Sent back entree, meager comp
- SweetPea Dec 1, 2007 05:35 AM
I have never done this before. But last night I did have occasion to refuse a red snapper dish as the fish was past it's prime. I asked for it to be removed from the bill. They said they ould only discount 15% because some of it had been consumed. I had one bite, brother had two bites and it was deemed icky at that point. OK, now how are you supposed to evaluate a dish unless you taste it? When discussing the "discount", waitress says that they are eating the same fish (was it ours?) in the back and it was fine. Was I unreasonable in wanting the whole dish comped?
wow. there are so many layers of wrongness here. they served you bad fish, then charged you for the bites you ate which was how you determined the fish was bad, THEN came back and admitted that the staff was eating off the plate you were just eating off of (eww!) saying they thought it was fine just to prove you wrong? this is a example of how NOT to run a restaurant.
in all my time as a bartender and server i have never heard of a dish being discounted. it's either whisked away and remade or taken off the bill entirely. sometimes we would do both depending on the situation (this would be one of those situations). please tell me you didn't actually pay for a dish you didn't eat! and i hope you spoke to a manager!
as a side note, i have a BIG problem with servers "sea gulling", i.e. eating off a guests unfinished plate. it's gross, unprofessional, and worthy of getting fired.
re: SweetPea
When I saw the title of your post I thought "Here's another one of the posters on this board wanting something for nothing!" It seems there are many who post here who are always looking for something for nothing or more than what they paid for and it gets old reading these moochers' posts. However, when I read your post I couldn't believe it. I have also never heard of "discounting" bad fish. And management wouldn't speak with you? You're not going back to this place are you? I would write management there and tell them why I was not coming back. (And it wouldn't be for the purpose of getting something for free!)
re: SweetPea
This is just awful! I can't believe a restaurant would discount bad food instead of removing it from the bill. The moment you complained the food should have disappeared (and NOT fed to waitstaff in the back room!!) and been replaced with something that wasn't too old to serve.
I'm still shaking my head. Discounting a disputed item instead of removing it instantly. Yikes!
re: rebs
Yes, that--re the servers eating off the plate, rebs, but when I read what the restaurant representative told SweetPea--i.e., they could only discount it fifteen percent because part of it had been consumed--I thought they must be confusing it with some sort of bulk purchase.
As though SweetPea had bought a palette of bricks to finish a patio edging, discovered she didn't need them all, and received a partial credit from the supplier, since he can resell the bricks.
I hope no unwitting patron ordered a bowl of red snapper chowder at that place the next day. ;-D
"Comp" isn't the right word--that's something edible given to you free, whether you choose to consume it or not. What you describe wasn't edible.
"I'm so sorry. Would you like us to remake this for you, or did you want to try something else?" Any other response to a complaint like yours means you don't return (and out the restaurant by name on the appropriate geographical board here on CH).

Posted on South Board. Thialand Restaurant Columbia, SC
re: SweetPea
If it was a Thai restaurant, maybe there as a lot of fish sauce or shrimp paste in the dish that made it taste funky, not necessarily the fish being old. Have you enjoyed the food there before?
Regardless, their response was inappropriate.
re: babette feasts
Good point, but both of us felt the same about the fish. We have enjoyed food there before, but that has come to an abrupt end.
re: tubman
I had a smoked meat and fries platter at Pickle Barrel (Yorkdake Shopping Plaza, Toronto). The meat was cold. The cook must have dropped the (open) salt box on the fries. The waitress offered to have the meat warmed up and a fresh batch of fries. I had already been waiting for 20 minutes, so I said 'No, Thank you'' -- No discount, though -- They won't see me again.
re: lamaranthe
To me, going to Yorkdale Shopping Mall means that I'll be shopping. After a while I get tired and hungry but I don't feel like wasting my time fighting with the staff or the (hiding) manager. I felt that 20 minutes was already a long wait. IMO the waitress places the order, picks it up when ready, brings it to the table. The waitress who tended my table did the best she could do, offering to warm up my plate and ordering another plate of fries. It's just that I did not want to waste another 20 minutes waiting. I tipped her 15%. Why should I penalize her? There are other eateries in this Mall. And for good smoked meat and fries, I refrain until I can go to Centre Streeet Deli! It is not that far away and it's really worth the ride.
You sent something back saying you thought it was bad, the only proper response is to take it off the bill and offer to serve you something else. The something else may or may not get comped, the important thing is that the thing you percieved as badly made is taken off the bill. Doing anything else is just plain foolish.
A major botch by the restaurant's decision-makers. It's unclear if the server was put between a rock and a hard place, but she would have at best garnered a 15% to the penny before tax. I would (if I had the time) have made things more uncomfortable for the manager to hide - there are fun ways of flushing them out from hiding, such as staying at the table and just waiting, making a call to the restaurant's manager while you're still at the table, et cet. If you ahve the time, never get rolled; for the sake of those who follow you, roll right back. Consider it the evening's dessert entertainment: dining as virtual contact sport.
re: Karl S
I'd definately reduce the tip to about 3%. The waitress' job was to be your advocate in the kitchen, and she failed miserably in this role on multiple counts. The insults heaped upon you were a team effort. The entire operation failed you (and probably several of those people share the tip so they all deserve to be stiffed). Sadly, people nonetheless tipping 15% in such situations and rewarding horrible treatment is why we have so much bad service and server sense of entitlement out there.
Please out this restaurant. They don't deserve your protection. For good measure, call the health department on them.
re: Leonardo
There's a difference between an uncooperative waitress and an uncooperative manager. If the waitress is doing everything she can to make sure you're happy, she deserves at least 15 percent and probably a good bit extra. If she doesn't care, then she deserves a lower tip, but not THAT low. According to Emily Post, the lowest you should leave for a tip is eight percent for bad service, and if you're tipping low like that you would do well to get the attention of a manager to explain the situation.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
I understand that sometimes waitstaff are placed in a compromised position. Our waitress was very rude regarding the discussion about the fish and the bill. Mgmt would not surface. A tip was not tendered as we felt it was not deserved. I guess I should have mentioned that in the beginning.
re: SweetPea
It sounded like that from your original post when the waitress said that it was fine. That's very bad form. I'd be curious as to where this happened, but with management like that the place can't possibly last very long, and I'm not in your neck of the woods anyway.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
>...lowest you should leave for a tip is eight percent for bad service
there are bad service situations where you are irritated or have wasted
time, but in this scenario, you are actually out money. an example might have
been where you had to escalate and cause a minor but evening ruining scene
to get the item removed.
under the circumstances, i think the customer may not unreasonably try
to achive some equity by taking it out of the tip. i suppose it might be
slightly fairer to leave a 5% tip and take it off the bill yourself, but that's
a more aggressive move. i have plenty of sympathy for waitstaff whose
compsenation is partly in the hands of other people [poor preparation,
take too long] or subject to some element of chance ... accidentally
bumping a patron on the head or spilling some water on him ... but
if you are deliberate rude with no provocation, i just dont think you are
owed anything. if a cardealer spend a bunch of time with you and then
tries to pull something sleazy, should you leave him $20 for the 30min
where he was "reasonable"?
so the elements i would consider is "what is the nature of the loss
you have suffered" and "what is the cause of the loss [true accident,
back of house fault, front of house fault], and what mitigation was
attempted. if each f these variables end up wrongly aligned, i dont
think you owe anythng.
re: Karl S
Karl S, while I like your strategy for flushing out the manager, I encountered a manager who backed the server.
Sweet Pea, I also like the idea given of stopping payment on the bill.
In addition, how about a letter to the Chamber of Commerce, copying the restaurant?
re: dolores
We paid cash but have a receipt. Yes, I am considering BBB, Consumer Affairs, Resto report via DHEC, etc. Mgmt obviously does not care.
re: SweetPea
Word-of-mouth will work.
re: lamaranthe
I'm with SweetPea on contacting EVERYONE who could come down on the restaurant in even a minor way. Things like this send me into a letter writing frenzy where NO ONE is spared anything. Trust me, you can bring anything from a restaurant to a nursing home, or a major utility to it' begging knees, and you don't even have to be rude nor vendictive in your efforts, and always hold a trump card.....THE TOP regulatory agency/entity that no one wants that bomb to reach. Don't do it on the phone. Do it in writing, and "cc" everyone that has been included in your complaint.....no angry "rants", just justified "assertiveness".
re: SweetPea
slow down, please. yes, this was craptastic customer service, but nothing was criminal or deceptive. this is not the purview of the bbb or consumer affairs. i'm not sure what dhec is and acronym for, but if it's your local health dept., unless you can prove you fell ill from food you were served, you have nothing to report. you didn't witness the servers seagulling, did you?
write to the owner, and bad-mouth the place to your friends. don't return. let it go.
re: SweetPea
OMG! BBB?!?! Don't go back. End of story. Don't waste any more time on this!
This is horrible but you probably do not need jfood to confirm that very evident point. To answer your question, though, the cost of the dish should have been removed and a free substitute brought to you.
Other thoughts:
- there is not one person who did anything for you including the waitress. when she stated the staff was eating it in the back she went into the zippo-tippo category.
- jfood would write a letter to the manager and copy the local board of health, and the better business bureau
- jfood would then call amex and file a stop payment and send a letter to that effect
- jfood would place the name of the place on chowhound
probably nothing will happen with all of this.
then jfood would go to a good resto and have a good meal and chalk it up to experience.
Never. Go. Back. If the wait staff had to argue that the fish was "fine" because the BOH was eating it, and then tried to ding you for the bites(YARGH!) you took to ascertain (YARGH!), well, eeek this is bad, this restaurant doesn't deserve the business, and deserves a letter/call to management.
No problem here with no tip, as waitstaff didn't advocate for the customer in a quite iffy situation. Must say I am amused by Karl S's approach of waiting "them" (mgmt) out. would love to see that scenario.
First, SweetPea, I take it that the meal was a la carte and not prix fixe, and that they discounted fifteen percent only from your entree and not your entire meal?
If it was a la carte...
SweetPea, you know how we homecooks like to cook for other people and enjoy seeing what we cook make them happy?
I've always found good or exceptional restaurant chefs to be like that, except to the Nth power.
Ever notice how appreciative good chefs are when you have the chance to compliment them personally? How good executive chefs in many better restaurants come out of the kitchen at some point in the evening to circulate among the tables to make sure patrons are satisfied?
The good ones are always distressed to know that you don't enjoy something, even if the product is high-quality, and they prepared it beautifully, but it's not what you had expected or it's not to your taste.
They take pride in their artform, and it bothers them very much to know that someone did not enjoy his or her meal.
The same goes for a well trained, professional maitre d' or waiter or waitress. On most occasions when I haven't eaten much of my meal, which can often be because I'm just not very hungry, and not necessarily because it's not good, the waitron or maitre d' have asked me, kindly, if there was something wrong with it. Often enough, even after I explain that it was delicious, but just too large a portion for me, they *still* ask if they could exchange it for something else.
And I remember on at least one occasion, when I enjoyed the food very much, and reassured the waiter of that, but just didn't eat too much of it, when the bill came, the entree had been comped.
That's what happens in well run restaurants.
They respect and love cuisine, and understand that grace and hospitality are basic to the business of restaurateuring.
They should have offered to exchange or comped your entree without your having to make the request, but since they did neither, no, you were not at all unreasonable.
re: MaggieRSN
Yes, a la carte. The discount was only in relation to the fish. I was OK with the other items ordered and was specific in my request to have only it removed from the bill.
re: SweetPea
SweetPea, can you tell us the name and location of this place? I want to be sure to never go there.
re: sammur
Thailand Restaurant, Columbia, SC - posted on south board
re: SweetPea
Of course, never go back. But let them know that. Stop payment then write a letter telling them how horrible your experience was and especially how you are letting the world know it too. I can't believe they didn't comp it-maybe they just don't *understand* that is the way it is properly done?
re: chocchipcookie
there is nothing on which to stop payment. the op paid cash.
re: SweetPea
TY. Just wanted to make sure I had understood you properly.
Repeating myself, but only to offer moral support. You were not unreasonable at all. The resolution you wanted was appropriate, but the actions of the restaurant were not.
re: MaggieRSN
Maggie, I'm confused. Per your example, you ate and enjoyed your food, then found it to be comped. You then stated, "That's what happens in well run restaurants".
Well run restaurants are supposed to take things off the bill you've enjoyed? Riddle me confused.
re: invinotheresverde
Those restaurants usually switch ownership in a couple of years. I mean, there's comping because a mistake was made and "silly not cost effective" comping. A place can be full every night and still hemhorrage money.
Sheesh. A few years ago a companion were traveling via car and stopped at a Denny's/IHOP type place for breakfast. He ordered pancakes and, being his typical self he found something wrong with them--if I remember correctly there was a foreign object on the plate, a remnant of a hash brown potato--oh the horror of it all.
Instead of complaining, which let me tell you was highly uncharacteristic, he just pushed it away while I munched contentedly on my eggs while he sulked. (The stories I have of his behavior in restaurants are legend, and one reason we eventually split up) . Anyway, the waitress noticed he barely touched it, offered a replacement and of course my beau declined, because, well, who cares. Without even being asked she took it off the bill.
re: marcia
I have a friend like this, we all hate going to dinner with him, he complains about everything in order to get something off the bill.
Unacceptable actions by the restauramt, and the waitress.
I would have paid the full check, tipped the waitress very little(her response was rude, & her response that the BOH was eating it and it was ok was argumentative, and unprofessional), outed them here on CH, and never returned to this place.
I dont believe in starting a letter writing campaign to the owners, managemet, etc(I wouldnt plan on going back anyway, so it serves me no purpose). That just wastes more of my time than this visit has already. I have more money than time, and I would just simply put this place on the do not return list, and move on.
Way too many quality restaurants to waste time on places like this.
re: swsidejim
Earlier this year at a fish restaurant in Alanya, Turkey I sent back my fish because it was overcooked, full of bones (although it was a filet) and didn't taste good. I then gave the money for my check to my friend so I could go to the toilet and told her I would meet her at the car because I needed to put some more money in the parking meter. The waiter came out to my car and said I had to pay even though I sent the food back and if I didn't, they would take the cost out of his pay. I told him I sent it back because it was inedible and shouldn't have to pay. He finally realized I wasn't going to give in, so he gave up and went back in to the restaurant. In contrast, one time at a pizza parlor on a US military base in Germany, I didn't eat but 2 slices of my pizza and threw it away. The manager of the food court came over and asked if there was something wrong with it and when I explained that it was the worst pizza I had ever had and didn't want to eat it, she took me over to the pizza counter and told them to refund my money, which they did. This is an example of excellent customer service.
re: RevImmigrant
i have a friend who almost always complains about her food and almost always sends it back. its kind of obnoxious. i mean i am all about good food, but we almost have too much attitude in the US about getting exactly what we want, when we want it. go most other places around the world and they do not put up with this at all.
re: Zucumber84
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. That is one of the reasons why I would go to Rome.
There is no reason to expect the same level of customer service in all parts of the world. I wouldn't want "customer service" intruding on the whole experience.
That is terrible.
Did you use your credit card? If you did, call the credit card company and tell them what happened and that you will not pay that portion of the bill.
We once did that when a restaurant insisted on charging us for two glasses of sparkling wine that we had taken two sips from - thus realizing that they had given us sparkling wine when we had specifically told the waiter that we want champagne.
I do not drink sparkling wine - and especially not at $17 per glass. BTW, that was the last time -ever- we went to a restaurant for Valentine's day (or any other commercial "holiday"). What over priced nonsense.
They were awful and inexcusable to you and I wouldn't have paid for anything unless the entire bad fish was removed from the bill. Force the issue, unless you were short on time. and of course, no tip at all.
Since you paid in cash I would have manually taken the fish off the bill and left the remaining amount. Why would you pay for something that was bad. You wouldn't go to the grocery store and pay for expired milk and if you did without looking the grocery store would refund your money.
Also rude server for telling you that there is nothing wrong with the food and that everyone is eating your food (that they are making you pay for) in the back = no tip.
re: camp1980
I understand your point. My brother wanted to get out of there without further issue. So they voided my card and he paid cash sans tip and we left. Here's the kicker..... I left my wool blazer and scarf there when I left in a huff. A week later I had to make a deal with my husband that I would go into the meat market and get steaks with "bed hair" (and I forgot my hat) and he would go into the Thai place with "bed hair" (he couldn't care less) and get my blazer and scarf. Painful. They still smell like curry even after airing outside for 2 days. I never did anything to punish them. Maybe it's just their culture's way of doing business. I felt that it would be better to just move on. This thread is enough.
Perhaps I was brought up in a very different environment than most. I have NEVER witnessed a family member send back food and ask for a discount or for it to be removed from the bill. I was taught from a young age that unless there is something obviously wrong with a food item (not necessarily a matter of personal taste) or a drink, that you pay for it. If you do not LIKE it, you don't ORDER it again. If one food item out of many is not good, you return and know what to avoid. If everything put on the table was inedible, you simply do not return to that restaurant. Please take time to read below about my experience with unreasonable customers.
Now, I was a server for a while. Recently I was hired as "Head Server" at a new tapas bar. Last night I had a horrible night. I had three customers in a row complain. After two weeks of being open, we have not had this many in even one week. The first table complained of the priceof their top shelf margaritas. They were upset that a margarita with Patron Silver costs more than our house margaritas. They then were livid over the fact that their filet (which was ordered "extra well done") was dry. I politely took care of the filet, of course. I even had an extra baked potato delivered to a woman at the same table who didn't care for the asparagus she had received. They then began to scream over the margaritas and accused our bartenders of not putting liquor in their drinks. I assured them that the drinks not only contained 1.5 ounces of tequila but also triple sec and grand marnier and other juices.
The second scenario was a plate of seared tuna. I had the tuna earlier that day and it was fabulous as usual. It had been delivered fresh earlier that day (and we are 3 hours from the coast..it was REALLY fresh and high grade tuna). I personally order seared tuna anytime if it is on the menu. I recognize that sometimes it is better than other times. I personally know that our tuna is fabulous. I went and ate another piece in the back to be sure. I tried to reason with the table. They insisted that the tuna was fishy. Our chef will sample a food in the back if a table complains. He also tried the tuna. If fish is ever complained about and is past its peak, he gladly encouorages me to comp the food. If not, he says NO. The bottom line is that there are individuals who lack class and who take advantage of the system. I had a table complain that their margarita was too sweet and then order a mojito! For God's sake, please have some class. Also, PLEASE don't take it out on your server. I can assure you that the server has NO control over the food and as long as he/she does her job, you should tip appropriately. (it least 15 percent!! )
re: mesamanager
I too, have been a server. The "zippo tippo" was deserved.

Ron Paul and Ralph Nader Interviewed by NapolitanoApril 26th, 2011 by Sam
From January 19, 2011
cheap adobe flash cs4 professional best price premiere pro cs3
From January 19, 2011
McKinney states that the debate was basically run unilaterally by the Nader campaign, she will be on C-Span's "Washington Journal" Friday at 9 am ET.
Moderator Chris Hedges claimed that Chomsky will be voting for Obama, but what he read I don't think backed that up. In his interview with The Real News, which I think Hedges based his comments on, Chomsky seemed to advise people "in swing states" to vote for Obama. Chomsky lives in Massachusetts — McKinney probably has a better chance of winning there than McCain … So far the debate feels like a "parallel news conference". … It is a great failure of the candidates in my view that they hardly ever talk about VotePact as a solution to the voters' dilemma, as in the beginning of this debate. …
Hedges is certainly raising alot of the crucial issues: Read the rest of this entry »
Third Party Ticket is organizing a debate tonight with Nader and Baldwin. Their web page also features a forum with Cynthia McKinney.
After the the BBC allegedly did a "global poll" which only listed Obama and McCain (I guess ballot access restrictions are even more stringent in Canada), I wrote the piece "If Everyone in the World Could Vote, Obama Would Win. Right?" which argued that — despite the lack of media coverage — third party and independent candidates might beat the establishment candidates. Well, someone actually did something similar that I hadn't seen until now. The page doesn't list the current non-establishment candidates, but it does list the candidates who ran in the primaries. Ron Paul got more votes than all the other candidates combined, over 68,000. Obama got 23,000. Kucinich was in third with 9,000.
(1 unsatisfied Democrat) * (1 unsatisfied Republican) –VotePact–> (2 happy independents)
"VotePact: The Next Phase of the R3VOLution"
"VotePact, it's like getting your vote and eating it too."
"Freeing the Public, Two at a Time"
"Don't cancel your vote with your friend's — double your votes together."
You would vote for Obama. Your neighbor would vote for McCain. You would cancel each other out. Instead, you decide to team up and magnify your votes by both voting for other candidates. Now, video it. YouTube is teaming up with PBS, encouraging people to "Video Your Vote". I can't say I embrace the politics of either, but I'll link to any videos (or articles) along these lines.
Back in December 2007, Matt Waterman, who set up one of the blind taste test web pages for the primaries told me:
Five months after launch we've had over 200,000 people use the tool to find out how well candidates' views match up against their own. Records from the submissions have shown the most common top match-up to be, by a wide margin, Dennis Kucinich, with Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Mike Gravel as the distant runners-up. The data that have been collected are far from scientific, but do seem to demonstrate a large disconnect between where people stand on the issues and who conventional polls have indicated they plan to vote for. I would be interested to see the results if pollsters asked questions like these ['blind taste tests']. People may not know where the candidates actually stand on many of these issues, or perhaps they're making their decisions based on only a few key political issues. It's also likely that people simply don't see some candidates as being electable.
This severely undermines the argument, put forward by many detractors, that third party runs are somehow dubious because "we heard from Kucinich and Ron Paul in the primaries."
Also, thanks to Philip Meyer, Knight chair in journalism at the University of North Carolina for pointing me in good direction about the "spiral of silence."
Several decades ago, the German pollster Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann (who worked for a time at a pro-Nazi paper) put forward the notion of the Spiral of Silence, in part to explain why people in Germany went along with the Nazis:
Observations made in one context spread to another and encouraged people either to proclaim their views or to swallow them and keep quiet until, in a spiraling process, the one view dominated the public scene and the other disappeared from public awareness as its adherents became mute. This is the process that can be call a "spiral of silence." [book on google books]
I think we see a related phenomenon in our society. There's the image of choice (McCain/Obama), but anything beyond that is rendered null and void. One of the main mechanisms for this is what I call the pundification of the populous. Most citizens no longer are. They are wannabe pundits, they have become pundified. The want to talk about who's up, who's down, who is "electable," who "won the debate last night," etc. Almost anything other than what their deepest beliefs are, what they want the world to look like in their heart.
One tool to get people to get grounded back to their own belief systems is "blind taste test" polling. This method of "polling" asks people what they think about various issues and then tells them what candidates are closest to them. This approach is taken by GlassBooth.org. (Note that this page excludes Baldwin and other candidates; also, it is rather counter-intuitive in how it is set up for my taste. If someone builds a better one, I'd be happy to link. Note past efforts include Matt Waterman's very analytical one for the 2008 primary race. USA Today had one that was quite good and visually appealing, but took it down. Here's a picture of what it looked like. They now have one that is pathetically restricted to Obama and McCain.)
It's all rather late in the game — what isn't? — but Third Party Ticket is organizing a more inclusive debate, for Sunday October 19th, 2008 from 7pm to 9pm ET. The group has invited Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr, Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader, Barack Obama and John McCain. For a taste, see Democracy Now's simulated Obama-McCain-Nader-McKinney debate from this morning.
It's remarkable that McCain and Obama agree on the Wall Street bailout, increasing the military, civil liberties restrictions (Patriot Act re-authorization, FISA), corporate trade deals, support for Israel, increased militarization of Afghanistan, threats ("all options on the table") against Iran, against a single-payer health care system. On many of these issues, they are opposed by a majority of the U.S. public and most of the main independent and third party candidates. Yet, because most of the public is stuck in partisan boxes and the big media outlets have refused to cover non-establishment candidates, they remain in single digits. This of course is the problem VotePact solves.
It unfairly ignores Chuck Baldwin and has a number of flaws, but IndyKids still puts mainstream media to shame in breaking down some of the positions of various candidates, esp see their PDF newspaper, though the type is a little small. Reminds me of Jesus saying of children: "the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Would be happy to link to other breakdowns of positions of various candidates.
Also, the Political Compass gives their assessment of the various 2008 presidential candidates along their two-dimensional axis. Some of their analysis is dubious in my view, but they make some worthwhile comments:
While Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader are depicted on the extreme left in an American context, they would simply be mainstream social democrats within the wider political landscape of Europe [to say nothing of the rest of the planet]. Similarly, Obama is popularly perceived as a leftist in the United States while elsewhere in the west his record is that of a moderate conservative. For example, in the case of the death penalty he is not an uncompromising abolitionist, while mainstream conservatives in all other western democracies are deeply opposed to capital punishment. The Democratic party's presidential candidate also reneged on his commitment to oppose the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. He sided with the ultra conservative bloc in the Supreme Court against the Washington DC handgun ban and for capital punishment in child rape cases. He supports President Bush's faith-based initiatives and is reported in Fortune to have said that NAFTA isn't so bad.
It's not at all transparent how Political Compass determined the placement of the candidates on their chart. They list Baldwin and Barr as surprisingly close to McCain. It's not clear if they are taking stated positions of politicians at face value — Biden says he's against the Iraq war, but voted for it and voted for funding it, for example, Barr somewhat similarly states positions today very different than what he has voted for — or if they are extracting stances based on the candidate's record.

A Daily Word - May 23, 2014
May 23
Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
Hebrews 10:19-22
An associate was an aide to the President prior to being a pastor. My colleague knew the thrill of getting his White House pass, granting access to the Oval Office itself. Jesus' blood is our "pass" into the very presence of the Most High. When we arrive, we discover Jesus is the High Priest—in charge. My associate lost his White House pass when he resigned, and jokes he can't even go near the door now. But because we are in Christ, and because His blood is the "pass," and He is in charge, we never lose our access, and can always go there with confidence.

My GoddessWhen my ex girlfriend was pregnant, I was her main support because her piece of **** boyfriend wasn't there for her. I found that as the pregnancy progressed, the more I loved her. She had this wonderful glow about her that was otherworldly. I used to read to her baby, I rubbed her belly with massage oil. I waited on her hand and foot. She was my Goddess and I worshiped her. Because of what she was carrying there was nothing more precious to me. I was her Lamaze coach. I developed her cravings. Especially chocolate malted milk shakes. I swear that my ankles started swelling. I developed her lactose intolerance. So, no more milkshakes. We had amazing sex throughout her pregnancy. She was so self conscious about her physical appearance. I told her that I wouldn't want to be anywhere else nor with anyone else.
She was just getting more beautiful. At times, I would start crying because I couldn't stand her beauty and it was torturing my soul. Throughout this time, I tried to get her boyfriend involved in this situation. He refused. When the baby was due, we had a lot of sex to induce the pregnancy. Over the course of two weeks, we made love and it was the most wonderful feeling I ever had. When we were done, we would lie next to each other, I would rub and kiss her belly
When her water broke, I drove her to her midwife. I contacted the father and told him that this is his last chance to be a man. He never answered. I helped birth her son. It was the happiest moment of my life. I loved her son and I raised him as my own for the first year of his life. Then, his father came back into the picture. I extracted myself from the situation.
This was 15 years ago, If his father never came back, I would have raised him as my own. I feel pity for the men who have the opportunity to experience what I had and not appreciate it. Or, not be there at all. It has been a wonderful and life changing experience. Whenever I see a pregnant woman, I just want to love her, as it is the most beautiful sight on Earth.
Wow...you are good!! :)
Wow, this was so incredibly touching, really. I'd like to experience that magic one day and be pregnant.. she was very lucky to have someone so kind and caring for her..
I craved chocolate malt too haha I miss being pregnant sometimes :(
You are an amazing man..;)
You should have kept him out and raised the boy as your own. The father is the one who loves the child. I hope you've had a chance to father other children since them. Just as good is to raise them.
Did he have 'problems' within himself? That is the reason my older son's father wasn't around much, and hasn't been for the past 19 years of my son's life.
That's an awesome story, however, on your part.
I had figured as much, as far as alcohol/drugs issue.
The 'other' part is an extent of the issue.
Pregnant women are the most lovely of all women really. It is nice that you helped her. Commendable actually. Why don't you find your heart's desire-a true one to you-and have children now? It is never too late....

For people not used to the terminal it might be a bit daunting at first, but it is rather simple. I have gotten non-geeks at work to find the terminal appealing after showing them how to do it. The advantage with curl is that it can handle almost any kind of download.

Craig Anderson was near perfect as the Ottawa Senators snuck out a win in game 3. It took nearly 2 overtime periods but the Senators managed to get their first win of the series. When Erik Karlsson took a slashing penalty with 90 seconds left with the Senators down by 1, it looked like the Pittsburgh Penguins would take a 3-0 series lead. Cue Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson. With 30 seconds left in the third period and the Senators down a man, Alfredsson snuck behind the Penguins defence to deflect a pass behind Tomas Vokoun.
With 30 seconds left the game was tied and the Penguins were left stunned. Instead of capitalizing on their late power play, they tried to play in a lockdown mode to solidify the win and it cost them the game.
Game three proved just how exciting and intense playoff hockey is. As the game advanced to overtime you could sense the tension.
Everyone sitting on the edges of their seats watching each goalie make save after save. Both Tomas Vokoun and Craig Anderson put on a goaltending clinic, stoning shooters point black. In the end Anderson got the last save and the Senators now have life in the series.
Before the game I talked about what the Senators needed to do to get back into the series and win game 3. Get better goaltending, score more goals and keep Sidney Crosby off the scoreboard. The Senators managed to accomplish all three of those things and it resulted in a game 3 win.
While they didn't have an offencive outburst, they did manage to outscore the Penguins. The key to winning a hockey game is to score more goals than your opponent before time runs out, the Senators managed to do that.
Game Notes
- Craig Anderson stopped 49 of 50 shots through 5 periods for the win. He stood tall all night, stopping rush after rush from the likes of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and James Neal. With Anderson stopping virtually everything he saw, all the Senators had to do was score some goals. While he hadn't been great through the first two games of the season, he looked stellar tonight. If Anderson plays as well as he did in game 3, there's no reason the Senators can't upset the Penguins.
- Aside from exciting hockey the other thing the playoffs are famous for is turning some-what unknown players into heroes. Remember Trevor Lewis and Dwight King from the LA Kings Stanley Cup win? They were virtual nobodies before the Stanley Cup Finals. Last night Colin Greening scored the overtime winner which gave life to the Senators. Greening is a player who has come alive during the playoffs. He's scored 3 goals in his last 3-playoff games. Greening may not be a star like Kyle Turris or Jason Spezza but when he's contributing it only helps the Sens.
- Jason Spezza played his first game since January 27th and looked pretty decent. He played just under 19 minutes registering 4 shots and winning 60% of his face-offs. Spezza's return provided some offencive depth for the Senators and allowed them to play two top lines.
- After the game everyone was upset with the officiating. While no game will ever be officiated perfectly, the referees have not been great through the first two rounds of the playoffs. The call everyone is most upset about is a missed high-stick to the face of Erik Karlsson. Matt Cooke attempted to clear the puck but instead nailed Karlsson right in the face. There was no call on the play and Karlsson was not a happy camper. Should there have been a penalty on the play? Yes, but Erik Karlsson is beginning to get a bad reputation for diving. He was even given a penalty for diving in this game. It's a shame because Karlsson is a fantastic young defenceman, but the book on him is that he'll go down pretty easily with minimal contact. If Karlsson wants to get some of those close calls, he'll need to stop diving, snapping his head back and yelling at the officials.
With game 4 set to go on Wednesday night, the Senators now know they can beat the Penguins and Tomas Vokoun. The Senators have life and fight; we'll see if they can make the series into a war with a game 4 victory.

Wayne Rooney shows off his interviewing skills - originally posted on Soccerlens.comManchester United star Wayne Rooney has already started polishing his post-retirement life as a TV presenter. Ahead of the big friendly game against Brazil, Rooney shows off his interviewing skills as he talks to fullback Leighton Baines and his former Everton teammate Leon Osman. England are playing their first international fixture of 2013 at the Wembley Stadium. The Brazil game is the first of a series of fixtures to celebrate 150 years of the English FA. Although only pride is at stake, it is an important fixture nonetheless. The importance of the fixture makes it tough for the Everton duo to be selected. Baines faces competition from Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole, who is set to become only the seventh Englishman to earn 100 caps for the Three Lions. Osman got his first cap for England in November 2012. He played the full 90 minutes in the 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Ibra XI – Sweden. If...

dev·qops \ˌdɛv-,Kops\
: to undertake "DevOps" with particular impetus on Quality Assurance (QA), ideal for the larger organisation with rigorous QA processes and sophisticated, multi-tiered IT systems.
Example: "I use DevQops since DevOps didn't quite address my development, quality assurance and IT operational needs."
DevQops v. DevOps
Wikipedia describes DevOps as:
DevOps (a portmanteau of development and operations) is a software development method that stresses communication, collaboration and integration between software developers and information technology (IT) operations professionals.
Without trying to be overly simplistic, the emphasis here is the interaction between developers and operations. Since DevOps is still relatively immature in the IT industry, the general consensus is to focus on the literal interpretation; communication, collaboration and integration between developers and operations.
In my opinion, DevOps is the latest 'branding exercise' to encompass Continuous Integration (developers) and Continuous Delivery (operations). In theory this makes absolute sense; submit small changes frequently by the developers (without breaking the application) and implement in Production frequently.
|DevOps encompasses both Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery
However, I believe this approach is only suitable for a subset of all organisations, those that develop relatively simple systems with a short route to Live. For organisations that have large, complex, multi-tiered systems - such as Financial Services, Telecommunications, Utilities, Retail and Gaming organisations - it is likely that rigorous QA processes are in place to address various methods of testing, such as:
- Systems Integration Testing,
- Regression Testing,
- User Acceptance Testing,
- Penetration Testing,
- Load Testing,
- Functional Testing,
- Smoke Testing.
Once these levels of QA are introduced, the ability to frequently make changes and deliver changes is somewhat restricted.
|System architectural example
If we consider the example above; this could be a typical financial system topology which might represent a single QA stage (a single test-rig) within the overall software development life cycle. As a minimum - and for the purposes of this example - let's assume this particular organisation undertakes at least four levels of testing:
- Systems Integration Testing,
- Regression Testing,
- User Acceptance Testing, and
- Load Testing.
In terms of complexity, change management and environment management, it is my belief that the QA managers have a far more difficult job than even the Operations team - the Operations team, while important, typically only have to manage a single version of any given system within a single environment, Production.
The QA team has the more complex and demanding role of having to:
- Manage multiple versions of a single application,
- Manage multiple applications simultaneously,
- Manage multiple test-rigs simultaneously, and
- Co-ordinate all of the above to ensure testing is completed within the agreed test duration.
If the QA element cannot be managed efficiently (streamlined and automated) then it effectively renders Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery nigh on useless - as per Kanban, your process is only as effective as your greatest bottleneck.
So, to get to DevOps nirvana (DevQops) one has to assess the processes surrounding QA. In my experience the most common issues are around:
- Managing "change-sets"; a collection of small changes from development scheduled for delivery,
- Infrastructure Management; provisioning required infrastructure to support altered application(s), and
- Application Deployment; implementing changes from development - or other test stages - into desired test-rig.
These common issues are not difficult to manage in themselves, but when applied to a large organisation with hundreds, if not thousands, of servers, test-rigs environments and applications, then the task becomes brittle, cumbersome and resource-intensive [costly] to manage.
I will dedicate a future Blog on "How to Implement Fully Automated DevQops".

Kappa-PET Imaging and Naltrexone in Alcohol Drinking Behaviors
Alcohol Drinking
Trial Phase
Phase 1
Trial Purpose and Description
Trial Purpose
The primary purpose of the study is to increase our knowledge of receptor function in the brains of people who are heavy drinkers and taking naltrexone (NTX), a medication that has been approved for the treatment of alcohol dependence. Receptors are special molecules in the brain to which other molecules (neurotransmitters) attach during the normal every-day workings of the brain. Drugs can bind to those receptor molecules as well. Recent evidence suggests that kappa opioid receptors (KOR's) may play an important role in alcohol drinking behavior. This study will try to determine if naltrexone's ability to attach to these receptors is related to its effectiveness. We will use PET (positron emission tomography) for this study. PET is a type of imaging device found in nuclear medicine. It is used for tracking the presence of injected radioactive materials in the body.

So this is it! It's time to announce the Livetumblring of the GLOBAL television premiere of Doctor Who: The Day of The Doctor!
Immediately following the YouTube live pre show (be sure to watch it b/c we're featuring tumblr posts from around the world!), we'll be Livetumblring the worldwide simulcast of the 50th Anniversary episode of Doctor Who!
If you've never joined us for a Livetumblring before, it's where we post gifs, art, and reactions to the blog just as they happen in the broadcast!
That means this is for everyone around the world, whether you're in Israel or Russia or Brazil, Australia or America as well as the 89 other countries we didn't list that are simulcasting. LIVETUMBLR IS FOR EVERYONE.
And because our plan is to watch this at least twice today, we're doing it again for the BBC America evening broadcast where we'll get to highlight more things made by you guys!
If you're watching in a cinema, don't livetumbl with us. Phones are distracting and people might find it rude. Put your phone away, get some snacks and enjoy the show. (We suggest milk duds and popcorn with extra butter! *adipose wobble*)
If you can't watch with the rest of the world, here's how to avoid spoilers.
Use Tumblr Savior if you don't want to see anything. We will tag everything we post with #The Day of The Doctor and #DW Spoilers. If you're liveblogging with us, we encourage you to do the same so that other people don't accidentally see things they don't want to see.
For everyone else watching at home, in a dorm, in a student center, in a pub, please join in! Post your thoughts, emotions, reactions to the tag The Day of The Doctor.
Remember to follow @bbcamerica on twitter for exclusive clips during the show!
And remember to share your DW50 moments with #doctorwho50thlive so that we can get them in the pre-show!
We have one goal today:
to break the record for simultaneous fan tumbling to have THE BEST DAY OF THE DOCTOR EVAR!!!
The Doctor Who Tumblr Adipose has been taking pictures of Whovians at the Doctor Who Celebration in London!
In honor of the Doctor Who 50th anniversary, the Google doodle has been transformed into something a little more Whovian. You'll soon realize that this isn't any ol' animation, it's actually a game!
Choose your Doctor
Slip past the Daleks to collect the Google letters
Win all of the things!
So far it's available on Google.co.uk, Google.ca, and Google.co.nz, and others around the world!
(We'll update you when it's available on Google in the US too.)
If you're already excited about Saturday for the premiere of 'The Day of The Doctor' HOLD ON TO YOUR SONICS because there's so much more to be excited about!
At 7PM EST 'The Day of The Doctor' will re-air so you can watch it a second time (and this time maybe let your family members talk while it's on!)
At 9PM EST is the BBC America premiere of ATLANTIS (which is great on its own, but will also have a never before seen inside look from David Tennant and Matt Smith)
And finally at 10PM is The Graham Norton Show where both David Tennant and Matt Smith will be guests
Only one and a half-ish more days to go!
We've received an amount of asks about 'The Day of the Doctor' simulcast for west coast US viewers.
Just to clarify, it will air at 11.50a Pacific on BBC America. Your local listings may not have been updated yet.
Take note West-coast U.S. viewers! Your simulcast will still be simulcastin'
After a lot of hard work (and a lot of seam-ripping) I've finally finished my David Tennant and Matt Smith inspired drawstring backpacks for myself and my best friend for the 50th Anniversary celebration next Saturday!!
Thank you everyone for your kind words and questions and if you see us at the theater on the 23rd, definitely make sure to say hi!! c:
Thanks for the big blue envelope, Adipose! Here I've gone against what everyone has told me and did an 'unboxing' vid.
(Source: the-last-teabender)
Thank you SO SO SO SO much Doctor Who Tumblr! I was having a stressful day but then I got this in the mail! IT MADE ME SO HAPPY!!! You guys are wonderful!

Ask Alyssa: "Should I ask my boss on a date?"
Well hello-o-oooo! I hope that 2013 is treating you all well so far. I've been MIA for a minute, but now I'm back and ready to dive right back into all of your questions! This week I answered some interesting questions, some, lets just say "deeper" than others but all good none the less. So without further ado, here are this weeks Q and A's by yours truly!
Childish Games
Hey Alyssa, I had this friend who during summer told me she liked me. I am really not a relationship type person and never even thought about her that way, so I turned her down. She was kinda OK with that, but informed me that I should never talk to her again, cannot tell anyone why we are no longer friends and that she would delete my phone number and e-mail, etc. So, OK, I can understand that, somewhat — but, since we both study the same thing and are in the same class, things have gotten a bit complicated. She has told me that I cannot talk to people she's talking to, and can't even comment on anything school-related she does, even when it's something that other students are expected to contribute to.
I have tried to adhere to her rules. I recently decided I should try and talk to her about this because it's been kinda straining on our mutual friends, whom she uses as messengers when she wants to complain to me about something. Well, the talk didn't go well and now she apparently blames me for everything, and is retroactively angry at me for everything I've said and done "wrong" during the time I've known her. So, my question is, how should I deal with this thing? I fear it's starting to be a bother to our other classmates as well. — Troubled24
Dear Troubled, This person sounds like a giant irritating baby. I'm sorry, but for god's sake tell her to grow the hell up. You need to get one thing straight; YOU, did absolutely NOTHING wrong. If this girl liked you and you didn't have the same feelings for you, I applaud you for not leading her on. You were straight up honest and said you were not interested. BAM! Over and done with.
I can understand her maybe not wanting you to tell people that you shot her down, I get that — but she has no other hold on you and should have zero expectations for how you move through the world after that. If you not being intimately interested in her caused her to decide that she didn't want to be friends any more, she wasn't your real friend to begin with, as for school, she needs to deal with it. You can talk to who ever you want, you can comment on anything you please and when it comes to school NEVER let anyone get in the way of your education. NEXT! Best of luck, Alyssa
Daddy Warbucks
Hi Alyssa. So, this might be weird, because I know mostly girls write in, but I like reading your column and I liked watching you on the show. You were the only one who wasn't completely insane or overly dramatic and most of all you seemed the most relatable.
Anyway, I have been with my girlfriend for a little over four years and I think she is the one. I plan to ask her to marry me in the fall since its her favorite time of the year. The thing is, she is from a kind of poor family, and I was fortunate enough to be born into a family with money. I took over my father's business and have had to do very little to get all the wonderful things I have in my life. My girlfriend always talks about how she doesn't need much, and that she feels uncomfortable around people with lots of money. She is a wonderful, bright woman, she put herself through school and worked three jobs when we met. I had to force her to quit one and lied to her about how much her half of the rent was when we decided to move in together so that she wouldn't have to work so hard. I wanted to pay for everything when she moved in but she would not have it. I respect that, but want to treat her the way I think she deserves to be treated. I want to give her a beautiful ring and an amazing wedding and tell her that she only needs to work if she wants to. I'm just worried that she will feel uncomfortable about everything and/or take it all the wrong way. How do I make her understand where I am coming from without making her feel uncomfortable? -Brian
Dear Brian, are you for realsies? First world problems! Kidding. Well, here's the thing: You guys have been together now for four years AND she moved in with you, so she obviously gets that you're not trying to force your silver spoon down her throat.
That being said, I think that you should be attentive to what her likes and dislikes are. I think you're already listening to your heart and that its telling you what to do. You paid attention to the fact that her favorite time of the year is fall and you know how she feels about super extravagant things. I would start there. Don't be over the top, don't run out and get a huge ring, because that's not what defines your love for each other. Get her something just a little nicer than practical.
As for the wedding, if she says yes, plan it together, the rest should fall into place. She may never become totally comfortable being lavished with gifts, or impressed by a bank account but that's probably why you click. If you want to spoil her do it in ways that she would like and continue to be attentive. I hope that helps! If it doesn't, I'll put you in touch with my mom. You sound like her kind of dream boat. XO — Alyssa
Sexy Boss
Dear Alyssa, I work in a boring office building in downtown Boise, I am not completely out and I am 26 years old. Recently our office went through some changes and we got a bunch of new managers and bosses. I am essentially a glorified secretary. I am 99% sure that my new boss is gay. She is super hot in that kind of andro way and I'm pretty sure I heard her on a call with a friend in her office talking about a lesbian movie.
Anyhow, I am super into her. I find every excuse to go into her office to talk, but she doesn't seem interested at all. She is very nice to me, but barely looks up. What do you think I should do? I mean, I'm not even sure she likes girls — maybe I'm just assuming because I want it to be true. Help! Sincerely, Amanda
Dear Amanda, Here is the thing about office crushes, sometimes you never know who is interested or not because you are at work, you know — working. You have the double whammy of it being your boss and not just a regular co-worker.
I'd say, ask her out for friendly drinks after work or something like that. Get her out of the office and talk, get to know each other. You don't really know much about her at all, maybe she's already in a relationship and that's why she seems disinterested — who knows? It's too soon to tell. For now, lay the ground work, get to know her and try to make a good impression. Baby steps young Skywalker, baby steps. XO — Alyssa
Tough Love
Alyssa, hi. I am 30 and have been with my partner for 10 years. She is an alcoholic. I love her but just can't do it anymore. We have been on a roller coaster of a ride for the last six months. She crashed our car, she almost died and that still isn't enough of a wake up call for her to get help.
Everything else in our relationship is great, when she is sober, but when she isn't its like living in hell. We barely ever go out anymore because if we do she drinks to the point of blackout. All of our friends have basically shunned her. Its really sad, most of them only call me in secret if they even call at all and only want to see me because they don't want to have to babysit her if she comes out. It's awful. She is constantly falling down, she has a new cut, gash or bruise every other week and it's embarrassing. I'm afraid if I leave her that it will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I barely sleep anymore and if I do its because I am crying so much that it knocks me out.
She is so talented, bright and beautiful. When she is sober she has the world eating out of her hands but she has gotten so bad with drinking over the last three years that no one will give her the time of day. I don't even really know what I'm asking. What do I do? – Emily
Dear Emily, This is a really tough place to be in. I have known people with alcohol addictions and it's not an easy hand. Its tough to turn your back and yet its nearly impossible to work through. The truth of it is, with addiction, you can't heal or help someone unless they want it for themselves. At this point it sounds to me like she needs professional help. Addiction is super sad because the addict often is a shell of their former self and everyone can see it but them. Most of the time, sticking around only enables the addict to keep doing what they are doing. I am a firm believer in tough love; I give it to all of my friends. I would try to set up some type of intervention.
I know it sounds cliché, but this method really does work. Surround this person with people who love her and let them tell her why they have disappeared out of her life. She may not want to hear any of it, but it will be your chance to tell her that if she doesn't get help and make a change that you can no longer be with her anymore. Some people have to hit rock bottom, and rock bottom doesn't involve you continuing to take care of her and clean up her messes. I know it may be hard, but you said it yourself, you just can't do it anymore. If there is any chance for the two of you, it will only be once she has gotten herself clean and gotten her shit together. I'm not sure where you live, but you can message me privately to tell me what area you are from and I'll try to help you find a facility or psychologist who deals with drug and alcohol addiction to walk you through this tough but necessary task. With love and concern, Alyssa

5 Days in Austin...HELP US PLAN!
- s
- stacystacy13 Sep 9, 2008 01:06 PM
My husband and I are visiting Austin for the first time...to see if we want to move there! We have always lived in Atlanta and neither of us have even been to TX.
We are very excited. We are coming car-less and staying at the Hotel San Jose in the SoCo district.
We are true chowhounds with no limits in terms of cost or cuisine...we love it all.
If you were going to have just 5 days in Austin, where would you eat for each meal: breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
**Also, I saw that it is Austin Restaurant Week. Are any of those restaurants reputable and worth visiting for prix fixe? I know in Atlanta, Restaurant Week is not all that great.
Will you be renting a car while you're here? You're in a good spot for a lot of fine restaurants. Vespaio is right down the street, Olivia's (brand new and very hot) is nearby.
On a recent thread someone from Atlanta asked for help and Paul Silver made these excellent rec's based on things you won't necessarily find in Atlanta:
"Fonda San Miguel for world class interior Mexican.
Hudson's on the Bend for world class game dishes.
Uchi - Asian fusion by our most world class chef"
The Austin Restaurant Week isn't too bad, really. First I've looked at it but I think you would find general consensus that your chances for a good to great meal are best at Aquarelle, Starlite and Cool River. But a few other places have a very good chance of being highly enjoyable: Woodland, Cru, Imperia, 34th St. Cafe, Joe D's, and The Steeping Room. I can't say I know every place on the list...
South Congress Cafe is close to your hotel and is a very popular breakfast destination.
I'd also recommend Restaurant Jezebel downtown. Wonderful chef-owned restaurant with great service and food.
re: ridgeback
I also, for the first time since moving here in 2006, had a burger at Casino el Camino. There should be a shrine mounted in front of this place to ensure passersby don't unknowingly bypass it. It's such a cool place, and the burger is superlative. Fries appear fresh-cut, as I saw a potato sack full of them in the kitchen. Be prepared for a side of surly and a shot of punk ennui with your meal. If you have allergies to either of these, keep on strolling, but you'll miss a mighty fine burger.
Based on where you're staying, you're going to get some good recommendations for upscale restaurants in the area - namely downtown and south congress area.
If you want to take a break from that, you're in luck. The 1L/1M bus stops right across the street from your hotel and takes you up north Lamar and back. Tons of divey gems along this road, north of 45th street, where it gets a little seedier (but by no means unsafe). Since you're considering moving here, I'd recommend hopping on the bus and cruising around to see a different part of town. Downtown and SoCo are fun, but I'd imagine you'd start to feel touristy after 5 days of that. Check out capmetro.org for maps, schedules, etc.
Good luck and welcome to Austin!
re: jwynne2000
Also really you should head over to 5th and Lamar downtown as well, to the Whole Foods market, it's their flagship store in the US and you'll find plenty of great dine-in opportunities at either breakfast, lunch or dinner. Most local foodies prefer to their everday shopping at Central Market which is also a great destination for a foodie. You might also consider the Saturday farmer's markets.
re: ridgeback
the dillo line is free during the week. Kind of a cool way to see the city. I imagine you could scout out a lot of great spots to eat at near the line.
Also, there is no better pairing, IMHO, than music and chow, and Austin is a awash in these opportunities. If you're here on a Friday, check out Lambert's at 401 W 2nd Street. around 6/7 ish. Grab a table in the bar area (might want to snag reservations ahead of time) and enjoy some decent 'que and some sublime jazz from the Kat Edmonson trio. Don't miss the green chile cheese grits or the mac and cheese. I also prefer their grilled offerings to their smoked ones.
re: jackietreehorn
Thanks for all the great advice...keep it coming!
No, we won't be renting a car, but we are totally open to getting to know the public transit system.
We love fine dining and dives alike, so thanks for the variety of suggestions!
I think you have some pretty decent options w/in a mile or two radius of the San Jose. I live in the neighborhood & enjoy walking to local spots (mostly fairly casual places- more "fine" dining options north of the lake):
-Enoteca (SoCo) More casual "sister" restaurant to previously mentioned Vespaio- Italian bistro-type menu
-Guero's- (SoCo)Prob more known for Austin-y atmosphere than food. I like their lime margaritas & salsa bar. Sitting out in the "beer garden" under the live oak tree when there's live music can be really nice.
-Habanero Mexican Grill- Lacking in atmosphere, but a good, friendly family-run spot for tex mex. Mostly just breakfast & lunch- dinner on Fri & Sat. Def a more "authentic" option in the area
-Buenes Aires Cafe- Surprisingly cute/good Argentinian in tiny building between a pawn shop & liquor store.
-Zax's- I like this place for the relatively large beer selection & location- for some reason, it seems easy to miss/forget about, but is really close to the lake/downtown. Pretty good "bar food"/happy hour, too.
-Sugar Mama's Bakery- This place just opened & I haven't been here yet, but its right around the corner from me & has gotten some decent reviews thus far for cupcakes & baked goods.
Enjoy your visit!
Since you say you're thinking of moving here, it won't hurt to try a variety of neighborhoods and see if any hit home. South Congress and Downtown have been covered pretty well, so here are some others. If you're up for it, look into renting a couple of bikes from one of the local shops -- the weather should be good and it's a good way to see the town.
East Side -- Between about 6th and 11th just East of the freeway are some good choices in "developing" neighborhoods. Progress Coffee on 5th, Cafe Mundi way down on 5th, Primizie Osteria and Gene's on E. 11th. (R. Kelly's BBQ is there too, but I haven't been there enough). Sam's BBQ on 12th. Further north on the East Side, there's Hoover's and East Side Cafe.
Medical/Burnet: Early evening beers at the Draught House is pretty perfect Austin ambience this time of year. Just up the road there's Pacha (coffee) and of course Fonda San Miguel. Further north on Burnet there's an assortment of older joints, diners, and family-run places -- Ginny's Little Longhorn, Top Notch, Frisco, Taqueria Arandas, Elsi's (Mexican/Salvadoran), Trudy's. The Little Deli on Woodrow is a nice neighborhood place.
Hyde Park -- There are pockets scattered throughout the Hyde Park area, I like Dolce Vita on Duval for a gelato with a shot of liqueur of your choice. Nice place to sit around. The Parlor on North Loop is my favorite dive pizza bar (and the pizza's pretty good too).
Hope that helps some.
Hi Stacy,
Try Vespaios, Imperia, Mikado, Eddie V's, North, Taste Select, Finos, Madam Mams, Olivias, Uchi, Jeffreys, Zoot, The Salt Lick, Moonshine, WineGrove, Sienna, Hudsons on the Bend, and Bess.
I'd say you definitely should do Vespaio. It's walking distance. My advice is to eat early (they open at 5pm) to avoid the wait or opt to eat at the bar. The bartenders are fabulous as well. One is famous for his ability to mix an Old Fashioned properly. And trust me, if you see a staff member eating at the bar ask him or her what to order. I've done this numerous times and their rec's never fail to be delicious picks.
In downtown, please have a Casino El Camino burger. Bring cash, ignore the gothic dungeon decor and overlook the surly kitchen creatures who will rudely take your order but create the most delicious burger.
You must, must, must go to Juan in a Million for breakfast. You'd probably be able to bus it if you go to capmetro.org and use their trip finder. At Juan's you should try the Don Juan and ask for at least one (possibly) two extra tortillas. This taco is huge. One and a cup of coffee and you're set for hours. It's a dive but the owners are super friendly. If Juan's there he'll be smiling, greeting and shaking hands as you walk in. If you go at peak times there will be a wait, like at all good places.
When you tour Whole Foods keep in mind we also have Central Market in two other spots of the city. They're a similar concept store from a different retailer. At WF stop by the gelato bar for avocado gelato. It's a light, delicate flavor (not like guacamole) and very good. They also have regular flavors.
Pizza!! Some days you just want comfort food. Farther down S. Congress near Oltorf St. you have Southside Flying Pizza (they will deliver to your hotel) and within walking distance is Homeslice. Each time I've eaten at Homeslice my pizza crust has been unpleasantly charred but others rave about the quality of pie. My downtown fav is Frank & Angie's at 6th & West Ave.
Wink for dinner. It'll require either a taxi or a bus ride with transfers but I love this place. Usually need reservations. If the restaurant is booked, try their wine bar next door for smaller options. Heck, just going for happy hour and munching away is great.
I love Fonda San Miguel for brunch on Sunday. Also on Sunday but at the other end of the classy spectrum is Ginny's Little Longhorn. You must see Chicken Sh*t Bingo. And there is food...Ginny gives away hot dogs. There's usually a hot band playing, whether it's Redd Voelkert or Dale Watson or some other high quality group.
You've got tons of choices. And BBQ...ask 10 people and you're guaranteed at least 8 different answers on where's the best. I love Salt Lick and Kreuz's but they're outside ATX. Downtown I enjoy the ribs and sausage at Ironworks. Haven't been to Stubb's in a while but their brisket was decent the last time. Lambert's is supposed to be good but I have yet to make it over there....although everyone says their mac 'n cheese is the best ever.

Federal investigators say a twin-engine plane that crashed and burned at Southern California's Long Beach Airport last year was 653 pounds overweight and may have had water in its fuel tanks.
Five people were killed when the Beechcraft King Air turboprop
crashed moments after takeoff in March 2011.
The National Transportation Safety Board hasn't yet determined
the cause of the crash. The Los Angeles Times reports that NTSB documents show the plane was too heavy.
The documents also show a maintenance director believes popping
sounds on takeoff may have been caused by water in fuel tank sumps.
Sumps should be drained before each flight.
A plane maintenance director told the NTSB he didn't believe the
fuel tanks had been regularly drained since the owner bought the
plane in 2009.

Helping unemployed
U.S. Senator Roger F. Wicker
According to the latest unemployment report, more Americans who need a job are abandoning the search altogether – many of them no doubt discouraged by months of disappointment. The average time it takes to find work now tops a record-high 10 months. Last month, the 315,000 people who dropped out of the labor market far surpassed the number of hires.
To be sure, empowering America's job creators is crucial to a robust economic rebound. Enacting aggressive regulatory reform and lowering tax rates are two smart ways to start. But efforts toward lasting job growth should be comprehensive. A thriving economy also depends on a resilient and competitive workforce.
Unemployed Americans are right to wonder if the jobs outlook will improve anytime soon. Failed policies and out-of-control spending have drained confidence. News headlines focused on partisan gridlock distract from the issues at hand. And yet, there are many of us in Washington who remain committed to pursuing meaningful, prudent measures that could provide job seekers help.
Among these proposals is legislation I introduced with Sen. Mark Pryor to help prepare American workers for the demands of a rapidly evolving job market. The Workforce Innovation for New Jobs (WIN Jobs) and Applied Education Act would encourage new partnerships between educational providers and private industries for valuable on-the-job training and apprenticeship programs. These initiatives could offer the long-term unemployed – those who have been jobless for at least 27 weeks and face tougher hiring obstacles than those recently without work – a much-needed pathway into the 21st-century workforce.
In Mississippi, about half of all jobs are expected to require training beyond a high school diploma by 2018. Making sure our workers have the skills employers want is a positive investment for the future. A capable labor force and high productivity are essential to keeping the state attractive to businesses and our economies strong.
Despite today's challenges, American workers are still the best educated and most productive workers in the world. They are responsible for this country's long legacy of innovation and will drive its future prosperity. It is in our best interest to maximize the potential of our industrious and diverse workforce. We can be confident that the success of the American worker promises great returns – including a healthy, sustainable economic recovery.

If one were looking for an instructional guide for young men just starting out in the world, you could begin and end your search with Strange Brew. In this highly informative film, Canadian gentlemen Bob and Doug McKenzie (Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, respectively, who also wrote and directed) demonstrate how to make a successful science-fiction film, how to land a job at a brewery, how to woo a woman while suffering from puke breath, how to survive driving a van into a lake and how to handle yourself in both a courtroom and a prison, among many other lessons. The fact that the plot is lifted completely from Shakespeare's Hamlet cements the film's brilliance; steal from the best and forget the rest is a valuable life lesson, indeed. The Webster Film Series comes full circle by presenting Strange Brew as part of its Strange Brew program at 8 p.m. this evening at Schlafly Bottleworks (7260 Southwest Avenue, Maplewood; 314-241-2337 or www.schlafly.com). Admission is $4, and you can leave the mouse at home. The doorman already knows that trick — he's seen the film as well.

BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) -- Here are some of the top stories from Good Morning Western New York.
Crews were called to a fire on Zenner Street just before 4 a.m. Tuesday morning where a woman was trapped on the roof of her front porch. Fire crews were able to rescue the woman and a number of cats from the home, though one firefighter did suffer minor injuries battling the blaze.
The Sabres dropped game 3 to the Bruins 2-1 and now trail in the best of seven series by the same 2-1 margin. Game 4 will be played in Boston on Wednesday night.
The state budget is now 20 days late, which led lawmakers to pass another emergency spending plan. The bill allows the government to continue operating through April 25th while budget talks continue. Leaders in both houses reportedly agree on $6 billion in cuts and new revenue, though details are still being hammered out.
