365 photos in 365 days
IF a picture says 1000 words then 2013 is the time for me to say a great deal. Some people begin the new year with resolutions. I'm beginning the new year with a regimented campaign.
This will be the year that I record each day one image at a time. Well, this will be the second year that I stop each day to take a picture.
Back in 2011, I began my first 365, inspired by the power of my then new iPhone 4 and the vague idea that I should do something with it. The old rule for photographers is that the best camera is the one you have with you. One of the unexpected results of the smartphone explosion is that if you give people a simple camera to take with them everywhere, then everywhere they go they will simply want to take pictures.
When I started my 365, I had vague ideas of improving my photographic skills. If I had to look for an interesting photo each day, was my logic, eventually that hunt would become a matter of course.
It turns out that taking a photo is just part of a 365 journey. When you set out to translate your life into a picture, you begin to focus on what parts of each day make it into the frame.
Mere moments become memories. The passing of each day creates a bigger picture. But there is more to it than that. This taking a picture of your life can be more about looking out than in.
Some people attack a 365 in a solitary manner. I prefer the social approach. Back in 2011, I started my journey by joining a Flickr group of more than 800 people. Each day as I share my life, I also found people who wanted to share theirs.
There was the businessman in Canada who documented with dignity the passing of his mother.
There was the woman in Michigan who took photos even on those days when she dealt with trauma of yet another miscarriage.
Then there was the man in England who used the project to tackle, and conquer, his battle with anxiety.
There is a bunch of us, a gang formed back in 2011, who continue to share our photos each day and our lives along with it.
There have been moments of happiness, moments of sadness and many moments that were, well, ordinary. Along the way, photos were shared and friendships were formed.
Some of the pictures were special. So were some of the connections. About a quarter of us who started that 365 project in 2011 made it to the end. A year, it turns out, is a very long time.
But many of us who did make it to finish line are back for one more time.
Taking a picture a day seems like an easy task. Bring out your camera, point and shoot. And some days it is easy. Some days you go interesting places and see interesting things.
Other days it all same old, same old. You take the same route to work, sit at the same desk and travel home in the very same way. Some days you take pictures you are proud of, other days you take pictures that are just about staying in the game.
There are people who like to predict the year ahead. I have no idea what 2013 will bring us, all I know is whatever it brings I'll be ready to capture with the camera in my iPhone 5.
This will be a year I look forward to a new challenge. It's a challenge that, when it's over, will let me put the year in perspective, one frame at a time.

I have never done a 365, but carrying a camera makes you look at the world in a different way. If you are looking to find interesting things to photograph you will find them, and your world becomes more interesting through those discoveries.
Philosopher says:
I can't take anyone seriously who uses the phrase 'my journey' in any sense other than literal, as in, 'my journey from Newcastle to Port Kembla'. Also, the rise of phone cameras means nothing more than a tsunami of asinine, poorly-composed, pointless and inept happy snaps.
Elliotwb says:
As a previous (failed) 365er, I'm back this year also. The first time I did it, it was all about being a better photographer. This time it's more about documenting my 30th year.
Good luck sticking it out in 2013 Rod!

It wouldn't hurt to have a quality .40S&W in your stable. Lots to choose from, too.
I recently picked up a Beretta PX4 storm 9mm and really like the gun.
Within a few months I might want to get another. My question is, should I get another 9mm? A Glock perhaps? Or broaden my horizons with a .40? I'm just thinking having the same ammo might be nice but it also might be nice to have a different caliber.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
It wouldn't hurt to have a quality .40S&W in your stable. Lots to choose from, too.
Obviously there is no right answer, it depends. My take is this: you do not NEED an extra caliber, but if you WANT an extra caliber enough to outweigh the disadvantages, which are small, then get an extra caliber. I have 9mms, am proficient in them, have a ton of ammo, and never saw any reason for another caliber. I want a 1911 and was contemplating getting a custom one in 9mm, but I'm going to go with the traditional 45acp, because it couldn't hurt to be proficient in more than one caliber and, frankly, why the hell not, life is short (and it seems a like sacrilegious to get a 1911 in 9mm).
I say a nice .40 cal Glock 23 gen 4
is always a nice gift to yourself. Awesome gun.
Is that the full size of medium sized? I shot the g19 a few times however I have a big hand and thinking maybe the full size would better suit my fanny.
I recently acquired a Sig P250C in .40 cal. It's a great gun, and is currently my daily go to gun.
13+1 rd. capacity, polymer frame and night sights.
What do you mean its your go to gun? LIke if someone is breaking in the house, you go straight to that gun.
I'm guessing it means that if someone was attacking him and he had time he'd run to that gun because thats his go to gun.... He was going to get his gun due to self defense and this is the one that he feels most comfortable with. I bet thats what it is.
Something to consider.
Having another caliber makes you more flexible. Many many many cops choose to carry the .40s&w, having one is invaluable in the rare case that SHTF. Having the ability to use .40 or 9 is helpful. But 9mm is cheap to shoot, so if you get another 9 I wont blame you.
And dude, get a Glock!
I currently only have a Ruger SR40C but getting this one has made me want 2 more Rugers: #1 a SR22, and #2 a LCP. I bought the SR40C so I would have a carry gun but now I realize it's too big for me to want to carry. I want an LCP to carry on the ankle. I want an SR22 just to have a cheap ammo eater.
Due to the price of ammo I would get another 9 mm. Shot and love the 45acp but not the price of ammo. I have a G17 and just put a G19 in lay away. I'm happy.
Buy a cz 75! Better than the glock in every way IMO . Shot 250 rounds without a hiccup about 3 hours ago out of my cz75. My brother has a g17 and it felt inferior to the cz in every way.

They do make it in the 40S&W
Thanks guys, how much does the CZ 75 cost? More than the glock 17? Also what kind've safety features does it have?
Another question I have is.
If I'm deciding to get another caliber, should I just skip the .40 and get a .45? Have a wider range? I know the ammo is about 75% more than 9mm though. So I'm kind've torn.
Some people claim that the .40S&W generates more felt recoil than does the .45ACP. Two of my M&P's are in .40S&W and .45ACP and are very close in feel and barrel length. To me, they fell pretty much the same. If you were torn and ammo price is not a concern, then I believe it comes down to what feels best in your hand and which one you shoot the best. Both are proven man stoppers with the edge going to the .45ACP because it's been around so long and has seen a lot of action. What it might come down to is are you going to carry the gun? This introduces a whole bucket of questions and criteria to consider. Other than that if you are just of a mind to punch paper, and money was not a concern, go with the .45ACP. If, on the other hand, you do intend to also carry the gun, then the other factors come into play.
If it helps you, I carry a gen3 Glock 23, which is a .40S&W, and I also have 9mm's and a .45 in my carry stable. But my primary carry gun is the one I just mentioned.
Thanks for the advice, I'm considering the .40S&W however everyone says, its too close to a 9mm. I'm torn because I will have to buy separate ammo than my 9mm. Could be good and bad. BUt i'm also thinking that having two 9mm might be a waste of money. Why not change it up.
FYI, I live in CA, I don't have a carry weapon as its too hard to get a CCW. These will mainly be in my stable.
Cz-75b or a cz-75 semi compact can be picked up for around 470-500 if you do a little digging. The safety features are different on some of the models,so look into the one you want. I love my cz75 semicompact 9mm, but like said before it also comes in 40s&w. I just saw one sell for 375$ at buds gun shop. Do yourself a favor and buy a cz.
would u say these are the most superior or hand guns?
I have included 2 websites for you to look at, these sites give you the option to use a conversion barrel in certain brands of handguns. I own a glock 32 357sig for carry and run a lonewolf 40 barrel in it for range practice - because the 357 sig rounds are very expensive and the 40 recoil is just a tad less than the 357sig. I can also run a 40/357 to 9mm conversion barrel in it along with g/19 mags and shoot 9mm so I basically have 1 gun that will shoot 9mm-40S&W & 357sig.
I used glock as my example because I own one but they do make conversions for springfield, sig, S&W and others, this is just a option for you to look at and think about.
I bought the glock for carry only, but for my range gun I have to agree with Jmessmer the CZ is they way to go - either 9mm or 40 S&W you will be satisfied 100%

I'm thinking of buying something in 40 cal to have more of a variety. Maybe a glock .40 cal or maybe a spring field? options are endless.
What do you guys think?
I would go with the 40 S&W. I have numerous handguns and only a couple are the same caliber. I have a couple of 22s, 45s, and 38sp. The rest are all different calibers. I just like the variety! It also helps to reload.

got my iphone working so far.. with o2 germany.
The thing that im wondering about is what that little blueish symbol next to my carrier name is.. it has an "E" on it. Does that mean that im connected with edge?
When i turn wifi on i get the wifi symbol, but when i turn it off the "E" appears in its place.
Im just wondering cause i dont want edge to be active all the time since i dont want to get a shock at the end of the month with my phonebill.
Does thet"E" just mean that i could use edge or does it mean that im actually connected all the time via edge?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
The new iPad 5 may be 1.5mm thinner than the iPad 4 when it launches, if leaked schematics published by a French website turn out to be real.
The iPad 5 will also have a reduced width but a larger display, according to Nowhereelse.fr. It is thought that the reduced width is down to a thinner bezel around the edge of the screen of the iPad 5.
According to the site, an Apple subcontractor who worked at a machining company that is building the rear shell panel for the new iPad leaked the schematic.
It appears from the leaked images that the iPad 5 will measure 7.9mm thick, compared to 9.4mm currently, however, Nowhereelse suggests that doesn't include the depth of the screen.
The site concludes that the iPad 5 will measure 232mm long and 178.5mm wide, compared to 241.2mm long by 185.7mm wide for the iPad 4.
You can read the (somewhat amusing) Google Translation of the story here.
Recently reports have claimed that schematics have leaked for the iPhone 5S, as reported here.
You can see the leaked schematics below.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

HARRISONBURG, Va., Jan. 9, 2012 - Junior guard A.J. Davis (Columbus, Ohio/Harmony Community), junior forward Andrey Semenov (St. Petersburg, Russia/Blue Ridge School) and senior guard Humpty Hitchens (Chillicothe, Ohio/Chillicothe) combined for 53 points as James Madison topped Hampton 74-67 for a non-conference men's basketball win Monday night at the Convocation Center.
JMU snapped a three-game losing skid and improved to 8-7 with its first victory at home since defeating The Citadel on Dec. 19. Hampton fell to 6-10.
The Dukes used a 15-0 run in the first half to take a nine-point lead into the break. Hampton slowly chipped away at the lead, tying the game at 51-51 and taking the lead at 54-53 with 10 minutes remaining.
It proved to be the only lead of the half for the visitor. The Dukes reclaimed the lead on a jumper by junior guard Devon Moore (Columbus, Ohio/Northland). Two free throws and a three-point field goal by Semenov made it a 7-0 swing.
After a Hampton three-pointer by Darrion Pellum made it 60-57 with 8:13 to go, Madison poured on nine more unanswered points with a dunk by Davis, a tip-in by freshman forward Enoch Hood (Norfolk, Va./Booker T. Washington), another Semenov three and a pair of free throws by Hitchens. That put the Dukes up 69-57 with five minutes to go with a 16-3 run after the Pirates took the lead.
Hampton managed to cut the margin down to five at 70-65 with 1:19 remaining on a David Bruce tipped rebound. After a JMU missed shot, the Pirates had a chance to cut the deficit closer but a Davis steal led to a free throw by junior guard Alioune Diouf (Powder Springs, Ga./McEachern). On the miss of the second attempt, freshman guard Arman Marks (Louisville, Ky./Eastern) tipped the rebound to Hood, who hit two more free throws after being fouled as the Dukes finished the win 74-67.
Davis posted his sixth 20-point game of the season and filled the score sheet with 21 points, five boards, three assists and JMU's first five-steal performance in nearly two years. Semenov pulled out of a personal 8-for-30 shooting slump over his previous five games to go 6-for-8 with 17 points while hitting all three attempts from the arc. Hitchens added 15 as the trio combined for 72 percent of JMU's offense.
David Bruce came off the bench for Hampton to record a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds while going 7-for-13 from the floor. Pellum, Hampton's leading scorer for the season, had 12 points and a trio of three-pointers, but was limited to three points and 12 minutes in the second half after collecting his fourth foul with 17 minutes to go. Mike Tuitt had team highs of 15 points and five assists.
JMU shot 45 percent from the field to break a shooting slump of 37 percent over the last five and a half games. Madison topped 70 points in regulation for the first time since an 86-69 win over Rider in the fourth game of the season on Nov. 25.
The Dukes limited the Pirates to 40 percent shooting overall and 33 percent from the arc (8-for-24). JMU improved to 6-1 when it leads its opponent in rebounds after posting a 39-36 advantage.
After scoring the first two baskets of the game, Hampton grabbed control and used a 10-2 run to take a lead as large as nine at 24-15 midway through the first half. JMU responded with a 9-1 run, capped by a Semenov three-pointer and Davis steal and slam to pull within one.
The Pirates connected on consecutive treys by Christopher Tolson and Wesley Dunning to move back ahead by seven at 31-24 with seven minutes to go. However, this time the Dukes held the Pirates scoreless for four minutes to record a 15-0 run, which included threes by Hitchens and Marks.
A jumper by Semenov capped the run with the Dukes leading 39-31 with 3:26 to go. The Dukes added another jumper by Marks and a three by Hitchens to take a 44-35 lead into the locker room, their most points scored in a half since a Dec. 22 win at George Washington.
Hitchens led all players with 13 points in the half while Davis added 13 and Semenov had nine. JMU shot 52 percent in the half and hit five of its 10 attempts from the arc. Pellum led Hampton with nine points.
JMU returns to Colonial Athletic Association action when it travels to Richmond on Thursday for a 6 p.m. game at VCU to be broadcast nationally on ESPNU.
NOTES: It was the first meeting since 1996 for the in-state opponents separated by just 200 miles as JMU improved to 3-0 in the all-time series... in addition to its overall shooting slump over the last five and a half games, Madison was 3-for-33 from the three-point line in its previous two games before hitting 7-of-18 (39 percent) against Hampton... the Dukes topped six made threes for the 13th time in 15 games... Semenov went 3-for-3 from the arc for the second time this season (The Citadel, Dec. 19)... coming off career highs of 11 points and 10 rebounds against Northeastern, Hood made the first start of his young career and posted six points and eight boards in 29 minutes... Davis played 40 minutes to go the distance for the first time in his collegiate career... with 15 games in the books, JMU will be looking for its first win this year against a team with a winning record on the date of the game the Dukes travel to VCU (11-5) Thursday and host George Mason (12-4) Saturday.

This morning, SNY was kind enough to invite me to walk across the street and speak with Ted Berg on The Baseball Show, previewing the Dodgers / Mets series starting tonight. As usual, I spoke entirely too fast, and my name wasn't pronounced quite correctly, but on the whole I think it went pretty well, and I hope to do it again. Good times.
(Having trouble embedding the actual video here, so this will link you over to the MetsBlog.com version of it).
Of course, the real news today is that Jonathan Broxton was indeed placed on the disabled list due to his elbow concerns, causing both Kenley Jansen to be recalled and my comment in the video that Broxton might be available this weekend to be immediately invalidated. Broxton to the DL was expected, but uncertain, after his MRI reportedly found no structural damage. Still, it didn't come back 100% clean either – elbow bruise and bone spurs – but after a lifetime of throwing 90 MPH heat, you could find something in even the heathiest pitcher's arm. So we'll wait to see what's really going on there, but at the very least, this gives him a chance to get out of the spotlight and recuperate. In the short term, it's hard to argue that Jansen isn't an upgrade over Broxton, even if Jansen's one minor league appearance (three earned runs in one inning) didn't go that smoothly.
I'm headed off to the game shortly. You'll recognize me as the only person in the stadium who cares enough to yell at Aaron Miles.

Narrator: This is Science Today. Asymmetries, or rather differences, between the left and right side of the brain routinely show up in human brain imaging and yet, Larry Cahill, a professor of neurobiology and behavior at the University of California, Irvine, says researchers often can't explain why.
Cahill: The sense of the whys is the big 64 thousand dollar question, not just in this immediate area, but in the whole area of human asymmetry. My guess is that as the cortex gets bigger and bigger and more complicated as you go across species, we're going to more and more processing within a hemisphere relative to across a hemisphere
Narrator: Cahill recently found that men and women use different sides of the brain to store long-term, emotional memories.
Cahill: There's been half a dozen or so brain imaging studies that have shown differences between the brains between men and women in various domains, language or mathematical ability. It's kind of like a few raindrops before a major storm hits. This is another raindrop.
Science Today, I'm Larissa Branin.

Voter turnout in Michigan lower than expected
By Mark Brush
Outgoing Secretary of State Terry Lynn Land had expected 52% of eligible voters to show up at the polls yesterday. The unofficial tally stands at 45% today.
The turnout results remain "unofficial" until they are certified by the Board of State Canvassers later this month.
Of the 7.28 million registered to vote, 3.3 million did so.
Land issued a statement saying, "I have long stressed the value of having your voice heard by casting a ballot, and so I applaud everyone who took the time to vote."
So what do you think? Is 45% enough for a good functioning democracy?
We'll have a breakdown of the counties with highest turnout soon.

Denver >Bars & Clubs > Rockbar
3015 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO | Directions 8020639.740347 -104.952079
Monday To Sunday From 05:00 PM To 02:00 AM
Neighborhoods: Northeast Denver, City Park
The Denver of Olde – Rockbar offers a piece of Denver that seems to be fading away. 70s, seedy, Western. Think Denver Nuggets throwback jersey. I liked the mirrors and the prices. Post-bar snowball fights. Still trying to figure out how it's possible to spend $90 in a night there. I suppose at Rockbar, anything is possible.
Save yourself the time, money, & agony – Oh my gosh... where do I begin? My whole experience with the folks at " m inc" has been awful to say the least. I recently threw a party for my husband at Rockbar and had Mezcal "cater" some appetizers for my guests. Based on my experiences in the past I was expecting a quality result. BOY WAS I WRONG! When I arrived and saw what was passed off as food I was dumbfounded. I had two cold trays of soggy "quesadillas" and one bowl of chips and guac to feed 30 people (And if I tell you how much they charged me per person you would be dumbfounded too!) Though I should have seen the writing on the wall as the "planning" process left a lot to be desired. From the beginning I could not lock down specifics from the girl that apparently m inc has employed as their key contact for events/catering. Not only did I not receive what we had agreed on in writing but there was a complete lack of follow-up on her part.
To say the least I DO NOT recommend using the folks at m inc for ANY of your event planning/catering needs!! Not only was my food cold & soggy I was rushed out of the area that I "reserved" at Rockbar... this was after purchasing 2 bottles of Mad Dog for what was to be their "bottle service" the only service I got out of the folks over there was a swift kick in the backside as they shooed my out the door because they told me they were expecting 300-400 people for the evening! Being good natured and noticing that my friends were having a good time on the dancefloor I allowed to them the space.. I can tell you I left at 1:00 a.m. and the space that I previously occupied was never used. Seesh!
KRUNK NASTY – Everything you've heard is true and this a great alternative to the dt and lodo scene of a club/bar that plays great muzik and not just top 40 garbage...
RockBar is the Radest bar in denver, PERIOD.... Sick ACEE Dj's that spin metal to gangsta rap and everything inbetween. Great Drinks (no weak poors) and even better people watching. So get a Mickeyz tall boy and get on the dance !!!flO!!!
Normally pretty cool scene but could do without the 'tude – Rockbar is a cool place to get away from the same ole Denver scene, especially the downtown scene, and has been a recent fav to drop in on the weekends. There is a nice electic group of people and I have thoroughly enjoyed the music and drinks. It's got a great dive feel, cool retro-arcade games you played as a kid in your local pizza joint, and did I mention the music?
Sadly, me and a crew went up here last week after dining out for Project Angel Flight. At the restaraunt, they gave us these flyers for Rock bar for a 1/2 price drink. We weren't planning on going out, but as Rockbar is a fav, & they seemed to be participating in the event, we'd decided to go. I ordered a double & was told that they wouldn't honor the coupon, which was fine, except that I got the biggest 'tude from the Celo-looking bartender about it straight off the bat once I handed him the coupon. He continued to lip at me about it & all I said was, "That's fine. what do I owe you?" After I paid him, I told him that he looked like Celo, and he lipped at me more. I realize Rockbar is supposed to have a bit edgy feel about it, but if you are participating in a fundraiser event, is it really necessary to be a righteous @#$ to your patrons, even when there is no reason for it to begin with? Why be rude to your customers when you have a practically empty bar?
Overall, the other bartenders & staff I have encountered there are cool, but it really left a sour note with me that this particular one was so unnecessarily rude. Hopefully if you go, this guy won't be there.
Like-minded late 20's Hispter Scene, great for dancing, a nosh, or some classic metal – Outwardly, Rockbar is at first a dubious choice - nestled in an old, low-rent looking budget motel on East Colfax... 3 things strike you as you walk in the door; Scarface-esque, red, tuck-and-roll vinyl booths, the huge dance floor on the left - ringed with booths, and a tiny little bar offering a small selection of canned beer. Then it becomes apparent how unique this place is in comparison to most of the drudgery at present in the Denver hipster bar scene. Rockbar aims to please with a jukebox boasting a range of Kkill 'Em All era Metallica, Run-DMC relics and Sabbath, to a DJ kicking out enough pseudo-indie hiphop to please the trendy city crowd. Love them though - a mix of pure Goths, various types of musicians, punky/ indie girl ala Suicide Girl wannabe's, aged frat boys, small, tattooed intense men, and tall Scandinavian girls dressed like babydolls... I couldn't have been happier for the people-watching. We ordered a basket of fries for $3 - the skinnies were brought out quickly, super-hot, and tasted great. We drank cans of Newcastle for somewhere around $4 each which was great albeit though it was after requesting a much-needed plastic cup from the bar. There might be a few of you like me that are a bit too prissy to drink from a can, but it didn't wear the place down too much. In fact - I can't wait to whip-out my black-eye liner, straighten my hair and find a teeny black concert t-shirt from my teens and return to Rockbar summarily. I'd recommend this place to anyone that was a hair-band kind of sort through the early 90s at least but have (mostly) moved past the need to wear an Axl-style bandanna, or anyone with a great appreciation for loud music, requisite distortion, a proletariat palette and love for the body ink. Also a great place for people-watching and more importantly ? dancing!! Not enough places like this in the city! It seemed to become exponentially busier after 11:30 so I?d suggest getting there earlier if you want a booth.
East Colfax watering hole raises the retro bar with a salute to the unforgettable '70s. – In Short
Lava lamps, orange- and silver-foiled wallpaper and floor-to-ceiling mirrors all remind visitors that old is newly in vogue at this groovy bar celebrating the 70s. Throwback hipsters jive to the sounds of heavy metal and classic rock--Metallica, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin--while tossing back PBR and Schlitz beers or cheap, but potent cocktails. The restored wood-parquet dance floor is packed with dancers rocking out as the DJ spins.

GREAT FOOD!!!!!! – this place has great mexican food and a its great on your pockets. the chicken is nice and tender not like other places. The drinks are also GREAT!!! its happy hour all day. For Valentine's Day they are adding new dishes and new drinks. Don't miss it!!!!
Brunch to be avoided – We had brunch at Los Pollitos II this Sunday, and I am now recovering from a rather unplesant bout of gastrointestinal unpleasan tness after having a breakfast style burrito. The dinners may be one thing, but at least from our experience, stay away from the brunch.
worst mexican restaurant – this is definitely the worst mexican restaurant in parkslope. my margarita tasted like it came from a margarita mix and dilluted with water. i had to put plenty of salt and black pepper on my food. the service was so slow that i had to ask for salt and pepper twice, margarita-twice, napkins-twice and also had to remind them that we ordered guacamole. when the guacamole was finally served, it had no taste. it was supposed to come with chips, but the chips never came. when they gave us the appetizers we ordered, they took our appetizer plates. we were like "huh?". i will never go back to this restaurant again.
my best birthday – celebraiting my birthday at los pollitos patio II was an excellent idea . sipping on large pitcher of lime margarita w/ molcajete arrechera .serve in traditional stone bowl w/ strips of skirt steak, cactus, scallions, cheese, a spice red sauce and conr tortillas . before you go you have to try a nice cup of mexican hot chocolate together whit and delicious flan. overall the food , drinks and sevice werte super . next time i go im and my friend the rolisserie chiken that everyone talks abaond
best margaritas – if, you want to have a good time just go to lo pollitos 2. the have awsome margaritas. great and autentic mexican fane. the staff is friendly the service is ok.
LOS POLLITOS IS A RIP OFF! CHECK THE BILL BEFORE PAYING! DON'T TRUST THEM! – What is the Mexican term for being taken advantage of? Los Pollitos II is a scam. For about ten years I have been going to Los Pollitos about once a month. It was close and used to be an endearing and cheap neighborhood place with no pretension. Now? Forget it. It has been getting progressively worse in recent years and I have been having quite a few miserable experiences ? mostly service related. But after my most recent visit, last night will be the last time.
Why is that? For a variety of reasons.
The constant nagging to order something you don?t want ?Waiter: Are you sure that you don?t want guacamole? Maybe I will bring it??
Arguing with you to order a larger serving of something you do not need or want. ?No, we said a small pitcher of margaritas. We really don?t want a large pitcher (for the third time).?
But this is the big reason: They charge a 20% gratuity (unannounced) added on a bill for PARTY OF TWO AFTER the TAXES. That is a roughly a 30% service charge on the original bill! They total the bill, add tax and then add twenty percent on top of that. How unethical. What are we, tourists in Times Square? We are a quiet couple from the neighborhood! So now we are tipping on the tax. So, we entered ?already included? on the tip line on the card receipt and signed of on the total. IT GETS WORSE! They then added another 20% to the credit card!! They DOUBLED the bill with service charges!! For two people! What would they do for a party?
What is with that? A 30% service charge! Years ago, one could go into Los Pollitos II and order a taco and they would treat you well. Now, if you are not ordering a huge amount of food, the treat you with a complete disregard. And if you do order substantially, they gouge you!
So some advice: BEWARE! CHECK THE BILL BEFORE PAYING AT Los Pollitos II!! DO NOT USE YOUR CREDIT CARD!!
Don't trust the waiter – Normally I don't mind these kinds of things but... We stopped by this place on a Sunday for drinks and food. We came in because a sign out front said "Happy Hour $4.75 Margaritas." We went in and asked if it was happy hour with $4.75 drinks, the waiter said yes of course. So we sat down and ordered drinks and an appetizer. The margaritas were good. The nachos were small but edible. We asked for chips and received a very small basket and about two ounces of salsa at a cost of $2.65 with no refills. We had planed on staying for dinner and ordering another round of drinks but luckily we decided to leave. We asked for the check and of course the drinks were not happy hour prices, $13 for two instead of $9.50. We asked the waiter to fix it and he took the check back. Another waiter came over and explained to us that they had taken the chips off and that they did not have happy hour and that the sign was merely to bring people into the restaurant. Normally I don't mind this type of thing and I will just pay the extra cost. However, we specifically asked before being seated about the drinks only to have them turn around and tell us that the sign was not correct and that it is out there only to bring in people. The waiter even went so far as to say "you know how it is, you understand right?" We could not believe that he was actually saying that it was obvious that the sign was a lie, we were dumb for relying on the sign and their statement, and that they were doing us a favor for giving us the terrible chips for free. We just paid the check and left so that we did not have to deal with them anymore. We will never go back.

what can i say – THE ONLY THING GOOD HERE IS THE SALAD
Horrible Experience – Quoted 45 min. Waited over an hour. Then once we were seated we were not acknowledged for 15mins. until we asked another server 'who' our server was. After 30mins we finally got drinks. The manager said she'd take care of us but after we got drinks we never saw her again. The food was good. The check came not divided like we had asked and they added on 15% gratuity! I understand the gratuity but not when we didn't have a server and considering the situation. I had read the other reviews before going to this location & I thought there was no way that an Olive Garden could ever be this bad. . . but they are TRUE! This location is HORRIBLE and we will never return.
What can I say? It's Olive Garden... – Having visited Olive Garden recently, I have to say I was sorely disappointed in the wait staff! We asked for many things we were never given, and when we asked what one dish contained, the waitress rolled her eyes as if she had just had enough of us! Never were we rude to her or bothered her in any way. She may have been having a bad day, I'll give her that. But, there is never a reason to roll your eyes at someone and act like the world is ending when waiting is YOUR JOB!
The food was okay. It's Olive Garden, after all.
Traditional dishes and all -you-can-eat salad, soup and bread sticks are the draw at this upscale-casual Italian restaurant. – In Short
Established in 1982, this chain gained a following for its laid-back atmosphere and generous portions. Patrons settle into comfortable booths and tables in dining rooms with plants, artwork and décor reminiscient of the villas in the Tuscan countryside. Starters include scampi, sausage or pepperoni pizza, and several soup choices, as well as a signature seafood dip (crab, shrimp, cheese and marinara). Entrees include classics like lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parmigiana. There are also "Garden Fare" options, which promise 30 percent fewer calories.
An okay Value.... – Seems they have increased their prices for the same portions...but the food was very good. I had the meat ravioilis with the 3 sauces (tomato/meat, my favorite; basil pesto; white-garlic sauce ). The server did not know the name of the different pastas, but the service was prompt and the food was hot. Overall, a good experience, but getting on the pricy side.
Why the wait?Why wait? – The one thing I hate more then waiting for a seat in a resturant is waiting for a seat in a bad resturant when there are plenty of empty tables!
The worst culprit of this is the Olive Garden. With its awful tasting sauce and it horrible wine (that they try to shove done your throat) it should be seating people as they enter. Regardless of the time of day I have always had to wait to be seated. Has the place been full? Never! If it wasn't for my pregnant wife's crazy cravings I would never have set foot in an Olive Garden again.
Instead of waiting, for nothing, go to a Gavi's which is probably the closest thing to northeast (USA) Italian food here in Tucson.
THE WORST!! – I went there THREE times with coworkers. Each time i ordered my favorite simple dish Chicken Cutlet parmigiana with spaghetti w/marinara sauce on the side. Service took forever sauce tasted like it came out of a can food was cold and chicken cutlet was dripping with oil deep fried when it should be baked. I'm from new york . I hear however the one on oracle is better. Havent tried it yet.
Never again!
Best in Town? – This place is the biggest insult to Italian Americans. This is not Italian food- wake up people! I feel so sorry for those who think this is good food. You were probably raised on Chef Boyardee! And Caruso's and Gavi aren't much better. If you doubt me, go to Italy and you will see. In fact, the food is so good, you will not want to come back!
Chain store – What can you expect from a chain restaraunt? Well how about the same mediocre meal everytime for starters. The beauty of Olive Garden is that all their meals come in frozen, and their masterful chefs delicately thaw them out and make them oh so perfect. I still can't understand how such a place could use frozen food, but then again theres always mcdonalds
To AMerican – How can Olive Garden be considered one of the best Italian restaurants? Come on folks, obviously you have not eaten real Italian food!
The only thing they have going for them is the salad...

100% of the CEO
Todd Shelton
I worked at Lagasse full-time for more than a year
Pros – I really can't think of any. you get to go home after everything is done.. you don't get yelled at after 2:00PM because the boss is long gone by then.
Cons – Lets see where to start. As I had said H/R is a horrible dept. in this company. They harass the workers to the point that they quit. If you go to the higher up's in H/R you are told that YOU are the problem. I finally had to leave because of health issues from my job at lagasse. This is not a fair or nice place to work!
Advice to Senior Management – Close this branch up and start over. This is one of the worst places to spend any time and upper management is to blind to see.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Lagasse full-time for more than a year
Pros – Great building, kind coworkers. Ability to work with multiple departments and learn a lot. Very community oriented and the associates put in admirable efforts with charities all over the country.
Cons – Leadership doesn't really put their foot down to make many decisions and the company seems to be run by a bunch of individuals pulling things in various directions and no one seems to have a sense of what the company is or where it's going.
Advice to Senior Management – Put all resources into an attempted project, rather than split everyone up, and have them all try to accomplish the same thing in different ways without any group actually having the right resources. Invest more heavily in IT. The company makes almost all decisions manually, and inconsistently. And must type in what's happening operationally into a very antiquated ERP that doesn't suit the needs of the business at all.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Lagasse full-time for more than a year
Pros – When I first Started working for this company in 2011 it was great....
Cons – The Supervisors show favoritism towards certain employees, 20 cent raise every April, 15 lines per hour maximum, will get reprimanded for not doing over that amount...
Advice to Senior Management – There should be some type of incentive for good employees, pay more attention to what the Supervisors and Plant Managers are doing wrong instead of the Distribution Associates on certain shifts....
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Lagasse
Pros – Nothing really coming to mind...
Cons – For starters, the office building is incredibly small and dusty with half of the rooms on the second floor being unused. They are an incredibly low budget company that uses an outdated computer program called TREND which constantly freezes while you are on a call with one of what seems to be many of their impatient customers.
They have a quick turnover because they only hire through temp agencies and dismiss the notion to actually hire anyone directly. As for the people who have been working there for more than a couple of months (which aren't very many), they remind me of high-schoolers, emailing gossip back and forth all day instead of assisting customers and letting calls build up in queue.
As far as the actual daily tasks, I sat at my desk for 8 hours everyday staring at my computer screen answering questions about janitorial and food service products. It took everything in my power not to fall asleep or completely die from boredom.
The managers like to think they are laid back,but the the truth is they are just silently judgmental if you don't kiss up to them. The pay is very little also, about half of the people working there had second jobs.
Advice to Senior Management – Please update your software, office equipment and furniture. It'll be 2013 soon.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Lagasse
Pros – Benefits of the parent company.
Cons – Good ole boys club is alive and well - Senior management can't make a decision to save their lives.
Backstabbing is the norm. Work life balance is non-existent. They talk about the importance of culture - but they don't live it.
Advice to Senior Management – Seek professional help. Learn to listen to the customers and your own people. The sellers are out competing for the business and fending off competition...you would be wise to listen to what we have to say
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Lagasse
Pros – Good salary and comm. structure. Freedom of working independantly, not micro-managed. Company stresses the importance of family time vs. work time.
Cons – Little communication between middle management and corp. executives. The pay structure is changing on a yearly basis.....only to benifit the reps. (sure)
Advice to Senior Management – Middle management strong, upper management needs to engage more than once a year with acct. execs., to communicate future changes with more of a timeline, not just springing it on at the annual meeting.
I worked at Lagasse
Pros – Largely recession proof. People are great to work with and believe in work hard - play hard.
Cons – Senior management often manage by seat of the pants
Advice to Senior Management – Listen to the people more. Let the people you hire do their job.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Skyrim players have established a sense of ownership over their characters. With an amalgam of abilities, magical spells, armor, and quest decisions, wanderers of the northern lands have shaped their Tamrielic personalities to such a fine point that it would seem absurd to delve even deeper. With Bethesda's newest DLC add-on Hearthfire, this sense of ownership extends beyond the character and into the world of Skyrim itself.
Hearthfire allows players to construct their own homes outside the walls of each hold's primary cities. Customization of these houses surpasses that of the city homes, imparting upon players the ability to shape the very structures of their retreats. By speaking to (and possibly completing favors for) individual Jarls or stewards, players can acquire up to three plots of land spread between Falkreath, The Pale, and Hjaalmarch. Customization options will reward the player with personal forges, alchemy tables, arcane enchanters, and more, all in the name of convenience. A fair amount of gold is required to realize one's dream home, so new characters will have a little saving to do. However, higher-level characters with ample money will often find these new homes superfluous, as they most likely already have all the gear and crafting apparatus they could ever need. This catch-22 relationship between funds and necessity makes Hearthfire a bit obsolete for players seeking a worthy successor to the stellar
As far as personalization options, Hearthfire offers up a host of new chores and activities to the player. The ability to adopt up to two children (who can be found throughout Skyrim) imparts a higher level of attachment to one's character. Protecting each house (and possibly each family, if monogamy isn't your thing) from skeevers, giants, and dragons will add even more to the colossal quest lists of Skyrim.
While the sense of ownership does grow in this DLC, the individualism the game is known for does not. Each house starts as a cottage, and more wings can be added on with more materials and gold. The unfortunate thing is, everyone's houses will look the same. This isn't a huge problem considering the single player nature of the game, but it would have been a blast to customize several unique houses across multiple characters in order to see everything the add-on has to offer. The three plots of land also seem limited after a while. Ideally, plots could be purchased anywhere across the province of Skyrim to fit the character. I would have loved to build a house for my Argonian in the stagnant marshlands near Riften, while my Nord would feel at home closer to the ice of Winterhold. I would undoubtedly have forked over another five or ten or fifteen dollars solely for this option. The design constraints of such a massive world are enough of an excuse to forgo this option, but it would have increased the longevity of the Skyrim real estate scene remarkably.
It's just as hard as ever to jump back into Skyrim without spending an extra ten hours wandering the world. New players may find the houses optimal for a fallback crafting and recuperating location, while more experienced players will enjoy the characterization associated with one's own plot of land. The inexpensive DLC does exactly what it was meant to: entice players with even more ways to lose themselves in the best open world video games have ever seen.
