Republican convention fails to move markets, but expect a bounce in polls (Originally posted on Yahoo!'s "The Signal" Blog)
DavidMRothschild on August 31, 2012 @ 10:23AM
Two stories will play out today as the floors are swept and the balloons popped at the Tampa Bay Times Forum: That Republican nominee Mitt Romney will receive a bump in the polls after accepting the nomination, and to pay no attention to this bump. These stories evidently do not cancel one another out.
The prediction markets we follow are generally uninterested in temporary inflations like these. (The same will probably be true for President Obama this time next week.) In fact, the spread in the gambling markets moved slightly in Obama's favor from before to after the Republican Convention. This does not mean the convention was unsuccessful. Sure, there were some strange moments, but most of the events went off without a hitch. It simply means it was not a homerun. Romney is challenging an incumbent president, so anything less than a picture-perfect convention is going to give the market a sense that he's running out of time to make his case for a change of leadership.
Three States Hold the Keys to the Election (syndicated on the Huffington Post)
DavidMRothschild on August 29, 2012 @ 2:47PM
If you have limited time to devote to following the presidential election this fall, I suggest you follow the data on just three states: Florida, Virginia, and Ohio. Mitt Romney's only likely path to victory over Barack Obama is to win those three states. Conversely, if Obama can carry just one of those states, he will likely win the election.
All of the predictions in this column update in real-time on PredictWise. I create the predictions with a combination of three types of data: polls of voter intention (via the HuffPost Pollster API), prediction markets, and fundamental data. For the unfamiliar, prediction markets, such as Betfair and Intrade, are markets where the user buy and sell contracts on outcome of the upcoming election.
Obama is extremely likely to carry 191 electoral votes from 15 states and DC. Likewise, Romney is extremely likely to carry 167 electoral votes from 20 states. In these states, the other candidate has a negligible likelihood of flipping the state.
Obama has 46 electoral votes from three additional states where Romney has a non-negligible likelihood of stealing a state (Obama's likelihood of victory): MN (89.5 percent), PA (89.2 percent), and MI (86.6 percent). Romney has 39 electoral votes from four additional states where Obama has a non-negligible likelihood of stealing a state (Romney's likelihood of victory): AZ (94.4 percent), MO (90.3 percent), ND (86.9 percent), and NC (85.2 percent).
I actually expect, on average, one of these states to flip. Electoral College elections are not independent outcomes; it is highly likely that any candidate that picks up a state where he had a 5 to 20 percent likelihood of victory has also won a lot of states where he had a 20 to 50 percent likelihood of victory. In order to capture a long-shot state, a candidate needs something more than an idiosyncratic shock to that state, but also a national trend that carries a few other states with it as well. Thus, it is extremely unlikely that the long-shot state would swing the election; rather, it will pad a solid victory.
Before considering the only eight swing states, Obama has 237 electoral votes to Romney's 206 electoral votes; the winner needs 270 electoral votes or 33 more for Obama and 64 more for Romney.
Florida (29), Virginia (13), and Ohio (18) account for 60 or the 95 remaining electoral votes and constitute Romney's only viable path towards victory. Victory in all three would require Romney to just pick of one of the other five remaining states (Obama's likelihood of victory): Iowa (52.1 percent), Colorado (60.8 percent), Wisconsin (67.5 percent), New Hampshire (71.2 percent), and Nevada (73.7 percent).
If Obama wins Florida (41.1 percent), there is no almost likelihood that Romney sweeps the rest of the states to take the presidency. This is the only swing state that leans Romney. If Obama wins just Virginia (52.4 percent) or Ohio (58.9 percent), it is possible for Romney to win, but highly unlikely, because he would have to virtually sweep the remaining swing states.
Where does this leave the overall election for me as we head into the Republican National Convention -- I have Obama with a 58.9 percent likelihood of reelection, or the exact same likelihood as his chances in the pivotal swing state of Ohio.

Christie's keynote address comes with awkward political calculus (Originally posted on Yahoo!'s "The Signal" Blog)
DavidMRothschild on August 29, 2012 @ 2:32PM
Note on 8/29 at 3:40 PM: This article was written and published prior to Christie's speech.
To quote Ezra Klein: "This is a great speech. But it's a great speech for Chris Christie, not for Mitt Romney."
Let's assume that, like virtually every politician in America, Christie wouldn't mind being the president. He made a mistake not running this year, in which Republicans reluctantly nominated a former blue-state governor with low favorability to go up against a vulnerable sitting president. But economics counsels us not to make decisions based on sunk costs or regrets. Let's game this out.
If Romney wins in November, the soonest Christie could run is 2020, barring a historically disastrous first term for the former Massachusetts governor. First, he will have to decide whether or not to run for re-election in New Jersey in 2013. Many suspect that popular Newark Mayor Cory Booker will be the Democratic candidate, meaning Christie would face a bruising election. Losing would damage him nationally, and winning would require that he solidify his blue-state bonafides. This will make running for national office more difficult, even seven years later—just ask Romney.
All signs point to a Romney victory except one (a very big one) (Originally posted on Yahoo!'s "The Signal" Blog)
DavidMRothschild on August 23, 2012 @ 3:29PM
Our full model, which does factor in polls and markets in addtion to fundamental data, still has Obama winning the election with 303 votes.
We searched for an explanation for difference between our full model and our pure fundamental model, by looking for data points that are uniquely different this year than in the historical elections. There is one glaringly obvious factor: the favorability difference between Obama and Romney.
Favorability is shockingly bad for Romney. Pollsters routinely ask questions like, "Do you have a favorable or unfavorable impression of ..." for both Obama and Romney. Currently, the Pollster average has Obama with 48 percent favorability and 45 percent unfavorability, while Romney is lingering with 41 percent favorability and 47 percent unfavorability. Romney's consistent negative favorability to unfavorability split is unprecedented in American politics.
Akin's 'Macaca moment' could flip the Senate race (Originally posted on Yahoo!'s "The Signal" Blog)
DavidMRothschild on August 20, 2012 @ 11:10AM
Missouri Republican Rep. Todd Akin woke up Sunday morning with a 65 percent chance of unseating incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill in the upcoming Senate race. By the end of the day, after facing a torrent of criticism over his claim that women rarely get pregnant as a result of "legitimate rape," the tables had turned: Our real-time predictions now give McCaskill a 60 percent chance of retaining her seat.
It is not too soon to speculate that this could be the 2012 variety of George Allen's 2006 "Macaca moment," which was instrumental in the incumbent senator's defeat. That narrow loss, as well as several others, cost the Republicans control of the Senate by one seat that year.
The Senate hangs in an equally fine balance this year. Before Akin's odds went south, the Republicans were on track to control 50 seats to the Democrats' 49, plus one independent. While that figure will almost certainly wobble between now and November, it is eminently possible that one seat will make the difference.
Missouri GOP senate candidate drops heavily in prediction today due to rape comments
DavidMRothschild on August 19, 2012 @ 7:50PM
Missouri Republican senate candidate Todd Akin started the day with a 65 percent likelihood of unseating the incumbent Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill. Earlier today footage of Mr. Akin's appearance on The Jako Report became public. In response to a question about legalized abortion for rape victims, Mr. Akins stated that, "From what I understand from doctors, that is really rare. If it is a legitimate rape, the female body has a ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
Anticipating the effect of these comments on the senate race between now and Election Day, PredictWise's real-time predictions have moved to 70 percent likelihood for Senator McCaskill. We expect this prediction, which includes polls, prediction markets, and fundamental data, to move even further in the next few days when the first polls are conducted that include these comments and they likely catch up with the prediction markets.
Romney's path to victory goes through Florida, Ohio and Virginia (Originally posted on Yahoo!'s "The Signal" Blog)
DavidMRothschild on August 17, 2012 @ 2:38PM
Mitt Romney has one clear route to victory on Nov. 6: In addition to winning all the states we know he will win, he has to capture Florida, Virginia, Ohio and at least one of five other swing states.
It's very possible Romney will win more than that. Our model of presidential elections, for example, has him with a 17.2 percent chance of winning Pennsylvania. Were he to manage that, however, it would almost certainly be part of a national landslide in his favor that includes most of the swing states. While I'm sure the Romney campaign would be delighted to win Pennsylvania, if it manages that it will be because Romney won far more than the 270 electoral votes he needed.
With dozens of scenarios, control of the Senate is a toss-up (Originally posted on Yahoo!'s "The Signal" Blog)
DavidMRothschild on August 13, 2012 @ 3:37PM
As political nail-biters go, the most interesting battle in the 2012 election does not involve anyone named Obama or Romney. While the general election is going to be decided in six or seven swing states that have a reasonable likelihood of going for either presidential candidate, control of the Senate rests in a much more complex tangle of eight or nine states. Right now, our model of polls, prediction markets and historical data suggests that Democrats have a 48.7 percent likelihood of retaining control of the upper body.
The Democratic Party currently has 53 senators in its caucus to the Republican Party's 47 senators. But the way the cards fell with the 33 seats up for re-election this year was not kind to the incumbent party. Democrats are defending 23 seats while the Republicans are defending only 10 seats in this year's election. Stated another way, the Democrats have just 30 seats confirmed for the next session to the Republicans' 37 seats among the 67 total that aren't up for re-election for two or four more years.
Since the vice president casts a tie-breaking vote in the Senate, the Democrats must win 20 seats and the presidency or at least 21 seats to retain the Senate. The Republicans must win 13 seats and the presidency or at least 14 seats to take over the Senate.
Ryan pick damages market odds of Romney victory in Florida (Originally posted on Yahoo!'s "The Signal" Blog)
DavidMRothschild on August 11, 2012 @ 2:02PM
When the markets were leaning in the Pawlenty/Portman direction, they gave Romney a 70.7 percent chance of winning the state of Florida. With Ryan officially on the ticket, Romney is clinging to a 56.3 percent likelihood of taking the state. We expect polls to follow this path in the next few days.
Ryan's budget proposals will be at the center of the presidential campaign in Florida. For better or worse, his policies, if enacted, would probably cost the state's older residents. Ryan's budget calls for cuts to Medicare in the form of reduced services and increased premiums. He has also pushed for privatization of Social Security. Both of these measures would offset planned tax cuts that would drop the top income tax rate from 35 to 25 percent.
Prediction markets leaning toward safe choice for Romney's running mate (Originally posted on Yahoo!'s "The Signal" Blog)
DavidMRothschild on August 09, 2012 @ 8:16AM
With anywhere from days to weeks remaining in the long and tortured period of speculation over Mitt Romney's running mate, the Signal is increasingly convinced that either Ohio Sen. Rob Portman or former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty will get the nod. The prediction markets currently give them a 35 percent and 16 percent chance of victory, respectively. In other words, there's better than a 1-2 chance that Romney will opt for the safest choices available.
You could be forgiven for needing a refresher on which of these two politicians is which. Portman and Pawlenty are both white males in their fifties with records as reliable conservatives, not firebrands. Either would provide Romney cover from the right while providing a sense of prudent sensibility to the rest of the country. These men both provide a moderate benefit, credibility with the right, with little potential cost.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Wendi is truly one of a kind! Not only are her desserts absolutely delectable, but she is as personal and accommodating as she is professional. As a total dessert lover, I knew I wanted a treat table to be a main feature at my wedding. Wendi was more than willing to bend over backwards and take on new challenges (like mastering apple cider donut holes - yum!!) to make my vision come to life. She even drove to my house during the months prior so I could sample some of her latest and greatest creations! There was barely a morsel left of any goodies at the end of our reception, and friends and family members alike continue to rave over the delicious spread. FIVE STARS all around, and I will definitely be using SweeTreats again in the future!
I can not even begin to explain how AMAZING of a baker, artist and person Wendi is. You may think, "a cake is a cake" but that is SO untrue. Wendi has an incredible talent for baking and left ALL of my guests drooling for more! We went with cupcakes for our wedding & they were such a HIT! She helped me plan out the flavors & we decided to offer 8 different kinds- ALL delicious!! But, it she doesn't just bake, decorate & drop off.. Oh no, her display is truly an ART! She is equipped with gorgeous display items & props that truly make her one of a kind. Not only did Wendi supply delicious treats, but she also kept in contact with me to make sure I wasn't overflowing with stress. She truly cares about her brides & does everything possible to make your big day a success. If you are researching bakers, LOOK NO FURTHER! :)
It was an absolute pleasure working with Wendi! You were such a great help with making our wedding special! Thank you for all your suggestions with wedding planning! The cake was DELICIOUS and we got so many compliments on the cupcakes and also the display. Hope you are enjoying those barn doors ;)
The cake that Wendi made for us was everything that I pictured. She captured my vision completely. Most importantly the cake tasted amazing. She is reasonably priced for how amazing her cakes are!
Wendi was so helpful in the whole process, from the tasting of tons of different cake/filling options, to deciding the decorations for the cake. We can't wait to have some more cake on our anniversary!
My family and I are cake people - we love cake and have very high standards when it comes to good cake. We LOVED the cake from Wendi at Sweetreats! Firstly, Wendi was lovely to work with. She listened to our preferences on style, flavor and display. The display she provided and set up for us was exactly what I described to her. We asked for classic (albeit - plain) icing design which is exactly what she did. The cupcakes looked beautiful. Secondly, the cupcakes and wedding cake were delicious! We got so many compliments on every flavor - we had carrot cake, french toast (big hit!), chocolate with vanilla bean icing, pumpkin spice, red velvet and chocolate peanut butter cupcakes. Our cake topper for cutting was carrot cake with walnuts. Thirdly, the price was reasonable and comparable to other bakeries. I found the delivery fee and display fee to be reasonable and so worth the money - Wendi was turn-key (cupcakes were delivered, displayed and the display collected at the end of the night). We had a fabulous experience with Sweetreats - highly recommend! :)
We highly recommend the red velvet cake! Thank you, SweeTreats, for helping to make our event so special!
Sweetreats bakery was amazing! Wendi was great to work with! Her cupcakes and wedding cake was amazing all of our wedding guest loved them! Thank you Wendi for everything!
Wendi provided us with a huge selection of cakes to taste. I was looking for carrot cake, but really loved all of the cakes she offered us to taste. We ended up having carrot cake and coconut cake with a cream cheese frosting for our wedding. She communicated in a timely manner, and executed the cake décor as I wanted and it tasted delicious! I can't wait to celebrate my one year anniversary with more of her cake!
Working with Wendi was great! She always provided quick feedback and responses. Her work is delicious and beautiful. Everything came out exactly as we had discussed and as the pictures I had shown her. Highly recommended and great value!
Wendi is a very nice person. The muffins she made were divine, however, the cookies were much smaller than anticipated and communication could have been better.
Flexible and easy to work with!
Wendi was awesome to work with! She not only wanted to know what kind of cake/cupcakes we wanted, but also what our wedding theme was so she could tie everything together--which she did seamlessly. We had a small cake which looked gorgeous. Beautiful colors and details! All of the cupcakes and cake tasted delicious. There are so many flavors that it was hard to choose, but I have to say the PB&J cupcakes were my favorite! Our cake was white chocolate raspberry which was amazing! Wendi also did a beautiful display for our wedding. We had quite a few guests comment that they were the best cupcakes they ever had! What a great complement! We will definitely be going to SweeTreats again for an anniversary cake! Thank you Wendi for the great service!
Wendi was a pleasure to deal with. She was very professional and returned your calls/emails in a timely manner.
Wendi is so much fun to work with. She goes above and beyond expectations as a baker! I had already tried her cupcakes for a work event, and all of my co-workers just couldn't stop talking about her cupcakes! In fact, some of my co-workers wanted to come to the wedding just for the cake and cupcakes! Lol! Wendi is so nice, and exceeded my expectations of the cake I was asking for. I showed her a picture online of what I was kind of looking for, and she just ran with it. It was so perfect, and tasted amazing! The flavors were just awesome! I asked for a pair of cupcakes that look like Razorbacks(my favorite college mascot) and they were a hit! She did exactly what I asked, and they tasted great too. I will be ordering cupcakes from Wendi for more events in the future! Thanks Wendi!!!
My husband and I came upon SweeTreats as a recommendation from my cousin. We went for a taste testing and were sent home with a variety to sample. We were very impressed with the taste and freshness of all of the cupcakes we sampled. We decided to book with Wendi for our wedding. We decided to do both a cake and cupcakes, not a problem. I wanted her to match a picture that I seen of a cake I really liked. Not a problem. I wanted to have three different flavors in each slice with different icings so each guest could sample multiple flavors. Again, not a problem. Wendi was very friendly and easy to work with. She was quick to respond to any of my e-mails. She was timely to the reception venue to set up our cake, cupcakes, and other goodies. She arranged everything nicely on our table. The cake looked lovely as did the cupcakes. It was very similar to the picture I wanted her to replicate. The cake was very tasty and everyone loved it. Wendi's prices are very reasonable. I would highly recommend SweeTreats for any of your cake, cupcake, and dessert needs!!

Family planning and contraception
Contraception, also known as birth control, refers to any activity, medication or equipment used to prevent pregnancy. There are many types of birth control available for women who do not wish to become pregnant.
Birth control types
While some methods of birth control—such as abstinence and condoms—do not require physician involvement, others require a visit to a physician for an examination and a prescription, including:
- Oral contraceptives (birth control pills)
These are medications that are taken daily to prevent ovulation by controlling pituitary hormone secretion. Usually, oral contraceptives contain the hormones estrogen and progestin.
- Mini-pill
Unlike the traditional birth control pill, the mini-pill has only one hormone, progestin. Taken daily, the mini-pill thickens cervical mucus and prevents the sperm from reaching the egg. The mini-pill also can decrease the flow of your period and protect against pelvic inflammatory disease and ovarian and endometrial cancer.
- Implanon
Implanon is a type of implantable contraception that consists of a small sticklike rod placed beneath the skin of the inner upper arm. The rod slowly releases etonogestrel, a hormone similar to progesterone. Effective for three years, Implanon must be inserted and removed by a health care provider using a minor outpatient surgical procedure. Possible side effects include irregular, missed or painful periods, weight gain, acne, headaches, breast tenderness, hair loss, changes in mood and/or libido, abdominal pain and an increase in blood pressure. It is important to have regular follow-up appointments with a health care provider.
- Depo-Provera
This is a progesterone-like drug given by injection to prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation. The effects last for about three months and another injection must be given to continue birth control effectiveness.
- Monthly injections
This is a contraceptive that combines two types of hormones, estrogen and progestin, in a monthly injection. These hormones work to prevent ovulation and continue regular menstrual periods. The injection must be repeated every 28 to 33 days to be effective.
- Patch
This is a skin patch worn on the body that releases the hormones estrogen and progestin into the bloodstream. It is most effective in women who weigh less than 200 pounds.
- Diaphragm or cervical cap
A diaphragm is a dome-shaped rubber cup with a flexible rim that is inserted through the vagina to cover the cervix. This type of birth control must be inserted prior to having sexual intercourse.
- Hormonal vaginal contraceptive ring
This is a ring that is placed inside the vagina around the cervix. The ring releases the hormones estrogen and progestin.
- Intrauterine device (IUD)
An IUD is a device placed in the uterus through the cervix by a physician. The IUD works by preventing an egg from being fertilized in the tubes or from attaching to the wall of the uterus. IUDs containing hormones must be replaced annually, while copper IUDs can last up to 10 years.
- Intrauterine system (IUS)
The IUS is a small T-shaped device that is placed inside the uterus by a physician. It releases a small amount of hormone each day to prevent pregnancy.
- Nonsurgical sterilization
A thin tube is used to thread a tiny, spring-like device through the vagina to the uterus into each fallopian tube. A material in the device causes scar tissue to develop and permanently plug the tubes.
Surgery that results in the inability to become pregnant includes the following:
- Hysterectomy
A hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus and usually the ovaries and fallopian tube. This is a permanent form of birth control.
- Tubal ligation or tubal occlusion ("tying the tubes")
Tubal ligation is surgery to cut, cauterize, or band the fallopian tubes to prevent the egg from being transported to the uterus. Tubal ligation is designed to be a permanent method of birth control. Although certain types of tubal ligations can be reversed, the reversal procedure may not be successful.
- Tubal sterilization Essure system
This permanent form of birth control can be done as an outpatient procedure without a surgical incision. During the procedure, a thin tube is used to thread a tiny, spring-like device through the vagina to the uterus into each fallopian tube. A material in the device causes scar tissue to develop and permanently plug the tubes after about three months. Other forms of birth control must be used during that time and an X-ray or ultrasound must be done to confirm that the tubes are blocked.

Current smokers with cancer report more severe pain, more interference from pain
Wednesday, December 29, 2010 (Last Updated: 12/30/2010)
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 29 (HealthDay News) -- There may be an association between increased pain severity plus interference from pain and being a smoker in individuals with a cancer diagnosis, according to research published in the January issue of PAIN.
Joseph W. Ditre, Ph.D., of Texas A&M University in College Station, and colleagues analyzed self-reports of pain in 224 cancer patients about to begin chemotherapy to study the associations between multiple levels of smoking status and pain-related outcomes in this patient population.
The researchers found reports of more severe pain in those who continued to smoke after their cancer diagnosis than in patients who had never smoked. The current smokers also reported a greater level of interference from their pain than former or never smokers. Former smokers reported experiencing less pain with increased number of years since they quit.
"These data suggest that continued smoking despite a cancer diagnosis is associated with greater pain severity and interference from pain; however, future research is warranted to determine the directionality of this relationship," the authors write.

As a former manager of the Hardees in Lehigh Acres, FL that recently had to close its doors due to the economy, I sat here and read the reviews. First off, Hardees does NOT serve biscuits after breakfast is over. Their biscuits are made FRESH daily. They aren't frozen, they are made FRESH! Secondly, our chicken strips don't come in a 10 piece. Thirdly, they DO make the best burgers. With all that is on one of our burgers, how does one expect it to be "neat" when eating? As far as employees go, the reason that companies such as Hardees, McDonalds, etc, charge employees for meals is because that most of the employees tend to "walk off" with food most of the times!!
Yes, the customers are nasty for the most part, but its that way no matter where you go!! Customer service isn't what it used to be ANYWHERE these days. Restaurants are having to cut back on labor costs meaning there are LESS ppl in the restaurant to help you. Thing is.. at Hardees, your burgers are cooked TO ORDER!! That means that, they aren't PREMADE and left in a steamer or SITTING somewhere waiting for you to come and buy it!! Its made FRESH!
SO yea, you MAY have to wait a few minutes, especially if you're one of those morons that waits till you got to the drive through window, THEN realized that you didn't want Ketchup or Mayo on your sandwich. I've YET to see any of my employees take an order then tell the cook in the back.."Oh I had a thought! They don't want ketchup or mustard on that sandwich!"
So the next time you're writing one of these "reviews" and complaining that we "had no biscuits at 6:30 pm", Guess what genius, biscuits that are a BREAKFAST food, are THROW AWAY IMMEDIATELY when breakfast ends. They aren't sold at ANYTIME afterwards. To the employees that are complaining that they have to pay 50% for their meal, guess what? If you worked ANY other job other than food service, you would be brown bagging it!! Or going to the closest fast food joint.. PAYING for your meal.. FULL PRICE! None of these places HAVE to GIVE you food, with this economy, be glad to have a job! Not everyone is so lucky.
GRAFTON, NORTH DAKOTA -- I entered the drive through and placed an order for a single combo-meal. I was the second car in the lane. The vehicle I was driving has a large digital clock so the time was readily apparent throughout. I sat behind the other vehicle for a considerable period of time. After waiting for the staff to hand the person their food to the person in front of me, I watched as that vehicle sat in the drive through for another several minutes and talked with the restaurant staff. When I got to the window I inquired as to the wait. Their answer was that the previous customer had placed a large order and they only had one cook on duty.
I asked why they didnt have the person pull forward and why the continued delay even after they'd delivered the product. Their answer was they didnt have enough help to get it done sooner. Neither the person at the window or the manager offered an apology for the wait. Both were non responsive and neither offered any explanation for why the pickup sat there for the additional time and didnt receive any other items. I got an impression that I should have waited patiently no matter how long it took. Because of the extended length of time and rational offered by the Hardees staff and management, I left the restaurant without the food. Opting to go somewhere else.
I am trying to support a local entity and have returned to the restaurant in the past even though the establishment has been dirty and unkempt; many of the staff are often rude and/or non-responsive; and service is routinely slow. Additionally, I understand teen culture, but perhaps your staff could tuck their shirts in, turn their side-turned caps forward, and learn to take a customers order in a timely manner rather than talking on their cell phones or with another group in the corner. Im wondering how often an organization can regularly offer such sub-standard service and expect persons to return.
As a manager of a business in the same community I am sympathetic to those serving the public. It is not always easy. I understand the intricacies associated with customer service and appreciate the difficulty putting out a good product. I am empathetic with their plight, but what your staff offered was awful service and in the restaurant industry Id assume thats bad for business.
I have the opportunity to promote your business routinely when we bring groups in for in-services, training, and other related forums. I cannot in good conscience recommend to any of these individuals that they go to Hardees in Grafton for anything because its likely they will similarly get bad service. Nor can I suggest to any of our staff, volunteers, or affiliated agencies we work with to go to Hardees.
Rather Im inclined to share my experiences regarding the shoddy service and recommend that they go somewhere else. I have never written a letter in response to such an incident, but was compelled to do such because of your staff's antipathy and the substandard service received at the Hardees in Grafton, ND.
KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE -- Recent ads by Hardees restaurants are sexually explicit, disgusting, and very distasteful. How anyone could want a hamburger after these ads is beyond my understanding. I have given Hardees very little of my business since I heard a radio commercial a few months ago that had a teenage boy describing to another teenager how he and his girlfriend got to "make out" all because she could not resist the juice from the burger running down his face. But the latest is the final straw for me. During last Wednesday night's American Idol that I watch with my young daughter's, a Hardees ad came on that casts a beautiful blond wearing only a man's dress shirt and panties.
While she moved seductively and spoke with breathy words and moans as if she were seducing a man, she of course was eating a Hardees thickburger. I will be writing the Hardees Company to let them know of my disgust with them and that they have lost my business and that of my family, and I will be sharing with my friends how distasteful their ads have become.
As of today, the Hardees website is playing the lewd commercial I have described. Please use caution especially if you have children in your home. You can see for yourself just how far they have gone overboard. I went to the Hardees site to send a complaint, but due to the high volume of complaints, you cannot contact them via the web site. The comment section is currently "unavailable". But you can email Hardees at email@example.com or call them at 1-877-799-STAR to voice your concern.
Please help me to get Hardee's attention by putting out an alert to launch a full scale boycott of Hardees restaurants. I went to the American Family Association website to let them know about this and ask for their help at **. Another consumer concern site is my3cents.com. Thanks for your help and concern. Robert
SOUTH CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA -- I believe the cheeseburger I ate food poison me. On yesterday I was very sick at my stomach and had some dizziness. I am feeling the same today. I may have to go to hospital if don't get any better.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- They were always out of at least one item I wanted. The milkshake machine was never operating for an entire month. Two times they were out of coffee, diet Coke, and fries. Once they were out of chicken. Once they charged me $1 extra for white meat and gave me dark meat. The last time I went in they were out of hamburgers.
They need to quit spending so much money on their ridiculous advertising with naked girls and spend more time and effort on service and quality food. The wait time is unacceptable only to receive food that is poor quality. Their commercials are disgusting. I refuse to even eat there with their demeaning advertising.
CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE -- It doesn't matter what city & state the restaurants are in, their crude ads have sent me elsewhere to eat. What? Do they want us to come into their restaurants & dress & act like their ads? Do they want their customers to make out on their tables? Maybe they expect their employees to put on an x rated show for us? NO THANK YOU, HARDEES... You've lost my business.
COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA -- I was recently at a Hardee's on Piney Grove Rd., Columbia, SC trying to order a turkey burger. When I placed my order I had to wait 10 minutes. Then I was told that they could not fix me one because the meat was frozen. Also I was told that so few people ordered them that they did not unfreeze the meat. If they are not going to serve a turkey burger, it should not be on the menu. Also, it should not be one of the very, very large pictures on your website.

So unique. This must be the most unique ring I have ever seen. It's made of an intricately decorated piece of brass that is molded to fit over a silver shank accented with a faceted emerald stone. (The metals and stone were confirmed by a jeweler.) The marking inside is simply "China" which dates the piece to the early 1900s, an era of Chinese imports. The size is 11.5. The ring fits my index finger or thumb. If you are looking for something vintage and totally different, this item is perfect for you.
Another shopper has this item in their Cart or Wish List.

Abdurafik has been running his business for many years. He was only 12 when he started to help his mother with her market business, then afterward when he became an adult, he started his own business. In general he has 12 years of experience selling clothing. Currently, Abdurafik is requesting a loan of 800 USD to increase his inventory. He promises to repay the loan within 11 months. He believes that having this additional turnover capital will help him minimize his sales risk and provide stable financial support for his family. Moreover, it will help him get closer to his ultimate goal of purchasing a big store of his own.
More about Tajikistan and IMON International
Tajikistan is perhaps best known for its rich history, which includes a key post along the Silk Road; the end of Alexander the Great's rule; and with it's famous great thinkers, philosophers, scientists and poets as: Rudaki, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Firdousi, Omar Haiyam, Jomi, Mavlavi Rumi and many others. The country is home to communities that still speak the ancient Sogdian language, epic mountain passes, and a civilization that dates back to the 4th millennium BC. And, even today, it is a complex mixture of the Islamic faith, Soviet culture, New West culture and Central Asian traditions.
But, Tajikistan is also the poorest of the former Soviet republics. The civil war, which ignited soon after its independence from the U.S.S.R., further damaged the already weak economy. In addition, 93% of the country is mountainous and only 7% of the land is arable. These conditions have resulted in high levels of unemployment and have forced hundreds of thousands to seek work in other countries, mainly Russia. While the people of Tajikistan are working to improve its agricultural production and manufacturing sector, nearly two-thirds of the population still live in abject poverty.
IMON's History
Since December 2007, IMON International has worked closely with Kiva and Kiva lenders to ensure that poor and low income clients represent a viable business proposition. Funds raised through Kiva have already been distributed to thousands of IMON International's clients and will continue to provide thousands more with permanent access to the varied financial services they need.

Additional Information
About IMON InternationalIMON International (IMON) is a micro-deposit organization in Tajikistan that provides entrepreneurs with access to high quality financial products and services, including business loans, agriculture loans, consumer loans and micro-leases. Aiming to alleviate poverty, the organization helps unbanked individuals establish businesses in different sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture and service.

RICHARD P. HIMMER | The Currency of Trust: The Only Currency that Buys Happiness
GIG HARBOR - Have you ever held a conversation with someone, and when it ended, you don't know if anything you said or agreed to was understood or accepted? How many arguments pop up because we don't understand each other?
The other night my wife (Cheri) and I were driving through downtown Gig Harbor as she was telling me about the lunch she shared with her mom and sisters at Anthony's. I was tired, hungry, and when I asked her questions about the lunch and other sundry things pertaining to her family, I came off as angry and judgmental.
I was the only one unaware of the attitude. (Now Cheri was the only other person around, but you get the gist.) Later that evening, she let me know about my attitude. I acted shocked at her accusation, except it wasn't an act. I did not realize that my intonation reflected a negative tone and sucked the happiness out of our evening.
Each of us lives within a communication bubble or space. We invite people into our space when we talk or interface with them. The level of trust and respect dictates how far someone is allowed into our space. If you don't trust the person with whom you are conversing, how far do you allow her into your space?
Likewise, if you have trust and respect, then that space is considered safe and secure. You feel good about the space and you allow her closer to you.
Parents, your children obey you, not because they love you, they obey you because of trust and respect. Do you ever wonder why your child won't talk about his school or his friends with you? Ask yourself how you respond to your teenager when he tells you about things you don't like. If you typically tell him he's wrong and should get better friends, you violate the trust within your shared space.
Managers or sales professionals, do you ever get push back from those on your staff or from your prospects? Wanna know why? No trust and respect. When you tell people what they should do or buy, it's your idea and you are manipulating and persuading them to do something.
As such, it doesn't matter if they want your product or not, if they don't trust you and you're in sales, they will buy from your competitor. If you're the manager and you constantly tell people what to do, they will covertly avoid your space and even take great lengths to be somewhere you are not.
Richard P. Himmer is a Financial and Marriage Coach for PyrBlu, Inc. He can be reached at (253) 851-0350 or pyrblu.com.
Richard Himmer is hosting a community workshop on learning how to develop the skills associated with the Currency Of Trust. The full-day, city of Gig Harbor-sponsored classes will be Feb. 24 and 25 at the Wesley Inn (Best Western). Registration is open to the first 50 people. For cost, information, and to register, go to currencyoftrust.com.

Why settle for scooping up one tax-foreclosed property when you can nab say, 650 of them in one fell swoop? Of course, being a millionaire helped in the case of one Michigan man who plunked down $4.8 million to buy every foreclosed property in a recent county sale. All he had to do was pay off the total amount of back taxes owed, and voila! He's got a bunch of property and is the only one in county history to have pulled off such a feat. [More]

California Goes Gangbusters Against Abusive Lending, Passes Sweeping Foreclosure-Protection Law

California ain't kidding around. [More]
Condos Sold Without Owners' Permission For 1/3 Their Value
Imagine that you've recently purchased a condo for $100,000. The complex where it's located is about 90% rented, and 10% owner-occupied. The complex's owner struggles, and the whole neighborhood goes up for sale in a foreclosure auction. The new owners dissolve the condo association, since they own all of the rentals, or 90% of the homes in the complex. This gives the owners permission to sell the entire complex at once, including what used to be condos. Your proceeds from having your home sold out from under you: $33,000. You still owe the rest of your mortgage, but have nowhere to live. Condo owners in Reading, Pennsylvania experienced this nightmare recently, and there is no legal way out for them. [More]
