|Senior defenseman Andy Davis tallied a goal and an assist for Tufts
SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY - The Skidmore College men's hockey team extended its win streak to four with a 6-2 win over Tufts University in ECAC East/NESCAC play on Saturday at the Saratoga Springs City Rink.
The win moves the Thoroughbreds to 6-5-2 in the ECAC East and 7-10-2 overall. The Jumbos have lost 10 straight to fall to 3-10 in NESCAC and 4-12-1 overall.
Skidmore jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead on Alex Mykolenko's fourth goal of the season at 1:29 of the first from Dalton Weinstein and Tony Giacin. Tufts tied it at 8:08 on a shot from the point by Andy Davis (Woburn, MA). The Thoroughbreds took the lead for good when Alex Essaris scored his first of the season from goalie Colin Bessey at 10:52, followed by a Tyler Doremus goal from Hunter Thayer and Joe Melnyk at 12:12.
The teams traded goals in the second. Senior Mike Vitale (Brookfield, IL) scored a power play goal at 16:11 for Tufts to cut the Skidmore lead to 3-2. Giacin countered with his fifth goal of the season at 17:59 from Jack Walsh and Nick Dupuis to make it 4-2.
The Thoroughbreds put it away in the third with the second goal of the game by Doremus from Dupuis at 2:42 and the first goal of the season by Chris Powers at 13:59 from Dupuis and Essaris at 13:59.
Colin Bessey had 23 saves in net for Skidmore, while freshman Brian Phillips (Colleyville, TX) had 19 saves for Tufts.
The Jumbos continue NESCAC action next Friday night at Wesleyan with a 7 pm faceoff. Skidmore is at the University of New England on Friday.

Food Processing and Manufacturing
Photo with thanks to Nelson Mail
The Service and Food Workers Union represents people who work in food processing and manufacturing industries across New Zealand.
The food processing sector makes up around 20% of the SFWU membership and members are predominantly employed for companies that have big work sites - many with more than one site through out the country.
If you are not an SFWU member and would like to find out about joining please phone
SFWU MEMBER SUPPORT on 0800 UNION1 (0800 864661).
Industry news
"Fishy Goings On" in the New Zealand Fishing Industry
SFWU Strategic Industry Leader for Food Processing and Manufacturing, Chas Muir wrote an excellent article for the December 2010 issue of Watchdog.
"The New Zealand fishing industry promised to create employment for New Zealand workers, in particular there was to be a process of positive discrimination re Maori workers in relation of the purchase of Sealord as part of the Treaty settlement. It was quoted that this purchase would create 800 jobs and provide career pathing and management training for young Maori but in reality this simply did not happen. In the last three years Sealord has terminated about 700 workers employed on land and sea and these workers have been replaced by foreign labour!....." read the full article online here.
Read the latest Food Sector newsletter for SFWU members by clicking on the graphic below.
Cadbury - With the takeover of the 186-year-old British chocolate maker by Kraft in February 2010 - which cost them $US 19.5 billion ($NZ 27.4 billion) - staff are very much on 'tender hooks' and feel it is very much a waiting game regarding their futures. The Union is keeping a close eye on developments, and working with members on the site.
Barnes Oysters - Openers received a 13% increase with hourly rate workers receiving an increase of approximately 12%. Barnes Oysters are the single biggest oyster opening wholesaling plant in southland and its workers have always been union members.
McCain Foods - McCain Foods members in Hastings are expecting the job to get busy as McCain's invest heavily in the region. Unfortunately it comes at a time of lost union jobs in Tasmania, with McCain Foods announcing that it will close its vegetable processing plant in Smithton Tasmania at the end of the year with the loss of nearly 200 full-time and casual jobs.
Griffin's - Members of the SFWU, EPMU and NDU voted to ratify a settlement that we hope will ensure the future of the Griffin's Papakura plant. Of the 242 members who voted, 184 - 77% voted yes. The key changes are first, the introduction of a new skills-based pay structure, linked to portable qualifications through NZQA. The rates begin at $14.75 for new workers and increase to $25. Secondly, new roster patterns will be used to cope with extra production volume. The standard roster shift, based on the 8-hour day, Monday to Friday, will continue for current production with no changes to the current overtime provisions. The pay increase is 3% from 1 November 2009, 3% from 1 November 2010 and 2% from 1 November 2011, with the expiry 6 months later to June 2012.
Sealord - The Union has filed for facilitated bargaining. The employment authority has ruled that facilitated bargaining is appropriate and has set down 19 April as the kick off date for this process.The authority has also set down 17 and 19 May. Facilitated bargaining is where an independent authority member meets with the parties and after presentation of the facts and arguments from both sides put up a recommendation for settlement. The recommendation is not binding on either party but is a finding that should be seriously considered. The hearings will be held at Sealord and members of the union affected will be kept fully informed as the process in undertaken.

The default endpoint and default binding provided by WCF 4.0 are obviously great features that can save developing and testing time, but sometimes this conventional configuration don't help in case you have some trouble with certain setting that doesn't work. The setting I mean in this case concern the Windows Authentication over HTTP. To enable this setting you have only to configure the basic http bindings with a specified security mode, like that: and then, obviously, configure the IIS authentication for the site/virtual directory that host your service to enable Windows Authentication and disable Anonymous...

A Troy marketing professor has been names the 2014 Outstanding Educator of the year by The Association of Collegiate Marketing Educators.
Dr. Gordon G. Mosely, Associate Professor of Marketing in Troy University's Sorrell College of Business, for his oustanding record and contributions to marekting education. He will also be recognized, along with Educators of the Year fro nineother FBD organizations during a Federation's banquet in March.
"Dr. Mosley is respected by all who come into contact with him – students,
faculty colleagues and staff," said Dr. Earl Ingram, Senior Vice Chancellor for
Academic Affairs. "Along with his service to students and the University here
in Troy, he has made a significant contribution by teaching in our
international locations over the past decade. We are all very proud that ACME
recognizes his achievements and has chosen to honor him in this manner."
Dr. Judson Edwards, Dean of the Sorrell College of Business, said Dr. Mosley
is deserving of this recognition. "Dr. Mosley develops strong marketing students through a combination of
rigorous classroom instruction and willingness to mentor and guide them," Dr.
Edwards said.
Dr. Mosley teaches classes in business, management and marketing at TROY. He
holds a Doctorate of Business Administration from Louisiana Tech University and
a Master of Business Administration and a bachelor's in political science both
from Michigan State University.
"I felt both honored and delighted when I learned that I had been selected
as Outstanding Educator of the Year by the Association of Collegiate Marketing
Educators (ACME)," Dr. Mosley said. "This is more than a reflection on
me—it also reflects well on the support I have gotten over the years from both
Troy University and my colleagues. It's like getting the game ball after a
win—one person gets it, but many more deserve it as well, as they have also
contributed to the success it honors."

Listed in Steve Davey's World top 40 Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die, Aitutaki lies 230 kilometres north of Rarotonga, a 45 minute inter-island flight.
Aitutakians are acknowledged as the supreme entertainers of the Cook Islands, with a particular skill in the making and playing of the pate - the slit drums which accompany traditional dancing. A scintillating drum dance with swirling traditional costumes and swaying hips is a cultural event not to be missed.
But what Aitutaki is perhaps most famous for is its large brilliant turquoise lagoon. The lagoon is many things to Aitutakians: source of legends, a vast source of inner reef seafood, and a place where tourists are taken to picnic on its motu (small islets) and snorkel among its shoals.
Loveliest of the motu and just awarded the coveted Australasia's Leading Beach award at the 2008 World Travel Awards, is Tapuaetai, or One-Foot Island, which is surrounded by glassy water and pure white sand.
Aitutaki's lagoon is 20 kilometres across at its widest point.
From 1951 until 1960 the lagoon was one link in a chain of island-hopping flights taken by TEAL Shorts Solent flying boats plying the famous 'Coral Route'.
Travel on the Coral Route was expensive during a period when most international passengers still went by sea, and many of the world's rich and famous stepped off onto the sands of Akaiami while the giant aircraft re-fuelled en-route between Samoa and Tahiti.
Today Air Rarotonga flies modern jet-prop Saab 340 aircraft from Rarotonga four to six times per day, landing and taking off from the same runway built by the Americans and Aitutakians during the Pacific war and recently tar-sealed.
Visitors to Aitutaki still visit Akaiami where there is a glimpse of the concrete jetty, now derelict, extending into the still water of the lagoon. All that now remains of a romantic era in Pacific aviation.
Many take our ever so popular Aitutaki Day Tour which does by the way stop over at One Foot Island and also includes a tour around the main island.
For those who choose a longer stay, the island boasts several fine resorts and a range of other accommodation from self-catering bungalows to budget guest houses.
In November 2010, the Pacific Resort Aitutaki has been voted "World's Leading Boutique Island Resort" for the third consecutive year
Aitutaki is the ideal place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the modern world but there are also some gentle activities one can pursue, scuba diving, snorkelling, lagoon cruises, walkabouts or a visit to the church to name a few.
It is also possible to combine Aitutaki with a visit to Atiu without having to backtrack to Rarotonga. See our Atiu/Aitutaki Combo page for details.
Make your visit to the Cook Islands truly unforgettable by including Aitutaki in your travels.

The Teacher's Supply Depot collects donated materials from companies throughout the Jacksonville area and gives those supplies and materials free to district schools. Since 1996, 950 contributors have given materials and more than 20,500 visits to schools have been logged.
The Dolphins helped the local teachers from the area gather, organize and load supplies in the warehouse.
"It was fun for us to help out," JU head coach Cliff Warren said. "We put a lot of emphasis on education in our basketball program so it was natural for our team to volunteer with those who value the teachers. This is a tremendous organization and we will were honored to be a part of it."

WYLIE — Single mom Tina Klein is couponing for charity.
"These were all free, and there were three packs, so this is going to help 300 families," said Klein, in her kitchen filled with items to be donated.
But it didn't start out that way; she clipped coupons out of necessity.
"I have received help when my children were younger; it means a lot," she said. "People who need help — most of them will give back to the community. It was my turn to return the favor for what people have done for me."
So now she spends 30 to 40 hours a month collecting coupons for local food pantries. Her home is filled with food — from shampoo to Hamburger Helper — and savings are organized by each receipt.
Klein is teaming up with other local coupon ladies to make an even bigger impact.
"I have personally donated $10,000, and as a group, the back-to-school challenge raised $35,000, and we've got about another $15,000 so far," she said.
Three challenges deep, Klein has helped collect $58,000 worth of items — and she's not stopping there. Her team of roughly 20 local moms are trying to hit a $100,000 goal by April.
"If we had a 'super coupon' woman in each city and state, then none of our charities would need anything," she said.
From Facebook to online forums, Klein is reaching out for help. Now, moms in other states are getting involved, too.
"I can see this where we won't just raise $100,000... we'll raise $1 million if we can get all the states participating," she said.

A Retrospective: Shelton's Five-Year Tenure
Since 2006, UA President Robert N. Shelton has led the institution not only through great financial strife, but also during a time marked by continued enrollment growth, degree expansion and great scientific feats.
Since University of Arizona President Robert N. Shelton arrived in 2006, he has led the institution through a period of continued enrollment growth, degree expansion, great scientific feats and significant fundraising accomplishment – all during a time of tremendous fiscal challenges and unprecedented state budget reductions.
Shelton will depart the UA at the end of next month, having served five years as the institution's 19th president. He will become executive director of the Fiesta Bowl, beginning Aug. 1.
With experience as executive vice chancellor and provost at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Shelton arrived at the UA with a strong commitment to research excellence, campus diversity, transparency, fiscal discipline and community engagement.
Since his arrival, Shelton has seen the UA through the most difficult economic downturn in nation's history, leading the institution through a major reorganization while simultaneously maintaining continued enrollment growth and expanded access at the main campus and in other parts of the state.
During his tenure, the UA College of Medicine–Phoenix welcomed its first class of students in 2007, helping to remedy a regional shortage of physicians. The UA medical school graduated its first class in Phoenix this year.
As the UA's president, Shelton has aided the University through a major reorganization and also continued enrollment growth and expanded access.
In 2010, the donor-supported Diamond Children's Medical Center, a new pediatric medical facility, opened at University Medical Center. Also that year, the faculty-initiated Confluence: A Center for Creative Inquiry was launched to support research in the arts, humanities and social sciences with strong backing from both Shelton and UA Provost Meredith Hay.
And space exploration – a signature activity at the UA – achieved international prominence and acclaim during Shelton's time in office. The UA led the Phoenix Mars Lander mission, with the spacecraft landing on the Red Planet in May 2008. This year, the UA was chosen by NASA to head up the approximately $800 million OSIRIS-REx mission to gather samples from the 1999 RQ36 asteroid.
Other highlights during Shelton's five years at the UA include:

Dodgeball fight is on in Windham
Upset about the discontinuation of dodgeball and other such games in their gym classes, Matthew and Michael Senibaldi, twin sons of School Board member Dennis Senibaldi, have taken matters into their own hands.
The 12-year-old boys, whose father was the sole board member to object to the ban of all "human contact" games earlier this month, posted an online petition this week in hopes of convincing the board to let the games go on.
"Nerf ball games are fun interactive games that teaches kids the skills of teamwork, strategy and agility," the online petition reads. "Lots of kids have loved Nerf ball games for a long time and we feel it is unfair to eliminate these games based on a few complaints ... we the undersigned kids respectfully are asking the School Board to reconsider their vote."
On Wednesday, Matthew and Michael passed a survey around to their peers during their lunch period at Windham Middle School, gaining several dozen signatures before they said school staff intercepted their petition. The online petition may be viewed online at http://chn.ge/XhFKM4.
As of Friday at 6:30 p.m, the online petition had garnered 201 signatures.
The elder Senibaldi said he supported his sons' decision to petition online.
The four other School Board members didn't immediately respond to an inquiry from the Union Leader on Friday afternoon. Michael Senibaldi said he and his brother Matthew have been enjoying games of dodgeball since the second grade and they both were saddened to hear it had been banned.
"It's just a lot of fun and it's not really about human targeting at all, That's not the point of the game," Michael said. "It's just something we have fun doing with our friends."
After a stilted attempt to collect signatures at school, the boys decided that posting an online petition was probably the best option.
"This way anyone can sign and no one can take that away from us," Michael said.
Both boys said their goal is to get as many signatures as they can, which they'll forward to members of the School Board. On March 21, the school board voted 4:1 in favor of eliminating all "human target" games from the district's curriculum, with proponents of the ban stressing that such games pose safety concerns and can encourage instances of bullying. Senibaldi voiced his objections to the ban, stating that "there are other ways to address bullying."
But Windham teacher Rory O'Connor, spokesman for the district committee tasked with reviewing district physical education policies noted that standards dictated by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education suggested a ban was an appropriate move after some parents reported instances of their children being targeted at dodgeball games.

Who would name their first-born female child Bobby with a "y"? How about one of Alabama's most prominent coaches who wanted a namesake from what he thought would be an only child. Yes, I'm the first born of Bob and Marie Shuttleworth. My dad was the first, (and longest) basketball coach at Calhoun Community College. He is in the Morgan County and Alabama Junior College Hall of Fame. My late mother was a bookkeeper at several businesses in Decatur, including Hunter Furniture and Brown's Service Funeral Home. She was best known for yelling at referees.
I also have a younger brother Matt. (He has a beautiful name: Matthew Allen Shuttleworth.) He is retired on disability from the Decatur Fire Department. He was permanently injured fighting a fire several years ago. I'm very proud of him and his family.
Family is what brings me back to my hometown. I am also raising my 14-, (going on 20), year-old daughter, Windsor. She says she wants to go to Alabama, (like Mom). There she wants to be a cheerleader, homecoming queen and pledge ZTA. Yes, I'm raising her right!
I've worked in broadcast journalism since 1973 at various stations - large and small. Most of that time has been in Montgomery at WAFF's sister station, WSFA. I was very blessed there, earning national, state and local awards for my work.
Over the years I've been given honors by the Associated Press, United Press International, American Cancer Society, Alabama Chapter of the American Medical Association and other organizations as an Anchor, Medical Reporter, and Reporter. I've had wonderful and patient teachers along the journey... a journey I thought would end in Montgomery.
And then I got a call with an opportunity to work at WAFF.
So after covering state lawmakers, governors, civil rights pioneers, doing medical stories and anchoring for 17 years, I have come home to cover the town where I grew up!
My interests include my faith, family, community, kids, and animals.

Had a wonderful evening out with
my friends for my bday. Everyone ordered something different (drinks, appetizers, entrees, salad and desserts) and all the food was great with nice size portions too. Our server was excellent as well and we could not have had a better experience. Thank you!"
Dined on 8/21/2014
Wonderful ambience, outstanding
food and service. Could never make anything this tasty at home. Will definitely return to experience other specialties."
Dined on 8/20/2014
The Atmosphere was excellent and
was a great place to have conversation and good food. My Swordfish was a little overdone and my friends steak was asked for Medium Well was really Well Done. Still the food was flavorful. Overall is was a good experience."
Dined on 8/19/2014
It was horrible,was our 30th
anniversary. 2 bottles of on wine list.Out of both Finally after 40 minutes I was served a martini. And my food filet and lobster within 5 minutes of my martini arriving. My steak was black, ordered medium well and lobster was so dry and no flavor. The manager came around and knew we couldn't get any of the wines I chose so he offered to pay for my martini. I was shocked at how little concern there was with everything. My friends have had parties there with 25-30 people and we've always been happy with the food. I was a little disappointed when my meal was $51.00 and I had to pay extra for a vegetable. My husband had bone-in rib-eye and I believe, bleu cheese crusted and was happy with his."
Dined on 8/18/2014
Very long wait for everyrhing, i
had to ask again for our drinks after appetizer & then was served wrong drink & was finished w dinner & still no drink, wrong side w dinner, bit in big shell in crab cake- this was a monday"
Dined on 8/18/2014
Made a reservation for mom's bday
dinner. Sat us in a booth in the crowded bar. About a $150 for two steaks a salad, an appetizer and 3 drinks. Service was nothing special, average."
Dined on 8/17/2014
The food was very good, the
experience was not. Too loud, too cramped and service was obnoxious. Our bus boy filled our water glasses at least 15 times and was always there. Might return with the right group because the food was good and vibe was lively, but never for a quiet, relaxing dinner."
Dined on 8/17/2014
The chicken wasn't what I expected
and they were great about getting me something quickly and without a fuss. Every kitchen occasionally has a mishap but they were very apologetic and made it right. Better than expected."
Dined on 8/17/2014
My husband and I had dinner before
going to Drury Lane. Food was excellent, our waitress, Linda Smith, was superior. The gluten free menu for my husband was actually a real menu, not a piece of paper with a few choices on it. The gluten free chocolate cake with ice cream was a surprise dessert to celebrate our 50 th anniversary and was so appreciated. And it was delicious! Thanks for helping us celebrate. Making the reservations on line was a real plus. Thanks again."
Dined on 8/16/2014
I go to Wildfire often and am
always amazed at the great food and moderate prices. Service was EXCELLENT. We were shopping and went to the restaurant early (4:30PM), when we couldn't get a later reservation at the last minute. The restaurant was busy and active. Service was outstanding and everything we ordered delicious. Remains one of my favorites."
Dined on 8/16/2014
The food was very good but the
tables were cramped and I felt rushed. The wait staff hovered and swooped on our table to remove dishes even before we were finished. This did not make me feel welcomed - I would not go back. If you are going to spend over a hundred dollars for dinner the experience should not feel like a drive through fast food joint."
Dined on 8/16/2014
Spot on perfect, pure perfection.
Friendly Staff right in with reservation. Not one single complaint. Highly recommended."
Dined on 8/15/2014
My wife and I eat here at least
once a month. The food is always greatand the service is always good."
Dined on 8/15/2014
Service was patchy on my Friday
night visit, having to ask for the wine menu twice, remind them about my drinks order and nurse an empty glass for way too long. Steak was poor - tough and tasteless - and my wife's went back twice, one way over, once way under. It was taken off the check without asking, which was a nice touch, but it still spoilt date night for my wife and I. I've been to the one downtown several times, and will stick to that in future even though it's not as convenient for us the suburbs."
Dined on 8/15/2014
Wildfire is one of my favorite
restaurants / bars. I've been to many Wildfire locations a great number of times. But on this particular evening at the Oak Brook location, my guest and I were put in a small room in the back of the restaurant that was quiet and dull and not lively at all. All other sections of this place usually have a great atmosphere. But this offshoot section was less to be desired. If you can be placed in the main dining area or near the bar it is lively and vibrant. But if you get stuck in this side room, it can be quite dull."
Dined on 8/15/2014
Celebrated my wife's birthday at
one of our favorite places. It was good, but my prime rib was less flavorful than on past visits. Trio of medallions were tender and all but horseradish crust were excellent; horseradish crust a bit overwhelmed the beef. Potatoes au gratin always a good carb choice. We spilt a small chopped salad, which provides plenty for two. Red wine flight was a nice choice. We will return, hoping for a return to restaurant's usual high standards."
Dined on 8/15/2014
Fabulous service from Anthony.
Fabulous hostess that took me at the exact time of my reservation even thought there was a wait for people without one. Fabulous food, as always. Thank you."
Dined on 8/14/2014
Good food but noisy. I enjoyed the
energy but portions are too big."
Dined on 8/14/2014
My party enjoyed themselves as
every group I bring to Wildfire. Everything is way above average. One of the folks in my party said it was the best meal she had in a long long time."
Dined on 8/14/2014
Travel to this area for work and
try to eat here once during each visit. Love the food,the atmosphere & the wait staff is always friendly and attentive. Only downside is that it's very loud inside. Hard to hear the person sitting right next to you."
Dined on 8/12/2014
Our food was great, the waiter was
patient and energetic, and the time overall was great. But the kicker for us was that I had made a 6-person reservation, but didn't think to add the two 2-month old babies we had in tow. When we got there, they told us we ought to have included those two little kiddos because they actually put out a carrier-type device whereby the child got to "sit" at the table in his/her car seat. To do this, we suddenly became a table of 8, and they were totally cool with it and re-located us to a larger table asap. On top of all that, having our child elevated off the floor gave us peace of mind that no waiters would step on them running around, and we could see them sleeping while we were eating."
Dined on 8/11/2014
This is one of our top favorite
restaurants. Food and service is outstanding."
Dined on 8/11/2014
We've celebrated special occasions
at Wildfire Oakbrook for many years. And even though we no longer live in the area, we make the 300 mile round trip to Wildfire. The fish special is always excellent."
Dined on 8/11/2014
The waiter gave us the wrong
name Didn't ask if we wanted appetizers We were celebrating a birthday and when I asked about complimentary birthday dessert he said they don't offer anything free for any celebrations. But I was just there and they did offer free mini chocolate dessert with ice cream. After asking 3 more times and he finally says yes we do offer a mini chocolate cake & ice cream? It's 6 of us at the table but he only brings 4 spoons, WTH? After 30 mins he finally comes with the bill which had was wrong. We asked for the manager, told him our waiter name and the manager says, Who is Pedro? No one works here by that name. Who the heck gives the wrong name for service? I am done with Wildfire in Oakbrook, IL."
Dined on 8/10/2014
This is a great restaurant
especially if you have special dietery restrictions. They are very knowledgeable, understanding and accomodating. We have always had good meals when we go to this location of the restaurant. I recommend that everyone should have a great meal and experience here."
Dined on 8/10/2014
I ordered a filet and it was dry.
However, my date ordered a porterhouse that was juicy and tender. We both ordered them medium well. I know different meat cuts cook differently but my steak was almost burned. The mac and cheese was dry as well...not cheesy at all and my broccoli was literally sitting in a pool of water. On a higher note, the restaurant was lively. It was a busy night but I only had ot wait about three minutes outisde my reservation to be seated. Our waitress was amazing and knowledgable. I wish I could remember her name. Despite my food not being the best at the time, I do not believe this is a regular occurence. I would go back and maybe be VERY specific when ordering or send something back to be fixed."
Dined on 8/9/2014
I was looking forward to dinner
since we've been there before with a group of people and enjoyed it so I made reservations on Open table for 8:00 on a Saturday night. We arrived at 10 minutes to 8 and were told that we'd be seated a little bit after 8 and we were given a pager. I was ok with this as the place was packed. Unfortunately, the bar is small and there were no seats so we hung around the hostess area. While waiting, 2 other people walked in and said they had 8 o'clock reservations for 2 and they were seated immediately. That ticked me off, I asked one of the other hostess' why I wasn't seated but they were and got a few excuses and they said I'd be seated next. Got seated in a bad table at the bar, very cramped and loud."
Dined on 8/9/2014
Anthony was excellent. He was one
of the best waiters we've ever had if not the best!!! Very helpful, attentive. Didn't forget us, helped us choose the main entree."
Dined on 8/9/2014
It was my choice to take my wife
for our 50th wedding anniversary dinner. My only regret was I never notified the staff of this celebration. A small anniversary cake would have been the clincher. A few years ago we also had a family of seven dinner for my mother's passing in a private room which worked out well."
Dined on 8/9/2014
I made reservations for my husband
and I to celebrate our 13th year anniversary invited close friends we had a wonderful time"
Dined on 8/9/2014
Great food. Best prime rib I had
in a long time. Service was suggestive and friendly. Plan on trying pork chops soon."
Dined on 8/8/2014
Always a pleasure to choose for a
meal, Wildfire never disappoints its diners. The shrimp cocktail is amazing and the cedar planked salmon is always a good choice when you can't decide. The scallop skewers appetizer is excellent and the chopped salad wonderful as a main course or to share. They have a fantastic array of specials as well as the regular menu. On Friday night the wait was over two hours if you didn't have a reservation, so it's always a good idea to make one. Definitely one of the best restaurants in the western suburbs and city."
Dined on 8/8/2014
Very good food and attentive
service. They make a very nice lunch presentation that is tasty and properly served. I felt rushed by the bus boy who kept wanting to take my food away before I was ready to give it up."
Dined on 8/8/2014
Shrimp/crab bisque was very
good. But the cornbread wasn't as good or as plentiful and unlike other waiters, ours didn't ask if we needed more. Friends salmon was good. I had the steak/bleu cheese salad and it was just okay. The steak wasn't plentiful and the dressing overwhelmed the salad. But the biggest problem was the length of time it took to get our entree. When it came time for dessert, my friend ordered blueberry pie w/o ice cream and waiter said he would get the manager to comp that for the lengthy wait time. Thats a sign of a good waiter, unfortunately, I must have become invisible because he never asked if I wanted anything. TOOK FOREVER TO GET THE CHECK. WE WONT BE RETURNING FOR AWHILE."
Dined on 8/6/2014
I have never been to Wildfire as I
was traveling on business and this place was highly recommended. The food and staff were fantastic and I will definitley be stopping by again on my next trip."

Enjoyed another wonderful meal at
Wildfire - Oak Brook. Just perfect. Had the petite filet and potato crusted scallops combo - sooo good!!"
Dined on 8/3/2014
The salads and sandwiches provided
ample portions with some left over to take home. Some enjoy the complimentary cornbread, others would rather have bread. Service was attentive and pleasant. The air conditioning didn't appear to be working to the max, so we were all a bit uncomfortable. When I mentioned it, I was told yes it did seem to be a bit warm in there. No room for dessert."
Dined on 8/3/2014
Escorted to side dining room next
to kitchen area, too noisy asked to be moved. It seems that is where they put children. It was noisy since one little one was quite boistrous with his food and not wanting to have a napkin placed. Food service was okay. Three of us ordered Cappuccino which we had to wait awhile for and when it arrived everyone's was lukewarm, second one was okay. Ordered apple pie for dessert to be split among four of us, no knife or serving spoon accompanied to cut and serve pie or ice cream. Finally found waiter to ask for same, waited at least five minutes. One person finally got up and retrieved cutlery filled napkin to cut dessert. Will think twice about dining there again. There are a lot better places in Oakbrook."
Dined on 8/3/2014
After many attempts to get a
reservation at this location, we booked an 8:15 PM seating on a Saturday night. I ordered steak, which was delivered at a lukewarm temperature and was rather tough. The quality of the food did not rise to the level I had expected. This restaurant will probably not be a regular spot for me, but it might be an option for a burger or other more mainstream menu option."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Settlement talks are about to begin in a long-running class-action lawsuit in which six former bar workers at 4th Street Live allege their employers -- Angel's Rock Bar, Tengo Sed Cantina and Hotel – stiffed them out of fair compensation.
The three bars – only one of which is still in business – are owned, at least in part, by principals of the Cordish Co., the Baltimore development firm that owns 4th Street Live, according to court records.
It's not the first time that the developers behind Louisville's taxpayer-subsidized downtown entertainment district have dealt with allegations of wage-and-hour violations at a 4th Street Live venue.
In 2010, a U.S. Department of Labor investigation found the Sports & Social Club, another bar and restaurant controlled by Cordish officials at 4th Street Live, failed to pay a total of $62,179 in wages and overtime to 61 employees. The bar agreed to pay back-wages.
A subsequent lawsuit by two former Sports and Social Club employees was partially settled after a major portion of the case was thrown out, according to Jefferson Circuit Court records.
The pending case, which is playing out in U.S. District Court in Louisville, could affect "hundreds" of people who worked at Angel's Rock Bar, Tengo Sed Cantina and Hotel between Jan. 30, 2007 and Jan. 1, 2010, according to a judge's ruling.
The case was filed in 2010. Only Tengo Sed Cantina is still operating; Hotel closed in 2012 and Angel's Rock Bar in early 2013.
The parties will attend a settlement conference before a federal magistrate judge on Jan. 8, but it's a routine step and no indication of a deal, according to the lawyer representing the ex-employees and a spokeswoman for the Cordish Co.
The six former bar employees worked in a variety of roles at Tengo, Angel's and Hotel, according to their complaint, including bartender, bar manager, head of security and "beer tub girl."
They claim they were forced to perform unpaid work promoting the venues, setting up and cleaning up, and attending mandatory meetings, and that they were forced to pool and share their tips in violation of Kentucky law. (Read the complaint).
In court records, the three bars deny the former employees' allegations. They say employees promoted the venues on the clock and that any tip pooling was voluntary. They also challenge the ex-employees' credibility.
The ex-employees have cleared one important hurdle: In 2012, U.S. District Judge Joseph H. McKinley ruled that they do indeed represent a class of workers broadly affected by the bar's policies. Lawyers for the ex-employees say the class could be more than 400 people.
But there has been no ruling on the merits of the ex-employees' allegations. A judge could throw out the case, or it could head to trial, said Michele Henry, attorney for the ex-employees.
"It's all still up in the air," said Henry, of the Louisville firm Priddy, Cutler, Naake & Meade.
Cordish's involvement
The Cordish Co. developed 4th Street Live – a collection of bars, restaurants and stores along S. 4th Street between Muhammad Ali Boulevard and Liberty Street – in the mid-2000s through an arrangement that involves heavy taxpayer subsidies from Louisville Metro and the commonwealth of Kentucky.
It's Cordish's responsibility to keep the entertainment district vibrant. Some spaces in the development are leased to independent operators (such as Hard Rock Café), while other bars and restaurants (such as Sports and Social Club) appear to be operated by companies involving the Cordish Co.'s executives.
The Cordish Co. itself is not named in the lawsuit against Angel's Rock Bar, Tengo Sed Cantina and Hotel. The company "has no ownership interest" in the three venues, Cordish Co. spokeswoman Candice Coolahan said.
Yet the venues were controlled by Reed Cordish, a Cordish Co. vice president and son of Cordish Co. Chairman David Cordish, through a separate company called Entertainment Concepts Investors, according to a Judge McKinley's 2012 opinion. Lawyers for the bars had argued ECI was merely a consultant to Tengo, Angel's and Hotel, but the judge said ECI was in fact in control of the venues.
ECI also controls Sports and Social Club, the Department of Labor found in its 2010 investigation.
Reed Cordish is president of ECI, and records filed in the case show he partly owns ECI along with his brothers Jonathan and Blake (also Cordish Co. vice presidents); Jonathan's wife Melissa; and a trust in the name of Joseph S. Weinberg, a Cordish Co. partner.
Coolahan, the Cordish Co. spokeswoman, said the "ownership and control" of ECI is different than that of the Cordish Co.
But the distinction was lost on the Department of Labor, which called ECI "a division of the Cordish Company" and said the "actual employer" at Sports and Social Club is the Cordish Co. itself.
(Louisville taxpayers helped Sports and Social Club get off the ground in 2009 with a $950,000 forgivable loan from metro government, which was used to renovate the former Lucky Strike bowling alley as a sports bar. It was part of a $1.8 million deal former Mayor Jerry Abramson struck with Cordish officials in 2007. Now the remainder of the money, $850,000, is helping to renovate the space above Sports and Social for a new venue called Tavern on Fourth.)
Allegations of off-the-clock work
In the suit against Tengo Sed Cantina, Angel's Rock Bar and Hotel, the former employees of allege they were required, on their own time, to:
McKinley cited an October 2009 manager meeting agenda for Tengo Sed Cantina, which said: "Staff promoting must improve or I must find a new staff…Happy Hour bookings have to improve. The shot girls are the only ones actively getting after it at this point, and that is unacceptable."
The judge also cited a November 2009 meeting agenda for Angel's Rock Bar, which said: "The majority of the Rockbar staff gets out and promotes but we have some dead weight. It is time for them to step up or find another job."
The ex-employees also allege the bars forced them to clock-out before completing closing and cleaning work at the end of shifts, thus working without being paid.
The Department of Labor looked into similar issues in its investigation of Sports and Social Club: While off the clock, the bar's employees were required to cold-call potential customers, hand out fliers at other events and promote the venue on Facebook and Twitter, according to the investigation.
"Employees received 'points' as a result of these activities, and if an employee did not receive sufficient points in one week, they were not permitted to work as many hours and were assigned to low-tip producing shifts," the Department of Labor said.
The Department of Labor also found that Sports and Social Club "regularly engaged" in practices that "resulted in employees not getting paid at least the minimum wage for all hours worked," such as, "refusing to allow employees to clock in, clocking them out before they had finished work, and manually altering hours within the time system."
Coolahan, the Cordish Co. spokeswoman, said the company that owns Sports and Social Club, Downtown Sports LLC, agreed to pay "a modest sum" – the $62,179 in back wages – "solely to avoid the costs of litigation and without any admission of liability" to the Department of Labor.
The subsequent lawsuit against Sports and Social Club was settled without an admission of liability, she said.
Meanwhile, in the pending lawsuit, the three bars deny the ex-employees' allegations while submitting affidavits from other employees that contradict their claims.
The bars say any sharing of tips by servers and bartenders with other employees such as barbacks (a customary practice in the hospitality industry) was voluntary; that promotional activities such as calls to potential happy hour customers and posting on social media were done on the clock; and that the bars did not force employees to perform unpaid work such as cleaning up after shifts.
The bars also raise issues affecting some of the ex-employees' credibility, saying that:
Those issues might be "relevant to witness credibility" at a trial, Judge McKinley ruled last year. Still, he certified that the ex-employees represent a class and sub-class of people affected by the bars' policies and defined those groups as:
In recent months, the parties in the case have been arguing over which exact types of employees are included in the class and sub-class. They do not agree, according a Dec. 10 filing by the bars, whether servers and "shot girls" should be included in the group, nor whether bartenders are the only types of employees who required to pool their tips.

Bruce Pearl has been fired as head coach of Tennessee Volunteers men's basketball, according to a Monday afternoon report by WNML-FM's Jimmy Hyams, which was shortly afterward confirmed by CBS' Gary Parrish and Fox Sports' Jeff Goodman. Pearl was expected to meet with athletic director Mike Hamilton earlier in the day, at which point his future with the program would be settled upon.
According to Goodman, Pearl "received compensation as a part of the buyout agreement." How could a coach with no contract receive a buyout, you ask? One popular theory, which surfaced on VolQuest.com, purported that Pearl would receive $2 million in exchange for accepting the NCAA's charges against him.
Such an arrangement would allow the NCAA to deliver a speedy decision on any possible sanctions, permit the program to move on and hire a new coach with full awareness of the program's standing, and put some nice paper in Pearl's pocket in exchange for taking full responsibility.
More to come on Pearl's reported firing as more makes its way public.

VIDEO: Watch the moment Dappy slapped man in Chelmsford nightclub
Updated 3:18pm Friday 20th June 2014 in News By Matt Abbott, Chief reporter
THIS is the moment N Dubz star and Celebrity Big Brother runner-up Dappy slapped a man in a Chelmsford nightclub.
The rapper was found guilty of assault by Chelmsford Magistrates' yesterday.
He had been at city centre nightspot Chicagos on Thursday, February 27, as a special guest, doing a meet and greet.
Dappy, 27, whose real name is Dino Contostavlos, was fined £800 and forced to pay £930 in costs plus a victim surcharge of £80 after being found guilty of assaulting clubber George Chittock.
The singer denied the charge of assault by beating, claiming he struck Mr Chittock in self defence.
This CCTV footage of the alleged attack, lasting about 10 seconds, was played to the court.
Contostavlos and Mr Chittock were in a smoking area along with Contostavlos's minder and two of the club's own door staff at about 2am when he was seen to slap Mr Chittock.
Magistrates said they found Contostavlos was not under any physical threat at the time of the incident.
He held his head in his hands as the verdict was delivered.
Summing up the case, prosecutor Jacqueline Carey had told the court: "It is no defence for anybody, celebrity or otherwise, to say 'I lashed out because he was rude to me'."
