- ChazVIPDined on 11/15/2014Newly spruced up with an expanded menu, Taste is highly recommended. Best polenta I've ever had--with excellent short ribs. Beer list superb---try Houblon, rated 94 by beer advocateSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood treasureBwlib1VIPDined on 11/10/2014I have been going to Taste for years. Eli Zabar keeps improving his restaurant. After a total overhaul, it is serene yet lively. The food is better than ever! The staff are top-rate and make a wonderful experience even better. This is a home run!Special Features:
- great brunchDrpal516Dined on 11/9/2014there aren't too many excellent brunch places on the upper east side, but this is one of them...attached to Zabar's, great breads and muffins, excellent pancakes and omelets.....we were six people and everyone's food was terrific...highly recommendedSpecial Features:
- dindinDined on 11/7/2014love this UES market driven menu--such great quality ingredients simply prepared.Special Features:
- EllenVIPDined on 10/29/2014It's our favorite restaurant at the moment. Dorothy is wonderful, the atmosphere is attractive and comfortable (now), the food almost always "up to snuff" and Richard loves the wine list. Hugs, Ellen PS: Hope to see you soon! Let's make a planSpecial Features:
- Worth the walkOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/22/2014Even though I consider this restraunt a neighborhood gem, we walked 35 blocks in the rain to have dinner here! Imaginative cocktails, wonderful wine, great food and friendly service!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EllenVIPDined on 10/14/2014Very pleasant but tables a bit too close together and tends to get noisy in corners, especially.Special Features:
- For real food loverselizabethVIPDined on 10/10/2014If you appreciate the importance of quality ingredients in your food........this is the restaurant for you. Taste is like going to a friend's house for dinner and that friend happens to be a great cook. There is no better food or service on the upper east side. Some people perceive the restaurant as "expensive" but it isn't any more expensive than other restaurants of it's quality. We have been eating at Taste since it opened and it has only gotten better. I write this grudgingly because it has been like a well kept secret.....I don't really want it to become a big popular place......but they deserve the accolades and attention.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious. Fantastic.TastebudsDelightDined on 10/5/2014We took out of town guests for dinner and we're thrilled with the absolutely delicious meal, warm friendly service and exquisite ingredients. The problem was choosing among the varied items I the menu. The sommelier was extremely helpful and we were pleased with the burgandy he recommended. Our friends were equally impressed with the overall experience and said it was the best meal they'd had in NYC and they'd been to some very famous top places.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gets better and betterEllenVIPDined on 9/25/2014Finally, chairs are new and comfortable, design of the restaurant is warm and elegant (to be made more so when the murals are installed). . .food always fresh and what the time and weather suggests, interestingly presented. It's both comfortable and beautifully "unfussy". . .Special Features:
- AWDogVIPDined on 9/20/2014If it ain't broke don't fix it. Why Eli decided to leave behind delicious fresh food, I will never know. But he did. Heirloom tomatoes so buried in stuff that they might as well been a couple of slices of wonder bread.

- Another Excellent Dinner at TasteIrishfe53VIPDined on 6/5/2014Despite my former colleague's being an hour late because of a work emergency, we enjoyed a fine dinner with thoughtful service. The waiter understood that ours would be a slow but happy dinner. He was considerate, helpful and patient. The doors were open to a lovely late spring evening. I liked the sardine and soft shell crab appetizers. My friend devoured her pasta. She took home a slice of lemon meringue cake. Taste is like its parent Eli's. Both offer consistent high quality food with responsive service. NYers appreciate both the food stores and the restaurants.Special Features:
- Ho-HumkabongVIPDined on 5/7/2014Them only thing to justify the high prices here is the quiet space where you can hear one another without straining. The service is attentive and professional. The food is competent and if that is enough, go for it. It just does not feel generous.
- Quiet and comfortableEllenVIPDined on 5/6/2014Food always fresh and interesting. Service excellent. Usually quiet. All good!Special Features:
- great wineMadaveyDined on 3/8/2014The food was delicious but the wine was spectacular! They have the benefit of being connected to their wine shop and they have a limited but well chosen wine list. The prices were reasonable and we were not disappointed with the choices. Additionally the service was very attentive and took very good care of us. It is a small place, maybe 120 seats and that lends to a very quiet and relaxed experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding serrviceJoanVIPDined on 3/3/2014Exemplary wait staff--what all restaurants should emulate. Overall, food very well prepared, if somewhat pricey.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always comfortable and foodChazVIPDined on 2/26/2014Always comfortable and food top notch. Not inexpensive. In the midst of renovation. For now, seating reduced and near bar area.Special Features:
- surprisingly good for NYC Rest wkjmwc42VIPDined on 2/26/2014Saw iffy re view in NYT, went anyway, dining room was little threadbare but seated right away enjoyed the suggestion of wine/drink pairings! had terrific brisket, colleague completely finished fish and salad, warm welcome and service. a find.. accessible for this wheelchair using foodie (showed us the access route, though not advertised as accessible!)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fresh, flavorful food!nycfoodloverVIPDined on 2/24/2014Went for restaurant week and really enjoyed. Chose an appetizer off the regular menu - the zucchini fritti; which was awesome. Bread was warm+delicious. Wine was great. It was pretty empty when we went, which was surprising. I think people don't really know Taste is there. I've probably passed it 1,000 times and always thought it was part of Eli's. Anyway, the chicken, sea bass and brisket were all REALLY good (we all share)-cooked the right way, for the right amount of time, w/ the right flavors. YUM. Service was ok. Expected a little more attentiveness due to the emptiness, but maybe it was thought that we just wanted to have a girls' night to ourselves. Dessert was just ok, cappuccino was bitter, but all-in-all, great meal. I'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- QUIETNosoyformeDined on 1/25/2014You don't find many quiet restaurants on a Saturday night in Manhattan. The restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived at 7:00 which was great because one in our party was 90 years old and hard of hearing. It was filling up as we left so if you have an elderly friend to take out to dinner, try Taste in the early evening. The food was great ,as was the service. The portions were not oversize so no food to take home which, if you are visiting Manhattan and staying in a hotel, this is a plus.I would recommend this to a friend.
- An absolute pleasuredoctor1VIPDined on 12/27/2013This was the second time we ate at Taste and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner both visits. Drinks before dinner were well mixed. The oysters were lovely and the steak is probably the best I have ever eaten. Staff actually remembered us from our prior dinner. Service was attentive but not intrusive. They grow their own greens and everything is high quality. We will definitely be backSpecial Features:
- Unusual wines---at a price.ChazVIPDined on 12/23/2013While menu changes infrequently, wines are varied with odd bottles from the wine shop next door popping up. Had a pricey Santorini white---superb---highly recommended. Food always good and bread outstanding. If you've got the dough it's great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- quite excellentnettunoVIPDined on 11/23/2013We had a very nice dinner at Taste. Our reservation was on the later side and the restaurant was very quiet. We had a wonderful table in the corner. The wine list wasn't specifically large, but very well put together with quite a broad range of options and well priced I think. The service was perfect UES service: professional, polite, well informed, but also very unobtrusive. Meal was excellent and the lemon meringue cake was the perfect way to end a well balanced meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OKkabongVIPDined on 11/4/2013Is it OK for arestaurant to be OK? Yes, but at these prices it should feel more "generous". But it is OK.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this place. Super food,CookieDined on 10/17/2013Love this place. Super food, lovely service, seems easy to get into and nicely quiet. Has become a regulatorSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Taste againkabongVIPDined on 10/16/2013Returning to Taste after a long time and hoping to find something different it was disappointing to say the least. I am not exactly sure why dining there is so unsatisfying but it may just be that at the very high prices you expect something more. Taste does not feel generous. The service is fine. The noise level perfect for quiet dining.
- Keeps getting better. AndChazVIPDined on 9/30/2013Keeps getting better. And the wine selection has been expanded with some very interesting choices. Very highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Happy to discover TasteOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 7/15/2013I live in the neighborhood, and did not realize there was a restaurant at Eli's. A friend took me here, and I was so pleasanty surprised. The food is terrific, comes from Eli's stores, and he service (Dorothy) is wonderful. I now plan to go on a regular basis. I do know they will be doing some renovation to make the restaurant more prominent, and to make the bar more lively. The dining will be the same, though on just one side of the restaurant.Special Features:

- Although the wine and theOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 3/3/2013Although the wine and the liver were very nice. My chicken was dry. There were no green vegetable to order. The waiter was clueless and seemed to be on a automatic. He had ordered a bottle of wine that was on our table and he went into offering their special wine. Okay not a problem....However, it kept happing with the whole meal. The whole staff was staring at us at 9:45 to leave. It is not a place i will return.
- not really a wine bar. moreOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 3/2/2013not really a wine bar. more of a stodgy atmosphere than I expected. the food was all too rich and old fashioned.
- We were there for brunch andOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 2/24/2013We were there for brunch and other than the smoked fish plate (terrific!), the food was good (but standard) breakfast fare. The fish taco was disappointing-- there really should be two tortillas for that price! Also they should give you a bagel with the fish plate. Overall a decent experience though.
- Quiet restarant with goodOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 2/23/2013Quiet restarant with good food and great service. Quiet enough to carry on a conversation at dinner. Great wine list with professional service and very nicely priced wines. Would go back again.Special Features:

Our Summary Review
With "one of the best waterside views on the East End", this "cash-only" "seafood shack" in Montauk is "always crowded", as much for the "beautiful sunsets" as for the "sensational" lobster and "affordable" bill (courtesy of the BYO-only policy); you'll "stand on line" to order, then nab a "picnic table" on a deck that "could use a spruce-up", but "never mind the minimalist digs", just enjoy the "briny breeze" and get cracking; P.S. closed mid-October to mid-April.

Review this movie
Oct 18, 2014Source Code is a great piece of original science-fiction that has intense scenes, really good occasional violence and a strong lead performance from Jake Gyllenhall.
Sep 11, 2014In my opinion one of the best movie in these years and one my favourites ever. Intriguing and deep plot, never boring and really really touching at the end. I never wrote a Metacritic review but i'm doing it now just to tell you to watch this movie.
Sep 4, 2014As Duncan Jones second work as director, he's quickly proving his exquisite skill behind the camera. There are extreme complexities here, but because of the pace and rhythm from Jones, we enjoy every step of the way. Also, another achievement for Jake Gyllenhaal's collection of beautiful dramatic work.
Jul 12, 2014Source Code is an entertaining concept thriller. It takes the whole Groundhog Day time lapse thing and constructs a new action-orientated premise out of it. Great fun all the way around.
Jun 23, 2014Fascinating and wonderful movie. An interesting idea presented here. A lot of good solid action. Well acted and a very innovative script. This is one to own!
Jun 18, 2014A great movie that gets better with repeated watching! After recently seeing Edge of Tomorrow (a crappy Tom Cruise flick that stole heavily from this movie) it made me appreciate this movie even more and I felt prompted to write a review. Source Code has many nuanced aspects that you may miss on first watching. The ending is very compelling and thought provoking. I loved this movie as much as Moon, this director's first movie. If you love S.C., see Moon also because although it was made on a low budget, it is just as brilliant!… Expand
Jun 17, 2014"Source Code is not time travel. Rather, Source Code is time re-assignment. It gives us access to a parallel reality."
Source Code is a top notch sci-fi thriller with an engaging story, a great lead actor that carries the film, and honestly after watching it i was rather mad at myself that it took me this long to see it. I have actually owned the movie since its been out on Blu ray but i just never got around to watching it. Lately though I've been trying to watch more movies i haven't seen so this was next up on the list also i justed watched Edge of Tomorrow last week so that also made me want to see this. Just like with Edge of Tomorrow this movie has been called a ripoff of "Groundhogs Day" which seriously sounds so stupid because its not like every other movie takes the formula of a successful film and then makes a movie with its own story based off that.
The movie follows Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) a U.S. Army helicopter pilot. Colter wakes up on a train dazed and not sure where he is as he was last aware of being on a mission in Afghanistan. He is sitting next to a woman Christina Warren (Michelle Monaghan) she acts likes she knows him and this freaks him he looks around for a bit then he notices a strange reflection in the window so he heads to the bathroom to figure out that he is not is his own body but the body of another person. Just when he leaves the bathroom Michelle and him start to argue about who he really is and then BOOM! the train blows up and we see Colter wake up into what seems to be the real world. This is when he is introduced to Colleen Goodwin (Vera Farmiga) all she does is ask questions about the train but Colter doesn't remember anything so she sends him back in.
So now we have our movie in which it does show several moments over and over again which i guess some people had a problem with but i didn't find it a problem. Now something that wasn't so much of a problem but was still something that could have made the movie just a little better was. The "Source Code" program people that were highly under developed but seeing that the story doesn't call for them being a big part it wasn't that big of a problem still though a little more info on them would have been nice. I will say my biggest problem with the movie is its beyond bland villain and his ultra cliche reasoning for why he is doing this and just like Non-Stop it was so much great build up for a underwhelming ending also was him being dead supposed to be a twist because they tell you before hand that only a dead person can use the source code program so that was a dead give away, i caught it i guess many didn't.
Overall i give it a 7.5 Jake Gyllenhaal does another fantastic performance, I seriously don't understand why some people don't like the guy he is a exceptional actor.… Expand
Jun 5, 2014Just something a bit different and varied, Source Code really does not fail to deliver in any way. The story is engaging, the characters, although a little cliche, each have their own personality, and overall the film is adrenaline fueled, emotional, and twists and turns throughout it's entirety. It's the kind of film that has you believe you've worked it all out, and then throws a curve ball, and it's fantastic.
This is highly recommended to anyone with an interest in action and thriller films, and wants something outside of the cliched and copy-pasted generic flicks we get day in, day out.… Expand
Jan 16, 2014This is second Jake Gyllenhaal in row I have watched and have come away impressed with his ability to carry a movie. The script was a well done for a sci-fi with a limited premise. Think groundhog day meets an alternate reality/time travel episode on star trek. That being said it is the human element and the characters that drive this movie vs. the sci-fi element the film is based on. Definitely worth the rent.… Expand
Dec 21, 2013Very interesting concept anyone that's played Remember Me (2013 video game) will probably enjoy this. Basically you watch the same film clip over and over again but what makes it interesting is that each time you find out more about the story and the character overall. Source Code certainly doesn't come short in the originality department and it executes it very well. The only problem is that not much seemed to happen. The backstory and plot and characters were nowhere near deep enough or explored given the time and opportunities. It's not something for everyone, and I wouldn't call it a great film in its own right, but I can credit it for its uniqueness.… Expand
Dec 16, 2013Solid Sci-Fi movie with a solid hook. The conversations between sim runs are very nicely shot so as to not reveal too much too soon, which keeps you closely bound to the perspective of Colter Stevens as you're watching. Like a movie version of a first-person book. Jake Gyllenhaal was a really good pick for this movie because of the mindshare he brings to the table from his other movies.
Oct 6, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not an amazing movie. The idea behind the history is a little lie. And they dont explane nothing.
How a dead man can enter in another dead people to live 8 minutes of his ending? And thw worst, not just the 8 ending moments of his life, but in other dimensions, making what he want to make?
If you enter in the dead mind to look his 8 minutes left, you will just look that moment, you will cant change, just see that!… Expand
Sep 27, 2013Good movie with an interesting storyline, nice cast. Do not know what else to say, definitely worth watching for everyone who likes movies with a slight touch of Sci-Fi or movies with amazing plots.
Sep 21, 2013Source Code has a simple premise, and mediocre execution. The story keeps jumping from this time to this to that and sometimes I was lost. As someone who sat through Inception and basically understood 85% of it, this movie really confused me. Not just because of the story, but how Jake Gyllenhaal agreed to sign on to this project.
Sep 19, 2013[3.9] Not only is it hard to sit through the same scene an hour and a half, but it doesn't help when that scene is accompanied by less than believable acting, lack of originality, and an incredibly formulaic story. Making a mystery story with out any suspense, and one that is completely predictable, is something I could care less for.
Jul 29, 2013I liked how 'blockbuster-action-big' this was at places, while remaining thoughtful. Very entertaining ride, with the same kind of twisty creativity that made Jones'-directed Moon a worthwhile sci fi-movie.
Jul 18, 2013Duncan Jones is showing he is one of the best sci-fi directors going today. Sure Source Code takes different elements from other films similar to his 2009 film Moon, but just like that film he adds a unique style that works perfectly. A
May 3, 2013unfortunately source code isn't an original story cause we all seen this before however Jake Gyllenhaal is a good actor and he did his part very well but the story is not convincing at all which made some acting scenes were out of place i blame the writer and the director for the fact that i didn't enjoy the movie at all.
Apr 2, 2013Duncan Jones directs a fast-paced and surprisingly thrilling film with Source Code, and could just be a hit with everyone.
Jake Gyllenhaal stars as who we believe to be Sean Fentress, who has awoken aboard a train going towards downtown Chicago, but he is does not remember how he got here in the first place.
We soon learn that he is not this train commuter at all, but he is actually a man locked up in a time-traveling mechanism that is inside the thoughts of another man...got that?
Basically we see him as Gyllenhaal, and he has all the memories of his actual self, Colter Stevens, but he actually appears to be this other guy to everyone else, and this is brilliantly done,through going back to the same position he was put in at the start of the film by the shady company who are using him to try and prevent a terrorist attack.
Michelle Monaghan also stars as the woman in the seat across from Colonel Stevens, someone he doesn't know but she of course is seeing Sean Fentress which makes for very interesting chemistry and at times quite humorous dialogue.
Gyllenhaal exceeds in his role as the double man form different realities, combining pulsating action with charm and sophistication, and carries the film exceptionally well for its attention-demanding plot.
My one very small complaint is perhaps the too-good-to-be-true ending, which was nice to see, but could easily have been flipped on its side and demanded more, while only a small complaint, I think it is still relevant considering the excellent story.
The ridiculousness of the plot can be overlooked in so many ways by simply enjoying the story going on in front of you, as Stevens begins to get the hang of his time jumping each time he fails and is put back in the same place, remembering occurrences that are about to happen.
But with a gripping turn in the story, its simply brilliant to sit back and watch the drama unfold in front of you, with plenty of interesting characters who all serve a purpose to Colonel Stevens mission.
The thrill ride of Source Code never stops and continuously takes many twists and turns that add up to one of the best films of the year, surprising, enjoyable and heaps of fun and that does put a unique rhythm on the idea of time travelling and consequences.… Expand
Mar 24, 2013Uninteresting and not very memorable, although in some scenes is exciting.
Mar 13, 2013Source Code took me by surprise. The premise of a bomb being planted somewhere and our hero having to capture the bad-guy made me expecting a sort of action movie la Die Hard but instead it offered this very deep psychological thriller that'll make you think. There is some excellent chemistry between the protagonist Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) and his counterpart Christina Warren (Michelle Monaghan) which makes sure that the inevitable romance doesn't look awkward. Colleen Goodwin (Vera Farmiga) does an excellent job as well, playing the devil's advocate. The twist at the ending is a bit of a braintwister and far too open to interpretation and the movie would have fared better off without it if you ask me. Because of this reason alone I can't give it a 10. This is one of the most captivating thrillers I have seen in my life.… Expand
Feb 22, 2013I love movies that make you think, and Source Code will do that, the problem is, that what you're thinking is probably what's going to happen. This film is a take on the TV show Quantum Leap, but instead of leaping until the issue is solved, the leaper only has 8 minutes to try and solve the problem. Jake Gyllenhaal stars and while I usually don't care for him much, he was excellent here. I have a feeling this character may have been written specifically for him, because he's got a strange style and seems to not fit many of his roles. Source Code is another film in a genre of endless possibilities, it tries really hard to stand out and be special, but sadly it's pretty predictable, while playing off other established material, such as Quantum Leap and The Matrix. It is an enjoyable film and one of Gyllenhaal's best performances that i've seen, but if you're into Science Fiction, the way that I am, you're not gonna have much trouble figuring this one out.… Expand
Feb 20, 2013Source code is one of the smarter and more original science fiction movies (It was directed by Duncan Jones who made Moon also worth checking out). I gave it 6 point because, while it is somewhat original, unfortunately can not avoid the usual Hollywood clichés, and becomes predictable. Worth checking out, but will not be remembered much...
Feb 16, 2013This is a very well made film with lots of attention to detail, everything fits and everything works pretty well. There are overtones of Groundhog Day (1993), in that a time period is repeated, but I found this one very different. Although not as good as 'Moon', IMO, I really liked this film and I'm glad I gave it a second look. It's nicely paced, there's a pretty good soundtrack, although it's quite subdued and at ninety three minutes, it's not too long. Over all, it's a well written, nicely paced piece of science fiction with quite a nice twist at the end. Comparisons have been made with 'Inception' but I'm not even going to go there, they are totally different. I didn't score it quite as highly as first time around because I felt it didn't have quite the impact it did on the big screen. Still a very enjoyable watch though.
SteelMonster's verdict: RECOMMENDED My score: 8.2/10.… Expand
Feb 6, 2013To be honest, I went into this movie not knowing a single thing at all about it. No trailers. No description. Nothing. All I knew was that it was meant to be some sort of Sci-Fi or thriller. It totally blew me away. While I did see the ending coming a mile away, it still went about it in a clever way. This is perhaps the only Jake Gyllenhaal movie I can remember liking both him and the movie at the same time. The acting is decent. The writing is clever (perhaps too clever at times,) and the premise is really interesting. Overall A movie that perhaps could have had a bit more time to tighten up a few minor plot holes, but I'm not sure how they would have done that without ruining it. I would really like to see this kind of movie being made again, just perhaps on a grander scale.… Expand
Jan 22, 2013Source Code is confusing on all levels which it makes it nearly impossible to stay interested in. The ending of the movie is so far-fetched for even movies that it becomes completely unrealistic.
Dec 7, 2012A really smart film. Unfortunately, it was also forgotten by many people, partly due its release date in Spring 2011; it came out in the weird months prior to blockbuster season. The repeating 8 minute scene never gets old as director Duncan Jones (Moon) proves he is a solid director in his second directorial effort.
Nov 28, 2012While it can't even spit in the proverbial direction of Jones' first classic "Moon," "Source Code" is still an interesting action film, making some hard-to-swallow subject matter actually comprehensible.
Nov 18, 2012This is one of the most exactly mediocre films I've seen. In terms of artistic merit it's actually Romantic fodder. The lead actors are good (Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan), the supporting actors are fair, the plot is unoriginal (as I saw another user review say), and the musical score makes me seasick. That said, it's a mainstream flick, what else can you expect. A good way to judge how good a drama is a lot of times is how good the few jokes are that are interspersed throughout a movie. The jokes were cheesy, which in my mind solidifies this movie as not good. I have to admit, there are some clever moments here and there; but they are few and far in between. There's simply no irony in any of the main plot points. No sarcasm. In my opinion good movies have a post-modern flair. Great or excellent movies are meta-modern. If Impressionism were a film movement, this wouldn't even be that. Not even proto-impressionism. Pure Romanticism. In other words, for people who have no idea what I'm talking about, this movie is neither bad nor good. I can't even say it's okay, because it plays it too safe. Keyword: Plain.… Expand
Nov 18, 2012Absolutely amazing movie ... I watched all movies of Duncan Jones ...Moon and Whistle (Short Film) are also wonderful ... I'm looking forward to watch the other project of Duncan Jones ...
Source Code is a formally disciplined work -- a triumph of movie syntax -- made with rhythm and pace. Jones, unlike most commercial directors, accelerates the tempo without producing visual gibberish. [11 April, 2011 p. 88]
Apr 6, 2011The psychological payoffs outweigh any implausibilities. And what's the harm in logging off your network for a few hours to indulge in some good old-fashioned science fiction?
It is a tremendous downer when the second half of the movie shirks logic, defies its own established principles and raises more questions than it answers.

Carmen Ridley's Consolidations Webinar – Notes SummaryThursday, November 6th, 2014
The following article is a summary of Carmen Ridley's Consolidations online webinar held on October 30, 2014. Carmen will be conducting another webinar for CaseWare Australia & New Zealand on how to "Avoid Common Mistakes in Financial Reports – Cut the Clutter, Tips & Traps" on November 27.
One of the key aspects of AASB 10 is the Definition of Control. To define whether an entity should be consolidated into the Financial Reports, the 3 components listed in AASB 10 must be satisfied. In regard to Not For Profits (NFPs), there is a guidance note which provides NFP examples for the definition of control which appears as AASB 2013-8 (and will eventually be included as an appendix within AASB 10).
Those 3 key components are:
- Power
- Rights
- Returns (For NFPs this can be related to social policy, even if it is not related to financial aspects, which can be quite hard to define and measure.)
De facto control is also another aspect required to be considered. A 50%+ shareholding is no longer the only relevant measure of entity control – aspects of major shareholders, plus voting rights and patterns may be a better indicator of the controlling entity. This aspect of control requires much more detailed examination AND on a yearly basis, than prior determinations.
AASB 12 which details Interests in Other Entities can be quite an onerous standard. The following should be considered and assessed (nb: not applicable for special pupose financials):
- named subsiduaries
- joint arrangements / ventures
- associations
- unconsolidated structed entities.
This group of Consolidation standards (AASB 10-12) requires continuous assesment, particularly in relation to control. If circumstances, shareholdings or management change even slightly, it may mean that control of the entity may be in a state of flux and needs to be rejustified annually.
Overall, these standards require significant judgements and assumptions. Interpretation of the standards is the key to getting the reporting requirements correct. Appropriate disclosures are obviously required and should be as helpful and explanatory as possible.
Carmen Ridley can be contacted directly via her email (email@example.com) for further assistance, explanation or application of the AASB standards.

AAA forecasts slight decline in Thanksgiving travel
Air and highway travel both expected to be down from last year.
Orlando Sentinel
Northwest travel guides
Even $3 a gallon gas likely won't be enough to get more motorists on the road for Thanksgiving this year.
Auto club AAA is forecasting that Thanksgiving travel will decline slightly from a year ago, with 43.4 million Americans expected to take a trip of 50 miles or more away from home. That's 1.5 percent shy of last Thanksgiving, when travel hit its highest level since the recession.
Air travel is expected to drop 3.7 percent, while the number of people driving is expected to fall 1.6 percent, AAA said.
The decline comes despite the fact that AAA says drivers can find gas stations selling gas for less than $3 a gallon in "the vast majority of states."
If you want to avoid the crowds, sit out Wednesday. That's expected to be the busiest single day for travel, with 37 percent of travelers departing for their trip on that day. The most popular day to return is Sunday, Dec. 1, AAA said.
If you're flying, here are some tips for a hassle-free flight:
• Get to the airport early and be at the gate 45 minutes before the scheduled departure.
• Avoid checked-bag fees and the wait at the luggage carousel by carrying on bags.
• Liquids larger than 3.4 ounces are not allowed through the security checkpoint, so wait until you clear TSA to buy water or other drinks.
• Don't bring homemade gooey stuff, such as cranberry sauce, which qualifies as a liquid to TSA. Also avoid wrapped gifts.
• Air travel experts at FareCompare.com recommend considering early boarding fees to escape the "airport madness" sooner, especially if traveling with children or seniors.
• Free blankets and pillows on flights, as well as full meals in domestic coach, are a thing of the past. Bring your own comfort items and food.
• Remember, you can now keep portable electronic devices turned on during takeoff and landing if your airline gives you the go-ahead.

6 Steps to Fitness Success
Exercise order and selection is also critical. As a general rule you always want to put the bigger, more complex movements in the beginning of the routine. These exercise are more difficult to perform and can take a lot out of you so you want to do them when you're fresh. Smaller, isolation type movements should be saved for later in the routine with core and ab-specific movements coming at the end. Big, multi-joint movements such as the Olympic lifts, deadlifts, squats, push presses, bench press, leg press, chin ups, dips and bent-over rows should come early in the program. Next you can work on your hamstring curls, leg extensions, biceps curls, skull crushers, calf raises and any other single-muscle moves. Finish off the routine with hanging knee raises, planks or anything else that focuses on the good ol' six pack.

War ProfiteerWe should just use all of our war savvy to sell all of our weapons to everybody, provided we can turn a quality profit. Just become the arms dealers of the world.. Funding for R&D will come back, lots of good technology for everything else will be a side affect, as such things tend to.. And we make the greenbacks. Except maybe those railguns and lasers, we're gonna keep those sumbitches and not let anyone else get anywhere close to those. I mean shit guys, lets be honest, the only real export the US has anymore is war and weapons, might as well take advantage of one of them to stay relevant.
The AR-15 is responsible for 95% of all deaths each year. The rest of the deaths are from obesity and drone strikes.
^ Well my primary argument against that is, America's military corporations are heavily subsidized and I don't think they would be anywhere near as relevant if they were not. They receive at least (from what I can tell in the US military budget) around 150 billion dollars that is just fun money. They don't even do anything to deserve it (like straight up arms purchases by the US government to give to other countries).
87 Radical Taoist, Sun, 20th Feb '11 11:43:03 AM from the #GUniverse
scratching at .8, just hopin'We can effect foreign policy by buying weapons as much as by selling them. I've heard arguments that we could drain the Taliban resistance in Afghanistan by going to their weapons suppliers and buying up their stock at prices the Taliban couldn't afford, at a lower cost than we're incurring trying to put down the insurgency by heavy-handed means. I'm not sure if the math pans out though.
88 Barkey, Sun, 20th Feb '11 11:48:27 AM from Bunker 051 Relationship Status: [TOP SECRET]
War Profiteer^ I'm more talking about them making an actual profit manufacturing for other countries, in addition to what we already do.
The AR-15 is responsible for 95% of all deaths each year. The rest of the deaths are from obesity and drone strikes.
The problem with that idea is that American weapons suck wind. Just for an example, look at our two newest air superiority platformsthe Raptor and JSFcompared to something roughly equivalent like the Typhoon. The Typhoon was a disastrously corrupt and overbudgeted project by English standards, yet it still amounted to a fraction of the Raptor's development, and individual jets are also far cheaper while performing perfectly well against them in wargames. The JSF, meanwhile has ballooned to previously inconceivable heights of graft and incompetence, teetering on cancellation after countless years in development with absolutely ridiculous unit costs. I don't know what, but something's got to be done about our defense industry before it would be truly competitive.
Pretending to be human^ Something being expensive compared to a cheaper alternative does not equate to it sucking. That said the F-35's ballooning costs is unfortunate. And whether or not it's worth canceling and use older proven aircraft or just finish it all the way is a debate by itself.
Well the Canadian government is in total denial about the F-35. It doesn't even have the range to patrol Canadian air space but they're going to single-source contract the fighter jets from Lockheed Martin (not that it matters, since nobody else can make it anyway) at costs that are basically ballooning before we even signed the contract. It's already estimated to be double the unit cost (going upwards to 200 million per unit with maintenance) with zero of the capabilities we need and the Chinese Su-27 flanker can potentially down it 1 on 1, and in the worst case scenario it is 4-1 (but at a unit cost of 27 million each, it basically can just swarm down the planes at like 8-1 anyway).

TransCorr National Logistics
TransCorr National Logistics Reviews
I worked at TransCorr National LogisticsPros
Very fast paced. Learn on the job and you learn very quickly. Company hires similar energetic people who can do the job and care about the company. I'd honestly recommend using them if someone asked me about freight brokers. The team is expected to get the job done and they always do.Cons
There is "The Club" where you're either "In" or your "Out" with the management team. It's not required to be a suck up to get in the club, but it will definitely help. One guy who not long ago transferred down to their Indianapolis office was a true ass kisser and it helped him get to the top very very quickly. It's also very easy to get kicked out of the club. One day you may see the group(that you used to be a part of) of managers and leaders heading into the conference room and suddenly you're on the outs. Oh and they hold a lot of meetings in there daily. Sometimes 4 or 5 a day. Really? Then everything has to be a secret after all of these meetings and only a select few are in the know even though everyone can see what is going on due to the way the office is setup.
From what I've seen on here, salaries have dropped considerably since I worked there. Not surprised one bit. My advice to those who go to work there: Get some experience, make a few friends, and move on. Otherwise, they'll move you on out in a matter of time. They're always looking for the weakest link.....ALWAYS!
Good luck arguing your side with the head honcho. If you don't agree with him then you're instantly on his bad list.Advice to ManagementAdvice

I worked at TransCorr National Logistics full-time (less than an year)Pros
The gym, the personal trainer, the fast paced work. Everyone seems to be young and right out of college. Challenging.Cons
Where do I begin? The first red flag I should have realized is when I wasn't allowed to use my real name there. About 90% of the employees are not called by their real first name. Not only that, the managers care so little about the employees that they don't bother to learn your real name. You are just a nickname that they give you.
Second red flag was the day I found someone stealing money from me (who was best friends with one of the managers) and when I went to the manager I was told "things like this happen, and you need to deal with it" And then I was later written up for "not being a team player". Oh I found out later that the guy stealing from me got promoted to manager also. Convenient.
Third is when I didn't get the raise I was told I would get. When I was hired on I was told when I would get a raise and the amount it would be. That day came, and I was promoted like I was told but "they just couldn't afford to give me the raise I was told". And a month later when I brought it up again I was told "if you don't like it then you don't have to work here" Great way to encourage empowerment and self worth.
Fourth is when I was no longer allowed to work out on my lunch break. MY LUNCH BREAK, I was allowed to leave and go eat, or I could stay and eat at my desk, I could go do backflips in the parking lot if I chose to, but I was not allowed to work out at the FREE GYM that was literally 30 feet from my desk that this company bought for the employees to work out. They also pay for a personal trainer.
Fifth is I was required to lie to customers on a daily basis. If we could find a customer that is willing to take less money to do the same work then we would just call the first guy and lie to him about how the freight isn't available anymore. Managers couldnt understand why I hated calling customers back and lying to them.
And the last thing, the company is big into charities, which is awesome. But, I signed up for a charity event sponsored by the company, and after being fired for "lying about what I do at work" I asked for my money back for the charity event because I did not want them to represent me, and they told me "No, what kind of person would want money back from a charity" It makes me wonder if the charity even got the money.
This company is 1 of 2 things. Either too large too fail and they will continue running a business that has no loyalty from its employees or customers. Or they will fail when they get too big and it will affect a lot of people in a negative way, and the owners wont even care.Advice to ManagementAdvice
It doesn't matter what advice is given here, they already know the best way to run a company, just ask them. It's a shame you guys don't have consideration for the employees that do all the work. Management is not the only one that should recieve perks.Doesn't RecommendNegative Outlook

Opportunity to travel and perform business to business sales.
Opportunity to make good money for 12-24 months in salesCons
Management constantly changes commission schedules. Managers tend to motivate by yelling and pointing out faults. Office has more than its share of "yes men". I did notice in my time there that management was more concerned with how they could dock my pay and take my customers from me than they were with helping me to grow. I made great money there due to spot market, but in the end I had to leave because having to deal with management daily outweighed the nearly six figure income I was on track to make (in the Michigan job market that is certainly saying a lot). Management pushes a "team" atmosphere, but the team is very quick to throw you under the bus at the drop of a dime.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Take note of all the great sales people that leave while making great money. It may be that the management style needs to change in order to keep the good sales people. The front door should not revolve as much as it does. I really enjoyed a lot of my time there, but the bad just outweighed the good.Doesn't Recommend

Management asks for input and even gives an award for the most creative idea submitted during the year. They improved the bonus structure so we make more money when we book loads. The more loads we book, the more money we can make per load. Also, you don't have to be in sales to have customers & make a little extra commission each month. I have a customer just because I answered the phone and helped someone with a rate. The more hats you wear, the better you'll do. Managers are out on the floor, involved in the atmosphere & helping wherever needed. The Ops contests & group outings are always fun, especially when we get to leave work early for a Tigers game!Cons
The new bonus structure is designed to pay a lot of money when we have a lot of freight. But when we're slow we can't make as much money either. It can get stressful when dealing with customers and missing loads, but that's the same as any job.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Keep finding ways to incent your employees to make more money. This is a fun place to work, especially when we are busy and making money! Keep teaching your team about the market & how to make money and stay profitable. I understand that we don't have a lot of freight, but at least we are making money and I have a job.

- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance

I have been working at TransCorr National LogisticsPros
I have been with the company for several years and there are too many to list, but I will try to cover the majority of them.
-the company has strong business ethics and morals in an industry where many do not
-there is great energy in the office and everyone works as a big team. If one person has to stay late to finish their work there are always volunteers that want to help out to get the job done sooner.
-a free gym available to all employees and their spouses. Many employees opt to use it during their lunch hour which helps refresh them to finish off the rest of the day strong.
-a free personal trainer for any employee interested
-free fitness classes including spin, yoga, kick boxing, P-90X and Zumba
-managers are very approachable for the most part and all sit in the middle of the action. You won't find a single manager slacking off and hiding away in a personal office
-employees often get sent to sporting events as a reward for their hard work
-big prizes and gift cards are given out every month through the purple ticket drawings.
-all employees are invented and bonused based on performance. Ops people get load coverage bonuses based on how many loads they cover each period. Sales are paid a base salary and comission based on their sales figures.
-TransCorr gives a lot of money back to the community every year through several charities. They sponsor grades for a local poverty stricken elementary school where they buy every kid Christmas gifts. They also sponsor local school sport teams
-it is not a senority based company, but rather a completely performance based one. A few of the managers made their way into management within 2 years through hard work and proven performance
-they only hire people with good attitudes who are also team players
It's obvious to me that many of the negative comments posted on this site are coming from disgruntled previous employees who couldn't cut it here. It's not that hard people. All you have to do is come in with a good attitude and give it all your effort. Too many people now days expect everything to be handed to them without earning it. If you are looking for a place to work where you expect to "get rich" fast and have things handed to you without proving yourself, then this is not the place for you. If you want to work for a highly energetic company in which you basically choose you own destiny through hard work and a good attitude, then TransCorr could be the perfect fit for you. Employees that truely want to make it here will and they will be rewarded for their efforts.Cons
The stress of dealing with truck drivers, dispatchers and the occasional upset customer can be too much for some to handle, but ifs really not that bad as long as you make light of it and know how to move on. Sometimes it can be a little frustrating because of all of the changes that constantly go on with our processes and setup, but the management group is a great team that only makes changes that will help the business grow.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Continue to make TransCorr such a good place to get your feet wet in the transportation industry or settle down and start your career. Never forget the people and things that got the company to where it is now and please continue to install strong business ethics/morals into everything you do.Recommends

I worked at TransCorr National LogisticsPros
-Outside of the owners or upper management, the staff is comprised of mostly good natured, hard working people who are fun to be around.
-A few local Charities and groups are given special attention each year.
-High employee turnover and repeated attempts to hire employees at such a low starting salary ensure that practically anyone qualifies for employment with no experience...which is a great short term fix for the immediate community in a down job market.
-If you can accept the trade off of all of the Cons listed below, there is a free gym with some decent programs like spin class and personal training.
-Sporting event and concert event tickets are given out from time to time.
-It's a job in a slightly down market.Cons
-Very long hours at a salary that is quite possibly the lowest entry salary in the business.
-Stated hours are from 7:30am to 5pm M-F with an hour for lunch, but in reality lunches are frowned upon unless you take 10 minutes to RUN, grab fast food and get it back to your desk as quickly as possible, and the end of the day is arbitrary depending on management and can be as late as 7pm. It takes the computers a long time to boot up and log in and the start time is "computers up and running" so you need to be there 15 minutes early or risk being punished by management if your computer is not up an running. Plus roughly every four weeks each operations employee is required to work a "late shift" of an extra hour M-TH and a Saturday morning from 8-noon. Late shift is rewarded with leaving on Friday at 3pm instead of 5pm, but if it's a busy day on Friday, employees who take their time off are frowned upon and looked at like traitors by upper management. Added together, the average employee puts in well over 50 hours per week with no additional incentives.
-Employees are treated as either an infinitely elastic resource and continually stretched to their breaking point, or as completely expendable. A common response by management, which I've experienced personally, when someone asks about the long hours, missing lunches or for a small annual raise to cover the cost of living increases is that all of the employees should consider themselves lucky to even have a job in this economy and if they don't like it they can leave and try to find something better.
-Employer retirement contribution to 401K is very limited.
-Rather than raise salaries or offer better benefits, management has opted to spend a significant amount of company money on what appear to be "splurge" purchases for the benefit of management.
-Management staff with very little to no management experience outside of Transcorr so they don't adapt quickly to industry changes, and are very defensive regarding employee questions and any form of constructive criticism. Questions regarding management rules or decisions, regardless of validity, are met with hostility or simply ignored in most cases.
-Very low upward mobility. Upper management is really just a term for anyone not stuck in operations and just about every move within the company is lateral. "promotions" such as "board leader", which basically means you are responsible for an assigned territory made up of a state or several states, don't receive any additional pay or incentives for the increased work.
-Management preaches the idea of a team atmosphere, but it's pointed more towards a "hive" method of thinking rather than teamwork. As long as everyone agrees with their boss and does their jobs exactly as directed, the team is working together great. If anyone disagrees or has an objective opinion or criticism, they are not "team players".
-Be prepared for a lot of negative reinforcement from management. Accomplishments are not always rewarded, but mistakes are always punished and usually publicly thrown in an employee's face.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Please realize that you are not simply part of the problems outlined here. Because employee opinions are unwelcome by management and free thinking is discouraged, you are the entire problem. Reward your employees in ways that are not passive aggressive or have a negative trade off involved. Accept constructive criticism and adapt as an actual team. If you're going to preach about a team atmosphere, learn what the term actually means. Employees want competitive compensation, an enjoyable working atmosphere and acknowledgement of their hard work, not spin class and occasional baseball tickets to mask the real issues.Doesn't Recommend

There are big windows that allow the sun in and also provide the option of jumping out of.... Also, if you don't mind walking on eggshells, you'll find some nice people doing the same. :)Cons
Management really starts and ends with 2 people who have become disconnected with real-time industry trends and expectations; there are no real game plans to address challenges. The rest of the "management team" are comprised of lackeys with no real industry experience outside of TransCorr. These individuals get most of their accounts (and money) from business brought in by people (like you) that are hired and fired on a continuous basis.
For newer employees, you will be paid a very low salary with expectations you cannot possibly meet. You will have no control of your accounts, you will not get any support from mgmt., you will be told constantly why they CAN'T do something, your freight will not get booked if they don't like you or for any childish reason, there are layers upon layers of unnecessary "procedure" to get the simple things done... the list goes on and on.
Eventually, you'll be let go because your numbers (which you have no control) are too low or they have come up with some other arbitrary reason.
ADVICE TO JOB SEEKERS: RUN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. YOU WANT CAREER OPTIONS, NOT A COMPLETE WASTE OF YOUR TIME AND TALENT.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Hang it up and close the doors. Earn your stripes in logistics - certain individuals there would benefit by re-starting their careers with a paper route... Seriously.Doesn't Recommend
