Bastide: Stay away, an unpleasant dining experience.
- f
- Food Scrounger Oct 21, 2007 12:48 AM
We just returned home from an awful dining experience at Bastide. This was our second visit to the restaurant.
We have been dining at the Bastide space for about 25-30 years, starting when the restaurant was Le Restaurant. We always loved the space and wished every restaurant that opened there nothing but the best.
Our first meal at Bastide was about a month ago. Four of us dined there and found the food good, with some dishes mediocre and others quite good. After the meal, each of the four concluded the meal was nothing special and concluded we would not likely return.
My wife and I decided to try it again. Hence, tonight's meal with two other couples. All I can say is that it was painful. We were asked if we'd like to have the chef "cook for us." We agreed and asked for a wine pairing as well. Big mistake!
We started at 7:30 and ended after midnight. The meal was horribly paced, with long gaps between courses, with no waiters in sight. A dinner with wine pairings should mean that the proper wine will be served with each course. On one occasion, the course was served and the wine for that course did not arrive until after the course was completed. As the meal progressed, the gaps between courses grew painfully long; the explanations as to what each course contained disappeared and so did the wine descriptions. What should have been a special, wonderful experience turned into an unpleasant experience. Each of us couldn't wait to get out of the place.
And, to make matters worse, the food is just so-so. Nothing great. Some courses were quite tasty and others were ordinary. When coupled with the awful pacing, I would rate the meal a "C" at best. And, the meal was extremely expensive to boot.
Bottom line: The restaurant does not have it together.
My prediction: The restaurant won't be in business in six months.
My recommendation: Go somewhere else. This place is a loser.
re: russkar
C'mon -- I am well stoked to get on the bandwagon to diss the haughty, pretentious posterior that my readings about Bastide have cultivated. But you have to give details: What did it cost? How many courses? What were the highlights and lowlights? It is clear that you don't feel taken care of and are pissed. But after sleeping on it, please give more details so the rest of us can get a better picture and decide.
re: nosh
I was there last night as well and had a very similar expereince. From the beginning the timing of the courses was very off. Although I would say that the amuse bouches were quite good, as well as the Thai Soup and Seafood salad. However, everything after that was not. There was a fish dish that lacked flavor and depth, a very fatty short rib dish and an average pasta dish. It was as if these dishes all had great potential, but were missing key ingredients that would take it to the next level....the level you would expect at a restaurant like this. Dinner with tip and tax (the tip of 18% is automatically added) was $252 - for 2 people - this was without wine or drinks. For that kind of money I expect a lot more.
re: allisonteal
We spent more than that *each* on our visit and all felt that it was a great experience. I personally thought it was totally worth it. Our courses were paced perfectly, though I understand that they don't get it right every time. I'm sorry you hit an off night.
re: hrhboo
No matter how much you spend, you should expect good service and more than medioccre food.
re: hrhboo
This was the comment that put you in an iffy light. I know it was unintentional, and had you thought a little more,perhaps you would have realized how it could look sorta off :
"We spent more than that *each* on our visit and all felt that it was a great experience."
re: Diana
That is a factual statement. We did all feel that it was a great experience even after spending so much on it. I understand from Alison's post that the service/pacing/food on the night she went was terrible and not worth the money she spent on it, but ours was beyond perfect and worth every penny. That is all I was trying to convey, along with my sympathy towards her for her unpleasant evening.
re: allisonteal
I want to also add that a large group of people next to us had an even worse experience than us. I did not hear all the details, but one woman's husband actually left and didn't come back! All I know if that there was a lot of apologizing from various people at the restaurant and they had their ENTIRE meal comped!!
re: allisonteal
wow. sounds horrendous.
everybody @Hatfield's seemed to be having a jolly good time on Saturday night.
Well, there are a number of things I could say about the posting, including its vague nature. I feel bad that you had a poor experience, I honestly do.
Here are my specific comments based on your posting.
"Bottom Line" That is quite a valid point and probably true. They may not have had it together that night which is indicative of many new restaurants. You didn't make any mention about the restaurant not having it together during your first visit, so much so that you decided to return.
"My Prediction" Well, you're way off on that one. Why? Well, because they have an incredibly well known chef. More importantly, because they are the best-funded restaurant in Los Angeles. Is that my opinion? No, it's pretty much fact. Joe Pytka is an incredibly wealthy businessman and commercial director who is famous for being tryannical but also famous for having great items, including chefs and staff, the physical space itself, etc. So, if the restaurant ISN'T in business in six months, it will only be because Joe Pytka wants to close the restaurant on HIS terms, just like he did with the previous incarnation of Bastide.
"My recommendation" Well, again that's your opinion and of course you're entitled to it, but I think time will tell and will more than likely say that your opinion is in the minority.
re: peanut112
Their chef is NOT incredibly well known, rather has a reputation to establish in this town. I wouldn't put him in the top 50 well known LA chefs. He may be great, but has little reputation yet.
re: Adsvino
On the contrary Walter Manske is one of the most well known chefs in the nation. He was the exec chef at Patina for many years and has received many write ups in culinary mags both industry and layman. A few years go Food & Wine listed him as one of the top 25 nationwide.
re: peanut112
Being "best-funded" and properly funded are entirely different things.
Lots of restaurants have opened with deep (and I mean deep) pockets only to fall by the way side in less than a year.
The Mozza twins are not necessarily the "best-funded" restaurants, but they would definitely be high on the list of the most properly funded restaurants in LA.
You don't need all the money in the world if you spend what money you do have wisely.
re: ipsedixit
My comments were simply in response to "the restaurant won't be in business in six months" to which I completely disagree based upon funding. Best-funded and properly funded are INDEED different things entirely and ipsedixit you are increditly spot-on in that regarded, based upon your Mozza comparison.
I didn't say anything about deep pockets being a key to success, but I did offer deep pockets as a counter-point to being gone in six months as the OP stated.
As for not being in the top 50 most well-known chefs in LA, that's up for some serious debate. If you said top 50 in the US or even top 50 in California, then I might be able to agree with you, but I doubt there's actually 50 chefs in LA that deserve a 'top 50' title.
re: peanut112
Not to quibble peanut112, but I didn't make the "top 50" remark.
As to Bastide's longevity, I agree with you that it has legs beyond 6 months. People behind it realize that they aren't in the restaurant business to turn a quick buck, or two.
re: ipsedixit
Ipse, absolutely....I forgot to include Adsvino as the entry into that paragraph. After reading all of your various posts over the years, I wouldn't expect you to make that remark.
Have a great day.
re: peanut112
hmmm, if you think deep pockets are the key to a restaurant's longevity, maybe you ought to talk to alain giraud.
Wow. bold statement Food Scrounger. Most foodies seem to feel the food is exemplary at times and very good at others. EVERY report (that Ive seen) until yours has been overwhelmingly positive. Of course, if your opinion becomes the NORM then I would agree that the restaurant will go under, but until then, one off night wont kill bastide.
Also, this is the first review I have ever seen about bastide that didnt mention the ingredients of the food! You merely said "the food is so-so". Was it too fussy? Was it too subtle? Was it underwhelming and not creative enough?
I will say that many people have complained about the wine pairings and wine policy. That might be a policy that could bring Bastide down, and that part I can believe.
Also, every report I have seen suggests that a meal takes 4+ hours. that means your meal took just as long as everyone else's, yet no one else has complained about the length of time. French Laundry offers a few more courses but also taks 4-4.5 hours to complete. Many great places in France take 4 hours. Of course Bastide is not French Laundry and I dont know the finer details about the pacing issues, but 4.5 hours doesnt seem excessive at all to me.
Laslty, why didnt you politely tell management about your experience? I am certain that if you called Bastide and told them that people were bringing the wine and food at separate times and that the staff failed to explain each dish, that management would act swiftly to correct these issues. In my experience with these types of places, management usually invites you back for free. You cant always expect 100% great service, but for the price you pay, you should EXPECT management to address all of your issues.
re: jlrobe
I strongly second the suggestion to contact them (sometimes a letter or email is better than a call, since you have more time and space to lay out all your thoughts in a straightforward and understandable manner). It's always paid off for me.
re: jlrobe
As you will see from my post above, Food Scrounger was not the only one who had a bad experience. And the food wasn't too fussy - it lacked depth and flavor. Sometimes we added a bit of salt and it made it better, but mostly it just felt like something was missing. Case in point, they served the pumpkin tortellini that I had heard raves about from other diners, however ours did not have the 30 year old balsamic drizzeld over it...there was nothing. Therefore, the dish was sort of bland and boring. I felt like I could made this dish on my own without a second thought. And while I don't mind a long dinner...when it takes 4.5 hours and it is not evenly paced, it becomes annoying and thus diminishes the dining experience.
re: allisonteal
Thanks for all your comments. Since we opted to have the chef "cook for us," we received about 9 courses, with wine pairings. We expected a wonderful evening. We didn't receive that. Far from it.
As I said, one course was served without wine---the wine for that course arriving after the course was completed. As for another course, wine glasses were set up, but the wine never came. Empty wine glasses from prior servings were left on the table through several courses.
As for the quality of the food, the opinions in our group varied. Some thought some of the dishes were excellent; others thought some dishes were o.k.; some disliked some of the dishes. I'm not going to describe each dish, except I will say that, of the nine courses, the first five were fish/seafood. All of us thought that was boring and unimaginitive.
We've eaten at French Laundry. There is a vast difference between the leisurely pace of a meal there and the meal we had at Bastide. The difference is that, between courses at the French Laundry, you can enjoy a glass of wine in the garden, returning to your table when you're ready for the next course. We were not in the patio at Bastide and we had no choice about the pace. There were lengthy, unexplained gaps between courses; this was coupled with missed wine pairings and, on some courses, non-existent explanations as to the contents of the course and the wines. All of us agreed, the pace was simply too slow---by any standard. Long period went by with no waiter, no nothing; the most attentive person was the man who filled our sparkling water glasses. After the first serving of bread, we never say the bread person again until we asked. There were long delays between our sole meat course (a delicious slow-cooked beef) and dessert; and coffee was offered long after dessert, when all of us were worn out. We even had to wait a considerable period of time to find a waiter to bring us a check.
What a restaurant of this caliber should be selling is wonderful food plus wonderful service. This should equal a wonderful experience. The experience is a giant part of the meal. This one was painful. A restaurant of this caliber should never have customers begging to get out. We couldn't wait to get out.
We did complain that evening. The manager agreed the pacing was poor, apologized profusely and stated she was discounting the bill by half. She didn't. The total cost: $1,600 after the supposed 50% discount. This would mean that a meal for six would, but for the discount, have cost $3,200. Even though the service was awful, an 18% gratuity was included; we had no option to reward or not reward for the poor service we received. Given our complaint, it seems to me that if the restaurant felt the service should be compensated, it (not us) should have paid the gratuity.
As for the food, I'll give a few personal comments regarding my two visits to the restaurant. On my fist visit, I enjoyed the three-step "taco" opener; we got it again the second time. I find that once is enough. One of our first courses was octopus cerviche; I found it overly spiced. On our fist visit, our main course was duck; we found it tasteless. On this visit, the only meat dish was slow-cooked beef; I love it, but the meal had by then descened so far downhill that it was hard to enjoy. I loved the chocolate dessert. All the rest was good to acceptable, but not, in my view, outstanding.
I hope my 6-month prediction is wrong, as I'd love nothing more than to see this restaurant make it, providing it gets its act together. One thing is clear: I have no plans to go back.
That's all for now.
re: Food Scrounger
Did you remind the manager of your agreement to discount the bill?
As far as I know, Bastide offers a 4-course tasting and a 7-course tasting. Are you saying that there is an additional tasting menu option? By your description of the dishes you had, it looks like you had the same 7 course tasting that we enjoyed (7 + 3 amuses and an additional dessert course). The cost of the dinner seems about right too. If you haven't done so already, you should definitely contact the manager and discuss her promise to discount your bill.
re: Food Scrounger
Thanks for the clarification. It REALLY helps me form a more complete opinion about Bastide. I appreciate that.
Also, it is very sad that your dining experience was that deplorable. there is no excuse. There is also no excuse that your entire meal wasn't comped! You were really cheated! I still suggest you write a letter and get your money back (or your company's money). After giving them that kind of dough, I think you have a right to be heard properly.
re: Food Scrounger
One minor point: I've noticed that at some restaurants, the bill often will not come unless you ask for it. I always thought it was an European custom. I know at least one old school type person who will be minorly offended if the check comes before he is ready to leave.
re: Renault78law
We were ready to ask for the bill for quite some time, but no one from the waiting staff approached us. We were in the "chef's table" room. After waiting an intolerably long period of time, I got up from the table and went to search for someone to give us the bill. That's when I voiced our complaint.
re: allisonteal
I agree. 4.5 hours of poorly paced food is not fun. After food scrounges clarifying remarks, I have a clearer picture.
It sounds like you got cheated. That sucks. You should also write Bastide a letter. If for nothing else, to make sure they get their buts in gear before my wedding anniversary :) (just kidding).
re: jlrobe
We wrote. No response yet.
re: Food Scrounger
Well if you dont get a response, let us all know. It would really deter me from going if they didnt even dignify you with a response. That would be very low class in my opinion.
Well, I hope you have better dining days in the near future.
re: jlrobe
considering it's only been 2 days since the OP's dinner....i'd give bastide some time to respond.
I am so sorry that anyone has a bad experience at anyplace... the opera.. a museum.. wherever... but Bastide... I am amazed that any restaurant in Los Angeles survives given the attitude it its diners.... Bastide makes an attempt to serve a type and style of food that is rare.. it fails from time to time. but at least it tries.. unlike many of the places that are full ... of people who do not dine.. but eat.. if not for risk taking.. we would have nothing ... I doubt that any of the complainers have eaten at a GREAT restaurant on a bad night.. the French Laundry has bad nights... Fat Duck does.. but Cheesecake factory probably doesn't... so if you want perfection eat there .. and perfect wine comes with screw off caps........so I for one would rather have a bad night.. than the mediocrity that is required to make most people happy all the time.. the chef tries.. he take us on a journey... not to fill us up.. but to make us think.. it is not a place to EAT.. but to experience.. and the failures can be just as exciting as the successes if you are willng to learn about yourself.. and those you are with.. but not if you already know everything about everything. ... Bastide is about ART and Sondheim said "Art isn't easy... "..
re: restheaven
I don't disagree with your assessment of what Bastide tries to be, and what haute cuisine aims for.
But I think Food Scrounger's real gripe about the experience at Bastide was the service, both in terms of lack of attention and poor pacing of the different courses.
By Food Scrounger's own admission, the reviews of the food was actually a mixed-bag (e.g. some thought that it was "excellent" while others merely thought it was "o.k.").
I can forgive a restaurant's bad night when the issue involves the food and the execution in cooking, but when the bad night arises because of service hiccups, then it's less excusable in my opinion ... especially from seasoned veterans like those behind the operations of Bastide.
re: ipsedixit
I would also think that there's a higher expectation set on service when one spent $1600 on dinner.
Not every one is well off enough to spend that kind of dough and play russian roulette on the service.
I'm actually rather surprised by this thread. I had a wonderful experience at Bastide just the night before the initial poster. 7 courses; we chose our own wine (I'm not a fan of paired wines). Sat at 7:30 and out at 10:30-ish. I am not particularly surprised at the length of the initial poster's meal per se - bastide did strike me as a place that would allow one to linger unless a diner indicated otherwise. But, I must say, I am surprised by the comments with regard to the service. In fact, I tipped well above the already included gratuity because I felt the service had been stellar, especially compared to other recent dinners we'd had in LA. We have recently relocated to LA and honestly have been rather uniformly appalled by the level of service we've experienced, though bastide (and providence) were the fab exceptions.
I felt the food itself did range from the above average to the really rather tasty - I still have dreams about the thai-styled curried soup, but I could have lived without my slightly overcooked scallops.
As I read this thread I'm wondering if, somewhat paradoxically to most experiences, I went to bastide on the off good night??
re: nikky
I don't think you went to Bastide on the "off good night", both the posters who had unfavorable experiences were there on the same night. All other reports have praised the service, which was exceptional on the night we went. I'm eating there again this weekend, I hope my experience is as good as my last one!
re: hrhboo
I should point out, though, that nikky's experience of a 3 hour meal does seem to be an abberation since our meal ran to about four and a half hours. Anyone going should plan on at least a four hour dinner based on most the posts.
re: mollyomormon
my apologies, i meant to note that i did inform the server that i needed to leave by 11. they were more than accommodating and we did not feel rushed even though i had been told to expect an average of 4 hours for a 7 course meal - though honestly, a 3 - 3.5 hour dinner for us is lingering and we were probably there for 3 and a quarter hours ...
re: nikky
service in LA is very casual. Its how its done here. There arent many places that have the level of service as bastide.
Maybe melisse, ortolan, and possibly the foundry, but most great meals dont come with traditional service.
LA also has really loud dining rooms on average.
These are things that will require adjustment unfortunately.
Welcome to los angeles.
The two meals I had there were KILLER! I eat out a lot for business, and there really is no comparable experience to Bastide in LA. Is it for everyone? No-- and I say, that's great! You can dressed up and not feel out of place. TMZ is not lurking around the corner. You have an opportunity to try wines that are not on every single menu in town - or, if your pocketbook allows- legendary, epic ones. It definitely is not a quick bite, I'll give you that; but better than that than being icily reminded by an uppity hostess that they need the table back for an incoming party, as some of the trendiest restaurants in this town are wont to do. The night I went with three of my best girlfriends and sat there and yakked and drank and ate and drank and ate and yakked and drank and ate-- we had a ball! ( And a cab ride home). As far as cost , I have easily spent the same amount at Matsuhisa, Giorgio's, and Cut. I enjoy myself at those establishments, too. To throw out some cliches, variety is the spice of life and its not the destination but the journey thats important. Whatever -- i for one am happy as a clam that its open again.Plus... that bacon bread??? Petite puffy pillows of porky pleasure. THE BEST THING EVER.
Here's a follow-up on my original post. As I said, we voiced our concerns to the manager on the night in question and, given our concerns and uniform disappointment, we thought it appropriate to send a letter to the owner, Joe Pytka. Our purpose in writing the owner was to let him know how six diners perceived our evening. Our goal was to induce improvement, so that a restaurant that all of us had previously loved in each of its prior incarnations might get its act together.
Today, we received an envelope on Bastide stationery. There was no accompanying letter. All that was in the envelope was a copy two credit card receipts (my partner and I split the bill, treating another partner and his wife in celebration of his recent marriage), indicating that the restaurant had fully credited us for the cost of the meal
While I believe a full credit was appropriate under the circumstances, I would have much preferred a letter apologizing for the evening and indicating that Bastide would try harder in the future.
That's it. Classy establishment?
re: Food Scrounger
Cool that they comp'ed you, but yes, that's pretty tasteless.
re: Food Scrounger
Guess I can safely strike this restaurant out as one not to try. Even a little note that has one word 'sorry' would have sufficed.
re: notmartha
serious. you can't attribute this to a "bad day" or "bad night" either; they had time to sit, think about it, mull over it, and then proceed.
re: Food Scrounger
Not the most heartfelt apology but I'd pick $1600 over words any day.
re: hrhboo
or maybe both? just maybe? and I don't think it would constitute an apology. More of a "here, stfu" pittance, akin to a a company saying "we will settle, but we vehemently deny doing any wrong"
re: ns1
Of course, hopefully both! But if it was one or the other, I'd rather the entire meal be comped than some lame apology. All the explaining in the world won't give them back their time, but at least now they can put the refund towards a great meal somewhere else that will hopefully meet their expectations.
re: hrhboo
money comes and goes.....but experiences last a lifetime.
re: wilafur
Yes, but now it's all over and done with. The experience will remain a bad one forever, refunds/apologies can't change that. A verbal/written apology should be expected and Bastide really missed the mark there, but it won't erase their bad night from their memories.
re: hrhboo
i beg to differ. if pytka sent a sincere letter inviting the OP back for a meal to make up for the OP's lackluster experience, that would probably change the OP's overall experience with bastide. unfortunately, bastide v2 is probably going to be tucked away in the OP's long term memory as a travesty of an experience.
re: wilafur
Food Scrounger didn't love it the first time he went and wasn't planning to return. He did return a second time and didn't like it at all. He may be willing to give them a third chance, but now at least has the option to enjoy a blowout dinner somewhere else more to his liking. Frankly, after two bad experiences I wouldn't eat somewhere again even if it was free.
re: hrhboo
true enough, after 2 less than good (instead of stellar mind you, hehe!) experiences would lead me to never go back.
re: hrhboo
Well, I just hope the reviews coming out of Bastide are stellar from now on. I like to support the local restaurant scene and this place seems very promising, so I dont want to ex it off my list anytime soon.
re: Food Scrounger
Wow. Thats truly unfortunate. What a terrible PR move. If even Pytka is too proud to write it, or is too frustrated to write it, he should have had his secretary do it. You would never know the difference. Heck, he could have just sent a standard letter.
I think he was sending a message by doing that.
re: jlrobe
it's hush money.
re: jlrobe
Yeah, that's extremely unclassy, remuneration or not.
Earlier this year I had a very bad experience at Malo when I had my birthday dinner/drinks there. I wrote a detailed letter to the manager laying out all the problems with the service, and within a week got a phone call from him (he left me a voicemail at first) apologizing profusely, asking for my girlfriend's credit card info to have the bill credited back to her, and offering us dinner on the house the next time we came in.
Now, granted, Malo and Bastide are different animals on many levels. But I should think, if anything, Bastide should be even MORE proactive about keeping their repeat clientele happy, given the world-class reputation they're cultivating.
re: Food Scrounger
Holy cow. DEFINITELY could have been handled with more class. I can't believe they didn't even include a short note.
Writing the owner was the right thing to do, and you did spend ~$267 per person, and it's surprising that they couldn't even be bothered to drop a short note. I'm with you, a real letter/note would have given a hugely better impression.
I would think that the appropriate response would have been a nice letter or note with an invitation to return "on the house" at some future date.
The only caveat is that we don't know the content of the letter sent to Pytka, but I think it is beyond a safe assumption that Food Scrounger sent one that was appropriate. Right?
I guess getting the $$'s back is better than nothing, but geez, they really missed an opportunity to turn a bad situation into a potentially good one... for no incremental cost!
re: woojink
If anyone here knows anything about Joe Pytka, they know he is not a very nice guy.
He is the owner of Bastide on paper but not because he wants anything to do with the daily demands of owning it. Is it possible that the restaurant is just a nickname for him pronounced with a french accent?
re: Dyspepsia
Take away the last letter and it's exactly how you pronounce it in Boston.
re: Dyspepsia
Dyspepsia, I have to comment about Joe Pytka. YES, he's a tryant, YES, he's unique/crazy/loud/fill in the adjective, but he does indeed have a very real presence in the restaurant. He had a hand in tasting every single item that is on the menu from the bread to the food to the coffee to the wine. In fact, most of the wine comes from his private and personal collection. He has one of the largest wine collections of any individual in the US, or so I've read.
His personality is odd and almost abrasive but don't discredit him totally. He CAN be an insanely nice guy: I know he brought his own bottle of five-figure wine to another very expensive LA restaurant and had one sip and then offered the entire bottle to the wait staff for his enjoyable meal. I also know that when he reopened Bastide he comped three or four days of meals entirely...not for friends and family, mind you, but as a genuine 'thank you for dining and sharing your true thoughts' comp.
Just offering a different side...Now if you go to youtube and type in Joe Pytka, you may be interested in what you find....
re: peanut112
On the other hand, "nice" and "unwilling to ever admit being wrong" are definitely not mutually exclusive.
re: Dyspepsia
Wow he must be the boss from hell to inspire such premeditated and abiding hostility that there are tshirts decrying his existence!!
I haven't ever seen one on anybody though.
re: woojink
The letter was a polite, straightforward report on the evening---what transpired that caused us to be hugely disappointed. It was not angry; it was factual. The tone was that Mr. Pytka should know what occurred so that he would be better able to address the issues and, hopefully, correct the problems. Remember: We have been going to restaurants situated in the Bastide location for about 30 years, starting with one of our favorites, Le Restaurant. We really loved having Bastide return; we loved being able to dine at that location. We really wanted the place to get its act together.

Free Radio is a network of five Independent Local Radio stations in the West Midlands of England. The network, owned and operated by Orion Media, was launched on Monday 26 March 2012 as a result of the rebranding of four stations - BRMB, Beacon, Mercia and Wyvern. On Tuesday 4 September 2012, a secondary AM station broadcasting 1980s chart music and football commentaries, Free Radio 80s, was launched.
Free Radio[edit]
BRMB began broadcasting to Birmingham and the surrounding areas on 19 February 1974 - the fourth ILR station to launch in the UK and the first English station of its kind outside London. Beacon Radio has served Wolverhampton and the Black Country since 12 April 1976 with its licence area expanded to cover Shropshire in 1987. Mercia Sound (later Mercia) was launched in Coventry and Warwickshire on 23 May 1980, followed by Radio Wyvern in Herefordshire and Worcestershire on 4 October 1982.
These stations were initially run independently of each other, although by the late 1980s, BRMB and Mercia were under the ownership of Midlands Radio plc, alongside AM station Xtra AM, which broadcast on both stations' former AM frequencies. The group was bought for £18 million by Capital Radio plc in 1993, who sold Mercia to the GWR Group but retained BRMB. GWR went onto buy Beacon from its holding company BCCL in 1995 and Wyvern FM two years later. The four licences came under the same ownership in 2005 when GWR and Capital merged to form GCap Media.
GCap was taken over in 2007 by Global Radio but the Office of Fair Trading ruled in August 2008 that Global would need to sell off BRMB, Beacon, Mercia, Wyvern and Heart's East Midlands station due to concerns over competition interests. The stations were bought in May 2009 by a consortium led by former Chrysalis Radio chief executive Phil Riley, trading as Orion Media. Heart East Midlands continued to operate under a franchise agreement with Global until January 2011, when the station was rebranded as Gem 106 and replaced most networked output with local programming from Nottingham.
On 9 January 2012, Orion announced that it would rebrand its four West Midlands stations as Free Radio from March 2012 onwards.[1] The former on-air station brands were phased out on Wednesday 21 March 2012 in preparation for the rebrand, which took place on Monday 26 March 2012 at 7pm.
Free Radio 80s[edit]
On 24 May 2012, Orion Media announced it would relaunch its Gold West Midlands stations on AM frequencies and DAB as Free Radio 80s.[2] The station broadcasts locally-produced programming playing 1980s chart music alongside news & information and live football commentaries. The station launched on Tuesday 4 September 2012.
The four Free Radio local stations broadcast daily breakfast and weekday drivetime shows to each of their coverage areas. Output outside of these hours consist of networked programming, broadcast largely from Orion's headquarters in Birmingham, from where local output for the Birmingham and Coventry stations also originate. Programming for Shropshire & the Black Country and Herefordshire & Worcestershire is broadcast from studios in Oldbury and Worcester respectively.
Up until the rebrand, BRMB, Beacon and Mercia also broadcast live football commentaries on Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Coventry City, West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers matches. The commentaries are now broadcast on Free Radio 80s.[3] Local news bulletins are broadcast hourly from 6am to 7pm on weekdays and from 7am to 1pm on weekends with headlines on the half hour during weekday breakfast and drivetime.

If you happen to be in a few select cities you may find a random wallet on the ground from Burger King. Inside, there's a note from The King to keep the wallet, cash ranging from a $1 bill to $100 bill, a gift card to Burger King, a "driver's license" featuring The King, and a map of Burger King restaurants in the area in which the wallet was dropped. If you are one of the lucky ones, snap a picture of you and the wallet and send it to us!

During Christmas time UNICEF runs information booths at local shopping centers. They wanted to get in contact with people to teach them about the dangers of landmines. Their solution was stickers with self-adhesive topsides, with one side looking like the floor and the other looking like a landmine. They placed them on the floor and when people removed them they discovered the landmine picture on the bottom and were informed that in other countries they would have been mutilated at that moment.
The results:- Visits at the booth doubled compared to 2006 – Sales of UNICEF items at the booths (cards etc.) increased by approx. 20% compared to 2006.

Advertising Specialty Institute®, the largest media and marketing organization serving the advertising specialty industry, revealed earlier in November a groundbreaking new study that promotional products beat out all forms of TV, radio and print advertising as the most cost-effective advertising medium available.
The comprehensive study was completed by a team of interviewers who surveyed travelers in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. Respondents were asked if they had received any advertising specialties in the last 12 months and the majority were businesspeople over age 21.
Among key findings, results indicate that:
* 84% of people remember the advertiser on a product they receive.
* 42% have a more favorable impression of an advertiser after receiving an advertising specialty.
* Nearly one quarter, or 24%, indicate that they are more likely to do business with an advertiser on items they receive.
* Most respondents (62%) have done business with the advertiser on a product after receiving it.
* The majority (81%) of promotional products were kept because they were considered useful.
* Among wearables, bags were reported to be used most frequently, with respondents indicating that they use their bags on average nine times per month.
* The average cost-per-impression of an advertising specialty item is $0.004, making it less expensive per impression than nearly any other media. (According to Nielsen Media data, the CPI for a national magazine ad is $0.033; a newspaper ad is $0.0129; a prime time TV ad is $0.019; a cable TV ad is $0.007; a syndicated TV ad is $0.006; and a spot radio ad is $0.005)
These statistics conclude that marketers get a more favorable return on investment from advertising specialties than almost any other popular media, with a very low cost-per-impression, high recall among those who receive ad specialty items, and increased intent among recipients to make purchases from the advertiser.

We did some research to figure out just how much McCain and Obama are spending on promotional products. According to OpenSecrets.org, McCain has spent $4.5 million on materials for the 2008 campaign with $322,089 going toward t-shirts, buttons, bumper stickers, yard signs, etc. Obama has spent $5 million on campaign materials with $648,955 going toward t-shirts, buttons, yard signs, etc.
It looks like the Obama campaign understands the power of promotional products. However, if they need any consulting they should contact us
Toys not only inspire young children, but motivate adults who are in the wrong career, as well. A direct mail campaign for Monster.com emphasized the importance of a job that fits by distributing packages of toy soldiers containing one gun-wielding pink ballerina. The bag reads, "Stuck in the wrong job?" Apparently a lot of people felt like the ballerina in the soldier bag because new IP visits and registration increased significantly.

As ingenious as the Post-it is, sometimes getting your point across takes a little more creativity. Take this snazzy toaster designed by Sasha Tseng for example. Notes written on the message board are toasted onto the bread of your choice, leaving a breakfast-time message that's hard to ignore… unless you're really hungry.
Of course, if you're looking for a long-term reminder, try something a little less perishable like a message fan or a custom notepad.
Providing solutions before there's a problem can really get attention. The Eatalica restaurant wanted to spread the word of a new and extremely juicy burger. Direct mail was sent to customers featuring a "Just-in-case" pouch with a stain-removing wipe. This tactic created positive feelings, a sense of the burger's excessive juiciness, and lots of referrals.
There are lots of ways to send solutions before there's a problem:
Sunscreen key chains for an outdoor event
Seat cushions for a sporting event
Coffee set for a late night event

With top companies spending billions of dollars advertising to prospective clients, customer acquisition appears to be the most important objective at these businesses. However, a business' most valuable consumers are often its current customers.
Here are five tools that businesses can use to follow up with customers:
1. Start simple with a Thank You card. Businesses that don't send Thank You cards are usually facing time constraints. Thank You cards send a positive message, especially if they are hand-written. Although this does take time, a thoughtful Thank You card can separate your business from the competition (especially if they're too busy to send one!)
2. Similar to Thank You cards, postcards are another way to follow up with your customers through the mail. An added benefit of using postcards is that they can deliver a variety of messages. Postcards can serve as reminders, congratulatory messages, holiday greetings or marketing fodder. Keep the message informative and fun, but not overly promotional. Imprinting a brand logo on the postcard is a sufficient reminder to the customer.
3. "Leave Behinds" are simply promotional products given to customers after a client meeting or sales transaction to show a business' appreciation and leave a lasting impression. The product essentially follows the customer to their home or workplace and serves as a reminder tool.
4. Use corporate gifts to build customer loyalty while increasing your brand's value. Corporate gifts are a popular use of high-end promotional products. Start by gathering a list of your top clients. It could be a large or small group depending on your budget. Keep in mind that the goal of corporate gifts is to add value to a brand and its relationship with the consumer, so choosing a high quality gift in lower quantities is more effective than a high quantity of products with lower value. Corporate gifts are a great way to keep your business at the top of clients' minds.
5. A strategy to communicate with customers after a sale is to collect feedback. Follow-up a sale with a phone call or e-mail that surveys the customer's experience and satisfaction with the product or service. This is a strategy that has two-way benefits. Not only will customers feel empowered with the opportunity to voice their opinion, but businesses can greatly benefit from the information gathered. Just remember to keep the survey short and simple.
When implementing these CRM strategies, it is important for businesses to keep two key ideas in mind. First, personalization helps cut through the clutter. A direct mail piece addressed to "Our Valued Customer" defeats the purpose of CRM. Imprinting a brand logo or message onto a promotional product makes the gift more personal. Personalization reduces the generic feel that plagues most marketing campaigns. Secondly, a loyal customer is a business' best salesperson. Customers who are satisfied with their relationship with a business are a doorway to new sales leads. In other words, investing in customer retention also leads to customer acquisition.

Important Hot Stove dates, which starts tomorrow
The 2014 MLB season will conclude tonight following Game 7 of the World Series between the Giants and Royals.
Starting tomorrow, MLB teams will have five days to decide whether to make qualifying offers to their players eligible to be free agents. Players will have 12 days to accept or decline.
The GM Meetings will be in Phoenix, AZ, Nov. 10-12.
Matthew Cerrone: In the last few years, thanks to real-time, digital reporting, more and more fun rumors leak from the GM Meetings. In addition to conferences and meetings about league issues, the GM Meetings are now used for teams to meet, talk about agendas, player values, offseason plans, learn who wants who, who's available, etc. In the past, the next month was used for research, with deals happening during or after the Winter Meetings in early December. However, last year, a bevy of activity went down during November, not long after the GM Meetings.
The buzz in baseball is that teams got spooked by asking prices last year, they saw how much money was floating around the game, and triggers were pulled to get on deals earlier than later. Will that happen again? Who knows. One thing we can always count on, though, is an appearance by Scott Boras, who never misses a moment to make jokes and goofy metaphors about the Mets, their payroll and market.
The Baseball Writer's Association of American name their NL Rookie of the Year on November 10.
The Rawlings Gold Glove award will be announced Nov. 4.
The last day for teams to offer 2015 contracts to their unsigned players is Dec. 2, six days before the MLB Winter Meetings which will be Dec. 8-11 in San Diego.

How do I retrieve files that have been deleted from the Recycle Bin, Part 2
Last week I received a question, "How do I retrieve files that have been deleted from the Recycle Bin?" Since then, I received a few really good suggestions from a few Infopackets Readers.
The first one comes from Rick K. His answer was very complete -- much more than mine was -- which is also why his suggestion * might * be a over the heads of some readers. I've edited Rick's response a bit and have also added a few comments of my own in an attempt to clear any technical jargon.
Infopackets Reader Rick K. writes:
" The Recycle Bin is an attempt to copy what Apple does, which is to move a deleted item to a different directory temporarily. When a file is actually deleted by emptying the Recycle Bin, the File Allocation Table* replaces the first character of the file name with a (?) character indicating that this space is now available; however, the file still remains on the drive until it is overwritten by another file.
Side note: File Allocation Table -- "FAT" for short-form -- is a "table of contents" of where all files are stored on the hard drive. When a request to obtain a file is made from the computer, the FAT is first looked at, and then the file is loaded (allocated) from the listed location.
Before attempting to do anything else with the computer which might overwrite the "now marked" empty space listed in the Recycle Bin, consider using a utility such as Norton Undelete*. This program will show a list of deleted files on the hard drive; each deleted file listed will have a missing character (a Question Mark). If the file is healthy (being, that it was not yet overwritten by another file), you may attempt to "fill in the blank" with the Question Mark and try to retrieve the deleted file.
Depending on your flavor of Windows, there are Shareware / Freeware programs to undelete files -- some require technical knowledge as they simply read whichever formula File Allocation Table you use - FAT, FAT32, NTFS(4) NTFS5, etc."
Chris B. gave me his two cents:
I suggest downloading the freeware program "PC Inspector File Recovery" available from WebAttack; the download is about 2.9 MB. This program will recover anything -- except erased or wiped files, of course. Note: this is not Spyware / Adware. It's really free! A few mouse-clicks and you will have your file back. There is a no-brainer short tutorial in the help file. You can recover the deleted file from the "Recycled" folder (it will have a different name), or even better from the original folder if you can remember where you originally deleted it from (it will have the same name as the original). Save the recovered file where you want.

∞ Something simple I like to do when discussing LibyaSubmitted by InnerG on Tue, 08/23/2011 - 12:48
I like to make this statement...
Imagine if NATO intervened in the civil war, and chose the side of the rebels...
You almost always get the response, "Isn't that the case?"
To which I reply, "Yes. Now let me add one word."
Imagine if NATO intervened in the American civil war, and chose the side of the rebels...
Just thought I'd share a simple, easy and effective way to make a great point. Have a great day all.
- Login to post comments
That's golden right there.
Nice~! I like to
draw attention to the fact that this noble cause has terrible consequences: In an effort to take Col K out, we dropped a bomb and killed 3(?) of his grandkids.
Now I simply ask the person; "How big a piece of dirt do I have to be to justify killing my grandchildren?"
Stay out of their business... yes a bad man will continue to do bad things, but better than the good people doing bad things.
....where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is LIBERTY. 2 Corinthians 3:17(b)
***wants are unlimited, means are scarce...***
hehe thanks
those are good points. I have argued something similar and been told that the killing of kids from bombs is just collateral damage and is at the fault of Gaddafi for not bending knee. Can you believe that? It's sad but true.
I also do draw attention to other things after making this point as well, like:
- NATO was created as a system of collective defense where its member states agreed to mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party
- NATO's first Secretary General, Lord Ismay, famously stated the organization's goal was "to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down".
Or in my own words I say that NATO was founded to defend against external threats and ever since Bosnia they have gone from defenders to aggressors. Libya easily shows this as they've attacked noone.
This usually leads into sovereignty and sovereign countries which is ultimately important.
You might hurt someone's brain, though, making them think like that....
I may borrow that little statement for a few people I know.

European Directors and Their Films: Essays on Cinema (Hardback)
$71.05 - Save $9.96 12% off - RRP $81.01 Free delivery worldwide Available
Dispatched in 2 business days When will my order arrive? | |
DescriptionAt a time when movie reviews have degenerated into mere publicity and film scholarship has become entangled in pedantic discourse, close readings of major directing careers and significant films are a needed alternative. In European Directors and Their Films: Essays on Cinema, Bert Cardullo analyzes of some of the most important film artists and individual films of the last several decades. Beyond simple biographical capsules and plot summaries, these readings demonstrate with elegance and clarity what cinema means as well as what it shows, explaining how international moviemakers use the resources of the medium to pursue complex, significant human goals. In this volume Cardullo offers fresh perspectives on some of the established greats of European cinema-including Vittorio De Sica (Shoeshine, Bicycle Thieves, Umberto D.), Federico Fellini (I Vitelloni, La Strada, Nights of Cabiria), Jean Renoir (Grand Illusion, The Rules of the Game), Robert Bresson (L'Argent), Jacques Tati (Mr. Hulot's Holiday), Ingmar Bergman (Winter Light, Autumn Sonata), Eric Rohmer (A Tale of Winter), and Roman Polanski (The Pianist)-as well as insights into vital work by such contemporary filmmakers as Michael Haneke (The Piano Teacher), Sergei Bodrov (Prisoner of the Mountains), Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne (La Promesse, The Son, L'Enfant), Andrei Kravchuk (The Italian), and Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days). Including essays on filmmakers from continental Europe, Russia, and Scandinavia, this engaging companion to World Directors and Their Films will appeal to general readers as well as scholars of international cinema.

text: Winter is coming—as are the numerous Game of Thrones memes that pop up once this realizations starts hitting the public—but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy an unabashed bit of beach pop. Such is especially the case for the band Inspired and the Sleep, a rock outfit based out of San Diego, where the beach is but a hop and a skip away. The band's latest tune, "Pool Guard", is coated in summertime nostalgia, and its cheeky flute line brings to mind images of the Brady Bunch's trip to Hawaii.

Alexander Calls for Resignation of Secretary Sebelius
Says "no private sector CEO would escape accountability after such a poor performance"

"Expecting this secretary to be able to fix in a few weeks what she has not been able to fix during the last three and one half years is unrealistic. It is throwing good money after bad." – Lamar Alexander
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 – The senior Republican on the Senate health committee today (Video HERE) called for President Obama to ask Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to resign.
Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) said: "Expecting this secretary to be able to fix in a few weeks what she has not been able to fix during the last three and one half years is unrealistic. It is throwing good money after bad."
Alexander pointed to at least 1.5 million Americans who are losing health care coverage starting on January 1 because their policies are not legal under Obamacare.
"If the exchange is not working, they will not be able to choose another policy through that exchange. At some point there has to be accountability," Alexander said. "Taxpayers have spent $400 million to create exchanges that, after three and one half years, still don't work."
He continued: "No private sector chief executive officer would escape accountability after such a poor performance. And the principle of accountability is not foreign to the public sector. Admiral Hyman Rickover, father of the nuclear navy, told his submarine captains that they were not only accountable for their ships, but they were also accountable for the nuclear reactor on their ships. If anything went wrong with the reactor, their career in the Navy was over, the Admiral said. As a result of that dose of accountability, since the 1950's there never has been a death as a result of a problem with a naval submarine reactor."
"Americans deserve that kind of accountability in the implementation of the new health care law," he said.
Alexander added: "Instead, the Secretary appears not even to have told the President about known problems with the Obamacare website in the months and days leading up to the launch. Despite repeated requests, she has refused to tell Congress or the public the reasons the Obamacare website continues to fail while insisting on more time and an undisclosed amount of money to fix it."
"It is time for the President to ask the Secretary of Health and Human Services to resign."
