The Not-So-Gentle Art Of Getting a Table
By FLORENCE FABRICANT
Published: June 11, 1997
WHEN a Manhattan couple, Carol Peligian, an artist, and her husband, Robert Baghosian, a lawyer, dine out, they make reservations in Mr. Baghosian's name. ''Inevitably, the person taking the reservation will ask, 'Eric?' And we say, 'Uh-huh,' '' Ms. Peligian said. ''They usually give us a table.''
Few people share a famous name, but borrowing one to obtain prime-time reservations at certain restaurants is not uncommon. And it's not the only strategy.
Alain Michel, the director of Jean Georges, on Columbus Circle, described the ploy of making a reservation in the name of a famous person. When the party arrives, the celebrity, of course, ''could not make it at the last minute.''
This year, with such a bumper crop of high-end restaurants opening in Manhattan that restaurateurs are complaining of a shortage of qualified waiters and even cooks, there would seem to be enough seats to go around. Flush with money to spend, diners have become more determined to get tables, especially in hot new spots like Balthazar in SoHo, Jean Georges and Le Cirque 2000 in the New York Palace, as well as favorites like Aureole on East 61st Street and Union Square Cafe.
And a rave review raises the stakes. Jean Georges, which received a four-star review in The New York Times last Friday, accepts reservations no more than a month in advance, and most time slots were snapped up even before the review appeared. The restaurant has added phone lines. ''Our biggest problem is the frustration people have now,'' Mr. Michel said. ''People are actually coming to the door of the restaurant to try and make reservations.''
If a famous name doesn't work, there is always the buddy system. Chefs and restaurateurs are constantly amazed at how many ''friends'' they have.
''I was once standing in the dining room as some guy came in and said he was a close personal friend of Mr. Parker, the owner,'' said Charles Palmer, the chef and owner of Aureole. At Nick & Toni's in East Hampton, N.Y., Bonnie Munshin, the manager, said people often say they are good friends of Nick's, but Nick is really the childhood nickname that Jeff Salaway, an owner, no longer answers to.
For bona fide friends and relatives of the owner, most restaurants will manage to find seats.
The perception that it takes more than a simple telephone call and your name to snare a reservation between the prime-time hours of 7 and 9:30 P.M. is not new. Barry Wine, who closed his restaurant, the Quilted Giraffe, in 1992, recalled that he ''used to get a lot of Robert De Niros wanting tables.''
In fact, Mr. De Niro usually does not need to make reservations elsewhere because he owns several restuarants in TriBeCa and often dines on the porch of one of them, TriBeCa Grill, partly hidden from view.
Name-dropping is not just a Manhattan phenomenon. At the new Spago in Beverly Hills, Calif., Stacy Gantzos, the maitre d'hotel, said that everyone claims to be a friend of Wolfgang Puck, an owner. ''And they get upset if we don't give them what they want,'' Ms. Gantzos said. ''This is a spoiled clientele.''
But in Chicago, at Charlie Trotter's, for example, it is less common. ''We get it mainly from people who call from New York,'' said Carolyn Cannon, a reservationist. ''They try to impress you with their connections, but at our restaurant it doesn't matter. If a table is available, it's available. If it's not, it's not.''
Sirio Maccioni, the owner of Le Cirque 2000, said that the disappointed often say: ''If my name was Donald Trump or Henry Kissinger, you would not refuse me a reservation.'' Bruce Hanks, the co-owner and manager of the Independent in TriBeCa, said a woman called recently and asked: ''Who do I have to be to get in? I'll be anyone you want me to be, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Goldie Hawn, just tell me!''
Mr. Maccioni explained that it is not just the famous names but also the regular customers who are given priority, and so are those who are staying at the New York Palace. Le Cirque is still working its way through a list of 2,000 reservations that were made starting in December, because Mr. Maccioni thought it would open by February, not May.
Last week, Le Cirque added another line to help accommodate about 3,000 calls a day. The restaurant is fully booked for dinner until the end of August and has taken some reservations for November and December.
At Balthazar, which has been receiving about as many calls as Le Cirque and accepts reservations only three weeks in advance, the owner, Keith McNally, said there are times when he cannot find a free phone line to make an outside call.
For the new 38-seat restaurant in Bouley Bakery in TriBeCa, which has yet to open, there will be four phone lines for reservations. ''We've already had people piling in the door, trying to make reservations,'' said Melissa Gosnell, a manager.
Then there are the opportunists who call to ''confirm'' a reservation that was never made. ''Sometimes they just fax in a so-called confirmation,'' said Laurie Tomasino, the manager of the Gotham Bar and Grill in Greenwich Village. ''Nonetheless, we do try to fit them in.'' Union Square Cafe also makes an effort to accommodate such people. ''We have to assume we made a mistake,'' said Naomi Flensburg, a reservationist.

SHIP Program Seeking Eligible Participants Needing Help with Medicare Costs
The State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) has recently received information from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding 515 people who reside in DeKalb County who may qualify for additional help with their Medicare costs. This is the number of residents who may not currently be paying low co-pays at the pharmacy as well as get assistance paying their Part B premiums. The Extra Help Program (also called Low-Income Subsidy) is a program that is processed by Social Security Administration which helps certain low-income beneficiaries by paying zero dollar monthly premiums, no deductibles and very low cost share at the pharmacy. This program also eliminates the coverage gap, or as most calls it, the "donut hole." The extra help program is valued up to $3,900.00 per year per beneficiary as well as the possibility of getting back the Part B premium which is $96.40 (for most individuals) and deducted out of SSA checks automatically.
The SHIP program can assist any beneficiary with Medicare by helping with the application process electronically. Many people in DeKalb County already qualify for the "extra help" due to the fact that they already receive TennCare or SSI benefits and therefore do not need to apply each year. For others who meet certain income and asset guidelines, the application process is easy and submitted to Social Security electronically through www.ssa.gov. The great thing about applying online is that once the application is reviewed by SSA, it is then sent to the state Medicaid office with the individual's permission to see if they qualify to get assistance paying the Part B Premium which is called a "Medicare Savings Program."
Many people who debate applying should do so anyway. Most people automatically assume they do not qualify because they have always been denied for other programs for making a little too much and have become tired of being told no for the smallest benefits. There are no estate recovery or recapture penalties to this benefit. An individual must have a monthly income of $1,354 or less (1,821 for a married couple) to qualify for the extra help. Having additional family members may make this amount higher. Resource (asset) limits are below $12,510 for single and $25,010 for a couple. Please note that a person's home, car and personal possessions are not looked at. Resources, or assets, can include other properties, savings or checking accounts, certificates of deposits and cash value of any IRA's or annuities. Due to new MIPPA laws, (Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008), the application can no longer ask for cash value of life insurance policies nor ask for value of any help provided by others to help pay monthly expenses.
If you think you may qualify for the extra help paying Part B or Part D costs, or, you know someone who may, please call SHIP for free assistance in applying at toll free 1-877-801-0044. SHIP is a non-profit program which is administered locally at Upper Cumberland Development District in Cookeville. SHIP provides free, non-biased information on all Medicare topics to beneficiaries and their caregivers throughout the Upper Cumberland fourteen counties. We are currently seeking volunteers to help us with the challenge of helping find the 310 individuals in DeKalb County. Please call (931) 432-4111 ext. 247 if you are interested in volunteering with the SHIP Program.

TIPS industries has received a NATO contract to the value of €23 M to move the Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS) programme forward. The contract will address issues such as interoperability, NATO airborne early warning and control harmonisation, and potential cost saving measures in parallel to the programme's upcoming design and development (D&D) phase. The award follows NATO's selection of the TIPS mixed fleet to meet the NATO requirement for the AGS core capability and the decision of 23 nations to participate in the programme.
As part of this study, the TIPS industries — EADS (Germany), Galileo Avionica (Italy), General Dynamics Canada (Canada), Indra (Spain), Northrop Grumman (US) and Thales (France) — will also address integration of the Transatlantic Cooperative AGS Radar (TCAR) into TIPS mixed fleet. The study will be completed by late 2005, paralleling and paving the way for a smooth transition into the D&D phase.
At the signing of the contract, Tom Enders, CEO of EADS Defence and Security Systems, commented, "This contract award reaffirms the strong support for the AGS programme and further signals NATO's commitment to get the programme underway. We expect that this study will provide NATO and the nations with a clear road map towards a successful D&D phase."

According to the Daily Mail, Celtic have made a £2million bid for Stoke City striker Cameron Jerome:
Celtic make bid for Stoke striker Cameron Jerome but could be thwarted by Norwich http://t.co/hjVoBEgzFu #DailyMail #Celtic
— Celtic FC News (@celticfcnews) August 17, 2014
The 28 year-old isn't the most dependable goalscorer, having found just nine goals in his last 77 Premier League appearances. But Jerome does possess the knack to pull of the sublime – this goal against Southampton in December 2012 being a classic example:
The former Birmingham and Cardiff forward impressed on loan at Crystal Palace last season too, netting just twice in 28 outings but producing a number of important displays.
Famed for his power and pace, the 6 foot 1 striker would be a good fit for the Scottish top flight.
But the Bhoys' interest is rivalled by Championship side Norwich, and it's believed Jerome would prefer to stay in England:

Ron Roenicke looking for 1-2 combo atop lineup
Phoenix -- Brewers manager Ron Roenicke knows shortstop Jean Segura will bat either first or second in the lineup this season.
The question is: Who will fill the other spot in the batting order?
Segura had a strong season in 2013 batting in the two-hole but the player who batted leadoff most often -- Norichika Aoki -- was traded to Kansas City during the off-season. So, Roenicke must figure out the best tandem in the top two spots in the order.
"That's going to be ongoing," said Roenicke. "We'll see how spring training goes and the comfort zone of guys We'll try some different things in spring, some different guys, and see how it looks.
"It's an important spot because you've got really good Nos. 3-4 (hitters in Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez) and depending on where 'Luc' (Jonathan Lucroy) hits, No. 5, and obviously 'Gomey' (Carlos Gomez). So, it's an important two spots for them getting on base for our guys to drive them in."
Asked if he were reluctant to move Segura after he performed so well there last season, Roenicke said, "I'm not reluctant if it's moving him to No. 1. At No. 1 or No. 2, I think he's good.
"I'll try to get that order before we get to the very end (of camp). I'd like the basic lineup to be out there some."
- Jonathan Lucroy withheld from lineup because trade talks 'progressing'
- Jonathan Lucroy not in Brewers' lineup
- Jonathan Lucroy in lineup; Ryan Braun out
- Jonathan Lucroy has right to block trade to Cleveland
- Craig Counsell wants Jonathan Villar to learn lesson
- Brewers look to take series from Diamondbacks
- Brewers place Jacob Barnes on DL, recall Michael Blazek
- Keon Broxton, Jake Elmore get starts in outfield
- Having to shut down Domingo Santana again 'a big setback'
- Jean Segura, Rickie Weeks return to Miller Park

PV = nRT
Question: Calculate the molar amount of hydrogen gas that wasproduced in the reaction below given the following.
Mg + 2HCL ---> MgCl2 + H2
-Moles of magnesium used: .00247 mols (mass = .06 grams)
-volume of flask where reaction takes place: 250 mL
-Maximum pressure of reaction: 112.8 kPa
-Initial pressure of reaction: 100.34 kPa
-Change in pressure then is 12.46 kPa.
-Initial Temperature: 22.7 Cels
-Final Temperature after reaction: 23.0 deg Cels.
You may need Vapor pressure of water, in kPa, as aconstant.
In the gas law, R = .0831.
How do we use vapor pressure of water? I am confused where tostart but once i get this I know what to do.
molar mass of magnesium is 24.31 g / mol.

The 23-year-old, signed from Yeovil in the summer, made an immediate impact after coming on for Michael O'Connor in the 70th minute, converting Courtney Cameron's pinpoint cross for the winner.
Agard got lucky with the ball going in off Dons keeper Neil Sullivan's head via the post to extend AFC Wimbledon's winless run to six games and Evans, while refusing to get carried away, believes Agard is fast becoming the perfect footballing role model.
"It was a fantastic header from Kieran and I think the keeper thought it was going wide. Kieran made 70 yards to just be in that box," said Evans.
"The whole dressing room is delighted for that young man; he is everything a professional should be. Any other day [Daniel] Nardiello would get us three or four goals.
"But that happens doesn't it; he missed a chance and always got in a position to have another, that's the sign of a good striker.
"It's not about what happens in December. We're not going to get carried away. We all believe that last week we deserved a point. There was nothing in the first half but I think we absolutely dominated the second half. Arguably we could have scored five or six.
"We can play the best teams in the Football League and we can go toe to toe with them with the players we've got."

As season 10 veteran on the Real Housewives of Orange County, Vicki Gunvalson is well versed in the ups and downs of reality television. As a twice-divorced woman who's had to pay both ex-husbands off post-marriage, she is also not adverse to fiercely protecting her assets when it comes to her new living arrangement with Brooks Ayers – even if it means getting a lawyer involved!
In her Bravo blog, Vicki explains the reasons behind, and terms of, her cohabitation agreement with Brooks. "I have been divorced twice, and both times I had to pay my husband's off," she explains, adding, "I never received child support with my first marriage, and with my 2nd marriage I had to pay Donn alimony. This way, I am protected if my relationship doesn't work out with Brooks. We have a legal binding agreement that my divorce attorney drafted, and Brooks signed without any hesitation. This eliminates any miscommunication in a relationship once you put it all out there about what your expectations are, it's one less thing to worry about. It's a pre-nup without the 'nup'."

I am here to stay this time! I think we might have done it but I'm a bit hung up on needing to see the word pregnant on a digi. I don't know why. But for some reason I will feel better. What in the world did they do before pregnancy tests?! Probably had a lot less anxiety. Here are my 2 frers. The bottom was taken in the afternoon yesterday (I told myself I wasn't going to test and held out for as long as I could lol) and the top is fmu from today. Then I took a digi with sum after holding it for 3 hours. It was negative. Boo. But I AM pregnant, right????? Logically I know I am. But that digi test is playing with my emotions. I am 12dpo I believe. I'll include my chart too.
Did anyone else get a positive frer but negative digi?

humans deserve this... BUCK UP fox
Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm
Maybe it might work better as a stunt or something, with foxes dragging humans through busy department stores or highstreets. But these ads (especially the headlines) are terrible.
This is terrible, it actually has the reverse effect on me. Now I just want to kill that fox
Fox, gun, man died in the forest ..it's so Serbia. Welldone finally u can make this horrible print ad represent your country.
The grammar is wrong- it should read either "Fox like these don't exist" or "A fox like this doesn't exist"

TV Stretches Limits of Taste, to Little Outcry
Published: April 6, 1998
(Page 2 of 2)
*Pro wrestling has long been popular, but now there is competition between the World Wrestling Federation (on USA) and World Championship Wrestling (on TNT), which has led to dueling levels of viciousness in the staged bouts.
Some of the bouts between Jerry Springer's guests are obviously staged, too, and have become a cult attraction for college students, as evidenced by his appearance on MTV, where research into the tastes of teen-agers and young adults is minutely detailed, intensive and constant.
Mr. Springer's MTV shows included one in which a young man and woman told the woman's boyfriend that they were sleeping together (the two men got into a fistfight), and one where the host offered people $1 to do kinky things like dance naked in front of the audience (with appropriate blurring to make the segment suitable for television).
''The rationale was, he's very much of the moment and has a much younger audience than anyone thought,'' said Judy McGrath, president of MTV. ''He's someone our viewers are talking about. And these were college students, not high school, and spring break is a college bacchanalian experience.''
College students are the target audience for ''South Park,'' too. Comedy Central schedules it at 10 P.M. with a TV-MA rating (not for viewers under 18), but many children and adolescents watch it.
Drew Skillman, a 17-year-old in Bellevue, Wash., argued that ''South Park'' has an original and even sophisticated political humor that adults may miss. He likes the way it makes racist, ethnic and sexist jokes indiscriminately.
''It breaks the politically correct rules that are all over TV right now,'' he said. ''My friends and I, it's not like we want to be racist or anything, but they poke fun at everybody. It's refreshing, it's no-holds-barred.''
Younger boys like it for simpler reasons: the flatulence jokes. Those jokes ''really made me laugh because it was so in tune with my son,'' said Janet Ceja-Orozco of El Cerrito, Calif., who has an 11-year-old son and a 13-year-old daughter. She said she was far more concerned that so many of her children's friends watch ''Jerry Springer.'' Her school district has a year-round system, with three-week breaks scattered through the year; many children are home alone in the daytime.
''My kids and their friends are all talking about it,'' she said. ''They know what time it's on in the morning, and that it's repeated late at night, and they tell me their friends stay up to watch it. I think it's awful, these people beating each other up all the time and the sexual stuff -- 'my husband slept with my best friend' -- but they do watch it. Then we talk about it. We talk about how low people can go.''
Indeed, some parents said a consoling factor about the sexually explicit shows is the opportunity they provide to talk about such subjects.
On a recent episode of ''Dawson's Creek,'' some girls made fun of a football player by spreading the word that he ''couldn't fertilize a garden'' and ''gets a soft spot for the ladies -- in a very unfortunate location.''
Jamie Kellner, president of the WB Network, said parents should be realistic.
''It's the way high school kids actually do talk to each other,'' he said. ''You can watch with your kids and be let in and learn about it, or you can hide from it, but this world exists and your kids are into it.''
He also emphasized that the show's hero, Dawson, ''is a virgin who has chosen not to have sex, who is also anti-drug and anti-smoking, and believes marriage is a sacred institution.''
But what of Pacey, the young man who had an affair with his teacher? Mr. Kellner said the episode ultimately sent a positive message because the teacher lost her job and Pacey was ostracized at school.
Whether it matches most high school students' experience or not, ''Dawson's Creek'' has captured their attention. Since its debut on Jan. 20, it has vaulted to the No. 2 spot among teen-agers, behind ''The Simpsons,'' on Fox.
In Seattle, one group of 15-year-olds has a ''Dawson's Creek''-watching party each Tuesday, despite the reluctance of their parents.
''We tried to put the kibosh on it,'' said Nancy Stokley, whose daughter has had friends over to watch it and has gone to others' homes. ''We said, 'Hey, this is a school night, you know, this is ridiculous.' But they are all quite into it. It has hit a nerve.''
Carol Orme-Jackson, of Cambridge, Mass., also found out through a reporter's inquiries that her 14-year-old daughter watches ''Dawson's Creek'' at friends' houses. Ms. Orme-Jackson said she was not worried by the talk about sex per se, but ''that this kind of trashy life style becomes glamourized.''
Some parents say children learn to idolize the wrong sorts of people and life styles. Others say children know the difference between reality and the fictional world of television.
Some experts worry that young people will be desensitized to meanness and sexual risks. Michael Cohen, a developmental psychologist and partner in a New York City research firm, Arc Consulting, shares that concern but said not enough research has been done to draw conclusions.
But many parents today believe battling with their children about television is almost pointless, given the antisocial humor, foul language and sexual innuendo young people hear everywhere else.
''It's part of life,'' said Katherine Mahoney, a mother of two teen-agers in Cambridge, Mass. ''I'm of the notion that life is a soap opera.''

Skip to comments.Rasmussen: Many Say Government Now Operating Outside the Constitution [YA THINK???]
Posted on 11/23/2010 9:40:20 AM PST by Constitutionalist Conservative
Voters are clearly dubious about the size and scope of todays federal government.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 39% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the federal government currently operates within the limits established by the Constitution of the United States.
Forty-four percent (44%) disagree and say it is not functioning within those limits, while another 17% arent sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Earlier surveys have shown that just one-in-five voters believe that the government today has the consent of the governed. Forty-eight percent (48%) see the government as a threat to individual rights. According to the Declaration of Independence, governments are formed to protect certain inalienable rights.
Most Americans think the Constitution is just fine the way it is and should be left alone. But 39% say the governing document doesnt put enough restrictions on what the government can do.
As is often the case, theres a wide gap between the perceptions of the Political Class and those of Mainstream voters when it comes to the federal government. Eighty-three percent (83%) of Political Class voters say the government now operates within constitutional limits, but 62% of those in the Mainstream dont share that view.
One aspect of the Constitution that is frequently challenged is its protection for freedom of speech. But 85% of voters say, generally speaking, that the constitutional protection of speech is a good thing for the United States. Only six percent (6%) disagree. The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on November 21-22, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
Nearly two-out-of-three voters (65%) are at least somewhat angry at the current policies of the federal government, including 40% who are Very Angry.
Sixty-one percent (61%) of Democrats say the federal government currently is operating within the limits established by the Constitution. Holding the opposite view, 65% of Republicans and 52% of voters not affiliated with either of the major parties do not believe the government is functioning within constitutional bounds.
But all three groups agree overwhelmingly that the constitutional protection of freedom of speech is a good thing.
Sixty-six percent (66%) of political conservatives say todays federal government is out-of-bounds constitutionally, but 66% of liberals disagree. By a narrow 43% to 37% margin, moderates think the government is within constitutional guidelines.
In surveys for several years, voters have defended the Constitution and questioned how it is being applied.
Sixty percent (60%) of voters, for example, say the U.S. Supreme Court should make its decisions based on the Constitution and legal precedents rather than being guided by a sense of fairness and justice. But only 38% think the high court is actually guided by the Constitution when it makes its rulings.
Despite continuing gun control efforts by federal, state and local governments, Americans overwhelmingly believe the Constitution guarantees the right of the average citizen to own a gun.
At the same time, most voters (65%) say they prefer a smaller government with lower taxes rather than one with more services and higher taxes.
Most Americans say the government already has too much influence over the economy and is involved in too many things that would be better left to the private sector.
Seventy percent (70%) of voters think big government and big business generally work together against the interests of investors and consumers.
While protective of their freedom of speech rights, most Americans have agreed over the years that they are willing to sacrifice some of that freedom to protect children from indecency.
Only 44% think the govt has exceeded its constitutional boundaries.... but I wonder how many of those 44% truly understand what the boundaries are?
The disconnect between the "Political Class" (which spans both parties) and the rest of us is quite striking, and indicative of why things tend not to change in Washington.
But hey: "...all three groups agree overwhelmingly that the constitutional protection of freedom of speech is a good thing." Yaaaay!
I participated in one of their polls Sunday night. Mostly economy related questions.
For, exactly, how long has the U.S. government exceeded its constitutional boundaries? That's the question I want answered.
Is the pope Catholic?
Is water wet?
REALLY???? Who would have thought? Of course, they are. They are fraudulent.
Unfortunately, too many Americans do not see this as a bad thing.
Since 1861.
I wonder how many just don't care whether the government follows the Constitution or not, because they believe it is just an old dated document that has no relevance to modern life.
"the U.S. Supreme Court should make its decisions based on the Constitution and legal precedents rather than being guided by a sense of fairness and justice"
I don't get it. Following the Constitution IS fair and just.
"For, exactly, how long has the U.S. government exceeded its constitutional boundaries?"
Since 1789, probably.
This is a phony poll.
I believe the question should not have allowed for "Don't Know/Not Sure".
This is an important question, and either you believe the Federal Govt IS or IS NOT funtioning outside of the Constitution.
If there were just a Yes-No option, then the phony breakdown of 44-39-17% would equate to a 53% majority believing the Govt is acting outside the Constitution
Do you think we can identify with and feel what the citizens of Germany felt like in the 1930's watching their way of life destroyed?
Even in the Roman Empire, there was a valiant, but ultimately losing battle -- such as with the "Twelve laws" and other constitutional limitations -- to limit the power of central government over individuals. See Was Paul a Roman?.
What country is this in?
Probably since, at least, the Jackson administration.
So here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to have a special t-shirt made. It'll simply have the words of the Fourth Amendment printed on it.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons... against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated..."
And I'll just stand there and let them do their groping.
If anyone would like to steal this idea and turn it into a commercial enterprise, feel free. I'm too busy and live too far away from a city to do this myself. I'd buy the shirt, though.
Wow! I really want one of those.
With the t-shirt in a heap at the foot of the bed.
That's why we have the word TREASON!
Scott's a little slow, but eventually he 'get's it', usually after the fact. He's a Monday morning quarterback as far as I'm concerned, referencing candidates and election predictions.
That was my first thought -
most leftists DESPISE any fixed set of rules because those rules preclude the "discretion" of the "ultra-smart" ruling class.
Unfortunately, most Germans and Austrians thought Chancellor Hitler was their savior, the best thing since sliced bread w/butter. Just like the Obots.
Those that could "see" evil growing and taking over bailed out of Germany at the first opportunity. That was why they survived the Holocaust.
We have useful idiots right now that cannot see evil. When they're dragged before an Obama Death Panel and denied health care and shipped to an Obama Hospice Center to die, they will realize that they made the same mistake as many in Germany did. Just my opinion!
"For, exactly, how long has the U.S. government exceeded its constitutional boundaries? Thats the question I want answered."
Great question. And the answers you'd get would be the most telling.
Marbury vs Madison anyone?
Many thanks! Be well and God bless.
No wonder der 'bamafuhrer wants to build new rail lines!
So, shut up, keep quiet and just turn on the showers after depositing your clothing in this pile.
Drooling idiots who watch TV support Obama when they switch the propaganda tube on. Fools.
Thanks Constitutionalist Conservative.
The answer is, "obviously for too long, and by both Parties."
There is NOTHING "constitutional" about the "Patriot Act," Affirmative Action," federally institutionalized socialism, undeclared wars, "wealth redistribution," and the eligibility of scoff-law Presidents who aren't proven American citizens. But that's just me.
Actually, it might be interesting to match up the locations of the many empty jails - many of them never yet used - around the country and the strange, useless RR links they're proposing.
I don't think many people, especially those who don't know the history of Nazi Germany or Stalin's Russia - just how dangerous the people behind this are - they are concentrating on the surface of it without realizing that it is probably but a test run to see just how easily the people can be subjugated...
And do NOT abuse the agents.
Exactly so..
"Only 44% think the govt has exceeded its constitutional boundaries.... but I wonder how many of those 44% truly understand what the boundaries are?"
All of the 44% understand the boundaries but none of the rest do. Anyone who understands the constitution has to know that the government is NOT operating within the constitution.
The American constitution was written to be read and understood by anyone with enough education to be a functioning member of society at that time. It is NOT complicated and hard to decipher as so many wish to pretend.
Modern politicians and many judges seem able to find any meaning they desire in the document but cannot perceive what was plainly intended.
I think that's too optimistic. For example, I suspect that not one American in ten understands and embraces the constitutional doctrine of enumerated powers.
My (implied) point was that many of these 44% have some favorite part of the Constitution (e.g. free speech, which was highlighted in the poll) that they think has been transgressed by Congress.
For example, I'll bet we can find a lot of conservatives who rightly think that McCain-Feingold is unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds, but they don't understand that this law is an unconstitutional atrocity in many other ways as well.
I can't argue with any of that, at least the 44% do realize that the government is overstepping the boundaries, it is astonishing to think that more than half the people either don't think so or are not certain. How can anyone who knows anything NOT KNOW that the government is living outside the constitution?
Just this morning after answering your post I had a conversation with a seventy year old man who seems to think there is a lot of positive to the idea that a person charged with a crime should be considered guilty and have to prove his own innocence. I was astounded to say the least, a large percentage of America seems to be looking forward to dictatorship as if it meant deliverance.

That would not work and I told them I was unable, they did not care and said if it was not paid, the checks would be sent to the bank. The checks were sent, I had $120 in the bank at the time. BOTH CHECKS BOUNCED, and after the bank got their fees, I had NO money left to live in.
They call and advise the checks bounced and said I needed to come in THAT DAY to pay them off, I told them I would be glad to make a payment, once I got paid again since I no longer had any cash and all they could suggest was that I go to another payday lending company and take out a loan to pay them, sorry, not doing that.
I got a call from the collections people, very rude and demanding that I pay, threated to garnish my next check (this has not made it to court yet) if I did not pay. I told them to be my guest and try. I offered a payment plan with them, the guy said he could do that, if I could pay $100 a week until the checks, fees and bounced check fees were paid off, roughly $400. I said I could not afford such and he said fine, we will get a garnishment and take your whole check.
Fast forward, after getting several threating calls at all hours of the day, sometimes 3-4 times a day, I demanded that they cease contact unless it was via US postal service. They did not cease so I changed my phone number and sent them a letter again offering a payment plan to settle this.
Finally I get served with court papers, they won a judgement in excess of $700 for a $200.00 loan.
I dont see how they can legally collect that much money, but the judge felt it was just.

Last week, I was talking to my friend, and client, Lorri Wyndham about negative comments online. It was a timely conversation because, when I speak, at least one person asks me what happens when someone says something negative about them or the company online.
I like to use the story from when I first began speaking. Someone in the audience really pushed back on me and said, "So you are telling me that if I give someone a bad review, he's going to go put it on Facebook?" Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you. Except it's not going to start happening, just because I've opened your eyes to it…it's been happening. And it's really not any different than before social media. Before, that person would badmouth his boss to his friends and family via the phone. Now, though, his circle of influence is thousands, instead of a handful, of people. But, unlike before social media, you now know that employee is badmouthing you on Facebook because you are monitoring online conversations and can see what he's saying.
So, Lorri said to me, what do we do when the negative happens?
I like to approach negative comments just like I would a crisis, in the traditional sense. The three R's of crisis are: Reflect, respond, and recover.
Reflect. Read what the person is saying. Keep an open mind. Think about his/her side of things. Consider what, if any, changes you can promise once you respond.
Respond. Engage the person online, at first. Let your community see that you are responding and that you are open to not only listening, but to changing practice, based on this person's negative comments. Then take the conversation offline, either via phone or email.
Recover. Once resolved (either with an action plan or you might come to an impasse), bring the conversation back online.
My friend Blair Minton owns affordable assisted living homes in Illinois and Indiana. A couple of months ago, we were at a board meeting in Washington, DC and looking at his company's Facebook fan page. A few hours earlier, a woman had posted that her mother had had a bad experience in one of their home's hair salons. Blair immediately responded how sorry he was on the Facebook wall and welcomed her to contact him, offline. She did and they resolved the issue. Then she went back to the fan page and posted how great the Heritage Woods CEO is and what a pleasure it is to have her mom in one of their homes because of his responsiveness.
The point is to be completely transparent and honest. In this instance, they did not come to an impasse, but that does happen. Communicate the impasse, should it happen. Let your community know what you've done. Make a record of it. And be consistent. The only way to be "rid" of a negative comment is to either create a brand ambassador out of the person or apologize, recover, and consistently communicate online with transparency and honesty.
How do you deal with negative comments?

Ginny – great post. Not responding is the worst thing companies can do. People just want to be heard and companies biggest haters can become the companies biggest advocates if a company listens and responds. Every customer wants to feel important and responding to posts is an easy way do that.
Great post, Gini. I needed this one today. And this advice applies in personal situations as well as professional ones.
This is excellent advice. Some companies shy away from publicly responding to these things and that can sometimes do more harm than good. I believe online communication should be valued just as much as face-to-face. If someone were to come to a business with negative thoughts face-to-face vs on a facebook wall, would the manager, owner, etc just stare at them blankly? A response is always good. I like how you applied the three R's.
Social comments and analytics for this post…
This post was mentioned on Twitter by ginidietrich: Tips for dealing with negative comments online http://su.pr/2PZSO7…
Great post, I think social media as a crisis itself, and its roll during a crisis is something that needs further examination. Given that the internet creates communication on steroids, the rate at which a minor problem can translate to a serious crisis is astounding.
I agree that if social media is about creating two way communications, one of the best ways to use the medium is to provide genuine feedback and clearly articulate real attempts to solve the problem. If you do that, I think some degree of good can come from any problem.
WOW – how spot on is this? Image is everything everywhere, and this clearly illustrates two key points: First is the fact that service recovery is a powerful tool. Secondly, the image that is repaired does not just work for us as an individual – it is also works wonderfully for our entire organization. When we can have everyone on our team on the same page delivering the same message responding in the same manner then our image is consistent and POWERFUL.
What amazes me is how many people still believe social media is a fad. A negative comment online just might be what it takes to convince them that it is not and they better participate now!
Yesterday I received a negative email from a franchisee. I wanted to jump right on it and respond with a message why he is totally wrong. I didn't. I could say I was reflecting but actually I was just stalling. This morning I followed your 3 Rs and spent time reflecting. Now I am ready to respond calmly and hopefully we'll recover.
Sage words of advice my dear friend – especially when you take the time to reflect upon why you are receiving negative comments in the first place. I especially enjoy the concept of the "open mind" and ensuring that you are actually reading what the people are saying or trying to tell you. Most times it is not the message but the delivery so time of reflection can certainly help address that issue. Great post. Andy

The D-backs shipped their curiously maligned slugger to the Braves in a seven-player trade reported by various outlets on Thursday morning. The deal, which is not yet official and is likely pending physicals, would send Upton and third baseman Chris Johnson to Atlanta. In turn, third baseman Martin Prado and starting pitcher Randall Delgado fortify a package of three prospects -- pitcher Zeke Spruill, shortstop Nick Ahmed and first baseman Brandon Drury -- that are said to be Arizona-bound.
Spruill (No. 6), Ahmed (10) and Drury (13) all rank among the Braves' top 20 farmhands. Surprisingly, they are the lone prospects in the deal, and none of the three are expected to be stars, no doubt the label afforded to Upton when he became the No. 1 overall Draft pick in 2005 and proceeded to average 21 home runs over his first five full seasons in the Majors.
Upton, a two-time All-Star who is signed through the 2015 season, invoked a clause in his contract to veto a trade to the Mariners two weeks ago that reportedly would have netted three of the M's top six prospects. His name has been bandied about since Nov. 15, 2010, not long after general manager Kevin Towers assumed control in Arizona.
Spruill, a second-round draftee in 2008, fashioned a 3.67 ERA in 27 starts for Double-A Mississippi last season. The 23-year-old right-hander, an owner of a strong sinking fastball and passable secondary pitches, would likely begin 2013 at Triple-A Reno. He is not a top-of-the-rotation starter.
Ahmed provides the kind of shortstop depth the D-backs have sought throughout the offseason. The 2011 second-rounder is not as polished as Didi Gregorius, whom Arizona landed in a three-team December trade, or Double-A Mobile's Chris Owings but is a solid player nonetheless. He posted a .269/.337/.391 slash line and stole 40 bases in 130 games at Class A Advanced Lynchburg last year. Like Spruill, he went on to success in the Arizona Fall League.
Of the three, Drury is the furthest from the big leagues. The 2010 13th-rounder broke out in '11, batting .347 in 63 games with Appalachian League club Danville. In his first full season as a pro this past year, however, the 20-year-old third baseman batted just .229 in 123 games for Class A Rome. He is seen as a capable defender at the hot corner.
Upton, meanwhile, goes from being the mantle-holder to just one of the guys. He joins a Braves outfield that includes his older brother, B.J., a free-agent signee of Atlanta earlier this winter, and another power hitter in Jason Heyward.
Johnson and Prado are switching places while Delgado, formerly one of the Braves' top prospects, will be hard-pressed to find room in the D-backs' Major League rotation this coming spring. The 22-year-old has 25 Major League games under his belt and, like No. 1 Braves prospect Julio Teheran, who was first reported as a top target in any deal for Upton, has had his ups and downs at Triple-A and in the Majors. Delgado compiled a 4.37 ERA in 18 games (17 starts) and walked 42 batters across 92 2/3 innings in Atlanta last season.

Saddle Creek Logistics Services is planning a cross-country trip with a truck that runs on compressed natural gas. The firm says the truck will travel from Lakeland to San Diego and back, and make deliveries for clients Procter & Gamble and Lowe's.

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next."
"In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest,
where no one sees you."
"'Tis now the very witching time of night, When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world"
"Anybody can write the first line of a poem, but is a very difficult task to make the second line rhyme with the first"
"We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road / the one less traveled by / offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth."

Area's economic output growth slower than average
The economic output of the Champaign-Urbana metropolitan area grew slower than the average for metro areas in 2012, according to figures released Tuesday by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The metro area — which includes Champaign, Ford and Piatt counties — had a gross domestic product of nearly $9.53 billion in 2012.
When adjustments were made for inflation, that represented growth of 0.7 percent from a year earlier.
That was much smaller than the 2.5 percent average increase for metro areas nationwide.
The Danville area — which includes Vermilion County — had a gross domestic product of $2.54 billion in 2012, according to the bureau.
But when adjustments for inflation were made, GDP in the Danville area actually shrank 0.5 percent from 2011.
Of the nation's 381 metro areas, 305 saw increases in GDP, when adjusted for inflation, while 76 did not.
The fastest-growing was Midland, Texas, with a 14.4 percent increase, while the biggest percentage shrinkage in GDP was in Shreveport, La., with an 11.1 percent decline.
Among Illinois metro areas, Peoria had the largest percentage growth in GDP, with a 7 percent gain — the 11th best in the nation.
Also strong was Kankakee, with a 5.1 percent increase, good for 26th place.
Here are the other Illinois metro areas, their inflation-adjusted GDP growth rates and their rankings among metro areas in terms of growth:
— Chicago, 2.4 percent, No. 134.
— Bloomington-Normal, 2 percent, No. 161.
— Rockford, 1.9 percent, No. 170.
— Moline-Rock Island-Davenport, Iowa, 1.8 percent, No. 172.
— St. Louis, including nearby Illinois, 1.6 percent, No. 186.
— Champaign-Urbana, 0.7 percent, No. 265.
— Carbondale-Marion, 0.1 percent, No. 302.
— Decatur, -0.2 percent, No. 310
— Danville, -0.5 percent, No. 324.
— Springfield, -0.9 percent, No. 344.
In the Champaign-Urbana metro area, the biggest growth in GDP came in trade and professional and business services, while the biggest shrinkage came in natural resources and mining.
In the Danville metro area, the biggest growth was in financial activities, while the biggest declines were in natural resources and mining and durable goods manufacturing.

YACHT – Summer Song
Summer is truly upon us now: the remnants of July's celebration mortar lining the slightly singed Willamette shore, a real reason for sunglasses and sunscreen hanging in the sky, and bands softly singing for Mayor Sam in front of city hall. What? Seemingly non sequitur, yet oh so Portland!
From PDX Pop Now!
"In conjunction with the Office of Mayor Sam Adams, we (pdxpopnow.com) are pleased to present an early evening, outdoor, summertime concert of spectacular Portland tuneage free and open to the public. The tradition returns!"
And what a perfect little lineup to rep Portland in this free, city sponsored busk.
w/ Claire L. Evans (Photo by Steve Schroeder)
YACHT website
The oh so dancey solo doings of Portland's own Jona Bechtolt (formerly of The Blow myspace). Despite YACHT's semi-recent popularity, he still retains a hometown collective feeling, focusing on musical immersion and inclusion of anybody, saying "All people are welcome to become members of YACHT." Note the caveat "YACHT is not a cult."
Point Juncture, WA (website)
Danceable to chillable (yes, I said chillable), Point Juncture, WA, has got fence hopping between indie folk and indie rock down pat. Simple tunes with a few hidden harmonies (at times Pixiesesque, in a good way), definitely good out loud in the city music.

Lo-fi folk, acoustically orchestral in an old fashioned spiritual kind of way, Y La Bamba will capture your ears and tug at your heart with soft riff guitar strings. "Doing Portland proud." – Billboard

Our ultimate goal is to make your designs a reality, and to help create a skylight or wall system that works for both aesthetic demands and occupant comfort.
Major is the only daylighting systems manufacturer with three distinct translucent panel product lines – value-oriented LightBasic™ translucent walls and skylights, Guardian 275® wall systems and skylights available with a wide variety of options and in a wide range of specialty configurations, and Clima-Tite™ pultruded fiberglass framed wall systems. In addition, we also offer IlluminPC™ polycarbonate multi-wall glazed wall systems, Auburn® glass skylights and mixed glazed systems that integrate fixed and operable windows and multiple glazing materials.
Successful projects don't end once the final bid comes in; it's about an on-going relationship through the design, manufacture and installation process – and beyond. Our staff will work with you to find the right solution for your project, and suggest alternatives that might provide budgetary relief or allow for more design flexibility. We also work hard to provide clear and up-front pricing so that you know exactly what to expect without any surprises.
What makes Major different is our emphasis on our clients. Contact us today to find out how we can help with your next project.

"Future system performance over the long term, relative to leaks, was primary. And the cost was significantly below glass—especially laminated glass."
"Both our company and our glass subcontractor who installed the product were extremely pleased with Major's product time, delivery time and the product's ease of installation. The project ran smoothly thanks to Major's excellent, efficient and professional customer service. In a recent conversation with our subcontractor, it was noted that both companies would purchase this product, as well as other Major Industries' products, in the future. We would also recommend this product to other companies based on our experience."
"The space has turned out very well with soft and lively light. On bright days the panels disperse the light perfectly with little to no shadowing. For remodeling our space, and adding additional space, the product has proven to work well."

Curb appeal important
The importance of making a good first impression as a community cannot be overstated. Curb appeal is as important, or more so, in selling a community as in selling a house.
It doesn't matter whether we are trying to attract a major manufacturer or a retired couple to our community. The recruitment principle is the same.
Whit Hughes, deputy director of the Mississippi Development Authority, was in town last week and he stressed that a community needs to think of itself as a product competing against other communities.
And he said is up to the community's leaders to develop a "product" that is as good as or better than other communities.
Everything from the curb appeal of the community and its entrances to the quality of its internet site is important to make the initial cut for a company looking for a location for a manufacturing plant or business, he said.
Hughes said New Albany and Union County needs a game plan on the shelf for a spur of the moment walk-in visit by a corporate executive.
Everyone should know what to say and what not to say, he added.
He suggested that people who have lived all their lives in a community sometimes overlook things that are troubling to first-time visitors or prospective economic developers.
We think Hughes makes excellent points. We question how well prepared we are with an "instant game plan" and whether we are paying enough attention to sprucing up the community's curb appeal.
Little things do make a difference, and we need to be sure we're doing our best with the details.

We examine the extent to which offer prices reflect public information for 3,325 IPOs over the period 1990–1999. We focus primarily on four variables: share overhang, file range amendments, venture capital backing, and previous issue underpricing. We show that 35%–50% of the variation in IPO underpricing can be predicted using public information known before the offer date and therefore conclude that IPO offer prices underadjust to widely available public information to a much greater extent than previously documented.

Never miss another 'The Smoking Hearts' show
Jubilee: The Smoking Hearts + Gem & The Deadheads
The Smoking Hearts
There is no such thing as a dull moment for The Smoking Hearts. Live shows have seen guitars smashed and drum kits sprawled across stages and it is not uncommon to find half the band playing in the crowd while singer Ben Mills is in the back of the venue, on the bar, or hanging from the rafters, all the while coercing the crowd into joining the party. Playing with the likes of The Used, Asking Alexandria, Gallows, Death By Stereo, Andrew WK, The Smoking Hearts have cemented their reputation as one of the most exciting young bands in the U.K.
The Smoking Hearts tour dates
Gem & The Deadheads
Think of a cool Tarantino soundtrack featuring the surf rock twang of a Dick Dale guitar, add the engaging stage presence of a young Debbie Harry, throw in some grunge and a modern rock twist and you're getting close to describing the sound these guys bring. Gem has a versatile, captivating vocal easily transitioning from delicate sensitivity in the verses to a fully charged rock offering in the choruses.

STEWART AIRPORT - Port Authority has awarded a $71.7 million contract to repave both of Stewart Airport's runways.
The work will begin in May and take three years to complete. Port Authority spokesman Ron Marsico said the goal is to minimize any impact on air traffic operations.
Port Authority said this is the single largest investment it's made in Stewart since assuming control of the airport in November 2007.
Runway 9-27, the main runway at 11,817 feet long, was last rehabilitated in 2001. Runway 16-34, which is 6,004 feet long, was last rehabilitated in 1994.
In addition to repaving the runways, a new high-speed taxiway exit will be built for runway 9-27, and 35-foot-wide shoulders will be installed on both sides of runway 16-34, matching the existing shoulders on runway 9-27.
The contract was awarded to Tutor-Perini/Intercounty Paving Association.
