text: Be honest, how much time have you spent on eBay? Either desperately searching for that perfect pair of shoes that you passed up when you saw them in store and are praying that someone's stuck them on eBay, or watching that great vintage leather satchel hoping that it won't go for more than £20. Well when you realise that five pairs of jeans, 19 pairs of shoes, 18 t-shirts and four handbags are bought every minute on eBay, it's safe to say that we all spend lots of time on there, trying to pick up a fashion bargain. And now eBay are making it even easier for us by launching the eBay Fashion Outlet, a new discount fashion online store. Offering goodies from high street labels like Karen Millen, Office, House of Fraser, Ted Baker, Kookai, La Redoute and Ted Baker, at up to 70% off, this will surely be a number one shopping destination for any style bargain hunter!

staff," he insisted. "They're beyond my intellect. I'm a dinosaur, an absolute dinosaur, but what I am… I'm a winner."
And how. His haul of 13 English league titles is two more than Bob Paisley, Bill Shankly and Brian Clough combined, and this latest challenge has once again brought the Govan street fighter out swinging. Dethroned as champions six times in his Old Trafford rule, he has now brought the title straight back on five occasions.
This time, dropped points against City and West Ham have lengthened the odds of setting a new record points total for the Premier League, but that shouldn't mask the fact that the Reds' reaction to losing the league was to set an all-time top flight record for a start to the season: a staggering 25 wins from 30 games. Far from being history, United have re-written it this term.
Roberto Mancini identified how United have done it during his post-Tottenham press conference, admitting the Reds deserve the title because: "They have more attitude, they want it." Digest the maddening amount of comebacks in the first half of the season, when crippling defensive injuries were overcome by sheer, bloody-minded refusal to accept even a share of the spoils. After that free-flowing abandon had established a seven-point lead going into the turn of the year, it became a matter of wading through games thereafter.
Of course, some are never satisfied. Detractors who bemoaned five months of porous defending have been just as vocal in opposition to the calm, controlled course United have plotted through the second half of the campaign.
Last year, were City's celebrations muted by the knowledge that United's complacency was the major factor that handed them the title, or the fact that QPR's titanic defensive resolve sunk the moment they discovered they were safe from relegation? Not at all, and nor should they be. A title won is a title to savour, invariably won by the best team, and the emergence of City has broadened all emotional parameters for United fans. Lows are lower, highs much higher.
So savour it. There will most likely be a response from the Etihad Stadium next season, while others can also throw themselves into the mix – a stabilised Chelsea would contend

I can be a control freak. So when it was time to produce a video for the Kegbot Kickstarter Campaign, we had to do it ourselves.
Shooting the video was a mysterious, time-consuming, frustrating, and rewarding process all in one.
A big reason we were able to do it was thanks to exhaustive Google research on other projects, and on amateur filmmaking in general. In an attempt to give back (and on the off chance it can benefit someone else), here are a few notes and observations from the process.

Microsoft boots 1,500 dodgy apps from the Windows Store

I have a WP (Nakia 625) and I have created an app relatively easily. However, I had to install a trial version of Windows 8 to install the development kit. Now that my Windows 8 trial has expired, I am not going to develop any WP8 apps, since no way in hell I am going to pay for Windows 8.
Krzanich: NO new Intel 14nm Broadwell chip for YOU, world, until 2014
re: [no] laptops with Haswell (22nm) processors available to buy
Haswell architecture is employed in new desktop CPUs (LGA1150 socket), as well as in laptop and low-power applications.
> Unless machines with Haswell processors are widely available
Yes, they are. In fact, I has just bought a PC based on i5 4670k ("4th gen" or Haswell arch).

Statistics & lies
"The GetSafeOnline.org survey showed that almost one in five (19 per cent) have lost money as a result of cyber criminals. ... a successful attack costing, on average, £247 per person."
So really, an average cost of a cyber attack is £247*(chance to get robbed = 0.19) = £46.93. Not much. Certainly not enough to justify the inconvenience of changing passwords regularly.
Game designers deconstruct their 'art'
I only tried to play Oblivion and had finished Follout III. Frankly, the story of both games did not impress me much. Nice graphics in Fallout III, but this is not the fault of the game designer.
AMD: 'At heart, we're a design company'
Dead end
Dessau: "the speed of the processor no longer determines the experience of the end user"
This guy is delusional. Just because it costs more than ever to develop a new manufacturing process that makes chips faster does not mean users do not want faster processors. I, for one, want a CPU that is 10 times faster. I do not want 10 slow CPUs on one die as a substitute.
Previously, part of the profit generated by selling older generation chips went to subsidise the development of faster, newer generation of semiconductors. It may seem sub-optimal to a marketing person like Dessau, obviously he wants to concentrate on profit generation, not development, but let us see where this fab-lessness leads.
The costly process development is outsourced to The Foundry. Why would The Foundry want to spend billions upon billions of $ to create a process comparable to the latest Intel or IBM process? It is not where the profit lies. The most profitable are one-generation-older chips, I think. So a design company like AMD would not be able to make a CPU faster than Intel's, unless AMD pays same billions to The Foundry for development. If it does not, it would have to design chips using old technology. This would mean an end of AMD as a competitor to Intel on the "fastest CPU" market. We'll be stuck with Intel's monopoly.

Porsche Panamera – Hybrid Now is Sri Lanka
The combustion engine is assisted by a 47 hp electric motor incorporated between the transmission and the engine. The motor is supplied by a high-voltage nickel-metal hydride battery located below the floor of the rear luggage compartment.
Together, the two units develop a maximum total system output of 380 hp and a maximum system torque of 428 lb.-ft. and accelerate the Panamera S Hybrid from 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds. Top track speed is 167 mph. This is achieved with fuel consumption of just 7.1 l/100 km.
The interplay between combustion engine, electric motor and high-voltage battery is regulated by the electronic engine management system. It engages and disengages the combustion engine by means of a specially developed separating coupling. Thanks to the rapid-action separating coupling and the equally fast response of the combustion engine, these processes are performed comfortably and smoothly. You do not need to adapt to the system.
Panamera S Hybrid: Fuel consumption* in (l/100 km) urban 7.6 · extra urban 6.8 · combined 7.1 · CO2 emissions 167 g/km

Toyota Prius Hybrid Car Review
As with many of Toyota's vehicles, the Prius has become a standard-bearer in its segment. While many automakers have yet to even develop a gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle, Toyota is already on its third generation of the Prius. This four-door hybrid has become a hit with consumers because of its stellar fuel economy, relatively uncompromised driving and acceleration characteristics and reasonable price.
The Toyota Prius (its name comes from Latin and means "to go before") exists as a partial solution to the automobile's problem of tailpipe emissions. The Prius, like other hybrid vehicles, has a special powertrain that combines a gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine with an electric motor. This powertrain, along with other advanced features, allows the Prius to deliver higher fuel economy and lower emissions compared to regular cars.
Due to its popularity and relatively long sales history, Toyota's original hybrid car is a strong candidate for a shopper interested in a used hybrid vehicle. So far, it seems Toyota's reputation for reliability and durability is holding true for the Prius. Early concerns about long-term durability have turned out to be mostly unfounded. However, potential buyers of a used Prius should take extra care during the research process. As the Toyota Prius is quite complex, future repairs and part replacements could be quite expensive.
Current Toyota Prius
The Toyota Prius was completely redesigned for 2010. However, it remains a four-door hatchback that seats five people. The car's hybrid powertrain consists of a 1.8-liter gasoline engine that produces 98 horsepower and 105 pound-feet of torque that's used in conjunction with two electric motors and a special planetary gearset that functions as a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Total system power is 134 hp.
Under full acceleration, both power sources work together to provide maximum oomph. But under lighter load conditions such as stop-and-go traffic, the Prius alternates between the two, often running on battery power alone. This maximizes the car's fuel economy potential. A regenerative braking system converts energy normally lost as heat into electricity to charge the car's battery pack. The current powertrain is a little more robust on the highway than the previous-generation car, although not really any quicker away from a traffic light. It is more fuel-efficient, however, with an EPA combined fuel economy estimate of 50 mpg — which is tops in the hybrid game.
Other changes for this new model include a more sculpted take on the iconic hybrid shape established by its predecessor. The interior was given a more radical overhaul, with a more conventional center control stack than the old car. The hybrid system display now resides high up on the dash next to the digital speedometer, while stereo and climate controls are laid out in a traditional manner with physical buttons rather than a touchscreen (which reappears if you order the optional navigation system). The result is a car that's easier to acclimate to. It's also a bit more comfortable for taller drivers, thanks to a height-adjustable seat and a telescoping steering wheel.
One thing that hasn't changed is the Prius' superb interior packaging, which helps extends the car's appeal beyond simple fuel efficiency. Its hatchback body style allows for an impressive amount of cargo to be lugged around, while a surprisingly commodious backseat makes it a plausible replacement for a family sedan or compact SUV.
In reviews, we've found the current Toyota Prius to build upon its revolutionary predecessor's successful formula of fuel efficiency and versatility. It's now a more normal car to drive and use, making it easier to transition from a traditional car. While Honda's less expensive but smaller Insight is worth a test-drive, those looking for a hybrid should still start their search with the Toyota Prius.
Used Toyota Prius Models
The second-generation Toyota Prius was produced for the 2004-'09 model years. It sat five people in a four-door hatchback body that provided extra versatility in terms of carrying items. This Prius' hybrid powertrain was the same in concept as the current third-generation model, but it featured a smaller, 1.5-liter gasoline engine that produced 76 horsepower and 82 pound-feet of torque. With the electric motor spinning out power, peak net hp was 110.
Aside from its hybrid system upgrades, most buyers will find the interior to be the biggest area of difference between the second-generation model and the current Prius. The dashboard and controls were unconventional and futuristic, with stereo, climate, vehicle system and optional navigation controls residing in a touchscreen interface. There were steering wheel buttons for frequently used items, but ultimately, too much was put under the jurisdiction of the touchscreen (which could wash out in sunlight). The odd gear-selector action of today's Prius was carried over from this generation, but then it was mounted on the dash. Another important difference to note is the lack of a telescoping steering wheel and height adjustment, making for an even more awkward driving position for taller people.
During its successful tenure in Toyota's lineup, this second-generation Prius received minor changes. For 2006, a back-up camera, leather upholstery, leather-wrapped steering wheel and an auxiliary audio jack were added to the options list. A Prius Touring model was added the following year with a slightly firmer "sport" suspension, different 16-inch alloy wheels, a larger rear lip spoiler and several optional items. Side and side curtain airbags also became standard across the board. A "standard" trim level, which lacks cruise control and heated mirrors but in exchange had a significantly lower base price, was added for 2008.
In reviews of the Toyota Prius, our editors have cited outstanding mileage, ultralow emissions, hatchback utility and a reasonable price as the car's greatest strengths. Downsides include soft handling characteristics at highway speeds and, compared to regular midsize sedans, unimpressive maximum acceleration. Most Prius owners say their cars typically achieve real-world mpg ratings in the mid-40s.
The original Prius debuted in the North American market for the 2001 model year. However, Toyota had been selling it in Japan since 1997. This model was the second hybrid vehicle available to U.S. consumers after the Honda Insight. In just about every aspect, the original Prius has been eclipsed by the second-generation car. The first-generation Toyota is slower, smaller and not as comfortable. But this in no way means that it is to be avoided. For a consumer interested in a used and affordable hybrid vehicle, this first-gen Toyota Prius could be a smart choice.
Though less advanced than those in the newer generations, the older Prius' powertrain still paired a gasoline engine with an electric motor. Its 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine made 70 hp at 4,500 rpm and 82 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. The electric drive motor was worth another 44 peak hp.
Selecting a used Prius based on year shouldn't be too difficult. Models built for 2002 and '03 might have more of a draw, as it was then that Toyota started to offer additional optional features, such as a navigation system, side airbags and cruise control. Most first-generation owners seem quite happy with their cars and overall reliability has been very good.

The "time (has come) for those in the fringes" to shine, writes Roberto Salva about the latest thrust of Filipino Jesuits to prioritize Mindanao in their ministry, especially after the recent election of Fr. Antonio Moreno, SJ, as provincial of the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus, the first provincial to hail from Mindanao.
In the time of People Power, on Dec. 5, 1987, a lively gathering was going on at the "in" place at that time, Limelight at the Remedios Circle. Political activists, socialites, artists, bohemians and academicians of all stripes had trooped to the fun district of Malate to toast and roast themselves in the launching of the book, "History of the Burgis."

The Microworld Miracle
In The Name Of Allah, The All-Merciful And Most Merciful
A9 TV; 15 May 2011
Allah, Who created the proton and neutron separately in the nucleus of the atom, Who creates human chromosomes right down to the finest detail, Who perfectly creates the protein molecule, Who creates the eye and allows us to see in full color, Who shows us three-dimensional images and Who allows us to hear sound of the finest quality, uses a piece of flesh as His instrument in all this. We ask, "Why did He create the universe?" Some people say, "It has no purpose." But you say, "Everything has a purpose. You cannot have purposeless human beings. Allah says in one verse that He did not create this universe as a bauble and an amusement. Allah is Almighty and knows all things. He created space. He creates infinite time in an infinitely brief moment. He created an infinitely long period of time in an infinitely short one. That is the power of Allah. It is not purposeless. Does a cup not have a purpose? Does not a pencil have a purpose? Does not paper have a purpose? Does not television have a purpose? Everything has a purpose.
Reason in any case means knowledge. Rational knowledge. Our Prophet (saas) was highly rational. He said a thing and it was true. Because he acted through revelation. What will Hazrat Mahdi (as) be like? He will also act through revelation. Our Prophet (saas) says there will be an angel to correct him when he makes a mistake. Jibrail (as), Mikhail (as), the great angels, will be alongside him, always by his side.
Bediuzzaman is the wall of Dhu'lQarnayn. What is the Atlas of Creation? The wall of Dhu'lQarnayn. All ramparts against irreligion and atheism are the walls of Dhu'lQarnayn. But there is a wall referred to in the Qur'an, the wall that stood in the way of Gog and Magog. What is used in it? Iron. What will Hazrat Mahdi (as) use? He will have all tanks and shells and lumps of iron melted down. That is what Dhu'lQarnayn did on a wider scale. There is this possibility. The reference to Dhu'lQarnayn may be to Hazrat Mahdi (as). Because past and future are one in the Sight of Allah. What is described as the past may also be the future. And the future may be the past. Allah speaks of paradise, for example, that is the future for us. But He describes it as the past. He describes paradise and hell as the past. Allah describes what Abu Lahab is doing in hell while he is still alive. He describes it as the past. "And so will his wife, the firewood-carrier," says Allah. He describes as the past. Past and future are the same in the Sight of Allah. Because we can see from that description that Dhu'lQarnayn is on a screen like the television. Because Allah says he looked and saw. A sultan does this with a power. And when he looks he sees the Sun sinking in a black, muddy spring. We look at the television, and the Japanese flag also sets in a black, muddy spring. The empire that never sets, sets. Allah describes it like photographic images. He describes images one by one. In other words, He refers to the images that will be seen in the End Times.
Gog and Magog, terror and anarchy. All the anarchists and terrorists of the End Times. Since the Prophet Jesus (as) is living now, Allah is heeding his prayers and setting them against one another. Through the prayers of the Prophet Jesus (as) there are great disasters happening. The Prophet Jesus (as) prays and there is an uprising in a country, people turn against one another. Global politics are being shaped by prayer; that is a characteristic of Jesus the Messiah (as). His prayer is one that is heeded. Gog and Magog are being destroyed through the prayers of the Prophet Jesus (as). The alleged organization Ergenekon is Gog and Magog. It is being destroyed through the prayer of the Prophet Jesus (as). The alleged terror organization Ergenekon is now in its death throes, it cannot escape. The worst mafia organization ever. They had unbelievable power. But now they are weakened. The PKK is a vile, fanatical and bloodthirsty organization of Gog and Magog. It will also be destroyed through the prayers of the Prophet Jesus (as).
The direction of the world is currently in the hands of Jesus the Messiah (as), Hazrat Mahdi (as) and Hazrat Khidr (as), the three of them together. These three have put an end to wars. Otherwise they were going to cause a false Armageddon. Armageddon has passed, it was the war fought in Iraq. They were preparing for more comprehensive bloodshed. But it was stopped through the efforts of the Messiah (as), the Mahdi (as) and Hazrat Khidr (as), insha'Allah. The world is now being run through the prayers of Jesus the Messiah (as).
They ask who the dajjal (antichrist) is. We look and see an irreligion the like of which there has never been before. We ask what the cause of that is. Education or something, a chain reaction, has led to irreligion. We see that Darwinism has made people irreligious. We see that Darwinism lies at the bottom of it. And who thought up Darwinism? Darwin. So we arrive at the dajjal (antichrist) of the time. The portents across the world lead us to that door. He left evidence behind him. What evidence? Making the world irreligious. Making 99% of it irreligious. What does the dajjal do? His first task is to make the world irreligious. What did Darwin do? He made the whole world irreligious. How? Through nonsense. What did the way of the dajjal in Sumerian times use? Darwinism. What did Pharaoh use in ancient Egypt? Darwinism. The same mindset. Dajjals have never been able to change their ideas. Nimrud had the same belief, and Pharaoh. But Pharaoh spoke to 1 or 3 million people at most. Nimrud spoke to 1 million at most. The dajjal? The dajjal has spoken to 7 billion. He has made 99% of those 7 billion irreligious. Neither Pharaoh nor Nimrud ever caused such harm. Neither Pharaoh nor Nimrud ever shed such blood as the result of an intellectual system. Pharaoh shed the blood of 100,000 at most. Nimrud shed the blood of 10,000 at most. But the dajjal and Darwinism shed the blood of 330 million. To start with. Look at the First World War, the Second. Then they added another 300 million. Making 600 million. The way of the dajjal has killed 600 million people. The PKK and the alleged terror organization Ergenekon are included in that, and terrorist. Pharaoh is nothing compared to them. Or Nimrud. The worst dajjal there has ever been. Our Prophet (saas) says, "there is nothing worse than the way of the dajjal." And a great Mahdi is sent to oppose it. The Mahdi, the great mujaddid (reviver) of the 14th century, the restorer of the faith, the Qutb al-Azam is sent 1400 years after our Prophet (saas). To eliminate the devastation of the way of the dajjal, to stop the bloodshed and to eliminate false ideas. We are also busy with that as pioneers. We are working now. To intellectually eliminate Darwinism, to stop wars and bloodshed. The time will come when the moral values of Islam will rule the world with a great explosion. Allah will bring this about through the prayers of Jesus the Messiah (as) and the Mahdi (as).

EU unveils air passenger 'risk profiling' plan
The European Union is set to emulate the US by adopting the wholesale screening and profiling of air passengers. In a proposed Framework Decision being put forward today, the European Commission calls for the collection of Passenger Name Record (PNR) data for all flights into and out of the EU, together with a "risk assessment" …
Perfect Plane Protection Plan?
This is an excellent idea as it well known that terrorists cannot pack a station wagon with explosives and gas cylinders and drive the car into the crowded lobby of a major regional airport....
....no wait...didn't I read something about Glasgow.
BTW, that's Baaaaah as in sheep!
Let's hope they learn a bit from the mistake make in the American system (fat hope), the thought of one John Smith being a bit naughty, and the queues of John Smiths being caught at the check in desk just don't bare thinking about.
Unfortunately I too have quite a common name. There were two of me at school, which caused a little bit of confusion. I wonder if I should change my name to something obscure, or would the fact I've changed my name just give me a +50 on the "likely to blow up plane" scale?
@Nomen Publicus
You're right, Glasgow conclusively proved that terrorists cannot pack a station wagon with explosives and gas cylinders and drive the car into the crowded lobby of a major regional airport.
That's why it's so well known, at least in intelligent circles.
Does this mean that...
...Shahid Malik, MP for Dewsbury, will be detained at EU airports as well as US ones?
Where's the Tube profiler
Further to Nomen's comment, this will clearly also prevent people driving down the M1 to London and blowing themselves up on public transport. Or attempting to do so. Could you not also hijack a ferry and sail it into an oil depot? Not quite as dramatic as a plane but still a huge bang. Plus there's plenty of people on board you could kill in the bang.
Still, all of these things will be cured by ID cards so we should stop worrying. With ID cards there will be no terrorism.
Close, but that little effort was as about as explosive as an average party balloon.
You are right tho' in so far as you don't need to go through security to be able to attack a plane on/near the runway. The PIRA had a couple of goes at airports with mortars, although they weren't actually trying to kill swathes of ppl. They just wanted to put big holes in the runway to cause everyone a lot of hassle.
Ah well, all this "anti-terror" malarky keeps ppl in work I guess.
That acronym is also used for Point of No Return.
Is the EU trying to tell us something?
oo, oo, don't forget boats
we should definately have these systems for all public transport, i saw a film once where this ferry crashed into a beach & caused loads of damage, the binary liquid explosives were on a film too, so it must be a valid threat, right?
-and full body cavity searches before allowing anyone on trains either, you can't be too carefull.
Re: Where's the Tube profiler
Probably not a good idea. You might get shot eight times in the head by the Met if your name comes up on the screen.
The scene..
.. a cave, somewhere in the Afghani-Waziristani border region.
Ayman al-Zawahiri: Sheikh Usama, we hear the Europeans have implemented a flight data system to track all passengers and improve the safety of flights in the EU.
UBL: So, more train bombings then?
AA-Z: Right you are guv. More train bombings it is.
Seriously. If it's 63 million people screened and it has been used to catch common criminals more than terrorists by a ratio of either 1200 to one or infinity, as the case may be, then it should be described as what it is: mass surveillance of the whole population for law enforcement, and nothing to do with terrorism at all.
Is this when...
...the UK/EU people posting on this site stop being so sanctimonious about how free and progressive they are vs. the fascist totalitarian US?
If it costs 1 dollar to screen 1 person....
63 million/1200 = $52500 per arrest.
Seems cost effective.
ill-informed comments
What annoys me about stories on the reg is the ill-informed comments people make. "I know, lets take everything at face value and make cynical comments"
This isnt just about stopping terrorism, there are other types of crime you know. So yeah, you can't stop people planting bombs in the tube, but you can stop known criminals getting in/out of the country. The person who said it costs $52k per person (£26k) - if that crime meant you didnt lose a loved one would you not consider that a fair amount to pay?
And re: the John Smith comment, the people who design these systems aren't daft enough to base things on just name. Lets think what other data people supply, DOB, passport, address, contact details... yeah? they're not stoopid.
Rant over.
Lets think about this stuff people.
I wonder.. will it be possible to request the data held about you a la the police national computer? I'm still not sure how they can justify £10 to do one query on a database...
"And re: the John Smith comment, the people who design these systems aren't daft enough to base things on just name. Lets think what other data people supply, DOB, passport, address, contact details... yeah? they're not stoopid."
Well, perhaps you are ill-informed since that exactly what they are doing in the US.

- Nice Everyday Ring! Review by B. Bossard (Customer from our Amazon store)
This ring looks even better in person! Low profile, lots of shine, great fit. I've been wearing it everyday and have had lots of compliments. It seems well made, is very comfortable and balances nicely on top of the finger. Anyone who orders this won't be dissapointed!

Edmonton Restaurants
I notice there aren't a lot of Edmonton posts on here. Just moved here a month ago and here are a few places I've had good meals:
Gabbana (on Jasper next to Sicilian Pasta Kitchen)
- nice original choices in the "asian fusion" type category...e.g. kai lan served as a side with beef
Flavours (on Whyte Ave.)
Wild Tangerine (104th Ave. & about 112th St., same plaza as Starbucks)
Sicilian Pasta Kitchen (on Jasper Ave. & about 112th St.)
- nothing earth shattering here, but very solid execution, fresh pasta, nice salads, and thin-crust pizza (which seems to be hard to find out here....every other pizza I've tried in Edmonton has a very thick "pan" type crust)
Bua Thai (same plaza as Sicilian Pasta Kitchen)
Anybody agree? Disagree? There are almost a million people in Edmonton. There should be way more posts on this board, but Calgary, Vancouver, and Whistler seem to steal the show.
Don't disagree at all. I think the reason Calgary and Vancouver dominate is because both have a number of passionate "foodies" who enjoy posting and quite frankly, a much more dynamic food sector.
Edmonton has, in my view, been in a bit of a funk when it comes to dining. The sizzling economic scene in Calgary with all the downtown development has encouraged new restaurants to open.
I dine better when out of town on business or pleasure. We tend to go for lunches or early dinners rather fine dining so have not, for example, been to either Jack's Grill nor Hardware Grill for a number of years.
Culina was a good addition but on the week-ends their Saturday lunch for example is primarily egg based, more what I associate with Sunday brunch which I usually avoid. Living in the west end I am unlikely to effectively drive back downtown for dinner.
Wild Tangerine that you mentioned was a popular spot for us, the shrimp popsicles and marinated octoupos salad in particular were terrific.
Out in the west end, dining is dominated by the chains i.e. Moxie's, Earls', The Chop, The Keg, Sawmill and the like which even when they provide solid food and at least in the case of Earls' decent priced wine options usually don't inspire anyone to write a report or review....a bigger better burger is a bigger better burger and chicken wings are chicken wings even though the ones grilled at The Chop [Moxie's effort and upper end steak house] are better than average.
Otherwise not much else. Ok, you have Theo's Koutouki Ouzeria but I am tired of western Canadian "traditional" Greek. I would "kill" for simply spiced and cooked grilled fish rather than deep fried this and that. I have not tried the New Asian Village outlet off 100 Ave.
I popped in for appetizers and some wine at T-Zin on 104th Street adjacent to deVines Wine Store, Kelsey Danyluk is a dynamic, fun person and I think they will do well but they are so tiny at present. Much more accessible for the condo dwellers and locals of the 104th Street and Jasper Ave area.
I like Sorrentino's but their Wolf Willow location just does not excite me anymore even with the Garlic Festival now underway.
Has anyone been to old stand-bys like the Red Ox Inn or the Unheardof?
What about the Blue Pear? I have not been since it was Anjou years and years ago.
Oh well, time to walk my dogs and maybe get some inspiration of where to go for lunch on this Easter Monday.
I look forward to hearing of your "finds" here in the "Chuk"!
There are many very good restaurants in Edmonton...what would you like? For Ethiopian food, the Blue Nile, for Central American fare, try Los Comales, Mexican? Acajulta, for Indian, the best is in Sherwood Park (eastern suburb of the City) at Taste of India, high end burger? DeLUX burger, Dadeos on Whyte for Southern US delights, There is a fabulous Turkish place (forget the name at the moment) on the Avenue of Nations if memory serves. There are many excellent restaurants in the area, they are, admittendly, harder to find then they should be. Greek? Grub Med. Sushi? Tokyo Express on Whyte or Matsuya in Sherwood Park. Czech? Bistro Praha on Rice Howard way in the Downtown core...best steak tartar I have ever had, anywhere, fabulous steaks and chicken too...or just around the corner from the Bistro is Table de Renoir for frogs legs and other French staples (the owner is a grandson of THE Renoir with his (the owner's ) art on display and for sale). Culina off 99th is incredible and consistent...my eldest loves the chocolate sauce on the steak. The Sunday family dinners there are "family style" with big plates of food for sharing on offer fFixed menu, like at home!)and the Unheard of (operated by the Heard family) on Whyte is another. City standards like Jack's Grill on 111th St., the Hardware Grill are world class. Supper at Characters (especially if you treat the appetizers as tapas) is a fine experience as is the restaurant at NAIT (Ernest's). The Red Ox is as imaginative as always. Stay away from the much heralded, mostly lousy Harvest Room at the Hotel MacDonald. No need to hit the chains.
Edmonton is a feast, literally, with many world class places to eat. We know, we have eaten in many Michelin starred and other restuarant in other cities...I will take Jack's Grill over Bouchon any day. There is no embarassment to be had by the culinary community in this fine city. Albertans love to eat out. There are many eating and drinking festivals like Indulgence (next month) celebrating local food.
I will try to keep my eye on this forum and will do my (our) best to answer queries in a timely fashion. OH...just read the query below about the Blue Pear....love it! They offered us an amuse bouche on outr last visit that we use for guests....watermelon rounds with homemade fennel salt...easy, different and just odd ennough to impress the guests. Speaking of Blue..the Blue Chair just south of Whyte...small, inventive menu. Worth the trip!...I will stop now, but it is hard to contain my enthusiasm as a local foodie (well 6 of us actually!)...the Edmonton area has much to offer.
re: foodiesnorth
Ouch! Tokyo Express for SUSHI? You mean McSushi? Sorry but that just hurts lol. Maybe it's just b/c I've been in Vancouver for a few months now, but McTokyo - I mean Tokyo Express for sushi, it just hurts me to hear that :( Have you tried Tokyo Noodle shop?
re: eastcoastgirl_westcoastlife
I concur! The staff at Tokyo Exress don't speak English so trying to communicate with them what you want is impossible. I asked if they would make the maki fresh as the last time the dynamite roll and alberta were not holding too well. They refused to do that. So I said ok forget the order. I was only there since the other resturants were too far for takeout.
re: sleepycat
It reminds me of the two ladies in the Catskill resort; one complains - "the food is not very good" - "Yes" , the other comiserates, "and the portions are so small...".
Fortunately there are plenty of good Sushi restaurants in Edmonton, comparable to most Canadian cities except Vancouver (e.g. Tojo's): Sankyu, Furusato, Wasabi, in the first tier, Mikado, Kyoto, Miso, etc. among others. Tokyo Express is just what its name indicates, fast food sushi when you are in a hurry.
re: felix the hound
Update Dec 2008- Sankyu at Jasper Place changed owners and is no more- Sankyu To Go downtown remains, but it is not the same quality (fast sushi counter)
re: eastcoastgirl_westcoastlife
There isn't a Tokyo Express ON Whyte Ave so maybe foodiesnorth meant Tokyo Noodle House (I think..) on the Ave.
re: Garnetgirl
You mean I am taking all this abuse from people including my spouse for nothing!!!...the place I meant is right beside the Artisan Bakery on Whyte Ave. Paddy's cheese used to be int he same buidling until they relocated to High Street. I have eaten there (the suchi place) a few times and rather enjoyed the food. I have to admit that anything with "Express", "International" or "Buffet" in the name never attracts my attention. I feel better knowing that I had the name wrong.
re: foodiesnorth
It's one up from Tokyo Express. Still quite pricey, I'd rather go to a real Japanese resturant.
re: foodiesnorth
Ouch! Tokyo Express for SUSHI? You mean McSushi? Sorry but that just hurts lol. Maybe it's just b/c I've been in Vancouver for a few months now, but McTokyo - I mean Tokyo Express for sushi, it just hurts me to hear that :(
Have you tried Tokyo Noodle shop on Whyte? Sushi made to order and the BEST ramen I've ever had.
Two little-mentioned additions to the list:
* Da Capo, on 109 north of the Garneau Theatre -- a cappucino place with excellent, creative grilled sandwiches and very good pastries. And first rate coffee.
* Old Szechuan on 107th Ave x 103 St. I lived in Sichuan for a while, and this is by far the most authentic Sichuanese food I've tasted in North America. If you're an adventurous eater and don't need elegant decor, this is a real find.
re: David Kahane
Da Capo has some tasty pizzas too, but they really need to step up their service. Far too aloof and inconsiderate of their diners. Plus, they refuse to serve water in anything but a commercial bottle. Extraordinary.
re: David Kahane
Agreed regarding Old Szechuan. I live in Waterloo now, but whenever I'm heading back to Edmonton that's one of the must visits.
I've lived in Edmonton for the majority of my life, I have never been to any of the more expensive restaurants but here's my picks for what its worth:
Chinese - Golden Rice Bowl, Wokkery (their cripsy chicken Fung Sah Gye is the best anywhere), Jumbo, Old szechuan
Japanese - Furusato or Zen if you're looking for All you can eat sushi
Vietnamese - Nihn Kieu for pho
Thai - There's a TINY little place on 97th street near lucky 97... seats about 4 tables of 4, but they have amazing food and it's always busy.. Unfortunately I don't know the name.
Italian - Piccolino's, Scicilian Pasta Kitchen on the South side
Cajun - Dadeo's
Burger - Tasty Tom's on Whyte (I love their garlic mushroom burger)
Greek - Kantouki Taverna on the west end
Other noteworthy places
Blue Plate Diner
Having been in Ontario for 4 months now, I'll say that the places in Edmonton rival the places here -- that is to say, I have not found any restaurants here that are far and away better than those in Edmonton... yet. The search continues though :)
re: kashirat
Out of curiosity, what part of Ontario are you in? It could make a big difference.
I have heard great things about Tasty Tom's on Whyte, as well as the Thai place you mention -- I still have to give those a shot.
Good luck in exploring out east!!
re: littlegreenpea
I'm in Waterloo, but I've driven into Hamilton a couple times and Toronto 4 or 5 times. Granted, I haven't had the chance to sample too many of the restaurants.
re: kashirat
I'm not too familiar with the Waterloo area, so I can't be of much help to you. Do browse the Ontario board though - there are lots of folks who'll be happy to help you out. And get out there and eat!! Good luck.
re: kashirat
Have you tried The Mongolian Grill yet? It's one of my favourite places to eat in KW.
re: kashirat
The tiny Thai restaurant you refer to is probably the Bualong. The woman who owns and cooks there encouraged her friend to open a restaurant and so we have her to thank for Viphalay.
I agree with the first and second postings - not so many Edm postings, due to the fact that there are not as many hard core food lovers. I just moved to Vancouver after 16 yrs. in Edm and still love to chat about my Edmonton favourites.
My picks:
Dim Sum - Noodle Noodle (best Char Siu Bao ever, even in Van!)
Cantonese - Sam Wok
Sushi/Japanese - Tokyo Noodle Shop
Steak - Mirabelle (wicked bearnaise)
Italian - tie bet. Il Portico and Sorrentino's
Greek - Koutouki South (amazing Moussaka)
Indian - Punjabi Sweets (best food/price) and Jewel of Kashmir (fine dining, bit more pricey)
Arabic - La Shish Sunbake Pita Bakery
Weekend Brunch - Coast Hotel on 105
High end/fine regional - Jack's Grill
Character/formal - Lingnan (love the 50's placemats)
Burger - tie bet. Atlantic Trap 'n' Gill Big Arse burger and Marriott on Jasper's burger
Steals 'n' deals - Russian Tea room, 3.00 breakfast, Sunbake Pita Bakery, 1.50 Lebanese pizza.
re: eastcoastgirl_westcoastlife
Ooohhh...Lingnan's is still alive and well after all these years??? That is great news. On my next trip west I will definitely not miss it!!!
I think that Edmonton has a very inconsistent food scene that has, like most parts of the economy, been hurt by an inability to get and keep staff. Even some of my favourite places seem to be spottier than they were 2 years ago. But there are still a few places that I think stack with the best in Western Canada. I would include Bacon, Madison's in the Union Bank Inn, Red Ox Inn, and Bistro Praha on that list.
I think there are several Vietnamese places that have very good food, but they are not always the best for atmosphere or service. I still can not think of any Mexican place that wows me and I ate Don Antonio's 2 weeks ago.
Any sadly it is hard to think of place that consistently serves good prime rib that is not way over priced.
re: pengcast
That's a good thought. The labour market definitely has a big effect on the quality of dining experience. I arrived here two years ago, just after Edmonton got hit. At my first meal here my fries were still frozen in the centre. We were given the impression that it was the cook's first day -- it was also the server's first day.
I'm not really in a position to compare those restos with the rest of Western Canada, but I did really enjoy the Red Ox. I may have enjoyed it less if I was picking up the tab; I'm not really sure what it cost. I also like Bistro Praha, though I think that has more to do with me than with it.
My guess is that there isn't a lot of Edmonton posts on here because there aren't a lot of Edmonton restaurants that really would encourage posting. It's hard for me to get excited about dining in Edmonton, or even about the food items available in the stores here. Weekend trips to Calgary or Vancouver keep things liveable around my house! ;-)
Anyhow, there are a few places that I adore, for their consistency (something that seems to lack at times in Edmonton, and don't tell me it's because of staffing, Calgary has the same issue but is very consistent) their originality (Edmontonians love their chains, and their basic dishes). We really lack anyone who is willing to try something innovative like tasting or rotating menus and perhaps it is because the market doesn't demand it. I'm not sure.
My picks are:
La Shish - Amazingly flavourful, bang on dishes. Get the plates to be satisfied for atleast dinner and lunch the next day. My only complaint is they do not use Sunbake pitas, the best in the city.
Tony's or Pizza Boys pizza - light, great dough with punchy toppings. Their pastas aren't bad either, but I prefer...
Il Portico for pasta. Lunch is a different game, but this is one of the top restaurants in Edmonton for dinner because of their careful attention to detail, rotating menus and seasonal ingredients. Also fantastic just for dessert.
New York Bagel Cafe - for brunch. God forbid you go at 11am on a sunny summer Sunday though, you'll never get in. They serve their brunch every day, go and have their Bon Ton bagels and home made cream cheeses with freshly brewed coffees and espressos.
Blue Nile Ethiopian isn't in the easiest to get to location, but they knock the socks off of Langano Skies. The spicing and injera are fab, and you don't have to deal with crowds of vegetarian university students. Another fave that is neglected is Mebrat Cafe.
Sage - Again, off the beaten track a bit. A place I often dream of at night when I want a steak. Their steaks are good, if pricey, but the well executed sides are really where it's at. Nothing fussy, but all well done. Try the sweet potato fries.
Dim Sum - After trying many places in Edmonton, Vancouver, Bangkok etc etc, I've decided the best it's going to get it Cha for Tea in the west end. You don't have to fight crowds if you go relatively early, unlike, say, Golden Rice Bowl, and the items are not oversteamed. They also do special dishes they will come around with (for instance, an octopus treatment for Chinese New Year) and they do not peddle the same items on rotation after rotation of the carts.
Ernest's at NAIT - Finally dined here this year; not for the well attended lunch buffet, though. The service was really fussy, the students are new to it and want to be perfect, but it's charming. Again, they rotate their menu and use local ingredients, which I can really get behind. MORE OF THIS IN EDMONTON!
I've tried Bacon and been extremely underwhelmed and somewhat ripped off. The concept was great and I was excited to try it out, but was left feeling sad and like the place is just try hard that is popular because it's stylish and has a yuppie fan base. Doesn't pull through in practice.
I've dined at unheardof and Blue Pear and while the food was alright, I was disappointed with the service. Somewhat arrogant and show offy; which is unfortunate because Blue Pear is one of the few places that has a new menu every month and keeps challenging itself. I will have to try it again and hope for a less stuffy atmosphere.
I should add I just tried MOR Turkish Cuisine in the west end the other night and was blown away. The flavours are great, there are homemade and shipped in ingredients (their soujouk sausage is housemade) and it is nice to see a newer place around. Another newish place is Way of Life, downtown. Only open for lunch; and only serve vegan food. But, she does dishes well, doesn't get too fancy and uses fresh ingredients. Better than most other restaurants in Edmonton, and they do not have the same restrictions on ingredients! I'd like to try Wildflower Grill as well, but I'm disappointed they are associated with L'Azia. I'm worried they'll settle to pandering to office tower lunchers and fade away after a year or two.
Of course, it's hard to make me happy about anything right now after spending two months in Tokyo and Bangkok, and then some time in Austin, Texas. I sure hope other cities know how good they have things.
Blue Pear and Hardware Grill are still the restaurants I enjoy the most for especial occasions, Jack's Grill has gone mainstream and their menu ( and execution) has declined consistently over the years. I have not been to Characters yet, somehow it has no appeal to me, maybe it is the memory of so many meals that were not worth the price that keeps me away from a new experience. That, and inconsistency, is a common problem in many of Edmonton's restaurants. We usually wait for our periodic trips to Vancouver to go "high end"
There is, however, a wealth of competent and fairly priced "ethnic" restaurants: Vietnamese (e.g. Golden Bird, Pagolac, Ninh Kieu; Tau Bay); Chinese (e.g. Saiwoo, Golden Rice Bowl, Cha for Tea); Japanese (e.g. Sankyu, Furusato, Wasabi); Thai (e.g. Viphalay, Bualong, Bua Thai, Siphay); Lebanese ( e.g. La Shish , Westgate Halal deli); Turkish ( e.g. MOR). Foodiesnorth has listed a few more ( Ethiopan, Indian, Latino American) on his/her post below. I must confess however that have not yet found a mexican restaurant worth writing about in Edmonton ( Acajutcla is not Mexican as far as i know).
Have not yet found an exceptional "italian " restaurant either, at any price. Hope somebody has a good tip in this regard.
Lastly, one of Edmonton's best kept secrets, you should try the "Popeye" pizza at Pharos. Not sure what style of pizza it corresponds to, maybe it is in a category all by itself.
re: felix the hound
For Italian try Piccolino's or Il Pasticcio.
For Mexican - I would suggest El Rancho or Mexico Lindo.
Happy Noshing!
re: felix the hound
Good Mexican is hard to find in a lot of places in Canada. It's especially a constant gripe on the Ontario board. Have you tried the steam table at El Paraiso Tropical on Saturdays? It's not a sit-down meal, but I've found it to be pretty damn good!
re: felix the hound
If we're talking about Vietnamese restaurants, I'm surprised I never see the Lemongrass Cafe on the list. I hadn't heard about it until a friend moved nearby, but it's quite a nice little place that seems to be Vietnamese with a few Thai flavours and dishes. (My favorite has to be their chicken and mango red curry)
re: Sylv F
Sylv F:
It has been quite awhile since my last and as it turned out, only visit to the Lemongrass Cafe. My interest had been piqued by an article in one of the Edmonton newspapers which complemented the food but spent some time on their wine list and interest in providing wines that would complement the food.
We went for lunch. Our food was at best "ok". I only recollect having lemongrass chicken and the special which was tempura tuna and something I have known better than order in a Vietnamese restaurant.
I do remember the wine. A sauvignon blanc from CA I had bought from the Wine and Spirits store run by Gurvinder Bhatia [sp?] on Jasper Ave so I knew what I was ordering and how it should taste.
It was corked or otherwise tainted and I sent it back requesting another. The initial response I received from our server after she had spoken to a gentleman behind the bar [not the female chef/owner who the newspaper article had referred to] was, "...that is the way this vintage tastes". Wrong answer. We won't go back.
re: Bob Mac
I'm sorry to hear you had troubles with the wine and the server. I always get either the iced coffee or plain old water there, so I can't say if they've improved or not. I don't even think I've even seen tempura tuna or anything even like it on their menu, so they must have changed it around quite a bit indeed.
re: Bob Mac
This brings back memories of a dinner at what might have been one of the first upscale Chinese restaurants in Tel Aviv (many many years ago, I was only 24) and I sent back two bottles of the same white wine, one after the other, for allegedly the same reason, and the owner came and told me he could not tell the difference and implored me to order a different wine. To be honest, I am not sure now that I could tell then either, and I still feel a little guilty when I remember it.
My wife was at Wildflower and said the food was great, the decor was uncomfortable along with the prices.
Other suggestions in St Albert. Try the River House. Especially in the summer during market season.
Louisa and Nellos for Italian in St Albert
There is a new East Indian Restaurant in St Albert but I haven't been able to get in yet.
re: Timeats
"Decor was uncomfortable" [?] How so?
Yes, the prices are high.
re: Bob Mac
Seats were uncomfortable and smallish
I love a few of the places already mentioned (Red Ox Inn! Table de Renoir) but noticed that a few that I like have yet to be mentioned:
- Normand's: because I like meat, and that is really what they do, and also I like that Norm actually is on site and comes around to say hello. (on Jasper by the Druid)
- 4th and Vine: food has been good, and there are some different selections like a duck salad (Oliver Square)
- It's all Greek to me: cheaper than many of the other Greek places at lunch, I love that their tzasiki is made with a bit of sour cream like I make mine (Rice Howard Way)
- Laganos Skies: Good ethiopean. I can't compare to Blue Nile since I have never been, but this place is very affordable (Whyte down by 99 st)
I have to add, mainly because I have found the best steakhouse in edmonton and it apparently has been kept a secret!! Vic's Steakhouse in the Mayfield Inn and Suites is absolutely phenomenal. I've been there several times and every time my jaw drops with how good the food is!! The steaks are so far above Ruth's Chris, Chop, the Keg...they're not even comparable. The menu is quite creative although not the best for vegetarians with only one vegetarian dish. But seriously...try this restaurant. AMAZING!!
In addition to Vic's, for thai I really like the Boun Thai which is just off of Jasper on 107 Street. For Sunday brunch, make reservations at Cafe de Ville on 124 Street...they really go the extra mile and the food is fantastic. Really busy though so reservations are required. Happy Eating!
