What idle no more tells us about the need for change
(Op-ed by Vandna Sinha, an assistant professor at the Centre for Research on Children and Families at McGill and Jennifer Nutton, a PhD student in the School of Social Work): Recent actions by Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence, the Assembly of First Nations, the Idle No More movement, First Nations communities and the federal government have drawn attention to two related but distinct issues...
Ontario court grants same-sex divorce
An Ontario Superior Court judge has taken the novel step of granting a divorce to a same-sex couple over legal objections from the federal Crown. Madam Justice Ruth Mesbur ruled that same-sex civil partnerships from foreign countries that don't permit same-sex marriages can nonetheless qualify as marriages under Canadian law. […] Robert Leckey, a professor of family law at McGill University and president of Egale Canada, said he found the federal position to be disturbing.
Warm weather forcing rink operators to think artificial
An extended January thaw in parts of Quebec and Ontario has put a major dent in the outdoor hockey season. But an increasing number of municipalities, responding to fluctuating temperatures, are now using artificial refrigeration to keep their skating rinks frozen through the winter months. […] A study released last March said that outdoor hockey is being threatened by climate change. The study, co-authored by a McGill University professor Lawrence Mysak, said that ice rinks were opening later over and closing earlier in the year.
Some doctors have done more than just providing care
(Chemistry professor Joe Schwarcz): "I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone. To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug, nor give advice which may cause his death … " That passage comes from the Hippocratic oath, by which physicians promise to practise medicine ethically and honestly. Not all abide by the oath, but doctors who wilfully harm their patients are rare. The ultimate harm, of course, is murder. It is a crime for which Dr. Harold Shipman paid with his life, and for which Dr.
Muslim thought on evolution takes a step forward
A high-quality debate of a sensitive topic did not disappoint, as all panellists bar one accepted the scientific consensus. An imam of an east London mosque, Usama Hasan, received a death threat for arguing in support of human evolution two years ago. On Saturday, London played host to a riveting intrafaith dialogue on Islam's stance on the theory of evolution.
In defense of the CEO
Chauffeur-driven limousines, millions in stock options, golden parachutes. It's no wonder bosses' pay and perks can rankle. Here's why the best ones are worth it. … Let's start with the basics: how chief executives spend their time. Among the first researchers to give us a glimpse into the day-to-day life of the CEO was management guru Henry Mintzberg, who followed a handful of business leaders for his Ph.D. thesis at the MIT Sloan School of Management over four decades ago. He discovered that, first and foremost, CEOs go to meetings.
Multiple choice exam theory
(Guest post by Jonathan Sterne, an associate professor in the Department of Art History and Communication Studies at McGill): "Every summer, before I assemble my fall courses, I read a book on pedagogy. Last summer's choice is Cathy Davidson's Now You See It (except I read it in the spring). Those who are familiar with critiques of mainstream educational practice will find many familiar arguments, but Now You See It crucially connects them with US educational policy.
China faces a neurotic future
(REPAP Chair of Economics Reuven Brenner): Ten years ago, I wrote about the possible consequences of China's one child policy (published in Asia Times Online, Financial Times, and Singapore Times). All of it seems to have held the test of times - and recent evidence strengthens the points raised then: What can be the point of reference to predict consequences of China's current childbearing pattern, adjusted over the last decades to one-kid or you're-out-of-your-apartment policy?
Dying with dignity: opinions vary
Quebecers afflicted with an intolerable terminal illness may soon be able to seek the help of a doctor to end their suffering. A panel of legal experts has recommended that the provincial government allow what it is calling "medical assistance to die" in rare cases where a patient is close to death, but unable to endure the physical or psychological pain. But not everyone agrees with the panel's controversial findings, which were announced in Quebec City on Tuesday. […] Canada's father of palliative care, Dr.
Scientist at work: Russian comforts on Antarctic ice
(Michael Becker, a doctoral student at McGill University, was a scientific diver on an expedition to Lake Untersee, Antarctica, this is part two in a series of blog posts for the NYT): Fieldwork in the polar latitudes is often 50 percent science and 50 percent logistics. When the weather goes bad the science drops quickly to zero. That's the position we found ourselves in as we waited to depart our transit town of Cape Town, South Africa.

Citizendium: Wikipedia 2.0
Citizendium, the new wiki project from Larry Sanger (one of the co-founders of Wikipedia) launched publicly yesterday. Citizendium is a lot like Wikipedia, but with more emphasis placed on responsibility and the policing of content--two things arguably lacking in Wikipedia. Before you can contribute to Citizendium, users must apply for access, and it's not just a casual name and e-mail address; you actually have to provide your real name and sell yourself to the service's content cops in 100 to 500 words.
The site's content is managed and controlled by community moderators called "constables." After being screened and chosen even more carefully than ordinary contributors, constables are given the power to manage user submissions and general content. Constables aren't paid or given compensation for their services, it's purely a volunteer gig. Likewise, contributors receive nothing besides the prestige of creating and editing content for the service.
There are just more than 1,000 entries on the site. This pales in comparison to Wikipedia's 1,700,000 plus, but Citizendium just launched. Wikipedia's been live since early 2001.
Citizendium is an interesting experiment (a term coined by its founders, not me). It's too early to say whether or not it will become a serious competitor to Wikipedia. To my mind, Citizendium is setting itself up for problems.… Read more

text: I'm an adult with child sized feet. It's not easy finding shoes I can wear that wont make me look silly. I have been wearing the jungle mocks for three years now. I love these shoes! I refuse to wear any other pair. I live in Vermont where the weather can pretty nasty. Regardless I wear these shoes in snow, rain, hail or a sunny day. I'm not that general either on my shoes. That being said I go threw these gems every eight months or so. I just wish that they didn't tear in the heal so fast. I love these shoes but the heal should be stronger. Thank You.

hello forum.
i have taken an picture from the internet,and from RGB i have converted it to CMYK
the background is supposed to be black as well as the picture that fades into it.
after i print the final image,i can see 2 variations of black on my image all though
both blacks have same colour value.
You are making it impossible for anyone to help in any way.
The web site of your print shop says they generate "Kodak quality prints". For the process it was a blunder for you to convert your image to CMYK. Whatever possessed you?
They also offer large posters, and I'm guessing that means large-format inkjet printers, for which RGB images are also expected, and CMYK would be totally inaproppriate there too.
The image you posted tells me nothing, it just makes me wonder what you are trying to describe.
You can post a link to any Internet image or site here, sure.
ok i hope this image is big enough so you may see the difference with the black variations.
clicking with the eyedropper tool on both black background give it the same cmyk value.
but in the print version of this,i can see the right side of image another black variation.
if you click onto the picture you can see the black background has a difference.

So You Think You Can Search
IE Technology and Innovation Club 18 de octubre 2012
Power Searching with Google
How would you search for the term "apple" that only includes results about the fruit and not the technology company? What is the quickest way to find the name of the group of people inhabiting parts of West Africa from northern Nigeria to Mali and the Atlantic coast that starts with an "f" and ends with "ni"?
Knowing how to find answers is an important skill in today's digital age, but not many people use Google to its full advantage. Dr. Dan Russell, a research scientist at Google, originally created this course to help users search smarter, so they can find the information they need even in the most challenging situations.
Bring your laptops/smartphones and let's start feeling lucky!

Techniques for portable computers and mobile devices
Portable and Mobile
The arrival of Linux on portable and mobile devices provides so many interesting opportunities for customization. This month we look at Linux in portable and mobile environments.
Once the computer was as big as a room, then it was as big as a car, then it was as big as a suitcase. Now, it seems, a computer can be smaller than a cigarette box – and not just in some mad scientist's lab but out in the world, on real mobile phones and other handheld devices. The hardware keeps getting lighter and smaller, and the tools keep getting smarter. This new age of mobile computing has ushered in a new era for open source. This month we examine some tools for portable and mobile environments.
The first article describes a technique for accessing a Linux computer from an iPhone or iPod Touch – not just with SSH, but through a full VNC-based GUI desktop session. Next up, longtime Linux author Marcel Gagné shows how to set up a small-scale collaboration environment on a Linux system with Open Atrium.
The next article provides a practical look at creating Qt-based applications for the Maemo platform, including real-world examples showing how to build a simple text editor and a map-reading tool for a Maemo-based mobile phone. The final article in this month's set shows how to customize the hot keys on a Linux laptop with acpid.
And if you're looking for even more on the world of portable computers, read on to our Reviews section, where we introduce you to Joulicloud and Moblin – a pair of Linux-based systems tailored for portable environments.

50 Greatest Soap Couples: #9 Mac & Rachel From ANOTHER WORLD
Mac: Douglass Watson
Rachel: Victoria Wyndham
YEARS: 1974-1989 (Mac and Rachel actually met off-screen in 1973 when Robert Emhardt was playing Mac.)
In 1974 Rachel was a single mother who had been divorced three times, always trying to better her life and position in society. Mac was the wealthy owner of Cory Publishing new to Bay City where his daughter, Iris, now lived. Iris threw a party in honor of her "Daddy" and Rachel crashed. Iris was having her thrown out when Mac came to Rachel's rescue. Mac sent her flowers the next day and their romance began. Mac formed a close bond with Rachel's son, Jamie, while Iris fumed over the relationship. Rachel began to find new depths in herself now that she had unconditional love and support. On Valentine's Day in 1975 Rachel and Mac were married. As a wedding present Mac bought Rachel the mansion she used to walk by as a child and dream about living in. They were never happy for long though especially with Iris interfering every chance she could.
Among Iris' many schemes was hiring a man to give Rachel horse-riding lessons who would try to seduce her. That didn't work so Iris hired someone at the mansion to cause trouble. A wedge was being driven between Mac and Rachel but things looked brighter when Rachel became pregnant. In one of her most despicable acts, when Rachel called Iris looking for Mac when she was in terrible pain, Iris just hung up the phone and never told her Daddy. Rachel miscarried. Mac and Rachel began to drift apart. He spent his time on moving his company to Bay City while she focused on her art. Over the next decade, Mac and Rachel would divorce twice and then get married again. They also had other lovers along the way (Janice, Mitch). In 1986 they renewed their vows. In 1989, Mac learned that Iris, who had returned to Bay City after eight years away, was responsible for the hostile takeover attempt on his company. He died shortly after with their relationship unresolved. Rachel was devastated. She eventually fell in love again but Mac would always have her heart.
The evolution of the character of Rachel through her relationship with Mac was fascinating for viewers. The writing of Haring Lemay was brilliant (he won an Emmy in 1975). Having Iris be the antagonist in a triangle in the early years played out an interesting dynamic which helped keep ANOTHER WORLD near the top of the ratings.
Watson was nominated for three Emmy Awards for playing Mac winning twice as Outstanding Actor in 1980 and 1981 (the same years Judith Light was named Outstanding Actress). Wyndham was nominated two times as well. In 1978 Wyndham was named Outstanding Actress at the Soapy Awards.
From Patrick Erwin (A THOUSAND OTHER WORLDS): A wonderfully complex, complicated romance between two grownups – the debonair Mac and reformed bad girl Rachel. Watching these two struggle to stay together (with Iris spoiling the match) was magnificent theater. Mac Cory and Rachel Davis were as rich as any characters in Dickens or Shakespeare, and played to perfection by Douglass Watson and Victoria Wyndham.

17 comments:
No. I loved Mac & Rachel but the couple surely is not greater than DAYS' Bo & Hope who clocked in here at #10! This list has been biased toward P&G soaps.
On another-note: Will Soap Classics release Another World on DVD like ATWT AND GL? Another World was a P&G soap. I know the folks here at WeLoveSoaps have an inside track.@zyxwvuts: You'll get no argument from me in terms of who were the better actors but I'd argue that Bo & Hope were a more relevant, impactful and important couple in daytime history. Heck, if this list were about the best acting duos in daytime history, Douglass Wattson/Victoria Wyndham, Justin Deas/Margaret Colin, Robert Newman/Kim Zimmer and Erika Slezak/Robin Strausser would be my top choices. As far as couples, Bo & Hope should rank #2 not #10!
ReplyDeleteWe will have to agree to disagree. It's not just about the acting although I think that is important. Mac and Rachel in the 1970s were pure brilliance and the 'triangle' with Iris was the best in soap history. I enjoyed Bo and Hope in the early days as a nice young love story but not so much in recent years. But I think both deserve to be in the Top 10.
ReplyDeleteWell said *awtribute*. ANOTHER WORLD deserves more than one spot on this list. Mac and Rachel were a given(and I'm expecting to see Steve and Alice), but Cass & Frankie deserve to be here as well. They may not have gotten all the magazine covers and Digest awards that DOOL and GH were hogging, and Emmy certainly ignored them(though Stephen Schnetzer and Alice Barrett were both deserving), but AW did devote two special B&W episodes to them and Frankie's brutal murder sent the show on a downward spiral it would never recover from---if that's not impact I don't know what is. What made Frankie & Cass so special and so memorable though was the amazing chemistry Barrett and Schnetzer shared. As it is, few couples on this list can compare with them in that department.
ReplyDelete@Roger...I do agree about Cass & Frankie, WONDERFUL couple and fun, when I was watching old episodes that started on Soapnet (when it actually showed soap operas) I was able to catch the years I hadn't seen before and I was in hog heaven. Seeing Frankie as she came to town and back history. Kathleen returned and I didn't like Cass & Kathleen, I know they were a popular couple but probably because when I went back watching Cass & Frankie was married and pregnant with Charlie...fallen in love. As far as Cass I loved him with Lila more so then with Frankie and it was because of Lisa Pelso. I grew up with her as "Wendy" she was delicious!
ReplyDeleteharlee, I was a big Peluso fan from SFT too. Loved her as Lila on AW. When Kathleen came back the writers had changed. I know a lot of viewers that started watching after she had left in 1986 so their loyalties were with Frankie at that point, and so were the writers. It was a good triangle where there were three strong characters but the new writers didn't write the types of stories Cass and Kathleen had before. Kudos to Stephen Schnetzer for being so awesome with everyone.
As for Mac and Rachel, I wish every episode from their first two years was available.I can't believe this is the first entry for another world - this list is NOT impartial and it's clear the authors watched/were fans of some shows and knew little about others as the pickings of great couples from Another World is vast and a number outrank what has been on this list so far - Ryan and Vicky, Jake andVicky, Jake and Pauline, Dean and Jenna, Cass and Frankie, Michael and Donna, Steve and Alice, John and Pat, Cass and Kathleen, Catlin and Sally, Donna and Matt, Carl and Rachel

This is a knock-off of The Faceless Watch offered by Hammacher-Schlemmer for $130. The poor electroplating on the band is the biggest problem for me. The band already shows scuff marks from normal use in an office where the watch is exposed to a computer wrist pad and Formica desktop - not exactly a hostile environment for a timepiece. The links have a lot of "play" in them, no doubt due to the liberal mechanical tolerances allowed in the manufacturing process. The clasp was initially hard to disengage, but has loosened over time. The 1/2" tall LEDs are crisp and clear, but hard to read in direct sunlight. The O.co Details claim the bracelet is titanium...don't think so at this price. But wrapped around your wrist, it does feel hefty and looks masculine. The LEDs embedded in the dark steel band makes it unique and somewhat retro when lit up. It's already proven itself to be a great conversation starter. The adage "you get what you pay for" still applies here. But for $**, it's an OK deal.
These watches are great! We work hard and play hard so wearing a watch that is inexpensive and looks cool is - well - COOL! I would recommend this watch to friends. If it doesn't live up to your expectations - return it, and quit whining!
This watch isn't nearly as slick as you would think based on the image on the site. If you can figure out how to set the time, good for you! The display is poor and definitely hard to read especially if you have vision issues. It's fine at night. The watch is bulky and very think around the display area which does not show in any of the pictures. I returned it.
Watch did not fit and could not be adjusted. That should be made very clear in description.
My son (16) thought this was so cool upon seeing it online and for the price I couldn�t say no. We bought this one because of the bracelet style. He gets many compliments on it. The only negative thing I can say is it that it is extremely hard to see in the sun as the LED�s don�t show up well. But he still loves it.
This watch was giving to my brother as a xmas present. He loved it.... he know i always try to be different n this was perfect...its steel n good quality
Bought this interesting-looking watch, on a whim. Looks cool but not the easiest watch to read. Wear it occasionally but not an everyday watch, in my opinion. Good price point for a "conversation piece" watch.
Nice watch. Simple to use. Good attention attracter/conversation starter.
Product never shipped. Problem in this warehouse for Overstock. Have cancelled the order on this one.
The band is not expandable. My wrist can barely accommodate the un clasped band, and I find it impossible for me to attach an secure the clasp with one hand. Looks like a fun watch for someone who can use it.

Comments about Intense Tire Systems Intense Tires 909 26" DH MTB Tire:
I tend to get rear pinch flats. This tire, especially when run tubeless, is very hard to damage. Good bead fit to rim, easy to mount, affordable. Rather heavy, and while I wouldn't say it wears out quickly, it is soft, and doesn't last quite as long as I would like. Still a great tire.

I've tried different brand of tires. Non-Tubeless, Tubeless, ranging from $15 to $75. When ever it's time to change (bald in 2 to 3 months due our trails are mostly volcanic),I never get the same one. I am always looking for something better until I tried these. I am now approaching 5 months on this tire and it is far from bald. Good cornering traction. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++You can't beat the price either.

FBI takes aim at ZTE over alleged Iran dealings, report says
The FBI is investigating Chinese telecommunications company ZTE for its alleged dealings with an Iranian telecom, according to a new report.
The Smoking Gun is reporting, citing sources, that the FBI is investigating ZTE for allegedly acquiring hardware and software from U.S.-based technology companies and then illegally shipping them to Iran's government-controlled carrier, the Telecommunication Company of Iran (TCI).
Reuters, which first reported on the allegations back in March, said at the time that ZTE bought surveillance equipment that could have been used by TCI to spy on Iranian citizens. The contract, according to Reuters, was inked … Read more

My dumb TV doesn't decode 1080p video all by itself. It needs some other piece of hardware do do that. A cable box, a BluRay player, a PVR. If I want to play videos that I've independently collected, none of those devices will do what this $35 stick will do. Neither my TV, cable box, or bluray has a user accessible file system. None give me a way to display my own videos, to organize my own videos, to stream my own videos. Adding a $35 single-core MK802 ii gives it all of that ability, making the TV much smarter than it was before. |
The MK808 (on the geekbuying site) reads: Great News!! All of the MK808 sold by GeekBuying.com can support Real 1080P output, here is the newest firmware update instruction: http://blog.geekbuying The MX1 already came with that built-in. The specs are very similar and the price point is what you may want to consider as well. I can say I am very pleased with the MX1 but I would probably have been happy with the MK808 as well after updated all the firmware, etc. Edit: One concern I have about all of these tv sticks is the amount of time people say they are waiting for theirs. I don't know if the amount of time has to do with ordering directly from the site because they may be fulfilling the orders for Amazon 1st - As I stated in my post, 4 days after ordering, the unit was at my door. Also, I paid $90 or so for mine for getting the one with the remote. Even ones without the remote (MX1) are still $15 more than the unit listed by the OP. Read the reviews on Amazon for both units and make your selection that way. (evaluate the price point too) - I think this is an excellent price point and might get one for the other television in the house. Last edited by freelance; 01-06-2013 at 10:28 PM.. Olivia Emisar = @Freelance1m on Twitter
I wouldn't buy this. This has always been flloating around from 50-60 dollars. MX2 is also better as MK808 doesnt have bluetooth. The MK808 is also plagued with wifi issues rendering it completely useless without an ethernet adapter which is OK if you are using it near a router and have extra plugs.
so can you browse the web and check email with this thing as long as I get a keyboard/mouse?

I thought I was doing the right thing by trying a "better" power supply. Ever since my 808B has been buggy so sending it back. Instead I went with the new Rikomagic for $88 @geekbuying. More money but bleeding edge and a familiar name brand.

This puppy is FAST https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoe8HU0 Correction, it wasn't the MK808B, it was the HDMI cable. I suspected that but really wanted the Quad core so the slower one will migrate to the back room when the Riko arrives. Last edited by monkeybiz; 05-19-2013 at 08:39 PM.. |

A word from Cafe Spiaggia
As the more casual sibling of renowned Spiaggia, Cafe Spiaggia has come into its own as a favorite dining destination for locals and visitors alike. In an artful, warm setting featuring reproductions of 15th century Italian murals, the contemporary Cafe serves dishes reminiscent of authentic
Italian sidewalk eateries and trattorias. Chicago Magazine said, "This stylish Cafe sends out lively versions of regional classics…topnotch handmade pastas, fine main courses, and the best tiramisu and ice creams in town.

Diner Reviews
We recently celebrated our
anniversary of our first date at Cafe Spiaggia (we've been together 7 yrs now) as it was the place of our first date. The Cafe has always been our preference over the restaurant as its more casual nature is just more expected for italian dining. As always the food was incredible and the service very attentive. You can never be disappointed by dinner here. Its a great place to entertain or enjoy dinner for two. Of note, the sauces with wild boar/cinghiale are very well done - rich and deep flavors with the expected tastes of the best Italian food."

Everyone in the group is able to
be accommodated with the wonderful food here!"
Dined on 3/9/2014
This was a celebration for my
friend's birthday. Neither my friend, my husband nor I like to have the celebration acknowledged. So, Café Spiaggia had to make us happy without knowing about the special occasion. We had a great time and look forward to eating there again and again. We are looking forward to the restaurant reopening, too."
Dined on 3/8/2014
This grand cafe has gone down hill
on food and service. I once loved this spot but not anymore."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Context- my wife's birthday along
with her mom and sister who flew in from South America. Noted that on my reservation as well as when we arrived. At no time did any wait staff acknowledge this or bring a token pastry with a candle - we had ordered dessert too! We went home to sing happy birthday."
Dined on 3/4/2014
Love the pasta, was tasty and
great texture. The bucatini was delicious as well as the burrata (appetizer). We also had the sorbet for dessert, and service was great. I have come back multiple times and it was amazing every time."
Dined on 3/4/2014
When we plan a trip to Chicago we
ususally book Cafe Spiagga for our first night since we arrive early evening. Unfortunately, the last few experiences have been hit or miss. This year was a miss-my wifes pasta dish was underwhelming and overall, the experience was not what were used to from CS. We put CS back on our list last year after a few years off, and it lived up to our expectations. Maybe with Spiagga currently closed for reservations, this affects the food prep for CS. Anyway, the ambience is great, but the prices dictate that the food has to lead the way, and CS falls short in that regard."

Right on Oak and Miracle Mile.
Food and service outstanding and not outrageously expensive"
Dined on 2/28/2014
Cafe Spiaggia delivers
well-prepared but thoroughly conventional Italian food -- mostly Tuscan. It can be surprisingly hard for vegetarians, and the service has often been very spotty. This most recent visit was quite fine. And it remains a very quiet place, where one can talk easily."
Dined on 2/28/2014
Food, artfully prepared and
delicious. Ambience and service impeccable. The calamaretti was our favorite…the pasta mimicking the calamari perfectly. The calamari ringed by delicate anchovies complemented the pasta. Our second, the salmon, was cooked to perfection…crispy on the outside and medium rare on the inside. The service was attentive but not intrusive."
Dined on 2/25/2014
We were a party of six (with
several being kids) and it was apparent that the auto-gratuity policy led to us being ignored most of the night. Good food, but won't be back."
Dined on 2/25/2014
Cafe Spiaggia is on the second
floor, which gives you a nice view of the surrounding city. We enjoyed our evening very much starting with the friendly and excelent service. We both had different pasta dishes, and it was clear that the pasta was "homemade." Just excellent. Prices were very reasonable. We'll be back next time we visit Chicago. It is about a mile walk up Michigan Avenue from the hotels on the Chicago river, which makes for an enjoyable stroll, except it was 10 degrees out there. Be prepared!"
Dined on 2/16/2014
Even with the construction and the
changes it's still great food and interesting cocktails."
Dined on 2/16/2014
This once hot spot place needs an
over haul and really lacks in food and service."
Dined on 2/16/2014
Cafe Spiaggia continues to be our
favorite weekend lunch spot. The food choices are always interesting, and we've yet to order anything that wasn't delectable. On our latest visit, my wife and I each had a mushroom and polenta appetizer that was incredible. I had the bucatini for my entree, and my wife had an egg dish called ouve. We shared and loved both dishes. The wine-by-the-glass selection was also great, with a nice variety of price ranges. Finally, our waiter and the hostesses could not have been nicer or more attentive. Overall, we could not have had a more enjoyable, or more delicious, time."
Dined on 2/15/2014
The food here was some of the best
I have ever had! The wine pairings were also excellent. The service was good for a busy Valentine's day."
Dined on 2/14/2014
We went with high expectations to
Cafe Spiaggia. We've been to Spiaggia before (now being renovated) and so decided to try to the cafe side of the restaurant. Unfortunately, it did not live up to our expectations. Service was lackluster (ordered items forgotten, wine brought midway through a course); a man with a large trashcan kept making his way back and forth through the restaurant. Some dishes were decent (pork, mushroom pasta), while other dishes definitely had the taste like they were poured out of a can (lentil soup). To top this all off, a $200 bill. Needless to say, Cafe Spiaggia feels like a chaotic overpriced trattoria. We actually booked a couple reservations ahead for this place, now cancelled, in its place: NoMi."
Dined on 2/15/2014
The servers and maitre de were
very friendly and took our coats right after we checked in for our reservation. The waiter was extremely helpful in explaining what a lot of the menu items are as they are in Italian and I did not understand a good portion of the menu. I will warn you that if you are not in to bold flavors you may be a little offput by some of the food. Specifically I ordered what was a "medium" strength cheese from the five selections they had, and the waiter pointed out it was one of the better cheeses. The flavor from it even with a healthy does of honey was overwhelming. The main courses were extremely good, specifically the gnocchi was so delicious. Overall I highly recommend this place."
Dined on 2/15/2014
Our dining experience was started
off with a glass of champagne and it only got better with each course. The salad was delicious and the wild boar gnocchi was amazing!!! We wanted more! :-). We chose the steaks which were wonderful and finished with an awesome piece of tiramisu."
Dined on 2/14/2014
We celebrated our 21st wedding
anniversary there and the restaurant décor, atmosphere, and cuisine were superb!"
Dined on 3/10/2013
Cafe Spiaggia offers a great prix
fixe (presso fisso) menu for lunch. It showcases well the talent of Spiaggia and ensures prompt service. I usually do not like gnocchi as it is often just a lump of starch but in this case I would recommend their gnocchi with wild boar ragu. It is light and very tasty. They also offer a creative selection of sorbetti & gelati. It changes with the seasons. Despite being a small space, it accommodates well a party of 4. If you want a view of the Oak St spiaggia (beach), you need to go to the Restaurant."
Dined on 1/26/2014
Although Spiaggia is going through
a renovation, the Cafe Spiaggia is not, and we had a delightful experience there. Certainly more of a gourmet treat than we expect at more casual Italian restaurants, the atmosphere and certainly the food were just excellent. It was the best restaurant we went to during our four day stay in Chicago, and both of us highly recommend it!!!"
Dined on 2/9/2014
An unbelievably delicious and
romantic way to spend an anniversary. We had a table overlooking a snowy Michigan Ave. lovely view, really amazon food. Never have I eaten such a refined Zappa de fagiole. I ate the burrata which was an impressive amount of cheese, which was perfectly accented by the mostarda and olive oil. Pasta, steak, everything was refined tasty and while expensive, was not overly expensive (we obviously skipped the truffle pasta, though it was tempting). A great spot discovered!"
Dined on 2/8/2014
The food was fabulous--slightly
innovative served in portions that were just right. The service was impeccable--the waiter was very knowledgeable and able to quickly explain menu items. The service proceeded smoothly and quickly without interrupting our conversation. And to top it off, the cost was very reasonable for what we ordered. A very good value indeed."
Dined on 2/8/2014
The atmosphere was intimate and
romantic; sit by a window if possible. Food was good but a little heavy and saucy. If you are vegetarian, which I am, there aren't many entre options besides pasta, unless you design your own by asking them to alter another menu option. There weren't any that looked like they would be able to stand alone without the meat/chicken/fish (in my opinion at least). Overall, really positive experience. I would try it again."
Dined on 2/8/2014
I was a bit worried on the day of
because I was running behind and I knew it was restaurant week! We called and they were absolutely amazing and accommodating about it all. The food was really really excellent and I literally left in pure happiness. Spot on, the entire meal, well done CS!"
Dined on 2/6/2014
My wife and I enjoyed all of our
food, from the soup, mozzarella appetizer and pasta dishes, to the zeppole dessert. Even though we benefited from the three course prix fixe pricing from Chicago's restaurant week, the portions were a bit smaller than we expected, especially the appetizer and pasta dishes. We would certainly dine there more often if the value was a bit better."
Dined on 2/6/2014
We have been Spiaggia (and Café
Spiaggia) customers for many years. Expectations have been high since our first visit, and the restaurant has yet to disappoint. Business was brisk this last time, perhaps in part because the main restaurant is undergoing renovation, but that in no way detracted from our experience: the staff, the atmosphere, and the food measured up in every respect."
Dined on 2/4/2014
i noted that we were celebrating
my friend's 25th birthday, and they personalized the menu, put a candle on her dessert and even gave her a $25 gift card. so thoughtful. i will go back for the service alone :)"
Dined on 2/4/2014
This is a good, consistent kitchen
which is why we continue to dine here. Portions are perfect, Prices average for the area but much less than sister restaurant next door. Can not go too wrong here."
Dined on 2/4/2014
We went for restaurant week and
were not disappointed. The service was prompt and very friendly.The complimentary rosemary focaccia and parmesan crisps were delicious. The arugula salad was the right balance of sweet, peppery, and tangy. The bean soup had a fabulous depth of flavor, especially with the olive oil and cheese swirled in. We both had the gnocchi with boar ragu, which we agreed was the best gnocchi we'd ever had. For dessert we got the zeppole & gelato. We felt the dark chocolate gelato was too bitter, but our server had warned us about it, so that was on us. All in all, we had a wonderful restaurant week experience and will definitely be back to explore their regular menu (though it will be hard not to get the boar ragu again!)"
Dined on 2/3/2014
We were there for restaruant week-
they brought out the food too rapidly- we barely had a chance to sip our coctail before our food came out. Very rushed. Nice atmoshphere, good sevice."
Dined on 2/1/2014
We dined at Cafe Spiaggia for
restaurant week 2014 and chose to start with a cheese plate before getting our 3 courses. We easily came to a consensus that Baladin was our favorite! Out of the courses we had, I loved the Mozzarella (apple mostarda, prosciutto, extra virgin olive oil) and Cappellacci (butternut squash, brown butter, sage, forest honey) the most. Everything was good, but these stood out to me as being better than the other dishes."
Dined on 1/30/2014
The menu is diverse enough to suit
all tastes, portions are generous, and quality is certainly there. A few examples to note: 1) ordered meatballs for appetizers and they very soft and flavorful 2) ordered cauliflower side dish and it was a bit salty but tasted great with a hint of spiciness 3) ordered gnocchi for main, was blown away at the soft pasta; also the sauce was not the traditional creamy sauce that goes with gnocchi but it was similar to marinara but lighter 4) tried my eating mate's pappardelle w/ antelope meat, really unique flavor (almost like pepperoni mixed with lamb) 5) service was really good - staff very knowledgeable on the menu and answered questions thoroughly Looking forward to trying the main spiaggia restaurant!"
Dined on 2/1/2014
An average meal; didn't make me
want to go back. Parmesan crackers good, but focaccia was airy, not dense and crunchy. For 1st course I had the mozzarella-not good. It had a dry rind and sour flavor, the proscuitto was flavorless. For 2nd course I had gnocci with wild boar ragu - well balanced but needed more pork. Gnocci had good texture, but overall it wasn't memorable. Dessert was gelati - gingerbread was complex and spicy; salted caramel was good but on the verge too sweet; stracciatella was unremarkable. Cafe Spiaggia called to confirm my reservation. The voice mail asked me to call back to confirm. It's a small thing, but the message should be to say they look forward to seeing me, not put the onus on the customer to "re-reserve.""
Dined on 2/2/2014
Food was very tasty and there was
a nice selection on the menu. Cocktails were good. For appetizers we had a cheese plate and the calamari, both were great. For entrees we had the Bucatini and Paparadelle, which were very filling and flavorful. The gelato was a nice way to end the meal. The space was crowded but had a nice view of Michigan Ave. The only downside was the service, our waiter gave us a menu and then didn't take our drink order for about 15 min. He also did not bring our check for a long time, but we were not in a hurry so it was fine. Overall I would go back for the food but would hope for a different server."
Dined on 1/31/2014
My co-worker and I were hosting an
out of town guest and had no clue what to expect. Cafe spiaggia had amazing service very knowledgeable about both the menu and wine list and that very beautifully and simply explained items that or guest (not a native English speaker) inquired about. I usually never go blind to a restaurant but this one did not let me dow the food is not the most amazing ok ever had.in Chicago but its quite yummy the capresata and squash ravioli will probably are probably going to be the reason I never try any th ing else there and and it's well worth the money even if it's not restaurant week. Side note, 2 dishes were a little salty, just a heads up for those watching salt intake."

We had a Weds night reservation
and the place was packed. We still managed to snag a window table and had a delicious meal. Instead of both ordering off the Restaurant Week menu, we did one of the pri fix menus and then ordered off the menu for the rest. This was a perfect choice, as the gnocchi with wild boar ragu is not to be missed!"
Dined on 1/29/2014
I used to frequent this restaurant
bi-weekly when I worked in the building but it seems tired and dated now. Food was okay but I generally don't eat pasta so was looking forward to some amazing homemade pasta - I am still looking..... I didn't go to the restroom, my friend did, but since Spiaggia is closed it was far away, mazelike and apparently a broom closet without a working lock. I expected more - try piccolo sogno AMAZING!"
Dined on 1/28/2014
It had been so long since we even
thought about going to Cafe Spiaggia, we had forgotten how good it was. It is so overshadowed by its big sister that it gets lost in your choices of places to go. Maybe the close of Spiaggia for "renewal" will do wonders for the Cafe. The burrata was outstanding. The porchetta was succulent and the best of any we have had. Great all-Italian list has many values form lesser-known regions. It pays to try something other than Tuscany or the Piedmont. Considering the prices at Spiaggia, the same quality of food at the Cafe, while not cheap, is reasonable. We won't wait so long to go back again."
