Great online store!! They shipped out the product quickly and was sent to my residence, however, either FedEx decided to keep them or someone stole them off my front porch which has bars on the front. I will order from Sneakerhead again when I get the money.

Putting its abject, aesthetic abomination of a band name aside, supergroup Chickenfoot are—and admitting this feels wrong in so many ways—more fun than three barrels of monkeys, or at least more fun than half a case of Cabo Wabo-brand tequila. Debut Chickenfoot is more or less '80s cock-rawk cliché city, with lots of het-up "yeahs" and guitar solos threatening to spiral outta control, along with more subtle-as-a-bomb sexual innuendos than you can shake an Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery DVD at. At the same time, who else in rock right now has the balls to run rampant with this sort of graying horny-toad tomfoolery? In their way, songs like "Sexy Little Thing" and "My Kinda Girl" are more shocking than anything else happening in popular music right now. Let's hope Chickenfoot can last longer than Velvet Revolver did—if only to keep singer Sammy Hagar's career alive, to keep Joe Satriani's digits limber, and to waylay indefinitely, by way of drummer Chad Smith's involvement, the release of yet another insipid Red Hot Chili Peppers snoozer. All ages. (Photo by Art Bromage)

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A report from the U.S. Department of the Interior says fewer people visited Virginia's national park sites last year and spent less money during those visits.
According to the report, visits to Virginia sites yielded nearly $871 million in economic benefits with 22 million-plus visits in 2013. That's down from the $926 million spent in 2012 with nearly 23.4 million visits.
The report outlines the number of visits and the economic impact at the country's more than 400 sites in the national park system.
Overall, the national park system received 273.6 million recreation visits in 2013 and park visitors spent $14.6 billion in local communities. Lodging accounts for about one-third of that spending.
Nationally, that spending supported nearly 240,000 jobs last year. Spending in Virginia supported more than 12,350 jobs.

Don't Stop Believin' Lyrics - Journey
Review The Song (37)
[Instrumental Interlude]
Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
sponsored links
Goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night
[Instrumental Interlude]
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people

So i'm not the only young fan! | Reviewer: Lauren | 11/1/11
I'm 11, while at this point you're probably 12. But hey, you've got taste! Great song. My mom pulled me from my boyfriend and now he's not mine. And i loved him to death and he claimed to love me, but he got a new girlfriend the next day. It hurts. But Cameron's so much better. I liked him before my last boyfriend. And he basically hid my longing for Cameron. This is our song. He's 2 years older and that's why he won't go out with me, but if i skip a grade he said he'll go out with me. And we're the best of friends. We went to a field trip to a laser tag place for band, and on our way back we talked the whole way. More like sang. :D Best day ever! Especially with this song. Can't beat a guy who's a band nerd and knows his music. I'm still my last boyfriend's friend. But now he has to watch me drool over the guy who took over his first chair. Most deffinately gonna be fun.
BEST HOMEWORK EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/7/11

this is for "a real musician..." | Reviewer: mannity | 12/15/10
Death metal is music and it does take talent to play and you were complaining about where the jazz and blues are????? They are all here. Look at Led Zeppelin if you listen to their style it aint so much classic rock it has alot of roots in blues. In death metal the kinds of patterns guitarist use are of the classic scale usually the minor because it sounds more brutal and dark. SO my friend classical and jazz are not dead. Whether it be death metal or pop, roots of the originals will show it just depend what band. You were also talking about creativity???? In rap there isn't much but look at the band Tool, playing crazy drum fills in 7/6 time???? Alicia keys may not have a guitar like B.B. King but she has a piano and the blues can be heard in her. How about the drummer George Kolias from death metal band Nile???? 300 bpm's. Yet he still makes it tasty. You definitely need not be in a box, you want jazz and blues you gotta look into the music of today and how it marvels at its roots whether they be Jazz, classical, or blues.
Words to Live by | Reviewer: #95 Team SSTP Captain | 11/15/10
An inspiration. There is no song that is so mellow yet gets you fired up at the same time. A true classic. I'm doing everything I can to keep our team going. We love you Dave....Don't Stop Believing!!!!
WOW. you fail | Reviewer: Erin | 9/17/10
This song isnt about prostitutes you only wish it was. Its about how two people from too different worlds are waiting and searching for love and emotion but not all of us are lucky enough to find that special someone ( some will win some will loose ) and how we should never stop believing that the right person is out there for us. " Don't Stop Believing " because " After All These Years " the " Journey " is worth it. yeah thats right Im deep.
thats right. i went there. and i aint coming back! | Reviewer: some people just think they know everything. dont they? | 9/9/10
you know what for real?, if you think this song is so bad, why dont you go write some of those classical songs you were talking about, and lets see them get billions of hits, make millions, and get played en concert hundreds of times where people actually come to come watch the boring loser who dissed journey play boring classical/jazz/nasty prog rock music
Song Meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/23/10
I believe this song is about prostitutes.
Before people start yelling, "HOW COULD YOU THIS IS THE MOST INSPIRING SONG EVER!" I would like to prove my point.
This is the stanza that gets my point:
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night
Strangers waiting, Streelight people living to just find emotion hiding. If anyone has taken a high school english course they would know that this alludes perfectly to prostitutes.
Maybe this whole song isn't about them, but at least that stanza is.
What is a good song? | Reviewer: Emily | 7/18/10
This is not a good song. This a great song!!!!! My dad is friends with the band members he went to school with them became roommates and heard them when they first started their band so every time I hear this song I can just imagine my dad listening to them create their work of art. You may not like Journey but that's your opinion I think Journey is one of the bands that inspired artist to make their music
love it | Reviewer: danielle | 7/2/10
my school had a little american idol but instead of american it was whitley the name of my school. the last i think 5 contestants performed for the whole school.they did a group song and this was it.. i had never heard it before but as soon as i heard it i loved it and ever since then i have listened to it over and over again... i absolutely love it
YES! | Reviewer: kayle | 12/15/09
omg you dont even understand how much i love reading these things...i just sit at school durring class and read these...and i can't believe how stupid people can really be....does that make me stupid?...anyway i love this song weather it touches my heart or not...if you like a song why the fuck do you care what other people have to say?

Could you not fit something like PRO ELEC|RCD2-UK|RCD ADAPTOR REWIREABLE | CPC to the trollies that would help? Or get a sparky to fit a surge protected plug socket where they get stored?
We have a couple of 16x laptop trolleys in the school. However, staff are not very good at following instructions, and forget to turn off the switches inside, and subsequently trip the circuit breaker. To make things worse, it is the same circuit as our servers.
I was wondering if connecting the laptops up to a UPS to charge would prevent this sudden surge of 16 power packs from tripping the fuse breaker, with the UPS dealing with the surge? Was looking at something like Extra Value 500VA UPS - GREAT PRICE | Ebuyer.com
Would this work? Has anyone faced something similar and found a solution?
Could you not fit something like PRO ELEC|RCD2-UK|RCD ADAPTOR REWIREABLE | CPC to the trollies that would help? Or get a sparky to fit a surge protected plug socket where they get stored?
Have tried RCDs and both the RCD and main circuit breaker go, so no good
I guess a UPS would soak up some of the surge, but it's how you would go about making sure the staff plug into that if they can't follow your other instructions too.
What model laptop trolley's do you have? I know the ones we buy offer a 'soft start' (or some similar name) charging option to prevent this happening.
I would be suggesting another circuit for the 2 laptop trolley's to plug into probably a 16 amp breaker. As with all our ICT suites it is a recommendation that between 6 - 8 computers per trip on each circuit. What you have in effect is 2 x 16 = 32 on one circuit which carries your servers also, no wonder your laptop trolley's are tripping everything.
That would be my advice from a health and safety point of view.
You are suppose to know how much power is connected to that circuit. Every appliance has a label (where the power cord connects) that says how much power (watts or amps) that appliance consumes. You are expected to add those numbers.
Circuit breakers are only emergency safety backups to report when a human has made an addition error. For example, a 20 amp circuit breaker will conduct an overload - 25 amps - for up to two hours before the breaker trips. Your laptops could be drawing more than 30 amps when combined with the power consumptions of the server. That is an overloaded circuit - a human safety threat.
Also scary is recommeneding a surge protector plug to cure an overload.
Circuit breaker is repeatedly reporting an overloaded circuit. A 16 amp breaker will easily provide 32 amps for 12 or 25 seconds without tripping. The circuit can be overloaded for that long because breakers are only emgerency backup protection. Stop trying to cure symptoms. You need another circuit. The existing circuit is very much overloaded. That simple. That existing overloaded circuit was obviously a potential fire.
A mistake started by not summing power numbers from each appliance label. Circuit breaker is reporting a human created failure. Switching off laptops to reduce the still existing overload is another bad solution.

The 'soft start' seems to be a Loxit product, with the Bretford equivalent being 'EPM'. These upgrades look to be in the region of £200 each and are design to fit inside the trolley.
This is the type of system that I am after, but would be happy with something that is just attached to the wall where the trolleys are charged (they are never plugged in anywhere else). Is there such a product?
Having a new circuit with commodo plugs but that would probablu be more than £200
If the rcds are tripping (rather than circuit breakers), then it isn't just current, it will be the number of devices as well.
RCDs detect an imbalance between the current flowing in the live and neutral wires. Each device will have a small earth leakage, which isn't a problem on its own, but if you add 32+ computers/laptops/servers onto one rcd, the cumulative imbalance will trip the breaker.
The advice above about adding up the current is correct. If you are in any doubt, get someone qualified in to check it over. Messing up mains electrics could cause a fire which would be much more expensive getting an electrician in.
You need to get a properly qualified electrician in to look at this circuit.
Adding a ups will make things worse at this stage, as it will increase the electrical load and earth leakage, although your servers probably should be on one anyway. You should probably get your servers on their own dedicated circuit that isn't used for anything else, not hoovers, not laptop trolleys, not anything.

STOCKHOLM (AP) - Archbishop Desmond Tutu and two other Nobel Peace Prize laureates are contesting the awarding of this year's prize to the European Union, saying the 27-nation bloc contradicts the values associated with the prize.
Tutu of South Africa, Northern Ireland's Mairead Maguire and Adolfo Perez Esquivel from Argentina demand that the prize money of 8 million kronor ($1.2 million) not be paid out this year.
In an open letter to the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, the three laureates say that the EU is "clearly not one of the 'champions of peace' Alfred Nobel had in mind" when he created the prize in 1895.
The letter, a copy of which was acquired by the AP on Friday, says awarding the prize to the EU does not "realize Nobel's demilitarized global peace order."

Happy Easter,
We love ham over at our house and this recipe sounds delicious! Happy Easter Pam!

LG G3 vs Samsung Galaxy S5: What's the difference?
LG has officially unveiled its much-rumoured LG G3 device, succeeding the LG G2 that it launched in September last year and bringing with it a number of exciting features.
The question is however, has LG done enough with its new flagship to take on its current competition and win over the hearts of those looking to upgrade. Here we are comparing the LG G3 to the Samsung Galaxy S5 to see which Android device comes out on top in terms of specs and where the differences lie between them.
The LG G3 has a bigger, sharper display
The LG G3 features a 5.5-inch display compared to the 5.1-inch screen offered by the Samsung Galaxy S5 so LG's offering gives you an extra 0.4-inches but it isn't just size that matters.
LG's newest flagship also ramps up the resolution to 2560 x 1440 pixels, giving it a pixel density of 538ppi, while the Galaxy S5 has a 1920 x 1080 resolution that provides a pixel density of 431ppi.
In terms of numbers the LG G3 is a clear winner when it comes to sharpness and clarity as there is a big step up in the amount of pixels per inch but it's worth remembering that we did think the display on the S5 was great when we reviewed it.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is smaller and lighter
When it comes to the design of these two devices, it will ultimately boil down to personal preference so it is difficult to put one over the other here.
The LG G3 measures 146.3 x 74.6 x 8.9mm and weighs 149g compared to the Samsung Galaxy S5 that measures 142 x 72.5 x 8.1mm and hits the scales at 145g so the LG G3 is slightly larger, thicker and ever so slightly heavier than the Galaxy S5.
The Galaxy S5 takes a plastic, textured removable rear path, while the LG G3 takes a smooth, metal approach and both handsets have their own design features on the rear.
LG opts for a slightly redesigned signature volume rocker that was originally launched on the LG G2 and adds a camera sensor and twin-tone flash, while Samsung introduced a heart rate sensor to the rear of the Galaxy S5.
Both come in a string of colours with LG offering gold, gunmetal, white, red and purple compared to Samsung's blue, gold, white and black options.
Samsung has also added water-resistance to its Galaxy S5, while LG has steered clear despite the rumours so the Galaxy S5's IP67 rating can be completely submerged in water down to one metre before it faces issues but the LG G3 needs to be kept above land.
Both devices have the same processor
If you aren't leaning towards either device based on its individual design then the speed of the processor under its hood isn't going to help sway you either as both feature the same chip.
The LG G3 and the Samsung Galaxy S5 both opt for the 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and 2GB of RAM so you should find the performance of a similar standard in both. An LG G3 variant with 3GB of RAM will be available too, but the company is yet to reveal in what region(s) that might be released.
We found the navigation of the user interface to be a little slower than we thought it should be when we reviewed the Galaxy S5 so we will certainly be testing the limits of the LG G3's performance when we get it in for full review.
You'll get the same maximum amount of storage on both devices, and both have 16GB and 32GB models, although we're not yet sure which will be available for the UK version of the LG G3. Both come with microSD slots for storage expansion.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 has a larger camera sensor
It's almost impossible to compare the camera's on the LG G3 and the Samsung Galaxy S5 without having reviewed them both but in terms of numbers, the Samsung Galaxy S5 offers a 16-megapixel rear camera in comparison to the LG G3's 13-megaixel snapper.
We thought the Galaxy S5 offered good camera performance when we tested it but we weren't as impressed with the LG G2 so hopefully the LG G3 will offer some improvements.
Both the LG G3 and the Galaxy S5 offer their own camera features with the Galaxy S5 having a very fast autofocus along with a selective focus mode and the LG G3 adding a laser auto focus and some exciting software tricks like a hand movement to take a selfie meaning you won't have half an arm in every one.
You will be able to capture 4K video on both devices and when we get the LG G3 in for review, we will let you know how we think the image quality compares to the Galaxy S5.
If you are interested in video calling or selfies, the LG G3 and Samsung Galaxy S5 both offer a 2.1-megapixel front-facing snapper.
The LG G3 has a bigger battery capacity
All the usual connectivity features are available on both the LG G3 and the Samsung Galaxy S5 so this section isn't likely to sway you one way or another either, but the battery is slightly bigger on the LG G3.
The Galaxy S5 offers a 2800mAh battery capacity compared to the 3000mAh found in the LG G3 so the numbers would suggest you will get a little more life out of the latter handset, but we will test this when we get it in for review.
We were impressed with the Galaxy S5's battery life and so we will be expecting good things from the LG G3 too.
From the specs, these two devices sit pretty neck-in-neck aside from the larger and higher resolution display on the LG G3.
The designs are quite different so it's likely you will immediately prefer one over the other and given that they have the same processor, storage and connectivity, there aren't too many other factors that would tip the seesaw in a either direction.
If it's a 2K display you want then the LG G3 is the device for you and you get a slightly bigger battery capacity with that too.
However, if you are into the sensor and fitness craze then the Galaxy S5 is probably your bag as you get the fingerprint sensor and heart rate sensor, along with a few more megapixels on the camera. Decisions, decisions.

European Cultural Channel ARTE Selects ViewCast Media Server to Manage Growing Media Assets
PLANO, Texas â December 16, 2009 â ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of professional-quality video over IP and mobile networks, today announced that French-German cultural channel ARTE (Association Relative à la Télévision Européenne) has purchased ViewCastâs unified, end-to-end digital asset management solution, ViewCast Media Server (VMS). VMS is based on the technology assets acquired from Ancept in March of this year. ARTEâs New-Technology/Multimedia sector, which manages the back office of various ARTE Internet sites, will use VMS to manage all of the departmentâs video and media assets. VMS will also support ARTEâs future video portal, which will ultimately serve as the entrance point to all of ARTEâs existing online media offerings, such as the award-winning ARTE+7 service.
âWe currently enjoy an excellent professional relationship with ViewCast and are successfully using several Niagara Pro encoders to deliver high quality content via our ARTE+7 website,â? said Mathias Weiler, leader of the New Technology/Multimedia sector at ARTE. âAfter evaluating a number of digital asset management solutions, we determined that VMS offers the advanced technical features that are critical for our unique and highly automated environment. These capabilities, together with the future possibility of seamless integration with our existing Niagara Pro encoders, distinguished VMS as the best, long-term investment option. ViewCastâs innovative technology will enable us to manage our growing media asset repository with greater efficiency and flexibility, and elevate our Internet presence to the next level.â?
ViewCast President and CEO Dave Stoner said, âCompanies like ARTE are experiencing a rapid proliferation of rich media assets that need to be managed effectively and intelligently across the organization so as to maximize productivity. Our Niagara Pro encoders have already proven their value by enabling ARTE to simplify its broadcast processes for the ARTE+7 site. The integration of our VMS digital asset management solution will further streamline ARTEâs workflows and provide them with the end-to-end infrastructure they need to successfully bring their new web portal to fruition.â?
With the flexibility to transcode between all common media formats and automate content delivery across heterogeneous production systems and distribution mediums, VMS equips ARTE to manage key business processes with minimal complexity. Seamless integration with ARTEâs existing production infrastructure further extends the value of VMS, helping ARTE save time and resources that might otherwise have been devoted to labor intensive system integration efforts and unnecessary technology expenditures.
ViewCast VMS provides a unified, end-to-end digital asset management platform that offers the power and scalability to manage the entire media lifecycle; it can ingest, manage and deliver video and other digital assets anywhere over the network. VMS utilizes IBM Content Manager as its middleware and repository and includes plug-ins that integrate with leading products, such as Telestream FlipFactoryâ¢, to provide a closed-loop and managed process for ingesting, transcoding and indexing audio and video content. It also provides sophisticated content distribution functionality, including the ability to schedule the delivery of content for a specific date and time. Users can also edit content directly through the web interface using browser-based editors, eliminating the need to download assets to the desktop and allowing quick and easy repurposing of video content through multiple platforms, i.e., broadband, mobile, traditional broadcast, etc.
More information about ViewCastâs digital asset management and video streaming solutions is available at www.viewcast.com.

Osteria de Medici Calgary
- b
- bobthebuilder Feb 3, 2008 10:04 AM
I have always wanted to try this restaurant in Kensington for the longest time. I might take my date there on Valentines day.
What are the reviews on this place??
They have the menu on their website . . .but no prices, do ppl know what the general price range is and what I'm looking as for the costs?
re: John Manzo
I agree, overpriced old school pretentiousness. IMHO there is much better Italian to be had in Calgary: Il Sogno, Capo, Da Guido and La Brezza to name just a few. I'm sure Osteria de Medici has fans, surely they couldn't be in business this long if they didn't...I'm just not one of them.
re: John Manzo
We had dinner at Osteria this Saturday (party of 2). The food was good (on the expensive end) but the service was severly lacking. It was not busy when we arrived and the service was atrocious. I must agree with previous postings - our waiter was pretentious, and ignored us to brown-nose the 'regulars'. He never asked as if we wanted drinks, we had to flag him down to place our orders - and then he was patronizing. It was a very frustrating experience. We will not be returning.
I also agree. Must be a safe haven for the glitterati because no other reason to choose them.
Lob one more onto the pile. The last time i went, they refused to serve us because of the way we were dressed. Mind you, this was 4 years ago, but i don't imagine things have improved much since then. When they did serve me before that, it was overpriced.
I went there about a year ago and had a great experience. The food was excellent and the service was wonderful. The server filled my wine glass several times but we were only charged for one glass. My after dinner tipsy coffee was also extremely generous on the pour. :)
My two companions and I were all wearing jeans (no holes) and slightly dressier shirts. Also, I had a blue mohawk at the time. I saw no sign of pretentiousness.
Maybe I was there on a good night but I would give it a shot if the food looks good to you.
re: jodyroo
I don't find them pretentious but I can find better Italian food elsewhere at the same price point. I have no quibble with service.
Just like entering a time machine and traveling directly to 1978. Unfortunately, you won't pay 1978 prices.
Earlier this year I was given a $100 g/c to Osteria, and I decided to take a female friend out to dinner as my treat. Our server was a little overzealous at times, almost like he was trying too hard to be our best friends, but aside from that the experience was good. The food was delicious, and the service was not disappointing by any means.
The problem came afterward. They did not apply the gift certificate to my bill, and 2 days later my credit card was charged $163, not $63 like it should have been. When I presented the gift certificate to the waiter as he brought the bill, he said that was no problem and that he would adjust the bill accordingly. Apparently he decided not to do so.
I went back on the Thursday (we ate on a Monday) and tried to get things sorted out. The waiter I dealt with was accommodating and seemed like he genuinely wanted to sort out the problem. I also ended up dealing with what seemed to be the owner/chef, and he too seemed like he wanted to make sure I was taken care of.
One week has passed and not a peep from them. I will call them tomorrow and basically give them an ultimatum. If this issue is not fixed right away I will contact Visa and dispute the charge.
re: fmanning
Just a note that I had dinner here again the other day (not my choice, nor my cash): Dreadful at any price, and ridiculously awful at their stratospheric prices. Boring, unimaginative, simplistic, tasteless food. Cost more per person than the last time I ate at Rush. This is, taking price into account, without a doubt the worst restaurant in Calgary. Well, except the service was good in an obsequious way---if you're 173 years old[*] and just want to be served bland food by someone who will fawn over you, this is your place.
[*] Actual average age of diners the night I went.
re: ChrisA
ChrisA, you owe me a new keyboard. Review of the year, so far.
re: John Manzo
Well I've been a few times, and I found it pretty good but overpriced. Most of the times I've been it wasn't my choice but I didn't find it "worst restaurant in Calgary" taking price into account (I've had worse).
What I'm really curious about is why ChrisA owes you a new keyboard. Did you spill an incompatible liquid on it laughing?
re: ChrisA
I'm with you on this Chris. I used to get taken here sometimes and it was always bad, overpriced food. Its almost like this place is a front for some other types of business activities. Terrible people here, bad food.
I went there for lunch once. The food was good, fairly generic italian and the price wasn't too bad for lunch. However... it's so close to the core that I'd recommend visiting Rush or one of the really hot, super nice places in the core. With the economy the way it is you can do much better for the same price.
re: AriaDream
Admittedly I haven't been to Osteria recently, but with one exception I've always had excellent service and excellent food. In fact I was introduced to the best calamari and tiramisu ever in Osteria.
My only negative experience was a Valentine's evening where the beef was stringy and tasteless.
I would go back in a minute, but not on Valentine's.
Osteria De Medici
201 10th Street NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1V5, CA
I went there with a large group of co workers for the new years. The service was very bad, the waiter was very rude, and to top it off the owner tried to scam us. He knew we were from out of town, and that we would only be in town for that night, so he tried to use that against us. We were overcharged by a huge amount, to the point where we had to complain. He finally dropped it to something that was still overcharging us, but we went ahead and paid it because we were sick and tired of dealing with it.
re: backstop35
In light of what I just read at the CTV.ca website, this thread is humourus.
Someone at the restaurant is quoted as complaining that the Edmonton Oilers left without paying their full, $18,000 bill after the players, family and no doubt "hangers on" spent New Years Eve there.
Allegations of overpricing ... overcharges ... reduced bill ...partial payment ...contending that the bill was now paid ....extra $ to go to charity...yeah right!!! ...
re: Bob Mac
There was a short segment about it as a lead in on Global today.
Never been there.
re: Bob Mac
Ugh. The owner truly seems a jackass after all of that - especially the parts where he mentions his staff won't get tips and the nonsense about the charitable donation. True class.
re: Leibowitz
Having never been to Osteria de Medici I have no comment on the food or service.
Why have I never been there? Aside from the utterly absurd prices for old school Italian?
Being a local, it's become pretty easy to gauge the whole operation's reputation. The owners are reputed to be truly horrible to their staff, and to patrons who don't have more money than brains. It's really seems to be an overpriced waxworks where the wealthy get stroked... And fleeced!
Of course, I'll take all of that with a grain of salt. However;
Having watched this grotesque public display of utter classlessness by the GM in the media, I am truly shocked.
That any establishment, when faced with such a financial disagreement with guests, whoever they are, would resort to such sanctimonious public mud slinging is as declasse an outfit that could exist.
And then to declare that you're giving the money away? Wow.
The simple truth is probably that this snobatorium is on its way out and this is merely a cheap, (very cheap) publicity stunt.
Hopefully, good riddance for 2010, Osteria!
re: seemac70
Finally, this a joint that actually brags about celebrities eating there on it's website...
Loretta Swit! Wow!
Steven Segal! Amazing!
Who could be at the next table?!?!? Jon and Kate? Octomom?
Hopefully, the next B-lister that comes in will pay in full, or else!
re: seemac70
Clearly I'm in the minority here, but if I were the owner I'd be pretty upset at the cheap, classless, favour seeking millionaires.
The Oilers-who were well oiled at an average of about ten drinks per person (see the bill in the Herald)-pulled a classless stunt. They can read menus like everyone else and knew the costs before ordering. And I have seen no mention that the Oilers had a problem with either the food or the service, merely that they felt they deserved special treatment.
And finally, I think that the owner made the donation gesture to show that the situation was a matter of principle, not merely money.
One more finally-never been to the restaurant, and probably never will, it's just not my nature to pay for the pleasure of eating at the "establishments of the stars",-where anyone with more than a double digit IQ knows that the prices will be higher than the quality of the meal.
re: Scary Bill
I doubt we are actually getting the full story here, from either side. From what I've seen, they were presented with a bill charging for individual drinks and thought they were only to be charged for bottles. That's pretty common for large parties I think. Maybe it was pre-arranged but someone forgot when they were ringing it all up - bill comes, there's a mistake on it, some drunk complains a bit too loudly. It gets fixed... Or maybe it wasn't prearranged but they felt they should get that price if it is offered in a private room. Whatever.... who cares? This is one of the stupidest things to hit the news in a long time.
re: backstop35
backstop- hopefully you and other out-of-towners (like a big group from Toronto in town for an event tonight) will realize that there are other restos in Calgary than this overrated one.
I haven't eaten at Osteria de Medici. However, out of curiousity I looked at the online menu.
They have nine appetizers, four soups, five salads, forty-three "entrees" (which seems to include primi and secondi), and six desserts. Regions represented range from Campania to Abruzzo to Liguria. I lived in Italy (Torino) for two years and have only ever seen an Italian menu of that breadth once before- at Olive Garden in northeast Calgary. A hallmark of Italian cooking is supposed to be regionality, and while I certainly ate my fair share of buffalo mozzarella and cannoli in Torino, it was more from street vendors at the neighbourhood market than from fine dining restaurants. The upscale restaurants in Torino all served Piemontese food, be it bagna cauda (eeew!) or bicerin (yay!). The all-over-the-map menu might be up Loretta Swit's alley (I seriously have no idea who that is), but the simple stochasticity of the menu is a huge turn off for me.
Additionally, I think it's a huge mistake for Osteria de Medici to be touting their celebrity followers. Loretta Swit aside, the photo of Kevin Costner looks to be from his Dancing with Wolves days, and I'm pretty sure that photo of Tom Selleck is from before I was born. None of the reviews on the site are dated, however they talk of appearing on the Mike Bullard Show (which aired at 12:05 am weeknights over five months spanning 2003 and 2004), the Vicki Gabereau Show (which hasn't aired in five years) and... best of all... the Dini Petty Show, which last filmed in NINETEEN NINETY-SIX!
I think Osteria de Medici did themselves a huge disservice by approaching the media before taking an objective look at their image and how they market themselves. That being said, I'll probably go there this week, as I'm currently looking for a boyfriend in the NHL and management doesn't seem to have thought of being discrete about upcoming reservations!
re: Jetgirly
I agree Jetgirly, this restaurant really blew it by calling up the media to help sort this one out for them. I'm a die-hard Calgary Flames fan, and nothing pleases me more than seeing the Edmonton Oilers lose, but this crosses the line big time.
I've got to admit that I've never eaten there before (I live in California now) but my parents have been there many times. I asked them about it this morning and my father says he's been there many times for diners hosted by people in his industry, and he says it was delicious but glad he wasn't picking up the tab. My mother also said the food was good, but she does the accounting for her firm and twice they have gone there for a work party, and on BOTH occasions she got home (and because she had to account for ever dollar spent) and realized that the restaurant had overcharged them by at least a $100.
Obviously this place is popular with large groups and they have gotten into the routine of throwing more than a few extra drinks, among other things, on the bill figuring no one would notice. Personally, I don't care how good the food may seem to be if the owners are unscrupulously ripping off their customers. It just makes me wonder what else they are doing that they don't want anyone to know about. That's the funny thing about karma: this restaurant owner thought he would really stick it to the Oilers and that Calgarians would get a good chuckle at their expense. However, it seems he's inadvertently shined a big bright light onto his own sleazy business practices. I was born and raised in Calgary, and I am embarrassed this place exists in my hometown. I hope the word gets out and they go out of business.
re: Jetgirly
So true. Very few really good places have menus that big. I probably got lucky and picked something they do very well when I went there for lunch. Olive Garden is like that, actually... sometimes the food is great and sometimes it's terrible.
re: AriaDream
In the wake of this bizarre spectacle, I must really agree with Manzo's comment...
All sorts of great places to eat here in Calgary.
Places that are trying hard to be the best they can be, and that would relish the opportunity to welcome me, you, or even the Edmonton Oilers Hockey Club!
re: seemac70
Agreed that there are far better places to eat in Calgary than Osteria but the one thing they have going for it that sets it apart from the vast majority of places in Calgary is their private dining room. I would assume this was the main selling point in the Oilers hockey team going there. There are not many places in Calgary that can accomodate a group that size that provides the privacy Osteria does.
re: DeeDub
I think a lot of people would argue food quality & service is more important than privacy. IMHO there are plenty of places around Calgary withbetter food and service along with private rooms that could accomodate large groups. La Dolce Vita is another "old school" type Italian place that could fit the bill. Even some of the smaller venues could be booked for the evening for the kind of money they were paying.
re: DeeDub
According to this article, it was more a case of short notice.
Where could you book the same day on NYE with a big group?
"The team had intended to set out for San Jose after a game against the Flames but was forced to lay over due to the unexpected change in airport restrictions to the United States. They set off in a party of approximately 45 to the Osteria De Medici, a fine restaurant in the city's Kensington area that, sources say, had been recommended by Calgary captain Jarome Iginla, himself a native of Edmonton."
The Flames actually eat there quite a bit.
This part seems fairly mercenary (even if it is for a good cause).
"A day later, when approached by The Globe and Mail for an interview, Mr. Terrigno sought to strike a deal for $1,000 to talk to the newspaper, saying he would be turning over the money to a relief fund for earthquake victims in L'Aquila, Italy. He said he already had struck a deal from a television network, that his story was "100 per cent accurate" and that the money raised was "for the betterment, not of myself, but of people who deserve the money.""
re: cancowboy
A group of 45 on NYE expecting to get service with no reservation? Bad form imho. Somehow I think it was their status that got them in to the restaurant.
re: maplesugar
This just in:
AGLC is investigating the Osteria for "over serving alcohol."
(CBC Radio)
re: seemac70
Ha ha, this thread is pretty funny! I like the seafood at Osteria de Medici, but that's something that most Italian places seem to do well. I've been there for Valentine's and although my husband made a reservation, when we got there it ended up being first come, first served (basically the reservation meant nothing).
They are snobby bastards, though. Can I say that?
re: seemac70
Hmph. If the change to the laws happened right on New Years day I'd hope they'd give the restaurants a bit of slack.
Although I did find it amusing that the local news said Osteria had refused comment unless they got money...
re: AriaDream
The laws didn't change on New Years Day, just who has to have training, it used to be only one person per shift (usually the manager) but now it's everyone.
The cost of the bar tab doesn't mean that much, you don't get any drunker on Dom Perignon than Baby Duck, but it does sound like the party might have got a little out of hand. Especially the swig out of a bottle of brandy as some reports said - if true, definitely illegal. With all that security footage it shouldn't be hard to figure out what happened.
This is an amusing thread.
As for the Oilers incident...there is just something that doesn't pass the smell test here. Approaching the media with this story was very gauche. There were many better ways to deal with this, if a serious issue actually existed. Other than pure vanity and self promotion, Osteria had no reason to call up the local media - This does not reflect well on the character of the owners.
Considering how they dealt with these celebrities, why would others even consider going there. Imagine if Brad Pitt had a problem with the bill, would it be on the front page of the SUN the next day??
As for the restaurant itself...I've eaten in the private dining room with about a dozen people, it was a corporate thing and the room itself was very nice. The service was good and if you're looking for privacy, it fits the bill quite nicely.
As for the food...I can't really remember a single dish, which says something because I can recite virtually every course I've ever had at Capo and IL Sogno.

When fall is in full swing and Thanksgiving nears, I find myself thinking more about cooking. I don't normally think about cooking, let's just be honest. Eating, yes. But cooking? Not as much. But there's something about fall and the approaching holidays that makes me want to cook ALL THE THINGS. And bake ALL THE THINGS, too.
Every season, I start pulling out all the cookbooks that I feel inspired by. It changes with the seasons. Sometimes I just pick out a few favorites and put them front and center on my shelves because their covers or titles make me feel all cozy. Sometimes the recipes seem put me in the mood to whip up something yummy.
I often have so much fun looking at them that sometimes I forget that I actually need to make dinner, but the truth is they do inspire me with the idea of slowing down to be more creative and mindful of the food we make in the kitchen. They are a reminder that the kitchen really is the heart of the home. It's where we nurture our family in so many ways, so I really admire women who can cook and bake and make it feel so worth it and even effortless!
It's interesting being a home decor blogger because decorating has been my hobby my entire life. So now that I do the blog and am writing all these books on the home, I have started to realize I need a new hobby. Ha!
So, maybe that's why I'm a stalker of all the food bloggers.
One time I even got to hang out with them and listen to all their amazing foodie talk. I'm sure I looked like a fangirl. There are so many I love, I just can't even list them all here… Gimme Some Oven, Skinny Taste, Reluctant Entertainer, Add a Pinch, Bakerella, The Pioneer Woman, Bake at 350, I Am Baker, SEE Salt, Cookies & Cups, Bake Your Day, The Little Kitchen, Love and Olive Oil, Kevin and Amanda, TidyMom, Spoon and Saucer, 101 Cookbooks and so many more. So many lovely ladies, filling the world with deliciousness, teaching me their tips and inspiring me to want to try new things.
I suddenly find myself wanting to have cooking decorating parties, bake cakes with surprises inside, bake my own bread and make pot roasts with mashed potatoes. I actually made Pioneer Woman's pot roast and mashed potatoes the other day and it was SO yummy! Now I want to make pot roast again, but instead I made sweet potato fries while I was writing this post.
Some of these favorite bloggers even have cookbooks! I don't have all of them (yet) but they are all on my Christmas list. I collect and enjoy cookbooks all the time, even if I never master cooking! I just feel like food bloggers and wonderful cookbook authors have given me the best gift by writing books about food and nurturing their families in the kitchen. It's one of my favorite things about fall!
Are you a follower of food bloggers (or are you a food blogger?!!)?
Do you love cooking and baking?
Tell me some of your favorite food bloggers or some of your must-make favorite dishes this time of year!
Bread Matters // Surprise-Inside Cakes // The New Midwestern Table // Wintersweet // Decorating Cookies Party // Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays // What to Cook & How to Cook It // Leon: Naturally, Fast Food // Jerusalem // A Boat, A Whale, and a Walrus

Someone To Love Lyrics - Babyface
Review The Song (6)
written by Babyface (1995)
performed by Jon B. Featuring Babyface
Don't even like to think about it
I don't know what I would do without it
I only know I live and I breathe for your love
Baby you came to me in my time of need
When I needed you, you were there for me
Baby, the love from you is what got me through
It's because of you I was able to
Give my heart again, you gave me
Someone to love
Someone to touch
Someone to hold
Oh someone to know
Someone to love
Someone to trust
Someone to hold
Oh someone to know
I thought I'd never love again
I thought my life was over and
I didn't want to face, or even see another day
Suddenly from no where, babe you appeared
You dried my tears, you cared. for me
Maybe your love for me, it's true it rescued me,
It's because of you, I was able to
Fall in love again, you gave me
For so long in my life, I wouldn't let love inside
But I swallowed my pride the day you arrived
And now that you're by my side
Everything is all right

Someone to Love | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/20/10
This song is so beautiful. Recently, I connected with someone I knew when I was growing up. He informed me that he has always had strong feelings about me and that he remembers the conversations we used to have. We have been conversing with one another, trying to decide whether we should meet face to face again and see if there is a connection to each other. what he doesn't realize is that he came back into my life at a time when just as the song says "I thought I'd never love again
I thought my life was over and
I didn't want to face, or even see another day
Suddenly from no where, babe you appeared.." It has already changed me. I don't know if we will share a future together but I do know it has filled my heart. I hope he is the one for me. How could I not want to know him?

Damond, I Love You For Being Here For Me! | Reviewer: Mrs. Damond Morris | 7/28/10
I am a HUGE Babyface fan and this song REALLY touches my soul. My mother died this year and my son's father came back into my life just a few days before she died unexpectedly. He has been here for us since and without his love and support I don't know where I'd be right now. The Lord used him to draw me closer to the Lord and I am happier now than I have been in years because I now have my soulmate permanently back in our lives! Although I miss my mother tremendously, I believe that things happen for a reason. I just want to thank my lover, my friend and my soon to be husband for loving me and for caring for me and for making my loss a little easier to cope with day by day. I love you, Damond! FOREVER!!!

Surface tablet's touch cover is ZX81 REBORN
The Surface tablet's Touch Cover is eerily reminiscent of typing on a ZX81, The Register can report after fondling one of the elusive (to non Microsoft-adoring press) computers at the Australian launch of Windows 8. To do so, we elbowed aside other media and scored a few minutes on a Surface running Windows RT. We were able to …
Now you've done it
You posted something positive about Windows 8. The anti-Microsoft brigade will be along shortly to correct you.
Re: Now you've done it
What's wrong with posting nice things about the touch side of Windows 8? It's what the OS was designed for. After nerfing the workstation portion of the OS, the touch side had damned well better bring me to climax!
No, he posted something nice about the Surface tablet
I want one of those too! But I'm not at all interested in its pre-installed operating system.
Re: Now you've done it
The cheap keyboard is a bit better than a ZX81, and the dear one a bit better than a Speccy- that's positive?
Re: Now you've done it
It is a positive if it comes with some of the old Spectrum games. =3
Re: Now you've done it
Emulator, Roms, Kempston Joystick and a usb adapter and you're done :D
Daley's Decathlon...
... and a good warranty on the keyboard. What could possibly go wrong?
Re: Now you've done it
@Trevor: in my *personal* opinion, there's nothing wrong with it. I actually am quite enjoying Windows 8, in fact, but the general response amongst El Reg commentards is that any positive response to Windows 8 must be met with downvotes and vitriol.
I Swype
But I can see the attraction of a real keyboard /stand combo.
Looks like an interesting bit of kit from a productivity point of view.
Mix and Match
I remember when audio equipment consisted of separate mix and match components - pre-amp, graphic equalizer, power amp (I don't know, maybe it still does).
Wouldn't it be nice if you could wirelessly connect a screen of your choice of dimensions and resolution to a pocketable device running your favourite combination of CPU, GPU and OS.
Of course, that would require an agreement on standards, so it will never happen.
In the meantime I'll stick to my Windows 7 desktop PC and my Android phone.
Re: Mix and Match
And those hifi systems took up a lot of space and cables. New audio gear, and laptops, have all their components squeezed and integrated into as small a space as possible.
Your modular plan would require you to accept a bit of wasted space - so if you really want to carry around an ATX-sized laptop, then that could probably be arranged.
Wireless screens have been done, but
They tended to be expensive and didn't catch on. I think I remember hearing about one where the screen was a Windows CE device running the remote desktop software, or something, and it cost about a thousand dollars.
What you can do, of course, is get a slim tablet containing screen and PC, and use Bluetooth wireless peripherals, for a wireless virtual docking station.
Although I wonder if that is part of the reason why my Dell Latitude ST (Windows 7 tablet) frequently goes completely unresponsive for a full sixty seconds - I'm using a Bluetooth mouse on its underside while pushing the cursor around with the stylus. But no - I think it also happens if I use it without the mouse. This leads up to looking for a Windows 8 full-fat tablet that isn't from Dell, although I also might upgrade my touch-only Fizzbook Spin up from Windows XP, instead. It's heavier than some new tablets, though.
"........that would require an agreement on standards, so it will never happen."
I'm a little more optimistic. It requires after all little more than the tablet producer manufacturing a powered dock suited to the device concerned with standard ports (full size USBs + HDMI etc). You could then connect what the heck you liked to it. Dell have just launched a Windows 8 device with that sort of setup (don't ask about the resolution though - that just starts me off and explains why I won't be buying that particular device!). However, my point is that such devices do exist and can be readily manufactured by any OEM willing to do so. Furthermore developments within chippery expected next year should go a long way to realising the device you desire.
Touch Cover better than laptop keyboard?
0:53: .. "that is Touch Cover .. it uses unique pressure sensing technology that actually senses your typing as gestures. So it can actually allow you to put your fingers down on the home position, find your home position. You can actually rest there it doesn't fire off keys but when you start touch typing on it, it actually registers those key press or the gestures as key presses and that allows me to type at fifty two words a minute. I type at fifty on a laptop keyboard of a similar size and then Type Cover allows me to .. this one's sixty two for me but it would vary by the person .." link
I must say I am curious, but the ASUS Transformer series still seems to fit my needs a bit better (that and a fast 13 or 14" notebook with good graphics grunt)
It's a halfway house between an on-screen keyboard and a laptop keyboard. At least you won't get crumbs in it.
The key question for me...
is whether you can fold the keyboard back under the tablet, so that you can use it as a tablet without having to detach the keyboard and carry that separately. Its been the deal breaker for every otherwise decent ipad keyboard and android keyboard I've seen so far, except for an expensive and fairly bulky Belkin one.
Re: The key question for me...
Yes you can (and it disables the keyboard when you do). You can also fold it flat on the desk behind the tablet when using the kickstand (i.e. under the foot of the kickstand), so you don't need to take it off then either. They pointed out yesterday that the folded back cover actually makes quite a nice surface (ha!) for the kickstand to rest on if you want to stand it on your lap.
I believe I made this comparison about four months ago.
(IIRC the ZX80 keyboard was thinner than the ZX81's so probably a better match).
The Interface Formerly Known as Metro
Can we have a shorter version of TIFKAM? A single symbol, perharps? ☿?
Re: The Interface Formerly Known as Metro
Prince, is that you?
Is there some sort of award
from the using the phrase "your correspondent " as often as possible in a short article?
Award for the first person to create
A ZX81 emulator, using a bitmap of the old keyboard as the interface at the bottom of the screen.
Pendant alert
>>start a swipe off the screen, a technique pioneered on the BlackBerry Playbook<<
I first experienced this on the Palm Pre 2, where the black area under the screen is touch enabled, swipe up to minimise, swipe left and right to switch between minimised apps or views in the current app. It's a great idea because developers can't fuss it like they can a touch area with display underneath...
Foolishly HP dropped this for the touchpad though, making minimising an app and scrolling the page impossible to differentiate, yet another stupid HP tablet decision...
Re: Pendant alert
I quite like this "swipe off the screen" on PlayBook, works well for gestures which have no obvious reference to screen. Esp. like sweep left below screen in Android runtime, which replaces back button!
Re: Pendant alert
I heard Steven Sinofsky claim 'No hidden gestures'. Which was clearly a swipe at RIM/HP and even Apple. It annoyed me because WinRT/8 is FULL of hidden gestures.

My Blog
This Is Why The World Is Headed For A Frightening Implosion
With continued uncertainty in markets around the world, today James Turk warned King World News about why the world is headed for a frightening implosion. Turk also discussed a remarkable problem the United States faces, which will eventually rock the entire globe and shock investors on all continents.
© 2014 by King World News®. All Rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast,
rewritten, or redistributed. However, linking directly to the blog page is permitted and encouraged.
March 17, 2014
Turk: "Late Friday the Federal Reserve released the audit for its annual accounts as of December 31, 2013, Eric. This report is raising eyebrows over here in London, and rightly so....
Continue reading the James Turk interview below...
To hear which company has one of the highest grade gold projects in
one of the world's most mining friendly countries and offers
investors massive blue sky click on the logo below:
"The Financial Times reported this past weekend that 'The US Federal Reserve has unrealized losses of $53.2 billion on its securities portfolio,' which as of December 31st had grown to a gargantuan $3,952.4 billion as a result of the Fed's QE program. This marked-to-market loss renders the Fed virtually insolvent considering that its net worth is only $55.0 billion.
The $1.8 billion difference is more than eliminated if one prudently applies even a small haircut against the Fed's $71.7 billion of remaining assets - including those it still owns from the 2008 financial crisis - to allow for a fair market value of the illiquid, intangible and doubtful assets of questionable value that the Fed owns.
What this means, Eric, is that with a negative net worth, the Fed's debts are greater than its assets. In this regard, the Fed's true financial condition is not much different from many of the large banks around the world when eliminating the accounting gimmicks that enable banks to sidestep the true market value of the assets they hold.
These banks keep their doors open for business because they have sufficient liquid assets to provide the illusion of solvency, but they are essentially the 'walking dead.' In essence, the Fed is bankrupt. What's worse, they will become even more bankrupt if interest rates continue to rise because the true market price of any fixed rate assets they own - like bonds and mortgages - will decline as interest rates rise.
But KWN readers won't be surprised to learn that the Federal Reserve is insolvent by any prudent accounting measure. You and I already discussed this point last year CLICK HERE. And now the Fed's own report of its financial condition confirms it. As I said back then:
"The Federal Reserve is already insolvent, but like all banks, they get around this reality with accounting gimmicks."
The gimmicks are still there, Eric. It requires some digging to determine the Fed's true financial picture. You have to dig to Page 29 of the Fed's financial report to find the true market value of its securities portfolio.
The banks get away with this sleight of hand because they mark assets to market value only when the asset is in a bank's "trading" portfolio. If the bank claims it will hold the asset to maturity, the asset is put into its "investment" portfolio and does not need to be marked to market, thereby avoiding the resulting impact on the bank's net worth. This accounting gimmick masks the true value of the asset, enabling banks to make their balance sheet look better. It's called "window dressing."
But even when presented in the best light, the Fed is still showing a leverage of 73-to-1. In other words, its liabilities are 73 times greater than its assets, which is a level of debt that would make even the most aggressive hedge funds blush. All of this raises a critical question, Eric: Who is going to bail out the Fed? If anyone thinks the U.S. government will do it, think again. Here's another shocker: Even the US government is wiped out.
The U.S. government recently released the annual audit of its accounts as of September 30, 2013. By its own reckoning, the U.S. government's negative net worth is $16.9 trillion. That "trillion" with a "t", and that doesn't even include all the other liabilities for which it is on the hook and not reported in its annual accounts.
Here's the bottom line as I see it, Eric: We are nearing the end of the era of fiat currencies that are backed by nothing but hot air from the promises of politicians. We still use these national currencies, but the risks are growing as the level of debts grows.
Sadly, most people are blind to these risks because it has been 41 years since the dollar was last backed by gold. Over this time people have lost sight of what money really is, and what I call the Money Bubble has been created as a result. But we know from monetary history that when this bubble pops and fiat currencies are destroyed, gold and silver will be the last things standing."
