responding to the question " Is everthing ok?"

Last night we were having dinner with another couple at white tablecloth restaurant and I had ordered a pasta dish with smoked duck breast and creamy mushroom sauce. Another member of the of the party ordered the same thing and we agreed It was not particularly flavorful. When the waiter came by with the usual question we replied with an "okay". Then the owner came by later and asked if we enjoyed the food. I replied with rather vague neutral answer and he asked me again very pointedly to which I replied the dish was rather bland.
He seemed taken a back.. He did offer another dish which I declined; every one else was finished by then. The other dinning companion had finished his entree, however I did not ( I do consider that Hi carb and fat dishes have to be worthy to be eaten) . But planned to take the leftovers and have a couple of meals after making some additions. The owner also offered a complimentary dessert, which I declined. We did subsequently ordered a dessert to share. This provoked much discussion among us that shouldn't the owner/ manager want to know and was entitled to a truthful answer. I am not a big complainer by nature. This was single owner independent restaurant, we had previously had an excellent meal there with the same chef. Should this have be handled differently by me and/or the owner? I might add the chef did come by all the tables later and we did not mention the bland dish to him as I assumed the owner would take care of that.
I think you handled it quite correctly. And the owner, by pursuing a more detailed answer, handled it correctly. I've done it rarely and always at a place where I would expect better. I don't want to be comped; it wasn't bad; it could use improvement. They'll never know if you don't speak up. You were polite. What's there to question?
I had a humerous experience the other night when eating at a famous Boston seafood restaurant. The server put down our appetizers and turned around to reach for the water jug. Then, automatically, she asked "how are the aps?" before any of us even had time to lift a fork. Everyone got a kick out that, including the server.
Sounds perfect to me. Owner sought feedback (however insincerely), you gave it professionally and he took it professionally. An offer for a comp should be declined in this situation, just as you did - that ritual is appropriate to the level of the issue that prompted it.
FWIW, I think you did just fine, as others here have said. I'm heartened that the owner wanted to offer you another choice, and it's equally nice to hear about a fair, honest customer who wouldn't take another, complimentary entree since your plan was to take the duck home, give it a little TLC and eat it.
My philosophy is that I will always tell a server, manager or proprietor, when they ask, if something is edible, essentially, but not ideal in some way--e.g., if it were tough, missing an ingredient that was listed on the menu, bland, as yours was, or overseasoned. Every earnest business owner or manager should have every opportunity to put the best product out he or she can, in order to be given a fair chance to compete in the marketplace, and that's only possible when they get honest, diplomatic, thorough feedback from their customers. I think especially in the case of independent restaurants, people get into that business because they love food, they love to express themselves creatively through food, and they intend to please, so I think it's kind in the long run to be honest, as a patron.
But...good customers who hope to see best quality product and service continue will also go out of their way to compliment the chef, servers and ownership on things done especially well, so I try to be conscientious about praising, too.
re: Steady Habits
ABSOLUTELY! I describe it as some people are quick to criticize but slow to praise.
re: c oliver
Yes, c...and the thing is, most of us as human beings feel uplifted from *sincere* praise, but it also serves a practical purpose, too, in situations like these. I bet most CHers on here know of cases in which a restaurant was excellent for the first few years after it opened, then somehow it began mysteriously to go downhill. Is it all due to proprietors resting on their laurels--I mean, in arrogance--or did they stop some practices or menu items because customers never took the time to let the establishment know how successful those were, from the patron's POV? Maybe a little of both with some restaurants?
re: Steady Habits
Thank you all for the replies and "Yes" in response to Steady Habits we were quick to praise the Benne Seed Shrimp Appetizer and the Lamb Chop Lollipops.
In a somewhat related experience, this past year a bistro/bakery opened within a few blocks of our house and we were delighted to have a place nearby. However we became friendly with the couple - this was their third restaurant - and felt that the hot food lunch buffet left something to be desired. They had different presentation at night with a chef, table cloths and bistro type meals. It seemed awkward to express how unattractive the layout of the lunch menu was in addition to other needed improvements. Unfortunately, they were forced to close after a few months. They were crushed. It seemed to us they were trying to do too many things- a bakery, lunch and dinner 7 days a week. They did have consultant in but did not heed his suggestions. I really want to support independently owned restaurants ( and bookstores) but they do have to please the customer.
re: memphischix
It's sad to see something like that happen, isn't it, when you think about how much an owner or owners have to put into opening and running an establishment. You want to see all the heart, money (whether theirs or investors'), effort and devotion come to fruition for their sake, and, especially in the cases of small towns, for the community. You're right, though...they need to please the customer, or at least, *enough* customers to make a run of it. They need to be judicious about how they apportion and apply their resources, but, then, so do we consumers. One doesn't like to see friends get hurt, but if it was their third venture, and they weren't neophytes, it's curious that they wouldn't at least *try* some of the suggestions a consultant they're paying might offer to improve or sustain business. I wonder at and admire some of the successful restaurateurs I've encountered or patronized--it's a hard business. Must feel great when it works, though.
I think you and the owner both handled it well. I've had similar experiences and when asked I always give and honest and polite answer. I always try to point out what I really like first and I've found with a smile and a good tone, you can tell them pretty much anything and usually get a polite or helpful response. Sometimes I've ended up having really nice conversations with a manager or owner and find out we have very similar food ideas or we both learn something new. We remember each other and future visits are better. Conversations like that help restaurants steer their businesses in a good direction for all.
I think that you have to decide whether you want to tell the "whole truth" or the "polite truth". Sometimes a dish isn't as good as we hope, but there isn't anything wrong with it and we don't feel like sending it back and/or ordering a replacement. Then the "polite truth" makes the most sense (Q: "Are you enjoying the food?" A:"Yes, thank you."). On the other hand, if you want to tell the "whole truth" you have to anticipate that any owner (or hopefully server) worth his or her salt will try to fix it. If you don't let them fix it, it can be an uncomfortable situation for everyone - the owner is worried that you won't come back and will tell everyone that you didn't enjoy the food and you want the owner to just go away and quit pestering you.
What you wrote sounded a little passive aggressive to me - you told the waiter everything was fine (polite truth), but then gave the owner a "vague neutral answer" which requires the owner to inquire further (I mean, who is going to just let a vague neutral answer go unclarified unless he doesn't care at all?), rather than to just cut it off and tell him the polite truth or get it out and tell the owner the whole truth in the first place.
I think that if you go the "whole truth" route you should let the owner do what he can to fix it - he wants you to leave with a good impression of the restaurant's food and service so that you have good things to say rather than bad or neutral. That's his business and he wants to protect it, so let him. Otherwise, I vote for the polite truth.
I think you did right. Perfectly, in fact. You were truthful, yet polite. Personally, I think more people should speak up.
When someone asks " Is everthing ok?" I often respond: "Everything?" Wow, that's a *really* broad question. Well, my car needs work..."
It was good to see the higher ups respond so well. When I was in the business I took complaints seriously. Even when the customer is wrong they're still right. Does it mean I never expressed my , um, opinions in the BOH? Of course not. But when it's busy who has time for such distractions?
I think it's important for servers or even the owners to ask, and just as important for the customers to respond constructively if feedback needs to be given.
Wichita's such an over-saturated restaurant market that many new restaurants don't have time for a customer's second visit to give feedback. I've tried places out where you can just TELL that the place won't be there in 6 months, and I've WANTED to give some sort of input/encouragement, but I didn't want to seem forward.
We had a neighborhood pizza place open: 9" pan pizzas cooked on a countertop rotating pizza oven similar to those you can buy for home use to cook a frozen pizza. The operator had maybe 12 of these, which I'm sure was more economical than keeping a full-blown pizza oven hot for the 16 hours a day he was open., but it limited the number of customers he could serve, because it took 12-15 minutes for a pizza to cook. And the crust had no yeast, so it was chewy and flavorless, and he put apple slices on his sausage pizza, and there wasn't enough cheese, and to save on the costs of ice and cups he only offered canned pop from a huge trash can full of ice...everyone could see the almost instantaneous demise in the cards. Maybe he could have saved it if he had, at the very least, asked his carry-out customers if he could follow up regarding their opinions of his pizza, or attached a stamped comment card to the pizza pan lid. I love to fill out comment cards.

Interbrand is honored for the new Wrigley's Extra design at the iF packaging awards
Munich, 10 February 2011 – Extra smiles at Interbrand in Hamburg. With good reason: At the 2011 iF packaging awards, one of the leading international design competitions, Interbrand will receive a coveted iF award for the redesign of Wrigley's Extra.
Wrigley's Extra is Germany's most popular chewing gum brand, with a brand recognition rate of 97 percent. Its visual identity had remained virtually unchanged since its introduction in 1992. In addition to modernizing and standardizing the brand design for the expanded portfolio of products, Interbrand was called upon to enhance the brand's visibility on store shelves and set it apart from the competition. The new visual identity of Wrigley's Extra emphasizes both the brand's distinctive flavors and its benefits for oral health.
"We are very proud of the award, which underscores the success of our harmonization and modernization effort. Tests by an independent market research institute have confirmed that consumers find the new look of the brand up to 30% more appealing," said Ronald Bartikowski, Creative Director at Interbrand Hamburg.
A panel of international experts put together by iF chose the winners of the 2011 iF packaging awards from among 201 entries submitted by 114 participants from 24 countries. The five judges honored a total of 59 entries. Five of them were singled out for an iF gold award to be presented at a prize ceremony on 12 May 2011, the opening day of the interpack trade fair in Düsseldorf. All 59 of the 2011 iF packaging award winners will be on display at a public exhibit during the trade fair, to be held from 12-18 May 2011. Beginning on 12 May 2011, the winning entries can also be seen in an online exhibition on the iF website www.ifdesign.de.

Get an alert when new Brantley Gilbert dates are announced
Country music's newest success Brantley Gilbert was born and raised in the small town of Jefferson, Georgia, just outside of Athens city limits. It is that upbringing and small town influence that Gilbert credits toward allowing him to cultivate his unique sound. Gilbert's taste in music always swayed toward a southern country rock feel, but his true-to-life testimony of heartache, trials, triumph, and success found a home in country music.

California Republicans Move To Derail High Speed Rail [1]
A Republican lawmaker in the California Assembly today introduced "lemon law" legislation designed to derail state debt funding for the proposed high speed rail project that would link Northern and Southern California.
Assembly Bill 1455, introduced by Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, R-Dana Point, makes use of Article XVI of the state constitution, which allows the Legislature to repeal that portion of the High-Speed Rail Bond debt that is not outstanding or contracted.
"The verdict is clear — it's time for California to move forward and de-rail this ill-conceived project," Harkey said upon introducing the bill. "Lack of future federal funding, oversight, accountability and inconsistency in route and planning should sound a strong signal to pull the plug. This one project has the potential to double our state's debt and become a huge future drain on our state's budget, while our existing rail and roadway infrastructure is in dire need of repair."
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking news alerts delivered right to your inbox! [3]
Harkey noted that after years of negative reports from analysts and auditors, recently even the California High Speed Rail Authority's own Peer Review group advised the Legislature and the governor discontinue funding.
Construction costs for Phase 1 of the project are now estimated at $98-$117 billion alone, not including operating costs. Work is slated to begin this year on the 130-mile stretch in California's Central Valley between just north of Bakersfield and just south of Merced, using state funding already in place.
In November, CaHSRA officials predicted the project would employ 100,000 workers in the next five years, and generate another 1 million jobs moving forward.
"I'm very fearful that this plan will become a reality, extremely fearful," Harkey said. "It could double our state's debt. It will make us a Third World nation."
"Clearly, the high-speed rail plan has been a complete failure up to this point," said Assemblyman Cameron Smyth, R-Santa Clarita. "I remember as a (Santa Clarita City Council) staff member back in the mid-'90s testifying in support of high-speed rail, and here we are, 15-16 years later, and no ground has even been broken. They want to start in the Central Valley, where quite frankly very few people will be using it. If the high speed rail (project) is going to survive, (CaHSRA officials need) to change the way they've been operating."
Smyth said the public's and the Legislature's frustration with the high-speed rail commission has been bubbling for several years, and he's not surprised that there would be an effort to completely de-fund or dismantle it at this point.
"I think bills like this are a good idea to really wake up the commission," Smyth said. "Unfortunately, I don't think the bill will make it through the process, but if it's enough to get the commission to understand that they'd better change the way they do business, or they will continue to see similar legislation, then it will have its desired effect."
For more information, see the CaHSRA's 2012 business plan [4].

Leaked: Camera Equipped Garmin Oregon 550
GPS Review has uncovered a leak in some REI promotional material which seems to indicate that Garmin is planning to extend the Oregon Series by adding two new high end models to the product line-up. The difference? The 500′s include an integrated camera. There are two models listed – a 550 and 550t, presumably these units would be similar to the 300 and 400t with the addition of the camera. No word on the camera specifications.
REI has priced the 550 and 550t at $550 and $600, respectively, however given that the 400t is also listed for $600 in the same brochure something doesn't seem quite right!
Updated: Given that Garmin has announced geotagging support in their forthcoming BaseCamp software it would make sense that these new units will have built in geotagging support. Note there is also some confusion over whether these devices will be called the 500/500t or 55o/550t. (Garmin is calling the new units the 550/550t). The REI flyer lists them as the 500/500t but certain links on REI's web site indicate the units may be called the 550/550t.

Grizzly bears are rebounding, making it crucial that people heed bear aware programs and officials convey that message in a coherent package.

RALEIGH — NHL commissioner Gary Bettman again declined to comment on the specifics of the recently filed litigation involving the Atlanta Spirit, owners of the Thrashers, but said: "There seems to be lots of litigation that goes on with respect to that franchise."
Bettman spoke at a news conference Saturday from the NHL All-Star game. In an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday, Bettman refused comment on the litigation or the claims it included. One of those claims was that the Thrashers have been for sale since shortly after the Atlanta Spirit purchased the team, the Hawks and Philips Arena.
The Spirit filed a $200 million malpractice lawsuit last Friday against an Atlanta law firm used in the buyout of a former partner Steve Belkin, claiming the firm's negligence cost them millions of dollars and made them "unable to sell or otherwise dispose of the Atlanta Thrashers."
Said Bettman: "My guess is this is another step in the journey for ownership trying to sort things out if they think they've been grieved by the lawyers representing them and will prosecute that case and collect any damages they are entitled to if the court finds in their favor."
Bettman updated ownership issues in Phoenix, Dallas and Buffalo. He did not address the Thrashers until asked. He also reiterated the NHL's stance that there are no plans to expand or relocate when asked about the prospects of Canadian cities Winnipeg and Quebec City getting a franchise.
Atlanta Spirit owners have stated publicly that they are looking for investors to replace Belkin. With regard to adding another ownership element to a group that spent nearly six years in court, Bettman said: "The last few years have been taxing on ownership from a financial standpoint in respect to the basketball team, the hockey team and the arena. If people are looking to restructure the economics to bring in more capital it might not be crazy for them to be seeking to add to the wherewithal to deal with those issues."
Skills competition
Dustin Byfuglien broke the 100-mph mark with both his chances in the hardest-shot portion of the Super Skills competition Saturday night. The Thrashers' defenseman defeated Columbus' Rick Nash in his preliminary round with shots of 101.3 and 102.4 mph. However Boston's Zdeno Charo defeated Nashville's Shea Weber in the finals of the contest with a record shot of 105.9.
"Mostly I was just trying to break 100," Byfuglien said. "That was my goal."
Byfuglien was also a part of the skills-challenge relay. His team finished with the third fastest time, with Byfuglien one of the one-timer shooters.
Other individual winners were: New York Islanders' Michael Grabner, fastest skater; Washington's Alexander Ovechkin, breakaway challenge; Vancouver's Daniel Sedin, accuracy shooting. Following the Shootout Challenge, Team Staal defeated Team Lidstrom 33-22.
"It was lots of fun," Byfuglien said. "Any time you get to go out there with all those good guys and get to see what they can showcase and be a part of it, it's always good."
Prospect news
According to reports out of Sweden, Thrashers prospect Carl Klingberg, a second-round pick in 2009, will switch teams in the Swedish Elite League. Klingberg will move from Frolunda to Timra, according to the report. Klingberg's Frolunda coach was quoted as saying Klingberg was unhappy playing for the team.
If the Thrashers choose, Klingberg could be signed to a contract with AHL Chicago following the Swedish Elite season.

They continue to make a bad situation worse every year. How does the ASG expect support when they don't support the franchises themselves. They have absolutely no commitment at all in terms of wanting them to succeed and giving them the tools to do so.

Poster WOW, maybe even the ticket takers and ushers want the ownership removed? Let's go "Regime Change!" Clap, clap. Clap, clap, clap. Let's go Regime Change!
Ahh, Commissioner Bettman. At what point can you still wait to assume control of the Atlanta Thrashers? Just in the past week, the AS,LLC has sued K-Mart for failure to deliver quality and quantity of buzzing pony rides in front of their store, Pizza Hut … over what Bruce thought was a 'pathetic attempt' at a DOUBLE CHEESE pizza, a renowned Airines … because that curtain is no protection from passengers in Coach. Bruce insists that there be a locking door separating 1st class. And they're suing those bubblegum machine manufacturers for swallowing quarters and failure to deliver a GUARANTEED prize in every container. Has there ever been a more litigation-happy group?
Before they're done, they'll sue Gary Bettmen for not realizing how dysfunctional they were as ownership group when he and the Board of Governors approved their bid for franchise ownership. In short, the $50 million by which the team has been devalued since they assumed control of it … is ultimately the Commissioner's fault. His LACK of PROPER VETTING resulted in their ownership, and subsequent devaluation. They'll be seeking damages vs. the League for 'incompetence.' For not recognizing THEIR incompetence, as owners.

Schultz LOVES to blame all things on the Atlanta Spirit Group. If you're going to repeatedly bash the Hawks and the Thrashers in the hometown paper, like Jeff Schultz does, then you should at least be required to attend a minimum number of Hawks and Thrashers games per year. How credible is a sport columnist who doesn't even go to the games?
Hate the ASG? OK. Want to run them out of town like Jeff Schultz? OK….Get ready to drive to Nashville or Charlotte to watch a LIVE NBA or NHL game! Maybe Jeff Schultz can drive one of the tour buses from ATL? This argument is SO OLD that Jeff Schultz starts yet another blog about it and can only get SEVEN comments in the first 2-1/2 hours….[yawn]
Give it a rest Schultz. Go to a Hawks or Thrashers game every once in awhile. We went to last night's Hawks/Knicks game. It was an announced sellout. If the Hawks leave, there's quite a few basketball fans who are going to be sorry. We also went to the dismantling of the Falcons by the Packers at the Dome. Maybe Arthur Blank should sell the Falcons since they failed so miserably? It's obviously the OWNER'S fault, right?
It's the ASG's fault that Joe Johnson is always too tired to show up for the 2nd round of the playoffs, right? It's the ASG's fault that they coughed up $120 MILLION to keep Joe Johnson in ATL, right? It's the ASG's fault that they offered Ilya Kovalchuk $101 MILLION to stay in ATL and he bolted, right? Can we also blame the Braves monumental failures on the ASG? Ask Jeff Schultz….It HAS to be their fault too.
Problem is, there are HUNDREDS of cities in the USA who would LOVE to have an NBA franchise call them home. The same can be said for NHL franchises….Except add in a couple of dozen CANADIAN cities who would kill to have one. And here's poor 'ol Jeff Schultz…..Writes a sports column in the ATL paper and he just can't wait to run the Hawks and Thrashers out of town. All of us REAL FANS had better hope all of his efforts continue to remain futile.
It won't be any fun driving to another Southern city to watch a live NBA or NHL game. We'll all look back at "The Good Old Days" when we had the Hawks and Thrashers to go see, with a live game opportunity nearly every night of the week……Until Jeff Schultz ran them both out of town.
With hometown sports columnists like Jeff Schultz, who needs sports columnists from other US and Canadian cities continually trying to pry the Hawks and Thrashers away from ATL? He's trying to PUSH THEM AWAY as hard and fast as he possibly can…..If he's successful, then maybe only Mark Bradley will remain as the last AJC sports columnist.
How fitting it would be if Jeff Schultz ran the Hawks and Thrashers out of town…..And along with them, his own pathetic job of continuous criticism of the hometown teams.

Bettman needs to see that "lots of litigation" isn't good for the team, the (few remaining) fans, or the NHL and should try and force the Thrashers to leave Atlanta and find new owners. And one way to do that is the buy the franchise and sell only when the owner promises to buy and move the team.
Since the Thrashers need to continually stage silly promotions just to get fans to show up, the team leaving Atlanta really shouldn't have a large negative economic impact on the city.

The Hawks lose in the playoffs every year. Their few remaining fans or the NBA should try and force the Hawks to leave Atlanta and find new owners. And one way to do that is the buy the franchise and sell only when the owner promises to buy and move the team.

The Braves won 14 straight Division Titles and only 1 World Series – how embarrassing! Their few remaining fans or MLB should try and force the Braves to leave Atlanta and find new owners.

The Falcons can't even win a playoff game when they make the playoffs – how embarrassing! Their few remaining fans or the NFL should try and force the Falcons to leave Atlanta and find new owners.

C'mon gang, get off the ASG issue. Sure they may not be the brightest business bulbs in the drawer, but the key issue is the product on the ice and we are better this year than we have been in past years. We have a better GM and a better coach. Watching the NHL skills challenges, it is apparent that there is a lot of talent spread around the league. And, I don't see the Red Wings, Philly or Rangers buying the best goalie or loading up on the best scorers. There is real parity in the league. Not sure that someone with deeper pockets than the ASG group would do any better than what we have on the ice. Lawsuits are a part of big business, move on.

Ok, so I know where some people stand on this having addressed it before, but I'm gonna talk hockey equipment. No, I haven't played in about a decade, nor have I ever used composite sticks, but I've noticed something very obvious. THEY HELP INCREASE VELOCITY IN ALL FORMS OF FOREHANDED SHOOTING. It's so glaringly obvious watching these sticks flex back on the downward motions and whip forward on the release, OB-VI-OUS. I guarantee you that you'd see far less players cracking 100 or more mph LIKE WE USED TO. Players aren't much bigger than they were 15 years ago, so that's not it either. They don't train vastly different either, so 86 that rationale too. It's the sticks, period. In my opinion Al Iafrate and Al McCinnis would still be amongst the hardest shots if they were fit enough to compete against the current crop using the same compostite sticks and I wonder how much harder they'd shoot than the rest.
Next, skates. Ice Hockey equipment, especially skates has gone the way of the Air Jordan's, IMO. Somewhere in the last 15 years or so they LEAPED in price and continue to do so. They are made with all kinds of new "improved" materials. Yeah, they're moe comfy and lighter, but not nearly as durable and I hate to say this, but I don't see an increase in performance. Between my old leather Tacks and my space age 1052s circa 2000, my performance remained, break-in was better and that's about it. I did manage to spend about 200 or more than I ever spent on a professional boot and popped eyelets (something I never did before). Anywho, who are the fastest skaters in modern history, Mike Gartner, Sergei Fedorov are the top 2 and both had laps UNDER 14 seconds (no fluke I know Gartner did that twice). That said, what were they skating? That's rhetorical.
So, my point maybe trivial and inconsequential to many, but I think with all the OVERPRICED space age crap that hits the markets a la Reebok Edge and such all most are getting is a further depleted bank account. Not so much an increase in performance. Depending on if you value a stick that lasts many times longer and costs much less or an addition 3-5 or so mph on your forehanded shots, just sayin'.

Did not like the earrings on Buff for sure, Tacky. The commissioner seems to be unconcerned
with the sitution here, which, frankly amazes me. He should have laid down the law to these known liars once and for all. If they do not get their collective house in order, and I see no way they ever will, the NHL needs to step in. Has the commissioner abandon Atlanta now ? Plus how many of us get sick and tired of these Canada crybabies whining and moaning over needing more Canada teams. They have enough… See a lot of empty seats at Ottawa & Edmonton games, guess Kansas City & Houston would be likely cities to move to. Canada fans do not own the game of hockey, they have no right to the game, it is international, not one country, so get a life Canada fans and mainly
try for once to act like mature adults rather than ranting little crybabies griping all the time about something that you cannot control. Either shut up or go away, Please.
Lastly, does everyone remember Snydel on opening night 2007 ? Standing at center ice telling everyone that "they" were doing everything possible to bring The Stanley Cup to town. Then Hossa left and it's been worse since. It now pains me to think to that night and how that little nothing person stood there and lied his butt off, I cannot believe the NHL would allow known liars to own a franchise in their league. Come on Mr.Bettman… Do something !
January 30th, 2011
3:43 pm
the red panty pirate, Please explain how a writer from the local paper will or can run a team out of town ? You can watch on TV to see enough of is a team good or bad, is ownership good or bad.
Mr.Schultz, simply reports on an issue in the sports world and I find his comments 99% point on.
But in all honesty , how can he move a professional sports team ? He has no control, no financial interest and no clout to have a say so in any of that. With a name like yours, I would suggest a trip to Millegeville, to the state mental hospital, where your crazy thoughts can be controled by medication and yoiu cannot hurt yourself and other more informed sports fans !

Apparently East Pointy-Head Bob has no idea what kind of impact a headline in the AJC such as:
"Thrashers Blow It With Kovalchuk, As With Everything Else"
has to affect the casual hockey fan in Atlanta, GA. In fact, the MAJORITY of NHL fans in Atlanta, GA who attend Thrashers games live and in person are CASUAL fans, not STH. Do your homework East Pointy-Head Bob….Review Jeff Schultz's headlines, print stories & blogs for the past year and add up how many of those would STIMULATE a casual hockey fan to get their friends/family together for a trip to Philips to see the Thrashers….Then add up how many would leave the casual hockey fan shaking their head and saying, "Well at least I know we aren't going to waste our money going to see THAT team play!"
You see East Pointy-Head Bob, tis a society run by an economic engine in which we find ourselves. Professional sports teams in difficult markets already have a limited life expectancy from Day One. The absolute LAST thing a franchise in a precarious position such as this needs is the home town sports columnist continually imprinting in everyone's minds who picks up and reads the AJC:
"The ASG is BAD….The Thrashers Can't Do Anything Right…..Bettman Says The Thrashers Ownership Has Problems…..The Thrashers Suck…..Don't Waste Your Money Going To Philips Arena"
Is it any wonder attendance at Thrashers games is stuck in a year over year annual decline? Is that a clear enough picture for you, East Pointy-Head Bob, of how a local sports columnist can destroy a sports franchise?
Now imagine a sports columnist who continually ENCOURAGES casual fans to attend the local hockey team's games. A columnist who writes about how EXCITING the latest Thrashers game was….How LOUD the crowd was at Philips Arena. How you're missing out if you don't go to Thrashers games. Of course that's Chris Viv, to some extent. But unfortunately he doesn't get the front page spread most of the time like Bradley & Schultz.
thrash head: That was Chapter TWO for you…….

January 31st, 2011
12:41 am
Allow me to be the voice of reason here. I'm not too concerned about Bettman not saying much on the matter at all. Likely he wants to see what comes of this new round of litigation or when some new potential buyers come around we will hear more. But until then, I firmly believe that Bettman will continue his track record of keeping teams right where they are. Lets look at the bright side. In comparison to say Phoenix, we did not have to go bankruptcy, and we don't have arena lease issues. Plus, at least we don't have a parasite like Jim Balsillie breathing down our necks and prematurely selling season tickets packages in Hamilton. As of right now we are'nt going anywhere.
January 31st, 2011

panty head pirate, you have no idea as to what you are talking about, not a damn thing, you are a little name caller who has likely never been to a game. Just go away and leave the hockey blogs to serious concerned fans and not idiots like yourself… You can be in Milledgeville is only a little over an hour away !

By the way, if you watch any games on the Center Ice Package, you will see that EVERY team does crazy promotions. Definitely not just an Atlanta thing. Bettman is not going to let the #9 TV market in the states move to Winnipeg or Hamilton. Just doesn't make sense for a sport that is trying to build up it's television presence. Ratings are bad enough now, could you imagine the impact of an Edmonton vs. Hamilton Stanley cup final? You could probably count the number of american viewers on one hand.
January 31st, 2011
4:48 pm
I agree with most of RED's comments. Schultz is a D-bag and has nothing good or meaningful to say but he's definitely not a big enough voice to run anyone out of town. Teams aren't going anywhere. New ownership? Maybe but they're here to stay. Find something worth talking about.

It's starting to get so bad that I can't even when I talk to my wife, Sue Clisters.

Customer comments about Wyatt Queen High Headboard Storage Bed:
Due to the storage drawer the bed lacks a cross bar so it is never squared so the drawer always has a space on one side so it never closes completely. Not only is it frustrating, it gives the bed a sloppy look. My advice - skip the drawer and stick with the bed without the storage option.

Customer comments about Wyatt King High Headboard Storage Bed:
The delivery men were meticulous about bringing the bed in and assembling it. They were very careful not to scratch or bang the bed or the furniture that was already there. Unfortunately, a section of the leather was damaged from the manufacturer but the service department ordered me a new bed and I am using the old bed until the new one comes in.
This company is awesome! Every part of the experience from Room and Board is top notch. The store experience is amazing, the delivery men are great and the customer service is second to none. I am in the process of furnishing the rest of my apartment and Room and Board is where I plan to shop!!

Customer comments about Wyatt Queen High Headboard Storage Bed:
We've had our king size Wyatt bed for about 3 years. We are pretty hard-core R&B fans with a lot of furniture purchased from these folks over the years. As with our other purchases, this is a rock-solid bed. I practically choked on the price, but the leather is extremely high quality. It's a very heavy bed. I was worried about scratching it in various ways, especially because it's wrapped around the frame all the way to the floor. So all the random finger/toenail gouges, scratches, etc. (sorry to be graphic) were a concern. But after a few years, it's been shockingly indestructible, with very little evidence of scratching except as *maybe* extremely faint marks of character (and I do mean FAINT; we're pretty uptight about stuff like that). It's definitely on the high end of what we're used to paying but absolutely a quality product. Very rich looking with our mid-century walnut furniture.

If you're a music nerd, Scott Heim is the guy you should corner at a party. He can hold court on '50s bubblegum pop (Connie Francis), then get teary-eyed about modern indie rock (Beach House), and end the night discussing the merits of country queens (Dolly Parton). I've had that exact conversation with him, maybe twice.
In other words, Heim, a voracious music fan who's a Boston-based writer (including the novels "Mysterious Skin" and "We Disappear"), is the perfect person to edit a new e-book series called "The First Time I Heard."

Hey Melissa-
Thanks so much for hosting the tasting last week. The food was AMAZING and it was so great to see everything set up, almost like a reception! I was definitely able to envision the way things will be the day of our wedding, and I couldn't be happier!
~Erin Kearney (Bride September 2012)
Hi Melissa,
The weekend was FANTASTIC!! The girls really enjoyed the bed and breakfast. Everyone had a wonderful time and the Saturday night party was perfect!! Compliments to you and your staff.

Thanks again for everything!
Megan (Birthday Party February 2012)
Dear Melissa,
Gudrun and Jay will be in touch with you, I am sure. But, in the meantime, Vicky and I want to say THANKS for all you did to make THE BIG DAY very special. You and your staff were great. You personally took the time to listen to our ideas and then you executed things so well.
It is clear that you love what you do and it shows in your work. Our family would gladly recommend you and The Morehead Inn to anyone.
Best regards,
Peter Jorgenson (Wedding March 2012)
Thank you for all of your help making the MHA's Chocolate Therapy event a success. The set-up and food were wonderful, Kathy and all the staff took care of our needs. Our guests really seemed to enjoy themselves. Thanks for all of your time and graciousness to the MHA as a non-profit!
Thanks for a lovely wedding! Bryan and I were very pleased with the entire event. It all went very smoothly and all guests seemed to enjoy it.
Thanks again,
Gayle Tennent Gabriel
We had such a wonderful week-end. Morehead Inn worked out so beautifully for my family accommodations, ambience. I still miss that wonderful breakfast every morning and those cocktails in the afternoon. And, the rehearsal dinner was so comfortably elegant; I felt as if I were in a fairy tale. We are so thrilled that we found you and Morehead Inn...Many thanks… We'll be back. Next time, we will just be guests… We won't obnoxiously take over the entire premises.. Please give all my many thanks to Linda Kiss, Melissa, Tawanda, Kay, Crafton and Dwight…
Scott Bell
Jack, what a wonderful celebration!! The wedding was so sweet and so much fun!! I want to thank you for being you and making Jordan's day go so well. The Van Landingham made us all feel so special and at home and it was commented by so many how beautiful everything was.... You are so special and I just love Jack now ...it was a safe feeling to know Jack is in charge!! Take care and know we appreciate all you did for us..
Jennie Lacivita
...just a note to thank you for having everything ready for us the last couple of days. And, also to let you know that Rick took care of us flawlessly. I don't think it has ever gone so smoothly. Everything from constant care with beverages to electronic needs to our lunches. I didn't get his last name, but please pass on to whomever that we couldn't have had a successful meeting without him.
Thank you,
Linda Bjorkman
Dear Jack,
Wow! What an incrediable night we enjoyed for our wedding!!! You were awesome to work with and I knew that it would be good at the Morehead Inn but it was so beyond my dreams!! You handled everything with such professionalism and made me feel very confident in the event staff. The entire staff that worked with us on Saturday, July 30th was wonderful. The Inn was beautiful, setup great, and guests so happy. The transition between wedding and reception was remarkable (I heard 7 minutes!). While I did not get to eat at the reception, I heard that the food was so so good and looked beautiful. (I would love to have dinner at the Inn sometime to enjoy the food). I heard raves about the food. The entire evening was over-the-top! You are wonderful and I would love the opportunity to work with you again! Thank you for all you did to make that day the best of my life. Rob and I are loving our life together! I wanted to ask you about an event that Van is in charge of for Northside Christian Academy. He is hosting his 25th high school reunion on October 1st. There will be 25-30 adults in attendence. He is looking for a very reasonable place and with reasonable prices for the dinner. Is the library available? What kind of pricing can you do for him? Have a wondeful day! Thank you again for everything!!!
Missy Johnston
Hey Jack,
Just wanted to say hello and let you know that we are living "happily ever after"! Our perfect wedding was immediately followed by what we feel is the perfect marriage. We reviewed our wedding photos this weekend and wanted to thank you once again for being an absolute pleasure to work with. You took great care of us and decreased our stress level tremendously. We have recommended the VLE to several friends and hope to come out there again sometime for a picnic. Hope your summer is going well...take care!
Mike and Amanda Sellers (May 23, 2008)
I can't thank you enough for making Megan & Matt's wedding so beautiful and perfect Saturday. Everything was wonderful. I've heard nothing but praise from loads of people that attended - the food was fabulous, the service outstanding, the house and gardens absolutely beautiful. The list could go on. You and your staff know what you are doing and you are very good at it!!! You gave Megan a fairy tale wedding and I do thank you. Unfortunately I only have one daughter so we don't have any more weddings to host, but I can assure you I will recommend without any hesitation or reservation The VanLandingham Estate to friends and family who may be planning such events in the future. Thanks again!
Marty McKenzie
Dear Jack,
I just wanted to let you and everyone who was involved in Lindsay and Jamie's wedding know how much we appreciated all the hard work that went into making it such a wonderful memory for the two of them. I wanted Lindsay to have the wedding of her dreams, and that is exactly what she got. I was worried about how we were going to put it together in the two hours we had following the previous wedding, but as promised, it all worked out. A small army came out of the woodwork to make it all happen. The food was wonderful---many compliments on how delicious everything was! And could you believe the perfect weather? adine was extremely helpful, and a lot of fun, too! The girls really enjoyed her being around. But, most of all, Jack, thank you for all your help and assistance. You reassured and kept me sane (most of the time). I thought I was running around like a crazy person, but I think you had me beat! At least......you knew what you were doing. I had many people tell me that they had no idea that a place like the VLE existed. I'm sure with the beauty and excellence in service, that the word will be spread!!
Thanks again for a beautiful wedding, (June 18, 2005)
Jenny Williams
Carolyn & Philomena:
Katie & I want to express or deepest appreciation and thanks for your warm, friendly, caring thoughts and your heartwarming company while we had the pleasure of staying at the Estate.
You ladies made our trip most enjoyable and we look forward to our next visit.

Mary & Katie
Dear Julie -
Although you were very much missed on Saturday, Jack and Adam did a bang up job. Just as I expected. But this note is to single you out as one of the best project planners and mangers I have had the privilege of being coupled. I could not have completed the task of the reception with such ease if you had not been there to tie all of the lose ends together. You were friendly pleasant and so very helpful.. You even encouraged me when I was discouraged. I do not know how to express my thanks to you for the wonderful day. Everything was just perfect. Everyone had a marvelous experience. The Bride and Groom enjoyed themselves, because all of the details were handled with such ease and grace. Your input was invaluable. I feel like I made a friend. When all was said and done, we felt as if for a few hours we had been transported to something akin to Neverland. Expect to hear from me some day very soon and we will celebrate a successful partnership. Thank you again for being such a god send. You are a true asset to your company.

Hi Julie,
Just wanted to say thank you once again for making Ruth and John's weekend so special. From the luncheon to the final breakfast on Sunday, you and your staff were most gracious and helpful in every way. We really appreciate the willingness of everyone to do what was asked with smiles on their faces. My special thanks to Adam for working throughout the weekend and especially to YOU for all the planning and preparations that you most graciously sat through. Many of our guests made comments to us about what a great facility The Morehead Inn was and many also said they had never been to an event there, so hopefully the weekend will also provide some additional business for you. We will with highest recommendations do our best to be good advertising for you all. Finally, as a hugh compliment--Ruth said to me Saturday night when she and John were leaving, "Thank you for making the day so perfect"--which of course would never have happened without you and all your terrific staff! We're still holding out for Kathryn to use your facilities--and thankfully we'll have a few years to build up the "coffers."
All the Best,
Just a quick note to THANK YOU for all your help this past Saturday with the Segura reception. Sometimes, folks just need to be pulled along to get them to do things I guess. You allowing the first dances on the patio was a FANTASTIC touch- the guests really enjoyed it and the bride and groom commented at the end of the night how romantic it was. You proved AGAIN, why the VanLandingham and the Morehead Inn are THE place to have your special events- you take such good care of everyone involved!
See you soon,
Bill the DJ
Hi Julie,
I just wanted to thank you very much for helping Spruce and I have such a special wedding day. Everything was perfect. You are very good at what you do. People can't stop bragging about what a beautiful wedding and ceremony it was. I couldn't have done it without you. You made everything run smoothly at the wedding and I didn't have to worry about a thing. It was the wedding that I have always dreamed of having. It was a pleasure working with you.
Thank you very much,
I want to thank the staff of the VanLandingham Estate. Our daughter's wedding was spectacular. Twenty one years ago my wife and I had our wedding at the Morehead Inn. Several years ago my niece had her wedding at the Morehead Inn. My daughter liked the VanLandingham Estate. Julie was perfect. She was fun to work with and in the last days before the wedding totally attentive. On the day of the wedding, she a true gem. She was cool, responded to every request of parents, bride and groom and quests. She found candles that were better than the ones I brought, pins to keep flowers together, and made sure everything went well. She was always engaged in our wedding plans and a Jewish wedding. She is an asset to the Inn and Estate. My daughter told us that she had the "wedding that I wanted". You have helped give us a family event that will always be remembered.

We simply cannot thank you enough for being our "rock" and our friend during all the planning and details of our wedding. You assured us at every point, so we knew we never had to be concerned about even the most minor detail. We hoped to find something for you in addition to the check in Italy, but believe it or not, that unique and amazing country simply didn't show us a treasure worth bringing home to you that could possible express our gratitude. You're amazing!!

Dear Julie,
Just a note to thank you again for all you did to make Laura and Jon's day even more special. You and all your staff could not have been more delightful to work with and we appreciate all you did on our behalf. On a apersonal note-we loved working with you, the ease and grace with which you did your job made us all more comfortable. All the best to you in the future.
Best Regards,
Ann VanDyke
Dear Julie,
Luis and I have returned froma fantastic honeymoon in Italy and are settling into a "normal" life. Last month seems like a wonderful whirlwind of events. It was bittersweet to see it all come to an end, but Luis and I are now enjoying the fun, newness, and excitement of learning to live as husband and wife. Marriage adds a certain sweetness even to everyday routines. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for helping me with my reception at VanLandingham. You were always so available, proffesional and enthusiastic. You really gave me a very low-sressed experience of planning a wedding. I will be happy happy to recommend VanLandingham to future brides. I will always remember your help and kindness during this important time. With warmest regards,
Carey Hagler Moreno
Ijust feel I need to properly thank you for all you did to make Kelly and Troy's wedding the perfect day. I had heard that you run a "tight ship" and I saw that first hand on Saturday. Your whole staff worked quickly and efficiently behind the scenes, always anticipating our needs. When you left I felt very good in Adam's capable care. I will never forget how quickly you always answered my emails (except for one – Ha!) and I'll never forget the genuine concerned in your face (and Savannah's) the day we came out to see the tent. I know you both would have done anything at that point to make things work. But in the end, Kelly got her dream wedding in exactly the location she wanted. We will never forget that day, nor will we forget you. Thank you from myself, Tom and Mr. and Mrs. Gallo!! p.s. Thanks also to Savannah for her sweet words to me the morning of the wedding. She will be a genuine asset to the VanLandingham.

Dear Julie,
Cliffand I cannot thank you enough for all your help with our rehearsal dinner. You and everyone at the Morehead Inn could not have been more fun to work with. The food and setting was absolutely perfect and we really appreciate all of your hard work and dedication. We will absolutely recommend the Morehead Inn to others and if we ever plan another dinner party, you will be our first call. Thank you again!
Katherine Coley
Just a note to thank you for all you did for us to make Carrie & Jason's wedding reception a wonderful day to remember. Family and friends had a great time and were so impressed by everything; the facility, the food, the professionalism of you and the Morehead Inn staff. We wouldn't change a thing. It was so special.
Thank you!
Vickie and Jerry Porter
Julie and staff,
Thank you for all your help in making Carmen's wedding day a success. Your professionalism made it seem like a piece of cake. Your help was invaluable. Even the weather held out for us. I can't thank you enough.

Dear Linda and Staff
We have returned from our short "vacation" to Charlotte and feel so revived! What a lovely setting the Inn provides for R and R and how pampered one feels as soon as one enters the home. From the continually lit fireplaces to the luxurious bedding, we felt as though we were guests in a fine English Manor. The breakfast was delicious and prepared with such loving detail and expertise! It carried us through the day until a late lunch on the way back to Statesboro. our maps, suggestions and information about the 4th Ward helped us to easily navigate an enjoyable morning in Uptown Charlotte. A very exceptional city and one we plan to visit again. Thank you again for your hospitality and we will have fond memories to sustain during the cold weeks ahead! We hope to see you again soon.
Steve and Debra Chester
Thank you Julie. I thought the whole evening was beautiful. It went by without a hitch, thanks to you and the wonderful staff at the VanLandingham. I really appreciate how thorough you were to the last detail. I felt more like a guest than a host. Emily and Vlad will have nothing but the fondest of memories. My family and friends had a wonderful time and they loved the ambiance of the VanLandingham. The vendors you recommended were fabulous. I can not think of one detail I would change. Best to you Julie and thank you again.

Hello Julie,
On behalf of UNC Charlotte, I would like to thank you and your staff for making the Meeting and Event Planning Class a wonderful experience for our attendees. Your attention to detail and customer service was clearly exceptional. We were delighted to have you give the group a tour of the Estate and walk us through the grounds. The food was fabulous and those brownies, as my students mentioned, "were the best they ever had!". We appreciate your hospitality and look forward to having events in the future at The VanLandingham Estate. Thank you again!

Just a quick note of thanks for our family's lovely luncheon Sun. From the minute we arrived in the beautiful courtyard with its inviting drink table til the last bite of crème brulee was scraped from the dish, everything was perfect. Y'all have hospitality down pat, and you provided a marvelous occasion for us. Please convey my appreciation to all your staff. Each one, the ones we saw and the ones behind the scenes, did a great job, and we just want to find an occasion to come again! Have a wonderful summer.
Dear Jack,
Words just can't express how amazing our wedding celebration was to us. Friends and family can't stop raving about how beautiful everything was. I think people always say this but I actually believe them! From the day that Mom and I met with you at the Morehead, we knew we had made the right decision.
You took care of us so wonderfully and any stress that I had completely went away when we walked down those beautiful stairs to such a perfect reception. It couldn't have been more perfectly executed - you and your staff were amazing and I so appreciate everything that y'all did to make our evening so wonderful.
I loved Jeff's idea of the Morehead keeping our cake topper and having us come back to the Inn for our first anniversary. You can go ahead and book us for that weekend because we'll certainly be back!
Thank you so much for everything. There will forever be a special place in my heart when you will always be.
J. Looney
Thanks so much for everything you did to help make our wedding so wonderful.. From your organized list of vendors & services to your responsiveness to every one of my requests -- our experience could not have been better. We had several guests comment that our wedding was one of the most beautiful they had ever been to.. that sure was a nice comment for something we planned in just a short 4 months..!!! We really appreciate all you and the staff of the Morehead did! Please pass my comments and appreciation on to Savannah as well - she was most helpful during our rehearsal and ceremony!!

Dear Jack,
We can't say enough about the way we were treated at the Morehead Inn. You, Nicole, Ebony, and the rest of the staff were so very helpful to us from start to finish. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. But it was everyone's attitude that struck us as amazing .... especially as the day had its share of unexpected situations and was not going smoothly before we got to the Morehead. Niclole took over at that point and from there we were treated so kindly that the day and evening became a delight.
Please tell all the staff, those we met and those we didn't get to see, that Ken and I, Andy and Jenny and our family and friends had a wonderful time thanks to them. We'd like to stop by to see you all one day just to say hello.
Best regards,
