How's your call centre experience? Do I expect too much?
I love DCL and I admit I do have very high expectations....My last cruise with them was perfect and I expect the upcoming one is perfect too.
But I find their call centre not very pleasant and friendly sometimes. I have to call them a few times because of some wrong information entered, payment not going through and not yet received booklet. Most of them are great or okay, but my recent call has not been so smooth. I wouldn't say they are rude, but some agents just don't care and not very pleasant. I wonder if I expect too much or they're just like other cruise lines......
I am still excited and hopefully they don't put a "note" on my reservation and treat me bad....it's my 10th year anniversary

I find the same thing- some are wonderful and others are ok at best. I found one person who is always very helpful so I am thinking I am just going to ask for him if I ever need to call in for something.
I wouldnt let it take away from your cruise experience. I think its just like anything else, sometimes they are having a bad day and it shows
Just call back later and hopefully you'll get somebody pleasant.

First off let me explain I do all my DCL (11 years) & DVC (18 years) reservations over the phone, no TA or any bookings on line. After 8 cruises booked & another 4 scheduled, I can honestly say I have never had any problems with any of the Call Center staff. Trust me between DCL & DVC call centers I will wear those folks out, with silly questions, requests, re-bookings etc. They have always been courteous & professional & 9 times out of 10; I get the results I called about. Occasionally I will elevate an issue to a supervisor, usually because the original CM doesn't have the authority to go any further with my problem/request. Over the years, I have come across many CMs who go the extra mile to come up with some rather creative ways to help me out.
I guess, I've just been lucky & get the good people whenever I call Disney.

I haven't called the cruise line but for DVC and all other disney related calls, I have gotten 1 or 2 (but the vast minority) that were just ok. They did what they were supposed to and it got done but they did seem like they just wanted to be done with this and go home. However I definitely have days at work like that so I don't really consider it a problem.
The majority are pleasant and nice to work with. They are also extremely helpful.

That being said, I personally do not expect "perfection" as human error is always a possibility in this world, cruises included. I would expect things be made right, and assistance provided, but perfection is not a standard I would hold a cruise line to.
I highly doubt DCL would put a "note" on your reservation and treat you badly. Why would you even think that, just curious?

Thanks everyone. My "perfect" standard is that the service provider has to "try to" resolve the problem instead of just shutting me off...It's not like I expect there is no problem at all. I had to call them before for couple problems I encountered and the calls went very well. Yes, maybe I did have the wrong expectations and they were just so good before. The "note" thing - I saw somewhere else online but it could be a rumor or misunderstanding.
But I agree that maybe the agent just had a bad day and people including myself may be stressed during the holiday season.
Nevertheless, it's the holiday season and we all should be happy :D
Thanks again, everyone

I have to tell you something that I just found out recently. I am a school bus driver for special ed students in the middle of no-where Wisconsin. (it's not the edge of the world, but you can see it from my place) Two weeks ago, my bus aide called in sick and I had a substitute aide. I got to chatting with her and she told me that she works at a call center a couple of towns over as a second job. I asked what company she is answering calls for and come to find out, she works in the WDW annual passholder call center. I was floored (and also immediately wanted to go apply to this call center so that I could tell people to have a magical day) because I just assumed that there was one call center in Celebration, FL that took care of all of that. I had no idea that they outsourced their calls to the middle of no-where WI! Then, to add to that, she was only on her second day of being "by herself" on the calls and really had received no formal Disney training. She mentioned how she would have to put people on hold several times to figure out the correct answer to tell them. This again floored me because, having been a former Castmember back in the hey-days of the 90's where they wouldn't put anyone out on the line w/o a weeks worth of training at Disney Unversity, I was surprised that Disney let people field calls for them that didn't have a clue about the Disney brand.
So, I am guessing your experience may vary based on who you get because I am willing to bet they have call centers all over the place for dcl too.

The Hawaii Supreme Court has ruled that a woman who was fired for joking about workplace violence is not entitled to unemployment benefits. Such benefits can be denied under state law if a worker was fired for misconduct. The employee, who had worked at the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel for 22 years, was fired after she jokingly placed her hands around a coworker's neck. (Medeiros v. Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, Hawaii Supreme Court, No. 24318, 2005)

New Sterling Financial Corp. Chairman Les Biller was paid $1.5 million to accept the position, and will receive a total $4.5 million by Dec. 31, 2012, unless he resigns.
Biller's compensation was listed in a Monday filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing also disclosed the resignatiion of all but four members of the Sterling board of directors following completion Thursday of a $730 million recapitalization.
The appointment of Biller, a former vice chairman of Wells Fargo, helped attract private investors who participated in the recapitalization. According to the letter offering Biller the job, he invested between $4 million and $7 million of his own money in Sterling.
Biller succeeds William "Ike" Eisenhart, who became chairman when Sterling co-founder Harold Gilkey was forced out last October by regulators.
Eisenhart remains on the board along with other holdovers Ellen Boyer, Michael Reuling, and Greg Seibly, Sterlings chief executive officer.
Also new to the board are David Coulter, representing Warburg Pincus Private Equity X, L.P., and Scott Jaeckel, representing Thomas H. Lee Partners. Lee and Warburg each invested $171 million in Sterling.
Board resignations were submitted by Katherine Anderson, Rodney Barnett, Kermit Houser, Robert Larrabee, William Wrigglesworth, Creigh Agnew, Ned Barnes, Thomas Boone, James Fugate, Marcus Lampros, Dianne Spires and William Zuppe, Sterling's other co-founder.
Senior Vice President Dave Brukardt said the company would not comment on the reasons for the board shakeup.

anything new in the White Plains/Port Chester/Rye area?
We are planning our monthly girls night out and I wanted to try someplace new. I always end up making the recco as I usually dine out more often than my friends and I am stumped. We've done Nessa, Watermoon, Sunset Grille, Lexington Square Cafe, Blue and many more but I know there have been a bunch of new places arriving on the scene lately in mid-westchester and I have been focusing more on CT lately so any ideas????? I am open to any type of food and price is not an issue - just as long as it can handle a table of 8.
re: noclue8
that has been around for ages and is definitely yummy - we used to go all the time but it has fallen off my radar with so many newer places to try but thanks for reminding me of an oldie but goodie!
re: KarenNYC
Hi Karen - note on Nessa - someone on another thread said the chef left and that after many excellent experiences they've now had a decidedly mediocre one. Have you been lately? Have you heard anything?
re: laylag
Is this true? Oh no!
re: MRS
Now, according to another hound it seems he's back. Maybe he was... I don't know... on vacation? Not sure what to make of it - see thread below MRS.
re: noclue8
Agree with going to F. I .S. H. Went in Sat nite, great food. They've enclosed the deck ( and enlarged) and have heaters so you can enjoy the views. They were having a halloween party and band, lots of FUN!!
In White Plains, Trotters closed and is now Peniche, a tapas place owned by the same chef owner, and another place will open called '42' in the Ritz Carlton (not open yet). Peniche looks very hip.
There are a couple new Italian places too, La Bocca on Church St and Antipasti on 1 North Broadway. Coughlan's American Bistro closed and is now Prophecy, some sort of new american joint. dont know how they are.
re: jeanki
Had a great meal at La Bocca 2 weeks ago. The atmosphere is nice, the food was tasty. Service left a lot to be desired, especially considering how uncrowded it was on a Sunday night!
Regardless, I recommend checking it out.
re: craiger1ny
I haven't been, but I've heard La Bocca is pricey considering the quality of the food. Your thoughts?
re: Wizzapizza
I wasn't as conscious of that because someone else picked up the tab. I would say that the price is a little high, but not out of reach.
re: craiger1ny
I am at La Bocca a couple of times a week...since they opened and love the place. I think the food is excellent. I don't really find it pricey for a fine restaurant. Once you get to know the owner, you are one of the family.
Antipasti is not opened as of yet. Their grand opening is set for Nov. 15th. They better hurry up. They are working like crazy to have it ready. They have done a beautiful job on it, but it has a little ways to go.
Been to Morgan's in Rye? Little pricey, but excellent seafood. Same owners/operators as Ruby's and Rye Grill/Bar, but better food. Been a bunch without a bad meal.
if copa cabana is open in Port Chester, it might be worth a try. No one on the boards here has tried it yet, but it looks like it's going to be an upscale churrascaria in the space of pantanal (next to paleteria fernandez). A recent post here said it was going to be $30 per head for, presumably, unlimited meat (and possibly salad)... depends on how they run it there.
If you go, definitely let us know how it is.

This might be a crazy rec, and I've never eaten there myself, but recently I had a friend tell me that Legal Seafood (WP) was quite good. The reason I mention this is because her father owned a seafood restaurant for over 40 years (in westchester) and he gave Legal his stamp of approval. They say the selection is always freah and tasty.
re: bosun
It's not crazy bosun. When I was in Boston many years ago Legal was a local seafood restaurant located in The Boston Park Plaza that had, I believe, only one other location in the suburbs. It was a very good, well-reviewed seafood place with fresh, tasty food. We didn't eat there often because my uncle was the executive chef at another quality seafood restaurant in Boston but the few times we did go to Legal we were pleased.
Many years later when I lived in Miami for a time, I was shocked to find out Legal had become a chain with a restaurant in Broward County.We went a few times - it was the only place we could find to get real steamers - Ipswich clams not steamed hardshells and one of the few that served quality Maine, not Florida -lobsters and fried whole clams - with bellies - New England style seafood. All the food was fresh and most of it still quite good.
Now in Westchester I've only been to the WP Legal once and we did have a very good meal. Considering the dearth of solid seafood places in Westchester particularly at less than exhorbitant price points, I'm not surprised to hear the recommendation.
Generally, I dislike chains and franchises for a multitude of reasons but imo, Legal is not a bad option at all.
re: RawTunaFan
KarenNYC, these places were voted 'Restaurants of the Year' in the free magazine 'In Town'. I don't agree with Tango Grill but haven't been to the others. For your consideration:
One - Irvington; Asian Temptation - White Plains; Zuppa - Yonkers; Croton Creek Steakhouse - Croton Falls; Zitoune - Mamaroneck; Tango Grill - White Plains; Wobble Cafe - Ossining; Trattoria Lucia - Bedford; Morgan's Fish House - Rye; and Chiboust - Tarrytown.
re: dolores
In Town magazine is totally political and only give press to their advertisers!
re: RawTunaFan
Well, I always decide for myself but since these were new to me, I thought they might be new to KarenNYC.
re: dolores
I've seen good chowhound comments/reviews on several of those listed specifically Morgan's and Wobble Cafe. Zitoune was alternatively bashed and lauded here when they opened and then the few more comments when they had smoothed out were pretty positive.
That said, In Town is not a credible source so it's worth searching the restaurants they named on this site before heading out.
re: laylag
Just for the record....neither Morgans nor Wobble advertise with InTown.
re: dolores
Dolores what is the name of that italian place in new rochelle who's chef came from italy. You reccommended it a while back. Its a word of mouth place
re: luv2eatct
luv2eatct: Spadaro, 211 E. Main St., 914-235-4595.
re: Wizzapizza
Brazen Fox is a beautiful place. Almost brasserie-esque in its interior design. I ate brunch there a few weeks ago and I had the shepard's pie. It was made with beef, not lamb. The mashed potatoes seemed to be powder based (and virtually unseasoned). Definitely not nothing special, however, I would like to give them another chance for dinner sometime.
re: plowthor
Brazen Fox from all reviews is a kiddie bar posing as a gastro pub. During the early evening they have what looks like a decent menu, yet everyone is trashing it. In the later hours they have rent-a-cops manning the doors, but for what? I know 17 year olds that drink there every weekend.
re: Wizzapizza
melting pot = g.i. problems the next day
Peniche in white plains is a tapas bar where trotters used to be. Co-worker enjoyed it. We are going during the week to try.
How was blue?
It's not new- but , we went to Cafe' Mirage last night- oh, so yummy- I had to bring home an extra carrot/ginger soup for lunch!
This isn't new exactly, but the North End Restaurant in White Plains (on Broadway, across from the post office) just got a new chef. It's like new-American now. Great food, reasonable prices, and seemed to have a lot of seafood on the menu (for those of you who don't like Legal - I like Legal fine, but the shrimp at the North End were very plump and delicious).
Could someone give me a few recommended options for lunch in White Plains.
I'm an adventurous hound -- loving all cuisines -- my fellow business travellers, well probably less so, but I can persuade them as long as the place is somewhat comfortable to sit down in.
re: NYchowcook
Suggest you use the search function of this board, subject has been covered many, many times.
re: Dim Sum Diva
Yes, searching is generally helpful except here -- there were mentions of restaurants apparently among those familar with them, though posters were not specific as to town or whether open.
I am looking at: Meson Los Espanoles
Sunset Grille
Tango Grill
I would appreciate critique/recommendations for lunch.
re: NYchowcook
Sunset Grille has closed (otherwise I would have recommended it). I think of Meson as solid classic Spanish. Have not tried Tango - the reviews here seem mixed (mainly questioning value for the money. I think it is appropriate atmosphere for a business lunch). Two other options I like if you are leaningtoward Spanish or Latin American cuisine in WP:
Peniche - higher end (but not exhorbitant) Spanish/Portuguese tapas. I think this would be good for a business lunch. www.penichetapas.com
Latin American Cafe: pretty casual and less expensive. Good roast pork, Cubano etc. Its across the street from Meson. May be too casual for business.
re: Bloombee
Sunset Grille CLOSED - say it ain't so!
re: KarenNYC
According to the owner, it ain't. He is reopening in a place to be named.
I hope it is outside downtown WP, but as long as it reopens, that's the key.
re: dolores
i think part of the problem with the last location was that it was not in white plains.....off the beaten track.
re: kaaaassss
Like Francesco's, successful for 50 years? Sam's of Gedney Way?
Off the beaten track for downtown WP residents perhaps, but all the restaurants can't be in downtown WP, thankfully.
re: dolores
this is now not 50 years ago. 50 years ago there were not that many restaurants in the area. gregory's and sergios survived for many years also. boe in the old the old gregory's space is now gone in less then 9 months. unfortuantely people are impatient now and don't give restaurants a chance. there are many good restaurants not in white plains but white plains could use a good mexican restaurant.
re: kaaaassss
I guess it could. Hopefully it won't be Sunset Grille.
I'll try to find out if the location has been divulged yet.
re: dolores
where would you like to see a new sunset grill. white plains needs more diversity with restaurants. three more asian inspired restaurnts will be opening up. 107 Mamaroneck, the old Aculpolco on the corner of post and the new one on main from capelli. add that to blue, asian tempation, seasons and sushi nanese we're on overload.
re: kaaaassss
Oh, I agree. The tapas places are overpriced, and there are quite enough Asian places. The Italian places aren't exceptional, but I guess there are enough pubs, right?
Acapulco is gone?
WP is welcome to Sunset Grille, if that is where the owner finally lands. I will be sad, since I won't get to go there. Unless, of course, he also includes valet parking, which so many of the more intelligent restaurant owners are incorporating into their setup.
My preference would be the wonderful wide open spaces on Central Avenue, my new favorite place to shop.
re: dolores
hi delores...what are your favorite shops on central ave..chef central? dantes? yaranush? trader joe? korean , chinese, and japanese markets?
re: intrepid
intrepid, I guess my first go-to is Morton Williams. I now get their flyer online, since they have the best prices on H-D ice cream. Trader Joe is good for the odd stuff.
Yes, the Japanese places down near Four Corners are good, especially for sake. But the cakes at the faux French bakery are awful.
Chef Central is cool, especially that they include free wrapping, like stores used to do in the Stone Age.
I still haven't been to Dante's, sad to say. Nor Yaranush. But there's still time.
The nice thing about Central Ave. is that there is too much room to institute paid garages in the near future.
re: dolores
mw is ok, doesnt do anything special imho..chef central great goodies, free wrap ok...dantes has good stuff, but owner is a nut job, i stopped going, yaranush has good stuff also, check it out..thanks
re: intrepid
intrepid, where then do you go for supermarket items just off the beaten path? I don't go to Whole Foods, for obvious reasons, and haven't yet found something comparable to MW.
re: dolores
Kass, I don't necessarily agree that it's the people who don't give a restaurant a chance. Serve up some good food at reasonable prices with professional service, and the people will come.
I think the cost of doing business in this area is prohibitive, beginning and ending with the rent. If you don't own the building, you don't have a chance. Then you have all the market fluctuations due to the bad economy. Remember the big "rice scare" and the "milk scare" when it was all over the news that prices were going to go up due to weather, failed crops, etc.? All of that trickles down.
I was on Central Ave. the other day and stopped to look at the menu at Villagio Italiano, where I used to order take out a lot. Cavatelli Neopolitana is now $14.95! For macaroni and cheese! That's what they need to charge to pay the rent. And I look at that and say, for that kind of money, I can make it at home for the whole family, and then some.
I just think it's so much more than "the people".
re: Dim Sum Diva
Good point, Dim Sum. That's probably why I'm ultra critical of Italian restaurants. If they can't make macaroni and gravy as good as I can AND give me extraordinary service, why should I bother?
However, since I can't make sushi, I will happily pay what I consider a lot of money for special sushi and even more special service.
I never could figure out Sunset Grille's lack of patrons. It was as if the people in this county didn't own cars. Heck, if it takes him moving to WP to achieve success, I will happily give up my chance to eat there (unless, S., you institute valet parking!) ever again in order for him to thrive.
Dim Sum, have you been to Bar Vivace? If yes, how do they compare to Piccolo Mulino?
re: dolores
yes dolores Aculpulco is gone. Haiku (from Bronxville) will be opening there. They are also opening in Mamaroneck and on Long Island...
Valet parking is a good idea for restaurants in White Plains. Parking has always been a problem and now more so with the influx of people shopping and eating here. It's a shame that the parking has to be so expensive. It's expensive enough to go out for a nice meal. I have an advantage because I live in White Plains and can walk or take a quick cab ride anywhere. Most restaurants outside of White Plains have free or valet parking.
I agree with the statement that the rents are so high that it trickles down to the public and it does make you think twice before eating out.
Have you ever eaten at Rustico on Central Avenue?
re: kaaaassss
Dolores, I feel that way about Italian restaurants too and rarely eat at the high end ones (unless someone else is picking up the tab). If I need a pasta fix, I'll go to Abatino's or Frank's.
The last fancy-schmancy one I went to was Hostaria Mezzei on Regent St. in Port Chester. It was good. I've eaten at Rustico, it's nice. I kind of miss Eclisse when it was good and novel, back in the day.
Dolores, I am so happy that you did the Sushi Nanese experience. I think we agree that paying more for good sushi is worth it.
Kass, as far as I am concerned there can never be enough Asian places in the WP area. Maybe I should rephrase that to say "good Asian places".
re: Dim Sum Diva
Dim Sum - "Good" is the key word to any cuisine....and that is lacking in many of our restaurants.
re: kaaaassss
kass, you're right. I can count the number of GOOD good restaurants in Westchester on one hand. And if they ARE good good one week, I may come here and read that they're NOT good good in two or three week's time. It's very disheartening.
Yes, I've been to Rustico and enjoyed it very much. My problem, if it is a problem, is that I eat out only once a week and am trying to get to many of the places mentioned here. By the time I get around to the places I've noted as good good, they are sometimes either not or they're gone.
Dim Sum, I can't say enough about the entire experience at Sushi Nanase. Everyone who likes sushi should go there. Soon. Before something happens to them.
re: dolores
I have been to Sushi Nanase and it was such a great experience that it is hard to describe. It's something that everyone has to experience for themselves.
re: dolores
"Good" should be qualified there. There are a LOT of "Very Good" restaurants in Westchester. They just may not be traditional italian or high end places.
re: adamclyde
Not in my opinion. What are the VERY good restaurants in Westchester? I may not have been to them.
re: dolores
oy with the parking already. I totally disagree with the tapas places being too expensive generality. I really love and have enjoyed Peniche a bunch of times in the last few months. The space is great the service is gracious and the setting is hip without being too cool for school. You can enjoy a few tapas and very reasonably priced selections of wines by the glass. Check out the Spanish cavas ( sparking wines) on the list.
KarenNYC - if you are willing to go to Fleetwood then I highly suggest BarCar Eatery on Locust St. New restaurant - food is out of this world. Have been there 3 times already. Highly recommend the asparagus & portabello mushroom appetizer, the Rhode Island Skate (fish) entree and panacotta for dessert. OH and let's not forget the Sangria Martini. I know they are still building their website but you can get an idea by going to www.barcareatery.com Their ph# is 914-668-1100. OH - and they have valet parking so you don't have to worry about finding a parking space.
BarCar Eatery
706 Locust St, Mount Vernon, NY 10552
re: loon227
anyone have any thoughts on the melting pot. had dinner there twice and both were disappointing experiences. expensive and food not great.

Avg Retail Value: $3839.99
Promo Price: $639.99
The dress looked great on me it but was a little long so I had to switch my bridal shoes at the last minute and invest in longer heels just to make sure I do not trip.
Someone referred me to your website and as soon as I checked on your dresses, I called customer service to place an order. It was easy. The rep told me shipping will take a month but it was like three days delayed. Nevermind the late shipping. The dress was really a stunner in person and I super love it!
The design of this dress is perfect and impeccable. When I got it I was like, wow! It blew me away! How can this lovely creation be so affordable? You are simply the best among the rest.
Since I don't have standard body proportions I don't like pressure from bridal salespeople. It was a few days late but then I tried it on. This dress honestly is so flattering.
This is my first time shopping online. I'm a Facebook fan of the store. Choosing a dress was easier than I thought. I <3 SB. I'm going to tell my family.
My finance and I finally tied the knot with a beautiful outdoor wedding The sleeveless style well worth the money. I felt amazing in the wedding dress. I really like the Samantha wedding gown.
This made my day! I tried on my SimplyBridal wedding gown. The Samantha wedding dress looked awesome on me. The box was slightly dented but it was better than I expected. I was so amazed. It is so fabulous!
I never imagined how happy I was to receive my wedding dress today! It was even better than the pictures and I loved the sweetheart neckline. It will be a dream come true! It matches my shoes! This is wonderful. Thanks for the tremendous detail.
I had already purchased a dress from David's Bridal. I think the quality was absolutely amazing. I am so happy! I <3 SB!

Wither by Lauren DeStefano
The story behind the story for Wither is . . . there isn't one. I was holed up in bed with the flu when I started writing it, and as the sniffles and coughs subsided, I may have called out of work sick for the rest of the month so that I could keep writing uninterrupted. The more I wrote, the more Rhine's world appeared around me, and before I knew it, I had a first draft in less than a month. I didn't write Wit

Lindsay Lohan in 84-minute jail ordeal
Befreckled thespiatrix Lindsay Lohan has failed to break the "shortest celebutard porridge" record after spending a harrowing 84 minutes in jail for drunk driving and possession of Bolivian marching powder - two minutes longer than Nicole Richie served for a similar pissed-behind-the-wheel conviction. Lohan, 21, who was …
No need to ask...
... what the Paris Hilton angle is with this story!
I wonder what would have happened if Lyndsey Washington from Compton had been found drunk driving and in the company of Charley?
And so goes the celebrity song
I never knew what I did wrong
They said it was money talks
So I had to sing this song
To prove celebrity always walks
<end chorus>
The answer, my friend
is blowing in the wind.
Well, trousers, anyway.
Would you or wouldn't you
That is the only pertinent question.
I would.
And liberty and justice...
...for those who can afford it.
...unless you have enough money to escape aformentioned justice.
I love the guys comment that they release 30-50 early every day...
Oh, so the double standard isn't that you go easy on celebrities, it's that you go easy on women. Yeah, that's much better. Wankers.
Call me ignorant, but..
...who the fuck is this Lindsay Lohan woman?
She's famous for what exactly?
"Talented redhead"
Yeah, I've had a few of those in my time, too.
Most of them were drunk like Lohan too.
("Most" came out first time round like "Moist" thanks to a typo, so that sentence could have ended up entirely different...)
And Barry Bonds will get much longer than that...
....for lying.
Not saying that what either of them did was acceptable, but 4 years max for each of four counts of perjury and obstruction of justice vs. an hour for getting pissed and driving around like enough of a maniac to get stopped?
So he lied about steroids. She got blitzed and went for a joyride in her car.
I don't get American sentencing guidelines.
Re: Call me ignorant, but..
A redheaded Paris Hilton, it would seem.
Thus, I take she is another american bimbo, who have more breast and money than brains.
Besides that - I have no idea... And I suppose that is actually a good thing.
I Wonder
I wonder what she did for the 84 minutes.
Surely no cop cares enough about the woman to last that long
i'll get me coat.
RE: I wonder
"I wonder what she did for the 84 minutes."
Probably the same thing she does for most of her 84 minute celluloid outings.
Hope that helps,
Steven R

Mitt Romney Kicks Rick Perry While He's Down in the Polls
The GOP campaign for the nomination is getting ugly. Bachmann against Cain. Cain against Perry. Huntsman against Romney.
And now Romney against Perry…
Rick Perry will face a new round of criticism Thursday from Mitt Romney, who will stress a simple economic message to the Texas governor that "deficits matter."
SNAP! "Deficits matter" is the "Yo momma" of the political world. "Yo deficit is so fat, when Japanese Post-Keynesian economists see it, they run away yelling 'Godzillion (dollars in deficit)!'"
Romney's new line of attack comes days after Perry suggested he is less concerned about how his economic plan will affect the federal deficit in the short term and more focused on creating incentives for job creators to spur hiring in the country…
Critics have called Perry's economic proposal a "deficit buster" and one that will force the deficit "into the stratosphere…"
Romney has directed the majority of his attacks this campaign cycle towards the Texas governor, despite Perry's drop in the polls and lack of solid debate performances.
This must be payback for… what exactly? When Rick Perry clumsily attacked Mitt Romney making himself look incompetent and petty (influencing me to nickname him Rick Petty and The Heartbreakers) in the process?
Does Mitt Romney know Herman Cain is currently the frontrunner? In a way, it's almost a compliment. Mitt Romney is treating Rick Perry like he still matters.

Well, hello again! I don't even know if I need to address comments this week seeing as they were all, um, the same: Lisa needs to go. Well, unfortunately for you I have zero say over that, and since the finale has been shot already, well, you'll just have to watch what happens .... (Yes -- I'm as surprised as you that that is the first time I have used that phrase in my blog.)
And stay tuned to the end of my blog this week for details on my trip to Tramonto's Steak & Seafood including dessert food porn!
OK -- let's talk about this episode. I have a feeling we're going to get a lot of comments about the emphasis on beef this week, especially since so many of you have commented on wanting a vegetarian/vegan challenge. I can assure you that I have brought this up to people who have more power than me. But for this week, it was all about steak. As a big carnivore, I love steak. I grew up eating a lot of meat and steak was a big part of that, especially since steakhouses are some of the few fine dining destinations my whole family can agree on. In the Quickfire the chefs had to butcher their own meat, and well, I thought some of the physically weaker chefs might fall over. I have to say the whole scene reminded me of a scene from Fast Food Nation. Fortunately for them, they were given only the best cuts to deal with. In the end, Spike prevailed, thoroughly impressing Chef Tramonto. As a viewer I was skeptical as to how well a chef would really be able to butcher that size cut, but being able to discern a good cut from a messy one is a chef's job. He only had to look at and cut into the chef's creations to determine who came out on top and who fell to the bottom. A lot of people are afraid to eat pink/red meat, but you should always order medium-rare at a steakhouse if you want the best out of your beef, and Chef Tramonto was looking for that perfect color and texture.

South African producer-price inflation was unchanged in June, higher than economists expected, easing pressure on the central bank to cut interest rates to spur Africa's largest economy.
The cost of goods leaving factories and mines increased 6.6 percent from a year earlier, Pretoria-based Statistics South Africa said on its website today. The median estimate of 10 economists surveyed by Bloomberg was 5.9 percent. Prices rose 4.4 percent in the month.
The increase was "mainly due to higher electricity tariffs," Nedbank Group Ltd. (NED), South Africa's fourth-biggest bank, said in an e-mailed note to clients. "Producer inflation is expected to moderate in the months ahead." Interest rates "will remain stable well into 2013," the lender said.
The Reserve Bank last week cut its benchmark lending rate by half a percentage point to 5 percent to help buffer the economy from a slowdown in Europe as a debt crisis in the region curbs demand for exports. The bank lowered its growth forecast for this year to 2.7 percent from 2.9 percent.
Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd., the state-owned power utility, raised tariffs by 16 percent this year, partially offsetting the benefits of lower commodity prices on inflation. The rand has dropped 8 percent against the dollar since the beginning of May, raising import costs.
The rand was at 8.3177 against the dollar as of 1:05 p.m. in Johannesburg from 8.4242 before the data was released.
Rate Cut
Rising producer costs may add to pressure on consumer-price inflation, which slowed to 5.5 percent in June from 5.7 percent the month before. The central bank, which is required to keep consumer-price inflation within a range of 3 percent to 6 percent, expects the rate to average 5.6 percent this year.
Traders have been boosting bets the Reserve Bank will cut the repurchase rate again before the end of the year as inflation and growth slow. The yield on forward-rate agreements due in December fell 54 basis points, or 0.54 percentage points, to 4.7 percent in the past month.
Next year, the statistics agency plans to split the producer-price index into five separate measures -- agriculture, mining, electricity and water, intermediate manufacturing and final manufacturing -- and won't publish an aggregate headline index.
