Calgary High-End Prices
I travel frequently on business and for the last couple of years this has meant several trips a year to New York. This has given me a chance to try out some excellent restaurants and cafes in Manhattan and Brooklyn: from cheap ethnic restaurants in the East Village to some of the best (and most expensive) places around the city.
But after paying top dollar at some very nice restaurants in New York, I find myself constantly surprised when I get home at the prices charged by many Calgary restaurants: 15-20$ for appetizers, 40$ plus for a main course, never mind the desserts.... I would expect these prices at a place like Bouley, or...
Now I am willing to pay top dollar for an exceptional evening out in Calgary. And there are some top-class restaurants in Calgary that are worth every penny: Capo and River Cafe are both excellent, I love Divino, and we had a surprising evening a few weeks ago at Teatro, the first time I had been there in several years. There are other places in town that are as good as any I have found in New York: Fleur de Sel outclasses Les Halles for example, and some of the best Indian restaurants here are as good as I have found in NY so far.
But there are too many "good but not great" places in Calgary charging Manhattan-level prices. I know: oil boom, inflated real estate, hard to get staff, yaddah yaddah. Still there has to be a limit to the number of people who are willing to pay so much for a less than stellar experience.
Are there other people out there who are also put off by overly high prices in town? Are you seeing menu prices starting to come down (just like housing prices)?
re: sarah galvin
It often baffles me how much we pay for a good meal here. In so many parts of the world, you can eat well very reasonably. When I think that it costs me less to have dinner in Paris (!!!!), which is probably the culinary capital of the world, it is hard to rationalize the prices in Calgary.
We do continue to eat out, but we select pretty carefully. I agree that many restaurants do not live up to their price tag. If we are doing an occasion dinner, Il Sogno and Tribune always make us happy. But, if we just want a casual dinner for a reasonable price, it is pretty slim pickings...the best option in town in Sandros, and understandably, they are always packed. The biggest problem in this city is not high end dining - we've got plenty of that. We need non-chain, bistro-like establishments that serve good food at fair prices. IMHO, that is the biggest gap in the Calgary dining scene.
Housing prices aren't coming down, they're just not increasing as fast. We're stuck, people.
But housing is not remotely as high as NYC, and wages in Calgary are high- so we do have more disposable income than they do in NYC (or SF, or Vancouver), and aside from that I try to look at the bright side- I'm not surrouded by arrogant trust-fund hipsters, we have a better (much better) coffee scene than does NYC (or Montreal or Toronto), I can walk downtown, we have the best air quality of any major city in the world..
Yeah dining out can be pricey but I can afford it. LIfe isn't so bad, and try getting to Lake Louise from Manhattan.
re: John Manzo
Yeah, you're right, life is good. Maybe we were spoiled before. But I do agree, we have a hole in the market when it comes to cheap 'n cheery non-chain eateries.
re: sarah galvin
It's not just Calgary that has this "hole" of good mid-range places...it's probably 80% of N. America. Culturally, our overall appreciation for food is pretty low...we tend to prefer volume and marketing over real quality or value.
re: Libertycafe
I'm just looking forward to post-smoking-ban Germany.
re: John Manzo
John, I'll post this even though I know it will be removed as well, but all the indoor pubs and restaurants in Munich, Konstanz/Bodensee lake area, and Black Forest region are smoke-free.
And yes, I think quite a number of mid-range (quality-wise) Calgary restaurants are charging high prices for food that are not worth the price. But if there are people are willing to pay the dollars, then this is the situation we end up with. It's all very sad.
re: Libertycafe
I was in Deutschland in October (NOT for Oktoberfest! Nowhere near Bayern!) and heard about the smoking ban in Stuttgart (eg) and the one in Frankfurt was amazingly just as extensive as here, but Koeln was a NIGHTMARE, torture, and Berlin wasn't much better- that said the quality of food is just insanely good and yes it's depressing to get so much less value here... that said we get a lot more bang for the buck with housing vs Europe and you have to look on the bright side. Germans are emigrating to Canada like mad so there must be draws besides the food for them to move to, say, Steinbach MB.
Not saying I don't like Calgary but we really noticed restaurant prices when we had a steak dinner in Montreal that was SO much cheaper than it would have been here. The irony is that they were having an Alberta beef promotion.
Alley asks, "Still there has to be a limit to the number of people who are willing to pay so much for a less than stellar experience"
One thing I've found about Calgary is that there is actually nearly no limit to the amount of people who are willing to pay so much for something less than stellar (and I'm not just talking about food... have you stepped inside a furniture store recently? I've never seen such ugly pricey stuff). There's a sucker born every minute, but here, they come with a ridiculously large yearly income (I'm jealous).
It's supply and demand and John's right; Calgary has a very high supply of people with high wages/disposable income. Either that, or a much stronger willingness to extend their credit. I would venture a guess that on an average basis, our disposable income is much higher than that of a typical manhattanite or vancouverite, and certainly more than that of an ottawan or montrealer.
However, i think price comparisons to New York (or even Vancouver or Toronto) are almost unfair. Calgary has one-quarter the population of Vancouver, maybe 1/20 that of Manhattan. I would wager that the ratio of the populations to number of restaurants is similar, if not even of greater disparity. Manhattan and Vancouver are much bigger markets for restaurants with increased competition for consumer dollar, which i think is why you see so much more in the mid range in these larger centers. Restaurants aren't able to get away with charging as much as they can here, because the consumer has so much more to choose from.
A fairer comparison size-wise might be Ottawa. 5-10yrs ago, i probably would've argued that Ottawa-Hull beat out Calgary in every area food-wise, but i have to admit that Calgary's come a long way quite quickly. But Ottawa still has much more in the mid/low range than Calgary does, arguably because being mostly a civil servant/university town, people are pretty cheap.
Lastly, I think it's important to notice that we're pretty much a thousand kilometers from the nearest port/shipping hub and 600 Km from fresh fruit (at least. A lot more when okanagan stuff isn't in season). Sure, there some Alberta greenhouses, and nearby livestock farms and the like, but I'm sure most midrange restaurants aren't getting their tomatoes from artisanal producers like hotchkiss... and if they were, prices would be even higher... With gas prices going the way they're going, food costs (still a substantial chunk of restaurant prices) are only going to rise.
So... put off by high prices? not yet. As for seeing menu prices starting to come down? not likely...
re: marcopolo
I agree with every word you say, but have to correct you on the demographics- Calgary is about half (not one-quarter) the size of Vancouver (1.1 million in Calgary CMA vs 2.2 million in Vancouver CMA); we're about 1/18 the size of the NYC metro area, so one-twentieth is about right.
I think about the age of the city as well- when Montreal (as an oft-mentioned example of what we compare poorly with) was barely 100 years old it was riddled with typhoid and needless to say there was not much in the way of good restaurants! Calgary isn't just smaller than a lot of the cities that we are compared with; it's also more remote, as MP mentions, AND it is YOUNG. I'd go so far as to say that it's downright miraculous that this city is as urbane as it is- we could be Phoenix, but we're not Phoenix. Just look at downtown employment stats and mass transit usage stats for Calgary- we have the 6th-highest rate of transit usage in North America; the only American city that beats us is NYC (which is tops in NA, but then come five Canadian cities)... Dallas, a city that we're often compared to, has 10% (yes, one-tenth- 16% in Calgary versus 1.6% in Dallas) transit usage that we do.
Of course none of this has to do with restos :-)
The prices in this town can be atrocious, especially paired with bad food and bad service. Alloy is well priced, nice room, but the food isn't fabulous. Much nicer than Tangerine and Seven, which are severely over priced with terrible food. Divino's is always good value, as well as Blink, next door. You're paying more for Belvedere but it has a nice lounge.
I went for dinner in New York at Daniel and spent as much on a world class meal as I have spent on an average meal in Calgary! Maybe Daniel should open a restaurant in Calgary! I agree, Les Halles was definately NOT good. Have you been to Union Square Cafe in NY? Probably one of the best restaurants in the city.
re: doramicat
And Chinatown is cheaper than the rest of downtown for asian food too! One of the mediocre Vietnamese joints on 7th Ave (not exactly high rent), charges $10 for a rather poor bowl of pho. At least you can get good pho in Chinatown for $7.
The expense account issue is obvious I think. As a summer student for a big petroleum company I have been fascinated by the amount and cost of lunches I've been to. Private room at the Chicago Chophouse ordering a la carte for 45 people? No problem. Expense account.
Another reason for the price hikes is so many people downtown eat lunch on the company expense account. When you go into some places you can tell these people aren't paying for their own meal.
I don't like the high prices for sub-par good food either; I'll pay if it's good, my logic being that if something is really exceptional at least I didn't have to get on a plane to get it :)
There are a few other things which contribute to the high prices - labour costs, and transportation costs. As Bourdain says/implies - I don't think NYC kitchens would last for five seconds if everyone who was an illegal alien was forced to leave. (yikes!) Calgary kitchens can't compete as there isn't cheap labour in the same way. If you've ever watched american home-flipper shows you'll sadly know what I mean.
Plus, since the demand here is less with fewer people overall, those who are importing food (let's face it nearly everything is imported), have to charge more since they are bringing in smaller amounts, and might not be able to sell it all regardless.
I think many restaurants also feel they need to legitimize what they do by creating beautiful interiors, use expensive linens, place settings etc., so the cost per plate has to be more. Perfect example - Olives vs. Il Centro.
Also let's not forget that downtown real estate is second only to NYC in terms of cost for leasing in north america (TO is second)...that combined with the cost of labour in this city needs to be passed on to consumers in order for the restaurants to stay in business. This of course does not excuse bad food, or poor service - but is an explaination for the high prices on menus. (FYI - the suburban area is ranked 6th most expensive in Canada)
I completely agree with the above sentiment. I also was in NYC a few weeks ago, and I couldn't believe that I could eat a meal at Babbo, which was truly one of the best meals of my life, for a price far below a meal at EArl's. Come on now; Babbo below Earl's. I largely refuse to eat at the "top-class" restaurants here, with the exception of a few select places which I believe still provide quality good, such as Mercato, but the prices are still way too high. This city is desperate for variety, and good quality restaurants with great ambiance, that do not cost a fortune to dine at.
I think we can make a difference by choosing not to eat in places which are charging exhorbitant prices, and support restaurants which are attempting to provide quality food and reasonable prices. But, I would love to know where those places are.
re: cowtownfoodie
i don't know if we can do much by choosing not to eat in over priced restaurants - the oil and gas guys on expense accounts don't care what they spend and they are filling places like Belgo everyday which is one of the most overpriced for poor quality and service around downtown.
i was in NYC in the fall and although we spent more money on food than any previous vacation, it was not near as much as we would have spent eating out in calgary or vancouver and we ate well in NYC.
as a commercial designer, and one that does design the odd restaurant, I don't want to see the spaces go down hill, the interiors are a major part of the experience.
re: AriaDream
hmmm, construction projects being halted, high gas prices, bank and financial industry losses....hey high-priced Calgary restaurants take this as a wakeup call. Economic slowdowns are inevitable. History always repeats itself. Expense accounts will be pulled back and the good times will retreat. Don't take your customers or the boomtime for granted. You still hear people say not to worry as the economy is different this time. History does repeat itself.

First off, I'd like to point out that this review is purely based on my own personal experiences and are entirely my own opinion. You are under no obligation to purchase anything.
Venus Factor is a workout program designed and developed exclusively for women, and I'm going to discuss the possibility of a Venus Factor scam. Though the basic purpose of the program is to help women lose weight and get it shape, the Venus Factor aims to go beyond that. The overall goal is to give every woman the feminine, sexy look she desires but is unable to achieve. As a result, you not only get slim and smart but your curves also come into the right proportions. You cannot ask for much more than that from a workout program. But, does Venus Factor work and does it work for every woman?
The program is based on a nutrition-and-exercise regimen women are to follow when they sign up for the Venus Factor. There is a 12-week Undulating Metabolic Override Nutrition Protocol with an exercise module. Over the course of 12 weeks, you are to follow the dietary and nutritional guidelines as provided by the program. You also have to follow the exercise regimen, working out three times a week. As long as you follow the program to the letter, there is little doubt that it works.
To give you a better idea of whether this program is effective or not, here are the pros and cons of the Venus Factor:
- Venus Factor is a comprehensive and wholesome workout program that covers all bases, including nutrition. As a result, women are able to enjoy healthy and safe weight loss.
- The program is quite simple to follow. The instructions are laid out in a clear and concise manner. You shouldn't have any trouble understanding what you have to do at any given point in the program.
- Many women have been successful at losing weight and achieving the look of their dreams by following the Venus Factor. You will find countless authentic 'success stories' online.
- The program is designed for women. Therefore, it takes into account the specific needs of women when it comes to nutrition and exercise. Most workout programs have been guilty of getting women to follow instructions better suited for men.
- Venus Factor offers topnotch customer support. Any question or complaint you have will be addressed and responded to in a matter of minutes.
- The fact that this program is designed for women is a drawback as well. Men cannot use and lose weight through this. However, the author of the Venus Factor, John Barban, has designed a separate program for men based on the same principles, which is known as the Adonis Golden Ratio.
- This program is not for women looking for overnight weight loss success. You need to put in considerable effort and make a commitment to complete this program to see the results it promises to deliver. It will also require you to change your lifestyle to some extent.
- You might have to spend a few extra dollars on buying exercise equipment and special food as prescribed in the nutrition plan.
- The sales process does come across as very flashy and hyped-up.
What Makes the Venus Factor a Bit Different?
- Most workout routines either promote the use of supplements, intense workouts or a strict diet. Venus Factor is unlike any other workout regime, which is one of the reasons for its success. Its prime focus is on nutrition and a program which includes extensive exercises.
- The exercises in Venus Factor will not just slim you down. They define your body to the correct proportions. Slimming can be done through any workout routine. But achieving a subtle physique is something Venus Factor focuses on.
- Never before has a program as such been introduced only for women. Most workout routines are designed for both women and men. Therefore, some aspects of a routine are extremely difficult for women. Venus Factor is designed especially for women. It makes sure that women work hard to lose weight and get in shape, but it doesn't induce extreme stress like unisex workouts do.
- Should you have any questions or confusions regarding the program, the Venus Factor customer support staff will gladly help you. This is something not all workout programs offer. Venus Factor stands by its promise to help you achieve the body you have always dreamed of.
Continue to the Official Website…
There is no doubt that the Venus Factor has proven to be quite effective for many women, and it did shed some unwanted pounds from myself (if you stick to it of course). Now that you know the pros and cons, decide for yourself whether or not you want to use it. Have you already used it? Or just have any comments? Let me know below.

Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961, dir. Blake Edwards)
"The ragbag colors of her boy's hair, tawny streaks, strands of albino-blonde and yellow, caught the hall light. It was a warm evening, nearly summer, and she wore a slim cool black dress, black sandals, a pearl choker. For all her chic thinness, she had an almost breakfast-cereal air of health, a soap and lemon cleanliness, a rough pink darkening the cheeks. Her mouth was large, her nose upturned. A pair of dark glasses blotted out her eyes. It was a face beyond childhood, yet this side of belonging to a woman. I thought her anywhere between sixteen and thirty."
-Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958)

HoopsHype Rodney Stuckey rumors
Billups was the perfect mentor for a young point guard, and the perfect leader for any team. So when Billups was traded to Denver for Allen Iverson one week into the 2008-09 season, Stuckey suffered for it. "Once Chauncey was traded, everything went downhill from there," Stuckey said. "Chauncey was the glue who held everything together. Once he was traded, it was a domino effect. One thing after another. Something happened, then this happened, that happened. So it was tough, you know? "You go from this guy who's been an All-Star and Finals MVP to a guy like Allen Iverson who's a completely different type of player. Chauncey was the leader, the role model. Allen Iverson was a scorer, a guy who just gets buckets. He can give you 40 if you want him to. And then you have Rip (Hamilton) on the other side that you need to get the ball to and you can't forget about Tayshaun (Prince). It was a tough situation. It was a lot that was thrown at one person at one time. I was just trying to figure stuff out. But it happened the way it happened. You learn from each experience." NBA.com
"I don't like losing," he said. "Sometimes in Detroit, we'd be close in a game and be losing and people would be OK with it because it was a close game and we played hard. But we still lost. I don't accept that. I want to win. That's where a lot of the conflict came from. I'm a competitor, man. I don't like losing. I don't come out here just to get a sweat and lose and be happy. That's not me. I try to compete each and every night and let the chips fall." NBA.com
He made it official by signing a one-year deal Monday morning for $1,227,985, the veteran's minimum (for a player with seven years of experience). What Stuckey brings is a fresh mindset as he looks to jumpstart his career. "I've been in Detroit for sevens years, a lot of ups and downs, a lot of different situations, a lot of different coaches – six in seven years," he said. "But you live and learn, you grow from every situation. I just want to thank Detroit for giving me that opportunity to make my NBA dreams come true by drafting me. It's a fresh start, and I'm excited for it." Vigilant Sports
He is spending much of his offseason back home in Covington, Washington. He acquired the keys to his high school gym, Kentwood, and has been going through two workouts a day. He's eager to talk with his new teammates for the first time and get to work. "I know I'm not going to have a problem fitting in with these guys," said Stuckey. "I'm very humble, I'm laid back, I'm very respectful, and I think we're all going to get along with each other very well. "I got to come in and everyone's respect first and foremost, and just fit in. I'm not trying to come in and try to doing nothing out of the ordinary. I'm just trying to come in, be level-headed, learn from these guys, just play hard with them and compete with them." Vigilant Sports
The Indiana Pacers announced Monday they have signed free agent Rodney Stuckey. Per team policy, terms of the contract were not released. "Rodney is a very talented player who can create and score in a variety of ways," said Pacers President of Basketball Operations Larry Bird. "We're very happy to get a player with his experience and who has made it very clear of his desire to win." NBA.com

Sam Amick: Programming note for free agency in July: Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey is now with agent Paolo Zamorano. Left CAA/Leon Rose a while back. Twitter @sam_amick
The trade deadline is 3 p.m. Thursday, less than 24 hours after the Charlotte back-to-back. The Pistons have several potential trade pieces with Rodney Stuckey and Charlie Villanueva approaching unrestricted free agency, and Greg Monroe restricted free agency this summer. They have rebuffed Monroe talks and need Stuckey for the stretch. Villanueva could have value if the Pistons are willing to take on a longer-term contract. It's more likely that the Pistons don't make a major deal and Loyer said he made it clear that the postseason objective remains unchanged during his first meeting with the team after replacing Cheeks last weekend.

We've already had plenty of Lawrence Frank/Mike Woodson discussion today, and according to Perry Farrell of the Detroit Free Press, those two are definitely the finalists for the head coaching job. In fact, he reports that one could be offered a contract soon:
Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars was expected to meet with owner Tom Gores — and Gores' Platinum Equity partners Phil Norment and Bob Wentworth — to make his recommendation. It is not clear whether the meeting has occurred. A final decision could come later this week or next week.
Frank and Woodson both have interviewed with Dumars. Woodson also had a two-hour interview with Norment and Wentworth. It is not known whether Frank had a second interview.
Farrell also talked to former NBA player (and former Detroit Southwestern star) Howard Eisley, an assistant coach with the Clippers, who has worked with Frank. Eisley told Farrell that Frank "has an excellent reputation across the league and is considered a good coach." Woodson, meanwhile, is the only candidate who (as far as we know) got more than one interview. It will be interesting to see which direction the Pistons go and, despite the slowness of the process, at least they seem to be moving in a direction now.

Although most of the golf fans I talk to, love these match play events such as The WGC-Accenture Match Play that is underway at The Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain Resort, but the PGA, and Television Networks don't. I know, I for one, would love to see more of them, but I don't think it will ever happen.
What you need to understand, is the hardcore golf fans like myself will watch no matter who is playing. We watch because we love golf, and know who the good players are, the casual fans, don't. Like any other sport, popular athletes drive the market as well as the Television ratings, and the person who moves the needle in the US, and around the world is Tiger Woods. Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson, Phil Mickelson, and as of late, Brandt Snedeker.
As of Friday morning, only Bubba is still at Dove Mountain. Snedeker and Mickelson didn't play in this tournament for various reasons, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy have already made their way to Florida. Both number one seeds, and both losing to 16 seeds. All that remain are people who are very good golfers that no one knows.
Many of the top names that are on a level just below Tiger and Rory that could have helped here are Dustin and Zack Johnson, Jason Dufner, Adam Scott, and Keegan Bradley. They were all beaten, and will not be around for the weekend. Luke Donald, Ian Poulter, and Louis Oosthuizen will all be around for round two. These players are known, but are not enough to draw the casual golf fan to the television, and compel them to watch. These people are off to NASCAR, NBA match-ups, and preparations for the NCAA tournament which is just around the corner.
Both The Ryder Cup, and Presidents Cup are able to survive this format because the popular players are not eliminated on a daily basis, and compete as a team until the end. They are kind of a hybrid event that is match play without players being eliminated.
We can't have it both ways. If we want the drama of win or go home like the remainder of our sporting events, then we have to live with the fallout. I personally like the format, and wish there were more of them on the schedule. Then again, I love golf, and am not a fickle sports fan.
The thing that could solve this problem would be Professional golf consolidating the various tours around the world into one governing body. The folks here would get a chance to become more familiar with European stars on a weekly basis. This is a double edge sword however. The LPGA has pretty much gone to a world tour, and has lost the American audience due to the shortage of American players at the top. The LPGA is driven by the Asian market, and has dropped in popularity here in the states.
If Michelle Wie could get her game together, she could move the needle back toward home, but she continues to struggle, and there is no other name that can drive the US market at this time.

as expected, this current event really kicked me right in the gut. after several months of inducing myself with crazy, immature, unsophisticated and downright stupid decisions, i really felt so damn cloddish.
i was right on track of picking myself up, of fixing everything that went wrong, rebooting and auto correcting the shortcomings. but then, there was something that urged me to try and see, to feel and understand the wrong side of things, of doing the what ifs that have been plaguing me.. i tasted it, embraced and got addicted to it….the temporary high always got me in my weakest and as i said i got addicted that i always said yes….i felt like a sixteen year old all of a sudden..not thinking about tomorrow, of what'll happen after..enjoying everything that life has to offer. as they say, act your age and what do people expect from a 23 year old girl…?(obviously not a woman) they expect you to be more open, understanding, mature and the worse part, loving figures and welcoming the system. i just got tired of always saying to myself its ok and spreading the goodness of things. i say when you really feel the bad side, the one that'll really hit you, you'll think twice of everything you did, even the things that made people remember you.

Disk Boot Failure after blue screen
Over summer I built myself a new PC with the following spec:
i7 2600K 3.4GHz
16GB DDR3G-Skill RAM
OCZ 120GB Vertex 3 SSD
Gigabyte Z68A MOBO
I also have 2 old hard drives acting as general storage and for programs that I don't want on the SSD.
However, probably within a few days of having set everything up (which all started fine), I started to have a problem.
Sporadically, the computer will crash, reboot and then display a disk boot failure error. Initially I panicked and tried to reboot from the Windows CD etc. For some reason I had a fiddle inside, particularly with the SATA connection to the SSD. When I rebooted, it worked fine.
This has been going on now for months.
I've rung ebuyer and said to them, but they have no idea what the problem is. I'm hesitant to send it back to be replaced under warranty due to the disruption it will inevitably cause (I'm a secondary school teacher and so rely on having my computer).
I hadn't actually had a problem for a few weeks until about a week ago. Now it blue screens and then dies.
I did get a message saying, upon reboot one time that the CPU had been overclocked (which it has, but only to 3.9GHz). Another reboot saw this message go away...
Does anyone have any ideas as to what this could be?
It's perhaps also worth mentioning that sometimes the HDDs seem to go to 'sleep' i.e. if I'm using iTunes, and I click to play a song, there will be a lag. This can happen after having not used the computer for a while, but it can also happen in the middle of using it.
I've run various disc check programs, all of which have said that all the drives are healthy.
|My System Specs
|09 Nov 2011
For the Disk Boot Failure message you should check out the diagnostics and tests mentioned here: SSD Tweaking and Diagnostics Tools
For the CPU overclock message, that means your overclock is not stable. Tone it down, or reset BIOS defaults. As long as you are getting bluescreens you should not be overclocking at all. Reset the standard settings and determine if the problem is still there. If it is then deal with the hard drive and resolve it. After the system is running correctly, then play with overclocking.
|My System Specs
|10 Nov 2011
Does your OCZ SSD run the latest firmware? Seems these drives are kind of notorious for being crashy with outdated firmware.
|My System Specs
|10 Nov 2011
I've just checked and I don't have the latest firmware. However, it recommends not updating if the SSD is the boot disk which mine is. Can anyone shed any light on this?
|My System Specs
|10 Nov 2011
Windows 7 Pro x64 -- PCLinuxOS KDE4 FullMonty 2011
When it happens again do as mentioned above & check the boot order in the bios. Sounds like it changed itself. Happens to me when I get similar error messages.
As for the SSD. At the moment it all seems to hang on chance. If I had know the issues these things have I would have waited getting one.
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2011
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
This is happening to me too
with my corsair Force 3 SDD
I have to change boot order in Bios every time it happens or it wont boot.
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2011
A couple of things I have read regarding SSDs and the changing boot order issue:
First things to check is:
SSDs and SATA3 are still relatively new tech. It often occurs to me that the industry is still working out the bugs and the consumers are the beta testers.
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2011
Window 7 Home Premium 64-bit
OCZ 120GB Vertex 3 SSD ... I'm looking at reviews on Newegg.com and although it rates 4 out of 5 stars overall, 23% gave it only 1 star, meaning there is a very high failure or high dissatisfaction rate on this drive.
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2011
The OCZ forums are a great resource to deal with issues like this: Vertex3, Agility3, Solid3 and Synapse caching drive support and discussion forum
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2011
Windows 7 Ultimate x64, & Mac OS X 10.9.2
There was a know issue with the first few batches of the ocz drives.
The driver was to fault. Apparently the SSD was reading data faster than the driver could process causing things to hang.
The recent driver update has eliminated that issue by slowing down the drive a very small amount. (Talking less then 50 mega bits per second).
The OCZ website has a list of effected drives which can be identified by their serial number.
I run my corsair force 3 off my non intel 6gbps SATA socket and its been flawless. Not sure on the cable quality, it came with my ASUS mobo.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step.
Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger.
Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.
Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.
Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.
In Jackson, Mississippi, in 1962, there are lines that are not crossed. With the civil rights movement exploding all around them, three women start a movement of their own, forever changing a town and the way women--black and white, mothers and daughters--view one another.

Three-foot snow banks channeled the silent steady current of the upper Yellowstone River as I paddled my pack raft through the many meanders into Yellowstone Meadows. I rounded a bend, and found myself locking eyes with a majestic wolf on the bank 30 feet away. There was nothing remarkable a…
Gazette opinion: Congress tries micromanaging Yellowstone, Grand Teton
Last spring Yellowstone National Park didn't have enough money to plow entrance roads open on its usual schedule. In recent years, the park has left firefighting, administrative and other jobs open to save costs. Nobody who has driven through the park thinks it spends enough on road maintenance.
Guest opinion: Some parts of wild parks shouldn't be paddled
Wyoming Rep. Cynthia Lummis introduced a bill in Congress to expand paddle sports in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. The bill, which passed the House, would require the Park Service to open many more waterways to recreational boating. Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso may soon introduce…
Bill targeting environmental groups seeking public money passes U.S. House committee
A bill passed out of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee that Rep. Cynthia Lummis hopes will shed light on reimbursements of public funds environmental groups receive when they sue the federal government.
House committee OKs bill lifting ban on watercraft in Yellowstone, Grand Teton
A U.S. House committee on Tuesday unanimously passed a measure that would lift longstanding restrictions on canoes, rafts and other "hand-propelled" vessels in rivers and streams in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks.
Gazette opinion: Modest, but smart start on bipartisan action
This fall, partisan gridlock shut down much of the federal government for two long weeks, denied the public services, delayed pay checks to millions of public servants, deprived private businesses and their employees of work and customers, and left U.S. taxpayers with a big bill for nothing.
Teton County seeks parcel under federal courthouse
JACKSON, Wyo. — Teton County is seeking help from Wyoming's congressional delegation to recover land in downtown Jackson that the county gave the federal government for a now-unwanted courthouse.
Bill would remove ban on river paddling in Yellowstone
A new bill introduced by U.S. Rep. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., would nullify longstanding federal regulations that prohibit hand-propelled boating on rivers and streams in Yellowstone National Park and on some waters not currently open in Grand Teton National Park.

The Missouri DOT(MoDOT) added a splash of color to numerous state landmarks in an effort to remind motorists to use caution in highway work zones. Water in Kiener Plaza's fountain, in the shadow of the famous Arch in downtown St. Louis, was dyed orange. Also, the four columns in front of MoDOT Headquarters in Jefferson City were lit to honor the four state highway workers killed in 2006.
The event marked the start of the first construction season since the state's August 2006 enactment of tougher penalties for reckless driving through work zones.

Gut Rumblings: Saying Goodbye to a Friend
Source: bigbenpreds
This is by far, the hardest thing I have EVER had to write, and something I never ever could want to write. Yesterday, the Hockey world lost one of it's best ambassadors. Wade Belak, the tough guy who knocked out Donald Brashear, the same Wade Belak that would bend down on knees and high five…
On July 3rd we celebrated being engaged for one year. Incidentally we were staying at the same Bed & Breakfast where it took place, as this is a yearly tradition in my family. I can't believe how quickly the engagement has gone so far. We've gotten a lot done, and still have a long ways to go. I honestly don't understand how people plan a wedding in under a year. We have enjoyed the process, and have not experienced any stress in the planning.
So where are we?
Since the last post, we finally…

"I knew I should have Trademarked Flashing at NHL Games"
I've never been a health nut, or been overly obsessed with what I eat, but 4 years ago I made the first big step in correcting the direction of my health: quitting soda. I used to drink 2-3 sodas (or pops, like we said in the north) PER DAY, and felt I couldn't function without one. When I finally had enough, I quit cold turkey and switched to water. The effects weren't gradual, they were immediate. In 3 weeks I lost 10 pounds, SOLELY from eliminating soda from my diet.
The next big step wouldn't come until just one week ago, when we decided to start P90x. Aside from quitting soda and the occasional half-assed workout, I didn't do much else to get healthier. It's hard! Our generation was raised on McDonald's and other greasy, fast foods. To break that trend seems to be near impossible, as healthy food takes more time to prepare & is usually way more expensive. It takes a lot to turn around the way in which you eat; it is a lifestyle change.
Just one week in to the intense workout program, I am already feeling the positive effects on my body (minus the pain my muscles have been in this whole time… but it's a good pain). The workouts are already getting easier to do than they were on the first few days. The key is to pace yourself (which they told us, but we didn't believe them). We aren't going as extreme as to follow the P90x diet plan, but simply working out and getting into shape changes the way you think about what you are putting into your body, and suddenly without trying, you WANT to eat better.
I've already found several healthy recipes I want to try, and instead of getting my "usual" at certain restaurants, I find myself reading their entire menu including the sections I usually skip over, to try something a little healthier. However I still firmly believe that you should allow yourself to indulge every once in a while to reward yourself and to stay on track (read: I will not give up some of my favorite foods, because I don't want to die miserable).
I used to think I could never do P90x, because my endurance is terrible and I don't exactly enjoy working out. But honestly, if I can do it… you can, too. Everyone has the ability to get healthier, it all just comes down to how much effort we are willing to put in. Our bodies crave good foods and exercise. This program is seriously fun, and your body will thank you for it.
(I would also like to add that Frank and I have each lost 2 pounds in this first week!)

The past 5 days have been the most emotionally-draining I've experienced in a long time. Never in a million years would I imagine these two pieces of my life to be intertwined into one post, but here we are.
Wednesday evening I found out that my grandmother of 91 years passed away. I took comfort in knowing she led a long and happy life, and was truly blessed in many ways. However, it still hurts, no matter how much you prepare for it. The remainder of the evening I spent reflecting on the good times spent with her, and booked my flights to pay her my final respects.
The next night we had tickets to Game 4 of the Predators/Canucks round 2 Playoff series. The Canucks led the series 2-1, but we were sure to win that next game at home, sending it back to Vancouver tied at 2 a piece. So you can imagine the collective heartbreak when we failed to win either home game, and putting ourselves in the position to be eliminated. As the final moments of the game ticked down, I started to cry. The emotions that I tried to keep at bay after my grandmother's death were now bubbling to the surface. I barely spoke the rest of the night.
I left for Cleveland the next morning and got to see family that I hadn't seen since last July. Finally getting to meet my cousin's baby put the biggest smile on my face. Through the tears and sadness of losing my last grandparent, I was reminded that life goes on. Through the bright sparkling eyes of this precious 8-month old baby, we were all shown the beauty of life during a dark and difficult time. The funeral was very simple and to-the-point, as in true grandmother fashion she didn't want anyone to make a big fuss over it, or have to go out of their way. After a wonderful afternoon spent with the family catching up, we had to say our goodbyes already, as most of us had to leave early the next morning.
That night the Predators were playing Game 5, facing elimination, and I had to find a way to watch the game. I hunkered down at a nearby Buffalo Wild Wings in Lyndhurst Ohio, all alone without my close friends, to watch what was hopefully not their last game this season. Luckily we ended up winning, and I celebrated silently to myself alone in a strange town.
Fast-forward to Monday night, Game 6. Still facing elimination. It could be our last game all season, or we could send it back to Vancouver for Game 7, and possibly even make it into the 3rd round. But in the end, we just couldn't pull through. The evening was bittersweet. Our beloved Preds ended their longest playoff run in franchise history, leaving behind droves of fans who hold this team closer to their hearts than ever before. As the final seconds counted down, instead of filing out of the arena in disappointment like so many years' past, the Predators fans got to their feet, waved their rally towels, and cheered for our boys. As the players made their way down the losing side of the traditional handshake line, the arena filled with a chant: "Let's go Predators!"
The players raised their sticks to us one last time, and my eyes welled up. This time it was not sorrow & disappointment, but pride. Pride in a team that was underestimated, undervalued, and mislabeled all year. Pride in the youngest team left in the playoffs, who exceeded everyone's expectations and inspired their fanbase. Pride in a team that arguably exhibited the most heart of any team I have ever seen. Pride in this city, whose players and fans are but one family.
It's not just about hockey. This year I made new friends. Close friends. This tight-knit group that Frank and I found our way into was more of a family than anything else.
Life is a series of cycles. One season ends, and another begins, but it always goes on. We have highs and we have lows, but if we're very lucky, we meet amazing people along the way that we will never forget. LIFE goes on.

Bahasa Malaysia
How abt Bahasa Malaysia?
Im currently using bahasa indonesia for the app, but the some of the words are not matched. This makes my typing a bit slow. Please add bahasa malaysia in the list. Pleaseeeeeeee
I'd like to see my mother-tongue language is available on Swiftkey
Please develop malay language for future update
I need bahasa melayu support included in the language as it is the major language in Malaysia
I need to have Bahasa Melayu or Malaysia Language. I always type in English and malay together at the same time. It's called Singlish
Would love to have it for us Malaysians. I guess Indonesia being a large market, there is more use of Bahasa Indonesia. However, many users in Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei use Bahasa Melayu as their primary language. Please do look into adding this language.
Thank you.
How long do we have to wait until Malay language (Bahasa Malaysia) is added?
Malaysia dictionary quite different compared to Indonesia language I have a alot of fern that will be interested to use SwiftKey keyboard if malaysia dictionary is added. Change questions mark position. The share with alphabet x. Put exclamation mark on c and opt to hide voice input button By doing that we can have bigger space bar button
This app dont have bahasa malaysia languages.
It would be great if Bahasa Melayu language support is added. It is similar to Bahasa Indonesia with different spelling, like "percobaan" is "percubaan" and etc.
I have a list of words which can be used to build it up from.
Malay is now available to all SwiftKey 3 customers. Please update to the most recent version of SwiftKey 3. Then, go to SwiftKey 3 Settings > Languages & Layouts. If the language is not shown in the list of 'Available Languages' click on Menu and then on 'Update Languages'.

I had a weird dream last night about my dad. And from what I can remember that is the first time I've dreamt about him. When I was searching for him months ago I don't even think I dreamt of him then so this just came out of the blue. Needless to say I woke up in a weird mood and he is every thought I've had since waking. I opened up his picture on the internet (his mug shot, the only picture I've ever seen of him, the only way I even know what he looks like which I finally found over a year ago) and just starred at it. I then started searching more and more and came up with the same answers as I had before. This time I actually went to google maps and looked up the county's that he was arrested in and at one point he was so close to my older sister and my best friend. To know that he was that close to something that is a part of me made me shake my head. Why I was shaking my head? Maybe disappointment idk. I also found my mother's information when she was in trouble in Kansas around the same time that he was before I was born. Her crime,… forgery. I told my boyfriend about this and I'm not sure if he was joking or what but he said, "Well then you'll never find her." "Why?" "Because people like that can change their names," and blah blah blah. It pointed out something. I've considered this option before it makes sense. At least my mother was around for moment though but this man never was and if I never see her again I at least want to be able to talk to him. I'm always a couple years behind them and their criminal records though. So I'm making it a point to check into both of them every couple of months so maybe I will catch up to one of them one day hopefully it's not just to lead me to their grave.
I've never been bitter towards my dad as I have been towards my mother. I wasn't one of those kids that questioned my mother where my dad was constantly and why he didn't love me at least not from what I remember. I had asked several questions over the years and fortunately I remember facts well enough that I remembered everything she told me perfectly and those minor details led me to how much I know about him now leading me to even find his charges. The smartest thing I think I've ever done was search the Kansas records thank God for the internet and that is exactly how I even know what he looks like. The funny thing is my dad didn't look much like his mug shot in my dream though he did act like I expect him to. At the end of the dream S.W.A.T was everywhere and based on his criminal history (the only thing I know about this man) that seems pretty likely lol. And I'm sure anyone who reads this is like, "Wow why would you want to know someone like that?" Well, basically I have tried to fool myself all my life saying things like, "If my mom and my dad raised me I would probably be just like them so I'm better off." Truth is I still look up to them. My mom told me about simple stories about how he would rob stores and scare off whoever fucked with him.
The most infamous of them all were when he went to a store and went to the back to get a microwave and brought it up to the front and said that he wanted to return it. Needless to say he got the money for it. Another would be that he was not a tall or really scary looking man and my mom told him that she didn't want any weapons in the house. Well, she pulled up to the house and saw some big ass motherfuckers one of them with a bat or something like that at their door so she stayed in the car and waited. Just moments after they entered our apartment (I was a baby at the time with my mom in the car) they exited in a hurry and looked pretty scared. I have a few more like that and I just get a smile on my face when I think about them, they're all I have from him and all I can think of is, "Wow, my dad was a major badass!" Regardless though he was/is my dad and no matter what type of person he is I would still like to meet him. A few years ago my friend was fighting with her dad and she told me how much she hated him and I'm just like, "At least you know him well enough to know that you hate him." I just wish I could meet mine. All attempts to get a hold of him have failed because I started my search too late and I just barely missed him. The last thing he ever has on any of the files I've read was an address from 2008. I sent a letter to it last year only for it to get sent back because he didn't live there anymore so now all I have to do is wait and be patient. Maybe I should throw in the towel for that part of his life because he did have a lot of aliases and maybe I should start at another name that is listed. And there are so many people out there with the same name it's ridiculous. The funny/fucked up part is I get so many things when I search for him but my mom barely left a trail to her. There is no mistaking her name and the last thing I've found for her was from 2010, she could be anywhere and anyone now! I love how my parents are the two most unable to be found people in the world. Bin Laden had nothing on them then again not a whole country is looking for them either but still lol.
