THE first British runner to win an Olympic gold has finally been honoured with a memorial on his "lost" grave.
Charles Bennett won the 1500 metres in Paris in 1900, setting a new world record of 4min 6secs.
But his remarkable achievement went largely forgotten – until his grandson Chris found his overgrown grave in the corner of a churchyard.
Now Mr Bennett, who came from the village of Shapwick, Dorset, has been commemorated with a headstone that recognises his feat.
It was donated by stonemasons Anthony Ives Memorials, of Bournemouth, after staff there heard about Mr Bennett's modest grave.
His grandson Chris, 67, said: "It is a wonderful gesture and it looks out of this world.
"We're delighted that after all this time he has been remembered."

Oh dear...FREETEA...not again! =D
Ohhhh man, yep…this is about to happen…
It's so beautiful – you order 1 ounce of something and you get 2 ounces…how crazy is that?!
There are, however, slight limitations — some teas are just too heavenly (and expensive) for me to seal this deal on. The teas that are not included in the double everything sale are listed here:
The Sleeping Bear Blend
Yunnan Dian Hong
Organic Tulsi
…that's not so bad, huh?
Well, cool! Yes, this is basically 50% off all teas except the 3 listed above. Yes, this is basically the deal that should make you rethink not buying tea because you can never have too much tea. Yes, I'm playing the devil on your shoulder. No, you shouldn't listen to that angel on your other shoulder…where did not taking a chance ever get anyone? ;)
Tea tea teaaaaa, double tea for everyone!
Sale ends this this Friday, 1 minute before midnight (EST)…or somewhere around then. I won't take the deal away from you if you order at 6am Saturday morning :)
And I'm looking to make new blends and get new teas in, what does everyone want to see at Whispering Pines?!
Cheers and happiness, love and life,
Highly recommend checking out Breath of Life in the maté section :)
guess i need to yell at my friend to pay me AGAIN
That'd be a good idea! :)
Urrrgh, all my money goes to the tea.
Tea is life!
I ordered a few samples and some white tea. Looking forward to trying these!!
Great choices! Enjoy!~
That's so tempting! Too bad the timing is terrible for me!
I love yours sales pitch though. :P You get points for that.
Points are good! :) When the timing is right, let me know and maybe I can do something for you!
Bummer. I double checked the post to see if there was a code needed but now I'm thinking "FREETEA" wasn't just a typo. Do I need to email you, Brenden to clarify my order from today to qualify for this offer? I spent so much time between your shop and Steepster reviews that I may have missed the code.
Nope, if you've made an order, you will receive double – no code needed :)
ChaMei – I was worried about the same thing. Good to know there wasn't a code needed.
Happy a code isn't needed! Just placed my first order, have been meaning to for ages and this sale totally made me give in :D very excited about it though!
Took the plunge and made my first order yesterday.
Too good to pass up! I look forward to receiving this order:)!
Hey everyone,
There was recently a very large amount of orders lost by the postal service (more than 50 shipments), and I have been reblending and resending all of the orders that were lost, yours included. I truly apologize for the inconvenience and long wait time — orders usually ship from me in less than 2 business days, so this is a very important matter to me and my customers. I appreciate all who checked in with me, and I am VERY sorry about the wait. All orders went out again yesterday afternoon, and should arrive early next week. I'm giving a free ounce of tea to all who were affected by this loss. The next time you order, after checkout in the survey, enter the Promo Code "LOSTPACKAGE – (name of tea)". The only teas this does not apply to is The Sleeping Bear Blend and Yunnan Dian Hong. Once again, I'm very sorry. Have a lovely day!

Do you think I'm wrong?
Mothers day isnt for the kids, its for the mom! So its up to you what you do, if anything. But you probably deserve breakfast in bed at least : )
Love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life.
Get to know me better at http://www.wifenmom.com/
I sleep late, take a very long shower, get ready and head to my mom's and me and bro take her out for lunch around 3(it is too busy before then). I get breakfast in bed from DH and DD. Just a day to relax.
I'm just curious, who is saying that you should be celebrating it that you are even concerned about it? If you are the only one worrying about it then just don't! Or is someone else saying you should be? Sorry, I hope that doesn't sound rude (it's really not meant to) I just didn't understand why you would worry about it if you don't want to?
Just let it go, if you don't feel like it good for you.
Your child is too young to realize it anyway.
Just have a day relaxing and being a family. You could do something simple like the babies foot prints and hand prints with ink and show them to later. Because your right, the baby won't remember, but no matter what you always will.
You shouldn't need to do anything for yourself on mothers day!
Sounds like me!
I have a 5 month old and I know this sounds reallllly weird but I don't feel like a mom.
I don't work either, and although I am not suffering from PPD I do feel things have been chaotic lately and I would perfer it to just be another day.
I decided to invite my mom over during the morning and we're going to cook some breakfast. I can not afford to go out to eat right now , so I thought that might be nice.

This beautiful vase by artist Jessica Marie Lertvilai features Braille translations of love letters for a sleek yet romantic piece.
This simple concept subtly puts forth the message that love is blind. The love letters are those penned by friends, family, and strangers.
Implications - Consumers love products that let them communicate and share their feelings while also serving a functional purpose, and products like this do just that. More companies should be willing to incorporate sentimental value into their designs, because it is definitely an innovation that is widely accepted by all kinds of people.

High squeal that has a bassy thud at the end. These sounds are actually an XM with a changed file extension to .wav, and then loaded into a wav editor which converted it to a readable format. I then removed the unbelievable noise to see what I ended up with. After that, I cut out the parts that sort of sounded cool and these are some of the ones I am willing to let everyone have.

Deftly blending pitch-black humor and intimate storytelling, Oscar®-nominated director Stacy Title's The Last Supper is a dark comedy of good food, fine wine and potent points of view. Jude (Cameron Diaz), Paulie (Annabeth Gish) and Pete (Ron Eldard) are liberal graduate students who want to save the world from the hypothetical horrors of tomorrow. They hold a lively series of weekly dinner parties, with carefully chosen, politically controversial dinner guests (Jason Alexander, Bill Paxton, Mark Harmon, Ron Perlman). Regardless of the conversation, the repast is always delightful, delectable and deadly-with tomatoes picked fresh from the shockingly fertile backyard. This wickedly delicious satire puts a sharp and stylish spin on what's right and left-and right and wrong-in contemporary American politics.

CNC'd hanger for Guru Premio and Sidero bikes. Our customer broke his stock hanger, and we couldn't find a replacement anywhere in the world. So we made a CAD drawing, contacted an engineering and fabrication firm and Voila!
The hanger is hard anodized and tapped for the (included) mounting screws. Good stuff, for sure.

Billboard brings job-hunt success for Rosemount resident
The $300 Bennett Olson spent to rent space on an electric billboard might have been the best money he ever spent.
The billboard, which Olson took out last month in an attempt to find work, generated local and national media attention and, ultimately, a new job for the Rosemount resident. On May 2, exactly three weeks after the billboard went up, Olson started work as a sales and marketing associate at Bloomington-based Laser Design & GKS Services. He said the job was a direct result of the billboard and all of the attention it generated.
The whole process moved quickly. Olson got an email from the company's vice president, they spoke on the phone and he went in for an interview. He said the company liked his initiative and his entrepreneurial spirit.
Olson, who said he hoped to find a position that allowed him to use social media like Facebook and Twitter to promote a company, spends his time problem-solving with engineers and providing marketing in the form of social media campaigns, video and internet initiatives. He said he liked the company because they are established but still young. He expects to have the chance to learn and grow.
The contact from Laser Design was one of a handful of promising leads Olson got as a result of the billboard. He also got a lot of messages of support and emails directing him to potential job opportunities.
It was a little overwhelming at times. Olson struggled to keep up with the wave of email that hit his inbox every day.
"It's been a big learning experience and very interesting to have all the communication with people and all the attention," Olson said. "A lot of people merely sent me a message just to encourage me."
The communications became more frequent as Olson's story got wider exposure. In addition to the Town Pages, the billboard got attention from both Twin Cities daily newspapers, several local television stations and cable news network CNN. Olson said when the story hit CNN activity picked up a lot. He's had nearly 3,000 hits on his webpage since the billboard went up.

Hi - bascially what the title of this thread says.
I really want the BBCi player but my shopping channel does not load (my other channels all load fine, news, weather, etc) I have checked my internet connect and accepted all agreements, double checked my region - everything should be ok.
I did search the net and found some articles that suggested downloading DOP-Mii which I did. I ran it though my HBC and saw that my Shopping Channel was v.16 - I updated it and it now shows as v.20. However when I went to access it again - still the black screen - annoying!
I'm not 100% what to do next as I'm pretty much a noob at this - took me a while to get the HBC!!!
I running 4.1e if that helps.

Here now is the recap of Sandy Alderson's conversation with Mike Francesa on WFAN on Thursday (which is best viewed after the fact through twitter):
Sandy Alderson: "How do I feel about the bullpen? Well, let's say 'uneasy.' "
— Adam Rubin (@AdamRubinESPN) January 18, 2013
"We're still confronted with 2013, and I'm not happy with the preparation for 2013." Sandy said #Mets
— Michael Baron (@michaelgbaron) January 17, 2013
Duda in LF, Kirk/Cowgill in CF, "Uh… um… a couple people" in RF, says Sandy #mets
— Andrew Vazzano (@TheRopolitans) January 17, 2013
Take a look at the last one. Now the optimist in me (and I keep that optimist in a cage and feed it only bread and toothpaste) wants to believe that this sounds like somebody who wants us to believe that the Mets still have a shot at Justin Upton. The cynic in me, meanwhile, believes that Alderson really forgot that he acquired Andrew Brown earlier this month. But there might be something else in play here:
It's a worst-case scenario for most employees: There's someone in China who can do your job quickly, efficiently and for about one-fifth of your salary, and your boss absolutely loves his work. But one U.S. software developer turned this nightmare on its head and actually benefited from outsourcing, a report says. That's because, unbeknownst to his bosses, he hired a Chinese developer to do his job, allowing him to take home impeccable performance reviews while actually spending the day watching cat videos and shopping on EBay.
Why the hell didn't I figure this out before? The Mets are going to outsource right field so that Andrew Brown can watch cat videos on youtube! All this while some guy from an eastern hemisphere company will come in, hit .340, and nobody will notice because … well hell, the media has shown that they can't figure out that a fake dead girlfriend doesn't really exist. It'll take at least until August to figure out that Mike Baxter is platooning with some guy making $50,000, who will get impeccable performance reviews from every mid-season report card column and blog in the land!
Why stop there? Maybe Lucas Duda will outsource his job to Hologram Lucas Duda so that the real Duda can open his furniture moving business. Hologram Duda surely must have more range than his flesh and blood counterpart, and you can pay him in voltage. The hole in that theory is that if Duda was smart enough to think of it on his own, he probably would have had Hologram Duda move his furniture for him. Besides, the company that does these things is the same company that had the naming rights to the spring training stadium in Port St. Lucie … and they went bankrupt. So there goes that theory.
As for the uneasy bullpen? The Mets have been outsourcing those jobs for years. Unfortunately, they've been outsourcing to a country known as Kazsuckistan. (This country almost medaled in the biathlon at the Olympics but they kept shooting each other in the foot.) Aaron Heilman, Guillermo Mota, Casey Fossum, Manny Acosta … that's right. All natives of Kazsuckistan. You would think D.J. Carrasco is on that list, but Deadspin reported earlier today that he doesn't actually exist.
So in short, we have a couple of guys in right field, a bullpen we've seen every year since 2007, and the preparation for 2013 involved watching cat videos on youtube. Get your tickets now.

Eleven kinds of patties at Burgerim
Beef, turkey, lamb, chicken, dry aged, salmon, veggie, Spanish beef (chorizo), wagyu beef, and merguez
Ed Bedford 4 p.m., Nov. 22
Arcade Fire's aptitude for grand motifs accentuates the melancholy of suburban life on their latest. While The Funeral found Win Butler's band carrying the weight of the world, followed by Neon Bible's introspective attempt to reconcile it, The Suburbs mirrors a disparaging reality of sprawling strip malls, inevitable change, mundane contentment, loss, and despair. "All my old friends, they don't know me now..." mourns a forlorn Butler on "Suburban War."
Although stormy skies loom in the distance for much the album, the collection showcases a cautiously optimistic Arcade Fire at their moody best. While you won't find the fervent surges of "Wake Up" or "Power Out," there's still much scenery on the 63-minute ride to absorb.
Highlights include the punkish "Month of May" and the pleasing synth-pop of "Sprawl II," on which Butler's wife Régine Chassagne ethereally exclaims, "Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains, and there's no end in sight."
Arcade Fire's strengths remain attuned to the seven members' restraint, allowing the music to breathe and take root before blossoming into grander ideas that recur throughout the album. There's a cyclical comfort to The Suburbs, like returning to your childhood bedroom, a bit older and, hopefully, a bit wiser.

Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland and his administration come up with some surprises in de-annexation recommendations to the city task force on the issue. The three most recently annexed areas of Memphis were considered likely to be in the recommendations. Although the indication last year was that this would take a lot of discussion before someone actually wrote that on a Power Point presentation at City Hall. Not only did Strickland do that – he also included four other areas.

Memphis City Council member Lee Harris is challenging Democratic state Sen. Ophelia Ford in the August primary for District 29, the Senate seat held by a member of the Ford family since 1975.
When most people walk into a neighborhood Italian restaurant, the last thing they expect to see in front of the stove is a lawyer clad in a three-piece suit, but at Lavoro's it's not an uncommon sight.
Ora Lee Mitchell, a familiar face to anyone who used the Shelby County Law Library, died Saturday from cancer. She was 75.
The Shelby County Drug Court has something to be excited about: 100 participants have received their GED, or high school diploma equivalency certificate, thanks to an aspect of the Drug Court's program instated by Judge Tim Dwyer for nonviolent drug offenders.
Ora Lee Mitchell remembers when the Shelby County Courthouse was the seat of all local government – city and county.
"The City Commission had its offices out those doors and on the second floor," she said, pointing to two wooden doors at the other end of the Law Library where she works. "The county school board was right out here. They had it all in that little corner."
It will be 10 years this October since the first judicial commissioners were appointed to better screen suspects arrested and taken to the Shelby County jail. The commissioner positions were created to help ease jail overcrowding by releasing those awaiting trial who aren't violent and are not a risk to flee while awaiting court appearances.
Local fans of the HBO television series "The Wire" probably would say the cop show's depiction of Baltimore bears a startling resemblance to Memphis.
Some Memphis judges, lawyers and social workers exploring the idea of a family court are looking to Baltimore as a possible example of how to create a court system that offers a more unified approach to family problems.
Since Shelby County's drug court was created in 1997, Judge Tim Dwyer has presided over it.
The court monitors non-violent offenders who have committed crimes as a result of drug addiction. They're put in a one-year treatment program instead of being sent to jail.
Judge Tim J. Dwyer of the criminal division of Shelby County General Sessions Court received the annual Lifesaver Award from the Governor's Highway Safety Office. The award recognizes individuals and organizations that have made notable contributions toward highway safety in Tennessee.

Time Schedule:
Martha Groom
Bothell Campus
Exploration of the science underlying methods of species and ecosystem conservation. Emphasis is placed on understanding the limits and promise of scientific approaches to conservation, within the social, political and economic context of conservation problems.
Class description
One of the greatest societal challenges is the loss of biological diversity and the degradation of nature's benefits due to human activities at local to global scales. This course will introduce some of the literature, controversies, and promising methodologies used in Conservation Biology, an interdisciplinary field that strives to counter the trends of biodiversity loss. This course explores ecological, evolutionary, and social concepts and approaches to understanding and solving conservation problems. As in all fields of science, objective standards and sound research design are essential for progress, thus a major emphasis will be on developing "standards of evidence" in evaluating each issue. Further, as an applied interdisciplinary science, the ability to work with both social and ecological approaches to problem solving is essential to success. Therefore we also emphasize developing an appreciation for and capacity to apply a diversity of techniques to problem-solving.
Student learning goals
To introduce you to the principal concepts & methodologies of Conservation Biology
To enrich your understanding of the scientific contributions necessary for solving conservation problems
To foster your understanding of the process of science in general, and as applied in conservation contexts
To further develop your powers of analysis and communication, thereby improving your abilities to contribute to creating solutions
General method of instruction
Class meetings will consist of discussion on particular issues and readings interspersed with short lectures. Readings are drawn from a variety of resources, and will be made available at the course website.
Recommended preparation
It is helpful to have had a course in Ecology prior to taking this class.
Class assignments and grading
Assignments will range from short exercises, participation in discussions in many class sessions, small group work on case studies in conservation practice, and completing an independent research project. There will also be the option to participate in community-based conservation projects.
Grades are based on quality of work, as well as the timely completion of the assignments and will be composed of the following parts: Class exercises (100 pts), In class and online Discussions (50 pts) and Conservation Case Study (150 pts). The quality of your work will be judged by many criteria, including the soundness of your arguments, the depth and aptness of your survey of the literature or exploration of the readings, your insightfulness, the clarity of your expression, and your organization.

People opposing a military coup in Thailand are flashing a familiar three-finger salute seen in "The Hunger Games" during gatherings to silently voice their displeasure over last month's take over, resulting in a strict curfew, media censorship and ban of public political demonstrations.
According to media reports, the same gesture the fictional people of Panem use to protest President Snow's oppressive government in the Lionsgate blockbusters began popping up around the Asian country over the weekend.
See photos: 'Hunger Games: Mockingjay' Invades Cannes
And Thailand's new military rulers have taken notice, and might start making arrests if the movement takes off.
"At this point we are monitoring the movement," Col. Weerachon Sukhondhapatipak, a spokesman for the junta, told The Associated Press. "If it is an obvious form of resistance, then we have to control it so it doesn't cause any disorder in the country."

"If it persists, then we will have to make an arrest," he added.
The military seized power from elected government officials on May 22 without any bloodshed.
In the box office hits adapted from author Suzanne Collins' best-selling novels, the symbol of rebellion against totalitarian rule stands for "Thank you, Admiration and Goodbye to someone you love."

Thai protestors have told the media their use stands for the French Revolution's trinity of values — liberty, equality and fraternity — while others say it means freedom, election and democracy.
The silent protest has been caught on camera during flash mobs and gatherings in the country since Sunday, and is also catching fire on social media.

Comment #21 Monday, October 25, 2010 3:47 AM
I loved the original, this is a great update that fixes a lot of the problems. As some have mentioned, the black on black is still a problem sometimes. The gray text can be hard to read. I wish WB would let me tweak font color. Also, I miss the corners and vertical sides.
All that said, this skin is straight baller! If the above problems were fixed, this would be the only skin I used.

I downloaded your original Darkside WB and it is beautiful, but I would still love to use the second version if it worked on XP. Great job!!! Thanks!!!
Comment #27 Saturday, February 26, 2011 2:00 PM
love this skin...only gripe is the Minimize/Expand/Close buttons on top are a little hard to see untill your cursor touches it then you get the blue light which is nice, but wish that there were different colors to indicate which button you are on. I have to move from left to right or vice versa to find out which button I am on. Or maybe have the buttons stand out a little bit more. the tiny little break in the shite line is hard to see.

Being a Rockefeller, Becoming Myself: A Memoir
Being a Rockefeller, Becoming Myself: A Memoir
"Not everyone can say her grandfather was an early financial supporter of biomedicine, fostered the emerging field of public health, or restored Versailles." Eileen Rockefeller knew from her earliest childhood that she had been born into an exceptional --- and very, very rich --- family. Grappling with that reality --- the sour and the sweet --- has been her challenge, as she reveals in this gentle, literate memoir.
Eileen remembers that, as a schoolchild, people who knew her family name would ask baldly, "How much money do you have?" which she equates to asking an obese person how much he weighs. There is a pain and embarrassment for being considered interesting for the single reason of how much wealth your forebears amassed. For that reason, and others more complex, the author changed her surname to McGrath for a span of years, living quietly as a professional weaver and teacher, proud that she earned her own living and went unrecognized as a "famous" Rockefeller.
"Eileen Rockefeller knew from her earliest childhood that she had been born into an exceptional -- and very, very rich --- family. Grappling with that reality --- the sour and the sweet --- has been her challenge, as she reveals in this gentle, literate memoir."
When she crept back into the family spotlight, she was rewarded with a relationship with Norman Cousins, noted liberal journalist and author who advocated for peace and lauded her poetry. As a Rockefeller once more, Eileen has devoted much of her adult life to philanthropy, seeking out small-scale projects as well as large ones, perpetuating the family dedication to using its fortune to do good works well.
The book will surprise and engage anyone who has ever wondered how the so-called "1%" live. The family, though wealthy beyond belief, often acted out a sort of American dream of homesteading, camping and self-sufficiency, as in the summers they spent together on Buckle Island in a simple cabin, gardening and enjoying outdoor life. Sadly, the children in Eileen's family suffered acutely from the mental illness of their mother and the dictates of their powerful yet largely absent father, tormenting them with the paradoxical mandate not to assume they were better than others just because they were Rockefellers, yet always to achieve the highest that they could. Cousins characterized this succinctly to Eileen when he passed this note to her during a conference: "Your dad's 'be the best' and your mother's 'don't push' are not really opposed to what you believe about yourself." Eileen was often stymied by the emotional scars she and her siblings retained, wounded by their upbringing and seeking different ways to cope.
Over the years, Eileen has found inroads into forgiveness of some of the more hurtful aspects of her childhood, and has sought to bring peace to her family on a personal level, just as she seeks to bring peace and progress to the big wide world through the organization she founded, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. Perhaps she is inspired by such small examples as her father gifting a full college scholarship to a black school friend, who visited with them once on Buckle Island, or her grandmother, who in the 1920s and '30s made it a point to visit the homes of poor, newly arrived immigrants and celebrate their cultural artifacts. "Grandmother's spirit gave me the first ray of hope."

Imagine a world where it's illegal to ask consumers direct questions – where the bulk of market research as we know it is no longer an option. What on earth would researchers do? What other information sources might clients turn to? Would there even be a "research industry" anymore?

Board picks 3 finalists for superintendent
The Janesville School Board on Saturday chose three finalists. They are Robert F. Jones, superintendent of a school district in Michigan; the current interim superintendent, Karen Schulte; and Barbara Williams Thompson, the superintendent of the New Glarus School District.
The school board and two committees will interview the three finalists next Saturday. Then, the board will deliberate and might make its choice the same day, said Steve Salerno, district personnel director, who has been coordinating the process.
The interview committees are a group of district employees and a group of community members.
The board will receive input from the committees before it makes its decision, Salerno said.
The community interview committee comprises Eric Beck, Jane Blain-Gilbertson, Todd Brien, Lisa Furseth, Rich Gruber, the Rev. Michael Jackson, Diane Jacobson, Steve Kennedy Heather Lecrey and Oakleigh Ryan.
The district committee comprises Donna Behn, Jim Dulin, Joe Dye, Tom Imhoff, Mike Kuehne, Dave Parr, Salerno, Kori Settersten, Cindy Squire and Donna Stenner.
The school board met in a closed meeting Saturday to review resumes of six candidates recommended by a search firm. District officials would not reveal the names of the other semifinalists.
The superintendent is expected to take over July 1. If Schulte is not the pick, then it is possible the new superintendent could come in earlier to learn the ropes from Schulte, Salerno said.
A visit to the hometown of the chosen superintendent will be arranged, Salerno said.
Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates of Glenview, Ill., which conducted the search and selected the six semifinalists, advised the board to make only one site visit.
The site visit should confirm what the board already knows through resume, references and interviews, said Gerald Chapman of HYA.
�The purpose is to confirm what the board has learned about the candidate by visiting people with whom they�ve worked,� Chapman said.
The final agreement to hire the superintendent is contingent on a successful site visit, as well as a background check and mutually agreed-to contract details, Chapman said.
If the site visit raises a red flag, the board still could back out, Chapman said. But the candidates know in advance how the process works, so they are motivated to represent themselves honestly, he added.
Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates will negotiate the new superintendent�s contract, with direction from the school board, Salerno said.
Here are some details of the careers of the three candidates for Janesville public schools superintendent, from their resumes:

I got married on Saturday and my reception was at Kozlaks. I'm going to rave here-so be prepared. First, the Kozlak-Satt family is extraordinarily accommodating. We received the best service from the moment we decided to choose the place. I chose the restaurant because I wanted great service, good food and affordability. Since my fiance and I at the time, were going to be paying for the wedding ourselves, and since we refused to use any credit cards or take out any loans, we wanted a reasonable place that wouldn't sacrifice quality. I received.
We had almost 200 guests. We had people chose between supreme chicken, beef medallions with bernaise sauce or walleye amandine. I was not charged anything additional other than the price of the meal - (most wedding venues will charge extra money for the lowest price entree) - and inclusive of the meal price is their famed carrot cake with amaretto cream cheese frosting and caramel sauce. It is not buffet - it is plated service. Each was served with a caesar salad full of croutons, black pepper and parmesan cheese.
I received more than 25 compliments from individuals who came to the reception (other than close friends and families) about the food. The food arrived plenty hot, with a baked potato and very crisp haricot verts - but the compliment I received most often was about the beef - the fact that it was piping hot and that it was prepared med-to-medium rare. I do not eat beef but my beef-eaters told me that a bit bloody is the true way it should be prepared.
Yes, I realize that I didn't have a reception at Vincents, 112 or Restaurant Alma -our top notch restaurants - but truth be told? For 200 people, 3 full entrees, platters of cheese and crackers, fresh fruit, mini-reubens, a keg of beer, 18 bottles each of red and white wine, bottles of wine on each table for our families, and at our own table, plus the carrot cake - and included for the food/beverage minimum - of pop, coffee, tea, water, the mirrors, the decorations and for having the set up there - my final bill was $7711.60 including surcharge and gratuity, tax and liquor tax. Personally, in this day and age, I think that is relatively inexpensive, heck, even "cheap"....and none of it looked that way. More importantly, as foodies - it was service and outstanding food. You're right-prepping a baked potato, etc. is not a difficult thing-but the true taste of the food - is what came through and I am pleased to say that Kozlaks had my guests talking - and complimenting and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Beyond that, they're personable and give you all the extra attention you deserve without adding on to the price tag.
Of course I had my reception there, so the likelihood that I would give it a bad review is slim to none - but for the money, you can't get a bigger bang for the buck without comprising quality.
