Gadsby's Tavern
Online Reservations
My husband, Aunt, Uncle and I ate at Gadsby's on a Monday evening in July. Eating in a place that's over 200 years old is certainly special in and of itself, but the fact that the food was great too really added to our experience. My husband had the prime rib, my Aunt had duck, my Uncle had the meatloaf, and I had the beef bourdelaise (sp?). The portions were large and the sides were also very tasty. We all had dessert, my creme brule (called by a different name on the menu) was very good, as were the chocolate lava cake, banana bread pudfing and fruit cobler eaten by the rest of my family. I recommend Gadsby's if you're ever near Alexandria. Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable and added a lot to our dining experience too.
Gadsby's is a gem of a place that boasts an impressive history and an even more impressive menu. I would recommend this fine restaurant to anyone. It is an especially good restaurant to host a group or small event. The atmosphere, combined with great food and superior service is what makes the dining experience so special.
As always, the ambience, food, and staff at Gadsby's provided us with the perfect end to a great day of showing off the city to visiting relatives. We have dined there several times over past few years and have yet to be disappointed.
This is a wonderful restaurant if you want the ambiance of the mid-1800s. The servers were dressed in the clothes of the period. They were friendly and offered helpful suggestions. I was served on a tin platter, indicative of the period, scrumptious blueberry muffins and a George Washington beer. I had the Roast Beef dip with greuere cheese, mashed potatos and a wonderful dinner salad with a raspberry balsamic vinagrette. I highly recommend this restaurant and it is in a local part of the tourist area.
We had lunch. our server was fantastic. Will definitely come back
The corn pudding is a must and the duck is delicious so. The entertainer is hilarious but at the same time sings lovely. We had a great experience and will return.
We enjoyed a fine dinner and were entertained throughout dinner. Food and service was great.
The food was good. I had the prime rib and my date had Washington's favorite (like Shepherds pie). Both dishes were good. I'll get George Washington's favorite next time. The salad was also note worthy. If you have a nut allergy let them know up front. The salads have peanuts...sounds odd but turns out to be delicious!
The food and wine was incredible. We went as a couples date night and the atmosphere was perfect with old charm as the staff were all dressed in period costumes. They have separate rooms for dining so we were able to sit in a room where there were no children which was perfect for date night! After dinner finish off with a ghost tour and hear the history of the restaurant and local area!
We went for Alexandria's Restaurant Week 2013. The peanut soup was tasty, but the prime rib was amazing!
George Washington ate here and so did we! This is always on our list of must do's when we are in the DC area. The service is great, the staff is very friendly and the food is great! It is definitely worth a trip to Alexandria. The ambiance is wonderful - whisks you right back to the 1700s.
As we walked into Gadsby's we were transported back in time. Waitstaff in period clothing speaking in early american language made us feel like we were back in the early days of our country. Our waitress was fabulous and made excellent recommendations. We started with Smithfield Ham on biscuits and they were melt in your mouth delicious. Son ordered the pork chops - succulent and juicy! My filet mignon with creamy mashed potatoes and asparagus was heaven in every bite. The steak was the most tender and juicy I'd had in a decade. Hubby was extremely pleased with the meatloaf. MIL who ordered the prime rib. She said it was good but thought my steak was better. Flourless chocolate cake was phenomenal and the coffee was superb.
We had a truly lovely meal here recently. This is an historic building, and is very similar to the Kings Arms Tavern in Williamsburg, VA. The peanut soup was delicious, and the prime rib delectable and cooked to perfection. Don't miss dessert either - gingerbread and buttermilk pie. We will eat here again!
You should plan to dine at Gatsby's Tavern on Friday or Saturday. Those evenings they have a very special gentleman, dressed in period clothing. He even speaks as though he's from the 18th century. He's a lot of fun and will even serenade you at the table. An extremely historical location. We take everyone who visits us in Washington DC to Gatsby's. Read about the restaurant before you arrive...you will appreciate its historical significance even more. it is an unforgettable evening. Highly recommended.
I cannot in all fairness either recommend or not recommend this eatery. Perhaps being from Williamsburg has affected my judgement. The food was fair, not great, the service, Ms Debbie, above standards. The food was forgettable, not necessarily unique or memorable. However, this restaurant may suit others.
My wife and i came across this place while on a walking tour, and we learned that this was George Washington's favorite place to eat and since it was still in operation we decided to have diner there the next evening. It was a great experience to sit and dine where George Washington once sat and ate. The prices were very fair and it just had an old world atmosphere. We loved it and we will come back.
We chose Gadsby's for the candlelit atmosphere, traditional fare, and authentic 18th Century surroundings to host a visitor from abroad who had never been to DC. The restaurant did not disappoint; the food was excellent, and the service was unhurried. Sharing a plate of ham biscuits for a starter was a highlight--they were like little warm clouds of flavor.
it was a great experience. My wife and I have been thinking about going there for several years but this was our first visit and it was very nice. good food, good service and great historic atmosphere
Gadsby's always offers the unique colonial dining experience for guests visiting Old Town. The food is very good, with hearty portions. It can get loud if there are large parties. But, it is a Public House! Fun experience for visitors.
first date, had brunch in the court yard . we both enjoyed it and plan to return
food was very good. We had the peanut soup. As my friend said, it was like drinking peanut butter. I didn't think I'd get through it, but ultimately did. Don't think I'd do that again. We also ordered the Smithfield ham biscuits. They were very good - but TINY. Would have liked to have had a full-sized version as an option. Easily the best thing we had. My friend had the Gentlemen's Pye (sic) which was a lamb and beef stew. She enjoyed it quite a bit. By the time we had finished, her dish was clean and her tummy happily full. I had the pork chop and it too was well-prepared and apple-based sauce in which it was served was just right. The period costumes were cute but I didn't care for the table-traveling minstrel.
Historic tavern serving a nice selection of food doesn't overdo it in the cutesy factor.
It was like walking into a historical inn - staff in old timey costume and a food and drink menu fitting of the environment.
If you enjoy colonial history and like to meet interesting people, don't miss Gadsby's Tavern. The meal was delicious, and we were treated to dessert when the staff found out it was an anniversary dinner. The highlight was the strolling minstrel John Douglas Hall, a quick wit who engaged each table in a personal conversation.
Table instantly ready. Food was very tasty. Worth every penny.
Not only if this a wonderful place to visit for the historical background, but the food was delicious. The filet mignon was cooked perfect, which is saying a lot since I requested it to be well done. The ham biscuit appetizer was so tasty.
We ordered the Gentleman's Pye and George Washington's special. Delicious food. Quiet and romantic atmosphere--good for dates. Great 1700's experience. Great for out of town guests. Good beer list too.
I took my parents here for my first time as well. As a history afficianado being in gadsbys's tavern was fascinating! From a tavern and hotel to a war hospital and brothel this place has so much history. The food and service was great definitely recommend the grilled shrimp and prime rib. Will be back.
the food and service here are good. This is something to make sure you try and experience but definitely is not good for all the time.
I love the atmosphere and the history that surrounds you. Sweet to think about eating where our country's forefathers dined. It's by far one of my favorite spots to bring out of town friends.
Great restaurant! Food was amazing! Portions a little small for the price. But overall, worth it!
We had brunch here on a recent day in Old Town. Good food--not super fancy but nice--and quick, friendly service.
The French onion soup was the highlight of the evening. Like a grilled cheese sandwich on rich, roasted onion stew. The prime rib was tender, the seafood fresh. Next time it's soup and dessert, as we were too full to try the dessert!
Dinner exceeded everything we were expecting. The vegetables were grilled perfectly. The potatoes were great and the meat was perfect. The tavern was quiet and the staff were attentive. Take time to eat at the tavern you will not be sorry/.
Delicious food with wonderful décor and ambiance. Very unique and romantic setting, with decorations and servers in appropriate time period attire. Highly recommend!
We chose Gadsby's Tavern for dinner with some friends from out of town. They were very excited about the history of the Tavern. The food was excellent and the service was as well. Its a great place for a dinner for two, or to entertain friends. I'd highly recommend it.
Gadsby's Tavern is a historic gem, with period atmosphere and a friendly staff. We enjoyed a relaxing, special evening with good food appropriate for the period.
Enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was fantastic. The Shellfish Newberg was delicious. The others in the party enjoyed the prime rib and crab cakes. We were celebrating time together as the women in the family and found this the perfect evening out.
Outsranding food, very interesting colonial setting. Very indifferent waiter unfortunately.
Dinner is always a good experience at Gadsby's. The service is always very good, and the food done well. For a lovely, quiet evening out, this is a good choice.
We picked the Tavern for a romantic dinner to celebrate a birthday. The location is convenient, just a short walk from the Old Town shopping district. We arrived 30 minutes early and were pleasantly surprised when the staff immediately seawe us. The pre-dinner drinks were generous and the hors d'ovres (crab cakes and spinach salad) were good. The main courses were lamb all around. They were prepared precisely as requested and the side vegetables (carrots and mashed potatoes) were superb. All in all this is a great place for a quiet romantic time or even for a small group. The old Tavern drips with history and the food is reliably very good.
Love the historical connection with pre civil war Alexandria, VA.
This is a beautiful historic tavern with all of the right touches! My husband and I love the historic homes and establishments so we chose this location for our 14th anniversary. The staff was dressed in period costume and A gentleman who voluntarily comes to the tavern was the topper! He looked very similar to images of Benjamin Franklin, had an incredible sense of humor, spoke as if he were from the 1700's, knew all the events for that particular day in that era, and played an old guitar from around the same era while he sang to us privately. Tip him. My husband had the gentleman's pie and I had the George Washington's favorite. It was all delicious and reasonably priced! Well done, I'll take credit for finding this one. Enjoy!
we found this restaurant to be everything we expected and more. great staff and entertainment, excellent food overall a very pleasing experience.
Had a very enjoyable Sunday brunch with my college-age daughter. The Eggs Benedict with crab cakes was excellent.
Food was excellent. Service average. But, the food experience was something to enjoy. Highly recommended to any and all. Great variety on the menu. Prices are up there, but typical of colonial taverns.
Gadsby's is a historic tavern in Old Town. For example, Thomas Jefferson's inaugural ball was held there. We live in Old Town and can walk to any of the restaurants. People tend to think of it as a touristy place (and many tourists go there), but it is so much more. The food is consistently delicious and the service is generally excellent. Plus the prices are a bit lower than the places on lower King Street without sacrificing the food or ambiance. We have the choice of Old Town, but we find we often gravitate to Gadsby's because the food and service is so good.
We have been going to this restaurant for over 30 years. The quality goes up and down. Currently we think it is up. Gents pie was good, as was the salmon. Gorgonzola salad was quite good, but the tomato was typical out of season quality and should be left off during the winter.
I had high expectations, when I made my reservation, and Gadsby's met each one. The food was awesome. Our set Ed was friendly and attentive. The ambience was exactly as I imagined.
Loved the historical ambiance of the tavern and the food was surprisingly very good (I've eaten at a lot of Williamsburg taverns and they are mostly tourist traps). I had the chicken pot pie and peanut soup. My only negative comment was that it was quite drafty and chilly. The server was sweet but seemed a little flaky. Maybe she was just busy.

Last week's announcement regarding the resurrection of a health-care centre on the southern outskirts of Regina might rightfully be met with mixed emotions from this corner of Saskatchewan.
The acknowledgement that there was a huge error made back in the 1990s to close the Plains Health Centre was front and centre with the announcement being made by Premier Brad Wall and Health Minister Dustin Duncan along with the Regina-Qu'Appelle Health Region.
When the Plains demise was announced by the Roy Romanow-led government of the day, most heads in southern Saskatchewan shook with disbelief. The choice was made to keep two ancient hospitals located in the central part of Regina operational, knowing that any expansion of services in the future was going to be costly, if not impossible. Lack of parking, the age of the buildings and all other logistical barriers did not seem to be on their radar, so the newer and less complicated Plains was eventually turned into a SIAST training centre. At least it became useful again.
Now with a new-look health centre looming on the horizon in southern Regina ... a centre that will be used for cancer outpatient services, CT scans, diagnostic imaging and other services ... we wonder what the future holds for our regional service providers?
Now that Estevan's concerns regarding physician shortages are being addressed, the community has been casting its eyes toward providing more and varied health-care services.
There has been a continual appeal for a CT scanner for St. Joseph's Hospital ever since the ribbon was cut in 1992.
Will the new Plains signal the end of hope for a more complete imaging and diagnostic service in Estevan? Are our expectations of gaining regional hospital status being dashed with this announcement made in Regina?
If the partners had been willing, there is no good reason why a community such as Estevan could not have been established as a centre of excellence for such things as imaging, diagnostics, day surgeries and outpatient service for cancer patients, just as it has been dialysis treatments.
Keep in mind that a two-hour trip to Regina on our current highways, which are in a state of disrepair, is a painful one even for healthy bodies. Making a cancer, or any other fragile client, endure a four-hour round trip for less than an hour of outpatient service that could be provided locally doesn't make sense on any front. A two-hour round trip might, but four or more hours from any direction, does not.
It appears as if this is just the latest endeavour to centralize health-care services in our two major cities without giving much consideration to those who live outside that one-hour bureaucratic comfort zone.
The money, the capabilities, the desire, the space, and expertise is available outside Regina and Saskatoon. All that is lacking is the political will to make it happen.
So while we view the new Plains concept as a needed and welcome addition to provincial health-care service, we have to wonder ... at whose expense?
Where is Randy Weekes, our newly created minister of Rural and Remote Health Care standing on this issue and where, how and when is he going to weigh in on the topic? Is provision of rural health care simply defined as being in south Regina?
It appears from here this could be a hot topic to be debated right out of the gate between Duncan and Weekes as they struggle to define their separate roles.

Best streaming music apps for iPhone: Songza, Spotify, Rdio, and more!
The best streaming music apps for iPhone, whether you need huge collections, offline access, or international reach. Can't stop the signal!
The iPhone was born of the iPod and as Apple is fond of saying, there's music in its DNA. While Apple will be introducing iTunes Radio as part of iOS 7 this fall in the U.S., there are many other services that stream music to iPhones in all sorts of different ways, in all sorts of different regions. So which one is best for you? We'll help you find out. Here are our favorites!
Note: Availability and sometimes catalog size and feature sets vary greatly by location. The U.S. has most services, other countries only a few or none.
If you aren't the "mixed bucket of tracks" kind of girl or boy and know exactly what you like, Spotify lets you create just exactly the type of experience you want from their library of around 20 million songs. It's one of the largest, if not the largest of any streaming music service currently available. You need to pay the $9.99 a month subscription fee to have access to Spotify's mobile apps and the ability to create offline playlists, but you can try before you buy.
If having access to the largest collection of music available for streaming is the most important feature for you, get Spotify.
- Free - Download Now
Rdio's big attraction is that you aren't limited on how many songs you can save for offline use. If your device can hold them, they're yours to use offline use as long as you're a subscriber - which will run you $9.99 a month. Rdio also has a great interface and design aesthetic, if that sort of thing matters to you more than collection size.
If you don't want to be limited to how many tracks you can save for offline use, get Rdio.

Songza acts like a concierge or assistant. Select the type of music you want to listen to or tell Songza what you're doing and it will give you music suited for just that occasion. The playlists inside Songza are curated by industry experts and DJs. You can even match Songza to the exact headphones you're wearing for optimal song quality. The free version of Songza is ad supported. If you'd like to remove ads and get premium content, you can join Club Songza for $0.99 a week via in-app purchase.
If you care more about mixes and quality playlists than anything else, Songza is a great choice.

Pandora is free if you're okay with ads and listening limits on iOS. If you're not, you can subscribe to Pandora One for $3.99 a month or $36 a year in order to remove ads, access the desktop app, have unlimited listening privileges, and have more skips (6 per hour). Pandora only offers around 1 million songs, which is on the small side.
If you're looking for a free option that doesn't require a subscription in order to access the service through mobile and you're okay with limitations, a smaller selection, and ads, get Pandora.
- Free - Download Now
Slacker recently redid all of its mobile and web offerings and brings to the table a library of 13 million songs, many of them from indie artists. If you're a sports fan, Slacker also offers many sports stations and covers many events that other streaming services don't even touch. Their Fine Tune system lets you better tailor your experience as well. Subscriptions start at $3.99 a month
If you're a sports fan and want ESPN Radio, Slacker is the only streaming service that can give it to you .

I like Rdio the best. Used Spotify for a long time, but the thing I hated about Spotify is that everything had to be a playlist. I just wanted to add artists to a collection, I don't want 100 playlist of albums, drove me crazy. Rdio allows me to have a collection of artists, playlists for mixes, and saved radio stations. Plus I can actually search for playlists on my mobile and not just on the desktop like Spotify. Plus, Spotify's mobile UI looksl ancient.
But it just comes down to preference and Rdio works best for me.
I use Rhapsody. Here's an example why:
Download an album not already in your library for offline listening on an iPad:
Rhapsody – 1 tap
Spotify – 8 taps
iTunes radio is about to blow all of them away for Mac or iOS users.
Rdio & Songza for me. Rdio is $10 well spent every month for unlimited access to a huge collection of music. Plus the app design is beautiful, it'll feel right at home in ios7. When I don't know what I want to listen to and the Rdio stations aren't doing it for me, Songza is a great backup. Streaming FTW!!
Agreed! these two apps are also my favorites and I use TuneIn when I need to listen to a specific radio station. Something that wasn't mentioned in the review about Rdio besides its very nice, smooth UI is the "remote" feature that NON of the others have. Being able to pick up on my iPhone exactly where I left on my computer or iPad, or even control with any of them what sounds in the other if maybe it's plugged charging or connected to a stereo system, is priceless. Here in Latin America only Rdio (and Deezer) are available that's also a 10

I use Pandora when I'm not in the mood to really get specific with an Artist or Album. Otherwise I stream my own music collection using Subsonic. Might be a good topic for another post. ;-)
Just to throw this out there, I've been using the Cloud Play app to pull music from my Google All Access subscription instead of Google's web app. I've tried a couple of different apps, but Cloud Play's been working nicely. I think it's missing things like playlist support and a couple of other things, but for using it to plug into All Access is pretty clean.
8tracks has become my go to! Something about knowing that person selected all of the playlists just makes the music that much better in my opinion
Rdio gives me millions of tracks in Canada. Spotify gives me 0 tracks in Canada.
Therefore, Rdio utterly leaves Spotify in the dust.
I recently discovered Raditaz. Its free and it works great on my ipod touch (4th gen). Commercial-free, user-friendly interface & no rerun songs. There are options to log in to facebook or other social media to set up custom radio stations, but for the most part the app works just fine right out of the box without any kind of log-in info.
Top pick for me is Rhapsody. A little pricier but I've been using for years way before it went mobile and no complaints. New artist and old. Love me some Earth,Wind and Fire. Do I get a witness.
Sent from the iMore App
I loved Raditaz, but they just went down for upgrades and they are not saying when they will be back. I'm pretty bummed - I use that app daily.

My husband and I were so happy with this purchase. We had bought a dining room table somewhere else and I wasn't crazy about the chairs that came with so I was looking online. Not only is the price exactly right but the quality is exceptional. We bought 2 first, because buying a chair online is a bit of a leap of faith ... you don't really know how comfortable it is till you actually sit on it. I was so relieved to find that they were extremely comfortable with a nice high back and cushions that aren't too soft or too firm. The back did not dig in like some wood back chairs do. We quickly purchased 6 more for a total set of 8. Last night was our first big family dinner at the table with everyone invited and received tons of compliments. The one thing I have to add about the chair is that the boxes they come in were all filthy. I mean beat up and filthy to the point where it got on our hands and clothes. It was almost as if it was covered in soot. It wasn't only one box it was all 4 of them!. I was so afraid that the chairs would be damaged but luckily they were not. All in all - great buy. Another overstock success story I guess :)
I was very happy with these chairs. They were identical to what I saw online, and I love their arts & craft style; simple lines, modern but not too modern. They are solid chairs and the black faux leather as the padding looks every bit as nice as what real leather would be. A good design choice and an economical one too.
These chairs are good looking, solid and easy to put together. Most of the chair is put together using the usual furniture bolts with an included allen wrench. I would suggest buying a hex bit to attach to a manual bit driver to make things quicker if you have to assemble several of these chairs at once. The cross braces at the bottom of the chair screw directly into the legs which have no guide holes predrilled. In this case, a phillips #2 attached to a power drill is the best way to go unless you are patient enough to muscle them in by hand with a manual screwdriver. I would say that their color is a bit lighter than the webpage photos. They are dark, but not espresso dark. We are very happy with the chairs.
These chairs came packaged very well, so that there were no damages during shipment. It took a bit of time and effort for assembly, mainly because tight placement of some of the hardware made for tricky maneuvering of the included allen wrench. A WORD OF CAUTION: the included (brass?) hardware is of sub-par quality. Work slowly with the wrench to avoid stripping the bolts while assembling. Once assembled, I was pleased by the overall quality of the chairs. The wood has a nice warm color, the seat pad material is durable and very leather-like, and the chairs have a great weight to them. Unfortunately, as the chairs have been used for a few weeks, the hardware has loosened repeatedly, requiring regular re-tightening of the already slightly-stripped bolts. I would recommend using red (permanent) LOCKTITE on the bolts during first assembly to avoid this. Using the chairs on a hard surface may help to avoid this problem as well. I've been using them on a thicker carpet which may cause more tension on the legs as people try and move the chairs while seated. Retighten the bolts AS SOON as you notice any movement in the legs to avoid the hardware ripping out of the wood completely (which happened to one of my chairs). Would recommend for someone who has time and energy to assemble (and possibly reassemble) with diligence.
chairs were shipped quickly and easy to put together. WE notice that they are not as sturdy as our prior chairs but the price was much less as well. THey go well with the decore and happy overall
I just bought my wife a custom made Irish Paupers Table for our fifth year anniversary and needed some chairs the table. These chairs were absolutely perfect. They look amazing next to the table and were easy to assemble. The only thing I would say on the assembly is to have someone help you when attaching the sidebars, so they go on even, and make sure you follow the Right and Left stickers. I accidentally attached one of them backwards and the chair was wobbly, although I took it apart and put it back together correctly and it's perfect now.
Arrived on time and no damage. Very easy and looks just like picture.
We purchased our dining room table several years ago. It came with four chairs and a bench. I found the bench to be awkward seating even for our grandchildren. I went to Overstock.com to try to find two chairs to replace the bench and was surprised to find what appeared to be an exact match for our current chairs. After reading the description and measurements of the chairs I decided they were a really close match, if not exact. Upon arrival, I was delighted to find them to be an exact match. My only other concern was if we could assemble them without too much trouble. Other Reviewers had said the assembly was easy and I would like to agree. I actually assembled them without any help from my husband. If you like the online pictures, you should not be disappointed with your purchase. They arrived quickly without any damage and were well packaged.
I waited and finally the products came. So excited and forgot to check all parts of the chairs in the box and went ahead to install them. It turned out that 2 out of 4 chairs' back corner were broken. They then glued them together as I can see that they were glued back the chipped wood and then painted them. I was very disappointed. The chairs are sturdy and nice style but just defected! I will never buy furniture online again as it is so much work to ship them back. It is better to buy them in store as I can see them visually and check them before bringing them home. Even returning is easier too because no packing, taping the boxes, and dropping off at UPS.
Easy to put together with two people. The chairs are comfortable and seem sturdy.

Orta Restaurant
Online Reservations
good service, good food... a bit noisy...will try again!
The food was delicious, the wait staff attentive, the noise level quite high, and we did have to wait more than fifteen minutes past our reservation time for our table to be ready, but we'd go again!
We arrived and were seated immediately at our designated reservation time. The table was not to our liking and the hostess moved us (with a no hassle smile) to a table of our choice. The wait staff was prompt and courteous. The four of us all ordered different meals and were very satisfied with our choices. I personally loved the beet salad and the orichette pasta with sausage. I will definitely get this dish again but would request less salt be used. I recommend going to Orta, you won't be disappointed.
A family favorite but also romantic and cozy. Go Go Go
Had the corn chowder as an appetizer and the scallop special as the main course.....EXCELLENT. We live in Mass in the summer and Palm Beach in the winter so we have a fair amount of exposure to many different menus What a local find !!!!
I had the short ribs that were excellent. They were service with gnocchi that were cooked perfectly which is hard to do. We had a tomatoe and mozzarella salad that was also very good. My husband had steak and was very happy with the dinner. Our waiter was more than attentive and funny. We would definitely return to this restaurant.
We have been dining at Orta since it opened and it has consistently been very good. The food is well prepared and presented, and the service is efficient and pleasant. The sauce in the mussels appetizer was delicious, as were the pasta Bolognese and the short ribs main dishes. If you make a special request for seating, they do their best to accommodate you, which is much appreciated. Recommended.
I made a reservation and the resturant was able to accomodate our seating request. Everyone was very friendly. In fairness, the other three people in my party would probably rate their entree as outstanding. I got the rigatoni which was good, but wish I had tried something different because I've had the rigatoni before. Still have to try the pizza. Definitely recommend for a date night as there's a lot of energy in the restaurant.
The food was cooked to perfection, the ambiance was relaxing and enjoyable, the décor was comfortable, pleasing to the eye & senses. The staff was sincerely friendly, helpful and courteous.
one of the best crusts on a pizza around. my husband had a halibut special and it was yummy. will def come back Found this place on OT just got transferred and was looking for a place to go after work. Glad I found it, I love a nice glass of wine and a pizza after dinner.
I have been to ORTA twice now and cannot wait to visit again to try something new. The beet salad is just fantastic! Orta seems to offer something just a bit more delicious than usual!
Nice atmosphere! Food was very good-served quickly. Will return again - looking forward to trying the brick oven pizza made from their newly built Italian oven!
Orta's menu has something for everyone! My daughter is a vegetarian, I'm on Weight Watchers, the others just love "good food!" All of us left very satisfied with our dinners and the great selection of entrees and appetizers. I would recommend this little restaurant to anyone!
The food was fantastic! Very fresh ingredients and served piping hot. The Host who greeted us and showed us to our table was very quiet and deadpan. Not the best start but the waiter was professional, knowledgeable and personable. The atmosphere is hip and European which is great but the noise level is high due to the open kitchen and tables being very close together. However, the food is sooo good that would never deter me from going!
Both my wife and I enjoyed our meals very much and would recommend this restaurant on that basis. The restaurant seems to have a good ambiance about although we were tucked at table behind the bar so this detracted from the experience slightly. Service was good and reliable . Decent wine and drink list was plus. Overall, an enjoyable night out.
Have visited Orta several times and have never been disappointed. On this very busy evening, service started out as 5 stars and dwindled down to 3 stars mainly because of a very long wait between salad and entrée. No explanation or apology for unusually long wait for entrée. I ordered the 1/2 roasted chicken served with a mushroom risotto that was outstanding. My dining companion ordered the restaurant's version of chicken parm. The plate was a little dry, seemed like it may have been sitting under a warmer I would definitely go back. Would highly recommend the panzanella salad.
I have been to Orta many times usually in the summer more because of our cottage being closer than home. In the summer it seemed much less crowded than this weekend. Thank Goodness we had put in a reservation earlier in the week. In the summer they had nice entertainment in the bar, not sure if they will be doing it in the fall/winter. The food is always great here - the service too. I can not say enough about Orta, go and see for yourself you will not be disappointed. This Italian food is as good as or better than most North End restaurants. (which we frequently go to) it has better atmosphere, easier to park at and a bar for a drink after. So skip North End and try Orta.
Group of six went out for dinner Sat. Enjoyable by all. Food selection was good for the price.
Although the famed pizza oven was under repair, we found plenty on the menu. The mussels were unusual and excellent, and the pasta with mushrooms and asparagus was really delicious. A nice evening.
food was great, but we had to wait an hour for our dinners.( I guess there was a large party downstairs)
Great service, outstanding food, attentive staff, a great resturant!
Alwaays a good place to dine. Good food, service and menu. Relatively quiet - even when full.
We drive by often but didn't stop until we had a coupon. When we arrived they showed us to a table lined up in the interior of the restaurant. We didn't like this area so we pointed to another which they said was reserved. The third choice, along the window wall, was acceptable. The server arrived promptly. The cocktail I chose was delicious. He helped us chose appetizers which were both great, the salad special and the rice balls. My husband had the lamb shank special and I chose the salmon, both were quite good. We shared the dessert which was almost too much even for sharing. The prices were as expected. The surprise was how good the food was. Although the menu was small, every thing we chose was very good.
Waitress was fantastic, orancini app was as a good as those in we had in Naples Italy
We arrived early so had a chance to enjoy the bar. A good selection of bottled beer was available for reasonable prices. Dinner was very well done. Our server, Colleen, kept the water glasses full, clearly explained the menu and was attentive while not overbearing. The pace was just right. It was refreshing to not be barraged by televisions in the dining room. The food was distinctive and delicious. Appropriate condiments were readily offered. All four of us completely enjoyed our meals.
I was there with my four daughter and wife we had a great dinner, service was great /kids made ther own pizza excellent.
There were eight total in our party. Everyone was very pleased with the quality of the food. We would go back for sure, even with a thirty minute drive. Loved the wine list and dessert. Braised ribs and Chicken were huge hits. YUMMY!
excelllent service. good food. marinara sauce was a little bland.
absolutely loved everything about Orta! My boyfriend and I rarely go out to dinner and were looking for a nice romantic spot and someone recommended orta. Right when we walked in it felt like we were in a high class north end restaurant. food was AMAZING and the wait staff were so nice and organized
Small menu selection for entrees. Food was good. A good plce to try something different. The tuna tartar, very good but needed more sauce. The braised beef pizza was excellent. The beef carpaccio was amazing. The arncinni's were okay, I wasn't a fan but the hubby loved them (I personally don't think anything compares to East Bay's) Service was great. The atmosphere was just okay, I'm not really into small tables on top of each other and the wait forthe louge side was 45 minutes at 730 on a Friday night. The place really cleared out though around 830 so if we were to go back I'd go a little later to have some seating options.
Everything was delicious. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful.
We definitely will return. Noble of the dining flaws we've encountered in other places. Food was really good, service great and owners are there, working hard, paying attention to details. A real gem tucked away in a classy strip mall!
Our first time visit to Orta was very impressive. The wait staff was helpful and accommodating in our desire to try several things; and their knowledge of the menu was right on. Our shared beat salad was delivered to our table beautifully presented for each of us. The pizzas are well executed in a wood grilled oven with seating around it. Our waitstaff said that the aromatic bolognese was amazing...and it was perfectly done, coating every piece of pasta with just the right amount of creamy meat sauce...no liquid at the bottom of my dish. The braised veal meatloaf was moist and flavorful accompanied by vegetables and a wedge of seasonal squash. We were pleased that the owner stopped at our table to chat. We will be back, and often.
This is my now favorite restaurant. I have been here at least 6 times in the last year and it just keeps getting better!! Great seasonal food that has never disappointed, great drinks and wine and fabulous service!! Just tried their new brunch offerings this past weekend and was not disappointed - short rib hash was so rich and flavorful and eggs Benedict was perfect!! Get there if you can!!
I have driven by Orta so many times and had no idea that his swanky little restaurant was inside. I sat at the bar waiting for my party to join me, I was glad we had reservations because there was a wait at 7PM on a Friday night. They were even seating people in the bar area for dinner. We ordered the eggplant appetizer and the calamari which didn't blow us away - I wish we had ordered the meatball because I hear they are good. Our entrees were delicious though, I had the steak, it was cooked perfect and the others in my party ordered the tuna and the cod and both were just as good. We also shared a chocolate bread pudding thing, it had peanut butter gelato and was just enough to split before ending the night. Tasty and glad we went!
Prompt seating, attentive and friendly staff, superb food...What can I say? It was a great meal.
Open table worked great. there was a waiting line but we were seated promptly by a friendly hostess Our waiter Shawn could not have been better. He was knowledgeable about the menu and answered our questions fluently. He was always around without being intrusive. Although it was very good, the only negative aspect is that there was a very small portion of cheese in the beet salad. I will come back again.
Went there for first time for our anniversary. Had a great cocktails and superb entre' Will go again
Stu was our waiter..he was very congenial and had the right amount of play with our group. We were celebrating a birthday..food was served at a great pace. We had been to this restaurant before and did not have a great experience but things have changed for the absolute better...would recommend highly. Stu was delightful and the food was great...
from the moment we entered the restaurant we felt pampered, and left feeling the same way
Beautiful restaurant. Hands on owners and very nice. Food was delicious!
The New wines recently added were a huge plus. The Mount Veeder was GREAT!! The Pizza was FANTASTIC. We had a party of 6 and we were comfortable and VERY WELL taken care of.
Food, service, ambiance, are all excellent. menu changes just enough to keep it interesting throughout the year. This is our "go to" option when friends are in town to special occasions-birthdays, and when you just want a good meal and don't want to drive in to Boston. They never dissapoint.
Orta's pizza is as close to authentic Italian as you'll find in Mass.
Once again a great dining experience, beet salad, short ribs and salmon all excellent. We have been to Orta multiple time never disappointed always a great take.
First time here will go back again..soon. The food, presentation & service was great! We know our food this place is a gem..It was noisy (high ceilings) which is expected. We will be back! Over the years we have had several good dining establishments on the south shore, which we enjoy. (before, needed to go to Boston) Orta's will be one of our favorites moving forward.
If you have not yet tried this restaurant out, you are missing out on a great dining experience.
Orta is always a good choice. Wait staff is well-trained and professional. The menu is creative and the food is tasty. We dine here frequently and it is always good with rare exception.
My friend and I decided to meet for brunch, and brunch is something I normally don't do because you always get way too much food. Orta had a fabulous menu with different menu items with fairly reasonable prices for the quality of the food. I didn't want the potatoes with mine and asked for a vegetable substitution and loved it. (grilled hangar steak with pico de gallo & chimmichurri sauce) with broccoli rabe instead of with eggs & potatoes. The server was very attentive.
We had not been back to Orta since before their change in ownership. Definitely noticed a positive difference in both the quality/presentation of the food as well as the service. The salads and entrees were delicious with great presentation (we had the gnocchi and tuna entrees as well as the beet salad). We will be back again soon.

In this signally important book Dr. Singsangob presents the case for such a framework with rigour and intensity. His clear-sighted analysis brings into relief, time and time again, many relevant factors, including the following: the ongoing business strategy whereby owners of software and information impose licensing agreements drawn up to their own advantage while merely paying lip service to meaningful reform of copyright law; the vicious cycle that sets in when a country cannot control the internal distribution of software and information, leading to a general lack of confidence in that country's standards and quality and the consequent withdrawal of investment; and the need for a gradual transition from the contract-based licensing approach (albeit on a more equitable basis) to a specific law such as the model law in preparation by UNCITRAL. Dr. Singsangob's study is enhanced by in-depth comparative analysis of numerous provisions in applicable laws of the United States, Thailand, and the European Union, as well as international conventions and the U.S. Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA). Although he clearly exposes the conflicts and incompatibilities that underlie the complexity of this area of the law, he argues that a viable legal regime is not far to seek, although time must be allowed for the current bias in favour of licensors to be corrected. He asserts that some such fundamental legal change must occur if we are to have a democratic future.
This is a book that promises to bear fruit in the thinking and policymaking of professionals in a number of fields, including economic development, contract law, technology development, and communications law.

Garbage pickup will resume old schedule By ROBERT MOORE Of The Times Staff The garbage collection schedule abandoned by Shreveport Mayor Bill Hanna in the throes of a sanitation crisis last July will be resumed Monday, ac-cording to city officials. Under the planned schedules, re-sidences that have been receiving garbage service — collection of household wastes — on Tuesdays and Thursdays will now have their garbage picked up on Mondays and Thursdays. Residences that have been receiving service on Wednesdays and Fridays will return to their old schedule of Tuesdays and Fridays. Trash, which is generally defined as small tree and bush limbs, leaves and yard trimmings, will be picked up on regular schedules of Mondays through Fridays. The existing schedules were not the first choice for either the administra-tion or many residents when Hanna authorized them in October because they left two days and five days between collections instead of the three-day and four-day periods allowed under the old schedules. The garbage schedules were initially changed in late July when a torrent of garbage packer breakdowns forced the mayor temporarily to move to once-a-week garbage collection on Mondays through Thursdays. The move left the public works garage three-day weekends to repair packers. With the arrival in October of about a dozen new packers, the mayor returned to twice-weekly garbage service of Tuesday-Thursday and Wednesday-Fri-day collections. The schedules reflected a concession by the administration to workers after they had threatened to walk off the job if they lost their three-day weekends. Under the original schedule, garbage employees worked four 10-hour days, getting Wednesdays off. Trash workers have maintained their five-day, eight-hours- a-day schedules throughout. Public Works Director Del Ervin said late last year garbage workers had agreed to return to their original schedules, allowing them Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays off, but the administration delayed implementing the old schedules until after the Jan. 17 sales tax hike. The administration reasoned that a change before the election might con-fuse the public if the election had failed because a defeat might have forced a return to once-weekly garbage collec-tions as a cost-saving measure. Ervin said Tuesday the return to the old schedules should be permanent, but he hopes to modify the service — by combining garbage and trash collection routes — within the 12 months. He said that under such a plan, garbage and trash would be picked up simultaneously twice weekly. Before he can institute the changes, he said, he plans to hire a company with expertise in setting up computer pro-grams for sanitation collection routes to determine the best possible routes for the city. He said he also hopes to have received 20 new 25-cubic-yard packers, 10 having been ordered in 1980 and 10 he hopes will be approved in the amended 1981 budget. The new packers will combine with the 27 new 20-yard packers secured late last year to represent a replacement of more than 50 percent of the ailing fleet in two years' time. Last year's sanitation crisis was caused by delays in procuring the 27 packers in 1980, the absence of funding for regular replacement of packers and officials' failure to realize the need to buy trucks in February 1979, critical spending decisions for the year having been made less than three months after the change in the form of government.

Festive strata is perfect for brunch
Bread pudding or stratas, as they are sometimes called, are perfect for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Because they can be made a day ahead before baking, stratas really are a cook's best friend. Served in souffle dishes, in individual ramekins, or in shallow baking dishes, bread puddings are difficult to resist because of their old-fashioned quality.

Hull KR have confirmed they are in talks with local businessman Tony Larvin over his offer to make a "substantial investment" in the Super League club.
The 48-year-old, a former junior player with the Robins, is thought to be ready to plough up to £15million into the club to transform their fortunes.
Larvin told the Hull Daily Mail that talks are in the final stages and that he is in the process of transferring the first instalment of £5m into Hull KR's account, which would immediately clear their debt of around £2m.
In a statement, the club said: "In light of recent coverage in the media we can confirm that club representatives have met with Tony Larvin regarding a substantial investment in Hull Kingston Rovers.
"Those meetings took place prior to Christmas and again earlier this week.
"At this stage there will be no further comment until such time as the necessary proof of funds has been delivered to the club."
If the deal goes through, Larvin will take full financial control, with chairman Neil Hudgell and vice-chairman Rob Crossland remaining on the board but no longer needing to bankroll the club.

Parents tell me their daughter is intelligent and did well in school up until the seventh grade, at which time she stopped doing the required work and her grades, consequently, went down the proverbial tube.
My response: "Who cares?"
The parents of a 15-year-old want to know what to do about his refusal to keep his bedroom and bathroom neat and clean. His possessions are strewn everywhere, he doesn't hang up his towels, he disposes of food by shoving it under his bed, and so on.
My response: "Who cares?"
In each case, the parents have a legitimate complaint. I am simply asking these parents to identify the person or persons who is/are upset by the problem in question, because it is a simple fact that the person or persons who is/are upset by the problem will try to solve it. And therein lies the possible reason why these problems aren't being solved, because in each case the problem can only be solved by the child in question.
In each case, I discover, it's the parents who care. They are upset. They are pulling their hair out. And in each case, the child does not care. The girl does not seem to care about her grades. The teen is oblivious to the mess that is his room and bathroom.
The fact is that the wrong people care. The wrong people are upset. Therefore, the only people who can solve the problems have no reason to solve them. The simple fact is that not until these children are forced to become upset about these problems - not until they begin to care more than their parents care - will they solve them.
So, the girl's parents confiscate her most prized possession: her cellphone. She will get it back when her grades come up and stay there for one grading period. When she is informed of this, she throws a tantrum like one she hasn't thrown since she was a toddler. Good. Now she cares. If any sense at all remains, she will solve her problem.
And the teen comes home one day to discover that his parents have thoroughly cleaned his room. In the process, they threw away whatever they felt like throwing away and have stored his most coveted possessions in a storage locker to which only they have the code. They tell him to take a close look at the job they did because he must keep his room and bathroom to that standard for two straight months before they will return his stuff. And if he doesn't clean his room, they will. At first, he is angry. When that doesn't move his parents, he asks their forgiveness and promises to keep his room clean if they will return his stuff. They refuse. He gets angry again, then apologizes again, then begins to beg. His parents stand firm. Good. Now he cares.
In each case, the child quickly solves the problem.

What's New | |
Start Launching Amazon EC2 Spot Instances with AWS CloudFormation You can now use AWS CloudFormation templates to create and manage a collection of related AWS resources, including Spot Instances. To get you started, we are providing three new CloudFormation templates that are optimized to save you money and manage interruption:
Leverage Spot Instances via Auto Scaling You can now leverage Auto Scaling to manage your Spot Instances. Using Auto Scaling you can place bids for Amazon EC2 Spot Instances using launch configurations, get notifications of launches and terminations, and set up a schedule for placing bids. To learn more, please visit the Launching Spot Instances with Auto Scaling section of the Amazon EC2 User's Guide. |
Get Notifications about your Spot Instances This code tutorial and sample enables you to use Amazon SNS notifications to be alerted to changes in the state of your Amazon EC2 Instances, current Spot Instance Requests, and Spot Prices within a particular region. By leveraging this new code sample, you can now setup your applications running on Spot Instances to more easily manage the potential of interruption. To view this sample application and tutorial, please click here. |
Introduction to Managing Interruption |
Because Spot Instances can be terminated with no warning, it is important to build your applications in a way that allows you to make progress even if your application is interrupted. There are many ways to accomplish this, two of which are splitting your work into small increments (via Grid, Hadoop-based, or queue-based architectures) or adding checkpoints to you application. The sections below provide an overview of several commonly used architectures leveraged by existing Spot customers. |
Amazon Elastic MapReduce makes it easy to mix Spot Instances with On-Demand or Reserved Instances within the same data processing cluster. This reduces cost and accelerates processing time while removing the risk of cluster failure due to Spot market fluctuations. If Spot Instances are interrupted due to a change in the Spot Price, tasks running on those instances are simply added back to the data processing queue to be handled by the remaining On-Demand instances. Customers can either continue data processing with the reduced cluster size or dynamically add additional instances to the cluster to replace the interrupted instances. |
Launching Amazon EMR Job Flows with Spot Instances |
Scenario #1: No Spot Instances 4 On-Demand Instances * 14 hrs * $0.50 = $28 Scenario #2: On-Demand with Additional Spot Instances 4 On-Demand Instances * 7 hrs * $0.50 = $14 5 Spot Instances * 7 hrs * $0.05 = $1.75 Total = $15.75 Time Savings: 50% Cost Savings: ~44% |
Grids are a form of distributed computing that enables a user to leverage multiple instances to perform parallel computations. Customers, like Numerate, Scribd, and University of Barcelona/University of Melbourne, use Grid Computing with Spot Instances because this type of architecture can take advantage of Spot Instance's built-in elasticity and low prices to get work done faster at a more cost-effective price. To get started, a user will break down their work into discrete units called jobs, and then submit that work to a "master node". These jobs will be queued up, and a process called a "scheduler" will distribute that work out to other instances in the grid, called "worker nodes". Once the result is computed by the worker node, the master node is notified, and the worker node can take the next operation from the queue. If the job fails or the instance is interrupted, the job will automatically be re-queued by the scheduler process. |
How to Launch a Cluster on Spot |
Many customers use a Grid scheduler like Oracle Grid Engine or UniCloud to setup a cluster. If you have long running workloads, the best practice is to run the master node on On-Demand or Reserved Instances, and run the worker nodes on Spot or a mixture of On-Demand, Reserved, and Spot Instances. Alternatively, if you have a workload that is less than an hour or you are running a test environment, you may want to run all of your instances on Spot. No matter the setup, we recommend that you create a script to automatically re-add instances that may be interrupted. Some existing tools can help you manage this process like StarCluster. |
As an example, imagine an application that leverages Amazon EC2 Spot Instances and Amazon SQS. The application has three SQS queues: To-Process, Processed, and Exception. Based on the depth of the queue, the master node will use the Spot provisioning APIs to scale up or down Spot Instance worker nodes. Alternatively, the Spot instance can be started as a persistent bid, so if it fails, it will automatically be restarted. Once a Spot instance is started, the application will determine which queues to leverage by reading from the user data passed into the instance at launched time or configuration stored remotely in Amazon SimpleDB or Amazon S3. Worker nodes running on Spot Instances will then select the next job from the To-Process queue and lock the job. Locking the job will prevent other worker nodes from trying to compute that same job until a specified amount of time passes or the job is completely processed. If the job is successfully processed, the worker node will post a reply with the results to the Processed queue where the master node can perform any additional logic. Alternatively, if the job fails to be processed because it takes too long or the worker node is interrupted, the job will be moved to the exception queue, enabling the master node to perform any additional specialized logic, like re-queuing the job. If the job failed because the Spot Instance went away, then the master node can also choose to start a new Spot Instances if necessary too. |
DNAnexus DNAnexus provides a unified system of data management and sequence analysis for DNA sequencing centers and researchers. DNAnexus uses Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Spot Instances to conduct all of its DNA analysis, while Amazon EC2 On-Demand Instances handle the company's interactive services, such as its client front end portal and visualization tools. DNAnexus also relies on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) to meet the company's extensive storage demand, which will grow from terabytes into petabytes of data. |
Numerate Numerate is a Bay Area biotechnology platform company focused on making the drug design process more data-driven, efficient, and predictable. The company has incorporated Amazon EC2 as a production computational cluster and Amazon S3 for cache storage. Numerate enjoys around 50% cost savings by using Amazon EC2 Spot Instances after spending just 5 days of engineering effort. |
University of Melbourne / University of Barcelona In support of the Belle Experiment, an international High Energy Physics (HEP) experiment, a joint team from the University of Barcelona and the University of Melbourne uses Amazon EC2 and the DIRAC distributed computing software framework to define and steer the execution of experiment simulation and data reprocessing. Moving to Amazon EC2 Spot Instances enabled the University of Melbourne to save 56% per instance hour with negligible changes to their application. |

Good all around
By Alone but not lonely
from Rock Hill, SC
I have had a number of these and other Princeton Tec headlamps. I have given several to friends. They are great. This one I use for a back up or as a lighter model to the Apex headlamp. The people at Princeton Tec are great too. I had a headlamp mallfunction once and they sent me a new one quickly. Their headlamps resist water in heavy rain and are brighter than other brands. Batteries last a very long time. I use them for everything from camping to riding a bike at night to working on the car in the dark.

Princeton Tec 2009 Model
By Colorado Outdoorsman
from Denver, CO
I have only used the product a couple times now, but find it to be extremely useful. I have never used a headlamp before so I may be biased just because of the ease of use with this type of product compared to a regular flashlight. I have used it camping and hiking. It was perfect for both. Light weight, strong beam, adjustable beam, and small in size so it's easy to put in your pocket when you dont need it. The only issue I had was that to make it as stable as I wanted it, the strap seemed to give me a bit of a headache; however, I think this would happen with any strapped headlamp. I strongly recommend changing to a headlamp if you are a camping, fishing or hiking enthusiast.

Great Headlamp
By AL
from WNC
This headlamp has been great for night hiking trips, backpacking, and car camping. Tough headlamp with 4 light beam levels...
Love it!
By Farmer's Wife
from Somewhere, KS
I realize that most people probably buy this item for sporting purposes, but I bought it for my husband for different reasons. My husband is a farmer, and he has been doing shop work in a building that doesn't have adequate lighting. I gave him this headlamp for Christmas, and he loves it! It's so much easier for him to work on equipment now that he has two free hands. Also, it has made it safer for him to go check grain bins at night, because he doesn't have to hold a flashlight while he's climbing ladders. It is very bright, and has a very long battery life. I recommend this product :)

Why You Should Read Your Writing Out Loud . . .
Last Christmas, Santa brought my kid a karaoke machine which I immediately swiped for my own literary purposes. It's got a microphone and an amplifier, perfect for reading my rough drafts out loud to one or more of the cats in my office on any given morning. Alone except for Alger Hiss and Eeyore, I pretend I'm reading on This American Life, rehearsing word choices and sentences and characters' emotions.
I've always suggested that my writing students read their work aloud before submitting it to editors. At its most basic, performing a piece allows you to catch typos and problems with verb tense and awkward syntax. But if you envision yourself on the radio or on stage, and treat your reading like a performance, you'll get a solid feeling of the manuscript's narrative arc and characterization and theme. Trust me—reading out loud is not just for former high school thespians—and it'll prep you for going on book tour once your manuscript's in print.
Fellow Eugenean, JoJo Jensen, understands the value of reading aloud. I've just finished writing a short profile of her new business for The Writer Magazine. Jensen, who works as a voice talent, launched Chapter & Voice earlier this year—it's a service for writers in any genre, matching a short segment of their manuscript with a professional voice talent to produce a high-quality digital audio clip which writers can then send to agents and editors, attach to their e-mail signature, and put on their website as one more way to reach out to readers.
Writing can be an awfully silent endeavor. If you work like I do, you prefer no music, no television, not even a rousing cat-fight to interrupt the creative process. But once you've finished your rough draft, why not grab the nearest karaoke machine and have at it? Better yet, gather an audience of friends and family members and perform your piece. Once you're comfortable reading your work aloud, you can craft 300-word commentaries in your spare time and read them on various radio stations. Here are a few websites to get you started:
- This I Believe–Share an essay that explores one of the values informing your daily life.
- Minnesota Public Radio–Share your insights into contemporary political and social topics.
- Youth Radio–For young adults, offer your perspective on the issues shaping your world.
I'd love to know readers' methods for reading your work aloud. Feel free to comment below!

Now I know what to put on my Christmas list!
Comment by Joan | September 22, 2011 |
I'm visually impaired and use screen reading software to read back to me what I've written. I'm also able to read printed material with a desktop magnifier so even if I'm submitting work online or just creating a new blog post, I print the material and read it aloud. I've discovered that reading material aloud is different from having my screen reader read it to me.
