Fielder wins Home Run Derby over Bautista
- Tweet
- Share this
KANSAS CITY (Reuters) - Detroit Tigers slugger Prince Fielder won the Home Run Derby for the second time in four years on Monday by outslugging Jose Bautista in an enthralling match-up of two of the game's top long-ball hitters.
Fielder, who won the title in 2009, blasted 12 homers in the championship round, while Bautista managed only seven in the annual event as part of the run-up to Tuesday's All Star Game.
One of the game's top sluggers, Fielder started slowly with only five homers in the first round but had 11 in the second before his record-tying 12 in the final round.
Fielder, whose 28 homers averaged 432 feet, admitted hitting in this kind of competition is hard.
"You see me, I'm sweating, out of breath, and it's definitely not easy," he said. "It's just, you know, if you get in a groove and have a good thrower like I did, good things can happen."
Fielder and Ken Griffey, Jr., who took the crown in 1994, 1998 and 1999, are the only players to win the competition more than once.
Bautista, whose 27 homers this year is tied for the AL lead, was even with Los Angeles Angels slugger Mark Trumbo after two rounds but won a playoff to reach the championship round against Fielder.
Trumbo and Bautista had 13 homers apiece after two rounds, while Carlos Beltran of the St. Louis Cardinals had 12 to miss out on a chance for the title.
Each player remained at the plate until he got 10 "outs", any swing that did not result in a home run, per round.
The top four homer hitters moved on to the second round and the players with the two top combined totals for rounds one and two advanced to the finals.
Those not making it beyond the first round were: Carlos Gonzalez of the Colorado Rockies (four homers); Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates (four); Matt Kemp of the Los Angeles Dodgers (one); and defending champion Robinson Cano of the New York Yankees(zero).
The loudest outburst from the crowd was actually a round of jeers for Cano, who, as captain of the AL squad, failed to choose Kansas City designated hitter Billy Butler for the four-man crew.
Each time Cano, who was sporting gold cleats for the occasion, failed to hit a home run, the sold-out crowd of more than 40,000 erupted in delight.
Cano earned a measure of revenge as the AL out-homered their counterparts 61-21.
The longest shot of the night was a 476-foot monster Fielder smacked that landed in the Kauffman Stadium fountains in centerfield. The Tigers first baseman had the four longest homers of the night.

Plumbing Problems Can Be Different
Plumbing problems can be different. It can be a small but annoying issue or an emergency plumbing problem. It could be a low water pressure in your house or no water at all due to incoming water line bursting. It can be the creaking noises that come from the plumbing pipes within the walls of home. A properly functioning furnace with thermostat is necessary to heat homes during cold seasons. Not to mention, our kitchen or bathroom cannot function without cold and hot water and drainage.
The most common area of homes that suffers from plumbing problem is a kitchen sink which is mostly due to the fact that it is the most-used part of our home. Frequently clogged drain pipe can cause headaches. We all have some kitchen repair skills and we think that do-it-yourself plumbing repairs can save money. However, sometimes, it can worsen the situation. For example, liquid drain cleaners usually contain chemicals that may damage older types of pipes (not to mention, they are toxic).
How often we hear that a child accidentally flushes a toy down the toilet? Unfortunately, it happens. You may try different ways to get it out but in some cases it can be not easy. Eventually, you may discover that the best way to get the toy out of the toilet is to simply call a plumber.
Another example is a water heater. It is important part of our home that should have a periodic maintenance. Such basic requirement is ignored by owners very often. That is why heaters can stop working due to rust and corrosion. Replacing water heater is hard and it can be really risky to do it yourself. The quickest and easiest way to replace a water heater is to have it done by a plumbing professional.
Plumbing problems can be different. Some of them are simple to do it yourself. Some require a special expertise or immediate attention. In any situations it is better first to consider consulting with a local plumber.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Geothermal Country Notes
Hungary possesses very considerable geothermal resources and it has been estimated that the country has the largest underground thermal water reserves and geothermal potential (low and medium enthalpy) in Europe.
To date, there has been no utilisation of geothermal energy for the production of electricity. The principal applications of geothermal power used directly are for balneological purposes, greenhouse heating, space heating, industrial process heat and other uses. It has been reported that geothermal heat pumps represent an additional 4 MWt.
There are around 3 000 abandoned oil industry exploration wells that may potentially be transformed for geothermal use. In late-2006 it was announced that the Hungarian Oil and Gas Company (MOL) was working in conjunction with Enex of Iceland and Green Rock Energy of Australia, and with support from the World Bank's Geothermal Energy Development Fund (GeoFund) would be undertaking a pre-feasibility study on the possibility of building a 2-5 MWe geothermal power plant at Iklódbördöce in western Hungary. Drilling is taking place in disused hydrocarbon exploration wells. The plant would supply its surplus heat for agricultural, industrial purposes and district heating.

At the end of the basketball season we have a tournament to see who will win. My team was in the championship against another team to win the game. The game was tied and there were just a few seconds left in the game. This girl was just about to shoot a foul shot to help us win the game. She was not very good and usually didn't make many of her shots. We were all ready to rebound it if she missed. She shot it... and then she made it! We were so happy and proud of her.
Through her mind she probably felt nervous and had a lot of pressure on her because she was deciding the result of the game.

As I was driving to uni today, my top felt weird. Like all bunchy around my arm pit (gross, arm pits). I just assumed I hadn't pulled it on properly and it was all caught up, so with one hand, I tried to adjust it as I was driving but to no avail. Half an hour or so later, I couldn't stand it any longer so balancing the steering wheel with my knees, I used both hands to straighten myself up … and pulled out a sock. There was a sock in my top. A sock. In my top. This particular top never needs ironing, just gets folded straight from the clean washing and put away, so I guess the sock was stuck inside. Now at least the other sock has its mate back.
My lecturer called me ditzy last week. I'd forgotten to do a section of an assignment and when I told her and said that I'd have it to her by the end of the day, she just looked at me. Then she said, "You've been a bit ditzy this semester, haven't you?" I've been called a lot of things before but never ditzy. She is completely right though, this semester has been a clusterfuck of ditziness.
I've been missing classes and lectures (accidentally and intentionally), handing assignments in two days passed their due dates, not reading the texts, and feeling completely and totally overwhelmed. End of semester isn't far away at all but it really can't come soon enough. I need to rein in my mind, I don't know where it is – still in Vietnam? Running around in a field of yellow daises, in total denial about how much work we've still got to do? – but it's sure as hell not been on the job.
Though my existential crisis wasn't resolved by the expected time (24 April at 2.04pm), I think it has, for the most part, passed without causing too much damage. I still don't really know what my purpose is – does anyone? – but I came to the conclusion that as long as I keep questioning life every now and then, that means I'm open to change and growth and that can't be a bad thing. I'm happy with that for now.
Other than feeling like uni is trying to eat me alive, life has been good. I've been feeling way more social than usual. I finally caught up with my high school best friend who I haven't seen for over a year, despite living less than a ten minute drive away. We laughed so much that when I coughed at work the next day, my stomach hurt with the intensity of a thousand sit-ups. Always a good sign of a fun night.
What have you guys been up to? I've missed you.

In 1984 Activision released their adaptation of the classic movie Ghostbusters. I was 12 and remember after seeing the movie wanting the game more than George Michael's Careless Whisper which, in hindsight, was quite a sensible choice. Ghostbusters 1984 game The ghost of pixels past As Ray Parker Junior says "I ain't 'fraid …
One of the first games that I played until it was way past bedtime.
Had the C64 version...
From memory, it was a bit more colorful[sic]
Re: Had the C64 version...
Yes, It took about five minutes of tape to load up the sample. Once you were done playing it, it spent another five minutes loading the game.
Re: Had the C64 version...
It was a one-song Karaoke machine too, showing the song lyrics with the little bouncing ball marking the rhythm.
"He slimed me!"
Re: Had the C64 version...
"And it talked"
Ahem. The Spectrum version talked too. Kind of. If you heard a chap say "he slimed me" with a mouth full of porridge and hula-hoops in another room, you'd get the idea. Still, clever stuff from a single sound channel which could emit only beeps.
Halcyon days, rose spectacles, etc, etc. Man, I miss Trans Am.
Re: Had the C64 version...
Oh and it said "ghostbusters" too, only that was said with a mouth full of dry rice while frantically scrunching crisp bags.
Re: Had the C64 version...
It must be hard for anyone who didn't born in 70s to understand the amazing thing. It talked.
Man, poor other 8 bit computer users, it was a shocking upperhand came from nowhere. "my Atari has 256 colors", "my game talks". Instant mute.
Also,c64 tape loading (thanks to turbo code) was light speed compared to Atari, spectrum etc. Weak machine on specifications, better developers...
Spent hours playing this with my cousin on his CPC464 and had, until today, completely forgotten about it. Nice one Reg, that brought a smile to my face!
I had this on the Master System, the dancing stay-puft wasn't the boss fight at all, it was the second stage of four. You needed to get past him, go through a platforming-style level of climbing the buildings stairs to the roof, then fight Gozer. Or did this version omit the last 2 stages?
That's right; I had it on the Amstrad, and I always assumed that getting past Stay Puft was the climactic battle, and then when I played it on my friend's Master System, I was shocked to see that there was still more to do!
And who could forget the classic NES version's "ending sequence":
This ending sequence is an easter egg in the new Ghostbusters game. (Well, it's a couple of years old now). The message is displayed on a computer screen in the fire house.
Press Space on Intro
Had the C64 version
The Intro was a SID version of the Ghostbusters theme, with kareoke lyrics! Pressing Space on got it to say "Ghostbusters!"
I never did finish it, though I tended to buy the VW Beetle instead of the ambulance/hearse.
I recall getting to a ghost scene was a bit of a top down racing game where you had to catch ghosts.
And if you failed to catch a ghost, another bit of speech - "He slimed me!" revolutionary at the time!
One of the best film-to-game conversions until Goldeneye!
Re: Press Space on Intro
With allowances for the terrible sound chip and weird colour mapping , I can assure you the Spectrum version was identical. The game went
1) Run Ghostbusters logo around a map of New York, ensuring you run across each ghost coming in from the corners.
2) If no buildings are flashing, find buildings that change colour. Probably only works if you buy the right equipment. Ghost sensor? Can't remember.
3) Hit Space and drive along a straight road, pressing and hold Space when ghosts come near to suck them in, so long as you bought a Ghost Vacuum. "Skillful" drivers would entertain themselves bouncing four ghosts off the bottom of the screen for minutes at an end. By "skillful" I mean "people as sad as me".
4) Capture a ghost, or have a stupid random ghost bouncing out of the beams situation, when you find you can't back your people away because they don't know how to walk backwards. At this point the ghost flies randomly around the side of the screen leaving you to either hope it flies over the middle (unlikely, but hit Space fast if it happens), or you give up and cross the streams (don't worry, they short out), or your power runs out. In the latter two cases, the Spectrum spits something that sounds like Sean Connory putting on an American accent and speaking through a crisp packet.
5) Go home, rinse, and repeat.
6) At the end of the game, get stamped on by the Marshmallow Man because the Spectrum's edge-detection was so ropy you only need a single pixel of an 8x16 block around the Marshmallow Man to touch the edge of an 8x8 block Ghostbuster for your Ghostbuster to die.
What an amazing game, and I don't mean that ironically. I still play it sometimes.
That ghost at the corner of 5th and Park Avenue looks like it's going to be sick!
Cheers! Here's to 2 glorious colours per 8 pixels.
(Ray Parker Jr. was apparently not afraid of no lawsuit either. Cheers to Huey Lewis while we're at it)
The best Ghostbusters game by far was the Megadrive version. It was nothing like the 8-bit versions, instead an excellent platformer with Super-Deformed caricatures of the actors from the film.
It's still worth a play, great game.
I believe Ecto1 was an ambulance not a hearse.
Mind you if Ecto1 was an ambulance, it must have had an umpalumpa crew.
Re: I believe Ecto1 was an ambulance not a hearse.
Indeed, an ambulance. Anoraks at the ready: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostbusters_(franchise)#Transportation
Re: I believe Ecto1 was an ambulance not a hearse.
The hearse/ambulance confusion comes from the UK not having ambulances that shape. Only one type of car with room for just one in the back this side of the pond.
Killed my spectrum +2 playing this, left the old warhorse running a few days solid during the summer hols >.<
I was a huge fan of the film as a kid but remember being massively disappointed by the game (ZX Speccy 48k). It was hugely repetitive and not much fun. I probably only played it a handful of times before returning to Penetrator or Green Beret.
He's gonna take you back to the past....
I strongly suggest you watch the AVGN review of this (that is, the NES version)...
Re: He's gonna take you back to the past....
He also reviewed several other versions of the same game. I believe it became a trilogy of videos. He also thought they were a right lot of shit.
Had this on the CPC464. Played in on a green screen though.
This article made me smile. Cheers.
This story brings back memories. Memories of GB not being a very good game. The author was 12. Embarrassingly, I was more like 17. How old were others ?
"In 1984 Activision released their adaptation of the classic movie Ghostbusters. I was 12 and remember after seeing the movie wanting the game more than George Michael's Careless Whisper which, in hindsight, was quite a sensible choice."
Hardly surprising really!
ZX Spectrum
This article relates to the Spectrum version of the game. The endgame on this platform did indeed consist merely of trying to get past Stay-Puft and that was it. I did download a snapshot of the end sequence once as although I did reach it once I didn't get past it. It was very disappointing... just a brief message.
I believe that other 8-bit platforms had a longer and more elaborate ending... but I've never seen those either
As always the best thing (especially the 128k version) was the music!
Toasted marshmellow
It's worth bearing in mind that the original Ghostbusters game (for the C64) was rushed out in 6 weeks [*] - not quite as bad as the infamously short dev time for Atari's ET game, but still pretty bad.
Even so, it was surprisingly fun to play, though the gameplay was somewhat unbalanced - the driving/ghost-hoovering element quickly became repetitive and once you'd earned enough cash, you just had to sit and wait for the EP levels to reach maximum and trigger the end-game: you couldn't even go back to the shop to upgrade your equipment.
(though for Spectrum gamers (and possibly others - I haven't checked), there was a glitch/easter egg which could save you some cash during the initial game: entering "0" as the car-type gave you a solid black rectangle which was cheaper than the rest of the options!)
It's also worth noting that a nice person produced a remake of the Ghostbusters game - http://www.classic-retro-games.com/GhostBusters_193.html
Unfortunately, they then suffered a HDD failure and lost all of the source-code, which killed dead any chance of further updates and improvements...
[*] Wikipedia claims 8 months; David Crane states six weeks - http://www.edge-online.com/features/making-ghostbusters . Take yer pick ;)

"(though for Spectrum gamers (and possibly others - I haven't checked), there was a glitch/easter egg which could save you some cash during the initial game: entering "0" as the car-type gave you a solid black rectangle which was cheaper than the rest of the options!)"
The problem with that was that you couldn't suck up any ghosts!
Re: Toasted marshmellow
but what you could do was at the end of the game get a magic string (forgot if it was just a string or a username/passwd combo), and if you typed that magic string at startup of a new game, you did not start with $10K, but with the amount of money you ended the previous game with.
And then you could buy the hearse and all the other goodies, and earn more money and .....
Memories lol
I loved this game (mainly as its one of few I have managed to actually finish lol ) so thanks for the link and your copping the blame for my afternoon being written off lol .
Great game as a two player but I always found catching ghosts impossible solo. Thankfully my neice was quite good as the second player and we beat Mr Stay-Puft a few times.
Just when you thought it was safe to make a cup of tea....
No mention of load-invaders? How dare you???
Re: Just when you thought it was safe to make a cup of tea....
Yes, just what I was going to say! I remember Invade-a-load popping up the first time the game was loading and thinking it was an utterly brilliant way to deal with the long load times. Anyone know if it was C64 only or if the Speccy version had it too?
Re: Just when you thought it was safe to make a cup of tea....
It won't have been on the Spectrum; the C64 had specialised tape hardware that generated interrupts to signify incoming data. So the CPU sat there mostly idle, waiting to be alerted to input. The Spectrum essentially just had a 1-bit analogue-to-digial converter, so to load data the CPU ran a continuous polling loop, incrementing internal counters for timing. So if you want to spend CPU time on anything other than just watching the tape, you have to engineer suitable opportunities into your data stream, which means lowering the loading speed. So Spectrum games usually just left a static screen up and almost never went beyond a ticking counter. You could do a full game but then you'd need to ensure incoming tape data was really very slow indeed.
I only got to play this in Boot's, (arcade of choice during the eighties),
C64 was the better version mind because of the music, (however never bought it), because didn't have a C64 at home.
Fond memories
I bought the C64 version of Ghostbusters from a local department store, and I remember it as my first crack. A friend had shown me how to use the Hesmon assembler cartridge (this was before the days of Datel's Action Replay and push-button cracking!) to step through a game's code and track down the part that checked for errors on the disk - this was inevitably a copy-protection scheme (DRM on the C64 mainly consisted of deliberately writing errors on the disk and then checking for them, since an error wouldn't be copied by most disk copiers of the day.) He'd walked me through cracking Beach Head, but Ghostbusters was my first solo crack.
I still remember dancing with excitement around my bedroom after finally locating the disk-error-check code and replacing it all with NOP instructions, saving out the memory along with the auto-start pointer, and cheekily replacing the "Copyright 1984 Activision" message with a cracked-by notice, saving it all out to disk, and getting it working.
Especially considering the error-based copy-protection hammered the 1541 disk drive head out of alignment (but since when did DRM fucks ever give a shit about making your life hard or destroying your equipment if it means saving their precious intellectual property?) it meant that I would crack every game I bought thereafter, not only for the thrill but also to save my disk drive!
Fun times indeed...
Atari 2600 version
Had the one for the Atari 2600, which was cut down, but still fun to play. Lent it to another family and the parents got the sound of the theme stuck in their head.

... you know the ones.
I wasn't invited to Kenya to blog Compassion's relief efforts because I'm special or because my blog is a certain size.
Kristin –
God really IS using you to reach others. Because of your blog I have been now reading the posts of all the people with you in Kenya and God has broken my heart.
This morning my husband and I (and our children) chose to sponsor Fred, he is 6 years old, from a family of 7 children living in Kenya. He has been waiting for more than 6 months for a sponsor and I feel so grateful that God is going to let our family reach out. We get a chance to be a small part of something big that God is going to do in this little boys life.
Thank you so much!
Blessings on your journey.
That last picture made my heart skip a beat.
Just incredible.
The picture of the "kitchen" made my heart ache. Thanks for sharing a bit of your journey with us.
I could swim in that baby's eyes. What an amazing and life changing experience….for you, for them, and hopefully for many of us. Thank you.
Your blog posts are awesome…God's light is just shining through you in exactly the way you described in this post. You are serving the role you have been called to in a wonderful way, thank you.
The little boy in the video has the passion and expressions to be a preacher! I could see it in him! Thank you for your posts, they are beautiful!
What a beautiful people. Through your blog and the wonderful pics, I feel as though I am with you today…. Kristen, Thank You for letting God speak through you so we will be touched down deep. Your heart felt words WILL make a difference. I love you so much. Mom
Awesome!! LOL @ Kristin.. my sister and I all have american names.. Becky, Barbara, Jane, etc. I am so proud to have met you and see all the work your are doing in my Continent.. Thank You.
it's good to see what Compassion is doing in Kenya! I sponsor a child in Kenya and was fortunate to meet her twice, was great to see her in real life. However there is one disappointing thing written in this article, they mention female genital mutilation which the masaai practice, which is a very bad thing, but male genital mutilation was ignored. They are both equally wrong and both sexes should be offered equal rights and would encourage Compassion to do so.
Keep up the good work!
Your blog. You. Thank you. We have a new "daughter" named Ana.
You're doing a good thing.
we sponsored another child today. (we're now sponsoring 2.) I hope to travel to meet them one day. thanks for sharing your story!
Thank you so much for sharing their story & life!
We are sponsoring two children, one from Kenya, the other from El Salvador.
Praying this important message softens many hearts out there!
Kristen – I'm sorry for spelling your name wrong earlier!
Kristen, I have been sitting here scrolling through your recent posts while you are in Kenya, so thankful for your heart–for compassion–and for all you doing.
God bless you and the many lives you touch on your journey.
Hello Kristen,
Could you tell us more about how Compassion helps or respects the thin line between helping the Masai (according to what we feel is more acceptable / reasonable) and honouring their culture?
For instance, I find female and male ritual circumcision cruel and rather horrendous, but I imagine that it is very important in their culture as rites of passage, signs that they belong to their tribe.
From what you've seen, what is Compassion's stance on that?
Hi Iva,
I wish I could tell you more. Please read the story from the Maasai woman. I do know that Compassion teaches the children/families a different way, a better way. There are also advocates in the world against this kind of practice. So, basically, they educate them.
I also know that most Massai who become Christian DO NOT practice polygamy or this practice. There were actually two men who introduced themselves by their name and said I'm the Husband of one wife.
Of course women and men who practice these traditions and then get saved are not persecuted or condemned for their cultural ways.
I hope that helps. I have a limited understanding, but I'm learning. Also, please feel free to contact Compassion directly. They are very open and are happy to answer ALL questions.
wow1 I just realized that you are in Kenya with the same Compassion group as The Pioneer Woman's friend Pastor Ryan from Ohio. She linked to his blog and you have a picture of him on your blog–small world:)–even half way around the world.
Thanks for the great posts and God bless you.
Linda C
Hello, I found your blog via someone elses…anyhow, I have ALWAYS wanted to sponsor a child..since I was little and I came across your blog and your sidebar of Compassions-I clicked on it and signed up! Thank you so much for your care and blog! I can't wait to read all about it! Thank you so much-for doing ALL that you are doing…
i dont know how african women do it, there's no way I could walk with that bag on my head, let alone simply stand there without it falling off! Kristen, I love reading your posts…thinking about just linking to your blog for my posts on the Catalyst page great to be with you on this trip! let's go to church!
He Said,
I see in the eyes of my beautiful wife the love of Christ. The same love she extended to me when I needed forgiveness of dirty sin.
I see in the eyes of Kenya's children hope. Hope because you, beautiful readers of We are THAT family, coming alongside to sponsor children and pray.
I see in Christ, the hope of glory, children that I, small insignificant me, will one day sing HIS praises with in heaven.
In the words of an old song, "This world is not our home. We are merely passing through. Our treasures are laid somewhere beyond the blue."
Jesus said, "For where your treasure is, there you are heart will be also."
Join Kristen and I and invest in a heavenly IRA by sponsoring one or two of these precious children.
Will another new dress or golf club make you happy? No. Sponsoring a child will make an eternal difference.
With love,
Terrell Welch
Tears, joy, pangs of despair and most of all HOPE. Thank you, Kristen, and others, who are brave enough to listen and serve.
I just showed the kids these pictures. thank you
Oh Kristen, my heart goes out to your heart. You ARE gifted. It wasn't an accident you were chosen, and I bet the results of your efforts will exceed far beyond your imagination, maybe something you'll never even know, but it's going on in the hearts of those who read your words and the lives you're touching on that trip this very moment.
Much love to you!
Just found your blog today. Beautiful! I am a single mom of 6 and we sponsored our first 4 children about 4 yrs ago. We now sponsor 9 and hope one day to visit them too. What an experience you must be having! Sherri
What a wonderful opportunity you are having! I look forward to reading your new adventures!
My family and I just started sponsoring 2 children a little over a month ago.
Not sure where exactly you guys will be going in Kenya but one of our sponsored children is at the African Inland Church–Ikanga Child Development Center. If you happen to go there and think of it, please find Mercy Njeri Kenneth, give her a huge hug and tell her that her sponsor family loves and prays for her every single day.
God bless you guys on your trip and have a safe return home.
Your post is heartbreaking and inspiring. I am a teacher in AL and my class studies and learns about Kenya every year! We also have a 20 minute presentation on Kenya that we present for the school. I would love to hear more about your trip and any additional information you would be willing to share with me and my curious 1st grade students!
Oh. my.. I have just been mesmerized by your blog. Thank you-thank you so much for sharing. I am now a follower. I just love this blog!
Thank you for sharing this amazing experience. Thank you for sharing your love, His love through you.
I have a beloved friend working in Tanzania. It is so easy to glorify her work in my head, but my heart reminds me that it is not an easy calling. She longs to love the Maasai women, but they are often hidden in their tents. May God give strength to the weary and send laborers to hold up the arms of his beloved.
This is awesome works of charity,you are a true missionary,thanks for stepping out of your comfort zone to reach out the needy in Africa,may the Lord bless your ministry and family.
HI! I'm Kristen. I'm here to encourage you as a wife and mom and remind you there's a little bit of THAT family in all of us. I write books, run Mercy House and try to remember I am third (God first, others second). I'm glad you're here.

The vanilla and the cinnamon are great. The cinnamon makes my truck smell like the fall. And I'm addicted to the smell of vanilla. They actually last pretty long too. It's not too overbearing like other air fresheners I've used. It looks pretty cool too!

Sorry for the long title but it is said simply. A break through happened where people using various ways could travel to whole new worlds, dimensions, and universes. Well one person decided to go to an empty universe and created an academy where teens of all times to come and harness the full potential of their power. Now in this school, there are no normal classes. There classes such as: tech of war, basic magic, strategics, partnerships, etc. Each one being vital. Tech of war- learn how to build certain machines and gadgets to gain an advantage of your opponent. Basic magic- magic even in its basic form can be a very good weapon and defense and sometimes tech just won't cut it. Strategics- if you don't think smart then ou might as well be dead, even the toughest of opponents on the battlefield can fall with a well devised strategy. Partnerships- one day no matter what, you will end up getting help, this class helps you compliment your partners abilities with the use of your own. A good pair of partners can take down the mightiest does when they combine their power.
So there will be more classes than that and if I can think of any more than there will be two teachers for each class, Like an a day b day thing, plus with different teachers, they teach different things allowing for fresh info and so forth. So with these classes there is a lot of room for character development, if you don't know magic, you learn it, don't know tech, you learn it. Yea you won't be a master if its new to you but it is still development.
So what do y'all think?

Consumer: (800) 4-MAKITA makitatools.com
Tommy Hayden piloted his Suzuki GSX-R1000 tuned with Makita power tools to victory in race two at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. This marks his third career Superbike win, and places him a mere four points out of the championship lead. "Hats off to my team!" said Hayden. "They made great changes to my bike after yesterday, and today it did exactly what I wanted it to do." Hayden got off to an excellent start in the race by putting himself just behind the leader going into turn one, and quickly making his move for the lead. Tommy held the lead position for several laps before briefly dropping back to second, but a few laps later Tommy was back on the gas and regained the lead. As the race wore on, the heat began to take its toll on both riders and machines. While many of the riders were slowing due to the heat, Tommy and his GSX-R began to pull away from the competition. Tommy crossed the finish line with a 0.194 second lead, earning him his third Superbike victory and 31 points toward the championship. The next round of the AMA American Superbike Championship will take place at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California on July 23-25. With only four points separating Tommy from the championship lead, this is one race that you won\'t want to miss!

The Duck
Online Reservations
We were very pleased with our meal. Excellent wine choices and delicious martinis!! Will be going back for sure!
We eat at THE DUCK every time we go to Brimfield for the antique fair. Food is always good as is the service. This visit, we had ordered a appetizer that was sub par, we mentioned this to the waitress, and she immediately said she would take it off the bill. Our favorite entree is their fish stew, which never disappoints. They also had a duet singing in the bar area which while close to the dining area, doesn't interfere with dinner conversation.
Got my favorite table (corner by the stairs), with my favorite drink (Planter's punch), eating my favorite meal (chicken Alfredo) listening to my favorite guitarist (Rob) and of course dining with my favorite wife :^) Carol. My favorite waitress (Tammy) was serving in the main room however I was very impressed with Jammy as our waitress.
We lived in Sturbridge for over thirty years and went to the Ugly Duckling frequently. This was our first visit back in six years and we went to The Duck. Brought back good memories. Food was very good and wait staff was very attentive. Definitely recommend The Duck for a pleasant evening.
Great staff...live singer and guitar music....good food made a nice evening out with friends. Very attentive to gluten free...have separate menu bread and pasta.
We have been eating at this restaurant for years and have never been disappointed. Our only complaint is the noise level, especially on a Saturday evening.
The food is always good, we had a nice waitress and we love the fact it has live music. Awesome guitar player. We will be back. Quack!
The fried green beans with garlic lemon aioli were a treat to start our meal. My friend was charmed by the chicken salad (sandwich) with grapes, while I enjoyed the crispy chicken wrap with favorful pickled red onions. The pickling kept them from overwhelming my palate, which I appreciated. Fries were crispy and wonderful, but I concentrated on the wrap. Must say I'm very happy to see the tone of the wood and high-ceilinged room remains, along with the unique bar setup and some favorites like Torta Rustica. Nicely executed and delicious for a lunch!
The Duck's food, service and associates made our gathering a wonderful afternoon. We came for a retirement party from Connecticut and Massachusetts and all agreed it was worth the drive. This was the second of our gatherings and we have all enjoyed the food and appreciated the wonderful service.
Our out-of-town guests asked "what's good here" when we first arrived. My husband and I looked at each other, and both said "We've never had a bad meal here", and we have been coming for years. As always, the food was great, our server was obviously familiar with the ever-changing menu and made helpful recommendations, service was timely on a busy Saturday evening, and the music was wonderful. We hadn't been for dinner here in some time. The main reason was the fact that, in the past, The Duck didn't take reservations. We have discovered that is no longer the case, and this will be our go-to place when we have guests.
Quality fod, well prepared & presented. Knowlegeable, helpful wait staff. kitchen was flexible in accommodating our needs. Q Tim, our waiter, was a consummate professional.
The food is always excellent here, and beautifully presented. My orange glazed salmon was grilled perfectly. Homemade wild blueberry ice cream was a treat. Good wine list. Comfortable casual atmosphere.
Great Meal. Great Service. Would recommend to friends.
It was the first time we'd been to The Duck and we found a variety of choices on the menu, including drinks, wine, and beer, good food and service, and reasonable prices. The dinner salads and bowls of soup are large, so be prepared if you add that to your entree. The ribs were good and smoky flavored, meatloaf was excellent, and bouillabaisse was also excellent. The crowd was mixed; not many children or families (but we ate at 7:30) and many couples and small groups of friends, ages 30s-60s. The live music was a little loud; it was difficult to converse with more than one person. The bar is cool - sunken with captain chair seats. We would definitely go back.
Had not been in a long time. Food was excellent, service was good, server was very outgoing, menu had something for everyone.
We are local and bring friends for good food and a good time in the great atmosphere. The service and food overall is excellent. My husband, mostly vegetarian, has only 2-3 choices and feels the Caesar salad could have more flavor, our friends and myself find it very good. The big Martinis are wonderful. As is the entertainment.!
Pre-Stageloft Theatre production dinner. Great service, great food, great time.
Originally, our reservation was for 6 people. We also needed to be seated downstairs, as one of our party was elderly & couldn't walk up the stairs. When we arrived, 15minutes early, the restaurant wasn't quite open, but the hostess was very gracious & said, "I wouldn't just let you stand around!" It was also no problem to change from 6 to 4 people & we could go upstairs because our elderly lady had to cancel. No one ever made us feel "in the way" & our waitress brought us bread & menus very quickly. We all raved about our meals too. We will definitely be back!
We were passing thru the area and found great reviews on the Duck. We had a very nice dinner, food was very good, waitress service was good, not great. We sat at the Bar afterwards for a drink and the bar tender served us a drink. We sat there for quite some time waiting for her to ask if we wanted a something else. She sort of tried to avoid looking at us. Finally we called her over. Felt like she was trying to push us out.
Good food with a wide selection from sandwiches to pasta to steaks. A few single malts at the bar. Attentive service. Quiet if you go early, but can be fairly noisy later.
Because The Duck is located close to the Mass Pike, it is an easy spot to meet friends and family. The menu has something for every taste.
This is the second time I have eaten at The Duck and once again, had a great meal. All four of us enjoyed our dinner, our waitress, and the atmosphere. Great job!
The restaurant was too noisey for me. They had a folk singer who tried to sing over the patrons, which only made things worse. Also, they need to use real ice tea and not the stuff they have now. The food was good as usual. My husband said his hamburg was outstanding.
We have dined at "The Duck" ever since it was "The Whistling Swan".....and enjoyed it for many years. We decided we had not been in a long time so we decided to give it a shot once again under the new name and menu. We were not disappointed! The menu offered many new choices, as well as a handful of "classic Swan" choices. The food was prepared perfectly and with generous portions. It was delicious. The service was attentive and thorough, without being annoying. Pricing was about the same....fairly moderate. I remember it was delicious and I would order it again without hesitation! Live musicians were on hand and presented a lovely ambiance to our dinner.
We were three couples, coming from CT, NH and Rockport, MA to meet for our annual get-together. We men are classmates from the Naval Academy, Class of 1957. When we arrived we were dismayed to find that we had reserved for a place that is upstairs with no elevator, and we're all in varying stages of low mobility. No problem for Duck! They set us up downstairs and gave us great service and food! The waitress even put up with our elderly humor!
On a Friday night, the atmosphere is perfect. Dim lighting, good wine, perfectly cooked steak (medium-rare, thank you) and live music. The noise level was higher than most restaurants, but it was lively, and not so loud that I had to yell to carry on a conversation. Definitely worth the 25 minute ride to get there!
We had a wonderful dinner. I had a steak perfectly prepared from grass fed local cattle, and the best truffle fries ever... I can't recommend them highly enough... they alone are worth the drive from where ever you are coming. The Duck is convenient for us because it is in Sturbridge where the Mass Pike and 84 merge. It is just perfect as a local stop for us. The service is welcoming and attentive.and we look forward to our next visit
The steak and lobster was excellent. The music was good and the drinks were also very good. Was anything exceptional? No, but still a nice evening out...
We eat at the Duck every time we go to Brimfield for the antique fair and this time it was the best it has been. We had their heirloom tomato salad and bouillabaisse. The bouillabaisse was the best we've had all year, the spicy broth was full of vegetables, and the seafood was well cooked. Hard to find better in the area.
Came for the third time in 10 days, this time with five guests and got seated in the overflow room! Which was disappointing, as I chose the Duck this time to have fun in the main room...
We were their with 4 other people and it was a little noisy for conversation but everything else was fine. Reasonable prices. Excellent prime rib. Sorry we hadn't gone sooner this summer.
Our dinner at The Duck was excellent, the service was good, the live music was terrific, the ambience created by the architecture as well as the delight that was obvious in all of the patrons at the restaurant, made for a great night out. I highly recommend The Duck.
A great find in Sturbridge. Food was outstanding from start to finish. Scrod was prepared beautifully and the soups, French Onion and Clam Chowder were some of the best. Well worth the short drive if at a conference in Southbridge.
The Duck is in an historic building like so many places in Sturbridge. The food was very good, but there's not much room at the tables. It's a fun place.
Pleasant atmosphere although a bit dark, good food, live entertainment.
A little hidden gem. The service was terrific, food dynamite and the atmosphere was intimate with low level ambient lighting. I was there for a business meeting but would definitely return for a romantic dinner. A must if you are in Sturbridge.
Great place with reasonable prices. Come here all the time.
Our friends recommended we go. We were not disappointed.
All of the meals were really good and my husband and I finished our meals in the restaurant. The kids had plenty to eat and leftovers to take home.
I met my mom for dinner at The Duck and we had a really good meal. My grilled scallops came with butternut squash rizzoto and sauteed kale, and everything was delicious! A perfect fall meal. We shared some oysters which were pretty good, and the bread with olive oil was very tasty as well. I will definitely go back when I'm in the area again.
The Duck was was chosen for our first date. .and all we could say was. ."I love this place"..the ambience was awesome. The view from our window. .colors of red, orange, yellow from the fall foliage. ..it took us us less than 15 seconds to choose our meal...Salmon..wish was delicious. I had a glass of Moscato..very good..a beautiful place for an unforgettable experience.
Old barn, very charming, Clean, nicely lit, good and diverse menu with reasonable prices. I would highly recommend it
We were seated right away. We ordered martinis, the red velvet We split the apple,cranberry,pear, blue cheese, walnut salad. It was delicious. The main course I ordered the special 10 oz pork chop with an apple cream sauce, roasted actors squash, and I asked them to substitute rice pilaf for the house garlic mashed potatoes. Pork was grilled to perfection not over cooked still tender and juicy, acorn squash was delicious, the rice pilaf was the best I've ever eaten. My guest ordered the top sirloin. His was not as good. The steak was served sliced and over cooked not medium rare as ordered. It was medium well and drowning in sauce. He had the garlic mashed and green beans. Nothing special. Service was outstanding. Overall good experience.
We choose The Duck for special occassions based on both their Gluten Free Menu and their outstanding service. While the seating itself can sometimes be less than desireable, once we have settled in and venture on the sensory journey, it is customary that we can tune out our close neighbors. The chef is so passionate, you can taste it in his meals, and the short ribs we were apprehensive about ordering have fast become one of our favorites! Dont pass on the cheese plate special as there is always something for everyone and one of our delights. Decent wine list and service with a smile and quite often a good laugh too. We will continue to come back!
Three friends drive up from CT and I drive down from Holden ,Ma and this is our standard meeting place for lunch several times per year. It is always great and service is always good. Our favorite is the grilled cheese with apricot jelly but we do branch out. I had the thinly sliced prime rib with cheese and greens on a ciabatta roll with sweet potato fries this time and it was excellent. Good choices of wine as well.
We had dined at The Duck once before and enjoyed it, so when we were meeting friends for dinner recently we suggested The Duck. Neither of the two couples had ever dined there before and we were all very happy with the quality and presentation of the food. I especially enjoyed the organically grown local grass fed beef from Brimfield that was offered. It was delicious!! We're looking forward to celebrating our daughter's boyfriend's birthday in a couple of weeks at The Duck.
All of the food was great except the chicken parm. It was very stringy and tough. But the wait staff was very pleasant.
The Whistling Swan has two restaurants located in the building, an Italian restaurant on the ground level, Avellino, and the Duck, upstairs. The Duck is a lovely, if a little old-fashioned restaurant with a vaulted ceiling and large wrought iron chandeliers. Our server, Cheryl, was very knowledgeable and took great care of us. We had the calamari, lobster mac n cheese and fried oysters for appetizers. All delicious! For entrees we had the duck and scallops. Both good choices with unusual and delicious side dishes such as butternut squash risotto. We had chocolate cake for dessert since we were celebrating a birthday. Overall a very nice restaurant! We would return. We would also be tempted to try Avellino too.
Overall, a very comfy and warm place to dine--wonderfully situated in the loft.
Our group has met at the Duck for a holiday luncheon the last four years. The atmosphere and comfortable surroundings are inviting and friendly. The menu is varied, but not overwhelming. There is something on the menu for every taste. The presentation of the meals is elegant and portions are just right. Oh, and the food tastes great! We plan to continue our tradition of having our holiday luncheon at the Duck. It's a great place to dine and the staff are kind, attentive and professional.

I work a desk job meaning I'm on my butt for 8 hours a day. I've been tapping my feet under my desk off and on all day to have some movement when I can't get up and walk around. I'm wondering if this is considered exercise and how would I put this into my caloriecounter?

I did research on my question and found out something interesting. I found out what I'm doing IS actually burning calories. Not as many as say a 30 minute run but it is burning some. If you don't have anything nice to say or have positive constructive critism(can there be such a thing?) don't bother posting. I'm not cheating myself from what I've learned. I'm not gaming anything. In the future don't be a jerk, don't reply, just move on....
This is what I found out.
Fidgeting (tapping my feet, what I was asking about.) really helps to burn calories because you're moving muscles all day long. In fact, calories burned while fidgeting are classified as Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT). The number of calories you burn depends on the speed and duration of your foot tapping, as well as on your weight and age, but I'd venture to guess that fidgeting burns about 120 calories an hour.

You are right about the fidgeting thing. I read an article some time ago labeled, "Habbits of a Skinny Person" or something like that. Fidgeting was one of the habbits. I am one that can not stay still so I do it regardless
I don't put in into my exercise calander b/c I think it already acounted for. If I'm not mistaken fidgeting is something that is accounted for in your BMR or RMR (Basal and Resting Metabolic Rates). That is basically the calories you burn daily without exercise. If you were to try to add it in you would be doubling up on calories burned and therefore doing yourself a disservice b/c your calculations would be wrong. You would have a false positive on the calories burned.
Hope that made sense. Send me a message if this didn't make sense b/c I think I'm confusing myself in my explanation. lol.

That's make sense, when you say it like that. I wasn't aware it was probably counted for in the BMR/RMR, now I know. That's all I needed to hear.

Don't get discouraged. This road less traveled that we take can seem overwhelming but there are many of us out there that want to encourage you to continue to lose like you have shown you can do. Trust me we have all had those rough days but we show our fight when you keep on keeping on. Keep it up girl

I heard an interview with someone (insert handwaving about who) who had interesting things to say about desk jobs. One of the things they said was that standing up for two minutes out of every 20 will undo most of the negative effects of sitting. Walking around is better, but just plain standing activates the large muscles of the lower body.
The person suggested that you get into the habit of standing up when you make phone calls, talk to people, etc. It made sense.
The interview was on Fresh Air.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm a desk for 9 hours a day actually as I typically end up working through lunch. I'm actually thinking of getting an under desk peddler to get some exercise into my work day. Has anyone ever used these at a desk and know if it helps at all or if you're just banging your knees into your desk all day? Maybe I'll submit a seperate thread about this?!

I heard the interview with Gretchen Reynolds too and thought it made a lot of sense - I work for myself, so no one is making me spend hours at the computer, but it is amazing how difficult it is to remember to stand up for 2 minutes out of every hour, never mind 2 minutes out of every 10

I have eyestrain reduction software on my computer called FadeTop (for Windows). Every 15 minutes it fades the screen for 20 seconds to remind me to look away and rest my eyes. It would be easy enough to use something like that as a reminder to stand up.

You may wanna try some isometric excercises.. in a nutshell, contracting indivdual muscle groups while the body stays static.(think bicep curls, leg extensions, even kegels are isometric excercises) It's a great way to gradually tone muscle.. and the more muscle you build the more calories your body burns naturally. Here's a link for some examples.

Maybe this is an option for you?
I have now gotten so far that I literally stand up my entire work day, and it feels weird to sit down and do desk work. I feel so many benefits from standing up - I think better, I'm more comfortable, my back hurts less.
Unless I am with a client, I'll be standing up. Most clients find it weird to stand up for a meeting.

Bistro Ten Zero One - Marriott Palm Beach
Online Reservations
Good food, friendly waiters, not a tremendous amount of choices but enough and varied. I had a hamburger with salad that was good. My friend had the fish and he said it was very good!
Great creative menu with beautiful presentation and even better taste! We had two vegetarians, two devoted carnivores, and two elderly people in our party and everyone was very happy! We will return.
The food and presentation are great. The staff is very welcoming.
If you can get past the service, the food is excellent!!!! We had reservations and were seated in the bar (the dining room was large and empty). The server tried to rush us in the begining and then neglected us. We had to remind her that we had ordered a bottle of wine. We had the Florida Avocado Salad (Fresh, big,tasty), the goat cheese & beet salad; excellent. We also had the seared AHI Tuna-Udon Salad (excellent). Entrees were the Day Boat special of stripped bass over farro and the Roasted Chicken with sweet potatoes and Kale (large portions) I would go back to try more of the food..it was as good as some of the best restaurants in town..just dont expect great service.Our server was not trained to showcase the food or chef's talent
Our 3rd time here - & we brought 3 friends. All agreed - this is a terrific find! So how come on a Saturday night there's nobody here? Venue. Who expects foodie-style gourmet dining at a "convention Marriott"? Most of the hotel guests probably want hamburger or steak&potatoes, & if they want "gourmet" they assume they have to go elsewhere. Sad, & a shame. The food is SPECIAL. Tasty, creative, FRESH ingredients, just-right portions, creative, bargains, & did I mention creative? And the staff (& service) is warm, friendly & appropriate. Wine list is "intelligent" - great value, top picks for affordability. Local brew ales are a treat. If you're a foodie, toss out your prejudice against convention hotel restaurants & try this place!
After reading several reviews which complained about the service, we were a bit apprehensive about going there, but the very positive comments about the food convinced us it was worth a try. Glad we did!! And guess what?? The service was great! And so was the food! I opted for several of the small bites and found them to be quite good, especially the Heirloom Tomato Salad. The Crab Cake was tasty, although it didn't have a lot of "lump crab meat". I also enjoyed the Shrimp and Grits, even though the grits were a bit pasty. My wife's Chicken was a bit dry, but next time she will try her usual meal of steak. Despite the few shortcomings, yes, there will be a next time. We will go back!
good choice for dining when not familiar with local restaurants. food, service, menu, and atmosphere were all in the good category. their palm frittes (french fries) are a don't miss.
Imaginative preparation with outstanding taste, it was indeed a surprise to find a restaurant of this quality and uniqueness in a hotel. With their shuttle service to the Kravis, it is the perfect place to go before a show.
Very enjoyable dinner pre show for an evening at the Kravis. Food was excellent and the marinated olives and Nan bread were special. Carleyne was a very attentive hostess for the evening.
Fri night & the place was empty! Reviewers complaining here that they can't get plain food. Good grief, folks. This place is special, led by a modern creative chef, w/ outstanding cuisine (not food, but CUISINE) & the great idea of small plates so you can sample lots of the chef's brilliant ideas in a single meal.The problem is the venue -- who expects fine gourmet cuisine in a small convention hotel? Hotel guests don't, & are unhappy when they get it. Outsiders don't, so they don't come in. Yeah, you can't get a hot dog with trimmings here, or pot roast w/ gluey gravy; & yeah, flavors are vivid & exciting & unexpected. I think that's a GOOD THING. The kitchen here is too good to fail. C'mon, foodies, try it & see for yourselves.
Second Time to this restaurant, service was much better with this visit. Everything we had was excellent, small plates included fresh fish; showcased with complimentary flavors that did not mask the flavor and texture. The entrees that we enjoyed were the carrot spaghetti, and the baby lobster with minted pea ravioli. The minted pea ravioli was excellent and tasted like spring. Don't forget to enjoy the house made desserts!
Great meal at Bistro Ten Zero One and extremely reasonable prices!
What a find - not crowded so it was perfect for conversation since it was quiet, the waitress, Karline, was wonderful. She explained everything, including the special 2 for 40 - what a deal. The chef should be commended - the food was beyond de-lish. This restaurant is as good if not better than many at City Place and parking is a breeze. We have a subscription to Kravis and we will be eating here on a regular basis before theater. We even left our car at the Marriott and took the complimentary shuttle to and from the theater.
Good prices for a decent food! (all fresh and big size dishes). Many "specials" offered on different days.
Based on other reviews I decided to try this restaurant and I'm glad I did. Everything we tried was delicious. Beet salad was lovely with fresh red and yellow beets. The empanada was tasty. Blackberry lemonade was a bit expensive. But the best was the sea salt chips with blue cheese dip. A return visit is definitely in order.
I was impressed with the food very fresh. The service was wonderful
Bistro Ten Zero One was very good. We were not too hungry so it was perfect because they had small entrees and then regular. We each got a salad that was exceptional with fresh mangos and avocados and a tart vinegarette. My husband got the shrimp and grits which was very rich so glad it was small portion. I got fish over sautéed spinach. It had a sweet glaze over the top.We would definitely try this again. They also had choices of local beers which appealed to my husband.
Like always excellent food and outstanding service ! Susan and Larry always go above and beyond !
Went there for lunch, it was fresh and savory. Portions are good sized and my salade was great. Service was fast and easy going.
Great food, great service - just outstanding restaurant all together!
I'm terrible with names, but I recognized our waitress from a previous visit (and she remembered us when my husband made his usual joke about no coffee after dinner "because I'm driving") -- she was great the last time, and even better this time. And the food was, as always, outstanding. We LOVE chefs who create unique and truly memorable dishes, and the chef at Bistro 10-0-1 is truly a gem. We brought two friends who had never been there before, and they were as delighted with the fare as we always are. We tend to bring wines from our own cellar (for a corkage fee, of course), but I am always impressed by the restaurant's extremely intelligent selection of inexpensive great-value wines available by the glass or bottle.
My sister and I went to the Bistro one night while I was staying in the attached Marriott after our original dinner plans fell through. We ordered a bunch of small plates to share, and everything was great! They source a lot of fresh, local, and often organic ingredients for their dishes, and I have been impressed with the quality of everything I have eaten there.
A nice place to relax with friends in a quite setting
My wife and I have been here 3x. It has always been nice. I recommend the skirt steak.
The CUISINE here is always outstanding. Service excellent - thank you Jason! Shared plates menu always seems the same (but unique exciting delicious dishes; I especially LOVE the tuna guacamole with boniato chips!); other parts of the menu change but always feature FRESH ingredients creatively & perfectly combined, prepared and presented. Love the opportunity to either have a "large bite" (full main course dish) or two "small bites" (larger than tapas, but allows for more variety in the meal). Chef fully deserves the accolades he's been receiving in PBPost. But where are the customers? Saturday night the place was half empty.The food here is right up there with the very best in Delray Beach, and the prices are ridiculously reasonable.
The decoration and setting of the restaurant is nothing special, your average chain hotel restaurant, a bit an outdated style, but clean. I can't really comment about the ambiance either, because we went for dinner so early that we were the only ones... The service staff was very good, polite and helpful. They even gave us a free dessert when we mentioned it was our wedding anniversary! BUT BEST OF ALL, the food is excellent!! Much better, fresher, more natural and healthier than in most restaurants in this area. Fresh vegetables like beets, kale and fennel that you don't find often. Not your boring frozen broccoli and stuff. The prices seem very reasonable to me, they have also small, more affordable choices, not only large entrees.
The food here is amazing! You expect little to nothing from a hotel restaurant, but Bistro Ten Zero One delivers. Great prices for well thought out dishes. Attentive but not overbearing service, and great deals!
Forget the Marriott name - this is a hidden gem! The chef is one of the mos creative chefs in town - grows his own veggies, herbs and knows what to do with them. If you are a steak and baked potato eater, don't take up space here - leave the room for people who enjoy food!
A hidden neighborhood gem. The food is fantastic. All fresh and local. The chef even grows his own veggies. One of the best meals I have had in WPB. Congrats to Chef Chris and his staff. Great service too.
Been here many times. The food is always fresh and innovative. Chef Chris and Steven are great. Jon is a great server. One of my favorite places.
