Parents, students and teachers are about to learn the fate of Elmwood Elementary. The Syracuse Board of Education will vote Wednesday on whether or not to close the school. The superintendent met with parents, teachers and students Tuesday night about the logistics of closing the school. The school's Family-Teacher Organization invited YNN to the meeting, but district officials would not let us inside. Our Katie Gibas tells us what the proposal will mean for the community.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- For Elmwood Elementary students, this will likely be the last year they call the school home.
"It's hard for me because I grew up here and all of my friends are here," said Tarnasia Dacres, an Elmwood student.
Chole McIntyre, another Elmwood student, added, "It's my home school and this is the only school I've been to since pre-k, about six or seven years. All my friends are here. It's going to be hard to let it go."
Jalin Rosa, also an Elmwood student said, "It's a good school, and I don't want it to close because I want to come here for 5th grade."
"Elmwood school, I think they shouldn't close it down because we are good students are we are doing our best," said Mikela Harper, an Elmwood student.
The board of education will likely vote Wednesday to close the school when they adopt their budget. The driving factors behind the decision to close are the district's financial crisis and the school's poor performance on state tests. Less than 10 percent of the school's 4th graders passed the state English exam.
"This is something we think will help make our children succeed because we don't have the resources to help them succeed here," said Michelle Mignano, a SCSD Education Commissioner.
Last year, parents were outraged by the proposal to close the school. This year, the reaction is the opposite. "If I knew that my child was in a failing class or the school itself, there is no way I would have fought to keep it open," said Eliza Sampson, an Elmwood parent.
Twiggy Billue, Elmwood Family-Teacher Organization President added, "As the superintendent said, the district hasn't supported the building in the way that it should have, the teachers and the students, and so forth and so on. Now we have the opportunity to be in areas where there are high concentrations in investment into the kids as well as the teachers."
Parents say while it will be difficult to see the school close, they're all for the decision if their children will get the support they need to succeed.

Expert Tips for Launching a Hedge Fund in a New Environment
As we look forward to 2014, we can expect that the hedge fund and investment management industry will continue to evolve and experience change as in years past. As more and more new funds launch, the competition for investors will increase and firms will be hard-pressed to live up to the successes of the top performing funds in the industry.
Earlier this week, we gathered several panels of experts in Boston to share their insights into the hedge fund landscape for startups in 2014 and the tips and advice for firms looking to compete in the changing marketplace. Following is a brief recap of the event.
Building a Hedge Fund is Like Building Any Successful Business
When starting a new firm, it's critical to think about all aspects or forming a new business. Yes, your investment strategy is important, but if the foundation of your business is not critically thought out, it will wreak havoc for your firm. Following are a few areas you shouldn't overlook as you go through the launch process.

Answering the FCA's Dear CEO Letter on Outsourcing with Some Practical Steps
Last week, the Eze Castle Integration London team along with industry experts from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Investment Management Association (IMA), HSBC, and Simmons & Simmons got together to address the FCA's "Dear CEO" letter on outsourcing, which was issued to CEO's of asset management firms back in December 2012.
In the "Dear CEO" letter, the FCA identified that the asset management industry outsources a number of activities to service providers and the FCA's major concern was if a service provider was to face financial distress or serve operational disruption, the UK asset managers would not be able to perform regulated activities.
Our panel of experts gathered together to discuss the letter in more detail and what practical steps asset managers should adopt, including reviewing contingency plans to ensure managers are minimising risk and have a continuity strategy in place. Let's take a closer look at what was discussed.

Reflecting on What We're Thankful For This Thanksgiving

Finding Your One-Stop Shop: The Benefits of Choosing an All-Inclusive IT Provider
As hedge funds continue to grow and prosper, the need for a "one-stop shop" IT
provider is becoming increasingly necessary. As a fund manager, your job is demanding enough; therefore, finding one company that can hone in on your technology needs and quickly provide solutions is a smart investment, as well as a good relief. Here are a few of the main benefits firms can realize in working with a single, all-inclusive IT provider.

Three Ways Your Cloud Provider Can De-Stress Your Life
As a hedge fund or investment management firm, you're juggling a lot. Hedging bets, pitching investors, running day-to-day operations – there's a lot on your plate. That's why working with an experienced cloud services provider can offer benefits beyond just infrastructure.
Let's take a look at three different ways your cloud services provider can de-stress your busy life and provide you with much needed value.
1. Free up your space.
One of the beauties of a cloud computing environment is the near elimination of physical hardware and equipment on-site at your office. When managing your own server room or Communications (Comm.) room, you are responsible for housing a variety of equipment such as servers, UPS units, networking equipment and cables, spare parts, etc. Not to mention you need the real estate for it all. And don't forget – much of this equipment runs on a three-year refresh cycle, which means you'll have to upgrade everything in the near future.

Putting BCP on Your Holiday To-Do List
We all have "to-do lists," and we all have our own way of managing how and what gets done. Having BCP on my to-do list is easy; this is what I think about every day and all day. But not everyone has the same responsibility. However, business continuity is like health insurance; it needs to be active. We all need it, but it's not something we think about every day.
Disruptions can occur at any time and without warning, which is why we should always be thinking about what we need and how we would respond during a disaster. Let's not forget the tsunami that hit Thailand in 2004 during the holiday season. Thousands of foreign tourists were in Thailand during that disaster, and many were unaware of the risks within the area, evacuation routes and how to receive assistance.

Starting a Hedge Fund in 2014? Here are some key considerations
Starting a hedge fund is an intensive task and there are many aspects of the business that a portfolio manager must consider. Expectations are higher than ever, and investors want to see that new hedge fund startups are taking the right precautions and steps to ensure that both the investment strategy and business operations are sound.
There are a wealth of considerations to review before starting a new hedge fund, and truth be told, most of these points are just as important to keep in mind if you are an established fund. Take a look and you'll notice these best practices apply to more than just new launches.

Cybersecurity Insurance Evolving to Protect Businesses From Increasing Threats
Last month, former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff said the most significant threat we face as a nation is cybersecurity. That's a pretty jarring statement given the threats our country faces in terms of terrorism and war, for instance. But the reality is, cyber networks have become the gateway for risks both on the global terrorism front as well as within our internal circles at our places of business.
With watchful eyes geared towards security threats, interest in cybersecurity insurance continues to rise. The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Commerce have identified cybersecurity insurance as a viable opportunity to thwart the effects of security breaches and attacks by:
- Promoting widespread adoption of preventative measures;
- Encouraging the implementation of best practices by basing premiums on an insured's level of self-protection; and
- Limiting the losses that companies face following a cyber-attack.

Why Hedge Fund Data Center Selection Processes Matter
Data center facilities are at the heart of any cloud offering and, as such, are getting more scrutiny as hedge funds evaluate who the right cloud provider is for them.
Earlier this year we created a pretty infograpic that mapped what firms should look for in a colocation facility. Remember this?
Since not everyone loves infograpics, we decided to spell out what we look for in a colocation facility. Our due diligence is extensive, but here are some of the high points.
Ownership, Operation & Support: Eze Castle Integration seeks a colocation facility that is owned and operated by a reputable organization with vast industry knowledge and experience. Additionally, the personnel and client support must be of the highest quality in order to ensure that all Eze Castle colocation clients receive the best service and support possible.

While Your Traders Watch Twitter, Is Your Fund Still Compliant?
First and foremost, Happy Halloween!
In honor of Halloween, I'm going to share a trick and a treat about the world of social media and investment firms.
First the trick.
Did you hear the story about how shares of bankrupt Tweeter soared when Twitter announced its IPO? If not, here goes. According to WallStreetInsanity, on October 4, 2013, "shares in bankrupt TWTR Inc. (OTC: TWTRQ) were up over 1500 percent as the company's stock soared from $0.0 to $0.15 on extremely heavy volume. Seems some people thought the consumer electronics retailer was Twitter."
This story demonstrates that traders are monitoring social media outlets for investment ideas even if they are not personally participating. It also shows that many of those folks buying TWTRQ didn't quite understand how an IPO works or what Twitter will be valued at (certainly not pennies), but we'll ignore that fact for the sake of this article.

Jessy's Candyshop Cubed - New Lighting - Evolution LED 150w
, 06-10-2012 at 07:35 PM (1024 Views)
Sooooo excited. My new lights came in the mail yesterday. It's a custom 150w dimmable LED light from Evolution LED lights. When I had T5's I used to love my purple UV blub so when I was talking to Chris (Reefkoi) the owner of Evolution, he said that he could have them add LED's into his fixture. I knew I was sold. 6 weeks later the light with 8 purple LED's arrived at my door. I took down my old Ecoxotic Retro and set this baby up on my tank cover for a quick view and WOW am I blown away. I forgot a reef could look this cool! The ecoxotic light just wasn't giving me the color pop I needed. I tried supplementing with blue LED strips over the years but it just looked like blue strips of light over certain parts of my reef. Now I have to give ecoxotic credit, the light I had was less than half as powerful as this one, but the ability to dim the whites and blues separately means I can set the color exactly how I want it. Which I've not had for 2+ years. My normal mushrooms are back to glowing and i love it!
There is no way for me to tell if the 8 UV LED's are doing much to make the colors pop more, but I'd like to think it's going to help, if nothing else for growth. I turned down the blue a little bit to get a decent photo.
First impressions: Blown Away.

Mixed Reality Aides in the Development of the 2013 Mercedes GL
Augmented reality links the virtual world and the real world, helping developers visualize digital changes in real-life environments
by Jim Davis | 31 July 2012
For the first time in a vehicles development, Mercedes-Benz took full advantage of their Mixed Reality development tool. Designing and developing the new 2013 GL-Class. With this augmented reality, developers were able to speed up the entire design and development process, testing different scenarios in the digital world before implementing changes to the real world models.
In the past, digital and real processes ran consecutively. Initially, to ensure solutions were viable to put to realworld tests, early studies were conducted in a virtual environment during the development phase as well as mock-ups and part builds, such as seating configurations for ergonomic studies or complete vehicle prototypes, were then produced. Engineers then made decisions either using computers in the virtual world or directly affecting the real builds. Mixed Reality linked these two worlds, the digital and the real, thus introducing completely new development perspectives. Modifications and new concepts from the virtual world can now be visualised, checked and assessed directly in the real-life environment.
Combining a virtual engine with a real vehicle
Mixed Reality first uses a camera to capture photos of a particular area of the prototype, such as the engine compartment. The precise spatial relationship between the real-life and digital world is established using tracking systems, which precisely determine the current position of the video camera in relation to the overall vehicle. These video images are then displayed on a monitor and a variety of different components are "installed" virtually. Typical examples of application include positioning new electrical components such as wiring harnesses or control units, optimised heat shields or hydraulic functional units such as the brake force booster with corresponding lines. However, it is also possible to conduct installation tests with new engine configurations. In this case, the engineers assess whether a modified engine will fit in the existing installation space or if it can be easily mounted during the production process. Special spatial analyses are used by developers to assess the accessibility of individual components within the engine compartment to ensure that installation and maintenance work can be easily carried out on the vehicle at a future date. The first validation of virtual models is taking place in the real world with the use of Mixed Reality. This process has meanwhile been firmly integrated into the Mercedes-Benz development program.
15 years of production in Tuscaloosa
With the start of production of the new GL-Class in the US automotive plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, an inspiring success story that began 15 years ago is being updated. Production in the plant started in 1997 following the ground-breaking ceremony in 1995. The site manufactured the Mercedes-Benz M-Class and later added the GL-Class and R-Class SUVs. In 2009 the plant employees had the opportunity to celebrate a very special anniversary: the one-millionth SUV, an ML 350 BlueTEC, left the production plant. In 2011 the plant produced more than 148,000 vehicles and employed approximately 2,800 people by year's end.
Starting in 2014, the next generation of the current C-Class for the North American market will also be produced at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Tuscaloosa, and in 2015 a fifth Mercedes-Benz model series will be added to the production portfolio.

Hello Rob,
I would like to know the differences between the "Custom Filter Rules" and this "Selective Journaling". We are currently using Custom Filters for Journal Archiving where in we put xml files with filter rules in the "Custom Filter Rules" folder and a registry entry to point to the rules.
Now I'm confused with this Selective Journaling, which after reading through your article, does almost the same thing. Can you please list down the differences/advantages between these two approaches.

Frank Comerford Walker (30 May 1886 – 13 September 1959) was an American lawyer and politician. He served as the United States Postmaster General between 1940 and 1945. He also served as the chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 1943 until 1944.
He was born in Plymouth, Pennsylvania. He attended Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington for three years and earned a law degree from Notre Dame in 1909. He then joined his older brother Thomas in a law practice in Butte, Montana. In 1913, he was elected to a term as a Montana state representative.
During World War I, Walker volunteered for the U.S. Army. He became a first lieutenant and saw action on the Western Front. After the war, he returned to his law practice.
In 1925, he moved to New York City, where he become manager and general counsel of Comerford Theatres, a chain of movie theaters owned by his relative Michael Comerford.
In New York, Walker expanded his political activities, and became an early supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1931, he co-founded the Roosevelt for President Society. In 1932, he became Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Until Roosevelt's death, Walker was one of his closest advisers.
When Roosevelt became President in 1933, he appointed Walker executive secretary of the National Emergency Council, a New Deal agency related to the NRA.
In 1940, Walker became Postmaster General (succeeding James Farley, who had also been DNC Chairman and Roosevelt's campaign manager). As Postmaster General, Walker continued his role as political adviser, often taking part in matters far removed from the Post Office. For instance, during the negotiations which preceded the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, he was in regular contact with Japanese Ambassador Nomura.[1]
In 1943, Walker also became Chairman of the DNC, serving until 1944. In 1944, he stepped down from the DNC, and was succeeded by Robert Hannegan.
In May 1945, Walker announced his retirement as Postmaster General, to allow President Harry Truman to appoint his own candidate to the office. Truman selected Hannegan to succeed Walker in this office too, effective 1 July.
Later in 1945, Truman appointed Walker as a member of the first U.S. delegation to the United Nations.
Frank Walker died in New York City in 1959.

War hawk
A war hawk, or simply hawk for short, is a term used in politics for someone favoring war in a debate over whether to go to war, or whether to continue or escalate an existing war. War hawks are the opposite of war doves. The terms are derived through analogy with the birds of the same name: hawks are predators which attack and feed on other animals, whereas doves mostly eat seeds and fruit, and are historically a symbol of peace.
Historical group[edit]
The term originated with a historical group known as the War Hawks, consisting of Democratic-Republicans and were primarily from southern and western states. (The American West then consisted of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio, as well as territories in the Old Northwest that did not yet have votes in Congress.) Largely from the older block of the Congress and encompassing most Republicans,[1] the War Hawks advocated going to war against Britain for reasons related to the interference of the Royal Navy in American shipping, which the War Hawks believed hurt the American economy and injured American prestige - though that did not directly affect the land-locked states. Of more direct concern to them, War Hawks from the western states also believed that the British were instigating American Indians on the frontier to attack American settlements, and so the War Hawks called for an invasion of British Canada to punish the British and end this threat.[2]
The term "War Hawk" was coined by the prominent Virginia Congressman John Randolph of Roanoke, a staunch opponent of entry into the war. There was, therefore, never any "official" roster of War Hawks; as historian Donald Hickey notes, "Scholars differ over who (if anyone) ought to be classified as a War Hawk."[4] Indeed, one scholar believes the term "no longer seems appropriate."[5] However, most historians use the term to describe about a dozen members of the Twelfth Congress. The leader of this group was Speaker of the House Henry Clay of Kentucky. John C. Calhoun of South Carolina was another notable War Hawk. Both of these men became major players in American politics for decades. Other men traditionally identified as War Hawks included Richard Mentor Johnson of Kentucky, William Lowndes of South Carolina, Langdon Cheves of South Carolina, Felix Grundy of Tennessee, and William W. Bibb of Georgia.[3]
The older members of the Party, led by United States President James Madison and Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin tried unsuccessfully to defeat the War Hawks movement. They felt the United States was not prepared for war.[3]
Variations of the term[edit]
The term "hawk" has been appropriated in modern U.S. usage to refer to any fierce advocate for a cause or policy, such as "deficit hawk", "privacy hawk", etc.
The term also gave rise to the term "chicken hawk", referring to a war hawk who avoided military service.

Seeing what some texture would do for really making that badge stand out against the background of the site.
I had to change the color of the red border around the edge of the badge. It was competing too much with the red from the banner (which will be used through out the page).

The White House has said Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's immigration plans, which could legalize the status of some of those unlawfully in the country, "bode well for a productive, bipartisan debate."
A reason for that optimism: Rubio's ideas and comments closely mirror those of President Obama in a 2011 policy speech in El Paso Texas.
"This is the Rubio-Obama immigration plan," Mark Krikorian, head of the conservative Center for Immigration Studies, told Mother Jones.
"There's nothing substantive in Rubio's proposal that wouldn't immediately be agreed to by President Obama," he said, noting that President George W. Bush proposed a similar plan in 2006 that many Congressional Republicans helped kill.
With the Republican Party far more opposed to immigration reform than Democrats, conservative commentators have praised Rubio for his boldness. But they've also glossed over the fact that Obama proposed similar ideas.
Not only do Rubio and Obama's plans create a similar type of amnesty for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants, the two politicians have used similar language.
Here's Obama unveiling his plan in May 2011, relatively little-reported at the time:
"Those who are here illegally, they have a responsibility as well. So they broke the law, and that means they've got to pay their taxes, they've got to pay a fine, they've got to learn English. And they've got to undergo background checks and a lengthy process before they get in line for legalization. That's not too much to ask."
Here's Rubio in the Wall Street Journal on the undocumented:
"They would have to come forward. They would have to undergo a background check...They would have to pay a fine, pay back taxes, maybe even do community service. They would have to prove they've been here for an extended period of time. They understand some English and are assimilated. Then most of them would get legal status and be allowed to stay in this country."
Rubio doesn't consider his plan a "blanket amnesty" because immigrants seeking legal residency would have to pay penalties. Many conservatives, however, describe any proposal as amnesty if it doesn't require the immigrants to leave the country, known as "self deportation."
Neither Obama nor Rubio have issued bills. So it's unclear what the real specific policy differences would be on many of the finer details, although the two appear to disagree on the effectiveness and need for more border security.
Recent news reports say Obama now wants a "pathway to citizenship" for the undocumented. But details about the latest Obama plan are even scarcer than details of Rubio's proposal.
Also, national reporters described Obama as seeking a "pathway to citizenship" in May 2011. But he never said that phrase in his speech or his written plan. Obama never specified what "legalization" is. Even if Obama has changed his mind, it's a good indication the president and Rubio agree far more than they disagree about "legalization."
The two did have a disagreement regarding a pathway to citizenship vs. a pathway to legal residency regarding the proposed DREAM Act, which would allow those brought to this country as children to legally remain if they go to college or the military.
Obama wanted a pathway to citizenship. Rubio called for a residency pathway. Rubio shelved his plan, he says temporarily, after Obama used the framework of the Republican's plan in an executive action that stopped deporting these young people.

The community came together Saturday, for a fun and great cause.
The Firefighter's Ball took place at the Embassy Suites in San Luis Obispo Saturday afternoon. The event included dinner, a silent and live auction, and dancing.
Money raised by the event will go towards the John W. Callahan Heart Safe Project. Callahan died of a heart attack in August of 2010. After his death, his wife started the foundation to help spread Automated External Defibrillators, or AED's, throughout San Luis Obispo. According to the American Heart Association, more than 95% of cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital. An AED improves survival rates, and can save up to 40,000 lives each year in the U.S.
The Heart Safe Project is always accepting donations. All cash or check donations should be made payable to SLOYMCA and mailed to SLOFFA, Attention: Jody Larson, 2160 Santa Barbara Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401.

A bill to make buyers more aware of vehicles previously used as mobile meth labs has passed the full Senate, and now heads to the House for further consideration. Senate Bill 277, co-authored by Democratic Senator Jim Arnold, of LaPorte, would require sales persons who have knowledge of vehicle's use in methamphetamine production to disclose that information, in writing, prior to the sale, while those who are unaware will not be held responsible. Those who fail to comply may face civil action, remediation, or reimbursement of costs, and the court could require dealers to decontaminate the vehicle, as well as award purchases of up to ten-thousand dollars in damage compensation.

Greenhouse at the Jefferson Hotel Washington DC
Online Reservations
The atmosphere of the Greenhouse at the Jefferson is simply wonderful. It's perfect for a ladies brunch, treating your mom, or a romantic and relaxing date with your significant other. The only reason I don't make this a regular place to visit is the high prices.
Had a mixed experience here at lunch. The setting is beautiful and the first course roasted tomato soup with mini grilled cheese was truly delicious. On the down side, we had to ask the waiter what the specials were, and he didn't take drink orders right away. Also, two of us ordered the lobster roll and that was a disappointment. There was way too much bread, and not enough flavor in the lobster. I will go back but expected better.
I knew we were in for royal treatment when a small ottoman was brought to our table for my purse upon arrival. It was a fair sign of what was to come; impeccable service and wonderful food. My egg white omelette with wilted spinach & shaved ham was served with a seasoned , roasted Roma tomato half- Beautiful presentation and oh so tasty! ( also was accompanied by potatoes & rye toast)Staff was attentive but not the slightest bit intrusive and kept a good watch on our coffee, refilling our silver pots multiple times. Special place, leaving guests feeling quite specially treated!
A beautiful place for brunch, food is decent but service and atmosphere are outstanding.
My absolute favorite place for brunch. Everything is just perfect, consistently. So glad the croque madame is back on the menu.
We went for Afternoon Tea and Karen was most helpful. Her advice was valued. The only downside was the bread on the savories. It was stale. However, the sweets and the tea were perfect. Overall, a great experience.
A truly great Washington experience! The hotel is beautiful and each thing we ate was better than the last. We had the pric fixe Easter Brunch and it made the holiday a truly special day. The service was not only top not h but all the staff were open & warm and charming. No stuffiness at all. They anticipated needs before you asked. Wonderful
It is a lovely venue for afternoon tea. The food and the service were great.
Excellent wine list - One of the best in DC. Great brunch!
The Greenhouse has the feel of an outdoor bistro, but is set indoors in a lovely environment. It is great to go there on a rainy day and feel like you are at a beautiful outdoor garden. The food is excellent,the service attentive without hovering, and the noise level low enough to carry on a conversation without having to raise your voice.
I took my mother to Mother's Day brunch here and it was fantastic. When we were seated a plate of fresh fruit, a basket of mixed pastries, a small smoothie and shrimp cocktail were brought to the table. Everything was perfectly ripe, well balanced, tasty, and/or perfectly buttery and flaky (as appropriate). This bountiful spread was followed by an appetizer (smoked salmon for my mom and roasted tomato soup with grilled cheese and bacon finger sandwiches = both excellent) and an entree (we both had the crab cake Benedict = YUM). A lovely spread of desserts followed (donut holes, mini cakes/tarts, chocolates) -- all excellent. Also, you can't beat the decor and service of the place -- classically elegant, soothing and impeccable service.
My family and I had brunch at the Greenhouse and it was spectacular in every way. Their original twists on the standard brunch fare were innovative and delicious. The service was seamless yet friendly and the ambience was exquisite - luxurious and dignified without being rarefied or off putting. We all enjoyed our meals and time there immensely and look forward to returning on our next visit to DC.
Great atmosphere, delicious food. Overall very enjoyable.
The Greenhouse has a very elegant decor that fits perfectly with all the silver teapots, finger sandwiches, scones and pastries. The sandwiches are tasty--though not out of this world--and the scones fresh and warm. The default offering for the scones seems to be double whipped cream, and I had to insist on getting clotted cream. I thought that was a little strange.
The perfect gift for people who have everything. The Greenhouse has an elegant Sunday brunch-a great place to go for a special treat. I had the lobster benedict-totally amazing. The service is equal to the elegance of the restaurant and the quality of the food.
I took my mom for a surprise brunch and between the ambience impeccable Service and great good she was so happy and made for a memorable birthday
Best spot for tea in DC--quiet and elegant, truly a posh experience. Thanks to the attentive staff as well.
The Greenhouse at The Jefferson Hotel is always perfect for breakfast, brunch and lunch, whether business or celebrating a special occasion. Been going to The Jefferson for more than 40 years and it never disappoints.
Its a beautifull quite greenhouse at the hotel. Great service good food. Not a "happening" place, it more of a place you would take you mom.
The Greenhouse is impressive for tea... fountains, flowers, and beautiful table settings... wonderful service - foot stools were provided for the ladies clutches... we had the champagne tea and it exceeded expectations... the finger sandwiches were very tasty and there was a proper balance between savory and sweet... the price was slightly higher than other venues, but definitely worth it...
Staff were incredible - food: amazing - seating: very romantic. A must for all who enjoy special occasion dining.
Good for business lunch. The food is good. Not great. It has the makings of great but just misses the mark. I had a veggie panni type sandwich and it had great elements but just fell apart. The salad was bland. The quiche was a little dry. The ambiance is great. Quiet which is rare for a lunch place.
This was a wonderful experience for breakfast. The service was impeccable and the food sublime. It was the perfect way to start a day.
The girlfriend and I got lobster eggs benedict and jumbo crab cakes for brunch. Very good with a good amount per serving.
There is no other place in Washington so beautiful and welcoming as the Jefferson and its restaurants and bar. It is a hidden gem and I hope it remains as such. The food and service are excellent, and each time I have dined, it was a truly memorable experience for my guests and me.
We went to the Jefferson for Tea. It is lovely and quiet with wonderful service. The sandwiches were excellent, especially the smoked salmon and roast beef (and we are not big beef eaters). The scones and clotted cream were good. However, the other desserts were rather ordinary. The chocolate tart had a lovely filling but the crust was leave-able. The others were a bit dry and non-memorable. Unless it was just an off day, I would just get sandwiches and scones next time.
A very nice restaurant, with great service. The food was also really good, and we enjoyed the quiet, luxurious ambience. Former DC-mayor Anthony Williams seems to like it too!
If you like historic architecture, check out The Jefferson! What a beautiful place with its high ceilings and gorgeous iron gate work. We even ran into a famous TV actor while dining here. The breakfast was good, but not exceptional. This place is definitely for special occasions since a breakfast for two ran us $75 ( we did order 3 entrees, though, because I wanted to try the pancakes). High class place!
A superior restaurant in every category: Food, service, ambience, decor.
It was nice. Especially, the relaxed atmosphere. I like interior designs. We made 2 tables and there was comfortable distance between them.
I felt as if I had just taken a short trip to Europe... A civilized, luxurious lunch and a great opportunity to catch up with a friend without feeling rushed.
The setting could not have been more gracious and attractive -- although it being so close to the front doors and lobby felt a little odd. The service was very solicitous but quite slow. When I have been to teas in the past, the serving dishes were re-filled; here, they were not, which seems rather stingy for $39 per person -- and they were not terribly generous with the tea sandwiches to begin with. Still, an elegant place.
I took my boyfriend here for lunch. From the time you walk in you are whisked away to a world removed from our own. No detail of this hotel, its staff or restaurant go unnoticed. It was like walking back into another era that our current day has forgotten. Our server, Carlos, was a delight and provided us the upmost privacy (something I value greatly). Our lunch took about 15 minutes to arrive so our meals weren't rushed. I am unempressed by a restaurant that gets your meal out minutes after the order is placed. I can not wait to come back and experimence their evening dining setup, Plume, which I've read so much about. If you're considering dining here for a special occasion, business meeting, or even some personal solitude, don't hesitate
Very much enjoyed my first dining experience at the Greenhouse, and will be returning without question. The hotel and restaurant staff were welcoming and attentive, the menu was great and the food very good indeed. Loved the lobster as an add on for my salad. My friends and I were so pleased to find a spot where the dining experience was unrushed and the noise level very tolerable. Also much appreciated the convenience of valet parking.
This was my second experience dining here for brunch. What an awesome experience! The service was phenomenal. The atmosphere was fantastic and the food and drinks were great. I highly recommend this spot for special occasions or just a relaxing Sunday afternoon affair. I WILL be back.
The restaurant has Boutique written all over it. Tables are tucked into nooks for that private conversation. Service is stellar with staff humming around to fill water, pour champagne. Voices tend to carry so not a place for children. Food was deftly prepared and the foie Gras terrine from the dinner menu was like "butter!" Enjoyed so much, we plan to dine and spend the night in the Hotel.
We really enjoyed a lovely brunch with our young adult children in the Greenhouse. The prices were similar to any Washington Brunch but the atmosphere was first class. It is the perfect place to lift your winter spirits with sunshine while still staying cozily inside. It was elegant but not stuffy and the food was deliciously prepared and fresh. We enjoyed the Eggs Benedict with Virginia Country Ham, the Lemon Pancakes, the French Toast, and the Lobster Benedict. This would be a great place to bring out-of-town guests for a taste of DC without the tourist throngs. The service was top notch, my daughter was very impressed when one of the wait staff brought a stool for her purse which had fallen to the floor near her chair, nice touch ;).
Very charming and romantic location inside the historical Jefferson. Wonderful food and great service. We will be back and we recommend it for those that love great food and don't mind spending the money on a great menu.
Went to the Greenhouse at the Jefferson Hotel for brunch on a Sunday and had a great time. Nice quiet ambiance, very professional and courteous staff and end to end a great experience The food was simply superb! It was freshly cooked, hot (and not from a heat lamp), a delight for the palate, and served surprisingly fast for an upscale restaurant. The fresh squeezed orange juice alone was worth the trip, as were the deserts which were unique, creative and very tasty. For the three of us, the price was reasonable given the quality of the cuisine. We'd definitely recommend it, but highly suggest having a reservation.

Calvert Comments on the Apple Supply Chain Controversy
Recent news reports, especially the February 21 Nightline broadcast and a detailed story in the New York Times on January 26, offer unsettling accounts of working conditions at Apple's suppliers in China.
As a leader in sustainable and responsible investing, Calvert constantly monitors companies in our investment portfolios for their performance on environmental, social and governance issues. We are certainly concerned about Apple's track record on these issues and are closely watching the company's response to criticisms of conditions in its factories in China in particular.
Apple must take responsibility for conditions in its suppliers' factories; first and foremost to protect workers, but also to reassure its customers and investors that the company takes these allegations seriously and will take appropriate steps to investigate and remedy such abuses. In Calvert's view, Apple has taken significant steps in recent months, and especially in recent weeks, towards full supply chain transparency and "zero tolerance" for workplace abuses:
- In its recently released 2012 supplier responsibility progress report, Apple "self identifies" a number of significant issues in its global supply chain, and discloses a list of its major suppliers, signaling an important shift in the company's attitude towards full supply chain transparency.
- To date, Apple has provided education to over a million workers in its global supply chain on their workplace rights and on ways to prevent work-related injury and disease.
- Apple has forced certain suppliers to pay back $6.7 million dollars in "recruitment fees" collected from migrant workers.
- Apple's new CEO, Tim Cook, appears inclined to engage in dialogue with the company's critics. Mr. Cook has repeatedly and publicly asserted the company's commitment to root out and remedy any and all workplace abuses in its supply chain. At a press event earlier this month Mr. Cook stated: "We believe every worker has the right to a safe working environment. Apple's suppliers must live up to this to do business with Apple." Mr. Cook further declared: "We think the use of underage labor is abhorrent. It is extremely rare in our supply chain, but our top priority is to eliminate it entirely. Apple will fire any supplier that is caught making this offense."
Apple and the Fair Labor Association
Apple has also aggressively moved on third-party inspections/audits of its suppliers through the Fair Labor Association (FLA). The FLA is a collaborative effort of socially responsible companies, colleges and universities, and human rights organizations to improve working conditions in factories around the world. While the credibility of the FLA has itself been called into question by some, we believe that it has a demonstrated track record of supporting and contributing to the improvement of factory conditions around the world and that its own governance is being strengthened. It is important to note that:
- Apple is the first technology company to request and gain admission to the FLA.
- Apple has requested that the FLA conduct special audits of its final assembly suppliers, including the highly controversial Foxconn facility in China. The first inspections took place on February 13.
- Apple has asked the FLA to disclose the names/locations of the factories under audit in its public reports, an unprecedented step by a member of the electronics industry in terms of transparency, scale, and scope.
- Apple will post the results of these audits each month on its website, also an unprecedented move by a technology company.
Calvert will continue to closely watch this situation and to engage with Apple around these supply chain concerns. Calvert, as part of a larger investor coalition, has engaged in dialogue on these issues with senior company management—a dialogue which we expect will intensify in the coming weeks.
Read Apple's 2012 supplier responsibility progress report at http://www.apple.com/supplierresponsibility/reports.html.
As of January 31, 2012, accounts managed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc. held securities issued by Apple. Calvert may or may not still invest in, and is not recommending any action on, any companies listed.

AMARILLO, TEXAS - The Corpus Christi IceRays backed by 29 saves from Ben Myers held on for a 2-1 victory over the league leading Amarillo Bulls inside a hostile Civic Center on Saturday night.
Corpus Christi got off to the start they wanted putting quality scoring chances on net. That strategy finally paid off at 13:35 of the first period when Brandon Berkley collected a puck that bounced off the end boards and fired it by a sprawling Paul Berrafato to put the Rays' up 1-0.
The lead didn't last long for Corpus Christi as the home team Bulls pulled even off a rebound save by Ben Myers that Gage Christianson snapped top shelf tying the game 1-1 at 14:48 of the first.
In the second period Ben Myers stood on his head stopping numerous point blank chances by Amarillo and his play paid off. Corpus Christi regained a one goal lead after a series of turnovers by the Bulls, Eric Purcell walked in all alone deking Paul Berrafato, back-handing the puck into the net at 9:24 to take a 2-1 lead.
With under a minute left in the game, the IceRays were given two penalties and the Bulls had a 6-on-3 that they could not convert on and Corpus Christi held on for the 2-1 win.
Ben Myers stopped 29 of 30 shots on the night.
The IceRays are home Tuesday against Amarillo. Puck drops at 7:05PM, coverage begins at 6:50PM with the IceRays Pregame Show on sportsjuice.com, ustream.com, the TuneIn Radio APP, and fasthockey.com.
