- Great food, ambiance and serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 10/27/2014I took a friend to this restaurant for our birthdays, which are just one day apart. The staff made it a very special occasion - with bday champagne and a lovely candle presentation even though we didn't order dessert (as he's not a fan of sweets). The service was impeccable and the food worth a second, third or fourth visit. Two standout items: The filet mignon which has a pastrami-style treatment (trust me, it's great), and the chili lobster (a pricey app, but a nice hearty portion and a very tasty spicy sauce). Overall, one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while in NYC.Special Features:
- elvee1027elveeDined on 10/27/2014Lovely place. Love the decor. Food was great... The aroma coming from the kitchen was fantastic! Next time I go I need to find out what the dish was that left me wanting it! I would also like to hang out at the bar too...the bar menu looked great!Special Features:
- Consistently greatdoc1023VIPDined on 10/23/2014We have been to this restaurant several times. Each time the food has been memorable and delicious. Thankfully, there are several items that stay on the menu, such as the chili lobster and halibut. This may be one of our favorite places in the city. It would probably be our favorite place if it was just a little bit less noisySpecial Features:
- Excellent from start to finishMarcBVIPDined on 10/18/2014Excellent, excellent food, super – attentive service. I am usually very critical, but the experience really passed with flying colors. Will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExceptionalDanielVIPDined on 10/17/2014The "chicken under a brick" was quite probably the best chicken I have ever eaten. Everything was wonderful, well worth the cab ride from midtown.Special Features:
- DeliciousJen24Dined on 10/17/2014Went for a birthday and had the tasting menu. Waiter was very good and food excellent. Not only delicious but an experience for the mouth the way items were paired. One small critique is they assume everyone is a couple on how they served some food in a bowl to share instead of your own bowl. Further they'd give an odd number of food items for two ppl. Eg. 5 small pasta noodles instead of 6. We had to cut one on half. Would recommend and go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rosequartz7VIPDined on 10/16/2014really enjoy dining at this restaurant. Have been several times and find the food to be really consistantly good.Special Features:
- Amazing Array of TastesWendyVIPDined on 10/16/2014Great night all around. I loved the rustic and lively atmosphere. The service was top notch. Amazing use of truffles in the main dishes. Favorites included the kampachi and lobster appetizers, and I loved the 10 minute cookies and milk as well as the coconut semifreddo. Can't wait to come back here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic!KarenLeeDined on 10/16/2014The tasting menu that my husband and I has was amazing -- not merely a meal but quite a culinary experience. There were about 8 dishes to sample and although we were hard up pick our favorite, in the end we decided we both liked the tuna carpaccio and the chili lobster the best. And the service was impeccable!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- PhenomenalBkFoodDined on 10/13/2014Everything here was top notch starting with the specialty cocktails, which we had at the bar, before heading back to the restaurant area. We ordered the tartare and the caviar topped foie gras (special) as appetizers, and were blown away. I had the black bass for dinner and my friend had the duck...and once again blown away. I don't usually get desserts, but had to since everything thus far was so amazing. Yep...blown away. I'm a big ambience person, and this restaurant is chic and rustic, edgy and charming. Great atmosphere and super inviting staff. There was another iron chef dining at the table next to ours. So cool!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Limited wine listOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/13/2014You have to really search to find a bottle of wine for less than $90. Many were in the $200-$400 range. This is way too pricy even by New York standardsSpecial Features:
- Enjoyable Brunch4everonvacationDined on 10/12/2014We had a great experience at this restaurant. Bottomless mimosas for $16.00( not your everyday Mimosas, not orange juice sweet or sour, just perfect taste Mimosas) and very tasteful food, the courtesy biscuits are delicious . The service was impeccable what made our Sunday brunch a very especial one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great decisiongmomonayDined on 10/8/2014We had a great dinner! In New York visiting friends, I chose Forge because Marc is one of my favorite chefs to watch. Our experience was great from start to finish, I called and added another guest to our reservation and it was no problem. Drinks in the lounge, then dinner at a quaint table. Our service was awesome, the whole staff seemed to work as a team, we didn't want for a thing. Great experience, beautiful decor and gorgeous and delicious food. I almost went back the next day for Kampachi and those cookies!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 10/2/2014Excellent meal and service. We arrived late as the kitchen was closing (flight problems) and we were treated like regular guests.

- Unfocused StaffLiddyVIPDined on 10/1/2014This restaurant has a great menu with well-prepared dishes. There are plenty of staff on for service, but they seem to do a lot of unfocused rushing about. Response time seems unnecessarily slow, with items arriving well after you think they've forgotten about you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brunch recommendationOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014My girlfriend and I went her for brunch and the good was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Much less than expected...OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/27/2014Read some mixed reviews, but after our daughter and husband raved about Forgione's; we decided to go there for our 46th anniversary dinner. We found several of the elements of our dishes overly salty. I had the Berkshire pork chop which was tasty, but nothing to write home about. My wife's swordfish was mushy/mealy and overcooked, and lots of the beans served with the dish were hard. In hind sight she should have sent it back, because she was up most the night with an upset stomach that lasted well into the next day. We're thinking now that perhaps the fish was spoiled. I guess what was most memorable about the dinner, was that it was the first time I ever spent over $300 for what I would consider a mediocre meal!Special Features:
- Brunch!!!BinaCVIPDined on 9/21/2014We've gone to Forge for brunch two Sundays in a row now and sat outside both times. It's absolutely lovely, the service is always spot on and the food is fresh and reliable, we'll be back! Dinner is also great too, make a res!Special Features:
- Great Meal Unforgettable Experience2BFrankDined on 9/20/2014Going to the restaurant of an Iron Chef, I expected the food to be amazing (and it was), but what really made the night was the extremely hospitable staff. Claire, our server, really made the whole meal enjoyable from start to finish. Providing us with tasty little extras in-between courses and even rising to my (joke) challenge of finding us one more treat before we paid the bill (delicious mini-muffins). Food just tastes better when there's great service delivering it to you. And Clarie turned what could have just been a memorable meal into an unforgettable experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best meal on the planet (twice)Joe3Dined on 9/20/2014I just went back for my second dinner and Marc Forgione did not disappoint. If anything the meal was even better the second time. Such incredible attention to detail.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Iron Chef doesn't disappoint!FiDiLadyVIPDined on 9/11/2014Everything was perfect, from the bartender's recommendations, to the sommelier's friendly approach that was warm and welcoming, to the dishes being split on two plates in the kitchen so we could share everything. The peach shortcake was the best shortcake I have ever eaten. The only regret was not being hungry enough to indulge in the tasting menu. I'll definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit
The unusable Touchpad
Just had an intereesting experience.
I'm not a fan of the touchpad and awhile back I had chose the option to disable the touchpad when a usb mouse was connected. Also not being a fan of Toshiba's bloatware I'd remove their utilities.
A couple of days ago I noticed that the touchpad was unusable-with or without a usb mouse connected. Went troubleshooting. Used Verifier which ended up with me having to disable and delete the touchpad software so that Verifier didn't give me a white-line screen-of-death.
Good and well. I went to the Toshiba site and downloaded the latest Synaptics touchpad driver which has also been blessed by Microsoft. Installed same but still no usable Touchpad.
Turned out that I had to reinstall the "Utilities" from Toshiba, in particular, I needed the "flash cards" as FN+F9 enables/disables the touchpad. After having the flashcard utility, I can enable/disable Touchpad. (oh yes, the setting in the properties for the Touchpad had zero effect until after the FlashCard utility install.) Since I find the flashcards annoying, I 've disabled the display but it will be awhile before I forget about the FN + F9 combo.
On the positive side, I got an introduction to the use of Verifier.exe.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Largo High School is not for the weak hearted. I am an alumni student and my 4 years at the school were exactly what the rumors confirmed. By the grace of God I made it out of that forsaken territory. With the help of self determination, select counselors, peers, teachers, and administration who really cared; I was able to make it out on time (C/O 2013). The setting is filled with troubled youth trying any and everything to find a way to be socially accepted, minus the kids that actually want to become something in life. It was definitely a wake up call for me, as I sometimes found myself caught up in the fun and excitement of "High School", which was easy to do because of the laissez-faire attitude portrayed by the staff. Definitely not the worst school, but far from the best. Not to mention the school building is as old as sin lol. However, The bonds made inside the school are unbreakable. I actually learned more from attending than actually being "taught" Nonetheless, It was definitely an experience to remember, a very bittersweet, tart experience lol.
I just know what my son tells me. And if he like it I love it. No complaints this far. I have looked at the syllabus for each class he is taking. And I find these classes he is taking will bring him into his next level of education. Go Largo!
The only thing good about this school is the Marching Band. The teachers try but the students overrule. Avoid this school unless you have a child who can ignore ignorance, get their work done in noisy classrooms and has a desire for band and music.
I am a Largo alum, as well as a parent of a Largo HS student. She is in the biotechnology strand and we have no issues. I do believe some of the teachers could apply more effort, but I am on top of that. Yes, some of the kids are disrespectful/unruly in the halls. But it is up to the child to take his/her education seriously (with our help) and to decide right from wrong when we aren't around. Largo has proven to be just as great for my daugher as it was for me. I had AP classes while there. If you are a REAL parent, raising your kids with morals, standards, etc, Largo should be no problem.
I first entered Largo as a junior in August 2010 and I was shocked. I came from Virginia and you had to know that the environment and the people was different from what I am used to. For one, the school is not diverse, the students are unruly to teachers and some teachers, take it or laugh it off and that's not right, the lunch is a mess (miss my school lunch back in Alex, VA) , the kids meander through the halls as if they have nothing better to do, and the place is old and stale, especially the nasty rest rooms. Not what I am used to but overall, its not a bad school. To me, just students who want to be bad. The people are nice, well some and it all depends on the student. Of course, there are kids who act up and there are kids who actually do a great job and the kids who do great jobs, get a bad rep for just attending Largo but that's why we work hard to differentiate ourselves from the knuckleheads and in the end we will be rewarding.
Largo High School has many special programs that most people are not aware. Like any school, if the teachers and the administration KNOW that you are supportive and involved AND you have your student in one of the specialized educational offerings, it will be a rewarding experience for you and your student. From our spot visits, the school is conducive to successful learning and the days of daily brawls are no more. The school definitely needs more parent participation but that goes for all schools that we have visited and attended PTA meetings.The Academy of Finance is great and the students attend overnight trips that are extremely educational and enlightening! The students that attend Largo High School and graduate from the special programs will continue to excel in college, You get out of it what you put in! One thing for sure graduating from Largo with advanced classes and programs and maintining a good GPA with all the distractions that public school has, YOU ARE WELL PREPARED FOR COLLEGE AND LIFE IN GENERAL! GO LIONS!
I think this school is off the chains and i definetly dont feel safe their. But I have to go their. I really dont like how the students take over the classrooms and tell the teachers what to do. If you think about putting your child in this school i recomend that you dont.
I attended this school for almost two years. I transfered at the end of eleventh grade. It is a terrible place to send your child from the students to the staff and to the work ethic. In my opinion, I would say there is only about one teacher in each grade (out of all the teachers and staff) that actully care about the students and giving them an education. Because of the original reputation that LHS has had for many years, the newer generation continue those crazy antics in the school's society. Authority has no respect for the students as to help them in bad times, or take on a situtation (as in a fight) in ways that a school should. The teachers do not care, administration is poorly put together. The Nothing benefits from coming to this school.
Don't go to largo high school if you plan on going somewhere in life. If you do you'll have to work like heck. Careless teachers, outrageous students, poor facilities, and lack of supplies(text books, etc.). Getting an education to go to college should never be this stressful and how do i know? I've seen examples of good schools and this is not one of them. I am not proud to be a largo high school student.
I am currently a senior at LHS, and I have expreienced the worse of times and I am blessed to have experienced the best of times. Since our new principal stepped in last year, she has made a positive change to the school. She has implemented programs that helps the students from all grades to prepare for post-secondarly life such as Advisory classes and College Summit. Honestly she has walked into a mess and she was able to turn it around and i applaud her. She didn't give up on us like some of the parent's that have posted comments have. My mother is very much involved in the school and there needs to be more like her. We don't need parents coming up to the school when their child gets suspended or when homecoming is cancelled, we need parents to be up there on back to school night for PTA.
As a former student, I'm in agreement that the environment is horrible. The students are much akin to a mob; subjecting each other to suffering in an unimaginable way. Few of my fellow students at all ever showed any sort of initiative, interest, or action, that is, aside from the ridiculous displays alluded to (discrimination within classes, fights, etc. being prime among them.) The students, are without a doubt, a motley lot. That is to say nothing of the teachers, though, who suffered far worse than some gawky white kid who went a few years back. The teachers are easily mistreated, disrespected, and taken for granted, merely ignored on most occasions, though. These are guys who deserve so much more, having shown a love for what they do, if not a general interest. My heart goes out to men like Mr. Olushegun, Layne, and Bedford who work in this veritable Hell.
I have two children that attend Largo and their experiences are night and day. My one child takes AP classes and has had no issue with class disruption. While my other child's classrooms (which are not AP classes) are plagued with disrespectful students and teachers that either do not know how to handle those situations or choose to ignore the situation. A typical day in those classes consist of student using profanity towards teachers, students leaving class without permission, & numerous other disruptive behaviors. At given time there are students roaming the hallway either on their cell phones ore listening to mp3 players. noted that Largo has a new badging system to track students. The badging system only confirms that the student at least walked into the building. I could go on with an extensive laundry list, but I am limited in the forum. Avoid this school if possible.
A a Biotech honors student, I am getting one of the best educations I've ever had. Teachers are on par, principal leadership is improving daily. New technological equipment is provided for all students. No favoritism is shown towards sports teams or anyone else. They now have a advanced security system in which you swipe the LHS ID card in a attendence slot. This tracks students cutting class, and tells if your child has been to school or not. Up to date media center, computers, and gym equipment. Largo is a mutual environment of learning and respect, and Irecommend others to go to Largo's extensive programs and wonderful evening high school for those adults who have not gotten their diploma. (you can still earn one at Largo's Eve. High as well.) You'll look foward to it!
Largo High School is not the worse school on the face of the earth. All these parents talking this drivel are getting on my nerves. There are troublesome students there just as any other high school. Its just for some reason we receive more attention. As someone has already said, Largo provides some of the most promising academic programs. There are pre-college courses, and career-prep courses. Now, you cannot blame the school, teachers or administration for the behaviors of the students. Their behavior is a reflection of their upbringing and everyday environment. Not everyone who comes out of Largo is a mess. Many parents are not involved in the events taking place.
I am an honor student at Largo, and the horrible comments made about it, I find them to be quite offensive. Largo is filled with amazing students, brilliant students, most of which I am friends with. The fact of the matter is that all of Largo's good is constantly overshadowed by negativity. One thing that everyone should understand is that, it is the students, and by extension, the parents, not the school. Largo has many good programs(e.g. Biotech... Law... Finance... AP), many of which the students don't take seriously. They simply don't take these courses, nor do they utilize their resources such as a Career center, something that most schools do not have. The students are not motivated enough. Why? The lack of motivation is causing Largo to lose a good staff, funding, and more AP courses. Do you get it now? It's not the school, it is the students!
I think that whatever people are saying about Largo High School is true. Our kids go there to act up because they know they can and will get away with it. Also you have to look at how long that school has been there and how it looks. Also you have to look at the teachers. The school system always says 'no child left behind' and I dont see anyone waiting for a single student in that school.
My son is a first year student at Largo High School. I think that there is more room improvement between the student, parents and teachers. I have call on several times to request for a PTA conference and had no answer from Guidance. His one one teacher is very responsive to school notes which is great. I am learning as a parent to go to the school notes and look to ensure that I can help with the need that my child is following the homework assignments. I think with any school it will take all of us to improve. It don't matter where you go. I would like to see more collaboration among us all to make it get better over time, because that is what it going to take to get there is time, patience and ownership of all of our responsibility in the class, as students & parents.
This has been my worst experience in the public school system since my daughter has been in school. She is a sophomore this year and every year it seems to get worse. They decided to go to uniforms this year, which was fine with me since my daughter has worn uniforms since being in school, her freshman year at Largo being her first year not wearing them. This year has been a total debacle to say the least. If you have another choice go there.
This students at this school(not all, but alot of them)are out of control. I am a former student at this school. The teachers are great. It's the students in the class that make it hard to learn anything. All of my classes were very disruptive. Leaving was the best thing that happened to me.
I've attended Largo all 3 and coming up on 4 years of my high school career and I think that everything negative that people are saying is unbelievable. Most people saying these things are people that know absoultely nothing about Largo. People make it seem like our school is a zoo and it's not. No school is perfect, not even the brand new ones that parents just have to have their kids in are. Largo offers programs that most schools in PG County don't have. And if some of you took the time to actually read up on Largo instead of just bashing the school and it's teaching staff and students you'd know that. We have science&tech. programs, a Law, Finance, and an Entrepeneurship that are offered to students their sophimore year. And there are plenty of worse schools in PG, others have made the evening news!

[FANACCOUNT] 2013 Hyesung's The Year's Journey talk:
In an Ment, Hyesung said he pretended he had terrible acting skills when he shot that VCR. The audience went "Ai~~~" He asked, "What's with you guys, didn't you watch SNL? It was really on purpose that I pretended I didn't know acting when I went to shoot. Isn't it very interesting? I really put my heart into preparing for this."
When he drank water, he purposely provoked everyone to scream and had a cheeky expression. And then he said, "Actually I was at the side watching while the VCR played. Everyone was laughing till they saw a certain scene (Referring to the R19 portion), it required preparation and acting skills.." Everyone went "Ai~~~"
Hyesung: "You guys keep responding like that no matter what I say. I'm very proud of this production, if I participate in any film festival next year, I'll win 'Best Newcomer' award."

Joe Torre's new book, The Yankee Years, is in the headlines for the manager's candid opinions of former players and coworkers. Among those slammed were [prissy] Alex Rodriguez, [drunk] David Wells and [asian] Hideki Matsui.
As his book release date approaches, even more Torre pull quotes have surfaced and his targets may surprise you.
On George Steinbrenner: "George was interesting because at the end of the day all he wanted to do was win. And sleep with men."
On David Justice: "The guy wore make up. That's why I had to use him as a DH fans would burn the stadium down if they saw a Yankee wearing that much blush. I mean a little blush is fine, obviously, but you should've seen his MAC carryall."
On Derek Jeter: "Mariah Carey. Jessica Biel. Scarlett Johansson, That French Chick You Never Found Out About, Jessica Alba, Tyra Banks, Tom Brady, Miss Universe and Oprah. And that's July of 2004."
On Chipper Jones: "I've never coached the guy. I can tell you he has consistently played a great third base for the Braves. Very little bat movement in the box. He missed our interleague series due to the birth of his baby boy. I'm pretty sure the Yankees sent his family some blue baseballs."
On Boston: "It's the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the T to the ballpark, looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing."
*From the chapter entitled, "John Rocker Quotes I Agree With But Think About Regarding Boston"
More on Steinbrenner: "He keeps acid in his turtleneck like Hendrix with his headband. George thought he was holding a tree frog when he was actually signing Hideki Irabu to a 4 year, 13 million dollar deal."
More on David Justice: "Strawberry hated him. Lucky for Strawberry, he was always getting arrested for domestic violence, tax evasion, drug abuse and failure to pay child support so he didn't have to deal with the pretty boy [Justice]."
On Aladdin: "Alright, a little off topic here but I just saw this movie and that gypsy kid is an idiot. He was given three wishes, right? One of the rules was "No wishing for more wishes."
- Wish #1 Wish for that rule to be overturned.
- Wish #2 Wish for a thousand wishes.
- Wish #3 Wish for a compact, digital wish tracker so you know when you need to reload.
From the chapter entitled, "The Night I Did Acid and Watched Disney Movies with George Steinbrenner"
Even more on Steinbrenner: "When the team went on road trips George would stay at the stadium and force the grounds crew to roll him up in the tarp and shout, 'I'm a hot dog! I'm a hot dog!'"
On LA's, Suge Knight: "Nope."
On co-writer Tom Verducci:"I get the feeling that Verducci edited alot of what I said out of context in order to sell more books. I mean, Matsui isn't Asian. Is he?"

Lady Sonia - Wet & Slippery!
I have had LOADS of members write in and ask me to make a "Wet & Slippery" video over the last few months so on Wednesday Charles was away on business and Liz and myself were in the office all alone and bored with the sun shining outside so I suggested that we take a couple of bottles of baby oil upstairs together with the video camera and then just make a LOT of mess and have some REAL fun for all of my members here! If you are into seeing women absolutely glistening and COVERED in oil on camera then you are REALLY going to enjoy this! It was HUGE fun to shoot even though it took HOURS to clear up the mess afterwards!
WOW, HOT HOT HOT @Sonia_Hotwife looking AWESOME covered in oil!

The other thing I would recommend that you do when speaking with each company / supplier is to ensure that you get real world examples of usage for both technical and educational requirements. If you are wanting learners to bring their own technology then you might need to look at what ports you have open, how you will be able to weight school traffic ahead of 'user' traffic (unless you want all your VIth formers watch Top Gear during independent study time or leeching the latest films, resulting in virtually no access for the rest of the school to online resources!), how you will help teachers make the most of learners having their own kit (eg no flash stuff in case some have iPads / iPod Touches, different screen sizes and resolutions, some sites responding differently between regular and mobile versions, etc) and so on.
Also, will you be allowing learners access to school hosted resources? will this be files via webdav shares? remote desktop / terminal server solutions, etc? How will the networks be segregated? Different SSIDs going to different VLANs? Physically separate network? Some suppliers will demo kit to you using *their* kit ... ie their laptops, etc. Don't let them. Make sure you have a full range of devices (ask the kids to bring things in) to test with. Don't get bogged down by "time to log onto the network" when most improvements on this centre around profiles and GPOs being applied. Next week I am meeting with a company to get commissioned a summary of all the case studies and research on this area. it will be available under CC so I'll share on here (available mid-March).

Syria not the only chemical weapons concern
The US military is focused on Syria right now, but there are other areas where
chemical weapons are of great concern. "I've just returned from Asia, where I had a
very serious and long conversation with South Korea's defense minister about the
threat that North Korea's stockpile of chemical weapons presents to them," said
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel. Referring to Syria's situation, he said the US
must demonstrate through its actions that the use of chemical weapons is

Kind Words from Hospitable People
"This was the best seminar I was privileged to attend in the past two months. The speaker was unreal good and the info he gave us has already had a positive impact on our town. It was a game changer for Federalsburg. Good job. No, great job. Thank you." — Bill Beall, Mayor of Federalsbug, Maryland
"Jason is a compelling speaker full of innovative ideas. His notions of collaboration through public/private partnership and bringing together Education and Economic Development and the Internet are cutting edge and worthy of note by those of influence in these sectors."
John M. Papadopulos, President, Wells Fargo Retirement
"Jason is a visionary person with a remarkable ability to put ideas into action. In supporting economic development of Old Town Rock Hill, Jason has created an annual Old Town, New World conference (see http://www.oldtownnewworld.net/), has built partnerships with York Technical College, Winthrop University and the City of Rock Hill to create The Hive (see http://hiveu.me/) and served as a board member and committee chair for Rock Hill Economic Development Corporation. And along the way, he's built a growing, successful business. Highest recommendations!"
Stephen Turner, Director of Economic and Urban Development, City of Rock Hill
"The York County Medical Society appreciates your informative and engaging presentation on the ongoing Internet Revolution and it's impact on medicine." Vipul Thakker, M.D.
"Jason, your topic, information covered, and presentation style and method was on right target for our community's/region's nonprofits that are considering using social media and the internet to increase their current and future constituents' awareness and support of their organizations."
Lane D. Cook, Vice President of Planned Giving & Development, Foundation For The Carolinas
"Great job, Jason! Thank you so much for your support of the Entrepreneur Network. You're a pro!"
Edie Dille, Associate Dean for Business and Information Technology, York Technical College
"Jason is an excellent speaker and relates well to people attending. He has a solid understanding of social media and how it should be used. I would highly recommend him as a speaker on social media. He recently made a presentation at the South Carolina Technology Conference on social media to the Independent Agents and Brokers of South Carolina. We had great feedback from those that attended, as it gave them a better understanding of how to use technology for marketing."
Vance Stine, Chair of the Independent Insurance Agents Brokers of South Carolina
"Jason has been delightful to work with and has received rave reviews from CPCC's Institute for Entrepreneurship's clients, students, and staff. His high energy coupled with the take home value of his sessions has made him an invaluable resource. KUDOS for repeatedly delivering a strong message full of tips and techniques which the audience could easily take away and implement instantly."
Renee Hode Director of the Institute for Entrepreneurship, Central Piedmont Community College
"Jason captivates an audience. We had many small business owners say that no one has ever explained the Web and, in particularly, how they can specifically use the Web for their businesses as clearly as Jason did. Very entertaining and very informative!"
Susan Brackett, Former Dean of Continuing Education, York Technical College
"I have heard Jason make numerous presentations to boards, public audiences, and City Council, and I feel he is an articulate, insightful and entertaining speaker."
Gerry Schapiro, Assistant City Manager, City of Rock Hill, SC
"Jason is a great public speaker!"
Jami Wilson, City of Rock Hill, Economic and Urban Development
"I recently had the opportunity to hear Jason speak at an Entrepreneur Network event and as a marketing coach, I was amazed at the amount of relevant, actionable content he provided during his short presentation. Quite often I'll hear speakers that only share a portion of their knowledge and expertise, holding the best stuff back for their paying clients. Not Jason. It was very apparent that he holds nothing back, shares every relevant secret, and is only concerned about providing as much education as he can cram into the allotted time. If you're looking for an entertaining, hold-nothing-back speaker, you'd be crazy not to give Jason the floor."

The real meaning of the season comes to light with the story of how one woman — Sarah Sampsel — gives another woman one of her kidneys.
Dr. Lisa Latts needed a transplant after complications stemming from the birth of her twins.
CBS4's Gloria Neal followed Sarah and Lisa throughout the year-long ordeal, from Lisa having to go on dialysis and finding a donor to the mixed emotions of Sarah — the donor — and how they both feel today (2-months post transplant). The lives of both women have been changed forever.

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) - For Serena Williams, the low point came in early 2011, when she spent hours laying around her home, overwhelmed by a depressing series of health scares that sent her to the hospital repeatedly and kept her away from tennis for 10 months.
HOUSTON (AP) - Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson was arrested on a charge of resisting arrest after an early morning incident where police say it took three officers to subdue him.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - After going to two consecutive World Series without a title, the Texas Rangers are better than they ever have been.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - On a piece of metal scaffolding beyond the left-field wall at Kauffman Stadium, construction workers bolted together a table under a sweltering midday sun, the temperature tickling triple digits and sweat pouring off their brows.

PHOENIX (AP) - Restricted free agent guard Eric Gordon has agreed to a four-year deal with the Phoenix Suns worth about $58 million, a person familiar with the talks told The Associated Press. The New Orleans Hornets have the right to match the deal and keep Gordon.
BOULOGNE-SUR-MER, France (AP) - Once upon a time in Hollywood, the cry was "Run, Forrest, Run!" The message was not lost on Peter Sagan at the Tour de France.

- Wednesday, March 05, 2003
I was booked and placed under arrest in violation of North Carolina General Statute 90-95-A1—"a felony possession to manufacture, sell, or possess, with intent to sell a controlled substance."
I called my wife, Felice, and assured her that everything was OK. I told her to contact our attorneys. I also told her to contact my manager, Jeanette Taylor, and prepare her for a media frenzy. Felice was a little upset at first. But because of my innocence and the fact that she understood and knew my call, she was able to maintain a measure of peace that would be appreciated in times to come. I told her to take care of our six kids—Tredell, eight months, John-John, three, Aieisha, fifteen, Shannon, sixteen, Christopher, seventeen, and Justin, seventeen—and let them know that Daddy was OK and would see them in a few days.
The following Monday there was a bond hearing. My bond was set at $250,000. My attorneys and I were outraged. But then a still small voice spoke to me and said, "This is God's plan." On principle, I decided not to post bond and chose to stay in jail. In order to do this, I realized that I would need a few people on the outside to cover for me. As David and Jonathan had a blood covenant relationship in the Old Testament, I too had one with my friend and Christian brother Regi Miner. I told him that if anything were ever to happen to me, one of the things I would want him to do is take care of my family.
Regi and I had known each other for fourteen years. Through smart investments and concrete foundational business practices, the Lord blessed us and gave us a sense of stability to reinvest in our vision to serve Him in the inner city. I was allowed to call Regi and update him on everything that had occurred thus far. I asked him for his true opinion. He told me he understood my stand, but he was concerned first about my family, and secondly about my church. I assured him that his opinion was important to me and that was the reason I had called him. I knew if he gave me his word, he would do everything to keep it. We had a silent partner named Carla Reed, who had worked with us in the area of video production. She was a sharp, intelligent lady and a program director for a national black entertainment firm. Since we were in the middle of production on several projects, Regi suggested that I call Carla and get her opinion.
Carla had a different take on matters. She felt that my arrest was dumb and didn't make sense. I should pay the bail, get out of jail, and deal with it at a later date, she advised. I stayed on the phone with her for an hour. I absolutely could not alter her opinion. Still, she promised that she would take care of what she could and place everything else on hold until this situation was cleared.
I shared with Regi and Carla that I would ask Elder Ben Truesdale, a close friend and business partner, and my older brother, Alphonza Kee, to cover the church. There were a few other associate ministers who would assist them in any way necessary.
Ben was one of the chief negotiators for the church and my ministry's corporate business affairs. I knew he was somebody I could trust to keep things in order.
Then there was my brother Alphonza. He was not your everyday preacher, but he had successfully run a program in our church called One Step. The One Step program was designed to compensate for some of the shortcomings of our nation's twelve-step programs. I found that people who had come out of twelve-step programs had received an abundance of facts and information but lacked a true sense of God's power or authority to bring healing to their lives. I knew that the only power strong enough to help a person overcome an addiction to cocaine was Jesus Christ. I didn't know this by reading materials, pamphlets, or watching New Jack City. I knew it be experience and through my own testimony. From cocaine to prescription tranquilizers, I had been locked in bondage and needed a way out. I have been clean for twenty years now, and I know in my heart that the only true deliverance comes in having a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Watch Video Of Duff McKagan's First Full Concert With Guns N' Roses Since 1997
Duff McKagan played a full-length concert with Guns N' Roses for the first time in 17 years in Buenos Aires.
Duff McKagan played a full-length concert with Guns N' Roses for the first time in 17 years in Buenos Aires.
One of the hottest tickets of the year is the upcoming Guns N' Roses 'An Evening of Destruction. No Trickery' residency at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas this spring. Loudwire and our partner site Ultimate Classic Rock wants you to be there and we're teaming with AEG Live to give you that opportunity.
Is legendary bassist Duff McKagan about to reunite with Guns N' Roses?!? There are many signs that point to at least a limited live reunion between McKagan and the current incarnation of GN'R.
Are you ready for 'The Birdcage'? A number of rockers from name bands are teaming up for a unique project that will bring the world of video games and music together.
Not to be outdone by Metallica, Guns N' Roses have announced more details regarding their very own previously announced 3D concert movie.
Two legendary rockers will get their due at the 2014 Revolver Golden Gods Awards as Axl Rose will receive the Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement Award and Joan Jett has been chosen to receive the Golden God Award this year's event. Both musicians will also be part of a solid performance lineup that also includes leading nominee Korn.
Motley Crue's 'The Dirt' will be heading to the big screen soon, and there have been films chronicling the lives of rock bands over the years, but former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash says he's not interested in ever seeing a biopic of the early years of GN'R ever gracing the silver screen.
"They … Are … Back!" And that essentially spells out what you need to know about Guns N' Roses and their plans for a second Las Vegas residency. Those three words ring heavy at the beginning of their new trailer for the 'No Trickery! An Evening of Destruction' run of dates.
Last month, a Las Vegas police captain lost his job after it was revealed that he had arranged for a romantic helicopter ride to help Guns N' Roses guitarist DJ Ashba propose to his girlfriend. For the first time since the incident, Ashba spoke to the media about the controversy.
After teasing fans with clues and billboards throughout the past few weeks, Guns N' Roses have confirmed that they will indeed perform a second residency at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas in 2014. Axl Rose and company's latest Sin City invasion will take place over nine shows running in late May and early June.
Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose has made headlines in recent weeks for his humorous takes via social networking to a pair of controversies - the Red Hot Chili Peppers Super Bowl performance and the killing of a baby male giraffe in Copenhagen. However, it's the latter subject matter that still puzzles Rose and has moved him to write again, albeit in a more serious tone this time.
Looks like Guns N' Roses are headed back to Las Vegas for another residency. The band, along with the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Vegas have been teasing an upcoming event set for Spring 2014, even giving fans the opportunity to hear the big news before anyone else by texting a special number.

New York Knicks center Tyson Chandler has his sights focused on the Defensive Player of the Year award. Chandler has been working towards that honor since the start of the season and thinks he deserves to win the award.
Chandler is never one to praise himself over the team, but the center admitted to working for the accolade and the coaching staff believes he should be receiving the trophy at the end of the season.
"It would mean an awful lot to me,'' Chandler said, New York Post. "That was one of my goals coming into the season. I felt I put myself right in the thick of things for consideration. I personally feel like I deserve it. It would be a great honor.''
Chandler has been a defensive anchor for the Knicks this season and the front office brought him to the team for that exact reason. He helped the Mavericks close out the Miami Heat in the Finals and his presence in the locker-room was irreplaceable. If Chandler has stayed in Dallas, there is no way the Knicks would be looking strong heading into the playoffs.

The people and the internet. Video cameras and all kinds of software. Youtube. Views. Comments. Besides looking at the actual videos on youtube…comments are also good for viewing pleasure. The comment section often times outshines the actual video itself. One video can elicit such emotion, opinion and even spark debates. I'm pretty sure the person who uploaded the video would not even know how popular it would be, or how people would react to it. I swear, the internet is amazing. People share ideas and opposing views.Then again… there are comments of narrow one sided spiels, derogatory language, racial slurs, and opinions that are trying to be passed off as fact, enforcing stereotypes and etc. So called intellectual persons, who are suppose to be all knowing, when in fact, they don't know what's outside of their own neighborhood.
The most recent youtube celeb is Antoine Dodson, after doing a news interview about the attempted rape of his sister, some white folks thought it would be cool to make a song out of it. This makes me feel some type of way. Using the infamous autotune. Look I HATE WHY the interview was done in the first place but I cannot lie, that song is catchy just like pretty boy swag and waffle house song. YET NO one seems to say anything about these white musicians making light of a serious situation. pPeople his sister could have gotten raped… I kind of feel like these people kind of exploited the situation…ANYWAYS that's another story.
Hide ya race? This leads me to my next point. The Blue and Gold Marching Machine at my wonderful alma mater North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (AGGIE PRIDE) preformed the piece and someone uploaded it to youtube. I browsed the comments and many of them song praises of how awesome the band was but sprinkled in there was "where are the white people" "why are there only black people there"…among more negative things said. They made it seem as if white's were not allowed in the band room…ironic statement to me. White people are not HIDING, they are not banned, barred or denied entry into this band program/school like blacks were once… I guess if I was white I wouldn't know what an HBCU was. I even saw a few comments from people outside of the US and they still think we have segregation issues based off of this one video (not far from the the truth though). But what upset me the MOST is that people put so much emphasis on the classroom full of black students. No one knows WHY HBCUs like A&T even exist, wait let me rephrase, I don't think they care why they exist. In addition, I even saw one comment from a black woman who said that A&T playing this song was one of the few reasons why she would not send her children to an HBCU. Seriously? Let me digress before I dissect that mentality…
Why can't we all just enjoy the band play this ridiculous song? I felt like everyone should at least have had some general idea of what an HBCU is. Clearly I was mistaken. It upset me that people had no idea WHY this institution was created in the first place. IT REALLY pissed me off when people played that reverse racism role. Simply put: HBCUs are responsible for producing some of the most important and influential minorities in a time when whites did not want non whites to receive higher education. Racism itself created these institutions…I guess you could say HBCUs are like roses that grow from concrete. And the simple fact that these people say that the band/school is racist…should really take a closer look at US History. So enjoy the youtube vids and open up your mind. Black history is American history
Yeah I went from hide ya wife hide ya kids to racism…eh. It's my blog.
Sitting in the back seat of Delilah (for yall who don't know that's my car) I randomly thought about how good it felt NOT to drive. I'm so use to my boyfriends driving me. I drove so little that one of my friends didn't even know I had a license. Now I drive TOO much. Not to mention I have a lot of NON driving friends. Sigh… I miss having a boyfriend sometimes. Why can't I just find a decent person to date….and EPIPHANY * cue chrisette michele epiphany instrumental* : I JUST realized I'm picky. That's a good thing right? Maybe? I was in denial. A former crush kept insisting that I just wanted a boyfriend. And I only liked him at the time because I just wanted to be wifed up. As if I didn't have standards and I was some desperate spinster. Not true I actually liked this person..then I thought about it. I could've had a boyfriend but something was always wrong. Something was ALWAYS wrong. I have had about 3 real potential boos fitting most of the categories I look for BUT they epically failed at the two that mean a lot to me. Good conversation and actually DATING! Haha. Some men don't know how to date ME. I'm not sure how to tell a nigga he fuckin up. I don't think I should have to. Things I hate: I HATE him NOT taking me out, or you STAND ME UP. We don't go to parks, movies, dinner, museums etc. AND If we do go out YOU DONT PAY FOR MY FOOD OR MOVIE TICKET for at least the first 2 or 3 dates, that's automatic disqualification. Hard to rebound from that. Also talking about sex TOO SOON will have you cut off. Lack of conversation and humor will lead to slow responses to texts,bbms or no reply at all. I have yet to meet a man who took me out, paid for it, great convo, good sense of humor and who would like to exclusively date ME… And I'm sure all women have this thought "well maybe my standards are too high" Women we need to stop with this mentality. Who we date is kind of a reflection of us…I wish some of yall would have thought twice before you got in a relationship with that sorry ass nigga. He won't shit, you think you can change him and now you aint shit right along with him. Its a real cycle that should end. Some of us are desperate as hell and just wanna have a man…and suffer with him. I'd rather be bitter by myself than bitter, angry, stressed, crazy and dealing with another person's baggage of manure. Anyways WHY NOT BE PICKY in every aspect of our lives. No one should ever settle, or get too comfortable with anything…If you can impress me the first few times I'd be a fool to stick around… So yeah I'm picky. I deserve to be. I admitted it. Next topic: my mom wants grandchirren
I didn't know him but I wrote this after the sad news. I was angry.

Yesterday another person was shot.
When will it end.
*somethings may be misspelled but i had to wrtie*
I went to support A&T at the Honda Battle of the Bands and had a blast. After the showcase was over my friends and I got onto the MARTA. When we got onto the train an older black man was talking about the younger generation of black people. He called us stupid and ignorant. One thing he said that stuck out was how we kill each other. Finally one man decided to speak up for everyone else on the train and explain to him that not all black people are that way. Most of the people on that train were probably students of the HBCU's that were showcased. Ironically the next day I would wake up to the news that one of our own Aggies had been shot and was pronounced dead. We do kill ourselves. The man on the subway may have been drunk but he had some sense…unfortuantely we have to look at ourselves deeply and try not to get mad when people say things to us that may be true.
Back in the day people died for us to have rights and be treated equally. Our people died for a real coause. Our ancestors were locked up because they wanted thier children to be treated with respect and dignity, but most importantly they wanted to be treated like human beings.
Several days after the so called DREAM and niggas still killing. The people in the street are happy we have a black president but their self esteem and their attitude tellls them that they could never be what Barack Obama is. So they keep shooting. Obama becoming president is a huge step but its not big enough to enlighten or motivate some of the thugs. NOW NIGGAS do the kililng because they get embarrased, or because they get in an arguement. PUSSY NIGGAS have power when they have a gun. The shit is so impersonal and so distant. Niggas kill because they got thier feelings hurt. How can this stop? What is with people being followed to their house and getting shot? Dare I say PUSSY NIGGAS. Why cant people just have altercations and leave it alone with out resorting to KILLING someone. Its wise not even to fight anymore, because NIGGAS are sore losers. There are no one on one fights, people get jumped, and people get shot.
Also too many people in our communites are dying because we are scared to die ourselves, but is a sacrafice that needs to be done. If you dont tell then this will happen all over again, and this time YOU could be the victim gunned down by the same person. This shit has infected us and its just going to be past down to the next generation. Im mad and irritated. I wish i could write down all of my feelings but I cant do it. The behavior of our black males facinates me. I wish i could interview most of these people and ask them how the feel, what compelled them to do this, would they do it again, are they remorseful etc.
I really want to know are we a product of a dream? Are the black people really motivated by the new commander and chief? How can it change?
Only one half of the dream has came true but one man cannot save us unless he is Jesus Christ and God himself. I know we as a people are better than this. We have made it so far, but I honestly feel that this violence in our communities is getting out of hand. Can anyone believe there was a time when black people were united? (we did see a lot of unity on 1-20-2009 but it should NOT stop there).
Jealousy, Anger leads to Murder…(random thought)
What will it take for us to help each other and not hurt each other….
Until the black men stop commiting senseless acts of violence against each other i'd say the dream is deferred…

Back from the dead. Submit your confessions!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Some of my gay friends were actually offended by TB near the end. A story that used to represent them actually made them feel worse about themselves. In the end Sookie couldn't have Bill's kids so he kills himself instead of even mentioning other ways of having children. It made them feel like worthless shit tbh
That was a TERRIBLE ending. I get the whole Bill wanting to set Sookie free thing but why did he still make her help him die? He couldn't have let the sun come up or something? That was a horrible thing to do to somebody and he was my favorite character from the start. Eric and Pam became assholes at the end and we spent so much time on some random Bridgette airhead. Way to destroy the show for me. Glorifying suicide and disregarding alternate ways of having children is always a plus too.
I was a little disappointed with the finale, not because I didn't like the ending but because all the articles I read and all the teasers I'd watched made it seem like it was going to be way more intense than it actually was. I wish there had been closure for Eric and Sookie and that we also knew a little more about the man who Sookie married since it was so important to Bill that she had that in her life.
I know a lot of people were angry with the Series Finale but I personally thought it was a great ending. Almost everyone got what it was they really desperately wanted throughout the show. Sookie has a family, Bill is with his wife and family, Jason is a father to a load of kids, Jessica is married to Hoyt, Lafayette is in a relationship with James, Holly and Andy are married, Arlene is happy with Keith, And Pam and Eric are filthy rich and together. Which is all I wanted for them at the start.
