Jones Group buys Kurt Geiger for £215m
Kurt Geiger, Europe's largest luxury shoe retailer and one of Britain's strongest footwear brands, has been bought by Jones Group for a price of $350m (£215m).
The news has surprised many shoe-loving shoppers, who were unaware of Jones Group's influence within the market. While its presence in the high street may be smaller than that of the more prominent and 'upscale' Kurt Geiger, Jones is in fact a huge force in the footwear market, having already purchased Nine West and Stuart Weitzman. The news follows hot on the heels German luxury-goods company Labelux's purchase of Jimmy Choo.
The move is expected to give Kurt Geiger a foothold in the US, where it has not yet penetrated the market to the extent is has in Europe. Jones Group have also indicated that the move should help them to diversify into the higher-end of the market.
Neil Clifford, the chief executive of Kurt Geiger, said: "America, in particular, is something we are very excited about in terms of opening stores in the major cities of the US in the next 12 to 18 months. I would be disappointed if it was not next year."
And while we're on the subject Kurt Geiger's sale is now on! Check it out here for some perilously tempting reductions.

Building the Business Case for Big Data: Learn to Walk Before You Run
In a recent webinar, Mark Smith, CEO at Ventana Research and David Lyle, vice president, Product Strategy at Informatica discussed: "Building the Business Case and Establishing the Fundamentals for Big Data Projects." Mark pointed out that the second biggest barrier that impedes improving big data initiatives is that the "business case is not strong enough." The first and third barriers respectively, were "lack of resources" and "no budget" which are also related to having a strong business case. In this context, Dave provided a simple formula from which to build the business case:
Return on Big Data = Value of Big Data / Cost of Big Data (more…)
Big Data: Changing How Business and IT Interact
Most of the big data discussions have been on the technology or the numerously re-played business discoveries used as examples of big data's power. Many companies are still in the experimental stages of big data, asking for guidance regarding what their benefits would be, how they can re-align themselves to take advantage, and what new processes might be helpful to make them successful with these powerful new capabilities. (more…)
Data Governance and Systemic Data Management Issues
We have been looking at how data management issues can be classified, and in my last post I provided five categories, but broken them down into two groups: Systemic and System. The systemic issues are ones in which process or management gaps allow data flaws to be introduced. A good example occurs when consumers of reports from the data warehouse insist that the data sets are incomplete, and the root cause is that the processes in which the data is initially collected or created do not comply with the downstream requirement for capturing the missing values. (more…)
Optimize Data Warehouses with Data Usage Monitoring and Data Warehouse Archiving
Data warehouses are applications– so why not manage them like one? In fact, data grows at a much faster rate in data warehouses, since they integrate date from multiple applications and cater to many different groups of users who need different types of analysis. Data warehouses also keep historical data for a long time, so data grows exponentially in these systems. The infrastructure costs in data warehouses also escalate quickly since analytical processing on large amounts of data requires big beefy boxes. Not to mention the software license and maintenance costs of such a large amount of data. Imagine how many backup media is required to backup tens to hundreds of terabytes of data warehouses on a regular basis. But do you really need to keep all that historical data in production?
One of the challenges of managing data growth in data warehouses is that it's hard to determine which data is actually used, which data is no longer being used, or even if the data was ever used at all. Unlike transactional systems where the application logic determines when records are no longer being transacted upon, the usage of analytical data in data warehouses has no definite business rules. Age or seasonality may determine data usage in data warehouses, but business users are usually loath to let go of the availability of all that data at their fingertips. The only clear cut way to prove that some data is no longer being used in data warehouses is to monitor its usage.
Reflecting On Data Quality In 2011
With just a few days remaining in what has been an eventful year, I thought I'd take some time to reflect on the world of data quality as I've observed it over the past twelve months. While the idea of data quality improvement in general didn't change much, the way that companies are viewing and approaching it most certainly have. Here are three areas that seemed to come up quite frequently:
Data governance awareness grew
In thinking about all the customer interactions that I was involved in throughout the year, it's hard to come up with one where the topic of data governance didn't surface. Whereas before, the topic of data governance only seemed to come up for companies with more mature data management organizations, now it seems everyone is looking to build a governance framework in conjunction with their data quality efforts. Furthermore, while previously the conversation was largely driven by IT, now it's both IT and business stakeholders that are looking for answers to how data governance can help them drive better business outcomes. In increasingly competitive market conditions, we can only expect this trend to continue. Whether it's focused on increasing revenue, driving out cost or managing risk and compliance, data quality with data governance is where companies of all sizes are turning to create and sustain a differentiated edge. Trends like big data will only make this need more acute. (more…)
Four Canonical Techniques That Really Work (Or Not)
Several years ago I had the fortunate opportunity to participate in a post-mortem study of a $100 million dollar project failure. No one likes to be associated with a project failure, but in this case it was fortunate since the size of the write-off was large enough that it forced the team to take a very hard look at root causes and not just do a cursory analysis. As a result we finally got to the heart of a challenge that has been plaguing data architects and designers for 20 years – how to effectively use canonical data models. (more…)
Building A Better Data Warehouse
The devil, as they say, is in the detail. Your organization might have invested years of effort and millions of dollars in an enterprise data warehouse, but unless the data in it is accurate and free of contradiction, it can lead to misinformed business decisions and wasted IT resources.
We're seeing an increasing number of organizations confront the issue of data quality in their data warehousing environments in efforts to sharpen business insights in a challenging economic climate. Many are turning to master data management (MDM) to address the devilish data details that can undermine the value of a data warehousing investment.
Consider this: Just 24 percent of data warehouses deliver "high value" to their organizations, according to a survey by The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI).[1] Twelve percent are low value and 64 percent are moderate value "but could deliver more," TDWI's report states. For many organizations, questionable data quality is the reason why data warehouses fall short of their potential. (more…)
Rethink Data Virtualization – Get All the Data You Need And Trust NOW!
Businesses have seen great success in using virtualization to gain greater efficiencies from their hardware and network resources. Now, the concept of virtualization has been extended to the data layer.
The bottom line is about providing a logical abstraction of all underlying data, so that it appears as one data source to consuming applications.
However, given that your data is often distributed, heterogeneous, and often error-ridden, it's not enough to simply federate it and pass this off as data virtualization. The data you deliver to your end users must be data they can trust, however, traditional data federation approaches seem to ignore this fact. They simply propagate inconsistent and inaccurate data, quickly. So where is the gap?
ILM For Data Warehouses
In December, 2005 Sun Microsystems conducted an interview with Bill Inmon, the father of the data warehouse concept. He said, "ILM keeps a data warehouse from costing huge amounts of money and maintains good performance consistently throughout the data warehouse environment." Four years later, the average size of a data warehouse has increased by 200%, surpassing the multi-terabyte size benchmark.
With these mammoth databases comes an increase in cost to manage them and a potential deterioration in performance. It is common practice to leverage techniques like indexing and database partitioning to address query performance issues with very large databases but those techniques do not address challenges associated with the raw volumes of data.

The commercial helicopter pilot, with one passenger aboard, was en route from Petersburg to Juneau, when he was requested to join a search for an overdue company helicopter (N6007S). He said that just after entering the search area, he received a radio transmission from another company helicopter (N6052C), who was also involved in the search. The pilot of N6052C informed him that he had crashed on the ice field, and required assistance. The pilot of N6099Y stated that poor weather conditions in the vicinity N6052C would not allow the him to land, so he elected to return to the airport for fuel, and wait for better weather conditions. After refueling, he returned to the accident site of N6052C, where weather conditions had improved. After landing, the uninjured pilot and passenger boarded N6099Y, and all aboard agreed to continue the search for N6007S. The pilot of N6099Y stated that he was able to locate the downed helicopter about two miles directly in front of his location. He said that he slowed the helicopter to about 30 knots in an attempt to gain reference using a mountain range on the left side of the helicopter, and the accident site of N6007S. He said: 'The ceiling at my location was at least 1,000 feet agl, and visibility towards 07S was more than six miles. Just before the impact, I was sure I was at least 500 feet agl.' The pilot added that 'flat light conditions' hampered his ability to see the topographical features of the ice field below. The helicopter struck the snow-covered ice field, slid about 50 feet, nosed over, and rolled to the left. The helicopter sustained substantial damage to the fuselage, tail boom, and rotor system. The accident helicopter was not equipped with a radar altimeter.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Congratulations to the Port Washington YC - they've have done it again! For seven years now, this club has hosted the Leukemia Cup Regatta, and this year was the best one ever. It was a day of mixed emotions, for this year's regatta was dedicated to Captain Norman Geller, who was a good friend to the local sailing community surrounding Manhasset Bay. Norm, after working for years to help raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in April of this year, and succumbed to the disease in August. He would have been proud of his club, for they raised $70,000, a 50 percent increase over last year, to help fight this dreaded disease and at the same time, everyone had a great time. Norm was the kind of person who found fun in everything he did, and if you happened to meet him while you were doing errands, or more likely, on the waterfront, he always had a great story to tell, something that kept you smiling for the rest of the day. Yes, it was a great time over at the Port Washington YC - just the kind of day that Norm would have loved.
It was a full day of activities at this year's Leukemia Cup. There were tennis matches in the morning, carnival games for the children, the heated pool was open all day, and "Charlie Magic" made an appearance in the late afternoon to the delight of the children. By the time sailors and spectators returned to shore, a delicious BBQ dinner was awaiting them, followed by the Awards Ceremony and live auction. Ed Wassmer, Commodore of the club, reflected on this year's event, "this is the seventh year, and every year we make the event bigger and bigger. This year it is a YRA event, there's lots of sponsorship. There's good wind, good food, and we're very proud as a club to support a charity - we don't mind putting in a lot to time for a good cause. And tomorrow we start all over again planning for next year."
An event this large takes a lot of people to make it a success. According to Bill Downey, Rear Commodore, "So many people helped. This club exists to help members have fun. We are raising money and having fun at the same time." The Co-chairs of the event were Jay Campbell and Dominick Capolarello, and together they assembled a great team of volunteers who made this year's event so very special. On Race Committee: Peter Christie (who was also on the Event Committee) and Dave DeBaun, Race Committee Co-chairs and PROs (Principal Race Officers) with Bill Geller and Jeff Robbins, Bill McIntosh, Gene Brooks, Susan DeBaun, Tom Steele and Tom Sullivan. Dan Hanley played a dual role as he was on the Marketing Committee plus the Event Committee. Linda Hickey was the club's photographer, and Betsy Alison, who donated her time and travel expenses, was crew on Robert Hodson's Kestrel, as they placed the highest bid to have this sailing "rock star" aboard.
Midshipmen from U.S. Merchant Marine Academy gave up a three-day holiday weekend to bring their 65-foot tug, Growler, to Manhasset Bay to accommodate spectators as they enjoyed an afternoon on the water watching PHRF and one design racing. Skipper Tormod Engvig shed some light on why the Midshipmen came to the Leukemia Cup, "I spoke to last year's crew on Growler and they had a great time, so I signed up and got the rest of the crew (Jason Lake, McClain Isom, Carl Erickson) to come along. It's good to get the name of the Academy out in the community, and we can work and play at the same time." Simon Billig, a volunteer with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was onboard Growler and thoroughly enjoyed meeting spectators and telling them about the society. He's been to about four fund-raising events so far this year. "I assist in any way I can. I'm really enjoying myself, it's a sunny day, the food is good."
Dominick Capolarello, who was responsible for getting sponsors this year, and his committee must have been a very busy for the past year, as this year's regatta had a tremendous amount of sponsors. The long dock leading to the club's launches was filled with sponsor banners - not a space was available for one more banner. This truly was a community affair, as evidenced by the many people who got their companies involved in such a worthy cause. The 2004 Leukemia Cup Regatta sponsors: Acordia, Acordia New York, Astoria Federal, Arista, Australian United States Services, Brooks Waterburn, Chubb Group Insurance, Cigna Group Insurance, City Underwriting, Davis Vision, First National Administrators, Foxbrook/CB Planning Corp, Geller Marzanno & Company, Graham & Company, Grassi & Company, Highmark Life, HNW, Horizon New Jersey, HSBC, Intercity Agency, HIP of New York, Keevily Spiro Whitelaw, KVA Communication, Lennox Advisors, LiDAC, Macys - Manhasset, MetLife, Mount Gay, Nassau Agency, Northeastern Technologies, OHAL Group, Oxford Health, Penn Mutual, Port Washington YC, Prime, SCS Agency, Standard Security, Sterling & Sterling, Total Dollar Management, TZELL Travel, United HealthCare, Unum/Provident, Vincent Toscano, WindCheck Magazine, Youngs Liquor, and Zurich-American.
Congratulations to Alexander Bidwell, on Flamingo Quest, who won the Leukemia Cup Award for raising the most money by a single boat ($5,371). Second and third place in this category go to Louis Potters on Star Watch, and Lauretta Abbott, Quee Queg. But everyone who came to Port Washington YC on Saturday, October 9th was a winner, whether or not they captured first place on the water, won the very prize they wanted in the Silent Auction, or were one of the lucky raffle winners. Saturday was an especially beautiful day on the water, with good winds and cool air. It was a time that friends and neighbors - our sailing community - got together to raise money for a terrific cause, and to remember one of our own. It was just a perfect day - and a great tribute to our friend Norm Geller.
The Leukemia Cup got its start at the Eastport YC in Annapolis, MD in June of 1993 when the club raised $30,000 for the Maryland Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Enthusiasm for the event has spread across the country after Gary Jobson, ESPN commentator, who serves as the national chairman of the Regatta, spoke at the Society's 1993 Annual Leadership Conference. In 2000, the sailing community raised more than $1.8 million at 41 Leukemia Cup Regattas, and more than 15,000 sailors participated that year. In 2003 the chapters of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society participated in over 65 regattas across the country. It is sad to note that an estimated 110,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma in 2005, and every ten minutes another child or adult dies from this disease. On the bright side, research that is funded by events like the one at the Port Washington YC has helped to triple the survival rate for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the past 38 years, and Hodgkins disease is now considered to be one of the most curable forms of cancer.

Long term care administrators come from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines and sometimes do not have formal management and financial training.
Even administrators with formal financial training often recognize a need for a better understanding of financial management areas in order enhance their career growth potential, and to deal with strategic financial difficulties they face.
With today's changing financial health care climate and increasing governmental involvement and oversight it is essential that an administrator seeking to enhance personal career growth and development potential must know how to make sure his or her facility is effective, efficient and financially solvent.

Think You Can Answer Google's Job Interview Questions?
Well, that, and a host of other really weird things (e.g., How many piano tuners are there in the world? How many golf balls can fit inside a school bus?). The interview does have its fair share of typically techie, super-complex questions -- the kinds of things you'd expect most Google geniuses to know -- but the oddball questions are by far the most fascinating. That being said, we're not so much intrigued by their impossible difficulty (Asking impossible questions can give you a feel for someone's thought process.) as we are by their tinges of quirky humor. We don't know this for certain, but we assume that the Google execs would probably approve of anyone who would appreciate the weird sense of humor underscoring these questions and would answer accordingly. Above all, the queries give some insight into that rare breed of brilliant yet zany person that Google is clearly seeking.
All that being said, these questions scare the bejeesus out of us. Good luck to anyone brave enough to sit through this assault. But remember kids, if worse comes to worse, you could always just slip in a homemade promotional video. Impossible, after all, is nothing. [From: Seattle Interview Coach, via The Awl]

Title: Bat Pinata
Date: Apr 20, 2012
This was such a cut pinata for a Monster High birthday! Unfortunately, my daughter (turning 7) took the first hit and the top just fell off! There is no other way to have the pinata hang so other kids could hit it, so my husband just dumped the candy out!

Title: great
Date: Nov 01, 2010
The bat was big enough to hold plenty of candy, and sturdy enough to withstand lots of kids getting a turn to hit it. Kids and adults thought it looked great.

Title: Holy Pinata Batman!!
Date: Jan 24, 2010
This is AWESOME. I am having a Batman Party for my 4 year old and there was just something off-putting about having the kids attack a Batman Pinata. Then I found this and it was a great price too! I can't wait to hang it up in the Batcave filled with goodies for their treat bags! Quick shipping and a last minute "loyal customer" credit made this my Best Shopping Experience with CE EVER!

November 26, 2014
SAGINAW, Mich. (AP) - A Michigan sheriff says he's trading his inmates' orange jumpsuits for black-and-white stripes, in part due to pop culture.
Saginaw County Sheriff William Federspiel tells The Saginaw News that all-orange jumpsuits are increasingly viewed as fashionable, especially because they're seen on popular TV shows such as the Netflix smash hit "Orange Is the New Black."
Federspiel says "some people think it's cool to look like an inmate of the Saginaw County Jail ... wearing all orange jumpsuits out at the mall or in public." He says inmates sometimes work in public, and he doesn't want there to be any confusion.
The jailhouse fashions come relatively cheap. The sheriff says the jumpsuits, which last for about two to three years, cost $11.73 apiece.

Del Posto Restaurant Week
I'm going at the end of the week; I've been reluctant about the place since it opened. It seemed a little too, i don't know, roccoco, with the piano Player, gilt, billion dollar legs of lamb on the table, and so on. But then the reviews of the food seemed to get better. Has anyone been already this week or have any idea what's on offer?
We dined there last week, it was a lovely experience. The space is beautiful and the piano is a nice romantic touch.
Our food was wonderful and we are looking forward to going back with friends next week.
i had venison that was cooked to perfection, my husband enjoyed his pork dish as well.
next on our agenda is the rack of lamb. It looked yummy.
The service was knowlegable and efficient.
I hope it won't disappoint the second time around.
I agree with you that the decor in that place is terrible. I felt like I was eating in a Casino.
The food is good, but it's actually my least favorite of the Batali restaurants in the city that I've been to. I'd go to Lupa over DP any day.
I would be also interested to know if anyone has been there for RW as I am going there this Friday. I'm not really concerned whether I will like the interiors and it's size (I too prefer the cozier places like Lupa) but, would definitely want to know if the food will not be dumbed down for resto week.
I haven't been to Del Posto for restaurant week but i have been there for dinner a couple of times. While i have eaten at all of Mario Batali's restaurants and absolutely love them, Del Posto is very inconsistent. The first time I ate there it was EXCELLENT, then the second time, not so good. We couldn't order half of the menu because apparently there was an "accident" in the kitchen. Of what we did order, it was just OKAY. The dessert is the best part though!
re: NiKoLe1625
hey nikole. so the original pastry chef Tai is not there anymore?
re: nyufoodie
i'm not positive on that one, but the desserts were excellent, especially the dessert cart!!
I really think that the desserts were the best part. Don't order dessert off the menu until they come around with the dessert cart! Its really the best part!!
This place rocks. I love the bar, with the Club Service. Our bartender (Rich?) was a real pro--Makes for a very classy restaurant. And, yes, the desserts are sublime.
I honestly don't know how they couldn't dumb it down, so I'm eager to hear a report, as well. When we were there last fall, a companion ordered a GLASS of white wine (she specified "any wine" the bartender recommended) that ended up costing as much as a restaurant week 3-course menu...
Please do report back.
Thanks for the Per Se tip, jasmurph
If you don't make it during restaurant week, the enoteca at Del Posto always has a $41 prix fixe. Menu & service are hit-or-miss. Decor reminded me of a mega-Vesuvio's (Artie's resto in the Sopranos). Full review here:
Here's my report on lunch today.
3 options per course. I comment on the items we had.
Chicory and Raddichio salad
Pasta Fagioli--very good. The kind of thing I wish my grandma made for me growing up instead of boiled cabbage and potatoes.
Salumi--3, yes *3*, slices of meat. A sad comparison to the Lupa salumi plate, not only in quantity but in variety. Do you really need to put prosciutto (1 of the 3 slices--can't remember the other two) on a plate by itself in a restaurant--aren't we all getting the same stuff at a decent deli? My wife was hoping for the fennel sausage they serve at Lupa.
Halibut with caponata--lovely piece of well cooked fish, nice caponata--not the greatest combo.
Garganelli Pasta with Bolognese Ragu--good bolognese, but the pasta was not as well cooked as that we've had at Babbo and Lupa.
Pork Loin Arista
Semifreddo--Best dish of the lunch. Blood oranges, meringue, other good bits. Odd presentation: it came in a simple glass (like a water glass) on a paper doilly. I kind of felt like Sandra Lee might have put it together, visually. She, of course, would have glue-gunned a picture of Italy or a plastic meatball to it.
Yogurt Cheesecake--cheesecake, icecream, pineapple. This was good (how couldn't it be with those ingredients), but i wouldn't be shocked to find the same dish at Applebee's.
Some kind of peanut/caramel/chocolate thing.
The room was just what I expected. Bellastraniera's comparison to Vesuvio's was dead-on; I felt like asking if Artie was in the kitchen.
Service: about as good as a Batali joint gets, which is to say nowhere near as good as it is at 4-star joints.
Summary: Okay. If I went to this place in Des Moines, I'd be pleased. But the restaurant so wants you to think it's the pinnacle of Italian and Batali cuisine, so the bar is set high by the place itself. I'll stick with Babbo, Lupa, and Otto.
re: jasmurph
I was also in Del Posto for lunch...I concur that the desserts are better than the food...I had the peanut,chocolate thing that actually reminds me of a dessert that Claudia Fleming used to served in GT and my friend had the sheepmilk yogurt cheesecake that came with coconut gelato and pineapple -plus foam. Only thing I can say with the food was that as mentioned above by jasmurph the meat plate was pathetic and that the pork loin was very salty. i'm going to just stick with lupa for batali italian.

- Awesome!!RebeccaWCDined on 7/18/2014We had a great time - food was wonderful and the service amazing. There were three of us, my son and my friend. My friend had not been there before and had questions about the food preparation - the server was extremely knowledgeable and answered all her questions. We wanted to share a salad, and they served it on two separate plates - no questions asked. The entrees were a little slow, but it's because everything is made from scratch. Besides, we were having such a good time, we hardly noticed. Also, my son had sprained his ankle and was on crutches. They were so accommodating and helpful. They even stored his crutches & brought them to him when we were done.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 7/11/2014It was good but we had to waited 45 minutes for our food.

The manager made a special effort to give us a wonderful table and always great service. The bottle of champagne was a nice touch too! thanks!!!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not as good as it used to bemangiamoDined on 7/3/2014I dont know what happened to this restaurant, it used to be really good. I went with a group of friends recently after I hadent been in awhile and it was terrible. I ordered a Mojito as a coctail and everyone else ordered beer. By the time the waitress brought my drink everyone else was already half done with their beers, it really shouldnt have taken that long. Then the drink was bright green! They mixed in some weird artificial spearmint flavoring that made it taste like a pack of gum with no alcohol. I then ordered the salmon risotto, what I got was broiled unseasoned salmon over white rice with cheese. I was not happy that I payed $17 for such bland food. I hope this place can get back to the caliber of food it used to have.Special Features:
- A fine experience, as usualShogunDined on 7/3/2014I enjoy this restaurant, as do my friends. We have dined here for years. The culture is that of a place earnestly seeking to please. The food is always excellent, and any occasional service hiccups are promptly fixed. This is a neighborhood gem that would excel anywhere - yet a pleasure to have so near.Special Features:
- Pongee13VIPDined on 6/25/2014Visited for a business lunch and ordered a Cobb Salad with salmon. Salmon was overcooked but waitress offered to replace it. Second round was better. Service was very good but food was okay. Not the same quality as it was several years ago.Special Features:
- Great place!JD123Dined on 6/21/2014Pasta Primavera is a delicious restaurant. Food is great, portions are large, service is prompt, and restaurant is clean. Been coming here for years and will definitely continue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still GreatKristieVVIPDined on 6/20/2014We always liked this place, but hadn't been here for several years. The dining room is very attractive and the ambiance is fun. Everyone seemed to be having a good time! Our server was very helpful and actually brought us tastes of four different red wines to help us make our choice. We started with the bruschetta with tomatoes which was delicious. Our party of three shared three different pasta dishes and they were all superb. Our server was happy to accommodate family style service. Love that they still have the jar of Jelly Bellys on they way out. We will return sooner next time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Easy To Miss....HontogakiVIPDined on 6/15/2014Located on a very busy street that is literally a freeway offramp; Pasta Primavera Café is easy to miss!! The menu appears to be "standard fare"; however, the way they prepare classics is very different in a positive way!!! The braised lamb shank special and carbonara were outstanding; the calamari was sautéed, not fried thus extremely tender and flavorful; butternut squash ravioli will bring me back again!!! A truly incredible dining experience that I only wished I had discovered years ago!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Its been betterJebettDined on 6/14/2014We love the neighborhood gem but this time things could have been better. 1. It took a very long time for our entrees to come out and when they did they were lukewarm at best. The veal was aslo very tough. 2. I asked for cheese to put on top off my entree and the young man never came back. 3. Waitress kind of forgot about us outside so I couldn't take by entree back to be rewarmed. Seem to be an off night.Special Features:
- Great Sauce & MusselsmusselloversDined on 6/7/2014This is our favorite East Bay Italian Restaurant. Their red sauce is excellent and the mussels are outstanding. All the pasta dishes are excellent. The italian style rib-eye steak over pasta with the red sauce is a winner.Special Features:
- Dinner at Pasta PrimaveraLoves2eatoutVIPDined on 5/24/2014This is a great place for an Italian dinner. The food is inexpensive but good. They have a private room that looks like it would seat a dozen people and would be great for a family celebration.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nice dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 5/24/2014Very attentive service, with tasteful food. Nice place for family birthdays.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nice placeGuestDined on 5/24/2014Had our son's grad lunch here. We had a private room for 12. Service and food were excellent. Would highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional serviceHealthyEpicureanVIPDined on 5/11/2014We've been coming here for years. The menu is expansive. For years, we only ordered (and very much enjoyed) the pasta dishes & the caesar salad. Recently, we've been branching out, enjoying the kababs & this amazing coconut dish (shrimp, chicken & rice noodles, not deep fried) that is not at all Italian, but its just fantastic. There are also healthy alternatives here! Whole wheat pasta. Kabobs over veggies instead of over rice. Also, if you don't like something, they'll change it. When I ask them to not use bell peppers, they don't use bell peppers. The cocktails are so much fun. I'm not much of a drinker, and I've never looked at the cocktail list, but they will make you anything you are in the mood for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service is decliningDizEorDined on 5/11/2014We have been coming here for years and the food continues to be excellent. Our last few visits though, the service has been very slow. Seems to be plenty fo staff but the manager seems to spend a lot of time talking to them in a group rather than ensure service is happening. Hope it will improve because we do enjoy the food.I would recommend this to a friend.
- A classic!Food2LoveDined on 4/25/2014Pasta Primavera has been around for as long as I can remember. I've enjoyed meals at the Walnut Creek and the Concord locations but this was my first visit back in three years just because I no longer work near either locations. The service is attentive and the food is delicious and fairly priced. Our waitperson was happy to accommodate our request to modify our entrees to gluten/wheat-free versions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MandEDined on 4/18/2014We dine here frequently. The food is wonderful, especially the spaghetti and ravioli dishes, which are our favorites. The service is always outstanding; the wait staff is very friendly and accommodating. Definitely a great place for a quiet meal or for a large group!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Neighborhood RestaurantManfieldDined on 3/19/2014Dined there with a date around 6:30 on a Wednesday night. Although I made a reservation, it wasn't required as we were seated right away, although the restaurant was fairly busy. The service was excellent from start to finish. Our server told us about the nightly specials, and seemed to know the wine list very well. The food arrived promptly and was delicious, and the tiramisu we shared was excellent. The restaurant is nowhere near downtown Walnut Creek, it is in a neighborhood just off I-680 and Treat Blvd. It's easy to find, and it has its own free parking. Pasta Primavera is a great neighborhood Italian restaurant, I look forward to my next visit.Special Features:
- A fine experience, as usualShogunDined on 3/17/2014This is a favorite haunt. The food is excellent and the service sincere. There are those moments when flaws arise, like watching an empty coffee cup after the check has cleared but guests are still dining. Hailing down a wait person or busboy solves the issue, but it subtracts points. Guests are to be watched until they exit the establishment for perfection. This is only mentioned to help this favorite establishment gain more of those who love a good meal, enjoy a quiet atmosphere, and want Pasta Primavera to prosper.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- we were surprised that weOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 3/9/2014we were surprised that we were given the private room. it was a special treat!Special Features:
- Never DisappointsMuncherVIPDined on 2/28/2014We remember the good food so we went back. Food quality was still good but service was slow due to the crowd there. We will go back to this place. Convenient parking at front & back of restaurant.Special Features:
- Never againTombitaDined on 2/14/2014The wait for food was too long over an hour. The food itself horrible "microwaved" pasta with flavorless sauce .. Bread was Safeway French bread that was warmed up in oven. Food bad- service bad-ambiance- bad.
- Bad Valentine's day dinnerTonyDined on 2/14/2014We got there early than the 8pm appointment so the hostess wouldn't seat us because she said we're early. Then by 8pm we got seated we were already starving! We were being offered all kinds of appetizers and was told by our waitress that the kitchen is behind. We weren't offered bread or anything until we ask. We were being push to order appetizers instead. Now the worst part we waiting for over an hour to get our food, by that time we already eat almost two service of bread. We lost our appetite by then and just decided to have some of the food we ordered to be brought home. I will never go back here on Valentine's day.
- Great jobRickDined on 2/14/2014Wend for Valentines Day dinner and had a great experience. Great food and great service. Try the calamari - a steak version - really great.Special Features:
- Was ignored for 15 minutesOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 2/13/2014We were not acknowledged for 15 min. We got up to leave and the manager apologized. I decided to give them one chance. Food. Appetizer was calamari. Over sauced and not fresh. Entree was oversauced and not tasty. I asked for freshly grated Parmesan and half of it landed on my lap. The only redeeming thing was the gelato.
- poor service, mediocre food & drinkRobbyVIPDined on 1/31/2014I was immediately seated. I arrived ahead of my wife so ordered cocktails and bruschetta. When she arrived 10 minutes later, we awaited the cocktails and bruschetta for yet another 10 minutes. Cocktails were watered down & not cold. We never got the bruschetta. I ordered soup of the day with my main course. I never got the soup. My wife enjoyed her pasta carbonara. My main course -- veal saltimbocca on penne pasta -- was hot but pedestrian in approach, okay but not remarkable. Of course, the check came with a charge for the undelivered soup -- a charge which, fortunately, our server removed without hesitation. We had not visited this restaurant in a while. I think it will likely be a while before we return, I'm sad to say.
- CUSTOMER SERVICEtsteofwineDined on 1/28/2014Usual spot for account lunch " be more attentive to guest- saw one guest storm out because he was never acknowledged . Our group was more patient due to chatting. But- quicker service would have been betterSpecial Features:

Parking is Always a challege but worth finding a spot...maybe down the street, near the church. AND leave room for their Tiramisu!!!!!!!!!!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

AP Political Writer
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- State Sen. Ralph Northam is the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor, defeating the former White House technology chief Aneesh Chopra in Virginia's statewide primary.
Northam claimed 51.5 percent of the vote on Tuesday.
The 53-year-old Northam is a pediatric neurologist who led the Democrats' Senate charge against a Republican bill that would require intrusive ultrasound exams of women seeking abortions. He will be up against Republican E.W. Jackson, a conservative Chesapeake minister and fiery opponent of abortion who likened Planned Parenthood to the Ku Klux Klan.
Chopra was Virginia's Secretary of Technology under Gov. Tim Kaine and chief information officer in President Barack Obama's White House until last year.

Vickie Howell applies her signature brand of fun and sense of style to Step It Up Knits.
The book opens with an instructional section, where all of the techniques in the book are shown in clear, step-by-step instructions. It's nice that this is in the front of the book, since it allows the knitter to get an idea of what will be required before she falls in love with a project.
...and fall in love she will. Projects range from completely adorable baby leggings to a cap with a plastic-stiffened brim to a lacy headband.
The yarns used are nice too, and offer both the precious and the easy-to-afford. Bernat, Berroco, Blue Sky Alpacas, Brooklyn Tweed, Knitting Fever, Lorna's Laces, Madeline Tosh and Spud & Chloe are all included.
Overall, 25 bright, fun designs that would work well in any knitter's bag.

What's Ahead for South Africa
Ken Salo grew up in Cape Town, South Africa and compares living in apartheid era South Africa to what he imagines it would have been like to live in the Jim Crowe era South in the United States. He attended a segregated university there and says what you could do and where you could go was dictated by whether or not you were black, white or colored.
This hour on Focus, we'll hear from Salo about the racial issues that Nelson Mandela spent his life and career confronting and what it was like to be confronted with them as a young man in daily life. Host Jim Meadows also talks with Teresa Barnes, who lived in South Africa for 25 years and studies the country's political and social history.

Westbury Village Mayor Peter Cavallaro continued his daily updates via email and Facebook, as he indicated that the nor'easter caused power outages in more homes, while others, who never regained power after Superstorm Sandy, remained in darkness.
"Prior to the nor'easter, we had approximately 700 houses in the village still without power. Unfortunately, as a result of the storm, many houses, including mine, lost power again, and we are now at about 2,300 homes with no power.
"The nor'easter caused a lot of tree damage as a result of the heavy weight of ice and snow on the leaves, causing many limbs to snap and bring down more wires. As of Nov. 8, LIPA was indicating that homes that were without power should anticipate another three to five days, with some outages lasting longer," said Cavallaro, who noted that information received from line crews on the streets should be regarded as unreliable.
The mayor added that the village continues to work on removing debris from the streets and its code enforcement personnel continue to patrol darkened streets at night to deter mischief and looting.
"So far, we have had no reports of any real problems, but we continue to be vigilant, as should you," Cavallaro said.
Sanitation pickups are back on schedule, Cavallaro said, and the odd-even gas schedule went into effect on Nov. 9, requiring gas stations to only sell fuel to drivers whose license plates' last digit correlates with the day of the month. Vanity plates with no digits are considered odd-numbered plates and out-of-state plates were subjected to the same restrictions.
As nighttime temperatures descended into the low 20s last week, County Executive Edward Mangano reminded Westbury residents of the available warming centers in the area, which included the Magnolia Gardens Senior Center, 899 Broadway; the Salisbury Senior Center, 460 Salisbury Park Drive (9 a.m. to 6 p.m.); and the Westbury Senior Center, 360 Post Ave. (8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.).
While Cavallaro noted that he has been in contact with LIPA "four or five times per day," he said the village was displeased with the number of workers in the Westbury area.
"We have complained to them that we do not have a larger contingent of crews in the area doing restoration work, but they assure us that they will do so in the coming days and that restoration will be picking up. We do not give credence to these claims and continue to press them.
"On the regular municipal official conference calls that LIPA holds twice a day, the anger and frustration of officials from all over Nassau County is as high as it is for us and our residents. LIPA is not doing a very good job anywhere, but we continue to press for a proper allocation of resources and manpower," Cavallaro said.
Village residents are reminded to call the code enforcement hotline at 333-1869 or village hall during the day at 334-1700 to discuss any specific incidents or to report an area with storm damage.
"Please call us if you have any concerns that you would like to discuss. If you would like to speak with me, please leave that message and I will call you back. Please pray for and assist those neighbors who are without power. The village will continue to do everything that we can to expedite a return to normalcy," said Mayor Cavallaro in a phone message sent to village residents.

With its curling quills, mellow aroma, and warm-sweet taste, cinnamon has delighted our senses for centuries. Along with frankincense and myrrh, cinnamon was one of the first spices used in the ancient world. Highly valued for its smell, by the sixth century B.C. cinnamon had become known as "an aroma of divine worship and of sensual luxury," writes Andrew Dalby in his book Dangerous Tastes.
By the 13th century, cinnamon had become a bit more accessible, used in ointments, perfumes, and cooking. Medieval cooks, so the myth goes, relied on spices such as cinnamon to preserve or disguise bad meat. But while cinnamon does have antibacterial and antifungal properties, "there were far cheaper methods for preserving foods, including salting, sun-drying, air-drying, and smoking," writes Clifford Wright in his book A Mediterranean Feast. The rich — the only people who could afford spices — ate the freshest meat anyway, so cinnamon was likely valued, as always, simply for its taste and aroma.
Today cinnamon is an ordinary flavor; we brush our teeth with cinnamon-flavored toothpaste, chew on cinnamon-flavored candies, toss cinnamon sticks into mulled cider, and sprinkle ground cinnamon on toast.
Cinnamon comes from an evergreen tree that grows in hot, moist climates. For cinnamon sticks, the inner bark is removed from the upper branches; the bark curls into sticks, often called quills. Ground cinnamon comes from large pieces of older bark found on the lower parts of the tree; this bark is usually stronger and more flavorful.
The finest grade of cinnamon comes from a species called Cinnamomum verum or Cinnamomum zaylanicum, which, according to Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking, is "light brown, papery and brittle, coiled in a single spiral, with a mild delicate flavor described as sweet." Other varieties of cinnamon, known as Saigon cinnamon, Chinese cinnamon, or cassia, are actually different species. McGee describes these additional varieties as "typically thick and hard, darker in color and much stronger in flavor, bitter and somewhat harsh and burning, as in the American 'red-hot' candy."
Most Americans today consume cassia, which the FDA allows to be labeled "cinnamon." But there are many sources of "true" cinnamon on the market. Look for the words "Ceylon" or "true" on the label and buy directly from a reputable spice merchant. If you grind your own true cinnamon, use only what you need, since the flavor is delicate and fades rapidly. And be sure to store all cinnamon properly in airtight containers protected from extreme temperatures and light.
When cooking, keep in mind that a sweet pie, cake, or pudding might taste better with a milder cinnamon, while a stronger, savory dish (such as a curry) might excel with a stronger cinnamon. For savory dishes spiced with cinnamon, look beyond northern European cooking to such foods as pastilla, moussaka, moles, and curries.
Keep in mind, too, that you don't always need to eat cinnamon. After a large meal, treat yourself to cinnamon tea instead of coffee as a digestive aid. Use a cinnamon quill to stir and flavor your tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. And when your winter house seems stuffy, try boiling a few cinnamon sticks in water to delicately perfume the air.
Elizabeth Lynch is a food photographer and freelance writer based in Chicago. She's quite fond of cinnamon and prefers the subtle Ceylon variety.

People who knew Ghazi Y. Khankan will always remember his velvety voice, his silvery white hair, his unmitigated commitment to justice in Palestine and his vision for Muslim contribution to American society. A pioneer in broadcasting, he launched Arabesque radio in 1967 – the longest running radio Arab-issues radio program in America. His work with the late Dr. Mohammad T. Mehdi put Khankan at the forefront of political advancement for Arab and Muslim Americans.
A native of Syria, Khankan studied at the Lycee Francais, at Aleppo College, and at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon. He completed his education at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles in the fields of business administration and international relations (1954-1960). He was the director of the Organization of Arab Students in the U.S. and Canada (1960-1964), and is past president of the National Council on Islamic Affairs (NCIA).
The Islamic Center of Long Island was spiritual home to El Hajj Ghazi Khankan for two decades. He directed and developed the public relations arm of ICLI, positioning the center as a base for information, education, interfaith efforts and influence.
Khankan campaigned for Palestinian rights and recognition alongside closely his friend Dr. Mohammad T. Mehdi, founder of the American Arab Relations Committee and helped promote the cause of Muslim integration in the United States with the NCIA which merged, in 1999 (after Mehdi's death) with the American Muslim Alliance.
A relentless advocate for inter-religious accord, Ghazi Khankan participated with the Islamic-Roman Catholic Dialogue, American Muslims and Jews in Dialogue, the Jewish-Christian-Islamic Commission of the National Conference of Community and Justice, the Long Island Multi-Faith Forum and the Long Beach Clergy Association. He was a regular guest on Long Island Cablevision Channel 25's Telecare programs, Father Tom and Religious Leaders and Circle of Faith. Khankan was a member of the N.Y. State Advisory Committee of the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights, and in November 1996 was designated by Nassau County Executive Thomas Gulotta to serve as his coordinator with the Muslim community on Long Island.
Many people remain grateful to Ghazi Khankan for officiating at their weddings; he was devoted to performing Islamic marriage services.
Khankan won numerous awards from Arab and Muslim student associations across the country. He was lauded by the Suffolk County Police Department, by CAIR-NY and by the Kiwanis Club of Long Beach.
Khankan was Islamic affairs advisor at the Long Island University, C. W. Post campus, and volunteered as Muslim advisor at North Shore University Hospital, where he passed away surrounded by family and friends on Thursday, April 26 after suffering a massive stroke.
His funeral was at the Islamic Center of Long Island in Westbury on April 27. He is buried at Rose Hill Cemetery in Linden, NJ.
Ghazi Khankan is survived by his wife Tanya, daughter Dahlia, son Yahya, their spouses, six grandchildren, devoted nephews, nieces, and extended family in the United States and around the world.
