How Rude? No Manners. Temper Tantrum

WEBSTER, TEXAS -- I was hired at the Outback located at 481 W. Bay Area Blvd.Webster, TX 77598. I was told to dye my hair because my roots were showing. I said that it was not a problem and that I would have it done immediately. This was on a Monday. I was told to come back on Wednesday at 3pm to take a test over the menu. I studied and I was prepared. My brother was in town from Indianapolis, so I sent him on a fishing trip for the day since I had this test. An hour before the test I received a text message from the Outback trainer. She was TEXTING, how unprofessional, to "remind me" that my test was Thursday at 3pm. She sent me a text message saying that was the date all along. I called her because this was incorrect, and if she needed to change the date at least she could have called and told me what happened. She then explained that she was busy and had other plans. How was this my fault? Then, she was irritated at me. I could hear it with her attitude and the tone of her voice. She set the date. I wrote it down when she told me. When I went in the following day to take the test she escorted me to a booth where I could take the test.
Then, she told me again that Mark the manager said I needed to dye my hair. I stated that I had just dyed it. I pulled my hair to show her the roots under the light. I started to take the test. I was almost done when [snip] the manager came out and said that I needed to dye my hair. I was confused so I asked why. He spoke to me in a tone that I did not care for. He said that my hair was to pink and that no one has the color of red I had in my hair. It had to be natural. I then asked if he wanted it more brown. I was trying to find out if I could still have red hair. He grabbed the test out of my hands, and continued to yell at me. He taunted me saying that, "You didn't even have the job 3 days and you're fired." He was smiling about it. He enjoyed humiliating me. I could tell that everyone there was scared of him.
The bartender that was there hid behind the computer and gave me the I'm sorry look. I was only trying to understand what color was acceptable. He talked to me in a manner that was simply unacceptable. I really needed the job, but I could never work for a person like that.

GRAPEVINE, TEXAS -- My wife and I have been customersâ at the Grapevine Outback location for 15 years now. We spend one evening, usually Friday evening, also Saturday and sometimes one more time each week at this establishment . Again, I mentioned that we have been doing this for 15 years. During this time we have met all the different management staff, employees and many patrons. As I am sure you are aware, there are some employees working at this location that have been at this location since our first visit, which is one of the main reasons that we enjoy and relish our attendance. I will mention at least one outstanding employee, Bridget, however there are many more that are tremendous and have become close friends (Rachel, Todd, Jackson, Trent, Meredith, to name a few). In addition, we have met many wonderful good people during our visits, and have become very close friends with many other âregularsâ and non regulars that dine and visit this location. I guess we just try to be friendly and help everyone enjoy their visit.
As you are aware, Outback is ânotâ the only restaurant available for us to frequent, however, because of the employees, the service, cleanliness, the standard for quality of food, pricing and variety of selection, we really only ever consider this restaurant. We even joke about it, well, âletâs try a new restaurantâ¦â¦.like â, and we end up at Outback. All who know us hear about how â great Outbackâ is. We solicit virtually everyone we come in contact with to frequent this establishment. We bring our family, our friends, and business associates to this location as stated prior on a regular basis.
I wish to apologize however for an incident that occurred Friday night, 12/23/2011 at this location. I arrived at Outback from work at about 6:30pm, and then my wife and oldest son arrived. We sat at the bar, as we usually do for cocktails and some dinner. Met and spoke with other couples that were sitting around us, laughed and were having a pleasant evening. Although the Restaurant was busy, âservice â was again fantastic, Bridget and Rachel working behind the bar and were just super attentive to all both sitting and standing around the bar area. We ordered some dinner, ate and visited with those around us. Met a very nice couple that resembles an actor and that also lives in Grapevine. Our son finished his dinner and departed at about 7:45pm.
All seemed fine until a group (two adult males, an adult female and young girl) came in and first sat across the bar from us, then moved to some seats that where vacated close to us. As I usually do, I greeted them, they sat down, and I didnât pay much other attention to them.
All of a sudden, the larger of the two men, started loudly and profanely complaining about the service and how absolutely filthy the bar area was. I looked around to see the what he might be speaking of, but could not really picture what was wrong as the area was busy. My wife responded to the man that he please not be so rude, loud, and asked as to what he was referring, to which he then basically told her to âshut the âfâup, and repeated his disgust with the establishment. It was then both my wife and I responded to the man that if he was unsatisfied, then maybe he should leave. His response became more profane, and told me to be careful for my actions because he would âfâ me up. I did then respond quite profane, stood up, stated again that may be he should leave if things were so horrid, and then I sat down. About this time, one of the assistant managers appeared with a couple of waiters, spoke to the man and then they escorted him back to the kitchen. By this time, the females that were with the men left, and the other man remaining, stated to me that his friend was going to âfâ me up, and to be very, very afraid of him. From my sitting position, my response was also stern and profane, yet I asked him if maybe they just leave and I would pay their tab. His response was something to the effect of âfâ you. I stated profanely with a âwhateverâ, and he left. However, the first man was still in the kitchen with the assistant manager. All seemed calm again.
I ordered some dessert, it came, and I ate it. My wife and I were still at the bar when another manager came up to me and stated that âIâ should leave. Well, that did irritate me. My âactionsâ during this event were not perfect,(as my natural voice is loud anyway), however, during the entire issue I remained seated except once, and was basically attempting to defend the staff and the Restaurant.
I then got up, laid $100.00 on the bar for our tab, and have left. Once outside, the first man was there still conversing with the assistant manager.

Disappointing and terrible service
Posted by
LITTLETON, COLORADO -- I am a widow and single mom of two boys ages 9 and 11. October 21 we ate at the Outback in Littleton, CO. We were sat in the back next to the kitchen, where the wait staff decided to set up their social hour. We had tea and water pitchers behind us and much conversation that my children really did not need to hear. Laughing, joking, and complaining. At one point we had a chapstick propelled under our table which my 9 year old was asked to retrieve. The food came out and was cold, my steak was dry and over cooked. My 9 year old was sharing my steak and did not like it either. I complained and sent it back and they offered him something else. He asked for the ribs. They brought out a children's portion of ribs with mashed potatoes. I ate my baked potato. I was charged for my steak. Never received a replacement and they took the steak back to the kitchen, apparently the cook wanted to see it. We went back for dinner last week on Nov. 24th. My eldest brought his brother's new 200 page Green Lantern book to read and was sitting next to me in the booth. We ordered dinner, the waiter also received a table of 6 adults which seemed to be much more important to him. He brought them bread and water. We received no bread or water. I had ordered a orange colored martini and he carried my drink in his left hand while balancing a tray of drinks for the other table. He went to set the drink down and spilled the drink across the middle of my son's "NEW" book and over the table. Laughed it off saying " I'm not that good at carrying those drinks." Walked off to deliver the other drinks, didn't apologize or offer to help dry things up. I asked my youngest to ask the girls in the front for some paper towels and cleaned up the mess, drying the book as much as possible. The manager eventually came over and asked if I wanted another drink. She told us not to worry and to enjoy our meal that she would take care of it and if we wanted dessert to order that as well. I did order another drink as well as a glass of water. We had to wave down the waiter and ask if we may have bread with our dinner. He then said he was sorry he had spilled the first drink. Our food came. I and my eldest ordered steak medium. Mine was perfect my son's was almost rare. He ate it not wanting to wait for another to come out. The boys ordered cheesecake for dessert. The manager came by to see how their dessert was and said she new how frustating it was to have a spill on a book because she had just spilled something on her cookbook that same day. I asked her if she was going to be taking care of the meals as well and she said sure if you would like. She went to catch the waiter. The bill came and the cheesecake and one kid's meal was removed from the bill. I was charged for my meal, another kid's meal and both my drinks. We paid and left. I have enjoyed going to the Outback for many many years. Not sure why the service has gone down hill so poorly but extremely disappointed. Its the last $100 I plan on spending there. I feel we were treated as second class citizens and I assure you we are not.

Raw pork, chicken and a manager that is either a liar or incompetent or both.
Posted by
AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Just got home from what I now consider to be the most poorly managed restaurant in Amarillo. I ordered the pork tenderloin and my wife ordered the chicken on the barbie. Our food came to the table and my sides had been forgotten. I pointed it out to the waiter and he replied with "Oh, we are out of green beans. sorry. Do you want anything else?" I told him what I would have and he went to get it. While he was gone I got ready to eat my pork tenderloin which is served sliced and drizzled in a sauce. As I separated the slices I saw that the pork was RAW. Not just a little undercooked, it was cold, slimy, mushy RAW! The waiter came back with my sides and I pointed out that my pork was raw. He told me that he would get me another one and in my disgust I just told him I didn't want anything else; I would just eat my sides and some bread. As I expected, I saw the manager come out from the kitchen and head toward our table. On the way he stopped and chatted with some waitresses that were milling around in the back of the restaurant. About that time they all looked over at myself and my wife and snickered. He then continued to our table and stated: "I understand that you didn't like your pork." I told him that it wasn't that I didn't like it, but that it was RAW. He then told me that the pork was cooked medium and that medium was a little rare for some people's tastes. -As an aside; I KNOW meat. Growing up slaughtering our own animals every year and taking some food and meat science classes in college have left me with what many would consider a near expert understanding of protein. Back to the story... The manager then proceeded to tell me that the pork was cooked fine and safe to eat. If I didn't have such an extensive knowledge of what raw pork looks and feels like I might have trusted him and ate it. Not only were his actions unethical, they are DANGEROUS! Trichinosis is just one of the serious and potentially fatal diseases caused by eating undercooked pork and this supposed "Food Service Professional" was looking me straight in the eye and telling me that this meat was safe to eat. I am just glad that this happened to me and not someone that would have believed this idiot. What's even more, a couple of minutes later my wife asked me to look at her chicken. She had cut into the thicker side of her breast and what do you think I saw? IT WAS RAW ALSO! I flagged the waiter over and asked him to get the manager. When he arrived I held the plate up and said "Touch this and tell me that it isn't raw." He touched it and without saying a word turned and walked back to the kitchen. For the next ten minutes we sat thirsty and hungry in our booth while every waiter in the restaurant avoided us like the plague. I don't know if he was hoping we would just walk out or what, but I wasn't leaving without him knowing that I didn't expect to pay a dime. While we were sitting and waiting to see how this was going to be handled I was suddenly startled by a voice behind me. The manager said "you don't owe us anything so you are free to go" and before I could even turn my head to see him he had already spun around and was scurrying off toward the kitchen.
This is not the way to treat a customer. No matter what kind of quality control is in place, sometimes there will be problems with the food; what separates good restaurants from bad restaurants is how they handle the situation and the attitude they take with their customers.
If a customer tells you that their food is raw you do not in any circumstance tell them that they are wrong and that it is safe to eat. You also need to apologize to the customer and take reasonable measures to remedy the situation. This did not happen tonight and it is not acceptable.
My advise to anyone eating out: If you think there is a problem with your food, don't eat it. No matter what the waiter or manager tells you, it is not worth the risk. My experience tonight just goes to show that some establishments would rather lie to you and possibly put your life in jeopardy than to admit that they had made a mistake.

Terrible Steak, Poor Customer Service
Posted by
SURPRISE, ARIZONA -- On 4-23-09 at approximately 4PM, my wife and I entered the Outback Steakhouse in Surprise, Az. The place was almost empty and we didn't have any wait for a table. The server came quickly and we put in our order of a Blooming Onion and ordered our steaks. I ordered a 20oz Melbourn at $24.00 and my wife ordered prime rib. When the meals arrived and were placed, I told the server that she gave my steak to my wife and I didn't think that what she placed in front of me was prime rib. The server stated "no, you have the Melbourn and she has the "RIBEYE". My wife said "I didn't order a ribeye, I ordered PRIME RIB". The server said "No, that is the ribeye that you ordered". I asked why my steak didn't look like the photo in the menu, as that is why I ordered it. The photo showed a very thick cut and what I had placed in front of me was a 1/2 inch piece of gray meat. She informed us that the cuts are not represented by any photos in the menu. She told us we got what we ordered. Both cuts were extremely poorly done, tough, and grisley and lacked taste. We were charged over $61.00 for that meal, and would have gladly paid it, if it was what we ordered. We felt that it had to be the worst meal we had ever eaten.
A few day later, I emailed the Manager of the Outback in Surprise, Az about our concerns and displeasure with our dinner. I received an email from [snip], Managing Partner, asking permission to speak to me direct over the phone. She called me the next evening and stated she was sorry to hear about how my experience was in her restaurant as she was on duty that evening and usually meets with all of the patrons. She asked what was wrong with the meal and I started to explain the problem and she basically informed me that I got what I ordered, that my wife and I couldn't read their menu and they didn't do anything wrong. It was OUR fault for going into Outback. She didn't have the capacity to understand my outrage in being treated by her as some kind of fool. What did I expect, a free meal?
That I was going to complain and force Outback to refund my meal? I never had any intent to demand anything from Outback, that's why we paid our bill and left. Now, however, after being dressed down by Ms Thompson, a Managing Partner, I will go to great lengths to inform anyone who will listen about the customer service that Outback is delivering to their patrons. She offered to "send you something in the mail", as if I was a deadbeat patron who sponges off these chains for a free meal.
She should be in management, as this is probably a step up from dishwasher. Her customer service skills are inadequate at best and I hope the Corporate Office is proud of their managerial staff nationwide in general, and Ms Thompson in particular. After reading other blogs about Outback, I can see that they suffer nationwide with poorly trained managers and servers, and are causing patrons to never eat their again.

Problem With the Food and Prices, Size Smaller, and Cuts Not Correct
Posted by
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA -- On Sept 7th around 1 pm. First I noticed the Blooming Onion was smaller, about half the size. I didn't say anything. But it appears to be a trend now also seized on by Outback to make food portions smaller and charge the same price.
I ordered an 8 oz Flo Filet, the large one. When it was bought to the table again it was smaller and looked like a top sirloin or something, thin and small. This time it was incensed and said something. I expect a Filet Mignon to be thick and pink in the middle. The manager tried to tell me it was a small thin filet. I know what a filet is supposed to look like and I guess they think everyone is an idiot and will fall for their lousy cuts of steak. When I cut into it, it was also obvious they had overcooked it because it was a thin steak so it was not pink in the middle.
I will never eat at Outback Steakhouse again. They have lost me as a customer forever. I would suggest to not eat at Outback as they have obviously made a lot of changes to go smaller and cheaper. It's not like it used to be.

Food Not Prepared to Customer Satisfaction
Posted by
KEY WEST, FLORIDA -- First of all the wait staff was great, my wife and I ordered steaks which we both like well done (on the menu well done is described as no pink showing). Our meal came out in no time well seasoned but when we check to see if it was cooked all the way through we both had a medium well cooked steak, no problem we call our wait staff over and explained she agreed and remember how we ordered our steaks. About 15 minuets later the manager brings our steaks to our table both steaks are cooked about the same almost looking like car tires and wanted used to check it to see if that was cooked enough, with just short of a smirk on his face. It's sad because, we eat at Outback everywhere and this is the only Outback that we have had problems with we live here in Key West, this manager just think steaks should be cooked to his liking not the customer. We'll still keep going to Outback but not in Key West.

I Will Never Eat at Outback Steakhouse Again
Posted by
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE -- I went to Outback Steakhouse on union ave. on August 24,2013 around 3:00pm my mom is a pastor so as I our church members told us about the Restaurant so we gave it a try. My mom called a day ahead to make sure they could accommodate a large party they said yes but that was totally not true. We had to move several times in the Restaurant the first waitress took so long with our drinks and when she finally got them they were watered down not good at all then we had to move to another table and this young lady was OK but the same issue came up took 45 minutes to bring our bread and took and hour to bring the food some had meat on the plates with no veggies like I had wigs and ribs the wings were hard but the ribs were OK after they finally got our veggies on the plates our meat was cold or eaten up I will never send anyone to Outback the worst time ever don't come especially if you have a large party they will not enjoy themselves

Hair in Salad
Posted by
TAMPA, FLORIDA -- Tampa (Henderson Street). Dec. 27 found hair in salad, and Manager saw it and comped $9.99 of $78 total bill. When my family was not with me I called and told him I was surprised he did not comp entire bill. I could have loudly complained as the restaurant was at full capacity, but opted to keep it low-key. He credited another $21 to my Visa but I feel the entire $78 should have been comped. Also, my guests were hesitant eating their own salads, and the one that ordered a Cobb Salad didn't even finish half of it as she lost her appetite! While Manager said this compensation was standard in the industry, I immediately found examples online where other Outback Managers comped the entire meals for hair in a sandwich and also a salad -- and their total bills exceeded $100. Comments or Feedback -- is this acceptable?

Male lions are a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to fathering. Notorious loungers, they'll lie in the shade, often ignoring their cubs, while the females risk life and limb on the hunt. When a kill is made, they show up and insist on being first to eat, sometimes leaving only scraps for the rest of the pride. It's not until his family is threatened that the male's fatherly instincts kick in. Often charged with the welfare of a dozen lionesses and 20 or more cubs, a male lion will summon all his celebrated ferocity to protect his pride.

That's like concluding we will support UVD in the open drivers because we support most of the other blocks. Reasonable if you don't look too closely.
But very clear
Not AMD fault, but AMD add workaround to driver anyway.That was changed.
Anything else?
Well as long as fglrx runs you can use the aticonfig command to enable h264 l5.1. but xbmc fernet menta branch is currently everything else than stable - especially when you dont use it fullscreen only but windowed or when you switch between both ways using \. do you try xbmc fm git code often?
I find it curious that the AMD people imply they have some inside info on Intel's discrete efforts. What makes you think the hypothetical GPU would not be open, or that Knight's Corner will not have the rest open-sourced too once it actually starts selling a bit?
If you're referring to the currently not-perfect GCC support for it, I find it likely that will change in the future.
It IS AMDs fault if it is the only driver that does not work in gnome3.
I don't have that crashdump anymore, it's been a while since then, but I do not doubt that you can still get it to crash if you try.
Yeah it was maybe changed, ignoring the fact that VDPAU worked fine out of the box and we're still struggling with xvba and that you have to do some very badly documented things and use some very bleeding edge software to get it to work.

comment 14 of this bugreport carefully?
going to change. When XBMC-XvBA Team patches will be accepted by upstream ffmpeg, any ffmpeg-based application will be capable of using XvBA.
HWUVD_H264Level51Support probably require wide testing before going to be enabled by default.

Thanks, after months of already knowing this, it's good to have confirmation, LOL
All the fuss and money spent to return The Munsters to the small screen has been for not. NBC has officially passed on The Munsters reboot Mockingbird Lane.
Producer Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies) tweeted: "I tweet with a heavy heart, NBC not moving forward with #MockingbirdLane. From producers and cast, thank you all for enthusiasm and support".
The pilot drew 5.4 million viewers and received fair reviews. The series featured Jerry O' Connell, Portia de Rossi, and Eddie Izzard.
Did you see the pilot? Would you have liked to seen the further adventures of the Munster Family?
Thanks, after months of already knowing this, it's good to have confirmation, LOL
I enjoyed it and would have stuck with it. Oh well.
I really liked it. Instead of the other reboots in the past 20 years which were exact copies of the original, this updated it for modern times with a large budget and clever writing.
The original Munsters was camp fun. Like every reboot, Mockingbird Lane made the Munsters dark, with little to no humor whatsoever. I kept waiting for something to make me at least grin. Nothing; absolutely nothing.
Did I hate it? No, but I am not shedding any tears that it will not be a regular series.
Let's face it.. It sucked. Sorry If it's not the campy fun then it's not the Munsters. That's what made the Munsters awesome. Ya can't change stuff like that around.
Glad it's shelved.
A depressed deer didn't make you smile? Anyway I could take it or leave it, I would have watched future episodes to see if it would have turned out better. My kid liked it, she keeps asking if there will be more.
It was ok, fair to middling. This is not a surprise.
i would have watched more
Wow SHOCKING. The only surprise here is that they ever made that POS
That's what happens when you try to do things through NBC.

Steamed Chicken in Lotus Leaf
I have always loved sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf (荷叶饭), commonly available at Cantonese dim sum restaurants. I love the earthy aroma lotus leaves impart to the dish, and most of all, I love it that the leaves retain the moisture and natural flavors of the ingredients. The leafy nuance and fragrance complement and not compete with the preparation. Lotus leaf is really wonderful and I wonder why it's not as widely used in home-cooking as it should be. So, I decided to purchase a pack of lotus leaf and try it out in my everyday Chinese cooking.
I used the lotus leaf to make steamed chicken—a common Chinese dish. After the first bite of the deeply flavorful and nicely-scented chicken, I have only regretted it has taken me this long to attempt using lotus leaf in my kitchen, when it was fairly easy and so convenient. With the experiment last night, I resolve to use it more and a few ideas have popped-up in my mind: sticky rice, salt-baked chicken, steamed spare ribs, and maybe even beggar's chicken. I am so thrilled with the many possibilities…
Below is my steamed chicken recipe. You can make the steamed chicken regularly without wrapping it with lotus leaves, but trust me, once you do it this way, you will probably never go back to the plain version.

This steamed chicken looks really good, I can imagine the good taste. Where did you get the lotus leaf?
I love Beggar's chicken. I hope you can share the recipe of Beggar's chicken. Thanks in advance.
What a creative looking recipe…oh my beyond delicious!
I need to get a pack of those next time I'm in Chinatown. I love lo mai gai at dimsum and the chicken and lap cheong inside are the best parts!
Chunky chicken in the natural wrapping paper is like a surprising summer gift! Love the elegant aroma of lotus leaf :)
Yea, wanted to ask the same question regarding where you get the lotus leaves. There are some Cantonese restaurants that serve lotus leaf fried rice…it is very very delicious if done well :)
Bee, I liked the fragrance impart from the lotus leaves to the food too! This dish of yours is a superb idea of steaming chicken.
Whoa, that looks so good and definitely reminds me of 2 of my favorite dishes at a dim sum restaraunt. I live in Baltimore and haven't been able to find lap cheong anywhere, do you know if they allowed to sell them online? I've looked on amazon but doesn't quite look right. Anyhow, love your blog and this recipe looks so delicious.
Sticky rice is my husband's favorite dim sum item too, Bee. You're right, you can use it to wrap all sorts of goodies. Thnx for the idea, got to try it. Looks incredibly appetizing.
I love food wrapped and cooked in leaves. This is so yummy. Thanks for the recipe.
Hi, just wondering whether we can use fresh lotus leaves instead of dried ones? thanks.
my absolute childhood favorite for dim sum…and still now as an adult!
Hi Bee, are dried lotus leaves easier to handle than fresh ones? I have seen the dried ones sold at Chinese medical halls and I am wondering if after soaking, they would be more pliable than the fresh leaves…
I love this dish, just wondering why not making it recently. I should better take yours as a reminder, thanks.
While dried lotus leaves are popular here for preparing different dishes, we also like to cook the fresh ones with winter melon as a soup during summer, which is said to help reduce dampness and heat in our bodies : ).
The lotus leaf is so interesting, I am intrigued by the earthy aroma. Like the package presentation. Would love to try this!
want to try the recipe but realise you did not mention abt the ginger strips. when do i add it. thanks
Huh, chicken looks great.
hai this prabhakar
very funny… and cool and making fool. nice.
i have read this side, its really amazing the fantastic recipes
Hi. I can't found the oyster sauce in market. Is there any other sauce which i can use in place of this sauce.

Then they aren't good enough to make the playoffs. They can't beat Columbus at home and a NYI team that's falling apart they're in trouble.
Lesser team beat better teams quite a bit. That's looking at it way too black and white. The season is barely a quarter old.
No, I wouldn't be thrilled if the Devils stumbled against these teams, but I wouldn't assume all was lost either.

To make fans work quietly,
manufacturers use slow-running
motors to spin the blades. This
reduces noise but also reduces
power, producing weak airflow.
To make powerful fans, they use fast motors to spin the blades.
But fast motors create more noise.
Powerful and quiet is very difficult
to achieve in a conventional fan. The new AM06 desk fan has been
engineered to be quieter, and use a brushless DC motor that consumes 30% less energy than AM01
– yet generate powerful airflow.
Air is accelerated through an annular
aperture, drawing in surrounding air
to project smooth, powerful, high-velocity
airflow. No blades. No choppy air.

Existing bugs and feature requests for GitPlugin are here.
If you have any issues, create a new ticket.
Download the zipped source from here.
You can check out GitPlugin from here using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.
An experimental branch of this plugin with a hacky caching feature and some bug fixes is available from here.
NOTE: This project seems to be unmaintained, the version from nanosleep seems better maintained (same as the "experimental" branch above).
Simply point your Trac instance to a local git repository:
[trac] repository_dir = /var/git/Test.git repository_type = git
/!\ NOTE: "Test.git" needs to be the .git repo directory, not the directory that holds the .git
If installed globally, don't forget to enable the plugin:
[components] gitplugin.* = enabled

Very pleased! how great not to have to go to the store and look for this! So convenient
This was a great purchase. Shipping was quick and the item was packed well. The bedframe was made well and easy to "assemble" . I'm very happy overall
For the same money, you can get a great quality bed frame at any mattress or furniture store. The metal work on the corner hinges is not solid. The picture is note accurate: THIS FRAME DOES NOT INCLUDE ROLLERS. The other pic showing today - is accurate: bell shaped PLASTIC feet. No casters/rollers are included at all. Too much trouble to send back, or I would. It was for my daughter's room, but I am using in a guest room instead since the bed gets less use.
Sturdy for the most part. Like any frame the expectation is strength. This did not disappoint.
Nice and sturdy bed frame. Does it's job. Would recommend.
Great frame but no screws or bolts included.
The shipment arrived earlier than expected and the frame was perfect!
What can I say its a metal bed frame overall we are happy with it.
This is an awesome deal. The same price as Big Lots but you get it delivered! The frame is sturdy and easy to set up. Thanks again Overstock!!
Cheap price = cheap quality. Three out of four feet were cracked. Wrapped them in some heavy tape so hopefully they will hold. Frame was bent, too and had to hammer it straight.

The Lakeside Blog springs forth from the creative mind of Michelle Bruck at the Interlaken Inn, Lakeville, CT. She writes about events, great places to visit and cool things to do – in and around Lakeville & Salisbury Connecticut.

Lighten things up!
On Mondays, that is! I wanted to let you know of a change in our menu in Morgan's for the rest of the season, and perhaps beyond!
We are offering a lighter fare for your tastebud enjoyment. The hours are the same (5pm to 9pm) and the bar is fully stocked and ready to go as usual. The new menu consists of the following:
Skyfarm Organic Baby Greens with strawberries, feta and strawberry flax vinaigrette
Morgan's Caesar Salad with romaine, croutons, and herb chicken breast
Warm Turkey Club with crisp bacon, swiss, tomato, lettuce and horseradish sour cream
Grafton Gold Cheddar Grilled Cheese with tomato and bacon
COMFORT FOOD choice!
This COMFORT FOOD item of our menu will change weekly, but whatever it is it will be sure to comfort you! Dinners you remember having as a child. Last week we offered a Roasted Organic Half Chicken with mashed potatoes and haricot vert (aka green beans), and this week we offered Southern Fried Chicken with coleslaw and french fries. I'm holding out for homemade macaroni and cheese!
Lighten up with us by dining on Monday nights!
School's out - Summer vacation, here I come!
Well, not for me, but certainly for my kids! As my daughters finish up their last day of school today, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic – back to the days of being their age and having that wonderful feeling of the whole summer ahead of me. My "Guest friend" Cindy and I were talking about this the other day, remembering that feeling on the very last day of school, and feeling it again by sleeping late many mornings after. I can only feel that emotion through my children, and I'm happy to live it through them at this point! As we make lists of what we want to do this summer, I thought I might share how you and your children can enjoy a couple of days of summer at Interlaken!
Although my girls would find the pool and the lake at Interlaken as certainly enough fun, I realize that you may be looking for a bit more than that. In addition to swimming and boating, we also have tennis courts, a basketball court, a game room, and a DVD library with a large choice of family movies. All of our rooms have LCD TV's with a built-in DVD player for your watching pleasure!
If you wish to venture into the local area, let me make some kid friendly recommendations:
Miniature golf & batting cages, soft serve.
Action Wildlife.
Millbrook Zoo.
Biking on the Harlem Valley Rail Trail.
Robin's Candy Store!
Explore an aerial forest ropes course at Catamount Adventure Park.
Hiking to Lion's Head (short hike, great views).
Cosmic bowling at the Cove.
Bash Bish Falls.
Horseback Riding through the Litchfield Hills.
If you want more information about any of these activities, just give us a call and we'd be happy to plan a whole day of fun for you and your summer vacationing children!
Flower Power!
WOW. This is what I said when I arrived at the Inn today. I said it as soon as I saw all of the parked cars, traffic being directed, boxes being carried in, vases and watering buckets, and greenery, greenery and more greenery!
I said WOW again when I walked into the building. I wish I could do a "scratch and sniff" right here so you could smell what I smelled as soon as I opened the door. It was like sweet Earth. A greenhouse scent with sugar on top. And I am fortunate enough to smell this for the next couple of days!
I said WOW one more time when I walked into the meeting room where the Flower Show was taking place. Talk about eye candy! (you've probably figured at this point that I do love flowers). I admire flowers and shrubs of all kinds where ever I go, so to have such unique displays right at my fingertips, well instead of saying WOW again, let's say LUCKY ME! My favorite was the "Breakfast in Bed" category - tea cup and all! In addition to the flower show, participants can enjoy self-guided Lake Nature walks, boutique shopping on-site, tours of Connecticut and New York gardens, roundtable discussions, award ceremonies and plenty of meals through-out the three day event.
OK, what group is here, you probably want to know, right? I have been looking forward to this week for quite some time - it's the week that Millbrook Garden Club is hosting "Country Life" - a GCA Zone III Flower show. I have been here for many years and have seen many groups come for many reasons - scrapbookers, quilters, wood carving, bridge, men's club, religious retreats - but for me this one is a first! It just goes to show you how versatile the meeting space we have is. The Interlaken property certainly compliments the Garden Club's activities by surrounding the buildings with such pretty gardens maintained by Salisbury Garden Center. There are flowers all over the place - I love it! What a way to start the official first day of summer!
Give Kristy Barto, our Corporate and Retreat Sales Manager, a call to talk about what event you can host at the Interlaken!
P.S. Want to see what I am seeing? The boutique is open to the public Thursday, June 23rd from 8am to 12pm!
Interlaken Chit Chat
Today I thought I'd share with you some of the wonderful comments I received back from our Guests about their recent stay at Interlaken!
Appreciated how helpful everyone was at reservations, checkin, etc.
My room was lovely and clean.
It was almost like going 'home' as we had the whole house to ourselves most of the time.
My stay with you folks was wonderful.
Nothing was a problem and everything was done with true sincerity to please the customer. EXCELLENT!
Our room was great - loved the little screened in porch - too bad we didn't have time to use it...maybe next time!
The wedding dinner was wonderful! Kudos to the kitchen!!!!
Staff is friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable.
We had such a wonderful weekend at Interlaken sharing our friend's wedding. What a wonderful location, it was very unique and we will definitely have very special memories of our stay.
We had a great stay - as always!! 215 is like going to our 2nd home!! It's great that we can get our car/trailer in the parking area there also.
The rooms were comfortable and well decorated.
I loved my room and all the wedding events and I would definitely come again.
We could not have been happier with our wonderful suite and look forward to coming again.
The food at the Audi Club banquet was very good and your staff was delightful.
Everything was great. I would be happy to come back if I am in the area
Food was surprisingly good at restaurant.
We especially enjoyed using the canoes on the lake.
Breakfast was good and the restaurant staff was attentive.
I stay at Interlaken Inn every time I do a Porsche Club Drivers Ed day at Lime Rock. Plan to do it a lot more times.
My stay with you folks was wonderful. I'm looking forward to coming up again.
I highly recommend the Interlaken.
Come stay with us so you can share your comments with me too!
An unsunny day
Even though all my pictures usually show blue sky and sunny days, let's be realistic here - there are rainy days at Interlaken. Today is one of them.
No worries! We can turn your outdoor plans into indoor plans until the rain moves out of here! Save your gas and keep your car parked as we can keep you busy right on property. Relax with a deep tissue massage at ELLORA Spa and Sanctuary. Rent a movie from our complimentary DVD library in our main lobby. Visit our Executive Lounge area for lots of indoor fun!
Challenge your significant other to a game of pool, ping pong or air hockey.
Relax with a book from our extensive library.
Or play a board game at one of our card tables.
Do you wish to head out and visit the local area?
- Tea taste over at Harney and Sons Fine Teas in neighboring Millerton, NY. Try their "tea of the moment", most likely a tea you've never had before. Shop for tea accessories in their gift store. Do a little antique shopping on Main Street, and stop at Kamilla's Flower Boutique to see "more than just flowers".
- Want something a bit stronger than tea? Visit Millbrook Vineyards and Winery in Millbrook, NY, a pretty 30 minute drive through the Hudson Valley.
- Head to the Berkshires and visit the Norman Rockwell Museum, open daily from 10am to 5pm. Learn about Mr. Rockwell's life and view his many famous illustrations. While in the area, enjoy some retail therapy at the Lee Prime Outlets, or swing by the center of Great Barrington for some unique shopping experiences. Strike out at the Cove Bowling Lanes right on Route 7.
- Bring home a souvenir for your favorite pup by stopping at Petpourri in Lakeville, CT. Head across the street and visit The White Gallery to see more of David Dunlop's amazing work. I say "more" because if you've noticed the amazing artwork in our lobby, you've already seen his work! Amazing is an understatement, I might add!
After your day out, remember to end it with a terrific meal prepared by the Interlaken Chefs at Morgan's!
Time for a Dip!
On a steamy hot day in the summer - or like today in New England - a consistent refreshing activity is always a dip into the POOL!
Ours is ready to go and has had many visitors this week! I wandered out earlier, hoping I would feel refreshed just looking at it, and sure enough, I was. The blue water is crystal clear - well, the water isn't really "blue" of course, but it is crystal clear!
The low end is 3 feet deep and the deep end is 9 feet. There are plenty of chaise lounges around the pool, along with colorful flowers and pretty shrubbery for privacy from the distant buildings that surround the courtyard area.
We have umbrellas also to provide some shade as necessary. There are plenty of towels at the pool (Geoff will be happy to hear this!), so there's no need to bring any from your room, or from your home for that matter!There is also a vending machine right there offering cold drinks of Dasani water and Vitamin water. The restaurant is a short walk from the pool if you are in need of a bite to eat! Looks like we've got you covered - just a little SPF and you are good to go!
A RIVER runs through IT
"IT" being the beautiful countryside of the Litchfield Hills, and the "RIVER" being the Houstaonic River!
I usually head North on Route 7 as I head out from Interlaken, but the other day special plans brought me down to Cornwall, so I headed South on Route 7 instead. Well, I must say - what a pretty ride it was! You actually "hug" the mountainside while driving through thick shady trees, so lush and green, and for many miles the river runs right alongside you. It was a bright sunny day and the river was just sparkling! I wanted to stop the car and jump in! (OK, maybe just dip my toes in!). I am always talking about water, but referencing our lakefront, so I thought it would be nice to still talk about water and reference the beautiful Housatonic River instead!
You can actually paddle 10 miles of this river by simply visiting Clarke Outdoors in West Cornwall, CT, right on Route 7, just 10 minutes away from the Interlaken. You can either rent a canoe, kayak or a raft for your adventure out on the water. Your wet journey will begin in Falls Village (transported by van) and then end at the Housatonic Meadows Picnic area. Halfway through you will go under the historic Cornwall Bridge,and you can stop and either picnic there or find a nice place for lunch in the little village. Bring your camera (waterproof is recommended!) as there will be many places along the way to take some amazing nature shots. This is definitely on my agenda this summer with my family, be sure to put it on yours too!
Golf X 7
Interlaken is fortunate enough to have not just a couple of golf courses nearby, but, yup, count 'em - 7! I am not a golfer, but if I was and came to Interlaken I'd think I was in golf heaven! Over the course of a long weekend it would be possible to play a round at all seven of them! Each course is listed in more detail on our website - so click here for more specifics.
One course we recommend highly (and not just because it's right next door to the Interlaken, within walking distance) is the Hotchkiss Golf Course. This semi-private 9 hole course is certainly lovely to drive by each day, so I would be confident to say it's an equally wonderful course to play! I asked someone who plays there often (but not often enough of course!) and here are his thoughts about Hotchkiss Golf Course:
"It's such a peaceful course surrounded by such a historic facility (Hotchkiss School). Whether you are playing the fourth hole looking out at the beautiful music auditorium, or seeing the breathtaking views of Lake Wononscopomuc on the sixth hole, or being challenged by the ninth hole (which he happens to think is one of the most difficult in all of Connecticut), Hotchkiss Golf Course is a course not to miss. Mr. Kennedy who runs the center is a real pro and a knowledgable Lakeville resident."
Golf, anyone?
Summer Fun is coming!
For anyone who spent their holiday weekend here with us at Interlaken, either taking a refreshing swim in the outdoor pool or kayaking at the lake, you couldn't help but feel SUMMER in the air! The sun was bright and hot each day, the sky was blue with puffs of clouds, and the temperature couldn't have been more summer-like! Honestly, it was such a pleasure to get a jump on the season like this since Mr. Winter hung around New England way longer than preferred! Anyway, who wants to talk about winter anymore? Since Memorial Day is the "official" kick-off to the summer for Interlaken, I thought it would be fun in my next several blogs to give you a taste of what happens around here in the quickly approaching "official" summer season!
TriArts at the Sharon Playhouse
Everyone needs to take the time to visit this charming summer theater over in Sharon, CT. You will be amazed at the talent that comes from this 300 seat air-conditioned building that has been home to Tri-Arts since 2003. There are shows to fit the entire family for a pleasant afternoon or evening out! Each year, the shows are fabulous, and this year is no exception! The featured shows are:
42nd Street - June 23rd to July 10th
RENT - July 15th to July 24th
Hairspray - August 4th to August 21st
There are also some other shows during the season, one being DIVAS DO THE RED CARPET. Interlaken is a proud sponsor of this show running at the end of August.
Now remember that Morgan's Restaurant is open for a bite to eat either before or after the show! Tri-Arts Theater is just 10 minutes away from the Interlaken property.

C's persevere through season of ups and downs
Friday, February 15, 2013
BOSTON — One by one, the injuries hit the Boston Celtics: First Rajon Rondo, then Jared Sullinger, and finally Leandro Barbosa — all out for the season.
They went back to the NBA finals in 2010 and then lost in back-to-back years to the Miami Heat, including a seven-game series in last year's Eastern Conference finals. This year's team, which got only marginally younger when Jason Terry replaced Ray Allen, was written off both before the season and again when Rondo tore his ACL.
"The last four to five days have been exhausting for me. Mentally more than physical," said Garnett, who played 47 minutes against the Nuggets. "It's been a bit of a whirlwind."
"Y'all don't know what I know," said Garnett, who is averaging 15 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. "Let's just put it like this — I'm more than grateful for going. I'm not going to act like I've got more All-Star games in me. So I'm just going to actually enjoy this one with friends and family. That's what I meant."

Keys To A Successful 2011 Season
In a word, the key to a successful Redskins season hinges one thing: health. The 'Skins seemed poised to make a deep playoff run until rookie wonder kid Robert Griffin III injured his knee. For Griffin to already be missing playing time this early in his career can spell doom for a young team like the Redskins. Washington could have been even more dangerous could linebacker Brian Orakpo have stayed healthy and wide receiver Pierre Garcon avoided ongoing health concerns which limited his production.

What Are The Redskins Draft Day Needs?
When it comes to preparing for the National Football League Amateur draft, there are a couple of important questions to consider. One of the first questions fans ask is 'how do the players rank?' Another question of particular interest is 'What Are The Redskins Draft Day Needs?' This year those two questions go together nicely and present quite a problem for the team. Their major need is to get a reliable franchise quarterback they can build around for years. The team has used different starters for several seasons with the same unfortunate result.

Redskins In The Hall of Fame
As one might expect from a football franchise with as rich a history as the Redskins, there are a number of Redskin players and coaches in the Hall of Fame. In total there are twenty-six players and coaches who spent time with the organization, but some earned their Hall of Fame stripes with other teams.
One iconic coach that earned his Hall of Fame status with the Redskins is Joe Gibbs. While he coached the Redskins two separate times, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame based on his first twelve year stint from 1981 to 1992. Another iconic Read more »

Underwhelming Under Center
Surveying the ruins of another failed storming of the playoff castle, 2010 was not without its high points. Unfortunately, the play under center, which was expected to provide a steadying hand to an otherwise question mark offense, quickly soured from asset to liability. In his first season with the 'Skins, Donovan McNabb turned in the worst quarterback rating since his rookie year in 1999, plummeting from 92.9 in 2009 to 77.1 in 2010. While the statistics calculation may be a bit mind boggling to everyday football fans, his year appears less than impressive even to the naked eye. Completing under 60 of his passes and hurling 15 interceptions to just 14 touchdowns, one would be tough pressed to find any metrics by which McNabb's stint in Washington could be deemed a success.So with the Redskins season now ended prematurely, the question remains, will 5 be back for an encore in burgundy and gold? In November, McNabb signed a 5-year contract extension worth 70 million, as much as 88.5 million if all incentives are reached (they won't be). While a contract extension may sound like a commitment last summer's hottest name in DC football circles, in the backwards world of NFL contracts, it actually makes it less likely Redskins faithful will see McNabb suit up in 2011. Due just 3.5 million in guarantees, Washington brass will save themselves a 10 million option bonus, not to mention the remainder of the contract, if McNabb is released this off-season. Read more »

a quick question: is real audio streaming of MP3 content supported on Asha full touch and/or Asha software platform devices? If not, what are the available options? Progressive download? RTSP? Anything else?
a quick question: is real audio streaming of MP3 content supported on Asha full touch and/or Asha software platform devices? If not, what are the available options? Progressive download? RTSP? Anything else?
Ciao Jappit,
when you mean real audio streaming do you mean Real (the company) propriatery formats or real time audio streaming?
I can tell you that RTSP is indeed available on Asha FT (you can check out my app http://store.ovi.com/content/387063 which streams rtsp vod starcraft2 games)
progressive download i believe should work (as it does on the symbian ones that support it) but i never tested it on any Series40 device.
Among "Audio Features" at Asha 311 Device details an "Audio Streaming" is presented. Unfortunately, without supported formats description.
Does anyone know mp3 and aac streaming is supported? Most common internet radio are broadcast using one of these formats.
Yes, mp3 is supported. I'm listening to a mp3 stream with my radio app ( http://store.ovi.com/content/385305 ) with my Asha 311 right now.
Thank you Kaj-Michael. Player works good.
Could you provide an example on how to play mp3 streams?
Did you use some third party libraries or it's on pure J2ME Mobile Media API?
There are plenty of examples in the wiki, for example this one: http://developer.nokia.com/Community...dio_in_Java_ME
But the most important thing is to set "progressive_download: enabled" in your midlets .jad file to enable streaming playback.
Thanks. Will try to implement a simple app as soon as I'll have some spare time.
How can I build a streaming based Java app for Asha mobiles.
Any suggestions as Iam new to java programming.
If you are trying to stream audio or music on S40 with J2me... use progressive download On settings in JAD with MIDP media Player.
You can also see - http://developer.nokia.com/Community...dio_in_Java_ME
(Champion of the Month -Aug'13)
Follow me on my blog for Innovative Mobile Apps
And of course when a board lists 5 threads, and the second one is called "Audio streaming on Asha devices", you may want to check it. Even if you will say "Live TV" in your next post (I remember you usually want more than audio).

The End of an Era (for now...)
After over a decade of making and supplying the world's finest whips online, master whipmaker Mike Murphy has commenced a new venture.
He is now applying his considerable bowhunting and archery skills and knowledge to
By providing the same extensive level of knowledge and service as murphywhips, he has rapidly built up this business supplying mainly Australian bowhunters and archers with quality equipment and advice.
As a result of the success and time this new business requires he is not currently able to make any more murphywhips.
If you are currently an owner of an incredible Murphy whip - be proud of the fact that you have one of the world's best whips.
If you would like a Murphy whip you may have to convince a current owner to part with one.
Good luck with that.

Starting with America's first alpine ski tow, built on a Woodstock farm in 1934 and the first chairlift in the nation on Mt. Mansfield in 1940, plus the first Nordic ski center at Trapp Family Lodge, the first ski academy at Burke Mountain, and Burlington as headquarters to Burton snowboards - Vermont is a historic leader in U.S. snowsports.
Today, Vermont is a true winter destination. Adventure and relaxation are found in abundance! This is a serious skiing state – with 19 alpine ski resorts, 30 cross-country touring centers and, in total, 6,090 acres of alpine terrain, 1,209 trails, 184 lifts, 1,900 km of Nordic trails. Vermont skiing and riding accommodates every level, from the advanced downhiller to the training toddler, from moguls and terrain parks to quiet cross-country jaunts on back-country skis or snowshoes.
The ten-year average annual mountain snowfall is about 207 inches, and the majority of Vermont's alpine terrain is covered by state of the art snowmaking. With these conditions, it's no wonder world-class athletes have grown up and trained in Vermont. Vermont is home to the first U.S. Olympic gold medal winner in Nordic skiing, Bill Koch, as well as Olympic medal winners Ross Powers, Hannah Kearney, Hannah Teter, Billy Kidd, Andrea Meade Lawrence and so many other successful Olympians.
The Vermont Ski Areas Association has resort information, trail stats, lodging info, conditions, plus deals and events for beginners to experts. Visit www.skivermont.com.
