User talk:Benedikt
Hi Benedict, your statistics page is out of order. Might be correctable by modifying the MediaWiki: pages. ku:User:Erdal_Ronahi
Thanks for pointing that out, I had a look; did you mean the date and time bar? I didn't find anything where to change that, nor any cue at the WikiSpecies profile. Maybe you can add what you miss. The timebar seems to work fine from my point of view. Best, Benedikt

- Wikispecies:Block log; 18:18 . . Benedikt (Talk) (blocked "18.104.22.168" with an expiry time of 10000 hours: vandalizing main page)
Hello Benedikt, are you sure that it´s really useful or even necessary to block a changing IP for such a long time? In all other Wikimedia projects 1-2 (-24) hours are normally used for blocking. --Bdk 18:39, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I am not familiar with the blocking policies of other projects (as I'm no wiki-veteran as most other users), and thought that somebody writing 'Welcome, Asshole!' to the main page demonstrates a lack of will to contribute useful data - so I thought it is appropriate to ban this IP. If that's different in other Wikimedia projects, I can decrease the blocking time to the one you suggested. Thanks for pointing that out, best, Benedikt
- It is because most IPs are dynamic, so at another time this IP would be used by another person and the same troll may also come back with a different IP within minutes. So please deblock that IP. Thanx --Bdk 03:34, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Take a look at the Lepidoptera Taxonavigation to Pierini please, there are at least 2 more levels possible, and if you want to get into cohorts subcohorts etc. as many as 8. I'm not advocating abbreviating the navigation, far from it, however with insecta the boxes can get very long. Williamb 14:20, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- True, taxonomy can become quite extensive and rather esotheric than scientific - I suggest personally to understand the taxonavigation as the use of the most common clades that should serve the user to have an orientation within the tree. We should cover as many taxons as possible, but I recommend everybody not to bee too anal about levels of taxa; to everybody worried about the taxonavigation: work with information as accurate as possible, but don't expect the taxonavigation ever to become a 'right' or even 'current' tree. It should provide a red line through the regna. Thanks! Benedikt
License ?[edit]
Hi, what is the license of the wikispecies logo ? Can you answer me on http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_Utilisateur:Tipiac ? Thanks in advance. 220.127.116.11 08:18, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Your Logo[edit]
Hi Benedikt. Do you have a colour version of your WikiSpecies logo? How about using the Wikimedia colours to give a green insect on a red flower (or something similar)? If you don't have the time or inclination, then I'd happily update it for you if you send me the source - I think it'd brighten the place up a bit and make it clearer what it's an image of. I don't check here very often at all, so please leave any response at my Wikipedia talk page. Happy Christmas (if that's appropriate!) --HappyDog 23:10, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Conflict with wikipedia[edit]
I believe Phacochoerus is an example of what is seen as wikipedia conflict, what do you think?
Seems to be wrong german common name at Homininae? Its translatad to echte menschen (true humans) but cotains apes.Dan Koehl 20:09, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
- Hm, tricky bit...welcome to the battleground of phylogeny, I would say. Obviously, the vernacular name of "Menschen" wouldn't include Gorillas and Schimpansen; IMHO there is not one single vernacular name that reflects Homininae, so I split it into two (Menschenaffen would include orangutans, which is not conform with modern cladistics...).

Copyright of File:Wikispecies logo.png[edit]
Can you please put the {{CopyrightByWikimedia}} template on it? Now we have a logo which I should in fact have deleted because there was no license info... Ucucha (talk) 06:38, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
2 Questions[edit]
The Wikispecies logo here looks way cool. Why is the Wikipedia template pointing to Wikimedia using something different (the fly/flower logo)?
I am struggling through an online biology class at my college and I'm misunderstanding something about homonid taxonomy. My textbook tells me that "All humanlike and human species, past and present, are known as the homonids." First, does Hominidae = Homonid? Second, does Hominidae include anything but humans and our extinct ancestors? The second part is where the Wikipedia, Wikispecies, and my textbook disagree. My textbook claims that only humans and our ancestors belong to Hominidae.
I greatly appreciate any light you can help shed on the subject.
Feel free to respond on my Wikipedia Talk

rename account[edit]
I would like to rename my account to a new name; "Niduzzi", as my current name ("Izzudin") is already in use in id: and ar: by others. So I can't unify my account. Thanks! Izzudin 12:55, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Forced user renames coming soon for SUL[edit]
Hi, sorry for writing in English. I'm writing to ask you, as a bureaucrat of this wiki, to translate and review the notification that will be sent to all users, also on this wiki, who will be forced to change their user name on May 27 and will probably need your help with renames. You may also want to help with the pages m:Rename practices and m:Global rename policy. Thank you, Nemo 17:10, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Vernacular names[edit]
You can now combine the languages into a single template OhanaUnitedTalk page 23:39, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
An important message about renaming users[edit]
Dear Benedikt,
I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.
As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.
Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.
The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.
Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.
In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.
Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.
Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) talk 18:24, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Our store is located on the main shopping street in Cork - Patrick Street, which opened back in 2006. This store now also hosts a range of styles from our schuh kids range! The city is in the south-west coast of Ireland and is the country's second largest city after Dublin. Cork has a busy tourist market and a large University with plenty of students. Divided by two main channels of the River Lee, you often find yourself constantly crossing bridges so the best way to get around the city is on foot.
Andrew 09/08/2012
Very pleased with the service and Emma was most helpful. Will definitely return.

Darragh Woods 31/08/2012
The people in the shop were really nice and helpful!!!
They helped me find the right size shoe and even told me cool ways to wear it too! Everyone in the shop was lovely and when I was leaving the shop with my new shoes, I thought to myself
"I'd love to work there" because I'd be surrounded by nice people haha!
Thanks again for the lovely shoes!
Niomh McCollam 11/09/2012

Hi. Visually impaired so shopping difficult. Staff in cork branch were superb. Knew their stock, suggested alternatives, retrieved sizes quickly, very friendly and helpful and, importantly, guide dog friendly. A pleasure to shop there.
ivan ahern 09/09/2012

Excellent service, really top notch. Never ever do these feeback things but felt obliged due to level of excellent service from not just one but many staff memeers
Liz Smith 16/10/2012
I was in the store on Saturday afternoon. I was served by John, a very helpful & friendly assistant who kept smiling even after bringing me numerous boots to try on. However, the layout of the shop could be improved as when I was trying on boots I had to constantly move out of the way of other customers.
Mary O Donovan 16/11/2012
First time shopping in Schuh and I absolutely loved it. The atmosphere in the shop was great. My daughter was looking for a pair of Toms for Christmas, I went into your shop recently and a lovely man named Anthony helped me choose between a few different styles of Toms. He has such great product knowledge and informed of the amazing returns policy if they didn't fit my daughter. Really delightful staff in Cork, definitely going back.
Sylvia 18/11/2012
I have shopped in the Cork store many times and always find that whether it is busy or quiet there is always someone available to help me and give me advice on any product I ask about. I visited the Cork store again yesterday and was served by Emma who was extremely helpful when I was trying to decide on boots to buy. She showed me the Red Or Dead brand boots when I mentioned that the two other pairs I tried on had very thin soles and told me she owned a pair herself which were both comfortable and hard-wearing compared to the first brand I had picked. As there wasn't a huge difference in the price range I felt she was really going out of her way to ensure I got the best value for the money I was spending as I want to buy a pair of boots that will last for a while. When I mentioned that I would wait until closer to Christmas to actually buy the boots she told me I could put them on hold online or by ringing the store in case they were sold out and also told me I had a year to return them which I couldn't believe! Even though I wasn't buying the boots that day and it was very busy I still felt like I had all her attention and she was very helpful. While I was waiting I also saw another boy serving sports shoes to a family and he was just as polite and helpful so it is obvious that all the staff in the store are very nice and friendly. The one complaint I would have is that the shop was so busy it was very hard to move around and look at things properly, the chairs and shelves seem very cramped when there are a lot of people and maybe this is why I did not spot the brand of boots myself that Emma showed me. All in all I had an excellent experience despite how busy the store was and I will definitely be back to buy boots for myself and shoes for my daughter before Christmas. Thank you!
Lynda McDonnell 17/11/2012
Extremely helpful sales assistant (Sine). Very efficient and friendly which made my usual hatred of shoe shopping no longer a chore to be endured but a pleasure. Many thanks.
judy lynch 13/01/2013
loren served me and emma was the cashier. could not praise the two of them highly enough extremely helpful and informative. fantastic customer service.
Aeda Baker 24/01/2013
Staff were very efficient, polite and friendly! One staff member apologised three times because he had to go upstairs to get the shoes and thought he was too long!! He was only gone one minute.
Megan Ford 28/01/2013
Got really great help from Elaina and Aileen in the Cork City store. Super helpful and efficient!
Linda O'Sullivan 26/11/2012
Bought Converse for my son and a pair of Hush Puppy heels for myself. Dave was serving me and was really helpful! Had no problem bringing down different shoes to try on, and seemed to have a great knowledge of different converse i was looking at.. Very kind and we had good banter as well! Love shopping in Schuh thanks :)
Sean McDonnell 27/11/2012
Staff were very attentive and not too much so, which is annoying sometimes in terms of just a browsing visit. They were very helpful (I dealt with a few staff members), informing me if they had to go to the stockroom for a few minutes etc.
They explained the returns policy for me and were patent, chatty, and smiley at all times (I am very thorough when trying on shoes). When the shoes I had in mind were unavailable, they were quick to offer a similar alternative.
Both my sister and my girlfriend shopped there on separate occasions and have similar compliments to pay towards the staff.
It was neither the first time I've shopped there, nor will it be my last!
Gary O Sullivan 30/11/2012
Love my new DCs. Great service in shop even though was very busy. Shop assistant, Susie, was great, helping me pick a pair of shoes when the ones I wanted weren't there.
Aishling Brett 06/12/2012
The customer service was excellent and the staff were so friendly. I felt welcome the minute i stepped inside the door and was happy to spend my money :)
Jean Crowley 23/05/2013
I don't normally bother giving feedback from shop service as its generally fairly weak in Cork unfortunately. But having worked years in hospitality I know I was always delighted to get credit when I went out of my way for customers, so just want to give a big thanks to the guys and girls in Schuh on Patrick St.
Yesterday I had the shop put aside a pair of black and white Date Night heels and got really really quick and friendly service from Ken.
Went to collect them today and though the place was a bit busy I was immediately helped by a girl Aileen, she was a bit run off her feet but helped change size in a couple of minutes and was really kind and helpful.
The girl at the desk (Shauna) was really chatty and friendly as well, over all genuinely really great service. I'm a student so I don't usually have the money to fork out for Schuh so haven't been in in ages but have to say I was delighted with the service at every stage and will definitely be back to ye!
Kathryn Coleman 27/05/2013
Was looking for particular pair of classic vans shoes for my son. Rang the store in Cork as I couldn't find the shoes on line. The girl I was dealing with couldn't have been more pleasant, she checked the stock and found the last pair in his size and colour. She kept them aside till my son collected them later that evening. I was very pleased with the service. Nice to see that there are still good sales assistants around. Kathryn
Simon 02/06/2013
good welcome, great customer approach, immediate advice/help, suggestions and friendly conversation :-)
p.s. the heat inside the store... too warm
dee delany 31/12/2012
I was recently in the cork branch of the franchise and was helped by a member of staff (Grace). I just wanted to email you to tell you what an asset she is to your team. she could not have been more helpful and friendly even though it was christmas week and i could see she was extremely busy. working in customer service myself I know how dificult it can be dealing with the public day in day out so just pass on my thanks to Grace.
Kind regards
Dee Delany
Timi McCarthy 03/01/2013
Very helpful staff. Lovely girl called Fiona tried her best to order 2 pairs of shoes for me. Unfortunately one pair could not be sent to either my home or store through shop system so she gave me the code etc & explained how to order them online which I have successfully done. So 2 lovely new pairs of shoes on the way. Thanks Fiona!
Jan C 07/01/2013
I had to come and commend you on the service I recieved in the Schuh store on Patrick Street in Cork. I went in, during the sales, looking for a particular shoe which I had seen online. Even though the store was very busy, I was still assisted by your shop assistant, Julie (I believe that was her name!). She asked the shoe, size, type and if I remembered the price, i gave her all the details, she showed me the shoes on the computer just to verify and had them sent straight to the till, I was in and out very fast. She was extremely pleasant and helpful. I've shopped with ye both online and in store many a time and never had a problem anyway, but I really had to congratulate ye on hiring some great staff!
Andrea 28/07/2013
Great service by assistant Eilin who helped me look for the best comfortable flip flop and Shauna at the till, very pleasant and helpful.
Caroline Ryan 01/08/2013
Just yesterday I was in the Schuh store in Cork city. I had been pressed for time to get a pair of shoes for my upcoming debs/prom. The staff were immensely helpful for me and helped me choose shoes and at the same time kept up a friendly banter to keep me at ease! If I could remember the girl's name I would recommend her, Karen perhaps? It was refreshingly nice to find staff like that in a chain store and I just want to thank you. I at least have one thing checked off my list for next week !
Kindest and most grateful regards,
Caroline Ryan

Michelle 28/01/2013
I really love your shop there is always a great choice. Staff are always very nice. I was in the cork store 2day and ken served me he was very helpful and really friendly. I never felt pressured to buy anything which I really hate when I am shopping. He done a great job and I hope he is rewarded for a good sale and a very happy customer )
Dermot O' Hara 21/06/2013
Emma was brilliant!
Anne Trant 24/06/2013
In general I hate shopping but when my daughter says "Mum I need shoes" my first question is "where do you want to go" , thankfully her response is Schuh, I am delighted, its such a pleasure to shop at schuh, the minute we enter the store there is always some one to welcome us, extremely well staffed, we are attended to straight away, and within seconds, Caoimhe is trying on shoes, the service is second to none, and I know of no other store where the service is so good, you certainly have the standard nailed. Excellent, excellent, customers for life.
Niamh 25/12/2013
the shop was really crowded when I went in. But in fact, it was a few days before Christmas so I should have expected that. But the staff were very helpful despite the crowds and I got really cool red converse. It would have been better if ye had size 5 and a half converse, but what can you do. Thanks.
paul 01/01/2014
shauna was very helpful and pleasent, (and totally hot!!) the shop is usually packed which makes it pretty difficult to find what your looking for. she was supper helpfull and got me what i wanted.
Andrea 27/12/2013
First.. The Store in Cork was my first contact. The Lady was really helpful she listened an ask the right question so that she transfered me to the call Center in UK, because I wasn't successful with my order on the website. (To deliver to store in. Cork)
The friendly Assistent Steven or Steve finished my order in a verry efficient manner and friendly with patient. So all in all I am very satisfied appart from ordering on website, maybe my fault I don't know.
I hope the Schuh product that I ordered will be fine. Thanks at all
Amanda Murry 27/12/2013
Bought a pair of Vans today in the Cork store and I must say I was very pleased with the quality of service I received. Was dealing with a guy called Ryan and he couldn't of been more helpful and polite even though the item I was buying was on sale and the store was very busy the quality of service I received was still 5 stars. Would definitely return :)
David Burlison 31/12/2013
Amazing service the best you get in any store. Friendly staff that are amazingly helpful.

Lee Barry 15/10/2013
Naomi and Shauna and Lisa were all very helpful with my purchase.
Even when they had to be changed for a bigger size a few days this was no issue and it was all dealt with quickly and very friendly.
conor murphy 17/09/2013
Staff are always excellent and friendly in the shop when you go in and ye have a great selection of shoes in the shop, but.....everytime you ask for a pair of shoes in this shop they don't have them in your size(mine being 11) and ask you do you want to order them and you will have them in 2-3 working days...if this happens once or twice then thats no problem, its just the fact this happens every time I go to the shop to buy shoes, its as if ye don't stock any shoes in the actual store, but ye just have displays for people to look at!?
Shaolin Casey 07/02/2013
They have really good staff!?
Lydia Crowley 02/02/2013
really friendly staff and amazing shoes.
Mary Margaret Buckley 05/02/2013

Mark O'Kelly 14/02/2013
I bought shoes today in Schuh DC spartan WC
The assistant Shane was very helpful and easy going
My mom said it was the fastest time buying shoes
Very good shop 10/10
Brittany Ingram 09/08/2013
I went in to get a second pair of work shoes, as I had gotten my first pair here about 2 months earlier and wanted to get a second to switch back and forth with. I am a server in a local restaurant and am on my feet for 10-12 hour shifts and need good support and shoes. Eilin helped me once again and was absolutely lovely. She even remembered my face and the shoes I had gotten 2 months earlier and was very friendly and personable! She helped me in purchasing another great pair of shoes for work and also recommended me getting insoles to make the shoes last longer as I had started to wear through my first pair. All in all, a great experience and a shop full of helpful and lovely employees! Sadly the insoles didn't work out, but I then went back and returned them and was helped again by a great manager and am very satisfied with both experiences at Shuh. I recommend Shuh to all my coworkers and friends in the industry and will continue doing so!
James 15/08/2013
Excellent service, very friendly staff and immediate response on entering the store! Would definitely go back, very satisfied! :)
Paul O'Keeffe 18/03/2013
The staff members were very polite and fast so I wasent waiting around for ages. Prices were reasonable. I would certainly recommend you to a friend
Laura 14/07/2013
Very helpful and friendly staff
Eilís Coughlan 13/07/2013
I bought a beautiful pair of burgundy vans in the Cork store this afternoon. I was amazed at the professionalism of the staff there, I was served by James, he was a pure delight! The store was very busy and
he was great, and had time for all my crazy whims and questions, and was so kind to me. I have shopped in many other shoe stores in my life and I have never been treated as well as I was today with James. He served me with a big smile on his face, and not in a patronising sense, which is all too apparent these days! Anyway, I wanted to say I enjoyed my experience and that James is amazing.
clara 14/07/2013

I just want to compliment one of your employees Karen. She provided very fast service. Offered many different options and alternatives and explained everything very well. I have never had a bad experience in schuh but this was by far the best experience I have had.
Yvonne Power 20/10/2013
As a mother of three teens, i am so impressed by the staff team in Schuh in Cork. 2 of my teens are presently going through the 'doc' stage, the interest, and patience that the staff gave them was most impressive. For a young staff team,they are very welcoming, obliging, courteous, always smiling, with the result that i now travel over 50miles when my children require footwear.
Alex 16/10/2013
Great customer service! Employees were all nice and happy to help. I'll definitely come back :)
Tom Barry 17/10/2013

In past visits to schuh in both Galway and Cork, I've had very positive experiences. Which is why when I'm considering buying shoes and boots, schuh is top of my list. On this occasion, it was even more so positive an experience. Shop assistants were visible from the moment I entered, gave me a chance to look around and let me know they were available if I needed anything, in a very friendly manner that made me feel like I could approach any of them at any stage for anything.
I was assisted by Cynthia, who was very friendly and very easy to get on with. She was patient with me and my indecision and helped me through the process. I actually didn't feel like she was a sales assistant, but more of a friend as she was very engaging, very easy to get along with, very positive and I was able to bounce off my thoughts with her and she had the ability in reciprocating and responding to whatever I was thinking in a very positive way. I felt that assisting me came quite naturally to her because of the way it was done, in a very positive and friendly way.
Overall I left really happy with the whole process, with what I wanted in my hand and really happy with the experience from all staff and Cynthia's assistance - which is in line with another retailer of different unrelated products that I also had a very positive experience with - and already know I'll be back again in schuh in the near future.
JP McCarthy 26/10/2013

Both sales assistant Feena and cashier Aileen, were extremely helpful and definitely made me feel welcome. Great job girls, keep it up!
Paul 04/06/2013
My biggest problem when it comes to shoes are my small feet. Trying to get nice shoes for a suit when you are only a size 6 is difficult. The chap that was serving me was extremely helpful and showed me the different mens shoes that came in a size 6. I was very very happy with the service and would be returning in the future.
Nico 06/06/2013

Padraig Power 11/04/2013
Great service! Ken that served me was extremely friendly and polite. I was unsure of what to buy, but explained my occasion and he helped me in every way possible. Thanks to Ken my visit was quick, pleasant and surprisingly fun! :)
I'd like to thank both Ken and Schuh for the fantastic service and will definitely be coming back again!
Louise Raymond 12/08/2013
My cashier was Emma who was extremely friendly and humorous, she was so helpful for my order form details and honestly brightened my day with her friendly smile. My assistant was Aaron who was friendly and helpful and extremely quick on his feet for me :) He checked the stock room and came straight back to me. My experience at your store was a great one.
Janice Buckley 19/08/2013
Visited your Cork store yesterday 18th of September and I have to give it 100% for service/store buzz/knowledge etc. I was met inside the store entrance with a bubbly sales assistant who immediately led me to the store manageress as we wanted to show her a shoe purchased in March. She in turn was most helpful and efficient and we left the store 10 minutes later extremely happy customers. It was the 2nd time in the store and both experiences were fantastic. Fabulous shop and will be shopping there again in the near future. Thank you to all in the Cork store.
Michael Stropek 21/08/2013
Dear Schuh,
I was shopping in your Cork store on the 14th Aug 2013 and the Staff was extremely helpful and patient assisting me . Everything has been handed quickly and accurately- I was well looked after. Your floor Staff is so nice and polite- that's why I will always return to Schuh: for funky shoes and this outstanding service.
Many thanks,
Camilla 20/08/2013
Went in to buy a pair of converse and within a minute, Adam (I think that was his name) was helping me and very kind. I was in and out in a matter of minutes and it was all around a great experience.
alberto 17/04/2013
Really good customer service. The shop was packed, but the shopping was very fast. Thank you!
Mary O' Neill 15/04/2013
Was in your store yesterday afternoon and everyone was so nice! I HATE shopping for shoes but I was helped by one of your staff called Shane and he was really friendly and bubbly and made the whole experience far less painful than it usually is!! He was able to answer all my questions and was really patient. Unfortunately I couldn't find boots that fitted right (always happens to me) but I will definitely be back again and will be telling all my friends about the excellent customer service!
Evelyn Richardson 13/04/2013
Both the cashier (Evelyn) and the assistant (shauna) were really lovely and very friendly, as well as helpful and professional. Excellent service! Thanks!
wilma murphy 03/05/2013
I was looking for a pair of comfortable shoes to take on holiday and was helped by a very friendly young lady called Sara. The shoes that I wanted did not fit and she recommend sketchers and I bought a pair, but the next morning when I tried it on, I found it was one number too big. I returned to the store and was helped by a girl called Karen, she did not find the correct size but brought another style in my number which fitted perfectly. I was then helped by a guy named Adam to do the actual return and refund. I found the staff very helpful and it was a most enjoyable experience.
Edwina Murray 04/05/2013
Lisa was brilliant for customer service, held the shoes for me and as they were the last pair and stretched from people trying them kn. She held a pair that were being delivered at lunch time. Fantastic service

Paul Hopkinson 27/08/2013
Just thought i'd let you know about the brilliant service we received in your Cork branch yesterday.
The assistant Estefania was friendly,attentive,helpful and patient whilst helping us to buy school shoes for my son.
In what must be a competitive business and a clearly customer focussed environment Estefania is simply perfect.Give her a pay rise!.
Please pass on our thanks to her,we will certainly chose Schuh again.

Gavin Carey 05/12/2012
Just writing to say that i only shop in Schuh for my footwear. Customer service is always second to none and the efficiency is top class. I will say though that your prices are slightly higher than most other footwear and sport shops but i don't mind paying the extra as the customer service is so good.
Thanks a million guys,
Jennifer O Connor 06/12/2012
bought some white adidas with my son last week, was delighted with the service, we were served by a very friendly young girl called Tracey. Very helpful and a pride to your store.

Peter O' Brien 03/12/2012
Had a great experience in store. The vans I was looking for were out of stock but the wonderful store assistant Sara showed me all the similar products that were available in store and I found an almost identical pair for €5 less. The cashier Alan was very pleasant and clearly explained the returns policy to me. Great customer service experience all around. Keep up the good work guys!!
Judith Hickey 12/12/2012
I recently ordered a pair of vans from your cork store. I am sending this email to inform you of how pleased i was with my purchase. As the shop did not have my size they ordered them and they delivered to my house within 2 working days including free delivery. I am extremely happy with my purchase and look forward to shopping with ye again i the future.
Margaret O Keeffe 08/12/2012
when i arrived i was unable to find the shoes i was looking for i was asked if i was ok and then shown where they were and i was given the sizes i needed and was given some advice about in-soles and was taken care of at the counter where i was given advice about how to use a product in which to preserve my new DC high tops which give plenty of support around my ankle.my needs were taken care of and i was very, very happy happy with the service. :):):):):):)
Marcus 11/12/2012
i was content, there are too many shoes

I arrived into the store just before closing on a sunday and the store was extremely busy but I found all the staff i dealt with, a female assistant who first approached me, the male staff assistant that got my shoe size and the cashier who finally dealt with me, all very friendly, efficient and professional, especially considering the pressure they were under. I congratulate them and you, Schuh, for the hiring of such excellent people. I would hihgly recommend Schuh based on this positive experience.
corkery 26/12/2012
lovely attendant, very helpful and fast yet not hasty.
garry o shea 20/12/2012
hi , i bought a pair of shoes here the ikon spencer wing brogue on 17/12/2012 @17.57
the girl that was helping me with sizes on the floor was the nicest most joyful happy go lucky chatty beautiful girl and so so so helpful..
it was a pleasure to be in the shop and she was a real diamond to deal with. i didnt catch her name but she was small about 5foot shoulder length brown fair hair , but you should be so proud to hold a staff member like her , lovely shop to browse around in thank you.
just one thing i payed 70euro for the shoes perfect fit and all that but the sole was very slippy i had to bring them to a cobbler and get a rubber sole on them. anyhow happy xmas and i hope you find out who that staff member was , she was a joy to deal with .... cheeers !!!!
Cian Hammond 23/12/2012
I went into the store yesterday and it was so busy! You couldn't move inside there. I didn't think i was going to get service but this lovely girl saw I was looking for help and she came over to me straight away. She went into the back to look for shoes for me about 5 times. She didn't complain once. She was kind,helpful,polite and such a lovely girl. Honestly the best service I've got in years.
Brenda Crowley 27/12/2012
Today 26th Dec 2012 i visited Schuh in Patrick Street, Cork for the first time, i will be going back there again and also recommending the shop to friends and relatives because the staff are so helpful and friendly.I was assisted by Megan and the cashier who did the transaction was called Evelyn, both staff members were extremely good at their jobs, they were so keen to give as much help and advice as possible and were very polite and friendly. It made a very pleasent change.
Thank you Megan and Evelyn.
Gemma Giltinan 30/12/2012
Schuh is amazing! Probably my favourite shop.. One thing though is i think there should be a bigger range of high shoes, everything else is bang on though!
Stephanie Buckingham 18/05/2013
The staff were very friendly and helpful, I was very impressed.
Enya O'Reilly 18/05/2013

Jerilyn Ingram 14/11/2013
My daughter and I were waited on by Claire in your Cork City store. It has been a very long time since I have been treated with such courtesy and by such a knowledgeable store employee. She clearly knew her stock and was able to tell us clearly which boots would fit the bill and which would not. Claire was extremely professional and made me feel that I was the most important person in the store at that moment. You have a real treasure in Claire.
Roy 03/02/2014
Superb shop, top quality shoes, huge range & very helpful staff. Keep up the good work, I'll be back !! :-)

Isabelle Cunnane 27/11/2013
Great shopping experience
Staff really helpful, giving you the right amount of attention and plenty time to think about the purchase.
Will recommend the shop.
Joe Kiely 27/11/2013
Just wanted to say I had great service last Sunday from a guy who I believe was on his first day working for Schuh.
He was knowledgeable, patient, and attentive, so I commend his hard work. His name may have been Shane I'm not 100%, but fairly sure that's him.
Andrew Horgan 26/11/2013
Best place in Cork to buy shoes! All staff were very professional and genuine. Shauna is lovely, very nice and I found her very helpful. Estephania was very thorough and both ladies looked after everything perfectly. Thank You Very Much!
Stevie Halliday 23/11/2013
Received Excellent service at Schuh Cork. There was a Beautiful Cashier by the name of Shauna that was very friendly and did a great job, and the shoes are ok too!
Emma 14/04/2014
Enjoyed my shopping experience today as the staff was very helpful and friendly but not too pushy. Found a great pair of shoes that I'm very happy with.
Dariusz 17/04/2014
Unfortunatelly I got sole failure in my 3 months old shoes ('Sketchers' that I buy last 5 years and never let me down). I bought them on special offer 3 months ago and I was not sure that I will get any refund/replacement at this stage. I got back to 'Schuh' shop on Patrick st. Cork. I felt very welcome as always in your shop. And so it was this time. Two staff members took care about me but Shauna was the person that dealt with my request.especially. I got offered money refund at start but I chose a shoes replacement that I got offered too. That is my one of the best shoe stores in Cork and I will be coming back deffinitelly. Especially after today's situation.
I was served in very good way. Left the store very happy.
Thank You and see You again!!!
Ciaran Bermingham 18/06/2014
To be honest I've been meaning to do this for sometime....
I've been a customer inside for a few years now....I'm in the 'Dad' category...My kids introduced me to Schuh...
I'm not the greatest customer...approx 4 pairs a year...I like my converse and that's it...just got introduced to Toms...we'll give them a go and see how we get on...
But back to 'How was it for me'
As always the service was superb...I'm not a shopper I hate it..I'm badgered by my teenage kids to shop a couple of times a year...
I go into Schuh have a good look round am greeted by friendly staff (that to be honest give me some hope for the youth of today...see I'm such an old man) pick my shoes and we're off...The new pair had to be ordered in but again this was done with diligence and a smile...I've a thing about manners and the simple gestures of assurance to the customer....with my work I travel quite often and the service does shine in the majority of the stores I've been in, Dundrum Shopping Centre Store could perk up a bit...to me Schuh Cork is one of the best in your Company. So many thanks to you and your staff.
Ciaran Bermingham

Sarah 26/02/2014
The assistant that was dealing with me was very helpful and a great sales person, only for him I wudnt have bought the boots. It was my first time buying in this shop and will be calling back again.
Heather R O'Driscoll 01/03/2014
The assistant was super patient with my ever so indecisive 11 yr old daughter, who couldn't decide on what colour converse she wanted ! After 4 or 5 pairs... and a lot of humming and hawing she eventually decided!
The assistant knew his stuff when it came to converse and helped my daughter choose, he arranged to have her feet measured also, and was just so friendly kind and patient.
I will definitely shop here again :)
Darren 04/03/2014
Staff were incredibly helpful and an absolute laugh. The girl i was dealing with was quite cute too! Any chance of her number? :P
Margaret 13/03/2014
I was in looking for a shoe for work, he showed me the range of shoes that would have given me better support and would be most comfortable. He had excellent knowledge of the different brands but in the end I went for a quirky shoe.
Michael Cahill 13/03/2014
Niamh Fitzgibbon 04/08/2014
i love going into schuh in cork, the staff are always incredibly friendly and helpful! Daragh was very helpful and had no problem helping me to decide which pair of shoes would be best :) he explained the returns policy very clearly to me and was a very friendly assistant. Evelyn was at the cashier, she was a lovely bubbly girl, and its so lovely to have friendly staff. the staff in the schuh store in cork should be highly praised and recognised for the lovely friendly atmosphere they create in the store. ill definitely be back again soon :)
Zara 08/08/2014
Great !
Danielle 21/12/2013
I went in today to look at Doc Marten boots. There was someone there to help straight away, and then a shop assistant called Aaron came down with the shoes. He was really fast bringing them down, even though the shop was very busy. He asked if I wanted to try on one or both of the boots, and was really obliging and helpful. While I was trying them on, two more female staff members came over and told me their own experiences with Docs, and about wearing them in, which I found really helpful. They were really nice and friendly and it was nice to get some feedback on how they looked on. I reserved the boots, which the staff did no problem, and when I came back to get them I was served by Aaron again. He was really friendly at the till, and wished me a happy Christmas. Really positive shopping experience, and I told the manager so. She was really grateful for the feedback, and also wished me happy Christmas. Would definitely recommend Schuh Patrick St!
Ali 05/07/2014
Excellent service and friendly staff. Was assisted by Anne in making my purchase who was extremely helpful!

Maureen Whelan 13/07/2014
I purchased a pair of crocs beach. Line boat shoes yesterday in your shop in Patrick Street, Cork. The shop was very busy, I was met with a very friendly young girl when entering, l browsed around not looking for anything in particular, saw the crocs and Killian came to my assistance. I must say he was so helpful and courteous, nothing was a problem, l had difficulty deciding which size, he said try them and if I'm not happy with them change them. He was so nice and helpful. I paid at the checkout and met a lovely girl Emma. So top marks to the staff of Schuh in Patrick St, Cork.

Emily Wright 14/07/2014
Debbie who was serving us was the perfect shop worker. She was patient, helpful and showed good initiative. All that paired with her bubbly personality was amazing. She helped me find a perfect pair of converse in the perfect size all for a reasonable price!! The rest of the staff were very helpful and cheerful which made me leave the shop in a great mood! Will defiantly be coming back! Keep up the good work
luigi 11/07/2014
Good selection of shoes at reasonable prices. very busy but staff very helpful. Naomi was great. An idea to speed up the service: computer for checking sizes and request to try soes could be used directly by the customer.
Anne Marie 11/07/2014

I cannot say enough about your Cork team. I visited the store on two occasions. On my first visit I purchased a pair of converse which A week later went back to the store to return and choose something else. I noted on my first visit how great the service was...5 star!! I am a retail manager myself and I was very impressed. I have to say how blown away I was when on my second visit the service was as fantastic, if not better. What I'm impressed with is the consistency. Every team member I came I to contact with was upbeat, enthusiastic, happy and friendly and could not have been more helpful...on both occasions. Well done to the Cork team and management. 5*+++++++

The level of customer service in Schuh as always been very good but Claire really stood out last Saturday for me. I have always shopped in Schuh over the years as the quality and selection of footwear has always been fantastic.

Anna Hurley 22/04/2014
I was under pressure to buy a pair of shoes today as I have a wedding in 4 days time. I had spent over a week looking online and went into a number of shops (at least 13) today searching for the right colour shoes. I went into Schuh by chance as I wouldn't associate Schuh with occasion wear shoes. A very friendly and helpful member of staff (can't remember her name - dark hair and glasses) approached me and offered her assistance. Within 5 minutes I had tried on and bought a pair of shoes. I was very happy with the service I received.
Margaret Goggin 24/04/2014

Great job guys! :)
Jean Barry-Murphy 21/03/2014
I visited your store today to see if I could buy a pair of Hush Puppies pumps which I had bought last year in a different colour as I had found them to be very comfortable. There was just black and brown on display so I asked the assistant if they were available in red. She was very pleasant and helpful and checked on line for me. As they were available she ordered them for me. The girls name was Emma. She was extremely pleasant and helpful as I must say I find all your staff. I think ye are an example to other shops how to deal with customers.
Leah 24/03/2014
I visited the Patricks St. shop in Cork city. Anne was extremely helpful, could not fault the service. She was very knowledgeable and went out of her way to help me. On a previous visit I was dealing with a man named Darragh who was fantastic, this was the best customer service I have received and I will definetly be returning because of this.
Cecilia turner 26/07/2014
Cashier no 081 Evelyn . .she was very helpful,happy,and very quick. Shopping with a 17 year old for school shoes used to be a nightmare, but since discovering Schuh it's easy! Thank you

the service in Schuh was exceptional today, the salesman was obliging, efficient and helpful. although the shop was extremely busy he gave me as much time as i needed for assistance, was quick in answering my queries and getting my shoes and was very polite. i do not usually fill out these feedback surveys but due to the very pleasant experience i had today, i felt it was necessary to give this salesman praise and give schuh the positive feedback it deserves.

Hello, I've recently visited my local Schuh store in Cork a couple of times and felt compelled to leave some feedback because the staff there are specially helpful and friendly. Obviously, they do it to get a sale, which in my case did not happen. Still, great attention to the costumer, which is very much appreciated. May I also add that I would love to see more of the edginess that I found in the Schuh collections when I first came across it in Dublin a bunch of years ago?
Emma 29/06/2014
Excellent speedy service from Darragh who brought me a few different pairs of the same shoes to compare the patterns and choose my favourite! Had a lovely chat with James on the till too. Great service all round!
Katharina Gormer 30/06/2014
I was really satisfied with my recent visit to the Schuh Store in Cork. Artur took really care of me and my friend. He managed really well since he had to find the right shoes in the right size for two girls at the same time. I also liked that he gave us a little style advise! Very well done! Thank you again Artur!
Julie 02/07/2014

I always have a positive experience when shopping at the Schuh Cork store. The staff have good customer service, particularly James. He's assisted me on several occasions, including my latest visit. He's always very friendly and keen to help, and I think that's rare enough in retail. Thanks!
Helen 03/05/2014
Hugely impressed with the fantastic customer service by the store manager on April 28th. Her name escapes me, but she is a tall slim girl with long brown hair and glasses.
I arrived with a worn pair of Schuh boots that I had purchased in the sale, kept for the best part of a month (due to being out of the country) and had no box or receipt. Despite my best efforts, I was no longer able to wear the boots, as one had been made from a stiffer leather than the other and cut into my heel, while the other had loosened out completely and no longer looked or felt much like its partner.
The manager was friendly and welcoming, and had no trouble painstakingly searching for my purchase on the system. Though there were no more of those boots for sale in store, she located a pair in my size in the stockroom and happily exchanged them for me, while promising I could return them if the problem was to happen again.
Well done Cork manager and thank you. I am always impressed with Schuh's customer service (though sometimes the sales assistants can be a bit too pseudo friendly), you excel where so many others fall and it makes all the difference to the shopping experience. Keep up the good work (and bring back the 20% student discount). Thanks!
Mary O' Connell 09/05/2014
Hi, I bought shoes for my daughter in your 122 Patrick Street Cork shop yesterday for my daughter. Robyn was the girl that looked after us.

Delighted with the service and the price... Thanks very much to your staff member Robyn... plus my daughter loved her.... she gave her a balloon!!!!
Ann Geary 15/05/2014
The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I'll definitely shop there again!

Barack Obama
The president's conciliatory words must be matched by action to counter plummeting support worldwide
Is Ed Miliband as vulnerable as Obama has been to disillusionment?
Don't buy the hype from Michael Gove – or Arne Duncan.
Where is the radical candidate who came from behind to win the crown?
Is tomorrow's gathering going to be lefty, liberal, centrist or none of the above?
The US president fails to stand up to ignorance and bigotry – again!
It might just be too soon to write off the president and his party.
A particularly powerful fist-thump from the president sends the presidential seal to the floor.
Obama must do without the man he used to start and end his day with.
"If you're serious, now's exactly the time that people have to step up," says the US President.

Are you constantly embarrassed and frustrated with inability to last long in bed?
How many times have you been so disgusted and have complete low self-confidence about yourself when it comes to having sex with your wife or girlfriend?
Before we go on, imagine a situation whereby you have extreme confidence,
You are not frustrated
You are not embarrassed every time you think about having sex
You have an easy going, understanding and fulfilling relationship with your wife or girlfriend.
But this wonderful feeling is most time usually destroyed by Premature Ejaculation, otherwise called PE or Limp Dick.
Now you definitely know what PE is – Premature Ejaculation.
This is the number one cause of embarrassment and frustration for married men when it comes to bedroom affairs.
And you wanna know how I know, because it happened to me.
Not too long ago, I was in a situation which you can relate to.
I was always embarrassed, frustrated and generally without a clue as to my condition.
Whenever I thought of having sex, it sent shivers down my spine.
It was like the ground should open and swallow me…
This is sex we are talking about here man…
Instead of enjoying such a beautiful and wonderful time with my partner, I was constantly worrying about shooting my load soon.
I was a 1 minute man and it was damn frustrating…
Simply put I was helpless
But initially, it was not so well stressful and embarrassing.
This is because I had the support and understanding of my beautiful wife and she was always there to listen to me and support me.
But I knew that I needed some answers/solution to my problem.
I wanted to be able to be the man that will satisfy her sexually and have fun with my wife.
I wanted to be able to have a long lasting, sexually entertaining and quality sexual experience with my wife.
So I desperately started looking for a solution. As always I went on the internet and searched for anything related to PE and how to treat it.
As usual, there was thousands and millions of products out there each claiming to be the miracle cure.
There were pills, creams and even some weird looking machines called penis enlarger.
I was overwhelmed with too much information man.
How am I going to start testing all this pills to see which one works? That's like popping a million pills just to see which one is the answer.
And most of these pills had a lot of side effects.
Also I was definitely not going to wrap any weird looking instrument around my willy anytime I wanted to have sex.
I wanted an easy to use solution that is well written, straight forward, guarantees results and cuts out all the bullshits being thrown around.
To cut a very long and depressing search short, I was able to find a solution that put the smiles back on my face.
To put it quite simply… the solution was the magic touch…
Most people have at least heard of Kegel's, exercises for women designed to strengthen their vaginal muscles.
Few realize however that there is also a version for men. The focus is on learning to control the PC muscle.
This is the collective name given to a group of muscles that run from the anus to the base of the penis and around. Learning to control these muscles can be beneficial to any man, but particularly those suffering from premature ejaculation.
Most men have a difficult time at first learning how to contract and release their PC muscles.
It is actually the same muscles that are used to stop urination.
If a man stops his stream mid-urination, those are the PC muscles he just used.
With practice, a man will be able to develop a stronger PC muscle and have better control over it.
These aren't muscles that are used very frequently and often times are weak, especially in those suffering from premature ejaculation.
Probably the biggest misconception regarding the PC muscle and premature ejaculation is how it's used.
Over and over people say it's to be used to 'hold in' ejaculation. While this may help if you're about to go over the top, the main focus should be on how to keep it relaxed.
Mastering relaxing the PC muscle can be very beneficial to men who suffer from premature ejaculation. During intercourse, most of a man's body, including his PC muscle, is tense. This tension increases sensitivity, leading to higher states of arousal and the loss of ejaculation control.
By relaxing these muscles during intercourse, the pressure is lessened and arousal goes down.
By learning to control your PC muscle, you will not only be able to last longer during intercourse, but you will more than likely be able to orgasm multiple times.
Once the PC muscle is strong enough, it will actually be able to reduce the amount of semen that is released during orgasm by contracting the muscle as firmly as possible.
This will keep you from climaxing completely and usually within a short period of time you will be ready to orgasm again.
This can be helpful both in regular intercourse and in those situations where you find yourself climaxing before you would like.
If you can reduce how much you release, you can keep your arousal level up so that you can continue on long enough to please your partner.
Now i can tell you more techniques to help you last longer in bed and also tell you the awesome results i had when i implemented these techniques…
But i need you to click the link below and signup with your Name and Email Address

Furniture Buying Tips

My Story: Why I Buy Estate Sale Furniture
Buying Furniture for Your Home
Americans will spend more than $60 billion on home furnishings this year. And furniture can be expensive and a difficult buying decision for many. Here are some great money-saving tips.
- Consider donating your used furniture to a local furniture bank and take advantage of "trade in" deals at participating retailers. The National Furniture Bank Association reports that tens of thousand of children sleep on the floor each night and a donated bed could make a huge difference in someone's life. Additionally, a furniture donation is an acceptable tax write-off and the donor is responsible for reporting the value of the item.
- Ask for a written warranty from the store, not just the manufacturer. Without one, you have no recourse should the item break. Many manufacturers are overseas, so you really need a store to stand behind you.
- Shop online first. Many retailers offer discounts online that they don't offer in the store. Today, 65% of all furniture shoppers shop online. Also, this is a good way to get an idea of pricing and allows the buyer to do some comparison-shopping.
- Ask the store to put the materials in writing. Many stores incorrectly describe or label their pieces. Know what you are buying to avoid costly mistakes.
- When buying an antique, ask for a certificate of authenticity. This is your only hope of returning the piece if discovered it is a fraud.
- Ask for a 15% discount when shopping at a local retailer. Designers generally get a 15% discount, and many stores will offer the same discount to the end user.
- If you are nervous asking for a discount, ask for things like free delivery and assembly. Many stores are going the extra mile by offering assembly.
- Ask how many pieces will come in the box. 65% of all furniture requires assembly.
- Never pay to join shopping clubs. With all the retailers out there today, you can get equally good deals by doing some comparison-shopping.
Jennifer Litwin is a home furnishings expert/Consumers Digest contributor/author. Check out her books Furniture Hot Spots: The Best Furniture Stores and Websites Coast to Coast and Best Furniture Buying Tips Ever!, both published by Random House.
Take the Next Step:
- Get it in writing, whether it is a warranty, authentication for antiques, or simply making sure things are labeled correctly.
- Ask for a discount or free set up and delivery. It can't hurt to ask!

Lifelong paintballers Glen Kapostas and Eric Schreiber founded Yankee Paintball with the aim of introducing new people to their favorite sport on a safe and fair playing field. Their 50 acres of paint-strewn battlegrounds include five different fields, each with a distinct layout and environment. Inflatable obstacles are scattered throughout the Airball Field, the layout of which changes every few weeks to enhance replay value. The 10-acre Castle Field—the largest of the bunch—spans the length of a small hill. Its battlegrounds light up with multi-colored crossfire during team games in which players crouch in bunkers, take shelter behind trees, and hide in the crowded nests of woodland critters.

Governor Christie is still having a hard time winning back the trust of New Jersey voters even as he's attempted in recent weeks to put the controversy over the September lane closures at the George Washington Bridge behind him, according to the results of a recent Rutgers-Eagleton poll.
Only 23 percent of those surveyed by Rutgers-Eagleton said "trustworthy" describes Christie very well, and 35 percent said trustworthy does not describe the Republican governor at all.
In all, Christie's trustworthy rating is down 20 points since October 2013, and remains at an all-time low since he took office in early 2010, according to the poll results released early this morning.
"Trustworthy was one of Christie's hallmarks, especially given voters' normal cynicism about politicians," said David Redlawsk, a political science professor at Rutgers who also serves as director of the Rutgers-Eagleton Poll. "Losing the trust of voters puts Christie into the category of an ordinary politician."
Christie released a new state budget and has gone back out on the road with a series of town hall-style events in the weeks after The Record published emails linking the bridge lane closures to a former top aide in his administration and a former gubernatorial appointee at The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the agency that administers the bridge.
Christie has denied knowing about the plot to close the lanes — apparently to punish Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich — and has launched an internal investigation even as federal prosecutors and a special legislative committee have begun their own, separate probes.
Still, Christie's general approval rating has remained fairly solid for a Republican in a left-leaning state, Redlawsk said. A total of 49 percent viewed Christie favorably, compared to 40 percent who viewed him unfavorably.
The poll of 842 New Jersey adults was conducted between Feb. 22 and Feb. 28. The survey had a margin of error of +/- 3.7 percent.

I like to think of snowmen as the way Inspector Haraway from "Innocence" saw dolls: a child's attempt to recreate a human, like the way an adult strives to procreate an infant. So there are few ways differentiate humans from snowmen.
And that's why you don't fuck with them.
Made for an art project that needed to involve snowmen in some form, so that's why it's so short. Sorry. A small clip from a Myst III song (I know), was used to make the creepy low sound at the end.
This took about three weeks to make, and it was finished in a hurry, so sorry about the lack of NG logo in the beginning (I love NG, you can be assured of that, and will NEVER take it for granted). Also, I apologize for the poor laughing animation, for it was the first time I animated someone laughing. Finally, I recommend this be played on medium quality if your connection's shit. Enjoy!
And watch your back.
Wait? Christmas collection? This doesn't have a goddam thing to do with Christmas!
I expected something so much more brutal form the arguably evil snowman. The simple punch in the face made me giggle.
i love the animation, especially the bad ass snowman
one day snow men will rule the world

Thank you for the nice score, but can you please, next time you review a Flash movie, keep to the topic of the film, as opposed to wandering off in some sort of nonsensical, irrelevant direction relating to a creature that was not shown or even mentioned in the picture?
I would appreciate it.
it took waaaay to long for anything to happen and it was way to short :( but the art and whatnot was good :)
because someday, they just may fight back. i enjoyed this very much

Branford Marsalis headlines jazz festival in Haiti
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Saxophone legend Branford Marsalis is headlining a jazz festival in Haiti.
Marsalis arrived in the impoverished Caribbean nation Friday to perform several shows at the Port-au-Prince International Jazz Festival.
The first show for the Branford Marsalis Quartet will be Friday night in the coastal town of Jacmel. The second show will be Saturday in Port-au-Prince at a concert venue that was once a sugarcane plantation.
Marsalis will also perform a private show Tuesday at the residence of U.S. Ambassador Pamela White.
"It's really cool to be here," Marsalis, 52, said by telephone from an oceanfront hotel in Jacmel. "The people are beautiful to me."
The annual festival, now in its seventh year, runs from Friday through Jan. 26. More than two dozen jazz musicians are coming from Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Cameroon and elsewhere.
Marsalis' trip was organized by the U.S. Embassy.
He was supposed to perform in Haiti two years ago but several days of rioting over a contested election scuttled those plans. The festival, however, went on a month later.
The festival seeks to promote jazz in Haiti, increase understanding between the Haitian and American cultures, and encourage tourism.
Haitian President Michel Martelly is seeking to attract tourists and outside investors to boost the economy, but such efforts could prove a hard sell. The United States last month sharpened its travel warning to Haiti, citing kidnappings, crime, cholera and a tattered infrastructure. Canada followed with a similar advisory.

Critic says city officials shouldn't babysit Right to Know rule
A $58,000-a-year city planner sat next to a Union Leader staffer this week as the reporter looked over a planning board file and used a smart phone to photograph items in the file. The 15 minutes of staff time amounted to about $7 in salary, not counting benefits.
One of the policy's harshest critics, radio-show host Richard Girard, said it's ironic that the policy — supposedly written because Right to Know requests were taking so much staff time — requires a city worker to "babysit" anyone who reviews records.
Earlier this week, city planner Jonathan Golden told a reporter he could not email information from a Planning Board file, a practice common before the policy went into effect.
"I would say that's a policy of the board (of aldermen). That's a vote the board took," he said.
The city posts information provided to most Manchester boards and committees online before a meeting. But workers post only the agendas for the planning and zoning boards. No backup materials — which usually include applications, narratives, maps and letters — are placed online.

Holy venue for ale festival
Hull's real ale festival has a rather unusual new venue – the city's Holy Trinity Church.
The festival's traditionally been held at the City Hall but keeping the drinks cool has been a constant problem.
So, when the vicar was down at the local pub and heard the organisers were looking for a new venue, he offered up his 700 year old building, the largest parish church in the country.
Services at the church will continue as normal during the three day festival, and the vicar doesn't see a problem in mixing booze and the Bible.

Obviously we're not advocating heavy drinking or excessive drinking and we know that people will be responsible when they come here and we just think it's great and I personally believe that Jesus would be here having a pint and talking to people."
