I got this to break loose lug nuts on my car, which are ~90ft/lbs. This tool won?t break them loose even with a full charge on the battery. I will have to use it for small jobs since it doesn't work like it should. Hard to believe a ? impact cant loosen a lug nut!

Long story short, batteries are pathetic and craftsman doesn't stand behind their products. Lesson learned. To be fair, when it worked, it did an acceptable job of removing lug nuts when rotating the tires although it's nowhere near the 200ft/lbs it's rated at. I used it twice to rotate the tires on my truck and fiance's car. Batteries won't hold a charge anymore. It has a 1 year warranty but craftsman doesn't stand behind their products like I thought they did. When I was told at the counter that batteries in kits are only covered for 60 days I was a little frustrated. What made it worse was when the sales guy told me I could buy the EXACT SAME batteries separately and they come with a 1 year warranty when not purchased as part of a kit. Well isn't that nice. So does that mean craftsman knows they're putting inferior batteries in the kit? I don't know but either way, craftsman just lost a lifelong customer. Shame on you craftsman.

Wrench feels sturdy and powerful, and is when you pull the trigger. The built in light is a nice bonus feature and the batteries charge from about nothing right out of the box to full charge in about an hour. Very nice.

gave to my son as a early christmas present - it worked great - he put the snow tires on his car and had no issues what so ever - very happy

Mine works pretty good. So far, used it to rebuild a front end on my Saturn SL2, including 8 lug nuts at 100ft/lbs, 2 axle nuts at 147 ft/lbs, 4 brake bracket blots at 90 ft/lbs, 4 control arm bolts at 120, and many smaller ones, all on a single charge of a large li-ion XCP battery. When I was done, the battery was still on yellow. I did try it with ni-cad battery, it did take off 100 ft/lbs, but may be a bit slower then li-ion, not quite sure. The driver is much lighter than Dewalt 300ft/lbs monster and is much easier to operate. It is quite loud though.

Great impact. I did a full brake job and rotated tires on two other vehicles on a single charge. Then I charged it up and put it in storage compartment of our SUV for the road. Sure beats a tire iron.

on one batt chg, removed all 8 lug nuts, 140ft-lbs, axle nut 177 ft-lbs, front shock bolt, all 4 wh bearing bolts 135ft-lbs, brake caliber bolts 225ft-lbs, and installed all 8 lug nuts on tire and still have power left in batt. also use it to removed the 6 bolts on the cvs axle flange. I was pleased.

Now I can work on my car without a compressor!
Edmond, OK
I am restoring a truck and I have all the air tools that I need, but when I'm out in the field pulling parts or even just putting another bolt in somewhere and I don't want to fill my compressor up this impact is the BEST by far to have. I do not know why this wasn't the first thing I bought when I started. It's lightweight and incredibly powerful. One of my most used tools now!

Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is asking people in the province to conserve electricity and turn off their Christmas lights, due to cold weather and power shortage.
Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro logo
Newfoundland Power is tweeting that they are addressing customers that haven't had power for more than an hour. They are calling such customers their highest priority. Another recent tweet says the system is still experiencing heavy loads and they will continue rolling outages for shorter periods of time until sometime after midnight.
Newfoundland Power is asking people to please conserve power where possible and says the most effective way to do so is to turn down thermostats by 2-5 degrees and to avoid avoid using dishwashers and washers/dryers.
Earlier story: Rolling blackouts begin in midst of winter cold snap
By Ashley Fitzpatrick
The Telegram
The demand for power on the island of Newfoundland is exceeding the available power supply, leading Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro and Newfoundland Power calling for energy conservation across the board and dealing with rolling blackouts.
"Those power outages are expected to last anywhere from a half-hour to an hour and then we'll rotate to the next group of customers based on what the demand on the system is," said Michelle Coughlin, spokeswoman for Newfoundland Power, shortly after 4:30 p.m.
The blackouts are necessary as demand is currently exceeding power supply as a result of troubles with a generating unit at Holyrood and two back-up turbines down for maintenance.
"What we're doing is of course listing the areas affected (by blackout) on our website as well as through social media, so people will be aware of who is being impacted at any particular point in time."
The rotating outages are expected to continue through to about 8 p.m. this evening — the time when peak evening power demand usually ends.
They will last longer if necessary, Coughlin said, noting all of Newfoundland Power's own generation is also currently maxed out.
The rolling blackout process will come into play again at the peak demand period tomorrow morning if and as required.
"We continue to ask people to conserve energy where possible ... turning off Christmas lights, not washing laundry or dishes during that peak time, not using clothes dryers and if possible to reduce the temperatures in their homes by a degree or two if possible," Coughlin said.
Hospitals and other healthcare facilities have back-up generation available, but will be prioritized for power as per Newfoundland Power contingency planning, she said.
Earlier story
Nalcor asking customers to conserve electricity amid cold snap
"We are asking customers to assist us by reducing, where they can, their electricity usage during peak times," said Dawn Dalley, Vice President Corporate Relations, Nalcor Energy.
Due to very cold temperatures across the province, people using electric heat are drawing extra electricity and that's placing a heavy load on the system.
NL Hydro said that, especially in the mornings and evenings — from 7-10 a.m. and 4-8 p.m. — demand for power is peaking today and tomorrow.
To reduce usage, Hydro is asking people to reduce heat by a few degrees if you use electric heat; conserve hot water by not running dishwashers, washing machines and showers; avoid using clothes dryers and turn off Christmas lights.

Police Chief Mark Fronterotta told KABC-TV that a SWAT team set up a perimeter and was using dogs to search for the attacker, who may have lived in a rear house on the property. Investigators were trying to determine whether the suspect fled or remained in the house as it burned.
Fronterotta said the man wore a painter's mask, apparently to shield his identity.
Television footage showed a home gutted by flames and a plume of smoke rising over the residential neighborhood early Saturday.
Detectives determined the suspect set the house ablaze before opening fire with a weapon, Fronterotta said. Earlier the chief said the blaze was started after the gun attack.
Five neighboring houses were evacuated. Other nearby residents were told to remain inside with their doors locked. The suspect was described as armed and dangerous.
A 6-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl were in critical condition, Fronterotta said. The woman, said to be the children's mother, was being treated for gunshot wounds to the knee and pelvis. An 8-year-old boy was uninjured.
The father was shielding two of his children when he was shot, the chief said. After being shot, the mother carried the wounded 4-year-old to a neighbor's yard. The boy later died.
Police have no motive.

Measurement invariance with multigroups
Mplus Discussion
Confirmatory Factor Analysis
posted on Thursday, March 07, 2013 - 7:47 am
I've been reading your online notes on multiple group analysis with categorical outcomes. After the configural invariance step you suggest going straight to a model where intercepts and slopes etc are constrained across groups and the factor means are freed. This is different from the continuous case where one might examine the factor loadings first and then add in the intercepts in two separate steps, and I was wondering why this would be.

This difference between the continuous item case and the categorical items case is due to having less information with categorical items. With binary items there is an identification issue that prevents testing of loading invariance only (metric invariance), at least when allowing group-varying residual variances. So therefore we recommend going straight from configural to scalar invariance. With polytomous items it is possible to identify and analyze the metric model. But even so, it is not as straightforward as with continuous items. Roger Millsap has written on the polytomous case; see for instance his book Statistical Approaches to Measurement Invariance.

Thank you, that is extremely helpful. There's a variety of estimators that I can use in Mplus when fitting these models-my outcomes are binary. I recall being told once that ML is associated with the Differential Item Functioning/Item Response Theory approach, and WLSMV is associated with the CFA approach. Is that correct?

No, that is not correct. IRT and CFA with categorical indicators are the same model. You can use either ML or WLSMV as estimators when you have categorical variables and factors. With ML, each factor requires one dimension of integration and each residual correlation also requires one dimension of integration so ML can become computationally heavy with several factors. In this case, WLSMV is preferred. Both ML and WLSMV are good for IRT as is Bayes.

I'm trying to use the steps you outline for testing measurement invariance across multiple groups with categorical outcomes, within a MACS framework. Having having obtained my baseline models for each group, I have fit the configural model for each group as eg.
f1 by a* b c d e;
[a$1 b$1 c$1 d$1 e$1];
According to your outline, would the next equivalent step be a model in which the loadings and intercepts are constrained the same across groups, with the means still fixed at zero in each group, factor variances at 0 in each group, and scale factors fixed at 1 in the first group and freely estimated in the other groups? I can estimate this model (it isn't a great fit), but end up having to examine MI for factor means and slopes/thresholds simultaneously, something I would prefer not to do. I also wondered about using difftest to compare models in the invariance sequence, as when the scale factors are freely estimated I end up with more parameters in a simpler (ie loadings constrained) model than the more complex model (loadings unconstrained but scale factors fixed)?
Any pointers you can offer will be much appreciated as always!

Please see page 485 of the user's guide and the Topic 2 course handout on the website where the inputs are given under multiple group analysis. Factor variance should not be fixed to zero. If you continue to have problems, send the output and your license number to

I was wondering whether it makes sense to test for residual variance invariance (as can be done in CFAs with continuous observed variables), once scalar invariance has been established in a multigroup CFA with categorical data using the Theta parameterization. Thus, after scalar invariance has been found (following the procedure as depicted on page 486 of the MPlus manual), would it make sense to estimate a third model in which the residual variances are again fixed to be one in all groups, and comparing this model to model #2 described on the top of page 486.
Looking forward to your answer.

"There is always some new tidbit," Mark Halperin said. "You just have to ferret it out." It was the first day of the Republican Convention, in New York, and although the sun had not yet risen, he had already laid out all he needed for his peculiar trade—three television monitors, a laptop, a BlackBerry, a cell phone, a pager—in a makeshift space on the fifth floor of Madison Square Garden. Outside the Washington establishment, Halperin is known, if at all, as a journalist (his official title is political director of ABC News), but within it he is considered the leading purveyor of inside dope. As the founder of The Note, a political news digest that appears on the ABC News Web site each weekday morning by eleven o'clock, he collects information the way bookies keep tabs on the latest odds, or photographers chase the fading light. He collects polling data, no matter what the time of year or the size of the sample. He collects any rise or fall—even the smallest blip—in the projected electoral count. He also collects dirt, such as the unsealed divorce records of Jack Ryan, a Senate candidate from Illinois, which detailed visits to an alleged "sex club," and which forced Ryan out of the race. He collects other things, too: arcane statistics from documents that government agencies churn out but few read; embargoed political books (The Note footnoted Kitty Kelley's gossipy portrait of the Bush family twenty-four hours before it was released, beneath the teaser "Here Kitty, Kitty"); wire reports; radio transcripts; pieces of legislation; the guest lists of Georgetown dinner parties; and other minutiae that are of little interest to the ordinary citizen but are essential to his calling ("2:00 p.m.: Sen. John Kerry and his family hold a barbeque at the Heinz Farm, Fox Chapel, Pa"). Mostly, though, Halperin collects leaks and scuttlebutt from the campaign consultants, strategists, pollsters, pundits, and journalists who make up the modern-day political establishment, or what Halperin calls "the Gang of 500."
"We try to channel what the chattering class is chattering about, and to capture the sensibility, ethos, and rituals of the Gang of 500, which still largely sets the political agenda for the country," Halperin explained during one of several recent conversations.
Mary Matalin, a campaign adviser to President Bush, described Halperin as "the insider's insider's insider" and the readership of The Note as a kind of "Skull and Bones for the political class." The Note is written in a runic argot that is often incomprehensible to the outsider. A typical edition includes comments like this one:
So for the Rs, the formula is simple: Positive ads (to boost the POTUS favs back up) + negative ads (to define Kerry) + free media from the negative ads (to increase the bang for the buck and bracket Kerry's free media message, as with today's gas tax ad) + presidential and vice presidential speeches and trips to swing states (like today's economic message in Wisconsin by Mr. Bush) + a crafty congressional agenda (except for that pesky highway bill . . .) + a foreign-trips-Olympics-9/11-anniversary-debates strategy like you wouldn't believe = 270 electoral votes or more.
Karl Rove, Bush's chief strategist, is sometimes described as S.M.I.P. ("smartest man in politics"), and Kerry's former campaign manager Jim Jordan as S.S.M.I.P. ("second smartest man in politics"). Halperin's references can be so obscure that they baffle even members of the Gang of 500. Recently, after The Note joked that a cabal of left-wing journalists was holding meetings, "per usual," on the top floor of Lauriol Plaza, a Mexican restaurant in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, Rush Limbaugh announced on his radio show that he finally had proof of a liberal-media conspiracy. "Ladies and gentlemen . . . it's been admitted to, if I'm reading this correctly, by ABC's The Note," he said.
ABC does not release the number of hits that The Note receives each day, but it is believed to be about thirty thousand—less than one per cent of the readership of the Times. Yet its readers are, as Halperin puts it, "among the most sought-after eyeballs in the country." And the Note's very knowingness about those in the know has made it, since its creation, in January, 2002, the most influential tip sheet in Washington. "The President has the P.D.B., the Presidential Daily Briefing, where the C.I.A. takes all its information and gives it to the President," Paul Begala, a former campaign adviser to Bill Clinton and a co-host of CNN's "Crossfire," told me. "For everyone else in Washington, Halperin and The Note are our version of the P.D.B." Bill and Hillary Clinton are said to read it, as do Bill Frist, the Senate Majority Leader, and Terry McAuliffe, the head of the Democratic National Committee; when Rove is on the road, he has a printout sent to him.
In each edition, The Note tries to offer a comprehensive repository of political news, with Web links to what it considers the "must reads" in major and minor newspapers, and summaries of ephemera from cable news, talk radio, and the blogosphere. Its original reporting is often based on leaks from unnamed sources. During the Democratic primary season, the Howard Dean campaign spent months futilely trying to find out who kept sending Halperin its internal memoranda.
Many of The Note's scoops are presented in riddle form. On August 19th, after The Note learned that the Kerry campaign was about to hire two former Clinton advisers, Joel Johnson and Joe Lockhart, it broke the news with the headline "Pick Up Hazy Joely and Killer Joe." Buried in that day's edition was another hint: "There are those who are Harbouring a willingness to Park themselves at 15th and Eye Streets." When I asked Halperin to decode these allusions, he explained that Johnson worked at the Harbour Group, a consulting firm, and that Lockhart was an employee at another consulting firm, the Glover Park Group; Kerry's campaign headquarters is at the corner of Fifteenth and I Streets. Halperin explained further that Lockhart was a Bruce Springsteen fan, and that the headline was a play on the song "Spirit in the Night," which includes the lyric "We'll pick up Hazy Davy and Killer Joe." (After the item appeared, another Web site for political devotees, wonkette.com, mockingly solved the puzzle with an entry entitled "Translating The Note.")

4-STARS, 5-STARS, REALLY??? – With all due respect to prior patrons who commented on Alfredo's. Being from Long Island, NY, I am "THE PIZZA OFFICIANADO". Used to buy here years ago and the pizza was tops. What I got served today was yesterday's pizza with some fresh mozzarella sprinkled on top in a feeble attempt to add new life to a beat up old shoe. Service was great, but the product was poor. And I'm trying to be gracious. Seriously, I should have sent it back. I'm kicking myself because management will never correct problems like this unless they're aware that there's an issue. My Bad! I won't be back.
RUDE!!!!!! – I tried to email this directly to the restaurant, but the email on their website is as bad as their waiter...
I have never been to your restaurant before. I have been looking for a decent pizza place that is open on Sunday. At first, things were wonderful. The pizza was good and we were definitely planning to return.
We ordered an XL pizza so we could have some left over. When we were finished, I tried for about 15 minutes to get the waiter's attention to get our pizza boxed. I waved at him several times, tried to call to him, but he was too busy hanging with his friends.
We took our pizza up front to be boxed and to pay our bill. I asked if it was customary that your patrons would have to bring their own food to the front. At that point, the waiter appeared and was VERY rude about how it was MY fault that he hadn't noticed my attempts to get his attention. He slammed the register after ringing us up. He had been awesome in the beginning so I left a $2 tip on our $15 bill – not my normal tip, but considering his behavior at that moment more than he deserved. I signed my slip and returned it, as he threw my receipt at me. I commented that I was tempted to take back the tip I'd left. His response was a very nasty "Take it, I don't need it."
When we got home I couldn't find my phone. My daughter made several comments about how she hoped I hadn't left it there because she was sure something awful would happen to it, and at the very least you would lie if we returned to get it. She doesn't not want to ever return. She even commented that our son, who has an awful temper when he feels someone has done him wrong, would have handled himself much better than did our waiter.
I am SO disappointed. While we were eating I thought we'd found a new Sunday pizza place. But I don't need to go somewhere I'm treated so badly.
Best Authentic Italian Food at Very Affordable Prices – Really great food with friendly service and great prices.
Sit back and ejoy great food while watching the big screen!.
BEST AROUND LEWISVILLE – Great food ! MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN GOING TO ALFREDO FOR AT LEST 15 YEARS. IT'S FAMILY OWNED AND THEY COOK ALL THE FOOD. IF YOU TRY IT ONCE , YOU'LL GO BACK AGAIN & AGAIN. THIER PRICE IS FAIR. GOOD ITALIAN PIZZA, LOTS OF FOOD. THEY HAVE A GREAT CHICKEN SALAD. GOOD GARIC CHEESE BREAD. NICE PEOPLE !

Gift ideas for the Edgar Allan Poe obsessive

$2.7 Million NSF
Kent State University has been awarded a training grant in the amount of $2,756,719 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Integrative Graduation Education and Research Training (IGERT) program. This is the first IGERT grant to be awarded to Kent State. The grant, which is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, runs through 2014.
The grant funds an IGERT project that focuses on environment aquatic resource sensing (EARS). The purpose of the program is to train doctoral students in environment sensing to learn how to protect and sense things in aquatic environments. The training provided by this project will prepare graduate students for a variety of future careers relevant to freshwater resources.
"The use of sensing technology allows us to monitor and understand what's going on in our environment," says Laura Leff, professor and assistant chair of Kent State's Department of Biological Sciences and principal investigator of the program. "Humans are dependent on freshwater resources, and there is not much freshwater on the Earth's surface. There are many diverse threats that can impact our aquatic systems, and technology, such as sensors, allows us to ask questions we couldn't ask before."
The EARS project is interdisciplinary and involves Kent State and Miami University. "We want students to collaborate across disciplines to get a real hands-on experience and business experience in terms of technology transfer," Leff says. "The project provides a unique opportunity to bring together people in sciences, business and technology, serving as a catalyst of new partnerships to form not just between the sciences, but also with the colleges of business and technology."
A highly competitive program, Kent State was one of more than 400 pre-proposals for the grant award. Ultimately, only 25 were funded.
"This grant brings a lot of prestige to the university since it's a highly competitive award, endorsing the quality of our students and our sciences," says James Blank, chair of Kent State's Department of Biological Sciences. "This is a highly coveted award that will help transform graduate programs."
Currently, three doctoral students from Kent State and three doctoral students from Miami University are participating in the EARS project. The students recently conducted a workshop at Lacawac Sanctuary in Pennsylvania where they tested sensors and collected data. They also will design an education outreach project that they will implement together, using what they are learning to educate students in local schools. IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. doctoral scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline and the technical, professional and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The IGERT program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.

200 Game Crazy Stores to Close, Liquidation Sales Begin This Saturdayby Nick Breckon, Sep 30, 2009 12:30pm PDT
Movie Gallery has announced that it will soon close around 200 of its 680 Game Crazy retail stores.
In a statement to Joystiq, the company blamed an "unprecedented consumer/retail environment" for the closures.
While the doomed stores have been reportedly been directed to redistribute all systems and many recently-released games to surviving Game Crazy outlets, the rest of the stock will be put up for sale in the following manner:
- 10/3-10/11: 30% off everything in the store
- 10/12-10/18: 50% off everything in the store
- 10/19-Closing: 80% off everything in the store
It is still unknown which specific Game Crazy outlets will close, so consumers are advised to check with their local stores before heading out on a fruitless bargain run.

"So happy for Bray Wyatt. You deserve your moment, brother." - JTG praising Bray Wyatt before his match against John Cena at Wrestlemania 30
April 17, 2014
"Obvious that Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso have committed to getting main event phsyical conditioning. I wish them well. They had in ring skills when they were eight years old. That's a fact." - Jim Ross praising the Usos
April 17, 2014
"I was told it was reported WWE was 'there' for us. 'There' is the understatement of a lifetime. They were a warm blanket to us three and we were quickly absorbed into their family. Words are cheap; promises are forever. This family is one I'm honored to be a member of and will gladly be the warm blanket to any of them who need me next." - the wife of the Ultimate Warrior informing fans of how much WWE has helped her since the death of her husband
April 16, 2014
"I'm as grateful to Sting as anybody in the wrestling business for the benefit he has had in my career. Steve is a great guy and very very smart and just a model citizen as far as the way he conducts himself and how much respect he commands. There are some people who seem to be obsessed with respect and seem to be obsessed with guys not showing them enough respect but Sting is a guy who has never had to pull any stunts, never had to bully anyone, never had to throw his weight around or pull rank; he commands respect. The same could be said about Kurt Angle." - Brutus Magnus discusses how Sting is backstage
April 15, 2014
"Seems like TNA is signing their core talents whose contracts are either up or in need of revising. WWE has seemingly made it clear that they have no interest in Impact talents and will instead reply on their Performance Center for their future stars. However, with Jeff Jarrett preparing to launch another promotion it makes sense for TNA to be proactive." - Jim Ross reveals that WWE is not interested in TNA performers
April 15, 2014
"Not sure why as a fan I should dislike Cesaro and it can't be simply because he's aligned himself with Paul Heyman. Cesaro simply outwrestles people and is damned impressive while doing it. Some of Cesaro's matches down in NXT the last year or so were better than anyone on RAW was having at the time." - Jim Ross thinks Antonio Cesaro should do a face turn
April 15, 2014
"A unique athlete, it's funny because he was a book that was judged by his cover, for a very long time and it took a while to get him into TNA and we were always fighting to get him in. Everybody was like 'we gotta change his look and blah blah blah,' but finally when they gave him the chance, he showed them that you didn't need to judge him by the cover because he brings a unique intensity and a unique character to TNA and I think it would be a different TNA without him. He has changed the business." - Christopher Daniels discusses Samoa Joe
April 15, 2014
"I assume that he hasn't signed with WWE only because WWE hasn't announced it. Signing Sting would create positive news for WWE as he is a major star that WWE can monetize in a variety of ways if he comes aboard. I don't see Sting even needing to wrestle to be a viable asset to WWE if he does sign with the company. If Sting did have one match it WWE it would need to be a long build, much anticipated one that has a significant payoff at a major event more specifically Wrestlemania 31." - Jim Ross talks about the rumors of Sting signing with WWE
April 15, 2014
"I never really wanted to go to WWE. The tryout there was awesome. It was really fun and I can't say enough good things and I learned a lot, but I told a few of the guys during the initial tryout with Eddie that this was not for me just because moving down to Orlando is not what I wanted to do and wrestling is not the only thing I want to do with my life. To give up everything and just live in that world is not my idea of a great life or a perfect life. TNA offered me to be able to wrestle with some of the best wrestlers in the world, I could be on television, I could go and entertain crowds but I could still come home and be Wes. I could be Davey, then I could be Wes. It was just better for me and I couldn't be happier in TNA it's been great." - Davey Richards on choosing TNA over WWE
April 14, 2014
"Happiest guy living right now. Wish I was there to watch her grow up, but so happy to be given this gift now. And from here on, I'm going to be a different person than I have been. Will be the best daddy ever, or at least the best one I can be. I'm the happiest guy on this planet right now. Now, I get it. To all the boys who have told me how it's life changing when you have a kid, man, had no kids, so I didn't get it. Now I do. That's my girl. Guys, don't you dare look at her twice. Bad ankles and all, I will make sure you never look at my daughter like that again. Love you, Bianca." - Marty Jannetty after finding out that he has a daughter

She gathered them up and then tried to find some personal info to see who lost the stuff. She found a busienss card and called.

April 11, 2014
"I got a sense he wasn't well. It was sad to me. He was kind of hunched over. He used to have such great posture. You just had this sense that he wasn't well. But he was in great spirits. He came up to (other wrestlers) and gave them hugs." - Sean Waltman discusses the health of the Ultimate Warrior during Wrestlemania 30 weekend
April 11, 2014
"When I first heard the news of the Ultimate Warrior's passing - from my oldest son - my first thoughts were of his precious daughters, and how their father - whose love for them was clear - had been taken away from them far to early in their lives. My second thought was about the foolish tweet I sent out during Warrior's Hall of Fame induction speech - and how badly I wish I could have taken those words back. Maybe they seemed harmless at the time, but in retrospect, the fact that my final words about Warrior were negative ones has had me feeling pretty bad these last 24 hours. I did not dislike Warrior. I got along fine with him in 1996, and years later, during a 'Legends Rountable' focusing on 'Heatseekers', I was good-naturedly kidded by my fellow Roundtable guests for having nothing negative to say about Warrior, Paul Heyman or Buff Bagwell." - Mick Foley talks about his relationship with Ultimate Warrior

Orlando >Food & Dining > Emerils Restaurant Orlando
6000 Universal Blvd, Orlando, FL | Directions 3281928.472275 -81.467609
Neighborhoods: Southwest, Florida Center
I really enjoyed the dining experience in this place. The floor is not that crowded and all I can think of after the experience is how is it that cheap.
Good food; poor service for this caliber of restaurant – Ate there last evening. Server made my husband and I feel like second class citizens- she was clearly angling for a tip from a party of 5 at the expense of the other dining patrons in our area. I waited tables for 8 years during college and graduate school- will think twice about going back.
Dress code??? – I cant really revu this restaurant cuz Ive not been there ... why am I writing then ... cuz when we finally got there after a full day at Universal 'Island Adventure', we couldnt go in cuz most of us had on sleeveless tshirt ... go figure ...
Ive always enjoyed Emerils TV shows and his recipes; and Ive always wanted to eat at one of his restaurants ...
I was there with my family (12 total), were all from Seattle, enjoying the Disney parks and Universal parks. I suggested it to my family, and we were all excited to try out one of Emerils restaurants ... but when we finally arrived at the front door, the sign outside said "no sleeveless shirts allowed", and yes I had on a sleeveless shirt ... Really?! Its about 103-degrees outside with the humidity ... OMG ... it was brutal ... of course Im wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts ...
My main complaint is that Emerils restaurant is located at the Citywalk, front entrance of Universal Studios, not downtown Orlando ... yes the likelihood that people are in shorts and a tshirt in August is about 95% ...
So the 12 of us turned around and went over to the Italian restaurant 'PastaMore' about 50 feet away, it was great; the next day, we went to 'NBA City Restaurant' ... Emeril, it was your lost, not ours ... you mite want to reconsider your dress code, at least at that location ...
AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL – This was probably the most disappointing experience we have had at a restaurant in a very long time. We have always enjoyed Emeril's restaurants and when we were in New Orleans had most of our meals at an Emeril restaurant. But Emeril should be ashamed to have his name on this place. We chose the tasting menu with wine pairings. The wine was great. But nearly every single dish-- from the amuse bouche to the dessert was terrible. The taste, the look, the preparation, the temperature, every single thing was horrible. We couldn't eat most of it-- the spiny lobster was impossible to chew, the steak was tasteless, the dessert was disgusting. This really spoiled a full night of our all too short holiday.
Overpriced - Poor service, Unedible food – Oh My God! We just experienced the worst dining experienced ever on Jul 10. We were in town celebrating our 20th anniversary. Huge mistake. We have dined in some of the best restuarants overseas and stateside (Japan, SIngapore, DC, Thailand, Europe, TN, FL) , paid top $$$ for great food and superb service, this is undoubtedly the worst! The steak was cold and greasy, the gumbo tasked like Zatarians watered down., dirty plates, the fish was fishy! Yuk. The suited wait staff visited every table but ours, they really need to invest in diversity training. What a waste of $150. We dared not try the dessert. Definitely does NOT cater to refined taste buds. Those folks who gave this restaurant raving reviews, need to evaluate themselves and learn to difference between fine dining and glorified Red Lobster/Olive Garden. A waste of money , folks!
Excellent food, ambiance and service!! – My husband and I have been to Emeril's Orlando twice--the first time as a couple dining alone (5-06) and this last time with our toddler son (5-08). Both times were awesome and a wonderful experience! The food is outstanding, it's so hard to stop eating to save room for dessert!! I went out on a limb and tried the Fried Green Tomatoe's appetizer and I was not disappointed!! My husband loved the Andoulle Sausage appetizer. Both times, we had an excellent waiter and wonderful service--this last time, they were also very accomodating to our toddler son, letting us order his food early, making a side of "over cooked" veggies for him which were perfect--we were able to feed him before our meal came so we could enjoy our fantasic dinner's--every bite was a pleasure!! I had the special fish for the evening, Chilean Sea Bass over purple sticky rice, oh my, it was soooo good!!! We don't go out to dinner very often, it's something we enjoy doing when we vacation--we save calories and money on a daily basis but evey calorie and dollar spent at Emeril's is worth it!!
Emerils' Orlando - Very Disappointing and WAY OVERPRICED - BAM! – 11/26/07 We ordered BBQ Shrimp, Mushrooms and alamari. When the shrimp came it was very disappointing. It was not the Jumbo shrimp swimming in a luscious BBQ sauce. Instead it was very small shrimp, no head and a tablespoon or so of ?BBQ? sauce drizzled on top. mushrooms were small sliced mushrooms on a ? c of angel hair pasta with very little if any sauce, hardly enough for one person let alone an entire table. The calamari was tasty but a bit chewy and a small portion. We have had much better at other restaurants in the area for ? the price. It took a while for our main courses to arrive. When they did my friend that had ordered the pork chop attempted to cut through it with a knife but it proved difficult. It was the toughest overcooked pork chop we had ever seen. Even with the steak knife it proved a challenge. When she asked the waiter if it was suppose to be this tough; he suggested that she didn?t like the taste or texture instead of realizing it was overcooked and tough. She got the chicken instead. While the rest of us were eating she ordered another drink and about 20 minutes later her drink came out and it was not what she ordered so it had to be sent back. I had the duck which was very good but the rice was just plain white rice. The men at the table all had the Kobe Beef which was very good but again the sides were terrible. The chicken arrived at the table when most of us were just finishing our meals. The disappointing fact was despite the interesting sounding dish on the menu; it was just plain chicken with nothing interesting or extraordinary about it. The point is we could have chosen several other places in the area for ? to ? of the price and received much better service and a more satisfying meal but we paid almost $1,000.00 for a meal where one of our guests left hungry and none of us were totally full or satisfied that that meal was worth the price.
Tourist trap...bad service and atmosphere inside – No reservation..seated by the bar..decent service..overpriced menu..food was decent. We had to wait over 30 minutes for our entrees...will not come back.
Food excellent, service and atmosphere not so much – They ask you if you are celebrating a special occasion, and if you want a candle on your desert. They sing happy birthday like as if you are at Chili's. I said I wasn't sure if we were ordering dessert, but if we did, then yes. We had a reservation and were asked to have a seat in a waiting area when we arrived, even though there were quite a few open tables. I was hoping since it was our anniversary they would tuck us away in a quieter room, but we sat right there by the kitchen with tables very close together. Not romantic at all, very loud and cold. We were wondering why there was only one wine glass on the table when we saw the big sticky fingerprints on the glass. I said "I hate to be a pain but this glass is kind of dirty, do you think you...." before I even finished my sentence, the annoyed waiter turned from me and took both glasses...I said "the other glass is fine" but he was gone. The waiter was buddy buddy with the large table next to us, chatting away, but since he was mad at us about the wine glass, he was very brief, and a little rude when we ordered. When he would forget about us for too long, which was quite often, back up waiters would notice and pick up the slack but sometimes it was too little too late. I can't go into too much detail since space is limited, but our waiter was so mean he almost made me cry. The service was slow but the food was amazing. I recommend the calamari. The redfish was pretty good and my husbands fillet mignon was delicious. THe desserts looked amazing and the house pinot grigio was worth the $10 per glass. I think our waiter's name was Michael, the server number on our receipt is 10206.
VERY DISAPPOINTING, Tourist Trap! – We have eaten in the Atlanta Emerils and had a wonderful experience. So when we found out we were going to Orlando for a cheerleading competition I immediatly made a resveration at Emerils Orlando. The experience was nothing like our Atlanta one. Restaurant was noisy, dirty and crowded. Definatly a tourist trap. We started with a cospomolitian martini that tasted fruit juice. Went thru the wine list, which is extensive if you want to spend $100 or more on a bottle of wine. We found something that we liked on the by the glass list for $16.00/glass and asked if we could have a bottle of that, waiter said sure they would charge us 4 times the glass, so $64.00, when the bill came they charged $70.00.
Our steaks were tough and the twice baked potato was so dry it crumbled when you put your fork in it.
Overall I have nothing good I can say, our bill was $270.00 and I don't mind paying that when you get a good meal but for what we got the meal wasn't even worth $25.00.
