Restaurant Revisited: Clueless in the Country at Heather's Country Kitchen
by Maria Russo in Shows, January 1st, 2014While the inferior food and uninspired decor were in desperate need of Robert Irvine's attention when he arrived at Heather's Country Kitchen in Plains, Mont., owner Heather Worrall's lack of leadership was of far more concern to Robert, given how little Heather seemed to know about running her business. With just two days to work and a budget of just $10,000, it was up to Robert and his Restaurant: Impossible team to overhaul all aspects of Heather's Country Kitchen and to give Heather the tools she needed to manage her business alongside her family so they could ultimately reopen Heather's as a welcoming business with a confident leader at the helm. Read on below to hear from Heather and find out how her restaurant is doing today.
"Business was really steady" immediately after filming, according to Heather, who says that the updated design "makes you smile when you walk in the door." She adds, "People just love the new flooring. Everyone wants to know where it was purchased so they can put it in their homes."
As far as the food at her restaurant goes, Heather explains that she's consistently sampling what's being made in the kitchen. "I taste test all our products, such as our homemade mashers and our fresh [french] fries," she says, noting that the eatery is serving many from-scratch offerings. "All the cooks are still seasoning things …. I am cooking some of our items. No more frozen mac and cheese. I now make my Nana's homemade mac and cheese and our customers really seem to enjoy it. I also am making my own meatloaf and it seems to be a hit. And no more frozen fried chicken….I am making good ol' Southern fried chicken."
Jackie isn't an employee at Heather's anymore, according to Heather, who says, "It was just too difficult to be [Jackie's] mom and her boss all at the same time." She adds that Courtney, Beth and Amber have adjusted well to the changes and that she and Courtney "have learned to discuss issues instead of yelling and screaming at each other." Although Beth and Amber initially struggled with the updates, they've settled into their new reality, Heather says. "They weren't liking some of my new guidelines at first, but they realized if they wanted a job, that they needed to follow them."

I saw the re-run of this show. I feel sorry for her. Her children are growing up and maybe a bit of empty nest feelings is creeping in….but that does not excuse her wanting to buy a business to keep her happy while her husband in on the road a month at a time. He should have retired while he had his chance, and helped her open a smaller cafe just to try her hand at it. I drove from a truck with my husband from 73 to 93 all the while raising two girls. It's hard. But there seems to be no structure, and the crying has to quit. She OWNS the business and really that's all she wants without the hard work which she needs to be up to her elbows in. Robert was right, the business is not worth losing her family over. The girls need the experience of working for other businesses first. That will teach hopefully structure, rules, regulations and consequences. Let the girls find their own path, who knows maybe they would want to work for Mom later on. My prayers are for Heathers husband. She has added a lot of pressure on him……maybe she should go get her CDL like I did, and go with him for three months, while the girls run the restaurant. Who knows, she may be the problem and needs to step back for a better look. Just sayin'.
You are right ! she needs to take a way back step . She is the problem !
I live near Plains and have eaten in this restaurant twice, once before the makeover and once after the makeover. The food was not cooked correctly or seasoned both times. The service is very slow and they never checked on me after I ate a few bites of the food I ordered. I have worked in restaurants before several years in many places and know how to cook. I will never ever eat at Heather's Country Kitchen and recommend you don't waste your time or hard earned money there.
My husband and I went to Heather's about 2 months ago. My expensive burger had potato straws and blue cheese. I could not taste either one. The meat patty was large, but dry and over cooked. The bun looked delicious, but was bitter and overwhelmed all the other flavors. Service was so-so, but loud music coming out of the kitchen was not cool. Totally underwhelming experience and we will not go back. I was driving through Plains a couple weeks ago and the place looks closed now. Good riddance!
Why did the family all wear the same clothes for 2 days? Didn't they go to sleep at all? Hair and makeup all perfect and exact same outfits. Hmmm. Methinks they just taped the whole thing on one day. Staged like all supposedly "reality" tv. I too do not like the gray and yellow combo. The floor was great but the rest was not so appetizing. Good luck to anyone running a family business especially a restaurant.
We visited Heather's yesterday for lunch. The service was quick and friendly. The restaurant is clean and neat. We ordered the chicken noodle soup and sliders. The soup was delicious with homemade noodles. The sliders were well plated and presented, but the beef patty was overcooked and dry. I would stop again if in Plains.

Charlton agree on Mooney extension
The 25-year-old Irishman has scored twice in six appearances for the Addicks and will now stay on at The Valley until December 28, although Reading do have a 24-hour recall clause. Charlton have been further boosted by the return to fitness of midfielder Dean Sinclair, who played for 30 minutes in the reserves' 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient on his comeback from a long-term knee injury. Youngster Alex Stavrinou, meanwhile, has joined Ebbsfleet on a month's loan. The midfielder has moved to Charlton's non-league neighbours to get some first-team football under his belt. Meanwhile, the Addicks decided not to extend the loan spell of Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme, who has since linked up with Sheffield United. Ikeme arrived at The Valley as cover from Rob Elliot, who is now on his way back from a groin injury.

3 Stocks to Benefit From Online-Fixation
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The excellent researchers at comScore recently released a report about online, social and mobile engagement among Canadians. (You can access the entire presentation here).
Having grown up on the Canadian Border -- in Niagara Falls, N.Y. - I have always had a deep love for Canada. I grew up and remain a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. Unlike a sizable swath of Americans, I have never ignored Canada. I have been to many of its great cities -- many times -- and keep tabs on what's happening over there. Thanks to my hockey fandom, I watch Canadian television and consume online media out of Canada daily, almost year-round.
For more than a year, I have been hyper-bullish BCE, Inc. (BCE - Get Report) (formerly Bell Canada) and Rogers Communications (RCI - Get Report). Along with other killer big media stocks, these two have returned impressive double digits over the last year.
You would not know this if you disregard Canada as irrelevant. Rogers and Bell, along with, to a certain extent,
(TU - Get Report) benefit from an unprecedented, at least relative to the U.S., regulatory environment. Rogers and Bell own "everything" in Canada -- the Toronto Blue Jays; the Raptors; stakes in the Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadians; the networks that air practically every sporting event, including hockey, across the country; arenas such as Air Canada Centre; and every aspect of the telecommunications infrastructure that connects Canadians to one another and the most valuable news, information and entertainment content.
It's a no-brainer for long-term investors to consider BCE and RCI as core positions. While I wouldn't refer to BlackBerry (BBRY - Get Report) as a core position just yet -- it's still quite speculative -- I like it for many of the same reasons that make Rogers and Bell attractive. Consider some numbers from the above-mentioned comScore report.
First, Canadians, compared to the rest of the world, rank first or second in key metrics that measure online visits, engagement and online video viewing. It's really quite remarkable. Second, and maybe more importantly, these numbers have plenty of room to run as smartphone adoption continues to grow.

The San Francisco 49ers outscored the St. Louis Rams, Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants by a combined 65 points in the first meetings between those teams last season.
The margin shrunk to plus-four in the rematches.
Venue played into the 61-point drop in differential. Each of the rematches against the Rams, Cardinals and Seahawks took place away from San Francisco. But there was also no denying the improvement those 49ers opponents made between first and second meetings.
One question to consider is whether improved familiarity with the 49ers' schemes will allow opponents to further close the gap in 2012.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and others gave the 49ers high praise for some of the wrinkles within their running game specifically. How many more wrinkles await in 2012? How much more ready will opponents become?
It's possible San Francisco will maintain or even add to any coaching-related advantages now that the 49ers have a full offseason to prepare. The lockout was supposed to work against teams with new coaching staffs last season, after all.

(KMOV) – The former local manager of a company that operates parking garages at St. Mary's Hospital in Richmond Heights is accused of stealing nearly $16,000 while on the job.
John Hartman, 49, was charged with felony stealing over $500.
According to court documents, Hartman was working for the company when he stole about $15,873 between Nov. 1, 2012 and Feb. 28.
Authorities said Hartman was responsible for collecting the cash receipts from the garages, depositing the money into the company's bank account and faxing the paperwork to its corporate offices in Florida.
The company eventually launched an internal investigation and realized Hartman had stolen the money by keeping the deposits for himself and telling his employers the garage had been closed on certain days they were open.
Hartman was later arrested and admitted to stealing from the company to fund "a serious gambling binge."
His bond was set at $10,000.

The meeting was called to order by Chairman Crane at 4:00 p.m.
PRESENT: Chairman Crane; Commissioners Griffin, Savage, Stopper, Wilson, and LeQuire ABSENT: Commissioner Price
STAFF PRESENT: Chief Planner Rosen, Contract Planner Garcia, Senior Engineer Wallin, and Recording Secretary Garfinkel
Commissioner LeQuire noted that the minutes should reflect the "Crossin" building as the "Virginia K. Crosson Cancer Center".
Commissioner Stopper noted that on page 85, 5th paragraph from the bottom, "since all eight of the property owners were not present". Commissioner Stopper noted that it should read, "since all eight of the property owners were not in favor of the rezone ".
Chairman Crane questioned on page 82, 3rd paragraph, 2nd sentence, if Program Planner Linnell, "promised the property owners". Chief Planner Rosen noted the wording would be changed to, "made a commitment to initiate the rezoning".
Chairman Crane also questioned page 84, 1st paragraph, 4th sentence, the word "interpretation". Chief Planner Rosen noted that was correct, and no modification was needed.
MOTION by Commissioner LeQuire, seconded and CARRIED by a 6-0 vote, that the Minutes of the June 26, 2002, meeting be APPROVED AS AMENDED.
Staff report dated July 10, 2002, was presented to consider allowing the construction and operation of a new 29,748 square foot motorcycle service and storage facility, and a 1,200 square foot donut shop, increase the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from .40 to .66 and modify a previously approved CUP on property located at 2635 - 2645 West Orangethorpe Avenue (approximately 140 feet east of the northeast corner of Magnolia Avenue and Orangethorpe Avenue) (C-H zone) (Categorically exempt under Class 15332 of CEQA Guidelines).
Contract Planner Garcia gave a PowerPoint presentation regarding the above subject property. This was an expansion of the Harley-Davidson dealership on Orangethorpe Avenue, which had been in operation at the same location for 30 years. The owner acquired the adjacent shopping center, which would be demolished for the proposed development. An existing donut shop at the center would be relocated to a new 1,200 square foot building located on the southwest corner of the property. The donut shop would match the design and color of the Harley-Davidson Dealership.
A total of 71 parking spaces were required for this proposal; 36 parking spaces for the new building; and 35 parking spaces for the existing dealership that were approved under a previous CUP. The applicant was proposing 57 parking spaces for vehicles, and 78 parking spaces for motorcycles; a total of 135 parking spaces. Staff felt parking would be sufficient for the proposed use. Access to the site would be through two driveways; one at the existing location and one that had been relocated at the west side of the new property. The site plan called for a "driveway aisle" to provide access between the two properties.
The proposed FAR (Floor Area Ratio) for the site would be .66, which the Code allows with the CUP, and with consideration to the traffic generated for the proposed development. The City's Traffic Engineer determined there was adequate traffic capacity within the traffic zone to accommodate this development. This use would generate fewer trips than the existing shopping center.
The proposal was consistent with development standards for this zone and as presented would be compatible with other uses in the area. Staff recommended that the Commission approve this Conditional Use Permit, the Major Site Plan, and the Amendment to CUP-951 subject to the conditions presented in the report.
Public hearing opened.
Applicant Ron Busante, representative for the owners for this project, thanked staff for their presentation and help in the design process. The applicant believed this was an opportunity to clear up an aging shopping center and to expand an existing 30-year old business. Mr. Busante noted that the owner of the business was present if there were any questions that were specific to the use of the building. The applicant noted that the staff report and conditions had been reviewed and the applicants were in agreement with each of the items.
Commissioner Griffin asked the applicant if they also reviewed the Engineer's requirements, and Mr. Busante responded affirmatively. Commissioner Griffin also asked if the retail tenants from the shopping center had been notified that the shopping center was going to be demolished. Mr. Busante responded affirmatively, and added that this was a requirement that had to be done to reach this stage of the application process.
Chairman Crane expressed concern with the blank walls on the alley side and the potential for graffiti. Mr. Busante noted that the elevations on the alley side were blank and added that the base and median colors could be extended all around the building. Also, the alley side could be sealed with a coating. Chairman Crane also noted the blank wall on the west side of the donut shop. Again, Mr. Busante noted that the color articulation could be extended. Chairman Crane mentioned that there was no landscaping or setback. The applicant noted that there was no landscaping on the Harley-Davidson side, however, there was on the Burger King side. Chairman Crane asked the applicant if any thought had been given to an additional treatment. The applicant noted that graffiti treatment could be applied.
There were no other public comments.
Public hearing closed.
Commissioner LeQuire noted the agreement whereby the applicant chose to keep two separate parcels. He asked if it was usual to require that the lots be consolidated. Chief Planner Rosen replied that typically it was required, depending on the situation. If there are compelling reasons not to consolidate presented by the applicant, and there is sufficient parking on both sides so that if the properties do get separated, there is not a critical issue, it would then be allowed.
Senior Engineer Wallin noted that Engineering would take the last paragraph out of the letter pertaining to consolidation.
Chairman Crane again noted, that in relation to studies of major intersections such as Euclid Avenue, Orangethorpe Avenue, Harbor Boulevard, Magnolia Avenue, etc., there was concern about the blank wall on the donut shop. Commissioner Wilson agreed. Commissioner Griffin suggested using molding partway down from the roof with a different color for some contrast.
Chief Planner Rosen added there were options for architecture and also there would be some room to move the building back and create some landscaping. He suggested adding a condition to allow staff to provide some architectural treatment along the back of the building or a combination of landscaping.
Commissioner Wilson felt this would be a huge improvement at that intersection with the added condition.
Chairman Crane clarified that the added condition would be to enhance the elevation of the west side of the donut shop with landscape or architectural features.
Commissioner Stopper asked the applicants for their comment on the possibility of moving the building. The applicants responded that they were in agreement.
The title of Resolution No. 6982 APPROVING a request to allow the construction and operation of a new 29,748 square foot motorcycle service and storage facility, and a 1,200 square foot donut shop, increase the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from .40 to .66 and modify a previously approved CUP on property located at 2635 - 2645 West Orangethorpe Avenue, was read and further reading was waived. MOTION by Commissioner Griffin, seconded and CARRIED unanimously that said Resolution be APPROVED AS AMENDED, that the applicant shall prepare and submit for the review and approval of the Director of Development Services, plans to enhance the elevation of the west side of the donut shop by adding landscape and/or architectural features.
Chief Planner Rosen gave a brief report. Commissioner Stopper encouraged the Commissioners to read the Technology Task Force Report.
Chief Planner Rosen provided a Resolution adopted in 1988 by the Planning Commission, which are the rules and procedures for the Commission and covered areas such as debate, chair's control of debate, timing of speakers, minutes, and records, etc. This policy was adopted by the Planning Commission, however, could be modified.
Also provided was a booklet that the City Council and City Clerk provided to various commissions that covered parliamentary procedures.
Chief Planner Rosen researched the cost of legal counsel, and the estimated cost based on the average meeting hours, to have counsel at every meeting would be about $5,000.00 annually. There was no budget, so staff would have to go back and get a new appropriation for this. Chief Planner Rosen recommended that it would be best to leave it up to staff to decide if counsel is needed.
There was a consensus by the Commissioners that legal counsel would be requested for future Planning Commission meetings on an "as needed basis." The Chairman should consult with staff regarding the need for counsel.
The next meeting of the Fullerton Planning Commission will be July 24, 2002, at 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 4:39 p.m.

BRUNSWICK, Maine - Bowdoin College junior shortstop Danielle Chagnon (Windsor Locks, Conn.) was named first-team All-NESCAC while sophomore pitcher Emily Nelson (Pasadena, Calif.) was chosen for the second-team in selections announced on Thursday afternoon. The Polar Bears finished the season with a record of 19-10.
Chagnon was the offensive spark for Bowdoin this season, while also playing stellar defense at shortstop for the Polar Bears. She led the squad in batting average (.384), runs batted in (32), home runs (6). After just three seasons, her 96 career hits rank fifth all-time at the school, her 10 round-trippers place her second in school history while her 16 career doubles place her fourth.
Emily Nelson followed up a stellar rookie campaign with a solid sophomore effort. She became the school's all-time leader in strikeouts in 2005, whiffing 141 batters to set a new single-season record and up her career total to an astonishing 279 in 231 innings pitched. Her 12 victories equaled the single-season record that she tied last year, and gave her 24 career wins- just six behind the school's career wins record.

The couple made a cool $18 million off their wedding and Kim regularly earns $200,000 to party!
Kim Kardashian is definitely a savvy businesswoman. She's made millions off being herself — and keeps raking the dough off of her marriage to Kris Humphries.
(New report: Kim is filing for divorce from Kris!)
According to In Touch, when they were first dating, the couple pulled in $100,000 by selling the pics of their trip to Mexico.
But that's not all. The wedding earned them $18 million, from the photos to the TV rights.
Of course, Kim and Kris sold their honeymoon shots, too. The price tag? $90,000.
And Kim earns up to $200, 000 for appearances at parties.
The stakes get higher if they have a kid. "Kris gets a bonus from E! if he and Kim have a child, but it's a tiny portion of what Kim gets, which is a lot," an insider explains.
So — even if they rumors of their relationship's demise are true — Kim might stick it out for the long run, if only for the money!

Perry Farrell Presents Precision Guided Musicians Art Project at Bardot December 2
Categories: Art Basel Miami Beach
Photo by Ian Witlen |
Perry Farrell and wife Etty performing at Ultra Music Festival 2009. |
The event will award a $7,000 grant to an artist during the festivities and the promise of showcasing the winner's art at future PGM events. Artists can apply for the grant by submitting 300 DPI high-resolution images to email@example.com.
But what can we except from the Farrells' performance? Well, PGM is all about pairing the alternative rock god with electronic musicians, and this performance won't be any different, being bill as Perry-Etty vs. DJ Chris Cox. Previous PGM performances have featured Farrell alongside Moby and Paul Van Dyk (see below).
Want to catch the performance? Sorry, it's invite-only. Then again, isn't everything during Art Basel invite-only? That hasn't stopped us before from trying to attend events.

I can remember watching exactly one anime in the time my family lived in Japan (I preferred tokusatsu shows, especially if they had giant robots, and the daily sumo wrestling) -- and from it, only one scene. I'm hoping someone here knows enough about really old anime to help me identify it.
The scene is short: a monkey boy writes something (kanji) with a brush on a pillar or vertical plank, and then somehow is being held in a giant hand as the head of a large and angry Buddha-figure looms over him. Scarily -- it was still fueling nightmares years later. This is almost certainly the scene from Journey to the West chapter 7 where Buddha captures the Monkey King, or was inspired by it.
What show(s) could this be from, that it was broadcast in the early 1970s in a city outside Tokyo*? Were there any JtoW animes current at the time?
* ETA: Sorry about being vague, but I don't remember where we were when I saw it. Either Nagoya or Sendai probably, as Kobe is unlikely for various reasons.

Breakfast Topic: What's the best excuse you've ever heard?
Now you would think this was ridiculous enough on its own, but he then made a long, detailed, thought-out post on the guild forums about how he was fine and so was the neighbor and she had a little boy and he was just beautiful ... he waxed on and on and on. Someone asked him to post a picture of the child, at which point he promptly made some excuse about scheduling and quietly left the guild. For the next few months, anyone going AFK would blurt "AFK-having-baby" in vent as fast as they could and crack everyone up.
Players all have their own reasons for going AFK, or even calling off to a raid. But sometimes the excuses are just that -- excuses. And that's where the Warcraft player base seems to shine in creativity. Assisting with childbirth has to be the one of the toppers on my list, right up there with the guild member that went AFK to answer the door with a gun (I ... never really did find out the details on that one, but I don't think I really wanted to know), and "The pool is on fire." So let's hear it guys -- what are the best excuses you've ever heard for calling off or sudden AFK's?

As one of the most famous contemporary authors, and one of the most widely adapted for the big screen, King has written everything from "The Shining" to "The Shawshank Redemption." This week we get a "reimagining" of King's classic 1974 novel "Carrie," starring Chloe Grace Moretz as the infamous teenage girl with telekinetic powers.
Yet not every household name goes without a few oops moments here and there, especially one who has such an impressive cannon as King's. From a disappearing rear-view mirror on a car to instantly dried clothes, check out these movie mistakes from your favorite Stephen King adaptations.

A rear-end collision on Pioneer Street in Ridgefield clogged traffic up to the Interstate 5 entrance during Wednesday evening's rush hour.
At 5:31 p.m., an eastbound Jeep Cherokee rear-ended a Subaru Outback at 4784 Pioneer Street, one of Ridgefield's main thoroughfares, according to Officer Craig Wattson with the Ridgefield Police Department. The Cherokee flipped onto its side, coming to rest in the westbound lane.
The driver of the Cherokee had minor injuries but refused treatment. The driver of the Subaru was uninjured.
Ridgefield police and La Center police helped direct traffic during the accident. Cars were backed up to the Interstate 5 entrance for about half an hour, said Clark County Fire & Rescue spokesman Tim Dawdy.
No citations had been issued as of Wednesday night.
Dawdy is telling drivers to be extra cautious this weekend because the area is expected to get rain after a long dry spell. The oil on the road will rise up onto the water, making the roads slick.
"The first day or so when it starts raining, it's going to be like ice," Dawdy said.-- Patty Hastings

OK, here's an idea. Probably not an original idea, but if anyone's heard of this, or has done it, or knows why it would be a Bad Idea, let's talk. Keep the wort/beer in the kettle from (full extract) boil to bottling. I already dump everything from my boil kettle into my plastic bucket to ferment, so this new way wouldn't add anything that wasn't already there. I don't use a secondary, either. My concerns are:
The problem is that your beer will be sitting on all of the trub and your cold break as well. This could contribute to cloudy beer with off flavors from the sediment. Oxygen will not be an issue as long as you have a tight fitting lid to keep the bugs out and the co2 in.
But how are you going to boil your next batch in the meantime? Don't tell me you only brew one batch at a time?
Primary: Flanders Brown Ale, Pliny the Rye Secondary: Prickly Pear Sour Pale, Cranberry Mead In Bottle: Choco Chili Porter, Dyslexia Beglian Tripel On Tap: Haus Pale Ale, Irish Red, Eggnog Stout,
Just a couple of things to think about. One, how will you install an airlock on your boil kettle? If you just cover the pot with the lid, the co2 produced might very well blow off the lid. You need a way to vent the co2 without allowing bugs in. Second, do you really want to stir your priming sugar into a kettle with 4 inches of trub? So you'll resuspend all of the trub and stir in the priming sugar and then put that in bottles? Sounds really awful to me.
I don't really see any problem in fermenting your beer in your kettle, I dump everything from my kettle into my fermenter with each batch and end up with clear beer every time. I sure would hate trying to bottle without the help of a bottling bucket though.
@ehedge20 I'm not too worried about cloudiness, but off flavors wouldn't be cool. OTOH, I don't currently take my beer off the trub; I've only done small ales so far. If I were going to lager or have a longer fermentation, I would probably rack to secondary. @mcarb Yes, my space is limited enough that I only do 1 batch at a time. A shame, I know. :-/ @Yooper, phenry Very good points about the co2/airlock and priming. If I cover and secure some foil over the kettle, would that work? Nothing could fall in, and co2 could still escape. Stirring in the priming sugar would upset the trub, wouldn't it? If I give it a good whirlpool, do you think the trub would settle down to the center quickly enough, or would this just make bottling day an (even longer) exercise? Maybe I'll still have to use a bottling bucket. This boil-to-bottle idea occurred to me as I was figuring out how I could ferment in a SS container without spending big bucks (and space) on a conical; eliminating the bottling bucket is more of an "extra" thought. Thanks everyone for the replies!

Influence: It's a lot more than persuasion
Influence can be used in all areas of life, with your children, friends, colleagues and clients
Scott HalfordInfluence. Most of us want more of it. And yet, we're often hard-pressed to explain just what it is, and why we feel such a need for it. And that's what makes "influence" a million-dollar word.
Somewhere along the way, "influence" earned a respectable reputation, and people associate it with positive and powerful characteristics. It is only by understanding what influence really is, however, that you can see why it is so … well … influential. From that, you can learn how to increase your influence.
Influence isn't only for powerful people bearing impressive titles, commanding enormous salaries. Influence can be used in all areas of life, with your children and friends and colleagues and clients.
Influence also is not about getting something you want in any particular instance, simply because you were able to, for example, use the right combination of words at the right time. No, influence can be defined with one five-letter word: "trust."
Moreover, there is a difference between influence and persuasion. Though both are useful and necessary, most people in my workshops who ask me how to become influential confuse the two terms and the benefits each brings.
The difference between persuasion and influence
Here is the simple way to look at it: Influence is what you get when you take the time to build trust. It's the result of a series of events over time between two parties. To have influence you have to spend the time. Rarely can you have true, long-term influence without spending the time to nurture the trust that is required to earn it.
Once you have built this connection, you become influential; you can pick up the phone and, without a lot of fanfare, set the wheels in motion to get you what you need or want.
Put this in the context of a business relationship with someone you've known and trusted for a long time. When your trust level is high for a person, you don't spend a lot of time on due diligence. You are influenced by the person because you have faith in his or her advice. It is reliable. It fits the formula for trust: consistent behavior over a period of time. And when someone asks you who you know to take care of a similar issue, without hesitation you recommend that influential person.
On and on the circle of influence grows. The more people you have in your pipeline with whom you've established that level of trust, the more influence you have. It is simple, and true.
The truth about persuasion
Persuasion, in contrast, is required when trust is low. Do not confuse a lack of trust with bad feelings or dishonesty, though. The need for trust occurs between two people simply because they don't know each other. Well-researched and thought-out data is required when you're in a persuasive mode. Since you don't yet have a relationship built on trust, the decision has to be based on something — in this case, the facts.
The problem with persuasion is that data can be interpreted in many ways; so when you do not yet have influence, your argument can fall apart very quickly.
For example, you'll need to be persuasive when you make that first presentation to your company's bigwigs. They don't know you, so your data will have to be well developed and thorough. Over time, however, as you present more often to these execs, and they come to rely on you, you become more influential; eventually, you will need to do little more than show up and present your case, simply and without a lot of elaboration. That's persuasion turned into influence, and it is powerful.
Building influence
How do you become influential? First, have patience. I know an executive — let's call him Bill — who took a high-level corporate job. He came in with his own agenda, and within 30 days of his start date had made sweeping changes. Although he had the authority to make people do what he wanted, he lacked the relationships necessary to become influential. The immediate result among his direct reports was animosity and low morale. Over time, employees left the company in droves. Still, Bill continued to wield his authority to get people to perform. But because he had no lasting influence he became increasingly frustrated. Even high-ranking employees questioned his strategies and motives. Eventually, Bill became so ineffective that the company's board finally asked him to step down.
The major ingredient missing from Bill's leadership style was trust. As noted, trust takes time to build. It is not a "soft" skill, a luxury; it is a requirement for success. Take a look at the most powerful and admired executives you know, and my bet is they have built trust, and through that, influence.
You build influence one relationship at a time. You do it by listening to people, by actually getting to know people and what's going on in both their personal and professional worlds. Recognition is another great trust builder that leads to influence.
When you recognize the excellent work of others, especially publicly, they will begin to feel safe around you. Eventually, they will see you are looking out for their best interests, as well; so when you ask them to do something, they will not require all the data of persuasion. They will trust you and, thus, perform. That is influence in action.
Influence is a privilege you earn — you have to invest in the trust bank before you can spend influence. And it's not just the big investments that add up. You can earn influence through small deeds, too. Influence, after all, is almost always gained over a period of time.

Midwest Living Review
Named for Cleveland's geographical location, latitude 41 degrees north, this casual spot does breakfast well. The standout deal is the cheekily named Menage a Trois— two eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, toast and coffee for a ridiculously well-priced $4.95. (A dollar more nets you two additional sides.) On the sweet side: Kick*ss French Toast ($7) and the Buttermilk Griddle Cakes with various add-in toppings ($6 to $7.50) do not disappoint. Healthier, but no less yummy, is the specialty Iced Protein Drink, a smoothie made with low-fat yogurt, milk, whey protein powder and tropical fruit. Whatever you choose, make sure to get a taste of the house butter blended with honey, cinnamon and syrup.
The menu boasts "service with a latitude attitude," which means it's quick, friendly and attentive. It also means you'll have to order at the counter, seat yourself and get your own coffee or water.
In addition to the great food, each table is cleverly decoupaged with a map and related paraphernalia from places along the same latitudinal line as Cleveland, making for a scrapbook-meets-atlas feel. The airy dining room has plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows, and a lounge area near the front counter completes the laid-back scene with cozy couches and a well-stocked bookshelf. With the comfortable atmosphere and free Wi-Fi, Latitude 41˚n customers get coffee shop ambience with a restaurant-quality dining experience.

There's no way to really define Marie in a couple of words. Her parents were two cheery and humorous people, and Marie picked up most of her traits from them. She is awfully humorous, and enjoys making jokes and being ridiculous. It isn't to the extent that people usually assume though, as Marie is always aware of the situation, and is (usually) empathic and (usually) acts accordingly.
She prefers there to be no awkward silences or tension in her conversations, and thinks tranquil silence to be a bit lonely.
Marie is a spunky individual, often spirited and annoyingly optimistic. She fights fire with fire, and often—or actually, always— is extremely sarcastic. She'll take any jokes in good-humour, and isn't the type to bear grudges. Because of this, people believe her to be rude and overly forward, and Marie isn't the type to let anyone belittle her either, so these people will walk away very definite in their opinions about her.
She is random, and very contradictory, so don't be surprised if she adapts to the mood in a way that isn't light-hearted as per usual. As said, she is empathic towards people she knows well, and only does what she thinks will make them happier. Although what she thinks will make them happy sometimes ends up the complete opposite.
Lastly, her Gryffindor bravery cannot be forgotten. Marie's bravery isn't defined as just as absence of fear, but by her ability to act when she needs to, even if against all odds. She will take a stand and fight for what she believes easily. She is brave in her own right. Despite this, Marie doesn't really think herself brave; she actually labels herself as a bit of a coward. A coward because she avoids things too easily, especially when involving the people she doesn't want to hurt.
extra personality traits because this is too long:
- shameless
- mischievous
- rebellious/defiant
- contrary
- witty
- really weird………
- says things she wants to take back a lot
- very blatant (most of the time)
Marie maintained a sunny disposition throughout her childhood. Born as the first child to two utterly loving and happy muggle parents, she was followed by her younger brother, Arden, when she was three. As such, Maria bared no qualms about her parents no longer doting on just her, and loved her brother dearly, even if he was a bit of a brat.
When Marie entered school, she gained a reputation of being an oddball. Strange things happened around her: crayons turning into paints (much to her childish delight), friends never able to find her in a game of hide and seek, and the spook in which after having a nightmare, Marie woke up in the dark, only to find the lights flickering on. These events were usually overlooked by the adults, luckily enough.
However, even if she was peculiar, Marie found her elementary school life to be extremely fun. She made friends easily, and was always eager to make more. Marie constantly had funny jokes to say, and always lightened up the mood. Her parents were a spunky duo, and influenced her growing personality much more than her friends did. Marie was usually always happy, growing up in her lively home.
She was simply normal—well, as much as was possible.
On the day of her eleventh birthday, normal was something she ceased to be. Her parents were both accepting and completely fascinated, while her brother (albeit a tad jealous) was proud that his weird sister was even weirder.
Marie entered the wizarding world mesmerised, gaining as much knowledge as she could. She wasn't really an academic child, but maintained her grades in Hogwarts merely due to the fact that she was interested. She was scared and hesitant her first year though, a complete contrast to her usual nature. Only after meeting people and adapting to her new life was Marie back to her old self (but still somewhat dulled down) for the rest of her school years.
She did mature a bit, as she passed her adolescent years, probably due to the fact that she wasn't always surrounded by her cheery and usually immature home.
Marie often writes back home, using the school owls to mail her letters, but contacts her brother much more frequently—much to his apparent 'annoyance'—and he sends just as many letters. Probably because she often includes loot from Honeydukes.
mother: Adria Sexton – 41 years old (muggle)
father: Noah Dunn-Sexton – 40 years old (muggle)
younger brother: Arden Sexton – 13 years old (muggle)
silencio: silences the target of the spell
aguamenti: conjures a beam of water from the caster's wand
episkey: heals damage inflicted on a target
accio: summons the named object to the caster; the caster should have a general idea of the object's location
lumos: causes a small light to shine at the tip of the caster's wand
cheering charm: cheers the target up/charms them to become happier
core: Unicorn Hair
length: 11 ¾ inches
wood: Pear
flexibility: Stiff
- she wanted to be Gryffindor's Quidditch beater, but is admittedly terrible at flying
- the last name is a running joke in her family (because they're all really mature);; Marie's mother mused that since she faced embarrassment throughout her teen life because of it, so her family should suffer too- 'Sexton' is one of the only things that can embarrass Marie, although she'll usually play it off as a joke
- Marie is unsure of how she is a 'brave and courageous' Gryffindor, often stating her only feat of bravery was killing a bug in her room one time; only one time though, since she now gets her friends or her brother (if she's at home) to kill it
- she drinks a lot of water, which is one of the reasons why she learnt Aguamenti
- Marie has freckles on her cheeks and nose, nowhere else
- her name obviously isn't Edith, but she borrowed it from her visiting cousin (who was part of a community service, hence why she had the name tag) and thought it'd be a nice conversation starter
- when/if ever at all Marie cries, she hiccups
- character ref

Blog Post: Brands Take to Instagram for Marketing
Great article thanks for sharing! I am glad to see more marketers and brand taking advantage of Instagram. To me, Instagram is about visual storytelling. Brands and businesses can use compelling photos to engage customers in a fun, personable way. Photos can appeal to emotions in a way text cannot. Brands can deepen the connection with followers by making the account an extension of the brand's voice.

New Bus Now Old Bus
About the only technical advantage the NB4L has over the first generation ADL Enviro400H was that all the anciliaries like power steering pumps and what have you are electric, so you can stop the engine and run on pure battery power, only kicking the engine back in when needed. Obviously this stops the engine at bus stops and in stationary traffic, saving fuel, it's what modern cars do and is a Good Thing. More conservative designs based on conventional diesels (like the original Enviro400H) couldn't do this as they ran anciliaries mechanically from the engine, requiring the engine to be running to be able to steer, for instance. They've now seemingly overcome this judging by a very bullish press release yesterday:
The company already has 600 hybrids operating in the UK, in many cases achieving fuel and CO2 reductions of 60% compared to previous diesel equivalents. Their latest technology will introduce stop-start hybrids, enabling zero emissions as vehicles pull away from bus stops. ADL expects this to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by another 8-10%.
8-10% is about what I'd expect the environmental margin of the NB4L over the Enviro400H to be at best, so we're possibly talking very little difference here other than the ADL product is cheaper, carries more people and, being built in large numbers, is more readily available. Indeed, ADL are already churning 'em out:
All 150 stop-start ADL hybrid-electric vehicles will be delivered between now and the summer of 2013. Operators receiving them are Metroline (19), National Express Dundee (9), National Express Wolverhampton (12), Stagecoach Manchester (40), Stagecoach Sheffield (19), London United (29), Go-Ahead London (18) and FirstGroup (4).
Assuming the First ones aren't for London, that's 66 straight off the bat over the next six months, probably before the NB4L is really going to be in series production given the need to remove about 5% of it if the design capacity is to be reached.
Is Boris's New Bus now Old Hat? I think we should ask more questions.
2 Responses to New Bus Now Old Bus
Dan says:
The hybrids on route 73 already do this. The engine switches off at stops and only switches on once they have built up speed.
But aren't you missing the point? The advantage of the Boris Bus was never that it was technically a better bus – more that it looks cool.
Jim says:
It has to be remembered that the info coming out some time ago, as in the DoT which were proved true ie anyone but Virgin, was that it would be no one else but Wrightbus.
Boris is not fully to blame for this decision but two others are.

He'll fit pretty much every single park deck that is out there to be bought except for the ones made specifically for bigger guys. In other words, the options for your friend are almost limitless. I prefer something with hybrid camber, but others will prefer something different. How soft odes he want? Total jib noodle, manly jumps and pipe deck, or something that's just kind of an all arounder? That will help people guide him to some boards that are a little more specific for his needs.

Kung Fu Panda Issue 6

This article is out of universe from Kung Fu Panda. |

Kung Fu Panda #6 | |||||||||||||||||||
Kung Fu Panda Issue 6 (or Kung Fu Panda #6) is a comic book published by Ape Entertainment that is based on DreamWorks Animation's Kung Fu Panda franchise. It is the last of six planned issues in the comic book series[2] and was released on January 25, 2012.[3]
[show]Book Synopsis
"Mountain warlords. Cutthroat barbarians. Ancient demons. Po has faced them all. His next challenge, however, may be more than even the Dragon Warrior can handle, when Master Shifu issues Po a new challenge—a 24 hour fast! Will Po be able to defeat the enemy within his own voracious appetite?"[2]
This book is separated into two different adventures, which are named as such:
The Slow Fast
One day, Po and the Furious Five were meditating while Shifu explained to them the concept of fasting. However, while the Five had successfully cleared their minds, Po was daydreaming about food. After the students snapped out of their meditation, Shifu informed Po that while his kung fu skills had grown, so had his weight, and that he needed to discipline himself. With that, the red panda orders Po to fast for the next twenty-four hours. As a horrified Po ran off, Mantis and Crane made bets as to how long Po would last, with Mantis betting six hours and Crane betting that Po wouldn't even last one, while Tigress remarked that Po could do the full twenty-four, stating that once Po sets his mind to something, he's unstoppable.
Meanwhile, Po fled in terror from a pond after seeing his reflection morph into food, and ran into the forest in an attempt to escape temptation. However, he found further troubles: he was startled when he stepped on a branch, walked into a berry bush and barely managed to avoid swallowing them when they fall into his mouth. Po then decided to sleep out the rest of the fast, after which a watermelon fell into his mouth. Though he spit it out, he accidentally knocked the watermelon tree by doing so, and had to flee from the falling fruit. He came to a nearby stream and decided to take a drink, only to run away screaming after remembering that fasting involved avoiding food and drink.
Po managed to escape the forest, but his relief was short lived when he found himself in the Annual Dumpling Festival, his strongest temptation yet. Desperate, the panda resolved to keep his mouth shut for the rest of the fast to keep any more food from going into his mouth. At that moment, a gang of bandits interrupted the Dumpling Eating Contest, and decided to take all the food, as well as the the prize for the contest, golden dumpling. Despite being unable to speak because of his vow of silence, Po took on the bandits. However, since weapons were not allowed at the festival (a rule the bandits broke so they could target the festival), Po struggled to fight them, until he eventually defeated them and forced them to flee by using the enormous variety of food around him as improvised weapons.
With the bandits were gone, the grateful citizens rewarded Po with the golden dumpling, but the mute panda gave them a note, explaining that he could not accept it because he did not and would not partake in the eating contest. Just then, Shifu and the Furious Five arrived, and Shifu informed Po that the fast was completed, and commended the panda for achieving discipline. Immediately after this, Po scarfed down all the dumplings, winning the contest. Bemused, Shifu stated that he may have spoken too soon.
