A Journey That Wasn't Trailer (2006)
31 December 2006 Factual 23 mins
An expedition leaves Ushuaia for the Antarctic circle. Pierre Huyghe, along with six other artists, is brought aboard Jean-Louis Etienne's boat in search of an uncharted island inhabited by a strange creature. Imprisoned by ice floats, they come across an albino penguin that they capture with their recording station. Six months later, on the Wollman Ice Rink in New York's Central Park -- another sea of ice -- Joshua Cody conducts his orchestral score inspired by the expedition's topographical records.

Pelfrey one of four Mets to file for arbitration
Pitchers Mike Pelfrey, Manny Acosta and Ramon Ramirez, and outfielder Andres Torres, could be headed to the arbitration table in the coming weeks, if they cannot strike a contract agreement with the Mets.
Pelfrey went 7-13 with a 4.74 ERA in 34 appearances (33 starts) last season. He made $3.925 million in 2011. Acosta went 4-1 with a 3.45 ERA in 44 appearances. Ramirez went 3-3 with a 2.62 ERA in 66 appearances last season with the San Francisco Giants. He made $1.65 million.
Torres hit .221 with 24 doubles, one triple, four home runs, 19 RBIs, 19 stolen bases and a .643 on-base-plus-slugging percentage last season with the San Francisco Giants. He made $2.2 million.
The Mets acquired Ramirez and Torres in a trade with the Giants for Angel Pagan.

She can want it but she's almost certain to be told to get fucked. Negotiating an EU exit is difficult enough without bringing further complications into the mix.
I don't think Westminster will allow it for Autumn 2018, or for Spring 2019 come to think of it.
Not sure why Sturgeon even wants it for this time, potentially because she knows this will be her last chance to deliver it. Also, no way will Scotland be able to take the UK's membership of the EU - she is truly deluded if she thinks that's even remotely possible.
We've seen Britain recklessly vote to ruin their future, let's see Scotland take it a step further!
Getting on the Wembley band wagon looking for tickets..What did she wear?
She's a proper snake lol. Let's sechdule smack bang in the middle of Brexit negotiations. I'm guessing she's on the clock though. God forbid Scotland leaves on someone else's watch.
Disunited Kingdom :wilshere:
Politically, she faces the toughest situation since WWII. Not sure how she will balance the two, my guess is she won't allow a referendum until at least 2019, once we have left the EU. It may actually make sense for her to wait until 2020 or 2021 until the UK and Scottish parliamentary elections.
She's a Tory Prime Minister. This is an open goal for boosting her ratings in England.
The ironic thing here is Scotland are doing this to stay away from a hard brexit. When in actual fact they will be the country most greatly affected by a hard brexit once they leave. Something like 80% of their trade and business done with rUK? By leaving, Scotlands future is now single handely going to be decided between Brussels and Westminster who potentially have less to lose than Scotland who will be standing watching.
Supposedly doing this to get away from Tory rule they will at the mercy of May to deliver THEM a good Brexit.
I heard a political analyst use the phrase 'hard independence' today. As they could be faced with being out of two unions (albeit they will seek to rejoin the EU) for a certain period of time.
And there was me thinking the soft/hard analogies lived and died with Brexit
Wow that's an excellent point.
Supposedly Spain might want to veto Scotland because of their issues with Catalonia/Basque Country.
The other problem the SNP have is that many independence voters voted BREXIT and many remainers voted for the EU.
Would that not mean the remainers that also voted no to indipendance are more likely to vote yes in a second referendum because that would be the only way to possibly remain in the EU?
In theory but Scotland would have to re-apply to enter the EU and if they got vetoed would suffer a hard BREXIT alongside a hard Independence
It's all theoretical though as May won't grant a second referendum
Right I didn't want to say anything because it's stuff that i've said unpteen times before, but @Kaner
EU:Scotland's entry to the EU is pretty much guaranteed if they go independent. There will be no veto from Spain.
Spain's issue is countries that UNILATERALLY declare independence, without the backing of their parent nations e.g. Kosovo from Serbia. They would would have no problem in accepting an independent scotland recognised by the UK.
Also, since Scotland meets all EU criteria already (as they are a member right now with the resk of the UK) their entry could he fast tracked.
There is massive goodwill in the EU for Scotland, especially now that the SNP have distanced themselves from Catalonian seperatists etc to get Spain more onside and of course the attitude of the UK re Brexit.
Imma bookmark this post fo I can just quote it again in the future, i'll no doubt have to do one on the GERS report too.
Also I suppose we shall see what May does. If the Scottish Parliament votes for it to happen, she will have to have massive balls to reject it but i'm not sure what will happen. In any case, the Yes side will then hopefully enjoy another couple points bounce in support.
Nice post @Electrifying. Very nicely put. I will however just mention some things in response.
Firstly, you're dead right on the distinction made between a unilateral declaration of indepedence (i.e. Kosovo and potentially Catalonia) and a bi/multilateral declaration that Scotland would be expected to represent, unless of course they go ahead with a referendum without the backing of Westminster.
There is also a large degree of goodwill towards Scotland within the EU, namely Germany. Mostly because they seem to 'get' the EU project, and because they are being taken out of the EUdespite voting largely for remain. There isn't as much antagonism towards Scotland from Spain as is commonly reported online and in the media. Yes, Spain no doubt prefers the UK to remain together, but I don't see why they would not support and have relations with an independent Scotland. Most of the langauge coming from Madrid is not anti-Scotland joining the EU, just a worry about the precedent that it would set.
However, in regards to the Spanish position on Scotland joining the EU. It's clear that Spain will force the issue that Scotland leaves when the UK does, regardless of any possible transitional deal. There's also a question as to where Scotland will be placed in relation to joinging the EU. I think that Spain would not rush any accession into the EU, and recently I've read that Spain will favour Scotland joining the 'back of the queue'.
So whilst Spain would view Scotland differently to Catalonia (despite the boost it would give to seccessionists), I would not expect Spain to favour any fast-tracking for Scotland, which would result in Scotland spending a fair amount of time outside of the UK and of the EU (perhaps EFTA membership could compensate this?).
Also, I think May will probably block an independence bid until after 2019. No way would she continue to block it once the UK has left the EU.
Edit: Only about 10 minutes after writing this post I noticed this on the Guardian:
A pretty good post on the position of the Spanish Government towards Scotland, and why it may be best that they put their indepedence bid on hold until Brexit. Giles Tremlett is a prettygood author and journalist, and I believe he's lived in Madrid for a while now.
But is Spain in any position to resist pressure from Germany and possibly France regarding Scotland?
I don't think the pressure would be monumental, it's not an issue that would divide the EU. Besides, France tend to side with the Spanish position in regards to this.

On Children's Day GIIS Ahmedabad pledges to build connections for a lifetime...
Children are like warm sunny rays in the winters, like pearls in the bed of the oceans…
Two things polls apart, probably, even farther and abstract; are nonetheless significant, momentous, priceless and salutary. We cannot do without the golden rays of the Sun which sprinkle life in all living beings, nor can we do without the priceless pearls which lay undiscovered in the sea until they glitter as ornaments.
Children are the Sunny rays in our lives and the pearls that embellish our future. On Children's Day we, at Global Indian International School Ahmedabad, celebrated the little laughter, joy, pranks, curiosity, innocence, love and of course 'childhood'. We believe in connections with our children and thrive to mould them in every aspect, and along the way, we build relations for the lifetime with them.
This Children's Day, not limiting the celebrations to fun activities, GIIS Ahmedabad planned to pledge to focus on each child individually and work for a better mutual relationship. But, how could we leave out those fun moments spent with teachers on the Children's Day. So, the day started with a magic show by a city-based magician, who enthralled the children watching the magic tricks in awe! The magician continued his tricks and drollery till the children enjoyed to the fullest. This was then followed by a joyful camel cart ride, decorated with colourful balloons, around the school campus for all the grades.
Also, a special assembly was held the following day which spoke on recognising the talent every child has and lending an attentive ear to them when they need us. The skit was played by students of class 3 which emphasised on building connections with our children, be it in school or at home.
GIIS Ahmedabad pledges to make every day a Happy Children's Day by building connections with our students so that they emerge in young well-groomed ladies and gentlemen of tomorrow!

Eagles are large, powerfully built birds of prey, with a heavy head and beak. Even the smallest eagles, like the booted eagle (which is comparable in size to a common buzzard or red-tailed hawk), have relatively longer and more evenly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight – despite the reduced size of aerodynamic feathers. Most eagles are larger than any other raptors apart from some vultures.
The elk or wapiti (Cervus canadensis) is one of the largest species within the Cervidae or deer family in the world, and one of the largest land mammals in North America and eastern Asia. This animal should not be confused with the larger moose (Alces alces), to which the name "elk" applies in the British Isles and Eurasia.
Rabbits are small mammals found in several parts of the world. There are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European rabbit and cottontail rabbits. Rabbit habitats include meadows, woods, forests, grasslands, deserts and wetlands.
Leopards show a great diversity in coat color and rosettes patterns. In general, the coat color varies from pale yellow to deep gold or tawny, and is patterned with black rosettes. The head, lower limbs and belly are spotted with solid black. Coat color and patterning are broadly associated with habitat type.
Geckos' toes seem to be "double jointed", but this is a misnomer. Their toes actually bend in the opposite direction from human fingers and toes. This allows them to overcome the van der Waals force by peeling their toes off surfaces from the tips inward. In essence, this peeling action alters the angle of incidence between millions of individual setae and the surface, reducing the Van der Waals force.
Zebras are several species of African equids (horse family) united by their distinctive black and white stripes. Their stripes come in different patterns, unique to each individual. They are generally social animals that live in small harems to large herds. Unlike their closest relatives, horses and asses, zebras have never been truly domesticated. edit
edit edit edit
Rhinoceros, often abbreviated as rhino, is a group of five extant species of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae. Two of these species are native to Africa and three to Southern Asia!
The American bison (Bison bison), also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of bison that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. They became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle, and have made a recent resurgence largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves.

Earnhardt's Lost Luggage
By: Dustin Long - @dustinlong on June 13, 2014 | 10:49 A.M. EST
Dale Earnhardt Jr. said he accidently left Ryan Newman behind after the take-off time for Earnhardt's plane was moved up. (Photo: Getty Images)
Blame it on being Friday the 13th or blame it on it the fact that Dale Earnhardt Jr. couldn't wait to get back to a track after winning last weekend at Pocono Raceway.
Either way, Earnhardt flew Friday morning to Michigan without something.
He left Ryan Newman behind.
Newman's wife, Krissie, later stated on Twitter that Newman was getting a ride on Dale Jarrett's plane.
Earnhardt said he got a text from Newman after he arrived in Michigan. Earnhardt said Newman stated he should have texted Earnhardt.
So how did this happen?
"On Tuesday, (Newman) asked me if he could take a ride to the racetrack, which is common for drivers to do,'' Earnhardt said. "We were leaving at 8:30 (a.m.). That's what it said on my calendar. Since Tuesday, we've added some media ... so my PR guy Mike Hoag moved take-off time to 8 o'clock.
"I didn't know about it. I didn't look at my calendar. When I got up this morning, I didn't look at the clock. I just got in the shower and went downstairs and got in the car, drove to the airport and got in the plane, and I forgot about Ryan.
"Even if we were taking off at 8:30 and he wasn't there, I probably would have left him. He should have texted me last night. I think he got a ride. That was unfortunate, for sure. It happens.''
Newman said he sought a ride with Earnhardt because Newman's wife and children were going to fly up on Saturday in his plane and it made sense to hitch a ride instead of shuttling the plane back and forth.
Newman said when he arrived at the airport Friday morning he saw Earnhardt's truck but the plane was gone. Newman than drove across the airport and saw Jarrett's plane and "bummed a ride.
"It's probably the closest I've been to not making practice,'' Newman said.
Newman, who arrived in time for practice, called the episode "just an honest mistake.''

NSA virus (or NSA Internet Surveillance Program virus) is a ransomware program that was designed by cyber criminals in order to rip off random computer users. It's a malware that blocks access to all programs of infected computers, accuses users of violating the United States law and demands paying a fine for that.
NSA virus infiltrates into computers with a help of Trojan viruses. Once inside, it locks all programs and displays a message in the middle of the screen claiming that your system has been blocked because of law violations and you have to take responsibility for that and pay a fine as soon as possible. The message by NSA virus looks like this:
NSA Internet Surveillance Program
Computer Crime Prosecution Section
Your Computer has been locked!
Your computer has been locked due to suspicions of illegal content downloading and distribution.
Your case can be classified as occasional/unmotivated, according to 17 (U.S Code)
Thus it may be closed without prosecution.
Your computer will be unblocked automatically.
In order to resolve the situation in an above-mentioned way you should pay a fine of $300 (MoneyPak)
As you see, it looks like it is sent by the U.S. police. Despite its scary appearance, it has nothing to do with any law institution as it was designed by cyber criminals. It's a scam that was developed only for financial benefits. You should never believe what NSA virus message claims as you will only lose your money.
Pay attention that it tells you to pay a fine using MoneyPak payment system which allow you to make quick transfers using pre-paid cards. It is completely impossible that police would use this method to collect fines. Do not trust this message and remove NSA virus immediately after getting your system blocked.
If your system has been locked, remove NSA virus as soon as you detect it on your computer. It is a tricky virus so removal of it can be a little bit complicated. If your computer has more than one user account and not all of them are locked, scan whole PC with anti-malware programs, e.g. spyhunter, by logging to the account that is not blocked. Another option is to use system restore. If none of these methods worked for you, do the following:
- Restart your computer;
- Press F8 while it is still restarting;
- Choose between safe modes in following order: Safe mode, Safe mode with command prompt
Then follow the guides below:
If your computer runs in Safe mode or Safe mode with networking
- Launch MSConfig.
- Disable startup items rundll32 turning on any application from Application Data;. Note, that these are typical locations for NSA virus but some others might be used.
- Restart the system once again.
- Scan with https://www.2-viruses.com/downloads/spyhunter-i.exe to identify NSA virus files and delete it.
Here is a video showing how to complete the steps:
If your computer runs in Safe mode with command prompt
- Run Regedit.
- Search for WinLogon Entries. Write down all files it references that are not explorer.exe or blank. Replace them with explorer.exe
- Search registry for NSA virus files and delete the registry keys referencing the files
- Try to reboot and scan with Reimage, SpyHunter.
- If this fails, try doing system restore from safe mode with command prompt (rstrui.exe)
If none of safe modes could be launched
Some versions of NSA virus disable all safe modes, but give a short gap that you can use to run anti-malware programs:
- Reboot normally.
- Start->Run.
- Enter: http://2-viruses.com/downloads/spyhunter-i.exe . If malware is loaded, just press alt+tab once and keep entering the string blindly. Press Enter.
- Press Alt+tab and then R couple times. NSA virus process should be killed.
Here is a video detailing this approach:
Hitman Pro USB disk
If you did not succeed using any of the methods above, try scanning PC with a bootable USB or DVD disk. These should be able to remove all versions of NSA virus, but will not work if your hard drive is encrypted.
For that, we recommend using Hitman Pro Kickstarter USB.
- Download Hitman Pro on uninfected PC.
- Run Hitman and ask to create Kickstarter USB (option on initial screen)
- When USB ready, reboot infected PC with USB attached and press DEL
- Choose USB as primary boot device.
- Boot normally.
- Run Hitman Pro and https://www.2-viruses.com/downloads/spyhunter-i.exe . One of these programs should detect and remove malware from your PC.
Automatic NSA virus removal tools
Manual removal
Important Note: Although it is possible to manually remove NSA virus, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend using Reimage or other tools found on 2-viruses.com.

The future buses produced by Mercedes-Benz will be eco-friendly beginning with the introduction of the new Citaro FuelCELL Hybrid model, the carmaker's first ever fuel-cell hybrid bus. Another step toward a zero-emission mobility and enhanced resource conservation framework of "Shaping Future Transportation" global initiative of Daimler is the regular-service city bus.
This Citaro FuelCELL Hybrid is not something to be enjoyed in the future -- it is already here! This is the reason why Mercedes-Benz buses will be extensively monitoring its performance in regular operations within the boundaries of a major fleet test in a number of cities in Europe.
The test will be similar to the successful CUTE fleet test done by the EU between 2003 and 2006. There are a total of 36 MB Citaro buses equipped with fuel cell drives since 2003 and these have performed superbly around 12 public transport agencies on three continents as part of the CUTE test, its follow-up project the HyFLEET:CUTE and other related testing series.
Overall, the buses traveled a total of two million kilometers in an estimated 135,000 hours. Having been available between 90-95 percent of the time demonstrated excellently the suitability of the eco-friendly fuel-cell drive for daily urban deployment.
From the experience gained from the 36 fuel cell test buses comes the new Mercedes-Benz Citaro FuelCELL Hybrid. But since CUTE focused on the fuel cell drive's suitability, the Citaro's diesel unit was substituted with a fuel cell drive in order to guarantee the highest possible range of stability for the public transport.
There were no necessary compromises done on the Citaro FuelCELL Hybrid because its drive system technology is a totally new development that employs chief features of the Citaro G BlueTec Hybrid. Included in the shared components are axles equipped with electric hub motors, lithium-ion batteries for energy storage, and ancillary components which are all electrically powered. The Citaro FuelCELL Hybrid sits on the proven platform of the high sales performing MB Citaro city bus.
The fuel cells of the new model are powered by hydrogen, but the Citaro FuelCELL Hybrid will consume much lower hydrogen volume in contrast to preceding fuel cell buses. This is mainly due to its intricate drive system control unit. Thus the Citaro FuelCELL provides great advantages in terms of conservation of resources and the cutting of harmful gas emissions connected with hydrogen production.

An award winning Greek restaurant on Broadway near Granville.
The food is excellent but don't come here if you're in a hurry... it will take forever for your food to arrive and plus the computers/ cash/ whatever is "out of service" so they're doing everything by hand. Hope this gets fixed soon! I don't understand why it hasn't been fixed, something like this should take priority. [Oh, also – don't come in late (like past 9pm) or you'll be in for another surprise.]
The waiter we had the last time was verrrry nice, he is always smiling and personable. I've been here a few times and my favourites are still the kleftiko (spelling????), the spanakopita (spinach pie…), quail, and Saganaki cheese. The greek salad is light and tasty, not too strong. The wine selection is decent although I drank beer. The pita bread is whole wheat and fluffy. It sort of tastes like cardboard, I kind of wish they didn't use whole wheat. I know it's healthier and all, but… the quail is my favourite dish. The kalamari is pretty good too, it's a lot less greasy than most Greek restauarants I've been to. Actually everything here is light and tasty, not much grease. It's a very health-conscious Greek restaurant to say the least. The rice pilaf is yummy, it's got little pieces of lettuce in it or something, very nice touch.
This is a very romantic place to bring a date. The candle light provides for some pretty good ambience, although not as good as their previous location (which had to be torn down to make room for the Canada Line at Cambie). I've also come here for business lunches. A lot of city hall folk come here on their lunch breaks, myself included. The food is very consistent and the portions are quite large. We could not finish what we had and all we had was two entrees.
Four of us ate here and we all enjoyed the meal. Appetizer calamari and saganaki were very good. The half-order of calamari was quite big! The fried cheese was perhaps a little too salty but I suppose that's not the cook's fault and I'm sure there's always going to be variation in that. Entrees were all very good and large enough for leftovers. I'm not a huge fan of greek meatballs (too light and airy), but the flavours of all dishes were spot on. The only negative is the bread served with the meal is some whole-wheat pita which was dry and bland. Will return, though.
Great kletika. The greek salad is the best I've had in the city, served un-tossed and layed out in the bowl in a pretty pattern.
This was our first time dining here, and we were impressed.
The servers are friendly and efficient, although the food was a little slow. My partner ordered first the roasted lamb shank, but was told that they had just sold the last order. They were also out of the quail. He eventually settled on the lamb souvlaki, which was nicely cooked. To our surprise, our waitress managed to find a small piece of lamb shank and included it on the plate. It was excellent; very tender and flavourful.
The kalamari was cooked well and not chewy or rubbery. The cold garlic potatoes were excellent -- tons of garlic!
We'll definitely return, and hopefully they will have more of the lamb shank or quail.
Dined at this restaurant for the 1st time since they moved down the block . the restaurant really lacks ambiance as it is very sterile especially for a Greek taverna that usually has lots of plants and atmosphere . the hostess and the servers were the most serious non smiling serving crew we have ever encountered and they looked like they hated the jobs and the people they were serving . the food was descent but really lacked true greek flavours which is a shame as we remember this place much more fondly . Hopefully the owner can buy his staff some happy pills and the hostess and servers start to appreciate the customers who really pay the bills .
We are so happy to see Kalamata open again and closer to home too! This is one of our favourites. Need some Greek comfort food? You found the right place. You will know the minute you walk in that it's real food here, made family style with lots of care. PS - Save room for the bougatsa, it's the best in town!
Owner sold the biz to a few korean entrepreneurs who are turning it into a sushi joint, but he did say he was looking for another smaller venue in the same vacinity to reopen, so not to worry - you'll get your roast lamb fix soon enough, yum' ; )
My partner and I decided to try the Kalamata restaurant the other night, and we are so glad we did. We were met at the door and asked where we would like to sit. The restaurant was half full, but we still got our choice of a table towards the back where it was quiet, cozy.
Soon our server came, and we ordered a calamari starter, the lamb dinner and the moussaka dinner.The calamari was perfect, crispy on the outside, and tender inside. No rubbery calamari here !
The lamb was fall off the bone tender, juicy with lots of flavour. The potatoes had a hint of lemon and oregano, delicious. The rice was different, with carrots and small bits of peppers and spinach in it.. unusual and very tasty.
The moussaka was also very good with a hint of cinnamon to it, a spiced meat filling, and a creamy bechamel sauce that was baked to perfection.
We had bougatsa for dessert, a filo pastry with a custard filling. The filo, with a dusting of cinnamon and powdered sugar, was light, flaky, and the custard was creamy, sweet and lemony; a delicious ending to a great meal.
The portions were large, and we were certainly full by the time we left !
Chris, our server, was there when we needed to ask a question, yet never hovering, making you feel like you should rush. I would think he has been there for awhile as he was very knowledgeable about all the Greek dishes we asked about. He was friendly and professional.
Sometimes you have a meal that is more than "just" delicious food. The way it was cooked tells you that there is real care, love and attention to quality going on. Our dinner at Kalamata was one of those meals; there is something special going on here.
Highly recommended.
Our friends recommended this restaurant and decided to try it. We started with houmus and the artichoke
appetizer with the melted saganaki on top. The houmus was exceptional, smooth, lots of garlic and the right amount of citrus, the whole wheat pita came piping hot. The baked artichokes were really yummy!
We love lamb so we ordered the roast lamb and the lamb chops. They were both the best we've ever had.
The roast lamb was huge and falling off the bone, my wife kept raving about the lamb chops. The rice was was different that we were accustomed with, not just plain but with carrots, little pieces of yellow peppers and fresh spinach, quite a nice touch. The greek potatoes were nice and lemony.
Our server was friendly and attentive without being overbearing.
Our only complaint was that the portions were so big that we had no room for dessert.
Arrived @ 7.15.....very busy Saturday. Seated and had drink and food order taken by 7.30. At about 7.45, server came and said the kitchen was busy and it would be 30 minutes before our meal came up. No problem!! At 8.30, the greek salad in a finger bowel arrived!!! Shortly after our appetizer showed up. 9 pm and we still have no main course. We cancelled the meal at this point. The owner/manager came to talk to us....didn't introduce himself, didn't apologize for the delay and told us not to come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After a lackluster take-out experience here a few years ago, I never went back--until recently. With the snow preventing us from going farther afield, we decided to give it a shot again. Besides, as the Rapid Transit Line construction continues to decimate the neighbourhood and send many businesses packing, Kalamata has managed to hang on. There must be a reason.
Service was slow that night because of a large Christmas party combined with understaffing. Oh well. Our waitress was great. At least we kept getting our drinks and water, if not our food.
The calamari appetizer was great--fresh and not too greasy. My spouse had the lamb and commented that it was "the best lamb he has ever had in his life". In reality, likely it was the best lamb he has had in recent memory. I had the spanakopita, and it was also delicious. Everything on my vegetarian platter (potatoes, greek salad, etc.) tasted the way you would want it to taste. Of course, it wasn't fine dining, but it was significantly better than your average Greek food.
1 appetizer + 2 drinks + 2 entrees + taxes = $50. I also had enough food to bring half of my meal home for lunch the next day.
Went there for dinner a few weekends ago and also very recently. The greek salad in the beginning and the pita bread are great and generous but the entrees came out terribly slow. Looking around it happened to all the tables. Last time I thought it was just that night but when it happened again last night, it probably happens to them all the time. They really need to get another cook inside the kitchen. I saw only one guy working in there and he was going non stop. Besides the slow coming entrees, everything else was great.
I chose this restaurant based on the reviews, as I wanted a good greek place for my birthday dinner. We arrived early, around 6pm, and there were only 3 other tables in the place. We still stood at the door for about 5 minutes before the waiter (who was miserable) acknowledged us, even though he knew we were there. After he seated us we waited at least ten minutes for a server to arrive, and she didn't even ask us if we wanted a drink, just if we were ready to order! I was just about ready to leave, but we did order, and also ordered a half litre of wine, which took another ten minutes to arrive. The food was fantastic, I had the spanokopita dinner and my husband had the lamb, no complaints at all about the food. Also the Kalamari appie was delicious!
The terrible service continued when were were trying to get the waitresses attention to pay our bill. (We had tickets to a play, so were on a time limit). She seemed to go out of her way to ignore us all evening. We even contemplated just getting up and walking away, as we were getting tired of saying "excuse me" and getting no response.
Overall, the food was great, service totally lousy, and I thought the ambience was lousy as well. Maybe after dark it's better, but it is old and in need of freshening up in that place. And the fact that it's old doesn't work to make it quaint, just dirty feeling.
For the last 20 years, I have adored and enjoyed the lovingly prepared Greek food at Kalamata Greek Taverna. Even when I worked as a flight attendant and tried Greek Restaurants the world over, the authentic Greek cooking at Kalamata was and still is, bar none, the real deal.
Having grown up with a Mama born and raised in Greece, I know delicious, fresh, satisfying, Greek 'Kouzina' (Cuisine). Kalamata Greek Taverna is that, and more.
I will happily drive for 40 minutes to bring the whole family for our monthly culinary indulgence. Kalamata is a multigenerational delight approved by grandma (yiayia), grandpa (papou), our 4 year old, and 17 month toddler.
The ambience at Kalamata is romantic, inviting, warm, lively and celebratory. A mix of Greek soft romantic ballads envelope you as if beckoning you to get up and dance.
We all relish the various appetizers that always brings ecstacy to every one of our senses.
The 'Saganaki' (Greek fried cheese) sizzles; the 'Kalamari' (fried squid) crunches; the 'Garithes Skortho' (garlic prawns) is a visual delight; the 'Sikotakia' (chicken livers) have deliciously smooth velvety centers; and, the "Tiropita" (cheese pie) and Spanakopita (spinach and cheese pie) are freshly baked crisp savoury greek delicacies.
Everytime I order my lamb or beef souvlaki I know it will take at least 15 to 20 minutes to grill it to perfection. That is because it is cooked fresh and made to order: absolutely worth the wait!
Kalamata serves up full plates of food that is welcome news to my husband and I, as the leftovers make the best work lunches, ever!
My toddler and preschooler always express their approval with "mmm, yummm" between mouthfuls of food, all the while swaying to the smooth Greek music playing in the background. My children will literally devour anything presented to them here. The 'Taramosalata' (fish roe spread) packed with omega goodies, is double ordered to keep the peace between our children.
Spoiled is how I feel knowing of a reliable and trustworthy establishment that we all enjoy and love. Honestly, on the occasion that I have wanted to dine on a Monday when Kalamata is closed, I have been so disenchanted with the quality of other Greek restaurants that I would rather go without than be perpetually disappointed.
In my experience, the servers at Kalamata have always been friendly, amiable, efficient and pleasant without being overbearing. Chris, a familiar presence at Kalamata for the last 5 years, consistently graces us with excellent service. In fact, he is sorely missed by my four year old on the rare occasion that we come in on his night off.
From the spectacular food, familiar service, warm welcoming environment, and most importantly phenomenal Greek culinary genius of Stathi and Laura, Kalamata is an outstanding authentic Greek establishment.
Don't take my word for it. Experience it for yourself.
This greek culinary love affair will keep you coming back for more. OPA!
I have been going to Kalamata's for many years, and every visit has been just as spectacular as my first! The food is to die for, everything on the menu (and I've tried it all) is mouth watering! In fact, I could go for some kalamari right now and I was just there yesterday. I have been there when it has been very busy, and yes, I've had to wait for my food, but so what? I'm out for a meal, I can sip my wine enjoy the ambience and nibble on some pita, if it's a wait, sit back enjoy it will be worth it. Kalamata's does not claim to be a fast food restaurant two people are doing all the cooking, so folks you're better off to make a reservation. The servers have always been polite and have always taken awesome care of us during each of our visits.
I could write a book about the "awesomeness"of Kalamata's, but i will finish with this.... This is the place you should be lining up for! I have tried all of the other Greek places none of them come close. My sister flies in from California and if she's only in for a day, she has to go to Kalamata's because she cannot get greek food like this anywhere else! Authentic, healthy, supreme, great value, great food and great people!
I live in Mount Pleasant and have ordered from this company for 10 years, but I have been increasingly bothered by the rudeness of the man who answers the phone and takes the telephone orders. In the past I have been told that they are too busy to take phone orders. Tonight we ordered and told them that the dinner must be dairy free. We picked it up and on getting it home discovered that there was a sauce on the order that contained dairy. When I called to say that they made a mistake on the order he tried to say the mistake was our fault. He refused to rectify it and said he was busy and had to go. I will never order from this restaurant again.
This was our third visit at Kalamata ,but never on a weekend. Almost full when we entered and felt good that we are in a right place.
I always go for the roast lamb and my hubby got the the lamb chops which was kind of made in rush and did not taste as good as always,may be because they were very busy and run out of better one.
As our sweet server told us(had pepper earrings!!!) they were really busy and will try to get the food as soon as possible. She was very promt with drinks and was attentive which gives me reason to give more stars on the service than food.
For sure we will return but only on weekdays as always.
The Kalamata has moved down the street in the past year or so, and are now in the 300 block of West Broadway. Regardless, the food and service was as good as I experienced in previous visits which were spaced well apart.
My wife and I decided to try the Kalamata again before the Lions game last night, and we were happy we did. We got in the restaurant just after opening at 5 pm and were the second couple there. It gradually filled up with dinners until there were 40 or more people in the restaurant. Regardless of that, the service was timely, non-intrusive and friendly.
The wine list isn't extensive, but they had a nice white wine for less than $20.00 a bottle, a rarity these days. Both our dishes were great, I had the lamb shoulder which was steaming hot, not loaded with a lot of fat, and very tender and well herbed. My wife had the scallop and shrimp souvlaki, and we were both surprised at both the size of the seafood, and the quantity. The accompanying rice, lemon potatoes and greek salad were freshly made and full of flavour.
The calamari appetizer was tender and perfectly done. We are not big dessert fans, but we tried the bougatsa, a phyllo pastry filled with lemon custard and dusted with icing surgar and cinnamon. It was freshly baked, and there was more than enough to share.
All in all, we found the food and service as good this time as every other time we've been there.
Greek food is a family favorite and we've been to a number of Greek Restaurant in the Metro-Vancouver Area. This one stood out as the worst of our Greek dining experiences.
There is a number of great greek restaurant and this is simply not one of them!!!
The Calamari is PROCESSED, which is an immediate sign of poor quality ingredients.
The greek salad earned them points with a generous portion of feta and very good tasting tomatoes.
The potatoes seemed like they were cooked first thing in the morning and kept warm throughout the day.
The roast lamb was tastless and left a bad taste in my mouth that only a can of coke could take away.
Don't waste your money here!!!
I'm not sure how they could have been out of lamb. This is a greek restaurant, how can you not have lamb. Maybe they only make limited quantities during the lunch hours. I had a chicken souvlaki, the food was ok. I've had better. The souvlaki was a little overcooked and salty. Service was slow and nothing special. I don't think I'll be returning because I value my lunch hours and don't want to spend it waiting for food.

Reiki and Energy Healing
Reiki, pronounced Ray-Kee, is a simple yet profound method of healing which brings balance and unity to the body, mind, and spirit. This Japanese word corresponds to the Chi of Chinese philosophy. The two symbols, Rei and Ki combined, refer to the Universal Life Force Energy; the combination of physical and spiritual life force. Reiki is not a religion nor a belief system. Reiki is an ancient science that works for anyone who desires to receive and accept the energy. Reiki is healing energy that is transmitted through the hands of a clear channel (practitioner). The channel giving the energy is simply a conduit as the energy is actually drawn by the receiver. Each person draws exactly the right amount of life force that he or she needs to release, activate, or transform the energy of the physical and etheric bodies. Reiki not only can effect change in the chemical structure of the body, by helping to regenerate organs and rebuild tissue and bone, but it also helps to balance and align the mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.
*Relaxes and releases stress
*Accelerates healing
*Heals dis-ease at the causal level
*Increases energy and creativity
*Clears and balances the chakras
*Strengthens intuition
*Removes emotional blocks
*Uncovers and releases old patterns of self-limitation
*Promotes Inner Peace and one-ness with spirit
Typically, a Reiki/Energy healing session lasts about one hour, however, half-hour sessions are generally effective for balancing the chakras (energy centers located throughout the body), and for maintaining overall wellness. Please view our Services link for more detailed information.
During a session, the recipient takes off his/her shoes and lies down upon a massage table or sits in a chair. The Reiki practitioner then sits or stands to the side of the receiver and places his hands in the appropriate treatment positions. Most people feel Reiki as warmth or heat energy. Others may feel a tingling, electric sensation, or a "pulling" or "drawing out" sensation. And still others may feel nothing at all. If they feel nothing, this does not mean that they are not receiving Reiki, only that their particular sensitivity level may not be quite as intense. Our energy changes everyday, often moment by moment. One session may even feel differently than another. The important thing to remember is that Reiki is guided by the Divine. So, regardless of whether you feel anything substantial or not, you are always receiving the perfect amount of healing energy for you.

The $425 million price on the buy-out at BP's nutrition business made this the biggest UK buy-out since Gardner Merchant. But other statistics also made this deal huge: the business sold to the buy-out vehicle (now renamed Nutreco) included over 150 legal entities, in 19 jurisdictions, operating from over 250 main sites, and with a turnover of over $2 billion.
BP instructed Baker & McKenzie's London office to handle this sale, the sixth and last in the series which began with BP's announcement of its withdrawal from the nutrition sector in 1992.
Along with BP's own in-house resources, the team included over 20 lawyers in the London office and lawyers in 20 overseas offices and firms.
At the pre-bid stage a number of potential buyers were interested, including trade and financial buyers. This made it difficult to plan the sale process in detail since we were aware that a successful financial buyer would probably require more detailed financial information at the legal entity level than would a trade buyer. In the event, the handshake at the end of March confirming the CINVen/Barings-led consortium as the preferred bidder, marked the beginning of a major due diligence and structuring exercise.
The buyer wanted to consummate the transaction through transfers of the local operating groups to its new holding companies, so that interest payments on the acquisition debt matched operating cashflows. Equally, BP did not want to disturb its own structure (with the vast majority of the companies grouped under a group of Dutch holding companies).
The compromise was an unusually complicated mechanism under which the Dutch holding companies sold their shareholdings in local operating companies, followed by a sale of the shares of the holding companies.
Controversially, the deal was deemed to meet the size thresholds for EC merger regulations. Developing the reasoning first applied in the Tarkett acquisition, the Commission took into account the turnovers of British Coal and Barings as part of the buyer's control group, even though Nutreco's direct shareholders are venture funds which are simply advised by CINVen and Barings. The Commission is expected to come under pressure to rationalise its approach in cases like this.
The deal finally closed on 30 September, following two days of transfers, notarisations and movements between New York bank accounts, orchestrated by the four UK firms involved (Allen & Overy for the senior and mezzanine lenders, Ashursts for the buyer on debt, Dickson Minto for the buyer on equity and the acquisition, and Baker & McKenzie), and Dutch firms Stibbe Simont (for BP) and TrenitC van Doorne (acting for the buyers).
Christopher Bown is a corporate partner with Baker & McKenzie.

Blunt Force Trauma, the pulverizing new album from Cavalera Conspiracy, an abrupt, hyper-charged and possessed slab of metal featuring some of the fiercest riffage and percussive bombardment of the Brazilian born Cavalera brothers' storied career, it's a sophomore-slump defying declaration that the Cavalera Conspiracy was no mere one-off, fluke or temporary side-project, An invigorating mixture of the speed and aggression of Slayer, the urgency and willpower of seminal hardcore like Minor Threat and the heaviness and musical prowess of Cavalera Conspiracy's Inflikted debut, Blunt Force Trauma is eleven tracks of intense, powerful and jarringly immediate metal with punk attitude and venomous spirit.

Gaming is one of the most popular pastimes for males and females. Right up there with games and hobbies such as football, music, cinema, shopping and crafting, games have encapsulated a variety of audiences – male and female, young and old – across an increasing number of platforms.
Throughout the 1990s and early 21st century, gamers would spend most of their free time sitting in their bedrooms or – if they were lucky – their games rooms playing on consoles such as the PlayStation or Xbox, and in more recent times the Wii against their friends or playing the computer. Now, thanks to the developments in online gaming brought about through increased knowledge of the web, gamers can now go online for their Twosday Tuesday bingo fix, or they can play against people all over the world on the most popular role playing games.
The Internet is full of new and exciting games for people to play, allowing you to compete with and against people from across the globe. You're no longer confined to playing in your room with the friends that have come over to play, you can now link up using headsets and live chat features 24/7, a real bonus for gamers who have busy lives.
Some games are free to play which are great for those looking to expand their gaming horizons, establishing whether or not web gaming is for them; while there are also tons of games that you can sign up or subscribe to play which are better for those who have been sold on online gaming and want to play all of the latest releases at every opportunity.
The free games are often the easiest to play and would require little or no specialist equipment, just access to a computer, the Internet, a mouse and a keyboard. As the games become more advanced, the technology required becomes more complex and you may find that you have to upgrade your system or invest in a whole new one dedicated to playing games.
Role playing games are among the most popular, where gamers take on the position of key characters and almost 'become' that person. In multi-player formats, gamers can take their specific characters around battlefields, deserted towns and complete a series of tasks and missions in order to finish the game, using live chat functions and microphones to talk to each other to help them through the difficult stages or to give them commands in order to complete the game unscathed.

Creating a strong and effective online presence can take a lot of work, focused effort and the right strategy. There's so much information, and even more misinformation, available online that many are turning to, only to discover after putting countless hours of time and work that the techniques they're using are ineffective, out-dated or just plain bad. Here are some of the most widely used marketing techniques around, that actually don't work as advertised.
1. Putting lots of money into advertising, rather than utilizing word of mouth
If you want to get noticed online, you need to advertise, right? After all, readers won't want to know unless they're coming to you from a well-placed, well created advert. In fact, that isn't the case at all. Think about the last post that really made a splash online. Chances are, it became popular because it was being shared around online on social media.
To market effectively, you need to make great content that responds to a want or need that your customers have. If you have engaging content that offers entertainment or solutions, it's more likely to be shared around by your readers. Getting those shares is worth more than paying for adverts, any day.
2. Posting frequently, rather than posting quality
Everyone's heard the advice when it comes to blogging or other content creation. 'Post frequently, as you'll always have fresh content and keep your readers coming back.'
This is true, up to a point. If you have fresh content that's of interest to your readers, they'll keep coming back. However, if you just keep posting for the sake of posting, the quality of what you're writing will suffer. If you keep churning out samey articles, nobody is going to come back to your site.
Instead, you or your writing service need to concentrate on creating quality, rather than quantity. You'll update less frequently, but when you do it will be a top tier post you're sharing with your readers.
3. Stuffing your content with keywords, rather than good information
When you start out, you're told that SEO is everything. If you want to get spotted online, you need to be using the right keywords. If you don't, you'll fall down the search engine listings and no one will be able to find you. This has lead to professional writers stuffing their copy full of keywords, hoping there's enough to push it up the rankings and get noticed.
The problem with this strategy is that once your article is clicked on, it'll be dismissed straight away by the reader. It'll come across as too spammy and not useful to them. If they don't like it, they won't act on it and they certainly won't share it. Instead, use keywords sparingly, keep the right word count and focus more on the quality of your writing.
4. Putting stock into banner ads and hoping for the clicks
Paying for advertising is expensive but worth it, right? If you've got banner ads, they'll show up at the top of the page and entice people into clicking them, surely. In fact, that really isn't the case. People are almost trained now to ignore the adverts on any page in favour of the content that's on that domain. No one wants to click adverts because they can't trust where they'll lead to.
Also, with the rise of adblocking extensions for most browsers, a lot of people won't even see your advert. Banner ads are considered garish and uninviting, so it's time to think of a more natural and interesting way to promote your content.
5. Not understanding how to use your social media
Yes, sharing your content on social media is a great idea. It makes it easier for readers to share it around if they like it. It's how a lot of viral content starts. However, many companies just jump straight into social media without doing their research. The result is they make posts that are jarring and aren't relevant to their readership.
Instead, you need to do your research before you start posting. People use Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat differently. Your company may not suit all social media sites. Are you better off posting pictures on Instagram, or sharing informative articles on Facebook? Do the research before you get posting. Remember, proofreading is important too. One typo and your mistake can be broadcast around the world.
6. Spamming your readers with emails
Back in the early days of the Internet, the 'pay and spray' approach was popular with email marketing. Marketers would send emails to everyone, with little to no thought about whether the recipient would want or even need their product. The thought was that emails were so easy to send, it was worth it if even a small percentage of people replied.
However, in this day and age you need to be more savvy. If someone receives enough unwanted emails from you, they're going to mark your communications as junk. Plus, no one's going to even open your emails unless the subject lime is actually relevant for them. You need to do more research on your market audience, and streamline your email lists. Only email those who will want your product, and you'll see a much better return. Remember your editing, as quality is what counts.
7. Not nurturing a relationship with prospective leads – just jumping right into selling
Marketing is a two way relationship. When you start talking with prospective leads, nothing can put them off faster than just jumping right into your sales pitch. They want you to show that you care about them as a whole, not just what they can buy from you.
Instead, hire yourself a writing service that can create content that builds that relationship up. Give them ideas and solutions for their everyday problems. Then, when the time is right, you can get into that sales pitch. You have to time it right though, or you'll lose them forever.
8. Spending money on AdWords, when it's shown people click on search results more
Paying for AdWords has got to be a good idea, right? After all, they're sponsored ads by Google. Your site will appear at the top of the search engine listings, so people are sure to click the link. There couldn't be an easier way to promote your company, right?
Thing is, Google makes it clear that that link is an advert. People's mistrust of ads will kick in and they won't click it, as they won't think it's relevant to what they're searching for. Instead, they want something that shows up near the top of the search engine listings when they plug their search term in.
In this case, the only way round it is to write relevant copy that will show up in search results. Think about what your customers may be searching for. You need to write around those topics, and be sure to include them on your site. Use the right keywords and good grammar, sparingly, and there'll be much more organic links showing up that will get the clicks you need.
These marketing strategies were popular in the past, but the internet is an ever changing place. By adjusting the way you use them, you can rise above the rest of the competition and find your audience.

COMMONS Leader Peter Hain yesterday defended the Prime Minister's controversial trip to visit Libyan leader Colonel Gadaffi.
He said Tony Blair's visit had been welcomed by families of the victims of the Lockerbie disaster and by the family of Pc Yvonne Fletcher, murdered in London 20 years ago outside the Libyan embassy.
He said the trip "symbolises the beginning of a new process of Libya coming into compliance with international standards".
"It's in the interests of Britain and the international community that countries like Libya, which in the past have been rogue states and sponsored terrorism... renounce terrorism, which Libya has, and they come into compliance with the international community, including on nuclear weapons.
"That's been an enormous benefit of the negotiation that the British government has been responsible for carrying out. I think this visit is very, very important for taking that forward."
Mr Blair's visit coincided with carefully choreographed announcements that British police investigating the 1984 shooting of Pc Fletcher will visit Libya next month, and that Anglo-Dutch oil giant Shell is signing a multi-million-pound deal with the north African state.
Britain is expected to develop closer military co-operation with Tripoli, with Libyan officers potentially coming to train at Sandhurst, while arms manufacturer BAE Systems is one of several UK companies thought likely to strike lucrative deals as Libya opens up to international investors.
The Prime Minister was offered the red carpet treatment on his arrival in Tripoli, where his chartered BA jet was met by a Revolutionary Guard of Honour.
Crowds lined the streets as his motorcade sped towards the tent used by Col Gadaffi to greet visiting dignitaries in farmland known simply as Al Macan - or "the place".
As the two leaders shook hands, with camels grazing nearby, Mr Blair said, "It's good to be here after so many months."
Col Gadaffi responded, "You look good. You are still young."
Seated on wooden armchairs backed by yellow and green wall coverings, the leaders held private discussions before lunching on fish and couscous.
In a solo press conference following the talks, Mr Blair said he had made clear to Col Gadaffi that nothing he now did could "alter the pain of past actions".
"In reaching out the hand of partnership today, we do not forget the past," he said.
"But we do try in the light of the genuine changes happening to move beyond them."
Mr Blair acknowledged that former US President Ronald Reagan and ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher would have found it "very difficult to believe" when they co-operated in air strikes on Tripoli in 1986 that a British premier would one day sit down with Gadaffi.
