than women. Myeloma is twice as common in African Americans than in Caucasians, and the risk of developing multiple myeloma is lowest among Asian Americans.
If a person is overweight or obese, he or she is at increased risk of developing multiple myeloma. And, some people with plasma disorders like MGUS (Monoclonal Gammopathy of Unknown Significance) or a solitary plasmacytoma can eventually develop multiple myeloma.
In addition, some studies have noted that exposure to toxic chemicals—like agricultural chemicals, Agent Orange and petroleum products—or radiation can trigger myeloma. Other factors thought to increase the risk of developing myeloma include frequent use of hair dye and breast implants, but the data to support these claims is very weak, so this has not been proven.
Q: I really don't want to go through chemotherapy or a stem cell transplant. Any advice?
A: It's important to remember that while you may not feel up to chemotherapy or a stem cell transplant, getting treatment is key to getting rid of the symptoms of multiple myeloma, like lytic lesions and a weakened immune system. Treatment is what will make you ultimately feel better.
The key to good treatment is getting treatment on the front end that is effective so that you will stay in remission. It may be a challenge, but it is worth it eventually so you can have a good quality of life.
If you delay treatment, dangerous things could happen as a result of the myeloma. For example, you could go into renal failure or be hospitalized for a compression fracture. If you're experiencing myeloma symptoms, it's time for treatment. We want you to have the very best chance at fighting this cancer and at a good life!
Q: Should someone with myeloma be inactive on an ongoing basis to minimize the risk of breaking a bone?
A: It's actually quite important that someone with myeloma be as active as possible. Since myeloma affects the bones, exercise can prevent the loss of bone mass. It can also help with stability in walking and balance, which is good because people with myeloma can be more hurt compared to the average person if they fall because their bones are often more brittle.
During treatment, exercise can decrease the chance of cancer-related fatigue, help the body recover, keep muscles from losing strength, improve mood, and combat insomnia.
For all these reasons, we would encourage myeloma patients to exercise regularly if they are able to do so. To minimize the risk of bone fracture, patients should stick to low-impact exercises like swimming, walking, or cycling.

Redken discontinued the entire Fresh Curls line recently. This product is great for naturally curly hair like mine! I found it online at FragranceNet. Thank you FragranceNet!!

The Curvaceous range is perfect if you want soft, defined curls. I've been using Redken products for my hair for over 10 year now, and the Curvaceous products smell even more lovely than the last range and my hair is noticeably softer & curlier - this latest range is definitely the best for curly hair yet!
June 10, 2013
I don't use many redken products....but Align 12 protective straightening lotion for medium hair is the BEST! if I could give it a 5 star rating then I'd give it 5 stars! I use it when my hair is clean damp and when its dry. It helps reduce frizz and helps straighten. Most of all the fragrance is TO DIE FOR! Love, love, love it. Redken please never stop making this product!

Redken rocks, as long as u get the correct prescription, nd use the treatments to get repair, not the conditioner, everyone can have fabulously shiny manageable hair. Wear it love it.

Built like Grandma…
Posted by Melonie | April 30, 2007 | 13 Comments
I am built like my Grandma Cannon. I would always marvel when we laid our hands side by side. They looked like hands from the same person – hers because they were so young looking for her ninety-five years and mine because they looked so old. I have inherited her extreme short-waist, her high forehead, her short and stocky arms, her allergies, her little feet, her lack of height, her protruding belly, and her voracious love of cashews.
Her small body was a source of amusement for many people. My tall father would stand next to her with his arms stretched straight out over her head, like an eagle in full flight, and she would not even come up to his arm. She would sit as close to the television as she would to a dinner plate. Halloween night was the one night of the year she would let down her waist-long white hair from its coiled braids and wear a witch's hat to the delight of all her grandchildren. When you kissed her cheek goodbye, her hearing aid would squeak out a resounding farewell.
Unfortunately, when she was in her early eighties, she was trapped in a deserted canyon with my grandfather in early Spring. He passed away from the cold and she had to have her leg amputated on one side and lost her toes on the other foot. This made her even shorter. While her body was recovering from the shock of those losses, much of my time with her was spent rubbing the stumps. Phantom pains tormented her. She would always want a distraction, so I would read to her because she had lost so much of her eyesight. Here was my dear Grandma – handicapped, blind, and deaf. To me, she had never been so beautiful.
On the night of her ninety-fifth birthday, I slept over. She had had a small cold for three days. She asked for me to rub her back that night. I marveled at how small it was. It was like a child's. I kissed her and tucked her in. She liked the blankets to be tucked tightly behind her back. A couple of hours later she called out my name. I ran in and found her dying. I couldn't wake her up, no matter what I did. I held her and sat her limp body up, but her breathing was sporadic and shallow. I didn't want to let her go. I called my Aunt who lived two streets away and she was there instantly.
I have cared for many small babies and even worked for a summer in an adult care facility, but I have never felt so tender towards a body as my grandmother's. I felt such reverence for this tiny tabernacle that had been through so much. It carried my sweet grandmother through almost a hundred years of difficult living. When a person dies, the body expels the waste. My aunt and I took off her clothes and washed her and put her in clean garments and a nightgown. I straightened her beautiful crown of hair. Grandma was not conscious through this entire process. My aunt made a phone call and I left to put the clothes in the washing machine. We were probably gone from the room not more than a couple of minutes and that is the moment my Grandma chose to leave. Immediately her body felt different. I am so grateful that the gospel teaches us about eternal lives and how our spirits live on, but I was equally grateful for the few minutes I had to touch and hold her body that was so much like my own. Arlene Ball's essay "O My Sons" in the current Segullah issue is a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and of the deep love we have for our family members. As mothers, we feel especially connected to our children's bodies as we helped create them. I was so touched by Arlene's essay and how it reminded me of my last moments with my grandmother. It poignantly reminds us to take the time to ruffle our boy's hair, rub our husband's feet, put our arm around our parent, or squeeze our daughters tightly. Do any of you have any special moments with your loved ones that you would be willing to share?

April 30th, 2007 @ 9:08 pmMel, I'm too overwhelmed with the beauty of your story to share any of my own. I might be back later.
Thank you.
April 30th, 2007 @ 11:35 pmThat was incredible. I have no words.
May 1st, 2007 @ 10:12 amMelonie, that was really beautiful. What a tribute to your grandmother. I wish I had something half so beautiful to share.
May 1st, 2007 @ 1:41 pmWow! I'l bet you have no regrets – for how you cared for and loved your Grandma. That is truly special.
May 1st, 2007 @ 2:34 pmYou are all so nice. I do not have any regrets with my Grandma, other than I wish I had had even more time to spend with her. She had lived an amazing life. I wish I could have talked more about her. Her father was the owner of Saltaire, so she had lots of fun stories associated with that. Teddy Roosevelt came to their house for dinner, they had one of the first cars in Utah, her Dad paid for J. Reuban Clark's law school. She was also the granddaughter of Joseph F. Smith, so there are tons of stories of her time spent with him and his stories about his dad, Hyrum, and the crossing of the plains with his mother Mary Fielding. He held family home evenings for years at their house before he initiated the FHE program in the church. She was a sweetheart, but hated being called that. "I'm NOT SWEET!" she would say.
However, I would really like to hear from others about their experiences with people, their own bodies, or what they learned from Arlene's essay! Write up, girls! (and boys, if you are there). -

May 1st, 2007 @ 3:41 pmVery nice, Melonie.
I loved Arlene's essay, too.
Random thoughts:
When my mother-in-law was dying, she kept looking past us, trying to get up out of bed. Over and over, until the nurse sedated her. I think it was her spirit trying to leave her fragile body.
The sweet woman who had styled her hair for years styled it for us. A great service.
I love the sacredness of the body communicated by this post and Arlene's essay.
May 1st, 2007 @ 6:15 pmOh my goodness, Melonie! You have to write a book about your grandmother. I mean, you HAVE to. It is imperative. And may I sign up for the first copy, hot off the press?
I think you've intimidated us all with the beauty of your essay. The most sacred experiences I've had with the human body involve the births of my children and the death of my mother. I tried to capture the transcendence and holiness of sitting there with my mother when she died in my poem "Somewhere" (Fall 2005 issue of Segullah). I don't really know how else to talk about it. I guess you'll just have to track down the poem if you're interested!:-)
Anyway, thank you Melonie for sharing this deeply moving tribute.
May 1st, 2007 @ 6:35 pmMelonie,
Your beautiful description brought back a lot of memories. I nursed my mother when she was dying, and I'm so very grateful for having had the experience. It was sad to me how much she hated being a "burden," because I loved being able to do it for her. I wasn't there at the moment of death, though. This is beautiful.
May 3rd, 2007 @ 7:00 pmHow very intimate! I am built so much like my mom and like to match my hand up to hers. A few months ago, her wrists were swollen and her hands and joints were starting to look all mangled and swollen. This brought me back to when I was an eigth grader and would sit her mom that was a shut in while my grandpa went out for the afternoon. Grandma always made me feel so confident. I knew which pills needed to be taken at what time and what required milk and crackers to coat the stomach. When I helped lift her from her chair through the years, she would always comment how strong I was. When Grandma was more able, baby sat for wealthy people. She was known for really paying attention to the children. Sitting in bed with her in what I did not know was her final months, she would share about her childhood and how proud her mom was when the preacher asked if anyone was ready to be baptized when she was around twelve. My grandma said she was and was baptized into this nondenomational Church. My mother told me that her future father-in-law let her know in no uncertain terms the importance of becoming Lutheran and she willingly complied later teaching Sunday School. Soon after becoming LDS, I would become a Sunbeam teacher and like to think of my continuing the tradition. Grandma also shared about my mom and uncle and about her resisting alchohol when tempted by peers. It was so natural to be around Grandma. She would sometimes say what severe pain she was in with her rheumotid arthritis. We would later learn that she also had luekemia. In pain, she was so kind. I can remember Grandma and her appearance so well. I asked my mom what age she thinks of her mom. She said that she doesn't really think of what she looked like. Yes, she can conjure up an image. What she thinks of is not her appearance of auburn hair and a bigger bone structure than she and I or her wide smile that I would later see in a woman of a different race on my mission and remark how she looked like my Grandma. The woman in a good natured manner replied, "How did that happen?" I told her their smile was the same. They also had the same sweetness. That is something my mom also has. Grandma and pain was as I had known her. I couldn't take my mom going down that road. I couldn't loose even a part of my mom to that. I hate to see any signs of aging or even the slightest senior moments as her dad would have dementia. Also, I am not able to care for myself now. I am physically able. I am emotionally paralyzed. My mom helps me get dressed for work. Yes, I can get dressed by myself and had to when my scheduled changed briefly. Mornings found me crying and often less an article of clothing such as a sock as they fell on the ground or a shirt that met the same demise that was to be an extra layer for warmth. I can't open the fridge or do dishes. I used to do dishes for grandma some, but I did clog her sink. I have clogged ours before and we had to have a bucket under both our upstairs and downstairs. But that's not why I can't now. Well, I could, I sometimes dream of it. I am just too afraid to harm others or contaminate them. And when I am not so afraid, I don't take the leap. I helped mom out of the bath tub some when she needed help a few months back. I was glad to be of some service although I worried that I was contaminated. My shoulder started hurting and my dad said I was not allowed to do so nor did my mom want me to do so. Worthless is the feeling to have a mother in pain wait on you and feed you becase it is too hard to open the fridge. She took me to the basement three times in one day to help her do laundry. It was like walking miles with the concentration required to do each step. My heart is strong, I think. I can easily walk up and down stairs. However, the obstactles involved in this were so draining not to mention the things in my path that scare me. One day, I put in a load by myself though I was nervous passing certain things. On my road to independence by necessity. Then I got sick and did not seek out these small goals for a time. The basement was semi-cleared at a time, but not she says there is too much down there for me. It's like I feel strong and am feeling that there is no reason I should be afraid of what I fear much of the time. But yet, I still have meltdowns. My mom's arms were swollen again recently but it was thankfully short-lived. She is my best friend. We are built alike. She tells me that I write good poetry and she says that she has read a lot of poetry. I doubt that she has read what would constitute a lot of poetry. She has a high school degree and some college correspondence work in business classes and a nutrition class. When my dad worked nights, she read a short story anthology at one time as she was scared. She surprised me greatly once in saying a poem out of the blue. She had learned it in her school days and recited it. She is my mom/my friend/my caregiver/. I don't think I can live without her. That she has been spared the severe pain for at least now and has so much of her youth back. Oh, you should see her face light up looking at pictures of her grandbabies.—-I really didn't expect to write more than a few sentences but I really got going as you can see. It will be interesting to see if it will post. Feel free to edit for content if you like.
May 3rd, 2007 @ 7:15 pminsert thought. I dont' think I said what my mom thinks of in regards to her mom. When she thinks of her mom, she does not think of what she looked like. She thinks of how it felt around to be around her mom and be in the presence of such kindness and gentleness.
May 4th, 2007 @ 11:36 amBarb,
Thanks for your post. Its obvious that your family is very close and care so much for one another. Aren't we blessed to have such wonderful women in our lives?
I pray that you will be able to get over your paralyzing emotions and become the kind of woman that is able to care for your Mom and Dad as much as you have been cared for in your life. Thank you, again, for sharing. -
May 4th, 2007 @ 9:44 pmMelonie, thank you so much. I think that we can forge bonds for the eternities as we sacrifice for one another here. This is a unique Estate of our three Estates and this life has its greatest purposes when we minister to those who our own family. It know that I said a lot. Reading your post really was a springboard for so many emotions that I do often hold near and dear to my heart.
Jennifer B.
May 6th, 2007 @ 12:21 amWonderful Melonie. Thank you for sharing this beautifully intimate story.

MSP Good deals?
My fiancee and I are trying to cut back on our spending, but I really like eating out. Can you guys share some of your favorite deals/happy hours (more interested in food specials than drink specials). I know some places have 1/2 price wine on Mondays and Tuesdays. Any tips?
Kathie Jenkins does a nice job in today's Pioneer Press covering: half-price bottle of wine nights, (including Downtowner Woodfire Grill on Mondays, JP AMerican Bistro on Tuesdays, Kafe 421 on Weds, and French Meadow on Sat nights among others); dessert-on-your birthday specials (including at Bennett's Chophouse, Downtowner Woodfire Grill, Fabulous Fern's, I Nonni, Mancini's, among others); all you can eat sushi; kids eat free (Casper & Runyon's Shamrocks and Skinner's bar on Sundays; Bennett's chop house and Glockenspiel on Tuesdays; among others); really cheap ($1 burgers at Shamrock's after 8:30pm on Mondaysl $1.50 tacos at Skinner's on Saturdays); cheap meals including many we listed in this thread already, but also Cafe Levain on Sundays--$25 for a 3-course meal, $20 for a 3-course vegetarian meal); the daily 4-course meal at LBV's Lounge for $40; happy hours (including Murry's Prime Rib pizza; Triple Rock's Weds bacon strips 9-11pm; among others).
re: The Dairy Queen
Just to clarify...AFAIK...Kincaid's offers the 4 course meal before 6 only on Sundays. Check out there website as it lists the current choices. I had it once and it was a really good deal. Portions weren't large but enough to satisfy. This thread is a great resource...let's keep it going.
re: The Dairy Queen
For the west siders. Northcoast in Wayzata has a great deal in the offseason. $35 for a 5 course meal. $29 on sundays.
Of course, there are also the multitude of places in the city that are already cheap. Quang, la taqueria la hacienda, pineda tacos, holy land, and everything in the MGM to name a few.
re: churchka
Great list, churchka--frankly, those kinds of places are my favorite places anyway. To name a few more: Maverick's (in Roseville), Shish (Grand Ave, St. Paul), Saigon (on University Ave in St. Paul for as long as it stays open), Trung Nam (University Ave, St. Paul --good bahn mi if you get there before about 11am--not made to order and not open on Sundays), Jasmine Deli (Eat Street), Gorditas el Gordo (Lake Street, Minneapolis), Taqueria Los Ocampo (Lake Street MPLS), the vendors in Mercado Central (Lake Street MPLS). Dara mentions this place in her new blog: Korea Restaurant on the U of M's East Bank campus http://www.minnesotamonthly.com/media/Blogs/Dear-Dara/February-2008/Best-Cheap-Lunches-of-the-Metro-Part-1/ Here's her old City Pages "cheap eats" piece http://www.citypages.com/databank/27/1357/article14944.asp
And, here's a recent'ish "Cheap but Unique" thread http://www.chowhound.com/topics/474061
Oh yeah, Kramarczuk's, Russian Tea House (University Ave. St. Paul), Bravo Bakery (Grand Ave, St. Paul), Carbone's Pizza (on Randolph just west of Snelling St. Paul), Hot City Pizza (good sandwiches--West 7th St. Paul).
re: jenniegirl
Martini Blue used to have AYCE on Sundays ($30 I think?), and I read on here somewhere that 7 has a similar special, but I try not to support those guys. Ichiban has a sushi happy hour of some type...but when I want sushi I want the best, not what they're trying to get rid of or made an hour earlier.
In a recent post I was bemoaning the fact that sometimes the web just won't deliver when you ask a question, that one needs the exact phrasing to unearth a data gold nugget. Then in response to this thread I decided to go on another mining expedition. Sometimes ya just get lucky and the web piñata gives and gives great.
Here's a little something I found: http://wfmp.hubbarddeals.com/index.php?index_type=home From FM107 "Enjoy Twin Cities Restaurants at a Half-Off Price!" Neat-o.
You know those envelopes of coupons you toss every other week? They have a website that has a better selection of restaurants than are placed in the offerings I get. This, I think is a bit of a gem. I've used the zip for downtown Minneapolis to get a good distribution but plug in your own and see what pops up: http://www.valpak.com/coupons/home#R:55401 (One needs to click the Restaurants tab to see the restos).
Here is the deals page for the Minneapolis Convention and Visitors Bureau. Hey, just 'cause we live here doesn't mean we shouldn't benefit, right? http://www.minneapolis.org/page/1/deals-search-results.jsp
This next link requires patience, time and the willingness to click and click: CityPages Ad Index. I've discovered a few deals I would have missed otherwise. When I read the print version I guess I've trained my eyes to the center of the page to avoid the advertising. http://adindex.citypages.com/section.php?cat=100
Lastly, I know I've suggested this deal before but I do think it's a swell offer: Bryant-Lake Bowl. "Cheap Date Night every Mon from 6:00-12:30am: 2 special Entrees, 1 bottle of wine(or 2 tap beers each), 1 round of bowling all for $28.00 per couple" http://bryantlakebowl.com/faq.html
re: MplsM ary
"Here's a little something I found: http://wfmp.hubbarddeals.com/index.ph... From FM107 "Enjoy Twin Cities Restaurants at a Half-Off Price!" Neat-o."
There are other radio stations (I think it is a clear channel thing) that do these offers. Cities 97.1, KFAN, KDWB, there might be others as well. The Duplex has an offering coming up that I will be taking advantage of. You must read the fine print on these offers though. Some allow alcohol to be included, some let you return with the certificate if you don't use the full amount.
Also, it gets pretty mixed reviews on this board (I think it's pretty average), but Luci has specials on Tuesday & Thursday nights. Thursday: order 2 entrées and receive a free pasta to share. Tuesday: two "taster dinners" for $40.00.
Oh, someone mentioned a crazy $3 burger special at Cue. I'll see if I can't find that... EDIT: ah, here it is cleanyerplate mentioned it here: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/493556#3465479
Glockenspiel has a $5 off coupon on its website http://www.glockenspielrestaurant.com/ I like their appetizer platter.
If you like red sauce Italian, you can't beat Little Oven's early bird specials http://www.thelittleoven.com/Specials_EarlyBirdBonanza.html
Day by Day Cafe (for breakfast) has the "Very Early Bird" special if you get there before 7am: http://www.daybyday.com/cafe3.html
MSP mag did a blurb on specials, including a happy hour special at Saffron and early bird special at Campiello. They also list half-priced bottles of wine I know Highland and Longfellow Grill do that on Tuesday and Monday nights, respectively. I noticed Puerta Azul on Selby in St. Paul does one too--but I can't remember what night of the week. Call ahead to ask. http://www.mspmag.com/features/features/everyonelovesadeal/80737.asp
Lately, we've found ourselves at Bennett's in St. Paul. It seems they do a lot of from scratch cooking. The service is very earnest and the atmosphere very friendly and relaxed. Not a bad choice for meat and potatoes--the AYCE crab wasn't exceptional, though. Anyway, they have a happy hour special nightly and a different dinner discount each weeknight http://www.bennettschopandrailhouse.com/
Here's a couple of threads to get you started:

Cheap Fancypants Challenge http://www.chowhound.com/topics/345700The $20.21 prix fixe special at the 20.21 BAR ( at the Walker) Thursday nights. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/47406...
Ngon bistro has a $50 for two with a bottle of wine dinner special on Weds. nights (you might call ahead to confirm--I don't see the special on their website anymore...).
re: The Dairy Queen
$50 actually seems high for Ngon Bistro, perhaps because we've never gotten the entrees. I think you could eat extremely well there for less than $40 ($7 appetizer to split, $9 pho/noodles each, and a glass of wine each).
There's also Monday "date night" at Bryant Lake Bowl but they have a specific entree that you need to order for the price (I think $25). Broder's at 50th and Penn has an "after 8" special of 2 entrees, salad, and 1/2 bottle of wine for $26.
re: katebauer
Yes, you can less inexpensively for two than $50 at Ngon Bistro (in general, I think it's a good value, which I posted that on the cheap fancypants thread that I've linked) , but the $50 prix fixe for two --assuming they still offer it--gets you an appetizer, entree and dessert for each person PLUS a bottle of wine for the table. You're describing splitting an appetizer, no dessert, and just a single glass of wine for each person for $40. As good as that is, the extra $10 gets you a lot more!
Some of the entrees are really good--my fav is the ginger chicken.
re: katebauer
It sounds like a deal to me--for $10 more than what you described, you get another appetizer, two desserts, another couple glasses of wine, and actually entrees instead of pho. The OP didn't ask for the cheapest food in town--she asked for good deals.
There are cheaper places in town for pho, by the way than Ngon Bistro--personally, I don't think pho is what Ngon does best, though, I do enjoy the pho there.
But, I see your point about $50 being a lot. But, it's not a lot for what you get.
