"No, you should not keep hounding the guy"
I would agree that it is likely not worth your time to repeatedly contact any dealership or ( supposed ) "Internet Salesperson".
If they do not respond, they are likely not really interested in doing business via the 'net.
My experience has been that the individual dealership sales people reflect the management and \ or ownership priorities and desired sales process. ( Much like most businesses. )
If they do not even respond, they are likely designated as an "Internet Salesperson", but they have not really bought into the concept.
You do not state what make \ model you have decided on – but as stated above, there are online manufacturer resources that can often provide information about inventory, etc.
If no dealer locally will even respond to your inquiry, and you stated in the contact emails exactly what you want and the fact that you are going to buy it, you might also inquire by telephone if their Internet "guy" ( or girl ) will provide the information you are looking for via FAX.
Again, you do not state exactly what you have asked for in your contacts. If you have no vehicle to trade, and what you want is their best price on a specific configuration, I suppose I am not surprised that they do not respond if they do not have exactly the combination of colors & options you specify. As you are probably aware, automobile salespeople are almost always pushed ( hard ) by management to sell what they have "on the lot".
Most US manufacturers and many Asian brands handle very few "custom Built to Order" vehicles. ( Corvette, for example, is one exception here. ) One reason that the level of inventory at so many dealerships is so large is precisely to try to meet most potential purchasers' needs. So that they can deliver "it" today. And have your money – today. Not in 7 – 10 weeks.

audia8q Posts: 3,138Hopefully someone can help me. I am going to buy a car by the end of this month & I know what I want. I've emailed dealers in the area telling them what I want, when I want to buy, when I can give them a deposit, etc. One guy said "I don't have what you want but I'll try & find it & get back to you
What make and model are you considering and what region of the country are you located?
Your getting alot of good advice from some folks on here. Is the car you want in high demand and low supply? maybe this is why the dealers are not being so helpful???
abraindrainer Posts: 309Going to the dealership is the BIGGEST waste of time! Ok, you must test drive the vehicle before you negotiate, but negotiating at the dealership is not to the advantage of the consumer. Why? Dealership try to "control" you and wear you down. Is that going to happen from home? Nope! Many dealers try to get consumer from the Internet into the showroom and understandably that space gives the seller an advantage.
Cars are commodities where they are basically the same and can differentiated by the exact option set. Include all info in your request right down to the MSRP and make sure that maker actually offers the options you want. The automaker's site will have those details.
If you get no response, send a reminder or call and quickly move on... expand your area to 100... 200 miles. Get the lowest quote and if you want to take (or call or email) that into your local place and ask them to match it. If they are not close, start driving! 100 miles return trip can be valued at expenses plus cost of your own (and friend's) 3 hours or half a day!? You can sign and even send out all the paperwork before you leave your home just make sure that you are getting a low milage unit (a typical vehicle arrives at the dealership with under 10 miles). The other trick is to agree on taking a unit out of the supply chain and not from the lot!
All this also assumes that you are willing to sell your used vehicle (which you should do any way) or already have a reasonable quote from a place like carmax.
Shipping is also an option that has worked well from me. Think outside the BOX! Unbundle as much of the transaction as you can and then it will become much easier to realize some cost savings.
jlawrence01 Posts: 1,828If life were just as simple as you want to make it. Everyone "knows" what they want. Hardly.
I have three company drivers (executives) who are getting a new car next month. On Monday, they sent me what they "had to have." One wanted a Chrysler Town and Country. The second a 300C with the Hemi, the third wanted a Jeep Cherokee Laredo with a sunroof. Are you sure that is what you want me to order? "YES."
One of my rules is that I buy NO cars until the driver has visited the showroom and taken a test drive.
The three drivers went up to the Chrysler dealership on Tuesday. And on Wednesday. And on Thursday.
Right now, I have three orders for Chrysler Aspens from those drivers.
The Jeep Cherokee was "too rough" a ride. The Town and Country "didn't have enough power." And the Aspen was the "TOTAL PACKAGE."
Most people have NO clue as to what they really want until they have taken a long test drive.
The BUYER has control of the WHOLE purchase process in that the BUYER can walk at ANY TIME in the process. If the dealership lies, leave. If they add in a bunch of unnecessary features, leave. If they don't treat you with respect, leave.
This is my experience, to date, on purchase of a 2007 Corvette Coupe.
Initial contact was via email.
Second contact – to set a date & time for test drives – via email.
Arrived at dealer & test drove 2 – with the different suspension options I was deciding between.
Discounted price = too high at that time.
Me: "Thanks – I will be in touch when you can discount a 2007 by substantially more."
This was before the first 2007s had arrived at dealers. . .
Various intervening email updates on availability and evolving discounts.
Email 8 days ago had the discount I had targeted. For an "in-stock" unit.
I responded via email asking what the discount would be on an ordered 2007 at this time, as none in stock or inbound met my specifications.
Although initially, the answer was $500 less discount – when I was non-commital, and drove to the dealership, the final discount was actually the same as quoted for an in stock unit.
So – I am waiting for it to be built. Expected delivery in approx 6 weeks from signing the order – 5 weeks from today.
Since I needed to test drive the cars ( I had never driven a current model Corvette, and needed to test the new 6 speed automatic's paddle shift as well as various individual aspects of how I fit in a much lower car than the last several sedans I've driven, etc. – as well as compare the suspensions ) I needed to visit the dealer for that stage.
Since I wanted a highly specific set of options – and specifically did not want the Z51 performance suspension that they order on 95+% of their units for stock – I needed to sign the order and leave a deposit. They would not want one equipped like mine for their inventory.

By Ben HallInvestigative Reporter
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- More than half of all Metro schools have high levels of the cancer causing gas, radon. Those are the results after the first phase of testing from the Metro Health Department.
The testing started after a NewsChannel 5 investigation discovered a forgotten local law that required tests.
Last spring, Metro Health Department employees began hanging radon test kits in every ground level classroom over various weekends.
NewsChannel 5 Investigates has learned all schools have now been tested at least once.
Seventy-eight of Metro's 144 schools have classrooms with radon levels above what the EPA says is acceptable.
Seven of those schools have classrooms more than five times higher than the EPA standard.
Radon is a naturally occurring gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
"I would hope that Metro Schools takes to heart those serious radon levels," said Bill Gemmill with the Professional Educators of Tennessee, an organization that advocates for teachers.
He says several Metro teachers have contacted him concerned about working in classrooms with high levels of the gas.
"I say right now something needs to be done about it," Gemmill said.
The seven schools with results five times higher than the EPA's acceptable level of 4 picoCuries include:
Glenview Elementary, which has three classrooms above 20 picoCuries.
Stratford High School has one classroom above 30.
And despite three different tests at Cane Ridge High School , two classrooms are still above 20.
The other schools with high levels include Maplewood High School, Glencliff Elementary, Dalewood Middle and Old Hickman Itinerant.
But perhaps most disturbing is that the EPA warned Metro Schools that it had a serious radon problem back in 1989, after tests showed extremely high levels at several schools.
In an interview earlier this year, Metro admitted it had done little to lower levels or even test for the gas since then.
NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked Thomas Hatfield, Director of Maintenance for Metro Schools, "Why shouldn't every parent be concerned when they hear that?"
Hatfield responded at the time, "I don't know why they wouldn't be."
NewsChannel 5 Investigates said, "The EPA thought it was serious in 1989?"
"Yes," Hatfield said.
NewsChannel 5 Investigates followed, "And there was nothing really done as far as testing?"
Hatfield responded, "I don't know that a whole lot was done after 1989."
Metro Schools wouldn't do an interview about these latest test results or show us what they are doing to lower levels at schools.
Schools must now submit a radon reduction plan to the health department within the next five months for those schools above 20 picoCuries.
All schools must meet EPA standards in two years.
And while more than half of all schools currently have high levels, there's one building that does not.
The main Administration building has no rooms above the EPA standard.
Metro Schools sent a statement saying 36 schools have three or fewer classrooms with high levels. School officials say they are increasing air flow in schools and sealing cracks to lower radon levels.
If you want to see radon levels at your school, visit the Metro webpage where all the test results are posted.

Schunzel Named Volleyball Assistant Coach
Thursday, April 20, 2006Valparaiso University Head Volleyball Coach Carin Avery today announced Keith Schunzel has been named Assistant Volleyball Coach.
Schunzel coached last season as a Volunteer Assistant at Purdue University, helping the Boilermakers go 25-9 and reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
?I am extremely excited to have Keith join our staff for the 2006 season," Avery said. ?He played a key role in helping Purdue to the Sweet 16 last year, and with that experience plus his fine playing background he can help this program reach the next level."
As a four-year starting setter at Ball State from 1999-2004, Schunzel was a two-time All-American and captained the Cardinals to the NCAA Final Four in 2002. After his collegiate career, Schunzel played one professional season for VfB Friedrichshafen in Germany.
Avery, who signed a four-year contract extension last week, has guided the Crusaders to three consecutive Mid-Continent Conference Regular Season and Tournament Titles, including three straight trips to the NCAA Tournament. Valpo's quest for four in a row begins this fall.

Knoxville — Volunteers braved a cold and blustery Saturday morning to lay wreaths in honor of Americans veterans at Graceland Cemetery.
The Oskaloosa/Mary Marion Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution organized this Wreaths Across America event. Wreaths Across America will honor veterans at over 400 locations around the country this year.
Because of the weather, some of the formalities were waived. Words local Veteran Service Organizations were going to share read, "We are here today to honor our deceased veterans. On this day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free. The veterans of our military services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedom that we enjoy. They dedicated their lives to their country and today, we will recognize them for their commitment."
A recording of "Taps" was played to close out the event. The wreaths and flags are still standing at the veterans' plot at Graceland Cemetery.

Nickelback Haters ... Response to another Nickelback fan thread
You know I saw an interview on the web where Chad says no one dreams of growing up to become a music critic. Could it be that these haters are mostly made up of jealous musicians frustrated with their own careers? They wish they had a small portion of Chad, Mike, Ryan and Daniel's talent, charisma and vision. Nickelback has kept the rock we love relevant and fresh. Can you tell how much I adore these guys ;)

Re: Nickelback Haters ... Response to another Nickelback fan thread
Here and Now has already......ALREADY gone DOUBLE PLATIMUM!!! It hasn't even been out 1 month yet!
Besides Buble and Bieber, a third artist has scored a multi-platinum 2011 album. No surprise here; it?s Nickelback. Here and Now is officially double-platinum.
That's really impressive stuff. Sadly, here in the UK they don't do as well as in America - but I'm glad to see they are still doing amazingly well in the US. Sounds like there are far more lovers than haters from those sales!
Re: Nickelback Haters ... Response to another Nickelback fan thread
I have to agree with Daniela. And also I think that millions of fans can not be wrong :)
RE: Nickelback Haters ... Response to another Nickelback fan thread
I personally believe that people who are interested in the rock genre are subjected to harsh punishment in the form of 4/4 drum beats. It's because of the constant use of 4/4 drum beats that fans of rock n' roll are inclined to try out newer genres such as hard rock and heavy metal or maybe even satanic bands. However, they do not know that these genres are consisted of even more 4/4 drum beats making the viewer's search for music without 4/4 drum beats frustrating and near impossible. This frustration is then subjected upon all rock n' roll bands who use 4/4 as a way to vent their feeble attempted to find drum beats that do not follow the common 4/4 time signature. Nickelback, the easiest scapegoat due to their excessive use of 4/4, are easily hated upon for this reason and regardless of their 4/4 drum beats, their songs are diverse in genre ranging from pop to rock and then to metalcore. I believe that if Nickelback were to make a song without a 4/4 drum beat, it would go against their beliefs and would ruin their music but in the case as it is now, people will continue to hate their music.
RE: Nickelback Haters ... Response to another Nickelback fan thread
I think DOUBLE-PLATINUM says it all in my book. There are always going to be people like that...personally I think that Hating in general is a waste of good energy.
Re: Nickelback Haters ... Response to another Nickelback fan thread
it surprises me why there are those that love Nickelbacks music, and those that hate them with a passion. I don't follow their logic. I think that maybe they are just haters because they do so well and are so fervently supported by those of us that love their music. A while back they played their Live at Sturgis concert on one of the music channels here... i made mention of it on another forum i was part of and half of them jumped down my throat for it. I of course told them they were talking out of their @$$ and wouldn't good music if it bit them on their @$$!
I wasn't much of a fan until my son dragged me to a concert here back in '06..... i was converted!! loved the concert, and bought all of their CDs afterwards! Seen them in concert twice now.....and they are coming to Australia later this year.... i'm going to purchase Gold VIP tickets for this one!! at $1,000 each, it will be worth it!!
Keep on rockin guys!!
Growing old may be mandatory, growing up isn't!
Re: Nickelback Haters ... Response to another Nickelback fan thread
I think people that hate Nickelback just hate modern rock in general, and Nickelback takes all the heat because they're the most successful of all of them. The only one that never seems to get any heat is the Foo Fighters. Probably because Dave was part of Nirvana.

Olie Linsdell Racing Have Put Together a 2013 sponsorship flyer, it really does cost far less than you think!
To find out more and gain a whole new motorcycling family please download the PDF document here......
Or donate to the good cause here.......
Welcome to Olie Linsdell Racing!
Hi, and thanks for visiting my site.
My name is Olie Linsdell and I'm a young motorcycle racer from Bedfordshire. Having raced since I was 15, I have amassed a wealth of experience racing on a wide range of bikes and on some of the most challenging tracks in the world.
2012 was my tenth season racing and during that time I have shared feelings of huge euphoria and deep sadness with my dedicated, fun and understanding team. Unusually for a rider of my generation I chose to combine my short circuit racing with the ultimate challenge for bike and machine - Real Road Racing. This route has bought some of the standout moments of my career -like winning at the International Northwest 200, beating the legendary Robert Dunlop and setting a new lap record. I also set a World Record at the Manx GP for the biggest ever winning margin on the awesome TT mountain course, on my way to two victories as a newcomer, among others. It has also brought the hardest knocks, with two major accidents on the unforgiving Isle of Man mountain course- but I'm back with a vengence now.
I used 2011 as a year of recovery after my huge 2010 MGP accident, where I intended to have some fun, with no pressure, and started the season riding with the Classic Racing Motorcycle club, with the intention of getting back onto the modern bikes mid season, and my first pure road race was at the Ulster Grand prix.
For 2012, I got back into Road racing proper, have a look at my news page for full details- I'm back where I belong now, and looking forward to a full season in 2013 - can't wait......!
Enjoy your visit!
It would not be possible for me to Race at all without the fantastic support I've received from a dedicated sponsor base. I must thank all my Sponsors, backers, and my family for their unending support; and everyone who have helped me this year.
You all know who you are so THANK YOU one and all.
If anybody would like to offer ANY sort of support to a young rider and an exciting team please use my contact page and set the ball rolling.
You can download documents relating to the team and to myself below. As I have said, every little helps, so please get in touch!

7th Judicial District Attorney Faces Serious Allegations
Jan 10th @ 7:00 am in News by Scott Staley
Newest stories first.
MoCo courthouse changes. Tomorrow a new judge will walk into the Montrose County Courtroom as one steps down. After 10 years of service, Judge John Mitchel is stepping down to enter private practice and Assistant District Attorney Jerry Montgomery is leaving the prosecutor's office to fill the vacancy by Mitchel. Mitchel announced his retirement last year. And more changes in the Montrose Justice system are occurring as the District Attorney himself is facing criminal charges. Last week Myrl Serra publically announced his resignation. The Daily Press reports that the man chosen to fill in for Serra while his case proceeds won't be taking office tomorrow after all; a judge's order appointing Dan Hotsenpiller was rescinded Friday because Serra's resignation created a vacancy that only a governor can fill. On top of that, Montgomery's vacancy also leaves a void in the office. As of tomorrow, Montrose County doesn't have a DA or an Assistant DA.

Serra's Resignation Letter, Dated January 4, 2011
Serra's December 22, 2010 Arrest Affidavit
Serra arrested , again. Seventh Judicial District Attorney Myrl Serra was arrested again yesterday on allegation of harassment, protection order violation, and violation bond conditions. The Daily Sentinel reports that Serra is accused of contacting at least one of his three accusers in an ongoing sexual assault case against him. Serra was first arrested in September after being accused of victimizing several women who worked in the 7th Judicial District Offices. Local attorney Dan Hotsenpiller will take over the duties of 7th Judicial DA next month.

Serra arrested, again (original post). 7th Judicial District Attorney Myrl Serra was arrested today at his house by officers of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for violation of bond on certain protection orders. One of Serra's protection orders specifies no contact between him and the 7th Judicial District office or facilities associated with the office. It's unclear at this time how/what Serra exactly violated. The courthouse wouldn't confirm if he's still being held or whether he bonded out.
(Posted 3:59p Wednesday December 22, 2010)
Spot not vacant come January 10. While Myrl Serra remains the District Attorney, his restraining order and criminal charges are clearly not allowing him to perform his duties as such. Yesterday it was announced that local defense attorney and former prosecutor Dan Hotsenpiller has been appointed to fill the gap. The Daily Press reports that Hotsenpiller will take an oath of office January 10th and from that moment the governor is to withdraw the executive order declaring the office vacant. Serra was arrested in September on suspicion of forcible unlawful sexual contact, criminal extortion, and misdemeanor counts of unlawful sexual contact. He appears in court in February.
Source: Daily Press (Posted 6:55a Friday December 17, 2010)
7th Judicial District Attorney to be tried on 7 charges. Myrl Serra appeared in a Grand Junction courtroom this morning, and is being charged with unlawful sexual contact, Class 4 felony; three counts of indecent exposure, with at least one of the three alleged victims having worked in the DA's Montrose office; unlawful sexual conduct as a misdemeanor; criminal extortion, a Class 4 felony; and one count of official misconduct. Serra will be foreced under Colorado law to register as a sex offender if he's convicted of felony unlawful sexual contact. Apparently the prosecutor tried to increase his $5,000 bond to $50,000, but the judge declined. Serra's preliminary hearing will be February 11, 2011 in Montrose.

7th Judicial District Attorney submits DNA. The first person to submit a DNA sample under a new state law in Montrose County was the county's district attorney. Myrl Serra was arrested on suspicion of unlawful sexual contact, a felony, on September 30th. That's the day Colorado's Katie's Law took effect, requiring all people arrested on suspicion of a felony to submit a DNA sample. Sheriff Rick Dunlap told the Montrose Daily Press that Serra was the first person comply with the law. Under the law, if no felony charges are filed, DNA samples are destroyed after a year. Details in the case have been sealed. Previous court records show that a woman who said she had dated Serra asked for two restraining orders against him but both were denied.

Update:: Many details surround the case of the 7th Judicial District Attorney Myrl Serra, but one thing is for sure, he and a woman have had heated arguments and heated sex since 2001. The woman, Doris McCauley, was recently denied another restraining order against Serra. She was denied one in 2008. In both cases, judges ruled that she nor her daughter were in any danger. According to a timeline provided in court documents by McCauley, Serra and McCauley began dating in 2001 while she was still married. McCauley (according to documents) alleges Serra constantly harassed her after their breakups (via sending gifts and birthday cards) and on several occasions forced her to perform sexual acts (although she does agree, some other sexual acts were consensual). In several letters, over the years, McCauley tells the Montrose County Sheriff's Office, Serra himself, and his attorney in 2006, Andrew Peters, that she has asked Serra repeatedly to leave her and her family alone.
The arrest affidavit in the current investigation is sealed.
Serra was arrested last week and faces charges of unlawful sexual contact, indecent exposure, and official misconduct. He appears in court next month.
(Posted 12:34p October 5, 2010)
Update:: A restraining order sought against District Attorney Myrl Serra this year was denied. A woman filed a restraining order against Serra on September 20th. Restraining orders involving Serra that were sought in 2003 and 2008 were dismissed. The 7th Judicial District Attorney faces allegations of unlawful sexual contact, indecent exposure, and official misconduct. He's expected in Montrose District Court at 8:30a November 3rd in front of Mesa County Judge David Bottger.

Update:: 7th Judicial District Attorney Myrl Serra is set to appear in court on Wednesday November 3, 2010 at 8:30a. First Assistant Attorney General Robert Shapiro has been appointed as special prosecutor in the case. First Assistant Attorney General Jean Woodford has been appointed to oversee the 7th Judicial District District Attorney's Office.
(Posted 12:03p)
Update:: 7th Judicial District Attorney Myrl Serra has bonded out of jail. The Montrose County Clerk, Jodi Hanson has confirmed that. It's unknown at this time when Serra will appear in court.
(Posted 11:03a)
7th Judicial District Attorney Myrl Serra is in the Montrose County Jail this morning after he was arrested by agents of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation in connection with allegations of sexual and official misconduct. The 48-year-old was arrested on suspicion of unlawful sexual contact without consent and with force or threats; indecent exposure and first-degree official misconduct. The Colorado Attorney General's Office filed the case against Serra in Montrose County District Court today. The arrest affidavit is sealed. Lt. Gov. Barbara O'Brien appointed the attorney general as the special prosecutor for the 7th Judicial District. Under the order, the attorney general assumed prosecutorial authority in the district, which covers Montrose, Delta, Gunnison, Hinsdale, San Miguel and Ouray counties.

- 2 strips of bacon (diced)
- vegetable oil
- 2 lbs of ground turkey (dark meat)
- 1/2 red bell pepper (diced)
- 1/2 green bell pepper (diced)
- garlic powder
- black pepper
- marjoram
- celery salt
- cumin
- red chili flakes
- hot paprika
- 1 quart of chicken stock
- 2 cans of canellini beans (drained)
- 1 bag of frozen corn
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- salt
- lime wedges
In a large pre-heated pot (this makes a lot of food - enough to freeze even), add the bacon and begin rendering the fat. Drizzle a couple swirls of vegetable oil and add the ground turkey. After a couple of minutes, add the diced bell peppers and all of the seasonings except for the salt, which we'll add after everything else has joined the party. Next, add 1 quart of chicken stock, the drained cannellini beans, frozen corn, and 2 bay leaves. Bring pot to a simmer. I decided that I didn't really like the consistency and wanted it to be thicker which is the reason for the following step.
Now introducing (drumroll please) - beurre manie! It's simply a mixture of roughly equal parts butter and flour that you can add to thicken soups and sauces and such. It's very similar to a roux, except you would find preparing a roux as the first step in a recipe, whereas you can add beurre manie at any point. The key is that you MUST bring the liquid to a simmer/low boil after you add it in order to activate the starch and allow it to work its thickening magic.
Now you can begin to taste and adjust any of the seasonings. It's also at this point when you can add any salt, if needed, because there may or may not already be enough depending on the chicken stock you used. Leave the pot on low heat for approximately two hours. (No, it may not really need to cook for that long, but you definitely won't be disappointed because of it.) Be sure to stir it (and maybe sneak a spoonful) every now and then - the bottom may burn if left alone for too long (I think you can see a few dark specs in the pictures above...). When ready, serve with lime wedges to add a little extra oomph to the chili. This recipe makes a good amount of food so I froze some when I made this back in February (I can't believe it was that long ago). I just pulled it out of my freezer earlier this week and it was still as delicious as I remembered.

S.F.'s Longest Food and Drink Lines, Ranked

Teatro ZinZanni gives you something interesting to look at when you go out to dinner. Since eating is only one important aspect of the dining-out experience, this feat is no meaningless accomplishment. Over the years restaurateurs have offered up every sort of diversion to fill the between-courses void (and to take their customers' minds off the food when it eventually arrived) -- jesters, dancing girls, dinner-theater productions of Bye Bye Birdie. Most eatery owners, however, rest on a laurel-leaf bouquet of good food, attentive service, and the occasional aperitif poster. Single diners, adrift at their counter seats, study the china patterns and count wall sconces, while neighboring couples share desultory chitchat, sip an Oregon pinot gris, and wait. In such a climate, with the salad plates cleared and the conversation exhausted, how does the average diner occupy herself until the paprikash arrives?
Under Teatro ZinZanni's voluminous tent at the northeast corner of the Embarcadero, all she has to do is look around. This spangled, carved-wood pavilion comes out of the 80-year-old spiegeltent (mirrored tent) tradition, in which velvet, brocades, leaded glass windows, and wooden floors create a sumptuous setting for wine tastings, cotillions, and (in Teatro ZinZanni's case) cirque in its most eclectic, all-inclusive sense. Each distinctly adorned spiegeltent is crafted, pitched, and interlocked by hand without either tools or nails; this one, the Palais Nostalgique, was built in 1926, is 66 feet in diameter, and seats 250 diners-cum-revelers. After 50 years of hosting a variety of amusements at fairs and festivals across Europe, it was restored by its builder's grandson, Willy Klessens, and since 1998 has been the setting for Teatro ZinZanni.
Even the lobby bar is dazzling, full of glittering, plushly upholstered splendor: cut glass, gold leaf, hand-carved wood, and burgundy velvet, with elaborately framed oil paintings, crystal-bedecked chandeliers, voluptuous settees, and buxom barmaids with Gold Rush décolletage scattered hither and yon. Against one wall is Leonardo's Boombox, a da Vinci--inspired mechanique of animatronic temptresses, purple neon, trumpets, triangles, saxophones, kettledrums, cymbals, and an accordion. It's a fine accompaniment to the venue's specialty cocktails -- preferably the Zootini, an ice-cold, sweet-and-sour admixture of Vox vodka and green-apple liqueur, served in a martini glass with a wedge of pippin. Another tasty option is the Diva, in which the Vox is combined with lime, cranberry, and pineapple juices; its sweet, citrusy flavor is ideal to this lively setting.

Inside the grander, mirror-lined dining room/performance space, booths mark the tent's circumference while tables rest in concentric circles around a central ring, the setting for most of the suppertime antics. At its essence the show is one expertly played, eclectically assembled routine after another, a rambunctious burlesque show/supper club/circus with an edgy overlay of 21st-century attitude. A sallow, dissipated maitre d' out of Cabaret leads the festivities: a poker-faced trapeze act, a nimble-fingered juggler, a leopard-skinned contortionist, plate-tossers, a tap dancer, Maria Muldaur belting out "Dontcha Touch My Leg," and a variety of Fellini-esque entr'actes, all of it accompanied by a sprightly orchestra of accordions, mandolins, clarinets, trumpets, tubas, and euphoniums. In between, actors, magicians, and other lunatics stroll from table to table disguised as waiters and busboys, crawling under tables, performing sleight of hand, and adding further ambient vaudeville to the dining experience. What's more, a drag queen known as Cookie announces each course with appropriate flourish and thespian vigor: a conga line for the salad, a triumphal march for the entree, a no-holds-barred, bungee-jumping, plate-spinning brouhaha for the dessert.
The food, prepared and served in association with Taste Catering and Stars Bar & Dining, is often surprisingly good, especially considering that 250 diners get the same thing at the same time in the grand old institutional tradition. The first of the five courses is an elaborate antipasto featuring a silky, port-imbued pâté; spears of focaccia ribboned with baby fennel; a dollop of light, lemony cucumber mousse; a dynamite, curry-edged hummus; a selection of pungent Mediterranean olives, fresh radishes, snap peas, and caperberries; and plenty of flatbread to scoop it all up. The celery-root soup that follows is a disappointment: It's got a hint of spice here and there and an attractive drizzle of parsley oil on top, but overall it's bland and watery. The soup is followed by a pleasant enough endive-cress salad with plenty of Gorgonzola and caramelized walnuts but practically none of the wine-poached pear advertised on the menu.
The entree's next: your choice of roasted chicken breast or vegetarian risotto cakes. The former is tender but burdened with a tedious mushroom-prosciutto stuffing and unremarkable mashed potatoes (although the blue lake green beans alongside are impeccably al dente). The latter, one red-pepper cake and one basil cake, are discernible more by their color than their taste or gummy texture, but the roasted vegetables that share the platter are hearty and admirable. Coffee and dessert conclude the meal, with an excellently rich and dark-hued semisweet chocolate mousse presented on chocolate shortbread, drizzled with orange essence, and sprinkled with bits of crunchy caramel brittle. To accompany the meal you'll find a hundred-item wine list with 11 selections by the glass and 13 varieties of sparkling wine (the ideal beverage in these surroundings), including Schramsberg Napa Valley's lovely blanc de noir. Also nice: Anchor's warm, well-rounded Old Foghorn Barley Wine, one of nine beers available.

According to Scotsman Struan Stevenson, a member of the European Parliament, "wind turbines violate the principle of fairness by transferring vast amounts of money from poor to rich. They despoil our unique landscape and environment and through noise, the flicker effect and vibration, they abuse the health and welfare of people and animals that have to live near them."
Money has corrupted our legislators, be they Democrats — with former Gov. John Baldacci who initiated the process by executive order (where was the emergency?) — and now a Republican administration that stands idly by to let this scam go on. The Maine Public Utilities Commission and the Natural Resources Council of Maine have encouraged this scam.
I cannot find anyone representing the state willing to participate in a live radio or TV public debate about the merits, or lack thereof, relating to wind power.
How about it, Angus King? Rob Gardner? Dan Voorhees? Stacey Fitts?
Any one of them or all of them at once. It doesn't matter.
The truth is greater than them all.

Doug Pitt is the owner of ServiceWorld Computer Center, which recently celebrated 22 years in business. ServiceWorld is a past recipient of the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year Award.
ServiceWorld recently was recognized as the Springfield Business Journal's Philanthropic Business of the Year. Some of his fame comes from being the brother of Hollywood actor Brad Pitt.
Although Pitt starts his day out at ServiceWorld, it gets interrupted often due to his many philanthropic pursuits.
Much of his time rests in the continent of Africa. In the Spring of 2010, Doug was named the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Republic of Tanzania by President Jakaya Kikwete. This honor was the first Goodwill Ambassador position ever awarded by the country of Tanzania.
As Ambassador, Pitt works with NGOs, businesses and faith-based organizations that want to do business or provide humanitarian partnerships in Tanzania. Past efforts include clean water, schools, agriculture, sanitation and tourism. Pitt is currently working with the Ministry of Agriculture and U.S. partners on a food development program within Tanzania.
His work in the clean water space in East Africa garnered the attention of the government and many leaders. WorldServe performed 200 water projects in Tanzania in 2011 alone, and has brought the gift of clean water to almost 2 million people since Pitt joined their efforts almost six years ago.
He was at John Burroughs School Friday as an Ambassador of Goodwill for the local World Food Day Project St. Louis effort to pack more than 200,000 ready-to-eat meals for malnourished children in Tanzania.
This is what he had to say to Patch in an exclusive interview:
Patch.com: So how did you get involved in this project in the first place?
Doug Pitt: I'm a Missouri guy and actually born here in St. Louis and like anyone else, a citizen who volunteered to be part of this effort. All the food packaged is going to Tanzania and I am the Goodwill Ambassador there so I am thrilled to see these people be provided for.
My speciality is in the water process. Once we get water, it happens: food stations, medical dispensaries, faith based community. They teach irrigation and sanitation to the people. Once water is in place, communities start to develop and food is the next step.
Patch: Have you been to Tanzania often?
Pitt: I have. First, it's a beautiful place to visit. They have some of the greatest game parks in the World there.
Patch: How great is the need?
Pitt: The need is great. Democracy is very young there. The biggest struggle is just the physical size of the country. It is 2 1/2 the size of California. They don't have the road infrastructure to get every where. You take a 60,000 pound water rig and getting there is many times the chore it would be anywhere else.
Getting to towns is difficult, although we are getting closer every day.
Patch: How do you manage to work around your business career?
Pitt: Owning the company allows me the time to be flexible to work on these kinds of projects. I just went over there six years ago with the President (Bush) and some things just chose you.
I saw the immediate impact water made and I was hooked and a thrilled to be involved ever since. It definitely has become my life's work.

ASept. 5 column in the Koko-mo Tribune by Bill Stan-czykiewicz discusses the "high school counseling crisis in Indiana." I agree with Mr. Stan-czykiewicz. We certainly do have a high school counseling crisis, but that is only one component of a much older and far-reaching crisis: school funding and staffing. His main idea is that our public high schools don't have enough qualified counselors, and we don't use those whom we have wisely.
He is correct on both points. I taught at and directed both public and Catholic high schools at various times during my career. We need more counselors in all Indiana high schools, public and nonpublic. If our high schools now have about 539 students per counselor, the ratio is even worse than I thought. Each counselor used to have a caseload of about 250 to 300 students. Ideally, high school counselors should be free to focus entirely on the students' academic needs, college readiness and career counseling.
If that's happening anywhere in Indiana, I'm not aware of it. High school counselors are vulnerable. They are the only faculty members except administrators who don't have classes to teach. Principals often give them responsibilities that have nothing to do with school counseling. I was just as guilty as other principals.
If there is a high school principal anyplace who isn't forced to delegate administrative tasks to counselors, that place is not in Indiana! Here, principals have no realistic alternative. The demands on the principal's time are growing so fast even those with one or more assistant principals often can't keep up. Changing state and federal regulations have caused much of this, but not all of it.
So the workloads of school counselors keep growing, but their day is still just 24 hours long, just like the principal's and everybody else's. High school principals and counselors face similar frustrating dilemmas. If I hired another counselor, I had less money to pay teachers. Less money meant laying off teachers or not replacing teachers who resigned or retired.
