How much variation in size, specialties are in the 5 COSTCO locations in the GTA?
We've just joined (our membership was a gift from a friend) and have been only to the Scarborough location at Warden/Ellesmere. Are all locations about the same? The membership sign-up guy told us that they will be adding a gas bar at this location very soon.
I haven't been to every one in the GTA, but what I can say is, the location near Yorkdale is much bigger than the Scarborough one (it's newer too), while the one in Ajax is small by comparison.
Yorkdale Cafe
1 Yorkdale, Toronto, ON M9M1B9, CA
My husband used to go to the Warden/ Ellesmere one, but I'm not sure why. The one at Islington & Gardiner (Queensway) is much closer. I like it better too, although I'm not sure why. We've also been to the one up near the Colossus. They're all actually fairly similar, I guess, but I like the Queensway one the best.
All locations carry the same base of products, but each of the stores will also carry a selection of goods that may be more popular to their local-group of members. For example, the Costco at Woodbine/Highway 7 may see a higher degree of Asian members which is reflected in their product selections, while the Costco's at Yorkdale and/or Woodbridge (Weston/Highway 7) will see a different segment of the population (more Italian products are carried that I've seen).
Having gone to each of the Costco's within the GTA (from Pickering westwards to the St. Catherine's area), each store has the same selection of goods when it comes to the basics (groceries and whatnot), but it's the specialty selections that will differ.
re: HSz
I would agree with this. Specifically, the Costco at Yorkdale has a large Kosher section, both for meats and products. They have very nice beef short ribs in the meats section. And for holidays, like Passover, they carry the specialty foods. Also the book selection reflects the clientele of the community.
Yorkdale Cafe
1 Yorkdale, Toronto, ON M9M1B9, CA
When gas comes in (springtime, they say) it will be a revelation in prices but there will be line ups, and payment by card (debit or Amex) only.
I've been to most of the ones in the North end -- and sometimes more than one in the same day -- and the differences seem to be minor at best. I see more variation between the same store from month to month than I do between different stores at the same time.
Well some notable differences at least for me between the one near Wilson and queensway location are the Montreal Smoke Meat Pizza and Premiere Maison Bread that is carried by the Wilson location and not Queens Way. Living downtown the Queensway is closer for me but I prefer the Wilson Branch.
My friend who over last weekend mentioned that the Richmond Hill costco was much bigger than the one in Brampton.Maybe the newer stores are bigger than the older ones.
While on the surface they are cookie cutter places, some are clearly better than others.
First of all, as has been mentioned, there is some minor tweaking to suit the local demographic. Also, food court items can vary in selection and quality.
Given my druthers, I'd go to the one across from Yorkdale. I'd go to the one at Ellesmere and Warden last. I've been to just about all of them from Pickering, to St. Catherines to Newmarket.
Yorkdale Cafe

re: Davwud
I agree. Ellesmere/Warden is a royal pain. Insufficient parking, overcrowded inside, insufficient checkouts (so ridiculously long lineups), reduced selection. Ajax is slightly smaller in floor space but usually you can park close and the checkout lines are more bearable. When I used to live in Scarborough and went to the Warden one, some days you'd be in the checkout line for 45 minutes and then another 15 minutes to get by the "security" at the exit door.
Other than U.S. locations, the only non-GTA Costco I've been to is in London (Ontario, next to the 401). It's about as big as the one near Yorkdale.

re: TexSquared
W&E is closest to my God Parents but they head up the 404 to Elgin Mills.

He can in my game, am I missing something?
Minsc is unable to cast spells in the regular game, so there is no issues.
Because base classes are up for revision as well. And if you say "a ranger needs a wisdom of x to cast divine spells" then you are really only affecting 1 ranger in the entire game. And you could argue that Minsc's berserk ability already balances any disability he might get regarding loss of spells.

Gery Chico | Rich Hein~Sun-Times
Updated: July 2, 2013 7:04AM
This is the time of the year when the appeals from worthy causes pour in.
With legislators nearing completion on the state budget before a Friday adjournment deadline, everyone wants their program or agency spared.
And we don't blame them. The last several years were all about cuts, many of them vicious.
But among all causes, one stands above all else: Education. In a letter and an interview with us, State Board of Education Chairman Gery Chico put it best: Good schools, he says, can ease much of what ails us — the need for more jails, extra police, remedial education, job training and more.
Spend on schools today and, long term, you save everywhere else.
The state board has been on a campaign for months to increase state spending on education and reverse cuts made in each of the last four years. Since 2009, the reductions total $861 million, cuts that have led to the loss of 6,400 teachers and aides and 18,000 fewer pre-school slots, Chico says.
The good news, if you can call it that, is that the bleeding will likely stop this year. The education budget, which passed the Senate Wednesday and could face a House vote Thursday, essentially holds education harmless. Funding for early childhood education, bilingual education and transportation will stay at this year's level. Funding for general state aid, which helps level the playing field for poor districts, will get a boost, though that only keeps it at this year's level because of a growing low-income student population. A recap on that startling news: The percentage of low-income Illinois students increased from 38 percent to 49 percent between 2003 and 2012.
Given the state's precarious finances, we see little room to spend significantly more on education today, despite rising standards and greater demands on schools and teachers. But once the state solves its pension problem and passes a gaming bill, education belongs at the front of the line for a much needed boost.

Cass McCombs Tests Masculine Mores in 'Big Wheel' Video
Enigmatic songsmith Cass McCombs returned in 2013 with the double album Big Wheel and Others, which found the man sharpening his trademark wit across 22 tracks. Now the semi-titular song, "Big Wheel," gets its own video directed by cover artist Albert Herter (also behind the artwork for 2011's Wit's End and Humor Risk LPs). Therein, recontextualized found footage flickers by — mimes in a park, a bleeding hand, a hall of mirrors with an infant in the middle — while McCombs takes down our preconceived notions of masculinity: "What does it mean to be a man? How you gonna tell me who I am? / A man bolts a man is rust, for a little while, then the man is dust / A man with a man, how more manly can you get?"Watch above, then revisit the "Morning Star" video, wherein our host queries, "What's it like to shit in space?" So many questions, so little time.
Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers Dead at 74
Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers has died at the age of 74. Excepting a 10-year period beginning in 1973, the singer-guitarist and his brother Don had been an publicly active duo since 1956. Their mark on country music and rock'n'roll — and rockabilly, of course — was immense thanks to songs like "Wake Up Little Susie," "Bye Bye Love," "Cathy's Clown," "All I Have to Do Is Dream," and "Bird Dog," among many others. They joined the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.The Los Angeles Times reports that, according to Phil's wife Patti Everly, the man passed away on Friday, January 3, in Burbank, California due to complications resulting from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. She explained that the ailment was an effect of his being a lifelong cigarette smoker. "We are absolutely heartbroken," she said.
Deadmau5 Wants VIP Clubbers to Stop Being Douchebags
Deadmau5 rang in the new year with a January gig show at Mansion, one of Miami's major beachfront nightclubs — and it's a mistake he won't make again. Though a star in the dance music world, the man born Joel Zimmerman isn't a VIP-kinda dude, and has a reputation for not suffering fools, be they fans or fellow music-makers. He wound up cutting his Wednesday night set short after attendees up front refused to put their cell phones away. He then hit Twitter and Instagram:Lol at the entire front row glued to their fucking phones. Much party. Many text. Wow— deadmau5 (@deadmau5) January 2, 2014As Prefix reports, Deadmau5 followed up on a subscription-based section of his site: "I fucking reamed out my agent for making me deal with that...

Ad-Rock and Ben Gibbard Score Sundance Films About LSD and Growing Up
The annual Sundance Film Festival returns to Park City, Utah, on January 16 bringing with it plenty of highlights for music fans, from Memphis starring Willis Earl Beal, to the fictionalized Nick Cave documentary 20,000 Days on Earth. But now, some unexpected news: Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard scores a new film called Laggies, and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz scores another dubbed No No: A Dockumentary.The former is directed by Lynn Shelton (Humpday, The New Girl) and will star Keira Knightley, Sam Rockwell, and Chloë Grace Moretz, among others. The Sundance film guide describes the feature as "a coming-of-age story about a 28-year-old woman stuck in permanent adolescence." Meanwhile the Beastie Boys co-founder will take on the legendary tale of Dock Ellis, the MLB pitcher who threw a no-hitter while on acid.Both soundmen have scored films before, as Indiewire points out.
Future Flies the Friendly Skies in 'Maison Margiela' Video
In his recent interview with SPIN, rapper/singer Future spoke on his love for outer space. He again takes to the skies in his new video for "Maison Margiela," though this time he stays within the atmosphere (physically speaking, at least). Seen above, the Atlanta Auto-Tune guru rhymes about Rosetta Stones and cashmere sweaters from inside of a private jet, then visits the hangar to blow smoke with buddies. It's not as showy as the clip for the man's Miley Cyrus team-up, "Real and True," but Future has enough inherent glitz that the sheen isn't missed. DJ Spinz and Metro Boomin produce. No word yet as to whether or not this one will land on the long-anticipated Honest LP.
The 15 Best Music Documentaries Streaming on Netflix Now

With the Oscars approaching, and Sundance set to unleash a new slate of films later this month, it's a fine time to look back anyhow.
Def Leppard Won't Sue One Direction So Stop Asking Already
It's no secret that the titular single from One Direction's platinum-selling Midnight Memories album strongly evokes Def Leppard classic "Pour Some Sugar on Me." Our own reviewer wrote of the LP, "Maybe Louis Tomlinson — whose name dominates the credits — has a hair-metal playlist in which Def Leppard dominates." And when "Midnight Memories" came out, British tabloid Mirror UK started a rumor that the English rock giants were suing their boyish countrymen.That wasn't true then, and it's not true now. TMZ spotted drummer Rick Allen doing a little New Year's shopping and asked the one-armed skinsman about the trumped-up drama. "I see the similarity," he said cheerily, "but those three chords have been used for decades. It's not new. And if anything, we felt as if it's a huge compliment.
Ray Davies Says Kinks Reunion Is 'As Close as It's Ever Been'
Ray Davies says a proper Kinks reunion is "as close as it's ever been to happening." The frontman, co-founder, and songwriter of the iconic British Invasion band teases the possibility in the latest issue of Uncut alongside the group's remaining original members: brother and guitarist Dave Davies, and drummer Mick Avory, who the magazine says are "mainly positive" about coming back together. Bassist Pete Quaife passed away in 2010. The Kinks last played for the public in 1996.It's worth noting that Ray released his second autobiography, Americana: The Kinks, The Riff, The Road, in October. But his brother Dave — who had a new solo album, I Will Be Me, in 2013 — is, well, mainly positive.
Clay Aiken Reportedly Wants to Run for Congress
Clay Aiken is "actively considering" running for office in 2014. According to The Washington Blade, the American Idol favorite is looking at North Carolina's 2nd Congressional District, eying the historically Democratic seat currently held by Republican representative Renee Ellmers. Of course, we already know the man can get votes — he was a close runner-up in Idol's second season in 2003. As long a Ruben Studdard doesn't enter the race, he may have a shot at this thing.Aiken, 35, is a Raleigh native, a father to a five-year-old son, a many-times-platinum singer, a tireless advocate for many charities, and — not for nothing — an openly gay Southern Baptist. In 2006, George W. Bush appointed him to the Presidential Committee for People With Intellectual Disabilities. He's also traveled to Afghanistan, Africa, and Mexico as a UNICEF National Ambassador.
Rick Ross Sues LMFAO for Shufflin' Over His Hustlin'
As noted earlier today, Rick Ross' legal horizon is looking a bit brighter in 2014. A judge only just ruled that the Maybach Music Group bawse can continue to rap about fake cocaine sales using a real drug dealer's name (that'd be the infamous "Freeway" Ricky Ross).

Click above to view video after the jump
By now we've all seen the myriad number of spy shots showing Acura's prototype for the 2010 NSX running around the Nurburgring in Germany. We've also heard the news that Honda CEO Fukui-san wants his NSX to beat any lap times at the 'Ring set by the Nissan GT-R and Lexus LF-A. Thanks to our friends at BridgetoGantry.com, we now have video of the NSX prototype on a short stretch of the 'Ring, and fortunately the audio quality is good enough that you can hear the wail of whatever's underneath the car's hood. As we've mentioned before, what will power the NSX is at this point speculation, but most reports say it will be a 5.5L V10 with iVTEC producing prodigious amounts of horsepower, somewhere in the neighborhood of 500+. Check out the video after the jump and view our collection of NSX spy shots in the gallery below.

November 23, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) - ABC says Isaiah Washington will return to "Grey's Anatomy" for a guest appearance in May, seven years after he was fired from the medical drama.
Washington exited the series in 2007 after an on-set clash the year before, in which an anti-gay epithet was directed at another cast member at the time, T.R. Knight.
Washington's return as Dr. Preston Burke coincides with the announced departure of series star Sandra Oh at the season's end in May. Her character, Dr. Cristina Yang, was engaged to Washington's Burke at one point in the long-running drama.
The date of Washington's episode was not announced.
During the controversy involving him, Washington also used the epithet backstage at the 2007 Golden Globe awards. He publicly apologized and tried to make amends by meeting with gay-rights organizations.

Daughter reveals Vermont woman's secret to longevity
BERLIN – One of the oldest people in Vermont died Friday at the age of 106 and her daughter said the secret to her longevity was staying positive.
Although Carmen Sorbanelli father lived to be 96 years old and mother lived to be 87, she was the first in her family to live past 100, according to her daughter Dolores Reinecke.
"She never smoked or drank and ate a rather healthy diet, but if you asked her why she lived so long she'd say, 'Because I smile,'" Reinecke said.
Reinecke said one of Sorbanelli's favorite stories was when she was working at a polling station in Hudson County, N.J. in the
1930s. Sorbanelli was worried about people taking ballots out of the ballot box so her solution was to sit on the box.
"She would say that was the only time there was an honest election in Hudson county," Reinecke said laughingly.
Reinecke remembered the first time her mother flew in the 1980s. She said they were going to Hawaii and when the plan flew over a volcano Reinecke closed her eyes and gripped the armrests in fear, while her mother had a different reaction.
She was relaxed and happy. She loved every new adventure," Reinecke said.
Flying is a part of Sorbanelli's family history. Reinecke claimed Sorbanelli's father, Vincent Raschella, had flown an airplane he had built in Italy before the Wright brothers made their historic flight in 1903.
The New York Public Library has some of Raschella's documents and describe him as an artist and aeronautic inventor of gliders and dirigibles. According to documents at the library, Raschella flew one of his hang gliders named "The Falcon" over 200 ft. in 1889.

An assemblage of youth gathers to compete, unleashing prepared and extemporaneous raps and other poetry that ranges in quality from borderline brilliant to painfully lame. The Spam Allstars attempt to accommodate the performers with music to suit their spoken words. The atmosphere is supportive of all types of risk-taking and experimentation, with spontaneous poetry slams occurring inside and outside the club. On those occasions when the band and a performer click, Faatland Tuesdays achieves the sublime.

New attendance boundaries are needed in the USD 259 school district, but before those lines can be determined, a lot of options are in play.
"To be able to factor all those things into one, that's where I think the challenge is going to be," said Betty Arnold, USD 259 BOE president.
Factors like diversity, finances, communities, roads, rivers and land use are all current options.
The current population and the projected future population of each area of the district, also plays a huge role in whether schools will remain open or closed.
"None of us like to think of having to close schools, but given where we are economically, realistically, I know that may be a possibility, and again, we're going to have to rely on what the data tells us, as well as community input to see exactly what their feelings are," said Arnold.
Another decision school officials will look at with the help of a private consulting firm, is whether five brand new schools should see delayed openings next Fall.
The schools were part of the bond issue plan passed in 2008.
Coming off of a decision to cut about $30 million from next year's budget, the district would spend nearly $12 million in start-up costs to open the five schools.
Operating expenses could cost the district as much as $24 million every year.
"It wasn't on any of our radar that we'd be faced with the economical challenges that we're faced with," said Arnold. "Those are things that we really are waiting for the public weigh-in to see what's important to them."

I can't believe that we finally got porn superstar Katie Banks finally on Free Monster Curves porn. I mean, I consider this chick and her incredible 30I-24-36 breasts to be one of the reasons I got into the porn in the first place! I just love it how this Canadian babe is so relaxed and comfortable with her body. In fact, I'd have to say watching Katie Banks on this Hot Lesbians Fuck Cock video is one of the biggest highlights of my year! Check it out today, and you'll feel the same way!
I love this free stripper titty fucking video that we have for you today here on Free Monster Curves. I mean, this chick just looks so incredible, and since she's a stripper she knows all of the hot, graceful moves that she can do to a dude's dick to get it as hard as possible! It's not been since the last time I watched that Cum in Pussy Video on Monster Curves that I have seen a chick so comfortable with her body...especially when she's on her knees giving a blow job! Check it out today, only on Monster Curves!
See the best porn in the world for just $1!
Have you ever seen anything quite as beautiful as this Free Monster Curves threesome video? Well, other than that Free Monster Curves threesome video that we showed to you earlier this week. Anyways, this movie is still pretty hot and features more sexy deepthroat porn than you can shake a stick at! I really love it when in the porn videos both chicks get really in sync and just figure out the best way to please each other and their male partner...something about it really puts a smile on my face!
Guess what we have for you today on Monster Curves? If you guess that we have a shitload of hot babes doing a birthday sex threesome, then you guessed correctly! Either that or you looked at the photos or read the title of this post. Either way, this naked doggy style sex movie is one of the kinkiest, raunchiest movies that Monster Curves has ever done and if you miss out on it, well, you're missing out on double penetration action with a babe who happens to own a strap-on! Check out this hot porn movie today!
We've got three curvy bodies intertwining with each other on today's Monster Curves curvy body threesome video! It's so incredible to watch all of that amazing flesh just slam against each other, and I have been watching it all week instead of doing the work that I've been assigned to do. I've got to say, I find this video to be better than even that classic naked doggy style sex video we did a while back! It's just so fucking good!
Holy fuck, have you had a chance to see this brand new Monster Curves video yet? Because if you haven't,you should be warned that it will utterly blow your mind! The footage that you will see in this naked doggy style sex video are so fucking intense, that I don't know how it is legal! I mean, everything in it is kosher and everything, I just think that the screaming orgasm that this chick breaks out into halfway into the film has to be breaking some FCC violations when it comes to causing interference with electronic devices. Be warned - your speakers MIGHT blow out if you have them on full blast!

- Not recommendingDivadogVIPDined on 11/14/2014Had dinner 11/15 and were very disappointed. I had chopped chicken salad. The salad was wilted and had little flavor. The chicken on top had no seasoning. Other person had fish and chips which were soggy. Don' think we will be back.
- seafoodPeteDined on 11/9/2014All entrees are exceptional, fresh and well prepared. Vegetables are never overcooked. Service is above average.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- As usual !!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/9/2014We went on a day they gave veterans a free meal, from select but extensive menu. The place jammed. Despite this the service was excellent. The meal was slower to arrive than usual. But, considering the crush it was great. food spot onSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A good deed by hostDrockyDined on 11/9/2014It is so nice that M & S takes care of us veterans. I was not impressed with the tilapia dish I had. Very dull. The side dish was also disappointing. My friends hamburger was just so-so. The tri tips were good according to my friend. My GF's fried shrimp was very good., The onion soup excellent. Bread was very good.Special Features:
- Veteran's Day SpecialAirForceRetiredDined on 11/9/2014Even though the restaurant was taking a financial hit with all the free meals for vets, they maintained quality and service throughout. We added appetizers & dessert to round off the total meal. Everything was excellent. Thanks to M&S for this annual benefit. M&S has become our go-to-restaurant whenever we are going to a show on the LV Strip. It's not as hectic as the hotel/casino restaurants, and an excellent dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RobinRobinDined on 11/9/2014Great food and service. First time dining experience.Special Features:
- Tasty Veterans meals again this year! Thanks!!RetiredVeteranVerenaDined on 11/9/2014Great fresh seafood again this year free for Veterans Day! I arranged for 3 Veterans to come and enjoy the food this year and added 2 family members who were visiting from Detroit. All thoroughly enjoyed the private room accommodations and food. I was really shocked that it wasn't standing room only as it was last year. So it was much better and no crowding! Our service was delightful and our waitress was the best!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- steak & sea foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/9/2014This is one of the best places I have been too in Las Vegas. Food, service, and atmosphere are great. But the thing I like most is the location; close to the strip, but away enough to enjoy a peaceful dinning experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/9/2014Food was good, although missing spices. Small entrée potion.Special Features:

- Birthday dinner for wifeRon1Dined on 11/8/2014Service was a little slow... I believe the waiter was new tthough. Everyone enjoyed the food... It was spectacular!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good steakPhilDined on 11/6/2014My wife and I out for her birthday. Her steak came overcooked. Meanwhile I ate my dinner completely prior to hers arriving with a new steak -prepared properly the second time. So we both went to dinner together and ended up eating separately. Food was good and a better price than Morton's. Steak was very good. Service was fine and not pushy.Special Features:
- did not have a table for usOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/4/2014made the reservation through open table and they did not have one available for our group when we got there. hostess said we were already seated. they then seated our group at the bar at separate tables. food came very slow and was cold when we got it.
- Great food, adaquate atmosphereSEMAdinerDined on 11/4/2014The meal and service are fantastic, but the ambiance falls a little short of the mark. Temperature in the restaurant was too warm, the chairs are vinyl covered and uncomfortable, and the décor in the room is a little dark and dated. But I would return because the chef knows how to cut and cook an excellent steak.Special Features:
- HewyDined on 11/3/2014Outstanding food and service. The occasion was a business dinner and the outcome could not have been any better. I will be making plans to dine here again when in Las Vegas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a great mealLVCindyDined on 11/3/2014We always have a great experience here. Excellent selection of well prepared fish (and my husband had a delicious steak). The service is always great, this time is was outstanding. The manager came over to make sure everything was alright with our meal. The wait staff was friendly, courteous, helpful. We wanted to linger to visit with our guest, the wait staff was great about it. I can't say enough nice things about our experience here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/2/2014It was very nice except for the fact I didn't get what I ordered. They offered to make it right but I chose to keep what the server brought.
- Excellent FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/2/2014Had a group of 6, and the food was fantastic. Will go again next time in Vegas!I would recommend this to a friend.

- Another Very Good MealhrhlvDined on 11/1/2014Food and service were very good. Quality of seafood is always excellent. Portions a little small, I was disappointed to only get 4 scallops in my entree. Adult beverages were excellent. Have eaten here many times and am always satisfied and I'm sure I will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a pleasant experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014Enjoyed our dining experience again on my friends' birthday. We were able to have a pleasant conversation up until a large group was seated right next to us which ended the relaxing spirit of our party. Why seat such a large group next to us when the restaurant had many empty tables elsewhere.? Why cluster customers together like this? The food was good as usual. The complimentary birthday cake was excellent. Thank you.Special Features:
- Patio DiningProfMooresVIPDined on 10/24/2014Ate on the patio, mistake, big mistake. Our server, Lydia, was working the patio and bar areas. Took a long time for her to take our order and even longer to get refills on drinks. After we finished our meal we waited 30 minutes on our check without her coming by our table to even offer a refill. The stuffed shrimp entree was excellent and the upside-down apple pie for dessert was fantastic. A great place to eat, but don't eat on the patio!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 10/21/2014Atmosphere was nice. Food was excellent and service was great.Special Features:
- Really enjoyableBillandChuckDined on 10/20/2014Considering we booked the restaurant by mistake (we'd wanted to return to Smith & Wollinsky but got our & steakhouses confused!) we had an outstanding meal here! The service - Kristin - was beyond excellent. The food - appealing and tasty. It was a great time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It was OK but!IlikefoodDined on 10/20/2014Food was well prepared and as ordered. The wedge salad was very good but the main course of 4 small scallops was disappointing.
- Great off Strip LocationFoodnutVIPDined on 10/17/2014Food was good as in the past, overall happy with their menu and quality. This time specifically the service was very lacklaster, entree's got mixed up and serer seemed very unsure of menu items as we asked questions. Was either new or totally distracted... Never got a chance to pay the bill with our credit card, so had to leave cash as we were waiting forever for her to come back. Very different then last time i came, here, then service was superb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ServiceSuperEaterDined on 10/15/2014We Ate both Chefs choice dishes. The salmon and swordfish were both cooked perfectly with fresh vegetables. Tithe clam chowder was very tasty with all the right spices. The server, Michael, was very thorough and had a pleasant personality. We would recommend if u r looking for a nice seafood dinnerSpecial Features:
- auntjean1Dined on 10/14/2014The service was and food was poor. We were a party of 8. The steaks and fish over cooked. Service poor. Ordered wine which had to be reminded to open and serve after the entrees were served.
- Mixed bagDogmomof4Dined on 10/11/2014The restaurant service was wonderful, however, the meal was a mixed bag of terrific and mediocre. Our appetizer of "shrimp kisses" was unique and exceptional. One cocktail (bloody Mary) was outstanding while the other (rum and Coke) was watery. Desserts - bananas foster and a warm apple pie were also great...however, main entrees...we both got the beef medallions and lobster tail was a major disappointment. The lobster tail was over cooked, dry and "crunchy" while the beef was bland and tasteless. Accompanying fingerling potatoes were mixed - some cooked well and others were spongy. We'll go back, but the restaurant should really rethink this entree.Special Features:
- jchoDined on 10/9/2014excellant service and food. Overall noise level was moderate and the ambience was very good.Special Features:
- Outstanding!!SCABobDined on 10/9/2014I had the Swordfish Casino and it was outstanding. The service was also outstanding. They have a great menu that offers lots of options for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatscoodleDined on 10/7/2014McCormick and Schmick never disappoints. They are a great restaurant that takes care with the food. I wish the wine serving were bigger, but it was nice and cold and I was still pleased. I was on a business dinner with some work colleagues and they all loved it as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a great place.MikeDined on 10/5/2014As always our dinner was excellent. The steak and lobster special was great as was the filea mignon. Both steaks were cooked to perfection. They were very accommodating with a senior citizen that was with us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beyond the Las Vegas StripSimplemeDined on 10/4/2014Not all the "best" restaurants are on the Las Vegas Strip. Unless, perhaps, the "best" restaurants are those with unique offerings such as goose liver or bone marrow and quite expensive such that a cheeseburger costs $28. McCormick & Schmick's is located near but not on the Las Vegas Strip. It is quiet, and you can enjoy a romantic dinner or conversation with friends. The food is nicely prepared and flavorful. The service is very friendly and efficient.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food...excellent serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/1/2014Our dinner was great, food was prepared exactly as ordered and the service was fabulous!Special Features:
- Swordfish white, Salmon PinkSwordfishVIPDined on 9/28/2014Mew chef, there only 3 months. Salmon was served but swordfish had been ordered. Slight discussion with server who tried to convince me it was swordfish but finally confirmed the kitchen used the wrong fish and the swordfish was eventually brought. Although took the cost of the salmon off was slightly surprised not even an offer of dessert was made but still overall well cooked food and a nice atmosphere. Suggest dim lights by 7pm though. Makes for better ambiance for dinner service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BIRTHDAY DINNERPEACHESDined on 9/26/2014THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME AND MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ENJOYED THE FOOD AS WELL AS THE SERVICES. WE WOULD GLADLY BE ATTENDING AGAIN FOR LUNCH THIS TIME TO SEE HOW THAT IS. IF IT ANYTHING LIKE DINNER YOU GOT IT HANDS DOWN, THUMBS UP!!!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Won't hurry backDutdeterDined on 9/15/2014Upon arrival at 7:00 pm, the restaurant which was once a hot spot was now empty. Now I know why! The restaurant appearance was very nice since the remodel, the service very good but seemed robotic, and the food ok. Dessert was the highlight!! For the price, there are so many better choices. I won't be back.
- Our favorite mc and SchmickfcmkDined on 9/14/2014Of all of thee McCormick and Schmick restaurants we've been to this is our favorite. The food is always well prepared and the service is very good.I would recommend this to a friend.

Sometimes there is very good reason to be afraid of the dark….
Eleven-year-old Arlen lives with his parents on their small farmstead, half a day's ride from the isolated hamlet of Tibbet's Brook. As dusk falls upon Arlen's world, a strange mist rises from the ground; a mist that promises a violent death to any foolish enough to brave the coming darkness, for hungry corelings - demons that cannot be harmed by mortal weapons - materialize from the vapours to feed on the living. As the sun sets, people have no choice but to take shelter behind magical wards and pray that their protection holds until the creatures dissolve with the first signs of dawn.
When Arlen's life is shattered by the demon plague, he is forced to see that it is fear, rather than the demons, that truly cripples humanity. Believing that there is more to his world than to live in constant fear, he must risk leaving the safety of his wards to discover a different path.
In the small town of Cutter's Hollow, Leesha's perfect future is destroyed by betrayal and a simple lie. Publicly shamed, she is reduced to gathering herbs and tending an old woman more fearsome than the corelings. Yet in her disgrace, she becomes the guardian of dangerous ancient knowledge.
Orphaned and crippled in a demon attack, young Rojer takes solace in mastering the musical arts of a Jongleur, only to learn that his unique talent gives him unexpected power over the night.
Together, these three young people will offer humanity a last, fleeting chance of survival.

"Great book"
From get go it was interesting, towards the end on the first part it sounded like whats happening, where are we, what we talking about, but then it all gets cleared up. Every time I paused the book due to me having to do something else I was always left wanting more, the story pulls you into the 3 characters lives, I will be going onto the second book tonight, I am very keen to continue the story :) I really hope the the 3rd book is released before I finish the second. Also, I really liked this Narrator, he is absolutly brilient, well fitted to the book. I hope he does lots more, of this type of book FICTION like the Raymond Fiest books etc. Although he may have done more of them I just probly can't see them due to me being in NZ, the publishers won't release the Raymond E Fiest Audio Books here for some reason, and a substantial amount of other books I am interested in. Anyway I HIGHLY recommend this book :)
exceptionally well read
Leesha; her character develops closest to her original motives of honesty and her hunger for freedom.
All of them. Joyce is a brilliant reader.
Currently listening to the second book and can't wait for the third to be released.
"Good but not great"
Generally, I found this book enjoyable to listen to. While the narrator has a nice voice, I found him a bit patchy at first. He wasn't always consistent with the voices, in particular any older people kept randomly developing Texan accents for some reason. But I felt he settled into it by the second half of the book.
The best thing about this book is the interesting and original premise. Demons rise from the ground each sundown and rule the night, while humans huddle in warded buildings. You really get a sense of how people's lives and society as a whole has been completely shaped by this and particularly by their fear of it, which is one of the main points of the story.
I thought the author's writing style was a bit clumsy and both the writing and the characters a little on the simplistic side. It is all laid out in a pretty straightforward manner. There weren't any points where I had to stop and ponder the implications of something that had been revealed, or connect the dots myself. I like some layers in a book and this really didn't have them. To be fair, I was listening to this at the same time as reading Guy Gavriel Kay and most authors sound clumsy and simplistic compared to him!
My final criticism is that towards the end of the book, I started finding the main characters and their reactions to events less and less plausible. There is a sense that the author had a plan for certain events to happen before the end of the book and that after so much time spent building up the characters, he suddenly had to wrap it up.
So one of the characters has something especially traumatic happen to them. They have a bit of a cry and then are apparently completely recovered within a day or two. Various events happen with only flimsy explanations as to why and characters do things that seem rather random.
So it seems I do have a fair few things I didn't like about this book. But did I enjoy listening to it? Yes. Did these things annoy me to the point I wanted to stop? No, although I did have to pause it to have a rant about some of the events near the end.
I feel there are certainly much better fantasy audiobooks out there. I listened to The Lies of Locke Lamora before this and it was brilliant (and this suffered by comparison). But if you have already listened to some others and are looking for something new, give this a go.
"absolutely riveting"
Great narrator, who brought the story of the painted man to life. I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book one of the best I've listened to thus far
"Narrater change in book 3!!!!!!!"
Right first of this book is good and so is the second one
But before you use your credit on it go listen to the first two samples
Then go listen to book three sample
Yep half way through a series they change from a british reader to an American.
The English bloke in the first mis pronounces corelings to what sounds like coralings and this has wound up mr bret sooooo much that he will not let Joyce do anymore.
He also say he mispronounces other names.
But let me tell you, although he says coralings instead of corelings, he also puts on great voices that if your like me, and don't rember names to well, help so much as you know who said what straight away.
He gives the warriors who live in the desert a Arab like accsent and for the Greenlanders a more country feel.
It all sounded right to me
But aparently not to mr Brett, (who is the first to big up his book by righting a review about how good his books are) and who has decided that he wants things done his way now he has a bit of success, and sod the Brits.
I like it when I find a British narrator and hate it when they change them.
So do your self a favour and see if you can take the change before starting.
And if you can't stand it then I say try joe Abercrombie or the king killer chronicles as the at least have the decency to stick to one narrator who's British.
"happily disappears into this for hours"
Not since Name of the Wind have I been drawn into a book so happily....
I love my epic fantasies, and although I'm only one book into this trilogy, looking at other reviewers comments, I'm really hoping the standard will hold through the next two books.
Brandon Sanderson, George RRMartin , Robert Jordan and Patric Rothfuss have delivered my favourite fantasy listens over the last few years (ably assisted by superb narrators), and I'm now happy to add Peter Brett to my list of authors to search by.
A new world to learn about -this one dominated by demons. There is magic, but in an "art form" of wards rather than some intangible "one has the power" approach, which is a refreshing change. Characters are all good, and likeable, and the story is just getting interesting now......and as I type this, I'm downloading book two.....too much still to happen to end the listening now......
Very much worth a listen to, but you won't be satisfied if you want a full story in one book - this first book is, in effect, just the first (long) chapter.
"Generally good"
This book really was good, and it had me downloading book two right away. I do however, have some concerns about some of the subject matter. For instance at one point a woman is raped by 3 outlaws and within 24 hours she is 'making love' . There were quite a few instances such as this which were weird, jarring and totally out of context. If these were removed I would say it was an excellent book, but these weird sexual oddities exist so it is simply a good book.
"Loved It"
Demons only come out at night - Humans hiding behind their wards - loved the story and the narration.
"Slow To start"
This is a slow starting Book but stay with it its gets so much better, well worth the 1 credit to download, the only thing that lets it down for me is the Narrator He is clearly struggling with the vioce changes from male to female Im looking forward to its second book this month, on this book it takes a little time to catch up to the point of where the title came from but all in all good start to a trilogy
"Brlliant , loved this."
Having just finished the epic Wheel of Time series i was looking for something to fill the massive hole left. My first 3 purchases were just not up to it and i was beginning to despair. Then i found a mention of this book left by another reader who classed it with " A wise mans fears" (which i already have to and really enjoyed) so i thought i would give it a try. Wow, brilliant really enjoyed this easy to listen to book . Wonderful story line, keeps you engaged all the way and not just for ardent fans of fantasy, at certain points had to stop what i'm doing to give it all my attention and with just an hour left to listen to have already downloaded no 2 and 3. Well worth a try , i did and it was money well spent .
"The Painted Man : Demon Trilogy, Book 1"
Amazing Book Loved Loved Loved it, The narrator did a fantastic job taking me on a journey fantastic well done Peter V Brett
"The Best Fantasy fiction book I have read tis Year"
Great characters, Brilliant Magic system and a very well told story with superb prose and Narration. This Book exceeded my expectations and I was thrilled to to learn that there is a second book, the Desert Spear as well which is also a fantastic book to experience through audio.
This book puts you through many emotions with some excellent victory moments. The story will appeal to both Men and Women and is filled with adventure, discover and adult themes. This is NOT a boys slice and dice the dragon type of book.
The only down side is that I will have to wait for the third book expected next year March....and there are 5 books in the series.
If you like reading Fantasy fiction, you need to experience this book. Peter V Brett has established himself as one of today top new wave fantasy fiction writers that have emerged over the last 5 years.
Thank you Peter V Brett for crafting a excellent adventure. and Thank you Peter Joyce for the colour added to the characters voices. You Sir, are a superb Narator.
Highly recommended!
"Epic and engadging"
Fantastic story, brilliantly written and thoroughly entertaining.
"Frustrating and disappointing"
To be fair, I started listening to this after listening to the King Killer Chronicles and may be more critical because it was a huge come down from the quality of those books. (If you like fantasy and haven't purchased them yet my advice would be to stop reading this review and look at them instead.) The story though not really anything new, has potential and the narrator, while not the best I've heard, does a good job.
However, after the first half hour, the story left me wanting to chuck my much loved mp4 player out the window, just to be rid of it. The quality of the writing completely lets the whole thing down. I can live with stereotypical characters but not with having he said or so and so said, repeated six or more times at the start of consecutive sentences (to make sure I'm not being unfair I think there is an occasional asked, mused and questioned in there, to add some variety). I have no idea how this ever got past an editor but it grates even more in audio where it is impossible to skim as you can when reading. To make things worse, after reading another review, I found out that the narrator was changed to one I did not like by the third book and so the series lost one of the few things in it's favor.
I'm going to try and persevere with this as according to the reviews it gets better and I've already spent the credit but if a reasonable standard of writing is important to you, I'd look elsewhere.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

It has been my utmost pleasure to work at this station and to fulfill a passion to help young children succeed in school," commented Ana. She went on to add, "it's of utmost importance that we teach kids the critical thinking skills to make the best choices. It's been part of our mission at WQPT to do so, and I wish to thank our many partners, sponsors, funders and viewers for their continued support of our outreach workshops, classroom visits and literacy sites."
WQPT's General Manager, Mary Pruess commented, "on behalf of the station, our viewers, and countless educators and children's lives she (Ana) has touched, I would like to thank her for the exceptional work, dedication and leadership she has brought to WQPT's Educational Outreach.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier has ordered the temporary closing of a nightclub where an actor who played a gang member on the television series "The Wire" was stabbed.
Anwan Glover was treated for non-life-threatening injuries after he was stabbed at Cafe Asia, a downtown club, early Sunday morning. The 41-year-old actor told investigators that someone punched him and kicked him repeatedly, and he was stabbed while on the floor of the establishment.
On Monday, Lanier ordered Cafe Asia to be closed for four days. She cited 22 incidents since June 2011 that have led to police being called there. She's also asking that the club's license to sell alcohol be revoked.
Glover, who lives in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, most recently appeared in the Oscar-winning movie "12 Years a Slave."

High food prices, a currency in freefall, battered investors and slowing growth: India is facing a host of problems that have taken away the sheen from an economy that's had a decade of mostly strong growth.
Some of those problems are also hitting other key emerging markets, including Brazil, China and Russia. These so-called BRIC countries have been critical to driving the global economy in recent years, and they generally fared better than most other nations during the global economic downturn that hit in 2008.
They are all still growing, but not at rates they have been accustomed to.
Meanwhile, some of the world's developed countries, which were hard hit in recent years, are showing signs of life. The U.S. is growing, and the European Union and Japan are doing a bit better as well.
Here's a look at the shifting economic fortunes:
India, Bloomberg noted in an opinion piece, faces "a crisis of credibility." The process of economic reform that began in the 1990s, it said, "has ground to a halt." Corruption, red tape and subsidies are only one part of the problem.
India faces serious structural problems: As Mark Mobius of the investment firm Franklin Templeton told GlobalPost: "The surprising thing is the government doesn't seem to be acting with any degree of urgency."
Recent protests reflected the frustrations many felt at rising prices and a slowing economy. The Wall Street Journal reported that Brazil would "remain a drag on the rest of the world for the next few years."
"The economy remains reliant on consumption, mainly fueled by credit, both of which are showing signs of exhaustion. Industry remains stagnant, and, for the last four months, unemployment has crept up from historical lows. Most worryingly, the hefty investments needed to overhaul Brazil's ramshackle infrastructure aren't coming through," the Journal said.
China's double-digit economic growth over the past 15 years lifted millions out of poverty, and vaulted it to the world's second-largest economy. Chinese products fill shelves in the U.S. and elsewhere, and Chinese companies have invested billions of dollars across the world.
But, as NPR's Jim Zarroli reported recently, the Asian nation also faces a slowdown, partly caused by the global economic crisis but also because it's trying to move from an economy built on government spending to one based on consumer consumption.
Growth in Russia has fallen for six consecutive quarters. It was growing at an annual rate of just 1.2 percent between April and June. Those numbers come after a decade of mostly strong growth, which was credited to tight monetary policy and fiscal discipline.
But now that its economy is sputtering, those same policies are being criticized. Russia analyst Mark Adomanis noted in Quartz that "though Russia has some significant domestic problems … towards the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013, a broad swathe of countries in eastern Europe, including Russia and Ukraine, all started to weaken economically."
In other words, Russia may be feeling the effects of a region-wide slowdown.
The U.S. and EU meanwhile are still recovering from the fallout of the 2008 economic crisis, but are showing early signs of recovery. As The New York Times noted:
"Even the most optimistic forecasts do not see the United States or Europe reaching the double-digit levels of growth that China and India have enjoyed over the last decade. Analysts are expecting that growth in the United States will rise from less than 2 percent this year to nearly 3 percent next year. Because the developed economies still account for nearly 60 percent of the global economy, even a slower pace of growth can provide more economic activity than faster growth in the developing world."
But, the newspaper said, even that modest growth could be imperiled if China's economic problems become worse.
