Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by David Love my poles, very well designed, well balanced and priced I have carpal tunnel syndrom and have used various other poles in the past. The angle of the hand holds is perfect for me. Other poles cause my hands to "go to sleep" after a very short time, but I can hike for hours and hours with no problems with these. I also like the shape of the shafts (elliptical). I have bent 2 other poles (different brands) when the tips have been caught in rocky places, and the elliptic shape of the shafts of these will insure that I will never bend another pole in that manner. I am on my third set of Contour Elliptic poles not because they were damaged or defective, but because I have lost 2 sets in the confusion of group hiking in far from home places. Hope I don't loose another pole or poles as If I do I will certainly buy another set. They are worth every cent I paid for them, but I would rather spend my money on other things. January 14, 2014

Gen4 Glock owners- if you own one please respond
I've seen many, many threads here saying the Gen 4 G19's have ejection problems, and many people saying they work great. My dealer says they work great, and that the issue is history. I tend to think the issue is not as bad as it seems here on Glock Talk, simply because I suspect people are more likely to post regarding a problem gun. Before I purchase my next G19 and /or G26, I'd like to know how widespread the "problem" really is.
Let's do a quick survey. Gen4 Glock owners only please:
1. Which model(s) do you own?
2. Which fits your situation:
A. I have no problem with this handgun3. Notes/comments regarding your situation and your thoughts on this issue.
B. I have ejection problems with this handgun
C. I had ejection problems, Glock (or armorer) fixed it, and it now rocks.
D. I had ejection problems, Glock (or armorer) fixed them, but it still isn't right.
Selfishly, I know your responses will be useful to me. I hope they will be useful to others also.
Update: Wow. Lots of great responses. Thank you all for responding, especially regarding an issue which has been beaten to death. It's good to see all of these opinions together in one thread.
Overwhelmingly Gen 4 is either not a problem at all... or for those with early Gen 4 purchases, updated parts have resolved the problem. I'm now TOTALLY confident in the purchase and am off to the dealer with GSSF coupon in hand.
My GEN4 G 19 has been flawless with 350 rounds to date.

(1) Gen4 G17 (and a NIB G35 that hasn't been to the range yet)
(2) (a) I have no problem with this handgun.
(3) Runs like a dream. I MUCH prefer the Gen4 grip/ grip texture and sold my Gen3
Posted 02-28-2013 at 10:08 by mrvco
1) G20 Gen4
2) (a)
3) Well, I've only shot 35 rounds out of it. So, I'll try to remember to come back and check after a few hundred more if you're still curious. I will say though, I wondered the same. I had a choice between gen 3 and 4. I then read somewhere that the earlier gen 4s did have the problem, and if you called Glock they'd send you a new spring free of charge. Newest ones are supposedly fixed out of the box.
That's what I'd read anyway, may or may not have been here but it gave me some comfort.
Perhaps just call or email glock and ask? I've emailed them questions before, got a response after a few days..

Gen 4 G35Bought mine almost a year ago after I took the glock basic arms class, the instructor said that glock had addressed and fixed the prob. Ive also read that if it is having ejection probs you can clean up and do minor polishing on the engadgement surfaces of your extractor. Ive had no probs with mine 1000 plus rounds later its still running like a champ, only complaint is some ammo ejects striaght out of the top and lands on my hat brim.
Posted 03-03-2013 at 09:08 by budro
Early Gen 4's had a run of defective springs that cause, among other things, some ejection problems. That problem was quickly rectified and Glock has all serial numbers of Gen 4's with the problem. If you call Glock, they will be able to identify if you have a series with the main spring issue and will replace it free of charge. Problem solved. G-19 gen 4, 10000+ rounds no malfunction of any kind. Have several.

Glock and Front Sight Training Institute
I have been shooting for over 40 years with a very respectable skill level. Last Year I attended The Front Sight Firearm Training Institute in Nevada. I was not surprised that roughly 40% of the students use a Glock Firearm as their preferred choice. The training and experience was remarkable. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or have skills that are superior; Front Sight Institute will make you better. I left there with much greater skill that I ever had. It is the Top Gun school of Firearm training.
Shortly after my attendance, I bought a lifetime membership at Front Sight. http://www.frontsight.com/diamond-membership.asp If you would like to improve your skills or simply own a firearm, you owe it to yourself to seek professional training. If you would like to know how to become a lifetime Diamond member for 98% off the regular $15,000.00 membership price, less that the cost to take a single course, please email me at email@example.com and I can tell you how you can have all the benefits for life for pennies.

Do you know the purpose for your life? God created you for a reason and He wants to reveal His plan to you. Begin to discover the true purpose for your life and how to put it into motion.
by Jimmy Evans with Frank Martin
Are passionate and rewarding relationships really possible in a world where marriages seem to be failing left and right?
The answer is YES, according to Lifelong Love Affair, the newest book by MarriageToday cofounder and host Jimmy Evans.

He created marriage to be filled with passion, purpose and excitement. Even better, God created marriage to last a lifetime.
Don't settle for a mediocre marriage.
Learn from Jimmy Evans how to embrace God's dream for your marriage, how to cultivate romance and fun, and how to fulfill your spouse's spiritual, emotional, and sexual needs. Transform your marriage into a lifelong love affair!
As individuals, our most important dependency is upon God. But we must also recognize our need for human relationships—the kind that help us relate on a social, emotional, and practical level.These relationships give us pleasure and fulfillment, and they include friends, extended family, and work associates. There are two kinds of human relationships that meet this need.

Kenai Peninsula, Prince William Sound, and Homer: Places to Explore

The entryway to Whittier is unlike any other: a 2½-mile drive atop railroad tracks through the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, cut through the Chugach Mountain Range. Once on the other side of the tunnel, you enter the mysterious world of Whittier, the remnants of a military town developed in World War II. The only way to get to Whittier was by boat or train until the tunnel opened to traffic in 2000.
This quaint hamlet, nestled at the base of snow-covered peaks at the head of Passage Canal on the Kenai Peninsula, has an intriguing history. During World War II the U.S. Army constructed a port in Whittier and built the Hodge and Buckner buildings to house soldiers. These enormous monoliths are eerily reminiscent of Soviet-era communal apartment buildings. The Hodge Building (now called Begich Towers) houses almost all of Whittier's 180 year-round residents. The town averages 30 feet of snow in the winter, and in summer gets a considerable amount of rainfall. Whittier's draw is primarily fishing, but there are a number of activities to be had on Prince William Sound, including kayaking and glacier tours with some of the best glacier viewing in South Central Alaska.
Whittier is very small, and there is not much to look at in town, but the location is unbeatable. Surrounding peaks cradle alpine glaciers, and when the summer weather melts the huge winter snow load you can catch glimpses of the brilliant blue ice underneath. Sheer cliffs drop into Passage Canal and provide nesting places for flocks of black-legged kittiwakes, while sea otters and harbor seals cavort in the small-boat harbor and salmon return to spawn in nearby streams. A short boat ride out into the sound reveals tidewater glaciers, and an alert wildlife watcher can catch sight of mountain goats clinging to the mountainsides and black bears patrolling the beaches and hillsides in their constant search for food.
Many companies' phones in Whittier are disconnected from October through April. If you can't get through to a number with prefix 472, check the company's website for an alternate number.

Because I don't have a seat on our town's Board of Education and I've never spent hours trying to decipher school budgets I feel kind of funny asking this, but …
Why is our school calendar such a mess?
This summer will be the shortest summer vacation we could possibly have, I've been told. Trying to come up with a free week our family can go to the beach is almost impossible, since my dudes will finish their school year just a week before the Fourth of July and will go back to school a week before Labor Day.
Yes, we've had a few snow days, but we had snow days when I was a kid, when summer vacation seemed to stretch on forever.
Because we've decided to acknowledge the fact that not all people celebrate Christian holidays, many schools now have kids stay home on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Cool. But we're still giving them days off for Good Friday. Now our school calendar never seems to end. I think the real culprit is the addition of days off without the subtraction of others.
Public school children still have to go to school 180 days. That's a given. But can we ditch a few random holidays? Like Columbus Day, for example? And many of us would prefer to see our kids learn about civil rights in school than take a day off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
I have friends on both sides of the February vacation debate. My "winter fun" friends can't wait for the February break so they can make use of their families' season lift tickets and get their kids outside in the fresh air. My friends who would rather hibernate through January and February just want to send their kids to school and stay inside as much as possible.
So what's the solution?

Watching media coverage of disasters linked to stress
Craig Michaud/FLICKR
Watching hours of media coverage of traumatic events may increase symptoms of distress, even in people not directly affected by the incident.
Based on an Internet survey, individuals who viewed six or more hours of media coverage per day of the 2013 Boston bombings in the week after the event had more symptoms of acute stress than did people who experienced the incident directly. The results appear December 9 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The team notes that people who are most upset by a disaster probably already have trauma symptoms. People may watch the related media coverage to cope with their distress, but over time, the reports amplify their grief, a process that could explain the results.

The suspended mayor of Ellisville will be the subject of a hearing in St. Louis County Court this afternoon (Thursday). Wednesday Mayor Adam Paul's attorney, Chet Pleban, spoke with KTRS's McGraw Millhaven.
Pleban said his client is suing to stop the impeachment, which he called collusion between city councilman, Matt Parillo and Ellisville city attorney, Paul Martin. Pleban read emails on the air between the two that listed possible charges and laid out a plan to remove Mayor Paul from office. Pleban says Martin and Parillo took their plan to former city council woman Katie James three days before she formally presented the charges against the mayor as her own.
James tells McGraw Thursday morning she acted alone and only sought the advice of the city attorney and councilman Parillo. Katie James says, "I don't know why the city went farther with my charges, I'm not privy to that. Why they feel the relationship with the mayor has devolved that they feel they cannot work with him. I want the city just to work." "Did his actions rise to a level to overthrow a duly elected mayor of a town?" Katie James: And I don't have all the facts in that. Do I think he is a capable a mayor..no I do not." McGraw: "Again..should the vote of the people of Ellisville be overturned by the council?" James:"If he broke the law? Yes."
For months, James had claimed that Paul mistreated her when he tried to have police officers remove her from a meeting in May. When she learned of another incident where Paul had tried to remove a resident from a meeting in February. She tells McGraw that's when she decided to take action.
Written by KTRS News
Adam Lanza killed 26 people inside Sandy Hook Elementary School and took his own life within five minutes of shooting his way into the building, State's Attorney Stephen J. Sedensky III said in a statement accompanying the release of the warrants in the Dec. 14 massacre. Lanza was found dead in the school wearing military-style clothing.
The inventory of the evidence seized from Lanza's home and the car he drove to carry out the massacre provided glimpses into the world of a troubled young man, but it does not answer the question of what could have motivated the attack. Investigators say it will take until June or later to complete the investigation.
Sedensky said Lanza killed all 26 victims inside Sandy Hook Elementary School with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle before taking his own life with a Glock 10 mm handgun. He says Lanza had another loaded handgun with him inside the school as well as three, 30-round magazines for the Bushmaster.
Sedensky said 154 spent .223 casings were recovered at the scene. A loaded 12-gauge shotgun was found in the Honda Civic Lanza drove to the school with two magazines containing 70 rounds At the house, investigators found books about autism and Asperger's syndrome as well as an NRA guide to pistol shooting. Another book found at the home with tabbed pages is titled: "Train Your Brain to Get Happy."
Writings and journals that belonged to Lanza were seized by police and turned over to the FBI for analysis. They also found three photos containing images of what appears to be a dead person covered with plastic and blood.
Police said they found a smashed computer hard drive, a gaming console and a gun safe in the house. An unnamed person told investigators that Lanza was an avid gamer who played "Call of Duty" and other games and rarely left his home.
Investigators found a holiday card containing a check made out to Lanza for the purchase of a firearm, authored by his mother, Nancy Lanza. Adam Lanza shot and killed his mother in their Newtown home before driving to the school to carry out the massacre.
Documents indicate authorities found a gun safe with shotgun shells in the house and numerous boxes of bullets. In a bedroom closet, they found ear plugs, a handwritten note regarding ammunition and magazines, paperwork on guns and a metal bayonet.
In a top drawer of a filing cabinet, they found paper targets. In a duffel bag, they found ear and eye protection, binoculars, numerous paper targets and an NRA certificate that belonged to Adam Lanza.
Authorities found numerous knives, including samurai swords. They found a military-style uniform in Lanza's bedroom and handwritten notes containing the addresses of local gun shops. The guns found at the home included a .323-caliber Enfield Albian bolt-action rifle, a .22-caliber Savage Mark II rifle, a BB gun and a .22-caliber Volcanic starter pistol.
Among the items seized was a news article on a 2008 school shooting at Northern Illinois University.
A judge's order to seal the warrants expired on Wednesday, and a Danbury Superior Court judge granted a request by Sedensky to withhold some details. Sedensky asked to redact the name of a witness, saying the person's safety might be jeopardized if the name were disclosed. He also asked that the release not include other information such as telephone numbers, serial numbers on items found and a few paragraphs of an affidavit.
Until now, prosecutors had made few details of the Newtown investigation available, despite pressure to do so from the governor, who criticized leaks to the press and lawmakers who clamored for more details as they craft legislation on mental health and gun control.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced last week that additional information would be released at his request. He expressed concern that some information about the shooting rampage at Sandy Hook reportedly disclosed by a top state police commander at a recent law enforcement seminar in New Orleans was leaked.
In his statement, Sedensky said he ordered a stop to any presentations involving evidence in the case to prevent such disclosures. He said the investigation is ongoing.
"No conclusions have been reached and no final determinations have been made," Sedensky said.
Senate President Donald E. Williams Jr. said this week that legislative leaders are eager to review the search warrant documents before finishing work on a bipartisan bill that addresses gun control and other issues related to the massacre.

"Obama doesn't have any money," the officer said.
"We found it very funny," Durazo said, but it wasn't a joke.
Soon, he was free along with hundreds of other illegal immigrants who were released by the Obama administration because of budget pressures. Officials have also scaled back border agent hours, drug patrols and staffing at border crossings - all during the peak illegal border-crossing season.
While prompted by the nation's money woes, the changes also come amid the nation's shifting immigration policy after years of mass arrests and deportations and billions spent on border security.
The long-term impact of that change has yet to be seen. The Border Patrol said January and February numbers showed a nearly 10 percent increase in apprehensions along the Mexico border for the first two months of the year, compared with 2012.
There could be several factors for the rise, including immigrants motivated by an improving U.S. economy or those anticipating congressional action that could create a path to citizenship. The cuts come as lawmakers are struggling to work out a comprehensive immigration reform package whose success may ultimately be tied to questions of border security.
On Wednesday, Sen. John McCain led a bipartisan group of senators on a tour of the border, and they said they were close to a deal but continued to tie it to keeping immigration in check. They promised more details next week, but McCain said that there's "no doubt" in his mind that the border is less secure because of the budget cuts.
The release of more than 2,200 immigrants like Durazo drew headlines this month as the government prepared for looming cuts that began in March. In February, the government let go of hundreds of immigrants from detention centers in states including Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia and Texas. The administration planned to let roughly 3,000 more go in March, according to an internal government budget document reviewed by the AP and later released by the House Judiciary Committee.
The moves were an attempt by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to get its detainee population in line with what it could afford. The released immigrants still face deportation but will not be held while awaiting their court dates.
Some in Congress said ICE should have explained beforehand that there wasn't enough money to keep everyone in detention.
The immigrants and their lawyers say they were released with little notice or instruction beyond being told to check in periodically.
In many cases, the immigrants were dropped off in the middle of the night at bus stations or airports in metropolitan centers without money to finish their journey home. In Florida, some were released from a facility bordering rural swamp land outside Miami.
Critics argue the plan allowed the release of thousands of criminals without regard to public safety, but officials say almost all the detainees were characterized as low risk. ICE Director John Morton told a congressional panel that 10 of the 2,228 people were the highest level of offender.
"In reducing detention levels, we took careful steps to ensure that national security and public safety were not compromised," he told a congressional hearing.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration, in the midst of trying to get immigration overhauled, switched from daily declarations that the border was secure to warning of the increasingly dire consequences of cutting $754 million from Customs and Border Protection's $12 billion budget.
In the first week of the cuts, some agents in South Texas reported a spike in arrests of immigrants who said smugglers told them they would be briefly detained and then released. The agents' union quickly spread word of a "tidal wave" of immigrants taking advantage of the situation.
Several immigrants interviewed at a migrant shelter in Reynosa, Mexico, across the border from McAllen, Texas, said they had not heard anything suggesting now was a particularly good time to cross. Instead, several said they were returning home because the drug cartel that controlled river crossings made it too expensive and dangerous.
"Here, they say you can't cross the river right now because there are a lot of kidnappings. They're killing a lot of people," said Josue Manuel Vazquez, who added that he escaped kidnappers who held him for five days as they tried to extort $4,500 from his daughter, a legal U.S. resident.
Some contend the budget cuts are relatively small when put in the broader context of the huge build-up of border security over the past decade.
According to the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Homeland Security assigned about 28,100 people in 2004 to patrol land borders and inspect travelers at all ports of entry at a cost of about $5.9 billion. By the end of 2011, those figures were 41,400 employees at a cost of $11.8 billion.
"The scale of (automatic budget cuts) is minuscule compared to the vast build-up," said Geoff Boyce, spokesman for No More Deaths, an immigration advocacy group in Tucson, Ariz.
The effects of the cuts are being seen in border cities and among agents. Customs and Border Protection reduced overtime for its officers at ports of entry. In San Diego and other crossing points, that translated to fewer lanes open at land crossings and longer waits for people and trucks carrying produce and other goods from Mexico.
Those waits are only expected to worsen in coming weeks as the agency begins furloughs amid a hiring freeze. In a letter to Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warned that peak wait times at the busiest border crossings could reach five hours or more.
Border Patrol agents received notices advising them they would face up to 14 days of furloughs during the next six months and would no longer be eligible for overtime that for years has added an average of two hours to every agent's shift.
The agency is also suspending assignments known as "details" that sent agents from slower parts of the border to busier areas for months at a time. Agents on detail are often put up in hotels and receive a per diem.
The cuts have also forced the government to pull back on flight and ship patrols in the drug war in Central America.
Durazo learned about the budget issues while watching the news at his sister's home in the Phoenix area after his release. He crossed into the U.S. from his native Mexico in 1969 when he was 19, and he said he doesn't know what will happen next with his immigration case. He has, however, decided to embrace his good fortune.
"We gave many thanks to God, because we prayed a lot while we were in there," he said. ---

The ads feature sad, real-life stories: There is Terrie, a North Carolina woman who lost her voicebox. Bill, a diabetic smoker from Michigan who lost his leg. And Aden, a 7-year-old boy from New York, who has asthma attacks from secondhand smoke.
"Most smokers want to quit. These ads encourage them to try," said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC campaign cost $48 million and includes TV, radio and online spots as well as print ads and billboards.
The spending comes as the agency is facing a tough budget squeeze, but officials say the ads should more than pay for themselves by averting future medical costs to society. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable illness and death in the United States. It's responsible for the majority of the nation's lung cancer deaths and is a deadly factor in heart attacks and a variety of other illnesses.
Last year's similar $54 million campaign was the agency's first and largest national advertising effort. The government deemed it a success: That campaign triggered an increase of 200,000 calls to quit lines. The CDC believes that likely prompted tens of thousands of smokers to quit based on calculations that a certain percentage of callers do actually stop.
Like last year, the current 16-week campaign spotlights real people who were hurt and disfigured by smoking. Terrie Hall, a 52-year-old throat cancer survivor makes a repeat performance. She had her voice box removed about a dozen years ago.
In last year's ad there's a photo of her as a youthful high school cheerleader. Then she is seen more recently putting on a wig, inserting false teeth and covering the hole in her neck with a scarf. It was, by far, the campaign's most popular spot, as judged by YouTube viewings and Web clicks.
In a new ad, Hall addresses the camera, speaking with the buzzing sound of her electrolarynx. She advises smokers to make a video of themselves now, reading a children's book or singing a lullaby. "I wish I had. The only voice my grandson's ever heard is this one," her electric voice growls.
One difference from last year: The new campaign tilts more toward the impact smokers have on others. One ad features a Kentucky high school student who suffers asthma attacks from being around cigarette smoke. Another has a Louisiana woman who was 16 when her mother died from smoking-related causes.
The return of the campaign is already being applauded by some anti-smoking advocates, who say tobacco companies spend more on tobacco product promotion in a week than the CDC spends in a year.
After decades of decline, the adult smoking rate has stalled at roughly 20 percent in recent years. Advocates say the campaign provides a necessary jolt to a weary public that has been listening to government warnings about the dangers of smoking for nearly 50 years.
"There is an urgent need to continue this campaign," said Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, in a statement.
It would seem like a bad time for the CDC to be buying air time - the agency is facing roughly $300 million in budget cuts as part of the government's sequestration cuts in federal spending. However, the ad money comes not from the CDC's regular budget but from a special $1 billion public health fund set up years ago through the Affordable Care Act. The fund has set aside more than $80 million for CDC smoking prevention work.
Frieden argues that the ads are extremely cost-effective - spending about $50 million a year to save potentially tens of thousands of lives.
"We're trying to figure out how to have more impact with less resources," he said.
The ads direct people to call 1-800-QUIT-NOW. PlowShare Group, of Stamford, Conn., is again the advertising company that put the ads together. ---

A Devotional Series by Charles H. Spurgeon

"Arise, and depart." --Micah 2:10
The hour is approaching when the message will come to us, as it comes to all-- "Arise, and go forth from the home in which thou hast dwelt, from the city in which thou hast done thy business, from thy family, from thy friends. Arise, and take thy last journey." And what know we of the journey? And what know we of the country to which we are bound? A little we have read thereof, and somewhat has been revealed to us by the Spirit; but how little do we know of the realms of the future! We know that there is a black and stormy river called "Death." God bids us cross it, promising to be with us. And, after death, what cometh? What wonder world will open upon our astonished sight? What scene of glory will be unfolded to our view? No traveller has ever returned to tell. But we know enough of the heavenly land to make us welcome our summons thither with joy and gladness. The journey of death may be dark, but we may go forth on it fearlessly, knowing that God is with us as we walk through the gloomy valley, and therefore we need fear no evil. We shall be departing from all we have known and loved here, but we shall be going to our Father's house--to our Father's home, where Jesus is--to that royal "city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God." This shall be our last removal, to dwell for ever with him we love, in the midst of his people, in the presence of God. Christian, meditate much on heaven, it will help thee to press on, and to forget the toil of the way. This vale of tears is but the pathway to the better country: this world of woe is but the stepping stone to a world of bliss.
"Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine,
For thy bright courts on high;
Then bid our spirits rise, and join
The chorus of the sky."

Ubuntu is probably the most popular and widely used GNU/Linux distribution out there. It is based on Debian which is classified as one of the most stable GNU/Linux distributions. Used as a virtual server operating system, Ubuntu provides a basis for running an easy to use virtual hosting platform.
While Ubuntu shares Debian's software packages and is built based on Debian it is quite different in a number of ways. Ubuntu releases new version every six months, so thanks to this updating cycle the distribution is kept up-to-date with the latest stable software.
The main benefit would be Ubuntu's completeness of the software repository which is growing tremendously on a daily basis. That being said, while with the other distributions you need to look for third party repos, search for dependencies etc. in Ubuntu you just tell 'apt' to install a specific package and that's it. Ubuntu is also great because you can easily set it up and it will just work, so you can focus on what really matters for you or your business.
We offer multiple Ubuntu VPS hosting plans tailored to suit even your most demanding needs. All Linux VPS Hosting accounts are hosted on reliable, latest generation Dual Quad Core Xeon servers running the Linux operating system and are maintained by our team of highly experienced Linux admins. All our Linux virtual server hosting plans are equivalent to a real server, they look and feel as if you are running your own Linux-based dedicated server. All our virtual server hosting plans are Fully Managed unless indicated otherwise.
We believe to be offering the most affordable virtual dedicated server plans on the Internet. If you find another public, comparable Linux VPS offer at a better price, please email us the details and we will do everything we can to match it or beat it.
An Ubuntu VPS has the same flexibility and benefits of a dedicated server at a fraction of the price. Compare VPS vs Dedicated
Linux VPS Hosting or a virtual private server is essentially a completely isolated segment of a physical server with full root access and its own dedicated hardware resources such as CPU, disk space, and RAM. With a virtual server you get the power and functionality of a dedicated server but at a significantly more affordable price. Also, people who consider expanding beyond the limitations of a shared hosting environment often gravitate towards VPS hosting because they can do a lot more with it, and experience significant improvement coupled with greater uptime and better performance overall. It is without a doubt, currently one of the best and the most popular solution to meet your hosting needs. It is also very flexible so you can easily scale up/down its resources so it can fit your current and future requirements.
It is fairly easy to manage a VPS. You can choose to manage your virtual server using Webmin, DirectAdmin or the cPanel control panel, or you can simply manage your virtual server without a control panel, using the command line interface via SSH. There are absolutely no limits on the number of web sites you can host on a Linux VPS. The full root access allows you to create unlimited user accounts, email accounts, data bases etc. You also have the ability to install, configure and run whatever application you need just like on any other Linux dedicated server, but at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated server.
Regardless of whether you want to use it for hosting your private blog or multiple high-traffic websites, run your own FTP, DNS or e-mail server, the completely protected environment where you have control and power to do almost anything you want, the Virtual Private Server hosting is the right choice for you and your business.
Once again, the main 5 reasons why you want to use our Linux VPS Hosting are:
Every VPS has its own dedicated IP address(es), guaranteed RAM, CPU, Disk Space and Bandwidth. Also there are no limits on the number of sites, databases and email/ftp users.
Virtual hosting offers better security than a traditional shared hosting. VPS is an isolated environment where no customer can affect other customers on the same physical server.
Every VPS has its own operating system so users can install and run any application or script. Users can also add additional resources like RAM, Bandwidth and Disk Space or upgrade their entire VPS with almost no downtime.
Each VPS can be easily restored from backup to any physical server with no changes to configuration. Disaster recovery is very fast and painless.
VPS hosting is a perfect solution for those who have outgrown their shared hosting service and offers an excellent solution for clients who require hosting for custom applications and libraries.
A demo of DirectAdmin is available here. The DirectAdmin user manual is available here
More information, demo and screenshots about Webmin control panel you can find here
More information, demo and screenshots about cPanel/WHM control panel you can find here
Additional IPs are only available with justification
as required by ARIN.
Each virtual server comes with guaranteed amount of CPU, RAM and HDD resources.
DirectAdmin is extremely easy to use, yet it is a powerful web based control panel which will make your VPS administration easier.
Our EPIC Support is here 24x7 and is going to provide you with excellent help every time you need it.
We were the first and only web hosting company in the world to offer commercial Linux virtual servers back in 2001. To verify this please check the archive.org archives here.
We do not tie our customers in long term contracts.
Use coupon code 50FIRST during checkout to get half the price for your first payment.
We will move/migrate your hosting account from your current host to our servers for free, and make sure it works!

262 South Water Street, Providence, RI | Directions 0290341.821712 -71.405136
Tue-Sat 5pm-10pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown Providence
Amazing – I went to dinner here on my birthday with 9 friends and it was one of the best dining experiences i have had in a long time. The first thing that struck me was how incredibly welcoming and friendly the entire staff is...I truly have not felt so comfortable and welcome in a restaurant ever. Second is the decor and the music....perfect. And of course -- the food. Exceptional, The sampler basket of all types of naan is a must!
No Recession Here! – II dined at Bacaro this past Saturday evening after hearing so many great reviews and all I can say is what an intoxicating experience! Now don't take that the wrong way, I had some great wines, but my intoxication was of my overall senses- touch, smell, sound, sight and most of all, TASTE. With the economy the way it is right now, I figured it would be very little trouble to walk in and get a table...first mistake. Luckily, due to a last minute cancellation while I was enjoying a cocktail at this very busy bar, the hostess was able to get me into a table and much under the hour plus wait quoted. It was obvious based on how busy this place was and how delicious the food was that this chef has been at this for a while. The pizza we started with was wood-grilled, thin, crispy but most of all, balanced. It had just the right amount of tomato, cheese and olive oil. The prosciutto on top with the wild arugula just threw it over the top. Like I said, "intoxicating". I was apparently raving so loudly that the table next to me heard me and told me that this was the long time chef from the world renowned Al Forno. Now it makes sense. This guy didn't just pop on the scene, he has been doing this wonderful stuff for some time now. My wife had a dish of paper thin slices of what the menu called Jerusalem artichokes although they didn't look like any artichokes that I have ever seen before. He drizzled these with honey, truffle, grated pecans and smoked sea salt. I didn't really care what they were anymore, all I know is that the texture and flavors are still lingering in my mouth. I can go on forever about the food here. I guess a lot of people keep coming back to this place because it almost seemed as if the staff knew everyone around us. All I can say is that I will be back and often enough where someday I will take notice of that unsuspecting first time Bacaro diner and just watch as his or her elation expands with each bite!
worst pizza ever – Dont get me started,the so called owner thinks he is mr. puck.the pizza was soggy.the wait for the soggy pizza was 45minutes. we did not need to order anything else. as we observed the chef trying to make small talk with the custermers. he should be in the kitchen were he belongs.or maybe he belongs at joes dinner.never again run and run fast.
Consistently a Winner, and a New Favorite Spot – I have been to Bacaro on three occasions, and each visit tops the last. On the first visit, my boyfriend and I were informed of the Salumeria/Tapas menu, but were slightly overwhelmed (in a good way!) by the extensive choices throughout the menus and stuck with a more "a-la-carte" style dinner. The standouts from that evening were the Caesar salad, which came perfectly dressed and topped with a pile of still-warm grilled croutons, and the sweet potato tart which also arrived still-warm and covered with a crunchy, sweet praline topping. The second visit we were a bit more ambitious and ordered a few cheeses (our server suggested Taleggio, which has now become a household name because we buy it whenever we see it) and meats, and were suggested a delightful wine - a sparkling, chilled red whose name I've since forgotten, but would like to ask about next time we go. We tried the Pasta Funghi, and boy if you like mushrooms, this is an absolute must! The aroma alone is worth it! My boyfriend had the Crispy Chicken, and loved it enough to get it to go last week. Not to be outdone, the dessert was fantastic again, this time a whipped Marscapone cheesecake on a spongey-cake with carmelized pineapple, yum! On out last visit, we arrived at 7:30 on a Saturday night, forgetting that this is primetime for restaurants, and decided to snag the only empty seats at the bar. I had a glass of wine, and the boyfriend had the unforgettable Basil Gimlet, wow that thing is good! We split a meal of cheeses, meats and tapas (try the squash blossom and foie gras crostini!) followed by a shared Peach Tarte and left completely sated. All in all, if you're looking for amazing food, engaging service, stellar wine and cocktails at a not-unreasonable price, check out my new favorite, Bacaro.
Best Lounge for Ladies Night Out! – Last week, a large group of us went out for a ladies night out. We were a group of 15 and wanted a young but sophisticated atmosphere where we could get great food and cocktails. Bacaro was the perfect setting for an awesome night out! We arrived at Bacaro around 9:30pm, intending on having some appetizers and then moving on to somewhere else in the city for drinks. When we arrived we were pleasantly suprised to learn that they had extended their hours on the weekends, and we were able to stay all night. For starters, we ordered a variety of cocktails, from margharitas made with fresh lime juice to pomagranite martinis. We were fortunate to get our seats by the window where we got a picturesque view of downtown Providence. The salumeria gave us a chance to design our own boards of warm and cold snacks. The Crostini with local wild flower honey and Prosciuotto di parma and Arancinni were among some of the group's favorites. The grilled pizza was outstanding and was a perfect late night snack. We truly enjoyed our Bacaro experience and look forward to visiting again in the near future!
Fantastic! – I have been to Bacaro two times now and feel that I have now seen and tasted enough to write about it. It is very difficult to offer something different to todays diner and Bacaro does it in spades! I must admit the first time I arrived, I was a bit intimidated by the wonderful assortment of cichetti sp? or as it is becoming known to the droves of people flocking to this restaurant, Italian Tapas. Our server quickly and thoughly explained this part of the menu and we passed on the interesting approach to stay more traditional and order appetizers, entrees and desserts from the main menu instead. Our meal was exquisit! We started with a Strawberry & Field Greens Salad which was and incredible balance of the sweetest strawberries, feta-i think, and toasted walnuts over an assortment of really tasty greens. We split the Pasta Funghi as a seperate course as suggest by our server. This dish has got to be one of the best dishes I have ever had. The pasta arrived at the table with a poached egg on top. The aroma of earthy mushrooms and truffle coming off this dish was intoxicating. Our server suggested that we break the egg and toss the pasta to create the sauce. Our entree was steak with slices of avocado, cherry tomatoes, shallots and cilantro. I am still lusting over this pasta, but our steak was fantastic too. We finished with the Chef's Suggestion of homemade chocolates with grappa pairing...wow! I didn't know the first time we dined here, but I heard the chef was the chef at Al Forno before opening Bacaro which explains his pedigree. There are not enough letters left for me to write about our next experience, but lets just say, we went back for the tapas and cured meats and cheeses and had another incredible experience, completely different from the last. We ate on the first floor this time which has a different atmosphere to it and a great vibe. Two times, with two completely different experiences, both incredlble. I can't wait to go back.
Without a doubt the best dining in Rhode Island – Last Friday evening I was going out to dinner with friends and I suggested Bacaro. Having dined there before on their Salumeria menu I was anxious to see what the rest of the menu had in store for me. To start we each had a different cocktail from their cocktail menu. Now don?t think this is your typical cocktail menu because its not. The basil gimlet was my personal favorite but not to be outdone by the sangria or their signature drink a Bacaro Cocktail.
We started with some selections from the Salumeria , the spicy sopresatta was sliced perfectly, as was the prosciutto. Our server was very knowledgable in helping us decipher between all of the cheeses. To top it off we had the best pizza I have ever had the chance to eat.
When our entrees came the manager was more than happy to advise us on our wine selection. None of us really know too much about wine but what we were served paired with our dishes perfectly and was delicious. For dinner we each ordered a dish and shared, every one I tried was better than the next. The rigatoni Bolognese was to die for, as was the scallops and short ribs.
Dessert is something we were told was a must but given how much we had already eaten we decided to share one. The peach tart ? I?m not sure there are enough words to describe how amazing this tart was.
Given all of the restaurants there are to choose from in the state of Rhode Island not to mention the city of Providence one would have to be very unique and unparallel in order to stand out. This is what you find at Bacaro. From their delicious Italian Tapas to their exquisite wine list not to mention their entrees I don?t see how anyone could come here and not enjoy every minute of it.
I can't wait to go back!
Lack Luster – A recent trip to Bacaro left a fetid taste on the toungue. While the atmosphere was nice, the restaurant mostly attended by local business workers and older, well-dressed patrons, the food did not match the decor. The tapas were actually appetizing, especially the fried risotto. For the main dish, I ordered "Pasta a funghi", which the waitress insisted on pronouncing incorrectly. The main meal took an hour to prepare because of a mixup in one of our party's orders. During the long wait (about 45 minutes into the wait), the kitchen offered us a rather stale Ceasar salad in the interim. The salad was practically dead, and obvious made with pity and the intent to make us want to still tip after such an atrocity. Furthermore, when mentioned that I'm a vegetarian, I okayed the use of anchovies on the salad, and it contained none.
Finally, the main dish arrived. The pasta was inconsistent, some of which was obnoxiously undercooked. The mushrooms lacked flavor, and the ingredients did not create a uniform meal. It was underwhelming and disappointingly anticlimactic after such a long wait, which included the limp, dull salad.
And to top off the night, we ordered the "sorbet" for dessert, which was more the consistency of an ice cream (because it WAS ice cream), and it consisted of nothing but sugar in the raw, granulated sugar, brownulated sugar, honey, corn syrup, and maybe one crystal of salt. No mango flavor whatsoever.
After our attrocious service and even worse meal (outside of the tapas), no reduction in our check was given, and the prices here are rather steep.
If you've dined here before and you have your favorites, stick with them. If not, try Al Forno, if you can get passed the attitudes.
By far the best dining experience in Providence – After a particularly trying day, my husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner. We sure picked the right place to go--Bacaro. We were shown upstairs where we had a beautiful view of the river as the sunset. The aromas, as we passed the open kitchen, made us anxious to order our meal. We began with the Salumeria menu, ordering prosciutto, cheeses,dry sausages,olives and the best grilled pizza ever. For our entrees, we chose butter-poached sea scallops with mushrooms, wood-grilled rib eye and Bacaro carbonara. Our server on task and his recommended wine selections were a fine complement to each course. Though we were full we couldn't pass up ordering a special dessert to share-- Mascarpone cheese cake and the house churned vanilla ice cream. The meal was extraordinary. The service was superb. Bacaro-- we will be back!!

Was Avery ever the problem or has Deron been the Nets biggest problem? http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/40797248/
Nets fire Johnson after 14-14 start
By Ben Golliver
The Nets fired coach Avery Johnson on Thursday after a 14-14 start with a payroll of more than $80 million in the franchise's much-anticipated first season in Brooklyn.
Johnson, hired in June 2010, was in the final year of a three-year, $12 million contract. The firing was first reported by Yahoo! Sports, which also reported that Nets assistant coach P.J. Carlesimo will step in as interim coach.
Nets GM Billy King told reporters in a Thursday press conference that the final call to fire Johnson was made by ownership. King also stated that he felt the Nets were not playing with the "same fire" that they showed earlier in the season and that Johnson wasn't connecting with the players in his locker room.
"I just got a sense, as I told Avery this morning, that he just wasn't reaching them any more," King said. "It happens in sports, especially at the professional level."
King confirmed that Carlesimo will serve as interim coach and didn't set a firm timeline on his coaching search.
"P.J. will be the interim coach at this time," he said. "Will we look other places? We may, but at this time P.J. is our interim head coach. He'll be coaching [Friday against the Bobcats]. The remaining staff will stay with him."
[Potential replacements for Avery Johnson]
Johnson becomes the second NBA coach fired this season. The Lakers fired Mike Brown in November just five games into the season.
The coaching change comes just days after struggling All-Star point guard Deron Williams criticized Johnson's offensive system, yearning for the good old days of the "flex" under former Jazz coach Jerry Sloan.
"That system was a great system for my style of play," Williams said of the "flex" offense run by Utah Coach Jerry Sloan. "I'm a system player. I love Coach Sloan's system. I loved the offense there."
Williams did nothing to discourage that interpretation when he was asked to compare the offense used by the Nets with the one he ran in Utah. "Is it as good as there? No," he said. "There's just more one-on-one and isos" in Johnson's offense.
Williams, of course, was seen as one of the primary reasons Sloan abruptly resigned in 2011, as player and coach reportedly had a locker-room disagreement shortly before Sloan stepped away from the game.
King defended Williams from accusations that he was responsible for Johnson's firing.
"To pinpoint this on Deron, it's not fair," King said during his press conference. "He was not the deciding [person] in this decision. In talking with ownership we felt like we didn't like the direction that we were going."
In addition to Williams' comments, other cracks were starting to show. The Nets fell to .500 after blowout losses to the Celtics at home on Christmas and to the Bucks on Wednesday in Milwaukee. Brooklyn is just 3-10 in December after an 11-4 start that earned Johnson Coach of the Month honors for October/November.
Nets forward Gerald Wallace vented after the loss to Milwaukee, the New York Post reported.
"We're a way better team than what our record is," Gerald Wallace said. "I'm [bleeping ticked] off about us losing, and especially the way we're losing."
"It's mind-boggling that we're in the situation we're in," Wallace said. "As good of a team as we are, as good as started off … you saw the potential we had as a team, and the talent we have as a team. And yet, still, instead of team, it's more of 'I.' "
The disappointment was apparently shared in the locker room and at the executive levels. Nets CEO Brett Yormark, for example, expressed frustration on Twitter after the Christmas loss to the Celtics.
"Nets fans deserved better today," Yormark tweeted. "The entire organization needs to work harder to find the solution. We will get there."
The New York Daily News reported that Yormark didn't intend for his comments to be read as a shot at Johnson.
Yormark had the Nets PR department clarify that the comments were directed at the organization across the board, from in-arena issues to on-court issues. The CEO also reached out to head coach Avery Johnson to make it clear it was not a shot at him. Before Wednesday night's game in Milwaukee, Johnson said it's not a surprise.
"It's the same thing I've been saying all along: we all have to get better, we have to improve. It's gonna be a dogfight all year, nothing's going to be easy. We've got to take the good with the bad. Now is not the time to really analyze what's happened for us this year, because we haven't even gotten to the halfway point and we haven't played a full season with this roster," Johnson said. "But I think I agree: we all have to get better. Billy and I talk about it all the time; we're not where we want to be, but I don't think we are where we're going, either. I think we still have great potential, but once we get everyone back in the fold, and figure out what's the next step, I think we'll be in good shape."
Indeed, the Nets' move from New Jersey to Brooklyn this season, not to mention significant capital investments in the roster, brought increased expectations. The New York Daily News reported the mood in early November.
This is his first year where we've had the right amount of talent where if we don't make the playoffs, it could be a problem," Deron Williams said. "I think [Johnson has] done a great job. We're not where we need to be. And that's not one person's blame, it's not his blame. It's everybody's blame. We're all still trying to get better. I'm sure the contract situation will work itself out. If we start winning, everything will be just fine."
"I said it at the beginning of the season we have a team on paper that should be good," Williams said. Expectations are high being in Brooklyn now. Things are at an all-time high. So if we're not winning or we're struggling it's going to be a big deal."
Prokhorov, meanwhile, told Newsday in November that he expected a deep playoff run this season and more success to come quickly after that.
"With good planets' [alignment], maybe conference finals," the Nets' owner and Russian billionaire said before Saturday night's season opener against the Raptors at Barclays Center.
He has made it clear that he expects the Nets to win an NBA title within the next three seasons, keeping the same timetable that he offered up two years ago when he first made the championship goal known.
Ownership issued only a brief statement on Thursday.
"The Nets ownership would like to express thanks to Avery for his efforts and to wish him every success in the future," Prokhorov's statement read.
Johnson, 47, leaves the Nets with a 60-116 (.341) record in two-plus seasons. The Nets did not advance to the playoffs during his tenure. Johnson also coached the Mavericks from 2004-2008; his career coaching record stands at 254-186 (.577). Johnson also played 16 NBA seasons split among the SuperSonics, Nuggets, Spurs, Rockets, Warriors and Mavericks. He was a member of the Spurs; 1999 title team.
Carlesimo, 63, has been a head coach on three occasions: Portland (1994-1997), Golden State (1997-1999) and Seattle/Oklahoma City (2007-2009). He's perhaps best known for his run-in with former player Latrell Sprewell, who was suspended for choking him in 1997. His career record is 204-296 (.408).
"Star player" struggles and when asked about it he talks about it being the fault of the coach or system. It is never about him not working harder in practice, it isn't that he lacks the fire to play at the level he has the potential to, no it is always the coach. I would think owners would be smart enough to see that they overpaid someone who feels they dont have anything to prove anymore.
Hey Avery...I remember you way back at rookie tryouts for the Sonics in LA back in about 1988...you have come a long way baby - and always kept your dignity. a. wortman
Deron Williams and Joe Johnson will never work out together. J.J. game thrived in the west-coast offense but in the east you have to play defense and J.J. cannot play both ends of the floor and be the scorer he once was under D'Antoni's system in Phoenix. Just look at what happened in Atlanta. As far as D'Will is concerned his best days are most likely behind him... Aside from being slow and too fat he's out of shape and a coach killer. Just go back to the Olympics and if you can recall, he played terrible every game. He was a non-factor on the Olympic team and I hope he is not picked for 2016 Olympic games. Go Knicks!
Shaking my head at all the comments about how Joe Johnson's contract is the problem here. The Nets have one of the most balanced and complimentary rosters in the NBA and that includes Johnson. There is a legitimate scoring threat at all 5 positions and 3 players with game changing scoring ability in Williams, Lopez, and Johnson. The Nets can play big or small without sacrificing scoring or defense and all of the players are unselfish and not "ball stoppers". Each one's strengths balance the others weaknesses. Johnson's contract has not limited the team in any way. They have a capable backup at all positions and can keep up with rebounding and 3 point scoring from the 2nd unit. The problem with the Nets was the offensive system and lack of teammate familiarity. Chemistry takes time to develop. Ask the Heat who everyone thought would be 74-8 in the first year of the big three. After a "feeling out period" where Johnson and D-Will had to figure out how to play together, Johnson's scoring and level of play has picked up greatly. Avery is a good coach but thought he could take advantage of each players 1-on-1 talent when this team desperately needed an offensive system with good ball movement to play in. D-Will is deservedly criticized for airing the problems in public but he was spot on correct about the lack of an offensive system that hinders the team.
my daughter lives in Brooklyn,,got me a t-shirt for xmas,,going to represent! and so will the fans,,they're going to be there,,
even up too par!!! i have no confidence in Lopez or Hump!
lets face up,,they don't have a center!!! The Lopez twins are a joke!! Avery can't play center!!!
DWill officially inherits the mantle of Coach Killa from JKidd
Signing Joe Johnson was a move that doomed this team to middle of the pack status. He a decent player making the money of 3 or 4 decent players. Amazing they could not learn from Atlanta's mistake. No coach can make this team great, their big 3 just are not that 'big" except for their contracts!
Is PJ going to bring Latrell Sprewell out of retirement?
Avery you can't breathe life into a dead team. You are a great coach that was given a sorry team.
The problem with the Nets is they got rid of the wrong Johnson. Why in the world did the Nets pick up Joe Johnson and his 120 million dollar contract. No one in the world can honestly say he is worth that much money. His contract reminds me alot of Allen Houston's with the Knicks...remember how that one turned out Knick fans :( The signs are the same...one game 20 points, the next game 5 to 10 points. That's what you get for 120 million dollars ??!! The GM should be looking over his shoulders to see if he is next since the coach and players that we brought in we his decision!!
Williams' resume now includes victories over two of his coaches: Sloan and Johnson! What is sad is that as soon as Lopez and Humphries are up to par (one due to injury, the other, due to air space) the Nets will go on a run again. The Ruskie needs to realize that when building a contender, you will have ups and downs, no matter how much money you spend! That's NBA basketball. Shoo, it took Miami two seasons with All-World on the team, on paper! I hope Coach Johnson lands on his feet. He deserves better than what he got...ver two coaches:
johnson,you will do better when,you have better. Avery well done.see you soon.newark n.j needs a COACH.CALL SHACK.
Good riddings Mr. Johnson.....that slow isolation offense was offensive...please don't hire P.J!
A.J. is a good coach! I guess you have to blame someone! Anyhow... Go SPURS :o)
some other team will pick up this rettread with more of the same--millions in salary for bad coaching. It never changes in the nba.
I agree Williams isn't to clutch.
Williams is the problem! Trying to blame the coaches always for his short comings while falling short on his own game. This player is a trouble maker and a finger pointer. Johnson never took a shot for him nor did they ever throw the ball away for him, "He did!!!" Nets do yourselves a favor and get rid of the cry baby so-called self proclaimed point guard!!!!!
it'd be funny if Phil Jackson went to the Nets.....and beat the Lakers in the finals next season
Johnson....go to the Lakers.....PLEEEAASSSEEE!!!!!
I guess its the players who still get a HC fired.........but never the players fault.........
Go to the Wizards. Lord knows what Washington fans would do for a 14-14 record.
Well besides Joes stupid contract, Williams is a bit of a slug, and their center does not rebound...
@Oh You Know! You are right on the money. Williams is an excellent player but like Boozer his running mate in Utah, they both disappear when it counts. Great regular season players, though.
@Rickapolis not to speak ell of derick but if he would notspeak and play some def my aplogy he is to qute to do that the team had the best coach for that team check your team

RUTHERFORD COUNTY, Tenn. – The Rutherford County Sheriff's request to have a full time officer at every school in the county was endorsed by the county commission on Thursday night.
Sheriff Robert Arnold announced last month that he would present a funding proposal to the County Commission.
During a budget and finance committee meeting Thursday, commissioners said they will consider funding the new SROs during the budget process.
There are already 44 officers at middle and high schools, but Sheriff Arnold's plan is to hire 11 more SRO's for elementary schools. The proposal includes benefits, training, equipment and cars for the SROs. Some within the Sheriff's office are already trained to be SROs.
The new officers would cost the county about $1.2 million.
"I guess if you ask the people in Newtown, Connecticut, it wouldn't be much of a discussion. If you think about dollars and sense versus the possibility of saving children's lives," said Rutherford County director of schools Don Odom.
The plan would run from 2012 to 2017. It does not apply to Murfreesboro City schools.
The Rutherford County SRO program was one of the first in the state. It was founded in 1993 with five SROs.

I have been working at The Buckle part-time for less than a year
Pros – Trying on new clothes and employee discount
Cons – Slow-paced. Whoever decided that having more than 5 people in the store at a time is "busy" hasn't been exposed to much work at all. It's sometimes painful even FINDING something to do to waste time...unless you're into standing around and gossiping.
Advice to Senior Management – Your job is to impact.....not take sales from your co-workers. Lead by example...
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
