Asking for water at restaurants
- h
- Harry Singh Feb 15, 2007 05:16 AM
When I go to a restaurant, I usually ask for water before ordering placing an order for drinks and food. I remember my first time when given the option of sparkling or still water, not knowing any better, I said, "still water is fine." After having disappointing food, bad service, and an ass of a server, I saw a $9 charge for my lovely Italian Alps spring water. Being a student at the time and on a tight budget, I wasn't too happy paying the bill. At another restaurant when my gf and I were given the option (remembering my first experience), I said, "I will have regular water." The server gave me this condescending look and said, "Oh, ok." His comments totally made me feel that I didn't "belong" in the restaurant and just made me feel bad. Now if I were with someone on a first date or recently started seeing, I probably would have felt compelled to get the fancy water in order to make a good first impression. Regardless, my gf and I can no laugh about this, and now know to ask for "ice water" (sounds better than regular or tap water). I really don't care to drop $7-10 on water personally. Has anyone been stuck ordering an expensive bottle of water? What are your thoughts?
I'm familiar with the "politics" of water service at restaurants, but I've not had a problem ordering "tap" water. My attitude is that if the waiter sneers, it's the waiter's problem, not mine. Of course, no one needs that kind of attitude when you're trying to enjoy dinner (and paying the bill for same!). There have been times when I prefer bottled water, and then, I always ask what is the kind of bottled water available. Far more typically, I'm fine with tap (in in nyc, where tap water is eminently drinkable....other locales may differ), and no one should be made to feel diminished by their preference.

< I always ask what is the kind of bottled water available. >
me too! Now, I don't mind paying for sparkling water at a restaurant if iti's the kind I want. But If I am offered Perrier, or Voss, I'd rather have tap water.
Upon being told the house water was Voss, and then saying 'oh, okay well then I'll just have tap water, thanks". I have been surprised at the number of servers who have laughed and said "yeah, it's terrible, isn't it"
re: orangewasabi
Thank you OW. I thought i was the only one who has refused bottled water i do not like. I think Saratoga is the worst of the bunch, and I won't drink it, Voss is all about marketing (personally i am waiting for the article stating that XYZ resto is citing for re-filling Voss bottles). At least with Perrier, you have a chance for an individual bottle.
It's getting to the point that i'm going to buy a case of the mini-Pellegrinos and bring one with me to the resto.
re: jfood
what waters DO you like, other than SanP?
We're a water hhld, I like San Benedetto, my husband likes Gerolsteiner &Apollinaris.
We can agree on Badoit but I like green he likes blue and we can't find either in NA though I hear AMI is distributing it.
SanP is a great staple, though I once heard it was so popular because it has lithium in it -- which is just fine by me.
It's a silly trend around here too - apparently DC water's atrocious. I wouldn't know, I haven't croaked yet :D I hope you all realize that most bottled water is just tap water with a fancy label and big price tag. And most of the time tap water is actually cleaner. (Most of the time ... )
My response when pushed? No thank you, I prefer tap water.
When encountering a water snob server, I LOVE to respond to the sneer with "Oh, do you have a problem wrong with my preferring ice water?" at which point they backtrack to fakey niceness to reassure me that they would never think that way. I realize that all I'm going to get is the fakey niceness from this point on, but I don't really care what the server thinks of me as long as I get good service and he pretends he likes me when he's at my table. If I don't get good service, I have no problem asking for a manager and/or leaving a tip accordingly.
waiter water snobbery is pretty silly, and sets a bad initial tone. if he's that worried about $7-$10 on a check, he has bigger problems. even funnier, because he's only making about $1.50 on the bottle, but the restaurant is making at least $6.
my pet peeve is when i'm sitting/eating at a bar. if i ask for water, then my drink, at least 90% of the time, the bartender will forget my water. i've finally learned to make it a separate request from anything else. that cuts the "i forgot" to about 50%. it makes me nuts.
re: hotoynoodle
I completely agree. I've heard countless managers tell servers how much more money they make selling bottled water--an extra $1-2 per table becomes x/night and x/week--usually when trying to justify the hard sell on water. It's absurd. It's nice to offer bottled, as Bryan says below, and it's a shame when the guests get defensive when offered an actual choice (bottled v ice/tap), but hard selling water doesn't help anyone.
I am a waiter. When I greet a table I ask, "Would you like ice water or bottled water?" Some people want bottled water, others want ice water. Some respond, "ice water is fine," while others say, "Baltimore has some of the best water on the East Coast." I never said it didn't, I simply offered a choice. There is no reason to be upset. I think some people expect waiters to be upset when they don't order bottled so think they are even when they are not. It is similar to when someone says, "Oh, we're the last people here you must want us to hurry up and leave.' It doesn't matter what you say they believe their statement to be true. Just my thoughts.
re: Bryan101
You are not the waiters to which we are referring. Trust me, when you meet a water snob, you know. I agree that it's nice to give an option to those who want it. And perhaps people may react one way because they have dealt with water snobs in the past. But make no mistake, there are absolutley servers who act as if you are asking for Boones Farm because you ask for ice water.
re: Bryan101
And well spoken thoughts they are, Bryan.
re: Bryan101
This reminds me of a SNL skit, in which people are too sensitive to the waiter or custo. The waiter was asking the perfect question and the custo was responding. Not being there it is unclear whether the custo was being obnoxious or proud of his water. It's similar to the question i've posted several times on the body language of the waiter when he asks if i would like a dring and i order water.
So it depends onthe circumstances.
re: ipsedixit
In fact, in Canada (ok- NB in Canada) we would ask you to put it away, because you are not allowed to bring in "outside" beverages into restaurants. Due to health regs!
re: ipsedixit
I certainly would charge you corkage. But then we never show any attitude if you ask for tap.
re: ipsedixit
One night when I was working at Denny's, we had a large group of teenagers come in with their bottles of water and pop, and was immediately asked to leave.
It seems they failed to grasp the concept that "Bring Your Own" beverages (food, etc..) into an establishment is Loitering in our neck of the woods. They also missed the fact the City Police Officers were in the corner wing.
When encountering a server with a water attitude I like to ask if the offering is eco-friendly water. If the bottled water was transported in heavy glass all the way across the pond, or over the mountains, consuming mass amounts of petroleum products and contributing to global warming in its transport to my table, it isn't necessarily what I consider "eco-friendly". Knowing what the reply will be - I politely thank the server and request "eau municipal". Right back at them.
Sometimes it's just so cold, I immediately ask for plain hot water. No tea, just a lemon. Seeing how a cup of tea can go for 3.50, I confess I have thought about bringing my own tea bag before. :)
That definitely sucks. I had that once at an upscale restaurant. I never care about water. And I live in NYC, where the tap water really is quite clean so it's not a big deal to me. Was not happy when I was paying so much for a meal already to have to foot the bill for sparkling water as well. I wouldn't have minded if I knew what I was ordering.
Sparkling water? I've had several - if I want Alka-Seltzer, I'll dine in a drugstore.
Sneering waiter? It'll take about one more irritation before I get up and leave - I still enjoy a Big Mac in the right company.
You've hit on yet another peeve of mine. If I ask for water, I want it before I order food and more drinks. I like having a glass of water and on the few occasions I've encountered the Bottled Water attitude, I say " Just give me a glass of water". Seems to the point enough.
I recall a waiter offering to "bring a hose" to the table of a customer that had a water glass that was continuosly empty.
re: hotoynoodle
OK. If the bartender "automatically" refilled your martini- how would you feel? It's the same thing. Difference is, you'd have to pay fo rthe martini.....
re: troutpoint
re: troutpoint
No its not the same thing at all. The water is free. The correct approach is to ask if hoto would like a refill, on either the martini or the water and charge accordingly.
re: troutpoint
troutpoint, i can only hope you're joking. ;)
re: hotoynoodle
Ok, I guess my point is that, as a customer sitting at the bar, you also have some responsiblity! The bartender is indeed there to serve you, however, I think that is sometimes a lot to ask for him to AUTOMATICALLY refill H2O at the bar...Unless you have made it clear that that is what you want to happen!
In a fine dining restaurant, it's a different kettle of fish. More of a personal bond between server and customer, if you will.
re: troutpoint
"sometimes a lot to ask for him to AUTOMATICALLY refill H2O at the bar."
I think it's his job to refill the water. Whether the custo is sitting at the bar, a table or anywhere else, filling the water glass is BASIC service, not something t hat is the responsibility of the custo.
re: troutpoint
i don't drink at the elks' lodge, so perhaps i'm supposing a better level of service. MY responsibility would only be to inidicate i don't want any more water. removing my glass without asking if i'd like a refill is just dumb.
re: hotoynoodle
you would be amazed at how many people at my bar will order a glass of water, take two sips, and forget about it altogether. my question is what kind of bars are you drinking in? i can see your point in nicer, loungey, upscale places, but at my roaring dive i will grab ignored water, dump it, wash it and use the clean glass to serve another. and no one even notices its gone. and on really busy nights we struggle to get all the dirty glasses washed quickly enough to keep up with demand. service in bars can be quite different from restaurants, as in "drink that water and get the hell out and don't even think about coming back."
re: augustiner
i just read my post and i want to expand a bit. i don't want people to think that i advocate rude, attitude-driven "service" in bars. in case it wasn't clear in my post above, i wasn't referring to the average person who wants to have a few (or more) drinks and have fun, and maybe misbehave a little (while being thirsty). i was talking about the lost, offensive, obtrusive, sexually dangerous, wobbly, argumentative, potentially violent people that ocassionally need to get tossed out of the bar for everyone's sake. that's why i was wondering what sort of bars we're talking about, since service changes accordingly.
back to topic, if you are thirsty i will gladly give you a huge pint of ice water. and another, and another, if you want. but i won't make a point of refilling your glass, either.
re: augustiner
i totally see your point, augustiner. i've worked in those places too. but that isn't where i go to drink anymore! lol.
re: augustiner
Yes, restaurant bars and good old fashioned drinkin' bars are different. A restaurant bar should provide the same level of service at the restaurant. At a bar where the primary goal of 98% of its patrons is to get a buzz on, water is a special request, and automatic refills are unfortunately unlikely.
re: TonyO
Tony, the plain truth of the matter is that SOME people can be just unmitigated pains in the asses. Constanly carping, to an already harried wait staff, WE NEED MORE WATER!
They're also the ones, more often than not, who want separate checks and tip lightly.I know it sounds like I'm stereotyping but I also know, sadly, that I've found it all to often to be true.
re: Harp00n
Agree. In many restaurants I will just ask for them to leave a carafe of ice water on the table. In finer establishments, water should be refilled as part of the service for which us consumers in the know leave 20% + when properly taken care of. For example, if dinner for two is $150, I think a $30 - $35 tip certainly warrants a water glass that is kept full !
re: TonyO
Almost our whole family and quite a few of our friends drink water, and when there's a big group of us in a typical (not upscale) restaurant, I have asked for a carafe before to save the wait staff some unnecessary work.
Now one time, I alone was drinking water in a large party, and I was drinking a lot. (I was eating a lot of spicy food! haha) The waiter had no problem refilling the other drinks at the table, but he did cop an attitude with me, and he brought a pitcher and fairly slammed it on the table in front of me.
I voiced my displeasure with my tip (still not bad but not what I would have left otherwise), but by the time everyone pitched in, it wasn't apparent.
re: Harp00n
i'm in the business too. i hardly consider it "carping" to want a refill of water, when i've even sucked all my ice cubes out of the glass. if the waiter can't multi-task, or see the big picture in his station, he's got a problem.
refilling water should be a normal facet of service, not an afterthought, or a "pain in the ass."
re: hotoynoodle
Not to go on ad nauseam H, but I'm talking matters of degree here. The parallel drawn by a previous poster of tap water vis a vie martinis may have been inexact but substitute designer water or a soft drinks for the martini and it is.
Scenario:a busy lunch spot, not upscale but not a dive either. The wait staff and kitchen are trying to turn around both the take-out and eat-in customers orders as quickly and accurately as possible. There's a table of six way over in the far corner with one woman drinking a Miller Lite, one guy a diet coke and another's sipping on a San Pellegrino along with their lunchtime specials. Two of the three re-order another "round".
And the last three people? Why they've ordered salads and tap water with ice. They continually flag their waiter down between and after the additional round ordered by the Coke & SP drinkers. Like dromedaries that have just finished navigating the vast expanse of the Sahara in it's entirety. Obw, the tip they leave is the $0 .87 of the $1.87 change they were given.
Embellishment? Sure, but not by much, I've seen it happen, often. In an upscale spot I also would expect that the water glass is filled automatically because I'm paying a premium for that level of staff and service. Btw, I'm not in the business and would make a lousy waiter. What I am, I hope and think, is a good customer who's expectations match my dining destinations.
re: Harp00n
You win some you loose some. The waiter did pretty good on the other three with close to $20 for the beverages alone.
Everyone at the table deserves the same attentiveness. Maybe the waiter only received the $.86 because he ignored the salad and water people and treated them badly. Self fulfilling prophesy.
re: jfood
It's obvious that we are going to disagree, jfood...We have on almost every post that I have made.
That being said, I get it that you and your wife don't drink, (and I don't think that it is something that should be an issue) but you seem to have a chip on your shoulder about it.
I realize that I was not particularly succinct about the water refill at the bar, but: there is always a level of service that depends on personal interaction. The personal relationship that happens between a server and his or her patrons. So, if there are problems with the service perhaps they are larger than "the server not refilling your water glass"
BTW- It's lose , not loose.
re: troutpoint
Thanks TP,
not sure about your point about "almost" always do but if you have time to keep score, more power to you. In deference to your scorecard, i checked the past few posts and either the mods have deleted or we do not disagree all that much (i.e. status of using GC's).
I agree that there is a relationship between custo and server, but i disagree that the custo has any "responsibility" for a refill on a water glass. This gets to Basic Service 101. If the custo's water glass needs refilling, simply refill it. If the custo has not touched the water in the glass then do not refill it. If the custo ordered a bottle of water then, in the same manner as your martini example, the server should ask if the custo would like another bottle or switch to tap water. This is basic and does not approach the level of "relationship".
And I apologize for the fat fingers typing loose versus lose. Nice catch Webster. Gotta get spellcheck/grammarcheck into these posts.
re: Harp00n
if the waiter had any sense, he'd have brought over a pitcher of water for a refill, while returning with the 2nd round, anticipating their needs and providing good service. instead of resenting them, making them ask and then wait, so he could passively aggressively punish them for the crap tip he's positive they'll leave. don't you think people can sense that negative vibe?
i don't want to go too far afield here, but water is part of service, just like cutlery. just because a woman ordered a salad instead of a steak, do you make her wait for a fork?
yeah, waiting tables is hard. if it's too much trouble to get people water, you need a new job. (royal *you*, i see you don't wait tables, harpoon.)
re: hotoynoodle
No I don't wait in tables and no I don't have an unreasonable sense of entitlement either..There is a time and a place and we are obviousy going to disagree to disagree.
Short sighted waiters who pass as water snobs give our business a bad name. But, what I also truly dislike are joints that have the water bottles already on the table "just waiting for you". I've owned a restaurant before and I'll say it again, this was one of my biggest pet peeves.
Anyone remember the name of the NYC restauranteur who started giving away bottled water a few years back? He swore it brought in more business.
re: chef poncho
And i normally thank the waiter for the complimentary water and could he please pour it.
The stumbling that occurs at thispoint is priceless.
The only reason servers push bottled water is because it can add significantly to a restaurant's revenue. I generally request NYC tap water (we have great water here that's why our bagels and beer are so good!). I have been very lucky and not experienced too many servers with attitude. Of course, one of the factors in my dining choice is quality of service.
re: financialdistrictresident
NYC water is very good and the bagels are a tear-jerker for those of us sitting 20 miles outside the city on a sunday morning and do not have that luxury. :-((
I am curious to your last sentence. Do you see the attitude at the higher end of the mid-ranged. I have seen both great and not so great at both and i think it's more server driven than resto driven. Some servers see each table as a revenue maximization linear program (restos too) and others understand the law of large numbers.
Sometimes I feel like their should be disclaimers and releases prior to the servers placing orders..."Check here if you agree to pay this outrageous amount for flat water, extra blue cheese, etc"
Agreed. Some of the worst charges I have seen have been for bread basket refills, and iced tea. A glass of tea cost about 7 cents, so maybe after 15 refills they may have a valid reason. I would be shocked if anyone felt that beeing charged $1.50 x 5 is fair. maybe if that was the norm, but it is not. Trust me, I'm as supportive of restaurant owners/managers/employees as anyone, after many years in the industry, but there are limit as to what is reasonable.

After visiting Hollywoodland and the Hansel and Gretel cottage, the last stop on our spur of the moment Southern California Storybook style tour was a family trip to Disneyland. We actually made the trip to see family and friends, but I owed a Disneyland day to my wife and kids after architect dad dragged them to the other places. Besides, Disneyland has some fun Storybook style architecture of it's own, and arguably the most whimsical and imaginative. This particular style is sometimes referred to as the Disneyesque style.
I have to admit, it was nice to see the rustic landing dock building on Tom Sawyer's Island in Frontierland, which reflects a little of the mountain style I design. I can only imagine what it would be like to integrate the mountain style with the Toontown style.
When I was in grade school I was fascinated with the architecture of Disneyland. I loved that the Pirates of the Caribbean had fun, yet authentic exterior architecture on the interior. Plus the fact that every "themed land" at Disneyland had it's own architecture, and in these were villages with their own separate architectural styles.
When I graduated from Texas Tech in 1990 I had job offers, but I still sent resumes to Frank Gehry, as well as Disney's Imagineering department. Architecture without limits seemed like the way to go. We were in a mini-recession, and Gehry's receptionist told me they had a stack of resumes two feet high. Disney sent me a postcard of Mickey Mouse, who kindly told me they weren't hiring.
I eventually took a path into the mountain architecture style, where there are a few limits. Snow loads, for example, are something you don't need to worry about in Disneyland.
The architects and engineers in the Imagineering department have done a great job throughout the years. They truly have no limits, designing whimsical approaches to historic architecture, or creating exaggerated storybook images. The former in places like New Orleans Square and Fantasyland, and the latter in Mickey's Toontown.
Mickey's ToonTown is a newer "themed land" in Disneyland, opening in 1993. The colorful, wacky, skewed, completely off plumb architecture in ToonTown captures the imaginations of children and many adults as well. Ironically enough, this area, partly themed after Roger Rabbit's hometown, was originally considered to be named Hollywoodland, an historic storybook themed neighborhood in Los Angeles.

Name Of Alleged Gunman Revealed
Updated On: May 24 2014 06:46:04 PM CDT
An attorney for a Hollywood director says the family believes his son is responsible for a shooting rampage near a Santa Barbara, California, university campus.
Alan Shifman says that the family has not yet seen his body. But they have been told he was killed and believe he killed six people. Shifman is they attorney for Peter Rodger, who was an assistant director on The Hunger Games.
A young man identified as Elliot Rodger posted a nearly seven minute long rant on YouTube blasting women who he claims rejected and ignored him for eight years. He titled it "Elliot Rodger's Retribution."
Police say they are investigating the YouTube video connected to the case that shows a man describing a plan to kill women. Authorities have not confirmed the identity of the shooter, and the identity of the person in the video could not be independently confirmed.
Police say a drive-by shooter went on the nighttime rampage near the University of California, Santa Barbara. The attack left seven others wounded.

A staggering 45% of the president's supposed base disapproves of his performance. And it gets worse for the president….
Angry conservatives are driving the approval ratings of President Bush and the GOP-led Congress to dismal new lows, according to an AP-Ipsos poll that underscores why Republicans fear an Election Day massacre.
Six months out, the intensity of opposition to Bush and Congress has risen sharply, along with the percentage of Americans who believe the nation is on the wrong track.
The AP-Ipsos poll also suggests that Democratic voters are far more motivated than Republicans. Elections in the middle of a president's term traditionally favor the party whose core supporters are the most energized.

The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.
The Uno differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it features the Atmega8U2 programmed as a USB-to-serial converter. Revision 2 of the Uno board has a resistor pulling the 8U2 HWB line to ground, making it easier to put into DFU mode. Revision 3 of the board has the following new features:
I've used many Uno boards in the past, but am especially excited about one minor update; the pin labels are now also printed on the side of the headers, so event when a shield is stacked on top, it is easy to find the right I/O pins.
Exactly as described and plenty of technical info available. Very prompt shipping from MCM and excellent price. Great transaction

G70, Charlotte Road.
I was walking around Shoreditch yesterday when I came across this lovely typographic image painted on a door next to the Kemistry Gallery on Charlotte Road. I wasn't sure what it represented at the time, but a quick online search revealed it to be connected to a retrospective look at the work of Kemistry Co-Founder Graham McCallum, marking his Seventieth birthday.
Sadly, the exhibition has now passed, but I love this design and hope that it isn't replaced any time soon as it brings a bold, colourful statement to the street.

Great book and movie
posted 5 years ago
This is an incredible book about epic battles for life and death between Water Buffalo and Lions on the Botswana's Duba Plains. This story can also be found not only in book format but also on dvd . I recommend both to all lion and animal enthusiasts.
Pros: Extreme survival upclose and personal
Cons: none that I can think of

Grove Mill High Ground Riesling 2009 (Marlborough, NZ)
I do feel sorry for Riesling sometimes. It deserves to be fantastically popular but it just doesn't seem to be able to get over its association with the sickly sweet Riesling efforts that people may have struggled with in the dim and distant past.
New World Rieslings are really blazing a trail of a modern wine style, slightly drier, and immensely drinkable. This is a great example and is in my view just the kind of wine that the "Riesling-avoiders" should be trying. I wish I'd kept this to serve blind to the next "avoider" to visit my house as I'm convinced they'd have drunk this very quickly before asking what on earth the delightful wine they were drinking was.
This wine itself is quite gentle. It has great acidity and the usual citric nature. The faint hint of honey on the palate makes it all the more intriguing. All in all a fantastic modern Riesling that shows just what a wonderful grape this is….

Take Action This Week to Ensure Medicaid UPL Reimbursements
To ensure hospitals continue to receive Hospital Participation payments (also known as Upper Payment Limit or UPL), please complete and return all the items listed below.
Please send the following items to firstname.lastname@example.com by noon Friday, September 5.
- Managed Care Organization Hospital Access Program Hospital Participation Agreement
- Vendor profile
- W-9 form
- EFT form
Thank you for taking this important step as part of combined efforts with Health Alliance Connect, the Illinois Hospital Association and the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services.
If you have still questions after reviewing the following Q&A, please call your provider relations specialist or 1-800-851-3379 ext. 4668.
What is Upper Payment Limit or UPL?
Federal rules impose an Upper Payment Limit or UPL—calculated every October for the following year—based on what Medicare would pay for the same patients, but applied to Medicaid.
How is UPL applied today?
Today it applies only to payments paid directly to hospitals by the state Medicaid Program—including fee-for-service or FFS (claims-based) + static payments—not payments by Managed Care Organizations (MCOs).
Why does the state need to have MCOs make hospital participation payments to hospitals?
UPL is decreased as hospital payments shift to MCOs, e.g. if FFS payments drop by 50 percent, UPL will drop correspondingly, thus the need for this change.

You ever spend months looking for an article of clothing because you've got a specific vision in your head? And you know if you settle for something similar you'll always think about the one you want. This is what I've been doing for months regarding nude suede wedges. I've had dreams about these Pour La Victoire wedges. But they ususlly sell for $200 Aldo was selling some suede nude wedges for like $40 I almost bought. Then these went on sale. 50%!!!! Sold! Sometimes you just have to be patient.
What are your current fashion obsessions?
Obsessed with these Sam Edelman booties. I just bought them for an insane deal. What I love is that the buckles and such detach. So if you want an edgy look keep them on if not take them off. Booties are great for skinny jeans, tights and leggings. I can't wait to get them.
I fell in love with this Michael Kors bag recently. I received a Nordstrom gift card at the same time the bag went on sale. My mom is the best. This red is beautiful and versatile it can be worn all year. And the gold hardware is Gorg.
So I bought a pair of Dolce Vita black leather boots in college and they were amazing. In fact, up until last winter/this spring they've been great but they hit their wall. I mean 3 years including winters is a good run. Not to mention I wore them 3-4 times a week for 9 months a year. Obsessed. Anyways, I needed to find a new pair because I wear A LOT of black. I had a hard time until I came across this pair of Dolce Vita Marlo Moto Boots. AMAZING!!!!!!!! They'll be at my house Thursday. I can't stand it!
I keep forgetting to post outfits during the week! Today I'm wearing a tobi utility blouse in plum, black j brand skinny jeans, gold corso como flats and a leopard MK scarf. I've accessories with gold jewelry. What are you wearing today?
I recently purchased some j brand boyfriend jeans in a lighter wash which I usually don't do but ended up loving them. I snagged them for $70! So much to my pleasant surprise I found another pair of j brands but a darker wash for only $125 with a cyber Monday deal! I love them. Boyfriend jeans are amazing. They're cute with a fitted top, a slouchy top, heels, flats, oxfords. And they're great when you're feeling a bit chubbs :). I always size up in boyfriends to get the right fit because im such an athletic build with a jlo booty if you need a sizing reference!
Who makes your favorite boyfriend jeans?
Obsessed with rose gold! Looking to invest in a watch and some dainty rose gold jewelry. You don't want to go overboard with it. It needs to just be a nice accent.
Do you own any rose gold pieces?
4 Notes
Vintage Chanel you say? Well then you are correct!! My mom purchased this for me for Christmas and I'm so excited to get it. It's my second vintage piece. I love vintage because it's pieces no one else has and for a great deal, usually. I'm in love!
1 Notes
Ive been shopping for fall and winter clothes as of late given the weather here. I love it. Cozy sweaters and leggings is my all time favorite outfit because it's so stylish and comfortable.
What's your favorite fall/winter outfit?
35 Notes
I've been eyeing these Steve Madden leopard flats for months now. I love the pointy toe. I love the studded strap on the back, I think it gives it a little edge. And it's leopard print which is just fabulous to me. I love adding leopard to an outfit as a fun accessory. I think i'll be wearing these with my black J Brand skinny jeans a lot.
What do you love wearing leopard with?

So Much for a Secure Airport Area!
January 29, 2010
Sometimes I really don't understand airp0rt security. I've been having boarding passes sent to my iPhone for a few months now and generally love it. I tend to lose anything in my pockets. It struck me recently, that the screen you show to the security people when getting your carry-0n bags screened is pretty easily faked. You just need any barcode and you can type in the info you need below it. This would be about a 30-second job in Photoshop. Save it to your cellphone and bingo — you're into the "security" area. Why would this work? Because the person checking boarding passes to get you to the x-ray lineup doesn't actually scan anything. They just eyeball it — they're looking to make sure you're flying on that date, and they wave you in. Of course, once you're about to b0ard, they scan it and will figure out pretty quick that you're using a fake screen. But that could still get someone dangerous into what's

The authors studied growth hormone (GH) release after insulin-induced
hypoglycemia (HI) in relation to urinary MHPG, the major metabolite of
central norepinephrine. There was a significant linear correlation of
urinary MHPG levels and GH peaks after HI in unipolar depressed patients
and in manic patients; however, GH peaks in manic patients shifted downward
on the GH axis in comparison to the unipolar depressive patients. The
authors suggest that such shifts in the GH response may occur as a result
of abnormalities of other neurotransmitter systems also known to facilitate
GH release.

LeBron James' talents go south in Game 1
BY RICK TELANDER firstname.lastname@example.com May 16, 2011 12:52AM
LeBron James of the Miami Heat questions the referee about a foul call in the fourth period against the Bulls in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals at the United Center Sunday, May 15, 2011, in Chicago. | John J. Kim~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: August 14, 2011 12:21AM
Let's say this, folks. LeBron James would be an amazing free safety.
He's the best, most freakish athlete in basketball, maybe any sport.
But, uh, this is basketball. And the question is still out there: Is LBJ the best team basketball player in the world?
In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, he was not even the most dynamic player on his team, with that honor going to Chris Bosh (30 points, nine rebounds) and Dwyane Wade (18 points, three steals). And for hustle and attack, maybe you even go with sub guard Mario Chalmers (nine points, lots of facial expressions).
The Heat got its butt whipped by the Bulls 103-82, and after his first dunk and subsequent multiple clankers off the rim, James looked like a muscleman who had somehow stumbled into an aerobics class full of speed freaks.
This is the guy who had to hold a TV show to tell us he was deserting Cleveland?
A man carrying his "talent'' around like a silver chalice on a bejeweled tray should come to life when the mere mortals are trying their hardest.
He doesn't score two points in the third quarter and three points in the fourth quarter. He doesn't turn in modest numbers like 15 points on lousy 5-for-15 shooting, six rebounds, six assists, and four turnovers.
If James is a point guard, he's the biggest since Magic Johnson, and he has about a tenth of Magic's court awareness.
The Heat dressed only a small lineup, making inactive as a trio for the first time this season Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Erick Dampier and Dexter Pittman. Those three average slightly more than 7 feet in height.
So if that's the deal — we're bringing our quick athletes to attack and out-hustle you — then it's up to a 6-8, 250-pound bundle of fast-twitch fibers like James to lead the way.
Instead, he wandered around at the point like a giant dribbler, and did the work that little Mike Bibby could have done were he not a midseason pickup and over-the-hill 33.
The Bulls' skinny, 6-9 Luol Deng — a pencil to James' Magic Marker — draped himself over the man like a shadow. Deng has never even been an All-Star, let alone All-Universe, but his savvy and desire earned him 21 points, seven boards, and four steals. And he was ratcheted way up in the second half, when the Bulls stifled the Heat, and James seemed confused and dispirited.
It didn't start like that.
Indeed, James blocked Deng's first shot, passed to a streaking Wade for a big dunk. Then he snared Derrick Rose's cross-court pass with a deft move and jammed the ball through on a breakaway slam that was almost frightening with its force and velocity. Such is James' power and — as noted — athleticism.
There were 40 seconds gone, the Heat led 4-0, and the Bulls' passing game was nothing but interceptions.
But, again, this is not football.
"I missed a number of shots I normally make,'' James said. "It's just one of those nights that individually I didn't have it going.''
Thing is, he can't afford not to have it going. The Heat is now 0-4 against the Bulls this season.
This is what is known as the playoffs. If Heat coach Erik Spoelstra is going to go small and concede height to the Bulls, then the little guys better hit the boards.
But the Bulls killed the Heat with 19 offensive rebounds to Miami's six.
Some of that is skill and long arms, but some, for sure, is desire.
How much did James want this, or even know how to want it? He shot only four free throws, and seemed content to sluff off the ball on drives to lesser players, and then just chuck up the ball in sheer hope at other times.
There's no question the King was excited and nervous and eager before the game. He said he did not sleep the night before, and he was tweeting at 5 a.m.
He admitted he was edgy and in a bad mood. After his afternoon pre-game nap, he tried to be as focused and in control as possible.
But if Miami went after the Big Three and got them, and the Big three are convinced they are the greatest assemblage of talent ever on a hardwood, then do it. Don't think it.
With a little more than three minutes left in the third quarter and the game starting to slip away at 67-61, Bulls, James seemed to come apart at the seams.
He got fancy on his dribble, and Deng slapped the ball off him and out of bounds for a turnover.
Then James tried to take on the entire Bulls team and had his layup blocked — or at least altered — by the fired-up Taj Gibson.
Then James held the ball in the dumb-ass superstar way and jacked up a three-pointer as the clock expired.
The Bulls were ahead 72-63, and the face-washing was on.
James will play better. He can't play much worse.
The question is, does his talent know how?

Product Description
A Garden Hose That's Built To Last
Don't drag that busted old garden hose around your yard another summer. Instead, grab the durable Craftsman 50ft garden hose and forget the yards of tape, leaky couplers and pin-hole leaks that rob you of the pressure you need to wash the car or send water out to a thirsty garden.
A resilient build allows this garden hose to withstand hot water temperatures up to 160°F while remaining flexible and easy to use all the way down to -25°F, so you can use this hose in the garden, driveway, to flush the water heater, or drain a pool for winter. No matter how you need to move your water, this tough garden hose will help. And forget about corroded couplers that you need a pair of pliers to get on and off, the nickel plating on each of the hose-ends ensure easy use for years to come. A solid piece of equipment you can count on, get that water moving with Craftsman.
- Garden hose features a new concave hexagonal shape
- Durable rubber matrix stands up to abrasion

One of the best hoses that I have found. Very flexible, easy to handle. It is NOT 100% kink proof - but it is very resistant to it. Wait until it goes on sale and you have a great hose at a great price.

We looked for a water hose for our dehumidifier, found this one on sale and with a coupon, decided to use this in our yard and use our cheap hose for the dehumidifier, we love this craftman so much better and it does not kink and is easy to use. We would highly recommend it.

Bought this craftsman hose at a great price for 20 bucks on sale at my local Sears. I have used these hoses in the past and they work great. I have never had any kink issues and the metal used to attach to nozzle and spigot are of good quality. Would recommend this product to anyone in need of a long lasting, good quality hose.

so i always had the green hoses, but this seems better made, hope it will last in the CA sun, it is heavier than green, the silver ends are much nicer than brass on the green hose.

We bought one of these about 2 years ago. We purchased a different style from a different retailer and that hose was disappointing. This Sears hose is sturdy and, most importantly, doesn't kink when we wrap it up to put it on the hose reel.

This hose is perfect, easy to use, will last a very long time unlike vinyl hoses. I bought a second one for my brother. The color is unique, fits well with my outdoor decor.

hmmm wonder where you got your Ruckus Kit from fella lolFinally got power to our 'temporary' classrooms until the new builds are ready.
Being temporary, can't wire them up for the network so using the wonders of Ruckus in 'Mesh Mode' to get a network to the four mobiles that we've had installed.
Attached is a photo of the car park where these are located; we've positioned a standard ZoneFlex 2942 up high (where the photo is taken from), which is hooked into the network and acting as the 'Root'.
Four additionals 2942 APs located in the mobiles (one in each), and thus creating a 'Mesh'. Standard desktop PC with cheap and cheerful USB Wireless Dongle attached. Result, working network for the next term until the new builds are in.
If you're still thinking about Ruckus, don't hesitate. It's absolutely spot on....

This paper considers the effect of stochasticity on the quality of convergence of genetic algorithms (GAs). In many problems, the variance of building-block fitness or so-called collateral noise is the major source of variance, and a population-sizing equation is derived to ensure that average signal-to-collateral-noise ratios are favorable to the discrimination of the best building blocks required to solve a problem of bounded deception. The sizing relation is modified to permit the inclusion of other sources of stochasticity, such as the noise of selection, the noise of genetic operators, and the explicit noise or nondeterminism of the objective function. In a test suite of five functions, the sizing relation proves to be a conservative predictor of average correct convergence, as long as all major sources of noise are considered in the sizing calculation. These results suggest how the sizing equation may be viewed as a coarse delineation of a boundary between what a physicist might call two distinct phases of GA behavior. At low population sizes the GA makes many errors of decision, and the quality of convergence is largely left to the vagaries of chance or the serial fixup of flawed results through mutation or other serial injection of diversity. At large population sizes, GAs can reliably discriminate between good and bad building blocks, and parallel processing and recombination of building blocks lead to quick solution of even difficult deceptive problems. Additionally, the paper outlines a number of extensions to this work, including the development of more refined models of the relation between generational average error and ultimate convergence quality, the development of online methods for sizing populations via the estimation of population-s...

So, in October 2013, I finished the first draft on my third young adult contemporary novel, Shut-In. I'm in a great writers group with amazing critique partners, and they critiqued the hell out of my book. I also got feedback from some other writer friends. I gathered all my notes and spent a few months revising and fine tuning and tearing my hair out and all the good and bad things that come with editing your words.
And then, finally, I decided I was ready to start the querying process. I'd been in the query trenches before, so I was ready for a long wait and tons of rejection. I put a very small list together of agents I absolutely loved. At the top of that list was super agent Kate Schafer Testerman, aka Daphne Unfeasible, of KT Literary.
I sent off my email queries and prepared to wait.
But pretty early on, I could sense that this time was different. I kept getting requests, you guys. Wait. What? I was sooo giddy. I couldn't even reel it in. I mean, out in the world, I reeled it in because I had to be Marisa-Reichardt-Out-in-the-World. But in my house, my husband dealt with a Jumping-Up-and-Down-24/7 person.
So the requests came in, and I was sending off partials and fulls and keeping my fingers crossed. And my toes. And my legs. And my ankles. And anything else I could think of to cross. But the one person I realllllllly wanted to hear from was Kate Schafer Testerman. Please, oh, please, let me hear from her I kept thinking. And then, one early morning, I did. I was actually sleep-deprived because I'd been up the whole night before with a kid with the stomach flu. I wasn't sure I was reading Kate's email correctly. But, oh man, I was reading it correctly. Her words were right there in front of me. Kate wanted to see the first five chapters and a synopsis of my book. I did a little happy dance in my kitchen, poured a huge cup of coffee, sent a little positive energy and glitter out into the universe, and mailed off my pages.
Ten days later, Kate requested the full manuscript.
Six days later, I got the email I'd been dreaming of for years and years. Kate Schafer Testerman loved my manuscript and wanted to chat. With me. My dream agent wanted to chat with me about my manuscript that she loved.
I cried, you guys.
The best part was that I just so happened to have one writers group partner on my cell phone when I first saw the message. We both screamed. Another writers group partner called me on my home phone. We screamed some more. I had one writers group partner on each ear and we were all screaming. And then rational me came to the table. It could be an R&R. She could want to talk about something else. Maybe she wants to know my favorite pizza toppings (for the record, it's pepperoni, bell peppers, and pineapple).
But the next day, I chatted with Kate and her super amazing assistant, Renee Nyen, and it was fantastic. We talked about Shut-In and I could tell that we were completely on the same page, and both Kate and Renee were so enthusiastic that I could practically see the exclamation points coming through the phone when they talked.
Crazy fast, we went out on submission.
And crazy faster than that, Kate emailed me one day to say that Joy Peskin at Farrar, Straus & Giroux wanted to chat with me. Joy Peskin. At FSG. Joy Peskin, who had worked on books and with authors I worshipped, wanted to chat with me.
Again, there was screaming. And happy dances. And exclamation points. And glitter.
When I talked to Joy, I knew she was the right match for Shut-In. We talked about editorial visions and pub plans and I just knew we'd work well together. I knew she saw what I saw for my book, and was only going to help me make it the very best version it could possibly be.
And then, on April 17, it was announced officially that Shut-In had sold in a pre-empt. And now my book is going to be a book. In a bookstore. On a shelf. With pages I can sign for my mom who cried happy tears when I told her.
Shut-In will be out Winter, 2016. And a second untitled YA contemporary novel I'm writing will be out Winter, 2018.
And that, my friends, is the story of how I signed with my agent and got a book deal in 2014. Believe me, I pinch myself every day. Thank you to all my Young Adultish fans for always cheering me on. I don't think you guys realize how much it's meant to me.

Shabazz Muhammad: Tony Parker to UCLA would be 'icing on the cake'
Apr 15, 2012, 10:02 AM EDT
During Saturday night's Jordan Brand Classic, the broadcast team shared an anecdote that illustrates the situation in which Georgia native Tony Parker finds himself.
This late in the recruiting process, he still had a list comprised of seven schools. He wants to have a traditional announcement of his decision at his school, complete with laying out a hat for each team still in the running, then choosing one and ceremoniously putting it on his head.
The problem with that is, seven schools, multiplied by close to $30 per hat, and it turns out to be an expensive ceremony. Time to cut his list.
The Sporting News is reporting that Parker has trimmed his list to five, UCLA, Kansas, Duke, Georgia, and Ohio State, and will announce his choice on Friday during a news conference at his school.
Shabazz Muhammad, who won co-MVP honors at the Jordan Brand Classic and is signed to UCLA, and Rasheed Sulaimon, a 6-3 guard signed to play at Duke in the fall, both told The Sporting News that they hope Parker chooses their program.
"I can't wait until he decides to come to UCLA hopefully. He's such a good player, and if we get him, that's the icing on the cake," said Muhammad. "It's a big time program and needs big time players."
Parker averaged 16.8 points, 11 rebounds, and three blocks per game this past season for Miller Grove (Ga.) and led the Wolverines to a 24-9 overall record.
If Parker chooses UCLA, he would join Kyle Anderson of St. Anthony (N.J.), Jordan Adams of Oak Hill (Va.), and Muhammad of Bishop Gorman (Nev.), to perhaps have the best recruiting class in the country.

SERIOUSLY GUYS. This kid Tony Parker IS NOT THE TONY PARKER OF THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS. So stop having the link on his name go directly to the Spurs' Tony Parker's profile page. How hard is that?

God willing, you will never party this hard. Police in Bainbridge, Ohio were recently led on a high-speed chase that saw a renegade driver clocked at 110 mph. According to Cleveland's Fox 8 News, after officers deployed spike strips to bring the fleeing sedan to a halt, they were met with a mostly nude, very intoxicated woman. The driver was wearing nothing but a g-string, a pair of tennis shoes and the skin she was born with. Police were eventually able to get the 28-year-old unruly nudist into the back of a cruiser (with some more clothes on), where she proceeded to go ballistic, attempting to kick out the cop car's rear window.
Erin B. Holdsworth has since been charged one count each of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, refusing a blood-alcohol test, fleeing and eluding, criminal damaging, driving on a suspended license, speeding and, our personal favorite, reckless operation. Holdsworth was later released and is set to appear in court on November 2. Hit the jump to see a video of the pursuit and detention of Ms. Holdsworth.
