Mcdonalds Complaint - Treated like a dope head!!
Review by
Comments (8)
ASHLAND, KENTUCKY -- I went through the drive thru and asked for a caramel frappe with xtra caramel in the bottom and on top! The lady came over the speaker and said she was not allowed to do that, I asked why and she said that her manager would have to talk with me so another lady came to the speaker and said that people who abuse drugs are getting this kind of item and they are using the Carmel as a way to control their drug tendencies!! Actually that the whole drink desert is a way for drug addicted people to get a fix or calm their urges!! I like it cause I love caramel! I do not use drugs, I actually don't use any drugs and happen to belong to a respectful church as a member of it!! So I am trying to find out if the CEO's of Mcd's are condoning this kind of behavior because if so it is important when starting a law suit!

If someone is looking for a "fix", this place's policy is to withhold extra Carmel on a frappe?? Isn't that like saying "get outta here kid and go find some real dope. You aren't getting high on my coffee!"
Posted by trmn8r on 2011-12-16:
What would be your argument in a law suit? The manager didn't accuse you of being a drug user.
I do find what the manager said to be quite odd. Perhaps this is a regional thing in Kentucky. I expected the reason to be that the extra caramel costs money, which it does.

Go to Starbucks. Yes you will pay more, but they are happy to make your drink any way you want. BTW, as a former addict, I've never heard of drinking a frappe with extra caramel to calm cravings or get some kind of fix. That's just bizarre.

In honor of National Chocolate Covered Anything Day, I'm having chocolate to calm my legal cravings and nerves. Maybe I'll ask for extra hot fudge on my McD's sundae.
Posted by trmn8r on 2011-12-16:
You know, potheads ask for extra fudge too, Venice. You may want to think about that before you ask.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-12-16:
I could have fun with someone thinking I'm a pothead. I can play that part.

Sounds like the manager was the one on drugs.

With a balanced budget, a stable tax rate, and strong financial reserves, the city of Bowie is strong and thriving, according to Mayor G. Frederick Robinson, who gave a State of the City speech to the Bowie Chamber of Commerce last week.
"Having travelled extensively across the state over the last several years I can say without reservation that Bowie continues to set the bar that others seek to emulate," said Robinson.
Robinson credits much of the town's financial success to their conservative budgetary process, including maintaining strong reserves, not engaging in long term borrowing and maintaining a triple A (AAA) bond rating. He also touted the city's green policies and growing police force.
Now home to over 55,000 residents, there has been a 329 percent increase in retail square footage and a 200 percent increase in office space since 1990, said Robinson. Bowie is also home to more than 90 restaurants.
The mayor also touched on several development issues, including a planned CVS and car wash at Route 301 and Mitchellville Road, and a new medical/dental building that will be constructed where Tia's Restaurant once operated. Robinson also touched on the proposed Melford amendment.
"I believe that we have a responsibility to examine the options here as a way to maximize the potential of this park and I look forward to this necessary discussion," Robinson said about the proposed Melford covenant amendment.
Although he is a self declared Bowie optimist, Robinson also discussed some of the challenges the city is facing in light of the current economy with the lagging home values and the lack of state funding to support highway infrastructure projects.
However, Robinson ended things on a positive and hopeful note, saying that the city's government and business community working together would keep Bowie strong.
"I know our commitment remains solid—to do what is best for Bowie even if at times those choices are challenging or difficult," he said.
You can read Robinson's full State of the City comments here on the city's website.

Military vehicles are often mis-identified as tanks, even by respected media outlets. The caption for this Reuters video states that it "appears to show Syrian rebels using explosives to blow up a military tank". The vehicle in the video is a Soviet-made BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle. It has caterpillar tracks and a rotating turret, but it's not a tank.
Wikipedia has a useful and accurate definition of a tank:
A tank is a tracked, armoured fighting vehicle designed for front-line combat which combines operational mobility and tactical offensive and defensive capabilities. Firepower is normally provided by a large-calibre main gun in a rotating turret and secondary machine guns, while heavy armour and all-terrain mobility provide protection for the tank and its crew, allowing it to perform all primary tasks of the armoured troops on the battlefield.
So, why is the vehicle in the Reuters video not a tank? It's tracked, designed for front-line combat, and has a gun in a turret. However, it does not have heavy armour, nor is the gun of large calibre. The BMP-1 is a Soviet design, introduced in the late 1960s. It has a 73mm gun, which might sound big, but the T-64A, a Soviet tank introduced around the same time, has a 125mm gun. The BMP-1 has an anti-tank guided missile because its gun isn't big enough to engage tanks, especially at long ranges.
The BMP-1 does not have "heavy armour". Its armour (up to 33mm thick) is much thinner than the T-64A's armour (up to 450mm thick). The role of tanks like the T-64A is to dominate the battlefield. They're designed to be virtually invulnerable, whilst being able to destroy anything they encounter. The BMP-1 is an infantry fighting vehicle. It can carry up to nine infantrymen, giving them some protection from its armour while they are on board, and when they get out to fight, it can provide support.
How to Recognise a Tank
This short list should help you spot the difference between tanks and other military vehicles. The list is based on post-WWII tanks, since they're the ones most likely to be seen on the news. There are exceptions to these rules, but they will suffice for most people.

Sensory Neuroscience: Four Laws of Psychophysics
by Jozef J. ZwislockiSensory Neuroscience: Four Laws of Psychophysics organizes part of psychophysics -- a science of quantitative relationships between human sensations and the stimuli that evoke them. Although psychophysics belongs to sensory neuroscience, and is coupled to neurophysiology, it has also branched out to various specialized disciplines, including the disciplines of vision and hearing, ophthalmology, optometry, otology, and audiology. Due to this diversification and fragmentation, psychophysics has had an ad-hoc, phenomenological orientation. Besides Weber's law of differential sensitivity, and the still-controversial Stevens' power law, it has lacked a systematic grid of scientific laws. Sensory Neuroscience: Four Laws of Psychophysics provides valid unifying principles and systematic applications for this otherwise fragmented precursor of experimental psychology, and defines four multisensory relationships of substantial generality between sensations and the underlying stimulus variables. This book will be particularly useful to auditory researchers, experimental psychologists, and behavioral neuroscientists.

Principled Negotiation and Mediation in the International Arena
by Paul J. ZwierThis book argues that it can be beneficial for the United States to talk with 'evil' - terrorists and other bad actors - if it engages a mediator who shares the United States' principles yet is pragmatic. It shows how the US can make better foreign policy decisions and demonstrate its integrity for promoting democracy and human rights, by employing a mediator who facilitates disputes between international actors by moving them along a continuum of principles, as political parties act for a country's citizens. This is the first book to integrate theories of rule of law development with conflict resolution methods, and it examines ongoing disputes in the Middle East, North Korea, South America and Africa. It draws on the author's experiences with The Carter Center and judicial and legal advocacy training to provide a sophisticated understanding of the current situation in these countries and of how a strategy of principled pragmatism will give better direction to US foreign policy abroad.

The Cambridge Companion to English Literature 1650-1740
by Steven N. ZwickerThis volume offers an account of English literary culture in one of its most volatile and politically engaged moments. From the work of Milton and Marvell in the 1650s and 1660s through the brilliant careers of Dryden, Rochester, and Behn, Locke and Astell, Swift and Defoe, Pope and Montagu, the pressures and extremes of social, political, and sexual experience are everywhere reflected in literary texts: in the daring lyrics and intricate political allegories of this age, in the vitriol and bristling topicality of its satires as well as in the imaginative flight of its mock epics, fictions, and heroic verse. The volume's chronologies and select bibliographies will guide the reader through texts and events, while the fourteen essays commissioned for this Companion will allow us to read the period anew.
The Cambridge Companion to John Dryden
by Steven N. ZwickerJohn Dryden, Poet Laureate to Charles II and James II, was one of the great literary figures of the late seventeenth century. This Companion provides a fresh look at Dryden's tactics and triumphs in negotiating the extraordinary political and cultural revolutions of his time. The newly commissioned essays introduce readers to the full range of his work as a poet, as a writer of innovative plays and operas, as a purveyor of contemporary notions of empire, and most of all as a man intimate with the opportunities of aristocratic patronage as well as the emerging market for literary gossip, slander and polemic. Dryden's works are examined in the context of seventeenth-century politics, publishing and ideas of authorship. A valuable resource for students and scholars, the Companion includes a full chronology of Dryden's life and times and a detailed guide to further reading.
Beware of Pity
by Stefan Zweig Trevor Blewitt Joan Accocella Phyllis BlewittThe great Austrian writer Stefan Zweig was a master anatomist of the deceitful heart, and Beware of Pity, the only novel he published during his lifetime, uncovers the seed of selfishness within even the finest of feelings.Hofmiller, an Austro-Hungarian cavalry officer stationed at the edge of the empire, is invited to a party at the home of a rich local landowner, a world away from the dreary routine of the barracks. The surroundings are glamorous, wine flows freely, and the exhilarated young Hofmiller asks his host--s lovely daughter for a dance, only to discover that sickness has left her painfully crippled. It is a minor blunder that will destroy his life, as pity and guilt gradually implicate him in a well-meaning but tragically wrongheaded plot to restore the unhappy invalid to health.

Your Money and Your Brain: How the New Science of Neuroeconomics Can Help Make You Rich
by Jason ZweigWhat happens inside our brains when we think about money? Quite a lot, actually, and some of it isn't good for our financial health. In Your Money and Your Brain, Jason Zweig explains why smart people make stupid financial decisions -- and what they can do to avoid these mistakes. Zweig, a veteran financial journalist, draws on the latest research in neuroeconomics, a fascinating new discipline that combines psychology, neuroscience, and economics to better understand financial decision making. He shows why we often misunderstand risk and why we tend to be overconfident about our investment decisions. Your Money and Your Brain offers some radical new insights into investing and shows investors how to take control of the battlefield between reason and emotion. Your Money and Your Brain is as entertaining as it is enlightening. In the course of his research, Zweig visited leading neuroscience laboratories and subjected himself to numerous experiments. He blends anecdotes from these experiences with stories about investing mistakes, including confessions of stupidity from some highly successful people. Then he draws lessons and offers original practical steps that investors can take to make wiser decisions. Anyone who has ever looked back on a financial decision and said, "How could I have been so stupid?" will benefit from reading this book.
Romancing the Shadow: Illuminating the Dark Side of the Soul
by Connie Zweig Steven WolfBeneath the social mask we wear every day, we have a hidden shadow side: an impulsive, wounded, sad, or isolated part that we generally try to ignore, but which can erupt in hurtful ways. As therapists Connie Zweig and Steve Wolf show in this landmark book, the shadow can actually be a source of emotional richness and vitality, and acknowledging it can be a pathway to healing and an authentic life. "Romancing the shadow"--meeting your dark side, beginning to understand its unconscious messages, and learning to use its powerful energies in productive ways--is the challenging and exciting soul work that Zweig and Wolf offer in this practical, rewarding guide.Drawing on the timeless teachings of Carl Jung and compelling stories from their clinical practices, Zweig and Wolf reveal how the shadow guides your choices in love, sex, marriage, friendship, work, and family life. With their innovative method, you can uncover the unique patterns and purpose of your shadow and learn to defuse negative emotions; reclaim forbidden or lost feelings; achieve greater self-acceptance; heal betrayal; reimagine and re-create relationships; cultivate compassion for others; renew creative expressions; and find purpose in your suffering.The shadow knows why good people sometimes do bad things. Romancing the shadow and learning to read the messages it encodes in daily life can deepen your consciousness, imagination, and soul.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
by Richard Zuwallack Linda NiciChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. By 2020, COPD is expected to be the fifth leading cause of disability and the third leading cause of death. COPD is associated with significant co-morbid illnesses including cardiovascular disease, pulmonary vascular disease, osteoporosis, depression and thoracic malignancies. In addition, COPD patients often have systemic manifestations of their disease, including peripheral muscle dysfunction, decreased activity levels and nutritional abnormalities, all of which contribute to poor functional status, decreased quality of life and increased health care utilization. Lack of recognition and understanding of the complex interactions of these common co-morbid conditions and systemic effects often contributes to sub-optimal care for patients with COPD. Comprehensive in covering the range of co-morbidities that often accompany COPD, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Co-Morbidities and Systemic Consequences provides a concise, evidence-based review of the problem and its systemic manifestations. All physicians interested in this growing disorder - from subspecialists to primary care providers -will find in this timely and informative title the practical, state-of-the art approaches needed to provide targeted, integrated care for patients with COPD.

Miss Brenda and the Loveladies
by Irene Zutell Brenda SpahnOne woman's fight to provide hope for the hopeless... Seven ex-cons who changed her heart forever... For Brenda Spahn, entrepreneur and businesswoman, wealth was a lifestyle--until a brush with the law threatened to send her to prison. In those dark moments, Brenda made a promise to God. Spared incarceration, a renewed Brenda glimpsed into the lives of women serving time in one of the worst places in America--the Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women in Wetumpka, Alabama. What she saw prompted a God-inspired vision. With a heart to help and a will that couldn't be crushed, Brenda fought the system and overcame tremendous obstacles to take ex-cons into her own home and help them navigate the alien world of life on the outside. This is the story of Brenda's journey from rags to riches to redemption. It's the story of the first unlikely year of her "Whole Way House" and of the extraordinary lives of the first seven women who came to call her "Miss Brenda." It's a story that testifies to the power of faith and how God changes hearts every day.
They're Not Your Friends
by Irene ZutellLook Out for Falling Stars Charlotte "Lottie" Love has a thing for celebrity. Actually, it's more of an obsession. All her life she's lurked in the shadows of Hollywood, desperate to step into the light. When she lands a job at Personality magazine, her dreams of red-carpet strolls, popping flashbulbs, and the attention of white-hot heartthrobs finally start to come true. Even Hollywood's latest "It" boy falls for her, and everyone wants his story. Can Lottie score the scoop? Ask Lem Brac, a British boozehound in the twilight of a mediocre career who knows an exclusive with the It boy would save his job. Lem looks for help from his new (and only) friend--Mike Posner, a young hotshot reporter just hired away from a New York tabloid. But Mike has some damaging secrets himself that are about to surface. He needs the interview too, and it's anyone's guess how far he'll go to get it. Welcome to the world of entertainment journalism and star worship, where you're only as good as the gossip you dig up. Written by a former People magazine correspondent who knows the underbelly of Hollywood hearsay all too well, They're Not Your Friends slips past the velvet rope and grants access to a wickedly funny--and sometimes scary--celebrity magazine scene. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist-books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau.This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul.

Jane Austen in Boca (2002) by Paula Marantz Cohen is the only novel I've ever read featuring a blurb by Joan Rivers. Cohen is an English Professor who has now written three novels, all quite funny, all romances wrapped around plots borrowed from elsewhere. I wrote a bit about the other two, Much Ado About Jesse Kaplan, and Jane Austen in Scarsdale, or Love, Death, and the SATs, back here.
This one is Pride and Prejudice set in a Boca Raton retirement community. Is it necessary to say "Jewish retirement community"? I didn't think so. It's Boca Raton, FL, for Pete's sake.
So Elizabeth Bennet becomes Flo, a widow, a former University of Chicago librarian. Sweeter, prettier sister Jane becomes May, Flo's sweeter, prettier friend. Darcy is a curmudgeonly retired English professor at Florida Atlantic University, who falls for Elizabeth, sorry, Flo, because she's interesting. Other correspondences are created, modified, or discarded as needed. Great fun, and mostly just an excuse to put a plot around a gentle, humorous novel about life in a Florida retirement community.
Near the end of the book, Darcy, no, Stan, leads a seminar on Pride and Prejudice at the retirement community. I suspect the resulting chapter is nothing more than a transcription from Paula Marantz Cohen's own seminar. Some samples:
"Once you get used to the Old English, it reads very fast."
"I didn't know they were sarcastic back then, but I guess being sarcastic isn't necessarily modern."
"I had four sisters, too. My mother didn't stop shvitzing until we were all married. I feel for that Mrs. Bennet."
One more, and I'll stop:
"'Herb was like that [like Mr. Bennet] with the children ,' noted Dorothy Meltzer, whose deeply tanned visage was decorated with several Band-Aids marking the removal of the latest basal-cell skin cancer. She wore them as proudly as a German officer sported his saber scars. 'He went into the den with a sandwich whenever Melissa and I would start screaming. Even now, when there's noise, he can't digest.'
Several women nodded. They, too, had known men to hide in the den with a sandwich. Mrs. Bennet had their sympathy." (p. 250)
Jane Austen in Boca is definitely in the chick lit genre, retiree subcategory. I maintain - prove me wrong! - that it's the only chick lit novel that features a cameo by Saul Bellow.* Now I've read all three of Paula Marantz Cohen's novels, still the only examples of chick lit I've read. One might think that I was slumming in my vacation reading. I was, but not with this clever, light novel. Next week, the slumming.
* Since Flo / Elizabeth was a librarian at the University of Chicago. That reminds me, I should tell my Saul Bellow story. So one time, around 1994 or 1995, I stood behind Bellow in the checkout line at the Regenstein library. I didn't realize it was him until he turned to leave, so I didn't see what books he had.
Yeah, that's the whole story.

Pride and Prejudice and Yentas - cameo by Saul Bellow
7 comments:
In spite of the phrase, "featuring a blurb by Joan Rivers," and based only on your comments, I might be tempted to take a look at the Cohen books; however, any book with a blurb by Joan Rivers has a steep hill to climb if it seeks to overcome my negative first impression. Joan Rivers? Actually, perhaps I'm not ready for a book in which the borscht belt of the Sunshine State meets Jane Austen. Am I being too judgmental?
ReplyDeleteNicole, you bring up a point I was reluctant to mention, but what the heck. Out in the litblogosphere, there's a lot of Austeniana, most of which is, let's see, of extremely low quality. So I have been surprised at the low visibility of her books. Austen junkies: read these!
R.T. - marketing cuts both way, doesn't it? Older Jewish women are obviously the target audience, and rightly so. But emphasize that audience too much and you scare away other people.
If I had been browsing a bookstore, I probably would have reacted the same way: Joan Rivers blurb = Not For Me. I would have been wrong.Now that I've read this, I agree: it's charming enough to deserve a higher profile in the annoyingly endless stream of Austeniana. But then, it does approach Jane from a rather specialized angle! I too found the seminar among the best scenes and all too familiar (though in my case it was Hard Times that prompted the comment about Old English). Perhaps (tentatively) you might be amused by Bridget Jones's Diary, which is a more clever book than it is a movie...just in case, that is, you are ever tempted to expand your chick lit horizons.

Sonic Adventure is a brilliant game with 6 characters to play as*.Sonic, Tails, Big, Amy, E-102 and Super Sonic*. The 3D Adventure Fields, Action Stages and sub-games are real time 3D, not like Sonic 3D. The characters each have their own set of events and storyline, which take part at different times, eg. after a few levels with Sonic, ... Read the complete review

This was one of the first games I got with my Dreamcast and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I was already a Sonic fan, but this is my favourite game in the series. Somehow it manages to transfer the gameplay of the 2D games into its 3D world. The ability to play several different characters with different skill adds variety to the game. ...

I like many other people loved the original sonic games, and so rushed out and bought Sonic adventure on launch day. The first thing that strikes you about this game is the awesome graphics, and also the speed they move at. Sometimes it really makes you feel queasy playing as sonic burns around loops and all sorts of obstacles, however I ... Read the complete review

Sonic is back and he means business! Work together against Dr Robotnik in this fast paced action adventure. Control up to six wicked characters including Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, E102 and Big the cat.

Sonic's back, and this time he has an extra dimension! The megadrive (genesis) sonic games were classics. They were one of the reasons that the system was such a success, even against stiff competition from the SNES.

Probably the pilot game of the Dreamcast, Sonic Adventure is by far one of my favourite games. The graphics are incredible as is the sheer speed of the game, and there's a great story.

Sonic Adventure Will the game's high points be enough for you to put up with the occasional breakdown in coherency? I can practically still hear the tapping. I can almost see the arms folded.

Sonic on the Dreamcast should have been a breathtaking experience, and for some it was. Though the graphics are pretty good, they are not as polished as you would have hoped for.

I always liked Sonic over Mario. Sonic Adventure uses your dreamcast to its full capacity. Sonic Adventure has the best graphics I have ever seen for any dreamcast title.

Answer = Well Maybe The graphics are more than impressive with some very nice 3D elements and some nice touches. The FMV is great and some of the best around.

When Sonic The Hedgehog first appeared on the Sega Megadrive, it seemed to stretch gaming boundaries. Its incredible speed and cartoon graphics dazzled, entertained and set the pace for future games. It seems fitting, then, that when Sega launched their new generation console, Sonic Adventure should spearhead the new assault. Right from ... Read the complete review

of Total Recall was all right the other night - different enough but similar enough if you get my drift.
DDD - not bad, thought the follow-up DDD-2 was better though.Haven't seen "Ted" yet - will look out for it. Isn't "Homeland" too much of a tub-thumping jingoistic propaganda show, something like "24" became?Prometheus was brilliant, saw it in the cinema last year. Only thing I saw, actually.Remake of Total Recall, eh? Didn't know there was one. Trouble with the Bourne stuff (particularly the 2nd one) was that it was all shaky-cam. I absolutely hate shaky-cam - it's just an excuse for lazy directing and it utterly old hat now.*Saw Gran Torino and Unforgiven in a C.E. box set since xmas - both were very good. I'd also recommend Inception for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Took a good couple of viewings to figure out wth was going on, though.

County extend Barazite loan
01 Jan 2009 - 08:42:43
Derby County have been boosted by the news that loan midfielder Nacer Barazite will remain at Pride Park until the end of the season.
The 18-year-old Dutchman has made 19 appearances for the Rams to date and has shown up well despite their dismal run of form in the Championship.
Caretaker boss Chris Hutchings told the club's official website: "It is a big boost to have secured Nacer's services for the rest of the season, including the cup matches.
"He is a fantastic talent and has applied himself well since he has been here.
"We are grateful to Arsenal for extending the loan. I think they know he is in very good hands here, at a first-class club."

text: Like any self-respecting alt-country artist, Neko Case would probably love to leave alt-country behind -- along with the negative connotations the term's overuse has spawned -- but the well-deep voice that's earned her deserved comparisons to Patsy Cline has made it difficult for her to escape the tag. Case was covering Scott Walker as far back as her 1997 debut, and she's been the female foil of Canadian alt-rock supergroup the New Pornographers for nearly a decade. Her fifth solo album places her squarely in the genreless no-man's-land of the supremely confident artist; drawn in equal measure from '60s pop, soul and Nashville, it nonetheless manages to avoid both slickness and cliches. But Case's insistence that Fox Confessor is a collection of fables hints at its flaw: Steeped in the Southern Gothic arcana that took onetime touring partner and Anti- labelmate Nick Cave a long time to outgrow, Fox's Faulkner-esque poetry makes some numbers -- "Dirty Knife," in particular -- nearly inscrutable. Although Case's haunted voice fills in a lot of subtext, a more direct approach could have brought this flood to many more parched souls.

Gerry Buteau '86, '92G is an associate professor in the Education Department at Plymouth State University. Gerry earned a BS in Elementary Education and a MEd in Guidance and Counseling from Plymouth State in 1986 and 1992, respectively.
One of Gerry's fondest Plymouth State memories was his time as a graduate assistant in the education department while he was working toward his master's degree. Gerry worked alongside many of the professors he'd had as an undergraduate student and met some wonderful people in the program. "One of my very best friends to this day came about as a result of my time spent as a grad assistant," he says. If given the opportunity to go back and do things differently he says he would spend more time on campus on the weekends, given the fact that he had to work off campus most weekends.
Currently, Gerry coaches youth sports in his community and serves on various committees at Plymouth State. Gerry resides in Moultonborough, NH.
Gerry's second term on the board of directors ends in 2016.

I just got a bunch of skirts of Ebay and I am planning on making Jigs for salt water out of them. I know how to make spinnerbaits but how do I keep the skirts right next to the jig head? I thought about using thread for flyting but the skirts will be very thick and I doubt it will hold very well. Will the skirt bands hold it in place?Would a really small rubberband like the ones used for braces work?Anyhting els eI can try when I finally get them?

Our January 2008 Meeting by Chris Agrippe CPCE
C'mon and get your net...WORKING!
by: Chris Agrippe, CPCE:
NACE members and friends joined the "after work chic set" on January 8 at barWEST in PB as we wound down from the busy holiday season and did what we do best… meet, mingle and schmooz. Our chapter can take socializing to an art form, and the evening was designed to simply let it roll.
We snacked on some of the more popular offerings from barWEST's dinner menu including Pizza by Cirro, Salads, Imported Cheeses, and some of the best Sliders we've ever tasted.
Drinks were made by mixologists who were hired for their personality and as well as good looks, and the dj kept the vibe chill with down-tempo house grooving softly in the background
Our program for the evening was networking, and NACE members were the stars, as new and old business acquaintances were made and renewed.
In case there were novices in the crowd we even provided a list of networking how-to's at the door.
Some of the tips included:
•Look for ways that your resources and talents can help fulfill colleagues' personal and professional goals.
•Think of networking as teaching what you're good at.
•Introduce people to one another.
•Explain what you do in a way that starts a conversation.
•Use conversations as a way to exchange business cards.
•That "always on" attitude is an important step toward making new contacts that can help build your business and career.
"You never know when an opportunity will present itself, and when it does, you have to be ready and willing to act!"

Showcasing is easy…interested? Email me: firstname.lastname@example.com or call me at 619-593-7367 to get you on the schedule for 2008. It's up to you to take advantage of this opportunity…I hope you do
Our photographs this month were taken by Carolyn Marie of Charisma Photography. Carolyn received the June Bowerman "Spirit of NACE" award in October of 2008 for her 15 years of commitment to our chapter and dedication to NACE.
She has been the photographer for many of our dinner meetings over the years and during our 2004 Educational Conference shot all of the pictures during the five days of events.
As with any good photographer, Carolyn tends to blend into the background, but we're also fortunate when she comes out from behind the camera to mix and mingle with us.
