Anniston police Sgt. Chris Sparks said someone broke into a business on the 1600 block of Front Street and set a car on fire. An employee at Pressley Body Shop and Towing declined to give his name, but confirmed the fire occurred at the business.
Sparks said the Anniston Fire Department responded to a call between 4:30 and 5:30 Sunday afternoon. Firefighters found one car on fire and four others sustained burn damage, Sparks said.
The vehicle where the fire originated appeared to be forced open, Sparks said. Police and the body shop employee were uncertain Monday how much damage the fire caused.
Sparks said no one was at the business when the fire started.
The incident was still under investigation, Sparks said, and no suspects had been named.
A suspect could be charged with breaking and entering a vehicle, a felony, according to a police report.

Canterbury stretches from ocean to the Alps, and is land of plains and peaks. It is a place of variety and innumerable attractions.
Download our guide to the Christchurch & Canterbury region
Within two hours of an international airport, you can ski, play golf, bungy jump, go whitewater rafting, mountain biking, wind surfing, whale watching, and visit world-class vineyards and gardens. Where else in the world can you do that?
A must-see is New Zealand's highest peak, Aoraki Mount Cook. Go hiking in Arthur's Pass National Park or just wander around the picturesque bays and villages of Banks Peninsula. And then there's New Zealand's second-largest city, Christchurch known as 'The Garden City'.
In February 2011, Christchurch, New Zealand, was hit by a huge earthquake. Much of the central city with its classic neo-gothic architecture was destroyed. But it remains a beautiful city, a city where you can cycle alongside the river, stay in good hotels and indulge in fine sophisticated dining, and a city where, just 15 minutes from the centre you can scramble up mountain bike tracks or ride a wave at a surf beach. The buildings may have been damaged but the soul of the city and the welcoming spirit of the people remain very much intact. Don't miss visiting Christchurch.

Keep track of who cleans which rooms, and bill the Housekeeper for labor! It will end immediately...
Where I work we have trouble with the housekeepers flushing bars of soap down the toilets. Its a real pain to auger out. Has anyone else ever ran into this?
Keep track of who cleans which rooms, and bill the Housekeeper for labor! It will end immediately...
One way to keep them from doing this is to get them emotionally-involved in a project with a positive spin, and management may appreciate this suggestion from you.
Believe it or not, there is actually a project where a group collects, sanitizes, remolds and thus recycles partially-used hotel soap bars and ships them to Africa to aid in sanitation.
It seems to me that the product itself (soap) is inexpensive enough that it isn't worth the effort and expense to recycle it and more importantly to ship it, but it seems that these folks are doing exactly that.
There is a list on their web site of their over 1000 participating hotels, and it appears that the JW Marriott hotel in the San Antonio Hill Country, Texas, was their biggest contributor last year, shipping them 9000 pounds of soap.
Apparently, the participating hotels just work with their housekeeping staff to reclaim the soap bars and store them in housekeeping until a sufficiently-efficent sized batch of soap is ready to send.
This really is a good way to encourage the staff to save and recycle the soap, rather than flushing.
Last edited by wjcandee; 02-04-2013 at 11:47 AM.
I picked up a hotel trade magazine some years ago when I was a road warrior. In it was an ad for a machine that would chew up the soap, sort of like a giant blender. The soap could then be used in the hotel laundry for washing linens. Better than toilet diving any time.
I would not waste the time augering it once I knew it was a bar of soap. I remove the toilet and dump the bar out.

New York Vacations
Your New York State vacation
Why do people from all over the world head to the spectacular New York State foliage display? Unlike the rest of the country, the Northeast is particularly blessed with a great variety of broad-leaved trees, which help give the region's foliage a spectacular color range. New York State has almost as many acres of such trees as the rest of the Northeast combined.
The change in color from the bright greens of summer to the brilliant hues of fall follows a predictable pattern across the state. It begins high in the Adirondack and Catskill mountains in late August and early September, and spreads out and down across the hills and valleys of the state, ending on Long Island and in New York City in late October to early November. It takes about two weeks for the colors to complete their cycles in any given area, with peak brilliance lasting three to four days in any one spot.
Best time to take a vacation to New York
Best Time to Go
It's infamously difficult to schedule New York State vacations that coincide with both good weather and reduced crowds, but the best bet for striking this ideal balance is planning a New York State vacation for April or May when weather is good but summer crowds have not yet inundated the region. While this window of time doesn't offer the best of the area's events, it provides travelers on a New York State vacation an opportunity to explore The Big Apple with less hectic surroundings, as well as cooler weather ideal for outdoor events. During this springtime window, Visitors can enjoy Hanami, a Japanese ritual involving cherry blossoms.

New York highlights
Hike the High Peaks
The crimsons, golds and purples of the Adirondack autumn will suck the film right out of your camera, and viewing experiences are abundant. You can try hiking one of the Adirondacks' 46 high peaks, and many, including the highest, Mt. Marcy, are within the ability of even novice climbers. The views from 5,344-foot-high Mt. Marcy and its sister peaks are outstanding in any season. Another amazing option would be filming the foliage from the ground level, especially when mirrored against Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake or world-famous Lake Placid. A third exhilarating experience would be enjoying views of Lake George in a hot-air balloon ride. Other family fun activities include the Adirondack Museum at Blue Mountain Lake and Tucker's Farm corn maize in Gabriels.
Bike the Hudson Valley
The Hudson Valley's celebrated beauty spawned an entire school of art, and an autumn bike tour of this historic and picturesque region will show you why. Stately estates, farmers markets, state parks, and incomparable views are just a few of the delights awaiting the cyclist. On the east bank of the Hudson River, a tour beginning in Hyde Park takes you past the Vanderbilt Mansion and the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, where you can see an air show, take a ride in a biplane, or just admire the antique aero planes. On the west bank, bike through leafy yellow tunnels formed by the overhanging trees along Harriman State Park's Seven Lakes Drive and gape at the views of the Hudson from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
Hike the Finger Lakes Region
The Finger Lakes region abounds in nature centers and wildlife preserves with thousands of acres set aside for hiking, canoeing and other outdoor pursuits. Good bets include the Beaver Lake Nature Center in Baldwinsville, the Howland Island Wildlife Management Area in Cayuga and the Limehollow Nature Center in Cortland. A must-see for leaf peepers is the Genesee Gorge, the 17-mile-long "Grand Canyon of the East" whose blue waters are sandwiched between blazing hills in Letchworth State Park. A favorite for wine enthusiasts is the Seneca Lake Wine Trail which begins in Branchport and ends in Watkins Glen. A popular option for foodies is the Wayne County Annual Apple Tasting Tour in Lyons in October.
Niagara Falls
Okay, let's ignore the wedding and honeymoon thing for a minute and just focus on the water. It flows down the Niagara River, picking up momentum as it courses along its ancient migratory pathway, reaching speeds of up to 30 mph before tumbling hundreds of thousands of gallons at a time over the craggy rocks of Niagara Falls. Take in the view in any number of ways: With your toes just inches from both sets of falls, the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls; from your hotel room from way up high; or from the middle of the action, with the mist spraying up in your face. Whichever way chosen, the trip will be exhilarating.

Most visitors embarking on New York State vacations envision the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and the capital city's famous yellow cabs. But truth is, the sprawling and often bucolic New York State features 11 different regions, all of which offer their own take on the balance between coastal culture and proximity to the World's Capital. New York State travel doesn't have to stop at the city's limits. Travelers willing to venture away from the world-famous burrows will discover historical attractions, genuine American hospitality, and abundant natural beauty stretching from countrywide to dramatic coast.

LeClerc Creek Wildlife Area Management Plan
Habitat - Wildlife Area Management
Date Published: November 2006
Number of Pages: 37
Author(s): Joe McCanna and Todd Baarstad
LeClerc Creek Wildlife Area is located in Pend Oreille County about 25 miles northwest of the town of Newport. The four land units totaling 614 owned acres were purchased with Pitman-Robertson and State Wildlife funds in 1972. The majority of the area is forested and is managed for a variety of wildlife habitat improvements and public recreation opportunities.
The primary management concerns and public issues identified in the LeClerc Creek Wildlife Area Plan are:
In 2006, WDFW staff completed the draft Wildlife Area Management Plan and achieved weed management goals outlined in the plan. The fire and timber harvest preparations at Sherman Creek took management time away from LeClerc Creek in 2006. Performance measures for 2007 focus on increasing public awareness in the Grizzly Bear Recovery Area exploring options for elk and waterfowl management, nongame and upland bird habitat management and noxious weed control.

Formerly a decrepit railroad town in the mountains, Truckee is now the trendy first stop for many Tahoe visitors. The town was officially established around 1863, and by 1868 it had gone from a stagecoach station to a major stopover for trains bound for the Pacific via the new transcontinental railroad. Freight trains and Amtrak's California Zephyr still stop every day at the depot right in the middle of town. Stop inside the depot for a walking-tour map of historic Truckee. Across from the station, where Old West facades line the main drag, you'll find galleries, gift shops, boutiques, old-fashioned diners, and several remarkably good restaurants. Look for outlet stores, strip malls, and discount skiwear shops along Donner Pass Road, north of the freeway. Because of its location on Interstate 80, Truckee is a favorite stopover for people traveling from the San Francisco Bay Area to the north shore of Lake Tahoe, Reno, and points east.

The Museum Volunteer Program
Catherine Dueñas and Terry Friedman
It has been a remarkable year for the Volunteer Program, one filled with significant growth and progress. With the announcement that the Joseph and Mary Grimshaw Egyptian Gallery would open in spring 1999, we carefully began to examine and evaluate the role of the Volunteer Program on the threshold of the twenty-first century. We saw our mission as twofold: encompassing past experience with future long-range strategies. Our first goal was to recruit, train, and introduce new members into the Volunteer Corps, while at the same time encouraging all current Volunteers, active and inactive, to renew their commitment to the Volunteer Program.
Our second goal was to keep the Outreach Program alive and vibrant, delivering substantive programming to an ever-expanding audience. With the Egyptian Gallery not scheduled to reopen until late spring 1999, Outreach continued to serve as a viable educational alternative, offering on-site as well as off-site field trip experiences. Outreach, with its versatile programs and diverse audience base, has become an integral part of the Volunteer Program over the past four years, helping to keep both the Volunteer Program and the museum alive and in the public eye throughout the period of gallery closure.
Volunteer Training
Fall was a very busy season for the Docents and Volunteers. Each Saturday from 10 October through 21 November, both returning and new Volunteers gathered in Breasted Hall to hear a series of lectures about ancient Egypt. The title of the training class was Introducing Ancient Egypt and it focused on the topics and themes that would be presented in the new Egyptian Gallery. Afternoon break-out sessions focused attention on various volunteer options at the Oriental Institute.
The class was a successful collective effort that creatively combined new volunteers with experienced returning volunteers. We were also pleased to have the participation of many Chicago Public School teachers, who attended this class as part of an in-service training program funded by the Lloyd A. Fry Foundation. Their input provided a springboard for the discussion of important practical teaching techniques to enhance docent-led tours in the museum.
We would like to express our immense appreciation to everyone who worked on the Volunteer Training Class. Emily Teeter initiated and developed the themes and content of the Volunteer Class materials. Our thanks to the faculty and staff members, who gave nine dynamic lectures: Karen Wilson, Peter Dorman, Frank Yurco, Emily Teeter, John Larson, Robert Ritner, Steve Vinson, and John Sanders.
Special thanks to those who worked on the Volunteer Training Manual. Emily Teeter, curator of the Egyptian Gallery, wrote the Training Manual, and Judy Chavin, Carole Krucoff, John Larson, and Karen Wilson made helpful editing additions. The end result produced an excellent instructional tool for the new Egyptian Gallery.
We are grateful to the volunteers who enriched training by presenting very interesting break-out sessions to the class participants: For "What An Archaeologist Does," thanks to Bud Haas, Evelyn Ruskin, and Larry Scheff; for the "Mock Outreach Break-out Session," thanks to Janet Calkins, Hazel Cramer, Masako Matsumoto, Diane Posner, Stephen Ritzel, Deloris Sanders, and Carole Yoshida; for "Reading Egyptian Hieroglyphs," thanks to George Junker; and for "Museum Education at the Oriental Institute," thanks to Carole Krucoff.
Last, but certainly not least, our thanks to the many volunteers who shared their talents and organizational skills to help make the class sessions run smoothly. These were the volunteers who faithfully assisted with setup, registration, and cleanup throughout the entire series: Debbie Aliber, Hazel Cramer, Peggy Grant, Masako Matsumoto, Denise Paul, Diane Posner, Stephen Ritzel, Christina Ruhaak, and Carole Yoshida.
Follow-up Training Sessions
On 8 May and 15 May, two follow-up training sessions were offered to prepare the volunteers to give docent-led tours of the new Egyptian Gallery. Emily Teeter, curator of the Egyptian Gallery, led these two additional training sessions for the docents and volunteers. The themes and objects on view in the new Egyptian Gallery were beautifully presented to the volunteers using slides and a discussion format to help familiarize everyone with the gallery content.
The afternoon activities on 8 May were highlighted by the video "Docent on Tour," which was produced by the Smithsonian Institution. After viewing this special video, which discusses touring techniques, the volunteers and several Chicago Public School teachers participated in break-out sessions. These sessions resulted in some excellent ideas for interactive touring techniques, which docents will be able to use with visiting school groups in the museum.
The 15 May afternoon session featured Sheldon Newman, a professional training consultant. Mr. Newman was introduced to the Oriental Institute through a recruitment advertisement for new volunteers posted on the website. Although he was unable to participate in the training class, he was pleased to offer his services as a training consultant. With the opening of the new Egyptian Gallery on the horizon, he wanted to develop a special program that would give the volunteers an opportunity to discuss their concerns as well as to create an open forum for dialogue about their role and responsibilities as tour guides in the new Egyptian Gallery. The second part of the afternoon program allowed everyone to join break-out session groups to brainstorm and work creatively on producing problem-solving techniques. The end result was a fascinating exchange of useful ideas.
Our New Office Space
Finally in September, after months of planning and preparation, we moved into our spacious new office in Room 221. Our thanks and appreciation to the many volunteers who helped facilitate the move and who participated in the organization throughout this important transition. Hats off to Debbie Aliber, Todd Chavin, Mary and Richard Harter, Sandy Jacobsohn, Daila Shefner, and Helaine Staver. Special thanks to Oriental Institute staff members Randolph Olive and Joe Scott, who helped us move and install the book shelves in the Docent Library; and to John Sanders who graciously moved and installed our computers, printer, and telephones. Thank you all. We could never have done it without your help.
This year the Docent Library has continued to expand and flourish under the supervision of the Docent Librarian, Debbie Aliber, and her library committee: Sandy Jacobsohn, Deloris Sanders, and Daila Shefner. Special thanks to all of them for continuing to maintain this wonderful educational resource for the docents and volunteers.
The Docent Library has also received many generous book donations and gifts from faculty, staff, and volunteers. We were very honored to receive a special contribution from the South Suburban Archaeological Society in memory of Barbara James.
As a result of our move into the Education Office Suite in Room 221, the library is now housed in a comfortable conference room, adjacent to the Museum Education Office. Docents and volunteers can come in to enjoy a cup of coffee, have lunch, or just read quietly in this new space.
Docent Days
Volunteers enthusiastically attended and participated in Docent Day programs and activities throughout this past year. With the construction phase of the renovation project completed, the volunteers were able to return to Breasted Hall to hear a variety of fascinating lectures. We would like to express our appreciation to the members of the faculty, staff, and to the volunteers who provided enriching learning experiences for us all: Abbas Alizadeh, John Brinkman, Norman Golb, Martha Roth, Matthew Stolper, Emily Teeter, Aslihan Yener, Tim Cashion, Larry Scheff, and Mary Shea. We would like to thank everyone for making our Docent Days very rewarding.
Field Trips
Volunteers enjoyed the opportunity to visit three culturally diverse and unique art collections on their field trips this year. These excursions served as thought-provoking and enlightening educational experiences. They highlighted intriguing collections and enhanced our appreciation of a wide variety of art forms. Our thanks to Virginia Heaven of the Haifa Faisal Collection; Ned Broderick, Joe Petrocelli, and Sondra Varco of the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum; and to Bob Cantu, Frank Yurco, and Docent Larry Scheff of the Field Museum for inviting the volunteers to visit these wonderful educational resources in the City of Chicago.
We were delighted this year to have the opportunity to work with three energetic and motivated interns who assisted the Volunteer Program in many ways. Christina Ruhaak, who came to us from Skidmore College; Emily Schuttenberg from the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools; and Michael Tafel from the University of Illinois at Chicago. From administrative tasks to Outreach Programs, their youthful energy and creative spirit has added so much to the Volunteer Program. We thank them for their time and commitment to the Oriental Institute.
Graduation, Volunteer Recognition, and the Annual Holiday Luncheon
On 9 December, faculty, staff, and volunteers gathered to enjoy a festive celebration for December Docent Day, which featured Volunteer Training Graduation, Volunteer Recognition Ceremonies, and a lovely Holiday Luncheon.
Our guest speaker for the morning program was Professor Norman Golb, who discussed "What's New With the Dead Sea Scrolls." It was a fascinating update that highlighted some of the historical background, discovery, and controversial interpretation of the scrolls. The morning's activities culminated with the Volunteer Recognition Ceremony.
Welcome Aboard to the Class of 1998

Our thanks and appreciation to Director Gene Gragg for graciously underwriting this festive occasion and to Tim Cashion and the Development Office for providing complimentary memberships to all the Recognition Award recipients. We would also like to give a special note of thanks to Jean Grant for taking memorable photographs of the day's events.
January Tea at the President's Home
In January, the faculty, staff, and volunteers were graciously welcomed at the home of President and Mrs. Sonnenschein for a "fireside chat" and a lovely tea reception. Despite the inclement weather, a dedicated group of faculty, staff, and volunteers gathered to hear Professor Gene Gragg speak about "The Oriental Institute and Its Museum." Professor Gragg gave an interesting historical retrospective concerning the background of the Oriental Institute and its founder, James Henry Breasted. His talk focused on Breasted's definition of purpose and projected future goals for the Oriental Institute and its museum. Professor Gragg's presentation also discussed some of the intricate architectural details of the building, highlighting such items as the tympanum over the entrance to the Institute.
Volunteers have enthusiastically continued to embrace the Outreach Program, devoting their time and energies to producing and presenting unique interactive learning experiences for a variety of audiences throughout metropolitan Chicago, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Outreach has continued to be the vital link in helping the Institute stay "in the public eye" during the period of renovation. The program's content and execution brought history and archaeology alive to participants young and old. The numbers of people served remained consistent with last year's statistics, demonstrating the continued popularity, demand for, and importance of this valuable educational resource. Since the Outreach Program began in 1995, requests for visits have continued to increase each year. We are extremely proud to announce that the Outreach Program has now served over 10,000 people. Bravo to everyone who has helped us reach this milestone.
During this past year, we were very pleased to participate in our second Elderhostel Program with the University of Chicago's International House. From 10 to 14 May, Elderhostel participants explored "The Treasures of the Oriental Institute." Our appreciation to all the volunteers who helped to make the week-long program a great success. Kudos to the following presenters: Bud Haas, Janet Helman, Deloris Sanders, Larry Scheff, and Carole Yoshida, and to those who assisted with hands-on activities: Debbie Aliber, Debby Halpern, Mary Harter, Lee Herbst, Rita Picken, and Rochelle Rossin.
We have been very fortunate to receive many generous financial and in-kind contributions from volunteers and supporters this past year.
Contributors to the Docent Program have included William Boone, Mary D'Ouville, Bettie Dwinell, Margaret Foorman (in memory of Sally Grunsfeld), Peggy Kovacs, Rochelle Rossin, and Eleanor Swift (in memory of Ida DePencier)
A special note of appreciation to Volunteer Emeritus Betty Baum for her generosity. Her gift provided the funds to purchase a state-of-the-art laser printer for the Volunteer and Education Office.
In Memoriam
This year the Volunteer Program lost three loyal friends and supporters: Ida DePencier, Sally Grunsfeld, and Sally Zimmerman. Collectively, these extraordinary women devoted over 75 years of service to the Oriental Institute and to its Volunteer Program. All of these women were wonderful role models who exemplified a spirit of intellectual curiosity, learning, and generosity. We will miss all of them greatly.
Opening of the Egyptian Gallery
May was certainly an historic month for the Oriental Institute Museum. For over three years, visitors had waited patiently for the new Grimshaw Egyptian Gallery to reopen. The official public opening took place over Memorial Day weekend, 29-31 May. Nearly 2,000 visitors came through the doors to see "Egypt Unveiled" and to view the artifacts in the beautiful new gallery space. Volunteers were stationed in the Egyptian Gallery to serve as "Ask Me Docents," helping greet museum visitors, answering questions, and assisting with planned activities in other areas of the building. A steady flow of enthusiastic visitors, from senior citizens to children in strollers, were impressed with the majestic beauty of this world-renowned collection and were thrilled to participate in the activities involving this momentous opening.
In Retrospect
The Docent and Volunteer Program is poised and ready to accept the challenges that it faces in the 21st century. Throughout its thirty-three year history, the program has been able to adapt and change with the times. The closing of the museum and the development of a successful Outreach Program has taught us how resilient and resourceful the Volunteer Program can be. We are grateful to the faculty and staff of the Oriental Institute for their support and friendship throughout the years. As our teachers and mentors, they continue to share their wealth of knowledge, sparking our curiosity and supplying countless resources for our ongoing continuing education. The accessibility and involvement of both faculty and staff in the Volunteer Program help to motivate and inspire the high level of docent and volunteer commitment throughout many vital areas of the Oriental Institute and the museum.
We would like to thank our colleagues in Museum Education, Judy Chavin, Susy Giles, Carole Krucoff, Emily Napolitano, and Anna Rochester, for their guidance and faithful support throughout this past year.
In conclusion, the Docent and Volunteer Program is well prepared to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. The Volunteers are the Institute's most valuable asset. Whether working behind the scenes, assisting with research, doing outreach, or guiding in the museum, their creativity, tenacity, and unwavering support are an inspiration to all. We thank them for their many contributions, we admire their numerous talents, and we take pride in all they have accomplished.

Anyone who spends time looking into popular trends in health and nutrition has probably heard about juicing. From promising to help you lose loads of weight, to cleansing your body to lowering cholesterol, juicing is a craze that often seems to travel into "cure-all" territory. While many of the claims about juicing have not been scientifically proven to be true, there are some benefits to increasing your fruit and vegetable consumption by making your own juice at home.
In an article written by Registered Dietitian Kari Hartel, juicing is a very effective way to add fruits and vegetables to your diet, especially ones you might not normally eat. People who shy away from chomping down bushels of kale or handfuls of spinach can add them to juice and not even realize they're there. Juicing is also a way to avoid wasting money on throwing away fruits and vegetables that are near spoiling: throwing them in the juicer is a great way to get a little extra life out of your produce.
If you're thinking of seeing what the juicing craze is all about, it's always a good idea to check with your doctor first to make sure that you're still getting your recommended nutrients and not overloading on any vitamins or minerals.

Just jailbroke my phone but I'm having some post pwn issues:
All of the update appeared to complete OK, phone rebooted and cydia and installer avaialble, installer had no sources available except one lock source, and cydia simply crashes back to the springboard when launching.
I managed to add some more repos into installer by installing a repo package, but a very slim range of apps available. If I try to add repos listed in other sites I either get invalid repo or the apps just wont install, errors with invalid package
This includes adding the source for cydia and attempting to reinstall.
Any ideas on troubleshooting, or should I just re flash. if so, should I restore factory or my backed up config first?
Using Quickpwn 1.1 for OSX and the iPhone1,2_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw firmware.
I have an 8GB iPhone 3G.
Please help.

Not too shabby. Great steaks and rib. At the prices they charge, especially for drinks, they'd better be. Service was very friendly, I enjoyed the atmosphere. Good parking helps as well. Bring some serious cash, though, cause you're gonna need it. Will definately return.
Superb grass fed beef, local farm produce, fresh seafood – Based on its long standing success and excellent reputation, I expected The Boulder Cork to excel in delivering classic steakhouse cuisine in an upscale environment. The traditional decor and the attentive and knowledgeable staff certainly enhanced this impression. And I already knew about the award winning wine list. What I did not expect was the level of sophistication and thoughtfulness the kitchen put into its preparations. The chef's passion for fresh, natural ingredients and culinary details were evident causing our meal to far transcend the typical, upscale steakhouse experience. It was simply the best steak I can remember putting in my mouth including recent offerings at far more expensive locales. And the fresh seafood, local farm vegetables and generous desserts were also prepared to perfection. Bravo!
Good for food, bad for groups – I attended a party in their private backroom that had around 50 people. The room was great, separated from the rest of the diners and very accomodating. The service, however, is the reason I gave this review a 3 instead of a 4. They didn't bring everyone drinks and it took almost 40 minutes for our food to be served. (There were 4 preselected entrees to choose from). This is understandable as there was quite a large group. However they did not serve any appetizers like a salad or bread during the wait so all the guests were very hungry by the time the food arrived. And then even when the food arrived the portions were not very large. I don't need to eat a lot and it was barely enough to satisfy me so I can only guess that some guests were left not fully satisfied.
However, the food is very good and usually for a small group or a couple, it is definitely above average. And the atmosphere, too, is nice.
Fabulous service and food – My husband and I spent our twenty-third anniversary at the Boulder Cork this year. Upon entering the restaurant, the sweet hostess took our coats and hung them safely away in the closet, and took us to a fabulous table in the back of the restaurant next to the fireplace. I would suggest calling ahead for a reservation, as our server and the hostess were well aware that this was to be a very special evening for us, and literally made us feel like royalty.
The prices of the steaks were on the high side, but we are not eating at the outback steak house. Our lovely server Rachael informed us that the steaks were all natural and grass fed, so you pay for what you get. The wine list is out of this world to say the least, and as a wine connoisseur, some of the older vintages are exceptionally low in price considering the restaurant mark up. We ordered a George Latour BV private reserve '96 that was out of this world, and that alone would have made our night until the courses started coming.
My husband and I shared an Arugula & La Quercia Prosciutto salad, which they were happy to split without a split fee (many restaurants do this these days) then my husband got the filet oscar and I the most generous and tasty new york strip, and everything was cooked to perfection. We ordered the sides of asparagus, sauteed mushrooms, and some mashed potatoes. The sides are generous, and great for sharing, and I was so glad that we had the option to choose what we wanted so that we could mix it up a bit.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is willing to pay a little extra for the best quality meats and seafood, enjoy the best wine, have exceptional service, and simply relax and have a fine but not uptight dining experience. This restaurant has been around since 1969, and it shows in their mastery. If you are unsure about where to spend a fabulous evening dining, give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. It is truly a little taste of Boulder history.
Great Quiet Restaurant – It is out of the way, but this makes for easy parking. There are not a lot of stand alone businesses anymore which makes this a nice place to go to. The rustic atmosphere along with the quiet atmosphere makes it so you can spend some quality time with that special someone. The steaks are tender and cooked to perfection every time. The servers pay attention to every detail and are quick to accommodate.
TOO MANY GOOD RESTRAUNTS TO EVER GO BACK – my wife and i have resided in boulder for over 20 yrs. we tried the Cork for the only the second time since moving to boulder.
the food was a hugh dissapointment. portions were very small and the food was pretty much tastless.
service was adequate, although not terribly friendly.
prices are off the charts for what you get. there are too many good restaurants in boulder to ever go to the Cork again.
Though the food is good the staff is unfriendly. – The food is good but the staff and atmosphere ruin the experience. They are overly pretensious for what The Cork is and inattentive. We keep "giving it another shot" because it is near our house, but are dissappointed each time.
Lively atmosphere and consistently good food keep this place hoppin' after more than 30 years. – In Short
The open dining room and lounge feature minimalist Southwestern décor. Rustic pueblo stone walls and exposed wooden beams are lit by small lamps and skylights. After more than 30 years chef Jim Smailer has kept the menu up-to-date without being faddish and still buys many of his ingredients from local farmers. The popular steamed artichoke appetizer and the teriyaki sirloin have been on the menu since the restaurant opened.
User review by fleemanc – This was my first visit to the Cork and I'm glad I went. The Kansas City strip was recommended with good reason. It was one of the finest steaks I've ever eaten. Every bite was exquisitely tender and "buttery." One of the most flavorful cuts of meat I have experienced in years. The potato (described as "kind of like a large french fry") was an excellent match. With the juices from the steak and the crunchy exterior, it was a delicious alternative to the standard mashed or baked potato. The creme brulee, while good, was a little over carmalized. It was more akin to blackened.
Overall price was decent, especially for the quality of the food. I've been to other steak houses that cost nearly twice as much and the quality was not comparable.
When I'm in the area and hunger for steak, the Cork is where I'll go.
