Heading in that directionMarch 29,2013
Heading in that direction
I certainly agree with Mr. Pappas column about town meetings that was in the paper several weeks ago. In communities like Northfield (and also Essex, judging from the comments of another letter writer), the town meeting simply serves the function of disenfranchising a large percentage of the electorate. In Northfield, for example, Im allowed to vote by ballot on the school budget, but unless I attend an arbitrarily scheduled meeting at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday morning, Im not allowed to vote on the town budget.
Now please understand, Im perfectly capable of reading the town report and deciding how I want to vote without going to a meeting to argue with anyone. And Northfield officials are glad to have my money, but they apparently dont want it to be easy for me to vote on the matter. I really believe the purpose is to keep control of town affairs in the hands of a few.
And, by the way, where did the term Australian ballot ever come from? I have voted by secret ballot all my life and never heard that term until I moved to Vermont. I always thought voting by ballot was as much American in origin as coming from anywhere else. But it does seem like a foreign concept in parts of Vermont.

In an effort to respond to scientific advances in reproductive and genetic technologies and to the profound social, ethical, legal, and health questions they raise, the Canadian government established the Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies in 1989. The commission submitted a comprehensive report, Proceed with Care, in 1993 that outlined 293 far-reaching recommendations for legislation. These recommendations are divided into three broad areas of concern: the need to prohibit problematic reproductive and genetic technology practices, the need to regulate and manage these technologies at a national level, and the need to focus on infertility prevention as a health issue.
In July 1995, the Canadian government called for a voluntary moratorium on nine new reproductive technologies (NRTS) that caused serious social and ethical concerns. This moratorium included a request to medical and research communities to refrain from using sex selection for non- medical purposes, commercial preconception or surrogacy arrangements, ectogenesis, and the cloning of human embryos. The moratorium was designed as an interim measure until legislation was put in place. The Advisory Committee on the Interim Moratorium on Reproductive Technologies was established by the Canadian government in January 1996. This committee, currently called the Advisory Committee on New Reproductive and Genetic Technologies, continues to provide feedback to the government on managing the technologies.

Luxor Safaga Cruise Port
How to get to Luxor
Luxor is about a three and a half hour drive from Safaga, so you will likely visit as part of an organized shore excursion, often one that includes an overnight stay in Luxor. If you prefer to go independently, a taxi may run as much as $100 each way and must be arranged in advance. Either way, you will travel as part of a police-escorted convoy through the desert to Luxor.
One Day in Luxor
Most shore excursions will include Luxor's three must-see sights: Luxor Temple, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings. Visiting all three will easily fill up your entire day.
Located in the heart of the city on the east bank of the Nile, Luxor Temple was built by pharaohs Amenhotep III and Ramses II in the 14th and 13th centuries B.C. Entering the temple, you will pass between two enormous seated statues of Ramses II on your way to the courts of the two pharaohs. Don't miss the chapel of Alexander the Great toward the back of the temple, which includes images of Alexander as an Egyptian pharaoh.
Egypt's second most visited tourist site, Karnak is a vast complex covering 2 square kilometers, making it the largest ancient religious site in the world. The primary temple, the Temple of Amun, is the largest religious structure ever built – St. Peter's, Notre Dame and Milan Cathedrals would all fit inside. You will likely feel overwhelmed as you enter the complex through the massive Hypostyle Hall, lined with 134 columns, the largest of which are 21 meters tall and over 3 meters in diameter. Spend an hour or two at the complex exploring the array of smaller temples, sanctuaries and shrines.
The Valley of the Kings is located on the west bank of the Nile and contains the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs and nobles from the 16th to 11th centuries B.C. Many of the tombs were opened and robbed in ancient times, but extensive hieroglyphics and colorful frescoes remain in some, giving visitors an idea of how they may have looked centuries ago. An entry ticket to the Valley of the Kings generally allows you to enter three tombs of your choice, although they are not all open at the same time. Visiting the tomb of King Tutankhamun costs extra. No cameras are allowed inside the tombs, a rule that is enforced very strictly.
If you are staying in Luxor overnight, try a felucca ride on the Nile just before sunset and then head back to Karnak for an evening sound and light show. Alternatively, you might try your hand at bargaining in the market before returning to Luxor Temple to see it lit up at night.

I have a website that tries to keep up on magic news and generally encourage the performance and appreciation of magic. It does not reveal secrets and, for the most part, is positive in its approach to covering tricks, websites, magicians and other offerings. I am always looking for story ideas about magicians, new effects, new ways of doing old things, innovative sites or anything that might interest someone who loves magic.

Eagles down Georgia in OT 62-60
Dwayne Davis' breakaway layup with 31 seconds remaining in overtime off teammate Michael Craig's steal gave Southern Miss a 62-60 victory over Georgia Thursday night.ATHENS, Ga. - Senior guard
Jerrold Brooks led the Golden Eagles (2-0) with 17 points, and Davis added 14. Southern Miss won its season-opener in overtime as well, beating Western Kentucky 67-64.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope led Georgia (1-2) with 17 points, and Nemanja Djurisic added 12.
Georgia scored the first basket of the game on Vincent Williams' 3-pointer, but the Golden Eagles scored the next 15 points, capped by Neil Watson's breakaway layup. Southern Miss held the lead until the last 82 seconds.
With just over two minutes remaining in regulation, Georgia trailed 55-50 when the shot-clock buzzer sounded erroneously, stopping play. On the inbounds play, Djurisic hit his second 3-pointer. At 1:49, he tied the game 55-55 with a short jumper. Those were the last points of regulation.

My experience
Cashier/Sales (Current Employee),
Dunnville Ontario
August 14, 2013
not enough hours/ poor pay
Working at Pet Valu there are many responsibilities.
A typical day at work for me is making sure the animals have fresh food and water and their cages are presentable for when customers come into the store.
I have learned many new things about different types of animals and nutritional facts about them so I can provide my best knowledge to any questions a customer may have, about what certain foods or medications they are thinking about for their animal.
The management at Pet Valu is great. Being a corporate store we do have a lot of pressure on us to meet certain sale requirements and if we aren't meeting them there is always a lot of help to try new things to find what will work best for all of us employees.
My co- workers are great, we all get along and we all work together to get the job done!
The hardest part of my job is when my manager is away on holidays, I take on most of the responsibilities to make sure the store is kept the way is should be.
The most enjoyable part of my job is getting to interact with new people everyday, helping them, listening to them, and also meeting there pets.

AVOID if possible, unethical company!
Manager (Former Employee),
ontario, Canada
February 23, 2015
great nutritional training
everything else about the company
Work/Life Balance: if you're a store manager or district manager, there is no balance at all....Pet Valu monopolizes your time. It's not uncommon for managers and DMs to receive calls, emails and texts multiple times on their days off. Additionally, new hires are expected to complete over 40 hours of online training UNPAID and on their own time!
Salary: very low considering the expectations for store staff and managers. Manager's wages are based on store's sales, so if you have the misfortune of landing a low volume store, your wage will reflect (even though that is beyond your control and you're still do the same amount of work as someone managing a high volume store). In franchise stores the owners set the wages and this can either work in the employee's favor or disadvantage depending on the franchisee, Head Office does not regulate franchise wages.
Job Security/Advancement: as a company, Pet Valu rarely promotes from within, turnover is alarmingly high-even for retail- and as an employee you do not feel valued. It's a very stressful place to work because you never know from one day to the next if you will be fired. It appears great employees are terminated for no reason...often.
Management: some store managers are worried about keeping their jobs while others do a terrible job and are kept on for some bizarre reason. The management styles of store managers vary from store to store, some are more positive (usually newer managers) while others are all doom and gloom. As for district managers, they each have their own agenda and will help store managers if it 'works into
their plans' (I've heard that term used countless times). If it's not to the district manager's benefit, they will not help store managers grow with the company and in store instances, will actively prevent managers from moving up.
Training: very outdated methods, lack of in store training. The corporate recruiter has never worked in a store and creates training 'checklists' from her desk at head office. Franchise owners are given a very involved training program but it is up to them to implement the training in their stores and pass the information onto their team and often times they don't, which leaves staff confused and unclear on the expectations and execution of tasks.
Job Culture: unpleasant, everyone has their own agendas, a lot of gossip. If your Manager or District Manager doesn't want you to move up in the company...you won't. As mentioned previously, it's a stressful place to work because you're always looking over your shoulder and wondering if you're going to be next to get fired. Most stores have small teams and there have been several times when staff has to receive either part, or an entire, truck alone due to being short handed. Head Office provides very little support to stores and managers are pretty much on their own. The mentality at the store level is very much "corporate vs. franchise." Pet Valu does an excellent job of bending over backwards to accommodate the franchisees' needs/wants, but at the expense of corporate stores. –

Educational environment with focus on customer satisfaction and pet health
Pet Care Specialist (Current Employee),
Renfrew, ON
January 9, 2015
friendly atmosphere, small workforce, great customers
minimum wage, no benefits unless full-time, rarely hire full-time, management hard to contact
I had grown up wanting to work at "the pet store" (Pet Valu) as animals are not only a passion for me but a hobby. So saying I love my job is very much true. I love the close relationships you can nurture with regular customers and the opportunities you get to learn as much as you can about the products you are selling. Pet Valu offers a lot of knowledgeable information on Pet health and nutrition so our customers can be confident in what they are buying.
Being in a small store with less staff has proven beneficial as it provides a more trusting and fun environment but has also proven to be difficult to cover staff when one or more are sick.
The hardest part of my job, oddly enough, has nothing to do with the work I am to do on a daily basis and what is expected of me but the total lack of effort on Pet Valu's part towards their employees. It saddened me to see Pet Valu take a different approach and direction as it seems to be losing focus not only on it's employees but the customers as more pressure is pushed on employees to force customers to buy more. This proves hard when from a small town and most of the customers are regulars. I will have worked with the company 5 years in April 2015 and despite my best efforts and proving (by taking over an managers position for 3 months while keeping the store running smoothly) myself It seems almost impossible to advance within the company any further.
They keep their employees trapped at part-time where wage raises are capped without further hope to gain more, where the work load is more then what you are paid. As I previously stated
I have been with the company happily for 5 years April, I am still currently at minimum wage. This does not offer me much choice in having to rethink my future with the Pet Valu company which is very regretful as I love this job.
The most enjoyable part of my job is definitely the customers and their pets. I love getting to know the people who come into the store and making both their pet and them happy. The great learning opportunity Pet Valu offers is great as well. –

Awful, awful, awful.
Keyholder (Former Employee),
Winnipeg, MB
October 23, 2014
animals are fun
cruel upper management, low pay, long hours
I worked at Pet Valu for over a year and during that time I had never felt so put off by a workplace. (I worked in retail for over four years before being employed by this store, so I'm pretty well versed in how frustrating customer-facing roles can be. Pet Valu went above and beyond this.)
First off, my interview was conducted in March of 2014 and I was not contacted until August of 2014. The manager at the time called me and said my first day was the next day. (I lated found out I would be replacing someone that was about to be fired.)
Second, the district sales manager is, as someone else said, not the nicest person. (This is a huge understatement.) Myself and three of my colleagues send harassment claims about her to Human Resources. (These claims were never addressed, as far as I've heard.)
My store manager was moved to another store after being given THREE DAYS NOTICE. The new manager was constantly cruel to me and threatened my job weekly. He gave me write-ups for made-up reasons and ridiculed me in front of my co-workers and customers.
When I was hired, my position was sales associate. I was going to school at the time and only wished to work 20 hours a week. I ended up doing many other things such as paperwork, scheduling and the occasional order. I was also given 40 hours a week, even after asking to be given less. Throughout this, I only made minimum wage. In fact, when minimum wage in Manitoba went up from $10 to $10.40 an hour, payroll did not notice or apply the change to my paycheck for four months. They also went on to blame me for not telling them about
minimum wage increases.
In short, Pet Valu is unappreciative and at times, terribly cruel to their front end associates. The only things I enjoyed about my time there were working with and educating people about animals, and some of the other sales associates I made friends with. Aside from that, this place is nothing but trouble. –

Retail done differently
Sales Associate and Cashier (Former Employee),
Toronto, ON
June 3, 2014
meeting a new animal friends
higher-up management, constant changes of management
A typical day of work consisted of the opening procedure of the store, counting the money, dealing with customers, acting as both the cashier and sales associate, and finally closing the store. That closely summarizes the typical job at Pet-Valu, such as simple and straight-forward, however I would like to add that Pet-Valu is much more than just that. Pet-Valu is a retail job at a much slower pace with the advantage of dealing with the occasional pet that walks in. Mainly, the job consisted of up-selling certain products over others and educating the customer with the best choices.
Advantages consisted of working with sweet and gentle co-workers, as well as having time to relax and have things done at a certain pace. Since Pet-Valu isn't a huge retail store, employees get to meet, interact and work with management on a daily basis and communicate whatever difficulties they may have.
However, I can't say that working at Pet-Valu is perfect either. There is lots to learn while on the job. Training consists of hours of training videos and workbooks to learn the basics of all types of animal nutrition to teach the customers. However without prior knowledge and experience with all types of animals, giving advice to customers regarding certain things can be difficult.
Furthermore, since some locations are franchised and others corporate, there are differences between the two. I have worked in both types, where the franchised owner is on top of everything related to money and as an employee, you learn to be very careful with how you count money. While in corporate, the higher-ups
are constantly changing managers around to where they were better 'suited'. So a big disadvantage would be getting used to dealing with different managers and changes in corporate. –

tons of dogs, really good manager, good hours
small back room
Working on a day to day bases was amazing there are sometimes where you are busy sometimes where you are slow and sometimes where there are no customers at all, this is a nice balance, it gives you the time to clean the store and put things away but it also doesn't leave you bored. I learned a lot and still learn a lot working in this job, when I first started I had to do about 16 hours of training just to start working and we continue to learn about new things new products and how to help in every day work life. My manager was the best manager i could have ever asked for or wanted. My manager is very understanding, compassionate and sensitive towards his customers and his employees. My co-workers were good I created a bond with them while working with them. the hardest part of the job is when a customer is just out to prove that they know more about a product then you. I have had this happen to me several time just cause you a food on a commercial doesn't mean it is the best food alive for your dog or cat. In these situation it can become very frustrating as I know what the wrong type of food can do to your cat and/or dog. Another part of the job that is hard is when people come into the store and they may not be treating the dog in the best way possible, unfortunately there is nothing that you can do for that dog and have to just try and get the owner to understand that a dog should be treated like one of the family. Now the most ENJOYABLE part of the job was see dogs come into the store and walk out happy and proud. At the pet valu that i work at there is a self serve dog
wash, dogs come in all muddy and dirty and walk out nice and clean. Also you get a ton of doggy kisses and doggy love. –

Not happy with management
Store Manager (Former Employee),
Ottawa, ON
August 29, 2012
good pay. nice atmosphere, great product training.
long hours, short staffed, unpleasent managers.
The higher management does not listen to employee suggestions and puts too much pressure on store managers.
My experience was great except for the fact that my district manager was not very nice, did not give me any praise for my hard work and was always telling me what was best for the store when realistically he was not the one in the store dealing with day to day customers and experiences.
He really made me feel incompetent when I was working my butt off for the company for many years.
Higher management needs to be supervising and training their district managers to be sure they are treating their staff well.
I dreaded speaking to my boss, it was always negative comment after negative comment, sarcasm and no praise.
I had dealt with a few district managers during my employment and 2 of the 3 were not pleasant.
I feel Pet Valu has come a long way after being bought out by a US company. They are doing a good job with revamping stores, opening new stores and focusing on sales.
They should not get so money hungry that they forget about the friendly customer service aspect.
Its all about the customer, greeting them, informing them, asking about their pets..etc.
It should NOT all be about selling them higher priced merchandise and more and more items.

Great Company to expand personal knowledge, with some limitation for advancement
Sales Associate (Current Employee),
London, ON
June 21, 2015
Great environment, excellent training, well informed and knowledgeable staff, Passion for animals
management, little opportunity for growth
I have loved working for Pet Valu, and have attained an extensive amount of knowledge about proper pet care and nutrition. This far exceeded my expectations and before I knew it, I was solving health issues for pets that often times hadn't even been solved by the customer's vet. I also learned how to create better customer relationships and sales techniques as they truly encouraged selling with passion. My only setback with Pet Valu is that they are only able to have one full time employee (Who already has 10+ years of experience and they intend to keep her) which doesn't provide any opportunity to grow with the company, as I so wish I could. The other team members there are excellent which provides for a great work environment. This job is overall extremely rewarding as many animals are helped, along with their owners. We also provided many homes for animals currently in local rescues, shelters, and foster homes. I am proud to say Pet Valu has donated an extensive amount of money, time, and pet supplies to these shelters too. As well, using their location as a host for the rescues to have adoption events.

Hard work, but excellent training
Assistant Manager (Former Employee),

training program
salary, delivery, inflexible with shifts
**I worked for Pet Valu the corporation, not a franchise. This review is strictly based on working at a corporate location. **
Pet Valu has an excellent training program. I felt very confident with the knowledge they armed me with for dealing with customers. They had exams that every employee was required to take, as well as seminars that were put on by the different pet food companies.
It can be a lot of hard work. It's not just front end work like a lot of people expect. A lot of it is dealing with delivery; hauling bag after bag of 40lb dog food bags (or cat litter!) onto shelves that are well over your head.
Pet Valu, for an 8 hour shift, gives you one unpaid 30 min break...and that's it. They say that you can have 2 15's...but if you try and take one you're in a lot of trouble. You're constantly on call (no matter what your position is), the district manager (at the time) was not a very nice person (trying to be polite here). That's not just my opinion, it was known chain-wide.
Basically it's a good place to work if you don't mind being used a bit. They do teach you a lot about nutrition, but they work you like a dog and pay you very little for it.
Oh, and corporate sold our store to a franchiser even though they promised they wouldn't...so job security is kind of shaky.

great educational experience. lot of learning with online training-however done on your time!
see above!
Sales Associate, Temporary (1 year contract)-this current post (May 2013) for store 2130 in Arnprior is an advertisement for my former job.
Worked here for 1 year and a few months...with no idea of when contract was actually up, and no commitment from District Manager!!! If you want to do all the work, with no help from fellow staff..then this is the job for you. Do not expect flexibility with this position. Do not expect to have time off with this position.
Poor Management, disrespectful, rude district manager, no concern for staff or staff needs. Pathetic pay with even more pathetic pay increases. Difficult to get paperwork out of upper management. Expect long hours. Expect no time off. Expect no weekends off. Expect no home or personal life. Expect difficulties if you challenge any of these!
Advice to Senior Management – Get a grip! Pay workers what they deserve, that's more incentive than any! And a pat on the back once in a while wouldn't go amiss either! Lighten up on your staff and allow more flexibility...I took this job on the understanding of occasional weekends, not EVERY weekend.

meeting new people
weekend hours only
A typical day at work involved either opening or closing the store every shift. I provided customer service to a diverse amount of people. We were responsible for feeding and cleaning up after the animals. Every day we stocked the shelves and kept track of inventory. I learned a lot of responsibility while working at Pet Valu because I was given such large responsibilities such as a key to the store and the job of ensuring the tills were balanced and closing up properly. Also because I became in charge of training some of our new employees. My coworkers were also very diverse people who were supportive and helpful. Many of them are still my friends today although we no longer work together. The management could have been more understanding and easier to approach, they were not forgiving when it came to things such as school hours, which is something to me that is very important. The hardest part of the job would have been the heavy lifting and transporting. The most enjoyable part was providing the customer service and helping the ones in need. Also getting to know the regular ones. I really enjoyed interacted with the staff and customers.

Meeting new people and petting their pets.
I don't know where to start
I worked hard for these horrible corporate people for 10 long years of my life. How they thanked me was by letting me go. They gave me the same lame excuse that they give to employees that they have no use of anymore which was "We are going in a different direction". I had 6 different District Managers in 5 years, they come and go. Each one of them come in to your store, and boss you around as if they know everything, they tell you to move things around and look down on you, and leave. It happens with every new district manager, and people from the head office. They suck the life out of you, they expect you to put your life on hold for Petvalu. Your hard work is not even appreciated, and you don't even get a raise, you'll be luck to get a ten cent raise. They should run a chain of sweat shops not a chain of pet stores. In spite of all that, I really miss my coworkers and my regular customers whom I become too attached to. A few of them still call me once in a while to chat, and I always hear that a lot of them still ask for me and say "Hi". If you want to keep your sanity stay away from Petvalu, go get a real job where you can get somewhere.

Can be a fun place to work.
Sales associate (Current Employee),
Whitby, ON
December 28, 2014
For the first five years I worked there it was a great place to work. It was a very friendly work environment and very customer service oriented. I also love the fact that we dealt with several animal rescues adopting out cats, small animals, and hosting adoption days where we showcased dogs for adoption. Now that there is a new store owner some of the new staff are not as customer service oriented and we have started selling animals instead of getting them from rescues. We still have cats for adoption from a rescue, but no longer small animals. Because each Pet Valu store has different owners whether its corporate or franchise, the work environment in each store tends to be very different. At the start of my job I was required to do some training in animal nutrition which has helped me a lot. Even though I have taken an animal nutrition course in school this went beyond that by teaching me the differences in food qualities, as well as the benefits of different types of food. Overall I had a good work experience at Pet Valu but I feel the work environment is changing.

Animals, Regular Customer & Most Employees
Everything Else...
These people can't make up their minds, they keep trash people and fire good people with the lame "the company is going in a different direction".
Upper management has no knowledge of actually running a retail store, they don't work in them and won't learn to work in them. You work hard for minimum wage, often alone.
No chance for advancement, but they'll let you run the store for less than the actual store manager makes. That's called taking advantage!!! Don't ask to transfer, you will be treated new, with same pay and barely any hours.
There is NO praise within this company. You are not allowed to be creative and everything is "store standards".
Never complain about a fellow employee, nothing will be done! As well, don't get pregnant ladies, you are still expected to do this physical job with no help... and if you want reduced physical work, you need to provide notes throughout your pregnancy.
You have a better chance at any one of this company's competitors!

the pets that visit the store
horrible owner/management
A typical work day was working extremely long, illegal shifts(Scheduled for shifts where you would be alone for longer than 5 hours without a break), facing product, extreme amounts of heavy lifting, no respect from management just complaints.
Owner was useless and did not know anything about his company not even how to open or close the store if needed in an emergency.
Co-workers were decent, The only plus of the job but a few of them were useless and not provided proper training by management. Management just gossiped about everyone and did ZERO managing what so ever. Kind of the worst I've seen in my years.
Also required to come in on days off for "meetings" that lasted an hour but by law in Ontario when you are called into work you should be paid a minimum of three hours even if only there for an hour.
Paychecks were regularly wrong, as well as stat pay for more than one employee.
Literally ZERO desire to ever work for Pet Valu MARCH RD ever again.

I really enjoyed working at Pet Valu, A typical day at work was greeting all the customers as they walk in the door and asking them if they needed any help finding anything, I was also responsible for cleaning the work space (sweep, mop, dust, ect.) I would work alone most days so I was responsible of the whole store, re-stocking shelves, checking out customer, processing returns and helping the customer find what they needed. I learned a lot working at pet valu like how to use the till and money management skills, I also learned about animals and types of food for them. The hardest part of my job was memorizing all the food but after a while it sticks into your brain. My co-workers were very nice and we never had any problems it was a very good working environment. The most enjoyable part of my job was when I helped a customer find something or understand something because when I saw them happy it made me feel like I helped them and so it made me happy.

A normal day involves maintaining the store - facing, cleaning, remerchandising, etc.

The management was outstanding. They took into consideration our suggestions, even letting us take complete lead on some substantial projects. They were approachable, and helpful, and treated you like more than a subordinate.
My co-workers were friendly, and easy to get along with. They were hard workers, and made sure to ask questions when they weren't sure.
I have nothing bad to say about the job at all. It's very enjoyable. The work is not hard, but you need to know a lot about the products, because you want to provide the right answers. Even learning was fun.

Store manager was unable to keep staff on a consistent schedule with similar hours week to week. Store manager would ask you if you're interested in full-time but never advance you along, just a pass off their daily duties onto you with no incentive, advancement or appreciation. Store manager does not follow the Company's guidelines because they're too busy trying to impress corporate and the District Sales Manager. Store manager does not do training in Grimsby location, pawned off onto other staff then lays blame when something goes wrong or a mistake occurs.
For a staff of 5-6, the amount of rumours and gossip amongst staff, about customers and even the rescues they work with was unreal.

Great community, Feel good work, flexible hours
Full time is rare, no benefits, no room for promotion
The atmosphere at pet valu is great. The workers are friendly and the customer base is ordinarily pleasant. You get to work with cats from the humane society which is great for cat lovers. The amount you can learn in a sort period of time about pet products is crazy. If you have pets at home you can apply the knowledge learned to your own pets health. There is even a paid time frame given to new employees to complete pet video courses provided from the university of california. All of these things are great; however, the stores are normally full for employment. It is hard to not only be hired on full time but, also be promoted with more responsibility and higher pay.

I had a client who came in not happy with what another company had offered to him. So I ask him all the questions just to be able to know exactly what he was looking for. After an half an hour I finally showed him what he needed and the client left happy. The next day he came back and thank me for the good service and the right product. There's nothing that makes me happier then having a client leaving my store happy. So that is one thing I love about customer service.
I learned that if you give your 100% at your job every day that you will full fill a lot in your life and you learn a lot of things.

This was easy and a nice change. Served with grilled Lobster tails and Snow Crab legs for Valentines Day, and it paired well. Although my son didn't seem to like it as much as I thought he would, but I will make it again.
This was easy to put together and tasted good. I only used about 2 T parmesan (that was all I had left), which was ok because I served it with Chinese Simmer Chicken and I don't think I would have paired well with the right amount of cheese. This did need salt and I would have liked a set amount mentioned. I did use chicken broth.
This was really good and so easy...kindof like a fancy mac and cheese...
This was a very easy recipe and very tasty. I did this in a cast iron pan so just put that into the oven using just one dish. Served with Parmesan Sage Pork Chops. Great meal.
This has a real stick to your ribs comfort root quality. Very savory and filling.
We loved this! It is a nice side dish and definitely different than the usual potato, rice, pasta sides. Next time I may even throw in some peas towards the end. I did cut it down to 1 T of butter, no other changes were made. Great as a side for our fish.
This was so easy to make! The pasta was extra soft. I didn't have fresh parsley so I just used dried. I also added some extra parm on top when I served it.
My husband, 3 year old and I all loved this recipe. I have made a similar recipe before on the stovetop but this is much easier as it cooks hands-off. The only change I will make in the future is to add the parsley after it has cooked. I don't like how it looks after being in the oven for 30 minutes.
This is delicious..love the 'softness' of the pasta...and nice flavour with the added parmesan..thanks for sharing.

Baldwinsville A group of Baldwinsville seventh-graders has memorialized a friend with a special collage at Ray Middle School.
Wayne Dodge, who would have been a seventh-grader at the school this year, passed away in December 2010. Last year several of his classmates decided the best way to honor his memory would be to create a symbol of his spirit.
Under the supervision of art teacher Debra Lynch and school social worker Jill Joseph, students spent time after school over the last two years to create clay tiles with etchings of cranes on them that they have assembled as a collage. They chose to honor Wayne with the crane because it is a symbol of hope. The collage is now on display in the school's main hallway.
Students who created the memorial are Jody Allen, Jacob Bardenett, Tyler Bausch, Amanda Byrns, Miranda Clark, James Coomey, Maia Falise, Destiny Gardner, Paul Schmid, and Gabrielle Sellin, Wayne's cousin.

It's been a while since I last did a review on T3 Leads Affiliate Network. I was contacted by my rep there and they've had a lot of changes and improvements to the system since that last review. A new look and feel, new offers and a variety of promotional methods is what T3 Leads is all about.
What makes T3 Leads stand out from other networks is how they allow you to capture leads in different ways, and not just giving you a simple url for each ad campaign. Instead, you are given a selection of lead gen forms which you can customize and work with. The new setup at T3 Leads is using a 1 and 2 step process for building out campaigns with lead gen forms. You have the option to host these forms on your own landing pages, or simply send traffic to the advertisers landing page. Full customization includes fields, sizing, placement, one or two step forms and with or without your own landing page creative.
A screenshot of the form selection process from within T3 Leads is shown below.
While the lead gen form process is a pretty cool concept, it's only available for a limited amount of campaigns. Outside of the lead gen forms, T3 Leads offers more campaigns with banner advertising, host and post options and direct linking.
As you can see from what we went over so far, T3 Leads is focused on lead gen. The majority of offers on their network are towards payday loans, car loans and warranties, home mortgages, debt relief and insurance. A few screenshots of actual offer landing pages can be seen below.
The navigation of the site can be confusing if you are logging in for the first time. I would like to see an easier navigation system and more to the point on how to setup new campaigns, and one click access to view advertiser landing pages. Instead of directly seeing ad campaigns when you log in, you need to go through some sub pages and tracking methods. (ie: Channels > Public Websites)
Another complication is trying to find what the payouts are on the offers with the network. Since most of these offers are on a lead gen basis, the quality of lead can determine the amount of your commission… so each commission of yours may vary in amount. This however can heavily work for or against you, depending on the type of quality leads you are sending through. If you are sending great data, they are willing to pay a higher range, and this works out for both the network, advertiser and affiliate.
All in all, T3 Leads might not have the best looking admin area but the focus is there. Affiliates want to be able to setup ad campaigns and landing pages how they want, and through T3 Leads and their improved ad platform, this is possible. For anyone in the lead gen business and in the areas discussed earlier, you should get in contact with T3 Leads.

Outsourcing the AI
In a lot of games, mobs are theoretically trying to kill you. In many of them, it doesn't really feel like they're trying to kill you. Often, it seems more like they're going through the motions of pretending to put up a fight before they die, and trying to be manipulated into doing something stupid.
There are reasons for this, of course. PvE content is generally meant to be beaten. But mobs often die in such stupid and predictable ways that it seems that they're not taking their job seriously.
Perhaps the biggest attraction of PvP is that it feels like the other players really are trying to kill you. That is, of course, because they are. Other players are often smart enough to learn from mistakes and vary their tactics.
The answer, of course, is smarter and less predictable AI. It's not easy to randomly conjure up better AI, however. The question isn't whether to improve the AI, but how.
My answer is to let the players design the AI. At first glance, that probably sounds absurdly impractical. I'll concede that it would be difficult to pull off. Let me explain how I think it can be done.
Each mob in a typical MMORPG has some AI associated with it. This controls how the mobs react. This can include what makes them decide to attack, what makes them give up and leave, which attacks they use, when they use each attack, how they choose which player to target, and a variety of other factors.
A company presumably has some internal tools to set up the parameters for each mob or linked group of mobs. What the company could do is to allow a huge number of AI parameters, and then allow players to fill in particular values for various mobs or groups of mobs. Each mob could have not just a fixed set of skills, but several skills available from which players could pick which few particular skills the mob will actually have available.
Let players set parameters and then try a sample fight against the mobs in a separate before submitting the parameters. That's essential in letting players figure out which parameters do what, and learning how to give the mobs AI that works reasonably well.
Make it so that there is a considerable cost (in the in-game currency, henceforth "gold") to submitting an AI for mobs. That will prevent players from randomly submitting a bunch of stupid AI parameters to make mobs ridiculously dumb.
Conversely, reward players for writing successful AI. Each time a mob kills a player, give a small amount of gold the player who wrote the AI that that particular mob used. Make it enough that the amount of money paid out for each particular type of mob is the same as the amount players paid in to create the AI. (This may require dynamically adjusting both the cost of submitting an AI and the payout for killing players with it, both of which would vary from one mob to another, but I won't bore you with particular formulas.)
The AIs that mobs use in a particular period of time should be the ones that were relatively successful in the previous period of time, as well as any new ones created in that time. Thus, a player who finds ways to make the mobs fight effectively could have his AI stay around for a long time. One that only leads to mobs dying and never killing anything could quickly be removed from the system. Not only would players be rewarded for building a smart AI, but the mobs that players in the game fight would mostly use the better AI parameters that players had come up with.
There are two different reasons to take this approach. The first has already been discussed: smarter and more varied AI. If, when you approach a mob, it has 20 different AIs written and you don't know which it will use, that makes the mob far less predictable. Players wouldn't know whether mobs will chase them, hold their ground, or even try to kite the player. Neither would they know which particular skills the mob has, nor the timing with which it will use which skills. For group content, players wouldn't know which group member(s) the mobs will target. Even after fighting mobs, all of those parameters could be totally different the next time the player fights identical looking mobs. Having to react on the fly to mobs doing unexpected things would give more of a PvP feel to PvE content.
The other reason is that writing AI would itself be an interesting subgame to certain players. Most players would lack the aptitude to write intelligent AI, of course. Many of those that remain would lack the interest. Still, trying to kill players as mobs would be a challenge rather different from anything else on the market. If done right, there would be a relative handful of players who really liked it. That is all it takes to write more AI than the game needs.
Interesting idea, and at the very least something different from the "normal" MMO experience.
This could be challenging to implement for a theme-park style game, especially if doing it became popular. I only say that because IMO AIs would need to work together. If Mob A runs to Mob B for help but because of different AIs Mob B doesn't aggro what was the point? Unfortunately I can see that being something common place under this system.
OTOH, in any game where players fight for and defend territory, I think this would be a very welcome addition though slightly modified. For this a guild could assign AIs to various defensive structures or NPCs anywhere they control. Maybe a small fee for "training" but the reward would be that a well programed NPC is less likely to die (saving the cost of replacing them). The previously mentioned problem is now gone because a single party controls the AI for an area.Tue Jan 06 2009 11:29PM Report
Anytime there are mobs that are linked to each other and intended to fight together, it would be a single AI set all written by one person that controls the entire group of mobs.
On the other hand, players would have no means to make the AI go grab additional mobs outside of the small set of linked mobs. Otherwise, the optimal strategy would be to make everything in the entire zone all zerg one player all at once.
I do think this could work just fine in a "theme park" game. Indeed, that's largely what I had in mind when writing the post. If a quest tells you to go kill five groups of furbolgs, each group might have been assigned a different AI, and thus react differently when you approach and attack. Each group would have no impact on the other groups, and no way to summon the others for aid.Wed Jan 07 2009 1:50AM Report
Aw I actually liked places where the last member of a mob group would run off to get help. Or even when each of them did so independently after some trigger (<30% health for example) was reached. Then again, I guess you could use a kite command in the AI to nearly accomplish the same thing.Wed Jan 07 2009 2:56AM Report
i think pvp cant really be compared with pve
i remember lineage 2 pvp where i chased / or got chased by my opponent over very wide distances using trees and bolders to break the line of sight, shouting in vent for my guildies to mass up/ teleport to location x. also i took into considderation the equipment, class, level and known playstyle of the opponent.
actually i dont believe that a played programmed ai would be much different from the ai we see alreaddy implemented in the game.
chasing and kiting mobs also will make a problem bringing the mob out of its environment wether its kiting a high lvl mob into a low lvl area to wreck havock or just kind of trapping mobs somewhere where they cant go back easily.Wed Jan 07 2009 4:10AM Report
There would, of course, have to be restrictions on what players could set parameters to. For example, there could be a hard cap of, a mob will not chase beyond a particular distance, and if it tries, it will de-aggro and go all the way back to its spawn location, and be invulnerable while returning.
Without restrictions, there could be a lot of ways that players could mess up the system. That's why it would be hard to make it work right. But any particular problem that players could cause would be fixable.
Would this system be indistinguishable from pvp? Of course not. But it would feel a lot closer to pvp than a lot of the AI out there now.Wed Jan 07 2009 4:17AM Report
its a new idea i will give you that but there is problems with it.
Who is going to read and test all these hundreds to thousands of submited AI settings..
That would take even more time to have a dev/testers sitting there going thru all the submitted stuff to find out if its to tough for the area or no hard enough, or if one or more things will make it not work correctly.
To much time and money would be invested into something the devs could do themselves and know it works..
But like i said its a new orig idea, i just cant see it ever working.Wed Jan 07 2009 6:04AM Report
You know, if the devs provided base scripts which players could use to make their behaviors, it might work. this would help to ensure the behaviors mesh with the actual world mobs.
To be sure, there would be balance and content issues, but any idea worth merit usually has issues to be solved. Just because current MMO's cannot support such an idea doesn't mean that future games couldn't.
Such a system would go along way to add more intricate player modding capabilities to online games and take some of the content burden off of cash and idea strapped development teams once this idea is made workeable. It has potential.Wed Jan 07 2009 7:37AM Report
I think its a good idea. but it would be to much work for the dev to even concider. you take the AI now say there are 140 differant mobs and it took 1 hour to write each AI at a wimpy pay of $40 per hour thats over 5k for just making the AI's then to maintain them is even more time. Plus when ever you change something you take a chance of creating bugs in your program. and having bugs can kill your game. ( how many games did you not play cause of bugs)
so were i think it would be cool for the player i dont see that it would be cost efective to the game.Wed Jan 07 2009 1:41PM Report
gan3f: No one would have to test the parameters that a player chooses before it goes into the game. The cost of submitting an AI would be considerable, to deter players from randomly submitting a bunch of stupid AIs. Spending an amount of money equivalent to a few hours worth of farming isn't something you do every day if you're never going to get anything back. It's a quite affordable sum to people who are good at it, though, if on average they'll get back double what they paid over the course of the next month.
Inevitably, some players would submit stupid AIs, which would go into the live game, but after it just means that the mobs using that AI get killed a lot and rarely or never kill anything, that particular AI would be removed from the game automatically pretty quickly. Counting kills and deaths is not difficult to program.
Because a "good" AI (that is, one that is effective at killing players) propogates and gets used in many mobs over a long period of time, while a "bad" AI is quickly removed, if half of the AI submissions are just awful, those might only be used in a few percent of copies of mobs.
Korhindi: That's kind of what I have in mind. Players wouldn't be asked to type in C++ code. Rather, they'd be given a form with lots of drop-down boxes, check boxes, spots to type in integers within predetermined bounds, and the like. Players wouldn't be able to seriously break anything; at worst, they'd be able to make mobs stand there and do nothing until they die.
I've dug through the AI files in Age of Empires and Civilization 4, both of which are pretty readable. It's obvious that there is some internal code that players can't get at (well, in the case of Civ 4, players actually might be able to get at it, but I didn't find it), that dictates what a zillion different parameters actually do. The AI file is then just a long list of parameters for how this or that particular civilization will behave. Those games surely require more complex AI than your average MMORPG.Wed Jan 07 2009 3:14PM Report
I opened your blog because of the title. Shame it wasn't descriptive of the entry.
I'm involved in AI research, and gaming companies do hire external programmers for their AI a lot of the time. I worked on a few back when I could grow a fringe in a prior job.
I can't tell for which genre of gaming you're talking about, but it would certainly redefine the term 'dumbing down' :)Wed Jan 07 2009 9:14PM Report

Quote from:
Two opposing tendencies paradoxically coexist in terrestrial consciousness -- the insistent quest for intelligent signals from other civilizations and the persistent aversion to any attempts to transmit such signals from Earth toward probable fellow intelligent beings. If typical for our entire Universe, such manifestations of intelligence would make the search for other civilizations totally meaningless.
Frank Drake: It's too late to worry about giving ourselves away. The deed is done. And repeated daily with every television transmission, every military radar signal, every spacecraft command ... I think that hostile tribes bent on war, be they terrestrial or extraterrestrial, destroy themselves with their own weapons, before they have any notion of how to attempt interstellar travel.
Academician Andrey Sakharov, Nobel Laureate, Questionnaire "CETI", 1971:
"I would like to notice the importance of designing and, especially, accomplishing practical projects directed to sending signals. This is the only way to understand subtle problems of contacts. Here, as it always happens, egoists end up with failure."
Vitaly L. Ginzburg, Nobel Laureate:
"…there is nothing more dangerous than to speak about the danger of communication."
hmmmm. Is it a coincidence or what that David Grinspoon's article bears a striking resemblance to an earlier (June 2007) and better article by David Whitehouse.
Shame on you Dr Grinspoon.
You know as me than active SETI signal are much more powerful than our usual radio background. This as two consequence: its make the Earth more detectable and as a transmitter you are speaking for the whole earth.
These two facts alone requiere some ethical reflection.
To Dr. J. Spenser:
I ask you -- Please be more polite. David Whitehouse's article and David Grinspoon's article are differing. My name appear both in Whitehouse's and Grinspoon's articles, thus I guess, I have the right to
>>ask you -- Please be more polite.
The radar beam fills ONLY 10^-7 of the sky, so the address transmissions towards the selected Sun-like stars do not represent any threat.
In my early paper "Sending and Searching for Interstellar Messages",
I demonstrated that usual Asteroid Radar Researches have much better chances to
>>make the Earth more detectable...
Since we use the same radar for both CETI and planetary science, only the CETI/Planetary science ratio matter. Up to now, radar have mostly be used for Planetary science therefore CETI has a marginal impact. Nevertheless, our CETI transmission have a norrower bandwith than most planetary radar transmission. This make them much more easier to detect. In consequence, I think this skew the risk in favour of CETI.
In any case, CETI bring the problem of representation of the Earth population, which is not yet a solved issue.
SETI / METI controversy akin to scholastic religious public debate -- both parties are sure in proper rightfulness...
I can produce additional case for METI, but do not want to do it, because of

Dear Colleagues,
In order to overcome spam filters, please write
in Subject area, if send comments to my e-mail addresses:
Though I'd personally agree with the "silent policy", I think it's important to have clear ideas about "our" detecability, if only for the sake of advancing from (fun though) arguments as "hungry alien". We are on the verge of finding self-replicating, presumably organic matter around nearby stars ourselves, with the prospect of (arguably) intelligent agents in the coming decades. All this passively (or so we can claim). We don't know yet just how "interesting" we are.
(see epoch 6)
Oops. This issue seems to be addressed by the Grinspoon article, sorry.
what sort of gear did you use, were you self-sufficient? Do you have a blog or jnaorul covering the trip and what gear you used in more detail? I am thinking of doing a tour through Scandinavia next year and am trying to work out what gear I'll need.
Flexible wnirkog hours' and creche facilities' are not just for women scientists. 6th pay commission has recommened staggered wnirkog hours(flexible wnirkog hours ) and child care leave to be provided to women with minor children. Apart from this, it also recommended six month maternity leave. Thats really a positive step. It relieves the young mothers of the mental stress while balancing their babies and wnirkog life. This helps in better care for home and children and also encourages more women to take up job. Seriously, this is a blessing for the family as a whole!

MLB.com's No. 7 prospect went 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs to lead the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders to a 6-2 triumph over the Springfield Cardinals.
Profar got off to a fast start, sending starter Michael Blazek's 1-0 pitch over the right-field fence in the bottom of the first inning to knot the game at 1-1. After lining out in the third, the 19-year-old shortstop singled home Engel Beltre in the fifth and nearly had another RBI an inning later when Zach Zaneski was thrown out at the plate trying to score on Profar's base hit.
"I was starting to be patient and not think about anything and just hit the ball hard," Profar said. "And it worked for me tonight."
The 2011 South Atlantic League MVP had gotten off to a slow start in the Texas League, hitting .077 with one RBI through seven games. He scored twice against the Cardinals and raised his average 90.
"I was very happy and proud of myself," the Curacao native said. "I'm working hard every day to be successful. I'm trusting myself and I know I can do it."
While some players might try and temper expectations after making the jump from Class A to Double-A, Profar has set the bar high.
"Just try to have a good season like last year or better," he said. "I trust in myself. I know I can do it every day."
Mike Olt, the Rangers' No. 3 prospect, doubled and scored a run. Profar, who hits in front of Olt in the RoughRiders' lineup, believes he benefits most from playing alongside the third baseman.
"He's making everything easy for me, especially the balls on [my] right side," he said. "I don't have to worry about getting there, I have Michael there."
Oscar Taveras, the Cardinals' No. 3 prospect, homered in the top of the first for Springfield.
