Mike Redmond feeling better about Marlins bullpen
- 5:03 pm Friday, June 20th, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
MIAMI _ Andrew Heaney was not the only good news when it came to the pitching on Thursday.
Manager Mike Redmond is feeling less anxious about a bullpen that was shaky at best the first two months of the season.
Bryan Morris and Kevin Gregg tossed three scoreless innings in Heaney's hard-luck 1-0 loss to the Mets in his debut. Morris went two innings, increasing his scoreless innings streak to 11.1 since joining the Marlins. Gregg didn't allow a hit in the ninth inning in his first outing since being signed.
"I feel a lot better about that bullpen," Redmond said.

Marlins ready to add depth to minor leagues with three of top 43 picks in tonight's draft
- 7:21 am Thursday, June 5th, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
The Marlins have had 18 first round picks since 2000, 12 of those have been pitchers, three infielders, two outfielders and a catcher.
That trend could continue tonight with the top three players on most boards being pitchers.
"There are a lot of arms out there, more so than we've seen in a while and not a lot of bats," said Stan Meek, the Marlins vice president of scouting.
The draft starts at 7 p.m. with tonight's first two rounds and continues Friday with rounds 3-10 and Saturday with rounds 11-40. The Marlins have three picks tonight: No. 2, 36 and 43. The [More]
Mike Redmond sees Kevin Gregg filling eighth-inning setup role in Marlins bullpen
- 5:24 pm Tuesday, June 3rd, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
MIAMI – Mike Redmond is feeling better about his bullpen, not only because he got three scoreless innings in Monday's series opening win against the Rays, but because help is on the way.
Miami officially announced the signing of veteran Kevin Gregg Tuesday, the second reliever the Marlins added this week, joining Bryan Morris, who came over from the Pirates for a draft pick.
"The bullpen has been a concern and it's great we made a trade and signed a guy and now hopefully these pieces come to together and help us and give us a chance to win ballgames," Redmond said.

Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia on 7-day concussion DL; Marlins acquire reliever Bryan Morris from Pittsburgh
- 1:25 pm Sunday, June 1st, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
MIAMI _ Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia was placed on the seven-day concussion disabled list today after taking a foul ball off the mask in Saturday's game.
Saltalamacchia, the Wellington resident, had some dizziness and headaches after the game. He is required to miss at least seven days and if he not cleared at that time he will be transferred to the 15-day DL.
"It wasn't coming back as quick as normal," Saltalamacchia said about the foul tip off the bat of Atlanta's B.J. Upton in the sixth inning.
"Normally when it hits it hits pretty good and the mask turns. That one kind of [More]

SIW Roundtable: The reliability of cloud security services
Experts say built-in redundancies protect hosted access and video users
Last month, an outage suffered by Amazon Web Services at one of its data centers near Washington, D.C., brought down several large websites including Reddit and Foursquare, for an extended period of time.
Though the outage was only a blip in the world of cloud computing, it does make many people concerned about the reliability of hosted services. As more and more security end-users switch to hosted video and access control for their numerous benefits, such as reduced maintenance and infrastructure costs, outages like this have the potential to negatively impact people's perception about the cloud.
To address some of the concerns raised from this outage, SIW spoke with some of the leading providers of hosted security services to get there take on the outage and how similar incidents could impact end-users.
How would a cloud outage like this impact hosted security services offered by your company?
Steve Van Till, president and CEO of Brivo Systems: (Amazon) divides up their system into what are called availability zones and they have a bunch of different availability zones throughout the Unites States and the way it works is that if you are hosting with them, you can pay to be in one availability zone for one price or if you want redundancy and protection against failure, you can pay to be in two zones, or three zones or five zones. All the people that were affected (by the outage) paid to be in one zone and that just violates the principal of system design forever in engineering which is redundancy. The kind of outage that Amazon had would not affect Brivo or companies like us because we have multiple data centers, any one of which can go down and the service keeps running.
Brian Lohse, director of business development for Secure-i: Generally speaking, we are always planning based on failure. That happens at multiple levels. It happens at the user level where all of our systems are going to use some form of a NAS (network attached storage) drive or SD card locally, so that if whether it's an Internet connection that is failing or the entire cloud that's failing or anything in between, they still have recording locally. Level two is hardware redundancy. Even within a data center, within a single rack of equipment, you have servers and hard drives that are prone to failure. Switches, cables, all of those things can go bad, so there is a hardware redundancy. In our case, its end-plus-two, which means there are essentially three of everything from the hardware level. Towards the top of that, there is the data center itself and you can build redundancy at that level too.
Matt Krebs, business development manager for hosted services at Axis Communications: I think you could take a couple of different perspectives. Most of the partners we work with, in today's cloud world, a lot of folks just assume there are redundancies and backup plans in place with most cloud data centers and it's not always the case. What we've done is the folks we've selected for our hosted video program we make sure that they do have redundancies, backups and contingency plans in place in case any of their primary centers do fail. We rely on our partners to have that kind of redundancy and backup. In the case where we don't have those kinds of redundancies and we have some partners that don't necessarily have those capabilities, we've made provision for local onsite backup storage in the form of a network attached storage device. If anything does fail in the cloud, the customer or end-user that's consuming these hosted services will still have the ability to retrieve that video from a local drive. A third stop gap to make sure our customers don't experience data loss, we also have a number of our cameras that carry SD card slots onboard in the camera.

How To Clean, Gloss Up, And Seal Dull Old Hardwood Floors
Whoops, I almost forgot to tell you about how I scrubbed and re-sealed the existing hardwoods right before we moved in (literally, like 26 hours before we moved in). The new hardwoods upstairs were looking so flossy and glossy, I didn't want the ones in the office, living room, and dining room to feel so 2000 and late. So I gave them some love. Wax on, wax off, baby.
First I swept up the random dust and old faux Christmas tree leaves and all the other stuff that was left behind.
Not a bad pile for an empty looking room, eh?
Then I bought this stuff at Home Depot because I had heard good things about it when it comes to cleaning and glossing up floors that are old/dulled/mildly scratched (you know, floors that don't need a full re-finishing but could use some moisture/polish to fill in small scrapes and seal them again).
You know, little stuff like this.
After sweeping, the next step was to use their floor cleaning spray, by just working my way around the room spraying it on the floor and following that with the mop (with the cleaning pad on it). This made me mad sweaty, yo. So I give it a 7 on the exertion scale. You're not just swabbing over the floors like you're swiffering, you're scrubbing the heck outta them to get them nice and clean.
Then came the actual sealing/polishing step. This was a lot less rigorous (so you ARE doing the swiffer motion here). The idea is just to gently spread out the liquid that you're pouring out of the bottle as you work your way out of the room. Oh and for this step you have to use a polishing pad on the mop (it's more like a lamb's wool pad while the cleaning one is a bit more scrubbing-sponge-like). Note: see the green painters tape on my mop? That thing came out of the box all wonky and broken, so I had to MacGuyver it together.
In this picture you can see how the floor that I had done was all moisturized and shiny (top left of the pic below) while the floor behind the polish pad is kind of dull and dry.
Sadly, by the time I worked my way out of the room I was only mildly impressed. Parts of it had dried and looked just like they did before (dull, grayed, slightly scratched, etc) while other areas that were still wet looked awesome.
But once they dried… they were all chalky and dry again. I'm not sure if it was just something about our floors and the way they were refinished decades ago (some folks must love this stuff since we heard great things) but it wasn't an awesome enough result for me to get going on the other two room's floors. So it was back to Home Depot, where I bought another brand called Rejuvenate. It came in satin and high gloss but I chose high gloss since the floors upstairs are nice and shiny, which we like.
I still used the same Bona cleaning spray and the same Bona mop (with the cleaning head on it) since I already had those on hand and didn't mind the job they did. It was just the Bona sealer that had left me high and dry (ok, just dry). So I switched ol' wonky-mop's head to the polishing one, but this time instead of using it to spread the Bona stuff, I worked my way out of the room with the Rejuvenate wood floor restorer. The room looked like this before:
And this after:
Granted it still had to dry a bit in that shot above, but the comparison between the Bona stuff and the Rejuvenate stuff definitely left us liking Rejuvenate a lot better. It went on more evenly and left everything rich and sealed looking – even well after it dried. Nothing looked chalky a few hours later, and I was able to apply two coats in each room (you could apply them a few hours apart instead of waiting 24 hours like the Bona stuff required) which was awesome. I even went back and did the office again with the Rejuvenate stuff instead of doing a second coat of Bona in there. And I was so much happier with it.
Here's the dining room all dry. Flossy and glossy, eh? This is how the living room dried as well, and the office looks the same now that we went over it.
Have you used a floor cleaning and resealing system to bring life back to dull, mildly scratched, or chalky floors? Did you try Bona, Rejuvenate, or something else? Ever tried two different options for a
smackdown to the death what's-better comparison?

People in the plaaaace! If you wanna get doooown!
Your floors look amazing!
I have tried Quick Shine to gloss the floors up but it wears off pretty fast and I don't get around to re-applying very often. I am definitely trying the Rejuvenate! Keep us posted on how well they hold up!
SO. HELPFUL. Thanks for this post. I had heard the same things about Bona but hadn't pulled the trigger yet on the purchase. Will be going with rejuvenate. That is, after the sod project in the back, painting the house in the house in the front, and redoing the guest room so my mom can come visit! Thanks y'all!
just bought it based on your review! we also have flakes in small spots. so hoping this does the trick. I think the contractor who re did all the condos did a craptastic job! so we've been finding issues! this was our most recent. I'm gonna borrow my mom's steamer and then do the rejuvenate!
So good to know, thanks. I'm redoing my loooong back hallway and will try Rejuvenate on the floors once I'm done making a mess with the walls!
I'll be interested to see if the Rejuvenate stuff flakes off later. When we bought our first house (we're now on our second) we thought the floors in our front living room were glorious. After a visit from our niece and nephew who slide a chair across the floor, we noticed that some stuff sort of peeled up. The flaking got worse. We spent countless hours trying to scrape it all up with razor blades because it would stick to your shoes and track through the entire house. We had our first baby while living there and didn't want to be tracking it all over the house for him to eat while crawling around. Finally we bit the bullet and had to have the floors refinished. It sucked! Big time! And I don't like to use the work suck.
Wehave hardwoods throughout our open plan ranch with foyer and hallway to bedroom- the foyer/hallway/bedroom are in great condition but the kitchen/lr/dr show wear- sounds like i'd have to do ALL the floors -even the parts that dont need it or else there would be a noticiable transition…..what do y'all think?
If the stain isn't scraped off – which was our case you can just buff them and recoat with another layer of polyurethane. I think the process is called "buff and coat" I called several floor companies and asked about these products and they said they are both short term band aids.
Also, we got it professionally done and they only charged us 50cent a sqft. When looking at the cost of these products- it was wellllllll worth it to have them do it.
Love!! Can I ask how you clean your floors regularly now? Like maintenance? I messed up my brand new wood floors with Orange Glo a few years ago and they have never been the same!
I'm so glad you posted this!! We moved into our house back in October and we have ALOT of hardwood floors. The biggest area was a hot mess and looked alot like yours before you starting cleaning it, like a major layer of film and grossness on top. I did the same thing…everyone said we needed to try the Bona stuff, so I did. Major disappointment, I didn't think it helped at all and may have left it looking even worse. I went back to using my trusted method which was using the broom first then going over everything with the swiffer and found that the only way it didn't look absolutely awful was to go with the grain of each of the boards, but it took forever and I still wasn't 100% happy. I'm definitely going to go get this stuff today!!! Thanks for testing it out for us!
I've got a 100 year old house, and the hardwood floors can get pretty dull. I used everything under the sun, and finally found Holloway House at my local grocery store. By far, the best thing I've found: http://www.hollowayhouse.net/
Audra @ http://audrasally.blogspot.com
I use Holloway House for a once a month shine restore. Used to be able to buy at Kroger, but now I get it on Amazon. I use an old fashion vinegar, hot water, and a drop of dish soap solution to clean regularly and once a month I use the Holloway House floor shine to get an extra boost to my already shiny floors. It lasts awhile and mops on just like Bona. I tried Bona when we first bought our house and was very dissapointed. It was streaky and messy. I went right back to Holloway House.
Impressive! Looks so good. Amazing what a few products will do to bringing out that new-floor shine.
Please give us an update. The reviews on Amazon were not good. I was all set to go out and buy this, but I think I will wait for your review.
Thank you for sharing!!! We "rejuvenated" our dining room floors this weekend after pulling up the 30 year old carpet. Your post gave me the kick in the pants I needed to get moving and I am so happy with the results!!!!
When I moved into my house, I noticed that the hardwoods had a milky appearance. The previous owner told me that his mother had used Mop-N-Glo on them and that usually shined them up. Well, I used it and boy did they shine! However, when I would mop they would go back to being dull and milky. The layers of mop-n-glo had built up and formed a layer over the floors. I had to spray AMONIA on them and use a plastic scraper to remove it. I spent DAYS getting the stuff off! I do NOT recommend using any product similar to it or other refinishers. I would personally just have to floors coated with poly before I put that satan's product on them.
It is my life's mission to save everyone from my heart/back ache that was removing the layer of gunk from the floors. Did I mention that the house was 95% hardwood? Yep!
Who actually raves about that bona stuff? I bought a huge gallon of it when I bought my house because I thought everyone "raved" about it. Who are these ravers? It's horrid! It doesn't do anything except wet the bona mop-thing and clean the floor a bit. And after awhile, the big bottle took on a wet dog sort of smell (and so did my floors). I finally dumped it.
I'll have to give that Rejuvenate a try. We have hardwood in our living room and after two dogs (and who knows what with the family we bought the house from) they have definitely seen better days.
Rejuvenate is sort of life changing, right! BIG fan! It is like a fresh coat of poly without all of the drying time.
Anyone with a good laminate floor 'restorer'?
That sent before I had a chance to finish it. :0) A friend of mine gave me the Bona stuff and told me how wonderful it was, but, like you, I wasn't impressed. Glad to know there's another product out there that gets the results I was expecting!
Today was my first time looking at your website after seeing it in HGTV magazine. I landed on this page about Bona and had to laugh at your taped applicator stick..thats exactly how ours is ..we just keep thinking we didn't put it together the right way..now we know duct tape!! I have to agree with others that I was disappointed with Bona after hearing so many good things about it. I'll be looking for rejuvenate since that's the shine I've been looking for!
YOU ARE SIMPLY JUST GREAT!!! I bought the whole Bona kit and kaboodle years ago and had the exact same results. I have lamented over our wood floors just waiting to be able to refinish them for 10 years. I went right out and followed your exact steps and it looks like I have newly finished floors… I know you enjoy doing what you are doing but I home you know how much joy you bring to other people by sharing your experiences… Off to get my paint sprayer!
Hey! Just an fyi for you to share with all of the readers, I checked the Rejuvenate website and they have coupons right now good through the end of July.
Hi, Sherry. I just wanted to ask if you are still pleased with the Rejuvenate shine. It has only been a couple weeks, but I'd love to hear how it looks now. Thanks!
Okay I would love to do this since our floor is 13 years old now and is in great need of a facelift! BUT we have furniture in the rooms. It's a great room so it connects to our kitchen. Is it possible to do sections of a room? Or would I have to take out all furniture so nothing was on the floor and do it all. Yikes! I have always wished we had gone darker but oh well what does a person do when the choice was already made. Help?
How are these holding up?? I use the Bona cleaner on our house we just moved into and glad I had seen this post before buying the polish, our hardwoods are in great shape but a little worn and need some brightening. I have the Bona mop, did use the rejuvenate polish pad that covers over the mop head?
I cannot thank you enough for reviewing Rejuvenate! I accidentally stripped our brand new floors when we moved in, using products that were intended to clean wood floors. I have used TONS of different things trying to restore the shine but NOTHING worked until I tried this product. Finally the shine is back and I could not be happier!!
You are the best!!!
We JUST had our hardwoods refinished (full sand, stain, finish job) and our guy used all Bona products (waterbased, commercial grade finish). He recommended using the Bona cleaner to mop, but never to use the polish. Wonder why–Bona seems to have some other great products, and their finishes are fantastic!!! Seems like they would figure out a new formula for the Polish. He actually recommended having the floors screened and recoated with a single layer of poly in 5-10 years–when they look like they need a refresh.
BTW–had the Bona mop for 4 years, and and it fell apart the second time we used it!! It's a duct-taped hot mess now.
Thank's for posting your success with the Rejuvenate. I just picked up a bottle of the cabinet and furniture formula to use on my stained wood trim. I'm a renter and my landlord doesn't mind if I paint the walls but doesn't want the trim painted. The house is about 100 years old and the trim and kitchen cabinets are looking really sad. (dull and dry) the Rejuvenate did wonders. It even cleaned a lot of grease off the kitchen cabinets. Who knew it wasn't a dark wood stain but they were actually dirty?! I'm so glad I read this post and remembered to go back to it when I had the idea to give the wood some love.
Hi Sherry. After reading this post I decided to refinish our hardwood floors before moving in this Saturday. I'm using Rejuvenate and the Bono equipment kit and had a question for you. Did you use the microfiber blue pad for the polishing or the soft white pad that looked to be more like a dusting cloth?
I own a wood floor refinishing company in PA, and I just wanted to tell you that long term REJUVENATE is one of the WORST products out there. In the short term it makes your floors look better, but what ends up happening is it builds a film on your floor, and eventually darkens them, only to be chipped off with light traffic. Stay away from this product. Creates a film, a haze, and all kinds of problems that end up ruining your floors.
Thank goodness for this post. The day after we returned from our honeymoon, my husband (!) decided it was the perfect time to rip up the wall-to-wall carpet in our house. Because you know, the day after returning from a 10 day trip to Ireland, you think, "Man, this carpet really needs to be ripped up IMMEDIATELY." We luckily found hardwood floors underneath (woo!), and I remembered this post. We are in the midst of "Rejuvenat-ing" our floors, and they look wonderful. Thank you for justifying my obsessive chatting about YHL!
Hi Sherry and John! My hubby and I just closed on our first house (woot!), and it's all old hardwood floors in need of some serious love … I was just wondering how you're liking the rejuvenate results now that you've lived on them for a few months. I would love to know if you think it's worth giving a try! Thanks so much (and I love your blog :))
I have had terrible hazing and clouding on my laminate wood floors using Bona. Called the company and was told I have a bottle that has "broken down" and to use 50/50 water and white vinegar and clean it several times. I did so 3 times, it looks a bit better, not great. The test was to spray the bona on a mirror and wait. If it turned white instead of staying clear, as mine did, it was bad. They are sending me a good bottle. then we shall see. I wonder if I should not just use the vinegar water mix all the time.
It has been there months since you posted/ applied the Rejuvenate. How is it wearing? The only problem I read of, in some reviews, was that it was beautiful at first and then scratched very quickly and easily. I am wondering what you are seeing? With a kiddo and a dog you probably have your fair share of wear.
Does anybody know what happens if you don't wait a full 24 hours before putting rugs and furniture down on the Rejuvenate High Gloss product?
Ok I have a question. My husband decided to start ripping up our carpet this morning while I was still asleep :) the hardwood underneath looks in really good shape so I was wondering how yours have held up after using this? I know it's hasn't been too long but I'm hoping we can skip the sanding and just use this product.
Rejuvenated my foyer this past weekend. Still needs a real refinishing some day, but it looks soooo much better in the meantime. I'm glad I had your advice to go on – thanks!!
We sanded our floors about 4 years ago and my husband choose to wax them instead of poly. Wish we would have just polyester them bc the wax needs to be redone. Anyone know if we could use this on floors with old ass wax on them?????
Sorry about my autocorrect polyed not polyester lol
I have used Bona for a couple years, both high and low gloss. Sometimes, the floors turn out as beautiful as your final result, sometimes they look like your first result. Bona doesn't seem to care, to be honest. My question: did you remove the Bona polish before you applied the Rejuvenator? Or did you just slap it on over top? I'm going to remove all the polish using Bona's remover (they FINALLY released a product) but if you didn't bother with it, I might not either.
I'm so glad I found this. I just bought a 140-year-old house with original pine floors. I've been told they've been refinished too often to do it again, but they definitely need something. I'm going to give this a try. Thank you so much!
Thanks SO MUCH for the info! Unfortunately I read it TOO LATE! I used the Bona Polish on an area and am SO upset how it turned out. I am heading to the Depot now to try Rejuvenate! S excited, I hope my results are as great as yours!
How do you clean the floor once you have applied Rejuvenate on it? Does the cleaner affect the shine you have applied?
I'd read some not-great things about Bona here and other places, but our floors needed some MAJOR help. After a little digging, I kept hearing about Holloway House QuickShine. It dries in a half hour, which is good since we have three large dogs and two kids.
In any case, I wasn't very hopeful because said dogs had done a number on our floors, but HOLY MOLY the stuff worked.
I have honestly been exclaiming, "LOOK AT MY FLOORS!" to anyone who will listen.
Unfortunately for my husband, it's usually him that's listening. He humors me. In any case, if you can find teh Holloway House stuff, I'd HIGHLY recommend it.
I am so glad to read this post! Unfortunately I paid professionals almost $1,000 to sand and refinish my floors using a Bona product for pros and I am so disappointed!!!! It is that same dull/cloudy kinda look and I work so hard to polish but never get anywhere. And the Bona cleaner leaves streaks, and I'm basically using it on clean floors. So even higher end Bona…so disappointing…Even though my floors are recently (within months) "professionally done" I'm going to try this product. And don't get me started on the lint and hairs sealed in…
Why do people from Raleigh and the Triangle call them "HARDWOODS?" Even the Realtors there think it is "cute" to use that term in ads. The term is simply hardwood – NO "s" needed.
Hi Sherry,
Thank you for this post. I know I'm EXTRA late to the party, but I have a question for you. I just stained my stairs (with a wipe on wipe off stain), however, they are looking unpleasantly dusty and dry. I have been encouraged by the helpful people at my local hardware store to just poly over the stain but I'm worried that the dry dusty look will just become immortalized under the polyurethane coat :( Is it appropriate for me to use the Rejuvenate to brighten the stairs up before I poly? Or is that not appropriate? Should I just wipe down the stairs with a dry cloth and then put the polyurethane on and hope for the best? Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated!

Happy New Year!
This marks the beginning of the third year of Math4Knitters, Crafty Living. Thank you to everyone who makes this all possible. I really enjoy making this show, and I hope it adds a little something to your week, as well.
This week, I chat with the inimitable Meg Swansen and share a pattern for a quick-knit shawlette.
Tripinnate Shawlette
I was inspired to make this shawlette by the shape of some of the leaves that fell in my yard last fall. They are a lot like maple leaves, but huge! Maybe maple leaves can be enormous, like this, but I haven't noticed before.
I liked the structure of the leaf. Three major ribs branch out from the center. This shawlette is my first attempt at working on the same notion. I think I will try at least one more like this. I don't think I quite hit the nail on the head, but I do still like the pattern a lot.
"Tripinnate," as far as I can tell, describes a structure that has branches that then have branches of their own. Any botanists out there, please feel free to let me know if that's wrong. If it means what I think it means, it describes this pattern pretty well.
I used #6 needles and Dream in Color Yarn's Dream Club October 2011. 52% Scott's Ranch Kid Mohair, 48% Merino Wool, 100 grams is about 410 yards. The finished shawl weighs 97 grams. So, you should need about 398 yards of fingering-weight yarn for this project. Most skeins of sock yarn would work very well, I think.
I blocked the shawlette with an intensity that would, under other circumstances, be construed as extreme dislike and it ended up being about 50 inches wide and 17 inches deep in the middle. The careful observer will see that there are more points on the shawl than it truly deserves. Those are added purely in the blocking stage. Instead of threading a blocking wire through every row of the outer edge to make it nice and smooth, I chose points to pull on and simply pinned them out as far as they would stretch. In other words, this might really be an example of either creative blocking or an extreme example of very poorly done blocking. You may choose. I think it's creative.
The lovely, lovely Meg Swansen agreed to give me a little bit of her time again this year. We talked about her new book Knitting With Two Colors, Armenian Knitting, and dressing dolls, among many other things. Thank you, Meg.

Mcdonalds rant...grrrrr!
- chelleyd01 Oct 27, 2007 12:37 PM
My other had inguinal groin hernia surgery yesterday and is well...cranky and in alot of pain. He had a simple request. A quarter pounder with no onions and fries with hot mustard and bbq sauce. On the way out the door, my niece and her girlfriend submitted their request of a chicken club and a double HAMBURGER no onions or pickles and fries, also with the above mentioned sauces.
While pulling up, the line was around the building...great. Not that I love the wait, but at least there is half a chance of getting hot fries. I place my order. STRESS the no onions...STRESS the double HAMburger, NO CHEESE, no onions or pickles. I pull up and pay my $14. I wait. I am asked to pull up to an empty space for my order....they confirm sauce choices. 8 minutes later, I get 2 bags and a drink carrier.
When I get home, I get a QP with onions and no cheese, a double cheese and a chicken club so cold and icky the dog wouldn't touch it. (cold chicken, 1 slice of nuked bacon torn in half, 1 slice of weird color tomato, 2 leaves of lettuce so old they were almost black and enough mayo to spackle a house). Not a sauce in sight. He requests Cheerios because he is hungry NOW.
I am now irritated...more because I am tired and I know I have another few LONG nights ahead of me. I call. I request the manager. Smart mouth Susie says that Manager is "dealin with some other peeps" and call back later. I am hung up on. Do I call corporate or just blow off the $14 load of garbage and call it a day? Let me just reitterate that I hate hernia surgery!
re: fara
I doubt that this will yield results. I almost never go to Mickey D's any more, but the last time I did a couple years ago, I called to corporate to complain because the place refused to offer tap water (this was after I tried to reach the franchise heads, who have a recorded "leave a message" outgoing message -- yeah, like that's going to produce anything). At corporate, I was told that they franchise out and are not able to control the policies of individual outlets and refused to help further. And that was that.
re: bachslunch
Maybe I am wrong, but I do not think McDonald's is 100% franchised. And even so, I would bet that if corporate got enough complaints about a location, they might try to do something. I do not recall having a problem with Mickey D's orders, but generally I am only ordering for one person, with no special requests, so not much chance for error.
re: Shayna Madel
As suspected, not 100% franchises.
Anytime you're dealing with a place that busy, it's good to double check things before you leave. I never do this, and I have gotten home with wacky things. But, when you have picky eaters, what can ya do? With a line around the building, you know it's a madhouse inside.
Go ahead and call corporate. Even though it's only $14, you didn't get what you paid for. Maybe the restaurant is having some management problems, or has a new staff and doesn't know how to handle crowds. Whatever it is, it needs to be fixed.
Got to check everything, especially with the drive through. Which is basically not feasible when checking involves unwrapping and opening your sandwich up while a bunch of cars are waiting behind you. I have a picky family member that commonly sent angry letters to corporate offices about these types of things. Mc Donalds is responsive to this -- they would send us lots of coupons for free food.
This is a constant problem at our local Mcd's. I believe that the real underlying problem at our location is a language barrier. Spanish is the native language of most of the employees and it can be difficult to get a special order processed. I have a very picky eater and I have resorted to unwrapping the sandwiches BEFORE I leave the drive through window. It is much easier to just hand the sandwich back than park the car and run in. The second time it is right and much quicker too since you are holding up the line.
There can't be another fast food brand as inconsistent as Micky D's. Their franchising is so irratic, so utterly hit and miss. I've actually heard local Georgia country boys complimenting people at a particular Micky D's on how much better they are than other area Micky D's. "Ya'll always have the best hamburgers". I quietly agreed.
Not that I eat Micky D's very often, or anything.....
A wise man said (and I have to paraphrase here): "They (mess) with you at the drive thru, okay? They (mess with you) at the drive-thru! They know you're gonna be miles away before you find out you got (messed with)! They know you're not gonna turn around and go back, they don't care. So who gets (messed with)? Ol' Leo Getz! Okay, sure! I don't give a (mess)! I'm not eating this tuna, okay?" - Joe Pesci, as Leo Getz, "Lethal Weapon 2"
That's why I don't do drive thrus.
When I go through the McD's drive-through (which is rare to never now), I always pull forward and immediately check my order. They get it wrong 8 out of 10 times. I've logged complaints through their local website, and get a call-back on rare occasions, often days or weeks later, early on Saturday mornings while I'm sleeping. They say they'll send out free food coupons, and we never get anything.
McDonald's are badly managed, they apparently hire monolingual aliens and persons of decreased mental capacity, and the quality of their sandwich ingredients is spotty at best. It's incredibly disappointing to me because my first couple of jobs were McDonald's jobs, and back then I really tried to have pride in the product produced. But now, unless I want a breakfast sandwich (which they seem to get wrong more than right), I go other places for my burger fix.
My advice -- make them read the order back verbatim before you leave the squawk box, check it again before you pull away from the window, and ask for the manager if they get it wrong. If they are indeed making each sandwich to order, it shouldn't be so difficult for them to get the order right.
One time when I sent DH to get an Asian salad with grilled chicken, he brought home a bacon ranch with fried chicken, even though receipt read what I wanted. I complained on their website. The manager called, apologizing and sent me coupons for 2 free salads and drinks. I do check my food before I leave though, since I order salad mostly its pretty easy.
I would complain about Smart Mouth Susie, if nothing else. "dealin with some other peeps" ??? Honestly.
I rarely if ever go to McDonald's anymore, but if I do its almost always for breakfast. And I often place my order in Spanish.....and usually I get it right. Yes, its probably best to check the order when its handed to you...but unwrapping everything to check is not only a pain, but also leads to cold food.....
I've tried to contact McDonalds corporate about a local store (Ventura CA) that consistantly got EVERY order wrong and had indifferent management when I complained. They had a placard a number to call if you had complaints but the employees had covered it up. McDonalds sent me back a form message explaining that the store is a franchise and the franchisee is the one to address such problems, which translates to "it's not our problem." Fine. I came to the realization that this was a nationwide problem when I visited my daughter in Bellbrook, Ohio, and went to the local McDonalds. I ordered two sausage biscuits -- nothing fancy, no weird changeups. I received two biscuits, each carefully wrapped and and two sausages carefully placed in a separate styrofoam container. McDonald's reminds me of the old Lily Tomlin telephone company bit (I'm dating myself here). "We don't care because we don't have to." The problem is that you need to lower your expectations, then you won't be so disappointed/annoyed.
re: Fuser
That sounds like a pretty crummy response you got, telling you to take it up with the franchisee. You would think that the corporate office would take an interest since a poor franchise only gives the entire company a bad name. But in my experience, I have found McD to be the worst of them. It really seems like they could care less who opens a franchised location as long as they have the buy-in $$. You would think if you were lending your name to something, you'd want to make sure it didn't get tarnished.
re: monkuboy
Wait, the Mickey D's company has a good name?
re: Fuser
I think we all need to realize that, honestly, they really could care less if a certain percentage of their customers get bad service. I recently filed a complaint with one here and it took two tries to even get a response, and the response was a form letter. I don't go to that particular location anymore but honestly I really get the sense that it's easier for them to ignore complaints and lose customers and that they are fine with it. Frustrating, yes, but that's just how it is.
I always say I am going to call when stuff like that happens, but I very rarely do. I have learned to check my order before I leave the window. They hate that, but tough.
Sounds like typical food quality I find whenver opening a bag from a McDonalds drive-thru. Or when dining at one of their "fine" establishments for that matter.
well, I was so irritated that I sent my exact post to McDonalds website. I got a letter in the mail today from their Corporate office saying that they are trying to regulate quality control issues with their franchises and they were sorry for the inconvenience. Thats it. Not even a coupon for a free freakin double HAMburger!
re: chelleyd01
Maybe that's part of their quality control, not sending you a coupon to go visit another lame franchise where they will screw up your order, lol.
re: chelleyd01
I knw you may feel ripped off, but would it be any better to go back and get free food done wrong?
re: chelleyd01
Well, its a little off topic because it wasn't McDonald's, but I went to another chain drive-up today and ordered a cheeseburger. When they handed me the bag I glanced briefly, and thought: "That sure looks thick for a cheeseburger." Sure enough, they had given me a triple (and so charged me as it turns out!)...No cheese!! So I asked them to redo it, they supposedly did and handed me a refund of the difference. But when I checked the second burger (after I left the driveup...I didn't think lightning would strike twice!) there was still no cheese!! In a fit of pique I called the manager, and was told "Sounds like the sandwhich maker wasn't paying attention. I'll talk to her." No offer of refunds or coupons or anything else.....
We have one of the worst Mickydees known to mankind here in Delray Beach. Fries are always cold, orders are wrong, awful service by miserable specimens of humans. It's so bad people drive out of their way to another one or have given up completely and go to other chains instead. Even the local teenagers talk about how bad this franchise is and don't go.
re: smartie
There's one in my area that even waters down the soft serve mix to the point it's completely flavorless and full of ice crystals. An email to HQ did result in a question about the exact location of the store. That was it.
McDonalds does not serve food. It serves chemicals that happen to be shaped like food. You would have been better off just making a PBJ. That said, go BACK onto the website and complain to the corporation. Make sure to mention how you would LIKE to recommend thier restaurant to friends, however you can't possibly do so with the type of service demonstrated in your experience. Carry on a bit. Demand retribution. Stress the fact that you are a 'loyal customer'. They will most likely send you some vouchers for more chemicals shaped like food.
re: diablo
Perhaps.. but the odds are just as great that you will get a Lily Tomlin/AT&T Laugh In-type response.. McD doesn't care because they don't have to. They will get tons of customers no matter what and those lame franchise owners know it. Otherwise they would have cleaned up their act a long time ago because no one can be that oblivious to how bad the place is.
re: diablo
I don;t know about your McDonald's. but the one in my town serves burgers that are made from beef and french fries that are made from potatoes. The ingredients in the salads are also actual tomatoes, lettuce, etc.
re: SuzyInChains
Watch the movie "Super Size Me" and get back to me ;)
re: diablo
What are you talking about?
Beef Patty
100% pure USDA inspected beef; no additives, no fillers, no extenders. Prepared with grill seasoning (salt, black pepper).
French Fries: Potatoes, vegetable oil, natural beef flavor, citric acid, dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), dimethylpolysiloxane (antifoaming agent)), salt.
Beef and potatoes...plus a little something extra
re: diablo
Better still, read "Fast Food Nation".
While I understand your plight, fast food is not the place for special orders. My bf loathes all condiments, and pretty much every chain out their doesn't understand when you say DRY or no this no that etc.
When I occasionally indulge in McDonald's, it's usually a $1.00 double cheeseburger. They make so many of them that it's always hot, fresh, and correct. Now if only they could improve their vanilla cone making skills, I'd be in heaven.
re: Oh Robin
No special orders at fast food? When I used to eat burgers, I would usually go to BK because they really did believe in "Have it your way". A Whopper Jr. with extra tomato and extra pickle, and no mayo - never had a problem, and never had to wait. We also have a chain here in Canada called "Harvey's", where they build your burger in front of you - it takes a little longer because they don't start cooking until you order, but if you want mustard, relish, and tomato with the dill pickle slices on the side, that's what you get. McD's is the only one of the big chains where I find it almost impossible to get a variant on the standard package.
Always. Always check your order before pulling out of the drive thru. Check your hamburgers for toppings, and count everything. Check to see you have enough sauce and straws. Always.
Corporate complaints seem like a waste of your time. I'm not sure what you would get out of it? A coupon for a free cheeseburger, that comes in the mail in 6 months?
I don't know about you, but im not sure a letter would be worth the time effort and paper needed to make and send it.
re: in_wonderment
Many McDonald's restaurants have parking spaces just after the drive-thru window...an easy solution to this problem is to pull into one of those after you receive your order, check it, and then go inside to complain if there's something wrong/missing.
re: beb31
Unfortunately, many do not have the spaces and even if they do, it sort of takes away the notion of "fast" food to have to pull over and check one's order, then go inside to have it made right. In a perfect world, there would not be mistakes, or at least not as many as are made. Then again, in a perfect world, I would not be eating at McDonald's!
re: Shayna Madel
it takes away from the notion of fast food? i guess.
you want to know what would take away from my notion of fast food? getting something i didn't order and spending my entire meal in anger.
and seriously, it doesnt matter if someone is behind you, just pull forward in the lane. stop. look at your food. the car behind you can be at the window, and has enough room to go around you if you need to get out and complain.
re: Shayna Madel
also, i don't mean to sound elitest here... but mistakes are going to be made. mcdonalds usually has a very quick 2 minute drive thru time. plus sometimes the employees can be uneducated, or not speak english. theres nothing wrong with that, but i can certainly understand how mistakes can be made in a chaotic environment. also, if you get paid minimum wage, theres not much incentive to "give it your all".
these are all generalizations and open to much argument. im just saying that it is easy to see how mistakes are made at a fast food job.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Jeff Hornacek will become the next head coach of the Phoenix Suns after agreeing to terms on a three-year contract, the Arizona Republic reported Sunday.
Hornacek, a former All-Star guard for the Suns, is expected to officially sign the deal on Monday morning.
The 50-year-old Hornacek had spent the past seven seasons on the coaching staff of the Utah Jazz and was elevated to a full-time assistant when Tyrone Corbin took over for Jerry Sloan as head coach in February of 2011.
Prior to his coaching career, Hornacek played 14 seasons in the NBA that included a six-year stint with the Suns from 1986-1992. One of the league's premier 3-point shooters during his era, the Illinois native was named an All- Star after averaging 20.1 points per game during the 1991-92 season and twice won the Three-Point Shootout competition during All-Star weekend.
Hornacek, who also interviewed for the vacant head coaching post in Charlotte, was dealt to Philadelphia the following offseason as part of the blockbuster trade that sent Hall of Famer Charles Barkley from the Sixers to the Suns.
The Suns are coming off a dreadful 25-57 season, the franchise's worst since its inaugural campaign of 1968-69, which led to the team parting ways with head coach Alvin Gentry in January. Interim coach Lindsey Hunter was not retained following the conclusion of the season.

A reader in Northern California was looking forward to her birthday. Her daughter had invited her and a lifelong friend to celebrate the event in a vacation home the daughter owned in Costa Rica.
Since the reader's daughter rents out the Costa Rica house to others, she blocked out the specific time that her mother and her friend would be visiting. The reader and her friend purchased their airline tickets well in advance. Her daughter made arrangements so the two of them could go on several excursions and take a trip to the capital city of San Jose.
But then, the reader's friend received disturbing news from her granddaughter. A friend of the granddaughter had apparently gone to Costa Rica, gotten sick, and subsequently died.
The reader still didn't see any reason that that should alter their travel plans. But, she writes that her friend "panicked and canceled her participation."
When the reader's daughter learned that her mother's friend was no longer planning to travel to Costa Rica, the daughter canceled the time she had blocked out for them in her vacation house. The reader says her daughter did this because the lifelong friend's "presence was more or less a birthday gift for me."
Now, the reader is faced with what she sees as a problem. Since her daughter canceled the trip and she has nowhere to stay, there's not much sense in keeping her flight to Costa Rica or the excursion bookings her daughter had made.
She writes that her friend "has been very hostile" since she decided to cancel the trip. The reader's assessment is that her friend's hostility "is the only way she can deal with her guilt."
"Should my friend be responsible for our cancellation fees?" the reader asks.
The reader's friend's behavior might have as much to do with sharing her granddaughter's grief over the loss of a friend as it does with guilt over bailing out on the Costa Rica birthday trip. Still, the friend should be responsible for any cancellation fees she incurred for her portion of the trip.
It doesn't seem right to hold the friend responsible for the reader's cancellation fees any more than it does to hold the reader's daughter responsible since she after all is the one who decided not to keep the Costa Rica house available for the appointed time.
The reader may portray her friend's response to news of her granddaughter's friend's death as "panicked," but if that event caused her to rethink her desire to make the trip then it's her prerogative to do so, regardless of how inconvenient it makes things.
The right thing is for each of them to pay for their own expenses incurred as a result of the decision not to go to Costa Rica, just as they would have paid their own expenses had they gone.

Yes it's that time again...Back to School. In some parts of the country like mine, kids returned to school as early as August 2nd.
Needless to say I home schooled last year and it was a neat experience
but this year the kids returned to traditional school. Both my kids
have been actually really excited and today I walked my son to 3rd
grade. His teacher seems nice, and my daughter went to 8th grade and we
almost got lost finding some of her classes.

The basketball gods giveth and the basketball gods taketh away.
In North Carolina's case, John Henson returned from a wrist injury to play his first game in the N.C.A.A. tournament on Sunday night against Creighton, scoring 13 points and boosting the Tar Heels' confidence with his typical mix of tough defense, rebounding and blocks. But with Henson's return comes Kendall Marshall's loss to a fractured scaphoid bone in his right wrist in the second half of the game.
While losing Henson was a crippling blow for the Tar Heels, losing Marshall could be the equivalent of a knock-out punch. The sophomore guard scored 18 points against Creighton and had 11 assists. There are shooters aplenty on Carolina's team, but no one with the anticipation and passing eye of Marshall, one of the best point guards in the nation.
The game itself was a rough one, with hard fouls all around. Creighton's Grant Gibbs seemed to slap down on Henson's taped wrist with 13 minutes to play in the first half, resulting in a heated exchange on Henson's part that earned him a technical foul. Marshall's injury came at the midway point of the second half as he leapt up for a shot and was swatted by Ethan Wragge. Marshall fell hard on his arm, though he showed no obvious signs of pain or injury, and played through the rest of the game. Read more…

The producers behind the Lifetime reality show "Dance Moms" have been banned from one of the biggest children's dance competitions in the country ... after event organizers complained about the way the event was portrayed on the show last year.
"Dance Moms" is a show about intense mothers who enter their young daughters into dance competitions ... and during Season 1, the second episode focused on a HUGE competition in Pennsylvania called StarQuest.
TMZ spoke with SQ associate producer Michael Ian Cedar who claims producers did not air the true results of the competition ... and edited the footage in a way that misled viewers into believing certain dancers were competing against each other .... when in fact they were not.
Cedar also claims "Moms" producers misled him into thinking the show was about young girls in the competitive dancing world -- not about their catty foulmouthed mothers.
Despite SQ's grievances, Cedar tells us "Moms" producers once again reached out to SQ ... hoping to feature a StarQuest event on Season 2. Cedar claims he shot down the request.
TMZ spoke with "Moms" producer Jeff Collins ... who brushed off Cedar's editing allegations as "nonsense" ... adding, "We're sorry he feels misled ... we'd love to work with StarQuest again."
Collins also insists the show has not had any problems with any of the other competitions featured on "Dance Moms" ... claiming the show has been welcomed back for Season 2 by every organization except StarQuest.
What a bunch of big fat cow moms, Maybe they should take up dancing to lose the big gut, and leave their daughters alone. FIRST.
These little girls are so sweet and talented. Their moms range from strong willed to despicable, especiallt the teacher. It is obvious why this women never had children because there in no man alive that would help her!
"claims producers did not air the true results of the competition ... and edited the footage in a way that misled viewers into believing certain dancers were competing against each other .... when in fact they were not."
Well, welcome to "reality TV". Nothing is real, except Chlamydia.
every reality show is edited.....like the stupid TMZ show on tv.....
Flipping channels I've seen these shows where mothers exploit their children because they are usually sows or washed up high school beauties who have to live vicariously through their spawn. This dance woman is amazing. She's the size of a wild boar and has about as much class as one. Disgusting.
The girls are very good dancers but other than that no one around them has any self-control. I mean, shouldn't the dance teacher have some control over her eating habits and not get as big as she is? And the moms are just ridiculous. Hopefully these girls won't end up like Lindsay Lohan but I don't feel too good about it.
The "dance" teacher should try a little dancing herself. What a fat cow. And arrogant on top of that.
Thank God Starquest stood up for these young girls. Lifetime TV should be charged with exploitation of children and the moms and dance teachers should be charged with child abuse. Horrible show! I will never watch Lifetime again! I expected more from them.
Absolutely hate this show.The dance instructor is a bitch, and the mothers really suck at being Moms. Bring back the Roseanne show 'Nuts' Much more entertaining, and always good for a laugh...and who couldn't use that these days?
I was at a Starquest competition they filmed at last year. I can tell you that the large majority of the dancers there are serious and although the girls the film crew were following were good at dance they stuck out like sore thumbs due to their young age and their provocative attire. My 9 year old still talks about their 'bra tops'. No other dancers dressed like this. Additionally the moms were like Amazons. Completely overdressed, over made up and overly bitchy. The dance competitions are not portrayed as they are. Additionally, many of the segments with the dancers are staged by the film crew. We made sure to stay as far away from them as we could as I did not want my daughter portrayed in a negative or untrue fashion. Shame on these moms for exploiting their kids and kudos to Starquest. May we have our dance competition without them this year!!!
David, not ONE of the featured moms is overweight. If you are referring to the lady in the picture, that is the dance company director, Abby Lee Miller. She's an awesome dance instructor.
I wish all of the other "competitions" would follow suit, and not let them film, then that would be the end of that crappy show.
Good for Starquest!! I was at that dance competition with my students and it was not portrayed correctly on the show Dance moms. We also received notification of the show being filmed at the competition and it was definitely not what Starquest thought it was going to be!!
I would still love to know how this obese woman teaches anyone to dance.
The instructor is a fat pig and the moms should be arrested for what they say in front of their children. You are all hags and are pathetic POS people and AWFUL mothers. Take this garage off the air.

A Do It Yourself List To Home And Office Insulation And Draught Proofing To Save Money
Drafts can cause headaches when trying to heat or cool a home. Performing a home and office insulation and draught proofing to save money project will remove any pesky openings that are causing the loss of energy and raising bills. By following a few steps the project can be completed very easily.
Safety can make or break a project. In order to be safe performing a project like this a few items will be needed. Eye glasses can help keep dust and particles from falling into the eyes. This is especially important when working with material of this type because if it gets in the eyes it is like tiny shards of glass and can cause a lot of discomfort.
The second is to wear a long sleeve shirt to keep material particles off of bare skin. If material particles get on the skin it will become itchy and irritated. The last item to get is a pair of gloves that will protect the bare skin. Once the safety equipment has been gathered it is time to move onto the tools.
For the energy saving material installation the tools that are required consist of a staple gun with additional staples. A tape measure will also be required for measuring area prior to the application process. A box knife works the best for cutting this material so having one handy is a good idea before starting.
For the draft proofing portion the tools include a lighter or candle, a caulk gun and caulk. These items will not only help find the area that is affected but will also help get rid of it. If the draft is found to be coming from a door there are special kits available for doors that can be installed with screws and a drill.
Once everything has been collected it is time to begin the installation. Using the measuring tape take a measurement of the installation area. After the length has been determined use the box cutter to remove a strip. The material can be held in place by static electricity providing a hands free environment. After placing the material it is time to use the staple gun and put a staple in every foot starting at the top and going to the bottom.
When properly draft proofing the first step is to use a candle or lighter to find where the draft is coming in from. After finding the drafts location, use the caulking gun and the caulk material to seal up the affected area. By squeezing the guns trigger apply the caulk to the drafts source.

Penn State rewarded coach Bill O'Brien for his amazing work in his first season leading the Nittany Lions. The university announced Thursday that he would receive a $1 million pay raise, upping his total compensation package to approximately $3.2 million.
The question now is how long will it keep O'Brien happy in Happy Valley?
Terms of the agreement dictate O'Brien would return to his $1.1 million base – down from the $1.9 million base he will receive in 2013 – after this season.
Interestingly, the contract also would hold O'Brien to a lesser buyout in the event that he leaves Penn State for a job as an NFL head coach.
It's hardly a secret that NFL teams – specifically the Cleveland Browns, though the Philadelphia Eagles also reportedly had interest – had interest in O'Brien following the 2012 season. Ultimately, though, he decided to stay in school.
O'Brien accepted the Penn State position before he knew the severity of the sanctions the program would receive in light of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Though O'Brien has repeatedly said the steep penalties – a four-year bowl ban, a $60 million fine and a limit of 65 scholarship players – would not have dissuaded him from taking the job.
Penn State players also received permission for up to one year to transfer to another program without having to sit out for a season.
The season started wretchedly for the Nittany Lions, who opened with losses to Ohio and Virginia. However, they bounced back to win eight of their last 10 games.
However, the effects of the NCAA's heavy-handed penalties haven't taken full effect. They will begin to do so in the coming years.
That leads to the (multi-)million-dollar question: How many times will O'Brien spurn advances from NFL teams before taking the leap even optimistic Penn State fans believe is inevitable?
The new contract makes it seem as though Penn State is thinking along the same lines by lowering O'Brien's buyout for that specific scenario.
Few coaches could have guided the Nittany Lions through the tumultuous times of 2012. O'Brien managed the task in what was just his first head-coaching season.
Within the next few years, O'Brien will show whether Penn State is a destination or a stepping stone job for him.

Nonprofit Spotlight: Edge of Seven
It's no secret to most of us that empowering women is critical for community development in any culture. But with more than a quarter of girls in developing countries not in school, we've still got a long way to go towards that end.
Edge of Seven, a Denver-based nonprofit that offers service-oriented travel opportunities, works to facilitate education for girls in remote regions of Nepal.
"We're currently building a hostel for girls attending university in the Everest region," said Executive Director Sarah Andrews. "It's the only university in the entire region, and it can take two days or longer for the girls to walk there from their villages."
The hostel is one of a number of construction projects the four-year-old organization has completed. Among these are four school buildings built for fast, easy access to the villages they serve. By eliminating long commuting times, these facilities enable more girls to receive an education. According to Sarah, families will often remove their daughters from school if the time cuts into their household responsibilities.
Change Begins With Her from Edge of Seven on Vimeo.
Sarah said Edge of Seven works with community leaders to identify why girls aren't going to school and how to best facilitate their secondary and higher education. Studies show that girls who receive seven years or more of education marry later and have fewer children, improving economic and health outcomes for their families. Edge of Seven hopes volunteers will become lifetime advocates for empowering girls through their first-hand experience with these families.
Consider joining a two or three week trip, or customizing a group itinerary of your own. It's an opportunity to experience both the culture and need of these remote communities. It's also a chance to connect and invest directly in the lives of these girls.
Volunteers will experience good old fashioned manual labor, including earthbag making. This is a highly-durable, low-cost construction method involving fun activities like making gravel, filling rice bags and stacking walls. Work is often done alongside community members, and volunteers will get to stay with local families.
Not convinced it's as fun as it sounds? Visit edgeofseven.org for more information, and check out what past volunteers have to say.

Portland, Ore. (2013)
A beautiful photo poster of the St. Johns Bridge came in the Willamette Week last month. It's a striking, old, magnificent bridge, and the northernmost of the city's spans over the Willamette River. I was excited to try a new Forest Park hike today because it promised a spectacular view of the St. Johns…welp, it wasn't wrong.

text: Tressure here. I'm starting to put some articles from earlier proceedings on line and hopefully they will be showing up soon. (My slowness and not anyone elses.) What I'd like from the College are two things. First if you have any listing of any of the Ansteorran Heraldic Symposium proceedings - year it was held and what classes were taught. Any class that you have taught that you would not mind having the handout or article posted on the web for other people to use in teaching a class. Thanks a million. Clare

And that murderous look in your eyes...priceless.
"Ummmm...yeah. (....)No. Bad."

mar⋅mot [mahr-muht]
1. any bushy-tailed, stocky rodent of the genus Marmota, as the woodchuck.
2. any of certain related animals, as the prairie dogs.
3. a weekly kick ass show about a kick ass game

Nice Marmot movie.
I love most of her and lores videos, most of the time they are filled with witty and comical things and lots of good information, however, this one by her is a 5 minute ad for blizzards crap. Please dont do another one like this go back to addons and healer issues they are better content.
I really enjoy watching the Marmot videos. I would also enjoy winning an authenticator. I registered in hopes of winning, though I'm not sure why I hadn't registered before hand.
I recently got hacked, and the keylogger attached an autenticator to my account. Now I want one for when my account is in my preasures hands again.
What have I become, my sweetest friends. Everyone I know, goes away in the end. And you could have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down, I will make you hurt.
Nice Pandaren.
My first post to a Marmot video
Marmot was excellent as always
Lore's Weekly Marmot made me LOL when he said, "This is what us professional nerds call a dick move."
How much Marmite would a Marmot eat, if a Marmot could eat Marmite?

I've had librarians say to me, "People in my school don't agree with homosexuality, so it's difficult to have your book on the shelves." Here's the thing: Being gay is not an issue, it is an identity. It is not something that you can agree or disagree with. It is a fact, and must be defended and represented as a fact.
To use another part of my identity as an example: if someone said to me, "I'm sorry, but we can't carry that book because it's so Jewish and some people in my school don't agree with Jewish culture," I would protest until I reached my last gasp. Prohibiting gay books is just as abhorrent…
Discrimination is not a legitimate point of view. Silencing books silences the readers who need them most. And silencing these readers can have dire, tragic consequences. Never forget who these readers are. They are just as curious and anxious about life as any other teenager."
The Doctor: Shout if you get in trouble.
River: Don't worry, I'm quite the screamer.
A few months ago I made the mistake of letting [Alice] watch one of those TLC baby shows with me. She was really into it, and it was one that ended with a C-section. She thought it was fascinating. And then we had to play C-section, and she goes, You lay down, I will cut you.
Alice is one of my favorite people ever.
"I am a Christian and I don't want there to be any confusion about what I believe or who I am. I don't believe gay people are going to hell. I believe that judgment is left to the one upstairs and I believe Jesus is all about love. If I can live my life even just a smidgen the way God made his Son for us as an example I'm happy. I do not judge other people for what they believe but for me this is what works."
-Kristin Chenoweth
Here's what I see: "Oh, honey, you want to paint your nails pink? Okay, let's do it." Because do you have any idea how long a weekend is with children? Everybody gets bored; you'll do anything to fill the time. And if you take them to a face-painting booth, it doesn't make them cats.

Xtags helps CatBase automate imoderni catalogs
Pat Bensky of CatBase fame, describes how Xtags works with CatBase to produce imoderni's catalogs. (Also see the CatBase case study for Kellogs for another application of Xtags Pro.)
The entire document was built automatically, with minimal intervention from the user, telling InDesign to create the table of contents, for example.
(Click on the graphic to see the full pdf.)
- The data is maintained in CatBase. This includes all the details, picture names and sizes, etc.
- The customer selects which products to publish (e.g., all products for one manufacturer, as in the attached example; all products of a certain type, such as sofas; all products that a certain dealer sells; all products in a certain collection; etc.).

Xtags streamlines production process for hundreds of newspapers and magazines with Pre1
Mark Jockin, CEO of Pre1 Software in Portland, Oregon explains how Em Software's Xtags product became a backbone of the Pre1 newspaper software sold to hundreds of publications across the Americas.
In 1999, Pre1 first sold its newspaper software to an alternative newsweekly in Portland, Oregon. Today, more than 400 titles are printed using Pre1's SmartPublisher, with more coming online each month. By now, literally millions of ads have been converted into print. Xtags made it all possible.
Pre1's mission is to streamline workflow for publications by integrating into one product multiple business processes vital to newspaper and magazine publishers. For the most part, every publication works the same. The sales reps sell ads, the accountants collect money, and the production department builds the ads. When deciding how to unite these various disciplines in a single software product for newspapers and magazines, Pre1's challenge was which technologies to count on to get the job done.

Trans-Atlantic ID Card System
Zonk posted more than 9 years ago | from the hands-across-the-globe dept.428
Th3P0stalDud3 writes "The Independent is reporting that the U.S. has asked the U.K. to use the same chips in their proposed identity cards as the ones in our proposed identity card. In effect, creating a trans-atlantic ID card system." From the article: "The aim of getting the same microchip is to ensure compatability in screening terrorist suspects. But it will also mean that information contained in the British cards can be accessed across the Atlantic."
