"Despite its long history of bad governments, Argentina still has much going for it. The world needs its farmers, and tourists like its culture. But it needs freer trade, fiscal responsibility and greater respect for the rule of law."
Indeed there is much going for it, but it has to change from the top down. An Argentine president once said "I am not so worried about those outside that want to buy us as those inside that want to sell us". The current administration definately has its flaws, but initially NK took the bull by its horns that no one else wanted to take or could take. Now hubris has set in and fear and arrogance prevail. Free trade, as mentioned by the writer of the article can mean many things. There is a very corsetted free trade in the developed world. UK and US for starters. So the pan is calling the kettle black here! Lets not deceive ourselves or others.
Argentina needs solid honest government and reliable administration. It needs order from the government and needs the right balance or public and private sectors. Above all it needs clear rules that are respected and a judicial system that works well. I live in southern Mendoza, am a farmer and have also lived 20 years in the UK so I have a view that perhaps few have. Argentina is a beautiful place with lovely people that want the respect and not patronizing europeans coming to direct them. They want partners and not bosses. So far neither US or EU countries have offered this. Argentines as north americans and europeans are just beginning to feel, are fed up to the back teeth of bankers and financiers and their pied piper calls that only lead to slavery and oblivion. In this respect Argentina is a step ahead!
Times are changing and the world power axis is changing rapidly. The anglo world has had its time and will inevitably dry up. However there is much to learn from each other if the different cultures are open to each other. The warmongering classes have to be marginalized and so are those that want to concentrate power. A whole new world is starting before our own eyes. Lets not be clumsy or stupid as what goes around comes around.
Ok Diego,
As this discussion can goes on and on forever enjoy this from Argentina:

UNICEF stats measure "relative poverty", which is a measure of inequality, not of absolute poverty. Once again, if every child in Spain had 10 times more income starting tomorrow, relative-poverty measures would stay still. Please read UNICEF's complete report: http://www.unicef.es/contenidos/276/REPORT6-E-2005.pdf .
Spanish-born gypsies were mostly integrated in the 80s and 90s through social housing. They were basically given flats for free. As a consequence, now you can't tell most Spanish gypsies and non-gypsies apart.
Now, you may find a residual Spanish-gypsy component in infra-housing; but the fact is most of it comes from newly-immigrated Romanian gypsies and, in some cases, newly-immigrated Maroccans.
In one of your linked videos you show the (partly Portuguese-origin) gypsy town of El Vacíe. All of its children are schooled, and every family will get a flat for free in the next months: http://www.diariodesevilla.es/article/sevilla/399981/realojo/las/familia... . I can't think of a better show of solidarity.
When I talk about a minority of new immigrants lacking housing, I don't intend to say that is not our problem. I'm just pointing out they have been living here for less than 5 years, and solutions take their time. But solutions they'll get.
Nobody struggles to eat in Spain. If they are hungry, they can get food for free (delivered at home!) by social groups or they may go to social canteens and eat for free. Anyway, they are not poor at all; they just prefer to live there. "El Vacíe" has a problem of crime, not of poverty; there are lots of luxury cars around there. Otherwise, why would someone own a BMW and live there?
Compare this to Argentina, where 6 little children starve to death every day. Where unemployed get no help from the state. Where employed get less than unemployed in Spain, even accounting for price-level differences. Where homelessness is not fought against. Etc.
According with UNICEF statistics 1 over 4 children is in risk of extreme poverty in Spain.

"Even those newly-immigrated Romanian gypsies"
No Sir, I was in Spain and those hypsies as you say and don't want to recognize and count are Spanish.
Gypsies in Argentina http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GU-w1KRec0&feature=related
Seem to be much better than in Spain
So if Argentina takes out from its statistics newly immigrants from neighboring countries as your newspaper was showing on its notes. The level of poverty in Argentina would be far, far, far less than in many countries in Europe.
70% of the poor living in Villas Miserias shantytowns for example the famous villa 31 in Argentina are undocumented (Illegal immigrants) and just from one single country and the rest from others countries and only the 10% from Poor Argentineans provinces, etc, etc.
Should not be counted according with you?
So to make a wonderful statistic like Eurostats should be counted only 1 over 100 so poverty in Argentina would be just a fantastic figure of 2.5%.
Its not fab (oh sorry Fabulous means for a non Brit Speakers else then you complain about my English) the way Eurostats eliminates poverty in Europe?
So stop to make differences between ethnic groups or immigrants to prove your point.
And for your 400 Euros income in Spain I remember you that this is nothing. And yes this is what the poor gets or you buy Coffees Like Mr. Zapatero at 0.80 when in every bar in Spain cost 1.4 Euros?
You should not make comparisons like that because in Argentina you would buy more things with $400 (pesos local currency) than what you can buy in Spain with 400 Euros.
There is something called PPP (Parity Purchasing Power) I hope you know what is that.
So your 400 Euros have less purchasing power than the Argentinean Peso (locally) (so or your currency is over valuated or the Arg. Peso is very under valuated). Especially for Food, Housing, etc, etc, etc.
Revaluate the Argentinean Peso to the levels of 2001 and you will see that Spain only over pass its GDP by 200billions Dollars.
So you will be more close to the 3er world or the or the 3er world is much closer of what you think my friend.
Just think, a little bit do it is a good exercise.
Your own INE says that this income (400 Euros) is the income of people homeless and 51% of this people are Spanish not Immigrants.
Falling to poverty, this is the wonderful first class social service you have in Spain.
Doc from BBC about your construction sector
You have here a very interesting doc about the structural problem of poverty in Spain.
People 25 years living in poverty
Quality of living? Where?
I don't understand statistics?, come one sir yes I do and I can read far more from just the numbers.
Specially from some that want to hide the reality like Eurostats.
And yes in Spain there are people struggling to eat every day.
Spain even tough was growing the wealth seems to go to another place as happened in Argentina in the '90.
Can you see how similar to your cousins you are?
This would be a good explanation to your economics problems and quite convenient too.
there is no abject poverty in Spain ("poverty" as in "being hungry"). You just won't find it. Most unemployed people get around 1,000 euros monthly, twice what a highly-skilled worker (e.g. an IT worker) gets in Argentina.
Long-term unemployed in difficult situations receive a monthly payment of 400 euros and social housing. Even those newly-immigrated Romanian gypsies you can see at the video you posted receive social housing at newly-built flats (a large flat for each two-parent family); then they sell it illegally for 200,000 euros and go for infra-housing again. (That's why it's not unusual to see BMWs parked in front of those infra-houses).
Anybody can eat for free, have free housing and other basic amenities (shower), etc. if they so want, at social institutions (mostly paid for through taxes). If somebody prefers to be homeless for the "freedom", we can't forbid it.
The video you posted is extremely misleading; it was done by students who can't read stats any better than you (e.g. they don't know the meaning of "relative poverty", just like you), and some photos were obviously taken in other countries.
Every child gets educated in Spain; in fact, if you don't send your child to school any given year, you may end up in jail. Schooling is compulsory up to age 16.
So no, I am sorry, I can't see here the kind of poverty you can find in developing countries (such as Argentina), where you can find most employed (!) people living off less than 400 euros monthly, whole areas where analphabetism and endemic disease are huge problems and, worst of all, 6 little children starving to death every day.
What do you think about children starving to death in Argentina? What about Argentinian unemployed not getting any help from the state? What about the lack of social housing in Argentina? Etc. etc. etc.
I understand Argentina can't pay for the kind of welfare state European nations have, but that's precisely why economic growth is so important, why Argentina urgently needs free trade, FDI, reduced current spending, investment in infrastructure and competition. (Politically speaking, higher taxation and a fairer wealth distribution would help, too).
Well, well, well...
Seems a good partnership has emerged between Mr. Pugliese and Mr. Mýndez .
Also you seems to be against wealthy people which invest in your respective countries.
Am I right?
What is leading me to a confuse profile about you (both) guys.
Pugliese Complains for the nationalization of the pension funds in the hands of J.P. Morgan.
But is against me because I'm wealthy and a nasty capitalist?
And Mr. Diego Myndez now seems to be so concern about the poverty in Argentina that cannot see poverty in his own country (Spain). Oh! My God, seems that poverty only is an exclusive thing of the Argentinean.
Who do you think you are, speaking with? A Moron?
The level of poverty, insecurity, etc, etc, etc. in Argentina is not much worst than any other developed country in the world and not start to make comparisons with countries with 4.5 million inhabitants because they are irrelevant here. Norway, Switzerland, etc, etc
Even US can be the 3er world compare with them because they even have population.
I f you think Mr. Pugliese that Europe is much better, I just wonder why are you not there?
Are you?
So you instead of advocate for The J.P. Morgan Group that certainly don not need your help at all.
Try to do something valuable for your country instead of complain and make political statements like you are the new candidate to the senate or represent "The people".
Well Mr. Pugliese you don't, you like me in this forum only represent yourself and for the type of your comment the J.P Morgan group too.
And I made so clear from the beginning of this discussion that I'm European as Mr. Diego so your intervention as and Argentinean being touched by my comments is out of place here.
An European that of course knows very well Europe and have been living in most cities in Europe.
So you only wanted to pass your political and JP Morgan advise here, that was all.
It's quite silly that you are much concern about JP Morgan and Spain.
For you Diego
Remember that this discussion start from your arrogant comments toward Argentina and you where so unlucky to try to lecture another European arrogant like you but living in Argentina.
As you find very hard to see the poverty in your own country let me show you please.
Es una pena la mala fama que muchos Argentinos se han ganado y no en vano en Europa especialemnte en Espana. Argentina podria ser una gran nacion pero eso no sucedera hasta que no aprendamos a ser mas humildes, honestos, respetuosos y solidarios.
Los comentarios degradantes e irrespetueosos de "bloxar" hacia el pueblo Espanol a quien le debo un gran respeto, me generan verguenza agena. Solo espero que los lectores de esta publicacion de alcance global no tomen los comentarios de este lector como pensamientos comunes a todo ciudadano Argentino.
Fabrizio Pugliese,
thank you. To be honest, I was missing some good-hearted Argentinians joining the debate. You made me regain my hope.
To Diego -
I feel once more disappointed by the comments made by Bloxar. He needs to understand that while he dinners in Puerto Madero and enjoys managing his venture, there are 5 kids waiting outside the restaurant begging for money. That is what I am against, because if you had a bit less they could have a lot more. Will Argentina ever be able to revert this problem with citizens who think the way you do?
After reading some of the comments made by "bloxer" I have also felt that I have to intervene as I find them somewhat offensive to other readers.
Being Argentinean I believe that people with your mentality, close mildness, selfishness, and vulgarity are the ones that contribute to make our country what it is now.
Instead of talking so much about how much better than others you are, and how happy you are living in BA (a city with a high standard of living as per your previous comment), I believe you should look around yourself and take into consideration issues such as poverty, criminality, corruption, deficient health care system, unemployment, etc .
I believe that a society has to have its base in equality and that is something inexistent in Argentina where only a few have the "benefit" of living with dignity. Just take "your" head out of the box and look at what the government has done with the pension funds some months ago. Also think about the fact that the politicians who will be elected and will govern you have made their electoral campaigns at TV show "Gran Cunado", isn't it sad?
You have no right to make such derogative statements about Europeans; instead, you should learn many things from them. For example in Norway they have banned TV political campaigns as these give those with more funds and contacts an advantage over new political movements. When little things like these (that say a lot about a country, its people and its values) happen in Argentina, only then you can compare our country with Europe.
"If Europe would be a so wonderful place to have my company do you think that I would be here in Argentina?"
Yes, I think you and your company should definitely stay in Argentina.
Take a look of Puerto Madero Neighborhood In BS. As and you'll see how poor the Argies are and how the crisis has affected them in the construction sector, so they are crazies and are continuing building.
Then see Madrid or Madriz and come back.
So take for granted what The Economist says and you will discover one day that Bolivia over pass Spain and you never knew when that happened.
of course, those expats live off their own (dollar) wealth, not Argentinian salaries. Having better public healthcare than the US is easy, since the US has a Third-Wordly system with over 40 million uninsured; private healthcare in Argentina may well provide a better value for your money, but only if your money is in dollars/euros (as those same expats say in their comments, if not in your excerpts).
International comparisons don't lie. Spain was ranked 7th (it really is 3rd after France and Italy, since the other 4 countries are micro-states); the USA was ranked 37th and Argentina 75th.
Now I never said you couldn't have world-class healthcare, luxury cars and dining in Argentina if you have US/European income levels. Aber natuerlich! The problem is Argentina's income level is 6,000 dollars compared to Spain's 30,000 dollars or US' 45,000 dollars.
What I want is for ordinary Argentinians to be able to afford world-class healthcare, Audis and BMWs and make trips around the world in 4/5-star hotels, as working-class Europeans can afford. What I want is no hungry Argentinian children begging for food at the doors of the very fine restaurants in Buenos Aires you boast about (http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2009/01/04/cronicasdesdelatinoamerica/1231...), and you seem not to notice.
@ Diego
Well I will answer you with just opinions from Americans and Europeans expats living in Buenos Aires:
And I will highlight this, as it was the start of this debate:
"The health care is top notch, equivalent to the U.S. and with better private health care in my opinion. Much more affordable as well..."
It is a quite a cosmopolitan city. Imagine, as they say, Paris in South America. The architecture is varied from modern to old Parisian and Italianate and colonial..."
"Argentina's largest metropolis, at over 13 million Porteños (the nickname given to inhabitants of Buenos Aires), is magnetic and is known to capture the hearts of visitors. The greater population of Buenos Aires is a mixture of Italian, German, and Spaniard decent—which makes it a true European culture within Latin America. Deby Novitz, a tango dancer from the United States, initially traveled to Buenos Aires to enjoy its tango dance halls"
"Buenos Aires is a city that offers a high quality of life at a discounted price in comparison to the United States, Europe or England. It is home to non-stop action, first-world infrastructure, and high living standards.
The gourmet restaurants, cultural events, and hundreds of acres of parks create an atmosphere that is hard to find elsewhere in the world. For Enda, his life has taken a turn for the better, "My life in Buenos Aires is better than I had expected. I'm originally from Europe and this city has a European feel to it, which made the transition easier. The public transportation and safety was much better than I had anticipated as well...."
"There is a good sense of work/life balance here and people place a huge importance on spending time with family and friends, much more than I've observed in Europe or the U.S.A."?
The Economist should change its name to "The IT entrepreneur", since everyone here seems to be just that.
How is the eco-system there for IT entrepreneurs? Can you get financing easily? Angel investors? Venture capital funds specialized on IT? IT start-ups on the stock market?
(Lack of) Money is apparently not a problem for you; but you should understand it IS for most Argentinians. If I offered your best developers 40,000 euros yearly to work in Madrid, do you think they would stay in BA for less than 8,000 euros yearly? Buenos Aires, according to international stats, is twice as cheap as Madrid; but your developers' purchasing power is still less than half what I offer, correcting for price variations.
This is not imaginary stuff; this has been happening for several years now, and that's the reason why Spain (and Ireland, etc.) exports 15+ times more IT than Argentina, despite it paying far more to its developers.
And yes, you are right. We Europeans think China is a big bubble; if you do the math, China's economy equals 2 Spains' economy, in nominal terms. Even looking at its military, China has never built a aircraft carrier. Superpower, you say?
Greeting to Buenos Aires.
Yes I can work as you say whatever a want but I own my own company in Argentina.
So for me European salaries are not interesting at all. I do not work for others I hire people, I am an entrepreneur.
Do you understand the difference of point of view? I invest I don't look for a job.
The discussion was about standards of living and quality of the engineers in Argentina and other parts of the world.
And the standard of living is not how much you earn alone else what you can buy with that. Capisci ragazzo?
If Europe would be a so wonderful place to have my company do you think that I would be here in Argentina?
Do you always thinking about me as someone looking for a job?
Can you see how wrong you are?
Here in Argentina I get high quality developers, smarts and faster, really willing to work for a salary of 4K 5k pesos. USD 900 USD1000 at month.
Why I would be hiring programmers abroad for 70,000 Euros?
If I can have them here much much cheaper and more skilled.
And you wanted to lectured me about free market????? And free capitalism????
This provides me a good advantage over others to sale our products cheaper so everyone is happy.
Employees, my customers (as they get much value form money) and of course me, and my bank too.
And believe me Buenos Aires to live, is just wonderful and is the city that never sleep.
Full of theaters, bars, different people, multicultural open mind cosmopolitan, etc, etc, etc. a lot of good things.
With the exemption of some politicians and neocons that criticize the country from abroad all the time in The Economist the rest if excellent.
Comparing Buenos Aires with Europe for example would be like compare living in Milan in winter and working in the construction with a summer in Ibiza working in the fashion sector hiring models.
What do you prefer?
Have a tour to the city, to see how the poor Argies live in the 3er world as many ignorant in European think.
Some Europeans are a shame to others Europeans please Europe is not the belly of the world anymore.
I see some European talking about China for example in a so disgusting way that make me feel ashame to be European.
Please take your head out of the box.
China is already a Super power and that will not change because you say no or ignore them late you recognize your mistake more out of the world you are.
You have not Idea the influence that European had lost in so many countries like Argentina a country that always was a good friend of Europe because of this behaviour.
And yes before you complain about my writing a write behaviour because in Britain is like this like color is colour,and center is centre and subway is tube. Verstehen Sie?
I hope they don't kick our bottom and send back to there.
you're a smart guy. Crisis has just arrived to Argentina and you are already comparing between different countries to immigrate into.
Moreover, you are a EU national so you can work anywhere you want to. I highly recommend it to you, even if only for some years.
You can get Spanish salary information for different profiles in Infojobs Trends. It averages the salary companies offer at job ads in Infojobs, so real salaries (after negotiation) are a bit higher.
According to Infojobs Trends, the average developer in Spain gets 30.000 euros and the average "jefe de proyecto" (project manager) gets 40.000 euros.
If you want to compare to other countries, you can use Trovit (the largest ad search engine in Europe. Should I still say where it was developed?). Berlin is cheap, but it has huge poverty and crime problems; if you can speak German, try Munich instead, you'll get far more money and almost no crime (though a conservative environment).
If you don't and money is your priority no. 1, try Scandinavia. If you like sunlight and warm climate, tolerance and good food, and you don't mind getting 20% less, Spain is for you.

What makes Argentina a very competitive country in this field.
Someone is getting robbed and is not me.
Dear JonasBs_As
Don't argue with the Spanish is a waste of time.
I'm European like him and my nationality comes from a country much more developed and advanced than his.
And he is trying to lectured me because he thinks that I don't know Europe and his country, ha ha ha very funny.
That's all I have to say.
Vielen Dank and Tanti auguri per tutti.
From the European Sudaca,
Are Argentinians "Long the best-educated people in South America"? Why do people know so little about Uruguay? I'm Brazilian and have been many time in this friendly country and can say that Uruguay has always had a better social distribution than Argentina and much more educated population in the general level. Argentina has (or had) quantity; Uruguay has quality. I cherish both countries but never saw so many well-educated people together in South America as in Uruguay.
Jonas BsAs,
it was an Argentinian. Maybe he said "Son todos" or maybe not. And yes, I am pretty sure, since I worked with him for several months and had some clashes with him before.
I don't choose employees based on nationality, but on location. I don't mind if my Madrid employees were born in Argentina, Poland or Peru; or if my Lima employees come from the Madrid richest neighbourhood. But Madrid gets the high-quality work and Lima gets simple programming, because that's what works.
The day I can find star programmers in Lima or Buenos Aires as easily as I can do in Madrid, I'll start sending the high-quality work there. (That day, programmers' average salaries in Madrid and Lima/Buenos Aires will have converged).

(202) 512-6253
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) information technology (IT) program, focusing on VA's efforts to: (1) improve its process for selecting, controlling, and evaluating IT investments; (2) fill the chief information officer (CIO) position; (3) develop an overall strategy for reengineering its business processes; (4) complete a departmentwide integrated systems architecture; (5) track its IT expenditures; (6) implement the Veterans Health Administration's (VHA) Decision Support System and the Veterans Benefits Administration's (VBA) compensation and pension replacement project; and (7) improve the department's computer security.
GAO noted that: (1) overall, VA's IT investment decision-making process has improved, and it has started to implement recommendations GAO enumerated in May and August of this year; (2) further, VA is obtaining a full-time CIO now that the Administration has identified a candidate for the position; (3) however, the department no longer plans to develop an overall strategy for reengineering its business process to effectively function as "One VA," nor has it defined the integrated IT architecture needed to efficiently acquire and utilize information systems across VA; (4) in addition, VA lacks a uniform mechanism that readily tracks IT expenditures; (5) instead, VA's different offices use various mechanisms for tracking IT expenditures; (6) VHA's Decision Support System (DSS) and VBA's compensation and pension replacement project continue to face challenges; (7) as demonstrated in a survey to all Veterans Integrated Service Networks and medical centers directors, DSS is not being fully utilized; (8) in addition, while VBA plans to pilot test portions of its compensation and pension replacement system in January 2001, other key issues need to be addressed before the system can be fully implemented; (9) for example, VBA does not have a plan or schedule for converting data from the old system to the new system and exchanging data between the new system and other systems; (10) regarding computer security, VA has begun to address weaknesses identified by GAO and its Office of Inspector General; and (11) until it develops and implements a comprehensive, coordinated security management program, VA will have limited assurance that financial information and sensitive medical records are adequately protected from misuse, unauthorized disclosure, and destruction.

Exposure to clients which can lead to additional employment opportunities.
Rigid in reviews.
A lot of administrative stuff that at times feels suffocating.

Very little career progression, pay is very poor, bonuses insulting, often have unsociable hours which make a social life practically nonexistentAdvice to ManagementAdvice
Rethink the way you treat graduate trainees, it doesn't pay to provide very little chance to develop skills. Encourage a greater level of delegation and stop those seeking promotions from hoarding work. Pay in line with your competitors, or you will lose lots of staffDoesn't RecommendNo opinion of CEO

Has Miley Cyrus found love down in New Orleans? The 18-year-old pop star, who just finished shooting the movie So Undercover on location in Louisiana, seems to be getting close to costar Joshua Bowman. A guest at the wrap party told E! that the two actors have been "inseparable." So who is this guy, exactly?
Bowman, 22, is a 6-foot-tall former rugby player who hails from Berkshire, England. Although he studied drama in New York City, he's worked mainly in the U.K. until now. Check out this fan video of Bowman on the BBC medical series Holby City!
Prior to Miley, Bowman was already known for his celebrity schmoozing. In 2009, the paparazzi caught him on vacation with Amy Winehouse in St. Lucia. When the press approached him, he was basically a gentleman about it.
"She's just a cool girl, very nice, and we're just very friendly... I can't say much more than that," Bowman told the papers. The actor added that he would "rather get my name out there because of my acting rather than who I'm being photographed with." Sorry, Josh -- it's just that you keep dating famous people!
Although Cyrus and Bowman spent the past three months together working on So Undercover (in which Miley plays an investigator who infiltrates a sorority), it remains to be seen if the romance will continue long-distance. For now, Cyrus is in L.A. without him -- but if So Undercover makes him a breakout star, maybe he'll want to move to Hollywood, too.
What do you think of Miley's new guy? Chime in below!

For something billed as mostly "symbolic", the subject seems to be generating some heated, last-minute debate. On October 13, UK parliament votes on whether to call on government to recognize the state of Palestine. It isn't a binding vote, but calls for Britain to join the 134 nations that already bilaterally recognize Palestine - Sweden being the most recent of these to do so, last week. It also consolidates the UN recognition of Palestine in 2012.

West Allis - West Allis police now can ban repeat troublemakers from all city parks for up to a year, under a new ordinance the Common Council recently approved.
Although Liberty Heights Park, 1540 S. 62nd St., where neighbors petitioned the city to do something about the park, wasn't the focus for the new ordinance, it was the trigger.
Police applaud the ability the ordinance gives them to ban repeat troublemakers because it gives them leverage to deal with problems, said interim Police Chief Charles Padgett. Before, police could only issue tickets or arrest people for offenses such as disorderly conduct or drug possession, he said.
Problems the parks experience are generally loud noise, use of profanity, disorderly conduct and drugs, he said.
People who are banned from parks and are caught there can be fined $500.
Alderman Michael Czaplewski, one of two aldermen in whose district Liberty Heights Park is located, said this will help the problems the park has had with people drinking.
"They're there all the time," he said.
Alderman Vince Vitale who also represents the area, said neighbors also have complained about kids playing basketball into the night and using profanity. Vitale said he is pleased that the new ordinance gives police more clout to get rid of such disturbances.
"This is more for people to be aware that if they want to be in the park, certain rules apply," Vitale said.

The truck i rented had mechanical problems. The service personnel at the location were quite courteous and friendly but quite very slow, and never answered the phone during repeated attempts to contact them about the problems with the truck. I think they could use additional staff at the location.
Everyone at the 7 mile east and Vandyke were nice and polite and I will go there again and recommend my friends and family.
Nothing, everything was great.
The employees were very nice and friendly
Worst truck ever driven
More workers so that you don't have to wait a long time when you return the trucks
Wonderful manager!
The problem was I had to go far to get one. because it was not any in my neighborhood available.
This location was severely understaffed, which led to very long wait times. Also, if you are not familiar with the area, it is a relatively dangerous neighborhood and no after-hours drop off option was available. The only bright side was that the two staff members I worked with were efficient and very polite--they were just overwhelmed with only two people working on busy weekend mornings.
Even though I didn't get the u haul back on time I apologize for my latest but the ass that call my phone was not professional at all you don't tell a customer it's going to be a problem if you don't have it back by 9am what the hell and for that reason I will never come back to u haul I will find another company to spend my money
I think that you should have more people out on the lot so customers don't have to wait so long to be checked out.And the ladies behind the counter should have a little personality I like to walk into a place of business and people smile and say hello .The ladies there they so dry they act like they don't like being there.
It took 1 hour and 30 minutes to return the truck. They were short staffed and should have made sure there were enough employees working on such a busy day (the beginning of the month) .
Didn't have right size truck for me
All Is Well!.
I have rented various items from this location and never had a problem but this time was the worst experience I ever had
Keep Up The Excellent service and Ill return!!!!
Great professional staff Great customer service
Everything was excellent....thanks
Very nice experience!
make sure trucks are up dated with oil change ,before allowing customers to be stuck with it
Need more staff for faster service.
Continue to have Judy greet your customers she is timely and efficient
continue to be as pleasant as employees already are....

Firestone Energy Solutions' new SunWave Daylighting System features a dome formation covered by more than 4,000 small prisms per square foot that refract direct sunlight while allowing high visible light transmittance. This technology keeps rooms bright enough to decrease the use of indoor electrical lighting up to 70 percent during daylight hours, says the company. SunWave also reduces glare by dispersing sunlight in such a way that retail products below the system should not be damaged. An insulated frame does not expose metal on the interior, which reduces the formation of condensation.

Matias takes another Portuguese title
This past weekend hosted the 1/10 Electric Portuguese Championship finale. XRAY's Miguel Matias headed into the final already claiming the 2wd buggy championship title, however, the 4wd class title was still up for grabs. The biggest threat to Matias in the championship, Bruno Coelho, was away at the IFMAR Onroad World Championships in Thailand. This made for a relatively easy win for Matias, gaining his second Portuguese 1/10 Championship title for 2014.

The VRC Worlds schedule is out, and what a month of exciting virtual r/c racing lies ahead of us. Six major events on 3 exciting tracks. Yes just 3 tracks because this year we have combined classes to race on the same track, just like what happens at real events. Last year, 2654 racers participated in the various classes including some really big names for the real r/c racing scene, like: Ronnefalk, Joor, Wollanka, Craig, Gillespie, Lutz. This year we are looking to more than double this number with the addition of the Spec classes, making the 2014 VRC Worlds by far the biggest r/c happening in the World! Don't be surprised to see more big names appearing in the 2014 VRC Worlds… Many have been invited!
The nitro buggies and short course trucks will be racing on… NAXOS 2014 IFMAR Worlds. This new track will be released 2 weeks before the VRC Worlds to give everyone an equal chance to practice for the VRC Worlds. The nitro buggies will race in the normal (counter clockwise) direction like at the real IFMAR Worlds, and will feature a grueling 60 minute Main final! The short course trucks will be racing in reversed direction and feature a 15 minute final, meaning at least 1 battery change during the final!

Tekin takes 4 at Outback 'Fall Brawl'
The 2014 Fall Brawl was hosted recently at Outback Raceway in Chico, California. Racers from all over the west coast travel to this event knowing that the racing will be tight, top notch, and the facility will be unquestionably in top notch shape due to no small part of Kevin Jelich and his band of merry track crew. This years layout had some very technical jump sections where the mod classes clearly had options that the stock cars simply couldn't attempt. This proved to make for a separation in lap times and viewing pleasure to those who attended. Over 270 entries would grace the event and make for some of the best racing in the region. More…

'Peanut' wins at NE Indoor Champs
The annual North East Indoor Championships was held recently at Maximus R/C in Maine. A list of New England's top drivers, as well as several west coast heavy hitters were in attendance. In the Mod 2wd Buggy class it would be Travis Amezcua who took his Team Durango buggy to TQ in qualifying, and the overall victory in the final. Ale Miller and Damian Lamy would follow him across the line for second and third. In the Mod 4wd Buggy class it was none other than Schumacher's Carson Wernimont who took the CAT victory over Amezcua in second, and once again Damian Lamy in third. More…
Boots & Cockerill win Offroad Wars
This weekend was the 2014 edition of the ever popular Maritime Off Road Wars. The event has created quite a following over the years with Ian Knight and his team running a great race program and laying, as ever, an excellent track. The track was very fast paced, with plenty of well profiled jumps to keep the drivers entertained and the racing close.
The format would see 2wd run on Saturday and 4wd the following day. 1 round of practice, 4 rounds of qualifying and then 3 leg A finals would decide the winner. Unusually it would be FTD qualifying, a novelty to most drivers now used to the round by round format currently used, but a welcome change that requires a slightly different approach to the day.

Southern sweep for Cole Ogden
The 2014 Southern Indoor Championship took place in Alabama, gathering many of the southern United States best drivers. REDS Racing driver Cole Ogden was in attendance and walked away the winner in BOTH Pro Nitro Buggy and Pro Nitro Truggy classes. Ogden's stunning performances added yet another weekend of victories to his growing resume of success.

Joe Pillars wins South Valley Invert
The South Valley Invert offroad race was held on November 8th, 2014 and presented by Cottage Grove R/C Raceway in Central Oregon. For those who haven't been to Cottage Grove Raceway, it is one of the hidden gems in the world of R/C tracks. The facility is top notch with easy-to-see bright yellow piping, smooth medium-high grip surface, and known to have some very wicked track layouts. The Invert format is also unique because of the reverse starting order on how you finish in A1. 3 rounds of qualifying determined the starting order of A1, but where you finish in A1 will determine where you start for A2, BUT in reverse order! After A2 is ran, the combined A1 and A2 finishing results will make the starting order for A3. This interesting format added a bit of spice to the recipe, making the racing more fun and challenging for everyone. More…
Ryan wins Indonesian Nats finale
This past weekend the world renowned C-Netic Track hosted the final round of the Indonesian National Series race on their superb layout. The event was run over three days with practice kicking off on the Friday. The track was open in a relaxed manner allowing everyone to gets lots of track time and get everything dialed in for the qualifying day. Being a molasses mixture track, the surface is very consistent providing equal conditions for each run making it easier to find and improve on setup. More…

Republicans Are Aching to Bring Roe vs. Wade Before SCOTUS
Democrats, it's time to bring the abortion issue before the U.S. Supreme Court. Let's let Republicans bring Roe vs Wade before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Republicans are aching for a fight. They've been pushing regressive anti- abortion legislature at the State Level across this country. They think they have their pieces in place.
They don't see the Knight, sitting in the corner waiting for them to take their hand from their Queen.Women, who still support Republicans, need to see that the men in their party are waging war on women.
When Roe vs. Wade is struck down by the ideologues that are pretending to be Justices, only the "Stepford Wives" will continue to support the Republican Party.
There will be such a backlash from women over this,the Republican Party will never recover.

We were very disappointed once we open this product from the box. It was flimsy and worst, it was slanted to one side, The uneven base make the shades look uneven no matter how you toggle it. We bought two together and both were the same, one slanted even more than the other. The leaves were sharp & one of them cut through my husband's hand. Definitely not child proof at all. The switch button was not on under the shade as I was told but along the wire, which makes it difficult to reach out when you just want to turn it off while laying on your bed, Regular energy saving light bulbs won't fit either (we broke one while trying to force it in). This was suppose to be an artistic addition to our bedroom but because it was so defected we'll have to return it. Sad. Creative idea but poor workmanship ruins it.
The picture does not show you how tilted the lamp is. I was very disappointed once I removed it from the box. Very poor quality. I would not recommend this lamp to any one. It is crooked and poor workmanship.

November 27, 2014
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - State officials say reports of cattle rustling are up across California as the price of beef continues to rise.
Greg Lawley, chief of the state's Bureau of Livestock Identification, said 1,317 head of cattle were stolen or reported missing last year. He told the Sacramento Bee that it's a 22 percent increase from pre-recession numbers.
The USDA reports that cattle prices hit record highs in 2011 and 2012. One steer can sell for $1,000 or more.
There are roughly 3 million head of cattle in California, most of them dairy cows. But 575,000 head roam the range, often with no more protection than a brand.
Last year the livestock identification bureau identified and returned cattle worth $1.4 million to the owners.
Officials say most thefts are inside jobs.

"Ocean acidification is a real threat, as is overfishing," he told the crowd. "New drilling must be forestalled while other invaluable, sustainable alternatives such as wind energy adopted. Today, I'm helping here by speaking and partnering with the ocean conservation group Oceana.
Together, we created Race for the Oceans, an open water swimming event that raises money and awareness toward ocean conservation. We also created Racefortheoceans.org, an online forum for swimmers and conservationists alike."

The BBC's programmes and services in the UK and around the world
Thursday 6 June 2013, 19:23
It's threatening to rain in Bradford the day I visit to attend the first rehearsals for BBC Three's Bollywood Carmen Live. It's the first time I've been to Bradford, so I end up taking the circuitous route via the National Media Museum, through what will be the 'set' for the open-air show – City Park – and on to the rehearsal venue Kala Sangam.
I'm a few minutes inside where the production team and cast have set up for the next ten days and I'm still no closer to getting a handle on what exactly Bollywood Carmen Live will be when it's broadcast. That's because this hour-long Bollywood style re-imagining of Bizet's enduring classic opera Carmen has been created both for an audience (present in City Park) and with television in mind too. There are no previews available and no clip sequences to get a flavour of the show. There are just press releases, calls for volunteers, trailers, and scheduling information. There's nothing tangible .. yet. Until then, on this first day of rehearsals, Bollywood Carmen Live is an idea in the heads of a director, musical director, choreographer, producers and Bradford City Council.
From a blogging perspective, that's a tough ask. How you do write about something you've no real frame of reference for? How can you write about something you're not going to get a chance to see a preview of? What is this thing? What will it be like?
Of course, it's only now – writing this post a week after I've returned from Bradford – that I appreciate where that eagerness to know what the live event will be like stems from and how it's a measure of where television has come in sixty or so years.
This past weekend, BBC Parliament played out the 1953 Coronation in its entirety. I was hooked by proceedings. I was swept away by Sylvia Peter's 1953 in-vision announcement, and totally entranced by the magic promised to approximately 20 million people by this new-fangled television. I knew it was 2013 on Sunday morning when I watched, but still my heart raced at the thought I might be watching with the same fresh eyes as someone who'd never watched television before in 1953. I was gripped. All day.
No-one knew then what a Coronation service was like. All they knew was that they were going to see one in front of their very eyes for the very first time.
True, Bollywood Carmen Live may not have the mystique of a monarch being crowned, but it does have similarities. Also, my eagerness to see what the live programme will be like before its broadcast – an impatience, in a way - shows how in the sixty intervening years since television's landmark moment, we've been treated to such a host of programming that the formats themselves have become a frame of reference for the viewer. Mix the formats up a bit, and then people like me struggle, feeling as though we need to know what something will be before we sit down to watch it. 'A leap of faith may possibly be what I need to employ here,' I think to myself.TV production stripped back to the essentials.
Oliver MacFarlane – Co-Executive Producer on the project – helps root the show into a frame of reference I can understand in 'BBC' terms. A piece of hour-long entertainment which draws inspiration from Bollywood and other Western pop and reworks an opera updated for the present-day, rooted in Bradford. This isn't a live-relay OB of an event (like the Last Night of the Proms or the Olympics) nor is it a strict adaptation of an opera for television.
Oliver explains the various divisions and departments who have been crucial in getting the idea off the ground – BBC North, Music Television and BBC Learning to name a few – and what's involved in getting something like this particular idea 'to air'. Such is his detail and succinctness, there are times when I feel as though I'm line-managing him and he's giving me his weekly update.
Had we spoken in London I probably would have glossed over the detail he offers me. But here in Bradford the production team is stripped of its usual BBC 'backdrop'. Access is relatively straightforward. There aren't banks of computer monitors exuding an air of authority about the place. It's just a handful of production staff and a few dozen dancers going about their business alongside other groups who are also renting out space in the building for their own activities. It's a big job, but Bollywood Carmen is co-habiting with the local community and trying not to disrupt things too much, it seems.The Bollywood Carmen costumer designer's view looking towards Bradford City Centre.
Similarly, it's intriguing to see television being made (or at least rehearsed), in a space other than a TV studio. Stripped of the familiar signs of BBC TV production – cameras, lighting rigs and signage – the television process is laid bare, perhaps even partly demystified. At the same time – as I sit eying up the costumer designer's lovely bright red apple in front of me – it's also a miraculous thing I suspect we all of us take for granted.
We can make television programmes so we do, but I wonder if all of us ever appreciate the minutiae of what's involved in making it?
Next door to the production office, the performance space in the Kala Sangam normally given over to ticketed shows has been cleared of audience seating. Gaffer tape lines the performance space for the pony-tailed dancers. Some are limbering up, some are going the whole hog and practicing their leaps in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirrors. I stare in wonder and remember the gym membership I'm still not actually utilising.
In front of the dancers the choreographer Honey Kalaria sits at a small square table with a TV monitor by her side. She introduces herself using the microphone she's holding, taking a moment to explain what will be covered in the rehearsal that follows. 'Can we have the music in .. one, two, three and four.'
'Is it bhangra? I'm not entirely sure. I probably should have researched musical styles a little more thoroughly before I came up here,' I think again. 'It certainly sounds like its Bollywood-esque. Just don't say anything out loud, so to avoid potential embarrassment.' The bass line kicks and feet start tapping. Eyes widen, smiles become fixed. And so the choreography begins.Some of the Bollywood Carmen Live cast on the first day of rehearsals.
I look at the moves the dancers are making and try and imagine what it is I might see on Sunday 9 June, to get a flavour of the kind of entertainment me as a viewer will be treated to. I struggle to engage until I realise that the secret is the frame of reference I'm missing around the tableaux in front of me. A swift glance at the monitor beside the choreographer transforms the group of dancers into something more familiar: a rectangle with everyone centre-justified; big blocks of colour; taut muscles; and wide smiles. All it needs now is a backdrop, a little bit more colour and a 52" inch screen and I'd be sitting watching it from the comfort of my sofa at home.
I don't stay long at rehearsals. I resist the temptation to see any more than I have already. Preferring instead to save the experience for that hour when I see it for the first time with everyone else. Maybe I'm a live TV junkie and nothing more. So, I take my leave and block out an hour from 9pm Sunday 9 June on BBC Three.

We are trying to move the build stage of our app to the heroku compile process. As many other web apps today this is a complex build script using
Grunt and utilizing
compass ( a ruby based tool) for some tasks. Quick googling found this semi offical buildpack and more: 1 2
Basically all of those options (try to) install grunt (and compass on most) check if a gruntfile exists and run a
grunt heroku task
The problem is that even If I get the build running (and all of the package require a little hacking to work) - some tasks from the (long yeoman modeled with our additions and changes over it) build process are just skipped. If I log into heroku with
heroku run bash and run the
grunt heroku task myself, It runs correctly (I think, hard to check without looking at the website), but not in the
git push heroku master step. It also doesn't stop with any bugs So I can't debug if this is a specific task.
Yeah, I know I can have a seperate build branch, so I don't have to commit the Dist folder on master. but that would require us to trust the devs (us..) to actually run the build task before.
I'll notice that I moved all the grunt tasks dependencies to the
dependencies part of
package.json (since heroku run npm install --production and won't install dev-dependencies) So missing dependencies isn't the problem (if it was grunt would fail). The grunt tasks aren't set in the Gruntfile.js directly but collected from a sub folder (again, If they are missing the task would fail)
So we have a very strange problem. Any Ideas?
