Outback Steakhouse Complaint - Disappointing and terrible service
Review by
Comments (3)
LITTLETON, COLORADO -- I am a widow and single mom of two boys ages 9 and 11. October 21 we ate at the Outback in Littleton, CO. We were sat in the back next to the kitchen, where the wait staff decided to set up their social hour. We had tea and water pitchers behind us and much conversation that my children really did not need to hear. Laughing, joking, and complaining. At one point we had a chapstick propelled under our table which my 9 year old was asked to retrieve. The food came out and was cold, my steak was dry and over cooked. My 9 year old was sharing my steak and did not like it either. I complained and sent it back and they offered him something else. He asked for the ribs. They brought out a children's portion of ribs with mashed potatoes. I ate my baked potato. I was charged for my steak. Never received a replacement and they took the steak back to the kitchen, apparently the cook wanted to see it. We went back for dinner last week on Nov. 24th. My eldest brought his brother's new 200 page Green Lantern book to read and was sitting next to me in the booth. We ordered dinner, the waiter also received a table of 6 adults which seemed to be much more important to him. He brought them bread and water. We received no bread or water. I had ordered a orange colored martini and he carried my drink in his left hand while balancing a tray of drinks for the other table. He went to set the drink down and spilled the drink across the middle of my son's "NEW" book and over the table. Laughed it off saying " I'm not that good at carrying those drinks." Walked off to deliver the other drinks, didn't apologize or offer to help dry things up. I asked my youngest to ask the girls in the front for some paper towels and cleaned up the mess, drying the book as much as possible. The manager eventually came over and asked if I wanted another drink. She told us not to worry and to enjoy our meal that she would take care of it and if we wanted dessert to order that as well. I did order another drink as well as a glass of water. We had to wave down the waiter and ask if we may have bread with our dinner. He then said he was sorry he had spilled the first drink. Our food came. I and my eldest ordered steak medium. Mine was perfect my son's was almost rare. He ate it not wanting to wait for another to come out. The boys ordered cheesecake for dessert. The manager came by to see how their dessert was and said she new how frustating it was to have a spill on a book because she had just spilled something on her cookbook that same day. I asked her if she was going to be taking care of the meals as well and she said sure if you would like. She went to catch the waiter. The bill came and the cheesecake and one kid's meal was removed from the bill. I was charged for my meal, another kid's meal and both my drinks. We paid and left. I have enjoyed going to the Outback for many many years. Not sure why the service has gone down hill so poorly but extremely disappointed. Its the last $100 I plan on spending there. I feel we were treated as second class citizens and I assure you we are not.

I had too many bad experiences at my local Outback.
As you imply, things CAN go right at an Outback. In practice, however, it seems that they often go wrong. I'm not planning to darken their door again myself. Well written complaint.

You got burned by a chain restaurant. I have tried them all and it's hit or miss. When you're spending this kind of money you expect better. Unfortunately management is lacking and the wait staff is mostly kids. The kitchen could care less if you're satisfied. Send it back and you're on your own with what you get. Applebee's is the worst, they are consistently bad. Sorry you had a bad experience with them.

I do not understand why you paid for the spilled drink. I commend you for not creating a scene and just paying the bill and leaving. You are going to protest with your wallet, which is what I would do also, but why did you pay for the drink?

Attorney Collection Scam
Developed in 2008 by a Nigerian scammer and proliferated in October of 2008, this scam directly targets individual attorneys and attorney firms under the guise of a client seeking an attorney to provide collection services.
The attorney is sent a counterfeit draft for as much as $550,000.
As with the work-at-home scams, the attorney is instructed to wire the lion's share of the draft to the client or to a 3rd party.
Because few people think to contact the account holder to verify the draft, and because the scammers have already hacked into the account holder's account to verify ongoing balances, the draft is always pronounced as "good" by the bank.
(see How to Really Verify a Check or Money Order)
Look for this scam to emanate from the Eastern European and Asian scam networks in the near future, and to include funds wired from hacked accounts.

Most likely the order will be fulfilled by the Ministry of Education and Science, which deals with issues concerning orphans and adoptions, according to Izvestia daily. But the ministry says it has not yet received instructions on the matter.
Tensions over the issue arose in mid-February, after the French National Assembly approved a sweeping bill to legalize gay marriage and allow same-sex couples to adopt children.
Soon after that childrens rights ombudsman Pavel Astakhov vowed he would do everything possible to ensure that Russian orphans are only adopted by traditional, heterosexual families. He quoted a recent incident regarding Egor Shabatalov

Ronaldo: United reunion was emotional
Cristiano Ronaldo refused to celebrate his goal during Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Manchester United out of respect for his six years with the Old Trafford club.
Ronaldo scored Real Madrid's first-half equaliser after Danny Welbeck had put the visitors ahead in the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie at the Bernabeu.
Instead of celebrating the former world player of the year opted to acknowledge the Real fans before making an almost apologetic gesture to the Red Devils dug-out.
"I was in Manchester for six years so tonight [Wednesday] was very emotional for me," the Portuguese said.
"I scored a goal but I didn't celebrate out of respect.
"Maybe United are favourites now, maybe not. Anything can happen. Sometimes we are better away than at home so we will see.
"It will be amazing to play at Old Trafford again after four years. It will be another emotional night."
Sir Alex Ferguson revealed Ronaldo went into the United dressing room to speak with his old team-mates.
"I spoke to him. He is sitting in our dressing room, talking to the lads," said the United boss.
"He had six years with us and I am proud of how he flourished.
"I blamed Patrice Evra for not challenging for his goal until I saw the replay and felt a bit stupid.
"His knee is about as high as Evra's head - phenomenal.
"I don't think any other player in the world can do that, certainly not Messi."
Ferguson said he would have accepted the result prior to kick-off.
However, it required a series of outstanding saves from David de Gea to ensure the tie remained deadlocked.
"De Gea was excellent," Ferguson said. "He made three or four top saves.
"He has been improving all season.
"There was one save in the first half which he touched onto the post (from Coentrao) which was superb.
"I am pleased for him. He is an Atletico boy playing here in Madrid, but he has done well."
Welbeck came within inches of nabbing a second after some slack goalkeeping from Diego Lopez.
And Robin van Persie completely mistimed a volley when he had a clear sight of goal, which allowed Xabi Alonso to clear.
Then, in stoppage time, Van Persie had another goalbound shot turned away by Lopez.
"It was possible for them to win 3-1 because they had two big chances when Alonso cleared off the line and Diego made a save," said Mourinho.
"I won't criticise what they did. United did their job well and got the result they wanted.
"They came here not to concede space and goals and they didn't play to win.
"But they know Real Madrid can do it there."
It is widely assumed Mourinho will find himself out of a job should the Spanish giants fail in their quest.
However, the former Chelsea coach insists he is not under pressure.
"I don't feel any pressure," he said.
"I work hard, am very serious and am happy with what I do.
"I have peace of mind and my head is high, but there is no pressure really.
"I have no idea (if his future depends on the second leg) and I am not worried about it."
However, Ferguson feels such an outcome would be very harsh.
"For Jose to be here as long as he has is unusual and a mark of respect for the work he has done," said the United boss.
"I don't know how many coaches they have had - 25? That's more than the years I have been here."
United now face Reading in the FA Cup on Monday, then have a trip to QPR and a home game with Norwich, giving them a relatively straightforward period until the deciding leg at Old Trafford on March 5.
In contrast, Real have two meetings with Barcelona.
"It doesn't matter unless we win," said Ferguson.
"Jose will have troops revved up for it, but so will we and we have a chance."

It's a far cry from the doc-in-a-box shops of days gone by established solely to treat minor injuries, officials at the Cleburne Surgical Center said during the center's Thursday open house.
"I think of us as big city tech with that hometown feel," said Suzette Rieger, a registered nurse at the center focussing on pediatric patients.
CSC Administrator Melissa Dansby agreed.
"We're like a one-stop shop," Dansby said. "Kind of like a mini hospital, but without all the patients or the price."
The open house offered area residents, doctors and caregivers a behind the scenes look at several of the center's services and programs before returning to the lobby to eat at the complimentary buffet.
No patients being present Thursday afternoon, rock music filled the center. Staff members wore T-shirts sporting their favorite singer or band an encouraged attendees to vote their favorite. Certified Surgical Technician Tabatha Williams and her Pink Floyd T-shirt won that battle of the bands.
Fun and free food aside, Dansby said the purpose of the night was to get word out about services old and new offered by the center.
"It's getting more common for people to get on the web and price shop compare on procedures," Dansby said. "Which I think is cool because for so long [insurance companies and health care providers] had a monopoly on that information."
Dansby said CSC's goal is to keep health care costs down and called the center, which opened in 2007, a clinically and financially "better option" than hospitals for treatments and options in many cases, and said that list is growing.
"We've added more and more services since we've been here," Dansby said. "Eyes, ears, general surgeries, orthopedics, podiatry, spinal surgery and a lot more."
Shannon Campbell, a spinal fracture representative with Care Fusion, said spinal fractures, which affect health in many ways, especially pulmonary function, used to be treated with narcotics and bed rest, which he called the worst thing.
The minimally invasive procedure takes about 30 minutes and works far better, he said.
"You can come in here with a broken back and go out with a band aid on your back about two hours later," Campbell said. "That's how advanced we've become with this procedure."
Pain management is key as well, Dansby said.
"We work to customize every patient's pain control plan and, where possible, avoid it in the first place," Dansby said.
Dr. Robert Groysman, the center's director of anesthesia, selected Lance Mitchel, an optometrist with Cataract & Eye Center, as his guinea pig to demonstrate the center's approach to pain management. Using an ultrasound machine, Groysman demonstrated where he would deliver a numbing shot to Mitchel were he having hand surgery. The procedure, in most cases, helps patients wake up from procedures and go home quicker, many times with less or no post-procedure pain medication needed.
The group next moved into another room where Certified Surgical Technician Juan Granados, on a replica skeleton, showed the proper procedure for treating a broken ankle, which also afforded a opportunity at a bit of hands-on surgery to members of the group.
Perhaps most importantly, Dansby said, is that as word of CSC spreads, more out-of-town doctors are seeking Cleburne out.
Dr. Olayinka Ogunro, a Dallas doctor specializing in hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder and arthroscopy procedures, recently agreed to work out of the Cleburne office one day each week.
"And we have several other doctors who have offices in Burleson and other places but kind of rotate offices and are out here a day or two a week," Dansby said. "Which I think is exciting for our health-care options in Cleburne and helps where, for some of these specialties, you don't have to drive to Fort Worth or Dallas."
Ogunro joked that he learned about CSC on the Internet.
"I actually Googled surgery centers in Cleburne," Ogunro said. "What appeals to me is that it is easier for the patients to get in and get their procedures done more quickly."

Casey Prather didn't waste time announcing his return to his teammates and all those in the O'Connell Center. Eighteen seconds after checking in during the second half, he skied for an offensive rebound, corralled it and went back up to draw a foul. The crowd noticed the effort, but it was the Florida bench that appreciated it the most. The junior has developed a knack for the athletic plays.

Nothing official here, but a pretty good clue that there could possibly be a third level of the Disney Dining Plan for 2009. Many of the deal and package changes get released to visitors from the UK earlier than they get released in the US due to the differences in vacationing patterns for British guests. Free dining was released there first, for example. Now UK guests are being offered a Quick Service Dining Plan that includes 2 quick service meals and 2 snacks per day plus a length-of-stay refillable mug for their resort. What do you think about this? Would you take advantage of this new dining plan? Would you do this instead of the Basic Dining Plan that has been offered? If you haven't done DDP before, would this convince you to try it out?
Yep, I'd try it out for sure! For one, in my case, it becomes more affordable (which I hope because a CS for a family is a lot cheaper than TS meals) and I would consider staying on site more often than I do. Omit the TS and can plan those how I want and if I want since we only do at most two to three TS meals in an 8 day period. This would definitely work for us... ...IF IF "Quick Service Meal" = Counter Service. It's got my vote.
I think this is a great option and another way to try to get people to stop making ADR's. Maybe this will help with this as well. We always have a TS meal on everyday and sometimes 2. It depends on where we are and what we had planned for the day. We will typically do Chef Mickey's on the morning that we are going to MK and do dinner at the Hoop-De-Do that night. This is 3 TS credits for us for that day. We actually are thinking of stepping to the premium plan for the next trip to see if this better suits us, as we also enjoy some of the other places that require 2 TS credits. This would be an interesting option though, later this year, if it becomes available since I am trying to squeeze in a trip between now and the end of the year. This would help keep our price down.
Yes I heard about this rumor awhile ago. I know some agents at other companies that also know about this. We will just have to wait and see.
Definitely!!!! I am not thrilled with the dining plan now that gratuities are no longer include. I think that would be a fabulous option and you could once again have your meals paid for up front and not have to worry about the additional costs for gratuities.
I think that the premium plan includes the appetizers and the gratuity, if I am not mistaken.
Heard from inside source tonight....we are going to get the same dining offer as the UK...don't know date yet...
I would be interested in trying this new option when it becomes available. We usually end up eating CS meals because it just seems easier. A few years ago we had the dining plan and I found it difficult making ADRs and planning where we had to be and when.(we might not have had a park hopper pass) I like to be more spontanious(sp?). When we are ready to eat, I would just like to go to any resturant. Not worry that it's 6pm and now we have to stop what we are doing to make a reserved time seating.
This would be a perfect option for my family. We eat only one or two table service meals per trip, we just don't want to give up the time it takes to sit and be served. We eat alot of counter service, and a lot of snacks as we take the parks commando style. I hope this is true, and I sure hope it is made available to DVC members, like the regular dining plan is now.
Apparently, Disney is now making the announcement of the Quick Service Dining Plan official. I haven't seen anything yet about pricing, but will let you know if I do.
I will still get the DDP myself as I like to take the time to sit down & eat. Just DH & myself. No need to rush around, like to take our times. <smiles> Will be interesting to find out about the new plan though.
This is good news and something I would definitely try.

Devin Harris knew exactly what was coming.
As soon as the Jazz point guard walked onto the court Friday morning to warm up for practice, Harris picked up a ball and smiled.
Bring it on, the grin said. Fire away. I'm ready.
The questions poured in. What was it like playing with Josh Howard in Dallas? Did the Jazz dig for dirt when they asked you about his background? What makes the controversial small forward tick?
Harris didn't budge. Was Howard guilty of being too truthful and too direct during...

He's dissembling.
I'd bet that if you looked at various categories, some are up and some are down. If one looks at thefts of electronic goods, one might see that they are steady and h could still say the same thing about Apple products. Note that he did NOT say that thefts of electronics are up. He only said that if one were to subtact a certain brand, the stats would be different. |

I would bet that 99% of the people who own an iPhone already had a mobile phone before, so, with an iPhone they have an increased chance of theft. iPads might account for much of the growth though, since they *are* usually first-purchase devices. |

Call me sadistic, but one day I would love to buy a dummy iPhone (those ones they use for displays), pack it with C5 explosives and a remote detonation system, then head for the subways of New York...
... and if more people thought the same and did the same, THEN we may see a decline in iPhone theft (and an increase in mugger fatalities). |

If I criminal were't almost guaranteed to have an unarmed victim on NYC streets, I can guarantee you that they'd think twice about mugging someone. Also, it appears that you don't know what an assault rifle is, so you need to not participate in an intelligent debate about gun rights. Have a nice day.

The problem with your argument is that samsungs commercials are rude and insulting to the people who own iPhones, the very people that there trying to get to buy there phones. I will never buy a samsung product for that very reason. I find there commercials degrading and insulting as an iphone owner myself because they paint all i product owners as stupid, old and out of touch with whats cool which is total bs.

One of the biggest reasons I JB my iPhone 4 was for this reason. I downloaded an app "I got ya" which prevents the phone from turning off and takes a picture with the front camera on each unsuccessful PIN entry..all without the knowledge of the person with the phone. Really, really gave a sense of security while the "find my iPhone" could do it's thing. I hope either Apple allows this type of app in their App Store or an IP5 JB comes real soon.

Why doesn't apple and the cell phone providers allow phones with stolen serial numbers to be blackballed, if not tracked?
I was playing basketball at the YMCA the other day and apparently some people pry'd open some lockers and stole a few iphones. They knew to turn the phone off immediately so it couldnt be trackd by the "find my iphone" feature, then they probably wiped them when they got to a secure location and resold them. Those phones should still be traceable by SN but nobody seems to care. |

The "Find my iPhone" feature needs to be tweaked as it is too simple for anyone to get around. Same with notebooks as simply removing iCloud info from the system or performing a clean install is simple. There must be a better way.
Why not track the iPhone using its GPS chip? Tracking through iCloud accounts serves no purpose when it's an easy system to bypass. |

IMEI anyone?
Here in Europe we report a stolen phone to the police, they in turn list the phone as stolen and prevents the device from connection to the cellular network.
The process can be reversed if the device is returned to its rightful owner. This prevents all iPhone thefts, and instead thieves are taking iPod touch instead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...pment_Identity

Several years ago, I've seen several articles that Verizon would blacklist ESN/MEID's of the phones reported to them as stolen. They would then refuse to reactivate these phones unless you could prove to them that you are the original owner. Not sure if they are still doing this. I've seen several articles a few months back saying that AT&T would also start their own database to track stolen phones by IMEI. If they haven't started it yet, they will soon. Not sure where other carriers such as Sprint, T-Mobile, MetroPCS stand on this. |

I'm thinking a biometric reader on the phone... perhaps the button, to unlock, it requires your finger, any attempt to circumvent and the phone renders itself useless (firmware wiped, etc). Oh wait, iPhone theft crimes may become more violent with the need to lop off fingers.

Notice - nobody wants to steal a Lumia 920 or Samsung Galaxy S3. Thieves steal iThings because they have tremendous resale value. Whereas a Surface RT will resale at pennies on the dollar the moment after sale.

The Devils was the Ken Russell film version of the controversial play by John Whiting. The story, based on Aldous Huxley's The Devils of Loudun, concerns controversial 17th century French priest Urbain Grandier, whose radical political and religious notions and profligate sex life earn him many enemies. When a group of nuns appears to have been "bewitched" by Grandier, his rivals feed on the resulting mass hysteria, using this incident as an excuse to have the priest arrested.

The winner of this week's Virginia Tech-Miami game would seem to have the inside track because both teams have manageable paths down the stretch. The Hokies' final four ACC opponents — which include the last-place teams in both divisions — have a combined conference record of 9-11. The Hurricanes' is 5-8.
Had the Tar Heels been eligible, they would seem to be in control because their final three league opponents are a combined 4-9. And, as topsy-turvy as this season has been in the Coastal, it's hard to rule out Duke — which finishes against Georgia Tech and Miami.
''Every time you win in November, the next game's bigger, because there's a real prize out there, and that's a serious prize,'' Cutcliffe said.
AP Sports Writers Aaron Beard in Chapel Hill, N.C.; Pete Iacobelli in Clemson, S.C.; and Hank Kurz Jr. in Charlottesville, Va., contributed to this report.

PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) -Douglas Davis scored 15 points and Princeton defeated Dartmouth 71-43 on Friday night.
Patrick Saunders added 11 points for the Tigers (18-8, 9-3 Ivy League), who saw 12 of their players score. Princeton has won two games in a row after losing two straight.
The Tigers jumped out to a huge lead, as a 3-pointer from Dan Mavraides made the score 24-7 with 9:43 to play in the first half. Princeton led 39-20 at halftime.
In the first half, the Tigers shot 51.6 percent from the field (16-for-31), compared to only 30.4 percent for Dartmouth (7-for-23).
An 8-0 run in the second half gave Princeton its largest lead at 61-29 with 8:50 remaining.
R.J. Griffin paced the Big Green (5-22, 1-12) with nine points.
Dartmouth has lost four games in a row and is winless on the road this season.

Provo police looking for shooter who fired on Utah woman's house
By Kimball Bennion
The Salt Lake Tribune
First published Jan 11 2013 02:06PMA mysterious shooter is still at large after a Provo woman reported that someone fired a gun at her house, according to Provo Police.
Lt. Matthew Siufanua said the shots were fired at about 3:30 a.m. Friday in the area of 800 North and 800 West. A police officer was close enough that he could hear the shots from his patrol car. At about the time he went by to investigate, a woman called the police from her home to report that someone shot at her house. No one was injured.
Police later found bullet rounds that went through the woman's fence, car and bathroom window. Bullet casings matching a 22-caliber also were found on the ground at the intersection of 800 N. 850 West. Siufanua said the woman did not see who fired the gun or whether the shots were fired from someone inside a vehicle or on foot.
The victim had no gang affiliation and knew no reason why her house would be targeted, Siufanua said.
"We don't know what the connection is about, and she doesn't either," he said.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Provo Police Department at 801-852-6210.

SALEM'S LOT Stephen King Read by Ron McLarty A dark wind is blowing into Jerusalem's Lot, Maine, in the guise of antique furniture dealers R.T. Straker and Kurt Barlow. Novelist Benjamin Mears has returned to the village near Portland to exorcise his childhood demons. Immediately, townspeople begin suffering from strange flu symptoms, or disappearing altogether. Mears and local high school teacher Matt Burke understand the peril the town faces. Soon they're joined by an artist, a doctor, an alcoholic priest, and an 11-year old boy, forming a modern-day team of vampire hunters. Ron McLarty goes straight for the jugular as he reads Stephen King's second novel. His voice is gently welcoming as he portrays the townspeople, giving them authentic rural Maine accents. But he also commands a menacing tone that will have listeners checking over their shoulders and under their beds. S.E.S. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 04]

Waterless urinals: Cheap. Green. But many think 'gross'
Despite environmental message, many stick up their noses at eco-toilets.
Sanitary fixtures in men's rooms don't make for polite conversation. Nor would many people want to read about them over a morning cup of coffee.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
But it's Jan Aceti's job to encourage people to think about them.
As principal of consulting firm Aceti Associates, Ms. Aceti tries to spread the word about "waterless" urinals, an environmental innovation that she hopes can ease the world's water problems.
Fresh water is a dwindling resource worldwide. A waterless urinal saves one to three gallons of fresh water per flush, compared with a normal model, according to a 2008 report Aceti's firm prepared for the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. In an office with 1,000 men, that adds up to 1.56 million gallons of water saved annually.
This waterless message has finally started to catch on, says Aceti.
"Can you imagine a more scenic setting for a waterless urinal?" she asks, pointing to the picture of an installation at the Taj Mahal in India.
At American ballparks, airports, and tourist attractions, waterless urinals are becoming increasingly common.
Yet despite the message of efficacy and environmental stewardship, the 15-year fight to further introduce these unorthodox urinals is far from over.
Hygiene myths abound. Many hold their noses when they hear of this no-flush system. Diverting streams of urine for use as fertilizer is another tough sell. But the industry is optimistic.
"By our estimates, less than 1 percent of the world's urinals use these waterless systems," says Randall Goble, vice president of marketing for Falcon Waterless Technologies in Grand Rapids, Mich.
He explains that the technology behind the setup is fairly simple. A biodegradable liquid sealant, such as oil or alcohol that is lighter than water, floats on top of a conventional water-filled drain.
The barrier layer, a one-way seal, allows liquid waste to flow through but blocks sewer gases from coming back up and entering the restroom. (See diagram above.)
One of the first waterless urinals, patented in Austria more than 100 years ago, involved periodic cleaning of the waste sediment. But modern, water-fed plumbing put an end to this chore.
In the 1990s, sealant-filled cartridges for waterless urinals were introduced. "Those cartridges took the 'ugh' factor out of the maintenance," says Mr. Goble.
In 2006, kitchen- and bath-fixture giant Kohler Co. came up with an optimal funnel-shaped design for the bowl, eliminating the need for disposable cartridges.
"In traditional urinals, the surfaces on the inside are wet much of the time, and you get biofilms of growing organisms," says Prof. Charles Gerba, an Arizona State University microbiologist who has researched surface contamination in public restrooms.
Flushing further creates a spray that lands on the rim and floor, creating a breeding ground for microorganisms.

text: Top 25 Albums of the 2000s Written by Daniel Moroz on Friday, 01 January 2010 18:17. I was going to do a year-end list for 2009 music releases, but whether because I'm getting old or because it was just that kind of year, there weren't any albums that I really liked. Noble Beast by Andrew Bird, Davy by Coconut Records, There Is No Enemy by Built To Spill, and Wilco by Wilco would all be contenders for the top 10-15 in most years, but in '09 they're near the top for me. Instead, with the 2000s coming to a close, I thought I'd do my top 25 albums of the decade. These aren't the "best" releases, per se, but just the ones I happened to like the best. Rankings are only of the time the list was made, and would probably change within a couple days if I had to think about it more. Now I'm not particularly good at reviewing art, so I'm just going to throw out a couple of lines from a song on the album, the cover-art, and some snippets of a selected review. Honorable mentions to every major release by Spoon, Black Sheep Boy by Okkervil River, and You Forgot It In People by Broken Social Scene. 25. Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica (2000) Well, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were - "3rd Planet" "For the first time, Modest Mouse craft an album, not a collection of songs. That they manage to go beyond any other rock band out there is staggering. The sequencing weaves a dramatic ebb and flow of emotion. Every song is packed with fantastic sounds that reach out for space and salvation. The band is now precise and broad... An intoxicating mix of uncertainty and confidence, The Moon & Antarctica constructs hallow approximations of heaven, hell, and deep space-- most of which exist vividly in Isaac Brock's questioning mind." - Pitchfork 24. Wolf Parade - Apologies To The Queen Mary (2005) I got a hand So I got a fist So I got a plan It's the best that I can do Now we'll say it's in God's hands But God doesn't always have the best goddamn plans, does he? - "Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts" "Wolf Parade's Boeckner and Krug sing so energetically it can be difficult transcribing, but as lyrics reveal themselves on multiple listens, Apologies is populated by ghosts, crumbled brick, haunted technology, Marcel Dzama animals, fathers and mothers, off-kilter love songs, rusted gold, and endtime/brand new world scenarios that furnish the album's ornate instrumentation and clever arrangements with an inspired if elliptical story arc... On paper this all could sound average, but Wolf Parade's true talent is transforming the everyday into the unprecedented." - Pitchfork 23. My Morning Jacket - It Still Moves (2003) What does it mean to feel? Millions of dreams come real A feelin' in my soul I'd never felt before - "Golden" "Jim James' high, lonesome croon is still recorded in a grain silo, and the band's sound is still a cathedral of reverb, but where you might expect grandiose 40-piece orchestras, bombastic gospel choirs and glossy, state-of-the-art digital effects, you will find only the vast, empty space that has always accompanied the band's instrumentation, allowing each note to resonate indefinitely, unhampered by unnecessary density... And with that, It Still Moves strums to a close, an album by turns beautiful and possessed, by others raucous and fiery." - Pitchfork 22. The Decemberists - Her Majesty, The Decemberists (2003) The bosun calls upon the quay Compass gone, he long has lost his way To lighthouse shine, to calm tide The bosun long has arrived - "The Gymnast, High Above The Ground" "Whatever the style, Colin Meloy's songwriting makes this band one of the strongest working today. His melodies are so perfect and his words so substantial that it reminds you how much slack you cut most other bands... what's most intriguing about Meloy's style isn't his erudition or kitsch; it's the strange tension he creates by mashing both qualities together... we know Meloy can slop through pirate gore in one song and write poetry in the next, but it's more interesting to hear how easily he can do both-- and how willfully he'll do either." - Pitchfork 21. Destroyer - Streethawk: A Seduction (2001) Tread lightly through the fog, said the Apothecary's daughter. You don't want to go, but you gotta, into the half -light of dawn. - "The Crossover" "There's something terrifically uplifting about that which emanates a wistful, hopeful positive ion charge of all rhyme, no reason... I quote myself because Destroyer's Streethawk is an opacity that also inspires instant enjoyment and involvement, and so it leaves its listeners with an endless list of thoughts and feelings about their thoughts and feelings when they listen to it, nothing have much to do with Bejar's thoughts or feelings, those being mostly inscrutable beyond the reaction they inspire." - CokeMachineGlow 20. Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002) Tall buildings shake Voices escape singing sad sad songs Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks Bitter melodies turning your orbit around - "Jesus, Etc." "Like the finest albums recorded, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot brings the highest of highs and the lowest of lows... Jeff Tweedy's fragility in the future, uncertainty in relationships and endless possibilities of what is possible amongst people. Unlike other artists where you try to relate your situation to the songs, Wilco's work just seems so natural, like a conversation with someone you grew up with... Yankee Hotel Foxtrot just sounds classic even though I can't think of an album that sounds anything like it." - TinyMixTapes 19. A.C. Newman - The Slow Wonder (2004) While preparing his soul for a perilous slide into crime, He had decided that he would err on this side of divine, Being told this was wise, that there'd be payback with interest in due time - "Miracle Drug" "Taking on the AC Newman moniker, Carl has an uncanny ability to cull the best out of 50 years of pop music... Taking chances within the realm of a three minute pop song takes sheer talent, and on The Slow Wonder, Carl Newman proves that he is one of the brightest songwriters working in music these days." - TinyMixTapes 18. Sufjan Stevens - Come On, Feel The Illinoise (2005) The sound of the engines and the smell of the grain We go riding on the abolition grain train Steven A. Douglas was a great debater But Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator - "Decatur, Or, Round Of Applause For Your Step Mother!" "This is earnest, hard-working music, morally rooted and technically precise... Musically, Illinois is strange and lush, as excessive and challenging as its giant, gushing song titles... in both theory and execution, Illinois is huge, a staggering collection of impeccably arranged American tribute songs." - Pitchfork 17. The Notwist - Neon Golden (2001) Fail with consequence Lose with eloquence And smile - "Consequence" "Neon Golden is replete with textured sounds, drifting (and occasionally driving) pulsations, and mesmerizing hypno-rhythms... thin layers of sound begin to unfurl themselves, something that transpires on almost every track-- whether it be the distinguishing Notwist banjo, clanking percussion or the layer upon layer of electronics... it leaves you mesmerized, lost in meditative thought and captivated by the grainy, exquisite textures." - Pitchfork 16. Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - Hearts Of Oak (2003) But mind eyes have seen the glory Of the fields of flowers and factory floors And my mind's content to lie at rest for hours Behind my loved ones' doors - "The High Party" "There's one thing that makes Ted Leo so damned successful - his earnestness and energy... Enthusiastic and genuine. His live shows do nothing but confirm it, and his down-to-earth, humble nature can only make him more endearing. Oh yeah, and he's pretty damn good songwriter and guitarist to boot... And while this album may not be revolutionary in any sense, it is rock in all its best senses." - CokeMachineGlow 15. The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Your Hair When We're Gone? (2003) The tuff ghost disappears for 3 days The tuff ghost is set in his ways I don't want to hurt you GHOST: Well you can't, 'cuz i'm already dead - "Tuff Ghost" "What truly sets Who Will Cut Our Hair apart is the near-total absence of traditional verse/chorus/verse framework in their songs; to nail beautiful, memorable lines with such remarkable ease is a feat unto itself, but to do so in essentially formless compositions is a different class of achievement entirely... The Unicorns continually and effortlessly sap the drama from rock's favorite, most maudlin topics, and transform them into simple, charming, light-hearted fun." - Pitchfork 14. The Decemberists - The Crane Wife (2006) In the lowlands, nestled in the heath A briar-cradle rocks its babe to sleep Its contents watched by Sycorax And Patagon in parallax A foretold rumbling sounds below the deep - "The Island, Come And See, The Landlord's Daughter, You'll Not Feel The Drowning" "An extra sprinkle of bombast, another song or two approaching the ten-minute mark, straightforward pop songs bigger and more polished than the ones that came before--all this while steadfastly inhabiting Colin Meloy's whimsical and archaic language and subject matter... for now he seems to be comfortable enough as a guy writing sweet folk pop songs alongside ever-shifting song suites and polite hard rock." - CokeMachineGlow 13. The Shins - Oh, Inverted World (2001) It's a luscious mix of words and tricks That let us bet when you know we should fold On rocks I dreamt of where we'd stepped And the whole mess of roads we're not on - "Caring Is Creepy" "Shins present a collection of retro pop nuggets that distill the finer aspects of classic acid rock with surrealistic lyrics, independently melodic basslines, jangly guitars, echo laden vocals, minimalist keyboard motifs, and a myriad of cosmic sound effects... this New Mexico-based quartet's adept knowledge of the progressive/art rock genre which they so lovingly pay homage to. Though the production and mix are somewhat polished... the Shins capture the spirit of '67 with stunning accuracy." - AllMusic 12. Destroyer - Destroyer's Rubies (2006) Cast myself towards infinity Trust me, I had my reasons Had a dress for every season, it was worth it. - "Rubies" "Bejar's imagery is as impenetrable and volatile as ever... but musically, he's forged a solid enough foundation to ground it. Part of Bejar's charm comes from his innate ability to balance sadistic verse, music geek grandstanding, and bawdy refrains with enough major seventh chords to score a full season of Brady Bunch segues. Rubies is heavy on pop craft... but it's more than just the art-house theater... it's the absinthe-drunk projectionist reveling in the sheer hedonism of it all." - AllMusic 11. The National - Boxer (2007) Make up something to believe in your heart of hearts So you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves So you swear you just saw a feathery woman Carry a blindfolded man through the trees - "Mistaken For Strangers" "Lyrically the album is both radiant and obscure, beautiful and frightening, sensual and repulsive; tying Berninger's words to dramatic and emotional music turns damn-near every song into an anthem... grinding, fuzzy guitar undercurrents and metronomic drums; these support Berninger's deliciously smooth baritone... the National have somehow tapped into a voice distinct enough to represent the feelings of many." - CokeMachineGlow 10. The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow (2003) After all These implements And texts designed by intellects We're vexed to find Evidently there's still so much that hides - "Saint Simon" "On Chutes Too Narrow, the blanket has been lifted, and the complexity and grace revealed underneath possess a surprisingly depth. Every instrument is allowed to exist in its own space, no longer smoothed together by excessive reverb. Mercer's voice resides comfortably at the front of the mix, revealing previously undiscovered layers of emotional subtlety and expressiveness. Every sound and syllable is perfectly and distinctly articulated, granting the album a much greater capacity for detail and profundity. And then there are the songs. Dear god, the songs! The uniqueness and inventiveness of James Mercer's melodic sensibility simply cannot be overstated. On Chutes Too Narrow, as with its predecessor, Mercer makes brilliant use of his formidable vocal range, writing soaring melodies every bit as original as they are memorable." - Pitchfork 9. The New Pornographers - Electric Version (2003) High five Look up, look alive As the scions of history Guess another mystery wrong - "Ballad of a Comeback Kid" "Electric Version is a rare gem, a perfect summer record that won't start collecting dust come autumn. It's a incredibly accessible and fun pop record with considerable depth and variety... Fused with more hooks in single songs than many entire albums, the album constantly hits at least several times with each song... you have to hear the album to "get" how clever and catchy of a pop album this is without projecting itself as superior or intelligent." - CokeMachineGlow 8. Stephen Malkmus - Face The Truth (2005) Nine times out of ten I'm not the guidance type I've been sitting on a fencepost for the brunt of my life And now I need some help to find out what I feel - "It Kills" "Malkmus pulls off sincerity remarkably well, admirable considering his jester reputation... so irrepressibly fun that you just can't stop playing it... He's back in the groove here: relaxed, confident, weird in his own special way, smart, and ready to make great albums again." - CokeMachineGlow 7. The Wrens - The Meadowlands (2003) Ten tons against me and you've gone I put your favorite records on And sit around It spins around And you're around again - "She Sends Kisses" "Chock-full of meticulously put-together songs, spanning a range from angry, restrained punkish attitude to pure down-in-the-dumps loveliness, the Wrens fill out their music superlatively, and use contrasting space with perfect expertise. Even more stunning is their construction of melodies that are unpredictable, with one note in them seeming to always drive home the killing blow... Every song here is stellar, but there are a bunch which are pure genius... this album, this glory of an album, is so ripe with emotional, jagged genius that it's absolutely the best example I've ever heard from indie rock." - CokeMachineGlow 6. Belle & Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress (2003) We hung about the stadium, we've got no place to stay We hung about the Tenderloin and tenderly you tell About the saddest book you ever read, it always makes you cry The statue's crying too and well he may - "Piazza, New York Catcher" "A Belle & Sebastian record is like a Wes Anderson film: a delicate, self-contained universe of immaculate detail and pitch-perfect wordplay, where unforgettable and nearly unbelievable characters interact to earn a few highbrow guffaws and reveal subtle truths about the human condition... Dear Catastrophe Waitress is so 1970s, over-the-top pop that it's by far the most challenging proper album the band has presented to its fanbase." - PopMatters 5. Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - The Tyranny Of Distance (2001) Chasing seafoam dreams around another dirty old town Parallel-run streams crawl through gray ocean from the green ground Oed und leer das meer beneath the leafy glassy surface All the songs you hear down there they have a purpose - "Biomusicology" "Ted Leo makes a significant creative leap forward from the body of his substantial catalog. By fusing the punk and retro-pop elements of his musical history with a noisy affection for '60s blues-rock formulas, The Tyranny of Distance showcases some of Leo's best songwriting to date. Laden with falsetto hooks and overtly romantic observations of the world, he is able to control combinations of aggression and sentiment and focus them into highly melodic expressions of pure emotion. Leo places himself next to songwriting greats such as Billy Bragg and Elvis Costello through lyrical wit and intelligence and with The Tyranny of Distance he proves that he is one of the most creative, forward thinking songwriters in the underground." - AllMusic 4. Arcade Fire - Funeral (2004) If the children don't grow up Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up We're just a million little gods causing rainstorms Turning every good thing to rust I guess we'll just have to adjust - "Wake Up" "A leap of faith is not required here. Funeral is like nothing you've heard before, and altogether familiar. Funeral comforts and cares, marches and dares, and towers over us with its anthemic choruses and orchestral arrangements.... Like many classic releases, Funeral strikes a chord deep within and establishes a personal connection. The reason why? Because The Arcade Fire digs tunnels like us, watches pots boil like us, falls asleep in the backseat like us, and loves the bittersweet merry go round of this life — like us. To top it off, they present all of this accompanied by some of the finest pop music and hooks of the year." - TinyMixTapes 3. The Decemberists - Picaresque (2005) I fell on the playing field The work of an errant heel The din of the crowd and the loud commotion Went deafening silent and stopped in motion - "The Sporting Life" "The stories here are as colourful and three-dimensional as Meloy has written, and they resonate emotionally... While the themes and subject matter of these songs are certainly recognizable, Meloy infuses them with a new kind of urgency, making them far more visceral and affecting than any of his previous work... The band itself must be commended as well, developing the drama inherent in Meloy's songs without overwhelming them... they sound much bigger and more proficient than before, but never intrusively so... Meloy's ambitions must be difficult to keep up with, but they've been consistently up to the task, making his songs even more animated and playful, and grounding his more airy-fairy lyrical tangents." - CokeMachineGlow 2. Stephen Malkmus - Stephen Malkmus (2001) The formless matters of the brain Inequality of the drifting chain A moment I could learn to love The salutations to the levels above - "Vague Space" "The album's polished production and earnest, ambitious songwriting... reclaims some of the energetic creativity of Pavement's best albums... instantly catchy, zany songs... its literate, funny eclecticism is almost irresistible." - AllMusic 1. Andrew Bird - The Mysterious Production Of Eggs (2005) I saw you standing all alone in the electrostatic rain I thought at last I'd found a situation you can't explain With GPS you know it's all just a matter of degrees Your happiness won't find you underneath that canopy of trees - "Masterfade" "The music on Eggs is ebullient, starting with a nameless, minute-long intro that features Bird's winding wind-swept violin and beguiling whistling. That's right, whistling-- he's credited as a "professional whistler" in his bio, and since he can make the breath passing between his lips sound like a singing saw or a radiant theremin, I'm willing to take him at his word. As for the violin, Bird's trademark instrument-- it's all over the album, but it's not what the album is about. Any plucking or sawing or twittering is done in service of the track at hand, not as a grand flourish of technique... Such verve is also evident in the words themselves. For the most part, Bird eschews straight-forward storytelling, opting instead to drench the listener with wordplay and imagery. He might send you to the dictionary a few times, but there's nothing wrong with a little research. He might also sideswipe you with seemingly random lines..but Bird's love of language is so evident in lines like this that it's easy to forgive him his excesses and missteps... Ultimately, whimsy leavened with wisdom and humor is what typifies this album." - Pitchfork 0 comments   Get Livefyre FAQ Sign in + Follow Post comment Link Newest | Oldest

6 Questions We Have About the New Food Pyramid
1. How big should my plate be? 2. What are they trying to tell us without actually saying?
The word "meat" doesn't appear anywhere on the diagram. Is using "protein" instead code for "eat less meat" (not that there's anything wrong with that, as we learned from Michael Pollan)? 3. Isn't there protein in vegetables, grains and dairy? So why is there a separate section for protein on the plate? 4. Are we really supposed to start eating fruit with dinner? 5. What was wrong with the pyramid? Nutrition professionals said it was confusing, but I think most people got the gist: eat more fruit, vegetables and grains, and fewer sweets. 6. Is anyone else with me on wanting to get a set of these divided plates (you know, the ones with little segmented areas for each component of your meal)? Advertisement

I didn't know I wasn't the only one, I just thought I was addicted to the games.
I usually listen to my own music while playing Pokemon.

I get the intro music to FR/LG stuck in my head whenever I play since that's the only game i'll listen to, all the other one's get muted.
Last year during my exams, every exam I took, I had the Route 201 theme in my head, I like to think that helped me get my A levels by keeping me calm.
Dawn fan, so sue me then!

I used to, but I've found that it doesn't happen as much now.
I spend a lot of time in the GTS so when I'm not on it, it constantly plays in my head.
FireRed and LeafGreen intro, and lavender town. FireRed was my first game, so yeah it sticks.
this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the tail, and ending with a grin.

The only music/songs I really liked from Pokemon are:
Ho-Oh Battle (HGSS)
That was reeeaaaally good. Knowing you were in an asian-like place combined with that music will get you into the mood
Oracion (Movie 10)
I even learned playing it in the piano. lol
Make A Wish (Movie 6)
That song really...I dunno...I guess emotional? Considering how sad Jirachi's life is..plus that song...
Temporal Spire (PMD2)
That was catchy.

Am I strange for turning on my gameboy and letting myself sit in lavender town while I do homework. Did it as a kid and I do it now. I love lavender town =w= Though I also find myself singing Varidian City as I drive to school.

I had that route theme in Hoenn that plays in some routes starting with the one after Slateport in my head right as I opened the forum and saw this page.
Yeah I get pokémon music stuck in my head sometimes. I think Hoenn music might stick with me the most because that was one of the first games I had and it seems to have the most memorable themes for me. Route 113's theme is particularly memorable, probably because I wrote a song to go with it once.
All fear the vampiric ghost skeletal uber mr. mime caterpie!
Thank you Megadio for the awesome banner.
Not Really..Well maybe the 1st generation theme song or the 4th Gen :333

I think in Pokemon songs sometimes, but they don't stuck.
I have the Join Avenue music stuck in my head right now, and I wish it would go away. Such an annoying tune....

Yess... actually its mostly the cave music.. especially Mt. Moons. For some reason it pops into my mind and then I find myself humming it and then my brother joins in.. >.> lol
Well I also have the Champion song on my head.. the one from Firered/Leafgreen. Its fun to having it in my mind actually.. and then I go to youtube to look for it and play it XD
The songs from Pokemon XD as well.. mostly the Peon battles. Also the Pokemon Stadium one battles with the noise from the Pokeball being thrown into battle as well as the announcer >__>
Yes, a bit too much tbh.

In short: Everything a race should be!In full: This race has reignited my passion for running and racing. Great course, slick organisation and enthusiastic marshals. Fab goody bag too. Well done and thank you to Barton and District AC for a wonderful and memorable event. Date of review: November 5, 2013
In short: A safe, fast and meticulously organised eventIn full: Will be a permanent fixture in my race calendar. It's flat (apart from the rise over the motorway half a mile from the end which I was dreading after cramping up last year!) and very fast. It was clear the organisers had put their heart and soul into this event. Seamless from start to finish. It's great to be able to just turn up, park, pick up race number, find a queueless toilet, have a decent warm up and run! Love the finish in Glanford Park, the goody bag and technical t shirt plus the extensive prize list which is always a bonus!Date of review: May 2, 2013
