SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- This is a safety issue regarding the restrooms of the Burger King Restaurant at the Blossom Hill Road and Hillview Avenue location in San Jose. The door of the women's restroom has a very loose hinge. My husband said that it is the same issue with the men's restroom, as well. If you give either restroom door a slight push, the door swings inward very quickly.
Two days ago, as my children and I were about to exit the women's restroom, a customer pushed the door open. The door swung open so quickly, it slammed into my daughter's right ear. My daughter was screaming in pain. When I brought her outside, the staff took no notice.
My daughter's ear is now swollen and bruised. I explained the situation to the manager. I asked her to request for a sign to be installed cautioning people to open the restroom doors carefully. If you have a young child, or use a stroller for your kids, please be careful when using the restroom facilities at this location.
YADKINVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA -- Why do they have this nice fat Whopper Burger ads on TV and pictures all in the Sunday news paper even posters on the outside of the building of this Burger about 4 inches tall with MEAT, TOMATOES, ONIONS, AND LETTUCE hanging out all the way around the bun??? Then when you get it and get home it looks like someone stepped on it or sat down on it . You can find the lettuce OK, a couple of rings of wilted onions. You might find 2 ( If you're lucky ) small slices of green tomatoes on one side of the small meat patty. The only thing about a Whopper is the BUN... I say false advertising. They say well don't eat here, Hummm. So I eat at home.
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- I arrived at the BK restaurant on 3040 Ella Blvd. Houston, TX 77018 (#571) at 6:45 P.M. on Sunday, December 16, 2012. Before ordering I went to the bathroom and was greeted by a toilet filled with defecation, right to the brim. Very nice! A sign indicated that the toilet was broke and to flush by pulling a "yellow cord." No such cord was present and it was obvious that the toilet had been broken for greater than one day. I immediately retreated and, in a terrible decision I would greatly regret, actually got in line to order.
I placed an order for 4 Whoppers and a French fry, to go, at 6:56 p.m.; hardly a complicated order. **, the Manager, took my order. Much to my chagrin and the other patrons waiting for their orders, she and her staff moved as if they were in molasses, with absolutely no sense of urgency. Numerous other drive through customers received their orders before me and the other walk-in customers, even though the customers inside had placed their orders before the drive through patrons.
We stood there fuming as the staff members preparing our burgers would leisurely stroll to the "cold room" and retrieve one solitary piece of cheese and then saunter back, like their customers' time was absolutely worthless. The customer in front of me said "good luck" when he finally got his burgers and then left, upset. I finally received my order at 7:18 p. m., 22 minutes after placing a simple order. I expressed my displeasure with ** over the wait. To her credit, she did apologize indicating she had only one cook.
I took my order home and my family and I ate cold Whoppers and fries -- not one new batch of fries was cooked during the time I was there. I was haunted as I ate by thoughts of a toilet bowl full of turds. What a miserable customer experience! This is not the first instance of atrocious customer service/ cleanliness at this particular BK.
Approximately one year ago, while in line, I witnessed one of the African American kids who prepares the burgers and fries rummaging his fingers through the fry bin, sans sanitary gloves! My daughter actually got sick later that night, even though I did not order her any fries. I cannot say if she became ill from that BK meal, but upon reflection after this latest experience, it would not surprise me. After that instance I vowed never to return. Unfortunately, I caved. I admit it; I like the taste of BK burgers. The second Whopper for $0.55 offer Drew me in! Laugh! Never again. Ever! At any BK! Fool me twice, shame on me!
BK has now dropped to the bottom of my fast food burger list. I used to own shares in BK before they were bought out by a Private Equity firm 2-3 years ago. The name of this PE firm eludes me. Some free advice to the managers of your BK investment: Police your BK franchises! If this is a company owned store and not a franchise, you have serious problems! I currently own shares in MCD. There is one right across the street from this BK on Ella Blvd. They are not perfect by a long shot, but the level of service and friendliness from their workers and cleanliness of their operation is 180 degrees opposite from what I experienced at this particular BK. The contrast was startling.
I believe in giving my vendors, restaurants and service providers feedback, both good and bad, both at the point of sale and, if warranted, to their superiors at the corporate level. I encourage others to do the same. Do not tolerate substandard or even mediocre service. Give them feedback and make them accountable! If you accept this level of service, they will think it is acceptable! Don't fall in this trap. It is part of what is wrong in America today!
MILRORD, OHIO -- I am a very reasonable person. I am aware that customer service employees are very rarely paid what they are worth in terms of the effort they put into and the abuse to which they may be subjected during their employment. I am also aware that one should not expect gourmet cuisine and extensive personal service when patronizing a quick-service restaurant.
However, I do not think it is asking so terribly much that persons working in a purportedly customer-focused industry be expected to at least feign the appearance of being competent and considerate. Sadly, at the Milford OH Burger King, almost no employees are capable of displaying competence or consideration to even the most rudimentary degree; I am certain that, however paltry their compensation may be, it far exceeds their merits.
I attempted to use the Milford OH Burger King's drive-through to obtain breakfast combos for my husband and myself this morning. I placed my order at 0812 and, after paying, was asked by the drive-through attendant to pull to the front of the restaurant where my order would be delivered when ready. I waited in front of the restaurant for 10 minutes, during which time I noted several cars exiting the drive-through with completed orders, as well as six or seven parties obtaining orders from the front counter. Understandably frustrated after a 10 minute wait for "fast food," I entered the restaurant to check on the status of my order.
After the cashier's perfunctory, barely intelligible "Can I help you," I inquired as to when I might expect my order to be ready. The cashier directed this question to the clearly overtaxed drive-through attendant, who stated that "we're waiting for hash browns." I asked if perhaps, since I had been waiting for more than 10 minutes for 2 small hash browns, my order could be completed with the next batch of hash browns, as I had witnessed more than twenty transactions during my 10 minute wait time and I was fairly certain that some of those orders had included hash browns (as they were clearly visible on the trays of patrons choosing to dine in).
The drive-through attendant said, "None of those people had hash browns." I replied that this would not seem to be the case, as several parties had either driven away or sat down with their full orders, some of which had visibly involved hash browns. The drive-through attendant said, "Then they must've all ordered before you," to which I replied "Really?!"
At this point, a young female shouted from the kitchen area, "Is there a problem?" I calmly stated that I had been waiting nearly 15 minutes for two meals, and that I simply wanted to obtain my completed order and leave. This young woman then stated, "Look, ma'am. Here's how it works. I have to go in the back to the freezer and get the hash browns, and then I have to cook 'em. Everybody who you said already got them was here before you. Okay?" This statement was delivered in such a nasty, snide, and sarcastic manner that my only rational response was, "May I please speak to your manager?", to which this individual replied, "I am the manager. Assistant manager."
I asked if her general or district manager were available, or if I could please obtain their contact information, and she fired back, "My GM's right back there, you want to talk to 'er?" After my assent, she yelled, "Hey, **! This NICE LADY at the front wants to talk to ya!", then turned away from me and began to mimic me and comment about me to one of her co-workers.
The general manager approached me immediately and inquired about my concerns. After listening, she stated that she had only been managing the Milford OH Burger King for two weeks, and there were many issues about which she was concerned regarding personnel, but she couldn't address them overnight. I greatly appreciated her candor and respectful, appropriate demeanor.
I made extremely clear to her that the behaviors exhibited by her assistant manager were grossly inappropriate for a customer service environment, the most troubling being the fact that she was literally speaking disrespectfully and derisively about me to her co-workers within clear sight of myself, her general manager, and the other customers. After some assurances on ** part that the problems I described were clear to her and were being addressed, the front cashier had assembled my order. Before departing, I thanked the manager for her time and inquired after the identity of the extremely rude, unprofessional, and immature "assistant manager," and found that her name is **.
I called Burger King's corporate Consumer Relations line immediately upon returning home and filed a complaint about this incident and, specifically, ** the Assistant Manager. After I speak with the owner of the Milford OH Burger King store later today, I believe ** may find herself job hunting, and it is my sincere hope that this young female does not seek further employment in any customer-focused environment, as it is not a career for which she is well-equipped.
I will certainly not be returning to the Milford OH Burger King until I have received assurances from both the store's owner and the corporate consumer relations staff that, in the future, suchlike behavior will not be tolerated by any of the store's employees, let alone someone in management.
MCALLEN, TEXAS -- The Burger King at McAllen, TX. 78501 on 10th street, very bad serving. I bought Whooper Jr to go and when I got to my office to have lunch, the burger had a piece of plastic transparent trash inside. I had my last bite of the burger and thought that it was a piece of lettuce but it wasn't. I'm starting to bring my own lunch from now on. Oh, and in addition I kept my receipt and called the manager, and he just said to me "Oh I'm Sorry Ma'am. I'm Sorry." Be aware people!
AUSTIN, TEXAS -- I went to Burger King located at 3001 Montopolis Dr, Austin, TX 78741 to order some food. I pulled up to the drive through menu to place my order for a number 8 with cheese. Yet this Burger King employee taking orders assumed (instead of listening attentively) that I requested an ice tea. Then instead of allowing me to explain what I actually requested this employee just told me "ok sir pull up to the second window" without trying to get my order correct.
So, I decided that I would go inside of the restaurant to place a complaint with the manager ** because I did not have time to repeat my order over several times. Let me add that on a few sporadic occasions in the past, I had this same issue with poor customer service at this particular Burger King. I also had to place a few complaints in that I assume ** was aware of.
Moving on with the story, ** became very evasive towards my complaint. I always thought that in customer service a restaurant manager was supposed to show empathy and listen to a complaint rather than disputing it. ** then told me in a very condescending way to leave what she claimed to be her establishment. Wait a minute her establishment as if she is the owner of the entire Burger King franchise? I replied by telling her that she was not the owner of the entire Burger King franchise loud enough for her to hear me as she stood back in a defensive manner.
Then, I asked for her name so that I could complain about her conduct. While standing back in her defensive manner, ** told me again to leave her establishment in a condescending manner. Once again before leaving I asked for her name. Finally she told me that ** was her name and that she was going to call the police. I began to leave at that point ok.
** was aware of my intentions to place in a complaint on her. That is when ** decided to follow me outside to get my license plate number in order to report me to the police. Why would that be so necessary when there was never any threats, assault, vandalism, or vulgar language used? Yes I made previous stops at this particular Burger King but the only issue was to address poor customer service. I had no interest in dealing with ** personally outside of my complaints regarding the poor quality of service where she so-called managed.
Continuing with the story there was a female off duty officer who happened to be there after the incident with **. This officer asked for my side of the story. After telling her she asked for my ID she then advised me to wait until the officer that ** called arrived. I complied and waited. After the other officer pulled up he got my side of the story. This officer then told me to wait while he got ** side of the story and not to interrupt. With that I also was compliant.
I overheard ** deceitfully telling this officer how I was in some manner harassing her place of business and causing problems where she worked (due to prior complaints regarding poor customer service) yet Nancy wanted to play the victim role instead of truthfully explaining my previous visits to that Burger King.
** then had a criminal trespass placed against me just because I had made these previous complaints (that ** claimed to be harassment) where she worked. I'll assume that she was attempting to save face prior to me being able to place my complaint in on her. Other than that I feel that her actions were too over the top and disrespectful towards me as a customer.
This is a practice of bigotry. This manager named ** does not seem to be well-rounded enough with interpersonal and customer service skills to be in the customer service field. She should be fired in my opinion and placed on some type of psyche medication. I'll advise anybody in the Austin Location to avoid the Burger King located at the 3001 Montopolis. Date of incident 03/03/2015.
BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA -- Burger King Bloomington, Indiana W 3rd Street. I went into the lobby. A pregnant lady waiting to be served. I walked in with one of their workers who had been outside smoking. 5 min later the guy that was outside smoking finally asked me what I wanted. The pregnant lady beside me said "I have been waiting over 10 minutes and no one has asked me what I wanted."
So the guy asked her and she told him. He said "We no longer carry that item." She said it is right there on your menu. He said "Yeah we need to take it down." So she ordered a sundae and told them that they have the worst customer service that when a person is standing in front of you for 10 min you might want to ask them what you need.
Then a lady from the lobby comes up and said this sandwich I ordered was supposed to come with cheese. After a little argument the worker gave the lady a cold slice of cheese on the side. Then he finally took my order. Then a guy walked in behind me half blown out of his mind and I said "You better be ready to wait." He said "Not me I work here." He went around the corner, went in the back, made him a sandwich, fries, and a large drink, and came back out before I had got my order.
Then they had to redo the drive through orders because they kept making them wrong. A lady comes from outside and says in an extremely mad voice "I want to talk to the manager now." They started to argue when the manager said "Come over to the side." I still do not have food.
Finally when I got my food it took 21 min. I timed it and the lady who was yelling was still waiting for something and not one employee even seem to care, even the manager who I overheard said been doing this for 19 years, get some people in there that care. I will not be there again. The place was dirty in the back and the workers looked that way as well.
I went through the drive through 2 weeks ago and it took over 20 min and 2 cars ahead of me just left. I feel stupid just saying I waited that long. I ended up getting the 2 people in front of me order and had to tell them sorry they left. Then with my order sitting right at the window paid for and almost in arms length the window worker left, went out the door (I am guessing the bathroom), came back a few minutes later, looked at the bag and seen that he had forgotten to give me my order and handed it out to me and "Said sorry I thought I gave it to you."
I am guessing they do not drug test there or they would be out most of their works. Go try it and see if your luck is any better and watch how surprised you are on how bad the service is. This is my first time ever writing a review but I thought it was my duty to let people know.
MIAMI, FLORIDA -- Today I went to Burger King about 3:40 pm and ordered two large onion rings and a raspberry smoothie. The girl that took my order told me that the price was about $9.98. I proceeded to the pick up window, and waited there for more than 15 minutes wondering where everybody was because there was no one on sight. When finally somebody showed up with the food. I asked this person how much the onion rings were and he tells me about $3.89. He proceeds to charge me and he tells me that the price was ten something, then I replied "no" the girl that took my order told me $9.98. How come you are charging me differently?
He calls the girl to correct the problem, then they started laughing and playing while she corrected the mistake. When she was done correcting the mistake the guy that is handling my order takes my money without saying anything about the price and charged me like $12.90 and gives me the change. That is when I realized that he was charging me the wrong price again. So I say to him, "listen you made a mistake this is not the right price", then he tells me "well that is what the total is", then I said "no the price is $9.98 call the girl that took my order", so he did. The girl comes and fixes the mistake, then this is when it all started.
While the guy was getting the right change to give it to me I made a comment and asked the guy, why did they take so long to bring me the food and how come they made this mistake with the price? "Because I am entitled to know. I am the client being served and I am spending my money here." So this guy got this very nasty attitude and started screaming at me, that the mistake was because the girl that took the order had put down three orders of onion rings instead of two. Then I said well if you would be paying more attention to what you are doing this would not happened in the first place.
Then he kept on the defensive throwing words in a very bad attitude at me, then I said "why are you talking to me with that attitude you should not talk to me in that way. I am your client and you should have a little respect towards me." That is when he got really mad and said "I don't care" then told another girl that was around, "you take care of this I am not putting up with this anymore", so he left.
The girl comes and fixes the mistake and gives me my change back, then I started complaining to her about what had happened and asked her if she heard what happened and she says "yes" and then takes the employee's side in a confronting way, then I asked her for his name and she refuses to give me the guy's name and tells me in an also very bad attitude that the guy didn't have a bad attitude towards me. When in fact he did.
Then at that point I said to her "well can I talk to the manager?" Then she replied to my surprise, "I am the manager", then I asked her very confused "why are you taking the guy's side?" Then she replied, "because I want to". So at this point I asked her to give me the guy's name and her name that I was going to file a complaint against him and her, and her reply was "no I don't have to give you either my name or his," but then my wife and my daughter that were witnesses of everything that happened remembered the name, that was on the guy's name tag, because he was wearing a name tag with the name **.
The manager was not wearing any name tag at all and refused to give her name to me when I asked, so these are the kind of things that can not be tolerated because these are public places that are supposed to give a service to the people in a nice way, because the people are the ones who pay for that service and expect it. Thank you.
WAUSAU, WISCONSIN -- My complaint takes place over a number of visits to Burger King (all at the same restaurant) and over a couple of years. The first complaint is that on a couple of visits, I received moldy sandwiches. The second visit was just last week, at which time I ordered one of their cones. When I came to the window to pay, I gave the clerk 2 quarters, at which time she asked me if I wanted my change back. I was so taken off guard that I stammered out that I didn't. I had in mind that McDonald's does have a basket in which you can tell them to put the change in there for charity use. Anyway, I took my cone and left.
Then today really tops everything! I ordered a fish sandwich (no fries), a raspberry smoothie and a cone. When the total came up on the screen, it was for $14.+. Now I knew this couldn't be right and mentioned it to the clerk and asked her to over what I had ordered with me and the price of each thing. She said I had ordered a chicken sandwich at which time I stopped her as I had really ordered a fish sandwich. She then said, "Oh that was for the car in front of you." OK, now that was straightened out but we aren't done yet!
I proceeded to the pick-up window with one car ahead of me that had already been there for a while, while I was straightening things out at the order spot. I waited...and waited...and waited. By this time there were several cars lined up behind me. I finally got to the window and thought OK, finally I'll get my food and be on my way. Nope! I waited....and waited...and waited some more. It probably took me half an hour all told to get through this line!
A woman finally came to the window but did not open it and totally ignored me. I honked my horn, thinking maybe they didn't know I was there. Nope again! She completely ignored me. I again honked my horn. I think I did this 3 times. She finally opened the window and asked me what I wanted. I told her, "my food would be nice". She said, "Oh, it'll be here."
Then someone did come up with the smoothie and I took it but then she wanted my money and I told her I wasn't going to do that until I had the rest of my food. She said that was OK and closed the window. Then someone else came up with the cone and attempted to give it to me and I said that I didn't want it until I had the rest of the food as it might melt while I was waiting for the fish sandwich.
He was kind of confused and turned to someone else inside the store at which time they finally produced my food, I took it and the cone and then went to pay for it. They then told me it was free for the aggravation I had endured. Now, that was fine, but I still feel something should be done about this whole thing. This shoddy service, etc. has been going on for a few years now.
ELIZABETHTOWN, KENTUCKY -- I had just left the BK store #7194 of Elizabethtown, KY. I wish to make my self very CLEAR that I am beyond mad; beyond angry, beyond outraged, beyond furious with what happened a short real ago. An employee (female to be exact), said (on her way out with food) she has been SPITTING on some meat. Here, I had eaten more than half a double Whopper and fries as she sad it. She was walking out with an unknown size bag of something for a drive-through customer. I can't help wonder if she had done that to that customer and with mine.
As the lady came back in, her co-worker (who is new) says, "you did not just say that?", and the girl says (sounding proud of it) "I most definitely did." I could feel my blood purser SKYROCKETING in anger after hearing that. I nearly said something to a manager about this, if I was not so angry and outraged. In many ways I wish I had when she (I believe could tell) seeing me that upset would have asked if everything was O.K. I nearly would have expressed how angry I was and still am. That made what that girl said just as bad (judging from her voice behind me) "there won't be a phone call and what are they going to do to me anyway?"
I thought of getting up and answering her. It was bad enough listening to her complaining while on the floor about she hates being at there (BK) and can't wait to quit in April. But to hear the rest of what she said, if I were THE UNDERCOVER BOSS I would have fired her for what she said she did, but that's up to the management and owner/CEO. In some ways I hope this complaint gets to him/her. Hearing what she said made me sick to my stomach. I do not know if she did do it or not, I will never know.
The second complaint is that a lady kept asking for the fish sandwich to be made and how long and never heard anybody answer her the first four-six times she asked and a guy had the nerve to bark back to her saying, "I just got here and you can't blame me." The guy who said that, I know had been there long enough to have answered her the first time and I felt that was extremely rude.
Regardless if one just got there or not. If it's that person's job to do so when calling for them, then that person should do so without barking back. How many times should she have to ask for fish sandwich before somebody does what she asks? I was about to buy some to take home to my handicap mother who can't get out. Before going in for some of those fish sandwiches, but out of fear of the girl spitting on food and not knowing if they are thoroughly being cooked I did not buy any.
I used to work in restaurants and my family has owned restaurants for sometime and I perfectly understand the demand that it takes to run and keeping loyal customers and to bring in new ones, but it's those kind of people whom are (in my mind) destroying it by saying what I had heard today.

Read: JT Miller Has Already Learned A Lot Being In The AHL
In the Whale's first preseason game, 2011 first round pick JT Miller scored the only goal for CT on a one-timer.
Miller told the Rangers website "I felt good and felt more comfortable as the game went on."
He added, "I got the experience last year which really helped me so I knew what to work for all summer coming into the season. I learned that you just need to stick with it and treat your body well. I learned that you needed to be in the top physical shape out there and there is no room for error."
The Rangers website wrote "He also created several other chances with confident one-on-one moves and slick passes to his linemates, and his physical game was as advertised" and added that he didn't look out of place for a kid of only 19.
Earlier in training camp, Jim Schoenfeld said "right now we think he is physically ready to play in the American level. Mentally and emotionally he isn't intimidated. His skill level is high enough to play here. I think that the best place for him to develop would be with the Whale but we haven't made that decision yet."

Social Sciences - Hot Topics - Immigration
The UK has always had immigration as part of its history. Romans, Vikings, Saxons and Normans have come from mainland Europe to Britain (albeit usually as part of an invading army!). In later times Britain became home to people escaping persecution, like Jews and Huguenots and famine and economic poverty, like the Irish in the 1800s.
During the 1900s Britain continued to become home to many Europeans. However modern immigration took hold after the Second World War was over.
Many Caribbean people came from that part of the world in the 1950s and often took low paid and menial jobs, not wanted by the majority population. In the 1960s and 70s Asians from Uganda, formed another large wave of immigrants.
Recently however, immigration has become a major political and logistical issue once again. Thousands of African and Arabic people have come to Europe to escape conflict or poverty. Many people are also coming over to work in the UK as the EU expands to the East.
The issue of immigration has started to concern some people.
"I have never agreed with the lazy elitism that dismisses immigration as an issue, or portrays anyone who has concerns about immigration as a racist … Immigration is … a question to be dealt with" -Prime Minister Gordon Brown . November 2009.
This side of the argument says that the UK needs immigrants. Many of them take on low paid jobs which the existing population don't want. Also some people come over with skills that are in shortage in this country.
For example, nurses and doctors come over from African countries. Thirty per-cent of doctors and over ten per-cent of nurses are non-UK born. Overseas teachers also make up a growing number of school staff.
The government continues to seek highly skilled foreign workers and is seeking to attract them as well as those who want to set up businesses here, which will result in economic and taxation benefits to the UK.
In Europe the number of people of working age is declining as birth rates fall, in 2001 a United Nations Population Division study said that within 25 years the EU will need up to 159 million immigrants to keep up the current ratio between working and retired people. This will mean economic growth should be stable and the retirement age should not have to rise.
There can also be cultural benefits from adding to the mainstream. For example, Asian food and cooking are now part of the British way of life.
There are those people who see any non-European immigration as an erosion of white culture as the UK becomes ever more multi-cultural. Some of the white population feel afraid of their culture and way of life being taken away and swamped by new foreign cultures.
Those of a more central way of thinking see immigration only as a problem when the pace and scale of it becomes too much for the host country to take.
Migration Watch say that Asian and East African's arriving in the mid-1970s were about 27,000. Yet in 2004 immigration came to 342,000. The Government estimated just 13,000 Poles would come to work in the UK in 2005/6, when in fact 600,000 came over. Government figures from the Office for National Statistics put immigration for 2005 as1,500 a day, whilst 1,000 people a day left the country, this meant a rise in the population of 500 people a day through immigration. By 2010 net immigration rose to 252,000 in the UK.
Migrationwatch says that legal immigration at the present rate will require about 1.5 million new houses, adding to pressure on land availability. England is now twelve times as crowded as the USA and equals Netherlands as the most crowded country in Europe. It also argues that economic benefit from new arrivals may be limited as most send money back home to aid their families.
Added to this there are a large number of illegal immigrants estimated at 50,000 a year and they too need housing and jobs.
Of course any newcomers to the country will need access to healthcare and education and all these resources will be stretched and possibly not be able to cope with the population growth.
What's to be done?
At present the UK government has introduced a points system which will let in workers whose skills the UK needs. There seems to be a desire to look at limiting immigration. Pressure has come from an estimated figure of a 70 million UK population by 2029 given by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in which migration will play a large part. Politicians of all parties are concerned that the issue should be looked at ,to counter the rise in public support for right wing parties like the British National Party (BNP). Recent measures have also included a crack down on bogus colleges running short courses as a way of entering the country. A Migration Watch paper in 2010 put the figure of a quarter of a million student applications from abroad and called for a check that they were genuine. The Conservative government was also concerned about this and student entry is being monitored.
Some people argue that immigration is a Europe -wide problem and needs to be dealt with on an inter-governmental scale by discussions between European states.
"Indeed, in my view mass migration and the management of immigration is now the greatest challenge facing all European governments. "Dr John Reid, Home Secretary August 2006.
In 2010 the new Conservative Government planned to put a cap (limit) on the number of non-EU economic migrants admitted into the UK to live and work as well as other measures designed to limit legal and illegal immigration. There was some controversy in 2011 about how effective the UK Border Agency was in it's checks. The topic of immigration continues to be one which is of concern to public and governments alike.

|National child safety experts recommend that Carbon County residents keep household cleaners, medicine and dangerous products out of children's reach. By doing so, adults can avoid an accidental poisoning of a child.
During the summer, children tend to spend most of their time outdoors.
The warm weather and long days allow Carbon County children to participate in various activities.
Because kids spend so much time outside, adults tend to overlook the dangers that lurk inside a home.
The most common dangers found in all households are poisons.
Many times, people think of poison as being a deadly chemical. But in reality, poison can be as simple as an everyday household cleaner or a common indoor plant.
When children are present in a home, it is important to keep an eye on both the kids and the dangerous products inside the home.
Child health experts advise local parents that children younger than the age 6 years old are the most frequent victims of poisonings.
Infants and toddlers are at highest risk. Therefore, officials advise to keep common household poisons and medicines out of sight and reach of children.
Although most poisonings can be prevented, the incidents still occur. Therefore, local residents should be prepared and become familiar with the poison control number. The poison control center may be contacted by calling toll-free at 1-800-222-1222.
Before attempting to treat a poisoning victim, people should seek medical advice first. The quickest way to obtaining assistance is by contacting the poison control center.
Parents are also advised by child health officials to keep Ipecac on hand. The product is frequently used as a treatment for some types of poisoning and will cause vomiting.
Ipecac should not be used, however, unless recommended by a medical expert or poison control officials.
If poisoning is suspected, the National Safe Kids Campaign provides several steps to assist the victim.
In the case of accident poisonings, Carbon County residents should:
Stay calm.
Keep the child calm as well.
Look in the child's mouth.
Remove any remaining pills, pieces of plant, etc.
Take the child and the suspected poison to the phone.
Call the poison control center or a family doctor.
Be prepared to give the child's age, weight, the product name and the amount swallowed.
Follow the medical experts directions.
Never give the child anything including Ipecac without first calling a poison control center or a doctor.
By giving the child something before being advised, an adult may cause more harm to the young poisoning victim.
In order to prevent poisoning from occurring, poison control officials provide the following tips.
Store medicines and household products where children cannot reach the products and lock the items up.
Store all poisons in the products original containers.
Use child resistant packaging. But remember that nothing is totally childproof.
Use poisons safely. Always read the label and follow instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Lock products and medicines up after every use.
Children often times learn by imitation. Try to take medicines where children can't watch.
Poisons can look like food or drink. Teach children to ask an adult before eating or drinking anything.
Another common household danger is choking.
Children, especially infants and toddlers, put almost anything in their mouth.
Always keep small objects out of a child's reach.
A general rule of thumb is that, if an item will fit inside a toilet paper roll, a small child will be able to swallow it and may choke.
Round and hard foods are also choking hazards for children.
Hot dogs, hard candies, popcorn and nuts are common foods which children choke on.
If a child starts to choke, an adult must quickly take steps to help the victim.
For an infant, an adult should try five quick blows to the back. Then give five thrusts by placing two fingers on the breast bone between the nipples. Push down and let go. The adult should repeat the procedure until the airway is clear.
For a child, the adult should stand behind the victim and, with fists clasped between the navel and the bottom of the breast bone, give five quick strong thrusts in an upward motion. The adult should repeat the procedure until the airway is clear.
In all choking cases, local residents should contact a medical professional after the child is breathing on his or her own.
In many incidents, the child can be hurt internally by an adults effort to dislodge an object.
Also, if the efforts to help a young poisoning victim fail, people should contact emergency personnel for assistance.
Burns are another common injury children sustain while inside the home.
In order to prevent youngsters from scalding themselves, Carbon County adults should consider following the tips provided by the National Safe Kids Campaign. The campaign recommends that local residents:
Keep hot foods and drinks away from the edge of tables and counters.
Never place hot foods and drinks on a tablecloth that little hands can yank.
People should never attempt to hold hot food or drinks and a child at the same time.
When cooking, keep children away from the stove
Always turn pot handles toward the back of the stove and if possible, use the rear burners.
Youngsters can also scald themselves with water from a tap. Most children suffer similar injuries in the bathroom, generally in the bathtub.
Safety experts recommend lowering the temperature of a hot water heater to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
Adults should always test the water before filling a bathtub. There are several manufacturers who make devices that measure water temperature and act as a guide for parents.
In addition, children should be supervised while in the tub.
Water faucets are fascinating to youngsters, but can become dangerous if turned on to a hot setting.
Finally, Carbon County residents should be aware of any fire dangers that may exist in homes.
Something as simple as a book of matches can become an interesting toy of sorts for children. The fascination can quickly become hazardous and even deadly.
Parents should teach youngsters the dangers of playing with matches and lighters. More importantly, keep the items out of a child's reach and make sure to advise the child to inform an adult if such an item is found.
It is important for families to have a fire escape plan. The plan should be reviewed regularly and even practiced. Parents should also teach children about what to do in case a fire occurs.
Children should know to get out of a building that is on fire quickly. Every second counts.
Youth should also be advised to crawl low under the smoke and test doors to see if they are hot before entering any room.
It is important to make sure that the child knows to never enter or re-enter a burning home.
A designated meeting place for family members may reduce the chance of a child returning to a burning building.
In the even children's clothing becomes engulfed in flames, the National Safe Kids Campaign encourages adults to teach the youngsters to:
Stop moving.
Running fans the flames making the fire burn faster.
Shout for help and never run to get someone.
Drop to the floor.
Cover the face.
Roll back and forth to put out the flames.
By talking to children about safety inside and outside of the home, Carbon County parents can ensure a safe and injury free summer for local youth.

The columnist Jay Miller recently contributed to the Los Alamos Monitor an article describing a new website aimed at helping us decide who to support in the November elections. Apparently Mr. Miller and many other folks are not familiar with an organization called Project Vote Smart which has been providing information about candidates for many decades.
With the click of a finger you can access data on biographies, interest group ratings, public statements, voting records, issue positions and campaign financing. This information is assembled by staff and volunteers and is rigorously screened for accuracy and removal of bias. And it is free.
A couple of features are particularly interesting. Each candidate is furnished with a "Political Courage Test" asking for response on current issues and including the opportunity to explain their reasoning.
For the voter, there is a "VoteEasy" feature which allows one to compare the candidates' responses with your own position on the issues. Information is available for national and state elections.
Try votesmart.org -- I believe you will be impressed!

Posted by Reviewer1216861 on Aug 09, 2011
I like this face cream. I've been using it (in combination with several other MyChelle products) for a couple of weeks. I use this cream at night and the MyChelle Deep Repair Cream in the morning. Note though that you do NOT want to get any of the cream in your eyes, as it will sting like you won't believe. I'll definitely keep using it. And I really like that MyChelle products are pure with no noxious chemicals. I'm very careful what I put on my face.

|Well, it was too easy after having climbed Mont Blanc. The summit is too flat and there was a log near the top. The snow was very soft so when I joined my mates we hardly descended to Refuge du Goûter, we didn't carry enough water. By the way, I solo climbed it because my mates were talking about the Mont Blanc ascent. So I decided to reach the summit and return with them soon.

One of the most beautiful spa centers in Europe, it provides a wide range of curative and relaxation programs. The protector of all Carlsbad springs, the "Spirit of the Springs" forms the center of the Spa since its beginning.
The town of Loket was founded in the 13th century and is dominated by a Gothic castle. Legend has it that Charles IV kept a hunting suite here and discovered the first hot spring in Karlovy Vary. www.hradloket.cz.
The Moser Visitors Centre offers a unique insight into the 155-year-long history of the world-renowned Czech glass manufacturer. www.moser-glass.com.
The tower was built in 1914 on Friendship Heights (Výšina přátelství) and can be reached on foot through forested paths or by a cable car. The gallery of the tower sits 75 feet (25 meters) above ground and on a clear day affords views across 43 miles (70 km).
The most spectacular room at this 18th-century building is the fresco-adorned Labitzky's Hall. The restaurant offers a rich menu of Czech and international specialties and is popular for weddings. www.postovnidvur.cz.
Appreciated by romantics and foodies alike, Promenáda serves traditional French cuisine, with crêpes prepared tableside. (420-353) 225-648.

These caverns are filled with petrified thermal mineral water, springs, rare organisms, antique water pipes and other interesting finds.
The Sprudel, Karlovy Vary's largest and hottest spring stands in the heart of the spa zone. The breathtaking Spa I building once housed the Emperor's Baths. The construction of the St. Peter and Paul Orthodox Church was inspired by a Moscow church and partially sponsored by the wealthy Russians who sought treatment here.

"Long Shots": Martin Tevaseu
To most of us football is a game but the NFL…well that's a business and a harsh one at that, where any time a player earns a job, another one is cut without any real guarantee that he will find a spot on another team. In the last installment of "Long Shots" we brought you the story of cornerback Isaiah Trufant and his long road to the NFL. You may remember from Trufant's story that after being signed by the Jets late in the 2010 season, he was cut right before the AFC Championship Game against the Steelers in order to make room for today's "long shot," Martin Tevaseu.
The 6″2, 324-pound defensive tackle may not have had a "Trufant-esque" type path to the NFL but as he describes "it was a a rough road." A native of Oakland, California, Tevaseu was pretty highly regarded coming out of high school and signed a letter of intent to play for Arizona State in the Pac-10 but during camp prior to the start of what would have been his freshman season, Tevaseu suffered a serious knee injury. Due to the injury, his stint at Arizona State was over before it even started. Tevaseu returned home to rehab his knee and after fully recuperating, enrolled at Santa Rosa Junior College. While at Santa Rosa in 2007, Tevaseu ballooned to over 400 pounds but still made enough of an impact for DI programs to once again take notice.
In the months following his 2007 season at Santa Rosa, the big defensive lineman dropped nearly a 100 pounds as he prepared to transfer to UNLV, where he was offered a scholarship. Tevaseu made an immediate impact for the "Running Rebs" starting all 12 games in his first season, while continuing to improve. His college career culminated with a stellar senior campaign in 2009, where he served as team captain and was ultimately named UNLV's defensive MVP. Still, Tevaseu had yet to show up on professional scouts' radar screens until he received a late invitation to the East-West Shrine Game .
"Nobody really knew about me coming out of college and then I got an opportunity at the East-West Shrine Game. I went there and played and after a couple of practices there, people began to realize that I had some ability but most were still unsure about me."
That perceived uncertainty was realized when Tevaseu went un-drafted in 2010 however, he did receive some interest from teams in free agency. The then Eric Mangini-led, Cleveland Browns signed Tevaseu as an un-drafted free agent but his stint there would be short. "Things didn't really pan out for me over there, they were stacked at defensive tackle and it was really more of a numbers game." After being cut by the Browns, "MTV" as he is sometimes referred to did not remain in football limbo for long as the Jets picked him up and brought him into camp. "It was crazy how quickly the Jets picked me up and gave me a shot here."
Going into that 2010 season, the Jets had a number of veteran defensive/nose tackles, including Kris Jenkins who, at the time was working his way back from his second major knee surgery as well as Sione Pouha. Due to the number of tackles already on the roster, Tevaseu was among the last cuts after training camp but was then re-signed to the practice squad"Kris and Sione kind of taught me the ropes, the things I need to do like how to properly study formations. etc. "
"Sione specifically has been a great a deal of help me for me. It was different elsewhere, like when I was Cleveland other guys see you as a threat, coming in to take their job. With Sione it was crazy to me because whenever I came off the field, if I ever he had a question he would always answer it. Or If I played the technique wrong, he would come up to me automatically and tell me exactly what I should be doing. He told me my rookie year that he wants to see young guys like myself take full advantage of the opportunity that they've been given and that has meant a lot to me."
Tevaseu spent the entire 2010 season on the practice squad until he was called upon in the biggest game of the year, the AFC Championship Game against the vaunted Pittsburgh Steelers. "I remember when they told me that my first game was going to be the AFC Championship Game and I also remember Rex talking to me before the game asking me if I was ready. It was such an intense feeling, running out of that tunnel with my heart pounding and just seeing a sea of yellow. It was just an amazing thing knowing that my first game was going to be the AFC Championship Game because there are guys that play their entire career and don't even get that opportunity so it was even more special."
Although he didn't show up in the box score, Tevaseu made enough of an impact that the Jets decided to keep him around for the 2011 season and has spent time jumping between the active roster and practice squad. He recorded his first career tackle in the Jets week six, Monday night win over the Dolphins. When asked about what has kept him motivated despite limited playing time and several tours as a member of the practice squad, he had this to offer: "My thing is that I was always keep in mind the words of my college coach in that you always need to stay hungry and never getting complacent."
Despite the fact that the Jets brought in guys like Kenrick Ellis, Muhammed Wilkerson, and Quinton Coples to compete along the defensive line and potentially take his roster spot, Tevaseu remains optimistic and is excited by the prospects of the defense and specifically the defensive line: "I'm excited about the whole defensive line and how much we have improved, especially with our new coach (Karl Dunbar). Nothing against our coach from last year (Mark Carrier) but coach Dunbar has been a part of teams and has played defensive line in both college and the NFL. I think we're great already but with his coaching and his techniques, I think the sky's the limit."
Tevaseu attributes Dunbar's coaching to his own personal development as a player: "If I had to pinpoint one single aspect of my game that coach Dunbar has helped me improve it would be my pass-rushing ability. He's taught me that I can be more than just a run-stuffer and that I can be a pass-rusher as well and I think it's definitely helped."
MTV will head into camp with the odds stacked against him, given the tremendous amount of depth the Jets have along the defensive line but something tells me we haven't seen the last of him.

The future of the world is perhaps being played out in an elementary school in Quebec, where a teacher is implementing a new teaching method (Action Research) aimed at preparing children to take up environmental challenges.
During a very special school year, the students of Dominique Leduc's Grade 6 class are learning to identify, analyze and resolve a problem that exists in their world. They are also learning about the uncertainty faced by those who want to change things. A unique and invaluable witness to this experimental educational project, the documentary demonstrates how this teaching method is important in developing critical intelligence in students, but it also underlines the crucial role of the teacher. Director emeritus Fernand Dansereau reminds us therefore that we must still look to the human instinct to find reasons to hope.

The expanded Watertown outpatient clinic of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs received positive reviews as it was shown to the public during an open house Thursday morning.
Peter J. Fazio, director of the Jefferson County Veterans Service Agency, said the clinics expansion and new staffing were necessary to keep up with demand.
Vet or not, health care isnt an if, its a when, Mr. Fazio said. Its not a luxury. They have to have it.
The clinic, in the CANI Building, 19472 Route 11, is run by Humana, which bought the clinics previous operator, Valor Healthcare, in August. Overall, the Kentucky-based company operates 28 VA clinics in multiple states.
The clinic will use four patient-aligned care teams to manage care, with two of them already in use. The other two are scheduled to be ready by spring. The model mirrors similar teams used at VA facilities in Syracuse, Rome and Binghamton.
On Thursday, attendants were working on areas of the renovated second floor, which was acquired to support two of the teams. The 2,700-square-foot space is in addition to the 4,300 square feet of space already in use.
The clinics administrator, Leah L. Neely, said the clinic recently hired its last team-leading provider, who will be available in February or March, along with multiple staff members who will fill out the rest of the teams. Ms. Neely has been at the clinic for about a year, after several years at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, Ogdensburg.
The clinics new hirings effectively will double the staff at the facility.
Richard G. Kazel, manager of the Syracuse VAs medical/surgical care, said earlier this month that the increased staffing and technology upgrades, such as teleconference technology, will add about $1 million per year to the clinics costs.
Lt. Col. Steven E. Shipley, deputy commander for administration for Fort Drums U.S. Army Medical Department Activity, said the facilitys move to the team model would allow soldiers to have a more fluid transition from medical care they receive during active duty to care going into retirement.
Col. Shipley said the posts primary care has been moved toward the Army Medical Home model, which like the clinic pairs patients with a team of medical providers who can track their status more easily.
Theres really no break in that, Col. Shipley said. He said the clinics workload would increase as more soldiers retired or left the military.
Nicola L. Luciani, Watertown, who served for 23 years in the Air Force and previously was state commander of the Disabled American Veterans organization, said he had heard complaints in the past from other veterans about waiting times at the clinic, which he attributed partly to the frustration of moving the clinic to Watertown from its previous location in Carthage.
With the changes and increased staffing, Mr. Luciani said, he thought vets are going to see it for the good.
In the long run, this has done good for everyone, he said.
