- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/26/2014fabulous food and excellent service, we will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food but ...OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/23/2014Our dining experience was definitely a mix of good and not so good. When you're paying hundreds of dollars for a fine night out there are a few things you expect. The first would be comfortable seating. Old beat up wooden chairs with no padding and tables with no table cloths don't really set a good tone. They do have better chairs in the room but not where we were placed. The second would be good service. The waiter managed to fill our water glasses every two minutes but it was almost 20 minutes before he asked if we would like a drink. And while he did an average job of looking after us, there were some huge gaps in which we couldn't even see him on the dining room floor. Including after the meal when our table had been fully cleared and we waited again for almost 20 minutes to get our bill. The food was very good with a few exceptions. The crab cakes..............cold and for the most part quite tasteless. Others in our group had similar experiences with parts of their meal. As others have said, the room is very open so be prepared for more noise but it really didn't affect our group. All in all the evening was enjoyable, but for the price, the lack of good service and having to sit on hard chairs for 2+ hours made our experience less than desirable.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 11/23/2014Tha ambience is more than lovely. It exudes a rustic yet sophisticated charm with the added benefit of having many windows overlooking the lake. The food was tasty and unique. We had wild boar which was perfectly cooked and expertly flavored, served with a sourdough bread pudding! It was delicious. The service was attentive yet unobtrusive. I will definately be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved it!13lemondropVIPDined on 11/21/2014Amazing! Loved the fresh oysters and the scallop entree! Wonderful food and service!Special Features:
- Great food, service and ambience.LunchladyDined on 11/21/2014Lovely spot overlooking the lake. Very nicely decorated for the holidays. Daily quiche special so delicious. Good selection of wine. Great little gem for lunch or dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome food, noisy roomOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/15/2014This my first time here since it moved from the previous location. As always the food was outstanding. The server was over worked and did not come by often enough. A large birthday party was beside our small table of 4 which made it difficult to have a table conversation. I would have liked to have been seated farther away from a group like that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent dinnerKimhDined on 11/14/2014The food is divine, the ambience is romantic and intimate, the service is excellent ....a wonderful dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great view of LakeLunchladyDined on 11/13/2014Went for lunch with friends twice in one week. The food was delicious. We had crab cakes and salmon quiche with salad. They do a special quiche everyday. Paired with a nice merlot was perfect. The two girls serving were very friendly and refilled your water regularly. Nice ambience. The Lake was sparkling like mini snowflakes very pretty. A bit pricey but well worth it. Would recommend to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good.jessicarabbit15VIPDined on 11/8/2014The Lake House should invest in some table cloths and anything else that will absorb noise. Because of the layout it is noisy. That being said, the service is good, the food very good and the overall experience good. My boyfriend and I dine out quite often (1-2 times per week) and usually go to our same favorite restaurants: Rouge, River Cafe, Ruth's Chris, Rush... (might be an "R" theme here). The Lake House is good, not great. We go and expect good food but noisy ambiance. If this is your one "nice" dinner out per month, maybe best to try some place else simply due to noise level and that it takes away from the ambiance. Otherwise, a solid choice for food and service. The view of the lake is very nice (unless it is dark out)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Servers are untrainedOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/8/2014Yes "I like it" well sort of. The food was delicious however, the server was clumsy at best. At a Resturant of this level I would expect the staff to be trained. The reservation process and the hostesses were great. The decor was fantastic, the only complaint was how hard the chairs were after a few hours.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Memorable EeningArthur1932Dined on 11/8/2014Nice table near the fireplace ; very friendly Waitress ,great food and fine Wine. We'll cmd again soon!Special Features:
- Food and service very goodDfurlongVIPDined on 11/7/2014We were excited to go to the Lake House for our first time. We were disappointed that we did not get a window table, nor did we get a table in the main dining room even though there were many still available. Instead we were seated in a side part of the restaurant next to a wall. Our server was very attentive and knowledgable. Food was very good. We had the oysters & crab cakes to start - the oysters were small but very nice. I had the salmon, which was really good. My husband had the bison which was good but not great. We will go back to the Lake House again but absolutely will be requesting a table by the window next time, as ambiance is such a huge part of the whole experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My favorite place to eat alwaysmyplaceDined on 11/5/2014My husband and I discovered the Lakehouse a few months ago when going to Calgary. We searched the internet as I often go to Calgary for shopping or various appointments and we tried it for lunch. The view of the lake is so beautiful and what a better way to enjoy a five star meal that looking at something so beautiful. We have been back a couple of times and plan on going back soon. We both love the food, and the service is top notch. Good to know we can keep coming back to the same wonderful restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Missing the markBfoodieDined on 11/2/2014The Lake House fits the bill for a special occasion dining experience, however huge potential in both the lounge area & restaurant to appeal to residents in Bonavista and surrounding communities (Parkland, Willow Park) for a regular go to with a more casual menu that still maintains high calibre food product. Have lived in the neighborhood 20 years and would patronize this restaurant continually if the menu offerings changed, too fussy for a Friday nite going out with friends for a nice dinner - have never seen the space more than half full of customers.Special Features:
- Not what it used to be...OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/1/2014When my wife and I booked the restaurant for our wedding anniversary we were hoping to go back to what was our favourite restaurant in the city. Unfortunately, The Lake House is not The Ranche - the menu is different and not in a good way, the noise level was extremely loud and the experience overall left us feeling disappointed. Many of the great game items that The Ranche had to offer were gone or replaced with their poorer, more readily available items. The charcuterie board was acceptable but felt like it was made up from items from your local Co-Op. The duck breast was well prepared but the flavour was rather bland. The lamb was tender and very enjoyable. The service was prompt and attentive. A step above Keg but def not The RancheSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful evening!wine2dineVIPDined on 11/1/2014Ignore the look of the shopping centre parking lot. Once you enter the restaurant you in a world of both comfort and elegance. Incredible view out onto the lake with the house lights shining, in the distance, through the snow. Food is always excellent but the tenderloin special was particularly wonderful and our friend is still raving about the Duck. Staff is attentive without being intrusive. Love the fact you can also drop in and sit at the bar and order from either the regular or bar menu. Great restaurant.Special Features:
- Great SteakindustrygalDined on 10/30/2014My husband and I stopped in for dinner before parent teacher interviews and were very happy we did. The steaks were wonderful and loved that they offered other game meats. The flavour pairings were wonderful and we will be going back soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SandiStumpedDined on 10/30/2014We found the food was fine but not outstanding to warrant charging the prices they charged. Most of the wine was very expensive but it was served in the incorrect glasses. So we ordered a $60 bottle of wine. There appeared to be no dress code as several men kept their hats on - that is common in a pub - not a fine restaurant. Won't go back and when asked, I'll say it was very expensive.Special Features:
- superb quality diningHappyDinerDined on 10/28/2014Friendly, accommodating, helpful, informed staff; genuine warmth. Superb window views over lake, yet not too cold, even seated beside windows (good insulation!). Great restaurant that doesn't overlook parking lot. Adequate handy parking. Extraordinary food. Well thought-out menu & wine choices; the fish platter to share has an exceptional range of tastes, each different & wonderful. Chairs comfortable for lingering over meal & drinks. Our only point of discomfort was the noise level; as older patrons, a room meant to sound "energetic" is distressing; we dislike having to yell to speak with the person beside us, or use sign language to communicate with the person opposite ---- & the room was only half full, early on Wed. evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious BrunchKsmith88Dined on 10/26/2014Went to the Lake House for brunch with a group of 10. Enjoyed coffee and Baileys and mimosas. Eggs Benedicy was delicious. Kids pancakes were filled with coloured chocolate chips which they really enjoyed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date nightLuvtherancheDined on 10/25/2014Amazing food although there used to be a larger menu.... Beautiful venue but dinber was cut short by the extremely noisy atmosphere. Need to have some type of sound buffets or plants to br all up the room. Table if three kids right beside is at the window. Constant running around and crying really dampened a romantic dinner carat kids by the front doir closer to the entrance so the parents can take them out when they are acting up. Have been a loyal "Ranche restaurant" attendee for numerous years and was disappointed by the evening left without dessert and went to another restaurant for dessert and after dinner drinksSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very disappointedDAHSDined on 10/24/2014We have dined at the Lake House 4 times. Our experience was excellent the first two times and poor the last two times. Service was poor - food was mediocre at best. it took so long for him to come and take our order after we had ordered our first drink that we were seriously thinking of leaving. They must have changed their chef because there was no originality in the menu The only thing that did not change was the price of the meals - still extreme. It will be a very long time, if ever, that I go back to The Lake House.
- First and Last TimeDisappointedDined on 10/23/2014To pretentious and way to expensive . There are a lot better Restaurant in Calgary to spend your money in.
- Noisy restaurant!lunchladiesDined on 10/23/2014The view from our window table was lovely & the food was very good. Service was perfect. Servers were always there just when we needed them, helpful & friendly. However, the close proximity of large tables of 8 to 10 people made any ambience disappear. We had to talk loudly & repeat ourselves to be heard. The room, which was beautiful, seemed more like a community hall due to the long, closely spaced tables.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No servicecantcookDined on 10/20/2014We arrived to the same location we'd celebrated our marriage 25 years earlier (it was the Inn on the Lake way back then) in excitement, but sat for a full 15 minutes with no service staff stopping at our table (they were whizzing past - seemingly ignoring us - while serving others). Our excitement started to wane as time ticked by and we sat, without so much as water, with our meals chosen. Finally, we just got up and left. We walked into Caesar's in Willow Park Village - without a reservation - and had a waiter cheerily greeting us and serving us water almost before we'd settled in our seats. Our 25th wedding anniversary celebration was salvaged with a wonderful meal at Caesar's!Special Features:
- luvgoodfoodDined on 10/17/2014Great meal again. Oysters were outstanding (as were the crab cakes). Wild boar shoulder was so tender it fell apart with a fork. My wife had the salmon and thoroughly enjoyed it. And what better way to close things off than by having the chocolate pot (?). And the service was outstanding....will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, other issues though..CDow1990Dined on 10/17/2014I came here last night for my birthday dinner with my parents. We've been here before, and really enjoyed ourselves last time. The manager, Desiree, called to confirm our reservation and even remembered we were celebrating a birthday. Good start. Our server was lovely. She always made sure our water and wine glasses were filled, and was polite and attentive. The food was excellent as usual. I did not receive anything for my birthday and the hostess blamed me because I did not order dessert. I did not realize I had to order dessert to get any recognition for my birthday. The way she spoke to us left a bad taste, which is a shame as we love this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expensive--a glass of wine $15FinediningDined on 10/17/2014We both ordered quiche it was dry and over cooked. I have eaten here several times and never been disappointed. Prices are high for a light lunch also the wooden chairs are very uncomfortable. I am sure our lunch had been reheated--not what you expect at The Lake House. I would not recommend the restaurant highly based on our lunch!!!Special Features:
- Overall Amazing Place!AlyschristineDined on 10/15/2014Went here for our anniversary dinner. Not only were the staff extremely friendly and pleasent.. our server and the chef were both informed already about my allergies (Celiac / Lactose Intolerent). They were extremely careful and cautious in letting me know what I could and couldn't eat, and modified whichever entre I chose to suit my needs... VERY IMPRESSED! Will definitely come here again.Special Features:
- Best night everAyeshaeDined on 10/15/2014We were a group of 4 and was celebrating 2 birthdays. They started us off with some complimentary bubbly and an appetizer. The mains were fabulous, our server was exceptional. Two of us had desserts and the other two coffee, but they still gave a some chocolate and fruit for the 2 that did not order a dessert. The desserts were devine as well. Finally when the bill came, it was accompanies with 4 macarons , perfectly made and with mint chocolate in the middle. Yum. I would go here again any day. Thanks, we had a great time.Special Features:
- Excellent but noisyOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/12/2014We had a large group sitting near us that we're celebrating an upcoming wedding. The acoustics in the restaurant increased the volume.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another Great MealWoodOvenGuyVIPDined on 10/10/2014This is a wonderful restaurant with one of the most imaginative and well prepared menus in the city.Special Features:
- Poor valueNoshDined on 9/29/2014Very disappointed in the food. We used to love the Ranche but won't be returning to the Lake House. Extremely expensive for meadiocre food. There are lots of other places to eat -- why go here?Special Features:
- Excellent!JoJoYYCDined on 9/26/2014I have eaten brunch and now dinner at The Lake House. Highly recommend it for both. Good service and the food is wonderful. Can't wait to go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Older dinersolderdinersDined on 9/24/2014Good food, attentive but not overwhelming service, comfortable chairs and a great view. The noise level was a little high making it hard to talk until a couple of large groups left. Some sound deadening measures would be good.Special Features:
- Noise LevelSuziQDined on 9/24/2014The restaurant was quite busy with a large group right down the middle of the restaurant, the noise level was unbearable. They were shouting at each other and so did everyone else have to shout to be heard. i wasn't sure why a group of that size wasn't put at the long table that is in the separate area. We literally had headaches when we left. The food was good, the service was good but I wouldn't recommend the place due to the noise level.Special Features:
- Great food and serviceBirthday25Dined on 9/21/2014Enjoyed a lovely evening on the deck while watching the sun set. A quiet way to dine!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding food and servicefood4princessDined on 9/21/2014We came with 2 friend (table of 4 with reservations). We were pleased to be given a table by the window and enjoyed the view of the lake on this sunny fall day. The server was fabulous. Very attentive but not annoying. Friendly and knowledgeable about the menu as we had questions. 2 of the diners really enjoyed the eggs benedict (one with salmon and one with the ham). Both dishes were excellent and beautifully presented on hot plates! A rare treat. one person enjoyed the breakfast has that featured game meats and the other had a simple ham and tomato sandwich with sides. The cappuccino coffee was lovely. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Saturday - seated in the West WingEatGreatFoodDined on 9/20/2014Far to noisy! We anticipated a comfortable dining experience and I definitely would return to try more dishes; but not on the night they are hosting a wedding. I suggest you ask if there is a special event before making your reservation. The curtain room divider does not even begin to disperse the cacaphony provided by the wedding party right next door. Romantic views, average/pricey wine selection, the cheese plate was by far the best (quantity and quality) we have had in the City.Special Features:
- Food and Staff top notch!SandiDined on 9/19/2014Excellent dinner (salmon with lobster dill mashed potatoes and wild boar shoulder with polenta were both so tasty). Menu has great variety with a good number of unique choices. The service was very good and I appreciated that I was advised early in the day of a large party happening that night in the main dining room which allowed me to reconsider or be prepared. The ambiance of overlooking the lake on a lovely fall evening was so nice as well.Special Features:

Russia, the world's third-biggest wheat exporter last season, will allow 130,000 metric tons a week of grain sales from stockpiles throughout the country for millers and feed producers, the Agriculture Ministry said.
Grain sales, which started this week in Siberia and Russia's Far East, will be extended to the rest of the country Nov. 6, the ministry said in a statement on its website today. The state sold 82,985 tons of stocks in the first two days of trade on Oct. 23-24, out of 110,000 tons that were offered, according to the Moscow exchange.
Russia's sales are aimed at decreasing domestic prices after grain surged in value following this year's drought.
Farmers harvested 72 million tons of grain and legumes before drying and cleaning from almost 98 percent of the sown area by Oct. 23, compared with 94.6 million tons a year earlier, according to Agriculture Ministry data.
Wheat for December delivery rose 0.5 percent to $8.775 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade by 5:39 p.m. Moscow time. It's advanced 34 percent this year.

Georgia House supports loosening gun restrictions
House lawmakers have voted to allow people to carry guns in more places, including bars, churches and government offices.
Legislators voted 119-56 on Tuesday to support a bill that would eliminate a blanket prohibition on taking guns into houses of worship. Under the plan, congregations could decide whether or not to allow firearms.
The bill would allow local school districts to decide whether to arm their employees. Supporters say the move would deter attacks on schools, though opponents have said putting more firearms into schools is dangerous.
If it passes, people with a state-issued license to carry a gun could take their weapons into government buildings that are not guarded by security.
The bill now heads to the state Senate.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Jordan Taylor scored 17 points to lead No. 13 Wisconsin to a 79-45 victory over Mississippi Valley State on Friday in the Badgers' final game before Big Ten play begins.
Playing for the first time in more than a week, the Badgers (11-2) showed no signs of rust, taking a 20-4 lead in the game's first 8 minutes.
The Delta Devils (1-10) were able to cut the lead to 11 points twice in the first half and showed signs they might make it a game. But foul trouble and Wisconsin's free throw shooting eventually wore them down.
Jared Berggren scored 15 points and Josh Gasser added 11 for Wisconsin, which was 31 of 44 from the line.
Paul Crosby and Terrence Joyner both scored 14 points for the Delta Devils.

This is a very small spa located next to a busy highway. The rooms are average but clean, Staff is polite but do not speak english. Not expensive so you get what you pay for, The only bad experience was the food. If you must stay there do not buy an all inclusive package. The restaurant is not good.

This time, since Charlie is about to go on jury duty, his off-beat sidekick, Victor Plotz - "a high-on-pragmatism, low-on-ethics kind of guy" - agrees to poke around when wealthy horse owner Bernard Logan is kicked to death by a horse. Logan's death surely looks like an accident. Yet just a few days before, Logan had come looking for Charlie, convinced his wife wanted him dead. It soon turns out that a host of folks at Battlefield Farms don't much like each other. Then rats start popping up all over the place. Before the case is closed, there's plenty of mayhem and misdeed, including shenanigans at the race track. This is the kind of sophisticated, elegant story where Stephen Dobyns excels. And dedicated Dobyns fans need not fear; Charlie Bradshaw is very much on the scene.

text: Boehner Wants Military Benefits Restoration Tied to Debt Ceiling Negotiations Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 6 Feb 2014 post a comment House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) wants to tie debt ceiling negotiations to the restoration of military benefits. Speaking to Republican representatives, on February 5th Boehner encouraged them "to demand a restoration of recently cut military benefits in exchange for a one-year extension of the federal government's borrowing authority." According to The Washington Post, though Boehner "did not formally endorse the idea as his own, he did ask his lieutenants to test it among rank-and-file-Republicans." Those close to Boehner say he is trying to find a way to handle debt ceiling negotiations that avoids throwing Republicans into the kind of disarray debt limit negotiations have caused in the past. Rep. Patrick Tiberi (R-OH) praised Boehner's efforts and said getting "218 Republicans behind something" is a herculean feat. "Whatever we move, there will be critics everywhere, but at the end of the day we still have to govern." Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said that "the government will run short of cash to pay its bills by the end of [February] unless Congress grants additional credit authority."

Ted's Montana Grill is currently testing brunch at its New York City location.
Beginning last month, the Midtown Manhattan location of the 45-unit chain started offering the menu on Saturday starting at 11 a.m. and Sunday starting at noon to tap into Gotham's penchant for the weekend meal.
"Brunch is big in the Big Apple, and we're excited to test our brunch menu there," Ted's chief executive George McKerrow said in e-mail. "We hope to attract new patrons in New York who may be unfamiliar with Ted's, plus our restaurant is located close to several large hotels, so this is another option for tourists and other visitors.
McKerrow said the chain is considering rolling out the brunch menu systemwide.
"After we see how New York fares, we plan to test the menu this fall in Atlanta and Alexandria, Va.," he said. "Then, based on New York and these other two markets, we hope to expand further in the near future."
So far, the new menu has been well received, according to McKerrow. He noted that the Bison Short Rib Hash has proven to be the favorite item among diners. The dish comes with breakfast potatoes, roasted corn and avocado, and fried eggs. It's $20.
Other menu items include:
Salmon Frittata: spinach and gruyère frittata topped with cedar plank salmon, roasted asparagus, diced tomatoes and horseradish sauce, $19
Chicken & Waffle: buttermilk fried chicken, malted waffle and maple syrup, $19
Chantilly Waffle: malted waffle, maple syrup, whipped cream and berries, $12
Ted's Traditional Breakfast: two eggs, roasted tomatoes, ham or bacon, breakfast potatoes and toast, $15
Montana Breakfast Burger: beef ($17) or bison ($18) patty with American cheese, grilled ham, spicy tomato jam and a fried egg, served with breakfast potatoes
Steak and Eggs: Grilled beef ($27) or bison ($32) strip steak, eggs, roasted tomatoes, breakfast potatoes and toast
Crab Cake Benedict: crab cakes with wilted spinach, poached eggs and chipotle hollandaise sauce with breakfast potatoes: $22
A $9 yogurt parfait is also on the menu, along with $5 sides, including fruit, bacon, ham, roasted asparagus, breakfast potatoes and roasted potatoes. Apart from coffee, tea, espresso drinks, milk and orange juice, Ted's is also offering three cocktails: Mimosas at $4 each or $20 for a liter, a Bloody Mary for $10, and a Bellini for $11.
Ted's Montana Grill is the latest chain in the struggling casual-dining segment to experiment with the brunch daypart. In April, sister chains Brio Tuscan Grill and Bravo! Cucina Italiana started offering assorted omelettes and eggs Benedict variations at midday on the weekends, along with roasted turkey and sweet potato hash, and French toast.
That same month, On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina started opening at 10 a.m. on weekends instead of 11 a.m. to sell items such as huevos rancheros, breakfast chile rellenos, chilaquiles, and breakfast tacos and burritos.

Ive had this phone for about a week and half now and have to say its perfect i spent alot of time reading reviews and looking on em on youtube with it going against the sansung galaxy s2 i have to say on some of those review the phone seem slow but mine has been perfect loads massive web pages in seconds. I prevesly have had iphone 4 3gs and htc desire and had a play around with the saunsung galaxy s2 and have to say to me the htc wins un like the desire you can now watch bbc iplayer and download full hd movies or rent them for around 3 pound aswel and obvasly better and faster in every way compared to the desire.As for the htc against the sansung galaxy s2 well lets just say the s2 has got nothing that compairs to the sensations interface the s2 is boring dull yes the colour screens better in day light and if you watch it at an angle but who gonna do that! also the so to build quality is rubbish tacky plastics and sansung screen dont tend to last long mabe this phones different but my girlfiend was a big fan of saunsung but her phone screen kept on going same when she upgraded to the galaxy one all in all the sansung might be a bit faster on the internet but if you want a phone thats well built and can do everthing then you aught to look past the slight difference in speed and get the htc sensation. AS i keep saying how good the htc is here is the bad part htc just released a new phone called the htc sensation xe 1.5g prossecor loads of extra this phone been at for three to four months absolutly shocked and annoyed at htc disgracful treatment to bring out a better version when alot of fans have got this phone im that anoyed that next time im gonna get another iphone the easyier to text and at least apple respects its customers enough to weight a year before releasing a better one ! if you have complain to htc about what theyve done!

Less-than-truckload carrier ABF Freight System is cutting its number of terminals from 277 to 247.
In a "change of operations" filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, parent company Arkansas Best, said it had already eliminated eight facilities in the second half of this year with the rest still yet to close.
"The proposed change is part of an ongoing, dynamic network analysis that was initiated in 2013 along with other efforts at ABF Freight to return the company to sustained, historic profitability," the company said in the filing. "[This] will result in improved transit times for customers, enhanced operational efficiency and greater density in the carrier's less-than-truckload freight network. The company will continue to directly serve customers in all the markets it currently serves."
ABF Freight is in the process of meeting and reviewing the proposed change with all Teamster local unions involved. All of these meetings will be concluded prior to the hearing with the Teamsters about the matter, likely set for next month.
In late October, Teamsters Union members at ABF ratified a new labor contract, running from Nov. 3 of this year through March 31, 2018, that ABF said will save the company between $55 million to $65 million annually.

Associated Press News Release
LAKELAND, Ga. (AP) -- A south Georgia bus driver has been placed on administrative leave after a 5-year-old girl was left alone on a school bus for six hours.
Lanier County Schools Superintendent Keith Humphrey told the Valdosta Daily Times (http://bit.ly/1hhzPww ) the girl fell asleep on the bus the morning of Dec. 12 and was crying when she was found hours later.
The girl's mother says she received a call that afternoon from her daughter's school saying the girl was found on a bus in the parking lot of a middle school.
Humphrey says the girl was examined by a school nurse and was back in class the next day.

Help please - looking for a venue in Hollywood
- j
- jennifer42 Jan 3, 2012 01:00 PM
I need to book a venue for a cocktail party for 120 people within walking distance of the Renaissance Hollywood (Hollywood and Highland).
We have a decent budget ($100 pp, although the location is giving me heart palpatations and I'm already sure we'll have to increase it) and the venue can be classy or campy, as long as if it's camp, it's obvious. Basically, anything but boring middle-of-the-road.
Catch is that it HAS to be within walking distance and it cannot be a chain restaurant. Doesn't even have to be a restaurant, as long as the venue is interesting.
Help me LA Chowhounders, you're my only hope! ;)
Your budget sounds low to me, but then again what do I know...Have you checked with the events people at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel? Worth a call. http://www.thompsonhotels.com/hotels/... I attended a function in their "Oscar" room which holds up to 150 guests: http://www.thompsonhotels.com/hotels/...
re: Servorg
That's the thing... in MOST locations (even Washington, DC), that's a fairly high budget for a cocktail party. I know we might have to adjust it for the location on this one.
A hotel ballroom, no matter the location, isn't going to be ideal, but they do have some non-ballroom venues on that link that are worth checking out... thanks!
re: Servorg
OMG Beacher's Madhouse - probably way way beyond my budget, probably unbookable... but would be the most epic event ever.
re: jennifer42
Beachers is bookable and I don't think they are necessarily turning people away every night...
re: LATrapp
So, how does one talk their boss into a flying midget bar? Especially if said boss is 30 years older? Drinks will be involved in the discussion, for sure...
How about the the historic Musso and Franks Grill? They say they can accommodate parties up to 300. It is two blocks away.
I was also going to suggest Musso & Frank. Or possibly the Pig & Whistle (though I haven't been there, it looks pretty good) http://www.pignwhistlehollywood.com/
Okay, I've contacted the Hollywood Roosevelt, Musso and Franks, and the Pig'n Whistle. Lucky Strike is out, since it's a chain. I also contacted the Rolling Stone.
Please keep the ideas coming if you think of anything else, I have a couple of weeks before I need to get a deposit in. Thanks!
re: jennifer42
so sorry about the chain aspect - i had no idea! believe it or not i thought the Hollywood & NYC locations were the only ones. oops. i guess that means Madame Tussaud's is out too ;)
if you want to go campy, there's Miceli's with the singing waiters & waitresses...
Miceli Restaurant Hollywood
1646 N Las Palmas Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90028
re: goodhealthgourmet
Now that would be one heck of a walk to and fro, from H&H! ;-D>
re: Servorg
ha! totally didn't realize the wrong place link attached. i corrected it - thanks for the heads-up :)
I don't know what date you're thinking of, but the Magic Castle re-opens January 13th after the fire reconstruction. You might also consider buying out some non-conventional places, like Ripley's Believe it or Not, or Madame Tussaud's, although I'm not sure what that would run.
You might also consider Yamashiro Restaurant. It's not walking distance but very close and they would coordinate shuttles for you though the "Dine and Ride" service as part of the "package". The wide angle views of the LA basin are beyond fantastic and would get noticed by your guests big-time! Nothing in the flats below can compare for the "view effect" on the guests.
re: mitchbart
That's pretty cool, but unfortunately, my guests are easily distracted. We've found that no matter how great the venue, if it's not within walking distance of the hotel, you lose about 50% of your guests on the way there. Someone else offers to take them to dinner, they miss the shuttle, think they'll get the next one, get hungry, wander off, and never return. It would make my life so much simpler if it wasn't like herding cats, but it is. As long as it's within walking distance, they show up in droves and the party really gets going, but when they trickle in on a shuttle, it just doesn't happen. (But I might go check that one out myself while I'm in town.)
Musso & Frank's would definitely be my call on the "campy" side. It's iconic L.A., and I would assume much more reasonable than any of the non-"campy" options of any worth in the immediate area.
re: katydid13
I called them and apparently, they own a ton of venues right in the area that I wouldn't have necessarily thought of. Good call. Thanks!

Carter- a bit too common and trendy. Plus, Carter Robert will slur to become Carterobert.
Graham- Short, manly, and classic... love it! Graham Robert is nice. I would not choose this if your surname is 1 syllable... it would be too choppy.
Emerson- It is a bit girly. What about Emrys, Whitman, Booker, or Walden?
Oliver- I know quite a few baby Olivers, it's incredibly common. Moreover, Oliver Robert will slur to become Oliverobert.
Wesley- Love Wesley, it's so romantic! It reminds me of the Princess Bride... Wesley Robert flows the best of all the choices.

Two NH men charged in series of daytime burglaries
The arrests came after law-enforcement officials formed a regional burglary task force because of 35 daytime burglaries in Pelham, Hudson, Dracut, Mass., and Tyngsborough, Mass. Jewelry and electronics were the targets of the burglars who, in most cases, forced their way into the homes.
Detectives identified two suspects in the burglaries after recovering stolen property at area pawn shops.
After a six-week investigation, detectives had enough evidence to question the two suspects identified as Matthew Szczechura, 29, of Pelham, and Jeffrey Lavoie, 26, of Hudson.
About 5 p.m. Monday, police stopped their vehicle on Mammoth Road in Pelham and arrested them after recovering evidence from the car. Later, police said they learned of four burglaries that same day in Windham, Danville and Sandown, and found some stolen items from those break-ins on Szczechura and Lavoie.
Investigators seized the vehicle and applied for a search warrant. Detectives said the two men were involved in about 20 burglaries that occurred in Pelham, Windham, Hudson, Danville, Sandown and Dracut and Tyngsborough. Police also believe the two men may have been involved in several other burglaries in area towns.
Szczechura is charged with being a fugitive from justice on a burglary warrant out of Dracut, burglary, and conspiracy to commit burglary in Pelham.
Lavoie is charged with burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary in Pelham. The two will be facing additional burglary-related charges out of Dracut, Tyngsborough, Windham, Hudson, Sandown and Danville. Both are being held pending arraignment Tuesday in 10th Circuit Court, Salem District Division.

CaptionsSnow-covered fields appear as geometric patterns on Lake Michigans Washington Island in this photograph taken by the crew of the International Space Station. The island is 9 km long (5.6 miles) and lies on Lake Michigans western shore, as a continuation of Wisconsins Door Peninsula. (Note that north is to the lower left in the image.)
White coastal ice hugs the shoreline and connects Washington Island with Detroit Island and Rock Island. Ice typically accumulates first near land, where cooling is more rapid than in deeper lake water. Two other snow-covered islands (image top left) are small enough and far enough from land to evade the collars of ice.
On the day this image was taken, southwesterly winds were blowing ice into the lake in the form of long, coherent stringers. The thickness of a stringer is related to the length of coastline that feeds it. The smallest northern stringer (image left) is fed by the shortest section of upwind coastline, and the longest (image right) is supplied by the large amount of shore ice around Detroit Island. These dominant winds keep a narrow zone (along the western shore of the lake) clear of ice, even as accumulations in the winter of 2014 reach the highest levels ever recorded in Lake Michigan.

While Tim Kring's 2006 television series Heroes may have left a bad taste in some mouths, one thing that most fans had in common was the love of the characters. Viewers were genuinely interested in what would happen to Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia); audiences cheered anytime the series focused on Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka); fans truly believed that if Peter saved the cheerleader, Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere), he could save the world. While the good guys were fun to rally behind, there is no doubt that audiences absolutely adored big baddie, Sylar (Zachary Quinto). The moment a reboot of the series was announced, titled Heroes Reborn, fans wanted to know who would be returning and started crossing their fingers in the hope that their favorite characters would reappear. Unfortunately, while he played what was undoubtedly one of the most popular roles on the series, Quinto has squashed any hope fans had for the return of the super cool villain. (more…)
For those of you younger readers this might not seem like much of a big deal. It's just another blooper reel, there are hundreds on the Internet at a click of a mouse button. For those of us old enough to remember the Before Times of the Internet, we remember seeing the mythical original series Star Trek Blooper Reel once or perhaps twice a year in a crowded, unusually hot hotel conference room at the annual local Sci-Fi convention. No one even had it on VHS back then unless you bought it off the bootleg video table. You could always find it in a darkened corner of your local comic book convention. You knew the table because every VHS tape had a photocopied cover. Now you just click and enjoy. (more…)
Hey! There's still comic book news at Comic Con. Who woulda thunk it? A number of new comic books have been announced so far at this con, and while many of them do have a film or TV connection, they are surely titles that all types of fans will be interested in. From the final frontier to California suburbia, from seminal 60s sci-fi to 80s nostalgia kitsch, there's some interesting options coming to a comic store near you. Let's take a look at what SDCC 2014 has in terms of actual comic announcements. (more…)
While none of the original Star Trek cast are strangers to the bizarre sort of fame that comes with their fandom, there is one man that has risen above the rest to become an iconic and outspoken hero for many humans. I am speaking, of course, of George Takei. Love him or hate him (is that even possible?), the man-who-was-Sulu has a buttload (as in millions) of followers on every social network he frequents. And those fans will be pleased to know that there's a documentary coming out that's all about George Takei. Entitled To Be Takei, the upcoming movie has just released its first trailer, which you should scroll down and watch right this second. (more…)
Also, do you like details? You're in luck! Here's something close to that… sort of! On the show this week, Jeremy and Jason discuss: (more…)
While J.J. Abrams is still producing the third as of yet untitled Star Trek film, writer Roberto Orci will be sitting in the director's chair when production starts. He recently appeared on Geoff Boucher's podcast Humans From Earth, where he touched on where the film will go this time around. (more…)
The Internet has been on a slow boil the last couple of weeks as the whispers became rumors that morphed into talks and now have fully blossomed into confirmation that Robert Orci will direct the third Star Trek movie. Should you be worried? (more…)
Roberto Orci Enters Negotiations to Direct 'Trek III'; Internet Has Already Sacrificed Three Babies In Order to Stop It
Remember when we earnestly rejoicing when it sounded like Joe Cornish might be behind the lens for the third Star Trek movie? Ah, the good ol' days of…two months ago?
Then, just a few weeks ago, it was reported that writer/producer Roberto Orci was lobbying for the director's chair for the as-of-yet untitled, Abrams-less installment. Today, Deadline is reporting that Orci has entered negotiations with Skydance Productions and Paramount to helm the film and is the frontrunner for the position.
Quoth Gary 'Jonesy' Jones: "I'm filing this in the "Who Gives A Shit" section of my Memory Warehouse."
Alex Raymond created the Flash Gordon character 80 years ago, launching a comic strip that ran — in one form or another – for almost 70 years until the early aughts. There were also three films made in the late 30s and early 40s and a handful of live action and animated television projects that have dotted the landscape for the last 60 years, but despite all of that history, I'm hung up on the campy 1980s live action film and so are you, and that's why we're likely going to hate the news that the Flash Gordon reboot now has a pair of shiny new writers (literally), bringing J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay aboard to put words in Ming the Merciless' mouth.
Gordon's alive? Unfortunately, yes.
With all this talk of The Avengers, Batman Vs. Superman and Star Wars: Episode VII some of you may have forgotten that a new Star Trek film is on the way. Lacking J.J. Abrams, Paramount is currently looking for a new director to take on the storied franchise.
Names have been tossed around, rumors have been heard and now apparently one guy is lobbying hard for the job. That guy? Star Trek, Transformers and Fringe writer/mastermind Roberto Orci. With him comes someone who has been a part of the new rebooted series since its inception. With him also comes controversy and questions.

- China Merchants Holdings (Pacific) recorded HK$464.4 million in turnover for the three months ended 31 March 2014, a 6.4 percent hike from last year, attributable to revenue growth from Yongtaiwen Expressway, which contributed 80 percent of the firm's revenue for the quarter.

Ramifications of a Lackluster Rapture: Google Trends and the Social Media Response
Saturday has come and gone, and the continuously impending apocalypse has been put off once again. No people levitating into the sky, no fiery asteroids hurtling towards earth, just a volcano in Iceland letting off some steam. Even the volcano's biggest threat was that it might possibly disrupt flights in Scotland.
Very terrifying. By now we should be well accustomed to being disappointed about end time prophecies. With Y2K still fresh in many minds, hopefully we've developed a healthy enough dose of skepticism to be critical of such predictions. Human history has been littered with apocalyptic predictions. Can you guess how many have come true? The World is Ending … Again But I suppose you can't really place too much blame on people like Harold Camping, who... > Read more
B(r)ing Along Your Friends: Bing 'Friend Effect' Adds Facebook Data to Search
Recently Bing started bringing what they call the "Friend Effect" to search, giving users the option of searching the web with integrated Facebook data. You'll never be alone again, as your Facebook fellows will be right alongside you recommending pages and pointing out hot deals to you.
This seems somewhat odd considering that only a week ago Facebook was attacking Google guerrilla-warfare style for trying to use Facebook data in their own social search ideas. Facebook is wheeling and dealing like a true mob boss. Despite Facebook's continuously spinning needle on the moral compass, it's hard for me to be too critical, because after checking out the new Bing, I really like what I see. Bing is using Facebook data in some really awesome new ways. Let's ta... > Read more
Congrats to Microsoft, Proud New Owner of Skype
Today, Microsoft officially announced its acquisition of Skype, dishing out a hefty $8.5 billion for the popular video conferencing service. The Skype deal will be Microsoft's most expensive acquisition in its 36-year history. As a company that traditionally avoids pricey purchases, Microsoft must have some big plans for Skype.
A Quick Skype Background CheckSkype was created by Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis in 2003. Offering free video conferencing and calls between Skype users via computer and certain cell phones, Skype quickly became popular with international callers. Interestingly, Zennstrom and Friis are also the inventors of the infamous Kazaa music sharing program, a big name in the muddied waters of music piracy (Kazaa also became well known for being riddled with viruses).Skyp... > Read more
Osama Bin Laden's Death as Told by Social Media and Search Engines
While Twitter, Facebook, and media outlets around the world were ablaze with news of Osama Bin Laden's death on the night of May 1st, I was fast asleep in bed. It seems I'm always sleeping through important events, having snoozed through the Royal Wedding as well. I don't wake up at 5 am for anything, and while old ladies in fancy hats are always good for a laugh, I've gotten more of my share of darling William and Catherine through the continuous stream of replay coverage.
So naturally it wasn't until I groggily sat down at the computer with my coffee the next morning that I had any idea of the massive NYC partying I had missed out on. And like many others, I got the startling news via Facebook.Twitter Sets Aflame With an Abbotta-BANG!Osama Bin Laden's death has once again exem... > Read more
Facebook Family Additions: The New Send Button & Social Deals
Facebook develops new features and alters its layout and settings (and privacy policies) frequently, and the social giant recently introduced two new additions in its continued mission to take over the word.Facebook's new Send button allows users to share items with select people rather than everyone in their friend network.
Maybe you found a great bar in which to throw your friend's surprise party – but you certainly don't want the birthday girl to find out. With the Send button, you can quickly and easily share and send the URL to specific friends, groups, and email addresses.Cynthia Boris at Marketing Pilgrim has a clever idea about how the Send button could be implemented as a marketing strategy:"As a marketer, I'd take this one step further and use that Send button for some ... > Read more
Be Your Own Lewis & Clark with Google's Map Maker
In Google's continuing efforts to get more social, Google's Map Maker tool made its introduction into the United States yesterday. Map Maker allows users to add and update maps with their own insights. This can mean a number of different things, such as moving place markers to more appropriate spots, pointing out certain parks and playgrounds, building a more detailed map of a college campus, or even marking the bike lanes in your town.
Essentially, it makes Google Maps into a Wiki.Google's Lat Long blog notes that since the release of Map Maker, the percentage of the world's population that has detailed online maps of their neighborhoods has jumped from 15% to 30%. Users have mapped road networks, bike lanes, schools, and even entire cities that were not documented ... > Read more
LinkedIn or Facebook for B2B and B2C Businesses?
If anyone asked, I'm sure you could spout off a hundred reasons your company should be involved in social media. But do you still need to get started? Which social network would be the best fit? What are some good first steps? Yes, I believe in social media. How else can you scale talking to people and learning more about them? Building relationships is a two-way street that can benefit you far more than just turning on a faucet of traditional advertising media.
But to have conversations, you need to be where your customers are. B2B? Yes, you have customers, too! Slow and steady wins the race – so setting up one account that you spend an hour on each day is going to be worth more than setting up five accounts and forgetting about them all. But you want to pick the right account to crea... > Read more
Using Quora to Answer Questions
Recently, the question and answer site Quora has been getting a lot of exposure in the technology space. If you have not heard of it yet, here's how it works: Users post questions that they cannot find answers to anywhere else on the web, and people answer them. Unlike sites like Yahoo Answers, however, the site seems to attract those who have a lot of authority on subject matter.
Recent examples of this would be Netflix's CEO Reed Hastings using Quora as a platform to talk to customers of the company's service. Seems like a really smart idea! Other authorities and companies use Quora to engage users and try to quench their thirst for knowledge. What's also different about Quora is that it is more like a social network than other Q&A sites. You are able to follow users, questio... > Read more
Bing and Facebook Like Each Other (But Do They Like-Like Each Other?)
On Wednesday, Bing and Facebook announced a partnership to make search more social by integrating Facebook "likes" into search results. According to the Facebook blog: When you search for something on Bing or in web results on Facebook (powered by Bing), you'll be able to see your friends' faces next to web pages they've liked.
So, you can lean on friends to figure out the best websites for your search. In theory, if you search for "The Social Network" in Bing, you might see links to reviews or stories about the movie that your Facebook friends have given the thumbs-up. Or if you're searching for a hotel in Santa Monica, you might see that a friend liked a certain hotel's Facebook page. In addition, people in your FB network will be more likely to show up in searches for names. Mark Zuc... > Read more
How Tumblr Opened My Eyes to the Social Web
Search Meet Social ... Now Play Nice! In the last SEO Training Dojo Friday Chat, I discussed using the Tumblr micro-blogging tools as a content distribution strategy. A few SOSG warriors wanted me to expand on it, so I decided to share this case study here on the WordStream blog. The temporal nature of universal search, which I had kinda stumbled upon before I embarked on this campaign, is partly why this strategy worked as well as it did.
This particular campaign took place during the holiday shopping rush. Timing the release of content and the channels the content was sent down were, IMO, big factors in ROI and conversion rate. I believe this is because people are sometimes frantically looking for gift ideas when shopping for Christmas. What better gift than something someone has just sh... > Read more
