MS to begin deploying final EU browser ballot March 1st
In an early morning blog post Friday, Microsoft Deputy General Counsel Dave Heiner announced that final field testing of the company's Web browser ballot screen for European Windows customers (XP, Vista, and Windows 7) is under way now. The goal is to have a fully operational ballot screen by March 1 -- a week from Monday.
"External testing of the choice screen will begin next week in three countries: the United Kingdom, Belgium and France," Heiner reported. "Anyone in those countries who wishes to test it can download the browser choice screen software update from Windows Update. We plan to begin a phased roll-out of the update across Europe the week of March 1."
Heiner's post offered two very small renditions of what the browser ballot should look like. A careful study of these photos by Betanews indicates that these screenshots might not have been taken consecutively, assuming Heiner's description is accurate.
As the rollout is currently being planned, Windows-based PC whose update features are set to automatic, will download the program that gives users the browser choice. At next bootup, if any version of Internet Explorer is pinned to the Windows 7 taskbar, it will be automatically unpinned. The screenshots show Windows 7. We do not know whether Vista-based systems with IE attached to their Quick Launch bars (a feature replaced in Windows 7 by the new taskbar) will unattach these icons as well, although since the process by which a program pins and unpins icons to these two devices is similar, it's safe to forecast that Vista users will notice IE icons missing as well.
This will not mean IE is uninstalled. After the user reads the introductory screen (which explains why IE was unpinned, and gives the user an option to pin it back), the ballot screen appears. Here, just as Microsoft's previous public rendition of the browser ballot indicated, the world's top five Windows Web browser titles will appear in equally-sized vertical slots along the top row, with a second group of randomly organized titles made visible by scrolling to the right. What's different about this latest rendition (we apologize for the screenshot not being any larger or clearer) is that the obvious Internet Explorer controls, including the menu bar and search bar, are removed from this ballot.
However, at least in this rendition, the IE icon reappears in both the title bar and the address bar, which does remain. Microsoft's picture of the introductory panel shows the address bar missing, and the icon for the ballot being not the IE icon but a generic ballot icon Microsoft has used before -- for instance, with generic Control Panel components. In its browser ballot screenshot, not only does the icon reappear but IE is re-pinned to the Windows 7 taskbar.
The reason this actually matters (whether there's a blue IE icon in the corner or not) is because it was believed to have been a topic of complaint by opponents to Microsoft's original proposition for a browser ballot, which was later revised to look more like this one. If the second rendition is accurate, such a complaint could arise again, hopefully not pushing Microsoft past its current March 1 deadline for full deployment.
Heiner does not mention in his blog post whether this process would enable IE to be uninstalled. Based on our understanding of how Windows works, this will probably not be possible from the browser ballot, specifically if the user currently has IE7 or earlier versions. Although IE8 now can be uninstalled, no such procedure exists for IE7 and older versions. However, IE6 and IE7 can be upgraded to IE8 which, when uninstalled, should not leave too many traces of older browser parts strewn about the system directories. Still, that's a process that everyday users should perhaps avoid.

Use Indiegogo to start up your business and crowdfund your products or services. Crowdfunding is not only a great way to raise money to cover manufacturing and inventory costs, it can help you gauge demand and build a network of early adopters.
Running a hardware campaign
Running a hardware campaign on Indiegogo is a great way to present your new product to an engaged, global audience for feedback, funding, and fine-tuning.
Leverage a soft launch
Campaigns that have many contributions within the first days after launch instill trust and credibility among a wider audience. A helpful way to estimate your total campaign goal is to define how much your team and inner circle can contribute, and then multiply that number by three.
Your wider audience is more likely to fund campaigns that have raised a higher percentage of their total goal. Therefore, it's advantageous to set your goal as low as possible and leverage your inner circle to secure initial funding.
This way, when you contact your wider audience – and the media – they'll see your campaign already has momentum. This is especially important with hardware campaigns, as strangers may doubt your product until they see that others already trust you. It's all about validation.
Show how people use your product in their unique ways
Be sure to highlight how your product will impact people's life and provide concrete examples. Clearly state the problem your product solves, then show how.
Prepare for success
Know what you're looking for beyond funding and find out how you'll get it before you launch your campaign. Questions you should ask include: can you scale if your campaign goes viral? Is there a limit on the quantity of a specific perk you're offering? Are you aiming to produce a one-off product, or to start a business? Do you want to attract the attention of distributors, or is the whole point to gauge market interest and solicit user feedback? The more you ask, the better prepared you'll be.
Understand PayPal
If you'll use PayPal as a payment processor, contact them before you launch and let them know you plan to run a crowdfunding campaign. The last thing you want is to watch your successful campaign have its payments shut down because it set off one of PayPal's risk algorithms.
PayPal requires that all pre-orders be fulfilled within 30 days, so it's a good idea to work with them to make sure your campaign doesn't feature any binding language.
If you are not sure if you'll be able to ship goods within 30 days, PayPal requires you to include a disclaimer on your campaign site and marketing material that states that you "will make a best effort to provide the perk but delivery is not guaranteed." In addition, PayPal might ask you to submit further information so they can verify your campaign. Some examples include:
- Full legal name
- Address
- Date of Birth
- Tax Identification number or Social Security number
- Government issued photo identification
- Website address associated with your campaign
- Proof of tax exempt status if you're a nonprofit
- Your business plan and mission statement
- Names of your business owners and executives
- Marketing strategy
- Vendor, supplier, manufacturer, or distributor information
- Target production and distribution timeline
PayPal may ask fundraisers to provide supporting documentation to confirm their identity and/or business, or to confirm how the money from the campaign will be used. Please read PayPal's article on crowdfunding for more in-depth information.
Know how to ship everywhere
Indiegogo is an international platform, and if you have a hit product, people from around the globe will want it. Make sure you have answers to the following questions: Is shipping built into the Perk level? Should they add an extra $5? Should they pay you separately? It's important to clarify in your pitch description how shipping costs will be handled. Give separate instructions for international contributors, if their shipping costs are higher. For more detailed information on shipping, take a look at Indiegogo's Hardware Handbook.
Prepare to communicate
How you manage your contributors' questions and concerns will influence your public perception. Include contact information on your campaign page and have someone on your team ready to answer inquiries, manage problems, and ensure your contributors are happy with your product. This is especially important if your campaign ends and there are delays in the production process. Keeping your contributors happy and informed goes a long way toward building brand loyalty.
Be open to change
Think about how you can advance other long-term objectives in addition to your immediate need for funding. Your campaign is a great chance to get feedback from future customers and even test your pricing models.
Even when a product is well designed, your audience may want something different. Your Indiegogo campaign is a great opportunity to take into account a wide and invested audience's feedback. Real-time market testing is one of the primary benefits to launching your product through Indiegogo. Be open to making changes to your product, and think about what questions you'd like to ask the crowd.
Furthermore, when you involve your audience in this way, they feel like your project is theirs too. They aren't just contributing – they're helping you create something new! This type of emotional connection is an extremely powerful incentive for sharing your story.
Have a prototype
You don't need a prototype to use Indiegogo, but the press will often want to use a product before they write about it. You may lose potential media coverage if you don't have a prototype available for review. Similarly, showcasing a prototype in your campaign video will help build trust with your contributors.
Use graphics
Remember that if you've made something unique, you may need to spend extra time reassuring funders that your product is real and works as described. Graphics are a great tool for explaining your product in simple terms. This includes:
- Custom Headers (Campaign examples: Ubuntu Edge; Panono)
- Diagrams (Tinkerbots)
- Infographics of the production timeline (Grasshopper; MicroPhone)
- Infographics that explain perk packages (Canary; Scanadu Scout)
- Representations of Tech Specs (Skulpt; Birdi)
Be transparent
Projects that launch an Indiegogo campaign can be at any point in the the manufacturing process. Be as transparent as possible about what stage your project is at and how your new technology actually works. Link to outside studies and press spots that support your claims, and include a section in your pitch text that features photos and descriptions of your team. Make every aspect of your story as tangible as possible.
Promote a sense of community and keep your contributors happy by continuing to send updates regularly. If there have been changes to your project or your ability to fulfill your perks, communicate with your contributors immediately. People tend to be forgiving when they are kept in the loop.
Transparency is far more important than pretending that everything is running smoothly. People understand that your business is just getting started. By being transparent and sending your contributors regular updates, you build trust and lasting relationships.
For more information and advice on running your campaign, take a look at both the Indiegogo Playbook and the Hardware Handbook.

Nokia's Here Auto Navigation System Connects The Car to the Cloud
Nokia has launched Here Auto, a cloud-enhanced in-car navigation and infotainment platform, as well as a Here Auto companion app for smartphones. For a really simple explanation of what Here Auto is, think turn-by-turn navigation system coupled with a cloud-based info service such as Waze. It offers oft-seen features such as speed limit and speed camera warnings and different map views, but it adds a layer of dynamic services (called Here Auto Cloud) which should make your trip much more enjoyable.

November 21, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - A former Las Vegas strip club owner who served prison time for a federal tax evasion conviction seven years ago has been indicted again on charges he tried to evade paying more than $2.5 million in taxes from 2006-11.
Federal agents arrested Rick Rizzolo Wednesday after a grand jury indicted him on two counts of attempt to evade and defeat payment of employment and income taxes.
He's scheduled to make an initial court appearance before a U.S. magistrate in Las Vegas Thursday. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison and $500,000 in fines.
The indictment accuses Rizzolo of trying to evade paying taxes he owed for 2000, 2002 and 2006 by lying to the Internal Revenue Service and hiding funds and property in the names of others.

Sexism at the Apple Store? Woman claims "Genius" totally ignored her while pitching her husband
Summary: Seems as though when Consumerist reader Arjela and her husband entered an Apple store in Bellevue, Wash. to shop for a MacBook Air last week, she felt as though the Apple Store "genius" concentrated all of his sales efforts on the hubby and not on both.
Seems as though when Consumerist reader Arjela and her husband entered an Apple store in Bellevue, Wash. to shop for a MacBook Air last week, she felt as though the Apple Store "genius" concentrated all of his sales efforts on the hubby and not on both.
Arjela, who is quite an experienced computer user, seems to be particularly ticked that during the consulation, the "Genius" aggressively pitched the Mr. on Apple Care, still ignoring her.
All this got her so pissed off she wrote Apple a letter and forwarded it to the Consumerist.
She wrote in part:
The Apple Store "genius" -- and I'm offended that he was called that, given the stupendous idiocy he exhibited today -- was named Bill. Bill was called over when my husband and I came into the store; I had told the concierge that I was interested in buying a MacBook Air.
Well, first of all, Bill DID NOT LOOK AT ME. He did not greet me. He greeted my husband, introduced himself, and shook his hand... and completely ignored me. He didn't ask my name, what we were there to buy, or who the new computer was for. He did not make eye contact. He simply behaved as though I were not there, and steered my husband through the crowded store -- ignoring me and leaving me behind.
When I caught up to them, he was commencing the hard-sell of "AppleCare". After being told several times that I was not interested, he asked my husband if he was a Microsoft employee, and pointed out that he could get a 12% discount on it. My husband finally stopped Bill in his tracks and told Bill that the computer was for me. He asked Bill if the education discount, which I qualified for, or the Microsoft employee discount, which my husband qualified for, was a better deal. Bill told my husband that the education discount was better -- but continued talking to my husband as if I were not there. Even after being told the computer was for me and that we'd be using my education discount on it, Bill did not greet me, make eye contact with me, or acknowledge my presence in any way.
After scrolling through a screen of peripherals and asking my husband -- not me -- about each one, and only giving up on selling us the items when my husband -- not me -- confirmed I was not interested, he muttered something I could not make out (I presume because he was, again, talking to my husband and not myself), and wandered off.
I did not wait for him to come back before leaving the Apple Store. As my husband was not interested in anything at the store, he left, too.
I have to tell you that when my girlfriend and I went into my local Apple store to look at iPhones and MacBook Pros, we got equal treatment. Heck, the store geeks talked to her more! I mean, she uses Macs in her school, and knows more about them than I do.
I only wish Arjela and her husband received equal attention as well.

Kwanza Says: Somebody Told You Wrong
Has someone ever told you… "You're fat," "You're ugly," "You'll never be good enough," "You're worthless," "No one will ever like you." Or maybe they didn't say those words exactly but what they said made you feel that way.
In those moments, when you let their words sink in, something happens. You begin to loose a little bit of yourself and the thought of being exactly who you are just doesn't seem to be enough.
Well, let me clear things up once and for all… SOMEBODY TOLD YOU WRONG!
What "somebody told you" is just that — something they told you. THEIR words, THEIR ideas, THEIR suggestions. They don't belong to you unless you decide to take them. They are not real unless you choose to give them power.
If someone isn't telling you words that uplift then choose not to listen. The choice is YOURS. You can choose to listen to what someone told you or you can choose to listen to yourself, follow your intuition and do whatever makes you happy.
Remember, the story you tell yourself about your life is what your life becomes.

Coyotes notes: Could The Coyotes bring back Whitney?

Buffalo is believed willing to meet Callahan's asking price of a seven-year deal
Time is more an ally of the captain than of general manager Glen Sather. As a pending free agent, Callahan won't be able to speak to all of the other 29 teams until June 25, so though he would likely prefer to take care of his business now, there is no urgency whatsoever for him to operate in a restricted market.
Is it time for general manager Dean Lombardi to pull the trigger on a deal?

Edmonton GM Craig MacTavish has been the most active this season. He's finally started to deliver on his promise to make moves. He isn't done by any stretch. Expect to see left winger Ryan Jones, defenceman Nick Schultz, defenceman Corey Potter and right wing Ales Hemsky moved.
Could the Rangers and Blue Jackets make a deal
Trading Callahan to the Blue Jackets, with whom the Rangers are competing for a playoff spot and could conceivably meet in a cross-pollination first round, seems like a crazy idea, but the Blueshirts would sure have to think about it if Columbus would send 24-year-old Cam Atkinson, Chris Kreider's Boston College Eagles teammate, to the Garden.

Table events - unfair to the server? what about the resto?
- jfood Apr 17, 2007 07:50 PM
All the talk about up-tipping if you are a single at a one-top, order two apps, loiter for an extended period of time. We have all voiced opinions on how to tip the server.
But what about the resto owner. How does he get compensated for these events?
Just curious.
Drove almost 400 miles today so have no thoughts just yet.
As someone who has managed a restaurant and has been a solo diner on more than one occasion. I'll say the following:
- If the restaurant is very busy and you plan on reading/doing a crossword/taking up a table for far longer than average, please sit at the bar. If you prefer a table, you are entitled to hang out as long as you are still eating or drinking, unless you are having six cups of coffee and sitting there for well over the average time. Please be considerate of other diners. If we aren't that busy, stay as long as you want. Just don't be offended if the server eventually asks you to settle up so they can go home.
- If you are a regular, I will be more forgiving. Your ongoing support of my business is very important to me. However if it is a drastic situation, I may venture to ask if you wouldn't mind moving to the bar in exchange for a free glass of wine/dessert. Most regulars would not mind. Restaurant owners don't often make a ton of money. When they do, it is largely due to regular business as opposed to one-offs.
It took a while for me to figure out what you were asking...but, in my experience, restaurant owners expect a fair amount of the kind of behavior to which you refer. (Notice I said "fair amount" because, well, if you're coming in with a table of six people at dinner and two of you order appetizers and the other four have coffee and you take up the table for three hours having some kind of meeting? Well, no owner in the world is going to be happy with your patronage.) Restaurant owners/management build it into their financial considerations.
One of the ways owners/mgrs get around those "cheap" tables is by putting pressure on servers to upsell. Wonder why that whole "charging for bottled water" issue has gotten out of hand? Wonder why your server sometimes pushes Grey Goose for that mixed drink rather than assuming you mean you want a well pour? Well, often times that's not the server's own bright idea; the restaurant management is behind that.
Anyway, most people don't just sit and order appetizers and most people don't dine alone, so it all evens out in the end. (And remember, the restaurant has a take of every table in the house, while the server has to make their money off a limited number of tables, so the impact on the server is higher than it is for the restaurant owner. --Sorry--I can't help but sneak the server's perspective in there!)
Random thoughts - please debunk if necessary (a probability). Also a probability: too long. But what the hey.
In re: Restaurant owners - I think the restaurant owner who understands that the patron (whether they are spending $15.00 or ten times that) wants to spend a leisurely ten minutes over that last half-cup of coffee is a restaurant owner who will inspire loyalty. The wind-down from a meal, without upsell and - yes, sorry, any rush-along snottiness, is a very nice finish - better than any torte that is offered on the dessert menu. ('Cept maybe a fresh raspberry trifle, but that's just me.) I think most successful owners understand the leisure aspect of dining out, and want to promote this welcoming feeling of well-being in their customers.
In re: Loitering - (Geez. I have a few conflicting thoughts on this - another time.) I think we are encouraged to loiter in our culture (argue if you must). Walk into a bookstore-with-a-coffee-bar, and you can, for $3.25 plus tax (or whatever your drink costs) sink into one of the cushy chairs and read an entire book without buying it. I'd guess the thinking is that you will maybe buy something eventually, but the system seems set up for gettin' something for nothing, other than the cost of the coffee drink, if that. Or, take shopping malls. It's not just going to stores to buy a shirt, a pair of tennies, and a gift for Dad, it's an "experience" that is supposed to have some Gestalt aura. Cripes, even buying underpants can be a major production at some mall stores. Buying something needs to be an "event" rather than a transaction, in so many cases. (Yes, just my opinion.)
So is it any wonder that we encounter loitering in restaurants; eating out, it seems to me, to be a bit more of a relaxation undertaking than, say, procurement of consumer goods.
Which brings me to:
In re: Events in restaurants, what's in it for the owner, and where need the line be drawn - If you have a restaurant that seems to say "come in, sit down, relax and enjoy a meal that is not a-sandwich-on-the-run, you need to expect that people are going to want to do just that. Does that relaxation sometimes mean ten minutes over what the owner would like to see as table turnaround? Yep. Thems the breaks if you're in the biz. By the same token, this culture-wide encouragement of loitering (see above) means your clientele might want to spend a whole heckuva lot of time at their table. Buying a book, tennis shoes, or underpants (BTW, this is my homage to the late Kurt Vonnegut, R.I.P.) pales in comparison, socially, to dinner with your spouse or friends or colleagues. Eating out is enjoyable. If one is enjoying oneself, human nature is to keep on enjoying oneself. Still, what's in it for the resto? Well, good will (that of people enjoying themselves) will often result in a loyal repeat business. Sweet, if that's what you want. If what you want is turnover (and who doesn't), then maybe the discouragement of "loitering" is in order, perhaps by way of a different sort of establishment or hospitality practice. My college memories are of places with signs on the tables stating that the table time limit was one hour, usually to dissuade those with term papers due on Kirkegaard-and-his-pals from writing the whole dang thing while ordering one bottomless cup of coffee and nothing else. Restaurants need to find that balance vis-a-vis what clientele they want. If they want the loyalty of people staging "events" (whatever those may be), maybe they suck it up when a six-top lingers overlong. Or maybe they ask nicely for the party to move along, due to lines at the door. Maybe they put little signs on the table for time limits or maybe they just assume the (perceived) loss when that six-top is STILL there.
(Disclosure: yes, I do have friends in the restaurant business (owners), and yes, I have discussed this issue with them. They're doing well, thank you, after over twenty years of looking the other way when a table lingers. No, it's not a mom-n-pop; they have an ethnic, mid-to-upper-level dining establishment.)
Restaurant owners are not helpless in this issue. Are some people still a**holes when they eat out. Yep and double-yep. But they're still eating out. In my world, that means the restaurant owners are collecting dollars and staying in business.
I don't even want to talk about tipping. Really. jfood's post was about the resto.
Thanks for dealing with the lengthy babble.
Bruni blogged about this a few months back, including some good interviews with restaurant owners and managers. The most compelling comment was by Richard Coraine, COO for the Union Square Hospitality Group:
...the solo diner is giving a restaurant one of the greatest compliments it can get. "The single diner has no other agenda but to eat in your restaurant," he said. "They're not there for business, they're not there for romance." They're there for the restaurant's food and service.
He added: "I think there are some operators who see someone walk in alone and say, 'Here comes some lost revenue.' I look at it as: here comes tomorrow's six-top."
Full entry here: http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.co...
it's not too different from sitting a 3-top at a 4-top table; or a 5-top on a 6-top table. just because you are a solo diner, it doesn't mean you are less profitable. if there are people waiting for your table when you are clearly, done, now, that's a different story. but that's not only for solo diners. that applies all guests lingering when there are other guests waiting.
re: baconstrip
Great great response. I hadn't thought about it this way but you're entirely correct. Ultimately, its pretty irrelevant unless the restaurant in packed and there's a line or its closing time.
On the issue of solo dining, I do this quite frequently as I often travel alone for business. I find that I eat faster when I am alone. No talking or listening to do (yes, sometimes listening will slow down my eating). This allows the restaurant to turn the table over faster reducing any lost revenue from a single diner. I think this, while not ideal, is not too bad unless I am total underestimating the total number of solo diners in a given night.
Also the solo diner who orders an app, an entree and a glass of wine is probably more profitable than the three top ordering only appetizers. I have a feeling that restaurants understand this and appreciate the solo diner who orders a "full" meal.
As for loitering, I think that it may depend on the circumstances. If these individuals are regulars then the ongoing business is may be more important than the loitering especially if the loitering is not habitual. Outside of that, I think it depends on how busy the establishment is. If the restaurant is slow, maybe they don't mind so much and hope the loiterers are future regulars. On busy nights, it may be just the opposite with non-regular loiterers keeping regulars from tables.
re: bonmann
That's a good point--single diners tend to spend less time. I always liked waiting on single diners myself. Though not always, in my experience single diners are usually pleasant. They don't linger too long at the table, and they tend to be easy to wait on.
at the steakhouse where I once worked, this guy would come in once every couple of months when he was in town on business. He'd order an app, a Kobe strip steak (then going for $125) a couple of sides and a half bottle of wine. He was nice and was well aquainted with the words "please" and "thank you." Possibly my favorite customer ever.
I have to believe that the owner expects that some of his customers will make up for the others who don't spend as much as he likes, but each customer should be treated the same way (or at least at a reasonable minimum). If the restaurant isn't busy, then having someone sit at a table makes your restaurant look busier and therefore more welcoming (like hmm, there are people eating here, maybe we should eat here too). There are many times when DH and I walk into a restaurant and are the lone customers in the beginning, but later on, there are more... and more (I'm talking about mom and pop places, not chains). Even though we are "only" ordering two entrees and water, perhaps our presence encouraged others to come in therby giving them business they wouldn't otherwise have. Who knows?
When I dine alone, I bring, yes, a dreaded book. Eating alone is something that I purposely do. I want to enjoy my food and sit leisurely without saying things like, "wipe your mouth" "don't spill the water" "sit down". I'll generally tip about 20%, but I also don't stay for more than one hour, but during the time, I expect to be treated like anyone else.
Last example: I'm a scrapbooker who scrapbooks at a store. I pay my fee but rarely buy anything because I have everything and need to use up more of what I have. The owner knows me, but I know she treats me differently than the way she treats my other friends who shop more than me. HOWEVER, I am the planner. I make sure we go to her store on a regular basis so that they can buy stuff. When I don't plan, they don't go. Somehow, I don't think I'm less of a customer.
re: boltnut55
why is the book dreaded? I love taking myself out to lunch with a good book. It's so pleasant
re: nc213
Yeah, no problem with the book. I've served for 15+ years, and I love love LOVE dining alone, as I believe many servers/restaurateurs do. I mean, we have weird nights off, our schedules are different than our friends'... so whenever wait on a single, I welcome their book, their crossword... I do hope that they won't take any more time than any other table would, and I do hope that they'll consider their possibly lower check average when they're tipping. But as I so cherish dining alone, I have to offer my customers as sacred a solo-dining experience. And the owner benefits from the positive repercussions of a happy customer who loves to eat out! Perfect!
re: ctscorp
My freshman year of college, I knew a handful of people, and none was available to dine out. I desperately needed something other than Cheerios (again) and hoppped a bus to downtown Mpls's Nankin (RIP) to eat alone. I was a nervous 18-yr-old wanting Chinese food, and asked the maitre'd if there was a table where it would be okay to read.
I was seated as if I was the Queen herself.
AND, no eyebrows were raised when I ordered a platter of fried rice. I did tip my (at the time) 15%, but really - how much is that for the server on fried rice? Still, the perfect treatment continued when, every two weeks (payday) I would make the same trek alone...well, with my botany book. I was treated incredibly well as a solo diner, even though I was spending about as little as one could.
As my ability to pay increased, I kept going, despite the fact that the Nankin was not the most authentic or delicious Chinese food in town. They'd won me over with how they'd treated a solo student diner as if I was as important as anyone else.
As ctscorp said: Perfect.
re: cayjohan
Very nice experience. I wish all places treated their customers like that.
re: tom porc
You can come to my restaurant any time! ;)
re: ctscorp
a one top can end up spending more than a 4 top. You never know how good a customer is going to be for a restaurant and all should be treated well by servers and owners.
re: smartie
Absolutely, and you dont know how many friends and co-workers the solo diner may have to tell of his/her excellent or poor experience.
re: cayjohan
cayjohon-- i used to work at the nankin! i was bt though, not server. i love that people so many people remember their early restaurant experiences & i'm glad you got great service where i once worked. they did have an awesome pro waitstaff crew there.
re: "the dreaded book"-- when dh and i worked together in a neighborhood bar there was a middle aged lady who'd come in by herself with a trade paperback, sit at a table by herself & read for about an hour. the whole staff called her "the brandy and cheese lady" because that was all she ever ordered-- in a place without real cheese, just processed bar cheese(!).
she was quiet and pleasant to whomever served her, and she tipped modestly but consistently. one day when dh was waiting on her he returned to clear her tiny cheese plate and discovered that she had left her paperback behind. he saved the book for her in the server's station for 2 weeks until the brandy and cheese lady returned. although she wasn't seated in his section, he retrieved the book and brought it over to her, much to her surprise that he even remembered her (good servers remember the majority of their customers, & ALWAYS the regulars)-- "oh!" she exclaimed "i finished my book the last time i was here, and i left it on the table for you in case you wanted to read it!"
she was just so sweet. even though we'll probably never know her name, we'll always remember the brandy and cheese lady and picture her happily sipping her brandy, reading a new paperback, and nibbling some (hopefully non-processed) cheese in a new bar that pleases her (our old employer has since closed the bar).
you are not a bad customer because you read at a table. i agree that solo patrons give the place a compliment by showing that they are comfortable and happy in the place.
i personally find it pleasant when i find out that the staff of a regularly patronized establishment have a little nickname for me/us-- so far the nicknames have been pretty nice(!)
re: soupkitten
soupkitten - great to find someone who remembers (and worked at!) the venerable Nankin. It was a class-act establishment precisely because it saw "table events" as anything from one diner to a dozen and more. And treated all customers as if they were welcomed. Those of us who loved that fact continued to patronize the place. (maybe I was "that botany book chick?" :-) )
That's what's in it for the resto.
re: cayjohan
you know, a LOT of the old servers (and kitchen staff) from the nankin went to ping's when the nankin closed-- it's owned by the husband of emily woo, who ran the nankin. some others went to the wanderer restaurant out in minnetonka (i think???), also owned by the family. if you get a hankering for the nankin's old-school chinese-american style of cuisine, or just for the service, you might see some familiar faces there. again i am not saying the food is great or anything, but there are some old faves on the menu.
the nankin was actually my very earliest restaurant memory, btw! i was a small child and a bunch of my mom's fam that we never got to see were in town. everyone went to the nankin because that was the place circa late 70's or 1980. i think i still remember it so clearly because it was a huge noisy table of us, everyone had these big pretty pink drinks with umbrellas they gave to me to play with, and when the food arrived everyone ate off of each other's plates, which we never did at home. it made a big impression on little soupkitten. i have often wondered if that's why i put in an application there when i came back to the cities after school!
re: soupkitten
So sorry to add such an off-topic post to a dead thread, but soupkitten, my wife misses her Wanderers! Do you know what was in them? If you know the recipe and it isn't a secret you were to carry to your grave, I would love to know. Thanks!

re: boltnut55
I never worried about the readers coming in to my rest. The regulars would always come in at the end of "the rush", and would be considerate enough of others to either change seating or leave if they had finished eating and things became busy again.
The people I had trouble with were the late night "homesteaders". Those who come in within 45 minutes to 1/2 hour before closing and then take a leisurely 1/2 hour to order and an hour or more to eat.
re: hannaone
Many years ago I used to take my son to Hebrew School once a week. Since I had a two hour+ wait for him, I would take a book and go to a very nice French restaurant, have an appetizer and a glass or two of wine. The owner was always willing to have me do so because he knew that 1) I often came back with my wife and or friends, and 2) I would recommend the restaurant to my friends if they were looking for a place to dine in that area. If the restaurant was busy, I would sit at a small table in the bar instead of taking up a table in the dining room. (He was also very nice about making sure I had enough light to read my book) If it wasn't busy he would sit and talk wine with me.
We still go there (thought he has moved the location of his restaurant to a much less convenient location) often, and we always order a good bottle of wine as well as a couple of appetizers, entrees and dessert, and leave a good tip. I beleive in making sure I reciprocate when I have been treated well
jfood i think mine may have been one of the posts that you refer to.
it's not fair to loiter in a place that has only a few tables, or in a place that depends on a wicked daily high-turnover rush (unless the rush is far off or already over), but most owners are happy to see people spending some time talking and lingering over a table for a time if the establishment has a table to spare. after all, the rest. makes a percentage profit off of every item sold to the table, so the place still makes its 55 cents on your cup of tea or its $4 on your app.-- as long as there is not another party waiting for your table the establishment is still making money (just not as much as if you were ordering 2 dinners and a bottle of wine). the folks who linger over a table also tend to be the more attentive customers, who will bring friends & family back to the place if they feel comfortable, like dinwiddie.
i think owners tend to be very hospitable by nature and really just enjoy seeing patrons enjoying their establishments. they love seeing good customers return and become regulars. of course, bad customers like hannaone describes are bad news for the closing staff & are a pain in the butt for the restaurant-- probably not welcomed again so much.
re: soupkitten
We actually had three classes of the "late nighters".
People who were unaware of the closing time and came in from a referral or that had "heard" of our rest from x-source. These customers were not a problem as they usually became regulars and made sure to come in before we ran out of fresh selections.
The "homesteaders" I described earlier.
And the funniest group - other Asian restaurant owners who closed about the same time that we did. They would always call ahead and say "We really want some of your food, is it okay for to come over?" and normally it would be the entire family - up to twenty people.
re: hannaone
I have mixed thoughts on people dining at the end of the day. Having managed a restaurant I know how it goes, but I always figure that if you're focused on when you get out at the end of the night, then you need to close the kitchen early enough to be done when you want to be. And that includes planning for people who walk in 5 minutes before "closing." That is, if you really want to be out by midnight, then you shouldn't announce 11pm as closing time. If someone comes in at 10:55 and you turn them away, you may have just lost a customer permanently. I always took the stance that we are open for people to come in and sit down until the time on the door.
Now, it is something of a problem when someone comes in that late and wants to linger over drinks, order a few starters and see how they feel about ordering other stuff in a bit...etc etc etc.
re: ccbweb
I think there was another thread a long time ago on CH about whether the posted time is the door locking time or the last moment when a customer could come into the door. I interpret it as the last moment when someone can come in.
re: ccbweb
Take the opportunity to teach people how to dine! I serve until the time on the door says. If we close at 10pm and a customer walks in at 9:59pm we serve them BUT we do fill them in about a few things. "Would it be possible to take your order as our kitchen closes shortly" "The servers and front end will be here for a while so there is certainly no rush for you to enjoy your meal" If this doesn't suit the experience they came in for politely recommend another restaurant. People are so easy to talk to and most times have no idea of the circumstances. It's amazing how many times you can flip a table in an extremly busy reaturant by just talking to people.
I have a regular customer who comes in late afternoon solo. She sits, has a glass of wine and usually a salad or a sandwich, sometimes followed by coffee and/or ice cream.
She is as sweet as can be, friendly and very polite. Her bill averages $20-25. Thing is, I am pretty sure she has Alzheimer's or dementia. After she pays, she asks me if she's paid yet. Of course I answer truthfully. She leaves me maybe a few coins. Never a "real" tip.
I don't mind though. This is not the norm for customers, and she is so adorable and kind that the tip doesn't matter to me. Obviously this is an extreme example, but goes to my point that politeness and kindness go a longer way with servers then most think.
We do not (always) see you with a giant percentage sign followed by a number (8-25) on your forehead.
re: momof3
I second that. I often used to say that I'd rather have a table be nice to me and leave 15% than be rude and leave 20%.
re: jnstarla
I had a guy walk out of his private room and tap on the wine bottle he was holding up over his head in front of 40 other fine dining guests! This would be...no... never acceptable. IF they didn't have 4-5 ounces in every glass as I had just been in to top them up maybe...maybe I could understand this. I waived the minimum of a private room for this guy, (usually $1000 minimum) so he could entertain his 5 guests. Then he complains about a service charge of 18%. WHAT! Even though Calgary is a big city, everyone in our restaurant knows his name. I will never let him dine with us again. When you go out of your way for someone and they make your staff quiver and cringe, it's so not worth it!
Anyways, this blog has helped me to approach single diners with more of an open passion, some are insecure of being alone as it is. We entertained a single gentleman yesterday, he had such a great time that he invited 7 friends down to meet him. They drank and ate all afternoon!

Love her great doctor
I've been seeing Dr. Winslow for approx. 4 yrs now. In that time she has performed 1 outpatient surgery (not pregnancy related) and has done my annual pap smears. I think she is wonderful. She has answered all my questions, has always been very thorough and has put my well being first. I would absolutely recommend her! I
I was scared to go through the above procedure having heard some horror stories. I asked about pain and Dr. WInslow offered a cervical block (shot). I arranged to have my husband drive me home anticipating being in pain afterwards. Both she and the nurse kept me sidetracked with conversation and all I felt were two very MINOR cramps as the shot was administered and tissue was removed. I could have walked home afterwards I felt so good (and relieved!). Dr. Winslow addressed my concerns and seemed to adopt a "wait and see" approach in line with my aversion to heavy handed interventions that I experienced from other doctors. I finally feel comfortable with a gynecologist!
I agree with above, she is horrible! kept pressuring me for an amnio, I refused, she would not let me leave the office until she set up the appt for one! That and numerous other events had me running out of her office and to an actual doctor who "CARED" not only for me as the patient but for my unborn baby. I would not refer her to anyone, not even a pregnant animal! The only reason I gave her 1 star in the overall rating section is because this made me give her at least one star to submit the review.
she doesn't know how to treat a pregnant woman with toxoplasmosis she refused to help me save my baby

Peace at Last
After 20 hours of planes, trains, and automobiles, we have arrived safely at our destination and can once again sleep in a horizontal position. We couldn't figure out how to use the GPS system in the Mercedes Benz rental! So grateful we had the iPad to come to the rescue. We are staying at the edge of a lake, and had dinner al fresco. I think it might we might call it gyros German style, with red cabbage and French ...
The Herrenhauser Gardens
The household emptied in the morning, kids to school and Nadine and Frank to work.
When we were in Berlin a good few years ago, took the train to Hanover to meet up with Pat and Eckard. During our day with them, went to Herrenhauser Gardens, but as it was February, not at its best. You could still appreciate the fine bones and structure of the garden, but shades of grey and browns. Consequently, ...

The Wedding
... The property was very big with stables for the horse and lots of grass and a huge walnut tree in the front yard. The first thing we had to eat was a wedding soup then we had lots of delicious food like pork ribs baked ham and lots of salads. Then best of all was the cakes including double chocolate cake, raspberry cream cake ...
Last day of this journey...
Around 90% of Hannover were destroyed during WW2 and when I saw some of
the old houses that remained untouched it really broke my heart as I
could only imagine how pretty this city must have once been.
I hope you will enjoy the (rebuilt) remains as much as I did.
