Participants: Peter Nelson, Nienwen Chow, Paul Coleman, Kieran Breen, Huntington Potter.
Note: Transcript has been edited for clarity and accuracy.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: We are here - Chow and Coleman.
Peter Nelson: Hi there. I'm Pete Nelson. I guess most people haven't arrived yet. Maybe we could wait a minute or two before intros and discussion begins.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: Fine by us. BTW Pete, we just e-mailed our responses to your comments to June K. She suggested we do it this way, so she could append them to your comments. If you wish to discuss any of the points you raised on-line here, let's do so.
Peter Nelson: Maybe in around two minutes we should start, okay?
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: OK. Questions? Points? Answers?
Peter Nelson: Perhaps we should begin with some introductions. My name is Peter Nelson. I'm an MD/PhD finishing my MD at U.Chicago. I'm interested in AD pathobiology.
Kieran Breen: Hi, I'm Kieran Breen, a lecturer from Dundee in Scotland. Peter Nelson: Hi Dr. Breen. I was very interested in the paper. One question that sprung to mind was if you are going to use this technique to look at gene expression in damaged cells, is it possible that only robust cells will survive the initial cell separation.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: Hi, I'm Nienwen Chow, a Ph.D.. I am working in Paul Coleman's group.
Peter Nelson: I had the same concern. Certainly, there'll be SOME greater frailty in injured cells, by definition.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: A number of questions have now been raised. With regard to the issue of frailty in sick cells, we are not sure what aspect of the procedure you are referring to. There are other methods of picking cells that are more recently available, such as laser capture micro dissection, that may get around your concerns.
Peter Nelson: But the point is, you're comparing cells of different healthfulness, in re: their RNA. Just by being unhealthy, certain RNAs might be degraded artifactually in a way that has not actual bearing on AD.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: There also was a private message about asking about more recent, unpublished results. That's OK too.
Peter Nelson: Well? Have you found anything interesting?
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: Let us first address the issue of cells of different health. Is this not an issue with any method that looks at diseased vs. healthy tissue? We'll wait for an answer to this before going on to more recent results.
Peter Nelson: Well, especially one that so directly and dramatically manipulates the cells before analyzing them for something as fragile as RNA.
Kieran Breen: Of course it is, and it is one of the main problems in this research area. However, a technique such as IHC or ISH looks at the cells as they are, while single cell dissection may enrich for a given sub population, thus giving spurious results. Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: True, that is why we are exploring other methods of cell isolation. However, we would also emphasize that for selected messages we also confirm results by in situ hybridization.
Peter Nelson: Does it pretty much check out, in relation to ISH? Are there discrepancies?
Kieran Breen: Another question - do you think that it would be possible to differentiate between sick and ordinary cells following dissection? Do they maintain any sort of morphological changes (e.g. do tangle-bearing cells still have tangles?).
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: For example, our aRNA data suggested no change of NF-M expression in AD, contrary to what has been previously demonstrated using Northern blotting. The result of no change in AD was confirmed with in situ, and we now suggest that the earlier studies showing decreased NF-M expression were a consequence of decreased numbers of neurons.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: Tangled cells do still have tangles after picking. We emphasize that any cell property that can be revealed by IHC or any other procedure, such as Congo red, etc., that leaves the RNA intact can be applied to this technique.
Peter Nelson: Of course, this last point is of considerable interest....
Kieran Breen: This is good, because even if you enrich slightly for more healthy cells, you will, at the end of the day, be choosing the particular cell in which you are interested and you can confirm the cell by its morphology.
Peter Nelson: ...doesn't mean that it's not changed systematically and artifactually, though, Dr. Breen.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: With regard to more recent results, we do have a manuscript submitted in which we use the aRNA method, and our picking approach to distinguish pyramidal neurons from hippocampus as a function of disease state. Using a multi variate canonical analysis we are able to distinguish brains as to disease state very nicely.
Peter Nelson: Neat! Using the tangle/non-tangle criteria? Or AD vs. PD vs. control, etc.?
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: It was AD vs. control. We put control in parens because although these were clinically control cases ( one lady living at home, paying bills, etc.) on neuropath exam, they were early Braak stages.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: Hi Hunt.
Huntington Potter: Hi. This is my first chat so I will probably listen for awhile.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: Please joins as you see fit.
Peter Nelson: Would it be gauche to ask for a preview of how the AD cases differed from controls in their hippocampal neuron RNAs?
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: Long pause while we consider this.
Huntington Potter: One question is whether you are surprised to see ACT in neurons and if you also checked it in astrocytes.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: First, I would emphasize that the answers one gets depend on the panel of cDNAs used as probes. Given that, we find that the genes that contribute most heavily to the distinction include cyclin D1, an HSP, ACT, wee1.
Kieran Breen: Sorry, have to run. Thanks for the interesting discussion.
Peter Nelson: Cyclin D1 is a very interesting molecule, viz. Esiri's recent work. Peter Nelson: Bye Dr. Breen!
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: Nice to chat with you. Welcome Jhenry.
Peter Nelson: Did you distinguish tangles from non-tangles in your more recent work? Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: Not in what we have submitted. This is ongoing now.
Peter Nelson: Is there anything you'd like to say about that later work?
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: We agree that cyclin D1 is interesting, especially in view of the data of Steve Estus indicating its expression induced by APP. The Eseri work also do tie in here. The question is why is cyclin D1 being expressed.
Peter Nelson: What is the variability, from brain to brain, in how good the neurons are for this technique?
Peter Nelson: Oh, in re: the Esiri work, and the reason for the expression of cyclin D1. Perhaps your technique could be used to find the earliest signs of a diseased state, which causes other things to go haywire secondarily.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: Statistical analysis shows that the % contribution to variability are: 16% due to cell-to-cell, 4.4% brain to brain and 17.6% to disease.
Peter Nelson: ...And all the cells are definitely hippocampal pyramidal neurons of the same Sommer's Sector?
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: Agree with Nelson last comment - that is one of the aims we have. Huntington Potter: I think that I got lost someplace and had to come back in. One further question I have is whether wee 1 is a common mRNA in the brain and whether it is restricted to neurons or glia.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: We believe that our cell sample included both CA1 and subiculum pyramids.. It is of note that end stage AD brains all clustered very tightly.
Peter Nelson: Dear Mssrs. Coleman, Chow, and Potter: it has been an interesting discussion, but I must go to a class. Thanks very much.
Huntington Potter: By the way. Hi Pete. Yes I remember you and your sheep eps.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: With regard to Hunt PotterÕs question, we see wee1 in both AD and control neurons. We have not looked at glia yet.
Peter Nelson: Thanks, Hunt!
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: Good to meet you Peter Nelson.
Peter Nelson: Bye! Thanks!
Huntington Potter: Curious. One thing Carmela and I saw some time ago was that ACT antibodies sometimes stained neuronal cell bodies.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: Well, I guess that our data confirm that.
Huntington Potter: No I am happy good luck with the new exps. over and out.
Nienwen Chow-Paul Coleman: Goodbye.

Political jargon terms often have a short life. Some may remember, but almost no one now uses, terms such as to bork or hanging chad. Gerrymander, however, is one of the more successful political jargon terms of all time, but its survival that is somewhat unfair to its namesake, Elbridge Gerry (1744–1814), a signer of The Declaration of Independence, governor of Massachusetts, and vice president of the United States. To gerrymander is to draw a state's voting districts in such a way as to give political advantage to one's own political party, but Gerry was only tangentially and reluctantly associated with the practice.
Read the rest of the article...frak
"Obscene" words are funny things. Supposedly, a word is classified as obscene because of its meaning, what it represents. But very often the meaning seemingly has nothing to do with it. Frak is a case in point. Frak is a euphemism for that more familiar four-letter word that you can't say on U. S. broadcast television without incurring hefty fines from the Federal Communications Commission. So screenwriters use words like freak, frap, frick, and frig as substitutes for the expletive. But frak goes a bit further and takes on all the valences of its more suspect progenitor. Despite meaning exactly the same thing as fuck, and despite being used in exactly the same manner and context as fuck, frak is okay, while fuck is not.
Read the rest of the article...fond
The modern adjective fond refers to the quality of having affection, liking, or eagerness for someone or something. But this was not always so. In Middle English, fond could mean "insipid, flavorless" or "foolish, stupid." The verb fonnen meant "to be foolish or misguided, to fool or make a fool of someone," and the modern fond comes from the past participle of that verb, fonned.* The word fun comes from the same root, and the modern verb to fondle is derived from the verb fonnen, appearing in the eighteenth century.
Read the rest of the article...flop, flip-flop
In the midst of his 2004 presidential campaign, Senator John Kerry said of his vote on funding for the war in Iraq, "I actually did vote for the $87 billion, before I voted against it." This may be one of the most bald-faced and succinct examples of flip-flopping in American politics, but it is hardly the first. Flip-floppers, or simply floppers, as they were originally known, have been so-called for over a century, but they've been around under other names for a lot longer.
Read the rest of the article...fleabag
A fleabag is a run-down and shabby establishment, especially a hotel or other lodging place, and the word often used adjectivally, as in fleabag hotel. So it's no mystery why fleas are associated with such places. But where does the bag come in?
Read the rest of the article...Video: The Value of Translators
A clever video that makes an economic and social point on the value of work translators do:
flack, flak
Although they sound the same, their spellings differ by only one letter, they are often confused with one another, and they appeared in English at about the same time, flack and flak are very different words, with very different origins.
In the age department, flack edges out its competitor. The word was supposedly coined in Variety, the newspaper of the entertainment industry, but I've been unable to find early citations from this source. The earliest I've found is from the 25 February 1937 Oakland Tribune:
Read the rest of the article...Whereupon Paramount elected to cash in on the publicity and the flack as Variety calls press agents, leaped to his typing machine.
Fantastic comes from the Latin fantasticus or phantasticus via Old French, which in turn is from the Greek φανταστικός (phantastikos). The Greek verb φαντάζειν (phantazein) means to make visible and φαντάζεσθαι (phantazesthai) means to imagine, to have visions. Words like fantasy, phantasm, and fancy come from the same root.
Read the rest of the article...dickens
No, not the famous nineteenth-century writer. This is the slang term, as in the exclamation what the dickens. Dickens is a euphemism for devil. The earliest citation in the Oxford English Dictionary is from the 1599 play King Edward IV, Part 1, commonly attributed to Thomas Heywood:
Read the rest of the article...What the dickens is loue that makes ye prate to me so fondly.

It was not the game most envisioned after Richmond Hill got their season off to a fast 7-1 start. That tempo has now been slowed with four Wildcat losses in a row, the latest two coming in a five inning, 10-0, region 3-AAA opening loss to South Effingham and then a 9-0 loss to the Effingham County Rebels on Saturday.
The BCHS Redskins traveled to Portal for a game against region opponent the Portal Panthers where they faced a devastating loss.
The Bryan County High School Redskins Baseball team needed a boost after their disappointing loss against non-region opponent Southeast Bulloch and they got just that March 9. With a full team back in action, the Redskins scored a 5-3 non-region home game victory against Tattnall County.
The BCHS Redskin baseball team beat Savannah Country Day 4-3 which included a no-hitter and nine strike-outs from pitcher Wesley Wilkes.
A few days after their defense helped squeak them past a tough 4-3 test with Savannah Christian, the Wildcat defense, which has been sterling so far this season, finally showed a chink in its armor.
Two incredibly frustrating losses were suffered by both the boys and girls RHHS soccer teams in region play on Tuesday. The boys lost 2-1 to BC in overtime, and the girls lost 2-1 to St. Vincent's in double overtime.
The RHHS boys and girls tennis raised their levels of play to defeat a stubborn Claxton team on Thursday. The girls managed a 5-0 shutout and the boys squeaked by with a 3-2 win.
Retribution was delivered to both the boys and girls RHHS soccer teams on Tuesday. Last week, they both suffered frustratingly narrow losses to rival teams, but both came back this week with victories with the girls beating St. Vincent's and the boys beating BC.
For five complete innings on Tuesday, Richmond Hill's Scott Strickland flirted with a no-hitter against Richmond Hill's old nemesis Savannah Christian, but for five innings his teammates failed to provide him with any run support. It would take a rally in the final two innings to give the Wildcats and Strickland the 4-3 well deserved victory.
The BCHS boys and girls track teams had a meet on Wednesday against Southeast Bulloch and Tattnall County. Although both teams came in third, there were some strong individual performances.
The RHHS Wildcat Tennis Teams divided bragging rights in a non-region match on March 13. AAAAA School Glynn Academy was edged out by the boys team but defeated the girls. On Monday, Coach Pat Paruso tried an alternate line-up which had mixed results for their competition with Statesboro.
This past Thursday, the BCHS tennis teams split with Claxton High School at a competition in Claxton when the boys lost 3-2 and the girls won 5-0. On Monday at home, the BCHS boys won 5-0 and the girls won 3-2 in matches against Jenkins County.
Richmond Hill baseball has shined brightly for most of this early season. Except for a few innings of unexplainable, inexplicable, and now add to the adjectives "bizarre", failings that have led to all three of their losses - the Wildcats could have easily been undefeated. The most recent a 4-3 loss at Bradwell, a team they beat handily less than two weeks earlier, had performed the latest voodoo via the bunt in the fourth inning ...

ATC SEM-2 Spectrometer To Be Launched On The MetOp-B Satellite
CARLISLE, MA -- June 7, 2012 -- The Meteorological Operation-B (MetOp-B) Polar Orbiting Satellite is being readied for launch within the year, and will be used to monitor Earth and Space weather, and improve weather forecasts. MetOp-B includes the SEM-2 Spectrometer developed by ATC and Amptek, Inc., which will measure electron and proton fluxes with a range of 50eV-140MeV. SEM-2 consists of three components. The Total Energy Detector (TED), at 9.9lbs/1.1W, measures the intensity in selected energy bands from 50eV to 20KeV. The Medium Energy Proton Electron Detector (MEPED), at 18.3 lbs/3.7 W, measures protons, electrons, and ions from 30KeV to >140MeV. The Data Processing Unit (DPU) controls the TED and MEPED, and provides the satellite interface. SEM-2 will contribute to solar terrestrial energy knowledge by enabling MetOp-B to measure the intensity of the Earth's radiation belts, and the flux of charged particles at the satellite's altitude.
ATC Receives 2011 Boeing Performance Excellence Award
CARLISLE, MA -- May 29, 2012 -- Assurance Technology Corporation was presented with the Boeing 2011 Performance Excellence Award today for its contributions to the Boeing software defined radio (SDR) waveform and infrastructure software and firmware developments for the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Program, specifically for Its Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) Waveform and Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW) developments. The Boeing Company issues the award annually to recognize suppliers who have achieved superior performance. This is the second such award received by ATC.
"We are honored to be selected for the second year by Boeing for this award," commented Larue Renfroe founder and president of ATC.
ATC Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor Experiment (CEASE) Instrument Launched On TacSat-4
CARLISLE, MA -- October 4, 2011 -- The Tactical Satellite-4 (TacSat-4), launched September, 27th 2011, includes the CEASE Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor Experiment (CEASE) Instrument developed by Assurance Technology Corporation and Amptek, Incorporated. This lightweight, low power (1kg- 1.5 Watt) Space Instrument measures the satellite space radiation environment, also known as space weather. Its objectives are to provide awareness of the ambient space radiation, and to provide warning of space-environmental conditions likely to cause anomalous satellite operations. As an example, CEASE will enable TacSat-4 to sample the high energy electron population fluxes in its High Elliptical Orbit (HEO) environment during electron events. CEASE II As Flown On TacSat-4

very comfortable, the casters turn very easily and seems to glide in my shop. Great purchase.

I originally had the 36" creeper, but with me being 6'5" it just want long enough. This 40" creeper is great and has more padding and seems more sturdy. Good buy.

I use this creeper several times a month. It replaced a vintage wooden sparkomatic from the 70's...I consider this to be an upgrade. The only issue I had, and this echoes several other reviews, are the plastic end caps falling off. A dab of super glue on the inside of each of them has solved this problem. Rolls nice on the garage floor, and the bent frame is appreciated for someone like me that is 6'2" with long arms. I hope to be using this for many years to come!

Previous reviews are correct about the black plastic end caps. They keep popping out every time you moved. I think I will use some strong epoxy to stop that from happening again.

The Craftsman 40 in creeper is a great mid-priced creeper. It has a low-profile metal frame, easy to clean vinyl, comfortable to use under the car and rolls easily. This 40 in creeper offers a great value to me because the lower end models at Sears are not as low-profile and upper end models have adjustable seat backs that are nice but not important for me.

this creeper is low to the ground and yet very durable. the comfort of the pading is very relaxing. the wheels roll extreemly smooth, almost like you are floating. i would recomend this creeper over other much more expensive creepers. this is by far the best bang for your buck.

It wasn't so much the product itself, but the great service from the staff that waited on me. I had stocppoed by the Sears store to pick up a creeper that was on sale, but after looking at how better this one was built, I opted to purchase this one instead. I was waiting in a fairly long line, since it was Christmas shopping season, when one of the clerks came over to me ask to follow him. He had seen that I wasn't in the best of health and wasn't doing the best carrying the creeper around. He took me over to a side regester and checked me out, so I wouldn't have to wait in the line. After I paid for my purchase and took it out to my vehicle, I returned to the store to pick up a few more items, when this same clerk saw me returning in the doors, he came right over to make sure I wasn't having a problem, since while checking out he was concerned to enough to make sure I was alright and I had informed him I recently had been released from having some surgery. He told me if I did end up having any problems, to find him and he'd help me out. The fact that the Craftmans tools I buy have a liftime replacement is a nice bonus, but the servive from employees like this is priceless feature

The Oakroom
Online Reservations
Outstanding dinning experience! Troy our server was delightful and sommelier knows her stuff! Her recommendations were spot on. Enjoyed every bite of our meals and every sip of wine!
Wait staff amazing, food awesome, little steep pricewise, not a large election, but what was served was excellent - Thank you
The Oakroom has 5 diamonds for a reason. EVERYTHING was done properly for relaxing fine dining. Good sized square or round tables. Tables were spaced properly. Large, upholstered, comfortable chairs. Proper linen tablecloths and napkins. Cutlery replaced for each course. Friendly and attentive staff. The new chef has only been on staff for 5 -6 months. HE PLATES ALL THE FOOD AND HAS FABULOUS ATTENTION TO DETAIL.There are 6 appetizers, 6 entrees and 6 desserts. We tried the lobster bisque, tiger prawns and mushroom grits and green goddess salad. All Excellent. We tried the oakroom pork, the beef filet and the halibut. All excellent. Loved the complimentary bread and special butters, the sorbet, asparagus soup shots and the bourbon balls.
We were celebrating our 33 anniversary and our dinning experience at the Oak Room helped make it a very special occasion.
The Oak Room is a very good choice for dinner. Attentive , knowledgeable, and polite staff, good menu options, very good food, and a great wine list. Peaceful atmosphere in a lovely building.
Loved the Brunch! Jamal our server was the best. He has worked there for 27 years and was friendly, attentive, a great asset to the restaurant. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes,, chive oil and Gruyere Cheese to die for. Roasted Brussels Sprouts. Mimosa's. Celebrating my birthday, though it was not known to the restaurant, and felt like I was treated like a VIP. Live in Indianapolis, would definitely return, worth a road trip. Not your typical brunch, stated changes weekly, the staff at the buffet station very friendly and professional, the food, was fresh, not overcooked, stations were neat and clean, outstanding in all aspects. A+
This is a ture 5 start experience! I could not believe the wine list. I found out that they have 4 wine rooms with different wines. The food was outstanding. When it came to service it was exceptional. I have nerver had so much attention. AAA is right on when they give it a 5 star rating.
We had an amazing ten year anniversary celebration. Our waiter Jamal was attentive, knowledgeable, and accomodating. Our appetizer, entree, dessert, and drink choices were divine. I ordered the shrimp and citrus grits.... Heavenly!!! We each had the bacon wrapped loin, and each bite was amazing. For dessert, my husband asked for creme brulee and Jamal arranged to have some brought up from the hotel as the restaurant did not have any on the menu. Talk about going the extra mile!! With our check we got bourbon balls and enormous wrapped chocolate chip cookies! What a nice touch. As we left, the host offered to take our picture to capture our memory. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a five star experience!
The service and food @ The Oakroom are excellent. I only have a few complaints...the restaurant only was serving 5 tables while we were there, but all the tables were next to each other. So we could hear all the conversations of the room. Also the captain suggested the cobbler to all the tables around us, but since we ordered the 5 course meal they brought us a different ....the desert was very good but I really wanted to try the cobbler after hearing how good it was.....overall a great place for a special meal with friends or family
We went for brunch early and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Being among the first there, we had a chance to explore this grand old hotel, which was fun, in of itself, and learn a little of its history and Great Gatsby connection. The food itself was outstanding and very well prepared. Frankly, I haven't been to a brunch with this quality of food and service since we lived in Chicago. I would agree with other comments that people seem to take advantage of the "casual" dress code. I take casual at a 5 star restaurant means I don't have to wear a tie. Others take it to mean shorts, torn tee shirts, and flip flops, which is unfortunate but didn't ruin our experience by any means. Our compliments to the chefs and staff.
Fantastic upscale dining in Louisville. Excellent menu with interesting combinations. We had a Green Goddess salad and the tiger prawn appetizer, followed by pork loin entree and the chicken and dumplings. Pork loin was excellent chicken was good but a little too much sauce. Our servers (Troy and Amy) were personable , professional, and prompt. You could not ask for more Definitely a must do in Louisville
We had taken our parents here for their 60th anniversary and decided to do a repeat for their 65th. A few family members, who were here for the 60th, came from out of town for the surprise. The entire party enjoyed everything about the experience again, five years later. We went for the outstanding Sunday brunch. It is definitely a great place for a special occasion. The setting is elegant. The food is well-presented, ample and delicious.
An excellent brunch with great service and atmosphere. A good variety of food items very well presented, Will go there again when in Louisville.
Elegant atmosphere with a very personable staff and delicious foods with a variety for all.
Superb dining experience. Expensive but worth the price for a special dining evening.
The bar, bartenders, and waiters were awesome. Food was good, but not great. Have been back to the bar, but will not eat at the Oakroom again. There are many much better restaurants in town.
Perfect for a quiet, romantic evening. The wait staff was very attentive. The food was excellent as was the presentation.
We throughly enjoyed a quiet evening with three of the best wait staff ever. They were never intrusive, but always attentive and made sure every need was met.
Sunday brunch was outstanding as usual. Great selection of entrees and the desserts are the best ever.
THE OAK ROOM is the most elegant dining room in Louisville and the food is near perfect. Five course tasting menu was lovely. Lobster bisque with amontillado sherry, so many waiters we all got served simultaneously every course. Green goddess salad with fresh hearts of palm, with a bright white wine; best cioppino, with parsnip, a pork cheek --wow--on puree of peppers, with rose'. A morsel of beef with classic demi-glace --very Escoffier- with blend of cabs and merlot, a chocolate confection that looked like fairies must have made it.
My wife travels a great deal for her job and, coincidentally, over the time of our anniversaries. This has meant that we have enjoyed our anniversary dinner in a number of places, including San Francisco, Cape Cod, Chicago, Minneapolis, DC, and Louisville. So, we are accustomed to a really fine dining experience, that is quite romantic. The Oak Room did not disappoint, in any way, shape, or form. It was wonderful, and we laud our waiter, the chef, and the pasty chef for the fabulous experience. It made our 30th wedding anniversary, appropriately memorable.
It is hidden gem inside the hotel. The whole experience was fantastic despite the diner next to us who was alone, using his ipad and making cell phone calls during dinner. SERIOUSLY!! The service was impeccable and the food exquisite. We even went back for their Sunday brunch right before leaving for the airport. Good thing because I would have pigged out ! If memory serves me right, our server's name was Jamal. He was perfectly attentive & flawless !
Oakroom has one of the most extensive wine and bourbon lists of any restaurants I have been to in Louisville. The servers are extremely knowledgeable and patient. We got multiple compliments from the chef and everything we had was wonderful. It was my wife's birthday - had the yellow tuna for appetizers, three little pigs and the beef combo for entrees. All of which were fantastic.
To be honest, the food was fantastic. The service was top notch. However, the dining room was pretty much empty, which made for sort of a somber, sad experience. I believe the restaurant could expand its menu and its wine list, including offering more reasonable wines for under 100 dollars and less of a mark up, but other than that there is a lot to offer. Incredibly beautiful surroundings. Well trained attentive staff. Very good food at a fair price for a top restaurant. I mean there is a lot to recommend about the Oakroom. I wish I knew how they could attract more diners.
Phenomenal service, fantastic food and great atmosphere.
Everything about our 25th Anniversary celebration dinner was exceptional. Food was delectable. Service impeccable and ambience was perfect. Everyone went out of their way to make our dinner evening memorable...from rose petals on the table to the chef and staff signed menu to the customized desserts. Jamal and Jordon were perfect servers and made sure everything was to our liking but not intrusive throughout the night. We took pictures of our entrees since they were so beautiful. Their artistic beauty matched their amazing flavors. We loved going through the extensive wine list. By far a highlight of our dining experiences in 2013. Would highly recommend The Oakroom for anyone wanting a memorable dining experience. Bravo!!!!
I took my boyfriend to the Oakroom for his 25th birthday and it was absolutely more than expected! We got the 5 course sampler. It was MORE than enough food. We both walked away stuffed. The food was divine, from taste to how to was displayed. Every dish was mouthwatering and perfectly portioned. The service was out of this world. We never wanted for anything. The ambience was beautiful and quiet and intimate. Absolutely go!
We went for Sunday brunch which was out of this world. Setting is great, dark wood, fancy carvings, nicely spaced tables. Brunch had a huge selection of foods, each tasting great. The grits with gruyere cheese and truffle oil-outstanding. The dessert selection was unreal. Plenty of options including fruit, chocolate, bread pudding, cakes, pies. In my younger days I probably would have skipped the main courses & gone straight to dessert! Firm shrimp, oysters, salads, cheeses, eggs, pork loin, beef. Server was attentive but not intrusive. Mimosa was included but we had to ask. Can't wait to go back to that state &have dinner at the Oakroom. Based on brunch experience it would have to be exquisite. Too bad we live so far away!
As always we enjoy coming to the Oakroom. And we don't need a special occasion. Our first visit was 28 years ago and it gets better every time. Keep up the good work. We love it!
Went to the Oakroom for our anniversary. Every element, from a PERFECTLY made Old Fashioned from the bar, to our rose pedal covered table, to our attentive waitress and several compliments of the chef appetizers was perfect. Dinner entrees (Three little Pigs and halibut) were excellent. We have eaten at some of the finest restaurants in the country, from New York City to San Francisco and the Oakroom ranks among the best.
It was exactly what we wanted. Everything and everybody were first class. Our first time there, fit into a special date of an elderly widow and widower. Jess Quigley
Everything about the Oak Room was as advertised. The only thing that could have been better for us would have been a slightly larger selection or being able to pick my side items separate from my entree. It just seemed like there was something on every entre that I was not fond of or did not want to try. We both went for the pork though and enjoyed it.
It is the best place for Brunch in Louisville ....
Lives up to its reputation "of fine dining". Courtesy and helpfulness of staff and a high quality of food
the food was delicious. the service was amazing except for the bartender. he made me a cosmopolitan that tasted real sour from to much lime.so when I took it back to him and said there was a problem. instead of remaking it, he just dumped what appeared to be simple syrup in it. so then I had a way to sticky sugary sour mess! not what I would have expected from the Oakroom! sept 26 7:00
The entire evening was simply delightful. The staff was very attentive and the food was amazing. I highly recommend the lobster bisque and the 3 Little Berkshire Pigs.
Brunch at the Oakroom should not be missed. The selection is varied and everything was well prepared and tasted great. The dining area is very old school, comfortable, and not loud. The dessert selection was over the top! We had three children with our party of 8 and they had a great time and found plenty to eat.
The restaurant was very clean and the food was delicious. I especially loved the shrimp and grits. The staff were very attentive and there were rosepetals on our table when we arrived. The atmosphere was very inviting and not at all intimidating. I will definitely go back.
The Oakroom sets an outstanding brunch. Breakfast and lunch entrees are extensive, attractive and tasty. They provide cold entrees and salads as well as flavor-able fruits. The dessert are out of this world, ranging from large cookies to elegant cheese cakes. Their signature bread pudding is the best ever. We dine there just about every time we go through or visit Louisville.
The restaraunt is located in a restored 1905 grand hotel. A wonderful dining experience!
Not just a meal but a true dining experience. We will definitely go back. The food was excellent, a virtual explosion of flavors in an orderly parade, the service was over the top and the interior made you feel as if you were on top of the world.
My husband and two children took me to brunch at The Oakroom for my birthday. It was fabulous! An entire room filled with delicious food. There was everything from perfectly cooked beef tenderloin to the most amazing tiramisu and chocolate torte. The service was as impressive as the food. I can't wait to go back.
The evening at the Oakroom was very enjoyable and the staff were very knowledgeable.
Outstanding service. Interesting and divine food and drink.
My husband and I were celebrating our 16th anniversary at the Oakroom, which is where we dined on the night we married. Having been shell-shocked from the wedding in 1997, I don't remember much of our first Oakroom meal, but our return there was amazing. The service staff was pleasant, helpful and attuned to our needs. The food was OUTSTANDING!! I love the Seelbach for its history and beauty, so the setting alone is worth every penny.
The Oak Room provides a sophisticated dining experience with the special touches you can only find in traditional "old school" fine dining. The little touches of a muse before the appetizer, the palate cleanser between courses, the chair being pulled back for you and all the other flawless touches that make a meal an experience. Then comes the food! Amazing! Have had 2 special events in the past 6 months and both have been held there. First as a novelty the second time by choice. You won't be disappointed.
Great atmosphere with fine quality of cusine. Right down to the wonderfull borbon balls! As we have done the brunch several times in the last couple of years, we like having the food in the same area as the tables. Also, we missed having the "necktor" drinks of somekind as we had before. But, nice unexpected touch was the free mimosa. Will still continue coming back as it is a great dinning experience.
Food is 5 star. A little adventurous for us, but good. The shrimp with grits appetizer and steak main course were outstanding. Very nice presentation and very nice ambience. Service was 5 star as far as knowing protocols and professionalism. They were understaffed for servers that night, so we suffered for that. We had almost a 30 minute wait to get our check after finishing dessert, but they apologized. Cookies when we left were really good.
We arrived at the Oakroom with a specific meal in mind! I recently saw on "Chefs of Louisville" a story on a new menu item called the Three Little Berkshire Pigs. The pork was EXCELLENT! What a meal! You've got to try it!!!!! Go to the Sealback soon!! Service was excellent as always!
The weather outside was horrible but the Restaurant was outstanding!!!! Service was top notch!! Hostess was incredible!! Just a wonderful experience!!!

Get Toned at Every Age
Getting in shape will be a lot more manageable when you have a focus, so set a realistic fitness goal for yourself. Need a little help getting ready for bikini season? Here are the body parts you should focus on and the killer moves to get them in shape.
By Ariana Finlayson
20s: Focus on Your Core
"A toned core will help your body age well in the decades to come, so it's crucial to build a strong one early on," says Valerie Orsoni, founder of LeBootCamp.com. "Also," adds Geralyn Coopersmith, senior national manager at Equinox Fitness Training Institute, "developing a fit core early in life sets you up for amazing posture and a pain-free lower back."
Next: The killer move for your core
20s: Killer Move: The Plank
Goal: To condition your entire core
Frequency: Four times a week
- Get into a push-up position with your forearms on the floor.
- Lift your legs and torso up off the ground so that only your toes and the flats of your forearms remain on the floor.
- Keeping your back neutral and your belly button pulled in, hold this position for 20-60 seconds.
- Repeat for 3-5 sets.
Next: Butterfly abs exercise
20s: Killer Move: Butterfly Abs
Goal: To work your deep abs while getting a flat, sexy stomach
Frequency: Four times a week
- Sit comfortably on a gym mat or carpet with your legs crossed. Using your arms to support you, slowly lie back until your body is flat, keeping your legs crossed.
- Place your hands under the nape of your neck for support. Inhale through your nose, and raise your chest a few inches off the floor while exhaling through your mouth. Your chest should be moving up toward the ceiling, not bending forward to your knees. This should be a smooth, controlled motion.
- Repeat 25 times, and as you progress, move up to 50 times.
- Tip: Do not push your head with your hands as this puts you at risk of injuring your neck. The purpose of your hands is to keep your head in alignment with your back and shoulders. You don't want to curve your back.
Next: The body part to tone in your 30s
30s: Focus on Your Buttocks/Glutes
"Since women in their 30s tend to spend more time at a desk than at the gym, this sedentary lifestyle starts to show," says Orsoni. "The glutes are the biggest and most powerful muscle in the body," says Coopersmith. "Working on this part now and keeping it going will keep your body looking young and sexy as you move on through the decades.
Next: The killer move to tone your glutes
30s: Killer Move: The Bridge
Goal: To get a firm, toned butt
Frequency: Four times a week
- Using a gym mat or a towel, lie down on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
- Rest your arms on the ground parallel to your body, with your palms facing down.
- Keeping your upper back and your feet firmly on the mat, use your hands to support your body and raise your glutes up toward the ceiling as high as you can while contracting (squeezing) your glutes.
- Release the contraction and lower your glutes almost to the floor, being careful not to touch the mat. Then, immediately raise your glutes again while contracting the muscles.
- Continue to contract and release for about 12-15 reps. On your last repetition, hold the contraction for about 10 seconds.
- Repeat 2-3 times daily.
Next: The body part to tone in your 40s
40s: Focus on Your Arms
Next: The killer move to tone your arms
40s: Killer Move: Kneeling Push-up
Goal: To tone your arms while engaging your core (an extra calorie-burner)
Frequency: Five times a week
- Assume a push-up position, but bend your knees, placing them on the floor. You should use a folded towel or mat under your knees for support.
- Place your hands in line with your shoulders on either side of your torso.
- Make sure your fingertips face forward.
- Cross your ankles as you lean forward.
- Lower your chest until you are about 3 inches off the floor and press back up to the starting position.
- Do 12 repetitions for 1-3 sets.
Next: Alternate, beginner push-up
40s: Killer Move: Wall Push-up
- Stand an arm's length away from the wall.
- Place your palms on the wall and bend at the elbows to do 20 standing push-ups.
- Push your body back from the wall harder each time, moving slowly and maintaining control.
- Increase the intensity by using one arm at a time, or lifting your fingers away from the wall.
Next: Alternate, advanced push-up
40s: Killer Move: The Push-up
Work up to doing "real" push-ups: entire body in plank position, knees locked and off the floor, supporting yourself on your toes.
Even if you can only do one or two at first, eventually you'll be able to do them exclusively on your toes.
Next: What to focus on in your 50s
50s: Overall Flexibility
"In your 50s, assuming you have worked on all of the above-mentioned areas, you need to preserve your overall flexibility to help keep your joints healthy and strong," says Orsoni.
Next: 7-step flexibility routine
50s: Killer Move: Morning Wake-Up Call, Step 1
Goal: To unwind after a stressful day and improve overall flexibility
Frequency: Every morning or night
Set a relaxing mood by secluding yourself in a quiet room and lighting a refreshing lavender or vanilla candle. Use a yoga mat for traction, or a towel.
- Start out in a tabletop pose with your knees bent and hands flat on the floor, keeping your back as flat as a table, eyes forward.
- Curve your back slightly up toward the ceiling into the yoga pose known as cat pose.
- Continue to try to press your chin toward your chest (as if you were trying to hold on to a golf ball with your chin and neck), being careful not to stretch your neck too much.
- Breathe slowly, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth (not the opposite).
Next: Upper back and spine stretch, continued
50s: Morning Wake-Up Call, Step 2
- Stay on all fours, and curve your back in toward the floor, also known as cow position. Breathe slowly, keeping your airway open.
- Raise your head and tailbone toward the ceiling, continuing to curve your back and pull your stomach in toward your spine.
- Switch from cow to cat position approximately five times.
Next: Shoulders and hamstrings stretch
50s: Morning Wake-Up Call, Step 3
Shoulders and Hamstrings
- On your last cat position, curl your toes under and straighten your legs up into the yoga pose called downward-facing dog.
- You should be pushing your buttocks toward the ceiling, keeping your hands and toes on the mat.
- Keep your head down and push back on your arms.
- Keep this position for five breaths. Then move back into your starting position, on all fours.
Next: Lower back stretch
50s: Morning Wake-Up Call, Step 4
Lower Back and Hip Flexors
- Kneel down with your butt sitting on top of your heels.
- Lean forward with your arms stretched out in front of you, resting your chest on your knees, your forehead toward the ground. This is called child's pose.
- Relax and breathe slowly, continuing to reach your hands out toward the wall in front of you while pushing your buttocks toward the floor.
Next: Arm stretch
50s: Morning Wake-Up Call, Step 5
Arm Circles
- Rise, remaining on your knees with your butt on your heel and your back straight.
- Make wide circles with your arms — first forward arm rotations, then backward.
- For forward arm rotations, keep your elbows locked and move your arms out in front of you, down toward the floor, back behind you, then up toward the ceiling, and finally back by your knees.
- For back arm rotations, keep your elbows locked and move your arms out in front of you, up toward your head, down your back, and then back by your knees.
Next: Upper back stretch
50s: Morning Wake-Up Call, Step 6
- On the last circle backward, go as far back as you can and place your arms behind your back with your palms flat on the floor, fingertips facing toward the wall behind you.
- Gently arch your back to get a little more stretch while looking up toward the ceiling.
- Don't force it: too arched is not good.
Next: Arms and obliques stretch
50s: Morning Wake-Up Call, Step 7
Arms and Obliques
- Return to sitting on your knees and stretch both your arms toward the sky (with your fingers interlaced and palms turned upward).
- Take your right hand out of locked position, while keeping your left arm raised, and place your right hand toward the floor so only your fingertips touch.
- Now stretch your left arm upward, paying attention to the stretch in your back and side.
- Repeat the same on the other side.

Intel reportedly wants $500M for delayed streaming TV effort
Intel may have given up on developing its own Web TV service, but that doesn't mean it is going to give it away.
The chip giant is asking about $500 million for the delayed service, according to a Bloomberg report that cites unidentified sources with knowledge of the process. Intel is reportedly looking to wrap up the sale before the end of the year.
Earlier this year, Intel announced its plans to launch hardware and software that allow for live TV, on-demand TV, and content streaming. The subscription service, dubbed OnCue, was to deliver programming over a broadband Internet … Read more
