Thuet - WTF?
- k
- kellytoronto Apr 19, 2007 11:55 AM
Has anyone experienced terrible service at Thuet. I hadn't been before, and had some colleagues from NYC up for dinner, so decided to try it out. We sat down in a 1/2 empty restaurant, the waiter came over and described the tasting menu (which we told him we wanted + wine pairings) and he left.
We kept trying to flag people down to get us a drink or something(!) but had no luck. It looked like he was the only person serving, along with about 4 busboys. After 45 minutes, several glasses of water, and a slice of bread each, we got up and left - over to the Spoke for dinner (which, maybe because of my hunger, was the best meal I've had there - spring menu was really good.)
Is this sort of indifferent service typical there? I can't understand why a server would want to piss off a high-revenue table...
Sounds like a goofy approach to business. Maybe they think it's a world-class attitude they're affecting? Perhaps your server was an artist, focused on his career-making role (rather than a pro who takes pride in his job)? Hard to know these days.
Yes we have had some bad service at Thuet--more amaturish, than anything. For example we have had waitstaff not knowing what's in the food, food runners being incomprehensible when describing a dish and then some
It's really too bad because the food is quite good.
Yes, I've only been once (for brunch), but had services issues as well. After arriving exactly on time for my reservation, the hostess proceeded to ignore me for a full 10 minutes while I watched her run around, completely disorganized, in an empty restaurant. She was not friendly. Our female server had very little knowledge about the menu, and brought the wrong dish to someone at our table, without apologizing.
And like mikeb said, it is too bad since the food was really outstanding.
re: Splendid Wine Snob
I've been to Thuet for both dinner and brunch, and the service has been ok. I was there for a group dinner and they were quite accommodating. As for brunch, the food is always amazing and the service is fine and hasn't made me not want to return.
A while ago on another food board (which shall remain nameless!) people were commenting on how the food at Thuet was unspectacular at best and bland at worse and definitely not worth the high end price they were charging. Then Biana (Thuet's wife and restaurant owner) signed on and said all the posters were wrong and they didn't know what they were talking about. Her tone was very defensive and unkind even though all the other posters (and customers) were having similar issues with the restaurant's food and service.
Simply put, I don't think Marc and Biana care much what their customer think because they think they know better. That has resulted in the restaurant being more than half empty even on Fridays and Saturdays and then they changed it to a Bistro and added brunch but it looks like their attitude hasn't changed at all. It's really too bad because the restaurant opened with so much media attention and high expectations.
re: syoung
I recall the post on the other food site and I think it was not so much Biana saying everyone was wrong as she was trying to explain what went on behind the scenes. I thought she wrote well and admired her for her courage to post her feelings. That being said, there is no excuse for a server to be alone in a dining room in ANY restaurant, but sadly it seems to happen frequently in this city. Bad service is all over the place, but you can't always blame the worker . A server working alone is not responsible for the bad service, that is the responsibility of the management. Having a very brief stint as a server under my belt I could think of nothing worse than 40 people all needind(wanting) my attention at the same time. That's what waiter dreams are made of. If you had ever tasted Marcs food ( or met the man) you can tell thet he truely cares about pleasing people and loves food. It seems most people here are complaining about the service at Thuet and not the food, luckily that should be easy to fix now that word is out.
re: phisherking
^^I am in agreeance here- no excuses-ie if you have too many students, then hire some non- students. (unless they are in short supply for whatever reason-??_)
I have yet to visit Theut, but I am still adamant about doing so, as after witnessing the trials & tribulations on Food Tv's "openingsoon" I really am intrigued...
I was there last summer and the service was great at the beginning (my server took drink and meal orders promptly, knew the menu, and had good advice on what to order), fine for most of the meal, and lagged a bit at the end, when it seemed to take a long time to get dessert and then the bill. However, even then at least service was proper (bill came after dessert). I was dining alone.
I don't remember the details of what I ate, but remember that the food was good to very good, but not spectacular. I had been looking for a place to eat a relaxing meal after a long flight fairly late in the evening (around 9:30 or ten pm), located near my hotel, and for that it filled the bill.
I have eaten dinner there a half dozen times in the last year, and have had capable, attentive service. One time, the hostess remembered not only us but the couple who were our guests the last visit. I enjoyed the food, and had one truly memorable game tasting menu there. I've made many trips to France... while not formal, Thuet is authentic and enjoyable. PS If you are not getting your drinks, go up to the bar and tell the bar manager. They care more than the hostess.
re: duchesse
I've also made many trips to France, and prefer less formal spots. However, I'm used to not being ignored, and don't really feel like I should need to get up and walk to re-order my drinks. I'm not at a $10 pub, so don't want pub service.
re: kellytoronto
It is such a shame to read about Thuet's service issues, however it seems to be a common complaint all over the city. I haven't been to Thuet in a while (I'm trying to get the most out of my Spoke Club membership as there is little else to go there for but to eat and drink and rub shoulders with the wannabes) but I do remember the food and service being exceptional.
re: trevorstreet
Perhaps I'm being overly sensitive this morning, it is a Wednesday afterall, but what do you mean by "the wannabes"? are you suggesting that you are a "someone" and everyone else there is a wannabe? What is a wannabe? I am a member, and I have a legitimate connection to media and/or arts as per the requirements. Am I a "wannabe"?
While I agree that the Spoke Club is primarily a dinner club, there are some other things there. their Wine Clubs are excellent for instance.
As for Thuet (bring this back in line with the thread) I have to agree with the service being a little cold and slow.
re: dgrayca
Service at Thuet needs a complete overhaul. Hire some people that know the meaning of customer service and take pride in their work and know something about the food being served. I still go to Thuet on occasion but not as often as I would if the service was better
Thanks for the heads up on Thuet.
Also, I'm with you that when you're spending that much on a meal, having to leave your table for any reason other then going to the loo is unacceptable--if I wanted DIY, I'd stay at home! ETA: to clarify, I'd leave too, and go somewhere else that deserves my business.
It's not about high/low revenue tables. I've been there twice about a year ago, and it remains one of the best in Toronto. Service could be a little slow in peak hours, but like you said, it's not always packed. Brunch could be a little slow as well. But trust me the food is absolutely worth it. (By the way, the guy at the bakery is super-nice. He'll tell you what's good, and in the most honest way, and not so good... )Fantastic service on that part!
re: Homecookwil
But if it's not so good AND he knows it then why are they selling it in the first place, is my question.
I went to Thuet for my staff Christmas party on Friday and didn't even get to eat. I can't comment entirely on the organization of the party but I have been led to believe that the original table set up discussed wasn't done and the room wasn't ready when the party organizer arrived. From my perspective, as a guest, it was bad slow service from the beginning. I arrived before 7 (the time planned for the meal) and managed, after a time, to get a glass of wine. I nursed that for well over an hour until we were seated after 8 pm. Granted we had a late arrival that held everything up but the time to order was terribly long form the time he arrived, we had to ask for wine to be served, we had to hound the staff to fill the water glasses and the food didn't arrive until after 9. By that point I was in a hypoglycemic melt down and actually had to leave.
We heard that the Chef has a policy of not starting the next course until everyone had finished the previous one. Thank goodness I left as I would have been close to a coma if I had to wait that long for dinner.
A staff member made a telling comment when I asked what the problem was. She said that "they always do that, they overbook and then can't handle it". Perhaps if the restaurant was empty they could get a meal out.
re: smh2007
My in-laws went last week and endured exactly what smh described, service-wise. Their tastes tend to the conservative but they usually don't shy from "different." Simply put, they loathed the service and food.My Brit father-in-law termed it "hi-end stodge." Thuet doesn't look like a long-run resto.
re: smh2007
re: smh2007
I can't speak to whether or not the room was overbooked as you haven't really said whether the room was full or not.
I will say, though, that in my experience with many 'party planners' they have a tendency of changing everything at the last possible moment and then wonder why chaos ensues.
Not a defense for receiving poor service as service providers have to be able to respond to such things and really should just expect it. It would be mitigating if true, though.
re: Googs
Bring on the mitigating circumstances, Googs! I'd like to "like" Thuet but a few too many friends and family willing and able to foot the bill have been put off by the show. Both he and his frau seem to rely often on bombast and BS to cover service and kitchen shortfalls. Fun's fun but no one wants a roller coaster ride every time their butt hits the chair.
re: Kagemusha
I have several issues with Thuet myself. Bombast is a very nice way to put it. In the specific case of smh, there may have been circumstances beyond their control. I've had far too many situations where the planner is not so planny, walks into the room minutes before doors, then attempts to change everything. Playing beat the clock isn't fun.
re: Googs
Having been on the other side of the party planner treatment (I am an ex industry worker as well), I can agree to a point. However, having to hound service staff to get drinks and refill water, especially if the kitchen is lagging behind?
Plus a good server in a professional environment should be able to tell if someone is having difficulties and have a clue about how to do something about it. My SO is diabetic and is required to eat on a fairly strict schedule to keep his blood sugar regulated. When a waitress at an Outback Steakhouse (I know, I know) knows enough to recognize that there is a health issue and brought him a regular coke and some bread to eat without being asked as the restaurant was swamped, understaffed and the kitchen was way behind...
re: Mike from Hamilton
Oh, so now servers are supposed to be health professionals as well?
I wouldn't know a diabetic's needs from a hole-in-the wall, nor would I expect any server to know either. I think the issue here is Thuet and their lack of staff. Perhaps they've got a hard time keeping good staff.
That would explain why the few people who ARE there have a difficult time keeping up with things. A place like Thuet, that charges as much as they do for everything (their wine mark-ups are not exactly friendly to the wallet either), should have well-trained, professional staff who are given the tools that they need to serve the guests properly. I've been lucky there I guess. Our servers were there when we needed them to be, gone when we wanted them to be, and we had a great time.
re: ostracario
What I was saying is that if someone actually brings up to a staffer that they are diabetic and having a low blood sugar issue...bring them something with carbs to eat/drink! Or heck, at least ask them if there's anything you can do...especially at the prices Thuet is charging.
I have been to Thuet three times. The first time, notwithstanding the reservation, the restaurant did not have a table for us and in fact it would be quite some time until we got the table. Granted, it was Sunday brunch, but still. After we got the table the service was fine. Second time was dinner and to confess the quality of the service did not stick out either way. Third time was lunch -- a late late lunch where the place was completely empty. Notwithstanding that, the service was non-existent. Had to go to the bar several times to have people speak to us.
I am a fan of Alsatian wine with Gewurtztraminer being my favourite and 2 years ago a friend and I went to Thuet to celebrate my birthday. I had been eagerly awaiting this dinner. Unfortunately, it was the one of the worst dining experiences of my life. We did not wait to be seated but service was slow. The place was half empty but there was a table of about 6 who came in after us who seemed to be getting more attention and swifter service. There was no Alstian Gewurtztrminer on the list of wines by the glass...this in a restaurant where the Chef claims he wants to highlight Alsace, his home. The waitress did not offer to open a bottle so I had to order the Cremant D'Alsace to get any Alstian wine by the glass. My friend ( who had spent 11 years...6 months a year living in Antibes ) ordered the tasting menu...I was hesitant about some of the things on the menu so luckily I opted to go a la carte. Our 3 rd course was definitley not warm and the plates were cold... we realized then that the previous 2 courses which had also been lukewarm probably should have been warm as well. We complained. We received a glass of icewine each as an appeasement. But when my friend decided she couldn't eat the pig trotters that were on her tasting menu....to make a long story short...we had a discussion with Chef Marc who got into an out and out fight about classical French cuisine with my friend and who didn't want to believe that I couldn't get a glass of Alsatian Gewurtztraminer in his restaraunt by the glass and asked why I didn't ask the waitress to open a bottle for me as if I should have known to do this because he can always use the Gewurtztraminer in his cooking..to which I replied I she didn't offer and I didn't know I could make such demands.Then he wanted to know why we hadn't complained earlier when the first few courses were not warm. His wife came over to aplogize for the bar, saying she had been in the back doing the books and that this particular waitress was new. I was offered a glass of Gewuztraminer which I deciined as I told them that I had a limit to the amount I could drink and wouldn't even be drinking the icewine that they had offered...and that perhaps they need to realize that people that have to drive themselves home can only drink so much wine...which is why it is even more imprtant that they be able to drink what they actually want to drink. We finally got our desserts ( the first ones that came were not ours ) and when the bill came I didn't know if they didn't charge us for wine and desserts because they had yet made another mistake or whether this was their offer of an apology for such bad service as they did not mention anything to us....So I had to ask them about the lack of charges as uncomfortable as it was... because I did not want to take advantage of them if they were not making us a peace offering.
I still love Alsatian wine but I am very hesitant to go back. to Thuet..even not paying for the desserts and the wine it was an expensive evening and I am not sure I want to go through something like that again. When you realize that dinner at The French Laundry is $225 each for the dinner and $95 each for the wines and it is a wonderful experience...it makes you wonder. I do get their emails and some of the events look interesting but...I think the only way I would go back is if I were offered a free dinner.
re: lkomar
Curiosity makes me ask whether the charges were not on the bill because of a peace offering or a mistake.
re: Pincus
i suspect peace offering.
"even not paying for the desserts and the wine it was an expensive evening"
I went to Thuet last year for Winterlicious and had a waiter whose incompetence was frightening. My friend order a bottle of Cabarnet Sauvignon - he brought a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc - when my friend commented that she ordered red wine he remarked something along the lines of "it's a Sauvignon, same difference really". If a waiter at East Side Marios made a comment like that I might just laugh, but in a place like Thuet? But the Alsatian Beef Bourguignon was so good I have been dreaming of it ever since - so at least there was something good about the experience. My friend emailed and got a response from Bianca, basically saying the waiter was new and he is no longer employed there.
The renewal of this thread has prompted me to add further commentary.
If a restaurant has difficulty keeping competent staff, this speaks volumes about upper management/ownership. This rings true for any business for that matter. Why can't Thuet keep good staff? More specifically, why are they constantly dogged by poor reviews regarding their service? As difficult as it may be to one's ego, an owner/manager must continually question management approach/ability. This becomes particularly important when high turnovers in staff become the norm. It is for this reason, as well as bad service experiences, that I avoid Thuet despite my feeling that he can turn out some incredible dishes.
re: Splendid Wine Snob
I was thinking the exact same thing, SWS. That and would it kill them to equip themselves with some wireless comm so they can coordinate their staff?
I'm not sure this is going to mean much in the onslaught of negative opinion (and it soudns liek deservedly so), but I've been once, during Summerlicious no less, the room was very busy, and the service was professional, friendly and impeccable...much better than a snooty visit to Susur earlier that year...but it sounds like a lot of these "celebrity" chefs are just really horrific to work for.

Mobile applications and mobile websites have become a major channel for conducting business, improving employee efficiency, communicating, and reaching consumers. In the past, mobile played a smaller role in business applications, so performance issues and outages were less of a concern. This is no longer the case. Today, performance problems with mobile applications lead directly to revenue loss, brand damage, and diminished employee productivity. Part I of this article discusses the differences between testing traditional web and mobile applications, specific challenges associated with mobile load testing, mobile testing basics and best practices for recording mobile load test scenarios. In Part II, we will look at how to conduct realistic tests and how to best analyze the results.
Application developers have long understood the need for load testing conventional desktop web applications to ensure that they will behave properly under load with the expected number of users. With the advent of mobile apps and mobile websites the principles of load testing have not changed. There are, however, challenges specific to mobile load testing that must be addressed by your load testing solution.
Since mobile apps and applications for desktop web browsers use the same underlying technologies, the good news is that most load testing tasks and challenges are the same. This means that you don't necessarily need a brand new, mobile-specific load testing tool, but you do need a quality web load testing tool capable of handling the nuances of load testing mobile apps. Using a tool that enables testing of traditional and mobile web applications enables you to leverage existing in-house skills for designing and parameterizing your scripts, running your tests, and analyzing the results.
Aside from the similarities between traditional and mobile load testing, there are three key differences:
- Simulating network and bandwidth for wireless protocols: With 3G wireless protocols, mobile devices typically connect to the Internet using a slower, lower quality connection than desktops and laptops. This has an effect on response times on the client side and on the server, which you'll need to account for as you define your tests and analyze your results. Additionally, latency and packet loss becomes more of a factor with mobile applications and needs to be considered.
- Recording on mobile devices: Obviously, mobile apps run on mobile devices, and this can make it difficult to record test scenarios, particularly for secured applications that use HTTPS.
- Supporting a wide range of devices: The many different kinds of mobile devices on the market have led web application designers to tailor content based on the capabilities of the client's platform. This presents challenges for recording and playing back test scenarios.
Mobile Load Testing Basics
As you may know, a typical automated functional test for a mobile application emulates user actions (including tap, swipe, zoom, and entering text) on a real device or an emulator. The objective of load testing, however, is not to test the functionality of the application for just a single user. Rather, the goal is to see how the server infrastructure performs when handling requests from a large number of users, and to understand how response times are affected by other users interacting with the application.
An effective load test simulates a high volume of simultaneous users accessing your server via your application. Using real devices or emulators for this task is impractical because it demands acquiring, configuring, and synchronizing hundreds or thousands of real devices or machines running emulators.
The solution, of course, is to use a load testing approach that is designed to scale as needed. With a client-based approach, user actions in the browser or the native application are recorded and played back. In contrast, a protocol-based approach involves recording and reproducing the network traffic between the device and the server. To verify performance under large loads, tools that enable protocol-based testing are superior to those that support only client-based testing because they can scale up to millions of users while checking errors and response times for each user.
The basic process for protocol-based mobile load testing is:
- Record the network traffic between the device and the server
- Replay the network requests for a large number of virtual users
- Analyze the results
It appears straightforward, but there are challenges at every step. The good news is that these challenges can be addressed with an effective load testing approach.
Recording Mobile Load Testing Scenarios
To generate a mobile test scenario, you first need to identify the type of mobile application under test. Challenges associated with capturing the data exchanges between a mobile application and the server depend on the design of the application:
- Native apps - These apps are coded using a programming language (Objective-C for iOS, Java for Android) and API that is specific to the device. As such, they are tied to a mobile platform and are installed from an online store or market.
- Hybrid Apps - A web app embedded in a native app is known as a hybrid app. The native part of the application is limited to a few user interface elements like the menu or navigation buttons, and functions such as automatic login. The main content is displayed in an embedded web browser component. The Facebook application, installed from an online store or a market is a typical sample.
Recording Tests for Native Apps
Because native apps run on your device or within an emulator, to record a test you need to intercept the network traffic coming from the real device or the emulator.
To intercept this traffic, the equipment that records the traffic must be connected to the same network as the device. When the recording computer is on the intranet behind a firewall, it is not possible to record a mobile device connected via a 3G or 4G wireless network. The device and the computer running the recorder must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Most load testing tools provide a proxy based recorder, which is the easiest way to record an application's network traffic. To use this approach, you need to configure the mobile device's Wi-Fi settings so that the traffic goes through the recording proxy. Some mobile operating systems, such as iOS and Android 4, support making this change, but older versions of Android may not. Moreover, some applications connect directly to the server regardless of the proxy settings of the operating system. In either of these cases, you need a tool that provides an alternative to proxy-based recording methods based on network capture or tunneling.
Note: You can use the following simple test to check if the application can be recorded using a proxy. First, configure the proxy settings on the device and record your interactions with any website in a mobile browser. Then, try to record interactions in the native application. If your testing tool successfully records the browser generated traffic, but does not record traffic generated by the native application then you can conclude that the native application is bypassing the proxy settings and that an alternative recording method is required.
Recording Tests for Web Apps and Mobile Version of Websites
Web apps use the same web technologies as modern desktop browsers. As a result, you can record the application or the mobile version of a website from a modern browser on your regular desktop computer, which is an easier and faster alternative to recording from the device.
Many web applications check the browser and platform used to access them. This enables the application, when accessed from a mobile device, to redirect to a mobile version of the content that may contain less text or fewer images. To test such an app from the desktop, you need to modify the requests to make them appear to the server to be coming from a mobile device. Otherwise, you will not be testing the mobile version of the application as the server may redirect to a desktop version. Some browser plugins provide the ability to alter the identity of the browser (by modifying the User-Agent header of requests). Support for this feature is also directly integrated in the recorder of advanced load testing tools.
Modifying the browser's identity is not always enough. You obviously cannot use this approach to transform Internet Explorer 6 into an HTML5 compatible browser. The browser you use on the desktop must be able to parse and render content created for mobile browsers, so it's best to record with a modern browser like Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 5, Chrome 15, or Safari 5 (or a more recent version of any of these if available). If the application includes WebKit specific features, you should use a WebKit based desktop browser, preferably either Chrome or Safari.
Recording Tests for Hybrid Apps
Obviously, tests for native apps cannot be recorded using a desktop browser. However, tests for many hybrid apps can. You may be able to directly access the URL used for the application, for example http://m.facebook.com for the Facebook application, and record your tests as you would for a classic web app.
Recording Tests for Secured Native Applications
There are additional challenges to consider when recording tests for a secured native application, that is, an application that uses HTTPS for the login procedure or any other processing.
By default, all HTTPS recording methods, whether proxy or tunnel based, are seen as man-in-the-middle attacks by the device. This raises a non-blocking alert in a desktop or mobile browser but it leads to an outright connection refusal in native applications, making it impossible to record the secured traffic.
The only way to record tests for secured native applications is to provide a root certificate that authorizes the connection with the proxy or tunnel. While this feature is currently supported by relatively few load testing solutions, it is essential for load testing any native application that relies on HTTPS.
Note: The root certificate must be installed on the device. This operation is simple for iOS devices; you can simply send the certificate via email and open the attachment on the device. For other platforms, including Android, the procedure is not as straightforward and may depend on the version of the operating system and the manufacturer of the device.
Running Realistic Tests
Once you've recorded a test scenario, you need to be parameterize it so that it can emulate users with different identities and behaviors as it is played back to produce a realistic load on the server. This step is required for traditional and mobile web applications, and the tools used to complete it are the same. When playing back the test scenarios, however, there are several challenges specific to mobile load testing and we will discuss this more in Part II of this article on "Best Practices for Load Testing Mobile Applications."

PORTLAND, Ore. — TriMet is looking into an incident involving a bus driver forcing a mother and her four children off a bus in the rain earlier this month, KGW News Channel 8 Portland reported. According to a 911 dispatch log obtained by KGW, the incident started as a dispute over an expired fare. However, even after the passenger paid the correct fare amount the driver still ordered the woman and her children off the bus "because she was already four minutes late and did not want people crying on the bus." The bus driver has been placed on paid leave during the investigation. For the full story, click here. For additional reporting from KATU on this story, click here.

Kanye West Explodes at Paparazzi: Shut the Eff Up! It's 4 A.M.!by Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
Another day, another instance of Kanye West exploding at a member of the paparazzi.
But we can't say we blame the rapper this time around.
In footage posted by TMZ, we see a "reporter" approach Kanye on the rapper's driveway at 4 a.m. today, asking him about his Twitter rant against Jimmy Kimmel.
How's it going, the supposed journalist asks, only for West to tell him (repeatedly) to "shut the f--k up" as well as offer this logical reply:
"You out in front of my house at 4 a.m. asking 'How's it going?'"
"It's 4 a.m.! How do you think it's going?!?"
When the paparazzo refused to shut up, West lunged at him, but held himself back to ensure the rapper's latest blow-up did not turn violent.
Instead, Kanye simply referred to him angrily as a "blood-sucking mosquito bully" and asked why he can't find a more respectful profession.
It also looks like Kim Kardashian was present during the incident, with reports indicating that the couple was leaving for a flight to Paris.
Kanye, of course, is being sued for another paparazzi confrontation from earlier this summer, but has gone on record and said he responded in self-defense.
TMZ first posted the above video from X17 Online.
UPDATE: Kanye reportedly wants to press charges against the cameraman for trespassing on his property, which it certainly looks like he was.
Kanye is just a porch monkey out of control. Back on the porch Kanye and take your fat ass Armenian whore with you. Anyone that black and that ugly should not have their pic taken.
If you are up and driving, what is the big deal? Keep normal hours then, or live a private life. Those jerks made his baby mama rich and famous, buy them muffins. Act like a jerk, they are really going to hound you. Pass out CD's and muffins, the photos will be worthless after once or twice. Smile and wave, don't wave a fist and yell.
All rappers are, is a derelict group who steals lyrics from years ago and slaps it together and calls it a song. There is not a damn thing original in any of it. Anyone who calls Kanye West a musical genius is out of there damn mind. What has he created from a clean sheet of paper- NOT DICK! This music starved society thinks he is some sort of Elvis or Stevie Wonder. Scared to stand up? That MF'er needs to keep cameras on him in order to keep someone from kicking his ass! He couldn't stand up to shit. He's not much more than a jive ass thug who BY THE WAY allowed the pop to make him know and now he want privacy!
You are the asshole. Rappers do not force anyone to listen to their music. Whether or not he's a rapper, he is still entitled to the rights given to any other human. If a stranger was present on your or my property at 4 am, he/she would be in jail for trespassing as should be the case here. So for you to comment on what Kanye does for a living instead of the big picture makes you a prick. It's people like you that twist human rights to suit your situation. The reason "you people" hate him is because he is not scared to stand up to your kind. #kanyestandupforhisright
They should leave him alone especially at 4:00am who wouldn't go off. It's ashame that Kim and him can't even go out of their door and some dummy asking stupid question....
I can't say I blame him for this one. And it's like every day he is blasting some pap. Seems to me they are now instigating this man on purpose. Just to get a good story. I in no way like kanye, I don't like his music, or his attitude, but no-one needs to be stalked and provoked for a good story.
Kanye West is a trouble making rapper who don't know how to walk away from dum bullshit like that.
In response to Mark Zerkle: Rappers are entertainers not roll models,if u can't control what your kids listen to or watch on tv don't blame the artist blame yourself and about someone rolling up on you, YEA RIGHT!
I am under the assumption this country had invasion of privacy laws shouldn't popping up at a mans house @4 am apply? If a person did that to me I would have given him the business we do have the right to protect our home don't we?
Did he really ask "why don't you find a respectable profession"? Rappers are among the scummiest, least responsible, absolutely WORST examples for our kids possible. You're an asshole Kanye. If you ever rolled up on me like that for any reason, you would be one sorry little bastard.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, was enacted on July 21, 2010. Provisions of the Act address many issues including, but not limited to, capital, interchange fees, compliance and risk management, debit card overdraft fees, the establishment of a new consumer regulator, healthcare, incentive compensation, expanded disclosures and corporate governance. While many of the new regulations under the Act are expected to primarily impact financial institutions with assets greater than $10 billion, the Company expects these new regulations could reduce revenues and increase expenses in the future. Management is currently assessing the impact of the Act and of the regulations anticipated to be promulgated under the Act.
The Company has described under the caption Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and in other reports filed with the SEC from time to time, additional factors that could cause actual results to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Other factors that have not been identified in this report could also have this effect. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, which speak only as of the date they were made.
Through the branch network of its subsidiary bank, the Company, with $1.1 billion in assets at September 30, 2013, provides a broad range of commercial and personal banking services, including certificates of deposit, individual retirement and other time deposit accounts, checking and other demand deposit accounts, interest checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts. The Company also provides a wide range of lending services, including real estate, commercial, installment, and other consumer loans. Other financial services that the Company provides include automated teller machines, trust services, credit-related insurance, and safe-deposit boxes. The geographic areas in which the Company provides products and services include the communities in and surrounding Jefferson City, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, Branson and Lee's Summit, Missouri.
The Company's primary source of revenue is net interest income derived primarily from lending and deposit taking activities. A secondary source of revenue is investment income. The Company also derives income from trust, brokerage, credit card and mortgage banking activities and service charge income.
Much of the Company's business is commercial, commercial real estate development, and mortgage lending. The Company has experienced soft loan demand in the communities within which we operate during the current economic slowdown. The Company's income from mortgage brokerage activities is directly dependent on mortgage rates and the level of home purchases and refinancings.
The success of the Company's growth strategy depends primarily on the ability of the banking subsidiary to generate an increasing level of loans and deposits at acceptable risk levels and on acceptable terms without significant increases in non-interest expenses relative to revenues generated. The Company's financial performance also depends, in part, on the ability to manage various portfolios and to successfully introduce additional financial products and services by expanding new and existing customer relationships, utilizing improved technology, and enhancing customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the success of the Company's growth strategy depends on the ability to maintain sufficient regulatory capital levels during periods in which general economic conditions are unfavorable and despite economic conditions being beyond its control.
Hawthorn Bank (the Bank), the Company's subsidiary bank, is a full-service bank conducting a general banking business, offering its customers checking and savings accounts, debit cards, certificates of deposit, safety deposit boxes and a wide range of lending services, including commercial and industrial loans, residential real estate loans, single payment personal loans, installment loans and credit card accounts. In addition, the Bank provides trust services.
The deposit accounts of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to the extent provided by law. The operations of the Bank are supervised and regulated by the FDIC and the Missouri Division of Finance. Periodic examinations of the Bank are conducted by representatives of the FDIC and the Missouri Division of Finance. Such regulations, supervision and examinations are principally for the benefit of depositors, rather than for the benefit of shareholders. The Company is subject to supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Board.
The following accounting policies are considered most critical to the understanding of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. These critical accounting policies require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Because these estimates and judgments are based on current circumstances, they may change over time or prove to be inaccurate based on actual experiences. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of a materially different financial condition and/or results of operations could reasonably be expected. The impact and any associated risks related to the critical accounting policies on the business operations are discussed throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, where such policies affect the reported and expected financial results.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Management has identified the accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses as critical to the understanding of the Company's results of operations, since the application of this policy requires significant management assumptions and estimates that could result in materially different amounts to be reported if conditions or underlying circumstances were to change. Further discussion of the methodology used in establishing the allowance and the impact of any associated risks related to these policies on the business operations is provided in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements and is also discussed in the Lending and Credit Management section below. Many of the loans are deemed collateral dependent for purposes of the measurement of the impairment loss, thus the fair value of the underlying collateral and sensitivity of such fair values due to changing market conditions, supply and demand, condition of the collateral and other factors can be volatile over periods of time. Such volatility can have an impact on the financial performance of the Company.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset / liability method by recognizing the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current period and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in addressing the Company's future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns such as realization of the effects of temporary differences, net operating loss carry forwards and changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. A valuation allowance is established when in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become realizable. In this case, the Company would adjust the recorded value of the deferred tax asset, which would result in a direct charge to income tax expense in the period that the determination was made. Likewise, the Company would reverse the valuation allowance when it is expected to realize the deferred tax asset. In addition, the Company is subject to the continuous examination of its tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. The Company accrues for penalties and interest related to income taxes in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has not recognized any tax liabilities or any interest or penalties in income tax expense related to uncertain tax positions.
Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets
Other real estate owned and repossessed assets consist of loan collateral that has been repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is comprised of commercial and residential real estate and other non-real estate property, including autos, manufactured homes, and construction equipment. Other real estate owned assets are initially recorded as held for sale at the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Any adjustment is recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses. The Company relies on external appraisals and assessment of property values by internal staff. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgment based on experience and expertise of internal specialists. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. The write-downs are recorded as other real estate expense. The Company establishes a valuation allowance related to other real estate owned on an asset-by-asset basis. The valuation allowance is created during the holding period when the fair value less cost to sell is lower than the cost of the property.
The following table presents selected consolidated financial information for the Company as of and for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The selected consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the accompanying notes, presented elsewhere herein.

Consolidated net income of $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 increased $3.1 million compared to a consolidated net loss of $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Net income available to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $1.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $1.9 million, or $(0.37) per diluted common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the return on average assets was 0.54%, the return on average common stockholders' equity was 8.68%, and the efficiency ratio was 80.99%.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, consolidated net income was $3.2 million compared to $619,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net income available to common shareholders was $2.6 million, or $0.52 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $862,000, or $(0.17) per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The lower level of dividends and accretion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulted from the Company's redemption of the remaining 18,255 shares of preferred stock issued under the U.S. Treasury's CPP program on May 15, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the return on average assets was 0.37%, the return on average common stockholders' equity was 4.79%, and the efficiency ratio was 82.18%.
Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased 2.6% to $10.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to $10.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net interest income decreased 5.5% to $29.8 million compared to $31.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These decreases were primarily a result of a decrease in the net interest margin due to a decrease in the Company's average earning assets partially offset by a decrease in average cost of deposits. The net interest margin decreased to 3.74% and 3.68% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 respectively, compared to 3.80% and 3.85% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
The lower provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily a result of the improving credit quality in the Company's historical loss analysis and reduced levels of nonperforming loans. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30,
2013, were $1.1 million, or 0.17% of average loans compared to $3.1 million, or 0.37% of average loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, were $2.6 million, or 0.40% of average loans compared to $4.8 million, or 0.57% of average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Non-performing assets were 4.67% of total assets at September 30, 2013 compared to 5.33% at December 31, 2012, and 5.82% at September 30, 2012.
Noninterest income decreased $233,000, or 8.7%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and increased $1.4 million, or 20.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These changes are discussed in greater detail below under Noninterest Income.
Noninterest expense decreased $406,000, or 3.9 percent, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, and increased $1.2 million, or 4.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These increases are discussed in greater detail below under Noninterest Expense.
Business Events
On June 11, 2013 the common stock warrant issued under the U.S Treasury Department's CPP program was repurchased by the Company pursuant to a letter agreement between the Treasury and the Company for a total repurchase price of $540,000, or $1.88 per warrant share. The repurchase price was based on the fair market value of the warrant as agreed upon by the Company and the Treasury. The repurchase of the warrant ends the Company's participation in the U.S Treasury Department's CPP.
On July 1, 2013, the Company distributed a four percent stock dividend for the fifth consecutive year to common shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2013. For all periods presented, share information, including basic and diluted earnings per share, has been adjusted retroactively to reflect the stock dividend.
Average Balance Sheets
Net interest income is the largest source of revenue resulting from the Company's lending, investing, borrowing, and deposit gathering activities. It is affected by both changes in the level of interest rates and changes in the amounts and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The following table presents average balance sheets, net interest income, average yields of earning assets, average costs of interest bearing liabilities, net interest spread and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis for each of the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

Mahón is a semi-firm cows milk cheese from the Spanish island of Menorca. The flavor profile and consistency depends on not only the producer's specific recipe but also their preferred age profile. As Mahón ages, it loses moisture and the flavors become concentrated. A young Mahón from a larger producer tends to have a uniform semi-firm texture inside a bright orange rind. It has milder flavors with hints of the salt and hay that develop more intensity as it ages. The Mahón we carry (and the one we prefer) is from a smaller producer and has a flakier, though still creamy texture and a more distinct farminess that balances perfectly with the flavors of salt (imagine pasture near sea spray buffeted coastline!), butter and fruit flavors. The cheese of the week can be found at the register.
